42
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: Just sort of a recap of what went on here

43
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,840

00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: about Mini camp and about the upcoming training camp. So

48
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: that's the schedule for today. A lot of Bills talk today,

49
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff to talk about. You know by

00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,320

Speaker 1: about I think it's thirteen total practices as Saint John Fisher,

56
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,119
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, twelve at Saint John Fisher and one here

Speaker 1: at Fisher over a just about a three week span.

60
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: We'll be there with the show for about eight or

61
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: ten days over that time period, and that's coming up

62
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,560

76
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: with Steve and I talked about on him yesterday them

77
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: days for the Bills at training camp to kind of

78
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: make it a little more fun for the fans. So

79
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: all of that is available at our website Buffalo Bills

80
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: dot com. Sean McDermott met with the media a moment

81
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: or two ago. Will hear some of his comments and

82
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: we'll hear him before he comes on the air with

83
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: It's not much new today. Strong attendance throughout this mini camp.

84
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: In fact, I believe yesterday they had just about everybody

85
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: at least on the field. Not everybody engaged because of

86
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: some injuries, but everybody on the field. After today, six

87
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: weeks off. He was asked today about Zay Jones. He

88
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: said no change in Zay Jones stat is still in

89
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: the rehab process after knee surgery a couple of weeks ago.

90
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: According to mcdermot's Jones is attacking it aggressively. He says

91
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: it'll be critical from now till the start of training

92
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: camp for Za to recover, but no reason to believe

93
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: that he won't be ready for a training camp Other

94
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: than that. McDermott asked about Josh Allen, says he likes

95
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: what he seem likes his poise, the way he gets

96
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: in and out of the huddle. So far, I'll talk

97
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: about Calvin Benjamin. McDermott believes that Benjamin looks to be

98
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: a big contributor to the offense, and he talked a

99
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: little bit about the the monitoring the offseason period for players,

100
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: what they do, how they work out, etc. During the

101
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: six weeks that come up. In the meantime, there is

102
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: one more practice and it is just getting started on

103
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: the grass practice field on a beautiful Thursday afternoon in

104
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: Ucher Park, and our man, Chris Brown, Bills insider from

105
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills dot Com, is standing by outside as the

106
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: Bills take the field for practice. Chris, good afternoon to you.

107
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: How are you doing okay? Another great day out here.

108
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: There is a little bit of a stiff breeze, kind

109
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: of like there was yesterday, about ten to fifteen miles

110
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: an hour, so I know Josh Allen had no problem

111
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: throwing into that here yesterday. We'll see if they run

112
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: team segments into the wind for the offense again today.

113
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: I wonder has anybody asked Josh Allen, the rookie, or

114
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: even AJ McCarran, who hasn't played here before, are they

115
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: unaccustomed to facing that kind of a breeze that you

116
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: get every day, essentially every day here in Uncher Park.

117
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: They'll get it once the fall practices start here on

118
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: Orcherd Park, you know, late August and September, it'll be

119
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: breezy every day. Does that throw those guys off at all?

120
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: Do you think has anybody said anything about that? Nobody's

121
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: really asked them about it. I do know that Josh

122
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: is very experienced playing in wind I mean playing in

123
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: Laramie at the University of Wyoming. They're playing at elevation

124
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: out there, but it's it's pretty flat around the Wyoming campus,

125
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: and talking to his head coach out there, he said

126
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: it's probably windier there on a more consistent basis than

127
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: it is here in Buffalo. So I think if anybody's

128
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: been exposed to it, it's been Josh Allen over the

129
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: past few years at Wyoming. AJ probably not to the

130
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: same degree, but again we haven't asked him his level

131
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 1: of experience in windy conditions. Chris Brown, Bills Insider, Buffalo

132
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: Bills dot Com. On the field, does the Bills stretch

133
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: and get ready for today's practice? Of course, McDermott was

134
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: asked a lot today about Kelvin Benjamin and how he

135
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: has looked so far. Chris, in these mini camps, what

136
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: have you seen from him? Is he fully recovered from

137
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: the surgery. He went, true, and is he is he

138
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: essentially ready to be the number one target in the

139
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: passing game. That's what it looks like he'll be. Yeah,

140
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: I mean I think he is. You know, in a

141
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: couple of times I've talked to him over the course

142
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: of the spring, he said he feels good. His knees

143
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: are both good. You know, had the torn ladder olemaniscus

144
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: on the one knee obviously, the surgical ACL repair on

145
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: the other a couple of years ago. You know, he said,

146
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: he just you know, he's playing on one leg lad

147
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: last year for this team. But he said, now I

148
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: can bend, you know, I'm all my joints work. I

149
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: can bend well, which you know is important for a

150
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: tall player. You gotta be able to bend a little

151
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: bit to improve your catch radius all the more, even

152
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: though he's got a big one to begin with, and

153
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: he's turned some heads in the last couple of days

154
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: with some of the catches he's made. I mean, Josh

155
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: Allen threw him a laser on Tuesday and he went

156
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: up the ladder to go get that thing. And he's

157
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: probably the only guy on the field that's catching that ball,

158
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: maybe with the possible exception of Andre Holmes, who has

159
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: a big catch radius as well. And I think he's

160
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: ready to step into that number one role. I know

161
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: he told the Associated Press in an interview yesterday that,

162
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: you know, the way he exited Carolina, it was something

163
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: that he wanted. He said he wanted out of Carolina,

164
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: which was kind of newsworthy because we didn't hear that

165
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: when he first came to the Bills via trade last year.

166
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: So it's interesting that he was looking for a new

167
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: set of surroundings for himself, maybe perhaps because he didn't

168
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: feel like he could take his game to the next

169
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: level in the offense in Carolina. He'll have the opportunity,

170
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: unquestionably to do that here because aside from him, Jeremy

171
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: Curley is really the only other proven receiver at the

172
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: NFL level in this wide receiving corps. The thing of

173
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: one of the things anyway, about Kelvin Benjamin, it strikes me,

174
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 1: Chris is there's really nobody or very few people in

175
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: the NFL playing his position like him. You know what

176
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying. He's so big and so wide, and he's

177
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: McDermot talking about him today is a matchup problem. He is,

178
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: and if he becomes the Bills number one receiver, which

179
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: I think most people in anticipate he will be, it'll

180
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: be a matchup issue and teams won't face any other

181
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,479
Speaker 1: people like Kelvin Benjamin the rest of the season. He's

182
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: just different, mostly because of a size. Do you agree, Yeah?

183
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. I think what a lot

184
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: of opposing defenses will do is we'll say how do

185
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: we defend those bigger tight ends, you know, like a

186
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey or Rob Gronkowski. Maybe we employ the same

187
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: approach there. Although Benjamin in large parts going to be

188
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 1: lining up certainly a lot wider informations out on the

189
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: boundary more often than not than a tight end might.

190
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: But I think I would anticipate defensive coordinators would be

191
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: looking at what worked against bigger tight ends like those

192
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: two that I mentioned In terms of facing Kelvin Benjamin, Chris,

193
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: I wonder what if you look at the Bills receiving

194
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: group in general, the whole group. We've talked about him

195
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: a lot, with you and with everybody else, what do

196
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: you dimension you think is missing? There is there one

197
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: trait that they just don't have with the group of

198
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 1: receivers they have, or I know there's a lot of

199
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: unknowns people. As you mentioned, there's only a couple who've

200
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 1: really established themselves in the league. But if you were

201
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: to add one trait to that receiving cord that might

202
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: be missing out, what would it be? A more physical receiver.

203
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: I mean, Kelvin Benjamin can be that because he is

204
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: so large, But after him, there really isn't anybody that

205
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: can be open even when they're covered, if you know

206
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: what I mean. And that's because you don't have a

207
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: lot of guys there that can muscle dbs and shield

208
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: them from the ball. You know, you look at Andre

209
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: Holmes and you say, yes, he's very tall, but he's

210
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: very slightly. He's got a slight frame, so he doesn't

211
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: really play to a true six five height. You know,

212
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: you can look at a young kid like Robert Foster,

213
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: who's certainly put together well, but I don't know if

214
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: he's got the experience to know how to face those

215
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: more physical corners in this league and still find a

216
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,599
Speaker 1: way to get the separation necessary to make plays. I

217
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: think there's an element of deep speed here, so I'm

218
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 1: not as worried about that then I am, as you know,

219
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: somebody that can create their own space, so to speak,

220
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,599
Speaker 1: to make a play when you absolutely have to have it.

221
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Bills Insider, Buffalo Bills dot Com on the

222
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: field as mini camp continues. Final day of Mini Camp,

223
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: the Bills breaking down into individual drills right now, because

224
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: let me turn your attention. If I made to the

225
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: tight end group, it hasn't changed much since a year ago.

226
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: Charles Clay number one on the depth chart, Nico Leary,

227
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: you would think number two, Logan Thomas, I would guess

228
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: number three. Then it's Jason Croune, Keith Towbridge, and Kyrie Lee.

229
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: First of all of those last three names, any one

230
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: of them do you see making a big push for

231
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: a roster spot as anybody been a standout at the

232
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: tight end spot from from the three who were not

233
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: even around last year, the three who were around but

234
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: not you know, big roster guys last year. Yeah, I mean,

235
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: nobody's really stood out where you say, wow, this guy's

236
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: really making a run at that third tight end spot.

237
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: They've all rotated through and the coaches have been pretty

238
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: liberal and giving guys first and second team reps no

239
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 1: matter who it is they've backed off on Charles Clay's reps.

240
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: I don't think they want to pound him here too

241
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: much in the spring. There's really no sense to provided

242
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: he knows the offense well enough, and that seems to

243
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: be the case. You know, Jason Krum and Cary Lee

244
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: have been rotated through with the ones and twos a

245
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 1: little bit more than Keith Towbridge, who was on the

246
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: practice squad at the beginning of the year last year

247
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: and then had an injury and was put on injured reserve.

248
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: Crum was on the practice squad all last year as well,

249
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: and then Lee, as you know, got some time up

250
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: on the fifty three man roster last year. It's it's

251
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: really a mixed bag of guys, and you gotta believe

252
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: that the coaching staff is hoping that someone separates, But

253
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: to this point I have not seen that. Well, let

254
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: me get you to a more regular guys last year's

255
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: tight ends, and let me ask you about Nicole Leary.

256
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: Do you think we've seen the best that Nicoleary has

257
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: to offer or is there any sign that there's another

258
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: level for him, maybe something that he's ready to tap

259
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: into this year. I think he kind of is what

260
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: he is. You know, he's an average blocker, can help

261
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: you in the short to intermediate passing game. And so

262
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: I suppose you could say, well, let's see maybe if

263
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: they can get an uptick in his play just by

264
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: virtue of the new scheme. But this is a scheme

265
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: that I think in large part is going to try

266
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: to spread the field to get their playmakers in space.

267
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: He's not a space player, you know, He's a short

268
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: to intermediate area player, and so I don't know if

269
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 1: the scheme is going to enhance his skill sets, so

270
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: to speak. Yeah, all right, let me take you into

271
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: another position group. Chris Brown joining us from the practice field.

272
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: Running backs. We know Shady, we know of Shady, we

273
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: know what he can do, we know what he's done.

274
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory brought in this year as a free agent.

275
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: What have you seen from him? How ready is he

276
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: to be the guy who gets the reps that Shady

277
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: doesn't get as the number two running back? And what

278
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: does he provide the Buffalo Bills Chris Ivory? Well, he's

279
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: a power guy, north south runner, as I think most

280
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: people know. I think there's one area where he is underrated,

281
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: and I would say that is in the receiving game.

282
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: He's a better pass receiver than I think he's given

283
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: credit for. I think it's just a byproduct of him

284
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: not being asked to do that with the teams he's

285
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: been with previously, like the Jets and the Jaguars. He's

286
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: been asked to be a power runner there, and you

287
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: know he can certainly fill that role here as well,

288
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: short yardage, maybe down by the goal line, get the

289
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: tough yards. But I think if opposing defenses see him

290
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: on the field and say, well, he's not going to

291
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: be a target in the passing game, I think that's

292
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: a misguided approach because I think there's enough confidence here

293
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: that if they need to go to him on a

294
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: swing route or even a circle route, that he's a

295
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: guy that can accomplish that as well. So I see

296
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: him serving as the primary complimentary piece to McCoy, with

297
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: Cadet not that far behind either. I was very impressed

298
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: with what Trevaris Cadet did for this team last year

299
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: before he fractured his ankle in Week sixteen in New England.

300
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: I think his overall skill set is the most like

301
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: Leshaun McCoy, not saying is Leshawn McCoy, but the things

302
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: he does well are very similar in nature to what

303
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: McCoy does well. From a skill set perspective, what do

304
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: you think works best an offset that change up to McCoy,

305
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: and that would be Ivory or maybe somebody some of

306
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: them a little bit like Shady McCoy, meaning treveris Cadet.

307
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: What do you think works best for this team and

308
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: maybe teams in general. Well, I think I would tend

309
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: to think it's Cadet only because of the reasons I

310
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: just mentioned and what's been very clear to me in

311
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: the way this offense has lined up in the team segments.

312
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: They're going to be getting these running backs out in space.

313
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: A lot of times they're lining up wide in receiver positions,

314
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: and I think it's because coach Dable realizes, Look, I

315
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of proven weapons at the wide

316
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: receiver position. I'm going to get some of my best

317
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: playmakers in the passing game from the running back position

318
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: out in space because they can win out there. So

319
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: players like McCoy and Cadet have been split wide quite

320
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: often in a lot of the offensive series here through

321
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: the course of OTA's and mini camp, and I expect

322
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: that to continue, so I would say Cadet, but I

323
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: guess until we get to week one, it remains to

324
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: be seen. What about the rest of that running back group, Chris,

325
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: I've seen Taiwan Jones get some return work a little

326
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: bit through this spring. There's Taiwan Jones, There's Marcus Murphy,

327
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: got a little playing time last year. There's the rookie

328
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: Keith Ford. Anybody there ready to challenge for a roster spot.

329
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: Do you think as the team comes back to training

330
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: camp in six weeks, Yeah, I mean, I think Marcus

331
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: Murphy did a lot of nice things towards the end

332
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: of last year when he got an opportunity. You know,

333
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: he's not as big a guy, He's kind of more

334
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: of a scatback, so I think potentially there could be

335
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 1: a role for him there. Obviously, Taiwan Jones has to

336
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: light it up on special teams. I think to stick

337
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: on this roster because I think Ivory and Cadet are

338
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: firmly ahead of him on the depth chart, you know,

339
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: along with McCoy. So that's three right there. You're keeping

340
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: Pat DeMarco as your primary fullback, that's four, So you

341
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: know there's probably just one spot left there for a

342
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: guy that can probably do some stuff on special teams,

343
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: you know, and help you there additionally, So I think

344
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 1: it becomes Taiwan Jones and Marcus Murphy who are chiefly

345
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: battling for that last spot, assuming they carry five. Got

346
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: Chris Brown on the field for us as we sort

347
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: of take stock of the Buffalo Bill's roster on this

348
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: final day of the mini camp mandatory mini camp there

349
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: six weeks away from training camp. I want to turn

350
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: your attention, if I ken Chris, we only got a

351
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: few minutes left, I'm certain turn your attention to the

352
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball and the linebacker position. McDermott

353
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 1: talked a little bit about second year linebacker Matt Milano

354
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 1: still sideline with the hamstring. He doesn't want to push

355
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: him now, he wants to make sure the hamstring is

356
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: ready to go in his stead. Who's getting the reps

357
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: there and who's benefiting from extra playing time now with

358
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: Matt Milano on the sidelines with his hamstring pull So

359
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: it's chiefly been Ramone Humber. You know, those two are

360
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: battling it out for a starting role last year. Humber

361
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: got it early in the year and then Mulano took

362
00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: it over second half of the year. As we all know,

363
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: it looks like you know, as you said, Milano is

364
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: going to probably be the starter on the strong side

365
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: there going into this year, but yes, plagued by the

366
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 1: hamstring injury, so Humber has been there a good deal.

367
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 1: I did notice yesterday though, that Dion Lacey was getting

368
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 1: sprinkled in a little bit on the strong side, which

369
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: is a change for him because he's largely been Lorenzo

370
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: Alexander's backup on the week side. So that was a

371
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: little bit of an interesting thing to notice. It be

372
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: interesting to see if that continues. They're clearly seeing if

373
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: he's capable of handling that role, switching, can he handle it,

374
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: mentally execute all of those things. But those are the

375
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: two guys that primarily have been lining up in Milano's

376
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: spot the last few days. I want to ask you

377
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: about another second year guy, tender Bleajo from Boise State

378
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: graft pick a year ago, played a little bit last

379
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,959
Speaker 1: year this he looked like he's slated for a backup

380
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: spot at the MIC linebacker is at where he's lining

381
00:19:52,080 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: up these days. Yeah, he's been primarily the same second

382
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: team middle linebacker. They're even giving him reps with the

383
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 1: third team. It's almost as if Murph, They're saying, let's

384
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: get this kid as many reps as possible so he's

385
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: as ready as he can be for this position. You know,

386
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the typical build of a middle linebacker,

387
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: but he can run. And as we know, in coach

388
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: McDermott's defense, they need linebackers that can cover a lot

389
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 1: of ground. And you know, in a league where your

390
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: defense is sixty five percent of the time are in nickel,

391
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: having a middle linebacker that can cover ground like that

392
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: is not a terrible thing. You know. The alternative to that,

393
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 1: as you say, well, if you got a heavy run

394
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: team and he's in your lineup, they're going to target

395
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: him as best they can and run right at him

396
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 1: and say, let's see if you can stop our two

397
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five pound back when you're only two

398
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty pounds yourself, you know. And then you

399
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: have Julian Stanford, who also factors into the mic linebacker stuff.

400
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: He's put together a little bit better than Tanner Vallejo.

401
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: And I've seen him move out here. He can move

402
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: and he can cover. I don't know to quite agree

403
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: that maybe Vallejo can, especially in reverse, but he is

404
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: a violent tackler and that gets your points at the

405
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: mic linebacker positions. So there could be a competition butting

406
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: there at some point because Stanford does have more time

407
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: on the job than Tanner. Vallejo has more regular season

408
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: game experience on the defensive side of the ball when

409
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: he filled in for some injured players for the Jets

410
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: last year. So hopefully that is in fact the case.

411
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you about Julian Stanford. We had

412
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: him on the show last week. He's made his mark

413
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: in the league primarily on special teams, I think, although

414
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: as you point out, and he did talk about it

415
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: with us last week, he did get defensive reps with

416
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 1: the Jets. Neither one of them, Ballejo or Stanford are

417
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 1: great size, Chris, which is concerning I think a little bit.

418
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: You know, you're not going to get a big guy

419
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: in there if something should happen to the rookie number

420
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: forty nine. There his backups, Edmond's backups are both a

421
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: little undersized. Phone dropped out. Okay, Chris's phone dropped out.

422
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: He's back, Are you there, Chris? I am back now though. Yeah, okay,

423
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: thanks for Baron, I am here, Yes, thank you the

424
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: question I raised, and I understand. You know, we're talking

425
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: about Stanford, We talked about Tanner Balajo. Neither one of

426
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: them as great size, and that might be what the

427
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: Bills are forced to deal with as the backup MIC linebacker, right,

428
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: one of those two, even without the kind of stature

429
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: that you'd love to see for a for a MIC linebacker,

430
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: a big run stuffing guy, right. But I don't know

431
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: if that's what you want, uh in in this defense.

432
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: I don't think you want a middle linebacker much more

433
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: than two hundred and thirty pounds, you know, unless they're

434
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: a complete athletic freak like Tremaine Edmonds, right, which is

435
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 1: the case there. I mean, Stanford probably goes about two

436
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: twenty five and he's about six one six two, So

437
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: that's not terrible in this kind of a defense. So

438
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: it's all about the ground you can cover at the

439
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: linebacker position in this defense. I think that's a big

440
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: reason why a guy like Preston Brown was not brought

441
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 1: back into the fold. Yes, he was a productive player,

442
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: but he was an average coverage coverage player, and I

443
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: think that was where the Bills, you know, the front

444
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: office and the coaching staff said, look, we've got to

445
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: do better from a coverage standpoint at this position. And

446
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: I think that's why they feel comfortable moving on from

447
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: Preston Brown this offseason. I'm going to cut you loose

448
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: here in a second, Chris, but just one last thing.

449
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: I realized that we've talked here for about fifteen minutes

450
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: and all we talked about are really potential backups. Does

451
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: that indicate to him you or that maybe we don't

452
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: have to worry about the starters because I'm not I

453
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm there yet, but we're talking about

454
00:23:52,960 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: here are potential backups, right, I mean I think you

455
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, we discussed this a little bit yesterday,

456
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: but you know, the primary position battles are going to

457
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: be at center and nickel corner. And a lot of

458
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: people consider nickel corner a starting position just by virtue

459
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: of the fact that's how much they're on the field.

460
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: So those are really the two primary competition positions outside

461
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 1: of quarterback here, and as we know, quarterback is going

462
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: to dominate the headlines and training camp every single day,

463
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: but nickel corner is a real competition between Philip Games

464
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: and Tarren Johnson, you know, and then we know the

465
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: center competition between Ryan Groy and Russell Bodin. So you

466
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: know those are really though the only ones. And then

467
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: you can call a starting role being that number two

468
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 1: receiver spot, but I think for all intents and purposes,

469
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,360
Speaker 1: that's going to be Jeremy Curley. So now you're down

470
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: to the number three receiver role. You know when you're

471
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: talking people like Zay Jones, Andre Holmes, players like that

472
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: and yet, but yes, after that, it's it's largely fighting

473
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: for those second team backup roles on offense end defense.

474
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: I got to ask you about the receiver thing. You're

475
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: coming in. We can follow questions in here, correct, Chris, Yes,

476
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 1: I will be in. Okay, thank you, Chris Brown, Bills Insider,

477
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills dot Com Out on the field. Day three

478
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: of Bill's minicamp is ongoing right now. And let me apologize.

479
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: You heard how long it took for Chris to respond

480
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: to my question. That is a total technical thing. That

481
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: is a delay. Chris, literally is what a couple hundred

482
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 1: yards away, maybe three or four hundred yards away, but

483
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: the signal my voice that he can hear is going

484
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 1: up and coming down. Sorry about that sound a little awkward,

485
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 1: but I think we kind of power through and thanks

486
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: for bearing with us. All right, Hey, On Twitter today,

487
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: we want to talk a little bit about where the

488
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: Bills are. It is the final day of mini camp.

489
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: Where they are also includes you know, what they've lost

490
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: from last year. We want you to think a little

491
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: bit about who was here last year, what the roster

492
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: looked like it's setting up for this year. On Twitter,

493
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: our poll today who is the biggest offseason loss for

494
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills? And we want to reach it this

495
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: way because you wonder part of the answer will be

496
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: what do they have to replace him? I think so

497
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: think about that, not just who they lost, but what's

498
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: in place now to replace who they've lost. Who's the

499
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: biggest offseason loss for the Bills. We'll take your phone

500
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: calls on this eight oh three h five fifty and

501
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: toll free one eight eight eight by fifty two five

502
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: fifty if you're outside Buffalo. We offered a couple of suggestions.

503
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: The biggest offseason loss for the Buffalo Bills on our

504
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: Twitter poll is it the offensive line? Starting center Eric Wood,

505
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: starting guard Richie Incognito. That's an ent where you put

506
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 1: them together. Is it Tyrod Taylor, the quarterback gone after

507
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: three years? Is it linebacker Preston Brown, the leading tackler

508
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL last year, somebody else you may have

509
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: in mind? Who is the biggest offseason loss for the

510
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Give us a call. Let us know what

511

Speaker 1: now say it is would an Incognito together. You believe

513
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: that's the biggest loss the Bills have suffered. That's big.

514
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: Six percent of you think it's a quarterback Tyrod Taylor,

515
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: four percent of you think that it's a linebacker Preston Round,

516
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: two percent say somebody else. Give us a call. We'd

517
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: love to discuss that with you. The biggest loss the

518
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: Bills suffered from last year to this um. Right now,

519
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: it looks like you're going to the offensive line, But

520
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: again not so much at this point now as we

521
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: approach to training camp six weeks away, not just what

522
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: they've lost, but who's who's replacing them? You know, kind

523
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: of couch your answer in that term in terms of,

524
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: you know, do they have an adequate replacement? We got

00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,120

544
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 1: We're just getting rolling one Bill's Live presented by Kali

545
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 1: to Health from One Bill's Drive and this is Buffalo

546
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. Welcome back to the show, John Murphy and

547
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: Chris Brown in studio with a Steve Tasker on vacation.

548
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: Thanks to Chris Brown for filling in a little bit.

549
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: He'll be in and out. Wants keep an eye in practice,

550
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: got some stuff to write for the website Buffalo bills

551
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: dot com. He would just on the field out there

552
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: and now we get talk here. Do me a favored though,

553
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: just so I'm used to it every time we talk.

554
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: Can you wait five seconds before you respond to soil?

555
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: The delay was eating us up. I think it took

556
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: me less time to get here from the field, and

557
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: it did for my sentence to end the last time

558
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: I answered the question, Hey, you said something. I just

559
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: want to clarify about that. We're talking about receivers, and

560
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: we talked about Zay Jones, and today McDermott said that

561
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: he has no reason to believe. First of all, no

562
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: reason to believe there's any difference a Jones still recovering,

563
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: still rehabbing, attacking it aggressively, but he still thinks he

564
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: should be ready for camp right, Yes, he said, I

565
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: don't have any reason. He went double negative on us,

566
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: which kind of always gives you a little bit of pause.

567
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: But he said, I don't have any reason not to

568
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: think that he'll be ready, right, and so then you

569
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: have to think, all right, let me take the nod

570
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: out of it. Out of there, Okay, So he thinks

571
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: he'll be fine for training camp, you know, he's attacking

572
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: the rehab. I think Zay really knows that with the

573
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: struggles and the hurdles that he tried to clear rookie year,

574
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: this is in a big way, a redemption year for him,

575
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: and there's an even greater opportunity to make an impact

576
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: if everything, if he can put it all together, just

577
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: by virtue of the fact that the roster is wide

578
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: open at his position. But I think the reason I'm

579
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: kind of calling Jeremy Curley a number two re offense

580
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: is because I think he's going to get the second

581
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: most playing time after Kelvin Benjamin at the wide receiver position.

582
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: I think the percentage of plays that he's on the

583
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: field for the offense is going to be high each

584
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: and every week, sixty five to seventy five percent, if

585
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: not more. And he's primarily going to be the slot receiver.

