14
00:00:53,800 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: We'll open it up to your questions. Uh. You know, well,

15
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: I think there's uh, it's got a strong leg um.

16
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: You know, obviously you know where he came from New

17
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: England at a at a interesting preseason um. But we

18
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: look forward to getting him out of the field and

19
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: and getting him to work today and building that relationship

20
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: that's so important to him with with Hollis and Reid

21
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: and and uh. You know, I credit to our our

22
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: scouting staff doing their work and and um and uh

23
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: and finding Corey. What was interesting preseason just not a

24
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 1: whole lot of work, you know, So not a whole

25
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: lot of work. Again, I think, you know, I give

26
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: credit to our scouting staff and doing their due diligence

27
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: to to be able to locate and target a guy

28
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: that didn't do a lot on film in the preseason. Um. Um,

29
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: but uh, but we were we were aware of what

30
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: he could do and coming out of college and whatnot

31
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: you couldn't tell us about. Ultimately, Yeah, I mean, you know, Nate,

32
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: Nate has earned the right. Um. I thought his total

33
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: body of work all the way back from from the

34
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: spring through the summer and fall camp to this point. Um,

35
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: you know, he has certainly earned the right competition at

36
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: the end of the days. Well, it's always a tough decision. Um.

37
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: And that's a good thing because because those guys were

38
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: competing at a high level. Um and so um and

39
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: I would say, there's we've had a lot of tough decisions,

40
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: which which is a good thing for our roster. Um. Again,

41
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: credit our scouting staff. Brandon and his staff for um

42
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: making Um, you know, certainly our roster better than it

43
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: than it has been in terms of, UM, the competition level.

44
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: I thought through camp and you guys were out there,

45
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: Um there was high levels of competition at a lot

46
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: of positions and we were We've talked about this a lot.

47
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: A lot of has made about Nathan's resiliencys is how

48
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: he's bounced back from the versity be that Tennessee. And

49
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: now here's his chance again to go from what happened

50
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: last year as a lookie to be the old thing

51
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: based starter. What what does that say about him? Well,

52
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: just what you said, John, I think you know, I

53
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: believe he's a resilient young man. Um. You know he's certainly, um,

54
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: come through some times of adversity through throughout his career.

55
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: UM and uh and so um, look he's still a

56
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: young player. And uh and so you know I've been

57
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: impressed with his with his mental toughness, his his command

58
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: of the offense. UM, the way he's generated yards and

59
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: then and then points in the preseason as well, and

60
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: the way he's developed at this point. UM, let's keep

61
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: him mind he as a young player and uh and

62
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: and you know, but just overall, you go back to

63
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: your question of you watched him at Tennessee, you watch

64
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: him at pitt UM, So I'm right now he's a

65
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: buffalo bill in terms of UM, his journey like all

66
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: of us. And and that's that character trait is a

67
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: great trait to have in terms of being a resilient

68
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,839
Speaker 1: young man. Experience and Josh, yeah, going into this year,

69
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: he's a concerned aid. Two kids who really have to

70
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: play what we I'll start with aj Um. You know,

71
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: aj Um, I really appreciate the effort he gave us

72
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: all the way up to the last the last you know,

73
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: second of that fourth preseason game. You don't find that often. UM,

74
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: And certainly appreciate that. Great, great young man, great family.

75
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: And I know he's going to do well in Oakland. UM.

76
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: With respect to our situation with the young quarterbacks, UM,

77
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: you know, there's no there's no substitute for experience. H.

78
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: That said, we've got two young quarterbacks that that we

79
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: believe in and UM, and they're they're going to continue

80
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: to grow and there's gonna be there's going to be

81
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: learning along the way and some some good moments hopefully,

82
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: and there's gonna be some some growing pains as well,

83
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: and we understand that inside the room, and how you

84
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: explained it to these guys individually or together, and that

85
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: was like, well, I mean, I get where you're coming

86
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: from on that, Tim, And you know, I explained it

87
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,119
Speaker 1: to our to UM, to Nate and then to Josh

88
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: and and then to our football team, and UM, I've

89
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: got a heck of a lot of respect for for

90
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: those guys, and I just felt like that was the

91
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 1: right way to do it, um, in terms of announcing

92
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: it to them before it became public. UM. And that's

93
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: because of the love and respect I had for those guys.

94
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: What was it like to be able to tell me

95
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: one of the job after as alluded to earlier, what

96
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: he went through? I guess and he went through a

97
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: lot of dark times, especially immediately after that game in

98
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. To be able to say you won this job. Uh,

99
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: you know when when you earned things, UM, it makes it.

100
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: It makes it certainly, UM. You know, gratifying as a

101
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: coach to be able to reward a young man that

102
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: has that has earned it. And and to your question,

103
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: he's or to your point, he has you know, he

104
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: went through um, some some adversity and John mentioned it

105
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: not only in last season but also in his college career. Look,

106
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: we've all been through that and um, and to me

107
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: it's a sign of our football team to some extent

108
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: and just in terms of usually if you go through

109
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: some adversity early in life, UM, you're that much more

110
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: prepared for it when it comes around later in life.

111
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: And you know, that's that to me is um you know,

112
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: becomes a personality or a character trade and that's that's

113
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: that's good to have. Nathan obviously has the year manager

114
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: in the system right in the team for a year.

115
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: Did the instability or changing in the O line, the

116
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: why receiver position played into your factoring? Who's mading we're

117
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: ready to take over this team right now? Yeah, I'm

118
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: not going to get into why I made the decision

119
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: that I made. With all due respect to your question,

120
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: I get where you're coming from. Um, you know, really

121
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: really we're just focused right now on the opponent and

122
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: that's Baltimore. At this scation, we're just the two guys

123
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: on the roster a quarterback. Last year, you had drow

124
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: weapon just in case and it turned out who if who?

125
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: This year? If something were to happen. Who do you

126
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: have this year? Who would be the third guy you

127
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: have to go at this point? Well, you look across

128
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: the roster, Logan Thomas has played quarterback, he played it

129
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: in college. Um, and then after that, you know, we've

130
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: probably got a couple a couple of things that you know,

131
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: we would need to work through if we got that far,

132
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: that we would need to work through. But we'll have

133
00:07:54,760 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: another guy ready, Brennan. Brennan's always looking at different options,

134
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: So I don't want to rule anything out this time.

135
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: When it comes to Josh's development, how do you continue

136
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: him on the track of developing while he's the backup

137
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,679
Speaker 1: and will he get enough time to continue growing? Continue

138
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: to well, Josh is on schedule. Let me just start there.

139
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: He's on schedule. I've been very pleased with the way

140
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: he's developed to this point in time. Um. You know, listen,

141
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: you learn a lot from the first first game of

142
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: the regular season, whether you're playing or not playing, when

143
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 1: it's your first time. So I can just go back to, um,

144
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: you know, my first time and being a being a

145
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: part of the first game in my career, and you

146
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: learn an awful lot. So but but that being said,

147
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: I expect that Josh will be ready to go when

148
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: his numbers called, whenever it is called, and that's that's

149
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: his focus right now. Would allow Robert Foster to make

150
00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: the final. Uh, you know another one of our young players.

151
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: Got a number of young players that have have showed

152
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: up and made plays. Um, is he where he needs

153
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: to be? No? Is our team where we need to be? No,

154
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: we all have a lot of work to do, including Robert,

155
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: so um, you know, it's just one taking it one

156
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: day at a time. Right now, we're focused on on

157
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: on a Monday practice and and the Baltimore Ravens a

158
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: very good opponent and it's going to be a hostile environment.

159
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: We understand that we respect them, respect their opponent or

160
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 1: our opponent, and certainly have a lot of respect for

161
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: coach Hardball and his staff as well. So we're gonna

162
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: have a big test this week. Ray Ray will not practice,

163
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: nor will Julian Stanford. We're still working through that. As

164
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: a coach, how do you guard against nat and kind

165
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: of looking over his shoulder knowing that the number seven

166
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: overall jays there behind him, and you guys have a

167
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: lot invested in there. Anything you do as a coach

168
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: to make sure Nathan knows he's kind of got the

169
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: full confidence. Well, Nate and I have certainly spoken, and

170
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: I'll leave that conversation between for the most part, Nate

171
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: and myself. That being said, we all have a big,

172
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: big test this week, so there's no time to look

173
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: over one shoulder. There's right now. We got to put

174
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: all of our effort into into the Bottomore Ravens was

175
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,599
Speaker 1: seven months Well was it? If you think fact that

176
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: Nathan really took but set forward, not even as to

177
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: be the starting quarterback, but just in his development to

178
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: where you could even think about competes. Yeah, I'm not

179
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 1: sure that Joe, that there was one moment. There was

180
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: a series of moments. When you go back and watch

181
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: the journey to this point. Um, you know, you start

182
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: in the spring, like I mentioned, the full body of

183
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: work you start in the spring, and the way he

184
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 1: handled himself, bless you. You go through the early part

185
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: of summer camp and then the preseason games and just

186
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: the full body of work really, um, and the way

187
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: he handled himself. He's a he's a steady young man

188
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: and and um and lot can be said for that.

189
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: We have Ryan Roy will start at center. Russell's had

190
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: a good preseason as well. UM, so feel good about

191
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: both of those young men. Watch really awesome what Thomas

192
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: lee over Nick? What skills? Well, let me first start

193
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: off with Nick Nick. Um, you know what, what more

194
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: could I say about Nick? His his his place stood

195
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: out and spoke for itself. He was he was very

196
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: consistent and dependable. UM. And and a tough football player,

197
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 1: which I have a lot of respect for Nick and

198
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: his family. UM. You know that being said, we've we've

199
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: taken a step in a different direction here and feel

200
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: confident with the guys that we kept in and certainly

201
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: Charles and then Jason and and Cary and and UM

202
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 1: and Logan, Um. They all bring a little bit of

203
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: different skill set to the table. UM. And it's it's

204
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: been nice to watch a guy like Jason developed. He's

205
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: a young man that's busted his busted his tail being

206
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: injured a little bit last year, then on our practice

207
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 1: squad and and uh in a developmental role for the

208
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: most part all the last season, with a better part

209
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: of the end of last season, and then UH to

210
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: see him work over the course of the summer. Um,

211
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: you know, I've came in a couple of times over

212
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: the summer and he was, you know in the uh,

213
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: in the indoor, working by himself. Um, when that's that's

214
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: a great part of a lot of our guys, you know, um,

215
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 1: what happens behind closed doors, just in terms of their

216
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: work ethic when when maybe nobody's watching and there's cameras

217
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: aren't on, Uh, you guys aren't there. Um, these guys

218
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: work and a lot could be said for that. I

219
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: think you're referenced earlier. But so the new condortory will

220
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: be your holder going forward. Yes, and just in your

221
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: experience just getting that down to timing and all of that,

222
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: and you've got six day work required. They think it's

223
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's certainly something I'm aware of, Chris. Um. Look,

224
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: it's it's part of the relationship between a putter and

225
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: a kicker that it's got to come along, um fairly

226
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: fast at this point in time. So Brandon and I

227
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: are aware of that. UM, and we'll just continue to

228
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: continue to monitor how that, how that flows through this

229
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: week and um and we'll go from there. He said.

230
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: Josh is on schedule with with his development and they'd

231
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: be comfortable with his numbers. Called what are the next

232
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: steps and his development visual you see heres Man the

233
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: red season. Yeah, I'm not really going to get into

234
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: what Josh has to do next, And with all due

235
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: respect again to your question, I don't right now. Again,

236
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: we're focused. This is this is the Buffalo Bills against

237
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens, a very good football team, and that's

238
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: where our focus needs to be. Look like, he really

239
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: got a couple of nice jumps last couple of weeks.

240
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: He kind of just want to thro his development and

241
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: where you feel his dams at and how much he

242
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: can contribute on defense and special teams as well. Yeah,

243
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: you know, Surrands made some made some jumps um in

244
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: terms of his development. Certainly a talented young man. Um.

245
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 1: He's he's gaining gaining his feel for the defense and

246
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: special teams and how the NFL game works. And that's

247
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 1: been fun to watch coach Babbage and Saran work together. Uh.

248
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: And he puts in a ton of work off the

249
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: field and it's been fun to watch him reap the

250
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: benefits of that work. With two quarterbacks under roster, nobody

251
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: on the practice while who runs your scout team Josh

252
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: running scout team offense? What do you think the benefit

253
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: that could be for him in terms of running the

254
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: scout team offense. He'll learn just from doing that because

255
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: you know, as as as you guys know, the pace,

256
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: the tempo picks up during the regular season, including practice,

257
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: so he'll he'll get a bunch of reps and scout

258
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: team and he'll learn and grow, and then the reps

259
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: he'll get with the other part of practice, m he'll

260
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: continue to develop. So uh, you know, well, we'll see,

261
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: we'll see from from time to time. You know, we'll

262
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: see and we've got the development period at the end

263
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: of practice where they'll get some reps as well. Thanks, guys, appreciate.

264
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: Head coach Sean McDermott moments ago speaking in the Bills

265
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: media room about the decision to announce today about what

266
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: a fifteen today, UM, Nathan Peterman is going to start

267
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: the opener at Baltimore. Uh, Josh Allen will be the backup.

268
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: Just two quarterbacks on the roster. The reasons, h McDermott

269
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: did not go into a lot of them. He just said, essentially, see,

270
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: he earned the right. I don't think can dispute that.

271
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: It's it's the it's the big picture. Peterman was consistent

272
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: from OTA's Mini camp, training camp, the preseason games during

273
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: practice between those games, um, he just seemed to have

274
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: fewer ups and fewer ups and downs, and particularly fewer

275
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: downs than Josh Allen and AJ McCarron. And I think

276
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: it's the one question I thought it was too. It's

277
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: a little concerning on some levels that you know, they're

278
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: going into an NFL regular season with guys who with

279
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: two overall starts between them and four appearances in games,

280
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: And certainly Josh Allen has got some physical ability that

281
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: wowed a lot of people and still continues to. But

282
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: that's really what they're going in the season with Logan

283
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: Thomas will probably be their emergency quarterback. They didn't get

284
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: into the emergency quarterback situation until week well, the snow

285
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: game here in the Colts game. So I'm not really

286
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: surprised or concerned that they're going in with two guys,

287
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: but no question, the experience factors is going to be

288
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: something to think about. Talk more about this, we'll hear

289
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: from you too. The Phone Line's Hope in the eighth

290
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: fifty to three one eight eight by fifty two five

291
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: fifty Nathan peterbur in the starting quarterback. A lot to discuss,

292
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: and we're coming back in a minute to do that.

293
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live is underway. We're presented by Kalida Health

294

Speaker 1: Happy Labor Day, everybody, Welcome to the show. We started

296
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,600

Speaker 1: through the entire Western hemisphere whose everybody was everybody. It's

301
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: a workday here it is, and I don't mind it.

302
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: You know that means a season this year. We do

303
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: it every day every year. Labor Day. It's good. And

304
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,000

Speaker 1: left the Bills nineteen ninety six his final season, Nathan

306
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: Peterman becomes the one two, three, four, five six seven

307
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: quarterback to start the season at quarterback for the Bills.

308
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: Can't you name them? Do you want to name them? Wow? Okay?

309
00:17:53,760 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: Rob Johnson yep. Doug Flutie yep. EJ Manual yep. Don't

310
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: look at this time, I'm not I'm not hold on

311
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: uh Tyrode yep, JP, yep, you're doing well. You don't

312
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: want two, three, four, five? You need five more? Well?

313
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: Four more? You know? Peterman is one? Right? Okay? Uh Castle, Nope?

314
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,719
Speaker 1: Well does he count? I guess they gave that one

315
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: to Tyrode, which I would remember the game two years.

316
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: What's the other guy's name? Got the concussion before the

317
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: season started, Cobb? He didn't hear, I didn't. I'm not

318
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: using that's not my guest. No, that doesn't count. Okay, um, wait,

319
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: who started right after Jim? You remember that? Todd Collins? Yep?

320
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: Guy started three opening days for the Bills, acquired in

321
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: a trade. Drew Drew blood Cell Yep, you're missing two

322
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: and it will be one of them? Is pre Actually

323
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: both of them pretty obvious. Everybody's favorite league, Tim Tebow, No,

324
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: you got two? Is Ryan Fitzpatrick started two and Trent

325
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: Edwards started three. Ten starting quarterbacks Nathan Peterman the tenth

326
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: starting quarterbacks since Kelly left in ninety six. It seems

327
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: like a lot, right. Rob Johnson had three opening days,

328
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: Drew Bledsoe Lossman had three, Trent Edwards had three, Tyrod

329
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: Taylor had three, and Nathan Peterman an unlikely starter. I think, Steve,

330
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: if you would have gone back to uh, if you

331
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: would have well, I don't know. I might be wrong

332
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: on this. I think if you would have taken a

333
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: poll of Bills fans going back a couple of months ago,

334
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: maybe before training camp, who's going to be the opening

335
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: day starter? I don't I think most people would have

336
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: selected a J. McCarron. I don't know. I bet the

337
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: Peterman would have finished in third place. But I agree,

338
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: you know, I was gonna say, I don't really none

339
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: of us know how Nathan Peterman's gonna play on this weekend,

340
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: although I think most of us have you think about it,

341
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: we all know how he's gonna play. Yeah, you know,

342
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: you know what you're gonna get. I think this is

343
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: a quarterback, Nathan Peterman who's gonna give it his best shot.

344
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: I think it says a lot about his character and

345
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: about what he's overcome here in Buffalo to get back

346
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: onto the field as a quarterback. I think he won

347
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: this coaching staff over and I think it's it just

348
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: says a lot about him. But I think this too,

349
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: we do know what we're gonna get from him, and

350
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: I think all for all of us, here's what it's

351
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 1: going to take. Brian Dable, Sean McDermott and the rest

352
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: of this team. They're gonna have to do some things

353
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: come out. They're gonna have to work around him a

354
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: little bit like they did Tyrod. They know what they're

355
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: gonna get from him, and they're gonna have to give

356
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: him a great game plan that maximizes what he's able

357
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: to give him there. He's gonna need some help from

358
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: the staff more so than a guy physically that Josh

359
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: Allen would. I think for Josh Allen, they have to

360
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: help him in a different way. They're gonna simplify things,

361
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: give him half a field read. They're gonna have to

362
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: do some things progression wise to help Josh Allen get

363
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: through the complexities of looking at an NFL defense as

364
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: usual with I'm sorry to interrupt here with with Nathan

365
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: Peterman as usual. The out of Buffalo perception, the national

366
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: perception is vastly different than what you get in town.

367
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: In town. Look, I'm not saying everybody's on a percent

368
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: behind it in town among Buffalo Bills things, but most

369
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: people get it people watch the preseason and get it

370
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: out of Buffalo. Nationally, they can't get over the first

371
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: half against the Chargers last year, which you know, we

372
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 1: talked about that. I don't think that's relevant. In fact,

373
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: I think his response to that works in his favor

374
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: in terms of this coaching staff, the way he handled that,

375
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: the way he moved on from that. And yet nationally,

376
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: that is how Nathan Peterman is known, and there's nothing

377
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: they can be done about it except for him going

378
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: out and playing and playing the best he can, which

379
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,360
Speaker 1: I think he'll give it a shot nationally, and we've

380
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: seen it here in the offseason. We're kind of neck

381
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: deep in this and the national people kind of parachute

382
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: in and they just get the highlights, you know, remember

383
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman, and that's how they remember him. They don't know,

384
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 1: they don't even know that he started the cult game

385
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: right last year. They have to go back and look,

386
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: they don't, you know, they just say, yeah, you know,

387
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: okay and AJ mccannon and they get they do a

388
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: cursory check of how they did in the preseason and

389
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: what he did, and and you know, you look at

390
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: his numbers in the preseason, they're gonna say, hey, absolutely

391
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: no way he could have not started. But there was

392
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: a lot of but there was a lot of question

393
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: marks as to how he was going to do and

394
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: whether he has enough physical, arm strength and all that

395
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 1: to run it. But I think what we get here

396
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, and you and I particular because we watch

397
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: these guys, is the kind of guy he is. That's

398
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: what got him through that's rough start to his career.

399
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: That's what got him through last year being a backup,

400
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: and you know, the injury in the cold game and

401
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: the bat the opportunity got and then what a cruddy

402
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: opportunity it was in a foot of snow, you know,

403
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: to redeem himself from from the start he got in

404
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,719
Speaker 1: against the Chargers and then all the work that he's

405
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: put in the off season, and I think, more so

406
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: than anything we've heard it snippets of it throughout Sean

407
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: McDermott and all the press appearances he does as a

408
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: head coach through the off season. Nathan Peterman won this

409
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: job back, and he won the respect of the team

410
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: back over the course of a long, hard offseason. And

411
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: you gotta tip your hat to the guy, Yep, you

412
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: really do. It's gonna be fun. It's gonna be fun

413
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: to talk about today, and we're gonna be here until

414
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: three o'clock to do that on this holiday, this Labor Day.

416
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 1: you comfortable now with the Bill's current quarterback situation including

417
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: the treating a way of a J. McCarron. We'll go

418
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 1: through all of that when we come back. Also, we're

419
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,719
Speaker 1: gonna check in and practice. Chris Brown standing by at

Speaker 1: One Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive on Buffalo Bill's Radio.

423
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: Oh good time, tasper done, tous, time to do, to do,

424
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 1: God afternoon, everybody. Welcome to One Bill's Live from One

425
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive. John Murphy's Steeve Tasker wearing the exact same shirts.

426
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: How does that happen? You know what? I mathematically it's

427
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: got a handsome one. But man, this is an early

428
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: I mean because these are like new, these are like

429
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: three weeks new roster. And I told you I just

430
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: grabbed the first thing I see in money closet in

431
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: the morning, and you probably uh spend hours again, I

432
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: sing right looking over your shot. I do a little

433
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: sash array with myself and fully Samie in the back

434
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 1: about this. You know, we try to avoid it right

435
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: as much as we can. But they're great shirts. They're comfortable,

436
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: yeah they are. It's a nice it is. It does

437
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: feel good to put on. But here's what we should

438
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 1: bring all our stuff and you have a little our closet,

439
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,239
Speaker 1: so if we do this, we can change. I got

440
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: a couple other shirts, you know, would be really mathematically

441
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: cool if we did it like two days in a row.

442
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,239
Speaker 1: I would love to know what the odds are if

443
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 1: we go home come back with the If you want

444
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: to do it, today's just call me. I'll where I

445
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: don't want to do it. I want you want to

446
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: be randomly. I want to know what the probability is

447
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: for us to where the exact same shore two days

448
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: in a row. Welcome to the show. We got a

449
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 1: lot more important things to talk about than our choice

450
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: of polo shirts. Today, the Bills have named Nathan Peterman

451
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,959
Speaker 1: as they're starting quarterback. The announcement came out around eight

452
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: fifteen this morning, a head coach Sean McDermott. Perhaps you

453
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: heard a moment ago on our show because we got

454
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: the early start today talking about it. We'll talk about

455
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: it at link today. And we want to know what

456
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: you think about the Bills quarterback setup. What do you think?

457
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: Are you comfortable with the Bills coring quarterback situation? Peterman starting,

458
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: backed up by Josh Ellen. That's it. Two names. What

459
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 1: do you think? Phone lines open? They're wide open right now.

460
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,080

467
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: It's a work week, it's a work day. Labor Day

468
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: is because the season approaches six days away. Bills at

469
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: Baltimore one o'clock in Baltimore, M ANDT Bank stating it's

470
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: a practice day for the Buffalo Bills. They are out

471
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: there on the field right now, eighty three degrees in

472
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: Orchard Park, the grass practice field outside the head Pro

473
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: Sports Training Center, is where they are, and that's where

474
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: Chris Brown Bills Inside or Buffalo Bills dot Com is

475
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: standing by for us. Chris, good afternoon. It looks like

476
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: a beautiful day out there. A little warm today, but

477
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: nice day, right, Yeah, good afternoon, Happy fall, Happy week one.

478
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: They just broke off into individual position drills. Just getting

479
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: started now, so just finished the stretch period and they're

480
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: rolling and I can tell you it's it's warmer than

481
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: eighty three degrees here on the field right now. It's

482
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 1: getting toasty out here, you Brownie. One of the things

483
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 1: that came out of the press conference I was talking

484
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: to murphin they asked him about Vonte Davis, somebody starting

485
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: on the other side of Tredavis, and Sean said, they're

486
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 1: working through that. So interesting. Well, he said last week

487
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: that the competition is still open. And this was coming

488
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: off a game, the Cincinnati preseason game where Vante did

489
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: not look good. Again, that wasn't the first time he

490
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: didn't look great in the preseason opener, and you kind

491
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: of chalked it up to, Okay, the guy's been all

492
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 1: the field for a long time. Had to shut it

493
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: down last November and have groin surgery. It's been a

494
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 1: long road back for him, and he struggled in that game.

495
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: Played better against Cleveland, but then against Cincinnati he struggled again,

496
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: And I think that was eye opening to this defensive

497
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: staff where they're saying in themselves, is this a question

498
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: of he's still rusty or is this a question of

499
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: can he still do it at age twenty nine? Groin

500
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 1: surgery is a very tough injury to come back from.

501
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: I still remember years ago Jay Riemersman had to get

502
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: groin surgery for a persistent groin problem that never got better.

503
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: He was never the same player and eventually shut it

504
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: down after that last it proved to be his last

505
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: year in the league. He wasn't the same player and

506
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,479
Speaker 1: ultimately retired. We all hope that's not the case here

507
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: for Vonte Davis. And I don't want to get ahead

508
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 1: of myself because I'm not a doctor and every case

509
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 1: is different when it comes to groin surgery, But just

510
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: knowing the demands that is put on that muscle area

511
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: for a cornerback who's got to turn and flip his

512
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: hips on almost every single passing play, the demand is

513
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: going to be strenuous on that part of his body

514
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 1: and you've just got to hope that it can hold up,

515
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 1: because if it can, you're very quickly getting deep into

516
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: your depth chart. And Philip Gaines is the next guy

517
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: up as far as the next boundary corner. So it's

518
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: gonna be something that's gonna bear a lot of watching

519
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: here through the early part of the season where you

520
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: just hope that things start to progress and progress well.

521
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: For Vontae Davis, that is an all too important position

522
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: and what we all know as a passing league, and

523
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: he's just looked stiff in his hip turns and his transitions.

524
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: So you know that's gonna show up on tape for

525
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: any opponent that's game planning the Bills, and if he

526
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: gets victimized early and often, it's gonna be something that's

527
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,479
Speaker 1: gonna have to be addressed by this defensive staff. Are

528
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: we ready to talk about quarterbacks? Is there an issue?

529
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: No issue anymore? Brownie? We know that Peterman is a starter.

530
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on that and your thoughts on the timing

531
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: of the announcement, Why this morning do you think from

532
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, Well, it's week one, it's time to get

533
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: the ball rolling. This is the direction they want to

534
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: take with the offense, and I'm fine with it quite frankly,

535
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: not that they care what my opinion is, but I

536
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: think it's important for the team to know what the

537
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: direction is. Also, Coach referenced that last week in one

538
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: of his press conferences. He said, I'm not gonna make

539
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: a decision until I'm ready and I know who my

540
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: person is that's going to be starting a quarterback. But

541
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: I also don't want it to be a distraction to

542
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: the rest of my team where they're constantly asking, well,

543
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: who are we going with here? And so I don't

544
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: know if that was an element in making this decision today,

545
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: but guys, we're six days away from the opener. I

546
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: think we had to. I think he had to make

547
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: a declarative statement as to who the starting quarterback was,

548
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: and all signs were pointing to Peterman anyway. With the

549
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,479
Speaker 1: numbers that he put up in the preseason, I mean,

550
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: they far outpaced the other two competitors in that competition

551
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: in mccaren, you know, and in Josh Allen, the rookie

552
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: eighty and a half percent completion percentage. I mean, that's

553
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: an astronomical number. Ten and a half yards per attempt.

554
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: I think if there was one thing that Nathan Peterman

555
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: showed in terms of upping his game another notch from

556
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: where it was last year at this time, it was

557
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,719
Speaker 1: his improved ability to drive the ball down the field. Now,

558
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: he's never gonna throw at sixty yards on a dime

559
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: like Josh Allen can, but you combine his short to

560
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: intermediate passing consistency and ball location with his improved ability

561
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: to drive the ball downfield. The touchdown passed the Kelvin

562
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: Benjamin in the preseason opener being a perfect example. I mean,

563
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: I think it was it was hands down Nate Peterman's job. Yeah.

564
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: One of the things that we noticed as well was

565
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: that he had fewer swoons in his game. I'm both

566
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: both Josh Allen and AJ mccaren. While they did play

567
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: as well as Peterman at times and sometimes showed more

568
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: than Peterman did, they also had moments in their game

569
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: where they dipped where they couldn't get you know, they

570
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: couldn't buy themselves time, they couldn't find the open guy,

571
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: their completion percentage dropped. I think it was as much

572
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: the consistency and taken out the bad play that helped

573
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: Peterman win the job more than anything. I mean, it's

574
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: like I told you guys on the show last week.

575
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: The number one thing here coming out of the Gate

576
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: Week one, week two, week three, Week four, where they're

577
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: gonna be going against some pretty formidable defensive units, they've

578
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: got to be functional on offense. I think the general

579
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: consensus here is that the defense is going to have

580
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: to work really hard to hold this team in games,

581
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: knowing the lack of experience at quarterback, whether it was

582
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: Peterman or Allen, I mean, we know it's Peterman. Yes,

583
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: he's got some couple of starts under his belt at

584
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: the NFL level, but still vastly inexperienced, and so I

585
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: think the general consensus was defense has got to hold

586
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: him in some games. If the offense can just be functional,

587
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: stay on the field, finish drives with points, you enhance

588
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: your chances of winning some football games early here in

589
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: the season. Peterman gives you the best opportunity to do that.

