00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: about my game day experience. So the tie Cats have

134
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: will call winner just like the Bills do right here

135
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: at one Bill's drive right, So we it's happened to

136
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: this is like the second time in a row. It's

137
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: happened where they've struggled in the ticket office to find

138
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: the tickets. Yeah, I got a little salty. Oh I

139
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: can't do that. No, I didn't mistreat anybody. But the

140
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: lady come and they were looking forward, and they started

141
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: huddling up like they're back. Like, so I figured, okay,

142
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: she hasn't put the tickets in. You know, it's my

143
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: daughter in law. Ands so I go. She goes, no,

144
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: I put them in. I game to the guy. So

145
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: I go back and I say, hey, listen, maybe check

146
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: another box or something. And they go, oh, they're not here,

147
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: And so I forbid you ever whip a twenty dollar

148
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: out of your wallet. Paper, Listen, I got tickets, right,

149
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: so well that you know, listen, you're players don't get

150
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: free tickets either. So somebody's paying for the two for

151
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: two tickets, right, So I'm not gonna do that, right.

152
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: So I'm sitting there and say, so I'm I'm like,

153
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: I'm off calling my daughter in law for the third time,

154
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: saying listen, she's in the stadium. Yeah they don't, they

155
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: don't have these tickets. And at the meantime, here comes

156
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: my wife. She's got the tickets. Where'd she get them?

157
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: The ladies in the ticket office, she comes up and

158
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: she goes and it was under Steve and or Sarah

159
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: Tasker and she goes, they filed him under S instead

160
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: of T for Tasker. She goes, a man, did it

161
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: there to blame? Did you miss some of the game. No,

162
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: we were there in time. We were there in time.

163
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: We got there for the anthem and all that. So

164
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: you've answered my question. You don't really give yourself time

165
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: for tail getting Listen, you gotta go early, no question.

166
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: But you know there's always bridge traffic as the bridge

170
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: from here, yes, because we're not taking the day right,

171
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: we're doing this right, but the game is not till

172
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: six thirty right right. I could do it, I got,

173
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: but because it's the Labor Day Classic in Canada. My

174
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: family now I got brought my older brother and his buddy.

175
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,400

178
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: in in Hambling. So I'm getting heavy pressure to take

179
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: labor day off and and and heavy pressure from our

180
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: producer to not day labor day. Surprise. Who's gonna win it? Right?

181
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: Who's got more juice? Right? Um? I got I have yet?

182
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: But you make the case. It's an hour drive. I

183
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: know you can leave here, but here's the thing, it's

184
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 1: it's all the family in town that right, then I

185
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: don't want to take meet him there. You can leave

186
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,120

187
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: seat at four thirty in Hamilton forty five. It's an

188
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 1: hour and twenty depending on the But see on a

189
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: labor day bridge traffic is going to be a crush

190
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: or see that's my problem. I think it's gonna be

191
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: a forty five minute wait at the bridge. And in

192
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: our ear Harris Seal working, he's not giving you that day.

193
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: I'm not getting a day off. Jay's off. It's labor

194
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: days off. Cell. I figure if I could bring it

195
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: up to you on the air, I could soft sell

196
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: the powers to be and then make my case and

197
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 1: tell them all my reasons, and then they would say,

198
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,320

217
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: No joking? What about weather? I mean, you've got to

218
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: be prepared for weather. I've got ski parkas okay. Yeah,

219
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: they give me, they give us all. They give us gear.

220
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: So Steve will not be with us next Monday and Tuesday.

221
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: Jobs Galley is going to join us again from WKBW TV.

222
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 1: He's filled in for various members of the show. Was

223
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: doing a little bit too good a job. He's pretty good.

224
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: It's pretty good looking forward and Joe here. All right,

225
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: we have a show today and it's a good one

226
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: and we're going to start right off with our topic

227
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 1: of the day. Yeah, we know the quarterback thing is big.

228
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 1: We've talked about the quarterback issue about Josh Ellen getting

229
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: the start since what Monday, I thing Monday and Tuesday.

230
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: It was announced on Monday at six, So you can

231
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: talk about Josh obviously, but we're not going to focus

232
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: on that with our Twitter poll. Yes, it is a

233
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: poll today, which Bill's player do you want to see

234
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: more from Sunday against the Bengals. Now, obviously the logical answer,

235
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna say Josh. But let's think outside the quarterback

236
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: for a second. Let us know who you want to

237
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: see more from? Who do you want to see just

238
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: more plays from, more playing time or you want to

239
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: see play better. I think we can qualify both of those. Here.

240
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: Which Bills player do you want to see more from

241
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: on Sunday against the Bengals? And again, more plays or

242
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: just better play? We put up a couple of the

243
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: names for your perusal on the Twitter poll right now.

244
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: Corey Coleman, the wide receiver acquired in the trade from Cleveland.

245
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: Fifty one percent of you want to see more from

246
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: Corey Coleman. In the early stages here at the Twitter poll,

247
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: thirty five percent of you want to see more from

248
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 1: another receiver, Zay Jones. We thought we better put somebody

249
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: from defense up there. I suggested Matt Milano. Only eight

250
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: percent of you put him down as your choice. Six

251
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: percent had somebody else in mind. It could be anybody

252
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: on the roster. The roster down to eighty eight. Now,

253
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: which player Bills player do you want to see more

254
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 1: from Sunday against the Bengals. Give us a call, we'll

255
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: talk about it. Eight oh three oh five fifty or

256
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: two three one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

257
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 1: My choice would be Matt Milano. Steve, I want to

258
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: see more from him. It was a run defense, first

259
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: team run defense was a problem against Cleveland. There wasn't

260
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: one man's fault. But I think the Bills are looking

261
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 1: for more from Matt Milano. The fact that they that

262
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: he retired the other day, the fact that Keenan Robinson

263
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: Robinson retired the other day, I think was a factor.

264
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: I don't know that Robinson was going to make the team.

265
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if he was going to be a starter,

266
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: but I think he he had something to say about

267
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: that position week side linebacker. And now he's gone, and

268
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: now it's Matt Milano. I just I don't know. I

269
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: just think I'm your prediction of a top ten defense

270
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: I think is in jeopardy, and especially when you see

271
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: the way they played against the Cleveland Browns and if

272
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna be a good defense and improved defense top

273
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: ten or otherwise, they need to be better. I think

274
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: at weeks side linebacker. So I would pull the lever

275
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: for Matt Milano, but you might have somebody else in

276
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: might give us a call. Well, yeah, And we didn't

277
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: put the offensive line in because we wanted to be

278
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: an individual guy. Wanted people to pick a guy and choose,

279
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: and we didn't want a group or anything. Although um,

280
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: and also I didn't want I'm not really a prisoner

281
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: of the moment. I know they struggled in the run

282
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: game in the past protection against Cleveland, because let's face it,

283
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles struggled last night against the Cleveland Browns

284
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: as well. Cleveland's got a good front. I'm not really

285
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: that I'm not as worried about the offensive line as

286
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: a whole as much as I want to see one

287
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: of these other guys. And I think we're already getting

288
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: some really good feedback from our listeners. Dougie Briggs comes in.

289
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: He says, Murph is a great question, Steve, if you

290
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: had any saying this, I'd like to extend my thanks

291
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: to you as well. Critiquing the Twitter falls, that's great, Yeah,

292
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: it's make Yeah. I'm just truly looking forward to some

293
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: kind of establishment on our number two receiver at this point,

294
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: I don't think that's settled. I'm also watching the Croome

295
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: and Lee battle. That's a tight end. Thanks guys, And

296
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: he's right, the number two wide receiver has been a

297
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: camp question mark the entire times. A Jones did not

298
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: practice for a long time because he's rehabbing the knee.

299
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: Corey Coleman is a late arrival, and everybody else except

300
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: for Jeremy Curley, nobody even knows who they are for

301
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 1: the most part, and they've gotten We've gotten to know

302
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: them over the course of training camp. Murph and I

303
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 1: because we've been watching camp. But there's no buddy. I

304
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: don't think that has separated. You think the quarterback thing

305
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: between Peterman and AJ McCarron was muddled before the second

306
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: preseason game. The second, third, fourth wide receiver is really

307
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: really a toss up, So I think Zay Jones and

308
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: Corey Coleman. I think it's right to want to see

309
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: those guys because athletically you would expect them to be

310
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: able to contribute. See I think Zay Joe. Look, if

311
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: you look at roster right wise, and the Bills have

312
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: a number of moves to make, what thirty eight cuts

313
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: to make by a week from tomorrow four PM. A

314
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: week from tomorrow, I think Zay Jones has got a

315
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: spot on the roster up. Not so certain about Corey Coleman,

316
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: and I think there would be some separation there, But

317
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: there are other interesting Robert Foster not going to play

318
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: this week, you know, three weeks ago, I think many

319
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: of us would have said, Robert Foster is making a

320
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: strong bid for a roster spout. Now. I don't know.

321
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: Brandon Riley hasn't been seen. Got hurt in the first

322
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: preseason game. I assume he's ready to go on Sunday

323
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: against the Bengals. A guy to watch. Kaylin Clay has

324
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: some experience in this league. Ray Ray mc wow draft

325
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: pick right, sixth round pick. It's had good moments and

326
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: shows a lot on special teams. There are guys here.

327
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: There are guys at the wide receiver spot in the

328
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: backup roles. Andre Holmes pretty valuable special team or does

329
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: that make him enough to keep on the fifty three?

330
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: It might Jeremy Curley, I think as a roster spot. Look,

331
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: I think three spots are locks. A wide receiver. I

332
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: think Calvin Benjamin, Jeremy Curley, and Zay Jones. After that,

333
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: I think, you know you got to find two others.

334
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: Our guest yesterday, Rod Streeter, I think has something to

335
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: say about this. It's gonna be interesting. And even though

336
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: all the all eyes will be on the quarterback battle

337
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: and who's winning and who's gonna line up and start,

338
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: there are other positions in play. Here, including the backup

339
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: wide receiver spots, and in particular those might be decided

340
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: by who's playing best special teams here. That's right, it's

341
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: a chemistry test, and we saw it last year. I mean,

342
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: Brandon Roddy had a really nice training camp, but because

343
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: he couldn't play special teams very well, he was off

344
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: the roster until the last part of the season. That's

345
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: what the young guys are really looking at. Can they

346
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: contribute on that as either kick returners or for sure

347
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: kick coverage guys. They've got to be able to contribute

348
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: on those teams. And if they can't, then the chemistry

349
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: changes for the guys who actually do make it. Do

350
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: you take they will take less of a receiver and

351
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: keep a better special teams guy knowing that their fourth

352
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: fifth wide receiver is not going to see the field

353
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: catching passes. I mean, that's just the way it works.

354
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: It's a numbers game, and when you get to that point,

355
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: your roster becomes about their contribution on game day in

356
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: situations where they had to do something other than play

357
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: wide receiver. And that's that's the way the game is

358
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: coached and and your roster has structured these days in

359
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: the NFL. Who do you want to see more of

360
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: Sunday besides quarterback? We know where that's going. We know

361
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: where at least the playing time is going to go.

362
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: Give us a call. Eight O three fifty toll free

363
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: one eight eight five fifty two five fifty. Sean McDermott

364
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: met with the media this morning before practice and he

365
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: talked about Josh Allen. One of the reasons why McDermott

366
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: says he started Josh Allen this week was to get

367
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: Allen into the routine of what it would be like

368
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: if he were the get a season starter. What do

369
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: you do on Monday? What do you do Tuesday, Wednesday?

370
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: Throughout the week? Media, lifting, quarterback meetings? What's it like

371
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: as a starter? They wanted to get Josh Allen that routine,

372
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: and today McDermott was asked how Allen has handled this

373
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: week as the bill starting quarterback. I think, you know,

374
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: it gets right back to routine. We talk a lot

375
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: about routine and this week is part of part of

376
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: the reason for the way we shaped this week is

377
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: for guys to get into a routine. Josh no different.

378
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: He has seen what lifting, the lifting schedule would be like.

379
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: The film schedule would be like his requirements with maybe

380
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: you guys in terms of the media. So he's done,

381
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: he's handled it well to this point. We still have

382
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: a couple of days before the game, but it's been

383
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: a good experience just off the field in terms of

384
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: getting him into what could be his routine once the

385
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: season begins. Coach McDermot is pretty careful about saying, look,

386
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: we're not naming him the starter for September ninth, but

387
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:58,719
Speaker 1: we're giving him a chance to see what he can

388
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: do today. Do you think that routine is that important, Steve?

389
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: I know mcdermots talked about it a couple of times.

390
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: You think it's that important to get him into that routine.

391
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: I think it really helps getting him familiar with it

392
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: when you're when you get into a real game where

393
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: it's going to count in the regular season, you need

394
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: to be comfortable every day when you go in there

395
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: so you can think about getting better and doing your

396
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: job rather than what what do I have time for today?

397
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: What happens next? And what am I doing after lunch?

398
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: Because I gotta find out, I gotta get treatment, I

399
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: got to do this. When you have a schedule laid

400
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: out that you run through once before all that stuff

401
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: goes away, and you can just you you're just more

402
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: efficient with your time in the day, and that's what

403
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 1: it means. And every little bit helps. I mean, you

404
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: can say, you know, five or ten minutes missed over

405
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: here because you didn't you had to find out and

406
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: ask around what the next item on the agenda of

407
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: your day was. Um, you know, five or ten minutes

408
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: three or four times a day adds up, and you

409
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: can and when you've only got three or four days

410
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna get ready for a game after putting the

411
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: last game to bed. It makes a difference and it

412
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: and it also changes your mindset when you can actually

413
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: go in with confidence and not think about anything else.

414
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 1: So how long does Josh Allen go? How long did

415
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: the starters go? Tehan McDermott was asked that question today.

416
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: How long will the starters play this Sunday against the Bengals.

417
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say. Yeah, they'll go about

418
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: about a two quarters and some change after half. There'll

419
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: be some slight variation based on the individual, but overall

420
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: they'll they'll come out of the locker room after half

421
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: for the most part and get used to again that

422
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: routine of hey, going into the locker room, going through

423
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 1: that those adjustments, and then coming out of the locker

424
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: room and and going back to work there. So that's

425
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: the way to do it. I like that, right, you

426
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: play the first half, you go back out there at

427
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: the third quarter, maybe a series or two, just to

428
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: get into that routine as long, because that's what you look.

429
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: That's the way it's done. Because the game, even a

430
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: preseason game, where are you gonna go out there and

431
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: play and compete with other against another team. You've got

432
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: to really bring a little bit of emotion to it.

433
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: You've got to bring some passion. You got to kind

434
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: of get geared up for it and going in and

435
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: doing that for an entire half, knowing that you're gonna

436
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: be there doing that, staying into it emotionally, staying engaged

437
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: on the sidelines. You know, these other first two preseason games,

438
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: you can imagine you've got your four you know, your

439
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: four series in and you kind of know like, okay,

440
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: I'm kind of done today. So you take it all.

441
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: You put a baseball hat on, and you take a

442
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: drink of water. You sit down, you start talking about

443
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 1: what happened, and stuff, and you forget there's even more

444
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: game going on. I mean, you're talking about what you

445
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 1: did and you're evaluating yourself with your teammates, and then

446
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: it takes you a while and then you come back

447
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 1: late in the game and start watching the game as

448
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: a spectator. Completely different. In this game, you stay engaged.

449
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: You're staying engage with the defense. Is if your offense.

450
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: You're watching the defense, making sure they're doing and making

451
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: sure there's no turnover, getting ready to go back out.

452
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: You're watching front expected things. You're talking about adjustments, you're

453
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: having conversations. You go in at halftime and you have

454
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: to stay on it through halftime. You go in, you

455
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: get adjustments. You say, hey, they're doing this, so we're

456
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: gonna do this. Watch for this thing. We're gonna change

457
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,959
Speaker 1: this because they're hurting us. Here, go out and we're

458
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 1: gonna try this. We're gonna come out in these formations offensively,

459
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: watch out for these formations defensively. All this kind of

460
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: adjustments that you go through and you come back out,

461
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 1: kick it off, and you're back into it. That's much

462
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: different than the first scenario I talked to you about.

463
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 1: You it's all about emotion. And engagement mentally and staying

464
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: into it. It's and it's a much different atmosphere on

465
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 1: this sidelines, this preseason game than any other. We'll see

466
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: how Josh Allen handles it. We'll see how they all

467
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 1: handled it. And that's a question we put to you today.

468
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: Who are you looking at? Who are you gonna? What

469
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: do you want to see more of this Sunday when

470
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: the Bills line up and play the Cincinnati Bengals, Bob

471
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: and West Seneca on the line with us, Bob, go ahead, Hi, Hey,

472
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,239
Speaker 1: you can ask them, guys, how are you doing? Okay? Good? Good? Hey?

473
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: First of all, I want to give Steve Sun bravo, bravo.

474
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: Nice game man, really really good. Now, well he come

475
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: down to beat a second receiver next year? Or do

476
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: you're after these under contract? I'd like to see I

477
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: forget his first name forgive me back? Yeah, Marcus, yeah,

478
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 1: yeah him? And more of Chris Ivory and just one

479
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: quick question comment and the two running backs, if how

480
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: it works on the coaching staff, because we just guess

481
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: in the stands. Josh Allen comes in the game, first half,

482
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: place fantastic. I'm going overboard here, three touchdowns, moving that ball,

483
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 1: would you keep him in when you've already thought about

484
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: Peterman coming and you keep him in for another quarter

485
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: to see if this guy's really got him going to

486
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: start for your opening day? And thanks again, guys, see

487
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: you later. Okay, thanks. You know what, that's a good question, Bob. No,

488
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 1: I would not if he I don't know if it'll happen,

489
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 1: But if Josh Allen lights it up by halftime, at

490
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: the end a halftime, and even with the benefit of

491
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: what Steve just talked about starting a second half making

492
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: the halftime adjustments, if he lights it up, if it's

493
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,239
Speaker 1: clear at five thirty pm Sunday that Josh Allen's going

494
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: to be your starter on September ninth, No, I would

495
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: not risk it. I would not play him the second half,

496
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: and I would not play him at all in the

497
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: preseason finale. That's my thought. Yeah, it's I get the theory.

498
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 1: I mean, if if he liked sit up and shows

499
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: the kind of player he's that everybody thinks he could

500
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: be in that first half, I don't. I think I

501
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: would stick with the plan because if he is going

502
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: to be your starter, you want him to go through

503
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: halftime and come back out and face a defense that's

504
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: now adjusted to him. Even if you only if he

505
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: only comes out and takes a three and out series

506
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: after halftime, or or makes a couple of first downs

507
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: and you punt it away, then you take him out

508
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: so he can get into coming out a halftime so

509
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: it's not new to him when he happens, when it

510
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: happens in the regular season. That's exactly why you do this.

511
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't not would be one more lesson. I'd

512
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 1: let him get before then I'd sit him down and

513
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 1: like you, Murph, if he's if he plays like uh,

514
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: like the caller says, yeah, he gets he gets packed

515
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 1: in a crate with bubble wrap for that fourth preseason. Yeah,

516
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: he's not going anywhere. He doesn't get near the field.

517
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,239
Speaker 1: I hope it happens that way. I don't know if

518
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: I anticipated will, but I do. I hope that it's

519
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: that clear cut. Not practicing today for the Bills defensive

Speaker 1: lot in preseason game number two against the Cowboys. I

533
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,160

Speaker 1: and maybe you have that uncertainty to get a chance

554

00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: winning and baby shows. But I can only get out

568
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: of that beaut the Buffalo Open. Now. It's a little

569
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: comfort to try to get out of these little family events.

570
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: But it's been fun having everybody around and him just

571
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: started to start to Yeah, you're a popular guy, Preston.

572
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: Let's face it, Preston Brown. On the line of us,

573
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 1: were you disappointed, Preston that you were not able to

574
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: get it done and deal done and stay here with

575
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Yeah, I mean, of course the same

576
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: at the time when I was something definitely to dum

577
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: in there four years. Wanted to build that relationship. But

578
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a business and we know how things work.

579
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: We had a new coach, NEWCM the whole du regime,

580
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 1: so they want of different players and different things that

581
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: they were used to. So it was a time to

582
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 1: go tell us a little bit about how it's going

583
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: for you in Cincinnati. Your first training camp there that

584
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 1: when you're not playing for the Buffalo Bills as a

585
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 1: pro football player. How's the change been? And uh, tell

586
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: us a about the ups and downs you've gone through

587
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 1: in this training camp. Yeah, Uh, it's been a little different.

588
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: Uh having a cross the street to go practice a

589
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: different hasn't hit us. It's a little difficult. We have

590
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 1: to fight. It's in the rain for about a week.

591
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 1: So just getting you some things that you had in

592
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo that you might not have to here. Are do

593
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: stuff that I have here, thingers that we didn't have

594
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. So that's the biggest change so far. But

595
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: I think it's just been trying to get to know

596
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: the teammates and the different personalities and the coaches, and

597
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: the's a chup challenge, but trying to get each day.

598
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: The coaches include a guy who I know pretty well,

599
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: Jim Hasselt. He's your position coach coaching linebackers. Played here

600
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: a really good player when he was here back in

601
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: the late seventies and the early eighties. How are you

602
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: getting along with coach hast and what kind of a

603
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: coaches he? Oh? Yeah, I love Coach has I mean,

604
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: every day trying to make a find a way to

605
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: better teaching the little things everything. I mean, he's definitely

606
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: one of the best coaches I ever half so being

607
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: with a guy like that and a guy who played

608
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 1: the Buffalo, so he's always talking about you, and he's

609
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: always talking about Buffalo. So he's talking to me. Yeah,

610
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: he's like, what's he saying? Is it stuff you're gonna repeat?

611
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: You can't talk about me? Telling him I don't allow that.

612
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: That's not cool. Tell us a little bit about about

613
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: the guys you're playing with on your defense, what uh?

614
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit about you know the game plan,

615
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: not the game plan, but you know what your plan is.

616
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: Are you guys gonna go past halftime? And the Bills

617
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: have come out and said that kind of is the

618
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: traditional way to do things. You've played a lot in

619
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: this preseason. Have you liked that? Has that been different

620
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: for you? Oh? Yeah, I mean I'm expecting to play

621
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: the whole game. I mean, that's just how I try

622
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: to go out there any time, because you don't want

623
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,719
Speaker 1: to think, oh, well, this is my last same thing.

624
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: You start thinking about the some flour seen in a

625
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: datorade and you go out there a good DP. So

626
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: you definitely got to find a way to stay focus

627
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: the whole game. So I'm not sure exactly how long

628
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: we're going to play, but I know that we'll probably

629
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: play a halftime or more longer than that. So I'm

630
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: not sure that kind though you probably do a little

631
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: bit of film study on the Bills. I would think

632
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: this week, Preston, what's it like to look at some

633
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: of your former friends and the guys you'll go up

634
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: against on Sunday offensive linemen in particular, Yeah, John Miller

635
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: and knows guys, but Johnson's little better. But it's fun

636
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: messing with him in the line room. Guy. But I

637
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: think overall, they've been doing a lot of different things,

638
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: doing a lot of inserts, a lot of shit motions

639
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: and art, a lot of motions just trying to get

640
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: you think about things. So it's a definitely fun thing

641
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: how they're doing, especially with the Patriots passed the game.

642
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: I said, a lot of empty they've been doing lately,

643
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: option arounds from the mic linebacker. So something I have

644
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: to be prepared for this week. Is there any place

645
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: you've got to visit when you get back to Buffalo.

646
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: Uh No, I mean, I'm just going to the hotel,

647
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: just like a regular a regular away game. I mean

648
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: the weird start familiar is probably after the game, not

649
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: going to my house. That's the weirdest thy Preston, Uh

650
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: to make a move like that to go home, and

651
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: I know you hit your mom involved in your contract negotiations,

652
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: it's probably a you know, if you're, let's say at

653
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: the midway or approaching the midway point of your career,

654
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: it's probably a good perspective to be home, to be

655
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: around family, to kind of take a look at what

656
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: your NFL career has been about so far and where

657
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: you might be going. I would think, yeah, it's a

658
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: back room. I mean, every days trying to find something

659
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: that just through a little a little strange. It's being

660
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: so new to me, but it's fun being back around

661
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: a family always had a support Having my dad and

662
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: my mom and my sister, my grandma so close, it

663
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: feels like I'm back in high school. So it's definitely

664
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: been a fun trep. I know you used to, Uh,

665
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: your dad was an accomplished high school coach there, and

666
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: you used to watch a lot of video with him.

667
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: Is that resumed now that he's in the same town.

