1
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: Welcome into One Bills Live, Maddi glab Aside, Steve Tasker,

2
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: Our Bills Legend here U man oh Man. The twenty

00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: twenty three schedule is out. If you're watching on MSG.

4
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: You just got to see that cool video that we

5
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: did to release the schedule right before we had our

6
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: schedule release, show that Chris Brown and I were a

7
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: part of a lot of things to take away to

8
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: bide on to get ready for for this upcoming season

9
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills. It's gonna be a tough schedule,

10
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: but I'm a really big fan of the way that

11
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: it was laid out, and we're gonna get into all

12
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: of that throughout the entire show. It is a jam

13
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: packed week here, especially yesterday and today. It does not

14
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: feel like the off season and at One Bill's Drive,

15
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: and that's because Rookie Mini Camp is underway right now.

16
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: We're gonna be able to show some video of that

17
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: as soon as the open portion ends here soon enough.

18
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: We're also gonna hear from Sean McDermott and some of

19
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: the rookies later in the show. We hope that lines

20
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: up so we can air some of it on here.

21
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: But it is back to being busy in this building.

22
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: You couple that with schedule release and I'm like, what

23
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: off season, right?

24
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: Yeah?

25
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 3: You can they they line everything up on the calendar. Awesome,

26
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 3: and we've got stuff to talk about year round. This

27
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 3: is no different. This was with some good shows. People

28
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 3: really want to talk about the schedule. They're really interested

29
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 3: because for a lot of people, you kind of got

30
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 3: a trip planned in there somewhere, right, it's part of

31
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 3: your vacation, part of your fun of the fall, the autumn.

32
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 3: I'm no different. I got family members want to come

33
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 3: up to games.

34
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can plan our lives.

35
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they can.

36
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 3: You can start watching the airlines jack their prices up.

37
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 3: Knowing what the schedules are they do so all that's

38
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 3: pretty cool. And you know they've been call us. I mean,

39
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 3: if you've got thoughts about the schedule.

40
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, please.

41
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 3: It's hard to get around the fact it was gonna

42
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 3: be a hard schedule. We're playing our own division, which

43
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 3: has gotten better. Miami and the Jets are really looking

44
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 3: like like better football teams than they did a year

45
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 3: ago or even to particularly two years ago. And then

46
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 3: you play the AFC West with the Chargers, the Broncos

47
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 3: with their new head coach Sean Payton and Russell Wilson,

48
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 3: and then of course the Kansas City and then you've

49
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 3: got Cincinnati on that schedule as well along with the

50
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay. It's it's a rough schedule the NFC East

51
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 3: with the Cowboys, Giants and the NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles.

52
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 3: You knew it was gonna be a hard schedule and

53
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 3: they're gonna be stretches in it that looked rough. But

54
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 3: but I kind of.

55
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 1: Like the way okay, because I was gonna say describing

56
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: it as being a tough schedule, which we know that

57
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: we know it's and we've seen a lot of different rankings,

58
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: you know, fifth hardest schedule, seventh hardest schedule. It's up

59
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: there in terms of one of the hardest schedules in

60
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 1: the NFL this season across the thirty one other teams.

61
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: But with that, you know, the schedule makers can they

62
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: could have created a few tough stretches for the Bills

63
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: there and not that you ease your way into the season.

64
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: It is back ended in terms of when the games

65
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: start to get really tougher because you think of playoff

66
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: implications and you know the identity that teams will then

67
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: have in the second half of the season of knowing

68
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: who they are, knowing what they are, and knowing what

69
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: they're after. But I love how it's laid out as

70
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: you look at it that.

71
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: Way too, Yes, I do. I mean the Jets.

72
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 3: Jets are tough, but you get them opening weekend, you're

73
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 3: gonna be at your healthiest. You get a chance to

74
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 3: take a shot at him on the road as well.

75
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 3: The Bills did it last year against the World champions

76
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 3: and played really well in that opening game. I would

77
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 3: expect nothing less this year than You've got the Raiders,

78
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 3: who I think are still looking to find themselves under

79
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 3: Josh McDaniels Jimmy Garoppolo.

80
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: She was going to be too soon for that team

81
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: to write with all the newness that that roster has.

82
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: And it's tough playing in Buffalo and a home opener.

83
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the Raiders are going to have that up

84
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 3: go to Washington against the Commanders. I was looking at

85
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 3: I and I honestly, now that I've read it a

86
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 3: couple of times, I still can't remember their quarterbacks name.

87
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: As a young kid, and I can't remember his name.

88
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 2: Then you go.

89
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 3: Then you've got Miami at home, in October. First, weather

90
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 3: should still be okay there here in Buffalo. And incidentally,

91
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 3: you've got Miami on week eighteen as well, so we're

92
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 3: going down there in January.

93
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 2: Which is perfect for that. That works out.

94
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 3: Best come here when it's nice weather and go there

95
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 3: when it's nice weather. Jacksonville, the Giants, the Patriots, the Buccaneers.

96
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 3: The schedule stacks up really well in the beginning of

97
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 3: the season for Buffalo. And you know, they do have

98
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 3: a home game against Miami. Then they've got a home

99
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 3: technically a home game against Jacksonville, then a home game

100
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 3: against the Giants.

101
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: So you've got three straight home games, right.

102
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 3: Finger quotes in the middle home game, there is the

103
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 3: one in London. Yeah, so it's a road game. It's

104
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 3: very at the very least it's a neutral site game,

105
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 3: but at the worst it's a home game for Jacksonville

106
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: because they got a footprint over there.

107
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: That's true. And what did we talk about a couple

108
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: of days ago on Monday that that could be an option,

109
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: but it also could be an option that is looked

110
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: at as not just the Bills playing against the Jaguars,

111
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: but whoever was going to get that team the second

112
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: week that the Jaguars would be in London could be

113
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: looked at as a competitive advantage for the Jaguars. You know,

114
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: the lay of the land, You're not caught up on

115
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: on the time change. You've been there for almost two

116
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: weeks at the point that they're going to face the Bills.

117
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: We'll see, uh if it turns out to be something

118
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: like that in that game. And we heard from the

119
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: Jags head coach in his press conference. I caught it

120
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: on Good Morning Football, and he said, I would rather

121
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: play the Bills in London than in Buffalo because we're

122
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: going to be there for that point right for two

123
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: weeks for.

124
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 2: Sure, And think about it.

125
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 3: That's and that's there are other teams with more difficult

126
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 3: schedules than Buffalo as well.

127
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 2: I mean, that's one of the way to look at it.

128
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 3: Like New England Patriots have a much more have a

129
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 3: more difficult schedule than Buffalo. You know why is because

130
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 3: Buffalo makes their schedule harder and New England makes ours easier,

131
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 3: yes by playing them twice so because of the expectations

132
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,799
Speaker 3: and the way they finished last year. So it's virtually

133
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 3: the same schedule as a couple of other teams in

134
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 3: the division. But because Buffalo is a better team, they've

135
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 3: got a tougher schedule.

136
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: And as you look at the schedule as a whole

137
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: and start to break it into pieces, the AFC East,

138
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: the division games. You mentioned that the Bills are going

139
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: to play the Dolphins in Buffalo in October and then

140
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: they'll head to Miami at the end of the season

141
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: in Week eighteen. There and the weather factor was such

142
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: a big deal for these two teams last year when

143
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: it was completely flipped and you remember that were there

144
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: was that scorcher of a game at the end of

145
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: September in Miami that the Bills had to be in

146
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: and you know, you never know what the weather is

147
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: going to be. Would it be the same case if

148
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: we were in Miami in October first? Who knows. But

149
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: I like the way it's laid out that way for

150
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: the Bills and the Dolphins. The Bills will get a

151
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: break from the cold December January weather as they head

152
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: to Miami in Week eighteen. But that Week eighteen game

153
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins TBD, it's TVD because this game could

154
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: have huge implications with playoffs with the AFC East champion.

155
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: I mean, that's right.

156
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: The Dolphins last year not an easy team to face.

157
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: It was a team that started to put it together.

158
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: It was a team with Tyreek Hill. It was a

159
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: team that was better with two tongue of Iiloa. And

160
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: now you add Vic Fangio to their defense as their

161
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. You add Jalen Ramsey to the mix. I

162
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: know they didn't have a lot of draft picks, but

163
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: the Dolphins should be able to take that next step

164
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: forward if their quarterback can stay healthy. And you look

165
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: at where that final game is placed in the regular season,

166
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: and it could be a tough one for the Bills

167
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: or it could be a tough one for the Dolphins,

168
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: depending on who's the healthier team. This could also be

169
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: a team that the Bills face again in the playoffs.

170
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: You're looking at the Dolphins and the Jets as two

171
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: opponents who the Bills could very very well get in

172
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: that first round of the playoffs and that divisional or

173
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: in that wildcard matchup like they did last year. We're

174
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: able to beat the Dolphins by just a few points

175
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: and then that Week one game against the Jets. We

176
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: talked about it on Monday. Our question for our followers

177
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: and listeners it was what do you want that Week

178
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: one game to be? And a lot of people wanted

179
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: it to be against the Jets. I love that you

180
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: just start this season in that way. You're hopefully going

181
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: to get the best of the best. Chris and I

182
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: talked about this in the show yesterday. Is a question

183
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: a storyline for that matchup is going to be is

184
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: von Miller ready to go by Week one? That'll be

185
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: a question. I think that'll be a big factor as

186
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: well for that defensive line for Buffalo, and the Jets

187
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: have an incredible defense. They were a top five defense

188
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: last year. I would expect the same this year as well.

189
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: You add Aaron Rodgers to the mix and a whole

190
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: lot of offensive pieces, and this is going to be

191
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: a game that a lot of people are going to watch.

192
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: NFL fans, people who aren't even NFL fans, who just

193
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: happen to be hanging out with a friend or or

194
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: a partner on that Monday night. I mean, that's gonna

195
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: be must see TV.

196
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is It's the first of a bunch of

197
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 3: games that the Bills have their in primetime. No question,

198
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 3: they've got six of them, but they've also only they

199
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 3: only have five one o'clock Sunday afternoon Games five. The

200
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 3: rest of the are four twenty nine to thirty am

201
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 3: from London, eight pm on a on a you know,

202
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 3: on the on the December twenty third, on a Saturday.

203
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 3: It's uh, they I guess we A lot of us

204
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 3: are reminded that people around the country really want to

205
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,599
Speaker 3: watch this team, and the and the networks know it.

206
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 3: CBS has got three four to twenty five windows for

207
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 3: the Buffalo Bills in a row, and then in a row,

208
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 3: and then Fox has the next one. Uh, it's yeah,

209
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 3: people want to see this team play. Let's not forget

210
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 3: as we can say that what we want about last

211
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: year's offseason, when we were almost uncomfortable with how favored

212
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 3: the Bills were to go to and win the Super Bowl.

213
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 3: I think most people are more comfortable here being overlooked.

214
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 3: But yeah, the network's no better. The Bills are still

215
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 3: going to be must watch television and they're going to

216
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 3: be splattered all over the national airwaves. And it's you know,

217
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 3: it's a compliment to the organization, to Brandon being Sean

218
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 3: McDermott old guys on the team.

219
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 2: People want to see this team play.

220
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, six straight or not six straight, but six primetime

221
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: games overall. That December twenty third game Week sixteen, that's

222
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: an eight o'clock kick on Saturday that's on Peacock, so

223
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: a little bit interesting. They're three straight eight o'clock kicks

224
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: for the Bills and then they go into four straight

225
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: four to twenty five games, So it's anything but one

226
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: o'clock kicks in the middle of the season there, because

227
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: you're going to be on seven straight weeks of games

228
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: that aren't one o'clock. And it's interesting because since I've

229
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: been covering this team and Chris said it, I think

230
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: it's they haven't had this many four to twenty five

231
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: kicks since two thousand and nine. This has not been

232
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: a four to twenty five of four o'clock team as

233
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: of the last few years. And it's great to get

234
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: that four o'clock slot because that's when everybody still has

235
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: their TV on from the one o'clock games.

236
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 2: People are tuning into.

237
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: The afternoon games almost as much as they are the

238
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: primetime games.

239
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 3: The four to twenty five is the big window for networks.

240
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 3: It's an enormous ratings grab because as you start kicking

241
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 3: at eight twenty, people.

242
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: Start to fade after halftime.

243
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 3: They kind of get done with it, particularly after a

244
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 3: big Sunday of football. But the four to twenty five game,

245
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 3: depending on the matchup, and in this case it'd be

246
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 3: the Jets.

247
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 2: Eagles, Chiefs, Cowboys.

248
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 3: Ain't nobody going anywhere. They're watching all of that game.

249
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 3: Those games with the Bills and those teams, it'll be

250
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 3: really it's gonna be a really fun year. And not

251
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 3: for nothing for Bills fans. Three of their first four

252
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 3: games kick off at one o'clock in the afternoon. They're

253
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 3: at home against the Raiders for their home opener, then

254
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 3: they go to Washington at one o'clock game. They come

255
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 3: back and they got Miami at a one o'clock game,

256
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 3: and then of course the London game against Jacksonville's at

257
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 3: nine to thirty am on a Sunday, which I'm going

258
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 3: to reserve judgment on. I can't even get my mind

259
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 3: around having a nine to thirty game. But you know,

260
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 3: that's that's nice for the Bills fans because it'll be

261
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 3: two home games that you know gonna be here in September,

262
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 3: so it'll be fun.

263
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: It's an incredible schedule for weather in Buffalo. The first

264
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: half of the season is loaded with home games, which

265
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: you love because it's going to be better weather to

266
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 1: play in. I know some people and it's a it's

267
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: a viable argument that, yeah, the cold weather could be

268
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: an advantage for the Bills. But at the end of

269
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: the day, I don't think you could survey the entire

270
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: team and every single guy would say, yeah, put all

271
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: the games home games at the end of December and

272
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: early January. We want to play in the cold. It's

273
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: nice that this team gets their front half of the

274
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: schedule in Buffalo when the weather, I mean falls are

275
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: incredible here. I'm a big fall as elites person in Buffalo,

276
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: and the fans are going to get that, the players

277
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: are going to get that. And then at the end

278
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: of the season, you're going to be traveling to some

279
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: warmer weather states and cities when it could be pretty

280
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: cold here, when the weather could be pretty crappy here,

281
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: And maybe you don't want a home game in Buffalo

282
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: in January or at the end of December. But the

283
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: other side of the coin there is you're not going

284
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: to get home field advantage at the end of the year.

