1
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: This is one Bills Live presented by Kalida Health.

2
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: How the heck you doing here on this Wednesday of

3
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 2: Game week one. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you here

4
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: on one Bills Live. Thanks for joining us. Players are

5
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: on the practice field. We'll get you updated in short

6
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: order as to the goings on there. Starting roles have

7
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: been officially announced at three position battles that took place

8
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 2: all through training camp and most of the preseason, and

9
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 2: we kind of felt we knew which way a couple

10
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: of them were headed at least, but all three have

11
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 2: been settled and confirmed by the head coach. And we

12
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 2: also need to discuss some other topics around the league.

13
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: The Chris Jones situation in Kansas City. There's been some

14
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 2: comment from the player himself, and there is an interesting

15
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 2: situation going on out in Las Vegas concerning their veteran

16
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 2: pass rusher Chandler Jones, as he and Josh McDaniels. Well,

17
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: we'll explain in just a minute here when we go

18
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: around the NFL, it's a little wacky, but what else

19
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: would you expect from the Raiders. Season hasn't even started

20
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: and there's already some wacky stuff going on. We'll get

21
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: into all of that in short order, but let's begin

22
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: Steve with some practice notes and practice updates presented by

23
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: Lee Coom Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. At his

24
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: press conference an hour ago, Head coach Sean McDermott said

25
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 2: the only non participant expected in practice today was going

26
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: to be Micah Hyde. We go, we go out to

27
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: watch stretch, you know, and there's Mike getting ready for practice.

28
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: So we'll have to wait and see after practice to

29
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 2: see if he had any level of participation whatsoever. But

30
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: he looked like he was dressed and ready to go,

31
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: so we'll have to see what's going on there. It

32
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: was described as a back ailment by head coach Sean

33
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 2: McDermott said it cropped up the last couple of days.

34
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 2: Said we'll take it a day at a time. Wasn't

35
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: about to give a timetable as to how long or

36
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 2: short that situation might be for him, but I know

37
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 2: that Bills fans are certainly eager to see twenty three

38
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: and twenty three after he missed, you know, the last

39
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: fourteen games for the regular season last year due to

40
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: a neck injury that required surgery. So we'll keep our

41
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: ear to the ground on that otherwise eyes everybody else is,

42
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: you know, participating in practice, which you know you would

43
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 2: hopefully expect at the beginning of the season after games

44
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 2: start getting played all bets are off.

45
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: But it looks pretty good going into the opener.

46
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 4: A little different feel last you know today, Okay, don't

47
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 4: you think? I mean, you know, because we get into

48
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 4: that routine, you forget and then we get in there,

49
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 4: it's like, oh, here we are.

50
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 5: Uh.

51
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 4: Sean McDermott comes in, sits down and just starts right in,

52
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 4: giving us enough to Hey, Mike is not going to

53
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 4: practice to day and you know, and it's just like

54
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 4: here we go week one and it's gonna be this

55
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 4: way for it. Yeah, except you're in the same class

56
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 4: with the same teacher and everything, right, I mean like

57
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 4: you didn't you.

58
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 6: Didn't move up. That was the case.

59
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 4: We never moved up, right, So practice, same thing, a

60
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,839
Speaker 4: little different. It's it's gonna be fun to see the game.

61
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 4: It's game week. You can feel a little bit the

62
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 4: level of seriousness escalate in the building. But you're right.

63
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 4: I think the thing that you makes you feel so

64
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 4: good is the same thing you always feel. Man. Look

65
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 4: everybody's healthy, everybody's let's go. You know, wait, we're gonna

66
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 4: have to worry about, you know, the depth at this

67
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 4: position or the depth of that position. We're all ready

68
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 4: to go. Let's go, and it's fun to be there again.

69
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 2: The team announced their uniform look for the opener, and

70
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 2: they put it out on social and the Buffalo Bill's account.

71
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 2: So Monday night for the Bills, it will be all blues.

72
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 3: With the white helmet.

73
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 2: So going blue jerseys, blue pants, blue socks, white helmet,

74
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: which is you know, it's a sharp look.

75
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 3: I like it. Jets are I'm assuming I don't know this. Jets.

76
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 2: I'm assuming are going to go all whites on Monday night.

77
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 2: That would seem to make sense. They're certainly not going

78
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: to go much green at all. Maybe with the exception

79
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 2: of the helmet they are wearing. They might be wearing

80
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: some throwbacks from what I understand, and in the home opener,

81
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 2: I think they're going to that eighties Jets Kelly green

82
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 2: this year.

83
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 4: Maybe they're doing that at at least once. I haven't

84
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 4: seen them.

85
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 3: I can't remember if it's this game or they they're

86
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 3: all whites.

87
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 4: They'll announce theirs too, though, I mean, if they haven't already,

88
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 4: they haven't.

89
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, we made the throw, but it's all whites, correct,

90
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 2: I think it's all whites.

91
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, so all white jerseys.

92
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 2: And that's when they the Jets of the eighties only

93
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: had the the two stripes on the sleeve down at

94
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 2: the cuff, you know, the old school jerseys sixties and

95
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: seventies used to have the should the stripes on the shoulders.

96
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: They dropped it down to the cuff of the sleeve.

97
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 2: So that's kind of what we're expecting to see on Monday.

98
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 3: Night from them. So that's what the look will be.

99
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: What the game will look like is completely different, as

100
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 2: I'm checking the link as we speak.

101
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, all whites, yep.

102
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 2: The two stripes on the sleeve, little green collar on

103
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 2: their white jersey and green helmets. They went with more

104
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: of a metallic green with their helmets.

105
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 3: The old school Jets.

106
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 4: He used to be the chrome green, right, Is that

107
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 4: what it is?

108
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of like a metallic green look shiny, yeah,

109
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 2: shining exactly.

110
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,559
Speaker 3: Not the matt finished helmet. So cool. I'm looking forward

111
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 3: to it. I like the all blues. I'm a fan.

112
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 2: I am too, and I do like the storm troop

113
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 2: or all white look also, But yeah, the all blues

114
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 2: are pretty sweet.

115
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 4: I like the I like the all blue, the all

116
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 4: white with the white helmets. If they jump, they really jump,

117
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 4: I'd love to see him go. I like everybody, you know,

118
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 4: you always come up with this stuff. I'd like to

119
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 4: see the Bills go white on white with the old

120
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 4: red helmet. That'd be kind of nice. I always thought too,

121
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 4: if they go white on white with them and go

122
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 4: red socks, that'd be there's a.

123
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 3: Lot white on white with red socks.

124
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 4: With the red red upper socks. That'd be nice something

125
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 4: like that. Just I like the accent, but they look great.

126
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 4: I mean, this blue on blues is gonna you're.

127
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 3: A fan of the accent color, I am am.

128
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 4: It's gonna be nice.

129
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 3: All right.

130
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,119
Speaker 2: So, as we mentioned at the top of the show,

131
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: there are three starting positions that were engaged in position

132
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: battles through the course of training camp in the preseason.

133
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 2: They have all been settled officially, as coach McDermott confirmed

134
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 2: that the Bill starting right guard is Osiris Torrance. I

135
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: think we all anticipated it was trending that way since

136
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 2: Torrance started all three preseason games at right guard.

137
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 3: Over the incumbent Ryan Bates.

138
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 2: Then starting cornerback opposite Tredevius White is Christian Benford, who

139
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: looked to move into the driver's seat entering that final

140
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 2: preseason game when it appeared readily apparent that he had

141
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: leap frogged Dane Jackson for the starting job, and that

142
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: in fact proved to be the case. And then the

143
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 2: starting middle linebacker job goes to Terrell Bernard, the second

144
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: year player, the former third round pick. He missed the

145
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 2: entire preseason with a hamstring injury, but apparently did enough

146
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,559
Speaker 2: in camp and enough in returning from that hamstring injury

147
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 2: in practice this past week to nail down the job.

148
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 2: There's a part of me steve that because you know,

149
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 2: you hear, oh, why did Osiris Torrance win the job? Well,

150
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 2: it's not that Ryan Bates did anything bad. It's that

151
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: Osiris Torrance did more good and outperformed him at the position.

152
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 2: And then with this one, it's like, well, Terrell Bernard

153
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 2: wasn't even on the field in the preseason. What does

154
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 2: that say about the other guys that were up for

155
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 2: the position.

156
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 3: They clearly didn't do enough.

157
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right, that's correct. That's the only way you

158
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 4: kind of look at it. Plus you forget too, and

159
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 4: we always tend to do this. You forget. They're watching

160
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 4: Terrell Bernard all of last year and this year. May

161
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 4: have had high hopes for him coming into this year

162
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 4: and kind of been thinking he was gonna do it. Anyway,

163
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 4: because they see the guy every day, and hamstring or not,

164
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 4: they know what he's capable of, and maybe the strengths

165
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 4: of his game are exactly what they would rat they

166
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 4: prioritize over the strengths of the other guy's games, whatever

167
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 4: those may be. Certainly Bernard, you're gonna notice it when

168
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 4: they take the field. Bernard is an undersized middle linebacker.

169
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 4: He's a fly around instinctional and you're gonna see it now.

170
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 4: He's smaller than Milano, so we'll see if that holds up.

171
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 4: But I think more so than anything, Bernard's command of

172
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 4: the defense and his ability to make sure the other

173
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 4: eleven guys are doing what they're supposed to be doing

174
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 4: is as important at this point as his abilities, well

175
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 4: or as gifts.

176
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 2: I would say, of the guys that were up for

177
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 2: that position. He is the best coverage linebacker.

178
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 4: In the group.

179
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 2: He is also arguably maybe aj Klein has an edge

180
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: on him here, but he is very instinctive as a

181
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 2: player as well, reads plays quickly, diagnoses plays quickly, and reacts.

182
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: So those are the two strengths of his game. Obviously,

183
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 2: if you've got a two hundred and thirty pound running

184
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 2: back coming at him with a full head of steam clean,

185
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 2: that's a concern. But I think knowing that he is

186
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 2: probably the best pass coverage linebacker of the candidates who

187
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 2: are up for the job, and he is plugged in

188
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: as a starter despite missing the entire preseason tells you

189
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 2: a lot about what this coaching staff wanted in their

190
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 2: starting middle linebacker.

191
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 3: And we go back to what.

192
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 2: Bobby Babbage, the linebackers coach, said back in May. What

193
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: did he say, The ideal guy is a matchup player.

194
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 2: We want our two starting linebackers to be matchup players.

195
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: And what he means by that is in coverage. And

196
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 2: there we are Terrell Bernard, the best guy in coverage

197
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 2: is the starting middle linebacker. And that's the way it went,

198
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 2: even though he missed the whole preseason. So he's gonna

199
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 2: start Week one and we'll see.

200
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's and and I'll say this, you're right.

201
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 4: I mean that you do want to make sure to

202
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 4: get the right guy out there. But I think this

203
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 4: is I think this is the most unanswered question of

204
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 4: the Buffalo Bills right now. How good can Bernard hold

205
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 4: up in there? We haven't seen very much. The coaching

206
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 4: staff has seen a ton of other guys, and that

207
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 4: certainly Specter going down within middle linebacker. But he got

208
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 4: kind of relegated to the third team early in training camp.

209
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 4: But now he's on I R. He's unavailable, so they

210
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 4: the competition was really Terrell Dodson against himself.

211
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 2: Well, and aj Klein was here also, but he didn't

212
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 2: even make the roster and is not even here on

213
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 2: the practice squad, So make of it what you will.

214
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 2: Here is Sean mcdermot's This is his direct quote on

215
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 2: to rel Bernard winning the job. He says, quote, Torel

216
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 2: Bernard will start next to Matt Milano. We thought he

217
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 2: did some good things when he was healthy and available.

218
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: Unfortunately that situation got cut short due to an injury.

219
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 2: But we're confident in TB and he'll just have to

220
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 2: take it one play at a time. That is not

221
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: exactly an overwhelming endorsement.

222
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean, no, it's not.

223
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: And I think it's because the coaching staff, while they

224
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: have confidence in him, they haven't seen it live right,

225
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 2: not even in the preseason, No, they but they live

226
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 2: with the guy day and day out.

227
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 4: I think it comes down to I don't think there's

228
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 4: any question this is a team even with what we're

229
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 4: talking about going into this game. They're coming in with

230
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 4: a lot of confidence. They got a lot of experience

231
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 4: around him, they got a lot of high quality players

232
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 4: around him, they got an old pro right next to him,

233
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 4: So I don't think they're hesitant toties behind him. Yea,

234
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 4: and two propole safeties by the middle of their defense

235
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 4: is pretty good even with a brand new starter in

236
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 4: so I just I think they feel his upside and

237
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 4: his what they know about him is going to be

238
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 4: more than good enough, and they're gonna they'll start to

239
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 4: evaluate right from there.

240
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 2: I also think that putting Bernard in that spot says

241
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 2: a lot about what they believe their defensive line is

242
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 2: capable of.

243
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 3: Steven.

244
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: What I mean by that is you're not putting an

245
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 2: undersized middle linebacker in the middle of your defense if

246
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 2: you're not confident in the guys you have in front

247
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 2: of him to hold up offensive linemen and keep that

248
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 2: guy clean, because shedding blocks for him at the second level,

249
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 2: if he's got a guard in his chest, is going

250
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 2: to be pretty difficult. And so you have to have

251
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 2: resolute confidence in the defensive lineman in front of him

252
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 2: to keep him clean so he can do what he

253
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 2: does best against the run, which is run and hit

254
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 2: and find the football.