590
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: He's a rhythm passer, five step drop that backfoots in

591
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: the ground the balls coming out, three step drop, third

592
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: steps in the ground, balls coming out, And so I

593
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: think that lends itself not only to the functionality of

594
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: the offense, but on a second level, it makes this

595
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: offensive line look better. I don't think there's any secret

596
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: this offensive line is going to need some work here

597
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: through the early stages of the season. I think Nathan

598
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: Peterman makes your line look better just by virtue of

599
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: the fact that he does get the ball out quickly

600
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: on a consistent basis. We're talking with Chris Brown Bills

601
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: Inside or Chris Brown from Buffalo Bills dot Com. He's

602
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: on the practice field where the Bills are live right now,

603
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: going through their Monday practice, really an extra practice to

604
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: get ready for the Baltimore Ravens as the season opens

605
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: up this coming Sunday in Baltimore. Chris, it's worth noting

606
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: and will it has been noted how inexperienced the quarterback

607
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: room is for the Buffalo Bills, just those two. I mean,

608
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: one of the strong arguments for keeping the mccaron around,

609
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: I thought late last week was that, you know, they

610
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: didn't really have They had what Nathan Peterman's two NFL

611
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: starts represented the some total of starts of between Peterman

612
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: and Allen that's gone. Now. It's an extremely young room

613
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: and I don't know was had a bit of a risky.

614
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: I hear all the talk about emergency quarterbacks. No one

615
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: wants to play an emergency quarterback. What does it tell

616
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: you about the Bills and maybe the risk they're taking

617
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: to have such a young, inexperienced quarterback depth charter right now. Yeah,

618
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: it is a risk. And coach even said in his

619
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: press conference today nothing replaced his experience, so there is

620
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: value in that. But here's the problem. The problem was

621
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: that when this all came out in the Wash, AJ

622
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: McCarron was going to be the third string quarterback. So

623
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: you gotta put yourself in McCarron shoes, and I think

624
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: coach McDermott did, and he said, look, this is a

625
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: guy that's been a backup for the first four years

626
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: of his NFL career. He came here to compete to

627
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: be the starter. The way it ended up, he was

628
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: going to be in a worse position than he was

629
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati because he was going to be the three

630
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:49,719
Speaker 1: if he was on this roster. Guys, I don't think

631
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: there's any question about that. And I think what coach

632
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: McDermott tried to do was find a destination where maybe

633
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: he could be something more than that. If there was

634
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: a suitable aid partner in Oakland came to the forefront

635
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: and you know, offered a fifth round draft choice. It

636
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: allowed the Bills to get more draft capital for what

637
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 1: is quickly becoming a loaded twenty nineteen draft for the Bills,

638
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 1: where they now hold ten picks in the twenty nineteen

639
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: draft with that five that they get from Oakland. And

640
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: so it's a chance for a J. McCarron to maybe

641
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: land on his feet. And they're not in the business

642
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: doing him Christen. They're not in the business of doing

643
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: favors for McCarron or any other players. No, But I

644
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 1: think it's I think it's an alternate byproduct. And I'm

645
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: gonna say this, Murph, I don't think a J. McCarron

646
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: would have blended well in this room as the third string.

647
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: I don't think it will work. I see it. I

648
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 1: think I don't think. I don't think his demeanor and

649
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: his competitive nature would have allowed him to function positively

650
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: in a quarterback room that would probably want to lean

651
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: on his experience. I don't know that it would have

652
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: worked very well in that room. And I don't think

653
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: it's any issue either getting a fifth round draft pick

654
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: back for him. That's where AJ was drafted. I think

655
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: he continues to be that uh and I think AJ,

656
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: I think Nate Heiterman rather has elevated himself past where

657
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: he was drafted. I think he's outperformed that spot by

658
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 1: the kind of guy is, by the fact that he's

659
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: built a nice little stretch run here in Buffalo, and

660
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 1: the really won the respect of the coaching staff that

661
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 1: the drafted him. So I don't have a problem if

662
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna go with two quarterbacks. They I think they

663
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: picked the right too. And I think getting a fifth

664
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 1: rounder back for AJ McCarron is maybe better. It's better

665
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: than just releasing him, no question about it. Yeah, I

666
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: mean I don't disagree, and you know it's a risk, guys.

667
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: I don't think it's any secret that it's a risk,

668
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: and I think Bill's fans should prepare themselves for some

669
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: growing pains. Now. You know it's not going to all

670
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: be perfect out there. People will say, well, what are

671
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: you talking about. He showed he showed up great in

672
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: the preseason, and yes, Nathan Peterman absolutely did. He was fantastic.

673
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. We got the regular season football.

674
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: It's a different ball of Wax. You've got teams specifically

675
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: game planning for you. The game plan you're facing in

676
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 1: that opposing defense is far more intricate than anything that

677
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: was seen in the preseason. So I think it's a

678
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 1: situation where there's gonna be some ups and downs guys

679
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball because of what

680
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 1: you've got at the quarterback position. Yes, a vastly improved

681
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman, no question about it. But there's just quite frankly,

682
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: gonna be some things that he just hasn't seen before

683
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: in the regular season setting. There's no way he's seen everything.

684
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: He's had two NFL starts. Guys, we gotta be realistic, Hey, Chris,

685
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: real quick. One more thing. Ryan Groy announced as the

686
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: starter at center, Is that right? That's correct? Yeah, And

687
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: I don't think that was a surprise either. A little

688
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: bit bigger man, a little bit stronger man in the

689
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,240
Speaker 1: pivot there than Russell Bodine. Not to say that Bodine

690
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 1: I had a bad camp, but I think it really

691
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: was gonna be what your flavor preference was there. Do

692
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: you want the bigger, stronger drive blocker in Ryan Groy

693
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: or do you want the smaller, more mobile guy in

694
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 1: Russell Bodine. They went with the drive blocker, which could

695
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: be telling in terms of what they want to do

696
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: in the run game this season. All right, Chris, thanks

697
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: very much, Chris Brown. Chris Brown, Bills inside a Buffalo

698
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: Bills On, come on the practice field. It seems breezy, right,

699
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: Didn't the look and feel sound breezy out there? It

700
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: is his shirts flapping in the reasons. I'm glad he

701
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: had the little mic cover on, otherwise he wouldn't be

702
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: able to hear him. Yeah, yeah, it's it's a it's

703
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: a beautiful day, really hot though. Um, but believe me

704
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,399
Speaker 1: that with the extra practice this it's got to feel

705
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: so good. I remember the thing that I remember now

706
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: about being this first practice after the final cuts were made.

707
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: You go out there for stretch and nobody is there.

708
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: It's like fifty instead of ninety guys, there's fifty and

709
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: you feel like, how we're even going to play a game?

710
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: And it is sad too, because there's a lot of

711
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: guys you really liked and loved and respected and they're

712
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: just not there. And it's it's a it's a rough

713
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,800
Speaker 1: beginning to your first week of the season. Always Nathan

714
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: Peterman is the starter named so this morning he will

715
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: be the start of this Sunday in Baltimore. What do

716
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: you think about that? What do you think about the

717
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 1: Bills quarterback situation in general? That's our tope discussed today.

718
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: Steve and I here until three o'clock. We got Logan

719
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: Thomas coming on after practice. He made the roster. He

720
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: is one of those mentioned as a potential emergency quarterback.

721
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: Thank you get down. I hope we never get to

722
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: see him. Please if you never, If you get down

723
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 1: to your emergency quarterback, you just don't think you're gonna

724
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: win the game. You kind of chalk it up because

725
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: something bad has happened. And it's nothing on your coaching staff.

726
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: It's not about not being prepared. It's nothing about that.

727
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: It's just a couple of bad breaks that you get.

728
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: And if you're going to your emergency quarterback, you know

729
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: you're if you're close and you got a chance it's

730
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: late in the game, you're gonna keep fighting and keep

731
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: trying to win. But you really, yeah, all the all

732
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: the plan and preparation goes out the window. Then the

733
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: question today, are you comfortable with the Bill's quarterback situation.

734
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: Now that it's set up this way, Peterman starts, They'll

735
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 1: go number one and then there's only one other, Josh

736
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: Allen number two. Are you comfortable with it? See if

737
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: I'm comfortable with it. I appreciate Nathan Peterman a lot.

738
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 1: He is a good is a great guy. He has

739
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: at a great camp. He earned that job. As Sean

740
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: McDermott said, I guess I'm a little I have to

741
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: say him, I'm a lately and I know that's the

742
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 1: right move to me. I'm just slightly disappointed that Josh

743
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: Ellen didn't play better, didn't show better, in particular in

744
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati game, to claim that job. It was out

745
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: there for him. I didn't think, you know, some people said, well,

746
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: it's his job to lose. No, it was not going

747
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: into Cincinnati. But it was his job to win. And

748
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 1: there's a subtle but important difference, Aaron. He did not

749
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 1: win it for what he showed against the Bengals eight

750
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: days ago, and I'm disappointed in that because I think

751
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: it would have been more exciting. I think it offers

752
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: some great opportunities Josh Allen's arm, great opportunities for the

753
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 1: Buffalo offense that don't exist with Nathan Peterman. So I wish,

754
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, I wish McCarron had played

755
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: better in the summer too. I wish J. J. McCarron

756
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: had shown better and didn't get hurt. That didn't help

757
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: when he got banged up a little bit. Am I

758
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: comfortable with the Bill's quarterback situation. I'm moderately comfortable. I

759
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: know they picked the right guy with Nathan Peterman of

760
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: these three, but I wish the things had gone a

761
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: little bit different. I'm with you, and I think too,

762
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 1: when you think back about what things could have been

763
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: different that would have changed the outcome of this quarterback competition,

764
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 1: I don't know that. Uh, you know, a lot can

765
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 1: be said about, you know, the fact that their offensive

766
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: line wasn't work in progress in the preseason. They were,

767
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: they were shuffling them around. I think that that served to,

768
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, to hamper the ability the quarterbacks to play

769
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 1: as well as they would have. Leshaun McCoy got like

770
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 1: what eight snaps the entire preseason or something like. I mean,

771
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 1: he was like barely on the field, So they weren't

772
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: working with their top guys around them. Even when the

773
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: ones were playing Leshaun McCoy wasn't part of the game plan.

774
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: He wasn't the focal point of the offense. Their offensive

775
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 1: line was maybe what it was going to be. They just, uh,

776
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: there were a lot of things that going on around

777
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: that quarterback that you know, were good reasons for why

778
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: they were ineffective at times. And I think when you

779
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: get into the regular season, everybody feels like they're gonna

780
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: play better because them. You're gonna have the five guys

781
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: on offense, you're gonna have a full compliment of skill players,

782
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have a game plan tailored to the

783
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 1: skill set of who's on the field. So if Josh

784
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: Allen were to get into a game or to become

785
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: the star midseason, have a full week of preparation installing

786
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 1: a game plan, particularly if it's a couple of three, four, five, ten,

787
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: eight weeks or twelve weeks down the road, He's going

788
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 1: to have a better, much better handle on how to

789
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: prepare and what it's going to take for him to

790
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,399
Speaker 1: be successful, and so will the coaching staff. So as

791
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: as up and down and spotty as the quarterback play

792
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 1: was and offensive play was in this preseason, I think

793
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: it's going to get better when the regular season kicks off. Also,

794
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: I just do we'll take your calls on in this question.

795
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: Are you comfortable with the Bills quarterback situation? Eight oh

Speaker 1: the radio. And coming up, as they said, Logan Thomas

800
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: joins us after practice today, and we're gonna hear from

801
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman and Josh Allen after practice. Peterman will be

802
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: at the postgame post practice podium. Josh Shallen will be

803
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 1: in the locker room. We'll hear their thoughts on the

804
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 1: quarterback decisions today. Coming up after practice, there'll be sometime

805
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 1: between one forty five and let's say two thirty. All right,

806
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 1: phone calls on this Mike calling from Jersey, Jersey, Mike,

807
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: are you there? Go ahead, Jersey Mike, you're on the

808
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: air with us. Let me see if I can bring

809
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: them up or they can bring them out in the

810
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 1: studio if they would. Hello, Jersey Mike, Mike, you're on

811
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: the air. Go ahead, Hi, How are you good? Thank you? Yeah, Hey,

812
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 1: I just heard about the Nathan Peterman going to be

813
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 1: our starter this you know, first game. Uh, you know,

814
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna it's a huge mistake. And I think,

815
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: you know, once he throws a couple of the speak

816
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: sexes on the out, you know, Um, I think we're

817
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 1: going to be the lasting stop of the NFL yere

818
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: And I think if this year goes really bad, I want,

819
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: you know, to you know, our bills to create an

820
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 1: exit plan for Sean McDermot. And you're way ahead, You're

821
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 1: way down the road, Mike, And let's let's assume this

822
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 1: is a series call for a second, and I'll give

823
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: you the benefit of the doubt. What would you have done?

824
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 1: Why is it a mistake to make Peterman the starter?

825
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: Because if you would you have done I would have started,

826
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: you know, I would have made Josh Allen the starter

827
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 1: throughout the whole off season. And you know the reason is,

828
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: you know, even though he had a bad third game,

829
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: he had couple of first down running the ball, the

830
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: receivers dropped a couple of balls, the offensive line was crap,

831
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: and then the first couple of games he played, he

832
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 1: had a really good game. He threw those you know,

833
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: a pass in the end zone. To raid and McCloud

834
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: and sweeter. So he showed some good things. It's just that,

835
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: you know, we had this thing about notional competition and

836
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: that you know, that kind of killed his girl. I

837
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: think this off season we should have made him the

838
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: starter all along. What about the Cincinnati game. Cincinnati game,

839
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not just him, like you know, it's

840
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: just the offensive offensive line. You know, the receivers dropped

841
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 1: a couple of balls, and I mean, look at his

842
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,439
Speaker 1: you know, he was still able to, you know, try

843
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,240
Speaker 1: to you know, get out of some of the sacks.

844
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: You know. So I still think that he uses a

845
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 1: better shot because with him is a quarterback, it's automatically

846
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: our running is going to be improving because he had

847
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 1: this big gone on with Nam. It's not gonna be

848
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:05,800
Speaker 1: like that because they're gonna stomp the box because this

849
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: guy is on the field. What do you think of that? See, well,

850
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying, Mike. Here's the thing I mean,

851
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: and I and I know what you mean. We've seen

852
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman throw those out those five yard hitches and

853
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: they we've seen him get picked off. Um, we've and

854
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: it happened to Aj McCarron as well in the in

855
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: the last game in Chicago. So it's one of those

856
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,919
Speaker 1: situations where you gotta know that the coaching staff sees

857
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: it too. They're not going to ask these guys to

858
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: do things they're not capable of doing. They're gonna put

859
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: some plays, a game plan in that's gonna cater to

860
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,840
Speaker 1: their strengths. Uh, and not the strengths of Josh Allen.

861
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 1: But I do get it too. A lot of people think, listen,

862
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: this is not a team that's gonna win the super

863
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 1: Bowl this year, So let's put Josh Allen in and

864
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: get him ready. And we heard Chris Brown in our

865
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: last segment say, you know, this is a team that

866
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: looks like it's it's got ten draft picks in the

867
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen draft. They've got they're gonna have one

868
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars to spend in free agency or some

869
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,959
Speaker 1: such thing like that. Uh, you know, let's get Josh

870
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: Allen ready to take advantage of that situation in two

871
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 1: thousand and nineteen. Uh. Really, that's I don't. I don't.

872
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 1: I'm not a subscribe to that. But if you know

873
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 1: those people are out there and they think just let's

874
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 1: get Josh Allen a head start, and I don't think

875
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,919
Speaker 1: you can do that. You really can't. Um. I will

876
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 1: go on, how about Jersey Mike planning an exit strategy

877
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: fresh on mctain's way down the road. Bro, That's not

878
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: gonna that is not gonna happen. They have done too

879
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 1: many good things and are in two They are on

880
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 1: a too clear of a path that we've all seen. Uh.

881
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: Last year was a testament to what this guy can

882
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: get out of less now. Certainly that they may take

883
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: a step backwards this year, we don't know. But man,

884
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: oh man, let's you know, let's ride this for a

885
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: couple of three, four more years before we start, you know,

886
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: start throwing dirt on his grave. From the tweet sheet,

887
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:06,240
Speaker 1: are you comfortable with the Bill's quarterback situation with Peterman?

888
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: The starter? Backed up Josh Allen from Lee His response, absolutely,

889
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 1: I agree with this. Last year does not define this year.

890
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: It is a new era in Buffalo one to be

891
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 1: absolutely excited about. Go Bills, Go Peterman. Yeah, last year,

892
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 1: I guess he means Peterman's performance against the Chargers again

893
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 1: that I guarantee you that's not a factor in the

894
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,280
Speaker 1: way the Bills think about Nathan Peterman. Do you agree?

895
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even I was there. I remember it.

896
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 1: It was awful. And we can go right through every

897
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 1: interception in those five in the first half. But I

898
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 1: don't think that plays into this at all. I don't know.

899
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: Here's maybe from the outside looking and you see they're

900
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,879
Speaker 1: starting the guy who threw five interceptions in the first half. Yeah,

901
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: they are, because they know more about him than than

902
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 1: most people. Well here's the thing. They saw him throw those,

903
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: but they've also seen everything since. And how much do

904
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,399
Speaker 1: you think Peterman had to do to win him back

905
00:46:57,840 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: after they after they threw him in there and he

906
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: did that. He's done that. He has absolutely done that.

907
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: He did it a little bit last year. And let

908
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: me tell you this, as a player, I used to play,

909
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: and I know how this goes. You're a player and

910
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,280
Speaker 1: things like that happen and you have a bad outing

911
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: and a quarterback, particularly as a quarterback, at some point,

912
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: you gotta stick your head back in the huddle and say, guys,

913
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 1: I'm going to get better. You can count on me.

914
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: Let's do this together, and I'm not going to throw

915
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 1: another five interception a half, I promise you, let's go,

916
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: and they have to believe it, that it's true that

917
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:29,839
Speaker 1: you're telling them the truth. Plus, after that game, after

918
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: you have a bad game, any game, even as a team,

919
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 1: when you lose, it happens so fast that you move

920
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 1: on ahead and go from there the past of the pack.

921
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: You forget about it as players because you're working towards

922
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: the next opportunity. You're working towards the next game, you're

923
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 1: working towards the next practice. You forget about what happened bad.

924
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 1: You learn from it, and you move on. It doesn't

925
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: affect what you're doing except to make you better. And

926
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: that's what where Nathan Peterman is right now. He is

927
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 1: you use that to his advantage, and he's got some

928
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 1: experience that nobody else in the league does not. Too

929
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 1: many guys have done that and come back and played

930
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: after that. They you know, it's something that is going

931
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: to help him and his paid dividends. Even now, less

932
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,760
Speaker 1: than the year after it happened. I think the coaching

933
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 1: staff sees it. He's proven time and time again that

934
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: he's overcoming and learned from it, and I think that

935
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna see a much better Nathan Peterman from now

936
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: on than you have, even to this point in the

937
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 1: preseason when he's completing eighty percent of his passes. I'm

938
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 1: not saying he's going to do that in the regular season,

939
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 1: but I do think they're gonna put together a game

940
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 1: plan that's gonna be effective. All Right, we're gonna break

941
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: and we're gonna continue this discussion. Are you comfortable with

942
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,840
Speaker 1: the Bill's quarterback a situation with the decision to start Peterman,

943
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: the decision to keep just two. We're gonna go through

944
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 1: the cuts as the afternoon moves along, the cuts made

945
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 1: just two days ago. All of this on the table today.

946
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 1: Logan Thoma's going to join this after practice as well.

947
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: Come on back, a lot more to come. It is

948
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 1: John Murphy and Steam Tasker One Bill's Live from One

955
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:31,879
Speaker 1: you agree with this? Labor Day always makes me sad,

956
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 1: and it has since I was a young man. Going

957
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 1: back to school. It always is a signal of the

958

Speaker 1: end of summer and go back to school. I was

959
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: getting a little sad on Labor Day. Nope, nope, no, no,

960
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: you don't see you love Labor Day. I grew up

961
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 1: in small towns where Labor Day was the fair, and

962
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 1: that was the time of the day. We went out

963
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:51,399
Speaker 1: to the fair and it was a one day fair,

964
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 1: little tiny, tiny counter fair guy. We know that I

965
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 1: am a fair guy. And you got some CFL football

966

973
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 1: very much so, very much so. There's all the chance

974
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 1: and they both cities hate each other, and the fan

975
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 1: bases hate each other. They did disrespect each other. You're

976
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of fun. It's gonna be fun.

977
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 1: We got news here, Sean McDermot made the announcement. The

978
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:34,759
Speaker 1: Bills released announcement eight fifteen this morning, and then about

979
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 1: an hour ago McDermot went to the podium and said,

980
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman will start Week one in Baltimore. Here's what

981
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 1: it sounded like. Natives are in the right. Um. I

982
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,319
Speaker 1: thought his total body of work all the way back

983
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: from from the spring, through the summer and fall camp

984
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:53,879
Speaker 1: to this point. Um, you know, he is certainly earned

985
00:50:53,920 --> 00:51:00,399
Speaker 1: the right competition at the end of the day. Decision, Well,

986
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 1: it's always a tough decision. And that's a good thing

987
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 1: because because those guys were competing at a high level

988
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 1: and so and I would say, there's we've had a

989
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: lot of tough decisions, which which is a good thing

990
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 1: for our roster. Again, credit our scouting staff, Brandon and

991
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:21,439
Speaker 1: his staff for making you know, certainly our roster better

992
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:25,399
Speaker 1: than it has been in terms of the competition level.

993
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: I thought through camp and you guys were out there, Um,

994
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 1: there was high levels of competition at a lot of positions.

995
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: That Sean McDermott talking about the reasons as much as

996
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 1: he wanted to get into the reasons behind it, the

997
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:39,439
Speaker 1: competition they had a quarterback, and a lot of people

998
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 1: tweeting in some suggestions how to move forward. Yeah, I

999
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 1: keep forgetting that. We have to spell it out a

1000
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 1: little bit. Rick Rodriguez tweeted. Rick suggests, why not put

1001
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 1: Josh Allen on the practice squad for a year and

1002
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 1: keep aj And for those of you who know the rules,

1003
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: you're not going to do that. Practice squad makes him

1004
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: a free agent and he'd be on there about twenty

1005
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:03,879
Speaker 1: minutes before the first team and they'd be on another

1006
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 1: team and cut him. Yeah, they'd have to cut him

1007
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:07,880
Speaker 1: in about twenty minutes. He'd be on another team and

1008
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:10,279
Speaker 1: we'd lose Josh Allen and all the wrangling we did, John,

1009
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: you can't put a player that you really want to

1010
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 1: keep on the practice squad because they're a free agent.

1011
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 1: They're practicing with your team and they're learning your stuff

1012
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 1: and you're going through they're trying to develop, but they're

1013
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 1: not on your team. They are a free agent. So

1014
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 1: if there's somebody on the Bengals practice squad that the

1015
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 1: Bills like, they can sign him right away, boom done.

1016
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 1: That's it. So you can't put Josh Allen on the

1017
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 1: practice squad. He'd be gone. What do you think your

1018
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: thoughts on the quarterback decision in the Bills? A quarterback situation?

1019
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 1: A call from Steven am Hr Steve, go ahead, you're

1020
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 1: on the air with this. Yeah, Just so you know,

1021
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,439
Speaker 1: I'm a former season ticket holder for over twenty years.

1022
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 1: I give up my seats when Jim Kelly retired. Okay,

1023
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 1: and it just turned out to be probably the seventeen

1024
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: shittiest years that the Bills have have had, So it

1025
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:00,080
Speaker 1: worked out. Thanks for Colling. Let's go to Chase on

1026
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,719
Speaker 1: Grand Island. Hello, Chase, Hey, I was going guys. Good?

1027
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 1: Oh ahead, Chase. Yeah. My thoughts are are pretty simple.

1028
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 1: Last year I had the thought that Peter Manny was

1029
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:12,759
Speaker 1: going to start this year and I kind of got

1030
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 1: laughed off the Facebook. But my thoughts on that is

1031
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:20,800
Speaker 1: that Dennison's structure of play progression is totally different than Dables. Obviously,

1032
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: he was trying to force the pass where Tyrod couldn't

1033
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 1: do it, and then of course he tried to make

1034
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: Peterman do the exact same thing against a very good

1035
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 1: prevent defense on the charters who kept jumping lines. I

1036
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,440
Speaker 1: mean it's simple. I mean, Steve, you played tight end

1037
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: man anytime you're running out in a line, you're writing

1038
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,720
Speaker 1: a tight end out route and you've got a cornerback

1039
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 1: who jumps in front of you. I mean usually they're

1040
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 1: going to get the ball before you do, you know.

1041
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 1: So that's kind of like the five interceptions of last year.

1042
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 1: And really it wasn't it wasn't all his fault, and

1043
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:53,359
Speaker 1: if you watched the play progression you can see it right.

1044
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 1: So with me, the way I thought this year was

1045
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:58,919
Speaker 1: I wanted to see, you know, some quick three step

1046
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 1: drops quicklyly, um, you know, inside line passes, some slot passes,

1047
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:04,840
Speaker 1: some good stuff that he can reach some of the

1048
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: bigger guys with. And sure enough he did. I mean

1049
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 1: the first game when he was nine and ten, Yeah,

1050
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 1: nine on ten passes he made perfectly. I mean, well

1051
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 1: it should have been ten on ten. The guy you remember,

1052
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:15,840
Speaker 1: the one dunked off the face mask and guy intercepted.

1053
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 1: That was his loan completion. Yeah, so you're right, he

1054
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 1: was ten of ten for me. So your point, as

1055
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 1: you saw this coming, chases at it, yeah, I mean

1056
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 1: you not only see it coming, but I mean people

1057
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 1: who don't see his skill set don't see his capability.

1058
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 1: Just by the way that he carries himself in stature

1059
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 1: I mean, and the way he releases the ball tight scene.

1060
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like when whenever he plays the ball.

1061
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:40,799
Speaker 1: So I played running back when I played a little

1062
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 1: bit of football, and then I realized that was there's

1063
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 1: better than soccer. But one thing you notice from good

1064
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 1: quarterbacks is that they they release quick. Everything is about

1065
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 1: their timing and structure, right, So stable structure of offensive

1066
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 1: coordination is a bunch of quick plays for the first

1067
00:54:57,239 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 1: and second hit. So the first and second person that

1068
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: back see were the ones that are going to get

1069
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: the ball. He doesn't. Okay, I see what you're saying,

1070
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:06,839
Speaker 1: and I do think I believe that Peterman is better

1071
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: equipped for success this year with Brian Dable than he

1072
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: was a year ago. Yeah, I don't forget it. Early

1073
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,279
Speaker 1: in the season last year, they also were revamping a

1074
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:16,879
Speaker 1: run game with a zone blocking scheme and it didn't

1075
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 1: work out, and so their running game wasn't working to

1076
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,959
Speaker 1: help their passing game either. So they were a little

1077
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,600
Speaker 1: bit they were still trying to find themselves last year

1078
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,759
Speaker 1: early in the season. But you're right, I agree with you.

1079
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 1: This is a coaching staff that that is capable of

1080
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 1: putting together a game plan that will help Nathan Peterman

1081
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: be successful. I don't think there's any question Leshan McCoy

1082
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 1: is going to be a big part of what they're doing.

1083
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's interesting. You're right. I

1084
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 1: mean this we don't know what it's going to look like.

1085
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:51,319
Speaker 1: And I think for a lot of people, we still

1086
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 1: don't know what the team. I mean, we haven't seen

1087
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: Trent Murphy take a snap we've seen. We don't know

1088
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 1: how healthy Kyle Williams is going to be going into

1089
00:55:58,000 --> 00:55:59,879
Speaker 1: the season. We don't know Star Low two, till lad

1090
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 1: lelay with Tremaine Edmonds. This defense is going to have

1091
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:04,919
Speaker 1: a lot to say about how good the entire team

1092
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 1: is going to be and how good the offense has

1093
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 1: to be to overcome. We do think, and we suspect

1094
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:11,800
Speaker 1: and Murph, I think you were with me. The defense

1095
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 1: is gonna be kind of the engine that runs this

1096
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 1: team for a while, at least with with the changes

1097
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 1: that have happened in the offensive line, the uncertainty that

1098
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: has been apparent there in the preseason. But we don't

1099
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:25,879
Speaker 1: know what either side of this football team is gonna

1100
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 1: look like. There are a lot of new faces. They

1101
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:32,920
Speaker 1: didn't play very much in the preseason, and with the

1102
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 1: changeing the offensive line, you can't even really lean on

1103
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 1: that running game with Lashawn McCoy that much. And I

1104
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:41,879
Speaker 1: don't even right, yeah, right, I mean that's what you hope. Yeah.

1105
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:44,279
Speaker 1: And then uh, and then Brian Dayboll, you get the

1106
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:47,040
Speaker 1: feeling we've talked to him. We laugh behind the scenes.

1107
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:49,800
Speaker 1: I guess I'll share this with the listeners. Brian Dayboll

1108
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:53,359
Speaker 1: doesn't say anything in an in an interview. We can't

1109
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 1: get We couldn't get him when he first came here.

1110
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 1: We couldn't get him to tell us his favorite restaurant

1111
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:00,320
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. He wouldn't tell He wouldn't answer the Christian.

1112
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,880
Speaker 1: So you know that to me is both on one side,

1113
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 1: it's like, wow, I don't know how this is going

1114
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 1: to turn out. It may be we may be a

1115
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 1: one and fifteen club, or it's like, oh my gosh,

1116
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:14,879
Speaker 1: it's they had a handlot it the whole time. We're

1117
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:18,640
Speaker 1: gonna be pretty good. I have no idea by by

1118
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 1: talking to the coaches, and there's some of the things

1119
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 1: I see out there, like wow, that gives me a

1120
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 1: lot of hope. I think these guys might be and

1121
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 1: then this other time it's like, oh my gosh, I

1122
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 1: don't know, give me favors. The week moves along, Get

Speaker 1: ready because on Friday, we're gonna ask you for your

1124
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 1: season prediction. How many wins, how many losses? All right,

1125
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to do that. I have no idea. Well,

1126
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: you've got four days to figure it out when you're

1127
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 1: sitting there and I can't come up with a with

1128
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 1: a quality prediction. Right now, you're sitting there at iver

1129
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 1: Win Stadium to Tim Morton Stadium and there's a time

1130
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 1: out and you think about how many win how many wins?

