1
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: This is One Bill's Live presented by Calida Health.

2
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 2: Hey, how we doing, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker here with

3
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 2: you on a Tuesday. One Bill's Live is the show.

4
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us. Long practice today who for the

5
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: team out there went over two hours and probably due

6
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 2: in part to the fact that they are traveling tomorrow

7
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: to Pittsburgh before they undergo a joint practice on Thursday.

8
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: With this, I imagine they'll do some walk through stuff

9
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: tomorrow after they get to Pittsburgh, presumably even in a

10
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: hotel conference room. Yeah, but nothing all that vigorous tomorrow.

11
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: So they went hard today.

12
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: They may actually just work out, you know, take them

13
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: through a workout tomorrow, walk through and then work them

14
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: out like in the weight room whatever, because some conditioning

15
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: and certainly guys who didn't practice today, they'll get something done.

16
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: But yeah, this is all a ramp up for well,

17
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 1: hopefully what will be a better end to the weekend

18
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: than we saw last weekend.

19
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 2: Right, And we'll get to more on that in just

20
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 2: a little bit. But you you were out and about

21
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,399

22
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, thirty or thirty six year of the Jim Kelly

24
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: of them. This is a bunch of the groups. And

25
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: if we were going to have a contest, see if

26
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: people out there could name everybody in the in the picture.

27
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:55,840

Speaker 1: Yeah there, and Chris Moore and Jamie Mueller is the

33
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: Who if people who watched the team during the nine

34
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: he saw Woody all over the sidelines. Yeah, good group.

35
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: And that's just you know, that's just a portion of

36
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: the guys that were actually there. There's a ton of

37
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: players there. You know, Phil Hanson, I know, Jerry Ostrowski

38
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,399
Speaker 1: was there, John Fiena were there. It's got a chance

39
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: to say hi to those guys. Just a ton of guys.

40
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: Jim uses the and and thanks to Terry Hills Golf Course,

41
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 1: it it makes a huge Evans twenty seven holes and

42
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: Jim fills them all. It used to be they put

43
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: all that in an eighteen whole course, and it would

44
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: take it be literally an eight hour round. Now it's

45
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: only six six and a half hours, takes all day,

46
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. It's one of those days. And

47
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: you know how Jim is, it's it's never a small event.

48
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: You know, Shooter McGavin's there and Boom boomers there. I mean,

49
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: I mean, Chris Berman's there. But you know, I knew

50
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: it was gonna be a different You walk up, you

51
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: play a hole or two, you come up, there's a

52
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,839
Speaker 1: tent there with some food and some music, and it's like, hey,

53
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: welcome to party tent number four.

54
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 2: It's gonna be one of those, one of several.

55
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: Yes, it's one of several. So it was a huge event. Awesome.

56
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: They raise a lot of money and do a lot

57
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 1: of good things, so congratulations. It was awesome to see

58
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: all the old guys. It's it really is a one

59
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: of a kind event.

60
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know you're kind enough to house a

61
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: couple of them.

62
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, a couple of dudes stayed at the house,

63
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: a couple of old the old guys, and you know,

64
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: we went out to dinner and it was good to

65
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: see him. It was good to see him.

66
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

67
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: Uh So with respect to practice today, there was a

68
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: little bit of a different look because they had to

69
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: go through some roster transactions due to some injured players

70
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 2: and the nuts and bolts of it are as follows.

71
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: They had to put wide receiver Chase Claypool on injured reserve.

72
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: It's been dealing with a tow injury two weeks ago.

73
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 2: It was called a day to day injury, but he

74
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: has been unable to get back on the field. He

75
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 2: goes to IR. And then you also had Shane Bouchell

76
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 2: placed on injured reserve. Suffered a neck injury in the

77
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 2: preseason opener against the Bears, but was able to finish

78
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 2: the game. And then I'm presuming they noticed something or

79
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: took X rays and found something that didn't look good,

80
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 2: so you don't want to mess around with the neck,

81
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,799
Speaker 2: so he too went on injured reserve. And then Brian Thompson,

82
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: who we saw come out of the game with a

83
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 2: hamstring injury on Saturday, was waived injured. So now if

84
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 2: he clears waivers, he will revert back to the Bills

85
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 2: and go to injured reserve as well. So down two receivers.

86
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 2: We'll signed two receivers. They signed veteran wide receiver Demir

87
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: Bird to a one year contract. This will be his

88
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 2: ninth year in the NFL if he can somehow find

89
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: a way on to Buffalo's roster. Has return experience in

90
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: addition to being a receiver. Some Bills fans might remember

91
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: when he was on the Patriots roster for a couple

92
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: of seasons. So he is on the roster wearing jersey

93
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: number eighty nine.

94
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: Stea, there you go.

95
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: And then they needed to get another quarterback in here,

96
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 2: so they signed free agent Ben Denucci to a one

97
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 2: year deal. And he started ten games for the Seattle

98
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 2: Sea Dragons of the XFL last year. That was his

99
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 2: latest most extensive action, but some might remember him being

100
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: a backup with the Dallas Cowboys. He's wearing jersey number fifteen.

101
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 2: Didn't do any teamwork today, as you might expect. He's

102
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 2: just trying to absorb the very basics of the scheme.

103
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: And then one other receiver who signed was wide receiver

104
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: Dean Kane signed a one year deal. He's been in

105
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 2: the spring leagues the last two seasons, won a USFL

106
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 2: championship in twenty twenty three and then a UFL championship

107
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: this past year with the Birmingham Stallions, so he's here

108
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:33,799
Speaker 2: as well. So those are your additions and subtractions from

109
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 2: the Bills roster. And yeah, none of them really did

110
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 2: a whole lot in teamwork. We did see Birdbeck for

111
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 2: return units, so he'll factor in there. But they needed

112
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: fresh legs. I mean they were dropping at the receiver position.

113
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 2: And you won't you don't want to overtax the guys

114
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 2: that are healthy. You got to get other people in here.

115
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta have guys that can take reps and

116
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: help the rest of the team get get good and

117
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: plus you well, here's what happens. I mean, you get

118
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: you get guys hurt at one position. You bring God

119
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: that's in they can't even take reps yet. So you

120
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: got half the number of guys taking the same number

121
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: of reps. That double the number of guys was taken.

122
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: And now the half guys that are left that are healthy,

123
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: they get hurt. Yeah, because they're over overworked extra So

124
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: you gotta be careful about that. And it takes a

125
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: minute to get these guys acclimated. So a long practice

126
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: like today is a big step because it's it'll give

127
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: the new guys a chance now tonight, tomorrow through an

128
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: easier day, the travel day, and then on Thursday they

129
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: can show up maybe contribute.

130
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: Curtis Samuel a non participant in practice today. We don't

131
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: have word as to why. Maybe it's a veteran rest day.

132
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: We don't know, so nothing new there in terms of

133
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: details as to why he was a spectator of practice.

134
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 2: Daikwon Jones back in the practice. That was good to see.

135
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 2: Lawrence Keys got a little shaken up on a one

136
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 2: on one play and exited practice early. And then Eddie

137
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 2: Yulafochio was back practicing, but he's in a red non

138
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: contact jersey. He is coming back from a rib injury,

139
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 2: so you understand why he'd be wearing a non contact jersey.

140
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: Ribs can be tender. And then we saw Matt Maloneld

141
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 2: finished practice early, did not finish, so we don't have

142
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 2: word onto why that was. Trainers were over there talking

143
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 2: to him, so we'll have to figure out what's a

144
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 2: foot there and see if there's an official report.

145
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: Didn't seem to be didn't seem to be massive or catastrophic, but.

146
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 2: He and it wasn't lower body.

147
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looked like it looked like they were examining

148
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 1: his arm. He I saw him over there doing a

149
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: some push ups and kind of locking his arms out

150
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: and holding himself up in a plank position. But they

151
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 1: took his helmet and said you're done for the day,

152
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: and so he just watched. You know, you hate to

153
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: see that, but I don't think it doesn't look catastrophic.

154
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: So we'll see.

155
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we'll wait on word on that as well.

156
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 2: Joe Brady addressed the media prior to practice today the

157
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator, and naturally he was asked a lot of

158
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 2: questions about Ben Denucci because this is a guy that's

159
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: going to have to get up to speed as quickly

160
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 2: as possible. He said, with respect to Saturday's game, Danucci

161
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 2: is going to get a set menu of plays, so

162
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 2: obviously they'll whittle it down to something that's manageable for

163
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 2: him to execute in the game Saturday. So it'll be

164
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 2: a limited menu so that he can master those ten, twelve,

165
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 2: fifteen plays while he's in the game on Saturday.

166
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: That's really hard because you don't know what situate down

167
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: in distances you're gonna be and it's gonna be right.

168
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 2: I eventually haven't played with the guys you're lining up with.

169
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: There's all of that going on. You got to feel

170
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: for this guys, because these guys have been out here

171
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: working for six months, putting stuff in, thinking about it.

172
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: You give him a menu. It's got to have. You

173
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: got to have first and ten plays, second and short

174
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: second and long first and long third and long third

175
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: and short short yardst goal. You gotta have a whole

176
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: toolbox to go in and actually run plays. Now, I

177
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: get it. You could just say, now, we're not gonna

178
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: do anything. I not worry about the down and distance.

179
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: We saw what happened. That looks like last week against Chicago. Right,

180
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: you don't want to look like that. But you don't

181
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: want to turn the guy out there with nothing on

182
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: his plate, because that's that's not fair either. Yeah, you're

183
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: setting him up to fail and the rest of the

184
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: team up to fail. So man, oh man, As a coach,

185
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: I've that's a that's a job. You gotta talk, you

186
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: gotta kid, You gotta take some time to get to

187
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: know the guy. What do you like, what do you

188
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: don't like? You think you'd run this? What about this?

189
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: You know all of that. Yeah, that's a lot to do.

190
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: In three days, four days.

191
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 2: Right, So he'll be jamming and crammon today tomorrow on

192
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 2: the travel tomorrow night, and you know he'll probably he

193
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 2: might be able to take some reps in the joint practice,

194
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 2: which would be a good setup for Saturday because he's

195
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 2: going to play on Saturday, according to coach Brady. So

196
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 2: that's kind of where it's at right now. And look,

197
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 2: it's not gonna be easy. And the two receivers are

198
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 2: in a similar boat because the team is down two

199
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 2: wide outs who went to ir. They might be down

200
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 2: another with Lawrence Keys leaving practice early today. We'll have

201
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 2: to see what that's about. So Dean Kine and Tamir

202
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: Bird are gonna have to get rolling here too and

203
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: hit the ground running. It's a lot of extra work

204
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 2: for the quarterbacks, coach Ronald Curry, you know, receivers, coach

205
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 2: and Henry So they're the ones that have to put

206
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 2: in the extra hours with these guys to make sure

207
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 2: they know what they're doing out there. And it's one

208
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 2: of those necessary evils that can crop up when you

209
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 2: have injuries at a position.

210
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I'm really interested to see what this next

211
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 1: game looks like. Certainly there's nobody in the locker room

212
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: that like the way they looked getting their heads caved

213
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: in on Saturday. So but they this is different as well,

214
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: because they're going to be practicing against the Steelers Thursday,

215
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: and those practices tend to be a little bit you know, chippy, right.

216
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 2: I did ask coach Brady this morning. I said, do

217
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 2: you have anything that in terms of what's on your

218
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: to do list here in the preseason that's better suited

219
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 2: for a joint practice where you can control the environment

220
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 2: to some degree and work with their defensive coordinator on

221
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 2: certain things which you know you can't do in the

222
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: preseason game. And he said, yeah, well, we'll divvy it

223
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 2: up accordingly. But I may want to get certain play

224
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 2: calls against certain looks, and we can collaborate on that

225
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 2: and run plays against specific looks to see how it looks.

226
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 2: These two teams aren't playing each other in the regular season,

227
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 2: so it's nothing. You know, you're not unearthing any grandiose

228
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 2: secrets of any kind, and so you want to get

229
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 2: the work in. That's what you do. He also mentioned

230
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 2: scramble drills, like that's something you really don't want to

231
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 2: be executing in the preseason because you're putting your quarterback

232
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 2: at risk in a joint practice, you're not. So they

233
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 2: might run some of that on Thursday against the Steelers

234
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 2: because they know their quarterback is not going to get hit.

235
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 2: It's against you know, right of the rules, no touching

236
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks.

237
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: That's right, and that's you know there is We've said it,

238
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: we've heard it for years, and now it's becoming more

239
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: and more prevalent. I had a list of the like,

240
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: what was it sixteen teams or thirty or twenty four

241
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: teams that were all having some sort of joint practice

242
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: during the season. I think it's only eight teams that

243
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: did not.

244
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 2: San Francisco had to cancel theirs with the Saints yesterday

245
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 2: because they have twenty three guys injured. So the last

246
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 2: thing you want to do is go into an intense

247
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: joint practice and come out with six more guys in.

248
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: Right, that's right, twenty three out of ninety.

249
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 2: Wow, that's Niners are beat up.

250
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: What are they doing out there? It happens to them

251
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: every regular hitting that's what That's what happens to him

252
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: in the regular season.

253
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 2: Two.

254
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, they got to do some soul searching out not

255
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: wrong about that. Yeah, by that, did you read the

256
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: Jeff Coltenak just put this up in our chat. Nathan

257
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: Peterman back in the National Football League.

258
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 2: And back with the Raiders. Back with the Raiders. Let's

259
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 2: go around the NFL and we'll lead with that. Around

260
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 2: the NFL brought to you by Kalida Health, the official

261
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 2: healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills. And yeah, Nathan Peterman

262
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 2: was released by the Saints last week and has latched

263
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: on with the Raiders, a team he had played with previously.

