You know how we have troubleshooting experts here, Steve, 14 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 2: you roll. 15 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 3: Your eyes when you read the destroyer like you're having 16 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 3: problems with your electronics equipment. 17 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 2: Oh you know, and. 18 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:13,759 Speaker 3: The first thing they always say is make sure it's 19 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 3: plugged in, And you're always like, yeah, it's plugged in. 20 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 3: Come on, yeah, yours wasn't plugged in. Yeah that's pretty good. 21 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, we'll be good from here on out though. 22 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 2: Now that we're back in studio with training camp, reaching 23 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 2: a conclusion, operation operations shift here to One Bill's Drive. 24 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 2: Right up, until we hit the regular season. And the 25 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 2: players had a walk through session today in advance of 26 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 2: their pre season opener. Because we are here. 27 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 3: I told Bobby Babbage I had five bucks, says he 28 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 3: gets caught with ten on the field. Now, wait, I 29 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 3: mean that's what today was all about for these guys. 30 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 3: They send out a personnel group in the game. Yeah 31 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 3: you're down, who's up? You know, and they got all 32 00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 3: of that stuff and you know, the tui shins, the 33 00:01:59,440 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 3: whole thing out. 34 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 2: I have to tell you this, the phase of the 35 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 2: game that has the most challenging time in the preseason 36 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 2: is unequivocally special teams because of all the different people. 37 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, because here's the problem. Here's what you think. So 38 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 3: on offense, you've got like fourteen starters. I know there's 39 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 3: only eleven on the field at the time, but they 40 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 3: go different personnel groups. So they might have they might 41 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 3: start the game with three tight ends or three wives 42 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,679 Speaker 3: or four wives or two backs and one time, you 43 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,119 Speaker 3: know that kind of stuff. So you got like fourteen 44 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 3: guys that know that on the first snap of the 45 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 3: game they might be on the field depending on the 46 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 3: kick return or whatever happen. Same thing on defense, so 47 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 3: they have like fourteen guys there, So that's you know, 48 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 3: fourteen guys on one side of the ball, fourteen on 49 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 3: the other. On special teams, you literally have like sixty 50 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 3: six guys that you got sixty six spots you've got 51 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 3: to fill punt, punt returns, kickoff, kickoff, return, field goal, 52 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 3: fuelgal defense. That's a lot. And that's not sixty six guys. 53 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 3: What is that? 54 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 2: Well, that's eleven times Yeah, y has sixty six guys. 55 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 2: I was eleven times six. 56 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 3: I should never doubt myself. But that's it. So it's 57 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 3: sixty six slots that they go out there and substitute through. 58 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 3: And you've got to know who's behind you, who's ahead 59 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 3: of you, and and let alone your assignment if you 60 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 3: have to take the snap. So it is they do 61 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 3: go through it. It's a tradition unlike any other. So 62 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 3: today was what they were doing, and the coaches are 63 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 3: like going, ah, so many things going on. 64 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 2: There's a lot, it's a lot, a lot of teas 65 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 2: to cross, and it's tedious because of course you got 66 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: you gotta have eleven guys. 67 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 3: But it it becomes complicated when the game is unpredictable. 68 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: So yeah, uh, before we get to our Bills news 69 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 2: and notes. We should remind you that it is an 70 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 2: OBL Friday fan mailbag show, So any question you have 71 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 2: about the Bills, the roster, the depth chart, the preseason schedule, 72 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 2: whatever it is. Fire your questions off to us. Add 73 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 2: one Bill's Live on Twitter, or you give us a call. 74 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 2: Eight O three zero five point fifty one eighty eight 75 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 2: five fifty two five fifty Those are the numbers and 76 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 2: we have open lines for you, so chime in at 77 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 2: your leisure between now and three pm. But we have 78 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 2: some news to get to, so we're gonna get right 79 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 2: to that here and now and leading us off preseason 80 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 2: Game number one on tap tomorrow against the Giants, kickoff 81 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 2: one pm. As we know because Sean McDermott said it 82 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 2: in his press conference yesterday, Josh Allen will not be 83 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 2: playing in the game. We also expect a number of 84 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 2: the players on the injury list to also sit this 85 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 2: one out. Among the sure fire non participants because of injury, 86 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 2: Max Harriston, Curtis, Samuel Taylor, Rap Khalil Shakir Shaq Thompson, 87 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,559 Speaker 2: Cedric Van Pran, Grainger, Tylan Grabil, Alec Anderson, Caden Prather, 88 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 2: and Tyler Bass, Cole Bishop as well. Yeah, and Cole Bishop. Yes, 89 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,119 Speaker 2: And there are some other players who are just back 90 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 2: from injury who may also, you know, go through warm 91 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 2: ups and everything, but then not play in the game. 92 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 2: Because if you've only gotten two practices in off of 93 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 2: injury and then go play in a game of Brown, 94 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 2: that's not a great idea, Spencer. 95 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 3: Brown's not gonna not a great idea. And interestingly enough, 96 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 3: even those guys who are not gonna play, anybody who 97 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 3: can is going through warm ups. They're all gonna get 98 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 3: They're all gonna get warmed up. They're gonna go through 99 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 3: the pregame ritual, They're gonna go through the pregame stretch. 100 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 2: There's value in that. 101 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 3: There is value in that. And certainly, while they did 102 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 3: a little bit of that for the Return of the 103 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 3: Blue and Red, it's different. This is a game and 104 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 3: it's and that's so Yeah, everything counts and this is 105 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 3: evidence of that. With Tyler Bass not. 106 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 2: Expected to play, the Bills signed free agent kicker Cayden 107 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 2: Davis today to make room for him on the roster. 