So it was as 27 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: you would think of an up and down preseason game, 28 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: which she always get.

As you know, 34 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: I dropped my son off at the University of Georgia 35 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: last weekend. You've done it five times. This is only 36 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: my second time. I have to tell you. The school 37 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: pride there at the University of Georgia very reminiscent of 38 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: Bills Mafia. Really, everyone's got Georgia gear on on campus. 39 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,679 Speaker 1: No matter who you talk to about whatever subject you 40 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,119 Speaker 1: could be looking for directions on campus where you want 41 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: to park, every conversation ends with oh yeah, happy to 42 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: help you. Go Dogs. Yeah, everything ends with So it's 43 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: just like Bills. I feel like when you see somebody 44 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 1: wearing Bills gear that you pass on the street, you say, 45 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: go Bills. I mean, it's kind of it's the same 46 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: thing there. It's interesting you mentioned that too. We were 47 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: out before the game on Saturday. We were out getting 48 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,679 Speaker 1: some breakfast, you know, early in the morning before we 49 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: went over the stadium and started in on that day. 50 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: And Andrew Catalan, the play by player, he goes around 51 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: with CBS. He works with James Loft in the booth 52 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: for CBS, the job I did for all these years. 53 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: And so they they go to all NFL cities at 54 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: some point, just like I did. And and he was saying, 55 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: you know, I gotta tell you, it's unbelievable here in Buffalo. 56 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: I what do you mean. He goes, everybody has got 57 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,399 Speaker 1: on Bill's gear. Ye, everybody's everybody. We were farmers, we're 58 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: a farmer's market. And it, yeah, it looked like a 59 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 1: team meeting, you know what I mean, And because a 60 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: game day. But it was a game day. But I'm 61 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 1: telling still, he goes, it's just like that in Athens. Yeah, 62 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: everybody's got red or black one for Georgia. It's and 63 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: I know it's the SEC. They're football nuts down there. 64 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: It is full on, so that's good stuff. I had 65 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: a picture of my son's dorm after he got it 66 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: all decorated. So he's now part of both crews. I 67 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: don't know if they what they call the Georgia fans. 68 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a moniker for them if 69 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: you know it tweeted at me. Yeah. Um, so he's 70 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: got his Georgia flag up on the wall. Go dogs. 71 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: And then under his bed is the Bill flag prominently 72 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: displayed behind his futon. So everybody sits there's a yeah, 73 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: there's a couch there, He's got it right behind the couch. 74 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: Yeah he's so he's ready to roll. He's even got 75 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: a Georgia shirt on in the dang pictures, So everybody's 76 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: wearing Georgia gear there all the time. It's just like 77 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: Bill's moffy. I am telling you, now here's a funny 78 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: story that I wanted to share with you, Steve. So 79 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: I was talking about the long drive back from down 80 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: there back to Buffalo. It's like thirteen and a half hours. 81 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: So we're driving up through West Virginia, into southern Ohio 82 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: and we're on the I seventy seven. We go right 83 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 1: by Can't in Ohio, and you know, the Pro Football 84 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame is right on the side of the road. 85 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: It's right on the highway exactly like you can see it. 86 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: So we're driving back home and my daughter's in the 87 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: car because she helped us move him in. So it's 88 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: my daughter, my wife in the car and we're driving by. 89 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: Said oh, and my daughter doesn't care one iota about football, 90 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: like nothing, but I figured we're passing it. Let me 91 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: just at least pointed out to her, like, hey, here's 92 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame. You're driving right past it. 93 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: So I pointed out to her and she goes, oh, yeah, 94 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: look at that. She goes, I think we'd only stop 95 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: if they put Steve in there, then we would stop. 96 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: That's what she said. I got a girl. She said, 97 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: if we if Steve was in there, maybe we would 98 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 1: have stopped. But we're gonna keep on going. So I was. 99 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: I was pleased with her awareness because there isn't much 100 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: about football that she cares about. Meanwhile, my wife's memory 101 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: of Canton is being dragged to the Hall of Fame. 102 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: That's her words. Dragged to the Hall of Fame as 103 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: as a young swimming competitor because they used to have 104 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: swim events, I guess in Canton a line some of 105 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: the local colleges there, and so they she'd get dragged 106 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: over there on off days during the competition. She goes. 107 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: I said, how many times do you think you've been there? 108 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: She goes, probably eight to ten times, ages eight to fourteen, 109 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: Like every year they're down there. I've been here, I've 110 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: seen it. I don't want to see it again. Yeah, 111 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: so that was funny. I was hoping I could get 112 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: down there for a game during the Bill's bye week. 113 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: George's bye week is the same week. Oh that's yeah. 114 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: Let me tell you it's true. We had that dilemma 115 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 1: for with Luke. Yeah, decades, decades at Cornell. For me, 116 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: when I was playing, wins my bye week because we 117 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: could go take a little weekend trip, go visit my 118 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: family or have them come up. You do things right 119 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 1: on that bye week. I don't remember ever having a 120 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 1: bye week fall on the exact weekend you needed it 121 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: to not a sing not in the they didn't start 122 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: having they didn't have it at eighty five when I 123 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 1: came in, but when they did start having everybody, I 124 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: think you always think, you always think that at some 125 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: point that bye week is going to be perfect. Now 126 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: it has never been perfect, not in the not in 127 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: the thirty two years they've had a bye It's never 128 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: been perfect. NFL News and notes, the Bill's roster is 129 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 1: down to eighty four players. They had to get down 130 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: to eighty five, Steve by four pm today. They did 131 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: that in plenty of time, releasing two players this morning. 132 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: They cut linebacker Mark el Lee and cornerback Tim Harris. 133 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: Both players had largely been deeply buried on the depth chart, 134 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: and with the emergence of players like rookies Terrell Bernard 135 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: and balin Specter and Christian Benford, there was little hope 136 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: I think of Lee or Harris making the fifty three 137 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: man roster. So the roster had to get to eighty five. 138 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: It's at eighty four right now, and there is another 139 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: cutdown coming up here soon where they have to get 140 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: down to eighty before the big cut down to fifty three, 141 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: which is going to be a chore because there are 142 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: some positions and we'll talk more about this when we 143 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: get into our topic of the show today that we're 144 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: gonna be looking for responses from you for but um, 145 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: there are some there is some depth at positions that 146 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: I don't know if people thought there would be going 147 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: into training camp, but very quickly we are realizing there 148 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: are going to be some, maybe even more than we anticipated, 149 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: more players clipped off this roster that are gonna wind 150 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: up on other rosters. Because I think most deep and 151 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: talented corner, yeah, linebacker, the ones you just mentioned, um, 152 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: and I think I think they're gonna have an issue 153 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: at running back. It's hard to see them jettisoning into 154 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: the guys that have been they've had in there yet, 155 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: even all the way down to black Shear the running 156 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,959 Speaker 1: back right, so probably the most unproven guy in the room. UM. 157 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:51,719 Speaker 1: I'm really interested to see what they do with this roster. Certainly, unfortunately, 158 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: I think it's going to get poached. I mean, the 159 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: minute they try and put together their practice squad, some 160 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: of these players are going to be gone. And they're 161 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: not gonna go from the Bills practice squad over to 162 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: the Bengals practice squad, of the Chiefs practice quarter. They're 163 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: going to go on the rocks. Happened last year. I mean, 164 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: if you remember last year, their seventh round picked Jack Anderson, 165 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: the offensive lineman, got poached by the Philadelphia Eagles, signed 166 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: to the fifty three man roster outright right. McLeod Nick McLeod, 167 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: as an undrafted rookie, got poached by the Cincinnati Bengals 168 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: put on their fifty three man roster. So fortunately they 169 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: got McLeod back after he got released late in the 170 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: season by Cincinnati. But yeah, the Bills roster got poached 171 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: even last year, and I would anticipate the same thing 172 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: as going to happen, especially because Steve, You've got a 173 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: personnel department working for the New York Giants now that 174 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: knows a lot of these players intimately, like not even 175 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 1: a second thought. They'll just say, who got put on 176 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,199 Speaker 1: waivers from the Bills, Sign them right now, put into claim. 177 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: And here's the thing. It's it's like every industry, you 178 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: got these people to go out and they saying, how 179 00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 1: do you do it, and how do you do it, 180 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: and how do you do it? Who the most successful 181 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: and what are your best things that you do the 182 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: best best practices. Then you get a team like the 183 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: Bills whose skyrockets to the elite status in the league. 184 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 1: Who's the super Bowl favorite with an MVP caliber quarterback 185 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: who started from let's just say ground zero when they 186 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: showed up in cap jail. You know, poor roster, no stars, 187 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: no quarterback, and now they're where they are. Yeah, all 188 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: of a sudden, their assistant Jim Joe Shane goes to 189 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 1: the New York Football Giants brings the offensive coordinator with him. 190 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: That's the way it works. And they bring a lot 191 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 1: of the same techniques and thought processes to the way 192 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: they vet their think vet their players. And I think 193 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 1: that's a that's one of the most important aspects of 194 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: this whole exercise is how they find out what they 195 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: need to know about these players before they sign them, 196 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: what they're going to be like after they sign, what 197 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: gets them, what makes them tick, and that way. You've 198 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: had guys that we'll sign you, we'll sign them for now, 199 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: but you've got to do this and this or otherwise 200 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 1: you're not going to work out. They they're bluntly on 201 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: ut your personality is this, you need to do this, 202 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: you need to do that. They are It's unbelievable how 203 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: they treat these guys and find out what makes them 204 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: tick and how important that is the game demands everything, 205 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: and if you're not willing to give it everything, you're 206 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: not the guy they want. They may tolerate you for 207 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 1: a minute, but they're going to replace you. So today, 208 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: the roster by four PM had to get down to 209 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: eighty five. As we told you, the Bills are at 210 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: eighty four. A week from today, August twenty third, the 211 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: roster has to be reduced to eighty players by four PM. 212 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: So a week from today they've got to move four 213 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: more players off of their current roster as it stands, 214 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: and then a week after that is the big cutdown 215 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: to fifty three. So some roster moves to be made 216 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: in the coming weeks, some larger than others. Obviously two 217 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: weeks from now as opposed to next week where they 218 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: just have to take a few players and move them 219 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: off the roster. So we'll see what decisions are made. Obviously, 220 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: the second preseason game will be a big factor in 221 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: that equation, as was presumably this first preseason game this 222 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,199 Speaker 1: past week. So that's kind of where it stands with 223 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: respect to the Bill's roster. Joint practices today Steve between 224 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: the Patriots and Panthers did not go very well. It 225 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: featured multiple fights and players on both teams kicked off 226 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 1: the field. In one incident, Patriots receivers Kendrick Bourne and 227 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: Christian Wilkerson got into it with Panthers defensive back Kenny Robinson. 228 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 1: All three players kicked out of practice for fighting. Other 229 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: players got involved as well, although they weren't sent off. 230 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: Not long after that, another brawl started and Patriots offensive 231 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: lineman Jane Parens was booted, along with Panthers defensive tackle 232 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: Phil Hoskins, at which point in time, both Matt Rule 233 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: and Bill Belichick started barking at their players. Hey, knock 234 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: off the knock off that crap, none of this crap, 235 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So, you know, things got a 236 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: little out of control there and we're not productive. I 237 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: do have to say, Steve, when we went down to 238 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 1: the Bill's Panthers joint practices in twenty nineteen in Spartanburg, 239 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: South Carolina, there was not a single incident. I think 240 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: there might have been like one little shoving match and 241 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 1: that was it. Yeah, it was, and it was intense competition, 242 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: but nobody blew their stack. And you remember how hot 243 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: it was. Remember we were down there for that. It 244 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: was like one ten on the field. My gosh, it 245 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: was Yeah, I think I'm pretty sure it was like 246 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: in the nineties, the whole week. Yeah, I was gonna say, 247 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: I think it was one hundred and thirty seven degrees. 248 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: He didn't. Are we practicing on the sun? What the 249 00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: hell happened the surface of the sun? Um? Yeah, I'll 250 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: say this, when you get a lot of fights like 251 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: that and I don't know, to me, it's not the 252 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: sign of a good football team. You've got a lot 253 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: of guys who believe they've got they can't be embarrassed 254 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: on a rep. You've got a lot of guys who 255 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: believe that, you know, they can't look bad in this practice. 256 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: You've got a lot of guys who are trying to 257 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: make it by overachieving, you know, and being that guy 258 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: that really sets the tone for the team, you know, 259 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: being They've got a lot of guys going outside of 260 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: what you would normally have it a practice, either because 261 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: they can't keep up, or they get embarrassed and it 262 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: keeps happening and happening and happening and they lose their mind. 263 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: It's not the sign of a good football team. You 264 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: can say, yeah, they're trying to tough, they're trying to 265 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: set the tone. No, that's not what it is to me. 266 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: Somebody's getting embarrassed out there, and that's that's what sets 267 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: these guys off. Or they feel like they're getting cheated. 268 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: They're they're letting them cheat. And you see that a 269 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: lot hold holding and all of that. So maybe, but 270 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: I'm telling you it's it's not good. It doesn't It 271 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: doesn't mean they're tough and firing competitive. Come on, please. 272 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: In other AFC East news, Jets quarterback Zach Wilson is 273 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: having the surgery or the scope on his knee injury. 274 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: Suffered a torn meniscus in last week's preseason game, having 275 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: surgery today out in California. It's a simple procedure. He's 276 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: got a torn meniscus in his knee. It's not damaged 277 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: to the point where they have to do major surgery. 278 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: He's got a piece of his meniscus hanging off. They 279 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: just have to go in and snip that thing and 280 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: then he's got a two to four week recovery non 281 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: contact injury and fortunate for the Jets, only out two 282 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: to four weeks, so that's good news for him. Meanwhile, 283 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: and this is a bit of housekeeping because this happened 284 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: over the weekend, But the Jets did sign veteran tackle 285 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: Dwayne Brown. As we remember, he had made a visit 286 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: to Jets camp, and with McKay Beckton now out for 287 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: the season with a knee injury, the Jets ramped up 288 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: their efforts to get the thirty six year old signed. 