285
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: When home field advantage in some of those games truly

286
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: matters and could be a difference maker.

287
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 3: I get it, and that's true, no question. The crowd

288
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 3: makes a difference no matter whether the weather's good or bad.

289
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 3: But I'll say this, when you got a team like Buffalo,

290
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 3: when you got a team that's good, man, it don't

291
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 3: matter just the weather.

292
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 2: You want the conditions to be as good.

293
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 4: As you can.

294
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's what you get.

295
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 2: I think the schedule, the road.

296
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, even if you do go on the road in

297
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 3: week eighteen down in Miami, we've all we've all known

298
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 3: when you're playing good and stuff that that turns into

299
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 3: a fun game.

300
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. Bill's Mafield will travel for that. Really, Well, that's

301
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: one thing you worry.

302
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 2: It's a couple of weeks after the holidays. Uh.

303
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 3: People will make plans to be there. It's going to

304
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 3: be a fun game and they'll have and before that,

305
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 3: the week before that, they'll have the the uh New

306
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 3: England Patriots at one o'clock Sunday afternoon, December thirty. First game.

307
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 3: There's your there's your wintertime game right there. New Year's

308
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 3: Eve now one New Year's Eve against the Patriots at home.

309
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: No holiday games for this team this year, And there

310
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: were a lot of slots where it could have happened.

311
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: You know, you have a Black Friday game, you have

312
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: a few on Christmas Eve, and if you on Christmas Day,

313
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: you've got the Thanksgiving option. And it seems like every

314
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: year they're just adding adding another game to the holiday

315
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: window because they get such incredible numbers. Uh. Bills were

316
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: one of those teams where I'm sure they thought about

317
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: putting them on one of those days, but they end

318
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: up not being on any of those days. And fans

319
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: and people like us who cover the team and are

320
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: on our players may say, few, it's nice to have

321
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: a season off of not playing on Thanksgiving or not

322
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: playing on Christmas Eve, because maybe that means I get

323
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: an extra day with family, or I can watch the

324
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: games that are happening on Christmas Eve and in Christmas

325
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: Day and Thanksgiving. Are you a fan of this team

326
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: having a year off of not being part of the

327
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: holiday matchups?

328
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I am. I'm fine. I like the schedule.

329
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 3: What can I say, whether it's on the Thanksgiving or not,

330
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 3: I'm all about it. I know this too probably and

331
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 3: I don't know this for sure, but if I'm Jerry

332
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 3: Jones and a Cowboys I'm saying, hey, we don't want

333
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 3: Buffalo on Thanksgiving.

334
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 2: We'd rather have the Commanders, you know what I mean.

335
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 3: We'd rather because the Bills have thumped them pretty good,

336
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 3: the Detroit Lions and the and the uh, the Cowboys.

337
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm I'm thinking that the other teams, the

338
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,719
Speaker 3: Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys are alright with not

339
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 3: having a Buffalo game on Thanksgiving as well.

340
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, what was that in twenty twenty? Was it twenty

341
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: twenty when the Bills beat the Cowboys And that was

342
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: really the coming out party for Joshha.

343
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 2: That was really the arrival.

344
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: I think, incredible game to watch. Oh my gosh, I

345
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: was so lated watching that. And then the Bills get

346
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: a week thirteen by. Last year they had a week

347
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: seven by. So it was in the beginning of the season.

348
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,479
Speaker 1: And if you're a team who's gonna play in Europe

349
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: and London in Germany one of those cross country games,

350
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: you can take a bye week after you come back

351
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 1: from London or Germany or wherever it is. But the

352
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: Bills choose to say, we're good, We'll take our bye

353
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: week at a different time. I love a week thirteen bye.

354
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: There's actually five other teams that have a Week thirteen

355
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: by one of the last weeks you could have a

356
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: bye in the season.

357
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 3: Week fourteen is the last one, and it's Arizona and

358
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 3: Washington that have their buys on week fourteen and week thirteen.

359
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 3: It is the Giants, Minnesota, Las Vegas, Chicago, Buffalo, Baltimore.

360
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 3: All those teams have their buy in Week thirteen.

361
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 1: Great time.

362
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 2: It really is a former player about it.

363
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: You're a fan of the later buys or does it

364
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 1: really not matter as much as people make it out

365
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: to be.

366
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 3: I was around when they started it, and everybody the

367
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 3: big question was is it a good time for the boy? Yeah,

368
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 3: because that's a good time for the buye? Is that

369
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 3: a good time for the buye? And the question and

370
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 3: the answer is always every week that you get a

371
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 3: buye is a perfect time for the buye because you

372
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 3: need the rest, no matter when it is. Back in

373
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 3: the day, there were teams that had an opening opening weekend,

374
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, because they put them all the way out,

375
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 3: you know, and and you know they've tinkered with it

376
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 3: and stuff, but it's all for the players. It's always

377
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 3: a good time for buye because you hurt I mean,

378
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 3: it's just that simple. And you've always got some key

379
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 3: player or an important player who's hurt and you'd like

380
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 3: to get them healthy. So but Week thirteen is nice

381
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,959
Speaker 3: because it does give you a chance to catch your

382
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 3: breath before the last month of a.

383
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 1: Push, catch your breath before you face the Chiefs coming

384
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: off of the Eagles game. I like the way that

385
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: it's kind of placed in that way, you also get

386
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: a mini buy. I would call it after week eight

387
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: you face the Bucks on Thursday Night Football, and then

388
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: week nine you have the Cincinnati Bengals, and I would

389
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: be begging for any extra time I could get to

390
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: prepare for a team like the Cincinnati Bengals. This was

391
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: a team that beat the Bills by seventeen points in

392
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs and a team that looked like they were

393
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: on their way to have their way with the Bills

394
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: when we face them in Cincinnati when DeMar Hamlin unfortunately

395
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: suffered that card arrest, and it'll be tough to go

396
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: back to Cincinnati on November fifth, Week nine, Chris Brown

397
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 1: said when we were taping the show, and I couldn't

398
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 1: have agreed with him more. Is it's nice that that

399
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: is placed later in the season rather than it being

400
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: a week one, two or three game when yes, this

401
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: did happen last year. But it's nice that the team

402
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: gets a few weeks or really the front half of

403
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: the season before they have to deal with that, because

404
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a mentally tough game. You're gonna have

405
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: to really, you're gonna have to focus and figure out

406
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: what you want to do with those extra added emotions.

407
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, it will be by that time, you would like

408
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 3: to think, and I'm sure it will be. It'll be

409
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 3: Damar's incident will be water under the bridge and you

410
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 3: will have had nine games with Damar playing and being

411
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 3: part of It'll be great. Now, how that affects the

412
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 3: players may be something there, But yeah, nine weeks you

413
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 3: needed some time to get this.

414
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: Hell, they'll be in There'll be a new team by then.

415
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: You know, you always hear the guys say every year

416
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 1: is different, every year has a different identity. By week nine,

417
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: that identity should be there. You should be a different

418
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: team than you were the season before.

419
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 3: You get a chance to see this team to develop

420
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 3: and not last year's team, and that'll that really helps.

421
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 3: And I was, yeah, that made a lot of sense

422
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 3: to me. And that's I think that's a bonus as

423
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 3: well for this schedule.

424
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: Would you rather have a tough stretch towards the end

425
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: of the season like the Bills do, or would you

426
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: rather have something like that maybe up more in the

427
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: front half.

428
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 2: Uh, it depends if you're healthy. It doesn't really I know.

429
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know that's a thing you always wonder about.

430
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 2: The back end.

431
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 3: You'd like to save the save the back the tough

432
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 3: games until you're really hitting your groove. But there's no

433
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 3: guarantee that you're gonna be missing a wheel or two

434
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 3: by the time you get there, like you're missing Von

435
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 3: Miller and Mike Hide and you know last year Tradevious White.

436
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 2: Might you know think about it.

437
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 3: Von Miller goes out in the Thanksgiving game and that's

438
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 3: the same game Trey White actually starts to play, and

439
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,719
Speaker 3: they never they played half a game together.

440
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 2: Micah Hyde was out in Week two.

441
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 4: Uh.

442
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 3: Those kind of things tend to derail this Finger quotes

443
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 3: chemistry that we all want to talk about and how

444
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 3: you know, even the continuity that we talk about for

445
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 3: a year over year, injuries throw a wrench in that.

446
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 3: And it's the great unpredictable nature of the league, So

447
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 3: I would rather have it.

448
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 2: It really doesn't matter.

449
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: I don't think give it to us.

450
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 3: Whenever I've said it that this Jet game to start out,

451
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 3: the Jets with Aaron Rodgers awesome playing in Week one,

452
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 3: you know, see if they've got it together. See if

453
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 3: they've got it together, because you've got to think the

454
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 3: Bills are going to have it a little pretty well

455
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 3: together given their continuity.

456
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would also say that this is a team

457
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: where I feel like you could even say it last

458
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: year is Younger teams are teams who who have a

459
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: lot of new faces or maybe a new coaching staff.

460
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: You kind of want the tougher games in the second

461
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: half of the season because you want the first six

462
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: weeks to figure out who you are. And with the

463
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: team like the Bills, they already know who they are,

464
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: they already know what they have. That core group has

465
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: been a part of this roster for several years together.

466
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: You've got a quarterback who's now starting to be looked

467
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: at as a veteran, as well as a bunch of

468
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: your playmakers on offense and defense. So this is a

469
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: team who should be able to put it together pretty quickly.

470
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 1: I mean last year they came out of the gate roaring.

471
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 1: This was a team who played some of their best

472
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 1: football in the front half of the season. The big

473
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,239
Speaker 1: question for this team is going to be can they

474
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: keep it consistent throughout the entire year. I know they

475
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: want a bunch of games at the end of the year,

476
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: but it was tough to win games at the end

477
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: of the year. It was tougher than it needed to be,

478
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: And a lot of that could be pointed to and

479
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: could go back to because the team wasn't healthy. And

480
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: that's what I kept saying in our schedule release show

481
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: that we taped is can It's all like, sure, the

482
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: end of the season, the Bills could be an incredible team.

483
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: They should be an incredible team. But if they're faced

484
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: with the same injury bug that they had this past season,

485
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: you never know what could happen. And I would hope

486
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: that's not the case, because I feel like this team

487
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: had three years worth of injuries in one season last year.

488
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it certainly felt that way, particularly I think for

489
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 3: most people who watched the team closely like we do,

490
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 3: it felt weird last year because it had been two

491
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 3: years since they'd had any significant injury. Yeah, during the season, right, So.

492
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna knock on wood hopefully doesn't happen next year.

493
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 2: Right exactly.

494
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 3: So yeah, last year was just it was just one

495
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 3: more thing they needed to overcome and conspired against them.

496
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 2: They couldn't do it in the end.

497
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 3: So it's also the one thing you can talk about

498
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 3: and not be able to have any idea how to

499
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:02,959
Speaker 3: predict it.

500
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 2: I mean, you just don't know.

501
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 3: I mean injuries, certainly, there's going to be some. Every

502
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 3: team suffers them. Who gets injured and how severe the

503
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 3: injury is, there's no way to know, and it's the

504
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 3: great unknown about the league. The statistic I saw even

505
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 3: when I played, was that the chances of an NFL player,

506
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 3: any NFL player getting injured during the season, the percentage

507
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 3: of chance that they would get hurt was one hundred percent. Yeah,

508
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 3: everybody does, and I knew that to be true in

509
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 3: my own career. So you know it's going to happen,

510
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 3: but man, oh man, you cannot predict it. It just

511
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 3: it is an absolute roll of a twelve sided dice.

512
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: And our strength staff does a great job of making

513
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: sure these guys are as ready as they can be

514
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: from an avoiding an injury standpoint heading into the season.

515
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: Workouts are a huge part of this offseason program for

516
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: this team. They been in the weight room this offseason already,

517
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 1: they'll continue to do that. A lot of the muscle

518
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 1: building and exercises that they do is in order to

519
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: strengthen parts of your body so it's tougher to get injured,

520
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: and I know that's going to be a big focus

521
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: for the group this year, as it has been in

522
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 1: years past. There's a reason this strength staff has remained

523
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: consistent year after year after year because they do such

524
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: a great job helping prepare these guys for a gauntlet

525
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: of a season. For an eighteen week season, you gotta

526
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: be ready for the wear and tear on your body,

527
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: especially if you're a player like von Miller, who's entering

528
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: year thirteen in his NFL career coming off of an

529
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: ACL injury. It'll be interesting to get eyes on him

530
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 1: during training camp because we've heard some great updates from

531
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean and Sean McDermott that you know, we believe

532
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: he's on time. I'm sure it's gonna be the same

533
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: thing of you know, they're not gonna want to set

534
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: an exact date. They're gonna allow Vaughn to come back

535
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: when Vaughn is ready, just kind of like they did

536
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: when Trey White was ready. They weren't going to say

537
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: an exact date, an exact week. They were going to

538
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: let his body figure itself out and make sure it

539
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: was on par and agreeable with what the training staff

540
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 1: was thinking as well.

541
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is one of the reasons why the culture

542
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 3: here in Buffalo is gaining such a reputation. Even in

543
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 3: a playoff game last year, the Bills held Taekwon Jones

544
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 3: out of that game, and they allowed Harris Phillips to play,

545
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 3: Jordan Phillips to play because he was ready. But they

546
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 3: do not in any way, shape or form push players

547
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 3: to play when they're not one hundred percent ready. And

548
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 3: I think players around the league and players who are

549
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 3: looking at a place to play really appreciate that, knowing

550
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 3: that they can make their own timeline and when they're

551
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 3: ready to play, they'll be allowed.

