1
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field.

2
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,120
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: pleader for State. Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: the straged fear of normalcy. Oh, welcome into a Thursday

5
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,159
Speaker 1: edition of One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with

6
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: you on an overcast day here in Orchard Park as

7
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: we're broadcasting live from the Seneca Studios at One Bill's

8
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: Drive practice going on about fifty yards from us, and

9
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,919
Speaker 1: we'll get some updates on the injury situation regarding some

10
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: of the players, cornerback being one of them, with Josh

11
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: Norman and saw Vernon Butler on the injury report as

12
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: well with a hamstring injury as he was an additional

13
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: name that appeared there, so we'll have to see how

14
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: those shake out. We've also got football tonight, Steve. The

15
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,559
Speaker 1: Kickoff Game. The kickoff game between the defending Super Bowl

16
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: champion Chiefs and the Houston Texans is the league cleverly

17
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: matches up two of the most exciting young quarterbacks to

18
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: watch in the league and DeShawn Watson and Pat Mahomes.

19
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: So I think that'll be good. Yeah, I mean I

20
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, I'm kind of in them. Might be

21
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: a little weird too with the sparse population of fans,

22
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: although there will be fans there approximately twenty two thousand. Yeah,

23
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: because the Chiefs are allowing fans in their building, right,

24
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: twenty two thousands, Like nothing in that Joe Well joint,

25
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: you know. And I think a lot of them, don't

26
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: forget a lot of them maybe in boxes, you know,

27
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: in suits. But last time they played it was pretty good.

28
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: Twenty they got a twenty four to nothing lead, did

29
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: the Texans and lost fifty one to seven the rest

30
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: of the way. Yeah. Wow, Well that's what the Chiefs

31
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: did last year. All through the playoffs. They were behind

32
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: on the scoreboard and then just stayed behind three straight comebacks,

33
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: including the Super Bowl. Yeah, and just said, yeah, we're

34
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: gonna dial it up now. We'll We'll leave you in

35
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: the rear. They're so good, talk to you later. They're good,

36
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: And you're very interested. I'm very interested to see Clyde

37
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: Edwards Hilaire and his transition to the pro game. He

38
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: was a dynamic player for LSU and obviously is going

39
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: to have a gigantic role now that Damian Williams has

40
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: opted out for the season. They're running back who had

41
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: the game clinching touchdown in the Super Bowl last February

42
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs. He is out of the mix, and

43
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: so suddenly Ceh surges to the forefront. Heh, well, that's

44
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: what they because it's a lot easier to say than

45
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards. Hilaire. Here's the thing, Brownie, we had this

46
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: conversation via text last night. We got we're gonna we

47
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: have a fantasy football draft tonight. You have to be

48
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: my roster coordinator. Well, that is, if I don't have

49
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: a roster of my own, I have to see if

50
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: I am available for this dream not available for them.

51
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: I'm not available. I never I wasn't briefed on on

52
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: the time that that's actually going to take place. You're

53
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: not available for this draft, you're not looking for these

54
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: I have time to help you. Yeah, what do you need, Steve,

55
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: what do you need? That's it the Jedi mind trick.

56
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: But we had to postpone the draft last night because

57
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: of user error, because of me. It probably I had

58
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: no idea what I was doing. I was like, what, who? Why?

59
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: I saw you on the text track, right, So that's

60
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: little I've promoted you to the all important roster. You

61
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: created a new position. That's how nice of you. Yeah, so,

62
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Hilaire the reason we got on this. He's

63
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: a he's a keeper on fantasy. What is that? Well,

64
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a gigantic role. I think he could

65
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: have a role. People are comparing him to an all

66
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: purpose back that Andy Reid had in Philadelphia by the

67
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: name of Brian Westbrook. They think he could be the

68
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: same kind of player. And if he is, Holy Crow,

69
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna light the world on fire. I'm

70
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: drafting him, um, giving it away, Like your competitors are

71
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: probably listening, they're not. If they're not, they get him first.

72
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: I'll take DMC then yeah that guy. Yeah. Do they

73
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: all go like that? Do they all initialize themselves? No? No,

74
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: is it like MDS motor, Devin Singletary's motor, He's just motor. Nicknames.

75
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: Zack Moss has a two syllable names first and last,

76
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: so that's pretty easy. No need for a nickname there,

77
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: all right, Um, yeah, but yeah they're I'm i mean,

78
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: go to watch it. I think the country is ready

79
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: for football and probably happy that it's here, I gotta

80
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: tell you I'm I'm in a kind of a grinder mode.

81
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: I started. I've been doing work for the radio broadcast

82
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and ready I can feel myself sinking into

83
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: that slump shoulder grind of the regular season. And to

84
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: a certain extent here in our respective roles, you sometimes

85
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: fall a victim to Bill's myopia, Like you don't you

86
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: can't see anything else because the Bills are right here

87
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: in front of your face for like the better part

88
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: of four and a half months, and you're trying to

89
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: get a feel for the rest of the NFL landscape,

90
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: and it's just like you got to part the drapes

91
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: and try to look out the window because because Bills fans,

92
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: we got you know, you got the Jets, then you

93
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: got the Dolphins. You know you got all this. You

94
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: have the stuff all lined up doing down the road,

95
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: down this. I'm like, schedule, Yeah, when when who do

96
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: the Seahawks? Who's in there? What you know you're trying

97
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: to You can't, you can't say, especially those NFC, Right,

Speaker 1: you get those NFCT the Rams in week three and

99
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, better bone up on that. The l

100
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: it's the la NFC team. Yes, that's rights. We Uh,

101
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: we have a jam pack show today, a lot of

102
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: sound from the players, including Josh Allen. Uh. We may

103
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: have some time for a couple of other players, but

104
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: the coordinators addressed the media today as well, and we

105
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: want to get their thoughts as they are preparing for

106
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: what is going to be a Sunday of Nomes and

107
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: the preparations they're in to just kind of have the

108
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: players abide by a lot of their base rules, knowing

109
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: anything could get thrown at them this week more than

110
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: any other. So we'll hear from Leslie Fraser, We'll hear

111
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: from Brian Dable on those elements that will go into

112
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: the performance on Sunday. We will also hear from Jets

113
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: pregame analyst and former safety Eric Coleman. He'll be joining

114
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: Steve and I on the show at one o'clock. Maddie

115
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: glab Our colleague will be speaking to Jets reporter Olivia

116
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: landis not along after that, and then at two o'clock

117
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: we hope we have our fingers crossed because he actually

118
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: does have work to do here. One Andrew Catalog, who

119
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: will be calling the game for CBS on Sunday good

120
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: friend to Steve and mine, and he'll be ready to

121
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: roll on Sunday for sure. I know he does have

122
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: some interview duties with some of the players post practice,

123
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: so hopefully the timing works out there, and we got

124
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: Chacatman can join us at least two big time. That's

125
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: the problem, you know, that's you know, that's how it rolls.

126
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, so plenty to get to today. You know,

127
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: we got like a thousand soundbites from well, yeah, that's

128
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: what I was saying. We've got sound with Josh, with

129
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: Leslie Frazier, with Brian Dable, and that's all before you know,

130
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: we even get to the one o'clock hour. So a

131
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,559
Speaker 1: lot to digest and work through here on today's show.

132
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: And we should probably also mentioned the fact that we're

133
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: taking a closer look at this Bills Jets matchup, and

134
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: obviously the headliner each of the last couple of years

135
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: has been the two guys that were taken in the

136
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen draft in the top seven, and that's Sam

137
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: Darnold and Josh Allen. Their careers are not on a

138
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: terribly different trajectory. Clearly, Josh has had more success in

139
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: the wind column than Sam has I think most people

140
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: would agree that Darnold has had to endure more of

141
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: an uphill climb in light of the talent around him,

142
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: in light of I think he's had at least one

143
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: coordinator change already on offense. So those things I think

144
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: have stunted his growth in comparison to Josh. But at

145
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: the same time, when you look at that quarterback group

146
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: that came out in twenty eighteen, most people were in

147
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: agreement that because of Josh's lack of playing time experience

148
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: at the college level really only a two year starter,

149
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: that he had the most development to undertake with his

150
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: game coming to the NFL level, as opposed to Darnold

151
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: or Rosen, you know, or some of these other guys Lamar, Jackson,

152
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: So and Baker. So you look at where the development

153
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: has gone. For Josh, this is this is the prove

154
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: it year proved that you have arrived. For Sam Darnold,

155
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: it's prove you can make this team competitive. And I

156
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: think it's an interesting contrast there, And I know I've

157
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,599
Speaker 1: talked about it dozens of times already. The player development

158
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo is so much better than it is

159
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: in New York that It's not even comparable in my estimation,

160
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: And I think that as a factor too in you

161
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: know where these players are going. Could they both be

162
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: on the ascent? Absolutely, but I think there is more

163
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: working against Sam Darnold and more working in favor of Josh.

164
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 1: I don't know if you feel different. Absolutely. You look

165
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: at two years ago when these two guys were drafted,

166
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: Both these clubs were on the exact same trajectory they had.

167
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: They were looking for their franchise quarterback. They both had

168
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: got in eventually a top ten pick. They just jumped

169
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: up and took Darnald. Then the Bills took Josh Allen.

170
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: Then they came into the next offseason or mean that

171
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: same offseason, and had some free They had that rookie year,

172
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: then they had that huge year. Both teams had a

173
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: ton of money to spend in free agency. The Jets

174
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 1: bought Levy on Bell, C. J. Mosley, and the Bills

175
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: got a ton of guys, a lot of one year,

176
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: one year contracts, a lot of middle of the road

177
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: complete The Bills got out ahead of the Jets in

178
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 1: one respect. They got an offensive line in their second

179
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: They did not do that in New York. Oh they're

180
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: doing it now, right, so that they started to diverge

181
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: after that next off season, and they're in the point

182
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: now where the Bills are the are being picked by

183
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people to have a shot of winning

184
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: the AVAC East, and the Jets are not picked to

185
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: win the division. Whatever that means, and however that trans transpires. Uh.

186
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: Darnold got off missed a month of the season last

187
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 1: year because Amano. That's probably a little embarrassing for him,

188
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 1: you know where you like what you know, And they

189
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: got off to a one and seven start to start

190
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: the season. Last year, Bills got off to a better start,

191
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: ended up making the playoffs. Schedule helped and Josh Josh,

192
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: as you said, he had further to go. Darnel coming

193
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: out of USC played with against a better competition with

194
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: better weapons around him. Josh Allen was playing hero ball

195
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: in Wyoming because he could, and he was asked because

196
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: there wasn't a whole lot around him either, that's right.

197
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: His last years last year there, he was all by

198
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: himself offensively, and they were asking him to make throws

199
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: and do stuff that you know, you know, he's kind

200
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: of Cam Newton esque down there. So right, so that

201
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: so his development was hampered by that to begin with

202
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: that mentality. He's starting to get over that, and you

203
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 1: still see flashes of it. But these are two teams

204
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: that those two quarterbacks are always going to be linked

205
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: because they were picked close together by two teams in

206
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: the same division. They're good friends, they work out together,

207
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 1: they live, they live, they were roomies for a minute

208
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: in the off season out in California. They're they're gonna

209
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: be linked. And you know you already get some people say, well,

210
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: it's not really a rivalry. Well, they've split the series

211
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: in the last three years. Certainly last year Week seventeen,

212
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: Josh played what a half if that? Yeah? Right? So

213
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: they and we had all right, no, did he even play?

214
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: He played some? Yeah, that's right. And then he had

215
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie playing cornerback against Sam Darnold. Uh, you know

216
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: I remember that, right, So that was special. Uh. And

217
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: in week one and the last the Jets will tell

218
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: you. You You know, Sam Darnold through for I think eleven

219
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: touchdowns and four interceptions in his last eight games and

220
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: Josh was had fourteen tds and two interceptions in his

221
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: last eleven games. They both got it together in the

222
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: second half of last year. I think they both took

223
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: a hard step forward. How they take off in this

224
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: year is gonna be something that says, but this is

225
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: this is always going to be a rivalry. To me,

226
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 1: it is and you know, some the snark on Twitter

227
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: and our Twitter polls has already started off and running.

228
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: But nevertheless, these two guys are linked. Yeah, and we're

229
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: still early in their careers. We are. But that is

230
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: our Twitter poll today. It's actually a fill in the blank.

231
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: It's your choice to use whatever one word answer you

232
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: want or a two word phrase. But Twitter poll today

233
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: fill in the blank that Josh Allen Sam Darnold rivalry

234
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: entering year three is blank. So you guys fill that out.

235
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: We'll get your comments on the tweet sheet at one

236
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 1: Bills Live or call us up eight oh three five

237
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,359
Speaker 1: fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

238
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: We do want to get to Josh himself, as he

239
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: was asked about the high expectations that do exist for

240
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: the Bills entering the twenty twenty season. So here is

241
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: Josh's take on that expectation. I think for everybody, m

242
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: you know, the job that we are put here to

243
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: do is to try to win a Super Bowl. M

244
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: I think that's what our minds are set on. At

245
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: the same time, we're taking it one game at a

246
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: time where we're in about the New York and we

247
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: can't look forward to a Week two or a week

248
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: three year, you know, week seventeen for that matter, and

249
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: win an NFC title. But um, obviously playoff caliberis our

250
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: standard gear. We want to make it to the playoffs

251
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: because once you make it to the playoffs, everybody's got

252
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: a chance, and to to have a home playoff game

253
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: is going to be huge. So um, you know, Bean

254
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: was right when you said that. At the same time,

255
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: it's it's one game at a time. But ultimately, I

256
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: think everybody here um would say that. I mean our

257
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: goals to win a Super Bowl. I mean he's not

258
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: talking out of school there. I mean everybody begins the

259
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: season with their eyes on the ultimate prize. I think

260
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: you gotta do the stepping stone approach before you start

261
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: focusing on it too much. You gotta win game, win

262
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: Week one, and then take it from there. Yeah. Yeah,

263
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: the ego in stage, there's no question. You have you

264
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: have daily goals, and you have season goals, and you

265
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: have postseason aspirations, and I think you get you get

266
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: to one after you accomplished the other. Let's just be

267
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: ready to play for Sunday. Yeah, you know, And even

268
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: Brian Dable said day and his press conferences, listen, what

269
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: are your expectations for twenty twenty? Says I expect us

270
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: to have a good practice today. Yeah, that's that's the

271
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: expect and that's where you gotta do. You gotta be nearsighted.

272
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: You really gotta bunch it. You gotta chop it up

273
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: into today and then the next what do I do

274
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: next today? And let's kind of win this thing in

275
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: this next moment and then let's go on tomorrow and

276
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: we'll go to there. So it's a smart move certainly

277
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: in the big picture. Everybody's got aspirations and of huge aspirations,

278
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: but you get there one step at a time, and

279
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: you don't get there by taking steps backwards. So make

280
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: sure you're always moving forward, moment by moment, day by day.

281
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: That's where these guys are at, and that's what you

282
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: know Josh is alluding to, even though he says, listen,

283
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: that's the goal always, but you've got a lot of

284
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: long ways to get there. You got to do some

285
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: things now to get there. I think that one of

286
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: the most anticipated elements of this team that fans are

287
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: eager to see on Sunday is obviously the reinvigorated passing

288
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: game with the addition of Stefan Diggs, and people are

289
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: eager to see what kind of chemistry in a very

290
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: short period of time, and it's developed between Josh and Stefan.

291
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: So Josh was asked, you know, days away from the

292
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: opener here, how does it look? Yeah, I mean I

293
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: think that once we get into a game, when plays

294
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: break down, if I'm able to escape and extend to play,

295
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: just trying to be on the same page with them,

296
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: and that's something that doesn't come without the game reps.

297
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: You can say it and practice and draw it up

298
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: all sorts of different ways, but um, during the game

299
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: and in the heat of the battle, things going to change.

300
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: And as long as you're on the same page, I think, uh,

301
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: you know, and there's there there's a lot of plays

302
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: out there that can be made. So um, again, well

303
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: we'll see on Sunday. Time will tell, and um, you know,

304
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: I expect that relationship and the comfortableness to increase there

305
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: every game that we have so not promise in the world,

306
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: but saying they're on the right track. And to get

307
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: the other side of that, let's let's hear from one

308
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs on where he thinks their passing game, chemistry

309
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: and timing is. I'm still in the early phases. You know,

310
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: we haven't played any ball yet, so I kind of

311
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: like don't want to you know, never want to put

312
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: your foot in your mouth. But I could contribute it

313
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: to spending as much time that we have, you know,

314
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: all the call of duty, all the meeting time, all

315
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 1: the kind of hanging out and learning one each other

316
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: one another and uh, the private time. It's serious out there.

317
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: We kind of take it one step at the time.

318
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,239
Speaker 1: I won't play the time, but one thing I can

319
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: say is he got a lot of heart. He got

320
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,719
Speaker 1: a lot of heart, and the guy wants to be

321
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: great kind of like feeding off of that and kind

322
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 1: of like, uh, just being their support as a supportive cast,

323
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: as one of the one of the guy's supporting and

324
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: pushing them and kind of just you know, being doing

325
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 1: my job, you know, being me. So here's the thing

326
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,719
Speaker 1: that I took away from Josh's comments on the passing

327
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: game chemistry. He wasn't talking. He's not concerned so much

328
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: about the scripted stuff with his receivers. He is more

329
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: concerned about the stuff that has to happen off script

330
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: in football games. As we know, Josh is one of

331
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: those quarterbacks that is more than capable of extending a

332
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: play if what is originally designed kind of goes to

333
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: hell in a handbasket. So he was talking yesterday on

334
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: his conference call about how where they need to get

335
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: is to be on the same page even when the

336
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: play breaks down. He says, there's this sense within me

337
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: that if the play breaks down, I know what John's

338
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: going to do. John knows how he can help me.

339
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: Same thing with Beasley, he's still trying to get there

340
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: with Diggs at this point in time. How do you

341
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: kind of see that and why is it different than

342
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: the scripted play in terms of knowing your guy? Well,

343
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that you look for

344
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 1: is just rep after rep after rep of when he

345
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: rolls this way and I'm here, where do I go?

346
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: If he rolls this way and I'm in a different spot,

347
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: where do I go? What are the rules for a

348
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: scrambled drill? They run these things all the time. Scrambled

349
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: drills are really really important to go through. And I

350
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: just think when you do it, rep after rip after rip,

351
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 1: and then you talk about those reps even when they're

352
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: off especially when they're off script, because here's what I'm thinking,

353
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: here's what I'm doing, and and here's as a receiver.

354
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: And this is one of the reasons Jim used to

355
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: like to throw to me. I didn't care if he

356
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: knew what I was thinking, right, I need to know

357
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: what he was thinking. So I said, well, what do

358
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: you what do you see you? And he said he'd

359
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: tell me what he wanted me to do and what

360
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: he was expecting me to do in that situation. So

361
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: I started to get an understanding of what he was

362
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 1: looking for in other situations, and I would transpose that

363
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: onto the next situation. I would understand, we talk about that.

364
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: So it's for a receiver, and you know this is true.

365
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: You come back and the ball is nine feet over

366
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: your head, wobbling out of bounds. You come back and

367
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: it's like, bro, my bad, I gotta catch that, sorry, right,

368
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: and the quarterback is I'll I'll work better. You know,

369
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 1: you gotta know what the quarterback is thinking and give

370
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: it to him. And that's what that community cation is.

371
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: And the time they spend together helps with Yeah, and

372
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: that's why people might laugh when you're talking about developing chemistry.

373
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: And there's Stefan Diggs talking about all the time they

374
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,479
Speaker 1: spend online on the Xbox playing Call of Duty. But

375
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: there's a give and take on the headsets there that

376
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: they're just kind of, you know, vibing with each other

377
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: and talking here's what happened, and getting some you know,

378
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: you get to know his personality. So if Josh is

379
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: they're in the scrambled on this scrambled on the scramble,

380
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: and you know from playing cod with him, he's always

381
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: going for the you know, he's always attacking. He says, no,

382
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: let's not let's not huddle, let's not you know, go

383
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: behind this wall. Let's get out and go. That tells

384
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: you what he wants to do. When he scrambling, he says, go,

385
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. That kind of thing, that

386
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: kind of mindset. You get an idea of what his

387
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: mindset is and all of that. It's you can laugh

388
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: and it is kind of funny, but that kind of

389
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: knowledge about your buddies serve. Everybody's been there. You know,

390
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: you got buddies that you know, I knew you were

391
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: gonna do that. That that that's what it is. That's

392
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: exactly what you're talking about. The other task, and probably

393
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: the chief task for Buffalo's offense, is dealing with a

394
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: Greg Williams defense that is bound to get exotic, especially

395
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: when it gets to third down and third and long

396
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: in particular. So hopefully they can stay out of those

397
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: situations as much as possible. But Josh Allen has a

398
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: healthy respect for what Greg Williams typically dials up on defense.

399
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: He likes to heat it up obviously on third down

400
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: big time. Tampa two just tries to kind of keep

401
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: everything in front of you, and then when he gets

402
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: you into a third and in a longer situation, that's

403
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: when he tries to strike and force you to make

404
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: a bad decision. So the best thing we can do

405
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: to stay out of these situations, actually that's the game

406
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: of football. You want to put yourself in second and

407
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: third and manageable. But understanding that if we have a situation,

408
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: just like any game, if it's third and long, we

409
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: got to be pretty precise in the decision making process.

410
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: And not putting the ball in harms away and allowing

411
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: our defense to go out there and make them play

412
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 1: along field. It's he's going to be creative. I mean,

413
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: we've talked about it this week already, Steve like he's

414
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: got to make up for what is a clear deficiency,

415
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: at least in my eyes, with what they're going to

416
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: be lining up at cornerback. They got to help those guys,

417
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: and the best way to do that is to devise

418
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 1: different ways of creating pressure up front. You know, whether

419
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: you're dropping out somebody and rushing somebody else, or overloading aside,

420
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: whatever it is, He's going to have to get pretty

421
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: darn creative because these corners that he's putting out there.

422
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: Pierre de Sira has been in the league, but he

423
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: hasn't been a number one corner and he may have

424
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: to serve in that capacity. You got Bless Austin on

425
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: the other side, who is talented but has battled injuries

426
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: in his young career and doesn't have a lot of

427
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: time on the field. So that's a big ask for

428
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: those two guys against this receiving corp. There will be

429
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: there's always ways to cover up for deficient corners. Or

430
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 1: corners that you want to help out, and it'll come

431
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: down to also who they want help on there. Greg

432
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: Williams will be flexible enough to say, listen, if Steph

433
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: Diggs is here by himself, we're gonna help the guy

434
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: in the space. If they got three guys to one

435
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: side and digs to the other by himself, We're going

436
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 1: to help the corner on the far side with somebody.

437
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: Vice versa. If if you got him in a cluster.

438
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: They've got all kinds of rules they're gonna have for

439
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: helping those corners out. Now, you're right, Getting to the

440
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: quarterback fast is always a big help, but you got

441
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: to do it in a number of ways. You got

442
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: to do it every way. You've got to give the

443
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: corner help. You gotta let him play to the strength

444
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,479
Speaker 1: or play to where his help has heard the receiver

445
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: towards his help. They're gonna do all of those things.

446
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: And Greg Williams is known for being an aggressive guy,

447
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: which means he'll dial it up a little bit more

448
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 1: than other guys will and it'll be more confusing. But

449
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: he's also a great defensive coordinator because he has the

450
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: ability to pick his spots. That's the big ace in

451
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,959
Speaker 1: the hole that a defensive coordinator has. It's not so

452
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: much that you dial of what you dial up, because

453
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: he's got you know, you gotta bell, they'll be sound.

454
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: And what they do if they drive, if they rush, everybody,

455
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna be covered up at least something. You're only

456
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: gonna have one free guy and all of that. So

457
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: if he'll do that, But the simple fact of the

458
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: matter is he picks his spots brilliantly and it's when

459
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: you don't expect it that he sends it. And it's

460
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: when you know it's coming that he drops out and

461
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: catches you with a big swing and a miss. That's

462
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 1: why he's good at what he does. Certainly, there's a

463
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: ton of guys out there who know how to draw

464
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: that stuff up. Greg Williams knows when to climbing. He

465
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 1: can time it. And the only thing holding him back, Oh,

466
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 1: from the outside looking in, there's a couple of things.

467
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: One continuity, he doesn't know how many of these guys

468
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: can really get it done. And two the level of

469
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: play that he's got on this roster. He lost some

470
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: really good players. You to opt outs and trades in

471
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams and CJ. Mosley right, and not for nothing.

472
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: This is a defense that last year had trouble with

473
00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: mobile quarterbacks. They just lost their fastest fender in Jamal Adams.