289 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: They signed him to a two year contract. Steve Dwayne Brown. 290 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: He's thirty six, but I think it speaks to how 291 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: desperately they needed a veteran tackle to kind of fill 292 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: the void there. The question now is Dwayne Brown, who 293 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: has been a left tackle almost his entire career, is 294 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: he going to play on the left side at age 295 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: thirty six and forced George Pant, the projected starting left tackle, 296 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: to flip over the right side for the Jets, Or 297 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: does Dwayne Brown slide in at right tackle and they 298 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: don't change anything else. That's going to be what's interesting 299 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: to see as far as how the Jets go going 300 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: into this well, and they'll probably feel their way around 301 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: Dwayne Brown. I mean, if if Dwayne Brown was going 302 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: to sign this year at the age of thirty six, 303 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: and I don't know, Brownie, maybe you know more about 304 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: him than I do. Most of the time. You do 305 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 1: that for a guy, you hope he takes half the 306 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: snaps in one or two games. Oh, you know what 307 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 1: I mean. I think they're expecting more from him. Oh 308 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: I know, I know. But he's thirty six now, and 309 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: he's an old thirty right now, turns thirty seven at 310 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: the end of the month, right, So him, They signed 311 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: him into a two year deal, hoping he's got a 312 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: year left in him. Yeah, and then next year maybe 313 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: he can be the guy that takes half the snaps 314 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: in three games, you know what I mean, finishes some 315 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: games for some guys, you know what I'm saying, right, 316 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 1: But like he's a stop gap guy next year, swing 317 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 1: tackle next year. You know, just at the end of 318 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: his career, he's you know, just fills in, gets him 319 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: out of a game. You know. I don't know, that's 320 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 1: that's a lot to ask of a guy come in 321 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 1: just off the street, all right here, Now, I get it. 322 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 1: He's been he's a guy, he's a player. That guy 323 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,199 Speaker 1: can go. He was a he was a big time 324 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 1: tackle in the NFL. Um I don't know how much 325 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 1: he's got left, but Jets are gonna see he won't 326 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: be If he plays and he's one hundred percent, stays 327 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: healthy and all that, he won't be their worst offensive lineman. Yeah, 328 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 1: by any stretch. Vera Tucker is a good player and 329 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: all that. But you know we'll see George Fans a 330 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: decent tackle, not great, but he's decent. Um. If Brown 331 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: is feeling, I mean, the first couple of weeks, he's 332 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 1: gonna look like a world beater up. Oh yeah, right, 333 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: how's he gonna look at weeks eighteen? Let's see, yeah, 334 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: let's see what now, let's see how two weeks, let's 335 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: see how. No, week four, let's see how he looks. 336 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 1: Back Listen, you don't even have him getting October. Dude, 337 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 1: you have no idea how hard it is it is. 338 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: Guard man, I don't, and I won't pretend and believe me, 339 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: if he goes to week three and the Jets are 340 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 1: owing three, he's gonna hurt. So I yeah, I'm speaking 341 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: of hurting Steve. Last note from the AFC East practice 342 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: not going all that well for Dolphins quarterbacks today at 343 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: training camp practice down there where do they practice, Davy, No, 344 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: Miami Gardens. They practice right at their regular facility not one, 345 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 1: not two, not three, not four, not five, but six 346 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: interceptions thrown by Dolphins quarterbacks in a single practice today. Now, look, 347 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: I'll be the first person to say the best part 348 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: of the Miami Dolphins is their defense. And I think 349 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: they're going to be counting on their defense to carry 350 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: them through the first couple of weeks while this offense 351 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: gets up to speed under a new coach. The defensive 352 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: system remains the same, the defensive coordinate, it remains the same, 353 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,640 Speaker 1: and a lot of their talent is coming back as well, 354 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: and it's a good group. But six interceptions in one 355 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 1: practice by the Dolphins quarterbacks, three of which we're thrown 356 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 1: by two it's hung of Violoa. Well, and I'm I 357 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: have a hard time. I'm not there. We don't see 358 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: me there. I'm not at the point where I'm going 359 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: to start busting these guys up for throwing picks in 360 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: training camp. It's just you never know what they're trying 361 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 1: to install. You never know what the defense is trying 362 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: to install. You never know what right Josh threw a 363 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: couple of today and you never know it, like and 364 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: like today, you never know where they were, whether they 365 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: were red zone picks, or where they were tipped interceptions 366 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,719 Speaker 1: or what all that stuff. I have a hard time. 367 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: Six is a lot it is. I will that's true, 368 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: but you know, I'm not really that into the statistics 369 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: in practice. So right, I get it, it's not real. 370 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: It's can't be good, But I'm not gonna pound on 371 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 1: Tuah's head overthrowing interceptions and a training can't practice. Um, 372 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: Like I said, what, we were sitting there today and 373 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: Josh through a couple and it was, you know, they 374 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: were they were working on tight end zone, red zone stuff, 375 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 1: receiver goes the wrong way, pick, you know that kind 376 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: of thing. So and they even yeah, even their body 377 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: language at Bill's campus like ah, you know they were 378 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: kind of like, oh, yeah, we should have done that, 379 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: and they were like all over It's kind of a 380 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 1: it was a kind of a thing where it's like, oh, 381 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: that's gonna help them because now they got a conversation 382 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 1: about something specific. But yeah, I people appear to love 383 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:50,479 Speaker 1: pounding on tula. It's it's it feels good. I mean, 384 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: I gotta admit, right, but there's Micah Hidy had one 385 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: of them today, Right, I don't know who did Josh 386 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 1: throw that or was that yeah, so you know, some 387 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: of them look bad like that one. I mean, this 388 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 1: one comes out of nowhere, and I you know, Micah 389 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: picks it off. It's not a big deal. Yeah, probably not. 390 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: You're supposed to throw. You throw those in. Doesn't take 391 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: away the fun of mentioning it, though it does. Six 392 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: picks by Dolphins quarterbacks in practice Today, there was a 393 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 1: bit of news out of Pittsburgh concerning the quarterback competition. 394 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: Mitchell Trubisky is still seen as the projected starter, but 395 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: both Mason Rudolph and top pick Kenny Pickett performed well 396 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: in the Steelers preseason opener. Pick At thirteen to fifteen 397 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 1: for ninety five yards led the game winning touchdown drive. 398 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 1: Of course, it was against third stringers. It's gonna be 399 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 1: interesting to see which way that thing goes, you know, 400 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,360 Speaker 1: going into the next preseason game, who performs well, etc. Etc. 401 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like I'm very curious how Mike 402 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: Tomlin views this, you know what I mean, Because he's 403 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: in a division where you presumably have Deshaun Watson, Joe Burrow, 404 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson, Like you better get the quarterback decision 405 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,360 Speaker 1: right playing in that division, because right now you've got 406 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: the fourth best situation in your division at You're at 407 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: the most important position on the field, no matter who 408 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 1: it is, pick It, Rudolph or Traubisky, your fourth yea 409 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: at that position. So you better be one hundred percent 410 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: sure you got the best guy possible starting, because it's 411 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: gonna be a battle for all six of your division 412 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: games alone. Forget about who else you got to play. 413 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: Not only you're obviously gonna have the best guy you 414 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: can get possible, but it's gonna be one of these 415 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: three guys. And even if one of these three guys 416 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 1: is the best guy you've got, they're not gonna be 417 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: anything but the fourth guy, right, even if as good 418 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: as as good as pick it looked the other night, 419 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 1: and he did, folks, he looked really good. So did 420 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: George Pickens. By the way, remember the Georgia receiver we 421 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: talked about, so anyway that he looked really good. But 422 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: like you said, I mean, it was who was he playing, 423 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: But there's gonna be they've got to get some play 424 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 1: out of that. Now. I like Mike Tomlin. We've said 425 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: a lot. He's never had a losing season as Steeler's 426 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: head coach. Never, And maybe it'll happen someday, but I'll 427 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: say this, it's gonna be close no matter how you 428 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,239 Speaker 1: slice it. Yeah, And I'm just saying the reason he's 429 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 1: got to get it right. It's a difficult thing to 430 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: pin down because this is the first time he's been 431 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 1: around Kenny Pickett on a daily basis. It's the first 432 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: time he's been around Mitchell Trubisky on a daily basis, right, 433 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he's Mason Rudolph probably inside and out, 434 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: but he's still learning about these other two guys. He's 435 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: gonna have to make a call on who his starter 436 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: is in the next week and a half to make 437 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 1: sure that guy's ready for the opener. So you better 438 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,239 Speaker 1: be right with the decision that you make. I mean, 439 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: you can always change it, but that set your team 440 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: back then because now you're shifting gears new guy. Yeah. 441 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: I mean, let's face it, this is between Trubisky and Pickett. 442 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph has no shot at starting for the Pittsburgh Steelers. 443 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,919 Speaker 1: Those two other guys are. Yeah, they brought him in 444 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: because they brought him in with Mason Rudolph already on 445 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: their roster. And if you go with Pickett and you're 446 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: banking on upside, you have to expect there to be 447 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: growing pains too. And now you're really kind of setting 448 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: yourself up to be fourth in the AFC North. Yeah, 449 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: unless you can minimize his mistakes, which you know, that's 450 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: what you always do as a for a young quarterback 451 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,719 Speaker 1: before you start, before you start trying to you know, 452 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 1: swing for the fence with a young quarterback. You want 453 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: to get them to where they don't make the catastrophic mistake. Allah, 454 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman kind of thing. Right, So, who's still in 455 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: the league. By the way, there's something that's a different 456 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 1: that's a that's a Twitter poll right there. But that's 457 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: unbelieva think about that. I can't think about it now. 458 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: We're on other things. But Pittsburgh, their quarterback situation is 459 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: fourth in the AFC North. But I am there to 460 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: me a little bit like we've both kind of come 461 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: to think about the Patriots. You never count those jokers. Yes, 462 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: I would agree with that. Speaking of quarterbacks, Lamar Jackson 463 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: made a statement of sorts over the weekend basically said 464 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 1: he wants a contract extension done by week one, doesn't 465 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 1: want to negotiate after that point, which I guess when 466 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: you represent yourself. That kind of makes sense to me. 467 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: It would be a major distraction after the season already started. 468 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 1: So we've got some parameters now well on what has 469 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 1: been a very quiet behind the scenes. They might not 470 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: be negotiating at all. I don't know. I would talk 471 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 1: every day too, who knows. I would assume they are. 472 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: This is too important to not get right for the Ravens. Yeah, 473 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,439 Speaker 1: but here's the thing. We haven't heard like nothing. I 474 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: know it's been crickets, so I don't we got Wasn't 475 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: there a It's hard to know if stuff is happening 476 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 1: or not. Wasn't there a report months ago or weeks 477 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: ago about something that the Ravens had offered or some 478 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: ballpark figures that they were talking about that Lamar said 479 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 1: no to. But we never heard any We have never 480 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: heard anything about what Lamar wants. Yeah, he's I don't 481 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: know him very well, and we obviously haven't been around 482 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,239 Speaker 1: him because we don't cover the Ravens. But I just 483 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: get this sense that he keeps a lot of that 484 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: kind of stuff close to the vest, like he doesn't 485 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: talk to anybody, not even his inner circle of people. 486 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: Maybe with the exception of his mom who helps to 487 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: represent him. He and his mom are his agents. Basically, 488 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:49,439 Speaker 1: he yes, that's right, and I just yeah, he's not 489 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: because you know, if he spoke to his buddy and 490 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: his whoever hangs around him, all is closer, like you say, 491 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: is closing or certain it's getting out what he wants 492 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,679 Speaker 1: his agents, so you haven't seen his Yeah, if he 493 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: had an agent, that'll this will let you know how 494 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: much agents have to do with what gets out and 495 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: about back channel stuff. Since he doesn't have an agent, 496 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: none of this ever gets out. And agents don't just 497 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: do it to do it. They do it for a 498 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: reason because as an agent, you gotta say you got 499 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: Mahome's deal or Josh Allen's deal, because an agent already 500 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: always has an agenda. He's got to get stuff. Well. 501 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 1: Plus two, here's the thing too, You want to you 502 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,360 Speaker 1: want to float it out there from some obscure source 503 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: and take the temperature of the room. Yeah, what's everybody 504 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: think about this? As an agent, you don't want to 505 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: go out there and say here, here's our deal. We 506 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: love it, it's awesome, and everybody's going you're an idiot. 507 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: You settled for half of what anybody else was asking 508 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: that kind of thing. They don't want to be embarrassed, 509 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: so an agent will float that out there for that reason, 510 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: but they will also float it out there as public 511 00:28:54,680 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: sentiment to get the fans talking about it. Sign them already, right, 512 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: they're saying this is ridiculous that they haven't signed them. 513 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: So there's reasons they do that. But that's that's agent reasons, 514 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: it's not player reasons. Interesting news item here, this one 515 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter. Our good friend Jordan Palmer, 516 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: who has been on the show. He's Josh Allen's offseason 517 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: quarterbacks guru, also has clients like Sam Darnold, Joe Burrow, 518 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 1: among others. Jordan Palmer has joined the XFL as its 519 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: director of Quarterback Development. How about that this nice title. 