552
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: To all right. Coming up next on One Bills Live,

553
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: we've got ESPN NFL Fantasy Football analyst Mike Clay. He's

554
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: going to join us and talk about the NFL schedule,

555
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: pick out some games and maybe where the Bills fit

556
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 1: into what they could do this upcoming season, how it

557
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: compares to some different teams. As you know, you want

558
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: to start talking fantasy now, you want to start dreaming

559
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 1: about what a team could look like, what your team

560
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: could look like with bye weeks and all those things.

561
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: So we'll have Mike Clay on next. Also give us

562
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 1: call eighth three, five point fifty. Tell us your reaction

563
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: to the schedule will be taken calls throughout the show.

564
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: On One Bill's Live, We're presented by Clydeahealth on Buffalo

565
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. Welcome back to One Bill's Live Night Lab

566
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: alongside my counterpart, Steve Tasker. It's a lovely Friday here

567
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: at One Bills Drive. The sun is shining, the music

568
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: is bumping. You can't hear it though, because we're in

569
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: this wonderful studio. But mandatory Mini Camp, not mandatory Mini Camp,

570
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,719
Speaker 1: Rookie Mini Caamp is happening right now out on the field.

571
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: We'll have a bunch of coverage of that after practice

572
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: wraps around two o'clock. We'll hear from Sean McDermott and

573
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: several rookies. Interested to see who we hear from, and

574
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: hopefully we can carry it here on one Bills Live.

575
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of things going around here this week.

576
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: One thing we want to continue to discuss is the

577
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: NFL schedule release and the Bills schedule. So joining us

578
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: on the show is ESPN NFL Fantasy Football analyst Mike

579
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: Clay to help dive into what the schedule looks like

580
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: a little bit more, and Mike, I want to talk

581
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: to you about everybody has some different schedule projections and

582
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: in terms of how many wins the Bills could have

583
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: this season, along with the fact that the Bills have

584
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: one of the toughest schedules. Out of the thirty two

585
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: NFL teams, you have Buffalo as having the second hardest schedule.

586
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: Why do you think they've got such a tough stretch

587
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: and such a tough year of games this seas and

588
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: then you had their win projection at eleven point seven,

589
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: So you do think they could win some of those

590
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: really tough games. Do you want to discuss those two

591
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: numbers that you had for the Bills.

592
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, So we said this last year and we can

593
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 5: say it again. The AFC is stacked. There's just so

594
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 5: much talent on that side of the league and it

595
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 5: just keeps getting worse seemingly because you have Aaron Rodgers

596
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 5: now joining not only the AFC but also the AFCE.

597
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 5: So you know, I think that four of the league's

598
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 5: best defenses actually come out of the AFC e s

599
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 5: right just across the board, we know Buffalo is going

600
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 5: to be terrific in that department. The Jets made a

601
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 5: big league last season, hit on some players in the draft,

602
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 5: and obviously their head coaches had some great defenses in

603
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 5: San Francisco. The Patriots are always terrific on the defensive

604
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 5: side of the ball, and honestly, Miami stacked talent on

605
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 5: paper that might be one of certainly a top five

606
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 5: defense on paper. So that's going to make it a

607
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 5: challenge for Buffalo. On top of having won the division

608
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 5: and having to play the other division winners and again

609
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 5: a really good AFC. They have the on the schedule,

610
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 5: we're in the Super Bowl, have the Chiefs on the

611
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 5: schedule who won the Super Bowl last year. So just

612
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 5: top to bottom, it is a really tough slay and

613
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 5: that really starts within their very own division. But you know,

614
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 5: you mentioned the win total. Despite all that, the Bills

615
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 5: are still one of the league's best teams. Right, So

616
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 5: they're going to give all these top teams a challenge,

617
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 5: and I still think they'll be in that eleven to

618
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 5: twelve win range. I think they're the favorite to win

619
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 5: the AFC East and should be so despite the schedule,

620
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 5: I do still think they take the East and they'll

621
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 5: remain a powerhouse in the NFL.

622
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 3: And we see it every year that in the rotation

623
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 3: of the divisional schedules where that this year's the West

624
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 3: and the East and the Bills play, and also they

625
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 3: play the NFC East. Doesn't that also elevate the Dolphins

626
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 3: and the Patriots, And seriously, like the Patriots who play

627
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 3: the Dolphins and the Bills. That makes the Bills and

628
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 3: Dolphins schedules a little easier because of the expectations for

629
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 3: the Patriots, and it makes the Patriots schedule that much harder, right,

630
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 3: I mean, so it's kind of within that AFC East

631
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 3: that the toughest schedules around the league are.

632
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 5: You're exactly right. In fact, the hardest schedule I have

633
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 5: is New England, Right. I have them with the hardest

634
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 5: schedule just to pinch tougher than the Bills. And part

635
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 5: of that is because I have the projected to finish

636
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 5: fourth in that division, which again is not a controversial take.

637
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 6: I think everyone kind of agrees with that.

638
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 5: So yeah, no doubt about it that this applies to

639
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 5: that entire division.

640
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 6: It's going to be a challenge. Really.

641
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 5: What it comes down to is how many wild cards

642
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 5: come out of the division, right, I mean, you might

643
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 5: have to win this division to get into the playoffs

644
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 5: because some other divisions in the AFC might have a

645
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 5: lighter slate and be able to sneak in an extra

646
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 5: win or two and beat out for a wild card.

647
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 5: So again, as long as the Bills do their job,

648
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 5: you know, stay healthy. Obviously they had a bunch of

649
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 5: defensive injuries last year. If they could stay healthy this

650
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,959
Speaker 5: year and live up to the talent on paper, they

651
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 5: should win this division. They shouldn't have to worry much

652
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 5: about the tough schedule.

653
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: Mike, you are a fantasy football expert, and I want

654
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: you to explain to us why schedule release and beyond

655
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: the obvious points, why release really impacts how a person

656
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: should should be looking at their fantasy football teams or

657
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: their upcoming fantasy football drafts. Now that we know what

658
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: slated for every single week, yeah.

659
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 6: So it definitely moves the needle a little bit.

660
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 5: I will say this, I have you know you just

661
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 5: mentioned my strength to schedule is already public.

662
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 6: I mean we kind of knew. I mean, we did

663
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 6: know the opponents all.

664
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 5: Year long, right, so that's kind of been injected into

665
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 5: our fantasy projections and rankings within our game for months now.

666
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 6: But you know, to answer your question.

667
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 5: Specifically, look, if it moves the needle maybe a few spots, right,

668
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 5: this could be the deciding factor over if you take

669
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 5: say Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen that quarterback, you might say, well,

670
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 5: the chief schedule's easier.

671
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 6: It's a close call. I'm going to lean that direction.

672
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 6: So that is a factor.

673
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 5: Again, I would not be surprised if we see some

674
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 5: low scoring games within the AFC East. You know, if

675
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 5: the Bills play the Jets in Week one, that could

676
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 5: be a surprisingly low scoring game because of how could

677
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 5: the defensive play is there? So that concerns me a

678
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 5: little bit. With the teams in this division, including the Bills.

679
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 5: On the other hand, you have teams like the Packers

680
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 5: or the Saints and the teams in the NFC South.

681
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 5: They have much easier schedules this season and that of course,

682
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 5: could could lead to you know, finding some fantasy sleepers

683
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,280
Speaker 5: or upgrading some of the star players on those teams.

684
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 5: So the nice thing though about the Bills is they

685
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 5: still have some depth concerns at wide receiver. And I

686
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 5: say nice from a fantasy perspective because it means we

687
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 5: know where the targets are going. Right, Stevon Tiggs is

688
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 5: in no jeopardy of seeing any sort of drop off

689
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 5: in targets.

690
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 6: Gave Davis should sustain a similar role.

691
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 5: Hopefully they get him more high percentage routes and targets

692
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 5: as opposed to the Marcus Valdez scantling role of just

693
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 5: being a vertical threat. I'd like to see them evolve

694
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 5: his game a little bit more. And of course they

695
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 5: bring in Dalton kin Cage, who should have a role

696
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 5: there at tight end. So I think the big the

697
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 5: big question, honestly, and maybe maybe you guys have some

698
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 5: some feedback here, is who the number one running back

699
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 5: is going to be? Is it just going to be

700
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 5: a three headed committee? Are we going to see more

701
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 5: Nihim Heines or are we getting that James Cook breakout?

702
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 6: That's what I want to know.

703
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's an interesting question. Because the guys they brought

704
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 2: in Latavius.

705
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 3: Murray and Nahiem Hines and the other one who's escaping

706
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 3: me now the other running back, Damian Harris. So they've

707
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 3: got some candidates for that, but it's always been there.

708
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 3: I think modus operandi to rotate those guys in and out.

709
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 3: I don't know that they're running back spot here in

710
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 3: Buffalo's ever going to be a fantasy killer unless something

711
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,240
Speaker 3: changes drastically. I did want to ask you this. You mentioned,

712
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 3: you know, playing defense in the AFC East. How tough

713
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 3: is it to evaluate a defense when you know there's

714
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 3: going to be new faces? And certainly we've seen Tremaine

715
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 3: Edmonds move from the Bills to Chicago, and now you

716
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 3: also have Sean McDermott calling the plays instead of Leslie Fraser.

717
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 3: So there's a lot of unknowns there. It's a lot

718
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 3: like the Denver Broncos. Now Sean Payton's going to be

719
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 3: calling the shots offensively with Russ Wilson, So there's you know,

720
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 3: there's a lot.

721
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 2: Of unknowns in these teams. How do you evaluate their

722
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 2: fantasy value?

723
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 3: Looking at you know, a new head coach who's an

724
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 3: offensive guy taking over and a defensive head coach who's

725
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 3: taken over the defensive side, that it's got to affect

726
00:35:58,320 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 3: it in some way, shape or form.

727
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure, I think you just look at the resume.

728
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 5: I mean, I Trustean McDermott. I'll say that I think

729
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 5: he's going to get the most out of his defense.

730
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 5: And we know he's had his hands on the defense

731
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 5: or an NFL defense going all the way back to

732
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 5: his early days including Carolina. So this is a defense

733
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 5: that you know, no matter who has called the plays

734
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 5: or who has overseen it, or what the personnel has been,

735
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 5: they've gotten the most out of it. And it's been

736
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 5: an effective defense injuries aside, for quite a long time.

737
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 5: And then the other part of that is personnel. Right,

738
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 5: you mentioned Tremada Edmonds. That was a big loss, but

739
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 5: there's still a ton of talent. You know, hopefully von

740
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 5: Miller's healthy, even if he misses a couple of games,

741
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 5: if he's a factor there. I really like the edge

742
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 5: Russian group. The interior led by at Oliver and Jones

743
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 5: really good. The linebacker is a question spot behind Matt Milano.

744
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 6: He's really good.

745
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 5: But behind that, obviously there's some players that need to

746
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 5: prove themselves corner.

747
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 6: I still think will be good.

748
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 5: Right, you're hoping for a leap from elam at corner

749
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,479
Speaker 5: to go with a healthy tredevious wife. Remember he missed

750
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 5: most of the last season or big chunk last season.

751
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 5: Tron Johnson is one of the best slock corners in

752
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 5: the NFL. And then you bring back Poyer and hide

753
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 5: at safe. So I think top to bottom talent wise,

754
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 5: I mean, these stack up with almost anyone. This should

755
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 5: be a top five defense on paper. They had some

756
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 5: bad injury luck. If they stay healthy this year, I

757
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 5: think they'll be fine. And I'm not sure you know

758
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 5: the play color is going to matter much. It's not.

759
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 5: It's not like it's an unknown calling the place, right.

760
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 5: Sean McDermott were the best in the business.

761
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: In your article that you wrote after the schedules got released,

762
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: you projected AFC playoff seeds. I want to run through

763
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: that with your You so number one Chiefs, number two, Bills,

764
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: three Bengals, four Jags, five Dolphins, six Ravens, seven Chargers.

765
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 1: Why did you think the two seed was a good

766
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: spot for the Bills. You've got the Chiefs number one,

767
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: and you got the Cincinnati Bengals at number three. So

768
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: why do you think the Bills could could have one

769
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: up of the Cincinnati Bengals this season?

770
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 5: Well, you know what, I just wanted to stay on

771
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 5: the good side of Bills fans come up really high.

772
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 5: You know, I've had a history at times of being

773
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 5: I try to be as objective as possile. Sometimes that

774
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 5: has led me down a rough road on social media

775
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 5: with Bills fans. But look, there could I mean, like

776
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 5: I said, I think that's the top five team on paper.

777
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 6: You have Josh Allen leading this offense. I'd like to see.

778
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 5: I wish they addressed the offensive line a little bit more,

779
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 5: but I don't know that it's a huge factor with

780
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 5: Josh Allen leading this group. He's just so good at

781
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 5: football and can do it all. And could you know,

782
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 5: if the line breaks down or someone's not open, he

783
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 5: can make plays with his legs. Even if that's down

784
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 5: a little bit, He's still such a good playmaker. And then,

785
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 5: of course, on the defensive side of the ball, as

786
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,720
Speaker 5: I just laid out, they're pretty stacked, So I think that's.

787
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 6: A fair spot.

788
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 5: I don't think anyone's gonna really argue with the Chiefs

789
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 5: and the number one spot. The defending Super Bowl champions

790
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 5: are an absolute powerhouse. They've been better defensively than I

791
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 5: think people realize, and continue to add young players there.

792
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 5: They continue to get better and better. So yeah, I

793
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 5: gave the Chiefs the edge. I think they are the

794
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 5: best team, but the Bills are right there with them,

795
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 5: and if they can overcome this tough schedule, maybe they

796
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 5: do get grab that one.

797
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 6: See it's certainly possible.

798
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 3: Before we go, I know you said you think the

799
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 3: Bills are the best team in the AFC East and

800
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 3: that you expect them to win the division. But the

801
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 3: Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets, those two teams

802
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 3: are significantly better. And for the Dolphins last year, there

803
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 3: was a stretch in there where they were white hot offensively.

804
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 2: They were really tough to stop.