255
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 3: You gotta have.

256
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 2: Supreme confidence in those guys in front of him. You're

257
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 2: putting a two hundred and twenty five pound middle linebacker

258
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 2: on the field.

259
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, and they do. They should. I mean we,

260
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 4: you and I have talked about how different this group

261
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 4: is is gonna be particularly healthy Jordan Phillips, healthy, Poonaford, healthy,

262
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 4: day Kwon Jones, healthy, Ed Oliver coming off a new contract,

263
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 4: and I think the and people have been talking about,

264
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 4: you know, I don't know about Ed taking Ed instead

265
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 4: of tremain that kind of thing. Let me tell you something,

266
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 4: The Bills knew this because this is what they do.

267
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 4: Ed Oliver, to me, has been rejuvenated and reinvigorated by

268
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 4: citing the extension to He's the kind of guy that

269
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 4: feels respect now like he feels like, Wow, now I'm

270
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 4: in the spot, like now I got people who believe

271
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 4: he's one of those guys and needs people to believe

272
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 4: in him before he believes in himself. And signing that

273
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 4: new contract, I think has invigorated him.

274
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 3: I think very much. Last year he felt in limbo.

275
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 2: Yes, he was in the fifth year of his you know,

276
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 2: rookie contract, and I think he felt like he was

277
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 2: very much in limbo.

278
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think more so than even being relieved that

279
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 4: he signed the deal, he feels good about what it

280
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 4: says about how the Bills feel about him, and I

281
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 4: think that has turned him up a notch this preseason. Now,

282
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 4: whether it Cappa's in the regular season or not, I

283
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 4: don't know, but that's always a concern. We've talked about it,

284
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 4: particularly with defensive lineman Brownie. Some of these guys get

285
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 4: the big check and that's it. Man, they take it

286
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 4: out of gear. We've seen it with Marcel Darius here

287
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 4: in Buffalo. You've seen it with guys around the league.

288
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 4: They signed that big money deal, and man, it's just

289
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 4: too easy to take it out of gear because it's

290
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 4: just it's a hard position to play. It's punishing and

291
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 4: it's hard to show up like that. But we've seen

292
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 4: it also with other positions as well as around the

293
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 4: league and historically speaking. But there are guys who are

294
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 4: invigorated by it, who feel empowered by it, who feel like, yeah,

295
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 4: now I'm really going to show them. I think Ed's

296
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 4: one of those guys. It seems like he's one of

297
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 4: those guys that actually, you know, has turned it up

298
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 4: a notch because of the affirmation he's gotten from the club.

299
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 4: And I think the club was smart enough to know it.

300
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 4: That's why they they did it, and also that's why

301
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 4: they timed it the way they did. From their end,

302
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 4: certainly Ed would have liked to do it, you know,

303
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 4: two years ago, but waiting as long as they did,

304
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 4: and then doing it in the way that they did. Man,

305
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 4: I think Ed has really been energized by it. And

306
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 4: it's kind of cool to see. And you can pooh

307
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 4: pooh if you want. These clubs spend a lot of

308
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 4: time finding out about how what makes these guys tick

309
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 4: and what buttons you need to push and and who's

310
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 4: going to be motivated by what and how guys learn.

311
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 4: Even the techniques they used to teach these guys have

312
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 4: evolved to a point where now you've seen this stuff

313
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 4: they used to teach these guys over here, that the

314
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 4: movie screens, the walk through, the whole thing, the different

315
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 4: kinds of learning, they use all of them, so they

316
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 4: know what makes these guys tick. And I think they

317
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 4: knew exactly if they gave ed the contract they gave

318
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 4: him what it would do for him.

319
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 2: And the guy lining up behind him is your new

320
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 2: starting middle linebacker, Terrell Bernard, which is our topic of

321
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 2: discussion today. What are your expectations for Terrell Bernard as

322
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 2: you're starting middle linebacker for the Bills. Eight oh three

323
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 2: five point fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two,

324
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 2: five fifty the number to get on board, and we

325
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 2: do have open lines for you there. You can also

326
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 2: hit us up on the tweetsheet at one Bill's Live

327
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 2: because it's it's basically trying to speculate about the unknown.

328
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 2: He's really had limited action in a Bill's uniform. He

329
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 2: only got here last year. He played on special teams,

330
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 2: he was up most weeks, but as a starting middle linebacker,

331
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: you didn't even get to see him in the preseason

332
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 2: this summer, So tell us what your expectations are for

333
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 2: Terrell Bernard as your starting middle linebacker, because he's gonna

334
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,479
Speaker 2: be lining up there week one Monday night against the Jets.

335
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 2: Eight oh three five point fifty one, eight eight eight

336
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 2: five fifty two, five point fifty.

337
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 3: The number to get on board.

338
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 2: And you know, I I think, as we said, pass

339
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 2: coverage was clearly a priority for this defensive staff in

340
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 2: going with Bernard, I think his instincts and his command

341
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 2: of the defense also factor in. As you mentioned, they

342
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 2: don't have the ideal candidate for the position like you

343
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 2: did well in comparison to Tremaine. You don't because well,

344
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 2: Tremaine is a potentially in terms of physical ability, a

345
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 2: once in a generation middle linebacker. I mean guys that

346
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 2: are six and run four or five forties and have

347
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 2: thirty five inch arms, you know, don't grow on trees.

348
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 3: So and as Brandon Bean has.

349
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 2: Said himself, because people are like, oh, why didn't you

350
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 2: get a veteran for that spot? Why didn't you pick

351
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 2: somebody up in free agency? This, that, and the other,

352
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 2: And he said, look, we have a lot of high

353
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 2: priced players on this roster, veteran players making a lot

354
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 2: of money. You can't pay top dollar at every position.

355
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 3: On your roster.

356
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no question, and I've said it before, I

357
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 4: think the middle linebacker spot's going the way of a

358
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 4: little bit of the running back. This is an offensive league,

359
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 4: it's a throwing league, it's a coverage league. Defensively, it's

360
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 4: getting after the quarterback and batting the ball down at

361
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 4: the other end, or picking it off and getting and

362
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 4: forcing fumbles. The game has evolved to a point where

363
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 4: you play to your middle linebacker is not the same guy.

364
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 4: You're not going to get a run on first and

365
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 4: second down in the NFL on a regular basis, you're

366
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 4: gonna be dropping into coverage. And in fact, by putting

367
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 4: a guy like Terrell Bernard out there, I mean it

368
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 4: almost it almost invites a team to try. If a

369
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 4: team's not up for it, it almost invites them to

370
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 4: run the football at an undersized set of linebackers, which

371
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 4: with the Bills defensive line in the shape that it's in, yeah,

372
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 4: the Bills would kind of do that. But on sixty

373
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,239
Speaker 4: percent or more of the plays defensively that you're gonna have,

374
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 4: the guy's gonna be dropping into coverage, that's it, or

375
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 4: rushing the passer. So it's you know, so the middle

376
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 4: linebacker spot has become something different than it has been

377
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 4: historically in the NFL, and I think the Bills are

378
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 4: on it and just moving towards that trend. I think

379
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 4: that position has changed in its importance and particularly what

380
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 4: it's asked to do on you know, from snap to whistle,

381
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 4: it's still the same. I think between plays, you're still

382
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 4: the guy that's calling the defense. You're still the guy

383
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 4: that's communicating from the front to the secondary and all

384
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 4: of that. So that hasn't changed. But from snap to whistle,

385
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 4: I think the position is completely different and its importance

386
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 4: is different as well. It's hard to come up with

387
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 4: a defensive position that is as important, well, there isn't.

388
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 4: One is as important as a quarterback, yeah, and it's

389
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 4: an offensive league, so is a corner as good? And

390
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 4: maybe is as important as a wide receiver one? Yeah,

391
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 4: what about a wide receiver two? Maybe? For sure? You

392
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,719
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. Left tackle, I don't know. Pass rusher,

393
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 4: pass rusher, maybe, pass rusher, But that's it. Most middle

394
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 4: linebackers down the list on those priorities. So I think

395
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 4: that's where that's where you know, Tremaine Edmonds got stuck

396
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 4: at least here in Buffalo, right.

397
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 2: Eight oh three five point fifty one, eight eight eight

398
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 2: five fifty two, five fifty the number to get on.

399
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 2: We do have open lines for you there. What are

400
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 2: your expectations for Torel Bernard at middle linebacker. Let's go

401
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 2: to the phones and joining us is Butcher on the

402
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 2: east side.

403
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 3: What do you got for us?

404
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 5: Butch, My guys, my guys, Christmas, Steve. I love you

405
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 5: so much, man, It's been a time since I spoke

406
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 5: to you. I ain't want to talk about your talks

407
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 5: about Terrell Beran, but I gotta come in the one

408
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 5: thing that you guys already know about about Mike Williams.

409
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 5: At the same time, you know, I want to say

410
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 5: this to you both, and I want you to relate

411
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 5: this to my organization, which is one Buller's drive for

412
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 5: I lovepoo Gooula family and everybody else. From this point forward,

413
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 5: do not give out number Steve like you're number eighty nine,

414
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 5: like Grouse number seventy eight, like Kelly's number twelve and

415
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 5: Thurman number thirty four. From this point forward, do not

416
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 5: give out number thirty two to no one else. We

417
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 5: have a prim on the east because my father told me,

418
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 5: he said, Listen at the War Memorial Stadium on Jefferson Avenue,

419
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 5: the place they call rich Stadium out at Orchard Park.

420
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 5: The only reason reach the Orchard Park was built was

421
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 5: because of OJ Simpson. Now, whatever happened in this personal life,

422
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 5: my father, respect everybody else out there on that the

423
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 5: fire is number thirty two. When I see some scrub

424
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 5: come off the couch, we're number thirty two trying to

425
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 5: make the team, they ain't happening no more. So I asked, respect, Brandon,

426
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 5: do not get a number thirty two out no more.

427
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,199
Speaker 5: Get off that. Let me just tell you, guys, I

428
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 5: miss you so much, both of you. I listen to

429
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 5: you all the time. I've been wanting to call, but

430
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 5: I have an opportunity to call. But I just want

431
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 5: to say to you. And Steve, Chris, you know this

432
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 5: already because you created Bill's digests back in the days,

433
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 5: and I know how that was with plus the Buffalo

434
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 5: Bill's message boards. You created that too. A lot of

435
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 5: these young people like answering the phones. They don't know

436
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 5: why that go. But you know what you know, I know,

437
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 5: you know, I know, Chris. But Steve, listen, you've been

438
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 5: saying this all year long, that this team has the

439
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 5: and guess what, Steve, I gotta respect you. Know this

440
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 5: is that, Chris, I gotta respect you, Steve, because you

441
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 5: played on Super Bowl teams. That this team has the

442
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 5: most depth talent, maybe not household names, but deep than

443
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,719
Speaker 5: we ever had in a lifetime. You guys, Steve had

444
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 5: a lot of Hall of Famers. This team has depth,

445
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 5: and a lot of people are disrespecting it. But at

446
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,479
Speaker 5: the same time, come Monday, at the same time Monday,

447
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 5: they gonna find out. Kelly, I mean that, Kelly, Oh God,

448
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 5: forget me. It's like Steve and Nasmith talking to Shaney Sharff.

449
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 5: I'm talking about Josh Allen. Josh Allen only threw for

450
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 5: one touchdown last year for two James with Jets, I

451
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 5: promise you he's gonna throw for four Monday night. And

452
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 5: guess what the whole country will be like, Wow, they're

453
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 5: very talent. The only thing about it is you guys

454
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 5: have been speaking about it because I've been called in

455
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 5: a while. You guys have been speaking it about it

456
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 5: a while, and Steve, you've been telling Chris all along

457
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,760

458
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 5: do I love you guys. Man, do me a favorite.

459

00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 4: Thank you all right, but okay, thanks for the call.

467
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 3: Appreciate it.

468
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Steve and I have both said the

469
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 2: roster is better this year than it was last year.

470
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 2: We've both kind of been on that train. Yeah, and

471
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 2: from a talent and a depth perspective.

472
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 4: And you're right. Back in the day, Brownie did build

473
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 4: Bill's digest. I mean, he kept the thing afloat, so

474
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 4: you Brownie might have might have written more about the

475
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 4: Buffalo Bills in the last fifteen years. Well, I'm certainly

476
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 4: it is about last twenty years than anybody in that time.

477
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 4: Maybe the only guy that did more was maybe Larry Felzer.

478
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,439
Speaker 4: Back in the day. Mark Gun's been Mark Gun's been

479
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 4: outed a while, but he didn't write the volume that

480
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 4: you did.

481
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:21,719
Speaker 6: But anyway.

482
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 4: But yeah, there's a lot in that for the numbers.

483
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 4: The only time they give that number out is when

484
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 4: some guy asks for it. Other than that, I don't

485
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 4: think they give and they've.

486
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 2: Been hesitant to issue it now. Kyron Brown wore it

487
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 2: through the course of training camp. He was a late

488
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 2: training camp at and I think they were out of

489
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 2: numbers and had.

490
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 4: To give him that.

491
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,199
Speaker 2: And there have been a few other players you know

492
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 2: of lesser ilk shall we say, right, but.