586
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: But I really do foresee that this offense is going

587
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: to be playing an awful lot of eleven and twelve personnel,

588
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: which is basically one receiver, one tight end or one back,

589
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: one tight end and eleven personnel and one back and

590
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: two tight ends in twelve personnel. But there's always going

591
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: to be two and more often than not three receivers

592
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: on the field in this brian Able offense from what

593
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: we've seen. And so you think in terms of playing

594
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: time and maybe even in terms of targets catches, Curly

595
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: would be ahead of Zay Jones. Your guess is Curly

596
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: would be anad of James. Well, I think that's a

597
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: bigger guest to make because now you're now you're getting

598
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: into who's the opponent that week? What are they keying on.

599
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can go that far. I

600
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: just think time on the field wise, Okay, Curly is

601
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: gonna be on the field more. Now, logic would say

602
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: you're on the field more, you should get more targets

603
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: because you have more opportunity to win on your routes

604
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: and be a target for the quarterback. But again, if

605
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: they decide well, hey, we're gonna put our second best

606
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: corner on Jeremy Curly. Well, then the opportunities for targets

607
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: may not be there. It might be harder to get

608
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: separation consistently and get open and be a target. But

609
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: I think time on the field, it's gonna be Benjamin one,

610
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: Curly two, and then whoever else wants to seize that

611
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: number three roll. One more question for you about receivers

612
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: before we move onto our Twitter poll. When you get

613
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: some time off coming up, at any point during that

614
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: time off, you're gonna think, Man, I don't know if

615
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: they have enough, because that thought strikes me sometimes. Now,

616
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's enough. I hope so I'd

617
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: like to see somebody emerge. I love what Robert Foster's

618
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: done the last week or so. I'm rooting for z

619
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: Jones to come back big. I know Curly's played in

620
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: the league a couple of draft picks. Rod Streeter would

621
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: be a great story if he can come back. But

622
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: there's just a lot of question marks after Kelvin Benjamin

623
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: there right, it's fear of the unknown. I get it.

624
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: I get it because even Zay Jones is a question

625
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: mark to a certain extent, Yeah, by virtue of you know,

626
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: the pitfalls that he fell into as a rookie, you know,

627
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: with a case of the drops at times, and then

628
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: having to play hurt the second half of the year

629
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: with the torn laborim in his shoulder and now the

630
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: knee injury. So there's a lot of hurdles that Zay

631
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: Jones still has to clear just to get on the field.

632
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: And then, let's be honest, he missed the entire spring

633
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: in a brand new offense, so now he's got to

634
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: He's got that on his plate on top of being

635
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: physically ready to go. I'm not so much worried about

636
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: physically being ready to go as I am about processing

637
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: this offense and the snap of a finger on the

638
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: field where things happen at lightning quick speed. So there's

639
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: some there's some ground that Zay Jones is going to

640
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: have to cover when he comes back in healthy and

641
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: ready to practice. Uh, that's a lot, that's a lot

642
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: to do, and so I think the opportunity is there

643
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: for one of these other guys to lead the US

644
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: well streeter, can he stay healthy. I think I think

645
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: he's proven, you know, over his time in the league

646
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: that he he is physically gifted enough to play in

647
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: this league and make plays for an offense. But the

648
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: question there is can he stay healthy for a full

649
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: season and be a contributor for that long Um for

650
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: somebody like Haylan Clay, can you be more than a

651
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,719
Speaker 1: special teams guy? Yeah? Um, you know Quan Brey has

652
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: flashed here and there. Malachai Dupree was having a good

653
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: spring until he pulled his hamstring. Um Ray Ray Ray

654
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: McLeod is one of the most elusive receivers on the roster,

655
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: but it's clear to me that he still has not

656
00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: mastered this offense. He's getting often oftentimes pre snap, he's

657
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: getting motioned to the other side of the formation by

658
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: the quarterback because he's lining up wrong. So there's a

659
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: mental disconnect there for McLeod. In the scope of the offense,

660
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: you want to say, hey, let's see Brandon Riley take

661
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: that next step. He's got the bild at six two,

662
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: two hundred pounds, He's sneaky fast. He gets behind defenses

663
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: at times, but it just seems that stacking days for

664
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: him is the next hurdle. He knows the offense, he

665
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: runs good routes, he gets good separation. Now, it's got

666
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: to happen day after day after day. And if he

667
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: can't do that, they're just going to rotate another guy

668
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: in and give somebody else a crack, because that's how

669
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 1: this coaching staff operates. You don't show out every single day,

670
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: somebody else is going to get an opportunity. That's just

671
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: the way it's been. Question marks. Like I said, hey,

672
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: our Twitter poll today, we want to get you in

673
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: on this, Chris, and that we're not looking. You know,

674
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: we could have asked this question back in February March

675
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: and you might get a different You should get a

676
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: different response that you do now. Who is the biggest

677
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: offseason loss for the Buffalo Bills. You can tweet in

678
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: the response on our Twitter poll or give us a

679
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: call at eight o three five fifty or two three

680
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. It

681
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: might be a different answer now because we've had the

682
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: spring practices, we've had OTAs in minicamp, and you see

683
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: how they're going to fill some of these holes. So

684
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: we go back and say, who are they going to

685
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: miss the most? I guess is really what this question

686
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: is right now? On our Twitter poll, the why the

687
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: decisive majority eighty eight percent says they'll miss the combination

688
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 1: of Eric Wood and Richie Incognito, six percent say they'll

689
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,760
Speaker 1: miss Tyrod Taylor, four percent say Preston Brown, two percent

690
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: have somebody else in mind. I'm open for any suggestions,

691
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: but I would have to agree that you know, the

692
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: questions about offensive line are there because of the departure

693
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: of one and Incognito. What do you think, Chris, Yeah,

694
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: I mean making it a combination pick kind of makes

695
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: it a no brainer. Yeah, if I think that, knowing

696
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: Ryan Groy as well as we had do having seen

697
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 1: him play, I'm confident that he can fill the void

698
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: of Eric Wood on the field. I'm not so sure

699
00:35:55,800 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: about the leadership part, but from a performance standpoint, I

700
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: think he's ready to step into that role. I don't

701
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 1: know if he's going to be playing at a Pro

702
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: Bowl level because we know that Eric Wood did make

703
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl in twenty fifteen, but I think he

704
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: can capably fill that role. Now, no disrespect to Russell Bodon,

705
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: I just don't know him as well as a player,

706
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: so I feel okay at center, no matter who you

707
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 1: go with there, it's the left guard spot and the

708
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: absence of Incognito. That is of concern because Incognito did

709
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: play at a Pro Bowl level each of the last

710
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 1: three years that he was here, and now lad Ducas

711
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,760
Speaker 1: looks like he's going to inherit that role. And Ducos

712
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: just isn't the movement player that Incognito is. He isn't

713
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: the physical He doesn't play with as much with the

714
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: same physicality that Richie Incognito plays with. I don't think

715
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: he's the athlete that can pull and lead a running

716
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: back up the field like Incognito can. So I just

717
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: think by virtue of who you've got there right now,

718
00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,439
Speaker 1: you're not going to be able to do the same

719
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: things that this offense has done in the past. And

720
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 1: they may not, and they may not. I don't think

721
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: they can, just but just because of who they have there.

722
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: So if they're comfortable putting vlad Dukass there, that that's

723
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: probably a signal that they're not going to do a

724
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: lot of the same things and that they just need

725
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 1: somebody to hold up in there, not somebody to get

726
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: out on the move or off to the edge to

727
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: leda running back up the field. So it could be

728
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: a strong indication as to what they're going to be

729
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: asking their alignment to do, which might be to just

730
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: stand in there and grind. Got some tweets from the

731
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: tweet sheet on this question of the day, Who will

732
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,320
Speaker 1: the Bills missed the most from? Steve Noble says, I

733
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: feel that Edmonds, Tremaine Edmonds can replace Preston Brown. The

734
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: quarterback group will exceed Tyrode's production, and with our offensive

735
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: line editions, we are deeper and much younger to me,

736
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: he says, as things stand at wide receiver Jordan Matthews

737
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: is the biggest offseason lost. The Patriots stole him. Uh.

738
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think we got to see

739
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: an of Jordan Matthews to know what he really could

740
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: have been agree for this offense. The whole thing was

741
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: injuries right on this first day and we get injured later.

742
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,280
Speaker 1: It's kind of what do we miss from Jordan Matthews.

743
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: I don't know where he is right now in his career. Yeah,

744
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: I think because we never saw what he could really

745
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: be for this offense. He's a guy that's going to thrive.

746
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: And I said this in the off season where I

747
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,720
Speaker 1: remember you asking me Who's who do we not expect

748
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: to be back, and I said, I don't expect Jordan

749
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: Matthews to be back because at that time, you didn't

750
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 1: know what the quarterback situation was going to be here.

751
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 1: You didn't know what the offense was going to be here.

752
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 1: And for Jordan Matthews to re establish his value in

753
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: the league, he had to go to a high volume

754
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: passing offense because what he is is a possession receiver,

755
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: a guy that's gonna get you a first down on

756
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: third and four. You know, a guy that's going to

757
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 1: work in that short to intermediate area and catch sixty

758
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 1: five to seventy balls for you every season and maybe

759
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 1: four or five touchdowns. So where does he go? I said, Well,

760
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: he's probably going to go to New Orleans, New England,

761
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: Green somewhere where there's a high passing volume in the attack.

762
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:04,760
Speaker 1: And where does he go. He goes to New England

763
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,919
Speaker 1: and signs a one year deal. So that makes sense

764
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: for him, you know, because there's a good chance, if

765
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 1: he can stay healthy, that he'll catch sixty seventy balls there.

766
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: I don't know that you can say he was going

767
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: to do that here. There certainly would have been opportunity

768
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: based on the wide receiving corps that we just broke

769
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: down for everybody. And I think because of the fact

770
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 1: that he has proven production in the league and really,

771
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: after Calvin Benjamin and Jeremy Curley, nobody else on this

772
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: wide receiver roster does. A person like Steve says, we're

773
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: gonna miss George Matthews, but we're gonna have to wait

774
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 1: and see. Yeah, let's wait and see what these other

775
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: receivers have to offer. He's not similar to Calvin Benjamin,

776
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: but his type of work is similar to Calvin Benjamin's.

777
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. His role would have been

778
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 1: very similar to Calvin ben how so, just kind of

779
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 1: a possession guy, you know, you know, a big target,

780
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: red zone target. I just think he would wind up

781
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: doing a lot of the things that they're gonna want

782
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: Calvin Benchman to do. I just I just see Calvin

783
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: Benjamin as more of a playmaker than Jordan Matthews. I

784
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 1: see Jordan Matthews as a complimentary receiving target, where I

785
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:11,240
Speaker 1: see Kelvin Benjamin as a guy that you can feature

786
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 1: your passing game around it. It's a much different way

787
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: of featuring your passing game. But that's a guy that

788
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,879
Speaker 1: can win in the red zone on any given play.

789
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: It's a guy that you can go to along the

790
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 1: sideline where you can throw it to him and nobody

791
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: else is catching it but him, and he can also

792
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: shield defenders from the football. So I think from a

793
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: in a very different way, Kelvin Benjamin can be a

794
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: true Number one. I don't think Jordan Matthews has a

795
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 1: prayer of ever being I just think Jordan catches similar

796
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: passes that Kelvin. You would throw similar passes to Benjamin

797
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: that you would to Jordan Matthews. One more from the

798
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: tweetcheat Huggie Bear as of today, he thinks the biggest

799
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 1: offseason launches as of today, it's Tyrod Taylor because right

800
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: now we don't know who the starting quarterback is going

801
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: to be for the start of the regular season. Sure

802
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: it will sort itself out during training camp. We are

803
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: very unproven at the quarterback position. I don't think anybody

804
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: would argue that can't argue it. Yeah again, it's and

805
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 1: I sensed this from fans because because I'm sure you

806
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: get this murph just walking around running into people. You know,

807
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: how's Josh Allen looking, how's Josh Allen looking? I mean,

808
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: how many times have you heard that four words? It's

809
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: fear of the unknown? And I get it. I understand

810
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 1: why fans are a little nervous because they're thinking, if

811
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's not ready, are we in trouble? Like what

812
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,760
Speaker 1: are we gonna do? And I think it's just because

813
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 1: they don't know what AJ mccarroen is capable of, and

814
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: they don't know what Nathan Peterman is capable of. And

815
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: the small body of Work has a lot of people

816
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: down on Nathan Peterman, so they say, well, at least

817
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 1: we know Josh Allen is supposed to be good because

818
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: he's a first round pick. He's the highest pick we've

819
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: ever used on a quarterback. And I think everybody is

820
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: putting all their eggs in the Josh Allen basket because

821
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 1: they don't know what AJ mccarroen is, and they don't

822
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: know what Nathan Peterman is. You don't know what Josh

823
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: Allen is either, So you know, it's like yatzi man,

824
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: you've got that all those dice in the cup and

825
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 1: just roll it out and see what you get. That

826
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,240
Speaker 1: might be where we are come late August, early September.

827
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: I mean, and that's that's probably unsettling for a lot

828
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: of Bills fans, and I understand why, but that's the

829
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:19,359
Speaker 1: situation you're in, and at the quarterback position, Huggie Bear

830
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: may not be too far off. I can't believe I'm

831
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: saying that, But because because because at least you knew

832
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: what Tyrod Taylor was, you don't know what any of

833
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: these three guys are going to be, not only because

834
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 1: you haven't seen them, but now they also have to

835
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: operate in a brand new offense that you don't know

836
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: a whole lot about either. And to be clear, what

837
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:42,320
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor was wasn't enough right thirty first in passing

838
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: fans for the team for the coaching tip wasn't enough.

839
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: Thirty first in passing says all you need to say

840
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: about Tyrod Taylor's time here. There's a call from Sean

841
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: in Dallas. Sean, go ahead, you're on the air with us. Hey, guys,

842
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,800
Speaker 1: thanks for the taking the call. Just a quick comment

843
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: on what you guys were saying about Tyrod Taylor. As

844
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:00,800
Speaker 1: much as I love ty Rod being the leader of

845
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: our team the last few years, I got his jersey,

846
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: So this is not a slam at him at all.

847
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: But over the last few years, I just figured out that,

848
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 1: you know, Tyrod wasn't making the throws. You know, people

849
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: want to talk about, you know, Jordan Matthews not having

850
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,720
Speaker 1: a good season, Kelvin and Benjamin not having a good season,

851
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: Zay Jones. I mean, he's not looking at the guy

852
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 1: that was throwing the ball. After it was all said

853
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: and done for me, I don't Tyrod was not making

854
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: enough throws to make these guys good receivers. So when

855
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 1: it's all said and done for me, after all these

856
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 1: three years, I'm looking at he was not making the throws.

857
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 1: He did not make these guys better like Tom Brady

858
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 1: makes his players better. Okay. So the reason that I

859
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: called though, was it sounds like to me, Chris, that

860
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is being just as good. Maybe and I'm

861
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: not saying that he's ready to go just yet, but

862
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: he definitely does not sound like he's lost. And then

863
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: he's actually doing pretty good in these early training I'm

864
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: just wondering, if he stayed at this level right here,

865
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: why would we not just put him in and let

866
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: him go right from the get go. I don't think

867
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 1: he's Here's where he's not at the level of AJ

868
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:18,439
Speaker 1: and Nathan. It's the consistency down in and down out.

869
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 1: So perfect example. So the other day in mini camp,

870
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman is far and away the most consistent quarterback

871
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: down after down after down. He's executing plays, He's going

872
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: to the right place with his reads more often than not.

873
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 1: He's making completions, positive plays, staying on the field first downs, etc.

874
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:44,399
Speaker 1: You go to AJ after that, for the most part,

875
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 1: making plays, maybe not to quite the level of consistency

876
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,879
Speaker 1: on that particular day is Nathan Peterman, but again making

877
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 1: the right decisions, right reads, a couple of plays where

878
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: he's got to throw it away because he sees something late,

879
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,320
Speaker 1: not terrible, not getting you killed, making the right decisions

880
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: even when the play is not there to be made.

881
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: Josh comes on the field trying to do those same things.

882
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 1: But a pass is low and wide, a passes over

883
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: somebody's head, and then he runs to the far hash

884
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: throws it fifty yards across the field to make a

885
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: forty yard gain to Rod Streeter on the opposite side

886
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: of the field into a fifteen mile per hour wind.

887
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,240
Speaker 1: And you say, holy cow, there's twenty eight other quarterbacks

888
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 1: who wouldn't even try that in the league. And he

889
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: just made that play. That's eye opening, it's fantastic, you'll

890
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 1: love to see it. But then the next play is incomplete,

891
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: and then he completes a five yard pass, and now

892
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: it's third down. He doesn't make that play and they're

893
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 1: off the field. And so my point here is, guys,

894
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 1: that while there are some eye popping plays that only

895
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:48,240
Speaker 1: Josh Allen can deliver among these three quarterbacks, the NFL,

896
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: and I've said this time and again, is about first downs,

897
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 1: not touchdowns. It's about staying on the field long enough

898
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: to get yourself in a position to score touchdowns. Now,

899
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,760
Speaker 1: some people might argue that and say, well, why wouldn't

900
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: you put the guy on the field it can throw

901
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:05,720
Speaker 1: the fifty yard touchdown, Well you would if that wasn't

902
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: happening once every fifteen plays. Josh Allen has to make

903
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: the ten to fifteen yard plays more consistently to convince

904
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: this coaching staff this guy's capable of making the right

905
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: decisions to keep us on the field, because one out

906
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: of every twelve plays being a big play may get

907
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:26,359
Speaker 1: us down the field. But if we're only getting three

908
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:28,839
Speaker 1: and not seven, because he can't make the next three

909
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:32,240
Speaker 1: plays after that. I don't know if that's the answer

910
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: we need right now. Well, and I don't discrie you, Chris,

911
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 1: but I think I in some sense maybe this is

912
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 1: what the caller from Dallas is suggesting, because I believe this.

913
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 1: There is time for Josh Allen to get there when

914
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 1: they get the training camp. There is no no. They're

915
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: unquestionably is and I'm not saying he can't. He may

916
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 1: get there by training camp and if he does well,

917
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: then yeah, put him on the field. I'm not going

918
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 1: to disagree with that. But I think the challenge for

919
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen between now and the time we get to

920
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: middle of August, when this ultimate decision is probably going

921
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:06,879
Speaker 1: to start to dry in the cement and cure. He's

922
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,959
Speaker 1: got to be consistent, Yeah, play after play after play,

923
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 1: much like some of these receivers were talking about in

924
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 1: the receiving Corps. If you want that job, you've got

925
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: to stack days positive day after positive day after positive day.

926
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 1: That's how Josh Allen is going to close this gap.

927
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: And it's evident to me he has not done that yet.

928
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,359
Speaker 1: Based on what coach McDermott said today, which was when

929
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: we get to day one of training camp, Josh is

930
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: still going to be predominantly with the threes. That says

931
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 1: to me and validates kind of what I've been seeing

932
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: out here that the consistency in Josh's game hasn't come

933
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 1: around yet to the point where they feel he's on

934
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: a level with the two guys with a little bit

935
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 1: more experience. He's not there yet, could get there, but

936
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: will not be there. Day one of training content. We're

937
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 1: gonna hear what coach McDermot said about Josh Allen when

938
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: we come back. Chris Brown with us Seemed Taskers on

939
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 1: vacation and come on back for more. One Bill's line

940
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 1: from One Bill's Drive and this is Buffalo Bill's Radio.

941
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 1: One Bill's line from One Bill's Drive. John Murphy, Chris

942
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:13,879
Speaker 1: Brown filling in a little bit today. He's gonna head

943
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: out in a moment to watch some more of today's

944
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 1: minicamp practice. Steve Tasker on vacation. We're here until three today,

945
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: good show. As we moved through the afternoon, last caller

946
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 1: talking about Josh Allen. Chris talked about Josh Ellen a

947
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 1: moment ago. Sean McDermott talked about Josh Allen today as well.

948
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: At his eleven thirty AM news conference, McDermott kind of

949
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 1: talking about what he likes what he's seen from Josh

950
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 1: Allen so far. Here's what he said, Well, the first

951
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 1: thing I look at is is his poise and is

952
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: he handling himself in and out of the huddle the

953
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: right way? Is he getting our offense to the lot

954
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, making the proper checks pre snap checks. And

955
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: he was able to do some of that, and and

956
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 1: I was I was impressed from that standpoint. And I

957
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 1: thought he put the ball in a position for plays

958
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: to be made at times and then other times we

959
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: he could have, you know, put the ball better position.

960
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: But overall I thought I thought he handled himself well

961
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: with room to grow. Room to grow, that is the

962
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 1: key phrase, along with put put the ball in a

963
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 1: position at times and then other times did not. That's

964
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 1: a kind of inconsistently you just referred to right. And

965
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 1: so that's the hurdle. He's got it clear. I mean, look,

966
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't look terrible. It's just you know, I think

967
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:28,839
Speaker 1: he's coming along. I think he's made progress and at

968
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: any given moment, he has the capability of delivering the

969
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: wow play that neither of the other two quarterbacks can.

970
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: He is physically gifted beyond belief in comparison to the

971
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 1: other two, it's not even close. He also presents a

972
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,359
Speaker 1: read option element to the offense that the other two

973
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 1: do not. They cannot execute the read option game. Alan

974
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: moves well enough and runs fast enough where he could

975
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 1: do that at the pro level. So now you put

976
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 1: him on the field, you have an extra dimension in

977
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,320
Speaker 1: your offense, you know, from a read option perspective. But

978
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 1: I think they need to know that he can make

979
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 1: the decisions consistently down in down, out, series in series out,

980
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 1: or they're gonna be a lot of three and outs

981
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen at quarterback. If you put him in

982
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 1: there prematurely at christ six weeks from today, first practice

983
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: at training camp, when the Bills get there in a

984
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:20,359
Speaker 1: month and a half, what do you think it would

985
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 1: be the biggest question about the Buffalo Bills going into

986
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:26,399
Speaker 1: training camp it was the number one quarterback. Yeah, well

987
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 1: that's a good one. That's a big question. Yeah. I mean,

988
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 1: that's murph. We've been down this road before. I mean

989
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 1: just three years ago, there was a three way quarterback competition. Tyrod,

990
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: can your name all three Tyrod Taylor, EJ. Manuel and

991
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 1: Matt Castle. I wasn't going to tell you. So we've

992
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: seen how this works before when that was the headline

993
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: of camp. It was the headline every single day. And

994
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 1: it does get tired, it does get old. Do you

995
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 1: remember Flutie Johnson that was three years Remember how old

996
00:50:56,160 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 1: that got. So it just dominates the whole complexion of

997
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:04,880
Speaker 1: the team, and to a certain degree, unfairly so, because

998
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:06,799
Speaker 1: you know, there are fifty two other guys that are

999
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:09,799
Speaker 1: gonna end up on this final roster, or I guess

1000
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: it would be fifty because those three quarterbacks you would

1001
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 1: assume are all going to be on the roster when

1002
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 1: it's all said and done. But you know there are

1003
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: other questions too. You know, Tremaine Emmon's going to really

1004
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 1: be able to run that defense? Is is the center

1005
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 1: spot secure? You know, how does left guard look? Do

1006
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 1: we have a nickel corner we can count on that's

1007
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 1: going to be on the field all the time? You know,

1008
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 1: there are a lot of moving parts there and a

1009
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 1: lot of questions to be answered, and you know that's

1010
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 1: part of the reason why we do Camp countdown on

1011
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills dot Com. It's almost to remind people, hey,

1012
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 1: there's something else besides the starting quarterback. Why do you

1013
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 1: start with that? We'll start July first, Okay, for the

1014
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 1: twenty five games or so. I've been telling seeing Tasker this,

1015
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:53,720
Speaker 1: and McDermott said it today. As far as the quarterbacks,

1016
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 1: he did say, we have a plan. Now. I don't

1017
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 1: think the plans etched in stone, but I do believe

1018
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: they have a plan for how many reps to get

1019
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,920
Speaker 1: those guys in the training camp and and what has

1020
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 1: to happen for a change in the in the rep chart,

1021
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:08,880
Speaker 1: let alone the depth chart, right, and a lot of

1022
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 1: guys A lot of media members were fishing around today

1023
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 1: with coach McDermott to see if there is going to

1024
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:20,280
Speaker 1: be a true equal across the board rep count rotation,

1025
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: kind of the way Rex Ryan ran it back in

1026
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen with history candidates, and that was fair as

1027
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: fair can be. That's not how it's going to start

1028
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 1: here in training camp for Josh Allen. It's going to

1029
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:35,320
Speaker 1: be Nathan Peterman and AJ mccaron largely working with the

1030
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 1: first and second team units and probably alternating day over day,

1031
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:42,839
Speaker 1: and Josh is going to spend most of the time

1032
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 1: with the third team unit. He's going to be sprinkled

1033
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: in for a series here, in a series there with

1034
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: the first unit, but until he demonstrates that he can

1035
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 1: dominate the third team segments, you know, in the practice setting,

1036
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,760
Speaker 1: I don't anticipate to move up the depth chart anytime

1037
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:03,920
Speaker 1: unless Nathan Peterman or a J. McCarron are falling on

1038
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 1: their face out there, you know, in practice day after day. Chris,

1039
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 1: thanks for let's get back out there. You got more

1040
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 1: work to do, right Yeah, I gotta watch the rest

1041
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 1: of practice so we can do the five things we

1042
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:12,840
Speaker 1: learn from day three of Mini Camps. We have on

1050
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 1: during this offseason? Is it, in fact the loss of

1051
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:36,840
Speaker 1: the quarterback Tyrod Taylor? Is it, in fact the loss

1052
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 1: of Eric Woodrichie incognito. Is it Preston Brown's departure? What

1059
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,399
Speaker 1: where it is the final day of the Bill's mini

1060
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 1: camp underway started in noon. I'll be going on for

1061
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 1: about one more hour After today, the Bills get six

1062
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: weeks off the players due they report for their first

1063
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:17,759
Speaker 1: practice at training camp six weeks from today. Saint Jones

1064
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 1: still on the rehab process, according to head coach Sean McDermott.

1065
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 1: For Fort Today's practice, McDermot says Jones is attacking it aggressively.