805
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 3: What are your thoughts about the Jets and Aaron Rodgers addition,

806
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 3: how that's gonna be and plus the Bills play him

807
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 3: on Opening Night on Monday Night Football. What are your

808
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 3: thoughts about the AFC East and how it falls behind

809
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 3: the Buffalo Bills.

810
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, that I mean, first of all, that Week one

811
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,479
Speaker 5: game is huge, So that's maybe the game I'm looking

812
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 5: forward to most because it's gonna be an interesting measuring stick.

813
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 5: I feel like there's a lot of people wondering if

814
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 5: the Bills have kind of reached the end of this

815
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 5: kind of run they've had, right, and are they about

816
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 5: to fall off a cliff the division's better, or that

817
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 5: they just kind of run out of steam. Now I

818
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 5: don't think that's the case, right. I still think they

819
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 5: have the talent to make another run at the super Bowl.

820
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 5: So it's gonna be interesting measuring stick facing off with

821
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 5: this Jets team that made a big leap defensively last

822
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 5: season and now finally solves that hole at the quarterback position.

823
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 5: So again, the Bills, you know, early early line is

824
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 5: about three and a half. That's where I sit. I

825
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 5: think they should be able to win that game, but

826
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 5: I'm very intrigued to see how they stack up. By

827
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 5: the way the Jets, I mean to answer your question, Yeah,

828
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 5: it's still a top ten defense on paper, and I

829
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 5: think you can make the case that it's a borderline

830
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 5: top ten offense now that they fix the quarterback situation.

831
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 5: And by the way, we said they fixed the quarterback situation,

832
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 5: I think they did. I think we can all kind

833
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 5: of buy into Aaron Rodgers still has probably another year

834
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,839
Speaker 5: of high end play left, but it didn't go great

835
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 5: last year, right, He had his maybe the worst season

836
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 5: of his career, So it's not for sure, especially with

837
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 5: some suspect offensive line suspect offensive line situation. So again, yes,

838
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 5: the Jets are better borderline top ten team, but I

839
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 5: don't think they stack up with the Bills just yet.

840
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,959
Speaker 1: One more question for me before we sign off. Here,

841
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: you have the Buffalo Bills player projections for this upcoming season,

842
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,919
Speaker 1: and for Josh you have him throwing over forty one

843
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,399
Speaker 1: hundred of passing yards thirty one passing touchdowns. You've got

844
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:02,320
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs at around ninety seven catches, over twelve hundred

845
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: receiving yards, and eight receiving touchdowns. Tell me how you

846
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: came up with those numbers.

847
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, so a lot of factors here, certainly looking at

848
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 5: you know, injury rates is probably why they seem a

849
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,879
Speaker 5: little bit lower. People are generally a little high with projections,

850
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 5: but which is why people like betting overs on when

851
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,439
Speaker 5: the Lions come out for player props. Generally you want

852
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 5: to lead under, so that's why they might seem a

853
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 5: pinch low. But these are some of the best numbers

854
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,800
Speaker 5: in the NFL. Alan, you know we have Alan Endiggs. Honestly,

855
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 5: we have several seasons of them together now. So in

856
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 5: terms of rate stats and usage and average step of

857
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,240
Speaker 5: target and throw how they're going to be utilized, scramble

858
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 5: rates for Allan. As far as the rushing numbers, we

859
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 5: kind of have that laid down, So that's not a

860
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 5: that wasn't a super complicated process. The big one with

861
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 5: NFL projections, it just comes down to injury, right. I mean,

862
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 5: if these guys hold up and miss no more than

863
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 5: a game or two, these numbers should be pretty close

864
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 5: to what they produce. It's just a matter of staying

865
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 5: on the field, right. That's really the big one, and

866
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 5: I know you guys are fully aware of that is

867
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 5: the Bills of Pad. Their their ups and downs with

868
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 5: the injuries over the years, especially on the defensive side

869
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 5: of the ball last year. So again, I've Diggs as

870
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 5: a top six or seven wide receiver right, Nollen second

871
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 5: in my quarterback rank case you can easily.

872
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 6: Put him first. Mahomes, Allen Hurts are all superstars.

873
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 5: It should be another highly productive statistical season for this

874
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 5: This pass heavy, high volume Bills offense.

875
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 2: Mike, thanks so much for some time with his really appreciated.

876
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: All right, you got any time, appreciate it. That is

877
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: Mike Clay of ESPN Fantasy Football Expert. And it's interesting

878
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: to start thinking fantasy football in May. But you know what,

879
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: it makes sense if you're a fantasy football guru, if

880
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: you're somebody who has four or five teams and is

881
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: really into it, the schedule release makes a lot of

882
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: sense for when you can start thinking about things of

883
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 1: you know, who do I maybe want to go after,

884
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 1: who's an under the radar team that it might be

885
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,320
Speaker 1: worth drafting some players from because they have an easier schedule.

886
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 2: I don't, I'll play.

887
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: You're like, that's beyond me. I'm the crazy person.

888
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 3: This right here is the rookie roster for rookie tryouts

889
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 3: and the rookie class that is here now today. So

890
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 3: there's some of the there might be a name or

891
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 3: too well the draft classes on here. So those guys

892
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 3: are gonna be on the club, and there's some guys

893
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 3: trying out here. We don't even know what the final

894
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 3: rosters are gonna be. And it's really interesting. Who would

895
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 3: have thought last year that Christian Benford would have been

896
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 3: on the field opening day as starting corner. Things like

897
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 3: that happen, and they happen every year. So for fantasy guys,

898
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 3: you got to get on top of it in state

899
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 3: current or you're gonna get left behind.

900
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, you really do. Those projections are also cool

901
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: to look at as well. Love that he has digs

902
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: going over one thousand yards. Also six hundred and thirty

903
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: two rushing year yards for Josh Allen in six rushing touchdowns.

904
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: I'm okay with the number like that. One hundred and

905
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 1: thirteen attempts. You know, Josh Allen's gonna scramble. That's a

906
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: part of his gaze.

907
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred and thirteen attempts and zero hits would

908
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:55,839
Speaker 3: be nice.

909
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, sign me up for that please. All right. We

910
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: are hanging on for Sean McDermott and a couple of

911

Speaker 1: rookies to be available after Rookie Mini Camp. Hopefully that

00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:50,320
Speaker 2: Cindy scene is a little bit better no question.

936
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:52,919
Speaker 3: Well, I can understand if you wanted to see that

937
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 3: the Jaguars game, You're right sending it to London stinks.

938
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 3: You can see it coming a mile away, though. Really,

939
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 3: Broncos and Bucks home night games, I don't know why

940
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,720
Speaker 3: she won't. I mean, those are two games that should

941
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,919
Speaker 3: be winnable. I don't know who else she would want

942
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 3: for a night game, maybe a bigger game, I don't know,

943
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 3: a different Brett match up, Cindy.

944
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 1: I will say this, Brownie and I picked our top

945
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 1: five games for the show that we taped yesterday, and

946
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,760
Speaker 1: our top five games were, of course, you're gonna put

947
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,959
Speaker 1: the Eagles, Chiefs, and Bengals on there, and our two

948
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: other ones were the Jets to open the season and

949
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 1: the Dolphins to close the season. Those five games are

950
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: all away games. It is a tough road schedule for

951
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: the Bills. If you look at some of the biggest games,

952
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: if you're already identifying what are going to be the

953
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 1: biggest games on the schedule this year, those are the

954
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:49,800
Speaker 1: five top games, probably some of the most toughest games

955
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: that the Bills are going to be a part of

956
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 1: this season, and they're all on the road. Maybe you

957
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: wish you know, one of those would have been a

958
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: home game for the Bills. I can totally understand that.

959
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 3: Well, the Jets and Dolphins you get a home and

960
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 3: home with you do you do? But the Bengals, Eagles

961
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 3: and Chiefs three of the top and some people have

962
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,760
Speaker 3: them one two three three two one two one three whatever.

963
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 3: You want to mix those three up as the top

964
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 3: teams in the league, and you've got them all on

965
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:13,720
Speaker 3: the road.

966
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's rough. But you knew it was coming. I

967
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 2: mean you could see it from for weeks.

968
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 1: We already knew what are away games.

969
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 2: You knew what they were gonna be.

970
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 3: So whenever they are, I mean, I don't know that

971
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 3: it makes that much difference, except you know, you got

972
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 3: the Bengals and the Chiefs and you get a bye

973
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 3: week between them.

974
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 2: So was it helpful you get Yeah, let's see, you get.

975
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 1: Get a bye week in between the Eagles and Chiefs.

976
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,839
Speaker 2: Right, that's right? So there you go. Yeah, all right,

977
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 2: So I don't know, I'm with you.

978
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: We go from it stinks to Bill says, I love

979
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 1: it a lot of We've got a variety of thoughts here,

980
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: which I'm a fan of. Bill says, I love it.

981
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: It makes me think of being an elementary school kid

982
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 1: through my early twenties. You're an elementary school kid through

983
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 1: your early twenties.

984
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,800
Speaker 3: What no, he from the time he was in elementary

985
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,800
Speaker 3: kid through the timings in his twenties is what he's saying.

986
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: Used to get a lot of late window home games.

987
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: Haven't had many other than week seventeen ones in a

988
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: decade and a half. So yeah, I'm glad Bill likes it.

989
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 1: A lot of late window home games. Yeah, okay, a

990
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: lot in the front half of the season.

991
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 2: Bill was not saying he was in elementary school.

992
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: I'm kidding.

993
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 2: It was pretty funny though.

994
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Bills have got a ton of big window games.

995
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 3: They are gonna everybody's gonna be watching this team. They're

996
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 3: gonna get it intimately familiar with Josh allenstep Diggs and crew.

997
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 3: They're gonna be it on a four to twenty five,

998
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,359
Speaker 3: eight twenty eight to fifteen, eight thirty, I mean all

999
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 3: the night games. They've got a ton six primetime games

1000
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:51,760
Speaker 3: and four in a row four to twenty five window games.

1001
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 3: You're not gonna be able to get away from the

1002
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 3: Bills this this season on television.

1003
00:48:56,560 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: I know john says, glad the Jets are week one.

1004
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 1: They won't have total team chemistry. Maybe we can flatten them.

1005
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 2: Continuity is a thing, it is.

1006
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 3: I think the Bills really showed that last year in

1007
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 3: the opener and in Week two the Titans were going

1008
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 3: through a little bit of a transition and the Rams

1009
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 3: were coming off a Super Bowl win and they were

1010
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 3: hung over a little bit, no question. I think last

1011
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 3: year the entire season turned out that way. But they

1012
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 3: were healthy enough when the Bills played, and with Matt

1013
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 3: Stafford in there and stuff, you know, Aaron Donald, the

1014
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 3: whole crew, Jalen Ramsey and the Bills walked in there

1015
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 3: and played really well. That has been one of the

1016
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 3: hallmarks of the Sean McDermott era. The team has usually

1017
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 3: gotten off to a really fast start, even despite two

1018
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 3: years ago when they lost on opening Day to the

1019
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh Steelers. You know, they got over that real quick.

1020
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 3: They were still, you know, had a lot of wins

1021
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 3: in there early in the season. So I'm with that.

1022
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 3: I think that is a plus for Buffalo rather than

1023
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 3: the Jets. Certainly, Aaron Rodgers and the Jets are going

1024
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 3: to be really healthy, probably without Breece Hall but still

1025
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 3: they'll be healthy otherwise, and the Bills certainly should be

1026
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 3: as well, so although they may be without Vaughn, still Yeah.

1027
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 1: Eighth three, five point fifty is where you can reach

1028
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 1: us at If you have some thoughts about the schedule

1029
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 1: and want to share those with us, please give us

1030
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 1: a call. The phone lines are open. We're going to

1031
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 1: take a break. When we come back, we'll discuss a

1032
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 1: little bit more schedule and hopefully here from Sean McDermott

1033
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: and some rookies here soon enough. Where One Bill's Live

1034
00:50:35,640 --> 00:51:12,879
Speaker 1: on Kaleida Health on Buffalo Bill's Radio.

1035
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 7: This is One Bills Live presented by Callida Health.

1036
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:27,839
Speaker 1: Welcome in to One Bills Live, our final hour of

1037
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 1: the show on Friday afternoon. Matti Glab alongside Steve Tasker

1038
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 1: and the Bills are wrapping up rookie mini camp for today.

1039
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 1: That's gonna go throughout the weekend. The guys were on

1040
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:42,400
Speaker 1: the field getting some reps in and a few of

1041
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 1: our rookies have actually signed their contracts. Five of them

1042
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 1: have signed, Osirius Torrens, Dorian Williams, Justin Shorter, Nick Broker,

1043
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:53,399
Speaker 1: and Alex Austen Dolan. Kin Kaid has not signed yet,

1044
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:56,439
Speaker 1: but I would guess we will be announcing that soon

1045
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: once he signs. And Brandon Bean is now at the

1046
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 1: podium answering some questions after this first rookie mini camp practice.

1047
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: So let's go over to Brandon.

1048
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:07,919
Speaker 4: Just ask your brother Cyrus Torrance again.

1049
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, going from a group of five to a power five.

1050
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 9: Did you look at his Louisiana tape a lot to

1051
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 9: see how he transitioned to Florida.

1052
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:20,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, definitely watched his last season there and then, you know,

1053
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 10: and see what the differences were, if there were any.

1054
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 10: I mean, honestly, his tape was pretty consistent at Louisiana

1055
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 10: Lafayette and you didn't see like a drop in his

1056
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:32,760
Speaker 10: level of play even going to Florida.

1057
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 11: That's where that's what gives you confidence.

1058
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 10: Definitely when you're if he just stayed there the whole time,

1059
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:40,959
Speaker 10: you know, you're going, Okay, it's gonna be a bigger jump.

1060
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 11: I still still.

1061
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 10: Trust it or not, but I think it was an

1062
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:49,919
Speaker 10: easier evaluation seeing him play against you know, Jayden Carter

1063
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 10: and some of those guys at Georgia and obviously some

1064
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 10: of the other schools that they faced in the SEC.

1065
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 12: They're generally speaking, like over the years, how beneficial do

1066
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 12: you find these rookie mini camps in terms of players

1067
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 12: making transition and after that?