668
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: Do you watch video with him. Now, Uh nah, not really.

669
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,719
Speaker 1: He'll sit there and try to try to go over

670
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: some stuff. But I mean this a lingo. Is this

671
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: so different than than what he's used to just calling

672
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: out personnels, the different things, and you trying to have

673
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: to him, what's your how to explain because you understand

674
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: his way, but he tryed to TJ the way that

675
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: we've been talking in the NFL, which is totally different.

676
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: But it's kind of helping me to learn the defense

677
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: more a boy trying to complain stuff to him. Impression

678
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: if you thought at all what your favorite moment was

679
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: in the four years in Buffalo, what what kind of

680
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: sticks with you about those four seasons here? Ah, the

681
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: favorite moment um um at Buffalo probably the snow game

682
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: that was pretty funcily just so it was passes, they're

683
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: gonna run the ball and you had one tons to

684
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: make the tackle. If you didn't, you're gonna flop by yards.

685
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: So that was probably your last game with the Bills.

686
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: Is pretty memorable, right, your last regular season game anyway

687
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: down there in Miami. Um, the game itself and then

688
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: the post game locker room, right when you saw the Bengals,

689
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: when you saw the Bengals beat Baltimore. Yeah, that was.

690
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: That was the experience that we're all probably gonna remember

691
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: for rest of our lives. It was definitely a play

692
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: time in the locker room and see that happen, that

693
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: crazy playoff fourm down and they make the stop on

694
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: Decat to win the game. I mean, everybody was going crazy.

695
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: I mean it was. It was a great time. He

696
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: was talking a little bit about the guys you're playing

697
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: with now, I mean you switched over, You've got you're

698

00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: uh Aj Green and those guys. Um, it's a little different,

700
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: different atmosphere. Talking a little bit about Andy, the kind

701
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: of leader he is. He's coming back to Buffalo, and

702
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,560

718
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: gets the ball in his hands, it's like it's just

719
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:14,920

Speaker 1: the Buffalo paper the other day about Lorenzo Alexander and

723
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: others said they're expecting you to be doing some trash

Speaker 1: good at it. But that's why I know. So I

728
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: was training with the off season a couple of times,

729
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: so he thinks I'm going out there and talk trash.

730
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be more shocking the guys when

731
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: I don't say nothing at all. It's gonna go out

732

742
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: Preston Brown, Cincinnati Bengals middle linebacker. After four years in Buffalo,

743
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: former third round pick, Preston joined us on the Subway

744
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: Fresh Take Hotline, Subway Eat Fresh. A lot of reasons

745
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: to like Preston Brown. One of the biggest ones I

746
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,399
Speaker 1: think Steve is He's just a player. He just likes

747
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 1: to play, you know, Yeah, he really does. He likes

748
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: to play. And yeah, maybe he talks a little bit.

749
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: I don't think it was ever a problem here. I

750
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: think he really finds great joy in going out there

751
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: and playing football. I appreciate that, Yeah, I think you

752
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: have to. And he also the kind of guy that says,

753
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: elizas I go into every preseason game thing, I'm playing

754
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: the whole game and knowing he's probably gonna play like

755
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: five snaps and then sit down in those first two.

756
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: Now he may play more in this one, but you know,

757
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: that's just the kind of guy is And he's one

758
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: of those guys, and that guy, I don't know what,

759
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to say typical middle linebacker, but he's

760
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: got that mentality of it's gonna be a fight and

761
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna win it every game and whatever, however long

762
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna play. And it's it's good to see one

763
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: hundred forty four combined tackles last year, tied for the

764
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: lead in the NFL. He's been at or near the

765
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,399
Speaker 1: top of the list in NFL tackles the last couple

766
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: of years here in Buffalo, which is a good thing

767
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: and a bad thing. That means he's been on the

768
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: field for a lot of plays too, right and around

769
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 1: the ball making plays for sure. I just you know,

770
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,919
Speaker 1: I think the Bills took a look at Preston Brown.

771
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: This is just me talking. I don't have this authority here,

772
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,439
Speaker 1: but they weren't sure they wanted to pay him because

773
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: they weren't sure about the fit. I think they believe

774
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: they have a better fit at mic linebacker now, at

775
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: least potentially in Tremaine Edmunds, a guy who can run

776
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: a little bit better than Preston Brown. And with the

777
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: guy who wasn't the right perfect fit. I don't think

778
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: they wanted to type a lot of money with him,

779
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 1: which is why he wound up with as Cincinnati bad

780
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: and and that's we've seen it a couple of times

781
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: with his front office. They made some gutsy calls and

782
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 1: some of the guys they traded last year with Marcel

783
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: Darius Or who is a hugely talented player, Sammy Watkins

784
00:35:55,160 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: a hugely talented player, Ron Darby, hugely talented player. They

785
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 1: didn't fit Cordy Glenn Cody the way Cordy glennit wasn't

786
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: what exactly what they wanted. They thought Dion Dawkins was

787
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: a better fit. They've made those decisions, and this is

788
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: um a team and a coaching staff and a general

789
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: manager that really values fit and chemistry and culture, I

790
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 1: think at a higher level than most teams do. With Preston,

791
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: I think I think the culture and chemistry he's fine,

792
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 1: I think so. I think it was more of a scheme.

793
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: I think was excess. Yeah. Yeah, let's take a call here,

794
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 1: Jim and Lakeview. Hello, Jim, welcome. Yeah, Hi guys. My

795
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:42,240
Speaker 1: question observation is it builds coaching staff in these preseason games.

796
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: So how they what the priorities are. They're talking about

797
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: the opportunity to see the team execute and critical situations

798
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: or to win the game. I'll give you a couple

799
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: of examples. The end of the half of the last

800
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: preseason game, we were down in the red zone. It

801
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: was third and about seven seven seconds to go. I

802
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: would like to see, Josh Ellen the offense tested to

803
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: see whether they could get I'll throw into the end

804
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: zone one shot and hopefully under that seven seconds and

805
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 1: see what they could do with it. Instead, we tried

806
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: out our field goal kicker for basically an extra point,

807
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 1: and I'm like, why are those three points so important?

808
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 1: I'd rather see this offense tested in that kind of situation. Yeah, Jim,

809
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: I know exactly what you mean, and I've said it

810
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,399
Speaker 1: on the broadcast a couple of times. Although I will

811
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: disagree with you in this sense, in this situation that

812
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: you described, I think they did the right thing. And

813
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: it's as much about the coaching staff getting their stuff

814
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: right as it is about getting the players to do,

815
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: you know, take a risk and make it tough on

816
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: the players. You know, you've got to get one play

817
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: done before seven seconds is up. It's got to be

818
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: an incompletion and so we have a chance to kick

819
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: a field goal. I think it's also as much for

820
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: the coaching staff stand wait a minute, in this situation,

821
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: we want to trot out our field goal team. Let's

822
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: do that and handle this the way we would handle

823
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: in a regular season game. And I've said it in before,

824
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: when you get into the when teams get out around

825
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 1: midfield or on the on their opponent's end of the

826
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: field and their own on the other team's forty five

827
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: or the other team's forty, where you get into that

828
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: gray area of a fifty seven yard field goal or

829
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 1: punting it on a fourth and two or whatever. I

830
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,720
Speaker 1: was always I've always been kind of the same mindset

831
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: you describe, Jim. Make it tough on them, say okay,

832
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: it's the end of the you know, let's see if

833
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 1: you can get these two yards in this situation rather

834
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: than just coming off and punting in a way I

835
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 1: always I always think in the preseason there's a couple

836
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: of instances every game where you make it hard on

837
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 1: your players and say, hey, you gotta get this fourth

838
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 1: and short instead of punting it. And and I think

839
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: that's kind of what the mentality the Jim's getting at it,

840
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 1: the caller was getting at Yeah, I get that. I

841
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: do think there's value in replicating game decisions, like what

842
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: would you do if there were a regular season game?

843
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: You do exactly what they did, right, That's right. I

844
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: see your point and Jim's point. But I'm okay with

845
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: them trying to kind of replicate as closely as they

846
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: can what you would do in think about it. I mean,

847
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: last year, Sean mcdermm was a first year head coach

848
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: and and he's been He's gotten some kudos over his

849
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 1: game management. Some of the guests we've had on this

850
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: week said they liked Sean McDermott's game management skills. But

851
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 1: you think back to the snow game and Sean McDermott

852
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: got vilified for punting it away with I think five

853
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: minutes to go in the game, when they were fourth

854
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: and two or fourth and three or fourth and one

855
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: on the Colt's end of the field laid in that

856
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: overtime game in the snow, he punted it away instead

857
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: of trying to get it on fourth down. A lot

858
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: of people did not like that decision, but that's but

859
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: that's the kind of decision that you got to make,

860
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: and that's kind of where your game management skills color

861
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 1: put to the test. Do you make the right decision.

862
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: Certainly it worked out for the Bills. They won that game.

863
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: They stopped him on a three and out and got

864
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: the ball back and went down and kicked and and

865
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: Shady broke loose on the on the touchdown. But those

866
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: are the kind of situations that happened during the regular

867
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: season that you want to try and replicate in the

868
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,760
Speaker 1: preseason and so that your coaching staff and your players

869
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 1: and you're keeping your most notably your quarterback and your

870
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: key players get used to that. So, yeah, I get that.

871
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: Jim the caller, who you know, he would have liked

872
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: to have seen him try squeeze one more play out

873
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 1: with seven seconds left in the red zone. Get a

874
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: look at those guys. I get it, but it's as

875
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: much about the coaching staff working through their protocols and

876
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 1: their decision making processes. It is for the players. A

877
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: break right here, Steve, when I'm back with more One

Speaker 1: probably just wrapping up over there with new Ara Field.

883
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: It's a Friday practice. Are you feel a bit shorter?

884
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: I'm feeling it. You're feeling in practice, yep. And we're

Speaker 1: practice today. Jake Delone, I think fourteen years is the

887
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: number his tenure in the National Football League, most of

888
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: that time with the Carolina Panthers. He's scheduled to join

889

Speaker 1: us any minute now, and coming up after the one

891
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: Davis from Fox Sports Network. He is here because he's

892
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: going to be here on Sunday calling the game the

893
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals on Twitter today our Twitter

894
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: poll which we'd like you to get involved in? Which

895
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: Bill's player other than quarterbacks, which we know that's the

896
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 1: big issue, But which Bills player do you want to

897
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: see more from Sunday against the Bengals? On Twitter? Fifty

898
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: two percent of you say he'd like to see more

899
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: from Corey Coleman, thirty three percent say you'd like to

900
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 1: see more from Zay Jones, eight percent say you need

901
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: to see more from Matt Milano, six percent say somebody else.

902
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 1: On the tweet sheet from Wandering Jack, he says, I

903
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 1: really want to see Coleman unleashed the speed and hands

904
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 1: that made him the fifteenth pick and won him the

905
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: bullet Nic Golf Award. I hope the Bills try to

906
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 1: get the ball to him. I'd love to see a

907
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 1: deep shot from Allen. The guy has talent. I want

908
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:58,840
Speaker 1: to see if he can save his career here in Buffalo.

909
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: I think that's a jitimate concerned. You know, we all

910
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 1: went into We didn't all, but many of us went

911
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: into the Cleveland preseason game last week. Steve's thinking this

912
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: is a big game for Corey Coleman. It was not.

913
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 1: They didn't get the ball to him. He didn't get

914
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 1: a chance to put that speed on display. So he

915
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,919
Speaker 1: can say it again this you can say it again.

916
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: This game, right, it's a big game for him. He

917
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: needs to do something to show why he belongs on

918
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: this fifty three man roster. And they don't have that

919
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: much invested in him at a seventh round pick. And

920
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a racist to see if to see

921
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 1: if he can get acclimated into the offense. It's not

922
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: an easy offense to learn. It's gonna take some time.

923
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 1: And can he get proficient enough at enough of it

924
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: to get on the field and make some plays. Are

925
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: they going to be able to wait on him to

926
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: do that? Do they see enough in him to make

927
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 1: them want to wait to see if he can do

928
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: that that? Those are all questions that need to start

929
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: being answered. And I think it's a great He's a

930
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: great addition to this question. And half the people agree.

931
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: He's a guy with a lot of talent, a lot

932
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 1: of physical talent, a lot of speed. Can they get

933
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: him coached up fast enough to have him make a difference.

934
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: That's It's it's the question of the day. I think

935
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: for the receiving Corps, because that's a guy that you

936
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: could plug in. He's a number, a solid number two

937
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: receiver skill wise, if they can get him on up.

938
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: He's got the credentials, he's got the numbers, the resume,

939
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the production and he hasn't shown much here,

940
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 1: but it is a big question for the Bills. A

941
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,600

Speaker 1: This is a spring day and a fall day for

992
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 1: us in Louisiana. So I've been in Heaven the last

993
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 1: late summer. This is very nice. Yeah, I knew exactly

994
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,359
Speaker 1: what you mean. It's tell us a little bit about

995
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: what you've done since you've been here. How long have

996
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: you stayed in Buffalo when you taken off. I flew

997
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: in yesterday around noon, and I came yesterday afternoon and

998
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 1: spent the time just kind of hanging out with the quarterbacks,

999
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 1: went to one of the offensive meetings with the team,

1000
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: and just stayed here till about eight last night with

1001
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:28,879
Speaker 1: the coaches. I have a big connection here obviously, Brandon Bean.

1002
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: I was with Brandon in Carolina for many years. Brian

1003
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 1: dave Ball was my offensive coordinator in Cleveland. David Culley

1004
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 1: quarterback coach. I've heard about coach Culley for years. I

1005
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: went to University of Louisiana Lafayette, which used to be

1006
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 1: Southwestern Louisiana, and David was a quarterback coach way back when.

1007
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: There so big connection. Danny Craftsman I know. I got

1008
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 1: to know obviously Sean. He was deef asive coordinator in

1009
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 1: Carolina when I would always go back and visit, so

1010
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 1: it was good to see old faces and friends and

1011
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 1: reminisce and tell stories and just be around the guys.

1012
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 1: I was probably like you, I was honored to play

1013
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: in the NFL, And to me, there's nothing greater. You're

1014
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: at the pinnacle and I just love it just being

1015
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: around the guys, the locker room, just just everything that's

1016
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,800
Speaker 1: there's nothing great. You were an undrafted free age correct, absolutely,

1017
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: and just spend fifteen years in the league undrafted. That's incredible. Well,

1018
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's funny. When I addressed the team this morning,

1019
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 1: I brought up Lorenzo Alexander. I remember Lorenzo in two

1020
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: thousand and five as a free agent in Carolina, and

1021
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 1: obviously he was a lot heavier back then. And I

1022
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:34,839
Speaker 1: remember Mike McCoy, who's my best friend. Mike was ex

1023
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 1: coach of the Chargers offensive coordinator in Arizona now, and

1024
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 1: I remember Mike and I talking about Lorenzo. I was like,

1025
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,800
Speaker 1: this guy's a good football player. He just he's a

1026
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: little underside, you know, just little underside as a D line. Yeah,

1027
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: and then just to see what he's done with himself.

1028
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 1: I mean, if that doesn't give young kids that might

1029
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: not have been first second round picks, whatever it may be.

1030
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 1: I mean, if that doesn't give you any incentive, I don't.

1031
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 1: I don't know what does. You must have been like

1032
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: that too to teammates. I mean they look at you

1033
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: and said, this guy has been around forever and he

1034
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 1: came in, you know, and you had to play in

1035
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:07,360
Speaker 1: Europe for a while, right, I did, And I hopefully

1036
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 1: I was that way to those guys. I mean, I

1037
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 1: always said, it's it was such an honor and a

1038
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 1: privilege to play in the NFL. It wasn't a right.

1039
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: And I was lucky enough to be on some good

1040
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 1: football teams, and I truly appreciated it. And I guess

1041
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:24,320
Speaker 1: being the undrafted type, you're gonna do anything and everything

1042
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 1: possible and never to lose your job, and you appreciate

1043
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 1: every single And that's what I did. When Brandon Bean

1044
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: came here about a year ago, he was talking about

1045
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 1: something and he mentioned your name, Brandon Mean, and I

1046
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: looked up the quote today he said he was He

1047
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,399
Speaker 1: said Jake Delone was one of the greatest leaders I've

1048
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,399
Speaker 1: ever been around. That's that's pretty high praise. That's high praise.

1049
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: I appreciate that and I just think, you know, that

1050
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: came natural to me. I was a four year starter

1051
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,720
Speaker 1: in high school, went to a small Catholic high school.

1052
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:54,800
Speaker 1: I was a four year starter in college. And I

1053
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 1: just I love playing, I love competing. And when you

1054
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: get to the NFL, and I'd always guys, they're paying

1055
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,320
Speaker 1: us a king's rampsom to play a kid's game. And

1056
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:06,360
Speaker 1: when you when you put in the work, put in

1057
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 1: the time, put in the effort. I know, for me,

1058
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: euphoria was the ten minutes after a game in the

1059
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 1: locker room with just your teammates and the coaches of

1060
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 1: a job well done. There was nothing greater than that.

1061
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 1: And I talked about it this morning a little bit

1062
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 1: and talking with the team, and you know, the New

1063
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 1: Year's Eve game in the locker room, watching the footage

1064
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 1: of that team celebrate. I think that's what it's about.

1065
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 1: It gets hard, it gets difficult, and I haven't been

1066
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 1: in the locker room since twenty and eleven. I told

1067
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 1: him I give anything to be in the locker room

1068
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,879
Speaker 1: tomorrow tomorrow morning. You can't recreate it. Yeah, it gets long,

1069
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 1: it gets hard, I get it. But I said, that's

1070
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 1: that's what the NFL is about. It's about those memories,

1071
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 1: those relationships. That's that's what carries on. And that was

1072
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 1: your message to the team. You had a chance to

1073
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: address the time I did. I addressed the team this

1074
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: morning and I just told them listen, I said, from

1075
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 1: an ex player perspective, it's about a culture. You got

1076
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: to create a culture. It doesn't happen overnight. It takes

1077
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 1: a little time, but you create a culture and it

1078
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: permeates throughout the locker room, into the training room, the weights,

1079
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 1: that whatever it may be, the janitors, the mail clerks, everybody.

1080
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,400
Speaker 1: There's something about coming to work in a positive environment

1081
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 1: and atmosphere and you can just kind of get guys

1082
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 1: coming along and when you win, there's nothing greater. Yeah.

1083
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: And it's also you're sure in common the fact that

1084
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 1: we got to a super Bowl and couldn't win. I mean,

1085
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 1: you know anythink back when we came out second. Yeah,

1086
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,879
Speaker 1: I've got four second place rings. You talk a little

1087
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 1: bit about that. And it's the culture also helps you

1088
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: when it the adversity strikes as well. And that's one

1089
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 1: of the things that that's the reason you have a call.

1090
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 1: If you wont all the games, you wouldn't need culture

1091
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 1: and you know, I reference that to the team this morning.

1092
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:47,879
Speaker 1: We go to the Super Bowl. In two thousand and three,

1093
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: we obviously had a great year, losing the last second

1094
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:53,439
Speaker 1: field goal to none other than you know, Minetarian Time.

1095
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:57,799
Speaker 1: So the following year were we had a big change

1096
00:50:57,840 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: over four of our five offensive linemen. We're not there.

1097
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: We lost everybody. Steve Smith was going first game of

1098
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 1: the season, Stephen Davis, Deshaun Foster, Chris Jenkins, Dan Morgan,

1099
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,880
Speaker 1: who's now here. We lost all these Pro Bowl players.

1100
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 1: We started out one and seven, and we're in San

1101
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 1: Francisco playing against a bad Niner team, and we come

1102
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: back in the second half. We beat him. It like

1103
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 1: took the monkey off our back, and we won six

1104
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: out of our last eight. We just missed the playoffs,

1105
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: but that set us up for the following year because

1106
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,399
Speaker 1: we made it all the way back to the NFC

1107
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: Championship game. It's just those tough times when I told

1108
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: the team, you know, last year, you'll started out five

1109
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 1: and two, you go on a three game skid, you

1110
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 1: go to Kansas City, nobody's giving you a chance. That's

1111
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 1: a hard place to win and play, and you pull

1112
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 1: together because nobody else besides that building believed you could win.

1113
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 1: That's when that's when you start to see what the

1114
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 1: culture does. Where Jake Delone played with the Carolina Panthers

1115
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 1: a fifteen year NFL career, including that Super Bowl appearance,

1116
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 1: and I read a story about how, first of all,

1117
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,439
Speaker 1: when you took your last snap, you were leading until

1118
00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: Vnetarry comes out wins that game. Well you might and

1119
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:01,879
Speaker 1: your game you get three touchdown passes, three under dared.

1120
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 1: You may have been you might have been the Super

1121
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 1: Bowl MVP. Well, you know they like to give it

1122
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 1: to quarterbacks. Who knows, but it was that was a

1123
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 1: great game. You know New England obviously they were known

1124
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:14,399
Speaker 1: for their offense somewhat, but defensively that year they were

1125
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:16,799
Speaker 1: lights out. They I don't think they've given They gave

1126
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,800
Speaker 1: up nineteen points or longer that game. We had the

1127
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 1: longest pass and on against him that year, the longest run,

1128
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 1: the most points scored against him, and it was just

1129
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: it was a fun game. We had it tied up.

1130
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: Unfortunately John Casey on the kickoff, he slipped on the

1131
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:32,879
Speaker 1: kickoff and kicked it out of bounds, and you gave

1132
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 1: Tom a short field with a time out or two

1133
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:37,359
Speaker 1: and they needed a field goal. I read about I'm sorry,

1134
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,240
Speaker 1: I read about where you will. The Patriots were celebrating.

1135
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 1: You stayed out on the field and just watched for

1136
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 1: a long time, longer than you probably had to. Right.

1137
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 1: You know, they rope you off after you lose the

1138
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I mean the yellow rope comes off, Confetti

1139
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: comes down, and they're like long color confetti. Yes, you're

1140
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:53,760
Speaker 1: You're like cattle. They heard you all and I remember

1141
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 1: just standing out there and saying to myself, you know,

1142
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: this is the pinnacle, this is where you dreamed to

1143
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 1: be at, and we're gonna be back. We're gonna be back.

1144
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 1: We never made it back. We made it to a

1145
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 1: championship game. And that's why again with the message to

1146
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:11,800
Speaker 1: the team, you gotta relish these moments. And it's interesting

1147
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:14,320
Speaker 1: to me because I feel the same way. It was

1148
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 1: a fun game the Super Bowl he played in, and

1149
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 1: I had the same thing that the games that I

1150
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:21,719
Speaker 1: played into that in the magnitude you win or lose,

1151
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 1: it's fun. It's because of the guys you're with, the

1152
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,399
Speaker 1: guys you play with, the accomplishment and what it takes

1153
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,399
Speaker 1: to get there, and the rule and the journey makes

1154
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: it worth it, win or lose, still a lot of

1155
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 1: fun to be in the locker room. It's fantastic. And

1156
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,320
Speaker 1: another like I told that team, I said, Listen, I

1157
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: stayed here last night and I'm talking to some of

1158
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:42,759
Speaker 1: the guys that we were a part of. I said,

1159
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,800
Speaker 1: and we're telling NFL stories. So we never tell the

1160
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,360
Speaker 1: bad stories. We never talk about the game we lost,

1161
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:51,400
Speaker 1: the bad penalty we had, or if the interception I

1162
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 1: threw it to lose the game. So everything was the

1163
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 1: good I said. So you gotta understand. Yeah, it's not

1164
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 1: gonna be all peaches and cream playing this season. That happens,

1165
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 1: I said, but the memories that last a lifetime, that's

1166
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 1: what you remember. So you got to embrace it. Embrace

1167
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 1: the journey. Jake, you mentioned it. You had Brian Dable

1168
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 1: your offensive coordinator twenty ten with Cleveland. What sort of

1169
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 1: an OC is he? How do you think he'll be here?

1170
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:14,720
Speaker 1: I think Brian will be fantastic. Look, I was thirty

1171
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 1: six or thirty seven at the time. I was towards

1172
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: the end, I was more mentally prepared to play a

1173
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:22,880
Speaker 1: game with Brian dave Ball as my offensive coordinator than

1174
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 1: anybody had ever been with. And listen, Mike McCarthy. I

1175
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:28,320
Speaker 1: was lucky enough to have him for three years with

1176
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: the Saints, Dan Henning, who was fantastic, you know, Super

1177
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: Bowl rings. I had Dan Henning, Jeff Davidson, and so

1178
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:37,439
Speaker 1: I've had some good coordinators. But I was so ready

1179
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:39,360
Speaker 1: to play with Brian, and I don't know if I

1180
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 1: was more so that New England background, that whole teaching

1181
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:48,799
Speaker 1: philosophy that helped me tremendously, just being ready to play.