474
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 1: And he's a great blitzer two, I mean really great

475
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 1: up in battling mobile quarterbacks. Jamal Adams was their best answer. Right,

476
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: He's not a part of the equation anymore. It's gonna

477
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: be tough for the pressure. In preparation for this game

478
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: on this Sunday, and went back and started watching a

479
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: bunch of Jet games from last year. I watched the

480
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 1: Week one game between the Bills and the Jets. Odd obviously,

481
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: now if you remember, I'm probably bringing this up on

482
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 1: the broadcast on Sunday. Josh Allen's first touchdown last year

483
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 1: was a pick six to see J. Mosley. It was

484
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: it was I don't know, I think it was a

485
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: batted pass or tipped pass. Yes, it was. It was

486
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: off Cole Beasley's hip. It was tipped right down. It

487
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: was a down low pass to Cole Beasley and it

488
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 1: batted up in the air. Mosley catched it, goes in

489
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: fifteen twenty yards for the touchdown. He also they turned

490
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: it over four times in the first half. Their first

491
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: drive was a thing of beauty until they got a

492
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: sack strip fumble and the Jets picked it up. That

493
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: was the end of their first drive. Then he threw

494
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: the pick six. Then they come back out and they

495
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: get down closed and I think he had one. They

496
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: might have gotten a field goal perhaps, but they were

497
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: down in the first half of this game with four turnovers,

498
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: and they were only down six points in this game.

499
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 1: I remember going to rough. I remember going down to

500
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: the radio booth at halftime and Murph is coming out

501
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: of there and he's, you know, going to grab a

502
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 1: snack or whatever at halftime, and he's looking at me

503
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: and he's shaking his head. I'm like, don't worry, they're

504
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: gonna win this game, because it was one of those

505
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: games where you're watching the Jets and they're up on

506
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: the scoreboard, but you're just saying to yourself, they're letting

507
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: this Bills team hang around four turnovers and you're only

508
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 1: up by what it's ten to three or where fourteen

509
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 1: to three, whatever it was, and uh, you're just there

510
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: was something in my gut that said the Bills they're

511
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: gonna probably win this game. They're gonna win this game,

512
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: they were they were playing well, um and Josh Allen

513
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: was spreading the football around uh and Sam Darnold's offensive

514
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: line was not protecting him real well. They were actually

515
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: leving on Bell. They were giving him a lot of

516
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: touches in that first game, which later on in the

517
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: season they got criticized for not doing. You know, nevertheless,

518
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: it's you know, it was a game where the Bills

519
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: looked competitive and played well, but couldn't get anything on

520
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: the scoreboard because they were turning it over. There's one

521
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: other storyline for Sunday's game, and that involves the fans

522
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: and the fact that they will not be in the

523
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: stands at Bill's Stadium on Sunday, something that obviously everybody

524
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 1: would rather avoid and have fans in the stands. We

525
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: know the impact that they make on game day, and

526
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: so did the players. So here is Josh's take on

527
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: playing the home opener without fans in the seats. It's

528
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 1: gonna be it's gonna be pretty weird. You know. We

529
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: had a mock game, if you will, a couple of

530
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: weeks ago, and as crazy as it felt, it did

531
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: feel like the real deal. You know. We had the

532
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: announcer going. We had music inside, and it's just it's

533
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: gonna be a different film. And you score a touchdown

534
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: and it's just not instant crowd reaction. You can't pump

535
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 1: up the crowd, and so we got to be on

536
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: our p's and ques, and as far as communication go,

537
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,199
Speaker 1: that thing's going to help out a little bit. But

538
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: at the same time, it's you know, it hurts our

539
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: defense because the offense can communicate so well. So it's

540
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: gonna be a bit of an adjustment period. But you know,

541
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: we got guys that love love the game of football

542
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: and just want to play, and this is what we

543
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: gotta do. We gotta do it. And there will be

544
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: artificial crowd noise which can be played at a maximum

545
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: of seventy decibels. I also read that they can play

546
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: music through the sound system in between plays at a

547
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: peak level of seventy five decibels, so there will be noise,

548
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: hopefully enough to drown out the calls being made on

549
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: the field so the opponent can't hear it, because otherwise

550
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,959
Speaker 1: that's going to add a whole another layer of changes

551
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: that coordinate they're going to have to make with their

552
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: call so the opponent doesn't get a beat on them,

553
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: and God forbid, you know it's audible enough to hear

554
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: over the television copy. Now you've got all your opponents

555
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season who know what the

556
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: call was and then what was executed and what the

557
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: code name is for that. So I think they're trying

558
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: to use this artificial crowd noise to keep the coordinators

559
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: from having to make those frequent changes not only in game,

560
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: for the next week as well, where this is going

561
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: to mean this on this call. That's why they're pumping

562
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: it in more than anything else, right, right, And that's yeah,

563
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: it's all a little kay. There's no question it's gamesmanship,

564
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: but it also there's all something to get help it

565
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: feel a little bit more attractive to the television viewers

566
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: a little bit. They'll be able to hear that, and

567
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: certainly Foxes said they're going to pipe it into the broadcast,

568
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: whether it's in the stadiums or not. They're going to

569
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,479
Speaker 1: try that at least on one game. They're also going

570
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: to do some virtual fans on one of the broadcasts

571
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: to see how that goes, like they're doing in the

572
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: NBA just check the fans up and all of that

573
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: is on the docket. There's a lot of unknowns about

574
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: how this game is going to look and feel. We'll

575
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: get a goods feel of what it's like in Kansas

576
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: City tonight, so that'll be interesting to see. But I

577
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: just look for this to be one of those games

578
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: where you'll see at different times teams being ultra aggressive

579
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: because they feel like they got an edge and they

580
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: want to take that tack and put the other team

581
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: on it. He'll exploit that, and then you'll see other

582
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: times where they're a little bit tentative about what's going

583
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: on and where they start talking or where they can

584
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: hear or whatever. There's gonna be some real weird situations

585
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: that whether they manifest themselves where we can see it

586
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: as viewers, or whether the players are just gonna say, wow,

587
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: it was weird and we have to ask them how

588
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: it felt. Yeah, there's no question it's going to be

589
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: a strange environment on a lot of levels. All Right,

590
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: we have to take a break, but when we return,

591
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: we'll hear from Leslie Frazier and from Brian Dable. The

592
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: two coordinators addressed the media via zoom calls prior to

593
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: practice this morning, and they both talked about Stefon Diggs.

594
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier also had some very interesting comments on one

595
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: aj EPENESA. Stay tuned for that. We'll get to all

596
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: of it when we return here on One Bills Live

597
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio. Back

598
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: on one Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Jasper with you

599
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: as we are making our way through some of the

600
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: more interesting comments made by Bills players and coaches this week.

601
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: We should mention this week's game sponsor against the Jets

602
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: at Bills Stadium is ECMC. ECMC, the official healthcare provider

603
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. We wanted to get to some

604
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: comments made by Leslie Frasier who addressed the media this

605
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: morning prior to practice via zoom call, and he was

606
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,479
Speaker 1: asked about Sam Darnold, which is the subject of our

607
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: Twitter poll. In a manner of speaking, it's a fill

608
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: in the blank Twitter poll today. The Josh Allen Sam

609
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: Darnold's rivalry entering year three is blank. So you're fill

610
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: in the blank there. Hit us up at one Bills

611
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: Live or give us a call at eight oh three

612
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: five fifty one two five fifty. But Coach Frasier, you

613
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: know despite all the struggles that Donald has had with

614
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: the talent around him and the change of coordinators from

615
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: his rookie year to his second year, has seen development

616
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: in Darnald's game. Here's what he said. Look back Matt

617
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,959
Speaker 1: first year playing against him and watch him tape on him,

618
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: and just how much he's grown as a player. He has.

619
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: He really seems to feel compliment in this current offense

620
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: system that he'll be in now for the second year

621
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: in a row. And you can see it last season

622
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: his maturation over the course of the season. A lot

623
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: more calmer, a lot more poised, played with a lot

624
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: lot more confidence later in the season than he did

625
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: early in the season, and I'm sure that had something

626
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: to do with getting comfortable in that office. So a

627
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: lot of growth with really good mobility, good alm strength,

628
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: and seems to be a smart quarterback as well, so

629
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,719
Speaker 1: he'll present some challenge voice for Schuman. I mean, Darnold's

630
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: a guy that can make plays off script too, but

631
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: people forget that. You know, his offensive coordinator in his

632
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: rookie season was Jeremy Bates, who was the coordinator under

633
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: head coach Todd Bowles. Bowls gets canned at the end

634
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: of the year and incomes Adam Gasee and he makes

635
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: Dowel Loggins his offensive coordinator. But this is the second

636
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: straight season that Darnold has the same coordinator, same offensive scheme,

637
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: So that's got to benefit him in some capacity, and

638
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: it benefits him, but he's got different guys around it.

639
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: Well that yeah, and that's that's the issue at work now,

640
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: especially with the offseason of COVID Now. I think it

641
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: was about two weeks after Josh had the South Florida

642
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: workouts with the balance of the offensive side of the

643
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: roster skill position players. Two weeks later, Darnold went into

644
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: the same thing. I even kind of poked fun at him.

645
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: I said, oh, I wonder where you got that idea.

646
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: I said that on twin are just having a little

647
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: fun with him. So he was trying to accomplish the

648
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: same thing because I think he recognized, like, I'm gonna

649
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: have new guys. I was out of Jamison Crowder and

650
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: Chris herndon the tight end. I have a new guy

651
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: in Brashad Perryman, a new guy in Denzel Mims, you know,

652
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: and so I'm gonna have a new offensive lineman. You know.

653
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 1: There's a lot to pull together there, and with the

654
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 1: absence of OTAs and mini camp and no preseason games

655
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: to get live reps, I think it's gonna be an

656
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: exercise in fits and starts here for the Jets through

657
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks anyway, maybe longer. Five new

658
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: starters on the man, five man, a rookie left tackle,

659
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: all though, I mean, you just dropped five new guys

660
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: out of the sky. Here, go protect this kid that place.

661
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: I believe they probably will be upgrades at all five

662
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: positions physically, or at least they're supposed to be. Yeah,

663
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: they made George Fant the right tackle one of their

664
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: offensive cap as. I say so, Yeah, you gotta think

665
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 1: they're gonna be better, or they wouldn't have done it.

666
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: It can't be worse, right, I mean, I think they

667
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: were thirty first in yards per playlist. They were they

668
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: were bad. It was their offense really struggled by. It

669
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: was a rough go. Now, Stefan Diggs is a player

670
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: that naturally has drawn a lot of attention here in

671
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:27,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo just by virtue of his cache and his NFL resume,

672
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: and after coming here via trade, and while a lot

673
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: of players on the offensive side of the ball, have

674
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: been asked to comment on how he looks, what is he,

675
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: what kind of talent is he? What kind of guy

676
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: is he? Coach Frasier was asked today for his impressions

677
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: on Diggs and how much he helps coach Frasier's defensive

678
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: players by going against them in practice every day. I

679
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: would think for Tray or anybody guys, to go against

680
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: a receiver of that calvalry, you know, only prepares you

681
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: better for the season, because you're not gonna find men

682
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: that are better at what they do and step on.

683
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 1: So it should help improve your game and really expose

684
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: some things that you think you might know that you

685
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: find out that you might need to work on because

686
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: of this talent level. So it can only come to

687
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,439
Speaker 1: to Google Scout like that day in and day out.

688
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's kind of a no brainer. John

689
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: Brown and Cole Beasley last year upgraded the talent level

690
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: that Buffalo's defensive backs had to go against every day

691
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 1: in practice, and Diggs takes it to another level now.

692
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: And the thing that I keep hearing is Diggs practices hard,

693
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: like every single rep is full speed, game speed. Let's

694
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 1: do it, and I gotta imagine the quarterback loves that

695
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: because anytime you can replicate game speed and practice, it's

696
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: going to make it that much easier when you get

697
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: to the game. Yeah, it becomes habit, and not only

698
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: for you when you do it, it becomes habit for

699
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: the guys who defend you. And they, you know, they

700
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:01,439
Speaker 1: step onto the field and they say, Okay, this rep

701
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. Say I'm gonna get Stef Diggs. Okay,

702
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta go. Um, it becomes more natural

703
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: never to take your foot off the gas on the field.

704
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 1: You know, it becomes natural and you become acclimated to

705
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: that mindset of I'm going hard every play. And it's

706
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: important because there are times and you see it at

707
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: WIGH a lot at lower levels of football. Sometimes you

708
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: see it at the pro level, but at the lower

709
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 1: levels of football you see it all the time. The

710
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 1: receiver knows it's a run play and he kind of

711
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: walks off the field, you know, he kind of walks

712
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: off the line of his career with the ball snapped

713
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: and he kind of you know, he you know, kind

714
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: of don't hit me, dB, you know, I'm gonna we're

715
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: not in this play. Kind of thing um that doesn't

716
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: happen uh now very often, even when it's a run

717
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: play stuff. You know, they're they're hustling in to get

718
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: in a sun, to get somebody, to put a hat

719
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: on somebody, or they're they're running the guy off down

720
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 1: the field making him think it's a pass when you

721
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: know you've got Devin Singletary getting the hand off in

722
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: the backfield running right up behind you. So it that

723
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: kind of for on every play, even when you're not

724
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: directly involved in. It sets a tone that guys like

725
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: Zach Moss, guys like Gabriel Davis, guys like, oh, this

726
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: is how we precue it. Oh, I see that, I

727
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: get it, And it spreads and it becomes a cult.

728
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: It becomes part of the you know, that's the expectation

729
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 1: the North. Now. The most interesting comment that I thought

730
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:28,760
Speaker 1: coach Frasier made today was with respect to the rookie

731
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: aj Epinessa. We haven't heard much about him. He's kind

732
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 1: of a little buried on the depth chart with all

733
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 1: of the veterans that are in front of him. Trent Murphy,

734
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes, Mario Addison. I mean run down the list,

735
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 1: which is a good thing too, because the pressure isn't

736
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: on him to make major contributions here as a rookie

737
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 1: can just kind of like find his niche, you know,

738
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: and doesn't feel like there's a ton of pressure on him.

739
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: There are guys here that are proven in this league

740
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: that are going to take on, you know, the major

741
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: roles here with respect to the pass rush. But I

742
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: was encouraged to hear this comment from coach Fraser about

743
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: FP and S's progress. We have seen tremendous growth with

744
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: Aj from when we open training camp with the rookies

745
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: and until today. I mean I just told him yesterday

746
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 1: in the stretch line, I said, man, just so proud

747
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: of the way he has progressed, because it's hard for

748
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: those rookies, all workers in our league this year, with

749
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: not having an all season of any sorts, to come

750
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: into a training camp with the vestans that we have

751
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: and try to find your way and get acclimated to

752
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: pro football when the game is so much faster than

753
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: college football. It took him a moment to adjust, but

754
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: you can see him going through that process and slowly

755
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: but gradually improving alone the way to the point where

756
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: now he's more a part of the conversation how we

757
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: can use him in games and and so it's it's

758
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: our conversations about him going in a totally different direction

759
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 1: because of his increased confidence and the more experience that

760
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:02,280
Speaker 1: he's gotten within our system and how we do things.

761
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: Really pleased with his progress. What that says to me

762
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,800
Speaker 1: is at the outset, as little as a week ago,

763
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: these coaches and you know, thinking about and planning for

764
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: week one, are saying, Okay, we're gonna have a healthy

765
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 1: rotation upfront with that defensive line. How big a part

766
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: is the rookie kid gonna play? I don't know. I

767
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: don't know if he's quite ready yet. It might be

768
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:27,879
Speaker 1: a little too much for him right off the bat

769
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: to give him more than you know, ten fifteen snaps.

770
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:35,720
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden in this last week, something

771
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: clicked and he is on the come. Now to where

772
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 1: the coaches are looking at each other going, we'll hold

773
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: up a second. We might be able to get this

774
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: guy into a regular rotation here with what he's showing

775
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: us this last week. Yeah, that's that's a major development, right, Yes,

776
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: no question about it. It It is, and you know it's

777
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: a it's another bullet in your gun. Yeah it is,

778
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: And it's just one more rep that you know that

779
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: gives use some fresh legs. It's one more rep where

780
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: a guy's got a chip on his shoulder where a

781
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: japan You don't think a Jampanez gonna come in and

782
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: want to get like nine sacks in his rookie debut,

783
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Uh, certainly you want to put

784
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 1: him in a position where you think he's gonna have

785
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: a chance to do something that he actually knows what

786
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: he's doing. Um, maybe staying at home on a run

787
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 1: run play or something maybe not what you want to do, right,

788
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe you don't put him in for that. Just say, listen,

789
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 1: you're gonna go, you're gonna rush the pastor let's see

790
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: what you got that kind of thing. Give him some

791
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 1: simple stuff to do and then go from there. But

792
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: you know he's gonna be highly motivated. It's in this

793
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: case it's probably a good idea that there aren't any

794
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: fans in the stands, because you go out there your

795
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 1: first time in Bill Stadium knowing it's there are all

796
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 1: these people on your side. I mean it, you know,

797
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 1: your head explodes. Might be able to focus more without

798
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: the fans it's like, yeah, it might not be the

799
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: distraction where every time you look at you bend, you

800
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 1: bend the throttle forward. You know, it gives you a

801
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 1: chance to like, whoa, okay, get your bearings. Okay here right,

802
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: what do I do? Okay, I got it. Let's go,

803
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: you know that kind of thing instead of like, let's

804
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: go you know, I mean, I like that. That's good.

805
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: But when you know when your head your you know,

806
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 1: your eyes are everywhere and you're like Arizon fire and

807
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: then you're then something happens you're not supposed to do that.

808
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 1: When you think you're gonna do yeah, that, then you're

809
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 1: in trouble. So something one hundred miles per hour the

810
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 1: wrong way exactly exactly. But so I think it for

811
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: guys like Epinezza, uh, you know, Zach Moss, all these

812
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 1: guys is probably and now you know too, probably Ed Oliver,

813
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:40,879
Speaker 1: same kind of thing. Ed knows what it is to be. Yeah,

814
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 1: and he comes in. You know, you talk about a

815
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: guy who's gonna be blowing smoke out of his nostrils. Yeah, yeah,

816
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: you gotta okay, you know, just take a deep breath

817
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: and just go out and play, you know what I mean? Yeah.

818
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it's always fun to go out there like

819
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: that and just like have and I used to be

820
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: able to do it because I have a special team.

821
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: I get one shot, I'm gonna go out there and

822
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: I'm just take the snap, the throttle off and let's

823
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: I am. I am jumping in front of that bulldozer

824
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna stop that kind of thing. Yeah, that's great,

825
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: and it's okay for me because you know, it's different

826
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,919
Speaker 1: on special teams. But for those guys, you know, there's

827
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: a lot of different options that they got. It was

828
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: just it was just really encouraging to hear that suddenly

829
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 1: AJ is making this late surge at the tail end

830
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: of training camp, right on the cusp of the regular season,

831
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: to the point where the coaching staff is rethinking their

832
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: plans for him in week one, like, well he may

833
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 1: have a bit part here. Well, we may want to

834
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 1: get him in a few more series. He might be

835
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 1: able to make some plays for us here. I mean,

836
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: that's that's a development for sure. All Right, we gotta

837
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 1: take a break, but when we come back, we'll get

838
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: to one. Brian Dable, we haven't heard from him yet.

839
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: He's got a couple of comments not only on Diggs

840
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 1: and now he's playing, but the leadership role that he

841
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: has adopted in his early days in a Bill's uniform.

842
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: And he's also gonna weigh in on Greg william and

843
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,800
Speaker 1: the exotic looks that he can throw at the Bills

844
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: offense this week. That's all coming up next here on

845
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,720
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by Kalidah Health. This is Buffalo

846
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:23,240
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you One Bills Live.

847
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 1: As we were closing up the first hour of the

848
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 1: program here with you until three, it just seems like

849
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: the whole world's coming apart with this game coming up.

850
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 1: It's like nobody's ever had a game before. Well, yeah,

851
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: there's always right at every NFL facility that's hosting a

852
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: home game in Week one. As experienced as all the

853
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: parties involved are, there's always a little bit of a

854
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: scramble in Week one. That's to be expected. Things come

855
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: up last minute, you know, whether it's sponsorship, engagement, or

856
00:44:56,400 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 1: some kind of security issue that you know you have

857
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:04,280
Speaker 1: or you're concerned about, whatever it is, there's usually something.

858
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: And amidst the COVID situation, there's a whole lot more

859
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 1: of those things. Um, I can't tell you how long

860
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: people in the area where I am in the other

861
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 1: building at my desk are on conference calls all day long.

862
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,959
Speaker 1: It's like, oh my gosh, all day long, I would

863
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: talking about and here's my head would expect how do

864
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,280
Speaker 1: you get in this, this whole thing with the NFL

865
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 1: and these game day things. The more you're talking about

866
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 1: what ifs correct and you're trying to what if a

867
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: herd a herd of people? Right, yeah, and that's use

868
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: and yeah, and use science and data to try to

869
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 1: make the best decision you can. And what you've got

870
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: to work with, and what you want to provide for them,

871
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: what you're required to provide with them, what would be

872
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: an amenity, and what would be at you know, a

873
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: staple everything? And if we have this many or that many,

874
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's it's a lot. We do want

875
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: to get to the tweet. She brought to you by

876
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 1: Corrigan Oregan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of

877
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,240
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. As we are asking you, the Josh

878
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 1: Allen Sam Darnold rivalry entering year three is blank. So

879
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 1: we lead off with Mike, who says it's not even

880
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 1: a contest anymore. The McBean machine has surrounded Allan with

881
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: the tools he needed to grow, while darnold surroundings have

882
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 1: been piecemeal and questionable at best. Hard to argue with

883
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: that right there, the official status, she says, they're one

884
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: on one against each other. Yeah, we're counting the Week

885
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 1: seventeen game last year. That's like the Bills counting Week

886
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,919
Speaker 1: seventeen give up games by the Patriots over the last

887
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,359
Speaker 1: twenty years, when you know they sat half their team

888
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: because they had the first do what you gotta do

889
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: turn around his fair place. True, but that it's it's

890
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 1: gonna be ongoing. There's no question about it, and it

891
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: would be nice if these games happened, like Jim Kelly

892
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,400
Speaker 1: Dan Marino back in the bar. Everybody would sign up

893
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: for that. Yeah. The second game of the year was

894
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: always for the division title between the two teams, and

895
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: then you'd meet him in the playoffs either Wildcarter Division. Yeah,

896
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: usually you know so, and in one case it was

897
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: the championship game ANC Championship down in Miami, which we won.

898
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: So you know, that's kind of that's what a rivalry is.

899
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 1: Not get it too. Some of these people are like

900
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: you know, they didn't want to talk about it. They're like, yeah,

901
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 1: and I exist, I don't care, right, And it's hard

902
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: to get it. It's hard for a rivalry to exist

903
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 1: when the surrounding team for one one player or the

904
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 1: other is just not there or doesn't measure up. And

905
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are of the opinion

906
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 1: that the Jets roster just doesn't measure up right now

907
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 1: to the collection of talent on the Bills Russ and

908
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: it's hard to project. And we couldn't do it. We

909
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: couldn't even do it back then, although pretty quickly it was.

910
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 1: It became evident later in their careers, but early in

911
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 1: their careers. Dan Marino was in the league at the

912
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: same year, but he was without Jim Kelly for two years,

913
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:01,839
Speaker 1: so Kelly was in the USFL, came back and they

914
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:03,720
Speaker 1: finally started playing against you, and then the Bills finally

915
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: got good and they started winning some games and became

916
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 1: a rivalry later. But you got two Hall of Fame

917
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 1: guys going. Yeah, hard to project Sam Dardal and Josh

918
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,799
Speaker 1: Allen to that extent now, even though they started from

919
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 1: day one being in the same division. They've met three

920
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 1: times in three years. Yeah. From Jack, he says the

921
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 1: rivalry is potentially exciting. This could be Kelly versus Marino. However,

922
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 1: if the Jets have a bad year, Gays will be

923
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,839
Speaker 1: gone and the GM and new coach could want their

924
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: own pick and Darnald could be sent packing. I don't

925
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: think that'll happen, but he says the rivalry may be

926
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 1: dead in the water after twenty twenty, but we'll see

927
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 1: go Bills now. I could see Adam Gates being shown

928
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:45,359
Speaker 1: the door, and then that likely means the third coordinator

929
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,360
Speaker 1: for Sam Darnold in four years, which is something that

930
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 1: we saw with other quarterback prospects here in Buffalo not

931
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:55,280
Speaker 1: too long ago. Whether it was Jplassman or Trent Edwards

932
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 1: or EJ. Manuel, those guys went through a slew of

933
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:02,320
Speaker 1: coordinators very early in their careers and it compromised their growth.

934
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: It's a crusher, and I see it the benefit that

935
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has had because of the stability and the

936
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:17,319
Speaker 1: success the team has had to give them the opportunity

937
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 1: to get stable, I guess, but also to be smart

938
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 1: enough to say, hey, listen, let's keep on keeping on.