1068
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:06,400
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean it's a hard it's a hard of

1069
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 10: them because these guys haven't been playing football a lot

1070
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 10: of them.

1071
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 11: Some of them were not an.

1072
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:12,840
Speaker 10: All Star game, some of them weren't in playoffs, some

1073
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 10: of their seasons ended a long time ago, and so

1074
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 10: you try and warn them the best you can, uh

1075
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 10: get in shape. But you know, we we already had

1076
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:22,959
Speaker 10: a few guys that are cramping, and uh, they're gonna

1077
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 10: get get in there and get some treatment. So it's

1078
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 10: it's hard. And the other part of it is you

1079
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 10: gotta you got quite a wide ranging skill set. You

1080
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 10: got you got guys trying out versus first round pick sometimes,

1081
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 10: you know, and at different positions.

1082
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 11: So it's it's a harder evaluation for sure.

1083
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 10: I was just talking to Mike Shula about when they

1084
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 10: drafted Saquon and uh, he was talking about watching Saquon

1085
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 10: go against some of the guys he went against and they.

1086
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 11: Were just doing one on ones and he's like he

1087
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 11: was cooking dudes, you know.

1088
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 10: But so it's a it's a different level it's really

1089
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 10: you're just trying to the main thing, teach them some

1090
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 10: things and see what they can learn process all that stuff,

1091
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 10: especially guys that are not.

1092
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 11: Some of the tryout guys.

1093
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,320
Speaker 10: We do have serious interest, you know, every year we

1094
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 10: signed i think last year in JaMarcus Ingram and Kingsley,

1095
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,879
Speaker 10: you know, from this camp. So we've signed some guys

1096
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:22,879
Speaker 10: in the past. We're definitely evaluating some of these other guys,

1097
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 10: and part of that is how are they mentally, you know, fitting.

1098
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 11: Is this going to be a big adjustment or are

1099
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 11: they picking it up pretty quick?

1100
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:32,280
Speaker 13: Questions on Dawnton k K today.

1101
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 10: I thought he did a good job, same thing. It's

1102
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 10: been a while for him because he had the back deal,

1103
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 10: which you know, eliminated a lot of his spring work.

1104
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:43,760
Speaker 11: But I thought he did a good job. Caught the ball, easy,

1105
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 11: moved moved well. Again, you can't simulate this.

1106
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 10: He can work out, he can run on the track,

1107
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 10: he can run forties, he can do everything, but simulating

1108
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 10: what he's doing today first time out, Like anything, there's

1109
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 10: some things that are rusty, and he's it's the first

1110
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 10: time he's applying things he's been taught, you know, just

1111
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 10: in a couple.

1112
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 11: Of days here of what he's got to apply, you know,

1113
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,399
Speaker 11: on the grass. So you know, overall, good job.

1114
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 10: He'll he'll he'll be a sponge and it'll it'll look

1115
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,279
Speaker 10: easier and easier for him once he gets in with

1116
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 10: the Vets starting next week.

1117
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:23,479
Speaker 9: I'm sorry, what's the path that led you to Shane

1118
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 9: was a first round pick from eight years ago?

1119
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 2: I know he's in the CFL, but how.

1120
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:28,279
Speaker 6: Do you get into a guy like that year?

1121
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:32,439
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, we're always looking at guys and sometimes there's

1122
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 10: guys in his case that you may just bring out.

1123
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 10: You guys, see we worked out a player or whatever

1124
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,359
Speaker 10: this time of year, if you're you know, we didn't.

1125
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 10: We didn't hit on any d ns after the draft

1126
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:49,279
Speaker 10: as far as guys to sign, and so that's why

1127
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,279
Speaker 10: we were excited to get the kid Cameron Klein uh

1128
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 10: last week that we claimed from Indy. And and then

1129
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,800
Speaker 10: you know we probably at some point may look to

1130
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:03,239
Speaker 10: at a d end between now and start a camp,

1131
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 10: and so we're just instead of doing a workout, here's

1132
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 10: a guy out there, let's bring him in here for

1133
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 10: a couple of days again, test his knowledge, test his

1134
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 10: skill set, see where he's at and.

1135
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:16,320
Speaker 11: You know it's called we call it kicking the tires.

1136
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 14: What was what was intriguing about dj Dale to sign

1137
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 14: him as an undrafted kid.

1138
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, he's just a steady Eddie type player there,

1139
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:29,479
Speaker 10: strong against the run, shows some flashes of some rush.

1140
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 11: I would say he's more of a run player and

1141
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 11: just another body.

1142
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 10: When you ask the people at Alabama like this was

1143
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:38,799
Speaker 10: one of the leaders of the d line room, there

1144
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 10: are just a lot of positives from personality, football character,

1145
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,319
Speaker 10: all those things that we think will help him, as

1146
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 10: you know, be a pro here.

1147
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 6: When the schedule comes out, what's the first thing you look.

1148
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:55,319
Speaker 11: For week one? As always? Who that is? I look

1149
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:57,800
Speaker 11: at our you know, when do we play our division teams.

1150
00:56:58,400 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 10: I did look to see when we played the Dog

1151
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 10: this year to see if we had to go in

1152
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 10: the scorching heat or not. And I was excited to

1153
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 10: see that was a little bit later in the year

1154
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 10: and then the bye week. Yeah, that's probably the main

1155
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 10: things that immediately jump out to.

1156
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 12: Ask you about that too, because it was it's been

1157
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 12: since twenty fifteen since we've covered an international game. Back then,

1158
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 12: there was a buye that you just said you buy

1159
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 12: after it now.

1160
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 2: You have a choice to decline that, right.

1161
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 12: Yeah, it seems like a week thirteen by given the

1162
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 12: stretch run, and it seems like it worked out.

1163
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 11: That decision worked out pretty well that year. Yeah, thank Adam.

1164
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 10: We knew talking to them when we were going to

1165
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:35,120
Speaker 10: have a London game that it was going to be

1166
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 10: earlier in the year. If it was if the London

1167
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 10: game was you know, mid season or later, we probably

1168
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:43,480
Speaker 10: would take it there. But as being week five, we

1169
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 10: just you know, we decided, hey, if you can give

1170
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 10: us a home game one on one side of it,

1171
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 10: which we got a home on both, we would rather

1172
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 10: do that and get that break later in the season.

1173
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 10: The last couple of years we've had those Thanksgiving games,

1174
00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 10: so we've tried to work what we can call them

1175
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 10: anibuy around that.

1176
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 11: But this year getting to buy late, you know, we

1177
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 11: we liked that setup.

1178
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 13: Is there anything or anybody that stood out to you

1179
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 13: out there seeing them on around with each other the

1180
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 13: first time?

1181
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean nothing in particular. It's just more.

1182
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:18,439
Speaker 10: Watching the guys move. Some guys, you know, some guys

1183
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 10: are are moving a little easier than others. Different skill

1184
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,320
Speaker 10: sets too, So I don't want to call out one

1185
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 10: one or player. It's it's one day, first time out tomorrow.

1186
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 10: You know, you look for all right, who was consistently

1187
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 10: doing it right versus who had a good day to

1188
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 10: day not a good day tomorrow.

1189
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 11: You know, or vice versa.

1190
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 8: I talked to you since poon Afford signing.

1191
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:40,439
Speaker 2: Just what went?

1192
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 8: Where do you see him in the defensive line? And

1193
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 8: why why did you end up signing him?

1194
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, Poona was a guy that we stayed very interested in,

1195
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 10: you know, through the free agent process, but couldn't get

1196
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 10: them to agree to my deal that we were working

1197
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 10: with some others on and so we just stayed in

1198
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 10: contact and and once we you know, once we didn't

1199
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 10: get one from the draft, you know, you know, we

1200
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 10: stayed connected and said, all right, let's let's talk, you know,

1201
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:12,320
Speaker 10: next week. And I know he had some interest and

1202
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 10: according to the agent, I believe he turned down a

1203
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 10: little bit more money to come here.

1204
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 11: So like that.

1205
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:22,200
Speaker 10: Ultimately, he's a guy that's he's a pro. He started

1206
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 10: a lot of games. He's a really good run player.

1207
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 10: I think he can help in the rush at a minimum.

1208
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:32,440
Speaker 10: He's pushing that pocket to keep that quarterback from stepping up,

1209
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 10: you know, He's not an elusive guy in there, but

1210
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 10: he's stout, plays good. He helps you know your whole

1211
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 10: group with the rush. He's in there again, he helps

1212
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 10: you get to a third down by stopping that run.

1213
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:47,600
Speaker 8: With you about like post draft about you know, you

1214
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 8: had said that signing someone to that defensive tackle, you know,

1215
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 8: or drafting or whatever, there's still no one under contract

1216
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 8: past this, you know, like class the season, that is

1217
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:57,960
Speaker 8: that something that you feel like you need to address,

1218
00:59:58,120 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 8: like before the season, like how.

1219
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 1: Much an urgency is that?

1220
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean listen there, I would like to not

1221
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 10: end the season, you know, by the end of the

1222
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 10: season and be at zero.

1223
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 11: That would that would be my hope.

1224
01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 10: But it would have to make sense, you know, if

1225
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 10: it's somebody that's here now, it would have to make

1226
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 10: sense to do an extension, you know, with any of

1227
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 10: those guys. So we'll see, you know me, well, you know,

1228
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:27,760
Speaker 10: we've we've found a way to sometimes do an extension

1229
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 10: or two, you know, in training camp. So you know,

1230
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 10: maybe we look at it at that point, see where

1231
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:36,120
Speaker 10: the guys are at, who's who's all in, who's who's

1232
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 10: looking good, and and if there's a chance to get

1233
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:39,920
Speaker 10: one extended.

1234
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 11: We might would look to do that prop.

1235
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 15: Forris working with Kincaid a little bit individually. How much

1236
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 15: can this line help and the bets aren't here that they.

1237
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 2: Can work a little more closely together.

1238
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think right now it's you're hoping to get

1239
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 10: that transition. He's not going to be up to speed

1240
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 10: with the playbook and some of the concepts that we use.

1241
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 10: You know, we've kind of evaluated his skill set. We

1242
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,680
Speaker 10: saw how Utah used him, We'll use him in some

1243
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 10: of the same ways, but some of our route concepts.

1244
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 10: You know, you're kind of trying that out, experimenting with

1245
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 10: him a little bit. What he what he can do, well,

1246
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 10: you know what he can't. So just trying to really

1247
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 10: get him up to speed so that you know, next

1248
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:19,760
Speaker 10: week still phase two, but the following week we start

1249
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:22,200
Speaker 10: these OTAs and so when he's out there with with

1250
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 10: Josh and the other quarterbacks that hopefully that's a little

1251
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 10: more natural, you know, by that point.

1252
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 14: And Shorter was the number one high school recruit wide

1253
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 14: receiver coming out of coming out of high school. I

1254
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 14: mean that too many guys can say that, So, I mean,

1255
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 14: he's been an impressive athlete for a long time. Do

1256
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 14: you feel like maybe there's a little bit more there

1257
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 14: to unlock than what you know, maybe he showed at

1258
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 14: times in college.

1259
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think, you know, again, you never know their journeys.

1260
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 10: I was talking to Sally about this a while ago.

1261
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 10: These are these are not robots, and we weren't talking

1262
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:54,880
Speaker 10: about him but just players.

1263
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 11: These are not robots.

1264
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 10: Life happens to people for various reasons, and sometimes people

1265
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:05,720
Speaker 10: hit obstacles or whatever. But we feel that his best football,

1266
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 10: you know, could and should be ahead of him if

1267
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 10: he puts in the work.

1268
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 11: We really liked him. We brought him in for the

1269
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:13,640
Speaker 11: thirty Visit really felt like this was.

1270
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 10: Our kind of DNA being around him a little bit

1271
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 10: more and that he he acknowledged that there's more in

1272
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 10: his game that and so hopefully working with coach Henry

1273
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 10: and and endorsing all those guys, that we can grow him.

1274
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:27,040
Speaker 11: But it also gives us some confidence.

1275
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:29,000
Speaker 10: The guy has been a really good fourth down player

1276
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 10: in college and a lot of times that's how guys

1277
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 10: they get that jersey on game day, and so they've

1278
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:38,640
Speaker 10: got to know the offense or they got another defense,

1279
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 10: and ultimately at some point they're going to be in

1280
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 10: the game and Josh Allen's gonna have to throw to him.

1281
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:45,360
Speaker 11: So a lots on him. We believe in him.

1282
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:47,920
Speaker 10: Uh, you can see with his you know, he's a

1283
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:50,480
Speaker 10: he's a pretty looking dude, you know, up on him,

1284
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:53,160
Speaker 10: you know, you like you like the build and so

1285
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 10: we just got to work with him.

1286
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 11: But we like his DNA and think there's some good upside.

1287
01:02:57,560 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 10: Jay And when the when the veterans come to time

1288
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 10: in a couple of weeks for the four of these practices,

1289
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:04,960
Speaker 10: what's your initial plan with Osiris in terms of last purchase?

1290
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 11: Right where do you want to begin him?

1291
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 10: We'll move you know, we we don't usually just put

1292
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:12,560
Speaker 10: him in one So I would say definitely the two

1293
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 10: guards and just let them move around. And you know

1294
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:19,840
Speaker 10: it's going to be a competition, you know between now

1295
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 10: and when we start the season. You know, at guard

1296
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 10: we got some guys again between him, Bates, we signed mcgoverned,

1297
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 10: David Edwards played a lot ike Bucker's back. I mean,

1298
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 10: we we like our depth there and we've made no

1299
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:37,520
Speaker 10: promises to anybody. You know, it's gonna be the best

1300
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:40,240
Speaker 10: man wins. And it's the same thing at the you know,

1301
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:43,240
Speaker 10: the corner position. Last year, we threw several bodies at it.

1302
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,840
Speaker 10: We brought Dane back, we brought Christian Benford in, We

1303
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:49,080
Speaker 10: drafted Kayir. We don't care where how we got you,

1304
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 10: and we're just gonna line them up and best man

1305
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:54,520
Speaker 10: wins man.

1306
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:59,160
Speaker 13: When how are you on Tyrell Shavers?

