Speaker 1: bring us up to speed on what's going on out there.

18
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: We just heard from coach McDermott on a zoom call

19
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: with the media. Um, you could tell that coaches in

20
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: regular season mode because a little he's a little tight lipped, right, understand,

21
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: he's a little close to the vest. And you understand

22
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 1: that too, because we've talked about it on the show

23
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: Steve a lot. Week ones, the one week where you

24
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: can really kind of hold all your cards in your hand. Yeah,

25
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: so why are you going to give anything to the

26
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: other team? Well? Yeah, and plus you're like this when

27
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: nobody that's what I mean, you're blind, flying on instruments only.

28
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,559
Speaker 1: I mean, you have no idea what's going on? And um, yeah,

29
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: it's it's a crazy it's crazy. And he we laugh

30
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: about it anyway, because he is totally the pro poker

31
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: face today. He poker replies, replies with a genuine answer

32
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: to every question that is absolutely vacant of information. So

33
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: he's so good at it, man's and he's got it down.

34
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: He's he's great, he's great, he's he's respectful, and he's

35
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: he's and he seems Jay I think he does. Like

36
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: the guys in the media. He knows them all, you know,

37
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: and you know, it's just it's just awesome and he's

38
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: and of course it's I if there was job one

39
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: in the job description of being an NFL head coach,

40
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: it's being able to speak to people about your team

41
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: without divulging what your team is really like. Yeah, so

42
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: we'll get into some of the comments where, you know,

43
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: he did provide some interesting news and notes, including the

44
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: right side of the offensive line. But the team also

45
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: formally announced their captains for the twenty twenty season. Four

46
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 1: of them are repeat captains from last year. Josh Allen,

47
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds, Reid Ferguson, and Dion Dawkins. We're all re

48
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: elected as captains on offense, defense, and special teams respectively.

49
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: New captains on defense Jerry Hughes and Jordan Poyer, and

50
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: then the other special teams captain is Andre Roberts. Just

51
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: your your thoughts there, Steve. It makes a lot of

52
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: sense all those guys, and there's a plenty plenty of

53
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: you know, conversation about all of these guys. Red Ferguson

54
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: is one of probably as old a bill as there

55
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: is on the on the roster, Uh, isn't he He's not.

56
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes is the longest right Uh. But Dion Dawkins

57
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: a left tackle, your quarterback, your middle linebacker, your your safety. Uh.

58
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: And then you've got the you know, a Pro Bowl

59
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: player in Andre Roberts and Reed Ferguson. It's easy to

60
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: see what's going to Rid Ferguson. It could his arm

61
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: be any whiter? Mike Goodness, Yeah, he's got kind of

62
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: a guy. Spends the off season in Atlanta? Does he

63
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: tan at all? Like? Was he outside? Were short sleeves?

64
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: Good lord? You know, get the guns out in the

65
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: summertime at least photo taken. Yeah, that and they did.

66
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: And yeah, and with all this with the cat, Yeah,

67
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to do his head at the top

68
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: of his head's tan, Yeah, which makes no sense because

69
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: you would think he'd have a helmet on when he's

70
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: outside most of the time, especially during I don't know

71
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: when that the most Yeah, but the most interesting to me,

72
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: The most interesting thing that come out is, you know,

73
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: the depth. They published a depth chart and that's that's

74
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: kind of the most fun part about the whole right

75
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: and you know, they always say it's unofficial, you know,

76
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: for what that's worth, So you have that, But I

77
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: love at right guard and right tackle. On the depth

78
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: chart six, they list three starters for right guard and

79
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: three starters for right tackle. The three starters at right

80
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: guard or Cody Ford, Daryl Williams and Brian Winters. The

81
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: three starters at right tackle, Cody Ford, Tie and Secky

82
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: and Daryl Williams. And just just to reiterate what coach

83
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: said when he was specifically asked about how right guard

84
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: and right tackle are going to look in the starting

85
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: unit for the Bills, he said, you're going to see

86
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: different combinations out there at practice today, and then he

87
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: mentioned Cody Ford, Darryl Williams and Tie and Secky. He said,

88
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: we've got interchangeable parts there, and we have confidence in

89
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: all of those guys. Well, clearly they do, because they've

90
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: listed all all of them is starters, a total of

91
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: four different players there, you know, with Winters the only

92
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 1: one being strictly listed at guard, and Insecki the only

93
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: one specifically listed as a tackle. Ford and Darryl Williams

94
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: are listed at both guard and tackle. So we'll see

95
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: where it goes. We'll know on Sunday Monday line up, right,

96
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: that's one we'll know for sure unless he unless coach

97
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: divulges it prior to that, after you know, a Thursday

98
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: recap practice or a Friday address of the media. The

99
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: only other interesting thing is obviously the other cornerback position,

100
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: and yeah, that's listed as Josh Norman. It is listed

101
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: as Josh Norman. But Josh Norman's not practicing today, right

102
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: and Levi Wallace has been. They've both been tinkering with

103
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: a hamstring. So although Levi has been practicing since Monday,

104
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: and I think they'll be okay there positionally, provided you know,

105
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: nobody reaggravates anything, and we'll have to see where it

106
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: goes with Josh Norman. I know he practiced on Monday,

107
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: although we did not know the extent of his practice

108
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: because the team doesn't have to give any designations for

109
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: practice participation until today, so he could have been limited

110
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: on Monday. Maybe a little sore yesterday and they said

111
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: all right, well let's take another day. We don't know,

112
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: so we'll just have to see where that goes through

113
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: the course of the week, and he'll be listed on

114
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: the injury report along with some other people. Taiwan Jones

115
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: a limited participant in practice today, and then Mattie'll fill

116
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: us in as to whether or not there or any

117
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: other limited participants or non participants. I guess we'll know

118
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: the non participants. We won't really know the limited participants

119
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: until after practice is over in that injury report comes

120
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: out later in the afternoon. We also will have one

121
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: Eric Wood on the show coming up at about two fifteen,

122
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: as he is going to have some different responsibilities this

123
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: year amidst the COVID pandemic. As we know, he makes

124
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: his home in Kentucky, and with travel restrictions and quarantining

125
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: and all of that, we've kind of had to shuffle

126
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: the deck a little bit here, and I know you're

127
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: involved with that as well, So we'll get to all

128
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: of that at two fifteen and ketch up with Eric

129
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: at that time. We will also hear from one Zack Moss,

130
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: who we will be providing to you through our What's

131
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: the Scoop feature that Maddie does with a bunch of

132
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: players presented by Peris, So we'll get to that later

133
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: in the show as well, probably in the two o'clock hour.

134
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: So plenty of stuff to cover, plenty of ground to cover.

135
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, Steve, I don't know if

136
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: you saw this, but Tradevious White is no longer the

137
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: highest paid cornerback in the league anymore. Well he said,

138
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: he said he didn't. It's not gonna last long but

139
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: he says free days. For a minute, I was, and

140
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: Jaylen Ramsey blew it out of the water with a

141
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: twenty one million dollars a year, twenty one million dollars

142
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: a year deal five years, one hundred and one million dollars.

143
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: And it's funny to me. And I'm not just saying

144
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: it because because Tradevious is the guy we like know

145
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: and love and respect and Jaylen Ramsey's their guy or whatever.

146
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: But it's it's their job. I guess in the media

147
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: guys who are on Twitter and the social media guys

148
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: in the punnis, they say, wow, looks like Jalen Ramsey

149
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: is the winner, you know. And I'm like, sounds to

150
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: me like Tredavious and Jalen Ramsey or the winners. And

151
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: is anybody losing there? When you're talking a total of

152
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy million dollars between two guys, It

153
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: strikes me that both those guys are winners and good

154
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: for them. Yeah, And I'm surprised. And it's another illustration

155
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: as well that the Rams had note there they were

156
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: close to the cap and they fit Jalen Ramsey under

157
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: that number. The cap is teams are finding ways to

158
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: to get out ahead of the salary cap. And even

159
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: with this you know, hiccup cap for twenty twenty one,

160
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: which right now stands at one seventy five point nine.

161
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: It's pretty interesting scenario and a pretty interesting environment when

162
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: if the team and I heard this, our good friend

163
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: Andrew Brandt said it. He goes, if a team tells

164
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: you they can't fit you into the cap, it's another

165
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: way of saying they're just not that into you. You know,

166
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: that's I think an easy out for most teams. Some

167
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: other housekeeping notes with respect to the Bills roster, as

168
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: we know, Pat and Marco was placed on injured reserve

169
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 1: prior to the formation of the fifty three man roster,

170
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: which essentially meant that he could not play for the

171
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: Bills in any capacity this season. If you're put on

172
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: R prior to the formation of the fifty three man roster,

173
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: you are done for the year with that respective club. However,

174
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: if you are released by that team through an injury settlement,

175
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: you are eligible to sign with thirty one other clubs.

176
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: You know, according to the terms of the injury settlement,

177
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: like he will be healthy and fit to play on

178
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: X date, and then at that point, he can solicit

179
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: his services to thirty one other NFL clubs. So provided

180
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: his neck is okay, and since he sought an injury

181
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: settlement with the Bills, I would tend to think that

182
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: he will be fine in due time. With from the

183
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: neck injury, he could very well wind up on another

184
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: NFL roster somewhere else around the league. On the Bills too. No,

185
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: he can't. He can't come back to this team. Oh wow,

186
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 1: he cannot play for the Bills in twenty twenty. I

187
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: understand it. So if and here's the thing, it's probably

188
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: probably they it was his request, yes, because he's looking

189
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: to latch on somewhere else, right, He's looking to latch

190
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: on somewhere else, and it's it's unfortunate. Um. I saw

191
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: Tyrell Dootson tweet yesterday. Now keep this in mind. Tyrel

192
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: Dodson is a linebacker who was a rookie last year.

193
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: Wound up on the Commissioner's exempt list for some off

194
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: the field issues that he had, so you know, didn't

195
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 1: get off to the greatest of starts with the team,

196
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: but they did keep him around, uh, you know, practice squad,

197
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: and then I think he had I think he had

198
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 1: an injury and then came back and in any event,

199
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: a little bit of a rocky first year in the league.

200
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 1: And you know, Pat gets released in an injury settlement,

201
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: won't be back with the club this year, And so

202
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: it was interesting to see Tyrell Dotson specifically tweet in

203
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: response to the injury settlement and DeMarco earning his release,

204
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: where he essentially said, I appreciate everything you did for me.

205
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: You really helped me through a rookie season that had

206
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: its moments. So he said, can't thank you enough. Pat,

207
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: appreciate what you did for me. And I thought that

208
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: was very telling as because I asked coach McDermott the

209
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: other day when he was put on IR you know

210
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: the locker room presence that he was. I mean, this

211
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: guy was one of those initial leaders that coach McDermott

212
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: brought into the locker room in twenty seventeen to establish

213
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: the culture that we see now now it's kind of

214
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: a culture that runs itself. This guy in twenty seventeen

215
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: and even twenty eighteen was a huge part of the

216
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: team's leadership committee that would you know, have the ear

217
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: of coach McDermott and say, hey, you may want to

218
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: back off practice this week a little bit. Guys are

219
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: hanging and then so he was part of that back

220
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: and forth between coach and his leadership committee to have

221
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: the pulse of the locker room. And he was also

222
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: an important figure in the locker room in terms of

223
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: bringing young guys along. Hey, this is what you gotta

224
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: do if you want to be a pro. This is

225
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: what you have to preventative maintenance, take care of your body,

226
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: go getting a tub, you know this. Whatever it was,

227
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: he was a huge part of developing and building the

228
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: culture that we now see that exists here. And I

229
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: think it was no small thing that the guy did

230
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: that from a position that was turning into an obsolete position,

231
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: almost fullback. So McDermott saw I think I'm not saying

232
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: that McDermott wanted a fullback and yeah settled on DeMarco.

233
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: I think he wanted to Marco and said, let him

234
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: play fullback and we'll use him where we can and

235
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: he can use special teams and all that stuff. We'll

236
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: make a roster spot for a guy that we need

237
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: to do. Exactly what you said. I think there's no

238
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: question when you look at it from this end of

239
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: his time here in Buffalo. Beforehand, it was like, hei

240
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: a fullback and how good, how much is he gonna be?

241
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: How good as he gonna be? From this end of

242
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: it, it it was never about his football playing ability. All

243
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: he is a former Pro bowler at fullback exactly. That's

244
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: it wasn't so much about his, you know, ability to

245
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: change the game on the field. It was more about

246
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: his ability to change the locker room and the way

247
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: other guys played on the field and get them ready

248
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: to play. And that was as big a contribution as

249
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: what he did on the field. I think that's part

250
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: of what makes Sean McDermott and this coaching staff so

251
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 1: a little bit different than what you see around the NFL.

252
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: They identifying the value of players for that reason. Yeah,

253
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: not for their on the field of building none. Don't

254
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: make him, Make no mistake, the guy was a good

255
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: football players, a Pro Bowl player at that position. But

256
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 1: I think it says something about Sean mcdermot's ability to

257
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: evaluate what he needs and to make sure he's got

258
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: And I think that's probably what contributed to their ability

259
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: to release him with an injury settlement now, because I

260
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: think a right, you know what, we got some guys.

261
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: Now we can we can move that role, leadership role

262
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: to other guys who can do it. Like you said,

263
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: this is the culture can become self sustaining. Now, Josh Allen, Um,

264
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: those are the guys that Smith is still on the roster.

265
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: There's some guys and you know, Tremaine Edmunds learned how

266
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: to lead from Lorenzo Alexander and Kyle Williams. So you

267
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 1: know Kyle, I remember his last year here, I want

268
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: to say it was about week fourteen, Tremaine's rookie year.

269
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: Kyle would run the Thursday meetings from in the defensive

270
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: meeting room and just say, hey, here are the games

271
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna call on this down and distance because they

272
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: do a B and C and then over here. I mean,

273
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: he's got the clicker, he's wonning the thing. He's done

274
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: that for like the last eight years of his career.

275
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: So Week twelve, thirteen fourteen comes up and he gets

276
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: up for his regular Thursday session and he's like, Tremaine,

277
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: come on up, you're running the meeting, hands him the clicker,

278
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: go to it right, and it's a little bit of

279
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: a moment there. Yeah. Yeah, So it's just it's an

280
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: example of how you literally pass the leadership on to

281
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: the next group of guys coming up. And that's what

282
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: coach McDermott says all the time too. He says, we're

283
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: always growing our future leaders. Everybody has to lead in

284
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: some way, shape or form, whether it's in their position, room,

285
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: whether it's on their side of the ball, their phase

286
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: of the game, whatever it might be. He encourages everyone

287
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: to step forward and be a leader. And I know

288
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: coach Fraser said, one of the surprises that he was

289
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: unaware of is Mario Addison has great leadership ability and

290
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: he was unaware of that with Mario coming in the door.

291
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: You know his pass rushing, exploits and instruction. I mean,

292
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: he's got the eleventh most sacks in the league over

293
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: the last four years. But he was taken aback by

294
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: the leadership ability and how natural it is for Mario Addison.

295
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: So an added bonus there on the defensive side of

296
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: the ball, someone that can rally people and be like, hey,

297
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: let's go. I think they found out some things about

298
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: Quentin Jefferson as well. Yeah, he seems to be one

299
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: of those guys when you got guys much better player

300
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: than some people anticipate right too. And I think when

301
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: you've got young players and these players who have been

302
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: here for a while and the first time they talked

303
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: to him, they're talking to call him by this nickname Q,

304
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: you know, and they had to. You can tell in

305
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: their voice they got a real sense of affection for

306
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: this guy none of us have ever even met. It

307
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: says a lot about where they are headed and their

308
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: philosophy of when that offseason hits and the free agency hits.

309
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: It's almost like they scout these guys for their leadership

310
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: and character rather than their on fieldability. And they're they're

311
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: paying them good money, but not these aren't you know,

312
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey type deals are not even Dion Dawkins type

313
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: deals or you know, Turnavious White deals. These are just

314
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: these are middle of the road contract for these guys,

315
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: and they're highly motivated to earn them. Now, we also

316
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: mentioned yesterday how at some point in time, free agent

317
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: running back Lamar Miller is supposed to visit with the Bills,

318
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: And it sounds more exploratory in nature than anything else,

319
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: but that is going to happen if it has not

320
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: happened already. And now there are reports out there that

321
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: Jonathan Harrison, who has been a backup center for the

322
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: Jets for years and even has some starts on his resume,

323
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: forty two in fact, because he's had to start there

324
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: due to injury Nick Mangold retired, they didn't have a

325
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: suitable replacement. Harrison stepped into the starting lineup forty two

326
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 1: career starts in seven seasons in the league. He was

327
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: released by the Jets and is reportedly set to visit

328
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: the Bills. I got to see who had that report,

329
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 1: but I did see it this morning. I can't remember

330
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: who had that report. So we'll have to keep our

331
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 1: ear to the ground on that and see if that

332
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: turns into something. Because right now, Steve, your backup center

333
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: position is a little bit of an unknown quantity because

334
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: John Feliciano is on injured reserve right now. I don't

335
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: think we'll be back any earlier than week four coming

336
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: off pectoral muscle surgery. So well, Ryan Bates was a

337
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: candidate to be the backup center, but he has never

338
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: played it in a game, right, okay, and then Evan

339
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: Bam was another guy who's had time at center starts

340
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: in the league. He's on the practice squad. Now, you

341
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: could very easily call him up, but as far as

342
00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: Week one game, it's probably Ryan Bates right now. So

343
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: they're taking a look at other potential options. If this

344
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 1: report holds and proves to be true, that Jonathan Harrison,

345
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: the recent Jets cut, could be in for a visit

346
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: with Buffalo, So we'll keep an eye on that and

347
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: see if that comes to fruition and see where it goes.

348
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: And we also have, as we always do, the daily

349
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: Twitter poll, which is going to deal with the Bills

350
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: Jets matchup coming up here on Sunday in Week one,

351
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: and we're asking you where you feel the Bills should

352
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 1: have the most success against this Jets team on Sunday.

353
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: Is it the Bills pass game against the Jets secondary.

354
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: Is it the Bills run game against that Mosley less

355
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: Jets front, or is it the Bill's pass rush against

356
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 1: this new look Jets offensive line which essentially has five

357
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 1: new guys in five new spots this year, And in

358
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: the early returns, it's the Bills passing game against the

359
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: secondary leading the way. And I understand why, you know

360
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams is traded a way they don't resign a

361
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: couple of the guys they had starting in their secondary,

362
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: it's basically Pierre de Seer and Arthur Maulette, and a

363
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: lot of people out there might be going who So

364
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: those two guys are journeymen at best in this league.

365
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 1: Brian Poole is a capable nickel corner and probably their

366
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 1: best pound for pound corner on the roster. But I

367
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 1: mean Pierre de Seer is a tall and long corner,

368
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: so that might help him on jump ball situations. But

369
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: man Pierre de Sier and Arthur Maulette, who for years

370
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: was like the fourth or fifth corner on the roster

371
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: for the Jets, and now as a starter as he'd

372
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: grown into the position, he might be by default. But

373
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: I am not terribly impressed with who they have on

374
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: the back end in terms of a cover role at cornerback.

375
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: Safeties are okay. Marcus May's a decent safety, and they

376
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: got the guy back from Seattle in the trade with

377
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams, the veteran player whose names escaping me right now.

378
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: I'll have to look him up. But McDougald, McDougald, I

379
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: want to say, or McDonald, they can't remember. In any event,

380
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: their secondary has had some wholesale changes. And I know

381
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: Steve and I have already talked about this. We're kind

382
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: of anticipating that Greg Williams, the defensive coordinator, former head

383
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,239
Speaker 1: coach of the Bills, is going to be dialing up

384
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: the pressure to try to protect that secondary on the

385
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: back end, right, Yeah, and you know that he's going

386
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 1: to do everything he can to do that, but he's

387
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: also there's a couple of ways you can do it.

388
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: I would anticipate him bringing pressure. I don't think there's

389
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: any question that's he takes pride in it. He's a

390
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: go for it type of person, and he will do

391
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: his best to confuse not only the offensive line and

392
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, but Josh Allen himself. And if you've if

393
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 1: you've got an underman secondary, there's only so much you

394
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: can do. And the Bill's offensive line with their continuity,

395
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: if you're going to drop guys into coverage and fill

396
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: up the passing lanes, you're gonna give Josh Allen a

397
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: lot more time to decipher for what's going on his

398
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: third year, which might be they'll probably they're gonna do everything.

399
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: They're gonna drop into coverage. They're gonna come with pressure.

400
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna do everything they can and they're gonna change

401
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: it up every chance they get. So it's it's but

402
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: Greg Williams personality is not going to change. He is

403
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: who he is and he's a very good defensive coordinator

404
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. So yeah, and we can

405
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: forget and I know one year is different from the next,

406
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: but we can't forget that this Jets defense, very quietly

407
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: was a top ten defense. They finished seventh in the

408
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 1: league in total yards against and then they were second

409
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: against the run if I remember right, that's use And uh,

410
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: it looks like Quinnon Williams, their number one pick from

411
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: a year ago, who got has his head on straight.

412
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 1: He got thrown out two or three plays into the

413
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: home opener against Buffalo, so we didn't get a chance

414
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: to see him then, and he had a he had

415
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: a rocky rookie season two. But it looks like his

416
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: heads on straight because all returns on him have been

417
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: very positive in terms of how he's played in training camp. Yeah,

418
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: so you think about that one point victory. The Bills

419
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: got a seventeen sixteen win over the Jets in Week

420
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: one last year. Quinn and Williams got thrown out at

421
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: like three or four plays into the game, and then C. J.

422
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: Mosley left with a sixteen point lead on the Bills

423
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: later in the game, and the Bills were able to

424
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: come back after that. So it's they're a good bunch.

425
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: They're well coached, well coordinated, and they're gonna bring some

426
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: things that are unexpected, which is not going to be

427
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,719
Speaker 1: that hard to do because nobody knows what's coming on.

428
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: Nobody's seen anything. Fear of the unknown exists in a

429
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: big way here in Week one for just about every

430
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: coach in the league because you just you're gonna have

431
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 1: to adjust on the fly. You just simply do not

432
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: know what's coming. But I will say this with respect

433
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 1: to the Twitter poll, Steve, I think there's an even

434
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: greater advantage than the Bills passing game in this one.

435
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: I think it's I think, well, we have to take

436
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: a break. I'm gonna tell you in the next segment,

437
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 1: but we will be talking with Maddy glab who's out

438
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 1: on the practice field as we speak when we return

439
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: here on one Bills Live presented by Kalida Health. This

440
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker back with you.

441
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 1: On One Bills Live. As we mentioned at the top

442
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: of the show, practice is underway about fifty yards away

443
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: from us on the grass field today next to the

444
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: ad Pro sports Fieldhouse Training Center on the grass fields

445
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 1: and beautiful day might be the last real day of

446
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: summer spectacularly so, a sun splashed afternoon for the Bills

447
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: to practice and get to work. And joining us out

448
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: there to fill us in as to what is happening

449
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: is one. Maddie Glab, multimedia journalist extraordinaire, comes in with

450
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: a horn. Yeah, I heard that that was the horn

451
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: for the next segment of practice. Matty, how are you doing?

452
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: I know you're you're all masked up there being COVID

453
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: nineteen compliant, and I'm glad to see that you're in

454
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: a T shirt because it must be nice weather out there. Yeah,

455
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: it feels nice. The sun is beaten down on my

456
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: back right now. Like you guys said, I think this

457
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: is probably the last eighty degree day that we're gonna get.

458
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna soak it up, maybe gonna roll

459
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: my sleeves up after this hit, get a nice tand

460
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: because I think after this it's going to start to

461
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: cool off, which might feel good for the players, So yeah,

462
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: you can roll your sleeves up, that's right. So we

463
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: saw we saw that coach addressed a couple of the

464
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: injuries with respect to who may not be practicing. We

465
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 1: know Taiwan Jones is limited, but what we heard some

466
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: some news that might be of some concern with regard

467
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: to Josh Norman. Right, yeah, so Sean McDermott said for

468
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: his injury report, not too many names, which is always

469
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: a positive. Of course, John Feliciano is not out here,

470
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: and Tommy Sweeney as well, but he said Josh Norman

471
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: is out of today's practice. Taiwan Jones is also going

472
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: to be limited today. They were stretching all the way

473
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: across the field, so I wasn't able to get eyes

474
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,239
Speaker 1: on anyone else in red jerseys yet or see if

475
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 1: there's anybody hanging out on the sidelines. Looks like Jason

476
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: Krum is right over there working with sweatpants on dealing

477
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 1: with his hammy injury that he has. Also, let's see

478
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 1: there's one other player next to him. Can't actually make

479
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: out who that number is, but yes, Josh Norman is

480
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 1: out of practice for days for today, so that leaves

481
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace on the field for that CB two position,

482
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: and Sean mcdernam was asked about that in practice. You know, hey,

483
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: would you want to see more out of Levi Wallace

484
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: and Josh Norman? And he said, with how practices have

485
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: been going with this shortened offseason, of course any coach

486
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: would probably want to see more out of any position battle.