939
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 1: Plus the fact that both coordinators, despite the development of

940
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: a young quarterback a lot of people thought was going

941
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 1: to be a complete bust has actually been pretty steady

942
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:36,839
Speaker 1: and notable. You still keep those coordinators in tact. That's

943
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,799
Speaker 1: hard to do. That's been a huge plus for this

944
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 1: club and one that I hope continues. Although you do

945
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 1: kind of hope for Leslie Frazier and Brian Dable to

946
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,240
Speaker 1: kind of get some reward for the for the success

947
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: and the and the good things they've done here in Buffalo.

948
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:51,280
Speaker 1: But by the same token you saying, gosh, don't go anywhere,

949
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 1: all right, we have to step aside where at the

950
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 1: top of the hour, but after the sports update, we

951
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: will have Jets pregame analyst and former safety Eric Coleman

952
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,320
Speaker 1: joining us to Jets as he gives us an inside

953
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: peak as to just how that team is coming together

954
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 1: coming out of that training camp down in Fair Lawn,

955
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: New Jersey. That's coming up after the break. Here on

956
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 1: one Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health, This is Buffalo

957
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 1: Bills Radiokalo Bill's Radio Network Sports update the Bills with

958
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: a walk through today after getting an extra day of

959
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: practice in on Monday. On the injury report was Josh

960
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: Norman who did not practice on Wednesday. Levi Wallace, however,

961
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: did practice fully, but still no determination from the coaches

962
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 1: as to who will start opposite Trdavious White at the

963
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: other cornerback spot. Among the other players on Buffalo's injury

964
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 1: report this week Vernon Butler with a hamstring and Taiwan

965
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 1: Jones with a knee injury. The NFL season officially gets

966
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: underway tonight, when the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City

967
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:58,280
Speaker 1: Chiefs host the Houston Texans. The Chiefs and Texans feature

968
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 1: young phenom quarterbacks coming off record setting contracts this offseason,

969
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 1: and Pat Mahomes and Deshaun Watson. Kickoff is set for

970
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 1: a twenty PM. It's official Bronco's pass rusher Von Miller

971
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: will need to have surgery on the dislocated tendon in

972
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: his ankle and is out several months. There's a good

973
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,320
Speaker 1: chance that Denver will be without the star pass rusher

974
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: for the twenty twenty season. NFL Network reporting today that

975
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Texans players have been in talks

976
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 1: about a joint demonstration before tonight's game that makes a

977
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 1: statement on racial injustice and shows unity. One possibility discussed

978
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 1: per NFL Networks Tom Pellisio is both teams staying in

979
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 1: the locker room during the national anthem. This season, the

980
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 1: NFL has encouraged players to use their voices in the

981
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:44,399
Speaker 1: league has extensive social justice messaging planned for Week one

982
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,840
Speaker 1: end throughout the season. Game three tonight in the Stanley

983
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,800
Speaker 1: Cup Finals Western Conference Finals Dallas Stars in Vegas Golden

984
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: Knights noted at one each game featured a shutout win.

985
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 1: See if that trend continues tonight. And that is your

986
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 1: sports update from One Bill's Drive. Chris Brown, Steve Taster

987
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: with you our number the two of the program as

988
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: we're broadcasting from the Seneca Studios at One Bills Drive.

989
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: And joining us on the line right now is Jets

990
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 1: pregame analyst and former safety one Eric Coleman is going

991
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:15,400
Speaker 1: to join us on the program here. Eric, good to

992
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 1: have you. We're ready to talk some Jets with you,

993
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,359
Speaker 1: So we're gonna need you to fill us in on

994
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: the goings on down there in Fair Lawn, New Jersey.

995
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:24,799
Speaker 1: How are you doing. I'm doing great. I'm excited the

996
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 1: football starting today and you know, getting ready for this

997
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,240
Speaker 1: great matchup between the Bills and the Jets. Yeah. Amen,

998
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:33,800
Speaker 1: to that. I know all of the talk up here

999
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,439
Speaker 1: with respect to the Bills has been on the new

1000
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 1: addition to their passing game in the form of Stefan Diggs.

1001
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 1: I know the Jets have a couple as well, Breshad

1002
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: Perriman and Denzel Mims, but Breshad had an injury and

1003
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: Denzel Mims, as we know, had a hamstring injury that

1004
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 1: kept him out of most of training camp. What is

1005
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: the expectation down there as to what those two guys

1006
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 1: are gonna be able to give this offense here in

1007
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 1: Week one coming off of those injuries. Well, I think

1008
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 1: both players are set to play. You know, Denzel Mims

1009
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:08,320
Speaker 1: obviously is at the disadvantage being a rookie, no offseason,

1010
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 1: no OTA's and missing most of the the training camp is

1011
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: going to be tough for him to get into groove

1012
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 1: with Sam Darnold. But you know, definitely has the skill

1013
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 1: set to go out there and make some plays, and

1014
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: I think they're counting on him to make a few.

1015
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 1: Brashap Perriman obviously a veteran player. I think that he's

1016
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,879
Speaker 1: going to contribute quite a bit, and they look forward

1017
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: to having those two out there on the field. It's

1018
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: hard to imagine an offseason being more difficult to navigate.

1019
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 1: Not only is a rookie but also a veteran. Adam

1020
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:34,839
Speaker 1: Gates took a little bit of criticism or at least

1021
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 1: some raised eyebrows. He never did any in person meetings.

1022
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,319
Speaker 1: He did all the meetings were virtual and now they've

1023
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:42,399
Speaker 1: started to begun to go face to face a little

1024
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 1: bit with social distancing. How do you think the vibe

1025
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: has been at Jets at the Jets facility about how

1026
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 1: they're handling this. They're optimism about how well they they're

1027
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: going to get through it well. I mean, I think

1028
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: everyone is very optimistic. You know, they're they're excited to

1029
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 1: be playing ball. I think everyone over there understands the

1030
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:02,919
Speaker 1: privilege that they have and playing in the NFL. And

1031
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,400
Speaker 1: while you know it may be a big distraction, I

1032
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 1: think they've really handled it well and they're excited about

1033
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:10,719
Speaker 1: the opportunity to start the season, to play against the

1034
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: Bills and get the season off to the right start.

1035
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:18,360
Speaker 1: How big a hill do you see this Jets defense

1036
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:21,399
Speaker 1: having to climb this season in light of what they

1037
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 1: have lost, Because outside observers are focusing on what the

1038
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 1: Jets have lost here whether it's Jamal Adams via trade,

1039
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:29,239
Speaker 1: whether it's c J. Mosley via opt out, or even

1040
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:33,839
Speaker 1: Patrick Owasso going on IR just this past week. That's

1041
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 1: a lot of talent you're taking off the field for

1042
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,359
Speaker 1: a Jets defense that finished seventh in the league last year.

1043
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:44,319
Speaker 1: Is what is the perspective of the guys on that

1044
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 1: side of the ball? I mean outside observers can say

1045
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: what they want. What are the guys in that room

1046
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 1: feel about their prospects on the defensive side of the

1047
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: ball despite those losses? Well, you know, I think this

1048
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 1: is a very confident defense and they're really excited, you know,

1049
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:01,240
Speaker 1: for the opportunity. You know, anytime you have Greg Williams

1050
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 1: leading the charge, you're gonna have a confident group. But

1051
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 1: I think if you look back to last year and

1052
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:07,840
Speaker 1: what they did with you know, losing c J. Mosley,

1053
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:11,320
Speaker 1: losing Avery Williamson, uh, you know, the first preseason in

1054
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 1: the first game, and to go on and do the

1055
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:15,359
Speaker 1: things that they did, I think they surprised a lot

1056
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 1: of people outside of the locker room. I think it's

1057
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,240
Speaker 1: the same challenge now. You know, they're they're looking forward

1058
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:23,760
Speaker 1: to the opportunities getting some experience and some younger players,

1059
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 1: and you know they're they're very excited about the young

1060
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 1: safety Ashton Davis from CAW, the third rounder. He's made

1061
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: some splashes in training camp. Obviously, Bradley McDougald, the player

1062
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 1: that they got in return along with the draft picks

1063
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 1: for Jamal Adams, has been having a great camp as well.

1064
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 1: So Marcus May's looking forward to taking his game to

1065
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:43,839
Speaker 1: the next level. They have a lot of their playmakers

1066
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: back Quinnon Williams obviously, Steve McClinton has been a you know,

1067
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,879
Speaker 1: a great leader in the front of that defense. So

1068
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:52,279
Speaker 1: this defense is excited. They think that they can be

1069
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: just as good, if not better than they were last year.

1070
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 1: Steve are we surprised that Eric Coleman started with the

1071
00:55:56,920 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 1: safeties when he started talking abouts. So Adam Gas is

1072
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 1: leading this ship. He took some criticism last year. They

1073
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 1: got off to a horrific one and seven starts. Then

1074
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 1: they closed pretty strong, no question about six and two

1075
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 1: over their last eight. Sam Darnold showed up big. How

1076
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 1: what scenario do a lot of people are, you know,

1077
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 1: counting Adam gazes. He's a dead man walking. They think

1078
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:23,839
Speaker 1: these under a really a lot of pressure is it

1079
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:26,839
Speaker 1: gonna be about the teams success or is it gonna

1080
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:29,880
Speaker 1: be about Sam Donald's success? What kind of mix is

1081
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 1: there in that? What? How good did the Jets have

1082
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 1: to be so that Adam Gates will be coaching him

1083
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. Well, you know, I think that

1084
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 1: the offense obviously has to continue to improve. Last year,

1085
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:45,000
Speaker 1: you talk about their their start in the first eight games,

1086
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:46,840
Speaker 1: and you know, you have Sam Donald out with Mono.

1087
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:50,919
Speaker 1: You know, the offensive line was was very suspect last

1088
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:54,400
Speaker 1: year at best and uh and this year they improved

1089
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 1: the offensive line. They drafted Mackay Beckton, the big left tackle. Um.

1090
00:56:57,719 --> 00:56:59,839
Speaker 1: You know, they brought on some veterans, and I think

1091
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 1: there everyone is looking for Sam Donald to take those

1092
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:04,880
Speaker 1: leaps and bounds. You know, ending the season six and

1093
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 1: two last year was a great springboard into the offseason

1094
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 1: and going into this coming season, and I think that

1095
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 1: they're looking to build off of that momentum. And I

1096
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:15,520
Speaker 1: think if they can do that, I think if Sam

1097
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: Donald you see him take those strides and make those

1098
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 1: plays that everyone expected him to make after he was

1099
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 1: drafted out of USC and then I think that everything

1100
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 1: will be great. You know, everyone knows Adam Gates was

1101
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:29,920
Speaker 1: brought here because of his offensive mind, because of his

1102
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: relationship with quarterbacks, and I think Sam Donald is really

1103
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: the key component to the growth of this team and

1104
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 1: for Adam Gates's success. We're talking with Jets pregame analyst

1105
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: and former safety Eric Coleman about how this Jets team

1106
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 1: is looking as it enters the regular season. And you

1107
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 1: mentioned the difficulty that the rookies will experience having no

1108
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 1: OTA's mini camp, preseason games, etc. To get used to

1109
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 1: the live bullets. What about this completely revamped offensive line.

1110
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 1: I think we all know the continuity that has to

1111
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 1: happen up front to execute effectively as a unit, and

1112
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,959
Speaker 1: time on the job has been limited for these five

1113
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 1: to play off one another, even though they might have

1114
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 1: a wealth of experience in their time in the league.

1115
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 1: So what's been the general consensus on the performance of

1116
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 1: this offensive line through the course of training camp and

1117
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 1: maybe the scrimmage that they had a week or so

1118
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:22,919
Speaker 1: ago in terms of how it's fitting together and how

1119
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:27,880
Speaker 1: fluid their play is as a five man unit. Well,

1120
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 1: you know, I think that obviously, you know, with the

1121
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 1: offensive line not having those games to gain that chemistry.

1122
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 1: With that being said, I think that they've done a

1123
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 1: great job. You know. Obviously McKay Beckton is the guy

1124
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 1: who you're going to talk about. He's, you know, the

1125
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 1: big left tackle I'm out of Louisville, who's very athletic.

1126
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 1: He's he's a very large man and is very physically imposing.

1127
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 1: But they brought on some other great players as well,

1128
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 1: you know, George Fan from Seattle, you know, and they're

1129
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:56,320
Speaker 1: really looking forward to this group making strides. You know,

1130
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 1: I think they're very confident in the groups that they've

1131
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:01,520
Speaker 1: put together. You know, Joe Douglas is his offensive lineman.

1132
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 1: He's a he has an offensive lineman mentality. And this

1133
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,440
Speaker 1: group right here is very close knit. They're excited to

1134
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 1: run the ball, and I think it's going to be

1135
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 1: important for them to establish the run game if they're

1136
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 1: going to have success offensively, you know, protect Sam Darnold,

1137
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 1: get that running game with Levion Bell and Frank Gore

1138
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, it's going to be exciting for

1139
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 1: them and they're looking forward to to establishing themselves as

1140
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 1: a unit. How will Leon Bell be different in his

1141
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 1: second year than he wasn't his first for the Jets? Well,

1142
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 1: you know, I think with Levion, you know, it's uh,

1143
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:34,640
Speaker 1: They're going to open up the offense for him a

1144
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 1: little bit. They're gonna put him in the pass game,

1145
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 1: you know, let him catch the ball. He's one of

1146
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 1: the best pass catching running backs that you know for

1147
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. Obviously last year he took

1148
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 1: a couple of steps back, but I think they're going

1149
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 1: to get involved him in the pass game. I think

1150
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 1: with his offensive line, the big physical group, they want

1151
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 1: to establish the run. They're going to commit to him.

1152
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 1: And you know, it's it's tough as a running back.

1153
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 1: You know, when you get the ball and you're getting

1154
00:59:57,880 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 1: attacked as soon as you touch the ball, you know,

1155
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 1: it's hard to get your feet moving, it's hard to

1156
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,800
Speaker 1: show your talents. And I think that Lebon he fought

1157
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 1: hard all last year. He had a great attitude, you know,

1158
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 1: and he's really a true pro. So I think that

1159
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 1: he's going to have a special year this year and

1160
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:14,440
Speaker 1: it's going to be one that the Jets fans are

1161
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 1: excited about. Special teams question for you here, Eric, we

1162
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 1: saw a kicking competition there. Obviously, Sam Ficken won it

1163
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 1: at the place kickers job and held on to the job.

1164
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 1: That he had last year towards the end of the season,

1165
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:29,720
Speaker 1: and they draft a punter in the sixth round in

1166
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 1: Braden Man, and you know, all indications are he's been

1167
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 1: performing admirably. You know, this was a kicking game that

1168
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 1: was not pretty at the beginning of the season last year.

1169
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 1: Do they feel they have this this problem solved now

1170
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: going forward into twenty twenty. Yes, they're They're very confident

1171
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 1: in their kicking gaming and the punting game. I mean,

1172
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 1: this is one of the best special team groups in

1173
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 1: the NFL. Last year. You know, they did a great

1174
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 1: job in coverage, a great job in the return game.

1175
01:00:57,400 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 1: And I think that just having that that that's solid,

1176
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 1: kicking that solid. You know that last year it was

1177
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:06,800
Speaker 1: rough and it was it was kind of a circus

1178
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:08,439
Speaker 1: here for a while. But I think that they're really

1179
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 1: excited about having some consistency and moving forward with these guys.

1180
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 1: What has Greg Williams, offensive coordinator said about the group

1181
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 1: he has there and his overall feelings about him plus

1182
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:20,600
Speaker 1: what he thinks they're good at. If you know, what

1183
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:22,200
Speaker 1: are their strengths, what are the weakness What does he

1184
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 1: divulge if anything to the media. Well, you know, he's

1185
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:28,960
Speaker 1: really excited about this group, you know, you know, particularly

1186
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 1: when you look up front with Steve McClinton. Quinton Williams

1187
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 1: has really had a transformation this offseason. The big stories

1188
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 1: have been how he know, he's he's eight better, He's

1189
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 1: you know, had a better look at his diet, He's

1190
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 1: worked harder, he's changed the shape of his body. He's

1191
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 1: in you know, better physical shape. And I think that

1192
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 1: they're all expecting great things out of Quinton. Uh. You know,

1193
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:50,360
Speaker 1: Henry Anderson obviously a guy who they signed to an

1194
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:53,680
Speaker 1: extension and um and they're really looking for big things

1195
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 1: out of that front. You know. Obviously, when you look

1196
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 1: at the linebacking crew, C J. Mosley is a guy

1197
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 1: who they were disappointed, you know that opted out, but

1198
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 1: at the same time you understand why he did so.

1199
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 1: Aby Williamson Neville Hewitt is a guy who gained a

1200
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 1: lot of reps last year and had a phenomenal year.

1201
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:12,280
Speaker 1: Blake Cashman has had a great camp. So I think

1202
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 1: they're really excited about the whole of this defense. You know,

1203
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: when you look at the safety position, Ashton Davis is

1204
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 1: a guy who brings a lot of versatility and Greg

1205
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:22,200
Speaker 1: Williams has really really pumped up about him. You know,

1206
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 1: he's a guy who covered in the nickel, he played corner,

1207
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 1: he can play safety. He's been very disruptive in training

1208
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 1: camps so far. So and they're also looking forward to

1209
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:32,800
Speaker 1: Marcus May. You know, Marcus May is a guy who

1210
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 1: who's played free safety his first two years. They're gonna

1211
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 1: move him around a little bit. They're gonna put him

1212
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 1: in the box and he's gonna kind of replace a

1213
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:41,480
Speaker 1: lot of what Jamal Adams did and they think that

1214
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 1: he's very capable of having a lot of success in

1215
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 1: that position as well. One other guy that I wanted

1216
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:49,280
Speaker 1: to ask you about is someone who's kind of flown

1217
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:51,760
Speaker 1: under the radar. When you have people like Levion Bell

1218
01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 1: and Frank Gore in the offensive backfield, it's very easy

1219
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 1: for a rookie like LaMichael p Ryan to get to

1220
01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 1: be a virtual unknown, shall we say. I know he's

1221
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 1: coming off an ankle injury, but all indications are Adam

1222
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 1: Gase is gonna go with whoever the hot hand is

1223
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 1: on a given Sunday. Now more often than not, I

1224
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:10,919
Speaker 1: think everybody's expecting that to be Bell. But what does

1225
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 1: p Ryan give to this offensive backfield that maybe Bell

1226
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:19,520
Speaker 1: and Gore cannot provide. Well. You know, I think p

1227
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 1: Ryan is a very physical running back. He's shifty, he

1228
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 1: brings a ton of energy when he's in the ball game.

1229
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:28,040
Speaker 1: You know, I think that, you know, when you talk

1230
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:30,440
Speaker 1: about Levon Bell, you talk about Frank Gore, these are

1231
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 1: guys who are great and pass pro. You know, obviously

1232
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 1: they're great receiving running backs, They're they're shifty. P Ryan

1233
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:39,640
Speaker 1: is a little more physical I think of the three,

1234
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 1: and he's going to bring a different dynamic when he's playing.

1235
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be nice to see the Jets hopefully

1236
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 1: establish some type of running game this season, you know,

1237
01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 1: after you know, Levon Bell having three point two yards

1238
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:52,520
Speaker 1: per carry last year kind of embarrassing, you know, and

1239
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 1: when you think about them adding something to the run

1240
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 1: game that makes Sam Darnold's job much easier, you can

1241
01:03:57,560 --> 01:04:00,120
Speaker 1: really see the potential of him as a quarterback and

1242
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:02,880
Speaker 1: see his development. So, you know, establishing that run game,

1243
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:05,680
Speaker 1: getting p Ryan, Frank Gore, le Beon Bell going, I

1244
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 1: think it's going to be a priority for the Jets.

1245
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 1: We heard general manager Joe Douglas talk this week about

1246
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 1: how inside the room, inside the locker room, and inside

1247
01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 1: the building. The Jet players and coaches aren't really very

1248
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 1: happy about the low expectations the national media is placed

1249
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 1: on them. And you know, they've they've counted them out,

1250
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 1: They've counted them down. They they've looked at all the

1251
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:27,880
Speaker 1: subtractions from the in the opt outs and the trades

1252
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 1: and the five new offensive lineman. You go down the list,

1253
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 1: and he said, Joe Douglas said something I have been

1254
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:37,880
Speaker 1: a part of on some of the teams I was

1255
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:39,840
Speaker 1: on when during my playing guests, both in college and

1256
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:42,560
Speaker 1: in the pros, you get a chip on your shoulder

1257
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 1: about it. Since that's where these Jet players are. It's like,

1258
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:48,880
Speaker 1: if you can go ahead and count us out, just

1259
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:50,760
Speaker 1: watch us. I kind of feel like they can gain

1260
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:55,800
Speaker 1: a lot of motivation by the lack of respect they're

1261
01:04:55,800 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 1: getting in the national media. Absolutely, and I think that Steve,

1262
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:03,480
Speaker 1: you know that everyone likes to be the underdog. Everyone

1263
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:05,800
Speaker 1: likes to be the person that's counted out. You know,

1264
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:07,560
Speaker 1: in that way, it kind of bands you together as

1265
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 1: a group. You know, us against the world. You know

1266
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:12,280
Speaker 1: no one but us, believe no one in this locker room,

1267
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:14,280
Speaker 1: you know, no one outside this locker room believes we

1268
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:16,880
Speaker 1: can win, and I think that everyone likes to play

1269
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:18,440
Speaker 1: that role. I mean, you've seen it with the Patriots,

1270
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:20,520
Speaker 1: you see it with every team. You know, they're in

1271
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:23,200
Speaker 1: these situations and they want to be the underdog. But

1272
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 1: I truly think that they have been overlooked. You know,

1273
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:27,760
Speaker 1: the Jets. You know, for all the all the players

1274
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 1: that they have, they're they're really a no name group

1275
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 1: offensively besides Levion Bell and Sam Darnold. But I think

1276
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 1: they have a ton of talent. I think they have.

1277
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:38,440
Speaker 1: They're a team that's young, and you're gonna see the

1278
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:41,280
Speaker 1: younger guys step out of the shadows and turn into

1279
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 1: some playmakers this season. So they're excited about that. But

1280
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 1: definitely you are going to come out with the chip

1281
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 1: on their shoulder. All right, Eric Listen, I think you've

1282
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:50,600
Speaker 1: covered the gamut for us in terms of bringing us

1283
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 1: up to speed on the Jets. So thank you very

1284
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 1: much for the time. It's great to have you on

1285
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:56,000
Speaker 1: the show, and hopefully we can talk to you down

1286
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 1: the line, maybe for the rematch later on in the season.

1287
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 1: I look forward to it and uh glad there's some football. Yeah,

1288
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 1: thank you guys for having me. I really appreciate it.

1289
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:08,880
Speaker 1: Thank you, Eric for the time. Eric Coleman, Jets pregame

1290
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 1: analyst and former safety um giving us the breakdown on

1291
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 1: the Jets. As we are just three days away from

1292
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:19,920
Speaker 1: kickoff at Bill Stadium at one pm, we get a

1293
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:23,800
Speaker 1: little pick me up tonight. Well, yes, you kind of

1294
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 1: get juiced up tonight and you get to think a

1295
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:28,919
Speaker 1: little bit more about kind of what Sunday is gonna

1296
01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:31,240
Speaker 1: look like. You know. I think what you were talking

1297
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 1: about there with Eric, though, is a real thing that

1298
01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:35,560
Speaker 1: the that the Bills have to be mindful of. These

1299
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:38,920
Speaker 1: these Jets may come in as an ordinary bunch because

1300
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:42,520
Speaker 1: everybody thinks they're gonna stink out the joint in twenty twenty.

1301
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:47,920
Speaker 1: And that's a very motivating thing for people any You know,

1302
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:51,840
Speaker 1: once you start attacking our ability as players, you know,

1303
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:56,000
Speaker 1: there's a pride factor there that comes out and and

1304
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:59,400
Speaker 1: manifest itself from top to bottom on the roster. I

1305
01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 1: gotta think that this scenario, the way this opening weekend

1306
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 1: is going to play out. I don't think there's any

1307
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:07,960
Speaker 1: question that the visiting teams on the road, the Jets

1308
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:11,080
Speaker 1: in this case in the Buffalo, I think that they

1309
01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:15,440
Speaker 1: decidedly have at least less of a disadvantage of opening

1310
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:18,720
Speaker 1: up the season on the road in front of the

1311
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 1: you know, the mafia here in Buffalo where when everything

1312
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:24,440
Speaker 1: they bring to it, I mean the you know, you're

1313
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:26,360
Speaker 1: walking down that tunnel to come in the stadium and

1314
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:29,480
Speaker 1: there's you know, fans just leaning over, froth and at

1315
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:33,840
Speaker 1: the literally frothing at the mouth, just you know, all

1316
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:36,360
Speaker 1: over you as players, and the crowd is hard, and

1317
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 1: you just you kind of you kind of get into

1318
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 1: this hunch shoulder thing like I gotta weather through this.

