00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: to get on the air. But we're here and we

34
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: got a good show coming up here today. And your

Speaker 1: day started really early. You got here, rolled out of

36
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: the car and immediately went to work on Facebook. Five.

37
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: We should talk about that. Let people know that every

38
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: once in a while you can go to social media

39
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: and get a look at practice for minutes of practice.

40
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: You did it with Chris Brown today, I did it

41
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: one day last week. We're gonna do it again on Friday,

42
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: the Red and Blue Row with Chris Brown. Yeah, and

43
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: it's pretty good. I mean, because people out and let's

44
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: face it, I'm we're Saint John Fisher and unless you

45
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: have a place to get to Saint John Fisher, a

46
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: way to schedule or live in the area. Although people

47
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: from North Carolina, South Carolina coming in Ohio you know,

48
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: up here today, but everybody wants to watch practice. So

49
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: it's a way to watch practice actually live as it's happening,

50
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: get on Facebook, and we're narrating it. We're talking about

51
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: different topics that happened during training camp and all of that. So, um,

52
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: I hope that when we come over there, you're you're

53
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: not hearing the same things we're hearing over our headphones.

54
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: We're getting we have a little technical problem here. Okay,

55
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: they're not hearing it, and I'm glad, um, But we're

56
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: narrating over the first part of practice. Obviously, we don't

57
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: air the practice live, but we talk. Chris Brown and

58
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: I talked today about the wide receivers and the quarterbacks

59
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: and the offensive line and the position battles that are

60
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: going on there. And it's pretty neat to come out

61
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: and just see it happen as it's going on for

62
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: people who can't get here. Chance to do it Friday

63
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: at six fifteen, Chris and I'll do it from New

64
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: Arafield at the return of the Bread and the Blue,

65
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: the practice inside the stadium, and then I believe next

66
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: Tuesdays the next one and it's me and Chris Brown again.

67
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: I think next Tuesday, maybe you and me. I don't know, Yeah,

68
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: it might be us. We'll be doing the early portion

69
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: of practice, the first few sessions of practice. Steve did

70
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: that today. We've got the recap from practice today. We've

71
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: got a pretty good show lined up for you today.

72
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: Calvin Benjamin is gonna join us at the bottom of

73
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: the hour. Bills veteran wide receiver acquired in the trade

74
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: on Halloween last year. Calvin Benjamin will join us. Austin

75
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: Pearl's going to join us in the one o'clock hour,

76
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: seventh round draft pick. You played against his dad several contemporaries. Yeah,

77
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: we haven't. Yeah, I have to go back and do

78
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: the schedule match. But yeah, there's no question we overlapped

79
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: by about like seven years. I think of his career,

80
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: his seventeen year career for four or five different teams.

81
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: He played in four Super Bowls, got a ring, had

82
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: a tremendous career. So his son, Austin Prole remember the

83
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills for this training camp, came through a circuitous

84
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: route to get to the NFL. But he's here, made

85
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: it into the draft and having a good camp. I

86
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: mean it's uh, there's a lot of guys in that room,

87
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: and I think all of those guys are progressing pretty well.

88
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: I think they're all very happy with the way this

89
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: camp's gone. For if you've come out to camp this year,

90
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,679
Speaker 1: last year, I think it's just the last two years.

91
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: Or if you're ever at a Bill's practice, you may

92
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: be amazed at the music. And we've got DJ Melkin,

93
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: DJ Yes, who are the DJs for the Bills practice

94
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: during the regular season, and here a training camp we're

95
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: gonna be joined by those two coming up in the

96
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: at one thirty today. Yeah, they're great, but they pump

97
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: it out loud. Well. Ask Austin Pearl about it. You

98
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: like having music in practice like that? I think many

99
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: teams are going to that, right, I mean everybody does.

100
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: When I travel around due games, they've all got it.

101
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: Even during regular season I mean it's it's on and

102
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: they've got a certain different different spots during practice and

103
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: they it's loud and it's the same. It's what you

104
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: would think. It's a it's a way to make the

105
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: players concentrate a little bit harder. Um. And it's funny too.

106
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: It's the right song comes on. It's distracting and you know,

107
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: you got to deal with it. And it's a waiting

108
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: the right song, you know, one that you like. Okay,

109
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: good song here, good song there, and it's not you

110
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: don't like, you know how it is, whatever playlist it is,

111
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: there's always songs you don't like. Then that one comes

112
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: on that you've been waiting for where that catches you

113
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: off guard. Guys will bust out into dance, you know,

114
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: be distracted, and that's part of the deal that they

115
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: got to stay focused and watch what they're doing when

116
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: they and there's something in their ear tugging at him.

117
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: It's everybody does it. It used to play noise and

118
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: play music to uh to mimic the sound that the

119
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: offense might hear around the road. That was how it started,

120
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: I think even ten fifteen years ago. Yeah, not that

121
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: way anymore. They just played through the whole practice for

122
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: the most part. Yeah, well they do it during team periods, Um,

123
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: they pump it up. Then when guys have to really

124
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: communicate in their their talking to each other about checks

125
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: and reads and alerts and stuff like that. And when

126
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: they do that, then you really kind of have You

127
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: can tell you guys got to look at each other

128
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: and focus and talk to each other sometimes read lips

129
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: or body language, that kind of thing. So it does

130
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: up the level of difficulty for these players and getting

131
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: just one more way they've got to know, one more

132
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: challenge they've got to overcome to play well. So that's

133
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: what's coming up on the show. We may get a

134
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: chance to talk with Chris Brown, Bills Insider from Buffalo

135
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: Bills dot Com today as well, and we want to

136
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: hear from you as well, and want to hear you

137
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: about whatever you want to talk about the training camp,

138
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,799
Speaker 1: your questions about what we've seen. We've seen six practices,

139
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: ye or now we're a week into it. We are

140
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: a couple of days away from the practice in Orchard

141
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: Park and eight days away from the first preseason game,

142
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: believe it or not, next Thursday, week from tomorrow builds

143
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: home against Carolina, and we want to hear from you

144
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: your questions we have because we have Austin Pole and

145
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: Calvin Benjamin later on today in the show, we thought

146
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: we'd keep the focus on receivers and it's a big

147
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: topic for the Buffalo Bills obviously this year receivers. Who

148
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 1: they got. Who's it going to be? You know, Calvin

149
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: Benjamin likely to be the number one our question on

150
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll. I think it is pretty interesting. After

151
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: Calvin Benjamin, whom we assume will lead the team in

152
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: catches by wide receivers. After Calvin Benjamin, which Bill's receiver

153
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: will have the most receptions at the end of the season,

154
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: and why I think we want to focus on receivers.

155
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: Somebody might say, well, it'll be Charles Clay. We're not

156
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: talking about tight ends here. Somebody might want to say

157
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Lashawn McCoy. We're not talking about backs.

158
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: I want to focus on receivers because it's a big

159
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: question mark as far as the roster makeup. Now, after

160
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: Calvin Benjamin, which Bill's receiver will have the most receptions

161
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, and tell us why

162
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: you can do that? On the telephone nine eight oh

163
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: three oh five fifty the number two call outside Buffalo

164
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: toll free at one eight eight eight five fifty two

165
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: five fifty after Calvin Benjamin, which receiver will have the

166
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: most receiving most receptions this year? On Twitter? The results

167
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: so far, forty two percent of you say Jeremy Curley sensible,

168
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: twenty nine percent of you say Zay Jones even though

169
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: he hasn't taken a snappy in training camp, twenty two

170
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: percent of you say another wide receiver currently on the roster,

171
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: and seven percent of you think a wide receiver who

172
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: is currently not on the roster. That was your suggestion,

173
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: what you because we're getting every occasionally, I mean, because

174
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: you think about where the Bills are now, and if

175
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: you look back at the second half of last season

176
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: and even the first half, but the second half of

177
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: last season where Calvin Benjamin was on the field and

178
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,119
Speaker 1: Jordan Matthews was on the field, those two guys weren't

179
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: even in training camp. Yeah, neither one of them. So

180
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: you take that and a lot of people on Twitter,

181
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: who we get a lot of feedback all you can imagine,

182
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: all the way around the clock, and a lot of

183
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: people chime in and say you know, I don't even

184
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: think the guy is on the roster that's going to

185
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: be the number two for the Buffalo Bills at the

186
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: end of training camp. There's always some surprise releases. The

187
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: waiver wire is always filled with names that you kind

188
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: of recognize, and it have been productive players, maybe mid

189
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: range veterans who you can sign who've been cut, and

190
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: a lot of people I don't know if I agree with,

191
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: or a lot of people believe that could yield a

192
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: good quality wide receiver, a guy quality enough to come

193
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: in and sign at the end of training camp. I

194
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: guess you know, a guy that's cut by somebody else,

195
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: you're going to come in and be essentially a starter.

196
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: You're number two. I don't know, not right away for sure. Yeah,

197
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: there's got to be an acclamation process and he's got

198
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: to go through the learning curve just like all these

199
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: guys have been doing through the offseason. But it will

200
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: be a condensed learning curve. And and it's happened before.

201
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: It happened last year with Jordan Matthews who was incorporated

202
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: into this offense. It happened when Kelvin Benjamin got incorporated

203
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: into this offense. And it happens with other players as well.

204
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: Offensive lineman tight ends who you name it, and it could,

205
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: it could. We don't know what's going to happen. Nobody

206
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: knows the future. But this staff and this and Brandon

207
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: Bean and the general manager has proven they're not afraid

208
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: to pull the trigger on that kind of stuff. We've

209
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: got a couple of names up there that makes sense,

210
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: Zay Jones, Jeremy Curley. As essentially, we're asking you for

211
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: your opinion, who do you think will be the second

212
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: wide receiver on this team and be a second in

213
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: receptions among the wide receivers at the end of the year.

214
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: There are a couple of names another wide receiver on

215
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: the roster. I might vote for that one, see because

216
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 1: there are a couple of other names I think bear mentioning.

217
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: One of them is Brandon Riley. I think Brandon Riley's

218
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: had a good camp a weekend. He's got a year's

219
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: worth of uh, you know, being around it last year,

220
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: a year on the practice squad for the most part

221
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: last year, and Brandon Riley is increasingly getting snaps at

222
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 1: the slot. That's what I'm trying to say. As a

223
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: slot receiver, a name to watch I think as the

224
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 1: camp moves along. Brandon Riley could wind up as a

225
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: as a force somewhat in this Buffalo offense. Another name

226
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: to watch, and he's been one of my favorites. If

227
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: you watched the show, you can I mentioned this guy

228
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: every day. Rod Streeter, I think has a chance to

229
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: be a contributor at the receiving spot and maybe wind

230
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: up at the end of the year a second on

231
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: the team in receptions as among receivers. That's what we're

232
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: talking about. So consider those names yesterday Jones, yes, Jeremy Curly,

233
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: but maybe Brandon Riley, you know, maybe Odd Street, both

234
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: of whom I think I've had pretty good camps. It's

235
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: a it's a wide open picture after Calvin Benjamin and

236
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: the reason we came to this question today is quite frankly,

237
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: because we had Calvin and then we had Austin Prowle,

238
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: and we're thinking who were missing? Right, there's good there

239
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: could be another receiver on this roster now, or maybe

240
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: on somebody else's roster who becomes an important part of

241
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: what the Bills are doing offensively this year. Right, and

242
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: and today we got a chance to see it because

243
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: they were in the two minute drill they were in

244
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: the third down drill, so they were throwing the football

245
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: all over the place, and and you talked to Calvin

246
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: Benjamin and he talked to Austin Prowle, and he looked

247
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: down the list and you see different guy Robert Foster,

248
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: who is a rookie free agent, was not drafted, who

249
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: has played. And you and I both said, he's done

250
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: some things in there. He's made some catches. Caitlin Clay

251
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: made a nice catch in front of me today, So

252
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: they're all getting their opportunities. And I was telling and

253
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 1: I said this on the Facebook live hit we did

254
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: this morning at eight forty five at practice. You know

255
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: the thing about this is everybody and me included, you

256
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: come watch practice and you get caught up and watching

257
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: the ball. You get caught up in what happens on

258
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: that play. And what you have to remember is that

259
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: when they evaluate this game, this film, and all these practices,

260
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: what you do away from the football is evaluated just

261
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 1: as closely and held in just as high of importance

262
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: as when the ball comes to you and you catch

263
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: it and run for a touchdown. What you did on

264
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: a play that went the other direction away from the

265
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: football is evaluated just the same, whether the ball comes

266
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: to you or not as a wide receiver or not,

267
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 1: whether the ball is thrown at your player as a

268
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: cornerback and you're covering him on the far side of

269
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: the field, even if he doesn't catch the football the

270
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: way you covered in your technique you used is evaluated

271
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, even if your guy falls down or whatever,

272
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: if you step to the right guy, if you're in

273
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: the right spot. All of this stuff is evaluated on film,

274
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: which means you can't hide it. Just because the play

275
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: went for a touchdown the other way. It doesn't mean

276
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: you're off the hook for the wrong route on the

277
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: far side. So all this stuff is taken into a counting.

278
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: So it's hard for you and me and any fan

279
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: to evaluate how good these guys are because we just

280
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: don't see all eleven guys over and over and over.

281
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: We don't run it back eleven times to watch what

282
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: every guy did. And they do that here, and what

283
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 1: we're asking you to do is to give us your

284
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: thought on who could be the Bill's second receiver this year.

285
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: The Twitter question after Calvin Benjamin, which Bills receiver not

286
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: tight end, not running back? Which receiver is likely to

287
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: be second in receptions by the end of the year.

288
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: We got phone lines open to talk about it. If

289
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: you'd like eight oh three oh five fifty or toll

290
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: free from outside Buffalo one eight eight eight by fifty

291
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: two five fifty. It can weigh in by a Twitter

292
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: and we'll read some of those tweets on the air,

293
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: and we'll keep checking the Twitter poll. In the meantime,

294
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: let's talk about practice today, A long one, Steve. It

295
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 1: was the longest practice of the sixth so far here

296
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: at training camp, extending I think almost close to eleven

297
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: am today started at eight forty five, went to at

298
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: least two hours, maybe a little bit longer, and going

299
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: in Sean McDermott said, that's what his plan was. He said,

300
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to challenge this team a lot today, going

301
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: to work hard on two minute drill and hard on

302
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: third downs. They did both of that, Yeah, they did.

303
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: They were on the field and they and as we

304
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: said yesterday, man, they they're doing something all the time.

305
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: You don't get a stand around very much. Uh. They

306
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 1: had a ton of team activities to team periods. I

307
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: had did some special teams as well, worked on their

308
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: kickoff return and their kickoff team. It was it was

309
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: a real practice. I mean, no matter what are you

310
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: come from, this was a this was a hard one

311
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: and uh it went on for a while. And this

312
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: is the longest I think it was a long no question,

313
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: was the longest practice of training camp. Yeah, it was long,

314
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: and it was fairly physical, and it was fairly detailed,

315
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: I thought. And you know, after a while, each man

316
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: a suspective. You're like, man, how much longer is this

317
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: gonna go? I mean I saw a couple of occasions

318
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: when there are officials here today too. By the way,

319
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: the NFL officials are in town, and they seem to

320
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: be throwing their flag on virtually every other every other

321
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: snape they were. But um, one time, one of the

322
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: Bill's tight ends, I think it was Kyrie Lee jumped

323
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: early and uh caught an earful from Sean McDermott. I

324
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: watched that pretty much close up. It was a kind

325
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: of a contentious There was a scrap. I think there

326
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: were two as a matter of fact, But it was

327
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: contentious in terms of being physical and competitive both sides

328
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: of the ball. Ryan Groy started out with the first

329
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: team at center today and did some altering alternation there

330
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: with Bodine, but it was the first time I've seen

331
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: Ryan Groy with the ones at the start. I watched

332
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: the nickel cornerback battle and that was pretty much evenly split.

333
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: Phillip Gaines, the veteran, gets some of those snaps, and

334
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: Taran Johnson and the quarterbacks. Of course, you want to

335
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: know about the quarterbacks. It looked to me like a

336
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: J McCarron got most of the first team reps today

337
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: not all. Nathan Petermen got with the twos and Josh

338
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: Allen got with the threes. Josh got one team segment

339
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: where he was with the ones. That rotation appears to

340
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: be the same, with fairly even number of snaps for

341
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: each one of them. There was one good run in

342
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: one of the early team periods, Steven. I think you

343
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: were at the other end of the field. I don't

344
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: know if you saw it. A really good run by

345
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: a running back who he's got a friend on Twitter

346
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: who keeps tweeting our show. He is a rookie free

347
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: from Texas A and m keith Ford who broke off

348
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: a run that went for about twenty five yards, showed

349
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: really good speed on it, and I was impressed, and

350
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: as soon as I saw it, I said, that's the

351
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: guy we keep getting tweets about. I just thought it

352
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: was a really good run by Keith Ford, a rookie

353
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: five ten, two hundred nineteen pounder from Texas A and

354
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: m obviously an uphill climb for a rout spot, but

355
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: a couple of nice plays like that, A couple of

356
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: nice runs I thought up the middle by him, and

357
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: a little bit later by Marcus Murphy who at good

358
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: moments as well. Yeah, we were going to talk about

359
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: this at some point in the show. We saw a

360
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: lot today from the offense. The last couple of days

361
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: has emerged as a little bit more productively. They've gotten

362
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: a few more big plays, They've had a more successful plays,

363
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: medium plays just looked more together. They're coming around. Yeah,

364
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: they're coming around. And as I've said this a ton

365
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: defenses kind of tend to develop a little faster in

366
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: training camp because you know, you get one guy that

367
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: has a great play, he can make up for six

368
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: guys who did the wrong thing on the play. I mean,

369
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: it looks better for the defense because all I have

370
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: to do is react, and if one guy makes the play,

371
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: the offense even if all eleven guys do the right thing,

372
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: looks bad because of this one defender. So the defense

373
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: has a head start in that regard in their development

374
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: because they can have one guy show up today though,

375
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: and this long practice is the first time where I

376
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: think it's starting to jail and they're starting to look like,

377
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: you know what, both sides of the football have some

378
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: things that they're doing really well, and now both sides too.

379
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: Once in a while, you'll see a guy running free

380
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: down the middle of the field and he's uncovered. They'll

381
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: blow a coverage or uh, you know, like Shady McCoy

382
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: or Chris Ivory. All of a sudden, there's a hole

383
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: the you know, the size of the hash marks. The

384
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: guy's running through there all by himself like it's a

385
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: it's a you know, like it's a runway out there.

386
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: So you know, a couple of times that happened, maybe

387
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: as many times for the defense as it did for

388
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: the offense. And then you have they also where you

389
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: have a tight window throw by the quarterback, a contested

390
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: ball it looks like a football play, and you have

391
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: some of that too, And for the first time today

392
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: you saw all that come together. You know, you've seen

393
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: dat times with a defense it looked like the offense

394
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: couldn't even get a throw off. And then all times

395
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: sometimes too where the offense is hitting touchdown after touchdown,

396
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: big play after big play. Today there was some development

397
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: you could see on both sides of the food they

398
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: didn't know during practice. Offense coming along, good runs today.

399
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: All right, A lot to talk about and coming up next.

400
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: Kelvin Benjamin, Bill's wide receiver. He'll be here with us

401
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: on the set. Steve and I are gonna take a break.

402
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: We're back of them more in a moment. One Bill's

403
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: Live from Bill's training camp, and this is Buffalo Bill's Radio.

404
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Bill's training camp. John Murphy Steve Cansker

405
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: was one Bills Live, joined by veteran wide receiver Calvin

406
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: ben Thanks for joining me, Scott Man, thanks for having me.

407
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: We're watching the last couple of days and people have

408
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: been noticing that, you know, the offense starting to make

409
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: some strides. I mean, I know the defense. I was.

410
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: It's old news that its always kind of takes off

411
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: faster because all I gotta do is react, right, But

412
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: now you guys are starting to execute a little better.

413
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 1: He's starting to get some guys open and the quarterbacks

414
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 1: are hitting some throws. Um, yeah, man, we're just coming

415
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: together as a team, I mean, just working, just watching

416
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: film together with the quarterbacks. I think we just get

417
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: on the same page. I mean, the old line have

418
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: to be be doing a tremendous drop with you know, giving

419
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: us some time to work and getting open. Man, they've

420
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: got three different quarterbacks getting essentially the same number of snaps.

421
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: You're you know with the ones. You even see all

422
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: three of them with the ones from time to time.

423
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: They can't be easy. I mean it's not. But at

424
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: the same time, you know, um, we kind of product

425
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: sells in the receiver room. Ask you know, we gotta

426
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: job with you. We gotta get open for you guys,

427
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 1: and we got to make plays with you guys. You know,

428
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: if they give us a chance to give us the

429
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: ball and we got to catch it and come down

430
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,479
Speaker 1: with it. You're in a unique spot. You're like the

431
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: only guy everybody says, well, okay, we got hint and then,

432
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: but but you've you've spent a lot of time with

433
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: You got thirteen guys in your room, and it's a

434
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: big room. There's a lot of guys in there and

435
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 1: they're trying to find there a lot of young guys

436
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: trying to find their way. But there's also you this Jeremy,

437
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: curly guys who've got a little, you know, time under

438
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: their belt. It's a little sense of what the atmosphere

439
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: is in the wide receiver room. I mean it's it's

440
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: a fun atmosphere man. You know, even with me, you know,

441
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: it's been a veteran, but I mean I can learn

442
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: a lot from the smaller guys. I mean, you know

443
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: how Curley runnings route, how you come out fast, and

444
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: how you just play fast. You know. I try to

445
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: incorporate that in my game and let my sides take

446
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: care of itself. And they do the same with me.

447
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: You know, also how I play big or how I

448
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: kind of body guys up. They kind of do it

449
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: and get the leverage off them. I mean it's a

450
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: great room, man. I mean, guys love to come to work.

451
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: I mean the atmosphere in the meeting rooms are fun

452
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: at the same time. You know, we learned and working

453
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: and um and everybody's coachable. You know, you got a

454
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: room full of guys that are coachable. I mean I

455
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: can I can work with that right. It's funny because

456
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 1: you know, you're six six, you know, and everybody said, wow,

457
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: it's great. Get him in the red zone, get him

458
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: on the sideline pass, to get him on the fifty

459
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: fifty balls and its it all sounds good because there's

460
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: a lot of tall guys in the league. But like yesterday, Wow,

461
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: they did it. Like that's all they did yesterday, threw

462
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: it up to you in the corner and you came

463
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 1: down with a bunch of them that that's something that

464
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: you gotta work on and take pride in. But your

465
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: height is actually you know, obvious, but there's a lot

466
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: of other stuff that goes into it as well. Yeah, definitely.

467
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: I mean, um, you know, coach, coach always come tell me, man,

468
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: you know we're gonna give you the chances. Were gonna

469
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: give you the chance even if you cover it. We

470
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: don't stay you. Try to get you a ball to

471
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: give you the chance to go get it. And that's

472
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: what I was doing. I was just trying to, you know,

473
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: just go get the ball for the quarterbacks man to

474
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: build their confidence, you know, to let them know that

475
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: I'm there for him and and we can build relationships

476
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: man forever come and Benjamin our guests joined this in

477
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,360
Speaker 1: our one Buffalo studio. Here at training camp, you talk

478
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: about using your body body enough. There was one play

479
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: during the middle of the practice team session today where

480
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: it was a short pass banner, but you got in

481
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: front of Matt Milano and I kind of felt bad

482
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: for Matt. There's nothing he can do. All right, You've

483
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: got the length, you've got the width, you've got the height.

484
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 1: And I said that the guy standing next to me.

485
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: It's kind of like basketball when you post up a

486
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: big guy down low, right, there's nothing you can do about.

487
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, definitely. UM. Coach movement too. The slot and

488
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: it was just twelve the ten yards sit over the

489
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: middle to try to get the sticks. And on the

490
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: third down and uh, all I do was push up

491
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: and I just boded the guy and uh and the

492
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 1: quarterback guns and the right it to my chest. Who

493
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: spend the defensive back that you've gone against in your

494
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 1: NFL career, who has played you the best at those

495
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: kind of situations? Like is it a physical guy, big

496
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: physical guy that out there? Um? I think, um, Luke

497
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 1: just playing more smart? Um it was Luke Keithley. When

498
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: I was at the Panthers, but not a corner. Not

499
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: a corner was moment back and well I'm working at

500
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: the middle because I mean, but he just he just

501
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: he was smart. He was smart, so he knew, he

502
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: knew how he knew the field. He always what would

503
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: he do? He like, body try to get in front

504
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: of you. How would he He wouldn't let me body in.

