Speaker 1: toternoon and I'm John Murphy. Is Steve Tasker. It is Wednesday.

10
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: The Bills are treating it on the football to sign

11
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,959
Speaker 1: anyway as a Friday as they get ready to play

12
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: a game in two days. That makes sense in a

13
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: weird way, Steve, doesn't it. Yeah, I mean the schedule

14
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: thing is really getting a little bit tedious in the preseason.

15
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: I mean, this is not Wednesday, this is Friday. Game

16
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: is on Sunday, which is Friday, right right, So they're

17
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: they're doing all that and now that we just we

18
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: heard from Sean McDermott a few minutes ago that there's

19
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: going to be some players that will continue to be out.

20
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: So they're going to continue to jump through hoops on

21
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: the offensive line and SEC he's not playing well, not playing,

22
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: he's hurt. Mitch Morrison the concussion protocol, So um and

23
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 1: second may play okay, Yeah, limited work today and they're

24
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: gonna determine the later on if he'll play Friday. But

25
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: Mitch Morris is out. You're right, he remains in concussion protocol. Yeah,

26
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: I'll believe in SEC he plays play. Yeah, and I

27
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: get it as fine too. They're gonna be fine on

28
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: the offensive line up front for at least for this game. Um,

29
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: you know, going forward, you want your best five out there.

30
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: And if those guys are healthy, you hope they can go.

31
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: If and if, um, you know, if they're not to

32
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: get to find some guys that can play. We'll see.

33
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: But I think this is gonna be a fun game

34
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: to play. I guess it's interesting too. I've heard this. Um,

35
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: is Matt Stafford gonna play in this game? I'm not sure.

36
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: I think so. He did not problem right, He hasn't

37
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: played yet, right, And neither is all these There's a

38
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: group of like twelve guys, a lot of starting quarterbacks

39
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: just have not taken a snap. I think they probably

40
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: all will in this game. Don't you think they gotta

41
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: get some some of these guys. Maybe not, I mean

42
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: you got like Brady or Roethlisberger and Breeze and Aaron Rodgers.

43
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: Maybe those guys don't need any any preseason snaps at all.

44
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: But if they're gonna take him, this is the week, right, Yep.

45
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: Maybe Matt Stafford falls into that category. I don't know,

46
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: but I think you gotta get those guys some work.

47
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: I think he got to. Well, this would be the

48
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: time to do it, right because the next week, next

49
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: week's games or a week from today, including the Bills

50
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: at home against Minnesota the final preseason game a week

51
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: from today. But we got preseason game number three coming

52
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: up on Friday night. Bills getting set to practice outside.

53
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: So four players ruled out of practice today and not

54
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: gonna play on Friday. That includes tight end Tyler Croft,

55
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: punter Corey Carter, cornerback Cam Lewis, and deep offensive tackled

56
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: DeAndre Wesley. Limited work today for Mitch Morse for ty

57
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: and Secky for tight end, Jason Krum for running back,

58
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: so noors Perry and for defensive injury use. Morris remains

59
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: in concussion protocol nowhere on one. He might be out

60
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: of concussion protocol. They're hoping next week, but he will

61
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: not play on Friday. Rookie tight end Dawson Knox is

62
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: going to practice again today. He will return to action

63
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: on Friday, get his first preseason action from his hamstring pole,

64
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: even though it might be on a limited basis on Friday.

65
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: And we'll hear from Sean McDermot in a moment or two.

66
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: We got a good show coming up here. We're gonna

67
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: go to Chris Brown on the practice field in a

68
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: couple of minutes here. Marcia Louis Jacque of ESPN their

69
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills ESPN Nation reporter will join us at one

70
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: o'clock today, and Dawson Knox on the practice field will

71
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: join us after practice round about two o'clock or so,

72
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: maybe earlier, because I think practice is going to be

73
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: a little bit shorter today. But Steve, the offensive line

74
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: issues remain, and you know what, as I think, Bag,

75
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: you were right, they will not have their offensive line

76
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: in place until the end of training camp. And I'll

77
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: tell you what. Foresee these injuries, no, I said they

78
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: were gonna take every last minute they could before they

79
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: set their offensive line. I didn't know it was going

80
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: to be Friday before opening day. They're not, They're gonna

81
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: be ready for two weeks yep. Right, Well, well, hopefully

82
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: you get a week's worth and I get injuries coming

83
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: in the in the mix. So maybe you know Inseci

84
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: and Mitch Morse or maybe somebody else at the time

85
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: that maybe having guys out they don't start the season

86
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: and which miss Mitch Morse may be headed towards. So yeah,

87
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was gonna be for that, but

88
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: I thought they'd take all the time they need to

89
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: get Chris Brown in on this. Chris Brown Bills Inside

90
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: or Buffalo Bills dot Com is out on the practice

91
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: field where the Bills are assembling, going through stretches right now. Chris,

92
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: Good afternoon. How are you doing today? Doing okay? Guys?

93
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: Mitch Morse news remaining in concussion protocol and we'll not

94
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: playing on Friday night right according to uh Sean Murtimer.

95
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: Just give us your update and what do you what

96
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: you are reading from all of this, if you would please. Chris, Yeah,

97
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: I mean, not not really full go because he's still

98
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: in the concussion protocol. Also certainly not in any position

99
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: to play in a game, let alone engage in full

100
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: contact here in the practice setting. So he was practicing,

101
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: but it's pretty much on a non contact basis until

102
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: he's medically cleared. So he's doing football related activities, but

103
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: obviously he's not engaging in the contact portions of practice,

104
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: which are pretty significant portions of practice. So the offensive

105
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: line here for the second straight day, left to right,

106
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna be Dion Dawkins, Quentin Spain, John Feliciano, Spencer Long,

107
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: and Cody Ford. So that's what it was yesterday. It

108
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: looks like that's what it's going to be again today,

109
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: and I would anticipate that's what it's going to be

110
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: going into Friday's game. And you know, you hope that

111
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: Morris can emerge from concussion protocol and be ready to go.

112
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't know when, but hopefully sooner rather

113
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: than later because the regular season's fast approaching. Yeah, let's

114
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,799
Speaker 1: and let's talk a little bit about Tie and Secky

115
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: as well. He's got a little bit more of a

116
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: knee issue, right, So, you know, as we first reported

117
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: down in the joint practice last week, he pulled out

118
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: of joint practices on Wednesday due to knee soreness, and

119
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: then did not play in the game, you know, on Friday.

120
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: So here we are and he's practicing and he's back participating,

121
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: which is a good sign, but he's limited And as

122
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: far as the game on Friday, when coach McDermott was

123
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: asked about that, he said, we'll see. So it's undetermined

124
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: as far as his status for Friday's game. And I

125
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: think what this does, guys, is it really kind of

126
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: throws a jumble into the starting five for the offensive line,

127
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: which they've been trying to nail down for the longest

128
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 1: time now when injuries continue to compromise that. You know,

129
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: if Mitch Morris is in the equation, you would assume

130
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: he'd be the starting center. But I think it's completely

131
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: up in the air that if Ti and Seki's fully healthy,

132
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: would he be the starting right tackle or would it

133
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: be Cody Ford. I think that's still very much up

134
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: for debate. And now, due to the lack of availability

135
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: for yet another game, which oh, by the way, is

136
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: the major dress rehearsal for the starting unit, if Inseci

137
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: can't play on Friday against Detroit, might he not be

138
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: a part of that starting lineup by default due to

139
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: lack of availability. This is not ideal, Chris, right, far

140
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: from it. How big it And we don't even know

141
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: at this point too, because we haven't seen the offensive

142
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: line as we might have anticipated it at the beginning

143
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: of training camp. We haven't seen them all. Five of

144
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: those guys played together at all, not even for one snap,

145
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: So there's no really no telling either how big of

146
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: a drop off it would be if all systems were go,

147
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: all guys playing their best. We don't even know what

148
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: that offensive line would look like, and we have no

149
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: idea what the drop off off could be with the group.

150
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna be fortunate, right, I mean, I hear you, Steve.

151
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: I think the one good thing here is that the

152
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: personnel department made a point in the off season of

153
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: not just acquiring guys. They looked for people with experience

154
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: in this league, starts in this league who have at

155
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: least three four years of experience as starters. So it's

156
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: not like you're throwing some schleps out there and hoping

157
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: that you know you have a good offensive line performance.

158
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: These are guys with pelts on the wall, who have

159
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: time in the league, who know what they're doing, and

160
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: I'm in trying not to be chicken little about the

161
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: offensive line. I hearkened back to what I heard from

162
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins the first day of training camp, and he

163
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: basically said, this is the best communication, the best execution

164
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: I've ever experienced on an offensive line this early in

165
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: training camp. I said, well, how far ahead do you

166
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: feel you guys are? He said, it's day one a camp.

167
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: It feels like week three. Now, hopefully that kind of

168
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 1: cohesiveness has continued through the course of training camp and

169
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: now into the cusp of the regular season, because I

170
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: think they're gonna need that to kind of weather what

171
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 1: they're going through right now with the injuries and the

172
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: lack of availability with some of their top guys. Yeah, well,

173
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: they've certainly got enough guys getting enough reps to find

174
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: out who they have and who would be the best

175
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: combination of guys. I know they've got guys that are

176
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: verse at old and resilient. They can move around. They'll

177
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: have five guys to line up. We just can't have

178
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: to wait and see if if they head down the

179
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: same you know bumpy road they did a year ago

180
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: where they show up with five guys they think complained.

181
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: They can't, right, I don't think I'm I don't think

182
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: I'm worried that it's going to look like that. I

183
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: was somewhat encouraged in the first two preseason performances by

184
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: the way the offensive line was able to reset the

185
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage at times, even without you know, Mitch

186
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: Morrison that lineup. So I think there is certainly more

187
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: talent here for the Bills to decide upon in terms

188
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 1: of who they're starting five are going to be with

189
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: respect to the offensive line, certainly in comparison to last year.

190
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: Where we are talking to Chris Brown, He's out on

191
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: the practice field, the Bills just getting started out there

192
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: in the stretch before practice us as they get set

193
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 1: for preseason game number three coming up on Friday Night

194
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: to Bills and the Detroit Lions. On the good news side,

195
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: Chris Dawson Knox, it sounds like the Bills plan on

196
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 1: getting him at least some limited work on Friday night.

197
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: That's gonna be interesting to watch, I believe, what do

198
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: you think? Yeah, I asked coach about that because I

199
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: had a chance to talk to Dawson in the locker

200
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: room after practice yesterday. I said, hey, are you Are

201
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: you full go, no limitations, you know, full workload here

202
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: in practice? He said, yeah, last two days. And I

203
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: asked him how it felt. He said, it's felt good,

204
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: not really thinking about it. I asked him, also, do

205
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 1: you feel like the athletic training staff was extra cautious

206
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: and maybe held you out longer than you would have liked?

207
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: And he said, I got that feeling, yes, he said,

208
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: because I was itching to get back in there. I

209
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: felt I was good to go, and they made me wait,

210
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: you know, a few more days before they let me

211
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 1: get back on the field. Because, as we know, guys,

212
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: hamstrings are really tricky. It feels good you can build

213
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: up your speed and perform out on the field, but

214
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: we all know the explosive nature that is required of players,

215
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: particularly skill position players in this game, and the minute

216
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: you feel like you're all the way back from a

217
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: hamstring injury and then you have to burst or cut

218
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: quickly and drive off that leg. If you come back

219
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: too soon, you can pull it again. And so I

220
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: think that was the aim there to try to avoid that,

221
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 1: especially on the heels of a hamstring injury to Jason

222
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: Krum where he came back after five weeks layoff, first

223
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: day a training camp and you know, had a recurrence

224
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: with his hamstring injury. So I think the athletic training

225
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: staff took a very, very cautious approach with Dawson. So hopefully,

226
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: you know, he can carry these couple of days of

227
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: practice into the game on Friday and play a respectable

228
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: amount of reps. You have to believe they want to

229
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: see what he can offer at that position from a

230
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: pass catching perspective, with all the encouraging signs we saw

231
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: from him in the spring, and I think it sets

232
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 1: up kind of a really fun competition I guess between

233
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox and Tommy Sweeney, right, I mean, I guess

234
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: both of them could make the fifty three man roster.

235
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: They may have to given the injuries, but that would

236
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: be fun to watch. Which you know, third rounder, seventh rounder?

237
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: Which one do you like the best? I guess, yeah,

238
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think they offer different things.

239
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: I think Tommy Sweeney is good in a lot of

240
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: areas and offers you flexibility in terms of your play calling,

241
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: in terms of your alignments and your personnel groupings, where

242
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: I think Dawson Knox is more of the game breaking

243
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: pass catching type. The kid can really run, and so

244
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: I anticipate that that's going to kind of be his

245
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: primary focus, especially in light of all the time that

246
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: he has missed in terms again reps on the field. Yeah,

247
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: what else is going? Did you get a chance to

248
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: listen to Sean mcdermot's comments today, Did you take anything

249
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: earth shattering or surprising or what caught your attention about

250
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: what he said before practice? Well, I mean, I think

251
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: the offensive line was naturally front and center after he

252
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: announced that Morris was not going to be playing on Friday.

253
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: And obviously he can't say much about Mitch's situation because

254
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: when a players in the concussion protocol, you're kind of

255
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: prohibited from expanding on anything. He's hoping that the end

256
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: of this week is good for Mitch, which may put

257
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: him on track, you know, to return to the lineup

258
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: at some time next week and hopefully get out of

259
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,599
Speaker 1: concussion protocol. But nobody really knows where it's going to

260
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: go because every case is different. As you know, Steve

261
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: with concussions and then in Secci's absence or limitations anyway

262
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: with his knees soreness compromised that whole thing and that's

263
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: kind of what carried the day. But there were some

264
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: other notes with respect to Friday night's game. I asked

265
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: coach about, you know, how Frank Gore and Lashawn McCoy

266
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: are going to be used on Friday against the Lions,

267
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: knowing those two guys alternated between game one and game two,

268
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 1: Gore getting Game one, McCoy getting Game two in the preseason,

269
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 1: with the other guys just sitting and watching. And he all,

270
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 1: he doesn't know exactly what their workload is going to be,

271
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 1: but he said each of them will get more work

272
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: than they each had in the first two preseason games, respectively.

273
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: So it'd be interesting to see those guys behind this

274
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: offensive line going against Detroit. Hey, Chris, let's talk about

275
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: running back for a second and go to a discussion

276
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: if we can about a guy, yea Christian Wade we

277
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: talked about yesterday, his status and how if he winds

278
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: up on the Buffalo practice squad as the International Pathway

279
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: Program player, the eleventh practice squad member, how he gets there.

280
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: You've done little spade work on this. Can you tell

281
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: us what you found out? That's right, Yes, we did

282
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: get to the bottom of it. Has promised Murph. So essentially,

283
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: when he assuming he's cuts from the ninety player roster

284
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: when they go down to fifty three. If he is

285
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: cut at that time, he is open to a waiver

286
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: claim by any team in the league if they want

287
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: to put him a on their active roster, So he's

288
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: open to be signed to an active roster spot at

289
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: that time. Now, the Bills after that twenty four hour

290
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: waiver period can add him to their practice squad, but

291
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: they have two ways to do that. They can add

292
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: him as an active member of their practice squad, which

293
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: would mean he would be like any other practice squad member,

294
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: but he would count towards that ten player total, and

295
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: that would make him eligible to be called up to

296
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: the active roster if they had a shortage of running

297
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: backs or something to that effect. But if they sign

298
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: him to their practice squad with an international player contract,

299
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: then he essentially sits on their practice squad as the

300
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: eleventh player. He cannot be elevated to the active roster,

301
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: nor can he be signed away from the Bills by

302
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: any other NFL club. So basically, if he signs the

303
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: international player contract to be on the team's practice squad

304
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo, it's like a safe haven for him

305
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: to learn the game and kind of develop his personal

306
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: game in the NFL. But to get there, he does

307
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: have to be exposed to waivers for that twenty four

308
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: hour period, right yep. And how Steve and I have

309
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: been battling this around, it seems unlikely that during that

310
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: twenty four hour period, another NFL team might be willing

311
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: to sign him, right or no? What do you think? Yeah?

312
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: I would be surprised from this standpoint. And we've talked

313
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: about this before. Guys. You've got a running back who

314
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: three months ago didn't know what an A, A B

315
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: or a C gap was. He's been spending the last

316
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: three months cramming this offensive system into his brain. And

317
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: I think to jump to another team and try to

318
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: learn a new system on the fly in the beginning

319
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: of September. I'm not saying he can't do it, but

320
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: I think it would be a supreme effort on his

321
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: part to make that work and contribute to a team

322
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: in some way, shape or form. I just think that's

323
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: a big hill to climb. And all that being said,

324
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: what it surprised you if the Bills in there, you know,

325
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: is they get ready for this game and maybe even

326
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: more importantly in the fourth preseason game, maybe they want

327
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: to get a longer look at Christian Wade, right, I

328
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't blame him if they wanted to get another look more.

329
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: What do you think? Yeah, that that question. That question

330
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: was posed to coach McDermott today and he didn't really

331
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: provide a direct answer as to whether that would happen

332
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: or not. And so it's kind of hard to get

333
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: a read on what the coaching staff is looking to

334
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: do with Christian at this point in time. Because even

335
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: after the last preseason game, when we were looking for

336
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 1: a reaction from coach because you know, we know his

337
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 1: first NFL carry went for a sixty five yard touchdown

338
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: and then his first NFL reception the next week goes

339
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: for forty eight yards and almost another touchdown, and all

340
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: coach would offer was it's awesome. That was his answer.

341
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: So who knows. I mean, maybe this is a guy

342
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: that maybe they're they like more than they're letting on

343
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: and maybe he will be given some some serious consideration

344
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: for maybe being a regular practice squad player to at

345
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: least give the team the option to elevate him at

346
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: some point in time. If they feel he's worthy, or

347
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 1: maybe they truly feel this is too big a mountain

348
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: to climb from a mental perspective to come in and

349
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: execute in the regular season capably despite his physical skill set.

350
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: It's hard to know just what they're thinking because there

351
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: haven't been very detailed answers that give you a clear

352
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: picture as to just what they think of him, aside

353
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: from the fact that they respect his work ethic and

354
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: the time he's put in to try to make it

355
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: work well. He may get more snaps in the fourth

356
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: preseason game, but I think this preseason game, and Chris,

357
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: tell me what you think, this is about the ones

358
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: and the twos. This game, they're gonna get a lot

359
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: of snaps all the way past halftime. I think the

360
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: second half of this game, you're gonna see Matt Barkley

361
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: and the guys that he plays with. I don't think

362
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: you'll see much of guys like Christian Wade or much

363
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: of guys like Tyree Jackson. I think this is about

364
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: getting Frank Gore, Lashawn McCoy, you know, Chris DeMarco ready

365
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: to play in their preseat in the opener on September eighth.

366
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: I think it's about getting guys like ed All Oliver

367
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: and Starlow two lay ready to get You know, I

368
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: think it's about the top guys on the roster this week. Yeah,

369
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question about that. This is

370
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: widely known as the dress rehearsal for the starters, and

371
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: that's this is where the focus shifts. Now. Yes, there

372
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 1: will still be evaluations late in the game to be

373
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: made for those bubble type players. But but on the

374
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: whole the third preseason game, the focus is getting your

375
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: starters ready for the regular season because there most of

376
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: them are not going to see the field next week

377
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: in the final preseason game at all, because Brown joins

378
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: us from the practice field. The Bills getting warmed up

379
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: for their Wednesday afternoon practice, got a game on Friday

380
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: and Detroit against the Detroit Lions. Can we talk about punters,

381
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: Chris or are you one of those who refuses to

382
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: talk about punters. We can do that. We can do that.

383
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: I got a lot of respect for guys that use

384
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: their feet. So Corey Mohrquez. Now Corey Carter has essentially

385
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: been ruled out right, what's the nature of his injury?

386
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: By the way, I don't recall Yeah, he didn't get

387
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 1: a description of what that injury is. In this timing year,

388
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: teams do not have to disclose the location of the

389
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: injury because we're still technically in preseason, so we don't

390
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: know what it is. You know, you've got to believe

391
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: it's it's got to be a lower body injury. Knowing

392
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: what he does for a living here, you know, he's coach.

393
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 1: McDermott said he's been generally happy with what each of

394
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: those guys have done. He farwell. Special Teams coordinator yesterday

395
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,239
Speaker 1: after practice said both of them have improved through the

396
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: course of the preseason. But this is terrible timing. Yeah,

397
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: it is, Corey Carter, because you know, you've got a

398
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: situation where now in the biggest dress rehearsal game of

399
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: the preseason, Bojoe as they call him, Corey Bojorquez is

400
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: going to get the full game to really kind of

401
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: put his talents on display. And if he has a

402
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: good game, I mean, who knows, it could very well

403
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: be the difference in what has been a nip and

404
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: tuck punting competition. But on the other hand, if it

405
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: is that close, there's nothing that says Corey Carter can't

406
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: get well and come back and get the entire fourth

407
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: preseason game, and if they're that close, Corey Carter might

408
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: punt the ball fifteen times in the fourth preseason game.

409
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: I mean, let's face it, nobody's gonna be making first down. Yeah. Well,

410
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: and it was and it was interesting too because you

411
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: could tell he's farwell. Was a little disappointed that there

412
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: were only three punts in the entire game last week

413
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: against Carolina. I think he was hoping for more of

414
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: a body of work to evaluate than just three punts

415
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 1: in the entire game against Carolina, But that was kind

416
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: of the hand he was dealt. So he said, yeah,

417
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: you know, it was good that our offense was moving

418
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: so well, but it wasn't great in terms of evaluating

419
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: the punters because they only had three kicks at the Cats.

420
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: So it's going to be interesting to see how much

421
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: work Behore has gets the kind of performance he has,

422
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: and then if it's still a dead heat, you know,

423
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: when we get to the end of the preseason, I

424
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 1: don't think we can rule out this team taking a

425
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: look at the waiver wire. I mean, we know the

426
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: Patriots just cut their veteran punter the other day. Ryan Allen.

427
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: So you know there are going to be veterans out there, presumably,

428
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: So you know, I don't think we can rule that

429
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: out as an option either. All Right, I'll wait another

430
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: week before I ask any more punter questions to Chris.

431
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: We don't have a quota. It's fine, you know whatever

432
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: you got. Thank you, Chris, good talking with you, Brownie.

433
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: All right, guys, Chris Brown, Bills inside or Buffalo Bills

434
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: dot Com on the practice field today, beautiful day in

435
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: Orchard Park, Bills getting set to play this Friday night. Yeah,

436
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, the the big news obviously today

437
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: is Mitch Moore's remaining in concussion protocol. No word on

438
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: when he might be out of concussion protocol. Will not

439
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: play on Friday. And again, like Chris, you don't want

440
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: to jump the gun here, but you think, man, I

441
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: wish I could have had some kind of work for

442
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: this offensive line as a unit one, if not two games.

443
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen, That's right, and it's it's disappointing

444
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: given the fact that they put all the time and

445
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: effort into sinking assets into the offensive line all offseason.