1319
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play hard. Let's go. We gotta get through this,

1320
01:07:42,560 --> 01:07:45,480
Speaker 1: rather than walking out with nobody in the stands. Yeah,

1321
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:47,280
Speaker 1: and he's walking out and saying, let's let's go, let's

1322
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:51,160
Speaker 1: go play. And I think it's a decidedly I'm not

1323
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 1: saying it's an advantage, but I'm saying that a disadvantage

1324
01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:56,680
Speaker 1: has been wiped off the board for visiting teams in

1325
01:07:56,720 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 1: the NFL in this opening weekend. And I think with that,

1326
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:01,200
Speaker 1: coupled with the fact that the Jets are gonna come

1327
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:05,560
Speaker 1: in here thinking, man, we watch this kind of thing,

1328
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:08,640
Speaker 1: and I think that's a really dangerous team to face

1329
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:12,720
Speaker 1: even though the Bills are on paper a better team,

1330
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 1: they are in a better place than they've been in

1331
01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:20,160
Speaker 1: other years, all of that stuff. Despite all that, you're

1332
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:24,000
Speaker 1: playing a Jet team that is gonna be not so

1333
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:27,160
Speaker 1: much at a disadvantage because of the home crowd and

1334
01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 1: highly motivated and completely unknown, unscouted, unlooked at by the Bills.

1335
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:42,840
Speaker 1: So it's a it is a dangerous weekend for a

1336
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:45,200
Speaker 1: Bills team that you know, if if you have any

1337
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:46,880
Speaker 1: idea that you're gonna come in here and just roll

1338
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:49,120
Speaker 1: it out there and win, it ain't gonna happen. Yea.

1339
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:51,240
Speaker 1: The Jets are gonna come in and they're gonna give

1340
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:54,040
Speaker 1: you a good punch in a mouth. I'm intrigued by this.

1341
01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 1: LaMichael p Ryan, the rookie fourth round pick running back.

1342
01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:02,519
Speaker 1: He's coming off an ankle injury, but I think he's

1343
01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:05,840
Speaker 1: eventually going to unseat Frank Gore as the backup running

1344
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:10,879
Speaker 1: back to Levion Bell, provided he can show an ability

1345
01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 1: and pass protection because he's the same guy as Frank Gore.

1346
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:17,160
Speaker 1: He's built low to the ground, he's a fall forward runner,

1347
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:20,200
Speaker 1: and I understand he's got a lot of responsibilities as

1348
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:22,280
Speaker 1: a rookie. He's missed a lot of time practice, reps

1349
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:24,519
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. But come the second half of

1350
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 1: the season, it wouldn't shock me because all indications from

1351
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:31,839
Speaker 1: the media down there as he is turning heads in practice,

1352
01:09:32,360 --> 01:09:33,960
Speaker 1: and I think it may only be a matter of

1353
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:38,040
Speaker 1: time before he kind of pushes Gore for some snaps

1354
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:40,639
Speaker 1: here and there. Two or three years ago, when Adam

1355
01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:42,760
Speaker 1: Gase was the head coach of the Miami Dolphins, I

1356
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:46,320
Speaker 1: was a sideline reporter for the television broadcast. I talked

1357
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 1: to Adam Gase casually about what's going on about Frank Gore.

1358
01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:53,479
Speaker 1: And Frank Gore was old then, right, and he said,

1359
01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:56,160
Speaker 1: he goes. I knew Frank could play. I'd had him

1360
01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:58,160
Speaker 1: in I can't remember he'd had a running with him

1361
01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 1: when he's in San Francisco. Perhaps far back as that goes,

1362
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:03,800
Speaker 1: he goes I brought I didn't bring Frank Gore in

1363
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:06,160
Speaker 1: here to carry the ball and be the lead. I

1364
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:08,479
Speaker 1: brought him in here to show our guys how to

1365
01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:11,679
Speaker 1: be pros. I brought him in to show them how

1366
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:16,000
Speaker 1: an all time great prepares like that. I brought him

1367
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:18,840
Speaker 1: in to be an example of how to do it.

1368
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:23,719
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking years last year. Three years later, Adam

1369
01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:25,800
Speaker 1: Gase did the exact same thing with him. They brought

1370
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 1: him in with Levion Bell, an all time grade who

1371
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 1: has automatic respect in the locker room, is a tremendous guy.

1372
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:36,439
Speaker 1: And you got a guy like p Ryan and Levion

1373
01:10:36,520 --> 01:10:39,040
Speaker 1: Bell watching this guy sixteen years in the league that

1374
01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:43,720
Speaker 1: they're not expecting Frank Gore to be a backup in

1375
01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 1: that he gets the second most rushes. He's there to

1376
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:47,920
Speaker 1: show him to get these guys on the field. And

1377
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if p Ryan is the guy

1378
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:52,360
Speaker 1: that carries the ball even on opening Day, ahead of

1379
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:55,559
Speaker 1: Frank Gore. Yeah, but Frank Gore is there as an example,

1380
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 1: not as a producer. We're down in Spartanburg, South Carolina

1381
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 1: last year for the joint practices between the Panthers and

1382
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:03,599
Speaker 1: the Bills, and Frank's obviously on the roster at that time,

1383
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:06,880
Speaker 1: and they just had a two and a half hour

1384
01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:14,200
Speaker 1: practice mid afternoon on like Wednesday or Thursday whenever, it

1385
01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:20,360
Speaker 1: was like one hundred and ten on the field. The

1386
01:11:20,520 --> 01:11:24,080
Speaker 1: next morning, at six thirty, I go to the hotel

1387
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:28,960
Speaker 1: workout room just to get my workout. In six thirty,

1388
01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:34,519
Speaker 1: Gore is on the freaking stepper, just dripping, and I just,

1389
01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:36,240
Speaker 1: you know, I'm walking behind him. I just kind of

1390
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:38,360
Speaker 1: take a peek at the time. He's been on it

1391
01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:43,840
Speaker 1: for forty eight minutes. And I'm gonna say this, I

1392
01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:46,920
Speaker 1: only went on whatever I was doing for about thirty minutes.

1393
01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:50,599
Speaker 1: He only finished five minutes before me. So he probably

1394
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:52,840
Speaker 1: put in a good seventy five minutes on that thing.

1395
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:55,479
Speaker 1: And he was cranking it. And that's after a two

1396
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:57,720
Speaker 1: and a half hour practice the day before, and he

1397
01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:01,160
Speaker 1: was and he had a practice again that afternoon. Say this, um,

1398
01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:06,200
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm not trying to be you know, sarcastic

1399
01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:12,200
Speaker 1: or make fun or or make say anything about mental health.

1400
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 1: I will say this though, Guys like Frank Gore, guys

1401
01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:20,200
Speaker 1: like Jerry Rice, Guys like Bruce Smith, Jim Kelly Thuram

1402
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:23,880
Speaker 1: and Tom All, this Hall of Fame, James Lofton uh

1403
01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:26,760
Speaker 1: and great guys. I don't know any other way. They

1404
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:33,920
Speaker 1: they're different. They have something in them that makes them different.

1405
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:36,639
Speaker 1: And you can you can roll your eyes at it,

1406
01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 1: you can make fun of the mouth was kind of

1407
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:41,400
Speaker 1: hanging open, right, I'm like, what the hell is this

1408
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:43,640
Speaker 1: guy doing here? You can make fun of it. You

1409
01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:46,080
Speaker 1: can look side was as ah, yeah and say and

1410
01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:48,320
Speaker 1: you can think that it's it's just one dealer. They're

1411
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:53,639
Speaker 1: just doing. They are different. They don't have an off switch.

1412
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:55,920
Speaker 1: And not only do they not have an off switch,

1413
01:12:56,000 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 1: there's something in them that they are not comfortable unless

1414
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:05,240
Speaker 1: they're doing something that makes them better on the football field.

1415
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:08,120
Speaker 1: They got it. They got this thing about them that

1416
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:10,519
Speaker 1: makes them different. And you can you can I'm only

1417
01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:13,960
Speaker 1: half kidding there in some respects there there's something in

1418
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:18,880
Speaker 1: their personality that is not right. You know what I mean,

1419
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:22,639
Speaker 1: they're off. They're not normal, and I don't mean normal,

1420
01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:27,519
Speaker 1: subnom maybe super normal, you know, whereas they they're incredibly motivated.

1421
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:29,559
Speaker 1: There's and there's it's not just those are the athletes

1422
01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 1: that I'm talking about. There's obviously people. There's engineers, there's

1423
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:36,160
Speaker 1: astral physicists, there's researchers, there's you know, you know, stop

1424
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:38,559
Speaker 1: name your profession, name your profession. There's those people that

1425
01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 1: are driven by something that nobody else cares about and

1426
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:43,559
Speaker 1: it drives them to a place where nobody else can get.

1427
01:13:44,360 --> 01:13:47,200
Speaker 1: That's what guys like Frank Gore, like Jerry Rice, like

1428
01:13:47,320 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 1: Thurman and Jim and Bruce and those guys are different.

1429
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:54,400
Speaker 1: And Frank Gore is one of those guys. You can

1430
01:13:55,160 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 1: say it was never that great, but I'll tell you

1431
01:13:57,200 --> 01:14:00,360
Speaker 1: what it's got over fourteen thousand rushing yard. I know

1432
01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:02,800
Speaker 1: it's been over a long career. But name another name

1433
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:07,160
Speaker 1: another running back that is playing in a sixteen year career. Yeah,

1434
01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:12,080
Speaker 1: I mean shortly, Walter Payton, Emmett Smith. I mean, those

1435
01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:13,960
Speaker 1: are probably the only guys that have played that long.

1436
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:16,280
Speaker 1: They close, they didn't play that long. Close to that long.

1437
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:18,559
Speaker 1: They didn't play that long. I mean, but that's just it.

1438
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:24,639
Speaker 1: It that And I've said it before, longevity is the

1439
01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:30,320
Speaker 1: ultimate casement. It's the ultimate card that you play for

1440
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:33,960
Speaker 1: everybody else who comes up in the conversation, you know,

1441
01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:37,559
Speaker 1: locker rooms and conversations. Whatever, did you play sixteen years?

1442
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:42,519
Speaker 1: Sixteen years at running back? Yeah, it's the other part, Yeah,

1443
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:46,000
Speaker 1: not this ain't I ain't a long snapper. Yeah, you know,

1444
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:48,800
Speaker 1: I'm not a kicker. I'm not Morton Anderson or Jan

1445
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:52,439
Speaker 1: Stenerude or George Blanda. I'm taking a beat in every week.

1446
01:14:52,760 --> 01:14:57,760
Speaker 1: I'm I got the ball. Yeah, that right there is

1447
01:14:57,800 --> 01:15:03,880
Speaker 1: the ultimate win argument in getting respect and doing all

1448
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:07,720
Speaker 1: that players across the ages. That's what they tipped their

1449
01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:09,800
Speaker 1: hat to as longevity. All right, we gotta take a break.

1450
01:15:09,800 --> 01:15:12,599
Speaker 1: When we return, we will hear from our colleague Mandy

1451

1476
01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:51,519
Speaker 1: I've already told I've six thousand. I've already told my wife, Like,

1477
01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:55,160
Speaker 1: when I'm retired, get used to shorts and T shirts

1478
01:16:55,160 --> 01:16:58,120
Speaker 1: because and a lot of sweatpants and the colder weather.

1479
01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:01,640
Speaker 1: Because I'm not gonna be warned, but the repertoire is

1480
01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 1: not going to be that deep. You know, your wardrobe

1481
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:06,160
Speaker 1: is going to be limited. Not a lot of zippers.

1482
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:09,559
Speaker 1: What about right? What about belt? Do you care if

1483
01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:11,800
Speaker 1: the T shirt matches the shorts or anything like that.

1484
01:17:11,880 --> 01:17:16,040
Speaker 1: I do try to coordinate somewhat. I don't want to clash.

1485
01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:17,960
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not wearing red and orange, you know

1486
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:20,240
Speaker 1: what I mean. Just kind of was asking you're not

1487
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:24,439
Speaker 1: creamsicle right. I'm not doing the Tampa Bay Bucks new

1488
01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:27,200
Speaker 1: color scheme for sure, But we do want to get

1489
01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:30,639
Speaker 1: to a little more Jets talk for you. And here

1490
01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:33,679
Speaker 1: to do that for us is our colleague Maddie Glab

1491
01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:36,680
Speaker 1: who caught up with the Jets reporter Olivia Landis to

1492
01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:39,200
Speaker 1: get the lowdown on just how these Jets are looking

1493
01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:41,559
Speaker 1: coming out of their training camp period. So let's turn

1494
01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:45,800
Speaker 1: it over to Maddy right now. Olivia, thanks for the time.

1495
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:49,320
Speaker 1: Week one is here. I cannot believe it. Bills at

1496
01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:52,040
Speaker 1: home against the Jets. It's the fourteenth time these two

1497
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:54,640
Speaker 1: have faced each other in a season opener. It's the

1498
01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:59,320
Speaker 1: most since nineteen sixty quite a few times. But this

1499
01:17:59,439 --> 01:18:02,880
Speaker 1: Jets Bills matchup has so many storylines, and there's quite

1500
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:05,439
Speaker 1: a few Jets storylines also that came out of camp.

1501
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:09,200
Speaker 1: You know Sam Darnold in year three, you add Denzel Mims.

1502
01:18:09,240 --> 01:18:12,280
Speaker 1: You guys have McKay Beckton in your eyes. What is

1503
01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:17,240
Speaker 1: the biggest storyline that came out of Jets training camp? Well, Maddie,

1504
01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:19,120
Speaker 1: first of all, good morning, thank you guys so much

1505
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:22,240
Speaker 1: for having me. I would say the biggest storyline that

1506
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:25,679
Speaker 1: came right before training camp that really rocked the football

1507
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:28,760
Speaker 1: world was when the Jets traded safety Jamal Adams all

1508
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:31,479
Speaker 1: the way out to the Seattle Seahawks, one of the

1509
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:33,919
Speaker 1: top safeties in the league, one of the best defensive

1510
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:37,240
Speaker 1: players on the Jets defense. So I think that first

1511
01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:39,840
Speaker 1: and foremost kind of rocked the Jets a little bit.

1512
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:42,920
Speaker 1: That was the biggest storyline heading into training camp. But

1513
01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:45,200
Speaker 1: when you think about training camp as a whole, a

1514
01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:47,840
Speaker 1: lot of stories came out with the Jets. They were

1515
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:51,519
Speaker 1: very thin at wide receiver during training camp because there

1516
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:54,200
Speaker 1: were a lot of injuries. However, they were getting a

1517
01:18:54,240 --> 01:18:56,559
Speaker 1: lot of those players back this last week, so that

1518
01:18:56,720 --> 01:18:58,880
Speaker 1: was a really big story. How are the Jets going

1519
01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:01,200
Speaker 1: to adjust when they had a lot of injuries at

1520
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:04,160
Speaker 1: wide receivers. So some of those wide receivers are coming

1521
01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:07,479
Speaker 1: back this past week. We saw you mentioned Denzel Mims.

1522
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 1: He made it back into team practices recently this week.

1523
01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:14,880
Speaker 1: But I think another big storyline, Maddie was the rebuild

1524
01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:18,759
Speaker 1: of the offensive line. Four new starters along the offensive line,

1525
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:22,160
Speaker 1: five faces that you didn't really see too much, but

1526
01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:25,280
Speaker 1: throughout training camp that was one of the biggest stories

1527
01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:28,880
Speaker 1: because GM Joe Douglas heading into this season said one

1528
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:30,960
Speaker 1: of the main things he wanted to work on was

1529
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:33,920
Speaker 1: rebuilding an offensive line for Sam Donald, and he did

1530
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:36,840
Speaker 1: just that. Yeah, when you look at that offensive line,

1531
01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:39,599
Speaker 1: so many new faces, such a rebuild. They went into

1532
01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:42,320
Speaker 1: the off season adding to the offensive line in free

1533
01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:45,519
Speaker 1: agency you got center Connor McGovern and then you added

1534
01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:48,800
Speaker 1: with the eleventh pick overall, mckaybecktam that mountain of a

1535
01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:51,760
Speaker 1: man six seven three or sixty four pounds. I can't

1536
01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:55,120
Speaker 1: believe it. What are the expectations for this offensive line?

1537
01:19:55,160 --> 01:19:58,120
Speaker 1: Because last year Sam Donald didn't get too much protection.

1538
01:19:58,439 --> 01:20:01,320
Speaker 1: So are the expectations pretty high for this group or

1539
01:20:01,680 --> 01:20:03,719
Speaker 1: is there an understanding it's going to take a couple

1540
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:07,599
Speaker 1: years for them to truly mesh together. I think it's

1541
01:20:07,640 --> 01:20:10,240
Speaker 1: a mix of both, Maddie. I think, for sure, there

1542
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:13,280
Speaker 1: are very high expectations, as there should be when you're

1543
01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:16,040
Speaker 1: playing at the level of the NFL. There should be

1544
01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:20,080
Speaker 1: high expectations. However, I do think that coaches and everybody

1545
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:22,960
Speaker 1: understand it's going to take a little while for this

1546
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:27,000
Speaker 1: group of guys in particular to build some chemistry, especially

1547
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:29,799
Speaker 1: being on the offensive line. It's such an incredibly important

1548
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:33,080
Speaker 1: position to protect the quarterback, and a young quarterback at

1549
01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:35,360
Speaker 1: that in Sam Darnold. So I think the fact that

1550
01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:38,960
Speaker 1: there are four new faces along the offensive line, it's

1551
01:20:38,960 --> 01:20:41,240
Speaker 1: going to take a little while to build that chemistry.

1552
01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:45,040
Speaker 1: But Adam Gaze, Joe Douglas, they both seem very confident

1553
01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:48,200
Speaker 1: that this group in particular has done the work and

1554
01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:50,599
Speaker 1: put in the work to build that chemistry. They're very

1555
01:20:50,600 --> 01:20:53,280
Speaker 1: confident that come Week one, when they face the Bills,

1556
01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:55,759
Speaker 1: you're going to see some of that chemistry on the field.

1557
01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:58,400
Speaker 1: And it's funny that you said, you know, Mackay Beckton

1558
01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:01,480
Speaker 1: a mountain of a man, because one of his famous

1559
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:04,920
Speaker 1: nicknames is Mount Beckton. So a very large human being

1560
01:21:05,479 --> 01:21:08,479
Speaker 1: on the offensive line, which is exactly what the offensive

1561
01:21:08,479 --> 01:21:12,200
Speaker 1: line needed. So the Jets drafted Denzelman's, the wide receiver

1562
01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:15,000
Speaker 1: out of Baylor, in the second round of the twenty

1563
01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:17,200
Speaker 1: twenty draft. He's six three, two hundred and seven, a

1564
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:19,840
Speaker 1: bigger wide receiver. He was held out of most of

1565
01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 1: training camp with a hamstring injury. You did say he

1566
01:21:22,360 --> 01:21:24,800
Speaker 1: made it back to practices this week. What are the

1567
01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:27,679
Speaker 1: expectations put on him? I know as a rookie wide

1568
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:30,080
Speaker 1: receiver and with the offseason that we've had it, it's

1569
01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:32,880
Speaker 1: tough to jump into a playbook and truly learn an offense,

1570
01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:37,439
Speaker 1: especially from a wide receiver perspective, with all the routes,

1571
01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:40,080
Speaker 1: you have to learn the entire playbook. So is he

1572
01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:42,800
Speaker 1: going to be thrown into this offense right away or

1573
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:45,240
Speaker 1: do you see a small workload for him to start.

1574
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:49,800
Speaker 1: It's tough to say exactly if he's going to be

1575
01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:52,360
Speaker 1: thrown into the game in week one, but the Jets

1576
01:21:52,400 --> 01:21:55,360
Speaker 1: did release an unofficial depth chart and he's right there

1577
01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:58,720
Speaker 1: at number two, right behind wide receiver Breshad Pairman. Like

1578
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:01,840
Speaker 1: you already said, he did get in some teamwork back

1579
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:04,680
Speaker 1: in this past week. He missed all of training camp

1580
01:22:04,760 --> 01:22:08,040
Speaker 1: due to that hamstring injury, and it's hamstrings. That's a

1581
01:22:08,080 --> 01:22:11,000
Speaker 1: tough injury to come back from because each player, each

1582
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:13,760
Speaker 1: individual heals at a different rate. So it's not one

1583
01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:16,000
Speaker 1: that you can push, which is what head coach Adam

1584
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:18,040
Speaker 1: Gays said all of training camp. He didn't want to

1585
01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:20,800
Speaker 1: push him. One thing that's really interesting that Adam Gays

1586
01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:24,280
Speaker 1: did mention about Denzel Mims is he said being a rookie,

1587
01:22:24,479 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 1: one of the toughest parts is learning that playbook. Like

1588
01:22:27,520 --> 01:22:30,200
Speaker 1: you said, that's one of the hardest parts when transitioning

1589
01:22:30,240 --> 01:22:34,360
Speaker 1: from college football into the NFL is learning an offensive scheme,

1590
01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:38,280
Speaker 1: memorizing a playbook, trying to understand the language. So I

1591
01:22:38,280 --> 01:22:41,439
Speaker 1: think he is going to have to ease him. They

1592
01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:43,679
Speaker 1: are going to have to ease him physically back into

1593
01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:46,160
Speaker 1: the game. But he's been taking team reps all week.

1594
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:48,599
Speaker 1: He was integrated back into it, so I think you

1595
01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:51,400
Speaker 1: will see some of him. However, it's going to take

1596
01:22:51,439 --> 01:22:54,519
Speaker 1: time for a rookie to be able to comprehend an

1597
01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:58,280
Speaker 1: entire new playbook, but he is ready. He's healthy, so

1598
01:22:58,360 --> 01:22:59,840
Speaker 1: I think we will be seeing him on the field.

1599
01:23:00,160 --> 01:23:03,400
Speaker 1: Turdavious White said that the job to cover Denzel Mimbs

1600
01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:05,320
Speaker 1: is not going to be a one man show. He said,

1601
01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:07,920
Speaker 1: it's going to be covering him by committee because he

1602
01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:09,960
Speaker 1: is just that good from the tape he's seen on

1603
01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:12,479
Speaker 1: him in Baylor. Let's switch to the defensive side of

1604
01:23:12,520 --> 01:23:16,559
Speaker 1: the ball for the Jets. No Jamal Adams, no c J. Mosley.

1605
01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:19,879
Speaker 1: The Bills have a shiny new weapon in Stefan Diggs.

1606
01:23:20,360 --> 01:23:23,519
Speaker 1: We know Greg Williams offense or defense, and just how

1607
01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:26,400
Speaker 1: tough he is with what he throws at opposing offenses

1608
01:23:26,479 --> 01:23:29,320
Speaker 1: things they're not expecting to see. So what is the

1609
01:23:29,400 --> 01:23:34,000
Speaker 1: game plan to stop Stefon Diggs On Sunday, Mattie, You

1610
01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:36,840
Speaker 1: hit the nail right on the head. Defensive coordinator Greg

1611
01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:41,760
Speaker 1: Williams is always almost bragging about how many defensive packages

1612
01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:44,320
Speaker 1: he had. He said it in a press conference earlier

1613
01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:48,040
Speaker 1: this year. He said, I have over forty defensive packages.

1614
01:23:48,439 --> 01:23:51,679
Speaker 1: And that's something very unique about Greg Williams. I think,

1615
01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:56,080
Speaker 1: especially when the Jets are facing a team with very

1616
01:23:56,080 --> 01:23:59,680
Speaker 1: talented wide receivers like Stefan Diggs, Greg Williams is going

1617
01:23:59,720 --> 01:24:02,120
Speaker 1: to throw a lot at the Bill's offense. He's going

1618
01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:05,280
Speaker 1: to always it always comes down to trying to confuse

1619
01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:08,680
Speaker 1: the defense, trying to throw rushing packages out there to

1620
01:24:08,800 --> 01:24:11,200
Speaker 1: make it easier on the cornerbacks who do have to

1621
01:24:11,240 --> 01:24:15,600
Speaker 1: cover Stefon Diggs. So I think that really Greg Williams

1622
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:18,320
Speaker 1: is unpredictable. You're not going to be able to know

1623
01:24:18,360 --> 01:24:20,840
Speaker 1: what he's going to throw because he has such a

1624
01:24:20,840 --> 01:24:26,559
Speaker 1: wide variety a different defensive packages that he's trying to

1625
01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:31,200
Speaker 1: constantly use his defense to his player's best abilities. So

1626
01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:33,719
Speaker 1: whether or not they're going to have the cornerbacks man

1627
01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:35,640
Speaker 1: to man on Stefan Diggs, whether it's going to be

1628
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:38,280
Speaker 1: a zone, you can be very confident that Greg Williams

1629
01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:39,720
Speaker 1: is going to throw a lot of different things out

1630
01:24:39,720 --> 01:24:42,960
Speaker 1: there on Sunday. Jets quarterback Sam Darnold probably didn't have

1631
01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:46,599
Speaker 1: the season he wanted last year getting Mono, it seems

1632
01:24:46,600 --> 01:24:49,240
Speaker 1: like he didn't really get into a swing of things

1633
01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:52,400
Speaker 1: until later in the seasons. The Jets did win six

1634
01:24:52,479 --> 01:24:54,840
Speaker 1: of the eight last games to finish out the twenty

1635
01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:58,160
Speaker 1: nineteen season, but heading into his third year as a quarterback,

1636
01:24:58,400 --> 01:25:01,599
Speaker 1: plenty of expectations put on him as well as Josh Allen.

