Speaker 1: This is One Bill's Live, presented by Calledlida Health.

2
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: Welcome into your Tuesday edition of One Bill's Live. Matti

3
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: Glave alongside Steve Tasker. Chris Brown is out for the day.

4
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 2: He'll be back tomorrow. We were both out yesterday. There

5
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: was no practice yesterday. The players had an off day.

6
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 2: Today was their first practice back from I wasn't gonna

7
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: say it's their first practice back, but actually they practiced

8
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: here on Sunday. I was going to say it was

9
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: their first practice back at Orchard Park at One Bill's

10
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: Drive here, but it was actually their second practice back

11
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: because they had a light kind of jogg through practice

12
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 2: on Sunday afternoon. Yesterday was an off day. Today they

13
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: were back on and man ottle Man. When I say

14
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 2: they were back on, they the boys were buzzing. It

15
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: was intense out there. These guys are sick of seeing

16
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 2: each other, they're sick of playing against each other, and

17
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 2: it was getting heated out there.

18
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 3: There was a yes, big scuffle, probably the biggest fighting camp.

19
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 3: Spencer Brown, Tyrrel Dotson got into it, and plus forty

20
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 3: of their closest friends jumped in on that one too.

21
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 3: I mean everybody on the field was in this scuffle

22
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 3: finally ended up going down the ground swinging helmet the

23
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 3: whole thing. He didn't get much on it because there

24
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 3: were like too many guys crowded around, but they every

25
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 3: when he swung that hell, everybody was mad at him then,

26
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: because you know, you just don't do that. Goddam he was.

27
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 3: He stormed off Lineberry coach brought him back. You know.

28
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 3: Then that period finally ended. They started on another period

29
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 3: where it's you know, they're doing some other stuff and

30
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 3: they were getting vocal and like, you know, they were

31
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 3: it was kind of like down and distant stuff. Situational.

32
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 3: The whole practice is a little bit of situational football,

33
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 3: and they were bickering about what was you know, what

34
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: was allowed, what was going on and on. Then you know,

35
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 3: this guy does that. And then there was like one

36
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 3: little thing that looked one little minutia thing like an

37
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 3: off sides or something that happened and McDermott stopped everything

38
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 3: and brought him and it was weal because the music

39
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: stopped and everybody got and they came they came running

40
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 3: up and it was like it seemed like it was

41
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 3: a church. I mean, it was dead silence. So and

42
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 3: McDermott was giving him what for out in the field

43
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 3: and you can hear some of it, and he was like,

44
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 3: you know, just basically knock it off.

45
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: Sometimes you need a little reset. Sometimes you need to

46
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: come together, reset the practice, get back going in the

47
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 2: right direction, right head station and all of that. And

48
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: and we spoke to Josh Allen after practice. We'll hear

49
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: from him later in the show, but he was asked about,

50
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: you know, the intensity of practice. Some are way more

51
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: intense than others. Today happened to be an intense practice.

52
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: Maybe it was the fact that they were coming off

53
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: of an off day yesterday and we're bringing the heat

54
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: as we get closer and closer to cuts coming up

55
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: on August twenty ninth. But Josh basically said, hey, whatever

56
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: happens in between those lines, we know when we walk

57
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 2: out of those lines, we know when practice ends. We

58
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 2: are brothers, We love each other. This competition is good

59
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: for us. We appreciate the intensity because every guy is

60
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 2: fighting for their job. Every guy is fighting to be

61
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: the best player they can be on this roster, and

62
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: sometimes things get heated. Sometimes things get intense, especially this

63
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 2: was training camp practice number fourteen. We're over two weeks

64
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: into training camp here, and it's like waking up and

65
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: being with your sibling for the entire day. Sometimes it's

66
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: just like get off my back, mane.

67
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 3: And Also, I think there's a little something that happens

68
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 3: to the mindset when you moved from training camp back

69
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 3: to Orchard Park and you're in your kind of game day,

70
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 3: game week environment, particularly for the veterans. Steph was chirping today.

71
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 3: He got into a chirping match with Sara and Neil. Saran, Neil,

72
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 3: Tredavious White and Steph got into a chirping match or no, no,

73
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 3: it was Gabe Davis caught a tot nice catch on

74
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 3: to Davious and the offense went crazy to Davious wasn't

75
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 3: having it. He was that stuck away. He was bummed

76
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 3: because it was nice. Fire's great catch.

77
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, question, Jay Davis, I think that was one of

78
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 2: the best catches I've seen all camp. Josh Allen had

79
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: it on a rope to him in the corner of

80
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: the end zone. I mean Trey White was right on

81
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 2: him as well.

82
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a fifty to fifty football and Gabe

83
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 3: came down with it. But there's no question it was

84
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 3: a very serious practice. The players took it very seriously.

85
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 3: They were a higher level of intensity throughout the entire day.

86
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 3: They had a lot of drills. I don't know if

87
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 3: you noticed this, Maddie, that there were a lot of

88
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 3: competitive drills going on offense against defense. You know, they

89
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 3: were all thud They weren't taking anybody to the ground,

90
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 3: but they were competing. So they started, you know, then

91
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 3: the team they started chirping about who was winning and

92
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 3: who won each rep. And that was I think the

93
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 3: impetus for Sean bringing them up, you know and saying, hey,

94
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 3: you know, quiet, because they were they when you're competing,

95
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 3: these guys are competitors. They're when you go into the

96
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: locker room, they compete about everything. Who can make their

97
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 3: ball of tape into the furthest waste basket and you can.

98
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 3: They they have like all kinds of competitions, you know,

99
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 3: all of it. They compete at every moment of their day.

100
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 3: And so when they get out on the practice field,

101
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 3: they start they start taking the details a little too seriously,

102
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 3: like down in distance, he should have been spotted a

103
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 3: half a yard back, or that guy should have been

104
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 3: here and that guy and Sean just said, I shut up,

105
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 3: you know, basically, shut up, do your job, let's go.

106
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 4: Uh.

107
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 3: Because they were because the intensity I think they were.

108
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 3: You know, there's a little hostility out there that we

109
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 3: hadn't seen in a regular training camp over at Saint

110
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 3: John Fisher. And I don't know whether, and I know

111
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 3: that I can remember back we're talking about this. I

112
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 3: can remember back it feeling different when you got back

113
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 3: in the building after training camp.

114
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 2: This is a time point where you come back from

115
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: training camp, you've been at Saint John Fisher for two

116
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 2: and a half weeks, you're back in Orchard Park. It

117
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 2: signals that the season is coming closer and closer, and

118
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: it feels closer and at and at some point within

119
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 2: camp you gotta you gotta ramp it up. And this

120
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 2: might be the ramp up time for this team where

121
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 2: where you're dialed in on things, where you're you're focusing

122
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 2: in on your assignment and your job. Knowing that I

123
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 2: saw Adam Schefter tweet yesterday it was four weeks from

124
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 2: yesterday is Buffalo's Week one game against the Jets. It

125
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,799
Speaker 2: has come, It is coming soon, and we're gonna blink

126
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: and we're gonna be here for Week one of football

127
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: and oh, by the way, they've got a new running

128
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 2: back on their roster that the Bill's defense is going

129
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: to have to be ready for. Uh. In fact, the

130
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 2: AFC East has two new big running backs that this

131
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 2: team is going to have to be ready for. That's

132
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: gonna be our question of the day, our Twitter topic.

133
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: How do dalln Cook and Ezekiel Elliott signings change your

134
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 2: thoughts on the division? You guys can tweet at us

135
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: at Steve Tasker, Maddi glab or One Bills Live where

136
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: you can give us called eighth, three five fifty. We'll

137
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: be discussing that throughout the entire show. But before we

138
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 2: hop into that, I want to kind of go back

139
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: to the first preseason game. We haven't had a chance

140
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 2: to break it down yet on One Bill's Live since

141
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: we weren't a part of yesterday's show, and you know,

142
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 2: the Bills beat the Colts twenty three to nineteen. We

143
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: saw a little bit of Kyle Allen, a little bit

144
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: of Matt Barkley. I think the big storyline, of course,

145
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: come out of that game is Damar Hamlin playing in

146
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: his first game back since that cardiac arrest, that he

147
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: suffered on January second against the Cincinnati Bengals. He talked

148
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: about so many different milestones that he's passed. Being able

149
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: to come back onto the football field full pads for

150
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 2: the first time, your first practice back at high Mark Stadium,

151
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: your first preseason game back at high Mark Stadium, and

152
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: this was another big milestone for not just him, but

153
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 2: his family members, the entire team, the coaching staff. Sean

154
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 2: McDermott after the game was asked about it, and he said,

155
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: you know, I was I was talking to our athletic

156
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 2: training staff and I said, are you guys gonna Are

157
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: you guys going to pay close attention to him today?

158
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 2: You've got to have eyes on this guy today as

159
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 2: he suits up for his first game back, and and

160
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 2: Damar said, you know, it was great to be back

161
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: out there with the guys.

162
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 5: It was.

163
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 2: It was great to be in on a couple of plays.

164
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 2: He had that fourth and that big fourth and one

165
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: stop he said, where where the jitters kind of fall

166
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,119
Speaker 2: off after you have your first taste of live contact.

167
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: So that was probably the biggest storyline coming out of

168
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 2: that preseason game. But another big storyline I think is

169
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 2: looking at that backup quarterback spot for the Bills. Sean

170
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 2: McDermott was asked about it after the game and he said,

171
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 2: it's an open competition now. Kyle Allen was eight of

172
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 2: fifteen in the game against the Colts for one hundred

173
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: and twenty two passing yards through one interception, had a

174
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: fifty two point six passer rating, and Matt Barkley was

175
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: fourteen to fifteen for one hundred and sev seventy two

176
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 2: yards to two passing touchdowns and a one fifty four

177
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 2: passer rating. Matt Barkley also spoke to the media after

178
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: the game as well as Kyle Allen and Matt Barkley

179
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 2: was kind of asked about you know, you go out

180
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 2: there and you have a game. Kyle had some good throws,

181
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: but on other plays he struggled, what do you see

182
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: with this? And Matt Barkley said, you know, I've been

183
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 2: in this offense for years. Kyle is still learning this offense.

184
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 2: It wasn't pretty for me the first game that I

185
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 2: stepped in there in this new offense when I was

186
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: first about he.

187
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 3: Says that, but he hung forty one points on the

188
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 3: Jets off the street.

189
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 6: That's that's that's true. That's true.

190
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: But a first preseason game, you're your first your first

191
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 2: taste of a game with a new team and a

192
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 2: new offense. It might take a little bit of time.

193
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 2: But Sean mcderrant did say this is an open competition. Self,

194
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: what did you make of that?

195
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 3: Here's the way I say it, and I don't want

196
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 3: to oversimplify it, although that's it's kind of what you

197
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 3: have to do because we're not in the ins and

198
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 3: outs and nuts and bolts of and Josh was calling

199
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 3: plays for goodness sake, and right, I mean, I mean

200
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 3: it was this preseason game, and we all tend to

201
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 3: over exaggerate every bit of information. But I'll say this

202
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 3: one one And if I can generalize about the two quarterbacks,

203
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 3: Kyle Allen, you watch him out in practice. He plays well,

204
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 3: he's he looks good, he's got, he looks good in practice,

205
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 3: and and Matt Barkley looks he doesn't look like that

206
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 3: in priy. Kyle all looks better. But we've seen Matt

207
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 3: Barkley in games on in preseason games and in regular

208
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 3: season games, and Barkley shows up big when the lights

209
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 3: are on. He's a little bit like Josh in that

210
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 3: when Josh we always tend to think in those primetime games,

211
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 3: Josh turns it up a notch. Matt Barkley is that

212
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 3: guy to me. He comes in off the street four

213
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 3: years ago or five years ago and hangs forty one

214
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 3: points on the Jets. He gets in a Week seventeen

215
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 3: of twenty nineteen, I believe, or maybe twenty twenty where

216
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 3: the Jets can win, and I mean against the Dolphins,

217
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 3: the Dolphins can win and get in and he beats

218
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 3: him by himself in the second half. Josh plays the

219
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 3: first half of Week eighteen, and Barkley takes over for him,

220
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 3: and he beats him. When the lights come on, Barkley

221
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 3: plays his best. He doesn't look like it in practice.

222
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 3: He's a good player in practice, but he's not like

223
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 3: he is in these games. So and Kyle Allen seems

224
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 3: to be kind of the reverse of that. He's really solid,

225
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 3: makes the right moves right down the hat, right down

226
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 3: the you know, the check marks all the way through practice,

227
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 3: makes the throes he should make, makes good reads, but

228
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 3: in the he doesn't rise up during the game, which

229
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 3: is what Barkley seems to do. Now, there's no question

230
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 3: you and I both know Kyle Allen's got a bigger arm,

231
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 3: more physically gifted than Barkley, a little bit better athletically,

232
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 3: but you know, they're playing quarterback, so most of their

233
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 3: job is between their ears and when the lights come on,

234
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 3: Barkley seems to be just a little better than Kyle Allen,

235
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 3: even though physically and even in practice it seems the

236
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 3: other way. So I don't know how this is gonna

237
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 3: shake out. I know Matt and I said this on

238
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 3: the broadcast when we did the game. The two quarterbacks,

239
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 3: Kyle Allen and Matt Barkley. I hate to say, I

240
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 3: don't care if they can play quarterback. What I care

241
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 3: about is can they help Josh play better at quarterback.

242
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 3: That's their job as the quarterback room, focus on getting

243
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 3: the number one guy ready to play. You don't want

244
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 3: your backup quarterback, whoever it may be, Barkley or Allen,

245
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 3: Kyle Allen to take half the reps in practice, you know,

246
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 3: or whatever, because you don't want to get two guys.

247
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 3: You don't want to get Josh Allen and Kyle Allen

248
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 3: ready to play. You got to get Josh one hundred

249
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 3: percent ready to play, and Kyle's got to get himself ready.