1131
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:51,440
Speaker 1: Do I really think the builds are gonna havel h?

1132
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 1: What do you think I've been thinking about for the

1133
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: last six months? I mean, right, you're trying to and

1134
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 1: it changes every day. Ask me Friday, asked me Saturday.

1135
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna ask your Friday. Right. Hey, this is interesting,

1136
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 1: I think and one of our producers, Jeff Colton, I

1137
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 1: came up with this a tweak from a Pro Football

1138
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 1: Focus analytics guy, John Dagel, who's put together the past

1139
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 1: defense efficiency of every team's opponents. Now, look listen to

1140
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 1: this and maybe this plays into the decision to start Peterman.

1141
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 1: Maybe it doesn't. But in the first three weeks for

1142
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 1: the Bill schedule at Baltimore Chargers, at Minnesota, they have

1143
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:28,920
Speaker 1: the toughest opponents to go against in terms of past defense.

1144
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 1: The Bills have the toughest opponents to go against those

1145
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 1: three at Baltimore, Chargers, at Minnesota. The rest of the

1146
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 1: schedule exactly flipped around. They have the easiest past defenses

1147
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 1: they'll face. Do you know what I'm saying? First three

1148
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:42,919
Speaker 1: weeks and this is all based on last year's numbers.

1149
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 1: I get that, and you know how it changes year

1150
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 1: to year, It changes week to week, it changes. But

1151
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:49,919
Speaker 1: if you if you believe in that first three weeks,

1152
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 1: the Bills go against the three those three opponents Aggregant

1153
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 1: adam up, those three opponents are the toughest past defenses

1154
00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 1: in the league compared to every other team in the NFL.

1155
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 1: The rest of the schedule, the Bills go against the

1156
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 1: easiest past defenses in the league. So it's a it's

1157
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 1: a tough road for Nathan Peterman to get through. Does

1158
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 1: that you know? Plus five of the seven on the

1159
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 1: road to begin the season. McDermott kind of dismissed it,

1160
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 1: But is that one of the reasons why they decided

1161
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 1: Peterman instead of Josh Allen. You're sitting because all it now,

1162
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:22,200
Speaker 1: it's all gonna be about Peterman is going to play

1163
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 1: those first three games and then it'll be time to

1164
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 1: change into Josh Allen and ye how it goes. It

1165
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 1: could be. It might be that after one game. You know,

1166
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 1: right as you said that at light switch went off

1167
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,439
Speaker 1: for a huge percentage of Bills fans, they're going, Okay,

1168
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 1: that's perfect, Hey, we'll get you know, Peterman will go

1169
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 1: in there. Yeah, he'll take his lumps and it'll be

1170
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 1: time and then we'll put Josh Allen and he's gonna

1171
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: look great and win. Here we go off to the race.

1172
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:45,919
Speaker 1: You don't know if the lumps are coming, because again

1173
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 1: I do believe it changes year to year. I think

1174
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 1: it changes week to week. But it's worth noting that

1175
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 1: Baltimore Chargers, Minnesota, that's the toughest three teams to go

1176
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 1: against past defense wise in the NFL of any team

1177
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 1: in the NFL from a year ago. Yeah, that's a

1178
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 1: year ago. And you're right. I mean, it does make

1179
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 1: you stop and think about things. But when you really

1180
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 1: put it, get to it. Everything changes, I mean everything changes,

1181
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 1: but there's a lot to be said for it. We'll see.

1182
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 1: I mean that's interesting. Yeah, that's a good nugget there.

1183
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 1: It's a nugget. It's only a nugget, a nugget. Nathan

1184
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 1: Peterman starts on Sunday at Baltimore. What do you think

1185
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:24,880
Speaker 1: about that? What do you think of the Bills overall

1186
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 1: quarterback situation. We'll get back to more phone calls, back

1187

1199
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes sometimes I don't know what I know, but yeah,

1202
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 1: done a lot of games in Baltimore's Great Stadium, and

1203
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 1: it'll be a great scene. It's a really nice organization. Ye,

1204
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 1: A lot of good things that are John Harbaugh is

1205
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 1: a great guy and a really good coach, obviously a

1206
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:45,920
Speaker 1: super Bowl winning coach um and he he runs a

1207
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:52,440
Speaker 1: very very low key, very casual attitude club. I mean

1208
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 1: it's very nobody's ever in a panic or or you know,

1209
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 1: everybody seems very comfortable in the building, but they are

1210
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 1: buttoned up. Yeah, and that's a hard balance to strike.

1211
01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:02,560
Speaker 1: He does a really nice job with it. How do

1212
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 1: you think. I don't want to get off down too

1213
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:06,440
Speaker 1: far on this tangent because we got a lot to

1214
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 1: talk about. But how the Raven's gonna be after as

1215
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 1: he knew some leaves this year. I mean he's gonna

1216
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 1: leave them in good and they have good ownership obviously,

1217
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 1: And I forget the name of his number two, but

1218
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:17,520
Speaker 1: you know, Ozzie Knewson has been one of the premier

1219
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 1: personnel people in the league for decades now. It will

1220
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:23,000
Speaker 1: take I think, given the quality of their organization, how

1221
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 1: they've got things kind of wired, I imagine it will

1222
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 1: take some time before there's some noticeable drop, particularly outside

1223
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:33,480
Speaker 1: the building. Now inside the building, I think some things

1224
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:36,200
Speaker 1: will change, no question about a new leadership always does that, right.

1225
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:39,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd be interested to see what is the

1226
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 1: next guy in there will think he needs to change

1227
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:46,400
Speaker 1: because you know how it is, Murph. New leadership means

1228
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 1: they got to put their thumb print on everything, so

1229
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 1: they change stuff and sometimes it shouldn't be changed, but

1230
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,320
Speaker 1: they feel like they need to. Anyway. I don't know

1231
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 1: how much of that will happen, but there will be

1232
01:02:55,760 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 1: some change over time, no doubt about it. As he

1233
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:05,280
Speaker 1: Knewsome was gifted and as as an executive, as a leader,

1234
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:08,520
Speaker 1: as a football player obviously, and as a talent evaluator.

1235
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 1: He put together a great organization over there and did

1236
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 1: for a long time. He's in the Hall of Fame,

1237
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:14,440
Speaker 1: and he could have gone in the Hall of Fame.

1238
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 1: Thing about it. He went in as a player, he

1239
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 1: could have gone in as an executive. You know, That's

1240
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 1: how good. He's been Eric da Costa is the guy's

1241
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 1: name who would replace as he Knewsome just looked it

1242
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 1: up all right, back to phone called, the Bills made

1243
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 1: a quarterback decision today. Nathan Peterman is going to start

1244
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 1: that game in Baltimore. What do you think? What do

1245
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 1: you think of the Bills quarterback situation? Mark calling from

1246
01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 1: Tanawana to Marco Ahead, you're on the air with us, Hey, guys,

1247
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:38,880
Speaker 1: thanks for having me on. I'd be labor to do both.

1248
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 1: Then yeah, just real quick, I got two. I got

1249
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:44,400
Speaker 1: a question again for Steve. But I think this is

1250
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 1: a perfect situation for the Bills, being that if Peterman

1251
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 1: plays well, you know, hopefully we can get some compensation

1252
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:54,040
Speaker 1: because we all know Amon is our guy, you know,

1253
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:56,680
Speaker 1: and if he lights it up, you know we got

1254
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 1: what a third round to Tyro and this round for mccaren.

1255
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:03,960
Speaker 1: You know, he's value only increased. And then Steve I

1256
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:06,400
Speaker 1: got a question, Um, how much of this might have

1257
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 1: been Alan thinking he's not ready? After that SIT's an

1258
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,280
Speaker 1: anti games He talked about the speed of the game,

1259
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:16,680
Speaker 1: and he just seemed to be m not as constant

1260
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 1: as you want you're starting quarterbacks to feel, you know,

1261
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 1: if would a coach had that conversation with him, like, hey,

1262
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:26,400
Speaker 1: we want you to start. Where's your head at? He

1263
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 1: might have said, you know, they might not have well,

1264
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:31,920
Speaker 1: he might have been real with him and said, you know,

1265
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 1: I don't feel like I'm ready just yet. Well I

1266
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:38,200
Speaker 1: don't think that. No, I mean, I get you. I

1267
01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:41,400
Speaker 1: think that probably was evident in his play that maybe,

1268
01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, maybe at that point he just wasn't ready

1269
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 1: to go in and be the starter. But I don't think.

1270
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:48,520
Speaker 1: I think if you go to Josh Allen, if if

1271
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott didn't have the conversation you're suggesting that he did,

1272
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:55,440
Speaker 1: there's no way Josh Allen didn't say anything but yeah,

1273
01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:57,520
Speaker 1: give me the football. I mean, there's no way he

1274
01:04:57,560 --> 01:04:59,760
Speaker 1: said anything other than that. That's just the way these

1275
01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 1: guys are built and he's no different. So yeah, he

1276
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 1: would have asked for the ball and said, yeah, let

1277
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 1: me in. He would have not maybe known in his

1278
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 1: in his the back of his mind that there were

1279
01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:11,000
Speaker 1: gonna be some things that gave him problems. He was

1280
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:13,160
Speaker 1: gonna struggle at times, but he would want that challenge.

1281
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:15,880
Speaker 1: That's the way these guys play. So no, and while

1282
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:18,920
Speaker 1: it may be true that it might be too big

1283
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen right the moment, at this present moment,

1284
01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:24,000
Speaker 1: it's not gonna stay that way for very long. But

1285
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:27,080
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean he would shy away from it. These

1286
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 1: guys aren't built that way, So I I understand. I

1287
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:36,480
Speaker 1: don't know. Listen, if if Nathan Peterman plays well, you

1288
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 1: know it's gonna get to the point where the moment

1289
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:41,440
Speaker 1: he does anything wrong, people are gonna be clamoring for

1290
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 1: Josh Allen to get his chance. I mean, if Nate

1291
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:46,120
Speaker 1: Peterman plays well enough to keep Josh Allen on the bench,

1292
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 1: you know, why would you get rid of him? You don't.

1293
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 1: That's it's that simple. You don't. And you if you're

1294
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:57,600
Speaker 1: winning games and it's because of your quarterback play, you

1295
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:00,960
Speaker 1: don't change quarterbacks no matter who's on your bench. Let's

1296
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:04,560
Speaker 1: go to Stephen Wheatfield. Hello, Steve, welcome, Hey guys, how

1297
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 1: are you doing today? Good? Um. I'm as comfortable, I

1298
01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:12,080
Speaker 1: guess as can be with the situation. You know, you

1299
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:15,600
Speaker 1: got two young guys there. My concern I would be

1300
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:18,120
Speaker 1: more a little more comfortable with some sort of a

1301
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:22,240
Speaker 1: veteran backup that that's seen things and can you know

1302
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:25,520
Speaker 1: kind of help these guys along. And plus if an

1303
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 1: injury comes along, now you're down to one quarterback. So

1304
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:30,760
Speaker 1: do you see for see them picking up a veteran

1305
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 1: somewhere down the line. I don't know who's out there

1306
01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 1: after the cuts, but um, yeah, that's that's interesting, Steve,

1307
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:39,600
Speaker 1: because yeah, that question was brought up to Sean McDermott

1308
01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 1: at the press conference today and he said, listen, we've

1309
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 1: got our nose to the ear to the ground all

1310
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:47,440
Speaker 1: the time. He's referenced to Brandon Bean being ready for

1311
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 1: that and having got there. There's always a short list

1312
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:53,000
Speaker 1: of guys out there available that that you would bring in,

1313
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:56,440
Speaker 1: as you know, as a second quarterback or back up

1314
01:06:56,520 --> 01:07:00,600
Speaker 1: behind whoever it would be Josh Allen this case, if

1315
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 1: if Nate Peterman got hurt and was out for a week,

1316
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 1: two weeks a month for the rest of the season,

1317
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:08,440
Speaker 1: there's a list of guys they would bring in, absolutely

1318
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 1: no question about it. But they haven't signed anybody yet,

1319
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:15,880
Speaker 1: but if they need to, they've got guys they're gonna

1320
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:18,080
Speaker 1: go to manas team names. Landry Jones was cut by

1321
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 1: the Steelers. They've always kind of thought he was okay

1322
01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:23,560
Speaker 1: former Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones is cut by the Steelers.

1323
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 1: And Tom Savage, who started opening day last year right

1324
01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 1: for Houston. He's available now. He just got cut by

1325
01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 1: the Saints. Look, these are not household names, nor are

1326
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 1: they stars. But there's some capable veteran quarterbacks who are

1327
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:39,760
Speaker 1: out there if the Bills need to pick. Let's face it,

1328
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:44,080
Speaker 1: you're talking Nate Peterman, AJ McCarron and Tom Savage and

1329
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:46,000
Speaker 1: Landry Jones, they all kind of they're all kind of

1330
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:48,240
Speaker 1: that guy, you know. We don't know who they are

1331
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:50,760
Speaker 1: and their skill sets or something we're not familiar with too,

1332
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:53,440
Speaker 1: but we're pretty sure they're not as gifted as you

1333
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:57,480
Speaker 1: know Baker Mayfield, Josh Allen, you know Sam Darnold, some

1334
01:07:57,600 --> 01:08:01,200
Speaker 1: of the other younger quarterbacks that are there. So yeah,

1335
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:03,560
Speaker 1: those are the kind of guys you're looking at when

1336
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:05,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna go out and sign a quarterback at this

1337
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:07,160
Speaker 1: point of the season. Hey, we're gonna take a break

1338
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:08,520
Speaker 1: for the top of the hour, come on back a

1339
01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 1: lot more to discuss. Are you comfortable with the Bill's

Speaker 1: quarterback situation? What did you think of the cuts? Joe

01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:38,720
Speaker 1: Come on back. One Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive

1352
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:53,519
Speaker 1: on Buffalo Bills Radio. Hello, Bills Radio Network story the

1353
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:55,919
Speaker 1: update from One Bill's Drive where the Bills are practicing

1354
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 1: as we speak. Nathan Peterman is the number one quarterback

1355
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:02,120
Speaker 1: to Bills announcing the morning Peterman's been named the starting quarterback.

1356
01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 1: He's earned it, that was the word from head coach

1357
01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:07,439
Speaker 1: On McDermot today. He led the Bills in preseason and

1358

1360
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 1: he did. Nathan Peterman gets to start against the Ravens.

Speaker 1: released by the Patriots in their final cutdowns. He was

1364
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:30,120

Speaker 1: New England, did not see any action at all in preseason.

1377
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:15,080
Speaker 1: of years ago. Initially made the fifty three man roster,

Speaker 1: to in the Raiders front office. He made the announcement yesterday.

1382
01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:30,200
Speaker 1: A day after that big trade. The Saints added a

1383
01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:32,960
Speaker 1: running back, Mike Gillisley, the former Buffalo Bill, signed a

1384

Speaker 1: of players off waivers, and kicker Dan Bailey working out

1388
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:48,640

1389
01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:51,519
Speaker 1: all time kickers for the Dallas Cowboys, was released on Saturday.

1390
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 1: That is the update on a busy day in the NFL.

1391
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:56,639
Speaker 1: This Labor Day. Happy Labor Day everybody, John Murphy, Steve

1392
01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:59,200
Speaker 1: Tasker here until three. Happy Labor Day to our guest

1393
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 1: here in studio. Happy to have Joe by Joe Muscalia

1394
01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:05,240
Speaker 1: from www TV Channel seven in Buffalo joining him in studio.

1395
01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 1: Welcome Joe, Steve. I know Steve double pumps there? Yeah,

1396
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:12,120
Speaker 1: did you get you we were at a practice, Yeah,

1397
01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:14,439
Speaker 1: we were. We just were, Um, we saw the first

1398
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 1: twenty five minutes or so, and it's it's the first

1399
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:20,559
Speaker 1: day back after the big cut. Is always weird going

1400
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:24,560
Speaker 1: out there because it's, like I mentioned, nobody, everybody, like

1401
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 1: even the flip card of itself is like, well, this

1402
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:28,600
Speaker 1: is a lot easier to take a sentence today. What

1403
01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:32,360
Speaker 1: who's starting on opposite Davis White in practice? Yeah, that's

1404
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:34,760
Speaker 1: a great question. I mean they kick you out with Yeah,

1405
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 1: they kick you out before they actually go into team drills.

1406
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:40,960
Speaker 1: But it's not a great sign for Vante Davis that

1407
01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:43,439
Speaker 1: they haven't come out and said, hey, you know, Vante

1408
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:45,479
Speaker 1: is going to be the guy here. Philip Gaines is

1409
01:11:45,479 --> 01:11:49,000
Speaker 1: giving him a legitimate competition here, and nobody was really

1410
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:51,400
Speaker 1: expecting that even maybe two weeks ago with that. Now

1411
01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:55,519
Speaker 1: it's Philip Gaines or and that's it. It's not gonna

1412
01:11:55,560 --> 01:11:59,840
Speaker 1: be hu Taron Johnson, No, Taren is inside. I think

1413
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:02,000
Speaker 1: he's going to be their nickel guy. And that's why

1414
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:03,519
Speaker 1: I asked. I mean, he's good enough to get on

1415
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:05,320
Speaker 1: the field as a starting nickel guy. He's gonna be

1416
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:07,479
Speaker 1: on the field eighty percent of their snaps anyway, right,

1417
01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:11,839
Speaker 1: And and it's also notable that last year, if you remember,

1418
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:14,599
Speaker 1: this is what Sean McDermott did in the first week

1419
01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:16,600
Speaker 1: of the season with Vlad Ducas and John Miller. He

1420
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:18,560
Speaker 1: didn't even announce a starter, even though they were in

1421
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:20,639
Speaker 1: the first game week. He just said, you know, we're

1422
01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:23,320
Speaker 1: still sorting stuff out there, and then he started Miller

1423
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:25,240
Speaker 1: for the first four weeks and then benched him because

1424
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:29,479
Speaker 1: Lad Ducas was ready. So so that I'd been could happen. Yeah,

1425
01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:32,519
Speaker 1: I mean right, right exactly. It was one of those

1426
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 1: positions that can just go up and down all year.

1427
01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:35,760
Speaker 1: There's a lot of stuff going on the first month

1428
01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:37,920
Speaker 1: of the song. Yeah, so yeah, I don't think they'll

1429
01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:39,960
Speaker 1: settle in for a couple of weeks, particularly given all

1430
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:41,960
Speaker 1: the new faces and some of the things that have

1431
01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:44,960
Speaker 1: changed for the important guys that are on the team.

1432
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:48,040
Speaker 1: And forget like that front seven we were talking Trent

1433
01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:51,000
Speaker 1: Murphy hasn't taken a live snap and he's gonna be

1434
01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:53,120
Speaker 1: on the field and play with number one. I think

1435
01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:56,479
Speaker 1: I think he might have gotten like five one on

1436
01:12:56,600 --> 01:13:00,760
Speaker 1: one opportunities and training five of them, though I was

1437
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:02,600
Speaker 1: unbelod I was like, wow, it's gonna be awesome. And

1438
01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 1: then I didn't see him for a month. Right, Well,

1439
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:06,400
Speaker 1: he was out there today, as was Kyle Williams. So

1440
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 1: those are two really good signs moving forward. The fact

1441
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:11,360
Speaker 1: that they could be ready by the time the game.

1442
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:14,840
Speaker 1: Saying about Kyle know nothing about nothing about Kyle, but

1443
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:17,599
Speaker 1: I mean Kyle Williams had a heavy rap on his knee.

1444
01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:20,360
Speaker 1: But when you see that he's out there in shoulder pads,

1445
01:13:20,439 --> 01:13:22,360
Speaker 1: you just think to yourself, there's no way Kyle's missing this,

1446
01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:24,800
Speaker 1: or at the very least, he's going to push them

1447
01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:26,720
Speaker 1: to the point where saying, all right, well, you have

1448
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:28,640
Speaker 1: to tell me I'm not playing, because if it's up

1449
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:30,840
Speaker 1: to me, I'm playing. Are we ready to talk about

1450
01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:36,760
Speaker 1: quarterback now I'm here observations? You buried the lead again.

1451
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:40,439
Speaker 1: You buried the lead, Joe Nathan Peterman starts at quarterback.

1452
01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:42,760
Speaker 1: Your thoughts, Yeah, and what do you think? Give me

1453
01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:45,000
Speaker 1: your thoughts on the whole quarterback picture for the Bills. Also,

1454
01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:47,080
Speaker 1: it was the way it was trending all along. I

1455
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:49,040
Speaker 1: know we talked about it a lot. When when I

1456
01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:52,000
Speaker 1: was here with you last week, Murph, it just felt

1457
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:55,280
Speaker 1: like Peterman was the guy even before that fourth preseason game,

1458
01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:57,479
Speaker 1: and do respect to a. J. McCarron because he got

1459
01:13:57,520 --> 01:13:59,720
Speaker 1: that full game and really had to deal with some

1460
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:02,280
Speaker 1: or blocking in front of him. It just never seemed

1461
01:14:02,320 --> 01:14:04,360
Speaker 1: like he was a part of the race anymore. And

1462
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:10,120
Speaker 1: it was also underscored by the fact that both Peterman

1463
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen were basically given the night off. They

1464
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:15,680
Speaker 1: were part of that big workout group well ahead of

1465
01:14:15,720 --> 01:14:17,920
Speaker 1: the game, and it just seemed like they weren't even

1466
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:20,439
Speaker 1: thinking about using either one of them. So that was

1467
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:23,080
Speaker 1: the writing on the wall. And now Peterman being the guy.

1468
01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:26,240
Speaker 1: If you asked me this this time last week, I

1469
01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:28,840
Speaker 1: would have told you, yeah, it's it's a no doubter.

1470
01:14:29,080 --> 01:14:31,680
Speaker 1: But after hearing what Brandon Bean had to say on

1471
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:34,760
Speaker 1: our pregame show over at Channel seven, it seemed like

1472
01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:36,759
Speaker 1: the door was cracked open a little bit for Allen.

1473
01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:40,320
Speaker 1: He said he has earned he has done enough to

1474
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:43,920
Speaker 1: warrant the opportunity to start, which but he also followed

1475
01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:46,760
Speaker 1: it up by saying he hasn't. He hasn't exactly, It

1476
01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:49,080
Speaker 1: doesn't mean he's going to get that starting job. But

1477
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:51,080
Speaker 1: even when the GM of the team says that you've

1478
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:53,760
Speaker 1: got to think to yourself, are they actually going to

1479
01:14:53,920 --> 01:14:56,760
Speaker 1: start the rookie? But now that Peterman is in fact

1480
01:14:56,800 --> 01:14:59,120
Speaker 1: the starter, I mean it was obvious just from an

1481
01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:01,479
Speaker 1: on field perspective. He's the most in the most control

1482
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:03,519
Speaker 1: of the offense of the two guys there. You can

1483
01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:06,599
Speaker 1: you can tell every single day of practice he had

1484
01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:10,120
Speaker 1: the best accuracy, he was leading his receivers. Every time

1485
01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:12,559
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott talks about him, he complimented him and went

1486
01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:14,280
Speaker 1: out of his way to compliment him. I mean, this

1487
01:15:14,439 --> 01:15:17,560
Speaker 1: is it's very clear that Peterman is a McDermott and

1488
01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:20,400
Speaker 1: a Bean guy, mostly a McDermott guy, and I think

1489
01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:22,920
Speaker 1: he wanted to reward Nathan Peterman for a really good

1490
01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:25,639
Speaker 1: summer of work and the fact that Josh Allen slipped

1491
01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:27,479
Speaker 1: up just a little bit in that third preseason. Next

1492
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:30,040
Speaker 1: question is do you think they bring in a veteran

1493
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:34,080
Speaker 1: quarterback for the room? See, I don't know. They went

1494
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:36,519
Speaker 1: with two last year, and they had the Joe Webb

1495
01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:40,360
Speaker 1: experience I know, and they have Logan Thomas who has

1496
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:43,920
Speaker 1: NFL experience. You don't want to quarterback with Thomas, You're right,

1497
01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:45,840
Speaker 1: But did you want to count on Joe Webb either? No,

1498
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:49,360
Speaker 1: they've done it before. You don't want histories there, guys, Guys,

1499
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:53,400
Speaker 1: you can't count on an emergency quarterback to do anything

1500
01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:56,760
Speaker 1: except handed all the emergency quarterback you're loos fleeted the

1501
01:15:56,840 --> 01:15:59,439
Speaker 1: pass in the snow game to get them a playoff,

1502
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:03,080
Speaker 1: potential playoff clinching victory. You're losing the game. If your

1503
01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:06,240
Speaker 1: emergency quarterback gets in the game and we got away

1504
01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:09,080
Speaker 1: the Bills die away with one. You're not yes, but

1505
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 1: forget it. It's not I'm not counting on. The question

1506
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:16,720
Speaker 1: is do you bring in a guy with some experience

1507
01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:18,800
Speaker 1: to get in the room. It'll take him a month

1508
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:22,240
Speaker 1: even to learn the verbiage, but he will know how

1509
01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:24,560
Speaker 1: to go through a film session in the priests, you know,

1510
01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 1: in the games and the weeks leading up, he'll you know,

1511
01:16:28,439 --> 01:16:30,400
Speaker 1: maybe do they do that? Maybe? And if they do,

1512
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:32,080
Speaker 1: I don't think that. If they do, who do they

1513
01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:34,679
Speaker 1: which spot on the rosters? The first one at Jettison

1514
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:37,640
Speaker 1: that's the big question. Well, they carried six corners, so

1515
01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:40,360
Speaker 1: maybe a corner because they feel coming when they sort

1516
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:44,599
Speaker 1: Vante Davis out, maybe or if they sit there and say,

1517
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:46,960
Speaker 1: all right, Ryan Lewis is coming coming on as a

1518
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:49,559
Speaker 1: special teams player. Maybe they could do it with Lafayette Pitts.

1519
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:52,599
Speaker 1: I think that's probably the spot that we're talking about.

1520
01:16:52,600 --> 01:16:55,000
Speaker 1: The rest of the spots seem like they're all pretty

1521
01:16:55,080 --> 01:16:58,519
Speaker 1: well established. Maybe a receiver, but I would doubt it

1522
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:00,559
Speaker 1: because I don't think they want to subject Robert Foster

1523
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:02,240
Speaker 1: to waivers, which is probably why he made the team

1524
01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:04,679
Speaker 1: in the first place. But I just don't I don't

1525
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:06,599
Speaker 1: see it right now. I don't think there's a really

1526
01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:09,360
Speaker 1: big push for them to do it unless there's an

1527
01:17:09,400 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 1: absolute emergency where Peterman gets hurt. We were talking to.

1528
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:14,160
Speaker 1: I mean, the names you're looking at were, you know,

1529
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 1: Landry Jones and guys savages. I'm good in the world,

1530
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:20,320
Speaker 1: so yeah, I'm right. I mean, it's not gonna no thanks,

1531
01:17:20,439 --> 01:17:22,360
Speaker 1: that's not They're not even a They're not even a

1532
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 1: bump on the radar, blip on the radar. So I

1533
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:26,000
Speaker 1: agree with you. I mean, if they're gonna go go,

1534
01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:29,479
Speaker 1: let's see. Joba Scalia's from www TV channel seven and

1535
01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:31,479
Speaker 1: Buffalo was with us before we get to the roster

1536
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:33,160
Speaker 1: and what went on over the weekend. Joe just and

1537
01:17:33,280 --> 01:17:35,640
Speaker 1: this is the question we're asking folks on Twitter and

1538
01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:38,599
Speaker 1: on the phone lines. Are you comfortable? Are you comfortable

1539
01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 1: or let me put it to you, should fans be

1540
01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:43,840
Speaker 1: comfortable about what the Bill's quarterback situation is right now

1541
01:17:44,320 --> 01:17:47,760
Speaker 1: with those two who they are, with Nathan starting, well,

1542
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:49,760
Speaker 1: it's a bit of a risk. I think if you're

1543
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:55,360
Speaker 1: comfortable with having if you're comfortable with finger quotes, the

1544
01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:58,479
Speaker 1: process and the decisions that Sean McDermott and Brandon Bean

1545
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:01,160
Speaker 1: have made to this point, I think that's the faith

1546
01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:03,840
Speaker 1: that you draw. But if you are not confident in that,

1547
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:07,679
Speaker 1: then I guess you could be wavering from one second

1548
01:18:07,680 --> 01:18:11,080
Speaker 1: to the next. This is not an ideal scenario. And

1549
01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:14,320
Speaker 1: the fact that they usually value experience and they are

1550
01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:19,600
Speaker 1: they quite possibly have the least experienced quarterback tandem in

1551
01:18:19,720 --> 01:18:22,000
Speaker 1: the league. They probably do, I don't. I don't know

1552
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:24,920
Speaker 1: if there's another one out there would be. I mean

1553
01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:27,000
Speaker 1: two starts between the two of them, that that's it,

1554
01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:30,400
Speaker 1: and one of the starts was a half because Peterman

1555
01:18:30,479 --> 01:18:34,280
Speaker 1: got hurt in the snow game. So I guess the

1556
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:37,640
Speaker 1: best thing I can say is their potential is a

1557
01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:41,400
Speaker 1: lot greater than some quarterback positions around the league. Unknown

1558
01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:43,920
Speaker 1: doesn't mean potential, sure, it does mean that's what I mean.

1559
01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:45,840
Speaker 1: It is. I mean Peterman has potential to be a

1560
01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:48,760
Speaker 1: lot better than he exhibited last year, and he is better,

1561
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:51,880
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen has the potential to take over the

1562
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:54,240
Speaker 1: starting job at some point in the twenty eighteen season

1563
01:18:54,320 --> 01:18:56,880
Speaker 1: and make Bill's fans think to themselves, all right, maybe

1564
01:18:56,920 --> 01:18:58,439
Speaker 1: they got this thing right. Let me tell you this.

1565
01:18:58,680 --> 01:19:00,679
Speaker 1: Let me throw this into your little and this little

1566
01:19:00,720 --> 01:19:03,040
Speaker 1: wrench or this pebble into the pond of your thinking.