487
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: But at this point, whoever is on the field, I

488
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: am confident in that player. Yeah, and I think we'll

489
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: have to wait and see, obviously until after the injury

490
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: rapport comes out later this afternoon, because you know, we're

491
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: watching Levi warm up on the side. You can still

492
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 1: see he has the rap on his leg because he's

493
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: coming back from a hamstring injury as well. So you

494
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: wonder if they keep him limited in practice and keep

495
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 1: him on a pitch count so to speak. Right, Yeah,

496
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: definitely they could be watching how many snaps he takes today,

497
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: because you certainly want to have someone that has fresh

498
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: legs by Sunday, whether that's Levi or whether that's Josh,

499
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: whoever they're trying to get out there to start the game.

500
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: Even if it's both of them who end up playing

501
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: on Sunday, you definitely want to be careful about that

502
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: because cornerback depth was an issue last season towards the

503
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: end of the season, and you don't want to go

504
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: into Week one with that being an issue right off

505
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: the bat. You want to have somebody who can be

506
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 1: your solid CB two, and you want to back up

507
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: there as well in case someone like Levi or Josh

508
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: were to come out. Of course, you also have Dane

509
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: Jackson on the team. Yeah, we were going to ask

510
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: you as well about the offensive line with the six

511
00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: guy or actually five guys, six guys listed, you know there,

512
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 1: they continue to tinker around with it. Cody Ford is

513
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: obviously in the mix, Darryl Williams and Tyingnesseki and Brian

514
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: Winters all working through there. Do you do you get

515
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: a sense from talking to the players and coaching staff

516
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: that this they believe this offensive line maybe a tick

517
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: better than it was a year ago. Yeah, I think

518
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 1: it'll be a tick better. I wish they had John

519
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: Feliciano on the offensive line because we probably wouldn't be

520
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: shifting through this many guys up until this point where

521
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: we're in Week one prep and they're still trying to

522
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 1: figure out who the best five is That could mean

523
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: there are so many great offensive linemen on this team

524
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: it's truly taking a long time to figure that out.

525
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: But that could also mean with the absence of John

526
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: Feliciano four now, they're going to have to figure out

527
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: that solid right guard spot now. When he was there

528
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: last year, it was no problem and we still saw

529
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: Cody Fords shift right guard right tackle a little bit.

530
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see what happens

531
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: this year. I think they do have chemistry on their

532
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: side with four players, four starters returning, it's just going

533
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 1: to be figuring out where Cody Ford lands. And I

534
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 1: think they're confident in Cody Ford wherever he ends up at,

535
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: if he's switching throughout the season, if he sticks out

536
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: one spot during the season, and whoever else is in

537
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: that open spot, I think they're confident in him as well.

538
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: You add Brian Winters, Darryl Williams ty and Seki Is

539
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: coming back from last year. Hopefully he doesn't miss six

540
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: games like he did last year. I think those are

541
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: three solid options, three solid options that probably other teams

542
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: don't necessarily have. So I do think it's a good

543
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: problem to have at this point. They've always talked about

544
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: finding the best five offensive linemen. That was a keyword

545
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: for them last year. That's the same thing this year.

546
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: So it'll definitely be interesting to see if they find

547
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: that five by Friday, Saturday, whatever that may be. If

548
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: that's how it stays for the following week, yeah, I

549
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: have to believe they knew who they're five are. They're

550
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: just holding him is keeping those guards right close to

551
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: the vest I mean, you can't tell me this coaching. Instead,

552
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: they already put the game plan in. They they're playing

553
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,479
Speaker 1: it right Garder. I also think it's pretty likely as

554
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: well that they won't play the same five guys from

555
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: start to finish at the game. I am that's possible.

556
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: I imagine that they'll have some scenarios where they'll shift

557
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: guys around, rotate some guys in and out, because it's

558
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: if you've got seven or eight guys even on the

559
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: game day roster that you trust, it makes some sense

560
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: to keep some guys fresh because in the fourth quarter

561
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: you got a chance to have a little bit more

562
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: success against a rotating defense, and you can dress an

563
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: additional offensive lineman this year, because the game day roster

564
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: can go from up to forty seven up to forty eight,

565
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: provided that forty eighth player is an eighth offensive lineman.

566
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: So that is a new rule that's put in this year.

567
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: And speaking of offensive lineman, Maddie, Jerry Hughes may face

568
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: the biggest human in the league this weekend in the

569
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: form of McKay Beckton, the Jets top pick. I know

570
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: that he already spoke on that a little bit in

571
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: a zoom call earlier this week. Maybe you can shed

572
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: some light on his thought going up against a mountain

573
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: of a human in McKay Beckham. Yeah, McKay is six seven,

574
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty four pounds. I literally cannot get

575
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: over how big he is. That is incredible. He would

576
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: probably eat me as a human because I'm five feet tall.

577
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: But thankfully I don't have to go up against him

578
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: on Sunday. That's going to be the job of Jerry,

579
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: who's Hughes and whoever is rotating through that defensive line.

580
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: Surely it will be more than him just taking reps

581
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: against him. But he said, yeah, he had to go

582
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: to YouTube. He had to go find some college tape

583
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: on him during his Louisville days, because they don't have

584
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: any preseason games to go off of, so he said

585
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: he's been doing his due diligence, diggings into as much

586
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: as he can find on YouTube clips on even highlights

587
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: from practices. He said that he's looked at and coming

588
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: out of Jets camp, the word on the street is

589
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: that McKay Beckham is just different. He moves a lot

590
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: faster than you think he would for his size at

591
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: six seven, three hundred and sixty four pounds. This is

592
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: going to be an important piece to this offensive line,

593
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: a starting left tackle, and they pretty much revamped their

594
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: entire offensive line. Also brought Connor mcgover in a free agent.

595
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: He's going to be at the center position, and you

596
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: may see five new faces on that line as as

597
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: as a total. And this is going to be something

598
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: that surely helps out Sam Darnold as he enters his

599
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: third year in the NFL. Last season, he didn't have

600
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: too much protection and it hasn't had that much continuity

601
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: either when it comes to head coaches and offensive coordinators

602
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: during his time as a Jet. Yeah, and I would

603
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: agree with that they needed a revamped offensive line. They

604
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: were much the same as the Buffalo Bills were after

605
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: the twenty eighteen season where it was it was four

606
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: new lineman, four new starters for the Buffalo Bills as well,

607
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: So and it'll be interesting to see how fast they

608
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: can come together after this offseason. It would really seem

609
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: going into this week one matchup with the Jets that

610
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: the Bills should have the upper hand up front when

611
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: the Jets have the football because of the continuity the

612
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: defensive line, the upgrades in the interior end and the

613
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: end position for the Bills. Going against a starting five

614
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: for the Jets that just have not spent that much

615
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: time together, that looks to be someplace where the Bills

616
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: could maybe make some hay. Yeah, I think either side

617
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: of the ball, there's question marks for the Jets. And

618
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas, their GM, came out earlier this week on

619
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: a Zoom call and was pretty pissed off about the

620
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: low expectations that have been placed on the Jets. He said, look,

621
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: we don't live in a bubble. We see what people

622
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: are saying and it angers a lot of people. So

623
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to say, interesting to see if that

624
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: fuels what they put on the field on Sunday. But

625
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: they're without Jamal Adams. They lost Jamal Adams to a

626
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: trade there without c. J. Mosley who opted out there

627
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: without some other starters on their defense from last year.

628
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: So yes, Greg Williams is a mastermind when it comes

629
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: to looks, when it comes to exotic looks, when it

630
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: comes to throwing things at our offense that you might

631
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: not see. But I still think there's question marks on

632
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: the Jets defense as well as on the Jets offense.

633
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: They bring in several new wide receivers as well, so

634
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: it'll be truly intriguing to see how this matchup goes.

635
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: I was counting on their defensive line. They're three starters

636
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: that they have listed on their unofficial depth chart they

637
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: have they combined for six sacks last season. Yeah, good

638
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: run front, but yeah, they've got some work to do

639
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: in terms of the pass rush for sure. We're about

640
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: ten minutes into talking to you, Maddie, and we have

641
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: not mentioned Stefan Diggs. Obviously, Bills fans, that's probably the

642
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: number one guy on their list who they want to

643
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: see on Sunday, And all indications, at least from coaches

644
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: and from offensive and defensive players for that matter, is

645
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: the chemistry and his fit in this offense has been

646
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: nothing but natural. What can what can you tell us

647
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: about that? Yeah, it has been nothing but natural. I

648
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: think it really just goes back to the relationship building aspect,

649
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: which started long before they got to training camp in July.

650
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: This began over Zoom meetings in the early off season

651
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: when OTAs and mini camps were canceled. It continued through

652
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: those workouts that they had in Florida together, and then

653
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: it progressed onto video games that Josh Allen and Stefan

654
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: Diggs played together. I think that is a very important

655
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: part of this piece to the puzzle in their connection

656
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: that they've been able to make on the field. I

657
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: think it truly starts off the field, and it seems

658
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: like Stefan is very happy here watching him take reps

659
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,919
Speaker 1: during practice, watching him interact with his teammates. The guy

660
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 1: has a smile on his face quite a bit. And

661
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: the connection, the timing with Josh Allen. It may not

662
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 1: be where the two want it to be, considering that

663
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 1: they are dealing with a shortened offseason, but where it's

664
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 1: at right now, I would say it is pretty dank solid.

665
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: To watch some of those passes from Josh catches from

666
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: Stefan in training camp made me feel very confident in

667
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 1: what they can do come week one. I'm more excited

668
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: to see what will happen on Sunday because Josh said

669
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: their connection, their timing will only get better once the

670
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: two start watching film together, which they hadn't done. I

671
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: think about two weeks ago they were probably going to

672
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: start doing that. So I'm interested to see what this

673
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: revamped connection looks like when they take the field on Sunday.

674
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,720
Speaker 1: I surely think it's a missing piece to this offense's puzzle,

675
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: and I think the Jets defensive backs are going to

676
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,240
Speaker 1: have a tough time with him. You look at Bless

677
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: Austin and Pierre Desir, two of their cornerbacks that are

678
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: listed on the depth chart at that first team position

679
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: for cornerbacks, and Desir had three interceptions last year. He

680
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: came from the Colts, and bless Austin as someone who's

681
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: on the Jets last season, he only played in seven

682
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: games last year. Yeah, that's that was really the question

683
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: of the day is not so much about Stefan, Diggs

684
00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: and Josh Alma. What do you see from the Jets

685
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: and their defense. Greg Williams is known for his aggression

686
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: and he's got but he's only got so much to

687
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: work with there and a lot of unknowns going on.

688
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: What have you gleaned from what Sean McDermott has said,

689
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,240
Speaker 1: what the players have said about what they expect from

690
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 1: at least maybe the big picture of the Jets defense

691
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: with the way it's coordinated by Greg Williams. Yeah, and

692
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: Sean and Dawson Knox touched on this. Sean touched on

693
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: it today, Dawson Knox touched on it earlier this week,

694
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: and that they know what to expect from Greg Williams.

695
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: They know he is well respected in the league as

696
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: to how he runs a defense, as to how tough

697
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: their defense is to go up against with those looks

698
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: that he presents that most offenses wouldn't be used to seeing.

699
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: So they know it's going to be a tough matchup.

700
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: They know they're going to have to prepare to go

701
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: up against things they may not have seen before, and

702
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: especially in a season where they haven't seen any preseason

703
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: film on this twenty twenty Jets team. Yes, they have

704
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: players that they face last year, but altogether they don't

705
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: really have a picture of what this team is going

706
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: to look like this season, and there are some new

707
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: pieces on defense that will be starting, so they're going

708
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: to do what they can do. Sean said, We're going

709
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: to control our controllables. We still feel like we're in

710
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: a position to succeed and the position and that we

711
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: can do the adequate amount of film study. But yeah,

712
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: I think all teams are in a position where they

713
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: don't have the full picture on teams yet. Last one

714
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,879
Speaker 1: I've got for you, Maddie is with respect to Trudavius. Obviously, he's,

715
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: you know, the new recipient of that contract, already not

716
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: the highest paid cornerback in the league anymore after Jalen

717
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: Ramsey's deal with the Rams. But the thing I want

718
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: to touch on with you is how Trudevius said the

719
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: money will not change him as a player. You know,

720
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: as he gets ready for this twenty twenty season, I

721
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: just have this feeling that he is going to feel

722
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: even more compelled to excel and live up to the contract.

723
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: I'm just curious your thoughts on that. Yeah, I hope

724
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: he and he was asked of Okay, you know, you

725
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: get this big contract, you get this big deal, So

726
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: what type of Trey White is going to walk onto

727
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: the field on Sunday and he said, it's going to

728
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: be the same Tray White. It was always going to

729
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,280
Speaker 1: be the same Tray White. The money doesn't make a difference,

730
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: But I think he is, like you said, gonna want

731
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: to play up to the type of money he was

732
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: just given by the Bills. Now we saw Jalen Ramsey

733
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: and his huge contract that he got. Brandon probably feels

734
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,240
Speaker 1: great about locking that up early. But I'd be interested

735
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: to see how Trey White feels about the money that

736
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey got him. But this corner is the most

737
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 1: important part of this defense next to Tremaine Edmonds. I mean,

738
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: Trey White sets the tone. Trey White is the energizer

739
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: bunny on the field. Trey White is the leader of

740
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 1: this defense, and I think the defense plays up to him.

741
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: I think he wants to bring it this year. He

742
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 1: wants to take this team to places that it has

743
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: never been before. He was asked he was on a

744
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: par to My Take Barstool Sports podcast last week and

745
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: he was asked about what this team has done since

746
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: he's been on it, since Sean McDermott and Brandon Bean

747
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: have gotten to Buffalo, and he said, I'm a part

748
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: of that founding class, and I take it really seriously

749
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: how far we've come, and I'm going to take it

750
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,959
Speaker 1: very seriously with how far we can go. I don't

751
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: want this team to dip down at all. I don't

752
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: want us to start playing down to our opponents. I

753
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 1: want us to keep progressing and keep striving for championships. Yeah.

754
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: And one of the other things about it, when he

755
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: spoke to the media after signing that contract, the words

756
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: that he said, he was even way out ahead of this.

757
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: He realized, he said, for a minute, he goes, I

758
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: don't know how long it's gonna last. And he was

759
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: indeed profetting when he said, but I am the highest

760
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: paid posit cornerback in the National Football League, and that

761
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: was big to him, and it should be. It's a

762
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 1: lifelong accomplishment that came after a lot of sacrifice and

763
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: a lot of hard work. But you could get in

764
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: the totality of all of his comments, you could really

765
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: feel the genuine nature that it wasn't about the money

766
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: for him. It was about what he was gonna do

767
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: with the rest of his life after football, and what

768
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: he was gonna do with the things that football gave

769
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: him to begin with, and I thought it was pretty

770
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: telling that he knew that it was a great contract,

771
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: that he was going to be the highest paid cornerback,

772
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: and he knew also that it wasn't gonna he wasn't

773
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: going to be the highest paid cornerback in the NFL

774
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 1: for very long. He seemed to be way out ahead

775
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: of all the things that have happened just in the

776
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: last three days since he signed the deal. Yeah, it

777
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: was great to hear what he had to say. I mean,

778
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: those words that he spoke throughout that press conference, I

779
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: mean hit my heart. It was hard for me not

780
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: to tear up watching him talk about what that contentant

781
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: contract meant for him as well as his family members.

782
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,959
Speaker 1: He spoke about generational wealth and how something like that

783
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 1: can truly change his family four years. So I'm just

784
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: genuinely happy for that guy. He is such a great person,

785
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: as we know off the field. It's always fun to

786
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: talk to Trey and to interact with Trey, and I'm

787
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: just so excited that we have a play like him

788
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: on our team and that he was given the money

789
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: that he deserves. All Right, Mattie, we appreciate you filling

790
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: us in on the goings on a practice out there.

791
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: Keep an eye on things for us, and we'll look

792
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 1: for updates from you on Buffalo bills dot com with

793
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 1: the injury report later today. Appreciate it. Have a good

794
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: rest of your show, guys. All right, thank you. That's

795
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: Maddie Glab out on the practice field as the Bills

796
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 1: are at work and Roland right now. And as she mentioned,

797
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,839
Speaker 1: Josh Norman not practicing today, Taiwan Jones, coach said, would

798
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 1: be limited today. We'll see if there are any other

799
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: names on the injury report when it comes out later

800
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: this afternoon, and Maddie will be posting those names and

801
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: statuses on Buffalo bills dot com this afternoon. I just

802
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: look at where this team is going to be on Sunday.

803
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: I'm a little concerned about the cornerback position because Josh

804
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: Norman's not practicing. We saw Levi out there. He still

805
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 1: has the rap on his leg. Would think he's got

806
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,720
Speaker 1: to be on a pitch count today. You're not having

807
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace play three full segments of team at right

808
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: cornerback if that thing's still a little tender, right yeah,

809
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: right out of the gate, it looks like They're going

810
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: to be tested with their depth, and you don't want

811
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: two corners who are fragile holding down the one spot,

812
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And by by fragile, I

813
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: don't mean I just mean they're not completely healthy. Yeah,

814
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: and that is especially when you have soft tissue injuries

815
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 1: at a high impact position like that, right. And plus

816
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 1: it's not even a high impact, it's a it's a

817
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: high acceleration, high stack. Yeah. It's a lot of high stress. Yeah.

818
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: It puts a lot of stress on your legs. And

819
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: they've got to be ready to go if because they

820
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna be pressed pass where they've been pressed so

821
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: far this off season. They have not gonna go up

822
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:51,359
Speaker 1: another notch maybe two, and it's gonna stay there. It's

823
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: gonna stay there for three hours. So they've got to

824
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: be one hundred percent physically, and I'm sure that the

825
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: club is really sensitive to it. If not, Taran Johnson's

826
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: RANI are going to be called in action. Yeah, and

827
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: you're already a place where you didn't want to be

828
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 1: Week one, Terrence, your nickel Suran may have to play outside, right,

829
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,800
Speaker 1: if that comes to pass or vice versa, or Taran

830
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: goes out and Suran comes into Yeah, I would tend

831
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: to think you only use one, you know, don't change

832
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 1: change two positions to fix one. Leave Taran and the

833
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 1: nickel and tell Saran, hey, you got to play outside

834
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: this week. May have to go that way maybe, or

835
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,840
Speaker 1: maybe that they like a matchup better. Yeah, that's possibly,

836
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:29,879
Speaker 1: may want Tarn to follow a guy or something if

837
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: it comes to that. But yeah, that's all on the table.

838
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 1: But the problem is that's all on the table now

839
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: because you've got two guys that are not can't go.

840
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 1: So we'll see where that goes through the course of

841
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: the practice week, and we'll obviously know more on Thursday

842
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: and then on Friday when final statuses are listed for

843
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 1: the players and their availability for Sunday's game. Steve and

844
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: I have to take a break, but when we come back,

845
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: we'll get back to the Twitter poll. As we're asking

846
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: you where you see the Bills having the biggest, biggest

847
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: advantage in this game coming up against the Jets. All

848
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: coming up next. Here on One Bills Live, presented by

849
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:18,439
Speaker 1: Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio, Chris Brown,

850
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker, one Bills Live Here on a Wednesday, as

851
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 1: the Bills are hard at work repping the game plan

852
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,320
Speaker 1: out on the practice field for the Jets on Sunday,

853
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: and we do want to get to the tweet sheet

854
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:37,280
Speaker 1: as we are asking you there. Where will the Bills

855
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: have the most success against the Jets? Is it their

856
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: pass rush? Is it their passing game? Is it their

857
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: run game? Against what was a very stout defensive front

858
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,879
Speaker 1: for the Jets. Last year, they were second against the run.

859
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: So we want your input on that. You can either

860
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: hit us up at eight oh three fifty or one

861
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 1: eight fifty two five fifty, or you can hit us

862
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,399
Speaker 1: up on the tweet at one Bill's lives, so feel

863
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 1: free to do that. We lead things off with Nick,

864
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: who says, I like our defense as a whole against

865
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: their entire passing game. Darnold didn't look great against our

866
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: second team Week seventeen last year, and I think he'll

867
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,479
Speaker 1: look even worse against our starters, especially with limited wide

868
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 1: receiver options. I won't be surprised to see a defensive

869
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: touchdown this week. How about that. There's a bold prediction.

870
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: Very nice, Nick, and it's a good I agree. I

871
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: think this is a defense that's coming into this game

872
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 1: with a lot of continuity, despite the fact that they're

873
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 1: gonna have some significant contributors who have not played in

874
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: a game for this team. Quentin Jefferson, Mario Addison, Vernon Butler,

875
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:44,839
Speaker 1: AJ Panessa, AJ Klein, AJ Klein. There's some guys out

876
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: Jordan Josh, Josh Norman if he's indeed healthy and gets

877
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 1: back on the field, there's gonna be a lot of

878
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: moving parts. But they all do have a history in

879
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 1: this system and are all the type of player who

880
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 1: are veteran enough to know what's going on in the game.

881
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: In the moment's not going to be too big for them,

882
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: so I and they're going against an offensive line, as

883
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: we've been talking about, with still trying to fit itself together,

884
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: four new guys, and with no preseason, without a gad

885
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:17,800
Speaker 1: they've ever had a game, never had a scrimmage against

886
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: another team, never you know, and against a defense that

887
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: looks to be really, really good. We should mention that

888
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: one of the Jets reporters, Rich Simini, who works for ESPN,

889
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,879
Speaker 1: said the Jets should be at full strength and wide

890
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: receiver on Sunday, he just tweeted this as Breshad Perryman,

891
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 1: who's dealing with a knee injury, and rookie Denzel Mims,

892
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: who's coming back from a hamstring injury, are slated to

893
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: practice fully today after missing significant time in training camp.

894
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 1: Mims was hurt so early he didn't run a single

895
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: route in the offense live in a practice setting. So

896
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: best of luck with that. Like, how much are you

897
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: given that kid? I mean, you want to use him,

898
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,400
Speaker 1: but how much can you trust him when he's barely

899
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:09,240
Speaker 1: repped anything? Right? That's that's a tough Well how comfortable

900
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,759
Speaker 1: is he gonna feel? Well, that's what I'm saying, Like,

901
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: if you know he is just getting his feet wet here,

902
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 1: how much are you putting on that Kid's played on Sunday?

903
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: Not a whole lot. I'm thinking a package of plays.

904
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:21,879
Speaker 1: Maybe you have him on the field in the red

905
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 1: zone because he's at all you know target, I mean,

906
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:27,839
Speaker 1: or you're just gonna cut him loose and say, now

907
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: do what you can. If we have a miscommunication and

908
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 1: Darnold throws a pick six, oh well, like you can't

909
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 1: play that game. Yeah, it's so Nick might be on

910
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: the money here with a defensive touchdown this week, maybe maybe,

911
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 1: But I still think they're gonna they're gonna try and

912
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 1: get if a handle on what Mims does and does well,

913
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 1: they're gonna get a handle on what he can do,

914
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: and they're gonna give him a menu of plays that

915
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 1: are gonna accension to scale back menu though, right absolutely,

916
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 1: But you know, yeah, but the Bills don't know what

917
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: that's gonna be that his menu make. They have no

918
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: idea what he's gonna look like. They have no idea

919
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: what kind of matchup problem he's gonna be, if any.

920
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 1: And you gotta think the kid's got something under his

921
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,280
Speaker 1: hood or he doesn't go that high in the draft.

922
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: So you got to have some respect for him, no

923
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: question about it. You can check your you can check

924
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 1: game film from when he was in college. But I

925
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:23,359
Speaker 1: think this comes down to a game where it's about

926
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 1: and I And I'm saying this because I'm not saying

927
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: this just because we talked like this, you know, and

928
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: they talk like this in this building, But this is

929
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 1: all about the coaching staffs and the cultures because in

930
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 1: a game like this, and certainly you can we've said

931
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 1: what we're like about Greg Williams, and he's gonna he's

932
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 1: gonna bring he's gonna do a lot of exotic stuff

933
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 1: he's gonna do. He's gonna do a lot of exotic stuff.

934
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: He's also gonna do a lot of very vanilla stuff

935
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: making you think he's gonna do something exotic. He's gonna

936
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 1: do a lot of gamesmanship about the calls and then

937
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: what they look like before the snap as opposed to

938
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 1: after the snap. He's gonna do all of that as

939
00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:00,040
Speaker 1: he can as a coordinator. But I think this is

940
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: a game that is all about the coaching staffs and

941
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 1: their ability to get their players to execute what the

942
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: play is. That's called no matter what, no matter what.

943
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,399
Speaker 1: So you can go one of two directions. You can

944
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:19,399
Speaker 1: come in with you know, a menu that's you know,

945
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 1: four plays long and run them against every conceivable defense

946
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 1: and try and execute those four plays. Or you can

947
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,800
Speaker 1: come in and force the defense to try and adjust

948
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 1: to you. Like you go out and you spread everybody out.

949
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 1: You go five wide right away, then you go three

950
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: tight ends, one back, you know, or two back, you

951
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: know that kind of go heavy, and you go everything

952
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 1: in between. You shift and emotionally do all this window

953
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 1: dressing and stuff to try and get the defense to

954
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: be confused to leave somebody running wide open or leave

955
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 1: a gap of uncovered, so you can there's all of

956
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: that stuff is on the table. But I do think this,

957
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 1: both these clubs are going to have a menu plays

958
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 1: if they trust no matter what, and then they're gonna

959
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 1: have some things that they think might work and they

960
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 1: think might work against that scheme, and they're gonna try

961
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 1: and have those as ready as they can given whatever

962
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 1: limited capacities they have in reps and in experience and

963
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 1: all of that, and they may be more apt to

964
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: turn to those if they're on the wrong side of

965
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 1: the scoreboard. That's right, And it also tilts the field

966
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 1: a little bit in favor of the Buffalo Bills because

967
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: of the continuity. Again, Yep, there's a longer menu of stuff.