108 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 2: The Bills released wide receiver Kelly Acari. Davis had a 109 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 2: bit senior season at old Miss. Last year, he went 110 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 2: twenty four of twenty nine on field goals and put 111 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 2: up one hundred and twenty nine total points for the 112 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 2: Rebels last season. He worked out for the Bills on Thursday, 113 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 2: so he will kick tomorrow for Buffalo. There were a 114 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 2: handful of players who have recently returned from injury to 115 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 2: rel Bernard Dorian, William, Spencer Brown, and as Steve said, 116 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 2: there's a chance that they all warm up tomorrow leading 117 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 2: up to the game, but whether they actually play is 118 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 2: probably unlikely at this time. Still nothing new on the 119 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 2: James Cook contract extension. Front team had a walk through 120 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 2: today and word was Cook is in the building. As 121 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 2: for tomorrow's game, we'll have to wait and see, but 122 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 2: knowing he hasn't practiced the last few days, I think 123 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 2: it's doubtful. Even if miraculously some contract extension happens that 124 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 2: he would play in the game on Saturday, that's probably 125 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 2: a risk. Hey, appsent a contract extension does not want 126 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 2: to take. Let's go around the NFL, which is presented 127 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 2: by Kalaida Health, the official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills. 128 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 2: Not much news out of Giants camp concerning who is 129 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 2: playing and who is not other than rookie quarterback Jackson Dart. 130 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 2: Head coach Brian Dable did say Dart will play Saturday 131 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 2: against the Bills. Dart said his family is going to 132 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 2: be in attendance here for his first NFL action. He 133 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,679 Speaker 2: also revealed that he has watched a ton of Josh 134 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 2: Allen film, which makes sense since Josh ran Brian Dables 135 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 2: system here for five years. Dart said in a press 136 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 2: conference quote, He's been somebody who I've really looked up to, 137 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 2: and since coming here, just watching a ton of his 138 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 2: tape and how he was able to operate Coach Dabe's system, 139 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 2: It's going to be kind of surreal feeling to be 140 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 2: on the same field as him. Dart said he also 141 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 2: has spoken to Josh by phone for some advice on 142 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 2: being an NFL quarterback, and Dart said the following He's 143 00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 2: talked a lot about leadership that was kind of like 144 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 2: his main thing, and then trying to be the best 145 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 2: teammate for the guys around you, because as a quarterback 146 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 2: you have to raise the standards of everybody. Obviously schematics. 147 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 2: I think that what shows up on Coach Dave's record 148 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 2: is being able to coach many different quarterbacks who have 149 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 2: different skill sets and kind of molding offenses around what 150 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 2: they're good at. So kind of just hone in on 151 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 2: the key details of Coach Dave's offense and really trust it. 152 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 2: I think at times maybe quarterbacks will predetermine things and 153 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 2: not really trust the system. But the special thing about 154 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 2: Coach Dave system is he gives us a ton of freedom. 155 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 2: So there's answers to everything that you can really think of. 156 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 2: Quote and that's not really surprising, I think. 157 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 3: And yeah, it's it's an old story. Quarterbacks come in. 158 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 3: It's what happens from the neck up. And certainly when 159 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 3: you master the stuff from the neck up and a 160 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 3: guy like Josh and that guy like Jackson Dark to 161 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 3: a certain extent, you let your physical tools take over 162 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 3: and then then you become, you know, an MVP candidate. 163 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 3: But the position is all about the neck up and 164 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 3: being a leader and and elevating the guys around you. 165 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 3: It's simple, It's not easy. 166 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. Giants assistant at coach Mike Kafkas said that Dart 167 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 2: is right on schedule in terms of his development and 168 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 2: getting a handle on the Giants offensive scheme. But tomorrow 169 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 2: will be test number one for the quarterback they traded 170 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 2: up back into the first round to acquire after taking 171 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 2: Abdull Carter second overall. So yeah, that that defensive front 172 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 2: for the Giants is no joke. I mean, Dexter Lawrence 173 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 2: is an All Pro defensive tackle. And then you've got 174 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 2: Abdul Carter, Brian Burns, and Kevon Thibodeaux coming off the edge. 175 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 2: I mean those guys are all first round picks. That's 176 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 2: a crew and. 177 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 3: Abdull Carter has been apparently killing and that Giant and 178 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 3: the Giants are in a little bit of a dog 179 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,719 Speaker 3: fight of a division. Certainly they're in the midst of 180 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 3: a rebuild. I mean, you got a rookie quarterback trying 181 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 3: to get it make his way to being a starter. 182 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 3: You got Russ Wilson, you got Jameis Winston. So they're 183 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 3: a little bit don't forget Tommy Cutlers and Tommy Tommy DeVito. 184 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 3: So so the Giants are in a division where they're 185 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 3: picked forth to get fourth. 186 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and we already have talked about it on 187 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 2: this show back in May when the schedules came out 188 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 2: there will they die in schedule is brood. 189 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 3: It is absolutely br just for real quick. They go Washington, Dallas, 190 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 3: Kansas City, the Chargers. What and then that's month one. 191 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 3: Then they get New Orleans, Okay, then they go that's 192 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 3: the rest. They go Eagles, Broncos, Eagles, Niners, dear lord. 193 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, so and there's no let up there either. After that. 194 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 3: Then it's the Bears, which maybe we'll see, and then 195 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 3: it's Packers, Lions, Patriots, Command, Vikings, than Raiders, Cowboy. 196 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're hello, like nobody did the Giant. 197 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 3: It's the worst schedule in football. Yeah, it's the hardest 198 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 3: schedule in football bar none. 199 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 2: And yeah, I don't think it's close. It's it is 200 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 2: a gauntlet. Like maybe you come up for Air Saints 201 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 2: Week five, and maybe you come up for Air for 202 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 2: the Bears. But those games are both road games, Like 203 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 2: the perceived easiest games on their schedule are all on 204 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 2: the road. Even at Las Vegas late, you're still on 205 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 2: the road. So yeah, it's I do not envy Brian Dable. 206 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 2: I mean, Joe Shane this year. I mean, you got 207 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 2: to play who you gotta play, But my goodness, you 208 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 2: got a lot of playoff teams sitting there, so yeah, 209 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 2: good luck to them. 210 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 3: Uh. 211 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 2: Speaking of the preseason. Preseason action began last night. As 212 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 2: far as week one of the preseason. We know he 213 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 2: had the Hall of Fame game last week, but the 214 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 2: full preseason slate began last night. The defending Super Bowl 215 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 2: champion Eagles beat the Bengals thirty four to twenty seven. 216 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 2: Philadelphia was up thirty four to seventeen early in the 217 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 2: fourth before some of the Cincinnati backups put up ten 218 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 2: points late to make it a one score game. Ravens 219 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 2: beat the Colts twenty four to sixteen. Colts quarterback Anthony 220 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 2: Richardson left the game with a dislocated pinky on his 221 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 2: throwing hand. I was listening to the announcer and I 222 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 2: didn't mean to laugh at this, but his description made 223 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 2: me chuckle. They said, if you're just joining us. Colts 224 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 2: quarterback Anthony Richardson left the game early after he was 225 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 2: sacked in the game by David Ajabo because three of 226 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 2: his fingers were pointing south and one was pointing east, 227 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 2: and that pinky was you know, it was basically the 228 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 2: letter L. 229 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 3: So, yeah, it happens. 