1066
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:26,839
Speaker 1: He says it'll be critical from now until the start

1067
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 1: of training camp for day, but he has no reason

1068
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: to believe he will not be in camp. More on

1069

00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,800
Speaker 1: the Jets camp, Sam Darnold has made a strong impression

1071
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 1: on Jets coordinator Jeremy Bates, who says the rookie quarterback

1072
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 1: could be the starter if he continues to absorb the

1073
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:46,439
Speaker 1: playbook at his current pace. Jarvis Landry, former Dolphins wide

1074
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:48,719
Speaker 1: receiver now with the Browns, says he has not heard

1075
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 1: from quarterback Ryan Tannehill since he was traded by the

1076
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 1: Dolphins and didn't surprise said we really didn't have a

1077
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 1: good relationship anyway. Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has downplayed the

1078
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 1: absence of five time Pro Bowl wide receiver who Leo

1079
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 1: Jones from the mandatory mini camp, says he plans to

1080
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 1: conduct July workouts involving Jones. Ryan has said he expects

1081
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,279
Speaker 1: that he will be there when the Falcons go to

1082
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:13,280
Speaker 1: training camp. The Bengals gamble on injured tight end Tyler Eifford,

1083
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 1: off to a bad start, is yet to take the

1084
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: field for this week's mini camp, and Marvin Lewis acknowledged

1085
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 1: yesterday that the status of the Pro bowler from a

1086
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:23,840
Speaker 1: couple of years ago is uncertain moving forward. And speaking

1087
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:27,440
Speaker 1: of tight ends, the Chargers have reached out to Antonio Gates.

1088
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 1: Tom Talasco says he's been in touch with the representatives

1089
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 1: for the veteran tight end about a possible return hockey news.

1090
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 1: Berry Trot's coach of the Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitol,

1091
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:40,240
Speaker 1: says that he has already had discussions about a contract

1092
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:42,359
Speaker 1: extension with him. It is opening day of the World

1093
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 1: Cup Soccer and the first match the host country Russia

1094
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 1: facing Saudi Arabia. Russia wins at five nothing in the

1095
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 1: Group A match in Moscow. Two other teams in Group A,

1096
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 1: Egypt and Uruguay, will play on Friday, along with the

1097
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 1: four teams in Group B and the US Open golf

1098
00:55:57,600 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 1: underway six tied for the lead at one or part,

1099
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 1: including American Ian Poulter. That is the update from One

1100
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:06,759
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive, John Murphy. Here is Steve Tasker on vacation.

1101
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:08,839
Speaker 1: He is off for about a week and a half

1102
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,919
Speaker 1: and we're filling in. Chris Brown joined us a moment ago,

1103
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 1: and we'll get back with more from Chris. We hope

1104
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:16,799
Speaker 1: leading around on the show. In the meantime, let's take

1105
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 1: a look at the Miami Dolphins. We had a look

1106
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 1: at the Jets earlier this week from Mnish Metta joining

1107
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 1: us on the Subway Fresh Take Hotline right now. A

1108
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 1: guy who makes a living following the Miami Dolphins. He's

1109
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,879
Speaker 1: done it for several years. Almando Guero on the line

1110
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 1: with us, who covers the Dolphins for the Miami Herald, Armando,

1111
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 1: thank you very much for joining us. We appreciate it

1112
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 1: so time off since one. Yeah, got all about Isn't

1113
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 1: that crazy? And he just started here about a month

1114
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:44,719
Speaker 1: and a half ago and he's on vacation already. That's

1115
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:47,759
Speaker 1: a great gig. How do I get that gig? Sign up?

1116
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 1: In fact, we got an opening Monday. If you're available,

1117
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 1: we get you. We can get you in here Monday, Armando.

1118
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 1: Before we get to the Dolphins, I want to ask

1119
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 1: you about one of the newest Cleveland Browns, Jarvis Landry.

1120
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 1: What is his deal? Why is he almost preoccupied with

1121
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:04,320
Speaker 1: his relationship with Ryan Tammello or his lack of a

1122
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 1: good relationship. Yeah. I think what you're starting to see

1123
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 1: is the reasons behind why the Miami Dolphins decided that

1124
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: paying him, you know, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen million dollars a

1125
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: year to have him for the next four or five

1126
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:24,560
Speaker 1: years was not probably the smartest option for them to take.

1127
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 1: There was, and there has been for a while, an

1128
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 1: underlying current of reasons the Dolphins weren't comfortable with Jarvis.

1129
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 1: He was more about you know him oftentimes than about teams.

1130
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 1: You know, he didn't always take coaching the way they

1131
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 1: wanted to, you know, deliver it. He didn't really, I

1132
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 1: would say he wasn't part of the solution. Let's let's

1133
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:56,439
Speaker 1: make it plain, and so as far as they were concerned, Yeah,

1134
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: there's going to be pain to be had when you

1135
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 1: lose one hundred plus catches a year, but sometimes that

1136
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 1: pain is worth it if you can bring in like

1137
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: a Danny a Mendola who is you know, blood and

1138
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 1: guts and all about team and will do whatever you

1139
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 1: need to do, have done and whatever you ask him

1140
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 1: to do, and will be a leader among the wide receivers.

1141
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 1: If there's a little bit of a drop off in

1142
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:27,040
Speaker 1: production from Jarvis, that's fine, but the locker room will

1143
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:29,960
Speaker 1: probably be better. You know, you tweeted it out and

1144
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 1: I agree with you. You said basically, you're saying, hey, Jarvis,

1145
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 1: Landry Ryan Tannehill is greater than Tyrod Taylor. Does he

1146
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 1: not acknowledge that? Landry doesn't realize that. Well, obviously he's

1147
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 1: in Cleveland now and everything Cleveland to him is awesome

1148
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 1: and everything Miami to him is old and weathered and

1149
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 1: bad and not good enough. And look, let's face it,

1150
00:58:56,320 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 1: the Dolphins at times in the last four years have

1151
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 1: been old and weathered and bad and not good enough.

1152
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 1: But Jarvis Landry was part of that. He was one

1153
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 1: of you know, he caught a hundred passes two times

1154
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 1: in the last four years, and both times the team

1155
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 1: went six and ten. So where's his solution? Right? My

1156
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:23,320
Speaker 1: point is, Tyrod Taylor is a fine quarterback, especially when

1157
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 1: he plays the Miami Dolphins, at which point he turns

1158
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 1: into Joe Montana. But Jarvis is going to find out

1159
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:35,240
Speaker 1: that what looks really good in May and March in

1160
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 1: June is a different story in September, October and November. Right,

1161
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 1: One more thing about Jarvis. He'd lost me a couple

1162
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 1: of years ago when he lit up the Bills Aaron

1163
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 1: Williams essentially ended his career. And then when I saw

1164
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:52,120
Speaker 1: him in the New Year's Eve game, basically while he

1165
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 1: got ejected from the game, I thought it was kind

1166
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 1: of a selfish act. I just don't I don't know

1167
00:59:56,560 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 1: that anyone, including the Browns, should depend on Jarvis land

1168
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Dry to be a consistent, reliable difference maker, just because

1169
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 1: mostly because of his personality. Am I wrong? Think of

1170
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 1: that situation? By the way, Adam Gas called that moment

1171
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 1: an embarrassment. Think of that situation if the Dolphins. Obviously,

1172
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 1: the Dolphins were out of it, they were done. The

1173
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 1: Bills were trying to win a game to get into

1174
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But if that situation had been one where

1175
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 1: the Dolphins win and they get in. Basically, what Jarvis

1176
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 1: Landry decided to do was take a swipe at somebody

1177
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 1: for no real great reason. And now you're ejected for

1178
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 1: the last four minutes of the game, and the team

1179
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 1: that's trying to win a game all of a sudden

1180
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 1: and is counting on you all of a sudden doesn't

1181
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 1: have you at the most important time in the fourth

1182
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 1: quarter of a game. What are you as far as

1183
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 1: a teammate? What are you as far as a smart

1184
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 1: football player? Because that had no intelligence behind it. Yeah,

1185
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 1: not a fan. I gotta say. Armando Sargaro on the

1186
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 1: line with this countess for the Miami Herald, who keeps

1187
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:12,440
Speaker 1: a strong eye on the Dolphins Dolphins insider, much of

1188
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:14,400
Speaker 1: the attention I would think through the OTAs a mini

1189
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 1: camp has been centered on Ryan Tannehill and his physical status.

1190
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 1: How did he look? What did we anticipate to get

1191
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 1: from Ryan Tannehill? So he looked good and that was good.

1192
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 1: But you know, at this time last year, he looked

1193
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 1: good and that was good until the third you know,

1194
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 1: practice of training camp when he blew out his knee again.

1195
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:40,800
Speaker 1: And so I come from a background of I was

1196
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:43,800
Speaker 1: here in two thousand and six when Dante polk Culpepper

1197
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 1: came to the Dolphins and Sports Illustrated picked the Dolphins

1198
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 1: to go to the Super Bowl. And Dante Coulpepper looked

1199
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 1: good in the offseason training and look good in the

1200
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 1: mini camp, and look good in preseason, and then the

1201
01:01:56,920 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 1: regular season began and teams realized the can't move and

1202
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 1: they got after him, and by the fifth game he

1203
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 1: was benched. So much for you know, Super Bowl aspirations.

1204
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 1: My point is that now is a time where anyone

1205
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 1: can say Ryan is fine, Ryan is good, It's wonderful.

1206
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 1: But the true test of Ryan Tannehill will come when

1207
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 1: the adversity hits in September, when teams decide, okay, well

1208
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:30,959
Speaker 1: you haven't played football in six hundred days, we're gonna

1209
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,680
Speaker 1: get after you. And we're gonna make you feel like

1210
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:38,479
Speaker 1: you haven't played football in six hundred days and that's

1211
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 1: going to be a problem for you. Ryan Tannehill, Yeah,

1212
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 1: is there I know he's coming back from injury, but

1213
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 1: is there an all a sense around the Dolphins that

1214
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 1: the team has seen the ceiling from Ryan Tannehill, that

1215
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 1: we know who he is, we know how good he'll be,

1216
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 1: and that's it. We don't expect much more from him.

1217
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:57,160
Speaker 1: On the contrary, they think that when he got hurt

1218
01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:02,160
Speaker 1: in December of twenty sixteen the first time, that he

1219
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 1: was just starting to scratch the surface of Adam Gates's

1220
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 1: offense and that you know, he was finally getting it

1221
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 1: and finally was comfortable, and then he got hurt. And

1222
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:13,760
Speaker 1: in that game that he got hurt, he had thrown

1223
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 1: like three touchdown passes and one interception. So he hasn't

1224
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 1: played football since then. So they're thinking if he can

1225
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 1: pick up where he left off, obviously with another year

1226
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:28,600
Speaker 1: of knowing the offense and being in meetings and seeing

1227
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:33,080
Speaker 1: how other players do it, they have something. If he

1228
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:37,160
Speaker 1: is rusty and once again, you know, has to start

1229
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 1: all over again, then they're gonna have early you know,

1230
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 1: early issues with him. But my guess is that whatever

1231
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 1: you've seen of Ryan Tannehill, forget about that, because either

1232
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna be better or he's gonna be rusty. I

1233
01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:55,680
Speaker 1: don't think he's going to be the same guy. Rusty

1234
01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 1: would be a problem. Wouldn't it right that he is

1235
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 1: the answer at quarterback for them? I believe for this year? Yeah,

1236
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:08,520
Speaker 1: it's what is it not for long? Yeah? You know what? Else?

1237
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 1: And treats me about the Dolphins And we've talked about

1238
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 1: it on our show, Stephen a couple of times. The

1239
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:16,600
Speaker 1: Adam Gase gets a chance here to tear down his

1240
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:18,440
Speaker 1: team and build it up again in search of a

1241
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 1: of a what a new chemistry, a new culture around

1242
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 1: his team. It's it's kind of rare that a coach

1243
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 1: would get to do that with you know that a

1244
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:28,040
Speaker 1: move would be made like to at a roster be

1245
01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 1: torn apart for that reason with the same coach. How

1246
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:32,880
Speaker 1: does he get that chance? What do they like about case?

1247
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:36,919
Speaker 1: How does he get an opportunity to restart to reboot? Well,

1248
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 1: he gets an opportunity because he made the playoffs in

1249
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:44,320
Speaker 1: its first season. Yeah, and last year was a fallback year,

1250
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:47,840
Speaker 1: but they fell back without their starting quarterback, and so

1251
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 1: it would it would be unwise to decide that, well,

1252
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 1: you know, you had a bad year without your starting quarterback,

1253
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:58,920
Speaker 1: You're you're gone. That They weren't going to do that.

1254
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 1: They're thinking, now you have your starting quarterback back, You've

1255
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:07,800
Speaker 1: made adjustments both to your locker room and your coaching staff.

1256
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:11,720
Speaker 1: Let's see what you got. So it wouldn't really I

1257
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: don't think that if I were the owner of the

1258
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:19,040
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphin, I would be looking at Adam Gay sideways. Yet.

1259
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 1: Now this season is going to be something of a

1260
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 1: tell for the ownership group. But up until now, you

1261
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 1: know that's he gets another chance because he's probably it's

1262
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 1: probably the right thing. I'm curious in you're about your

1263
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 1: take on Adam gaze Armando because I watched him and

1264
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:42,959
Speaker 1: I see him as a as a play caller, probably

1265
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 1: a very accomplished play caller. But is he really head

1266
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:48,400
Speaker 1: coach material. Does he have command of the whole operation,

1267
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 1: all the details, or is he just you know, an

1268
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:55,400
Speaker 1: offense an exceedingly brilliant offensive coach who knows how to

1269
01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:59,360
Speaker 1: call plays. He's a very bright man. But something beyond

1270
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 1: that's me it's gonna be all right. Is he's a

1271
01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 1: very good leader. You know, the players respect him, the

1272
01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:13,240
Speaker 1: players like him to a degree. I think that that's good.

1273
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:17,680
Speaker 1: And I think that he knows what a good football team.

1274
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:23,479
Speaker 1: Let me back up, he knows what his football team

1275
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:26,440
Speaker 1: must look like. So he has a vision in his

1276
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:29,720
Speaker 1: head of what he wants to put on the field

1277
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 1: and how he wants them to play, and he thinks

1278
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:37,240
Speaker 1: that that is going to work. It's yet to be

1279
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 1: seen whether he can he's able to put that thing

1280
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:44,320
Speaker 1: together to whereas on a Sunday afternoon at hard Rock

1281
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:48,920
Speaker 1: Stadium you see his vision manifesting. But at least he

1282
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:52,320
Speaker 1: has a clue and a vision of what he wants.

1283
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:59,360
Speaker 1: We've had coaches here that didn't exactly have clues or visions,

1284
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:03,960
Speaker 1: and so the result was a lot of losing and

1285
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 1: a lot of no playoff years and a lot of yeah,

1286
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 1: we'll get him next year, when it was never something

1287
01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:13,320
Speaker 1: that was realistic. Just a couple of I want to

1288
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 1: ask you about two other additions to the offense Armando.

1289
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 1: One of them you already mentioned Danny Avendola. Clearly, he

1290
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:24,040
Speaker 1: would be a cultural upgrade over Jarvis Landry, but production wise,

1291
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:27,960
Speaker 1: there's no way he can match Landry's production. But what

1292
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:31,920
Speaker 1: about Danny Avendola gets Dolphins fans excited? What does he

1293
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:34,000
Speaker 1: bringing to the operation there that could make be a

1294
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 1: difference maker. So, no, he's not going to catch a

1295
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:40,000
Speaker 1: hundred passes. They don't want him to catch a hundred

1296
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 1: passes if you have if you're a team that has

1297
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 1: a receiver that catches one hundred passes for eight hundred yards,

1298
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:49,800
Speaker 1: you're not a good football team. You're you're a team

1299
01:07:49,880 --> 01:07:54,680
Speaker 1: that was lacking somebody and didn't really get enough big

1300
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:57,920
Speaker 1: place to make a difference in the NFL. So what

1301
01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:01,200
Speaker 1: they want from him is, you know, he is going

1302
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:05,080
Speaker 1: to be the safety net for Ryan Tannehill. They have

1303
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 1: already built something of a chemistry. They want leadership from him.

1304
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 1: Danny A. Mendola had a practice that was open to

1305
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:18,840
Speaker 1: the media and he dropped the pass and what rolled

1306
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:21,960
Speaker 1: out of his mouth after that was a series of

1307
01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:27,360
Speaker 1: of f bombs and other words that would make people,

1308
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:33,760
Speaker 1: you know, cringe. But that tells you what kind of

1309
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:37,439
Speaker 1: guy he is. He is a guy that wants demands

1310
01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:42,600
Speaker 1: excellence of himself, even in may, even during a meaningless

1311
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:47,400
Speaker 1: you know, ota practice. So that when we get to

1312
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:50,960
Speaker 1: the season, that's not that's a catch for six yards

1313
01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:54,080
Speaker 1: or seven yards and not a drop. And that has

1314
01:08:54,920 --> 01:09:00,360
Speaker 1: is the kind of I think narrative that now rives

1315
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:03,280
Speaker 1: the entire wide receiver room because they all see that

1316
01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:07,639
Speaker 1: and they go, hey, if it's not If he doesn't

1317
01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:10,880
Speaker 1: feel like it's cool for him to drop that pass

1318
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:14,519
Speaker 1: in an Oka practice, the guy that's got three Super

1319
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 1: Bowl rings probably doesn't feel like it's cool for us

1320
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:21,000
Speaker 1: to drop these passes. Yeah, you gotta understand the Dolphins

1321
01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:28,400
Speaker 1: in September led the NFL and drops and so there's yes,

1322
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:31,160
Speaker 1: he's part of the cultural change. By the way, Frank

1323
01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:34,280
Speaker 1: Gore another edition that he might want to mention, he's

1324
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:36,640
Speaker 1: part of that cultural change. I want to ask you

1325
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:39,160
Speaker 1: about a rookie, a very highly regarded ten end Penn

1326
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:41,880
Speaker 1: State ten end Mike Sicky, second round pick. Does he

1327
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 1: have a role to play a major role to play

1328
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:47,360
Speaker 1: in the Dolphins offense. They hope he does. We haven't

1329
01:09:47,439 --> 01:09:51,160
Speaker 1: seen it yet. My guess is that you know he's

1330
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:55,920
Speaker 1: a six six, two hundred and forty two hundred and

1331
01:09:57,200 --> 01:10:03,640
Speaker 1: forty two pound athletic freak. The former basketball and volleyball

1332
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:09,200
Speaker 1: player you know, he can jump to the moon. And

1333
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:14,400
Speaker 1: my guess is early on in the season he is

1334
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 1: going to be a red zone They're going to have

1335
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:19,840
Speaker 1: packages for him. Even if he doesn't, you know, have

1336
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 1: the whole offense digested, he will have a package on

1337
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:29,479
Speaker 1: passing downs and in the red zone where he can

1338
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:33,599
Speaker 1: factor and they can use that size and his speed

1339
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:39,000
Speaker 1: and his athletic ability to their benefit. And final question, Armando,

1340
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 1: you know we're all in AFC East. We're all in

1341
01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 1: the same boat. Buffalo, Jets, Dolphins, we all kind of

1342
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:47,000
Speaker 1: try to get as close as we can to the Patriots.

1343
01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:50,400
Speaker 1: In your assessment, twenty five or more years covering the Dolphins,

1344
01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:53,840
Speaker 1: which AFC East team do you think Mike finished second?

1345
01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:56,120
Speaker 1: And you know it the Bills? Is that the Dolphins?

1346
01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 1: Is that the Jets? What do you think? So? I

1347
01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 1: really like what the Bills did last year, but I

1348
01:11:03,560 --> 01:11:08,320
Speaker 1: think that with their offensive line and now they've got

1349
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:12,439
Speaker 1: to bring a young quarterback along and kind of live

1350
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:15,439
Speaker 1: the good and the bad of that experience, I think

1351
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 1: the Bills are in for something of a fallback kind

1352
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 1: of year. I think the Dolphins, if Bryan Tanne have

1353
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 1: killed can stay healthy, they should be better. I think

1354
01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:33,640
Speaker 1: the Jets again with the quarterback situation, what are they

1355
01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:36,800
Speaker 1: gonna do. Are they going to play their experienced quarterbacks

1356
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:41,200
Speaker 1: or are they going to play their rookie? So at

1357
01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:44,200
Speaker 1: some point they have to make a choice. It really

1358
01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:47,479
Speaker 1: to me boiled down to who's got the best quarterback

1359
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:52,560
Speaker 1: of those three teams. I would say that today the

1360
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 1: Dolphins through tomorrow, during the season, depending on injuries and

1361
01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 1: so forth. Because by the way, if Ryan Tannehill goes

1362
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:06,080
Speaker 1: down again, the Dolphins are done. It's over. There is

1363
01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:10,840
Speaker 1: no you know, Teddy Bridgewater waiting in the wings or

1364
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:13,760
Speaker 1: anything like that, or a first round pick waiting in

1365
01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:18,280
Speaker 1: the wings. They've got brock Osweiler. So you know how

1366
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:22,599
Speaker 1: that works. Yeah, yea. So it's it's about the quarterback,

1367
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:25,000
Speaker 1: and the second best quarterback in the division right now

1368
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:28,840
Speaker 1: is Ryan Tannehill. Armando, thanks for this. We appreciate it.

1369
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:30,280
Speaker 1: We know we'll see you down the line a little bit.

1370
01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:34,439

1390
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:47,479
Speaker 1: Expect to hear from him, Bill's head coach, Sean McDermot

1391
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:50,640
Speaker 1: in a moment or two, and Lorenzo Alexander schedule to

1392
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 1: join us so as well. Today The Bills just coming

1393
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:56,160
Speaker 1: off the field. OTA's Minicamp over. Next time the Bills

1394
01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:58,719
Speaker 1: hit the field, it'll be six weeks from today, July

1395
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:01,840
Speaker 1: twenty six four, Tin Camp. Can you believe that? Can

1396
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:04,040
Speaker 1: you believe that? It's just a little hard for me

1397
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:07,400
Speaker 1: to believe it's it goes fast, you know you wait, wait,

1398
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:09,759
Speaker 1: wait they come back. When they come back April, mid April,

1399
01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:13,480
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, that's over with the workouts, conditioning,

1400
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:15,960
Speaker 1: work in the OTAs, ten days of OTAs and now

1401
01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:18,200
Speaker 1: the three days of mini camp and it's only six

1402
01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:19,680
Speaker 1: weeks away. All of a sudden, I feel like the

1403
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:22,880
Speaker 1: summer is here once we know the training camp is coming.

1404
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:25,360
Speaker 1: Our Twitter poll today, we'd love to get your response

1405
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:27,160
Speaker 1: to this Who the Bill is gonna miss of the

1406
01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:30,640
Speaker 1: players who departed, and especially now in terms of the

1407
01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:32,400
Speaker 1: fact that the you know, the off season for the

1408
01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:34,599
Speaker 1: most part is over when they're on the field began,

1409
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:37,160
Speaker 1: it'll be training camp. So who will be most missed

1410
01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 1: of the Bill's departures? On Twitter? Eighty eight percent of

1411
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:42,520
Speaker 1: you say it'll be the tandem of Wood and Incognito,

1412
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:45,880
Speaker 1: five percent say Tyrod Taylor, five percent say Preston Brown,

1413
01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:48,160
Speaker 1: two percent say, if somebody else in mind, the phone

1414
01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:50,040
Speaker 1: line is over, if you can care to discuss eight

1415
01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:53,080
Speaker 1: oh three five fifty toll free one eight eight eight

1416
01:14:53,200 --> 01:14:56,240
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty, let us know what you think,

1417
01:14:56,320 --> 01:14:58,680
Speaker 1: and especially now that you know who the replacements are, right,

1418
01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:02,360
Speaker 1: who we think the replacements will be gonna be somebody

1419
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:04,840
Speaker 1: new at quarterback, It's gonna be mccaron or Josh Allen

1420
01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:08,000
Speaker 1: or Nathan Peterman. It looks like Tremine Edmonds is going

1421
01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:11,280
Speaker 1: to be Preston Brown's replacement. As far as Wood and incognito,

1422
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:14,120
Speaker 1: it looks like it'll be Ryan Groy and maybe Russell

1423
01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:19,000
Speaker 1: Bodine or maybe you know, John Miller back in the

1424
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:22,479
Speaker 1: lineup at guard with Ducas moving over the other side.

1425
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:24,000
Speaker 1: So you kind of have a sense of who the

1426
01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:27,160
Speaker 1: replacements for those key critical players are. So now, who

1427
01:15:27,200 --> 01:15:29,800
Speaker 1: do you think the biggest offseason loss is? Lines open

1428
01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:32,439
Speaker 1: eight oh three five fifty twenty three one eight eight

1429
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:35,559
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty or on Twitter at one,

1430
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:39,120
Speaker 1: Bill's live from the tweet sheet from Joshua. He's got

1431
01:15:39,320 --> 01:15:43,320
Speaker 1: a couple of guys under the other category. He says,

1432
01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:45,479
Speaker 1: I think the losses of E. J. Gaines and Leonard

1433
01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:49,719
Speaker 1: Johnson could greatly influence the season, similar to the losses

1434
01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 1: on the offensive line, we just don't know how their

1435
01:15:52,160 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 1: replacements will do. Yeah, you can make that argument. I

1436
01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:58,000
Speaker 1: don't know if they're the most important, but I think

1437
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:01,760
Speaker 1: you can make that argument that you don't know. You

1438
01:16:01,840 --> 01:16:05,439
Speaker 1: just don't know. There are certainly candidates for replacing those two, EJ.

1439
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:09,000
Speaker 1: Gaines and Leonard Johnson. Gaines on the outside, Vonte Davis

1440
01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:12,840
Speaker 1: lined up ready to be the starter there. As far

1441
01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:15,080
Speaker 1: as Leonard Johnson, they're gonna need a new nickel corner.

1442
01:16:15,120 --> 01:16:17,720
Speaker 1: They've worked out a few people there, but there's no

1443
01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:19,920
Speaker 1: certainty who that will be just yet. We talked with

1444
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:22,400
Speaker 1: Chris Brown about that. The rookie Arren Johnson is in

1445
01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:25,760
Speaker 1: camp getting some reps there, and there are others as well,

1446
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:27,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's that's pretty good point. As far as

1447
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:31,040
Speaker 1: under the other category, Thomas Wood tweets in has to

1448
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:34,200
Speaker 1: be Wood and Incognito. They were a really stable base

1449
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:37,479
Speaker 1: for Shady in the run game. I would agree that

1450
01:16:37,640 --> 01:16:39,840
Speaker 1: might be the biggest loss, except for the fact that

1451
01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:42,240
Speaker 1: I feel like the Bills are pretty well set up

1452
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:44,960
Speaker 1: for replacements there. I really do. I think when you

1453
01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:48,599
Speaker 1: talk about the experience that they had with Ryan Groy

1454
01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:50,560
Speaker 1: as a starting center, where Eric Wood got hurt a

1455
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:52,840
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, that was impressive, and he didn't

1456
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:54,880
Speaker 1: play last year, so he's kind of like out of

1457
01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:56,680
Speaker 1: your mind, right, you don't think about him too much.