1182
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 1: Unfortunately I stayed pretty hurd that head year. I didn't

1183
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:54,399
Speaker 1: get to play a whole lot, but just mentally ready

1184
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 1: to play. And I think he'll do wonders for the

1185
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 1: quarterbacks here because this is a young group. I mean,

1186
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 1: it's not like there's a team your vet here. This

1187
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 1: is this is a young group of guys. Um you're here,

1188
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:05,880
Speaker 1: spoke to the Bills today, watch your little practice. And

1189
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 1: you've been involved in raising, breeding, and training throughbred racehorses

1190
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 1: for seven or eight years now, right, a family business

1191
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 1: ever since ever since I could walk. I mean like

1192
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 1: we had a barn behind our house and you clean stalls,

1193
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:23,359
Speaker 1: you worked, you know, school first sports, and then that's

1194
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 1: what we did and Um, I love it. That's one

1195
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: thing that I do. It helps feel that competitive voy

1196
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 1: guys have trouble when they're done playing because you're so

1197
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:33,839
Speaker 1: used to all your life, you've you've lived by an

1198
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 1: itinerary and a schedule, and that that competitive juices and

1199
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: that really helps a competitive voy. And you're off to

1200
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 1: Saratoga then this weekend for this I've never been And

1201
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to drive to Saratoga this afternoon, this evening

1202

1206
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 1: few minutes with us and talk to the team. What

1207
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 1: do you think of the Spills team? What do you think? Well,

1208
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:01,880
Speaker 1: I mean, look, i've saw them practice today for a

1209
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:05,840
Speaker 1: little bit. Um, I think I think the culture is changing.

1210
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: I think it changed someone last year and I truly

1211
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 1: believe with Sean and Brandon, Um, they're gonna bring the

1212
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 1: right guys in. And you know, to say this team

1213
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 1: is loaded to make make a Super Bowl run, I'm

1214
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 1: not so sure about that. But you got to build it.

1215
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't happen overnight, so we'll see what happens. But

1216
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 1: they fly around some good looking guys, some good looking

1217
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 1: young guys on the team. I mean, when you look

1218
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 1: at the two first round picks, you can't draw them

1219
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 1: up any prettier than that. I mean, they looked the

1220
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 1: part on both offensively and defensive. It looks like some

1221
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:37,400
Speaker 1: of your horses. Well, I'll hope mine looks like that.

1222
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:39,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna see some of those. I see the same

1223
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:42,879
Speaker 1: thing you see there. They look the part, and they've

1224
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 1: got all the skill sets. So build a team around them,

1225
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 1: create a culture. Good things happen. Jake, thanks for this

1246
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 1: ball things of that nature. But to be able to

1247
00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 1: come into your studio this is a thrill for me.

1248

Speaker 1: I really appreciate it. And you're here because you got

1249

Speaker 1: game you gotta do tomorrow night in Pittsburgh too, right, Yes, yeah,

1251
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:07,240

Speaker 1: there fuses. Yeah, it's good to be busy. It is

1253
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: good to go there and do that. I do the

1254
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 1: Titans package with Dan Helly and we'll go do that

1255

00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 1: to Buffalo right after the game. So I get back

1258
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:25,920
Speaker 1: around midnight one. Yeah, I know, kn't you have one

1259
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: Thursday and Saturday. Let's go on Saturday and a Sunday.

1260
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 1: You watched Bill's practice a little bit today, Any observations

1261
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 1: what you saw. I just like the fact that the

1262
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 1: guys now are starting to feel like game weeks, you know,

1263
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 1: getting into a routine. Steve, you know all about it

1264
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 1: as a player that transitioned from camp to this is real,

1265
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 1: even though the final cuts haven't happened yet. And you

1266
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 1: know it's different now because we keep ninety. You know,

1267
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 1: you used to feel it as it went along, all right, guy,

1268
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 1: you're right, you coke the seventy five and then the

1269
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 1: next one. But now it's still a bunch of guys

1270
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 1: at ninety. But I'm sure the hard part is their

1271
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 1: number of guys on the ninety that know that they're

1272
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 1: not going to be around. Do they stay motivated, do

1273
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 1: they give the coach what they're looking for? All those

1274
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 1: things that go into it. But it feels like a

1275
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 1: true game week and the rookie quarterbacks going to take

1276
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 1: the first snap, and I think everyone's excited about that.

1277
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 1: I thought it was you don't see it too often.

1278
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 1: But now teams are starting to get and they do

1279
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 1: place these games, that third preseason game on a Sunday

1280
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 1: on the weekend, so they can and if they if

1281
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 1: they had a Thursday game, they can still do it

1282
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 1: as a Saturday game. But they run up and they

1283
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:29,640
Speaker 1: and they start the entire week and they run it

1284
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 1: exactly like they want to. In the regular season, they

1285
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 1: didn't take that much time and put that much effort

1286
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 1: into it. You know, back in the nineties when when

1287
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 1: I finished up, it was still like they were still

1288
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 1: thinking about cutting down guys seventy five and all that stuff,

1289
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 1: and they had two cuts or three cut down days.

1290
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 1: Now they get just to the one and they allows

1291
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:49,160
Speaker 1: them to say, listen, we're gonna run this just like

1292
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: just like just like season, the more prepped you are,

1293
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:53,360
Speaker 1: the better off it is right now. And it's a

1294
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 1: great idea. You know, the truth of the matter is

1295
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 1: if you've seen something before, now the mystery's gone. Everything's

1296
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 1: taking care now you just go do it and that's

1297
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 1: that's what they're gonna do this week, and when you

1298
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 1: play for real, it'll feel the same. You've seen some

1299
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 1: guys before the Bill's draft of the first two round.

1300
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 1: You know, Josh, Allen, Tremaine, Edmunds. You saw him practice today.

1301
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 1: When you know, what do you think? I enjoyed watching

1302
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:17,960
Speaker 1: Josh go through as the guy today. It felt it

1303
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 1: looked comfortable from a distance. You know, it looked like

1304
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 1: he was assuming the role just fine. I think he's

1305
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's funny for a first round pick that

1306
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 1: someone moved up to get. He's taken enough knocks and

1307
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 1: dings along the way that it hasn't been smooth for him.

1308
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 1: A lot of guys who when you're the first round pick,

1309
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 1: everything's fairly smooth, meaning it's nothing but love. Well, Josh

1310
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 1: is getting nothing but love here in Buffalo. But outside

1311
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 1: of Buffalo, he's got to deal with the Jalen Ramsey article.

1312
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 1: He's got to deal with all of us so called

1313
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 1: draft experts that when he came out, was he accurate

1314
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 1: enough as a thrower, and should he be this and that?

1315
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 1: So I think he feels like he's got plenty to prove,

1316
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 1: and I think that that's fun for him. And then

1317
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 1: with Tremaine, I know we harp on his age. Forget

1318
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 1: the age this guy. When he gets comfortable, you'll be

1319
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 1: able to plug him in so many places. And with

1320
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 1: defensive minds like Shaun's and Leslies, they'll be able to

1321
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 1: take him and move him all over this place. Draws

1322
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 1: back to Josh Allen for a minute. What were your

1323
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 1: impressions of him like when you saw him at the

1324
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 1: Senior Bowling Mobile in the run up to the draft,

1325
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:17,960
Speaker 1: and how do they compare with what you think of

1326
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 1: him now after a couple of preseasons. You know, it's

1327
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 1: funny running up to the draft doing the tape watching him.

1328
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 1: I saw plenty of the things that people have talked about,

1329
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 1: you know, the stride and the accuracy of the football.

1330
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 1: And when we talk about accuracy, it's not just did

1331
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:33,160
Speaker 1: the guy complete the past? Steve will tell you was

1332
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 1: the ball in the right spot so I can keep running?

1333
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:37,440
Speaker 1: Did he throw it to my back shoulder so I

1334
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't run into the safety and take a hit. You know,

1335
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:42,600
Speaker 1: all those things that we're talking about. But you knew

1336
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 1: the potential was there. You knew the athleticism was there,

1337
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 1: and you know what really caught my eye was his

1338
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 1: pro day. Now, I know pro days are fraught with

1339
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 1: some guys that you know, Jeff George had one of

1340
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:54,240
Speaker 1: the greatest pro days ever. Gian Manzel had a fantastic

1341
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 1: pro day. It doesn't always work out the way you expect,

1342
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:00,120
Speaker 1: But in his pro day, I saw the improvement. I

1343
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,320
Speaker 1: saw the shortening of stride. I saw I saw the

1344
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:05,200
Speaker 1: accuracy improving because of that. So I knew right away,

1345
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 1: and I knew it before. He's a worker. That wasn't

1346
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:09,640
Speaker 1: a real issue. And the last thing I'll say is

1347
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 1: sitting there on draft Day and sitting there and then

1348
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 1: here comes that mess with the tweets when he was

1349
01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 1: a kid and all that I knew Josh, and I

1350
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:22,920
Speaker 1: felt like I was able to stand up and here

1351
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 1: I am, as a African American black man. I know

1352
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:28,920
Speaker 1: this kid. He was a high school kid, and most

1353
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:31,800
Speaker 1: of what I saw was retweets of rap lyrics. Yeah,

1354
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:34,520
Speaker 1: and I'll be honest with you, we put people in

1355
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: some tough spots with some of the lyrics that come

1356
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 1: out there. Sure, and you're gonna tell this kid, well, anyway,

1357
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 1: all I'm saying is I knew, I knew his heart,

1358
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:43,800
Speaker 1: so I wasn't worried about him at all, and now

1359
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:47,320
Speaker 1: I'm seeing a very comfortable kid. I think he expected

1360
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 1: to possibly not start this season. But the doors open

1361
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:52,920
Speaker 1: now and Sunday will tell the tale, and I think

1362
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 1: he's ready to sprint through it. We were asking our

1363
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 1: listeners yesterday what does he have to look like in

1364
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 1: Sunday's game in order to be the starter set. I

1365
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:03,640
Speaker 1: think I used the word comfortable before. I think taking

1366
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:06,560
Speaker 1: the play calls in from Brian day, Bowl and staff,

1367
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 1: being able to get him in and out of the

1368
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 1: huddle and execute it properly, being able to make you

1369
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 1: know the play changes when they when when they show up,

1370
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 1: letting that natural athleticism come out like that one in Cleveland,

1371
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 1: that play in Cleveland. I still rave about it because

1372
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:23,440
Speaker 1: we get we keep talking about athletic quarterbacks. I think

1373
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:26,000
Speaker 1: in people's minds that means breaking the pocket, sprinting to

1374
01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 1: the sideline, coming back the other way, making that play,

1375
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 1: his movement inside the pocket for a guy who seems

1376
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 1: to be seven feet tall at times. How about those

1377
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:38,880
Speaker 1: depth little moves, slide move you know, get the shoulders

1378
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:41,440
Speaker 1: drill and then and then look at the climb right

1379
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 1: there and then a laser shot bam. Everything that you

1380
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 1: saw that he possessed in college and you wanted more consistency.

1381
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 1: I think it'll come with time, and it's starting to

1382
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 1: come already. But like I said, that doors open for

1383
01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 1: him now because unfortunately for AJ McCarron with his injury,

1384
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 1: the doors open for Josh, and I think they will

1385
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 1: quit himself. Well. On Sunday we had a big, long

1386
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 1: discussion about this, and Sean McDermott maybe said it as

1387
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:07,480
Speaker 1: ascinctly as any of us said, we all know what

1388
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 1: it's supposed to look like. If it looks like that.

1389
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 1: Basically he didn't say this, I'm saying, what are you

1390
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:16,240
Speaker 1: waiting on? Yeah? And that the truth? And that what

1391
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 1: was the old Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart? Yeah, right,

1392
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 1: what's the definition of pornography? I know when I say it? Right, Well,

1393
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:24,160
Speaker 1: we know what a quarterback looks like. We know what

1394
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:27,240
Speaker 1: a young man looks like who's assuming the role. I

1395
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 1: feel like Josh is getting there and I can't wait

1396
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 1: to see the game on Sunday. One more thing about

1397
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:33,800
Speaker 1: the game on Sunday, maybe, aside from the game on Sunday,

1398
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 1: the other quarterback Andy Dalton. What a great story. Fantastic

1399
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 1: You're right. I mean, I can't recall anything remotely like

1400
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:42,960
Speaker 1: that in recent NFL. Well, to me, it's it's two

1401
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 1: things come together. One. If you guys have ever met

1402
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:48,439
Speaker 1: spending time with Andy Dalton, he's one of the best

1403
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:50,560
Speaker 1: young people in this game. I mean, if you talk

1404
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:53,000
Speaker 1: about a true ambassador that you want for the NFL,

1405
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:57,800
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, his wife JJ, they epitomize it. Just wonderful people.

1406
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 1: They walk the walk. Okay, they're talking about they're there

1407
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:05,080
Speaker 1: for it. Pair that with the people of Buffalo right now,

1408
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 1: you're talking about two fantastic groups coming together. And when

1409
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:13,480
Speaker 1: he throws a touchdown pass two Boyd, Now this happens,

1410
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:17,840
Speaker 1: and the Buffalo people so excited. Seventeen years and you know,

1411
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 1: here comes four hundred thousand dollars in seventeen dollars increments. Yeah, right,

1412
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:26,400
Speaker 1: and Tyler Boyd his foundation over one hundred thousand dollars

1413
01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:29,440
Speaker 1: from Buffalo people. So that just tells you about great

1414
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 1: people matching up with great people. And now they'll get

1415
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:33,960
Speaker 1: a chance to hug it out on Sunday. And you're right,

1416
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:36,040
Speaker 1: that's gonna be great because I've sat down with Andy

1417
01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 1: and he is one of those guys that's like, wow,

1418
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:41,120
Speaker 1: you know what a genuine person really And I think

1419
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:44,080
Speaker 1: that's why, you know, he's been so as successful as

1420
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:46,600
Speaker 1: he has in Cincinnati, and I think that's probably going

1421
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:48,400
Speaker 1: to continue for him this year, depending on how their

1422
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 1: team looks. I think Marvin Lewis said it best to us.

1423
01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 1: We had a talk with him, the head coach of

1424
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:54,160
Speaker 1: the Bengals, and he said, you know, you get Andy

1425
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:56,280
Speaker 1: as a as a rookie, and you know he's trying

1426
01:05:56,320 --> 01:05:58,520
Speaker 1: to get along with everyone. The second year, he became

1427
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:00,440
Speaker 1: the leader of our offensive. Third year he became the

1428
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:03,760
Speaker 1: leader of our team. So the progression was there for

1429
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:06,240
Speaker 1: him and they've continued. I remember they went to the

1430
01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 1: playoffs the first five years of his career. Yeah, so

1431
01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 1: he's ready to get back there as well. Charles, thanks

1432
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:12,440
Speaker 1: for this. We gotta let you get to Pittsburgh and

1433
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:14,120
Speaker 1: we'll see you here on Sunday. It's good to see

01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:28,840
Speaker 1: spends a lot of time down in Carolina for the

1459
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:32,240
Speaker 1: purpose of work. My partner on The Bill's broadcast color

1462
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo. How you doing today, I'm well, guys.

1463
01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:42,160
Speaker 1: Always a pleasure, It's great to have you. We've we've

1464
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:43,760
Speaker 1: talked a lot about this game, and I know you've

1465
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 1: done a lot of homework on this game. A preseason

1466
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:48,880
Speaker 1: game number three typically the dress rehearsal game. Do you

1467
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:52,480
Speaker 1: think that will be the case this Sunday, Mark, Yeah,

1468
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:56,240
Speaker 1: Sure seems like it, particularly with the situation situation with

1469
01:07:56,360 --> 01:08:01,400
Speaker 1: a J. Mccaren and, and this offense continues to evolve

1470
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:03,880
Speaker 1: under coach day Balls, and it'll be interesting to see

1471
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 1: what they do. It looked to me like last week

1472
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:10,960
Speaker 1: they tried a couple different schematic philosophies in and they

1473
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:13,000
Speaker 1: ought to strike the one out of the book because

1474
01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:15,560
Speaker 1: they went four to three and out. So I think

1475
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:17,960
Speaker 1: if they were trying to figure out what scheme they're

1476
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:21,680
Speaker 1: trying to go with offensively, they were able to make

1477
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:24,840
Speaker 1: some decisions after last week's performance in Cleveland. What was

1478
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:28,080
Speaker 1: that scheme that they should strike? What did you see? Well,

1479
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:30,519
Speaker 1: I mean they were very vanilla. They were using twenty

1480
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 1: one personnel. There wasn't a lot of pre snap movement.

1481
01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:37,160
Speaker 1: There wasn't a lot of personnel substitutions. So in my mind,

1482
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:39,600
Speaker 1: I mean the most important thing, and I think this

1483
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:42,280
Speaker 1: is what coach day ball. It seems like this is

1484
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:43,880
Speaker 1: what he's trying to do. I don't want to put

1485
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:46,200
Speaker 1: words in his mouth, but I mean, if I'm an

1486
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 1: offensive guy, the thing that I want to do to

1487
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 1: the defense is I want to create indecisiveness in them

1488
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:55,920
Speaker 1: because that slows their reaction time. And how do you

1489
01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:59,439
Speaker 1: create indecisiveness, Well, there's a couple of ways. A lot

1490
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:02,559
Speaker 1: of personnel substitutions, so they have to think about where

1491
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:05,479
Speaker 1: they need to be a lot of spots on the field.

1492
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 1: You're moving offensive personnel everywhere, so you get guys out

1493
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 1: of the typical positions where they find themselves in so

1494
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:14,640
Speaker 1: they're not as comfortable. And then there's a lot of

1495
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:16,880
Speaker 1: pre snap moving so they have to think at the

1496
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:20,240
Speaker 1: beginning of the down. That gives the offense an opportunity

1497
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:23,720
Speaker 1: to have early separation in the down and the quarterbacks

1498
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:26,479
Speaker 1: grew out of the ball quickly, and so that's I mean,

1499
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:28,840
Speaker 1: I think that's that's what the philosophy is. And if

1500
01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:31,519
Speaker 1: they can pre determine what the defense is, all the

1501
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:34,000
Speaker 1: better because then the ball can come out of the

1502
01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 1: quarterback's hand really quickly. Mark it seems to me, And

1503
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:39,200
Speaker 1: you pointed it out in the Carolina game, the first

1504
01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:42,679
Speaker 1: preseason game. That was kind of the offensive plan against Carolina,

1505
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 1: and they didn't follow up with that, which leads me

1506
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:46,680
Speaker 1: to believe maybe they felt like they didn't want to

1507
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:49,360
Speaker 1: show that anymore. Two opponents, regular season opponents. What do

1508
01:09:49,439 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 1: you think? Yeah, that thought came to mind as well.

1509
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:56,559
Speaker 1: Said that I find it odd that they didn't want

1510
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:59,720
Speaker 1: to show it with AJ McCarron, who I think had

1511
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 1: a opportunity to have the starting role on opening day

1512
01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:05,519
Speaker 1: if he played well. I don't know why they wouldn't

1513
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:07,160
Speaker 1: show at least a little bit of it, But I

1514
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 1: can understand they certainly want it. Don't want to unveil

1515
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 1: all the offensive packages that they're attempting to run. The

1516
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:14,840
Speaker 1: Other thing I thought is, Hey, we're gonna see if

1517
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:17,920
Speaker 1: we can line up in twenty one personnel and run

1518
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:20,720
Speaker 1: the football against a really good run defense. I think

1519
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:23,760
Speaker 1: Cleveland was number seven and six or seven, I mean

1520
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:25,840
Speaker 1: gave up less than one hundred yards a game last year,

1521
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 1: So that may have been the theory as well, and

1522
01:10:28,439 --> 01:10:30,919
Speaker 1: we found out that they're not really able to execute

1523
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:32,880
Speaker 1: at that level yet. Yeah, I think that's one of

1524
01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:35,080
Speaker 1: the things I saw two Mark. They were experimenting a

1525
01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:36,760
Speaker 1: little bit. They got to find out what their own

1526
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:40,720
Speaker 1: guys can do as well as in different combinations, and

1527
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 1: they also wanted to see, if you know, if they

1528
01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:44,640
Speaker 1: just had the personnel to go out and run it

1529
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:46,880
Speaker 1: when they wanted to against whoever they wanted to do it.

1530
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 1: And Cleveland was a really good test. You're right, they

1531
01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:52,240
Speaker 1: were a top ten run defense last year and at

1532
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:55,400
Speaker 1: times they were even better than that. So I think

1533
01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:58,840
Speaker 1: I think I saw and you're I'm like you. I

1534
01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:02,080
Speaker 1: tried to deduce what the coaching staff was thinking by

1535
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:04,600
Speaker 1: what they did in the game, and I think I

1536
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:07,280
Speaker 1: think they were trying some things. I don't think they were.

1537
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:09,240
Speaker 1: They were, and mostly they were trying to do it

1538
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:13,800
Speaker 1: while evaluating the individual guys along the line on the

1539
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:17,840
Speaker 1: offensive front. Is that the way you take it overall? Yeah? Yeah,

1540
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:20,720
Speaker 1: I would agree with that sentiment, Stephen. And well, the

1541
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:22,600
Speaker 1: other thing that was kind of different for me is

1542
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:25,480
Speaker 1: I mean Greg Williams was bringing a lot of packages.

1543
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:28,480
Speaker 1: He was slamming the defensive line top in the backside

1544
01:11:28,520 --> 01:11:31,200
Speaker 1: and and bringing the two linebackers as well, like a

1545
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:34,400
Speaker 1: double crash off the edge, and I mean that's that's

1546
01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:37,760
Speaker 1: something that I don't think this offensive line group, because

1547
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:40,200
Speaker 1: none of them have really played together for any length

1548
01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 1: of time and not in a regular season game, don't

1549
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:46,000
Speaker 1: think they're that familiar with some of those packages. And

1550
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:48,680
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett looked like he was coming down inside a

1551
01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:51,480
Speaker 1: lot and they were having a little bit of difficulty

1552
01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:53,880
Speaker 1: with some of those stunts that the front seven of

1553
01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 1: Cleveland employed. So they, I mean they got a little

1554
01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:00,800
Speaker 1: lesson in how to handle those things for that happened

1555
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 1: in a preseason game. And oh, you need experience, as

1556
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:07,080
Speaker 1: you know, Steve, you need I mean, you need that

1557
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:08,600
Speaker 1: time and you need to be able to see it

1558
01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 1: because sometimes you're gonna get beat on it once or

1559
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:14,120
Speaker 1: twice and then hopefully that that gives you an idea

1560
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:15,840
Speaker 1: of how to figure it out, how to set your

1561
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:18,120
Speaker 1: feet and what you need to do to defeat that

1562
01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:20,280
Speaker 1: stunt the next time you see it. We're on the

1563
01:12:20,320 --> 01:12:23,360
Speaker 1: line with Mark Kelso, Bills radio color analysts. Mark and

1564
01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:25,519
Speaker 1: I'll be calling the game on Sunday. Sal Capato will

1565
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:28,680
Speaker 1: be on the sidelines the Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals. Mark,

1566
01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:30,840
Speaker 1: what do you make of the decision to start Josh

1567
01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:34,560
Speaker 1: Allen this Sunday against Cincinnati? And there's a it's a

1568
01:12:34,640 --> 01:12:37,720
Speaker 1: double edge question. What does Josh have to do this

1569
01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:42,559
Speaker 1: Sunday to perhaps to be the starter on September ninth. Well,

1570
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:45,160
Speaker 1: the first thing I make of it is that that

1571
01:12:45,320 --> 01:12:49,040
Speaker 1: AJ McCarron is not available, and I'm not I haven't

1572
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:52,280
Speaker 1: seen the breadth of practices in all of training camp,

1573
01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:53,840
Speaker 1: and I know there's a lot of decisions that are

1574
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 1: made through through those practices as well, not just performances

1575
01:12:57,320 --> 01:13:01,599
Speaker 1: in preseason games. But I would say that I mean, again,

1576
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:03,880
Speaker 1: just what the experience he's had and the fact that

1577
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:06,639
Speaker 1: he's ted eleven games he's played, and I don't think

1578
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:08,840
Speaker 1: it's eleven starts to be eleven games he's played drought

1579
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:11,000
Speaker 1: the courts of his career, I would think that he

1580
01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:13,280
Speaker 1: would be slated if in fact he was healthy. But

1581
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:16,320
Speaker 1: now it's an opportunity for Josh to kind of take

1582
01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:18,600
Speaker 1: the reins. He's played very well in the preseason. I

1583
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:21,960
Speaker 1: mean all three quarterbacks really have saved that early drive,

1584
01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:27,680
Speaker 1: early few series by AJ last week because of the game,

1585
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:30,760
Speaker 1: what the fields were trying to do schematically. And now

1586
01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:33,080
Speaker 1: he has an opportunity to take the rains and he's

1587
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:36,280
Speaker 1: done really well. He's used his legs well to buy

1588
01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:39,280
Speaker 1: additional time and kept his eyes down the field to

1589
01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:42,880
Speaker 1: throw the Streeterer last week was fantastic. To throw the

1590
01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:45,840
Speaker 1: Ray Ray McCloud in the first game was really good.