493
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, through training we have said it. This is and

494
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 4: I've said it too. In comparison to the teams that

495
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 4: I played on that were good, it was a hard

496
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 4: roster to make. It was a difficult roster to get on.

497
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 4: You have some really quality football players. Trying to get

498
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 4: on this football team is hard. They are deep, they

499
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 4: are very talented. There were some bunch of wide receivers

500
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 4: in this room that could play for other teams in

501
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 4: the league in my opinion. And their cornerback spot is

502
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 4: as deep as you'll see anywhere. So yeah, I'm with

503
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 4: you on that, Butch, this is a hard roster to make,

504
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 4: and they are deep, they are talented. I think they're

505
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 4: more talented than they were a year ago. But they've

506
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 4: got the toughest schedule in the toughest conference coming up

507
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 4: in the next four months. We'll see how they measure up.

508
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 2: Let's go to DJ in Connecticut next. Squeeze them in

509
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 2: here before the break. What do you got for his DJ?

510
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 7: Hi?

511
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 8: Guys, thanks for choosing my call about Cayl Bernard. The

512
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 8: concern that I have is what happens to say team

513
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 8: kind of does a jumbo or a run heavy type

514
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 8: of approach, knowing exactly that we're undersized in the middle

515
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 8: of the field.

516
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 4: Well, they'll match that personnel. They'll bring in and they'll

517
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 4: bring in uh To, they'll bring in Jordan Phillips, and

518
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 4: they'll bring in Daikwan Jones, or they'll bring in Poona

519
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 4: Ford or Tim Settle and they'll they'll beef up. You're right.

520
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't even know if they'll take ed

521
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 4: off the field or not. I doubt it, but they'll

522
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 4: just count on those defensive tackles to want them to

523
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 4: get double teamed and that's it. They run out of

524
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 4: people pretty quick. So if they go heavy, the Bills

525
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 4: will match it with heavy personnel on the defensive side.

526
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, and they won't take Bernard off

527
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 4: the field to do that.

528
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 8: So they won't they won't.

529
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,719
Speaker 4: No, No, they won't need to do that. No, it's

530
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 4: because its not about man on man so much as

531
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,719
Speaker 4: it is numbers. And if you get two defensive tackles

532
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 4: and they're gonna try and they're gonna try and double

533
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 4: both defensive tackles, or if they don't double both defensive tackles,

534
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 4: one of those guys is going to dominate. So you

535
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 4: get into a point where the offense just runs out

536
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 4: of numbers and it's about run fits rather than man up.

537
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 4: So unless the offense has the perfect has the knowledge

538
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 4: of where the run fits are, they're struggling.

539
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 6: Now.

540
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 4: They're not afraid of a team going heavy on them

541
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 4: because if they go heavy, you see those guys coming

542
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 4: on the field. You you send your guys on the

543
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 4: field that are game plan for that, and Bernard will

544
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 4: be a part of that. They're not afraid of that. No,

545
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 4: because it's about numbers not size.

546
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's what I said earlier.

547
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 2: You're not putting Terrell Bernard on the field unless you're

548
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 2: resolutely comfortable with the men lining up in front of

549
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 2: them at the front of your defense.

550
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not so much about Terrell, it's about those

551
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 4: guys ahead of them.

552
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Poona Ford is a great addition run plugger,

553
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 2: and we saw what Daikwon Jones did for this football

554
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 2: team last year. Is their most consistent run defender. Now

555
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 2: you've got a guy you can rotate it. And don't

556
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 2: forget Tim Settle either. So Tim Settle had a nice

557
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 2: preseason and he's healthy this year. He went into last

558
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 2: season with a calf injury and I never really felt

559
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 2: he got on track.

560
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 3: So I'm curious to see what he brings to the

561
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 3: table as well.

562
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 2: We have to take a break because when we come back,

563
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 2: the Hall of Famer will be joining us on set,

564
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 2: the one and only Therman Thomas in for his thoughts

565
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 2: on the twenty twenty three Bill's campaign. We'll also get

566
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 2: his take on his thoughts about Buffalo's news starting middle

567
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 2: linebacker when we come back here on One Bill's Live,

568
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 2: presented by Colida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

569
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 3: All Right, Welcome back to One Bill's Live.

570
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, and the Hall of Famer.

571
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,719
Speaker 3: Therman Thomas joining us here in studio. Back for another season.

572
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 9: Theirm.

573
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 3: We are here. We're just summer is over is here.

574
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 3: We're ready to roll.

575
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 4: We're just talking before we came, just before we came

576
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 4: on the air. Do you think this game Monday night

577
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 4: it would be a bigger win for Buffalo or for

578
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 4: the Jets.

579
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 6: It's hands up for us.

580
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 4: For us, it's a bigger win for us.

581
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 6: I think it's a bigger win for us.

582
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 3: Why why do you think so?

583
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 4: Walking into New York on nine to eleven against the

584
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 4: Jets and area, you.

585
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,479
Speaker 2: Don't think the Jets are gonna walk out of that

586
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 2: If they win that game, then.

587
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 3: Not walking out going say will legit will? They're gonna

588
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 3: be waving their flags. You want to see.

589
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 4: That's different. That's that's like see we told you so.

590
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 4: If the Bills walk in there and thump those guys,

591
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 4: it's like like the like the record player, everything off

592
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 4: the radar. No, I'm talking about the Bills. They were

593
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 4: off the radar. They look like like crud. At the

594
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 4: end of last season. They were nobody's gonna be good.

595
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 4: Josh Digs. Once out the coach can't win the bab

596
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 4: the whole thing gets blown out of the water. Walking

597
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 4: in there and beating.

598
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 10: Them after Monday Tuesday morning, I'll go to the gas station.

599
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 10: I guarantee you at least five people say we're going

600
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 10: to a Super Bowl.

601
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 6: Baby. That's how it will be. You know it, Brownie, that's.

602
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 3: True, all right, there is validity to that.

603
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 6: There is.

604
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 2: But I'm telling you I think it ways because I

605
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 2: got two high school buddies that are big time Jets fans,

606
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 2: and I mean, it is okay already enough.

607
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 3: And then if I.

608
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 2: Don't even just for me personally, I'm gonna be a

609
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 2: little selfish here. I really need the Bills to win

610
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 2: because I don't need to hear it on my text

611
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 2: string with my high school buddies.

612
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 3: Like told you, man, we're the real dude, we're coming.

613
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 6: We're coming.

614
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 4: Like, if you know that's gonna happen, Here's what I

615
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 4: want you to do. If the Bills do win that game,

616
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 4: I want you to throw it back in their face,

617
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 4: I mean all over it, like say, you guys are Joe,

618
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 4: you are the Let me just remind you, guys, j

619

Speaker 4: E T S Jets, Jets, Jets.

620
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 3: That's and then it won't be there, it won't be

621
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 3: any Relax.

622
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 6: No, this is New York.

623
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 4: We're not gonna relax exactly how about this.

624
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 10: You need to explain. This is not Green Bay. This

625
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 10: is not some little where you're holding uh your press

626
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 10: conference in the corner of a locker room.

627
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 4: No, this is yes, mainstream, every day, every day.

628
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 6: Yeah.

629
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 3: Well, you know, here's the other thing.

630
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 2: You guys have played in New York enough to know

631
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 2: that if it is a big game and there are

632
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 2: big stakes involved, which I think we can agree this game,

633
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 2: is that if you go into that stadium and you

634
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 2: get up ten nothing, fourteen nothing on that New York opponent,

635
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 2: you can turn those fans on their own team real fast.

636
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 4: Oh they're happiest when they're booing the Jets, but that thrive.

637
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 3: You guys did that. I mean you've done that. You've

638
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 3: seen New York fans turn on their own team, right,

639
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 3: But also yeah, I've seen that too.

640
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 10: But I also think if we do get up ten

641
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 10: or fourteen, are we going to continue to throw the football?

642
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 10: Let's let's if we need to, we need we need

643
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 10: to run the football to take some time off the clock.

644
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 10: And let me tell you, I mean this just defense

645
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 10: is supposedly be you know all that, which I think

646
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 10: it could be. I don't know, but I had to

647
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 10: look at the clock. I had to look at the clock.

648
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 2: Thurmann went on the air at one thirty four here

649
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 2: on One Bill's Live. We're at one thirty nine, and

650
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 2: it happened. I we should have had a We should

651
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,280
Speaker 2: have laid odds on this Steve. When was Thurman gonna

652
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 2: first say Bills have to run?

653
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 3: Took five minutes.

654
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 10: For three days about I mean, I know we were

655
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 10: gonna get it.

656
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 3: I just didn't know whether five minutes there we are ball.

657
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, you know what you're two minutes ago. I

658
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 10: could have seen it earlier, but I just felled back

659
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 10: a little bit.

660
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 4: I love it.

661
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 3: I expect nothing less from your m nothing less.

662
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 5: Ye.

663
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 2: Let's well, let's why don't we jump into your wheelhouse

664
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 2: a little bit? Because we obviously know we got the

665
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 2: Cook brothers in this game, Dalvin and James. We also

666
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 2: have a Breee Hall that Bills fans didn't even see

667
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,959
Speaker 2: last year because he was out for the season before

668
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,760
Speaker 2: the Bills even played the Jets once, let alone twice.

669
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 6: He was.

670
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 2: Offensive Rookie of the Year, he was going to be

671
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 2: the Rookie of the year, so and now he's coming

672
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 2: off a major knee, and as we know, I think

673
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,359
Speaker 2: a lot of us are expecting him to be eased

674
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 2: back in this week. And when you have a guy

675
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 2: like Dalvin Cook, why are you gonna put the load

676
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 2: on Breeze Hall when you.

677
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 6: Don't need to to what?

678
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 2: And I realize every case is different, but coming back

679
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 2: from a major knee injury like that as a running back,

680
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:24,399
Speaker 2: it doesn't just all fall back into place right away, right.

681
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 10: No, it would not fall back to play because he

682
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,919
Speaker 10: hasn't had that contact. I mean being in a real

683
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 10: live I mean training camp is training camp. Yeah, you

684
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 10: get hit around a little bit, but being in a

685
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 10: live game, being able to know if you're gonna make

686
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,720
Speaker 10: this cut and that knee is going to be stable

687
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 10: and it's gonna be okay, it's gonna hold up. Yeah,

688
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 10: that'll give you a confidence, But it's it's when you

689
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 10: make that cut when you have to.

690
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 3: I can't remember if it's left knee or it's right.

691
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 10: I heard my knee my sophomore going into my junior year,

692
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 10: and it took me almost a four year to be

693
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 10: able to get into the fact that my knee was

694
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 10: going to be got over.

695
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 6: It took me a whole year.

696
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, a whole year.

697
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 6: Come back spring ball. It was my senior year.

698
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 10: I just I just said, you know what, I gotta,

699
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 10: I gotta, I gotta go back to where I was

700
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 10: not being tentative and just going back to being just

701
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 10: a flat out cutback run and all that.

702
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 6: And I did it in the spring game.

703
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 3: That took you a whole year, it too, get that

704
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 3: whole year that.

705
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 10: Spring to that spring it was the spring game, last

706
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 10: game of the season, made a cut, ran in for

707
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 10: a touchdown. Looking back at my offensive players and my coaches,

708
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 10: they were like, doing like this right here, and I

709
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 10: had no idea what happened. So we went and watched

710
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 10: the film that night, and I made a cut like

711
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,800
Speaker 10: I had never ever been been hurt.

712
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,720
Speaker 3: Before, excited because there's the old therm.

713
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 4: There's the old therm, right, and so yeah after that,

714
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 4: and Barry sitting over there, God.

715
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 6: Why did he have to make that cut?

716
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 2: Right?

717
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 6: Yeah?

718
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 10: So yeah, so yeah, it is a yeah, it is

719
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 10: a mental herder to get over. But I think, like

720
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 10: you said, what having Delvin Cook there, having Aaron Rodgers there,

721
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 10: Garrett Wilson, all these guys offense that could put up

722
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 10: some point because they had a potential to do that.

723
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 10: But yeah, I think the Delvin Cook, like the Justs

724
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 10: offensive line, I don't think they're that great.

725
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 3: Well, they're still putting it together. They're still putting it

726
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 3: to the devones. The edges are question marks.

727
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 2: You got a thirty eight year old Dwayne Brown who

728
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 2: was on pup for most of training camp, missed most

729
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 2: of the preseason. He's your starting left tackle. Basically, the

730
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 2: Jets are saying, this guy that we had on pup

731
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 2: for a month and a half and barely played in

732
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 2: the preseason, that's the best that we can put out

733
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 2: there for Aaron Rodgers blind side thirty eight year old

734
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 2: Dwayne Brown, who no knock on Dwayne Brown, He's had

735
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:48,240
Speaker 2: a great career.

736
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 3: Yeah all agree, He's not what he used to be.

737
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 4: Dwayne Brown was an elite player at his peak, no question.

738
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,439
Speaker 4: But on the other side, you've got Mackay Beckton.

739
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 3: Who who's a great story.

740
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 4: But up until this she was a punch line. He

741
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 4: was a punchline.

742
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 3: He hasn't played for two years regular season football. That's

743
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 3: an adjustment.

744
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 6: And miss v.

745
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 4: And I'll say this too, and and Bill's everybody's always

746
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 4: talking about their offensive line every team in the league

747
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,240
Speaker 4: got question marks about their offensive line. There are only

748
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 4: a few, maybe a handful, that have fewer question marks.