1458
01:16:56,960 --> 01:16:59,360
Speaker 1: But I think that with Groy, and then it appears

1459
01:16:59,479 --> 01:17:01,640
Speaker 1: that const going to flip from the right side to

1460
01:17:01,720 --> 01:17:04,360
Speaker 1: the left at least as mini camp comes to an end,

1461
01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:07,000
Speaker 1: and they've got John Miller, former starter back in the

1462
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:11,200
Speaker 1: offensive starting offensive line starting group. I mean, basically, you've

1463
01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:13,439
Speaker 1: replaced Wood and Incognito with a couple of guys who

1464
01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:17,240
Speaker 1: have started before for this team on the offensive line,

1465
01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:22,080
Speaker 1: and it's you know, it's groyat center and possibly Miller

1466
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:23,840
Speaker 1: or do const depending on how you want to look

1467
01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:27,840
Speaker 1: at it, as the new starters. Tiffany Daniels tweets in

1468
01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:31,800
Speaker 1: and answered to her question. When your offensive centerpiece makes

1469
01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:33,960
Speaker 1: it known that losing Wood and Incognito was a big,

1470
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:36,519
Speaker 1: big loss to the offensive line, it has to be

1471
01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:39,000
Speaker 1: a concern. Eric Wood was a leader on and off

1472
01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:40,880
Speaker 1: the field. It would be a big challenge to replace

1473
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:43,640
Speaker 1: a player of his magnitude. I agree, Tiffany and you

1474
01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:46,840
Speaker 1: bring up the one part about Eric Wood that is

1475
01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:49,640
Speaker 1: not replaceable and hasn't been replaced yet, and that is

1476
01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:54,040
Speaker 1: the leadership. Now it's playing ability, I think is more

1477
01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:57,840
Speaker 1: important than leadership. But leadership is strong too, so I

1478
01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:01,320
Speaker 1: think that's important. It's important, and it's not something you

1479
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:03,400
Speaker 1: can just annoint a leader. We'll ask coach about it.

1480
01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:06,120
Speaker 1: You have to have somebody emerge, and hopefully sooner rather

1481
01:18:06,200 --> 01:18:09,040
Speaker 1: than later. And one more tweet on this from the

1482
01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:12,840
Speaker 1: tweet sheet from Frank and cheek Twaga would have voted

1483
01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:15,080
Speaker 1: time out up until a few days ago, but Hall

1484
01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:17,599
Speaker 1: of Fame Nate's performance in practice on Tuesday has made

1485
01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:19,200
Speaker 1: it clear that the Bills are set up at quarterback

1486
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:20,880
Speaker 1: for many years to come. I have a feeling that

1487
01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:24,320
Speaker 1: Frank and cheek Twaga is being facetious. Petermans had some

1488
01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:27,280
Speaker 1: good moments out here. Hall of Famer. Not quite yet,

1489
01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:29,439
Speaker 1: all right, we got more to come. Stick around, come

1490
01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:31,599
Speaker 1: on back for more. It is One Bill's Live from

1491
01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:45,679
Speaker 1: One Bill's Drive and this is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome

1492
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:49,800
Speaker 1: back to the show, John Murphy with special guests, surprise guests. Really,

1493
01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:51,200
Speaker 1: we have a couple of new guests here. We don't

1494
01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 1: have Steve Tasker's he's away. He is out for a

1495
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:55,559
Speaker 1: week and a half. But we do have a couple

1496
01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:57,760
Speaker 1: of special guests who surprised me by walking in right

1497
01:18:57,800 --> 01:19:01,000
Speaker 1: after the mini camp session. Head coach Sean McDermot. You

1498
01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:03,240
Speaker 1: used to see him here on the show, coach stopping by.

1499
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:05,360
Speaker 1: Good to be here with you next to him. Head

1500
01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 1: coach Reggie Witherspoon, the head coach of the Kennisia's College

1501
01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:11,080
Speaker 1: Golden Griffins basketball Griffs. Reggie, good to have you here.

1502
01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:12,880
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me Marv Good. Good to have a

1503
01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 1: little home talk on the show for a change. I

1504
01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:17,519
Speaker 1: am a season ticket holder for Kinesius basketball coach. I

1505
01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:20,040
Speaker 1: am a big fan. Reggie know, I got great seats too.

1506
01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:22,640
Speaker 1: You don't pay attention to me. You're You're like I

1507
01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:25,400
Speaker 1: am two rows behind the visitors bench. You're the heckler

1508
01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:29,360
Speaker 1: when a situation calls for it. I left the other coach.

1509
01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:31,320
Speaker 1: Now I got to start paying more attention to him

1510
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:33,200
Speaker 1: because he could probably give us a little insight to

1511
01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:35,880
Speaker 1: you know, what they're doing right timeouts. Maybe just take

1512
01:19:36,120 --> 01:19:38,880
Speaker 1: take a glance over. I'm there to help friend. I

1513
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:41,519
Speaker 1: used to do that for Joe mahalakt Niagara. I would

1514
01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:43,400
Speaker 1: sit behind the visitors bench and work them a little bit.

1515
01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:47,240
Speaker 1: Is that, Yes, I'll do it for you. I'll do

1516
01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:48,640
Speaker 1: it for you. Thank you coming by? What brings you

1517
01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:50,200
Speaker 1: out here? Regie? Well, I guess came out to see

1518
01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:53,400
Speaker 1: Sean and see the bills. You know, that's that's great.

1519
01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:54,800
Speaker 1: It's always great to be able to do that. What

1520
01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:57,000
Speaker 1: do you think of practice? I loved it. I love

1521
01:19:57,080 --> 01:19:59,719
Speaker 1: the pace of it, the rhythm of it, how fast

1522
01:19:59,800 --> 01:20:01,800
Speaker 1: it went, you know, how they got from one drill

1523
01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:04,360
Speaker 1: to another, how I was organized. I loved it. I

1524
01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:07,280
Speaker 1: really did appreciate that you're coaching Reggie at Canisius in

1525
01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:11,240
Speaker 1: college basketball. You're coaching eighteen, nineteen twenty one, twenty two

1526
01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:14,400
Speaker 1: year olds. You obviously indoors basketball. But what can you

1527
01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:17,519
Speaker 1: take from watching an NFL football practice that might help

1528
01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:20,479
Speaker 1: you set up a basketball prayer? The organization of it first,

1529
01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:23,280
Speaker 1: you know, I told you this before, Sean. It's amazing

1530
01:20:23,360 --> 01:20:28,360
Speaker 1: how you get that many guys mobilized and moving together,

1531
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:31,320
Speaker 1: so to be able to see that what you have today,

1532
01:20:32,479 --> 01:20:35,519
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's yeah. You know, we try to

1533
01:20:35,560 --> 01:20:39,160
Speaker 1: get fifteen guys to move like that, and then and

1534
01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:43,120
Speaker 1: then to be able to see them move together and

1535
01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:47,960
Speaker 1: be organized and be you know, aligned correctly. I mean

1536
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:50,640
Speaker 1: that's something. How do you do that? Chun? Where did

1537
01:20:50,680 --> 01:20:52,479
Speaker 1: you learn to do that? Oh? Well, you know I

1538
01:20:52,640 --> 01:20:54,880
Speaker 1: was I kind of cut my teeth around Andy Reid

1539
01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:57,120
Speaker 1: and that you know, he's known for around the league.

1540
01:20:57,120 --> 01:21:00,479
Speaker 1: He's known for that in terms of his u efficiency

1541
01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:02,880
Speaker 1: really of his practices and the flow and the pace,

1542
01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:06,240
Speaker 1: the tempo. Uh. You know, we try and get on

1543
01:21:06,360 --> 01:21:08,640
Speaker 1: and get off as quickly as we can and make

1544
01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:10,439
Speaker 1: them most of our time. So and I think our

1545
01:21:10,439 --> 01:21:12,760
Speaker 1: players appreciate that. It keeps them off their feet as

1546
01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:15,479
Speaker 1: much as possible. And and we you know, I tell

1547
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:16,960
Speaker 1: them we'll take care of you. But when we work,

1548
01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:18,920
Speaker 1: when we cross over that line of time to work, Chun,

1549
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:21,320
Speaker 1: When you when new guys came in, whether they're rookies

1550
01:21:21,400 --> 01:21:23,560
Speaker 1: or free agents from somebody else in the league, do

1551
01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:25,120
Speaker 1: you ever have to get them up to speed on

1552
01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:28,040
Speaker 1: how you practice and how do you do what happens

1553
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:29,960
Speaker 1: is their position? Coach, tell them this is what we do.

1554
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:32,439
Speaker 1: Be ready for there's an adjustment. Let's just call you know,

1555
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:37,400
Speaker 1: there's an adjustment period and for some more than others. Right,

1556
01:21:37,960 --> 01:21:39,840
Speaker 1: Probably no different for you coach, when you're bringing a

1557
01:21:39,880 --> 01:21:42,200
Speaker 1: young player or a transfer, if you're able to get

1558
01:21:42,240 --> 01:21:44,640
Speaker 1: a transfer, or what have you. I mean, And we

1559
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:47,920
Speaker 1: refer to it as adjusting to our habits. And so

1560
01:21:48,720 --> 01:21:52,160
Speaker 1: from time to time we'll film some of our habits

1561
01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:54,479
Speaker 1: that are going on, not just on the playing field,

1562
01:21:54,520 --> 01:21:57,320
Speaker 1: but what's going on around or how we transition. We

1563
01:21:57,400 --> 01:22:00,280
Speaker 1: will actually film that early on as we lay a

1564
01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:03,519
Speaker 1: foundation of what and what we expect and how we

1565
01:22:03,680 --> 01:22:07,360
Speaker 1: want things done. Because when you do the little things right,

1566
01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:10,320
Speaker 1: the big things are that much easier. It's important to note, Reggie,

1567
01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:12,920
Speaker 1: you're a lifelong Western New Yorker and a Bills fan, right,

1568
01:22:12,920 --> 01:22:15,640
Speaker 1: and you have a connection your your daughter has a

1569
01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:17,360
Speaker 1: job here, right, and take it off as a part time.

1570
01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:19,479
Speaker 1: I do a Rachel works in ticket off as part time.

1571
01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:22,120
Speaker 1: Loves the Bills. They all grew up watching the Bills,

1572
01:22:22,160 --> 01:22:26,599
Speaker 1: and and so it was exciting. Last year was just thrilling. Yeah,

1573
01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:28,920
Speaker 1: to be able to see all that happened. I can't,

1574
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:30,760
Speaker 1: I mean for you to first year. I mean, just

1575
01:22:32,360 --> 01:22:35,320
Speaker 1: he's bright, this guy, what he's what he's been able

1576
01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:39,559
Speaker 1: to do, and just coming here to the Western New

1577
01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:41,840
Speaker 1: York area, being able to meet a coach and a

1578
01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:45,479
Speaker 1: man like like Reggie and his staff and um, you know,

1579
01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:49,479
Speaker 1: watch them and how they run their program. Uh, you

1580
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:51,639
Speaker 1: know we can I know he mentioned coming out here

1581
01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:55,200
Speaker 1: to learn, but you know you're able to. I'm able

1582
01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:58,040
Speaker 1: to learn from watching him and his staff and what again,

1583
01:22:58,080 --> 01:23:01,680
Speaker 1: they've been able to establish this and ord which they

1584
01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:05,200
Speaker 1: expect to do things at and and you know, really,

1585
01:23:05,400 --> 01:23:08,559
Speaker 1: as it says, you know, iron sharpens iron. So having

1586
01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:10,640
Speaker 1: people come in and visit is good for us as

1587
01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:13,320
Speaker 1: good for me to continue to learn and develop and

1588
01:23:13,400 --> 01:23:15,960
Speaker 1: what I do. Reggie back for two years now as

1589
01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:17,840
Speaker 1: the head coach of Kinisius, what have you got? Like

1590
01:23:17,880 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 1: thirty five forty wins over the two years? So we're

1591
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:24,880
Speaker 1: at thirty nine. Yeah, thirty nine wins. That's pretty good.

1592
01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:27,920
Speaker 1: Did you exceed your expectations? You know, I don't. I

1593
01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:29,599
Speaker 1: don't want to help you are, but I never really

1594
01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:32,280
Speaker 1: thought past okay, just you know, what are we going

1595
01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:34,160
Speaker 1: to do this day? And I just try to keep

1596
01:23:34,240 --> 01:23:38,559
Speaker 1: the goals all short term and you know, long term,

1597
01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:41,080
Speaker 1: striving to get to a point where we could say okay,

1598
01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:43,840
Speaker 1: we're we could be a regular season championship. Now, I

1599
01:23:43,960 --> 01:23:46,200
Speaker 1: never thought it'd be able to do that that quick.

1600
01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:48,519
Speaker 1: But everything we're doing, we're trying to build to that.

1601
01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:50,240
Speaker 1: But I never thought, Okay, we're going to have this

1602
01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:52,000
Speaker 1: many wins this year and then this many wins in

1603
01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:55,240
Speaker 1: next year. I just thought, we gotta get a staff

1604
01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:56,920
Speaker 1: and build this thing every day. Who do you got

1605
01:23:57,000 --> 01:23:59,720
Speaker 1: coming back? And who's coming in this year for the Griffs, Well,

1606
01:23:59,760 --> 01:24:02,400
Speaker 1: we lost Jermaine Crumpton, who had a great year from

1607
01:24:02,520 --> 01:24:06,200
Speaker 1: for conference at all Conference from Niaga Falls co player

1608
01:24:06,200 --> 01:24:10,080
Speaker 1: of the Year. UM, and uh, that's a big loss

1609
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:11,960
Speaker 1: from a leadership standpoint, and he was the only guy

1610
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:14,320
Speaker 1: that was there when we got there. And and then

1611
01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:18,200
Speaker 1: Salvin Planchich is be lost as well. UM. And then

1612
01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:20,680
Speaker 1: we had two kids transfer, you know, DJ Heath and

1613
01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:24,120
Speaker 1: Spencer Foley. So we brought in four new guys um

1614
01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:27,160
Speaker 1: that we think can really help us. It's just a

1615
01:24:27,280 --> 01:24:30,280
Speaker 1: matter And I was listening to Sean how how how

1616
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:32,439
Speaker 1: quickly they can kind of pick up what we're doing,

1617
01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:36,080
Speaker 1: and hopefully it doesn't. You know, we can keep things

1618
01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:39,080
Speaker 1: moving at a pretty good pace. Crumpton, pretty good size

1619
01:24:39,120 --> 01:24:40,800
Speaker 1: coach might be. You know, this is the home of

1620
01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:43,760
Speaker 1: Chris Man hurts Genesia's basketball the Saints tight there. Don't

1621
01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:45,920
Speaker 1: you think he could play? He's a he's a physical force. Right.

1622
01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:49,320
Speaker 1: It's funny. We had Chris and practice and I was

1623
01:24:49,400 --> 01:24:52,599
Speaker 1: asking Chris do you think Jermaine could? And he said

1624
01:24:53,240 --> 01:24:55,880
Speaker 1: he took long enough to answer that question that I

1625
01:24:55,960 --> 01:24:58,760
Speaker 1: knew what the answer was. He didn't want to say no.

1626
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:02,200
Speaker 1: Crump was going to, oh no, no, do it. It's

1627
01:25:02,200 --> 01:25:05,640
Speaker 1: a little bit different temperament, right, there's some hitting going on,

1628
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:09,240
Speaker 1: you know, yea, and especially you know and I asked, Chris,

1629
01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:13,160
Speaker 1: how did you you know? Yeah, right, I know this guy. Yeah, yeah,

1630
01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:16,160
Speaker 1: I never played in Carolina. Yeah, that's right, never played

1631
01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:18,639
Speaker 1: football right until he went to the NFL he came here.

1632
01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 1: That's a heck of a temperament to be able to

1633
01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:23,600
Speaker 1: adjust to. And that, to me is different than like

1634
01:25:23,760 --> 01:25:26,719
Speaker 1: Antonio Gates, who I coached against when he was playing

1635
01:25:26,760 --> 01:25:30,880
Speaker 1: basketball Kent State, because he played football before, you know

1636
01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:32,679
Speaker 1: it was really good at it, but just didn't play

1637
01:25:32,720 --> 01:25:35,720
Speaker 1: it in college. Because Chris didn't really play football, he

1638
01:25:35,880 --> 01:25:38,080
Speaker 1: just kind of moved over and got it. Was like, wow,

1639
01:25:38,240 --> 01:25:41,560
Speaker 1: that's that's that's amazing special. Yeah, especially young man with

1640
01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:44,799
Speaker 1: Reggie Witherspoon, the coach of the Griffs, Kenisia's basketball show McDermot.

1641
01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:46,439
Speaker 1: This year, I got a couple of football questions where

1642
01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:48,760
Speaker 1: he coach at the end of mini camp. How did

1643
01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:51,120
Speaker 1: it go? What's your assessment? What's your kind of overview

1644
01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:53,000
Speaker 1: of what you guys got done here? You know, we

1645
01:25:53,080 --> 01:25:56,439
Speaker 1: were able to um move the needle a little bit

1646
01:25:56,520 --> 01:25:59,599
Speaker 1: this offseason. Uh, you know, certainly we've I would say,

1647
01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:03,360
Speaker 1: toothings of our team overall is new and that's that's

1648
01:26:03,439 --> 01:26:07,240
Speaker 1: somewhat the case every year. We're just in our second

1649
01:26:07,320 --> 01:26:09,080
Speaker 1: year right now, so we're a little bit you know,

1650
01:26:09,200 --> 01:26:11,680
Speaker 1: still wet behind the ears in terms of our our

1651
01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:14,360
Speaker 1: time here, in our process here. Um, I'll say what

1652
01:26:14,439 --> 01:26:19,000
Speaker 1: I can't say enough about the effort, the focus, the time,

1653
01:26:19,640 --> 01:26:23,160
Speaker 1: the commitment of our players this offseason to what we've

1654
01:26:23,200 --> 01:26:25,720
Speaker 1: tried to get done. And it really starts with our

1655
01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:30,080
Speaker 1: staff right with everyone in this building. It's been a

1656
01:26:30,160 --> 01:26:33,040
Speaker 1: real team effort since day one when the players came

1657
01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:35,680
Speaker 1: in in March, and we finished it up today and

1658
01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:37,639
Speaker 1: the rookies will be here for a couple more days

1659
01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:40,000
Speaker 1: and then and then they'll go off to where they're

1660
01:26:40,040 --> 01:26:42,400
Speaker 1: heading to this offseason, the attendance was strong, right. I know,

1661
01:26:42,439 --> 01:26:45,240
Speaker 1: these last three days mandatory, you had no holdouts, no

1662
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:48,400
Speaker 1: contract issues. But even before that, it looked like everybody

1663
01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:50,720
Speaker 1: was here almost every day. I didn't take attendance, but

1664
01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:53,120
Speaker 1: it seemed that way, right. No, you're right. We had

1665
01:26:53,240 --> 01:26:55,640
Speaker 1: what I thought was pretty good attendance last season this

1666
01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:58,880
Speaker 1: time of year, and then this year again the needle

1667
01:26:58,960 --> 01:27:01,839
Speaker 1: moved in a positive direction. We had even better attendants

1668
01:27:01,920 --> 01:27:04,439
Speaker 1: this year. So credit to the players. Also credit to

1669
01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:08,360
Speaker 1: the player driven leadership, in fact, by holding people accountable,

1670
01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:11,200
Speaker 1: players wanting to be here, the culture that we've been

1671
01:27:11,240 --> 01:27:14,680
Speaker 1: able to build to this point, the great facility we

1672
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:17,920
Speaker 1: have here, the energy around Western New York, and you

1673
01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:20,880
Speaker 1: experience it, I experience it. This is a great place

1674
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:23,760
Speaker 1: to live, and the people that we're bringing here want

1675
01:27:23,800 --> 01:27:25,840
Speaker 1: to be here, and it's an exciting time to be

1676
01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:28,200
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Coach Sean, you've been asked a lot about

1677
01:27:28,240 --> 01:27:30,960
Speaker 1: your quarterback picture already this spring, and you will be

1678
01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:33,280
Speaker 1: when six weeks when you get to training camp. Where

1679
01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:35,519
Speaker 1: does it stand right now? At depth chart, rep chart,

1680
01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:37,200
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. How do you see

1681
01:27:37,240 --> 01:27:39,280
Speaker 1: those three, how they how they worked? Through the spring

1682
01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:41,479
Speaker 1: and what do you anticipate when you get to camp. Yeah,

1683
01:27:41,479 --> 01:27:44,599
Speaker 1: all three, all three young men have worked extremely hard.

1684
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:49,680
Speaker 1: They're active learners, and they're really excited to grow, and

1685
01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:54,000
Speaker 1: they love to take coaching their leaders in their own

1686
01:27:54,240 --> 01:27:58,519
Speaker 1: respective ways. You know, as I've said before, AJ and

1687
01:27:58,600 --> 01:28:01,200
Speaker 1: Nate are working with the ones and Josh is working

1688
01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:04,200
Speaker 1: with the threes. Josh did work someone with the ones

1689
01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:07,599
Speaker 1: this past week. We'll continue to do that periodically through

1690
01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:11,280
Speaker 1: training camp. So and we're just gonna stick with the

1691
01:28:11,360 --> 01:28:13,800
Speaker 1: plan and adjust it where and when need be. But

1692
01:28:14,760 --> 01:28:16,920
Speaker 1: I've been pleased with the with the work that they've

1693
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:19,040
Speaker 1: put into this point. I don't expect you to lay

1694
01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:20,439
Speaker 1: it out for us, but it sounds like, and I

1695
01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:22,400
Speaker 1: think you've said you do have a plan right for

1696
01:28:22,479 --> 01:28:24,320
Speaker 1: the reps a quarterback, what you're gonna what you've done

1697
01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:25,800
Speaker 1: so far, and what you're gonna do in this summer

1698
01:28:25,880 --> 01:28:27,640
Speaker 1: at camp. We do have a plant. Would you like

1699
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:31,840
Speaker 1: to lay it out? You need any audio visually? No,

1700
01:28:31,960 --> 01:28:33,960
Speaker 1: but I mean there's you have something in mind. How

1701
01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:35,400
Speaker 1: much work you want to get these games? We do?

1702
01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:39,120
Speaker 1: We do? And uh, you know, really from a REP standpoint,

1703
01:28:39,160 --> 01:28:43,080
Speaker 1: we've been able to get as close to even as

1704
01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:46,320
Speaker 1: as you can um this time of year, and so

1705
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:48,280
Speaker 1: you know, we'll just we'll take it one day at

1706
01:28:48,280 --> 01:28:52,080
Speaker 1: a time. We have a plan and an outline going

1707
01:28:52,200 --> 01:28:55,000
Speaker 1: forward that but you got to remain flexible. And that's

1708
01:28:55,040 --> 01:28:57,160
Speaker 1: not only the case a quarterback, but every position and

1709
01:28:57,600 --> 01:29:00,080
Speaker 1: coach knows this that things change from one day to

1710
01:29:00,160 --> 01:29:02,720
Speaker 1: the next and we due to injury, due to other

1711
01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:05,640
Speaker 1: things that happen and um, and so we just have

1712
01:29:05,760 --> 01:29:08,240
Speaker 1: to stay fluid and positive at the same time with

1713
01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:12,280
Speaker 1: great energy. Josh Allen first round pick, seventh overall. There

1714
01:29:12,320 --> 01:29:14,120
Speaker 1: will always be attention on a guy that comes in

1715
01:29:14,360 --> 01:29:16,599
Speaker 1: with that in his background, and and I wonder if

1716
01:29:16,640 --> 01:29:18,400
Speaker 1: you feel the well, I don't know if pressure is

1717
01:29:18,439 --> 01:29:21,639
Speaker 1: the right word, but just like a you know, a feeling.

1718
01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:23,320
Speaker 1: We gotta get this guy in at some point, we

1719
01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:26,120
Speaker 1: gotta get him to play because he is seventh overall. Pick. Well,

1720
01:29:26,120 --> 01:29:27,960
Speaker 1: I think there's some truth to that, right. I mean,

1721
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:29,840
Speaker 1: you pick a player in the first round, and again

1722
01:29:29,960 --> 01:29:33,559
Speaker 1: regardless of position, and you expect fans expect that player

1723
01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:35,679
Speaker 1: to play at some point, and that's that's the case.

1724
01:29:35,760 --> 01:29:37,639
Speaker 1: Josh is going to play at some point, whether that's

1725
01:29:37,680 --> 01:29:40,679
Speaker 1: this year or next year remains to be seen. Um.

1726
01:29:41,200 --> 01:29:42,960
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, it's all about putting

1727
01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:46,040
Speaker 1: players in a position to be successful when they're ready. Um,

1728
01:29:46,280 --> 01:29:48,439
Speaker 1: you know they'll go into the lineup and earning it

1729
01:29:48,520 --> 01:29:51,479
Speaker 1: at the same time. So, UM, it's the important part

1730
01:29:51,560 --> 01:29:55,200
Speaker 1: right now is we establish a good foundation of fundamentals,

1731
01:29:55,720 --> 01:29:59,240
Speaker 1: habits on and off the field, and that he is

1732
01:29:59,280 --> 01:30:02,840
Speaker 1: comfortable with each step in the process as we move forward. Hey,

1733
01:30:02,920 --> 01:30:04,840
Speaker 1: let me just a couple other football questions for you.

1734
01:30:04,880 --> 01:30:08,040
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, Reggie witherspoons with us as well. Coach McDermott, Um,

1735
01:30:09,240 --> 01:30:11,519
Speaker 1: Steve Tasher and I have talked about brown Chris Browning

1736
01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:14,679
Speaker 1: and I were talking about earlier today at the receiver spot.

1737
01:30:14,720 --> 01:30:17,320
Speaker 1: It appears right now outside looking in you've got Calvin,

1738
01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:20,800
Speaker 1: Benjamin and some untested guys, some unproven guys. Do you

1739
01:30:20,840 --> 01:30:22,559
Speaker 1: look at it differently? Do you see it differently when

1740
01:30:22,560 --> 01:30:25,040
Speaker 1: you look at that group maybe behind Calvin, I do

1741
01:30:25,840 --> 01:30:27,920
Speaker 1: you know somewhat differently? You know, we do have Calvin

1742
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:30,400
Speaker 1: and he's the one household name that we have. The

1743
01:30:30,520 --> 01:30:33,240
Speaker 1: other guys are not as big of household names at

1744
01:30:33,280 --> 01:30:35,040
Speaker 1: this point in time. But we had a lot of

1745
01:30:35,080 --> 01:30:37,000
Speaker 1: guys on our team last year that I would say

1746
01:30:37,040 --> 01:30:40,479
Speaker 1: weren't weren't household names necessarily either, And so this offers

1747
01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:43,200
Speaker 1: a great opportunity to these young men to come in,

1748
01:30:43,680 --> 01:30:46,759
Speaker 1: have a strong training camp, and put their best foot

1749
01:30:46,800 --> 01:30:50,760
Speaker 1: forward and help our football team win games this upcoming season.