520 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: Good for Jordan, And you know that's a smart move 521 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: by the XFL too, because these leagues like the XFL 522 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: and the USFL that are going to be playing in 523 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 1: the spring. I think if anybody watched the USFL thats 524 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: passed off season, you can roundly conclude that the le 525 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: of football is a step or two, maybe more below 526 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: what we see on a weekly basis in the NFL. 527 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: It is a league that needs to develop players to 528 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: make the quality of their on field product better, most 529 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: importantly at the quarterback position. So it's gonna be very 530 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: interesting to see what the XFL sets up with Jordan 531 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: Palmer leading it. You know, from a like does he 532 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: Are they going to send all the quarterbacks to Jordan 533 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: Palmer at his QB summit thing that he runs. I 534 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:32,959 Speaker 1: think that could very well be the case, and he 535 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: tries to equip them with the tools to be better 536 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: players and then hopefully the product on the field for 537 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 1: the XFL is better as a result. He's not a 538 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: quarterback coach for one team. He's the director of quarterback 539 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: development for the league. Yeah. Yeah, I'll say this. I 540 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: when I turn the XFL on, if for only a 541 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: few minutes, I turn it off pretty quickly because I 542 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 1: don't know anybody, well right, I don't. I don't know 543 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 1: a single player on any team, not not even the QBS. 544 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,479 Speaker 1: The QBS maybe once in a while we're like, ah, 545 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: did if I heard of that guy? I seriously have 546 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: to go through those hoops. I'm not doing that watching football. Um. 547 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: The NFL is a star driven league, as is every 548 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: professional sport. You know, you tune in for Lebron and 549 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: kd Staff. In the NBA, football is no different, except 550 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: there's a bunch of more guys and you need a 551 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: lot more of them to win, Right, So you turn 552 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: on those other leagues and it's like, who are these guys? 553 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: And what's the name of this guy's what's the name 554 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: is team? What's the logo? I can't see the logo 555 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: on their home or what's it look like? What is it? 556 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: You know, it's so as good as it sounds, like, Wow, 557 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna have more football. The NFL's got the bar 558 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: pretty high for what we're looking at. Right. Oh yeah, 559 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: the bar is high for football in America. People know 560 00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: what they're looking at, and they know what they're not seeing. 561 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: They miss it. Well, it's at least an attempt to 562 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: raise the level of their product by getting a guy 563 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 1: who has jettison some quarterbacks into superstardom. When you think 564 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: about what Josh Allen has done in the last three 565 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: years and what Joe Burrow did last year in his 566 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: second season the league coming off an ACL injury. So 567 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 1: the proof is in the pudding. So good for Jordan, 568 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: congrats to Henry. We have to take a break here. 569 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: When we come back, we're going to bring you some 570 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: comments from offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, who addressed the media 571 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: prior to today's practice. He had some thoughts on how 572 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: he has felt up in the booth. He was up 573 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 1: there for the Blue and Red practice here at the stadium. 574 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 1: He was also up there last week for the first 575 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 1: preseason game. What did he think about it? You'll find 576 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 1: out next here on one Bill's Live, presented by Kalid 577 00:32:50,560 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: to Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, welcome back 578 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: on Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you here 579 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: on a Tuesday, another day on the practice field for 580 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: the team as they get closer and closer to preseason 581 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: game number two against the Denver Broncos this Saturday, which 582 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: is also the Kids Day Game. One o'clock kickoff, a 583 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: rare afternoon, early afternoon kickoff for a Bill's preseason game, 584 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: So we look forward to that at the end of 585 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 1: the week. Also getting ready for that and reviewing notes 586 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 1: from how preseason game number one went from a communication standpoint, 587 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: from a performance standpoint, from a play call sheet standpoint. 588 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 1: Is Bill's offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, who addressed the media today. 589 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 1: You have. I think it's always helpful. Yeah, anytime you 590 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: can get in that in a preseason situation one to 591 00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: a yeah, exactly, evaluate roster in two for me and 592 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: just calling it and those different situations because so many 593 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: different things come up in the course of those deals 594 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:11,359 Speaker 1: that um, you know, you really can't always predict, you know, so, 595 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,319 Speaker 1: uh it's and and then every week's going to change 596 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 1: based off the defense, so it's not like you're always 597 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,360 Speaker 1: calling the exact same thing. You know, it's going to 598 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 1: be one thing one week and everything that the next week, 599 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 1: So you know, to constantly have to be kind of 600 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 1: adjusting your thought process to one the team you're playing, 601 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 1: to the situation, and three kind of the flow of 602 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: the game and what they're doing. Uh well, is always 603 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 1: great to kind of experience that before the regular season 604 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 1: kicks off. The bluing Red practice. Also for the appreciating 605 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 1: game last week. I hasn't felt that there. I don't 606 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 1: even expect a majority of your Yeah, it's definitely a 607 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 1: different atmosphere. You know, the the vision and being able 608 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: to see is obviously one thing, and then uh um, 609 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 1: you know, being able to kind of spread out and 610 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: call it and everything, so um, there's definitely some some 611 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 1: pros to it. The obviously the cons to it is 612 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: not being able to be down there with the guys 613 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 1: and and that that communication, So the trust of the 614 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 1: coaches on the sideline to deliver um kind of the 615 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 1: feel the guys, you know, the message that guys have, UM, 616 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,840 Speaker 1: what they're seeing on the field, you know, is is critical, 617 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 1: so that that communication is huge when you're up in 618 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:23,320 Speaker 1: the box, we have decided, you know, we haven't decided 619 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 1: on it yet, you know, so um uh the plan 620 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 1: was too but we'll we'll see. I don't I don't 621 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 1: you know, UM, still kind of up in the air. 622 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:37,239 Speaker 1: To be perfectly honest, you learn what you might need 623 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 1: to learn about what it is. Y. Yeah, I feel 624 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: like I got a really good feel of calling it 625 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: from up there, you know, and what it's like after 626 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: like you said, after basically two times doing it, um, 627 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 1: you know so and then I've kind of got a 628 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 1: little bit of a field just from calling it in 629 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: practice situations, you know, and in our call up periods 630 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 1: and stuff from from down on the field. So UM 631 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 1: kind of kind of we're still so into training camp 632 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 1: mode right now of next practice, and then obviously kind 633 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: of getting ready for the next preseason game that haven't 634 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 1: gotten to that step yet of deciding what to do 635 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: in this this game to be up or down. Um 636 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 1: you know, but uh but I feel like I've got 637 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 1: a pretty good feel for for both right now. What 638 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 1: are you saying? Well, it's when things kind of hit 639 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,399 Speaker 1: wall in the yeos challenging in that vein I want 640 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,800 Speaker 1: to be going well where there's benefit to maybe that 641 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 1: little portion of lady versus half when things kind of 642 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 1: slow down to the offense. And to help you learn 643 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: how do you job? Yeah, I think, uh, you know, 644 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 1: anytime you're in just different situations as a play caller, 645 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 1: it's it's helpful. So um, I thought that was that 646 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 1: was good for us. Um you know, how you how 647 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 1: you battle through things, how you um, how you adjust 648 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,440 Speaker 1: as a as a play caller, and uh um to 649 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,879 Speaker 1: kind of get things going and and uh we talk 650 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,239 Speaker 1: about all the time that no matter what it is, 651 00:36:58,239 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 1: through the course of a season, through the course of 652 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:01,880 Speaker 1: the game, there's gonna be highs and lows. It's just 653 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,400 Speaker 1: the keyest staying steady and keep battling to get through it. 654 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 1: And I thought the guys did a heck of a 655 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:13,799 Speaker 1: job of that. Yeah, I mean obviously there were some 656 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 1: there were some good things, and there's some things to 657 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 1: improve on. So um, you know, I thought, uh, both 658 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,960 Speaker 1: had some some really high marks and and both had 659 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,880 Speaker 1: some things we looked at and said, well, you know, 660 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,240 Speaker 1: we could get better here, you know. So UM, I thought, 661 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 1: I'm really happy with kind of the steps that both 662 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 1: these guys are taken, and with the realization that it's 663 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,759 Speaker 1: preseason one and there's still there's still time to get 664 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,880 Speaker 1: better and still time to really kind of take that 665 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: next step. And you know, as we go these next practices, 666 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 1: you know, we're still in training camp, competitive type modes 667 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,239 Speaker 1: where we're going against our defense and it's not a 668 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:52,400 Speaker 1: carded kind of simulated look. So um, that evaluation process 669 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: is still going for everybody on this roster. And I 670 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,840 Speaker 1: think that's that's the great part about our roster and 671 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 1: how we do things. It's the competition is is UH 672 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,800 Speaker 1: is great because of the depth that's been created. You 673 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:07,279 Speaker 1: gotta outline where you are in our install is pretty 674 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 1: much done? Are you just refining now for the regular 675 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 1: season or is there still some install out to finish? Um, 676 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 1: I think there's still a couple of things. You know, 677 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,440 Speaker 1: I think we've got the bulk of of you know, 678 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,319 Speaker 1: the bulk of our offense in um, there's still little 679 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 1: things that, Hey, you see something, you might want to 680 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:25,799 Speaker 1: tweak it, or you might want to add it or 681 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 1: based off of something you're doing. So there's there's always 682 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,720 Speaker 1: that kind of whether it's training camp or in season, 683 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,279 Speaker 1: you know, there's always those types of things. And I 684 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 1: think it's good for the players to you know, one, 685 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,359 Speaker 1: you're you're refining what you're doing, but also, hey, throw 686 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 1: something new at them. Um, you know, see how they 687 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,399 Speaker 1: adjust to it, see what they can handle, and um, 688 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 1: go out and do it just like you would during 689 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 1: a season. It's really good. Yeah. Yeah, And where are 690 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 1: you on kind of pre stretched one into a gay 691 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 1: and change. Yeah. I don't think it changes preseason or 692 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,360 Speaker 1: regular season. I think you go in and I had 693 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,080 Speaker 1: a good idea of what I wanted to do, what 694 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,440 Speaker 1: I wanted to call as early calls. To me, the 695 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: biggest the biggest factor of whether it's the first drive 696 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 1: or the tenth drive of hey, get the play in 697 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 1: nice and quick to them so they got plenty of time. 698 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 1: We're not getting breaking the huddle at ten seconds rushing 699 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 1: the line, you know, and I think we did a 700 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,320 Speaker 1: good job of that in that first drive. The tempo 701 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 1: was really good, and now the huddle was really good, 702 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:34,680 Speaker 1: substitutions were really good. So I felt great about just 703 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,200 Speaker 1: kind of where we were, and then obviously, you know, 704 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:38,719 Speaker 1: we just want to be able to finish that off 705 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,880 Speaker 1: in the end, all right. So that's offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey. 706 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 1: One portion of his comments that we did not play 707 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:51,840 Speaker 1: for you there dealt with Khalil Shakier, and he basically 708 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:58,120 Speaker 1: said he did not believe Shakier had a single mental 709 00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,520 Speaker 1: error in the entire preseason game, and he lined them 710 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 1: up in multiple places through the course of the game. 711 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,760 Speaker 1: He said, it's just very impressive to see a rookie 712 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:11,120 Speaker 1: be that on top of his stuff this early in 713 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, that's why he's a sharp tag. That's 714 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,919 Speaker 1: why Gabe Davis ascended and got on the field. Yeah, 715 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:21,000 Speaker 1: you know, that's that's why it's hard. And I'll say 716 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,960 Speaker 1: this too, it's trite, and it's a little bit you know, Redunc. 717 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 1: I don't know where to read the trite. I guess 718 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 1: it's overdone stereotype that kids come out and you got 719 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 1: these kids growing up and they say, I'll do anything 720 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 1: to play in the NFL. I'll do anything. I mean 721 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 1: ill and they will the lift weights, run hards up. 722 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,920 Speaker 1: But they won't teach themselves by going to class how 723 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,759 Speaker 1: to learn in a classroom setting. Yeah, So you got 724 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,240 Speaker 1: guys like getting cut because they can't pick up the playbook. 725 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 1: And you got guys like Gabe Davis and Khalil Shaker 726 00:40:55,920 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 1: blossom because they can, you know, a class these players, 727 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,920 Speaker 1: it was this was true in my era, let alone. 728 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:06,560 Speaker 1: Now these players now spend more time in meeting rooms, 729 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,920 Speaker 1: watching film and in a classroom setting that you do 730 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,320 Speaker 1: on the football field. Because the game is that developed 731 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 1: and that intricate, they spend more time in the classroom. 732 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,279 Speaker 1: And you tell some of these guys coming out and 733 00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,879 Speaker 1: they're you know, they've been they've been the best player 734 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 1: on their team since they were eight years old. Now 735 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,839 Speaker 1: they're now, they're eighteen, now they're twenty two coming out 736 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,279 Speaker 1: of college, and they figured it's just gonna keep going. 737 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,880 Speaker 1: They never had to sit and learn and fight to 738 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,239 Speaker 1: get better. Yeah, and they don't know how to do it. 739 00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:42,120 Speaker 1: So you get guys like Khalil Shakir who he tests okay, physically, 740 00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 1: but on but in the classroom and all this other 741 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,279 Speaker 1: stuff that they're doing, he excels. So when he comes 742 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 1: in here, all of a sudden, he's light years ahead 743 00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,759 Speaker 1: of you know, guys like me who came in and 744 00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,360 Speaker 1: I was like, what, you know, well, what do we do? 745 00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 1: It sounds a lot like to Ryle Bernard also, Yeah, 746 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 1: so this Pacific genotype that the Bills are looking for, 747 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,560 Speaker 1: they call it the DNA all the time. Problem is 748 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 1: that's an example of it. Now other teams are gonna 749 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,480 Speaker 1: start looking forward to harder to find the giant's going 750 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 1: to be doing it, you know, and you know maybe 751 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:18,480 Speaker 1: the up until recently the Panthers were doing it that 752 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:23,919 Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, it's it's real. It's real. You're trying. 753 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,279 Speaker 1: You're not just talking about skill sets that happen on 754 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 1: the field. You're talking about skill sets that allow you 755 00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:32,040 Speaker 1: to get there, sitting in class, watching something on film 756 00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,719 Speaker 1: on tape, watching a guy write it on the right 757 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,560 Speaker 1: white board, looking at it on a piece of paper, 758 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 1: diagram talking about it, trying getting yourself used to learning 759 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:45,640 Speaker 1: that way just set you apart. And some guys are 760 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:47,680 Speaker 1: good at and some guys aren't, And it's clearly said 761 00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:53,080 Speaker 1: Khalil shakirapart on the offensive side of the ball. Dorsey 762 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,239 Speaker 1: also said that he has not yet made a call 763 00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 1: on where he will be situated for the next preseason 764 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,279 Speaker 1: game on Saturday Day. They have to go over that 765 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,840 Speaker 1: with the coaching staff to determine whether he will be 766 00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 1: up in the coach's booth or try the sideline this 767 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,000 Speaker 1: time around. But he did say, as you heard him 768 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,719 Speaker 1: answer there the question that I asked, that he has 769 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,799 Speaker 1: learned everything he needs to know about what it takes 770 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 1: to call a game upstairs. So the question now is 771 00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,279 Speaker 1: will he go back downstairs and see which one he 772 00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 1: likes better. That remains to be seen. We'll probably get 773 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,879 Speaker 1: that answer at the end of is what he learned 774 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,359 Speaker 1: upstairs better than what he knows about being better for him, 775 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 1: better for the offense, better for there's play call. Now 776 00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:33,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna make that judgment call. Yeah, those are all 777 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,840 Speaker 1: the things that they'll have to weigh out between now 778 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:37,960 Speaker 1: and the start of the regular season. Break time for 779 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,560 Speaker 1: us here when we come back, we will get some 780 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,960 Speaker 1: of your thoughts on the tweet sheet as we are 781 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:47,360 Speaker 1: asking you today.