749
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 4: In the Bills, maybe Spencer you can say that, but

750
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 4: he's been now he's going to be, what a two

751
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 4: or three year starter. The Jets, he got some serious

752
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,240
Speaker 4: question marks, problem serious question marks.

753
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 6: Yeah.

754
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 10: So, I mean it's a hey, do I want to

755
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 10: see Aaron Rodgers throw the ball fifty sixty times? I

756
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 10: would probably say that's a good thing for you, keep

757
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 10: you in, keep you in the game, right, But I

758
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 10: think it gotta be some of those quick releases. If

759
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 10: this offensive line is not going to hold up.

760
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 3: Right, that was gonna be my next question.

761
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 2: Because you know that there are some question marks concerning

762
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 2: the Jets offensive line, Protecting Rodgers is going to be important.

763
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 2: Maybe they put a tight end over there on Becked

764
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 2: inside to help. Maybe they was have a back chipping,

765
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 2: whatever the case might be. You also have quick game,

766
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 2: but you can only use quick games so much. But

767
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 2: you can't use it the whole game because then you

768
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 2: got guys squatting, and now you've got a problem because

769
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 2: somebody might jump around. Now they're going sixty yards the

770
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 2: other way for a touchdown.

771
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 10: So and you better be careful than that too, because

772
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 10: jumping the quick route, but also with the long ball too.

773
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,280
Speaker 10: Maybe getting Michael Hard and Joran Pouri back there again,

774
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 10: well right.

775
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, that couldn't limit a lot of those deep balls

776
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 4: because they just didn't see those two guys back there

777
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 4: together last year, right, and they didn't see Trey White

778
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 4: last year.

779
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 2: Would you guys say the offensive line that has a

780
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 2: better game goes a long way to determining who wins

781
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 2: this football game? Because the Jets can roll people on

782
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 2: that pass rush group, they they can't.

783
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 4: They got it.

784
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 3: They're eight deep.

785
00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, they got a crew.

786
00:39:58,920 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 6: They do have a crew.

787
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 10: So does it come down to absolutely that's the point

788
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 10: that I'm going I.

789
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 4: Think that question here. One of the things about it

790
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 4: the Bills. I think the Bills offensive line is better

791
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 4: and maybe more proven as a group. It's also comes

792
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 4: down to the fact that the guy taking snaps, now,

793
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,240
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers is very nifty, very nifty in the pocket,

794
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 4: and he's got a lot of say he's a Hall

795
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 4: of Fame kind, he's got those abilities. But whether they

796
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 4: have a guy running free or not is not a

797
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 4: guarantee that you're gonna get Josh on the ground. So

798
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 4: Josh widens the margin there for the five guys up

799
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 4: front of him. Because you know we were talking yesterday,

800
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 4: I've seen Robert Sala as a defensive coordinator looking over there,

801
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 4: going I got nothing because they call the not just

802
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,399
Speaker 4: a good defense, the perfect defense, and it turns into

803
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 4: a touchdown against them. So whatever call you make, it

804
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 4: may not be good enough. That's Josh. Now you can

805
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,320
Speaker 4: make the same case about Aaron, but for different reasons.

806
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 4: Aaron's just out. Think you check off or get rid

807
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 4: of the football, make something out of nothing, Josh, roll

808
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 4: break into when you got the perfect call and go

809
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:08,720
Speaker 4: for a long That's hard. That's hard.

810
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 6: That's hard.

811
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 4: That's that means the Bills offensive lines margin of error

812
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 4: is much bigger, I think than the Jets.

813
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think, yeah, you're probably you're rightly correct about that. Yeah,

814
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 10: with Josh, and but Eric can still move around a

815
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 10: little bit.

816
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't see Aaron getting caught off guard. He

817
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 4: knows where everything's happening.

818
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 10: But I think another and we all we've been talking

819
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 10: offense like the entire time, but like for me, like

820
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 10: what is it going to be now? How is it

821
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 10: going to be in a different now that Sean McDermott

822
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,959
Speaker 10: is calling the place he's a head coach.

823
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 6: I mean, that's that's a lot. I think that is

824
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 6: a lot. There's a lot in this.

825
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 10: This is the first time he's been able obviously to

826
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,399
Speaker 10: do this, but having Lisa Fraser come in here from

827
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 10: the time that he's been here. But uh yeah, now

828
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 10: you have to really in Okay, is it best I

829
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 10: call it time out here? What do I do in

830
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 10: this situation on the defensive coordinator? But coach, I gotta

831
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 10: I think the staff is on top of that.

832
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 3: Interesting to see.

833
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 10: How they got his game flows, his game flows against

834
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 10: their offense.

835
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,439
Speaker 4: They got game mans, the guys that do that. They're

836
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 4: on that so Sean can concentrate on what he's doing,

837
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 4: because then they'll have some Hey, Sean, think about the

838
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 4: time out here that kind of They got guys on

839
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 4: them with voices in the headset that will tell him that.

840
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 4: But you're right, all right.

841
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 6: But I'm not going to bring it up.

Speaker 4: But go ahead, keep going right.

843
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 10: So that reminds me of one thing that you just

844
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 10: said about bringing it all back.

845
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 6: They have guys that do this and do that, right.

846
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 4: But they all do, every team. It's not just the

884

889

890
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 2: you right now. I was sitting in that chair going.

891
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 2: I've never missed Texas beef more than I do.

892
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 6: Right now, Fish and chips and salads.

893
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 10: Man, that's all you got to do in water, A

894
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 10: lot of water.

895
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:34,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean that's it.

896
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 3: Well, the London diet brought to you.

897
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 4: By the time try this next time you've over tried.

898
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 4: That's right. Get get a pint of Get a pint

899
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:47,720
Speaker 4: of bitters. That's okay.

900
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:50,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you go to the pubs, get be more

901
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 2: focused on what you're drinking that what's right. Uh So, Thermo,

902
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 2: give us your thoughts before we're done here on Monday night.

903
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,280
Speaker 2: All right, what are you expecting? Expecting a tight game throughout?

904
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 2: Or you're expecting a convincing Bills win, or I think

905
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 2: you're gonna be chewing your fingernails a little bit.

906
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 10: I think with both offenses and both defenses and special teams.

907
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:15,399
Speaker 10: I'm I'm expecting a close game, Okay. I'm I'm going

908
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 10: maybe like seventeen to thirteen bills Oh and low scoring too.

909
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 3: Okay, So you think the defense is gonna.

910
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 6: Is going to step up? Yeah, okay, I'm looking forward

911
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 6: to it.

912
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 2: Uh.

913
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 10: I think there's some questions obviously, We've talked about it

914
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 10: with the offensive line. So uh yeah, I'm going low scoring,

915
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,760
Speaker 10: low scoring football games cointeen thirteen bills.

916
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 2: Man, I think there's a lot of people, you know,

917
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 2: on the fringes, you know, the casual fans are like, oh,

918
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 2: Alan Rodgers might.

919
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 3: Have show here, right.

920
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's saying he's got he's got under he's under

921
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 2: thirty five points.

922
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 4: No, I think it's gonna be a like a six

923
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 4: point game, but it's gonna be high. I think it's

924
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 4: gonna be like, I think it's gonna be like thirty

925
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 4: three thirty something like that. I think both teams are

926
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 4: gonna get kind.

927
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 10: Of so we're going to be last in the defensive ranks,

928
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 10: so across the board after the first tea, I think

929
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 10: I'm on this too.

930
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:06,919
Speaker 4: I don't anticipate he's hard because you can't. You take

931
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 4: the turnovers and the penalties out of it, and I

932
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 4: just think it's gonna be that kind of I think

933
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 4: both these teams have too much offense and the league

934
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 4: is already tilted on the offensive side, that they're not

935
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 4: going to come out and surprise him with a little

936
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 4: bit a couple of explosive plays on you know, one

937
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 4: for each team, maybe two and two of the three

938
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 4: explosive plays game score, you know that kind of thing.

939
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be a high scoring game, high twenties.

940
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 3: Right in between both of you guys. I think it's

941
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 3: gonna be get twenty four to twenty three Bills.

942
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 4: No, I think it's gonna be high twenties to mid thirties.

943
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 4: Both teams, really, both teams.

944
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 6: I'm not going over.

945
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 10: I don't know if Jets, if I'm wanna move mine up,

946
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 10: I'm gonna go twenty six to twenty all right.

947
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:56,919
Speaker 4: So's I saw his team walk, He's going to thirty.

948
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 6: He's going to thirty eight.

949
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:00,080
Speaker 3: So I saw these Bills team.

950
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 4: Walk into LA a year ago and hang thirty one

951
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:04,360
Speaker 4: on the World Champions.

952
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 3: That's a different defense.

953
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,760
Speaker 4: They were much different crew. Aaron Donald was still playing

954
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 4: and they were healthy, uh, and there was a lot

955
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 4: of pressure on this offense, and they had a first

956
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 4: time offensive coordinator.

957
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 6: And the Rams didn't make the playoffs.

958
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 4: The Bills are a better offense today than they were then.

959
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 4: Jet defense is better than Rams offense was on that

960
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 4: day as well. I just think both these clubs are

961
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 4: going to hang some points up just because of the

962
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 4: newness of the year and the unknowns of the defenses

963
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 4: struggling to prepare for Well.

964
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 10: Tell you what I've been telling people all training camp

965
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:43,800
Speaker 10: belong is that I know, like, if you want to

966
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 10: have an MVP of his game, it's going to be

967
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 10: Aaron Rodgers or Josh Allen.

968
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm going for James Cook. I've been saying it.

969
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 3: I've been saying I've been picking the running back.

970
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 6: I've been saying it.

971
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 10: He was since I am, since since we shot, since

972
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 10: we got to you is day one. James Cook is

973
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 10: going to have an outstanding year.

974
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 4: I guarantee you the kid is ready to play. I am.

975
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 2: I am with you on that term because I said

976
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 2: it on on our weekly podcast, Bills by the Numbers.

977
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 2: The most improved position on this roster as the running back, Cook,

978
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 2: Harris Murray miles better than what they had their last year.

979
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 10: Absolutely, and those are big guys that Hey, if you

980
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 10: need that thirty one, you don't have to give it.

981
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 2: To Josh all the time quickly because we're up against

982
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 2: the break. Did you see enough of James Cook in

983
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 2: pass protection? Because I think he really proved himself in

984
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 2: past pro in camp and in the preseason.

985
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 6: This year.

986
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 3: Just your thoughts on that we're all.

987
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 6: Coming in through there and let them know and let

988
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 6: them know.

989
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 4: And I'll say this, to think about it. If you

990
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 4: if you'd had a brother on the other side of

991
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 4: the field wanting to play well.

992
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 2: Well, and there's think both those guys want there's a

993
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 2: revenge element here because let's not forget Week ten Bill's vikings.

994
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 2: Last year, Dalvin Cook was the one with the sixty

995
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 2: two yard or down the sideline, you got you best

996
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 2: best believe James wants to outperform his brother on national television.

997
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 4: So I think there's something to see what you're missing.

998
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 4: I am shocked that you picked a running back Thurman.

999
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:24,839
Speaker 3: Good to see you, Glad you're back with us.

1000

1021
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 2: Got open lines for you there, so give us a

1022
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 2: jingle if you want to chime in on that. We

1023
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 2: go back to the phones and waiting patiently. There is

1024
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 2: Mike and West Seneca.

1025
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 11: What do you got for his Mike, Hey, I got

1026
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 11: a couple of things. I'll say that Bernardo is gonna

1027
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 11: be the starter until Kurtsey is ready. Curtsey's gonna be

1028
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 11: the starter. Number two. The Kansas City Chiefs are not

1029
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,880
Speaker 11: gonna be as good as everybody thinks they're gonna be

1030
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 11: this year. I have a real strong feeling that something

1031
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:51,839
Speaker 11: is gonna happen to somebody there that is gonna change

1032
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 11: the way their season is. I don't know if it's Mahomes,

1033
00:52:56,680 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 11: don't know if it's Kelsey, but that something's gonna changed

1034
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:05,279
Speaker 11: their season. And I don't believe that they're gonna make

1035
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 11: the playoffs. Everybody's got them as as a Super Bowl favorite.

1036
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 11: I don't even think they're gonna make the playoffs this year.

1037
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:13,360
Speaker 4: Wow.

1038
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:16,319
Speaker 11: And as far as the Bills are concerned, I think

1039
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 11: you're gonna see a fourteen and three, fifteen and two team.

1040
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 11: They're gonna come out steaming, absolutely steaming. The only thing

1041
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 11: that's gonna stop them is two things. Number one, injuries.

1042
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:33,919
Speaker 7: And number two.

1043
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 11: Like I've said for the last two years, the only

1044
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 11: way the Bills get beat is if they beat themselves.

1045
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 11: And other than the Cincinnati game, every single game they

1046
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 11: played that they lost, they beat themselves. I'll hang up

1047
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:48,799
Speaker 11: and listen to your call.

1048
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right about that, Mike, and thanks for the call.

1049
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:54,879
Speaker 2: The three losses they had by a combined eight points

1050
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 2: in the regular season last year, they did beat themselves

1051
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 2: with turnovers this team, and that this team Steve had

1052
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 2: twenty seven takeaways as a defense with an injury riddled crew.

1053
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 2: Twenty seven takeaways. Yeah, the problem is they also had

1054
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 2: twenty seven turnovers. Their net takeaway differential was zero, and

1055
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 2: they still went thirteen and three.