505
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: He would trying to almost kind of stay on my

506
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: side and stay text it on my shoulder, you know,

507
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: so he could always get that arm around or something

508
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: to knocked the ball out. It's one of the things

509
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: about it too, is this camp. But we didn't know

510
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: this a year ago because all four guys in the

511
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: secondary were brand new here, you know, Micah Hide, Jordan Poyer,

512
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 1: and Tredavius was a rookie. Now, all of a sudden

513
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: you get out there. It's pretty good going against those

514
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: guys every day in practice, right, I mean, that's got

515
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: to be a plus for the rider itals man. I mean,

516
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: even when we're doing things where we've got you know,

517
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: switch releases and stuff, you could just tell their communication

518
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: in that bad field is just it's tremendous because those

519
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: guys got so much chemistry together that I mean, and

520
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 1: you can see the play out there, man. I mean,

521
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: even just competing with them every day, they're making us better,

522
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 1: you know. Um, I mean we thought we was gonna

523
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: come in and get a lot of zone this camp,

524
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 1: but actually we're getting a lot of man you know,

525
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 1: be man press coverage, and that's what we're gonna get

526
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: during the season. You know, guy's gonna try to press

527
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: us and players, man, and that's what the wind. It

528
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 1: drives me crazy, Just drive you crazy. After plays over

529
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: and starting to walk back, guys still come up knocking

530
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: the ball out of your hands and stuffing. Come on, man,

531
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: I score. Oh yeah, definitely, man, you know, but that's

532
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: what Dermot he got that defense on. I mean, I

533
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: think it's gonna help us in the long run, you know,

534
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: to keep holding the ball so we won't to put

535
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: balls on the gound and um you know have those

536
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: unnecessarily turn uples. Vin coach mcdermots sid going into today's practice,

537
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: he was gonna challenge you today with third down offense

538
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: and uh and a lot of two minute offense. Is

539
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: that what happened? Did you run a lot of that

540
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: out there? Oh yeah, definitely? Uh yeah, it was one

541
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: of the biggest scripts that we had a long practice. Yeah, definitely. Um.

542
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: I mean, but guys did it good man. I mean,

543
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: guy was coming out the ball running, you know, getting

544
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: that extra condition and running back to the huddle. I mean,

545
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: I feel like we broke the huddle pretty fast, and

546
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: you know, we were just trying to keep the defense

547
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: on their toes and try to just line up before

548
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: they can line up, and just you know, and just

549
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: just get the temple going. So you came in, and

550
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: Murph and I boast know that you came back. You

00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 1: a chance to get that under your belt, and then

553
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,439

600
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: talk a little bit now coming out. The big story

601
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: out of this is, you know which one of those

602
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: guys you caught balls from? All these quarterbacks? Josh you

603
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: got the big arm, and AJ's got a lot of

604
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: experience in the league. Peterman, you've worked with him all

605
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: through last season. Talk a little bit about you know,

606
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: I always know that the quarterbacks always they kind of

607
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: try to get to know every receiver and how they

608
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: run rounds. Had What about you catching the balls from

609
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 1: all three of them? Obviously it's three different guys throwing it.

610
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: Just what's the difference to you? Doesn't make a difference

611
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: who's back there, It doesn't. It doesn't because I probable

612
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: myself on catching the ball foot, you know, if it's

613
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: a low ball, highball, fast ball. You know, I'm trying

614
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: to I'm trying to just build that quite a best

615
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: confident they say, you know, because that's all it is.

616
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: I mean, if you have your quite a best saying,

617
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,719
Speaker 1: you know, I got the best wide receiver over here,

618
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: and I trust him, you know, in front of any dB,

619
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: you know, any linebacker, any safety, and and he give

620
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: me that chance to throw it up, I'm going to

621
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: get it for him. Kel But there was only a

622
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: half season for you with the Bills last year, right,

623
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: you came over around Halloween, but you played in some

624
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: memorable games, including the snow game against the Colts and

625
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: caught a touchdown pass in that game. Tell us about

626
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 1: that playing, just what you learned about this team and

627
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: about this town and the fan base from that game

628
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: against the Colts. I mean it was crazy, man. I

629
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: mean even going out there, just seeing like the snow

630
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: and the ice and the beards and just how long

631
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: they've been up there and being out there, you know,

632
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: just getting ready for us to come out, and it

633
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: was insane man. You know. But when I went on

634
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: the fielding I've seen that snow, you know, I was

635
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: just trying to get into it. It was my first

636
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: snow game. I mean, I was hyped. I mean that

637
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: was my first game coming back off my injury, and um,

638
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: I mean I just want to, you know, make the

639
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: best of it. I mean. And then on that play,

640
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: you know, I told coach like, yeah, man, I feel

641
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: like he can't he can't move his feet good in

642
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: the snow, and like we could just go over top

643
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: of him. And he was like, all right, we called it.

644
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: I went over top the first time I completed it,

645
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: got two feet down, and we went right back at it.

646
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 1: I was saying, drive, you know, I was thinking many

647
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: rechievers be like, oh, I don't want to play in

648
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: this your body type, the way you play that might

649
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: play into your game a little bit, right, Yeah, definitely,

650
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 1: because I mean dbs can't move like they can't you know,

651
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: on regular grass and on regular turf. So I mean,

652
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: definitely just just go up and get the ball and

653
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,239
Speaker 1: playing out the playing out the higher point. I mean,

654
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: it was even tough to see it. But you know,

655
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 1: like I said, I was gonna make I wouldn't make

656
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: sure I catch that phone. Never say never, but that

657
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: that game that you played in against the colstive. We've

658
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 1: been Murph's a life for here and I've been here

659
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: for thirty years. Wow, the ain't never been a game

660
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: like that for real. There's practice like that, not like that.

661
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 1: That's crazy. I thought I thought that was a no, No,

662
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: it's never been because you know what you know, it's like,

663
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you'll get a bad day like

664
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: but you'll never be practicing it, guy, or you'll never

665
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: be playing not a you know, even if it had

666
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 1: happened four hours earlier. Then it cleared the field. You know,

667
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: you've I've seen some games there where there was snow

668
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: piled up around the sides of the field, but the

669
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: field was clear. Never have there has there been a

670
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: game like that. It was it was pretty cool to

671
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: say something and even like in pre game it wasn't

672
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: even out there yet, right. It hit right right at

673
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: game time. Yeah, you guys left and before you got

674
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: out there was like three inches of snow on it.

675
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it hit and it hit like like it

676
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: does in Buffalo. Hey, coming, nut, let me get you

677
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: in on the question we're asking the listeners today. We

678
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: assume that you're going to lead the team as far

679
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: as receivers in number of receptions by the end of

680
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: the year, But we can't figure out who might be

681
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: number two receivers, who might finish with the second most receptions?

682
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: Any candidates your mind? I mean, is it Curly, is

683
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: it Brandon Riley? Is it Austin Prawle, Is it Street

684
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: or Rod Streeter? Maybe? What do you think? I mean,

685
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: that's a hard decision because I know, um, you know,

686
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: we work a lot of we work a lot of

687
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: tight ends. You know, work a lot of the big

688
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: tight ends too, you know, So you got to throw

689
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: Clay in there. Uh. I mean, even shady Shady gonna

690
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: definitely have some good recepts. He's gonna get his too,

691
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Um, But um, Curly Curly

692
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: man at the elf man, he quickness, you know how

693
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: to get open. You know how to play off that leverage,

694
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: and that's what you need at your elf. And um,

695
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: I mean hopefully, you know, hopefully he's a he's a

696
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: gonna be back by the time. You know, he's as

697
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: owns he's he's he's a tremendous young player man in

698
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: his league. He's gonna he gonna make plays for us,

699
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna be big for us too. Yeah,

700
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: it's a lot of guys in the room right now.

701
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: He keep track of it. And he got three quarterbacks

702
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,239
Speaker 1: taking reps, So it's it's a cast of thousands right now.

703
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: It's hard to get any chemistry, it is. But by

704
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: the same time you're getting regular reps, you're going in

705
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: with the ones, but you're seeing all three quarterbacks. How

706
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: many different guys have you been with the one? Mean,

707
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: you've been with Curly in the slot, You've been with

708
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: Riley in the slot, You've got the Street now on

709
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: the playing the U the Z over there, I guess

710
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: is that really? Yeah? So you've got is there anything

711
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: to that that you know? The continuity is just not

712
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: there yet because there are so many guys and you're

713
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: just kind of waiting to find out. Um, I mean no,

714
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: because I mean right now, you know it's that it's

715
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: that camaraderie right now. So I mean we want we

716
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: want once we get in the room and watch film. Man,

717
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: you know, I tell the guys, man, even if I

718
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: got to clear out for you guys, I'm gonna I'm

719
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: gonna clear out that rot to open up to you guys.

720
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So I expect the same

721
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: for me, you know. And um, I mean we brought

722
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: ourselves on brotherhood. Man, we pray out to every practice.

723
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: I feel like coach Terry bringing us together as a brotherhood,

724
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: you know. And that's what you need in the receiving

725
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: room because it can't be a receiving room that's you know, selfish.

726
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: You know, you got to work to get that, get

727
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: the other player over some time. Terry or biskis like

728
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, he's like, oh you've been around, You've

729
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: been around. What are you getting from him? I mean, man,

730
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: just just hard, just hard, just grit, just just real coaching,

733
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: what we need to work on. I mean, even I

Speaker 1: degrees eighty two et three degrees, some sunshine during practice,

744
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: clouding up now. I do check the forecast. Even the

745
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: forecast said we could be in for showers or thundershowers

746
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: later today, which is fine. We'll be out of here.

747
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: Practice is over right, No, I mean, who cares you care?

748
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: People get rained up there, all right. We need a

749
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: little rain. We need to rain here. It's still warm

750
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: and it's it's it is a nice day and it is,

751
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: but it is clouding up. It is gonna get bad,

752
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: but it's it's toasty warm, that's for sure. Talking receivers

753
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: today want to hear from you about it. A receiver.

754
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: Note from New England's training camp. Jordan Matthews, who we

755
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: talked about earlier on this show, is apparently in line

756
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: to be released maybe soon by the New England Patriots.

757
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: They they brought in or they talked to Eric Decker

758
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: and they may still be talking to him, and there's

759
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: speculation that that means that the end is near for

760
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: Jordan Matthews. He had the injury plague season here with

761
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: the Bills last year when he was acquired right around

762
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: this time, I think, right a little later than this.

763
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he um. And also they said that he's

764
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: got a pulled hamstring. Now he did that Sunday's practice.

765
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: Apparently he is on his way out of New England.

766
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: Will follow that as that moves along. But Bill's receivers,

767
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: you just heard Calvin Benjamin. I think it's a safe

768
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: bet that, you know, barring any unforeseen injury, Calvin Benjamin

769
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: will lead this team in receptions by a wide receiver,

770
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: don't you I would? Yeah, I think that's I think

771
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: that's the plan of the role. And let's face it,

772
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: he's the most physically gifted the bunch they have in

773
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: the stable right now. He's the guy that's established, and

774
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: he was here last year, and let's face it, we

775
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: saw it yesterday, Murf. We talked to Kelvin about it.

776
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: When you see him in the red zone, that guy's

777
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: a target, yeah, I mean an obvious win in a

778
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: one on one situation. And in these days in the NFL,

779
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: you can dictate a one on one matchup down there

780
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: in the red zone and they're gonna do it. They're

781
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: gonna throw it to him. He really I asked him

782
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: the question who handled because I did. I watched Mulanno today,

783
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: just struggled. You can't get around Calvin Benjamin short pass.

784
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: Kelvin talked about a third down pass he got to

785
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: the sticks, you know, got the first down, he already

786
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: turned around and just planted himself there and the quarterback

787
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: found him. But Milanna was the one who was in trouble.

788
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: Mlanna couldn't get around him. And I asked Calvin a

789
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: minute ago, you know who handled that best, and he

790
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: said Keikley. I mean I was thinking corners. I asked

791
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: what cornerback handled that best, handled you best, and he

792
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: said it was Keikley. In practice, I might add at Carolina,

793
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: who could who could position himself not to be posted

794
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: up essentially what Calvin Benjamin is doing. Yeah, and it's

795
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you see, we're out there and we see him.

796
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: Most of these guys are large sized guys anyway, but

797
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: Kelvin Benjamin, he's nine feet tall. I mean, he is

798
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: so big. And it's not just height, its length, right. Yeah,

799
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: he's got yeah, I mean he can he can punch

800
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: it from the other side of the ring, you know.

801
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: So it's he's got a big reach, he's got a

802
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: big body. And you put him out there, even against

803
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: a full size a full size safety, he's a huge

804
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: height advantage unless you put a guy. Well, here's the thing.

805
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: You can't put the guys who match up with him

806
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: physically out there, because you'd be putting you know, Tremaine

807
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: Edmonds out there on him, you know, the six six guy,

808
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: and he can't keep up with him. And he's not

809
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the shifty hips. So if you're big

810
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: enough to cover him, you're not fast enough for shifty

811
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: enough to stay with him. And if you're if you're

812
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: big enough to physically match up, you're not shifty enough

813
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 1: to stay with him. And if you're shifty enough to

814
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,399
Speaker 1: stay with him, you're not big enough to cover him.

815
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 1: And that's what he brings to the table. And they

816
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: showed a big time yesterday in yesterday's practice, and like

817
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: you said, a little bit in today's practice. And I

818
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: think when they start to hone in on who the

819
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: quarterback is going to be, whoever it is, is gonna

820
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: know exactly what they can and can't throw to Calvin

821
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: Benjamin when he's covered and he's he's open, when he

822
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: when everybody else is not open. We're talking about receivers today.

823
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: That's our Twitter poll. We want to from you, and

824
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: we've got phone lines open for this. After Calvin Benjamin,

825
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 1: which Bills receiver receiver, not tight end, not running back.

826
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: Which Bills receiver will have the most receptions at the

827
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: end of the season, and tell us why you have

828
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: time to do that on the phone lines eight o

829
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: three oh five fifty and toll free one eight eight

830
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty, or you can do

831
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: it on Twitter at one Bills five. Our Twitter poll,

832
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: forty two percent of you say Jeremy Curley will have

833
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: the second most receiving receptions this year for the Buffalo Bills.

834
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: Twenty eight percent of you say, Zay Jones. Twenty three

835
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 1: percent say there's another receiver on the roster that we're

836
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: not naming, and we'd love to hear who you think

837
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: that is. And seven percent of you say it's a

838
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: receiver not on the current rochet roster, in other words,

839
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: a guy they're going to pick up by a trade

840
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: or off the waiver wire. I think that's unlikely, but

841
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: let us know what you think. Eight o three oh

842
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: five fifty and toll free one eight eight eight five

843
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty. What do you think did the

844
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: Bills look sideways at Jordan Matthew is a guy who

845
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: came in, helped him establish the culture a year ago.

846
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: They've got thirteen guys they like in the room. Um,

847
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: you mean to Braham here, Yeah, I kind of doubt that,

848
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: I do. You know why because you can't count on

849
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: him being healthy. Well now, yeah, he was. He was

850
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 1: very healthy up until the time the Bills got him,

851
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 1: and then fifteen minutes into his career after he became

852
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: a Buffalo Bill, he's been injuried over there. And that's

853
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: the that's the way it is. And plus that you

854
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: got to know and they don't just say this because

855
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 1: they say it, they prove it when they signed these

856
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: guys to contracts. They like the guys they have in camp.

857
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: They like him. That's why they went out there, signed

858
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: him to this contracts, negotiated a deal with him, and

859
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: brought them into camp and drafted him. In some cases,

860
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: you've got a guy like Robert Foster who came here,

861
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: who played for Brian day Ball in this offense last

862
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: year in Alabama, who was signed as a rookie free agent.

863
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: There are things about each of these players on this

864
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 1: roster that the Buffalo Bills really like. And to think

865
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: that there may be a guy out there who entices him,

866
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: I don't know that that guy's out there. I don't know.

867
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: Not now. It doesn't appear. Yeah, not at this point

868
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: of the season. No. Now, Certainly, as cutdown days start

869
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 1: to happen, there's gonna be a lot of guys out

870
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: there that are going to raise your eyebrows because you're

871
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: gonna recognize their names. But other than that, I think

872
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: there's no question at this point the Bills like the guys,

873
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,919
Speaker 1: the thirteen guys they have on the roster. Plane wide receiver,

874
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: So do it for us? Name the guy the receiver

875
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: who will be number two in wide receiver receptions this

876
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: coming season for the Bills. Give us a call eight

877
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: O three five fifty and toll free one eight eight

878
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty. On the tweet sheet

879
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: from Wandering Jack says, I voted for Curly. He has

880
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 1: a slick vet slot wide receiver, knows how to get open.

881
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 1: I hope Zay Jones can rebound, he says, but I'm

882
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,439
Speaker 1: still saying Riley will make noise this year. That dude

883
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: wants it and he won't be stopped. Riley could end

884
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: up being the number two outside wide receiver before the

885
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 1: year is over, and it could be, it could be

886
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 1: he could be the slot guy when the season begins.

887
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 1: Quite frankly, Brandon Riley, I think they like what he's doing.

888
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 1: And this is this is the typical tweet sheet we

889
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 1: get all kinds from sipping the kool aid. Our friend

890
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: back from yesterday. I would like, really like to say

891
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 1: Zay Jones but missing OTAs and the start of camp

892
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: has got to have him behind. I'm gonna go out

893
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: on a limb and say it's gonna be Brandon Riley.

894
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: Just something about this kid, I like he seems to

895
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 1: have the McDermott DNA and reminds me of a taller

896
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman type. And so there you go. I mean,

897
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: I don't think the same question. Brandon Riley has had

898
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: the kind of camp so far that he had last year.

899
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 1: Last year, most people like you and me, most people

900
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: saw Brandon Riley explode onto the scene in the preseason games.

901
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: Remember he came out, he was catching every he made

902
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: tough catches in traffic, did some things that quite frankly,

903
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: no other wide receiver on the roster was doing, and

904
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: it kept him around for the entire year. We'll see

905
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: if that if his game is elevated enough to make

906
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: him an active part of the roster from from week

907
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: one on today, it's kind of receiver day for us.

908
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: We should get Brandon Riley on the show someday down

909
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: the road here at Saint John Fisher, just to talk

910
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: to him about that his camp. See what he does

911
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: Friday night in the Return of the Blue and the

912
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: Red Tower. Field. Would be interesting to see what the

913
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 1: top receivers hitting the field are gonna be. Obviously it's

914
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 1: gonna be Kelvin Benjamin. We expect it to be Jeremy

915
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 1: Curley could be Brandon Riley in the slot or and

916
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,399
Speaker 1: then the third guy, whoever that's gonna be, it could

917
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,479
Speaker 1: be Rod Streeter. Today it seemed to be Rod Street.

918
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: Streeter got reps with the ones today. You see that.

919
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: I was happy to see that. And we have seen

920
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: him every time you see him do something, you see guys,

921
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: young guys do it and they think, wow, that was

922
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: a nice play by that kid, and and wow, he

923
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: kind of that was the first time I've really seen him.

924
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: But you see Rod Streeter do it, it looks like, well,

925
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 1: that guy's been doing this for a while. You know,

926
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: you don't say kid, yea, he's a vat right, But

927
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 1: he also has a look about him where he says,

928
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: this is just another day at the office for me,

929
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: and this is how I play. And for the most part,

930
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: it's exactly right. And that's why last year me included,

931
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: I thought, wow, this is his year. He's gonna be

932
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: the guy here. He's gonna be the guy next to

933
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins at that time. He's gonna be the guy

934
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: who steps up. And then, of course, the the unfortunate

935
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: injury took him out of all, took that all away

936
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: from him. Now he's back looking exactly like he did

937
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: a year ago, and kudos to him for coming back

938
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: like that. More from the tweet sheet from Daryl F

939
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: twenty nine. When we asked the question who's going to

940
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: be the second wide receiver, he says, I'm saying Curly

941
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: because he's the most accomplished receiver after Benjamin. Also, I

942
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: think the slot receiver will be pivotal in this offense,

943
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: given the day ball has a Patriot's background. Slot receivers

944
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,919
Speaker 1: have excelled for years in New England. That's a really

945
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: good point. That's a really good point. And even when

946
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 1: we had Kelvin here a minute ago, and when I

947
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: asked the question about the pacity caught against Milano, he

948
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: was he was lined up in the slot. But he's

949
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: right the guy on Twitter's right, Daryl F. Twenty nine. Look,

950
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: we're getting the first few glimpses of Brian Dable's offense

951
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: right the six practices here. One thing that I've I've

952
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 1: noticed for sure, Steve, is that they are going to

953
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: throw it over the middle. They didn't do it with Tyrode.

954
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: They are going to throw it over the middle to

955
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: the slot, to the tight ends. You know, Clay's has

956
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: a lot of catches in the practices so far. The

957
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: other tight ends have had a lot of catches too,

958
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: O'Leary and the others logan Thomas, they are gonna goa

959
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: throw it over the middle, yea. And also a couple

960
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: of things I noticed today, Murph. And you'll be able

961
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: to say whether you agree or not this year. Like today,

962
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: I said earlier, Klin Clay caught a ball right in

963
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 1: front of me. The ball was halfway towards Kaylin Clay

964
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: before he even stopped and turned his eyes around. I mean,

965
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 1: the ball was through it. Peterman. Peterman threw a deep

966
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: out route come back and it was out on time.

967
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: He was coming back down as his eyes came around

968
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: and started back down the stem of his route towards

969
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: on the sideline. The ball was about fifteen feet from

970
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,839
Speaker 1: him on a twenty five yard pass. That's that's how

971
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: it works. We saw far too little of that a

972
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: year ago. I mean, the guy had to be open

973
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: and coming back before the ball was even released, and

974
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: that's just too late. You know, you end up on

975
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: an eighteen yard comeback that you go out and you

976
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: run it to twenty two yards turn around and come

977
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 1: back down the sideline. You catch it at eighteen. They

978
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: were catching it at twelve because that's where the ball

979
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: was released. It had you know, they were already out

980
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: of their break coming back before before it was being released,

981
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: so that that throw to me, right, there was a

982
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:04,800
Speaker 1: big difference in this offense and something that that's and

983
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: you saying you know you're hit. They're hitting twelve fifteen

984
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: yard crossing routes as well, and the ball's coming out

985
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: on the break um. It looks different this offense, and

986
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,720
Speaker 1: I think the ride receivers and the way they're catching

987
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: the ball and the way the routes are coming together

988
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: and the timing speaks to that. There's a different call

989
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: on the line from Dan and Buffalo. Go ahead, Dan,

990
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: you're on the air with this, Hey Murphy, I was

991
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,320
Speaker 1: wondering if it would be a good idea for the

992
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 1: Bills to trade for Terrell Firefoot. I mean that you

993
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 1: could do a little bit of everything. Yeah, Terrell Prior. Yeah,

994
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: why would the Jets trade him away? I wonder Dan,

995
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:40,919
Speaker 1: why would I mean, they just signed him, Why would

996
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 1: they want to get rid of him? Now? Right? They

997
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: just traded him away? But I was thinking maybe we

998
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 1: could pick him up from maybe a fourth or fifth

999
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 1: round pick. I mean, he's so universal in the way

1000
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: that he could do things. I mean the Jets just

1001
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: signed him though, right back in March. Why are they so?

1002
00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: Why would they why would they be ready to trade

1003
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: him away? I don't know why they need him. Okay,

1004
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: they have other assets on the team. I mean we

1005
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: we kind of need a second wide receiver. Yeah, the

1006
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: Jets won't be predisposed to help out the Buffalo Bills either.

1007
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: And I've had some dealons with prior. I'm not absolutely

1008
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: sure he would be a perfect fit for the culture

1009
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: they're trying to build here. Um, he's he's one of

1010
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: those guys that banters about on social media and that

1011
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 1: gives and if if that's any insight into the personality

1012
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 1: he brings to the locker room. I don't know that

1013
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 1: he would fit in this locker room. Uh, no question though.