He kicked it about 816 00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,080 Speaker 1: eighty two yards in the air, but because of the 817 00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,040 Speaker 1: line scrimmage, they take that off the length of the 818 00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,160 Speaker 1: kick and landed on the nine yard line when he 819 00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,439 Speaker 1: kicked it. He kicked it from about the nine yard 820 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:16,480 Speaker 1: line and it ended up being a net, well a 821 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,640 Speaker 1: net or nos eighty two net sixty two. So he 822 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:22,520 Speaker 1: kicks it from what right there? He kicks it from 823 00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:26,839 Speaker 1: the eight yard line and it lands literally well at 824 00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,759 Speaker 1: the eleven I guess. So you know, he kicked it 825 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,000 Speaker 1: eighty yards in the air from the where it left 826 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,080 Speaker 1: his foot, but it counts as an eighty two yard 827 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,200 Speaker 1: gross punt sixty two net coming out to the twenty. 828 00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 1: It was unbelievable. I tweeted it. My favorite part about 829 00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,759 Speaker 1: the whole damn play was watching Dallas Flowers, the return man, 830 00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:49,480 Speaker 1: scramble like like a center fielder who had misjudged a 831 00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,960 Speaker 1: line drive. Yeah, it's like, oh crap, that's over my head. 832 00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,040 Speaker 1: He got bailed out by the fact that it did 833 00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,040 Speaker 1: reach the end zone, because if it didn't look at that, 834 00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,680 Speaker 1: dude was screwed. It was like two yards deep. I 835 00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:04,719 Speaker 1: mean it bounced, bounce, bounce, but it stopped on its own, 836 00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,319 Speaker 1: and it stopped only like a couple of yards deep 837 00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:11,719 Speaker 1: in the end zone. So if they wouldn't have if 838 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:13,640 Speaker 1: they would have taken a five yard loss on the 839 00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:17,680 Speaker 1: play before that, and he hits that kick. It's a net. 840 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:24,080 Speaker 1: It's a net. Eighty five yard punt. Yeah, that set 841 00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,200 Speaker 1: chip for a couple of weeks. Man right there. Tell 842 00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,840 Speaker 1: you though, that thing doesn't reach the end zone, Dallas 843 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:32,319 Speaker 1: Flowers is screwed. Yeah, yeah, But I first he's got 844 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:34,520 Speaker 1: to get to the ball. He backs up a little, 845 00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,600 Speaker 1: turns his hips and runs and he's like, and I'll 846 00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,880 Speaker 1: say this too. There's a lot of conversation both in 847 00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:43,759 Speaker 1: fans and also in football in the football world, in 848 00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:47,279 Speaker 1: coaching offices and coaching meetings and players and locker rooms, 849 00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:50,360 Speaker 1: they talk about this a lot. What's what do you 850 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,600 Speaker 1: want a punterer to do? Do you want him to 851 00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:54,520 Speaker 1: rock it one out like that? Certainly it's fun to 852 00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:56,960 Speaker 1: watch eighty two and sixty two yard net. Yeah, you'll 853 00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,279 Speaker 1: take that all day, every day. But in a real 854 00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,120 Speaker 1: world when it's gonna be a little bit less than 855 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,279 Speaker 1: that or a little bit different than that, do you 856 00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:06,839 Speaker 1: want the guy to put the ball up in the air? 857 00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:10,520 Speaker 1: That ball? The reason that guy couldn't feel that punt, Brownie, 858 00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,560 Speaker 1: was because it was getting there so fast. He turned 859 00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,279 Speaker 1: his hips and ran the balls past him, so he 860 00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:19,319 Speaker 1: couldn't even get back to field it. And he can say, well, 861 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:23,480 Speaker 1: what if he lined up different deeper? Yeah, maybe, but 862 00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:25,719 Speaker 1: the ball was in the air like nothing. It was 863 00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:29,240 Speaker 1: like up and down quick. It was a line shot, 864 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:33,279 Speaker 1: a rocket, And there's pluses and minuses of that. If 865 00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,640 Speaker 1: the guy catches that on the fly, that's not a 866 00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,040 Speaker 1: sixty two yard net punt. It's more like a fifty 867 00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:42,120 Speaker 1: yard punt, and which is still great. But if he's 868 00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:45,879 Speaker 1: got the ball and catches that after it goes eighty 869 00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,800 Speaker 1: yards in the air and runs it back thirty yards 870 00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,960 Speaker 1: and it's a net fifty yard punt, here's the problem. 871 00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,479 Speaker 1: You say, well, net fifty yard that's great. That's because 872 00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,520 Speaker 1: you've never had to chase the guy down for that 873 00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:01,560 Speaker 1: thirty yards. What if I to tackle he goes the distance, 874 00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:03,719 Speaker 1: then who cares? If your boy hit an eighty two 875 00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,840 Speaker 1: yards for him to operate? Yeah, it ain't easy to 876 00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,160 Speaker 1: track those guys. They put those guys back there catching 877 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,680 Speaker 1: punch because they're they're pretty good. I chased a bunch 878 00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,640 Speaker 1: of them in my life. They put those guys back 879 00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,200 Speaker 1: there because they're special. I want no part of that. 880 00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,239 Speaker 1: If I'm covering that, I want a fat guy back there. 881 00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:26,000 Speaker 1: I want a fat, slow, short guy who can't run? 882 00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,160 Speaker 1: How was it would it be in the preseason? Just 883 00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,560 Speaker 1: for goofs if somebody put like a big old line, 884 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,600 Speaker 1: anybody I say now is going to be construted to that. 885 00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:35,040 Speaker 1: That's not what I'm saying. But you know you put 886 00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:38,560 Speaker 1: some guy, fine, put a put a guy who can't 887 00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,560 Speaker 1: run back there. They don't do that. So if you're 888 00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:44,080 Speaker 1: gonna let the guy catch it with me chasing him 889 00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,200 Speaker 1: and I'm already fifteen twenty yards away from I'm running, 890 00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,560 Speaker 1: I'm on my horse hitting him with a riding crop, 891 00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,879 Speaker 1: trying to get there fast, and he got the ball 892 00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,160 Speaker 1: coming at me, and we got like an open field 893 00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:58,920 Speaker 1: between us. You know I don't want that. I might 894 00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:03,520 Speaker 1: get a touchdown. You don't give up a touchdown when 895 00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:05,960 Speaker 1: the guy's waving his head over his hand over his 896 00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,239 Speaker 1: head calling for a fair catch. You'll never get a 897 00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:12,839 Speaker 1: touchdown doing that, right, So there's the philosophy difference you've got. 898 00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:16,960 Speaker 1: Do you have a guy like Matt Ariza spank in 899 00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:20,080 Speaker 1: one eighty two yards once in a while, but then 900 00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,560 Speaker 1: once in a while he hits a wobbler thirty three 901 00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:26,399 Speaker 1: yards and it's and it's got zero hang time. That's 902 00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:30,960 Speaker 1: a problem. That's a problem. Now, can Matt Hawk hit 903 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:35,160 Speaker 1: it forty five yards with five point zero two hang 904 00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 1: time and have three guys in the other on your 905 00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,239 Speaker 1: team standing around the guy when he catches it so 906 00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,960 Speaker 1: he fair catches everything. Then you get an all the 907 00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:48,439 Speaker 1: time net forty five. That's world class. That's like better 908 00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,840 Speaker 1: than anybody's ever done in the league. Now can you 909 00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,960 Speaker 1: do that and then you never, not even once give 910 00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,359 Speaker 1: up any possibility that they're gonna get a touchdown out 911 00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,839 Speaker 1: of it. There's the two sided coins of it, Matt, 912 00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,759 Speaker 1: I mean, now, Matt arise even on me. I was like, 913 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:04,440 Speaker 1: I was kind of you know, I kind of got 914 00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,800 Speaker 1: goose pimples watching that punt. It was like fun, I 915 00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,319 Speaker 1: get it. So there's some of that and yeah, I'm 916 00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:13,880 Speaker 1: I'm I'm with you on it. But there's two sides 917 00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:15,440 Speaker 1: of that coin, and you know, you gotta have a 918 00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:20,320 Speaker 1: conversation about it. Yea. Or can he control his distance 919 00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,920 Speaker 1: where he doesn't OutKick his coverage, like maybe he just 920 00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:28,239 Speaker 1: hits it nine instead of a hundred? Yeah, how good 921 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,080 Speaker 1: is he? You know? Can he kick? Now? Can he 922 00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,800 Speaker 1: engage it and scale it back? Can he can he 923 00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,320 Speaker 1: spank one outside the numbers and do that, you know, 924 00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:37,960 Speaker 1: can he put it high and short? Can he tumble 925 00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:42,239 Speaker 1: it in there? Can? Yeah? Can you do that? We're 926 00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:44,840 Speaker 1: not And if you can, how often can you do 927 00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,160 Speaker 1: it one hundred percent of the time? Or like? Yeah, 928 00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:49,680 Speaker 1: these are the things they're trying to find out about. 929 00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:51,800 Speaker 1: That's right. So there's a lot of questions. Now. Certainly 930 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,799 Speaker 1: the guy proven once and for all, he's got all 931 00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,520 Speaker 1: the leg you're ever gonna need. All right, there's one. 932 00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,719 Speaker 1: There's one, there's one box, there's your jumping off point. Yeah, 933 00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:02,840 Speaker 1: there's a boy. What else can he do? Yeah? All right, 934 00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:04,319 Speaker 1: so let's see if you can check the rest of them? 935 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:08,919 Speaker 1: Break time for us here speaking of rookies, rookie linebackers 936 00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,359 Speaker 1: to Rayle Bernard and Bale Inspector address the media after 937 00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,120 Speaker 1: practice today. We're gonna bring you some of their comments 938 00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,680 Speaker 1: to you next here on One Bill's Live, presented by 939 00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:37,800 Speaker 1: Klaud of Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. At a Steve 940 00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:41,360 Speaker 1: Tasker who has been all over the fields. Kind of unique. 941 00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,600 Speaker 1: He was kind of a dual role player for you, Stave, 942 00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:51,040 Speaker 1: Steve a blimp. We're not even in the stratosphere of normalcy, 943 00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:57,719 Speaker 1: all right, there we are our number two Chris Brown. 