1056
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 4: They had to work hard to get to even two

1057
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 4: because they were sub They were on the turnover deficit

1058
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:24,279
Speaker 4: for a large party.

1059
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 2: Wenty seven giveaways was second most in the league to

1060
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 2: only Houston last year.

1061
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:31,720
Speaker 4: And the self harm. You can even the first Jet

1062
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,839
Speaker 4: game where you know, the Jet fans will go, hey,

1063
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 4: Zach Wilson beat you guys. Well, actually, Josh turned it

1064
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 4: over in their end, and then they turned it over

1065
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 4: in his end, so he not only took points off

1066
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 4: the Bill's side of the ledger, later on he gave

1067
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 4: them a chance to you know, to kick a field

1068
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:48,319
Speaker 4: goal or whatever. That was a three point game. So

1069
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 4: the Bills beat themselves with turnovers in that game in particular.

1070
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 4: And the don't get me started on the Vikings game

1071
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 4: about the self harm, about the self harm they did

1072
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 4: to themselves there, oh my gosh. And then you know,

1073
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 4: the Miami game is what it is. It was a

1074
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 4: it was a boiling point, a game where the Bills

1075
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 4: just melted in the heat that you know, they they

1076
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 4: couldn't keep it together. They just wilted in the in

1077
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 4: the sun. They had they had the ball for like

1078
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 4: thirty nine or forty minutes of the game. They controlled

1079
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 4: play offensively. The Dolphins couldn't get them off the field,

1080
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:30,839
Speaker 4: even though the Bills had nobody who could even stand upright. So, yeah,

1081
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 4: self hard, you're right. The Bills are that team that

1082
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 4: you had. You can't you can't beat them without them

1083
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 4: helping you. It looked like last year. Yeah, certainly the

1084
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:44,280
Speaker 4: Bengals were a different story.

1085
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 3: There.

1086
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 4: They were on a roll and they were hitted. They

1087
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,279
Speaker 4: were humming when they played the Bills, and you got

1088
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 4: to take your hat off to those guys. You can

1089
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 4: say that that's fine. They they were humming and they

1090
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 4: deserved the wins they got. So even if you give

1091
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 4: them that Monday night game. So that's where the Bills

1092
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 4: have been for two straight years, three straight years years.

1093
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:10,359
Speaker 4: You don't beat them by double digits. It's a nail

1094
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 4: bier down to the end. If you're gonna win that game,

1095
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 4: and if you're not doing that, you're getting your head

1096
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:19,879
Speaker 4: handed to you. The Bills don't go away at any

1097
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 4: point in the game. They are hard, they are hard

1098
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 4: to get a lead on, and the Jets will find

1099
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 4: that out. It's gonna be that. It's gonna be that

1100
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 4: way this week. So if the Bills lose this game,

1101
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 4: you can bet it's gonna be by less than a

1102
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 4: possession and it's gonna be a hard fought game throughout.

1103
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:39,720
Speaker 4: There's been like one game, one game in three years.

1104
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 4: I think it was an Indianapolis game here and it

1105
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 4: was after the Bills had put them out of the

1106
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:48,279
Speaker 4: playoffs with Philip Rivers the year before. They came in

1107
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 4: here and they had a Hail Mary, you know, and

1108
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:53,320
Speaker 4: it was after the Hail Murray play early in the season.

1109
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:55,799
Speaker 4: The Bills wouldn't let another Hail Mary get them. They

1110
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,319
Speaker 4: knocked it down, won the game in the playoff game,

1111
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:01,520
Speaker 4: and the Holts come in the next year with a

1112
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:04,319
Speaker 4: huge chip on their shoulder remembering that's how their season ended,

1113
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:05,759
Speaker 4: and they got the Bills pretty good.

1114
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:06,919
Speaker 3: That's it.

1115
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 4: That's the game that was decided by what ten points

1116
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 4: something like that?

1117
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 3: Was it forty one? Sixteen?

1118
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, okay, yeah, So that's the only time when

1119
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 4: the Bills actually got their got their head head handed

1120
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 4: to them. So you're right. Over the last three years,

1121
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 4: this team, I mean, you've got it. You're it's a

1122
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 4: nail bighter down to the end if you can beat

1123
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 4: them and then you need them to help you. So

1124
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 4: without some without some turnovers and some fumbles by the Bills,

1125
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 4: they're a tough out. They are really really tough out.

1126
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:47,760
Speaker 4: So there's a lot in that what Mike from West

1127
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 4: Seneca just said. And this about Kansas City, Okay, you

1128
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 4: can put Yeah, you're predicting a lightning strike basically, So

1129
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:56,720
Speaker 4: good luck to you.

1130
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:02,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look, we saw the Bills encounter an

1131
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 2: untold amount of adversity last year. I mean, it was ridiculous,

1132
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 2: the laundry list that got thrown in their face. They

1133
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 2: still went thirteen in three and they still won a

1134
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 2: playoff game despite all of that. It's gonna be very

1135
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 2: interested to see what the Philadelphia Eagles can muster now

1136
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 2: that they a don't have an easy schedule, b lost

1137
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 2: a couple of pieces, and c have the second toughest

1138
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 2: schedule in football this year. Actually, they have the toughest

1139
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 2: schedule in football this year. They're playing the AFC East.

1140
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 2: They're playing their own division, and they're playing a first

1141
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 2: place schedule. Let's see how that goes. Because the Bills

1142
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 2: have played a first play schedule each of the last

1143
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 2: two years and still won double digit games. Let's see

1144
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 2: the Eagles do that. Then you can come talk to

1145
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 2: me about how great they are.

1146
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 4: Ok And they are talented there.

1147
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 3: They're a great team. They're a top three roster in football.

1148
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 4: But they're in a soft They're in a let's see

1149
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 4: what it's a little harder. They're in a soft division,

1150
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 4: in a soft.

1151
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 2: Conference, not in a soft division. NFC East is pretty good.

1152
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 2: Cowboys are a good football team. Giants are a good

1153
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 2: football team. Giants, they both made it to the I

1154
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 2: think they're a good football team. I think they could

1155
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 2: make the playoffs.

1156
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 4: Ayet Okay football team Washington.

1157
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 3: Let's see if.

1158
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones can throw more than fifteen touchdown passes. They

1159
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 2: made it to the playoffs despite Daniel Jones throwing fifteen

1160
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 2: touchdown passes.

1161
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 4: I think sometimes I love Dabes, but they're not a

1162
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 4: great football team. Okay, they're not a great foot.

1163
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 3: I don't know if I call their division soft though.

1164
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 4: Not in comparison to the South NFC South. No, but

1165
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 4: their conference is soft.

1166
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 3: Their conference is soft.

1167
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 4: Agree? They got Dak, Daniel Jones, the guy from what

1168
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 4: the guy from some guy from Washington?

1169
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 3: Sam Howell?

1170
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 4: Right? And then who's the other? Who's the other?

1171
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 3: Even who's the Matthews, Stafford.

1172
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:51,920
Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts. So I got Jalen Hurts, Dak Prescott, Daniel Jones,

1173
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 4: and a guy Sam Howell? Is that right?

1174
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 3: Sam Howell?

1175
00:59:57,360 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 4: Okay? The Bills have got air Rogers to Josh and

1176
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 4: Mat and Mac. Okay.

1177
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if i'd call it soft. I think

1178
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 2: it's a talented division. The quarterback caliber is not there.

1179
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 2: I will give you that. Let's go back to the phones, though,

1180
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 2: because we're talking Terrell Bernard as your starting middle linebacker

1181
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 2: and what your expectations are for the second year product

1182
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 2: out of Baylor.

1183
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 3: We go to Tom in Lakawana, X. What do you got

1184
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 3: for us?

1185
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 12: Tom?

1186
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 2: Good?

1187
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 7: Afternoon, guys. Before I get to Bernard. Two quick things.

1188
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:42,280
Speaker 7: One I don't understand. I'm not familiar with terminating contracts.

1189
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 7: Can Barkley sign with the same team again or is

1190
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 7: he restricted since we terminated him to signing with the buildings.

1191
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was.

1192
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 2: He was put on IR prior to the establishment of

1193
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 2: the fifty three man rosters. So what would have to

1194
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 2: take place there is they would have to reach an

1195
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 2: injury set with him and then he would be a

1196
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 2: free agent. But because he was previously with the Bills,

1197
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 2: I'll have to look it up because I don't remember

1198
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 2: the exact length of time, but there would have to

1199
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 2: be a period of time before he could be eligible

1200
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 2: to sign back with the team with whom he reached

1201
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 2: an injury settlement, that of course being the Bills. He

1202
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 2: could sign with anybody else immediately upon passing a physical,

1203
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 2: but in terms of coming back to the Bills, there

1204
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 2: is a period of time there that he would have

1205
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 2: to wait. Because the reason that's in place, Tom is

1206
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 2: to avoid or to prevent teams from using IR as

1207
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 2: a clearinghouse to hide people.

1208
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 3: So before the.

1209
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 2: Fifty fear men roster is set, you put a guy

1210
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 2: on IR and then all of a sudden you can

1211
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 2: sign him back to your roster.

1212
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 3: What the heck is that?

1213
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:55,320
Speaker 2: So it's an exercise to keep teams from using IR

1214
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 2: as a way to circumvent the roster he strict.

1215
01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 4: Well, here's what happens, though, as soon as the Bills

1216
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 4: could outright release him and then sign him back, but

1217
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 4: he would have to be a free agent first, which

1218
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 4: means he could call and talk to anybody. So that's

1219
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:13,280
Speaker 4: what would have to happen, even with or without the

1220
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 4: injury settlement. The Bills would have to release him outright

1221
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 4: and then sign him back. And he understands too that

1222
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:22,080
Speaker 4: if the Bills are going to release him outright, he's

1223
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 4: a free agent, so he could call another team and

1224
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:26,520
Speaker 4: want if he wanted to get a better deal or whatever.

1225
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 4: That's unlikely to happen because he'd probably take the deal

1226
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:33,919
Speaker 4: the Bills are offering offering, because that's why they would

1227
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 4: be cutting him right. He would have to agree to that.

1228
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:42,920
Speaker 4: So that's the way that works. He would to be

1229
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 4: signed back by the Bills. He would have to be

1230
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 4: an unfettered free agent for at least twenty four hours,

1231
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 4: and then once that happened, he could sign back with

1232
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:53,640
Speaker 4: the Bills. That's the that's the way I understand the rules.

1233
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 2: There's a period of time. Though he can't come back

1234
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 2: immediately after an injury settlement, there is a period of

1235
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 2: times that he had to wait to come back to

1236
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:05,280
Speaker 2: the team that he was on IR with an injury settled.

1237
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 4: With there's a if he's a free agent, yes.

1238
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:13,440
Speaker 2: That you have to wait because otherwise then a team

1239
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 2: like the Bills is being accused.

1240
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:16,960
Speaker 3: Of nefarious practices.

1241
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:19,520
Speaker 2: Oh, you just put him on IR so nobody else

1242
01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 2: could sign him, and then when he's a free agent,

1243
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,439
Speaker 2: he had a handshake agreement with you to come back

1244
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 2: right away. And I just remember that happening a few

1245
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 2: years back with a player that went on IR before

1246
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,840
Speaker 2: the fifty three man roster was set, signed signs an

1247
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:35,840
Speaker 2: injury settlement with the Bills, but then could not come

1248
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 2: back to the Bills until like the last four weeks

1249
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:38,160
Speaker 2: of the season.

1250
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 3: It was like a ten week or an eight week thing.

1251
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 2: I can't remember the exact period of time. I'll try

1252
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 2: to look it up when we're up against the break.

1253
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:49,880
Speaker 2: But there's this restriction in there because otherwise team could

1254
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:52,440
Speaker 2: put five guys on injured reserve before they set the

1255
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 2: fifty three man roster. Oh he's out for the season.

1256
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:56,680
Speaker 2: Oh wait, we're gonna sign him to an injury settlement.

1257
01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 2: Oh wait, he's healthy. Oh oh, let's put it back

1258
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:01,960
Speaker 2: on the roster. What like that's why that period of

1259
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:03,439
Speaker 2: time is in place to go back to the team

1260
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 2: you were originally with. So I'll have to look it

1261
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 2: up and see if I can find when how long

1262
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 2: a period of.

1263
01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:11,720
Speaker 3: Time that is he can revert back to the Bills.

1264
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:15,600
Speaker 2: But there's a time element that's part of that practice

1265
01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 2: for that very reason, So teams can hide players on

1266
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:20,560
Speaker 2: ir and then injury settle them and bring them.

1267
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 4: Back to the roster.

1268
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 3: So that's why that is in place.

1269
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:29,640
Speaker 2: Steve, tell me, talk to me about the adjustment that

1270
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 2: Terrell Bernard is going to have to make.

1271
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:32,880
Speaker 3: At the very least.

1272
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 2: In the first couple of series on defense, did not

1273
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:38,640
Speaker 2: play in a preseason game. We hear all the time

1274
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 2: the jumping speed from training camp practice to preseason game,

1275
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 2: from preseason game to regular season game. The adrenaline's going

1276
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 2: to be flowing, The speed's going to be going one

1277
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 2: hundred miles an hour. Second year player, limited time on

1278
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 2: the field in the regular season on defense, how long

1279
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 2: does it take him to literally get up to speed,

1280
01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:02,080
Speaker 2: especially knowing he's calling the defense and making pre snapchecks.