968
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 1: There's a longer menu of things that there's a ton

969
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 1: of guys on the at least in the offensive line,

970
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 1: in the skill set, the skill positions of the Bills,

971
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 1: a longer list of players who know what's going on

972
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,839
Speaker 1: in that offense. So that is when it comes down

973
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 1: to it, it's going to be all about being patient

974
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 1: and having your lights on because you're gonna run this

975
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 1: play and you think it's gonna work. Against this defense,

976
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: and you've got some adjustments if they change it up,

977
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 1: but there's no guarantees that you're gonna get a defense

978
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:57,359
Speaker 1: you have never seen before. So it comes down to

979
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:00,319
Speaker 1: the culture you've instilled, the ability of the player to

980
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: run a larger menu of plays effectively against a larger

981
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 1: number of unknown options on your the defense is going

982
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: to present. I really think this opening weekend is all

983
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 1: about the quality of your coaching staffs and the culture

984
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 1: you've created in your team. I really believe that it's not.

985
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:21,280
Speaker 1: I don't think it's as much about the star players

986
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 1: as it is about the schemes and the coaching staffs

987
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 1: and the culture. And we have to take a break here,

988
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:29,239
Speaker 1: but from the beginning of this pandemic and everything that

989
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: it canceled out, any coach you have spoken to or

990
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 1: that we have addressed or have interviewed between last March

991
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:43,800
Speaker 1: and now have all said the same thing. The teams

992
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: that have continuity with their head coach, offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator,

993
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: that have their systems all yeah, and players that have

994
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: their systems already established with their respective clubs are going

995
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 1: to be at an inherent advantage at the start of

996
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 1: this season. Because those other teams that are trying to

997
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 1: get up and running with new programs, Cleveland, the Giants,

998
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 1: you name the team with a new coach and a

999
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 1: new system. It's going to be an uphill battle for

1000
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,719
Speaker 1: them in the early going, just by virtue of the

1001
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 1: fact that you haven't repped what you do enough to

1002
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 1: expect it to work fluidly early in the season. It's

1003
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 1: just a fact, all right, Steve and I have to

1004
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 1: take a break. But when we come back, we will

1005
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,720
Speaker 1: hear from coach McDermott, who addressed the media earlier today.

1006
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 1: We're going to give you his comments on where he

1007
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 1: thinks things sit on the right side of the offensive line,

1008
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,439
Speaker 1: as he's got some puzzle pieces that he doesn't seem

1009
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 1: to mind to move around a little bit. So we'll

1010
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,919
Speaker 1: hear from him on that, and on Josh Allen as

1011
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 1: he is set to begin his third season as the

1012
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 1: Bill starter at quarterback. All of that and much more

1013
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: coming up next here on One Bill's Live, presented by

1014
00:52:49,719 --> 00:53:03,800
Speaker 1: Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radios radio network

1015
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: Sports Update. Your sports update from One Bill's Drive from

1016
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 1: the Bill's practice field. Josh Norman not practicing today as

1017
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 1: he's still dealing with a hamstring injury. Limited in practice

1018
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 1: today a special teams ace Taiwan Jones. The team's full

1019
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 1: injury report will be out later this afternoon. Head coach

1020
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott also not revealing definitively who will start at

1021
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 1: right guard and right tackle on his offensive line. McDermott

1022
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,360
Speaker 1: said in a press conference today, quote You'll see some

1023
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: different combinations out there. Cody four, Daryl Williams, and Tie

1024
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 1: and Secki are all interchangeable parts and we have confidence

1025
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:41,279
Speaker 1: in all those guys. End quote. Just days after Tradavious

1026
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:44,319
Speaker 1: White held the crown for highest paid defensive back in

1027
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 1: the NFL to Los Angeles Rams and Jalen Ramsey blew

1028
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 1: it out of the water with a five year, one

1029
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: hundred five million dollar extension for the cornerback, the largest

1030
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 1: contract ever for a corner Ramsey becomes the first defensive

1031
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 1: back in NFL history to sign a deal worth over

1032
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,879
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars, and his seventy one point two

1033
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:05,799
Speaker 1: million dollars at signing is the largest guarantee ever for

1034
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 1: a dB. Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier, who suffered a

1035
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 1: spinal cord injury while making a tackle way back in

1036
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen that initially left him unable to walk. Announced

1037
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 1: his retirement on Wednesday. Shazier posted a video earlier this

1038
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: morning confirming he's retiring from the game. Von Miller's twenty

1039
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:27,360
Speaker 1: twenty season could be over before it even begins. The

1040
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 1: multi time pro bowler in All Pro Bronco's pass rusher

1041
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 1: suffered a lower leg injury that is said to involve

1042
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:36,800
Speaker 1: a torn tendent. He's going to undergo another MRI in

1043
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 1: a second opinion to determine its severity. The team fears

1044
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:45,319
Speaker 1: the test could yield a potentially season ending diagnosis. Game

1045
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 1: two tonight in the Stanley Cup playoffs between the Islanders

1046
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 1: and the Lightning. The Lightning took a one oh series

1047
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:53,839
Speaker 1: lead after an eight two blowout winning Game one. New

1048
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 1: York looking to even that series Tonight face off set

1049
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 1: for eight PM, and finally, the Blue Jays and Yankees

1050
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 1: wrap up their series downtown at Salem Field. Following Toronto's

1051
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 1: two one win on Tuesday, the Yanks have now lost

1052
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 1: five straight. Can you say tailspin? Holy Cow? Yankees? What

1053
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: the heck are you guys doing? Killing me? I mean

1054
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 1: half the roster is on the injured list, but that's

1055
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:17,839
Speaker 1: another story for another day. Pitching hasn't been great either,

1056
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: especially in the bullpen. But we're here to talk football, Steve,

1057
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 1: and we do want to get to some of coach

1058
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:27,880
Speaker 1: McDermott's comments from his Zoom Call press conference with the

1059
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,799
Speaker 1: media today, which is, Hey, that's how this thing's going

1060
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,839
Speaker 1: to run all season long. Welcome to Zoom. You better

1061
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 1: like it or you're gonna be out of luck. Yeah,

1062
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: like it or not, that's what's what you're getting. But

1063
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 1: coach was admittedly tight lipped today, and this is kind

1064
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: of what we have seen from coach once we get

1065
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:49,440
Speaker 1: into regular season, you know, he's a little more he

1066
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:51,359
Speaker 1: plays things a little more close to the vest, which

1067
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 1: most coach most coaches do in the NFL. They don't

1068
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 1: want to give up anything. And as Steve and I

1069
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:59,800
Speaker 1: have mentioned, in this year more than any other, perhaps

1070
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 1: where you have literally no game film for anyone to

1071
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 1: see because you haven't played a preseason game. When coaches

1072
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 1: play at Vanilla to begin with, right, they don't even

1073
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:12,799
Speaker 1: have that to go on. I think coaches are going

1074
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:16,840
Speaker 1: to be even more inclined to give as little information

1075
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 1: as possible, and we saw that with coach today. We're

1076
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 1: kind of chuckling in here listening to he's not it's

1077
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:27,280
Speaker 1: not like he's say, you know, given a single word

1078
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:29,319
Speaker 1: or no, no, no no. And he's not as bad

1079
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 1: as Bill Belichick has been from they're not even in

1080
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 1: the same stratos. But you know, he replies to all

1081
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 1: the questions and just he was Yeah, he was general

1082
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:42,719
Speaker 1: with some of his comments, and you can completely understand that,

1083
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:44,919
Speaker 1: you know, he the right side of the offensive line

1084
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 1: is clearly something that he doesn't want the Jets to

1085
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 1: have a beat on going into this game, so that

1086
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 1: Greg Williams can scheme up some other crazy kind of

1087
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: look right to try to throw. It just forces them

1088
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,359
Speaker 1: to go back and watch more film. And if they're

1089
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:01,239
Speaker 1: watching film on all these guys, they can't watch all

1090
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:02,840
Speaker 1: the film on just the two guys that are going

1091
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:04,839
Speaker 1: to be there most of the time. And there's nothing

1092
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 1: that says and if if you look at it two

1093
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 1: ways as well, if you're the Jets, either either the

1094
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:12,840
Speaker 1: Bills haven't decided who it's going to be because nobody

1095
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:15,920
Speaker 1: has distinguished themselves, and so the right side of their

1096
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:18,120
Speaker 1: line is gonna stink because they don't have anybody that

1097
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 1: can play, let alone two guys. That's not the case here,

1098
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 1: or they're just doing it because they can, yeah, which

1099
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 1: I think is a little bit more likely. Yeah, So

1100
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 1: just to paint the picture a little more effectively here,

1101
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 1: we're going to let coach McDermott address and he was

1102
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 1: asked specifically, have you finalized who is going to be

1103
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 1: your right guard and your right tackle? Here was his answer.

1104
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 1: You know, you'll see different combinations out there today, but

1105
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: we're still working through it. I think the biggest thing

1106
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 1: you'll is, you know, with Cody and and Darryl and

1107
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 1: Ty just to name three, we've got, we've got interchangeable

1108
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 1: parts in a lot of ways there. So we'll just

1109
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: continue amount of the week we just want to have

1110
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 1: and I'm not holding back, Josh, I just want to

1111
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 1: have the best five out there. We've got confidence in

1112
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 1: all those guys. So you know, if if if he

1113
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 1: has confidence in all of those guys and he's just

1114
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 1: looking for the best combination, I suppose it's reasonable to

1115
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 1: say that apps in preseason games, maybe he doesn't want

1116
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 1: to put a stamp on who the starters are. This

1117
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 1: might go two or three games if this is if

1118
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: what coach is saying is accurate, even though he has

1119
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 1: confidence in those players, I think he still might be

1120
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 1: what you say, well, what does he have to figure out? Well?

1121
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:37,919
Speaker 1: I think what he has to figure out is how

1122
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 1: well does the right guard and right tackle that he

1123
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 1: puts on the field Sunday? How good do they play together?

1124
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 1: I think they have a good handle on what each

1125
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:48,720
Speaker 1: individual player can do. How well do they play together?

1126
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 1: I think that is what he and the offensive staff

1127
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:56,520
Speaker 1: feel that they want real game action to convince them of.

1128
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 1: I think they still want to gather some more information

1129
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 1: here and to turn what is the best two player

1130
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 1: combination over there? We know about this guy, we like

1131
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: this player. We know about this guy, we like this player.

1132
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 1: We think they're all capable of starting on the offensive line.

1133
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 1: But which two work best together? Maybe that's what what

1134
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 1: the hold up is here. And it's easy to say,

1135
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 1: you know, well, they like Cody Ford, they like Tian Secky,

1136
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 1: like Daryl Williams, Brian Winners, all of that. The problem

1137
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 1: is this, do you are they better with Cody forded

1138
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 1: guard and in Secki at tackle or Cody Ford at

1139
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 1: guard and Darryl Williams at tackle, or are they better

1140
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 1: with Cody Ford at right tackle and Daryl Williams at guard,

1141
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 1: Winners at guard, with Cody Ford at right tackle, or

1142
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 1: Brian Winters and Tian Secki at guard and tackle very quickly,

1143
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 1: you have a lot of different permutations, and even if

1144
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 1: they like certain combinations, they don't during a game that

1145
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 1: combination may come apart. You didn't get a chance to

1146
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 1: see him in live action and things just don't go

1147
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 1: the way you thought they would. Well, I mean, let's

1148
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 1: think about it. One real scrimmage in the stadium during

1149
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 1: training camp. That's real all you have to go on,

1150
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 1: and let's not forget this. While I think they know

1151
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 1: Cody Ford and Tie and Seki is a combination because

1152
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 1: that actually existed for a couple of games last year.

1153
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: They know what they'll have there. The unknown variables and

1154
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 1: how they work with the guys already on the roster

1155
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 1: is the question. How does Brian Winters work with Tie

1156
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 1: and Secki at tackle, Darryl Williams at tackle, how does

1157
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 1: Daryl Williams at tackle work with Cody Ford. I think

1158
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 1: those are the questions they want to answer, and they

1159
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 1: want to do that with game evidence. That's what this

1160
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:40,200
Speaker 1: is saying to me. They have not been shy about

1161
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:44,280
Speaker 1: rotating that side of the line during games and during

1162
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 1: the regular season. They've done it. They did it last

1163
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 1: year they platooned and Secki and Ford at right tackle.

1164
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 1: That's right, So you would anticipate their willingness to do

1165
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 1: it again. Now, some of the rotation had to do

1166
01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 1: within Secki's health at times, but also had to do

1167
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:04,280
Speaker 1: with that thing We've said. They're very good at player development.

1168
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 1: They will see how far they can take Cody forward

1169
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 1: in what position, and that has a lot to do

1170
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 1: with it as well, I'm sure. So they've got a

1171
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 1: ways to go, and there are some things they want

1172
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 1: to find out definitively before they make that call. Certainly,

1173
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 1: they got to start somebody on opening Day, but that

1174
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's going to stay that way throughout that

1175
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 1: first game in Week one, let alone throughout the entire

1176
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 1: regular season. Which also addressed the fact that Josh Allen

1177
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:31,240
Speaker 1: is now entering his third season as the starter at quarterback,

1178
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 1: and obviously there are a lot of expectations on what

1179
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: Josh can be this season. Some people are very high

1180
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 1: on him. I'm talking about outside observers. Now, some outside

1181
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 1: observers are very high on him, Others are still skeptical

1182
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:47,960
Speaker 1: of just what he can bring to the table. So

1183
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 1: here's coach mcdermot's take on the progress that Josh has

1184
01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 1: demonstrated entering season number three. Yeah, h Josh's ought to

1185
01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 1: a good start, you know. I thought in year from

1186
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:04,920
Speaker 1: year one to year two he improved in specific areas.

1187
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 1: Year two to year three again improved in other areas.

1188
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 1: And really appreciate his growth mindset. He's a humble young

1189
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:17,520
Speaker 1: man and a good teammate, and I think his best

1190
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:22,000
Speaker 1: football is in front of him. So I mean a

1191
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 1: lot of the same things that we've heard about Josh

1192
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: before from this coaching staff. So I'm not surprising in

1193
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 1: the least, but I think there are going to be

1194
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:32,840
Speaker 1: elements of his game that are going to open some

1195
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 1: eyes this year, not the least of which is the

1196
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:37,560
Speaker 1: deep ball accuracy. I don't think we're going to see

1197
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:39,800
Speaker 1: that a whole heck of a lot, because I think

1198
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:43,400
Speaker 1: this offense is going to stay on track by completing

1199
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:46,720
Speaker 1: the high percentage plays more than those deep balls. I'm

1200
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 1: not saying that Brian Dable and Josh Allen aren't going

1201
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 1: to take their shots. But I think the vast majority

1202
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 1: of how this offense is going to function and stay

1203
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:58,320
Speaker 1: on schedule is with the short to intermediate stuff, because

1204
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 1: they're just quite simply higher percent its place, right, and

1205
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 1: we've seen flashes of and I think one of the

1206
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 1: things about Josh is I was having a conversation with

1207
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 1: a friend of mine on the phone this morning. I

1208
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:11,040
Speaker 1: don't know if he's accurate. There are times when Josh

1209
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 1: throws the football through a coin slot. I mean, he's

1210
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 1: really accurate. There were a couple of throws even in

1211
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 1: the Houston game early on, even going to Duke Williams

1212
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 1: across across the middle, and he made some throws in

1213
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 1: that game that were phenomenally accurate. But then you also

1214
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 1: you see him throw it over the head or short

1215
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 1: or you know, you see him spray it around, and

1216
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 1: so the accuracy is in there to be had. He's

1217
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:37,440
Speaker 1: got to be more consistent on a throw to throw basis.

1218
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:39,560
Speaker 1: He's got to make sure that on every throw he

1219
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:42,640
Speaker 1: makes it count and his guy has a chance to

1220
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 1: come down with it. I think he has struggled with

1221
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 1: that at times. I think he gets into that mentality

1222
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 1: where he wants to win the game on that throw,

1223
01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 1: and I think it affects his throwing motion. I think

1224
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 1: it affects his footwork, and it certainly affects his mindset

1225
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:58,040
Speaker 1: once in a while, and that's the key to everything.

1226
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 1: So I think his comfort level in the pocket with

1227
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 1: the offense, with the players around him, are going to

1228
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:08,560
Speaker 1: take that edge off of him where he can relax

1229
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:11,600
Speaker 1: and make good throws. I think that's certainly the plan

1230
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 1: that you've got for him. But it comes down to him,

1231
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:18,480
Speaker 1: no question about it. And McDermott said it. His desire

1232
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 1: and his goal is about being better than he was yesterday,

1233
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 1: and it's about being as good as he can possibly

1234
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 1: be at the end of all this and getting their

1235
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:29,760
Speaker 1: step by step by step. And we'll see if that

1236
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:34,080
Speaker 1: all comes if he makes some more deposits into that

1237
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 1: account this season. So the Twitter poll, as we have

1238
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:40,760
Speaker 1: always tried to include you, the listeners, the viewers at

1239
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:44,600
Speaker 1: MSG in the show today, is where will the Bills

1240
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 1: have the most success against the Jets on Sunday A.

1241
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 1: Their past game against the Jets secondary b the run

1242
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:54,960
Speaker 1: game against their front which is without C. J. Mosley

1243
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:58,439
Speaker 1: and Patrick Owasso for that matter, or is it their bill.

1244
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 1: Is the Bills pass rush against the new look Jets

1245
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 1: O line and the other choices have made up some

1246
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 1: ground on the Bills passing game. I think the Bills

1247
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 1: passing games leading the way because people are most excited

1248
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:11,000
Speaker 1: about that to see it. They want to see it,

1249
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 1: and I think that's the exuberance is validated in the

1250
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 1: percentage of the vote because the Bills passing game versu.

1251
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:19,520
Speaker 1: The Jets secondary is getting more than half the vote

1252
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:23,240
Speaker 1: right now, but making a strong surge here in the

1253
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:26,160
Speaker 1: second hour of the show. Is the Bills pass rush

1254
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 1: versus the new Jets O line. And that's where I

1255
01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 1: came down when I voted in this poll. Steve, I

1256
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 1: just really think that this pass rush is going to

1257
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 1: be able to get home on Sam Darnold because of

1258
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 1: what we've been talking about, which is an offensive line

1259
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 1: that really hasn't had time to gel together due to

1260
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 1: the fact that there's no preseason and that you've got

1261
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:51,919
Speaker 1: four five guys that are brand new to one another. Well,

1262
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:54,480
Speaker 1: in the best case scenario for the Bills, they aren't.

1263
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:58,120
Speaker 1: They aren't communicating well, they aren't well schooled together, they

1264
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 1: don't have a relationship and a communication system that is

1265
01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 1: second nature to them just yet. And what that means

1266
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 1: is once in a while they have the yeah, and

1267
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 1: when you're in that state, you have the a tendency

1268
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:13,400
Speaker 1: to guys step to the wrong guy and leave unblocked

1269
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:15,840
Speaker 1: rushers coming right up the field. It's your quarterback, that's

1270
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 1: what you know. Miscommunications on the offensive line lead to certainly,

1271
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:22,000
Speaker 1: if their offensive line is better, and you gotta think

1272
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:24,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be better than it was a year ago,

1273
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:27,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to win some one on one matchups.

1274
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:28,840
Speaker 1: I mean, Beckton is going to be able to block

1275
01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:31,000
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes a lot of the time, and and Trent

1276
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:32,680
Speaker 1: Murphy's gonna be able to you know, have a hard

1277
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:35,800
Speaker 1: time getting through to the quarterback. But once in a

1278
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 1: while they will win one of those matters, even whether

1279
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 1: it's one of the defensive tackles or the defensive ends.

1280
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:43,960
Speaker 1: And if it's as we say it is where they're

1281
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:47,560
Speaker 1: gonna struggle to communicate and be well schooled in stunt

1282
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 1: pickups and that kind of thing, particularly at this speed,

1283
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 1: then you gotta then you got a chance to get

1284
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 1: a guy running free because they just flat make a

1285
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:59,080
Speaker 1: mental mistake and that's that's so you got two things

1286
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:02,120
Speaker 1: running for you. I think the Jets offensive line is

1287
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:04,480
Speaker 1: gonna be physically better than it was a year ago,

1288
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:09,120
Speaker 1: but so are the Bills. And I really think this

1289
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 1: defensive line is gonna recab it all year long. I

1290
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 1: think chance. I think they got a chance. But I

1291
01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:16,680
Speaker 1: also think that it's not gonna be like just a jailbreak.

1292
01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:19,400
Speaker 1: Every single pass play, not gonna get seventy two sacks

1293
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:21,920
Speaker 1: like the nineteen eighty four Bears defense dude, which is

1294
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:25,000
Speaker 1: still holds the record for most sacks season, seventy two sacks.

1295
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:30,080
Speaker 1: That's set. So anyway, there is that. But I do

1296
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:34,040
Speaker 1: have high expectations for this defensive line. But I don't.

1297
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:36,920
Speaker 1: And we've got one from the tweet sheet Tiffany Tiffany,

1298
01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:41,000
Speaker 1: and she usually is and I'm just gonna say she's

1299
01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 1: definitely on board with smart says the past. Tiffany says

1300
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:46,680
Speaker 1: the pass rush is gonna have a field day on Sunday.

1301
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:50,560
Speaker 1: She's gulping the kool aid. I can see a relentless

1302
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:52,440
Speaker 1: attack coming in at them in waves. We have way

1303
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:55,640
Speaker 1: too many top flight d D lineman for the Jets

1304
01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:57,520
Speaker 1: to handle. I feel for Darnell. He's going to have

1305
01:07:57,520 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 1: to spend some time in the ice tub post game.

1306
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:04,040
Speaker 1: I predict six sa Wow. Yeah, that would be a debut,

1307
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't it. Let's let's just pump the brakes just fore. Awesome.

1308
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 1: They did that against Cam Newton back in twenty seventeen.

1309
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:13,440
Speaker 1: Remember that they sacked them six times. That was mcdermot's

1310
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:16,680
Speaker 1: second game. They sacked Cam Newton six times. Let's I

1311
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:19,080
Speaker 1: know we're talking like three years in the rear. Let's,

1312
01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:21,439
Speaker 1: you know, pump the brakes just for a minute. Why

1313
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 1: this is Yeah, let's have some fun, man, dial it

1314
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:29,000
Speaker 1: up right. The Jets are not gonna go winless. They're

1315
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:31,200
Speaker 1: gonna bring it and they're gonna play well. And the

1316
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:35,439
Speaker 1: Bills are a good football team. They're deep. But six

1317
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:38,479
Speaker 1: sacks is a lot for anybody, even on opening day. Now,

1318
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 1: certainly there are some factors that make you think some

1319
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:43,240
Speaker 1: of these things may happen. I would predict, and I

1320
01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:45,760
Speaker 1: don't know if it's gonna happen for the Bills Jets game,

1321
01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:48,120
Speaker 1: but I think there's gonna be some games around the

1322
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:53,880
Speaker 1: National Football League that get way out of whack, way

1323
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 1: out of whack. Because certain that there are certain teams

1324
01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:59,559
Speaker 1: that just don't have at him to adjust on game

1325
01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:01,639
Speaker 1: day the way they need to adjust on game day.

1326
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:05,200
Speaker 1: He got five new head coaches in the league, a

1327
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:08,759
Speaker 1: bunch of new coordinators and a lot and some teams

1328
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:11,840
Speaker 1: like Buffalo, like even New England with all their moving parts,

1329
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:14,600
Speaker 1: they've got some continuity there in a way of developing

1330
01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:16,720
Speaker 1: their team. That's going to give them a chance to win.

1331
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:22,640
Speaker 1: Teams like that, to me have a shot to do

1332
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:28,000
Speaker 1: really well. Teams like New Orleans, like the San Francisco,

1333
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:32,200
Speaker 1: like Seattle, even Denver, who's now going to have a

1334
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:36,240
Speaker 1: year at Kansas City. Certainly even Houston with the subtractions

1335
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:39,280
Speaker 1: from their roster. I think they've got some continuity in

1336
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:41,000
Speaker 1: a way of doing business. It's going to give them

1337
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:45,680
Speaker 1: some feeling of continuity. Jacksonville will probably play better in

1338
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:47,120
Speaker 1: the first month of the season. A lot of people

1339
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:49,840
Speaker 1: will give them credit for even though their rosters, you know,

1340
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:52,720
Speaker 1: they've kind of been accused of tanking. They're running the

1341
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:55,160
Speaker 1: same systems, they've got the same thing going on. They're

1342
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:57,799
Speaker 1: not gonna they're not gonna derail go off the rails.