1307
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:02,000
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean we liked he's got a skill set

1308
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:06,040
Speaker 10: and that's why we signed him after the draft. And

1309
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 10: so ultimately, you know, there's always the game. There's always

1310
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 10: a lot of different styles of receivers. Now again, I've

1311
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:16,440
Speaker 10: talked about with seven on sevens, there's so many different

1312
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:20,200
Speaker 10: ones you got inside out and outside to end.

1313
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:23,120
Speaker 11: So he's just another guy who had some success in college.

1314
01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 10: I was not able to spend much time in the

1315
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:29,920
Speaker 10: pre draft process around him, and so we think he

1316
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 10: his skill set, you know, gives him a chance at

1317
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 10: least to compete. And then you know those guys, if

1318
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 10: they don't make it, you hope it's a guy that

1319
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 10: you say, man, I want this guy in my practice squad.

1320
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 6: The last one.

1321
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 2: What have you learned about Dalton?

1322
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:45,320
Speaker 9: I know you just said in a couple of days, right,

1323
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:46,960
Speaker 9: so it's very early on in the process, But what

1324
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:48,720
Speaker 9: have you learned just have him in the building, seen

1325
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 9: him out on the practice field. That kind of goes

1326
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:53,920
Speaker 9: with the scouting that you did, everything that you did

1327
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:55,280
Speaker 9: leaning up to the draft.

1328
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:57,080
Speaker 2: And then to get him to a position to be

1329
01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 2: betty to have an impact and once the season start.

1330
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:03,160
Speaker 10: Yeah, the thing I've noticed about him being around him

1331
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 10: a little bit more from bringing him in.

1332
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 11: Is he's steady Eddy Like he catches the ball.

1333
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 10: I don't I don't know if I ever saw him

1334
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:14,120
Speaker 10: like give some fist pump, but if he dropped the

1335
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:16,600
Speaker 10: ball like he did want it on a little end

1336
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 10: breaker he did, he didn't drop that. You don't see

1337
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:22,120
Speaker 10: him like pouting or getting in his hand, goes right

1338
01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 10: back out there. The next ball is over the middle,

1339
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:28,479
Speaker 10: plucks it like I like that, Like he's just next play.

1340
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 10: And that's kind of when you talk to him like cool,

1341
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:34,960
Speaker 10: You're almost like are you ready or you fired up?

1342
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:35,920
Speaker 2: Like he's just like this.

1343
01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:37,520
Speaker 10: But I think that's part of what makes him a

1344
01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:41,880
Speaker 10: good player. And so that's that's the early return that

1345
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 10: I've got on him. He's just he's just soaking it in,

1346
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:48,040
Speaker 10: coming in working just like he's an undrafted kid, like

1347
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:52,600
Speaker 10: mouth shut you know, head down, eyes up, that's what

1348
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:53,040
Speaker 10: I see.

1349
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. That's general manager Brandon Bean on his

1350
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:01,280
Speaker 1: takeaways from the first practice of Rookie Mini Camp. These

1351
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 1: guys will be here throughout the weekend. Several udfas and

1352
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 1: tryout players also a part of the Rookie Mini Camp roster,

1353
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 1: so there's several guys out there. It's not a small

1354
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:13,800
Speaker 1: bunch at all, because they have a lot of guys

1355
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:16,919
Speaker 1: trying out for spots on this roster throughout the rest

1356
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:20,280
Speaker 1: of the offseason and possibly even into the regular season.

1357
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 1: We've got some callers hanging on the line, So let's

1358
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 1: go to Jerry, who has been hanging on for a

1359
01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:28,040
Speaker 1: little while. Jerry, you're on with us. What do you

1360
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:30,520
Speaker 1: have for us about the schedule? What do you think

1361
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 1: of the way that it's laid out, and what do

1362
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:34,000
Speaker 1: you think of some of the opponents.

1363
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 16: Maddie's so nice to talk to you.

1364
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:38,680
Speaker 1: Good to talk to you as well.

Speaker 7: Thank you.

1369
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:51,840
Speaker 16: Oh my god, it's scary. I think this is a

1370
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:56,600
Speaker 16: very scary schedule. I think pretty we're definitely going to

1371
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:59,080
Speaker 16: be either either be a participant or be playing when

1372
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:03,200
Speaker 16: the participants was Super Bowl. I do believe this season

1373
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:07,080
Speaker 16: a couple of other things. I'd just like to say,

1374
01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:09,920
Speaker 16: would you please pass on to Chris Brown that they

1375
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:12,320

1376
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 16: couple of months ago at Wegmans, and I would and

1377
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:22,720
Speaker 16: I would love to Sean would humor me just once.

1378
01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:25,080
Speaker 16: I've been calling this a couple of times. Steve might remember.

1379
01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:27,680
Speaker 16: I would just love just once to see Ed Oliver

1380
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 16: play on the edge with the side it was a

1381
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 16: speed and everything. Just see how he how that would work.

1382
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 16: But that's all I got to say. I'll listen to

1383

Speaker 1: Guys, all right, thanks for the call, Jerry.

1385
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:41,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, we knew it was gonna be a tough schedule.

1386
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:44,320
Speaker 3: We knew the opponents going in, we knew the homes

1387
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:49,200
Speaker 3: in a way everything now knowing when they are I

1388
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:53,919
Speaker 3: think is it's fun and knowing how interested everybody else

1389
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:56,919
Speaker 3: outside of Bill's Mafia is in watching the team, which

1390
01:07:56,960 --> 01:08:00,560
Speaker 3: it seems like everybody. That's kind of fun. But we

1391
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 3: knew it was gonna be a tough schedule. We knew

1392
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:04,080
Speaker 3: the Bengals were on it. We knew the Chiefs were

1393
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:08,800
Speaker 3: on it. We knew the Jets and the Dolphins and

1394
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 3: the Eagles, all those teams, so you knew it was

1395
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:15,840
Speaker 3: gonna be tough. And seeing it all laid out in order,

1396
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:17,240
Speaker 3: there's a couple of things.

1397
01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:17,840
Speaker 2: Yes, it is.

1398
01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:20,760
Speaker 3: There are difficult teams to play. They're difficult team games

1399
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:24,840
Speaker 3: to win. But this is also a team that there

1400
01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 3: are a lot of people on our schedule that have

1401
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:31,840
Speaker 3: this game with the Bills schedule Yees circled, so they

1402
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:32,840
Speaker 3: got to play us too.

1403
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:35,640
Speaker 1: They're ready for a challenge like this. This team is

1404
01:08:36,280 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 1: battle tested, they've been through it the last couple of years,

1405
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:43,400
Speaker 1: and they're ready for a couple of games that are

1406
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 1: gonna be tougher games that are gonna be against teams

1407
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:48,560
Speaker 1: who were in the Super Bowl and a lot of

1408
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:52,720
Speaker 1: playoff contending teams that were playoff teams from last year

1409
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:55,960
Speaker 1: that will be this year again. It all kind of

1410
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:59,599
Speaker 1: starts to take shape a little bit more meaning when

1411
01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:01,760
Speaker 1: you start to see it and how it's organized. I

1412
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 1: know we've known those opponents for a while, but once

1413
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:06,519
Speaker 1: you see it kind of laid out week by week,

1414
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:09,479
Speaker 1: it starts to take a different type of shape and

1415
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:13,240
Speaker 1: a different type of meaning as we inch closer and closer.

1416
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:15,240
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say to the season yet, but to

1417
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:18,960
Speaker 1: training camp. Here in a couple of months, we have

1418
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:22,880
Speaker 1: got Osirius Torrents. He's been meeting with the media. So

1419
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:25,719
Speaker 1: let's go over to one of the newest draft picks

1420
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:29,479
Speaker 1: on the offensive line. Here's Osyrus with your boys.

1421
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 4: Feel great to be out there just in the football

1422
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:35,920
Speaker 4: environment again, just being outstairs with the ball down, going

1423
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:38,400
Speaker 4: through like actual football players, other than like comby training

1424
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 4: what I've been doing for the last few months. So

1425
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:40,840
Speaker 4: you feel great?

1426
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:43,240
Speaker 6: Anything different than college camp?

1427
01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:47,800
Speaker 4: I let the the technique, the technique part and just

1428
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:49,840
Speaker 4: the more attention to details on the little things. I

1429
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:52,280
Speaker 4: could say, he's probably the more He's probably the most

1430
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:53,720
Speaker 4: different part of it. So Farth.

1431
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:56,559
Speaker 6: So you're working with Aaron Kromer a little bit.

1432
01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 9: Have you had What were your interactions with coach Kromer

1433
01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:00,160
Speaker 9: before you've Cainger was.

1434
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:01,080
Speaker 6: Like out there with its day.

1435
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:02,760
Speaker 4: Uh, it was kind of the same as it was

1436
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:04,880
Speaker 4: going through the whole draft process. His personallygis to a

1437
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 4: type of coach is this is kind of the same

1438
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:08,439
Speaker 4: feeling I got of when I met him at the

1439
01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:11,040
Speaker 4: combine and uh other times before before I was picked here.

1440
01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:14,080
Speaker 4: So it was just good and just fun actually just

1441
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 4: being out there in the environment being coach bound.

1442
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:19,880
Speaker 12: Well sarious I talked about first impressions a second ago.

1443
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:24,120
Speaker 12: Is this pretty much what you expected? And and how

1444
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:26,320
Speaker 12: valuable do you think? I suppose you won't know until

1445
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:28,360
Speaker 12: the veterans joined, but how valuable do you think this

1446
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:31,719
Speaker 12: time is as you as you transition to the National

1447
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:32,720
Speaker 12: football h I.

1448
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:34,720
Speaker 4: I think I think it's real valuable. It's kind of

1449
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:37,160
Speaker 4: like just getting a h A F I wanna say,

1450
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:39,080
Speaker 4: a first start black cause just a pre pre run

1451
01:10:39,160 --> 01:10:41,920
Speaker 4: off how everything's gonna be with when the uh other

1452
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:43,600
Speaker 4: guys get here, and just kind of give me a

1453
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 4: chance to learn the offense, to feel comfortable in the offense,

1454
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:48,120
Speaker 4: to learn and plays things like that. For like this

1455
01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:49,960
Speaker 4: whole time, it's very important for me to get down

1456
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:52,040
Speaker 4: a basically of the office so I could play as

1457
01:10:52,080 --> 01:10:53,680
Speaker 4: fast as I can when everybody else get here and

1458
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:54,479
Speaker 4: have a chance.

1459
01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 13: How much of it is this this process that you've

1460
01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 13: been able to digest, I mean from playing and your

1461
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:03,120
Speaker 13: last game at Florida to you know, the tr your

1462
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:06,040
Speaker 13: training to, you know, going to visits to all types

1463
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:09,040
Speaker 13: of organizations. It's getting drafted and then now all the

1464
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:10,639
Speaker 13: sudden you hear in the Bill's uniform.

1465
01:11:11,080 --> 01:11:13,320
Speaker 4: Uh it, it's been a lot. I actually thought about

1466
01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:14,800
Speaker 4: it last night though. I mean, it's been a long

1467
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:17,479
Speaker 4: rise my last game. But honestly, I just try to

1468
01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:19,439
Speaker 4: take it one day at a time and just enjoy it,

1469
01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:22,000
Speaker 4: cause I hear it. That's a lot. A lot of

1470
01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 4: guys's been telling me, like, just enjoy the time, cause

1471
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:26,160
Speaker 4: they go by fast. And before I wouldn't believe it,

1472
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:27,560
Speaker 4: but when I think about it, my fresh man in

1473
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:29,200
Speaker 4: college they told me the same thing and then it

1474
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:31,640
Speaker 4: went by fast. So like right now, just kind of

1475
01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:33,000
Speaker 4: just enjoyed taking one day at a time.

1476
01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:36,360
Speaker 5: How the Cromer's techniques and what he's teaching you compare

1477
01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:40,760
Speaker 5: to what you've been doing through your college career, uh it, it's.

1478
01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 4: A it's a little different because of he he used

1479
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 4: techniques based off like all body types, so like some

1480
01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:48,080
Speaker 4: guys are a little more powerful or quicker, so like

1481
01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:50,880
Speaker 4: these different techniques. So I just I like how you

1482
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 4: kind of flexible with it, like you don't have to

1483
01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:55,439
Speaker 4: do a certain way, just like prefer you do it

1484
01:11:55,479 --> 01:11:57,439
Speaker 4: this well, just you can. You can tweak his techniques

1485
01:11:57,439 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 4: a little bit to fit the way your play started.

1486
01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:00,360
Speaker 3: So I I like it.

1487
01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 6: So even if it's even.

1488
01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:04,360
Speaker 9: If it's the same guy playing your position playball, playing

1489
01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:07,000
Speaker 9: left guard, let's say maybe a bigger guy, which a

1490
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:10,040
Speaker 9: smaller guy, he might teach it differently because it's more conducive.

1491
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:10,360
Speaker 6: To that body type.

1492
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:12,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, basically yeah, so I I I I like that

1493
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:14,400
Speaker 4: type of coach and how he does it just give

1494
01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:16,000
Speaker 4: me a kind of like put me in the best

1495
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:17,880
Speaker 4: PERSI position to be the best player I can be.

1496
01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:21,200
Speaker 13: Yeah, Now, were you comfortable playing on the left side, Diday?

1497
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:22,879
Speaker 13: And see you over there on the left side a little.

1498
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:24,680
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, I'm I'm more comfortable on the right.

1499
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:26,479
Speaker 4: But today was more of just trying to get M

1500
01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:29,080
Speaker 4: good at with with the left cause uh, I played

1501
01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:31,560
Speaker 4: way more right. So just coaches wanted me to like

1502
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:34,360
Speaker 4: do it like the individual drills and indy stuff like that,

1503
01:12:34,439 --> 01:12:37,040
Speaker 4: and most of the left and the team I was

1504
01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:39,479
Speaker 4: mostly the right, were just switching it left like a

1505
01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 4: few plays, not too many, but throughout the whole time

1506
01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:43,479
Speaker 4: I planned on working both sides.