1281
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:04,560
Speaker 4: It won't be long. He's this is not a first

1282
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 4: year guy, this is a second year guy. I'll say

1283
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:10,000
Speaker 4: this though. What will happen is because it's you know,

1284
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:12,280
Speaker 4: it's that opening it. He'll come off the field after

1285
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:15,920
Speaker 4: about two or three plays. He'll feel like he he

1286
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:19,360
Speaker 4: can't even breathe because you're adrenaline kicks in and you

1287
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 4: just go so fast your energy and stuff, and then

1288
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:24,520
Speaker 4: you get so tired so fast you can't learn to

1289
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:29,520
Speaker 4: pace yourself and to you get you just done. I

1290
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:31,880
Speaker 4: remember it happened to me when I got in the

1291
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:34,440
Speaker 4: on the field as a wide receiver after never playing

1292
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 4: wide receiver. You practice wide receiver for six days a

1293
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:39,280
Speaker 4: week and cover kicks on Sunday. I got a chance

1294
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:41,840
Speaker 4: to play wide receiver for an extended driver, you know,

1295
01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 4: a half or something. I thought I was gonna die

1296
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:47,240
Speaker 4: like I had never run a step before and I

1297
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 4: was out of shape. You you just lose your win.

1298
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 4: So I think his adrenaline is gonna have some effect

1299
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:56,000
Speaker 4: on him. He's gonna be really dead tired for a

1300
01:05:56,040 --> 01:05:58,720
Speaker 4: stretch until he learns like, okay, I's got to relax

1301
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 4: and then he can play. That'll be as big an

1302
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 4: adjustment as anything that may be the issue. I think

1303
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:10,320
Speaker 4: between his ears, he'll be fine. The football is gonna

1304
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 4: come to him fast because he's not it's not gonna

1305
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 4: be a foreign thing to him. But the physicality and

1306
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:18,720
Speaker 4: the fact that he's going to be in there like

1307
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:21,040
Speaker 4: opening day, let's go, and then he hasn't been playing.

1308
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 4: I think the adrenaline is gonna be as much of

1309
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:25,400
Speaker 4: a problem as anything, because once you come down off

1310
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 4: that adrenaline, you feel like you've you know, you've run

1311
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:32,200
Speaker 4: a marathon and it's been five minutes a game time

1312
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:34,240
Speaker 4: and you still have fifty five minutes to go. Is

1313
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 4: that kind of thing right? Okay, So it takes you

1314
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 4: a minute to recover him that that's an issue. I

1315
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 4: think that I've seen players have you get out there

1316
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:43,440
Speaker 4: and you're like off your rocker, you're so.

1317
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 3: Geeked, especially in an atmosphere like we're expect.

1318
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:50,080
Speaker 4: Night five plays into this, he's gonna feel like he's

1319
01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 4: never played it down a football and he's out of shape.

1320
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:54,880
Speaker 4: And then you know, after a minute, it'll be okay again.

1321
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:58,840
Speaker 4: It'll just take him a minute to Yeah, I think

1322
01:06:58,840 --> 01:06:59,960
Speaker 4: that's what he's gonna forget about.

1323
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 2: Let's get some initial thoughts on the tweet sheet from you.

1324
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:05,480
Speaker 2: Tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the

1325
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:09,080
Speaker 2: official equipment moving system of the Buffalo Bills. Carl says,

1326
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:12,760
Speaker 2: I personally think it's the right choice for middle linebacker.

1327
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:16,440
Speaker 2: Tyrrel Dotson is pretty limited with his upside. Bernard's upside

1328
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:19,560
Speaker 2: is untapped thus far. I think it's more important to

1329
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:23,520
Speaker 2: have two cover linebackers. Okay, some good thoughts on that.

1330
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:27,920
Speaker 2: Carl Seth says, I expect that he'll struggle against the run,

1331
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 2: and Rogers will probably make him look silly a couple

1332
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 2: of times with passes over the middle, but I think

1333
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:36,960
Speaker 2: he'll make enough plays to get the job done. Kirksey

1334
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:40,800
Speaker 2: should probably get the NOD as soon as he's up

1335
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 2: to speed.

1336
01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:44,360
Speaker 3: So that's the second person today.

1337
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:47,120
Speaker 2: We had a caller earlier and now a tweeter basically

1338
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:50,840
Speaker 2: already expecting the veteran Christian Kirksey, who was on the

1339
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:54,200
Speaker 2: practice squad, signed to the team last week. Leading tackler

1340
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 2: for the Houston Texans last season. They expect him to

1341
01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:01,040
Speaker 2: be up on the active roster sooner rather than later.

1342
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:03,480
Speaker 2: I will tell you I believe he's an insurance policy.

1343
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 2: I think they're going to give to real Bernard time

1344
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:09,880
Speaker 2: to swim here, and unless he is a major liability.

1345
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:12,320
Speaker 2: I think he gets some rope here to stay in

1346
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 2: the lineup.

1347
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:19,519
Speaker 4: Unless they unless the defense, unless they're missing something from him,

1348
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:22,599
Speaker 4: which we'll never know. Unless it's obvious, they pull him

1349
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 4: right out of the game. Uh, don't forget. Donson's out

1350
01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:26,880
Speaker 4: there as well. He's gonna be on the roster. He's

1351
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:28,720
Speaker 4: gonna be out there playing. So they'll have a guy there.

1352
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 3: He'll be dressed.

1353
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:34,760
Speaker 4: He'll be dressed and ready, as will who you know,

1354
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:37,479
Speaker 4: the other guys they have Dorian Williams and and Milano

1355
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:39,040
Speaker 4: and all those guys are going to be out there,

1356
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 4: so they'll have enough guys. They'll have, yeah, Tyler, they'll

1357
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:43,439
Speaker 4: have guys who know how to line up and do

1358
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:47,600
Speaker 4: all that. But I think the only way you'll know

1359
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:49,479
Speaker 4: that it's going terribly wrong is if he's off the

1360
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:50,799
Speaker 4: field quickly.

1361
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:54,519
Speaker 2: Time to go to the post practice podium. One Josh

1362
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:55,880
Speaker 2: Allen is addressing the media.

1363
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:56,800
Speaker 3: Let's go there.

1364
01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 4: Now.

1365
01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:00,960
Speaker 2: You agree that this defense gave you there'll be more

1366
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:02,800
Speaker 2: problems than any defense you saw all year.

1367
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:06,639
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean they're they're they're pretty pretty good group,

1368
01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 13: really good group for that matter.

1369
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:11,559
Speaker 12: They got rushers that have motors.

1370
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 13: They they sub those guys in and out, so they're fresh,

1371
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 13: their dbs are smart. I know number one he's a

1372
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:20,160
Speaker 13: he's a great player, he's a he gets a lot

1373
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 13: of credit. I think number four is also pretty dang good.

1374
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:26,760
Speaker 13: So yeah, they they've game planned pretty well for us

1375
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:29,479
Speaker 13: the last couple of times we've played them, you know,

1376
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:31,719
Speaker 13: and you know we're in our hands will come Monday

1377
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:33,719
Speaker 13: night if.

1378
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:36,920
Speaker 2: You could per son age wise, are they demand his zone?

1379
01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:40,120
Speaker 3: What do you think the ratio typically has been to jew.

1380
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:42,840
Speaker 12: Face manner zone.

1381
01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:46,679
Speaker 13: I mean, I think they're they're pretty heavy zone team

1382
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:48,880
Speaker 13: with they show on tape, but they showed against us

1383
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:50,840
Speaker 13: and obviously third down they like to get up there

1384
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:53,280
Speaker 13: and put their hands on and play some man. Now,

1385
01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:55,639
Speaker 13: if that's something they want to continue to do, we'll

1386
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:57,040
Speaker 13: find out. But if they want to switch it up

1387
01:09:57,240 --> 01:09:58,800
Speaker 13: again early on in the game, I think we'll get

1388
01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:01,559
Speaker 13: a good sense of how they're playing us and then

1389
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:02,920
Speaker 13: try to adjust accordingly.

1390
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 14: This last season, like, do you watch a lot of it?

1391
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:10,439
Speaker 12: Do you like what you think they're gonna do?

1392
01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:13,519
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean definitely watching a lot of it and

1393
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:15,599
Speaker 13: just spoil it down to kind of some some really

1394
01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:17,680
Speaker 13: dumb decisions on my part and making sure that I'm

1395
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:20,559
Speaker 13: trusting the ten guys around me and not putting the

1396
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:21,960
Speaker 13: ball in harm's way. At the end of the day,

1397
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:25,479
Speaker 13: you know, we're our goals to go one to oh,

1398
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:28,840
Speaker 13: and it starts with starts with the ball, taking care

1399
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:30,679
Speaker 13: of the football and making sure that we're not giving

1400
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:34,559
Speaker 13: them short fields and giving them good possessions, you know,

1401
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:37,160
Speaker 13: making sure that we're trying to end every drive and

1402
01:10:37,240 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 13: a kick, whether it's a field goal, pat or a punt, you.

1403
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:45,599
Speaker 4: Know, prime time, high exposure games like that. How much

1404
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:47,600
Speaker 4: just that experience as you kind of look back on

1405
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:50,360
Speaker 4: and care for this one kind of benefit you and maybe.

1406
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:52,640
Speaker 13: Your Yeah, and I think the only benefit really is

1407
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:56,720
Speaker 13: the routine throughout the day. Obviously, Mondays are different than

1408
01:10:56,720 --> 01:11:00,400
Speaker 13: Sunday nights. There's no games on. It's a lot of

1409
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:04,559
Speaker 13: making sure that you're staying focused throughout the day, typically

1410
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:07,320
Speaker 13: a walk through early in the day, and making sure

1411
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:10,240
Speaker 13: that you're getting your your rest and prime yourself to

1412
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:13,640
Speaker 13: get ready to go late Monday night. That's really all

1413
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:15,559
Speaker 13: it is. It's still football at the end of the day.

1414
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:21,280
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers and your competition against.

1415
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:27,200
Speaker 12: Them, no words, they know. I'm sure we'll talk before game.

1416
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:29,840
Speaker 13: You know, like I said, I'm such a big fan

1417
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:31,840
Speaker 13: of his game, and it's been been for a very

1418
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:34,320
Speaker 13: long time. I grew up watching him and wanting to

1419
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:36,040
Speaker 13: be like him on the football field. So it's still

1420
01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:38,479
Speaker 13: surreal feeling to be playing against someone like them, but

1421
01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:41,559
Speaker 13: but also having a relationship with him, And you know,

1422
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:43,960
Speaker 13: it's crazy for.

1423
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:45,360
Speaker 6: This division to happen Aaron Rodgers.

1424
01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:50,680
Speaker 13: Well, it makes a really tough division even tougher. You know,

1425
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:56,080
Speaker 13: you look across the teams in this league. There's a

1426
01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:57,559
Speaker 13: lot of talent. A lot of talent in this league

1427
01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:00,639
Speaker 13: and a lot of talent in this division, I should say,

1428
01:12:00,680 --> 01:12:02,760
Speaker 13: so each and every time we played, it's gonna be a

1429
01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:03,439
Speaker 13: dogfighting again.

1430
01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:04,200
Speaker 12: This is division.

1431
01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:08,120
Speaker 13: Games are tough because you see everybody twice and game

1432
01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:09,920
Speaker 13: planning is a little bit different. They feel like they

1433
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:11,639
Speaker 13: got us out of them. We feel like they've we've

1434
01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:14,439
Speaker 13: got them dialed in. So it's a lot of pushing pool,

1435
01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:17,720
Speaker 13: especially especially the second one. But you know, the first

1436
01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:19,240
Speaker 13: one is the only one that matters right.

1437
01:12:19,120 --> 01:12:23,240
Speaker 4: Now, and obviously you're you know, you face their defense.

1438
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:26,320
Speaker 4: But a future Hall of Fame quarterback back like that,

1439
01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:28,599
Speaker 4: what dimension does he add to a young and really

1440
01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:29,920
Speaker 4: up and coming team.

1441
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 13: I mean, again, just experience, like you talked about it,

1442
01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:37,640
Speaker 13: the leadership qualities that he has. He's a he's a

1443
01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:41,479
Speaker 13: damn good football player. You know, anytime you add good

1444
01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:44,360
Speaker 13: talent to a team, especially at the quarterback position, you're

1445
01:12:44,360 --> 01:12:47,719
Speaker 13: gonna tend to have success. But again, it's just making

1446
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:49,840
Speaker 13: sure that we're we're doing our end on our part

1447
01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:51,599
Speaker 13: of the ball and not giving them, like I said,

1448
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:54,519
Speaker 13: some some good field position and letting our defense go

1449
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:56,000
Speaker 13: out there and play free.

1450
01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:06,680
Speaker 15: Conversations about the expectations this season being yeah, I mean,

1451
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:09,360
Speaker 15: I think as captains, we've we've developed a pretty good

1452
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:13,120
Speaker 15: what we think is a good plan on how to

1453
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:15,120
Speaker 15: talk to guys and making sure that the messaging that

1454
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:18,080
Speaker 15: we're given to each and everybody in the team is is.

1455
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:21,360
Speaker 13: Concise and is on par for what the captains want

1456
01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:24,320
Speaker 13: and what what our head coach and our GM wants,

1457
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:27,760
Speaker 13: and really what this fan base wants and and so deserves.