446
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: They got all these guys, they made Mitch Morris, the

447
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: highest paid center in the league, and he lasted a

448
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 1: half of practice in training camp. Uh, and nobody really

449
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: knows why or that can pinpoint the instance where he

450
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: got hit. That's pretty concerning. Plus the fact that he's

451
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: been out for a month with the symptoms. Yeah, that's

452
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: pretty that's pretty concerning it tomorrow. Yeah, and so it's um,

453
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: it seems like those symptoms are hanging around for a

454
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: long time. And then of course Tie and Secki, who

455
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: you know, just up and was practicing well and really

456
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 1: was part of the mix up all the way into

457
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: last week. Now he's out. Uh, So two of the

458
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,199
Speaker 1: guys that we had, you know, you had kind of

459
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: think had a shot Mitch more certainly Tie and Seki,

460
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: and certainly you thought he might have a chance of

461
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: being the starting right tackle on this group. Both those

462
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: guys in the third preseason game, just when you think

463
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: you're gonna be hitting your stride, um and they and

464
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: the Bills are hitting their stride in a lot of

465
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: places on their roster. Uh, those guys come up lame

466
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: and it's uh, it's yeah, it's a bummer. Hey. Coach

467
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott talked about Mitch More. It's just about forty

468
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: five minutes ago when he met with the media. Here's

469
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: the latest on the Bills the starting center from Sean McDermott.

470
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: He's in the protocol. Um, he continues to progress within

471
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 1: the protocol. But the goal is to um have a

472
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: good end of the week and then into next week.

473
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: So um with that, I'll open it up to your questions.

474
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 1: So when you say the goal is to have a

475
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: good end of the week and then the next week,

476
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: are you you probably can't say yeah, I mean, are

477
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: you targeting the opener? Are you feeling well? What do

478
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: you feel about you? Yeah? I mean just now, I

479
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: can't just just take it one day at a time.

480
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: He looked yesterday and responded to being out there the contact. Yeah,

481
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, again within the with within the

482
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: context of the protocol. I thought he progressed in that.

483
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: In that regard, there's the concussion Protocol, the greatest thing

484
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 1: that's ever happened for coaches to guys don't want to

485
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 1: talk about it in the protocol. Can I say, yeah, well,

486
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: the progressed fol the protocol. Yeah, that's that's my new

487
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: favorite word, concussion protocol. So what does that mean for

488
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: the rest of the offensive line. Sean McDermott talked about

489
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: that what to leave him with Mitchmore still out in

490
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: his offensive line Outlook, here's what the head coach of

491
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: the Bill said. It really hasn't changed. I mean, I

492
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: think the benefit of it is and that's kind of

493
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: what we look at is we've developed some movable parts

494
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: that guys that are can change, can change positions, and

495
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: I have shown us the mental capability to do that.

496
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: And I think it's built up a certain level of

497
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: resiliency amongst the group and toughness which I appreciate. Just

498
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: like every other position group, the tight ends and at

499
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: the cornerbacks, all those guys. When somebody goes down or

500
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: somebody like E. J. Gaines being injured and guys move up,

501
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: it's an opportunity for somebody. And on all the other

502
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: issues instances, and I think this offensive line, you know, example,

503
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: is the same thing. You're gonna have players played pretty

504
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: well behind these guys and you're gonna find out something. Now,

505
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: certainly sometimes you find out they can't play, and you

506
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: really do need those guys that are hurt. But I

507
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: think as it hasn't been all of that on the

508
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 1: offensive line, we've seen guys play really well and they

509
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: found out about some guys they didn't know about. So

510
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: I think that's in play here, no question. But I

511
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: still think this is far from where the Bills envisioned

512
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: this going when the training camp kicked off. Yeah, all right,

513
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a break. We want to let you

514
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: know what we're talking about today. We got a Twitter

524
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 1: your mind. But what do you want to see the

525
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: most in preseason game number three? On Twitter? As we've said,

526
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: more than three hundred fifty vote and thirty four percenting

527
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: you say you're most looking forward to the ongoing tight

528
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: end competition. Okay, thirty percent say you want to see

529
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 1: the offensive line battle. Twenty four percent want to see

530
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: more Josh Allen to Cole Beasley. Twelve percent want to

531
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: see more defensive success. What do you think of that?

532
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: I think that's a really good Twitter poll right there.

533
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 1: It's close, It is close, and there's a lot of

534
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: stuff in there that I want to I want to

535
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: see more Island to Beasley as well. I want to

536
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 1: see the tight end competition. I want to see Dawson Knox.

537
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: We're in a chance to see him maybe a few

538
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 1: snaps this week. The offensive line battle, that's that never

539
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: goes away until until the season opener. We see how

540
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: they play. So just what we've been talking about. Yeah,

541
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 1: there's a lot of a lot to look at. I

542
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: think obviously not too many people are that interested in

543
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: the defense. I think everybody in Bill's country right now

544
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: is kind of taking the defense as a given. Maybe

545
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: that's dangerous thing to do, but given what's happened, it's

546
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: pretty understanding. I got some thoughts on the defense, in

547
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: particular the defensive depth. Can I share that with you

548
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: when we come back from from the break. I can't wait.

549
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's great, it's just over. Let's

550
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 1: here it all right, we'll talk about it when we

551
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,479
Speaker 1: come back. Give us a call. We love to discuss

552
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: with you. What are you looking forward the most? Looking

553
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: forward to seeing the most? On Friday Night? Where the

558
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. Welcome back down, Murphy, Steve Tansker, One Bills

559
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: Live from One Bill's Drive. Bills practicing outdoors. Got a

560
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: game on Friday. We're doing the show here tomorrow and

561
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: then we're off motoring for Detroit. Will do the show

562
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: in Detroit on Friday. Here's what I'm thinking about. The

563
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo defense is not Revolutionariesteve defense has played well right

564
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: down the line. I think maybe the threes you can

565
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: find some holds. But the one thing one positive, and

566
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: we're only midway through the preseason games, but I think

567
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: the Bills have found some serious depth on the defensive

568
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: side of the ball. I really do. I mean, they're

569
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: they're worried, not worried about They're working in a backup

570
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: nickel corner right now, right, Captain Munel and probably gonna

571
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: get a real good look at that, uh, sir, and

572
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: Neil has had a good look at that. Um. They've

573
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: they've gotten not two, but really three solid corners. Levi

574
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: Wallace has had a great summer so far, and obviously

575
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: trode Avieus has settled. But you're really getting good work

576
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: from um. Um Kevin Johnson, Yeah, there's that. There's backup

577
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: linebackers Corey Thompson and others, Dean Lacy, Plead well the

578
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: other night. Uh, Jordan Phillips, Harrison Phillips, Judy. Here's my point.

579
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: They have assembled really good depth on the defensive side

580
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: of the ball. It shows in the preseason games. A

581
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: year ago they were you know, they were bringing in corners.

582
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: Uh uh. Levi Walls is an undrafted rookie agent. A

583
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: year ago they signed a corner and started them a

584
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: couple of weeks later. Right. I mean, it's just a

585
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: different setup than it was a year ago. And I

586
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: don't think that's talked about a whole lot. That's my road.

587
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: Their defense is set up have really quality depth, and

588
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that grab grabbed me

589
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: and you mentioned him right off the top. Levi Wallace

590
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: is sitting there at the corner opposite Tardavious White. He's

591
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: holding off Kevin Johnson, who's a number one, who's a

592
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: first round pick in the NFL. That's those are the

593
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: measurables he has. He's an athlete, he's got four years

594
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: of experience. Levi Wallace a second year guy. He's that's

595
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: his job. I mean, that's a that's something, that's really something,

596
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: because let's face it, this is a coaching staff man. Nope,

597
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: unplugged guys and plug guys in. It does. If you're

598
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,239
Speaker 1: earning it, you're gonna get it. They had Oliver earned it.

599
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: He moved ahead of Jordan Phillips. You know, these guys

600
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: move of guys up when they play well. And Levi

601
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: Wallace ain't going anywhere. A year ago, three weeks in

602
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: going to Minnesota, right, the Bills are owing two. Three

603
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: weeks in, they had just signed Ryan Lewis to the roster.

604
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: He was on their practice squad, I think, or when

605
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: the season began, had to sign him to the active

606
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: roster and start him against Minnesota. Ryan Lewis is fighting

607
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: to make the fifty three man roster. Now a year ago,

608
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: they were in a position where they had to drag

609
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: him in essentially off the street and start him in

610
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: a game in Week three. That they've got depth build

611
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: here that they did not have on the defensive side

612
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: of the ball. Oh, by the way, the second, you know,

613
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: most productive defense in the NFL by one measure, one

614
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: good measure last year anyway, So I'm just saying it's

615
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: kind of an unreported acknowledge event that has happened here

616
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: in the last month of training camp. They have established

617
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: themselves as a pretty good defense. I mean, Eddie Yarbro,

618
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, is fighting for his life. Mike Love spent

619
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: the whole offseason. We talked about a couple of times

620
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: during the offseason, is look out for this guy. He

621
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: could make a move. And now Mike Love is being

622
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: challenged by the rookie seventh round pick Bam Johnson. There's

623
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: there's good depth on this defense, right, got some guy.

624
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: And I think one of the reasons it's I'm not

625
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: making excuses and it's not really important as to why

626
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: nobody's talking about it. Most people are just taking it

627
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: for granted that, hey, we got a good defense. They

628
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: got all these guys coming back from a defense it

629
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: was ranked number two in the league last year. Let's go.

630
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: You know they're ready to do that. The Bills haven't

631
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: stood pat particularly since they spent the first round pick

632
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: of the draft getting a guy on that side of

633
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: the bowl. It's just a much deeper defense, it really is.

634
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you this too. They may be, and

635
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: I expect them to be a much better defense this year,

636
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: even though they're returning ten starters and all that, you know,

637
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: all the stuff that's kind of the same, the same

638
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: system at all. I think they're gonna be a much

639
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: better defense this year, mainly because of guys like Ed

640
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: Oliver and Tremaine Edmonds being a second year into this thing.

641
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you this and this, and it sounds

642
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: crazy when you put it out there, but I don't

643
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: think they'll be. You can't expect to be the number

644
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: two defense in the league. Yeah, I don't think that.

645
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: In fact, I probably think they're not gonna be. Last year.

646
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: Remember we had that big thing. I think they're gonna

647
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: be a top ten defense and they ended up being that.

648
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: But and they were better than I thought they were.

649
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: I mean nobody saw it coming. I don't think they're

650
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: gonna be that ranked as highly this year, but I

651
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: think we're gonna be happier with their performance. I think

652
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna be as harder for them to be ranked

653
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: as high as they were a year ago, because I

654
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: think the Bills offense is going to force teams to

655
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: roll the dice a little bit. And when teams do that,

656
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: when good teams, talented teams like they have in the NFL,

657
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: start to roll the dice against your defense, when they

658
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: start to try, I think you're you're gonna give up

659
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: some plays. I think the Bill's defense is going to

660
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: be put under a lot more pressure this year because

661
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: of the quality of offenses. They're gonna face, the desperation

662
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: of the offenses they're gonna face than they were a

663
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: year ago. I think they're gonna be in facing teams

664
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to score more points to beat them. Now,

665
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: let's face it. Last year, this is a team that

666
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: got hit in a mouth hard about three or four times.

667
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: They got blown out of the building. I don't know

668
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: three times, what was it three times? Maybe the opening

669
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: day against Baltimore, the Chargers game in the Bears game

670
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: and the Indianapolis game. So there's like four games where

671
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: they got they got run out. They're gonna be facing

672
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: more teams playing offense like those teams against them, rather

673
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: than the team teams like you know that didn't play

674
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: very good offense against me. You know they're gonna these

675
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: teams are gonna be under some some darress against this

676
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: Bill's defense to score some points. Last year, I don't

677
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,439
Speaker 1: think that pressure was there, So I think it's gonna

678
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 1: reflect in their in there. I guess what I'm saying

679
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: is I'm it's gonna reflect in their ranking at the

680
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: end of next year. This year, I don't think that

681
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: be the number two defense. Maybe that maybe they'll be

682
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: a top five or top ten for sure. But I

683
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: think I think they're gonna We're gonna like this defense

684
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: better than we did even last year's number two defense.

685
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: I guess that's my point, and it's it's deeper. Yeah,

686
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 1: I think I think we're gonna make more plays. Hey,

687
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: we got an interesting Twitter poll that's up. What are

Speaker 1: Where you want me to, I'll do it. Let me

702
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: give you the first one from Brian. He says, I'm

703
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: looking to see Alan carry over his success from week

704
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: two and three. I'm also excited to watch our young

705
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: talent like Corey Thompson and Darryl Johnson make plays as well.

706
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think there's a lot of things to watch.

707
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: We've seen some flashes. Darryl Johnson, Bam Johnson is a guy.

708
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: I want to watch us. We've said it all through

709
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: training camp and I kind of I kind of hate

710
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 1: saying it again. The coaching staff. Neat from guys like

711
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: Daryl Johnson, from Ed Oliver, from the young players on

712
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: the team. They want Cody Ford, they want consistency. I

713
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: see Darryl Johnson making some plays and getting some sacks.

714
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: Do it every do it in the run plays away

715
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 1: from the ball. Do it you know, when you're not

716
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: the center of attention. We don't get a free run

717
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: to the quarterback, you know. I see him doing some

718
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: stuff against an offensive line one on one. I want

719
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: to I want to see these guys do it consistently.

720
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: Two weeks in a row, Daryl Johnson has made a

721
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: play a strip sack fumble in Carolina, a great up

722
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: and undermovie, had a couple of great moves, forced a

723
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:16,280
Speaker 1: quick throw, and he had two sacks against against Indianapolis.

724
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: That that's the kind of play I want to see

725
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: him make every week. He's done it two weeks in

726
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,800
Speaker 1: a row. I'm sure he's practicing, okay, But when you

727
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: talk about Johnson, when you talk about Ed Oliver, when

728
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 1: you talk about Cody Ford, Devin single Terry, I want

729
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: to see these guys do it every single week. That's

730
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: what the coaches are looking for. If they do that, Murph,

731
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,280
Speaker 1: you can't keep him off the field. They gotta play

732
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be contributors. But you gotta find that

733
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: out now. One more film to tweet sheet from Scott

734
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: wants to see the tight end competition, mainly because we

735
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: have not seen Knox or Croome. Second is Josh Allen.

736
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: Third is defensive success. Don't know if you're gonna see

737
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: Jason Croom this week is even officially ruled out. No,

738
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,439
Speaker 1: I don't think officially officially limited work today. They don't

739
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 1: know about the Friday yet. But you will get a

740
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: chance to see Dawson Knox. We do have him on

741
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 1: the show coming up after practice today about one thirty five.

742
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: So funny, I like the next round the tweet sheet. Okay,

743
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: I say it's funny that this is. I love it.

744
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: From Brian, he says, I want to see the opposite

745
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 1: of Cole Beasley and Josh Allen. I want to see

746
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: the rocket arm to Smokey better yet Zay and Foster

747
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 1: McCoy running forward, not sideways into the dirt. Yeah, I

748
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: want to He wants to see big plays in the path.

749
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: Let's go let it lose. Okay, that's great, good stuff.

750
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: I get it. If we're watching football let's see it.

751
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: Let's see football. Yeah, one thing to think about about

752
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: Friday nights game, and look, the Bills faced the Colts

753
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: without Andrew Luck. They faced the Panthers aout Cam Newton.

754
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: As you point out, they will probably get a look

755
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: at Matthew Stafford right this Friday night and many of

756
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: those ones. I watched the first half last night of

757
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: the Detroit game at Houston last week, and virtually nobody played.

758
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: They started Josh Johnson, thirty one year old journeyman quarterback

759
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: Josh Johnson was here for a little bit. Steve an

760
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: incredible stat. I kind of hope he plays a little

761
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: bit Friday so I get the chance to say this.

762
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: He's in his seventh year in the league and he's

763
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: on his thirteenth team. Is that amaz gotta be a

764
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:13,439
Speaker 1: rat right? Thirteen? Yeah, he started the game last last week.

765
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 1: I think it was Saturday night in Houston. I don't

766
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 1: know what their plans are quarterback yet for this week

767
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,399
Speaker 1: for the just right lines, but we anticipate you'll see

768
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford right and some of the first teamers, and

769
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: I think and the first team offensive line did play

770
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: last week. But that'll be good for the Buffalo defense

771
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: to be tested. You know, we talked about all the depth.

772
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: We think they have to be tested a little bit,

773
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: to have the offense tested against a decent Detroit defense

774
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: in front the guys on the radio earlier this morning,

775
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: they were saying, Hey, the Bill's defense might go through

776
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,320
Speaker 1: this whole off seat. If Matt Stafford doesn't play it,

777
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: they won't face a starting quarterback all preseasons. Right, it's

778
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: not at all yet. Yeah, that's going on around the NFL. Yeah,

779
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: it's not new. I got the least. What do you

780
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: got there? This is this is all this. These are

781
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks who have not taken a single solitary snap

782
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: in a preseason game thus far. And it's the usual suspects,

783
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: you know, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger,

784
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, you got Andrew Luck because he's injured, U,

785
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,919
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, and then you got the rest of these

786
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: guys like Matt Stafford, Jared Goff, Mitch Trubisky, Carson Wentz,

787
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: the guy in Jacksonville, I can't think of his name. Yeah, yeah, anyway,

788
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, Trubisky in Chicago, Nick Foles, Nick Foles I'm

789
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: sitting there looking at his picture. I can't remember his name,

790
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: recognize I can't. I do recognize Nick Foles. I just

791
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: couldn't think of his name. All twelve of those guys,

792
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: none of them have taken even a single solitary snap.

793
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, I get it, Aaron Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Breese, I

794
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: get even Cam Newton coming off shoulders, and you know

795
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:52,800
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck he probably would have, but he's not healthy. Okay,

796
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:57,240
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, these guys don't need reps. All these other guys. Yeah,

797
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: maybe Mitch Trubisky's not taking any snaps, hasn't yet. That'll

798
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: change to me, that it's his third year. That'll change

799
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 1: this week, right, won't it. I would think all of

800
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 1: those guys would start and play significant snaps this week.

801
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: I may be wrong now. Andrew Luck is not going

802
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: to play. He's injured, like I said, But you know,

803
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: Goff Carson Wentz, why would they not be doing it,

804
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: Nick Foles, with a new system, new players, wouldn't you

805
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: guy to get him some live snaps? You can think,

806
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,879
Speaker 1: you know, Mitch True, I can't believe Trubisky's not taking snaps, right,

807
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: I mean that guy still needs reps. He threw for

808
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,919
Speaker 1: an average of like two hundred yards a game last year.

809
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: You know, I mean it's they had a really good team,

810
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: and I get and I get, but he seems to

811
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 1: me like he'd be a guy a little bit like

812
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: Josh Allen needs some reps or Josh Allen's like him.

813
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: Whatever you want to say, you know, I don't know.

814
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. What do you want to see? What

830
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: the last day or two Steve about the XFL. It's

831
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: gonna begin playing next February. The official team names are

832
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: out with logos. Here we go. Who cares? I gotta

833
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: tell you if I'm the exact if I'm the reverse

834
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: barometer for this league, like I was with the AAF,

835
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 1: I thought the AAF could not miss. I thought it

836
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: was just a home run. Awesome, your great idea, well

837
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,320
Speaker 1: well thought out. All the problems that have been with

838
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: other leagues were sold with this league. And I thought

839
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 1: the AAF was just great and it didn't last a season.

840
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: So if I'm the reverse barometer for this this league

841
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: is gonna be wildly successful, because I could not tell

842
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: you how uninterested I am anyway. But here are the teams.

843
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: The Dallas Renegades, the DC Washington DC Defenders, the Houston Roughnecks,

844
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Wildcats, the New York Guardians, the Seattle Dragons,

845
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: the Saint Louis BattleHawks, which that might be my favorite

846
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: favorite mascot, and the Tampa Bay Vipers. The Renegades Defenders, Roughnecks, Wildcats, Guardians, Dragons, BattleHawks,

847
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: and Vipers. And I can't tell you I was so

848
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 1: into the AA, you know, and I could not This

849
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: is like, this isn't this is the most interesting thing

850
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: about this league. That is just the curiosity of what

851
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 1: they're gonna call these guys. Because I am not gonna

852
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: been a single minute watching this game. You say that now,

853
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: but when we get to February and the NFL season

854
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,879
Speaker 1: is closing down, you might have a different age. Yeah,

855
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: roll this tape in February when I ways say I

856
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: want to do that because I this I have no

857
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: faith it's gonna work. The other league had it all

858
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: figured out, and this one pops up. Say we got

859
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 1: a better because we got one guy who owns it

860
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: and I like Vince Hey, Vince McMahon, great guy. I

861
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:24,320
Speaker 1: don't you know. I'm not a wrestling guy either, But

862
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:29,439
Speaker 1: that's it's not gonna it's not gonna work. You don't

863
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: think I wouldn't. I'm not going to write it off,

864
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: which means which means gonna be wild was successful, because

865
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 1: if I think it's not gonna work, this thing's gonna

866
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 1: kill it. It's gonna be awesome. They've got a different,

867
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: just tell, financial set up than the Alliance of American

868
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: Football had with just one owner, Vince McMahon, which might

869
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: make a difference. Who were we talking to just the

870
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 1: other day, oh Sam White about the Alliance, right, and

871
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 1: how it was all set up? Well, it was just

872
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: the financial backing was flimsy. And then wasn't making any money? Right? Well,

873
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: they weren't. They were under capitalized. Well, I mean they

874
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: didn't have any money. Nobody wanted to throw good money

875
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: after bad I guess, you know, I mean, I don't

876
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: know there was. It was a great idea, and I

877
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 1: told you the simple fact that matters this, Murph, the

878
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 1: NFL is the eight hundred pound gorilla. And you got

879
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: all these things that make money off the NFL that

880
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: don't have anything to do with the league, most notably

881
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: sports networks like this show. If the NFL didn't exist,

882
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have ESPN, you wouldn't have any of that stuff.

883
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: You wouldn't have NFL Network obviously. I mean there's a

884
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,439
Speaker 1: lot of programming and a lot of content that people

885
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,359
Speaker 1: devour because they love the NFL, and you can make

886
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 1: money off advertisers doing podcasts. All these you know, these

887
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 1: former players just sitting down with a microphone and a

888
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: buddy and they're selling advertising, just talking about stuff. The

889
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,959
Speaker 1: XFL doesn't have any of that. Yeah, they're not gonna

890
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: have any of They don't have. You think ESPN is

891
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 1: gonna spend millions of bucks bringing guys like Stephen A.

892
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: Smith over to talk about the league. No, they're not

893
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,800
Speaker 1: gonna get any free advertising from any of these entities

894
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: that even if they are showing their games. They're not

895
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: gonna have NFL Live. They're not gonna have Good Morning Football.

896
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:12,320
Speaker 1: They're not gonna have One Bills Live any of that stuff. Nothing.

897
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna give them the time of day unless they

898
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: catch the game. You ain't gonna ain't gonna work. We'll see.

899
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,240
Speaker 1: I'm not writing enough yet. I think the f XFL,

900
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 1: if it were properly financed, might have worked. The the

901
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: aa F. Yeah, I think it might have worked. Well.