264
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: So the career continues for the former Bill's third round pick.

265
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 2: They made room for him on the roster by waving

266
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: and waived injured was wide receiver Keelan DAWs. So, so

267
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 2: there you go. Other news around the league as the

268
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 2: world turns in Gotham, Jets pass rushier Hassan Reddick, as

269
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: we told you yesterday, requested a trade from the Jets.

270
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 2: Jets GM Joe Douglas issues a statement that says we're

271
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 2: not trading him and they remain at an impass. So Steve,

272
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 2: I've said it on this show before, I'll say it again.

273
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 2: The Jets excel at self saidbotage, they knew this guy

274
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 2: wanted a new contract from the Eagles, and that's why

275
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 2: the Eagles were trading him, because they didn't want to

276
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 2: pay him any more than the fourteen in a quarter

277
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 2: he was set to make this year. The Jets claim

278
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 2: they had an agreement in principle that Reddick would show

279
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 2: up to camp and they would work on an improved

280
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 2: deal for him. That is being refuted by the Reddick camp,

281
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 2: who said no such discussion was had, and we wanted

282
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 2: a new deal from the jump. So here we are.

283
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: And you could say it's not a distraction for the

284
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 2: players because they haven't seen hide nor hair of him

285
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 2: at all this offseason since the trade occurred. But and look,

286
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 2: they got Jermaine Johnson, they have Will McDonald, two former

287
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 2: first round picks for pass rushers that they can line

288
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 2: up on the outside. But after letting Bryce Huff go,

289
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: who actually signed with the Eagles for three years and

290
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 2: fifty one million seventeen a year, Hassan Reddick, they trade

291
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 2: for and give up a third round pick, and he

292
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 2: wants probably more money than that. You could have just

293
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 2: signed your own twenty six year old in the prime

294
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 2: of his career and been better off.

295
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: That seems dumb. Now maybe the kid going Huff. Maybe

296
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: Huff is not going to do well. Maybe they know

297
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 1: they're maybe they're right. Maybe Huff is not worth the

298
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: money that the Eagles paid him. Maybe Hassan Reddick's pretty

299
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: good player. That's hard to that's a hard sell, particularly

300
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: if you, I mean, everybody knew the story with Reddick.

301
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: He wanted a new deal. It's time to get one.

302
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 2: Let's go probably his last chance to get one in

303
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 2: that's right.

304
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 1: He's not waiting around for it. And the Jets had

305
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: to know that. They had to know that, Yeah, and

306
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: to get him into this position. And now Hassan Reddick

307
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: could play hardball with him, no question. Maybe he didn't.

308
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: Maybe he told him that and maybe says he's not

309
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: giving me. He says, all think about coming in or whatever.

310
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: Everything thought about it and didn't. Whatever. If you're Hassan Reddick,

311
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: you're you're risking the fourteen point four or so that

312
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: you're making this year, if you're gonna hold out, plus

313
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: a lot of fine money that he's not that he's paying.

314
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: He's got to he's he's got to be willing to

315
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: do that. That's a hard ask. And if he does, hey,

316
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: bless his heart. Man, he's making a point.

317
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 2: He's clearly dug in here. But the Jets are the

318
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 2: one kind of holding the cards because they're not losing

319
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 2: money every day. That's right, You're not gonna have the player.

320
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 2: But he can only push this so far. Like week

321
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 2: ten or eleven now is probably the cutoff because you

322
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 2: need at least six games played to get in a

323
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 2: crude season, right, So if he wants an a crude season

324
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 2: for his pension and everything else, when he's done playing,

325
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 2: he's gonna have to show up at some point, might

326
00:18:59,080 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 2: not be till November.

327
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: If he doesn't show up, does the contract.

328
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: That's a good question, because I'm sure they, I think,

329
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 2: because if he doesn't reserve, did not report.

330
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, if if, if he doesn't show up at all, however,

331
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: the contract's still enforced for the next time he sets

332
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: foot on the field. It's the same deal. So he'll

333
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: at some point it'll behoove him to show up and

334
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: hold in instead of hold out, which might have been

335
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: a better move to begin with.

336
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, because that's what Matthew Judon's doing in New England,

337
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 2: and teams are calling the New England Patriots about him.

338
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 2: Left right in the center saying, uh, is that does

339
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 2: that guy want to go somewhere else?

340
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 4: Right? Uh?

341
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 2: Because we see him arguing with girod Mayo on the

342
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 2: sidelines of practice. It looked too happy. I would be

343
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 2: happy to help you with that.

344
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 1: Was just had a today, is it?

345
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 2: Yes? His outline for preseason games.

346
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: If you join, if you're gonna have a joint practice,

347
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: he told his players. If you're a starter and you

348
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: get into a fight in one of these joint practices,

349
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: you will play the entirety of that preseason game. If

350
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: you're not a starter, you won't play at all.

351
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. For fighting, Yes, If you fight at the joint

352
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 2: practice and you're you're a non starter, you don't play

353
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 2: it all. If you are a starter and you fight,

354
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 2: you play the whole preseason game. I gotta tell you.

355
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 2: If you're in a position battle though, there's a strategy

356
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 2: you can employ.

357
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 5: Here.

358
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 2: Let's think about this. Let's just say you've got a

359
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 2: guy on the Patriots who has been a long time starter.

360
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 2: Let's just say Kendrick Bourne. It's coming off a major

361
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 2: knee injury and he's fighting a young player for like

362
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 2: a roster spot. Right, do you get in a fight

363
00:20:55,200 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 2: so you play the whole game and that guy doesn't. Yeah,

364
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, maybe bold strategy cotton see.

365
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: How it plays out. Maybe, Yeah, what if you're what

366
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: if you're in a fifty to fifty battle and you say,

367
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: listen that guy you know, yeah, that's yeah, that's tough.

368
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 2: You're the running back, you're the number two running back,

369
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 2: the number three running backs breathing down your neck. Well

370
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 2: you're not a starter, I guess, so that wouldn't apply there. Yeah,

371
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 2: I don't know. I wonder if there's some strategy employed

372
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 2: by some of these Patriots players.

373
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: Or you could or you could get if you got

374
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: your what are your homeboys on the other squad say hey,

375
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: pick a fight with my boy.

376
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, do me a favor. Just start hauling off

377
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 2: on him. Yeah, so he doesn't play at all. You

378
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 2: could do it. Don't think that hasn't been thought about.

379
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 3: That.

380
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: Let me say that a little nefarious. Yeah, that's a

381
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: little New Yorker e to me. But that's got it.

382
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 1: You've seen, I've heard the league is full of stories

383
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: of that ILK.

384
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 2: Had.

385
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: There was a guy. There was a story where guys

386
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: used to have a pizza. You know, they got a

387
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: guy who's they're in competition with, who struggles with his weight.

388
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: They send a pizza to his room every night at

389
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: training camp. Just pay pay for the pizza to be delivered.

390
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: There you go, bro.

391
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:27,479
Speaker 2: Enjoy Yeah uh AFC East News Dolphins are releasing veteran

392
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 2: defensive tackle to your Tart. He was a free agent

393
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 2: signing in the offseason as they tried to fill the

394
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 2: void left by Christian Wilkins. They signed about six defensive tackles.

395
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 2: Tart is a good player, but he does have a

396
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 2: reputation around the league of not being a great teammate

397
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 2: and not being very coachable. So you wonder if those

398
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 2: character issues cropped up here as he has been released

399
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 2: by the Dolphins, because he's certainly a capable player allent wise,

400
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 2: some other stuff may have gotten in the way there. Vikings'

401
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 2: first round draft choice quarterback J. J. McCarthy has a

402
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 2: torn meniscus in his knee. It's going to require surgery,

403
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 2: and it's looking more and more like Sam Darnold, the

404
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 2: third pick in the twenty eighteen NFL Draft, is going

405
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,239
Speaker 2: to be the starting quarterback for your Minnesota Vikings in

406
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 2: Week one.

407
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: Well, good luck, Sam, that's it's really interesting. That's too

408
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: bad for JJ McCarthy too. That's you know, a guy,

409
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: you want to see him at least have a shot

410
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: at competing. And he had the report I read said

411
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 1: he felt it during the game and he didn't feel

412
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: like it was that big a deal. And then it

413
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: didn't go away. So he goes to the trainers and

414
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden he's under the knife. He's going

415
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: to go in. Depending on the severity of the tear,

416
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: can be as little is four weeks and as much

417
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: as obviously could miss the entire season. I doubt that'll

418
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: be the release.

419
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 2: It could be the whole season for a tournament.

420
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: I doubt that is the case. That's the worst case

421
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: scenario if he has complications. But we're the least it

422
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 1: can be is four weeks.

423
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 2: Well, we're less than four weeks from the opener. I

424
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 2: mean we're twenty six days away, so he's probably missing

425
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:19,719
Speaker 2: the opener.

426
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's just I mean, you talk, that's minimum

427
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: for to being back on the field, because if if

428
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: it's the four week thing, you think he's a couple

429
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 1: of weeks off his feet. Then he gets back on,

430
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: he gets back and gets sharp again, starts practicing again.

431
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: You know that's after that. Yeah, you know, so it'll

432
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 1: be probably ten days to two weeks after surgery that

433
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: he can even do anything. Two weeks after that's in

434
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 1: the best case scenario. But if it's worse and the

435
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: terror is more significant than they suspected, Yeah, then it's

436
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: could be longer. Take a guess.

437
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,719
Speaker 2: So that is around the NFL brought to you by

438
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 2: Colida Health, official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills. Topic

439
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 2: of discussion for you today deals with Buffalo's preseason game

440
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 2: number two. What has to change for the Bills going

441
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 2: into preseason game number two on Saturday against the Steelers.

442
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 2: You let us know at aight oh three oh five

443
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 2: fifty won eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty

444
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 2: the numbers to get on board. I guess this would

445
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 2: be your top priority. Got to clean that up list

446
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 2: basically from last week's game. So you let us know.

447
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 2: Got open lines for you? Aight oh three oh five

448
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 2: fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty

449
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 2: the toll free calling number if you're outside the Buffalo

450
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 2: seven to one to six calling area.

451
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, what are your thoughts off the top of your head?

452
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, you wrapped up this game yesterday

453
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: and you did the game and you were like me,

454
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: I was doing the game on TV and it was like, whoof, Yeah,

455
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: I think they.

456
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 2: I think the offensive line has to get some traction

457
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 2: in the run game. Again, I did get the sense

458
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 2: that the Bears coaching staff had done a little game planning.

459
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 2: It felt that way to me. I understand on offense,

460
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 2: you're trying to make Caleb Williams comfortable, give them a

461
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 2: little confidence, maybe a bootleg him out, and you actually

462
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 2: have some stuff installed as part of a mini game

463
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 2: plan perhaps, But the run game, granted, they were going

464
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 2: against the number one run defense in football last year,

465
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 2: that's what the Bears had, and they're larger than the

466
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 2: same in their front seven. But I think the run

467
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 2: game has to get some better push off the line

468
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 2: because they did not win the battle at the line

469
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 2: of scrimmage at all, right, And I think they've got

470
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 2: to open up some more consistent holes in the run game.

471
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 2: To me, that's what has to change first and foremost,

472
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 2: because when that was not working, I mean it was

473
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 2: long down and distance almost every second and third down

474
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 2: the game.

475
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: Yeah they Yeah, it was the big guys up front

476
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball, offense and defense. The Bears

477
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: played really well up front. The Bills did not, And

478
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 1: that was their ripple effect. Was was evident, I thought too,

479
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: and I and I talked to some of the guys

480
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 1: this yesterday at Jim's tournaments, some of the old guys

481
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: about the mindset coming back off of a run where

482
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: you've been playoff year, when the when the division playoffs,

483
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: win the division again playoffs. You won the division a

484
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: third time in its playoffs, Now you want it a

485
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: fourth time. You're still you know, you're still winning a

486
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: playoff game every year getting there, and then to come

487
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: back and try and dredge up some passion for a

488
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: meaningless preseason game where you know you're only going to

489
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: play part of it. That showed to me that's kind

490
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: of where I felt like they were at LA. There

491
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: was no urgency in it because they just they're a

492
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 1: team like that the one I saw on Saturday as

493
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: a team that's like, man, I do not want to

494
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,239
Speaker 1: play in these meaningless games. And when you when you

495
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: don't want to play, it shows. And it did show,

496
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 1: I thought, probably on Saturday, and this sport, it does,

497
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: And I and so I thought I saw some guys.

498
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 1: And let's face it, it starts from the top players on

499
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball and trickles down. They know

500
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: they're not gonna play very much. They know they're not

501
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: gonna be asked to do too much. The minute anything

502
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 1: goes against them, they're gonna be jerked out of the game.

503
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: They're not gonna get a chance to win the game

504
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: when they you know, in the first quarter there is

505
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 1: you know, they're gonna have to watch all these other guys.

506
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: So those guys probably came out and said, man, I'm

507
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 1: just get this, get me out of here, you know.

508
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: And I remember vividly thinking a lot like that when

509
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: we were on a team that was going to the

510
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: playoffs every year and going to the actually going to

511
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl every year. You come out there in

512
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: the preseason, you're going zero to four and you do

513
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: not care. Yeah, and as bad as it is for

514
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: the fans to witness that and all the question marks

515
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: that arises, you're just not getting those guys to do it.

516
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 2: Now. I don't know.

517
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: Maybe Sean McDermott will have, you know, a different plan,

518
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: and he'll talk to those guys and they'll say Okay,

519
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: let's let's show up here today and then they might

520
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: but there's I'm not gonna play right.

521
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. I wonder if I think what happened on Saturday

522
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 2: could impact the original plans maybe as to how much

523
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 2: people are playing.