944 00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:02,520 Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you as we get yet for well 945 00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:07,360 Speaker 1: to hear from the linebacker Steve. Both rookie linebackers Terrell 946 00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:14,359 Speaker 1: Bernard and Baylen Spector had good debut performances in their 947 00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:18,719 Speaker 1: first preseason game last week for the Bills, and they 948 00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:24,120 Speaker 1: both addressed the media after practice. Today, we begin with 949 00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:27,320 Speaker 1: the third round pick Terrell Bernard. So here he is 950 00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:31,440 Speaker 1: addressing the media after Tuesday's practice. Well, now they have 951 00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:35,040 Speaker 1: one preseason game under your belt, how are you approaching 952 00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:38,360 Speaker 1: practices this week leading into your second preseason game? Is 953 00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,560 Speaker 1: there anything you're focusing on in specifics? Yeah, I think 954 00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:44,560 Speaker 1: you know, just details of the defense and really understanding 955 00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,200 Speaker 1: my assignment and then you know every everybody else's assignment 956 00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:50,040 Speaker 1: around me. You know, you really get to see kind 957 00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:53,040 Speaker 1: of what you don't know during a game. So you know, 958 00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:54,719 Speaker 1: it's a good opportunity for me to learn and then 959 00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:57,600 Speaker 1: you know, come out here and cracks some things that 960 00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:01,359 Speaker 1: you didn't know. Really, just the deep That's what I'm 961 00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:03,680 Speaker 1: talking about, really, just the details of the defense. Um, 962 00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:06,600 Speaker 1: not just knowing what I have, but expecting, you know, 963 00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:08,640 Speaker 1: what the offense is trying to attack and what calls 964 00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:11,920 Speaker 1: were in the situation, things like that. So you know, experience, 965 00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:15,600 Speaker 1: uh always helps with that. So learning and growing every day. 966 00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:18,920 Speaker 1: Knowe as a cover linebacker and if you will come 967 00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:20,840 Speaker 1: out of college, what's the difference covering tight ends of 968 00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:24,160 Speaker 1: this level and covering tight ends of the last level? Yeah, 969 00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,160 Speaker 1: I think, uh, you know, just athleticism. That's really one 970 00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:28,960 Speaker 1: of the main things that sticks out to me, especially 971 00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,680 Speaker 1: with tight ends. Um. You know, in college, you know, 972 00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:33,600 Speaker 1: you can kind kind of get some big, slow guys 973 00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:35,880 Speaker 1: or you get smaller, just speedy guys. But you know, 974 00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:38,560 Speaker 1: at this level, it's it's a combination of both. Um. 975 00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:42,560 Speaker 1: So I think really just understanding leverage, understanding you know, 976 00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:45,000 Speaker 1: what they're what the offense is trying to attack. I 977 00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:46,840 Speaker 1: think that's one thing that's that's really gonna help me 978 00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:53,239 Speaker 1: out breaking down film, how you go through post games 979 00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:55,879 Speaker 1: stuff and into practice next week. Is there any big 980 00:54:55,920 --> 00:55:00,319 Speaker 1: differences from college football to the nfl U. I don't 981 00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:03,120 Speaker 1: think so. I mean, it's it's football at the end 982 00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:04,960 Speaker 1: of the day. Um, I feel like I have a 983 00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:08,440 Speaker 1: solid process that I go through daily and weekly, and 984 00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,320 Speaker 1: you know, coming in here doing the same thing that 985 00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:13,760 Speaker 1: I did at Baylor and really just you know, learning 986 00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:16,719 Speaker 1: and understanding. You know, obviously the offenses are a little 987 00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,120 Speaker 1: bit different in the in the league compared to college. 988 00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:21,800 Speaker 1: Um So I think just understanding that and then you know, 989 00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:24,000 Speaker 1: changing my approach a little bit. But you know, I'm 990 00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:28,759 Speaker 1: sticking to what I know. If your size or under 991 00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:32,880 Speaker 1: size for the position and graphic, what would be your 992 00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:35,719 Speaker 1: response to see that now? And then how that plays 993 00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,239 Speaker 1: the goal is where you're able to play your kind 994 00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:40,840 Speaker 1: of food that movie. I mean, yeah, it's kind of 995 00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:42,440 Speaker 1: always been a thing. You know. I know that I'm 996 00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:44,320 Speaker 1: under size, and I know you know what I have 997 00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,279 Speaker 1: to do to work around that. Um but you know, 998 00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:48,960 Speaker 1: coming in, you know, I get to model my game 999 00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,160 Speaker 1: after guys that are are similar sized to me that 1000 00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:53,759 Speaker 1: are here right now. UM So I think, you know, 1001 00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:55,800 Speaker 1: coming in and understanding what I'm good at and what 1002 00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:57,359 Speaker 1: I need to work on, and then you know how 1003 00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:01,640 Speaker 1: to use you know, my abilities. Uh you know, really really, 1004 00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:05,239 Speaker 1: um just take control over my game and you know 1005 00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:06,840 Speaker 1: what I can do. I think that's that's the main 1006 00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:10,760 Speaker 1: thing that I'm going to focus on. Wait, get around 1007 00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:14,360 Speaker 1: your size pla level. It was different here at the 1008 00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:16,440 Speaker 1: NFL level of the size of a lot of players 1009 00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:20,440 Speaker 1: ends what mak Yeah, I think really your knowledge for 1010 00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:23,920 Speaker 1: the game, instincts, and then understanding the playbook and understanding 1011 00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,000 Speaker 1: you know, your job and just you know, figuring out 1012 00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,000 Speaker 1: ways to get it done. I feel like that's something 1013 00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:29,880 Speaker 1: that I had to do through high school, through college 1014 00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:31,920 Speaker 1: and then now in the NFL. UM. So you know, 1015 00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:45,200 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just gonna continue to do that.

I watched it a couple 1034 00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,120 Speaker 1: of times, I think, you know, one time right after 1035 00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:40,640 Speaker 1: the game and then you know, obviously in the film room. Um, 1036 00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:43,439 Speaker 1: you know, kind of kind of just a neat moment 1037 00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:45,320 Speaker 1: for myself, you know, just to you know, do that 1038 00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:47,280 Speaker 1: in the first NFL game, and you know it kind 1039 00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:49,320 Speaker 1: of gets some experience underneath my belt. So I think 1040 00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:54,439 Speaker 1: I think it was a good opportunity for me. Yeah, 1041 00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:59,720 Speaker 1: a lot of those, a lot of those. Yeah, it 1042 00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:01,880 Speaker 1: was awesome. You know, it felt like a video game. 1043 00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:04,080 Speaker 1: You know, you kind of you're there and then all 1044 00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:05,680 Speaker 1: out of nowhere, you know, you see the ball pop 1045 00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:07,920 Speaker 1: up and you know, you just take it. Kind of 1046 00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:09,640 Speaker 1: got a little gas towards the end the end of 1047 00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:12,880 Speaker 1: the run there. Um, but definitely definitely a cool moment 1048 00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:19,720 Speaker 1: and you know something I'll remember the rest of my life. Actually, Yeah, 1049 00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:22,880 Speaker 1: I mean everybody was excited. Um. That's one of the 1050 00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:24,880 Speaker 1: things we talked about on defense is taken away and 1051 00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:26,960 Speaker 1: then you know, scoring scoring the ball when you do 1052 00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:29,440 Speaker 1: take it away. So obviously, you know, it was a 1053 00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:38,560 Speaker 1: pretty cool moment, I think. So, I mean, just getting 1054 00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:40,800 Speaker 1: a game underneath my belt makes me feel a little 1055 00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:44,240 Speaker 1: bit more comfortable in general. Um, you know, obviously a 1056 00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:46,320 Speaker 1: lot of things that we got to work on, specifically 1057 00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:48,720 Speaker 1: myself that I got to work on. Uh, so you know, 1058 00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:50,440 Speaker 1: coming out to practice and you know, getting ready for 1059 00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:53,520 Speaker 1: next week. Uper gaff at the end of that play, 1060 00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:56,760 Speaker 1: when Sean mentioned afterwards that you didn't want to fit out, 1061 00:58:56,920 --> 00:59:01,480 Speaker 1: I gonnack park take us through that transition and why 1062 00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:03,600 Speaker 1: you were so eiler to get back out. I think 1063 00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:05,680 Speaker 1: just you know, having as many opportunities to show what 1064 00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:07,960 Speaker 1: I can do. Um, you know, obviously I want to 1065 00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:09,760 Speaker 1: make the team. I'm a rookie coming in so doing 1066 00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:13,040 Speaker 1: you know, whatever it takes, special teams, going back on defense, 1067 00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:17,160 Speaker 1: anything anything that I can do, having a fellow rookie 1068 00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:19,280 Speaker 1: in your position group and learn anything together the defense 1069 00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:21,360 Speaker 1: stuff like that. Yeah, definitely, you know, me and Bylen 1070 00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:24,240 Speaker 1: spent a lot of time together m learning the defense obviously, 1071 00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:26,600 Speaker 1: and then uh, you know, just outside of football, you know, 1072 00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:29,440 Speaker 1: figuring stuff out, and you know I'm definitely thankful that 1073 00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:31,320 Speaker 1: that he's going through it with me, and you know, 1074 00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:37,280 Speaker 1: we're kind of kind of growing together. Balan, Yeah, Balan's 1075 00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:39,800 Speaker 1: a really you know, calm dude. Uh, he's a he's 1076 00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:41,800 Speaker 1: a good person to be around. Um, you know, he's 1077 00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:44,320 Speaker 1: he's become one of my good friends and somebody that 1078 00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:46,640 Speaker 1: I turned into a lot and you know, difficult situations 1079 00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:48,880 Speaker 1: since I've been here. So it's been really awesome to 1080 00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:53,520 Speaker 1: have him and looking forward to in this next preseason game. Uh, 1081 00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:55,680 Speaker 1: just you know, completing my assignments and doing what I'm 1082 00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:58,280 Speaker 1: supposed to do. Um. Obviously going out there and making plays, 1083 00:59:58,360 --> 00:59:59,440 Speaker 1: but you know, at the end of the day, just 1084 00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:03,280 Speaker 1: playing fast. I was playing physical and playing smart, all right. 1085 01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:06,280 Speaker 1: So those are the thoughts of Terrell Bernard, especially after 1086 01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:09,480 Speaker 1: his big play, probably the biggest player in the game, 1087 01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:12,840 Speaker 1: sixty nine yard fumble return for a touchdown. Do you 1088 01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:15,640 Speaker 1: remember what you did in your first preseason game that 1089 01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:17,480 Speaker 1: was the Hall of Fame game, wasn't Yeah? I had 1090 01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:20,040 Speaker 1: a nice kick a couple of nice kick return kickoff returns, 1091 01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:21,920 Speaker 1: played the New York Giants. Who was in the Hall 1092 01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:24,919 Speaker 1: of Fame game? If you remember that stuff, right, I'll 1093 01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,959 Speaker 1: remember this. Yeah, I remember, Yeah, yeah, Oh you're gonna 1094 01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:31,160 Speaker 1: remember it. I remember I was back to return the 1095 01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:34,200 Speaker 1: opening kickoff in the Hall of Fame game. I was. 1096 01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:38,480 Speaker 1: I caught it eight yards deep and my teammates had 1097 01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:40,440 Speaker 1: to stop me from running it out because I was 1098 01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:46,880 Speaker 1: bringing it out. So yeah, Spector Bernard is gonna return, 1099 01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,480 Speaker 1: is gonna remember this and and shoot all of us 1100 01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:51,520 Speaker 1: will That's awesome. Man. The guy might be a bill 1101 01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:56,400 Speaker 1: for fifteen years. We don't know. Um, it's it's a 1102 01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:58,960 Speaker 1: big deal. It's a big deal. It's not nothing. And 1103 01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:01,880 Speaker 1: he did it against the number one offense of the 1104 01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:06,800 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts right out of the gate for his NFL career. 1105 01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:09,680 Speaker 1: That's something. How about the burst of Boogie bashed him 1106 01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:12,720 Speaker 1: off the edge on that. We talked about forgotten Boogie 1107 01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,480 Speaker 1: changing his body composition in the offseason. He told us 1108 01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:19,200 Speaker 1: last year he played around two sixty eight, two seventy two. 1109 01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:22,520 Speaker 1: He's down to about two fifty five two fifty eight. 