902
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:29,359
Speaker 1: That means this one might work. What do you want

903
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: to see the most? In preseason game number three, A

904
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: call on the line from Dave in Florida. Hello, Dave,

905
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,680

906
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 1: What I'm looking forward to is the starting offensive line

907
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: able to open the holes or Frank Gore and Shady McCoy.

908
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:52,479
Speaker 1: And that's I think this is a great importance. Frank

909
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: Gore is a you know, three to five yard man

910
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: and Shady shady. But we got to be able to

911
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 1: get the whole. We got to open the holes. That's

912
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: what I want to So, Dave, you're telling me it's

913
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: it's all about the run game for you right when

914
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 1: I get it. Yet, yes, I do it because it

915
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 1: sets up the passing game. Yeah, I can see that,

916
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: and I agree. It's something that hasn't been you think about,

917
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: you know, three years ago or four years actually, four

918
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 1: or five years ago. This is a team that led

919
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 1: the NFL and rushing. You know, they had a quarterback

920
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: that could run pretty good, and they had, you know,

921
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:23,839
Speaker 1: an offensive line that was playing pretty good. And then

922
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 1: that all went away when they lost two Pro Bowl

923
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:30,479
Speaker 1: All Pro caliber offensive lineman and the quarterback went away.

924
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: So they made a move from the quarterback. So yeah,

925
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: it's changed. It's something I think Bills fans kind of

926
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 1: wish they had back, No question, I think every team

927
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: would love to league the league and rushing as a team.

928
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: But you know, what for the here and now. Yeah,

929
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: I'd like to see the running game be be successful

930
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: when the Bills want it to be successful, not when

931
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 1: it's just there for the taking, right, Yeah, I mean

932
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: the differentiation. I'm megan, Yes, run when you want to run,

933
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: whenever you want to run, and do it well enough

934
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: that they've they've got to sell out to stop it.

935
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,479
Speaker 1: You know, That's what I think. All Right, we're gonna

936
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: take a break. We're going to talk more about the

Speaker 1: Brown took part in the pre practice walkthrough before going

962
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,320

963
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: says after Antonio Brown's helmet issue. It's not a contract

964
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 1: extension for Dak Prescott, as Egio Elliott or Marii Cooper,

965
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 1: but the Cowboys did read just seven year contract destension

966

Speaker 1: for linebacker Jalen Smith. Jerry Jones says he felt good

967
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 1: about that he was Cowboys second round draft picked in

968
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. He is the third highest faid inside linebacker

969
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 1: in the NFL now in terms of guaranteed money, behind c. J.

970
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 1: Mosley and Bobby Wagner. Marii Cooper will not likely not

971
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 1: play in a preseason game at all for Dallas because

972
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,320
Speaker 1: of a heal injury suffered in Knox Sard, California, hoping

Speaker 1: sports Upstates. Joining us right now, also on the edge

986
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: of his seat, happy to talk to the ESPN NFL

987
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: Nature reporter for the Buffalo Bills. We talked him a

988
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: training camp happing having back Marcella Louis Jacque Collo. Marcella,

989
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: thanks coming by, Hey, thanks for having me as always, man,

990
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: love to be in the studio with y'all. We appreciate

991
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: you coming in. Glad you here. You've been around in

992
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 1: and around training camp. We had John during training camp

993
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 1: as well. And at the time we had John, I

994
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 1: think Mitch Morse was injured. He still is. What are

995
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 1: your thoughts on the offensive line coming into this game,

996
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 1: are you thumbs up, thumbs down, or kind of somewhere

997
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 1: in the middle. Well, I think there was a they

998
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 1: were in a position of concern a couple of weeks

999
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 1: ago when they're seemingly just dropping like fives. You know,

1000
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 1: Long's missing time, Feliciano was missing time. Morris is out,

1001
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 1: Waddle goes on ir and Seki is in and out

1002
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,919
Speaker 1: of practice. But I think they're finally starting to find

1003
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:31,399
Speaker 1: some health and some continuity. Mitch Morris entering stage five

1004
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 1: A concussion protocol is an excellent sign. I mean, if

1005
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 1: you're a Bills fan, that's what you've been more or

1006
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,800
Speaker 1: less waiting for for the past two three weeks. But

1007
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 1: I think that the panic button you can slowly start

1008
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: to back away from it a little bit. They're looking

1009
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 1: like that top five is going to be ready for

1010
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,320
Speaker 1: Week one at New York Jets or at the Jets.

1011
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 1: It looks like they've got some depth in Feliciano, they've

1012
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: got some depth in Long Still trying to really cement

1013
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 1: who that swing tackle is going to be, but offensive

1014
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 1: line problems are not as dire as they were a

1015
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: few weeks ago. He's your top five, my top five

1016
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 1: in order starting to left tackle. We got Dion Dawkins,

1017
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: Quinn Spain, Mitch Morse, Cody Ford, Tianseki. That's that's I mean,

1018
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 1: that's what they that's what they're going to run with

1019
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:19,720
Speaker 1: one everybody is healthy and ready, you know, an active

1020
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 1: I could imagine that's just the most talented lineman that

1021
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,320
Speaker 1: you have on Russer right now. And that includes Ford

1022
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 1: at guard not tackle. Right. That's the thing in Sky's

1023
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: a better tackle than Feliciano or Long yard guard. Right,

1024
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 1: that's the idea right. Yeah, And and Ford is just

1025
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,959
Speaker 1: a better guard than he is tackled. I mean, he's

1026
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 1: that position. Flexibility is so key for him and that

1027
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:43,359
Speaker 1: was such a that was such a plus for him

1028
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,439
Speaker 1: entering the draft. That's why a lot of people pegged

1029
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 1: him as a first round pick. But I think his

1030
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 1: strength right now is at right guard instead of tackle.

1031
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 1: But that's not to say he can't play it right. Marcil.

1032
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: One thing, and it's it's a bit of a you know,

1033
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:59,160
Speaker 1: blue sky, rose colored glances thing that we've heard from

1034
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:02,359
Speaker 1: McDermott now for a week, but it's it's correct. They

1035
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 1: have developed some versatility by virtue of these injuries they've had.

1036
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,880
Speaker 1: You agree they do, And it's just the NFL is

1037
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:13,239
Speaker 1: a league of opportunity here and injuries happen all the time,

1038
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 1: and that's when you're going to see guys step up

1039
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 1: into positions that they might not be comfortable with, they

1040
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 1: might not be accustomed to. But that's how you learn.

1041
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 1: A firm believer that the best way to learn is

1042
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: to immersion. So force guys into the first team, Force

1043
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 1: guys at tackle, force guys at center who have never

1044
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 1: played center before, and Ryan Bates and let them learn

1045
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 1: and let them react to adversity because it's not going

1046
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: to be sunshine and rainbows comes Sundays. So yeah, okay,

1047
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,360
Speaker 1: before the third preseason games and you're sitting here and

1048
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 1: you think you've seen all these offensive line you know,

1049
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:48,359
Speaker 1: moves and switches and adapts, adjustments and adaptations. Have they

1050
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:52,840
Speaker 1: done enough? Have they got enough? Guys? I think you

1051
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 1: can never have enough offensive lineman. That's the I mean,

1052
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: the physicality that comes with the position. Injuries are just

1053
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: going to be more common there on the line. But

1054
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: I think it's a strong enough top five, especially compared

1055
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: to what last season's featured. I think the flexibility and

1056
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 1: depth that Long and Feliciano add is promising. I think

1057
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:19,800
Speaker 1: getting McDermott bat would be promising teller as well. So

1058
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 1: time will tell, Time will tell, But for right now,

1059
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: I think, like I said, before, we can start to

1060
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 1: you know, take our hands away from that, from that

1061
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:30,360
Speaker 1: big red button on the desk that says panic on it,

1062
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 1: and look forward to you know, pretty healthy week. One

1063
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 1: last offensive line question I have for you, Marcel is

1064
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 1: what about cohesion? What about communication? Up front? They're never

1065
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 1: going to get a chance to do that when it

1066
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 1: doesn't count. Yeah, And I thought it was interesting that

1067
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 1: McDermott said today. You know, Morris has been around the

1068
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:52,479
Speaker 1: league long enough that preseason is important. But you would think, Okay,

1069
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:54,439
Speaker 1: it's not the end of the world if he doesn't

1070
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,919
Speaker 1: get into a game these first four, these four preseason games.

1071
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 1: But McDermott said, no, he needs the reps, just like

1072
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 1: he himself needed reps that adjusting to a new scame,

1073
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:07,360
Speaker 1: a new team, new guys on either side of you,

1074
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:09,239
Speaker 1: that that takes time. You don't want to have to

1075
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 1: learn that on the fly, especially during a what we'll

1076
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,400
Speaker 1: call it five six games stretch to start the season,

1077
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:17,880
Speaker 1: where you can get off to an excellent start, if

1078
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:19,800
Speaker 1: you're buffalo of it, you can set the tone for

1079
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:23,360
Speaker 1: the entire year. You can't afford to lose games because

1080
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 1: of a lack of cohesion on the offensive line. And

1081
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 1: so I see the importance in that. I still wouldn't

1082
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 1: expect more to get in to get any preseason action

1083
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 1: beyond maybe one single series if that, even though it's

1084
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 1: just the risk kind of outweighs the reward. What do

1085
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 1: you think about the Josh Allen the preseason he's put together.

1086
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 1: I mean this is a This is an offense that

1087
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:49,240
Speaker 1: really you know, in Carolina they didn't have Luke Keikle

1088
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:51,760
Speaker 1: on the other side of the football, they and nobody's

1089
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:54,360
Speaker 1: playing their starters and the Bills are getting some reps

1090
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen some ones and finally did that in

1091
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: Carolina and had a good week leading up to that

1092
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 1: and during the practices. What what are your thoughts on

1093
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's preseason? Is his success been too easy? I mean,

1094
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 1: it's really hard to fall a guy for doing what

1095
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: he's asked to do. And when you're not playing, when

1096
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 1: you're playing against the Carolina defense without Keith Lee, without

1097
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 1: Shack Thompson, that's what you expect to do. And I

1098
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,920
Speaker 1: think that's a positive sign in its own right that

1099
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 1: when you're facing against when you're facing we'll call it

1100
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 1: inferior for lack of a better word, inferior competition, you

1101
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 1: have to be able to execute. And from what I

1102
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:31,399
Speaker 1: think we all saw it, he executed his game plan

1103
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:34,760
Speaker 1: just like he needed to. He pushed the ball downfield

1104
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:38,240
Speaker 1: when necessary. We saw the couple completions to Tommy Sweeney,

1105
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:41,359
Speaker 1: he took his checkdowns. We saw him just really force

1106
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:44,879
Speaker 1: feed almost Cole Beasley. But you know, if it ain't broke,

1107
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 1: don't fix it. I can't fault him for taking these

1108
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:53,760
Speaker 1: checkdowns because it's just the safe option. It's the smart option.

1109
00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: And his job. I think we talked about this last

1110
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 1: time I was on the show. His job is not

1111
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 1: to be the hero or the savior of this team.

1112
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 1: The strength of the Buffalo Bills does not lie in

1113
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 1: Josh Island's right arm, no matter how strong it is.

1114
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 1: All he needs to do is not mess up. You know,

1115
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 1: in year two, you're kind of a you know, enhanced

1116
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 1: game manager here. They don't need him to go out

1117
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,160
Speaker 1: and push the ball downfield in order to win games.

1118
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:21,479
Speaker 1: They just need him to be efficient with the ball.

1119
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,719
Speaker 1: They need him to score points when need be and

1120
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:27,920
Speaker 1: let the defense do the rest. On the line with

1121
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:31,280
Speaker 1: ESPN's Marcella Luis Jacque, he is the ESPN NFL natured

1122
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:34,280
Speaker 1: reporter covering the Buffalo Bills, and marcel you wrote about

1123
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 1: Bill's first round draft pick at Oliver m about you know,

1124
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 1: what do you think how's he doing after two games?

1125
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 1: And how more, maybe more importantly, how does he think

1126
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: he's doing after two games? Yeah, he's just got this.

1127
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 1: I spoke with Shaq Lawson who said that he's just

1128
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 1: got this this confidence about him that's not normal for

1129
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 1: a first year player. It's not and it's not cocky,

1130
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 1: and I think that was that was something I really

1131
00:56:57,600 --> 00:56:59,800
Speaker 1: wanted to focus on in the in the article that

1132
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 1: you know, this isn't some sort of rookie bivarado where

1133
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:04,319
Speaker 1: you're a first round here and you need to show

1134
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 1: that you know, I'm big and bad, I'm worth I'm

1135
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 1: worth the ten million dollars a year. He just wants

1136
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:13,319
Speaker 1: to he's very aware of what he can do when

1137
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 1: he's on the field, and I think that that shows,

1138
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 1: and that's shown in the first in the first two games.

1139
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 1: I love the fact that in the face of Cam

1140
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 1: Newton's you know, constant chatter last week in practice and Oliver,

1141
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 1: the most he could do it just glare at him,

1142
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 1: stare him down. I love that. Yeah, that I must

1143
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 1: have watched that video sixty times and I'm not gonna

1144
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 1: lie to you out here, but that's just that's Cam

1145
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: being Cam. I want, first of all, we shouldn't look

1146
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 1: too far into it. I know I tweeted a lot

1147
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 1: about it, but it was not serious. That is that's

1148
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 1: just how Cam he likes to, you know, poke the

1149
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 1: bear a little bit. But I think it kind of

1150
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 1: spoke volumes as to who Oliver is as a person

1151
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 1: to you know, turned back. I think we're saying it

1152
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 1: here to turn back and face him, just to hear

1153
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 1: Cam out, give him a chance to say, Hey, are

1154
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 1: you gonna say anything directly to me? Or is this

1155
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 1: you know the case where your mom's talking about to

1156
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: you to our friends in the living room. You just

1157
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 1: kind of have to wear it. But he didn't say anything,

1158
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 1: just kind of shook his head and went back to work.

1159
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 1: And that's that's what Ed Oliver does. That's who he is.

1160
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 1: He's not about that trash talk when it comes to opponents.

1161
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 1: He might job back and forth with his teammates, as

1162
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 1: you know Shack said, and as Ed himself admit. But

1163
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 1: I mean you see him right here. It's just like, okay,

1164
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: I'll hear what you're saying. That's uh, that's fine. You

1165
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 1: you're a little bigger than I thought. But talk your stuff.

1166
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:38,479
Speaker 1: Is there anything to be made? And not for nothing?

1167
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:41,439
Speaker 1: But at Oliver and this coaching staff has never given

1168
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 1: any of these players, ain't they when they earn it,

1169
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 1: they get it. Ed Oliver went from from being a

1170
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 1: two to a one really fast, ahead of Jordan Phillips.

1171
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 1: And Jordan Phillips is a very good player. Does it

1172
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 1: say anything about what they do? What does it say

1173
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 1: about that? I mean, do you think he earned it

1174
00:58:57,040 --> 00:58:58,479
Speaker 1: or do you think they were saying, Okay, he's playing

1175
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 1: good enough with stick him in there. I think you've

1176
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 1: seen it or we've seen it ever since the pads

1177
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: went on, I think the third day of training camp,

1178
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:09,920
Speaker 1: where he's just he's exactly what they drafted him to be.

1179
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 1: He's a disruptor and that you know in the interior

1180
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 1: defensive line, and I mean that's what they need. That

1181
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: was the weak point of this defense was getting after

1182
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 1: the quarterback twenty six and sacks. That's not an elite

1183
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:26,440
Speaker 1: trait for what should be an elite defense. And so

1184
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 1: what they need him to do is exactly what he's doing.

1185
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 1: Reek havoc forced double teams open things up a little

1186
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 1: bit for Jerry Hughes, for Trent Murphy and Shack Lawson,

1187
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 1: and you know, this is the NFL. You're not just

1188
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 1: going to be thrust into a lineup if you don't

1189
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 1: earn it, and especially with a guy like Sean McDermott,

1190
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 1: I don't think that it should be taken lightly that

1191
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 1: he's running with the ones this early in his career.

1192
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 1: Shall I mentioned to Steve an hour ago about the

1193
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 1: Buffalo defense two preseason games in how impressed I was

1194
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 1: with the depth they have developed. You know what I mean,

1195
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 1: they were number two defense last year. They were pretty good,

1196
00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:01,439
Speaker 1: but now they got back ups who seemed to play well.

1197
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 1: And again I know who they're going against, but I'm

1198
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 1: encouraged about the way the backup defenders have played through

1199
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 1: two games. And this goes back to what I'm saying before,

1200
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 1: what I said before about Josh Allen and not undermining

1201
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 1: his success, that you cannot you can't knock a guy

1202
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 1: for doing what he's expected to do. You know, like,

1203
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 1: if you're a four string guy and you're going against

1204
01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 1: four stringers and you're still finding success, like that's a

1205
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 1: positive that it's hard to just, you know, write that

1206
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 1: off and say, oh, he's a four string. He's a

1207
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:32,040
Speaker 1: four stinger too. This is equal competition for him, and

1208
01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:34,600
Speaker 1: he's showing that he can excel. And when I'm saying that,

1209
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 1: I'm thinking specifically of Darryl Johnson, who's he's just done

1210
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:41,480
Speaker 1: nothing but make plays whenever he gets the opportunity. We

1211
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 1: saw we saw a sack in a deflection in week one.

1212
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:48,640
Speaker 1: I believe we saw another sack and force fumble in

1213
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 1: week two. And for a guy that you know, a

1214
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 1: seventh round pick, and Leslie Fraser shed a little light

1215
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 1: on that on that yesterday. This is a premium position.

1216
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 1: It's one of we'll call it four or five positions

1217
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:04,280
Speaker 1: where you know people will trade up though Morgan is

1218
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 1: the future to go get an elite pass rusher, and

1219
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 1: so you don't see a lot of guy, a lot

1220
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 1: of high impact guys fall and slip through the cracks.

1221
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:14,520
Speaker 1: Darryl Johnson might be one of them. And I think

1222
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 1: if he does pan out, especially with you know, a

1223
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:20,440
Speaker 1: little bit of uncertainty opposite of Jerry Hughes, I think

1224
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 1: this could be a really valuable steal for Buffalo. Like

1225
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 1: I said, though, if he if he pans out and

1226
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 1: the success translates to the regular season. One of the

1227
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:32,440
Speaker 1: guys I wanted to ask you about. We started out

1228
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:35,800
Speaker 1: talking about Josh Allen, and you're right, you can't get

1229
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:37,920
Speaker 1: on the guy for doing what he's asked to do.

1230
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley's been asked to get open underneath now they

1231
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 1: were playing. I would think Cole Beasley in the game

1232
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 1: against Carolina where he had five targets, five catches, We've

1233
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:48,439
Speaker 1: all heard about it, and even Josh Allen is saying,

1234
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 1: you know, people are saying, wow, it was too easy

1235
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 1: for him. That's Cole Beasley's job, right, Anna talk. I mean,

1236
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 1: do you think Cole Beasley is going to be as

1237
01:01:57,240 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 1: big effect throughout the season as he was in the

1238
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 1: Carolina game. I would expect him to be. Um. He's

1239
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 1: just he's a mismatch and Carolina often where they're trying

1240
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 1: to defend him with a linebacker and that's just not

1241
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 1: going to work against a guy like Beasley who is

1242
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 1: not trying to blow by you. He's trying to shake

1243
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:18,840
Speaker 1: you free. And what I really loved he had a

1244
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,760
Speaker 1: he had a completion against I believe it was Jermaine

1245
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 1: Carter on one of those first two drives where he

1246
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 1: immediately breaks himself open and as soon as he can

1247
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 1: tell that he's got space, he angles that route upfield

1248
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:34,560
Speaker 1: and he wants to maximize as many yards as he

1249
01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:38,400
Speaker 1: can possibly get with every target and I think having

1250
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 1: that kind of safety net, that's like an incentive for

1251
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen to continue to adjust mentally, you know, his habits,

1252
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 1: his his his reads, his progressions. You know, that's an

1253
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 1: incentive to start looking at your checkdowns and start playing

1254
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 1: it safe. If you've got a guy who you know,

1255
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna do with whatever it takes to get

1256
01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:59,560
Speaker 1: six seven yards anytime he touches the ball, then yeah,

1257
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:02,160
Speaker 1: here the ball, do it. The Bills did not have

1258
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 1: that dimension in their passing game last year, and now

1259
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:07,080
Speaker 1: they seem to have it with Cole Beasley, and now

1260
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 1: they seem to want to use it, which is important too,

1261
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:10,920
Speaker 1: and they don't. I don't think they want to take

1262
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 1: the deep pass out of the offense either right now.

1263
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:15,880
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of it in two preseason games now,

1264
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 1: and because I think that that deep ball is more

1265
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 1: of a situational tool than it is than it should

1266
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 1: be a I guess exactly, it shouldn't be the focal

1267
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 1: point of it's one of the least efficient players in football.

1268
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:31,720
Speaker 1: That's uh. That's like in basketball, you know, basing your

1269
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 1: offense around a half court shot like looks great, but

1270
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:36,280
Speaker 1: I thought you're gonna say three pointers. Teams do based

1271
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:39,560
Speaker 1: on three pointers. Yeah, but he's right, it's a half

1272
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 1: court shots basically what it is. Yeah, exactly, it's it's

1273
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:45,640
Speaker 1: not as automatic as Steph makes a three pointer. H

1274
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:49,080
Speaker 1: makes threes. Look but like I said, it's a tool.

1275
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 1: And that's why they add a guy like like John

1276
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 1: Brown who can stretch that field because when defenses start

1277
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 1: to suck in, you know, when when yeah, Alan's hitting

1278
01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 1: Beasley across the middle, repeat eated Lee and and you know,

1279
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 1: in a perfect world for them, that run game is

1280
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 1: still you know, it's still a force to be respected.

1281
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:10,440
Speaker 1: It might not be dominant, but defenses would have to

1282
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 1: respect it. Safeties are going to start to creep up,

1283
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 1: and that's when you try to take the top off.

1284
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 1: Is that can you foresee kind of the typical slot

1285
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:22,320
Speaker 1: receiver like we've seen before, a guy like Colbis who

1286
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 1: comes out with one hundred and ten catches and has

1287
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:27,240
Speaker 1: nine hundred and fifty yards you know what I'm saying,

1288
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, an eight or nine yard per completion kind

1289
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:34,120
Speaker 1: of thing like clockwork, and that's kind of be his thing.

1290
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 1: It's not out of the completely out of the question.