1750
01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:52,160
Speaker 1: There's a rookie I want to ask you about. He

1751
01:30:52,240 --> 01:30:55,680
Speaker 1: was on our show yesterday, Tremaine Edmonds. Who I mean.

1752
01:30:55,760 --> 01:30:57,519
Speaker 1: I said to him, you got a lot on your plate,

1753
01:30:57,600 --> 01:30:59,400
Speaker 1: and he just seems to accept it, right, I mean,

1754
01:30:59,479 --> 01:31:01,720
Speaker 1: everything you've asked him to do, he seems good with it.

1755
01:31:01,760 --> 01:31:03,920
Speaker 1: He doesn't seem overwhelmed at all. What do you see

1756
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:09,639
Speaker 1: from him? Well, to this point, he's he's veteran beyond

1757
01:31:09,720 --> 01:31:12,719
Speaker 1: his years, if that makes sense for a rookie player.

1758
01:31:13,880 --> 01:31:17,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes I look out there and I forget for a

1759
01:31:17,479 --> 01:31:20,880
Speaker 1: moment that here's a rookie leading our defense, in the

1760
01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:24,240
Speaker 1: middle of our defense as a primary signal caller, somewhat

1761
01:31:24,280 --> 01:31:27,120
Speaker 1: like running point. Yeah. I don't pretend to know a

1762
01:31:27,160 --> 01:31:29,600
Speaker 1: whole lot about hoops. You got that one, right, But

1763
01:31:29,680 --> 01:31:32,080
Speaker 1: it's important that he can orchestrate the defense and line

1764
01:31:32,120 --> 01:31:34,960
Speaker 1: people up and make the proper checks and then also

1765
01:31:35,640 --> 01:31:38,519
Speaker 1: make his own plays, and he can't forget about that too,

1766
01:31:38,600 --> 01:31:40,360
Speaker 1: because I think I could line people up, but I'm

1767
01:31:40,400 --> 01:31:42,519
Speaker 1: not sure. I'm not sure I could make the plays

1768
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:44,800
Speaker 1: I need to make. So he's off to a great start.

1769
01:31:44,880 --> 01:31:47,599
Speaker 1: Coach Babbitt has done has done a phenomenal job, Coach

1770
01:31:47,640 --> 01:31:51,240
Speaker 1: Frazier and and that process will continue with tremendous offseason.

1771
01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:53,560
Speaker 1: Reggie Sean is right your point guard now two years in.

1772
01:31:54,640 --> 01:31:57,040
Speaker 1: He came in and started right away pretty much right, Yeah,

1773
01:31:57,120 --> 01:31:59,880
Speaker 1: give me his name again, John, Yes, Malik, He's my favorite.

1774
01:32:00,200 --> 01:32:04,760
Speaker 1: And maybe some similarities in that Malik has an older

1775
01:32:04,800 --> 01:32:10,360
Speaker 1: brother who started that Indiana and has a father who coached,

1776
01:32:11,080 --> 01:32:13,400
Speaker 1: who coaches now, And so I think he has a

1777
01:32:13,560 --> 01:32:17,360
Speaker 1: feel and an instinct that accelerates his development a little bit.

1778
01:32:17,760 --> 01:32:19,800
Speaker 1: And I was listening to you talking about the quarterbacks too.

1779
01:32:20,880 --> 01:32:23,280
Speaker 1: You know you have so you have two guys that

1780
01:32:23,360 --> 01:32:25,720
Speaker 1: are with you for the first time, right, and you

1781
01:32:25,800 --> 01:32:28,080
Speaker 1: have one guy that's it's going into just his second

1782
01:32:28,160 --> 01:32:30,960
Speaker 1: year with you. And so when you're going through that process,

1783
01:32:31,040 --> 01:32:32,840
Speaker 1: you're trying to figure out, let me see what is

1784
01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:37,280
Speaker 1: he capable of? Now? How much can we give him?

1785
01:32:37,920 --> 01:32:40,840
Speaker 1: He's trying to figure out what do they expect of me?

1786
01:32:41,760 --> 01:32:44,759
Speaker 1: And that it takes a while before you can say, okay,

1787
01:32:44,800 --> 01:32:47,240
Speaker 1: well this guy is here, you know, because every day

1788
01:32:47,280 --> 01:32:49,719
Speaker 1: you got to evaluate that and assess that to figure okay,

1789
01:32:49,760 --> 01:32:51,720
Speaker 1: now he can handle this. Can we give him a

1790
01:32:51,720 --> 01:32:53,559
Speaker 1: little bit more? Is he ready for that? You give

1791
01:32:53,640 --> 01:32:55,720
Speaker 1: him too much? Right? And now you got confusion. It

1792
01:32:55,800 --> 01:32:57,719
Speaker 1: looks like he's not good. Well, he's just not ready.

1793
01:32:58,120 --> 01:33:02,120
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean he's not good, right, I got you, Hey, Sean,

1794
01:33:02,439 --> 01:33:04,080
Speaker 1: two more things I want to ask you about this.

1795
01:33:04,640 --> 01:33:07,000
Speaker 1: We're moving into the six week period before training camp,

1796
01:33:07,360 --> 01:33:09,920
Speaker 1: where it's been said before. I saw somebody mentioned it today,

1797
01:33:10,040 --> 01:33:12,639
Speaker 1: some coach in the NFL. It's a little bit unsettling

1798
01:33:12,800 --> 01:33:15,519
Speaker 1: when players get away from the complex go back home,

1799
01:33:15,880 --> 01:33:17,720
Speaker 1: many of them, most of them, and you got to

1800
01:33:18,240 --> 01:33:19,920
Speaker 1: you gotta wonder, are they going to behave Are they

1801
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:21,439
Speaker 1: going to continue to work out? Are they going to

1802
01:33:21,520 --> 01:33:23,519
Speaker 1: continue on the on the path you've tried to set

1803
01:33:23,560 --> 01:33:25,920
Speaker 1: them onto. You you must discuss that with your team

1804
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:28,799
Speaker 1: right at length, at at length, and probably at nauseam

1805
01:33:28,880 --> 01:33:32,080
Speaker 1: for them already discussion. What do you tell I'm always

1806
01:33:32,120 --> 01:33:36,000
Speaker 1: concerned about our players, um all the time. Let alone

1807
01:33:36,080 --> 01:33:38,280
Speaker 1: for sure when they're not in the building. And the

1808
01:33:38,400 --> 01:33:42,680
Speaker 1: further way they get from us, the more concerned I get,

1809
01:33:42,800 --> 01:33:46,719
Speaker 1: just because life happens. And when you have, as coach mentioned,

1810
01:33:46,840 --> 01:33:52,320
Speaker 1: ninety eight nine ninety players, Um, just statistically, you know,

1811
01:33:52,400 --> 01:33:55,360
Speaker 1: there's a better chance that something could happen. Life could happen.

1812
01:33:55,400 --> 01:33:57,800
Speaker 1: And so these are young men that are trying to

1813
01:33:57,920 --> 01:34:01,360
Speaker 1: make the right decisions. And so we could just continue

1814
01:34:01,360 --> 01:34:03,240
Speaker 1: to hope and pray that those that they make the

1815
01:34:03,360 --> 01:34:07,360
Speaker 1: right decisions this time of year, um specifically, but all

1816
01:34:07,479 --> 01:34:11,360
Speaker 1: year and and so uh, you know that's that's a

1817
01:34:11,439 --> 01:34:13,600
Speaker 1: big point of emphasis for us as we start to

1818
01:34:13,800 --> 01:34:15,599
Speaker 1: go our separate ways for a few weeks here. As

1819
01:34:15,600 --> 01:34:18,080
Speaker 1: you mentioned John and and um, you know, every year

1820
01:34:18,160 --> 01:34:20,880
Speaker 1: it comes up and you see something that happens, and

1821
01:34:21,479 --> 01:34:25,439
Speaker 1: you know, guy Willing, nothing happens this year, but just

1822
01:34:25,680 --> 01:34:27,800
Speaker 1: over the course of history that this is the time

1823
01:34:27,840 --> 01:34:30,160
Speaker 1: of year, one of the times of years, that of

1824
01:34:30,280 --> 01:34:32,360
Speaker 1: the year that things come up. Sean, let me ask

1825
01:34:32,400 --> 01:34:34,800
Speaker 1: you one a little bit off the wall question. You're

1826
01:34:34,800 --> 01:34:38,320
Speaker 1: a Philadelphia native sports fan, I'm sure in Philadelphia, and

1827
01:34:38,439 --> 01:34:41,000
Speaker 1: a guy who was a long time sportscaster in Philadelphia.

1828
01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:43,040
Speaker 1: Al Meltzer. You know that name, I do. He passed away.

1829
01:34:43,120 --> 01:34:45,599
Speaker 1: Did you see that? And he did Bills football? Reggie

1830
01:34:45,640 --> 01:34:47,760
Speaker 1: probably remembers he did like six years of Bills play

1831
01:34:47,840 --> 01:34:51,240
Speaker 1: by play in between Van Right. What do you remember

1832
01:34:51,280 --> 01:34:53,160
Speaker 1: about him growing up in Philly? Oh, I mean he

1833
01:34:53,320 --> 01:34:55,679

1834
01:34:55,720 --> 01:34:59,040
Speaker 1: of of sports in Philadelphia. Yeah, and I grew up.

1835
01:34:59,080 --> 01:35:01,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you'll us and you know, I'm sure we

1836
01:35:01,760 --> 01:35:06,680
Speaker 1: all can relate to a voice, a familiar voice that

1837
01:35:06,880 --> 01:35:08,920
Speaker 1: you may not see the face, but you hear the

1838
01:35:09,040 --> 01:35:11,720
Speaker 1: voice on the radio or the TV's on in the

1839
01:35:11,800 --> 01:35:13,960
Speaker 1: other room, and you hear the voice, and you can

01:35:14,160 --> 01:35:17,080
Speaker 1: you can associate it to to who right, and you

1841
01:35:17,200 --> 01:35:19,439
Speaker 1: grow up around those voices. And he's one of the

1842
01:35:19,520 --> 01:35:21,880
Speaker 1: ones I grew up around in Philadelphia. It's six years

1914
01:38:56,120 --> 01:38:58,680
Speaker 1: We are joined in studio by our friend Lorenzo Alexander,

1915
01:38:58,960 --> 01:39:01,600
Speaker 1: just off the field from any camp, going into this

1916
01:39:01,680 --> 01:39:04,320
Speaker 1: mini camp, and I know, going into the OTAs even you,

1917
01:39:04,680 --> 01:39:07,040
Speaker 1: because you're a veteran, I get this. You don't think

1918
01:39:07,080 --> 01:39:09,639
Speaker 1: this amounts too much. I know it's working, you're putting

1919
01:39:09,680 --> 01:39:11,200
Speaker 1: in work, But I don't think I ever said that.

1920
01:39:11,280 --> 01:39:14,519
Speaker 1: I said it's not real football, that's what you said. Yeah,

1921
01:39:14,560 --> 01:39:18,560
Speaker 1: but you can still build a great foundation through fundamental technique,

1922
01:39:18,880 --> 01:39:22,200
Speaker 1: better understanding the scheme, chemistry as far as communication with

1923
01:39:22,320 --> 01:39:25,160
Speaker 1: other players, and really start seeing some of the young guys,

1924
01:39:25,240 --> 01:39:29,160
Speaker 1: you know how well they're grasping the defense being on

1925
01:39:29,240 --> 01:39:31,960
Speaker 1: another level as well as they transition from college to

1926
01:39:32,040 --> 01:39:34,519
Speaker 1: the pros. You can do all that. Did the Buffalo

1927
01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:37,360
Speaker 1: Bills accomplish that? Yeah, we did, I think a good

1928
01:39:37,439 --> 01:39:41,200
Speaker 1: job of moving in that direction. You know, I think

1929
01:39:41,240 --> 01:39:43,360
Speaker 1: some guys you know, obviously had some setbacks. You know,

1930
01:39:43,520 --> 01:39:45,160
Speaker 1: we mentioned a guy like a Zay Jones that you

1931
01:39:45,200 --> 01:39:47,639
Speaker 1: would have loved to have out there. But I think overall,

1932
01:39:47,720 --> 01:39:50,080
Speaker 1: when I look at Tremaine, obviously in my room, when

1933
01:39:50,120 --> 01:39:52,680
Speaker 1: I look at Josh Allen, those guys got a lot

1934
01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:56,120
Speaker 1: of reps, much needed reps to really start that mastation

1935
01:39:56,280 --> 01:40:01,479
Speaker 1: process of them being accountable to our office and defense

1936
01:40:01,520 --> 01:40:03,840
Speaker 1: and being guys that we look to to help us win.

1937
01:40:03,960 --> 01:40:06,679
Speaker 1: In the twenty and eighteen season render, we had Tremine

1938
01:40:06,800 --> 01:40:08,840
Speaker 1: on the Show of Us yesterday. Stevens here he essay

1939
01:40:08,880 --> 01:40:11,320
Speaker 1: with Tremine, and look, I know he's got to be

1940
01:40:11,439 --> 01:40:14,639
Speaker 1: this way, but he is extremely serious and focused. And yeah,

1941
01:40:14,760 --> 01:40:16,160
Speaker 1: chance for him to lighten up. But all they think

1942
01:40:16,200 --> 01:40:17,760
Speaker 1: over the next six weeks, I mean, he has a

1943
01:40:17,840 --> 01:40:19,680
Speaker 1: light aside to him. Like today, we did the thing

1944
01:40:19,800 --> 01:40:23,280
Speaker 1: we um called rookie events, where our rookies get up

1945
01:40:23,320 --> 01:40:26,519
Speaker 1: and give us current events about politics. They give us

1946
01:40:26,560 --> 01:40:28,479
Speaker 1: a couple of real stories and then they give us

1947
01:40:28,479 --> 01:40:33,479
Speaker 1: a couple of riddles. And so he was underprepared, but

1948
01:40:33,600 --> 01:40:35,559
Speaker 1: he had his riddles ready to go, but they were

1949
01:40:35,640 --> 01:40:38,000
Speaker 1: kind of weak, and he'd rattled off like three riddles.

1950
01:40:38,120 --> 01:40:40,479
Speaker 1: Dion got the first two, I got the last one.

1951
01:40:40,600 --> 01:40:42,439
Speaker 1: Like that. Normally takes us a while to think about it.

1952
01:40:42,560 --> 01:40:45,160
Speaker 1: But he had fun with it, you know, laughing. So

1953
01:40:45,439 --> 01:40:48,240
Speaker 1: but when he's in football mode, um, he's serious because

1954
01:40:48,280 --> 01:40:50,360
Speaker 1: he wants to get it right. Um, he wants to

1955
01:40:50,439 --> 01:40:53,600
Speaker 1: be the best at his position because I think he understands,

1956
01:40:54,280 --> 01:40:57,400
Speaker 1: um what it means or the magnitude of what it

1957
01:40:57,479 --> 01:40:59,960
Speaker 1: means to be a first round pick. And he had

1958
01:41:00,120 --> 01:41:01,920
Speaker 1: the ability and to want to to be great, and

1959
01:41:02,200 --> 01:41:03,960
Speaker 1: you know that just comes from being a football family

1960
01:41:03,960 --> 01:41:05,519
Speaker 1: and wanted to play at a high level because he

1961
01:41:05,600 --> 01:41:07,840
Speaker 1: really wants to represent the name on his back. Well,

1962
01:41:07,920 --> 01:41:10,360
Speaker 1: we just tend to. Sean McDermot and coach m talking

1963
01:41:10,400 --> 01:41:13,080
Speaker 1: about tremin Edmond said, kind of an interesting thing. You

1964
01:41:13,640 --> 01:41:15,880
Speaker 1: worry at least you talk about can he do all this?

1965
01:41:16,040 --> 01:41:18,120
Speaker 1: Can he absorb the new defense? Can he pass it on?

1966
01:41:18,200 --> 01:41:21,360
Speaker 1: And everybody call the defenses line people up? Mcderman said, yes,

1967
01:41:21,720 --> 01:41:23,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to do that, but I also want him

1968
01:41:23,280 --> 01:41:26,040
Speaker 1: to play well. Yeah, him run around the field tackles

1969
01:41:26,080 --> 01:41:28,200
Speaker 1: and playing well. Yeah, And I think that's our job

1970
01:41:28,280 --> 01:41:30,000
Speaker 1: as well as the people around him. You know, you

1971
01:41:30,160 --> 01:41:33,080
Speaker 1: think about Michael JP, myself, Kyle. Those are a lot

1972
01:41:33,120 --> 01:41:35,120
Speaker 1: of veterans around him that know the defense where they

1973
01:41:35,160 --> 01:41:37,200
Speaker 1: don't necessarily have to rely on him to make every

1974
01:41:37,280 --> 01:41:40,280
Speaker 1: single call will actually help him as well, and as

1975
01:41:40,360 --> 01:41:42,840
Speaker 1: he matures and grows into what it means to really

1976
01:41:42,880 --> 01:41:46,360
Speaker 1: be a mic lineback at this level, we can wait

1977
01:41:46,400 --> 01:41:47,960
Speaker 1: on that because we have other guys around him. But

1978
01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:49,559
Speaker 1: he's going to be a guy out there running around

1979
01:41:49,640 --> 01:41:51,880
Speaker 1: hitting and I think he's don't even take another step

1980
01:41:51,920 --> 01:41:53,519
Speaker 1: once we get the pads on and you can really

1981
01:41:53,520 --> 01:41:56,000
Speaker 1: see his athleticism and his physicality that he brings to

1982
01:41:56,080 --> 01:41:58,439
Speaker 1: the game. Lorengo Alexander in studio with us for the

1983
01:41:58,520 --> 01:42:00,360
Speaker 1: next couple of minutes. If he have comments questions for

1984
01:42:00,439 --> 01:42:03,320
Speaker 1: Lorenzo about the end of minicamp, about where the bills stand,

1985
01:42:03,400 --> 01:42:05,519
Speaker 1: give us a call eight oh three five fifty and

1986
01:42:05,600 --> 01:42:08,960
Speaker 1: toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

1987
01:42:09,240 --> 01:42:11,479
Speaker 1: I'm as I read the story in the updated minute

1988
01:42:11,479 --> 01:42:14,800
Speaker 1: ago about Antonio Gates age thirty eight. He turns thirty

1989
01:42:14,840 --> 01:42:17,640
Speaker 1: eight and four days. You know where I'm going with this.

1990
01:42:17,920 --> 01:42:20,200
Speaker 1: Can he play at thirty eight years old. Why not?

1991
01:42:20,640 --> 01:42:23,920
Speaker 1: Because it's a couple of guys across the league that

1992
01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:26,200
Speaker 1: just cut from a different cloth and he has the

1993
01:42:26,280 --> 01:42:28,880
Speaker 1: ability to do it. It's all about his mentality, you know,

1994
01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:32,720
Speaker 1: does he still enjoy the process of getting ready? You know,

1995
01:42:32,800 --> 01:42:35,080
Speaker 1: the week leading up that's where most events kind of

1996
01:42:35,120 --> 01:42:37,840
Speaker 1: fall short of. And um, you know, obviously last yeday,

1997
01:42:37,840 --> 01:42:39,639
Speaker 1: I had a new head coach and you know, going

1998
01:42:39,680 --> 01:42:42,800
Speaker 1: through that transition process. But the only reason they probably

1999
01:42:42,840 --> 01:42:45,479
Speaker 1: reaching out is because number seventeen is saying, hey, I

2000
01:42:45,560 --> 01:42:48,240
Speaker 1: need my guy back, my safety blanket, a guy that's

2001
01:42:48,240 --> 01:42:50,479
Speaker 1: gonna make plays. Obviously they got Keenan Allen as well

2002
01:42:50,479 --> 01:42:52,879
Speaker 1: out there, but it's not like having a big athletic

2003
01:42:52,960 --> 01:42:55,120
Speaker 1: tight end that can get you out of some tough downs.

2004
01:42:55,160 --> 01:42:57,519
Speaker 1: You've done against Gates Hunt several times I would think, Yeah,

2005
01:42:57,520 --> 01:43:00,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just athletic, gets into space very well. Well,

2006
01:43:00,120 --> 01:43:02,200
Speaker 1: he's not the greatest blocker, but that's not what they

2007
01:43:02,240 --> 01:43:03,960
Speaker 1: want him on the field for. He's able to stretch

2008
01:43:04,000 --> 01:43:06,600
Speaker 1: the field, find holes in the defense. He boxes you

2009
01:43:06,640 --> 01:43:08,920
Speaker 1: out because he's a former basketball player, uses his body

2010
01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:11,320
Speaker 1: very well and has sure hands. They're not gonna ask

2011
01:43:11,400 --> 01:43:14,160
Speaker 1: him to stretch the fit. I don't think a guy

2012
01:43:14,320 --> 01:43:18,080
Speaker 1: like Jason Witt ever stretched the field like Gays dead,

2013
01:43:18,200 --> 01:43:20,200
Speaker 1: but he can still play. Gays can play more of

2014
01:43:20,240 --> 01:43:23,000
Speaker 1: a game like Witton, you know, the possession type, pushing off,

2015
01:43:23,080 --> 01:43:26,479
Speaker 1: getting in the holes, protecting the ball, extending the chains,

2016
01:43:26,560 --> 01:43:28,479
Speaker 1: and then be a bit time threat down in the

2017
01:43:28,520 --> 01:43:30,479
Speaker 1: red zone. On the topic, it tight ends Lorenzo and

2018
01:43:30,520 --> 01:43:32,000
Speaker 1: this came up on our show earlier in the week.

2019
01:43:32,040 --> 01:43:35,479
Speaker 1: Stephen I got into a little discussion about this, and

2020
01:43:35,520 --> 01:43:37,400
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna ask you who's better, but is there

2021
01:43:37,439 --> 01:43:40,600
Speaker 1: really a comparison to be made between like Rob Grenkowski,

2022
01:43:40,680 --> 01:43:43,640
Speaker 1: a healthy Rob Gronkowski and Travis Kelsey the Chiefs. I mean,

2023
01:43:43,680 --> 01:43:45,840
Speaker 1: it's Kelsey even in that league. What do you think

2024
01:43:46,400 --> 01:43:49,080
Speaker 1: the physicality part is what separates it too. I mean,

2025
01:43:49,120 --> 01:43:51,680
Speaker 1: I think they're both great pass catchers, but when you

2026
01:43:51,760 --> 01:43:56,120
Speaker 1: talk about run blocking, ground can take it to another level.

2027
01:43:56,200 --> 01:43:58,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's a handful if you don't show

2028
01:43:58,479 --> 01:44:00,519
Speaker 1: up your pads. I mean we all all us remember

2029
01:44:00,600 --> 01:44:02,280
Speaker 1: that that clip where he ran a guy out of

2030
01:44:02,280 --> 01:44:04,960
Speaker 1: the back of the end zone. Kelsey doesn't not that

2031
01:44:05,040 --> 01:44:06,680
Speaker 1: he can't, he doesn't just have that in and that's

2032
01:44:06,720 --> 01:44:08,479
Speaker 1: not his game at all. I think Rock is just

2033
01:44:08,560 --> 01:44:11,479
Speaker 1: a great combination of being a great pass casher and

2034
01:44:11,640 --> 01:44:14,000
Speaker 1: will put his nose in and get physical with you

2035
01:44:14,080 --> 01:44:16,400
Speaker 1: as well. Let's talk a little bit about our Twitter

2036
01:44:16,479 --> 01:44:19,400
Speaker 1: poll today. You may not like this, Lorenzo, but I

2037
01:44:19,479 --> 01:44:21,439
Speaker 1: want to get your take on it anyway. Okay, it

2038
01:44:21,560 --> 01:44:23,200
Speaker 1: deals with look and you gotta think of it in

2039
01:44:23,240 --> 01:44:25,160
Speaker 1: these terms. We are at a kind of a mile

2040
01:44:25,240 --> 01:44:28,080
Speaker 1: post anyway of the offseason, with you know, mini camp

2041
01:44:28,240 --> 01:44:31,960
Speaker 1: ending today. People depart, they always do around the NFL.

2042
01:44:32,240 --> 01:44:34,599
Speaker 1: The guys who have departed have for the most part

2043
01:44:34,720 --> 01:44:36,640
Speaker 1: been replaced. We have a good sense of who the

2044
01:44:36,720 --> 01:44:39,320
Speaker 1: replacements are, all right, So that's the prelude to this.

2045
01:44:39,400 --> 01:44:42,240
Speaker 1: This the setup. So the question, I know this is

2046
01:44:42,280 --> 01:44:43,680
Speaker 1: part of the NFL. While would I be upset with

2047
01:44:43,760 --> 01:44:47,080
Speaker 1: this question, well, because I don't want you guys my teammates. No.

2048
01:44:47,840 --> 01:44:50,280
Speaker 1: Who's the biggest offseason loss for the Buffalo Bills? What

2049
01:44:50,520 --> 01:44:53,960
Speaker 1: was was it? The offensive lineman Wouldn't Incognito? Was it

2050
01:44:54,120 --> 01:44:57,200
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor? Was it linebacker Preston Round somebody else? So

2051
01:44:57,280 --> 01:44:59,519
Speaker 1: you can see on the Twitter poll, eighty eight percent

2052
01:44:59,600 --> 01:45:01,719
Speaker 1: of our spond and say, well, let's see offensive lineman

2053
01:45:01,760 --> 01:45:04,160
Speaker 1: would and in coongito And look, there are answers for

2054
01:45:04,240 --> 01:45:06,519
Speaker 1: each one of those as far as they're twenty eighteen replacements.

2055
01:45:06,600 --> 01:45:08,160
Speaker 1: But you want to weigh in on that at all.

2056
01:45:08,200 --> 01:45:10,160
Speaker 1: Who do you think you'll miss the most? Who will

2057
01:45:10,200 --> 01:45:12,559
Speaker 1: I miss the most? Who are the Bills miss the most? Oh?