524
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: It depends not playing, and it depends on how accurate

525
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: I am. I could be off base.

526
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 2: And how Thursday looks could have an impact on Saturday too.

527
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: It could be I could be completely out of line

528
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: and not not know what I'm talking about. But if

529
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: you're Sean McDermott, what he sees and the and the

530
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: reasons he attributes to the the way the game went Saturday,

531
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: are gonna say a lot about what happens. Not really

532
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: maybe not so much on Saturday this week or on

533
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: Thursday this week against Steelers, but certainly yesterday, today and

534
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: tomorrow and Thursday when you do go in against the Steelers.

535
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's affects him. Now. I

536
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: don't know that the big plan is affected all too much.

537
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: He'll just kind of kind of wait and see he'll

538
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: get another chance to rebound and show something. But man,

539
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: oh man, you're right, this is something that makes you thinking, Okay,

540
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: we got to watch this now.

541
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here, but when we come back,

542
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 2: we go to your phone calls at eight oh three

543
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 2: oh five fifty one, eight and eight five fifty two,

544
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 2: five point fifty. That's the numbers. Those are the numbers

545
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 2: to get on board. Got open lines for you there.

546
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 2: We'll lead off with Mike in Eerie when we return

547
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 2: here on One Bill's Live, presented by co Lot of Health,

548
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:44,959
Speaker 2: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, welcome back to One

549
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 2: Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you here on

550
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 2: a Tuesday where we are asking you what has to

551
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 2: change for the Bills going into preseason game number two

552
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 2: on Saturday against the Steelers. Steelers, in case you didn't know,

553
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 2: they lost their preseason open as well to Houston by

554
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 2: a final of twenty to twelve last Friday. But let's

555
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 2: go to the phones where we do have open lines

556
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 2: for you at eight h three oh five fifty one

557
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 2: eighty eight five fifty two five fifty And to Mike

558
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 2: in Eerie, what's up? Mike?

559
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 6: Yes, I had a question for Steve about the new

560
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 6: kickoff format. Sure, okay, uh, what if this new kickoff

561
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 6: format was in place back in nineteen ninety nine. Would

562
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 6: it have been possible for Tennessee to run the Music

563
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 6: City Miracle play? It just looks like there's no room

564
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 6: now for trick plays.

565
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:43,719
Speaker 2: Uh.

566
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, they could have tried it a punt, it knows it. No,

567
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: it was a kickoff. It was Yeah, the bill was

568
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: Rob Johnson just went in the Indians on the that's right,

569
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: Yes they could run it. And I would imagine there's

570
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: been a lot of conjecture by even by people who

571
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: might sit next to me at this radio show, that

572
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: you're going to see a lot, a lot of misdirection.

573
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:10,719
Speaker 1: Maybe you might see some throwback stuff, might see some

574
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: throwback stuff put in week one when when the gloves

575
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: are off, when it really does count. I think right

576
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: now it is as vanilla as the offenses and defense

577
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I don't think of trying anything. You

578
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: haven't seen stunts. You haven't seen scissors moves. You haven't

579
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: seen where guys will cross over on their coverage lanes.

580
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: You haven't seen the coverage team try and confuse the

581
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: return team with where guys are going to be. You

582
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: haven't seen trap blocks or cross blocks from the front

583
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: line of the kicking return kick return team. It's been

584
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: very vanilla so far, and I think you're going to

585
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: see a lot more of more complexity in the return

586
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,479
Speaker 1: game coming up. Yes. The answer though, is yes, they

587
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: could have done, and I think you can when you

588
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: see this go, you'll be able to see easily that

589
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: there's a space for that to happen in this new

590
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: kickoff rule. But we haven't seen it yet.

591
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 2: I I like the idea of misdirection because you're so

592
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 2: close together. I think there will be some of that,

593
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,959
Speaker 2: at least attempted. Will it be successful, I don't know,

594
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 2: but it's possible. Anything under the sun is fair game,

595
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 2: and that's why nobody's showing any of it yet, because

596
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 2: if they feel they have a play that they like

597
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 2: that can take advantage of the situation, they're going to

598
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 2: wait to use it in a game that actually counts

599
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,479
Speaker 2: if it's gonna help them win a football game. Right.

600
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 2: They're not showing that in week two of the preseason.

601
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 2: He kidding me, No way, Jose, They're not doing that.

602
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 2: Eight oh three oh five point fifty one eight eight

603
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 2: five fifty two five fifty then number to get on board.

604
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 2: What has to change for the Bills going into preseason

605
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 2: game number two, What is at the top of your

606
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 2: priority list that you want to see and feel better

607
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 2: about when the Bills take on the Steelers at Akrasure

608
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:04,959
Speaker 2: Stadium in downtown Pittsburgh. There is an update from NFL

609
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 2: Networks Ian Rappaport about Brandon Ayuk. He of the trade

610
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 2: conversation for what amounts to over a week now still

611
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 2: hasn't happened. He says the Steelers and forty nine Ers

612
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 2: have a deal on a potential trade and Pittsburgh is

613
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 2: in a good place on an Ayuk contract, so a

614
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:27,240
Speaker 2: new contract has largely been hammered out too with Pittsburgh.

615
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 2: If San Francisco gives the final sign off, it's done.

616
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 2: Sanfran has an offer out to Ayuk on a long

617
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 2: term deal for him to stay, but he has not

618
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 2: accepted that. So clearly it's not enough money.

619
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's I'll say this, guys more and we and

620
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: this is the time of year for this to be

621
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: the conversation. So maybe I'm just more aware of it

622
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: and we talk about it every day. So it just

623
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: seems to me there are more guys out there willing

624
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: to play hardball with the club. Back it used to

625
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: you never used to hear guys doing this and they

626
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: you know, the money wasn't what it is today, although

627
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:10,240
Speaker 1: commensurately speaking, it wasn't. It wasn't bad money. But that's

628
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: the only leverage a player has is to withhold his services.

629
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: The hold in is the interesting aspect of this for me.

630
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: I don't know why guys would hold out rather than

631
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,240
Speaker 1: hold in because it's cost him a ton of money

632
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: in the meantime and the club has no recourse. Then

633
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: they got to pay them. They have to pay au.

634
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: What is how much is it for this?

635
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 2: Yeah?

636
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like fourteen isn't it. It's seventeen million. As

637
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: a player, I'm not walking off with that because that's

638
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 1: a year of your salary that you negotiate, and already

639
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: it was a big contract when you signed it. The

640
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: first time, I stand I stay in there, hold in

641
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 1: and yeah it's awkward, yeah, no fun. But you got

642
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 1: to do that same thing with Hassan Reddick. Holding out

643
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 1: is not the smart thing to do.

644
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 2: Is holding in? I don't know, I I it's Tuesday,

645
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 2: it's Tuesday today. Obviously do we see Ayuk in Pittsburgh

646
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 2: on Saturday not playing? But do we see him there

647
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 2: with the team on Saturday.

648
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: What do you think, Well, this is this would be

649
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 1: the best time for Ayuk because he gets the new

650
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: deal and they get enough time in the preseason to

651
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: get him acclimated and on day one he's your guy.

652
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: You the longer you wait, now you're starting to talk about, well,

653
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: now we're gonna have to really cram these last week

654
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: of the regulars of the preseason to see we can

655
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: get him some reps and some practice, and we don't

656
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: know how it's gonna go. And then you're playing catchup.

657
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: But now it's the perfect time. But like I said,

658
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 1: you're getting you gotta unlike the Jets who trade for

659
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 1: the guy, no one he wants a new deal, don't

660
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: want to pay him the new deal. You give up

661
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: a third rounder. Now you don't have the guy or

662
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: the third rounder, or you're the guy that you could

663
00:36:55,960 --> 00:37:00,040
Speaker 1: have signed. Yeah, the Niners don't want the Steelers. You

664
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 1: don't want to give some draft picks for Ayuk and

665
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: then pay him the thirty million dollars and then expect

666
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: the guy to be good enough right out of the box.

667
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: With Russ Wilson and Justin Fields at quarterback to justify

668
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: a thirty million dollar plus a year contract. That's a

669
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 1: big ask. That is a huge ask. You think Brandon

670
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: Ayuk is gonna play good enough right out of the

671
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 1: wrapper in Pittsburgh with Russ and Justin Fields at quarterback

672
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: to justify like the Steph Diggs trade, A one to

673
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: four and a seven.

674
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,760
Speaker 2: A one to four of five and a six, one four.

675
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: Five, six and thirty million bucks a year. Man, I

676
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: don't see it.

677
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 2: It's steep. I mean, Pittsburgh's only about fourteen and a

678
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 2: half under the cap, and we have to remember that

679
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 2: this cap room right now is only based on the

680
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 2: top fifty one salaries. Once you get to the regular season,

681
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 2: they all count, including the active squad, so it's kind

682
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 2: of a fictitious number. They don't have fourteen and a half,

683
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 2: They probably have more like seven. So they're gonna have

684
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 2: to get pretty creative, Yeah, taking on Ayuk, And that's

685
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 2: why I believe somebody else will be going the other way,

686
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 2: because you're gonna need some dollars out for all the

687
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 2: dollars that are gonna be coming.

688
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: In massive deals, massive dollars out right, I mean, as

689
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: you know, not just so that that's the that's the

690
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:29,439
Speaker 1: to me, that's the hiccup in the Ayuk problem. It's

691
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: not it's not necessarily the Niners, although you know, obviously

692
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 1: they've got their own they've got their own you know, problems,

693
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: their own issues with it. But it's the Steelers coughing up.

694
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: You know, they're they're picking up some good drafting.

695
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 2: They seem to have a problem with it. They're in

696
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 2: they're in waiting see mode right now.

697
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: I mean you're talking about listen, if they were going

698
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: to get money out for money in. They only have

699
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: a couple of guys on their on their team that

700
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: have cap hits like that.

701
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 2: A lot of their frontline starters are on their rookie deals, Pickings, Fryarmouth,

702
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 2: Naji Harris, you know, yeah, I mean even fields, even

703
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 2: fields and Russell Wilson aren't making three point two.

704
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: Yeah there, But you're talking about Naji Harris is four

705
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: point one, Landon, Robert Peanuts is four point five, Chris

706
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: Boswell's four point seven, Nate Herbig's five point five. I'm

707
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 1: going up the list.

708
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 2: It's TJ. Watt and everybody else. I mean, that's really

709
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 2: what it is.

710
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: Well, it was a couple of guys TJ's thirty, Cameron

711
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: Hayward's twenty two, Minka Fitzpatrick's twenty one, Larry Ogan Joby

712
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: is thirteen to two, James Daniels is eleven, Isaac Seamalo

713
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: ten point one. They so those are guys, like, I mean,

714
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: throw those guys overboard or trade him to San fran.

715
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know they're doing that.

716
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 1: Ogan Joby's a defensive end making thirteen. He might not

717
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 1: be able to get on the field in San Francisco.

718
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, So you're not paying a guy three team that

719
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 2: can't get on.

720
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: The field, not with that crew in San Francisco. They're

721
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: neck deep in dudes.

722
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:10,439
Speaker 2: And big salaries. Yeah. So yeah, we'll see, we'll see

723
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 2: what comes of it. It's a puzzle, it is, and

724
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,439
Speaker 2: I don't know that they've got all the pieces. Let's

725
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 2: get back to the phones though, as we're talking about

726
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,919
Speaker 2: what you need to see in Buffalo's second preseason game

727
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 2: that you did not see in the preseason opener. It's

728
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 2: a gym in Florida. Next, what do you got for us?

729
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 7: Jim? Oh, Hello, do they I've got one thing that

730
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 7: I've bothered me over the even last year during the

731
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,919
Speaker 7: games was that we are very predictable, especially in the run.

732
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 7: I was looking at the game this last weekend, and

733
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 7: five times in a row we ran on first down

734
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 7: and the total yard on average less than one yard.

735
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:04,240
Speaker 7: I think that lots of times. That's because we're so obvious.

736
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 7: If I was coaching against the Bills, I know right

737
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 7: away every first down, get up there of the line

738
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 7: and let's tackle.

739
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 1: Well, I'll say this and Jim and You're probably right

740
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: about the Chicago game this last week. And one of

741
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: the reasons for that is they don't really expect I mean,

742
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: they're not trying to fool the Bears, right, So this

743
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,240
Speaker 1: game planning, to the stuff you hear about game planning

744
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: and everything is probably one reason for that. Now, last year,

745
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: you can say what you want about when Joe Brady

746
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: took over and they started running the football and they

747
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: ran it on every first down and all of that,

748
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: but you're going to have a hard time selling that

749
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: is a problem when they went six and oh down

750
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: the stretch or five and oh down the stretch, six

751
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,760
Speaker 1: and one down the stretch with Joe Brady and running

752
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: the ball like that. So they may be predictable, but

753
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: you still got to stop them, and teams were struggling

754
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: to do that. The run game was extremely affect dip

755
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: down the stretch last year. So yeah, uh, I get

756
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: what you're saying, particularly in the Chicago game last week,

757
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: but as a general problem, like even in last year,

758
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:13,839
Speaker 1: you have to convince me of that.

759
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, we do know under Joe Brady they

760
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 2: were they were fifty two percent run team. But I

761
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 2: do remember a few games mixed in here and there

762
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 2: over those last seven where they made a point to

763
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 2: go against any tendency of running on first down and

764
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 2: they were throwing it. There was like a game or

765
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 2: two mixed in there to break tendency. But I get

766
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 2: what you're saying, we're up against the break here. But

767
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 2: when we come back, Mark and West Seneca elite us off.

768
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 2: What do you need to see in preseason game number

769
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 2: two for the Bills on Saturday against the Steelers, And

770
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,360

00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 2: oh three oh five fifty and go to Mark and

799
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 2: West Seneca. What do you got for his Mark?