1014
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 1: That guy has done some things that a lot of

1015
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: players have been have been unable to do in the past,

1016
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: meaning he switched from playing quarterback to playing wide receiver

1017
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: and switching positions at the level he did says a

1018
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 1: lot about the athlete he is. There's absolutely no question

1019
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 1: about that, But I don't know that he would be

1020
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: any better or different than the guys they've already got

1021
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: on the roster. I see what you're saying. Plus, you know,

1022
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: you got to have a partner you got it first,

1023
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: you gotta say that's a guy we want, which I'll

1024
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 1: tell you what. If I'm gonna go out and try

1025
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 1: and trade for a wide receiver, Terrell Prior is not

1026
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,320
Speaker 1: the first guy on my list, I'd go down the

1027
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: list of some other teams and see if you can

1028
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: find a team that's really deep at wide out and

1029
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 1: get one of those guys. First. There's some other names

1030
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: out there I would I would look for. Secondly, you

1031
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: gotta have a partner you got It's gotta be the

1032
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 1: guy you want first. Secondly, you gotta have to say

1033
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: the Jets may not want to get rid of him.

1034
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: He may be a guy that they want to keep

1035
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: and sign for a reason and they've got big plans

1036
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: for him. And third, you know, um, I don't know

1037
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,439
Speaker 1: if there is a third. Those two things are enough. Yeah,

1038
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. It doesn't seem like a good fit here.

1039
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 1: As Steve said, it doesn't make sense to me that

1040
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 1: the Jets would be in a mindset to trade away

1041
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: Terrelle prior they just signed him in March. Why didn't

1042
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: the Bill sign him? Yeah, you know, I mean that's

1043
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 1: don't I don't think. I don't think he's Yeah, I

1044
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: just don't think. I think there are other guys out

1045
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: there if you're gonna try and trade and get another

1046
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: trade partner for a team, I think there are other

1047
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: guys and other teams and under rosters that I would

1048
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: look at. First. Do the Bills needed let's talk about

1049
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: this in the next hour or two. Do the Bills

1050
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:10,359
Speaker 1: need to trade for a wide receiver? Are they there yet? Um?

1051
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: And a lot. What goes into that answer, I think

1052
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: is who's available obviously, what do you want to give

1053
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: up obviously? And your expectations for your offense. Uh and

1054
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: and that includes the guys you have on the roster.

1055
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: That's we're talking about Bills receivers. Today. We talk a

1056
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: lot about quarterbacks. What about the other end. Let's talk

1057
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 1: about that when we come back. We're gonna talk when

1058
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: we come back with Austin Prole, rookie wide receiver. One

1059
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,479
Speaker 1: of two late round picks by the Bills. Austin Prowle

1060
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: came in the seventh round. We'll talk with him coming

1061
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:40,399
Speaker 1: up after the break. Also, the soundtrack of training Camp

1062
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: provided by DJ Milk and DJ Yes. They're gonna be

1063
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: joining us at one thirty as well. I hope they

1064
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: bring some of the music over there. Can we do that? Oh?

1065

1068
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 1: in that, all the offensive words, the rights fies. I

1069
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: think I think that's a big budget show. I think

1089
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 1: Bills last year, after a significant hamstring injury rap. The

1090
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: report says the injury had something to do with the

1091
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:13,879
Speaker 1: Patriots interest in veteran wide receiver Eric Decker. He spent

1092
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,560

Speaker 1: five runs last night at twenty five to four loss

1107
00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:00,080
Speaker 1: to the Washington Nationals. It was their first game to

1108
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 1: the trade deadline. The Nats beat the Mets twenty five

1109
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: before a game that not only gave Washington the franchise

1110
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: record for runs scored, but also mark the Mets worst

1111
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: loss in it's fifty seven year history. And that is

1112

Speaker 1: the update from Buffalovill's training camp in Rochester Road to

1113
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: the undone tost tost time. Welcome back to Saint John

1117
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 1: like you're better adjusted to the early year morning with

1118
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,320
Speaker 1: us all doing better today, better today. Yeah, I was

1119
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,919

1120
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:58,680

1121
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 1: and you know it's an hour and a half. It's

1122
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:03,839
Speaker 1: just it was almost exactly an hour and a half today.

1123
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 1: First forty five minutes today, not too many words exchange.

1124
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 1: All of a sudden the caffeine kicked in. It was

1125
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 1: like we're doing a show right in the car. Yeah,

1126
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 1: we're getting into a nice little routine. I will say

1127
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 1: that we're here, pick me up. I'm standing out in

1128
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 1: front of my house. You're grumpy with my little backpack.

1129
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 1: You're grumpy I think in the morning. And my golf

1130
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:21,840
Speaker 1: shorts are waiting for you, my hat. And then we

1131
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 1: get in. We're quiet. You pull just pull straight in.

1132
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 1: You know my order at at Tim Horton's, we pull in,

1133
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: get the order, take off, and we have a we

1134
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: have a we have a a an understood acclamation time

1135
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 1: where we don't say anything until untill we each have

1136
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:41,919
Speaker 1: some coffee round about Strikersville as when we start talking,

1137
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 1: right and yeah, and then we actually had a really

1138
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:48,320
Speaker 1: good conversation today. We talked to wide ranging subjects, not

1139
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 1: in football life stuff. We're gonna bring up one of

1140
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 1: these topics in a minute, we want to engage you.

1141
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 1: You're welcome to join us, not in the car on

1142
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 1: the way here, but on the part of that. You

1143
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: don't want to get up at six fifteen to be

1144
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 1: with us on the phone today, join us. Here's the

1145
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 1: topic after Calvin Benjamin, Which Bill's receiver will have the

1146
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,439
Speaker 1: most receptions at the end of the season and why.

1147
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 1: On Twitter, we got a pretty good response here with

1148
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: twelve hundred votes in so far. Forty two percent of

1149
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: you think it'll be Jeremy Curly, twenty eight percent of

1150
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 1: you think it'll be Zay Jones, twenty two percent say

1151
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 1: somebody else currently on the roster, and eight percent say

1152
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: somebody else is currently not on the roster. Let's talk

1153
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 1: about it. Eight oh three five fifty the number twelve

1154
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: three one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

1155
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,400
Speaker 1: Let's start on the phones with Lee and Amherst. Go ahead, Lee,

1156
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. Him. How are you getting today?

1157
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 1: Doing okay? You'ing good? Yeah? I think it'll be Jeremy Curly,

1158
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 1: that's one thing. The other thing with everyone saying we

1159
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 1: should bring in more people people who are not on

1160
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,879
Speaker 1: the roster, I kind of disagree with that point, only

1161
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 1: because we have so many untapped potential here with all

1162
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 1: of these undrafted rookies that we signed and people from

1163
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: last year like Riley dupri and all of that, So

1164
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: why go after other people? I think if, like you

1165
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 1: guys said, Brandon being wanted Torell Prior, he would be here.

1166
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,839
Speaker 1: If they wanted someone else, they would be here. They

1167
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: are that aggressive about who they want to be here.

1168
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: It's more about building a team and not just bringing

1169
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:22,800
Speaker 1: in guys just because they're good. You know, this is

1170
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 1: not the years of Rex Ryan where we would just

1171
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: go after free agents and that build a team. That's

1172
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 1: that's a really good point to pointly. He's and there's

1173
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: a lot of people chiming in on Twitter about the

1174
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 1: same thing. Brandon Riley seems to be the flavor of

1175
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 1: the day, where aside from Jeremy Curley, who seems like

1176
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:44,719
Speaker 1: the guy who you know, when they signed him, it

1177
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: was almost people have a tendency to rubber stamp him

1178
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 1: as the guy that one piece of an offense where

1179
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: he's going to go into the slot. Brandon Riley is

1180
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 1: a guy who kind of forget about until you see

1181
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 1: him play again. Um, fans kind of forgot about him

1182
00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 1: last year until like week ten of the season or

1183
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 1: eleven of the when they brought him back and started

1184
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 1: activating him and seeing him catch the football. He thought, wow,

1185
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:08,799
Speaker 1: that was because the preseason he had a year ago

1186
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:10,279
Speaker 1: was kind of like the one he's having. Now. He's

1187
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 1: kind of flashing and playing well. We'll see if he

1188
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:15,319
Speaker 1: can recreate the catches he made in the preseason last year.

1189
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 1: But now that people are starting to remember and we're

1190
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 1: back in that training camp, they are starting to get

1191
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 1: back on the on the bandwagon for having that guy

1192
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 1: be a part of the team and play a significant

1193
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: role this year rather than just being a practice quard.

1194
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 1: You know, Lee makes a good point the caller we

1195
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: just hung up from. There are untested, unproven, really no

1196
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 1: names who look in a perfect world, if things break well,

1197
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 1: one of them could emerge. Maybe it'll be Austin Prowler

1198
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:42,399
Speaker 1: is gonna be on the show. That's gonna sit down

1199
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 1: with us here in a couple of minutes. Maybe you know,

1200
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 1: he knows some of the names, Lee did. Malachai Dupree,

1201
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 1: you know, street free agent signed a year ago. Quan

1202
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 1: Bray caught a nice pass out here today. I saw

1203
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 1: Raymay McLeod sixth round pick this year, Rod Streeter, I've

1204
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: talked about him a lot. Cam Phillips college free agent

1205
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:02,359
Speaker 1: signed this year. Klin Clay. They picked him up late

1206
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 1: in training camp last year. Right. Robert Foster's another name.

1207
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,320
Speaker 1: We've had him on the show and he's he's a

1208
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: guy that's got a lot. He's one of those guys

1209
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: that can take the lid off the defense. He's a

1210
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: fast guy with some speed, and who's played in this offense,

1211
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:15,799
Speaker 1: he's probably you got to think he's got a little

1212
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 1: bit of a leg up on the young players having

1213
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 1: been in this offense. So and I like, you know, Lee,

1214
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: the caller used the term untapped potential. That's awesome, and

1215
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 1: you're right, and to be able to unlock all that

1216
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 1: potential would be a great move for the Bill's coaching staff.

1217
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:35,360
Speaker 1: But also potential has gotten dozens and dozens, if not hundreds,

1218
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: of coaches fire because the guy never reaches it. And

1219
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to go to the bank with untapped potential,

1220
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And here we are, four

1221
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 1: and a half, five weeks before the season opens. Yeah,

1222
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 1: you can name some names and look at guys who

1223
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 1: have some potential, but you gotta play gamesphere for real.

1224
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: September ninth, and that's what this is all about. If

1225
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 1: they don't untapped that potential in this training camp, they

1226
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:58,399
Speaker 1: may never get a chance to do it ever again.

1227
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 1: I mean this is this might be their best opportunity

1228
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 1: to make that happen, as certainly as the clock ticking on.

1229
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: A guy like Malachai Dupree who's been through this once more,

1230
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 1: another guy like Brandon Riley who's also been through this

1231
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 1: once before. Once you get to a point where you're

1232
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 1: not making significant enough progress to actually crack a starting roster,

1233
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: well you know, it's hard to find opportunities like this,

1234
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 1: and they start to evaporate because there's always a young

1235
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 1: cropper receivers who have even more potential. Call on the

1236
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:29,840
Speaker 1: line from Tony and Hamburg. Hello, Tony, go ahead, welcome

1237
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 1: to the show. Hey guys, it's good afternoon. No thanks

1238
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 1: for taking my call. Yeah, my question is, man, I

1239
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:39,280
Speaker 1: don't think it really depends on who's playing the wide receiver.

1240
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 1: I think it more depends on who your quarterback is.

1241
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 1: I think if you guys like I don't know, maybe

1242
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,919
Speaker 1: your degree you guys got a good quarterback, I think,

1243
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:51,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean receiver. It helps them and

1244
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 1: like people like Benjamin Curley, but I don't know. I

1245
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 1: think what the receivers we got right now, I think

1246
00:54:57,719 --> 00:54:59,759
Speaker 1: we could do a lot of damage. Just depends on

1247
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 1: who throwing the ball. You know, Well, that's true. I mean,

1248
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:07,240
Speaker 1: I've always said it matters. It's a It matters who's

1249
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 1: playing center, it matters who's playing guard. Yeah, it matters

1250
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: who the receivers are. It matters more where the quarterback

1251
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 1: is no question about that. But it matters, and it

1252
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 1: matters if you're gonna start a young quarterback like Josh Allen,

1253
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 1: it matters that he has a nice array of talented

1254
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 1: wide receivers to work with. I do think it matters,

1255
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 1: and I've told you this. I've said this a lot,

1256
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 1: and we don't always agree one hundred percent, but I

1257
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:30,800
Speaker 1: always have always said, in this, on this show in

1258
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 1: other places that I've always thought it's the guy pulling

1259
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 1: the trigger that makes the receivers, not the vice versa. Now,

1260
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 1: there's no question that these quarterbacks, the decision is gonna

1261
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 1: be made on the quarterback. We all know that. But

1262
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:46,839
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Who's he gonna be thrown too? I mean,

1263
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:48,799
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna come from the pool of players we've

1264
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 1: been talking about. It's gonna come from Calvin Benjamin, It's

1265
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:55,239
Speaker 1: gonna come from uh, from Charles Clay, It's gonna be

1266
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy. But there's gonna be two or at least

1267
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:02,279
Speaker 1: two other guys on the field and sometimes even three

1268
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 1: other guys on the field that are gonna get up

1269
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 1: get a lot of opportunities to catch the football. And

1270
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 1: whoever's throwing the football, he's gonna need those guys to

1271
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:13,800
Speaker 1: be options. Who's gonna be the best one. That's what

1272
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 1: we're asking today in our in our in our poll. Yeah,

1273
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:19,160
Speaker 1: and who's it gonna be. You've got to have guys

1274
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:23,959
Speaker 1: who can get open because listen, just because Charles Clay

1275
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 1: and LaShaun McCoy and Calvin Benjamin are out there, the

1276
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 1: quarterback is gonna need somebody to throw the football to

1277
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:34,840
Speaker 1: other places. Quarterback needs help. He does needs open receivers.

1278
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 1: He needs a guy like Calvin Benjamin posting up a linebacker.

1279
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 1: He needs guys. He needs guys he can trust. Who's

1280
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 1: gonna earn the trust of this starting quarterback whoever it

1281
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 1: is in this training camp, and that's really what we're asking. Thanks.

1282
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 1: So here's Jerry and Blaze. Hello, Jerry and welcome to

1283
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:52,879
Speaker 1: the show. You're on the air with us Ahi, John Knight,

1284
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 1: Steve Are you today? Great? Good? I was wondering, uh,

1285
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 1: if you would say about this about the wide receivers

1286
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 1: being in the rotation in and out of the line

1287
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:16,439
Speaker 1: line up, Jerry, are your turn your radio? Your radio down? Okay? Yeah,

1288
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna be I don't think if

1289
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:22,160
Speaker 1: this is what you're asking. Um, they don't roll wide

1290
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 1: receivers through the offense like they do defensive lineman because

1291
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:28,439
Speaker 1: there's just not enough spots on the roster. They can't

1292
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 1: hold that many wide receivers to have like three spare

1293
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 1: wide receivers on game day where you're gonna play three

1294
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: and rotate and fresh three through even you're not even

1295
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 1: gonna rotate three or two through. I mean you're not

1296
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 1: even gonna leave Calvin Benjamin and Jeremy Curley on the

1297
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 1: field and rotate two guys through there. You're gonna have

1298
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 1: a set group of guys because that's the way your

1299
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,919
Speaker 1: quarterback is gonna want it. And that's why you're gonna

1300
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 1: want the best guy on the field all the time.

1301
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 1: So no, they don't rotate wide receivers in an offense.

1302
00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 1: You don't rotate you don't even rotate running backs. If

1303
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 1: you've got a guy like Lashawn McCoy, you leave that

1304
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 1: guy on. You want a guy that you can leave

1305
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:06,440
Speaker 1: on the field all the time because if he can

1306
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 1: do more things well, the defense is going to be

1307
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 1: forced to either make a decision, leave the guys on

1308
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: the field that they have and match up with him

1309
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 1: and then have him split out and you've got a

1310
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 1: guy like Preston Brown out on trying to guard Lashawn

1311
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: McCoy one on one. That's a mismatch for you, or

1312
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna come back inside. You're gonna put a safety

1313
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: out there and then bring Lashawn McCoy in, and you've

1314
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 1: got now a light safety playing middle linebacker. That's what

1315
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 1: versatile athletes do for your offense, and a guy like

1316
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 1: Leshaw puts you in that position. Guys like Calvin Benjamin

1317
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 1: do that automatically because they're so big and they're always

1318
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 1: split out wide. They give you a mismatch physically. So

1319
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 1: that's why you don't really rotate guys through, because when

1320
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: you rotate guys through, the defensives just say they they're

1321
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 1: putting that guy in. Well, we got a guy that

1322
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 1: can match up with him. Our question today, who's basically

1323
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 1: number two receiver and the seasons end, and it's probably

1324
00:58:56,400 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 1: Calvin Benjamin leads the receiving corp reception to his number two, Trent,

1325
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:02,959
Speaker 1: and Rochester has a thought on that. Trent, go ahead,

1326
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 1: you're on there. Welcome to the show. Thanks guys, and

1327
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 1: thanks for having me my guy that I'm going with

1328
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 1: this Rod Streeter. Last year he was my guy too,

1329
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:14,920
Speaker 1: but injuries derailed him. So I think he's just a

1330
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 1: little hungrier this year. And I don't believe that this

1331
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 1: his career, He's gonna allow anyone to I'll play him

1332
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: so though, six three and he's got those measurables. Three

1333
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 1: guy his six five, and I think he's got a

1334
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 1: little bit of a chip on his shoulder. So he

1335
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 1: did teasers last year, it was real, and now this

1336
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 1: year I believe he finally showed you you know what

1337
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:41,080
Speaker 1: he really was trying to put together. And I think

1338
00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a pretty good season. I'm just glad

1339
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 1: that it's going to be for the Bills guys. All right.

1340
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 1: I'm a Rod Streeter fan, and he's had a good

1341
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,480
Speaker 1: camp in the first week here. Got some run with

1342
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 1: the first teamers today, which I thought was significant as

1343
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 1: a significant development, and look for more I think from

1344
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:00,160
Speaker 1: Rod Streeter. I think the caller's right, he's the guy

1345
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 1: to keep an eye out. Yeah he's not six to five,

1346
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:05,440
Speaker 1: but he is sixty three and he is a big target.

1347
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 1: And like I said, we were talking a moment ago,

1348
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 1: Rod Streeter gives you the idea that he's been through

1349
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:13,120
Speaker 1: this before. He plays with a confidence and a technique

1350
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 1: and a presence about him that give that kind of

1351
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 1: instilled in a guy. Just watching I was like, wow

1352
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 1: that you know, that's a guy he kind of wont

1353
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 1: on your team, you know what I mean. It's nothing

1354
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:24,920
Speaker 1: he does surprises you. He's got a big body, he's

1355
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 1: a good target, and he's got experience. And that's and

1356
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,479
Speaker 1: today you mentioned it. We saw him running with the ones,

1357
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 1: and he's a guy that's got some wheels as well.

1358
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 1: And I think Rod Street is a great choice for

1359
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 1: that for a Twitter poll because we've seen him play

1360
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 1: well in for this team, like last year. That's not

1361
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:46,959
Speaker 1: this offense, but this team and with if it wasn't

1362
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 1: for an injury, I think Rod Streeter would be a

1363
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 1: household name in Buffalo already the way he played in

1364
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 1: the preseason last year. Here's a call from a time

1365
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: on Grand Island. Hello time, Welcome, Hey guys, how are

1366
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 1: you doing there? Really? Well? Okay, go ahead, tom My

1367
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:06,240
Speaker 1: choice is Jeremy Curley, and I'm going with him because

1368
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 1: I think he dealt with receivers or quarterbacks in the past.

1369
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 1: It really aren't like the back you know, like those guys,

1370
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 1: but like you know, Josh mccowney, h Karl Kaepernick, Blaine

1371
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 1: Daverd whoever. And I think Josh Allen starting at some

1372
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 1: point you maybe could have you know, you could have

1373
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 1: a good report with him. You never know. But I

1374
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 1: also want to end maybe the never two receiver isn't

1375
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 1: on the roster, got I mean, training camp could could

1376
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 1: be you know, happening soon. You never know, maybe Denver

1377
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 1: gets rid of one of their receivers and he could

1378
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 1: you know, Manuel Sanders or something like that. So you

1379
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 1: never know, and you think, yeah, that's that's a good point,

1380
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 1: that that was one of our that was one of

1381
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 1: our choices on the Twitter pool and Tom thanks for

1382
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 1: the call. We last year, so many things were happening

1383
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:02,120
Speaker 1: with this club that we couldn't anticipate at the time,

1384
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:03,640
Speaker 1: and you get to the end of the season. The

1385
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 1: number one guy, Kelvin Benjamin and the number two guy

1386
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 1: at Jordan Matthews. Neither one of them was even in

1387
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:11,200
Speaker 1: training camp with the club until late in the late

1388
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 1: in the game, and Kelvin didn't come till halfway through

1389
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 1: the season. We thought, you know, there's nothing that says

1390
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 1: that can't happen again, particularly given this coaching staff and

1391
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 1: this general manager's penchant for getting guys they like and

1392
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:27,960
Speaker 1: no matter what the cost. And so we put that

1393
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 1: on I we had to, you know, as you can imagine,

1394
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 1: we had a discussions do you think that's true? And

1395
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:33,840
Speaker 1: because you know, because people have put it towards us

1396
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 1: on Twitter, they say, listen, I don't think that. I

1397
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 1: think they're gonna get somebody at the end of training

1398
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 1: camp when the final cuts down cutdowns come. A lot

1399
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:43,480
Speaker 1: of people, Bills fans and people who listen to us

1400
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 1: believe there's gonna be a guy out there that the

1401
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:48,480
Speaker 1: Bills want to grab. And quite Frankly, there's nothing that

1402
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 1: says that they're they're not exactly right. Were you you

1403
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 1: were on the roster? I believe when the Bills signed

1404
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 1: James Lofton in the middle of a month end of

1405
01:02:57,080 --> 01:02:58,880
Speaker 1: the season, it wasn't a month in the season. It

1406
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:01,280
Speaker 1: was like five games left. It was late in the

1407
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:03,439
Speaker 1: year in eighty nine. That had to be crazy because

1408
01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:08,040
Speaker 1: even at that point, James this is what nineteen yeah,

1409
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 1: early and eighty nine, Even at that point, James Lofton

1410
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 1: had a reputation as a really good, almost great receiver

1411
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:16,240
Speaker 1: and a potential Hall of Famer where he is now, right,

1412
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 1: I mean, what was it like to get a guy

1413
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 1: like that in the middle of the year, A guy

1414
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:22,440
Speaker 1: like loft It was great to see because he was

1415
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 1: a mature guy and his maturity kind of helped us.

1416
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:28,400
Speaker 1: And he has a great sense of humor, so he

1417
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:31,240
Speaker 1: was a great fit. He came in and was making

1418
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:33,680
Speaker 1: us laugh and we were having fun and became fast

1419
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:35,840
Speaker 1: friends very quickly, and that was important with a guy

1420
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:38,720
Speaker 1: like Andrea Reid already on the roster and to have

1421
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:41,480
Speaker 1: him go out there and start to show us what

1422
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 1: was going on. He was and because we had a

1423
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 1: lot of respect for him. He had all those great

1424
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 1: years in Green Bay, then went to the Raiders and

1425
01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:49,440
Speaker 1: played for them for a handful of years or less

1426
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 1: than a handful of years. It was a huge boost

1427
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:54,439
Speaker 1: front and I and I'd say this all the time.

1428
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 1: Not only was he a great player, obviously he was

1429
01:03:56,960 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame, he was a catalyst for

1430
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 1: raising the level of the entire room because of his credibility,

1431
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:08,640
Speaker 1: because of what he brought to the table, and because

1432
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:11,480
Speaker 1: of the stuff we believed about him and his approachability.

1433
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 1: And we could come up and talk to him and

1434
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 1: ask him stuff, and he always had an answer for us.