1507
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 15: Work in college when you made the jump to Florida,

1508
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:48,720
Speaker 15: change level of competition or do you think that kind

1509
01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:51,160
Speaker 15: of prepares you more recently to make another jump.

1510
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:52,120
Speaker 4: To doble composition here.

1511
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:52,400
Speaker 8: Uh?

1512
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:55,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I definitely do because of how n how the

1513
01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:57,559
Speaker 4: side of the situation was for me leaving left Fit

1514
01:12:57,680 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 4: to going award to beating new people and things is

1515
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:02,240
Speaker 4: kind of the same here. Like I was training with

1516
01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:04,040
Speaker 4: the same people I knew every day for the combine,

1517
01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:06,000
Speaker 4: then we all left from now we're at different places

1518
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:07,960
Speaker 4: and it kind of feel like the same type of vibe.

1519
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:09,920
Speaker 4: So I came here and like bet new people, it's

1520
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:11,760
Speaker 4: kind of like the same feeling. I feel like it

1521
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 4: diffinitely got me ready for it and kind of know

1522
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:15,679
Speaker 4: what they spake in a different environment with new people,

1523
01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:17,880
Speaker 4: how to how to learn people and how to move

1524
01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:20,000
Speaker 4: around and stuff like that, so they differently let me out.

1525
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:22,400
Speaker 6: I know, you just like you here to meet new people.

1526
01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:24,400
Speaker 1: But playing with fri True Garage again, what was that

1527
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:24,880
Speaker 1: like today?

1528
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:25,360
Speaker 11: Uh?

01:13:25,400 --> 01:13:27,280
Speaker 4: The uh it w It was fun just being able

1530
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:29,200
Speaker 4: to go out there and practice with 'em again. I

1531
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:31,519

1532
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:33,120
Speaker 4: our it was our last year and the chances of

1533
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:35,200
Speaker 4: us playing together or it was like wasn't real high,

1534
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:37,000
Speaker 4: but the fact that we actually was out there again

1535
01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:39,840
Speaker 4: and at we I was at right, go here was

1536
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:41,280
Speaker 4: at l on the right tide, cause it's playing on

1537
01:13:41,360 --> 01:13:42,880
Speaker 4: action on side of each other they could and call

1538
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:44,840
Speaker 4: on at Florida, we didn't get the plantside each other

1539
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:46,640
Speaker 4: cause I was right, he was at left. But being

1540
01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:48,360
Speaker 4: after they actual panels side on was like it was

1541
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:49,840
Speaker 4: it was fun to say, I go out there to

1542
01:13:49,840 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 4: have fun my brothers and so yeah, do you sorry?

1543
01:13:52,439 --> 01:13:53,840
Speaker 1: When did you find out he would be out here?

1544
01:13:54,360 --> 01:13:56,799
Speaker 6: Like what was that like him or from the teams?

1545
01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:57,120
Speaker 10: Uh?

1546
01:13:57,200 --> 01:13:59,040
Speaker 4: I found out it was I think I found out

1547
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:01,360
Speaker 4: on from the coastal was doing interviews and stuff and

1548
01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:03,240
Speaker 4: on not when I was doing meetings and stuff over

1549
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:05,320
Speaker 4: zoomed before I came for her. I found out then.

1550
01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:06,880
Speaker 4: So that's on. So since then I kind of just

1551
01:14:06,920 --> 01:14:08,559
Speaker 4: been talking to him about the kind of like catching

1552
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:10,320
Speaker 4: with the speed on the plays and things like that,

1553
01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:12,160
Speaker 4: so when we come in we can like be able

1554
01:14:12,160 --> 01:14:14,120
Speaker 4: to play our best still.

1555
01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:17,040
Speaker 8: Like having multiple of your former teammates like go through

1556
01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:19,080
Speaker 8: this with you, Like not a lot of guys get

1557
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:21,200
Speaker 8: to like have college teammates come to the next level

1558
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:23,040
Speaker 8: with them. What's it has it helped to, like have

1559
01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:25,040
Speaker 8: guys you know already like going through it at the

1560
01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:25,439
Speaker 8: same time.

1561
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:27,599
Speaker 4: Oh I I feel like it differently helps just even

1562
01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:28,960
Speaker 4: if it don't help a lot, just a little bit,

1563
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:30,880
Speaker 4: just seeing a familiar face and every now and then,

1564
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:33,800
Speaker 4: especially on the on the team, just give you somebody

1565
01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:35,280
Speaker 4: that you can talk to. I mean the other guys

1566
01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:38,080
Speaker 4: you're gonna visually build a relationship with them, but coming

1567
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:40,120
Speaker 4: in like first two or three days and like gonna

1568
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:41,720
Speaker 4: be the hardest day. So having somebody you can talk

1569
01:14:41,760 --> 01:14:43,720
Speaker 4: to that you've been around for the last year and

1570
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:46,280
Speaker 4: I got there and Shorter and Richard, so having this

1571
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:47,600
Speaker 4: to be able to talk to somebody to get that

1572
01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:50,320
Speaker 4: on just just be able to kind of like relax

1573
01:14:50,360 --> 01:14:51,760
Speaker 4: the end of the day and talk about how it

1574
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:53,479
Speaker 4: was then like they just remedy. Its kind of like

1575
01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:55,320
Speaker 4: makes it a little bit easier and just makes it

1576
01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:56,840
Speaker 4: not as taxing as it can be.

1577
01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:00,320
Speaker 11: So it's yeah, I like it familiarity to the make

1578
01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:00,639
Speaker 11: the trip.

1579
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:04,519
Speaker 4: No not to I'm gonna get up for someone though, So.

1580
01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:13,080
Speaker 1: All right, that was offensive. Lineman Osirius Torrence. He has

1581
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:16,559
Speaker 1: got a great personality. It's been fun to interview him

1582
01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:18,200
Speaker 1: a couple of times. I think he's going to be

1583
01:15:18,280 --> 01:15:21,559
Speaker 1: a great addition to this offensive line in the locker

1584
01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:23,639
Speaker 1: room as well. Love the question at the end about

1585
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:27,080
Speaker 1: asking if his cat is already here. He's a big

1586
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:30,800
Speaker 1: cat person. Yeah, yeah, so soon enough his cat will

1587
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:32,360
Speaker 1: make the trip to Buffalo.

1588
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:34,719
Speaker 2: It's something that it was striking.

1589
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:36,760
Speaker 3: It's striking to most of these young guys when they

1590
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 3: get drafted to come in to try out, they realize that,

1591
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:42,479
Speaker 3: you know, they work so hard physically and they keep

1592
01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:44,599
Speaker 3: stay in shape. They want to show up strong and fast,

1593
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:46,799
Speaker 3: and they work on their forty times and the technique

1594
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:49,080
Speaker 3: and all that stuff I'm running. They get here and

1595
01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:52,479
Speaker 3: I think most of them are surprised that athletically they're

1596
01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:56,400
Speaker 3: beyond ready. I think the thing that gets them is

1597
01:15:56,479 --> 01:15:58,680
Speaker 3: the entire league has made up of guys like that,

1598
01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:03,160
Speaker 3: and it's out from the neck up and the mental

1599
01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:05,040
Speaker 3: stress they put these guys under, and the guys that

1600
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:09,479
Speaker 3: put them under put themselves under to get it. Get

1601
01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:13,920
Speaker 3: the offense, get the techniques, get the words, understand the

1602
01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:17,479
Speaker 3: play call, duel it, and get it right. Mentally, along

1603
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:20,960
Speaker 3: with the technique and playing at a high level. The

1604
01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:24,240
Speaker 3: mental stress wears you out, Yeah, wears you out.

1605
01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:27,160
Speaker 1: It's slow motion for these guys right now trying to

1606
01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:29,880
Speaker 1: put everything together, and I'm glad they get a weekend

1607
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:33,920
Speaker 1: where it's just them figuring everything out before OTAs begin

1608
01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:38,599
Speaker 1: here soon enough, later in May and into June. We're

1609
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:40,120
Speaker 1: going to take a break. When we come back here,

1610
01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:42,880
Speaker 1: we might hear from a few more rookies or answer

1611
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:45,639
Speaker 1: some phone calls, So don't go anywhere where. One Bill's

1612
01:16:45,680 --> 01:17:03,360
Speaker 1: Live present by Clida Health on Buffalo Bill's Radio. We're

1613
01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:06,320
Speaker 1: back here on One Bill's Live. A ton to talk

1614
01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:10,000
Speaker 1: about today, from the schedule release to rookie mini camp

1615
01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:14,519
Speaker 1: or jumping back and forth between both, because there is

1616
01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:19,120
Speaker 1: so much going on here this week. We've got Kevin

1617
01:17:19,120 --> 01:17:21,840
Speaker 1: who's been hanging on the line for a while, So

1618
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:25,360
Speaker 1: let's go over to Kevin from Hamburg. Kevin, you're on

1619
01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:26,320
Speaker 1: with us now.

1620
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:27,200
Speaker 2: How are you doing?

1621
01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:28,519
Speaker 7: Thanks for taking my call?

1622
01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:30,200
Speaker 2: Doing great? How you doing, Kevin?

1623
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:33,439
Speaker 7: I'm doing good. Two things I like about the schedule,

1624
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:36,800
Speaker 7: I know, sweat Bowl game. Thank God, that's good. You

1625
01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 7: wanted to worry about guys poking on the Sideline liked

1626
01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:42,280
Speaker 7: last year in the Miami game and Dowdra dropping over.

1627
01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:46,800
Speaker 7: And I'm glad the Bengal game is before the holidays,

1628
01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:48,200
Speaker 7: cause the last thing you want to do if your

1629
01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:50,479
Speaker 7: players get your gut full of turkey and then be

1630
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:51,840
Speaker 7: like if it would have been the weekend of the

1631
01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:54,760
Speaker 7: Eagles or like the weekend of Christmas. So I'm glad

1632
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:56,800
Speaker 7: they got out of there before the main holidays.

1633
01:17:56,840 --> 01:17:57,040
Speaker 4: Thing.

1634
01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:00,800
Speaker 7: The thing I don't like, and I'm I'm gonna add

1635
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:04,040
Speaker 7: on what you said about wishing to buy was before

1636
01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:07,519
Speaker 7: Halloween or around Halloween, is I think they could have

1637
01:18:08,160 --> 01:18:12,120
Speaker 7: used that extra been that weekend to maybe even get

1638
01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:15,759
Speaker 7: some sports psychologists to talk to people about what happened,

1639
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:19,000
Speaker 7: because I think that's gonna be a bigger mental hurle

1640
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:23,120
Speaker 7: than any sprain or strain or hamstring. And I think

1641
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 7: you could have done better had it been that weekend,

1642
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:27,800
Speaker 7: like you said, Maddy, to get the guys ready that

1643
01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:30,240
Speaker 7: this is where that happened, you know what I mean

1644
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:32,439
Speaker 7: and all that. So I'm going to hang up and

1645
01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:35,160
Speaker 7: let you talk then, all right, thanks so much for.

1646
01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:38,120
Speaker 1: The call, Kevin, And yeah, they it's nice that even

1647
01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:40,760
Speaker 1: though the buye is later in the season. You do

1648
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:45,000
Speaker 1: get that mini by heading into the Bengals game since

1649
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:48,240
Speaker 1: the Bills will be facing the Bucks on Thursday night,

1650
01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:51,040
Speaker 1: and also nice that that's a home game against the

1651
01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:53,719
Speaker 1: Bucks on Thursday night. Week eight and then week nine

1652
01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:58,680
Speaker 1: you've got a game against the Bengals on NBC that's

1653
01:18:58,680 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 1: an eight to twenty kick. So do you get a

1654
01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:04,519
Speaker 1: couple extra days baked in there at that point in

1655
01:19:04,560 --> 01:19:08,200
Speaker 1: the season. It is interesting to see how the coaching

1656
01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:12,200
Speaker 1: staff treats extra days depending on how healthy or injured

1657
01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:15,479
Speaker 1: the team is. Sometimes and depending on what the record is,

1658
01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:18,559
Speaker 1: sometimes those guys will get a couple of extra days

1659
01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:20,560
Speaker 1: off because they've earned it, or maybe they need a

1660
01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:23,640
Speaker 1: couple of days off just to rest and rehabit and

1661
01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:26,400
Speaker 1: get ready for a game like they're going to have

1662
01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:29,280
Speaker 1: against the Cincinnati Bengals. This has been a team that

1663
01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:32,360
Speaker 1: the Bills haven't been able to beat since Joe Burrow

1664
01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:35,559
Speaker 1: and Jamar's Chase stepped on the stage and on the scene.

1665
01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:38,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think one of the things about that game

1666
01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:41,240
Speaker 3: at Cincinnati, you can bet that they're going to attack that.

1667
01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:44,439
Speaker 3: On the mental side of the team as well. You

1668
01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:48,639
Speaker 3: can bet they'll stay in a different hotel. They'll change

1669
01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:52,960
Speaker 3: up some things about the pregame, anything they can they

1670
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:55,240
Speaker 3: can do to distance themselves from what happened.

1671
01:19:55,320 --> 01:19:58,479
Speaker 1: That's a game where would you say, Sean McDermott loves

1672
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:03,920
Speaker 1: being on routine schedule and the repetition and doing schedule,

1673
01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:07,000
Speaker 1: staying in the same places. Like you said, you know,

1674
01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:09,519
Speaker 1: they stay in a lot of the same hotels when

1675
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:12,800
Speaker 1: they face these teams again, especially AFC East teams. But

1676
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:16,040
Speaker 1: would you say, that's a game where you don't necessarily

1677
01:20:16,160 --> 01:20:18,600
Speaker 1: want to do the same things as you did the

1678
01:20:18,720 --> 01:20:21,719
Speaker 1: last time that you played the Bengals right in that city.