800
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 8: Hey, Chris, sy Steve, how are you today? Good? Good?

801
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 8: Always good to hear it? I got a couple of things.

802
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 8: As far as your question, Uh, it's obvious. The compete

803
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 8: level it was really concerning. I haven't seen a Bills

804
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,760
Speaker 8: team compete like that in a preseason in quite a while.

805
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 8: And in preseason games where everything's vanilla, you're not scheming

806
00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 8: anything and all that you know, McDermott's teams come out

807
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 8: and they understand you want to make a team, you

808
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 8: got to compete, and it just wasn't there on any level, first, second,

809
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 8: third stringers at all. And I'm a little concerned and

810
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 8: maybe in talk me off to Lodge about we've had

811
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 8: such a turnover on the roster, is this an indication

812
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 8: that maybe we have taken a little bit of a

813
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 8: step back and overall talent in our second and third

814
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 8: liners that we haven't seen in quite a while, because

815
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 8: we've been pretty good and we've really competed hard for

816
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 8: several years under McDermott. So that's one of my questions.

817
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 8: And the other question I had. I wasn't at the game,

818
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 8: but I was a little taken back by seeing us

819
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 8: kick the ball into the end zone twice. Now, Smiley

820
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 8: is going to have to go a long way for

821
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 8: me to like him again after the season our special

822
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 8: teams put in last year, And I'm sitting watching the

823
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 8: game and I'm thinking, you know, we're at the base

824
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 8: level of this new kickoff thing. Who cares if the

825
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,080
Speaker 8: ball is taken back for a touchdown? You have to

826
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 8: find out even the basics of the guys you're putting

827
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 8: out there, if they can understand leverage and proper body

828
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 8: positioning depending on where the balls get before you can

829
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 8: even start thinking about scheming plays and how to attack

830
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 8: or even how to return. And was that a product

831
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 8: of the ball being caught up in that wind that

832
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 8: was out there on Saturday or did we just literally

833
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 8: kick the ball into the end zone and basically take

834
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 8: a couple reps away that we desperately need. So that

835
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 8: those are my things that I had taken away from

836
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 8: the game. Thanks guys, sure, I do know.

837
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 2: There was one kick that got away from Bass with

838
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 2: the wind that is back and it went into the

839
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 2: end zone and that was not the intention. He put

840
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 2: it up in the air, the wind took it and

841
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 2: that was the end of it.

842
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm with you. You don't want to do that.

843
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 1: You want to even put the ball in play. In fact,

844
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: that's why the league has incentivized the rules for both teams.

845
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: You got to kick it in the field to play.

846
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: If you kick it in the end zone and it

847
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 1: bounces out of the end zone, which it usually does,

848
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: you know, they get the ball all the way out

849
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: at the was it the forty or something? Right, is

850
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: the thirty? They get the ball of the thirty if

851
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 1: the ball kicks through the end zone and if the

852
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 1: receiving team goes back there and downs it. They only

853
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 1: get it at the twenty. So they incentivize the kicking

854
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 1: team bringing it out, and they penalize the kicking team

855
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: for kicking it out of the end zone. So for

856
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,839
Speaker 1: not bringing it out, I'm sorry for the return team.

857
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 1: They incentivized it for them to bring the ball out

858
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 1: of the end zone and to kick it out of

859
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:40,320
Speaker 1: the end zone in a preseason game. I think that

860
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: was a mistake, no question about it. And I think

861
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: and one of them did get away from bass and

862
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 1: we didn't realize how bad the wind was out there

863
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: until it's whipping, until you know, part way through the

864
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: first quarter. In midway through the second, we were like,

865
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: oh we could We couldn't figure out why the problem,

866
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 1: what the problem was. It was like, oh, you look

867
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 1: at the flags, they're like and straight up, I mean

868
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: literally they're like going up the flag pole, off the

869
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: end of the pole. So it was a bad day out.

870
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 1: So that did have some effect on it. I'm with

871
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 1: you though. The depth, the depth of the talent, well

872
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 1: that remains to be seen. I like where they're I

873
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,319
Speaker 1: like the guys they've got. There's no question they made

874
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 1: a concerted effort to beef up the second The athleticism

875
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 1: and youth of the starters, no question about it.

876
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 2: So it's more inexperienced. You can stamp that on this team.

877
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 1: Right, it is less experienced, particularly on this team. Now

878
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: they've got some Bacond guys to bring in the second

879
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:39,800
Speaker 1: team guys. You can make it a case that some

880
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: of them will come in with some experience, but not

881
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: in this system. That to me may be true, but

882
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: that doesn't scare me because of what I've been talking

883
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 1: about with you know, the strength of Sean McDermott and

884
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: the way this coaching staff has been in his tenure here.

885
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 1: They are the best player development staff we've ever seen

886
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. I mean, you get guys in here, they

887
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 1: get better. So the key to this season for me

888
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,439
Speaker 1: is gonna be if they can find ways to win

889
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:12,720
Speaker 1: games early in the year, because I think they're gonna

890
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 1: be better and better and better by the end of

891
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 1: the season. Now hopefully, you know, you got to stay

892
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 1: healthy and all that, But by the end of the season,

893
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 1: if everybody is staying healthy, I think this has a

894
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: chance to be a really talented team and a really

895
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 1: tough out. So I think early on in the adjustment period,

896
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 1: when you know you're finally doing it for real, I

897
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: think there are some question marks that we haven't seen

898
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 1: the certainly haven't seen the answers to yet in the preseason.

899
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 2: The team is definitely less experienced behind the starters. I

900
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 2: don't think there's any debate about that whatsoever. Because you're

901
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 2: talking about Cole Bishop potentially being a second team player.

902
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:52,760
Speaker 2: Dorian Williams is a second team player. You're talking about

903
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 2: on the offensive line, Cedric Van Prian, Grainger, Alec Anderson.

904
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 2: I mean, these guys are probably on the roster. Richard

905
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,880
Speaker 2: gag might make a run at it and play a

906
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 2: regular season game in the league. You're younger, You're gonna

907
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 2: be less experienced, and if you have to turn to

908
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 2: those guys, you have to take it with a grain

909
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 2: of salt. They're not gonna be perfect just due to

910
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 2: a lack of experience. Sometimes the best lessons are the

911
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 2: one learned in hard fashion, and there might be some

912
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 2: hard lessons ahead of some of those guys if they

913
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 2: have to step in and play. So yes, but this

914
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 2: is the depth of the team is talented, but it

915
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:30,959
Speaker 2: is unquestionably more inexperienced.

916
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: That's right, And that's kind of where we're sitting. And

917
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 1: certainly it's hard to be encouraged by the way the

918
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 1: game turned out on Saturday, but there are some you know,

919
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 1: there's always these preseason caveats that you gotta throw in.

920
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:50,839
Speaker 1: They didn't game plan, The starters knew they were coming out,

921
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 1: and like I said earlier in the show, when you

922
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 1: got a team like the Bills, who are in it

923
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 1: every year, and in the conversation, you got a guy

924
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 1: that's in the MVP conversation every year. You got an

925
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: offensive line that never missed a snap together last year,

926
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:06,359
Speaker 1: and they're playing in all these big games, and they

927
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,280
Speaker 1: did for two months at the end of the season

928
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 1: last year, and then they roll out here and it's like,

929
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 1: this means what they look like they did on Saturday,

930
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 1: it's just and it doesn't mean. It doesn't mean their

931
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 1: excuse it's an excuse, doesn't mean they can use it

932
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:24,879
Speaker 1: as an excuse. It's their job to show up ready

933
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 1: to play. But man, oh man, I get it. But

934
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 1: you know that's enough. You know, let's let you. You

935
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: need to turn it on now and say, Okay, you've

936
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 1: looked like that. You better have some pride, bounce back.

937
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 2: Got to take a break here. Our number two coming

938
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 2: your way. We will take more of your phone calls.

939
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 2: We're also going to check in with what Josh Allen

940
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:50,360
Speaker 2: had to say after practice today he addressed the media.

941
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 2: We'll bring those comments to you as well in our

942
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 2: number two coming up next year on One Bill's Live,

943
00:51:54,719 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 2: presented by Colida of Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

944
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:44,919
Speaker 1: This this One Bill's Live, presented by Calllida Health.

945
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 2: All right, here we are our number two on a Tuesday.

946
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:49,880
Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you. One Bill's Live is

947
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:53,280
Speaker 2: the show. And uh for one of our callers earlier

948
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 2: who said they looked too predictable on first down. Just

949
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:58,759
Speaker 2: for the record, last year, because I looked it up

950
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 2: during the break, Bills were fifty three percent run on

951
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:08,359
Speaker 2: first down. Last year forty seven percent pass. So take

952
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 2: it for what it's worth, but pretty balanced. Yeah, on

953
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 2: first down. I would like to see it. If it

954
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:15,799
Speaker 2: was when Joe Brady had had the offense, I can

955
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:18,359
Speaker 2: do that. Let's see what that is, because that's when

956
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 2: that might take me a minute.

957
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 1: But even so, if it's more run heavy on first

958
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 1: down when Joe Brady took over, who cares the guy

959
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: went six and one down the stretch when they had

960
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 1: to win and lost overtime in a rainstorm in Philly.

961
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 1: I mean they were they were getting it done, so

962
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: hopefully you almost wish. Yeah, they are predictable, and they

963
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 1: were still rubbing their faces, rubbing their opponents' faces in it.

964
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 2: I can I can compartmentalize that for you. I'll get

965
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 2: those numbers in a second.

966
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,759
Speaker 1: That's what I want, you know, you know what I mean, yep,

967
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 1: Because if you're predictable and you're still going six and

968
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 1: one down the stretch, that's like arrogant, right a little bit. Yeah, yeah, here, here's.

969
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 2: What I'm gonna do.

970
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 1: Right, I'm gonna run the ball right here and you're

971
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to stop me. We're gonna do

972
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 1: that every first down, Bruce Leave, I mean, that's that

973
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 1: should be like a vote of confidence.

974
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:24,359
Speaker 2: Goodness, gracious, Yeah, it's uh, it's gonna be higher, is it? Yeah?

975
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 2: Right now?

976
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:27,480
Speaker 4: Public?

977
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 1: But that's it. But I get.

978
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:34,439
Speaker 2: Sixty Hey, run on first down two thirds of the time.

979
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: They ran on first down down the stretch last year

980
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,840
Speaker 1: as an our call, let's not him from Florida called

981
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:43,800
Speaker 1: in and said they went six and one.

982
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 2: And I think they were there. They were a top

983
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 2: five rushing offense in the NFL over those last seven weeks.

984
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 2: And I think we also have to remember the Dallas

985
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 2: game screwed skewed the numbers. The numbers skewed the numbers considerably,

986
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 2: as they ran it over forty times in that game total,

987
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 2: so that that was so take it with a grain

988
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:09,839
Speaker 2: of salt. I gotta say that, but it's probably a legit.

989
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:11,479
Speaker 2: Sixty forty you know.

990
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:15,360
Speaker 1: That's a legit flex to me running the ball forty

991
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 1: times on a on another.

992
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 2: In Ryan stop us, that's a flex. Yeah. Uh, we

993
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 2: got to get to the comments from one Josh Allen,

994
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 2: he addressed he addressed the media after practice today, A

995
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:30,320
Speaker 2: long practice out there on the grass field, over two hours,

996
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 2: maybe in part because there's a travel day tomorrow. But

997
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 2: Josh has a new guy in the quarterback room in

998
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 2: the form of Ben Denucci, who signed with the club.

999
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 2: So let's get the comments from Josh Allen as he

1000
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 2: addressed the media after practice today.

1001
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:47,840
Speaker 9: Now, I was excited. I wanted to keep going. I

1002
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 9: haven't been able to throw that much in a long time.

1003
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:55,359
Speaker 9: Got into a little root rhythm, a little groove. It's

1004
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 9: a That's what I love doing the most, throwing the football.

1005
00:55:57,520 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 9: So I got to do that a lot.

1006
00:55:58,239 --> 00:55:58,879
Speaker 4: Yeesh, it was cool.

1007
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:00,760
Speaker 9: Now there.

1008
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 2: What's the sense of.

1009
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:09,799
Speaker 10: Overall urgency? Keep him that? Sean talked about the team

1010
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 10: that playing up to it's the build standard time.

1011
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:14,319
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, we we have to have urgency in

1012
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 9: this building. That's no doubt about it. I think guys

1013
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 9: are our film that agency now just understanding, you know,

1014
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:23,719
Speaker 9: going back looking on film, and it wasn't all bad

1015
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 9: on film. Obviously the score is the score. It's preseason.

1016
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 9: But our standard shouldn't be conditioned by the result of

1017
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 9: what's going on. You know, we have to continue to

1018
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 9: uphold what we do and that's playoff caliber and that's

1019
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 9: what coach McDermott has taled to this building the last

1020
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 9: eight years that he's been here. And uh, you know,

1021
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 9: we have to uphold that. So it takes every single.

1022
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 4: One of us.

1023
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 9: And uh, you know, the leaders in our rooms are

1024
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 9: speaking up more and and you know we'll be ready

1025
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 9: to go to the next one.

1026
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 10: There's a lot of leadership with them. But how keeping

1027
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 10: the turn over leadership with the guys who aren't having

1028
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 10: their sis this culture was established such as you like,

1029
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 10: you lose guys like Toy or Jordan and Mico. How

1030
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 10: much might that be a byproduct or something that there's

1031
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 10: people here that aren't aware of the stander or weren't

1032
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:15,520
Speaker 10: there at the beginning.