1291
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:40,560
Speaker 1: I think his career high seventy five catches in a season,

1292
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:44,120
Speaker 1: and that was in a and that was in an

1293
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:46,800
Speaker 1: offense that, by his words, didn't value him, didn't use

1294
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 1: him correctly. I think Buffalo is going to be pretty

1295
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 1: pass heavy this season. It's not out of the question

1296
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 1: that he sees triple digit targets. Whether he hits that

1297
01:04:56,840 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 1: thousand yard plateau or whether he you know, even breaks

1298
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 1: that hundred catch barrier is yet to be seen. Is

1299
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 1: yet to be seen. That's those are very gaudy numbers

1300
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:10,800
Speaker 1: to protect without, you know, this early in the in

1301
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:14,080
Speaker 1: the process. But I think he could end up being

1302
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:18,680
Speaker 1: one of those guys whose value is underappreciated, one of

1303
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:21,680
Speaker 1: those guys like like how I hate to compare, you know,

1304
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:24,640
Speaker 1: a proven pro to a college player, but kind of

1305
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:27,480
Speaker 1: like how Hunter Renfro was at Clemson, who you know,

1306
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 1: he's not putting up the crazy numbers, but he's consistently

1307
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 1: moving the chains. He's a consistent option, and he's a

1308
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 1: reliable option. I think Cole Beasley's career catch percentage is

1309
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:40,280
Speaker 1: somewhere around seventy five percent. That's uh, I mean, like

1310
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 1: I said, that's just reliable. Talking with Bill's reporter Marcel

1311
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 1: Louis Jacques of ESPNUM. I've been asking this question or

1312
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:49,080
Speaker 1: a version of this question since Day two of the

1313
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:51,440
Speaker 1: draft back in April. Do you have any sense of

1314
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:53,920
Speaker 1: where they're going with the running back group, and not

1315
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 1: just as Friday, but as they approach cutdown day and

1316
01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:58,840
Speaker 1: the start of the regular season. What do you think?

1317
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 1: I think the top three is pretty solidified. I think McCoy, Gore,

1318
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 1: and Singletary are our locks. Like you can you can

1319
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:09,080
Speaker 1: quote three, keep all three? You can you can quote

1320
01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:12,080
Speaker 1: me on that if you I think you use all three.

1321
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:16,080
Speaker 1: I think Lashawn gets the first, We'll probably get the

1322
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:19,480
Speaker 1: first crack Um. I think he and Gore will more

1323
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:22,320
Speaker 1: or less split. Carry's doing the same role, but Devin

1324
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:25,439
Speaker 1: Singletary's kind of his own in his own category. They're

1325
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:28,400
Speaker 1: using him like treet Co and like darren Sproles, like

1326
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 1: I think la uses Austin Ekeler as well as almost

1327
01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:35,640
Speaker 1: a hybrid slot receiver and running back. You're gonna see

1328
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:37,840
Speaker 1: him in motion a lot. You're gonna see him uh

1329
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:41,000
Speaker 1: running wheel routes. You're gonna see him taking jet sweeps,

1330
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 1: and I think he can be a very valuable gadget player.

1331
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:47,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's a three down back. I

1332
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 1: don't know if he's a feature back. But you don't

1333
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:51,800
Speaker 1: really have to be in order, you don't have to

1334
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:54,800
Speaker 1: be in today's NFL. You can be a very valuable

1335
01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:57,920
Speaker 1: and productive running back in that exact role, and if

1336
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:01,720
Speaker 1: he grows in that, then he's somebody to definitely watch. Obviously,

1337
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 1: after that, that's when it gets. After those three, he

1338
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:07,480
Speaker 1: gets a little gets a little Harry Um. You know,

1339
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:09,920
Speaker 1: obviously they signed t J. Yelden and he's a you know,

1340
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 1: he's a proven NFL running back. He's proven he can

1341
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 1: come in in case of injury and be productive. But

1342
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:18,920
Speaker 1: his lack of experience on special teams I think might

1343
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 1: hurt him here. In that case, I would put probably

1344
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 1: Sonora's Perry over him. I like what I've seen out

1345
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:27,720
Speaker 1: of Marcus Murphy as well as a runner. I think

1346
01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 1: he's lightning quick. I think he hits his holes very hard,

1347
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:34,560
Speaker 1: just like Beasley. He tries to maximize how much yard,

1348
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:36,800
Speaker 1: how many yards he gets every time he touches the ball.

1349
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:40,080
Speaker 1: It's just that his skill set maybe a little bit redundant.

1350
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 1: With Devin Singletary in that top three, unless he can

1351
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 1: do all of that and play special teams as well.

1352
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:48,800
Speaker 1: And because you're right, the top three guys are gonna

1353
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:53,160
Speaker 1: getet five percent of the carries maybe and DeMarco gets

1354
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:55,600
Speaker 1: one carry for the season, you know at a full back.

1355
01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, And I think do you think they're

1356
01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 1: just gonna And here's why I think it's gonna go.

1357
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:05,320
Speaker 1: Leshawn and Frank Gore are gonna whoever's having the good

1358
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:07,880
Speaker 1: beds day gets on the field and they'll just They'll

1359
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 1: give Lashawn the first crack and if he keeps going well,

1360
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:12,600
Speaker 1: Frank will spell him and then come off the field

1361
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 1: and Leshn's right back out there. And just the opposite.

1362
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:17,559
Speaker 1: If it's one of those days where Frank Gore has

1363
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:20,040
Speaker 1: to get the tough yards after contact, I agree. I

1364
01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:22,559
Speaker 1: think Lashawan is still even at this stage of his career,

1365
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:24,720
Speaker 1: I think he's more of a home run here than

1366
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 1: than Frank Gore. Um Gore's He's looked, I mean, as

1367
01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:32,000
Speaker 1: spry as ever for how long he's been in the league.

1368
01:08:32,040 --> 01:08:34,080
Speaker 1: He doesn't look like he's lost a whole lot. But

1369
01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:37,160
Speaker 1: I think he's a powerful between the tackles runner. He's

1370
01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:39,000
Speaker 1: a consistent you know what, you're gonna get with him,

1371
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:41,760
Speaker 1: and you need a chew clock. You need to eat

1372
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:44,040
Speaker 1: some yards up. Then you're gonna you're gonna hammer it

1373
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:48,200
Speaker 1: away with Frank Gore. And but yeah, I think that

1374
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:51,080
Speaker 1: makes sense. The hot hand approach makes sense. That's that's

1375
01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:52,680
Speaker 1: just how it goes when you have a committee, and

1376
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 1: this is this is looking a lot like a committee.

1377
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:57,760
Speaker 1: A week from tomorrow, preseason game number four could be

1378
01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:00,680
Speaker 1: Christian Wade day here in park, right. Why not play

1379
01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:03,639
Speaker 1: him in the fourth preseason Yeah? Why not? I think

1380
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:05,400
Speaker 1: he'll probably get a little more he might get a

1381
01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 1: little more action action now in game three. But he's

1382
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:12,120
Speaker 1: been I mean, just electric anytime he touches the ball.

1383
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 1: But my lord, we need to calm down. Yeah, the

1384
01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:23,240
Speaker 1: way to the fifty three talk. I think he's it's

1385
01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:25,320
Speaker 1: easy to get wrapped up in the shiny new thing,

1386
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:28,080
Speaker 1: and right now, Christian Wade is the shiny new the

1387
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:31,160
Speaker 1: new toy on this offense. But let's be very realistic here.

1388
01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:34,320
Speaker 1: He has he's made two plays and he's only got

1389
01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:37,439
Speaker 1: in the ball four times. I haven't been doing this

1390
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 1: NFL thing a long time, but I learned quickly. And

1391
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:42,200
Speaker 1: one thing I've learned is that the people who are

1392
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:46,120
Speaker 1: around the team every day, usually no more than the

1393
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:50,040
Speaker 1: fans than even the media. They're seeing them practice, and

1394
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:53,840
Speaker 1: the people who make the decisions here have decided Christian

1395
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:56,040
Speaker 1: Wade's the last running back to touch the ball these

1396
01:09:56,080 --> 01:09:59,000
Speaker 1: past two games. There's probably a reason for that. He

1397
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:04,160
Speaker 1: is every bit a high caliber athlete. I think he's

1398
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:07,560
Speaker 1: an NFL caliber athlete, no doubt. But you see a

1399
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:09,360
Speaker 1: couple times. You've seen a couple of times where his

1400
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 1: rugby instincts kick in before his football instincts kick in. Uh,

1401
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:17,160
Speaker 1: you saw it in that opening handoff, I mean rugby.

1402
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:21,320
Speaker 1: Twitter correct me if I'm wrong, But he took it

1403
01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:24,040
Speaker 1: like he's getting he's sticking a ball. He's sticking a

1404
01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:25,680
Speaker 1: rugby ball. I don't know what the rugby ball is called.

1405
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:28,240
Speaker 1: That's not where they pay me. But he took he

1406
01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:30,800
Speaker 1: took it like he's playing rugby. You saw it again

1407
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:32,760
Speaker 1: on the I believe the player that we just we

1408
01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:36,640
Speaker 1: just watched where he doesn't follow his lead blockers. I

1409
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:39,719
Speaker 1: to my understanding that you don't do that. He can't

1410
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 1: do that in rugby. You can't block for a guy

1411
01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 1: in rugby. The ball has to be the first thing

1412
01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 1: down the field. So it's opposite for him, exactly. It showed.

1413
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:49,800
Speaker 1: And so while that instinct too, you know, c space

1414
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:53,160
Speaker 1: hit space is clearly there with him. You see him.

1415
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:56,639
Speaker 1: They're losing points because he's not scoring because he runs

1416
01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:59,439
Speaker 1: away from his blockers and toward the other team. And

1417
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:02,360
Speaker 1: they're little things, and we're nitpicking here for a guy

1418
01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:05,080
Speaker 1: who's got you know, one hundred plus yards on just

1419
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 1: a handful of touches. But they those football instincts need

1420
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:13,160
Speaker 1: to be second nature to him. This isn't rugby anymore.

1421
01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:15,320
Speaker 1: And to put him on the fifty three man roster

1422
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:17,840
Speaker 1: that means you expect him to make an impact in

1423
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:20,519
Speaker 1: a real game that really counts in the season. And

1424
01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:22,559
Speaker 1: I don't think he's quite ready to do that yet.

1425
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:25,000
Speaker 1: I think at least a year or a little bit

1426
01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:27,280
Speaker 1: of time on that practice squad to you know, build

1427
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:30,519
Speaker 1: those instincts and make that second nature. I think that's

1428
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:32,599
Speaker 1: going to be very valuable for a guy like him.

1429
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:35,519
Speaker 1: Bill said, face backup quarterbacks their first two preseason games.

1430
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:37,880
Speaker 1: It'll be different this Friday night, right going against the

1431
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:41,400
Speaker 1: ones for the Detroit Lions. I mean it might might.

1432
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:43,880
Speaker 1: We might see Matt Stafford I don't believe Detroit has

1433
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:46,680
Speaker 1: played him to this point. And Matt Patricia is a

1434
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:50,840
Speaker 1: disciple of the Bill Belichick, you know, pregame routine. So

1435
01:11:51,120 --> 01:11:54,080
Speaker 1: I don't think we'll find out until you know, Darnier

1436
01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:57,000
Speaker 1: game time. But I think it would be valuable because

1437
01:11:57,240 --> 01:11:59,600
Speaker 1: we already know we know what this defense can do

1438
01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:03,760
Speaker 1: against backup quarterbacks. They you know, bullied Jacoby Brissette. They

1439
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 1: made Kyle Allen, you know, look like an undrafted rookie still,

1440
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:11,680
Speaker 1: and I think you're not seeing you're I know it's

1441
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:13,280
Speaker 1: a theme of the show, but we're seeing them do

1442
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:16,680
Speaker 1: what we expect them to do. It would be I

1443
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:19,479
Speaker 1: think comforting for four fans, for staff, for the players

1444
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:23,120
Speaker 1: themselves to go up against a full group, to go

1445
01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:25,920
Speaker 1: up against a full starting group for a couple of series.

1446
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:28,640
Speaker 1: Hard for a team like Caroline to take four All

1447
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:31,720
Speaker 1: pros off the field and look like themselves, because those

1448
01:12:31,760 --> 01:12:36,960
Speaker 1: guys are their identity. Keikley, Cam Newton, Christian McCaffrey and

1449
01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:39,040
Speaker 1: Greg Olson. I mean, those are four All Pro players,

1450
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:41,840
Speaker 1: and that changes the entire complexion of their offense and

1451
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:44,640
Speaker 1: defense when they're off. It does. Ron Rivera came out

1452
01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:47,240
Speaker 1: and said that you know they the Bills took advantage

1453
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:50,479
Speaker 1: of a vanilla game pen, which I mean comes off

1454
01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:53,600
Speaker 1: as a little petty, but in all reality, that was not.

1455
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:55,640
Speaker 1: It was almost like they didn't play the Panthers. If

1456
01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:58,679
Speaker 1: McCaffrey and cam are not on that offense and Keikley's

1457
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:01,559
Speaker 1: not quarterback in the defense, you basically didn't play the Panthers.

1458
01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:05,160
Speaker 1: But they did succeed and do once again what you

1459
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:07,759
Speaker 1: would expect them to do against a group of reserves,

1460
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 1: and I think that is better. This might be a

1461
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:12,040
Speaker 1: glass half full approach, but that is way better than

1462
01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 1: the alternative of failing to make an impact against a

1463
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:17,200
Speaker 1: team with al Keith Lee and came. You mentioned Matt Patricia.

1464
01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:18,720
Speaker 1: Have you guys seen him yet this summer? You know what?

1465
01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:21,160
Speaker 1: You see what he's doing. So he had earlier the

1466
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:24,160
Speaker 1: summer he had um, what's the surgery in the back

1467
01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:27,800
Speaker 1: of your leg? Down here achilles tendon repaired and he's

1468
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:30,080
Speaker 1: got a cart and he rides out the midfield. They've

1469
01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:32,400
Speaker 1: got him set up on a platform right at the

1470
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:35,440
Speaker 1: fifty yard line behind the benches. He's got four Gatorade

1471
01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:38,000
Speaker 1: huge jugs in front of him to protect him. And

1472
01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:39,960
Speaker 1: that's where he coaches the game from the head coach.

1473
01:13:40,640 --> 01:13:42,599
Speaker 1: I saw him. I was watching the Houston game last night.

1474
01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:44,760
Speaker 1: He throwed. He threw a challenge flag, had to throw

1475
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:48,360
Speaker 1: it about twenty yards onto the field. He's not he's

1476
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:50,759
Speaker 1: not healthy. He rides around the cart and he sits.

1477
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:52,479
Speaker 1: I don't know if he'll do it this Friday night,

1478
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:54,839
Speaker 1: but he could not. He didn't want to get hit, obviously,

1479
01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:56,519
Speaker 1: and he has to sit for the entire game. It's

1480
01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:59,600
Speaker 1: pretty amazing. It's kind of interesting. It's interesting trend of

1481
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 1: coach injuries. I think the floor up in Green Bay.

1482
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:05,200
Speaker 1: Then he tears a cl or something like that. I

1483
01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:07,800
Speaker 1: didn't know. I think he had knee surgery or there's

1484
01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:10,160
Speaker 1: some sort of we'd have to lick it up. But yeah,

1485
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:11,960
Speaker 1: look for that on Friday. Marchel, this is great. Thank

1486
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:14,960
Speaker 1: you again for We appreciate it. I appreciate it anytime. Yah.

Speaker 1: or they're all over these guys. I mean, they're doing

1510
01:15:39,320 --> 01:15:43,000
Speaker 1: anything they can do. For conditioning that their injuries will allow.

1511
01:15:43,920 --> 01:15:46,360
Speaker 1: They got somebody over there beating them with a stick

1512
01:15:46,520 --> 01:15:48,720
Speaker 1: saying let's go, and they're they're like, they're in a

1513
01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:50,720
Speaker 1: full they may not even be able to you know,

1514
01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:52,920
Speaker 1: they might have a their arm in a sling or whatever.

1515
01:15:52,960 --> 01:15:55,240
Speaker 1: They're in a full lather. I mean, what are what

1516
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:57,880
Speaker 1: their injury is? The sports science department over here has

1517
01:15:57,880 --> 01:16:02,240
Speaker 1: got these guys just bust a gut to stay in shape.

1518
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:05,040
Speaker 1: So finally, I bet you know, Dawson Knox is probably like,

1519
01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:06,840
Speaker 1: you know what, I am so glad to be playing

1520
01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:10,599
Speaker 1: football again. There's less strenuous, right, I mean they got

1521
01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 1: I mean, they work them hard, so the healing process

1522
01:16:13,760 --> 01:16:16,080
Speaker 1: is enhanced, and you know, and obviously when they do

1523
01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:18,519
Speaker 1: get healed up, they're they're ready to get back and

1524
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:21,519
Speaker 1: jump into a full swing of NFL and NFL practice,

1525
01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:26,519
Speaker 1: which is important. So theoretically, Dawson Knox should be able

1526
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:29,760
Speaker 1: to step in and go right right away and just

1527
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:32,559
Speaker 1: go full go. Because also that not only are they

1528
01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:35,000
Speaker 1: doing all that physically, they're also sitting in meetings and

1529
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:37,280
Speaker 1: making you know, they're in all the install meetings, all

1530
01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:39,720
Speaker 1: the game plan meetings, all the coaching sessions, all the

1531
01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:41,880
Speaker 1: things that players do away from the field, and film

1532
01:16:41,920 --> 01:16:44,439
Speaker 1: sessions that that there's that they would if they were healthy.

1533
01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:47,080
Speaker 1: They do all that anyway, so he should be able

1534
01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:49,559
Speaker 1: to step onto the field and just start taking reps.

1535
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:52,479
Speaker 1: Friday night, preseason game number three, What do you want

1548
01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:25,120

Speaker 1: percent of you say that's what you're looking for the most.

1550
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:31,640
Speaker 1: Eleven percent say more defensive success. So it's a lot.

1551
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:33,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind of spread out pretty well there.

1552
01:17:33,280 --> 01:17:37,240
Speaker 1: Steve what does it do those what's your choice? By

1553
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:42,200
Speaker 1: the way, I didn't even um, well, yeah, offensive line battle.

1554
01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:44,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what the battle is. I think it's

1555
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 1: I'd like to I'd want to see who's playing on

1556
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:49,200
Speaker 1: the offensive line. I'd like to get a better center.

1557
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:51,479
Speaker 1: Who's going to start against the Jets? Other than that,

1558
01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:54,640
Speaker 1: more defensive success. I think my next what does it

1559
01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:58,960
Speaker 1: change if you know you're gonna go against the number

1560
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:02,040
Speaker 1: one's to Detroit. All everybody's on the field there holding

1561
01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:05,559
Speaker 1: what what's it changed to from from offensive line time defense? Yeah?

1562
01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:07,479
Speaker 1: I think so too. I gotta take a break, Dawson

Speaker 1: Knox to anybody to join us coming off the practice field,

1571
01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:42,160
Speaker 1: and welcome back to the practice field this week. It's

1572
01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:43,479
Speaker 1: good to have you out there? Huh, well, thank you.

1573
01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:45,120
Speaker 1: It's definitely good to be back. It feels like it's

1574
01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:48,320
Speaker 1: been too long. Three weeks, I guess about right. Yeah,

1575
01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:52,200
Speaker 1: it was yep, three and yeah, exactly three weeks from

1576
01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:54,360
Speaker 1: when I first started practicing earlier this week. So I

1577
01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:56,760
Speaker 1: was telling Murf they had you. They you jumped through

1578
01:18:56,840 --> 01:18:58,559
Speaker 1: some hoops to get back on the field. They've got

1579
01:18:58,720 --> 01:19:01,000
Speaker 1: a whole raft of people over there with their hands

1580
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:02,800
Speaker 1: on you're trying to get you healthy. Oh. It's the

1581
01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 1: best training staff I've been a part of, and they

1582
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:07,840
Speaker 1: got every machine possible you could think of to get

1583
01:19:07,880 --> 01:19:11,000
Speaker 1: it back feeling good, get it, you know, strong enough

1584
01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 1: to why I can start sprinting again and keeping my

1585
01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:15,240
Speaker 1: cardio up doing stuff like the bike and everything. So

1586
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:17,400
Speaker 1: when you first get back out there on Sunday, is

1587
01:19:17,439 --> 01:19:19,760
Speaker 1: there a little bit of hesitancy? Like I'm not sure.

1588
01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:21,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to test this a little bit. First

1589
01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:23,479
Speaker 1: couple of times you're sprinting down field. Um, you know,

1590
01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:25,840
Speaker 1: it was a little hesitant, just because I never had

1591
01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:27,920
Speaker 1: a hamstring issue and I was just doing my normal thing.

1592
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:31,040
Speaker 1: When I pulled it, Um didn't feel tied at all.

1593
01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:33,920
Speaker 1: It just kind of popped on me. So there was

1594
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:36,760
Speaker 1: a little hesitancy. But the amount of work I put

1595
01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:40,280
Speaker 1: in with the trainer, strengthening it and you know, jogging

1596
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:41,960
Speaker 1: kind of working up to that full speed gave me

1597
01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:44,200
Speaker 1: some confidence. What do you think about this week? Are

1598
01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:46,599
Speaker 1: you gonna take some snap from me? He said, yeah,

1599
01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:50,400
Speaker 1: pitch account. It's kind of fluid situation. How much you play, right, Yeah,

1600
01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:53,840
Speaker 1: that's the plan. Felt great all week in practice. We're

1601
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:57,600
Speaker 1: gonna get. They haven't given me an exact amount of

1602
01:19:57,680 --> 01:20:00,080
Speaker 1: snaps I'm gonna get, but definitely putting on play a

1603
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:02,760
Speaker 1: little bit. It's a tight end. Dawson knoxon Studio with us.

1604
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:05,280
Speaker 1: You you went to Carolina last week obviously, and then

1605
01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:07,040
Speaker 1: of course you were at the home game preseason game

1606
01:20:07,160 --> 01:20:09,160
Speaker 1: number one. How tough was it to be on the

1607
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:12,280
Speaker 1: sidelines when even some of your draft class meets are

1608
01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:15,320
Speaker 1: out there making plays, Tommy Sweeney making plays right now.

1609
01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:18,080
Speaker 1: It was It was definitely frustrating, you know, for me

1610
01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:20,280
Speaker 1: to just have to sit there and watch, because you know,

1611
01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:22,679
Speaker 1: football is the thing I love the most and going

1612
01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:24,760
Speaker 1: out there and doing it, you know, on game days

1613
01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:28,000
Speaker 1: is what makes it all fun. But you know, from

1614
01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:29,760
Speaker 1: a teammates standpoint, it was fun to be able to

1615
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:31,760
Speaker 1: see all my friends, you know, my draft class go

1616
01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:33,760
Speaker 1: out there and make plays. Guys I've been you know,

1617
01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:36,240
Speaker 1: I've known for the last few months going out there

1618
01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:39,720
Speaker 1: balling out. So it was fun from that standpoint, But

1619
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:41,800
Speaker 1: I'm definitely excited to get back on the field. Do

1620
01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:44,120
Speaker 1: you feel up to snuff, you know, mentally because I

1621
01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:45,639
Speaker 1: know you've been going to the meetings in the room

1622
01:20:45,680 --> 01:20:47,120
Speaker 1: with all the tight ends, but you don't get a

1623
01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:49,240
Speaker 1: run through that stuff. But you've been there watching these

1624
01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:52,400
Speaker 1: guys gets get coach stuff. You still feel sharp mentally

1625
01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:55,519
Speaker 1: with the offense because it's a new system for you, right, Um,

1626
01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:57,200
Speaker 1: So that was the biggest challenge for me. It was

1627
01:20:57,240 --> 01:21:00,040
Speaker 1: just staying mentally locked in because I'm the type a

1628
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:01,760
Speaker 1: learner that when I go out there and do it,

1629
01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:03,760
Speaker 1: I learned the best and kind of that gets it

1630
01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:06,400
Speaker 1: locked in. But these last couple of weeks have given

1631
01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:09,439
Speaker 1: me a good opportunity to kind of learn just from

1632
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:12,800
Speaker 1: the classroom standpoint, watch film, take just mental notes from

1633
01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:14,960
Speaker 1: coach and kind of see how other guys do it.