230 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 2: But the good news is the reports are indicating he 231 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 2: could be playing again as soon as next Saturday. In 232 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 2: their next preseason game. He just kind of pop that 233 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 2: thing back in, put some tape on it. Hope everything's okay. 234 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 2: I mean, at least it's not a major finger in 235 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 2: the throwing motion. You know, your thumb or your index finger. 236 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 3: It's not a major finger because it's not one of mine. 237 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 3: But well, right, yeah, tell Anthony that it does go sight. Yeah, 238 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 3: it hurts. And what they'll they'll tape it together. He'll 239 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 3: throw and see how he does, and they'll they'll tinker 240 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 3: with different ways to make it comfortable while he throws, right, 241 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 3: but you know it'll it'll bother him. 242 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, So ravensby Colts twenty four to sixteen, and then 243 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 2: the late game out West Raiders at Seahawks ended in 244 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 2: a twenty three to twenty three tie. Daniel Carlson the 245 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 2: kicker for Las Vegas. He had a fifty six yarder 246 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 2: early in the fourth and then a fifty one yarder 247 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 2: with one twelve remaining to secure the tie. Rookie first 248 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 2: round pick Ashton Genty, the running back out of Boise State, 249 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 2: a rough go of it in limited action, three carries 250 00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 2: from minus one yard and three preseason games on tap Tonight, 251 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 2: Lions at Falcons Browns at Panthers and Commanders at Patriots. 252 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 2: On the injury front across the league, some bad news 253 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 2: for the Chargers. Starting left tackle Rashaun Slater, who just 254 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 2: signed a huge contract extension, torn patel attendant in practice Thursday. 255 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 2: He is out for the year. Yah put on injured 256 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 2: reserves today. That is a Crushers and that's a team 257 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 2: that drafted Joe Alt in the first round a year 258 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 2: ago and they lost him for almost the whole season 259 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 2: last year with a major injury. I want to say 260 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 2: it was about four or five games in if I 261 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 2: remember right, and he's their starting right tackle. Meanwhile, Raven's 262 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 2: rookie sixth round pick bllal Kone suffered a torn ligament 263 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 2: in his knee. He's a defensive back and he too 264 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 2: lost for the season. So I think everybody would prefer 265 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 2: not to see any more of those the rest of 266 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 2: the preseason. So cross your fingers for your players on 267 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 2: your respective team out there. 268 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 3: It doesn't take much to remind everybody why the preseason 269 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 3: game stink because they, yeah, they don't want to get 270 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 3: anybody hurt like that. 271 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, tough break for that Ravens rookie. So yeah, that's 272 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 2: around the NFL, presented by Kalida Healthy, official healthcare system 273 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 2: of the Buffalo Bills. As we said, it is obl 274 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 2: Fan Friday Mailbag. Any question you've got under the sun 275 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 2: about the Bills, their roster, the depth chart, who we 276 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 2: think we're gonna see show up and show out tomorrow. 277 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 2: Fire away at eight oh three, five point fifty one 278 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 2: eight eight eight, five fifty two, five fifty Those the 279 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 2: numbers to get on board with us, and we do 280 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 2: have open lines for you, so feel free to chime 281 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 2: in at your leisure. I think what I'm looking forward 282 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 2: to the most tomorrow, Steve, is the draft picks on 283 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 2: the D line, right, there's three of them. We know 284 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 2: they're going to play a lot. How do they look 285 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 2: in a real game like setting, Because even in training 286 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 2: camp when the pads are on, you're still only playing thud. 287 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 2: As we saw in the first episode of Hard Knocks, 288 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 2: everybody's got to stay the hell away from seventeen. So 289 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 2: D linemen like, even when they're in a pass rushing situation, 290 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 2: in a third down scenario during eleven on eleven team, 291 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 2: you know they're out of their stance, they're firing their 292 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 2: hand fighting and then they got to gear down. You know, 293 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 2: they can't finish the play because you got to stay 294 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 2: away from the quarterback. So this is really the first 295 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 2: time we're going to see them really getting after. 296 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 3: It, yep. And it's it's gonna be fun. And it's 297 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 3: fun for the players too. And I know that when 298 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 3: you get into these guys, get into their veteran years, 299 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 3: they're like, kind of really neat, let's go in. I 300 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 3: don't want to really do this for nothing, right, for 301 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 3: just to practice. But the young guys there there is 302 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 3: invigorating for them because they really feel like they've got 303 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 3: to play well and they put some pressure on themselves 304 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 3: and you can tell the volume is turned up on 305 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 3: these guys and they they respond or they don't respond. 306 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 3: It's gonna be fun. I'm I'm with you, Brownie. I'm 307 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 3: excited to see the young defensive lineman, the free agents, 308 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 3: whoever we might get to see play. I want to 309 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 3: see Trey White for a few reps. I want to 310 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 3: see how he looks out there. The injuries have been 311 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 3: a little bit of a menace toward the progress of 312 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 3: the entire team. Now you got you know, Rap and 313 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 3: Bishop or out of this game. That stinks. But I'm 314 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 3: with you anyway. I want to see the d line 315 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 3: get some pressure and do some things up front that 316 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 3: maybe we haven't seen in a few years. 317 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's pretty evident that the personnel department, the 318 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 2: coaching staff, they're excited to see a lot of the 319 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 2: young players on the defensive side of the ball, most 320 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 2: notably those defensive linemens. So any question you have, fire 321 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 2: away at eight o three, five point fifty one eighty eight, 322 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 2: five point fifty two, five fifty. We lead off today 323 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 2: with Tom on the west side. What do you got 324 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 2: for us? 325 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 3: Tom? 326 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 4: Hey, guys, good afternoon. It's a beautiful day out there, Brownie. 