250
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 3: So Matt Barkley, Kyle Allen, you know, and Ken Dorsey

251
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 3: and everybody in that room is focused on getting Josh

252
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 3: ready to play. And when you start worrying about wow,

253
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 3: which backup quarterback listening, there ain't nobody out there who's

254
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 3: going to replace Josh if he goes down.

255
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 2: Impossible.

256
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 3: So just get a guy who's going to help that

257
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 3: quarterback room, give yourself some some credibility at the position

258
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 3: when he do have to make a change if you do.

259
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 3: But it's a really interesting race because, like you said,

260
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 3: Sean was asked about it because people were talking about it. Wow,

261
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 3: Barkley looks really good. Is this a competition and Shawn

262
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 3: unequivocally said yes, and today's we'll see there's no difference

263
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 3: because they're both gonna We're gonna see him for another

264
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 3: couple of weeks.

265
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 2: Yep. We've got another preseason game coming up on Saturday.

266
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 2: That's gonna be an away game for the Bills. They

267
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 2: are heading to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers six thirty

268
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 2: kick Eastern time. So we'll see as that competition continues

269
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 2: to go on, there's other competitions going on for the Bills,

270
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 2: you know, middle linebacker, cornerback, right guard. So what else

271
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 2: did you make of the preseason game? Is there anything

272
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 2: else that stood out to you from that game? I

273
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 2: know sometimes preseason games it's a preseason game. How much

274
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 2: can you make of an actual preseason game? But was

275
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 2: there anything else that you wanted to note on that

276
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 2: game against the Colts?

277
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 3: Just I thought Sean McDermott and that I said this

278
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 3: as well in the open. I don't think they're going

279
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 3: to struggle as a staff. I don't think Sean McDermott

280
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 3: and his coaches are going to struggle with him being

281
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 3: defensive cord down. I don't. That doesn't that's not my

282
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 3: That's not my concern or my question. My question is

283
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 3: how is this defense going to look different with him

284
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 3: doing it? And I think it will. I think it's

285
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 3: going to look very different. I think there's a chance

286
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 3: this defense, while it may be a little bit more

287
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 3: of a roller coaster than it was under Leslie Frasier,

288
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 3: I think they're the high end is going to be.

289
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be spectacular for we never

290
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 3: really saw that with Leslie Fraser's group, and I think

291
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 3: we're going to get that because they're gonna take some chances,

292
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 3: a few more chances, and they they may get hit

293
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 3: on the back end once in a while. But I

294
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 3: think this is a defense that has a chance to

295
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 3: be special at any given moment during a season instead

296
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 3: of just being that that steady, tough to move the

297
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 3: ball against, and when the offense makes a mistake, they

298
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 3: pay the price and that's it. I think this is

299
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 3: a defense that may force more mistakes than they have

300
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 3: in the past.

301
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 2: The defensive line had some nice pressure on the O

302
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 2: line and on the quarterbacks that were in for the Colts.

303
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 2: You know, you saw Offe Richardson, Ellen Gerra and Minshew,

304
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 2: but I thought they did a good job of kind

305
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: of pushing the pocket there and couple got home for sacks.

306
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 2: And then Dane Jackson had that interception right away. And

307
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 2: Sean mcderm was asked about it really early when we

308
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 2: found out, you know, he's going to be calling plays

309
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: this season, and he said, every defensive coordinator is different,

310
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 2: you know, so every DC has their own spice to

311
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 2: the way they call the game, to the way that

312
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 2: they operate, to what they like on the field, to

313
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 2: where they pick their spots and how they blitz and

314
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 2: and how exotic these blitzes can get. And I think

315
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 2: we saw a taste of that against the Colts. It's

316
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 2: gonna be a more vanilla. Look, we're not seeing everything

317
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 2: right now. You're not gonna reveal everything in preseason football.

318
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 2: But you talk about time on task for everybody and

319
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 2: getting these reps, and I love that that coach mcdermot's

320
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 2: getting these reps ahead of that Week one game against

321
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: the Jets and kind of figuring out is it's not

322
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 2: just Okay, Sean is down here calling plays. It it's

323
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 2: who is helping Sean while he is calling plays. You know,

324
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 2: there's so many things that go on within a game,

325
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: and there's other people that are picking up his duties

326
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 2: that he would have as a head coach during game.

327
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: So to being able to figure all of that out,

328
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 2: I think and seeing, Okay, this is gonna work. This

329
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 2: is nice and sound. We have everything set. Everybody knows

330
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 2: where they need to be, or everybody knows what their

331
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 2: job is, you know, when Sean is busy calling the

332
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 2: place for the defense. So I liked what I saw

333
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 2: of this first game, and I think a lot of

334
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 2: the others plays players liked what they saw as well.

335
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 2: And thought it was a smooth operation. Eric Washington, the

336
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 2: defensive line coach of the Bills, talked to media this morning.

337
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 2: Eric and Sean go back to their Carolina Panthers days,

338
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 2: and Eric was asked of what did you think of

339
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 2: Sean and in his first taste of live action out

340
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 2: there for a preseason game, and he said, it was

341
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 2: like we were back in Carolina, And I don't think

342
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 2: he had to knock any rust off. And I think

343
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 2: I think everybody can agree with that. It didn't seem

344
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 2: like they were struggling at all or trying to struggle

345
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 2: to get things together. And a lot of it is

346
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 2: also just getting eleven guys on the field. That's a

347
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 2: lot when you have a roster as big as they

348
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 2: have right now, making sure they're getting looks from all

349
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 2: the players they need to get looks from too.

350
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. And there was a couple of guys

351
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 3: on defense who young guys who well, I say young

352
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 3: Boogie Basham three tackled, had tackle for loss, a sack,

353
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 3: and a quarterback hit. And Dorian Williams played well seven tackles.

354
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 3: He had a team high seven tackles for the Bills.

355
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 3: It's interesting to see how who of the new faces

356
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 3: and different faces under a new defensive coordinator and a

357
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 3: new year, new season are going to come in and

358
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 3: spread their wings a little bit. Dorian Williams played very

359
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 3: really well in there has been had been a little

360
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 3: off the radar during training camp because of the middle

361
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 3: linebacker thing, and he had moved over and so yeah,

362
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 3: it was nice to see Dorian Williams have a team

363
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 3: high seven tackles. And it was also nice to see

364
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 3: Boogie Basham play as well as he did, I think.

365
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 3: And it's it's games like that and and stretches like

366
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 3: we've seen that get guys more and better reps higher

367
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 3: on the depth chart, like you know, taking reps with

368
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 3: the ones, taking reps with you know, more reps with

369
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 3: the ones, getting more time in the preseason game with

370
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 3: the ones, and either getting more time in the preseason

371
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 3: or getting protected and pulled out of the game so

372
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 3: they don't get even taken rep because the coaching says it, no,

373
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 3: I know what, I know a Dane exactly. That's right,

374
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 3: You're gonna sit down. All that stuff is It's really

375
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 3: interesting to see how because for the first time when

376
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 3: you get into these games where it's a physical risk

377
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 3: to be in them. You see what the coaches really

378
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 3: really think of guys and which guys they really hold

379
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 3: in highest team because they still want to play.

380
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, Eric Washington said, Boogie Bashm came to play. He said,

381
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 2: Dorian Williams, you could see his physicality. He's the type

382
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 2: of player where you can finally see what he can

383
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 2: offer when you put the pads on and when you

384
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 2: actually start hitting guys. I also thought it was it

385
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 2: was notable that Eric Washington said, I was really proud

386
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 2: of the way that we tackled. I think that sometimes

387
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 2: goes by the wayside in the first few preseason games

388
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 2: because sometimes it can be sloppy. Nowadays, you are you

389
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 2: are fully thud in training camp practices. There are very

390
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 2: few times when you go live that means no tackling.

391
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 2: And so these guys and I think Steve, you and

392
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 2: I have talked about it this offseason. It's the first

393
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 2: time they've been actually tackling guys since their last game

394
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 2: in January.

395
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. They there might have been stretches in

396
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 3: training camp where they kind of did it and guys

397
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 3: actually accidentally went down or whatever. But man o, man,

398
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 3: you and I get it too. Old guys like me.

399
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 3: You're sitting we're sitting up in the stands or I'm

400
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 3: sitting in the booth going rally. They they can't guys

401
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 3: can't tackle anymore, and I'm screaming at clouds. You know. Well,

402
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 3: the simple truth is they don't tackle as well because

403
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 3: they can't practice it. It used to be you every

404
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 3: practice was a tackling drill because it was live. I mean,

405
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 3: you were taking guys down all the time, and guys

406
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 3: just did it and did it. Now because of the

407
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,959
Speaker 3: wear and tear, and because of the injury risk, and

408
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 3: because these guys are now they're not no longer rented mules.

409
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 3: They're prize cows, so they don't they don't put them

410
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 3: to the chances. Yeah, yeah, you're not mistreating your prized cow.

411
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 3: You will a rented mule, and none of these guys

412
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 3: are that. So you know, with the money and the

413
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 3: value that these guys have to the organization, they don't

414
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 3: put them at risk. They're not going to have them

415
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 3: dragged down in practice. They're not gonna have them rolled

416
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 3: up on in practice. You know, all all the million

417
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 3: things you can get hurt at, and so as a result,

418
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 3: guys are a little bad at tackling. They're not and

419
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 3: plus they can't tackle the same way they used to tackle.

420
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 3: You can't lead with your head. Me, I may as

421
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 3: well ben a hammer because you hit me. I hit

422
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 3: with my head all the time. You know, is the

423
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 3: way we did it. You go back and look at

424
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 3: my football cards. My shoulder pads are the size of

425
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 3: a refrigerator right now. These guys you can't even tell

426
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 3: if they're in shells or in their pads. So yes,

427
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 3: it is difficult to practice tackling. It's difficult to have

428
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,719
Speaker 3: guys do it well. But today and when the pads

429
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 3: go on really finally, I think you said to Maddie,

430
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 3: they can't hide if they don't like it. It shows

431
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 3: even in today's NFL if you have I was telling

432
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 3: some other guys on the sidelines today, if your sense

433
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 3: of self preservation is over developed, you really can't play ball.

434
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 3: You can't play football. You have to be willing to

435
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 3: put yourself at risk, and some guys shy away from it,

436
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 3: even at this level.

437
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 2: And I think it's good for you know, putting yourself

438
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 2: at risk. It's good for guys like who have been

439
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 2: injured it's good for DeMar Hamlin to experience tackling. It's

440
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,959
Speaker 2: good again. It's good for Micah Hyde to get in

441
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 2: there after his injury. It was his first preseason game back.

442
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 2: It's good for a guy like Tredevius White who is

443
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 2: still making his way back to the field. And speaking

444
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 2: of players who are making their way back to the field,

445
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 2: the Bill's activated linebacker Tyler Metikevitch from the active pup list,

446
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 2: So it's good to have him back in the lineup.

447
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 2: He's a big special teamer and I know the team

448
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 2: is happy to have him back and healthy. Also a

449
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 2: rotational linebacker as well, kind of filling in some of

450
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 2: that depth. There reports out of practice Brandon Schell was

451
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 2: not at practice today and reports are saying that he

452
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 2: intends to retire. He's thirty one years old. The Bills

453
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 2: just signed him this offseason. He's been a good depth

454
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 2: right tackle piece for this team. So you wonder where

455
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 2: this team goes if that is goal. If that is

456
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 2: the case, this has not happened yet. These are just

457
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 2: reports out there coming out after practice today when he

458
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 2: wasn't a part of anything. Reggie Gilliam was back at

459
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 2: practice today. Let's see who else was out there. Damien

460
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 2: Harris still not practicing, cam Lewis was still not practicing,

461
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 2: Torell Bernard also not practicing yet. Sean mcdermoy gave updates

462
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 2: on these guys and he said that Damian Harris is

463
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 2: trending in the right direction, so that's good to hear.

464
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 2: So getting some of these guys back day to day,

465
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 2: which is what you want to happen as you are

466
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 2: back in Orchard Park for training camp and you're getting

467
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 2: closer to that week one game.

468
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this it's interesting because you really have to

469
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 3: do it every day. I mean, we go out and

470
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 3: take attendance at practice because it's so fluid when they

471
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 3: get in here and they're they're on their feet all day.

472
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 3: They're practicing in the morning, then they do something in

473
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 3: the afternoon. Guys will work out in the afternoon or

474
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 3: lift or whatever, and somebody gets tweaked in the weight

475
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 3: room all of a sudden, they don't show up at practice,

476
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 3: and everybody scrambling around to find out how big a

477
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 3: story it is and how serious. Yeah, exactly. And during

478
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 3: the regular season, Shawn just usually goes down the list.

479
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 3: But in training camp, nobody's got time for that.

480
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 2: Too many people.

481
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, nobody's got time to go down that list of

482
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 3: like yeah, this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy this,

483
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 3: there's like twelve guys who've got some form of limitation,

484
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 3: if not out and out being out. So they don't

485
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 3: do that in preseason. So in the regular season, the

486
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 3: guy we always have a good handle on who's in

487
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 3: and who's happening, and this is a little bit more fluid.

488
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 2: Tommy Doyle and DJ Dale also had injuries during the

489
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 2: preseason game. Sean McDermott called more contusions more than anything.

490
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 2: Tommy and DJA were also back at practice today, so

491
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 2: I think that does it for the injury updates. Hopefully

492
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 2: that list gets a little bit smaller as we continue

493
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 2: on through training camp. We've got Eric Wood. He's going

494
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 2: to come on the show today at two o'clock help

495
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 2: us kind of look back at that Colts and Bill's

496
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 2: preseason game, look ahead to the next preseason game, and

497
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 2: just talk about where this team is at right now.

498
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 2: He knows what it's like being in the dog days

499
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 2: of training camp and trying to you know, stand out,

500
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 2: make a roster all of that, so we'll talk to

501
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 2: him about that and we've got our topic. How do

502
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 2: the signings of dal Cook and Zeke really change your

503
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 2: thoughts on the division if any are you Are you

504
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 2: feeling any type of way about this or are you

505
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 2: just like you know what it is?

506
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 6: What it is.

507
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 2: I don't think it impacts us that much, you could

508
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 2: say for one team, maybe more than the other team.