1591
01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:48,200
Speaker 1: So I think they're saying, hey, if we can if

1592
01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:51,960
Speaker 1: we can execute offensively the way we want to and

1593
01:13:52,479 --> 01:13:55,600
Speaker 1: give him a really good pre snap indication of what

1594
01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:58,560
Speaker 1: the defense is going to be, we can simplify his

1595
01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:01,960
Speaker 1: decision making process. And if he plays well, I would

1596
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:04,640
Speaker 1: not be surprised at all if if that gives him

1597
01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:07,880
Speaker 1: an opportunity to be slated as the starting quarterback in

1598
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:12,160
Speaker 1: Baltimore on opening Day. So you're saying, if how good

1599
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:14,439
Speaker 1: he So you're saying, how good does he have to play?

1600
01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:16,800
Speaker 1: I mean, do you think it's it comes down to

1601
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 1: his production on Sunday or do you think you know,

1602
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:23,360
Speaker 1: how close do you think they are to making that decision.

1603
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 1: I think he has to sustain drives. If he can

1604
01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:29,960
Speaker 1: put together some eight and ten play drives and they

1605
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:31,880
Speaker 1: can put points on the other side of it, I

1606
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:34,840
Speaker 1: think that's the information that they need to say he's

1607
01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:36,679
Speaker 1: going to start on opening Day. And if he does

1608
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:39,680
Speaker 1: that and that first team offense has some productibility or

1609
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:43,080
Speaker 1: is that a word even productibility? Production? If they have

1610
01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:48,599
Speaker 1: some production on against against the Bengals, which by the way,

1611
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:51,479
Speaker 1: I know these guys, it's it's a preseason game, but

1612
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:54,040
Speaker 1: they have one of the better, if not the best,

1613
01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:57,439
Speaker 1: collection of defensive linemen with those and three of them

1614
01:14:57,520 --> 01:15:01,720
Speaker 1: in particular with Dunlap and Gens and Michael Johnson. I mean,

1615
01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:04,280
Speaker 1: those guys have been playing at an extremely high level

1616
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:06,720
Speaker 1: for a long time, and so you're not going to

1617
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:10,160
Speaker 1: face a better, better three and whatever whoever that fourth

1618
01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:12,320
Speaker 1: guy is, it remains to be seen, I guess from them.

1619
01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:14,880
Speaker 1: But if they can sustain drives and put points on

1620
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 1: the other end of it and not make mistakes, make

1621
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:20,680
Speaker 1: good decisions if you get rush, turn your back like

1622
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:22,880
Speaker 1: he did last week when they played Flitz off the

1623
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:24,960
Speaker 1: edge of the cornerback, and he gave that playoff and

1624
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:28,680
Speaker 1: then this one to try instead of throwing the ball

1625
01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:31,880
Speaker 1: down field in a panic and creating a bad play

1626
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:33,960
Speaker 1: for the offense and turning the ball over. If he

1627
01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:37,720
Speaker 1: can protect the football and sustain some drives, I think

1628
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:41,120
Speaker 1: he has a really good opportunity to take hold of

1629
01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:44,679
Speaker 1: that starting position he mark. Everybody's focused on the quarterbacks

1630
01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:46,920
Speaker 1: as as expected. You know a lot of attention on

1631
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:49,960
Speaker 1: Josh Allen our twitter poll question today and I want

1632
01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:52,479
Speaker 1: to get you in on this. Which Bills player do

1633
01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:55,080
Speaker 1: you want to see more from Sunday against the Mangels.

1634
01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:58,200
Speaker 1: Let's seat the quarterbacks aside. We offered folks the choice

1635
01:15:58,200 --> 01:15:59,639
Speaker 1: do you want to see more from and buy more?

1636
01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:01,840
Speaker 1: I mean more plays and even more production? You want

1637
01:16:01,840 --> 01:16:04,479
Speaker 1: to see more from Zay Jones, more from Corey Coleman,

1638
01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:06,519
Speaker 1: more from Matt Milano or somebody else? How would you

1639
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:08,599
Speaker 1: vote on that? You? Who are you looking to keep

1640
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:10,479
Speaker 1: an eye on this week as the Bills are going

1641
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:12,160
Speaker 1: to be just a couple of weeks away from opening

1642
01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:15,559
Speaker 1: the season. Yeah, I mean, if those are my only

1643
01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:18,360
Speaker 1: three choices that you can give us some one another

1644
01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:20,800
Speaker 1: one if you've got somebody else. All right, Well, I

1645
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:22,360
Speaker 1: mean I'll give you one of those as well. I

1646
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:25,439
Speaker 1: do think that the run defense had a little bit

1647
01:16:25,439 --> 01:16:28,640
Speaker 1: of difficulty and a couple of times it seemed like

1648
01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:32,400
Speaker 1: again when without knowing the scheme exactly what they're doing.

1649
01:16:32,479 --> 01:16:34,439
Speaker 1: And I don't study a lot of film in the preseason,

1650
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:37,839
Speaker 1: so I'm not I'm not. I don't have that background

1651
01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:40,719
Speaker 1: of information when you're going into a game and exactly

1652
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:42,720
Speaker 1: what they're doing. But it didn't seem to have. Some

1653
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:46,040
Speaker 1: runs that were executed last week, particularly against Cleveland, they

1654
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:49,200
Speaker 1: find some some areas in a cutback lane and got

1655
01:16:49,240 --> 01:16:52,519
Speaker 1: outside a few times. Sometimes it's the defensive backs because

1656
01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:55,960
Speaker 1: they playing man. Sometimes it's a linebackers. So I mean,

1657
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:58,439
Speaker 1: I want Matt Milano to take that job, and I

1658
01:16:58,920 --> 01:17:01,760
Speaker 1: hope that that he continues or he plays well. Not

1659
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 1: to say he didn't, but there. They've certainly ran the

1660
01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:08,120
Speaker 1: ball pretty effectively against the Bill starting defense last week.

1661
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:11,280
Speaker 1: So that's one. Zay Jones, we really haven't seen anything

1662
01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:13,600
Speaker 1: from him, and Corey Coleman. You've got to make a

1663
01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:15,479
Speaker 1: decision on the young man. He's a guy that's not

1664
01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:18,320
Speaker 1: eligible for the practice squad. I'd hate to see him

1665
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:22,120
Speaker 1: not have any production. He caught a pass last week,

1666
01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:24,360
Speaker 1: but you got to see some production, and you got

1667
01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:27,400
Speaker 1: to see some flashes of that feed being engaged in

1668
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:29,800
Speaker 1: a game like situation. If you're going to keep him

1669
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:32,320
Speaker 1: on the roster, so he's gonna have to flash and

1670
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:34,760
Speaker 1: make some plays. I'm still I don't know that the

1671
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:37,680
Speaker 1: defensive line is set for me. How many guys are

1672
01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:41,600
Speaker 1: you gonna keep? Mike Love has been really impressive. We

1673
01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:43,760
Speaker 1: haven't seen Trent Murphy. I mean, are we're going to

1674
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:45,719
Speaker 1: see him this week? I don't know how that's gonna

1675
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:49,439
Speaker 1: shake out. I think Shack Lawson has done a lot,

1676
01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:52,879
Speaker 1: and the one, the one, two, and at the receiver position.

1677
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:55,839
Speaker 1: I could probably go through the whole roster. But Brandon

1678
01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:58,400
Speaker 1: Riley is a young man that thinks played really well.

1679
01:17:58,479 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 1: I think he has a lot of value on special

1680
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:03,519
Speaker 1: teams and I'd hate to see another injury gouts him

1681
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:07,920
Speaker 1: a missed opportunity with making this roster because I think

1682
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:10,639
Speaker 1: he can make it is maybe the I mean he's

1683
01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:13,760
Speaker 1: gonna keep six receivers probably maybe even seven, so I

1684
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:15,760
Speaker 1: think he can make it down the depth chart there

1685
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:18,880
Speaker 1: if if he's going to be productive on special team yeah,

1686
01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:20,719
Speaker 1: I don't know. First of all, the Trent Murphy's gonna

1687
01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:22,400
Speaker 1: play hasn't practiced now in a couple of weeks. And

1688
01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:24,760
Speaker 1: I agree with you on Brandon Riley in the entire

1689
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:28,759
Speaker 1: receiving receiver picture mark you know. After so let's assume,

1690
01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:31,719
Speaker 1: and maybe I'm wrong for assuming that, you know, Calvin Benjamin,

1691
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:34,560
Speaker 1: Jeremy Curley, and Jay Jones are our roster locks. I

1692
01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:36,840
Speaker 1: think it's almost wide open after that for guys like

1693
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:41,599
Speaker 1: Riley or Rod Streeter or several others. Coleman, Corey Coleman, Yeah,

1694
01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:47,120
Speaker 1: Andre Holmes seeing it down the list, lay, I mean,

1695
01:18:47,160 --> 01:18:49,240
Speaker 1: has Andre caught a ball in the preseason. I don't

1696
01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:50,919
Speaker 1: know if he has. I don't know if he's been targeted,

1697
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:52,400
Speaker 1: but I don't. I mean, if he caught one, he

1698
01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:55,920
Speaker 1: caught one or two, but I don't recall many receptions

1699
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:58,840
Speaker 1: by him. I do think Rod Streeter has has done

1700
01:18:58,880 --> 01:19:01,680
Speaker 1: a lot both in special teams game and in the

1701
01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:05,240
Speaker 1: passing game. To to to Really, it's it's gonna be

1702
01:19:05,600 --> 01:19:07,120
Speaker 1: if they don't keep him on the roster, it's going

1703
01:19:07,200 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 1: to be a really difficult decision by that offensive coaching

1704
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:12,519
Speaker 1: staff because I think he's done a lot to h

1705
01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:14,800
Speaker 1: to win him spelt self a roster spot. He's got

1706
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:18,200
Speaker 1: the veteran presence and I think you know from from

1707
01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:21,200
Speaker 1: what I understand, the kind of veteran presence that coach

1708
01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:24,720
Speaker 1: McDermott and coaching staff likes in the locker room. Hey,

1709
01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:27,679
Speaker 1: Mark God, last question for you, the Andy Dalton story

1710
01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:29,800
Speaker 1: coming back to Buffalo. Give me your thoughts on that.

1711
01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:32,400
Speaker 1: I've never seen anything like that in the NFL. Now,

1712
01:19:32,479 --> 01:19:34,400
Speaker 1: I can't wait. I can't wait. I mean, I just

1713
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:37,680
Speaker 1: I've often said, people say, what are Buffalo people like?

1714
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:39,360
Speaker 1: And they said, they give you their shirt off their

1715
01:19:39,360 --> 01:19:42,240
Speaker 1: back on a cold winter day. And uh, I said,

1716
01:19:42,280 --> 01:19:44,919
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, I mean, he's gonna get a rousing ovation.

1717
01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:47,880
Speaker 1: I'm so excited that it's it's kids day. There's gonna

1718
01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:50,200
Speaker 1: be I mean, I hope there's sixty thousand people there.

1719
01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:53,280
Speaker 1: I would suspect there will be. And uh, and it'll

1720
01:19:53,320 --> 01:19:56,200
Speaker 1: be really cool to see when they when they introduced

1721
01:19:56,240 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. I wonder if I wonder if he may

1722
01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:02,760
Speaker 1: come out anyway for the coin toss, typically for Cincinnati.

1723
01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:05,240
Speaker 1: But if he doesn't, typically I would hope that that

1724
01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:07,920
Speaker 1: that the coaching staff there would send him out for

1725
01:20:07,960 --> 01:20:10,880
Speaker 1: the coin toss and and Bill's fans can give their

1726
01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:13,920
Speaker 1: appreciation for for what he and who did he throw

1727
01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:16,720
Speaker 1: it to? It was it uh Tyler Kraft? Was it

1728
01:20:17,120 --> 01:20:21,760
Speaker 1: Tyler Tyler Boyd? Tyler Boyd yet? So yeah, they can.

1729
01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:26,960
Speaker 1: We can express our appreciation for them them doing putting

1730
01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:29,200
Speaker 1: us in the playoffs with that play and and and

1731
01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:31,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure the Dalton Andy and his wife and and

1732
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:36,559
Speaker 1: his foundation. Certainly the contribution, the significant contribution by Bill's

1733
01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:39,639
Speaker 1: fans was was helped a lot of people, and I'm

1734
01:20:39,680 --> 01:20:42,960
Speaker 1: sure he's extremely appreciative of that as well. Marked, looking

1735
01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:44,719
Speaker 1: forward to working with you again out Sunday. It feels

1736
01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:47,320
Speaker 1: like it's been a while a week since we've done

1737
01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:50,560
Speaker 1: a game. Yeah, the preseason's kind of funny, right with

1738
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:53,519
Speaker 1: with all the Sometimes it's a short week, sometimes it's

1739
01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:55,800
Speaker 1: a long week. But I think it's gonna be fun

1740
01:20:55,880 --> 01:20:58,120
Speaker 1: to see the energy in the stadium with with again

1741
01:20:58,200 --> 01:21:00,880
Speaker 1: with Kids' Day and being a time game at four

1742
01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:03,920
Speaker 1: o'clock on Sunday afternoon. So I'm looking forward to thank

1743
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:07,000
Speaker 1: you he too. We'll see there Sunday. Thanks Mark, Mark Kelso,

1744
01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:09,679
Speaker 1: color analysts on the Bills Radio Network. Former Bill Safety

1745
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:12,800
Speaker 1: joined us on the Subway Fresh Take Hotline, Subway Eat Fresh.

1746
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:15,759
Speaker 1: I asked around today, I'm totally it's gonna be sixty

1747
01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:17,640
Speaker 1: thousand plus. They believe here for this game. So the

1748
01:21:17,720 --> 01:21:19,560
Speaker 1: kids days have been a big hit. They started doing it,

1749
01:21:19,640 --> 01:21:21,519
Speaker 1: I don't know, ten years ago or something, and it's

1750
01:21:21,760 --> 01:21:24,680
Speaker 1: it's turned into a tradition. I think for a lot

1751
01:21:24,680 --> 01:21:26,439
Speaker 1: of people in Western you a lot of Bills fans,

1752
01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:28,160
Speaker 1: it's the game they want to take their kids to.

1753
01:21:28,320 --> 01:21:32,040
Speaker 1: The tickets are discounted and and it's fun. It's a

1754
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:35,760
Speaker 1: it's a different type of crowd. And I always mentioned it,

1755
01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:39,360
Speaker 1: the roar of the crowd is different, and yeah it is.

1756
01:21:39,479 --> 01:21:42,360
Speaker 1: It's a I think it's become a tradition in the

1757
01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:44,679
Speaker 1: preseason here in Buffalo, and I think that should continue.

1758
01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:46,200
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a nice one this week this year.

1759
01:21:46,240 --> 01:21:49,240
Speaker 1: I agree with Mark. I do hope that Andy Dalton

1760
01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:51,360
Speaker 1: comes out for the coin toss, right. You would think somehow,

1761
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:54,479
Speaker 1: somehow they should acknowledge him on game day rather than

1762
01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:56,560
Speaker 1: you know, I well, I think they're gonna have like

1763
01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:59,400
Speaker 1: a short video presentation. Maybe that's sort of happy. I

1764
01:21:59,439 --> 01:22:00,720
Speaker 1: don't know they got to do that in person. You

1765
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 1: gotta have the guy on the field so people can

1766
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:06,040
Speaker 1: see them and cheer for him. So I hope they

1767
01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:08,360
Speaker 1: can make that happen. But yeah, there probably will be

1768
01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:10,360
Speaker 1: a video presentation. I know they I don't know if they.

1769
01:22:10,520 --> 01:22:13,240
Speaker 1: They probably don't. They don't interview or interview, they don't

1770
01:22:13,280 --> 01:22:18,280
Speaker 1: introduce the opposing team ever, So somehow, some way it'll happen. Yeah,

1771
01:22:18,360 --> 01:22:20,719
Speaker 1: I think they have plans for something brief and something

1772
01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 1: hopefully memorable. It's just a great story. I mean I

1773
01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:25,759
Speaker 1: kind of I kind of forgot about it during the offseason,

1774
01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:28,080
Speaker 1: but now that they're back and the Bengals are coming

1775
01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:31,360
Speaker 1: here and Dalton's making his contribution to Roswell Park, it

1776
01:22:31,640 --> 01:22:33,559
Speaker 1: hit me again. I've talked about a few times this week.

1777
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:38,360
Speaker 1: What a great, unusual and great, um what story it is.

1778
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:42,960
Speaker 1: It was a great moment for the Buffalo Bills organization,

1779
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:47,600
Speaker 1: and it was a great moment for Bills fans to

1780
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:53,880
Speaker 1: show what they're really like by doing that. Setting themselves

1781
01:22:53,920 --> 01:22:57,280
Speaker 1: on fire, jumping on tables. Yeah, that's I don't know

1782
01:22:57,320 --> 01:23:01,720
Speaker 1: who those people are either way, there could be both,

1783
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:06,519
Speaker 1: I guess, but still it's a great story at both ends.

1784
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:10,160
Speaker 1: And it continued on through and the fact that it

1785
01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:13,519
Speaker 1: became real when it just wasn't that one day, and

1786
01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:15,960
Speaker 1: it's like okay, and the Bills fans forgot about and

1787
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:18,439
Speaker 1: they went on to other things. They kept after it,

1788
01:23:18,520 --> 01:23:23,120
Speaker 1: and they perpetuated this story by contributing all that money.

1789
01:23:23,160 --> 01:23:25,840
Speaker 1: And Andrew Dalton reciprocated by coming back to Buffalo and

1790
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:28,519
Speaker 1: making a big donation. What's enormously good story. What's the

1791
01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:32,400
Speaker 1: weather Sunday? The forecast calls for low clouds and then

1792
01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:35,639
Speaker 1: perhaps some sun, a shower or thunderstorm in the area. Humid.

1793
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:38,120
Speaker 1: It'll be eighty degrees to high on Sunday for the

1794
01:23:38,200 --> 01:23:40,760
Speaker 1: Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals. What are you looking to see?

1795
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:42,920
Speaker 1: Obviously you're looking to see the quarterback, but we'd like

1796
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:44,400
Speaker 1: to hear from you. What else do you want to see?

01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:55,920
Speaker 1: some discussion on what else. There's roster decisions to be made.

1801
01:23:55,960 --> 01:23:58,280
Speaker 1: We are eight days away from the cutdown from I

1802
01:23:58,320 --> 01:23:59,880

Speaker 1: say Matt Milano, seven percent say somebody else. Let's talk

1812
01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:26,760
Speaker 1: about it, give us a call eight oh three fifty

1813
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:29,320
Speaker 1: and twel three one eight eight eight five fifty two

1814
01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:35,160
Speaker 1: five fifty. This, uh, it happens a week from today.

1815
01:24:35,200 --> 01:24:37,759
Speaker 1: I guess let's say their tomorrow the cutdown week from tomorrow,

1816
01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:42,360
Speaker 1: September one, Saturday. That is, it is an unbelievable time

1817
01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:45,240
Speaker 1: in the NFL because the coach you're doing the one

1818
01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:47,040
Speaker 1: thing you don't like to do as coaches, and it's

1819
01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:48,560
Speaker 1: cut players off your team you don't like. You know,

1820
01:24:48,720 --> 01:24:51,000
Speaker 1: you don't like to do it when youth football, you

1821
01:24:51,040 --> 01:24:52,920
Speaker 1: don't like to do in high school football, don't do

1822
01:24:52,960 --> 01:24:58,360
Speaker 1: it in college football. Is the worst weekend of the

1823
01:24:58,400 --> 01:25:02,120
Speaker 1: football season for a of the coaches. Um, forget about

1824
01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:04,800
Speaker 1: being put out of the playoffs. You this this after

1825
01:25:04,840 --> 01:25:08,519
Speaker 1: you've invested yourself into these players. Uh, and you have

1826
01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:10,760
Speaker 1: to say goodbye to a big number of them. It's

1827
01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:12,880
Speaker 1: it's a hard thing to do. And this this game

1828
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:16,840
Speaker 1: coming up, in these next two games, UM, a lot

1829
01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:18,920
Speaker 1: of guy's lives are going to change. And it starts

1830
01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:21,800
Speaker 1: and you know, and it goes both directions. It's kind

1831
01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:23,599
Speaker 1: of change in a big way. Maybe for Josh Allen.

1832
01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:25,640
Speaker 1: It's kind of change in a big way. Maybe for

1833
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:30,200
Speaker 1: a guy like Marcus Murphy, UM, Chris Ivory, maybe Corey

1834
01:25:30,280 --> 01:25:32,760
Speaker 1: Coleman or Zay Jones. It was one of these teams,

1835
01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:35,280
Speaker 1: it could change in a big way for the positive

1836
01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:37,240
Speaker 1: for some of these guys. And of course for like

1837
01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:40,080
Speaker 1: what did you say, thirty eight of them? Um, this

1838
01:25:40,360 --> 01:25:42,519
Speaker 1: these next ten days are going to be enormous for them.

1839
01:25:42,600 --> 01:25:45,280
Speaker 1: It's Uh, do you really wild part of the season

1840
01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:47,680
Speaker 1: as a player's team? Once you got established just a

1841
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:49,400
Speaker 1: year or two in, did you ever sweat out a

1842
01:25:49,439 --> 01:25:53,120
Speaker 1: cutdown day? Yeah? I mean after it took a while.

1843
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:55,720
Speaker 1: Thought my third year in, I went to the Pro

1844
01:25:55,880 --> 01:25:58,160
Speaker 1: Bowl and that was probably the first glimpse of that

1845
01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:00,800
Speaker 1: I got, but he and then when I made my

1846
01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:03,840
Speaker 1: first Pro Bowl as a special teams guy the second

1847
01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:07,439
Speaker 1: year here, first year, first full year here, okay, um,

1848
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:12,280
Speaker 1: I was like, I remember thinking quietly to myself, I

1849
01:26:12,360 --> 01:26:15,720
Speaker 1: wonder how important that is? You know, well, if it

1850
01:26:15,880 --> 01:26:17,760
Speaker 1: matters to make the Pro Bowl? I don't know if

1851
01:26:17,760 --> 01:26:19,840
Speaker 1: that'll keep my job this year? You know what I mean?

1852
01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:21,320
Speaker 1: I was like, I wonder if they really I mean,

1853
01:26:21,400 --> 01:26:24,000
Speaker 1: are they gonna what if somebody really plays well or

1854
01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:26,280
Speaker 1: wide out? You know, what if somebody is that really

1855
01:26:26,360 --> 01:26:29,040
Speaker 1: gonna help me? After you made the Pro Bowl you

1856
01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:30,800
Speaker 1: were worried about my first PROO? Was like, is that

1857
01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:33,200
Speaker 1: really gonna I wonder if that'll help me? How could

1858
01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:37,040
Speaker 1: it hurt? I know it didn't hurt, But what if

1859
01:26:37,080 --> 01:26:38,519
Speaker 1: it matters? Is that what you're thinking? What if it

1860
01:26:38,600 --> 01:26:41,519
Speaker 1: matters if somebody else plays good better or you know,

1861
01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:45,320
Speaker 1: you know, does it you know? I didn't know if

1862
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:47,840
Speaker 1: it was enough. Yeah. I didn't know if it was enough. Wow,

1863
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:50,080
Speaker 1: because because it was last year, it wasn't this year,

1864
01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:52,960
Speaker 1: you know, And you were what twenty four, twenty five

1865
01:26:53,040 --> 01:26:56,840
Speaker 1: years or twenty twenty five or twenty six, yeah or

1866
01:26:56,920 --> 01:26:59,800
Speaker 1: something like that. Yeah, a couple of calls here. Let's

1867
01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:03,160
Speaker 1: take a call from Rick in Cheek Dowaga. Rick, go ahead,

1868
01:27:03,160 --> 01:27:05,639
Speaker 1: you're on the air with his high Yeah, I want

1869
01:27:05,640 --> 01:27:08,280
Speaker 1: to say Tremaine Edwards for your Paul, that's what you

1870
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:09,720
Speaker 1: want to see more from What do you want to

1871
01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:13,639
Speaker 1: see from from me? Just like more of like being

1872
01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:17,160
Speaker 1: in control, like playing fast and you know, setting up

1873
01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:20,120
Speaker 1: the defense and playing fast. Do you think how much

1874
01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:22,439
Speaker 1: do you lay the feet of Tremaine Edmonds the problems

1875
01:27:22,479 --> 01:27:24,320
Speaker 1: they had last week? Do you you think, like, wow,

1876
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:27,519
Speaker 1: Tremaine should have done something different or whatever. He made

1877
01:27:27,520 --> 01:27:30,040
Speaker 1: a few plays last week, no question about it. Um.