1567
01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:05,400
Speaker 1: Murph came up with a nugget a little while ago,

1568
01:19:05,600 --> 01:19:07,439
Speaker 1: and is said. The first three games of the season,

1569
01:19:07,479 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 1: the Bills are against the best past defenses in the

1570
01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:13,800
Speaker 1: NFL next year base last year's number top three. You know, Baltimore,

1571
01:19:14,360 --> 01:19:17,959
Speaker 1: the Chargers, and Minnesota were the top three pass defenses

1572
01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:20,879
Speaker 1: in the NFL last year. The rest of the thirteen

1573
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:24,639
Speaker 1: games is the easiest past defense roster in the NFL,

1574
01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:27,720
Speaker 1: because in remaining schedule for anybody in the league, the

1575
01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:30,880
Speaker 1: Bills face the easiest past defenses from a year ago

1576
01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:36,040
Speaker 1: their final thirteen games. So is that the line of demarcation?

1577
01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:38,760
Speaker 1: I think. I think mid October is probably the time

1578
01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:41,200
Speaker 1: when when I would tend to think, all right, if

1579
01:19:41,240 --> 01:19:44,439
Speaker 1: it hasn't happened yet, then Josh Allen is because I

1580
01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:46,479
Speaker 1: don't know that they're just gonna throw Peterman out to

1581
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:48,200
Speaker 1: the wolves and then rip them out there as soon

1582
01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:50,519
Speaker 1: as they're through through the fire of the first three.

1583
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:52,040
Speaker 1: They're not going to do that because they've shown that

1584
01:19:52,640 --> 01:19:54,519
Speaker 1: you get what you earn, right, if you play well,

1585
01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:56,360
Speaker 1: I have staying there, You're gonna stay no matter who

1586
01:19:56,520 --> 01:19:58,599
Speaker 1: is behind you. I think. I think that's what they're

1587
01:19:58,600 --> 01:20:00,680
Speaker 1: gonna do. But what they've set themselves up for, and

1588
01:20:01,320 --> 01:20:04,920
Speaker 1: based on what I said that being told Channel seven

1589
01:20:05,040 --> 01:20:08,040
Speaker 1: on the pregame show, and in addition to what McDermott

1590
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:11,880
Speaker 1: said again today saying that Josh is on schedule, you

1591
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:14,439
Speaker 1: know that that could mean that's what I wanted to

1592
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:18,240
Speaker 1: many different things, and he said that almost unsolicitedly. He

1593
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:20,680
Speaker 1: did say it. I'm solicited, He's on, He's listen, he's on.

1594
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:23,519
Speaker 1: And I was like, right, well, so all that they

1595
01:20:23,560 --> 01:20:26,040
Speaker 1: can I have a copy of the schedule, right. All

1596
01:20:26,120 --> 01:20:29,360
Speaker 1: that all that they've done is kept the door open,

1597
01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:33,400
Speaker 1: and the fact that the microscope on Peterman now is

1598
01:20:33,479 --> 01:20:37,439
Speaker 1: going to be intensified because if in fact that Josh

1599
01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:41,720
Speaker 1: Allen is ready in their eyes or you know, has

1600
01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:44,759
Speaker 1: done enough to warrant the opportunity to start. As Brandon

1601
01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:48,760
Speaker 1: Bean said to me, then if Peterman screws up for

1602
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:50,719
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks in a row, is the Josh

1603
01:20:50,760 --> 01:20:53,840
Speaker 1: Allen era starting? I mean schedule out there. The microscope

1604
01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:57,320
Speaker 1: is on Peterman. And you know, we we got to

1605
01:20:57,400 --> 01:21:00,360
Speaker 1: this point where like, all right, they find only named

1606
01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:03,120
Speaker 1: a quarterback. Everybody breathe, No, don't breathe, because this is

1607
01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:05,519
Speaker 1: gonna be how this goes until Josh Allen is the

1608
01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:07,760
Speaker 1: starter for the Buffalo Bills. Joe Scottia, Joe b is

1609
01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:09,760
Speaker 1: with us sinsudo for the next couple of minutes or so.

1610
01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:11,840
Speaker 1: You're welcome to join us. Let's go through the weekend, Joe,

1611
01:21:11,880 --> 01:21:13,640
Speaker 1: and let's start with Saturday and Steve. You two, we

1612
01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:15,599
Speaker 1: have you and I haven't really talked about the cuts.

1613
01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:19,400
Speaker 1: Thirty thirty four moves made, plus the trade of mccaron

1614
01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:22,639
Speaker 1: on Saturday, some of the more important ones. Corey Coleman

1615
01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:25,120
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire from the Bills. No surprise, right, No,

1616
01:21:26,160 --> 01:21:28,439
Speaker 1: figured he'd be there. It's it's unfortunate. And plus I

1617
01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:30,240
Speaker 1: would give the Bills credit for this. They gave him

1618
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:33,200
Speaker 1: every chance to show why he should stay, and he

1619
01:21:33,280 --> 01:21:35,679
Speaker 1: just never did it. Well. Look, they gave him lots

1620
01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:38,800
Speaker 1: of targets in the preseason over three separate games, and

1621
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:42,439
Speaker 1: I think he had three catches for seven yards over

1622
01:21:42,560 --> 01:21:44,080
Speaker 1: that time. You can look it up and correct me

1623
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:46,320
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. But he also had another three targets

1624
01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:49,240
Speaker 1: in the Bears preseason game and I don't remember him

1625
01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:51,680
Speaker 1: catching a pass. If he did, then it was it

1626
01:21:51,760 --> 01:21:54,800
Speaker 1: was a very short one. But all in all, Corey

1627
01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:57,200
Speaker 1: Coleman just didn't do enough to warrant a roster spot.

1628
01:21:57,439 --> 01:22:00,559
Speaker 1: And when you pit him up against someone that they've

1629
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:03,840
Speaker 1: believed in throughout the summer and have seen a player

1630
01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:06,439
Speaker 1: like Robert Foster go up and down and then he

1631
01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:08,679
Speaker 1: makes a flash play near the end of the preseason

1632
01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:12,120
Speaker 1: game with a touchdown, they're probably thinking to themselves, Look,

1633
01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:14,640
Speaker 1: we can put this guy on waivers and see if

1634
01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:17,240
Speaker 1: we can sneak him through, but there's no guarantee and

1635
01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:18,680
Speaker 1: if we really like him, we might just have to

1636
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:21,320
Speaker 1: bite the bullet and kid ye. Robert Foster is a guy,

1637
01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:23,479
Speaker 1: a young guy, first year out, all right, and zekle

1638
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:26,599
Speaker 1: he ran this offense last year, parts of it at

1639
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:29,519
Speaker 1: Alabama and when you see a kid like Foster come

1640
01:22:29,560 --> 01:22:33,280
Speaker 1: out and this is this is a roster, this is

1641
01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:36,680
Speaker 1: a culture fit. Robert Foster is a kid who has

1642
01:22:36,720 --> 01:22:38,680
Speaker 1: worked very hard and he's trying to get better, and

1643
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:41,479
Speaker 1: he seems to be getting better. Corey Coleman is just

1644
01:22:41,600 --> 01:22:43,720
Speaker 1: the opposite of that guy who is the same guy

1645
01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:47,599
Speaker 1: today that he was two or three years ago when

1646
01:22:47,640 --> 01:22:49,600
Speaker 1: he was drafted by a different team. He's just he

1647
01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:52,720
Speaker 1: hasn't gotten any better. He's the same guy when the

1648
01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:55,160
Speaker 1: Bills cut him as he was when when the Browns

1649
01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:57,640
Speaker 1: drafted him as an unproven rookie, even though he's a

1650
01:22:57,680 --> 01:23:00,800
Speaker 1: first round talent. You know, he's a guy that hasn't

1651
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:04,080
Speaker 1: gotten better, right, And Robert Foster has gotten better and

1652
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:07,839
Speaker 1: better and better and now getting more and more even consistent.

1653
01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:12,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's why Foster's on the roster and Coleman's no. Yeah,

1654
01:23:12,840 --> 01:23:14,960
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you this. I mean, his foster spot

1655
01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:17,040
Speaker 1: is not guaranteed for the season either. I mean he's

1656
01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:20,120
Speaker 1: going to have to prove himself on special teams specifically,

1657
01:23:20,280 --> 01:23:23,000
Speaker 1: he's got to contribute, right, And I noticed just out

1658
01:23:23,040 --> 01:23:25,760
Speaker 1: of practice today they had two little subgroups while they

1659
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:29,240
Speaker 1: were going through individual drills working on special team shrills,

1660
01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:32,320
Speaker 1: and Foster was among them with the likes of sarand

1661
01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:36,519
Speaker 1: Neil and Logan Thomas and Jason Krum were over in

1662
01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 1: another subspecial teams group. So this is going to be

1663
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:43,320
Speaker 1: something that they have to hone in with him. And

1664
01:23:43,439 --> 01:23:46,000
Speaker 1: if he can't play special teams, then he can't be

1665
01:23:46,120 --> 01:23:48,240
Speaker 1: on the field. They can't dress him on game day,

1666
01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:50,519
Speaker 1: which they're going to have to this first week because

1667
01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:52,439
Speaker 1: you would expect that ray Ray McCloud is probably not

1668
01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:55,439
Speaker 1: going to play. So I think for them they have

1669
01:23:55,560 --> 01:23:57,160
Speaker 1: to see that from him, and if they don't, then

1670
01:23:57,320 --> 01:23:59,280
Speaker 1: they might have to look elsewhere. So this is a

1671
01:23:59,439 --> 01:24:01,680
Speaker 1: very important month for him or next few weeks, which

1672
01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:04,240
Speaker 1: should say. Niko leary released by the Bills on Saturday,

1673
01:24:04,280 --> 01:24:06,640
Speaker 1: which I'm sure was a difficult move for McDermott in

1674
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:11,760
Speaker 1: discourage he set because O'Leary was reliable, dependable, wasn't spectacular,

1675
01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:14,400
Speaker 1: but a good, steady, solid player. They opted to go

1676
01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:17,519
Speaker 1: younger and to go maybe more potential there. Yes, and

1677
01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:21,000
Speaker 1: I think the fact that they had two things that

1678
01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:24,360
Speaker 1: Nico Leary was kind of here for last year in

1679
01:24:24,479 --> 01:24:27,759
Speaker 1: both Kary Lee and Jason Krum that's inevitably what pushed

1680
01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:30,640
Speaker 1: him aside. I also don't want to throw off the

1681
01:24:30,720 --> 01:24:32,800
Speaker 1: idea that Logan Thomas might have been kept because of

1682
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:35,320
Speaker 1: the emergency QB status. Yeah, I mean, I mean you

1683
01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:38,519
Speaker 1: have to have Well, he's done a bunch too. He's

1684
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:41,519
Speaker 1: improved as a blocker as well. But the big thing

1685
01:24:41,640 --> 01:24:44,400
Speaker 1: here is of why Nico Leary is now a free

1686
01:24:44,439 --> 01:24:48,759
Speaker 1: agent is because Cary Lee came in and was showed

1687
01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:51,000
Speaker 1: he was a great blocker like he did last year,

1688
01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:53,360
Speaker 1: and then also showed he could actually make some plays

1689
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:56,479
Speaker 1: down the field. Jason Crum came in and showed he

1690
01:24:56,720 --> 01:24:59,840
Speaker 1: was a move sort of tight end, and that is

1691
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:02,280
Speaker 1: something the Bills just didn't have on the roster. So

1692
01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:04,840
Speaker 1: when you have those two guys with that differing skills,

1693
01:25:04,880 --> 01:25:06,400
Speaker 1: and you have Nico Leary, who is a guy that

1694
01:25:06,520 --> 01:25:09,720
Speaker 1: can do a little bit of everything but doesn't particularly

1695
01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:14,439
Speaker 1: shine in one, I mean he's solid enough, but I

1696
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:17,040
Speaker 1: just don't know that there's enough there to warrant keeping

1697
01:25:17,439 --> 01:25:19,920
Speaker 1: over the likes of those other three guys. To some

1698
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:23,880
Speaker 1: of the releases or guys who have flash and looked

1699
01:25:23,920 --> 01:25:26,040
Speaker 1: like wow, this they might have found something here. Guys

1700
01:25:26,240 --> 01:25:30,320
Speaker 1: like Rod Street and O'Leary and Cadet Terrence today played

1701
01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:33,120
Speaker 1: really pretty well At times during the preseason. I thought, Wow,

1702
01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:35,240
Speaker 1: there's a guy who's going to find a spot. And

1703
01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:37,320
Speaker 1: of course Brandon Rodley from a year ago, who really

1704
01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:39,080
Speaker 1: never was able to match the production he had a

1705
01:25:39,160 --> 01:25:41,800
Speaker 1: year ago in the preseason, guys that at one point

1706
01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:43,519
Speaker 1: for the team. I was just thinking a year ago

1707
01:25:43,560 --> 01:25:46,240
Speaker 1: when Riley was cut by the Bills, there were rioters

1708
01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:48,400
Speaker 1: on the parking lot getting ready to burn this place. No,

1709
01:25:48,560 --> 01:25:50,559
Speaker 1: not really, but he was. He was the people's choice

1710
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:52,800
Speaker 1: a year ago. Oh, those people are still out there, man.

1711
01:25:53,040 --> 01:25:55,479
Speaker 1: I mean, you can check my mentions on Twitter. I mean,

1712
01:25:55,960 --> 01:25:58,000
Speaker 1: why would they caught Riley? What are you talking about it?

1713
01:25:58,479 --> 01:26:00,360
Speaker 1: It's just the way. That's the way it is. And

1714
01:26:00,600 --> 01:26:02,920
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. Some of it has to do

1715
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:06,000
Speaker 1: with his wide receiver stuff, and some of it has

1716
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:08,880
Speaker 1: to do with his special team stuff. Because he's gonna

1717
01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:10,280
Speaker 1: be a guy. He would have been a guy like

1718
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:13,560
Speaker 1: a Robert Foster or somebody down the line who is

1719
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:16,479
Speaker 1: gonna have to contribute on special teams. And while he

1720
01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:20,439
Speaker 1: played some on special teams in the preseason, wasn't quite

1721
01:26:21,320 --> 01:26:22,960
Speaker 1: what they were looking for. Right, and just he just

1722
01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:25,560
Speaker 1: didn't contributed enough. Yeah, exactly right. And I mean he

1723
01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:28,720
Speaker 1: did make the one special teams tackle. I think it

1724
01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:30,840
Speaker 1: was on a kickoff against the Bears. He did that

1725
01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:33,200
Speaker 1: a year ago as well. Right, But it's it's a

1726
01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:35,360
Speaker 1: body of work in all of this. It's it's about

1727
01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:39,040
Speaker 1: potential that we're talking about, and Foster has that over Brandon. Right,

1728
01:26:39,080 --> 01:26:41,240
Speaker 1: So you're not going to keep a Brandon Riley, even

1729
01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:42,800
Speaker 1: on the practice squad. You're not going to keep a

1730
01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:45,599
Speaker 1: Brandon Riley over a camp Phillips. Camp Phillips I thought

1731
01:26:45,640 --> 01:26:47,880
Speaker 1: played better than Brandon Riley. Al treating him he did,

1732
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:50,120
Speaker 1: I thought he and the fact that he got injured

1733
01:26:50,320 --> 01:26:52,960
Speaker 1: maybe stole stole his chance to actually make the fifty

1734
01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:55,479
Speaker 1: three man roster. But I'll take camp Phillips over Brandon

1735
01:26:55,560 --> 01:26:57,679
Speaker 1: Riley every day. Joe b is with us, Job Scotty

1736
01:26:57,720 --> 01:27:00,280
Speaker 1: were going down the roster in the weekend moves. Yes, today,

1737
01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:04,040
Speaker 1: a couple of interesting waiver claims from the Patriots waiver wire.

1738
01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:07,439
Speaker 1: The Bills swapped out punters Corey Bjrkez is now a

1739
01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:11,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill, a rookie from New Mexico, undrafted rookie who

1740
01:27:11,040 --> 01:27:12,920
Speaker 1: was in camp with the Patriots and never punted in

1741
01:27:12,960 --> 01:27:16,240
Speaker 1: a preseason game, and then Bill said goodbye to Colton Schmidt,

1742
01:27:16,240 --> 01:27:17,640
Speaker 1: who'd been here for a couple of years. What do

1743
01:27:17,680 --> 01:27:19,599
Speaker 1: you make of that move, Joe, That's a head scratcher

1744
01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:21,800
Speaker 1: for a lot of folks. Yeah, but it's one that

1745
01:27:21,840 --> 01:27:24,080
Speaker 1: they've been actively trying to do for a while now.

1746
01:27:24,280 --> 01:27:29,720
Speaker 1: I think it was not talked about much during training camp,

1747
01:27:29,800 --> 01:27:31,920
Speaker 1: but I think Corey Carter had a very real chance

1748
01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:34,599
Speaker 1: to win the punting job over Colton Schmidt. And if

1749
01:27:34,640 --> 01:27:38,040
Speaker 1: it had not been for that terrible injury against Cleveland

1750
01:27:38,120 --> 01:27:40,680
Speaker 1: where his leg came down on a player, I mean,

1751
01:27:41,040 --> 01:27:43,240
Speaker 1: I think he would probably be the punter right now

1752
01:27:43,280 --> 01:27:45,880
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. And then they tried John Ryan, gave him

1753
01:27:45,920 --> 01:27:48,400
Speaker 1: a legitimate look at it, he didn't play well enough

1754
01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:50,519
Speaker 1: to beat out Colton Schmidt. So then they go with

1755
01:27:51,360 --> 01:27:54,800
Speaker 1: again potential. Because this new punter that they brought in,

1756
01:27:54,920 --> 01:27:58,840
Speaker 1: the Patriots purposely did not have him punt once in

1757
01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:01,679
Speaker 1: the preseason so as to stash him because their current

1758
01:28:01,720 --> 01:28:05,040
Speaker 1: punter is in the final year of his contract, So

1759
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:07,439
Speaker 1: that is why they were trying to sneak him on there.

1760
01:28:07,600 --> 01:28:09,880
Speaker 1: Very very a savvy move by the Patriots, but it

1761
01:28:09,920 --> 01:28:11,960
Speaker 1: didn't work. He's got a big leg. He doesn't and

1762
01:28:12,040 --> 01:28:14,120
Speaker 1: I was watching him a few times out there just now.

1763
01:28:14,200 --> 01:28:16,519
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he can boom him. The only question

1764
01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:19,439
Speaker 1: for this, and far be it from me to belittle

1765
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:21,320
Speaker 1: the position, but it's, you know, he's it's not like

1766
01:28:21,439 --> 01:28:23,360
Speaker 1: he has to take snaps and read defenses, you know,

1767
01:28:23,479 --> 01:28:25,280
Speaker 1: So it's not it's I don't think it'll be. It's

1768
01:28:25,280 --> 01:28:27,559
Speaker 1: a point where for a kid who played in at

1769
01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:30,320
Speaker 1: a college like New Mexico State, it's not gonna be

1770
01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:31,720
Speaker 1: too big for him to go out there, catch a

1771
01:28:31,760 --> 01:28:33,880
Speaker 1: snap and kick it. And he's a lefty too, which

1772
01:28:33,920 --> 01:28:37,519
Speaker 1: is interesting. That's yeah, well that's that's gonna be weird

1773
01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:39,880
Speaker 1: for the return guys. But you would know more than yeah.

1774
01:28:39,920 --> 01:28:42,280
Speaker 1: But uh, and it's an advantage, believe me. It's hard

1775
01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:45,519
Speaker 1: to catch the spinning, backward spinning punt. Many Bills fans

1776
01:28:45,520 --> 01:28:47,400
Speaker 1: asking him what was wrong with Colton Schmidt, and the

1777
01:28:47,479 --> 01:28:51,760
Speaker 1: best answer I can come up with is inconsistency. Yeah, perfect, yep,

1778
01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:54,800
Speaker 1: he just didn't have it on a regular basis all

1779
01:28:54,840 --> 01:28:56,360
Speaker 1: the time. You could depend on He's going to get

1780
01:28:56,439 --> 01:28:58,800
Speaker 1: us out of this. The same reason Thursday night. Yeah,

1781
01:28:58,840 --> 01:29:01,280
Speaker 1: he was a he's a super nice guy and everything

1782
01:29:01,360 --> 01:29:03,519
Speaker 1: like that. He has good, good locker room fit. It's

1783
01:29:03,560 --> 01:29:06,800
Speaker 1: just sometimes he booms him and sometimes you're like, dude,

1784
01:29:06,880 --> 01:29:09,280
Speaker 1: what bad? What happened there? And you can't have that

1785
01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:11,200
Speaker 1: as a pupper because there's only thirty two jobs of

1786
01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:13,720
Speaker 1: those guys. Plus you only get three or four or five,

1787
01:29:14,320 --> 01:29:16,760
Speaker 1: you know, less than ten opportunities a game. You got

1788
01:29:16,880 --> 01:29:21,200
Speaker 1: to be consistent. Yeah, you can't have six good ones

1789
01:29:21,240 --> 01:29:24,360
Speaker 1: in three. Yeah, you know, and because the ant ones

1790
01:29:24,439 --> 01:29:26,320
Speaker 1: might come at fourth quarter when you need a big one.

1791
01:29:26,360 --> 01:29:27,800
Speaker 1: You know, you've got to have a guy that you

1792
01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:30,000
Speaker 1: know you're gonna get certain stuff out of him. And

1793
01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:33,280
Speaker 1: that's what he was. It got, it got worse and worse,

1794
01:29:33,560 --> 01:29:35,640
Speaker 1: as I mean last year you saw splash level once

1795
01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:38,000
Speaker 1: in a while where he'd get one off the side

1796
01:29:38,040 --> 01:29:39,559
Speaker 1: of his foot and he'd go hard right, and then

1797
01:29:39,600 --> 01:29:42,280
Speaker 1: the other one he'd helicopter left. You can't do that.

1798
01:29:42,439 --> 01:29:44,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna need to get the new guy into the

1799
01:29:44,240 --> 01:29:47,040
Speaker 1: stadium though, because the winds in there are weird and

1800
01:29:47,120 --> 01:29:48,760
Speaker 1: it takes it takes a while to it. John Windy

1801
01:29:48,800 --> 01:29:50,960
Speaker 1: today in practice field. Yeah, he's left foot or so

1802
01:29:50,960 --> 01:29:54,360
Speaker 1: it'll be different, but it's it's weird. It's weird though

1803
01:29:54,439 --> 01:29:57,160
Speaker 1: at the at the field level inside that stadium because

1804
01:29:57,200 --> 01:30:00,120
Speaker 1: the wind kind of swirls in one specific corner of

1805
01:30:00,200 --> 01:30:02,760
Speaker 1: the field. I talked to Schmidt about this, I think

1806
01:30:02,760 --> 01:30:08,200
Speaker 1: two or three years ago, and it's it's legit. You've yeah, yeah, exactly, Yeah,

1807
01:30:08,600 --> 01:30:10,840
Speaker 1: I know those things. Joe Pascali is in the studio

1808
01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:12,640
Speaker 1: with us. Take a couple of phone calls on the

1809
01:30:12,720 --> 01:30:15,840
Speaker 1: roster on the quarterbacks. Randy from Georgia, Go ahead, and Randy,

1810
01:30:15,880 --> 01:30:22,000
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. Hey, Steve, Hey Pasker. Uh my question,

1811
01:30:22,280 --> 01:30:26,200
Speaker 1: I got a couple. The question number one is we

1812
01:30:26,240 --> 01:30:28,679
Speaker 1: wouldn't have made the playoffs as that wasn't for Nathan

1813
01:30:28,720 --> 01:30:31,080
Speaker 1: Peterman and that snow game against the Colts. If we

1814
01:30:31,160 --> 01:30:34,280
Speaker 1: were lost that, we've been out of the playoffs. And

1815
01:30:35,080 --> 01:30:38,040
Speaker 1: everybody talks about how Tyrod Teller took us to the playoffs,

1816
01:30:38,120 --> 01:30:41,400
Speaker 1: but actually, yeah, he had a big role in it.

1817
01:30:41,560 --> 01:30:44,759
Speaker 1: But if it wasn't for that snow game, we wouldn't

1818
01:30:44,800 --> 01:30:48,360
Speaker 1: got to the playoffs. If Peterman loved it off. Yeah,

1819
01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:50,519
Speaker 1: they need every need, every one of those Yeah, Randy,

1820
01:30:50,600 --> 01:30:52,680
Speaker 1: believe me, every there was fifty three guys who had

1821
01:30:52,680 --> 01:30:54,599
Speaker 1: a hand in getting the bills of the playoffs last year.

1822
01:30:54,640 --> 01:30:56,280
Speaker 1: I mean it was it was a total team effort,

1823
01:30:56,320 --> 01:30:59,400
Speaker 1: and whatever Peterman did for the team was was important.

1824
01:31:01,120 --> 01:31:02,840
Speaker 1: They all they all had a hand in it. Though,

1825
01:31:03,200 --> 01:31:06,639
Speaker 1: go ahead, what else I understand. I understand they all

1826
01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:10,320
Speaker 1: had a hand in it. But yet it wasn't Tyrod Tellers.

1827
01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:13,960
Speaker 1: If we wouldn't all the players, if we wouldn't have

1828
01:31:13,960 --> 01:31:17,479
Speaker 1: won that game. And but Peterman was the quarterback for

1829
01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:19,720
Speaker 1: the for the first half into the third quarter. Yes,

1830
01:31:19,800 --> 01:31:23,800
Speaker 1: what's your other point? My other point is is I

1831
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:27,280
Speaker 1: like how they're gonna set Josh Allen because I do

1832
01:31:27,439 --> 01:31:29,559
Speaker 1: like Josh Allen, but I also liked Peterman. When they

1833
01:31:29,640 --> 01:31:33,280
Speaker 1: drafted Peterman, I mean I thought he was outstanding. He

1834
01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:35,479
Speaker 1: just needs another chance. And they threw him into a

1835
01:31:35,560 --> 01:31:38,400
Speaker 1: game to where look at some of the other rookie

1836
01:31:38,479 --> 01:31:40,680
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that spend in the league for two years and

1837
01:31:40,800 --> 01:31:43,160
Speaker 1: there they were drafted in the first round and stuff.

1838
01:31:43,720 --> 01:31:45,760
Speaker 1: Last year what I can't think of his name, but

1839
01:31:46,200 --> 01:31:51,280
Speaker 1: Mariota or whatever, Marcus Mariota. Yeah, since through five interceptions

1840
01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:55,040
Speaker 1: in one game and nobody ever talks about that. And

1841
01:31:56,240 --> 01:31:58,400
Speaker 1: I think the Bills are gonna at least win eleven

1842
01:31:58,479 --> 01:32:00,360
Speaker 1: games this year. I'm a true fan. I've been a

1843
01:32:00,400 --> 01:32:04,960
Speaker 1: fan from Elseville, New York. I live down here now. Yeah,

1844
01:32:05,600 --> 01:32:09,040
Speaker 1: everybody knows me because of my trucks and stuff and Steed.

1845
01:32:09,600 --> 01:32:11,840
Speaker 1: I live on a golf course tool right now where

1846
01:32:12,439 --> 01:32:15,240
Speaker 1: I sat there and watch him play Go. I live

1847
01:32:15,320 --> 01:32:17,000
Speaker 1: on the sixth hole. Come on up here and watched

1848
01:32:17,040 --> 01:32:20,639

01:32:28,160 --> 01:32:30,280

01:32:30,320 --> 01:32:33,599
Speaker 1: but over the nest right right timing tonight's I went

1860
01:32:50,200 --> 01:32:53,080

01:32:53,160 --> 01:32:56,360
Speaker 1: open on Shallon and why this isn't over just yet.

1867
01:33:11,760 --> 01:33:14,240
Speaker 1: back One Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive on Buffalo

1868
01:33:14,360 --> 01:33:32,200
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. Welcome back to One Bill's Live. No days

1869
01:33:32,240 --> 01:33:35,160
Speaker 1: off here at One Bill's Live. It is Labor Day

1870
01:33:35,240 --> 01:33:37,320
Speaker 1: and we are working on Labor Day because it's a

1871
01:33:37,360 --> 01:33:40,680
Speaker 1: big day here practice just wrapping up outside in the sunshine,

1872
01:33:40,720 --> 01:33:43,280
Speaker 1: warm temper shoes there and Logan Thomas are going to

1873
01:33:43,400 --> 01:33:45,880
Speaker 1: join us. Bill's tight end. Who is on the fifty

1874
01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:49,280
Speaker 1: three man roster as we speak. The roster took shape

1875
01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:51,920
Speaker 1: over the weekend and uh and included the move today

1876
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:54,280
Speaker 1: Nathan peterm is going to start a quarterback against Baltimore.

1877
01:33:54,680 --> 01:33:57,400
Speaker 1: We went through quickly with Joe. Any of the transactions

1878
01:33:57,479 --> 01:34:00,360
Speaker 1: that the cuts surprise you on Saturday. So whenever they

1879
01:34:00,360 --> 01:34:03,639
Speaker 1: cut familiar names, you know, it kind of raises your eyebrows,

1880
01:34:03,680 --> 01:34:07,040
Speaker 1: a Rod Streeter, Nico Leary, and Travers Cadet, you know

1881
01:34:07,120 --> 01:34:09,280
Speaker 1: head that list. I thought Terrence Fadey, who is a

1882
01:34:09,400 --> 01:34:14,080
Speaker 1: veteran defensive lineman, played pretty well this preseason, and of

1883
01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:16,800
Speaker 1: course Colton Schmidt I think caught a few people off

1884
01:34:16,840 --> 01:34:19,680
Speaker 1: cause that's an eyebrow raiser because they brought, you know,

1885
01:34:19,760 --> 01:34:23,360
Speaker 1: two guys in to try and take that job John

1886
01:34:23,479 --> 01:34:27,560
Speaker 1: Ryan and uh yeah, there's no question. I think that

1887
01:34:27,800 --> 01:34:31,519
Speaker 1: the injury to Carter caught the Bills a little bit

1888
01:34:31,520 --> 01:34:36,160
Speaker 1: off guard. And now they've got Bajorquez coming into punt

1889
01:34:36,320 --> 01:34:39,840
Speaker 1: who is a rookie. So I was surprised. I wasn't

1890
01:34:40,360 --> 01:34:43,080
Speaker 1: Nicole Leary might survive because because of the all round

1891
01:34:43,120 --> 01:34:45,920
Speaker 1: aspect of his play, but not stunned that he has gone. Yes,

1892
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:49,479
Speaker 1: Colton Schmidt released yesterday to make room for the new punter.