327 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 4: Steve was good talking to you yesterday, and Steve, you 328 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 4: corllaborated a lot of what I said about the smelling 329 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 4: salts yesterday. But here's my follow up question today. Does 330 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 4: this mean that any player that wants to use smelling 331 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,479 Speaker 4: salts will have to go into the blue tent first 332 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 4: and go under concussion protocol and have to clear it 333 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 4: before they even give them the smelling salts. Yeah. 334 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 5: What makes you say that, Well, because they said the 335 00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 5: smelling salts masked the concussion, and that's why they wanted 336 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 5: to eliminate it. 337 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I'm beking they're going to have to clear 338 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 4: concussion protocol before they can have. 339 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 3: No, you're overthinking it, Tom, That's not that's not the case. 340 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 3: What they're saying is that the team will not give 341 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 3: the players anything that will mask their concussion symptoms. 342 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 2: So they have to provide it themselves. 343 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 3: The players have to provide it themselves. And I'll say 344 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 3: this too, I said it yesterday the players. What we'll 345 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,640 Speaker 3: do is somebody like Josh or Dion or whoever will 346 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 3: just buy a huge amount of it and say, hey, 347 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 3: have this on the bench for us. They don't have 348 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 3: to go ask permission to use smelling salts. So that's 349 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 3: that wasn't collective. But the club, the club cannot provide it. 350 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 3: So it's like the club can't cover up their concussion 351 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 3: symptoms so that they can get them out on the field. Quicker. 352 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 3: That's that's what it is. 353 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 2: In the grand scheme of things. It's a legality cover 354 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 2: your rear end. League move here because the league is 355 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 2: all about player safety, and if they're providing smelling salts, 356 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 2: that can get in the way of their edict to 357 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 2: this promote player safety. So they say, look, the teams 358 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 2: and the league can't provide this on the sidelines anymore. 359 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 2: So if players still want to make use of those, 360 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 2: you know, to get awake and amped up for a 361 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 2: game or a play that's coming up, they got to 362 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 2: provide it themselves. 363 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. This to me, this is like the legal department 364 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 3: at two twelve Park Avenue in New York came down 365 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 3: the commissioner's office and said, Hey, by the way, we 366 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 3: if we supply that, we could be like, you need 367 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 3: to change that, and he says, okay, you can do it, 368 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 3: but you have to do it yourselves. Yeah, leaguers, it's 369 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 3: like legal department comes down, says, we got a problem 370 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 3: here in the league, says, what's the easiest way to 371 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 3: fix it? Oh, they buy their own Okay, fine, that's 372 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 3: that's what this is. There won't be any discernible difference 373 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 3: for players or whatever, except that they're going to have 374 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 3: to at some point like, hey, did you bring smelling sauce? 375 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 4: Yeah? 376 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,199 Speaker 3: Exactly, did you bring him? Whose turn is it? 377 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 2: Who's got them? 378 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 3: Rookie? Go out and buy some smelling Exactly? 379 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 2: That's exactly what you're probably. 380 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, ain't no. I hate to say it like this, 381 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 3: ain't nobody using smelling sauce to mask the symptoms. Now 382 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 3: I may mask them, but nobody's out there doing for 383 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 3: that purpose. So but they still have to, you know, 384 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 3: plan for that eventuality. 385 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 2: Right, Let's go to Ray in North town of Wanda. 386 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 2: What's up Ray? 387 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 6: Hi, guys, thanks for taking my call. I was just 388 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 6: on a lighthearted wondering when the Bills charter a plane 389 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 6: and going on away game, is the seating inside that 390 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 6: plane uh configured to accommodate the big guys on the team. 391 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 6: I mean, you think when you think of yourself as 392 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 6: a going on a plane in these little seats, there's 393 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 6: no way those big guys could sit in those seats. 394 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 7: I just wondered. 395 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 2: That's all valid question. Ray. I'll say this, it's usually 396 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 2: in many cases a regular plane, but they do have 397 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 2: some first class sections that allow players and or coaches 398 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 2: to stretch out, you know, particularly on the way back 399 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 2: from a game, you know, if they want to lay 400 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 2: out a little bit, So that's available in the first 401 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 2: class section, and usually that's reserved for veteran players and coaches. 402 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 3: Usually it's coaches and executives in the first class seat. 403 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 3: Because coaches and executives are the ones putting in eighteen 404 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 3: hour days. Yeah, the players and they're working on the 405 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 3: way back and they're working, and any space to work 406 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 3: the players. What it is if the seat seats, if 407 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 3: the plane seats three hundred people, they'll probably put in 408 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,719 Speaker 3: two hundred people. They'll have empty seats between the players. 409 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 3: But it's a regular plane, no question. And one of 410 00:22:58,359 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 3: the things they also do is they get a wide boy, 411 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 3: they'll get with two aisles. It'll they'll get a big plane, 412 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,360 Speaker 3: especially for longer, and they will not fill it up. 413 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 3: They'll have lots of empty seats in some space for 414 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 3: these guys to spread out. Yeah, but yeah, it's a 415 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 3: regular plane. 416 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,199 Speaker 2: So just like on a regular commercial jit where you 417 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 2: can flip up your arm rest, now you'll have a 418 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 2: big guy with two seats to himself, flips up the 419 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,479 Speaker 2: arm rest. No worse for the wear, right. 420 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 3: So that's basically the way it works. But it isn't 421 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 3: a regular plane. But they do have a lot more. 422 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 3: It's not a pack jam packed plane. 423 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 2: Right, because you don't have a three hundred person travel party. 424 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 2: It's more like one fifty to one sixty. 425 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 3: I would guess in. 426 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 2: The preseason a little more more people because the roster 427 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 2: is bigger. You got ninety players, not fifty three in 428 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 2: a practice squad, So it's a little different. In the 429 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 2: preseason it's more crowded then, but once they get to 430 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 2: the regular season, there's a lot more room. Uh will 431 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 2: squeeze Jill in Rochester in here before the break. What 432 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 2: do you got for is Jill? 433 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 8: I get a quick que question about during the preseason 434 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 8: when they can't go after Josh. Did you ever see 435 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 8: the police dogs how they train them. They have someone 436 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 8: in a full body suit. Couldn't they get somebody that 437 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 8: you know, Josh throws. They step aside so that the 438 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 8: defense doesn't have to stop and start, stop and start. 439 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 2: They want a real tackling Jill wants a real tackling 440 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 2: dummy out there. That's what Jill wants, a tackling dummy quarterback. 