1435
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 1: And it wasn't always the like the cut and son

1436
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 1: of listen, hiss, how you have to do it? He

1437
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 1: had a real thoughtful answer about for me and for

1438
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 1: other guys. And he had he knows that there's a

1439
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 1: gray area for different guys, and a guy with a

1440
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:28,479
Speaker 1: different skill set there's no pad answer for his skill

1441
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 1: set compared to another. He was a real catalyst for

1442
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 1: raising the level of the room. I was a big

1443
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:36,200
Speaker 1: fan of it, and I think his presence on that

1444
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 1: team changed things for a lot of guys in the room.

1445
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:41,480
Speaker 1: It really did not only well he took up a

1446
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:44,920
Speaker 1: roster spot, so somebody had to say goodbye, but it

1447
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 1: was also a point where wow, we could he changed things.

1448
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 1: Just his presence and his ability and the credibility brought.

1449
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:54,600
Speaker 1: And of course the quarterbacks through to him and they

1450
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 1: liked it what they saw as well his speed and

1451
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 1: his athleticism and his size. Getting him was a real

1452
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:02,480
Speaker 1: coup that we didn't know at the time was going

1453
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:04,520
Speaker 1: to be as big a coup as it was. Well,

1454
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 1: take that this year for this team. Somebody like James

1455
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 1: Lofton was walking out of the roster, dropping in a

1456
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer with four or five good years left

1457
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:13,480
Speaker 1: in Yeah, that would take that here. That would be nice.

1458
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:16,120
Speaker 1: Bill's used a seventh rounder this year on a wide receiver,

1459
01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 1: Austin Prowle from North Carolina. His dad, Ricky, played seventeen

1460
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:22,439
Speaker 1: seasons in the NFL. We had a chance a little

1461
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 1: bit earlier today after practice to sit down and talk

1462
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 1: with wide receiver Austin Prole. Austin, you're just about one weekend,

1463
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 1: your first NFL training camp house had gone so far,

1464
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 1: it's going great. It's you know, it's an unbelievable pleasure

1465
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 1: to be out here with a great group of guys,

1466
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:39,760
Speaker 1: great group of coaches and just you know, soaking everything in,

1467
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 1: learning from everybody. We got a great room, you know,

1468
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:45,320
Speaker 1: in the receiver room, just looking up to the vets

1469
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 1: and just soaking you know, all the knowledge and you know,

1470
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:50,640
Speaker 1: the experience in. It's really interesting to see here because

1471
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 1: I was a contemporary of your father's that we were

1472
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 1: speaking before we came on, and we were talking about

1473
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:57,520
Speaker 1: new things that have happened. The league's always changing, and

1474
01:05:57,600 --> 01:05:59,680
Speaker 1: we were talking about the music at practice. We're gonna

1475
01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 1: have the DJ j Yes coming on the show in

1476
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 1: a minute too. But uh, that's something you did even

1477
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 1: in college, and it seems to be a new way

1478
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 1: of doing things. What do you think that what's the

1479
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 1: idea behind having loud music at practice? I think it's uh,

1480
01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:16,360
Speaker 1: you know, it's a multiple, you know, number of things.

1481
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 1: I think in college we did it. Um. You know,

1482
01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 1: because when you play road game road games, you're not

1483
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:22,680
Speaker 1: gonna able to hear um. You know, it's not always

1484
01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 1: easy to focus, especially with music, um, you know, being

1485
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:29,200
Speaker 1: so loud, whether it's crowd music or just you know,

1486
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 1: just student sections, whatever it may be. And then in

1487
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 1: the league, it's the same thing as opposing fans are

1488
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 1: loud and distracting, and that's how music can be. You know,

1489
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 1: you can't necessarily hear quarterbacks communicating. You got to know signals. Uh,

1490
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:41,880
Speaker 1: you gotta know what to do. You gotta be able

1491
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:44,000
Speaker 1: to focus under pressure. And then the second side of

1492
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:46,520
Speaker 1: it is is just you know, getting you know, everybody

1493
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 1: loves music. Everybody you know kind of gets you know,

1494
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:51,320
Speaker 1: their mind right, you know, pumped up, so to speak,

1495
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 1: you know, to music. So it kind of gets people,

1496
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:55,440
Speaker 1: you know, getting going, especially at the beginning of practice,

1497
01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:57,840
Speaker 1: kind of gets the blood flowing, um and gets everybody

1498
01:06:57,840 --> 01:06:59,400
Speaker 1: in the mood. I was gonna ask you that, um,

1499
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 1: because we got a chief said, the DJ's coming on

1500
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:03,760
Speaker 1: in a couple of minutes. Here. Do you actually listen

1501
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 1: to a song and practice and say, oh I like

1502
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:06,920
Speaker 1: that song? Do you have to Yeah, you got to

1503
01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:08,760
Speaker 1: fight the distraction? Thought? Yeah, I mean because sometimes you

1504
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 1: gotta bust out. No, absolutely, I think And it's funny that,

1505
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:14,240
Speaker 1: you know, the two DJs we do have, um, you know,

1506
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 1: they they definitely know the music we're listening to. So

1507
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:18,880
Speaker 1: they definitely play music that you know, we like and

1508
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:21,480
Speaker 1: that we're interested in. So you know, sometimes it is

1509
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:23,320
Speaker 1: hard to like stay focused. You start hearing a song

1510
01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 1: and you kind of want to, you know, go to

1511
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 1: the beat or dancing. But uh, you know that's good

1512
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:28,800
Speaker 1: at the beginning of practice where you can, you know,

1513
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:30,920
Speaker 1: like I said, get the blood flowing, get the juices

1514
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 1: flowing a little bit. But then you know, then you know,

1515
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:35,800
Speaker 1: when we're in team periods and going against the defense,

1516
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:38,520
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta lock in and stay focused regardless

1517
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:40,479
Speaker 1: of what you know, what's playing. I would imagine locking

1518
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 1: in is especially important to you. I mean, and you

1519
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:45,760
Speaker 1: look at this situation. You're one of two later round

1520
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:48,240
Speaker 1: wide receiver picks by the Bills, and you come to

1521
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:51,240
Speaker 1: a team that what's the number thirteen thirteen at least

1522
01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 1: that's what's on the ross. That's a crowded field of

1523
01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:54,440
Speaker 1: people you got to sort through. What's it feel like

1524
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 1: when you go in the meeting room war on the field, Yeah,

1525
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 1: I mean, there's definitely a lot of guys, a lot

1526
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 1: of competition. Um, you know, but it's good. More competition

1527
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 1: is always good. You know, you're fighting for a spot

1528
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 1: every day, competing every rap. But we got a great room,

1529
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 1: a great room of Vets rookies, a bunch of guys

1530
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:12,560
Speaker 1: just fighting and then ultimately just playing a sport we

1531
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 1: love that we played for a long time. So you know,

1532
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:16,360
Speaker 1: each and every day it's fun to come out here

1533
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:18,400
Speaker 1: and get to work with a great group of guys.

1534
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:20,640
Speaker 1: Our Vets have done a great job of taking in

1535
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 1: our rookies and really just continuing to help us out

1536
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:25,200
Speaker 1: learn the playbook and kind of show us the way.

1537
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:29,280
Speaker 1: You got a great veteran coach position coaching Terry Robisky.

1538
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:31,759
Speaker 1: What if you learned from him so far through OTA's

1539
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:34,000
Speaker 1: mini camp in the first week or so a training camp. Yeah,

1540
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 1: I mean he's he's coached a great you know, a

1541
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 1: number of big time receivers in the NFL. You know,

1542
01:08:40,240 --> 01:08:42,920
Speaker 1: being an offensive coordinator, he knows the ins and out

1543
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:44,719
Speaker 1: of the offense. You know, he knows that it starts

1544
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:47,439
Speaker 1: from the offensive line to the quarterbacks and then uh so,

1545
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 1: I think you know, the biggest thing that we've learned

1546
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:52,960
Speaker 1: from him, especially me, is just you know, learning from

1547
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 1: a quarterbacks perspective, you know, knowing he's been an OC,

1548
01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:56,640
Speaker 1: you know, he's kind of got to go through the

1549
01:08:56,680 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 1: whole offense and not just focus on us. So you know,

1550
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:03,519
Speaker 1: learning in the position um through a different set of eyes. UM,

1551
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:05,760
Speaker 1: not just looking at it from a receiver's perspective, but

1552
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:08,320
Speaker 1: going back to a quarterback and what he sees. You

1553
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:10,080
Speaker 1: know what, we have to be patient on this route

1554
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:11,960
Speaker 1: or we have to get to a landmark on this route,

1555
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:14,639
Speaker 1: you know, quicker than you know than waiting. So it's

1556
01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:16,439
Speaker 1: one of those things where it's just learning, like little

1557
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:19,080
Speaker 1: things like that that make timing better, um, that make

1558
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 1: routes better. And uh, you know, he's been a great

1559
01:09:21,160 --> 01:09:23,360
Speaker 1: asset for me. Now that you've gotten into training camp

1560
01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:25,560
Speaker 1: and your weekend to a plus, you had some OTAs

1561
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 1: and you had the mini camp. Talk to us a

1562
01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:30,160
Speaker 1: little bit this offense. I mean, he's probably different than

1563
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:33,479
Speaker 1: the one you ran in North Carolina. You just give

1564
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:36,080
Speaker 1: us a little synopsis of what surprises you about it

1565
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:38,240
Speaker 1: and maybe what what doesn't surprise you, and what you

1566
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:40,840
Speaker 1: like and maybe all of that stuff, you know, if

1567
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:42,880
Speaker 1: your opinion about it. Yeah, I think Dave Ball has

1568
01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:45,400
Speaker 1: a you know, an awesome offense. UM. You know, it's

1569
01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:47,280
Speaker 1: been awesome to learn. It's been really cool to see

1570
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:50,200
Speaker 1: the difference between you know, the college offense and the

1571
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:53,000
Speaker 1: college game. And then transforming to you know, what we're

1572
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:55,400
Speaker 1: doing here in Buffalo and um, you know, just our

1573
01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:59,479
Speaker 1: route concepts, our checks, our alerts, and then our verbiage

1574
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:02,519
Speaker 1: obviously is different. But you know, O, my college offense

1575
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:05,000
Speaker 1: was very simple, very you know, one word meant the

1576
01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:07,360
Speaker 1: whole concept. Um, you know, because we were an up

1577
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:09,840
Speaker 1: timbo team, we didn't huddle. Um, so this is way

1578
01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 1: different being about huddle. Every play listened to a call

1579
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:14,760
Speaker 1: in the huddle, um, you know. But then you know,

1580
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:17,720
Speaker 1: more specifically, just you know, the guys you're around. You know,

1581
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:20,439
Speaker 1: there's different spots, you know, you move guys around with

1582
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:24,320
Speaker 1: different um, you know, different formations stuff like that. So

1583
01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 1: it's just one of those things where you just gotta

1584
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:27,640
Speaker 1: get used to it, you know. But then more you

1585
01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:30,400
Speaker 1: feel comfortable, the more you see that it's a great

1586
01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:32,600
Speaker 1: offense and what we're putting in is good each and

1587
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:35,240
Speaker 1: every day. Austin Prole our guests, Bill, seventh round draft pick,

1588
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:36,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver from North Carolina. I want to ask you

1589
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:39,280
Speaker 1: a little bit about your path to the Bill's roster.

1590
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:42,560
Speaker 1: You went to a regional combine, right, did you you

1591
01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:43,960
Speaker 1: did not go to the big combine or did you

1592
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:46,160
Speaker 1: finally get it just a regional combine. Where was it?

1593
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:48,559
Speaker 1: How did you get there? I mean, what got you there?

1594
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:51,680
Speaker 1: And what did you manage to accomplish there? Yeah. So

1595
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:54,080
Speaker 1: I went to a regional combine in Tampa, Florida at

1596
01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:57,680
Speaker 1: the Bucks facility, and I just, you know, it was

1597
01:10:57,720 --> 01:10:59,720
Speaker 1: hard for me because my you know, my dream. You know,

1598
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:01,519
Speaker 1: I think everybody's dream is to go to the you know,

1599
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:04,479
Speaker 1: the the NFL Combine, and you know, me getting hurt

1600
01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:07,360
Speaker 1: obviously hurt my chances of that my senior year and

1601
01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:09,920
Speaker 1: then you know, being able to get invited to the

1602
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:14,120
Speaker 1: Tampa combine, the regional combine was was huge for me. Um,

1603
01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 1: I was excited about it. I went down there, I

1604
01:11:16,479 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 1: ran a four four one in a four four three. Uh,

1605
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:22,240
Speaker 1: you know, there was all thirty two scouts were there,

1606
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 1: mostly pro scouts, which was good too, not just uh

1607
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:28,040
Speaker 1: you know, college scouts. And then you know, rout ran

1608
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 1: the route tree. Um did what I had to do

1609
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:32,479
Speaker 1: with all the other drills, and it had a really

1610
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:33,960
Speaker 1: good day, and you know, I think I caught a

1611
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:36,280
Speaker 1: lot of people's eyes and I think it really helped

1612
01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 1: me out. Yeah, let me tell you, it was a

1613
01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:40,320
Speaker 1: dream of everybody to go to the Combine. It didn't

1614
01:11:40,320 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 1: exist when I came out, No Combine. It was like

1615
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:45,000
Speaker 1: the first or second year of the Combine, and I

1616
01:11:45,120 --> 01:11:46,840
Speaker 1: was like, why would I. Guys were like, I don't

1617
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:49,240
Speaker 1: even know if I want to go. What's going on?

1618
01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:50,880
Speaker 1: You know, So we didn't even know what it was

1619
01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:52,760
Speaker 1: back then. It was. It was like eighty four was

1620
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 1: the first year it was. And I came out in

1621
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:56,960
Speaker 1: eighty five and it was like, you know, maybe there's

1622
01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:59,000
Speaker 1: like it seemed like there was only like fifteen guys

1623
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:00,880
Speaker 1: who went, but it was more in it. But yet,

1624
01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:03,840
Speaker 1: believe me, you can overcome a lot because now, I mean,

1625
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:06,640
Speaker 1: you did go, you did get looked at, and now

1626
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 1: you've got an opportunity. So talk to us about how

1627
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:12,840
Speaker 1: you feel your opportunity opens up for you here in Buffalo. Yeah,

1628
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 1: I mean I think each and every day, you know,

1629
01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 1: you just kind of attack it with you know, knowing

1630
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 1: that there's an opportunity, there's windows open, and each and

1631
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:21,200
Speaker 1: every rep you know, you gotta take the most. You know,

1632
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:23,479
Speaker 1: you gotta take advantage of it. And you know, for me,

1633
01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:26,200
Speaker 1: that's how my whole career has been, you know, playing football.

1634
01:12:26,280 --> 01:12:28,680
Speaker 1: You know, I've always kind of been overlooked, you know,

1635
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:31,840
Speaker 1: been undervalued, you know, even coming out of high school

1636
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:34,640
Speaker 1: and getting a scholarship to Carolina, you know, and I've

1637
01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:36,200
Speaker 1: always had to kind of get over that hump and

1638
01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:38,439
Speaker 1: just continue to work each and every day, continue to

1639
01:12:38,479 --> 01:12:40,280
Speaker 1: come out with the mindset that I got to prove

1640
01:12:40,320 --> 01:12:42,880
Speaker 1: people wrong and then, you know, prove the people who

1641
01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:45,560
Speaker 1: believe in me right, and that's big for me. Just

1642
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:47,760
Speaker 1: continue to work, you know, the playbook in and out,

1643
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:49,680
Speaker 1: get on the same page with these quarterbacks and make

1644
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:51,800
Speaker 1: the most out of every opportunity. Awesome. I was reading

1645
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:54,800
Speaker 1: that the first jersey you had as a child was

1646
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:57,880
Speaker 1: a Ricky Prole jersey. Of course it was right, you're dead.

1647
01:12:58,160 --> 01:13:01,120
Speaker 1: Tell me about that experience. He's in the for seventeen years.

1648
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 1: How old were you and how are where were you

1649
01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:05,519
Speaker 1: of his career and his stature in the NFL when

1650
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:07,800
Speaker 1: you were a little kid. Yeah, so you know, he

1651
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:11,160
Speaker 1: played in Arizona for five years, then I was born

1652
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:15,720
Speaker 1: in Seattle and a second stint with the with the Seahawks,

1653
01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 1: and then we moved to Chicago. Then we moved to

1654
01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:22,080
Speaker 1: Saint Louis, and then we moved to Carolina and then

1655
01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:24,080
Speaker 1: he played for the Panthers and then ended up with

1656
01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:26,840
Speaker 1: the Colts to finish it off, and you know, just

1657
01:13:26,920 --> 01:13:28,840
Speaker 1: a lot of moving, but you know it taught me

1658
01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 1: a lot, just kind of get out of my comfort zone.

1659
01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:33,560
Speaker 1: And then watching him was unbelievable, you know, just the

1660
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:35,880
Speaker 1: way he attacked each and every day, whether it was

1661
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:38,439
Speaker 1: his you know, whatever fifth year in the league when

1662
01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:40,720
Speaker 1: I was born, to his seventeenth year, just you know,

1663
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 1: continue to have that competitive edge about him, just attacked

1664
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:45,640
Speaker 1: each and every day like he you know, how did

1665
01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:48,240
Speaker 1: he go prove himself, you know, and playing in four

1666
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:51,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowls, being able to attend all four and then

1667
01:13:51,880 --> 01:13:54,000
Speaker 1: a fifth when he was coaching with the Panthers, and

1668
01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:56,720
Speaker 1: then just seeing the way, you no matter what the

1669
01:13:56,840 --> 01:13:58,920
Speaker 1: day was, no matter how tired he was, just working

1670
01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:01,479
Speaker 1: out by himself, really taught me a lot. You know.

1671
01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:03,800
Speaker 1: He's always told me to, you know, just take care

1672
01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:05,280
Speaker 1: of the little things and let the big things take

1673
01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:07,400
Speaker 1: care of themselves. And that's just that was big for me.

1674
01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:09,760
Speaker 1: When you were when he was in Carolina, that must

1675
01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:12,320
Speaker 1: be where you were exposed to Brandon Bean and um

1676
01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:14,680
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott. Where were you, like high school age at

01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:31,439

Speaker 1: always go down to the facility, the Panthers facility and

1684
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:36,280

Speaker 1: weeks here? Just continue to prove myself, you know, each

1713
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:01,680
Speaker 1: and every play on and off the field, and then

1714
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:05,120
Speaker 1: you know, continue to work on special teams, continue to uh,

1715
01:16:05,320 --> 01:16:07,920
Speaker 1: you know, just fill a spot on you know, one

1716
01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:10,320
Speaker 1: couple of those special teams, whether it's a returner or

1717
01:16:10,439 --> 01:16:12,599
Speaker 1: gunner or whatever it might be. You know, just continue

1718
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:14,360
Speaker 1: to work each and every day, each and every rep

1719
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:16,320
Speaker 1: and continue to prove myself was a guy in the

1720
01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:17,519
Speaker 1: other side of the year. I can tell you that

1721
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:19,840
Speaker 1: script right that, ye tell us, how do you do that?

1722
01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:21,800
Speaker 1: How did you do that? I was? I don't know

1723
01:16:21,880 --> 01:16:25,360
Speaker 1: what ground? What overall? Were you taking? What number? I

1724
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:27,920
Speaker 1: was seventh round? I was two twenty six. It was

1725
01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:30,360
Speaker 1: two fifty fifth, Yeah, And that's what I did. I

1726
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:34,160
Speaker 1: returned kicks and backup wide receiver and then turned into

1727
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:37,280
Speaker 1: a gunner and then kickoff coverage guy. And I hung

1728
01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:39,760
Speaker 1: out for thirteen years. You're rookie year, Steve, did you

1729
01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:41,800
Speaker 1: like light it up where you opened an eye? I

1730
01:16:41,920 --> 01:16:44,719
Speaker 1: was leading the AFC and kickoff returns my rookie season.

1731
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:46,680
Speaker 1: That's all. And I'm in the lars. Interesting in the

1732
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:49,920
Speaker 1: regular season for about twelve weeks. I got hurt after

1733
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:51,920
Speaker 1: eight weeks, but I still hung in there. But the

1734
01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:54,120
Speaker 1: thing about it is, it's interesting this year because they

1735
01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:56,640
Speaker 1: got a different kickoff r and they're gonna theyre need

1736
01:16:56,680 --> 01:16:58,559
Speaker 1: a lot more athletes on the field to do both

1737
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:01,639
Speaker 1: coverage and the return group. So it's gonna be interesting

1738
01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:03,479
Speaker 1: to see how that plays out. A lot of people

1739
01:17:03,479 --> 01:17:05,479
Speaker 1: are saying, man, those return guys might get blown up

1740
01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:07,479
Speaker 1: a little bit. I'm not all that sure that it

1741
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 1: doesn't turn it the other way around and say there's

1742
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:12,280
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of big returns going on, because

1743
01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:14,439
Speaker 1: we just don't know yet. I agree. I'm excited to

1744
01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:17,000
Speaker 1: see tomorrow night when the Hall of Fame game comes

1745
01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:18,920
Speaker 1: on and you can kind of see the way people

1746
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:21,960
Speaker 1: are thinking, the way people are going about it, you know, strategically.

1747
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:25,439
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what the first talking about Pat

1748
01:17:25,680 --> 01:17:30,240
Speaker 1: Pat Kerwin yesterday and yeah, I mean there's eight guys

1749
01:17:30,360 --> 01:17:34,840
Speaker 1: up front, so they've got three guys that are not

1750
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,240
Speaker 1: gonna be blocked by the front. Guys are gonna run free.

1751
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:40,200
Speaker 1: Well that's it. Nobody has a safety off. If they decide,

1752
01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:41,760
Speaker 1: you know, we're not going with safety's gonna have three

1753
01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:43,640
Speaker 1: guys run free and run straight to the ball. Or

1754
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:46,040
Speaker 1: if they do keep a safety net, well then you

1755
01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:48,400
Speaker 1: got everybody picked up. And then it becomes about the

1756
01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:52,240
Speaker 1: timing and got you know, it's it's a coinmun Yeah,

1757
01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:54,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun. It'll be fun. Or if people

1758
01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:55,439
Speaker 1: are just gonna continue to kick it out of the

1759
01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:57,799
Speaker 1: back of the end zone, I think they're almost inviting

1760
01:17:57,880 --> 01:18:00,920
Speaker 1: him not to now kind of strap, just give me

1761
01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:03,360
Speaker 1: the twenty five, because the twenty five is you know exactly,

1762
01:18:03,479 --> 01:18:05,400
Speaker 1: especially you know these old coaches, not the old coach

1763
01:18:05,439 --> 01:18:06,920
Speaker 1: of all these guys we grew up. It's the twenty

1764
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:08,840
Speaker 1: yard line. Twenty yard line. Now it's the twenty five,

1765
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:09,880
Speaker 1: and they're like, I don't want to give him that

1766
01:18:09,920 --> 01:18:12,519
Speaker 1: five yards. It is that mentality. So it'll be interesting

1767
01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:14,080
Speaker 1: to see you feel like you're get good luck with that,

1768
01:18:14,120 --> 01:18:15,880
Speaker 1: you feel like you're coached up by him. Right, Yeah,

1769
01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:20,519
Speaker 1: listen more the more it's an old saying, the more

1770
01:18:20,600 --> 01:18:22,639
Speaker 1: you can do the hard yard to cut. Yeah exactly,

1771
01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 1: that's the way it is. Yeah. If it means if

1772
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:28,080
Speaker 1: it means getting soup for the ball boy, I'll get it. Yeah, exactly,

Speaker 1: did you get associated with the Begoula Sports to entertainment?

1811
01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:18,200
Speaker 1: You know what? It all started with the Buffalo Bandits.