1893
01:34:49,560 --> 01:34:52,200
Speaker 1: That's that's a bit of a surprise. Um Tanna Vallejo

1894
01:34:52,280 --> 01:34:53,840
Speaker 1: surprised me. A little bit of draft pick from a

1895
01:34:53,920 --> 01:34:57,719
Speaker 1: year ago who got significant snaps in the most recent

1896
01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:02,479
Speaker 1: preseason games, mostly after Julian Stanford got hurt. Stanford I

1897
01:35:02,560 --> 01:35:06,240
Speaker 1: think provides tremendous value on special teams. Maybe that was

1898
01:35:06,320 --> 01:35:10,839
Speaker 1: what spelled. If the decision was Valejo versus Julian Stanford,

1899
01:35:10,840 --> 01:35:12,559
Speaker 1: I would think that's the way it went. Many people

1900
01:35:12,600 --> 01:35:14,960
Speaker 1: were surprised that Dean Marlow, the backup safety who had

1901
01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:19,639
Speaker 1: some good moments, got released. I'll tell you since the penalty,

1902
01:35:19,680 --> 01:35:22,320
Speaker 1: the helmet penalty he took in preseason game number three,

1903
01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:25,120
Speaker 1: I thought he was in trouble because I think it

1904
01:35:25,200 --> 01:35:27,479
Speaker 1: was a kind of penalty that Sean McDermot cannot to bide,

1905
01:35:27,800 --> 01:35:31,160
Speaker 1: and he did not. Dean Marlow, a safety who had

1906
01:35:31,240 --> 01:35:34,400
Speaker 1: some background with Sean McDermott, was on the cutlass. Mike Love.

1907
01:35:34,520 --> 01:35:37,320
Speaker 1: I had teased Mark Kelso about the defensive end Mike

1908
01:35:37,400 --> 01:35:40,280
Speaker 1: Love how that was his favorite player. Kelso thought he

1909
01:35:40,320 --> 01:35:42,240
Speaker 1: was a really good, solid player, had a great camp,

1910
01:35:42,320 --> 01:35:45,040
Speaker 1: and he was released as well. Love though added to

1911
01:35:45,080 --> 01:35:48,280
Speaker 1: the practice squad. Eight players added to the practice squad yesterday,

1912
01:35:48,360 --> 01:35:50,719
Speaker 1: two more today, and it's almost you know, it's pretty

1913
01:35:50,800 --> 01:35:52,920
Speaker 1: much round up the usual suspects on the practice squad,

1914
01:35:53,040 --> 01:35:56,360
Speaker 1: right Gerharden, Beer, Keith Ford, who had a really good camp,

1915
01:35:56,439 --> 01:35:58,519
Speaker 1: just no room for him just yet. Mike Love, who

1916
01:35:58,560 --> 01:36:00,800
Speaker 1: we just talked about. Dean Marlow's back on the practice squad,

1917
01:36:00,880 --> 01:36:05,360
Speaker 1: cam Phillips, wide receiver Corey Thompson, linebacker Levi Wallace, the

1918
01:36:05,880 --> 01:36:09,120
Speaker 1: quarterback from Alabama DeAndre Wesley, who early in camp I

1919
01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:10,720
Speaker 1: thought he had a chance to make the roster, a

1920
01:36:10,760 --> 01:36:13,040
Speaker 1: strong chance to make the roster. And yeah, I'll say it,

1921
01:36:13,040 --> 01:36:15,040
Speaker 1: and I'm surprised that he did not. He's on the

1922
01:36:15,120 --> 01:36:17,920
Speaker 1: practice squad now. He didn't make it in the new house.

1923
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:21,280
Speaker 1: Did Ruben Holcomb and Robert Thomas edited the practice squad today?

1924
01:36:21,320 --> 01:36:23,760
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on the practice squad? Yeah, you're right at

1925
01:36:23,800 --> 01:36:25,800
Speaker 1: the usual suspects. I think you look at the running

1926
01:36:25,800 --> 01:36:31,200
Speaker 1: back Keith Ford. Marcus Murphy was in the exact same

1927
01:36:31,240 --> 01:36:33,880
Speaker 1: boat light they brought him in. He got one start

1928
01:36:34,200 --> 01:36:37,280
Speaker 1: in Week seventeen against the Miami Dolphins, and now Marcus

1929
01:36:37,400 --> 01:36:40,240
Speaker 1: Murphy is one of the backup running backs behind Chris

1930
01:36:40,320 --> 01:36:43,679
Speaker 1: Ivory and Lashawn McCoy. That's where these guys go to develop.

1931
01:36:43,760 --> 01:36:46,360
Speaker 1: And the Bills have gotten some guys onto their roster

1932
01:36:47,040 --> 01:36:50,320
Speaker 1: who were exactly that a year ago. And that's exactly

1933
01:36:50,400 --> 01:36:53,360
Speaker 1: why the practice squad exists, is to get these guys

1934
01:36:53,400 --> 01:36:55,960
Speaker 1: a year under their belt, get to hang around the

1935
01:36:56,080 --> 01:36:58,840
Speaker 1: locker room and in the meetings and assimilate all this

1936
01:36:58,960 --> 01:37:01,000
Speaker 1: information or all these lessons that can be learned in

1937
01:37:01,080 --> 01:37:03,160
Speaker 1: practice and hanging around the guys who do it the best,

1938
01:37:03,800 --> 01:37:05,760
Speaker 1: and then they're ready to take advantage of it the

1939
01:37:05,840 --> 01:37:07,560
Speaker 1: next year when training camp kicks off and win a

1940
01:37:07,680 --> 01:37:10,400
Speaker 1: roster spot. It's a little bit comforting. But I think

1941
01:37:10,439 --> 01:37:12,280
Speaker 1: also when you go to the tight end room we

1942
01:37:12,520 --> 01:37:14,720
Speaker 1: talk about Nicole Learry being that steady guy, I think

1943
01:37:14,920 --> 01:37:16,960
Speaker 1: when you get down to where Cary Lee and Jason

1944
01:37:17,040 --> 01:37:18,720
Speaker 1: Krum are really going to help this club is on

1945
01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:22,120
Speaker 1: special teams and Logan Thomas as well. They're just better athletes.

1946
01:37:22,960 --> 01:37:26,920
Speaker 1: They're faster, and they can cover more ground and when

1947
01:37:26,960 --> 01:37:29,280
Speaker 1: you're covering kicks, and that's that's a huge asset for

1948
01:37:29,360 --> 01:37:32,080
Speaker 1: them that Nicole Leary didn't provide. So the roster is set,

1949
01:37:32,120 --> 01:37:34,200
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback is set. What do you think about

1950
01:37:34,200 --> 01:37:36,120
Speaker 1: all of it? Give us a call? Lines open eight

1955
01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:51,679
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be playing this week anyway,

1956
01:37:51,760 --> 01:37:54,800
Speaker 1: because with that offensive line and I don't think enough

1957
01:37:54,800 --> 01:37:58,040
Speaker 1: to send points towards Bed and that offensive line being

1958
01:37:58,200 --> 01:38:02,400
Speaker 1: such a turn style, because Gladi, I have never seen that.

1959
01:38:02,439 --> 01:38:04,559
Speaker 1: Everyone watching football for forty years, I have never seen

1960
01:38:04,600 --> 01:38:07,719
Speaker 1: anybody get dumped at a quarterback last Glad that Lucas

1961
01:38:07,880 --> 01:38:09,479
Speaker 1: got jumped in and the guy on the other side

1962
01:38:09,600 --> 01:38:12,360
Speaker 1: lost his job to Ducast last year. So I got

1963
01:38:12,400 --> 01:38:14,720
Speaker 1: a feeling that josh Emyn is definitely gonna play. It

1964
01:38:14,800 --> 01:38:17,000
Speaker 1: is probably gonna be some time early in the second half.

1965
01:38:17,760 --> 01:38:23,559
Speaker 1: Peter Man enters the concluction protocol because this offensive line

1966
01:38:24,120 --> 01:38:25,920
Speaker 1: is just it could be the worst in the history

1967
01:38:25,920 --> 01:38:28,000
Speaker 1: of the NFL, is the way I'm looking at it.

1968
01:38:28,439 --> 01:38:30,760
Speaker 1: How can you say that? How do you know that? Oh,

1969
01:38:30,800 --> 01:38:32,880
Speaker 1: because they've been watching football for forty years, I have

1970
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:35,599
Speaker 1: never seen an offensive line get dumped in in somebody's

1971
01:38:35,680 --> 01:38:38,280
Speaker 1: laugh like that. And it's just not just the one

1972
01:38:38,360 --> 01:38:41,200
Speaker 1: game John spent over the last year and a half,

1973
01:38:42,360 --> 01:38:45,759
Speaker 1: But as far there were sixteen hundred people on the streets.

1974
01:38:45,800 --> 01:38:47,719
Speaker 1: Are you trying to tell me they couldn't have found

1975
01:38:47,880 --> 01:38:51,160
Speaker 1: somebody they had a little bit more, a little bit

1976
01:38:51,240 --> 01:38:53,280
Speaker 1: better than Dukass or mill around. The other sign means

1977
01:38:53,280 --> 01:38:55,160
Speaker 1: they've been trying these guys for two years. It just

1978
01:38:55,360 --> 01:38:58,880
Speaker 1: hasn't worked well. You know, last year I would take

1979
01:38:58,920 --> 01:39:01,639
Speaker 1: aception of that. They were the sixth ranked rushing attack.

1980
01:39:01,760 --> 01:39:04,800
Speaker 1: Last year. They did okay. Last year's an offensive line.

1981
01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:07,479
Speaker 1: The problem is two key components of that line are

1982
01:39:07,479 --> 01:39:09,120
Speaker 1: gone last year. So to lump it together and say

1983
01:39:09,120 --> 01:39:10,960
Speaker 1: it's been this way for a year and a half,

1984
01:39:10,960 --> 01:39:13,160
Speaker 1: I don't think that's accurate. Yeah, we'll see. I don't

1985
01:39:13,160 --> 01:39:14,519
Speaker 1: know that they're the worst. I don't think they're the

1986
01:39:14,560 --> 01:39:17,080
Speaker 1: worst of all time. Nick, you need to pump the brakes. Yeah,

1987
01:39:17,280 --> 01:39:19,840
Speaker 1: I mean I even yeah, I mean they're certainly they

1988
01:39:19,880 --> 01:39:22,439
Speaker 1: haven't played well. But also you got to remember this too.

1989
01:39:23,040 --> 01:39:25,360
Speaker 1: They weren't given they weren't given a game plan, and

1990
01:39:25,479 --> 01:39:28,080
Speaker 1: also they were shuffled. Both guards flip flopped and the

1991
01:39:28,160 --> 01:39:30,280
Speaker 1: center's flip flopped from guard to center and back and

1992
01:39:30,360 --> 01:39:32,720
Speaker 1: forth as well, So they had three guys on the inside. Now,

1993
01:39:32,760 --> 01:39:35,000
Speaker 1: the tackles, I don't know how you say in this offense,

1994
01:39:35,520 --> 01:39:37,479
Speaker 1: both the tackles are coming back from a year ago.

1995
01:39:38,800 --> 01:39:43,479
Speaker 1: They are, they are not. They're well regarded now. The interior,

1996
01:39:43,520 --> 01:39:46,120
Speaker 1: the line and It was shuffled the entire preseason, no

1997
01:39:46,280 --> 01:39:48,479
Speaker 1: question about it. Those guys were moved back and forth,

1998
01:39:48,520 --> 01:39:51,000
Speaker 1: and they started to experiment with what they were going

1999
01:39:51,080 --> 01:39:53,600
Speaker 1: to do if one of them gets hurt, and what

2000
01:39:53,720 --> 01:39:55,679
Speaker 1: the best combination would be. And when they start flipping

2001
01:39:55,720 --> 01:39:59,280
Speaker 1: guys around like that, they start having problems. But worst

2002
01:39:59,479 --> 01:40:03,000
Speaker 1: offensive fine league, Come on, just relax a little bit.

2003
01:40:03,080 --> 01:40:07,000
Speaker 1: It's they didn't play that great, no question about it.

2004
01:40:07,080 --> 01:40:09,519
Speaker 1: But the worst league, the worst offensive line the history

2005
01:40:09,520 --> 01:40:13,040
Speaker 1: of the National Football League. I get you. I hope

2006
01:40:13,080 --> 01:40:15,120
Speaker 1: you're you're exaggerating to make a point, and the point's

2007
01:40:15,120 --> 01:40:17,280
Speaker 1: well taken. There are some question marks, but I don't

2008
01:40:17,360 --> 01:40:19,400
Speaker 1: think it's as diers you're making it out now. They

2009
01:40:19,479 --> 01:40:21,439
Speaker 1: may not be the strength of the team. They may

2010
01:40:21,520 --> 01:40:23,800
Speaker 1: not be the best offensive line the Bills I've ever had.

2011
01:40:24,160 --> 01:40:26,799
Speaker 1: There may be better offensive lines even within the division.

2012
01:40:27,080 --> 01:40:30,519
Speaker 1: But they're not gonna be. Uh, they're not gonna be.

2013
01:40:31,400 --> 01:40:33,599
Speaker 1: We're not gonna be going through quarterbacks at the rate

2014
01:40:33,640 --> 01:40:37,760
Speaker 1: of two per game. Okay, so just just get that.

2015
01:40:38,160 --> 01:40:41,880
Speaker 1: I get your point, But you know, just relax a

2016
01:40:41,920 --> 01:40:44,519
Speaker 1: little bit. Tony and Cheetiwaga on the line. Tony, go ahead,

2017
01:40:44,920 --> 01:40:48,160
Speaker 1: Oh he's gone. Here's Tony and Cheektawaga. My bad Tony

2018
01:40:48,200 --> 01:40:51,240
Speaker 1: and Cheektiwaga. There you are all right? How you guys doing?

2019
01:40:51,240 --> 01:40:56,120
Speaker 1: Happy labor days? If that guy an expert cook, he

2020
01:40:56,200 --> 01:40:57,800
Speaker 1: has been forty years, and I should be the head

2021
01:40:57,880 --> 01:41:00,479
Speaker 1: coach because I've been watching the Bills about forty nine years.

2022
01:41:00,760 --> 01:41:04,040
Speaker 1: You got them, you got them be. I'm calling to

2023
01:41:04,160 --> 01:41:08,120
Speaker 1: ask the experts. My thing is the OC, the new OC.

2024
01:41:08,360 --> 01:41:10,519
Speaker 1: We don't know how he's going to be if it

2025
01:41:10,600 --> 01:41:15,320
Speaker 1: looks like the first Carolina previous preseason game, everything looks great,

2026
01:41:15,320 --> 01:41:17,320
Speaker 1: and didn't they seem like they scale back? So I'm

2027
01:41:17,320 --> 01:41:19,880
Speaker 1: gonna ask you guys, can you give us some insight

2028
01:41:20,120 --> 01:41:24,760
Speaker 1: on what you think play calling, line assignments? What do

2029
01:41:24,880 --> 01:41:27,040
Speaker 1: you think? Give me some information on a really good question?

2030
01:41:27,080 --> 01:41:29,559
Speaker 1: Tony and I do think it goes to the last

2031
01:41:29,600 --> 01:41:32,040
Speaker 1: callers point two about how bad the offensive line look.

2032
01:41:32,560 --> 01:41:34,720
Speaker 1: You've You've said it, Tony. Much of the stuff they

2033
01:41:34,760 --> 01:41:37,960
Speaker 1: did against Carolina in the first preseason game we never

2034
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:40,519
Speaker 1: saw the rest of the preseason. That's by design. I

2035
01:41:40,600 --> 01:41:42,960
Speaker 1: think they wanted to keep that under wraps a little bit,

2036
01:41:43,040 --> 01:41:45,479
Speaker 1: and I anticipate we'll see that again starting this Sunday.

2037
01:41:45,720 --> 01:41:47,360
Speaker 1: It will make the line look better, It'll make the

2038
01:41:47,439 --> 01:41:50,479
Speaker 1: quarterback look better, It'll make the Bills look better. Maybe

2039
01:41:50,520 --> 01:41:52,800
Speaker 1: they won't be the greatest offensive line in the league.

2040
01:41:52,800 --> 01:41:56,280
Speaker 1: They probably won't be. But I do think what Brian

2041
01:41:56,360 --> 01:41:58,600
Speaker 1: day Ball has in mind for this offense. We got

2042
01:41:58,680 --> 01:42:02,920
Speaker 1: a glimpse of it in preseason game number one. We

2043
01:42:03,080 --> 01:42:05,120
Speaker 1: got a glimpse of it in preseason game number one,

2044
01:42:05,560 --> 01:42:07,960
Speaker 1: and I think it will move forward a little bit

2045
01:42:08,080 --> 01:42:10,200
Speaker 1: right and we'll get even more. There's certain things we

2046
01:42:10,280 --> 01:42:13,200
Speaker 1: saw in the first preseason game that we didn't see.

2047
01:42:13,520 --> 01:42:16,439
Speaker 1: Since there's probably and there's I'm telling you, there's probably

2048
01:42:16,640 --> 01:42:19,760
Speaker 1: a good significant percentage of the stuff that they'll have

2049
01:42:19,920 --> 01:42:23,320
Speaker 1: in this game that we haven't seen yet. Um, there's

2050
01:42:23,360 --> 01:42:25,960
Speaker 1: gonna be probably they'll probably tinker with their pace, They'll

2051
01:42:25,960 --> 01:42:29,160
Speaker 1: probably I think Brian Dabole will do some things that

2052
01:42:30,160 --> 01:42:32,000
Speaker 1: his team is going to be really excited about doing

2053
01:42:32,120 --> 01:42:36,320
Speaker 1: because they they see the possibility of it. I'm excited

2054
01:42:36,360 --> 01:42:39,840
Speaker 1: to see him as a play caller. Um. I'm yeah,

2055
01:42:39,920 --> 01:42:42,320
Speaker 1: there's a lot about this offense we don't know. But

2056
01:42:42,520 --> 01:42:44,880
Speaker 1: and just like there's a lot about this offense that

2057
01:42:44,920 --> 01:42:47,200
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens don't know, so I think that's going

2058
01:42:47,240 --> 01:42:49,679
Speaker 1: to be interesting. Now, Haythan Peterman, excuse me, go Haython.

2059
01:42:49,720 --> 01:42:51,519
Speaker 1: Peterman's at the podium. Let's check in to see what

2060
01:42:51,600 --> 01:42:58,200
Speaker 1: he's saying. Yeah, all, yeah, obviously, you know, I'm excited,

2061
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:03,000
Speaker 1: very thankful. It's a great opportunity. UM definitely worked really hard,

2062
01:43:03,120 --> 01:43:04,759
Speaker 1: you know, to try to get myself in this position,

2063
01:43:04,840 --> 01:43:06,559
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I think all the works still

2064
01:43:06,600 --> 01:43:08,719
Speaker 1: in front of me. UM got a big challenge ahead

2065
01:43:08,720 --> 01:43:10,600
Speaker 1: of us this week, and that's what I'm focused on.

2066
01:43:10,880 --> 01:43:12,720
Speaker 1: When you back in the spring, when you know they

2067
01:43:13,040 --> 01:43:15,639
Speaker 1: signed ag to a free agent deal and they draft Josh,

2068
01:43:15,680 --> 01:43:17,920
Speaker 1: what you knew was coming, did you? I mean you

2069
01:43:17,960 --> 01:43:20,640
Speaker 1: look at your position amongst those two guys and the

2070
01:43:20,960 --> 01:43:23,320
Speaker 1: status that they had. What were you thinking back in

2071
01:43:23,400 --> 01:43:25,800
Speaker 1: the spring of what the mountain you were gonna have

2072
01:43:25,840 --> 01:43:28,000
Speaker 1: to fry and to get to where you are now? Yeah,

2073
01:43:28,080 --> 01:43:31,360
Speaker 1: I mean it was a challenge. UM definitely ahead of me. UM.

2074
01:43:31,920 --> 01:43:35,320
Speaker 1: But again, my focus, I think, and that's UM what

2075
01:43:35,400 --> 01:43:37,000
Speaker 1: I got to continue to do is just focus on

2076
01:43:37,080 --> 01:43:39,200
Speaker 1: myself and uh, you know, focus on being the best

2077
01:43:39,240 --> 01:43:42,680
Speaker 1: I can be, no matter what, Um, matter what outside

2078
01:43:42,960 --> 01:43:46,040
Speaker 1: you know, circumstances happened, just to focus on myself and UM,

2079
01:43:46,120 --> 01:43:48,960
Speaker 1: got to continue to do that. What was it like

2080
01:43:49,320 --> 01:43:53,040
Speaker 1: hearing the news? Just eventually hearing the news from Sean

2081
01:43:53,200 --> 01:43:55,519
Speaker 1: Saint Drew as study, I was great. You know, it

2082
01:43:55,600 --> 01:43:58,519
Speaker 1: was a goal accomplished for sure. Um, you know, definitely

2083
01:43:58,560 --> 01:44:00,559
Speaker 1: set some high goals this year or this was one

2084
01:44:00,600 --> 01:44:04,160
Speaker 1: of them, and I want to keep accomplishing us hard

2085
01:44:05,360 --> 01:44:09,439
Speaker 1: quarterback competitions before. Were you able to keep this thing

2086
01:44:09,640 --> 01:44:13,479
Speaker 1: at a relatively manageable stress level? I let you know

2087
01:44:13,479 --> 01:44:15,280
Speaker 1: what I mean, like kind of get the best of

2088
01:44:15,320 --> 01:44:17,439
Speaker 1: people at times and your mind can wander when you're

2089
01:44:17,840 --> 01:44:19,800
Speaker 1: lay in bed at night. How were you in turns

2090
01:44:19,840 --> 01:44:21,880
Speaker 1: to managing all of that? Yeah? I think I just

2091
01:44:21,960 --> 01:44:23,960
Speaker 1: took a day by day approach, and that's when I'm

2092
01:44:24,240 --> 01:44:27,080
Speaker 1: gunning somebody to continue to do, you know, because this

2093
01:44:27,280 --> 01:44:29,200
Speaker 1: this league is a tough one and that's that's what

2094
01:44:29,320 --> 01:44:31,240
Speaker 1: it takes is a day by day, you know, hour

2095
01:44:31,360 --> 01:44:34,320
Speaker 1: by hour with your film study, with your preparation, and uh,

2096
01:44:34,520 --> 01:44:36,360
Speaker 1: you know, got got a lot of challenges ahead of us.

2097
01:44:37,920 --> 01:44:40,720
Speaker 1: It makes you a better quarterback today to end ward

2098
01:44:40,800 --> 01:44:43,720
Speaker 1: a year ago. Yeah, just learned a lot. You know

2099
01:44:43,800 --> 01:44:47,240
Speaker 1: went through a lot, UM studied a lot this offseason. UM,

2100
01:44:47,560 --> 01:44:52,040
Speaker 1: worked really hard, uh fundamentally as well. UM, And you know,

2101
01:44:52,479 --> 01:44:55,080
Speaker 1: I don't think time is necessarily just hey, as long

2102
01:44:55,120 --> 01:44:56,640
Speaker 1: as I spend some time. I mean I think I

2103
01:44:56,760 --> 01:44:58,920
Speaker 1: put a lot of work in to try to get um,

2104
01:44:59,280 --> 01:45:01,560
Speaker 1: you know, leaps and bounds better. And uh, you know

2105
01:45:01,600 --> 01:45:03,640
Speaker 1: I got to continue to do that because UM, like

2106
01:45:03,760 --> 01:45:05,479
Speaker 1: I said, there's a lot of challenges and you got

2107
01:45:05,560 --> 01:45:10,840
Speaker 1: to keep making steps. Tis a fat number ten point five.

2108
01:45:10,840 --> 01:45:12,519
Speaker 1: It's a big enough earlier to tell you guys, but

2109
01:45:13,040 --> 01:45:14,880
Speaker 1: I kneel you run out last than the office who

2110
01:45:15,040 --> 01:45:17,680
Speaker 1: kind of work on arm strength? Do you feel like

2111
01:45:17,880 --> 01:45:22,120
Speaker 1: you're living it all down to feel more effectively? Yeah? Um,

2112
01:45:22,520 --> 01:45:24,960
Speaker 1: you know, comparison wise, I don't know. UM. I mean

2113
01:45:25,280 --> 01:45:27,800
Speaker 1: for me, it's just about hitting the right spot, you know,

2114
01:45:27,920 --> 01:45:31,200
Speaker 1: on time, UM, anticipating it and getting it to the

2115
01:45:31,320 --> 01:45:34,040
Speaker 1: right guy. UM, So we gotta continue to do that. UM.

2116
01:45:34,120 --> 01:45:36,479
Speaker 1: I think the work I did this offseason definitely helped,

2117
01:45:36,520 --> 01:45:38,360
Speaker 1: and UM, I just got to continue with that. You know,

2118
01:45:38,439 --> 01:45:42,160
Speaker 1: you can't stop now. How is it you're going from

2119
01:45:42,160 --> 01:45:46,200
Speaker 1: the very first offense together the rookie written as coordinator

2120
01:45:46,280 --> 01:45:48,479
Speaker 1: to what Bryant's running that seems to have a lot

2121
01:45:48,520 --> 01:45:53,040
Speaker 1: of different concepts for Patriot. You're doing pictures like concepts obviously.

2122
01:45:53,360 --> 01:45:56,200
Speaker 1: How has that been for you a man? How do

2123
01:45:56,200 --> 01:45:58,840
Speaker 1: you feel your grasp has been? It's been great. You know,

2124
01:45:58,880 --> 01:46:00,599
Speaker 1: I think he's done a great job coming in here

2125
01:46:00,600 --> 01:46:03,519
Speaker 1: and uh, really challenging us, you know, back into TAS.

2126
01:46:03,520 --> 01:46:05,240
Speaker 1: I mean we were challenging a lot kind of with

2127
01:46:05,640 --> 01:46:07,559
Speaker 1: how much we put in. But I think we're paying.

2128
01:46:07,560 --> 01:46:10,360
Speaker 1: It's paying dividends right now because, um, I think guys

2129
01:46:10,400 --> 01:46:13,280
Speaker 1: feel very comfortable with what we're doing. Um, and you know,

2130
01:46:13,360 --> 01:46:16,120
Speaker 1: I think you know, we've seen it in preseason. It's successful,

2131
01:46:16,160 --> 01:46:17,360
Speaker 1: you know when we run it right, and we just

2132
01:46:17,439 --> 01:46:20,519
Speaker 1: got to focus on executing it. What makes it challenging?

2133
01:46:22,479 --> 01:46:25,000
Speaker 1: What I mean? I don't I don't want to get

2134
01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:27,240
Speaker 1: any comparisons, but I just think, you know, any new offense,

2135
01:46:27,360 --> 01:46:29,720
Speaker 1: you know you got to learn new terminology, learn you know,

2136
01:46:29,840 --> 01:46:33,080
Speaker 1: new things, and every coordinator has their own fingerprints, so um,

2137
01:46:33,479 --> 01:46:37,440
Speaker 1: you know, you just got to dive into it. Your

2138
01:46:37,439 --> 01:46:43,000
Speaker 1: teammates today it was great. You know a lot of

2139
01:46:43,040 --> 01:46:46,280
Speaker 1: guys think congratulations and you know you earned it, and um,

2140
01:46:46,600 --> 01:46:49,680
Speaker 1: you know it feels good. I feel um that you know,

2141
01:46:49,720 --> 01:46:52,080
Speaker 1: I went out and worked hard this you know camp,

2142
01:46:52,200 --> 01:46:54,680
Speaker 1: and um, I just I want to keep proving it

2143
01:46:54,760 --> 01:46:57,240
Speaker 1: to them. Um, you know, my teammates and myself every day,

2144
01:47:00,000 --> 01:47:01,280
Speaker 1: all the things you go off your career to go

2145
01:47:01,360 --> 01:47:03,800
Speaker 1: back to college. How much do you think Dare could

2146
01:47:03,840 --> 01:47:07,080
Speaker 1: tray helping the team to winning? This quarterback up a lot.

2147
01:47:07,240 --> 01:47:08,920
Speaker 1: You know, I think it's helped in my entire career.

2148
01:47:09,080 --> 01:47:11,519
Speaker 1: And I think as a quarterback that you know, you

2149
01:47:11,640 --> 01:47:13,880
Speaker 1: go through ups and downs. That's just the way the

2150
01:47:13,960 --> 01:47:16,640
Speaker 1: position goes. And so I think, um again, you know

2151
01:47:16,720 --> 01:47:19,280
Speaker 1: it's nothing's over. It's it's this is just a start

2152
01:47:19,920 --> 01:47:22,040
Speaker 1: to a long journey, and I gotta keep doing that.

2153
01:47:24,640 --> 01:47:27,320
Speaker 1: Did you Josh talk at all and you guys filed

2154
01:47:27,320 --> 01:47:30,559
Speaker 1: out the situation? Now? How think you got just this morning?

2155
01:47:30,720 --> 01:47:33,519
Speaker 1: You know, And uh, I think for both of us,

2156
01:47:33,720 --> 01:47:36,080
Speaker 1: you know, when I was the backup, just even the

2157
01:47:36,160 --> 01:47:38,160
Speaker 1: third preseason game, it was you know, I think the

2158
01:47:38,240 --> 01:47:40,720
Speaker 1: same approach and that we're going to help each other

2159
01:47:40,840 --> 01:47:43,120
Speaker 1: and um, you know, move forward, trying to get better,

2160
01:47:43,200 --> 01:47:45,040
Speaker 1: trying to help the team win as much as possible.