1343
01:09:57,800 --> 01:10:00,760
Speaker 1: But teams like Carolina, Matt Rules, a college guy coming

1344
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:04,479
Speaker 1: in certainly a great leader. Joe Judge getting it together,

1345
01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:11,160
Speaker 1: Vint Kevin Stefanski is another one. Even Ron Rivera in

1346
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:13,559
Speaker 1: a new place in Washington trying to has been a

1347
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:16,559
Speaker 1: little fouled up, which yeah, they had, they hadn't safely

1348
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:18,920
Speaker 1: say that he had a long way to go when

1349
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 1: he took over, even though he's a head coach and

1350
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:23,160
Speaker 1: have been a head coach for a long time. So

1351
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:24,800
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some teams, and I think in this

1352
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:26,960
Speaker 1: first weekend that are going to get out of whack.

1353
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:30,800
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't count on it being the Jets and

1354
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:33,960
Speaker 1: the Bills. The two teams with some continuity the coaching level,

1355
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 1: and it's a division game that where these teams know

1356
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:40,880
Speaker 1: each other really well play. It's usually a pretty tightly

1357
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:45,040
Speaker 1: contested game. It's rarely a blowout between these two teams

1358
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 1: unless one of them is just I'll make having a

1359
01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:51,000
Speaker 1: god awful day. I'll make a quick prediction on one

1360
01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 1: of the games that I saw in that he's going

1361
01:10:52,439 --> 01:10:55,320
Speaker 1: down the list of games like that. I think the

1362
01:10:55,600 --> 01:11:00,360
Speaker 1: San Diego not San Diego, the lah Chargers and the

1363
01:11:00,439 --> 01:11:06,160
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals game. Chargers defense is is real and they're

1364
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:10,599
Speaker 1: playing against Joe Burrow. I just I just think that's

1365
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:12,639
Speaker 1: one of those games where it might be a zero,

1366
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:16,080
Speaker 1: a goose egga wow for Cincinnati shut out. I think

1367
01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:18,320
Speaker 1: they could do that. I just there's gonna be some

1368
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:21,280
Speaker 1: of that stuff going around. I think, Uh, the game

1369
01:11:21,320 --> 01:11:24,320
Speaker 1: I'm really intrigued to watch is the Tampa Bay game

1370
01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:27,880
Speaker 1: against New Orleans. I think that's Yeah. How ready are

1371
01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:31,080
Speaker 1: are the Bucks? Yeah? How ready? How how's it gonna look? Now?

1372
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 1: BA Bruce arians he'll have him ready and he's gonna

1373
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:38,280
Speaker 1: have a plan that's gonna work. But let me tell

1374
01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:41,880
Speaker 1: you something, Sean Payton and Drew Brees have never gotten

1375
01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:44,280
Speaker 1: enough credit for the things they do offen. Their defense

1376
01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:49,120
Speaker 1: is underrated. If the Saints are legit contenders and have

1377
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:51,920
Speaker 1: been for the last what three years, well ten years,

1378
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:53,599
Speaker 1: I mean they went, they won the Super even ever

1379
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:56,840
Speaker 1: since they got to the Super Bowl couple of years,

1380
01:11:56,840 --> 01:12:00,439
Speaker 1: that is the miracle, the bad call again the Ram,

1381
01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:03,519
Speaker 1: the no call in the Rams game. That's last year

1382
01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:06,680
Speaker 1: against the Vikings on a last second touchdown unbelieved. It

1383
01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:11,360
Speaker 1: was a questionable push off three one play outs that

1384
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:14,800
Speaker 1: cost them their season. And otherwise they're looking at a

1385
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:18,240
Speaker 1: run of success that is that is pretty staggering and

1386
01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:21,519
Speaker 1: they're still there. Yeah, we should mention the tweet sheets

1387
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:24,080
Speaker 1: brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment

1388
01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:26,639
Speaker 1: moving company of the Buffalo Bills. From Jack, he says

1389
01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:29,519
Speaker 1: passing attack should have success against the secondary that lost

1390
01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 1: its best player in Adams and his inexperienced at corner.

1391
01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:35,880
Speaker 1: If Josh isn't too jittery or plays gunshy, the Bills

1392
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:37,840
Speaker 1: should attack and go for the throat through the air

1393
01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:42,679
Speaker 1: early and often. Now, we did see a unique approach.

1394
01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 1: We did see a unique approach by Brian Dable last

1395
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:51,120
Speaker 1: year in the season opener. He spread the field but

1396
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:53,360
Speaker 1: had a fullback on the field and a running back

1397
01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:55,839
Speaker 1: I believe, so he was in like twenty one personnel

1398
01:12:55,840 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 1: and then he went five wide. He also went no huddle. Yeah,

1399
01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:03,080
Speaker 1: he also and while the games were minimal, they did

1400
01:13:03,160 --> 01:13:06,719
Speaker 1: stay on the field and points were minimal. Unfortunately, also

1401
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:08,560
Speaker 1: in terms of cashing in once you got down in

1402
01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:10,720
Speaker 1: the red area, the red zone offense was left a

1403
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:14,400
Speaker 1: lot be desired in the season this year, I really do.

1404
01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:20,120
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued to see what they unveil on Sunday, because,

1405
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:24,439
Speaker 1: as you and I have discussed this week already. They

1406
01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:27,479
Speaker 1: want to use some things that they know haven't been seen,

1407
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:30,200
Speaker 1: but they don't want to use everything because they want

1408
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:33,120
Speaker 1: to leave some stuff in their back pocket for week two,

1409
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:36,559
Speaker 1: Week five, week eight, week ten. You know, they want

1410
01:13:36,560 --> 01:13:38,240
Speaker 1: to hold on to some of those things. You don't

1411
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:40,800
Speaker 1: want to play all your cards in week one and

1412
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:43,560
Speaker 1: then you got no Trump cards left, you know what

1413
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:45,880
Speaker 1: I mean, Like, you don't want to do that. So

1414
01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:48,920
Speaker 1: I think they have to just pick and choose from

1415
01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:50,800
Speaker 1: maybe some of the new elements of their offense that

1416
01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:54,720
Speaker 1: they think are are going to run at a high

1417
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:57,719
Speaker 1: rate of efficiency based on who they're playing this week,

1418
01:13:58,120 --> 01:14:00,920
Speaker 1: and go from there. And it comes down to I

1419
01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:03,479
Speaker 1: said it earlier and I'll say it again. The coaching

1420
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:06,200
Speaker 1: staffs are on it. They gotta be on it this week.

1421
01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:10,760
Speaker 1: It is the most difficult game probably in a lot

1422
01:14:10,800 --> 01:14:13,519
Speaker 1: of their careers to prepare for. Forget about facing a

1423
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:15,800
Speaker 1: great team perhaps that you've you know, if a team

1424
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:17,720
Speaker 1: that's headed the Super Bowl is playing great and doing

1425
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:20,040
Speaker 1: all that. This is a game that is all about

1426
01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:23,840
Speaker 1: what you're gonna look like, not knowing what the other

1427
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:27,000
Speaker 1: team is gonna look like. It's all about the coaching

1428
01:14:27,040 --> 01:14:30,200
Speaker 1: and preparation. You're gonna win the Bills. If they indeed

1429
01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:35,639
Speaker 1: win this game, they're gonna do it this week, leading

1430
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:38,280
Speaker 1: from now till Saturday. They're gonna win this game from

1431
01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:40,320
Speaker 1: now till Saturday, and how they get ready to play

1432
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:41,880
Speaker 1: on the field, and the same with the Jets. The

1433
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:44,800
Speaker 1: Jet this game is gonna be won in the ten

1434
01:14:44,920 --> 01:14:48,800
Speaker 1: days leading up to it, and on game day we'll

1435
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:52,040
Speaker 1: see if they worked the right way and the way

1436
01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:54,599
Speaker 1: that gave them the best chance. Otherwise, when you get

1437
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:58,439
Speaker 1: out there, there's so many unknowns you're gonna be You're

1438
01:14:58,439 --> 01:15:00,320
Speaker 1: gonna be dropped in the middle of the Pacific Goshen

1439
01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:02,840
Speaker 1: with no life jacket. Yeah, all right, Steve and I

1440
01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:04,559
Speaker 1: have to take a break. But when we come back,

1441
01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:08,040
Speaker 1: it might be time for a little lunch. Steve, let's go.

1442
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:10,919
Speaker 1: I might have to see what's for lunch when we return.

1443
01:15:11,479 --> 01:15:13,600
Speaker 1: It's that thing you pick off the menu. Steve and

1444
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:17,639
Speaker 1: I will be doing that, which is obviously football centric

1445
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:19,720
Speaker 1: in nature, but we'll have some fun with that when

1446
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:22,559
Speaker 1: we return. Here on one Bills Live presented by Kalida Health,

1447
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:41,040
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Halfway through a Wednesday edition

1448
01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:43,479
Speaker 1: of One Bill's Live Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you,

1449
01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:47,799
Speaker 1: and it is that time in the program, Steve where

1450
01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:56,040
Speaker 1: we ask what's four lunch? It is that time where

1451
01:15:56,080 --> 01:16:02,240
Speaker 1: we present two items on the menu and we one sweet.

1452
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:05,280
Speaker 1: I'm really perplexed by our graphics for this. For our

1453
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:07,759
Speaker 1: MSG viewers. We have a chicken wing and a fish

1454
01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:10,560
Speaker 1: sandwich with like a fish that is not filted, is

1455
01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:13,880
Speaker 1: not dead in any way, shape or form. It's a

1456
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:16,000
Speaker 1: head and a tail sticking out of two pieces of bread.

1457
01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:20,240
Speaker 1: Everybody's got their own taste and that is not for me.

1458
01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:24,960
Speaker 1: So in any event, number one on the menu, Let's

1459
01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:29,040
Speaker 1: see what's for lunch. Who's in the hotter coaching seat?

1460
01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:35,280
Speaker 1: Is it Adam Gasee or Doug Morone. That's not an

1461
01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:39,320
Speaker 1: easy one, by the way, I would say Adam Gasee

1462
01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:42,120
Speaker 1: because of the history we have with the New York

1463
01:16:42,200 --> 01:16:46,719
Speaker 1: Jets and the churning nature of their coaching staffs and

1464
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:50,880
Speaker 1: the level of expectations that were pinned on him to

1465
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:56,000
Speaker 1: get the most out of Sam Garnel and the impatience

1466
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:57,760
Speaker 1: not only the front office and the churning that goes on,

1467
01:16:57,840 --> 01:17:00,879
Speaker 1: but also with the fans. I think there are higher

1468
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:05,519
Speaker 1: expectations in New York than there are in Jacksonville. Now,

1469
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:08,960
Speaker 1: for Doug Maron, certainly they have higher expectation, but he

1470
01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 1: got them to the championship game with a team. That

1471
01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:18,439
Speaker 1: team is a shell of and now they've gutted that roster,

1472
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:22,400
Speaker 1: and I don't know how much they can justify handing

1473
01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:25,439
Speaker 1: him that bag to hold now that they've gutted the

1474
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:28,320
Speaker 1: roster around him. I think that Doug Marone has built

1475
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:33,559
Speaker 1: in excuses for sure. The expectations are not high. They're

1476
01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:36,439
Speaker 1: in a very tough division and most people have picked

1477
01:17:36,479 --> 01:17:39,160
Speaker 1: them to wind up in the basement. Not that it's

1478
01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:41,560
Speaker 1: been terribly different for where the Jets are expected to

1479
01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 1: end up in the AFC East, And I agree with you.

1480
01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:47,320
Speaker 1: I think expectations are higher in New York, and the

1481
01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:50,479
Speaker 1: criticism is more fervent in New York than it is

1482
01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:54,559
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. And the Sharks will be circling quickly on

1483
01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:58,120
Speaker 1: Adam Gase, who also, by the way, was not hired

1484
01:17:58,200 --> 01:18:01,600
Speaker 1: by this general manager. Joe Douglas is not beholden to

1485
01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:04,559
Speaker 1: Adam Gas. He got there after Gas was already on board.

1486
01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:08,759
Speaker 1: At least Moron was hired by David Caldwell, the GM

1487
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:12,240
Speaker 1: and Jacksonville, so that might afford him a little more rope.

1488
01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:15,120
Speaker 1: But I could very easily see one of these guys

1489
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:18,760
Speaker 1: no longer coaching before the seasons even over, I mean,

1490
01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:20,640
Speaker 1: either one of the I would put these two at

1491
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:24,040
Speaker 1: the top of the list, right top of the list.

1492
01:18:24,120 --> 01:18:27,599
Speaker 1: It's a race that neither one wants to win. That's right,

1493
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:31,519
Speaker 1: all right? Also, what's for lunch, Steve? Would you rather

1494
01:18:31,640 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 1: have Jadeveon Clowney who just signed with Tennessee or Yannick

1495
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:41,479
Speaker 1: and Gockway who just got traded to Minnesota from the

1496
01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:47,160
Speaker 1: aforementioned Jacksonville roster. That's a really good question. Jadeveon Clowney

1497
01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:50,320
Speaker 1: is probably as physically gifted a pass rusher as you've

1498
01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:58,760
Speaker 1: seen since Julius Peppers or Mario Williams. Maybe they've got

1499
01:18:58,760 --> 01:19:01,360
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett in Cleveland is a little bit down that road.

1500
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:03,960
Speaker 1: These guys are just supremely gifted athletes. I don't know

1501
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:06,840
Speaker 1: that in Gockway. He's gifted, no question, but I don't

1502
01:19:06,840 --> 01:19:13,400
Speaker 1: know that he fits that kind of freakish gift. Jadeveon

1503
01:19:13,479 --> 01:19:21,240
Speaker 1: Clowney is is a big, fast, incredibly gifted athlete, but

1504
01:19:23,200 --> 01:19:29,759
Speaker 1: he's headed towards his now third team, fourth team Houston

1505
01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:35,120
Speaker 1: Seattle and now to Tennessee. There's a reason for that

1506
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:42,000
Speaker 1: in Gockway, I think to me, I sense that in

1507
01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:45,840
Speaker 1: Gockway didn't like what was going on in Jacksonville and

1508
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:49,960
Speaker 1: wanted out. I don't know that. Yeah, I think they

1509
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:53,240
Speaker 1: sense that it was no fun to be a pro

1510
01:19:53,320 --> 01:19:57,040
Speaker 1: football player in Jacksonville and got out. And I think

1511
01:19:57,160 --> 01:20:00,479
Speaker 1: so for me, I think in Gockway right now is

1512
01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:03,840
Speaker 1: probably more motivated and in a better place in his

1513
01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:08,240
Speaker 1: career than Jadeveon Clowney. To me, i'd say, I'd say

1514
01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:11,400
Speaker 1: in Goayway, and I would probably go that way too.

1515
01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:15,760
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't know that he's a model teammate either,

1516
01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 1: But to me, Clowney is a guy that I'm not

1517
01:20:20,360 --> 01:20:24,000
Speaker 1: one hundred percent convinced plays football because he loves it.

1518
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:26,360
Speaker 1: I think he plays football because he's good at it

1519
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:28,840
Speaker 1: and can make a lot of money doing it. I

1520
01:20:28,840 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 1: don't think deep in his soul he lives and breathes football.

1521
01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:36,960
Speaker 1: I think he doesn't have it here and I'd rather

1522
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:39,280
Speaker 1: have a guy that has it here. And I think

1523
01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:41,839
Speaker 1: in Gockway, while he might not be perfect. Is closer

1524
01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:45,760
Speaker 1: to that than Clowney is. So that's where I'm going.

1525
01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:50,439
Speaker 1: All right, So who would be more productive for the Ravens?

1526
01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:54,559
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown or Dez Bryant, two receivers that have been

1527
01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:57,360
Speaker 1: linked as possibilities for the Ravens. This is a no

1528
01:20:57,479 --> 01:21:03,639
Speaker 1: brainer for me. It's Antonio Brown. Des Bryant is done

1529
01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:06,080
Speaker 1: to me? Kind of production are we talking about here?

1530
01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:10,120
Speaker 1: Headlines are racing on the field, Well, I'm talking about

1531
01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:12,040
Speaker 1: on the field. For I think there's no question it

1532
01:21:12,040 --> 01:21:17,720
Speaker 1: would be Antonio Brown. He is very gifted and has

1533
01:21:17,720 --> 01:21:20,040
Speaker 1: still got a lot in the tank. Des Bryant further

1534
01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:23,880
Speaker 1: down the road, been out of it for longer. Yeah,

1535
01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:28,240
Speaker 1: I think it's Antonio Brown, no question. This is pretty easy.

1536
01:21:28,360 --> 01:21:32,040
Speaker 1: I don't think des Bryant is an NFL caliber receiver anymore.

1537
01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:37,760
Speaker 1: M Yeah, he doesn't come close to what Antonio Brown

1538
01:21:37,840 --> 01:21:39,840
Speaker 1: can do. Whether Antonio Brown can ever get his head

1539
01:21:39,880 --> 01:21:41,680
Speaker 1: on straight is a completely other story. But in terms

1540
01:21:41,720 --> 01:21:43,519
Speaker 1: of pure talent and what they can bring to an offense,

1541
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:47,400
Speaker 1: it's Antonio Brown all day long. Okay, team's more likely

1542
01:21:47,479 --> 01:21:52,000
Speaker 1: to improve in twenty twenty the Lions or the Cowboys.

1543
01:21:55,720 --> 01:21:58,600
Speaker 1: This is not an easy likely to improve the So

1544
01:21:58,640 --> 01:22:02,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys underachieved clearly last year and missed the playoffs.

1545
01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:07,240
Speaker 1: The Lions only had four wins. The Lions are in

1546
01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:12,760
Speaker 1: a weak division, fourth place skilled the Cowboys, Well, yeah,

1547
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:17,320
Speaker 1: I guess that's true too. Um, the Cowboys were what

1548
01:22:17,439 --> 01:22:26,639
Speaker 1: they were. I gotta say probably the Detroit Lions. Um,

1549
01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:29,479
Speaker 1: I would say they're probably gonna protect Matt Stafford a

1550
01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:34,480
Speaker 1: little better. I think Matt Patricia's smart enough. Yeah. Oh gosh,

1551
01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:37,680
Speaker 1: so nine to seven or five and eleven. No, I

1552
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:40,839
Speaker 1: think the Detroit's gonna win five and eleven more easily.

1553
01:22:40,840 --> 01:22:42,680
Speaker 1: Get to five and eleven, then the Cowboys will get

1554
01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:46,000
Speaker 1: to nine and seven. Okay, so you're expecting it too.

1555
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:48,000
Speaker 1: I think they're both. I think they're both gonna win.

1556
01:22:48,360 --> 01:22:52,200
Speaker 1: That's marginal improvement, I know. I mean, you went from

1557
01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:58,280
Speaker 1: sucky to slightly less sucky. What are we doing in Detroit?

1558
01:22:58,360 --> 01:23:00,200
Speaker 1: Which one's more likely? I gotta tell you. I feel

1559
01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:02,599
Speaker 1: so bad for Matthew Stafford. I really do. I do too.

1560
01:23:03,240 --> 01:23:11,720
Speaker 1: You know there's three guys. I feel sorry for Barry Sanders, Megatron, yeah,

1561
01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:14,960
Speaker 1: and Matthew Stafford. About Herman Moore and Herban Herban Moore

1562
01:23:15,160 --> 01:23:17,800
Speaker 1: throw him in there. I just think there's a there's

1563
01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:20,760
Speaker 1: a ton of guys that came through that organization who

1564
01:23:22,479 --> 01:23:27,200
Speaker 1: never even got a whiff. I think of team success,

1565
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:34,160
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys will do more than the Lions

1566
01:23:34,240 --> 01:23:36,519
Speaker 1: in terms of winning. And yeah, I think there'll be

1567
01:23:36,520 --> 01:23:38,960
Speaker 1: a playoff team this year. That's the thing. So I

1568
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:40,960
Speaker 1: will just I will go that route because I think

1569
01:23:40,960 --> 01:23:43,880
Speaker 1: they will have more success. I think both will improve,

1570
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:46,240
Speaker 1: but I think the Cowboys will have more success. I

1571
01:23:46,280 --> 01:23:49,599
Speaker 1: think that's I think so too. So if they both

1572
01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:51,880
Speaker 1: improved by one win, the Cowboys could get in the

1573
01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:54,080
Speaker 1: playoffs with a nine and seven and that did you

1574
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:57,360
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Because there's seven teams in the playoffs, right,

1575
01:23:57,439 --> 01:24:01,559
Speaker 1: So by that standard, I think you're probably right. I

1576
01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:04,560
Speaker 1: think it's probably the Cowboys will probably be more successful.

1577
01:24:05,439 --> 01:24:07,480
Speaker 1: I don't know which one's going to be more improved

1578
01:24:07,479 --> 01:24:09,360
Speaker 1: than they were a year ago. Let's take it a

1579
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:14,200
Speaker 1: step further here, last one, for what's for lunch, how

1580
01:24:14,240 --> 01:24:16,840
Speaker 1: many one thousand yard receivers will the Cowboys have in

1581
01:24:16,840 --> 01:24:21,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, two or three, Because let's not forget

1582
01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:28,639
Speaker 1: they drafted Ceedee Lamb, they have Michael Gallup, Annamari Cooper. Okay,

1583
01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:30,479
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb is not going to get a thousand yards.

1584
01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:32,400
Speaker 1: I don't think so either, but not as a rookie.

1585
01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:35,680
Speaker 1: That's hard. It's hard to. It's hard to, especially when

1586
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:37,880
Speaker 1: you're not the one or two options, especially when you're

1587
01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:39,400
Speaker 1: in Dallas and you got a little bit more going

1588
01:24:39,439 --> 01:24:42,639
Speaker 1: on off the field. He's gonna be completely distracted, even

1589
01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:46,120
Speaker 1: in COVID. Okay, I just think it's hard enough to

1590
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:48,320
Speaker 1: It's hard enough to find your way in this world,

1591
01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:52,960
Speaker 1: let alone when you're rich and famous in a place

1592
01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:55,360
Speaker 1: like Dallas with the Cowboys. I just think he's gonna

1593
01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:58,920
Speaker 1: be just his mind's gonna explode when this thing takes off.

1594
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:02,000
Speaker 1: It So I think Ceedee Lamb is he'll be a contributor.

1595
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:03,920
Speaker 1: But there's no way he gets a thousand I don't

1596
01:25:03,920 --> 01:25:06,639
Speaker 1: say no way, but it's gonna be hard. It's unlikely.

1597
01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:09,439
Speaker 1: So I'll say too. Yeah, I was gonna say too,

1598
01:25:09,439 --> 01:25:12,320
Speaker 1: because I think Gallup is a very underrated receiver and

1599
01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 1: I think he could get to a thousand yards. The

1600
01:25:14,439 --> 01:25:16,280
Speaker 1: only reason I say it's not about Ceedee Lamb, it's

1601
01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:18,360
Speaker 1: about where he's at. I mean, he's a rookie coming

1602
01:25:18,400 --> 01:25:22,960
Speaker 1: in playing for the Dallas Cowboys. Yeah, that's hard. That's

1603
01:25:22,960 --> 01:25:25,320
Speaker 1: a hard season to go through. Yeah, all right, that

1604
01:25:25,439 --> 01:25:28,040
Speaker 1: is what's for lunch, So we hope you enjoyed that

1605
01:25:28,160 --> 01:25:30,559
Speaker 1: as we made some choices on the menu there. We

1606
01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:32,680
Speaker 1: will take a break, but when we come back, we'll

1607
01:25:32,720 --> 01:25:35,120
Speaker 1: get back to the tweet sheet and don't forget coming

1608
01:25:35,160 --> 01:25:37,080
Speaker 1: up in the two o'clock hour, we will have one

1609

Speaker 1: from the Seneca Studios in Orchard Park, as practice is

Speaker 1: this afternoon. Stay tuned to Buffalo Bills dot com for

1622
01:26:28,880 --> 01:26:32,120
Speaker 1: that and Steve and I have been discussing a number

1623
01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:36,320
Speaker 1: of topics, but we've been also discussing the Twitter poll, which,

1624
01:26:36,360 --> 01:26:39,760
Speaker 1: for those of you who are just joining us, is

1625
01:26:39,840 --> 01:26:43,080
Speaker 1: dealing with the matchup this weekend between the Bills and

1626
01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:45,720
Speaker 1: the Jets, and where will the Bills have the most

1627
01:26:45,760 --> 01:26:49,960
Speaker 1: success against that team from New York and leading the

1628
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:52,400
Speaker 1: way in the poll was the Bills passing game against

1629
01:26:52,439 --> 01:26:56,160
Speaker 1: the Jets secondary, but not terribly far behind was Buffalo's

1630
01:26:56,160 --> 01:26:59,200
Speaker 1: pass rush against that brand new offensive line that the

1631
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:02,360
Speaker 1: Jets will be on display on Sunday. But we go

1632
01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:04,040
Speaker 1: to the tweet sheet, which is brought to you by

1633
01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:08,439
Speaker 1: Corrigan Moving Systems and from Caleb. He says, I feel

1634
01:27:08,439 --> 01:27:10,400
Speaker 1: like the Bills will do a pretty good job at

1635
01:27:10,479 --> 01:27:13,280
Speaker 1: running the ball and getting motors some yards. Obviously, I

1636
01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:15,680
Speaker 1: think they're gonna go pass heavy, but I think we're

1637
01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:19,479
Speaker 1: gonna run the ball a lot this season. I'd be

1638
01:27:19,479 --> 01:27:21,439
Speaker 1: pretty darn happy if they can run the ball against

1639
01:27:21,439 --> 01:27:24,720
Speaker 1: this front, because very quietly, this was a defensive front

1640
01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:26,760
Speaker 1: to finish second in the league against the run. Now,

1641
01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:29,160
Speaker 1: part of the reason for that was because teams could

1642
01:27:29,200 --> 01:27:31,240
Speaker 1: throw all over the yard against them because their secondary

1643
01:27:31,280 --> 01:27:35,320
Speaker 1: wasn't even good last year, but even with Jamal Adams.