1812
01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:22,360
Speaker 1: That was the first place. Shout out to Chris Ann

1813
01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:25,080
Speaker 1: who was a beautiful person and just really looked out

1814
01:20:25,120 --> 01:20:26,760
Speaker 1: and got me an opportunity to do stuff with the

1815
01:20:26,760 --> 01:20:31,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bandits. And then it just grew, you know, Bandits, Sabers, Bills,

1816
01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:36,519
Speaker 1: ub men's basketball, and then all of the Christmas events

1817
01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:39,600
Speaker 1: and seven one six after parties and playoff priorties, and

1818
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:42,560
Speaker 1: then that grew into practice and training camp. So in

1819
01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:46,360
Speaker 1: the last three years, the synergy between you know, the Bills,

1820
01:20:46,439 --> 01:20:50,640
Speaker 1: the Sabers, the Bandits and has really added to the

1821
01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:52,679
Speaker 1: fact that there's a lot of a lot of DJ

1822
01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:54,519
Speaker 1: and to do. I guess, I mean there's a there's

1823
01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:56,600
Speaker 1: an event after event. I mean always. I don't know

1824
01:20:56,640 --> 01:20:59,160
Speaker 1: about you, murf. I was getting notifications there's seven one six,

1825
01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:01,000
Speaker 1: got this thing going on. Yeah, and I know the

1826
01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:02,920
Speaker 1: bills have got stuff going on all times, especially this

1827
01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:04,920
Speaker 1: time of year. And I'm a season ticket hold of

1828
01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:06,559
Speaker 1: the Save, so I always come over and check you. Yea,

1829
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:09,360
Speaker 1: I always come and say hi, I appreciate it. Right, So, right,

1830
01:21:09,920 --> 01:21:12,439
Speaker 1: so it's there's a lot going on. In fact, you

1831
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:14,559
Speaker 1: had to you had to bring some help on too. Yeah,

1832
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:18,200
Speaker 1: we got understanding, yes, yes, sir. You know, just the

1833
01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:21,679
Speaker 1: energy is what makes it move, because if we didn't

1834
01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:23,600
Speaker 1: have the energy, you know, people would be like, you know,

1835
01:21:24,240 --> 01:21:26,240
Speaker 1: stay at home. We don't want to hear that no more.

1836
01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:29,080
Speaker 1: So we're just really happy that everybody is happy with us.

1837
01:21:29,479 --> 01:21:31,439
Speaker 1: So we try to show up and do a good job,

1838
01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:34,120
Speaker 1: you know, make sure everybody's spirit is up in their

1839
01:21:34,280 --> 01:21:37,240
Speaker 1: energy is correct, because you know that's what music can do.

1840
01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:39,880
Speaker 1: Music can pick your energy right up. A song is

1841
01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:43,000
Speaker 1: the best at that. So you know, we just always

1842
01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 1: make sure that we're paying in tune with the people

1843
01:21:45,600 --> 01:21:47,720
Speaker 1: and you know, playing the right songs right. And I

1844
01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:49,640
Speaker 1: think that's kind of a new challenge that we have

1845
01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:52,639
Speaker 1: that we see people across spectrums now, right, we see

1846
01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:55,000
Speaker 1: you might see somebody at ub men's basketball and then

1847
01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:58,240
Speaker 1: the Savers game and Buffalo Bills, and we want the

1848
01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:01,000
Speaker 1: experience to be good and new. So when we were

1849
01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:02,880
Speaker 1: just kind of just doing a few games here and there,

1850
01:22:03,160 --> 01:22:05,639
Speaker 1: we'd have to really worry about being repetitive as well.

1851
01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:09,120
Speaker 1: Now because we're so many places and when DJ and

1852
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:11,840
Speaker 1: for so many different kinds of events, we wanted always

1853
01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:14,160
Speaker 1: to be a great authentic experience. So that's what game

1854
01:22:14,240 --> 01:22:16,200
Speaker 1: Changers kind of became. You know, we're just like, you

1855
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:17,960
Speaker 1: know what, let's be the game changers when it comes

1856
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:20,360
Speaker 1: to this, DJ Milk DJ, Yes, the game changers in

1857
01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:22,040
Speaker 1: the games are one thing. I get that it's an

1858
01:22:22,160 --> 01:22:25,519
Speaker 1: entertainment venue, but what about playing in practices and folks

1859
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:27,200
Speaker 1: should know it's not just here at training camp, but

1860
01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:30,439
Speaker 1: back in newer Afield in the a Pro Sports Training Center.

Speaker 1: virtually every practice playing songs. Yeah, and I gotta say,

1863
01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:38,640
Speaker 1: knowing the little I know about Sean McDermott. He does

1864
01:22:38,680 --> 01:22:40,640
Speaker 1: not seem like the type of guy you would say, oh,

1865
01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:42,560
Speaker 1: we need hip hop music at practice. You know what

1866
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:45,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Sean's a little bit straighter guy than that.

1867
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:47,559
Speaker 1: But here it is. He comes up to you and says,

1868
01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:51,840
Speaker 1: playing practice right. Yeah. I mean, honestly, Sean just coach McDermott.

1869
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:55,479
Speaker 1: I really just He's an incredible guy. Loves music and

1870
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:58,320
Speaker 1: basically kind of put it in our hands when it

1871
01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:00,640
Speaker 1: came to what kind of music we were playing, but

1872
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:04,759
Speaker 1: wanted a certain kind of energy at at at practice.

1873
01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:07,519
Speaker 1: Um and sometimes he'll ask for up tempo, you know.

1874
01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:09,599
Speaker 1: The other day when we were coming back from our break,

1875
01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:12,720
Speaker 1: he's like, you know, let's come back up tempo, let's

1876
01:23:12,760 --> 01:23:15,320
Speaker 1: really push it, you know, and um and and he

1877
01:23:15,439 --> 01:23:17,200
Speaker 1: after practice he said he was happy with it. He

1878
01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:18,960
Speaker 1: was like, that was what we needed on the day back.

1879
01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:21,280
Speaker 1: And that was when I first met coach. I actually

1880
01:23:21,320 --> 01:23:24,479
Speaker 1: met his wife first, and you know, we were talking

1881
01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:27,040
Speaker 1: and she said, I want to tell you something. Sean

1882
01:23:27,200 --> 01:23:31,960
Speaker 1: loves music. Yeah, he's he loves music. He might not

1883
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:33,760
Speaker 1: act like it, like you said, he might not see

1884
01:23:33,800 --> 01:23:36,240
Speaker 1: him like that, that's right, but he loves music, so

1885
01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:39,960
Speaker 1: he's very He's paying attention to the music, He's paying

1886
01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:41,960
Speaker 1: attention to the energy of the music at all the time.

1887
01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:44,479
Speaker 1: I hate a feeling he pays attention to everything. Yeah, yeah,

1888
01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:47,400
Speaker 1: yeah he does. He doesn't miss the thing. Is there

1889
01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:49,840
Speaker 1: a time when you do a Savers game? I'm sure

1890
01:23:49,880 --> 01:23:52,880
Speaker 1: it's different for every venue where you come away and thinking, man,

1891
01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:54,519
Speaker 1: I name, you know I got that gesture. You could

1892
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:56,479
Speaker 1: tell by the way the people acted, by the the

1893
01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:58,400
Speaker 1: way they were moving, by the way the practice went,

1894
01:23:58,560 --> 01:24:00,920
Speaker 1: or and every every event must be a little different,

1895
01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:02,639
Speaker 1: and you kind of I don't know how much feedback

1896
01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:04,720
Speaker 1: you can get because you know, people don't really think

1897
01:24:04,720 --> 01:24:06,920
Speaker 1: about saying hi, do you you know that? Is that

1898
01:24:06,960 --> 01:24:14,000
Speaker 1: your wife? Fine? Um? No, honestly, um, you know it

1899

Speaker 1: left it nailing. Normally, I feel like there's something I

1905
01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:33,639
Speaker 1: could have done to do a better job. I feel

1906

1945
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:32,200
Speaker 1: you kind of as first playing for a practice, you

1946
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:34,519
Speaker 1: want to raise the energy too. There's a there's a

1947
01:26:34,640 --> 01:26:36,240
Speaker 1: script that you follow us. We want to get the

1948
01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:38,479
Speaker 1: energy going to along with a certain script that kind

1949
01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:40,240
Speaker 1: of mimics what's going on on the field. That's right.

1950
01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:41,800
Speaker 1: You know, when they're warming up, you can be a

1951
01:26:41,880 --> 01:26:43,880
Speaker 1: little easy. You know, you want them to, you know,

1952
01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:46,720
Speaker 1: move smoothly through it, so you play stuff that they

1953
01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:49,200
Speaker 1: will move smooth to, you know, But when it's time

1954
01:26:49,240 --> 01:26:52,160
Speaker 1: to move your feet, you know, it's it's hammertime. And

1955
01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:54,320
Speaker 1: what I mean it's it's it's those kind of tempos.

1956
01:26:54,400 --> 01:26:56,719
Speaker 1: You pick up that tempo and when everything is moving

1957
01:26:56,720 --> 01:26:59,240
Speaker 1: a little brisk, you know, two minute drill, you know,

1958
01:26:59,320 --> 01:27:01,080
Speaker 1: you want to have something in sense. You want to

1959
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:05,400
Speaker 1: you know, distracting you know, uh yeah, you know. So

1960
01:27:05,800 --> 01:27:08,479
Speaker 1: it's those kind of things, and you gotta flip. You

1961
01:27:08,520 --> 01:27:10,439
Speaker 1: gotta flip it too, because like we'll play certain kind

1962
01:27:10,479 --> 01:27:12,840
Speaker 1: of trap music in the beginning, which is really more

1963
01:27:12,880 --> 01:27:14,800
Speaker 1: of the more mellow trap, you know what I mean.

1964
01:27:14,880 --> 01:27:17,760
Speaker 1: But then as we get into those later periods, you know,

1965
01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:20,240
Speaker 1: we'll start switching over to Meek Mill and a few

1966
01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:22,800
Speaker 1: other trap songs that are really like you know, they're

1967
01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:25,040
Speaker 1: almost at one thirty two, even though it's kind of

1968
01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:27,160
Speaker 1: a half temple thing on it, and you'll feel it,

1969
01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:31,080
Speaker 1: you'll feel that drive coming from them. Ye have no

1970
01:27:31,200 --> 01:27:33,560
Speaker 1: idea what a lot of kids, I say, you know

1971
01:27:33,600 --> 01:27:38,360
Speaker 1: what I'm talking? Yeah, what are you talking about? A

1972
01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:43,599
Speaker 1: coverage there? Your coverage coverage, music coverage, music coverage. Yea,

1973
01:27:43,640 --> 01:27:45,519
Speaker 1: sometimes you gotta flip it from the from the first

1974
01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:48,240
Speaker 1: period to like the fourth period. Last year, the Bills

1975
01:27:48,240 --> 01:27:50,599
Speaker 1: added you as part of the end stadium pre kick

1976
01:27:50,680 --> 01:27:53,200
Speaker 1: off experience. What's that like? I mean you gotta at

1977
01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:59,880
Speaker 1: seventy eight thousand people filing into the stadium. Yeah, I mean, honestly, yeah,

1978
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:03,200
Speaker 1: that was probably like icing on you. We felt like

1979
01:28:03,280 --> 01:28:04,800
Speaker 1: it was the icing on the cake in so many

1980
01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:06,840
Speaker 1: ways because we have been working real hard. We're doing

1981
01:28:06,880 --> 01:28:09,599
Speaker 1: all this stuff outside new air of field, and then

1982
01:28:09,680 --> 01:28:12,080
Speaker 1: we got invited to come in fifty yard line as

1995
01:28:43,080 --> 01:28:47,400
Speaker 1: side line. Yeah. Ye, that we're there. We're like that

1999
01:28:58,439 --> 01:29:00,720
Speaker 1: so that we're yeah, we're really happy we were. We

2000
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:04,519
Speaker 1: made it through the first season rain, sleet, hail, and snow,

2001
01:29:04,600 --> 01:29:06,920
Speaker 1: which was a big deal for us. When they first

2002
01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:09,040
Speaker 1: asked us to come in DJ at the fifty yard, Like,

2003
01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:11,479
Speaker 1: my first thing was, how can we make sure that

2004
01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:13,680
Speaker 1: we can be out here no matter what the weather is.

2005
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:15,840
Speaker 1: I do not want us to come out here, saying

2006
01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:17,840
Speaker 1: we really believe in the team. We want to be

2007
01:29:17,960 --> 01:29:20,120
Speaker 1: a part of the fan experience. In the moment the

2008
01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:23,240
Speaker 1: weather is in clement, we can't DJ. So they built

2009
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:25,360
Speaker 1: us a box to DJ in and we made it

2010
01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:28,920
Speaker 1: through the Colds game. We made it was there that

2011
01:29:29,200 --> 01:29:32,920
Speaker 1: the last Red and Blue thing too. It was Friday,

2012
01:29:32,960 --> 01:29:38,320
Speaker 1: and we made it through the USA hockey can so great.

2013
01:29:38,400 --> 01:29:41,200
Speaker 1: We've had some real great experience that's experienced ever that day,

2014
01:29:41,320 --> 01:29:45,280
Speaker 1: which one the Canada USA Canada game was incredible. That

2015
01:29:45,400 --> 01:29:47,479
Speaker 1: was as far as just being a DJ out on

2016
01:29:47,560 --> 01:29:51,439
Speaker 1: the field, DJing in that atmosphere, that was incredible. That

2017
01:29:51,439 --> 01:29:54,840
Speaker 1: was Buffalo special. I call it extreme DJA. Where can

2018
01:29:54,880 --> 01:29:57,960
Speaker 1: you guys take this? Uh, Milt's game changers? How how

2019
01:29:58,000 --> 01:29:59,920
Speaker 1: far can you go? How many teams? How many teams

2020
01:30:00,200 --> 01:30:01,920
Speaker 1: this now? And maybe there's another team that you could

2021
01:30:01,920 --> 01:30:04,840
Speaker 1: do this? So there's there's I know about DJs in

2022
01:30:04,880 --> 01:30:09,600
Speaker 1: San Francisco who are doing it now. He's in the

2023
01:30:09,720 --> 01:30:13,640
Speaker 1: stands during the during game. Yeah, Seattle, Um, there's a

2024
01:30:13,680 --> 01:30:15,680
Speaker 1: lot of basketball teams that are doing I think it's

2025
01:30:15,680 --> 01:30:19,160
Speaker 1: a wave of the future. I mean, honestly, I'm interested

2026
01:30:19,400 --> 01:30:21,960
Speaker 1: in not just DJing and being a personal person like

2027
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:23,960
Speaker 1: a personality that everybody knows. Right. People know me as

2028
01:30:24,040 --> 01:30:28,320
Speaker 1: DJ Milk and Buffalo from TV Channel two to everything else. Um.

2029
01:30:28,840 --> 01:30:32,240
Speaker 1: But I'm really interested in programming good music for people

2030
01:30:32,280 --> 01:30:34,679
Speaker 1: to listen to as they're getting ready for sporting events.

2031
01:30:34,960 --> 01:30:38,080
Speaker 1: And I feel like I've locked into a understanding cross

2032
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:41,920
Speaker 1: generations and ethnicities about understanding the mood swings that we

2033
01:30:42,040 --> 01:30:45,160
Speaker 1: go through when we're winning and we're losing, and in

2034
01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:47,640
Speaker 1: all those different dynamics. So I have no idea how

2035
01:30:47,720 --> 01:30:50,639
Speaker 1: many things I could personally DJ, but I'm completely open

2036
01:30:50,680 --> 01:30:53,080
Speaker 1: to help anybody with their music programming. If you're having

2037
01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:55,200
Speaker 1: a moment at your school, if you're kind of trying

2038
01:30:55,200 --> 01:30:57,000
Speaker 1: to figure out what you should play for your young people,

2039
01:30:57,080 --> 01:31:00,360
Speaker 1: high school, college, NFL, whoever it is. I'm I'm an

2040
01:31:00,360 --> 01:31:01,760
Speaker 1: open book when it comes to that because I want

2041
01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:03,360
Speaker 1: everybody to be able to get it right. Life's better

2042
01:31:03,400 --> 01:31:05,320
Speaker 1: with the soundtrack. Yeah, it is, it is, it is,

2043
01:31:05,400 --> 01:31:07,120
Speaker 1: And we always gonna have something special and to take

2044
01:31:07,160 --> 01:31:09,200
Speaker 1: for Buffalo, just so you know I'm saying that, But no,

2045
01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:12,720
Speaker 1: that's always and to go from like the band, it's

2046
01:31:13,200 --> 01:31:15,920
Speaker 1: to the sabers to the bills, you know, like to

2047
01:31:16,120 --> 01:31:19,120
Speaker 1: ub that's kind of like a organic growth, yea. So

2048
01:31:19,320 --> 01:31:21,880
Speaker 1: it's not it's not forced. You know, it's a lot

2049
01:31:21,920 --> 01:31:24,800
Speaker 1: of DJ's out here. You know, nobody was doing this,

2050
01:31:25,360 --> 01:31:27,640
Speaker 1: you know, so that Lane was like this open and

2051
01:31:27,720 --> 01:31:30,320
Speaker 1: we were like there's that, and doing the opening acts

2052
01:31:30,360 --> 01:31:32,839
Speaker 1: for like method Man and Red Man and Arrested Development

2053
01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:35,280
Speaker 1: and just recently this past week in ludicrous. You know,

2054
01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:40,320
Speaker 1: that gives us another opportunity to really perform because everything,

2055
01:31:40,600 --> 01:31:43,479
Speaker 1: everything we do right here is about these really brief

2056
01:31:43,560 --> 01:31:46,439
Speaker 1: moments for the most part, five minutes, ten minutes at

2057
01:31:46,479 --> 01:31:48,599
Speaker 1: the most, maybe twenty minutes we'll have with you as

2058
01:31:48,680 --> 01:31:51,799
Speaker 1: we're playing music. So we have these brief moments with everybody,

2059
01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:54,479
Speaker 1: which I cherished and I really enjoy. But at the

2060
01:31:54,520 --> 01:31:56,479
Speaker 1: same time, it's like I got a few minutes to

2061
01:31:56,560 --> 01:31:58,960
Speaker 1: get it right for you. You know, when we're doing

2062
01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:01,519
Speaker 1: the opening acts stuff, we got people who are there

2063
01:32:01,560 --> 01:32:04,160
Speaker 1: for three hours waiting for the act to go on, right,

2064
01:32:04,320 --> 01:32:07,080
Speaker 1: So we have these long, extended periods with those people,

2065
01:32:07,120 --> 01:32:09,080
Speaker 1: and I enjoyed that too. Well, you're killing it here.

2066
01:32:09,160 --> 01:32:12,479
Speaker 1: You'll be here tomorrow, right, Yes, every every day, every

2067
01:32:12,520 --> 01:32:14,680
Speaker 1: day of training camp will be here. And we're big

2068
01:32:14,720 --> 01:32:18,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills fans as well Sabers fans, bandits. You know,

2069
01:32:18,280 --> 01:32:21,800
Speaker 1: we really love the teams so that you know, I

2070
01:32:21,960 --> 01:32:24,760
Speaker 1: love to be a part of it. Yeah, it's come true.

2071
01:32:24,800 --> 01:32:27,120
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm on the team and you with

2072
01:32:27,240 --> 01:32:29,400
Speaker 1: the coach having us, you know, he's like, yo, you

2073
01:32:29,479 --> 01:32:31,200
Speaker 1: guys are on the team. He let us come in

2074
01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:33,120
Speaker 1: the huddle a couple of times right before we went

2075
01:32:33,160 --> 01:32:35,920
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, he let us coming the huddle and talk. Yeah.

2076
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:39,840
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. Did he didn't tell he brought

2077
01:32:39,880 --> 01:32:41,400
Speaker 1: us out one time, Yeah, you know, just to let

2078
01:32:41,439 --> 01:32:42,920
Speaker 1: people know who we were and that we would be

2079
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:47,599
Speaker 1: rocking with talking post practice. Yeah twice. Well go get

2080
01:32:47,680 --> 01:32:51,400
Speaker 1: him right and say, hey, I guess it's like, oh,

2081
01:32:51,600 --> 01:32:54,320
Speaker 1: you know what, honestly, I kind of I told him

2082
01:32:54,360 --> 01:32:58,720
Speaker 1: that on this particular team, we have a lot of opportunity. Yeah,

2083
01:32:59,080 --> 01:33:02,120
Speaker 1: that's right. Everybody's gonna get a chance to play. That's

2084
01:33:02,200 --> 01:33:04,400
Speaker 1: not on every team. Yeah, yeah, that's right. You know

2085
01:33:04,600 --> 01:33:06,599
Speaker 1: that's a big deal when the NFL, when you get

2086
01:33:06,640 --> 01:33:09,280
Speaker 1: an opportunity actually to touch the field. So you know,

2087
01:33:09,360 --> 01:33:12,040
Speaker 1: with our team, I see, I see a lot of opportunity.

2088
01:33:12,360 --> 01:33:14,160
Speaker 1: So you know that was my work. Yeah, and that's

2089
01:33:14,280 --> 01:33:16,040
Speaker 1: and that's very real. We see it again this year,

2090
01:33:16,160 --> 01:33:18,719
Speaker 1: right with it with the quarterback scenario and the different scenarios.

2091
01:33:18,840 --> 01:33:20,120
Speaker 1: You're like, who's gonna be in it? You know what

2092
01:33:20,200 --> 01:33:22,599
Speaker 1: I mean? That gives people an opportunity to step up

2093
01:33:22,760 --> 01:33:24,920
Speaker 1: and be special. And I told him that. I was like,

2094
01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:27,240
Speaker 1: you know, we have to stay focused. You have to

2095
01:33:27,280 --> 01:33:29,439
Speaker 1: show up every day, right, because that's what I think

2096
01:33:29,439 --> 01:33:31,920
Speaker 1: about when I DJ. My biggest thing is like, first

2097
01:33:31,920 --> 01:33:33,640
Speaker 1: you got to show up and be ready to go

2098
01:33:34,040 --> 01:33:35,920
Speaker 1: before you can talk about any other piece of this.

2099
01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:37,679
Speaker 1: So I was like, yo, sure, and then you also

2100
01:33:37,800 --> 01:33:41,000
Speaker 1: need a little piece of magic, something special, some synergy,

2101
01:33:41,439 --> 01:33:43,400
Speaker 1: you know, And that's the thing that I felt like

2102
01:33:43,640 --> 01:33:45,280
Speaker 1: they were bringing together. I was like, you know, you

2103
01:33:45,320 --> 01:33:48,080
Speaker 1: guys got a vibration and the energy that's raising you

2104
01:33:48,280 --> 01:33:51,519
Speaker 1: up up above that that that standard, right, and then

2105
01:33:51,720 --> 01:33:54,439
Speaker 1: playoffs and those kind of things beginning to happen as well.

Speaker 1: The DJ's the game Changers, DJ Milk and DJ Yes,

2120
01:34:46,040 --> 01:34:48,120
Speaker 1: two good guys. They've been around the Bills now for

2121
01:34:48,640 --> 01:34:51,120
Speaker 1: more than a year and they're very popular. They really

2122
01:34:51,200 --> 01:34:53,280
Speaker 1: do set the tone here at training camp. They do

2123
01:34:53,360 --> 01:34:55,360
Speaker 1: it every day at practice, but fans don't see that,

2124
01:34:55,439 --> 01:34:56,800
Speaker 1: but we see it in the field house, you know

2125
01:34:56,800 --> 01:34:58,800
Speaker 1: what I mean. We see how they kind of set

2126
01:34:58,840 --> 01:35:01,400
Speaker 1: the tone for practice for those players. And it's interesting

2127
01:35:01,479 --> 01:35:03,519
Speaker 1: too because I'm sure and he said, some of the

2128
01:35:03,560 --> 01:35:05,080
Speaker 1: players do you always got to come over and ask,

2129
01:35:05,160 --> 01:35:07,759
Speaker 1: you know, make requests. I mean, that's it's oldest radio itself,

2130
01:35:07,840 --> 01:35:10,439
Speaker 1: you know, making requests on the air. But I'm sure

2131
01:35:10,520 --> 01:35:12,599
Speaker 1: that some of those guys had them put together playlists,

2132
01:35:12,600 --> 01:35:14,880
Speaker 1: pregame playlist for them for their headphones in the locker room.