1878
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:32,240
Speaker 1: In fact, I thought, and I still think, he played

1879
01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:35,759
Speaker 1: much better against Cleveland than he did against Carolina, although

1880
01:27:36,120 --> 01:27:40,679
Speaker 1: the defense as a whole was probably not as good.

1881
01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:44,040
Speaker 1: But what do you think, I mean, how much of

1882
01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:45,840
Speaker 1: that do you lay at the feet of Tremaine Edmonds

1883
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:50,760
Speaker 1: last week? Rick? Um? Not too much because you know

1884
01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:54,240
Speaker 1: he's new in college. Did he like to call the

1885
01:27:54,280 --> 01:27:56,559
Speaker 1: place with defensive plays in college or the set up

1886
01:27:56,560 --> 01:27:59,800
Speaker 1: a defense? He did? Not? Oh yeah, see that's a bit.

1887
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:02,639
Speaker 1: That's a big step for a rookie, you know. Yeah.

1888
01:28:02,920 --> 01:28:06,320
Speaker 1: But so I mean, even though even though you're giving

1889
01:28:06,400 --> 01:28:08,400
Speaker 1: him a pass because he's a rookie, do you still

1890
01:28:08,439 --> 01:28:11,320
Speaker 1: think it might have been his fault? Oh yeah, yeah,

1891
01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:15,040
Speaker 1: it's a small Yeah, I think so, because he's he's

1892
01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:17,000
Speaker 1: in charge of, you know, setting him up and you know,

1893
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:19,560
Speaker 1: get him to the right position. Yeah. I don't know.

1894
01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:21,160
Speaker 1: I don't know how much of that is. And we

1895
01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:23,599
Speaker 1: could have could have asked Mark Kelso about that if

1896
01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:25,719
Speaker 1: if he was on he would have a better handle

1897
01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:28,200
Speaker 1: on than you than I do. But um, I think

1898
01:28:28,360 --> 01:28:30,720
Speaker 1: some of it. Um, I think some of it did

1899
01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:33,280
Speaker 1: you know, probably is uh late at his feet, But

1900
01:28:33,320 --> 01:28:35,640
Speaker 1: I don't know that. If there's any individual players or

1901
01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:38,200
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of mistackles got loose early, those

1902
01:28:38,240 --> 01:28:41,240
Speaker 1: aren't his faults certainly. But it'll be interesting to see

1903
01:28:41,320 --> 01:28:43,320
Speaker 1: him get better and see if the defense is better

1904
01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:47,599
Speaker 1: as a result. I mean, how could it not be. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1905
01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:49,400
Speaker 1: that's a good it's a good call. Thanks, Rick, I

1906
01:28:49,400 --> 01:28:52,200
Speaker 1: appreciate it. It's um. You know, there are some guys

1907
01:28:52,240 --> 01:28:54,400
Speaker 1: that are definitely going to be on the team that

1908
01:28:55,560 --> 01:28:58,640
Speaker 1: you probably do want to see more from. I mean,

1909
01:28:58,680 --> 01:28:59,960
Speaker 1: do you want to see don't you want to see

1910
01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:02,639
Speaker 1: more from Harrison Phillips and certainly Trent Murphy. We haven't

1911
01:29:02,640 --> 01:29:05,280
Speaker 1: even seen him yet. Murphy, You and I saw him

1912
01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:07,880
Speaker 1: in the first what two practices of camp before he

1913
01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:13,040
Speaker 1: pulled a groin muscle, and we were we were wowed

1914
01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:15,640
Speaker 1: by him. I mean it was it was evident that

1915
01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:17,760
Speaker 1: that guy could rush the past. I'd love to see

1916
01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:19,519
Speaker 1: him play, and it doesn't look like we're gonna get

1917
01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:21,640
Speaker 1: a chance to. No, I don't think so, not this

1918
01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:25,799
Speaker 1: week anyway. Call from Jack in Tonawanda. Hello, Jack, Welcome,

1919
01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:29,200
Speaker 1: How you doing. You think that the Bills we're going

1920
01:29:29,280 --> 01:29:33,479
Speaker 1: to show it to interest in Kalio Mack? And you

1921
01:29:33,640 --> 01:29:36,920
Speaker 1: look pretty good on that left side, wouldn't he He's

1922
01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:40,439
Speaker 1: a great player. Um. Jason lock On FA from CBO

1923
01:29:40,479 --> 01:29:43,320
Speaker 1: sports dot com UH mentioned the other day that the

1924
01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:45,400
Speaker 1: Bills were one of what I think I saw five

1925
01:29:45,479 --> 01:29:51,120
Speaker 1: teams that have expressed interests, the Jets, the Colts, Green Bay, Chicago,

1926
01:29:51,200 --> 01:29:53,920
Speaker 1: and the Bills. Um. Now, of course the Bills are

1927
01:29:53,960 --> 01:29:56,240
Speaker 1: gonna call about Khalil Mack. I don't know why you

1928
01:29:56,280 --> 01:29:59,120
Speaker 1: have thirty one teams exactly. What are you're not gonna

1929
01:29:59,160 --> 01:30:01,479
Speaker 1: call about that guy? That guy's unbelievable and I think

1930
01:30:01,520 --> 01:30:05,200
Speaker 1: The connection is obvious to Khalil Mack to Buffalo because

1931
01:30:05,200 --> 01:30:09,080
Speaker 1: he went to UBU. Don't think that that gives the

1932
01:30:09,160 --> 01:30:12,439
Speaker 1: Bills any inside track. All it means is I think

1933
01:30:12,520 --> 01:30:14,559
Speaker 1: for most of us to know that Khalil Mack wouldn't

1934
01:30:14,600 --> 01:30:17,240
Speaker 1: mind playing in Buffalo if he got the chance. It

1935
01:30:17,280 --> 01:30:19,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't be like one of those guys where you know

1936
01:30:19,800 --> 01:30:21,920
Speaker 1: his wife is not gonna move here and they don't

1937
01:30:21,960 --> 01:30:26,080
Speaker 1: like it, and you know they whatever. Khalil Mack likes Buffalo,

1938
01:30:26,280 --> 01:30:30,960
Speaker 1: no question about it. That doesn't mean he's banging on

1939
01:30:31,120 --> 01:30:33,720
Speaker 1: John Gruden's desk demanding to be traded to Buffalo. He

1940
01:30:33,840 --> 01:30:36,519
Speaker 1: likes a good contract too. Yeah, he likes I'm sure

1941
01:30:36,680 --> 01:30:39,680
Speaker 1: he likes. He likes the Raiders. It's believe me. All

1942
01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:41,720
Speaker 1: this stuff about Kalil Mack is fun. It's fun to

1943
01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:43,800
Speaker 1: talk about it, and it's interesting because he's a great

1944
01:30:43,840 --> 01:30:45,920
Speaker 1: player who's not playing a lot like Aaron Donald for

1945
01:30:45,920 --> 01:30:49,439
Speaker 1: the Rams. Khalil Mack's gonna suit up and play for

1946
01:30:49,560 --> 01:30:52,439
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders this year. You're sure about that. I'm

1947
01:30:52,479 --> 01:30:55,160
Speaker 1: pretty sure about that. Yeah, I'm pretty sure about Not

1948
01:30:55,320 --> 01:30:57,600
Speaker 1: so sure about that, I'm pretty sure about I know

1949
01:30:57,680 --> 01:31:00,719
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald will. Yeah, I think Donald close and dons

1950
01:31:00,760 --> 01:31:02,439
Speaker 1: been for wait for the Rams. I mean we've seen

1951
01:31:02,479 --> 01:31:04,920
Speaker 1: that from him before. We haven't seen this from Khalil Mack.

1952
01:31:05,479 --> 01:31:07,680
Speaker 1: But who do we have on the show? Um? The

1953
01:31:07,800 --> 01:31:11,240
Speaker 1: other day? Was it Rappaport? Rappaport said, there's real serious

1954
01:31:11,360 --> 01:31:13,600
Speaker 1: bad blood between Mac and the Raiders right now, and

1955
01:31:13,680 --> 01:31:15,439
Speaker 1: a lot of it starts right to talking the new

1956
01:31:15,479 --> 01:31:20,040
Speaker 1: head coach apparently doesn't hold him in that high regard, right, Okay, Well, yeah, well,

1957
01:31:20,160 --> 01:31:23,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, thought'll be that's something to follow, not

1958
01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:26,639

1983
01:32:49,320 --> 01:32:52,000
Speaker 1: We'll have the call of the game. The Cincinnati Bengals

1984
01:32:52,040 --> 01:32:55,000
Speaker 1: released defensive tackle Chris Baker this morning, the second team

1985
01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:57,280
Speaker 1: to cut him over the last six months, Tampa may

1986
01:32:57,400 --> 01:32:59,760
Speaker 1: let him go after just one season. Bengal signed Baker

1987
01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:02,200
Speaker 1: to a one year deal back in the spring. They

1988
01:33:02,280 --> 01:33:04,679
Speaker 1: saved two million dollars on the cap by parting ways

1989
01:33:04,720 --> 01:33:07,880
Speaker 1: with the defensive tackle. The Raiders have waived their second

1990
01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:10,600
Speaker 1: round draft pick from a year ago, Obi Melifonye. He

1991
01:33:10,760 --> 01:33:15,639
Speaker 1: was waved injured yesterday. Simultaneously, the Raiders confirmed the signing

1992
01:33:15,720 --> 01:33:19,639
Speaker 1: the veteran corner Dominique Rodgers Cromartin. Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor

1993
01:33:19,680 --> 01:33:22,000
Speaker 1: suffered a left hand injury in the first quarter of

1994
01:33:22,120 --> 01:33:25,200
Speaker 1: their preseason game against Philadelphia last night. The Browns beat

1995
01:33:25,240 --> 01:33:28,479
Speaker 1: the Eagles five to nothing, and Taylor, rolling out of

1996
01:33:28,479 --> 01:33:30,720
Speaker 1: the pocket to avoid pressure, fell to the ground and

1997
01:33:30,800 --> 01:33:33,880
Speaker 1: replay show his left wrists spent backward. He was favoring

1998
01:33:33,920 --> 01:33:36,040
Speaker 1: the arm as he walked off after the play. Returned

1999
01:33:36,080 --> 01:33:39,679
Speaker 1: to the game, however, and he is undergoing more evaluation today.

2000
01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:42,439
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior getting close to a contract with the

2001
01:33:42,479 --> 01:33:44,720
Speaker 1: New York Giants, both sides hoping to have it done

2002
01:33:44,720 --> 01:33:47,120
Speaker 1: before the start of the regular season. The Giants and

2003
01:33:47,200 --> 01:33:49,479
Speaker 1: Beckham have made progress on what's expected to be a

2004
01:33:49,840 --> 01:33:53,040
Speaker 1: record breaking deal for a wide receiver and six preseason

2005
01:33:53,120 --> 01:33:55,719
Speaker 1: games in the NFL. Tonight, the Jets at home against

2006
01:33:55,720 --> 01:33:57,920

2012
01:34:14,600 --> 01:34:17,439
Speaker 1: a polite golf clap, but still okay, I'll take it. Yeah,

2013
01:34:17,439 --> 01:34:19,960
Speaker 1: I like it, especially not a rousing ovation, but it's

2014
01:34:21,600 --> 01:34:23,800
Speaker 1: you're just here the other day. I'm looking Tuesday you

Speaker 1: He had practice, They got a full weekend, yeah, which

2018
01:34:31,479 --> 01:34:34,280
Speaker 1: was great. You know, got back into that regular season

2019
01:34:34,360 --> 01:34:38,280
Speaker 1: type of routine and uh installed and game playing for

2020
01:34:38,360 --> 01:34:41,160
Speaker 1: the Bengals this weekend. So it's been good. It's actually

2021
01:34:41,280 --> 01:34:44,120
Speaker 1: it helps the week pass a little bit quicker because

2022
01:34:44,200 --> 01:34:47,519
Speaker 1: you are you know, you have certain benchmarks throughout the

2023
01:34:47,560 --> 01:34:49,559
Speaker 1: week that you're hitting and then the week just kind

2024
01:34:49,560 --> 01:34:52,040
Speaker 1: of flies by, so you know, have fast Friday today

2025
01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:54,120
Speaker 1: and now tomorrow we'll have the mock game and then

2026
01:34:54,240 --> 01:34:57,639
Speaker 1: be playing before we know it. Routine makes everything go faster. Yeah,

2027
01:34:57,680 --> 01:35:00,040
Speaker 1: it makes things just it speeds it up to the

2028
01:35:00,160 --> 01:35:03,920
Speaker 1: regular season. Manse those weeks, manow it's week fifteen all

2029
01:35:03,920 --> 01:35:05,639
Speaker 1: of a sudden, exactly, and then you know it kind

2030
01:35:05,640 --> 01:35:08,280
Speaker 1: of breaks up the mountainous of training camp because each

2031
01:35:08,360 --> 01:35:10,240
Speaker 1: day is a different day. You know, first, second down,

2032
01:35:10,360 --> 01:35:12,599
Speaker 1: third down, red zone, gold line. You know, it kind

2033
01:35:12,600 --> 01:35:14,519
Speaker 1: of works his way out throughout the week, so you

2034
01:35:14,600 --> 01:35:17,000
Speaker 1: don't get tired of things because you're constantly learning. I

2035
01:35:17,040 --> 01:35:18,479
Speaker 1: didn't want to get off the subject, but I want

2036
01:35:18,479 --> 01:35:20,120
Speaker 1: to go back and John mentioned it in the update

2037
01:35:20,160 --> 01:35:24,680
Speaker 1: about Tyrod hurting his wrist, yeah yesterday, and then Hugh

2038
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:27,880
Speaker 1: Jackson getting kind of crushed for putting Tyrod back in

2039
01:35:27,960 --> 01:35:30,840
Speaker 1: the game after he was hurt in that prescon. Here's

2040
01:35:30,920 --> 01:35:32,760
Speaker 1: my take on that. And I want to hear what

2041
01:35:32,880 --> 01:35:36,320
Speaker 1: you say. They didn't put Tyrod back in that game.

2042
01:35:36,360 --> 01:35:39,040
Speaker 1: They allowed him to go back in. He was Tyrod's

2043
01:35:39,040 --> 01:35:41,240
Speaker 1: going back in the game. Tyrod wanted to go back

2044
01:35:41,240 --> 01:35:42,719
Speaker 1: in there. Yeah, I think at that point it probably

2045
01:35:42,880 --> 01:35:44,599
Speaker 1: was his call because if he wanted to come out here,

2046
01:35:44,720 --> 01:35:47,320
Speaker 1: he could. He has that type of cloud to do that.

2047
01:35:47,439 --> 01:35:50,519
Speaker 1: He's that guy. Plus Tyrod doesn't want to come out

2048
01:35:50,520 --> 01:35:54,400
Speaker 1: of the game. Put Baker Mayfield in. I'm pretty sure

2049
01:35:54,479 --> 01:35:57,400
Speaker 1: something that's on there too. Tyrod got traded from a team,

2050
01:35:57,439 --> 01:35:59,800
Speaker 1: he got to the playoffs, right, He's going there. He's

2051
01:35:59,800 --> 01:36:04,040
Speaker 1: got another opportunity to start. There is no way Tyrod

2052
01:36:04,760 --> 01:36:07,120
Speaker 1: is gonna give Baker Mayfield the keys of the car

2053
01:36:08,320 --> 01:36:11,920
Speaker 1: going pry those keys out of his hand, right, And

2054
01:36:12,040 --> 01:36:14,360
Speaker 1: that's why I went back in their shows from gritsfness

2055
01:36:14,400 --> 01:36:16,519
Speaker 1: and finished the game. I am fine, I'm fine, right,

2056
01:36:16,920 --> 01:36:20,400
Speaker 1: I'm good. Part two of that. The next question is

2057
01:36:20,760 --> 01:36:22,680
Speaker 1: why does Hugh Jackson let him go back in? Then?

2058
01:36:23,360 --> 01:36:25,000
Speaker 1: Is that the best thing for the Brown? So Hugh

2059
01:36:25,120 --> 01:36:28,200
Speaker 1: Jackson saying, I'm gonna I've said, Tyrod's my guy. I'm

2060
01:36:28,240 --> 01:36:33,960
Speaker 1: not gonna let hurt if if Baker Mayfield goes in

2061
01:36:34,080 --> 01:36:36,880
Speaker 1: and lights it up. Hugh Jackson's whole week is room.

2062
01:36:38,720 --> 01:36:41,400
Speaker 1: He wants Tyrod in there too. It's something to that

2063
01:36:41,520 --> 01:36:44,439
Speaker 1: as well. I mean with hard Knocks sitting there looking

2064
01:36:44,479 --> 01:36:49,639
Speaker 1: over his shoulder, Hugh Jackson, Hugh Jackson is want does

2065
01:36:49,760 --> 01:36:58,360
Speaker 1: not want anything to sabotage how bad he already looks. Yeah, yeah, listen,

2066
01:36:59,439 --> 01:37:01,639
Speaker 1: there's a lot going. Tyrod doesn't want to come out,

2067
01:37:02,680 --> 01:37:07,240
Speaker 1: and Hugh Jackson doesn't want Baker Mayfield come in and

2068
01:37:07,320 --> 01:37:10,040
Speaker 1: sabotage everything he has said. You know, he's got his

2069
01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:14,040
Speaker 1: chisel and hammer out sitting in Stone. The Tyrod's gonna

2070
01:37:14,040 --> 01:37:17,600
Speaker 1: play if if they come out with a sandblaster and

2071
01:37:18,600 --> 01:37:23,439
Speaker 1: ruined his work. There's a lot going on there. And

2072
01:37:23,720 --> 01:37:26,920
Speaker 1: oh yeah, and have you ever been on a hard

2073
01:37:26,960 --> 01:37:29,880
Speaker 1: knocks team? Runs over you? No, I've never had hard knocks,

2074
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:32,960
Speaker 1: but just knowing their all their coordinators and I have

2075
01:37:33,160 --> 01:37:35,639
Speaker 1: a coach that's um, the special team's coach, Amos Jones

2076
01:37:35,720 --> 01:37:38,560
Speaker 1: over there now, just familiar with and just knowing like

2077
01:37:38,640 --> 01:37:42,840
Speaker 1: Greg Williams. I play for Greg Washington and then um

2078
01:37:42,920 --> 01:37:46,000
Speaker 1: what is it, Todd Haley him and then Hugh Just

2079
01:37:46,120 --> 01:37:49,519
Speaker 1: the personalities they all been head coaches and obviously he

2080
01:37:49,640 --> 01:37:52,280
Speaker 1: was a head coach now and just being in that

2081
01:37:52,439 --> 01:37:56,000
Speaker 1: room and just knowing how each one thinks they invented football,

2082
01:37:56,240 --> 01:37:59,000
Speaker 1: especially Greg, and I just know the personalities are crazy,

2083
01:37:59,040 --> 01:38:00,400
Speaker 1: even when the cameras are all so you were just

2084
01:38:00,400 --> 01:38:01,880
Speaker 1: setting a little bit of it. Yeah, but you've you've

2085
01:38:01,880 --> 01:38:04,080
Speaker 1: been on him embedded the bills, got the embedded thing going.

2086
01:38:04,200 --> 01:38:07,200
Speaker 1: That's completely different, right, Yeah, that's that's more internal. No,

2087
01:38:07,840 --> 01:38:10,439
Speaker 1: it's not bad like that. It's been cool. You know,

2088
01:38:10,560 --> 01:38:13,240
Speaker 1: I'm not a big camera guy. You know, it's been Um.

2089
01:38:13,600 --> 01:38:15,639
Speaker 1: You know, I was giving a Shine a little tough

2090
01:38:15,720 --> 01:38:17,679
Speaker 1: time about it. You know, we go to the playoffs

2091
01:38:17,720 --> 01:38:19,720
Speaker 1: and now got to show up. That's all about him

2092
01:38:19,800 --> 01:38:23,000
Speaker 1: and in the process and respecting it. And you know,

2093
01:38:23,040 --> 01:38:25,639
Speaker 1: he getting about of FaceTime. I don't know. He hadn't

2094
01:38:25,640 --> 01:38:27,200
Speaker 1: saying anything to me, so maybe he hasn't heard it.

2095
01:38:27,360 --> 01:38:29,479
Speaker 1: I told a report. I was just messing around. But yeah,

2096
01:38:29,520 --> 01:38:31,559
Speaker 1: you know, um, I want to ask you about Greig

2097
01:38:31,600 --> 01:38:33,639
Speaker 1: Williams because we know Greg a little bit. He coach

2098
01:38:33,680 --> 01:38:35,320
Speaker 1: here for a couple of years. I was kind along

2099
01:38:35,400 --> 01:38:39,080
Speaker 1: one of them. I liked him too, but these he's

2100
01:38:39,120 --> 01:38:42,320
Speaker 1: a special individual. Yeah, yeah, he is. He is a

2101
01:38:42,360 --> 01:38:45,320
Speaker 1: big ego. Yeah, you know obviously he thinks that. Um,

2102
01:38:46,840 --> 01:38:49,439
Speaker 1: he invented defense in his way. I mean, and it's

2103
01:38:49,439 --> 01:38:51,800
Speaker 1: just part of what has made him successful. I I

2104
01:38:51,920 --> 01:38:53,880
Speaker 1: think you have to have that type of mentality to

2105
01:38:53,960 --> 01:38:57,040
Speaker 1: a certain extent um. You know, I've grown up, I

2106
01:38:57,160 --> 01:39:02,759
Speaker 1: think get along with the defensive coordinators that probably adopt

2107
01:39:02,800 --> 01:39:05,760
Speaker 1: a defense that's more better for their players. But he

2108
01:39:05,840 --> 01:39:07,960
Speaker 1: really sticks to what he goes and he's gonna stick

2109
01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:10,320
Speaker 1: to his guns and doesn't and it's been working. Actually

2110
01:39:10,320 --> 01:39:12,599
Speaker 1: been playing pretty good defense in Cleveland the last couple

2111
01:39:12,600 --> 01:39:15,679
Speaker 1: of weeks. Can you imagine anybody more different than Leslie

2112
01:39:15,720 --> 01:39:24,439
Speaker 1: Fraser And that's polar opposite polar. Leslie's really reserved, quiet, humble,

2113
01:39:24,560 --> 01:39:27,360
Speaker 1: and Leslie will he gets on you and it's more

2114
01:39:27,439 --> 01:39:30,320
Speaker 1: like a silent like did he just clown me a

2115
01:39:30,400 --> 01:39:32,320
Speaker 1: little bit? You know, you have to think about it. Greg,

2116
01:39:32,360 --> 01:39:36,280
Speaker 1: There's no question at all he's been mathing you. Yeah,

2117
01:39:36,920 --> 01:39:39,680
Speaker 1: you know everybody in the building understands it. There's no

2118
01:39:41,040 --> 01:39:44,280
Speaker 1: misunderstanding when Greg Williams doesn't like what you did or

2119
01:39:44,320 --> 01:39:46,160
Speaker 1: how you play to play at all. I can tell

2120
01:39:46,160 --> 01:39:48,080
Speaker 1: you quick Greig william story. And he was head coach here.