1644
01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:38,480
Speaker 1: But they do have some stout guys up there. McClendon

1645
01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:41,400
Speaker 1: is a great tackle. Quinnon Williams, their first round pick

1646
01:27:41,439 --> 01:27:44,360
Speaker 1: from a year ago, looks like a stud in the making,

1647
01:27:44,360 --> 01:27:46,559
Speaker 1: although he had a little bit of a rocky rookie season.

1648
01:27:47,040 --> 01:27:49,800
Speaker 1: So they've got some guys up there, even though they've

1649
01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:52,280
Speaker 1: traded away some of their top draft choices like Leonard

1650
01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:57,080
Speaker 1: Williams and you know, Sheldon Richardson. I mean, they've parted

1651
01:27:57,080 --> 01:27:59,640
Speaker 1: with some first round draft choices that they've taken in

1652
01:27:59,680 --> 01:28:03,160
Speaker 1: the path for their defensive line, right, and it goes,

1653
01:28:04,120 --> 01:28:07,439
Speaker 1: it goes down down down the list of things that

1654
01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:10,720
Speaker 1: we just don't know exactly yet. True that's gonna be

1655
01:28:11,080 --> 01:28:13,200
Speaker 1: and I said it yesterday, it's the biggest blind date

1656
01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:16,400
Speaker 1: in history. Is this opening weekend of the NFL. These

1657
01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:17,880
Speaker 1: teams have got a date that have been on the

1658
01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:20,960
Speaker 1: calendar for quite some time and they don't know what

1659
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:23,880
Speaker 1: each other looks like yet. And we should also mention

1660
01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:27,120
Speaker 1: this for Bills fans that forgot that Henry Anderson, who

1661
01:28:27,120 --> 01:28:29,720
Speaker 1: plays one of the defensive end positions dirty player. He's

1662
01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:32,280
Speaker 1: the guy that cheap shot at Stephen Haushka two years ago,

1663
01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:34,679
Speaker 1: and then he tried the cheap shot Josh Allen last

1664
01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:37,840
Speaker 1: year at the end of a play cheap player. So

1665
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:39,720
Speaker 1: keep an eye out for number ninety six. Not that

1666
01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:41,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to do anything about it, but

1667
01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:44,240
Speaker 1: that guy's a cheap player. Does a lot of garbage

1668
01:28:44,280 --> 01:28:47,320
Speaker 1: after the whistle, and omarv was always big on, don't

1669
01:28:47,360 --> 01:28:50,760
Speaker 1: be dumb, don't be dirty, right, this guy's got a

1670
01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:53,599
Speaker 1: dirty part of his game that has got no place

1671
01:28:53,640 --> 01:28:57,280
Speaker 1: in football right. Also on the tweet sheet about where

1672
01:28:57,280 --> 01:28:59,320
Speaker 1: the Bills may have the most success against the Jets

1673
01:28:59,320 --> 01:29:01,000
Speaker 1: from Devin, he says the Bill should have no issues

1674
01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:03,840
Speaker 1: shutting down the Jets wide receivers with their secondary I

1675
01:29:03,880 --> 01:29:05,760
Speaker 1: don't see the Jets moving the ball through the air

1676
01:29:05,960 --> 01:29:10,800
Speaker 1: very much on Sunday. Well you think you hope that's

1677
01:29:10,840 --> 01:29:16,639
Speaker 1: the case. Certainly, there's nobody on that Jets defense that's

1678
01:29:16,680 --> 01:29:18,640
Speaker 1: gonna say, using we got to double this guy all day.

1679
01:29:18,720 --> 01:29:25,000
Speaker 1: There's nobody that really scares you from a matchup perspective.

1680
01:29:25,040 --> 01:29:26,640
Speaker 1: I know their young tight ends is an up and

1681
01:29:26,680 --> 01:29:29,960
Speaker 1: coming player. Chris Herndon Herndon's got a nice player, and

1682
01:29:29,600 --> 01:29:32,519
Speaker 1: he's he only took what sixteen snaps last year, right,

1683
01:29:32,640 --> 01:29:35,559
Speaker 1: but as an emerging player, I think he'll be a

1684
01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:38,439
Speaker 1: bigger part of their passing game this season. He and

1685
01:29:38,520 --> 01:29:41,719
Speaker 1: Darnold apparently have a chemistry from most of the accounts

1686
01:29:41,720 --> 01:29:43,639
Speaker 1: that we've heard coming out of Jets camp this year.

1687
01:29:43,760 --> 01:29:47,880
Speaker 1: So that will be one to watch going forward. And

1688
01:29:48,160 --> 01:29:51,240
Speaker 1: who the Bills choose to deploy to cover him, whether

1689
01:29:51,280 --> 01:29:53,839
Speaker 1: it's a safety, whether they think Milano and or Edmonds

1690
01:29:53,840 --> 01:29:56,160
Speaker 1: can handle that, We'll have to just wait and see.

1691
01:29:56,200 --> 01:29:57,880
Speaker 1: But that's a guy to keep an eye on as well.

1692
01:29:58,720 --> 01:30:03,559
Speaker 1: But Breshad Perriman, you know, okay, he's a good player.

1693
01:30:03,800 --> 01:30:07,120
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder was their leading receiver in terms of receptions

1694
01:30:07,120 --> 01:30:10,000
Speaker 1: the last year out of the slot. And then you

1695
01:30:10,080 --> 01:30:12,559
Speaker 1: got the rookie Denzel Mims who's essentially missed all of camp,

1696
01:30:12,560 --> 01:30:15,519
Speaker 1: and we don't anticipate having a large role. I mean,

1697
01:30:15,560 --> 01:30:17,479
Speaker 1: I think in just about every one of those matchups,

1698
01:30:17,479 --> 01:30:21,720
Speaker 1: it's advantage Bills. If the right cornerback situation gets a

1699
01:30:21,720 --> 01:30:24,840
Speaker 1: little hairy this week, depending on the availability of Levi

1700
01:30:24,960 --> 01:30:27,240
Speaker 1: Wallace and Josh Norman, that could change the conversation a

1701
01:30:27,280 --> 01:30:31,360
Speaker 1: little bit, but Levi's practicing today. Whether it's in a

1702
01:30:31,400 --> 01:30:33,880
Speaker 1: limited capacity, we'll find out later this afternoon when the

1703
01:30:33,880 --> 01:30:37,360
Speaker 1: injury report is released. But for the most part, the

1704
01:30:37,479 --> 01:30:41,320
Speaker 1: matchups are favorable for Buffalo secondary as I see it. Yeah,

1705
01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:43,800
Speaker 1: if you want to think about where the Jets might

1706
01:30:44,320 --> 01:30:46,840
Speaker 1: you might anticipate them attacking the Bills. I think it's

1707
01:30:46,840 --> 01:30:51,040
Speaker 1: in between the numbers with Herndon and Crowder. If you

1708
01:30:51,040 --> 01:30:52,840
Speaker 1: get those two guys on the same side of the ball,

1709
01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:55,679
Speaker 1: both those guys have the ability to win a matchup,

1710
01:30:56,040 --> 01:30:58,400
Speaker 1: and that would Quicker routes quick. Quicker routes the balls

1711
01:30:58,439 --> 01:31:02,120
Speaker 1: out of Arnold's hand that much faster. It's an easy

1712
01:31:02,160 --> 01:31:04,120
Speaker 1: throw inside his field of vision. He doesn't have to

1713
01:31:04,120 --> 01:31:05,600
Speaker 1: look around then come back to the other side of

1714
01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:08,160
Speaker 1: the field, or if he does, it's from inside the

1715
01:31:08,200 --> 01:31:10,960
Speaker 1: numbers to just outside the hash marks on the other side.

1716
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:15,919
Speaker 1: That kind of thing. So to me, Crowder and Herndon

1717
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:19,719
Speaker 1: are the keys to the Jets passing game on Sunday.

1718
01:31:19,760 --> 01:31:21,479
Speaker 1: Now it may change and you may get a guy

1719
01:31:21,520 --> 01:31:24,479
Speaker 1: like Mems later on in the season. Mems hasn't really

1720
01:31:24,479 --> 01:31:27,840
Speaker 1: practiced at all. He got hurt virtually day one of

1721
01:31:27,880 --> 01:31:31,439
Speaker 1: training camp and it was a badly pulled hamstring, so

1722
01:31:31,479 --> 01:31:34,120
Speaker 1: it's taken him forever to get back on the field.

1723
01:31:34,600 --> 01:31:40,599
Speaker 1: So whatever he gives them, it's gonna be a work

1724
01:31:40,640 --> 01:31:43,719
Speaker 1: in progress or an evolutionary process. Maybe he does explode

1725
01:31:43,720 --> 01:31:45,800
Speaker 1: onto the scene. Maybe he does, but I don't know

1726
01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:47,479
Speaker 1: that I can think of any player in the history

1727
01:31:47,479 --> 01:31:49,200
Speaker 1: of the NFL who's done it like he's done it.

1728
01:31:49,320 --> 01:31:51,719
Speaker 1: If he does that with no practice in his rookie

1729
01:31:51,840 --> 01:31:54,320
Speaker 1: year and training camp, then come on and have a

1730
01:31:54,320 --> 01:31:58,040
Speaker 1: big day. They may target him some, but I'm thinking

1731
01:31:58,120 --> 01:32:01,800
Speaker 1: Chris Herndon and Outer are the two guys that the

1732
01:32:01,880 --> 01:32:04,160
Speaker 1: Jets will lean on down the middle of the field

1733
01:32:04,160 --> 01:32:06,040
Speaker 1: and give Sam Darnolod a chance to get the ball

1734
01:32:06,040 --> 01:32:08,080
Speaker 1: out of his hands, give his offensive line a chance

1735
01:32:08,120 --> 01:32:10,559
Speaker 1: to catch their breath and not have to hold up

1736
01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:12,759
Speaker 1: for two and a half three four seconds in pass

1737
01:32:12,840 --> 01:32:17,040
Speaker 1: protection and the ball be gone. So to me, Chris Herndon,

1738
01:32:17,160 --> 01:32:19,439
Speaker 1: particularly given the fact that they feel like they know

1739
01:32:19,600 --> 01:32:23,320
Speaker 1: him even but the Bills wouldn't. He only had sixteen

1740
01:32:23,320 --> 01:32:25,920
Speaker 1: snaps last year, but he was there all year and

1741
01:32:25,960 --> 01:32:30,760
Speaker 1: he's an athlete, so that being a weapon that they

1742
01:32:30,800 --> 01:32:33,240
Speaker 1: have confidence in and could unfurl on a team that

1743
01:32:33,400 --> 01:32:36,519
Speaker 1: doesn't hasn't seen it seems to me a likely candidate,

1744
01:32:36,520 --> 01:32:39,360
Speaker 1: and of course Crowder is a known commodity. All Right,

1745
01:32:39,400 --> 01:32:41,000
Speaker 1: Steve and I will take a break as we close

1746
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:42,960
Speaker 1: out this second hour of the program, But when we

1747
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:45,759
Speaker 1: come back, we'll hear from Zach Moss in the latest

1748
01:32:45,880 --> 01:32:48,240
Speaker 1: edition of What's the Scoop presented by Perry's Ice Cream,

1749
01:32:48,280 --> 01:32:51,240
Speaker 1: and then right after that, one Eric Wood will join us.

1750
01:32:51,240 --> 01:32:53,120
Speaker 1: It's all coming up here in the two o'clock hour.

1751
01:32:53,400 --> 01:32:55,760
Speaker 1: It's One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health. This

1752
01:32:55,960 --> 01:33:11,040
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio Bills Radio Network, Sports Date or

1753
01:33:11,200 --> 01:33:14,760
Speaker 1: Sports Update from One Bill's Drive. Josh Norman not practicing

1754
01:33:14,800 --> 01:33:17,759
Speaker 1: today as he's still dealing with a hamstring injury. Limited

1755
01:33:17,760 --> 01:33:21,360
Speaker 1: in practice was Special Team's a Taiwan Jones. The team's

1756
01:33:21,400 --> 01:33:25,000
Speaker 1: full injury report will be released later this afternoon. Head

1757
01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:28,800
Speaker 1: coach Sean McDermott also not revealing definitively who will start

1758
01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:31,160
Speaker 1: at right guard and right tackle on the offensive line.

1759
01:33:31,240 --> 01:33:34,080
Speaker 1: McDermott said, quote, you'll see some different combinations out there.

1760
01:33:34,120 --> 01:33:36,639
Speaker 1: Cody Ford, Darryl Williams, and Tie and Sky are all

1761
01:33:36,680 --> 01:33:40,880
Speaker 1: interchangeable parts, and we have confidence in all those guys.

1762
01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:44,920
Speaker 1: End quote. Just days after Tradavious White became the highest

1763
01:33:44,920 --> 01:33:48,240
Speaker 1: paid defensive back in the NFL, that title was stripped

1764
01:33:48,280 --> 01:33:51,400
Speaker 1: away from him by Jalen Ramsey of the Los Angeles Rams.

1765
01:33:51,640 --> 01:33:54,040
Speaker 1: He and the Rams agreed to terms on a five year,

1766
01:33:54,120 --> 01:33:57,960
Speaker 1: one hundred five million dollar extension, the largest contract ever

1767
01:33:58,080 --> 01:34:00,519
Speaker 1: for a cornerback. He also becomes the first STB in

1768
01:34:00,640 --> 01:34:03,439
Speaker 1: NFL history to sign a deal worth over one hundred

1769
01:34:03,439 --> 01:34:05,800
Speaker 1: million dollars in his seventy one point two million at

1770
01:34:05,840 --> 01:34:10,240
Speaker 1: signing is the largest guarantee for a dB. Pittsburgh Steelers

1771
01:34:10,280 --> 01:34:13,679
Speaker 1: linebacker Ryan Shazier, who suffered a severe spinal cord injury

1772
01:34:13,680 --> 01:34:17,040
Speaker 1: while making a tackle back in twenty seventeen that initially

1773
01:34:17,240 --> 01:34:20,960
Speaker 1: left him unable to walk, announced his retirement on Wednesday.

1774
01:34:21,360 --> 01:34:24,439
Speaker 1: Von Miller's twenty twenty season could be over before it begins.

1775
01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:27,559
Speaker 1: The multi time Pro Bowler and All Pro pass rusher

1776
01:34:27,560 --> 01:34:30,080
Speaker 1: for the Broncos suffered a lower leg injury that is

1777
01:34:30,120 --> 01:34:33,960
Speaker 1: said to involve a torn tendon and could require season

1778
01:34:34,200 --> 01:34:38,520
Speaker 1: ending surgery. He's currently seeking a second opinion on the diagnosis.

1779
01:34:38,920 --> 01:34:41,120
Speaker 1: Game two tonight in the Stanley Cup Playoffs between the

Speaker 1: West it's the Clippers and Nuggets LA leading that series

1787
01:35:01,760 --> 01:35:05,360
Speaker 1: two games to one. That is your sports update from

1788
01:35:05,600 --> 01:35:08,800
Speaker 1: One Bill's Drive. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you for

1789
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:12,760
Speaker 1: our number three of the program, and as promised, we're

1790
01:35:12,760 --> 01:35:15,679
Speaker 1: going to hear from Zach Moss as he was part

1791
01:35:15,760 --> 01:35:18,559
Speaker 1: of the Perry's ice Cream segment called What's the Scoop?

1792
01:35:18,920 --> 01:35:21,960
Speaker 1: So here is the Bill's Rookie running back with Maddie

1793
01:35:21,960 --> 01:35:24,479
Speaker 1: glab brought to you by Perry's ice Cream, the official

1794
01:35:24,520 --> 01:35:28,200
Speaker 1: ice cream of the Buffalo Bills. Mattie Glab Here a

1795
01:35:28,280 --> 01:35:31,280
Speaker 1: third round draft thing Zach Moss out of Utah. It's

1796
01:35:31,320 --> 01:35:34,599
Speaker 1: the first edition of What's the Scoop presented by Perry's

1797
01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:37,680
Speaker 1: ice Cream for the twenty twenty season. Zach, we want

1798
01:35:37,680 --> 01:35:39,639
Speaker 1: to get to know you. You are a new player

1799
01:35:39,680 --> 01:35:42,559
Speaker 1: on this team. We've got some ice cream. We've got

1800
01:35:42,600 --> 01:35:45,280
Speaker 1: some good conversation that we're about to start. So first

1801
01:35:45,320 --> 01:35:48,360
Speaker 1: of all, let's dive into our ice cream. All right,

1802
01:35:48,439 --> 01:35:52,519
Speaker 1: what do you have? I've got some grasshopper pie from Perry's.

1803
01:35:52,640 --> 01:35:54,840
Speaker 1: I think you've got a little bar there, got a

1804
01:35:54,920 --> 01:36:01,479
Speaker 1: little child teeth right here. Check it out. Okay, what

1805
01:36:01,560 --> 01:36:05,160
Speaker 1: do you think definitely is chime? Definitely? All right, Well,

1806
01:36:05,160 --> 01:36:06,960
Speaker 1: we have ten questions for you to get to know

1807
01:36:07,040 --> 01:36:11,720
Speaker 1: you better. So you get drafted during in this COVID pandemic.

1808
01:36:12,040 --> 01:36:15,280
Speaker 1: What has been the craziest part of this entire process

1809
01:36:15,400 --> 01:36:18,120
Speaker 1: for you? You know, you've been drafted for X amount

1810
01:36:18,120 --> 01:36:20,000
Speaker 1: of months, but you haven't been able to meet anybody,

1811
01:36:20,080 --> 01:36:21,880
Speaker 1: having been able to see the coaches anything like that

1812
01:36:21,960 --> 01:36:24,679
Speaker 1: since the draft and trying to learn everything kind of virtually.

1813
01:36:24,840 --> 01:36:27,800
Speaker 1: Was definitely probably the toughest team. So I'm sure you've

1814
01:36:27,840 --> 01:36:31,200
Speaker 1: already gotten a pretty good idea of Bill's mafia. So,

1815
01:36:31,240 --> 01:36:34,120
Speaker 1: since you're new to this team, how would you describe

1816
01:36:34,200 --> 01:36:36,880
Speaker 1: your personality to the fan base. What type of person

1817
01:36:36,920 --> 01:36:39,360
Speaker 1: are you? I'm a very laid back kind of guy.

1818
01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:41,840
Speaker 1: I don't, you know, try to be out there. You know,

1819
01:36:41,960 --> 01:36:44,599
Speaker 1: front flash and everything like that, But I'm real, you know,

1820
01:36:44,880 --> 01:36:47,479
Speaker 1: real cool, real kind of mellow type of guy. You

1821
01:36:47,560 --> 01:36:50,799
Speaker 1: have hashtag why not in your Twitter and your Instagram bios.

1822
01:36:50,840 --> 01:36:53,000
Speaker 1: What's the story behind that and what does it mean?

1823
01:36:53,160 --> 01:36:56,400
Speaker 1: It's kind of the hashtag that Russell Westbrook kind of

1824
01:36:56,439 --> 01:36:58,839
Speaker 1: started a few years ago, kind of like an underdog

1825
01:36:59,040 --> 01:37:01,679
Speaker 1: mentality like why not being you know, the best person

1826
01:37:01,720 --> 01:37:03,400
Speaker 1: you can be or the best player you can be.

1827
01:37:03,520 --> 01:37:05,760
Speaker 1: I've always had that tip of my shoulder, just you know,

1828
01:37:05,800 --> 01:37:07,640
Speaker 1: the way I was brought up, It's always been a

1829
01:37:07,680 --> 01:37:10,759
Speaker 1: part of you. What's your favorite TV show or movie?

1830
01:37:11,120 --> 01:37:13,719
Speaker 1: My favorite TV show would have to be Martin Martin

1831
01:37:13,760 --> 01:37:16,400
Speaker 1: Lawrence Show from back in the nineties, and then my

1832
01:37:16,520 --> 01:37:20,639
Speaker 1: favorite movie has to be The Batman Dark Knight. Are

1833
01:37:20,640 --> 01:37:23,519
Speaker 1: you a big Batman fan? I am. I've had all

1834
01:37:23,520 --> 01:37:25,960
Speaker 1: the Batman toys since I was little. It's something that

1835
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:28,120
Speaker 1: I just from a little kid. It's always been pretty

1836
01:37:28,120 --> 01:37:29,840
Speaker 1: cool to me, so I just kind of always trying

1837
01:37:29,840 --> 01:37:31,240
Speaker 1: to stick with it a little bit. I have all

1838
01:37:31,320 --> 01:37:33,440
Speaker 1: black cars, so I kind of named it the Batmobile.

1839
01:37:33,600 --> 01:37:36,439
Speaker 1: So what would be the number one thing on your

1840
01:37:36,439 --> 01:37:39,160
Speaker 1: bucket list? Is there something you want to do for

1841
01:37:39,360 --> 01:37:42,880
Speaker 1: somebody you want to meet. Kobe Bryant recipes to Kobe

1842
01:37:42,920 --> 01:37:44,960
Speaker 1: bryan But definitely if I had a chance, it would

1843
01:37:44,960 --> 01:37:47,960
Speaker 1: definitely be Cope for sure. I think by your Instagram

1844
01:37:47,960 --> 01:37:50,280
Speaker 1: you can tell you're a sneak er head. Would that

1845
01:37:50,320 --> 01:37:54,200
Speaker 1: be correct? Yeah, because I just ordered a pair of

1846
01:37:54,200 --> 01:37:57,439
Speaker 1: the your Jordan once the lowso so those are definitely

1847
01:37:57,479 --> 01:38:00,519
Speaker 1: gonna be my favorites. I'm a big sneaker guy. Since

1848
01:38:00,720 --> 01:38:03,280
Speaker 1: I want to say, like eighth grade or something like that,

1849
01:38:03,320 --> 01:38:05,360
Speaker 1: I was just was a thing that we just got

1850
01:38:05,439 --> 01:38:07,599
Speaker 1: into as kids, trying to collect them things like that

1851
01:38:07,640 --> 01:38:10,080
Speaker 1: and just kind of a definitely good bless If you

1852
01:38:10,120 --> 01:38:12,880
Speaker 1: could have dinner with one person, dead or alive, who

1853
01:38:12,880 --> 01:38:17,760
Speaker 1: would it be and why? I would probably say Cat Williams,

1854
01:38:17,800 --> 01:38:20,120
Speaker 1: just because I think that energy and that whole entire

1855
01:38:20,240 --> 01:38:21,760
Speaker 1: dent it wouldn't even really be a dent and it

1856
01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:24,599
Speaker 1: feel like you had a comedy show. Who is your

1857
01:38:24,760 --> 01:38:27,479
Speaker 1: role model? And why? My role model is my mom

1858
01:38:27,560 --> 01:38:30,280
Speaker 1: for everything that I've seen her do for her five kids,

1859
01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:33,080
Speaker 1: single parent house home, and then just growing up in

1860
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:35,240
Speaker 1: that and just being strong each and every day. So

1861
01:38:35,439 --> 01:38:37,360
Speaker 1: you know, that's definitely why I shot to be the

1862
01:38:37,360 --> 01:38:39,640
Speaker 1: best player I could possibly be, and just happy that

1863
01:38:39,880 --> 01:38:41,680
Speaker 1: I'm able to do things now for her, because that

1864
01:38:41,760 --> 01:38:43,839
Speaker 1: was definitely the reason I made for the the year before

1865
01:38:43,960 --> 01:38:48,400
Speaker 1: getting drafted. Do you have the proudest achievement? Definitely would

1866
01:38:48,640 --> 01:38:51,400
Speaker 1: probably have to be my time in ut Off those

1867
01:38:51,400 --> 01:38:53,720
Speaker 1: four years, just from you know, the relationships I was

1868
01:38:53,760 --> 01:38:56,679
Speaker 1: able to build with everyone around the campus and then

1869
01:38:56,720 --> 01:38:58,400
Speaker 1: you know, everything else here to do on the field,

1870
01:38:58,479 --> 01:39:01,320
Speaker 1: and that's definitely something I always my last question, if

1871
01:39:01,320 --> 01:39:04,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna have ice cream, one or your favorite toppings

1872
01:39:04,400 --> 01:39:08,559
Speaker 1: that go on that ice cream, strawberry shavings, it's probably

1873
01:39:08,600 --> 01:39:13,799
Speaker 1: a few. Well, that's what's the scoop, presented by Perry's

1874
01:39:13,880 --> 01:39:16,719
Speaker 1: ice Cream, the official ice cream of the Buffalo Bills.

1875
01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:19,640
Speaker 1: Go grab some today at your local retailer or on

1876
01:39:19,800 --> 01:39:23,920
Speaker 1: Parry's ice Cream dot com. Zak Coffee, appreciate your time.