1033
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:17,920
Speaker 9: I mean, I think you could say that you know,

1034
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 9: you don't know what you don't know and you know,

1035
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 9: it's gonna take guys that are gonna have to step

1036
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 9: up and fill those types of roles, and guys that

1037
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 9: may not even know it yet that just naturally transition

1038
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 9: to being a leader in their room. So again, I'm

1039
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 9: excited to see kind of who steps up in those

1040
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 9: spots and who can who can be a vocal guy

1041
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 9: in the offense and the defense and and you know,

1042
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 9: fill those roles. So it's it's an ongoing thing and

1043
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 9: each and every day guys are just trying to get

1044
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:44,439
Speaker 9: out here and work hard and work on their craft

1045
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 9: and be the best best versions of themselves that they

1046
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 9: can be.

1047
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 3: Ty Johnson back in the mix yesterday and today, what

1048
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 3: does that do for y'all as a team?

1049
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 4: That's awesome.

1050
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 9: Ty's great, you know on the field, it gives you

1051
00:57:55,760 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 9: that that extra burst. He's thick dude, so you know

1052
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:02,919
Speaker 9: when DB's come down to thud him and practice, they

1053
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:03,720
Speaker 9: feel a little bit.

1054
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 4: So it's good to be back.

1055
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 9: He's great for the room, he's great for the offense

1056
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 9: just in terms of personality.

1057
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 4: So love to see him back healthy.

1058
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 3: Guess jo I was gonna ask about the joint practice too,

1059
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 3: So just what are you looking to get out.

1060
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 1: Of it.

1061
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 4: Fighting with Kyle Allen, We're we're in a stage of fight.

1062
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 9: So oh no, I just again, it's different, different players

1063
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 9: that you're going against. You know, we know these guys.

1064
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 9: We've played them quite a few times the last few years.

1065
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 9: They've got one of the greatest coaches of all times,

1066
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 9: of all time, I should say, and some really special

1067
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:40,440
Speaker 9: players on defense. So again, that's that's good to go

1068
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 9: up and practice against them and kind of gauge and

1069
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 9: see where you're at.

1070
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:45,920
Speaker 4: And then you did it once. It's spark for with

1071
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 4: the Panthers. What do you remember most.

1072
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 11: About that joint practice, that session and how do you

1073
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 11: kind of use that.

1074
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 4: To help you guys as you prepare for that. I

1075
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 4: know it's a practice, so it's.

1076
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 9: Not like crazy, but no, again, just I think getting

1077
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 9: with some of the guys on their defense and just

1078
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 9: picking some you know, picking their brain. And I remember

1079
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 9: Luke Keikley being out there and you know, had him.

1080
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 4: I love Luke. That's that's my guy. And we got him.

1081
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 9: We fold him on one thing and he came up

1082
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:11,920
Speaker 9: to me. He's like, how do you like, what are

1083
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:12,640
Speaker 9: you doing there?

1084
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:12,760
Speaker 3: Like?

1085
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,720
Speaker 9: How am I supposed to guard? That and again him

1086
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 9: being able to ask me questions and but me importantly

1087
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 9: getting asked him questions. It's, you know, Luke Keigley one

1088
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 9: of the smartest football players of all time. So they

1089
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 9: got some guys on their their side that I feel

1090
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 9: like I'm familiar with that I can talk to and

1091
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 9: just kind of pick their brains.

1092
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 4: So I think that's a fun part about it.

1093
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 2: Right Stone w an NFC teams in the AFC team

1094
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 2: or is it? Or do you guys trade seeds that?

1095
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I think I don't believe we played

1096
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 9: them in the regular season, so until we get to

1097
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 9: the playoffs, that's it's the only opportunity we have, So

1098
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 9: I think we're more apt to share a little bit

1099
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 9: of secrets, especially against playing against some of their guys

1100
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:58,439
Speaker 9: and vice versa the other day.

1101
00:59:58,360 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 2: But one of them went to Curtis and they ended

1102
00:59:59,920 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 2: up to catch the later a match.

1103
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 11: I know we've talked a lot about his versatility and

1104
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 11: skill settle in the last couple of months, but even

1105
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 11: just in that one rap, what have you seen from

1106
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 11: him over the course of the last couple of months.

1107
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 9: And how do you think that can Yeah, I think

1108
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 9: it's a it's a different speed once it's game. And uh,

1109
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:17,040
Speaker 9: you know you failed him when he caught that that

1110
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:18,920
Speaker 9: ball and it was a quick little screen pass, but

1111
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 9: he was ten yards down the field in a heartbeat,

1112
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:25,600
Speaker 9: and we're gonna need a lot of that from him.

1113
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:30,000
Speaker 10: What were your impressions of ke On going up that cashes?

1114
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 4: I mean, that was an impressive grab. He had another

1115
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:32,919
Speaker 4: one today.

1116
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:34,800
Speaker 9: I don't know if you guys saw it, but he's

1117
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 9: in He's an unreal ability to go up and catch

1118
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 9: the ball at a high point and very good ball skills.

1119
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:42,120
Speaker 9: And you know, it's fun to play with a guy

1120
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 9: like that that you could just kind of close your

1121
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 9: eyes and throw it and expect that he's either going

1122
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 9: to go up. And you saw it during the game too.

1123
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 9: I know he got got undercutting and pulled a little

1124
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 9: bit on an in cut, but he did a good

1125
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 9: job of fighting through it and not letting the guy

1126
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 9: pick a ball off. So that that instills a lot

1127
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 9: of trust in quarterbacks talk.

1128
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 11: How do you get somebody up to speed to play

1129
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 11: a game in a couple of days when they literally

1130
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 11: just got here And I probably don't know much of.

1131
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:08,480
Speaker 4: What you guys do.

1132
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I think it's it's pretty tough, but

1133
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:15,760
Speaker 9: it's it's a lot on their part to be willing

1134
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 9: to learn and willing to study and spend some extra

1135
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 9: time going through the playbook and whatnot. And having a

1136
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 9: guy like Kyle Sherman, who I'm sorry that I didn't

1137
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 9: let him get any throws in practice yesterday and I

1138
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:30,400
Speaker 9: ruined his dream of making a comeback, So I would

1139
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:32,800
Speaker 9: like to publicly apologize first, but he's been doing a

1140
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:34,959
Speaker 9: good job of, you know, getting with getting with Ben.

1141
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 4: I know, we got a couple receivers.

1142
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 9: In the room, so again, just making sure that they're

1143
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 9: spending adequate time learning the stuff that we're gonna be

1144
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 9: calling throughout the game.

1145
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 4: About his competitive patron to have.

1146
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 3: For as much as you guys would love to win

1147
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:52,920
Speaker 3: in the preseason, the how is more important testing things.

1148
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 4: Out for you?

1149
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:56,400
Speaker 1: How to how do you balance your competitiveness and wanting

1150
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:58,919
Speaker 1: to go out there and have a leaking nine wanting

1151
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 1: in these games when he see of testing out of

1152
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:02,560
Speaker 1: things that you guys have can test out.

1153
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:05,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I think again, doing things the right

1154
01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 9: way is the most important thing. But understanding and keeping

1155
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:12,280
Speaker 9: the main thing the main thing, and that's waying football

1156
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:16,680
Speaker 9: games when they matter, and just understanding with the preseason's

1157
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 9: four you know, there's a lot of a lot of

1158
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 9: reps that we're trying to see if we can run

1159
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:25,600
Speaker 9: this play, going against different defenses and just seeing how

1160
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 9: we stack up to two different teams and whatnot. And

1161
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:35,320
Speaker 9: so I think it's just kind of just understanding what

1162
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 9: what we're trying to do.

1163
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:38,400
Speaker 2: The feeling.

1164
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:41,200
Speaker 11: Could you talk to Sean in the preseason game after

1165
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 11: the run?

1166
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 12: Was that like, yeah, he's definitely out.

1167
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 9: I mean, I slid and everything. I thought i'd I'd

1168
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 9: get a couple more reps. I wish I could have

1169
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 9: finished the drive, But I understand the reasoning.

1170
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:53,320
Speaker 1: Mind it first day with Ben, just what is that

1171
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:55,760
Speaker 1: they look like when you have an we're back joint

1172
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 1: the game, especially at this moment.

1173
01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:59,400
Speaker 9: There's a lot of questions. You know, he's been around

1174
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 9: the league long enough to know what's going on, and

1175
01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:05,880
Speaker 9: you know, I've only heard great things about him. I

1176
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 9: got a few texts from a few different people and

1177
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 9: just saying you're in a love Ben, and he's he's

1178
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:12,040
Speaker 9: fitting well in the quarterback room already with the you

1179
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 9: got here yesterday. So I'm happy to have him in

1180
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:17,320
Speaker 9: there and get to learn from him as well. And

1181
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 9: you know he can he can spin the ball, you

1182
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 9: throw it well.

1183
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:24,800
Speaker 7: Joe spoke about the communication with Data day in Spiking Zone.

1184
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 11: And one of the positive radio to say, in fact,

1185
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 11: there were no player games.

1186
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 4: From your perspective, college communications in center. It was great.

1187
01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 9: It was great, and it's only going to continue to

1188
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 9: get better. Obviously, we've got some reps on that from

1189
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 9: last year and getting the more reps that you can get,

1190
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 9: especially with live situations, and I know practice is a

1191
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:43,919
Speaker 9: different story. You know, we're breaking the huddle and there's

1192
01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 9: a fifteen second clock winding down, and you know it's

1193
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 9: they try to put as much pressure on us as possible,

1194
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 9: but it translates to the games and make sure that

1195
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 9: we're prepared for anything.

1196
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 2: That's pretty interesting that they run a fifteen second play

1197
01:03:57,440 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 2: clock and say go, because they're will invariably be instances

1198
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:05,520
Speaker 2: during the season where maybe a play gets in late,

1199
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:07,960
Speaker 2: break the huddle, late, at the line late, and you

1200
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 2: got to make it work because either a you don't

1201
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:12,240
Speaker 2: have any timeouts or b you don't want to burn one.

1202
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 1: I was noticing that today they start the play clock

1203
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 1: and it doesn't go to the twenty five play clock.

1204
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:19,479
Speaker 1: It goes to eighteen. And they start the eighteen play

1205
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 1: clock at a set moment when the either when the

1206
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 1: huddle breaks or when they're getting ready to go to

1207
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 1: the line, they start the the play clock is. They

1208
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:30,040
Speaker 1: don't just do that for no reason. They've got that

1209
01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:32,680
Speaker 1: thing set to the right time and they and it

1210
01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 1: gives the offense a sense of urgency, gives them, you know,

1211
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:39,760
Speaker 1: holds them accountable. Yeah, and uh. And it's also good

1212
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 1: for the other side of the ball as well, because

1213
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:44,320
Speaker 1: they've got things they do because of the timing of it.

1214
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 1: I'm you know, you've seen, you know one of the

1215
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 1: reasons that thing happens with NFL where the team that's

1216
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:57,440
Speaker 1: on defense, the quarterback always snaps the ball like a

1217
01:04:57,560 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 1: half second late after the ball after the play clock

1218
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 1: goes to double zeros. Aaron Rodgers is notorious for that.

1219
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:08,640
Speaker 1: They the reason they do that is to get as

1220
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 1: much to look at the defense and try and get

1221
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 1: the defense to show what they're gonna move to after

1222
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 1: the snap. And the defense needs the play clock so

1223
01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 1: that they can they know when the ball's gonna be.

1224
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 1: Snaps gotta be snapped. It has to be snapped then, right,

1225
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 1: so they can hold their water. And then once that

1226
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 1: play clock hits zero and the ball snapped, the defense

1227
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:37,640
Speaker 1: then moves to the real They disguise their defense, They

1228
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 1: move to the real spot they're gonna be, and the

1229
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:44,960
Speaker 1: offense they're stuck. They have to do every they can't

1230
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 1: get any more signals.

1231
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 2: The advantage flips to the defense.

1232
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:48,520
Speaker 1: That's right.

1233
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 2: They the ball has to be snapped.

1234
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 1: The ball has to be snapped. So the offense can't

1235
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 1: talk to each other anymore because they're playing.

1236
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 2: They can't.

1237
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 1: You can't hear it. Once the ball is snapped, and

1238
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:01,600
Speaker 1: the defense they knew it all along, you know. And

1239
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:04,240
Speaker 1: they're reactive side of the ball anyway, so it doesn't

1240
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:05,720
Speaker 1: matter what the offense is doing to them as long

1241
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 1: as they know wherever who's eligible and who's not. So

1242
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:12,160
Speaker 1: the play clock is is really as soon as the

1243
01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 1: ball is snap turns into a defensive weapon rather than

1244
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 1: an offensive weapon before the play clock runs out. So

1245
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 1: to work on all that during practice is crucial because

1246
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 1: it gets players used to it and they start to

1247
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:29,440
Speaker 1: understand how far they can go. Poyer and Hide were

1248
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 1: masters at that. They were masters at it. They knew

1249
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:35,520
Speaker 1: whoever it was that was playing quarterback was going to

1250
01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:38,440
Speaker 1: push it to the limit. So they just watched the

1251
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:40,360
Speaker 1: play clock and they got their hips turned and they're

1252
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:42,520
Speaker 1: starting to run to the deep path, and all of

1253
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 1: a sudden, the ball is snapped and Poyer is instead

1254
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:47,560
Speaker 1: of running to the deep path, he's up in the

1255
01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:52,200
Speaker 1: box stopping the run. That's a crusher for offenses having

1256
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:53,880
Speaker 1: guys they don't know where they're going to go. And

1257
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:56,120
Speaker 1: that's why quarterbacks push it and push it and push

1258
01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:58,480
Speaker 1: it and push it, because that gives them more information

1259
01:06:58,520 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 1: about what defense they're actually running the play against. Yeah,

1260
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:04,920
Speaker 1: I mean that's a lot as a convoluted way of

1261
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:09,760
Speaker 1: making a little simple a simple thought, but it's complicated.