441 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 2: Yeah good, Hey, I mean that sport specializes as much 442 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 2: as you'll ever see. There is more equipment. Now here's 443 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 2: an answer for you, Jill. They don't have this at 444 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 2: the quarterback position, but there are mobile tackling dummies now 445 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 2: and some teams have them, and you know, they'll run 446 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 2: pretty fast like those things. Motor and they'll have you know, 447 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 2: players tackling them on the field. 448 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 3: Yeah they yeah, what's you can It can't happen. They've 449 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 3: got dummies with that are on wheels and they're like 450 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 3: remote control things, and you can use them like that. 451 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 2: The guy you're seeing them used at the quarterback position. 452 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 2: But they can usually do that, and you know what, 453 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 2: they'll crow a ball to an arm or something. 454 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 3: What they can do too, is for big money programs, 455 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 3: they'll put the dummies on the defensive side and when 456 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 3: the ball is snapped, those dummies will drop back into 457 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 3: zones and the quarterback can read them like defenders. So 458 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 3: they can use them like that, and then the guys 459 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 3: run their routes and the quarterback can read the dummies 460 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 3: like you. And you don't need fifty guys to practice. 461 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 3: You need like your offensive you know, he's seven guys 462 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 3: to run routes. And then you can have the dummies 463 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 3: fall into different coverage schemes. But you know, it's too hot. 464 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 3: I see what you're saying. No, you can't because there's 465 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 3: no where's the dummy going to stand before the ball. 466 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 2: Snapped, right because the quarterback's there. 467 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't. 468 00:25:58,600 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 2: It's hard to replicate. 469 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 3: It's yeah. 470 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 2: So now if you want to run, if a defensive 471 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 2: line coach wants to run a pass rush drill and 472 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 2: instead of using a poor assistant coach run for effect there, 473 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 2: and you want an actual tackle drill, yeah, you could 474 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 2: get a motorized guy and he's got a he's got 475 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 2: an r a dummy arm with all and they can 476 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 2: have him drop back like a quarterback, you know, throw 477 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 2: that guy in reverse. That's conceivable. But that's strictly for 478 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 2: a defensive line drill and an eleven on eleven setting. 479 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 2: It's not real. 480 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 3: And I'll say this too, Jill, as much as our 481 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 3: listeners and Brownie and Ie, we sit here and talk 482 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 3: about this in different scenarios and different techniques we could 483 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 3: think of to make this work, and you know, give 484 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 3: the guys a better look. And coaches do nothing but 485 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 3: think about it. And if they don't, if they are 486 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 3: not doing it, it's because A it doesn't work or 487 00:26:55,240 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 3: or B it's impossible. It's it won't they can't get 488 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 3: it done. So they and that's what a coach's job is. 489 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,439 Speaker 3: They come up with their own set of drills and 490 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 3: specialty protocols and stuff that the guys.

We are ready, willing, enabled. The 520 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 7: team is going to know we are there right. My 521 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 7: question to you both guys, when we hired Brandon Bean, 522 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 7: we were in cap jail. I understand that. I think 523 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 7: he's doing a great job. I think the whole staff 524 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 7: is doing a great job. But it seems like we've 525 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 7: got one all pro, certified all pro obviously Josh Allen. 526 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 7: No other are all pros on the team, first team, 527 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 7: you know, offensive defense, Yet we're always battling cap jails. 528 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 4: Now. 529 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 7: I know we swung and missed on Von Miller. We 530 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 7: went for the went for the whole thing. I'm all 531 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 7: for that. I you know, you got up, you got 532 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 7: to take risks. But it just seems, guys, that we've 533 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 7: got one certified all pro, we're always up against the camp. 534 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 7: I'd like I'd like to know what your comments are. 535 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a fair question, Paul uh and thanks for 536 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 2: calling and we look forward to seeing you in week 537 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 2: six down there in atl So, thanks for the phone call. Look, 538 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 2: I think I think they've tried to shift their approach 539 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 2: here in the last couple of years. They no longer 540 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 2: have uh A top of the market wide receiver. After 541 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 2: trading Stefan Diggs, they took a thirty one million dollar 542 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 2: cap hit to move him off the roster, So that 543 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 2: was one Von Miller. They restructured a couple of times, 544 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,959 Speaker 2: and that's now off the roster. And I think they 545 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 2: signed Joey Bosa, who by the way, is four years 546 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 2: younger than when they signed Von Miller, to a much 547 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 2: more team friendly deal with a void year in there 548 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 2: but one year twelve twelve million in change. So I 549 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 2: think they've made efforts to be more fiscally responsible with 550 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 2: the deals they've handed out. And talk to anybody that 551 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 2: covers the NFL the Khalil Shakir deal. People can't believe 552 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 2: they signed that guy for fifteen million a year. 553 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't really look at you know, being cap jay, 554 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 3: I get it. They only have what I look at 555 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 3: is the dead cap they've only got they've got twenty 556 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 3: nine million dollars in dead caps, so it sounds like 557 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 3: a lot, but it's like mid range in the league. 558 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 3: As long as you don't you're not paying guys, you know, 559 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 3: one hundred million dollars that aren't even on the team 560 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 3: at least the guys you've got on the team, or 561 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 3: you're paying them what you want to pay them, and 562 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 3: that's I think that's as important as anything. Certainly, the 563 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 3: cash out and the cap number and how far they 564 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 3: are under the cap is one thing, and how can 565 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 3: they get it done? Can they sign a guy? I 566 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 3: think most teams have or most people have looked at 567 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 3: the guys they've signed in Rousseau, Ed Oliver, Khalil Shakir, Epanessa, Milano. 568 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 3: All of these guys have have signed early in their 569 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 3: ability to be signed, and they've extended and they're none 570 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 3: of them are crushing, you know. So I think the 571 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 3: dead cap is what I look at, and I think 572 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 3: the bills at twenty nine million are actually doing pretty good. 573 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 3: It's you know, it's like twenty percent of their cap 574 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 3: or whatever. 