1634
01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:17,559
Speaker 1: Usin going back to the spring, when you and your

1635
01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:19,720
Speaker 1: rookie group arrived your early May. I think it was

1636
01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:22,840
Speaker 1: you pretty quickly developed a kind of a rapport and

1637
01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:26,200
Speaker 1: a connection with the quarterback, Josh Allen. Did you lose

1638
01:21:26,280 --> 01:21:28,000
Speaker 1: some of that, like this week? Were you able to

1639
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:29,640
Speaker 1: pick up where you left off because he seemed like

1640
01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:31,840
Speaker 1: he was looking for you in the spring practices. Um,

1641
01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:33,400
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think I lost any of that,

1642
01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:35,599
Speaker 1: And thankfully I was able to develop that a little

1643
01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:37,880
Speaker 1: bit with Josh, and I've gotten kind of closer to

1644
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:40,800
Speaker 1: him off the field to over these last couple of weeks.

1645
01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:42,920
Speaker 1: So I feel like we're still right there, right in

1646
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:47,439
Speaker 1: touch now for this week. I mean, do you guys

1647
01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:49,840
Speaker 1: anticipate any kind of game, But it's been a little

1648
01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:53,160
Speaker 1: bit different routine. It's a normal routine during the regular season.

1649
01:21:53,400 --> 01:21:57,000
Speaker 1: What's been the big difference for you? The practices are different.

1650
01:21:57,040 --> 01:22:00,479
Speaker 1: There's more scout team stuff instead of just offense versus defense.

1651
01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:03,360
Speaker 1: You know, if the offense is going, the defense is

1652
01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:05,800
Speaker 1: looking at a card kind of like what Detroit's gonna

1653
01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:09,719
Speaker 1: look like. So it's kind of just game specific plays

1654
01:22:09,880 --> 01:22:11,880
Speaker 1: and game specific looks that we're going to see from

1655
01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:15,360
Speaker 1: the lines on Friday instead of just kind of a

1656
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:18,320
Speaker 1: you know, one offense versus the one defense. So here

1657
01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:20,479
Speaker 1: and how does that routine differ than what you were

1658
01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:22,839
Speaker 1: used to at all? Miss kind of a high caliber,

1659
01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:25,880
Speaker 1: high quality college football program. Is it much different. Um,

1660
01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:28,360
Speaker 1: it's a little different. Um, it's it's the same. In

1661
01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:30,640
Speaker 1: terms of scout team looks. In college, we did a

1662
01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:34,880
Speaker 1: lot more ones verse ones, full speed, full contacts. You know,

1663
01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:38,720
Speaker 1: they were little knicks and injuries every now and then,

1664
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:40,719
Speaker 1: but they do a great job knowing how to practice.

1665
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:44,519
Speaker 1: No one really gets tackled, so they do a good

1666
01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:47,240
Speaker 1: job making sure everything's still full speed, getting the right look,

1667
01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:49,880
Speaker 1: but still practicing safe. So you're in Buffalo. You've been

1680
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:18,800
Speaker 1: hard time. But somebody say, well, who's naming gonna get

1686
01:23:29,600 --> 01:23:32,200
Speaker 1: hockey game before in your life? I have, so. I

1687
01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:35,639
Speaker 1: grew up in Nashville naturally was a Predators fan. Um

1688
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:38,479
Speaker 1: it wasn't really a die hard fan, didn't have season tickets,

1689
01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:40,320
Speaker 1: but would go to a few games every year and

1690
01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:42,679
Speaker 1: they're really fun to watch. So I'm excited to dive

1691
01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:45,720
Speaker 1: into this great live sport. Oh yeah, it's I mean,

1692
01:23:45,800 --> 01:23:47,080
Speaker 1: it's some of the most fun I've ever had a

1693
01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:49,160
Speaker 1: sporting events. Yeah, it's good. Stuf. Well, I mean, so

1694
01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:52,120

01:23:55,439 --> 01:23:56,960
Speaker 1: I'll be wearing. I want to see what it looks like,

1698
01:23:57,000 --> 01:23:58,840
Speaker 1: because if it looks good on you, then I'll fight

1699
01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:01,200
Speaker 1: after your I'm gonna get it. You're not gonna wear it.

1700
01:24:01,240 --> 01:24:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it. I'm just gonna put it up

1701
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:06,000
Speaker 1: like I'll put it up on the wall, right like

1702
01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:08,360
Speaker 1: I was part of the team kind of thing. Right.

1703
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:13,599
Speaker 1: So that's good. Yeah, I'm glad you So Friday before game,

1704
01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:18,920
Speaker 1: are you into that kind of thought process of you know, listen,

1705
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:20,560
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a grind. We got sixteen to

1706
01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:22,839
Speaker 1: these to go. This is a different kind of animal.

1707
01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:25,240
Speaker 1: What's your mindset now going in? And you must have

1708
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:27,840
Speaker 1: a feel and you know the final cuts have yet

1709
01:24:27,840 --> 01:24:30,040
Speaker 1: to be made. You gotta feel like you're a guy

1710
01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:31,600
Speaker 1: that they're gonna you're gonna be a part of this

1711
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:35,240
Speaker 1: fifty three. What's your mindset now about what's in front

1712
01:24:35,280 --> 01:24:38,320
Speaker 1: of you, not just this third and fourth preseason game,

1713
01:24:38,360 --> 01:24:41,040
Speaker 1: but the season ahead. Um, I've given a little bit

1714
01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:42,760
Speaker 1: of thought to it. I know it's gonna be a

1715
01:24:42,840 --> 01:24:46,439
Speaker 1: lot longer than the college season obviously. Um, and you

1716
01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:48,000
Speaker 1: know the last couple of years of all missed we

1717
01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:50,000
Speaker 1: were on the ball band, so we were only able

1718
01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:53,360
Speaker 1: to do the twelve games and you know, be done. Um,

1719
01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:57,560
Speaker 1: but for right now is every every season, I've just

1720
01:24:57,600 --> 01:24:59,759
Speaker 1: been focused on the week and I'm in I'm getting

1721
01:24:59,800 --> 01:25:03,280
Speaker 1: better or at one thing every day, and uh, kind

1722
01:25:03,320 --> 01:25:06,080
Speaker 1: of looking ahead can get me caught up sometimes thinking

1723
01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:08,439
Speaker 1: how my body's gonna field ten twelve weeks from now.

1724
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:11,000
Speaker 1: So I'm just doing my best, trying to stay in

1725
01:25:11,080 --> 01:25:12,960
Speaker 1: the moment. I gotta get this first game under my

1726
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:15,800
Speaker 1: belt first before I started thinking about stuff. But that's

1727
01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 1: kind of my mindset for the moment. Based on what

1728
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 1: we've seen in two preseason games, this looks like an

1729
01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:24,360
Speaker 1: offense that will use multiple tight ends quite often. Absolutely,

1730
01:25:24,479 --> 01:25:26,240
Speaker 1: that's gonna be fun. I've never been a part of

1731
01:25:26,320 --> 01:25:28,880
Speaker 1: an offense like that, and I feel like, um yeah,

1732
01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:31,240
Speaker 1: at Old Miss, I mean I was, we were eleven

1733
01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:35,960
Speaker 1: personnel probably ninety eight percent of place. Um, but I

1734
01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:38,759
Speaker 1: think it's really exciting to get multiple tight ends exposed.

1735
01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:42,120
Speaker 1: Some matchups split us out wide, bringing you know, two

1736
01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:44,080
Speaker 1: guys in motion. I mean, it's gonna be fun. And

1737
01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:46,600
Speaker 1: Old Miss, will you like an inline tight end or

1738
01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:48,479
Speaker 1: did they flect you out something? Um? It was it

1739
01:25:48,560 --> 01:25:51,120
Speaker 1: was pretty flexible. Um. I never really had my hand

1740
01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:52,720
Speaker 1: in the dirt, and at three point stance, I'd be

1741
01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:55,760
Speaker 1: in a wing a lot, but we really were. We

1742
01:25:55,880 --> 01:25:57,960
Speaker 1: kept it pretty simple because we went really fast, and

1743
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:00,080
Speaker 1: that was the philosophy. In order to go fast, have

1744
01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:02,759
Speaker 1: to keep it simple. So I was split out probably

1745
01:26:02,840 --> 01:26:04,880
Speaker 1: fifty percent of the time, and fifty percent of the

1746
01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:07,519
Speaker 1: time I'd be in line. Is this offense a lot

1747
01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:09,720
Speaker 1: more complex than what you had at all? Miss? That's

1748
01:26:09,760 --> 01:26:13,240
Speaker 1: fair to say. Um, yeah, I like making the analogy

1749
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:16,120
Speaker 1: that I had one page of the textbook in college

1750
01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:18,439
Speaker 1: and now I've got the whole book. So it's kind

1751
01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:21,240
Speaker 1: of fun being able to use different tools and kind

1752
01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:23,479
Speaker 1: of learning the ends and outs of different schemes and

1753
01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:26,000
Speaker 1: stuff and route concepts. So it's been fun. And how

1754
01:26:26,040 --> 01:26:27,920
Speaker 1: do you handle that work? Is it something you can

1755
01:26:27,960 --> 01:26:29,760
Speaker 1: do at home with the tablet or do you do

1756
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:32,240
Speaker 1: it here in the classroom or yeah, it's really cool. Um,

1757
01:26:32,560 --> 01:26:35,439
Speaker 1: we we had iPads it all miss too, but here, um,

1758
01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:37,400
Speaker 1: you know, you got all the film. The coaches make

1759
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:40,000
Speaker 1: cut ups for us to look at specific fronts and

1760
01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:43,599
Speaker 1: defensive schemes and have the place for the week on there.

1761
01:26:43,760 --> 01:26:45,479
Speaker 1: So it's it's really easy to kind of do that

1762
01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:47,360
Speaker 1: by yourself, but at the same time being in the

1763
01:26:47,920 --> 01:26:49,320
Speaker 1: you know, tied end meeting room with one of the

1764
01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:51,400
Speaker 1: vets looking at stuff. That's one more question about. And

1765
01:26:51,600 --> 01:26:54,679
Speaker 1: Steve and I walk by the new player Performance center

1766
01:26:54,760 --> 01:26:56,880
Speaker 1: here and now there are those screens that drop down

1767
01:26:56,920 --> 01:27:00,560
Speaker 1: with hop on the wall off for job. Well, what

1768
01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:02,680
Speaker 1: tell us? Can you explain what that is and how

1769
01:27:02,760 --> 01:27:04,880
Speaker 1: that works? Yeah? So I've never seen anything like it,

1770
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:09,400
Speaker 1: and it's amazing. So we have like a regular turf

1771
01:27:09,479 --> 01:27:11,320
Speaker 1: field that's just the width, but it's only about ten

1772
01:27:11,400 --> 01:27:15,560
Speaker 1: yards long. In these big projector screens pull down and

1773
01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:20,679
Speaker 1: it'll have our projector. It's like three massive theater size

1774
01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:23,720
Speaker 1: projector screens side by side. Yeah. So I mean it's

1775
01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:27,519
Speaker 1: you know, fifty yards why with three different screens, and

1776
01:27:27,600 --> 01:27:30,080
Speaker 1: we use it every day for the offense. Today, the

1777
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:33,320
Speaker 1: skill guys just walked out to the field. Our play

1778
01:27:33,360 --> 01:27:35,439
Speaker 1: would be up on the screen with the plate call.

1779
01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:38,400
Speaker 1: We'd line up, run our routes as it shows on

1780
01:27:38,479 --> 01:27:40,560
Speaker 1: the screen and just walk through it a couple of

1781
01:27:40,600 --> 01:27:42,760
Speaker 1: times and getting that you know kind of rep in

1782
01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:46,120
Speaker 1: before practice. It's drawn up excess and os and you

1783
01:27:46,240 --> 01:27:47,840
Speaker 1: follow the excess and nose where you lie, and how

1784
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:51,400
Speaker 1: much of this offense with the multiple tight ends, multiple receivers,

1785
01:27:51,479 --> 01:27:53,640
Speaker 1: multiple running backs and all these stuff, how much of

1786
01:27:54,080 --> 01:27:57,320
Speaker 1: the offense And difficult was it for you stuff to

1787
01:27:57,400 --> 01:27:59,240
Speaker 1: learn before snap by stuff that you had to learn

1788
01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:02,320
Speaker 1: even before the ball is snapped. There's a whole three

1789
01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:05,040
Speaker 1: or four chapters of your playbook that is has nothing

1790
01:28:05,080 --> 01:28:07,760
Speaker 1: to do with what happens after the balls in play, right. Um,

1791
01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:11,760
Speaker 1: that's been one of the biggest adjustments just pre snap reads. Um,

1792
01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:15,200
Speaker 1: just looking at you know, how the safeties might shift down.

1793
01:28:15,320 --> 01:28:18,760
Speaker 1: Playing with Micah and Jordan Poyer, it's amazing experience because

1794
01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:21,840
Speaker 1: they'll disguise coverage perfect. Um. So you kind of look

1795
01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:23,760
Speaker 1: at what the defense is given you. You have a

1796
01:28:23,840 --> 01:28:26,760
Speaker 1: couple of different options on a couple of routes, and

1797
01:28:26,960 --> 01:28:29,759
Speaker 1: especially blocking wise, you know I could block three different

1798
01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:31,320
Speaker 1: people on a given play, so I kind of have

1799
01:28:31,400 --> 01:28:34,320
Speaker 1: to look at the front establish what I'm gonna block them.

1800
01:28:34,320 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 1: When the ball snap that could that could change. Um.

1801
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:40,400
Speaker 1: So having those screens kind of helps, you know, getting

1802
01:28:40,439 --> 01:28:43,000
Speaker 1: that mental rep in I'm saying, Steve, it's a learning

1803
01:28:43,040 --> 01:28:45,639
Speaker 1: tool to have those plays projected and you can stand

1804
01:28:45,680 --> 01:28:48,760
Speaker 1: there on a turf field and kind of act through it.

1805
01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:51,640
Speaker 1: It's got to be much more beneficial to learn than

1806
01:28:51,800 --> 01:28:54,400
Speaker 1: sitting on your butt in a desk and writing something

1807
01:28:54,439 --> 01:28:59,200
Speaker 1: down right static thing. Yeah, yeah, it's completely different. Um.

1808
01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:02,639
Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm a big like do it yourself learner.

1809
01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:05,560
Speaker 1: So actually going out and walking through it is you

1810
01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:07,840
Speaker 1: know what, will kind of make it solidified in my

1811
01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:10,120
Speaker 1: brain at least. I think most of the guys are

1812
01:29:10,160 --> 01:29:12,360
Speaker 1: like that too, instead of just looking up at a whiteboard,

1813
01:29:12,400 --> 01:29:14,160
Speaker 1: you know, taking notes. It's one thing to do that,

1814
01:29:14,320 --> 01:29:16,720
Speaker 1: but once you actually get on the field, you want

1815
01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:19,000
Speaker 1: to have that sense you know you've already walked through it,

1816
01:29:19,160 --> 01:29:20,720
Speaker 1: you know the steps, you know what it's supposed to

1817
01:29:20,760 --> 01:29:23,000
Speaker 1: look like. One more question for you for me off field,

1818
01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:25,640
Speaker 1: you had that six week hiatus in between the end

1819
01:29:25,680 --> 01:29:28,400
Speaker 1: of the rookie camp there Rika June and coming back

1820
01:29:28,439 --> 01:29:30,240
Speaker 1: here in July. What'd you do? Did you go anywhere good?

1821
01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:32,439
Speaker 1: Did you? Yeah? So I actually went straight down to

1822
01:29:32,520 --> 01:29:34,479
Speaker 1: the beach with my family. If we take a trip

1823

1824
01:29:37,840 --> 01:29:40,679

1825
01:29:41,320 --> 01:29:44,560
Speaker 1: probably about twenty of us down there. Just did that

1826
01:29:44,680 --> 01:29:46,920
Speaker 1: for a week and then went back up to Nashville

1827
01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:49,080
Speaker 1: for a while and trained for about a week and

1828
01:29:49,080 --> 01:29:52,280
Speaker 1: a half. It on miss also good times. Yeah right, yeah,

1829
01:29:52,360 --> 01:29:54,600
Speaker 1: it gets Yeah, don't forget to do that after the

1830
01:29:54,720 --> 01:29:57,840
Speaker 1: next season either, right right, that's what I say. Yeah, yeah,

Speaker 1: nowhere done when he might be out of concussion protocol.

1846
01:30:51,439 --> 01:30:54,280
Speaker 1: He will not play Friday. The goal, according to McDermott,

1847
01:30:54,320 --> 01:30:56,400
Speaker 1: is to see whether he'll be good by the end

1848
01:30:56,439 --> 01:30:58,320
Speaker 1: of the week. Maybe they get him in next week,

1849
01:30:58,360 --> 01:31:00,400
Speaker 1: who knows, but he will not play. Mitch Morse has

01:32:24,360 --> 01:32:26,800
Speaker 1: three the Show John Murphy Steve Tasker in our one

1877
01:32:26,840 --> 01:32:30,759

1878
01:32:30,840 --> 01:32:33,719
Speaker 1: Luis Jacka, and then Dawson Knox. Knox is a likable,

1879
01:32:33,960 --> 01:32:36,759
Speaker 1: a kid who you root for, Steve, and he sounded

1880
01:32:36,880 --> 01:32:39,559
Speaker 1: really sincere when he talked about how much, how much

1881
01:32:39,880 --> 01:32:42,960
Speaker 1: how much he missed a playing and practicing over the

1882
01:32:43,040 --> 01:32:45,320
Speaker 1: last three weeks or so. Yeah, it stinks to be

1883
01:32:45,400 --> 01:32:47,360
Speaker 1: part of the team that you can't be part of

1884
01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:51,519
Speaker 1: the team. Yeah. Yeah, I've been there too, and every

1885
01:32:51,600 --> 01:32:54,519
Speaker 1: football player has at some point, and particularly a guy

1886
01:32:54,560 --> 01:32:56,920
Speaker 1: who's young and his curly in his career like Dawson Knox,

1887
01:32:57,000 --> 01:32:59,840
Speaker 1: as you can feel where you don't you've never been

1888
01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:03,760
Speaker 1: through it at this level. Yeah, it's it's pretty uncomfortable

1889
01:33:03,880 --> 01:33:06,240
Speaker 1: not to be out there taking part, I'm sure, and

1890
01:33:06,880 --> 01:33:09,880
Speaker 1: you can tell 's he seems really happy to be

1891
01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:12,280
Speaker 1: back in the saddle, that's for sure. To hear him

1892
01:33:12,360 --> 01:33:17,720
Speaker 1: describe the recovery process and the technology available to him

1893
01:33:17,920 --> 01:33:20,080
Speaker 1: is something you and I talked about way back in

1894
01:33:20,200 --> 01:33:23,080
Speaker 1: April when the brand new Player Performance Center open and

1895
01:33:23,360 --> 01:33:26,519
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox stands here. Now is evidence of how valuable

1896
01:33:26,600 --> 01:33:28,360
Speaker 1: that can be, right, all the stuff they can do

1897
01:33:28,439 --> 01:33:31,560
Speaker 1: in there. Yeah, he was really impressed with, you know,

1898
01:33:31,640 --> 01:33:34,000
Speaker 1: the staff and how many people who knew, really know

1899
01:33:34,040 --> 01:33:36,200
Speaker 1: what they're doing, had their hands on him getting him better,

1900
01:33:36,320 --> 01:33:38,120
Speaker 1: doing a lot of things, not just the stuff to

1901
01:33:38,160 --> 01:33:42,000
Speaker 1: get his leg healthy, but keep him in shape, keep

1902
01:33:42,080 --> 01:33:44,880
Speaker 1: him sharp mentally, give him a chance to stay on

1903
01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:48,160
Speaker 1: schedule with the team and get back out so when

1904
01:33:48,160 --> 01:33:50,560
Speaker 1: he does get back on the field. Theoretically, when he

1905
01:33:50,600 --> 01:33:52,759
Speaker 1: gets back on the field on Friday to take reps

1906
01:33:52,840 --> 01:33:55,880
Speaker 1: in a live game, he's one hundred percent and it's

1907
01:33:56,040 --> 01:33:58,160
Speaker 1: as if he was never gone. So that's that's the

1908
01:33:58,240 --> 01:34:02,320
Speaker 1: real trick. And he is really impressed with how many

1909
01:34:02,360 --> 01:34:04,439
Speaker 1: people were helping him do that. Yeah, good to me.

1910
01:34:04,600 --> 01:34:06,280
Speaker 1: It'll be good to see him on the field on Friday.

1911

1924
01:34:38,200 --> 01:34:40,880
Speaker 1: want to see more success from the defense. I'll squeeze

1925
01:34:40,920 --> 01:34:42,519
Speaker 1: in a couple of phone calls. Here, we'll go to

1926
01:34:42,600 --> 01:34:46,720
Speaker 1: Mark and Amherst. Go ahead, Mark around the air. Yes, Hi,

1927
01:34:47,080 --> 01:34:50,120
Speaker 1: this is I like to ask. I'd like the biggest

1928
01:34:50,120 --> 01:34:54,519
Speaker 1: statement with for Steve that he reminds me he could

1929
01:34:54,560 --> 01:35:01,200
Speaker 1: have been Bobby Chandler. That's a statement, but it's Steve

1930
01:35:01,240 --> 01:35:05,519
Speaker 1: remind you of that tight end on which is oh Dawson.

1931
01:35:05,600 --> 01:35:10,960
Speaker 1: Women who reminds you of Bobby Chandler? Steve, you remember

1932
01:35:11,080 --> 01:35:12,880
Speaker 1: you don't remember Bobby Chandler. I do. He's a great

1933
01:35:12,880 --> 01:35:16,720
Speaker 1: player USC receiver. Yeah, I'll say thank you, Mark. I

1934
01:35:16,760 --> 01:35:21,160
Speaker 1: appreciate a good player. I mean, yes, But my question,

1935
01:35:21,520 --> 01:35:26,720
Speaker 1: it's interesting you had Scott or Dawson Scott, and my

1936
01:35:26,960 --> 01:35:34,200
Speaker 1: question was for the tight ends, why and who would

1937
01:35:34,280 --> 01:35:38,080
Speaker 1: it be a good tight end to help our passive

1938
01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:46,280
Speaker 1: pass offense to uh to help Josh out rather than

1939
01:35:46,360 --> 01:35:49,880
Speaker 1: be a blocker. I mean, it seems like we haven't

1940
01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:54,400
Speaker 1: had a good tight end since Pete Massi liars to

1941
01:35:54,520 --> 01:35:59,920
Speaker 1: be a to be a receiver and help the quarterback out. Well,

1942
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:03,120
Speaker 1: I think here's the thing. You're right. I get you.