1262
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:13,280
Speaker 2: Let's check out the tweet sheet to see what answers

1263
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 2: you have there on what has to change for the

1264
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 2: Bills going into preseason game number two. And tweet sheet

1265
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:22,520
Speaker 2: is brought to you by Corgan Moving Systems, the official

1266
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:26,000
Speaker 2: equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills, and Scott says,

1267
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:30,520
Speaker 2: establish the line of scrimmage on both sides. It will

1268
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:34,560
Speaker 2: give them better confidence doing it against the stout team

1269
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:36,440
Speaker 2: such as the Steelers.

1270
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:39,600
Speaker 1: Well The Bears are not not a stout team. They

1271
01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:41,840
Speaker 1: were a good run defensive team last year, so you

1272
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:43,240
Speaker 1: knew you were going to be up against it, at

1273
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 1: least on the offensive side of the football. Coming into

1274
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:47,800
Speaker 1: this game. The Bears feel like they're going to be

1275
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:50,960
Speaker 1: able to compete with anybody defensively, So there's a reason

1276
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:55,560
Speaker 1: for that. But I would agree wholeheartedly with Scott. That's

1277
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:58,840
Speaker 1: one of the things that got me about this last game,

1278
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:02,120
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball, offense and defense. Up front,

1279
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:09,080
Speaker 1: the Bills looked disinterested, and yeah, I've seen players that

1280
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:11,479
Speaker 1: I saw out there. I mean, of course Daikwon didn't

1281
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:13,120
Speaker 1: play and all that, and I get all that, but

1282
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:16,479
Speaker 1: they just looked like they were just ready for it

1283
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 1: to be over. It looked like it was a preseason mentality,

1284
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:21,479
Speaker 1: you got to say it.

1285
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 2: And the Steelers defense man, that front's pretty good, I mean, Oguin, Joby,

1286
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:29,200
Speaker 2: Keanu Benton, Cameron Hayward, and then on the edges you

1287
01:08:29,240 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 2: got t. J. Watt and Alex Highsmith. Like, yeah, that's

1288
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:34,640
Speaker 2: a pretty good fifty front right there. Yeah, and they

1289
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:36,920
Speaker 2: upgraded a linebacker because they have Patrick Queen, who they

1290
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:39,400
Speaker 2: signed away from the Ravens playing in the middle there

1291
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:42,880
Speaker 2: with the Land and Roberts. So it's pretty good front

1292
01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:46,600
Speaker 2: seven to say the least. So yes, it better be

1293
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:52,040
Speaker 2: brought at the line of scrimmage for sure, Bishop says attitude.

1294
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:56,200
Speaker 2: I know it's preseason, but I saw no drive from

1295
01:08:56,400 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 2: so many players. They seem to be just going through

1296
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:02,120
Speaker 2: the motions. Need to see much more hustle.

1297
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:04,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's what we've been talking about. I think

1298
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:07,280
Speaker 1: everybody saw the same thing. You know, they just didn't.

1299
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:11,360
Speaker 1: You didn't see a really good football team, four time

1300
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 1: Division champion football team unfurling its abilities with some attitude

1301
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:22,400
Speaker 1: and some passion. They it seemed like they were marking

1302
01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:24,720
Speaker 1: time through this game so that they could get to

1303
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 1: the regular season. And like I said in early early

1304
01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:29,920
Speaker 1: in the show, I kind of get it. It's not

1305
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:31,840
Speaker 1: fun to watch, and it's not even fun to be

1306
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:33,400
Speaker 1: on the team like this. It's no fun to go

1307
01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:35,400
Speaker 1: out there and get beat by the Chicago Bears thirty

1308
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:38,680
Speaker 1: three six, And there was no fun for anybody. But

1309
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:43,840
Speaker 1: most of those players, particularly the veterans, understand they're not

1310
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:47,679
Speaker 1: going to be allowed to go out and win that game.

1311
01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:52,160
Speaker 1: Much less depended on to win the game. They were

1312
01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:54,160
Speaker 1: going to be standing there in a baseball cap, and

1313
01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:57,600
Speaker 1: that is really hard to dredge up passion in that situation.

1314
01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:02,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, really hard, which might be why Matt says nothing

1315
01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 2: needs to be changed. It's preseason week in September.

1316
01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:11,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, but do you get the feeling some people say

1317
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:15,400
Speaker 1: that and they go, there's just that they're full of hope,

1318
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:15,840
Speaker 1: you know.

1319
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:18,160
Speaker 2: Like they're trying to speak it into it, just speak.

1320
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:18,639
Speaker 1: It into existence.

1321
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:20,599
Speaker 2: We're fine, We're fine, We're fine. We're totally good.

1322
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:23,360
Speaker 1: Like the mean guy sitting there, the house is burning

1323
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:25,840
Speaker 1: down around him's drinking coffee. It's fine, it's fine, you know,

1324
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:28,479
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, we're not. The house is not burning down

1325
01:10:28,479 --> 01:10:31,800
Speaker 1: in this scenario that they they're they're going to be

1326
01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 1: a really good football team again. But man, oh man,

1327
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:36,680
Speaker 1: you hate to see him have an outing like they did.

1328
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:40,200
Speaker 2: It's Saturday, Connor says on the tweets sheet, if the

1329
01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:42,400
Speaker 2: first team offense is on the field, I want to

1330
01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:44,680
Speaker 2: see Josh. Seeing Mitch go with the first team was

1331
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 2: frustrating to me because the first team, oh needs game

1332
01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:52,040
Speaker 2: time reps with Josh, not Mitch. The second drive that

1333
01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:55,040
Speaker 2: ended with Josh scrambling for the first down showed progress

1334
01:10:55,560 --> 01:10:58,479
Speaker 2: then he was pulled. Yeah, we heard Josh just address

1335
01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:03,000
Speaker 2: that with the media. Uh, he said. He was asked,

1336
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:04,439
Speaker 2: did you know you were gonna get yanked as soon

1337
01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 2: as you ran the football? And he's like, no, I

1338
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:07,439
Speaker 2: thought I was going to get a few more runs

1339
01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:09,679
Speaker 2: in there, but it took me out, he said.

1340
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:12,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, he said, slid and everything, didn't take a hit

1341
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:17,719
Speaker 1: or anything. And yeah, that's it, man. That Yeah, that's

1342
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:21,320
Speaker 1: a that's a thought process you don't want to get into. Yeah,

1343
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:26,400
Speaker 1: Josh has seen enough preseason for me anyway. I feel

1344
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 1: good about him not taking another snap, although I think

1345
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:29,559
Speaker 1: he probably will.

1346
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:32,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, we do have to remember that last year there

1347
01:11:32,240 --> 01:11:34,439
Speaker 2: was a game where they played about a quarter the starters,

1348
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:36,439
Speaker 2: and then there was another game where they played a

1349
01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:40,920
Speaker 2: half and then it was tapered off and eliminated from there.

1350
01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:46,240
Speaker 2: So I would anticipate it follows the same track, just

1351
01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 2: maybe not in successive games based on what happens in

1352
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:53,559
Speaker 2: the joint practice on Thursday. So I guess that will

1353
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:57,439
Speaker 2: be determined in due time. Let's go back to the

1354
01:11:57,439 --> 01:12:00,320
Speaker 2: phone lines at eight oh three five point fifty one

1355
01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:02,720
Speaker 2: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty Those are

1356
01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:05,280
Speaker 2: the numbers to get on board as we are asking

1357
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 2: you what needs to change in preseason game number two

1358
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:12,920
Speaker 2: for the Bills on Saturday against the Steelers and we

1359
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:15,640
Speaker 2: go to Bill in Depew next, what do you got

1360
01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:16,960
Speaker 2: for us? Bill? You're on one Bill's Live.

1361
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:20,839
Speaker 5: Hi, guys, It just said a couple of one comment.

1362
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:25,439
Speaker 5: Obviously was disappointed in their performance. It is preseason, but

1363
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:29,560
Speaker 5: typically saw McDermott teams are very well prepared, especially in

1364
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:32,559
Speaker 5: the preseason. We don't lose very often the preseason, so

1365
01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:36,760
Speaker 5: I think more solids a mindset. My second part is

1366
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:39,360
Speaker 5: I wanted to know your thoughts on how Joe and

1367
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:42,920
Speaker 5: Darisa played and what you think his chances aren't, if any,

1368
01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:45,640
Speaker 5: to make the team or the practice squad. Thank you

1369
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:46,720
Speaker 5: so much for taking my call.

1370
01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:49,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure thing. I would say this. I like the

1371
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:51,800
Speaker 2: way Joe played in the time that he had on

1372
01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:54,519
Speaker 2: the field last week. I thought his reads were good,

1373
01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:59,320
Speaker 2: shot through the gaps, made some tackles. He's also playing

1374
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 2: on specialty, so it's the kickoffs as new to him

1375
01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:05,000
Speaker 2: as it is to anybody else, so nobody really has

1376
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:07,639
Speaker 2: a leg up on him there, so just do your

1377
01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:10,080
Speaker 2: best on that unit as well. Here's what I think

1378
01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:15,240
Speaker 2: is working against him. I have the feeling that the

1379
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:17,960
Speaker 2: Bills are going to go heavy on the defensive line

1380
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:24,800
Speaker 2: and heavy at cornerback this year for various reasons. I

1381
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 2: think the position that's going to suffer because of it

1382
01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:32,080
Speaker 2: is the linebacker position, because they on they only start

1383
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:35,160
Speaker 2: two linebackers in their defense because they play nickel all

1384
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:39,840
Speaker 2: the time. So I think there's a good chance that

1385
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:43,360
Speaker 2: they go light at linebacker to accommodate the fatter numbers

1386
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:49,400
Speaker 2: at defensive line and at cornerback. So I think they

1387
01:13:49,439 --> 01:13:53,040
Speaker 2: only keep five linebackers. And if they're only keeping five,

1388
01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:57,880
Speaker 2: it's Terrell Bernard, Dorian Williams, Matt Mulano, Baylon Spector, and

1389
01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:01,840
Speaker 2: Eddie Ulafochio the draft choice, those are your five. I

1390
01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:05,880
Speaker 2: do think Andrewson has a shot at the practice squad though. Yeah.

1391
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:08,840
Speaker 2: I mean, as long as he keeps making progress through

1392
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:10,559
Speaker 2: the preseason. And again I'll say it. I thought he

1393
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:13,600
Speaker 2: did pretty good in the preseason opener. I thought he

1394
01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:18,000
Speaker 2: handled his assignments pretty well. So he continues on that track.

1395
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:21,200
Speaker 2: I think that goes a long way to convincing this

1396
01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:23,479
Speaker 2: coaching staff. Oh you know what, there's something to develop here.

1397
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:27,479
Speaker 1: Right, and that's and right now as it stands, that's

1398
01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:29,920
Speaker 1: what I'm seeing as well. I think he's a practice

1399
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:30,679
Speaker 1: squad candidate.

1400
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:31,240
Speaker 2: For sure.

1401
01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:37,880
Speaker 1: He's in a deep room that is gonna be They're

1402
01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:40,000
Speaker 1: gonna skim the cream off that room. That's there's not

1403
01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:42,000
Speaker 1: gonna be that many guys on the roster. I'm kind

1404
01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:43,639
Speaker 1: of with Brownie on this. I think they're gonna keep

1405
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:47,360
Speaker 1: big bodies and corners and dbs. I think the linebackers.

1406
01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:51,880
Speaker 1: While they like him, I just think the roster makeup

1407
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:53,680
Speaker 1: is gonna dictate how many guys they keep. And I

1408
01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:55,479
Speaker 1: don't think we're lyne back. You're not gonna keep six

1409
01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:57,040
Speaker 1: linebackers when he only played.

1410
01:14:56,800 --> 01:15:00,000
Speaker 2: Two and they'll have some on the practice squad.

1411
01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:04,080
Speaker 1: Sure, they'll probably keep five, like Brownie said, if yeah,

1412
01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:08,800
Speaker 1: for sure, uh, and maybe only have four active on

1413
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:10,400
Speaker 1: game day. You know, it's kind of that.

1414
01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:11,920
Speaker 2: Kind of depending on special teams.

1415
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:17,320
Speaker 1: So we'll see. But if if Andresen comes out and

1416
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:23,720
Speaker 1: he's a special team's juggernaut, and then then I'll talk

1417
01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:25,559
Speaker 1: to Yeah, then I then I think, okay, well let's

1418
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:28,120
Speaker 1: see it, you know, let's let's have him help because

1419
01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:33,000
Speaker 1: they still have kickoff kickoff return, punt punt return, and

1420
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:37,479
Speaker 1: if he could play a wing back on field goal,

1421
01:15:38,439 --> 01:15:40,719
Speaker 1: that's another spot that it would help. So we'll see,

1422
01:15:40,840 --> 01:15:42,920
Speaker 1: but that's that's what it's gonna have to be.

1423
01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:46,320
Speaker 2: We have to take a break here, but when we

1424
01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:49,559
Speaker 2: come back, we're gonna hear from the newest quarterback for

1425
01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:53,559
Speaker 2: the Bills, Ben Denucci. How is his three day cram

1426
01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:57,599
Speaker 2: session gonna go leading up to the preseason game against

1427
01:15:57,640 --> 01:15:59,519
Speaker 2: the Steelers. We'll get his thoughts on that when we

1428
01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:02,479
Speaker 2: return here on One Bill's Live, percented by Colida Health.