2121
01:39:48,439 --> 01:39:50,800
Speaker 1: I was working the Channel seven or Channel four here

2122
01:39:51,160 --> 01:39:53,880
Speaker 1: and the music post practice music in the locker room

2123
01:39:53,960 --> 01:39:56,120
Speaker 1: was so loud We're in there doing interviews, you couldn't

2124
01:39:56,160 --> 01:39:59,679
Speaker 1: hear anything. Plus it was kind of explative not deleted

2125
01:40:00,040 --> 01:40:02,240
Speaker 1: rap music. And I said something to Greg about it,

2126
01:40:02,240 --> 01:40:04,000
Speaker 1: and it was right after practice. He goes, let me

2127
01:40:04,080 --> 01:40:06,799
Speaker 1: hear this. He walks out, walks out to the trucks,

2128
01:40:06,840 --> 01:40:08,960
Speaker 1: the TV trucks out here in the parking lot, sits

2129
01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:10,519
Speaker 1: down on the truck to listen to it for about

2130
01:40:10,520 --> 01:40:13,160
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes and he got mad, not at that was it.

2131
01:40:13,439 --> 01:40:15,240
Speaker 1: And there was a particular player I want to say

2132
01:40:15,240 --> 01:40:18,920
Speaker 1: it was maybe Sam Adams defensive linemen. Yeah, and dropped

2133
01:40:18,920 --> 01:40:21,479
Speaker 1: a few choice comments in the truck and then he

2134
01:40:21,520 --> 01:40:23,880
Speaker 1: went in and I was told he reamed out Sam

2135
01:40:23,920 --> 01:40:25,960
Speaker 1: Adams and it was never a problem again. So Greg,

2136
01:40:26,040 --> 01:40:29,080
Speaker 1: you know what he's like, open minded and he's been minded.

2137
01:40:29,520 --> 01:40:31,240
Speaker 1: But you didn't drop all the F bombs and then

2138
01:40:31,320 --> 01:40:34,680
Speaker 1: get upset about music. No, what I mean he was.

2139
01:40:34,880 --> 01:40:36,400
Speaker 1: He was willing to see, what's your problem? What are

2140
01:40:36,400 --> 01:40:38,880
Speaker 1: you complaining about? Let me hear it. But in that sense,

2141
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:40,600
Speaker 1: I mean he was open mind. Okay, you know what

2142
01:40:40,640 --> 01:40:43,559
Speaker 1: I mean, and he fixed the problem. I guess, well,

2143
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:48,200
Speaker 1: not in Sam Adam's mind. You're right, yeah, But I

2144
01:40:48,320 --> 01:40:49,640
Speaker 1: like Greg when I played for him, you had a

2145
01:40:49,680 --> 01:40:52,000
Speaker 1: tough heart and he coached everybody hard. It didn't matter,

2146
01:40:52,240 --> 01:40:54,920
Speaker 1: right if you were a first rounder or you know,

2147
01:40:55,080 --> 01:40:57,760
Speaker 1: undrafted guys. So I definitely respect him from that standpoint,

2148
01:40:57,760 --> 01:41:00,000
Speaker 1: and obviously I got my first opportunity to play football

2149
01:41:00,120 --> 01:41:01,800
Speaker 1: for him. So yeah, and the proof is in the pudding.

2150
01:41:01,880 --> 01:41:04,439
Speaker 1: He's had good defenses and guys play hard for him,

2151
01:41:04,439 --> 01:41:06,040
Speaker 1: and he's gonna do some good things there in clear

2152
01:41:06,080 --> 01:41:07,760
Speaker 1: that you saw the other night. They've got those guys

2153
01:41:07,840 --> 01:41:10,120
Speaker 1: going on. He's got some players now too, Miles Miles,

2154
01:41:10,160 --> 01:41:13,519
Speaker 1: Garrett's a real deal here go. He's really aggressive. He's

2155
01:41:13,520 --> 01:41:15,519
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna die something. They might have lost their

2156
01:41:15,960 --> 01:41:17,800
Speaker 1: first round pick last night for a little while. A

2157
01:41:17,880 --> 01:41:19,360
Speaker 1: Ward got a little bit of a back injury on

2158
01:41:19,400 --> 01:41:21,760
Speaker 1: a tackle last night, but they you know, he's gonna

2159
01:41:21,760 --> 01:41:25,920
Speaker 1: have him playing hard, and there's a reason guys like

2160
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:27,760
Speaker 1: him who've been through you know, he was through the

2161
01:41:28,439 --> 01:41:31,200
Speaker 1: He's been to different teams as you know, but been

2162
01:41:31,320 --> 01:41:34,040
Speaker 1: through the thing with bounty gate in New Orleans. He

2163
01:41:34,120 --> 01:41:36,799
Speaker 1: was at the center of that, and guys don't survive

2164
01:41:36,880 --> 01:41:38,639
Speaker 1: that unless they have something to off. All right, Yeah,

2165
01:41:38,680 --> 01:41:40,840
Speaker 1: he definitely has talent and understand other league. He's been

2166
01:41:40,880 --> 01:41:43,400
Speaker 1: in there for forever, um, but everywhere he's been. They've

2167
01:41:43,400 --> 01:41:46,439
Speaker 1: been aggressive, they've been disciplined, and they're gonna get after you.

2168
01:41:46,520 --> 01:41:49,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna play some tough, physical football. And that's what

2169
01:41:49,280 --> 01:41:51,360
Speaker 1: I loved about it. What's the thought in the locker

2170
01:41:51,439 --> 01:41:54,040
Speaker 1: room about this game? Third preseason game like this is

2171
01:41:54,120 --> 01:41:56,280
Speaker 1: one where the guys who are kind of gonna be

2172
01:41:56,360 --> 01:41:58,559
Speaker 1: on the fifty three, they're gonna play a lot. Yeah,

2173
01:41:58,600 --> 01:42:00,519
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the starters are I would play,

2174
01:42:01,160 --> 01:42:03,840
Speaker 1: you know, at least a half halftime, depending and then

2175
01:42:03,920 --> 01:42:05,760
Speaker 1: depending on who you are, probably that first series if

2176
01:42:05,800 --> 01:42:08,400
Speaker 1: they want to get one more with some of the ones,

2177
01:42:08,479 --> 01:42:12,439
Speaker 1: and then from there start mixing and engage at halftime

2178
01:42:12,520 --> 01:42:14,439
Speaker 1: to come back out exactly. But the big yeah, makes

2179
01:42:14,479 --> 01:42:16,800
Speaker 1: some adjustments at halftime. But the biggest thing for us,

2180
01:42:17,360 --> 01:42:19,400
Speaker 1: I think it is just the whole week leading up

2181
01:42:19,439 --> 01:42:22,920
Speaker 1: to it, getting into that end season prep week as

2182
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:24,479
Speaker 1: far as you know, what is it going to be

2183
01:42:24,600 --> 01:42:27,559
Speaker 1: looked like on first, second down, third down, red zone,

2184
01:42:27,600 --> 01:42:30,200
Speaker 1: all the situational things, and then how do I carry

2185
01:42:30,240 --> 01:42:32,679
Speaker 1: that into a game. And it gives the young guys

2186
01:42:32,920 --> 01:42:35,559
Speaker 1: and old guys as well. You know, I'm constantly tweaking

2187
01:42:35,640 --> 01:42:37,920
Speaker 1: my process as far as leading up trying to improve it,

2188
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:42,720
Speaker 1: but train Matt Milano, Tredavius, all those guys. How do

2189
01:42:42,840 --> 01:42:46,639
Speaker 1: they continue to go through the mastation process of taking

2190
01:42:46,680 --> 01:42:49,080
Speaker 1: the information given to them during the week, you know,

2191
01:42:49,200 --> 01:42:51,320
Speaker 1: obviously taking what's important to them and then going out

2192
01:42:51,360 --> 01:42:53,600
Speaker 1: in the field executing at a high level and not

2193
01:42:53,720 --> 01:42:55,720
Speaker 1: feel like they have to think about every single tip

2194
01:42:55,800 --> 01:42:58,439
Speaker 1: that we've gotten throughout the week. With the Lorenzo Alexander,

2195
01:42:58,520 --> 01:43:01,320
Speaker 1: the Friday lowdown with the those linebacker. We had Jake

2196
01:43:01,360 --> 01:43:04,320
Speaker 1: Deloma on the show early today. Lorenzo, why are you laughing?

2197
01:43:04,439 --> 01:43:07,760
Speaker 1: He was? He was, He's Jake is awesome. I played

2198
01:43:07,800 --> 01:43:10,439
Speaker 1: with Jake every time we Every time I look up,

2199
01:43:10,520 --> 01:43:14,519
Speaker 1: I feel older and older. It's a former teammate or somewhere.

2200
01:43:14,560 --> 01:43:18,639
Speaker 1: And he played years ago, right, Jake delom In the update?

2201
01:43:18,680 --> 01:43:20,680
Speaker 1: I see we mentioned Chris Baker. I played with him

2202
01:43:20,720 --> 01:43:23,680
Speaker 1: in Washington. Obviously you had Preston Brown on. Yeah. I

2203
01:43:23,760 --> 01:43:27,040
Speaker 1: feel like that Kevin Bacon of the NFL and always

2204
01:43:27,680 --> 01:43:29,400
Speaker 1: degree if I don't know you personally, it's like a

2205
01:43:29,479 --> 01:43:32,120
Speaker 1: degree of separation from me and those guys. Yeah, what

2206
01:43:33,720 --> 01:43:35,680
Speaker 1: was he saying to the team today? His biggest thing

2207
01:43:35,760 --> 01:43:38,439
Speaker 1: that I took away from it was work while you wait.

2208
01:43:38,600 --> 01:43:41,040
Speaker 1: Obviously enjoy the process of y NFL, but work while

2209
01:43:41,040 --> 01:43:43,200
Speaker 1: you wait if you don't know his Jake Delme's kind

2210
01:43:43,240 --> 01:43:47,160
Speaker 1: of backstory. Undrafted UM back up in New Orleans for

2211
01:43:47,200 --> 01:43:49,200
Speaker 1: a long time, got an opportunity to play in UM

2212
01:43:49,439 --> 01:43:51,120
Speaker 1: Carolina where he took the team to Super Bowl. But

2213
01:43:51,200 --> 01:43:52,920
Speaker 1: before he did that, he actually had to go over

2214
01:43:52,920 --> 01:43:55,200
Speaker 1: to the NFL europe Um. And you know a lot

2215
01:43:55,200 --> 01:43:57,200
Speaker 1: of times that stuff can be disheartened to some guys.

2216
01:43:57,360 --> 01:43:58,920
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not good enough to achieve my dream.

2217
01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:02,600
Speaker 1: But you know, he stayed true to the process, you know,

2218
01:44:02,720 --> 01:44:05,040
Speaker 1: even when he wasn't to start a constantly preparing himself

2219
01:44:05,080 --> 01:44:06,680
Speaker 1: as he was. And when he got his opportunity to

2220
01:44:06,720 --> 01:44:09,360
Speaker 1: go into a game, he mentioned a specific play and

2221
01:44:09,439 --> 01:44:11,040
Speaker 1: he knew it came in wrong and he looked over

2222
01:44:11,120 --> 01:44:12,800
Speaker 1: to the sideline at the coach, and the coach like,

2223
01:44:12,840 --> 01:44:15,000
Speaker 1: I trust you, and he went out there and execute it.

2224
01:44:15,479 --> 01:44:17,400
Speaker 1: So I think that was the biggest thing. You know,

2225
01:44:17,520 --> 01:44:19,680
Speaker 1: take it from work while you wait, because you never

2226
01:44:19,680 --> 01:44:21,800
Speaker 1: know when you're gonna get your opportunity, because is he

2227
01:44:21,960 --> 01:44:24,840
Speaker 1: gonna be negative or positive exposure? And then from then

2228
01:44:24,920 --> 01:44:28,000
Speaker 1: can really dictate your future with that team or your

2229
01:44:28,040 --> 01:44:30,160
Speaker 1: career in the NFL, because that's what it's all about.

2230
01:44:30,240 --> 01:44:32,720
Speaker 1: Coaches don't necessarily play the best players. They play the

2231
01:44:32,760 --> 01:44:35,479
Speaker 1: players that they trust on Sundays, and that was just

2232
01:44:35,600 --> 01:44:37,920
Speaker 1: a great example of that, and it really hopefully it

2233
01:44:37,960 --> 01:44:39,760
Speaker 1: spoke to a lot of the young guys and that's

2234
01:44:39,920 --> 01:44:42,800
Speaker 1: kind of how you know, my careers pretty much went

2235
01:44:42,840 --> 01:44:44,960
Speaker 1: as well. So you're running through this game week and

2236
01:44:46,320 --> 01:44:49,120
Speaker 1: got the schedule going, and now Josh Allen's gonna start

2237
01:44:49,200 --> 01:44:52,160
Speaker 1: this this week. What have you seen in him? Is

2238
01:44:52,160 --> 01:44:54,280
Speaker 1: he getting better? Are they talking? Do you hear the

2239
01:44:54,320 --> 01:44:57,680
Speaker 1: guys coaching him up? Are they praising him for his

2240
01:44:57,840 --> 01:44:59,840
Speaker 1: mechanics and all that stuff, all the stuff that they've

2241
01:44:59,840 --> 01:45:01,960
Speaker 1: been working on with he getting better? I know he's

2242
01:45:01,960 --> 01:45:03,880
Speaker 1: played well yeah, well you know, I'm not in the

2243
01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:06,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks room, so I really don't know. But on the field,

2244
01:45:06,400 --> 01:45:10,040
Speaker 1: he looks comfortable. Um, he looked like he understands what's

2245
01:45:10,080 --> 01:45:11,920
Speaker 1: going on. He operates at a high level. When he

2246
01:45:12,000 --> 01:45:14,360
Speaker 1: makes a mistake, you can see him going to talk

2247
01:45:14,400 --> 01:45:16,519
Speaker 1: to you know, whether it's Brian or Cully or whatever,

2248
01:45:16,560 --> 01:45:18,639
Speaker 1: and they're getting a problem fixed right away. And sometimes

2249
01:45:18,680 --> 01:45:21,120
Speaker 1: he notices as well. So that's the true side of

2250
01:45:21,160 --> 01:45:23,720
Speaker 1: a pro thinks. All right, so I'm gonna put you

2251
01:45:23,800 --> 01:45:28,479
Speaker 1: on the spot. I mean I've always said the players know, right, well,

2252
01:45:28,840 --> 01:45:31,840
Speaker 1: you got this quarterback race. What do you guys know?

2253
01:45:32,280 --> 01:45:34,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean it's hard, right, I mean, Natives

2254
01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:37,479
Speaker 1: played really well, really well. And then obviously Josh has

2255
01:45:37,479 --> 01:45:40,080
Speaker 1: played really well and he's earning my respect. Trust I

2256
01:45:40,120 --> 01:45:42,360
Speaker 1: would say more than respect, because I already respect him.

2257
01:45:42,439 --> 01:45:44,599
Speaker 1: What about Aj, I know he's he got hurt, kind

2258
01:45:44,600 --> 01:45:46,040
Speaker 1: of got nicked up. You know, he's kind of been

2259
01:45:46,080 --> 01:45:51,479
Speaker 1: a forgotten guy finish right, Yeah, he got in That

2260
01:45:51,600 --> 01:45:53,320
Speaker 1: kind of removed him in my mind a little bit.

2261
01:45:53,400 --> 01:45:55,160
Speaker 1: But I thought aj was doing a great job. It's

2262
01:45:55,160 --> 01:45:58,000
Speaker 1: gonna make a tough decision because all these guys in

2263
01:45:58,040 --> 01:46:00,080
Speaker 1: their own right have their own skill set. But at

2264
01:46:00,120 --> 01:46:02,760
Speaker 1: the same time, I know this is a business, and

2265
01:46:02,880 --> 01:46:06,240
Speaker 1: when you invest a seventh picking a guy and everything

2266
01:46:06,400 --> 01:46:09,519
Speaker 1: is close and he's doing well and he's rising in

2267
01:46:09,640 --> 01:46:11,680
Speaker 1: my mind, at least in the NFL that I've kind

2268
01:46:11,680 --> 01:46:14,559
Speaker 1: of grown up in that guy ends up playing, especially

2269
01:46:14,600 --> 01:46:17,000
Speaker 1: when it's time he's going to But here's the thing.

2270
01:46:17,040 --> 01:46:20,880
Speaker 1: I mean, earlier than he's also valuable, So you can't

2271
01:46:20,920 --> 01:46:22,720
Speaker 1: just throw him in there like you don't matter, like

2272
01:46:22,840 --> 01:46:24,840
Speaker 1: you don't care if he sinks or swim. Yeah, but

2273
01:46:25,080 --> 01:46:30,040
Speaker 1: you're not. There is some um benefit into some I mean,

2274
01:46:30,120 --> 01:46:32,880
Speaker 1: obviously I want to win, but a guy going through

2275
01:46:32,960 --> 01:46:35,840
Speaker 1: some struggle, especially earlier on, you learn from that. You know,

2276
01:46:36,000 --> 01:46:39,920
Speaker 1: guys always throw Troy Payton Manning out there. How do

2277
01:46:40,040 --> 01:46:41,920
Speaker 1: they rise above that? How do they continue to work?

2278
01:46:41,960 --> 01:46:44,040
Speaker 1: And especially if it's a close race, you know, you're

2279
01:46:44,040 --> 01:46:46,120
Speaker 1: not throwing him out there to the wolves just because

2280
01:46:46,479 --> 01:46:49,400
Speaker 1: but he's especially if he earns that right and he

2281
01:46:49,520 --> 01:46:52,960
Speaker 1: has that that investment in him. It's hard, especially I

2282
01:46:53,080 --> 01:46:55,240
Speaker 1: think for for gms or whoever you know is in

2283
01:46:55,360 --> 01:46:57,720
Speaker 1: charge of picking guys. It's hard from to say, Ah,

2284
01:46:58,400 --> 01:47:00,320
Speaker 1: when you have that type of talent and a guy,

2285
01:47:00,320 --> 01:47:01,599
Speaker 1: you want to put him out there and allow him

2286
01:47:01,600 --> 01:47:04,880
Speaker 1: to play. You brought up two great guys. Troy Aikman,

2287
01:47:05,439 --> 01:47:09,680
Speaker 1: he's one in fifteen is right right, Peyton Manning three

2288
01:47:09,720 --> 01:47:12,840
Speaker 1: and thirteen is a rookie. Now, Troy Aikman went to

2289
01:47:12,880 --> 01:47:15,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboy and they built slow. They were one and

2290
01:47:15,600 --> 01:47:17,720
Speaker 1: I'm exacted. I don't know the exact numbers. They're like

2291
01:47:17,720 --> 01:47:23,040
Speaker 1: one in fifteen, three and thirteen, five and eleven, seven

2292
01:47:23,120 --> 01:47:25,600
Speaker 1: and nine, and then they went, you know, then they

2293
01:47:25,640 --> 01:47:28,360
Speaker 1: were nine and seven, twelve and four and the super Bowl,

2294
01:47:28,520 --> 01:47:32,760
Speaker 1: super Bowl Championship Game, super Bowl. Um, it took a while.

2295
01:47:33,160 --> 01:47:38,160
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning was three and thirteen, thirteen and three. So

2296
01:47:38,280 --> 01:47:41,200
Speaker 1: there's there's you know, you guys like you you don't

2297
01:47:41,240 --> 01:47:44,800
Speaker 1: want to go one in fifteen, you know you want to,

2298
01:47:45,680 --> 01:47:47,200
Speaker 1: But I think based on because its not like we

2299
01:47:47,280 --> 01:47:48,840
Speaker 1: have a veteran guy that's been there and done it,

2300
01:47:49,040 --> 01:47:52,439
Speaker 1: so you were essentially, whoever earns that right to start

2301
01:47:52,479 --> 01:47:54,080
Speaker 1: a quarterback is going to be a rookie in my

2302
01:47:54,160 --> 01:47:56,240
Speaker 1: mind because there's just not a lot of game experience there.

2303
01:47:56,800 --> 01:47:59,200
Speaker 1: So even if it's even if it's agent, even though

2304
01:47:59,200 --> 01:48:00,760
Speaker 1: he's been in the league with think this his fifth

2305
01:48:00,880 --> 01:48:02,920
Speaker 1: year now fourth and fifth year, he hasn't played a

2306
01:48:02,960 --> 01:48:06,120
Speaker 1: significant time as the guy because he was behind Andy Dalton.

2307
01:48:06,640 --> 01:48:10,840
Speaker 1: So from our perspective as a team wise, everything needs

2308
01:48:10,840 --> 01:48:14,080
Speaker 1: to run through the defense and we need to you know,

2309
01:48:14,160 --> 01:48:16,519
Speaker 1: obviously create great field position, stopping to run, get after

2310
01:48:16,560 --> 01:48:20,160
Speaker 1: the quarterback, creating turnovers and giving whoever's running the offense

2311
01:48:20,600 --> 01:48:23,240
Speaker 1: advantageous field position, But we need to be the bell

2312
01:48:23,320 --> 01:48:25,120
Speaker 1: cows of this team, and we need to leave from

2313
01:48:25,160 --> 01:48:27,320
Speaker 1: the front and allow those guys to go through that

2314
01:48:27,439 --> 01:48:29,679
Speaker 1: process to where then you can say, okay, this offense

2315
01:48:30,280 --> 01:48:32,439
Speaker 1: we should we can win games here, but our goal

2316
01:48:32,560 --> 01:48:34,240
Speaker 1: is to win it and keep the score down low.

2317
01:48:34,320 --> 01:48:37,000
Speaker 1: So we're not asking a guy that's put you know,

2318
01:48:37,160 --> 01:48:40,400
Speaker 1: twenty eight thirty points up every single week. So does

2319
01:48:40,479 --> 01:48:42,800
Speaker 1: Josh Allen remind you of anybody you may have played

2320
01:48:42,880 --> 01:48:47,080
Speaker 1: with or played against over your NFL's career. I mean

2321
01:48:47,160 --> 01:48:51,320
Speaker 1: that's kind of hard. I mean, no, not really. I

2322
01:48:51,360 --> 01:48:53,880
Speaker 1: mean he's a unique talent, big, big body, big arm.

2323
01:48:53,920 --> 01:48:56,840
Speaker 1: I mean I guess probably maybe Ben. Then you can

2324
01:48:56,920 --> 01:48:59,000
Speaker 1: mix his arm with against like a Brett Farve because

2325
01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:02,000
Speaker 1: I've played against him, or Aaron Rodgers arm strength. So

2326
01:49:02,080 --> 01:49:06,280
Speaker 1: he's a mixture of guys. He's really athletic, um, but

2327
01:49:06,439 --> 01:49:08,400
Speaker 1: he's he's really worked and gotten a lot better with

2328
01:49:08,520 --> 01:49:10,960
Speaker 1: his technique and fundamentals. And uh, you know, I know

2329
01:49:11,200 --> 01:49:13,800
Speaker 1: Jordan Palmer a little bit, So what do the work

2330
01:49:13,880 --> 01:49:15,760
Speaker 1: that he's put in you can definitely see showing up.

2331
01:49:15,880 --> 01:49:18,519
Speaker 1: I think, you know, when I see people call him

2332
01:49:18,560 --> 01:49:20,720
Speaker 1: an accurate when I watched practice. It's not like, man,

2333
01:49:20,800 --> 01:49:22,559
Speaker 1: that's a that's a bad ball. That's a bad ball.

2334
01:49:22,600 --> 01:49:24,200
Speaker 1: He's he's done it. I think a fairly good job

2335
01:49:24,240 --> 01:49:25,600
Speaker 1: as far as putting the ball when he needs to

2336
01:49:25,640 --> 01:49:28,040
Speaker 1: be at. Over the last eighteen years, Bill's fans have

2337
01:49:28,120 --> 01:49:32,960
Speaker 1: seen inaccurate that guy ain't in now. I mean he's

2338
01:49:33,040 --> 01:49:35,320
Speaker 1: he's young, he's got some thing. He's made some bad

2339
01:49:35,400 --> 01:49:38,120
Speaker 1: throws and some bad decisions early in his career. You

2340
01:49:38,160 --> 01:49:42,000
Speaker 1: don't have that. But he's not. He's not like Bill's

2341
01:49:42,040 --> 01:49:51,080
Speaker 1: fans have seen. Believe me. What do you look to

2342
01:49:51,160 --> 01:49:53,160
Speaker 1: get out of this preseason game number three? You know

2343
01:49:53,240 --> 01:49:55,840
Speaker 1: the dress rehearsal game is a veteran. Um. What are

2344
01:49:55,840 --> 01:49:57,320
Speaker 1: you looking to do here this Sunday? What do you

2345
01:49:57,360 --> 01:50:01,160
Speaker 1: want to prove on my fundamentals? My eye is my reads. Um.