1943
01:36:03,280 --> 01:36:05,000
Speaker 1: You you want to tight end that can get open

1944
01:36:05,080 --> 01:36:07,559
Speaker 1: down the field. But if you're gonna play tight end,

1945
01:36:07,560 --> 01:36:09,080
Speaker 1: you also have to be an inline blocker, and I

1946
01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:12,360
Speaker 1: know that there are some guys. Jason Krum is thought

1947
01:36:12,439 --> 01:36:14,840
Speaker 1: to be a much better receiving tight end than he

1948
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:17,000
Speaker 1: is a blocking tight end, and he's actually a really

1949
01:36:17,080 --> 01:36:20,320
Speaker 1: good athlete. These two young guys, Tommy Sweeney and Dawson

1950
01:36:20,439 --> 01:36:22,840
Speaker 1: Knox seem to be more well rounded tight ends who

1951
01:36:22,880 --> 01:36:25,160
Speaker 1: can do both. Tommy Sweeney has certainly showed up in

1952
01:36:25,200 --> 01:36:27,800
Speaker 1: the passing game that last week in Caroline. I don't

1953
01:36:27,800 --> 01:36:29,240
Speaker 1: know what you were watching if you didn't see that,

1954
01:36:30,280 --> 01:36:34,240
Speaker 1: but that is there as well. Now Lee Smith, he's

1955
01:36:34,280 --> 01:36:37,240
Speaker 1: totally a blocking tight end. He's an in line block

1956
01:36:37,320 --> 01:36:40,599
Speaker 1: and tight end who has caught some passes last year

1957
01:36:40,720 --> 01:36:43,680
Speaker 1: in Oakland, but he's known as a blocking tight end,

1958
01:36:43,760 --> 01:36:46,880
Speaker 1: So I M yeah. I mean, here's one thing you

1959
01:36:46,920 --> 01:36:49,519
Speaker 1: got to remember too, when when you got a really

1960
01:36:49,600 --> 01:36:52,280
Speaker 1: good quarterback and a really good offense, chances are you're

1961
01:36:52,280 --> 01:36:54,360
Speaker 1: going to find a really good tight end in there somewhere.

1962
01:36:54,880 --> 01:36:57,519
Speaker 1: Most teams do, and most of it has to do

1963
01:36:57,600 --> 01:37:01,040
Speaker 1: with the exact same reason that Tommy. Tommy Sweeney has

1964
01:37:01,080 --> 01:37:04,000
Speaker 1: been shown up on our radar. He got the opportunity,

1965
01:37:04,040 --> 01:37:06,799
Speaker 1: he's got a quarterback that's looking for him. It's that simple.

1966
01:37:06,920 --> 01:37:10,320
Speaker 1: I'm really eager to see what they do when whatever

1967
01:37:10,400 --> 01:37:13,200
Speaker 1: the limited number of snaps are for Dawson Knox right,

1968
01:37:13,360 --> 01:37:16,240
Speaker 1: because we know, yes, we've seen what Tommy Sweeney can do,

1969
01:37:16,400 --> 01:37:18,599
Speaker 1: what he has done. I'm not saying they've seen enough.

1970
01:37:18,760 --> 01:37:21,200
Speaker 1: But I want to see Dawson Knox now, right, don't

1971
01:37:21,240 --> 01:37:24,280
Speaker 1: you know, especially when you saw him practice with Josh

1972
01:37:24,360 --> 01:37:27,840
Speaker 1: Allen this spring and saw an almost instant connection between

1973
01:37:27,880 --> 01:37:30,439
Speaker 1: the two. Love to see something like that develop in

1974
01:37:30,600 --> 01:37:33,559
Speaker 1: this preseason game number three Friday Night. It really wouldst Yeah,

1975
01:37:33,600 --> 01:37:37,439
Speaker 1: I'm I'm with you. I know they'll probably ask him

1976
01:37:37,479 --> 01:37:39,320
Speaker 1: to block in a running game and I'll have his

1977
01:37:39,360 --> 01:37:40,840
Speaker 1: hand in the dirt, But you know, I want to

1978
01:37:40,880 --> 01:37:43,960
Speaker 1: see him do what we've seen Tommy Sweeney do. I

1979
01:37:44,040 --> 01:37:46,519
Speaker 1: want to see him get that opportunity. I want to

1980
01:37:46,520 --> 01:37:49,000
Speaker 1: see him do it even better. I mean, let's let's why,

1981
01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:51,519
Speaker 1: you know why limited. I want to see him do

1982
01:37:51,520 --> 01:37:55,080
Speaker 1: it better. You know, I'm sure the coaches want to

1983
01:37:55,120 --> 01:37:58,439
Speaker 1: see him do it better. So we don't know. We

1984
01:37:58,479 --> 01:38:00,000
Speaker 1: haven't seen him play. I want to see him play.

1985
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:02,320
Speaker 1: Here's a question for your preseason question, going back to

1986
01:38:02,400 --> 01:38:04,240
Speaker 1: your experience as a player, and being around the game

1987
01:38:04,240 --> 01:38:06,320
Speaker 1: for as long as you have. How much do you

1988
01:38:06,560 --> 01:38:10,320
Speaker 1: look I know winning is not the object obviously in

1989
01:38:10,400 --> 01:38:12,880
Speaker 1: preseason games, but how much do coaches go into a

1990
01:38:12,960 --> 01:38:16,000
Speaker 1: game saying, hey, let's a preseason game saying hey, let's

1991
01:38:16,040 --> 01:38:19,160
Speaker 1: get a good long look at player X. In other words, well,

1992
01:38:19,200 --> 01:38:21,720
Speaker 1: the best coaches go into this game, whether it's the

1993
01:38:21,760 --> 01:38:24,479
Speaker 1: tight end coach or Bryan Dable or Sean mcdonumer, can

1994
01:38:24,520 --> 01:38:26,519
Speaker 1: say we know what we got on Sweeney, Let's take

1995
01:38:26,560 --> 01:38:28,439
Speaker 1: a look at what we have in Dawson Knox. That's

1996
01:38:28,439 --> 01:38:29,960
Speaker 1: the only time they ever do it. Is it the

1997
01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:31,840
Speaker 1: preseason games. They'll come in and say, listen, if if

1998
01:38:31,880 --> 01:38:33,559
Speaker 1: he gets in there, I want to make sure we run.

1999
01:38:34,120 --> 01:38:36,160
Speaker 1: They may they're not gonna give you twenty plays or

2000
01:38:36,200 --> 01:38:39,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna say it listen, they're not. They're not Josh

2001
01:38:39,200 --> 01:38:41,240
Speaker 1: Allen where you go in this first preseason game against

2002
01:38:41,240 --> 01:38:43,240
Speaker 1: the Colts, say we're gonna throw this ball eleven straight

2003
01:38:43,280 --> 01:38:45,840
Speaker 1: times or seventeen out of eighteen times. We're not hand.

2004
01:38:45,880 --> 01:38:47,760
Speaker 1: I want to see him throw it. They don't do

2005
01:38:47,920 --> 01:38:49,720
Speaker 1: that for a tight end because you got other guys

2006
01:38:49,800 --> 01:38:52,960
Speaker 1: you're thinking about. Particularly in the third preseason game. This

2007
01:38:53,200 --> 01:38:56,280
Speaker 1: may be a chance where listen, we're gonna this isn't

2008
01:38:56,280 --> 01:39:01,360
Speaker 1: about Dawson Knox. This is about Josh Alan, Lashawn McCoy,

2009
01:39:01,520 --> 01:39:04,200
Speaker 1: Frank Gore in the offensive line. We'll try and get

2010
01:39:04,280 --> 01:39:05,760
Speaker 1: him a throw in there once in a while, but

2011
01:39:05,840 --> 01:39:08,519
Speaker 1: we want to see what. We'll call his number maybe

2012
01:39:08,600 --> 01:39:10,920
Speaker 1: once or twice, but we're not This isn't about Dawson Knox.

2013
01:39:10,960 --> 01:39:12,840
Speaker 1: This is about Josh. This is about the Ones. This

2014
01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:15,120
Speaker 1: third preseason game is a little bit of a different animal.

2015
01:39:16,040 --> 01:39:19,439
Speaker 1: Next week there could be a situation where I say, okay,

2016
01:39:20,200 --> 01:39:22,800
Speaker 1: next three, This next series is Dawson Knox series. You know,

2017
01:39:22,800 --> 01:39:25,800
Speaker 1: because it's the fourth preseason game, right, they probably won't

2018
01:39:25,840 --> 01:39:28,360
Speaker 1: do that tonight because it's about the Ones tonight this

2019
01:39:28,520 --> 01:39:31,920
Speaker 1: week instead of instead of you know, like we're asking about,

2020
01:39:31,960 --> 01:39:33,599
Speaker 1: you know, it's Dawson Knox. Is gonna get looked at?

2021
01:39:33,880 --> 01:39:35,360
Speaker 1: Is he gonna get a chance to do what Tommy

2022
01:39:35,360 --> 01:39:37,200
Speaker 1: Sweeney is his number gonna get called? His number might

2023
01:39:37,240 --> 01:39:39,559
Speaker 1: get called, but it's not gonna be like Cole Beasley

2024
01:39:39,640 --> 01:39:41,840
Speaker 1: last week? And why was it that way last week?

2025
01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:45,360
Speaker 1: But just get Josh ready or just I mean, it's

2026
01:39:45,360 --> 01:39:47,559
Speaker 1: got to be down in distance related and the books

2027
01:39:47,600 --> 01:39:49,160
Speaker 1: they get right. Yeah, I think so. I think it

2028
01:39:49,240 --> 01:39:51,720
Speaker 1: was a little bit of that, And I think they

2029
01:39:51,760 --> 01:39:54,960
Speaker 1: don't have a problem calling Cole Beasley's number. You know,

2030
01:39:55,280 --> 01:39:57,560
Speaker 1: they did it to Tommy Sweeney too. They called his

2031
01:39:57,680 --> 01:39:59,800
Speaker 1: number a couple of times. I think it was more

2032
01:40:00,040 --> 01:40:04,400
Speaker 1: about Josh allen Um feeling comfortable, uh, and just saying,

2033
01:40:04,400 --> 01:40:06,599
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna see what I like Cole,

2034
01:40:06,640 --> 01:40:08,720
Speaker 1: We've been having a good week of practice. It's I

2035
01:40:08,720 --> 01:40:10,960
Speaker 1: think it's more about Josh making just decide he wanted

2036
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:14,479
Speaker 1: to do it, rather than any thing the coaches did. Yeah, okay,

2037
01:40:14,720 --> 01:40:20,120
Speaker 1: here's marketing Buffalo. Hi, Mark, you're on the air with us. Hello, Hi. Yeah.

2038
01:40:20,200 --> 01:40:22,840
Speaker 1: I think John Brown we need to see a little work.

2039
01:40:23,040 --> 01:40:27,000
Speaker 1: He didn't playing preseason. Well, he didn't play last week,

2040
01:40:27,120 --> 01:40:29,680
Speaker 1: he played the week before. How much more did they

2041
01:40:29,800 --> 01:40:31,519
Speaker 1: need to see? If John Brown we've seen it and

2042
01:40:31,560 --> 01:40:34,479
Speaker 1: see we have the benefit of watching practice and especially

2043
01:40:34,560 --> 01:40:38,320
Speaker 1: those early training camp practices. Steve when when he was sensational, Like,

2044
01:40:38,600 --> 01:40:40,679
Speaker 1: didn't we make him the MVP a camp best player

2045
01:40:40,760 --> 01:40:42,720
Speaker 1: on the field of training camp at Rochester? Yeah? He was.

2046
01:40:42,840 --> 01:40:44,559
Speaker 1: He's really good And I think they feel a lot

2047
01:40:44,720 --> 01:40:48,160
Speaker 1: really confident in him. I think maybe maybe we're looking

2048
01:40:48,200 --> 01:40:50,400
Speaker 1: at one of those situations where they know what they've gotten.

2049
01:40:50,400 --> 01:40:52,200
Speaker 1: They're saying, listen, we're gonna keep him under wraps for

2050
01:40:52,240 --> 01:40:54,200
Speaker 1: the preseason, will unfurl him when we see when we

2051
01:40:54,240 --> 01:40:56,320
Speaker 1: get to New York. Maybe maybe something like that. I

2052
01:40:56,720 --> 01:40:58,280
Speaker 1: kind of doubt that. I think it's more of the

2053
01:40:58,360 --> 01:41:00,599
Speaker 1: fact that you know, they gave him the night completely

2054
01:41:00,680 --> 01:41:03,599
Speaker 1: off in Carolina after the work he did down there,

2055
01:41:03,640 --> 01:41:07,280
Speaker 1: So I think they're confident in him. If you don't

2056
01:41:07,360 --> 01:41:11,479
Speaker 1: see him more, I think it's probably by design that

2057
01:41:11,560 --> 01:41:14,400
Speaker 1: you're not seeing him, rather than him not playing well,

2058
01:41:14,520 --> 01:41:17,000
Speaker 1: or that they don't have any confidence, or or that

2059
01:41:17,120 --> 01:41:21,080
Speaker 1: they don't know what they've already got in him. Call

2060
01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:23,720
Speaker 1: here from Matt and Blaisdell. Hello, Matt, Welcome to the show.

2061
01:41:23,760 --> 01:41:26,160
Speaker 1: You're on the air with this. Hey guys, it's want

2062
01:41:26,200 --> 01:41:27,599
Speaker 1: to chame in and then what I want to see

2063
01:41:27,600 --> 01:41:32,000
Speaker 1: in the preseasons. I really think they just need to

2064
01:41:32,760 --> 01:41:34,639
Speaker 1: hold everybody back, and I like the Colts are doing

2065
01:41:34,680 --> 01:41:36,840
Speaker 1: this week. I really think they have little the game.

2066
01:41:37,240 --> 01:41:40,479
Speaker 1: I saw what I wanted to see from Josh to

2067
01:41:41,040 --> 01:41:44,040
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley last week. I think I'm good. I think

2068
01:41:44,080 --> 01:41:46,040
Speaker 1: if they play this week and somebody were to get

2069
01:41:46,120 --> 01:41:47,680
Speaker 1: hurt or to look back and say it was a

2070
01:41:47,760 --> 01:41:50,800
Speaker 1: gigantic waste of time, I feel like they got a

2071
01:41:50,880 --> 01:41:54,200
Speaker 1: very very little. The game and the season really rights

2072
01:41:54,280 --> 01:41:57,240
Speaker 1: on the quarterback, and there's really little reason for him

2073
01:41:57,280 --> 01:42:00,559
Speaker 1: to play, in my opinion, I'll hang up and listen, Steve,

2074
01:42:00,640 --> 01:42:04,200
Speaker 1: you belong in the Hall of Fame. Thanks. Yeah, thanks, Matt.

2075
01:42:06,200 --> 01:42:09,360
Speaker 1: That's a good call. I mean, I get it. I

2076
01:42:09,520 --> 01:42:11,960
Speaker 1: think this is a team that really still feels like

2077
01:42:12,760 --> 01:42:14,880
Speaker 1: they want to get some reps in with some guys

2078
01:42:14,960 --> 01:42:16,960
Speaker 1: they want to see play. They want to give guys

2079
01:42:17,000 --> 01:42:19,280
Speaker 1: a chance to get acclimated. They've got some young players

2080
01:42:19,320 --> 01:42:22,040
Speaker 1: on the roster like Dawson Knox, like Tommy Sweeney, like

2081
01:42:22,400 --> 01:42:25,439
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver, even Tremaine Edmonds and Josh Allen to a

2082
01:42:25,520 --> 01:42:28,120
Speaker 1: certain extent, they want to get those guys some reps

2083
01:42:28,160 --> 01:42:30,280
Speaker 1: so that they can get acclimated and more and more

2084
01:42:30,400 --> 01:42:33,040
Speaker 1: comfortable with the environment they're gonna be living and working in.

2085
01:42:33,680 --> 01:42:36,720
Speaker 1: So I get what you're saying, and you're right. If

2086
01:42:36,800 --> 01:42:39,280
Speaker 1: they do get somebody that's near and dear to their

2087
01:42:39,360 --> 01:42:40,960
Speaker 1: heart hurt in one of these games, they're going to

2088
01:42:41,040 --> 01:42:45,120
Speaker 1: regret it. But still, they're playing football, and you got

2089
01:42:45,240 --> 01:42:46,840
Speaker 1: to get them ready, and the only way to do

2090
01:42:46,920 --> 01:42:48,479
Speaker 1: it really is to give them some action like this.

2091
01:42:48,600 --> 01:42:51,920
Speaker 1: So I get it. You're right, they're not nothing's gonna change.

2092
01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:54,000
Speaker 1: Some of these guys are gonna be starting if they're healthy.

2093
01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:56,400
Speaker 1: They're gonna be starting no matter what, and they're gonna

2094
01:42:56,439 --> 01:43:02,280
Speaker 1: play well. And I see your point. I see your point.

2095
01:43:02,360 --> 01:43:05,360
Speaker 1: I can't really disagree with it, except the fact that

2096
01:43:05,560 --> 01:43:07,360
Speaker 1: i'd kind of like, just I'm ready to see him

2097
01:43:07,360 --> 01:43:10,519
Speaker 1: start playing, Yeah, real games. And it's a balancing act, right,

2098
01:43:10,760 --> 01:43:13,240
Speaker 1: I mean, every every preseason game, you're like, we want,

2099
01:43:13,360 --> 01:43:16,479
Speaker 1: we want to get some cohesion here, you know, anybody hurt.

2100
01:43:16,680 --> 01:43:19,120
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. And I've just played Devil's advocate here.

2101
01:43:19,120 --> 01:43:20,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do with preseason, by the way,

2102
01:43:20,880 --> 01:43:22,639
Speaker 1: I honestly don't know what to do with these games.

2103
01:43:22,720 --> 01:43:25,080
Speaker 1: But let me you know what happens if if people

2104
01:43:25,120 --> 01:43:27,800
Speaker 1: don't play, if starters don't play, if timing is not

2105
01:43:28,560 --> 01:43:31,320
Speaker 1: honed in on during preseason games, you get to week

2106
01:43:31,400 --> 01:43:34,639
Speaker 1: one and you look, it looks sloppy. It looks sloppy

2107
01:43:34,680 --> 01:43:36,679
Speaker 1: because well that's the first time we've had this group together.

2108
01:43:36,760 --> 01:43:39,599
Speaker 1: I worry about that too. Look, there's only sixteen games.

2109
01:43:40,000 --> 01:43:43,040
Speaker 1: There's only sixteen regular season games. Can any team really

2110
01:43:43,040 --> 01:43:45,559
Speaker 1: afford to start out saying, wow, this is week one,

2111
01:43:45,640 --> 01:43:48,720
Speaker 1: September eighth, we really will be have everything tuned up

2112
01:43:48,720 --> 01:43:51,439
Speaker 1: by next week. They never admitted, but I wonder if

2113
01:43:51,479 --> 01:43:54,760
Speaker 1: that happens now, Steve, because of the way teams play preseason,

2114
01:43:54,960 --> 01:43:57,760
Speaker 1: you know it probably does. Week one is sloppy, Week

2115
01:43:57,800 --> 01:43:59,760
Speaker 1: two can be sloppy. Those were awful the first two

2116
01:43:59,800 --> 01:44:02,559
Speaker 1: weeks last year. Well, the team that's been the gold

2117
01:44:02,640 --> 01:44:05,720
Speaker 1: standard for the last twenty years in New England, they'll

2118
01:44:05,760 --> 01:44:07,840
Speaker 1: tell you that their first four weeks is all about them.

2119
01:44:07,920 --> 01:44:10,160
Speaker 1: They're trying to find out who they are against real

2120
01:44:10,280 --> 01:44:14,639
Speaker 1: live action. They obviously earned during that time. They managed

2121
01:44:14,680 --> 01:44:16,320
Speaker 1: to win a lot of games in that first month.

2122
01:44:16,360 --> 01:44:18,160
Speaker 1: But I know this too that not as many as

2123
01:44:18,160 --> 01:44:21,679
Speaker 1: they win in the last month. Exactly. They're they're easier

2124
01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:23,360
Speaker 1: to get in the first month of the season than

2125
01:44:23,400 --> 01:44:25,200
Speaker 1: they are late in the season because they are they

2126
01:44:25,240 --> 01:44:27,120
Speaker 1: don't really know who they are. And I think that's

2127
01:44:27,520 --> 01:44:29,240
Speaker 1: been one of the things that New England has never

2128
01:44:29,320 --> 01:44:32,320
Speaker 1: gotten enough credit for, is the fact that their first

2129
01:44:32,400 --> 01:44:36,160
Speaker 1: four regular season games are about them, not their opponents.

2130
01:44:36,200 --> 01:44:38,120
Speaker 1: They're still trying to find out who they are, and

2131
01:44:38,240 --> 01:44:42,960
Speaker 1: then once they do find out, then they go from there.

2132
01:44:43,120 --> 01:44:46,680
Speaker 1: And you know, you know, I've said this, like, you

2133
01:44:46,760 --> 01:44:48,240
Speaker 1: get those guys earlier in the year, and they when

2134
01:44:48,240 --> 01:44:50,240
Speaker 1: they don't really know exactly who they've got there, they're

2135
01:44:50,240 --> 01:44:52,800
Speaker 1: a little easier enough about them, what about us? So

2136
01:44:52,920 --> 01:44:54,840
Speaker 1: I think that's what is that the way to do it?

2137
01:44:54,960 --> 01:44:57,280
Speaker 1: It's a delicate balance because if they are the gold

2138
01:44:57,320 --> 01:44:59,280
Speaker 1: center they are, is that the way to do it?