1429
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:19,040
Speaker 2: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right back here on One

1430
01:16:19,040 --> 01:16:21,680
Speaker 2: Bill's Live. Chris Brown Steve tasked with you on a Tuesday,

1431
01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:24,000
Speaker 2: and we've been asking you all day what do you

1432
01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:26,200
Speaker 2: need to see in preseason game number two that perhaps

1433
01:16:26,280 --> 01:16:30,000
Speaker 2: you did not see in the preseason opener. Before we

1434
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:33,320
Speaker 2: get back to that, we do want to pass along

1435
01:16:33,640 --> 01:16:37,599
Speaker 2: comments from one Ben Denucci, newest quarterback for the Buffalo Bills,

1436
01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:41,120
Speaker 2: signed after Shane Bouchell had to go on injured reserve

1437
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:45,040
Speaker 2: with a neck injury. Didn't do much in team work

1438
01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:47,880
Speaker 2: today as he's still learning the system, and here are

1439
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:50,400
Speaker 2: his comments on what he must do between now and

1440
01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:53,000
Speaker 2: Saturday to get ready to play at least a little

1441
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:54,480
Speaker 2: bit against the Steelers.

1442
01:16:55,320 --> 01:16:58,400
Speaker 3: Luckily for me, I've learned five offenses in five years

1443
01:16:58,439 --> 01:17:00,280
Speaker 3: in college, and this is my third offense in the

1444
01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:03,280
Speaker 3: past four years in the NFL. So luckily for me,

1445
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:06,240
Speaker 3: there's some carryover between what Joe's running and what what

1446
01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:08,200
Speaker 3: I was with last year with with Shawn in Denver.

1447
01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:10,960
Speaker 3: So for the most part, I mean, football is football,

1448
01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:12,680
Speaker 3: the plays are the players. It's just everyone's got their

1449
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:15,400
Speaker 3: little tweaks on terminology and what they call stuff. So

1450
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:17,960
Speaker 3: as fast as I can get myself up to speed, right, Like,

1451
01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:19,759
Speaker 3: this is the tough part. I come in on Tuesday,

1452
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:21,680
Speaker 3: I don't really practice much and I'm going going to.

1453
01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:22,680
Speaker 4: Play a game Saturday night.

1454
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:25,040
Speaker 3: So as fast as I can just get the base

1455
01:17:25,080 --> 01:17:27,479
Speaker 3: stuff the formations, be able to be able to call stuff,

1456
01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:29,320
Speaker 3: and I'll be in a good spot by Saturday night.

1457
01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:31,560
Speaker 4: So you do anticipate the playing Saturday.

1458
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:33,479
Speaker 3: And like getting I would, I don't know, I mean

1459
01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:35,439
Speaker 3: they haven't, they haven't told me anything yet, but I

1460
01:17:35,479 --> 01:17:37,280
Speaker 3: figured that they probably wouldn't bring me in here if

1461
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:39,240
Speaker 3: they weren't anticipating on, you know, seeing what I could

1462
01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:41,640
Speaker 3: do so regardless if it's one snap, if it's the

1463
01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:44,320
Speaker 3: whole game, I'll be ready to go whatever capacity of this.

1464
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:46,720
Speaker 12: Joe Tuck this morning and made it sound certainly like

1465
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:48,160
Speaker 12: that there's going to be at least the package of

1466
01:17:48,200 --> 01:17:50,960
Speaker 12: plays for you to be out there. Yeah, I mean,

1467
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:52,439
Speaker 12: I guess that's good news, right, But what do I mean,

1468
01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:54,200
Speaker 12: just what do you make of this opportunity in general?

1469
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:56,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, this is this is different for me.

1470
01:17:56,960 --> 01:17:58,880
Speaker 3: This is the second time this has happened. It happened

1471
01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:00,880
Speaker 3: once the Cowboys cut me in twenty twenty two. I

1472
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:02,640
Speaker 3: was it was after after training camp, so I was

1473
01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:03,240
Speaker 3: out the whole year.

1474
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:04,000
Speaker 1: This is a little bit different.

1475
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:06,840
Speaker 3: This is the first time I've gone through an off

1476
01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:09,680
Speaker 3: season and haven't been I haven't been doing anything, So

1477
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:11,760
Speaker 3: it's it's it's been tough mentally, right, Like you don't

1478
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:13,439
Speaker 3: have someone telling you to work out every morning at

1479
01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:16,720
Speaker 3: seven am. So it's staying staying on schedules, staying on

1480
01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:19,760
Speaker 3: a routine. But I mean, shoot, man, every every day

1481
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:21,360
Speaker 3: in this business is a blessing the fact that I'm

1482
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:24,559
Speaker 3: able to come out here. I was golfing Sunday morning,

1483
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:25,760
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden the bills call me

1484
01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:27,519
Speaker 3: and I'm here, you know, twenty four hours later.

1485
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:29,759
Speaker 1: So very appreciative, very grateful.

1486
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:31,040
Speaker 4: I don't take this lightly.

1487
01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:32,960
Speaker 3: Right, There's there's three guys on every team right now,

1488
01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:34,559
Speaker 3: So there's you know, ninety six guys in the world

1489
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:37,439
Speaker 3: who get to get to say that this is their jobs.

1490
01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:41,240
Speaker 3: So I'm really excited, you know, excited to you know,

1491
01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:43,120
Speaker 3: for myself to go to go show other guys what

1492
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:45,040
Speaker 3: I can do and just you know, be playing and

1493
01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:45,880
Speaker 3: being the float of things again.

1494
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:49,920
Speaker 12: Your career path, I mean, you change colleges, drafted in

1495
01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 12: the NFL and you know, played in some you know,

1496
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 12: a minor, minor league. It's it's not been a straight

1497
01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:57,760
Speaker 12: path to get here. How you know what has kept

1498
01:18:57,800 --> 01:19:00,360
Speaker 12: you kind of motivated in marching forward?

1499
01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:00,559
Speaker 3: This?

1500
01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:02,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's always been my m O.

1501
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:04,160
Speaker 3: Right, Like I wasn't a five star recruit, didn't play

1502
01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:06,320
Speaker 3: a big Power five school. I had to transfer schools,

1503
01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:09,719
Speaker 3: went from PITT to JMU, didn't go to the Combine,

1504
01:19:09,760 --> 01:19:11,719
Speaker 3: still got drafted. You know, one thing led to another,

1505
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:13,760
Speaker 3: ended up you know, playing. So my MYMO has always

1506
01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:15,840
Speaker 3: been controlled. I can control, right, There's so much stuff

1507
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:18,400
Speaker 3: in this business that is out of guy's control. So

1508
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:19,920
Speaker 3: the biggest thing for me is, you know, wake up

1509
01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:21,800
Speaker 3: every single day, try to try to get better at

1510
01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:24,280
Speaker 3: something right, one percent better every day. I had a

1511
01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:26,640
Speaker 3: coach younger, you know, tell me that and kind of

1512
01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:29,320
Speaker 3: always stuck with me, right like. So the biggest thing

1513
01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:32,160
Speaker 3: for me is come out here, have fun with it, right.

1514
01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:34,200
Speaker 3: You got to be able to have fun in this business.

1515
01:19:34,240 --> 01:19:35,920
Speaker 3: So have fun, try to try to, you know, get

1516
01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:38,840
Speaker 3: one percent better every day, and hopefully some some stuff

1517
01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:39,800
Speaker 3: starts happening in the way I want to.

1518
01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:40,880
Speaker 4: At the end of the day, it's just football.

1519
01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:42,679
Speaker 3: So when you're between the white lines, it's the same

1520
01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:44,719
Speaker 3: game I've been playing since I've been been ten years old.

1521
01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:46,760
Speaker 3: So just a lot more people watching it now. But

1522
01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:49,760
Speaker 3: have fun with it, enjoy it, and control things I

1523
01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:50,240
Speaker 3: can control.

1524
01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:51,679
Speaker 4: Did you know a lot about the Bills?

1525
01:19:51,680 --> 01:19:54,160
Speaker 2: Did you know any's on here like to like get.

1526
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:54,519
Speaker 1: A five for it?

1527
01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:55,880
Speaker 2: No?

1528
01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:58,960
Speaker 3: So ironically, I mean, the football world is kind of small.

1529
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:01,639
Speaker 3: So I played with Connor mc in Dallas. Damar Hamlin

1530
01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:04,200
Speaker 3: I played against in high school. We grew up together football, basketball.

1531
01:20:05,080 --> 01:20:08,360
Speaker 3: kJ Hamler was with me in Denver last year. Joe

1532
01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:10,840
Speaker 3: Brady and DJ mangus were William and Mary. When I

1533
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:12,640
Speaker 3: was in high school, they were they were recruiting me,

1534
01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:16,640
Speaker 3: I do vividly. DJ walked me around, uh, walking me

1535
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:18,559
Speaker 3: around the campus. I was wearing an old Dominion shirt

1536
01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:20,519
Speaker 3: turned inside out to William and Mary. I didn't have

1537
01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:22,479
Speaker 3: any other clothes to wear. So that might have been

1538
01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:23,560
Speaker 3: writing on the wall that I didn't want to go

1539
01:20:23,560 --> 01:20:25,880
Speaker 3: to William and Mary. But we'll keep that from those guys.

1540
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:29,320
Speaker 3: But and then Adam Henry, the receivers coaches with me

1541
01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:31,559
Speaker 3: in Dallas too, So there's some there's some familiar faces,

1542
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:33,559
Speaker 3: which is which is nice. Yeah, if you were to play,

1543
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:35,599
Speaker 3: you know, in Pittsburgh, and obviously you know where you're from,

1544
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:36,920
Speaker 3: what was that opportunity to meet for you?

1545
01:20:37,080 --> 01:20:39,040
Speaker 4: Just to be playing in your hometown?

1546
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:41,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean go figure right, Like, I get signed

1547
01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:43,040
Speaker 3: and I look at the preseason games and it says

1548
01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:45,360
Speaker 3: at Pittsburgh on Saturday, and I'm like, man, I haven't

1549
01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:47,360
Speaker 3: I haven't played in Pittsburgh in five years, And go

1550
01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:49,120
Speaker 3: figure out. I get three days to learn an offense,

1551
01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:50,240
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, I'm going back home to

1552
01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:54,240
Speaker 3: play in front of my hometown. Awesome opportunity, right, like

1553
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:56,400
Speaker 3: my my family's going nuts already. They're trying to buy

1554
01:20:56,479 --> 01:20:58,240
Speaker 3: tickets and do all this stuff, and like, listen, keep

1555
01:20:58,280 --> 01:20:58,680
Speaker 3: me out of it.

1556
01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:00,320
Speaker 4: I got I got a I have to do.

1557
01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:01,559
Speaker 2: I'll see you guys after the game.

1558
01:21:01,560 --> 01:21:04,360
Speaker 3: My girlfriend, everyone, everyone's trying to coordinate flights and and

1559
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:06,920
Speaker 3: all that stuff. So it'll be a lot of fun, right,

1560
01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:08,439
Speaker 3: Like I grew up there, I played there for a

1561
01:21:08,479 --> 01:21:11,559
Speaker 3: few years before I transferred to JMU. So I worked

1562
01:21:11,560 --> 01:21:13,000
Speaker 3: out for the Steelers a few weeks ago, so would

1563
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:15,360
Speaker 3: be pretty cool for me, kind of full circle moment.

1564
01:21:15,439 --> 01:21:17,080
Speaker 3: Go back home, play in front of friends and family,

1565
01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:18,920
Speaker 3: and just see how it turns out.

1566
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:21,240
Speaker 12: Where you've been living and training this off season Denver

1567
01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:23,320
Speaker 12: in Denver, Ye okay, definitely SE's where you were on

1568
01:21:23,320 --> 01:21:26,960
Speaker 12: Sunday when you got the call. Yeah, gotcha, right.

1569
01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:30,719
Speaker 3: Uh So, there's a there's a gym out in Denver.

1570
01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:32,519
Speaker 3: I was working out with, you know, Justin Simmons, who's

1571
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:34,760
Speaker 3: a free agent too, just who the Broncos released a

1572
01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:37,080
Speaker 3: few months ago. They're probably four or five NFL guys

1573
01:21:37,080 --> 01:21:39,920
Speaker 3: that eight to ten every morning right lifting, running the

1574
01:21:39,920 --> 01:21:42,080
Speaker 3: whole nine yards, I mean all that stuff. And then, uh,

1575
01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:44,240
Speaker 3: I know a few few guys. I had a high

1576
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:46,240
Speaker 3: school teammate who just signed with New Orleans who lived

1577
01:21:46,240 --> 01:21:47,519
Speaker 3: not far from me in Denver's.

1578
01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:48,160
Speaker 4: He's a tight end.

1579
01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:52,320
Speaker 3: So been able to have guys to throw to it has

1580
01:21:52,280 --> 01:21:54,240
Speaker 3: been the best part, right, Like for quarterbacks, it's it's

1581
01:21:54,240 --> 01:21:56,479
Speaker 3: all about just, you know, being able to throw to guys.

1582
01:21:56,520 --> 01:21:57,879
Speaker 2: So to have a few guys.

1583
01:21:57,720 --> 01:21:59,599
Speaker 3: Around, being able to you know, stay around NFL guys

1584
01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:01,719
Speaker 3: and still workout has been been helpful.

1585
01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:06,120
Speaker 4: Mental debt D James.

1586
01:22:08,320 --> 01:22:12,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's one thing, like I think I

1587
01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:14,280
Speaker 3: fried my brain too exhaustion last night just looking at

1588
01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:16,280
Speaker 3: the playbook for a few hours. Right, it's one thing

1589
01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:17,439
Speaker 3: to see it on paper and think you know it,

1590
01:22:17,439 --> 01:22:19,160
Speaker 3: and that's one thing to you know, hop out, hop

1591
01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:19,960
Speaker 3: on on the playing.

1592
01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:21,200
Speaker 2: Field, and uh, it's nice to.