2161
01:47:47,720 --> 01:47:52,320
Speaker 1: I never thought the shot after what happened last year,

2162
01:47:52,720 --> 01:48:00,760
Speaker 1: Bills fans, Um, how how how do you look at that?

2163
01:48:00,960 --> 01:48:03,960
Speaker 1: I think just just when the sense that can be

2164
01:48:04,000 --> 01:48:06,200
Speaker 1: there are people who didn't even watch their Bills fans.

2165
01:48:06,240 --> 01:48:07,840
Speaker 1: It didn't even want you to even have a stiff

2166
01:48:07,840 --> 01:48:10,240
Speaker 1: at this competition. But the fact that you're here, what

2167
01:48:10,360 --> 01:48:11,800
Speaker 1: does that mean to you as a sense of in

2168
01:48:11,960 --> 01:48:14,960
Speaker 1: in a sense of accomplishment up to this point right

2169
01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:17,720
Speaker 1: now before you can starts, Yeah, it means a lot.

2170
01:48:17,800 --> 01:48:19,360
Speaker 1: You know, I'm thankful for the people that stood by,

2171
01:48:19,560 --> 01:48:22,439
Speaker 1: you know, my side, Um, you know, through hard times.

2172
01:48:22,680 --> 01:48:26,080
Speaker 1: But um, there's more challenges ahead and I'm ready to

2173
01:48:26,160 --> 01:48:28,640
Speaker 1: take them on. You know, I've learned a lot um

2174
01:48:29,160 --> 01:48:34,280
Speaker 1: and I'm ready to prove it every day. Will sending

2175
01:48:34,320 --> 01:48:38,080
Speaker 1: people work data after when when you left the field

2176
01:48:38,120 --> 01:48:41,760
Speaker 1: against might lose Florida makes you ever big? You can

2177
01:48:41,800 --> 01:48:45,040
Speaker 1: get to this point down through what happened in that situation,

2178
01:48:45,560 --> 01:48:48,280
Speaker 1: from where you are now, reflect back from that point

2179
01:48:48,320 --> 01:48:51,480
Speaker 1: to where you are now turning out of college. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

2180
01:48:51,600 --> 01:48:54,200
Speaker 1: You know, like I said about the goal, you know

2181
01:48:54,280 --> 01:48:56,600
Speaker 1: of this camp, It's been the same. You know, for

2182
01:48:56,720 --> 01:48:57,920
Speaker 1: my whole life. I've had a goal to play in

2183
01:48:57,960 --> 01:49:00,840
Speaker 1: the NFL to be a starter, and um, you know,

2184
01:49:00,920 --> 01:49:03,639
Speaker 1: I think maybe that's what people you know, don't understand sometimes,

2185
01:49:03,760 --> 01:49:06,880
Speaker 1: is that, you know, when you have obstacles, hard things

2186
01:49:06,920 --> 01:49:08,639
Speaker 1: in your life. I mean, that doesn't mean you should quit,

2187
01:49:08,880 --> 01:49:10,920
Speaker 1: you know. And uh maybe that's the way some people think,

2188
01:49:10,960 --> 01:49:13,320
Speaker 1: but that's not the way I think. And uh, you know,

2189
01:49:13,479 --> 01:49:15,920
Speaker 1: for me, it just amsed me up even more. Um,

2190
01:49:16,800 --> 01:49:18,919
Speaker 1: and it gives me, you know, a lot of desire

2191
01:49:18,960 --> 01:49:22,080
Speaker 1: and a lot of um yeah, drive to to go

2192
01:49:22,080 --> 01:49:26,479
Speaker 1: accompass those goals earning it. Sean said that to compared

2193
01:49:26,560 --> 01:49:28,639
Speaker 1: to a year ago when you went in the tyrode,

2194
01:49:29,160 --> 01:49:31,160
Speaker 1: do you feel in a way like maybe you earned

2195
01:49:31,160 --> 01:49:33,639
Speaker 1: it more this year and it's more satisfying, or maybe

2196
01:49:33,680 --> 01:49:36,519
Speaker 1: you don't look at it. Um. Yeah, there's a little

2197
01:49:36,520 --> 01:49:38,439
Speaker 1: sense of that for sure. Um, because I feel like

2198
01:49:38,479 --> 01:49:40,800
Speaker 1: I've I've gone through so much, you know, Um, I

2199
01:49:40,880 --> 01:49:43,760
Speaker 1: haven't been perfect by any means this whole camp. Um,

2200
01:49:43,840 --> 01:49:45,840
Speaker 1: but I think you know, I've made steps, um And

2201
01:49:45,920 --> 01:49:47,200
Speaker 1: like I said, I got to continue to do that.

2202
01:49:47,320 --> 01:49:49,679
Speaker 1: But um, I want to keep earning it. Like I said,

2203
01:49:50,000 --> 01:49:53,320
Speaker 1: you're the starter. Now, how do you manage not necessarily

2204
01:49:53,400 --> 01:49:55,920
Speaker 1: looking over your shoulder? Knowing that the number seven overall

2205
01:49:56,000 --> 01:49:59,120
Speaker 1: Dick is right behind you, just the same as I have. Then,

2206
01:49:59,240 --> 01:50:02,920
Speaker 1: you know, approaching it day by day, trying to earn

2207
01:50:02,960 --> 01:50:05,200
Speaker 1: it every day. UM. And that's what this league is,

2208
01:50:05,240 --> 01:50:07,160
Speaker 1: That's what football is. It's to earn it every day,

2209
01:50:07,680 --> 01:50:09,760
Speaker 1: UM type of sport. And uh, you know that's what

2210
01:50:09,800 --> 01:50:11,639
Speaker 1: I want to go do. Did you really help being

2211
01:50:12,479 --> 01:50:19,240
Speaker 1: gable one Packer's office? Is that what somebody says said? Uh? Yeah,

2212
01:50:19,439 --> 01:50:22,599
Speaker 1: it might have been a hyperbole or something, but I did,

2213
01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:24,479
Speaker 1: you know? I was. I was up there for sure,

2214
01:50:24,640 --> 01:50:28,240
Speaker 1: just trying to get to know him. UM, and you know,

2215
01:50:28,320 --> 01:50:30,040
Speaker 1: I think it was great. You know, the relationship we've

2216
01:50:30,080 --> 01:50:32,560
Speaker 1: had and um, you know how he's taught us, his

2217
01:50:32,640 --> 01:50:34,840
Speaker 1: offense has been great. Now that you're going to settle

2218
01:50:34,880 --> 01:50:37,799
Speaker 1: into this number one spot and get all the one reps?

2219
01:50:38,520 --> 01:50:41,760
Speaker 1: How much you know, continued growth? Do you expect of

2220
01:50:41,920 --> 01:50:45,599
Speaker 1: yourself now it's just gonna be you. You're the guy now? Yeah?

2221
01:50:45,640 --> 01:50:48,160
Speaker 1: A lot. You know, I think that always comes with reps. UM.

2222
01:50:48,240 --> 01:50:50,280
Speaker 1: So I'm going to continue to put my best foot forward,

2223
01:50:50,400 --> 01:50:53,040
Speaker 1: study as hard as I can, and um, try to develop.

2224
01:50:53,360 --> 01:50:56,040
Speaker 1: Do you look at this as your first real opportunity

2225
01:50:56,200 --> 01:50:59,120
Speaker 1: to bounce back in game action from your start in LA,

2226
01:50:59,280 --> 01:51:03,200
Speaker 1: because certainly leading game was extreme conditions outside just to

2227
01:51:03,360 --> 01:51:05,720
Speaker 1: be far more normal experience. Do you look at this

2228
01:51:05,840 --> 01:51:08,800
Speaker 1: maybe as your the first real opportunity to move on

2229
01:51:08,960 --> 01:51:12,080
Speaker 1: from that on the field. I want to say that,

2230
01:51:12,240 --> 01:51:14,640
Speaker 1: you know, I think every time I've gotten back on

2231
01:51:14,720 --> 01:51:17,439
Speaker 1: the field, it's a new opportunity. Um that you know,

2232
01:51:17,520 --> 01:51:19,880
Speaker 1: you're not tied to your past failures. Um. You know.

2233
01:51:19,920 --> 01:51:21,599
Speaker 1: And I know some people might think that because that's

2234
01:51:21,600 --> 01:51:23,920
Speaker 1: all I've seen, but um again for me, it's it's

2235
01:51:23,960 --> 01:51:25,920
Speaker 1: every time I step on that field, it's a new opportunity,

2236
01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:27,679
Speaker 1: no matter the good things are bad things that happen

2237
01:51:27,720 --> 01:51:31,360
Speaker 1: in the past. Um, That's how I'm approaching it. Loss

2238
01:51:31,439 --> 01:51:34,920
Speaker 1: on some people that have Charging or one or two

2239
01:51:34,960 --> 01:51:42,360
Speaker 1: weeks away question, Yeah, are you aware that the Chargers

2240
01:51:42,400 --> 01:51:45,519
Speaker 1: are two weeks away? Am I aware? You know? It

2241
01:51:45,760 --> 01:51:49,160
Speaker 1: was I guess that Seame team where not so many

2242
01:51:49,200 --> 01:51:52,479
Speaker 1: good things happen. Yeah, again that's two weeks away. And

2243
01:51:52,680 --> 01:51:54,760
Speaker 1: like I say, is day by day. Um, And it's

2244
01:51:54,840 --> 01:51:57,920
Speaker 1: it's about the Ravens. I mean, unbelievable challenge in front

2245
01:51:57,920 --> 01:52:00,200
Speaker 1: of us. They're a great team, um, you know, with

2246
01:52:00,320 --> 01:52:03,559
Speaker 1: a story franchise and very talented players, so I got

2247
01:52:03,600 --> 01:52:08,840
Speaker 1: a lot to focus on with them. Nathan Peterman twenty

2248
01:52:08,880 --> 01:52:11,200
Speaker 1: four year old Nathan Peterman, the bill started this week.

2249
01:52:11,240 --> 01:52:14,880

Speaker 1: be the starter. Who who was rooting against him? To

2261

2286
01:54:06,520 --> 01:54:08,000
Speaker 1: he's a little bit I think you said, a little

2287
01:54:08,000 --> 01:54:10,840
Speaker 1: bit like Corey Coleman, right, a little bit, a little

2288
01:54:10,880 --> 01:54:13,360
Speaker 1: fell out of favor and didn't wow him with a

2289
01:54:13,479 --> 01:54:17,479
Speaker 1: first round um production. And he's on the street like

Speaker 1: of a hot one here and in Buffalo, but it

2361
01:57:46,920 --> 01:57:49,440

2362
01:57:49,600 --> 01:57:51,680
Speaker 1: that's exactly what you want. We spoke about it in

2363
01:57:51,720 --> 01:57:54,200
Speaker 1: the break and you came in and I told murf earlier,

2364
01:57:54,200 --> 01:57:56,040
Speaker 1: I just what I remember today. You go out there

2365
01:57:56,080 --> 01:57:59,440
Speaker 1: and it's it's a weird day because there's like half

2366
01:57:59,440 --> 01:58:02,600
Speaker 1: the guys gone, and it's you feel on the one point,

2367
01:58:02,640 --> 01:58:04,880

2368
01:58:04,960 --> 01:58:07,360
Speaker 1: the fifty three roster in the NFL, but you know

2369
01:58:07,440 --> 01:58:10,760

2370
01:58:10,840 --> 01:58:13,880
Speaker 1: you go out there cut from ninety to whatever it is,

2371
01:58:13,960 --> 01:58:17,400
Speaker 1: sixty sixty three accounting the practice squad. Yeah, and you

2372
01:58:17,480 --> 01:58:20,440
Speaker 1: know that those stretch lines get cut into a third basically,

2373
01:58:20,520 --> 01:58:23,640
Speaker 1: and you make a lot of relationships. Um, that's the

2374
01:58:23,680 --> 01:58:26,400
Speaker 1: hardest part about that Friday that Saturday is you lose

2375
01:58:26,440 --> 01:58:28,520
Speaker 1: a lot of relationships. You know, fans have their favorites

2376
01:58:28,520 --> 01:58:31,480
Speaker 1: thing like that, but like you, for instance, Nico Leary

2377
01:58:31,560 --> 01:58:33,480
Speaker 1: is a guy that you really befriended and helped you

2378
01:58:33,640 --> 01:58:36,680
Speaker 1: in your career and and now he's no longer there.

2379
01:58:36,680 --> 01:58:38,160
Speaker 1: It's a it's hard to say goodbye to friend. I

2380
01:58:38,240 --> 01:58:39,360
Speaker 1: had to do it a number of times in my

2381
01:58:39,440 --> 01:58:43,520
Speaker 1: career as well. Absolutely. I mean that's what you'll remember

2382
01:58:43,720 --> 01:58:46,520
Speaker 1: a lot about this game too, as the friendships you make. Um,

2383
01:58:46,960 --> 01:58:49,120
Speaker 1: Nick will be just fine. Me and Nick have been

2384
01:58:49,520 --> 01:58:51,839
Speaker 1: have been friends for three years now, and we'll continue

2385
01:58:51,840 --> 01:58:53,680
Speaker 1: to be friends down the road. I know. Well. Keith

2386
01:58:53,680 --> 01:58:55,880
Speaker 1: Tobridge also from your tight end room, and he wasn't

2387
01:58:55,920 --> 01:58:58,560
Speaker 1: around as long as Nick obviously, but but his moment

2388
01:58:58,760 --> 01:59:00,920
Speaker 1: in the sun unless Thursday, it was pretty special, you know,

2389
01:59:01,040 --> 01:59:03,000
Speaker 1: to catch that touchdown lead in the game. It's pretty

2390
01:59:03,040 --> 01:59:04,720
Speaker 1: cool to see a guy excened like that at the

2391
01:59:04,800 --> 01:59:07,360
Speaker 1: end of Absolutely, Keith, Heith deserved it. I mean, he

2392
01:59:07,440 --> 01:59:10,160
Speaker 1: came out every day to work, didn't make any quarrels

2393
01:59:10,160 --> 01:59:12,600
Speaker 1: about it. He just you know, did his job, got

2394
01:59:12,680 --> 01:59:15,400
Speaker 1: better every single day. He's a big, strong, athletic dude.

2395
01:59:16,240 --> 01:59:17,880
Speaker 1: And for him to get his shot and then to

2396
01:59:17,960 --> 01:59:19,960
Speaker 1: get the score like that to win it, man, I

2397
01:59:20,040 --> 01:59:21,840
Speaker 1: felt good for him. Yeah, how important is that you

2398
01:59:22,080 --> 01:59:24,560
Speaker 1: you came in. We were laughing because Sean McDermot said,

2399
01:59:24,560 --> 01:59:27,000
Speaker 1: you know you're the emergency quarterback, you know, because we

2400
01:59:27,200 --> 01:59:29,160
Speaker 1: two guys on the roster, and you know, like you said,

2401
01:59:29,160 --> 01:59:31,560
Speaker 1: it's been three years since you through a pass in anger.

2402
01:59:31,880 --> 01:59:37,240
Speaker 1: But by the same token, this quarterback race, you've been

2403
01:59:37,280 --> 01:59:40,080
Speaker 1: a part of it, You've seen it, and you know

2404
01:59:40,280 --> 01:59:43,320
Speaker 1: now that it's come to this point, you feel confident,

2405
01:59:43,360 --> 01:59:45,160
Speaker 1: You feel good. You feel the team's got to be

2406
01:59:45,240 --> 01:59:48,640
Speaker 1: behind Peterman because they've seen what he's gone through. Absolutely,

2407
01:59:48,720 --> 01:59:51,560
Speaker 1: I mean Nate showed his true colors all the way

2408
01:59:51,640 --> 01:59:54,200
Speaker 1: through this race. You know, after last year, the way

2409
01:59:54,200 --> 01:59:56,800
Speaker 1: he bounced back. The guy didn't blink, not one time.

2410
01:59:56,880 --> 01:59:59,480
Speaker 1: He just kept on going, kept on going into us

2411
01:59:59,520 --> 02:00:01,800
Speaker 1: guys who have been around and seen it. Anybody could

2412
02:00:01,840 --> 02:00:04,040
Speaker 1: go in the tank at that point, but this dude,

2413
02:00:04,080 --> 02:00:07,000
Speaker 1: he just made him better and made him stronger, came

2414
02:00:07,040 --> 02:00:10,640
Speaker 1: out firing, kept on going. And you know what, everybody's

2415
02:00:10,680 --> 02:00:13,120
Speaker 1: in his corner. I know everybody in our room, everybody

2416
02:00:13,160 --> 02:00:16,120
Speaker 1: on the offense is in his corner, and I know

2417
02:00:16,240 --> 02:00:19,360
Speaker 1: the defense is too. So you know, it's just we're

2418
02:00:19,480 --> 02:00:22,200
Speaker 1: very thankful to have a guy like him, how level

2419
02:00:22,240 --> 02:00:24,640
Speaker 1: headed he is. And uh, yeah, like you said, I've

2420
02:00:24,640 --> 02:00:27,160
Speaker 1: seen seen a couple quarterback battles in my time, and

2421
02:00:28,000 --> 02:00:30,000
Speaker 1: there's no doubt Nate deserved it. Well. I mean, Stephen,

2422
02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:31,480
Speaker 1: I have talked about this a lot over the last

2423
02:00:31,480 --> 02:00:34,360
Speaker 1: few weeks. Outside Buffalo and maybe outside Bills fans, the

2424
02:00:34,440 --> 02:00:37,080
Speaker 1: perception of Nathan Peterman is that's the guy who had

2425
02:00:37,120 --> 02:00:39,640
Speaker 1: that bad first half in LA. Here in the building,

2426
02:00:39,680 --> 02:00:42,200
Speaker 1: and even I think among Bills fans people are over that,

2427
02:00:42,320 --> 02:00:44,720
Speaker 1: and certainly Nathan is too. You just reference it, right,

2428
02:00:45,120 --> 02:00:46,760
Speaker 1: it's not even an issue right when you talk to

2429
02:00:46,880 --> 02:00:49,160
Speaker 1: Nate now, is it what happening against the Chargers day

2430
02:00:49,160 --> 02:00:52,680
Speaker 1: in LA? That's what one day? Yeah, he had one half. Yeah,

2431
02:00:52,720 --> 02:00:56,240
Speaker 1: it's one half. He's had a lot of work before then,

2432
02:00:56,640 --> 02:01:00,360
Speaker 1: between then and now after that, and you know, you

2433
02:01:00,440 --> 02:01:02,680
Speaker 1: can that was his first blip on the radar. But

2434
02:01:02,880 --> 02:01:04,400
Speaker 1: you know what, that radar is still there and he

2435
02:01:04,480 --> 02:01:07,280
Speaker 1: can put as many blips on there and uh make

2436
02:01:07,360 --> 02:01:09,480
Speaker 1: him how he wants them to look. Steve mentioned about

2437
02:01:09,480 --> 02:01:12,640
Speaker 1: the emergency quarterback thing, and you know you're you're mentioned

2438
02:01:12,640 --> 02:01:15,280
Speaker 1: in that now that today, especially with the trade of

2439
02:01:15,360 --> 02:01:17,480
Speaker 1: McCarron and of course the two quarterbacks who's still in

2440
02:01:17,520 --> 02:01:19,560
Speaker 1: the roster, but I would guess them in your mind.

2441
02:01:20,040 --> 02:01:21,880
Speaker 1: That's not on your radar, right, you have a job

2442
02:01:21,920 --> 02:01:23,480
Speaker 1: to do that. It really doesn't have much to do

2443
02:01:23,560 --> 02:01:26,760
Speaker 1: with who's gonna come in if two quarterbacks get hurt. Absolutely,

2444
02:01:26,800 --> 02:01:29,720
Speaker 1: I'm solely focused on tight end. Um. You know, I

2445
02:01:29,800 --> 02:01:32,200
Speaker 1: got my job to take care of my job. That's

2446
02:01:32,280 --> 02:01:34,640
Speaker 1: kind of really how it is. You know, that's our motto.

2447
02:01:35,080 --> 02:01:37,600
Speaker 1: Just do your job. Let everybody worry about else worry

2448
02:01:37,600 --> 02:01:41,480
Speaker 1: about their jobs. You know AJ leaving, I mean, I'm

2449
02:01:41,480 --> 02:01:44,880
Speaker 1: sure it's great for our organization. Um, you know, me

2450
02:01:44,960 --> 02:01:47,240
Speaker 1: and AJ have been for instance high school, so um

2451
02:01:47,480 --> 02:01:49,480
Speaker 1: sad to see him leave as well. But you know what,

2452
02:01:51,000 --> 02:01:53,280
Speaker 1: you know, that's him and now this is us. We're

2453
02:01:53,480 --> 02:01:55,720
Speaker 1: we got our own team now and we got to

2454
02:01:55,760 --> 02:01:57,160
Speaker 1: move forward with it. How do you mean him? In

2455
02:01:57,200 --> 02:01:59,680
Speaker 1: high school? I played in the Army All American Game?

2456
02:02:00,040 --> 02:02:03,400
Speaker 1: Did he and kind of wow game? Friends, Then you're

2457
02:02:03,400 --> 02:02:05,560
Speaker 1: a quarterback back? Then I played quarterback in high school,

2458
02:02:05,600 --> 02:02:08,840
Speaker 1: but in the game, I played tight end. I played receiver. Okay,

2459
02:02:10,120 --> 02:02:12,600
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas our guests talking about his spin on this roster,

2460
02:02:12,640 --> 02:02:13,920
Speaker 1: you said, I got a role here. I get a

2461
02:02:14,000 --> 02:02:16,280
Speaker 1: job to do in that four man group in the

2462
02:02:16,360 --> 02:02:18,760
Speaker 1: tight end meeting room. What do you think your job is?

2463
02:02:18,800 --> 02:02:20,400
Speaker 1: What are they looking to get from from you? Do

2464
02:02:20,440 --> 02:02:22,640
Speaker 1: you think on this roster this year? Um, you know,

2465
02:02:23,040 --> 02:02:26,440
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna change by game. Um, Dave's does

2466
02:02:26,480 --> 02:02:30,000
Speaker 1: a great job of seeing the field, seeing matchups, and

2467
02:02:30,480 --> 02:02:32,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna get us a good as good matchups all

2468
02:02:32,640 --> 02:02:35,520
Speaker 1: across the field. How we think, how he thinks we

2469
02:02:35,600 --> 02:02:38,800
Speaker 1: can win and UM personnel against other people, how he

2470
02:02:38,880 --> 02:02:42,000
Speaker 1: thinks we can win. And uh, you know, my body

2471
02:02:42,080 --> 02:02:44,360
Speaker 1: type is kind of a stretch down the field type

2472
02:02:44,400 --> 02:02:47,320
Speaker 1: guy that can um can match up well in the

2473
02:02:47,440 --> 02:02:50,480
Speaker 1: seams and so, UM, we have full faith in Dave's.

2474
02:02:50,480 --> 02:02:51,920
Speaker 1: I know he's got a role for all of us,

2475
02:02:51,960 --> 02:02:55,080
Speaker 1: and we just gotta be on into our role. Yeah,

2476
02:02:55,160 --> 02:02:58,240
Speaker 1: we we The role has been defined now with the

2477
02:02:58,640 --> 02:03:00,720
Speaker 1: You say, we've been talking about the cores all the time.

2478
02:03:00,760 --> 02:03:02,920
Speaker 1: You've been out of practice. You were out there when

2479
02:03:03,040 --> 02:03:05,160
Speaker 1: Josh got drafted. You're out there now that Josh is

2480
02:03:05,200 --> 02:03:08,800
Speaker 1: the number two guy, And really the upside of him

2481
02:03:09,560 --> 02:03:12,440
Speaker 1: is so apparent because of his physical abilities in the

2482
02:03:12,560 --> 02:03:14,840
Speaker 1: arm strength he has, in the size, and the athleticism.

2483
02:03:16,000 --> 02:03:19,440
Speaker 1: When he got in against Cincinnati, you know, it didn't

2484
02:03:19,440 --> 02:03:21,840
Speaker 1: go as well as it could have. But you know,

2485
02:03:21,920 --> 02:03:23,640
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about what you guys see and

2486
02:03:23,680 --> 02:03:25,320
Speaker 1: what you talk about when you talk about Josh in

2487
02:03:25,320 --> 02:03:27,640
Speaker 1: the locker room, because you gotta see, you know, down

2488
02:03:27,720 --> 02:03:29,920
Speaker 1: the future, there's a there's a spot on the horizon

2489
02:03:30,000 --> 02:03:32,280
Speaker 1: looks pretty bright for him. Uh, that guy's got a

2490
02:03:32,280 --> 02:03:35,240
Speaker 1: spark about him. Um, there's no doubt about it. Something

2491
02:03:35,240 --> 02:03:37,840
Speaker 1: a little bit like Nate. Nothing really gets to him.

2492
02:03:38,320 --> 02:03:40,120
Speaker 1: He just moves on to the next play, moves on

2493
02:03:40,200 --> 02:03:42,840
Speaker 1: to the next play. He carries his self well on

2494
02:03:42,880 --> 02:03:45,920
Speaker 1: the huddle. So ever since that first day he stepped

2495
02:03:45,960 --> 02:03:49,040
Speaker 1: into the huddle stuffed on campus here, Really, he's just

2496
02:03:49,160 --> 02:03:54,760
Speaker 1: got guys attracted to him. Co said his view of

2497
02:03:55,000 --> 02:03:58,960
Speaker 1: drafting a quarterback in that position at seven that highly,

2498
02:03:59,040 --> 02:04:00,839
Speaker 1: he said he wanted to go. That's like a generator.

2499
02:04:00,880 --> 02:04:03,320
Speaker 1: You just plug it in. Things just start going. And

2500
02:04:03,440 --> 02:04:06,200
Speaker 1: that's exactly who that guy is. You know, me and

2501
02:04:06,320 --> 02:04:12,600
Speaker 1: Josh became close, closer than obviously before. And you know

2502
02:04:12,720 --> 02:04:15,680
Speaker 1: that kid, he's got a tremendous arm, but he has

2503
02:04:15,880 --> 02:04:18,880
Speaker 1: abilities outside of the arm, and he's very bright, he's

2504
02:04:18,960 --> 02:04:21,440
Speaker 1: very smart. So it's only a matter of time for

2505
02:04:21,560 --> 02:04:24,440
Speaker 1: things just start taking off for the kid. Coach McDermott

2506
02:04:24,520 --> 02:04:26,880
Speaker 1: told the media today that he told the team earlier

2507
02:04:26,920 --> 02:04:29,640
Speaker 1: today about his quarterback decision. How did he tell to

2508
02:04:29,720 --> 02:04:31,600
Speaker 1: your group? I mean, was it the full team meeting

2509
02:04:31,640 --> 02:04:33,280
Speaker 1: and what was the reaction like in there? Yeah, it's

2510
02:04:33,320 --> 02:04:36,840
Speaker 1: full team meeting, first official team meeting, first thing in

2511
02:04:36,920 --> 02:04:40,080
Speaker 1: the morning, everythink. Yeah, seven thirty or eight o'clock in

2512
02:04:40,120 --> 02:04:42,800
Speaker 1: the morning, we had our team meeting and first thing

2513
02:04:42,880 --> 02:04:44,680
Speaker 1: he said, we walked in and says, I want to

2514
02:04:44,720 --> 02:04:47,000
Speaker 1: be upfront with you guys, transparent with you guys. Is

2515
02:04:47,040 --> 02:04:50,000
Speaker 1: you guys to deserve it, because that's how we do

2516
02:04:50,040 --> 02:04:51,640
Speaker 1: it in our building. And he said, we're gonna make

2517
02:04:51,760 --> 02:04:55,400
Speaker 1: Nate our starting quarterback this week. I don't want to

2518
02:04:55,440 --> 02:04:57,520
Speaker 1: hide anything from you on as soon as we leave here,

2519
02:04:57,520 --> 02:05:00,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell the media. So so, yeah, let us know.

2520
02:05:00,720 --> 02:05:03,480
Speaker 1: And then people deplod, do they cheer, do they pound

2521
02:05:03,520 --> 02:05:06,600
Speaker 1: the table? That's not who we are. I mean, Nate's

2522
02:05:06,600 --> 02:05:09,040
Speaker 1: gonna do his job. We're gonna do our job. And um,

2523
02:05:09,520 --> 02:05:11,760
Speaker 1: but Nate knows we all got his back because he's done,

2524
02:05:12,120 --> 02:05:15,840
Speaker 1: He's done everything he's needed to this preseason, you know,

2525
02:05:15,960 --> 02:05:17,600
Speaker 1: for all of us to have confidence in them. Yeah,

2526
02:05:17,640 --> 02:05:19,800
Speaker 1: so nobody coming into this with Nate Peterman to the

2527
02:05:19,880 --> 02:05:24,280
Speaker 1: quarterback and some new faces on the offensive line. Really

2528
02:05:24,320 --> 02:05:26,400
Speaker 1: the only guy, you know, maybe Shady in the backfield

2529
02:05:26,480 --> 02:05:29,080
Speaker 1: gives us and DeMarco if he's in there. But a

2530
02:05:29,200 --> 02:05:32,520
Speaker 1: lot of new faces and a new offensive coordinator. Nobody

2531
02:05:32,880 --> 02:05:34,720
Speaker 1: knows what this team is gonna look like when you

2532
02:05:34,800 --> 02:05:37,720
Speaker 1: take your first snap against Baltimore in twenty and eighteen.

2533
02:05:37,800 --> 02:05:40,440
Speaker 1: Because there's so many unknowns and so many new things.