575 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 2: So it's I think the reason fans are wondering, hey, 576 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 2: what's the deal is because they're they're over right now 577 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 2: in a manner speaking, and then when they get to 578 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 2: roster cutdown time August twenty six, they'll be down to 579 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 2: fifty three where only your top fifty one are sorry, 580 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 2: where everybody counts, including your practice squad and everything, and 581 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 2: they will be over. So there will be some decisions 582 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 2: that have to be made there and maybe even some 583 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 2: contracts adjusted, and who knows, they may even find a 584 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 2: trade partner where they can alleviate some of that cap 585 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 2: stress as well. So there will be some interesting decisions 586 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 2: that have to be made when they get to roster 587 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 2: cutdown day on August twenty six, because they are projected 588 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 2: to be over when they get to that point in time. 589 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't want to be you can't be over. 590 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 3: So yeah, there's gonna be some tough decision. There always is. 591 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 3: But I think and I realize, like I said, yeah, 592 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 3: go ahead, you got to maximize the money you're spending 593 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 3: and get the most out of. 594 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 2: It, right, And I realize there's only one all Pro 595 00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 2: on the roster. Well, the guy's commanding a lot lot 596 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 2: of salary because it's a quarter. 597 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 3: There's actually three Milano's in all Pro has been, and 598 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 3: so has Tredevious White. 599 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 2: You got guys who have done it in the past. 600 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 2: Dion Dawkins has been a perennial Pro Bowl. 601 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 3: Right, So you've got some guys out there that are 602 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 3: that are high quality and have done it in the past. Certainly, 603 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,959 Speaker 3: now Toredavious White's not making all pro corner money, Uhlan 604 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 3: and Milana would be underpaid if he played a full season, 605 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 3: So it goes both ways. But yeah, you're right, it's 606 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 3: a difficult needle to thread getting a maximum roster and 607 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 3: all these guys on there and and fitting them. I 608 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 3: don't know that the cap has not been a huge 609 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 3: issue for this team. They've signed who they wanted to sign, 610 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 3: and they've been able to go out and get guys 611 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 3: like Bosa and Leonard Floyd two years ago, and they've 612 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 3: gotten some guys in my even with limited cap space, 613 00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 3: so worked around it. 614 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 2: I don't think Paul's point is you look at a 615 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 2: team like San Francisco and you know they've got all 616 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 2: pros up and down their roster. If you look at 617 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 2: their roster now, they did have to vanquish themselves of 618 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 2: some all pros and thin their ranks so to speak. 619 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 2: You know, dra Greenlaw isn't on that team anymore. The 620 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 2: safety Lulfanga is not on that roster anymore. 621 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 3: I mean, look at the New Orleans Saints. I mean, 622 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 3: so I think this. I have not heard that the 623 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 3: Bills have been like they haven't been able to go, 624 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 3: they haven't had to go shopping and not be able 625 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 3: to buy guys that they wanted. They have been able 626 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,839 Speaker 3: to fit guys that they have wanted under their cap. 627 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 3: And I think that's the key thing. I don't think 628 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,839 Speaker 3: the cap has constrained them. I don't know. I don't 629 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 3: know what the conversations are like. Certainly they're spending to 630 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:52,720 Speaker 3: the CAP. 631 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 2: So I mean they're still trying to get an extension 632 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 2: done with James Cook. 633 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 3: Right, even that's on the table, I would think. So, yeah, 634 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 3: I get it. It's uncomfortable for some fans thinking, man, 635 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 3: I don't know if we're gonna be able to you 636 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 3: know what happens. 637 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 2: Or why don't we have it. 638 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 3: I don't think that's more for seam all pros. I 639 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 3: do nonsense in any shape or way, shape or form 640 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,240 Speaker 3: that the Bills are wringing their hands over the CAP. 641 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, they know they have to be. 642 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 3: They gotta be compliant. 643 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 9: Yeah, but. 644 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 3: Let's they're gonna be right there again. I mean, they're 645 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 3: gonna be right at the in the tournament, they're gonna 646 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 3: be right there again in the playoffs. 647 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 2: So and as far as that's the key, and as 648 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:34,240 Speaker 2: far as cash goes, the Pagoulas spent as much as anybody. 649 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:35,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, So. 650 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,720 Speaker 2: I think just realize and rest easy in the fact 651 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 2: that this is a top flight roster. It may not 652 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,879 Speaker 2: be dotted with as many first team All pros, as 653 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 2: Paul pointed out, but it's a very strong roster and 654 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:55,359 Speaker 2: a roster that Sean McDermott gets the most out of. 655 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 2: I mean, think about what everybody was saying about this 656 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 2: team at this time last year and where they ended up. 657 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:04,400 Speaker 2: They were in the final four. So you may not 658 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,439 Speaker 2: have the household names, but they make it work here 659 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 2: and I think that's the thing to hang your hat on. 660 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,840 Speaker 2: Let's go to George and cheek to Wogan next. What's up, George? 661 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 7: How are we doing? Fellows? 662 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 3: Good? Good? 663 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 10: Actually, going off the cap situation, I have a two questions. Now, 664 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 10: what happens if they go over the cap is you 665 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:26,800 Speaker 10: mayn't stay below? 666 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,799 Speaker 2: And yeah, you have to be cap compliant. Once they 667 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,719 Speaker 2: get to August twenty sixth, then all the positions count. 668 00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 10: All right, because I know in baseball they have a cap, 669 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 10: but if you go over it, you have to pay 670 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,280 Speaker 10: a fine or a penalty or whatever. 671 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:39,319 Speaker 2: No, it's a hard cat. 672 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 3: It's a hard cap. And it would also be it'd 673 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 3: be draft picks and all of that kind of Yeah, 674 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 3: you'd be penalized. 675 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 10: Yeah, okay. And then my second question is Joeann Dreesen. Yes, 676 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 10: he's making his hometown people very proud, as you guys know. 677 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 10: But I mean, what's his contract? I know, is he 678 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 10: get I know there's like the free agents at side, 679 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,319 Speaker 10: undrafted free agents? Is at like one of those? And 680 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 10: how long is it and all that kind of stuff. 681 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:05,239 Speaker 10: I had no idea where that is. 682 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:07,320 Speaker 3: Let me look, I've got it. 683 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:08,280 Speaker 2: That's a fair question. 