1593
01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:23,400
Speaker 3: See you know you hear you, hear Joe call the

1594
01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:25,240
Speaker 3: play You see Josh break the huddle, see where guys

1595
01:22:25,280 --> 01:22:26,600
Speaker 3: are lining up. So I'm like, all right, cool, I

1596
01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:28,840
Speaker 3: saw this last night on paper. Now I'm seeing it

1597
01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:30,360
Speaker 3: on the field, and then we'll go in and watch

1598
01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:33,639
Speaker 3: it on films. So it's it's always better live, right,

1599
01:22:33,760 --> 01:22:36,679
Speaker 3: Like it's it's yeah, it's it's very beneficial, right, Josh

1600
01:22:36,760 --> 01:22:39,400
Speaker 3: has been extremely helpful already, match all the all the shame.

1601
01:22:39,479 --> 01:22:41,479
Speaker 3: All these guys have been been really helpful in trying

1602
01:22:41,479 --> 01:22:43,080
Speaker 3: to get me up to speed as quick as possible.

1603
01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:45,360
Speaker 3: So big, big help to uh from from those guys.

1604
01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:48,720
Speaker 2: Oh, the life of a free agent backup quarterback. I

1605
01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:51,479
Speaker 2: gotta tell you. You know, out in Denver, he's working out

1606
01:22:51,479 --> 01:22:53,720
Speaker 2: at a gym, he's trying to find former teammates and

1607
01:22:53,960 --> 01:22:57,000
Speaker 2: go to and playing golf, and he gets a phone

1608
01:22:57,000 --> 01:23:00,519
Speaker 2: call and you sound he sounded like excited when he

1609
01:23:00,520 --> 01:23:02,759
Speaker 2: heard that. Joe Brady said he would have a package

1610
01:23:02,760 --> 01:23:06,920
Speaker 2: of plays to master and execute in Saturday's game. So

1611
01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:08,879
Speaker 2: no one, he's going to get some run on Saturday.

1612
01:23:08,880 --> 01:23:09,599
Speaker 2: He's pretty pumped.

1613
01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:13,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you can tell there. I mean, he

1614
01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:16,720
Speaker 1: is the quintessential pro football player. He's just he's been

1615
01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:20,520
Speaker 1: through it. He's like four offenses and four years of college,

1616
01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:26,599
Speaker 1: three offenses in four years in the pros. Has learned

1617
01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:28,840
Speaker 1: them all and has it and he also knows his play.

1618
01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:30,439
Speaker 1: He goes, listen, I get a chance to play, We'll

1619
01:23:30,479 --> 01:23:32,719
Speaker 1: see you know. Obviously he was, he was on their radar.

1620
01:23:32,800 --> 01:23:35,000
Speaker 1: They gave him a call. Uh, they're gonna look and

1621
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:36,479
Speaker 1: see what he can do. And if he comes in

1622
01:23:36,520 --> 01:23:41,120
Speaker 1: and impresses, why not, he'll be in Buffalo for this year.

1623
01:23:42,240 --> 01:23:45,240
Speaker 1: That's you know, the way he handled those questions gives it,

1624
01:23:45,280 --> 01:23:47,320
Speaker 1: you know, gives a nod to his intelligence. He's also

1625
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:52,120
Speaker 1: obviously articulate. His experience will serve him well. And you know, well,

1626
01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:56,800
Speaker 1: let's just see that's that is an absolutely quintessential look

1627
01:23:56,840 --> 01:24:01,479
Speaker 1: into what this time of year in the NFL and beyond.

1628
01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:04,920
Speaker 1: So well, it's good for him. You kind of wish

1629
01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:07,080
Speaker 1: those kind of interviews kind of think, okay, let's see

1630
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:08,160
Speaker 1: what you got. Let's let's go.

1631
01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:11,280
Speaker 2: And the other thing that was interesting that he said

1632
01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:15,400
Speaker 2: was there is some carryover from a previous system that

1633
01:24:15,479 --> 01:24:19,040
Speaker 2: he ran with Sean Payton. So he was with Sean

1634
01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:22,920
Speaker 2: in Denver last year, and he says there is some

1635
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:26,679
Speaker 2: carryover with what Joe Brady runs here. And obviously Brady

1636
01:24:26,720 --> 01:24:29,400
Speaker 2: spent some time under Payton and New Orleans, so you

1637
01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:33,639
Speaker 2: would understand why there might be some familiar concepts contained

1638
01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:37,280
Speaker 2: in Joe Brady's system that look the same from Sean

1639
01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:39,960
Speaker 2: Payton's system. So if that can speed up the learning

1640
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:42,240
Speaker 2: curve all the better right off, they go.

1641
01:24:42,439 --> 01:24:45,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm sure that'll Danucci if he's going to

1642
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:49,479
Speaker 1: play a lot right now and today and through Thursday,

1643
01:24:49,520 --> 01:24:52,040
Speaker 1: when Josh is practicing against the Steelers, Danucci's going to

1644
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:55,679
Speaker 1: be standing there watching most of all, and Joe Brady's

1645
01:24:55,720 --> 01:24:57,479
Speaker 1: going to be talking to Josh, getting him ready to

1646
01:24:57,479 --> 01:24:59,320
Speaker 1: play and getting him better and getting him ready for

1647
01:24:59,360 --> 01:25:04,840
Speaker 1: the regular season. But come Friday night and all through Saturday,

1648
01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:07,920
Speaker 1: it's going to be Danucci time, and Joe will spend

1649
01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:10,400
Speaker 1: some time with you and honing in on some plays

1650
01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:12,880
Speaker 1: and some calls and some concepts that he can do.

1651
01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:15,080
Speaker 1: They can so he can go out and play the

1652
01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:18,600
Speaker 1: bulk of that game, if indeed that's what happens. But

1653
01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:24,360
Speaker 1: that's Joe will spend some time with Danucci getting him ready,

1654
01:25:24,360 --> 01:25:27,479
Speaker 1: probably on those last thirty six hours before the game.

1655
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:32,280
Speaker 2: There is an NFL note to pass along. No sign

1656
01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:36,519
Speaker 2: of Jamar Chase at Bengals practice today. The reason this

1657
01:25:36,640 --> 01:25:41,479
Speaker 2: is notable, according to ESPN's Bengals beat reporter Ben Baby,

1658
01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:44,400
Speaker 2: is because it would be the first day he actually

1659
01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:48,400
Speaker 2: was not at practice. Even though he hasn't been practicing,

1660
01:25:48,880 --> 01:25:52,120
Speaker 2: he has still been present. So here's another guy who

1661
01:25:52,160 --> 01:25:56,719
Speaker 2: is under contract but wants a new one. The funny

1662
01:25:56,720 --> 01:26:01,479
Speaker 2: thing is some people in the comments are like they

1663
01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:05,840
Speaker 2: should have him and t Higgins not show up, that

1664
01:26:05,880 --> 01:26:10,799
Speaker 2: it puts some pressure on him. I don't know. Tyler

1665
01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:15,320
Speaker 2: Board isn't there anymore. He left in free agency. Higgins

1666
01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:17,719
Speaker 2: is probably spending his last year in the Bengals uniform,

1667
01:26:17,720 --> 01:26:19,599
Speaker 2: as they have told him and know on certain terms

1668
01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:22,519
Speaker 2: they're not going to extend his contract. So then that

1669
01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:25,400
Speaker 2: leaves Jamar Chase, who presumably is going to get a

1670
01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:28,400
Speaker 2: big money deal, but Mike Brown said a month ago

1671
01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:33,599
Speaker 2: that there's no urgency to get it done right now,

1672
01:26:34,320 --> 01:26:38,720
Speaker 2: and once the offseason ended, in training camp started, I

1673
01:26:38,720 --> 01:26:40,960
Speaker 2: think the owner, Mike Brown basically said, yeah, we'll talk

1674
01:26:40,960 --> 01:26:43,800
Speaker 2: to you after the season's over, and Jamar Chase is

1675
01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:46,240
Speaker 2: thinking otherwise, clearly because he's not practicing.

1676
01:26:47,200 --> 01:26:52,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, the Bengals, we've talked about how the forty

1677
01:26:52,400 --> 01:26:54,200
Speaker 1: nine ers want to get the maximum value for Brandon

1678
01:26:54,240 --> 01:26:56,360
Speaker 1: Aiyuk and they're sitting there. They're not trading him unless

1679
01:26:56,360 --> 01:26:58,559
Speaker 1: they get something back for him, because he's a valuable player.

1680
01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:01,559
Speaker 1: He's a very good player, and everybody's like, wow, you know,

1681
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:06,080
Speaker 1: everybody's playing hardball here. Let me tell you something. The

1682
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:13,000
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals play harder ball than anybody with contract negotiations

1683
01:27:13,439 --> 01:27:18,800
Speaker 1: they are. It's like, oh man, they throw a they

1684
01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:21,720
Speaker 1: throw a baseball that's made out of granite. That's how

1685
01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:26,120
Speaker 1: hardball they play. They do not flinch, They do not care.

1686
01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:30,280
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase can throw any kind of fit he wants.

1687
01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:33,519
Speaker 1: They will not budge. They will not budge.

1688
01:27:33,720 --> 01:27:36,240
Speaker 2: Get your money. When you get your money, we'll get

1689
01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:36,439
Speaker 2: to you.

1690
01:27:36,479 --> 01:27:38,280
Speaker 1: When we'll get to you. You don't get to tell.

1691
01:27:38,360 --> 01:27:40,680
Speaker 1: You don't get to set the clock. And that's the

1692
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:44,240
Speaker 1: way it's going to be. I'm telling you know that.

1693
01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:49,400
Speaker 1: You know we've seen it. Carson Palmer, they played hardball

1694
01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:51,599
Speaker 1: with him and they came out right smelling like a rose.

1695
01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:56,920
Speaker 1: Oh man, that's too bad for Jamar Chase.

1696
01:27:57,560 --> 01:28:01,320
Speaker 2: Bengals with some training camp drive jets, with some training

1697
01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:06,240
Speaker 2: camp drama. Yeah, I don't have any of that.

1698
01:28:07,560 --> 01:28:09,000
Speaker 1: Ben Denucci is not drama.

1699
01:28:10,080 --> 01:28:10,840
Speaker 2: No, he is not.

1700
01:28:11,040 --> 01:28:13,480
Speaker 1: He is the undramatic.

1701
01:28:14,120 --> 01:28:16,599
Speaker 2: We have to take a break here, but some final

1702
01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:18,439
Speaker 2: thoughts on the tweets sheeet when we return here on

1703
01:28:18,439 --> 01:28:21,120
Speaker 2: One Bill's Live presented by Collide Health, it's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1704
01:28:35,600 --> 01:28:37,600
Speaker 2: All right, some final thoughts from the sweetsheet on what

1705
01:28:37,640 --> 01:28:39,800
Speaker 2: you need to see in preseason game number two From

1706
01:28:39,800 --> 01:28:42,479
Speaker 2: the Bills, Joe says, better job of o line opening

1707
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:46,360
Speaker 2: holes for the running backs. Jack says consistency and discipline.

1708
01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:49,439
Speaker 2: Dumb pre snap penalties need to stop. There's no excuse

1709
01:28:49,479 --> 01:28:51,120
Speaker 2: for lining up in the neutral zone. Do a better

1710
01:28:51,200 --> 01:28:54,960
Speaker 2: job in coverage. Don't take illegal contact penalties for consistency.

1711
01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:56,719
Speaker 2: I don't need them to be masters of the system

1712
01:28:56,760 --> 01:29:01,920
Speaker 2: in week two. But stop looking lost. Wow. Danielle says,

1713
01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:04,200
Speaker 2: what needs to change is all the fans freaking out

1714
01:29:04,240 --> 01:29:07,960
Speaker 2: about really nothing. It's the first preseason game. We are rebuilding.

1715
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:09,800
Speaker 2: We all know this. Yes, a lot of improvements have

1716
01:29:09,840 --> 01:29:11,160
Speaker 2: to be made. Let's leave it in the hands of

1717
01:29:11,160 --> 01:29:16,120
Speaker 2: the coaching staff. Relax, and then JT says the penalties.

1718
01:29:16,880 --> 01:29:19,080
Speaker 2: We already lost a good core amount of star players,

1719
01:29:19,080 --> 01:29:21,840
Speaker 2: so we can't be shooting ourselves in the foot with penalties. Also,

1720
01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:24,719
Speaker 2: implement some screens and maybe reverse plays to Curtis Samuel,

1721
01:29:25,040 --> 01:29:27,240
Speaker 2: maybe some wildcat too, and let Josh sling in and

1722
01:29:27,240 --> 01:29:30,599
Speaker 2: get some chemistry with his wide receivers. Samuel looked good

1723
01:29:30,600 --> 01:29:31,439
Speaker 2: on that tunnel screen.

1724
01:29:32,080 --> 01:29:37,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm yeah, I'm absolutely and it is the preseason.

1725
01:29:38,200 --> 01:29:39,800
Speaker 2: The penalties would be.

1726
01:29:39,800 --> 01:29:42,720
Speaker 1: Nice to say goodbye to, no question about it.

1727
01:29:43,400 --> 01:29:46,160
Speaker 2: That's too many, even with a flag happy crew. That

1728
01:29:46,280 --> 01:29:48,439
Speaker 2: is correct because they were a flag happy row.

1729
01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:52,400
Speaker 1: But that'd be a good start, Yes, it would.

1730
01:29:52,640 --> 01:29:56,800
Speaker 2: We've got more on Saturday's prep tomorrow's show. We'll see

1731
01:29:56,840 --> 01:29:57,439
Speaker 2: at one o'clock.

1732
01:30:04,080 --> 01:30:04,120
Speaker 4: He