509
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 2: And we've actually got a caller hanging on the line.

510
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 2: It's Tom. He's been hanging online for a few minutes

511
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,719
Speaker 2: from the West Side and he's got some comments on

512
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 2: the subject. So Tom will bring you on right now. Tom.

513
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 2: How are you doing today?

514
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 5: Hey, I get them boys. I'm doing okay. I was

515
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 5: listening to to your question today and I thought about

516
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 5: it for a minute. And Zeke doesn't really scare me

517
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 5: because one he's going to New England and all they're

518
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 5: going to do is run the ball. Matt Jones can't

519
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,959
Speaker 5: throw it, he doesn't have receivers. Yeah, they beat us

520
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 5: last year, but that was the win game. Now the Jets,

521
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 5: they scare me a little bit. But Dalvin Cook now

522
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 5: realize Zeke and Delvin both have a lot of miles

523
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 5: on because they've run the ball out of them and

524
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 5: both those teams previous to their being released, so they

525
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 5: got a lot of miles on and they're both injury.

526
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 5: They're coming off injuries last year, so the running backs

527
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 5: aren't really And and you got who's the other guy

528
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 5: for the Jets. Yeah, Breis Hall. He's coming off an injury. Now,

529
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 5: I hear the Jets. They got a few good backups,

530
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 5: but I mean they're like rookies, so they're not really

531
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 5: scaring me. So I mean in the passing game. Oh

532
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,719
Speaker 5: and I want to add, the Jets don't have an

533
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 5: offensive line to protect Aaron Rodgers, and I wonder if

534
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 5: Rogers thought about that before he signed with them.

535
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 3: All right, thanks, yeah, yeah, a lot in there. Certainly.

536
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure Aaron Rodgers can carefully considered what he

537
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 3: was doing, and they had long conversations about the offensive

538
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 3: line and on the weapons especially around him. No question,

539
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 3: I get it about Zeke. I think Zeke's going to

540
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 3: a place where, uh, you know that stuff I said

541
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 3: about being a rented view and I think that's what

542
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 3: Zeke really is. On a one year deal and Dalvin's

543
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 3: on a one year deal too, deal too, So they

544
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 3: have the Jets and the Patriots have no should have

545
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,360
Speaker 3: no qualms about handing those guys the ball a lot,

546
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 3: a lot, because they don't have any future with those teams,

547
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 3: or at least not in writing.

548
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dalvin and Zeke both were up to eight point

549
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 2: six million dollars. Were you surprised to see that number?

550
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 2: I know it's up to So when you hear those words,

551
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 2: it's an incentives based salary.

552
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 3: I bet they're getting at least six And you know,

553
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 3: for those of us sitting at home, Yeah, that's it's

554
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 3: almost three hundred grand a game.

555
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 2: Which how much? Yeah, with how much we've talked about

556
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 2: running backs this off season and running backs not being

557
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 2: happy with what they're being paid or thinking that they're

558
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 2: worth more than the NFL is saying they're worth. And

559
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 2: the Zeke is Zeke deal is worth up to six million,

560
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 2: Delon Cook deal is worth up to eight point six

561
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 2: million dollars? Do you think that's fair pricing? Do you

562
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 2: think it's it's crazy? After we've we've spent some shows

563
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 2: talking about, well, running backs are deserve this now in

564
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 2: the NFL, the ten question what scheme you're in?

565
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 3: I think that's a I think that's kind of the

566
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 3: going rate for a quality NFL. It's in fact, it

567
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 3: may be a slightly low. If Dalvin gets the eight,

568
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 3: that's a good deal on a one year deal for

569
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 3: a proven player at other positions. Uh. Leonard Floyd got

570
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 3: just around that for a one year deal with Buffalo.

571
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 3: I think that's what you're looking at in one year deals.

572
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 3: It's it's excellent money for the rest of us, uh,

573
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 3: and it gives them a chance to, you know, have

574
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 3: some life changing money on a one year deal. And

575
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 3: what the club gets out of it, to me is

576
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,239
Speaker 3: that they're gonna be guys that are gonna give him

577
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 3: a good effort because he wants to sign another one,

578
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 3: right So there's you know, he doesn't have to sit

579
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 3: back and then wait for a contract.

580
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 4: Here.

581
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 3: Everything's a contract here for these carriers, and I think

582
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 3: that there's something in that for the club as well.

583
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 3: So I do think these prices are I think it's

584
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 3: the going rate. Maybe Zeke's a little less, which is

585
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 3: New England's way of doing business, But maybe New England

586
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 3: made him some assurances and said, hey, we'll we'll give

587
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 3: you a chance. We're gonna we're gonna hand you the rock,

588
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 3: so you're gonna have a chance to have a really

589
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 3: good year this year, and you can hit it out

590
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 3: of the park next year. Although next year he's gonna

591
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 3: be a year older and have that many more carries

592
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 3: on his on his odometers, So I don't know if

593
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 3: it makes much sense as a running back.

594
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 2: We'll share our thoughts on that later in the show.

595
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 2: Coming up at too, we've got Eric Wood joining us,

596
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 2: and next we're gonna hear from Josh Allen. He talked

597
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 2: to the media after practice and had some things to say,

598
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 2: So stick with us here on one. Bills will be

599
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 2: right back. This is when Bill's Live, presented by Collide

600
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 2: Health on Buffalo Bill's Radio. All Right, we talked about

601
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 2: the intensity of today's practice. It was training camp practice

602
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 2: number fourteen, so this team has been at it for

603
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 2: a while now, and Josh Allen spoke about that intensity

604
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 2: of today's practice. So let's go right over to Josh

605
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 2: Allen to hear what he had to say after practice today.

606
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 7: See, we're just working to compete and get better, and

607
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 7: you know, we want to be great. Sometimes you go

608
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 7: through practice like that where both sides want it really badly,

609
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 7: both guys, both sides are storming to the ball, just

610
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 7: trying to make some plays and you need those practices

611
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 7: that makes your team better. Was that one a little

612
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 7: bit more, I guess intense than usual. I mean, I

613
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 7: think all of our practice have their moments. I think

614
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 7: this one maybe the most constant. You know, and and

615
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 7: again it's, uh, it's expected, it's it's it's deserved.

616
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 4: Exactly.

617
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 8: Hey, could it ever times when you maybe see stuff

618
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 8: back on tape after something like that that you feel

619
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 8: like you've got to go say something to one of

620
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 8: the guys or is it ever get to that point?

621
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 8: I mean, because in the heat of the moment, guys

622
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 8: say things. Just do you ever feel like you got

623
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 8: to say something back to him later?

624
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 7: I think it's it's well understood on this team that

625
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 7: everything that happens in between the white line stage within

626
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 7: the white lines, we love each other as a team

627
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 7: that gets along extremely well. Our locker rooms fantastic. We

628
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 7: spend a lot of time outside the facility together. At

629
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 7: the same time, we're grown men and we want to win.

630
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 7: You know, we don't want to give the defense anything.

631
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 7: The defense doesn't want to give us anything. So I'd

632
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 7: be worried if it was the opposite.

633
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 5: To be honest, it seemed at one point like you're also.

634
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 7: Wait, actually, I don't know he's been asked.

635
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 5: Never mind.

636
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 7: Every time I walk past him in the locker room,

637
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 7: he's got his playbook open, he's writing stuff down. He's

638
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 7: trying to learn our offense as well as he can.

639
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 7: He's been making some plays. I think he played extremely

640
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 7: well in the preseason game. And you know, he's he's

641
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 7: he's got good body language. He's been easy to throw to,

642
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 7: and uh, I know that he's he's impressed a lot

643
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 7: of people guys on the team, you know, they they

644
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 7: love having around. Doesn't really say much. He just goes

645
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 7: out there and he wants to get better. So I

646
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 7: know he's had a few stops around the league, and

647
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 7: you know, he's he's he's a few years into this league,

648
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 7: so he knows the business side of it by now.

649
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 7: But he's just coming here and he's been a professional

650
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 7: about how he's handled things, and it's been it's been

651
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 7: really fun to fun.

652
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 9: To watch, Like get a chance to call a couple

653
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 9: of plays on Saturday, told you that it was fun,

654
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 9: you know, and just to go out there and call

655
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 9: some some plays for Bark And I don't know if

656
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 9: that continues or not, but it was it was fun.

657
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 7: It felt like you were playing playing Madden out there

658
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 7: was it was a it was a lot of fun.

659
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 8: Those plays to see how they won.

660
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah.

661
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 7: When a game on the quarterback room, I parked up

662
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 7: a little bit and the bark This is the reason

663
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 7: why I called this play, right, I saw the so

664
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 7: I got my my coaches hat on at that point.

665
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 7: During the meeting. As soon as those plays are down,

666
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:33,439
Speaker 7: was like, a these are all dorses plays. It's fine.

667
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 5: So it's funny.

668
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 7: I mean, I think I think Barkley was six for

669
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 7: six during those plays, but in fairness, he was at

670
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 7: seven of eight or eight of six or whatever it

671
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:50,720
Speaker 7: was seven or eight or eight or nine with Dorsey

672
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 7: calling the place too, So you could have called a

673
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 7: bunch of stuff for Barkley that game. He was he

674
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,760
Speaker 7: was feeling it. One said, one of the biggest adjustments

675
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 7: is just learning a new offense. What are some of

676
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 7: the ways you've helped him kind of adapt and adjust? Yeah,

677
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 7: I mean, just if he's got questions, just trying to

678
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 7: have that open communication, the open line of communication. He

679
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 7: does such a good job. He's a he's a smart,

680
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 7: smart player. Obviously, he's been around the league for the

681
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 7: last few years, one of my my best buddies, so

682
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 7: we can talk about literally anything. So to have him

683
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 7: in the room and learning things and seeing things, and

684
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 7: obviously me and Bark we've known the system for for

685
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 7: a lot a lot longer time. There is an adjustment

686
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 7: period with this this system. There's a lot of stuff

687
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 7: that goes in, but once you get it, it's it's

688
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 7: a fun offense to play in. And he's he's starting

689
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 7: to get to that point where it's coming kind of

690
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 7: comes second nature to him, which is fun to see

691
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 7: when he'sut there in the practice field. In years past,

692
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 7: when you've gotten snaps in preseason games, what are you

693
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 7: trying to accomplish with those snaps that you're getting making

694
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 7: sure that I'm seeing the defense, you know, pre snap

695
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 7: post snap reads. Alously, you want to go out there

696
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 7: and you want to play well, you know, because I

697
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 7: think they give you gives confidence to to every everyone

698
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 7: around you. At the same time, it's it's pre season,

699
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 7: you know, you you hope there's no mistakes, but you'd

700
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 7: rather have him now than during the season. So you

701
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 7: can kind of go back and talk about them and

702
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 7: correct them. So I'm not sure what the plan is

703
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 7: the next week or next two weeks, but I'm I'm

704
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 7: ready to go at any point.

705
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 8: Today after he's just a little bit of time.

706
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 5: What was that like?

707
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 7: It was great and throwing to the tight ends, got

708
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 7: an extra guy guy back there, and you know, he's

709
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 7: kind of our full back, he's our second or third

710
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 7: tight end. Sometimes he's our running back. You know, he's

711
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 7: a big special teams guy, just a Swiss army knife.

712
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 7: So it's good to try to get him back into

713
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 7: the flow of things and just kind of plugging him

714
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 7: in and out again. A guy that's worked so hard. Uh,

715
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 7: he deserves everything that he's gotten in his career so far.

716
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 7: And you know, he doesn't doesn't talk, he just goes

717
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 7: to work. And you know, it's inspiring the guys.

718
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 8: It sicks for you.

719
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 2: You and Sean obviously closed him now as a defensive coordinator.

720
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 9: It's a little bit of John a little chirping out there,

721
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 9: just kind of how much fun is that and and

722
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 9: kind of ramps up the intensity.

723
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 7: It's a lot of fun. It's a lot of fun.

724
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 7: I think again that we're we're competitive guys, you know,

725
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 7: by nature this is this is our job, this is

726
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 7: what we do. It's who we are to go out

727
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 7: there and put our best foot forward each and every day.

728
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 7: And you know, it's it's it makes practice so much

729
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 7: more fun, competitive, and I think it gives us an edge,

730
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 7: and I think that's something that again we need on

731
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 7: this team. And these practices they tell you a lot

732
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 7: about certain guys and and how your team is going

733
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 7: to react to certain things. And uh, you know, it's

734
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 7: it's fun to be a part of that competitive ed.

735
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 2: I know you never want to throw an interception, but

736
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 2: is there someone that is most annoying.

737
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:32,760
Speaker 4: When that happens?

738
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 7: Mika, just because I love them so much. That's that's

739
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 7: my guy. We we talk, We talk a lot, talk

740
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 7: a lot of trash too, so you might could go

741
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 7: at it, but it's it's a lot of fun.

742
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 2: See that throw. You head over to the game to Gabe.

743
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,800
Speaker 2: That catch that Gabe made overall strain White for a

744
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 2: touchdowns a.

745
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 7: Good, good, good catch, you know, went over the top,

746
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 7: tray was in a good position. Gabe was able to

747
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 7: come down with it, and I think it was fourth day.

748
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 7: So we need it as an offense. We needed it

749
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 7: as an offense and we got it. You know, we

750
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 7: can rely on Gabe to make those types of catches.

751
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 1: You the best trash talker, and your name has come

752
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: up quite a lot.

753
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 2: Do you have a response to that?

754
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: Would you call out Bill's.

755
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 5: On the healthware?

756
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 7: I agree to disagree with that. I don't talk trash Steph.

757
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,240
Speaker 7: Steph's a good trash talker. I like the he talks trash.

758
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 7: I think Jordan Phillips can talk some good trash too.

759
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 7: Those are my two guys. Yeah, Gabe's constant, you know.

760
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 7: I think maybe that's why it picked him, just because

761
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 7: it's it's just kind of him. You know, he doesn't

762
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,439
Speaker 7: really have a switch. It's just always on trash talk.

763
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 8: To you, is it quality or quantity?