684 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 3: Joe Ndreesen's contract. He's making just shy of a million 685 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 3: bucks this year, which is not that much. He's signed 686 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,920 Speaker 3: through twenty twenty six, right, he's got one more year 687 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 3: left on the deal he signed last year. And his 688 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 3: his his base this year's nine sixties and da da 689 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,880 Speaker 3: da da da. His cap pits nine sixty. 690 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 2: Now, if for some reason he gets on the field 691 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:38,279 Speaker 2: even more than anticipated, they have the player performance enhancements 692 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 2: to a contract. You know, we've seen this before. If 693 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,400 Speaker 2: there's some late round pick and suddenly he's in the 694 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,560 Speaker 2: starting lineup. I remember Max Crosby benefited from this. He 695 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 2: was like a fourth or fifth round draft choice. He 696 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,760 Speaker 2: starts and he gets like ten sacks as a rookie 697 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 2: and started like seventeen games for the Raiders. Well, his 698 00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 2: performance based pay, which you know was based on his production, it. 699 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 3: Comes out and he. 700 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,919 Speaker 2: Got it like an extra million dollars like in May 701 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 2: or something that comes out the following spring. But you 702 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,840 Speaker 2: get a check for performance base pay if you play 703 00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 2: more and perform better, then your contract indicates as a. 704 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,720 Speaker 3: Rookie, that's right, And it's a it's on a scale, 705 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:18,720 Speaker 3: it's all set in stone. 706 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 2: That's for year one, year two, yeah, three. 707 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 3: You know, So if Andresen were two all of a 708 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 3: sudden be forced into duty and started all these games he. 709 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 2: Finishes with, right, he would performance base get a fat check. 710 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:31,720 Speaker 9: Yeah. 711 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 2: Uh, let's go to Fred in Rochester next. What's up Fred? 712 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,279 Speaker 7: Hi, guys, I want to talk about Maxwell Harriston a 713 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:40,719 Speaker 7: little bit. 714 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 3: Sure. 715 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 7: Can you give me an update on his injury that 716 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:45,760 Speaker 7: he got in the camp. 717 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, So it was a sprained l c L, which 718 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 2: is the lateral collateral ligament that goes along the outside 719 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:57,279 Speaker 2: of the knee. Uh, it was sprained, not torn. From 720 00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:01,880 Speaker 2: what we've been told, and we've basically been given indication 721 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 2: that you know, he's going to probably be out a 722 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 2: few weeks. So that might go the duration of the preseason. 723 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,480 Speaker 2: We'll have to wait and see how quickly he can 724 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:15,200 Speaker 2: return to action, but it looks as though there is 725 00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 2: a chance he'll be ready for the start of the 726 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:19,360 Speaker 2: regular season. 727 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,640 Speaker 3: As with everything, it's it's a lot of it depends 728 00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,360 Speaker 3: on Max and how that injury is and how it compares. 729 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,360 Speaker 3: But you're looking at anything from three weeks to like 730 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:28,760 Speaker 3: seven weeks. 731 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,240 Speaker 2: I mean hard and fast timetable that injury. 732 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,919 Speaker 3: That's right. There's no hard, fast timetable in it because 733 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,120 Speaker 3: it's an individual and the Bills don't like doing it anyway. 734 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:44,240 Speaker 3: But history will tell you, you know, seven weeks is a possibility, 735 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 3: in eight weeks whatever. 736 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,399 Speaker 2: We don't know this of the spring, but it's not going. 737 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,640 Speaker 3: To be two weeks. You know, it's going to take 738 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:55,280 Speaker 3: a minute. Uh, it won't be. It won't no surgery 739 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,120 Speaker 3: and all of that, and it'll be how his rehab goes, 740 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 3: how it heals up, how fast a healer Max I mean, yeah, 741 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 3: Max is all of that. So but that's given a 742 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 3: thousand human beings, they're all going to heal up between 743 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 3: three and eight. Yeah, so take your pick. 744 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 2: And like we said, we don't know the grade of 745 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 2: the sprays at a grade one, grade two or grade 746 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,400 Speaker 2: three sprain, we don't know. We don't have that information. 747 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,960 Speaker 2: The only hard and fast information we have from the 748 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,360 Speaker 2: Bills is that he's he's it's a week to week injury, 749 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,239 Speaker 2: so could be three weeks, could be four weeks. You know, 750 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,399 Speaker 2: it all depends on how he makes his way through 751 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,839 Speaker 2: his rehabilitation and how he's performing as he recovers. And 752 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:37,720 Speaker 2: that's set injury. 753 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:42,879 Speaker 3: And also with young guys, they start to feel good, 754 00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 3: they do one thing too much because they feel good, 755 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:47,480 Speaker 3: and then they're set back two weeks. 756 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,200 Speaker 2: There is something to be said. Also, young players tend 757 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 2: to bounce back quicker, they feel faster, less miles on 758 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,520 Speaker 2: the tire, so to speak. So hopefully that's the case 759 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,239 Speaker 2: for him. We got to take a break here, but 760 00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,440 Speaker 2: more of your phone calls when we come back, So 761 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,400 Speaker 2: if you're holding at eight oh three oh five point fifty, 762 00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,759 Speaker 2: we will get to you in the next segment.

First thing is I want 785 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,560 Speaker 12: to say, me and my girlfriend just bought a house 786 00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 12: two blocks away from the Bills backers bar, so I 787 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 12: can just walk up and walk back. 788 00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,759 Speaker 3: Well played my hike on down there. 789 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:34,200 Speaker 2: That is well played. 790 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,920 Speaker 12: And the one thing I'm looking forward most to tomorrow 791 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,279 Speaker 12: is seeing how well the special teams does with the 792 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:45,360 Speaker 12: new special teams. And as you were saying, Chris, the 793 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 12: defensive line, I'd like to see how well that young 794 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:49,399 Speaker 12: defensive line plays out. 795 00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:53,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't. Usually in preseason games, special teams 796 00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,440 Speaker 3: don't play too much for whatever reason. 797 00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:57,680 Speaker 2: But some new stuff here. 798 00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,920 Speaker 3: But there's some new stuff. The kickoff is going to be. 799 00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:01,920 Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be a real change this year 800 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:03,760 Speaker 3: that we'll notice. I think you're gonna get a ton 801 00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 3: of kickoff returns. And here's why. Back in the day, 802 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,919 Speaker 3: it was like, listen, there's always the chance you're gonna 803 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:15,440 Speaker 3: give up a touchdown return, so you weigh that eventuality, 804 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:19,319 Speaker 3: which is catastrophic against you, right with your faith in 805 00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:23,480 Speaker 3: your kickoff return team. Now, last year, if the kickoff 806 00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 3: touchback was it the twenty five or the thirty. You 807 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,759 Speaker 3: weigh the giving them to them at the thirty with 808 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:35,839 Speaker 3: the chance that you may give something up or if 809 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,399 Speaker 3: you allow a return, or how likely is it your 810 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,960 Speaker 3: return team is gonna give you a significant advantage, like 811 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 3: tackle them on the twenty oh your coverage unit, your 812 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 3: coverage unit, if your kickoff team is gonna give you, 813 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,000 Speaker 3: on average the twenty one yard line or the eighteen 814 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:51,680 Speaker 3: yard line, it's like, I don't know, we might just 815 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,719 Speaker 3: kick it off, let them return it because we got 816 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:57,320 Speaker 3: a pretty good coverage unit. You weigh all that against 817 00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:02,480 Speaker 3: the fact that you may give up a big one. 818 00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:02,280 Speaker 2: If you're going to get a good returner. 