1110 01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:25,400 Speaker 1: And I remember we had a Japanessa in the spring 1111 01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:28,600 Speaker 1: at the lecture and addressing the media, and he said, 1112 01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:31,439 Speaker 1: you can see a difference in his getoff. You saw 1113 01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:34,200 Speaker 1: it on that play. Yeah, he was out of that 1114 01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:36,920 Speaker 1: stance like a shot. That's amazing you say that. We've 1115 01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:39,120 Speaker 1: been talking about Bernard picking this up and running in. 1116 01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:43,440 Speaker 1: Boogie is the playmaker? Yeah, and that was a great 1117 01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:46,880 Speaker 1: rush off the right side, and and it was it 1118 01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:50,160 Speaker 1: was that was not just a tap got a piece 1119 01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:52,000 Speaker 1: of the ball. That was a whack. Oh no, he 1120 01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:54,880 Speaker 1: knocked him into Matt Ryan. Matt Ryan was like, oooh, 1121 01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,800 Speaker 1: you know that was a hit and Boogie that was 1122 01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:05,479 Speaker 1: We forget about that, but certainly my meaning he got 1123 01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:08,200 Speaker 1: him and it was a great sack strip fumble. Was 1124 01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:11,280 Speaker 1: there Foles that might have been Foles? Who it was 1125 01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:15,200 Speaker 1: Nick Foles? Okay, yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't Matt Ryan's 1126 01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:21,720 Speaker 1: Nick Foles, but it was Boogie. Yes, And that is 1127 01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:25,320 Speaker 1: a great play, great play. And then Bernard was just 1128 01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:27,320 Speaker 1: in the right plays at the right time and then 1129 01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:30,360 Speaker 1: knew what to do when he scooped it up. So yeah, 1130 01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:34,360 Speaker 1: good opening performance by him. His fellow rookie lineback, he'd 1131 01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:37,200 Speaker 1: already heard. They spend a lot of time studying together 1132 01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:41,840 Speaker 1: to kind of master this playbook. Defensively, so Bayalin Specter, 1133 01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:44,520 Speaker 1: who I think opened a lot of eyes of Bill's 1134 01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:46,320 Speaker 1: fans based on the callers we had on the show 1135 01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:52,160 Speaker 1: yesterday has availed himself quite well in preseason game play. 1136 01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:54,880 Speaker 1: Can he do it again on Saturday? We'll find out. 1137 01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:58,520 Speaker 1: But in the meantime, here is Bayle in spector. How 1138 01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:02,520 Speaker 1: much does it help having Final in that lineback? Were 1139 01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:04,520 Speaker 1: just trying to go through some of the learning, learn 1140 01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:08,920 Speaker 1: and growing. It definitely helps having TV super hard worker, 1141 01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:12,760 Speaker 1: smart player. So just like having him to ask questions, uh, 1142 01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:14,520 Speaker 1: to like be able to go to the veteran guys, 1143 01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:17,200 Speaker 1: both of us to like sit down in the film 1144 01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:20,400 Speaker 1: room like by ourselves like outside, just like call each 1145 01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:23,520 Speaker 1: other up, like look, uh, we like share knowledge to 1146 01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:26,120 Speaker 1: each other, just pick each other's brains. It helps a 1147 01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:30,760 Speaker 1: lot um with just understanding the scheme and especially trying 1148 01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:38,840 Speaker 1: to learn all different positions. It was pretty quick. It 1149 01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:41,480 Speaker 1: was more just because I think it all like jumped 1150 01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:43,320 Speaker 1: on us so quick in the spring and then we 1151 01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:45,800 Speaker 1: were like all right, like like to get this, we're 1152 01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:48,360 Speaker 1: gonna have to work like work together and share what 1153 01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:53,000 Speaker 1: we know, and uh, it came along pretty quick. It's 1154 01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:56,320 Speaker 1: been good. From spring to fall camp to training camp. 1155 01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:58,480 Speaker 1: It was it was good. Got like time to kind 1156 01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:00,200 Speaker 1: of like settle and then go back into it and 1157 01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:03,040 Speaker 1: like really dive deep and understand like the little details 1158 01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:06,200 Speaker 1: of the defense. I think you've had time to look 1159 01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:08,400 Speaker 1: at the film from the first preseason game. How would 1160 01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:11,520 Speaker 1: you evaluate your first game out there? It was good. 1161 01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:13,040 Speaker 1: There's a lot of things I can correct a lot 1162 01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:16,240 Speaker 1: of like little small things details, alignments that I gotta 1163 01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:18,560 Speaker 1: get better at um and I'll continue to just get 1164 01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:24,000 Speaker 1: better at and just understanding better situations things with scheme wise, 1165 01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:28,200 Speaker 1: knowing who's around me, knowing where my help is, and understanding, 1166 01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:30,600 Speaker 1: like I said, just the small details of the defense 1167 01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:32,920 Speaker 1: and going out there and executing that do not hear 1168 01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:35,080 Speaker 1: practices and doing it again next time I get the 1169 01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:39,800 Speaker 1: opportunity to play anything in that game that felt like 1170 01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:42,600 Speaker 1: it was a big difference from college football, since you're fine, 1171 01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:47,600 Speaker 1: finally out there getting some live reps. Um, No, nothing crazy. 1172 01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:51,400 Speaker 1: It was still just football. Still get the call, still 1173 01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:54,320 Speaker 1: relay the message, Still get everyone lined up, set the front. 1174 01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:59,800 Speaker 1: It's it's it's very similar, but it gets a just 1175 01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:01,360 Speaker 1: think you're just a little bit of the speed of 1176 01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:04,200 Speaker 1: the game, especially from spring to now, but that's starting 1177 01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:06,320 Speaker 1: to slow down and me and TB are doing a 1178 01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:14,080 Speaker 1: really good job that. Um, I mean it's just it's 1179 01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:16,520 Speaker 1: just football, end of the day. Nothing crazy. Like I said, 1180 01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:18,800 Speaker 1: we're just taking a day by day. We'll continue to 1181 01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:23,080 Speaker 1: get better. Just the small things linebacker, like, like, how 1182 01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:26,080 Speaker 1: would you describe the It's great. I like our linebacker 1183 01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:29,720 Speaker 1: group a lot. All the veterans are super cool, super chill. Uh. 1184 01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:32,520 Speaker 1: They help you with whatever it might be, if it's 1185 01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:35,320 Speaker 1: off the field or on the field, in the locker room. Uh, 1186 01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:38,680 Speaker 1: defense like scheme wise, they'll answer any of the questions. Um, 1187 01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:43,440 Speaker 1: they're all there to help. I'm enjoying a lot.

Where 1191 01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:55,160 Speaker 1: do you go to eat? Stuff like that, especially since 1192 01:05:55,240 --> 01:06:02,960 Speaker 1: we're new. Spot shunning. My favorite spot is definitely a barbell. Yeah. 1193 01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:07,880 Speaker 1: Uh the honey barb Cajun honey barbecue. Yeah, it's pretty good. 1194 01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:19,240 Speaker 1: Uh like one or two inches of snow. Nothing crazy. No, Um, 1195 01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:23,560 Speaker 1: haven't had haven't experienced a big winner at all, but 1196 01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:31,440 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to it. I'm excited. Yeah. Do you 1197 01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:34,320 Speaker 1: like being a linebacker in this defense? This defense plays 1198 01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:36,840 Speaker 1: a lot of Nickel. Um, so there are some big 1199 01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:39,560 Speaker 1: responsibilities on the linebackers when they're in there. Why do 1200 01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:42,480 Speaker 1: you like playing in a type of defense like this? Um? 1201 01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:44,880 Speaker 1: It was very similar to what I had in college. Uh. 1202 01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:47,800 Speaker 1: I enjoy being able to make the calls, like understanding 1203 01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:51,280 Speaker 1: like who's with me? Um, understanding d lines, front stuff 1204 01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:56,320 Speaker 1: like that, how things change on snap formations. Um, just 1205 01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:59,360 Speaker 1: being able to play a lot of my college schemes 1206 01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,040 Speaker 1: like and Clemson was super complex. We had a lot 1207 01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:04,480 Speaker 1: of a lot of stuff going on. Uh here you're 1208 01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:07,400 Speaker 1: you're able to play your game and uh like still 1209 01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:11,080 Speaker 1: be able to control the defense, make calls. You're playing 1210 01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:13,480 Speaker 1: the last game as a year, turn on on Saturday 1211 01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:16,760 Speaker 1: afternoon against Toronto. It's all of our turns. We're continue 1212 01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:19,520 Speaker 1: to make plays, all the linebackers. Someone will get one soon. 1213 01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:22,720 Speaker 1: And uh yeah, I was super excited to watch TV though. 1214 01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:25,560 Speaker 1: That was that was awesome. First game first a touchdown? 1215 01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:29,720 Speaker 1: That was that was awesome? Would him played one game 1216 01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:34,120 Speaker 1: against James cor correct? Yeah, I'd like for you. Sorry 1217 01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:37,280 Speaker 1: for him question? Uh, we knew they were a very 1218 01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:41,040 Speaker 1: very good team, uh coming coming back. Um, they knew 1219 01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:46,000 Speaker 1: they would be very just physical downhill him another guy, 1220 01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:48,680 Speaker 1: other running back they had would be a good duo. Um, 1221 01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:51,880 Speaker 1: it was good preparing for both of them. Um, we 1222 01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:53,680 Speaker 1: just at Clemson. We just try to focus on what 1223 01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:57,320 Speaker 1: we could do and was like during the game playing 1224 01:07:57,320 --> 01:08:00,560 Speaker 1: and I'll see him, You're obviously it's the same player, fast, 1225 01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:03,800 Speaker 1: great out in space, catch the ball, can make place 1226 01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:08,560 Speaker 1: like very similar. All right, So that's Balan Specter. I 1227 01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:10,720 Speaker 1: know he hasn't really spoken in training camp yet. Say 1228 01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:14,240 Speaker 1: that's your first exposure to him. Bill's fans at the podium, 1229 01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:19,599 Speaker 1: and both he and Bernard seem like the same. They sound. 1230 01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:21,759 Speaker 1: I was just going to say, they sound very similar, 1231 01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:29,639 Speaker 1: same commitment to craft, so and they clearly appreciate having 1232 01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:34,360 Speaker 1: a fellow draft classmate at their position group because they 1233 01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:38,439 Speaker 1: can kind of huddle up and ask vets questions together, 1234 01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:43,360 Speaker 1: you know, learn some things, kind of make sure about something. Hey, 1235 01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:45,960 Speaker 1: am I seeing this right? Am? I supposed to see 1236 01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:48,640 Speaker 1: it this way? That kind of thing, You get confirmation 1237 01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:50,320 Speaker 1: from the vets and it just kind of makes the 1238 01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:53,960 Speaker 1: learning curve that much shorter. Yeah, it's interesting that you 1239 01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:55,720 Speaker 1: know so many of these guys and maybe it's what 1240 01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:58,240 Speaker 1: we noticed, but they they're so instinctive you know, they 1241 01:08:58,320 --> 01:09:01,719 Speaker 1: just run to the football so hard. Uh, they play 1242 01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:07,439 Speaker 1: in traffic up inside really well. They they seem to 1243 01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:11,200 Speaker 1: communicate really well, be all in it. They have the 1244 01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:15,760 Speaker 1: right attitude and you know they make plays you kind 1245 01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:17,880 Speaker 1: of think, wow, yeah, that guy's supposed to make that play, right. 1246 01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:20,320 Speaker 1: They never they're never not where they're supposed to be. 1247 01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:24,240 Speaker 1: You know, if you expect them to be there, or 1248 01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:25,840 Speaker 1: if you can see the play happen, you think, well, 1249 01:09:25,840 --> 01:09:29,320 Speaker 1: where's the you know there is um particularly one of 1250 01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:31,120 Speaker 1: those lines. We showed it just on a highlight one 1251 01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:34,479 Speaker 1: of the plays that Specter made. Slid down, the line 1252 01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:35,960 Speaker 1: stepped up and it looked like the play was going 1253 01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:37,559 Speaker 1: to bust through and all of a sudden he was there, 1254 01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:40,840 Speaker 1: no gain or a loss of one. It's exactly how 1255 01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:42,479 Speaker 1: you think it should be played, you know, and we've 1256 01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:46,919 Speaker 1: seen seen it classically. So um. Both these young players 1257 01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:51,000 Speaker 1: have played really well and we've talked about how the 1258 01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:55,360 Speaker 1: draft classes flashed and you know it brings us to 1259 01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:57,760 Speaker 1: you know there to our twitter pool. You know what's changed? Now? 1260 01:09:57,800 --> 01:09:59,200 Speaker 1: What do we do? Now? What do we now? What 1261 01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:01,760 Speaker 1: are we looking at Week two matchup? We're gonna go 1262 01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:04,680 Speaker 1: see how Josh and these guys play. I don't know 1263 01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:07,920 Speaker 1: if you want to go that far, but it seems 1264 01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:10,200 Speaker 1: like this first game of the preseason was a very 1265 01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:12,840 Speaker 1: big confirmation of everything you and I have been talking 1266 01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:16,360 Speaker 1: about for a few weeks. These young players can really play. 1267 01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:18,360 Speaker 1: It's going to be a hard team to make, right 1268 01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:24,200 Speaker 1: and once they start game planning, which you know really 1269 01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:27,599 Speaker 1: doesn't happen in full force until the regular season, does 1270 01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:30,519 Speaker 1: that change anything for them? I would anticipate it does not. 1271 01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:35,240 Speaker 1: So well, we'll have to see how they progress through 1272 01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:37,519 Speaker 1: the next couple of games. They will get playing time 1273 01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:41,200 Speaker 1: as young guys, so that'll be very interesting to witness. 