2133
01:35:14,920 --> 01:35:17,759
Speaker 1: Guys called come in and have and put a headset

2134
01:35:17,840 --> 01:35:19,720
Speaker 1: on and get while they're getting dressed and stuff so

2135
01:35:19,760 --> 01:35:21,360
Speaker 1: they can listen to their own playlist or while they

2136
01:35:21,439 --> 01:35:25,040
Speaker 1: drive to the stadium. That's everybody does that, and I'm

2137
01:35:25,120 --> 01:35:27,120
Speaker 1: sure that those guys probably put that together. For some

2138
01:35:27,240 --> 01:35:28,599
Speaker 1: of the guys on the on the team, I didn't

2139
01:35:28,600 --> 01:35:29,960
Speaker 1: ask them about that. I don't have to find that out.

2140

2231
01:40:14,280 --> 01:40:17,840
Speaker 1: want to run vy you Mets give up twenty five runs.

2232
01:40:18,280 --> 01:40:20,240
Speaker 1: They were like thirteen runs in the first two innings.

2233
01:40:20,280 --> 01:40:23,280
Speaker 1: I think something like that crazy. I mean, I get bad.

2234
01:40:23,439 --> 01:40:26,040
Speaker 1: I've seen bad teams. I've seen bad baseball teams, but

2235
01:40:26,280 --> 01:40:29,519
Speaker 1: twenty five runs, Are you kidding me? It's hard to do.

2236
01:40:29,600 --> 01:40:32,360
Speaker 1: It's awful. They got They got beat by three touchdowns.

2237
01:40:33,560 --> 01:40:37,000
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing. Sean Merriman signs a contract with

2238
01:40:37,160 --> 01:40:41,160
Speaker 1: the World Bare Knuckle Fighting Association. I think it's called

2239
01:40:41,240 --> 01:40:43,799
Speaker 1: let me get the correct name, because it's important. Sean Merriman,

2240
01:40:43,840 --> 01:40:45,160
Speaker 1: who spent a year in a little bit more than

2241
01:40:45,200 --> 01:40:46,920
Speaker 1: a year with the Buffalo Bills, didn't play much here.

2242
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:50,000
Speaker 1: He was all banged up the World Bare Knuckle Fighting Federation.

2243
01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:53,160
Speaker 1: He had talked about doing martial arts for a while.

2244
01:40:53,560 --> 01:40:56,080
Speaker 1: Three time Pro Bowl player with the San Diego Chargers,

2245
01:40:57,040 --> 01:40:59,519
Speaker 1: lights Out was his nickname. Retired from football in two

2246
01:40:59,560 --> 01:41:01,760
Speaker 1: thousand team a little bit more than a year with

2247
01:41:01,800 --> 01:41:04,880
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Great guy. I like Sean Merriman. I

2248
01:41:04,920 --> 01:41:06,599
Speaker 1: wish he could have been more productive in a short

2249
01:41:06,640 --> 01:41:12,040
Speaker 1: stint with the Bills. Like him and yeah bare knuckle though.

2250
01:41:12,160 --> 01:41:13,880
Speaker 1: But well, here's the thing about Sean that I guess

2251
01:41:14,760 --> 01:41:17,000
Speaker 1: he likes the spotlight, which is okay. I mean, he

2252
01:41:17,040 --> 01:41:19,439
Speaker 1: had a nickname, lights Out. I got the spotlight. In

2253
01:41:19,520 --> 01:41:22,559
Speaker 1: his collegiate career at Maryland was a big time NFL

2254
01:41:22,720 --> 01:41:25,439
Speaker 1: performer with the Chargers, not so much here in Buffalo.

2255
01:41:25,520 --> 01:41:27,160
Speaker 1: But it doesn't surprise me that he wants to be

2256
01:41:27,240 --> 01:41:28,960
Speaker 1: in the in the ring, you know, to be the

2257
01:41:29,000 --> 01:41:30,840
Speaker 1: center of attention. Again, he's one of those kind of guys.

2258
01:41:30,960 --> 01:41:33,679
Speaker 1: Yeah guy, yeah, yeah, And that's that's not a knock

2259
01:41:33,760 --> 01:41:36,480
Speaker 1: on him. It's just kind of what feeds his personality.

2260
01:41:36,560 --> 01:41:40,760
Speaker 1: And I guess you're willing to do when it does that.

2261
01:41:40,920 --> 01:41:43,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you kind of pursue things that put you

2262
01:41:43,080 --> 01:41:44,760
Speaker 1: in that spot, and this is one of them. I mean,

2263
01:41:45,120 --> 01:41:47,640
Speaker 1: he had his moments with the San Diego Charger. He

2264
01:41:47,720 --> 01:41:51,519
Speaker 1: was a really dominant player, but for a short period

2265
01:41:51,560 --> 01:41:55,160
Speaker 1: of time and then, uh now yet we haven't heard.

2266
01:41:55,200 --> 01:41:57,840
Speaker 1: He's done some broadcasting stuff. I've seen him on the

2267
01:41:57,960 --> 01:42:00,280
Speaker 1: NFL network. He's pretty good and he is he is,

2268
01:42:00,439 --> 01:42:02,280
Speaker 1: and he's got an engaging personality. Like you said, it

2269
01:42:02,400 --> 01:42:04,920
Speaker 1: comes through on the air. So it's a it's something

2270
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:08,439
Speaker 1: that fits him. But man, oh man, Murph, bare knuckle,

2271
01:42:10,640 --> 01:42:13,759
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's not boxing really, it ain't boxing,

2272
01:42:14,160 --> 01:42:19,679
Speaker 1: and it's not even UFC. It's it's boxing without gloves dangers. Yeah,

2273
01:42:19,800 --> 01:42:23,000
Speaker 1: bare knuckle, I've never seen that. You're standing is he

2274
01:42:23,080 --> 01:42:24,920
Speaker 1: and a martial arts guy too? Has he been doing

2275
01:42:24,960 --> 01:42:27,040
Speaker 1: He's talked about doing martial arts. Yeah, he dabbled in

2276
01:42:27,160 --> 01:42:28,800
Speaker 1: it a little bit. Well, so he I mean, it's

2277
01:42:28,840 --> 01:42:31,720
Speaker 1: obviously I'm plus. I mean he's knowing him and knowing

2278
01:42:31,760 --> 01:42:33,240
Speaker 1: the kind of where he came from in the NFL.

2279
01:42:33,280 --> 01:42:34,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you're not gonna scare any of those guys.

2280
01:42:34,920 --> 01:42:36,479
Speaker 1: They don't. You're not afraid to step into the ring

2281
01:42:36,520 --> 01:42:41,760
Speaker 1: with anybody. So that doesn't surprise me. But there you go.

2282
01:42:42,920 --> 01:42:46,760
Speaker 1: Broadcasting's easier. Yeah. I would watch him though. That's how

2283
01:42:46,840 --> 01:42:48,760
Speaker 1: much I liked the guy from it. I liked him

2284
01:42:48,760 --> 01:42:49,960
Speaker 1: when he was with the Bills. I thought he was

2285
01:42:50,000 --> 01:42:51,920
Speaker 1: a good guy. And if he's gonna do that, I

2286
01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:54,840
Speaker 1: would watch that. I probably wouldn't gather, you know, a

2287
01:42:54,920 --> 01:42:56,720
Speaker 1: bunch of friends or a crowd around to watch. I

2288
01:42:56,760 --> 01:43:01,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't ask my wife, you're not gonna sit at ringside. No,

2289
01:43:01,240 --> 01:43:04,400
Speaker 1: I want to watch it on TV, safely away from

2290
01:43:05,439 --> 01:43:07,960
Speaker 1: get the Raging Bulls platter blood didn't what was it?

2291
01:43:08,040 --> 01:43:12,160
Speaker 1: Had we were talking about the Raging Bulls. We're here

2292
01:43:12,320 --> 01:43:14,120
Speaker 1: till three. We'd love to hear from you. The phone

2293
01:43:14,160 --> 01:43:16,040
Speaker 1: lines open and to talk about this or anything you'd

2294
01:43:16,040 --> 01:43:18,360
Speaker 1: like to talk about. Our topic of the day, after

2295
01:43:18,520 --> 01:43:21,400
Speaker 1: Calvin Benjamin, which Bills wide receiver will have the most

2296
01:43:21,479 --> 01:43:23,720
Speaker 1: receptions at the end of the season, and why you

2297
01:43:23,840 --> 01:43:25,880
Speaker 1: gotta kind of limited the receiver. We know Charles Clay

2298
01:43:25,960 --> 01:43:27,679
Speaker 1: is going to be a factor, We know Lashawan McCoy

2299
01:43:27,800 --> 01:43:30,439
Speaker 1: is gonna make catches. But after Calvin Benjamin, we had

2300
01:43:30,439 --> 01:43:33,599
Speaker 1: on the show at the twelve thirty segment, which Bills

2301
01:43:33,640 --> 01:43:36,200
Speaker 1: wide receiver will have the most receptions? And why? Phone

2302
01:43:36,240 --> 01:43:38,400
Speaker 1: lines open eight o three oh five fifty and toll

2303
01:43:38,479 --> 01:43:41,559
Speaker 1: free one eight eight eight by fifty two five fifty

2304
01:43:41,600 --> 01:43:44,200
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Thirty nine percent do you think it'll be

2305
01:43:44,520 --> 01:43:46,760
Speaker 1: Jeremy Curley? Thirty two percent? If you think it'll be

2306
01:43:46,960 --> 01:43:49,800
Speaker 1: Zay Jones, twenty one percent say another wide receiver on

2307
01:43:49,880 --> 01:43:53,080
Speaker 1: the roster, eight percent say a wide receiver currently not

2308
01:43:53,360 --> 01:43:54,920
Speaker 1: on the roster. Let us know what you think of that.

2309
01:43:55,000 --> 01:43:56,880
Speaker 1: Give us a call. Lines are open at eight oh

2310
01:43:56,960 --> 01:43:59,679
Speaker 1: three oh five fifty and toll free one eight eight

2311
01:44:01,120 --> 01:44:05,120
Speaker 1: twenty one votes on the Twitter poll so far. Yeah, so, Stephen,

2312
01:44:05,160 --> 01:44:07,120
Speaker 1: I drive down here in the morning. We have conversations

2313
01:44:07,160 --> 01:44:09,479
Speaker 1: about a lot of things, including football and the bills.

2314
01:44:09,800 --> 01:44:13,559
Speaker 1: We got talking today about a quality that I think

2315
01:44:13,640 --> 01:44:17,360
Speaker 1: that's undervalued when it comes to measuring a player's success

2316
01:44:17,479 --> 01:44:20,200
Speaker 1: or figuring out who's going to be successful maybe more appropriately,

2317
01:44:20,520 --> 01:44:22,439
Speaker 1: and to have Calvin Benjamin here a twelve thirty it

2318
01:44:22,479 --> 01:44:25,360
Speaker 1: struck me again, how this is a guy, Calvin Benjamin.

2319
01:44:25,400 --> 01:44:26,720
Speaker 1: I look up his age. I want to say, he's

2320
01:44:26,720 --> 01:44:30,760
Speaker 1: twenty nine years old. By now. Maturity, Steve, maturity. We

2321
01:44:31,280 --> 01:44:33,080
Speaker 1: can all use a little more of it, right, But

2322
01:44:33,880 --> 01:44:35,800
Speaker 1: I think when he comes to figuring out who's going

2323
01:44:35,840 --> 01:44:39,040
Speaker 1: to be successful in the NFL, it is an underrated factor.

2324
01:44:39,360 --> 01:44:41,599
Speaker 1: I think a mature player, a guy who's been around

2325
01:44:41,600 --> 01:44:44,519
Speaker 1: a little bit. Calvin Benjamin is twenty seven years old.

2326
01:44:44,880 --> 01:44:46,640
Speaker 1: A guy like him who's been around a little bit

2327
01:44:46,680 --> 01:44:49,679
Speaker 1: four or five years in the league, knows what's expected,

2328
01:44:49,800 --> 01:44:52,760
Speaker 1: knows how to work, knows what the demands are. That

2329
01:44:52,920 --> 01:44:54,840
Speaker 1: goes a long way. And this goes back to the point,

2330
01:44:54,920 --> 01:44:58,040
Speaker 1: and this is what got our discussion going. Yesterday. Peter

2331
01:44:58,200 --> 01:45:00,960
Speaker 1: King on the show talked about how effort is big.

2332
01:45:01,080 --> 01:45:03,600
Speaker 1: You know, an effort might outweigh talent, which may or

2333
01:45:03,680 --> 01:45:05,920
Speaker 1: may not be true effort. I think I put on

2334
01:45:06,040 --> 01:45:09,080
Speaker 1: the same category as maturity, because if you're mature enough

2335
01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:11,439
Speaker 1: and understand the NFL and understand what it takes to

2336
01:45:11,520 --> 01:45:13,920
Speaker 1: be a player, your effort will be there can measure

2337
01:45:13,960 --> 01:45:16,200
Speaker 1: it with what is expected. A lot of guys aren't

2338
01:45:16,240 --> 01:45:18,320
Speaker 1: that way. No they're not. Not all of them are.

2339
01:45:18,560 --> 01:45:19,920
Speaker 1: But let's face it too. I mean, you got a

2340
01:45:19,960 --> 01:45:23,679
Speaker 1: guy and here's the thing you don't get. They draft

2341
01:45:23,720 --> 01:45:26,920
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds this year. He's nineteen on the day they

2342
01:45:27,000 --> 01:45:30,400
Speaker 1: draft him. He is as mature as anybody in the

2343
01:45:30,439 --> 01:45:35,639
Speaker 1: Bills locker room at nineteen. He's got a great sense

2344
01:45:35,680 --> 01:45:39,920
Speaker 1: of self. He's committed, he's serious. He has fun, no question,

2345
01:45:40,040 --> 01:45:43,320
Speaker 1: but he is a he's a professional, has a professional

2346
01:45:43,479 --> 01:45:46,920
Speaker 1: mindset at a very young age, and that's going to

2347
01:45:47,320 --> 01:45:49,760
Speaker 1: serve him well. You get other guys, and we were

2348
01:45:49,760 --> 01:45:51,960
Speaker 1: talking about former players that we'd seen come through the

2349
01:45:52,040 --> 01:45:54,400
Speaker 1: Bills locker room. But Drew Bledsoe was a veteran when

2350
01:45:54,439 --> 01:45:58,000
Speaker 1: he got here. I'm a tour well rounded person and

2351
01:45:58,560 --> 01:46:01,120
Speaker 1: a good quarterback who had an a at a very

2352
01:46:01,200 --> 01:46:04,559
Speaker 1: good career, a great career in the NFL. And then

2353
01:46:04,640 --> 01:46:07,200
Speaker 1: you contrast him with a guy like JP Lossman, who

2354
01:46:07,240 --> 01:46:08,800
Speaker 1: came in was young and it was kind of silly,

2355
01:46:09,320 --> 01:46:11,400
Speaker 1: kind of giggled around and you know that kind of

2356
01:46:11,560 --> 01:46:14,360
Speaker 1: and it was that kind of atmosphere. Both guys are bright,

2357
01:46:14,439 --> 01:46:17,240
Speaker 1: both guys have a lot going on, but it's right both.

2358
01:46:17,479 --> 01:46:21,400
Speaker 1: But the maturity level prevented a guy like JP Lossman

2359
01:46:21,439 --> 01:46:23,920
Speaker 1: from making a connection between what he did and how

2360
01:46:24,040 --> 01:46:27,080
Speaker 1: he acted and where he went how he'd lived the

2361
01:46:27,160 --> 01:46:30,799
Speaker 1: rest of his life. The connection wasn't there for football.

2362
01:46:31,040 --> 01:46:33,200
Speaker 1: He didn't see it affecting his football. He didn't see

2363
01:46:33,200 --> 01:46:37,880
Speaker 1: it helping or derailing his football career. And mature guys

2364
01:46:38,880 --> 01:46:41,960
Speaker 1: do see that connection, and for that reason they get

2365
01:46:42,040 --> 01:46:45,200
Speaker 1: better and better and better. Smart guys and mature guys

2366
01:46:45,240 --> 01:46:48,120
Speaker 1: get better and better better throughout their career until their

2367
01:46:48,160 --> 01:46:50,519
Speaker 1: physical qualities go away, you know, until they till they

2368
01:46:50,600 --> 01:46:53,280
Speaker 1: lose them because of age. Young guys who are immature,

2369
01:46:53,560 --> 01:46:56,439
Speaker 1: no matter how gifted they are, they're the same guy

2370
01:46:57,720 --> 01:46:59,519
Speaker 1: laid in their career. If they are if they managed

2371
01:46:59,520 --> 01:47:01,120
Speaker 1: to put together they're a good career, they're the same

2372
01:47:01,160 --> 01:47:02,800
Speaker 1: guy lad in their careers. They are early in their

2373
01:47:02,840 --> 01:47:05,439
Speaker 1: career because they're lack of maturity. Look anybody who's around

2374
01:47:05,479 --> 01:47:08,960
Speaker 1: back then, and it's fifteen years ago now, and observed J. P.

2375
01:47:09,160 --> 01:47:11,439
Speaker 1: Lassman at the time. And I'm not picking on him.

2376
01:47:11,439 --> 01:47:12,720
Speaker 1: He's a good guy. And I'm on the show a

2377
01:47:12,800 --> 01:47:15,880
Speaker 1: year ago. He's grown up at a different guy. Anybody

2378
01:47:15,920 --> 01:47:17,639
Speaker 1: back then who thought this guy has what it takes

2379
01:47:17,680 --> 01:47:21,160
Speaker 1: to be an NFL quarterback now was kidding themselves. Lassman

2380
01:47:21,280 --> 01:47:22,760
Speaker 1: was in mature. He was a kid. He was too

2381
01:47:22,880 --> 01:47:24,760
Speaker 1: much of a kid. You couldn't plug him in to

2382
01:47:24,800 --> 01:47:26,680
Speaker 1: say here, here's your team now. You couldn't do that

2383
01:47:26,800 --> 01:47:29,840
Speaker 1: with him. And there are more recent examples. I think

2384
01:47:29,840 --> 01:47:32,040
Speaker 1: a maturity a lot when I watch Shack Lawson, who

2385
01:47:32,080 --> 01:47:35,200
Speaker 1: I think is working hard here and is finally, it seems,

2386
01:47:36,040 --> 01:47:39,519
Speaker 1: taking upon himself to understand what goes on in the

2387
01:47:39,640 --> 01:47:41,400
Speaker 1: NFL and what his role might be on this team

2388
01:47:41,439 --> 01:47:43,720
Speaker 1: and what he needs to do to contribute to this team.

2389
01:47:43,760 --> 01:47:46,479
Speaker 1: He wasn't that way his first year, even his second year.

2390
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:49,160
Speaker 1: Last year, he got he got older, he got mature,

2391
01:47:49,200 --> 01:47:51,400
Speaker 1: and I think it's a I don't think people appreciate

2392
01:47:51,479 --> 01:47:54,000
Speaker 1: that enough. And you mentioned Tremaine Edmonds, a rookie just

2393
01:47:54,120 --> 01:47:56,000
Speaker 1: twenty years old, Just twenty years old acop a month

2394
01:47:56,040 --> 01:47:58,920
Speaker 1: or two ago. It's not about age. Tremaine Edmonds with

2395
01:47:59,040 --> 01:48:01,960
Speaker 1: his background and his family in football. It's about maturity

2396
01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:03,720
Speaker 1: and the way he approaches the game, and that I

2397
01:48:03,800 --> 01:48:07,160
Speaker 1: don't think people appreciate enough. We listened to Peter King,

2398
01:48:07,240 --> 01:48:08,920
Speaker 1: he was on our show yesterday, heard a replay of

2399
01:48:08,960 --> 01:48:11,360
Speaker 1: a sound bite when he's talking about effort. It's effort,

2400
01:48:11,400 --> 01:48:14,360
Speaker 1: I think, but also maturity and an understanding of what

2401
01:48:14,720 --> 01:48:17,320
Speaker 1: is required. What do I need to do? Um, what

2402
01:48:17,439 --> 01:48:21,519
Speaker 1: are the expectations for me on this team? And until

2403
01:48:21,640 --> 01:48:23,400
Speaker 1: players get to that, I don't think they can be

2404
01:48:23,600 --> 01:48:25,800
Speaker 1: ultimately successful. One of the things we've seen as well,

2405
01:48:25,840 --> 01:48:28,560
Speaker 1: and I don't want to use it, we say maturity,

2406
01:48:28,600 --> 01:48:30,560
Speaker 1: and if another word I could use for it is

2407
01:48:30,560 --> 01:48:35,280
Speaker 1: a level of seriousness about why they're here, a serious

2408
01:48:35,360 --> 01:48:38,680
Speaker 1: level of seriousness about how important this all is to

2409
01:48:38,920 --> 01:48:42,800
Speaker 1: them and how everything affects that. And some guys just

2410
01:48:42,920 --> 01:48:46,519
Speaker 1: don't have that. It's a it's a cliche almost to

2411
01:48:46,600 --> 01:48:48,840
Speaker 1: say and to set put guys into am you know,

2412
01:48:48,960 --> 01:48:52,120
Speaker 1: into this stereotype that we've seen happen other times where

2413
01:48:52,840 --> 01:48:56,720
Speaker 1: they are so physically gifted that it has always been

2414
01:48:56,760 --> 01:48:58,680
Speaker 1: easy for them. They've always been and when they were

2415
01:48:58,880 --> 01:49:00,640
Speaker 1: when they were eight years old, were the best kid

2416
01:49:00,720 --> 01:49:02,439
Speaker 1: on their team. When they were twelve years old, they

2417
01:49:02,439 --> 01:49:03,760
Speaker 1: were the best kid on their team. When they go

2418
01:49:03,800 --> 01:49:05,280
Speaker 1: through high school, they were the best kid on their

2419
01:49:05,280 --> 01:49:08,519
Speaker 1: team as a freshman and a sophomore, junior, and a senior.

2420
01:49:08,880 --> 01:49:11,000
Speaker 1: They get to college and they were the best player

2421
01:49:11,720 --> 01:49:14,840
Speaker 1: in college. They played and had a great college career,

2422
01:49:14,920 --> 01:49:18,960
Speaker 1: and their schoolwork didn't take a back seat, you know,

2423
01:49:19,680 --> 01:49:21,960
Speaker 1: it took a back seat to everything they were. They

2424
01:49:22,000 --> 01:49:25,320
Speaker 1: were ushered through the hallways of whatever institution they happened

2425
01:49:25,320 --> 01:49:27,120
Speaker 1: to be in. They were given a pass and a

2426
01:49:27,200 --> 01:49:30,439
Speaker 1: lot of respects in life socially because they were this

2427
01:49:30,880 --> 01:49:33,280
Speaker 1: great athlete. And when they get to the level of

2428
01:49:33,320 --> 01:49:36,200
Speaker 1: the NFL and they walk in a locker room full

2429
01:49:36,240 --> 01:49:40,200
Speaker 1: of guys just like them, where their physical abilities are

2430
01:49:40,320 --> 01:49:42,479
Speaker 1: just the ticket to get in the door. They don't

2431
01:49:42,520 --> 01:49:44,320
Speaker 1: get you anything else. They don't get you a spot

2432
01:49:44,360 --> 01:49:46,720
Speaker 1: on the roster, they don't get you playing time, they

2433
01:49:46,760 --> 01:49:51,160
Speaker 1: don't get you opportunities. They just give you a contract

2434
01:49:51,720 --> 01:49:54,520
Speaker 1: to give it a shot. And it's a big adjustment

2435
01:49:54,600 --> 01:49:59,200
Speaker 1: for them when finally they look around and they're not

2436
01:49:59,320 --> 01:50:03,960
Speaker 1: able to keep up physically, or they're not dominating physically.

2437
01:50:04,080 --> 01:50:06,360
Speaker 1: They're getting shown up once in a while by a

2438
01:50:06,400 --> 01:50:09,040
Speaker 1: guy they're competing against or one of the other players

2439
01:50:09,080 --> 01:50:12,639
Speaker 1: that their position group is doing things that they can't

2440
01:50:12,680 --> 01:50:16,679
Speaker 1: do or haven't been able to do, and they're making

2441
01:50:16,920 --> 01:50:19,479
Speaker 1: or they're making mistakes mentally on the on the practice

2442
01:50:19,640 --> 01:50:21,240
Speaker 1: field by not doing the right thing, not being in

2443
01:50:21,240 --> 01:50:24,040
Speaker 1: the right spot and making a mental mistake or running

2444
01:50:24,080 --> 01:50:26,439
Speaker 1: the wrong play, and they're getting called out for it.