2346
01:50:01,320 --> 01:50:02,840
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, I play a little bit more

2347
01:50:03,080 --> 01:50:05,240
Speaker 1: extended time, so I'll get a little bit better groove

2348
01:50:05,280 --> 01:50:07,559
Speaker 1: of the game. This week. Gonna have opportunities to play

2349
01:50:07,600 --> 01:50:10,639
Speaker 1: special teams too, some some punts, so just to get

2350
01:50:10,720 --> 01:50:13,040
Speaker 1: to feel conditioning wise of covering a punt. And now

2351
01:50:13,080 --> 01:50:15,240
Speaker 1: I'm going to play defense and then rushing the passer.

2352
01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:17,760
Speaker 1: So all those things that are gonna allow me to

2353
01:50:17,840 --> 01:50:21,400
Speaker 1: be primed when we open up against Baltimore. UM, because

2354
01:50:21,400 --> 01:50:23,000
Speaker 1: that's I mean, that's what it's all about. Continue to

2355
01:50:23,120 --> 01:50:25,760
Speaker 1: sharpen your skill set. UM. No matter if you've been

2356
01:50:25,760 --> 01:50:28,280
Speaker 1: in this league one year or fourteen, you still got

2357
01:50:28,320 --> 01:50:30,160
Speaker 1: to figure out different ways we can get better. And

2358
01:50:30,280 --> 01:50:32,439
Speaker 1: that's the way I approach about that. You're out there

2359
01:50:32,560 --> 01:50:35,759
Speaker 1: third down, passing down, trying to track down a quarterback,

2360
01:50:35,840 --> 01:50:38,000
Speaker 1: maybe you're dropping back into coverage, and then punt team.

2361
01:50:38,040 --> 01:50:39,640
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna you're gonna have to stay in the

2362
01:50:39,720 --> 01:50:42,160
Speaker 1: field or no, I should be either way. It's either

2363
01:50:42,240 --> 01:50:44,600
Speaker 1: way around. But if you at one time, I did

2364
01:50:44,680 --> 01:50:47,160
Speaker 1: have to do punt return two, yeah, is it hard?

2365
01:50:47,360 --> 01:50:51,040
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, it is hard from a conditioning standpoint.

2366
01:50:51,080 --> 01:50:53,240
Speaker 1: I told I told the guys when when I was playing,

2367
01:50:53,240 --> 01:50:55,479
Speaker 1: if I was playing wide receiver, I'm I can't punt.

2368
01:50:55,560 --> 01:50:58,000
Speaker 1: I can't be on punt team. I mean it's difficult.

2369
01:50:58,080 --> 01:51:00,559
Speaker 1: I mean, and for me it was. It's the floor

2370
01:51:00,600 --> 01:51:02,599
Speaker 1: of the game too. So if you have an offense

2371
01:51:02,640 --> 01:51:04,320
Speaker 1: that is struggling, that's when it becomes a little bit

2372
01:51:04,360 --> 01:51:07,880
Speaker 1: harder because you go three and out then we'll punt

2373
01:51:08,200 --> 01:51:09,880
Speaker 1: and then the defense go three and out. Now back

2374
01:51:09,920 --> 01:51:12,679
Speaker 1: on punt return, and then to say go back again

2375
01:51:12,760 --> 01:51:14,400
Speaker 1: and just the floor of the game and maybe they

2376
01:51:14,600 --> 01:51:17,080
Speaker 1: score real quick. Now I'm gonna kick off. So it's

2377
01:51:17,080 --> 01:51:19,200
Speaker 1: all about how the floor of the game happens, you know,

2378
01:51:19,240 --> 01:51:21,160
Speaker 1: always hoping that we get at least one first down

2379
01:51:21,200 --> 01:51:23,800
Speaker 1: so I can get a little breather's. But it's why

2380
01:51:23,880 --> 01:51:26,639
Speaker 1: you need guys that are core guys on special team.

2381
01:51:26,720 --> 01:51:28,960
Speaker 1: That's why the bottom guys of the roster at every position,

2382
01:51:29,040 --> 01:51:31,639
Speaker 1: that like the fifth and sixth wide receiver, the eighth

2383
01:51:31,640 --> 01:51:35,400
Speaker 1: and ninth dB, six to seventh linebacker, fifth and sixth

2384
01:51:35,520 --> 01:51:38,240
Speaker 1: d linemen, all those tight end, the fourth and fifth

2385
01:51:38,280 --> 01:51:40,600
Speaker 1: tight end, whoever they are, all those guys got to

2386
01:51:40,680 --> 01:51:43,880
Speaker 1: be hardcore teamers because they come out fresh and you

2387
01:51:43,960 --> 01:51:46,760
Speaker 1: can sprinkle in maybe out of the eleven guys on

2388
01:51:46,800 --> 01:51:50,040
Speaker 1: the field for punt team, you need eight of them fresh, right,

2389
01:51:50,360 --> 01:51:52,120
Speaker 1: Three of them you can kind of interior guys that

2390
01:51:52,240 --> 01:51:54,240
Speaker 1: can kind of hold off that, but you need eight

2391
01:51:54,320 --> 01:51:58,400
Speaker 1: guys fresh kickoff team, you need you need ten fresh guys, right,

2392
01:51:58,600 --> 01:52:00,080
Speaker 1: And that was my issue my first year because I

2393
01:52:00,160 --> 01:52:02,200
Speaker 1: will I was that guy that core guy that you

2394
01:52:02,280 --> 01:52:04,639
Speaker 1: talk about, and I kind of morphed into a starter too,

2395
01:52:05,320 --> 01:52:11,479
Speaker 1: and special teams. Dude, you can't. And I wanted to

2396
01:52:11,600 --> 01:52:13,920
Speaker 1: because I was wired that way because being especially being

2397
01:52:13,920 --> 01:52:15,920
Speaker 1: an undrafted guy's like, okay, this put me out here.

2398
01:52:15,960 --> 01:52:18,920
Speaker 1: Put me out here now the locker room too, right. Yeah.

2399
01:52:19,080 --> 01:52:21,479
Speaker 1: Now I've kind of I've kind of talked to myself

2400
01:52:21,560 --> 01:52:23,519
Speaker 1: to being okay with not being on some of those

2401
01:52:23,560 --> 01:52:25,880
Speaker 1: things because I know it's gonna be beneficial. It was

2402
01:52:25,920 --> 01:52:27,640
Speaker 1: hard for me too when I played a little bit

2403
01:52:27,680 --> 01:52:28,960
Speaker 1: of wide receiver at the end of my career. You

2404
01:52:29,040 --> 01:52:32,000
Speaker 1: got you see those guys go out there, It's like wow, right, Yeah,

2405
01:52:32,040 --> 01:52:35,599
Speaker 1: I feel like you feel almost negligent, right not being

2406
01:52:35,680 --> 01:52:37,439
Speaker 1: on the team. Yeah, I'm not being out there, and

2407
01:52:37,520 --> 01:52:39,840
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a tough adjustment, it is. So you know,

2408
01:52:39,880 --> 01:52:41,880
Speaker 1: I'm glad we have guys like Julian Stafford that we

2409
01:52:41,960 --> 01:52:43,760
Speaker 1: brought in. He's gonna do a great job. And that's

2410
01:52:43,760 --> 01:52:46,400
Speaker 1: a guy that's gonna allow me to play focus more

2411
01:52:46,439 --> 01:52:48,040
Speaker 1: on defense and I have to be on kickoff and

2412
01:52:48,120 --> 01:52:51,160
Speaker 1: put return and kick off. So I'm looking forward to it.

2413
01:52:51,680 --> 01:52:53,920
Speaker 1: Were you a mentor for Preston Brown and the two

2414
01:52:54,000 --> 01:52:55,880
Speaker 1: years you played together here, Yeah, we talked a lot.

2415
01:52:56,000 --> 01:52:58,360
Speaker 1: He was one of my good buddies, you know, definitely

2416
01:52:58,439 --> 01:53:00,880
Speaker 1: off the field, I would say more than in the field. Um,

2417
01:53:01,080 --> 01:53:05,240
Speaker 1: And this past offseason trained in Arizona together, so we're

2418
01:53:05,280 --> 01:53:07,519
Speaker 1: still really tight, good friends. But yeah, I used to

2419
01:53:07,920 --> 01:53:11,479
Speaker 1: I love pressing. Um one of the favorite people I've

2420
01:53:11,479 --> 01:53:15,000
Speaker 1: probably ever played with. Big time trash talker. You know,

2421
01:53:15,760 --> 01:53:18,040
Speaker 1: he's very underappreciated as far as the skill set that

2422
01:53:18,120 --> 01:53:20,080
Speaker 1: he brought. But he used to always get me jacked

2423
01:53:20,080 --> 01:53:21,840
Speaker 1: out for games. And I know he said he's not

2424
01:53:21,880 --> 01:53:25,400
Speaker 1: gonna talk to me this week. Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna

2425
01:53:25,520 --> 01:53:29,120
Speaker 1: tell Lorenzo for ya, that's typical pressing. I'm gonna I'm

2426
01:53:29,120 --> 01:53:30,960
Speaker 1: gonna run around and mess with him the whole game

2427
01:53:31,000 --> 01:53:32,400
Speaker 1: and try to see if I can rally him up.

2428
01:53:32,400 --> 01:53:34,320
Speaker 1: But I will cast in our offense. He is gonna

2429
01:53:34,320 --> 01:53:37,200
Speaker 1: talk some trash and try to get on some people's skins.

2430
01:53:37,240 --> 01:53:38,920
Speaker 1: That's just how he That's how he is, and it

2431
01:53:39,280 --> 01:53:41,840
Speaker 1: is it's amazing who does that a lot. You know,

2432
01:53:41,960 --> 01:53:44,000
Speaker 1: some guys you think they're off the field, and you

2433
01:53:44,080 --> 01:53:48,120
Speaker 1: know they're just the nicest guys. That's yeah. And they

2434
01:53:48,160 --> 01:53:50,640
Speaker 1: get on the fields like who are you? Who are you?

2435
01:53:51,520 --> 01:53:54,640
Speaker 1: And have no lines? It's no lines, but everything is

2436
01:53:54,720 --> 01:54:00,360
Speaker 1: fair game, there's nothing off. You know who was Mike

2437
01:54:00,479 --> 01:54:05,080
Speaker 1: Singletary was like that, just the sweetest, most down to earth, respectful,

2438
01:54:05,720 --> 01:54:11,080
Speaker 1: you know, bespectled student, professor of the game. And then

2439
01:54:11,120 --> 01:54:13,439
Speaker 1: you get him on the field and he that guy's

2440
01:54:13,479 --> 01:54:16,439
Speaker 1: talking all the time? Right, you better bringing that? Yeah? Right,

2441
01:54:17,000 --> 01:54:20,680
Speaker 1: like saying I was looking around looking as you know,

2442
01:54:20,720 --> 01:54:23,320
Speaker 1: you look twice like is that really you? Right? It's

2443
01:54:23,439 --> 01:54:26,280
Speaker 1: guy's change. Man, it's a it's fun to see that.

2444
01:54:26,560 --> 01:54:28,559
Speaker 1: It's kind of fun. But yeah, I mean, I mean

2445
01:54:29,040 --> 01:54:30,680
Speaker 1: when I was with pressing was really fun because then

2446
01:54:30,680 --> 01:54:32,400
Speaker 1: he brought that out of being and started talking trash

2447
01:54:32,440 --> 01:54:34,720
Speaker 1: and it makes a game that much better. So man,

2448
01:54:34,880 --> 01:54:37,320
Speaker 1: so hopefully doesn't he doesn't get two out of hand.

2449
01:54:37,320 --> 01:54:39,160
Speaker 1: But Prestil's always film. He was fun to have around here,

2450
01:54:39,160 --> 01:54:41,720
Speaker 1: wasn't he? Y? I really enjoyed it. Yeah, yeah, all right,

2492
01:56:54,080 --> 01:57:00,520
Speaker 1: bills preseason for maybe pushing twenty years. And this is

2493
01:57:00,600 --> 01:57:07,160
Speaker 1: the most interesting preseason ever, the games, the storylines with

2494
01:57:07,240 --> 01:57:12,680
Speaker 1: the players. It was the most interesting offseason ever because

2495
01:57:12,680 --> 01:57:16,240
Speaker 1: of the playoff run, because of you know, the player moves,

2496
01:57:16,320 --> 01:57:18,520
Speaker 1: the bold moves they had made at the draft leading

2497
01:57:18,600 --> 01:57:20,280
Speaker 1: up to the draft, the combine the fact that they

2498
01:57:20,360 --> 01:57:24,800
Speaker 1: got they drafted a franchise quarterback very high in a

2499
01:57:24,920 --> 01:57:27,640
Speaker 1: year where you had to think about it. This year

2500
01:57:27,680 --> 01:57:30,800
Speaker 1: in the NFL leading up to the draft, you had

2501
01:57:31,600 --> 01:57:37,160
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, Nick Foles was out there, although they were

2502
01:57:37,200 --> 01:57:40,040
Speaker 1: going to hang on to him, Um Case Keenum had

2503
01:57:40,080 --> 01:57:44,800
Speaker 1: a phenomenal year, Teddy Bridgewater was on the market. That

2504
01:57:45,000 --> 01:57:47,760
Speaker 1: all these quarterbacks that had had some success in the

2505
01:57:47,880 --> 01:57:51,200
Speaker 1: league out there as free agents or trades or whatever.

2506
01:57:51,800 --> 01:57:54,800
Speaker 1: And four guys in the draft, at least four or

2507
01:57:54,840 --> 01:57:58,280
Speaker 1: five were taken in the first round. Five players quarterbacks

2508
01:57:58,320 --> 01:58:00,160
Speaker 1: taken in the first round. It was it was as

2509
01:58:00,400 --> 01:58:04,080
Speaker 1: quarterback a rich market as you're ever going to see

2510
01:58:04,080 --> 01:58:06,480
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And and now it leads up to

2511
01:58:06,560 --> 01:58:10,120
Speaker 1: this preseason where you've got Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Josh Allen,

2512
01:58:10,840 --> 01:58:14,480
Speaker 1: uh and uh the other one, Josh Rosen out in Arizona.

2513
01:58:14,520 --> 01:58:18,000
Speaker 1: All these players. You know, it was rookiees. It doesn't

2514
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:19,800
Speaker 1: seem too big for him all of a sudden, and

2515
01:58:19,880 --> 01:58:22,800
Speaker 1: you got these other quarterbacks that have landed Teddy Bridgewater

2516
01:58:22,880 --> 01:58:25,960
Speaker 1: now it looks to be playing and resurrected his career.

2517
01:58:26,600 --> 01:58:29,640
Speaker 1: It's been a really amazing offseason and we're halfway through

2518
01:58:29,760 --> 01:58:33,600
Speaker 1: the preseason of all of that. It's it's been a

2519
01:58:33,680 --> 01:58:36,000
Speaker 1: lot of fun to be here. Yeah, well, good, you're

2520
01:58:36,080 --> 01:58:38,400
Speaker 1: enjoying it has been. You think about it and why

2521
01:58:38,520 --> 01:58:40,440
Speaker 1: he takes so much time off if you enjoyed me

2522
01:58:40,480 --> 01:58:47,360
Speaker 1: in here so much. Sorry, I'm sorry. I know. Listen,

2523
01:58:47,960 --> 01:58:50,280
Speaker 1: I've heard you talk off you you're you're fine with me.

2524
01:58:50,400 --> 01:58:54,280
Speaker 1: Take you wish you were me taking time off. Listen.

2525
01:58:54,360 --> 01:58:56,800
Speaker 1: I listen. When I started in the last week of April,

2526
01:58:58,000 --> 01:59:00,960
Speaker 1: we all needed time off because there was nothing going. Yeah,

2527
01:59:01,560 --> 01:59:04,640
Speaker 1: that's interesting. That's there is an offseason and it needs

2528
01:59:04,680 --> 01:59:06,600
Speaker 1: to stay that way there. I mean, you know what

2529
01:59:06,640 --> 01:59:09,120
Speaker 1: I mean, look at him campaigning for next year already.

2530
01:59:09,360 --> 01:59:10,920
Speaker 1: Maybe do this show about ten and a half. I

2531
01:59:11,000 --> 01:59:13,360
Speaker 1: want June off, that's what he's saying. On June. Let's

2532
01:59:13,360 --> 01:59:18,960
Speaker 1: say May, Okay, I'll take June two May and June. Hey,

2533
01:59:19,680 --> 01:59:22,120
Speaker 1: nobody wants to play about working May half of June.

2534
01:59:22,240 --> 01:59:23,840
Speaker 1: We've got to work twenty five more minutes here, and

2535
01:59:23,840 --> 01:59:25,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk. We're gonna kind of reset the topic

2536
01:59:25,760 --> 01:59:28,360
Speaker 1: of the show. Yes, quarterbacks, the big story, Josh Allen,

2537
01:59:28,400 --> 01:59:30,760
Speaker 1: the big story Sunday, But what else? Which Bill's player

2538
01:59:30,800 --> 01:59:32,879
Speaker 1: do you want to see more from? Sunday against the Bengals.

2539
01:59:32,920 --> 01:59:35,280
Speaker 1: On Twitter, more than half of you say you want

2540
01:59:35,280 --> 01:59:37,120
Speaker 1: to see more from wide receiver Corey Coleman, and I

2541
01:59:37,200 --> 01:59:39,840
Speaker 1: can't disagree with that. We know he's got the speed,

2542
01:59:39,920 --> 01:59:42,120
Speaker 1: we know you know, former fifteenth overall pick. He's got

2543
01:59:42,160 --> 01:59:44,760
Speaker 1: allowed to offer. Haven't seen in here yet. You would

2544
01:59:44,760 --> 01:59:46,720
Speaker 1: think the clock is ticking. He's got to show something quickly.

2545
01:59:46,800 --> 01:59:49,400
Speaker 1: So I get it. Fifty three percent on our Twitter poll.

2546
01:59:49,600 --> 01:59:52,400
Speaker 1: I believe it's fifty three percent say Corey Coleman is

2547
01:59:52,440 --> 01:59:54,440
Speaker 1: a guy you want to see more from fifty three percent.

2548
01:59:54,800 --> 01:59:56,840
Speaker 1: Thirty three percent say you want to see more from

2549
01:59:56,880 --> 01:59:59,600
Speaker 1: second year wide receivers A Jones. I get that too.

2550
02:00:00,440 --> 02:00:02,720
Speaker 1: Was not available for the first couple of preseason games.

2551
02:00:02,800 --> 02:00:05,800
Speaker 1: Now he is and their count. Look the reason why

2552
02:00:05,880 --> 02:00:08,080
Speaker 1: the eighty six percent of the votes in the Twitter

2553
02:00:08,120 --> 02:00:10,720
Speaker 1: poll go to receivers. Is that people are worried about

2554
02:00:10,760 --> 02:00:13,280
Speaker 1: the receiving course, Steven, I understand that. I'm a little

2555
02:00:13,280 --> 02:00:16,120
Speaker 1: bit concerned as well. Corey Coleman, z A Jones, Matt

2556
02:00:16,160 --> 02:00:18,760
Speaker 1: Malone gets seven percent, other seven percent. If you have

2557
02:00:18,840 --> 02:00:20,480
Speaker 1: another thought on that, give us a call eight O

2558
02:00:20,600 --> 02:00:24,040
Speaker 1: three fifty toll free one eight eight eight by fifty

2559
02:00:24,080 --> 02:00:25,920
Speaker 1: two five fifty or on Twitter. We got some more

2560
02:00:25,960 --> 02:00:30,560
Speaker 1: from the tweet sheet. What's the chance? Look, cutdown Day

2561
02:00:30,640 --> 02:00:32,680
Speaker 1: is a week from tomorrow, September one, and then you

2562
02:00:32,760 --> 02:00:35,120
Speaker 1: can sign some of those players released. I would not

2563
02:00:35,240 --> 02:00:37,680
Speaker 1: be shocked at all if the Bills, if there's a

2564
02:00:37,760 --> 02:00:40,760
Speaker 1: receiver on the roster for the Baltimore game who's not

2565
02:00:40,880 --> 02:00:43,160
Speaker 1: on the roster right now, I can almost predict that

2566
02:00:43,280 --> 02:00:45,720
Speaker 1: that might happen here. Yeah, I think that's going to

2567
02:00:45,760 --> 02:00:48,160
Speaker 1: be commonplace, not only for the Bills, but around the league.

2568
02:00:48,160 --> 02:00:51,120
Speaker 1: And I think it's going to be teams do that now.

2569
02:00:51,160 --> 02:00:54,280
Speaker 1: It's like an accepted practice where they call it churning

2570
02:00:54,360 --> 02:00:56,960
Speaker 1: the bottom of your roster. You're always looking to upgrade

2571
02:00:56,960 --> 02:00:58,920
Speaker 1: and if and mostly what you're doing is looking to

2572
02:00:59,040 --> 02:01:03,760
Speaker 1: upgrade athletically and on special teams right away, and then

2573
02:01:04,520 --> 02:01:06,920
Speaker 1: on the far side of that a guy who could develop.

2574
02:01:07,360 --> 02:01:12,160
Speaker 1: So they're they're picking up young athletes who for whatever reason,

2575
02:01:12,200 --> 02:01:14,400
Speaker 1: and really and it boils down to really knowing your

2576
02:01:14,440 --> 02:01:17,800
Speaker 1: stuff if you're brandon being in the scouting department, Say,

2577
02:01:17,920 --> 02:01:21,040
Speaker 1: for instance, if you've got a team with a bunch

2578
02:01:21,120 --> 02:01:24,400
Speaker 1: of good wide receivers and they're cutting young talented wide receivers,

2579
02:01:24,680 --> 02:01:26,680
Speaker 1: those are the guys who have the biggest upside because

2580
02:01:26,720 --> 02:01:28,839
Speaker 1: that was a tougher roster to make at that position.

2581
02:01:29,240 --> 02:01:32,640
Speaker 1: You don't want to get a team for instance. You know,

2582
02:01:32,920 --> 02:01:35,000
Speaker 1: for instance, if the Bills here have a reputation of

2583
02:01:35,080 --> 02:01:38,760
Speaker 1: having a struggling linebacker unit, you know, most teams are

2584
02:01:38,800 --> 02:01:40,680
Speaker 1: not going to sign the guys that the Bills release.

2585
02:01:40,920 --> 02:01:44,080
Speaker 1: They're going to sign guys that from teams who have

2586
02:01:44,200 --> 02:01:47,440
Speaker 1: a ton of really good linebackers and who have played

2587
02:01:47,520 --> 02:01:50,080
Speaker 1: well at linebacker for a lot of years. So that

2588
02:01:50,320 --> 02:01:53,600
Speaker 1: goes on throughout the first three or four weeks of

2589
02:01:53,640 --> 02:01:55,600
Speaker 1: the regular season, and then it kind of cools off

2590
02:01:55,960 --> 02:01:59,800
Speaker 1: as as they find guys they like and in its

2591
02:01:59,800 --> 02:02:03,480
Speaker 1: own affected by injuries later on. But that's gonna happens.

2592
02:02:03,760 --> 02:02:06,000
Speaker 1: There are guys out there on other teams who will

2593
02:02:06,000 --> 02:02:08,280
Speaker 1: probably be wearing a Buffalo Bill's helmet on Opening Day.

2594
02:02:08,320 --> 02:02:10,160
Speaker 1: Who do you want to see more from in Sunday's

2595
02:02:10,240 --> 02:02:12,920
Speaker 1: game calls on this Trevor in Miami, Go ahead, Trevor,

2596
02:02:12,960 --> 02:02:17,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Thanks for having me. So obviously

2597
02:02:18,280 --> 02:02:20,880
Speaker 1: I would love to see some more from from either

2598
02:02:20,960 --> 02:02:22,800
Speaker 1: of the receivers. And like you just said, you know,

2599
02:02:24,160 --> 02:02:27,080
Speaker 1: you know, it is a little nerve wracking, so to speak, right,

2600
02:02:27,200 --> 02:02:30,640
Speaker 1: not not knowing, But do you think that they haven't

2601
02:02:31,080 --> 02:02:34,440
Speaker 1: you know, quote unquote shown well because last week was

2602
02:02:34,480 --> 02:02:38,880
Speaker 1: their first game back, those two receivers specifically, and it

2603
02:02:38,960 --> 02:02:41,920
Speaker 1: seemed like the tight ends got the heavy amount of

2604
02:02:43,360 --> 02:02:45,680
Speaker 1: you know, targets. So I guess what I'm saying is,

2605
02:02:45,720 --> 02:02:50,360
Speaker 1: I'm almost cautiously optimistic on this week that we're going

2606
02:02:50,400 --> 02:02:53,000
Speaker 1: to see one or both of those guys step up

2607
02:02:53,040 --> 02:02:55,520
Speaker 1: because it's more of a normal weekend, they got a

2608
02:02:56,080 --> 02:02:58,680
Speaker 1: bit more practice under their belts, both of those, meaning

2609
02:02:58,760 --> 02:03:03,280
Speaker 1: Corey Coleman and Zay Jones. Right, yeah, yeah, maybe I hope,

2610
02:03:03,320 --> 02:03:05,080
Speaker 1: So I hope, yeah, I hope for either one of them.