2058
01:45:12,800 --> 01:45:16,360
Speaker 1: I mean, because that's two different questions. Um, I mean

2059
01:45:16,439 --> 01:45:18,960
Speaker 1: that wouldn't incognito combination. I mean's just hard. I mean

2060
01:45:19,000 --> 01:45:21,439
Speaker 1: when they have you know, they're protecting the guy that's

2061
01:45:21,479 --> 01:45:24,759
Speaker 1: throwing the ball and their communication, their leadership, the attitude

2062
01:45:24,760 --> 01:45:26,240
Speaker 1: that they brought to the game. Not that we don't

2063
01:45:26,240 --> 01:45:27,840
Speaker 1: have guys that can fill in that role, it's just

2064
01:45:27,920 --> 01:45:29,519
Speaker 1: when you have veterans you can just trust and know

2065
01:45:29,520 --> 01:45:31,080
Speaker 1: what you're gonna get out of them every single down,

2066
01:45:31,439 --> 01:45:33,280
Speaker 1: and you know they can get into guys' faces and

2067
01:45:33,360 --> 01:45:35,519
Speaker 1: pick them up. I think we're kind of still waiting

2068
01:45:35,560 --> 01:45:37,599
Speaker 1: on to see who's going to kind of come out

2069
01:45:37,680 --> 01:45:39,639
Speaker 1: of that group in the offensive line room. And maybe

2070
01:45:39,640 --> 01:45:42,080
Speaker 1: they're already doing it, you know, within the old line room,

2071
01:45:42,120 --> 01:45:43,680
Speaker 1: but I haven't really been able to seeing a guy

2072
01:45:43,720 --> 01:45:45,560
Speaker 1: just really step up and just take charge. And like,

2073
01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:47,920
Speaker 1: bring the guys and we're gonna play at this level.

2074
01:45:48,040 --> 01:45:50,599
Speaker 1: So that's another thing, and that takes time. And you'll

2075
01:45:50,600 --> 01:45:53,000
Speaker 1: see since we have so many new guys, guys you know,

2076
01:45:53,120 --> 01:45:55,600
Speaker 1: kind of getting rebacking certain into the thing. We have

2077
01:45:55,680 --> 01:45:58,240
Speaker 1: Russell Bodin as here as well as a veteran UM.

2078
01:45:58,320 --> 01:45:59,960
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see who kind of really

2079
01:46:00,040 --> 01:46:03,080
Speaker 1: talks above. You're talking leadership most Yeah, this leadership, I

2080
01:46:03,120 --> 01:46:04,560
Speaker 1: mean that's what I mean, that's what he Wood and

2081
01:46:04,640 --> 01:46:06,120
Speaker 1: Richie brought. I mean he'll get in your face and

2082
01:46:06,120 --> 01:46:08,040
Speaker 1: I mean vocal leaders. So we have guys that lead

2083
01:46:08,080 --> 01:46:10,840
Speaker 1: by example, that are pros, that do everything the right way.

2084
01:46:10,880 --> 01:46:12,640
Speaker 1: But sometimes you need a guy that say, hey, hey

2085
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:16,479
Speaker 1: let's come together. That's not good enough, and so we

2086
01:46:16,560 --> 01:46:19,040
Speaker 1: need somebody to step up in that way to really

2087
01:46:19,120 --> 01:46:22,360
Speaker 1: take our offensive line to another level. And um, and

2088
01:46:22,479 --> 01:46:24,320
Speaker 1: that's in every single position group, you got to have

2089
01:46:24,400 --> 01:46:26,439
Speaker 1: somebody like that. It was Richie really good at that role.

2090
01:46:27,920 --> 01:46:29,880
Speaker 1: He had his own way about going about doing it

2091
01:46:29,960 --> 01:46:32,320
Speaker 1: in his own Richie way. He would let you know

2092
01:46:32,400 --> 01:46:34,880
Speaker 1: and and and that's good because it was genuine. You

2093
01:46:35,000 --> 01:46:37,320
Speaker 1: understood where he was coming from and he was in

2094
01:46:37,360 --> 01:46:39,160
Speaker 1: your face about it, and he would was the same way.

2095
01:46:39,600 --> 01:46:42,160
Speaker 1: So that would be your choices who might be missed

2096
01:46:42,240 --> 01:46:44,679
Speaker 1: the most. That group wouldn't Incognato. Yeah, I mean because

2097
01:46:44,680 --> 01:46:46,600
Speaker 1: everything runs through the trenches. I mean, as much as

2098
01:46:46,640 --> 01:46:49,280
Speaker 1: we like to see you know, the guys pretty, you know, running,

2099
01:46:49,320 --> 01:46:52,760
Speaker 1: shady running big time and Kelvin catching balls, and you know,

2100
01:46:53,000 --> 01:46:55,680
Speaker 1: guys on the outside doing things, the game is won

2101
01:46:55,720 --> 01:46:57,519
Speaker 1: and lost in the trenches. They open up the holes,

2102
01:46:57,560 --> 01:46:59,679
Speaker 1: they protect your quarterback. If you don't have a solid

2103
01:46:59,720 --> 01:47:01,920
Speaker 1: group there and a group that's going to play above

2104
01:47:02,680 --> 01:47:06,080
Speaker 1: their individual parts and play great collectively, you're gonna have

2105
01:47:06,160 --> 01:47:08,439
Speaker 1: a long season because it is an offensive driven league

2106
01:47:08,439 --> 01:47:10,080
Speaker 1: and Deefens is going to get after you. We got

2107
01:47:10,120 --> 01:47:12,519
Speaker 1: a couple of thoughts on this from phone calls. John

2108
01:47:12,640 --> 01:47:14,960
Speaker 1: calling from Syracuse. John, you're in the here with me

2109
01:47:15,040 --> 01:47:18,880
Speaker 1: and Lorenzo Alexander, go ahead, what's on your mind? Thanks

2110
01:47:18,920 --> 01:47:24,120
Speaker 1: for taking my call for us number one. I don't

2111
01:47:24,160 --> 01:47:27,599
Speaker 1: have anything to add. I would also say losing Richie

2112
01:47:27,680 --> 01:47:31,840
Speaker 1: and Eric Wood is certainly the number one loss that

2113
01:47:31,960 --> 01:47:37,080
Speaker 1: we had. Um and uh, Lorenzo, that was a nice

2114
01:47:37,120 --> 01:47:40,120
Speaker 1: tackle you made on Leonard Fournette there in the playoff.

2115
01:47:40,240 --> 01:47:44,200
Speaker 1: Game on the goal line, I like you kind of

2116
01:47:44,320 --> 01:47:48,120
Speaker 1: lasted him and brought him right down. So, um, you

2117
01:47:48,200 --> 01:47:51,000
Speaker 1: played a great game in that game. Um Bill's fans

2118
01:47:51,080 --> 01:47:54,760
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thank you. Yeah, And I had a great

2119
01:47:54,800 --> 01:47:56,160
Speaker 1: time out there. You know, you just never know what

2120
01:47:56,240 --> 01:47:58,000
Speaker 1: playoff game is going to come around. And I just

2121
01:47:58,080 --> 01:48:00,160
Speaker 1: want to continue to play at a high level A

2122
01:48:00,200 --> 01:48:02,479
Speaker 1: year older now, but be able to finish the season

2123
01:48:02,560 --> 01:48:04,560
Speaker 1: like that, you can, I can kind of take some

2124
01:48:04,640 --> 01:48:06,640
Speaker 1: of that juice and bring it over here and you know,

2125
01:48:06,760 --> 01:48:09,160
Speaker 1: still show guys and people in general that I can

2126
01:48:09,160 --> 01:48:11,000
Speaker 1: still play at a high level even I'm even though

2127
01:48:11,040 --> 01:48:14,400
Speaker 1: I'm thirty five. New season. Last season was great, The

2128
01:48:14,439 --> 01:48:17,519
Speaker 1: playoff appearance was great. Is there any carryover? And I

2129
01:48:17,600 --> 01:48:19,040
Speaker 1: think you just kind of hinted that there is a

2130
01:48:19,120 --> 01:48:22,080
Speaker 1: little bit carryover effect from being a playoff team last

2131
01:48:22,120 --> 01:48:24,040
Speaker 1: year winning nine games and playing in the playoffs. Well,

2132
01:48:24,080 --> 01:48:26,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot of carryover, I mean, And the biggest

2133
01:48:26,160 --> 01:48:28,840
Speaker 1: thing for me carryover is from as far as lessons learned.

2134
01:48:29,120 --> 01:48:31,080
Speaker 1: We have a lot of guys that played in that game,

2135
01:48:31,240 --> 01:48:34,439
Speaker 1: especially defensively, where we had some opportunities that we could

2136
01:48:34,479 --> 01:48:37,960
Speaker 1: have capitalized on. So next time that comes we expect

2137
01:48:38,000 --> 01:48:41,360
Speaker 1: guys to step up. Number two would be just from

2138
01:48:41,439 --> 01:48:45,200
Speaker 1: the start. We have an expectation. We're not trying to

2139
01:48:45,280 --> 01:48:48,040
Speaker 1: wait and see how good we can be defensively. We

2140
01:48:48,200 --> 01:48:49,640
Speaker 1: know that we can play at a high level and

2141
01:48:49,680 --> 01:48:51,559
Speaker 1: that we know we need to eliminate those three games

2142
01:48:51,600 --> 01:48:54,320
Speaker 1: that we had last year to really put our team

2143
01:48:54,520 --> 01:48:57,120
Speaker 1: in an avante agerous spot to where we're not waiting

2144
01:48:57,160 --> 01:48:58,960
Speaker 1: to see what happens on the last play of the

2145
01:48:59,080 --> 01:49:01,439
Speaker 1: drive and somebody else's game. We want to be able

2146
01:49:01,479 --> 01:49:03,800
Speaker 1: to control our destiny and as far as defensively, that's

2147
01:49:03,920 --> 01:49:07,519
Speaker 1: that's our mindset, being the leaders of this team and

2148
01:49:07,680 --> 01:49:10,240
Speaker 1: really putting ourselves in that position by the way we

2149
01:49:10,280 --> 01:49:12,880
Speaker 1: played defensively in studio. A couple more minutes with Lorenzo

2150
01:49:12,920 --> 01:49:15,800
Speaker 1: Alexander or the Buffalo Bills as many campus over. If

2151

2155
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:29,320
Speaker 1: see what Tyrod Taylor had to say? Yeah? Why why

2156
01:49:29,360 --> 01:49:30,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't it I say that? Why wouldn't he want to

2157
01:49:31,000 --> 01:49:32,680
Speaker 1: play and then beat us. Can I hear? Can? I

2158
01:49:32,800 --> 01:49:36,439
Speaker 1: let's play it? Haven't heard it? Tyrod Taylor was asked

2159
01:49:36,520 --> 01:49:38,040
Speaker 1: about I don't know what he was asked about, but

2160
01:49:38,120 --> 01:49:39,519
Speaker 1: he talked about the Bills and I would love to

2161
01:49:39,560 --> 01:49:42,240
Speaker 1: face the Bills again. Here's his uh here's his sound

2162
01:49:42,280 --> 01:49:47,000
Speaker 1: by Tyrod Taylor, former Bills quarterback. Definitely motivated things in

2163
01:49:47,760 --> 01:49:50,600
Speaker 1: the way I would say I would. I would have

2164
01:49:50,680 --> 01:49:53,720
Speaker 1: liked it to for in Buffalo, but God has a plan.

2165
01:49:54,120 --> 01:49:59,040
Speaker 1: They wanted to move forward, and we're still um and

2166
01:49:59,200 --> 01:50:01,400
Speaker 1: a good position. We could process see those guys in

2167
01:50:01,479 --> 01:50:03,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs, or we can knock those guys out of

2168
01:50:03,600 --> 01:50:05,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Love that would I would definitely love that.

2169
01:50:05,960 --> 01:50:09,400
Speaker 1: It's definitely added motivation and I take that to work

2170
01:50:09,479 --> 01:50:12,960
Speaker 1: with me every day. Tyrode, You're right, that's wrong with that. No,

2171
01:50:13,120 --> 01:50:15,280
Speaker 1: of course I want to beat whatever former team I

2172
01:50:15,400 --> 01:50:17,439
Speaker 1: played with. Two they got they didn't want me anymore.

2173
01:50:17,520 --> 01:50:19,240
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna see you in the playoffs. So yeah,

2174
01:50:19,280 --> 01:50:21,960
Speaker 1: now I'm about to show you what you're missing out. Yeah. Sample,

2175
01:50:22,000 --> 01:50:24,040
Speaker 1: I'm not not even wor mad at Tyrode. We're still cool.

2176
01:50:24,240 --> 01:50:27,479
Speaker 1: Tyrode has a neck, doesn't even saying he tells the

2177
01:50:27,560 --> 01:50:29,400
Speaker 1: truth for the most party. Tell ye, I mean he

2178
01:50:29,439 --> 01:50:31,400
Speaker 1: said it in a respectful way, and like all they

2179
01:50:31,439 --> 01:50:33,479
Speaker 1: all them dudes over trash. I can't wait to see

2180
01:50:33,560 --> 01:50:35,960
Speaker 1: him because you know, yeah, we're like, for instance, his

2181
01:50:36,040 --> 01:50:39,280
Speaker 1: teammate Jarvis Landry, he's out there badmouth in his former quarterback.

2182
01:50:39,720 --> 01:50:41,880
Speaker 1: Tyrod's the exact opposite of that. Yeah, he does it

2183
01:50:41,960 --> 01:50:43,720
Speaker 1: in a more respectful way and that, but that's ty

2184
01:50:43,840 --> 01:50:47,280
Speaker 1: Rod's personality. Yeah. Yeah, Lorenzo's with us a couple more minutes.

2187
01:50:52,600 --> 01:50:55,280
Speaker 1: Last Saturday, ACES Foundation, you had your big bowling event.

2188
01:50:55,360 --> 01:50:57,240

01:51:06,880 --> 01:51:09,800
Speaker 1: grand wow. Um, So it was. It was very successful.

2194
01:51:10,040 --> 01:51:11,400
Speaker 1: We're going to be able to do a lot of

2195
01:51:11,520 --> 01:51:14,479
Speaker 1: things with Tim Delaney in the South Park football team

2196
01:51:14,560 --> 01:51:17,080
Speaker 1: as far as feeling some needs for that organization and

2197
01:51:17,360 --> 01:51:19,200
Speaker 1: for some of the kids, families as well as the

2198
01:51:19,280 --> 01:51:22,360
Speaker 1: Bell Center. So that's what I'm looking towards, forward, towards

2199
01:51:22,400 --> 01:51:25,439
Speaker 1: to just be able to help those communities and help

2200
01:51:25,479 --> 01:51:29,720
Speaker 1: those people. What do you, yeah, equipment feel you know

2201
01:51:29,800 --> 01:51:31,479
Speaker 1: they have like the hudder where they can watch film

2202
01:51:31,520 --> 01:51:34,600
Speaker 1: and compete. Uh. Sometimes families may be struggling in a

2203
01:51:34,680 --> 01:51:36,920
Speaker 1: certain area where they need help, and a lot of

2204
01:51:37,000 --> 01:51:39,640
Speaker 1: times that stress falls on the kid and he may

2205
01:51:39,720 --> 01:51:41,760
Speaker 1: have to go to work and do certain things and

2206
01:51:41,840 --> 01:51:43,479
Speaker 1: just be able to be there and feel some of

2207
01:51:43,520 --> 01:51:46,240
Speaker 1: those holes financially can relieve a lot of stress on

2208
01:51:46,280 --> 01:51:48,880
Speaker 1: the family and especially the responsibility that some of our

2209
01:51:48,960 --> 01:51:53,760
Speaker 1: young men are feeling when at home. Isn't as ideals

2210
01:51:53,880 --> 01:51:57,160
Speaker 1: as one with one with South Park UM just a

2211
01:51:57,240 --> 01:52:00,519
Speaker 1: connection through the United Way UM talk and to Rima

2212
01:52:00,560 --> 01:52:04,600
Speaker 1: and gretchen Um, two people that are really influential in

2213
01:52:04,640 --> 01:52:08,599
Speaker 1: our community development department here, and thought Tim Delaney would

2214
01:52:08,600 --> 01:52:10,240
Speaker 1: be a great fit. Saw the work that he was

2215
01:52:10,320 --> 01:52:12,120
Speaker 1: doing with a lot of these young men, going above

2216
01:52:12,160 --> 01:52:15,439
Speaker 1: and beyond with his you know on his uh resume

2217
01:52:15,520 --> 01:52:18,320
Speaker 1: or not resume, but his job description as a coach, uh,

2218
01:52:18,560 --> 01:52:20,200
Speaker 1: you know, spending some of his own money going to

2219
01:52:20,280 --> 01:52:22,360
Speaker 1: pick kids up He reminds me a lot of my

2220
01:52:22,479 --> 01:52:24,080
Speaker 1: uncle and how he poured into a lot of young

2221
01:52:24,160 --> 01:52:26,280
Speaker 1: men's lives, and I just want to attach myself and

2222
01:52:26,560 --> 01:52:30,320
Speaker 1: try to just really emphasize anything that he's teaching and

2223
01:52:30,400 --> 01:52:32,240
Speaker 1: just helped the young men understanding a little bit quicker.

2224
01:52:32,320 --> 01:52:34,720

2267
01:54:18,960 --> 01:54:22,120
Speaker 1: folks because you kind of haven't done it in a while.

2268
01:54:22,600 --> 01:54:25,160
Speaker 1: What does First of all, and I asked Sean about

2269
01:54:25,160 --> 01:54:28,599
Speaker 1: this a minute ago, Coach McDermott m player behavior during

2270
01:54:28,640 --> 01:54:30,920
Speaker 1: these six week periods never been a problem with you,

2271
01:54:31,040 --> 01:54:34,000
Speaker 1: But do you think it's it's an issue for any

2272
01:54:34,000 --> 01:54:38,000
Speaker 1: of your teammates, Like being unsupervised, it's mostly routine, right,

2273
01:54:38,000 --> 01:54:39,440
Speaker 1: you're out of the routine a r you out of

2274
01:54:39,480 --> 01:54:41,800
Speaker 1: your routine. You have more time free, time to you know,

2275
01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:44,240
Speaker 1: go hang out, you know, maybe take a vacation or

2276
01:54:44,240 --> 01:54:47,160
Speaker 1: two over the weekend. And it all comes down to

2277
01:54:47,800 --> 01:54:53,120
Speaker 1: understanding that your actions don't only affect you, and so

2278
01:54:53,240 --> 01:54:56,640
Speaker 1: when you're out about having fun, making sure that you

2279
01:54:56,760 --> 01:54:59,560
Speaker 1: react in a certain way that's gonna be shining the

2280
01:54:59,640 --> 01:55:01,680
Speaker 1: best first of all on you and your family. And

2281
01:55:01,800 --> 01:55:04,600
Speaker 1: then the organization, and when you have that in mind

2282
01:55:04,640 --> 01:55:07,120
Speaker 1: when you're outside, you know, whether you decide to go

2283
01:55:07,200 --> 01:55:09,800
Speaker 1: to Vegas or Miami or wherever you may do a

2284
01:55:10,000 --> 01:55:12,879
Speaker 1: local club and you put yourself in a certain situations,

2285
01:55:12,960 --> 01:55:15,480
Speaker 1: just understand that most of the time people know who

2286
01:55:15,520 --> 01:55:17,560
Speaker 1: you are and that people are gonna try to get

2287
01:55:17,560 --> 01:55:19,600
Speaker 1: a rise out of you, and that just be the

2288
01:55:19,680 --> 01:55:22,240
Speaker 1: bigger person and walk away. Because we never went as

2289
01:55:22,320 --> 01:55:26,000
Speaker 1: athletes anytime that we may react, even if we are justified,

2290
01:55:26,120 --> 01:55:29,240
Speaker 1: if somebody came at us disrespectfully. So you have to

2291
01:55:29,320 --> 01:55:31,880
Speaker 1: have all that mind it and have it predetermined before

2292
01:55:31,920 --> 01:55:34,960
Speaker 1: you go out and really be mindful of it. And

2293
01:55:35,080 --> 01:55:38,000
Speaker 1: even maybe I know some guys even have like a

2294
01:55:38,040 --> 01:55:39,880
Speaker 1: buddy that's not gonna drink that can kind of get

2295
01:55:39,920 --> 01:55:42,280
Speaker 1: you out of there and get you back in safe

2296
01:55:42,320 --> 01:55:44,080
Speaker 1: way because you know guys are gonna hang out. You're

2297
01:55:44,080 --> 01:55:46,000
Speaker 1: not gonna stop guys from doing that. But I think

2298
01:55:46,080 --> 01:55:48,000
Speaker 1: you can go out and do it in the right

2299
01:55:48,080 --> 01:55:50,200
Speaker 1: way Because in my younger days, before I was married

2300
01:55:50,200 --> 01:55:52,320
Speaker 1: and had kids, I was one of those guys hanging

2301
01:55:52,320 --> 01:55:54,160
Speaker 1: out too, but I never got in trouble because I

2302
01:55:54,240 --> 01:55:57,320
Speaker 1: had the right I guess plan kind of set up

2303
01:55:57,360 --> 01:56:01,080
Speaker 1: if things did happen that need to have Yeah, did

2304
01:56:01,160 --> 01:56:02,960
Speaker 1: you have a discussion about this with any of your

2305
01:56:02,960 --> 01:56:06,400
Speaker 1: teammates or no? I think Sean addressed, Leslie addressed in

2306
01:56:06,440 --> 01:56:08,480
Speaker 1: the defensive room. I'm pretty sure Brian did in the

2307
01:56:08,520 --> 01:56:10,320
Speaker 1: officer room as well. But at the end of the day,

2308
01:56:10,400 --> 01:56:13,000
Speaker 1: when you have respect and love for your teammates, you

2309
01:56:13,120 --> 01:56:16,960
Speaker 1: act accordingly. The same with your family. You try to

2310
01:56:17,040 --> 01:56:19,120
Speaker 1: do the best you can as far as being respectful.

2311
01:56:19,200 --> 01:56:21,960
Speaker 1: So when so bad things don't shine a bad light

2312
01:56:22,000 --> 01:56:25,440
Speaker 1: on you. What where is this team today compared to

2313
01:56:25,520 --> 01:56:27,320
Speaker 1: where you were a year ago at this time breaking

2314
01:56:27,560 --> 01:56:30,200
Speaker 1: mini camp, heading to training camp, Will Will, I mean

2315
01:56:30,200 --> 01:56:32,520
Speaker 1: a lot of years ahead. I mean we understand each other.

2316
01:56:32,560 --> 01:56:34,960
Speaker 1: We've had a whole year of getting to know each

2317
01:56:34,960 --> 01:56:39,600
Speaker 1: other personally on the field, going through battles experiences. So

2318
01:56:39,840 --> 01:56:43,440
Speaker 1: this team has a much better foundation, I believe this year,

2319
01:56:43,520 --> 01:56:47,000
Speaker 1: just because we have some history of battling together. Even

2320
01:56:47,040 --> 01:56:50,560
Speaker 1: though we have a you know, a huge nucleus of

2321
01:56:50,640 --> 01:56:53,440
Speaker 1: new guys as well, We've been able to communicate that

2322
01:56:54,440 --> 01:56:56,960
Speaker 1: our culture and our standing here because we also have

2323
01:56:57,200 --> 01:56:59,240
Speaker 1: you know, twenty to twenty five guys that were here

2324
01:56:59,280 --> 01:57:02,760
Speaker 1: with Sean in the past and understands what he expects

2325
01:57:02,800 --> 01:57:05,640
Speaker 1: and what the Buffalo Bills expecting and really what our

2326
01:57:05,760 --> 01:57:08,880
Speaker 1: leadership group expects of all of our players as well. Yeah,

2327
01:57:08,880 --> 01:57:10,920
Speaker 1: it's one thing when we put together a Twitter poll

2328
01:57:10,960 --> 01:57:12,440
Speaker 1: and I was thinking about that question, and it's a

2329
01:57:12,560 --> 01:57:16,040
Speaker 1: legitimate question. Personnel is important. You lose people, you gain people.

2330
01:57:16,120 --> 01:57:18,920
Speaker 1: But the one thing that's hard to quantify from my standpoint,

2331
01:57:18,920 --> 01:57:20,920
Speaker 1: I was doing a radio interview in Boston the other day,

2332
01:57:21,200 --> 01:57:22,800
Speaker 1: and it's hard to even put your finger on it,

2333
01:57:22,880 --> 01:57:25,440
Speaker 1: but there is you have set a standard here even

2334
01:57:25,480 --> 01:57:27,200
Speaker 1: in one year. Not that it's complete and not that

2335
01:57:27,360 --> 01:57:30,000
Speaker 1: it's in place fully, but there's a new standard and

2336
01:57:30,080 --> 01:57:32,720
Speaker 1: a new culture here that I don't know how you quantified.

2337
01:57:32,760 --> 01:57:34,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what it means. It doesn't mean one

2338
01:57:34,320 --> 01:57:36,160
Speaker 1: and a half two wins. I don't know. You don't know,

2339
01:57:36,360 --> 01:57:40,160
Speaker 1: and it's for ever evolving and but I do know

2340
01:57:40,320 --> 01:57:43,760
Speaker 1: it plays a big part in when those games come

2341
01:57:43,800 --> 01:57:46,960
Speaker 1: down to crunch time, as far as I know I

2342
01:57:47,000 --> 01:57:50,040
Speaker 1: can trust this guy and be confident, and confidence means

2343
01:57:50,080 --> 01:57:51,720
Speaker 1: a lot when you're on the football field as far

2344
01:57:51,760 --> 01:57:54,120
Speaker 1: as competing with people. If I'm gonna walk into a

2345
01:57:54,320 --> 01:57:55,800
Speaker 1: you know an alley. I want people that I can

2346
01:57:55,880 --> 01:57:58,120
Speaker 1: trust and believe in. I know they're gonna do their job.

2347
01:57:58,200 --> 01:57:59,879
Speaker 1: And when you have that and you have the security

2348
01:58:00,080 --> 01:58:02,400
Speaker 1: that understanding, you're really able to go out there and

2349
01:58:02,400 --> 01:58:04,360
Speaker 1: play freely because you're not trying to worry about Okay,

2350
01:58:04,400 --> 01:58:06,160
Speaker 1: is this guy gonna be there? You just worried about

2351
01:58:06,160 --> 01:58:07,680
Speaker 1: your job and doing it at a high level. Do

2352
01:58:07,760 --> 01:58:10,560
Speaker 1: you keep up your very strict nutritional regiment during these

2353
01:58:10,640 --> 01:58:13,960
Speaker 1: next six weeks? Yeah? I actually kind of increase it. Yeah, yeah,

2354
01:58:14,000 --> 01:58:15,880
Speaker 1: because I want to come into camp and be, you know,

2355
01:58:16,000 --> 01:58:17,960
Speaker 1: fairly leaning and be able to move and be able

2356
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:19,640
Speaker 1: to run around even better than what I was showing

2357
01:58:19,920 --> 01:58:22,960
Speaker 1: doing OTA. And it doesn't impact your fun or your

2358
01:58:23,040 --> 01:58:26,040
Speaker 1: enjoyment of the six week No, not my fun. I

2359
01:58:26,120 --> 01:58:28,200
Speaker 1: have fun hanging on with my wife and kids, you know.