2445
01:50:27,360 --> 01:50:30,679
Speaker 1: They go through that, and there's and it's a matter

2446
01:50:30,760 --> 01:50:33,960
Speaker 1: of time before something in them just makes them decide,

2447
01:50:34,400 --> 01:50:36,040
Speaker 1: I've got to live my life a different way as

2448
01:50:36,080 --> 01:50:38,920
Speaker 1: a professional athlete. Some guys never get it or or

2449
01:50:39,000 --> 01:50:41,040
Speaker 1: don't get it in time. Yeah, and this is worth

2450
01:50:41,080 --> 01:50:43,400
Speaker 1: mentioning too. I don't know we're on this tangent because

2451
01:50:43,400 --> 01:50:45,080
Speaker 1: we talked about it in the car coming on their

2452
01:50:45,080 --> 01:50:48,000
Speaker 1: way down here. Um, but I think it's important and

2453
01:50:48,040 --> 01:50:50,799
Speaker 1: I think it's important. It struck me yesterday with Harrison Phillips,

2454
01:50:50,840 --> 01:50:53,560
Speaker 1: how mature and serious he was about being here. You know,

2455
01:50:53,800 --> 01:50:56,240
Speaker 1: not a silly guy at all. Doesn't mean he's not

2456
01:50:56,320 --> 01:50:59,719
Speaker 1: fun loving or a good guy, but he's mature. Humility

2457
01:50:59,760 --> 01:51:01,599
Speaker 1: is a part of it. Yeah, Humility is a part

2458
01:51:01,640 --> 01:51:03,840
Speaker 1: of We asked him the question about being compared to

2459
01:51:04,080 --> 01:51:05,920
Speaker 1: Kyle Williams, and he wanted to know part of he'sa listen,

2460
01:51:05,960 --> 01:51:07,920
Speaker 1: I haven't even played it down and he's and he's

2461
01:51:07,920 --> 01:51:11,760
Speaker 1: an iconic pro Bowl a pro type of player and

2462
01:51:11,840 --> 01:51:13,560
Speaker 1: has been for thirteen years. And I'm you know, I

2463
01:51:13,600 --> 01:51:17,040
Speaker 1: haven't even suited up in a game yet. So while

2464
01:51:17,080 --> 01:51:20,479
Speaker 1: he appreciated it and saw where it came from, he

2465
01:51:20,560 --> 01:51:24,719
Speaker 1: knew too, he's he's got a lot to prove about himself.

2466
01:51:24,800 --> 01:51:27,479
Speaker 1: Forget about being like Kyle Williams. The other thing I

2467
01:51:27,560 --> 01:51:30,160
Speaker 1: want to say about the maturity thing, which is my issue. Look,

2468
01:51:30,200 --> 01:51:33,000
Speaker 1: I know this is I'm just mouthing off here. If

2469
01:51:33,320 --> 01:51:36,280
Speaker 1: an immature or not quite fully mature player gets put

2470
01:51:36,360 --> 01:51:39,280
Speaker 1: in a drafted or put on a team where there's

2471
01:51:39,320 --> 01:51:41,960
Speaker 1: not a whole lot of expected they don't grow up.

2472
01:51:42,400 --> 01:51:45,000
Speaker 1: And to be honest, I think Shack Lawson fell victim

2473
01:51:45,040 --> 01:51:47,240
Speaker 1: of that. You know, came in here two years ago,

2474
01:51:47,360 --> 01:51:49,400
Speaker 1: two years ago, undrafted, came to a team where there

2475
01:51:49,520 --> 01:51:52,559
Speaker 1: was not a whole high level of expectation and demands

2476
01:51:52,920 --> 01:51:55,120
Speaker 1: put on him under Rex Ryan. You know what I mean.

2477
01:51:55,400 --> 01:51:58,040
Speaker 1: And that's the case. You don't grow up, you don't

2478
01:51:58,120 --> 01:51:59,600
Speaker 1: make the plays that you got to make and I

2479
01:51:59,640 --> 01:52:01,960
Speaker 1: think he kind of felt victim think about different the

2480
01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:04,200
Speaker 1: atmosphere in that room. Even Marcel Darius was in that

2481
01:52:04,320 --> 01:52:07,240
Speaker 1: room too, right, right, So there wasn't like and now

2482
01:52:07,360 --> 01:52:10,080
Speaker 1: Kyle was in there too, but you know, Kyle wasn't

2483
01:52:10,120 --> 01:52:12,000
Speaker 1: being asked to lead like he's been asked to lead

2484
01:52:12,479 --> 01:52:16,320
Speaker 1: under the Sean McDermott, right. He was leading by example,

2485
01:52:16,920 --> 01:52:19,200
Speaker 1: not with his words or not. And there weren't any

2486
01:52:19,520 --> 01:52:22,920
Speaker 1: outside expectations placed on Marcel Darius. There weren't outside expectations

2487
01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:25,400
Speaker 1: placed on Shack Lawson. They were just say you could

2488
01:52:25,439 --> 01:52:27,760
Speaker 1: come in be you, you know, just just do your thing.

2489
01:52:27,840 --> 01:52:30,200
Speaker 1: You're you're good enough, You're you're probably good enough, you know,

2490
01:52:30,360 --> 01:52:34,000
Speaker 1: and you didn't, you know, and to hear Lorenzo Alexander

2491
01:52:34,080 --> 01:52:36,320
Speaker 1: or yougo talk about or two years ago, yeah, you know,

2492
01:52:36,400 --> 01:52:38,560
Speaker 1: we had guys bringing food into the meeting rooms and

2493
01:52:38,680 --> 01:52:40,760
Speaker 1: this was going on there. That kind of atmosphere for

2494
01:52:40,800 --> 01:52:43,320
Speaker 1: an immature player would be poison. I think like, oh,

2495
01:52:43,640 --> 01:52:47,320
Speaker 1: that's the standard okay and standards good. Yeah, yeah, And

2496
01:52:47,479 --> 01:52:50,360
Speaker 1: that's that's the atmospere and that's the culture that has

2497
01:52:50,400 --> 01:52:53,400
Speaker 1: been totally turned upside down order Sean McDermott. I mean

2498
01:52:53,400 --> 01:52:55,679
Speaker 1: we were laughing with the you know, the two DJs,

2499
01:52:55,720 --> 01:52:57,720
Speaker 1: DJ Milk and DJ Yes. They were like going, you know,

2500
01:52:57,800 --> 01:53:01,320
Speaker 1: you got to think about everything, and he says, DJ said,

2501
01:53:01,520 --> 01:53:04,360
Speaker 1: DJ Milks sold us that he met his or no,

2502
01:53:04,680 --> 01:53:07,640
Speaker 1: DJ Yes said he met Sean mcdermot's wife before he

2503
01:53:07,760 --> 01:53:11,240
Speaker 1: met Sean, and she said he loves music and so

2504
01:53:11,439 --> 01:53:13,519
Speaker 1: he pays it, so he pays attention. I didn't know

2505
01:53:13,560 --> 01:53:15,519
Speaker 1: he was paying attention to that kind of stuff. And

2506
01:53:15,800 --> 01:53:18,920
Speaker 1: we thought and talking about the culture change. Sean McDermott

2507
01:53:19,360 --> 01:53:23,280
Speaker 1: notices everything. He pays attention to everything, and his players

2508
01:53:23,320 --> 01:53:25,600
Speaker 1: are finding that out and they're living like that, and

2509
01:53:25,720 --> 01:53:28,000
Speaker 1: the culture is like that. Not only do they pay

2510
01:53:28,040 --> 01:53:30,120
Speaker 1: attention to what they're doing, they're helping the other guys

2511
01:53:30,120 --> 01:53:33,760
Speaker 1: in the room pay attention as well. And that you

2512
01:53:33,880 --> 01:53:36,680
Speaker 1: talk about, you know, the young guys who am an

2513
01:53:36,720 --> 01:53:39,559
Speaker 1: immature kid who gets drafted by a team. With this culture,

2514
01:53:40,960 --> 01:53:43,240
Speaker 1: they're teaching him how to be mature girl and they're

2515
01:53:43,280 --> 01:53:45,880
Speaker 1: expecting him to be and they're they're teaching him that

2516
01:53:45,960 --> 01:53:49,760
Speaker 1: that's what he should expect from himself. And that's light

2517
01:53:49,840 --> 01:53:55,160
Speaker 1: years from where we've seen this organization come from at

2518
01:53:55,200 --> 01:53:57,360
Speaker 1: times and during the drought. So again, why do I

2519
01:53:57,479 --> 01:53:59,840
Speaker 1: get on this topic because the Peter King comment, Yes,

2520
01:54:00,000 --> 01:54:01,800
Speaker 1: it kind of sparked it this morning, and I think

2521
01:54:01,840 --> 01:54:03,760
Speaker 1: it's just a different way to when this time of

2522
01:54:03,840 --> 01:54:05,840
Speaker 1: year and over the next month, all of us will

2523
01:54:05,880 --> 01:54:08,080
Speaker 1: be looking at players and evaluating does he stay, does

2524
01:54:08,160 --> 01:54:09,640
Speaker 1: he go? Does he able? It takes us he had

2525
01:54:09,680 --> 01:54:12,559
Speaker 1: bust as he for real. Keep in mind, players develop,

2526
01:54:12,680 --> 01:54:16,240
Speaker 1: players get more mature. Sometimes many players get better, and

2527
01:54:16,439 --> 01:54:18,760
Speaker 1: many players need a chance to grow up before they

2528
01:54:18,800 --> 01:54:20,760
Speaker 1: can really get better. That's right, And you have you

2529
01:54:20,840 --> 01:54:22,560
Speaker 1: have to decide, and it's up to the club and

2530
01:54:22,560 --> 01:54:25,719
Speaker 1: the coaching staff to decide. You know, where's the where's

2531
01:54:25,760 --> 01:54:28,479
Speaker 1: the balance? You know where when's this going to outweigh

2532
01:54:28,520 --> 01:54:30,840
Speaker 1: what we have to wait all day? When does they

2533
01:54:30,920 --> 01:54:36,440
Speaker 1: wait outweigh outweigh the reward? And that's uh, that's what

2534
01:54:36,560 --> 01:54:39,840
Speaker 1: you got to decide. Thanks for listening about that. No, seriously,

2535
01:54:39,880 --> 01:54:41,360
Speaker 1: it was a conversation that began in the car and

2536
01:54:41,400 --> 01:54:43,400
Speaker 1: I finally finished it off. And you had something today

2537
01:54:43,760 --> 01:54:45,920
Speaker 1: started in the car and it had to do with

2538
01:54:46,040 --> 01:54:49,040
Speaker 1: the way practice goes. And we're here every day evaluating

2539
01:54:49,120 --> 01:54:52,800
Speaker 1: watching practice, is he good plays bad plays? Your point was,

2540
01:54:52,960 --> 01:54:55,920
Speaker 1: especially when the team's practicing against each other, sometimes the

2541
01:54:56,000 --> 01:54:58,320
Speaker 1: good plays are the result of a letdown, a breakdown

2542
01:54:58,360 --> 01:55:00,520
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball, right, Oh yeah, yeah,

2543
01:55:00,760 --> 01:55:02,320
Speaker 1: you see it a lot, and I saw it today

2544
01:55:02,320 --> 01:55:04,200
Speaker 1: and we talked about it earlier in the show where

2545
01:55:04,320 --> 01:55:06,840
Speaker 1: you saw now for the first time where both sides

2546
01:55:06,840 --> 01:55:09,480
Speaker 1: of the ball are playing well and you you know,

2547
01:55:09,560 --> 01:55:11,680
Speaker 1: the offense will get a play against the defense, but

2548
01:55:11,760 --> 01:55:15,200
Speaker 1: there they defended it. Yeah, or you know, or vice

2549
01:55:15,320 --> 01:55:17,400
Speaker 1: versa where the offense has got a pretty good play

2550
01:55:17,440 --> 01:55:20,080
Speaker 1: but the defense a defender stepped in and they had it,

2551
01:55:20,160 --> 01:55:22,040
Speaker 1: defended it and it went well. Can I say, and

2552
01:55:22,040 --> 01:55:23,440
Speaker 1: I want you to finish that. But I saw it

2553
01:55:23,560 --> 01:55:25,240
Speaker 1: yesterday right over there in the field when they're in

2554
01:55:25,320 --> 01:55:27,960
Speaker 1: red zone and I can't remember the quarterback, I might

2555
01:55:28,000 --> 01:55:29,880
Speaker 1: have been Josh who made the right read, went right

2556
01:55:29,920 --> 01:55:33,440
Speaker 1: to Calvin Benjamin in the corner inside the pylon. Great throw,

2557
01:55:34,120 --> 01:55:37,560
Speaker 1: Benjamin a perfect position to catch it. Everything's good on

2558
01:55:37,680 --> 01:55:39,800
Speaker 1: offense and here comes for Davious White did not get away.

2559
01:55:39,840 --> 01:55:41,120
Speaker 1: And that's I think. I turned to you and say,

2560
01:55:41,120 --> 01:55:43,440
Speaker 1: that guy spectacic, Yeah, and that's what you're talking about.

2561
01:55:43,480 --> 01:55:45,600
Speaker 1: That's what we're talking about. Because today also we saw

2562
01:55:46,840 --> 01:55:51,080
Speaker 1: about a handful of times somebody running, somebody dropped coverage.

2563
01:55:51,120 --> 01:55:53,280
Speaker 1: You got a guy standing by himself in the middle

2564
01:55:53,320 --> 01:55:56,240
Speaker 1: of the field alone, and it happened maybe four times

2565
01:55:56,480 --> 01:56:00,880
Speaker 1: during different periods during the day. And then offensively, you know,

2566
01:56:01,840 --> 01:56:04,400
Speaker 1: you see even if you know Josh Allen whichever, or

2567
01:56:04,640 --> 01:56:08,080
Speaker 1: Nate Peterman or McCarry, they complete a pass, everybody's like, yeah, class,

2568
01:56:08,520 --> 01:56:11,160
Speaker 1: but really they gave up a sack. You know, it

2569
01:56:11,320 --> 01:56:13,320
Speaker 1: was a sack there, and they gave up like four

2570
01:56:13,400 --> 01:56:15,560
Speaker 1: sacks in a row, you know, where they couldn't get

2571
01:56:15,680 --> 01:56:18,920
Speaker 1: the offensive line, couldn't get the protection right, and so

2572
01:56:19,560 --> 01:56:22,440
Speaker 1: we're you're not even gonna get the playoff in a game.

2573
01:56:23,000 --> 01:56:26,040
Speaker 1: And but then again the offense, you know, they turned

2574
01:56:26,040 --> 01:56:28,200
Speaker 1: around and they got Lashawn McCoy running through a hole

2575
01:56:28,280 --> 01:56:31,240
Speaker 1: the size of the size of this roof we're sitting under, right.

2576
01:56:31,280 --> 01:56:32,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's you know, so you see a lot

2577
01:56:33,040 --> 01:56:34,760
Speaker 1: of that stuff going on at camp, and it's because

2578
01:56:34,840 --> 01:56:37,880
Speaker 1: there's eleven different guys on the offense this play, and

2579
01:56:37,920 --> 01:56:39,760
Speaker 1: there was there was eight of them were different the

2580
01:56:39,840 --> 01:56:42,520
Speaker 1: last play, and there's all this stuff going on, all

2581
01:56:42,560 --> 01:56:44,920
Speaker 1: these moving parts going on. It's really complicated to watch.

2582
01:56:45,000 --> 01:56:47,040
Speaker 1: But for the first time, I think, and the reason

2583
01:56:47,080 --> 01:56:51,640
Speaker 1: we're talking about this is everything's progressing, Yeah, better now

2584
01:56:51,680 --> 01:56:54,120
Speaker 1: than it was five days. The floor is raising, the

2585
01:56:54,560 --> 01:56:57,600
Speaker 1: ceiling is raising. The level of play everywhere on the

2586
01:56:57,680 --> 01:57:00,080
Speaker 1: field and both sides of the football is raising. And

2587
01:57:00,160 --> 01:57:03,560
Speaker 1: I told this to Chris Brown and Facebook Live this morning.

2588
01:57:03,920 --> 01:57:05,720
Speaker 1: You want to look who's who's shown up, and it's

2589
01:57:05,840 --> 01:57:09,120
Speaker 1: it's fun to see Kelvin Benjamin's showing up, Turdavious White

2590
01:57:09,160 --> 01:57:12,440
Speaker 1: showing up, Lashawn McCoy's showing up. You know, Tremaine Edmonds

2591
01:57:12,480 --> 01:57:16,760
Speaker 1: is showing up. Uh, the star players are showing up

2592
01:57:17,200 --> 01:57:19,760
Speaker 1: and and it's and it's comforting to see both safeties

2593
01:57:19,760 --> 01:57:22,400
Speaker 1: are showing up. The secondary looks great. I mean, it's

2594
01:57:22,640 --> 01:57:25,080
Speaker 1: so the great players are showing up. The level is

2595
01:57:25,160 --> 01:57:27,560
Speaker 1: raising all over training camp. And while you still see it,

2596
01:57:28,040 --> 01:57:30,640
Speaker 1: you know, aberration here and there, this is this is

2597
01:57:30,720 --> 01:57:33,640
Speaker 1: team's taking shape. The NFL referees were in today. I

2598
01:57:33,640 --> 01:57:36,560
Speaker 1: believe they're gonna be a tomorrow morning's practice here as well. Um,

2599
01:57:37,360 --> 01:57:39,240
Speaker 1: I mean they throw a flag every other play, so

2600
01:57:40,040 --> 01:57:42,680
Speaker 1: to say they don't have an impact would be wrong. Um,

2601
01:57:43,240 --> 01:57:47,760
Speaker 1: I think they're often ignored in these situations. You know

2602
01:57:47,800 --> 01:57:50,160
Speaker 1: what I see. You see Sean McDermott talking to him

2603
01:57:50,160 --> 01:57:51,920
Speaker 1: as well, So you're thinking he's saying throw a flag

2604
01:57:52,000 --> 01:57:55,760
Speaker 1: on that. You know, he's telling them teach him something. Yeah,

2605
01:57:55,800 --> 01:57:58,560
Speaker 1: you know, and so it's a disciplinary act and it

2606
01:57:58,680 --> 01:58:01,040
Speaker 1: gave and Sean mcdermots. You knew this was going to

2607
01:58:01,040 --> 01:58:02,240
Speaker 1: be one of those practice when he said in his

2608
01:58:02,320 --> 01:58:05,600
Speaker 1: pregame pre practice pressor, I'm going to challenge him today.

2609
01:58:05,680 --> 01:58:07,680
Speaker 1: And they were out there for a long time and

2610
01:58:07,760 --> 01:58:10,120
Speaker 1: there was a handful of instances when Sean McDermott stepped

2611
01:58:10,200 --> 01:58:13,680
Speaker 1: up from behind the play and gave it to somebody verbally,

2612
01:58:14,280 --> 01:58:16,520
Speaker 1: and you know he doesn't do that all the time.

2613
01:58:16,880 --> 01:58:18,760
Speaker 1: So this was a practice. This was the harder training

2614
01:58:18,840 --> 01:58:21,640
Speaker 1: camp today and I think the team equitted itself pretty well.

2615
01:58:21,760 --> 01:58:24,400
Speaker 1: It was a longer practice and more and more challenging.

2616
01:58:24,480 --> 01:58:26,880
Speaker 1: You're right. Do we have an official on the show tomorrow?

2617
01:58:27,120 --> 01:58:30,000
Speaker 1: Our producer Jay Harris. Sean Smith, the official who's in

2618
01:58:30,120 --> 01:58:31,880
Speaker 1: charge of the crew here, has been booked on the

2619
01:58:31,920 --> 01:58:35,240
Speaker 1: show as we speak. Producer Jay Harris doing what he does,

2620
01:58:35,360 --> 01:58:37,600
Speaker 1: He's he's his first he's in his first Sean Smith

2621
01:58:37,720 --> 01:58:39,440
Speaker 1: is in his first year as a white hat, so

2622
01:58:39,560 --> 01:58:42,000
Speaker 1: he'll be one of the guys that announces penalties during

2623
01:58:42,040 --> 01:58:45,440
Speaker 1: games in the NFL this year. Yeah. Yeah, he got

2624
01:58:45,480 --> 01:58:48,880
Speaker 1: promoted because Ed Hark Hockey Lee and we got questions

2625
01:58:48,920 --> 01:58:50,720
Speaker 1: for officials. I mean, I want to talk about what

2626
01:58:50,880 --> 01:58:54,400
Speaker 1: constitutes to catch, the helmet rule, the kickoff rule. You

2627
01:58:54,440 --> 01:58:56,839
Speaker 1: were talking to him today, some of the officials about kickoffs.

2628
01:58:56,880 --> 01:58:58,560
Speaker 1: Right now, they line up and it's gonna be interesting.

2629
01:58:58,600 --> 01:59:01,320
Speaker 1: If the ball lands in the ends zone, it's dead,

2630
01:59:01,600 --> 01:59:04,200
Speaker 1: They're gonna blow it dead. It's not alive anymore, which

2631
01:59:04,560 --> 01:59:08,080
Speaker 1: is something. And it's gonna be some changes, you know,

2632
01:59:08,240 --> 01:59:10,240
Speaker 1: seeing back to that play from Gillisly a couple of

2633
01:59:10,320 --> 01:59:13,640
Speaker 1: years ago into bills. Right, you do in the Jets

2674
02:01:08,600 --> 02:01:11,320

Speaker 1: year than you watch the Bills, ten times more practice,

2676
02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:17,160
Speaker 1: and you were resistant to that, but you get now.

2677
02:01:17,600 --> 02:01:19,200
Speaker 1: You know what I'm gonna tell you a little thing.

2689
02:01:51,640 --> 02:01:55,560

2690
02:01:57,080 --> 02:02:00,640
Speaker 1: ye won't be that drivel you usually say. It means something.

2691
02:02:01,160 --> 02:02:03,520
Speaker 1: You're right though, it is. It's it's a little bit

2692

2695
02:02:12,320 --> 02:02:15,680
Speaker 1: like watching practice and I don't love it, but it's valuable.

2696
02:02:15,800 --> 02:02:19,000
Speaker 1: This has been a lot more enjoyable for me this

2697
02:02:19,120 --> 02:02:21,440
Speaker 1: year than it's ever been. I don't I'd come over

2698

Speaker 1: to training camp one time, I'd make a whole day

2699
02:02:23,560 --> 02:02:24,840
Speaker 1: of it. I'd watch all of it that was just

2700
02:02:24,920 --> 02:02:27,240
Speaker 1: for shows, and that was just to say that, yeah,

2701
02:02:27,280 --> 02:02:30,480
Speaker 1: I didn't training camp right exactly, And but this has

2702
02:02:30,520 --> 02:02:32,440
Speaker 1: been a lot better. I have enjoyed it, and I

2703
02:02:32,560 --> 02:02:35,000
Speaker 1: probably will make me better. I'm certainly gonna make me

2704
02:02:35,080 --> 02:02:37,320
Speaker 1: better than the absolutely And the game kicks off on Friday.