1274 01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:43,400 Speaker 1: That's one thing too as a coaching staff, you kind 1275 01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:46,280 Speaker 1: of you got to evaluate how they play, no question 1276 01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:48,800 Speaker 1: about it. It seems obvious, but think about it. If 1277 01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:51,040 Speaker 1: you're on the fifty three man roster in the NFL, 1278 01:10:52,520 --> 01:10:55,960 Speaker 1: you're gonna play. You're gonna play. They need and not 1279 01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:57,880 Speaker 1: only you're gonna play, they need you to play well. 1280 01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:00,800 Speaker 1: When you're in there this those games count. You know 1281 01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:04,040 Speaker 1: you may be inactive for a stretch. Aj Panessa started 1282 01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:07,720 Speaker 1: his career inactive for two weeks, but now now he's 1283 01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:12,439 Speaker 1: in same thing. With Boogie Basham. You bounce back and 1284 01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:15,200 Speaker 1: forth between active this week and inactive the next week. 1285 01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:17,640 Speaker 1: Active this week, active the next week. When they get activated, 1286 01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:21,479 Speaker 1: they're going to get on the field, and the coaching 1287 01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:24,960 Speaker 1: staff has to know what they're getting. When you get 1288 01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:27,519 Speaker 1: on the field, there's no like sitting at the end 1289 01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:29,960 Speaker 1: of the bench not participating. You're in contributor and they 1290 01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:32,960 Speaker 1: they've got things they need you to do on game 1291 01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:36,400 Speaker 1: day that it's so different than it was back in 1292 01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:38,200 Speaker 1: the old you know, back in the sixties when the 1293 01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:40,679 Speaker 1: rosters were like thirty six guys and there were forty 1294 01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:42,599 Speaker 1: two guys and there were forty five guys. Now they're 1295 01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:45,639 Speaker 1: forty seven guys on game day with fifty three fifty 1296 01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:49,720 Speaker 1: three on the roster. You've got guys that are specialized 1297 01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:52,200 Speaker 1: and have certain roles, certain things they need to do, 1298 01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:57,080 Speaker 1: and on game day coaching staffs, head coaches and gems. 1299 01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:01,240 Speaker 1: Of the forty seven guys, you've got act give. All 1300 01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:04,240 Speaker 1: of them have to do something. Nobody gets to sit 1301 01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:08,240 Speaker 1: and watch anymore except maybe your backup quarterback, and even 1302 01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:12,120 Speaker 1: he has responsibilities during the game. I mean you everybody 1303 01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:15,920 Speaker 1: on that sidelines maximizing their role on game day to 1304 01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:19,040 Speaker 1: try and win. Not just the you know, the starting 1305 01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:24,120 Speaker 1: quarterbacks got to play well. No, the quality control guys 1306 01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:26,400 Speaker 1: up in the booth behind the offensive coordinator gotta be 1307 01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:28,360 Speaker 1: on it. They gotta be giving him information that he's 1308 01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:32,600 Speaker 1: asking for. You know, the third wide receiver has got 1309 01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:35,400 Speaker 1: to go in on when the punt is inside our 1310 01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:37,200 Speaker 1: forty yard line because you got to have him back 1311 01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:39,880 Speaker 1: there to help feel the punt that these guys try. 1312 01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:42,800 Speaker 1: All this stuff is on there, and they put these 1313 01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:44,680 Speaker 1: guys out there in these situations, and they put him 1314 01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:47,240 Speaker 1: out there as these starting role guys in a preseason game, 1315 01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:49,960 Speaker 1: so that's the lion's share of their contribution. But in 1316 01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:52,880 Speaker 1: the regular season, the guy may be covering six punts 1317 01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:58,160 Speaker 1: and be on punt return eight times, and then he's 1318 01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:00,639 Speaker 1: got to come over and have conversations with Tremaine Edmonds 1319 01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:03,120 Speaker 1: Matt Blano about what they're seeing, what their offense is doing. 1320 01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:05,640 Speaker 1: So all these guys have these huge, these roles on 1321 01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:10,719 Speaker 1: game day that go far beyond sitting there watching watching 1322 01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:15,400 Speaker 1: the game, and all these games are they're trying to 1323 01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:17,960 Speaker 1: find all this out of where this can you they're 1324 01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:19,680 Speaker 1: looking at bat inspect you're going all right, Are you 1325 01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:22,080 Speaker 1: gonna be on the ball enough to know when Tremaine 1326 01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:23,600 Speaker 1: comes off the field and says, hey, what they do 1327 01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:25,559 Speaker 1: on this da da da da da? Are you gonna 1328 01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:28,080 Speaker 1: be able to say, here's what they were doing? Are 1329 01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:31,000 Speaker 1: you that guy? Yeah? You know, and it's hard, it's 1330 01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:36,240 Speaker 1: not easy. Number One thing that coaches value more than 1331 01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:39,679 Speaker 1: anything else, maybe in football more than any other sport. 1332 01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:44,479 Speaker 1: Can I trust you out there? Right? Can I trust 1333 01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:48,720 Speaker 1: you to execute your assignment and that you'll know what 1334 01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:52,640 Speaker 1: you're looking at so you know how to perform. And 1335 01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:56,639 Speaker 1: because football is such a scripted sport, there are hard 1336 01:13:56,720 --> 01:14:01,640 Speaker 1: and fast answers, and they're trusting that you can have 1337 01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:05,640 Speaker 1: those answers in the snap of a finger, so your 1338 01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:08,280 Speaker 1: athletic ability can take over and you can go play. 1339 01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:11,400 Speaker 1: So if you can build a level of trust with 1340 01:14:11,479 --> 01:14:13,840 Speaker 1: your coaching staff, you're going to get on the field. 1341 01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:19,679 Speaker 1: And I think too often young players with tremendous athletic 1342 01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:26,000 Speaker 1: gifts don't value that enough and realize that's ultimately what 1343 01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:29,439 Speaker 1: keeps them on the field. Putting the trust in your 1344 01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:32,000 Speaker 1: coach that you know what you're doing and you're going 1345 01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:34,600 Speaker 1: to execute it. Every single time you have an opportunity 1346 01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:37,200 Speaker 1: to do so, and that's the difference. We got to 1347 01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:39,880 Speaker 1: take a break here. When we come back, more of 1348 01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:43,320 Speaker 1: your thoughts on the tweet sheet since preseason game one? 1349 01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:46,600 Speaker 1: What has changed for the Bills. You can tell us 1350 01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:47,960 Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet or give us a call eight 1351 01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:50,040 Speaker 1: oh three, five fifty. But we'll get to more of 1352 01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:53,080 Speaker 1: your comments, and we'll also tell you about a former 1353 01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:57,479 Speaker 1: Bills quarterback who is going to get some preseason game 1354 01:14:57,680 --> 01:15:03,960 Speaker 1: snaps with his clubs team offense. Who is it? We'll 1355 01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:05,960 Speaker 1: tell you when we return here on one Bill's Live 1356 01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:12,040 Speaker 1: presented by Collat of Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio, it's summer, 1357 01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:14,880 Speaker 1: and Bill's head coach On McDermott wants us all thinking 1358 01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:18,439 Speaker 1: about sun defense. Coach is passionate about skin cancer prevention 1359 01:15:18,479 --> 01:15:20,519 Speaker 1: as it runs in his family. He takes sun protection 1360 01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:24,720 Speaker 1: very seriously. Most importantly, of course, is wearing sunscreen. Right now, 1361 01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:26,800 Speaker 1: You can stop by your local wegments for all your 1362 01:15:26,840 --> 01:15:30,200 Speaker 1: sun protection needs. Wegmans will donate one dollar for every 1363 01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:34,080 Speaker 1: Wegman's sunscreen products sold through August thirty first in their Buffalo, 1364 01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:36,679 Speaker 1: Rochester and Syracuse stores. It's a great way to protect 1365 01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:40,000 Speaker 1: your family and help fight against skin cancer and think 1366 01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:43,920 Speaker 1: sun defense. Like Bill's head coach Sean McDermott, wanted to 1367 01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:47,960 Speaker 1: get back to the tweet sheet where we got some 1368 01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:54,320 Speaker 1: of your thoughts on essentially what has changed for the 1369 01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:59,160 Speaker 1: Bills since preseason Game number one has been played and 1370 01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:03,400 Speaker 1: filed away, and we go back to Christopher who says, 1371 01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:08,040 Speaker 1: seeing the defensive backfield depth go up against very solid 1372 01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:11,479 Speaker 1: receivers and a former NFL MVP, I don't think they'd 1373 01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:14,680 Speaker 1: have rushed Tray and Poyer back anyway, but seeing the 1374 01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:17,240 Speaker 1: Rooks and last year's backups more than hold their own, 1375 01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:19,720 Speaker 1: the coaches can rest a little bit easier. What do 1376 01:16:19,760 --> 01:16:21,559 Speaker 1: you think about that thought? Do you think the coaches 1377 01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:26,720 Speaker 1: feel a little bit better now knowing they don't they 1378 01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:29,639 Speaker 1: may or may not after Davious White at the start 1379 01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:31,280 Speaker 1: of the season. Do you think they feel a little 1380 01:16:31,280 --> 01:16:33,720 Speaker 1: bit more encouraged about their depth of corner? I think 1381 01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:35,960 Speaker 1: so now they've seen these guys play well against their 1382 01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:38,679 Speaker 1: own people. But you start to play defense a little 1383 01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:42,800 Speaker 1: better when you see these guys every day, every day, 1384 01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:47,800 Speaker 1: every day doing it against the Colts guys and Matt 1385 01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:51,120 Speaker 1: Ryan throwing it. Certainly the Colts aren't playing at the 1386 01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:55,080 Speaker 1: high level either at this point of the preseason. But 1387 01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:57,120 Speaker 1: you've got to feel good about what the young guys 1388 01:16:57,200 --> 01:17:01,000 Speaker 1: did in the defensive backfield. I mean, was the first 1389 01:17:01,040 --> 01:17:04,040 Speaker 1: two series of the game were stopped, one by Kayer 1390 01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:08,320 Speaker 1: Elam on a pass breakup and the other by Christian 1391 01:17:08,880 --> 01:17:11,560 Speaker 1: Benford on the other side. Both of them had a 1392 01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:17,000 Speaker 1: pass breakup to end to drive, so it was it 1393 01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:19,240 Speaker 1: was impressive. So that's got to make them feel good 1394 01:17:19,680 --> 01:17:22,599 Speaker 1: about those guys out there. Plus, that's not even Dan 1395 01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:26,160 Speaker 1: Dane Jackson's the guy that's you know, has started games 1396 01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:30,080 Speaker 1: for him played really well. Um, so there you go. 1397 01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:32,920 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's four guys right there that are 1398 01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:35,400 Speaker 1: right now playing at a high level, or at least 1399 01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:37,280 Speaker 1: two young guys that you know can play at a 1400 01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:40,080 Speaker 1: high level, and the two veteran guys you've seen play 1401 01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:42,320 Speaker 1: at a high level. So yeah, you got to feel 1402 01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:45,280 Speaker 1: really good about that. Plus you know, you throw you 1403 01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:47,240 Speaker 1: know the rest of the corners in there that they've 1404 01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:49,880 Speaker 1: got on the roster, and they you know, with Arren 1405 01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:55,679 Speaker 1: and all of them. So yeah, I'm I'm all about 1406 01:17:56,640 --> 01:17:59,360 Speaker 1: I agree. I do think that the coaching staff has 1407 01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:01,920 Speaker 1: got to feel really good about where they're sitting now 1408 01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:06,240 Speaker 1: with their defensive backfield depth, and not for nothing, Jaquan 1409 01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:08,559 Speaker 1: Johnson had a pick in the game, played a pretty 1410 01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:12,960 Speaker 1: solid game too, So you know, there's more depth in 1411 01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:16,320 Speaker 1: your defensive backfield with Jordan Poyer out right now. So 1412 01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:21,400 Speaker 1: just things to be encouraged by, for sure. So that's 1413 01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:25,799 Speaker 1: kind of where that sits. Andrew says, our backup players 1414 01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:29,040 Speaker 1: versus their starters in the beginning, they played very well 1415 01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:30,640 Speaker 1: in a show that they can hang in there at 1416 01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:32,680 Speaker 1: the top. It's going to be very difficult making the 1417 01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:36,519 Speaker 1: personnel choices for Brandon Bean and coach McDermott. Yeah, I 1418 01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:39,080 Speaker 1: think that goes without saying. We knew going in it 1419 01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:41,240 Speaker 1: was a relatively deep roster. It might be even a 1420 01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:44,200 Speaker 1: deeper one after what we've witnessed at training camp and 1421 01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:47,240 Speaker 1: in the first preseason game. Naturally, we all hope that continues. 