2534
02:05:40,480 --> 02:05:42,400
Speaker 1: So it's it's got to be a little bit exciting

2535
02:05:42,480 --> 02:05:44,560
Speaker 1: knowing that. You guys, because I know players, you feel

2536
02:05:44,600 --> 02:05:47,080
Speaker 1: like this, like where do they see us? Right? I

2537
02:05:47,120 --> 02:05:49,280
Speaker 1: mean that's the thought even though there's fans out there

2538
02:05:49,280 --> 02:05:51,560
Speaker 1: going to gadsh their offensive line. Oh they don't have

2539
02:05:51,640 --> 02:05:53,920
Speaker 1: a you know, established quarter But on the in the

2540
02:05:53,960 --> 02:05:55,720
Speaker 1: locker room, you guys are feeling like, man, you just

2541
02:05:55,880 --> 02:05:59,840
Speaker 1: watch us absolutely. I mean you can exude confidence without

2542
02:05:59,840 --> 02:06:03,840
Speaker 1: speaking like speaking like you're big headed. Um, you know,

2543
02:06:03,960 --> 02:06:07,280
Speaker 1: preseason is one thing. Regular season is completely different, and um,

2544
02:06:07,640 --> 02:06:09,560
Speaker 1: say whatever you want about the preseason, we just kind

2545
02:06:09,600 --> 02:06:13,080
Speaker 1: of let it go. Uh it's regular season time. And um,

2546
02:06:13,160 --> 02:06:15,800
Speaker 1: like you said, there's new faces, but the people that

2547
02:06:15,880 --> 02:06:18,000
Speaker 1: are new have bought into the system that we had

2548
02:06:18,120 --> 02:06:21,040
Speaker 1: last year, and um, you know, it's it's full full

2549
02:06:21,120 --> 02:06:22,720
Speaker 1: hit of steam forward. You know. One of the things

2550
02:06:22,760 --> 02:06:24,720
Speaker 1: about this preseason and you don't know how much to

2551
02:06:24,800 --> 02:06:26,800
Speaker 1: make of it, but it was it was it looked

2552
02:06:26,840 --> 02:06:29,160
Speaker 1: like coach Dabele has a role for you and the

2553
02:06:29,280 --> 02:06:31,360
Speaker 1: other tight ends to line up all over the plates

2554
02:06:31,360 --> 02:06:34,160
Speaker 1: in the backfield, sometimes right, split out wide. Sometimes that's

2555
02:06:34,160 --> 02:06:35,680
Speaker 1: got to be exciting, I would think right to know

2556
02:06:35,760 --> 02:06:38,000
Speaker 1: that you guys are almost the wild cards of this

2557
02:06:38,120 --> 02:06:40,640
Speaker 1: offense where you can line up formation absolutely. I mean

2558
02:06:41,160 --> 02:06:42,640
Speaker 1: you want to be you want to be the guy

2559
02:06:42,680 --> 02:06:44,480
Speaker 1: that moves everywhere. That means he has trust in you

2560
02:06:45,000 --> 02:06:48,080
Speaker 1: um and saying that that's part of this offense, being

2561
02:06:48,160 --> 02:06:51,640
Speaker 1: multiple and being um and getting matchups all over the field.

2562
02:06:51,920 --> 02:06:53,520
Speaker 1: You got to be able to handle that mentally to

2563
02:06:53,600 --> 02:06:55,680
Speaker 1: be able to do it, uh in a game, because

2564
02:06:55,840 --> 02:06:58,800
Speaker 1: you know, you could be out wide left one play, slot,

2565
02:06:58,880 --> 02:07:01,520
Speaker 1: one play in line play, and then vice versa on

2566
02:07:01,560 --> 02:07:03,480
Speaker 1: the other You know, we've been talking a lot about

2567
02:07:03,520 --> 02:07:07,120
Speaker 1: how much we saw in the first preseason game Carolina

2568
02:07:07,640 --> 02:07:09,960
Speaker 1: along those lines. Didn't see much of it. Since you

2569
02:07:10,000 --> 02:07:11,960
Speaker 1: don't have to unbail the playbook for us here, but

2570
02:07:12,040 --> 02:07:14,800
Speaker 1: please tell us there's going to be more that versatility

2571
02:07:14,840 --> 02:07:16,400
Speaker 1: when it comes to formations right when you get to

2572
02:07:16,400 --> 02:07:19,360
Speaker 1: the regular season. Absolutely, I think you gotta have birthatility.

2573
02:07:19,400 --> 02:07:21,880
Speaker 1: You can't be vanilla or else people are runna put

2574
02:07:22,040 --> 02:07:25,000
Speaker 1: a bull's eye on it and be locked in. So yeah, yeah,

2575
02:07:25,080 --> 02:07:29,000
Speaker 1: there's It seems to me too that what Murph said,

2576
02:07:29,120 --> 02:07:31,200
Speaker 1: we saw a lot of things in the first preseason

2577
02:07:31,240 --> 02:07:34,120
Speaker 1: game we didn't see haven't seen since. And there's probably

2578
02:07:34,120 --> 02:07:36,480
Speaker 1: a lot of things that you guys have installed, particularly

2579
02:07:36,480 --> 02:07:39,240
Speaker 1: in this game plan, that you haven't even put on film.

2580
02:07:39,840 --> 02:07:42,520
Speaker 1: So how difficult is it now to start getting some

2581
02:07:42,840 --> 02:07:45,120
Speaker 1: You've been running this offense for a month now, and

2582
02:07:45,160 --> 02:07:48,160
Speaker 1: training camp and the OTAs and that mini camps. You

2583
02:07:48,200 --> 02:07:50,240
Speaker 1: know how tough is And how confident are you guys

2584
02:07:50,320 --> 02:07:53,600
Speaker 1: that it's gonna run silky smooth when you get it

2585
02:07:53,600 --> 02:07:54,960
Speaker 1: out when you know and this is a game plan

2586
02:07:55,040 --> 02:07:57,640
Speaker 1: you haven't even worked at yet. Oh we're confident. I

2587
02:07:57,720 --> 02:08:00,280
Speaker 1: mean we've been doing it since the spring. We're not

2588
02:08:00,520 --> 02:08:03,480
Speaker 1: put it on film or um. Maybe some things are

2589
02:08:03,480 --> 02:08:06,320
Speaker 1: a little bit different, but it's it's all gonna be.

2590
02:08:06,400 --> 02:08:08,080
Speaker 1: It's all gonna add up. It's all gonna be just

2591
02:08:08,240 --> 02:08:10,880
Speaker 1: fine because we've been doing it. We've prepared um when

2592

2612
02:09:10,520 --> 02:09:13,560
Speaker 1: out there a bunch, but uh, she had three before

2613
02:09:13,600 --> 02:09:16,360
Speaker 1: I met her. Okay, Um, but they call me Dad,

2615
02:09:20,400 --> 02:09:24,760
Speaker 1: official first okay. And then obviously that's every day they

2616
02:09:24,800 --> 02:09:26,680
Speaker 1: were camp. It was great to see you know what. Yeah,

2617
02:09:26,840 --> 02:09:31,600
Speaker 1: I mean, that's exactly how I feel like it should be. Yeah. Um,

2618
02:09:32,240 --> 02:09:35,080
Speaker 1: you know it's football, family and faith and um, if

2619
02:09:35,120 --> 02:09:37,680
Speaker 1: I can have them there, especially the boys, I want

2620
02:09:37,720 --> 02:09:39,800
Speaker 1: them to see what it's like for grown men to

2621
02:09:39,880 --> 02:09:42,640
Speaker 1: work hard to achieve a goal and you know, put

2622
02:09:43,040 --> 02:09:46,600
Speaker 1: whatever they have of desire into a common goal. Um.

2623
02:09:46,720 --> 02:09:48,840
Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's something special for them

2624
02:09:48,880 --> 02:09:51,000
Speaker 1: to see. I missed Tim, Steve knows it. I missed

2625
02:09:51,040 --> 02:09:54,200
Speaker 1: it from would have camp go twelve months, nah, but

2626
02:09:54,480 --> 02:09:58,200
Speaker 1: a little longer. Logan, thanks for this, congratulations, Thank you

2627
02:09:58,320 --> 02:10:00,640
Speaker 1: to stay healthy. We'll get you in here again. Logan

2628
02:10:00,720 --> 02:10:03,600
Speaker 1: Thomas joining us. Uh now, let's listen in. Josh Allen,

2629
02:10:03,800 --> 02:10:06,920
Speaker 1: Bill's rookie quarterback, met with the media moments ago. Answered

2630
02:10:06,920 --> 02:10:10,000
Speaker 1: a bunch of questions, including a question about why the

2631
02:10:10,080 --> 02:10:13,720
Speaker 1: coach's decision to start, Nathan Peterman. You know, I mean,

2632
02:10:13,880 --> 02:10:15,640
Speaker 1: first of all, I'm for the team no matter what

2633
02:10:15,760 --> 02:10:17,280
Speaker 1: it is. You know, coach is gonna make the best

2634
02:10:17,320 --> 02:10:20,400
Speaker 1: decision for the team. UM. As a competitor, you you

2635
02:10:20,480 --> 02:10:23,000
Speaker 1: want to play and to not play. You know that's

2636
02:10:23,000 --> 02:10:25,560
Speaker 1: gonna hurt anybody's feelings. But at the end of the day,

2637
02:10:25,600 --> 02:10:27,920
Speaker 1: it's it's football. We're part of a team. UM. I'm

2638
02:10:27,920 --> 02:10:29,920
Speaker 1: gonna do whatever I can to help Nate, um and

2639
02:10:30,040 --> 02:10:35,120
Speaker 1: help this team when football games starting now. Um, I

2640
02:10:35,160 --> 02:10:37,520
Speaker 1: mean Coach McDermott and he brought me in and just

2641
02:10:37,640 --> 02:10:40,760
Speaker 1: kind of told me his piece, and uh, you know

2642
02:10:40,840 --> 02:10:43,240
Speaker 1: we moved on from there. So you know, our focus

2643
02:10:43,360 --> 02:10:46,960
Speaker 1: on focus is on beat in Baltimore right now. Add

2644
02:10:47,760 --> 02:10:49,480
Speaker 1: fuel to your fire? I mean, we know you're out

2645
02:10:49,520 --> 02:10:52,600
Speaker 1: here working hard every day but not getting the start.

2646
02:10:52,720 --> 02:10:55,560
Speaker 1: How much does that add fuel to your fire? I mean, again,

2647
02:10:56,200 --> 02:10:58,520
Speaker 1: as a competitor, I want to play, and you know

2648
02:10:58,600 --> 02:11:00,880
Speaker 1: that's what everybody on this team wants to do, is

2649
02:11:00,920 --> 02:11:03,840
Speaker 1: play football. Um. But you know I can't do anything

2650
02:11:03,880 --> 02:11:06,240
Speaker 1: about it except put my head down, continue to work,

2651
02:11:06,840 --> 02:11:09,160
Speaker 1: give the first team defense a good look on on

2652
02:11:09,320 --> 02:11:12,919
Speaker 1: scout oh um, and help Nate in whatever way possible,

2653
02:11:12,960 --> 02:11:14,400
Speaker 1: And at the same time, I got to prepare and

2654
02:11:14,680 --> 02:11:17,680
Speaker 1: be ready to play football and case something happens or um.

2655
02:11:18,200 --> 02:11:20,280
Speaker 1: You know, the game of football is weird, weird that way,

2656
02:11:20,320 --> 02:11:22,920
Speaker 1: so you always got to be prepared. Josh, you each

2657
02:11:23,000 --> 02:11:25,160
Speaker 1: got you each got a one start in the first

2658
02:11:25,200 --> 02:11:28,440
Speaker 1: three preseason games, but the first team raps throughout the

2659
02:11:28,480 --> 02:11:31,920
Speaker 1: spring and most of the summer were heavily slanted towards

2660
02:11:32,000 --> 02:11:34,600
Speaker 1: aj and Nate. Do you feel like you had enough

2661
02:11:34,640 --> 02:11:37,280
Speaker 1: of an opportunity to make your case, Givin, you didn't

2662
02:11:37,280 --> 02:11:40,040
Speaker 1: get all those first team reps early on, especially, Um,

2663
02:11:40,160 --> 02:11:42,880
Speaker 1: I mean coaches saw what they needed to see, you know,

2664
02:11:42,920 --> 02:11:45,120
Speaker 1: and they made a decision based off of that. Um.

2665
02:11:46,040 --> 02:11:48,200
Speaker 1: You know, I can't say anything bad about the decision.

2666
02:11:48,280 --> 02:11:50,600
Speaker 1: You know, Nate played well in the preseason, and now

2667
02:11:50,800 --> 02:11:57,800
Speaker 1: I'm here to help him in any way possible. UM, No,

2668
02:11:58,000 --> 02:12:00,840
Speaker 1: not at all. You know I think that you know,

2669
02:12:00,880 --> 02:12:03,320
Speaker 1: if you look around the league, rookie quarterbacks that start,

2670
02:12:03,520 --> 02:12:05,480
Speaker 1: you know, it might not be Week one, it might

2671
02:12:05,560 --> 02:12:08,040
Speaker 1: not be their first year. I think as long as

2672
02:12:08,080 --> 02:12:10,320
Speaker 1: you're able to take the mental reps that you're looking

2673
02:12:10,400 --> 02:12:13,080
Speaker 1: at in practice, UM, you're doing the right things if

2674
02:12:13,280 --> 02:12:16,280
Speaker 1: developing a routine that a professional quarterback should have, you know,

2675
02:12:16,320 --> 02:12:17,680
Speaker 1: and that's what I'm trying to do right now, still

2676
02:12:17,720 --> 02:12:19,680
Speaker 1: trying to learn this you know, way of being a

2677
02:12:19,720 --> 02:12:22,320
Speaker 1: professional quarterback. So um, I don't think it's a step

2678
02:12:22,400 --> 02:12:24,879
Speaker 1: back and ultimately it's going to help me in my progression.

2679
02:12:27,040 --> 02:12:32,520
Speaker 1: That's as tough as it was seeing seeing this happened

2680
02:12:32,720 --> 02:12:35,560
Speaker 1: with the decision today in any way because you might

2681
02:12:35,720 --> 02:12:40,400
Speaker 1: go back to yourself. No, not at all, not at all.

2682
02:12:40,400 --> 02:12:42,760
Speaker 1: Any any rep that I get, and he's gonna help

2683
02:12:42,840 --> 02:12:44,960
Speaker 1: me continue to grow, you know, you don't. You know,

2684
02:12:45,040 --> 02:12:46,880
Speaker 1: Coach McDermot says it all the time, either win or

2685
02:12:46,880 --> 02:12:49,080
Speaker 1: you learn. So you know, I got to learn from

2686
02:12:49,120 --> 02:12:51,640
Speaker 1: those reps um and continue to learn from anything that

2687
02:12:51,680 --> 02:12:54,040
Speaker 1: I can see, anything I can do, just understanding what

2688
02:12:54,120 --> 02:12:56,440
Speaker 1: coach Abel is trying to teach me. Um, picking up

2689
02:12:56,480 --> 02:12:58,280
Speaker 1: things here and there and like I said, just trying

2690
02:12:58,280 --> 02:13:01,800
Speaker 1: to get better and focusing on Baltimore. How do you

2691
02:13:01,920 --> 02:13:05,680
Speaker 1: reassess your mindset? I mean it's not this, I mean

2692
02:13:05,760 --> 02:13:08,440
Speaker 1: it's the same you know as i'd be preparing like

2693
02:13:08,480 --> 02:13:10,200
Speaker 1: I am starting this week. You know, I'm going to

2694
02:13:10,240 --> 02:13:13,560
Speaker 1: continue to get in early watch film. Um, and be prepared,

2695
02:13:13,600 --> 02:13:15,760
Speaker 1: like I'm the guy to go. You know, if I

2696
02:13:15,840 --> 02:13:18,040
Speaker 1: see something, pass along the Nate pass along to day

2697
02:13:18,120 --> 02:13:20,640
Speaker 1: ball and uh, you know, go from there. What did

2698
02:13:20,680 --> 02:13:23,240
Speaker 1: you learn about playing quarterback in the NFL over the

2699
02:13:23,320 --> 02:13:26,760
Speaker 1: past four weeks preseason weeks? Um? That it's still football,

2700
02:13:26,920 --> 02:13:29,360
Speaker 1: you know, it's not played on a bigger field, and

2701
02:13:29,440 --> 02:13:31,240
Speaker 1: it's the same game we've always been playing. It's a

2702
02:13:31,320 --> 02:13:33,440
Speaker 1: game that I love. Um, it's a game that I've

2703
02:13:33,720 --> 02:13:36,280
Speaker 1: grown to love even more in this environment and being

2704
02:13:36,360 --> 02:13:39,280
Speaker 1: able to be a professional quarterback, getting the facility early,

2705
02:13:39,520 --> 02:13:42,160
Speaker 1: watch film and you know, really live here. So it's

2706
02:13:42,200 --> 02:13:44,720
Speaker 1: been a cool experience. Um. You know, now I'm just

2707
02:13:45,160 --> 02:13:47,920
Speaker 1: learning to to get better every day. You're going to

2708
02:13:48,000 --> 02:13:51,080
Speaker 1: run the scout team. How can you grow from that experience?

2709
02:13:51,160 --> 02:13:53,080
Speaker 1: I mean that's reps of throwing football. It's reps of

2710
02:13:54,120 --> 02:13:56,640
Speaker 1: you know, going to the mechanics of huddle, getting to

2711
02:13:56,680 --> 02:13:58,720
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, looking at what the defense is doing.

2712
02:13:59,080 --> 02:14:01,040
Speaker 1: I know, you we got cards up that are telling

2713
02:14:01,080 --> 02:14:03,320
Speaker 1: us kind of where to throw. But sometimes I go

2714
02:14:03,320 --> 02:14:04,920
Speaker 1: off scripts a little bit and just try to challenge

2715
02:14:04,960 --> 02:14:06,880
Speaker 1: the defense a little more so, just trying to give

2716
02:14:06,920 --> 02:14:09,800
Speaker 1: them a good look, you know, and I'm playing against

2717
02:14:09,800 --> 02:14:11,880
Speaker 1: the first team defense. You know, if that can help

2718
02:14:11,920 --> 02:14:13,280
Speaker 1: me in any way, I think that's the way to

2719
02:14:13,360 --> 02:14:14,640
Speaker 1: do it. At the end of the day, can you

2720
02:14:14,800 --> 02:14:18,680
Speaker 1: fall back on the knowledge that nothing's really ever been

2721
02:14:18,760 --> 02:14:23,080
Speaker 1: given to you? Yeah? Absolutely, you know this is nothing new, um,

2722
02:14:23,760 --> 02:14:25,680
Speaker 1: you know in my life, I guess you can say that.

2723
02:14:26,440 --> 02:14:28,320
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I'm literally here just to

2724
02:14:28,320 --> 02:14:30,480
Speaker 1: help this team win football games in whatever way possible.

2725
02:14:30,600 --> 02:14:32,800
Speaker 1: What we like this weekend seeing so many of your

2726
02:14:33,000 --> 02:14:35,560
Speaker 1: new friends being released and then ag ultimately being traded

2727
02:14:35,600 --> 02:14:39,440
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, I mean, you know, as a rookie,

2728
02:14:39,520 --> 02:14:41,760
Speaker 1: it's hard to see that, you know, the vets here

2729
02:14:41,880 --> 02:14:44,720
Speaker 1: like that. That's what happens every year. Nothing that they've

2730
02:14:44,760 --> 02:14:48,560
Speaker 1: seen now can't surprise them. They've seen it all. But yeah,

2731
02:14:48,600 --> 02:14:51,520
Speaker 1: it's it's a business. You know. It's definitely kind of

2732
02:14:51,520 --> 02:14:53,840
Speaker 1: a crazy world that we live in. You know, I'm

2733
02:14:53,880 --> 02:14:56,200
Speaker 1: in a fortunate enough spot where, you know, I really

2734
02:14:56,240 --> 02:14:59,480
Speaker 1: didn't have to worry about that for now at least,

2735
02:14:59,520 --> 02:15:00,880
Speaker 1: you know, now got to be on my p's and

2736
02:15:00,960 --> 02:15:03,160
Speaker 1: ques and continuing to grow and learn this game of

2737
02:15:03,160 --> 02:15:06,000
Speaker 1: football at the NFL level. UM continue to develop as quarterback.

2738
02:15:06,200 --> 02:15:08,760
Speaker 1: You know you're number two coming into this UM but

2739
02:15:08,960 --> 02:15:11,120
Speaker 1: in terms of you say, you've prepared the same way,

2740
02:15:11,480 --> 02:15:13,800
Speaker 1: but now the reality is as the backup quarterback, it

2741
02:15:13,880 --> 02:15:15,800
Speaker 1: could be. I mean, you've known when you're going to

2742
02:15:15,880 --> 02:15:18,800
Speaker 1: play in the preseason, but anything can happen. What are

2743
02:15:18,800 --> 02:15:20,880
Speaker 1: you draw on to know what it's like to not

2744
02:15:20,960 --> 02:15:23,320
Speaker 1: just be prepared, but to be ready in a moment's

2745
02:15:23,320 --> 02:15:24,920
Speaker 1: notice to go. Well, that's that's why you got to

2746
02:15:24,960 --> 02:15:27,200
Speaker 1: prepare like the starter. You know, if God forbid, something

2747
02:15:27,280 --> 02:15:29,640
Speaker 1: did happen to um, the guy in front of me,

2748
02:15:30,120 --> 02:15:31,840
Speaker 1: you know, we gotta go in there and we gotta

2749
02:15:31,880 --> 02:15:33,480
Speaker 1: play like you can't miss a beat. You know, you

2750
02:15:33,560 --> 02:15:35,960
Speaker 1: still gotta go and drive the football. But you know,

2751
02:15:36,280 --> 02:15:39,960
Speaker 1: um it, football is a weird game. UM, So just

2752
02:15:40,000 --> 02:15:41,880
Speaker 1: trying to be prepared as possible for anything that happens.

2753
02:15:42,320 --> 02:15:43,880
Speaker 1: Are there part of your game that you're working earlier

2754
02:15:43,880 --> 02:15:46,240
Speaker 1: you want to work on again from number two number one?

2755
02:15:46,400 --> 02:15:48,720
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, just consistently, you know, putting the ball

2756
02:15:48,720 --> 02:15:51,520
Speaker 1: where it needs to be on time, um, with anticipation,

2757
02:15:53,160 --> 02:15:55,760
Speaker 1: you know, developing the routine that the professional quarterback should have.

2758
02:15:57,000 --> 02:15:59,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen speaking to the media, moments ago here after

2759
02:15:59,720 --> 02:16:01,840
Speaker 1: the Monday, after doing practice here in one Bill's riving.

2760
02:16:01,880 --> 02:16:03,840
Speaker 1: You know by now Nathan Peterman is gonna start Sunday

2761
02:16:03,880 --> 02:16:07,120
Speaker 1: against the Baltimore Ravens. Josh Ellen will be number two. Um.

2762
02:16:07,280 --> 02:16:10,920
Speaker 1: Did you detect in his demeanor? And he disappointed? I mean,

2763
02:16:11,000 --> 02:16:13,400
Speaker 1: Josh Ellen could not be surprised by the decision. No,

2764
02:16:13,600 --> 02:16:15,600
Speaker 1: but I like it. Yeah, but I didn't notice a

2765
02:16:15,640 --> 02:16:17,640
Speaker 1: little bit of I like it. Yeah, it's not what

2766
02:16:17,840 --> 02:16:19,440
Speaker 1: he wants, and I think it's a good lesson for him.

2767
02:16:19,600 --> 02:16:22,480
Speaker 1: You gotta earn it. Man. Seventh pick of the draft

2768
02:16:22,640 --> 02:16:25,600
Speaker 1: is one thing, but when in a competition, it's because

2769
02:16:25,640 --> 02:16:29,760
Speaker 1: something completely different. Um, And I think he's when he

2770
02:16:29,800 --> 02:16:31,840
Speaker 1: sits down and thinks about it and watches this next

2771
02:16:31,880 --> 02:16:34,120
Speaker 1: week and see some stuff happen. And he was like, wow,

2772
02:16:34,160 --> 02:16:36,480
Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't know. You know, he's gonna get

2773
02:16:36,520 --> 02:16:38,879
Speaker 1: his eyes opened a little bit by the this first

2774
02:16:38,920 --> 02:16:42,760
Speaker 1: week when we'll see what happens after that. And uh so, Yeah,

2775
02:16:42,800 --> 02:16:45,000
Speaker 1: I saw everything I wanted to see out of him.

2776
02:16:45,040 --> 02:16:49,000
Speaker 1: And he's exactly the kind of quarterback he want as

2777
02:16:49,040 --> 02:16:52,440
Speaker 1: a rookie high draft pick who's gonna watch for at

2778
02:16:52,520 --> 02:16:55,920
Speaker 1: least at least one week probably more. What will Josh,

2779
02:16:56,160 --> 02:17:01,440
Speaker 1: what could Josh anticipate getting benefiting from being the scout

2780
02:17:01,480 --> 02:17:04,720
Speaker 1: team quarterback this weekend into the future. That's just further reps.

2781
02:17:04,760 --> 02:17:08,359
Speaker 1: I mean, it's but that's not That's not the important

2782
02:17:08,400 --> 02:17:10,960
Speaker 1: part of being a backup quarterback. That's just something you do.

2783
02:17:11,600 --> 02:17:13,440
Speaker 1: The important part of it is sitting in the film

2784
02:17:13,520 --> 02:17:16,080
Speaker 1: room and get in the coaches room, the quarterback room

2785
02:17:16,080 --> 02:17:18,360
Speaker 1: when they're installing a game plan, and listen to what

2786
02:17:19,120 --> 02:17:22,040
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback has to say about the game plan

2787
02:17:22,440 --> 02:17:24,880
Speaker 1: and how important it is that he has something to say,

2788
02:17:25,320 --> 02:17:27,400
Speaker 1: something that he does like, some things that he doesn't like,

2789
02:17:27,560 --> 02:17:29,520
Speaker 1: some things he wants in the game plan, and some

2790
02:17:29,680 --> 02:17:31,760
Speaker 1: things he wants taken out of the coach's decision to

2791
02:17:31,800 --> 02:17:33,920
Speaker 1: put in the game plan. He also wants to know.

2792
02:17:34,200 --> 02:17:35,440
Speaker 1: You know, when you get in there in the morning,

2793
02:17:35,520 --> 02:17:37,400
Speaker 1: what's the first thing you start doing. What films do

2794
02:17:37,480 --> 02:17:40,480
Speaker 1: you watch on Wednesday? What films do you watch on

2795
02:17:40,600 --> 02:17:43,120
Speaker 1: Wednesday afternoon after practice? What am I looking for? And

2796
02:17:43,200 --> 02:17:47,480
Speaker 1: how do I get prepared? What film and what way

2797
02:17:47,560 --> 02:17:49,720
Speaker 1: can I prepare myself to make it so it's going

2798
02:17:49,800 --> 02:17:51,520
Speaker 1: to help me on game day and not just sitting

2799
02:17:51,560 --> 02:17:53,560
Speaker 1: here watching film for the sake of watching film. So

2800
02:17:53,680 --> 02:17:55,680
Speaker 1: I so people think I'm working hard? How do I

2801
02:17:55,760 --> 02:17:57,720
Speaker 1: get better? And those are the kind of things He's

2802
02:17:57,720 --> 02:17:59,680
Speaker 1: going to sit back watching Nate Peterman do. And that's

2803
02:17:59,720 --> 02:18:02,880
Speaker 1: what Peterman learned last year sitting behind a guy like

2804
02:18:02,959 --> 02:18:08,199
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor and knowing too that Tyrod's strength and skill

2805
02:18:08,240 --> 02:18:10,880
Speaker 1: set are completely different than his own. Nate Peterman learned that,

2806
02:18:10,959 --> 02:18:13,240
Speaker 1: and that's what Josh Allen's gonna learn watching Nate Peterman.

2807
02:18:13,280 --> 02:18:14,960
Speaker 1: And it would not surprise me at all, Steve, if

2808
02:18:15,560 --> 02:18:19,000
Speaker 1: this coaching staff, knowing how detail oriented they are, go

2809
02:18:19,080 --> 02:18:20,920
Speaker 1: a little bit extra with Josh Allen, you know what

2810
02:18:20,959 --> 02:18:22,840
Speaker 1: I mean, Like, Hey, Josh, we're gonna get you the

2811
02:18:22,920 --> 02:18:25,720
Speaker 1: video Tuesday, a game film Tuesday. We're gona get you

2812
02:18:25,760 --> 02:18:27,800
Speaker 1: to the game plan on Tuesday, and just like the

2813
02:18:27,879 --> 02:18:30,119
Speaker 1: starting quarter, we want you to work on that Tuesday.

2814
02:18:30,520 --> 02:18:32,080
Speaker 1: We want you to be in on all these meetings.

2815
02:18:32,320 --> 02:18:33,880
Speaker 1: You you know what I mean. They're gonna They're not

2816
02:18:33,920 --> 02:18:35,920
Speaker 1: gonna just push him off to the site because no

2817
02:18:36,080 --> 02:18:38,880
Speaker 1: the game he figures into the plan. Traditionally, Tuesdays are

2818
02:18:38,920 --> 02:18:41,040
Speaker 1: the players days off there, you know, because of the

2819
02:18:41,080 --> 02:18:42,840
Speaker 1: CBA and all that. They get one day off and

2820
02:18:43,000 --> 02:18:46,520
Speaker 1: during the week. Quarterbacks notoriously do not take days off.

2821
02:18:47,120 --> 02:18:49,240
Speaker 1: They're in on Tuesday, they're meeting, at least to a

2822
02:18:49,280 --> 02:18:50,920
Speaker 1: certain sta. They don't. They don't put the hours in

2823
02:18:51,040 --> 02:18:53,040
Speaker 1: that the coaching staff does. But they're there and they're

2824
02:18:53,080 --> 02:18:56,039
Speaker 1: watching film and they're here's what the coaches are thinking,

2825
02:18:56,120 --> 02:18:58,200
Speaker 1: here's what we're thinking on this play on first and

2826
02:18:58,280 --> 02:19:00,400
Speaker 1: second down, on third down, here's what we're looking at

2827
02:19:00,440 --> 02:19:04,680
Speaker 1: from their defense um and then you know, they participate

2828
02:19:04,760 --> 02:19:07,880
Speaker 1: in the in the game plan, and then also on

2829
02:19:08,040 --> 02:19:11,440
Speaker 1: Wednesday and Thursday, there's a given take between the coaching

2830
02:19:11,480 --> 02:19:13,680
Speaker 1: staff and the quarterbacks about what's going to happen. Now,

2831
02:19:13,879 --> 02:19:15,880
Speaker 1: the backup quarterback doesn't have a voice, and you know,

2832
02:19:16,000 --> 02:19:18,680
Speaker 1: taking stuff out of the game plan, we're putting stuff in.