1877
01:39:23,960 --> 01:39:26,040
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. It was great to get to

1878
01:39:26,040 --> 01:39:30,559
Speaker 1: know you. Thank you for having me on. All right,

1879
01:39:30,600 --> 01:39:32,320
Speaker 1: So that's Zach Moss. You get to know a little

1880
01:39:32,320 --> 01:39:34,640
Speaker 1: bit more about the Bill's rookie running back, and I

1881
01:39:34,640 --> 01:39:38,920
Speaker 1: would anticipate he has a role in some capacity this Sunday. Yeah,

1882
01:39:39,320 --> 01:39:42,080
Speaker 1: hopefully be interesting to see how they divvy up the

1883
01:39:42,120 --> 01:39:44,760
Speaker 1: workload between him and Devin Singleton. Hopefully he gets a

1884
01:39:44,760 --> 01:39:47,439
Speaker 1: ton of work because he's crushing it, or because the

1885
01:39:47,439 --> 01:39:49,360
Speaker 1: team's way ahead on a scoreboard and they're just trying

1886
01:39:49,360 --> 01:39:52,000
Speaker 1: to shorten the game. Yeah, maybe maybe any of that

1887
01:39:52,200 --> 01:39:54,559
Speaker 1: is fine with me. Yeah, I have to say, because

1888
01:39:54,560 --> 01:39:57,799
Speaker 1: I really kind of drilled down on the running backs

1889
01:39:57,840 --> 01:40:01,200
Speaker 1: in the draft this year, and um, it took me

1890
01:40:01,240 --> 01:40:04,439
Speaker 1: all of about two games of Zach Moss film to

1891
01:40:04,479 --> 01:40:06,960
Speaker 1: be like, I like this guy. That's the guy. I

1892
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:09,479
Speaker 1: like this guy. So he was one of my favorites

1893
01:40:09,479 --> 01:40:12,160
Speaker 1: in this year's draft and ironically last year. Wait a minute,

1894
01:40:12,160 --> 01:40:13,800
Speaker 1: so you he was your favorite before? Did you go

1895
01:40:13,880 --> 01:40:15,840
Speaker 1: or this is no? No No? Yeah. Leading up to the draft,

1896
01:40:15,920 --> 01:40:18,400
Speaker 1: I was, you know, you prepare for you know, draft

1897
01:40:18,600 --> 01:40:20,960
Speaker 1: talk and whatnot, and so I was, you know, I tried.

1898
01:40:21,280 --> 01:40:23,439
Speaker 1: We had a pandemic. I had a lot of time

1899
01:40:23,479 --> 01:40:27,240
Speaker 1: on my hands, so I probably watched more college I

1900
01:40:27,320 --> 01:40:31,680
Speaker 1: probably watched more college football player tape this spring than

1901
01:40:31,760 --> 01:40:34,559
Speaker 1: maybe ever before because we weren't in the office. You know,

1902
01:40:34,560 --> 01:40:36,559
Speaker 1: you're not driving to and from work, killing a half

1903
01:40:36,640 --> 01:40:40,200
Speaker 1: hour forty five minutes every day. All of those things

1904
01:40:40,240 --> 01:40:43,080
Speaker 1: so and you couldn't go anywhere, right. So I was

1905
01:40:43,120 --> 01:40:46,120
Speaker 1: watching a lot of college football team I watched two

1906
01:40:46,120 --> 01:40:48,080
Speaker 1: of his games and I was like, Wow, I like

1907
01:40:48,240 --> 01:40:51,080
Speaker 1: this guy. Um. And there were a few others in

1908
01:40:51,120 --> 01:40:53,639
Speaker 1: this year's class that I liked too, but I just

1909
01:40:53,680 --> 01:40:56,559
Speaker 1: liked his the fact that he could play the physical

1910
01:40:56,600 --> 01:41:00,320
Speaker 1: game between the tackles, but that wasn't all that he was.

1911
01:41:00,439 --> 01:41:03,040
Speaker 1: He's more than that, and so that's what was so

1912
01:41:03,120 --> 01:41:08,280
Speaker 1: appealing for me about him and his game, and knowing

1913
01:41:08,280 --> 01:41:12,040
Speaker 1: that Frank Gore was not going to be here, he

1914
01:41:12,120 --> 01:41:14,120
Speaker 1: was a guy that I thought could be a fit

1915
01:41:14,160 --> 01:41:15,880
Speaker 1: for the Bills. I didn't know that the Bills loved

1916
01:41:15,920 --> 01:41:17,559
Speaker 1: him or not, but I said, you know what, this

1917
01:41:17,640 --> 01:41:21,800
Speaker 1: guy's skill set probably fits what they're looking for. So

1918
01:41:21,920 --> 01:41:24,000
Speaker 1: I would I would put him on the radar. And

1919
01:41:24,040 --> 01:41:27,439
Speaker 1: I had a couple others too for the Bills as

1920
01:41:27,479 --> 01:41:29,920
Speaker 1: a fit, because that's the thing about that, And I

1921
01:41:29,920 --> 01:41:33,439
Speaker 1: think a lot of draft prognosticators don't take this into

1922
01:41:33,439 --> 01:41:35,880
Speaker 1: consideration because they say, oh, you know, this guy's great.

1923
01:41:35,880 --> 01:41:37,639
Speaker 1: He's probably going to come off the board around here,

1924
01:41:37,720 --> 01:41:39,519
Speaker 1: this team as this pick around this time, so they're

1925
01:41:39,520 --> 01:41:41,920
Speaker 1: going to pick him and really, what it comes down

1926
01:41:41,920 --> 01:41:47,160
Speaker 1: to is whether the players great, kind of great whatever

1927
01:41:47,479 --> 01:41:52,000
Speaker 1: they just the most important question that college personnel departments

1928
01:41:52,040 --> 01:41:54,400
Speaker 1: try to answer is is this guy a fit for

1929
01:41:54,439 --> 01:41:57,679
Speaker 1: the Bills? Like this guy might have a great football career,

1930
01:41:57,720 --> 01:41:59,600
Speaker 1: but he might not fit what we do here or

1931
01:41:59,680 --> 01:42:02,720
Speaker 1: want to do here. So that's the ultimate question, is

1932
01:42:02,720 --> 01:42:04,800
Speaker 1: he a fit for the Bills? And I think Zach

1933
01:42:04,880 --> 01:42:07,920
Speaker 1: Moss will unquestionably be a great fit for the Bills.

1934
01:42:08,200 --> 01:42:11,040
Speaker 1: Joining us on the line now, though, is a familiar

1935
01:42:11,080 --> 01:42:15,559
Speaker 1: person to Bills fans and a colleague of ours on

1936
01:42:15,600 --> 01:42:19,240
Speaker 1: the Bills Radio Network and all of the Bills online properties.

1937
01:42:19,520 --> 01:42:23,080
Speaker 1: It is one Eric Wood joining us from his home

1938
01:42:23,600 --> 01:42:27,960
Speaker 1: and Eric, good to see in my friend, How are you? Yeah? Likewise,

1939
01:42:27,960 --> 01:42:30,599
Speaker 1: I'm doing good. How you guys? Been doing really good?

1940
01:42:30,840 --> 01:42:33,400
Speaker 1: Just ramping up for week one here, it's finally arrived

1941
01:42:33,479 --> 01:42:36,960
Speaker 1: after a pandemic that seems like it's doubled the length

1942
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:39,280
Speaker 1: of the off season, not to mention the fact that

1943
01:42:39,320 --> 01:42:41,479
Speaker 1: we haven't had any preseason games to at least chew

1944
01:42:41,520 --> 01:42:44,320
Speaker 1: on a little bit for an appetizer. So we're ready

1945
01:42:44,320 --> 01:42:46,800
Speaker 1: to roll right right. Yeah, it's gonna be nice to

1946
01:42:46,800 --> 01:42:49,479
Speaker 1: have some content this week. I'm sure you guys have

1947
01:42:49,479 --> 01:42:51,559
Speaker 1: been digging in on the jets for a couple of weeks,

1948
01:42:51,600 --> 01:42:56,240
Speaker 1: but without preseason games and with the limited media availability

1949
01:42:56,240 --> 01:43:01,680
Speaker 1: a practices, I don't envy you guys that, yeah, we're

1950
01:43:01,680 --> 01:43:03,679
Speaker 1: making we're making a lot of chicken salad here lately,

1951
01:43:03,760 --> 01:43:05,320
Speaker 1: and sure, and one of the reasons, and the reason

1952
01:43:05,360 --> 01:43:07,040
Speaker 1: we wanted to have you on is because you've got

1953
01:43:07,080 --> 01:43:10,240
Speaker 1: We've got a changed role for you this because of

1954
01:43:10,600 --> 01:43:13,640
Speaker 1: your own free will, for unknown reasons, you choose to

1955
01:43:13,640 --> 01:43:19,479
Speaker 1: live in Louisville, Kentucky and not Buffalo, and so for

1956
01:43:19,520 --> 01:43:22,400
Speaker 1: that reason, during the pandemic, it's changed your role with

1957
01:43:22,439 --> 01:43:25,000
Speaker 1: the Bills because of the logistics of travel. And it

1958
01:43:25,080 --> 01:43:26,800
Speaker 1: just came out today and I guess we can tell

1959
01:43:27,040 --> 01:43:28,600
Speaker 1: that you you're not going to be able to be

1960
01:43:28,600 --> 01:43:30,719
Speaker 1: in the booth with Murf this year for the games.

1961
01:43:31,360 --> 01:43:34,599
Speaker 1: And so they went down a list of people they

1962
01:43:34,640 --> 01:43:36,600
Speaker 1: really wanted to do the games that you weren't going

1963
01:43:36,680 --> 01:43:39,240
Speaker 1: to be able to do, and somewhere way down the

1964
01:43:39,280 --> 01:43:42,799
Speaker 1: list they came to me. And so at the bottom

1965
01:43:42,840 --> 01:43:44,760
Speaker 1: of the list, I'm now I'm doing the games in

1966
01:43:44,800 --> 01:43:47,840
Speaker 1: the booth for with Murph, and You're gonna be doing

1967
01:43:47,920 --> 01:43:52,320
Speaker 1: Bills tonight with Maddie Glab postgame just because of the pandemic,

1968
01:43:52,640 --> 01:43:54,280
Speaker 1: and we just want to have you on to announced

1969
01:43:54,320 --> 01:43:57,240
Speaker 1: that and to say, man, listen, I'll do these games,

1970
01:43:57,360 --> 01:43:59,880
Speaker 1: but as soon as this pandemic breaks, you gotta prom

1971
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:03,320
Speaker 1: promise me you'll come back and give me my free weekends. Yeah,

1972
01:44:03,360 --> 01:44:06,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure Glad Thurman and Jim weren't available to hop

1973
01:44:06,200 --> 01:44:08,400
Speaker 1: on the radio broadcast. Well, those are just the first

1974
01:44:08,400 --> 01:44:10,920
Speaker 1: two names, right, Those were just the first two names.

1975
01:44:10,920 --> 01:44:13,320
Speaker 1: There's like six more names that got went down before

1976
01:44:13,320 --> 01:44:15,400
Speaker 1: they finally got down to my name on the list.

1977
01:44:15,479 --> 01:44:18,439
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's good. Now, Hey, let me just tell

1978
01:44:18,479 --> 01:44:20,120
Speaker 1: you something. I know, I know how bummed you are

1979
01:44:20,120 --> 01:44:22,080
Speaker 1: about not doing the Bills games. You're really good. You've

1980
01:44:22,120 --> 01:44:24,960
Speaker 1: becoming a favorite for fans. You're really good at it.

1981
01:44:25,040 --> 01:44:27,200
Speaker 1: And I promise you that when you're ready to come back,

1982
01:44:27,200 --> 01:44:29,960
Speaker 1: and when things change, I promise man, I'll give you

1983
01:44:29,960 --> 01:44:32,519
Speaker 1: the microphone back and you come start doing these games again.

1984
01:44:32,520 --> 01:44:35,240
Speaker 1: But I know how difficult it was a decision for

1985
01:44:35,280 --> 01:44:37,799
Speaker 1: you to make, and you really it wasn't even a decision,

1986
01:44:37,800 --> 01:44:39,840
Speaker 1: It was just no choice to be had because of

1987
01:44:39,840 --> 01:44:43,880
Speaker 1: the pandemic. Yeah, absolutely, And if the quarantine rules change

1988
01:44:43,920 --> 01:44:46,120
Speaker 1: and I'm able to come up there for games this year,

1989
01:44:46,160 --> 01:44:49,880
Speaker 1: that'd be great. But I appreciate the fact that you're

1990
01:44:49,920 --> 01:44:52,240
Speaker 1: able to take over. I know, with your experience, the

1991
01:44:52,280 --> 01:44:55,519
Speaker 1: broadcast will not miss a beat, So I'm excited about that.

1992
01:44:55,640 --> 01:44:58,559
Speaker 1: I'm excited about one day getting back up to call

1993
01:44:58,640 --> 01:45:01,519
Speaker 1: Bills games. I'm still to be calling college football games,

1994
01:45:02,240 --> 01:45:04,880
Speaker 1: just not traveling a whole lot. This weekend, for ACC,

1995
01:45:05,080 --> 01:45:07,920
Speaker 1: I have Western Kentucky at Louisville, so I get a

1996
01:45:07,960 --> 01:45:10,360
Speaker 1: true home game there. I get to do my Bills

1997
01:45:11,320 --> 01:45:15,400
Speaker 1: Jets coverage from home pre and post games. So I'm

1998
01:45:15,400 --> 01:45:19,240
Speaker 1: excited that I'll still be a part of the media

1999
01:45:19,280 --> 01:45:22,439
Speaker 1: package for Bills fans in some capacity this year. I'll

2000
01:45:22,479 --> 01:45:25,400
Speaker 1: still be doing my one Bill's live spots. I'll still

2001
01:45:25,400 --> 01:45:29,120
Speaker 1: be doing my chopping Wood segments for the Sean McDermott Show,

2002
01:45:29,160 --> 01:45:32,120
Speaker 1: So you'll see my face a good amount. Still, you'll

2003
01:45:32,120 --> 01:45:35,599
Speaker 1: still hear my voice, just not during the actual broadcast. Yeah.

2004
01:45:35,640 --> 01:45:38,000
Speaker 1: So he'll be doing the roundtable or you're gonna be

2005
01:45:38,000 --> 01:45:40,679
Speaker 1: busy in sal like he always has, and then he'll

2006
01:45:40,720 --> 01:45:43,120
Speaker 1: be He'll be on Bills tonight so he'll be doing

2007
01:45:43,120 --> 01:45:45,840
Speaker 1: a full post game rap and it'll be interesting to

2008
01:45:45,880 --> 01:45:50,040
Speaker 1: get Eric's analysis post game, although I gotta imagine Eric

2009
01:45:50,080 --> 01:45:52,759
Speaker 1: it is gonna be weird watching that. Well, for that matter,

2010
01:45:53,439 --> 01:45:56,240
Speaker 1: Murph and Steve are gonna be for road games anyway,

2011
01:45:56,320 --> 01:45:59,160
Speaker 1: calling games off a television monitor because you guys can't

2012
01:45:59,200 --> 01:46:02,040
Speaker 1: travel to the city, So they're gonna be calling the

2013
01:46:02,080 --> 01:46:05,040
Speaker 1: game just like you're gonna be watching at home. Right. Yeah,

2014
01:46:05,120 --> 01:46:07,479
Speaker 1: Unfortunately for my family, they're gonna have to listen to

2015
01:46:07,520 --> 01:46:11,960
Speaker 1: what happened two years ago when I overanalyze every specific

2016
01:46:12,000 --> 01:46:14,400
Speaker 1: of a Bills game from the living room and talk

2017
01:46:14,479 --> 01:46:16,920
Speaker 1: over their heads and get mad about stuff that they

2018
01:46:16,920 --> 01:46:20,000
Speaker 1: don't even notice throughout the game. And but yeah, I'll

2019
01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:21,880
Speaker 1: be doing that during the games, taking some notes so

2020
01:46:21,920 --> 01:46:24,840
Speaker 1: that I'm prepped for the post game. And when when

2021
01:46:24,840 --> 01:46:28,360
Speaker 1: you have to do pregame with guys like Chris and

2022
01:46:28,560 --> 01:46:31,720
Speaker 1: Sal that just run me in circles because they cover

2023
01:46:31,800 --> 01:46:34,560
Speaker 1: the Bills all week. They're both smarter than me, also

2024
01:46:34,400 --> 01:46:36,840
Speaker 1: way more experience. But then they cover the Bills all week.

2025
01:46:36,880 --> 01:46:39,960
Speaker 1: I'm studying for these college games as well, and then

2026
01:46:40,000 --> 01:46:42,080
Speaker 1: I go there get schooled, and then I get mad

2027
01:46:42,320 --> 01:46:44,200
Speaker 1: and she's phenomenal. So I'm gonna have to do a

2028
01:46:44,200 --> 01:46:47,040
Speaker 1: lot of homework this year. Yeah, and come not for nothing,

2029
01:46:47,040 --> 01:46:48,559
Speaker 1: but this year is going to be different than any

2030
01:46:48,600 --> 01:46:50,599
Speaker 1: other for all the reasons we've said, but also this

2031
01:46:50,680 --> 01:46:54,240
Speaker 1: opening weekend, Eric, go into what your thoughts are about

2032
01:46:54,280 --> 01:46:57,280
Speaker 1: a coaching staff and a team, your offensive lineman and

2033
01:46:57,320 --> 01:46:59,840
Speaker 1: your guys in your room that you were with going

2034
01:46:59,840 --> 01:47:04,200
Speaker 1: into a game where you have no idea who and

2035
01:47:04,320 --> 01:47:07,080
Speaker 1: what you're gonna line up against on opening Day. There

2036
01:47:07,160 --> 01:47:09,840
Speaker 1: is so many unknowns, and I think it's maybe the

2037
01:47:09,880 --> 01:47:13,320
Speaker 1: most unprecedented weekend you've had in the NFL for decades

2038
01:47:13,360 --> 01:47:17,120
Speaker 1: upon decades. Yeah. Absolutely. I mean you saw it with

2039
01:47:17,200 --> 01:47:20,400
Speaker 1: the first i'll call it big college football game of

2040
01:47:20,439 --> 01:47:22,840
Speaker 1: the season. It was Navy BYU was a one point

2041
01:47:22,920 --> 01:47:27,320
Speaker 1: spread and ended up as a forty a fifty two

2042
01:47:27,320 --> 01:47:30,160
Speaker 1: point game. Fifty five fifty two point game, I believe.

2043
01:47:30,479 --> 01:47:32,799
Speaker 1: And so that's how far Vegas was off. Just because

2044
01:47:33,200 --> 01:47:35,800
Speaker 1: it's hard to predict what these teams are gonna come

2045
01:47:35,800 --> 01:47:40,440
Speaker 1: out looking like NFL teams cannot run full padded scrimmages

2046
01:47:40,520 --> 01:47:43,280
Speaker 1: week in and week out like college teams do. You're

2047
01:47:43,320 --> 01:47:45,639
Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna get dinged up too bad. Your season

2048
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:49,400
Speaker 1: is too long with sixteen games to do that in practice.

2049
01:47:49,479 --> 01:47:52,760
Speaker 1: So what does it look like Week one? You know,

2050
01:47:52,840 --> 01:47:54,960
Speaker 1: both these teams get their coaching stass back a lot

2051
01:47:54,960 --> 01:47:57,800
Speaker 1: of continuity, you know, especially on the defensive side of

2052
01:47:57,800 --> 01:48:00,320
Speaker 1: the ball. Up front for the Jets, they look same

2053
01:48:00,400 --> 01:48:03,000
Speaker 1: upfront for the Bills for the most part, besides John

2054
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:06,519
Speaker 1: Feliciano being out and maybe some Daryl Williams being in

2055
01:48:06,560 --> 01:48:08,800
Speaker 1: there at right tackle, a lot of that's gonna look

2056
01:48:08,840 --> 01:48:11,680
Speaker 1: the same, UM, and so you kind of you ask

2057
01:48:11,760 --> 01:48:14,040
Speaker 1: me about my position group and so that that'll be

2058
01:48:14,080 --> 01:48:19,360
Speaker 1: similar upfront. U. But you know, for for guys that

2059
01:48:19,400 --> 01:48:22,400
Speaker 1: are entering the league this year, it's gonna be extremely

2060
01:48:22,439 --> 01:48:28,080
Speaker 1: tough to not have UM that segue from h OTAs

2061
01:48:28,400 --> 01:48:31,519
Speaker 1: to training camp, ramp it up to preseason games, ramp

2062
01:48:31,520 --> 01:48:33,800
Speaker 1: it up, and then a regular season game. You get

2063
01:48:33,840 --> 01:48:37,200
Speaker 1: that natural progression. They get no OTAs, they get training camp,

2064
01:48:37,439 --> 01:48:40,439
Speaker 1: but it was kind of a watered down, slow moving

2065
01:48:40,479 --> 01:48:42,799
Speaker 1: training camp and then boom, now you got a regular

2066
01:48:42,840 --> 01:48:47,040
Speaker 1: season game and you're against these grown men veterans. And

2067
01:48:46,840 --> 01:48:49,440
Speaker 1: I and my last point on this, I can't imagine

2068
01:48:49,960 --> 01:48:53,800
Speaker 1: having a new staff and not getting that time a

2069
01:48:53,960 --> 01:48:57,880
Speaker 1: and OTAs, but be to even figure out stuff in

2070
01:48:57,880 --> 01:49:01,000
Speaker 1: a preseason game other than one against the guys that

2071
01:49:01,000 --> 01:49:04,080
Speaker 1: you're simply working against a practice. So, Eric, I know

2072
01:49:04,160 --> 01:49:06,840
Speaker 1: that the team named captains today. You are a former

2073
01:49:06,880 --> 01:49:11,120
Speaker 1: captain yourself, so maybe just walk us through what that's like.

2074
01:49:11,280 --> 01:49:14,040
Speaker 1: When you're elected by your peers and teammates in your

2075
01:49:14,080 --> 01:49:16,920
Speaker 1: own locker room, and you know you're given that distinction

2076
01:49:17,840 --> 01:49:22,479
Speaker 1: as an unquestioned and recognized leader on your roster. Yeah,

2077
01:49:22,479 --> 01:49:26,280
Speaker 1: it's an unbelievable honor. I'm extremely proud, and I want

2078
01:49:26,280 --> 01:49:29,040
Speaker 1: to congratulate all the guys that were nominated captain. Some

2079
01:49:29,080 --> 01:49:31,840
Speaker 1: of these guys are so young. It's phenomenal to have

2080
01:49:32,320 --> 01:49:35,479
Speaker 1: young leaders like that within the organization. But I always

2081
01:49:35,479 --> 01:49:39,799
Speaker 1: said that anytime you're voted on any type of award

2082
01:49:39,880 --> 01:49:44,080
Speaker 1: recognition amongst your peers, which this is voted on by

2083
01:49:44,160 --> 01:49:46,679
Speaker 1: the players and coaches, and it's an extreme honor, whether

2084
01:49:46,720 --> 01:49:49,600
Speaker 1: it's being a captain or the Walter Payton Man of

2085
01:49:49,600 --> 01:49:51,960
Speaker 1: the Year nominee or whatever it is. When you're voted

2086
01:49:52,240 --> 01:49:55,679
Speaker 1: amongst your teammates and you have their respect, man, there's

2087
01:49:55,800 --> 01:49:59,400
Speaker 1: there's nothing sweeter. Yeah, And I think it's pretty important

2088
01:49:59,439 --> 01:50:03,720
Speaker 1: too to those players themselves. I mean, you know, you

2089
01:50:03,840 --> 01:50:05,600
Speaker 1: got to have one from each position group. I know

2090
01:50:05,680 --> 01:50:07,559
Speaker 1: that kind of thing, but to have a guy and

2091
01:50:07,680 --> 01:50:09,920
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of the usual suspects. And it's easy

2092
01:50:09,920 --> 01:50:11,360
Speaker 1: for US fans and say, yeah, of course he's going

2093
01:50:11,400 --> 01:50:12,680
Speaker 1: to be a captain. Of course he's going to be

2094
01:50:12,720 --> 01:50:16,000
Speaker 1: a captain. But there are some guys who have that

2095
01:50:16,120 --> 01:50:19,080
Speaker 1: about them who don't get elected captain, who had or

2096
01:50:19,439 --> 01:50:21,559
Speaker 1: probably okay with the probably voted for some of these

2097
01:50:21,560 --> 01:50:24,000
Speaker 1: guys as well. But there's no question that when you're

2098
01:50:24,000 --> 01:50:27,120
Speaker 1: a captain, it's not like hockey where you're the guy

2099
01:50:27,120 --> 01:50:31,160
Speaker 1: that is also the social director either. It also a

2100
01:50:31,200 --> 01:50:33,439
Speaker 1: lot of it it goes beyond that as well, talk

2101
01:50:33,479 --> 01:50:36,080
Speaker 1: about what you know, some of the xes and those

2102
01:50:36,120 --> 01:50:37,960
Speaker 1: and some of the responsibilities that come along with being

2103
01:50:37,960 --> 01:50:41,320
Speaker 1: a captain on an NFL team. Yeah, and the Bills

2104
01:50:41,320 --> 01:50:44,240
Speaker 1: are up to seven captains, and I think that's less

2105
01:50:44,240 --> 01:50:47,160
Speaker 1: of a watered down effect for these captains is it's

2106
01:50:47,280 --> 01:50:50,840
Speaker 1: more of a testament of the amount of quality individuals

2107
01:50:51,720 --> 01:50:55,200
Speaker 1: that Brandon Being and Sean McDermott have filled this team with.