2705
02:02:37,360 --> 02:02:39,640
Speaker 1: Absolutely and there and there's another thing. And I'm not

2706
02:02:39,840 --> 02:02:42,880
Speaker 1: lecturing here. I have to remind myself of this. There's

2707
02:02:42,880 --> 02:02:44,880
Speaker 1: a way to watch practice. You get there. Look, there's

2708
02:02:44,880 --> 02:02:47,680
Speaker 1: a million distractions. It was what was a Superhero and

2709
02:02:47,800 --> 02:02:51,680
Speaker 1: Princess Day today, Christmas in July, the other day Sunday. Um,

2710
02:02:52,040 --> 02:02:54,520
Speaker 1: those are just the planned distractions. There's people all over

2711
02:02:54,600 --> 02:02:57,640
Speaker 1: the place. There's Savers GM was out there today, the

2712
02:02:57,720 --> 02:03:00,400
Speaker 1: guys from Ilio Depolo's restaurant and Blaizell War there today

2713
02:03:00,440 --> 02:03:03,400
Speaker 1: watching practice. If you want, you could spend the entire

2714
02:03:03,480 --> 02:03:06,760
Speaker 1: two hour practice period and just shake hands, shake hands,

2715
02:03:06,880 --> 02:03:09,720
Speaker 1: talk to your friends, have fun. But you don't get

2716
02:03:09,720 --> 02:03:11,760
Speaker 1: anything out of that other than it's interesting too, because

2717
02:03:11,760 --> 02:03:14,400
Speaker 1: I always look for you always sometimes well we'll get

2718
02:03:14,440 --> 02:03:16,080
Speaker 1: caught up and we'll get split them and always come

2719
02:03:16,160 --> 02:03:18,360
Speaker 1: come over to because we always it's easier when you

2720
02:03:18,440 --> 02:03:21,560
Speaker 1: and I are watching together. People don't bother us, you know,

2721
02:03:21,760 --> 02:03:23,640
Speaker 1: I don't get distracted. I got somebody to talk to

2722
02:03:23,760 --> 02:03:25,440
Speaker 1: and we're there for the same reason. We can watch

2723
02:03:25,520 --> 02:03:27,960
Speaker 1: practice and talk about who we see and what we see,

2724
02:03:28,000 --> 02:03:31,160
Speaker 1: and that's we should. We should, you know, do our

2725
02:03:31,160 --> 02:03:34,040
Speaker 1: show sidelines and practice if it's a radio show. Last

2726
02:03:34,080 --> 02:03:36,960
Speaker 1: Friday we did something similar. Great, Yeah, all right, NFL

2727
02:03:37,040 --> 02:03:38,839
Speaker 1: True or false? We just brought to you by Yancey's,

2728
02:03:38,880 --> 02:03:41,720
Speaker 1: Fancy New York's artists and cheese. This is probably the

2729
02:03:41,840 --> 02:03:44,960
Speaker 1: easiest true and false we've ever had. The Dolphins are

2730
02:03:45,000 --> 02:03:50,400
Speaker 1: the NFL's most underrated team. That's the headline in the Finnsider,

2731
02:03:50,480 --> 02:03:54,400
Speaker 1: which is a sp Nation fan site. The Dolphins are

2732
02:03:54,440 --> 02:03:57,760
Speaker 1: the NFL's most underrated team. You want it. This is

2733
02:03:57,800 --> 02:04:00,120
Speaker 1: a This is a meatball coming right down in the

2734
02:04:00,160 --> 02:04:02,840
Speaker 1: middle of the plate for you. I'm gonna say false, yeah,

2735
02:04:02,920 --> 02:04:06,480
Speaker 1: a little bit. How does anybody say that it's false?

2736
02:04:06,720 --> 02:04:09,520
Speaker 1: They are? They are. They have low expectations this year,

2737
02:04:09,560 --> 02:04:11,600
Speaker 1: absolutely no question about it. It's gonna be interesting to

2738
02:04:11,640 --> 02:04:13,920
Speaker 1: see how Ryan Tannehill as a quarterback comes back after

2739
02:04:14,280 --> 02:04:17,800
Speaker 1: a catastrophic knee injury and loses his best offensive weapon

2740
02:04:18,120 --> 02:04:21,760
Speaker 1: to free agency, and how he's gonna get better, not

2741
02:04:21,880 --> 02:04:25,520
Speaker 1: alone the fact that they know that they lost in

2742
02:04:25,600 --> 02:04:28,200
Speaker 1: Dominican sue on their defensive line as well. This guy right,

2743
02:04:28,280 --> 02:04:31,280
Speaker 1: and God bless him, he's making his living here. I

2744
02:04:31,320 --> 02:04:33,600
Speaker 1: don't even know his name. The Dolphin. He cites the

2745
02:04:33,680 --> 02:04:38,000
Speaker 1: fact that the return of Ryan Tannehill is why they're underrated.

2746
02:04:38,360 --> 02:04:41,600
Speaker 1: That Tannehill is good. He says that Danny Amndola, the

2747
02:04:41,680 --> 02:04:45,640
Speaker 1: receivers they signed to replace Jarvis Landry, Danny A. Mendola

2748
02:04:46,080 --> 02:04:48,680
Speaker 1: and others are going to be an upgrade. I disagree

2749
02:04:48,720 --> 02:04:52,000
Speaker 1: with that the Dolphins replace center Mike Pouncey by acquiring

2750
02:04:52,080 --> 02:04:56,280
Speaker 1: Daniel Kilgore. Okay, I know they're not underrated. I don't

2751
02:04:56,320 --> 02:04:58,720
Speaker 1: think they're good. Steve, the Dolphins and the Jets, I

2752
02:04:58,800 --> 02:05:02,400
Speaker 1: think are gonna jockey for a position for dead last

2753
02:05:02,440 --> 02:05:04,920
Speaker 1: place in the AFC East. I really believe that. Yeah,

2754
02:05:05,280 --> 02:05:09,600
Speaker 1: Mike pounce he's gone All Pro center, Jarvis Landry's gone

2755
02:05:09,680 --> 02:05:14,840
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl wide receiver. But his assertion is that Ryan

2756
02:05:14,920 --> 02:05:16,800
Speaker 1: Tannehill's return is going to make all the difference in

2757
02:05:16,840 --> 02:05:19,840
Speaker 1: the world. And I don't think so. I mean, there's

2758
02:05:19,880 --> 02:05:21,920
Speaker 1: no question their offense will be better with him at

2759
02:05:22,000 --> 02:05:25,720
Speaker 1: least doing it. But he's gonna have you know, Amendola

2760
02:05:25,920 --> 02:05:30,640
Speaker 1: is not a physical mismatch like Jarvis Landry was, and

2761
02:05:32,120 --> 02:05:34,120
Speaker 1: I I just can't see it, So I'm gonna say

2762
02:05:34,280 --> 02:05:37,360
Speaker 1: that's false. They are not the most underrated NFL. True

2763
02:05:37,400 --> 02:05:39,520
Speaker 1: or false, This one's about the Jets, not the Dolphins.

2764
02:05:39,800 --> 02:05:42,560
Speaker 1: Rich Samini covers the Jets for ESPN in New York.

2765
02:05:42,880 --> 02:05:45,640
Speaker 1: He says quarterback Teddy Bridgewater will be traded by the

2766
02:05:45,840 --> 02:05:49,240
Speaker 1: end of preseason. Rich Semini says the Jets are comfortable

2767
02:05:49,280 --> 02:05:51,200
Speaker 1: with rookie Sam Darnold just signed the other day and

2768
02:05:51,320 --> 02:05:54,080
Speaker 1: Josh McCollen. He claims they will flip Bridgewater for a

2769
02:05:54,200 --> 02:05:56,800
Speaker 1: draft pick, sign him for one year, with the idea

2770
02:05:56,840 --> 02:05:59,600
Speaker 1: they could trade him under the right circumstances. If his

2771
02:06:00,000 --> 02:06:03,920
Speaker 1: bally repaired knee holds up in the preseason. Bridgewater will

2772
02:06:04,000 --> 02:06:07,640
Speaker 1: intrigue quarterback needy teams. That's what rich Samini writes. Bridgewater

2773
02:06:07,720 --> 02:06:09,720
Speaker 1: traded by the end of the preseason. True or false?

2774
02:06:11,120 --> 02:06:13,840
Speaker 1: That might be true, Steve, that might happen, right if

2775
02:06:13,880 --> 02:06:16,680
Speaker 1: you got Josh McCowen and you got Sam Donald, and

2776
02:06:16,760 --> 02:06:19,040
Speaker 1: you're going with mccowenn to start the year and hoping

2777
02:06:19,080 --> 02:06:22,080
Speaker 1: that you get to play Sam Donald, what's the role,

2778
02:06:22,200 --> 02:06:25,080
Speaker 1: what's the gig for Teddy Bridgewater other than making you better,

2779
02:06:25,160 --> 02:06:27,760
Speaker 1: maybe somewhere else. Teddy Bridgewater is better than Josh McCown.

2780
02:06:28,520 --> 02:06:30,840
Speaker 1: If he's healthy through the preseason. Why would you keep

2781
02:06:30,920 --> 02:06:33,920
Speaker 1: Josh McCown Because he's a tested quantity. You know what

2782
02:06:34,000 --> 02:06:37,040
Speaker 1: you're getting Teddy Bridgewater, you keep the In fact, why

2783
02:06:37,160 --> 02:06:39,120
Speaker 1: is Teddy Bridgewater not the guy you're gonna start if

2784
02:06:39,120 --> 02:06:40,800
Speaker 1: he gives you a better chance to win? Teddy Bridgewater

2785
02:06:40,920 --> 02:06:43,040
Speaker 1: is better than Josh McCown. Are you saying true or false?

2786
02:06:43,160 --> 02:06:46,839
Speaker 1: I'm saying I'm saying it would be such a Jetsy

2787
02:06:46,960 --> 02:06:49,160
Speaker 1: thing to do to trade the better of the two

2788
02:06:49,240 --> 02:06:51,880
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that are backing up your rookie quarterback that may

2789
02:06:51,920 --> 02:06:54,160
Speaker 1: not make it through the season by getting rid of

2790
02:06:54,200 --> 02:06:56,160
Speaker 1: the guy who can win games for you. That would

2791
02:06:56,160 --> 02:06:58,600
Speaker 1: be such a Jet thing to do. But it's so

2792
02:06:58,840 --> 02:07:00,440
Speaker 1: I'm saying it's crazy for him to do that. So

2793
02:07:00,520 --> 02:07:03,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying it's gonna be false. But they are the Jets,

2794
02:07:04,200 --> 02:07:06,840
Speaker 1: and they've been looking for a quarterback for so long

2795
02:07:07,200 --> 02:07:10,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna trade away one of the better quarterbacks on

2796
02:07:10,280 --> 02:07:13,760
Speaker 1: their roster and keep a guy who's been playing. Josh

2797
02:07:13,840 --> 02:07:15,880
Speaker 1: Mconney's a great guy. No question about it. He's and

2798
02:07:15,920 --> 02:07:18,480
Speaker 1: he may. They they're gonna use this card that he's

2799
02:07:18,520 --> 02:07:23,040
Speaker 1: gonna mentor Sam Darnald. Don't listen. Keep the guy that

2800
02:07:23,160 --> 02:07:25,400
Speaker 1: gives you the best chance to win when he's under center.

2801
02:07:26,040 --> 02:07:28,120
Speaker 1: Everything else will take you. Leave your coaching staff to

2802
02:07:28,200 --> 02:07:30,720
Speaker 1: mentor your quarterback. You're crazy if you get rid of

2803
02:07:30,760 --> 02:07:32,800
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater if he's your best option to win. I

2804
02:07:32,840 --> 02:07:34,720
Speaker 1: would love it if it happened, And I would too.

2805
02:07:34,840 --> 02:07:37,400
Speaker 1: And I think Teddy Bridgewater is a better quarterback than

2806
02:07:37,480 --> 02:07:39,160
Speaker 1: Josh McCown. Maybe that's why I would love it if

2807
02:07:39,160 --> 02:07:41,600
Speaker 1: it happened. It's such a jet Is that not a

2808
02:07:41,720 --> 02:07:44,120
Speaker 1: jet thing to do? A Jetsy thing to do? Trade

2809
02:07:44,160 --> 02:07:46,200
Speaker 1: away a guy who can win games for you? Yeah,

2810
02:07:46,280 --> 02:07:49,880
Speaker 1: but the future is Darneld. They know that. So the end,

2811
02:07:50,360 --> 02:07:52,560
Speaker 1: why do you need Teddy Bridgewater if you know that

2812
02:07:53,000 --> 02:07:56,320
Speaker 1: next year you're gonna play Sam Darnold? Because Sam Sam

2813
02:07:56,440 --> 02:07:58,960
Speaker 1: Darneld may get a Liz Frank Sprain in practice, he

2814
02:07:59,080 --> 02:08:01,880
Speaker 1: may break his pinky getting out of the shower. Who knows,

2815
02:08:02,240 --> 02:08:04,440
Speaker 1: but you if you got to keep the best player,

2816
02:08:05,640 --> 02:08:07,520
Speaker 1: got time for one more NFL true or false? So

2817
02:08:07,600 --> 02:08:11,000
Speaker 1: I can see you're warming to this too. Um triplets

2818
02:08:11,160 --> 02:08:14,400
Speaker 1: right quarterback, receiver, running back. Do the Saints have the

2819
02:08:14,440 --> 02:08:17,600
Speaker 1: best group of triplets in the NFL? Drew Brees, Alvin Kamara,

2820
02:08:17,720 --> 02:08:21,640
Speaker 1: running back, Michael Thomas, at um at wide receiver Um

2821
02:08:22,200 --> 02:08:24,920
Speaker 1: Thomas Probably, As they pointed us nfl dot Com article

2822
02:08:24,920 --> 02:08:28,720
Speaker 1: they ranked all the triplet packages in the NFL. They say,

2823
02:08:29,560 --> 02:08:32,080
Speaker 1: they say the Saints might be the best triplets. I

2824
02:08:32,160 --> 02:08:35,280
Speaker 1: say that's false. I say the Steelers are the best

2825
02:08:35,480 --> 02:08:39,880
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger Leon. It's exactly where mind mind went to Levion

2826
02:08:40,000 --> 02:08:45,520
Speaker 1: Bell and uh Antonio Brown, you know, or that's hard

2827
02:08:45,560 --> 02:08:48,280
Speaker 1: to beat them, man, you know they've and that's you know,

2828
02:08:49,720 --> 02:08:52,560
Speaker 1: And actually in the article they put the Steelers ahead

2829
02:08:52,680 --> 02:08:54,720
Speaker 1: of the Saints, but they're trying to make an argument

2830
02:08:54,800 --> 02:08:57,800
Speaker 1: for the Saints. Then you look Drew Brees, Tom Brady, um,

2831
02:08:58,480 --> 02:09:00,960
Speaker 1: you know, then you got why would Sonny Michael be

2832
02:09:02,640 --> 02:09:04,320
Speaker 1: you know, they got They've still got the Patriots at

2833
02:09:04,320 --> 02:09:06,240
Speaker 1: the top of that list. The Atlanta Falcons are a

2834
02:09:06,280 --> 02:09:08,520
Speaker 1: good one with DeVonta Freeman and Julio Jones along with

2835
02:09:08,560 --> 02:09:13,080
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. So I certainly the New Orleans Saints have

2836
02:09:13,280 --> 02:09:15,600
Speaker 1: reason to like the three guys they've got but I

2837
02:09:15,640 --> 02:09:17,760
Speaker 1: would put the Pittsburgh Stealers at the top of that list.

2838
02:09:17,920 --> 02:09:19,480
Speaker 1: You'll want to know, folks who want to know that

2839
02:09:19,640 --> 02:09:22,440
Speaker 1: the Bills. This is an article written by NFL dot

2840
02:09:22,440 --> 02:09:25,640
Speaker 1: Com analyst Dave Damaschick. He's got the Bills six from

2841
02:09:25,640 --> 02:09:28,040
Speaker 1: the bottom, the twenty seventh best group of triplets. He's

2842
02:09:28,080 --> 02:09:31,880
Speaker 1: got Josh Allen, Lashawan, McCoy, Calvin, Benjamin. Here's what he writes.

2843
02:09:32,840 --> 02:09:34,880
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna like to hear this. Is it gonna be

2844
02:09:34,960 --> 02:09:37,760
Speaker 1: allan over mccaren and Nate Peterman. More importantly, doesn't matter

2845
02:09:38,200 --> 02:09:39,720
Speaker 1: when the line in front of any or all of

2846
02:09:39,760 --> 02:09:41,920
Speaker 1: them is as bad as it appears to be. No,

2847
02:09:42,080 --> 02:09:44,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. McCoy remains one of the very best.

2848
02:09:44,440 --> 02:09:46,400
Speaker 1: But again it's mood given an overall lack of talent

2849
02:09:46,480 --> 02:09:49,800
Speaker 1: in the locker room. I hear that. I've heard that

2850
02:09:49,880 --> 02:09:52,160
Speaker 1: from more than Dave damashek. I don't agree with that.

2851
02:09:52,400 --> 02:09:55,760
Speaker 1: And I think anyone who takes an outside look at

2852
02:09:55,760 --> 02:09:57,360
Speaker 1: the Bills and say, well, that offensive line is going

2853
02:09:57,400 --> 02:10:00,560
Speaker 1: to be terrible because they lost because ry Glenn was

2854
02:10:00,600 --> 02:10:04,000
Speaker 1: traded away, and Richie and Cagnito's gone, and Eric Wood

2855
02:10:04,240 --> 02:10:06,960
Speaker 1: look probably not an upgrade on the offensive line. But

2856
02:10:06,960 --> 02:10:08,800
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna be terrible, and he writes,

2857
02:10:08,840 --> 02:10:10,480
Speaker 1: as bad as the offensive line is going to be,

2858
02:10:11,080 --> 02:10:12,680
Speaker 1: I'm not there. I don't think that's the case. I

2859
02:10:12,720 --> 02:10:15,920
Speaker 1: don't think so either. I'm yeah, I just don't think

2860
02:10:15,960 --> 02:10:18,400
Speaker 1: so either. I don't think so either. But you know,

2861
02:10:18,520 --> 02:10:20,680
Speaker 1: we can say all we want. We gotta wait and see. Well,

2862
02:10:20,800 --> 02:10:22,520
Speaker 1: we find out a week from Friday they're gonna tee

2863
02:10:22,560 --> 02:10:24,400
Speaker 1: it up for the first time against the Carolina Panthers,

2864
02:10:24,400 --> 02:10:26,280
Speaker 1: and we'll get a look at it. It'd be fun

2865
02:10:26,520 --> 02:10:29,160
Speaker 1: NFL True and False brought to you by Yancey's Fancy

2872
02:10:56,600 --> 02:10:58,440
Speaker 1: at Home Theater Provider or the Buffalo Bills. We had

2873
02:10:58,520 --> 02:11:01,480
Speaker 1: Calvin Benjamin on the show today, veteran wide receiver who

2874
02:11:01,600 --> 02:11:03,720
Speaker 1: had a great deal to say about the camaraderie of

2875
02:11:03,760 --> 02:11:08,000
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bill's wide receiver group right now. You know,

2876
02:11:08,200 --> 02:11:10,280
Speaker 1: is that is that camaraderie right now? So I mean

2877
02:11:10,320 --> 02:11:11,680
Speaker 1: we want, we want to get in the room and

2878
02:11:11,720 --> 02:11:13,760
Speaker 1: watch film. Man. You know, I tell the guys, man,

2879
02:11:14,080 --> 02:11:15,400
Speaker 1: even if I got to clear out for you guys,

2880
02:11:15,400 --> 02:11:17,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna, I'm gonna clear out that to open up

2881
02:11:17,160 --> 02:11:18,480
Speaker 1: to you guys. You know what I'm saying. So I

2882
02:11:18,640 --> 02:11:20,680
Speaker 1: expect the same for me, you know. And um, I

2883
02:11:20,720 --> 02:11:22,960
Speaker 1: mean we brought ourselves on brotherhood. Man. We pray out

2884
02:11:22,960 --> 02:11:25,000
Speaker 1: to every practice. I feel like Coach Terry bringing us

2885
02:11:25,000 --> 02:11:26,800
Speaker 1: together as a brotherhood, you know. And that's what you

2886
02:11:26,880 --> 02:11:28,680
Speaker 1: need in a receiving room because it can't be a

2887
02:11:28,760 --> 02:11:32,000
Speaker 1: receiver room that's you know, selfish. You know, you got

2888
02:11:32,080 --> 02:11:33,600
Speaker 1: to work to get that, get the other player over

2889
02:11:33,720 --> 02:11:37,960
Speaker 1: the time. Coach Terry, Coach Terry Robiski he's referring to.

2890
02:11:38,400 --> 02:11:40,440
Speaker 1: Also today on the show, we had another receiver of

2891
02:11:40,480 --> 02:11:43,680
Speaker 1: the rookie seventh roundraftfiic Austin Pral from North Carolina that

2892
02:11:43,800 --> 02:11:45,760
Speaker 1: talked about the opportunity he has to try to win

2893
02:11:45,840 --> 02:11:49,480
Speaker 1: a job here with the Buffalo Bill. And I think

2894
02:11:49,520 --> 02:11:50,840
Speaker 1: each and every day. You know, you just try to

2895
02:11:50,840 --> 02:11:53,040
Speaker 1: attack it with you know, knowing that there's an opportunity,

2896
02:11:53,080 --> 02:11:56,000
Speaker 1: there's one nose open, and each and every rep, you know,

2897
02:11:56,040 --> 02:11:57,800
Speaker 1: you gotta take the most. You know, you gotta take

2898
02:11:57,840 --> 02:12:00,360
Speaker 1: advantage of it. And you know, for me, that's how

2899
02:12:00,520 --> 02:12:02,480
Speaker 1: my whole career has been, you know, playing football. You know,

2900
02:12:02,560 --> 02:12:05,880
Speaker 1: I've always kind of been overlooked, you know, been undervalued,

2901
02:12:06,080 --> 02:12:08,360
Speaker 1: you know, even coming at a high school and getting

2902
02:12:08,360 --> 02:12:11,160
Speaker 1: a scholarship to Carolina, you know, and I've always had

2903
02:12:11,200 --> 02:12:13,120
Speaker 1: to kind of get over that hump and just continue

2904
02:12:13,160 --> 02:12:14,880
Speaker 1: to work each and every day, continue to come out

2905
02:12:14,920 --> 02:12:16,920
Speaker 1: with the mindset that I got to prove people wrong

2906
02:12:17,600 --> 02:12:19,360
Speaker 1: and then you know, prove the people who believe in

2907
02:12:19,440 --> 02:12:22,520
Speaker 1: me right. And that's big for me. Just continue to work,

2908
02:12:22,680 --> 02:12:24,400
Speaker 1: you know, the playbook in and out, get on the

2909
02:12:24,440 --> 02:12:26,200
Speaker 1: same page with these quarterbacks, and make the most out

2910
02:12:26,240 --> 02:12:30,080
Speaker 1: of every opportunity. Good to year from Ustin prol Today

2911
02:12:30,120 --> 02:12:32,160
Speaker 1: on the show as well, we talked about receivers virtually

2912
02:12:32,200 --> 02:12:35,080
Speaker 1: all day long in our Twitter poll after Calvin Benjamin,

2913
02:12:35,200 --> 02:12:38,360
Speaker 1: which Bill's receiver not tight end, not running back, Which

2914
02:12:38,440 --> 02:12:40,920
Speaker 1: Bill's receiver will have the most receptions at the end

2915
02:12:40,960 --> 02:12:43,640
Speaker 1: of the year on Twitter, we had a good response

2916
02:12:43,680 --> 02:12:46,720
Speaker 1: about twenty one twenty nine hundred responses and it was close.

2917
02:12:47,080 --> 02:12:50,040
Speaker 1: Thirty seven percent of you said Jeremy Curtley, thirty three

2918
02:12:50,080 --> 02:12:52,800
Speaker 1: percent of you say Zay Jones, twenty percent said another

2919
02:12:52,840 --> 02:12:54,640
Speaker 1: wide receiver on the rotter that's where I would go,

2920
02:12:55,000 --> 02:12:57,680
Speaker 1: ten percent said somebody else. There are big question marks

2921
02:12:57,680 --> 02:12:59,960
Speaker 1: about receiver right now. Absolutely, That's why we brought it up.

2922
02:13:00,000 --> 02:13:02,440
Speaker 1: And it's and it's interesting to me, like always on

2923
02:13:02,520 --> 02:13:04,600
Speaker 1: these Twitter things, to see how what the wide ranging

2924
02:13:04,640 --> 02:13:08,320
Speaker 1: opinions are. And it's not gonna it's not gonna end

2925
02:13:08,400 --> 02:13:10,440
Speaker 1: until the season starts and they have that the roster

2926
02:13:10,640 --> 02:13:12,920
Speaker 1: narrowed down. But right now a lot of them are