764
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 7: It's the quantity of the quality.

765
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 1: You don't agree with that?

766
00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 8: Do you think what you say is not?

767
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 7: Is that the way you look at him? I'm just messing.

768
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 7: I just yeah, we're just having fun.

769
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 2: Oh, Josh Allen messing with the media after a practice.

770
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 2: Tell me I haven't heard that before. I definitely have.

771
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 2: He likes to give those responses where you kind of

772
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 2: scratch your head and you're like, Josh, are you joking

773
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 2: or you being serious right now. He was asked of

774
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 2: being a trash talker and he said, I agree to disagree.

775
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 2: He did say that Steph Diggs and Jordan Phillips are

776
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 2: good trash talkers as well as Gabe Davis said, Gabe

777
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 2: Davis never stops trash talking. Trash talker Steve Tasker, who

778
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 2: was the best a part of the years that you

779
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 2: were a part of the bills.

780
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 3: We I don't know if we.

781
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,800
Speaker 2: Had do you remember do you remember any any incredible

782
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 2: trash talkers that you had, really.

783
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 3: Deeric Moles was really good even as a young guy.

784
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 3: He was pretty good because he was really smart and

785
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 3: he had some grits. So yeah, probably Eric Moles was

786
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 3: really good. Thurman was good because he was He always

787
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 3: had this huge chip on his shoulder too, so you know,

788
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 3: you get you get guys that have a feisty competitive

789
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 3: nature about him and they just can't be quiet. You know,

790
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 3: they got to talk about it. So Thuram was like

791
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 3: that and Eric Moles was like that. The offensive guys defense,

792
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,919
Speaker 3: I don't know if there's every corner you ever.

793
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 2: Talked to everybody on part of the job description.

794
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 3: So Mark Kels was probably the least talkative guy out

795
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 3: there in that respect. But yeah, every NFL cornerback and

796
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 3: most receivers.

797
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 2: Steph has some good one liners. I will I will

798
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 2: say that he's he's creative with how he he uses

799
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 2: his words. Before we go to break, let's go quick

800
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 2: around the NFL is presented by Kaleida Health, and we

801
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 2: covered the deals with Dalvin Cook and Zeke Elliott already.

802
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 2: But some other running back news here out of the

803
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 2: AFC East So Jets running back Breist Hall he had

804
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 2: that ACL injury. He's coming off the pup list. He

805
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 2: was limited at today's practice, and Robert Salad, the head

806
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 2: coach of the Jets, that they expect him to be

807
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 2: ready for Week one. So the Bills don't have to

808
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 2: just prepare for Dalvin Cook, they'll also have to prepare

809
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,760
Speaker 2: for bris Hall. I think that's big for the Jets

810
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 2: to be able to get him back at this time

811
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks, you know, a month before the

812
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 2: Bills are going to face the Jets in Week one.

813
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 2: Some other news out of Jets practice, maybe not crazy

814
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 2: news right now. There was a report out of practice

815
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 2: today that Aaron Rodgers was kind of limping around on

816
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 2: the field. We remember that he injured that. I think

817
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 2: it was the right calf during OTAs he was clutching

818
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 2: his left calf during practice. He never came off the field.

819
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 2: He stayed in for the next play. So probably, at

820
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 2: least for the Jets side of things, no news is

821
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 2: good news for them. So we'll kind of monitor that

822
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 2: and see if anything comes out of that. Other AFC

823
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:58,280
Speaker 2: East news, Patriots tied in. Mike Sicki suffered a mild

824
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 2: dislocated shoulder during myy's practice. The hope is that he's

825
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 2: back for Week one. Finally, the Cowboys and Zach Martin

826
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:11,720
Speaker 2: have agreed to reworking a deal he returns to the team.

827
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 2: Other news and notes for the Colts, You know, we

828
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 2: got to see a little bit of Anthony richardson on Saturday.

829
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 2: He was seven of twelve for sixty seven yards one interception.

830
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 2: You could see that athleticism on display. I want to

831
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 2: say when we saw him on Saturday, he was According

832
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 2: to Shane Steiken, he is the starter for the team

833
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 2: this season.

834
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 3: I was impressed with him, and Buffalo fans probably have

835
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 3: a skewed view of maybe what the reality is for

836
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 3: everybody because we saw Josh Allen go from Anthony Richardson

837
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 3: to Josh Allen. And when Josh came in, he was

838
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 3: he was the most controversial political subject in football. I

839
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 3: mean you either loved him or hated it. I mean

840
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 3: he was that polarizing. And now, of course everything's changed.

841
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 3: He's an elite quarterback and he's in the conversation for

842
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 3: MVP every year. Anthony Richardson reminds me of where Josh was.

843
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 3: Even more so. He's strong armed, great athlete, finished a

844
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 3: nice run Josh made. Josh was like that when he

845
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 3: was young, and that's why I'm kind of like, Wow,

846
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 3: I'd like to hear what Indianapolis Colt fans think about

847
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson, because to me, it seems like he's the

848
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 3: upside's unbelievable and he's got so far to go. He's

849
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 3: going to improve vastly, really quickly, because he's starting from

850
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 3: so close to no experience, just thirteen college games. That's

851
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 3: pretty amazing.

852
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. Other news, Jonathan Taylor is back with the Colts,

853
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 2: but he still wants to be traded and remains on

854
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 2: the pew P list. Chiefs wide receiver Justin Ross left

855
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 2: today's practice on a cart. I think it was a

856
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:59,240
Speaker 2: leg injury on that, but I'm also already seeing reports

857
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 2: that it's not as bad as people thought it to be.

858
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 2: And then some terrible news. Raven's running back, former Ravens

859
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 2: and Seahawks running backs Eric Alex Collins died as a

860
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 2: result of a motorcycle crash. He was twenty eight years old.

861
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 2: You hate to see that somebody who played in the

862
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 2: NFL for a few years, especially at a result of

863
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 2: a motorcycle crash. So terrible news out of out of

864
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 2: that area where people have cheered for the Seahawks and

865
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,359
Speaker 2: the Ravens. Somebody that a lot of fans probably love.

866
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 2: When we return, we are going to dip into the

867
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 2: tweet sheet, talk about what do you guys think about

868
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 2: this Dalvin Cook and Zeke Elliott deal? Are you in

869
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 2: I Do you think it's gonna be harder for the Bills?

870
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 6: Is it no big deal?

871
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 2: We want to hear your thoughts next on One Bill's Live,

872
00:44:49,120 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 2: or presented by Clyde Health on Buffalo Bills Radio. All Right,

873
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 2: we're back here on One Bill's Live. We're discussing what

874
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 2: we think about the Dalvin Cook and Zeke Elliott additions

875
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 2: to the AFC East does it worry you or you like,

876
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 2: no big deal? What about the Patriots? What about the Jets?

877
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 2: Is it different for depending on what team you're talking about. Well,

878
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 2: we've got Kevin from Hamburg. He's been hanging on the line,

879
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 2: so Kevin will go right over to you. What do

880
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 2: you think about the additions to the Jets and the Patriots?

881
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 2: Are you worried at all?

882
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 1: I'm more worried about the Jets Dalvin Cook than I

883
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 1: am the Patriots. Zeke Elliott seems to be on the

884
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: decline a little bit compared to if you had picked

885
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:48,919
Speaker 1: him up in twenty nineteen. Dalvin Cook worried me much more,

886
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: just because while you saw the Minnesota nightmare, how that

887
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: big touchdown run one of the things that took the

888
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 1: air right out of our stadium. Well, Matt and the

889
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: fumbles and interceptions and stuff like that. So I'm much

890
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: more worried about Dalvin. And with Breach Hall coming back,

891
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: that's gonna be kind of like, I don't know how

892
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 1: much more. I'm not as much worried about Zeke as

893
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 1: I am Dalvin after the Minnesota nightmare.

894
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 7: So.

895
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get it. Zeke has kind of a I

896
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 3: think he's feeling most people feel like Zeke was on

897
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 3: the decline even in Dallas, because Tony Pollard took over

898
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,359
Speaker 3: his spot. Anyway in Dallas, he couldn't hang in there

899
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:41,320
Speaker 3: with Dallas. And and I've thought most people think the

900
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 3: Dallas has got a really good roster always always has

901
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 3: some talent. And to not be able to run behind

902
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 3: the offensive line of Dallas Cowboys, you something's wrong. Tony

903
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 3: Pollard could do it. So Zeke, I don't know what

904
00:46:56,040 --> 00:47:00,359
Speaker 3: he's got to give. It'll be interesting. See, I'm kind

905
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:05,320
Speaker 3: of with Kevin from Hamburg. I'm Dalvin. Can you plug

906
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 3: him into where Breece Hall's vacancy was, even though Breece

907
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 3: Hall now is off the pup list, they got two

908
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 3: really good backs. You gotta feel like the Bills feel

909
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 3: like they've got a strong stable of backs. You only

910
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 3: most teams only play one of them at a time.

911
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 3: Now you can put both of them out there. Somebody's

912
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 3: got to sit down. So okay, great, and I told

913
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 3: you this. Good players make you better. But you gotta

914
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 3: find a way to get him on the field too.

915
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 2: You gotta make room for Yeah, I think Dalvin Cook

916
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 2: does have a little bit more left in the Tank

917
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 2: compared to Zeke Elliott.

918
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 6: But we will see.

919
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 2: Zeke Gelly might have a bigger opportunity there With the Patriots.

920
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 2: I know they have Rmandrie Stevenson, but Damien Harris is

921
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:50,720
Speaker 2: no longer a part of that roster as he's now.

922
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 6: A Buffalo Bill.

923
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 2: You've got a crowded room there. Over at the Jets.

924
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 2: Dalvin Cook is a very talented running back, but so

925
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 2: is Breece Hall. How do they use those two? I

926
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 2: think that's a big question mark, as well as all

927
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 2: the other options that they have on that offense. It's

928
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 2: gonna become a very crowded offense to be a part of.

929
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 2: With the wide receivers that they brought in and now

930
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 2: with Dalvin Cook. I guess it's a good problem to

931
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 2: have if you're the Jets. But how does it all work,

932
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 2: how does it come together? And does it really make

933
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 2: a difference. We will see. But coming up next, we're

934
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 2: gonna have Eric Wood on the show, former Center and

935
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 2: the Bill's Radio color analysts. He's joining us joining us

936
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 2: next on One Bill's Live, So stay with us here.

937
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 2: We're presented by Coaleida Health on Buffalo Bills Radio.

938
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 3: It's one Bill's Live, presented by called Lida Health.

939
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 2: Welcome into our number two of one Bill's Live. Mattie

940
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 2: Glab alongside Steve Tasker today. Chris Brown will be back tomorrow.

941
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 2: The guys had their second practice back in Orchard Park today.

942
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 2: As they turn the page, kind of halfway through training camp,

943
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,439
Speaker 2: I would say even more than halfway through training camp,

944
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 2: as we move on to closed ish practices. Now the

945
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 2: media can still watch all of practice, but fans are

946
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 2: no longer in attendance morning practices for the rest of

947
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,280
Speaker 2: the week. They're going about nine thirty to eleven thirty

948
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 2: every day, and each with each week, we'll get closer

949
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,919
Speaker 2: and closer to an in season schedule. At some point

950
00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:01,880
Speaker 2: they'll shift gears to having afternoon practices mid afternoon, not

951
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 2: really late. It's more like lunchtime practices, which is what

952
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 2: the guys do while we're in season. So they're gonna start,

953
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 2: I would say, turning the page even more to being

954
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 2: like an in season team with roster cuts coming up

955
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 2: on August twenty ninth. But for our number two of

956
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 2: the show, we've got a friend of the show, Eric

957
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,800
Speaker 2: Wood is joining us. He's the Bills radio color analyst,

958
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 2: and a former Bills center, and Eric, we want to

959
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:29,799
Speaker 2: start off from the preseason game with you. We haven't

960
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 2: had a chance at least on this show to break

961
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 2: down what you saw from that preseason show show, I

962
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,839
Speaker 2: mean game. It was a show for the people watching though.

963
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 2: So what did you think of the preseason game against

964
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 2: the colt What stood out to you? I know you

965
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 2: were calling the game with Chris brown so it was

966
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 2: fun to hear you guys back in action mid season form.

967
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:49,360
Speaker 2: I would say.

968
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 10: There was a few blunders on my end. I felt

969
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 10: like I might have been in a little bit of

970
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 10: preseason mode as well. But it was a lot of

971
00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 10: fun being back with Brownie in the booth. South Crushes

972
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 10: always from the field, and John Murphy was in the

973
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 10: broadcast booth with us in attendance, so it was great

974
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 10: to have John back there as well. It was fun

975
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 10: to get back in the swing of things and see

976
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:12,920
Speaker 10: the start of the twenty twenty three season, and the

977
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 10: Bills came out and looked sharp, you know, offensively, they

978
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 10: came out, got the touchdown early, very short field, but

979
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 10: Cook gets four touches early, gets the touchdown, and I

980
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 10: thought that first unit mainly running the football with Kyle

981
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 10: Allen under center, they looked sharp. Bill start off in

982
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:34,320
Speaker 10: twelve personnel. It was last year, I believe we started

983
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 10: the season in five wides, and it just seems like

984
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:39,959
Speaker 10: this year it's gonna be a different tune with Dolon

985
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 10: Kincate and Tuson Knox being out there and seeing more

986
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:47,800
Speaker 10: twelve personnel this year. Kyle Allen, Josh Edit and his

987
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 10: media availability today, you know, he's he's continuing to make

988
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 10: progress in learning this offense and there's a lot of

989
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:57,880
Speaker 10: different nuances that he's still learning. So as the preseason

990
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 10: goes on, I think we should see progression from him.

991
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 10: Matt Barkley has been in the system for a while

992
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:07,399
Speaker 10: and and that showed fourteen for fifteen in the game.

993
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:11,359
Speaker 10: Barkley looked incredible out there, and that's a good sign

994
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 10: for some of these good young receivers and then also

995
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:16,920
Speaker 10: providing some protection in front of him with some of

996
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 10: the younger offensive linemen out there. Defensively, you know, the

997
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:25,319
Speaker 10: focus was on you know, that middle linebacker spot and there,

998
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 10: and then the cornerback competition and Jackson gets an early interception.