2360
01:58:28,480 --> 01:58:31,040
Speaker 1: And do you work out in the next six weeks? Yeah,

2361
01:58:31,440 --> 01:58:33,000
Speaker 1: like do you have a place and yeah, I'm going

2362
01:58:33,040 --> 01:58:35,360
Speaker 1: to Arizona. Actually, my trainer I trained with for the

2363
01:58:35,440 --> 01:58:37,520
Speaker 1: combine and actually trained me when I was coming up

2364
01:58:37,520 --> 01:58:40,200
Speaker 1: in high school in college before I got to that point.

2365
01:58:40,720 --> 01:58:43,120
Speaker 1: His name is Thomas Weatherspoon, and he actually relocated to

2366
01:58:43,160 --> 01:58:45,560
Speaker 1: Arizona so that's who I'll be with. And it's kind

2367
01:58:45,560 --> 01:58:47,640
Speaker 1: of like full circle for us. You know, he started

2368
01:58:47,680 --> 01:58:49,840
Speaker 1: my career and now I'm kind of inding it working

2369
01:58:49,880 --> 01:58:51,840
Speaker 1: out with him. Do they do the bills send you

2370
01:58:52,080 --> 01:58:54,440
Speaker 1: and all the players home with a six week programming

2371
01:58:54,520 --> 01:58:55,880
Speaker 1: or here's what you should do? Or do you Yeah,

2372
01:58:55,920 --> 01:58:57,880
Speaker 1: they do have it. They have this app call coach

2373
01:58:57,960 --> 01:59:00,080
Speaker 1: me Plus where they're aligned where you can get on

2374
01:59:00,160 --> 01:59:02,400
Speaker 1: your phone and look at what they want you to do. Um.

2375
01:59:02,680 --> 01:59:04,360
Speaker 1: I think most guys, if you have a trainer, you

2376
01:59:04,440 --> 01:59:05,920
Speaker 1: kind of do your own thing just to kind of

2377
01:59:05,920 --> 01:59:07,760
Speaker 1: get away and change it up so everybody doesn't get

2378
01:59:07,840 --> 01:59:09,960
Speaker 1: used to the same workouts. And then you most of

2379
01:59:10,000 --> 01:59:11,840
Speaker 1: the time as a venture you know what you need

2380
01:59:12,000 --> 01:59:14,720
Speaker 1: and where you really need to emphasize in the off season,

2381
01:59:14,760 --> 01:59:16,880
Speaker 1: so when you come back, you're hitting on all cylinder

2382
01:59:16,960 --> 01:59:18,200
Speaker 1: when you come back where you be on the show

2383
01:59:18,200 --> 01:59:21,320
Speaker 1: with us? So of course, okay, you know, um, I'll

2384
01:59:21,400 --> 01:59:23,440
Speaker 1: leave that for another day. Leaf J is not here

2385

Speaker 1: And did you miss Steve? Steve Tasker here today? Well,

2386
01:59:30,520 --> 01:59:33,000
Speaker 1: he's on vacation. That's my guy. Man, What you want

2387
01:59:33,040 --> 01:59:35,000
Speaker 1: to do? Are you upset? Because he's able to negotiate

2388
01:59:35,040 --> 01:59:37,040
Speaker 1: a better vacation. I don't know if he has a

2389
01:59:37,080 --> 01:59:38,600
Speaker 1: better one. I have a pretty good one. It just

Speaker 1: they're trying to fit fill you in it with people.

2393
01:59:46,320 --> 01:59:47,600
Speaker 1: They're trying to get me to do it. But I'm

2407
02:00:48,400 --> 02:00:51,040

2417
02:01:17,120 --> 02:01:19,120
Speaker 1: He may have heard Sean McDermot talk about him a

2418
02:01:19,200 --> 02:01:22,080
Speaker 1: little bit ago. A Syracuse native. I didn't know that

2419
02:01:22,120 --> 02:01:24,760
Speaker 1: until I read his obituary today. Worked here in Buffalo

2420
02:01:24,800 --> 02:01:26,320
Speaker 1: for a while and then came back to do the

2421
02:01:26,400 --> 02:01:28,960
Speaker 1: Bills for six seasons. How did that happen? I asked

2422
02:01:29,000 --> 02:01:30,840
Speaker 1: Van Miller once, How did that happen that you missed

2423
02:01:30,840 --> 02:01:33,480
Speaker 1: seventy two through seventy seven. Van, of course, was the

2424
02:01:33,520 --> 02:01:35,960
Speaker 1: play by play voice of the NBA Buffalo Braves at

2425
02:01:36,040 --> 02:01:38,600
Speaker 1: that time. There was some kind of dispute. They didn't

2426
02:01:38,600 --> 02:01:40,800
Speaker 1: want him to do both, and so Van chose the

2427
02:01:40,880 --> 02:01:43,640
Speaker 1: Braves instead of the Bills, and al Meltzer came in

2428
02:01:43,720 --> 02:01:47,320
Speaker 1: from Philadelphia worked the games on WKBW radio for six

2429
02:01:47,440 --> 02:01:52,280
Speaker 1: years along with Eddie Retkowski and Rick Rickes are of

2430
02:01:52,320 --> 02:01:54,120
Speaker 1: sounds like him. Too many people when they heard that

2431
02:01:54,200 --> 02:01:56,320
Speaker 1: thought that was Rick, but that was al Meltzer. Most

2432
02:01:56,360 --> 02:01:59,040
Speaker 1: of that play by play sports anchor in Philadelphia for

2433
02:01:59,120 --> 02:02:01,680
Speaker 1: twenty years, did play by play there for the Sixers,

2434
02:02:01,760 --> 02:02:04,600
Speaker 1: the Eagles, the Phillies did Big Five basketball, which was hused,

2435
02:02:05,160 --> 02:02:08,880
Speaker 1: was huge down there. He was at the ODD when

2436
02:02:08,880 --> 02:02:11,680
Speaker 1: the Flyers won the Stanley Cup second consecutive Stanley Cup

2437
02:02:11,760 --> 02:02:14,120
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy five. He was on the ice doing

2438
02:02:14,160 --> 02:02:17,040
Speaker 1: Flyer interviews at the ODD nineteen eighty World Series. He

2439
02:02:17,120 --> 02:02:19,360
Speaker 1: covered that he was eighty nine years old. A former

2440
02:02:19,400 --> 02:02:22,120
Speaker 1: All City high school basketball player in the city of Syracuse.

2441
02:02:22,360 --> 02:02:24,920
Speaker 1: Al Maltzer passed away last night at the age of

2442
02:02:25,040 --> 02:02:27,920
Speaker 1: eighty nine, one of three individuals to handle play by

2443
02:02:27,960 --> 02:02:30,920
Speaker 1: play radio duties for the Buffalo Bills, and we passed

2444
02:02:30,920 --> 02:02:33,800
Speaker 1: along our condolences to his family to as many fans.

2445
02:02:34,680 --> 02:02:37,040
Speaker 1: The guy was an icon, a legend in Philadelphia and

2446
02:02:37,200 --> 02:02:39,480
Speaker 1: for six years was the radio play by play voice

2447
02:02:39,840 --> 02:02:42,200
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. Al Meltzer. Maybe you remember, maybe

2448
02:02:42,200 --> 02:02:43,920
Speaker 1: you don't give us a call. If you remember the

2449
02:02:43,960 --> 02:02:46,640
Speaker 1: phone nines open eight oh three five fifty toll free

2450
02:02:47,040 --> 02:02:50,840
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. Our

2451
02:02:50,920 --> 02:02:53,320
Speaker 1: Twitter poll up and running today. You can weigh in

2452
02:02:53,400 --> 02:02:54,960
Speaker 1: on that on the phone lines. We got time now,

2453
02:02:55,000 --> 02:02:56,880
Speaker 1: we got about a half hour here with plenty of

2454
02:02:56,960 --> 02:03:00,520
Speaker 1: time to deal with the Twitter poll Twitter pole deals

2455
02:03:00,560 --> 02:03:02,720
Speaker 1: with now that we're at where we are at, which

2456
02:03:02,800 --> 02:03:05,840
Speaker 1: is at the end of the of mini camp and

2457
02:03:05,960 --> 02:03:08,160
Speaker 1: six weeks until training camp. Now, what do you think

2458
02:03:08,280 --> 02:03:10,360
Speaker 1: was the biggest offseason loss for the Buffalo Bills? They

2459
02:03:10,400 --> 02:03:13,520
Speaker 1: plugged holes that most of these spots on the offensive line,

2460
02:03:13,520 --> 02:03:17,280
Speaker 1: at quarterback, at linebacker, at other positions. What do you

2461
02:03:17,360 --> 02:03:21,160
Speaker 1: think what was the biggest offseason loss for the Buffalo Bills?

2462
02:03:21,240 --> 02:03:23,560
Speaker 1: Knowing what you know about who is lining up there

2463
02:03:23,560 --> 02:03:26,560
Speaker 1: and getting ready to play, is it offensive line Eric Wood,

2464
02:03:26,640 --> 02:03:29,720
Speaker 1: Richie Incognito. Yes. According to eighty seven percent of you,

2465
02:03:29,880 --> 02:03:32,000
Speaker 1: you think that is the biggest offseason loss for the Bills.

2466
02:03:32,320 --> 02:03:34,280
Speaker 1: Five percent of you think it's the loss of quarterback

2467
02:03:34,320 --> 02:03:36,920
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor, five percent of you think it's the loss

2468
02:03:36,960 --> 02:03:40,000
Speaker 1: of linebacker Preston Brown, and three percent say somebody else

2469
02:03:40,040 --> 02:03:41,960
Speaker 1: in mind. If you'd like to elaborate, give us a call.

2470
02:03:42,080 --> 02:03:45,000
Speaker 1: Eight oh three five fifty toll free one eight eight

2471
02:03:45,160 --> 02:03:49,200
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty. Biggest loss offseason for

2472
02:03:49,240 --> 02:03:51,360
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, especially when you think about who's in

2473
02:03:51,440 --> 02:03:54,480
Speaker 1: there now, who's running there now. From the tweet sheet,

2474
02:03:54,600 --> 02:03:57,880
Speaker 1: Rob Spidel says, I agree with Jordan Matthews. We had

2475
02:03:57,920 --> 02:04:01,360
Speaker 1: a caller suggested Jordan Matthews wide receiver was the biggest loss.

2476
02:04:01,680 --> 02:04:04,480
Speaker 1: Rob Spynell says, I agree with Jordan Matthews being the

2477
02:04:04,600 --> 02:04:09,160
Speaker 1: biggest loss because the receiving corps has been a hodgepodge

2478
02:04:09,240 --> 02:04:12,400
Speaker 1: of practice squad players for the last two years, saved

2479
02:04:12,440 --> 02:04:15,280
Speaker 1: for Matthews and Benjamin due to injuries and trades and

2480
02:04:15,400 --> 02:04:18,800
Speaker 1: the inability to resign. I think he's going for Sammy

2481
02:04:18,840 --> 02:04:22,640
Speaker 1: Watkinson and ran out of characters. Maybe inability to resign

2482
02:04:22,640 --> 02:04:24,480
Speaker 1: who Robert Woods? Maybe I don't know. He didn't finish.

2483
02:04:25,080 --> 02:04:27,360
Speaker 1: Patrick Helper tweets him the loss of Taylor is not

2484
02:04:27,440 --> 02:04:30,560
Speaker 1: a big loss except from the knowing of what you're

2485
02:04:30,560 --> 02:04:33,400
Speaker 1: having a quarterback standpoint. While he was fairly constant in

2486
02:04:33,400 --> 02:04:35,440
Speaker 1: the big picture, moving him could be the biggest game.

2487
02:04:35,800 --> 02:04:39,640
Speaker 1: Good point, really good point about that. Patrick Helper and

2488
02:04:39,800 --> 02:04:41,480
Speaker 1: Chris Brown kind of made a similar point. There is

2489
02:04:41,600 --> 02:04:45,040
Speaker 1: uncertainty about the quarterback spot because we don't know quite frankly,

2490
02:04:45,040 --> 02:04:47,040
Speaker 1: who was gonna win that job right now. You think

2491
02:04:47,080 --> 02:04:49,000
Speaker 1: it'll be a j McCarron. It might be Josh Allen,

2492
02:04:49,080 --> 02:04:52,280
Speaker 1: it might be Nathan Peterman, which leaves you with uncertainty

2493
02:04:52,640 --> 02:04:55,280
Speaker 1: at the quarterback spot. But we'll see, and maybe that

2494
02:04:55,400 --> 02:04:56,600
Speaker 1: turns out at the end of the year. You know,

2495
02:04:56,640 --> 02:04:57,960
Speaker 1: maybe we do this poll at the end of the

2496
02:04:58,040 --> 02:05:00,560
Speaker 1: year again, what's the biggest loss for the full of Bills?

2497
02:05:00,720 --> 02:05:03,920
Speaker 1: A couple more tweets from the tweet sheet bill Leeve

2498
02:05:04,000 --> 02:05:06,720
Speaker 1: eighty eight. We asked the question what's the biggest offseason

2499
02:05:06,760 --> 02:05:09,760
Speaker 1: lost for the Bills? Billieve eighty eight says voted, oh line,

2500
02:05:09,800 --> 02:05:11,760
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna really miss Preston Brown and hope to

2501
02:05:11,800 --> 02:05:15,160
Speaker 1: see Tyrode play well on this new team. Preston Brown

2502
02:05:15,240 --> 02:05:17,880
Speaker 1: could be missed here, you know, a productive guy, as

2503
02:05:17,960 --> 02:05:20,680
Speaker 1: has been mentioned several times on this show and elsewhere.

2504
02:05:21,040 --> 02:05:23,000
Speaker 1: Not a great fit for what the Bills wanted to

2505
02:05:23,080 --> 02:05:25,240
Speaker 1: do defensively this year and what they want to do

2506
02:05:25,320 --> 02:05:27,000
Speaker 1: moving forward. I think they have a much better fit

2507
02:05:27,600 --> 02:05:31,400
Speaker 1: in the rookie Tremaine Edmonds. But Preston was productive a

2508
02:05:31,440 --> 02:05:34,280
Speaker 1: lot of tackles obviously and had a lot of production,

2509
02:05:34,480 --> 02:05:38,000
Speaker 1: and that'll have to be replaced somewhere. Mini camp Jack

2510
02:05:38,080 --> 02:05:40,720
Speaker 1: tweets in in response, what's the biggest offseason lost for

2511
02:05:40,760 --> 02:05:43,480
Speaker 1: the Bills? Mini camp Chat says, all the choices will

2512
02:05:43,520 --> 02:05:46,440
Speaker 1: be felt at least a little. But Wood Incognito were

2513
02:05:46,560 --> 02:05:49,400
Speaker 1: Pro bowlers and the lynchpin of the offensive line. We

2514
02:05:49,440 --> 02:05:51,800
Speaker 1: haven't done much to replace them. A rookie fifth and

2515
02:05:51,840 --> 02:05:55,520
Speaker 1: a few journeyman types Bodine a new house provide little confidence.

2516
02:05:55,520 --> 02:05:57,440
Speaker 1: At least we have Groy, but I'm nervous. Okay, you

2517
02:05:57,520 --> 02:06:00,600
Speaker 1: can be nervous about that. I think Groy. You're right

2518
02:06:00,600 --> 02:06:03,880
Speaker 1: about Groy. I mean his tenure at center two seasons ago.

2519
02:06:04,280 --> 02:06:07,480
Speaker 1: I thought, I think should make people feel fairly confident

2520
02:06:07,520 --> 02:06:11,400
Speaker 1: about what he can do. Bodin played a lot in Cincinnati.

2521
02:06:11,440 --> 02:06:14,720
Speaker 1: We'll see how much he plays here. You know John

2522
02:06:14,800 --> 02:06:17,600
Speaker 1: Miller back in the starting lineing, but guard, he was

2523
02:06:17,680 --> 02:06:19,720
Speaker 1: a starter for a couple of years. It's not as

2524
02:06:19,760 --> 02:06:21,680
Speaker 1: if they're plugging in someone there who you don't know

2525
02:06:21,800 --> 02:06:24,560
Speaker 1: who they are. So we haven't done enough to replace him.

2526
02:06:24,560 --> 02:06:27,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. They signed two veterans, Marshall Newhouse and

2527
02:06:28,040 --> 02:06:31,600
Speaker 1: Russell Bodine, journeyman types. I guess both of them are.

2528
02:06:31,800 --> 02:06:35,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Richie Incognito was a journeyman as well. Vlad

2529
02:06:35,240 --> 02:06:37,720
Speaker 1: Ducas was a journeyman as well. He's a starter. We'll

2530
02:06:37,720 --> 02:06:39,960
Speaker 1: see how it works out. I think those are the

2531
02:06:40,000 --> 02:06:43,560
Speaker 1: two biggest, potentially most significant losses, but I'm not I

2532
02:06:43,560 --> 02:06:46,520
Speaker 1: don't think it's a disaster in the making for the Bills.

2533
02:06:46,520 --> 02:06:49,400
Speaker 1: On the offensive line, Darryl F twenty nine says it

2534
02:06:49,480 --> 02:06:52,120
Speaker 1: has to be Wooden Incognito because of all units on

2535
02:06:52,240 --> 02:06:55,480
Speaker 1: the field, the old line is about continuity and cohesiveness

2536
02:06:55,560 --> 02:06:58,160
Speaker 1: more so than any other group. Having to replace two

2537
02:06:58,200 --> 02:07:01,240
Speaker 1: starters as a monumental task. Luckily, the Bills have the

2538
02:07:01,280 --> 02:07:04,400
Speaker 1: time to find the right mix of guys. They may

2539
02:07:04,440 --> 02:07:06,320
Speaker 1: have already found him based on what we saw here

2540
02:07:06,320 --> 02:07:08,880
Speaker 1: and in the spring right Otah Minicamp. When you look

2541
02:07:08,920 --> 02:07:11,800
Speaker 1: at what they're doing here with Ryan Groy getting most

2542
02:07:11,840 --> 02:07:14,960
Speaker 1: of the first team reps at center, Ducats shifting over

2543
02:07:15,040 --> 02:07:17,120
Speaker 1: to the other side, and John millerback on the lineup,

2544
02:07:17,320 --> 02:07:19,600
Speaker 1: they may already have their answers there in the offensive line.

2545
02:07:19,920 --> 02:07:21,480
Speaker 1: The answer is going to be good enough. That remains

2546
02:07:21,520 --> 02:07:24,320
Speaker 1: to be seen. And one more from the tweetcheet Brian Cook.

2547
02:07:24,800 --> 02:07:27,240
Speaker 1: He said the question out there on Twitter the biggest

2548
02:07:27,280 --> 02:07:29,960
Speaker 1: offseason loss for the Bills? Brian Cook says, I may

2549
02:07:30,040 --> 02:07:32,160
Speaker 1: not have voted this way, but I can make the

2550
02:07:32,240 --> 02:07:35,240
Speaker 1: case that the biggest loss was Tyrod. Quarterback is the

2551
02:07:35,280 --> 02:07:38,080
Speaker 1: most important and most difficult spot to fill on the roster.

2552
02:07:38,640 --> 02:07:41,280
Speaker 1: Trading him away shaped everything else we did in free

2553
02:07:41,280 --> 02:07:44,320
Speaker 1: agency and the draft. Well, it certainly did in the

2554
02:07:44,440 --> 02:07:47,680
Speaker 1: draft when it comes to moving up getting the seventh

2555
02:07:47,760 --> 02:07:52,360
Speaker 1: overall pick and getting Josh Allen. It is the most

2556
02:07:52,440 --> 02:07:56,400
Speaker 1: difficult spot to find a good, great quarterback. I would

2557
02:07:56,480 --> 02:07:58,920
Speaker 1: argue that the Bills did not have a great quarterback

2558
02:07:58,960 --> 02:08:01,440
Speaker 1: in Tyrod Taylor, and they wanted to get better at

2559
02:08:01,480 --> 02:08:04,360
Speaker 1: the quarterback spot, which is why I think that move

2560
02:08:04,520 --> 02:08:07,240
Speaker 1: is absolutely understandable for the Bills. I mean, what do

2561
02:08:07,320 --> 02:08:09,400
Speaker 1: we say with Chris Brown. You knew, you knew what

2562
02:08:09,480 --> 02:08:12,080
Speaker 1: you got with Tyrod Taylor. I think we all acknowledge that,

2563
02:08:12,440 --> 02:08:14,280
Speaker 1: and you also knew that what you got from him

2564
02:08:14,440 --> 02:08:16,960
Speaker 1: was not good enough. You could stay with that if

2565
02:08:17,000 --> 02:08:20,200
Speaker 1: you wanted, If you wanted to just kind of treadwater.

2566
02:08:20,320 --> 02:08:22,320
Speaker 1: But I give the Bills credit for saying, you know what,

2567
02:08:22,600 --> 02:08:25,720
Speaker 1: not good enough. Thirty first overall passing attack not good enough.

2568
02:08:25,760 --> 02:08:27,960
Speaker 1: We know what we get from Tyrod Taylor. You're not

2569
02:08:28,000 --> 02:08:30,680
Speaker 1: going to get interceptions. You're gonna get, you know, fairly

2570
02:08:30,720 --> 02:08:32,360
Speaker 1: steady play. You're also not going to get a lot

2571
02:08:32,400 --> 02:08:34,360
Speaker 1: of big plays in the passing game. You're gonna get

2572
02:08:34,400 --> 02:08:36,680
Speaker 1: a guy who misses open receivers downfield, a guy who

2573
02:08:36,760 --> 02:08:40,000
Speaker 1: is late, I think somewhat consistently when it comes to

2574
02:08:40,080 --> 02:08:43,880
Speaker 1: finding open receivers downfield. So the Bills I think should

2575
02:08:43,920 --> 02:08:48,440
Speaker 1: get some credit for knowing Tyrod Taylor's ceiling, knowing his limitations,

2576
02:08:48,960 --> 02:08:52,000
Speaker 1: and acting to get better at the quarterback spot. That's

2577
02:08:52,040 --> 02:08:55,560
Speaker 1: what they've done. It's an offseason loss, but maybe you know,

2578
02:08:56,040 --> 02:08:58,720
Speaker 1: short term loss for a long term game. I think

2579
02:08:58,920 --> 02:09:00,720
Speaker 1: they would. They would. They want to tell you that

2580
02:09:00,800 --> 02:09:02,600
Speaker 1: that is the case, right that they're going to be

2581
02:09:02,680 --> 02:09:06,320
Speaker 1: better at quarterback someday. If not right away this year,

2582
02:09:06,400 --> 02:09:09,200
Speaker 1: then someday, I think they anticipate to that they'll be better.

2583
02:09:09,800 --> 02:09:11,440
Speaker 1: Give us a call, we'll talk about it. The biggest

2584
02:09:11,480 --> 02:09:14,440
Speaker 1: offseason loss for the Bills eight oh three five fifty

2585
02:09:14,480 --> 02:09:18,240
Speaker 1: two three one eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

2586
02:09:18,360 --> 02:09:21,640
Speaker 1: There are no questions about the Bills at the receiver

2587
02:09:21,760 --> 02:09:24,280
Speaker 1: spot right We know that with the departure of some

2588
02:09:24,520 --> 02:09:27,720
Speaker 1: and with what they've done, Calvin Benjamin looks ready to

2589
02:09:27,800 --> 02:09:29,920
Speaker 1: be the number one and Sean McDermot talked about him

2590
02:09:29,920 --> 02:09:33,280
Speaker 1: earlier today before practice. McDermott went to before the media

2591
02:09:33,400 --> 02:09:36,120
Speaker 1: did a news conference. He talked about Calvin Benjamin. He says,

2592
02:09:36,160 --> 02:09:38,560
Speaker 1: it looks like Calvin Benjamin is ready to be a

2593
02:09:38,600 --> 02:09:40,760
Speaker 1: big contributor to the Buffalo offense. Here's what the head

2594
02:09:40,800 --> 02:09:43,720
Speaker 1: coach said. You know, last week came in and obviously

2595
02:09:43,800 --> 02:09:47,840
Speaker 1: had a challenging back half of the season there more

2596
02:09:48,040 --> 02:09:50,720
Speaker 1: with the health issues than anything. And and I like

2597
02:09:51,040 --> 02:09:55,760
Speaker 1: the way that he's worked this offseason. He's worked through

2598
02:09:56,160 --> 02:09:59,640
Speaker 1: the training room parties, worked through the strength and conditioning parties,

2599
02:09:59,680 --> 02:10:04,400
Speaker 1: working with the new system, and really what not comparing

2600
02:10:04,480 --> 02:10:06,640
Speaker 1: him to what we saw in Carolina, But more so

2601
02:10:07,280 --> 02:10:10,560
Speaker 1: Kelvin continuing to be We're working to be the best

2602
02:10:10,680 --> 02:10:13,000
Speaker 1: version of himself that he can be on and off

2603
02:10:13,040 --> 02:10:16,360
Speaker 1: the field, and I think that process continues and will

2604
02:10:16,440 --> 02:10:19,000
Speaker 1: continue through the summer and it's it's a critical part

2605
02:10:20,600 --> 02:10:24,200
Speaker 1: and point in time for our football team, not just Calvin,

2606
02:10:24,240 --> 02:10:27,600
Speaker 1: but our entire football team that they handle this offseason,

2607
02:10:28,000 --> 02:10:30,960
Speaker 1: this next phase of it the right way. Yeah, and

2608
02:10:31,000 --> 02:10:33,240
Speaker 1: that's one of the important issues that McDermot talked about

2609
02:10:33,240 --> 02:10:34,560
Speaker 1: with us when he was sitting there on the set

2610
02:10:34,880 --> 02:10:37,160
Speaker 1: last hour, you know, handling it the right way. I

2611
02:10:37,240 --> 02:10:39,680
Speaker 1: think they like what they've seen from Calvin Benjamin. They

2612
02:10:40,000 --> 02:10:41,840
Speaker 1: are going to rely on Kelvin Benjamin a lot to

2613
02:10:41,920 --> 02:10:44,360
Speaker 1: be the number one. We talked at linked with Chris

2614
02:10:44,480 --> 02:10:48,640
Speaker 1: Brown about this. I think it's a look. I guess

2615
02:10:48,720 --> 02:10:51,560
Speaker 1: Calvin Benjamin was the number one receiver at Carolina too

2616
02:10:51,640 --> 02:10:54,400
Speaker 1: when he was there, but he does he's not the

2617
02:10:54,480 --> 02:10:56,800
Speaker 1: prototypical number one. I think he's a different breed of

2618
02:10:56,920 --> 02:11:00,920
Speaker 1: number one receiver, you know, because of his side, because

2619
02:11:00,920 --> 02:11:03,720
Speaker 1: of his red zone ability. I don't think he's slow,

2620
02:11:03,800 --> 02:11:05,400
Speaker 1: but I certainly don't think he's a guy who would

2621
02:11:05,400 --> 02:11:09,800
Speaker 1: scare opposing teams with his ability to you know, break

2622
02:11:09,880 --> 02:11:12,480
Speaker 1: loose and get deep downfield. But he's got a lot

2623
02:11:12,520 --> 02:11:15,200
Speaker 1: of other things to offer, including an ability to block out,

2624
02:11:15,880 --> 02:11:18,840
Speaker 1: get open, block out, good hands, and be a big

2625
02:11:18,920 --> 02:11:22,760
Speaker 1: target for whoever the quarterback is so that's important to watch. Um. Yeah,

2626
02:11:22,800 --> 02:11:25,400
Speaker 1: And and the issue about the offseason, McDermott talked about

2627
02:11:25,440 --> 02:11:27,880
Speaker 1: that with us how important it was for the players

2628
02:11:27,920 --> 02:11:30,320
Speaker 1: to essentially behave stay out of trouble when they are

2629
02:11:30,760 --> 02:11:32,800
Speaker 1: on their own, not out of the routine, the normal

2630
02:11:32,880 --> 02:11:35,640
Speaker 1: routine they get here at One Bills Drive and McDermott says,

2631
02:11:35,640 --> 02:11:37,480
Speaker 1: they've talked about it and we'll get you continue to

2632
02:11:37,600 --> 02:11:40,440
Speaker 1: monitor it throughout the off season. Before the Bills go

2633
02:11:40,520 --> 02:11:45,360
Speaker 1: to camp in six weeks, all of our players there

2634
02:11:45,400 --> 02:11:49,480
Speaker 1: have been plans set forth for this offseason period of

2635
02:11:49,560 --> 02:11:53,120
Speaker 1: time where you know there's strength and conditioning plans, there's

2636
02:11:53,640 --> 02:11:58,360
Speaker 1: there's plans in terms of improving skill and so this

2637
02:11:58,600 --> 02:12:02,560
Speaker 1: this offseason for all of our players, our staff included,

2638
02:12:02,680 --> 02:12:06,960
Speaker 1: is important to reset, to get certain priorities of their

2639
02:12:07,000 --> 02:12:08,960
Speaker 1: lives taken care of. So when we come back to

2640
02:12:09,080 --> 02:12:12,120
Speaker 1: training camp, we're ready to go, and we're we're further

2641
02:12:12,200 --> 02:12:15,040
Speaker 1: ahead mentally than we were then as we leave today

2642
02:12:15,160 --> 02:12:17,840
Speaker 1: or tomorrow, and we're further ahead physically as well as

2643
02:12:17,880 --> 02:12:22,320
Speaker 1: we leave today or tomorrow. So that's an important Again

2644
02:12:22,360 --> 02:12:24,360
Speaker 1: I've said before, this is an important period of time

2645
02:12:24,440 --> 02:12:27,160
Speaker 1: for us. Andy McDermott brings up a good point too

2646
02:12:27,200 --> 02:12:30,200
Speaker 1: about just where they are, and I think it's you know,

2647
02:12:30,280 --> 02:12:32,880
Speaker 1: I put the question to Lorenzo and to Sean when

2648
02:12:32,880 --> 02:12:35,160
Speaker 1: they were with us on the show, where are the bills?