1637
01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:04,640
Speaker 1: You can really truly find out who a quarterback is

1638
01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:08,320
Speaker 1: in their third season. So what are the expectations put

1639
01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:13,240
Speaker 1: on Sam Darnald going into this year. It's so interesting

1640
01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:17,040
Speaker 1: because quarterback Sam Donald and quarterback Josh Allen, they're friends

1641
01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:19,320
Speaker 1: in the off season. We see them working out together

1642
01:25:19,360 --> 01:25:22,080
Speaker 1: in the off season. But just this week, Sam Donald

1643
01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:24,160
Speaker 1: did say when it comes to the field, there's no

1644
01:25:24,240 --> 01:25:26,200
Speaker 1: friends on the field, so all of that goes out

1645
01:25:26,200 --> 01:25:29,720
Speaker 1: the window. But heading into his third year, something he

1646
01:25:29,760 --> 01:25:32,040
Speaker 1: did mention to the media that he wants to work

1647
01:25:32,080 --> 01:25:35,160
Speaker 1: on is his completion percentage. It went up from twenty

1648
01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:38,400
Speaker 1: eighteen to twenty nineteen, from fifty seven percent to almost

1649
01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:42,320
Speaker 1: sixty two percent. However, I think that even though he

1650
01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:45,240
Speaker 1: wants to work on his completion percentage, I think something

1651
01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:49,280
Speaker 1: even more important than that is getting down that interception rate.

1652
01:25:49,720 --> 01:25:53,320
Speaker 1: Last year, it's proven that Sam Donald in the second

1653
01:25:53,360 --> 01:25:56,240
Speaker 1: half of the two seasons that he's played, he's thrown

1654
01:25:56,360 --> 01:25:59,479
Speaker 1: less interceptions, and you can really just imagine that's him

1655
01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:02,200
Speaker 1: being more comfortable in an offense, being more comfortable with

1656
01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:05,040
Speaker 1: his weapons, his offensive line. So I think now that

1657
01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:08,240
Speaker 1: he's in his second season in this Adam Gase offense,

1658
01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:10,920
Speaker 1: I think that interception rate is going to go down

1659
01:26:11,200 --> 01:26:14,240
Speaker 1: a lot less. But like he already said, he wants

1660
01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:16,760
Speaker 1: to work on his completion percentage. But I also think

1661
01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:18,280
Speaker 1: that's going to be a big key this year too,

1662
01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:22,439
Speaker 1: is to get those interceptions down in the first half

1663
01:26:22,439 --> 01:26:24,479
Speaker 1: of the season, because that's when they were a little

1664
01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:28,000
Speaker 1: bit higher. Yeah. Sam Darnold threw for nineteen touchdown thirteen

1665
01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:31,320
Speaker 1: interceptions last season. All Right, we've covered all the big

1666
01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:35,040
Speaker 1: storylines in this matchup. What is an underrated storyline that

1667
01:26:35,080 --> 01:26:40,320
Speaker 1: could affect the game on Sunday underrated storyline and player.

1668
01:26:40,439 --> 01:26:43,519
Speaker 1: You guys are familiar with him, running back Frank Bore.

1669
01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:48,240
Speaker 1: He's just he's so interesting because thirty seven years old

1670
01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:51,200
Speaker 1: in his sixteenth season. You guys had him over there

1671
01:26:51,240 --> 01:26:54,000
Speaker 1: in Buffalo last year. But he was speaking to the

1672
01:26:54,040 --> 01:26:56,559
Speaker 1: media earlier this week and he was saying how he

1673
01:26:56,680 --> 01:26:59,519
Speaker 1: still has the love for the game, He's still healthy.

1674
01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:02,599
Speaker 1: He was out there during training camp and head coach

1675
01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:05,400
Speaker 1: Adam Gas was praising the fact that he's still acting

1676
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:07,720
Speaker 1: like he's a rookie. That's how excited he is to

1677
01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:10,040
Speaker 1: be out here in training camp. So I think he

1678
01:27:10,280 --> 01:27:14,080
Speaker 1: is an underrated story here that could have a positive

1679
01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:17,080
Speaker 1: effect on the game on Sunday. Because it's no secret

1680
01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:20,919
Speaker 1: that running back Levion Bell is the starting running back. However,

1681
01:27:21,080 --> 01:27:23,400
Speaker 1: frank Or has a lot to offer. Still, they're two

1682
01:27:23,479 --> 01:27:27,000
Speaker 1: totally different running backs, have two totally different styles. Leveon

1683
01:27:27,080 --> 01:27:30,599
Speaker 1: Bell's a little bit more patient, whereas Francore really hits

1684
01:27:30,600 --> 01:27:33,400
Speaker 1: the hole and head down gets it going. So I

1685
01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:37,040
Speaker 1: think that he is going to be a very positive

1686
01:27:37,040 --> 01:27:39,080
Speaker 1: part of this offense this year, and I think you

1687
01:27:39,080 --> 01:27:41,880
Speaker 1: could see that this Sunday against the Bills. Yeah, it'll

1688
01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:44,679
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how they use those two running backs,

1689
01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:47,720
Speaker 1: Leveon Bell and Frankore. We definitely used Frank or at

1690
01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:51,000
Speaker 1: least on the Bills last year in more short yardage situations.

1691
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:53,400
Speaker 1: One thing the bill Bills have going for them is

1692
01:27:53,439 --> 01:27:57,959
Speaker 1: being able to say they practiced against Frank Gore last season. Olivia,

1693
01:27:58,240 --> 01:28:01,120
Speaker 1: thank you so much for your time. Really appreciate it.

1694
01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:05,160
Speaker 1: Thank you, Maddie. All right, So that's Maddie clab with

1695
01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:08,880
Speaker 1: liv Atlantis Jets reporter, given the lowdown on what's going

1696
01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:12,720
Speaker 1: on down there, And I think this is going to

1697
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:15,800
Speaker 1: be I don't know why, it's just something in me.

1698
01:28:16,160 --> 01:28:18,720
Speaker 1: They always seem to play close games, closer games than

1699
01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:21,800
Speaker 1: people are anticipating. And everybody's down on the Jets, as

1700
01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:24,559
Speaker 1: you've mentioned, a lot of the outside observers don't think

1701
01:28:24,600 --> 01:28:26,160
Speaker 1: they're going to be much of a team this year,

1702
01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:29,400
Speaker 1: especially with the strength of schedule that both the Jets

1703
01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:33,160
Speaker 1: and the Bills and the AFCAST teams are facing. Yeah,

1704
01:28:33,160 --> 01:28:35,960
Speaker 1: they're down on the Jets, high on the Bills opening

1705
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:44,519
Speaker 1: weekend with the ultimately unknown rosters for each team. Yeah, Yeah,

1706
01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:45,920
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a close game. And

1707
01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:49,599
Speaker 1: I think I've said too. I think that they're gonna

1708
01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:50,960
Speaker 1: be a lot of games to get out of hand

1709
01:28:52,320 --> 01:28:54,840
Speaker 1: over the weekend, which I still think that's probably the case,

1710
01:28:54,880 --> 01:28:57,400
Speaker 1: and certainly everyone could doesn't look like one of them though.

1711
01:28:57,479 --> 01:29:00,880
Speaker 1: Now division games are hard to get out. Line. You

1712
01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:04,400
Speaker 1: look at a game like the Chargers against the Bengals,

1713
01:29:04,479 --> 01:29:06,800
Speaker 1: maybe that one gets out again, you know what I'm saying.

1714
01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:10,519
Speaker 1: So there's not everybody's playing a division opponent, but there

1715
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:12,920
Speaker 1: are some teams who who are playing a team that

1716
01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:17,160
Speaker 1: you talk about not knowing who or what they are. Yeah,

1717
01:29:17,520 --> 01:29:19,080
Speaker 1: all right, we've got a step aside. But when we

1718
01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:21,439
Speaker 1: come back, we'll take a look back at the tweet sheet.

1719
01:29:21,880 --> 01:29:26,200
Speaker 1: As we are asking you the Josh Allen Sam Darnold

1720
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:30,439
Speaker 1: rivalry in year three is what filling the blank for

1721
01:29:30,560 --> 01:29:33,080
Speaker 1: us at one Bills Live on Twitter or call us

1722
01:29:33,160 --> 01:29:35,759
Speaker 1: up eighth, three, five fifty back in a minute here

1723
01:29:35,960 --> 01:29:38,760
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health. This is

1724
01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:53,679
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you as

1725
01:29:53,720 --> 01:29:56,320
Speaker 1: we get back to the tweet sheet brought to you

1726
01:29:56,360 --> 01:29:59,840
Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems. As we are asking you the

1727
01:30:00,320 --> 01:30:04,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen Sam Darnold rivalry entering year three is blank

1728
01:30:05,160 --> 01:30:09,599
Speaker 1: and from Tiffany, she says Josh Allen is light years

1729
01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:11,799
Speaker 1: ahead of Sam as they head into their third season.

1730
01:30:11,840 --> 01:30:15,240
Speaker 1: The effort the organization has put into Josh's development along

1731
01:30:15,280 --> 01:30:17,160
Speaker 1: with the talent they've put around, and puts him into

1732
01:30:17,160 --> 01:30:20,280
Speaker 1: position to guide the Bills on a deep playoff run.

1733
01:30:20,360 --> 01:30:24,680
Speaker 1: So I guess her fill in the blank is the

1734
01:30:24,760 --> 01:30:28,680
Speaker 1: rivalry entering year three is what uneven? I guess she

1735
01:30:28,720 --> 01:30:30,559
Speaker 1: didn't give us a word. Yes, she didn't give us

1736
01:30:30,600 --> 01:30:35,360
Speaker 1: a word. Come on. From Nick, he says, overshadowed by

1737
01:30:35,400 --> 01:30:39,080
Speaker 1: the fact that the Jets are not good. I don't

1738
01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:41,639
Speaker 1: think Darnold is that far behind Allen at this point.

1739
01:30:41,720 --> 01:30:44,160
Speaker 1: But it's hard to call it a rivalry because the

1740
01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:46,600
Speaker 1: Bills and Jets are on two different levels. If the

1741
01:30:46,640 --> 01:30:51,240
Speaker 1: teams were both contenders, the QB rivalry would be much better.

1742
01:30:51,479 --> 01:30:53,120
Speaker 1: And I don't think there's any debating that. It's like

1743
01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:56,559
Speaker 1: you were referencing with Marino and Kelly. You know, those

1744
01:30:56,600 --> 01:30:58,800
Speaker 1: were the two teams battling for the division title every

1745
01:30:58,840 --> 01:31:01,640
Speaker 1: year during those days. If if it can get to

1746
01:31:01,720 --> 01:31:03,439
Speaker 1: that between the Jets and the Bills, well then you

1747
01:31:03,479 --> 01:31:05,519
Speaker 1: might have something with Darnold denial. The games need to

1748
01:31:05,520 --> 01:31:09,200
Speaker 1: be relevant, and up till now they really haven't been.

1749
01:31:09,240 --> 01:31:15,560
Speaker 1: In fact, last year's Week seventeen matchup was meaningless. That

1750
01:31:15,560 --> 01:31:20,160
Speaker 1: that is not the way to stoke a fierce rivalry,

1751
01:31:20,400 --> 01:31:27,800
Speaker 1: shall we say, right, Joe says, mostly because Darnold was

1752
01:31:27,800 --> 01:31:30,719
Speaker 1: supposed to be the super QB, the most pro ready,

1753
01:31:30,840 --> 01:31:33,120
Speaker 1: and Alan was supposed to be a work in progress.

1754
01:31:33,600 --> 01:31:36,000
Speaker 1: But that just shows how well Being has put this

1755
01:31:36,160 --> 01:31:40,080
Speaker 1: roster together. Yeah, I mean, I think Sean McDermott as well,

1756
01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:45,320
Speaker 1: player development and and you know, yeah, both those guys.

1757
01:31:45,800 --> 01:31:48,200
Speaker 1: Being is certainly brought in the guys that can really play,

1758
01:31:48,240 --> 01:31:50,880
Speaker 1: and McDermott has made them better than the some of

1759
01:31:50,880 --> 01:31:54,840
Speaker 1: their parts. They're getting a lot of mileage out of it.

1760
01:31:55,080 --> 01:31:57,799
Speaker 1: You go back and watch that Week one game last

1761
01:31:57,880 --> 01:32:04,439
Speaker 1: year and the way the Bills just ground it out

1762
01:32:04,680 --> 01:32:07,519
Speaker 1: and just wouldn't go away and never stopped playing. They

1763
01:32:07,520 --> 01:32:10,240
Speaker 1: were down, It looked like they looked awful. They kept

1764
01:32:10,280 --> 01:32:12,800
Speaker 1: turning it over in the first half. The defense was

1765
01:32:12,880 --> 01:32:16,000
Speaker 1: really good, held him in check. Levion Bell had a

1766
01:32:16,040 --> 01:32:18,280
Speaker 1: few nice runs, but you know, they and the Bills

1767
01:32:18,280 --> 01:32:20,479
Speaker 1: had turned it over again. They get to the halftime

1768
01:32:20,520 --> 01:32:22,759
Speaker 1: and they were down like ten to three or something

1769
01:32:22,800 --> 01:32:25,840
Speaker 1: like that, or maybe it was maybe it was nine

1770
01:32:25,880 --> 01:32:27,560
Speaker 1: to nothing or something at half time. I can't I

1771
01:32:27,600 --> 01:32:31,920
Speaker 1: think it was nine to nothing at halftime, and just

1772
01:32:32,360 --> 01:32:33,840
Speaker 1: you know, couldn't get it done. They came out and

1773
01:32:33,880 --> 01:32:36,880
Speaker 1: they got a touchdown early in the third quarter, and

1774
01:32:36,920 --> 01:32:39,000
Speaker 1: then the Bills just they were just hanging in there.

1775
01:32:39,040 --> 01:32:41,920
Speaker 1: They kept playing good. Not they weren't getting any any

1776
01:32:41,960 --> 01:32:44,240
Speaker 1: reward for it at the end of the game, you know,

1777
01:32:44,360 --> 01:32:46,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen kind of this is the one where Josh

1778
01:32:46,160 --> 01:32:48,479
Speaker 1: Allen had a rollout, rollout squeaked in the corner of

1779
01:32:48,479 --> 01:32:54,280
Speaker 1: the zone. Okay, so now it's sixteen to seven, and

1780
01:32:54,360 --> 01:32:57,200
Speaker 1: they were sixteen to ten because they got they got

1781
01:32:57,240 --> 01:33:00,479
Speaker 1: a field goal from Haushka. And by the way, not

1782
01:33:00,600 --> 01:33:03,160
Speaker 1: for anything, this game was won and lost by the kickers.

1783
01:33:03,720 --> 01:33:07,160
Speaker 1: In that game, the Jet kicker Vedvik can make the

1784
01:33:07,240 --> 01:33:10,280
Speaker 1: argument the Bills win over the Titans was decided by

1785
01:33:10,280 --> 01:33:15,320
Speaker 1: the kickers fourteen seven, Right, So Vedvik, miss is an

1786
01:33:15,320 --> 01:33:17,280
Speaker 1: extra point, first extra point of the game, and then

1787
01:33:17,280 --> 01:33:18,920
Speaker 1: miss is a field goal, and he hits a field goal,

1788
01:33:18,960 --> 01:33:20,479
Speaker 1: but he missed a field goal, so there's four points

1789
01:33:20,479 --> 01:33:21,760
Speaker 1: they left on the and it was a not a

1790
01:33:21,840 --> 01:33:24,000
Speaker 1: long field goals as a low forties I think low

1791
01:33:24,040 --> 01:33:28,320
Speaker 1: forty two yard or missed it. So instead of being

1792
01:33:29,040 --> 01:33:33,240
Speaker 1: losing seventeen to twenty, the Bills win seventeen sixteen. In

1793
01:33:33,439 --> 01:33:36,200
Speaker 1: all said and done, you know, they they just wouldn't

1794
01:33:36,200 --> 01:33:39,120
Speaker 1: go away. And that was the story that season. The

1795
01:33:39,160 --> 01:33:41,200
Speaker 1: Bills just wouldn't go away in these games, and a

1796
01:33:41,200 --> 01:33:43,320
Speaker 1: lot of these teams just couldn't put them away and

1797
01:33:43,439 --> 01:33:46,040
Speaker 1: wound up giving it back. And as we've said, defense

1798
01:33:46,320 --> 01:33:49,559
Speaker 1: travels when your offense isn't hitting on all cylinders. If

1799
01:33:49,600 --> 01:33:51,640
Speaker 1: you have a top five defense, they can hold you

1800
01:33:51,680 --> 01:33:55,080
Speaker 1: in games, even on the road, because defense can perform

1801
01:33:55,640 --> 01:33:58,160
Speaker 1: on the road. Last one from Loo at an all

1802
01:33:58,280 --> 01:34:02,200
Speaker 1: time high says the rivalry is at quarterbacks coming into

1803
01:34:02,240 --> 01:34:05,240
Speaker 1: their ever important third year showing a lot of progress.

1804
01:34:05,280 --> 01:34:09,120
Speaker 1: This could eventually develop into the premier quarterback rivalry in

1805
01:34:09,160 --> 01:34:11,640
Speaker 1: the league, and it's going to be very exciting to

1806
01:34:11,680 --> 01:34:14,280
Speaker 1: see it grow this year. Can't you see Louie shouting this?

1807
01:34:14,920 --> 01:34:17,559
Speaker 1: I could totally see lou shouting this whole thing at

1808
01:34:17,560 --> 01:34:24,200
Speaker 1: an all time high? Yeah yeah, oh boy. Well he's very,

1809
01:34:24,400 --> 01:34:28,559
Speaker 1: very very optimistic, so good for him. All right, we

1810
01:34:28,600 --> 01:34:30,760
Speaker 1: have to take a break because when we come back,

1811
01:34:30,840 --> 01:34:34,000
Speaker 1: we will have one Andrew Catalot from CBS Sports. He'll

1812
01:34:34,040 --> 01:34:36,640
Speaker 1: be calling the game on Sunday for CBS along with

1813
01:34:36,680 --> 01:34:39,200
Speaker 1: our good friend James Lofton. So we'll have the Catman

1814
01:34:39,320 --> 01:34:43,000
Speaker 1: join us. Next is he gives us his insight on

1815
01:34:43,040 --> 01:34:46,320
Speaker 1: what he thinks this matchup will present and what it

1816
01:34:46,400 --> 01:34:49,240
Speaker 1: was like not doing preseason games on TV for the

1817
01:34:49,280 --> 01:34:52,240
Speaker 1: Bills because there was no preseason. We'll talk to him

1818
01:34:52,240 --> 01:34:54,360
Speaker 1: about that and everything else coming up next here on

1824
01:35:22,880 --> 01:35:26,639
Speaker 1: did not practice again. Here on Thursday, lee By Wallace

1825
01:35:26,680 --> 01:35:29,280
Speaker 1: practice fully, but still no determination as to who will

1826
01:35:29,320 --> 01:35:32,759
Speaker 1: start offosite Tredavious White at the other cornerback spot. Among

1827
01:35:32,800 --> 01:35:35,320
Speaker 1: the other players on Buffalo's injury report this week, Vernon

1828
01:35:35,360 --> 01:35:39,200
Speaker 1: Butler with a hamstring and Taiwan Jones with a knee injury.

1829
01:35:39,360 --> 01:35:42,360
Speaker 1: The NFL season officially gets underway tonight when the reigning

1830
01:35:42,360 --> 01:35:45,559
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs host the Houston Texans.

1831
01:35:45,840 --> 01:35:49,040
Speaker 1: The Chiefs and the Texans feature young penon quarterbacks coming

1832
01:35:49,080 --> 01:35:52,760
Speaker 1: off record setting contracts this offseason, and Pat Mahomes and

1833
01:35:52,840 --> 01:35:56,599
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. Kickoff is set for a twenty PM. It's

1834
01:35:56,640 --> 01:35:59,600
Speaker 1: official old Broncos pass rusher Von Miller will need to

1835
01:35:59,600 --> 01:36:02,400
Speaker 1: have sir jury on the dislocated tendon and is said

1836
01:36:02,400 --> 01:36:04,719
Speaker 1: to be out for several months. It's likely the Denver

1837
01:36:04,840 --> 01:36:08,160
Speaker 1: will be without him now for the regular season. Jason

1838
01:36:08,200 --> 01:36:12,280
Speaker 1: Peters resigned in Philadelphia this offseason to play guard after

1839
01:36:12,320 --> 01:36:15,519
Speaker 1: the season ending injury to Andre Dillard. However, the seventeen

1840
01:36:15,600 --> 01:36:18,760
Speaker 1: year pro will slide back to left tackle. Peters will

1841
01:36:18,760 --> 01:36:21,720
Speaker 1: also get a bump in pay to compensate him for

1842
01:36:21,720 --> 01:36:24,880
Speaker 1: that upgrade in position. The Eagles reworked Peters contract, which

1843
01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:27,679
Speaker 1: is now worth up to eight million dollars. And finally,

1844
01:36:27,680 --> 01:36:31,040
Speaker 1: a baseball note, the Atlanta Braves scored twenty nine runs

1845
01:36:31,560 --> 01:36:34,680
Speaker 1: on the Miami Marlins Wednesday night, falling one short of

1846
01:36:34,720 --> 01:36:36,960
Speaker 1: tying the major League record for most runs in a game.

1847
01:36:36,960 --> 01:36:40,679
Speaker 1: Adam Duvall's seventh inning grand Slam Dave Atlanta a twenty

1848
01:36:40,760 --> 01:36:44,000
Speaker 1: nine to nine lead, which ended up being the final score.

1849
01:36:44,360 --> 01:36:46,559
Speaker 1: Twenty nine runs tied for the second most in the

1850
01:36:46,600 --> 01:36:49,240
Speaker 1: game in the modern era. Just shy of the Texas

1851
01:36:49,320 --> 01:36:53,040
Speaker 1: Rangers thirty spot that they hung on the Baltimore Orioles

1852
01:36:53,040 --> 01:36:56,320
Speaker 1: back in two thousand and seven. That is your sports update,

Speaker 1: Studios in Orchard Park and joining us now from the

1856
01:37:06,680 --> 01:37:10,840
Speaker 1: Garden State in Short Hills, New Jersey. Getting ready to

1857
01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:13,000

1863
01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:34,040
Speaker 1: thanks for having me on. How crazy is it though, Andrew,

1864
01:37:34,080 --> 01:37:37,440
Speaker 1: that you were deprived of a preseason, much like the players,

1865
01:37:37,280 --> 01:37:42,160
Speaker 1: as kind of a ramp up here to the regular season. Yeah, Chris,

1866
01:37:42,200 --> 01:37:44,880
Speaker 1: you know, I understand it, But at the same time,

1867
01:37:44,920 --> 01:37:47,439
Speaker 1: I really missed it because this I believe would have

1868
01:37:47,439 --> 01:37:50,200
Speaker 1: been my fifth preseason calling the Bills games with my

1869
01:37:50,240 --> 01:37:53,200
Speaker 1: buddy up there next to you, Steve Tasker, And not

1870
01:37:53,240 --> 01:37:55,960
Speaker 1: only is it fun to see some football in August,

1871
01:37:56,040 --> 01:37:57,519
Speaker 1: but we get to tee it up, we get to

1872
01:37:57,560 --> 01:38:00,639
Speaker 1: catch up. And I really miss coming up there this summer,

1873
01:38:00,680 --> 01:38:03,240
Speaker 1: and I'm happy it worked out this way that my

1874
01:38:03,320 --> 01:38:05,559
Speaker 1: first game will be in Buffalo, so I'm not I'm

1875
01:38:05,600 --> 01:38:07,320
Speaker 1: not missing it too much because I'm on my way

1876
01:38:07,360 --> 01:38:09,200
Speaker 1: up there tomorrow. Yeah, didn't you didn't get to stay

1877
01:38:09,200 --> 01:38:13,120
Speaker 1: at the task or compound sum That's right? Yeah, I

1878
01:38:13,120 --> 01:38:16,519
Speaker 1: hope they hope I get my deposit back because usually

1879
01:38:16,520 --> 01:38:19,080
Speaker 1: I have money down to stay there. You didn't read

1880
01:38:19,080 --> 01:38:22,960
Speaker 1: the fine print. But nevertheless, yeah, we did miss you.