999
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 3: In the game.

1000
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 10: Elam and Ben for both with a penalty of piece.

1001
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 10: But you know that's that's still an open competition, and

1002
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 10: you know Bill's got a luxury having four great cornerbacks,

1003
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 10: four good cornerbacks on this roster, Troy White setting Stone

1004
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 10: over there. But that three way competition at corner is

1005
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 10: gonna be a good one. It's gonna be something we

1006
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 10: got to monitor up into the regular season. It wouldn't

1007
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 10: surprise me to see them platooning guys to win the

1008
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 10: every two series rotation like we've seen in the past

1009
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 10: from this Bill's defense at that cornerback two spot.

1010
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,760
Speaker 3: What did you think think about the offensive line's performance

1011
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:03,359
Speaker 3: in the rotation. I know there's a ton of guys

1012
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 3: that played. What do you think about Osiris Torrance and

1013
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 3: the competition at right guard?

1014
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 10: You know, I thought Osiris looked smooth and so they

1015
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 10: wanted to play him. That doesn't necessarily mean that he's

1016
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,319
Speaker 10: number one ahead of Ryan Bates right now. It's still

1017
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,280
Speaker 10: a competition, but they've seen Ryan Bates play against NFL

1018
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:23,280
Speaker 10: starters on Sunday before, so they wanted to get Osiris

1019
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:27,320
Speaker 10: some action against the guys playing for the Colts. And

1020
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,800
Speaker 10: DeForest Buckner, the really talented All Pro defensive tackle. He

1021
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:32,800
Speaker 10: didn't play for the Colts in the game, but he

1022
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 10: got to play against some experienced NFL guys and I

1023
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,879
Speaker 10: think maybe the best thing was, you know, we didn't

1024
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 10: talk about him on air, We didn't notice him, and

1025
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 10: a lot of times with an offensive line, when you're

1026
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 10: evaluating offensive line, when you don't notice him, that's a

1027
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 10: good sign. So I thought he looked smooth in his

1028
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 10: first action out there, and that's going to be another

1029
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 10: competition we have to monitor and Ryan Bates having the

1030
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:58,320
Speaker 10: flexibility that he does, being able to play every spot

1031
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,760
Speaker 10: along the offensive line, that makes him just so valuable

1032
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 10: in that sixth man role that you know, as this

1033
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 10: plays out, I think internally the Bills are probably rooting

1034
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:10,359
Speaker 10: for Osiris to kind of take that step. And yes,

1035
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 10: he's a second round pick, and you want your second

1036
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 10: round picks to be playing as early as possible, but

1037
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 10: you know, Bates is just so valuable as a swing

1038
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 10: guy being able to back those guys up. And I

1039
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 10: thought it was a strong showing from Osiris Torrents in

1040
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:26,399
Speaker 10: a number of guys on the offensive line.

1041
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've got an a They do have a guy

1042
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:31,320
Speaker 3: like Bates who can play all five spots. Both tackles

1043
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 3: both guards, and he obviously played some center this last week.

1044
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,720
Speaker 3: They're also and one of the things that Brownie always

1045
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:40,320
Speaker 3: chimes in about is how they player development department of

1046
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 3: the Bills really gets these guys to play. They're trying

1047
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 3: to duplicate Ryan bates versatility with guys like Alec Anderson,

1048
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 3: with got you know, all these other offensive linemen they've

1049
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 3: got down the down the pipe, Greg Manz. David Edwards

1050
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 3: of course is a wiley veteran who could be a

1051
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 3: swing guard of but that is so huge having a

1052
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 3: guy like that and you don't And I guess the

1053
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 3: thing is, even if he's a better right guard than

1054
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 3: Osiris Torrance is at the moment, you know Torrance's upside

1055
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,279
Speaker 3: is going to be there and baits. You don't want

1056
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 3: to unplug him from right guard or get him into

1057
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:17,880
Speaker 3: right guard where he can't play him you know, it

1058
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 3: hampers his ability to stay sharp at the other positions.

1059
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 3: It's Almos He's almost more valuable as the next guy

1060
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 3: in right.

1061
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 10: Yeah, I agree with that, because you're going to have

1062
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 10: injuries throughout a season and having a guy that has

1063
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 10: NFL starting experience, a guy who's been in this offense,

1064
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,360
Speaker 10: and a guy that has experienced at a number of positions,

1065
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 10: he just becomes so valuable in that backup role. And

1066
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:44,839
Speaker 10: and so yeah, that's that's a great point what you made, Steve.

1067
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,439
Speaker 10: The only thing that scares you a little bit about

1068
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 10: playing a rookie at that right guard spot is you

1069
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:51,879
Speaker 10: start off the season at New York on the road

1070
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 10: on Monday Night football against a very talented Jets defensive line.

1071
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,359
Speaker 10: So it's one of those situations where, yes, you're looking

1072
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,839
Speaker 10: at the upside of the potential in us you want

1073
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:02,399
Speaker 10: him to be the starter so that you could get

1074
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:04,880
Speaker 10: you know, Ryan Bates in that six man role, but

1075
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:07,359
Speaker 10: not at the expense of getting your quarterback blown up.

1076
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,439
Speaker 2: In Week one, right, I want to ask you about

1077
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 2: the running backs. We saw a little bit of James

1078
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 2: Cook against the Colts. He was He had four carries

1079
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:17,919
Speaker 2: for twenty yards, so averaged five yards per attempt, which

1080
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 2: is a great stat to have. And we saw Latavius

1081
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 2: Murray catch a couple of passes. He had a big

1082
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 2: gain for I think over fifteen yards for a first

1083
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:29,839
Speaker 2: down there in a needed type of situation. I think

1084
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:33,000
Speaker 2: he showed up. What did you see out of Latavius

1085
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 2: and James. We didn't see Damien Harris because he is

1086
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 2: injured right now. But this running back room looks a

1087
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 2: little bit different because Nahim Hines will not be a

1088
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:43,440
Speaker 2: part of the team this year with his injury. Hopefully

1089
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:47,280
Speaker 2: Damien Harris comes back within the next couple of practices.

1090
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 2: Sean mcdermertt said, he's trending in the right direction. But

1091
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 2: where do you see Latavius a part of this lineup?

1092
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 2: And then James Cook in the upside that he does

1093
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 2: have in year number two with this team.

1094
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, I've been really impressed with how much spark, just

1095
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:04,920
Speaker 10: the suddenness and the quickness and the speed that Latavius

1096
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 10: Murray at thirty three years old, and the size that

1097
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:09,360
Speaker 10: he has that he still has in the tank. And

1098
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:12,399
Speaker 10: this is a guy that you know has taken care

1099
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 10: of himself throughout his career, true pro's pro, and he

1100
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 10: gives them a different dimension. Last year with Singletary and

1101
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 10: Cook and even Hines, just all those guys are kind

1102
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 10: of a speed a quicker game, smaller running backs.

1103
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 3: With Harris and Murray, you kind.

1104
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 10: Of get that duo where you get a little bit

1105
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 10: different games from those guys.

1106
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 3: You get more power there.

1107
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 10: And you can just do different things to dictate how

1108
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 10: the defense is going to play you. So I'm excited

1109
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 10: about that. James Cook has looked great all through training camp.

1110
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 10: He looked sharpened in the action that we got to

1111
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 10: see him in and look, we know he can make

1112
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 10: plays with the ball in his hands. The issue last

1113
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 10: year at times was past protection. Okay, if you have

1114
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 10: him in there on third down, if they send a blitz,

1115
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 10: you don't necessary you didn't necessarily have the confidence in

1116
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:01,920
Speaker 10: him last year to get a job get the job

1117
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 10: done in pass protection consistently well. Sean McDermott told us

1118
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 10: in the production meeting Friday, when when Steve was in

1119
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 10: there as well, he has been so impressed with how

1120
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 10: James Cook has approached pass protection throughout training camp, his

1121
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 10: mentality with it to where he's a true three down

1122
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 10: back in this league, and he's a guy that I'm

1123
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 10: really excited for this season.

1124
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:24,920
Speaker 3: One of the other things about this coming into this

1125
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:27,440
Speaker 3: first game, and I said in the open of our

1126
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 3: broadcast on the TV side, I'm not really worried about

1127
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 3: Sean McDermott and the staff making the adjustment to him

1128
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 3: as defensive coordinated. I think they're gonna have their their

1129
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 3: t's crossing, their eyes dotted. I think the what I'm

1130
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 3: looking for is what it's going to be, how it's

1131
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 3: going to be different with him calling, and not the

1132
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:46,200
Speaker 3: fact that he can't get it done. But what's going

1133
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 3: to look different about this defense? What are the early

1134
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 3: signs for you that may be a little different.

1135
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 10: Well, Sean Cape kept the game plan pretty vanilla for

1136
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 10: this one one. He wants the guys to be able

1137
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 10: to play fast and not think too much so you

1138
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 10: can truly evaluate those guys that are out there playing

1139
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 10: in the game last week against the Colts. But we

1140
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 10: did see some edge pressure, which is kind of standard.

1141
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 10: We've seen that in the past from Sean mcturmot and

1142
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 10: Leslie Frasier's defense. I don't think we're gonna see all

1143
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 10: the different nuances until Week one where they're unveiling some

1144
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 10: stuff for Aaron Rodgers and do them no good to

1145
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 10: give away any company secrets here throughout the preseason. But

1146
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 10: I think you're gonna see a little bit more aggressiveness,

1147
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 10: maybe some different blitz packages. I remember going against Sean's

1148
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 10: defenses down in Carolina, there was a lot of those

1149
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 10: double A gap looks on third downs with both linebackers

1150
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 10: lined up in the A gaps and the four defensive

1151
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 10: linemen around them, which is it puts a lot of

1152
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:40,280
Speaker 10: pressure on the offensive line when you have six guys

1153
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 10: up in the line of scrimmage like that. I think

1154
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 10: we'll see some of that. I think you'll see a

1155
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 10: little bit more I don't want to say press coverage,

1156
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 10: but more up in your face action on cornerback on

1157
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 10: the outside for a couple of reasons. One, you get

1158
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 10: Trey White fully back and healthy, and then also just

1159
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:58,360
Speaker 10: looking at what affected them especially in the playoffs last year,

1160
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 10: was just some two free access throws on the outside.

1161
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 10: So and then the personnel of this defense with them

1162
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 10: having essentially ten defensive linemen that they can roll in

1163
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 10: and out of there. Taylor Rap having starting experience as

1164
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 10: a third safety, do you bring him in a little

1165
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,440
Speaker 10: bit more? You know, you got Taron Johnson who's played

1166
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:21,760
Speaker 10: great throughout his career. Is there a situations where maybe

1167
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 10: Rap and tarn are on there and it's a it's

1168
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 10: more of a dime defense with six dbs, but you

1169
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 10: have size and physicality in Rap and Taron Johnson It's

1170
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 10: going to be interesting to see how all that shakes out.

1171
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:36,160
Speaker 2: Eric, You're talking about all these possibilities that this team

1172
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 2: has on defense, and you think about all the possibilities

1173
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 2: on offense as well. Do you think it's being overlooked?

1174
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 2: How how deep this team is this season? Some of

1175
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 2: the offseason moves that Brandon bed made, maybe toward the

1176
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 2: end of free agency and when it wasn't such big news.

1177
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 2: You know, the Leonard Floyd signing comes to mind, and

1178
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 2: I think moves like that really show what type of

1179
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:01,440
Speaker 2: team this is. Do you think it's being overlooked a

1180
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 2: little bit? The depth that this team is going to

1181
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 2: have going into Week one?

1182
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think that's fair to say that it's been overlooked.

1183
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 10: And you know, this is an organization that has had

1184
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 10: incredible stability with Sean McDermott in his seventh year, Brandon

1185
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:16,360
Speaker 10: been there for six and a half years of those,

1186
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 10: they're completely aligned. They're drafting towards the same schemes year

1187
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 10: after year and through the draft, through free agency, and

1188
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 10: even not having any big ticket free agents like a

1189
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 10: von Miller last year, they've been able to have some

1190
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 10: really good signings like McGovern and Leonard Floyd and Taylor

1191
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 10: rap where they've just continued to add depth throughout this team.

1192
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:38,480
Speaker 10: And I said it on the broadcast on Saturday, the

1193
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 10: Bills are tough in the preseason because you know their backups.

1194
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 10: I'm not saying all their backups could be starting elsewhere

1195
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 10: all around the league, but man, they have a lot

1196
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 10: of guys with experience in this scheme and a lot

1197
01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:53,120
Speaker 10: of guys with playing experience on Sundays to where you

1198
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:54,600
Speaker 10: know in the preseason you go out and you got

1199
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 10: a guy like Matt Barkley as your third quarterback and

1200
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 10: he can really work the ball around the field very

1201
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:02,760
Speaker 10: comfortable in this offense. You see it on the defensive

1202
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 10: side of the ball as well, where you have guys

1203
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 10: like Aasham and Epanessa who have played a lot of

1204
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 10: meaningful minutes for this Bill's defense. Well, they're playing in

1205
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 10: the second half in these preseason games and really putting

1206
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:16,880
Speaker 10: a step forward out there.

1207
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 3: What do you think is the next step here towards

1208
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:20,480
Speaker 3: I know they got a long wait a couple of

1209
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:23,760
Speaker 3: weeks ago before they ever think about releasing anybody. You

1210
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 3: got a couple you got the Steelers coming up on Saturday.

1211
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 3: The Bears after that the next week, they don't make

1212
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:32,960
Speaker 3: any cuts until then. What would you expect to see?

1213
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,680
Speaker 3: Would this be the game? And I'm kind of thinking

1214
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:38,040
Speaker 3: it might be this game, might see a couple of

1215
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 3: series from Josh on the road in Pittsburgh kind.

1216
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 2: Of things here. The second preseason game was when.