2611
02:03:05,120 --> 02:03:06,480
Speaker 1: I was going to say, I really hope for Zay

2612
02:03:06,560 --> 02:03:08,920
Speaker 1: Jones to take a step forward, But I'd take either

2613
02:03:09,000 --> 02:03:11,840
Speaker 1: one making some big plays this week that neither one

2614
02:03:11,880 --> 02:03:13,840
Speaker 1: of them made, you know, much of an impact last week.

2615
02:03:13,880 --> 02:03:15,640
Speaker 1: For whatever you look, the offense was a mess at

2616
02:03:15,640 --> 02:03:17,800
Speaker 1: the start of their camp. It makes some sense that

2617
02:03:18,640 --> 02:03:21,400
Speaker 1: Corey Coleman and Zay Jones would be more comfortable. They're

2618
02:03:21,400 --> 02:03:25,280
Speaker 1: gonna be working hard at it. They're gonna they're looking

2619
02:03:25,360 --> 02:03:30,080
Speaker 1: to probably play extended periods much Corey Coleman particularly, he's

2620
02:03:30,080 --> 02:03:32,600
Speaker 1: going to play more in this game, and Zay Jones

2621
02:03:32,640 --> 02:03:34,280
Speaker 1: should be used to playing a little bit more. But

2622
02:03:34,680 --> 02:03:36,560
Speaker 1: no question, it makes some sense that those guys are

2623
02:03:36,600 --> 02:03:39,360
Speaker 1: going to have an opportunity to show more. They're gonna

2624
02:03:39,360 --> 02:03:41,640
Speaker 1: get more targets, They're gonna know more of what they're doing.

2625
02:03:41,680 --> 02:03:44,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna be be more confident in everything they do. Now.

2626
02:03:44,360 --> 02:03:46,520
Speaker 1: Zay Jones, there's no excuse for him not knowing what

2627
02:03:46,600 --> 02:03:48,560
Speaker 1: he's doing out there. He's been here from the very

2628
02:03:48,600 --> 02:03:51,320
Speaker 1: beginning of the installation of this offense. Even though he

2629
02:03:51,360 --> 02:03:53,640
Speaker 1: hasn't been running through it during training camp because of

2630
02:03:53,680 --> 02:03:57,120
Speaker 1: his knee injury. You gotta take mental reps, so he

2631
02:03:57,240 --> 02:04:01,840
Speaker 1: should get better. Really quick Coleman, there's a lot on

2632
02:04:01,960 --> 02:04:05,040
Speaker 1: his plate. I think that's a guy that has something

2633
02:04:05,080 --> 02:04:07,720
Speaker 1: to prove. They don't have much invested in him. I mean,

2634
02:04:08,080 --> 02:04:10,720
Speaker 1: he's here. They traded for him, but they didn't trade

2635
02:04:10,800 --> 02:04:14,600
Speaker 1: much for him, and they're not gonna They're not gonna

2636
02:04:14,640 --> 02:04:17,480
Speaker 1: think twice about, you know, kicking a guy who can't

2637
02:04:17,520 --> 02:04:20,720
Speaker 1: pick it up fast enough to the curb. So he's

2638
02:04:20,760 --> 02:04:23,920
Speaker 1: gonna have to show some stuff physically and production wise

2639
02:04:24,400 --> 02:04:26,200
Speaker 1: to hang in there, much more so, I think than

2640
02:04:26,320 --> 02:04:29,280
Speaker 1: Zay Jones called from Jeff and Jamestown. Hi, Jeff, go ahead,

2641
02:04:29,280 --> 02:04:31,680
Speaker 1: you're on the air with us. Hey, guys, I got

2642
02:04:31,760 --> 02:04:35,280
Speaker 1: two questions for you. The first question is what two

2643
02:04:35,400 --> 02:04:38,520
Speaker 1: players do you guys think, from what you've seen in

2644
02:04:39,000 --> 02:04:43,520
Speaker 1: practice and in games, is ready for a breakout season.

2645
02:04:44,360 --> 02:04:48,560
Speaker 1: And my second question is, with the retirement of the

2646
02:04:49,160 --> 02:04:52,560
Speaker 1: lineback we had, we're already kind of weak at the position.

2647
02:04:53,160 --> 02:04:56,040
Speaker 1: Do you see and all other teams have looked towards

2648
02:04:56,160 --> 02:05:00,760
Speaker 1: Mac for a trade? Do you see me? Maybe if

2649
02:05:00,800 --> 02:05:03,200
Speaker 1: he's as signed by a week one, the Bills could

2650
02:05:03,240 --> 02:05:08,800
Speaker 1: be in play for him. Point Well, again, we asked

2651
02:05:08,800 --> 02:05:11,880
Speaker 1: about it earlier in the Jason Lachan for report. His

2652
02:05:12,080 --> 02:05:15,000
Speaker 1: report was that the Bills had inquired it and made

2653
02:05:15,160 --> 02:05:18,040
Speaker 1: inquiries about it, as have helisted five teams that have

2654
02:05:18,120 --> 02:05:20,440
Speaker 1: done that, and it'd be kind of surprising if the

2655
02:05:20,520 --> 02:05:22,200
Speaker 1: Bills had not at that point. It would be a

2656
02:05:22,320 --> 02:05:27,400
Speaker 1: really steep price, uh in draft marks and maybe players.

2657
02:05:27,520 --> 02:05:30,080
Speaker 1: And I've you know, I've had people tweeting at me

2658
02:05:30,160 --> 02:05:33,480
Speaker 1: and my mentions about you know, they've got these ideas

2659
02:05:33,560 --> 02:05:37,080
Speaker 1: like trading you know, a guy like an AJ mccaron

2660
02:05:37,280 --> 02:05:40,600
Speaker 1: and a Chris Ivory or somebody even you know, even

2661
02:05:40,640 --> 02:05:43,280
Speaker 1: some people thrown out Lashawn McCoy, that kind of stuff,

2662
02:05:43,360 --> 02:05:45,600
Speaker 1: traded out, you know. I mean, it was gonna be

2663
02:05:45,680 --> 02:05:48,720
Speaker 1: a very steep price to get a guy like Khalil

2664
02:05:48,840 --> 02:05:52,760
Speaker 1: Mack off the Raider's roster, and it's gonna cost a

2665
02:05:52,840 --> 02:05:54,560
Speaker 1: lot to pay him, and it's gonna you're gonna have

2666
02:05:54,600 --> 02:05:56,160
Speaker 1: to sign him a long term. Now the Bills have

2667
02:05:56,240 --> 02:05:58,640
Speaker 1: got that money next year, and maybe they can tell

2668
02:05:58,760 --> 02:06:01,560
Speaker 1: him like after this year, we'll sign you that money

2669
02:06:01,800 --> 02:06:08,360
Speaker 1: or whatever. But it will cost a lot of assets

2670
02:06:08,440 --> 02:06:10,760
Speaker 1: to get a guy like Khalil Mack from the Raiders.

2671
02:06:11,160 --> 02:06:15,240
Speaker 1: His first question about Ready for Breakout does um does

2672
02:06:15,280 --> 02:06:17,960
Speaker 1: turdevious White count because I do think he's gonna be

2673
02:06:18,080 --> 02:06:20,680
Speaker 1: an He's gonna be nationally recognized by the end of

2674
02:06:20,720 --> 02:06:23,160
Speaker 1: the twenty eighteen season as one of the best corners

2675
02:06:23,200 --> 02:06:25,440
Speaker 1: in the game. He already gets a lot of not

2676
02:06:25,640 --> 02:06:29,320
Speaker 1: enough recognition, but some recognition. Yeah, I think Davious White

2677
02:06:29,360 --> 02:06:31,200
Speaker 1: would be my candidate for I mean I'm talking about

2678
02:06:31,440 --> 02:06:33,840
Speaker 1: I'm talking about he's a Pro Bowl performer. I believe

2679
02:06:33,840 --> 02:06:35,080
Speaker 1: he is, and I think he'll make a Pro Bowl

2680
02:06:35,160 --> 02:06:37,840
Speaker 1: this year. Is that breakount? Yeah, I'll take that. I'll

2681
02:06:37,840 --> 02:06:41,840
Speaker 1: accept that. I one player that I thought early on

2682
02:06:41,960 --> 02:06:45,000
Speaker 1: in camp and I've watched and I and I see

2683
02:06:45,320 --> 02:06:48,000
Speaker 1: him around and he has not practiced at all yet

2684
02:06:48,160 --> 02:06:52,960
Speaker 1: is Trent Murphy. I think, up until you know this,

2685
02:06:53,480 --> 02:06:56,840
Speaker 1: he's got a groin injury. He's recovering from a knee injury.

2686
02:06:56,920 --> 02:06:58,880
Speaker 1: But he's his knee I think is one hundred percent

2687
02:06:59,040 --> 02:07:02,680
Speaker 1: his groin injury, what he injured early. I think that's

2688
02:07:02,720 --> 02:07:05,840
Speaker 1: a guy that has an opportunity and the ability and

2689
02:07:06,000 --> 02:07:09,920
Speaker 1: this and the you know they just I think he's

2690
02:07:10,160 --> 02:07:14,360
Speaker 1: likely is gonna have a breakout year. I like what

2691
02:07:14,480 --> 02:07:16,480
Speaker 1: I saw in the brief stand he had here in practice.

2692
02:07:16,560 --> 02:07:19,320
Speaker 1: I like his attitude. I think you heard him on

2693
02:07:20,680 --> 02:07:23,800
Speaker 1: embedded what this opportunity means to him, how motivated he

2694
02:07:24,000 --> 02:07:26,680
Speaker 1: is to make it happen. And I saw first hand

2695
02:07:26,720 --> 02:07:28,280
Speaker 1: in the first couple of days of practice how good

2696
02:07:28,320 --> 02:07:30,280
Speaker 1: he can rush the pastor so if he can stay

2697
02:07:30,320 --> 02:07:32,640
Speaker 1: healthier and get healthy and get on the field, I

2698
02:07:32,720 --> 02:07:34,720
Speaker 1: think Trent Murphy's going to surprise a lot of people

2699
02:07:34,840 --> 02:07:37,920
Speaker 1: after losing all of twenty seventeen time for NFL True

2700
02:07:38,080 --> 02:07:41,160
Speaker 1: or False presented by Yancey's Fancy New York's Artists and

2701
02:07:41,280 --> 02:07:44,440
Speaker 1: Cheese True false. How about this one? It was wrong

2702
02:07:44,920 --> 02:07:47,200
Speaker 1: for the Browns to put Tyrod Taylor back in last

2703
02:07:47,280 --> 02:07:50,600
Speaker 1: night following the injury landed on his left hand, went

2704
02:07:50,680 --> 02:07:53,080
Speaker 1: in headed to examine the report is he had a

2705
02:07:53,160 --> 02:07:56,760
Speaker 1: dislocated pinky I guess taped up and they put him

2706
02:07:56,800 --> 02:07:59,400
Speaker 1: back in the game on their next possession. I do

2707
02:07:59,560 --> 02:08:02,960
Speaker 1: think it was wrong. He's the starting quarterback, that's his hand.

2708
02:08:03,200 --> 02:08:05,360
Speaker 1: I think that's um reckless on the part of the

2709
02:08:05,440 --> 02:08:07,600
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. And I hear what you're saying. Tyrod probably

2710
02:08:07,600 --> 02:08:09,400
Speaker 1: went to them and said I'm good, I'm in let

2711
02:08:09,440 --> 02:08:11,440
Speaker 1: me go. But at some point it's the head coaches

2712
02:08:11,480 --> 02:08:14,200
Speaker 1: say no, Tyrod, we need you to start the season

2713
02:08:14,280 --> 02:08:16,800
Speaker 1: September ninth against Pittsburgh. You're not going back in this game.

2714
02:08:17,080 --> 02:08:19,920
Speaker 1: I think it was wrong. I think it's false. I

2715
02:08:19,960 --> 02:08:22,760
Speaker 1: don't think it's wrong. Tyrod went I and I said

2716
02:08:22,800 --> 02:08:26,240
Speaker 1: this to Lorenzo, and I still believe it. Not only

2717
02:08:26,360 --> 02:08:31,840
Speaker 1: did Hugh Jackson not want to look like he's throwing

2718
02:08:31,840 --> 02:08:34,200
Speaker 1: a wrench in the quarterback race by not letting Baker

2719
02:08:34,280 --> 02:08:40,520
Speaker 1: Mayfield be successful, I think he truly wants Tyrod to

2720
02:08:40,560 --> 02:08:43,120
Speaker 1: be successful. Tyrod wanted to go back in. Tyrod knows

2721
02:08:43,160 --> 02:08:45,840
Speaker 1: if he sits down Baker Mayfield gets in, he may

2722
02:08:45,960 --> 02:08:49,080
Speaker 1: never see the field again. And I think Hugh Jackson

2723
02:08:49,160 --> 02:08:51,160
Speaker 1: kind of feels that as well. And I don't have

2724
02:08:51,200 --> 02:08:54,840
Speaker 1: a problem with that, particularly from Tyrod's perspective. If it's

2725
02:08:54,880 --> 02:08:57,680
Speaker 1: your job and you're the starting quarterback, you can take

2726
02:08:57,760 --> 02:08:59,720
Speaker 1: me out when I don't play well enough, but I'm

2727
02:08:59,760 --> 02:09:01,800
Speaker 1: not coming off if I can. I have a problem.

2728
02:09:01,920 --> 02:09:03,960
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with Tyrode either his desire

2729
02:09:04,000 --> 02:09:05,280
Speaker 1: to play. I do have a problem with a guy

2730
02:09:05,320 --> 02:09:08,080
Speaker 1: who's in charge, who is counting on him to be

2731
02:09:08,160 --> 02:09:13,160
Speaker 1: his opening day starter. Risking further injury. I think, look,

2732
02:09:13,240 --> 02:09:15,200
Speaker 1: I used to like the Cleveland Browns kind of. I

2733
02:09:15,320 --> 02:09:17,440
Speaker 1: used to thought they were a fun little team. This

2734
02:09:17,680 --> 02:09:20,960
Speaker 1: offseason has turned me into a Cleveland Browns hater. And

2735
02:09:21,200 --> 02:09:23,800
Speaker 1: our second question deals with the Browns. True or false

2736
02:09:23,840 --> 02:09:27,160
Speaker 1: The brown should still sign wide receiver Dez Bryant. No,

2737
02:09:27,480 --> 02:09:30,920
Speaker 1: no false. I mean for what for hard Knocks to

2738
02:09:31,000 --> 02:09:33,240
Speaker 1: make it improve the ratings on Hard Knocks is that

2739
02:09:33,760 --> 02:09:36,080
Speaker 1: it seems like hard Knocks is driving. You just said

2740
02:09:36,120 --> 02:09:39,440
Speaker 1: why why Hugh Jackson may have made that call on

2741
02:09:39,600 --> 02:09:42,640
Speaker 1: the Tyrod Taylor. Does hard Knocks drive every decision they

2742
02:09:42,760 --> 02:09:45,040
Speaker 1: make down there in Cleveland? Now? If so, then you

2743
02:09:45,160 --> 02:09:48,120
Speaker 1: know you'll get what you deserve. No false. I think

2744
02:09:48,200 --> 02:09:51,880
Speaker 1: signing Dez Bryant would be the browniest of brown things

2745
02:09:51,960 --> 02:09:54,200
Speaker 1: to do, And you don't want to do that. You

2746
02:09:54,360 --> 02:09:58,360
Speaker 1: just don't. Not with Josh Gordon being back on the team,

2747
02:10:00,440 --> 02:10:06,120
Speaker 1: you know, and Antonio I can't remember the other receiver

2748
02:10:06,280 --> 02:10:09,880
Speaker 1: has arrested for with a suspended license. I mean they

2749
02:10:09,960 --> 02:10:14,120
Speaker 1: got issues um off the field. You want to minimize

2750
02:10:14,160 --> 02:10:17,920
Speaker 1: all that stuff, And I think, uh yeah, I just

2751
02:10:18,000 --> 02:10:20,480
Speaker 1: don't think des Bryant would be an asset to their

2752
02:10:20,520 --> 02:10:22,920
Speaker 1: culture that they're trying to build and I don't and uh,

2753
02:10:23,200 --> 02:10:29,160
Speaker 1: yeah it's Antonio Callaway and yeah, I think that's false.

2754
02:10:29,200 --> 02:10:32,040
Speaker 1: I don't. They should not sign the NFL. True or false?

2755
02:10:32,120 --> 02:10:34,160
Speaker 1: Brought to you by Yancey's Fancy New York's artist and

2756
02:10:34,200 --> 02:10:36,200
Speaker 1: Chie Stephen. I'm back with more One Bills Live from

2757
02:10:36,200 --> 02:10:53,240
Speaker 1: One Bill's Drive and this is Buffalo Bill's Radio. What

2758
02:10:53,360 --> 02:10:56,160
Speaker 1: have we learned from today's show? Presented by Advanced Alarm

2759
02:10:56,240 --> 02:10:59,840
Speaker 1: providing Western New York's homes and businesses with the Finescence

2760
02:11:00,040 --> 02:11:02,680
Speaker 1: Curney in Home Theater, the Preferring Alarm and Home Theater

2761
02:11:02,720 --> 02:11:06,240
Speaker 1: Provider all the Buffalo Bills. We had a killer show today,

2762
02:11:06,840 --> 02:11:09,400
Speaker 1: we did. I'm not afraid to pat ourselves on the back.

2763
02:11:09,840 --> 02:11:11,520
Speaker 1: I listened to the show if I didn't work here,

2764
02:11:11,680 --> 02:11:13,240
Speaker 1: and now that I work here, I don't have to

2765
02:11:14,040 --> 02:11:16,640
Speaker 1: um What have we learn from today's show? Preston Brown

2766
02:11:16,880 --> 02:11:20,160
Speaker 1: great guests, Right, former Bills linebacker four years year now

2767
02:11:20,560 --> 02:11:23,120
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, going to start a linebacker for then on Sunday,

2768
02:11:23,360 --> 02:11:25,760
Speaker 1: talked about his transition from the Buffalo Bills to the

2769
02:11:25,840 --> 02:11:30,160
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. Having a cross the street to go practice

2770
02:11:30,200 --> 02:11:33,560
Speaker 1: as different. Has it go though it's a little difficult.

2771
02:11:33,560 --> 02:11:35,240
Speaker 1: We had the West Fighters in the rain for about

2772
02:11:35,280 --> 02:11:37,360
Speaker 1: a week, so just getting used to the things that

2773
02:11:37,880 --> 02:11:39,520
Speaker 1: had Buffalo that you might not have to do. Our

2774
02:11:39,720 --> 02:11:41,520
Speaker 1: stuff that I have here the things that didn't have

2775
02:11:41,760 --> 02:11:44,680
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. So that's the biggest change so far. But

2776
02:11:45,120 --> 02:11:46,880
Speaker 1: I think it's just been trying to get to know

2777
02:11:46,960 --> 02:11:49,920
Speaker 1: the teammates man the different personalities and the coaches and

2778
02:11:50,440 --> 02:11:52,320
Speaker 1: a chub salace, but trying to get it each day.

2779
02:11:52,600 --> 02:11:54,200
Speaker 1: Preston Brown trying to get used to it in his

2780
02:11:54,280 --> 02:11:57,560
Speaker 1: hometown of Cincinnati. We had Charles Davis on the show today.

2781
02:11:57,840 --> 02:12:00,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna be calling the color an assists of Sunday's

2782
02:12:00,960 --> 02:12:03,760
Speaker 1: game Bills and Bengals on the Fox Television Network. Charles

2783
02:12:03,840 --> 02:12:06,880
Speaker 1: Davis gave us his impressions of Bill's rickey quarterback Josh Allen.

2784
02:12:08,920 --> 02:12:11,680
Speaker 1: I use the word comfortable before I think taking the

2785
02:12:12,000 --> 02:12:15,040
Speaker 1: play calls in from Brian day, Bowl and staff, being

2786
02:12:15,040 --> 02:12:16,560
Speaker 1: able to get him in and out of the huddle

2787
02:12:16,600 --> 02:12:19,160
Speaker 1: and execute it properly, being able to make you know

2788
02:12:19,280 --> 02:12:22,400
Speaker 1: the play changes when when they show up, letting that

2789
02:12:22,520 --> 02:12:26,680
Speaker 1: natural athleticism come out. Everything that you saw that he

2790
02:12:26,800 --> 02:12:30,480
Speaker 1: possessed in college and you wanted more consistency. I think

2791
02:12:30,520 --> 02:12:33,080
Speaker 1: it'll come with time and is starting to come already.

2792
02:12:33,440 --> 02:12:36,080
Speaker 1: But like I said, that doors open for him now

2793
02:12:36,240 --> 02:12:39,000
Speaker 1: because unfortunately for a J. McCarron with his injury, the

2794
02:12:39,160 --> 02:12:41,600
Speaker 1: doors open for Josh and I think the he'll'll quit

2795
02:12:41,680 --> 02:12:43,800
Speaker 1: himself well on Sunday. Yeah, I do too. And you

2796
02:12:43,840 --> 02:12:45,840
Speaker 1: know we've talked. Let's check our Twitter poll because we

2797
02:12:46,200 --> 02:12:48,800
Speaker 1: ignored the quarterbacks in today's Twitter poll for a reason

2798
02:12:49,240 --> 02:12:51,560
Speaker 1: because all we've done is talk about quarterbacks all week long.

2799
02:12:51,680 --> 02:12:53,560
Speaker 1: So the rest of it, who are you looking at?

2800
02:12:53,680 --> 02:12:55,960
Speaker 1: Who do you want to see more from in Sunday's

2801
02:12:56,000 --> 02:12:59,040
Speaker 1: game against the Cincinnati Bengals. On Twitter, most of you,

2802
02:12:59,200 --> 02:13:01,640
Speaker 1: fifty three percent of you said you're looking to see

2803
02:13:01,680 --> 02:13:04,280
Speaker 1: more from Corey Coleman, thirty three percent said you want

2804
02:13:04,320 --> 02:13:06,800
Speaker 1: let's see more from Zay Jones seven percent, Matt Milano

2805
02:13:07,120 --> 02:13:10,000
Speaker 1: seven percent other. But Steve, let's face a quarterback is

2806
02:13:10,040 --> 02:13:12,320
Speaker 1: the story, and we've talked about this yesterday. What does

2807
02:13:12,400 --> 02:13:14,480
Speaker 1: he have to show us? What does Josh Allen have

2808
02:13:14,640 --> 02:13:17,720
Speaker 1: to do to be the starting quarterback on September ninth?

2809
02:13:17,720 --> 02:13:19,560
Speaker 1: What are you looking for? Yeah, it's interesting too, because

2810
02:13:20,800 --> 02:13:23,520
Speaker 1: as we've spoken about it and gone through all the scenarios,

2811
02:13:23,640 --> 02:13:26,440
Speaker 1: the lower the bar seems to be coming. Yeah, you

2812
02:13:26,520 --> 02:13:29,000
Speaker 1: know what I mean, the bar we started out, I said, well, no,

2813
02:13:29,160 --> 02:13:31,520
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's not gonna start, and it's like, well,

2814
02:13:31,680 --> 02:13:33,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna start, and he's gonna playing. Well, okay through

2815
02:13:33,840 --> 02:13:35,760
Speaker 1: that made that play in Cleveland and look good on

2816
02:13:35,800 --> 02:13:38,640
Speaker 1: those two drives. Well, you know maybe, and it's to

2817
02:13:38,720 --> 02:13:40,560
Speaker 1: the point now where if he just keeps on keeping on,

2818
02:13:41,400 --> 02:13:44,400
Speaker 1: he might win. He's lining up against Baltimore. Yeah, all right, Well,

2819
02:13:44,680 --> 02:13:47,040
Speaker 1: we'll get you back on Wednesday. Steve comes back to