1881
01:38:23,120 --> 01:38:25,760
Speaker 1: And hopefully we'll be back in the saddle of next

1882
01:38:25,840 --> 01:38:28,000
Speaker 1: years and we'll be happy to see you in the booth.

1883
01:38:28,120 --> 01:38:30,800
Speaker 1: We'll be able to wave at you down down the

1884
01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:33,720
Speaker 1: press box. No, well, actually we could holler at you.

1885
01:38:33,760 --> 01:38:35,519
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna you'll be able to hear us if place

1886
01:38:35,560 --> 01:38:38,800
Speaker 1: will be empty. Were you You know this is it's

1887
01:38:38,800 --> 01:38:42,280
Speaker 1: an unbelievably different year for everybody, no less for you

1888
01:38:42,320 --> 01:38:44,200
Speaker 1: guys in the booth. What is gonna be the biggest

1889
01:38:44,200 --> 01:38:46,960
Speaker 1: difference for you guys. I know that your producer, director,

1890
01:38:47,000 --> 01:38:50,040
Speaker 1: Andrew Andy, and Steve or They're gonna be in New

1891
01:38:50,120 --> 01:38:53,240
Speaker 1: York or in New Jersey waiting, you know, and you

1892
01:38:53,240 --> 01:38:55,160
Speaker 1: guys are gonna be the only ones here. How's this

1893
01:38:55,520 --> 01:38:57,639
Speaker 1: gonna work for you guys? And what have they told

1894
01:38:57,680 --> 01:39:01,080
Speaker 1: you about what they expect? You know. I don't think

1895
01:39:01,120 --> 01:39:05,320
Speaker 1: I've ever got into a game or a situation really

1896
01:39:05,360 --> 01:39:09,280
Speaker 1: not knowing what to expect more than this weekend. I

1897
01:39:09,320 --> 01:39:12,320
Speaker 1: think when the game kicks off that it'll be football,

1898
01:39:12,360 --> 01:39:15,920
Speaker 1: and obviously it'll be different with masks and and uh,

1899
01:39:16,160 --> 01:39:19,040
Speaker 1: you know, no fans and we know all that. But

1900
01:39:19,080 --> 01:39:20,960
Speaker 1: I think just leading up to the game and even

1901
01:39:21,040 --> 01:39:23,759
Speaker 1: in the pregame, there's gonna be things that I'm looking

1902
01:39:23,800 --> 01:39:26,760
Speaker 1: at that I'm just not really sure what I'm gonna see. Um.

1903
01:39:27,960 --> 01:39:31,280
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of differences this year obviously that

1904
01:39:31,360 --> 01:39:34,040
Speaker 1: we know. You mentioned that the producer and director will

1905
01:39:34,080 --> 01:39:37,000
Speaker 1: be in New York City and not in Buffalo, and

1906
01:39:37,000 --> 01:39:39,800
Speaker 1: that's that's a big difference. James Lofton and I will

1907
01:39:39,840 --> 01:39:45,400
Speaker 1: have plexiglass between us and the booth. That'll be something different. So,

1908
01:39:45,800 --> 01:39:47,439
Speaker 1: you know, I think, you know, we we're doing our

1909
01:39:47,479 --> 01:39:51,080
Speaker 1: production meetings with the Bills. Normally we come to practice

1910
01:39:51,160 --> 01:39:54,040
Speaker 1: on Friday, sit down and talk with the players. Well

1911
01:39:54,040 --> 01:39:58,519
Speaker 1: now we're doing them on zoom, so everything's different. Um Again,

1912
01:39:58,600 --> 01:40:01,320
Speaker 1: I think when football starts at one o'clock, it'll feel

1913
01:40:01,520 --> 01:40:04,200
Speaker 1: like a regular game in a sense. But I think

1914
01:40:04,280 --> 01:40:08,920
Speaker 1: just everything until one o'clock on Sunday is just completely different,

1915
01:40:08,920 --> 01:40:11,360
Speaker 1: and part of me has no idea what to expect,

1916
01:40:11,360 --> 01:40:13,639
Speaker 1: to be honest with I know there are times, too, Andrew,

1917
01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:16,880
Speaker 1: where the Playboy play broadcast, you're based on how a

1918
01:40:16,960 --> 01:40:20,400
Speaker 1: play on folds, the reaction from the crowd. Will sometimes

1919
01:40:20,960 --> 01:40:25,360
Speaker 1: let the atmosphere tell the story. If the place is roaring,

1920
01:40:25,880 --> 01:40:27,840
Speaker 1: you just kind of let it roll. There's no need

1921
01:40:27,880 --> 01:40:31,280
Speaker 1: to fill there, and that is an element that is

1922
01:40:31,320 --> 01:40:33,720
Speaker 1: going to be absent. You may have a little more

1923
01:40:33,760 --> 01:40:37,800
Speaker 1: filling to do if there's some big plays happening here. Yeah, Chris,

1924
01:40:37,840 --> 01:40:39,840
Speaker 1: it's a great point, and it's something that I that

1925
01:40:39,920 --> 01:40:43,200
Speaker 1: I've been thinking a lot about because normally, if there's

1926
01:40:43,200 --> 01:40:46,000
Speaker 1: a touchdown, specifically the home team, like let's say the

1927
01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:48,920
Speaker 1: Bills score on Sunday, you know I would lay out

1928
01:40:49,080 --> 01:40:51,640
Speaker 1: let the crowd go crazy, we would take shots of

1929
01:40:51,680 --> 01:40:55,600
Speaker 1: the crowd, you'd hear the Bills chance. We're obviously not

1930
01:40:55,640 --> 01:40:58,040
Speaker 1: going to have that. However, we are going to have

1931
01:40:58,479 --> 01:41:02,880
Speaker 1: sound that the NFL vibes underneath our broadcast. And I'm

1932
01:41:02,880 --> 01:41:05,559
Speaker 1: being told that when the Bills score a touchdown, it's

1933
01:41:05,560 --> 01:41:09,880
Speaker 1: supposed to sound like it would if there were fans

1934
01:41:09,880 --> 01:41:12,080
Speaker 1: in the stands. So that's going to be one of

1935
01:41:12,080 --> 01:41:15,040
Speaker 1: the things that I think I feel out throughout the broadcast.

1936
01:41:15,120 --> 01:41:18,559
Speaker 1: How does the natural sound that's not natural, that's fake,

1937
01:41:19,040 --> 01:41:21,960
Speaker 1: sound underneath me when there's a big play or an

1938
01:41:21,960 --> 01:41:25,599
Speaker 1: interception or something going on in the field. So that's

1939
01:41:25,640 --> 01:41:29,719
Speaker 1: going to be an adjustment on the fly. I've been

1940
01:41:29,800 --> 01:41:33,040
Speaker 1: saying all along, Andrew, this turns out this weekend, all

1941
01:41:33,080 --> 01:41:36,160
Speaker 1: the way across the NFL is the biggest blind date

1942
01:41:36,160 --> 01:41:39,000
Speaker 1: in NFL history. You don't know what that other team's

1943
01:41:39,040 --> 01:41:40,800
Speaker 1: gonna look like. You haven't had a chance to even

1944
01:41:40,800 --> 01:41:44,240
Speaker 1: see them in their uniforms. You have no idea what's

1945
01:41:44,240 --> 01:41:47,280
Speaker 1: gonna happen when you show up and you're wearing the

1946
01:41:47,400 --> 01:41:50,479
Speaker 1: right color flower on your lapel. You don't know what

1947
01:41:50,520 --> 01:41:52,960
Speaker 1: you're really going to get into until the game kicks off,

1948
01:41:53,840 --> 01:41:59,200
Speaker 1: Personnel tendencies, scouting reports are non existent, and that's really

1949
01:41:59,320 --> 01:42:03,360
Speaker 1: unusual at the NFL level. And for you, there's no

1950
01:42:03,400 --> 01:42:04,880
Speaker 1: place to practice. You don't know what you don't know

1951
01:42:04,920 --> 01:42:06,639
Speaker 1: what these guys look like in the uniform. It's hard

1952
01:42:06,680 --> 01:42:08,639
Speaker 1: to practice a play by play. You can't get into

1953
01:42:08,680 --> 01:42:13,559
Speaker 1: a rhythm. All new faces, all new names. You know.

1954
01:42:13,600 --> 01:42:16,360
Speaker 1: What's the fact that this is an unexpected, an unknown

1955
01:42:16,720 --> 01:42:20,120
Speaker 1: commodity for both teams as well as you guys in

1956
01:42:20,160 --> 01:42:23,599
Speaker 1: the booth. How do you think this is going to unfold? Yeah,

1957
01:42:23,600 --> 01:42:26,160
Speaker 1: we were just talking with Tradevious White for our production

1958
01:42:26,240 --> 01:42:28,240
Speaker 1: meeting on Zoom and he was saying he had to

1959
01:42:28,240 --> 01:42:31,120
Speaker 1: go back to college video of Denzel Mims to get

1960
01:42:31,120 --> 01:42:34,080
Speaker 1: a glinse at him because there's no preseason games and

1961
01:42:34,120 --> 01:42:36,439
Speaker 1: no preseason tape to watch. And I think that's true

1962
01:42:36,479 --> 01:42:38,519
Speaker 1: for everyone out there on the field, you know. I

1963
01:42:38,560 --> 01:42:41,200
Speaker 1: think whether it's the broadcasters of the players or how

1964
01:42:41,200 --> 01:42:45,320
Speaker 1: about the officials, Steve, they haven't had any preseason games

1965
01:42:45,400 --> 01:42:48,120
Speaker 1: to get their feet wet. I think that could be

1966
01:42:48,160 --> 01:42:50,479
Speaker 1: an interesting dynamic. You know. I think you've heard a

1967
01:42:50,479 --> 01:42:54,640
Speaker 1: lot about special teams with no live tackling for the

1968
01:42:54,680 --> 01:42:57,160
Speaker 1: most part throughout training camp. How is that going to

1969
01:42:57,240 --> 01:43:00,679
Speaker 1: play out? You know, I think that's a rate line.

1970
01:43:00,720 --> 01:43:03,120
Speaker 1: It's really a big blind date. And that's why I

1971
01:43:03,160 --> 01:43:05,160
Speaker 1: think the Bills, and this is something that I've talked

1972
01:43:05,160 --> 01:43:08,040
Speaker 1: about on your show Goaling months back now, I think

1973
01:43:08,040 --> 01:43:11,200
Speaker 1: the Bills, with all of their continuity, have a big

1974
01:43:11,240 --> 01:43:13,479
Speaker 1: advantage at the start of the season, and they need

1975
01:43:13,520 --> 01:43:16,840
Speaker 1: to use that to their advantage these other teams. I mean,

1976
01:43:16,840 --> 01:43:19,400
Speaker 1: look at the Jets. Their receivers have been heard all summer.

1977
01:43:19,479 --> 01:43:23,200
Speaker 1: They're new. I mean the Bills, Yes, Digs is new,

1978
01:43:23,240 --> 01:43:25,559
Speaker 1: but he spends time with Josh and we know that.

1979
01:43:25,680 --> 01:43:28,800
Speaker 1: I think the Bills, you know, more so than other teams,

1980
01:43:28,800 --> 01:43:32,280
Speaker 1: should hit the ground running on Sunday, and that I

1981
01:43:32,320 --> 01:43:34,160
Speaker 1: think that is a reason why I like them to

1982
01:43:34,160 --> 01:43:36,439
Speaker 1: win the division. I think that continuity will play out

1983
01:43:36,479 --> 01:43:39,040
Speaker 1: and help them throughout the year. Talking to CBS play

1984
01:43:39,120 --> 01:43:42,040
Speaker 1: by play man Andrew Catalan will be broadcasting the Bills

1985
01:43:42,120 --> 01:43:45,120
Speaker 1: and Jets on CBS on Sunday with his broadcast partner

1986
01:43:45,200 --> 01:43:48,719
Speaker 1: James Lofton at one o'clock kickoff. And you know, Andrew,

1987
01:43:48,760 --> 01:43:52,639
Speaker 1: you mentioned the continuity of the Bills. The Jets really

1988
01:43:52,640 --> 01:43:55,240
Speaker 1: don't have that almost anywhere on their roster when you

1989
01:43:55,280 --> 01:43:59,080
Speaker 1: think about it, whether it's the departures on defense, either

1990
01:43:59,160 --> 01:44:01,439
Speaker 1: due to trade or opt outs in the form of c. J.

1991
01:44:01,640 --> 01:44:04,800
Speaker 1: Mosley and Jamal Adams, and then Patrick Owasso goes on

1992
01:44:04,840 --> 01:44:07,639
Speaker 1: IR this week, the other linebacker, and then on offense,

1993
01:44:07,680 --> 01:44:09,760
Speaker 1: five new offensive linemen that are trying to learn how

1994
01:44:09,800 --> 01:44:13,200
Speaker 1: to play with one another. Is this a Jets team that,

1995
01:44:13,360 --> 01:44:17,280
Speaker 1: even despite their best efforts, have an uphill battle here

1996
01:44:17,360 --> 01:44:20,280
Speaker 1: before their team really can kind of gain some footing

1997
01:44:20,640 --> 01:44:26,160
Speaker 1: and play consistently just based on the newness to one another. Yeah,

1998
01:44:26,200 --> 01:44:28,719
Speaker 1: I think that's a big challenge for the Jets on Sunday,

1999
01:44:28,800 --> 01:44:32,479
Speaker 1: Chris without a doubt, And you know, part of me says, well,

2000
01:44:32,479 --> 01:44:36,080
Speaker 1: who knows what to expect. But the other other things

2001
01:44:36,120 --> 01:44:37,760
Speaker 1: you read and what you see and what you hear

2002
01:44:37,920 --> 01:44:41,080
Speaker 1: is that the guys have been hurt. On offense, the

2003
01:44:41,160 --> 01:44:45,160
Speaker 1: offensive line hasn't played a game together. Defensively, they've been

2004
01:44:45,200 --> 01:44:49,120
Speaker 1: a little banged up. They lost Mosley, they traded away Adams.

2005
01:44:49,120 --> 01:44:52,840
Speaker 1: Everything is quote unquote new for them. And you know,

2006
01:44:52,880 --> 01:44:55,040
Speaker 1: you can spit it the other way to second year

2007
01:44:55,120 --> 01:44:58,000
Speaker 1: for Darnold under gaze, They have a better understanding of

2008
01:44:58,000 --> 01:45:01,400
Speaker 1: each other. The offense, you know, looks maybe more comfortable,

2009
01:45:01,479 --> 01:45:05,880
Speaker 1: but timing wise, rhythm wise, and just getting a game rep.

2010
01:45:05,960 --> 01:45:09,200
Speaker 1: I think that works against the Jets in this matchup

2011
01:45:09,240 --> 01:45:11,799
Speaker 1: on Sunday. But as we said, I don't think anyone

2012
01:45:11,840 --> 01:45:15,320
Speaker 1: really knows what to expect from any team for Week one,

2013
01:45:15,320 --> 01:45:18,320
Speaker 1: at least. It's been a while since the Buffalo franchise

2014
01:45:18,400 --> 01:45:21,599
Speaker 1: has had expectations attached to them this early in the season.

2015
01:45:21,640 --> 01:45:24,680
Speaker 1: This preseason where people are saying they're the favorites to

2016
01:45:24,720 --> 01:45:27,000
Speaker 1: win the Division, a division they haven't won since nineteen

2017
01:45:27,080 --> 01:45:30,840
Speaker 1: ninety five. That seems like a big step until you

2018
01:45:30,880 --> 01:45:33,080
Speaker 1: look at the methodical way over the last three years

2019
01:45:33,080 --> 01:45:36,479
Speaker 1: they've progressed. Now, they still have not won a playoff game,

2020
01:45:36,840 --> 01:45:39,160
Speaker 1: but this is a roster that has been methodically built,

2021
01:45:39,160 --> 01:45:42,240
Speaker 1: and now the new shiny pieces seem to be Steph

2022
01:45:42,360 --> 01:45:45,400
Speaker 1: dig Zach moss Aja Panessa. They've got some things that

2023
01:45:45,439 --> 01:45:47,759
Speaker 1: they're really leaning on and some players that have become

2024
01:45:47,800 --> 01:45:50,840
Speaker 1: foundations for them. This is, you know, how does a

2025
01:45:50,880 --> 01:45:55,120
Speaker 1: team like this in Buffalo, given all the positive things

2026
01:45:55,120 --> 01:45:57,000
Speaker 1: that have been said about them, not turn into the

2027
01:45:57,040 --> 01:46:00,519
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen Cleveland Browns who were said they're going to

2028
01:46:00,520 --> 01:46:03,200
Speaker 1: the super Bowl and they went eight and eight. Well,

2029
01:46:03,200 --> 01:46:05,599
Speaker 1: I love what Josh Allen just told us. He said,

2030
01:46:05,680 --> 01:46:08,760
Speaker 1: you know, we know the expectations are high, but our

2031
01:46:08,840 --> 01:46:11,680
Speaker 1: own expectations are higher than that. And I think that

2032
01:46:11,760 --> 01:46:15,080
Speaker 1: was a great answer. And his leadership continues to impress me.

2033
01:46:15,200 --> 01:46:17,360
Speaker 1: And you know one thing that I go back on,

2034
01:46:17,479 --> 01:46:19,880
Speaker 1: and that's I think of a product of spending so

2035
01:46:19,920 --> 01:46:22,879
Speaker 1: many summers up there with you guys a preseason announced

2036
01:46:22,920 --> 01:46:27,200
Speaker 1: in the preseason games. The culture that Brandon Bean and

2037
01:46:27,240 --> 01:46:31,400
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott have built is not going to allow, in

2038
01:46:31,479 --> 01:46:34,280
Speaker 1: my opinion, the Bills to get too far ahead of

2039
01:46:34,280 --> 01:46:38,200
Speaker 1: themselves to talk Super Bowl. It's just not the way

2040
01:46:38,280 --> 01:46:42,200
Speaker 1: that that building operates. And you know, you guys are

2041
01:46:42,200 --> 01:46:44,400
Speaker 1: in that building every day and you're a lot closer

2042
01:46:44,439 --> 01:46:46,479
Speaker 1: to the Bills than I am. But I go around

2043
01:46:46,479 --> 01:46:49,160
Speaker 1: to a lot of other buildings and I see the

2044
01:46:49,680 --> 01:46:53,400
Speaker 1: culture and the way things are constructed, and it just

2045
01:46:53,479 --> 01:46:58,800
Speaker 1: the Buffalo locker room continuity culture really stands out to me,

2046
01:46:58,920 --> 01:47:01,080
Speaker 1: and I think that will help them in a year when,

2047
01:47:01,120 --> 01:47:04,240
Speaker 1: as you said, expectations are sky high. I just don't

2048
01:47:04,280 --> 01:47:06,679
Speaker 1: think that they would allow themselves to go down that

2049
01:47:06,760 --> 01:47:10,120
Speaker 1: road like a Cleveland did last year that you referenced

2050
01:47:10,120 --> 01:47:13,160
Speaker 1: Steve talking to Andrew Catalan played by Pray, broadcaster from

2051
01:47:13,160 --> 01:47:16,639
Speaker 1: CBS Sports doing the game on Sunday with James lofton

2052
01:47:16,760 --> 01:47:20,160
Speaker 1: one o'clock kickoff on CBS, and the one thing I

2053
01:47:20,200 --> 01:47:23,559
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you just personally, Andrew, you know, knowing

2054
01:47:23,600 --> 01:47:26,160
Speaker 1: that you've kind of seen this team a little bit

2055
01:47:26,240 --> 01:47:29,040
Speaker 1: more than most others by virtue of your preseason exposure

2056
01:47:29,040 --> 01:47:32,080
Speaker 1: over the years, with the new elements that have been

2057
01:47:32,120 --> 01:47:35,840
Speaker 1: added that Steve referenced, is there one particular part of

2058
01:47:35,920 --> 01:47:38,719
Speaker 1: this Bill's team that intrigues you that you are most

2059
01:47:38,840 --> 01:47:42,519
Speaker 1: eager to see on display here in Week one, you know,

2060
01:47:42,560 --> 01:47:44,959
Speaker 1: whether it's digs in the passing game or this revamped

2061
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:47,639
Speaker 1: defensive line with added talently, is there anything that stands

2062
01:47:47,640 --> 01:47:49,080
Speaker 1: out to you say, Oh, I really want to see

2063
01:47:49,080 --> 01:47:51,760
Speaker 1: what that looks like here. Well, I want to see

2064
01:47:51,800 --> 01:47:54,360
Speaker 1: the deep ball work, Chris. I mean, I think that's

2065
01:47:54,400 --> 01:47:57,040
Speaker 1: a big thing. I know that Josh Allen has said

2066
01:47:57,360 --> 01:48:00,680
Speaker 1: in the offseason that was a focus for him. Obviously,

2067
01:48:00,720 --> 01:48:04,439
Speaker 1: getting Diggs is a big help, you would think to that,

2068
01:48:04,600 --> 01:48:07,519
Speaker 1: but you know, I'm going on with Josh Allen said.

2069
01:48:07,560 --> 01:48:09,920
Speaker 1: He said he knows he needed to improve on the

2070
01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:13,400
Speaker 1: deep ball. He's got a guy that can fly. I mean,

2071
01:48:13,439 --> 01:48:15,639
Speaker 1: he told us that Diggs ran a route in practice

2072
01:48:15,680 --> 01:48:18,960
Speaker 1: the other day that was full speed and he was

2073
01:48:19,040 --> 01:48:22,479
Speaker 1: so excited seeing Diggs going full speed that they're gonna

2074
01:48:22,520 --> 01:48:24,040
Speaker 1: have to hit on some of these deep balls. And

2075
01:48:24,080 --> 01:48:26,559
Speaker 1: I think if they do, their offense as a whole

2076
01:48:26,600 --> 01:48:29,320
Speaker 1: will be a whole lot better. It'll open up running lanes,

2077
01:48:29,360 --> 01:48:32,519
Speaker 1: It'll give Beasley room underneath. If they can get some

2078
01:48:32,600 --> 01:48:35,000
Speaker 1: of these deep balls going with Diggs, I think it

2079
01:48:35,080 --> 01:48:39,519
Speaker 1: really changes the dynamic of this offense. What did in

2080
01:48:39,600 --> 01:48:41,960
Speaker 1: your interactions with the New York Jets and Adam Gays.

2081
01:48:42,040 --> 01:48:44,439
Speaker 1: He's been under some pressure and went under some credit

2082
01:48:44,439 --> 01:48:49,200
Speaker 1: fire last year for Sam Darnold not being as developed

2083
01:48:49,200 --> 01:48:51,639
Speaker 1: as fast as they thought he would. Their offense struggle

2084
01:48:51,720 --> 01:48:54,360
Speaker 1: to score points all year. They had a couple of

2085
01:48:54,360 --> 01:48:57,360
Speaker 1: breakout games and they broke loose versus Dallas. After they

2086
01:48:57,360 --> 01:49:00,160
Speaker 1: finally broke it through on the winning side of the ledger. Well,

2087
01:49:00,200 --> 01:49:02,599
Speaker 1: what do you what are your thoughts about Adam Gase

2088
01:49:02,960 --> 01:49:05,240
Speaker 1: where his mindset is, how he's perceived by not only

2089
01:49:05,280 --> 01:49:09,200
Speaker 1: fan base, but maybe the ownership of the Jets. Yeah,

2090
01:49:09,240 --> 01:49:12,120
Speaker 1: I think it's a big year for him. I liked

2091
01:49:12,520 --> 01:49:15,519
Speaker 1: the job that he did. Is the Miami coach. I

2092
01:49:15,600 --> 01:49:18,120
Speaker 1: think that he has a lot of potential and has

2093
01:49:18,160 --> 01:49:21,799
Speaker 1: shown that as an offensive play caller. But his future,

2094
01:49:21,920 --> 01:49:24,920
Speaker 1: to me is tied to Sam Donald, And if Sam

2095
01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:28,160
Speaker 1: Donald has a mediocre year, I think Gas could be

2096
01:49:28,200 --> 01:49:30,360
Speaker 1: in a little bit of trouble. If Sam Donald has

2097
01:49:30,360 --> 01:49:32,560
Speaker 1: a very good year, I think Gas is going to

2098
01:49:32,640 --> 01:49:34,360
Speaker 1: be the coach of the Jets for years to come.