1217
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 3: We saw Yeah, I think it was last year. What

1218
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:46,240
Speaker 3: are your thoughts on the rest of the preseason and

1219
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 3: how it's going to play out?

1220
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:50,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think you would be fair to say that

1221
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:52,800
Speaker 10: we could see Josh Allen this week for a couple

1222
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:54,960
Speaker 10: of series, probably a bunch of handoffs like we saw

1223
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:58,000
Speaker 10: at the early start of the Colts game. Get the

1224
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 10: ball out of his hands quickly, Maybe get some throws

1225
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 10: to guys he hasn't thrown to in a game before,

1226
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:09,720
Speaker 10: a hardy Dalton, Kincaid, Isabella, you know, get those guys

1227
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:12,560
Speaker 10: some action where you know, in a real uniform, in

1228
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:15,040
Speaker 10: a in a real setting. You know he can he

1229
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 10: can operate throwing the ball to those guys, But you're

1230
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 10: gonna see the ball come out of his hands quickly

1231
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 10: if he's out there. They don't want Josh taking any

1232
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 10: shots out there in a preseason game, but you know,

1233
01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 10: you you want to get him some action. Sean mcturbott

1234
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 10: said last week in his press conference that yeah, he

1235
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 10: wants to play Josh in the preseason a little bit,

1236
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 10: so i'd expect to see him out there this week.

1237
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 10: And then, you know, you have some position battles that

1238
01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 10: we've talked about, middle linebacker, cornerback, right guard. But then

1239
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 10: you know the back end of the roster that wide receiver,

1240
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 10: six backup, safeties and corners, this defensive line. There's a

1241
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:53,360
Speaker 10: lot of position battles out there and guys that could

1242
01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 10: have a role in this team that that they're out

1243
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 10: there competing for their job each day.

1244
01:03:57,640 --> 01:03:59,920
Speaker 2: So the Bills open up in twelve personnel. You talk

1245
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:03,440
Speaker 2: about it when during our first question and answer to you,

1246
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 2: we got to see don kin Cad out there. He

1247
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:08,600
Speaker 2: didn't catch a pass in the preseason game, but I

1248
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 2: know you've been you've been seeing some of the highlights

1249
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:13,120
Speaker 2: at practice and you got to see him on the

1250
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:16,000
Speaker 2: field in a Bill's uniform. What do you think about

1251
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:19,440
Speaker 2: this kid, don Kin Cad and the ability that don't

1252
01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 2: gives this offense to truly be a twelve personnel team

1253
01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:28,000
Speaker 2: where defenses have to think about the who about who

1254
01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:31,240
Speaker 2: they're putting on the field. When daln kin Caid lines up,

1255
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:35,160
Speaker 2: whether it's in the slot out why as a blogger,

1256
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 2: he can do a lot for this team.

1257
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 10: Yeah, he puts a lot of pressure on a defense

1258
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 10: because of how athletic and big he is. And then

1259
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 10: he can also block. He's got the size to do it.

1260
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:46,800
Speaker 10: And then you know he's a force in the passing game.

1261
01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:49,520
Speaker 10: And that's because he's got great hands, he's got good speed,

1262
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 10: and he's smart. He sits in zones well. And that's

1263
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:56,320
Speaker 10: what has given Sean the confidence to say, look, where

1264
01:04:56,720 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 10: generally we bring rookies along pretty slow, he trusts Dalton

1265
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 10: to be out there on the field because of how

1266
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:05,760
Speaker 10: quickly he picked up the offense, how how quickly he's

1267
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:08,840
Speaker 10: adjusted to being able to sit in NFL coverages which

1268
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 10: get pretty complicated out there. He's he's got a great

1269
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:13,520
Speaker 10: feel for that and he's a guy that I have

1270
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:17,120
Speaker 10: big expectations for this season. And look, first game of

1271
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 10: the preseason they start him out right away, and good

1272
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:22,440
Speaker 10: sign for their first two draft picks as well, that

1273
01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 10: both those guys were starting out there on that Bill's

1274
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:26,760
Speaker 10: offense in the in the Colts game.

1275
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:29,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've seen Kincaid and I've made the comparison. If

1276
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:34,200
Speaker 3: you know, he looks like he's done this before at

1277
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 3: the pro level. You know, he looks smooth, he looks

1278
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:39,000
Speaker 3: unfazed by it. He looks like he's seen all of

1279
01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:46,120
Speaker 3: this before. Certainly, Josh and I know you you probably

1280
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 3: understand what I'm talking about when the receivers. When quarterbacks

1281
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:51,720
Speaker 3: like a receiver, it's because they can read his body

1282
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:55,040
Speaker 3: language really easy and they know where he wants the

1283
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:56,960
Speaker 3: ball when he's ready for what he's going to do

1284
01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:01,280
Speaker 3: with very few reps. And that's where Dalton Kincaid seemed

1285
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 3: to be right when he came in. He just thinks

1286
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:05,400
Speaker 3: like a quarterback. When he comes out of the break,

1287
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:08,080
Speaker 3: the quarterback says, oh, I see what you're doing, boom

1288
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 3: and throws them the football that goes miles towards. That

1289
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:16,640
Speaker 3: is chemistry and some guys have the ability to get

1290
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 3: that really quickly, and Kincaid seems to be all about that.

1291
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 10: Yeah, that was from the start of camp. Josh was

1292
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 10: looking early and often at Kincaid, which when you have

1293
01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:30,280
Speaker 10: the talent that they have at receiver with Davis and Diggs,

1294
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 10: for him to be looking at Kincaid as often as

1295
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 10: he is. I know he's trying to get developed chemistry

1296
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:38,919
Speaker 10: there as well with it being Kikaid's first year. But yes,

1297
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:42,640
Speaker 10: he's smart, he's athletic. He separates in man coverage, but

1298
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:46,640
Speaker 10: against zone defenses, when you have a guy that when

1299
01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:48,800
Speaker 10: you have a tight end that's as big as he is,

1300
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 10: and when you have that big of a target, but

1301
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:52,920
Speaker 10: he can also get open and find those open spots,

1302
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:55,800
Speaker 10: that's very friendly for a quarterback.

1303
01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:57,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was going to say, I think the spacing

1304
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 2: of it all for rookie to understand space within playing

1305
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 2: against zone and where to be in the right pockets

1306
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 2: to be into catch a ball, I think says a

1307
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:08,880
Speaker 2: lot about a guy who's been on an NFL team

1308
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 2: for only a few months already. Can't wait to see

1309
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:14,560
Speaker 2: what he's going to look like in Week one. All right, Eric,

1310
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:18,840
Speaker 2: the Jets the Patriots. They've added a running back to

1311
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 2: their roster, Dalvin Cook heading to the Jets and Zeke

1312
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 2: Elliott heading to the Patriots. What do you make of

1313
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:29,760
Speaker 2: these moves? And I'll start first with the Patriots. Zeke

1314
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:32,520
Speaker 2: heading to the New England Patriots. How do you think

1315
01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:35,160
Speaker 2: this helps their team. Do you think as a Bills

1316
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 2: fan they should be worried at all about something like this?

1317
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:39,200
Speaker 2: What do you make of it?

1318
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:42,640
Speaker 10: Yeah, I don't know how much Elliot's still got left

1319
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:45,120
Speaker 10: in the tank. Obviously, the Patriots did their homework before

1320
01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:46,920
Speaker 10: signing him, and they gave him a nice contract for

1321
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:49,720
Speaker 10: a running back. Over six million can make up to

1322
01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:51,680
Speaker 10: six million bucks or a little over it.

1323
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:52,920
Speaker 3: So they did their homework.

1324
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:57,000
Speaker 10: They have confidence him and Ramond d Street Stevenson. You

1325
01:07:57,080 --> 01:08:00,439
Speaker 10: know they'll be That's kind of like your were talking

1326
01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:04,200
Speaker 10: about earlier with Singletary and Cook last year. You know,

1327
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:07,560
Speaker 10: they have a similar style. They're built on the power game,

1328
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:10,960
Speaker 10: and so I don't know that either of these moves

1329
01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 10: are extreme needle movers. When you look at Dalvin Cook,

1330
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:17,839
Speaker 10: extremely talented, but they had talent at running back already

1331
01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:21,320
Speaker 10: with Michael Carter and Breise Hall. You had Dalvin Cook there,

1332
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 10: and yes he's a talented player. He's likely going to

1333
01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 10: be the starter there, but I don't know how much

1334
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:29,000
Speaker 10: of an upgrade that is over the other two guys

1335
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:31,879
Speaker 10: that they already got there. But this is a talented

1336
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:35,320
Speaker 10: Jets team, and you know they're kind of the kicker

1337
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 10: to me with them is with this run game and

1338
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 10: even Rogers, you know, can the offensive line get it done?

1339
01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:42,240
Speaker 10: And if they can, they're going to be a really,

1340
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:44,200
Speaker 10: really formidable team this year.

1341
01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:46,519
Speaker 3: And if you and you talk about how you know

1342
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:51,400
Speaker 3: these teams, stock pond I said that good players make

1343
01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:54,519
Speaker 3: you better. But if you're already full of good players,

1344
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:57,280
Speaker 3: who's gonna sit down so that good player can play

1345
01:08:57,320 --> 01:08:59,360
Speaker 3: instead of this good player? And which one's better? I

1346
01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:02,559
Speaker 3: mean if? And I think that's a hard call to make.

1347
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:04,640
Speaker 3: And we saw this way back. You probably this is

1348
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:08,680
Speaker 3: before anybody's time except mine. When Daniel Snyder, who just

1349
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:12,519
Speaker 3: sold the Washington Commanders, when he bought that team, he

1350
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:14,599
Speaker 3: went in and paid a ton of money to guys

1351
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 3: like Bruce Smith and Dion Sanders and the really tremendously

1352
01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:23,200
Speaker 3: great players, it did not work well. This almost this

1353
01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:26,120
Speaker 3: Jet team almost smacks that. And certainly the Rogers thing

1354
01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:28,360
Speaker 3: is a difference maker. And the Jets have built a

1355
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:32,200
Speaker 3: little bit more through the draft than that team that

1356
01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:35,320
Speaker 3: I'm talking about back in the day. But man, oh man,

1357
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:38,760
Speaker 3: it needs to go well, and it needs to go

1358
01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:42,400
Speaker 3: well early. I think, yeah, I think I think you're

1359
01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:43,240
Speaker 3: spot on it.

1360
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 10: Reminds me of the during my time the Philadelphia team

1361
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:49,920
Speaker 10: that loaded up with Mike Vick, and you know, they

1362
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 10: they had all the big free agent signings and it

1363
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:55,719
Speaker 10: didn't quite work out. And I know, as Bill's fans

1364
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 10: and employees, we were hoping that it doesn't work out

1365
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 10: over there. But you know, they're they're a fun team

1366
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 10: to track right now. We'll see if it translates to

1367
01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:09,280
Speaker 10: the regular season. Hard Knocks did a pretty good job

1368
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:13,080
Speaker 10: week one painting Rogers. Maybe not to be the person

1369
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:14,600
Speaker 10: that we've seen in the media, and I've spent some

1370
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:16,920
Speaker 10: time with Aaron good dude. You know he's gonna be

1371
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:19,559
Speaker 10: well liked in the locker room when he goes there.

1372
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:21,760
Speaker 10: But yeah, we'll see if they can, if they can

1373
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:24,599
Speaker 10: piece it all together. But you know, they had such

1374
01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:27,960
Speaker 10: good young talent at that running back spot. Yes, adding

1375
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:30,479
Speaker 10: Dalvin Cook is gonna help out a roster. It's one

1376
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 10: of the best running backs in the NFL. But is

1377
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:36,599
Speaker 10: it at the expense of furthering your development of Breese

1378
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:37,720
Speaker 10: Hall and Michael Carter.

1379
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:41,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great point. Great point, Eric, Thank you

1380
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:44,240
Speaker 2: so much for being with us today. We appreciate your

1381
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:46,840
Speaker 2: thoughts on the first preseason game for the Bills, and

1382
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:49,519
Speaker 2: we know you'll be right back at it on Saturday,

1383
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:52,120
Speaker 2: So will you tasker a game against the Steelers? Six

1384
01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:56,799
Speaker 2: point thirty is kickoff. So appreciate you, Eric, Yeah.

1385
01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:58,800
Speaker 3: My pleasure always fun. Guys. Alrighty, all right?

1386
01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 2: That was Eric Had, former Bills center and current Bills

1387
01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:06,840
Speaker 2: radio color analysts love what he adds to the conversation

1388
01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 2: and his thoughts and how he's kind of seen this team.

1389
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:11,640
Speaker 2: It's always great to hear a different perspective. I mean,

1390
01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:14,000
Speaker 2: we've been talking about this team for a few weeks now,

1391
01:11:14,040 --> 01:11:16,720
Speaker 2: at least in training camp, what they've looked like, and

1392
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:19,840
Speaker 2: coming off of their first preseason game, we have a.

1393
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:22,439
Speaker 3: Little more information to speak about now, and it's fun

1394
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:27,880
Speaker 3: to because we're like everybody, even people who aren't invested

1395
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:32,760
Speaker 3: in the team. You have fantasy teams, you know. Now

1396
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 3: you're trying to start to prognosticate the future and it's

1397
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:39,400
Speaker 3: always hard, but every little bit of information, particularly against

1398
01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 3: a real NFL team, gives you that much more confidence

1399
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 3: that you're going to be right.

1400
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:47,360
Speaker 2: So next Gen Stats just tweeted a thread of week

1401
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:52,000
Speaker 2: one preseason thoughts after Week one of the NFL preseason

1402
01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:55,080
Speaker 2: is in the book, so they did ten notable performances

1403
01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:57,840
Speaker 2: and trends from across the league. The Bills were a

1404
01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:00,200
Speaker 2: part of two of those trends. One was shout out

1405
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:03,040
Speaker 2: Matt Barklay for the job that he did at quarterback.