1458
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:30,920
Speaker 13: You know, it's no secrets everybody's goal to go out

1459
01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:33,479
Speaker 13: there and win a Super Bowl and it's no different

1460
01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:36,240
Speaker 13: than us. But we're we're also so focused and committed

1461
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:43,760
Speaker 13: on taking it one game at a time. Yeah, I

1462
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:47,200
Speaker 13: think it's slightly different, and again just making sure that

1463
01:13:49,040 --> 01:13:50,800
Speaker 13: the cat Like I said, the captains have have talked

1464
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:53,080
Speaker 13: quite a bit and we feel like what we're what

1465
01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:57,080
Speaker 13: we're saying, how we're saying it, it's important, but it's

1466
01:13:57,160 --> 01:13:58,920
Speaker 13: it's the right way to get it done. And having

1467
01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 13: guys in locker like von Miller who've done it. You know,

1468
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:03,920
Speaker 13: he's been such a great asset to this team. I

1469
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:08,160
Speaker 13: know he's not back yet, but just the mental aptitude

1470
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:10,960
Speaker 13: and presence that he has for this team is so

1471
01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:12,800
Speaker 13: big for us. Having guys like Micah and Poe who

1472
01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:15,600
Speaker 13: have been here for a long time and relying on

1473
01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:17,800
Speaker 13: those guys and making sure we're having those tough talks

1474
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:19,840
Speaker 13: that again, we want to win a Super Bowl, how

1475
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:22,040
Speaker 13: do we get it done? And being open and honest

1476
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:24,600
Speaker 13: with each other and that's what we've done, and you

1477
01:14:24,640 --> 01:14:25,840
Speaker 13: know that's what we're trying to do.

1478
01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:28,920
Speaker 10: Specific reason like why do you think it's like what

1479
01:14:29,240 --> 01:14:31,600
Speaker 10: is different this year about the messaging? Is it you know,

1480
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:34,360
Speaker 10: Micah Jordan, these guys are getting older and you know,

1481
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:36,160
Speaker 10: is it like there's good pressure on this year?

1482
01:14:36,240 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 4: What do you think why is it different this year?

1483
01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:41,400
Speaker 13: And I'd like to keep a lot of that internal.

1484
01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:44,599
Speaker 13: I wouldn't say there's more pressure though, I think it's

1485
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:46,040
Speaker 13: the right amount of pressure.

1486
01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:48,320
Speaker 6: Awareness within the team.

1487
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:51,160
Speaker 12: Every Monday night game is a big, big deal.

1488
01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:54,200
Speaker 14: But you're going into it's a season opener in New

1489
01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:55,719
Speaker 14: York Hot nine eleven.

1490
01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:58,639
Speaker 6: They've got a very new, exciting team.

1491
01:14:58,720 --> 01:15:00,960
Speaker 12: Is there an awareness in this team and what you're

1492
01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:02,040
Speaker 12: stepping into that night?

1493
01:15:03,439 --> 01:15:06,560
Speaker 13: I think I think we understand it. Again, at the

1494
01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:08,840
Speaker 13: end of the day, it's football. You know, it's our

1495
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:11,400
Speaker 13: fifty three versus their fifty three, and you know, whoever

1496
01:15:11,400 --> 01:15:14,040
Speaker 13: plays the best on Monday Night's gonna win. So uh,

1497
01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:18,240
Speaker 13: it's it's no doubt that the feeling on game day

1498
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:22,439
Speaker 13: within the stadium, the juice that those fans are gonna

1499
01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:23,759
Speaker 13: have on such.

1500
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:25,040
Speaker 12: A special day.

1501
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:27,799
Speaker 13: And you know, having a first ballot Hall of Famers

1502
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:30,120
Speaker 13: take take that his first real snaps for a team,

1503
01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:33,719
Speaker 13: I know that they're excited for that. So that's why

1504
01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:35,920
Speaker 13: and where we need to rely on our captains and

1505
01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:38,680
Speaker 13: and our leadership and experience, uh, to make sure that

1506
01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:41,120
Speaker 13: we're staying calm and ready and focus to play game.

1507
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:43,920
Speaker 4: What's up, Mitch Mors to your career?

1508
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:45,560
Speaker 6: I know he's one of the gappens that you're just

1509
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:46,360
Speaker 6: talking about there.

1510
01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 12: Yeah, he's he's freaking awesome.

1511
01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:50,479
Speaker 13: Man. I can't say enough good things about him in

1512
01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:53,040
Speaker 13: the locker room, he is, He's just the best dude.

1513
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:56,040
Speaker 13: And then you turn on the tape. He's doing everything right.

1514
01:15:56,479 --> 01:15:59,479
Speaker 13: He obviously makes all the calls for us. He's busting

1515
01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:01,519
Speaker 13: his butt to go pick pick a running back or

1516
01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:04,479
Speaker 13: receiver up off the ground. You know, he leads by example,

1517
01:16:04,479 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 13: and that's exactly what you would want from your center.

1518
01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:06,479
Speaker 7: You know.

1519
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:08,720
Speaker 13: He's he's cool, calm and collected on game days too,

1520
01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:12,280
Speaker 13: which makes it that much easier for me. And we

1521
01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:14,559
Speaker 13: were able to talk and we've got a really good

1522
01:16:14,560 --> 01:16:18,919
Speaker 13: relationship and I do anything for that guy play Rogers.

1523
01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:20,720
Speaker 3: You know, as you mentioned looking up to hit him.

1524
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:23,839
Speaker 14: What is it about his game that you've tried to

1525
01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:26,160
Speaker 14: take away yourself and maybe emulator with him?

1526
01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:29,760
Speaker 13: Well, I think you know how he throws off platform.

1527
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:31,519
Speaker 13: He's got a little bit of a foot pop in

1528
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:33,800
Speaker 13: his left foot when he throws, and I've tried to

1529
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:35,559
Speaker 13: incorporate that a little bit into my game a couple

1530
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:36,679
Speaker 13: of years ago and it's helped out.

1531
01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:37,400
Speaker 12: Tremendously and.

1532
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:41,360
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean there's there's I could say, probably a

1533
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:43,200
Speaker 13: lot more, but don't want to give him too much credit.

1534
01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:47,960
Speaker 4: You know, did you watch any of Hard Knocks?

1535
01:16:48,160 --> 01:16:50,120
Speaker 13: I didn't, I actually did. I saw some clips on

1536
01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:55,000
Speaker 13: on Twitter. I didn't watch anything on HBO, but maybe

1537
01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 13: i'll maybe I'll turn it on.

1538
01:16:56,760 --> 01:17:00,320
Speaker 11: Josh Cyrus Horrens is going to get the start at guard.

1539
01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:06,679
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean he's he's a big, strong, big strong man.

1540
01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:10,599
Speaker 13: You know, doesn't seem like a rookie.

1541
01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:10,960
Speaker 12: He doesn't.

1542
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:13,720
Speaker 13: He doesn't talk too much, but he communicates very well

1543
01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:16,760
Speaker 13: the offensive line. When he gets his hands on defenders,

1544
01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:19,439
Speaker 13: he does such a good job, so I don't think

1545
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:22,320
Speaker 13: anything's too big for him. Obviously played at a big

1546
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 13: school and he's been in big environments and atmospheres before,

1547
01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:28,439
Speaker 13: so you know, it's going out there and making sure

1548
01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:31,280
Speaker 13: that we're communicating well. And you know, when we're all

1549
01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:32,760
Speaker 13: in the field, it't it doesn't matter if you're a

1550
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:35,599
Speaker 13: rookie or a ten year like, everybody's got to got

1551
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:38,360
Speaker 13: to work together to to work for a good outcome.

1552
01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:41,240

1578
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:14,240
Speaker 2: I don't.

1579
01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:14,519
Speaker 6: I didn't.

1580
01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:16,760
Speaker 9: I didn't have no pride either way it went. Of course,

1581
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:21,000
Speaker 9: I wanted to play. I mean that's you know, that's

1582
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:21,960
Speaker 9: why I'm a football player.

1583
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:22,599
Speaker 6: I wanted to play.

1584
01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:26,200
Speaker 9: But you know, like I said, I I was working

1585
01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:29,120
Speaker 9: in Brundon and uh doing everything I possibly could physically.

1586
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:31,880
Speaker 6: You know, I didn't have no pride either way it go.

1587
01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:35,160
Speaker 9: Uh the ultimate goal is is to is to get

1588
01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:38,000
Speaker 9: to the playoffs and have success deep into the playoffs

1589
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:40,240
Speaker 9: and ultimately win the Super Bowl. So I didn't have

1590
01:19:40,280 --> 01:19:42,840
Speaker 9: any pride either way it went. I just, uh, you know,

1591
01:19:42,960 --> 01:19:44,720
Speaker 9: I was. I was able to uphold my end of

1592
01:19:44,720 --> 01:19:48,160
Speaker 9: the bargain and and have my knee cleared and ready

1593
01:19:48,200 --> 01:19:50,679
Speaker 9: to go, which my knee. I got my knee cleared

1594
01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:54,560
Speaker 9: by doctor Cooper two days before the pup uh deadline.

1595
01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:58,280
Speaker 9: But you know, like I said, it's it wasn't enough

1596
01:19:58,280 --> 01:20:03,240
Speaker 9: time for football. He was ready to go, but it

1597
01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:05,600
Speaker 9: wasn't enough time to get ready to play football in

1598
01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:08,080
Speaker 9: the NFL. And you know, like I said, like I said,

1599
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:09,719
Speaker 9: ultimately it it wasn't my decision.

1600
01:20:09,760 --> 01:20:11,680
Speaker 6: And you know, I didn't have no pride either way

1601
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:12,120
Speaker 6: either way.

1602
01:20:12,120 --> 01:20:14,519
Speaker 9: I went, I I wanna win, and I'm I'm willing

1603
01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:19,160
Speaker 9: to do it, do whatever it takes to win. Now,

1604
01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:22,439
Speaker 9: my my knee was UH cleared and ready for play

1605
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:25,360
Speaker 9: and ready for and ready for contact from UH from

1606
01:20:25,400 --> 01:20:27,680
Speaker 9: doctor Cooper. There's still a whole list of things that

1607
01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:30,959
Speaker 9: you have to do to get to pads and and

1608
01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:34,400
Speaker 9: and shoulder pads and and helmets and running around and

1609
01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:36,559
Speaker 9: one on one pass rush and all those things. So

1610
01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:40,599
Speaker 9: I was very conscious of those things. Brenda bean was

1611
01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:43,120
Speaker 9: was very conscious of those things as as well. And

1612
01:20:44,040 --> 01:20:45,559
Speaker 9: like I said, I didn't have any pride either way.

1613
01:20:45,560 --> 01:20:47,599
Speaker 9: It went I I I just wanna win. It's just,

1614
01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:49,360
Speaker 9: you know, four more weeks, and if it takes longer

1615
01:20:49,400 --> 01:20:52,839
Speaker 9: than that, it takes longer than that. I'm I'm controlling

1616
01:20:52,880 --> 01:20:56,200
Speaker 9: what I can control mentally. Physically, the body's gonna do

1617
01:20:56,240 --> 01:20:58,280
Speaker 9: whatever it's gonna do. But mentally I'm in a great spot.

1618
01:20:58,280 --> 01:21:00,320
Speaker 9: I've been in a great spot, and you just keep

1619
01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:01,920
Speaker 9: tipping away at it, You keep chipping away at it

1620
01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:02,519
Speaker 9: one day at a.

1621
01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:05,920
Speaker 17: Time, and you talk about getting a couple extra weeks

1622
01:21:05,960 --> 01:21:07,920
Speaker 17: here by the time you're ready to go and off

1623
01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:10,479
Speaker 17: the pup list. Where will you be at in a

1624
01:21:10,479 --> 01:21:13,599
Speaker 17: physicality standpoint with with the amount of time you've had

1625
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:16,880
Speaker 17: to rehab compared to the rest of your career. Are

1626
01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:19,280
Speaker 17: you feeling like you'll be at a point where like, hey,

1627
01:21:19,360 --> 01:21:21,160
Speaker 17: my body has never felt this good.

1628
01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:25,200
Speaker 6: I'm hoping, So I hoping. So that's that's that's the plan.

1629
01:21:25,720 --> 01:21:27,960
Speaker 6: That's the plan. But I mean football is different.

1630
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:32,320
Speaker 9: You can't really replicate you can't really replicate you know,

1631
01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:36,400
Speaker 9: running around wrestling, wrestling with guys and hitting guys every

1632
01:21:36,439 --> 01:21:38,599
Speaker 9: single play, whether it's rushing past or not. There's still

1633
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:41,080
Speaker 9: a whole list of things that you have to do

1634
01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:45,280
Speaker 9: to get to that point. So I feel good, you know, mentally,

1635
01:21:45,320 --> 01:21:47,040
Speaker 9: I'm I'm in a better place than I've ever been

1636
01:21:47,080 --> 01:21:48,040
Speaker 9: in my career.

1637
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:50,240
Speaker 6: And you just you just chip away at it.

1638
01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:52,639
Speaker 9: The body's gonna do what it's gonna do, and mentally

1639
01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:58,000
Speaker 9: I can control that and I'm in a great spot.

1640
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:04,680
Speaker 12: Can or did you think it is not do you

1641
01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:07,280
Speaker 12: think it can play in London, because that would be your.