2099
01:49:34,439 --> 01:49:37,639
Speaker 1: So I think there's a lot on the line, certainly

2100
01:49:37,640 --> 01:49:40,479
Speaker 1: for Adam Gase. I know the expectations certainly are not

2101
01:49:40,520 --> 01:49:43,639
Speaker 1: as high as they are for a Buffalo, But that said,

2102
01:49:44,000 --> 01:49:46,840
Speaker 1: they win seven and nine last year, and then you know,

2103
01:49:47,080 --> 01:49:50,320
Speaker 1: the fans want to see a better product, so there

2104
01:49:50,400 --> 01:49:53,679
Speaker 1: is some pressure. It did win six of their last

2105
01:49:53,760 --> 01:49:55,680
Speaker 1: eight a year ago, and if they can carry over

2106
01:49:55,760 --> 01:49:58,360
Speaker 1: some of that momentum, I think that bodes well. But

2107
01:49:58,479 --> 01:49:59,960
Speaker 1: at the same time, there'll be a lot of eye

2108
01:50:00,120 --> 01:50:02,120
Speaker 1: and how Sam Darnold does in year number three, and

2109
01:50:02,240 --> 01:50:05,519
Speaker 1: that's completely tied I think to Adam Gates. Last one

2110
01:50:05,560 --> 01:50:08,080
Speaker 1: for me Andrew, you know, as down as people are

2111
01:50:08,120 --> 01:50:09,920
Speaker 1: on the Jets and as high as people are on

2112
01:50:09,960 --> 01:50:12,360
Speaker 1: the Bills. Some people think this isn't going to be

2113
01:50:12,439 --> 01:50:15,240
Speaker 1: a close contest, but these division matchups always seem to

2114
01:50:15,240 --> 01:50:18,320
Speaker 1: be tight. We know the percentage of NFL games that

2115
01:50:18,360 --> 01:50:20,559
Speaker 1: are decided by a touchdown or less, it's usually up

2116
01:50:20,600 --> 01:50:23,679
Speaker 1: around seventy five seventy six percent. What do you kind

2117
01:50:23,720 --> 01:50:27,080
Speaker 1: of foresee? Again, we all know we haven't seen any

2118
01:50:27,080 --> 01:50:29,800
Speaker 1: of these teams in preseason and how they're coming along here,

2119
01:50:29,840 --> 01:50:33,519
Speaker 1: But are you expecting a nip and tuck type game?

2120
01:50:35,720 --> 01:50:37,960
Speaker 1: You know that's a good question, Chris. Anyway, I never

2121
01:50:38,040 --> 01:50:40,040
Speaker 1: go in thinking what the final score is going to

2122
01:50:40,120 --> 01:50:42,240
Speaker 1: be when I'm announcing the game. I think what I'm

2123
01:50:42,320 --> 01:50:44,640
Speaker 1: kind of curious to see is if Buffalo gets off

2124
01:50:44,680 --> 01:50:48,040
Speaker 1: to a good start, does the lack of fans help

2125
01:50:48,080 --> 01:50:50,519
Speaker 1: the Jets maybe get back into the game. I think

2126
01:50:50,560 --> 01:50:54,120
Speaker 1: that if Buffalo jumped out fourteen nothing and the crowd

2127
01:50:54,240 --> 01:50:57,040
Speaker 1: is going wild, would the Jets be able to recover

2128
01:50:57,200 --> 01:50:59,400
Speaker 1: from that on the road Week one? I don't know,

2129
01:50:59,520 --> 01:51:02,839
Speaker 1: but if Buffalo gets up early and with no crowd,

2130
01:51:02,880 --> 01:51:04,680
Speaker 1: if the Jets are able to crawl back in it,

2131
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:07,080
Speaker 1: and you could have a tight game. So you know,

2132
01:51:07,120 --> 01:51:10,320
Speaker 1: as you said, division matchups are always close, I would

2133
01:51:10,320 --> 01:51:15,000
Speaker 1: not expect a blowout. But there's just so many unknowns

2134
01:51:15,040 --> 01:51:19,280
Speaker 1: going into Sunday that again, I have no idea what

2135
01:51:19,439 --> 01:51:22,680
Speaker 1: to expect. So many Yeah, so much have been said

2136
01:51:22,720 --> 01:51:25,080
Speaker 1: about the home field advantage for these teams like Buffalo,

2137
01:51:25,160 --> 01:51:27,720
Speaker 1: like Kansas City, like Seattle, like Denver, these teams that

2138
01:51:27,760 --> 01:51:30,760
Speaker 1: are notoriously difficult to have teams coming in to their

2139
01:51:30,840 --> 01:51:33,880
Speaker 1: stadium and playing. Is it going to be And I

2140
01:51:33,960 --> 01:51:35,559
Speaker 1: just made this comment a little bit earlier in the

2141
01:51:35,560 --> 01:51:37,760
Speaker 1: show that the Jets may come in no fans in

2142
01:51:37,800 --> 01:51:39,720
Speaker 1: the stands. It's not that they have an advantage now,

2143
01:51:39,720 --> 01:51:43,120
Speaker 1: but they have less of a disadvantage because it's going

2144
01:51:43,160 --> 01:51:46,120
Speaker 1: to be a silent stadium. And that may be across

2145
01:51:46,160 --> 01:51:48,960
Speaker 1: the National Football League. So as much as Buffalo loses

2146
01:51:49,000 --> 01:51:51,840
Speaker 1: on a home field advantage, they may gain it when

2147
01:51:51,880 --> 01:51:54,080
Speaker 1: they go into other places to play. How do you

2148
01:51:54,120 --> 01:51:57,720
Speaker 1: think that's going to affect win loss records across the league?

2149
01:51:57,760 --> 01:52:01,960
Speaker 1: It'll probably be a trend some kind that we can discern.

2150
01:52:02,040 --> 01:52:05,360
Speaker 1: Maybe when we stack this season against other seasons on

2151
01:52:05,400 --> 01:52:08,280
Speaker 1: home and road records, maybe it'll be more even I

2152
01:52:08,320 --> 01:52:10,000
Speaker 1: don't know, But how do you think that's gonna play

2153
01:52:10,040 --> 01:52:13,960
Speaker 1: out for the home teams not getting the advantage of

2154
01:52:14,000 --> 01:52:16,200
Speaker 1: having fans in the stands and the and the visiting

2155
01:52:16,240 --> 01:52:20,000
Speaker 1: teams not having that disadvantage. Yeah, well, I think one

2156
01:52:20,000 --> 01:52:22,080
Speaker 1: thing that I've heard and a lot of quarterbacks it's

2157
01:52:22,240 --> 01:52:24,160
Speaker 1: it's not a secret. I mean, I think a big

2158
01:52:24,200 --> 01:52:26,960
Speaker 1: thing is these teams are gonna have to change their

2159
01:52:27,040 --> 01:52:31,280
Speaker 1: calls week to week because with nobody in the stadium,

2160
01:52:31,520 --> 01:52:34,320
Speaker 1: you can hear everything they're saying. And I think that's

2161
01:52:34,320 --> 01:52:36,519
Speaker 1: going to be an issue. I think that smart teams

2162
01:52:36,520 --> 01:52:38,200
Speaker 1: are going to pick up on that, and the teams

2163
01:52:38,200 --> 01:52:41,280
Speaker 1: that don't make the adjustments week to week could ultimately

2164
01:52:41,320 --> 01:52:44,479
Speaker 1: get burned. But I take it back to Sunday's game

2165
01:52:44,560 --> 01:52:48,200
Speaker 1: and again the Jets with all these injuries wide receiver wise,

2166
01:52:49,080 --> 01:52:53,280
Speaker 1: so many new faces, you know, without that crowd going wild,

2167
01:52:53,920 --> 01:52:56,960
Speaker 1: the communication in a sense should be a little bit better.

2168
01:52:57,080 --> 01:52:59,639
Speaker 1: They should be able to hear each other and try

2169
01:52:59,680 --> 01:53:01,639
Speaker 1: to get on the same page when they might not

2170
01:53:01,680 --> 01:53:05,080
Speaker 1: be otherwise. So I think that's a great point, Steve.

2171
01:53:05,120 --> 01:53:07,240
Speaker 1: It's something we're gonna have to watch week to week

2172
01:53:07,840 --> 01:53:10,280
Speaker 1: throughout the year and you know, even the stadiums that

2173
01:53:10,320 --> 01:53:13,080
Speaker 1: I'll have a handful of fans. What impact will that have?

2174
01:53:13,520 --> 01:53:16,160
Speaker 1: These are all questions that I think we're about to

2175
01:53:16,160 --> 01:53:19,160
Speaker 1: find out very soon, all right, Andrew, As always, thanks

2176
01:53:19,280 --> 01:53:21,160
Speaker 1: very much for the time and the insight. We look

2177
01:53:21,200 --> 01:53:23,160
Speaker 1: forward to seeing you up here this weekend. I'll be

2178
01:53:23,240 --> 01:53:26,720
Speaker 1: it at a distance, so good luck with the broadcast

2179
01:53:26,760 --> 01:53:30,000
Speaker 1: and we'll see you up here on Sunday. Always great

2180
01:53:30,000 --> 01:53:32,000
Speaker 1: being out with you guys and looking forward to getting

2181
01:53:32,080 --> 01:53:34,040
Speaker 1: up there this weekend. Thanks for having me, all right,

2182
01:53:34,479 --> 01:53:38,719
Speaker 1: Andrew Catalan Bills or Bills. He is during the preseason

2183
01:53:38,960 --> 01:53:41,120
Speaker 1: play by play guy on the TV for the preseason

2184
01:53:41,640 --> 01:53:44,120
Speaker 1: for the Bills, but CBS play by play broadcaster and

2185
01:53:44,160 --> 01:53:47,360
Speaker 1: doing the Bills Jets game on Sunday with Hall of

2186
01:53:47,439 --> 01:53:50,479
Speaker 1: Famer James Lofton, another good friend of the show. So

2187
01:53:51,120 --> 01:53:53,439
Speaker 1: they'll be kicking off the Bills twenty twenty season. And

2188
01:53:55,160 --> 01:53:58,840
Speaker 1: it's it's very interesting that I feel like we talked

2189
01:53:58,840 --> 01:54:02,160
Speaker 1: to Andrew more about how his job is going to

2190
01:54:02,360 --> 01:54:04,759
Speaker 1: change with no fans in the stands and the impact

2191
01:54:04,760 --> 01:54:07,400
Speaker 1: of no fans in the stands in turn, or the

2192
01:54:07,479 --> 01:54:10,720
Speaker 1: lack of impact with no fans that it could potentially

2193
01:54:10,720 --> 01:54:14,080
Speaker 1: have on the momentum and emotional shifts of a game. Yeah,

2194
01:54:14,120 --> 01:54:18,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna be different, that's all you can say. You

2195
01:54:18,280 --> 01:54:21,400
Speaker 1: know what's gonna look like. It's going to present some

2196
01:54:21,479 --> 01:54:23,599
Speaker 1: kind of atmosphere, but it's not going to be the same.

2197
01:54:23,640 --> 01:54:26,080
Speaker 1: I mean, and most of these teams, it has become

2198
01:54:26,120 --> 01:54:29,600
Speaker 1: commonplace for him to pipe noise into practices, so defenses

2199
01:54:29,600 --> 01:54:31,840
Speaker 1: know they've got to communicate a little bit differently on

2200
01:54:31,880 --> 01:54:33,800
Speaker 1: the field, and the offenses they get a little bit

2201
01:54:33,840 --> 01:54:37,000
Speaker 1: more quiet, so they can do that as well. Unless

2202
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:39,560
Speaker 1: you're the La Chargers, then you pipe the noise in

2203
01:54:39,600 --> 01:54:42,680
Speaker 1: for your offense and treated like a road game when

2204
01:54:42,640 --> 01:54:47,080
Speaker 1: you're home. That's the kind of you know. They teams

2205
01:54:47,080 --> 01:54:49,400
Speaker 1: have done that for a while, so it's not unusual

2206
01:54:49,480 --> 01:54:53,200
Speaker 1: to be playing or practicing with piped in noise. But

2207
01:54:54,640 --> 01:55:01,240
Speaker 1: noise does not equal emotion. Fans equal emotion, and emotion

2208
01:55:01,640 --> 01:55:05,520
Speaker 1: is the energy that you get without trying in a

2209
01:55:05,640 --> 01:55:08,880
Speaker 1: home game when you come down and you you are

2210
01:55:10,320 --> 01:55:13,600
Speaker 1: pumped up without even putting any effort into it. You

2211
01:55:13,640 --> 01:55:15,760
Speaker 1: don't have to waste the energy to kind of find

2212
01:55:15,800 --> 01:55:18,360
Speaker 1: some motivation to get you going. You're you're there. It

2213
01:55:18,520 --> 01:55:23,360
Speaker 1: triggers it and you're often running. Uh. Now you've got

2214
01:55:23,360 --> 01:55:28,640
Speaker 1: to find a way to conjure up some emotional content. Um.

2215
01:55:29,200 --> 01:55:33,400
Speaker 1: I know this too. I've seen it a lot when

2216
01:55:33,440 --> 01:55:36,840
Speaker 1: a team doesn't have all of a sudden, they're they're

2217
01:55:36,840 --> 01:55:38,680
Speaker 1: playing hard, they're playing they get like a ten or

2218
01:55:38,720 --> 01:55:44,800
Speaker 1: fourteen point lead, invariably the next series or two, they

2219
01:55:44,840 --> 01:55:47,800
Speaker 1: don't have any that emotional content. And that's what happens

2220
01:55:47,840 --> 01:55:50,760
Speaker 1: when that's the only difference there is. That team says

2221
01:55:51,960 --> 01:55:54,000
Speaker 1: a fourteen point lead and all of a sudden, it's

2222
01:55:54,040 --> 01:55:57,160
Speaker 1: a three point lead. Right, it's a it's a ten

2223
01:55:57,240 --> 01:56:02,000
Speaker 1: point lead or a four point lead because you let

2224
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:03,400
Speaker 1: your foot off the gas and all of a sudden,

2225
01:56:03,400 --> 01:56:05,840
Speaker 1: this bang bang bang touchdown, bang bang bang touchdown, and

2226
01:56:05,840 --> 01:56:08,200
Speaker 1: now you got to turn it back on somehow. That

2227
01:56:08,320 --> 01:56:11,760
Speaker 1: emotional content is sometimes the only difference in these games,

2228
01:56:12,200 --> 01:56:14,800
Speaker 1: and it's the one thing that carries you through to

2229
01:56:15,080 --> 01:56:17,320
Speaker 1: making sure that team doesn't get that first down or

2230
01:56:17,400 --> 01:56:19,680
Speaker 1: doesn't get that big play, or you do get that

2231
01:56:19,720 --> 01:56:23,240
Speaker 1: past defense, or do make that catch, whatever, call that

2232
01:56:23,400 --> 01:56:26,120
Speaker 1: play and execute it. The emotion is the only difference

2233
01:56:26,160 --> 01:56:28,960
Speaker 1: between it being a positive or a negative. And if

2234
01:56:29,000 --> 01:56:32,680
Speaker 1: you don't have that. Yeah, you got to dredge it

2235
01:56:32,760 --> 01:56:35,640
Speaker 1: up and from somewhere, and some of these guys aren't

2236
01:56:35,720 --> 01:56:37,720
Speaker 1: used to doing that. Yeah, all right, We're going to

2237
01:56:37,800 --> 01:56:40,480
Speaker 1: step aside here because when we return, we will finally

2238
01:56:40,520 --> 01:56:43,560
Speaker 1: get to the comments from one offensive coordinator Brian Dabele,

2239
01:56:43,640 --> 01:56:48,200
Speaker 1: who had an interesting comment about the unanticipated leadership role

2240
01:56:48,600 --> 01:56:51,520
Speaker 1: that Stefan Diggs has taken on on the offensive side

2241
01:56:51,520 --> 01:56:54,720
Speaker 1: of the ball, and he gives his take on what

2242
01:56:54,800 --> 01:56:59,040
Speaker 1: he's expecting from Jets defensive coordinator Greg Williams. That's coming

2243
01:56:59,120 --> 01:57:01,880
Speaker 1: up next here on Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health.

2244
01:57:01,920 --> 01:57:18,200
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Chris Brown, Steve Gasker with

2245
01:57:18,320 --> 01:57:20,760
Speaker 1: you final half hour of one Bills Live as we're

2246
01:57:20,760 --> 01:57:23,720
Speaker 1: taking you up until three o'clock, and we wanted to

2247
01:57:23,760 --> 01:57:29,040
Speaker 1: get to some comments made by offensive coordinator Brian Dable

2248
01:57:29,440 --> 01:57:34,160
Speaker 1: who addressed the media prior to the walkthrough practice today,

2249
01:57:34,520 --> 01:57:37,280
Speaker 1: and he had an interesting comment about Stefon Diggs, not

2250
01:57:37,320 --> 01:57:41,000
Speaker 1: so much about how he's meshing with the offense and

2251
01:57:41,880 --> 01:57:44,960
Speaker 1: the chemistry build in the passing game. He spoke a

2252
01:57:45,040 --> 01:57:48,400
Speaker 1: little bit more on the leadership role that Diggs has

2253
01:57:48,400 --> 01:57:51,320
Speaker 1: taken on, which isn't always easy for a new player

2254
01:57:51,320 --> 01:57:54,040
Speaker 1: on the scene, even a veteran, but according to Dable,

2255
01:57:54,600 --> 01:57:59,080
Speaker 1: Diggs has taken it head on. Well, it's first about

2256
01:57:59,080 --> 01:58:05,000
Speaker 1: getting to know the before anything. And he's, uh, he's

2257
01:58:05,040 --> 01:58:08,480
Speaker 1: really good man. Uh. He cares, you know, about his

2258
01:58:08,600 --> 01:58:13,080
Speaker 1: family and his kid and he's just he's a pleasure

2259
01:58:13,080 --> 01:58:16,200
Speaker 1: to be around as a guy. Um, he's he's got

2260
01:58:16,200 --> 01:58:20,280
Speaker 1: a lot of energy about him. Um and that and

2261
01:58:20,320 --> 01:58:21,960
Speaker 1: that rubs off on a lot of people. You know,

2262
01:58:21,960 --> 01:58:25,200
Speaker 1: it's hard sometimes when you're coming into a to a

2263
01:58:25,200 --> 01:58:28,520
Speaker 1: new place to go ahead and assume the role of

2264
01:58:28,560 --> 01:58:32,120
Speaker 1: a leader because you're really concentrated and focusing on the things.

2265
01:58:32,200 --> 01:58:34,560
Speaker 1: You know, you're learning a new playbook, you're learning your surroundings.

2266
01:58:34,560 --> 01:58:35,960
Speaker 1: You're not a rookie, you've been in the league for

2267
01:58:36,040 --> 01:58:38,080
Speaker 1: a while, but you're still kind of getting your bearings,

2268
01:58:38,680 --> 01:58:41,120
Speaker 1: um about yourself. I think he did a really good

2269
01:58:41,200 --> 01:58:44,280
Speaker 1: job with that. But he has he has really good

2270
01:58:44,320 --> 01:58:47,800
Speaker 1: moxie to him, and guys want to follow him. Um.

2271
01:58:47,840 --> 01:58:49,839
Speaker 1: You know as a player, he's a good football player.

2272
01:58:50,200 --> 01:58:53,600
Speaker 1: I'm glad we have him. Um, you know, look forward

2273
01:58:53,640 --> 01:58:57,080
Speaker 1: to the season working with him. I don't. I mean,

2274
01:58:57,280 --> 01:59:00,840
Speaker 1: it's not unheard of where player that are new to

2275
01:59:00,960 --> 01:59:05,960
Speaker 1: teams take on leadership roles. I just don't know if

2276
01:59:06,000 --> 01:59:09,080
Speaker 1: that was expected of him here, and it's kind of

2277
01:59:09,080 --> 01:59:12,520
Speaker 1: manifested itself. And I mean he's first in line and

2278
01:59:12,560 --> 01:59:15,160
Speaker 1: the individual player drills all the time, so he's leading

2279
01:59:15,240 --> 01:59:21,800
Speaker 1: by example. He demands perfection and precision on the field

2280
01:59:21,840 --> 01:59:24,880
Speaker 1: in team portions of practice. Whether he's you know, Josh

2281
01:59:24,920 --> 01:59:27,920
Speaker 1: throws him a ball instride on time, He's like, yeah, man,

2282
01:59:28,000 --> 01:59:31,040
Speaker 1: that's what I'm talking about. Like he reinforces that you

2283
01:59:31,120 --> 01:59:34,280
Speaker 1: did it right. And I love that. Like that's how

2284
01:59:34,320 --> 01:59:37,920
Speaker 1: he is out there. He is big on the precision

2285
01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:40,520
Speaker 1: of the craft. He comes in with some credibility as

2286
01:59:40,520 --> 01:59:43,040
Speaker 1: well because he's had a handful of really good seasons

2287
01:59:43,040 --> 01:59:45,640
Speaker 1: and has played at a high level and hits in

2288
01:59:45,680 --> 01:59:48,560
Speaker 1: his personality too. And part about part of that is

2289
01:59:49,720 --> 01:59:52,640
Speaker 1: it's one thing to come in and do it, but

2290
01:59:52,720 --> 01:59:55,160
Speaker 1: when it's that's who you are and you let the

2291
01:59:55,200 --> 01:59:58,040
Speaker 1: players know that's who you are, that's how you do things.

2292
01:59:58,080 --> 02:00:01,000
Speaker 1: It's not manufactured in any way. You're not trying to

2293
02:00:01,680 --> 02:00:06,120
Speaker 1: finger quote unquote finger quote fill a role of leadership.

2294
02:00:06,200 --> 02:00:10,280
Speaker 1: You are a leader. Uh, that's when it's the most effective.

2295
02:00:10,320 --> 02:00:13,760
Speaker 1: When you're a really good player, really talented player, an

2296
02:00:13,760 --> 02:00:17,400
Speaker 1: extremely hard worker, and you're an encourager to the guys

2297
02:00:17,440 --> 02:00:22,800
Speaker 1: around you by example and with your words. That's what

2298
02:00:22,840 --> 02:00:24,960
Speaker 1: it is. And if that's who you are, which it

2299
02:00:25,120 --> 02:00:28,640
Speaker 1: seems that's what who Steph digs is, it's a bonus

2300
02:00:29,000 --> 02:00:34,040
Speaker 1: and that is uh, you know, you gotta be who

2301
02:00:34,080 --> 02:00:36,880
Speaker 1: you are because if you're trying to be somebody you're not,

2302
02:00:38,400 --> 02:00:42,040
Speaker 1: the NFL locker room will uncover you immediately. They don't

2303
02:00:42,080 --> 02:00:45,960
Speaker 1: and it won't fly. And that's because it's who he is.

2304
02:00:46,040 --> 02:00:48,080
Speaker 1: It's it's like Brian Dabole says, you get to know

2305
02:00:48,120 --> 02:00:53,320
Speaker 1: the person first. When you get to know those guys, yeah,

2306
02:00:53,400 --> 02:00:57,360
Speaker 1: and that's who they are, then it's contagious. Then it is, yeah,

2307
02:00:57,360 --> 02:00:59,440
Speaker 1: I'm with this guy and that's you. You're you know,

2308
02:01:00,120 --> 02:01:02,160
Speaker 1: the lesser players, the players who are just trying to

2309
02:01:02,160 --> 02:01:04,840
Speaker 1: find their way or want to do they join guys

2310
02:01:04,920 --> 02:01:07,040
Speaker 1: like that and try to rise to that level. And

2311
02:01:07,160 --> 02:01:11,680
Speaker 1: that's great us, great spot to be in. Not surprisingly,

2312
02:01:11,960 --> 02:01:15,440
Speaker 1: Brian Dabele was also asked about what he is expecting

2313
02:01:15,920 --> 02:01:19,760
Speaker 1: to see from Greg Williams, the defensive coordinator, as he

2314
02:01:19,840 --> 02:01:23,040
Speaker 1: and Dabel will match wits on Sunday. And as we

2315
02:01:23,080 --> 02:01:25,280
Speaker 1: all know, as we've said several times on this show

2316
02:01:25,320 --> 02:01:29,800
Speaker 1: this week, Week one is quite simply a series of unknowns,

2317
02:01:29,920 --> 02:01:32,640
Speaker 1: and you learn the unknowns as the game unfolds and

2318
02:01:32,680 --> 02:01:35,880
Speaker 1: you have to adjust accordingly. So what is Brian Dable

2319
02:01:35,960 --> 02:01:39,880
Speaker 1: expecting from Greg Williams exotic looks on defense? Here's what

2320
02:01:39,920 --> 02:01:44,680
Speaker 1: he said. Greg Williams is an outstanding football coach. There's

2321
02:01:44,680 --> 02:01:46,800
Speaker 1: a reason why he's been in the league for twenty

2322
02:01:46,880 --> 02:01:50,640
Speaker 1: nine to thirty years. Has a wealth of experience and

2323
02:01:51,280 --> 02:01:54,640
Speaker 1: just has really good leadership skills about him. And he's

2324
02:01:54,760 --> 02:01:57,839
Speaker 1: very very smart in terms of the defenses that he employs.

2325
02:01:57,880 --> 02:02:01,200
Speaker 1: He has a lot of packages with different people coming

2326
02:02:01,240 --> 02:02:03,440
Speaker 1: in and out. And again, what we're going to have

2327
02:02:03,520 --> 02:02:06,280
Speaker 1: to do is make sure that you know our rules

2328
02:02:06,280 --> 02:02:08,920
Speaker 1: are sound because you never know what you're going to get.