1406
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:05,720
Speaker 2: The other I thought it was interesting because we were

1407
01:12:05,800 --> 01:12:08,920
Speaker 2: just talking about twelve personnel, the Bills using twelve personnel,

1408
01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:11,719
Speaker 2: coming out in twelve personnel to start the game against

1409
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:15,639
Speaker 2: the Colts, and this tweet says the Bills used twelve

1410
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:19,519
Speaker 2: personnel on thirty five point six percent of their offensive plays,

1411
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:24,160
Speaker 2: almost ten times as often as their league low three

1412
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 2: point six rate in twenty twenty two. This could signal

1413
01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:32,760
Speaker 2: increased usage for starting tight end Dawson Knock Knocks and

1414
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:35,760
Speaker 2: first round pick Dalton kin kaid. I surely think it's

1415
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:38,280
Speaker 2: it's signaling that I don't know if they're going to

1416
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:41,080
Speaker 2: be using it thirty five point six percent of the time,

1417
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 2: but it may. They're definitely going to be up from

1418
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 2: a league low of three point six perce.

1419
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 3: Maybe a smoke screen, you know, where they're giving all

1420
01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:50,280
Speaker 3: these teams something to think about. The Bills didn't the

1421
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:54,760
Speaker 3: Bills like three plays out of one hundred, they were

1422
01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 3: in twelve personnel ash and then this one was one

1423
01:12:57,320 --> 01:13:01,320
Speaker 3: out of three. Yeah, this last week. And of course,

1424
01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 3: you know, you pick a guy like Kinkaid and if

1425
01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:06,759
Speaker 3: he's good, you keep doing it. But yeah, I'm with you, Maddie.

1426
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:08,439
Speaker 3: I have a hard time seeing him doing it thirty

1427
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:13,040
Speaker 3: a third at the time. It's a lot. But nevertheless,

1428
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:16,920
Speaker 3: who knows. We know Dalton Kinkaid's a really good player.

1429
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:20,400
Speaker 3: Dawson Knox is a very good player, and it makes

1430
01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:21,760
Speaker 3: a lot of sense to get him on the field.

1431
01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:25,680
Speaker 3: So we'll see. I'm we need more information anyway, I

1432
01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:26,840
Speaker 3: don't watch you to know the kind of the couple

1433
01:13:26,920 --> 01:13:28,439
Speaker 3: games before I start talking about.

1434
01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 2: That, before you start talking about that. I thought it

1435
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:34,320
Speaker 2: was an interesting stat though, to see that number next

1436
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:36,240
Speaker 2: to twelve personnel, because when you have a guy like

1437
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:39,200
Speaker 2: Dalton Kinkaid on your roster, you're gonna use it more.

1438
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 2: And I know Brandon Bean has talked about a lot

1439
01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 2: he's kind of an eleven and a half personnel type

1440
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:47,599
Speaker 2: of player because he is gonna do more in terms

1441
01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:51,320
Speaker 2: of route running and pass catching than blocking. But to

1442
01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 2: think about it that way, if he can truly add

1443
01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:58,320
Speaker 2: blocking to his arsenal. That's gonna make it even harder

1444
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:01,280
Speaker 2: for defenses be really truly.

1445
01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:04,800
Speaker 3: Twelve person out where you've got two big offensive tackle

1446
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:08,720
Speaker 3: like tight ends that are pushing people around. Then what

1447
01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:13,799
Speaker 3: you're trying to do is get the defense to declare

1448
01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:17,360
Speaker 3: their opinion a mismatch. They want to declare their opinion

1449
01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:20,559
Speaker 3: about what your offense can do against them, and they

1450
01:14:20,600 --> 01:14:23,720
Speaker 3: will match up with their strength on your strength, and

1451
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:27,920
Speaker 3: they will tell you what their opinion is by the

1452
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:30,160
Speaker 3: people they put out there and the coverages that they run,

1453
01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:33,200
Speaker 3: and by deducting what they're doing, they're thinking, Okay, they

1454
01:14:33,240 --> 01:14:35,479
Speaker 3: don't think we can run out of this formation. Let's

1455
01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:37,960
Speaker 3: let's hand it off a couple of times and lump

1456
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:40,479
Speaker 3: them up a little bit. It'll be fun to see

1457
01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:45,000
Speaker 3: if the Bills can make teams pay for whatever decision

1458
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:47,280
Speaker 3: they make about their right.

1459
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:51,080
Speaker 2: So I want to see exactly Sean m exactly Ken

1460
01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:53,840
Speaker 2: Dorsey going, you just put that guy out there, We're

1461
01:14:53,840 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 2: going to eat you up.

1462
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:56,840
Speaker 3: That's right to eat you for. That's exactly right, Maddy.

1463
01:14:56,880 --> 01:15:00,000
Speaker 3: You've got to make force the other team to decline

1464
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:04,760
Speaker 3: their opinion about your offense and your personnel and then

1465
01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:07,479
Speaker 3: make them pay for that and then make them change

1466
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:10,080
Speaker 3: their mind and then make them pay for that too.

1467
01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:13,200
Speaker 3: That's when you're really, really good. And that's what the Bills.

1468
01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:15,040
Speaker 3: That's where the Bills have been. That's where the Bills

1469
01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:16,680
Speaker 3: have been in the last few years. They can be

1470
01:15:16,840 --> 01:15:17,960
Speaker 3: a multitude of ways.

1471
01:15:18,320 --> 01:15:19,760
Speaker 2: I mean, at the end of the last season, it

1472
01:15:19,880 --> 01:15:22,840
Speaker 2: was tough though, because you had injuries. You only had

1473
01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:25,519
Speaker 2: so many things to work with on offense, and I

1474
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:29,040
Speaker 2: think they lost a little bit of that multiplicity that

1475
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:32,439
Speaker 2: they wanted. Yeah, the flexibility that they started off the

1476
01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:32,920
Speaker 2: season with.

1477
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:35,760
Speaker 3: The injuries are going to hit everybody. But last year

1478
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:37,880
Speaker 3: they were the Bills were really They had so many

1479
01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:40,320
Speaker 3: guys that were either dragging something around, weren't as effective

1480
01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:42,599
Speaker 3: as they should have been, or were just flat out

1481
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:46,040
Speaker 3: of the lineup, both offensively and defensively, and they had

1482
01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:47,679
Speaker 3: they had to overcome, and they did for the most

1483
01:15:47,720 --> 01:15:49,479
Speaker 3: part all the way up until the divisional round of

1484
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:53,759
Speaker 3: the playoffs and that you know, but they finally caught.

1485
01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:55,760
Speaker 2: Up to them and they're still thirteen and three.

1486
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:58,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see how they do it this year.

1487
01:15:58,360 --> 01:15:59,400
Speaker 2: Pretty dangerous team.

1488
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:01,920
Speaker 3: When this team one hundred percent healthy, watch out, they

1489
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:03,519
Speaker 3: are one hundred percent difficult to beat.

1490
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:08,599
Speaker 2: I agree, I agree wholeheartedly. All right, we're gonna take

1491
01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:10,800
Speaker 2: a break. When we come back, we're gonna dip into

1492
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:12,760
Speaker 2: the tweet sheet or should I call it the X sheet?

1493
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:15,280
Speaker 2: I don't know what are we calling things these days, guys,

1494
01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:17,000
Speaker 2: I have no idea? Or is it just that thing?

1495
01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:19,600
Speaker 2: We're just gonna keep calling it twitter. I'm fine with

1496
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:22,280
Speaker 2: that too, So come back and join us here on

1505
01:16:57,560 --> 01:17:00,559
Speaker 2: teams that are gonna have to face these two twice

1508
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:08,519
Speaker 2: JJ who's been hanging on the line. So, JJ, what

1509
01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:09,240
Speaker 2: do you have for us?

1510
01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not really running back related, but I just

1511
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:18,280
Speaker 4: wanted to give a call and see if you guys

1512
01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:20,479
Speaker 4: agree that the wide receiver room needs a little bit

1513
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:21,280
Speaker 4: of a shake out here.

1514
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:23,680
Speaker 2: What do you make of a shake up? What you

1515
01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:25,360
Speaker 2: would what kind of shake up do you mean?

1516
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:28,720
Speaker 4: My thought is that right now it's the perfect time

1517
01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:30,920
Speaker 4: to sell high on a guy like Gabe Davis because

1518
01:17:30,960 --> 01:17:34,640
Speaker 4: we have a lot of great, confident receivers behind them,

1519
01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:38,519
Speaker 4: like Khalil Shakur. You know, you tell high on Gabe Davis,

1520
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:41,439
Speaker 4: get some good capital back and then rely on Jags

1521
01:17:41,479 --> 01:17:42,800
Speaker 4: and the guys that you have in house.

1522
01:17:43,520 --> 01:17:46,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, who do you like in regards to Davis?

1523
01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:49,280
Speaker 3: Do you think Khalil Shakir could be the X guy

1524
01:17:49,400 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 3: where Davis is or should Khalil stay at slot? And

1525
01:17:53,439 --> 01:17:55,800
Speaker 3: who goes to Gabe Davis's spot if they go three wide?

1526
01:17:57,320 --> 01:17:59,240
Speaker 4: I like Shakir at the X spot, and then I

1527
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:01,160
Speaker 4: think you can find a slot receiver. I feel like

1528
01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:04,640
Speaker 4: those one of the most replaceable positions in football right now.

1529
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:08,080
Speaker 4: Wide receivers tend to get paid pretty quickly, so I

1530
01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 4: know the bills are up against the salary caps here

1531
01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 4: coming up soon, So I think it's a perfect time

1532
01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 4: to unload Gabe.

1533
01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:18,439
Speaker 3: Okay, thanks, appreciate it. I think they have. I think

1534
01:18:19,720 --> 01:18:23,400
Speaker 3: I think they feel like because just like JJ feels

1535
01:18:23,439 --> 01:18:27,160
Speaker 3: like Gabe Davis has a high watermark right now, and

1536
01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:30,760
Speaker 3: I think the Bills feel like he's still got a

1537
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 3: lot more in it. So I don't think they want

1538
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:34,280
Speaker 3: to get rid of him. I think they want to

1539
01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:36,920
Speaker 3: have him give that to them. I don't think they're

1540
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:38,960
Speaker 3: ready to give up on Gabe. And I think to

1541
01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:42,280
Speaker 3: think back to how Gabe's career began, I think the

1542
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:45,719
Speaker 3: Bills have a lot more faith in him than Bills

1543
01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:51,160
Speaker 3: fans do. After last season when he was injured, I

1544
01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:54,640
Speaker 3: think they tend to forget that. I think you're right.

1545
01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:57,400
Speaker 3: Gabe was not as good as we wanted him to

1546
01:18:57,439 --> 01:18:59,720
Speaker 3: be last year. He was inconsistent, He drops the ball,

1547
01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:04,000
Speaker 3: drop the ball too much, all of that, and and

1548
01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:05,760
Speaker 3: I get to the thought that a lot of people

1549
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:08,439
Speaker 3: are like going, you know, I just you don't feel

1550
01:19:08,479 --> 01:19:10,360
Speaker 3: like he's that unique that he can't replace him with

1551
01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:15,360
Speaker 3: guys in house, with even with Sherfield or Shorter or

1552
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:18,800
Speaker 3: any of the other guys they've got in camp. They

1553
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:22,040
Speaker 3: feel like I should it's gonna be easier to find

1554
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:26,560
Speaker 3: somebody like and with who's the other guy I'm thinking of,

1555
01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:34,160
Speaker 3: Keshawn Johnson, Terrell Shavers, those guys, they're big bodies, and

1556
01:19:34,360 --> 01:19:37,360
Speaker 3: you know, particularly guy like Terrell Shavers who had a

1557
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:42,240
Speaker 3: really wildly up and down game this last Saturday, caught

1558
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:45,679
Speaker 3: a touchdown, made a block, but had had a drop,

1559
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:49,080
Speaker 3: He drew a penalty down the field, had some really

1560
01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:50,960
Speaker 3: good stuff go for his way, and then had some

1561
01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:53,519
Speaker 3: stuff go bad. They don't feel Gabe Davis is that

1562
01:19:53,640 --> 01:19:57,240
Speaker 3: difficult to replace, and certainly maybe last year's Gabe Davis

1563
01:19:57,320 --> 01:19:59,880
Speaker 3: might have been that way. But I think the club

1564
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:03,800
Speaker 3: and and the coaches feel they like him. I think

1565
01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:05,920
Speaker 3: they like him a lot, have more faith in him

1566
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:07,720
Speaker 3: than the average fan does, just because of the way

1567
01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:08,040
Speaker 3: the season.

1568
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:09,920
Speaker 2: I want to see what he has in his tank

1569
01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:12,120
Speaker 2: this year. I want to see none in his tank.

1570
01:20:12,160 --> 01:20:13,599
Speaker 2: That's not the right way to say it. I want

1571
01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:15,400
Speaker 2: to see what he has to show this year. I

1572
01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:17,680
Speaker 2: think he has a lot left in his tank. I

1573
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:19,639
Speaker 2: want to see what he can do on the field.

1574
01:20:20,479 --> 01:20:25,400
Speaker 2: I think Gabe Davis had I could had he had

1575
01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:28,160
Speaker 2: a great camp and he continues to have a great camp.

1576
01:20:28,479 --> 01:20:31,080
Speaker 2: Him and Stefan Diggs are up there for for and

1577
01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:35,759
Speaker 2: Dolkinkaid are up there for best offensive weapons. In terms

1578
01:20:35,840 --> 01:20:39,040
Speaker 2: of the camps that these three have put together, I

1579
01:20:39,160 --> 01:20:41,439
Speaker 2: mean the plays that some of them have made. And

1580
01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:46,120
Speaker 2: specifically talking about Gabe Davis, he has been so consistent

1581
01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:48,040
Speaker 2: during camp and that's the thing that we wanted to

1582
01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:50,880
Speaker 2: see from him. He's showing it to us in camp,

1583
01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:53,960
Speaker 2: that consistency that he lacked last year because he said,

1584
01:20:54,040 --> 01:20:56,320
Speaker 2: I thought I took a step back with that ankle injury.