2139
01:45:00,040 --> 01:45:03,080
Speaker 1: They're like, say, well, preseason whatever, We'll take the month

2140
01:45:03,120 --> 01:45:05,360
Speaker 1: of September to know about us to put our get

2141
01:45:05,400 --> 01:45:07,240
Speaker 1: our right hand. Well, if you got what you need

2142
01:45:07,360 --> 01:45:10,760
Speaker 1: to do, you know me. I have never been one

2143
01:45:10,840 --> 01:45:15,479
Speaker 1: to think that their guy at quarterback is the reason

2144
01:45:15,560 --> 01:45:17,120
Speaker 1: they're all having all. I say, he's a big part

2145
01:45:17,160 --> 01:45:18,320
Speaker 1: of it, but he is a big part of their

2146
01:45:18,320 --> 01:45:20,320
Speaker 1: early success in those season. That guy comes in ready

2147
01:45:20,320 --> 01:45:23,080
Speaker 1: to play. I don't think the Buffalo Bills can afford

2148
01:45:23,280 --> 01:45:26,480
Speaker 1: to go in there and not play anybody in the preseason,

2149
01:45:27,800 --> 01:45:30,519
Speaker 1: do all the experimentation you want, and never have anybody

2150
01:45:30,600 --> 01:45:32,639
Speaker 1: anything set in stone, and then show up on week

2151
01:45:32,720 --> 01:45:35,120
Speaker 1: one and say, you know, we're we think this is

2152
01:45:35,160 --> 01:45:37,720
Speaker 1: who we are. We'll see. I don't think they're they're

2153
01:45:38,160 --> 01:45:40,320
Speaker 1: at that spot yet. Who's that that spout? Just New

2154
01:45:40,360 --> 01:45:43,560
Speaker 1: England anybody else? I think Tom Brady is, Yeah, you know,

2155
01:45:43,760 --> 01:45:47,200
Speaker 1: I think Aaron Rodgers is, and I think I think

2156
01:45:47,240 --> 01:45:50,040
Speaker 1: when you got a guy like that, he can overcome

2157
01:45:50,120 --> 01:45:54,599
Speaker 1: some continuity issues up front and around him by making

2158
01:45:54,840 --> 01:45:58,280
Speaker 1: some great throws. But for the Bills, it is a

2159
01:45:58,360 --> 01:46:00,600
Speaker 1: delicate balance. You want to get your guy sharp, you

2160
01:46:00,640 --> 01:46:02,439
Speaker 1: want to get him ready, but you don't want to

2161
01:46:02,439 --> 01:46:06,320
Speaker 1: expose them to injury. You don't want to do anything silly.

2162
01:46:06,600 --> 01:46:09,960
Speaker 1: You don't want to run quarterback keepers on naked boots

2163
01:46:10,040 --> 01:46:11,960
Speaker 1: to the first down at the pylon with a guy

2164
01:46:12,040 --> 01:46:13,519
Speaker 1: closing on him. You don't want to do the stuff

2165
01:46:13,560 --> 01:46:16,120
Speaker 1: like that, have him drop back, get rid of the football,

2166
01:46:16,600 --> 01:46:22,160
Speaker 1: and get it out on time. That's this preseason thing

2167
01:46:22,280 --> 01:46:24,439
Speaker 1: is all a balance. Yeah, I don't know what it's

2168
01:46:24,439 --> 01:46:26,800
Speaker 1: all about. Season. I mean, we've talked about I'll tell

2169
01:46:26,800 --> 01:46:28,760
Speaker 1: you what. We'll talk about it next week. When we

2170
01:46:28,840 --> 01:46:31,840
Speaker 1: get to that fourth preseason game and nobody plays a

2171
01:46:31,880 --> 01:46:34,559
Speaker 1: week from tomorrow, you'll have people telling you that, Listen,

2172
01:46:35,479 --> 01:46:37,960
Speaker 1: he got injured because he wasn't ready to play, because

2173
01:46:37,960 --> 01:46:39,720
Speaker 1: he couldn't get sharp enough in the preseason, because he

2174
01:46:39,760 --> 01:46:42,160
Speaker 1: didn't get enough reps. He didn't And then there is

2175
01:46:42,240 --> 01:46:44,680
Speaker 1: something to the fact that when you're in practice and

2176
01:46:44,760 --> 01:46:46,760
Speaker 1: you're doing that, when you get into a game, it's

2177
01:46:46,920 --> 01:46:50,040
Speaker 1: ramped up and you're playing against another guy that's ramped up,

2178
01:46:50,479 --> 01:46:52,040
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, if you haven't seen that

2179
01:46:52,160 --> 01:46:53,920
Speaker 1: for eight months, or if you've never seen it in

2180
01:46:53,960 --> 01:46:56,360
Speaker 1: your life, because you're a rookie and you ask your

2181
01:46:56,400 --> 01:46:59,160
Speaker 1: body to do something or compensate for the pace of play,

2182
01:46:59,240 --> 01:47:01,240
Speaker 1: and the guy you're playing in with all of a sudden,

2183
01:47:01,320 --> 01:47:04,479
Speaker 1: yeah you blow a hamstring. Yeah, you twist an ankle, Yeah,

2184
01:47:04,520 --> 01:47:09,360
Speaker 1: you overextend and you get hurt because you're not acclimated

2185
01:47:09,400 --> 01:47:14,679
Speaker 1: to the pace or the competitive level. Well that that's

2186
01:47:14,720 --> 01:47:17,080
Speaker 1: the balance. On the other side, you can't strike, you know,

2187
01:47:17,120 --> 01:47:19,840
Speaker 1: because you're not sharp, you're not ready. So you get

2188
01:47:19,880 --> 01:47:22,880
Speaker 1: these young guys like Dawson Knox, like Tommy Sweeney, like

2189
01:47:23,200 --> 01:47:26,479
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver. You gotta get them in there and get like, listen,

2190
01:47:26,520 --> 01:47:29,040
Speaker 1: this is what it's gonna be. Get ready so they

2191
01:47:29,080 --> 01:47:31,479
Speaker 1: can get at least between their ears have an idea

2192
01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:33,360
Speaker 1: of what they're jumping into on week one. Yeah, this

2193
01:47:33,439 --> 01:47:35,320
Speaker 1: would be a big topic next week because we know

2194
01:47:35,400 --> 01:47:40,479
Speaker 1: how Game four goes. It's it's the it's the glacier

2195
01:47:40,760 --> 01:47:44,960
Speaker 1: of football games. I mean, I said, you're gonna have

2196
01:47:45,320 --> 01:47:48,920
Speaker 1: fifteen punts in that game. Fifteen. We still got number

2197
01:47:48,960 --> 01:47:50,560
Speaker 1: three coming up. We don't know what you're looking to

2210
01:48:22,160 --> 01:48:24,040
Speaker 1: to yea the tweet sheet. It is brought to you

2211
01:48:24,160 --> 01:48:27,160
Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems. The official movers of the Buffalo Bills.

2212
01:48:27,439 --> 01:48:31,719
Speaker 1: From Zach, he says the first two quarterbacks the Bills faced,

2213
01:48:31,760 --> 01:48:34,360
Speaker 1: he means, we're not starters. True tests for the past

2214
01:48:34,400 --> 01:48:37,000
Speaker 1: defense will be when they're against the elite talent. If

2215
01:48:37,040 --> 01:48:41,200
Speaker 1: Stafford plays, Stafford gonna play, I don't know. I'll check

2216
01:48:41,280 --> 01:48:44,120
Speaker 1: on that tonight. He hasn't played yet. Yeah, we'll see.

2217
01:48:44,640 --> 01:48:47,920
Speaker 1: And from Jack Zack and Jack. Jack says, to pick one,

2218
01:48:48,280 --> 01:48:50,679
Speaker 1: I want to see Tommy Sweeney continue to take advantage

2219
01:48:50,680 --> 01:48:53,920
Speaker 1: of his opportunity and grab a starting spot. He was

2220
01:48:54,000 --> 01:48:56,760
Speaker 1: my precamp dark horse. I loved him at BC. I

2221
01:48:56,880 --> 01:48:59,000
Speaker 1: also finally want to see what the injury plague but

2222
01:48:59,080 --> 01:49:02,120
Speaker 1: athletic Dawson knocks can do in live action. Is he

2223
01:49:02,200 --> 01:49:04,800
Speaker 1: injury plagued? Well? I said there was his first hand

2224
01:49:04,840 --> 01:49:08,360
Speaker 1: spring poll. Ever, yeah, miss three weeks and let's face it,

2225
01:49:08,520 --> 01:49:10,360
Speaker 1: Jack just admitted he is the only reason you wanted

2226
01:49:10,360 --> 01:49:12,639
Speaker 1: to see Tommy Sweeney play because he's predicted his success

2227
01:49:12,760 --> 01:49:14,479
Speaker 1: so it makes him look good and doesn't care about

2228
01:49:14,479 --> 01:49:18,479
Speaker 1: Tommy Sweeney. You do that. Talking about From Nick, he

2229
01:49:18,560 --> 01:49:20,839
Speaker 1: also says I'd love to see some offensive line stability,

2230
01:49:20,880 --> 01:49:23,200
Speaker 1: a clean pocket, and time for Josh also would be

2231
01:49:23,280 --> 01:49:26,400
Speaker 1: nice to have Josh Allen find wide receivers in stride

2232
01:49:26,840 --> 01:49:29,840
Speaker 1: for some yak yards yards after catch instead of falling

2233
01:49:29,920 --> 01:49:32,680
Speaker 1: to the floor for some low passes. I'd love to

2234
01:49:32,720 --> 01:49:35,040
Speaker 1: see Duke Williams put on a solid performance for a

2235
01:49:35,160 --> 01:49:38,160
Speaker 1: roster spot. Bills need a big bodied wide receiver. That

2236
01:49:38,680 --> 01:49:40,920
Speaker 1: was one of the big questions we had earlier this week.

2237
01:49:41,040 --> 01:49:44,320
Speaker 1: Duke Williams flash last week, played well and played consistently

2238
01:49:44,439 --> 01:49:47,560
Speaker 1: well for the three or two quarters he was in

2239
01:49:48,160 --> 01:49:52,840
Speaker 1: for this game. Duke Williams showed up big literally and

2240
01:49:52,920 --> 01:49:59,160
Speaker 1: figuratively last week, and they that's that makes you go along, gush,

2241
01:49:59,240 --> 01:50:01,920
Speaker 1: you know what. We could use a guy like that, sure,

2242
01:50:02,320 --> 01:50:04,800
Speaker 1: because he got room. We got six guys that are

2243
01:50:04,840 --> 01:50:08,439
Speaker 1: five nine and five ten. We got like nobody who's

2244
01:50:08,560 --> 01:50:11,840
Speaker 1: six three, two twenty that did what Duke Williams did

2245
01:50:11,920 --> 01:50:13,720
Speaker 1: last week, not in the run or the pass. And

2246
01:50:13,880 --> 01:50:17,599
Speaker 1: that's that's a big difference. It's a big difference. I'd

2247
01:50:17,640 --> 01:50:20,559
Speaker 1: like to see Duke Williams played well again. The next

2248
01:50:20,600 --> 01:50:23,639
Speaker 1: step yeah from Nathan, He says, I'd like to see

2249
01:50:23,680 --> 01:50:26,400
Speaker 1: how the running back carries pan out between McCoy, gore

2250
01:50:26,520 --> 01:50:29,360
Speaker 1: and Singletary and see how long they each play. You

2251
01:50:29,400 --> 01:50:30,960
Speaker 1: can bet that all three of those guys are gonna

2252
01:50:30,960 --> 01:50:36,280
Speaker 1: see snaps. I think into the second half. Who's that Gore,

2253
01:50:36,800 --> 01:50:40,040
Speaker 1: McCoy and singletary. I think all three was the second half.

2254
01:50:40,040 --> 01:50:42,000
Speaker 1: I think those guys will see see snaps all the

2255
01:50:42,040 --> 01:50:43,720
Speaker 1: way and through this, through the first half and into

2256
01:50:43,720 --> 01:50:45,640
Speaker 1: the second half to see what I want to see that.

2257
01:50:46,200 --> 01:50:47,680
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with it. Yeah, I'm going

2258
01:50:47,720 --> 01:50:50,400
Speaker 1: back to two calls ago. I don't know if I again.

2259
01:50:50,520 --> 01:50:53,880
Speaker 1: You don't want to lose any one of them. Singletary, Gore, McCoy,

2260
01:50:53,920 --> 01:50:57,120
Speaker 1: You don't lose anyone playing him in second half. Get

2261
01:50:57,200 --> 01:50:58,840
Speaker 1: them ready to play, Get him sharp, you know, I

2262
01:50:58,840 --> 01:51:01,080
Speaker 1: mean they gotta You know, they got remember you know

2263
01:51:01,160 --> 01:51:03,519
Speaker 1: what it's like to get Gore and McCoy been around

2264
01:51:03,520 --> 01:51:05,200
Speaker 1: the league so long, you don't think I know, I

2265
01:51:05,320 --> 01:51:07,000
Speaker 1: know it will only take one. And I'm not saying

2266
01:51:07,040 --> 01:51:09,360
Speaker 1: do it through the entire preseason. Just do it for

2267
01:51:09,520 --> 01:51:13,519
Speaker 1: one preseason game. That's all I'm not saying, you know,

2268
01:51:14,200 --> 01:51:16,519
Speaker 1: treat them like rented mules. I'm just saying, give him

2269
01:51:16,560 --> 01:51:19,160
Speaker 1: a chance to play through halftime. Someone would say, playing

2270
01:51:19,200 --> 01:51:23,080
Speaker 1: them in the third quarter might be approaching the rented mule. Right,

2271
01:51:23,960 --> 01:51:26,360
Speaker 1: we'll see. Let me see. I played in the third

2272
01:51:26,439 --> 01:51:28,040
Speaker 1: quarter and fourth quarter of a lot of priests. Did

2273
01:51:28,080 --> 01:51:32,439
Speaker 1: you games? Played receiver? Like? How how deep into your

2274
01:51:32,479 --> 01:51:34,240
Speaker 1: career were you doing that? I don't know. I can't

2275
01:51:34,240 --> 01:51:36,799
Speaker 1: remember every preseason image I have of you and several

2276
01:51:36,880 --> 01:51:40,000
Speaker 1: of your teammates in my head? Are you with a

2277
01:51:40,040 --> 01:51:42,599
Speaker 1: baseball cap on? Yeah? You might be right, right, all right,

2278
01:51:42,640 --> 01:51:45,479
Speaker 1: that's right, all right, that might not be true. What

2279
01:51:45,600 --> 01:51:48,519
Speaker 1: I said might not be a breakcare We're coming back

2288
01:52:26,960 --> 01:52:29,080

2289
01:52:29,160 --> 01:52:31,479
Speaker 1: Let's see. My first day was July fifteenth. Yeah, he's

2290
01:52:31,520 --> 01:52:34,960
Speaker 1: got a special he's going to present you for what

2291
01:52:35,080 --> 01:52:38,519
Speaker 1: did I win? There will be no watch? What do

2292
01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:39,880
Speaker 1: you think? What is about the news of the day?

2293
01:52:39,880 --> 01:52:41,840
Speaker 1: You've been keeping up with it? Yeah? What about Mitch

2294
01:52:41,920 --> 01:52:44,280
Speaker 1: Morris being in the percussion protocol, Dawson knocks back on

2295
01:52:44,320 --> 01:52:47,479
Speaker 1: the field, all this stuff. I think the team's progressing forward.

2296
01:52:47,600 --> 01:52:49,880
Speaker 1: Mitch Moore's not being in a red contact jersey. That's

2297
01:52:49,920 --> 01:52:52,040
Speaker 1: got to be great. I know he's still in the protocol,

2298
01:52:52,120 --> 01:52:54,640
Speaker 1: but coach McDermott said today during his press conference that

2299
01:52:54,760 --> 01:52:57,439
Speaker 1: he is making steps in the right direction. Yeah, that's

2300
01:52:57,800 --> 01:53:02,040
Speaker 1: to me that as baby steps. Hey, it's better than

2301
01:53:02,120 --> 01:53:06,280
Speaker 1: a step backwards, right, I think positively. And Dawson Knox

2302
01:53:06,479 --> 01:53:10,080
Speaker 1: being full going practice. Coach McDermott said they're expecting him

2303
01:53:10,120 --> 01:53:12,720
Speaker 1: to play in the third preseason game. That's got to

2304
01:53:12,760 --> 01:53:14,519
Speaker 1: be exciting. You missed him, but he was on just

2305
01:53:14,560 --> 01:53:16,200
Speaker 1: a few minutes ago with us. I almost sat in

2306
01:53:16,280 --> 01:53:20,120
Speaker 1: his sweaty chair, but we switched to that. Did you

2307
01:53:20,200 --> 01:53:24,680
Speaker 1: see this about Dawson Nash Maybe he was really happy. Yeah,

2308
01:53:24,720 --> 01:53:26,479
Speaker 1: he's a happy kid. I don't know a happy kid.

2309
01:53:26,560 --> 01:53:28,760
Speaker 1: He looked like he was like stoked to be back

2310
01:53:28,800 --> 01:53:30,800
Speaker 1: on the field. You know what, I mean I got

2311
01:53:30,880 --> 01:53:33,640
Speaker 1: that feeling from him. Yeah, I did too. Yeah, I

2312
01:53:34,000 --> 01:53:35,719
Speaker 1: saw him on the hallway yesterday. I got that feeling.

2313
01:53:36,320 --> 01:53:38,560
Speaker 1: I mean, after spending like all of camp on the

2314
01:53:38,680 --> 01:53:41,439
Speaker 1: sidelines as a rookie, you got to be itching to

2315
01:53:41,560 --> 01:53:44,360
Speaker 1: get back on the field for your first season. Yeah,

2316
01:53:45,240 --> 01:53:46,840
Speaker 1: I would hope that we get to that point with

2317
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:50,200
Speaker 1: Mitch Morris. To tell you the truth, let's go, I'm

2318
01:53:50,240 --> 01:53:52,880
Speaker 1: just being ready. Well, I'm ready to watch it. I'm

2319
01:53:52,880 --> 01:53:55,640
Speaker 1: ready to see the offensive line as a unit. You

2320
01:53:55,680 --> 01:53:57,640
Speaker 1: would hope that, you know, you'd hope you have it

2321
01:53:57,840 --> 01:54:01,320
Speaker 1: all off season and into the preseason. You'd hope you

2322
01:54:01,360 --> 01:54:05,120
Speaker 1: get the preseason game number three, the traditional third preseason game,

2323
01:54:05,160 --> 01:54:06,920
Speaker 1: and have that group together, and it's not going to happen.

2324
01:54:06,960 --> 01:54:09,120
Speaker 1: And yeah, I'm a little bit to get the best

2325
01:54:09,240 --> 01:54:12,680
Speaker 1: five out there. Yeah all right, right, let's get it's

2326
01:54:12,720 --> 01:54:16,000
Speaker 1: tough when you can't do that in camp leading up

2327
01:54:16,040 --> 01:54:18,160
Speaker 1: to the first game. But ask it out. Let me

2328
01:54:18,200 --> 01:54:20,679
Speaker 1: ask you this all important question. What do you most

2329
01:54:20,760 --> 01:54:23,960
Speaker 1: want to see during Bill's preseason game number three versus

2330
01:54:24,000 --> 01:54:30,519
Speaker 1: the Lions? Twitter answering a offensive line battle be going

2331
01:54:30,600 --> 01:54:34,920
Speaker 1: on the ongoing tight end competition. See more Josh Allen

2332
01:54:34,960 --> 01:54:39,760
Speaker 1: to Cole Beasley or d more defensive success? Can I

2333
01:54:39,880 --> 01:54:43,480
Speaker 1: say more? Josh Allen to John Brown. He didn't play

2334
01:54:43,560 --> 01:54:46,440
Speaker 1: last game, right, so he was on the sidelines. He

2335
01:54:46,640 --> 01:54:49,520
Speaker 1: practiced all week. So I'm excited to see that. We're

2336
01:54:49,560 --> 01:54:51,480
Speaker 1: going to see the starters get a few more snaps

2337
01:54:51,760 --> 01:54:54,840
Speaker 1: in this preseason game. So our guest went off the

2338
01:54:54,880 --> 01:54:57,320
Speaker 1: board and picked something nuts. Okay, well that's why we

2339
01:54:57,480 --> 01:55:03,080
Speaker 1: usually am I breaking rules already. Yeah, alright, dang it,

2340
01:55:04,400 --> 01:55:09,200
Speaker 1: Let's see what they have up there offensive line battle,

2341
01:55:09,920 --> 01:55:12,080
Speaker 1: but I want to see much worse play which we're

2342
01:55:12,120 --> 01:55:15,360
Speaker 1: not going to see. That goes down to the bottom

2343
01:55:15,360 --> 01:55:17,840
Speaker 1: of the listen. Yeah, and we're not sure about Insecci either,

2344
01:55:18,040 --> 01:55:20,360
Speaker 1: That's what coach McDermott said. He was like it, we're

2345
01:55:20,440 --> 01:55:22,160
Speaker 1: not sure. You're not interested in the rest of those

2346
01:55:22,240 --> 01:55:25,880
Speaker 1: jokers up there. Huh. I'mgoing tight end competition. If Dawson

2347
01:55:25,960 --> 01:55:29,240
Speaker 1: Knox is going to play on Friday, which sound he

2348
01:55:29,280 --> 01:55:33,160
Speaker 1: expects him too, that's what I am most interested in

2349
01:55:33,360 --> 01:55:36,120
Speaker 1: seeing against the Lions. How do you You've been around

2350

2351
01:55:38,000 --> 01:55:41,080
Speaker 1: road game, and another road game coming up. Road games

2361
01:56:11,840 --> 01:56:15,960
Speaker 1: you're watching on TV, I would call me exactly exactly

2373
01:56:50,560 --> 01:56:53,480
Speaker 1: with a multi media journalists for a PSC worked here

2374
01:56:53,520 --> 01:56:55,520
Speaker 1: with the Buffalo Bills. Um, what else did you pick

2375
01:56:55,600 --> 01:56:58,000
Speaker 1: up from watching the open portion of practice date? What

2376
01:56:58,040 --> 01:57:01,200
Speaker 1: do you see anything interesting? Um? Bobby Johnson was throwing

2377
01:57:01,280 --> 01:57:05,080
Speaker 1: passes to his offensive lineman. They were running slant us.

2378
01:57:05,280 --> 01:57:08,360
Speaker 1: What's going on with that? I think probably just a

2379
01:57:08,400 --> 01:57:11,160
Speaker 1: little bit of fun, but also, you know, you never

2380
01:57:11,280 --> 01:57:13,920
Speaker 1: know when that's going to happen. It's Friday. Well, Bobby

2381
01:57:13,960 --> 01:57:15,680
Speaker 1: Johnson aint throwing a pass in a game. I know

2382
01:57:15,800 --> 01:57:19,160
Speaker 1: that he was throwing some good balls. Yeah, okay, that's

2383
01:57:19,200 --> 01:57:21,760
Speaker 1: a Friday for you. That's a Friday. Friday. You were

2384
01:57:21,800 --> 01:57:25,440
Speaker 1: going to have a glab bag with John Brown? I know,

2385
01:57:26,320 --> 01:57:28,080

2386
01:57:28,120 --> 01:57:30,440

2387
01:57:30,440 --> 01:57:33,440
Speaker 1: couldn't get John Brown today. So I said, the next

2388
01:57:33,680 --> 01:57:37,320
Speaker 1: best thing is to do glab bag with you too,

2389
01:57:37,840 --> 01:57:41,880
Speaker 1: or with us. So I have questions in helmet and

2390

Speaker 1: the timing two years ago the Bills game, we were

2400
01:58:17,960 --> 01:58:20,080
Speaker 1: off the air in Miami. When the Bills got into

2401
01:58:20,080 --> 01:58:21,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs, they had to wait for that game to

2402
01:58:22,040 --> 01:58:24,200
Speaker 1: the Baltimore game to end, so I've never been able

2403
01:58:24,240 --> 01:58:25,560
Speaker 1: to see in the air and the Bills are in

2404
01:58:25,600 --> 01:58:28,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs, that would be a close, close second to

2405
01:58:28,080 --> 01:58:30,520
Speaker 1: the Bills win the super Bowl. And it could happen

2406
01:58:30,600 --> 01:58:33,880
Speaker 1: this year. I believe it could happen. Good. So, having

2407
01:58:33,960 --> 01:58:36,320
Speaker 1: never done that, that would be Now I've been around

2408
01:58:36,400 --> 01:58:38,920
Speaker 1: Bills playoff teams, but it seems like and it was

2409
01:58:39,120 --> 01:58:41,080
Speaker 1: age years ago Steve was playing. That's how long ago

2410
01:58:41,080 --> 01:58:46,600
Speaker 1: it was. But yeah, I would look forward to that.