2833
02:19:19,560 --> 02:19:21,879
Speaker 1: But he is a voice that the other the starting

2834
02:19:21,959 --> 02:19:23,520
Speaker 1: quarterback will look over and say, what do you think

2835
02:19:23,520 --> 02:19:25,400
Speaker 1: about this? Here's what I'm seeing. I don't like what

2836
02:19:25,480 --> 02:19:28,200
Speaker 1: the coaches are thinking here, and the player and the

2837
02:19:28,840 --> 02:19:31,320
Speaker 1: backup quarterback is a is a kind of a liaison

2838
02:19:31,560 --> 02:19:34,520
Speaker 1: between what the coaching coaches are thinking of the quarterbacks

2839
02:19:34,560 --> 02:19:38,320
Speaker 1: are thinking, and it's it's invaluable and that's you know,

2840
02:19:38,400 --> 02:19:42,480
Speaker 1: that's a relationship that becomes very important. Uh. Forget about

2841
02:19:42,520 --> 02:19:45,200
Speaker 1: for the backup quarterback, for the starting quarterback. Do you

2842
02:19:45,240 --> 02:19:48,000
Speaker 1: think Josh Allen and um Aathan Peterman will ever show

2843
02:19:48,080 --> 02:19:49,640

2876
02:21:31,640 --> 02:21:34,760
Speaker 1: and this year like unlike the last few years are

2877
02:21:35,040 --> 02:21:37,920
Speaker 1: certainly last year, first year of Sean McDermott and Brandon Bean.

2878
02:21:39,320 --> 02:21:41,280
Speaker 1: It's like this is a new team. I mean last

2879
02:21:41,360 --> 02:21:43,000
Speaker 1: year was sort of a new team as a new

2880
02:21:43,080 --> 02:21:44,560
Speaker 1: culture and a lot of new things about it. But

2881
02:21:44,680 --> 02:21:47,640
Speaker 1: this is a new team, I mean from two years ago.

2882
02:21:48,560 --> 02:21:51,120
Speaker 1: There's a lot of new faces on this squad and

2883
02:21:52,320 --> 02:21:55,760
Speaker 1: important ones. You can go down and say Kyle and Shady,

2884
02:21:57,320 --> 02:21:58,960
Speaker 1: you know, then it's kind of like wow, you know

2885
02:21:59,080 --> 02:22:02,000
Speaker 1: most of these guys are pretty young. Yeah, it's uh,

2886
02:22:02,080 --> 02:22:03,880
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be a lot of fun. You start

2887
02:22:03,920 --> 02:22:07,000
Speaker 1: a recorderback Nathan Peterman. Sean McDermott and the Bills released

2888
02:22:07,040 --> 02:22:09,199
Speaker 1: the news about eight fifteen this morning, and then McDermot

2889
02:22:09,320 --> 02:22:12,600
Speaker 1: stuck went to the podium at eleven thirty today, talked

2890
02:22:12,600 --> 02:22:15,640
Speaker 1: to the media and talked about the resiliency that he

2891
02:22:15,720 --> 02:22:18,360
Speaker 1: has seen from Nathan Peterman over his two years. Here

2892
02:22:18,400 --> 02:22:20,440
Speaker 1: here's what the head coach said about his starting quarterback.

2893
02:22:21,000 --> 02:22:23,520
Speaker 1: I believe as a resilient young man. Um. You know,

2894
02:22:23,600 --> 02:22:27,760
Speaker 1: he's certainly um come through some times of adversity through

2895
02:22:27,920 --> 02:22:33,320
Speaker 1: throughout his career. UM and uh and so um, look

2896
02:22:33,360 --> 02:22:36,760
Speaker 1: he's still a young player and uh and so you know,

2897
02:22:36,800 --> 02:22:40,440
Speaker 1: I've been impressed with his with his mental toughness, his

2898
02:22:40,840 --> 02:22:44,480
Speaker 1: his command of the offense. UM the way he's generated

2899
02:22:45,560 --> 02:22:49,040
Speaker 1: yards and then and then points in the preseason as well,

2900
02:22:49,160 --> 02:22:52,280
Speaker 1: and the way he's developed to this point. Um, let's

2901
02:22:52,360 --> 02:22:54,240
Speaker 1: keep him mind he as a young player, and and

2902
02:22:54,680 --> 02:22:58,320
Speaker 1: uh and you know, but just overall, you go back

2903
02:22:58,440 --> 02:23:00,920
Speaker 1: to your question of you watched at Tennessee, you watch

2904
02:23:01,000 --> 02:23:04,280
Speaker 1: him at Pitt So I'm a right now. He's a

2905
02:23:04,320 --> 02:23:08,320
Speaker 1: buffalo bill in terms of his journey, like all of us.

2906
02:23:08,400 --> 02:23:12,640
Speaker 1: And that's that character trait is a great trait to

2907
02:23:12,720 --> 02:23:14,760
Speaker 1: have in terms of being a resiliant young man. Sean

2908
02:23:14,879 --> 02:23:19,119
Speaker 1: mcdermotin his starter Nathan Peterman. When McDermott, in the middle

2909
02:23:19,120 --> 02:23:22,840
Speaker 1: of that answer listed attributes of Nathan Peterman, I think

2910
02:23:22,879 --> 02:23:25,760
Speaker 1: it's significant, Steve that his first two his mental toughness,

2911
02:23:25,840 --> 02:23:28,520
Speaker 1: his command of the offense. That's yeah, that's why he's

2912
02:23:28,520 --> 02:23:31,280
Speaker 1: starting Sunday. You know, don't you believe that? Yes, and

2913
02:23:31,320 --> 02:23:33,680
Speaker 1: I thrown the ball will this summer. He's moved the team,

2914
02:23:33,760 --> 02:23:36,640
Speaker 1: he's put up some points. But his mental toughness, the

2915
02:23:36,760 --> 02:23:39,800
Speaker 1: resiliency and his command of the offense. I gotta believe

2916
02:23:39,840 --> 02:23:42,800
Speaker 1: that's reasons one and two why Peterman start. And that's

2917
02:23:42,840 --> 02:23:46,000
Speaker 1: the thing. If we've gotten anything out of this preseason

2918
02:23:46,160 --> 02:23:48,320
Speaker 1: about Brian day Bole and his offense, and he always

2919
02:23:48,360 --> 02:23:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, he came from New England. And one thing

2920
02:23:51,040 --> 02:23:54,200
Speaker 1: about that program that we've seen as Bills fans from

2921
02:23:54,240 --> 02:23:58,760
Speaker 1: AFAR is their ability to change their offensive identity from

2922
02:23:58,800 --> 02:24:01,720
Speaker 1: week to week. One week they're a running team. The

2923
02:24:01,840 --> 02:24:04,600
Speaker 1: next week they're running screen passes and using their wide

2924
02:24:04,640 --> 02:24:07,040
Speaker 1: receivers on whip screens and end a rounds and then

2925
02:24:07,080 --> 02:24:09,680
Speaker 1: there and the next year they're the next week they're

2926
02:24:09,680 --> 02:24:11,879
Speaker 1: a power running team, and then the next week Tom

2927
02:24:11,959 --> 02:24:14,800
Speaker 1: Brady's going pursing the ball down the field. Their ability

2928
02:24:14,920 --> 02:24:18,199
Speaker 1: to change their offensive personality week to week is something

2929
02:24:18,280 --> 02:24:20,080
Speaker 1: that has been the hallmark of Bill Belichick and the

2930
02:24:20,360 --> 02:24:24,000
Speaker 1: Patriots over the years. You kind of get that sense

2931
02:24:24,040 --> 02:24:27,800
Speaker 1: that that's kind of where the target identity the Bill

2932
02:24:27,959 --> 02:24:29,720
Speaker 1: that the Bills want to have when or Brian Dable.

2933
02:24:29,720 --> 02:24:32,040
Speaker 1: They want to be able to change what they do

2934
02:24:32,200 --> 02:24:35,800
Speaker 1: well depending on the weaknesses they perceive in the defense

2935
02:24:35,840 --> 02:24:37,480
Speaker 1: that they're going to face week to week. And that's

2936
02:24:38,720 --> 02:24:42,520
Speaker 1: why it's wow, it's it's intriguing to think about whether

2937
02:24:42,560 --> 02:24:44,879
Speaker 1: they can pull it off. And when you talk about

2938
02:24:44,959 --> 02:24:48,120
Speaker 1: Nate Peterman having command of the offense, that's the first

2939
02:24:48,120 --> 02:24:50,040
Speaker 1: place you've got to start when to get all that done.

2940
02:24:50,200 --> 02:24:52,840
Speaker 1: Ambitious for the Bills to approach it, I agree, I agree,

2941
02:24:52,879 --> 02:24:55,640
Speaker 1: it's very ambitious, your quarterback first year coordinator, I do.

2942
02:24:55,800 --> 02:24:59,960
Speaker 1: I agree, But I think the culture that Sean McDermot

2943
02:25:00,160 --> 02:25:02,920
Speaker 1: and Brandon being have instilled here with the kind of

2944
02:25:03,000 --> 02:25:04,760
Speaker 1: guys they've gotten in and we saw a glimpse of

2945
02:25:04,840 --> 02:25:08,280
Speaker 1: and we talked at length about that in the broadcast

2946
02:25:08,760 --> 02:25:11,800
Speaker 1: in Chicago. It's palpable and we said it, you know,

2947
02:25:11,920 --> 02:25:14,320
Speaker 1: on Friday when we came back from Chicago. Culture is

2948
02:25:14,760 --> 02:25:16,960
Speaker 1: that culture is real and it makes a difference. And

2949
02:25:17,040 --> 02:25:20,760
Speaker 1: when you're trying to accomplish something big and ambitious like that,

2950
02:25:21,400 --> 02:25:23,400
Speaker 1: that culture is going to carry them further down the

2951
02:25:23,520 --> 02:25:28,240
Speaker 1: road in their progress towards that then they would otherwise

2952
02:25:28,280 --> 02:25:30,600
Speaker 1: be able to accomplish. So I think, you know, once again,

2953
02:25:31,480 --> 02:25:37,720
Speaker 1: it's a culture that breeds, you know, overachievement. Are you

2954
02:25:37,800 --> 02:25:41,119
Speaker 1: comfortable with the Bills quarterback position, Mike and Pennsylvania, I'm

2955
02:25:41,120 --> 02:25:44,480
Speaker 1: the line with us. Mike, go ahead, Welcome to the show. Hello,

2956
02:25:44,680 --> 02:25:47,160
Speaker 1: John and Steve. How are you guys doing? Doing great?

2957
02:25:47,200 --> 02:25:51,160
Speaker 1: How are you doing? Mike? Really good? Um? I just

2958
02:25:51,320 --> 02:25:55,640
Speaker 1: wanted to say why I'm really excited about Peterman being

2959
02:25:55,680 --> 02:25:57,760
Speaker 1: a starter this year. Um, I don't know if you

2960
02:25:57,840 --> 02:26:01,360
Speaker 1: guys remember right before he got drafted, I think he

2961
02:26:01,480 --> 02:26:04,320
Speaker 1: was still with Pitt and m He did all the

2962
02:26:04,400 --> 02:26:08,840
Speaker 1: trick shots. It's on YouTube. He did a bank shot

2963
02:26:09,000 --> 02:26:12,440
Speaker 1: from it was like a balcony and hit hit the

2964
02:26:13,720 --> 02:26:15,320
Speaker 1: through the football right in the hoop from like a

2965
02:26:15,400 --> 02:26:19,600
Speaker 1: three story building. Yeah, he's just really accurate, and I

2966
02:26:19,760 --> 02:26:21,960
Speaker 1: like that. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'd like

2967
02:26:22,040 --> 02:26:26,080
Speaker 1: to eventually see Alan progress and you know, develop and

2968
02:26:26,280 --> 02:26:30,080
Speaker 1: become a great quarterback. But I also like Peterman as well.

2969
02:26:30,160 --> 02:26:32,960
Speaker 1: And I'm sure the coaching staff as what they see

2970
02:26:33,200 --> 02:26:37,720
Speaker 1: his accuracy and everything else. Yeah, all right, Mike, Yeah,

2971
02:26:37,800 --> 02:26:40,600
Speaker 1: I mean that's right. I mean, it's it's fun to

2972
02:26:40,640 --> 02:26:44,400
Speaker 1: think about. But let's face it, we've seen him play

2973
02:26:44,640 --> 02:26:49,920
Speaker 1: and at times even in this preseason. And don't forget,

2974
02:26:50,000 --> 02:26:52,160
Speaker 1: he played really well in the preseason last year and

2975
02:26:52,200 --> 02:26:54,280
Speaker 1: that's why he made the team as a rookie, a

2976
02:26:54,320 --> 02:26:57,280
Speaker 1: fifth round draft pick. Certainly, they were installing, you know,

2977
02:26:57,400 --> 02:27:00,520
Speaker 1: new guys and going with their the players they brought

2978
02:27:00,600 --> 02:27:02,080
Speaker 1: in a little bit of that, but I think this

2979
02:27:02,200 --> 02:27:04,960
Speaker 1: year there's no doubt. I mean, the guy completed eighty

2980
02:27:05,000 --> 02:27:08,600
Speaker 1: percent of his passes in the preseason. I mean it's

2981
02:27:09,040 --> 02:27:11,959
Speaker 1: hard for Josh Allen and AJ mccarre's hard to beat

2982
02:27:12,000 --> 02:27:14,040
Speaker 1: a guy like that. You know, if you're looking for

2983
02:27:14,040 --> 02:27:17,440
Speaker 1: a guy that's gonna earn the job, that's the guy

2984
02:27:17,480 --> 02:27:20,160
Speaker 1: who did it. And it was pretty fairly obvious because

2985
02:27:20,240 --> 02:27:22,480
Speaker 1: he never had a swoon in his game. And I

2986
02:27:22,520 --> 02:27:24,760
Speaker 1: don't know whether it's we've heard a little bit on

2987
02:27:25,240 --> 02:27:28,039
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet and some feedback from you the fans

2988
02:27:28,080 --> 02:27:31,720
Speaker 1: and callers that you know, Nathan Peterman never really faced

2989
02:27:32,200 --> 02:27:35,840
Speaker 1: the adversity like with the number ones and playing against

2990
02:27:35,879 --> 02:27:37,800
Speaker 1: the number ones in the offensive line played better when

2991
02:27:37,800 --> 02:27:39,560
Speaker 1: Peterman was in there than they did when the other

2992
02:27:39,640 --> 02:27:41,480
Speaker 1: guys were in there, and all this kind of feedback,

2993
02:27:41,879 --> 02:27:44,400
Speaker 1: that doesn't matter. He's the guy that pulled the trigger

2994
02:27:44,440 --> 02:27:48,280
Speaker 1: and the offense looked smooth and crisp when he was

2995
02:27:48,320 --> 02:27:51,600
Speaker 1: at quarterback. So I'm kind of ready to go into

2996
02:27:51,640 --> 02:27:53,760
Speaker 1: the first game and see what they've got. All told,

2997
02:27:53,840 --> 02:27:56,160
Speaker 1: we'll see, but it's fun to think about. Call here

2998
02:27:56,240 --> 02:28:00,480
Speaker 1: from let's go to Mario in Ohio. Hello Mario on

2999
02:28:00,560 --> 02:28:04,680
Speaker 1: the air, with this Hey, how you doing, guys. Good good.

3000
02:28:04,720 --> 02:28:07,480
Speaker 1: I'm a die higher Bills fan, and uh, I wanted

3001
02:28:07,520 --> 02:28:13,360
Speaker 1: to discuss the whole quarterback situation. It doesn't matter to

3002
02:28:13,520 --> 02:28:17,400
Speaker 1: me who's starting. My thing is what's going on with

3003
02:28:17,480 --> 02:28:20,720
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bill's offensive line that can protect what quarterback

3004
02:28:20,879 --> 02:28:24,480
Speaker 1: is actually in the game. Yeah, I get you, Mario,

3005
02:28:24,560 --> 02:28:26,360
Speaker 1: and and that's the thing we've been talking about a

3006
02:28:26,400 --> 02:28:28,640
Speaker 1: little bit too. There's a lot new moving there's been

3007
02:28:28,720 --> 02:28:31,200
Speaker 1: moving parts all through the preseason. I think that was

3008
02:28:31,360 --> 02:28:36,600
Speaker 1: probably the most tinkered with position group on the entire

3009
02:28:36,720 --> 02:28:39,640
Speaker 1: roster during the preseason. They had more combinations and more

3010
02:28:39,720 --> 02:28:42,800
Speaker 1: different guys trying to play different spots than any other

3011
02:28:42,879 --> 02:28:46,120
Speaker 1: position group on the team, offense or defense. And I

3012
02:28:46,240 --> 02:28:48,280
Speaker 1: think it showed. I mean, I didn't think they played

3013
02:28:48,400 --> 02:28:52,120
Speaker 1: very well. I do know that, and I believe this.

3014
02:28:52,280 --> 02:28:54,240
Speaker 1: I don't know it, but I believe it. I believe

3015
02:28:54,320 --> 02:28:57,520
Speaker 1: that the guys on the offensive line individually are much

3016
02:28:57,640 --> 02:29:01,240
Speaker 1: much better there than what they showed as a group

3017
02:29:01,760 --> 02:29:05,960
Speaker 1: in the preseason. And I think that ability once they

3018
02:29:06,040 --> 02:29:08,879
Speaker 1: get settled and start playing games and putting in game plans,

3019
02:29:09,720 --> 02:29:12,360
Speaker 1: they're going to play more like a cohesive unit than

3020
02:29:12,400 --> 02:29:14,560
Speaker 1: they did in the preseason when they were moving around

3021
02:29:14,600 --> 02:29:17,680
Speaker 1: and stuff. So I think there's reason for a little

3022
02:29:17,680 --> 02:29:20,600
Speaker 1: bit of optimism there. But I agree with you, they

3023
02:29:20,640 --> 02:29:23,360
Speaker 1: are a big question mark going into this to this season,

3024
02:29:23,520 --> 02:29:25,440
Speaker 1: and it's going to be up to them to answer

3025
02:29:25,480 --> 02:29:27,840
Speaker 1: those questions. Put the question out there, are you comfortable

3026
02:29:27,879 --> 02:29:30,440
Speaker 1: with the Bill's quarterback situation? On the tweet sheet from

3027
02:29:30,879 --> 02:29:34,800
Speaker 1: Eric Richardson, he says no. McDermott was questioned for putting

3028
02:29:34,840 --> 02:29:37,880
Speaker 1: Peterman in over Tyrode last season when Peterman played horrible.

3029
02:29:38,160 --> 02:29:41,960
Speaker 1: If Peterman does not succeed, this really could damage his

3030
02:29:42,080 --> 02:29:46,160
Speaker 1: coach coaching decision making lead wide mcterurman said, there will

3031
02:29:46,160 --> 02:29:49,600
Speaker 1: be growing pains. Rather have them with Alan. He was

3032
02:29:49,680 --> 02:29:52,360
Speaker 1: criticized for the Peterman decision last year, and he goes

3033
02:29:52,400 --> 02:29:56,520
Speaker 1: with Peterman again in a different set of circumstances, different landscape.

3034
02:29:56,760 --> 02:30:00,440
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor not here. But the one point that Eric

3035
02:30:00,520 --> 02:30:03,240
Speaker 1: Ridgardson makes, if you're gonna have growing paints, why not

3036
02:30:03,320 --> 02:30:05,320
Speaker 1: have him with a rookie as opposed to Nathan Peterman.

3037
02:30:06,120 --> 02:30:09,959
Speaker 1: That's worth some discussion. I think, you know Peterman, Peterman's

3038
02:30:10,000 --> 02:30:12,200
Speaker 1: a young guy as well. And the other thing which

3039
02:30:12,240 --> 02:30:15,600
Speaker 1: I think plays into this is is your rookie ready?

3040
02:30:16,360 --> 02:30:18,800
Speaker 1: Is Josh Ellen ready? And I think the evidence was

3041
02:30:19,080 --> 02:30:21,400
Speaker 1: from the Cincinnati game eight days ago that he was

3042
02:30:21,480 --> 02:30:23,120
Speaker 1: not ready and you don't want to damage and it's

3043
02:30:23,160 --> 02:30:26,040
Speaker 1: not ready enough. Yeah, And I think let me tell

3044
02:30:26,080 --> 02:30:28,600
Speaker 1: you something. Everybody keeps bringing it up that Sean McDermott

3045
02:30:28,760 --> 02:30:32,640
Speaker 1: was widely criticized for starting Nathan Peterman over Tyrod Taylor.

3046
02:30:33,760 --> 02:30:36,720
Speaker 1: He didn't lose the locker room over it. So there

3047
02:30:36,800 --> 02:30:38,920
Speaker 1: wasn't like guys jumping up and down in the locker

3048
02:30:39,000 --> 02:30:42,720
Speaker 1: room and they weren't contained. It was. It was criticized

3049
02:30:42,800 --> 02:30:45,080
Speaker 1: from It was criticized in on the West coast and

3050
02:30:45,800 --> 02:30:48,360
Speaker 1: outside of the city of Buffalo, but it wasn't criticized

3051
02:30:48,360 --> 02:30:50,960
Speaker 1: in the organization. There are the guys who were in

3052
02:30:51,040 --> 02:30:54,640
Speaker 1: there every day working new Tyrod Taylor threw for fifty

3053
02:30:54,760 --> 02:31:00,480
Speaker 1: six yards in an NFL game at home. You get

3054
02:31:00,560 --> 02:31:05,240
Speaker 1: bench for that, You get bench for that. That's just

3055
02:31:05,400 --> 02:31:07,840
Speaker 1: it that And it wasn't the first time that he

3056
02:31:07,959 --> 02:31:10,360
Speaker 1: had thrown for less than a hundred yards in a game.

3057
02:31:10,879 --> 02:31:13,680
Speaker 1: Eight games last year he threw for under two hundred

3058
02:31:13,800 --> 02:31:17,880
Speaker 1: yards under two hundred yards eight times in a sixteen

3059
02:31:17,959 --> 02:31:22,160
Speaker 1: game schedule last year, you're you're not having a problem

3060
02:31:22,240 --> 02:31:24,160
Speaker 1: benching guys like that. Now, I know the team was

3061
02:31:24,200 --> 02:31:26,280
Speaker 1: playing well around him, and the defense was churning out

3062
02:31:27,160 --> 02:31:29,560
Speaker 1: turnovers and they were getting a lot of turnovers, and

3063
02:31:29,680 --> 02:31:32,640
Speaker 1: Tyrod did not turn it over and he had those attributes,

3064
02:31:32,720 --> 02:31:34,640
Speaker 1: no question. But if you're gonna be as good as

3065
02:31:34,680 --> 02:31:36,640
Speaker 1: you can be, you got to give your wide receivers,

3066
02:31:36,680 --> 02:31:38,240
Speaker 1: you're tight ends, you're running back to a chance to

3067
02:31:38,320 --> 02:31:40,200
Speaker 1: be as good as they can be, and you need

3068
02:31:40,240 --> 02:31:42,640
Speaker 1: a guy pulling the trigger that can do it more

3069
02:31:42,720 --> 02:31:47,520
Speaker 1: effectively than Tyrod Taylor was able to do. So. Any

3070
02:31:47,920 --> 02:31:50,600
Speaker 1: fans out there, if you're if you're gonna bring up

3071
02:31:50,600 --> 02:31:54,320
Speaker 1: the fact that Sean McDermott doesn't make good decisions because

3072
02:31:54,360 --> 02:31:57,040
Speaker 1: he put Nathan Peterman in that game last week in

3073
02:31:57,200 --> 02:31:59,840
Speaker 1: LA and against the LA Chargers, I would have his

3074
02:32:00,080 --> 02:32:02,360
Speaker 1: you with that. That was the call that needed to

3075
02:32:02,400 --> 02:32:06,440
Speaker 1: be made, no question. It was unpopular outside the building,

3076
02:32:06,720 --> 02:32:09,760
Speaker 1: no question. People. It doesn't get done that often, mostly

3077
02:32:09,879 --> 02:32:13,680
Speaker 1: because coaches don't have the courage to do the thing

3078
02:32:13,760 --> 02:32:15,520
Speaker 1: that gives them the best chance to win. They're gonna

3079
02:32:15,520 --> 02:32:18,080
Speaker 1: be status quo. Sean McDermott wasn't willing to do that.

3080
02:32:18,560 --> 02:32:21,120
Speaker 1: You can't go into a game counting on less than

3081
02:32:21,280 --> 02:32:25,440
Speaker 1: two hundred yards passing from a starting quarterback, let alone

3082
02:32:25,680 --> 02:32:29,280
Speaker 1: under seventy yards a game passing. That's why the decision

3083
02:32:29,440 --> 02:32:33,880
Speaker 1: was made. It was the right decision. The result was,

3084
02:32:34,200 --> 02:32:36,880
Speaker 1: you know, awful, but it was the right decision to

3085
02:32:36,920 --> 02:32:38,560
Speaker 1: be made. Before you knew anything that was gonna happen.

3086
02:32:40,680 --> 02:32:45,440
Speaker 1: There was probably thirty one backups in the NFL that

3087
02:32:45,560 --> 02:32:47,400
Speaker 1: would have been It wasn't that it was Nate Peterman.

3088
02:32:47,480 --> 02:32:49,160
Speaker 1: It was that anybody needed to go in there and

3089
02:32:49,200 --> 02:32:52,120
Speaker 1: play quarterback. It could have been Aj McCarron. It could

3090
02:32:52,160 --> 02:32:54,480
Speaker 1: have been any backup you could ever name across the league.

3091
02:32:54,520 --> 02:32:56,840
Speaker 1: They were getting put in because he threw for fifty

3092
02:32:56,879 --> 02:33:01,600
Speaker 1: six yards. Fifty six Look, I don't want to go

3093
02:33:01,680 --> 02:33:06,560
Speaker 1: back over last year. There's something everybody keeps bringing up,

3094
02:33:06,600 --> 02:33:08,800
Speaker 1: like Sean mcdermot's this. Oh he made this Eaves a

3095
02:33:08,959 --> 02:33:10,480
Speaker 1: young head coach. He made the wrong It was the

3096
02:33:10,640 --> 02:33:13,960
Speaker 1: right decision. The result wasn't what we all wanted, but

3097
02:33:14,080 --> 02:33:16,200
Speaker 1: it was the right move. And the fact that the

3098
02:33:16,280 --> 02:33:18,720
Speaker 1: players didn't give him any pushback at all tells you

3099
02:33:18,879 --> 02:33:22,039
Speaker 1: that let alone the fact that it was obvious again

3100
02:33:22,120 --> 02:33:24,920
Speaker 1: ten months later. I don't feel like reprosecuting that so well,

3101
02:33:25,000 --> 02:33:27,600
Speaker 1: somebody brought it up. You got all worked up that

3102
02:33:28,360 --> 02:33:33,080
Speaker 1: that was really I pulled my best Chris Brown. We're

3103
02:33:33,080 --> 02:33:35,960
Speaker 1: gonna break. We're back with more. We have a signal

3104
02:33:36,040 --> 02:33:37,560
Speaker 1: like you give me a pump. No, I want you

3105
02:33:37,600 --> 02:33:40,600
Speaker 1: gotta pump the brake signal for me so I can stop. No,

3106
02:33:41,040 --> 02:33:42,640
Speaker 1: you wiped out the bottom end of the show here.

3107
02:33:42,680 --> 02:33:44,560
Speaker 1: It was sorry, a little ran. It was a good rant.

3108
02:33:45,000 --> 02:33:47,000
Speaker 1: We're back with more. One goes live from One Bills

3109
02:33:47,080 --> 02:34:05,039
Speaker 1: Drive on Buffalo Bill's Radio. What have we learned? Presented

3110
02:34:05,040 --> 02:34:07,920

Speaker 1: with the finest and security and home Theater the preferred

3112
02:34:10,640 --> 02:34:12,640
Speaker 1: alarm at home theater. Priterer of the Buffalo Bills, Joe

3113
02:34:12,680 --> 02:34:16,200
Speaker 1: Uscalia from WKBWTV Channel seven in Buffalo, was our guest

3114
02:34:16,280 --> 02:34:18,440
Speaker 1: at one o'clock today. He talked about the news of

3115
02:34:18,480 --> 02:34:20,960
Speaker 1: the day. Nathan Peterman named as the starting quarterback for

3116
02:34:21,120 --> 02:34:25,320
Speaker 1: someday in Baltimore. It was obvious just from an on

3117
02:34:25,400 --> 02:34:27,680
Speaker 1: field perspective, he's the most in the most control of

3118
02:34:27,760 --> 02:34:30,200
Speaker 1: the offense. Of the two guys there, you can tell

3119
02:34:30,320 --> 02:34:33,600
Speaker 1: every single day of practice he had the best accuracy.

3120
02:34:33,959 --> 02:34:37,240
Speaker 1: He was leading his receivers. Every time Sean McDermott talks

3121
02:34:37,240 --> 02:34:39,000
Speaker 1: about him, he complimented him and went out of his

3122
02:34:39,080 --> 02:34:41,560
Speaker 1: way to compliment him. I mean this is it's very

3123
02:34:41,600 --> 02:34:44,360
Speaker 1: clear that Peterman is a McDermott and a Bean guy,

3124
02:34:44,760 --> 02:34:46,960
Speaker 1: mostly a McDermott guy, and I think he wanted to

3125
02:34:47,040 --> 02:34:50,040
Speaker 1: reward Nathan Peterman for a really good summer of work.

3126
02:34:51,400 --> 02:34:53,280
Speaker 1: So Nathan Peterman gets to start and he'll be on