1585
01:20:56,360 --> 01:20:58,040
Speaker 2: I don't want to give that up yet. I want

1586
01:20:58,080 --> 01:21:01,040
Speaker 2: to see what that means for Bills this year and

1587
01:21:01,120 --> 01:21:04,320
Speaker 2: how it works with Stephan Diggs and Don't Kinkaiden, how

1588
01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:06,519
Speaker 2: it's all put together. He had a catch today that

1589
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:09,840
Speaker 2: is one of the best catches I've seen during camp,

1590
01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:13,120
Speaker 2: Josh Allen. Josh said it was on fourth down, so

1591
01:21:13,160 --> 01:21:15,639
Speaker 2: it was the guy to have it play and Josh

1592
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:18,639
Speaker 2: Allen they were in the red zone and he threw

1593
01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:21,680
Speaker 2: a pass to the corner of the end zone and

1594
01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:25,240
Speaker 2: Gabe Davis was there to go up for the grab.

1595
01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:28,639
Speaker 2: It was a fifty to fifty ball against Tradevius White.

1596
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:32,880
Speaker 2: Gabe went up, got some air and came up over Trey,

1597
01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:35,720
Speaker 2: so he had better placement of the ball, but to

1598
01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:37,840
Speaker 2: haul it in he basically had to catch the ball

1599
01:21:37,960 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 2: on the back of Tredevious White. It was a great

1600
01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:43,400
Speaker 2: play by Gabe. Trey was right in on the play too,

1601
01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:46,360
Speaker 2: but it was an incredible grab. I don't know. We've

1602
01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:47,479
Speaker 2: seen I don't want to give up that.

1603
01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:51,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've seen. Gabe played a high, high level. He

1604
01:21:51,400 --> 01:21:55,160
Speaker 3: fits the offense extremely well. And I get it too.

1605
01:21:55,240 --> 01:21:57,680
Speaker 3: Everybody wants, you know, everybody wants their team to have

1606
01:21:57,880 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 3: a j Jalen Waddle and a Tyreek Hill and a

1607
01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:04,680
Speaker 3: Steph Diggs and whoever Julio Jones in his prime. You

1608
01:22:04,840 --> 01:22:09,120
Speaker 3: want to And I get it, uh, I just I

1609
01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:12,000
Speaker 3: And I'm I'm all for upgrading every spot on the roster.

1610
01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:14,840
Speaker 3: I just don't know that they can do it with

1611
01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:17,840
Speaker 3: upgrade Gabe Davis's spot with somebody who's here on the

1612
01:22:17,920 --> 01:22:20,680
Speaker 3: roster right now. I don't gave Davis is playing for

1613
01:22:20,760 --> 01:22:23,280
Speaker 3: a reason because he's better than most of those guys.

1614
01:22:23,360 --> 01:22:25,559
Speaker 2: And I don't think a player like Khalil Shakir has

1615
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:28,439
Speaker 2: done enough to separate himself from the rest of the pack.

1616
01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:32,000
Speaker 3: Khalil, to me, is not the kind of athlete that

1617
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:34,960
Speaker 3: can play an X. He's a smaller He's.

1618
01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:37,240
Speaker 2: A smaller body type of guy, and sometimes you see

1619
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:38,960
Speaker 2: that in the way that yeah in the way that

1620
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:41,840
Speaker 2: he plays. I think Khalil has had some some sure

1621
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:44,519
Speaker 2: gray grabs through camp as well, but I don't think

1622
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:47,439
Speaker 2: he's been as consistent as a Gabe Davis as year.

1623
01:22:47,479 --> 01:22:50,600
Speaker 2: If you're comparing those two in the same position, I

1624
01:22:50,680 --> 01:22:53,599
Speaker 2: wouldn't like you said either, because he's a different body

1625
01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:57,760
Speaker 2: type and I think he sure can learn different positions,

1626
01:22:57,800 --> 01:22:59,840
Speaker 2: but I don't know if that's where they would see

1627
01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:03,559
Speaker 2: him fitting. We've seen a lot out of Trent Sherfield,

1628
01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:07,080
Speaker 2: been impressed by him, been impressed by Deontay Hardy, But

1629
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:09,679
Speaker 2: I think some of these younger guys, you're still waiting

1630
01:23:09,760 --> 01:23:12,760
Speaker 2: to see what is How are you gonna pan out?

1631
01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:13,080
Speaker 7: What is it?

1632
01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:15,400
Speaker 2: What is it gonna look like for you? For a

1633
01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:19,559
Speaker 2: guy like Justin Shorter, for you know, you say Tyrrell Shavers,

1634
01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:21,560
Speaker 2: he's he's had a great camp, but then in the

1635
01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:25,120
Speaker 2: preseason game, you know, you draw a penalty, like you said,

1636
01:23:25,160 --> 01:23:28,120
Speaker 2: you were involved in a touchdown pass. Keishawn Johnson has

1637
01:23:28,160 --> 01:23:31,559
Speaker 2: had some great catches Isaiah Coulter had some great catches too,

1638
01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:35,120
Speaker 2: but then he got injured. I think the bottom of

1639
01:23:35,280 --> 01:23:39,400
Speaker 2: the wide receiver room. When you're talking about how many

1640
01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 2: wide receivers are going to be a part of the

1641
01:23:42,520 --> 01:23:46,479
Speaker 2: active roster the fifty three, I think six. That's a

1642
01:23:46,520 --> 01:23:48,200
Speaker 2: hard room to make. And I think the guys that

1643
01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:51,200
Speaker 2: go to the practice squad, I don't even know if

1644
01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:52,880
Speaker 2: they're going to go to the practice squad because I

1645
01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:54,519
Speaker 2: think some of them are going to get plucked by

1646
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:57,839
Speaker 2: other teams. That's how well this group has been performing.

1647
01:23:57,920 --> 01:23:59,960
Speaker 2: They've all had their days where they've stood out.

1648
01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:04,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, And if you're talking about that X receiver opposite Steph,

1649
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:08,720
Speaker 3: who's a Z A guy like Steph, and and they're interchangeable,

1650
01:24:08,720 --> 01:24:11,479
Speaker 3: and certainly they are exceptions to what I'm about to say,

1651
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:14,880
Speaker 3: because we've seen it. Steph is not an enormous, big

1652
01:24:15,040 --> 01:24:17,559
Speaker 3: time six four and twenty pound four to three guy.

1653
01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:19,880
Speaker 3: He is a route runner and a technician who can

1654
01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:24,559
Speaker 3: get open just against any man coverage. The the guy

1655
01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:28,240
Speaker 3: opposite Steph, what you ideally, I think would want, would

1656
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:30,479
Speaker 3: be a big six ' two six three six '

1657
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:34,200
Speaker 3: four guy that is justin she just a physical president

1658
01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:37,960
Speaker 3: president right, so you can you can put Steph with

1659
01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:44,000
Speaker 3: Justin with Dalton Kincaid, and a slot receiver trips to

1660
01:24:44,120 --> 01:24:46,360
Speaker 3: one side, and then have this this other guy who's

1661
01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:51,000
Speaker 3: a big physical body against the third or second or

1662
01:24:51,040 --> 01:24:53,960
Speaker 3: third corner on their roster. Because they got three guys

1663
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:57,080
Speaker 3: over here, they're gonna put all their coverage to the

1664
01:24:57,280 --> 01:24:59,840
Speaker 3: trip side, and you leave this big X receiver over

1665
01:24:59,880 --> 01:25:02,120
Speaker 3: here by himself on an island along with the corner.

1666
01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:05,559
Speaker 3: That's kind of the mentality. You have a guy who

1667
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:08,880
Speaker 3: is a you've got to have a corner that's got

1668
01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:13,680
Speaker 3: some skills to play against him because he's too big

1669
01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:16,599
Speaker 3: not to put a big body on right. So that's

1670
01:25:16,640 --> 01:25:18,360
Speaker 3: the kind of guy you kind of want opposite. A

1671
01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:21,200
Speaker 3: guy like Steph who like goes in motion, moves around,

1672
01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:24,080
Speaker 3: plays off the line of scrimmage, so you can't really

1673
01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:26,479
Speaker 3: get right up in his face and he just avoids you.

1674
01:25:27,120 --> 01:25:29,880
Speaker 3: A guy like Gabe step right up on the line

1675
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:32,720
Speaker 3: of scrimmage and you know, slap the taste out of

1676
01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:35,280
Speaker 3: your mouth. You gotta physically bear up to play a

1677
01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:38,720
Speaker 3: big dude like that Shorter this season, Yes, like like

1678
01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:41,400
Speaker 3: Shorter and Shavers. Those guys are way over six to

1679
01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:45,880
Speaker 3: two and they're big. So they give you that. But

1680
01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:50,439
Speaker 3: I'm not ready to I'm not ready to deal. I

1681
01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:52,720
Speaker 3: guess neither one of us are ready to deal Gabe

1682
01:25:52,840 --> 01:25:55,120
Speaker 3: Davis on the chance that one of these two guys,

1683
01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:57,240
Speaker 3: now they've seen now, the coaches know him, they've got

1684
01:25:57,280 --> 01:25:59,519
Speaker 3: more information than we do. Maybe they like these guys

1685
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:02,000
Speaker 3: and they would do it. But man, oh man, Gabe

1686
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:02,519
Speaker 3: Davis is.

1687
01:26:02,520 --> 01:26:04,719
Speaker 2: A guy who is adds to your offense.

1688
01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:08,280
Speaker 3: You can't do that. Some trust with his coaching staff

1689
01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:09,639
Speaker 3: that's hard to earn.

1690
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:16,479
Speaker 2: The staff, the players, they speak volumes of the type

1691
01:26:16,520 --> 01:26:18,040
Speaker 2: of guy in the locker room that he is in,

1692
01:26:18,120 --> 01:26:21,120
Speaker 2: the type of work that he puts in to perfect

1693
01:26:21,200 --> 01:26:21,759
Speaker 2: his craft.

1694
01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:24,280
Speaker 3: Coaches and like guys like Brandon Bean, he's paid not

1695
01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:27,439
Speaker 3: to get it emotionally attached to guys. They're paid to

1696
01:26:27,520 --> 01:26:30,280
Speaker 3: be objective. Like you may love this guy, it's great,

1697
01:26:30,479 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 3: you're you know, you have him over the house for

1698
01:26:32,560 --> 01:26:35,840
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving stuff. I'm sorry he's leaving because we've got a

1699
01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:38,639
Speaker 3: better player. You got to have people in your organization

1700
01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:39,320
Speaker 3: that are willing.

1701
01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:39,479
Speaker 8: To do that.

1702
01:26:41,080 --> 01:26:43,240
Speaker 2: And it's not like he's a second round pick that's

1703
01:26:43,360 --> 01:26:45,519
Speaker 2: that's playing like a second round pick. He is a

1704
01:26:45,800 --> 01:26:49,479
Speaker 2: he was a fourth round pick. Yeah, no staying.

1705
01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:52,200
Speaker 3: I have a hard time. I have Yeah, I'm with you.

1706
01:26:52,360 --> 01:26:54,200
Speaker 3: I have a hard time getting to the point where

1707
01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:55,800
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, you know what, we're going to move

1708
01:26:55,880 --> 01:27:00,519
Speaker 3: on from him. I'm just not there yet. I understand.

1709
01:27:00,640 --> 01:27:03,320
Speaker 3: You know, JJ is our caller. He's like, it's time

1710
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:05,000
Speaker 3: to sell high on him. We could probably get. No,

1711
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:06,800
Speaker 3: the time to sell high on him was last year

1712
01:27:06,840 --> 01:27:09,720
Speaker 3: after he caught four touchdowns in Kansas City. You could

1713
01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:15,760
Speaker 3: have gotten you might have gotten a one for the guy. Yeah, well,

1714
01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:16,280
Speaker 3: there you go.

1715
01:27:16,520 --> 01:27:18,800
Speaker 2: All right, when we come back, we're gonna wrap up

1716
01:27:18,880 --> 01:27:22,439
Speaker 2: shop here, close up shop here. We will maybe answer

1717
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:25,880
Speaker 2: a couple of tweetsheet comments, read those off and know

1718
01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:28,120
Speaker 2: we haven't really gotten to that yet, so we'll do

1719
01:27:28,240 --> 01:27:30,360
Speaker 2: that next Here on one, Bill's ive were presented by

1720
01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:30,800
Speaker 2: Clyde Hell.

Speaker 6: This is Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, it's official.

1722
01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:47,360
Speaker 2: The Bills have announced that offensive tackle Brandon Shell has

1723
01:27:47,400 --> 01:27:51,120
Speaker 2: officially been placed on the reserve slash retired list. So

1724
01:27:51,320 --> 01:27:55,439
Speaker 2: reports after practice we're correct about Brandon Shell retiring from

1725
01:27:55,479 --> 01:27:59,120
Speaker 2: the game. That question now for the offensive line depth,

1726
01:27:59,240 --> 01:28:01,920
Speaker 2: really at right tackle because he was kind of backing

1727
01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:04,479
Speaker 2: up Spencer Brown, at least what we saw from the

1728
01:28:04,560 --> 01:28:08,040
Speaker 2: training camp portions that were open to media and fans

1729
01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:11,599
Speaker 2: at Saint John Fisher University. So we'll see what happens

1730
01:28:11,680 --> 01:28:14,439
Speaker 2: with the rotation out there. We know offensive line depth

1731
01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:17,120
Speaker 2: is really important, not just to the Bills but to

1732
01:28:17,240 --> 01:28:18,439
Speaker 2: any team in the NFL.

1733
01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:21,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, that'll be guys. Well, Tommy Doyle will move up,

1736
01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:32,840

1737
01:28:32,840 --> 01:28:37,720
Speaker 3: as well. Karaj was Karriash I guess he's out there

1738
01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:41,000
Speaker 3: working at tackle, left tackle in some spots as well.

1739
01:28:41,080 --> 01:28:43,160
Speaker 3: So they've got guys on the roster that they're giving

1740
01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:44,559
Speaker 3: a chance, and all those guys just kind of move

1741
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:47,760
Speaker 3: up one tick wherever Brandon Shell was in the pecking order.