2411
01:58:46,760 --> 01:58:49,360
Speaker 1: Having never done that, got kind of didn't get a

2412
01:58:49,440 --> 01:58:51,600
Speaker 1: chance to do it two years ago because we watched

2413
01:58:51,640 --> 01:58:53,520
Speaker 1: the game in the press box at Miami. I've told

2414
01:58:53,560 --> 01:58:56,000
Speaker 1: that story in the radio booth, but that would be good.

2415
01:58:56,040 --> 01:58:58,240
Speaker 1: That would be a lot of fun. I can see that,

2416
01:58:58,280 --> 01:59:03,000
Speaker 1: all right. Next one, Oh, this is for you again, Murph, smoke,

2422
01:59:20,440 --> 01:59:22,120
Speaker 1: of years ago, it was really fun. Kyle scored a

2423
01:59:22,160 --> 01:59:25,000
Speaker 1: touchdown in that game. Um, there have been a lot

2424

Speaker 1: now loves that's right. Next question, Steve, this is for you.

2504
02:03:43,720 --> 02:03:46,240
Speaker 1: Advice to those who are on the line to make

2505
02:03:46,280 --> 02:03:52,920
Speaker 1: the fifty three roster, Yeah, become special teams players. I mean,

2506
02:03:53,000 --> 02:03:55,400
Speaker 1: that's my that's my advice. The more valuable are the

2507
02:03:55,520 --> 02:03:57,800
Speaker 1: more things you can do. I mean, get coffee for

2508
02:03:57,880 --> 02:04:00,440
Speaker 1: somebody if you have to. I don't mean, you know, yeah,

2509
02:04:00,520 --> 02:04:03,960
Speaker 1: for us, whatever we can do, you've got to. You

2510
02:04:04,120 --> 02:04:07,240
Speaker 1: gotta do whatever you can do. And that means exactly

2511
02:04:07,320 --> 02:04:11,240
Speaker 1: what it sounds like. Cover kicks, return kicks. You know,

2512
02:04:11,680 --> 02:04:14,320
Speaker 1: I don't practice long snapping. I don't care do whatever

2513
02:04:14,360 --> 02:04:16,720
Speaker 1: you have to do to make yourself valuable, and that

2514
02:04:16,840 --> 02:04:20,160
Speaker 1: means outside of your regular responsibilities of being an offensive

2515
02:04:20,240 --> 02:04:22,120
Speaker 1: or defensive player. You got to you gotta go to

2516
02:04:22,240 --> 02:04:24,720
Speaker 1: Heath Farwell, and he's got to get tired of you

2517
02:04:24,840 --> 02:04:27,320
Speaker 1: being in his office. I mean he's got to. He said,

2518
02:04:27,320 --> 02:04:29,800
Speaker 1: all right, you got to badger him into giving you

2519
02:04:29,840 --> 02:04:31,920
Speaker 1: an opportunity to make the team. That's what I would do.

2520
02:04:32,400 --> 02:04:37,120
Speaker 1: Get there early, stay late. Oh right, Oh, that's yeah.

2521
02:04:37,200 --> 02:04:39,920
Speaker 1: You've got to be a fixture in the building from

2522
02:04:39,920 --> 02:04:44,320
Speaker 1: the time they sign you until the time you hopefully retire.

2523
02:04:45,360 --> 02:04:47,440
Speaker 1: That's it, all right? Task or another one for you?

2524
02:04:48,120 --> 02:04:53,320
Speaker 1: Better comparison Mark Kelso or Dan Babe for your Don

2525
02:04:54,600 --> 02:04:59,040
Speaker 1: Mark Kelso? No better? Yeah, better comparison for me? Yeah

2526
02:04:59,120 --> 02:05:03,600
Speaker 1: for you don Beebe? Don Beebe's better for me. It's

2527
02:05:03,600 --> 02:05:05,520
Speaker 1: a good thing. Oh yeah, don bee I told you

2528
02:05:06,080 --> 02:05:08,560
Speaker 1: you who don Do you know who Don Beebe is? Seriously,

2529
02:05:08,640 --> 02:05:10,960
Speaker 1: you can be you can say, okay, Don Beebe is

2530
02:05:11,000 --> 02:05:14,640
Speaker 1: the guy who's a second round draft pick in nineteen

2531
02:05:14,800 --> 02:05:19,600
Speaker 1: eighty eight. Sounds right. And he was the guy that

2532
02:05:19,720 --> 02:05:22,800
Speaker 1: ran Leon let down in Super Bowl twenty eight when

2533
02:05:22,880 --> 02:05:25,200
Speaker 1: the game was out of reaching it and for twenty

2534
02:05:25,280 --> 02:05:28,000
Speaker 1: five years or thirty years, I've been denying that. I've

2535
02:05:28,080 --> 02:05:30,080
Speaker 1: had to say no, that wasn't me who ran Leon

2536
02:05:30,200 --> 02:05:32,320
Speaker 1: let down. It was don Beebe who ran because everybody

2537
02:05:32,360 --> 02:05:35,760
Speaker 1: thinks it was me. So. But we played the same position,

2538
02:05:36,320 --> 02:05:39,480
Speaker 1: were the same size, We kind of have the same

2539
02:05:39,560 --> 02:05:41,320
Speaker 1: physical traits. He was a fast guy and I was

2540
02:05:41,400 --> 02:05:44,320
Speaker 1: a quick guy. But I was a special teams guy

2541
02:05:44,320 --> 02:05:45,720
Speaker 1: and he was a wide receiver. Say we played the

2542
02:05:45,760 --> 02:05:47,200
Speaker 1: same side of the ball. So yeah, Beebes is a

2543
02:05:47,240 --> 02:05:50,000
Speaker 1: better by far, a better comparison for me than done

2544
02:05:50,400 --> 02:05:52,920
Speaker 1: than Mark Kelso was. Man. I just got a text

2545
02:05:52,960 --> 02:05:55,800
Speaker 1: from both Kelso and bb and they say, please don't

2546
02:05:55,840 --> 02:06:02,000
Speaker 1: ask God. Yeah, all right, I got two more in here.

2547
02:06:02,120 --> 02:06:04,400
Speaker 1: All right, all right, this is for both of you.

2548
02:06:05,240 --> 02:06:08,520
Speaker 1: What would be your dream job outside of your current job?

2549
02:06:08,680 --> 02:06:13,440
Speaker 1: Right now? I mean, this is this is dream job.

2550
02:06:13,960 --> 02:06:16,840
Speaker 1: The other day, two nights ago, I was flicking around

2551
02:06:16,880 --> 02:06:19,560
Speaker 1: on TV looking for a preseason game to watch, and

2552
02:06:19,640 --> 02:06:22,800
Speaker 1: it came across the fishing show and these guys, these

2553
02:06:22,840 --> 02:06:25,920
Speaker 1: professional bass fisherman. I was like, that would be cool

2554
02:06:26,720 --> 02:06:29,640
Speaker 1: catching bass, getting paid for catching I feel you, I'm

2555
02:06:29,640 --> 02:06:31,400
Speaker 1: thinking the same thing. I want to be a too.

2556
02:06:31,480 --> 02:06:33,320
Speaker 1: I want to be a touring golf professional. I want

2557
02:06:33,360 --> 02:06:35,120
Speaker 1: to be a tour pro. That's what I want to be.

2558
02:06:35,240 --> 02:06:37,640
Speaker 1: I want to be a golfer at the same level

2559
02:06:37,680 --> 02:06:40,560
Speaker 1: I was as a football player. How's your golf game? Well,

2560
02:06:40,600 --> 02:06:42,840
Speaker 1: it's a little neglected at this point because I you know,

2561
02:06:42,880 --> 02:06:45,040
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here with Murphy every day. But yeah, that's

2562
02:06:45,560 --> 02:06:48,760
Speaker 1: you guys need a little putting green back here. We

2563
02:06:49,720 --> 02:06:53,160
Speaker 1: we got plenty of yes, actually like that, work on

2564
02:06:53,240 --> 02:06:55,960
Speaker 1: your putt game. Your short already under suspicion for not

2565
02:06:56,080 --> 02:06:58,760
Speaker 1: working hard. Well, we're not. And when even if we're

2566
02:06:58,800 --> 02:07:00,720
Speaker 1: doing our best, we're not breaking rocks with a hammer.

2567
02:07:00,920 --> 02:07:03,000
Speaker 1: But I fear that might put it over the top

2568
02:07:03,080 --> 02:07:08,480
Speaker 1: in terms of the building draws might build up. That

2569
02:07:08,600 --> 02:07:10,640
Speaker 1: might Yeah, that might draw a little bit too much

2570
02:07:10,640 --> 02:07:14,600
Speaker 1: attention to our state. We got dirty looks for physical exertion.

2571
02:07:14,640 --> 02:07:16,760
Speaker 1: We got dirty books when we started asking about the

2572
02:07:16,880 --> 02:07:24,520
Speaker 1: napods and way to comment that it is all right,

2573
02:07:26,000 --> 02:07:30,480
Speaker 1: who are both of your sleepers for this season? Sleepers

2574
02:07:30,520 --> 02:07:32,520
Speaker 1: and make the roster. Make the roster of you to

2575
02:07:32,640 --> 02:07:38,320
Speaker 1: contribute sleepers. We both pull out the roster, all right.

2576
02:07:38,360 --> 02:07:39,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to miss anybody, because there's a lot

2577
02:07:39,920 --> 02:07:46,200
Speaker 1: of guys that I have been thinking about. I think,

2578
02:07:47,680 --> 02:07:49,800
Speaker 1: are you want to go an offensive and a defensive guy.

2579
02:07:50,240 --> 02:07:52,120
Speaker 1: I'm having trouble finding anybody, all right. I mean we

2580
02:07:52,160 --> 02:07:54,080
Speaker 1: talk about all these players so much. I know. Yeah,

2581
02:07:54,160 --> 02:07:58,640
Speaker 1: the sleeper means somebody you haven't heard of them, sleeper,

2582
02:07:59,440 --> 02:08:01,280
Speaker 1: and it's it sounds like he's not a sleeper, but

2583
02:08:01,360 --> 02:08:05,960
Speaker 1: I think he is because he's it's Bam Johnson, Darryl

2584
02:08:06,040 --> 02:08:10,080
Speaker 1: Johnson on defense. I think he's he's my sleeper. He's

2585
02:08:10,120 --> 02:08:13,480
Speaker 1: gonna be a gun. He was on the show yesterday, right. Yeah.

2586
02:08:13,600 --> 02:08:16,040
Speaker 1: But he's also got like three he leads the NFL

2587
02:08:16,120 --> 02:08:17,640
Speaker 1: and sacks in the preseason, so I don't know how

2588
02:08:17,720 --> 02:08:19,840
Speaker 1: much of a he doesn't. I'm seasoned, but he's got

2589
02:08:20,080 --> 02:08:22,600
Speaker 1: what two sacks in a hurry and a strip sack

2590
02:08:22,640 --> 02:08:26,000
Speaker 1: strip fumble. I think he's he's a sleeper. He has

2591
02:08:26,040 --> 02:08:28,960
Speaker 1: to be considered at this point a sleeper. And on offense,

2592
02:08:29,080 --> 02:08:35,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, oh boy, I'm gonna say you know who,

2593
02:08:36,040 --> 02:08:38,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say he's gonna do it. I'm gonna say

2594
02:08:38,320 --> 02:08:41,480
Speaker 1: Sonorris Perry. I looked at him a long time Sonorris

2595
02:08:41,520 --> 02:08:44,440
Speaker 1: Perry is a guy who's going to really contribute. Now

2596
02:08:44,480 --> 02:08:46,320
Speaker 1: he's a running back, but I'm gonna say his special

2597
02:08:46,400 --> 02:08:50,360
Speaker 1: teams contributor special. I think I got Captain Munland on defense.

2598
02:08:50,400 --> 02:08:53,280
Speaker 1: I think he will somehow work his way into the

2599
02:08:53,360 --> 02:08:55,960
Speaker 1: lineup as the nickel. You know, he's done it in

2600
02:08:56,000 --> 02:09:02,120
Speaker 1: the league for a while. Offense sleeper, I don't know.

2601
02:09:03,520 --> 02:09:06,160
Speaker 1: I'm great Roberts. I think, well, well, there's something to

2602
02:09:06,240 --> 02:09:08,840
Speaker 1: say about the Buffalo offense, not just special teams. I

2603
02:09:08,920 --> 02:09:11,200
Speaker 1: think he will make contributions. He's been catching a lot

2604
02:09:11,240 --> 02:09:14,720
Speaker 1: of passes and practices signed him and didn't think he

2605
02:09:14,840 --> 02:09:16,520
Speaker 1: had much to do with the offense. But the more

2606
02:09:16,520 --> 02:09:18,040
Speaker 1: I see him, I think he'll have something to say

2607
02:09:18,040 --> 02:09:20,320
Speaker 1: about how they play offense. And it might it might

2608
02:09:20,360 --> 02:09:21,960
Speaker 1: be about that same old thing we've talked about. He

2609
02:09:22,080 --> 02:09:24,920
Speaker 1: might have not gotten an opportunity other places that he's been,

2610
02:09:25,600 --> 02:09:27,680
Speaker 1: but he did. Hear. Yeah, I think he's made the

2611
02:09:27,760 --> 02:09:30,120
Speaker 1: most of them. That's a big reason why he wanted

2612
02:09:30,160 --> 02:09:34,240
Speaker 1: to be here was for that opportunity. Yeah, he's playing well,

2613
02:09:34,280 --> 02:09:35,560
Speaker 1: I agree with him. Or if that's a good one,

2614
02:09:35,640 --> 02:09:42,000
Speaker 1: thank you a good one. Yeah, awesome, that's it. People

2615
02:09:42,000 --> 02:09:49,080
Speaker 1: want to hear from get real people three hours. People

2616
02:09:49,120 --> 02:09:52,320
Speaker 1: are so tired of my pronazy but my personality, especially

2617
02:09:52,400 --> 02:09:57,200
Speaker 1: Great Cosell that he doesn't. Steve Well knows people don't

2618
02:09:57,240 --> 02:10:01,200
Speaker 1: want to hear anymore from us. People love you guys.

2619
02:10:01,440 --> 02:10:05,000
Speaker 1: Don't sell yourself short. I don't know. Thanks man. That

2620
02:10:05,040 --> 02:10:08,720
Speaker 1: was good than any good. Stuffy Glassie, media journalist Buffalo

2621
02:10:08,800 --> 02:10:11,760
Speaker 1: Bills dot Com and PSC Stephen I coming back One

2622
02:10:11,800 --> 02:10:29,760
Speaker 1: Bills Live from One Bills Drive on Buffalo Bills Radio. Okay,

2623
02:10:29,800 --> 02:10:31,440
Speaker 1: so what have we learned from today's show? We had

2624
02:10:31,440 --> 02:10:34,680
Speaker 1: a good one. We had uh Marcia Louis Jacques from ESPN,

2625
02:10:34,800 --> 02:10:36,880
Speaker 1: he covers the Bills for ESPN, had him on the

2626
02:10:36,960 --> 02:10:38,760
Speaker 1: show in the one o'clock hour and we asked him

2627
02:10:38,760 --> 02:10:41,200
Speaker 1: what he thought of at Oliver, Buffalo's first round draft pick,

2628
02:10:41,440 --> 02:10:45,760
Speaker 1: after a couple of preseason games. He's just got this.

2629
02:10:46,040 --> 02:10:48,760
Speaker 1: I spoke with Shack Lawson who said that he just

2630
02:10:48,880 --> 02:10:52,080
Speaker 1: got this this confidence about him that's not normal for

2631
02:10:52,200 --> 02:10:55,200
Speaker 1: a first year player. Cocky, it's not and it's not cocky,

2632
02:10:55,240 --> 02:10:57,760
Speaker 1: And I think that was that was something I really

2633
02:10:57,840 --> 02:11:00,080
Speaker 1: wanted to focus on in the in the article that

2634
02:11:00,520 --> 02:11:02,760
Speaker 1: you know this isn't some sort of rookie bibrato where

2635
02:11:02,800 --> 02:11:04,640
Speaker 1: you're a first round here, you need to show that

2636
02:11:04,800 --> 02:11:07,400
Speaker 1: you know, I'm big and bad, I'm worth, I'm worth

2637
02:11:07,440 --> 02:11:10,320
Speaker 1: the ten million dollars a year. He just wants to

2638
02:11:10,600 --> 02:11:13,720
Speaker 1: He's very aware of what he can do when he's

2639
02:11:13,760 --> 02:11:16,840
Speaker 1: on the field, and I think that that shows, and

2640
02:11:16,920 --> 02:11:19,320
Speaker 1: that showing in the first in the first two games.

2641
02:11:19,960 --> 02:11:22,920
Speaker 1: Marsa Luis Jacques from ESPN. Johnson Knox joined us on

2642
02:11:23,040 --> 02:11:25,480
Speaker 1: the show today. They're dround draft pick tight end. He's

2643
02:11:25,520 --> 02:11:28,440
Speaker 1: been practicing since Sunday. He missed about three weeks with

2644
02:11:28,640 --> 02:11:31,640
Speaker 1: the hamstring poll and he's ready to come back. He

2645
02:11:31,720 --> 02:11:33,800
Speaker 1: thinks he'll get some snaps in this game on Friday

2646
02:11:33,880 --> 02:11:36,240
Speaker 1: night against Detroit, and we asked him about returning to

2647
02:11:36,320 --> 02:11:41,920
Speaker 1: practice after his hamstring injury. It was definitely frustrating, you know,

2648
02:11:42,240 --> 02:11:44,240
Speaker 1: for me to just have to sit there and watch,

2649
02:11:44,280 --> 02:11:46,040
Speaker 1: because you know, football is the thing I love the

2650
02:11:46,120 --> 02:11:48,360
Speaker 1: most and going out there and doing it, you know,

2651
02:11:48,480 --> 02:11:51,480
Speaker 1: on game days is what makes it all fun. But

2652
02:11:51,960 --> 02:11:53,840
Speaker 1: you know, from a teammates standpoint, it was fun to

2653
02:11:53,880 --> 02:11:55,440
Speaker 1: be able to see all my friends, you know, my

2654
02:11:55,560 --> 02:11:57,480
Speaker 1: draft class go out there and make plays. Guys. I've

2655
02:11:57,520 --> 02:11:59,920
Speaker 1: been you know, I've known for the last few months

2656
02:12:00,160 --> 02:12:03,320
Speaker 1: going out there balling out, So it was fun from

2657
02:12:03,360 --> 02:12:05,640
Speaker 1: that standpoint, but I'm definitely excited to get back on

2658
02:12:05,720 --> 02:12:08,480
Speaker 1: the field. We had a pretty good Twitter poll today

2659
02:12:08,520 --> 02:12:11,400
Speaker 1: when we asked a question what Bills fans what do

2660
02:12:11,440 --> 02:12:14,160
Speaker 1: they want to see most during the preseason game against

2661
02:12:14,200 --> 02:12:16,360
Speaker 1: the Lions. It was close. Let's take one more look

2662
02:12:16,400 --> 02:12:19,080
Speaker 1: at it. The vote was close, more than eight hundred

2663
02:12:19,120 --> 02:12:22,120
Speaker 1: eighty votes, thirty two percent saying they want to see

2664
02:12:22,160 --> 02:12:24,920
Speaker 1: the offensive line battle, thirty one percent say ongoing tight

2665
02:12:25,040 --> 02:12:27,480
Speaker 1: end competition, twenty six percent say they want to see

2666
02:12:27,520 --> 02:12:30,320
Speaker 1: more of Josh Allen Nicole Beasley, eleven percent say more

2667
02:12:30,400 --> 02:12:33,240
Speaker 1: defensive success. Look, I think I speak for all of us.

2668
02:12:33,320 --> 02:12:35,080
Speaker 1: We want to see more. We just want to see more, right,

2669
02:12:35,320 --> 02:12:38,120
Speaker 1: I don't think we've seen a complete look yet, and

2670
02:12:38,160 --> 02:12:40,080
Speaker 1: we probably will never get the complete look, but we don't.

2671
02:12:40,120 --> 02:12:41,600
Speaker 1: I don't feel like we've seen the complete look of

2672
02:12:41,640 --> 02:12:44,560
Speaker 1: the Bills for twenty nineteen yet in preseason. I think

2673
02:12:44,640 --> 02:12:47,640
Speaker 1: that I'll just make a bold prediction. I think when

2674
02:12:47,720 --> 02:12:50,120
Speaker 1: we go into Week one into MetLife Stadium to take

2675
02:12:50,120 --> 02:12:54,040
Speaker 1: the Jets, I think that's gonna be the biggest question

2676
02:12:54,080 --> 02:12:58,440
Speaker 1: about the Bills, our own team. For Bills fans. I

2677
02:12:58,560 --> 02:13:00,800
Speaker 1: wonder what it's gonna look like, you know. I wonder

2678
02:13:00,840 --> 02:13:02,600
Speaker 1: who's gonna be playing. I wonder how these guys are

2679
02:13:02,600 --> 02:13:04,800
Speaker 1: gonna play. Are they gonna be ready because we haven't

2680
02:13:04,880 --> 02:13:08,600
Speaker 1: seen them do this, this, this, or this enough of this? Uh.

2681
02:13:09,240 --> 02:13:12,040
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be my bold prediction. We're all

2682
02:13:12,080 --> 02:13:14,720
Speaker 1: gonna think, gosh, I hope this comes together on week one.

2683
02:13:14,760 --> 02:13:17,080
Speaker 1: I think we got all the pieces in place from

2684
02:13:17,120 --> 02:13:19,520
Speaker 1: we've seen him do it individually. But I don't know,

2685
02:13:20,000 --> 02:13:21,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I just think we're gonna

2686
02:13:21,320 --> 02:13:23,960
Speaker 1: be unsure about the amount of work they've put in

2687
02:13:24,320 --> 02:13:26,560
Speaker 1: and how much we've seen of an in live game action.

2688
02:13:26,880 --> 02:13:28,800
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be the one big concern going

2689
02:13:28,840 --> 02:13:30,720
Speaker 1: in opening day Tomorrow. It's gonna be interesting. We'll do

2690
02:13:30,760 --> 02:13:32,400
Speaker 1: a show here, you and I noon to three, and

2691
02:13:32,480 --> 02:13:35,640
Speaker 1: then we will drive to Detroit and do the show

2692
02:13:35,680 --> 02:13:41,480
Speaker 1: there Friday's separately, separately. We'll talk about that. Yeah, that's different.

2693
02:13:42,800 --> 02:13:45,040