1642
01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:10,080
Speaker 6: First week better awesome. I mean it's a little early,

1643
01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:11,320
Speaker 6: it's a little early for that.

1644
01:22:11,400 --> 01:22:13,919
Speaker 9: I really just try to focus on the on the process,

1645
01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:16,320
Speaker 9: not the outcome, you know. I really just focus on

1646
01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:19,320
Speaker 9: the process, trying to be the best you know, football

1647
01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:21,080
Speaker 9: player I could possibly be, trying to be the best

1648
01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:25,720
Speaker 9: leader I could possibly be. Obviously, the best leadership is

1649
01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:29,080
Speaker 9: coping with production and being out there with the guys,

1650
01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:32,520
Speaker 9: and that's really the That's really the one thing that

1651
01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:35,680
Speaker 9: that I feel that I feel if I have any

1652
01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:39,960
Speaker 9: emotion about it, that's really the feeling that I had

1653
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:42,280
Speaker 9: not been able to lead with my pads on with

1654
01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:44,200
Speaker 9: the guys. But other than that, I'm in a I'm

1655
01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:46,400
Speaker 9: in a great spot. And hopefully it's London.

1656
01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:48,680
Speaker 6: You know. If it's not London, it's not London. You know,

1657
01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:50,560
Speaker 6: I'm not putting a date on it.

1658
01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:53,320
Speaker 9: I'm really just focused on focusing on the process over

1659
01:22:53,360 --> 01:22:54,920
Speaker 9: the outcome. And I come in here and I grind

1660
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:58,360
Speaker 9: each and every day. Got a great training staff, great

1661
01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:02,519
Speaker 9: leadership here with Brandon being from the top down, and yeah,

1662
01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:04,000
Speaker 9: I just I just take it one day at the

1663
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:09,200
Speaker 9: time and control what I can control it protecting.

1664
01:23:08,520 --> 01:23:11,600
Speaker 15: You from yourself because it doesn't have the possibility.

1665
01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:13,719
Speaker 3: You know, you can't play for four more weeks.

1666
01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:17,680
Speaker 6: I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

1667
01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:20,559
Speaker 9: That's why, that's why, that's that's I mean, that's why

1668
01:23:20,920 --> 01:23:23,640
Speaker 9: being is is is one of the greatest. You know,

1669
01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:26,880
Speaker 9: he's able to make great decisions like that. And you know,

1670
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:29,360
Speaker 9: if that's that's why Bun's not making the decisions, you know,

1671
01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:33,320
Speaker 9: and that's why that's why he's making the decisions that

1672
01:23:33,320 --> 01:23:35,960
Speaker 9: he's making. And all the decisions that he's made has

1673
01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:38,360
Speaker 9: gotten us to this point. And you know, I just

1674
01:23:38,439 --> 01:23:40,840
Speaker 9: I just play my role and take advantage of the

1675
01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 9: time that I do have, whether that's trying to get

1676
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:44,439
Speaker 9: in the best shape that I possibly can be in

1677
01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:47,200
Speaker 9: working on all the intrinsic muscles that go along with

1678
01:23:47,640 --> 01:23:50,160
Speaker 9: supporting the knee and you know, all these other stuff.

1679
01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:52,559
Speaker 9: Just because the knees ready doesn't mean everything else is ready.

1680
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:53,920
Speaker 9: It's still a lot of other stuff.

1681
01:23:54,200 --> 01:23:56,840
Speaker 6: You got hamstrings, growings, calves.

1682
01:23:56,720 --> 01:23:58,759
Speaker 9: You know, the quads, you got all the other stuff

1683
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:00,800
Speaker 9: that you got to get ready to go too. So,

1684
01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:03,519
Speaker 9: like I said, I just I really just I really

1685
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:07,000
Speaker 9: just put all my focus on the process, not really

1686
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:07,519
Speaker 9: the outcome.

1687
01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:12,080
Speaker 14: Will you make the trip and beyond the sidelines Monday

1688
01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:13,280

1689
01:24:13,240 --> 01:24:13,760
Speaker 12: Does that work?

1690
01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:16,040
Speaker 6: I gotta that's one of the things.

1691
01:24:16,479 --> 01:24:18,040
Speaker 9: That's one of the things I have to really get

1692
01:24:18,040 --> 01:24:21,080
Speaker 9: into GM wise in front office. But I have to

1693
01:24:21,080 --> 01:24:24,040
Speaker 9: really get into the CBA. I gotta really, I really

1694
01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:26,280
Speaker 9: gotta dive deepening. But right now I'm just trying to

1695
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:29,439
Speaker 9: focus on being the best past rusher I could possibly be.

1696
01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:31,559
Speaker 9: But that's that's something I really got to get into.

1697
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:35,360
Speaker 9: I'm really I'm really not sure. But if I whatever,

1698
01:24:35,400 --> 01:24:37,200
Speaker 9: I whatever I can do, I will do.

1699
01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:38,040
Speaker 6: For sure.

1700
01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:45,479
Speaker 14: Every team piece has change the Jets obviously. What do

1701
01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:48,559
Speaker 14: you think about the mystery of week one? That you

1702
01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:52,639
Speaker 14: never quite sure what's going what's gonna happen?

1703
01:24:52,960 --> 01:24:53,479
Speaker 6: You really don't.

1704
01:24:53,520 --> 01:24:57,280
Speaker 9: I mean, that's what makes the NFL the greatest for

1705
01:24:57,360 --> 01:24:59,160
Speaker 9: it in the world.

1706
01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:06,320
Speaker 6: You know, in basketball, are your championship.

1707
01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:17,320
Speaker 9: Tree, camaraderie, the gelling component of it, the the socialization.

1708
01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:22,559
Speaker 9: It's a lot more than just players and and and

1709
01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:24,600
Speaker 9: writing up great schemes because all of these coaches have

1710
01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:27,000
Speaker 9: great schemes. If you're a head coach.

1711
01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:28,280
Speaker 6: In international Football League.

1712
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:31,160
Speaker 9: If your offensive coordinator, if you're a defensive coordinator, you

1713
01:25:31,600 --> 01:25:34,040
Speaker 9: have a brilliant mind. It takes the it takes, it

1714
01:25:34,080 --> 01:25:36,840
Speaker 9: takes the pieces on the field to really bring that

1715
01:25:37,040 --> 01:25:40,040
Speaker 9: to life. And you know, they just have great coaches

1716
01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:41,840
Speaker 9: and they got great they got great pieces too.

1717
01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:44,240
Speaker 6: We got great coaches, We got great pieces too. And

1718
01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:45,280
Speaker 6: the mystery of it.

1719
01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:48,200
Speaker 9: Is is is why everybody tunes in to watch these

1720
01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:49,920
Speaker 9: games in the National Football League.

1721
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:53,800
Speaker 2: All right, that's von Miller addressing the media, and as

1722
01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:58,759
Speaker 2: he explained, essentially he was cleared, the knee was medically

1723
01:25:58,840 --> 01:26:03,479
Speaker 2: cleared for contact and everything else two days before a

1724
01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:06,720
Speaker 2: decision had to be made on his pup designation. But

1725
01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:08,760
Speaker 2: as he explained, there is a lot more that goes

1726
01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:09,920
Speaker 2: into it than just having.

1727
01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:10,400
Speaker 3: Your knee clear.

1728
01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:14,280
Speaker 2: There are there's strength, there's endurance, there's all of these

1729
01:26:14,280 --> 01:26:18,040
Speaker 2: things to be quote unquote game ready. And the Bills,

1730
01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:20,240
Speaker 2: as we have said Steve, are playing the long game here.

1731
01:26:20,360 --> 01:26:23,719
Speaker 2: They want to make sure that that thing is one

1732
01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:28,200
Speaker 2: hundred percent ready for game action, not just to run around.

1733
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:32,840
Speaker 4: The bottom line is that they want von Miller to

1734
01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:34,639
Speaker 4: come back. At the bottom line is they know he's

1735
01:26:34,640 --> 01:26:37,200
Speaker 4: coming back at some point during this season, second half

1736
01:26:37,200 --> 01:26:40,479
Speaker 4: of the season, week five, whenever it is, he's going

1737
01:26:40,520 --> 01:26:42,080
Speaker 4: to be back in the lineup, and that's the most

1738
01:26:42,120 --> 01:26:45,519
Speaker 4: important thing. And we hear it a lot with these

1739
01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:51,719
Speaker 4: injuries that it's stability and structurally it's okay. The problem

1740
01:26:51,720 --> 01:26:53,600
Speaker 4: with that is this, when you live your life and

1741
01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:56,560
Speaker 4: when you particularly when you train as an athlete, you

1742
01:26:56,640 --> 01:27:01,599
Speaker 4: don't just you don't train a specifically for one body part,

1743
01:27:01,640 --> 01:27:04,040
Speaker 4: like you rehab for one body part. So you rehab

1744
01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:06,080
Speaker 4: for this body part, and you don't know how the

1745
01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:08,800
Speaker 4: rest of your body is going to react to being

1746
01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:11,919
Speaker 4: at full go again after a year of being focused

1747
01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:14,599
Speaker 4: on one part of your body. So it takes an

1748
01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:18,719
Speaker 4: escalating level of training to get your whole body wrapped

1749
01:27:18,760 --> 01:27:23,240
Speaker 4: back around a body part that was injured. So his

1750
01:27:23,320 --> 01:27:24,840
Speaker 4: knee may be fine, but all of a sudden he

1751
01:27:24,840 --> 01:27:26,360
Speaker 4: comes back and all of a sudden, he can't keep

1752
01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:29,000
Speaker 4: his hamstrings healthy, or his quad muscles or you know,

1753
01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:31,400
Speaker 4: or his hip flex or something. You know, there's some

1754
01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:34,080
Speaker 4: other body part that because his knee has been injured

1755
01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:38,320
Speaker 4: for so long, something breaks, Something else breaks, and you

1756
01:27:38,360 --> 01:27:39,400
Speaker 4: had to escalate into that.

1757
01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:42,760
Speaker 2: And that's why when Vaughn Right after the decision was

1758
01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:46,360
Speaker 2: made to put him on IR, which would take him

1759
01:27:46,360 --> 01:27:48,839
Speaker 2: out of the first four games of the regular season.

1760
01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:52,000
Speaker 2: Said the Bills have the best athletic training staff and

1761
01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:55,120
Speaker 2: medical staff in the business, and that Brandon Bean is

1762
01:27:55,160 --> 01:27:58,280
Speaker 2: the best going because of the way they take this approach.

1763
01:27:58,360 --> 01:28:00,479
Speaker 2: They're not here to hurry him back on to the field.

1764
01:28:00,520 --> 01:28:02,280
Speaker 2: They're here to play the long game, so he's there

1765
01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:04,800
Speaker 2: when the most important games are played at the end

1766
01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:07,000
Speaker 2: of the season. Break time here, Steve and I close

1767
01:28:07,040 --> 01:28:08,719
Speaker 2: it up with some final thoughts on the tweet sheets.

1768
01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:27,519
Speaker 3: Stay tuned, all right.

1769
01:28:27,479 --> 01:28:29,760
Speaker 2: Some final thoughts here on the tweet sheet where we

1770
01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:32,960
Speaker 2: were asking you today, what are your expectations for Terrell

1771
01:28:33,080 --> 01:28:36,599
Speaker 2: Bernard as your starting middle linebacker for the Bills. Daniel says,

1772
01:28:36,720 --> 01:28:39,479
Speaker 2: be a competent starting middle linebacker for an NFL team.

1773
01:28:39,520 --> 01:28:41,800
Speaker 2: Doesn't need to be an all Pro, although that would

1774
01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:44,120
Speaker 2: be amazing. Just do his job is one eleventh, do

1775
01:28:44,160 --> 01:28:46,599
Speaker 2: it well, have fun out there. It is a game.

1776
01:28:47,160 --> 01:28:51,719
Speaker 2: Mafia is behind him, Go Bills. And that's to your point, Steve,

1777
01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:53,680
Speaker 2: you said earlier today, it doesn't have to be a

1778
01:28:53,680 --> 01:28:56,960
Speaker 2: world beater because he's got good people around him.

1779
01:28:57,320 --> 01:29:03,080
Speaker 4: Oh. Absolutely, absolutely, it's yeah, this is it's gonna be

1780
01:29:03,080 --> 01:29:05,560
Speaker 4: a team effort. Just do your one eleventh, all of

1781
01:29:05,600 --> 01:29:07,840
Speaker 4: that stuff, you know, on both sides of the ball.

1782
01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:12,680
Speaker 2: So yeah, Connor says, I'm excited for it.

1783
01:29:12,720 --> 01:29:13,759
Speaker 3: I think he has great speed.

1784
01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:15,840
Speaker 2: I know he's undersized, but I'll have a great opportunity

1785
01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:18,000
Speaker 2: to line up next to Blana. Hopefully he plays fast

1786
01:29:18,040 --> 01:29:20,000
Speaker 2: and free and terrorizes the Jets offense.

1787
01:29:20,640 --> 01:29:21,240
Speaker 4: Go Bills.

1788
01:29:21,479 --> 01:29:24,720
Speaker 2: Big show tomorrow, the return of Field Yates with the

1789
01:29:24,880 --> 01:29:29,280
Speaker 2: ultimate Fantasy lineup and the Football Relationship Hotline.

1790
01:29:29,320 --> 01:29:29,960
Speaker 3: We'll see it won