2108
01:50:55,280 --> 01:50:58,000
Speaker 1: Because there's a number of other guys that could be

2109
01:50:58,080 --> 01:51:01,200
Speaker 1: voted captains. You have Dion Dawkins rep ending the offensive line,

2110
01:51:01,400 --> 01:51:04,200
Speaker 1: but for my time with the organist being back around

2111
01:51:04,200 --> 01:51:06,360
Speaker 1: the organization last year, would be very easy for me

2112
01:51:06,439 --> 01:51:09,920
Speaker 1: to say Mitch Morris or John Feliciano could could be

2113
01:51:10,280 --> 01:51:15,080
Speaker 1: in that role. And there's a number of different examples

2114
01:51:15,080 --> 01:51:19,760
Speaker 1: throughout the offense and defensive guys that could potentially be captains.

2115
01:51:20,120 --> 01:51:22,519
Speaker 1: And these guys just have the utmost respect of it.

2116
01:51:22,680 --> 01:51:25,360
Speaker 1: And you talk about how much it means to somebody.

2117
01:51:26,280 --> 01:51:30,120
Speaker 1: It still irks me that I have a captain's patch

2118
01:51:30,240 --> 01:51:32,920
Speaker 1: with only the three stars filled in and not the

2119
01:51:32,960 --> 01:51:36,360
Speaker 1: full gold because during Rex's two years he didn't elect

2120
01:51:36,400 --> 01:51:39,880
Speaker 1: captains while I was a captain a year prior to that.

2121
01:51:40,000 --> 01:51:43,719
Speaker 1: In both the years after, or sorry, two years prior

2122
01:51:43,760 --> 01:51:46,120
Speaker 1: and one year after, you would have assumed I would

2123
01:51:46,120 --> 01:51:48,080
Speaker 1: have been captains of those teams. I was on our

2124
01:51:48,320 --> 01:51:51,600
Speaker 1: little leadership group that it consisted of pretty much me

2125
01:51:51,680 --> 01:51:55,000
Speaker 1: and Kyle and Fred and maybe tyroad of times. And

2126
01:51:55,040 --> 01:51:58,240
Speaker 1: so it irks me that I don't have that big

2127
01:51:58,280 --> 01:52:00,639
Speaker 1: gold patch, and that's more of a prior thing, but

2128
01:52:01,080 --> 01:52:04,639
Speaker 1: it shows you what it means, especially for an offensive Linema.

2129
01:52:04,680 --> 01:52:06,880
Speaker 1: When you don't get a lot of stats, it means

2130
01:52:06,880 --> 01:52:10,639
Speaker 1: a ton to be elected a captain. Yeah, I wanted

2131
01:52:10,680 --> 01:52:13,280
Speaker 1: to take it a step further. You know, Dion Dawkins

2132
01:52:13,360 --> 01:52:15,280
Speaker 1: is one of those captains. He obviously got a big

2133
01:52:15,320 --> 01:52:17,599
Speaker 1: contract extension. We just saw Trey White get a big

2134
01:52:17,640 --> 01:52:21,040
Speaker 1: contract extension over the weekend. Those were two players that

2135
01:52:21,120 --> 01:52:22,840
Speaker 1: you saw come in the door. I mean, they were

2136
01:52:22,840 --> 01:52:26,720
Speaker 1: your teammates when they were rookies, and I'm just I

2137
01:52:26,800 --> 01:52:28,519
Speaker 1: know you've been kind of looking at them a little

2138
01:52:28,520 --> 01:52:31,080
Speaker 1: bit more from afar now these last couple of years.

2139
01:52:31,560 --> 01:52:36,000
Speaker 1: But maybe spell out for us if you even saw

2140
01:52:36,200 --> 01:52:40,360
Speaker 1: at that early time in their careers the trajectory that

2141
01:52:40,400 --> 01:52:46,080
Speaker 1: they aren't on now as players, young veterans in this league. Yeah,

2142
01:52:46,120 --> 01:52:49,200
Speaker 1: trudevious wine, I saw it immediately. He came in his

2143
01:52:49,360 --> 01:52:52,080
Speaker 1: first year and was contesting all of our receivers the

2144
01:52:52,120 --> 01:52:54,360
Speaker 1: second he hit the field. He was a four year

2145
01:52:54,360 --> 01:52:57,559
Speaker 1: guy from LSU, so he came in extremely mature. It's

2146
01:52:57,560 --> 01:53:00,200
Speaker 1: been well documented, but he was their number eighteen down

2147
01:53:00,200 --> 01:53:02,680
Speaker 1: at LSU. That shows you what type of guy is.

2148
01:53:02,720 --> 01:53:04,960
Speaker 1: Every year people fight to wear that number eighteen down

2149
01:53:05,040 --> 01:53:07,559
Speaker 1: at LSU. It kind of stands for who they want

2150
01:53:07,560 --> 01:53:10,040
Speaker 1: their program to be represented by. And that was true

2151
01:53:10,080 --> 01:53:13,200
Speaker 1: Davias White. So he's been that guy since the second

2152
01:53:13,240 --> 01:53:14,719
Speaker 1: he got in the building. It was just a matter

2153
01:53:14,760 --> 01:53:16,040
Speaker 1: of when he was going to get paid. That's a

2154
01:53:16,040 --> 01:53:20,000
Speaker 1: funny clip there shows probably why he's the top cornerback well,

2155
01:53:20,040 --> 01:53:22,080
Speaker 1: I guess now second highest paid cornerback in the game

2156
01:53:22,080 --> 01:53:24,720
Speaker 1: and now one of the top paid resenters. But and

2157
01:53:24,760 --> 01:53:27,760
Speaker 1: then as far as Deon Dawkins goes, it's always a

2158
01:53:27,800 --> 01:53:31,120
Speaker 1: little harder to project offensive lineman now in the NFL,

2159
01:53:31,240 --> 01:53:34,000
Speaker 1: especially because the college game is so different. Well, Deon

2160
01:53:34,120 --> 01:53:37,759
Speaker 1: Dawkins was a little different. He was a throwback style

2161
01:53:37,840 --> 01:53:40,479
Speaker 1: offensive lineman from the second he walked in the door.

2162
01:53:40,479 --> 01:53:43,240
Speaker 1: And I say that because he finished guys. He played

2163
01:53:43,280 --> 01:53:46,920
Speaker 1: so physical and at Temple he ran somewhat of a

2164
01:53:46,960 --> 01:53:49,000
Speaker 1: pro style offense, so he was used to put in

2165
01:53:49,040 --> 01:53:51,719
Speaker 1: his hand in the dirt. He used to making calls

2166
01:53:51,720 --> 01:53:54,240
Speaker 1: and communicating at the line of scrimmage, which a lot

2167
01:53:54,280 --> 01:53:58,000
Speaker 1: of young offensive lineman struggle with. And you know, at first,

2168
01:53:58,040 --> 01:54:00,600
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins is six three. We didn't know sarily is

2169
01:54:00,600 --> 01:54:02,799
Speaker 1: he going to play guard? He's gonna be playing tackle,

2170
01:54:02,880 --> 01:54:05,479
Speaker 1: whatever may be. But he picked up the offense quick.

2171
01:54:05,800 --> 01:54:09,479
Speaker 1: He was extremely coachable and what he was able to

2172
01:54:09,520 --> 01:54:12,200
Speaker 1: do in filling in for Corty Glenna's rookie year. You

2173
01:54:12,240 --> 01:54:15,240
Speaker 1: talked about his career trajectory when he played well as

2174
01:54:15,320 --> 01:54:18,160
Speaker 1: a as a rookie in the NFL at left tackle.

2175
01:54:18,880 --> 01:54:21,360
Speaker 1: I mean, that's setting your career up for success. And

2176
01:54:21,400 --> 01:54:24,200
Speaker 1: he never left that spot, even though over the next year,

2177
01:54:24,280 --> 01:54:26,360
Speaker 1: maybe even two years, people said, well, are they going

2178
01:54:26,400 --> 01:54:29,360
Speaker 1: to slide Dion in? Could he truly be the left

2179
01:54:29,360 --> 01:54:32,400
Speaker 1: tackle of this organization? Well, now he's proven it, yeah,

2180
01:54:32,440 --> 01:54:34,600
Speaker 1: and real quick. Just to follow up on that, I

2181
01:54:34,720 --> 01:54:37,720
Speaker 1: know that Dion In signing the extension. When we interviewed him,

2182
01:54:38,000 --> 01:54:41,920
Speaker 1: he was very revealing in why his career took a

2183
01:54:41,920 --> 01:54:45,160
Speaker 1: step back in twenty eighteen. He admitted to leaning maybe

2184
01:54:45,160 --> 01:54:47,480
Speaker 1: a little bit too much on Richie Incognito. He had

2185
01:54:47,840 --> 01:54:49,960
Speaker 1: he had a Pro Bowl left guard next to him

2186
01:54:50,040 --> 01:54:52,880
Speaker 1: as a rookie, which he said, there were things that

2187
01:54:52,920 --> 01:54:55,520
Speaker 1: I missed that Richie covered up for me and made

2188
01:54:55,600 --> 01:54:57,520
Speaker 1: me look good on And then the next year when

2189
01:54:57,520 --> 01:55:00,800
Speaker 1: he wasn't there, I didn't have that all back option,

2190
01:55:01,000 --> 01:55:04,320
Speaker 1: and I became a victim of my own circumstance, and

2191
01:55:04,400 --> 01:55:07,120
Speaker 1: he talked about the process he had to go through

2192
01:55:07,200 --> 01:55:09,160
Speaker 1: to get his game back to a level where he

2193
01:55:09,200 --> 01:55:11,640
Speaker 1: felt it was acceptable. I felt that was very telling

2194
01:55:12,120 --> 01:55:16,600
Speaker 1: and very self effacing by him to say all of that. Yeah,

2195
01:55:16,640 --> 01:55:20,800
Speaker 1: for sure, and he's being humble, probably beyond what he should,

2196
01:55:20,840 --> 01:55:22,800
Speaker 1: and that just shows you the type of guy he is.

2197
01:55:22,880 --> 01:55:24,480
Speaker 1: That's the type of guy you want to bring into

2198
01:55:24,520 --> 01:55:29,640
Speaker 1: your organization. But Dion, what he missed without Richie being there,

2199
01:55:30,040 --> 01:55:32,040
Speaker 1: A lot of that would probably be on the mental

2200
01:55:32,120 --> 01:55:35,640
Speaker 1: side of things, because Richie was so experienced, so smart,

2201
01:55:35,680 --> 01:55:37,560
Speaker 1: he could give him a heads up what's coming. And

2202
01:55:37,600 --> 01:55:40,840
Speaker 1: when you lose that sometimes it's tough. And as a

2203
01:55:40,880 --> 01:55:43,880
Speaker 1: young player you're allowed to rely on the veterans. We

2204
01:55:43,920 --> 01:55:46,520
Speaker 1: want you to rely on the veterans. But then for

2205
01:55:47,280 --> 01:55:50,200
Speaker 1: Richie to be gone in that second year, yes, And

2206
01:55:52,160 --> 01:55:54,600
Speaker 1: I always say, you know from an offensive line perspective

2207
01:55:54,760 --> 01:55:57,400
Speaker 1: that they were getting beat a lot of times early

2208
01:55:57,480 --> 01:55:59,720
Speaker 1: in games in his second year, Well, it's a lot

2209
01:55:59,720 --> 01:56:02,000
Speaker 1: harder or the play offensive line when you're trying to

2210
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:04,640
Speaker 1: come back from behind and the defensive ends or teeing

2211
01:56:04,680 --> 01:56:07,280
Speaker 1: off on you every play like they were for him

2212
01:56:07,320 --> 01:56:09,680
Speaker 1: as opposed to last year when they're building leads, and

2213
01:56:10,120 --> 01:56:13,400
Speaker 1: I think it all kind of correlates, but I'm extremely

2214
01:56:13,440 --> 01:56:15,920
Speaker 1: proud of the progress that Dion's made through his career.

2215
01:56:16,680 --> 01:56:19,200
Speaker 1: Ericliss talked about one last thing about Week one of

2216
01:56:19,240 --> 01:56:22,240
Speaker 1: the National Football League. It's been my kind of contention

2217
01:56:22,280 --> 01:56:24,200
Speaker 1: that it's gonna be a lot of unknowns. And I

2218
01:56:24,200 --> 01:56:26,720
Speaker 1: think some of these games, I don't know which ones,

2219
01:56:26,760 --> 01:56:28,560
Speaker 1: who knows, but I think there's gonna be some games

2220
01:56:28,560 --> 01:56:31,280
Speaker 1: that maybe in a league where most of the games

2221
01:56:31,280 --> 01:56:35,600
Speaker 1: are one touchdown games or three point games, very tightly contested,

2222
01:56:35,640 --> 01:56:38,240
Speaker 1: I think there may be more than a handful of

2223
01:56:38,240 --> 01:56:41,040
Speaker 1: games to get out of hand. They go sideways in

2224
01:56:41,040 --> 01:56:43,680
Speaker 1: a hurry because of all the unknowns and the and

2225
01:56:43,760 --> 01:56:49,040
Speaker 1: the unpredictability of Week one. And we got guys here,

2226
01:56:49,160 --> 01:56:51,960
Speaker 1: Eric preparing for the Jets. We got Trey White saying

2227
01:56:51,960 --> 01:56:55,360
Speaker 1: he's watching Denzel MIM's Baylor tape. We got Jerry Hughes

2228
01:56:55,360 --> 01:56:58,720
Speaker 1: saying he's watching McKay Beckton Louisville tape because they got

2229
01:56:58,720 --> 01:57:00,960
Speaker 1: nothing else to go on, right, So there's all the Yeah,

2230
01:57:00,960 --> 01:57:03,760
Speaker 1: there's all these unknowns, and because of that, there's gonna

2231
01:57:03,800 --> 01:57:07,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna be difficult to prepare, particularly in a shortened

2232
01:57:07,160 --> 01:57:10,120
Speaker 1: and abbreviated offseason, with some teams with no continuity and

2233
01:57:10,160 --> 01:57:12,920
Speaker 1: some teams with a great deal of continuity. I just think,

2234
01:57:13,440 --> 01:57:15,400
Speaker 1: for the first time in a long time, this week

2235
01:57:15,440 --> 01:57:18,040
Speaker 1: one of the National Football League is not gonna be

2236
01:57:18,120 --> 01:57:22,000
Speaker 1: the level playing field that we've come to expect. Yeah,

2237
01:57:22,040 --> 01:57:24,600
Speaker 1: first off, I need to shoot Jerry Hughes a text

2238
01:57:24,640 --> 01:57:29,840
Speaker 1: after this, because I've watched every yeah right analyst for

2239
01:57:29,920 --> 01:57:32,480
Speaker 1: the ACC Network and as a fan of my all

2240
01:57:32,520 --> 01:57:34,960
Speaker 1: of the mod at Louisville. But yeah, I think you're

2241
01:57:35,000 --> 01:57:37,440
Speaker 1: I think you're spot on, Steve with your assessment of that,

2242
01:57:38,080 --> 01:57:40,520
Speaker 1: and in your analysis is wal Chris. I mean, I

2243
01:57:40,560 --> 01:57:44,040
Speaker 1: think some of these games could could get sideways. You know,

2244
01:57:44,080 --> 01:57:47,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to point fingers, but when you talk

2245
01:57:47,560 --> 01:57:50,480
Speaker 1: about some of these new coaching staffs, you talk about

2246
01:57:50,480 --> 01:57:53,760
Speaker 1: a team in Cincinnati that's got I mean, they're gonna

2247
01:57:53,840 --> 01:57:56,560
Speaker 1: roll out with a first year quarterback who's never played

2248
01:57:56,560 --> 01:57:59,680
Speaker 1: a preseason game, and the Bengals are talking about what

2249
01:57:59,800 --> 01:58:02,120
Speaker 1: they they'll have better protection this year. They get their

2250
01:58:02,120 --> 01:58:06,360
Speaker 1: first round pick back from the year before, their left tackle, well,

2251
01:58:06,400 --> 01:58:07,960
Speaker 1: he hasn't played a game. He was hurt all of

2252
01:58:08,040 --> 01:58:11,040
Speaker 1: last year. He's essentially rookie, and then you got Tee

2253
01:58:11,120 --> 01:58:13,520
Speaker 1: Higgins at one of the receiver spots. He's a rookie.

2254
01:58:13,720 --> 01:58:16,120
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows what you're getting from that side

2255
01:58:16,160 --> 01:58:20,760
Speaker 1: of the football, And so that's where some of those games, yes,

2256
01:58:20,840 --> 01:58:24,240
Speaker 1: I could, I could see some lopsided scores. All right, Well, Eric,

2257
01:58:24,280 --> 01:58:26,840
Speaker 1: we thank you very much for joining us. We're glad

2258

01:58:29,520 --> 01:58:32,840

2261
01:58:36,200 --> 01:58:38,280

2265
01:58:44,960 --> 01:58:46,800
Speaker 1: you that bottle of bourbon last year after you did

2266
01:58:46,840 --> 01:58:51,480
Speaker 1: my podcast that way. Yeah, I'll job whenever if it's

2267
01:58:51,480 --> 01:58:54,680
Speaker 1: that kind of week. Yeah, I'll start drinking it in

2268
01:58:54,720 --> 01:58:56,800
Speaker 1: the first quarter on Sunday. If it's that kind of game,

2269
01:58:58,360 --> 01:59:00,200
Speaker 1: don't even bring it. I don't like that. I like

2270
01:59:00,240 --> 01:59:02,040
Speaker 1: the sound of that. We want to go in all

2271
01:59:02,080 --> 01:59:06,440
Speaker 1: the right way. Thanks, he would talk to you, all right.

2272
01:59:06,440 --> 01:59:08,560
Speaker 1: All right, that's a good point. That's a fair point.

2273
01:59:08,560 --> 01:59:10,360
Speaker 1: All right, thanks for joining us, Eric, We appreciate We'll

2274
01:59:10,360 --> 01:59:14,280
Speaker 1: see you soon, all right. Eric would joining us here

2275
01:59:14,280 --> 01:59:17,000
Speaker 1: on one Bills Live as his duties have shifted and

2276
01:59:17,080 --> 01:59:20,520
Speaker 1: changed due to the pandemic and the travel restrictions they're in,

2277
01:59:20,560 --> 01:59:22,560
Speaker 1: because he'll be back. I mean he was playing last

2278
01:59:22,600 --> 01:59:25,680
Speaker 1: year because he does ACC network and he does Bills games.

2279
01:59:25,720 --> 01:59:27,840
Speaker 1: I mean he was playing trains and Automobiles last year.

2280
01:59:27,880 --> 01:59:29,480
Speaker 1: I mean, oh yeah, there were a couple of games

2281
01:59:29,520 --> 01:59:32,280
Speaker 1: where you know, we were we were cutting it close,

2282
01:59:32,320 --> 01:59:34,440
Speaker 1: like is he gonna get here? What's going on? Like

2283
01:59:34,480 --> 01:59:36,440
Speaker 1: he has a night game somewhere on a Saturday night

2284
01:59:36,480 --> 01:59:37,960
Speaker 1: and he's got to take an early morning flight to

2285
01:59:37,960 --> 01:59:40,440
Speaker 1: wherever the Bills are playing. So there were there were

2286
01:59:40,440 --> 01:59:43,560
Speaker 1: some hairy weekends for him. Um, but he made it work.

2287
01:59:43,680 --> 01:59:45,720
Speaker 1: So I was gonna be a lot easier for him

2288
01:59:45,760 --> 01:59:47,360
Speaker 1: now because he can't go anywhere. Right. I was in

2289
01:59:47,360 --> 01:59:49,760
Speaker 1: that lifestyle for a couple of decades, and there's some

2290
01:59:49,840 --> 01:59:53,440
Speaker 1: weekends and they're not all hectic, but once where you're

2291
01:59:53,440 --> 01:59:56,400
Speaker 1: waking up sometimes once in a while. I know this too,

2292
01:59:56,400 --> 01:59:58,920
Speaker 1: when you're usually it's on the trip home or whatever,

2293
01:59:59,080 --> 02:00:01,560
Speaker 1: when you're going through a airport and you're on the

2294
02:00:01,720 --> 02:00:06,240
Speaker 1: escalator moving walkway, it's like twelve o'clock at night, and

2295
02:00:08,440 --> 02:00:12,560
Speaker 1: you literally can't remember the city you just left. It's like, wait,

2296
02:00:12,760 --> 02:00:14,680
Speaker 1: wait a minute, what am I doing? Because you starting

2297
02:00:14,880 --> 02:00:16,760
Speaker 1: because already after that game, you're starting to think about

2298
02:00:16,760 --> 02:00:18,760
Speaker 1: the next week and your travel players for that week

2299
02:00:18,760 --> 02:00:20,840
Speaker 1: and the preparation, and it's all behind you. And then

2300
02:00:20,840 --> 02:00:22,680
Speaker 1: you wake up for a minute and you're thinking, wait

2301
02:00:22,720 --> 02:00:26,440
Speaker 1: a minute, where am I going? Nowhere? Where was I am?

2302
02:00:26,680 --> 02:00:29,960
Speaker 1: You literally don't know if you're coming or going. It's

2303
02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:31,880
Speaker 1: just one of those things that happens to you spend

2304
02:00:31,880 --> 02:00:34,280
Speaker 1: so much time in the weekends, are so compressed and

2305
02:00:34,360 --> 02:00:38,080
Speaker 1: so fully. You know you're traveling, you got meetings right away,

2306
02:00:38,120 --> 02:00:40,000
Speaker 1: you got a dinner out, you're trying to get on

2307
02:00:40,040 --> 02:00:41,960
Speaker 1: the same page as your producer director. You wake up

2308
02:00:41,960 --> 02:00:45,320
Speaker 1: the next morning, you're cramming information that you've got for

2309
02:00:45,400 --> 02:00:47,919
Speaker 1: that weekend, and then setting up for meetings that afternoon

2310
02:00:47,920 --> 02:00:49,640
Speaker 1: with the visiting team and you go to their hotel

2311
02:00:49,680 --> 02:00:51,520
Speaker 1: and you have those meetings, and that night after that,

2312
02:00:51,600 --> 02:00:53,960
Speaker 1: you got a production meeting with everybody, the stats guy,

2313
02:00:54,040 --> 02:00:56,040
Speaker 1: the graphics guy. You're getting ready. You get up and

2314
02:00:56,040 --> 02:00:57,760
Speaker 1: then you go to the game. You do the game,

2315
02:00:58,000 --> 02:01:00,240
Speaker 1: and you go from the game, straight from the game,

2316
02:01:00,880 --> 02:01:03,600
Speaker 1: police escort to the airport. You run in try and

2317
02:01:03,640 --> 02:01:05,720
Speaker 1: catch a flight. You know, it's that kind of week

2318
02:01:05,760 --> 02:01:10,680
Speaker 1: out and straight. A couple of those together and you know,

2319
02:01:10,720 --> 02:01:12,800
Speaker 1: you get an idea, You get pie eyed. Yeah, your

2320
02:01:13,320 --> 02:01:15,600
Speaker 1: brains are scrambled eggs about then, So all right, we

2321
02:01:15,640 --> 02:01:17,760
Speaker 1: gotta step aside. But when we come back, more from

2322
02:01:17,760 --> 02:01:20,200
Speaker 1: your thoughts on the tweet sheet on where you think

2323
02:01:20,240 --> 02:01:23,760
Speaker 1: the Bills will have the most success against the Jets

2324
02:01:23,800 --> 02:01:26,840
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and maybe a little NFL true Falls. All

2325
02:01:26,840 --> 02:01:28,680
Speaker 1: of that coming your way next year. On One Bill's Live,

2326
02:01:28,760 --> 02:01:31,400
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health, this is Buffalo Bill's Radio.

2327
02:01:44,400 --> 02:01:48,520
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you. We're motoring home on

2328
02:01:48,560 --> 02:01:52,960
Speaker 1: another edition of One Bills Live. The Wednesday edition. Practice

2329
02:01:53,160 --> 02:01:55,920
Speaker 1: came and went during the course of the show. Josh

2330
02:01:55,960 --> 02:02:00,400
Speaker 1: Norman a non participant and Taiwan Jones a limited part diticipant.

2331
02:02:00,400 --> 02:02:01,920
Speaker 1: We'll see if any other names pop up on the

2332
02:02:01,960 --> 02:02:05,200
Speaker 1: injury report, which should be out and about oh less

2333
02:02:05,200 --> 02:02:08,440
Speaker 1: than an hour and look on Buffalo bills dot com

2334
02:02:08,440 --> 02:02:11,800
Speaker 1: for the updates there on. That should also mention that

2335
02:02:11,880 --> 02:02:14,680
Speaker 1: this week's game sponsor against the Jets at Bills Stadium

2336
02:02:14,760 --> 02:02:21,280
Speaker 1: is ECMC. ECMC the difference between healthcare and Truecare. Time Now,

2337
02:02:21,360 --> 02:02:25,600
Speaker 1: Steve for one of our favorite portions of the program.