2329
02:02:09,160 --> 02:02:11,880
Speaker 1: Um Really, in any game, you can do yourself scout

2330
02:02:11,920 --> 02:02:15,120
Speaker 1: and you can and really study the opponent, but with

2331
02:02:15,240 --> 02:02:18,320
Speaker 1: teams that have coordinators like Greg that change things up

2332
02:02:18,360 --> 02:02:20,600
Speaker 1: and mix things up, you're going to have to have

2333
02:02:20,600 --> 02:02:24,360
Speaker 1: a solid set of rules to make sure that we

2334
02:02:24,440 --> 02:02:28,080
Speaker 1: put ourselves in the best possible position. You know, as

2335
02:02:28,080 --> 02:02:29,840
Speaker 1: far as what he's going to do or not do,

2336
02:02:29,880 --> 02:02:31,320
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want to speak for Greg. I

2337
02:02:31,360 --> 02:02:34,800
Speaker 1: just know it's it's very challenging to prepare for Greg

2338
02:02:34,840 --> 02:02:39,560
Speaker 1: Williams defense because of just all the things that he

2339
02:02:39,640 --> 02:02:43,520
Speaker 1: has um not just the different calls, but the different

2340
02:02:43,560 --> 02:02:46,240
Speaker 1: packages that he has with his players and the utilization

2341
02:02:46,280 --> 02:02:48,880
Speaker 1: of them. It's definitely going to be a challenge for

2342
02:02:48,880 --> 02:02:52,320
Speaker 1: for all of us. He I mean, and Greg Williams

2343
02:02:52,320 --> 02:02:55,080
Speaker 1: isn't shy about mentioning he's got forty packages of defense.

2344
02:02:55,160 --> 02:02:56,840
Speaker 1: He likes to be varied and he likes to be

2345
02:02:56,920 --> 02:02:59,960
Speaker 1: multiple um. I thought that briant Able did a good

2346
02:03:00,480 --> 02:03:04,360
Speaker 1: good job last year in counteracting that by going into

2347
02:03:04,400 --> 02:03:06,120
Speaker 1: that no huddle right at the beginning of the game.

2348
02:03:06,160 --> 02:03:08,800
Speaker 1: It kept them locked in a personnel grouping and it

2349
02:03:08,960 --> 02:03:11,080
Speaker 1: had them on their heels. You want to reduce somebody's

2350
02:03:11,200 --> 02:03:13,840
Speaker 1: number of packages, you don't let him substitute, right. One

2351
02:03:13,840 --> 02:03:15,600
Speaker 1: of the things I saw from early in that game

2352
02:03:15,680 --> 02:03:18,400
Speaker 1: last year, in Week one, they knew Jamal Adams as

2353
02:03:18,400 --> 02:03:21,040
Speaker 1: a heck of a player, and what they did was

2354
02:03:21,080 --> 02:03:23,240
Speaker 1: they put you know, Pat DeMarco on the field a

2355
02:03:23,280 --> 02:03:26,120
Speaker 1: fullback and then they ended up putting DeMarco way out

2356
02:03:26,120 --> 02:03:28,600
Speaker 1: of the s And what happened was because of the

2357
02:03:28,640 --> 02:03:31,560
Speaker 1: package they were in, Jamal Adams followed DeMarco. So you

2358
02:03:31,600 --> 02:03:33,480
Speaker 1: took Adams out of the box, out of the middle

2359
02:03:33,520 --> 02:03:34,760
Speaker 1: of the field. You took him out of the middle

2360
02:03:34,760 --> 02:03:36,640
Speaker 1: of the field, which is something they found out early

2361
02:03:36,680 --> 02:03:39,560
Speaker 1: in the game that Okay, there Adams, that's the package

2362
02:03:39,600 --> 02:03:42,160
Speaker 1: they're in. If we've got DeMarco on and in this

2363
02:03:42,240 --> 02:03:45,720
Speaker 1: formation whatever, Adams is outside the box, so at least

2364
02:03:45,760 --> 02:03:48,840
Speaker 1: we're at least he's not coming up Josh Allen's grill.

2365
02:03:49,680 --> 02:03:52,000
Speaker 1: They may blut blitz somebody else, but he's a really

2366
02:03:52,080 --> 02:03:55,040
Speaker 1: good one and he's a great defense and he's a

2367
02:03:55,040 --> 02:03:57,240
Speaker 1: great run stuffer. So you get their fastest player on

2368
02:03:57,320 --> 02:04:01,680
Speaker 1: defense guarding your fullback out out on the edge. That's

2369
02:04:01,720 --> 02:04:04,720
Speaker 1: a win. Yeah, just before you even before you snap

2370
02:04:04,800 --> 02:04:08,520
Speaker 1: the ball, which is you know, he tells you something.

2371
02:04:08,560 --> 02:04:11,320
Speaker 1: That's kind of the gamesmanship that goes on between an

2372
02:04:11,360 --> 02:04:16,400
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator. The offensive coordinator used players formations, shifts,

2373
02:04:16,440 --> 02:04:21,040
Speaker 1: motions to find out what the defensive coordinator thinks about

2374
02:04:21,080 --> 02:04:25,160
Speaker 1: his offensive players. Once he gets inside that knowledge, he

2375
02:04:25,240 --> 02:04:27,480
Speaker 1: can start to deploy his players in a way that

2376
02:04:27,520 --> 02:04:29,800
Speaker 1: takes advantage of what the rules of the defense are

2377
02:04:29,800 --> 02:04:33,640
Speaker 1: and what they're gonna do. So I think this game

2378
02:04:33,760 --> 02:04:36,040
Speaker 1: is going to come out if the early storm, you

2379
02:04:36,040 --> 02:04:37,720
Speaker 1: know where, if these teams are gonna come out in

2380
02:04:37,720 --> 02:04:39,520
Speaker 1: the first couple of series and kind of say, okay,

2381
02:04:39,520 --> 02:04:41,280
Speaker 1: are we are we playing football the way we all

2382
02:04:41,320 --> 02:04:44,360
Speaker 1: know and understand football or is it gonna be like

2383
02:04:44,520 --> 02:04:48,080
Speaker 1: the wing t or the no huddle or the you know,

2384
02:04:48,160 --> 02:04:50,480
Speaker 1: the running shoot, What's what are we looking at here?

2385
02:04:50,520 --> 02:04:53,440
Speaker 1: Once they get into the rhythm of the game, then

2386
02:04:53,560 --> 02:04:56,400
Speaker 1: I think the continuity or lack thereof, is going to

2387
02:04:56,480 --> 02:04:58,280
Speaker 1: take over and say, okay, now we're in a position

2388
02:04:58,280 --> 02:05:01,320
Speaker 1: where we can adjust to what they're doing, and they

2389
02:05:01,600 --> 02:05:04,360
Speaker 1: and maybe the Jets or whichever team does not adjust

2390
02:05:04,400 --> 02:05:06,920
Speaker 1: well is going to be left behind, because that's where

2391
02:05:06,920 --> 02:05:08,400
Speaker 1: this game is going to be one and lost. If

2392
02:05:08,400 --> 02:05:10,680
Speaker 1: you can get through those first couple of series, get

2393
02:05:10,680 --> 02:05:13,160
Speaker 1: a handle on how this game's gonna go and have

2394
02:05:13,200 --> 02:05:15,600
Speaker 1: the ability to get your team to do something different

2395
02:05:15,600 --> 02:05:18,560
Speaker 1: and adjust on the fly, that's how the game's going

2396
02:05:18,640 --> 02:05:22,240
Speaker 1: to get one. Jordan Poyer was just named a team

2397
02:05:22,320 --> 02:05:24,600
Speaker 1: captain this week, first time he's going to be serving

2398
02:05:24,640 --> 02:05:27,560
Speaker 1: this club in that capacity and has been to do

2399
02:05:27,640 --> 02:05:30,360
Speaker 1: everything safety for this team for each of the last

2400
02:05:30,400 --> 02:05:33,080
Speaker 1: three seasons. He was on a zoom call with the

2401
02:05:33,120 --> 02:05:36,800
Speaker 1: media recently and commented on the honor it was to

2402
02:05:36,880 --> 02:05:40,960
Speaker 1: be named a team captain. You know, I was told

2403
02:05:41,040 --> 02:05:43,960
Speaker 1: early in the morning. I didn't really get to kind

2404
02:05:43,960 --> 02:05:47,280
Speaker 1: of reflect on it until my drive home. You know,

2405
02:05:47,360 --> 02:05:52,720
Speaker 1: extremely blessed, extremely honored, you know, be in situation and

2406
02:05:52,840 --> 02:05:57,040
Speaker 1: being named a team captain. So with that comes responsibility,

2407
02:05:57,040 --> 02:05:58,880
Speaker 1: and so at this point in my career, I believe

2408
02:05:58,880 --> 02:06:01,840
Speaker 1: that I'm ready for that responsibility. So you know, like

2409
02:06:01,840 --> 02:06:05,600
Speaker 1: I said, I'm extremely honored, extremely decided for about two

2410
02:06:06,920 --> 02:06:10,000
Speaker 1: kind of cool for him. Four of the team seven

2411
02:06:10,040 --> 02:06:13,520
Speaker 1: captains are repeat captains from twenty nineteen. He's one of

2412
02:06:13,560 --> 02:06:16,760
Speaker 1: the new ones, so it'd be interesting to see how

2413
02:06:16,800 --> 02:06:18,600
Speaker 1: he handles that role. But I mean he's one of

2414
02:06:18,600 --> 02:06:21,520
Speaker 1: those key communicators out there. I mean it's basically Tremaine Edmonds,

2415
02:06:21,520 --> 02:06:23,320
Speaker 1: Micah High, and Jordan Porter. Those are the guys doing

2416
02:06:23,360 --> 02:06:26,400
Speaker 1: all the gapping out there, unless it's somebody upfront doing

2417
02:06:26,400 --> 02:06:28,920
Speaker 1: the pass rush games. That's the only other person that's

2418
02:06:28,920 --> 02:06:32,280
Speaker 1: really talking whether it's Harrison Phillips or somebody else that's

2419
02:06:32,280 --> 02:06:35,920
Speaker 1: handling that stuff. But this is a guy that has

2420
02:06:36,880 --> 02:06:40,480
Speaker 1: unquestionably earned his stripes in the Bills uniform. It is

2421
02:06:41,240 --> 02:06:44,280
Speaker 1: as you might imagine. You can say it, and I

2422
02:06:44,280 --> 02:06:45,920
Speaker 1: don't know if anybody will kind of grat it is

2423
02:06:45,920 --> 02:06:48,760
Speaker 1: a big deal. It means a lot. It is a

2424
02:06:49,120 --> 02:06:52,080
Speaker 1: when I'll say it's intimidating. You step up in front

2425
02:06:52,080 --> 02:06:56,440
Speaker 1: of an NFL team meeting, it's intimidating. It is a

2426
02:06:56,480 --> 02:07:01,560
Speaker 1: tough crowd, a bunch of world class alpha males, alpha

2427
02:07:01,680 --> 02:07:06,640
Speaker 1: males not easily impressed. And to have a group like

2428
02:07:06,720 --> 02:07:10,560
Speaker 1: that vote you to be a captain, it is a

2429
02:07:10,600 --> 02:07:12,640
Speaker 1: big deal and it's I think it's a feather in

2430
02:07:12,680 --> 02:07:14,880
Speaker 1: the cap of anybody who's ever had it happened to them.

2431
02:07:15,440 --> 02:07:18,600
Speaker 1: Uh and uh, congrats to Jordan Poyer for being that

2432
02:07:18,680 --> 02:07:20,640
Speaker 1: kind of guy for the Buffalo Bills this year. Now.

2433
02:07:20,800 --> 02:07:23,840
Speaker 1: Poyer also addressed something that Steve has been just discussing

2434
02:07:23,840 --> 02:07:27,960
Speaker 1: and we talked about with Andrew Catalan, the no crowd noise,

2435
02:07:28,640 --> 02:07:31,960
Speaker 1: at least as we know it being natural because of

2436
02:07:32,120 --> 02:07:35,320
Speaker 1: no fans being in the stand. So Poyer was asked

2437
02:07:35,360 --> 02:07:38,440
Speaker 1: about his take on limited to no crowd noise this

2438
02:07:38,480 --> 02:07:40,320
Speaker 1: season and what that's going to be like. Here are

2439
02:07:40,320 --> 02:07:45,160
Speaker 1: his thoughts on that. Yeah, I think us, as you know,

2440
02:07:45,360 --> 02:07:47,200
Speaker 1: the players, you know, we still got to play. You

2441
02:07:47,240 --> 02:07:49,520
Speaker 1: know probably we you know, we know the certain fans

2442
02:07:49,600 --> 02:07:52,360
Speaker 1: that are they're being no fans, so um, you know,

2443
02:07:52,400 --> 02:07:54,880
Speaker 1: we got to continue to pre prep to to play.

2444
02:07:55,040 --> 02:07:57,960
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, the fans side of the game

2445
02:07:58,000 --> 02:07:59,720
Speaker 1: will take care of yourself, you know, down the road.

2446
02:07:59,720 --> 02:08:01,760
Speaker 1: But right now, you know, we understand the situation coming

2447
02:08:01,800 --> 02:08:04,720
Speaker 1: into week one, no fans in the game at the stadium.

2448
02:08:04,760 --> 02:08:07,120
Speaker 1: But you know that that can't I can't take away

2449
02:08:07,160 --> 02:08:09,480
Speaker 1: from from our prep throughout the week and uh, you know,

2450
02:08:09,520 --> 02:08:11,840
Speaker 1: continuing to get ready to play a game, because that's

2451
02:08:11,960 --> 02:08:14,800
Speaker 1: you know, ultimately, that's what we're gonna be doing. I do.

2452
02:08:15,000 --> 02:08:16,960
Speaker 1: I do agree with you though, Steve. I think there

2453
02:08:17,080 --> 02:08:21,040
Speaker 1: is an emotional wave. You know, It's almost like these

2454
02:08:21,080 --> 02:08:24,160
Speaker 1: players are surfers, and if they're taking it to the

2455
02:08:24,200 --> 02:08:28,760
Speaker 1: opponent and that crowd just gets into a froth, players

2456
02:08:28,800 --> 02:08:30,760
Speaker 1: can grab their surfboard and hop on that wave and

2457
02:08:30,800 --> 02:08:33,000
Speaker 1: it can carry them for about four or five the

2458
02:08:33,040 --> 02:08:35,760
Speaker 1: next minutes. In the regulation, the way it works is

2459
02:08:35,840 --> 02:08:38,520
Speaker 1: you start to get you ride that wave. By doing this,

2460
02:08:38,560 --> 02:08:41,320
Speaker 1: you're saying, I'm going to find a way to make

2461
02:08:41,360 --> 02:08:46,120
Speaker 1: that wave go higher. You think they're cheering, now watch this.

2462
02:08:46,720 --> 02:08:49,440
Speaker 1: That kind of mentality starts to take your roster over

2463
02:08:49,600 --> 02:08:52,320
Speaker 1: and every guy on the rosters thinking, oh, you think

2464
02:08:52,360 --> 02:08:55,320
Speaker 1: this is great. Watch this. It's like it feeds on itself.

2465
02:08:55,320 --> 02:08:58,120
Speaker 1: Then you got these guys flying around doing stuff. You know,

2466
02:08:58,640 --> 02:09:00,600
Speaker 1: it's just one big play in and you get another

2467
02:09:00,600 --> 02:09:02,920
Speaker 1: big play and the crowd gets higher and higher, and

2468
02:09:03,200 --> 02:09:07,440
Speaker 1: you're doing your best to keep it going and to

2469
02:09:07,600 --> 02:09:11,320
Speaker 1: keep it rolling. And so that's that's a huge momentum

2470
02:09:11,360 --> 02:09:15,480
Speaker 1: boost for a club, and it starts to steamroll and

2471
02:09:15,480 --> 02:09:18,400
Speaker 1: it starts to snowball when you get a lot of

2472
02:09:19,320 --> 02:09:22,240
Speaker 1: guys who want to be the next guy who gets

2473
02:09:22,280 --> 02:09:28,480
Speaker 1: the crowd in a frenzy. It's just when you're on

2474
02:09:28,520 --> 02:09:31,840
Speaker 1: the road going through that, you're thinking, you're just trying

2475
02:09:31,880 --> 02:09:33,280
Speaker 1: You're trying to stem it. You're trying to like, just

2476
02:09:33,320 --> 02:09:35,320
Speaker 1: don't let them do it. You know, you're totally in

2477
02:09:35,360 --> 02:09:38,920
Speaker 1: a defensive mindset, whether you're playing offense or not. You're like,

2478
02:09:39,000 --> 02:09:41,520
Speaker 1: just don't let anything bad happen. So that crowd goes

2479
02:09:41,560 --> 02:09:45,840
Speaker 1: crazy again and that's not the attack competitive mindset you want,

2480
02:09:45,920 --> 02:09:47,480
Speaker 1: but that's what happens to the team on the wrong

2481
02:09:47,560 --> 02:09:49,480
Speaker 1: end of it. Great time for us, but when when

2482
02:09:49,480 --> 02:09:52,960
Speaker 1: we return, we'll find out what we've learned from today's show,

2483
02:09:53,120 --> 02:09:56,480
Speaker 1: a jam packed edition. I can only imagine what less

2484
02:09:56,480 --> 02:09:59,160
Speaker 1: than one and two were today. We will find out

2485
02:09:59,200 --> 02:10:01,920
Speaker 1: after this on Bills Live, presented by Collid to Health,

2486
02:10:02,200 --> 02:10:21,560
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio Time for what have we learned?

2487
02:10:21,920 --> 02:10:25,400
Speaker 1: Brought to you by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental

2488
02:10:25,440 --> 02:10:29,280
Speaker 1: company of the Buffalo Bills. And on today's program, we

2489
02:10:29,400 --> 02:10:34,000
Speaker 1: had former Jets safety and current pregame Jets analyst on

2490
02:10:34,040 --> 02:10:37,840
Speaker 1: the Jets Radio Network, Eric Coleman, who talked to us

2491
02:10:38,080 --> 02:10:41,760
Speaker 1: about what needs to happen in twenty twenty for Adam

2492
02:10:41,880 --> 02:10:44,920
Speaker 1: Gasee to succeed and probably hold on to his job.

2493
02:10:46,960 --> 02:10:49,600
Speaker 1: This year, they improved offensive line. They drafted him Mackay Beckton,

2494
02:10:49,640 --> 02:10:52,120
Speaker 1: the big left tackle. You know, they brought on some

2495
02:10:52,280 --> 02:10:54,560
Speaker 1: veterans and I think that they're everyone was looking for

2496
02:10:54,600 --> 02:10:57,160
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold to take those leaps and bounds. You know.

2497
02:10:57,280 --> 02:10:59,800
Speaker 1: Ending the season six and two last year was a

2498
02:11:00,080 --> 02:11:03,800
Speaker 1: rate springboard into the offseason and going into this coming season,

2499
02:11:04,000 --> 02:11:06,040
Speaker 1: and I think that they're looking to build off of

2500
02:11:06,080 --> 02:11:08,280
Speaker 1: that momentum, and I think if they can do that,

2501
02:11:08,320 --> 02:11:10,160
Speaker 1: I think if Sam Darnold you see him take those

2502
02:11:10,160 --> 02:11:13,360
Speaker 1: strides and make those plays that everyone expected him to

2503
02:11:13,840 --> 02:11:16,960
Speaker 1: make after he was drafted out of USC, then I

2504
02:11:17,000 --> 02:11:19,400
Speaker 1: think that everything will be great. You know, everyone knows

2505
02:11:19,400 --> 02:11:22,560
Speaker 1: Adam Gas was brought here because of his offensive mind,

2506
02:11:22,760 --> 02:11:25,400
Speaker 1: because of his relationship with quarterbacks, and I think Sam

2507
02:11:25,440 --> 02:11:28,080
Speaker 1: Donald is really the key component to the growth of

2508
02:11:28,120 --> 02:11:31,400
Speaker 1: this team and for Adam Gays's success, I think it's

2509
02:11:31,480 --> 02:11:35,040
Speaker 1: unquestionably tied to the quarterback. We also heard more Jets

2510
02:11:35,080 --> 02:11:39,760
Speaker 1: analysis from Olivia Landis, who commented on Denzel mims ability

2511
02:11:39,840 --> 02:11:42,879
Speaker 1: to adapt to the Jets offensive scheme as a rookie

2512
02:11:43,000 --> 02:11:48,360
Speaker 1: with no spring camps. One thing that's really interesting that

2513
02:11:48,400 --> 02:11:51,480
Speaker 1: Adam Gays did mention about Denzel mint As he said,

2514
02:11:51,720 --> 02:11:54,600
Speaker 1: being a rookie, one of the toughest parts is learning

2515
02:11:54,640 --> 02:11:57,200
Speaker 1: that playbook. Like you said, that's one of the hardest

2516
02:11:57,240 --> 02:12:00,960
Speaker 1: parts when transitioning from college football to the NFL is

2517
02:12:01,040 --> 02:12:05,200
Speaker 1: learning an offensive scheme, memorizing a playbook, trying to understand

2518
02:12:05,240 --> 02:12:08,040
Speaker 1: the language, so I think he is going to have

2519
02:12:08,160 --> 02:12:10,560
Speaker 1: to ease him. They are going to have to ease

2520
02:12:10,640 --> 02:12:13,280
Speaker 1: him physically back into the game. But he's been taking

2521
02:12:13,280 --> 02:12:16,080
Speaker 1: team reps all week. He was integrated back into it,

2522
02:12:16,160 --> 02:12:18,760
Speaker 1: so I think you will see some of him. However,

2523
02:12:18,840 --> 02:12:21,400
Speaker 1: it's going to take time for a rookie to be

2524
02:12:21,440 --> 02:12:25,280
Speaker 1: able to comprehend an entire new playbook. But he is ready.

2525
02:12:25,360 --> 02:12:27,520
Speaker 1: He's healthy, so I think we will be seeing him

2526
02:12:27,520 --> 02:12:31,160
Speaker 1: on the field. I just don't see a big role

2527
02:12:31,200 --> 02:12:33,520
Speaker 1: for Denzel miss. He miss way too much camp. I

2528
02:12:33,520 --> 02:12:35,520
Speaker 1: don't know the hamstring injury to put him out there

2529
02:12:35,520 --> 02:12:37,800
Speaker 1: for a package of plays red zone. Maybe some other

2530
02:12:37,800 --> 02:12:40,400
Speaker 1: persons think des Bryant played for like four years in

2531
02:12:40,400 --> 02:12:42,840
Speaker 1: the league and ran three routes, a slant, a fade,

2532
02:12:42,840 --> 02:12:47,720
Speaker 1: and a go with a post. Maybe MS didn't run

2533
02:12:47,720 --> 02:12:50,440
Speaker 1: around tree at Baylor, right, That's what I'm talking about.

2534
02:12:50,480 --> 02:12:52,560
Speaker 1: I mean, and they know that, right, so he may.

2535
02:12:52,880 --> 02:12:56,640
Speaker 1: You know, he can run the hook, the slant, the fade,

2536
02:12:56,680 --> 02:13:00,000
Speaker 1: the go and a post as long as you can

2537
02:13:00,080 --> 02:13:02,040
Speaker 1: call that, and he didn't have to do anything else. Okay,

2538
02:13:02,200 --> 02:13:04,480
Speaker 1: when it gets into problems is when if they do this,

2539
02:13:04,640 --> 02:13:06,920
Speaker 1: you do this. You do that they do, you know,

2540
02:13:07,880 --> 02:13:09,440
Speaker 1: then it gets him to be problems, but you can

2541
02:13:09,480 --> 02:13:11,440
Speaker 1: put it. He'll certainly be. You gotta cover him if

2542
02:13:11,440 --> 02:13:14,080
Speaker 1: he's out there, whether he's into, whether his numbers called

2543
02:13:14,160 --> 02:13:16,240
Speaker 1: or not, whether he's the fourth option or the first option,

2544
02:13:16,240 --> 02:13:18,240
Speaker 1: he's still got to cover him. And he's a jump

2545
02:13:18,520 --> 02:13:21,600
Speaker 1: He's a jump ball, contested catch guy through and through.

2546
02:13:21,720 --> 02:13:24,760
Speaker 1: I mean he is not only six three, but he's

2547
02:13:24,760 --> 02:13:27,200
Speaker 1: got arms that make him seem like a six seven

2548
02:13:27,280 --> 02:13:29,600
Speaker 1: he plays. I mean he is a long limb dude,

2549
02:13:30,080 --> 02:13:33,280
Speaker 1: long legs, long arms that'll do it for us. Here

2550

Speaker 1: on a Thursday edition of One Bills Live. You thought