2649
02:12:35,520 --> 02:12:37,400
Speaker 1: It's a it's a mile post here. Look, it's not

2650
02:12:37,520 --> 02:12:39,840
Speaker 1: a you know, mini camp is what it is. You know,

2651
02:12:39,920 --> 02:12:44,680
Speaker 1: it's non contact, nonpadded practices. Just wrapped up today, three

2652
02:12:44,760 --> 02:12:49,040
Speaker 1: mandatory sessions, ten OTAs before that not critical, but at

2653
02:12:49,120 --> 02:12:51,360
Speaker 1: least now that mini camp is over as of about

2654
02:12:51,360 --> 02:12:53,400
Speaker 1: an hour and a half ago, now you can look

2655
02:12:53,400 --> 02:12:55,400
Speaker 1: at where you're at. That's what got to our Twitter

2656
02:12:55,440 --> 02:12:57,960
Speaker 1: poll about personnel. There's more to it than personnel, obviously,

2657
02:12:58,280 --> 02:13:01,280
Speaker 1: but where are they? Are they further ahead? McDermott was

2658
02:13:01,320 --> 02:13:04,080
Speaker 1: asked that question at his morning news conference today. He said,

2659
02:13:04,120 --> 02:13:06,720
Speaker 1: in general, he likes where the bills are right now

2660
02:13:06,840 --> 02:13:09,800
Speaker 1: at the end of this mini camp. You know, we're

2661
02:13:09,840 --> 02:13:12,960
Speaker 1: further ahead this year than we were last year. Still

2662
02:13:12,960 --> 02:13:15,720
Speaker 1: a lot of work to do, but this time is

2663
02:13:16,080 --> 02:13:17,800
Speaker 1: a time for us to hit, like I said, hit

2664
02:13:17,840 --> 02:13:21,320
Speaker 1: the reset button, get some rest for our players, certainly

2665
02:13:21,360 --> 02:13:23,360
Speaker 1: to push back a little bit, but also ramp up

2666
02:13:23,400 --> 02:13:25,760
Speaker 1: the training as we head towards Rochester, and you got

2667
02:13:25,920 --> 02:13:27,600
Speaker 1: heard Lorenzo talk about that, right I was going to

2668
02:13:27,640 --> 02:13:30,200
Speaker 1: work with his trainer out in Arizona. He will continue

2669
02:13:30,280 --> 02:13:34,600
Speaker 1: his very strict nutrition regimen over the next six weeks.

2670
02:13:35,800 --> 02:13:39,000
Speaker 1: If you're smart like Lorenzo, Alexander and smart NFL players

2671
02:13:39,040 --> 02:13:41,839
Speaker 1: on this roster or any you don't just go on vacation.

2672
02:13:41,920 --> 02:13:44,080
Speaker 1: You don't just cut Lucy's next six weeks. Six weeks

2673
02:13:44,120 --> 02:13:46,000
Speaker 1: from today, the Bills will be on the field for

2674
02:13:46,000 --> 02:13:49,400
Speaker 1: their first training camp practice on Thursday, July twenty six.

2675
02:13:49,720 --> 02:13:51,680
Speaker 1: We got some shows coming up atween now and then too,

2676
02:13:51,760 --> 02:13:53,960
Speaker 1: so we'll be talking a lot more about that. Did

2677
02:13:54,040 --> 02:13:56,360
Speaker 1: you see one thing came across my dest today about

2678
02:13:56,400 --> 02:14:01,240
Speaker 1: the Patriots and they're OTAs. They had two voluntary organized

2679
02:14:01,240 --> 02:14:03,200
Speaker 1: team activity scheduled for the rest of this week. I

2680
02:14:03,280 --> 02:14:08,440
Speaker 1: think yesterday today canceled by Bill Belichick and Belichick Tuesday

2681
02:14:08,600 --> 02:14:11,880
Speaker 1: two days ago, basically had a history lesson on the

2682
02:14:11,960 --> 02:14:15,000
Speaker 1: roots of football. The ESPN says he wanted to create

2683
02:14:15,040 --> 02:14:17,520
Speaker 1: an environment where players were going back in time. That

2684
02:14:17,640 --> 02:14:19,920
Speaker 1: meant they were leather helmets on the practice field for

2685
02:14:19,960 --> 02:14:23,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots, digital clocks covered up in team meeting rooms,

2686
02:14:23,560 --> 02:14:26,440
Speaker 1: black and white recordings of old football plays, and the

2687
02:14:26,640 --> 02:14:29,200
Speaker 1: lunch menu that resembled what players would eat in the

2688
02:14:29,320 --> 02:14:32,360
Speaker 1: thirties and forties, burgers, hot dogs rather than sushi and

2689
02:14:32,440 --> 02:14:34,520
Speaker 1: some of the stuff they get now. One player said,

2690
02:14:34,520 --> 02:14:36,360
Speaker 1: it was it was a lot of fun that's been

2691
02:14:36,440 --> 02:14:39,680
Speaker 1: lacking in New England. Right, Belichick has a connection to history.

2692
02:14:39,720 --> 02:14:43,360
Speaker 1: We know that he's a fan of football history. The

2693
02:14:43,480 --> 02:14:46,680
Speaker 1: day before that day, Tuesday and Monday, Belichick took the

2694
02:14:46,760 --> 02:14:49,760
Speaker 1: Patriots to Fenway Park. The Patriots used to play in

2695
02:14:49,800 --> 02:14:54,400
Speaker 1: Fenway Park. One player said, the thing I've learned about

2696
02:14:54,440 --> 02:14:57,240
Speaker 1: Coach Belichick is that he loves history, loves the military,

2697
02:14:57,360 --> 02:15:00,120
Speaker 1: and anytime he can incorporate teaching us about that, he

2698
02:15:00,240 --> 02:15:02,160
Speaker 1: loves to do that. It was cool for him to

2699
02:15:02,200 --> 02:15:03,800
Speaker 1: get a chance to talk to teach us about the

2700
02:15:03,840 --> 02:15:06,000
Speaker 1: sport that we're in the National Football League and and

2701
02:15:06,120 --> 02:15:10,000
Speaker 1: how it started. Yeah, it's different. Right Belichick did that

2702
02:15:10,080 --> 02:15:12,320
Speaker 1: for the Patriots earlier. Of course, they had Kobe Bryant

2703
02:15:12,400 --> 02:15:15,160
Speaker 1: come and speak to the Patriots and OTAs Bryant watched

2704
02:15:15,200 --> 02:15:17,960
Speaker 1: the team practice, and then the former Los Angeles Lakers

2705
02:15:18,000 --> 02:15:20,840
Speaker 1: superstar came and spoke to the Patriots just a little

2706
02:15:20,880 --> 02:15:23,880
Speaker 1: different approach Belichick and the Patriots. I think that's pretty

2707
02:15:23,880 --> 02:15:25,720
Speaker 1: interesting that he wanted to spend at least one day

2708
02:15:26,240 --> 02:15:30,320
Speaker 1: educating his players on the history of the game. Maybe

2709
02:15:30,320 --> 02:15:32,720
Speaker 1: they're just trying to have more fun. Maybe they're just

2710
02:15:32,760 --> 02:15:35,080
Speaker 1: trying to get more fun after they were accused in

2711
02:15:35,160 --> 02:15:37,440
Speaker 1: several quarters of not being a fun team to be around.

2712
02:15:38,240 --> 02:15:41,520
Speaker 1: Bob Kraft talked about the cancelation of the final two

2713
02:15:41,560 --> 02:15:44,120
Speaker 1: OTAs said, part of that is there were great things

2714
02:15:44,160 --> 02:15:46,520
Speaker 1: that happened last week having everyone here, and then they

2715
02:15:46,600 --> 02:15:48,800
Speaker 1: had a team building activity that was really good, so

2716
02:15:48,960 --> 02:15:51,280
Speaker 1: the owners on board with it. Very interesting stuff from

2717
02:15:51,360 --> 02:15:55,040

02:16:41,720 --> 02:16:44,280
Speaker 1: you're on the air. First of all, John, I first

2734
02:16:44,360 --> 02:16:46,400
Speaker 1: want to say, it is an honor to be speaking

2735
02:16:46,440 --> 02:16:50,000
Speaker 1: with you man, for real, I mean awfully nice Floyd

2736
02:16:50,160 --> 02:16:52,920
Speaker 1: and Miller, you know, for Rell. So yeah, I mean

2737
02:16:53,360 --> 02:16:54,880
Speaker 1: been a fans in s eighty five. So let me

2738
02:16:54,959 --> 02:16:57,640
Speaker 1: just actually get to the point. First things first, I

2739
02:16:57,720 --> 02:17:00,240
Speaker 1: don't even know why this offensive line question is coming up,

2740
02:17:00,680 --> 02:17:03,360
Speaker 1: especially seeing that we actually picked up two of Virginia

2741
02:17:03,400 --> 02:17:08,120
Speaker 1: Tech's top football player's top offensive lineman top defensive linebacker.

2742
02:17:08,560 --> 02:17:11,680
Speaker 1: Wyatt Teller is actually the key to this question as

2743
02:17:11,760 --> 02:17:14,199
Speaker 1: actually the answer to the question as well as beyond Dawkins,

2744
02:17:14,240 --> 02:17:16,760
Speaker 1: I really don't know how everybody's getting about him. Then,

2745
02:17:16,800 --> 02:17:19,480
Speaker 1: with a stud last year, you know. I mean, but

2746
02:17:19,720 --> 02:17:22,720
Speaker 1: as far as that's concerned, Yes, we're gonna miss and Cognito,

2747
02:17:22,760 --> 02:17:25,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna miss Wood, but we do have an answer.

2748
02:17:25,600 --> 02:17:27,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind of like the whole entire wide

2749
02:17:27,959 --> 02:17:30,000
Speaker 1: receiver thing. I was sitting there scroom for Dez Bryant

2750
02:17:30,000 --> 02:17:31,400
Speaker 1: to come to Buffalo. Now that I see what I

2751
02:17:31,480 --> 02:17:35,080
Speaker 1: saw in practice, I love what I see. We basically

2752
02:17:35,200 --> 02:17:37,800
Speaker 1: have a good core here. Now that's the same thing.

2753
02:17:37,840 --> 02:17:40,959
Speaker 1: While offensive line, we might miss Incognito, we might miss Wood,

2754
02:17:41,320 --> 02:17:45,000
Speaker 1: but we have Teller and Wealth. The defense is scary,

2755
02:17:45,400 --> 02:17:47,480
Speaker 1: and at first Hirod is concerned. If he wants to

2756
02:17:47,520 --> 02:17:48,760
Speaker 1: sit there and say he wants to beat us in

2757
02:17:48,800 --> 02:17:51,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs, I have a better on behalf of the

2758
02:17:51,320 --> 02:17:53,440
Speaker 1: Bill's mafia. I'll sit here and say, it'll be nice

2759
02:17:53,480 --> 02:17:56,680
Speaker 1: to see him sitting at home watching us play the

2760
02:17:56,720 --> 02:17:59,320
Speaker 1: first or the second round. And on that note, I'll

2761
02:17:59,320 --> 02:18:02,720
Speaker 1: see everybody, all right, Thanks Floyd, thanks for calling. Yeah,

2762
02:18:02,760 --> 02:18:05,199
Speaker 1: I didn't mind Lorenzo's right, I didn't mind Tyrod saying

2763
02:18:05,240 --> 02:18:07,480
Speaker 1: that what he told NFL Network that he'd love to

2764
02:18:07,480 --> 02:18:09,120
Speaker 1: play the Bills in the playoffs, love to beat them

2765
02:18:09,160 --> 02:18:11,840
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, he should say that. I think, you know,

2766
02:18:11,959 --> 02:18:14,480
Speaker 1: Tyrod's got his head on straight. That's the right answer,

2767
02:18:15,080 --> 02:18:16,760
Speaker 1: and that's the kind of answer that will keep him

2768
02:18:17,720 --> 02:18:19,480
Speaker 1: that in his play, will keep him on top of

2769
02:18:19,520 --> 02:18:21,560
Speaker 1: the depth chart there quarterback for the Cleveland Browns for

2770
02:18:21,560 --> 02:18:24,600
Speaker 1: at least a little while, I would think. But again,

2771
02:18:24,680 --> 02:18:27,280
Speaker 1: you know, Tyrode has played, started one playoff game and

2772
02:18:27,320 --> 02:18:31,240
Speaker 1: put up three points. You know he's not gonna scare

2773
02:18:31,280 --> 02:18:34,920
Speaker 1: anybody in the playoffs, right, So I'm glad Tyrode said

2774
02:18:34,959 --> 02:18:37,120
Speaker 1: what he said, But it's not I don't think it's out.

2775
02:18:37,160 --> 02:18:39,240
Speaker 1: A line doesn't scare anybody. It shouldn't, that's for sure.

2776
02:18:39,360 --> 02:18:41,039
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break. We got more coming up.

2777
02:18:41,120 --> 02:18:43,760
Speaker 1: One Bills Live from One Bill's Drive. We're presented by

2778
02:18:43,840 --> 02:18:58,880
Speaker 1: collt of Health and this is Buffalo Bills Radio. What

2779
02:18:59,000 --> 02:19:02,199
Speaker 1: do we learn from today's show? Presented by Advanced Alarm

2780
02:19:02,280 --> 02:19:04,760
Speaker 1: providing Western New York's homes and businesses with the find

2781
02:19:04,800 --> 02:19:07,480
Speaker 1: Us and Security and Home Theater, the preferred alarm at

2782
02:19:07,480 --> 02:19:09,600
Speaker 1: home theater provider of the Buffalo Bills. I'm just thinking

2783
02:19:09,680 --> 02:19:11,200
Speaker 1: during the break, you know, one thing I learned from

2784
02:19:11,240 --> 02:19:15,039
Speaker 1: today's show, I miss Steve during the breaks. It's always

2785
02:19:15,080 --> 02:19:16,840
Speaker 1: fun to talk to Steve Tasker during the breaks. It's

2786
02:19:16,879 --> 02:19:18,800
Speaker 1: good on the show as well, but during the breaks

2787
02:19:18,879 --> 02:19:21,920
Speaker 1: we have conversations about fun things, non Bill things. I

2788
02:19:22,040 --> 02:19:25,840
Speaker 1: miss him during the breaks, especially Steve is on vacation.

2789
02:19:25,879 --> 02:19:27,200
Speaker 1: They'll be back in a couple of weeks or so.

2790
02:19:27,280 --> 02:19:29,560
Speaker 1: We got a lot of vacation, a lot of vacation

2791
02:19:29,959 --> 02:19:31,959
Speaker 1: coming up here over the next couple of weeks. All right,

2792
02:19:32,000 --> 02:19:33,400
Speaker 1: what do we learning? What else do we learn from

2793
02:19:33,400 --> 02:19:38,080
Speaker 1: our guests? Armando Salgaro joined us from the Miami Harold.

2794
02:19:39,000 --> 02:19:40,880
Speaker 1: We asked him one of my favorite questions, because I

2795
02:19:41,040 --> 02:19:43,680
Speaker 1: don't think a whole lot about Dolphin, said coach Adam Gates.

2796
02:19:43,959 --> 02:19:46,200
Speaker 1: So I asked Armando Selgaro, what do you think of

2797
02:19:46,280 --> 02:19:49,120
Speaker 1: Adam Gates? Is he anything more than a glorified plate caller.

2798
02:19:49,200 --> 02:19:56,640
Speaker 1: Here's what Armando Selgaro said. He knows what his football

2799
02:19:56,680 --> 02:19:59,680
Speaker 1: team must look like. So he has a vision in

2800
02:19:59,760 --> 02:20:02,760
Speaker 1: his head of what he wants to put on the

2801
02:20:02,879 --> 02:20:06,920
Speaker 1: field and how he wants them to play, and he

2802
02:20:07,120 --> 02:20:10,520
Speaker 1: thinks that that is going to work. It's yet to

2803
02:20:10,680 --> 02:20:13,600
Speaker 1: be seen whether he can he's able to put that

2804
02:20:13,760 --> 02:20:17,520
Speaker 1: thing together to where on a Sunday afternoon at hard

2805
02:20:17,640 --> 02:20:22,240
Speaker 1: Rock Stadium. You see his vision manifesting, but at least

2806
02:20:22,320 --> 02:20:25,760
Speaker 1: he has a clue and a vision of what he wants.

2807
02:20:27,160 --> 02:20:30,240
Speaker 1: Armando se Garo from the Miami Herald. On Adam Gayson,

2808
02:20:30,400 --> 02:20:32,880
Speaker 1: we had Buffalo's head coach Sean McDermott in studio with

2809
02:20:32,959 --> 02:20:34,920
Speaker 1: us during the one o'clock hour after the final mini

2810
02:20:34,959 --> 02:20:37,720
Speaker 1: camp session. Now, he asked him for the assessment out

2811
02:20:37,760 --> 02:20:40,280
Speaker 1: of those three quarterbacks. Look, now, as you get ready

2812
02:20:40,280 --> 02:20:42,119
Speaker 1: to take the break before training camp, here's what John

2813
02:20:42,200 --> 02:20:47,400
Speaker 1: McDermott said. All three young men have worked extremely hard.

2814
02:20:47,520 --> 02:20:52,480
Speaker 1: They're active learners, and they're really excited to grow, and

2815
02:20:53,360 --> 02:20:56,800
Speaker 1: they love to take coaching their leaders in their own

2816
02:20:57,040 --> 02:21:01,080
Speaker 1: respective ways. You know, as I've said before, or Aj

2817
02:21:01,240 --> 02:21:03,080
Speaker 1: and Nate are working with the ones and twos, and

2818
02:21:03,280 --> 02:21:06,320
Speaker 1: Josh is working with the threes. Josh did work some

2819
02:21:06,520 --> 02:21:09,040
Speaker 1: with the ones this past week, will continue to do

2820
02:21:09,200 --> 02:21:13,480
Speaker 1: that periodically through training camp. So and we're just going

2821
02:21:13,520 --> 02:21:15,720
Speaker 1: to stick with the plan and adjust it where and

2822
02:21:15,800 --> 02:21:18,760
Speaker 1: when need be. But I've been pleased with the with

2823
02:21:18,920 --> 02:21:21,760
Speaker 1: the work that they've put into this point. Stick with

2824
02:21:21,959 --> 02:21:24,160
Speaker 1: the plan. There is a plan. I was trying to

2825
02:21:24,240 --> 02:21:26,480
Speaker 1: tell Tasker that a week ago, there's a plan. It's

2826
02:21:26,520 --> 02:21:28,760
Speaker 1: not you know, Tasker says, the best man wins and

2827
02:21:28,920 --> 02:21:30,640
Speaker 1: it will be that. But there is a plan I

2828
02:21:30,720 --> 02:21:33,440
Speaker 1: think for how they split up the reps over the

2829
02:21:33,959 --> 02:21:36,600
Speaker 1: well now in training camp, right going into training camp.

2830
02:21:37,000 --> 02:21:38,840
Speaker 1: On Twitter, we wanted you to think a little bit

2831
02:21:38,840 --> 02:21:42,440
Speaker 1: about where the Bills are, you know, personnel wise, roster wise,

2832
02:21:42,840 --> 02:21:45,560
Speaker 1: end of mini camp today, six weeks away from training camp.

2833
02:21:46,640 --> 02:21:48,840
Speaker 1: You know, not just who the Bills have lost, because

2834
02:21:48,879 --> 02:21:51,400
Speaker 1: we knew that several months ago, but how they intend

2835
02:21:51,520 --> 02:21:54,280
Speaker 1: on replacing those who they have lost. And so that's

2836
02:21:54,320 --> 02:21:56,640
Speaker 1: what got us to today's Twitter poll, and we had

2837
02:21:56,640 --> 02:22:00,600
Speaker 1: about seventeen eighteen hundred respondents. A question was pretty simple,

2838
02:22:00,879 --> 02:22:03,680
Speaker 1: what was the biggest offseason loss for the Buffalo Bills

2839
02:22:03,760 --> 02:22:08,480
Speaker 1: this year? And the answer were pretty overwhelmingly one sided.

2840
02:22:08,680 --> 02:22:10,840
Speaker 1: The loss of Eric Wood and Richie Incognito, the two

2841
02:22:10,840 --> 02:22:12,960
Speaker 1: of them. We made that one entry maybe that maybe

2842
02:22:12,959 --> 02:22:15,280
Speaker 1: we should have split those up. Would it be forty

2843
02:22:15,600 --> 02:22:18,360
Speaker 1: forty four? Because Wood an Incognito got eighty eight percent

2844
02:22:18,400 --> 02:22:20,160
Speaker 1: of the votes for the biggest offseason loss for the

2845
02:22:20,200 --> 02:22:24,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Five percent, said Tyrod Taylor. Five percent, said

2846
02:22:24,120 --> 02:22:28,000
Speaker 1: Preston Brown. Two percent had something else in mine. I

2847
02:22:28,080 --> 02:22:30,400
Speaker 1: guess that's right. You know, you lose those two players,

2848
02:22:30,440 --> 02:22:32,960
Speaker 1: a couple of capable players, and with Eric Wood in particular,

2849
02:22:33,400 --> 02:22:36,200
Speaker 1: you lose a big chunk of leadership. Lorenzo told us

2850
02:22:36,240 --> 02:22:39,240
Speaker 1: how Richie Incognito had his own way of being a leader,

2851
02:22:39,280 --> 02:22:43,160
Speaker 1: which was not inconsiderable. But in each one of those cases,

2852
02:22:43,480 --> 02:22:45,800
Speaker 1: there is an answer. Now does the answer pan out

2853
02:22:45,879 --> 02:22:48,240
Speaker 1: and answer the bills questions? We're gonna find out. For

2854
02:22:48,320 --> 02:22:51,039
Speaker 1: Wood an Incognito. You know the drill. It's Ryan Groy

2855
02:22:51,080 --> 02:22:52,800
Speaker 1: getting the reps at center at least through the end

2856
02:22:52,840 --> 02:22:57,560
Speaker 1: of the minicamp here with vlad Ducas moving from right

2857
02:22:57,600 --> 02:22:59,920
Speaker 1: guard to left guard and John Miller in the lineup

2858
02:23:00,360 --> 02:23:03,000
Speaker 1: at Reikard. That's what they have in mind. Is that

2859
02:23:03,120 --> 02:23:05,600
Speaker 1: a drop off from one and Incognito maybe to an extent.

2860
02:23:05,680 --> 02:23:08,720
Speaker 1: How much We'll figure that out as the summer comes up,

2861
02:23:09,000 --> 02:23:11,920
Speaker 1: as training camp comes up, Tyrod Taylor, they have three

2862
02:23:12,000 --> 02:23:14,400
Speaker 1: potential replacements there, and you know who they are. You

2863
02:23:14,480 --> 02:23:17,400
Speaker 1: know what that answer might be, Preston Brown, first round

2864
02:23:17,480 --> 02:23:20,359
Speaker 1: draft pick to look at now there, so there are losses,

2865
02:23:20,440 --> 02:23:22,040
Speaker 1: but at least you have a better sense now of

2866
02:23:22,320 --> 02:23:24,640