1679
01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:23,840
Speaker 3: They'll stay in a different hotel than they did on

1680
01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:27,240
Speaker 3: the Monday night game last year. They'll do some things differently,

1681
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:28,760
Speaker 3: but I think you know, that's about as far as

1682
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:30,519
Speaker 3: you can go. The schedule and everything will be a

1683
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:32,360
Speaker 3: routine that the players will be used to, and they'll

1684
01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 3: be fine with the fact that they don't stay in

1685
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:36,559
Speaker 3: that same hotel. I think will go a long way

1686
01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:39,439
Speaker 3: as well towards distancing themselves from what happened on Monday

1687
01:20:39,479 --> 01:20:40,120
Speaker 3: Night last year.

1688
01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:42,720
Speaker 2: So I would anticipate that's what they do.

1689
01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:45,519
Speaker 3: Everything else, they'll try and keep it as normal as possible,

1690
01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:48,240
Speaker 3: and like we said, it's in week nine, so there's

1691
01:20:48,280 --> 01:20:50,000
Speaker 3: going to be a lot of football and a lot

1692
01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:52,719
Speaker 3: of water under the bridge, yeah in between, so that'll

1693
01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:54,720
Speaker 3: help as well, plus its entire offseason.

1694
01:20:55,560 --> 01:20:58,840
Speaker 2: But I think it there's no way the guys that.

1695
01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:01,400
Speaker 3: Were there last year and that Monday night game are

1696
01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:04,080
Speaker 3: gonna completely be free of it.

1697
01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:06,640
Speaker 2: And we'll see how much it affects them.

1698
01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:09,960
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the tweet sheet because we've got

1699
01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:13,280
Speaker 1: several more responses about the schedule as well as our

1700
01:21:13,360 --> 01:21:17,760
Speaker 1: mail bag on this Friday afternoon. Jack says that he

1701
01:21:18,120 --> 01:21:21,519
Speaker 1: loves that we finally get some home for twenty five games.

1702
01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:24,640
Speaker 1: Says A, it's nice to have some more time to

1703
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:28,360
Speaker 1: get there in tailgate. B it's novel. We haven't had

1704
01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:32,400
Speaker 1: many home for twenty five games in the last twenty years.

1705
01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:35,439
Speaker 1: And see that the game that most of the country

1706
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:38,720
Speaker 1: watches the highest rated of the week. That means that

1707
01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:42,120
Speaker 1: we have arrived. And you're certainly correct about all those

1708
01:21:42,240 --> 01:21:45,680
Speaker 1: points about four o'clock for twenty five games and the

1709
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:48,360
Speaker 1: fact that the Bills have some of those at home.

1710
01:21:49,439 --> 01:21:52,639
Speaker 1: It's nice to and from a standpoint of us working

1711
01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:56,400
Speaker 1: the game, it's not as early of a morning for

1712
01:21:56,960 --> 01:21:58,960
Speaker 1: us and for the tailgaters. I know by the time

1713
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 1: that I'm heading into the state, you guys are well

1714
01:22:01,280 --> 01:22:04,599
Speaker 1: into your tailgate early in the morning, so you get

1715
01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:07,800
Speaker 1: a chance to start that a little bit later. You're

1716
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:11,000
Speaker 1: not out of here too late. We don't get done

1717
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:12,800
Speaker 1: with the shows too late. Even with a four to

1718
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:16,880
Speaker 1: twenty five kick. One o'clock games are awesome. But I'm

1719
01:22:17,120 --> 01:22:21,240
Speaker 1: excited to have several four o'clock games this season because

1720
01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:23,439
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years we've maybe had one

1721
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:24,080
Speaker 1: on the schedule.

1722
01:22:24,120 --> 01:22:24,599
Speaker 2: It's interesting.

1723
01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:27,040
Speaker 3: I don't know that there's anything left other than you know,

1724
01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:29,720
Speaker 3: AFC winning the AFC Championship or going to the Super

1725
01:22:29,720 --> 01:22:31,920
Speaker 3: Bowl or winning the Super Bowl. Nothing short of those

1726
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:35,360
Speaker 3: things that would trumpet anything more than we've already seen

1727
01:22:35,439 --> 01:22:38,400
Speaker 3: this team As to signal that they've arrived. Yeah, I

1728
01:22:38,439 --> 01:22:40,600
Speaker 3: mean I think they've arrived. They play on Thanksgiving the

1729
01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:44,040
Speaker 3: last two or three years in a row, they get

1730
01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:46,360
Speaker 3: Monday night games last year for goodness sake, that had

1731
01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:50,880
Speaker 3: six prime time games last year. They just you know,

1732
01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:53,320
Speaker 3: I don't think there's any question this is a team

1733
01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:57,320
Speaker 3: that people are looking to see what they're doing Nationally

1734
01:22:58,240 --> 01:22:59,840
Speaker 3: They're at the top of the list of teams that

1735
01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:02,120
Speaker 3: thought of to be able to go to and win it.

1736
01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:07,160
Speaker 3: So I don't think, yeah, I get it. For twenty

1737
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:09,320
Speaker 3: five games at home and all that stuff. It's kind

1738
01:23:09,360 --> 01:23:09,960
Speaker 3: of a big deal.

1739
01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:12,360
Speaker 11: It is, but I don't know that.

1740
01:23:13,120 --> 01:23:15,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I think we arrived like three years ago.

1741
01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:18,880
Speaker 2: This is just one more evidence that we're still there.

1742
01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:23,400
Speaker 1: I think about it in a way of they've been there,

1743
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:26,120
Speaker 1: But these four to twenty five games. You wonder if

1744
01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:30,360
Speaker 1: you get to play in front of and be in

1745
01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:33,080
Speaker 1: the home of when people turn their TVs on and

1746
01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:37,000
Speaker 1: are watching games on Sunday, if you get front and

1747
01:23:37,080 --> 01:23:41,240
Speaker 1: center stage to any different NFL fans, and if this

1748
01:23:41,400 --> 01:23:44,880
Speaker 1: could you know, every year we welcome more Bills fans

1749
01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 1: to our family, and you kind of wonder, I do,

1750
01:23:47,640 --> 01:23:51,200
Speaker 1: at least, playing in so many four o'clock game windows,

1751
01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:54,479
Speaker 1: if you add some more fans to the fan base

1752
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:58,559
Speaker 1: because of the fact that you're playing during a time

1753
01:23:58,600 --> 01:24:01,640
Speaker 1: where you do have several eyes on a game like that,

1754
01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:03,600
Speaker 1: and it's a window that the Bills haven't been a

1755
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:07,000
Speaker 1: part of a lot, at least in the last few years.

1756
01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:12,280
Speaker 1: We've got a male bag question. It's an interesting one, Steve.

1757
01:24:12,640 --> 01:24:15,400
Speaker 1: A little bit of football x's and o's. I would say,

1758
01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:19,040
Speaker 1: why does the middle linebacker call the plays? Why can't

1759
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:21,280
Speaker 1: someone else call them? That's from Robert.

1760
01:24:22,160 --> 01:24:25,160
Speaker 3: It makes sense logistically because it's standing in the middle

1761
01:24:25,160 --> 01:24:27,360
Speaker 3: of the of the defense. So if something changes and

1762
01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:30,519
Speaker 3: he has to yell, everybody's equidistant from him. It's that simple.

1763
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:34,719
Speaker 3: And also it's a it's a transition between the defensive

1764
01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:37,160
Speaker 3: backs and the front, the front and the pass rush

1765
01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:39,640
Speaker 3: where they line up, how they line up, and the

1766
01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:42,759
Speaker 3: paths they take to the quarterback or in run defense

1767
01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:46,519
Speaker 3: has to mesh with the coverage in the back end.

1768
01:24:46,600 --> 01:24:48,559
Speaker 3: So you don't want the coverage rolling to the right

1769
01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:51,680
Speaker 3: and the front rolling to the right, because then all

1770
01:24:51,720 --> 01:24:53,400
Speaker 3: of a sudden, if they run the ball to the left,

1771
01:24:53,680 --> 01:24:55,519
Speaker 3: you don't have anybody over there. You've got to make

1772
01:24:55,600 --> 01:24:58,760
Speaker 3: sure that there's a guy in the at the seam

1773
01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:01,760
Speaker 3: of that between the front and the back to make

1774
01:25:01,840 --> 01:25:05,840
Speaker 3: sure that a coverage isn't run in the back end

1775
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:11,360
Speaker 3: that doesn't mesh well with the front linebackers an easy

1776
01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:13,880
Speaker 3: way to do that. Plus, like I said, if something happens,

1777
01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:15,280
Speaker 3: you got to change it up. You've got to have

1778
01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:16,960
Speaker 3: somebody that's in the middle of it can yell at

1779
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:20,519
Speaker 3: everybody at the same time, and that's not easy to

1780
01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:23,280
Speaker 3: do in a stadium that's loud. So it's it's really

1781
01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:26,680
Speaker 3: that simple. And there's you know, I want to I'll

1782
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:29,120
Speaker 3: admit too. There's a little tradition involved with it, no question,

1783
01:25:30,240 --> 01:25:35,240
Speaker 3: but getting the front guys to run a front and

1784
01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:38,920
Speaker 3: a stunt and a scheme that meshes with the back

1785
01:25:39,400 --> 01:25:42,320
Speaker 3: makes sure you don't have any empty zones in coverage

1786
01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:44,960
Speaker 3: and you don't have a guy running free with nobody

1787
01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:48,280
Speaker 3: guarding him. It takes a guy, it takes communication to

1788
01:25:48,360 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 3: do that, and it's really as simple as having a

1789
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:51,920
Speaker 3: guy who can who's as close to anybody as he

1790
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:53,240
Speaker 3: is to everybody else, and he can yell.

1791
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:55,120
Speaker 2: It's that It's that simple.

1792
01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:57,280
Speaker 1: All right, There you have it, going to football school

1793
01:25:57,400 --> 01:26:00,640
Speaker 1: with Steve Tasker. We're going to take a break when

1794
01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:02,880
Speaker 1: we come back round to close things up here on

1795
01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:06,479
Speaker 1: One Bills Live as we welcome the weekend. Stick with

1796
01:26:06,640 --> 01:26:09,280
Speaker 1: us here. We're presented by Clyda Health on Buffalo Bills Radio.

1797
01:26:23,760 --> 01:26:25,840
Speaker 1: All right, we're back on one Bills Live as we

1798
01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:29,280
Speaker 1: close up the shop for the weekend. But it's going

1799
01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:32,439
Speaker 1: to be busy here throughout the weekend as rookie Mini

1800
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:35,639
Speaker 1: Camp continues on. These guys will be in and out

1801
01:26:35,680 --> 01:26:38,920
Speaker 1: of the building throughout the entire weekend. And these are

1802
01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:41,880
Speaker 1: long days for these players too. I mean, yesterday we

1803
01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:44,720
Speaker 1: had rookie media Days, so we have the guys go

1804
01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:48,800
Speaker 1: through different types of setups and do some interviews and

1805
01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:51,040
Speaker 1: do some headshots and all of that so we're ready

1806
01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:53,000
Speaker 1: for the season. It just makes sense to do it

1807
01:26:53,120 --> 01:26:55,720
Speaker 1: in the off season when these guys actually have the

1808
01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:58,639
Speaker 1: time and their schedules, but they are in and out

1809
01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:00,760
Speaker 1: of meetings and they're in and out of doing things

1810
01:27:00,800 --> 01:27:02,679
Speaker 1: and just trying to get the lay of the land.

1811
01:27:03,080 --> 01:27:05,880
Speaker 1: And I was helping rookies like find their way around

1812
01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:09,040
Speaker 1: the building yesterday because I remember being a rookie here

1813
01:27:09,120 --> 01:27:11,320
Speaker 1: and being in my first few weeks and not knowing

1814
01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:13,960
Speaker 1: anywhere of where to go or how to get to

1815
01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:17,640
Speaker 1: the indoor field or how to get to the practice field. So,

1816
01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:20,360
Speaker 1: like you said, with them having to put all of

1817
01:27:20,439 --> 01:27:23,439
Speaker 1: this together, it's the first time they can truly call

1818
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:26,040
Speaker 1: this place home. You get drafted by the Bills. But

1819
01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:28,760
Speaker 1: it's been a couple weeks since the NFL Draft, and

1820
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:31,840
Speaker 1: now they're here in Buffalo with all their things, and

1821
01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:34,280
Speaker 1: they're getting to meet their teammates for the first time

1822
01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:37,519
Speaker 1: in person, and they're getting to really dive into things

1823
01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:41,280
Speaker 1: with the coaching staff. They get the playbook, and between

1824
01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:44,639
Speaker 1: all of that, it is mentally exhausting for these guys

1825
01:27:44,840 --> 01:27:47,519
Speaker 1: who are entering their first year in the NFL.

1826
01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:51,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's exhausting. It's exhausting. They're on the field running around.

1827
01:27:51,280 --> 01:27:53,040
Speaker 3: In fact, you get on the football field and they

1828
01:27:53,040 --> 01:27:55,640
Speaker 3: don't know, you know, they're just trying to line up right,

1829
01:27:55,800 --> 01:27:57,960
Speaker 3: learning the drills, learning how the team warms up, what

1830
01:27:58,120 --> 01:27:59,400
Speaker 3: drills their coaches.

1831
01:27:59,200 --> 01:28:01,519
Speaker 2: Like to do to warm them up, all of that stuff.

1832
01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:04,240
Speaker 3: Then they also, you know, find in meetings and getting

1833
01:28:04,240 --> 01:28:07,599
Speaker 3: to know the assistant coaches on the staff. And it's

1834
01:28:07,640 --> 01:28:11,479
Speaker 3: interesting too. You know, there's like fifty guys here for

1835
01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:14,920
Speaker 3: this rookie mini camp. There's gonna be like ten of

1836
01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:16,400
Speaker 3: these guys in training camp.

1837
01:28:16,560 --> 01:28:17,519
Speaker 2: I know ten of them.

1838
01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:19,519
Speaker 3: All these other guys, most of these guys are not

1839
01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:23,559
Speaker 3: gonna be here, and it's just you know, the draft

1840
01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:25,479
Speaker 3: picks and of course they'll be here. And there's some

1841
01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:27,519
Speaker 3: other rookies that are not draft picks that are also

1842
01:28:27,640 --> 01:28:30,760
Speaker 3: on board, but that were here last year. They're just

1843
01:28:30,840 --> 01:28:32,800