2338
02:02:25,680 --> 02:02:30,240
Speaker 1: It's time for a little NFL True false, brought to

2339
02:02:30,240 --> 02:02:33,200
Speaker 1: you by Yancy's Fancy, Anty's Fancy, New York's artists in

2340
02:02:33,280 --> 02:02:38,920
Speaker 1: Cheese and first Up Steve. Following negotiating his own deal,

2341
02:02:40,080 --> 02:02:44,680
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins would make a good GM. True or false.

2342
02:02:44,800 --> 02:02:47,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say at this point false. No question, He's

2343
02:02:47,400 --> 02:02:49,160
Speaker 1: got the he's got the chops to do it and

2344
02:02:49,520 --> 02:02:51,800
Speaker 1: the intelligence to get it done. But there's a lot

2345
02:02:51,880 --> 02:02:55,920
Speaker 1: more than being a GM than doing your own deal

2346
02:02:55,920 --> 02:02:59,400
Speaker 1: as a player slash agent, So yeah, I'd say no.

2347
02:02:59,520 --> 02:03:01,720
Speaker 1: I do find that it's interesting that he said the

2348
02:03:02,320 --> 02:03:07,120
Speaker 1: impetus behind this is stemming from a desire to run

2349
02:03:08,000 --> 02:03:10,760
Speaker 1: an operation once his playing career ends. I don't know

2350
02:03:10,800 --> 02:03:16,240
Speaker 1: if he means necessarily in football for an NFL franchise,

2351
02:03:16,760 --> 02:03:18,920
Speaker 1: but who knows. Maybe he's on the other side. There

2352
02:03:18,920 --> 02:03:22,000
Speaker 1: are a good number of players that have become agents

2353
02:03:22,880 --> 02:03:25,280
Speaker 1: in the way. I remember former Bill's offensive lineman Joe

2354
02:03:25,320 --> 02:03:27,960
Speaker 1: Panos was an agent for a little while after he retired.

2355
02:03:28,640 --> 02:03:30,720
Speaker 1: I think there's a few other examples of Bill's players.

2356
02:03:30,800 --> 02:03:32,520
Speaker 1: None of them are coming to our friend. Mike Lodish

2357
02:03:32,600 --> 02:03:34,400
Speaker 1: dabbled in that as well. He did a little bit

2358
02:03:34,400 --> 02:03:37,320
Speaker 1: of that. You're right, yeah, and there are several others

2359
02:03:37,680 --> 02:03:40,080
Speaker 1: that have done that to Martin Mayhew was GM of

2360
02:03:40,120 --> 02:03:42,960
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions, right, Martin Mayhew former teammate of Mind.

2361
02:03:43,000 --> 02:03:45,800
Speaker 1: So so it's not a foreign concept if he chooses

2362
02:03:45,840 --> 02:03:51,080
Speaker 1: to go that way. John Lynch has done is now GM,

2363
02:03:51,440 --> 02:03:54,840
Speaker 1: John Elway of course president and GM. There are guys

2364
02:03:54,880 --> 02:03:57,280
Speaker 1: out there capable of it, and certainly the league is

2365
02:03:57,320 --> 02:03:59,560
Speaker 1: full of really bright guys. Yeah, he said quote, I

2366
02:03:59,600 --> 02:04:01,040
Speaker 1: know one day I want to be a part of

2367
02:04:01,080 --> 02:04:03,120
Speaker 1: an organization to help build it. So I feel like

2368
02:04:03,160 --> 02:04:05,080
Speaker 1: this was a good time to learn and study everything

2369
02:04:05,080 --> 02:04:08,640
Speaker 1: that hopefully I'll be one day doing. So it's clear

2370
02:04:08,680 --> 02:04:13,120
Speaker 1: that those are his aspirations once his playing career is over. Um,

2371
02:04:15,000 --> 02:04:17,160
Speaker 1: I think he'd be one of the more higher profile

2372
02:04:17,320 --> 02:04:20,520
Speaker 1: players in league history to take on a role like that.

2373
02:04:20,720 --> 02:04:23,400
Speaker 1: Troy Vincent obviously is a higher up in the league office,

2374
02:04:23,520 --> 02:04:26,160
Speaker 1: vice President of Football Operations for the NFL. Yeah, he's

2375
02:04:26,280 --> 02:04:29,400
Speaker 1: he's a really sharp guy. John Elway, like I said,

2376
02:04:29,520 --> 02:04:33,040
Speaker 1: is now team executive. He's a team executive. John Lynch

2377
02:04:33,160 --> 02:04:36,680
Speaker 1: is a team executive. Yeah, there are examples. So, and

2378
02:04:36,720 --> 02:04:43,160
Speaker 1: then the the tight end that ran the Baltimore Ravens

2379
02:04:43,480 --> 02:04:46,560
Speaker 1: for for so long, and I can't remember his name,

2380
02:04:46,960 --> 02:04:48,800
Speaker 1: Brian Billick. No, no, no, no, no no. The tight

2381
02:04:48,920 --> 02:04:52,040
Speaker 1: end was with the Cleveland Browns Hall of Fame. Ozzie

2382
02:04:52,080 --> 02:04:54,880
Speaker 1: Knewsom is a great I can't I can remember Ozzie's name.

2383
02:04:55,000 --> 02:04:57,240
Speaker 1: Ozzy Knwsom is a great example. So there have been

2384
02:04:57,280 --> 02:04:59,600
Speaker 1: a lot of players who have gone down that road.

2385
02:05:00,920 --> 02:05:05,560
Speaker 1: It's and one reason it doesn't happen more often, Brownie,

2386
02:05:06,480 --> 02:05:09,680
Speaker 1: is that to get to that point, you have to

2387
02:05:10,760 --> 02:05:13,880
Speaker 1: go back to the bottom and start your way up.

2388
02:05:13,960 --> 02:05:16,360
Speaker 1: And you got to earn it every day. And a

2389
02:05:16,400 --> 02:05:20,720
Speaker 1: lot of players, particularly players who have excelled to the

2390
02:05:20,720 --> 02:05:23,440
Speaker 1: extent some of these guys have Ausy Newsom, John Elway certainly,

2391
02:05:23,440 --> 02:05:25,520
Speaker 1: and and other players. It has to be in you, well,

2392
02:05:25,520 --> 02:05:27,240
Speaker 1: there should be something you really wanted. Yeah, and we're

2393
02:05:27,240 --> 02:05:29,920
Speaker 1: seeing more and more players do this. I mean, Richard

2394
02:05:29,920 --> 02:05:33,600
Speaker 1: Sherman has negotiated his own contract. Laramy Tunsel just negotiated

2395
02:05:33,640 --> 02:05:38,200
Speaker 1: his extension last year. Bobby Wagner's done it, so there's

2396
02:05:38,280 --> 02:05:42,280
Speaker 1: active Larry Fitzgerald's done it. So active players have done

2397
02:05:42,320 --> 02:05:45,400
Speaker 1: this in recent years. So it's interesting to see where

2398
02:05:45,440 --> 02:05:48,480
Speaker 1: they will be, you know, down the line. But hey,

2399
02:05:48,520 --> 02:05:51,080
Speaker 1: that's an extra three percent in your pocket that you're

2400
02:05:51,080 --> 02:05:53,080
Speaker 1: not given to the agent. Well, when you're talking three

2401
02:05:53,120 --> 02:05:56,440
Speaker 1: percent on a fifteen, say fifty four million dollars two

2402
02:05:56,480 --> 02:05:59,800
Speaker 1: year extensions, what's three percent of that i'd take home

2403
02:05:59,840 --> 02:06:03,280
Speaker 1: at day of the one point five dollars deal. That's

2404
02:06:03,320 --> 02:06:05,960
Speaker 1: one point five on a fifty million dollars deal. So

2405
02:06:06,200 --> 02:06:10,600
Speaker 1: it's money in Europe. It's worth it to help. That's yeah.

2406
02:06:10,640 --> 02:06:12,720
Speaker 1: You could buy a pretty nice spin a sneeze at,

2407
02:06:12,840 --> 02:06:14,800
Speaker 1: you could buy a pretty nice pad just with what

2408
02:06:14,840 --> 02:06:17,640
Speaker 1: you save on the agent's feet. So, just just by

2409
02:06:17,720 --> 02:06:20,160
Speaker 1: virtue of the fact that he wanted to take ownership

2410
02:06:20,160 --> 02:06:21,600
Speaker 1: of this, I'll give him the benefit of the dow.

2411
02:06:21,600 --> 02:06:23,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say true for him just to kind of

2412
02:06:24,000 --> 02:06:27,640
Speaker 1: support his efforts and what his aspirations are. Okay, NFL

2413
02:06:27,720 --> 02:06:32,080
Speaker 1: true false. Number two, Ed Oliver will be this year's

2414
02:06:32,960 --> 02:06:37,960
Speaker 1: bill's breakout player. True or false? All right, Uh, let's

2415
02:06:37,960 --> 02:06:40,800
Speaker 1: see who are the candidates now? Well, I think you

2416
02:06:40,800 --> 02:06:44,360
Speaker 1: could say Devin Singletary's in that group, Dawson Knox and

2417
02:06:44,440 --> 02:06:46,200
Speaker 1: Knox is in that group. You know a lot of

2418
02:06:46,240 --> 02:06:48,520
Speaker 1: the draft picks from twenty nineteen, Zack Moss. I don't

2419
02:06:48,520 --> 02:06:50,320
Speaker 1: think he can rule out Zack Moss by virtue of

2420
02:06:50,320 --> 02:06:54,040
Speaker 1: the position that he plays a Japanessa AJ. But you

2421
02:06:54,080 --> 02:06:56,880
Speaker 1: know Tyler Bass that's in front of him, Tyler Bass.

2422
02:06:58,160 --> 02:07:00,800
Speaker 1: Our kickers ever really break out? Could? Why will you? Hey?

2423
02:07:00,840 --> 02:07:05,680
Speaker 1: It depends on the situation. Who else who we got? Um? Okay,

2424
02:07:05,760 --> 02:07:07,640
Speaker 1: let's say that. Let's say that's the menu of players

2425
02:07:07,640 --> 02:07:15,600
Speaker 1: you got AJ, Zach Moss, Knox, ed Oliver, and you're

2426
02:07:15,640 --> 02:07:17,640
Speaker 1: picking Ed Oliver off the top of all that. Is

2427
02:07:17,680 --> 02:07:24,840
Speaker 1: he the breakout player? I say yes? Why? I think

2428
02:07:24,880 --> 02:07:27,360
Speaker 1: he's going to have more opportunity and a better cast

2429
02:07:27,400 --> 02:07:29,880
Speaker 1: of guys around him. The defensive line is going to

2430
02:07:29,920 --> 02:07:31,920
Speaker 1: be the offensive line that they line that they face

2431
02:07:31,960 --> 02:07:34,040
Speaker 1: are going to be spread a little thinner, and Ed Oliver,

2432
02:07:34,720 --> 02:07:38,000
Speaker 1: given his skill set and his motor on game day,

2433
02:07:38,440 --> 02:07:41,640
Speaker 1: is going to I think he's gonna explode. I think

2434
02:07:41,640 --> 02:07:43,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna really take a step up. I think the

2435
02:07:43,760 --> 02:07:47,680
Speaker 1: the I think he was completely vindicated by what happened

2436
02:07:47,720 --> 02:07:51,640
Speaker 1: after his arrest down in Montgomery County, Texas, when he

2437
02:07:51,760 --> 02:07:55,920
Speaker 1: was completely exonerated, and it was kind of everybody's like,

2438
02:07:55,960 --> 02:07:58,280
Speaker 1: oh my gosh. It was just one more example of

2439
02:07:58,280 --> 02:08:00,600
Speaker 1: a guy going through something he didn't need to go through.

2440
02:08:01,400 --> 02:08:02,760
Speaker 1: And I think he's got a little bit of a

2441
02:08:02,840 --> 02:08:04,640
Speaker 1: chip on his shoulder for that to prove himself, not

2442
02:08:04,680 --> 02:08:08,120
Speaker 1: only to himself and his teammates, but also the fans

2443
02:08:08,120 --> 02:08:12,280
Speaker 1: who chimed in on social media. So I think he's

2444
02:08:12,320 --> 02:08:14,600
Speaker 1: going to be motivated. He's gonna have the opportunity, and

2445
02:08:14,640 --> 02:08:16,440
Speaker 1: I think he's got the talent and the skill set

2446
02:08:16,480 --> 02:08:18,760
Speaker 1: to do it. So I'm gonna say I think there

2447
02:08:18,760 --> 02:08:23,040
Speaker 1: are two other legitimate threats to Ed Oliver on the

2448
02:08:23,080 --> 02:08:26,320
Speaker 1: Bill's roster to be the breakout player for twenty twenty,

2449
02:08:26,840 --> 02:08:29,520
Speaker 1: and it's for similar reasons that you just outlined for Ed.

2450
02:08:29,800 --> 02:08:32,120
Speaker 1: I think it's Devin Singletary or Zach Moss. And the

2451
02:08:32,160 --> 02:08:35,680
Speaker 1: reason why is this passing game I think is going

2452
02:08:35,720 --> 02:08:38,360
Speaker 1: to be so much more productive than it's been in

2453
02:08:38,480 --> 02:08:41,520
Speaker 1: years past that it's going to give the running backs

2454
02:08:42,000 --> 02:08:45,480
Speaker 1: far more seven man boxes than maybe they've seen in

2455
02:08:45,920 --> 02:08:50,160
Speaker 1: a long time, because you have to respect Buffalo's passing

2456
02:08:50,160 --> 02:08:51,800
Speaker 1: game now with what they can put out there on

2457
02:08:51,840 --> 02:08:55,040
Speaker 1: the field, and you can't just drop that safety in

2458
02:08:55,080 --> 02:08:57,720
Speaker 1: the box and put a go eight man box all

2459
02:08:57,760 --> 02:08:59,520
Speaker 1: the time. And because of that, I think there's gonna

2460
02:08:59,520 --> 02:09:03,880
Speaker 1: be mores, more openings, more yards to be had for

2461
02:09:04,120 --> 02:09:07,760
Speaker 1: those guys. So I'm gonna say false and I will

2462
02:09:07,800 --> 02:09:12,240
Speaker 1: pick Devin Singletary as the breakout player. I think Ed

2463
02:09:12,280 --> 02:09:14,440
Speaker 1: can have a fantastic season. I think he is going

2464
02:09:14,720 --> 02:09:17,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna be the forgotten man, which sounds crazy when

2465
02:09:17,400 --> 02:09:19,520
Speaker 1: it was the guy was the ninth pick in the draft.

2466
02:09:20,240 --> 02:09:25,440
Speaker 1: But you got Mario Addison, you got Jerry Hughes, and

2467
02:09:25,480 --> 02:09:29,000
Speaker 1: then you've got Quentin Jefferson. I mean, those are guys

2468
02:09:29,040 --> 02:09:32,720
Speaker 1: with NFL pelts on the wall. They're gonna be drawing

2469
02:09:32,760 --> 02:09:35,560
Speaker 1: the attention. Ed's gonna have one on ones. You can't

2470
02:09:35,680 --> 02:09:38,520
Speaker 1: stop that guy one on one. You can't. We saw

2471
02:09:38,560 --> 02:09:43,240
Speaker 1: it last year. I mean he's going against Quenton Nelson

2472
02:09:43,240 --> 02:09:46,040
Speaker 1: in the preseason. Last year, the number six pick in

2473
02:09:46,040 --> 02:09:50,960
Speaker 1: the draft, and Ed's not. Ed's holding his own right.

2474
02:09:51,240 --> 02:09:54,800
Speaker 1: I mean, one on one is not something you want

2475
02:09:54,800 --> 02:09:56,320
Speaker 1: to be doing with that Oliver. And I think he's

2476
02:09:56,320 --> 02:09:58,120
Speaker 1: gonna get one on ones this year, so I think

2477
02:09:58,160 --> 02:09:59,640
Speaker 1: he could have a lot of success. But I think

2478
02:09:59,680 --> 02:10:02,200
Speaker 1: Devin could have equal success because he's gonna see a

2479
02:10:02,200 --> 02:10:04,080
Speaker 1: lot of seven man boxes and that's gonna be music

2480
02:10:04,080 --> 02:10:06,360
Speaker 1: to his ears. And the Bills running game will be interesting. Yeah,

2481
02:10:06,400 --> 02:10:09,360
Speaker 1: that's I think there's a lot of There are some

2482
02:10:09,400 --> 02:10:12,000
Speaker 1: candidates other than that Oliver to be the breakout player,

2483
02:10:12,560 --> 02:10:14,960
Speaker 1: but I'm putting my money on Ed Oliver. And okay,

2484
02:10:15,000 --> 02:10:17,800
Speaker 1: one word answer on NFL true false number three one

2485
02:10:17,800 --> 02:10:20,240
Speaker 1: word answer, gotta answer true or falls. No explanation because

2486
02:10:20,240 --> 02:10:22,600
Speaker 1: we're out of time here. Philip Rivers will contend for

2487
02:10:22,800 --> 02:10:29,120
Speaker 1: MVP in twenty twenty. True or false false. Yeah, I'm

2488
02:10:29,120 --> 02:10:32,440
Speaker 1: gonna say false too. Love Philip, but I just don't.

2489
02:10:32,480 --> 02:10:34,920
Speaker 1: I just don't think he's gonna be that prolific. All right,

2490
02:10:34,960 --> 02:10:36,960
Speaker 1: that's it for NFL True Falls brought to you by

2491
02:10:37,000 --> 02:10:38,840
Speaker 1: Yancy's Fancy. We have to take a break, but when

2492
02:10:38,880 --> 02:10:41,240
Speaker 1: we return, we will come back with what have we

2493
02:10:41,320 --> 02:10:44,880
Speaker 1: learned here? On today's show Steve Tasker Chris Brown for

2494
02:10:44,960 --> 02:10:47,120
Speaker 1: one more segment with you on One Bill's Live, presented

2495
02:10:47,120 --> 02:11:05,320
Speaker 1: by Collid to Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio time

2496
02:11:05,400 --> 02:11:08,480
Speaker 1: for What have we learned from today's show? Brought to

2497
02:11:08,520 --> 02:11:11,920
Speaker 1: you by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental company of

2498
02:11:11,920 --> 02:11:15,200
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. And on the show today, we learned

2499
02:11:15,200 --> 02:11:18,080
Speaker 1: that Eric Wood will have some different assignments due mainly

2500
02:11:18,120 --> 02:11:21,120
Speaker 1: to the COVID nineteen pandemic and the travel restrictions they

2501
02:11:21,120 --> 02:11:24,000
Speaker 1: are in from his state of Kentucky. Steve will be

2502
02:11:24,040 --> 02:11:28,280
Speaker 1: doing color commentary on the Bills Radio Network for games

2503
02:11:28,280 --> 02:11:31,560
Speaker 1: with Murph because Eric can't get here to do the

2504
02:11:31,600 --> 02:11:34,640
Speaker 1: games due to those travel restrictions, so he will be

2505
02:11:34,680 --> 02:11:37,640
Speaker 1: helping us pre and postgame. He'll be on the Bills

2506
02:11:37,720 --> 02:11:41,920
Speaker 1: Roundtable with myself and Sal and then postgame he'll be

2507
02:11:41,960 --> 02:11:45,440
Speaker 1: doing Bills Tonight with Maddy Glabs. So he'll still be

2508
02:11:46,000 --> 02:11:49,920
Speaker 1: present on our broadcasting properties, but he'll just have a

2509
02:11:49,960 --> 02:11:51,920
Speaker 1: little bit of a different role due to the restrictions

2510
02:11:51,920 --> 02:11:54,000
Speaker 1: that exist, and if they change, I know Steve is

2511
02:11:54,000 --> 02:11:56,480
Speaker 1: just going to keep the chair warm for Eric, so

2512
02:11:56,560 --> 02:11:59,000
Speaker 1: good on that. We also learned today that Josh Norman

2513
02:11:59,600 --> 02:12:01,920
Speaker 1: was not practicing. We're gonna have to see what how

2514
02:12:01,960 --> 02:12:04,000
Speaker 1: that unfolds as the week goes along. I would like

2515
02:12:04,040 --> 02:12:06,200
Speaker 1: to think given our history with this coaching staff and

2516
02:12:06,240 --> 02:12:07,960
Speaker 1: the medical staff in the way they handled they're just

2517
02:12:08,000 --> 02:12:10,560
Speaker 1: being as ultra cautious and they probably have some faith

2518
02:12:10,560 --> 02:12:13,600
Speaker 1: that Josh Norman knows enough about this defense, given his

2519
02:12:13,600 --> 02:12:16,200
Speaker 1: history with it and his scheme that and his experience,

2520
02:12:16,240 --> 02:12:17,800
Speaker 1: that he'll be able to click it on and go

2521
02:12:17,920 --> 02:12:20,680
Speaker 1: without having a full week of practice. Certainly he's taken

2522
02:12:20,720 --> 02:12:24,600
Speaker 1: mental rips. Levi Wallace was good to go today, although

2523
02:12:24,600 --> 02:12:26,920
Speaker 1: we didn't notice he had a leg wrapped. Yeah, so

2524
02:12:26,960 --> 02:12:28,480
Speaker 1: we see if he was full go or if he

2525
02:12:28,480 --> 02:12:30,400
Speaker 1: was limited when the injury report comes out in about

2526
02:12:30,400 --> 02:12:33,680
Speaker 1: a half an hour or so. But they've been really healthy.

2527
02:12:33,760 --> 02:12:36,440
Speaker 1: They've been a really healthy football team for the last

2528
02:12:36,520 --> 02:12:41,760
Speaker 1: two years. Either that is systemic and they're good at

2529
02:12:41,800 --> 02:12:44,720
Speaker 1: staying that way, or they were lucky and now they're

2530
02:12:45,000 --> 02:12:46,720
Speaker 1: maybe you know, I think it's about guys doing the

2531
02:12:46,800 --> 02:12:48,720
Speaker 1: right thing too. They're good at that, and a lot

2532
02:12:48,760 --> 02:12:51,080
Speaker 1: of these guys and players believe in preventative maintenance. And

2533
02:12:51,080 --> 02:12:52,840
Speaker 1: when you see your teammates getting through a whole season.

2534
02:12:52,880 --> 02:12:54,520
Speaker 1: By doing the right things, you're compelled to do the

2535
02:12:54,600 --> 02:12:57,600
Speaker 1: right thing. Also, the last thing we learned is that

2536
02:12:57,920 --> 02:13:00,480
Speaker 1: we don't know anything definitively yet about the right side

2537
02:13:00,520 --> 02:13:03,080
Speaker 1: of Buffalo's offensive line. It could be any combination of

2538
02:13:03,520 --> 02:13:06,320
Speaker 1: three to four guys, so we'll just have to see

2539
02:13:06,320 --> 02:13:08,560
Speaker 1: where it goes, and we probably won't know for sure

2540
02:13:09,040 --> 02:13:11,400
Speaker 1: until they line up on Sunday, and even that could

2541
02:13:11,400 --> 02:13:14,800
Speaker 1: be subject to change if there's a platoon situation or

2542
02:13:14,840 --> 02:13:17,120
Speaker 1: if they want to try a different combination the next week.

2543
02:13:17,160 --> 02:13:19,200
Speaker 1: I think for sure they're going to platoon a little bit.

2544
02:13:19,240 --> 02:13:21,960
Speaker 1: I think there's too many moving parts, too many new guys.

2545
02:13:22,800 --> 02:13:26,640
Speaker 1: Feliciano being out and being out for a month probably

2546
02:13:26,680 --> 02:13:29,240
Speaker 1: put them in a position where, let's find out, and

2547
02:13:29,480 --> 02:13:31,680
Speaker 1: given the fact they don't have any preseason games, they're

2548
02:13:31,680 --> 02:13:33,480
Speaker 1: probably going to do their best to play as well

2549
02:13:33,520 --> 02:13:36,240
Speaker 1: as they can while finding a best combination as they

2550
02:13:36,320 --> 02:13:38,440
Speaker 1: go during this first month. And I'm sure they're not

2551
02:13:38,440 --> 02:13:40,680
Speaker 1: the only NFL team that's thinking about doing that. That'll

2552
02:13:40,720 --> 02:13:43,640
Speaker 1: do it. For a Wednesday edition of One Bills Live tomorrow,

2553
02:13:43,640 --> 02:13:46,760
Speaker 1: we will have sound from Josh Allen, probably Jordan Poyer,

2554
02:13:46,800 --> 02:13:49,080
Speaker 1: who is addressing the media as we speak, so we'll

2555
02:13:49,080 --> 02:13:52,280
Speaker 1: catch you up on them, including all the updates from

2556
02:13:52,280 --> 02:13:55,360
Speaker 1: practice for Steve Tasker. I'm Chris Brown. Thanks for watching.

2557
02:13:55,360 --> 02:13:57,760
Speaker 1: We'll catch you tomorrow here and One Bill's Live presented

2558
02:13:57,760 --> 02:14:03,480
Speaker 1: by Collid to Health on Buffalo Bills Radio. We did