1422 01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:51,080 Speaker 1: But I mean, I was talking about it with Josh 1423 01:18:51,120 --> 01:18:57,760 Speaker 1: Reed on the show yesterday, Steve, they're too deep. It's 1424 01:18:57,800 --> 01:19:01,200 Speaker 1: pretty talented, Like, it's not like they've got eleven guys 1425 01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:04,320 Speaker 1: on offense and eleven guys on defense. Should we have 1426 01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:10,880 Speaker 1: the conversation about the Bills current too deep? Yeah, would 1427 01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:14,280 Speaker 1: the second team be better than a number of the 1428 01:19:14,360 --> 01:19:20,360 Speaker 1: drought teams? Um, I'd probably have to go a player 1429 01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:23,719 Speaker 1: by player to make an accurate assessment. There's a couple 1430 01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:25,760 Speaker 1: of teams that it's a coin flip. They might have 1431 01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:27,960 Speaker 1: an argument it's a coin flip for some of them, 1432 01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:30,080 Speaker 1: not all of them. Obviously some of them were better. 1433 01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:31,960 Speaker 1: But there's a couple of teams in the drought that 1434 01:19:32,320 --> 01:19:33,960 Speaker 1: you could flip a coin and this two would be 1435 01:19:34,200 --> 01:19:36,719 Speaker 1: I would say, definitely better than the O one Bills 1436 01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:39,479 Speaker 1: who went three and thirteen. Now, granted that was off 1437 01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:43,280 Speaker 1: a salary cap perge year. I mean that team was 1438 01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:48,840 Speaker 1: playing with twenty four legitimate NFL players. Maybe, I mean 1439 01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:52,040 Speaker 1: the other half were pretty much gone two years later, 1440 01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:55,000 Speaker 1: so they're probably better than that group. So, yeah, they 1441 01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:57,439 Speaker 1: do have some They do have some guys behind these 1442 01:19:57,520 --> 01:20:00,760 Speaker 1: ones that are really productive, got a chance to play 1443 01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:05,600 Speaker 1: really well, you know, and it's always that thing you 1444 01:20:05,680 --> 01:20:08,880 Speaker 1: hope you never need him, but they're there, and it's 1445 01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:11,360 Speaker 1: how good how much are they gonna be able to contribute? 1446 01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:13,839 Speaker 1: I thought I said this on the air Jikwan Johnson. 1447 01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:16,880 Speaker 1: I loved his interception. Certainly is that the ball was 1448 01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:18,960 Speaker 1: overthrown and he comes down with it. I liked what 1449 01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:23,599 Speaker 1: happened after the interception. The guy's gonna go, yeah, he said, 1450 01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:27,680 Speaker 1: I'm not just gonna catch this slide down. Say all right, 1451 01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:32,080 Speaker 1: the guys take over. I'm going And I love that attitude. 1452 01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:35,800 Speaker 1: It's already a great play. Some guys are ready to 1453 01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:38,519 Speaker 1: all right, you know, fine, let's get off the field. 1454 01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:41,760 Speaker 1: Make it the best play you can. You're a pro 1455 01:20:42,040 --> 01:20:44,960 Speaker 1: football player. Make the play that you're supposed to make. 1456 01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:48,280 Speaker 1: And Jikwan Johnson was doing everything he could do it. 1457 01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:51,680 Speaker 1: He wasn't satisfied, and I like that. I mean, I 1458 01:20:51,840 --> 01:20:54,560 Speaker 1: thought for a minute he was gonna get in. But 1459 01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:58,400 Speaker 1: the attitude of him doing that was huge. Was huge. 1460 01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:05,040 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's super Bowl forty seven chance or does that 1461 01:21:05,200 --> 01:21:10,080 Speaker 1: fifty seven champs? Fifty fifty seven champs? I had to 1462 01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:12,920 Speaker 1: think about my Roman numerals for a second. Yeah, um 1463 01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:18,400 Speaker 1: Baal Inspector is going to be a special player, all right. 1464 01:21:19,720 --> 01:21:22,120 Speaker 1: He certainly had a nice performance on Saturday. There's no 1465 01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:24,960 Speaker 1: debating that. Let's see a little bit more before we, 1466 01:21:25,880 --> 01:21:28,000 Speaker 1: you know, put him on a Hall of Fame ballot. 1467 01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:31,920 Speaker 1: Specter had Let's see, he had ten tackles. I mean, look, 1468 01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:34,599 Speaker 1: I'm looking at up Bring. Yeah he had he had 1469 01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:38,880 Speaker 1: four tackles five. Oh, I'm thinking of Bernard Bernard had 1470 01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:43,360 Speaker 1: ten tackles. Yeah, Bernard had this. Only this doesn't have 1471 01:21:43,479 --> 01:21:45,920 Speaker 1: Bernard for tend This has about Bernard for two tackles. 1472 01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:50,679 Speaker 1: Who the hell am I thinking of? What are you thinking? 1473 01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:54,840 Speaker 1: Did you go to the NFL? Jesus who did? Yeah? 1474 01:21:54,960 --> 01:21:58,840 Speaker 1: Specter did have ten tackles. I was right, Um, he 1475 01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:01,120 Speaker 1: was very active. Had he had ten tackles because one 1476 01:22:01,120 --> 01:22:04,120 Speaker 1: of them was on special teams? Yeah, which is good. 1477 01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:08,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, he performed admirably. There's no question about it. 1478 01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:13,439 Speaker 1: So I get why Buffalo Bills Super Bowl forty seven 1479 01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:19,840 Speaker 1: Champs is excited. Fifty seven Champs is excited. But it's 1480 01:22:19,880 --> 01:22:24,080 Speaker 1: one game. Let's let's hope it continues and if it does, 1481 01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:29,280 Speaker 1: teams all the better for it. Bill's had four sacks 1482 01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:35,519 Speaker 1: in the game. Andre Smith Prince immediately, that's right, Quan 1483 01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:40,720 Speaker 1: Joseph and boogie with a strack, sack, strip fumble trifecta, 1484 01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:44,640 Speaker 1: which was a very nice It was nice. That's a 1485 01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:48,200 Speaker 1: big play. That is an enormous play when you start 1486 01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:50,160 Speaker 1: doing that, if your boogie bash him and the game 1487 01:22:50,360 --> 01:22:52,400 Speaker 1: rolls on when you start doing that, if number one, 1488 01:22:52,479 --> 01:22:58,960 Speaker 1: and because then the offense feels like it has to adjust, 1489 01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:02,360 Speaker 1: You're forcing them to do different things for the remainder 1490 01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:03,960 Speaker 1: of the game than they were able to do before 1491 01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:06,880 Speaker 1: you did that play. You know what I mean, You 1492 01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:10,600 Speaker 1: think like Kenn Dorsey's gonna say, all right, listen, bo 1493 01:23:10,960 --> 01:23:14,000 Speaker 1: I mean, Devin's saying if it happened to Bill's you know, 1494 01:23:14,160 --> 01:23:17,160 Speaker 1: he's saying, hey, Devin chipped the end before you go out, 1495 01:23:17,880 --> 01:23:21,799 Speaker 1: and now you got your guys doing different things because 1496 01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:24,080 Speaker 1: of that play. So that that was an enormous play, 1497 01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:28,799 Speaker 1: enormous play. And I know we've been talking about Bernard, 1498 01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:31,840 Speaker 1: but we got back to the point we've kind of 1499 01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:33,960 Speaker 1: brought Boogie back into it where he belonged. He's really 1500 01:23:34,040 --> 01:23:36,519 Speaker 1: the center for piece of that play. Yeah. Chris on 1501 01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:39,600 Speaker 1: the tweet sheet says the d line is getting penetration 1502 01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:41,720 Speaker 1: and hasn't the past two seasons. This will lead to 1503 01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:44,120 Speaker 1: more sacks from the edge, more ability for linebackers to 1504 01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:46,920 Speaker 1: make plays, and less time dbs need to cover, all 1505 01:23:47,080 --> 01:23:50,280 Speaker 1: leading to more stops and turnovers. Yes, yes, yes, and 1506 01:23:50,439 --> 01:23:55,720 Speaker 1: yes you're right, Chris, Yeah, yes, please. And that's why 1507 01:23:56,200 --> 01:23:58,800 Speaker 1: back in the spring, after the free agency period was over, 1508 01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:00,760 Speaker 1: I said, the thing I'm most excited about on this 1509 01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:05,400 Speaker 1: entire team is not the offense. It's not the draft choices. 1510 01:24:05,760 --> 01:24:08,880 Speaker 1: It's those big old beasts that they got for the 1511 01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:12,879 Speaker 1: defensive interior, because they changed the entire conversation on defense 1512 01:24:13,320 --> 01:24:16,519 Speaker 1: for the reasons that Chris just stated. Jordan Phillips and 1513 01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:20,320 Speaker 1: I saw him do it during training camp. He has 1514 01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:23,000 Speaker 1: the ability, even his size to get into the gap 1515 01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:25,439 Speaker 1: and get through there and and get on the edge 1516 01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:27,400 Speaker 1: of the offensive lineman where they can't get in front 1517 01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:28,519 Speaker 1: of him and stop, and they have to do it 1518 01:24:28,600 --> 01:24:30,559 Speaker 1: from the side, and that's almost impossible for a three 1519 01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:33,200 Speaker 1: thirty guy. And you saw Tim Settle rocking people back 1520 01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:35,479 Speaker 1: at the beginning of that game too. I thought it 1521 01:24:35,560 --> 01:24:40,560 Speaker 1: was ub Yeah, look at the first two plays of 1522 01:24:40,640 --> 01:24:43,599 Speaker 1: the Colt game and watched him. Settle takes a Pro 1523 01:24:43,680 --> 01:24:46,640 Speaker 1: Bowl center Ryan Kelly and a Pro Bowl guard and 1524 01:24:46,720 --> 01:24:50,599 Speaker 1: Quenton Nelson and he's bull rushing them into Matt Ryan's lap. 1525 01:24:50,720 --> 01:24:53,160 Speaker 1: He's yeah, that was a statement. There was a couple 1526 01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:56,719 Speaker 1: of statement plays right off the top. Right off the top, 1527 01:24:56,880 --> 01:24:59,200 Speaker 1: he comes off and I mean he just I mean 1528 01:24:59,240 --> 01:25:01,880 Speaker 1: he's three yards hind the line of scrimmage. Yeah. Tim 1529 01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:06,120 Speaker 1: Suttle was the penguin he was. Yeah, he was waddling 1530 01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:09,920 Speaker 1: it up. Man. Great, it was really good. So, yeah, 1531 01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:13,559 Speaker 1: he played well. Also very encouraging. Connor says, I think 1532 01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:16,080 Speaker 1: the biggest change is the defensive line play. Guys like 1533 01:25:16,160 --> 01:25:18,920 Speaker 1: Tim Settle, Boogie Basham look great. During preseason game one, 1534 01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:21,360 Speaker 1: Settle was blown through the cold starting old line. As 1535 01:25:21,400 --> 01:25:23,720 Speaker 1: we just pointed out, Bills need to get pressure on 1536 01:25:23,760 --> 01:25:26,080 Speaker 1: the QB and it starts with the D line. Go Bills. 1537 01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:30,760 Speaker 1: Jeremy says, not that we ever had bad depth, but 1538 01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:34,800 Speaker 1: the strength of our depth has improved. The backups held 1539 01:25:34,840 --> 01:25:37,560 Speaker 1: their own against the cold starters, and it was impressive. 1540 01:25:37,880 --> 01:25:39,960 Speaker 1: That's not the first time I heard that. There were 1541 01:25:39,960 --> 01:25:41,679 Speaker 1: a lot of people that came away from the preseason 1542 01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:46,040 Speaker 1: opener saying, wow, our twos held their own against their starters. Now, 1543 01:25:46,040 --> 01:25:49,439 Speaker 1: they didn't have Jonathan Taylor in the game, and it 1544 01:25:49,600 --> 01:25:52,759 Speaker 1: is the first preseason game and there is no game planning. 1545 01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:54,800 Speaker 1: There is no game planning, and the Colts are going 1546 01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:57,000 Speaker 1: to be a much better football team offensively than they 1547 01:25:57,040 --> 01:26:00,600 Speaker 1: looked like that night. But you would expect that the 1548 01:26:00,640 --> 01:26:02,760 Speaker 1: Bills are going to be vastly different when they do 1549 01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:07,120 Speaker 1: game plan on defense, and they've got virtually eleven different 1550 01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:14,639 Speaker 1: guys up front to start the game. But yeah, let's 1551 01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:17,320 Speaker 1: not read too much into this. Certainly, the Bills played well. 1552 01:26:17,479 --> 01:26:19,759 Speaker 1: Certainly it reflects well on their depth that they played 1553 01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:22,960 Speaker 1: and physically held their own against the Colts, even the 1554 01:26:23,040 --> 01:26:25,600 Speaker 1: young guys on the edges of the defense and the secondary. 1555 01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:29,200 Speaker 1: The young linebackers were good in the run game. They 1556 01:26:29,280 --> 01:26:33,240 Speaker 1: did a lot of things extremely well defensively. Offensively not 1557 01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:34,960 Speaker 1: so much. I mean, the Bills have got some work 1558 01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:42,000 Speaker 1: to do, but yeah, it's pretty encouraging. You would expect 1559 01:26:42,040 --> 01:26:45,200 Speaker 1: it to be a little bit encouraging given the expectations 1560 01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:47,080 Speaker 1: of the club and what they've done in the free ages. 1561 01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:51,800 Speaker 1: Even on paper, the Bills two's look proven, at least 1562 01:26:51,800 --> 01:26:54,320 Speaker 1: to a certain extent, not not like proven stars, but 1563 01:26:54,439 --> 01:26:56,760 Speaker 1: certainly proven to be able to handle the NFL and 1564 01:26:56,920 --> 01:27:00,639 Speaker 1: that level of competition. So I don't want to start 1565 01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:03,760 Speaker 1: jumping up and down and saying this game proves of 1566 01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:05,320 Speaker 1: the Bills are the deepest team in the league and 1567 01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:07,679 Speaker 1: they're gonna go out. It's it's all you know, rainbow 1568 01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:11,519 Speaker 1: and sunshine and sprinkles, but it was good. It was good. 1569 01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:14,200 Speaker 1: We told you that we'd let you in on what 1570 01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:17,880 Speaker 1: former Bills quarterback is going to get first team reps 1571 01:27:17,960 --> 01:27:22,519 Speaker 1: with his team. Now, that is one Tyrod Taylor who 1572 01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:26,479 Speaker 1: will get preseason first team game reps with his Giants 1573 01:27:26,720 --> 01:27:30,680 Speaker 1: starting offense. Brian Dable insists it is no knock on 1574 01:27:30,840 --> 01:27:33,439 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones and the way he has performed through the 1575 01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:36,040 Speaker 1: course of training camp in the preseason. Said it was 1576 01:27:36,120 --> 01:27:40,400 Speaker 1: the plan all along. But Tyrod getting a shot this 1577 01:27:40,640 --> 01:27:43,519 Speaker 1: coming week we break here. When we come back, we 1578 01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:50,200 Speaker 1: tell you famous people and August sixteenth. It's a pretty 1579 01:27:50,360 --> 01:27:52,880 Speaker 1: interesting list.