819 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 3: Now somebody, if you're gonna kick it into the end 820 00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,400 Speaker 3: zone and they're getting it at the thirty five, even 821 00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,919 Speaker 3: a mediocre coverage team can cover it better than that. 822 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,279 Speaker 3: Give it to you at the twenty five, Well, it's 823 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 3: like you're giving them a first down. Every time you 824 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,560 Speaker 3: hit a touchback, you're giving your opponent a first down. 825 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:21,160 Speaker 3: From the twenty five to the thirty five. 826 00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,000 Speaker 2: And think about this too, Steve. If you're gonna put 827 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,400 Speaker 2: it in the end zone and give it to the 828 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:30,080 Speaker 2: opposing offense at the thirty five, and you're playing a 829 00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:34,799 Speaker 2: team like the Bengals, they need twenty five yards and 830 00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:36,719 Speaker 2: they can bring their kicker on and kick a field goal, 831 00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:38,600 Speaker 2: that twenty five yards is all you need to put 832 00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,279 Speaker 2: points on the board, not a touchdown. But like, think 833 00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,439 Speaker 2: about that, Like, I think teams are gonna be thinking 834 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:44,440 Speaker 2: long and hard about that. 835 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 3: Now you think it's a given me more returns this day, 836 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:48,160 Speaker 3: for instance, you'd rather. 837 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:49,359 Speaker 2: Put it in play than give it to them at 838 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:50,000 Speaker 2: the thirty five. 839 00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,360 Speaker 3: Audi, that's right, You'd rather put it in play and 840 00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,600 Speaker 3: give your coverage team a chance to get maybe not 841 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,719 Speaker 3: only give get it down on the twenty, maybe on 842 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:03,360 Speaker 3: the inside the twenty. But what if they punch it out, right, 843 00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:05,799 Speaker 3: So you're not going to get a punch out if 844 00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:08,359 Speaker 3: it's a touchback, right, you're not going to get them 845 00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,640 Speaker 3: to get a fumble on the touchback. So all of 846 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:15,280 Speaker 3: that stuff is in the mix on over the course 847 00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:19,279 Speaker 3: of a long season, you know you can get some 848 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,040 Speaker 3: you can gain some advantage. And Brownie's right. If you're 849 00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:24,640 Speaker 3: playing Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase and t Higgins in 850 00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,560 Speaker 3: that crowd. You want to you don't want to give 851 00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 3: him an extra fifteen yards. Back them up, Back them up, man, 852 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:36,000 Speaker 3: or say listen, our defense is pretty We're playing whatever 853 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,200 Speaker 3: ticket we're paying, playing the Colts. Their quarterback is hurt, 854 00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,640 Speaker 3: we're playing. We're playing Billy bag of donuts, a quarterback 855 00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:47,160 Speaker 3: for that team. Well, their special teams are better than 856 00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,640 Speaker 3: their offense. Let's kick it in the end zone. Let 857 00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:53,200 Speaker 3: their offense at the thirty change. Game plans change week 858 00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:56,600 Speaker 3: to week, so it's and our defense is really really good. 859 00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:58,680 Speaker 3: They're not going to give up twenty five yards of 860 00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,800 Speaker 3: this crew, so well, we're not going to take the chance. 861 00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,400 Speaker 3: We'll kick them into the end zone. Let our defense 862 00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,480 Speaker 3: take the field, and we'll let them punt it from 863 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:07,320 Speaker 3: their thirty seven. 864 00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:09,640 Speaker 2: There'll be a lot of those decisions this year. It'll 865 00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:11,880 Speaker 2: be interesting to see how they play out. Let's go 866 00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,160 Speaker 2: to Maureen in Lancaster here before the break, what do 867 00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:14,879 Speaker 2: you offer us, Maureen? 868 00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:21,480 Speaker 13: I want to thank you guys. You've saved me this summer. Love. 869 00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:26,080 Speaker 13: I love this through two hours every day. It's my 870 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:27,680 Speaker 13: highlight of the day. 871 00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:29,839 Speaker 3: It's highlight of my day too. 872 00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 2: The checks and the mail. 873 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:33,920 Speaker 13: Well, I love that Billy Bega Donuts. 874 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 8: That was great. 875 00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:39,480 Speaker 13: I want to know. I you know, ever since we 876 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,799 Speaker 13: signed the two players that came over that and as 877 00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,799 Speaker 13: soon as they came over, we knew what their punishment 878 00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:52,359 Speaker 13: was as far as the performance enhancing drugs whatever it was. 879 00:46:54,120 --> 00:47:00,799 Speaker 13: And six games seemed to me very little wrong. And 880 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:04,319 Speaker 13: I wondered, first if there's ever a chance that they 881 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,680 Speaker 13: can appeal that. And then the second part of my 882 00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:11,440 Speaker 13: question is, you know, there are a couple of teams 883 00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:15,000 Speaker 13: now that have players, one being Kansas City. Don't mean 884 00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,920 Speaker 13: to pick on Kansas City, but they have two players 885 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:23,719 Speaker 13: Rashie Rice and Worthy who both had off season, right. 886 00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:30,040 Speaker 13: And then but yeah, and when does when does the 887 00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:34,000 Speaker 13: NFL's decision come out as far as how they're going 888 00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:38,239 Speaker 13: to treat this. I know, I know the local enforcement 889 00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,960 Speaker 13: people they dropped the charge or not, Yeah, they dropped 890 00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,440 Speaker 13: the charges or what you know, they they solved it 891 00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:48,440 Speaker 13: off off the off the legal way, right. But and 892 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:52,840 Speaker 13: then the the other is Diggs. There was such a 893 00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,560 Speaker 13: big deal about Digs on the boat with the pink 894 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:57,120 Speaker 13: whatever it was. 895 00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,480 Speaker 8: And so those are issues. 896 00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:01,600 Speaker 4: Yes, there issues, So. 897 00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:03,480 Speaker 2: Let me step in here, Marine, because there are two 898 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,640 Speaker 2: different things that work here, okay, and I know Steve 899 00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:09,520 Speaker 2: will chime in on this also. So the off the 900 00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:14,480 Speaker 2: field stuff that the Chiefs players we're dealing with dealt 901 00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:18,439 Speaker 2: with the legal system, and typically what the NFL does 902 00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:22,439 Speaker 2: is they will conduct their own investigation, but they will 903 00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:26,319 Speaker 2: let the legal system play the case out and they 904 00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:30,960 Speaker 2: will usually not meet out punishment until the legal system 905 00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:35,799 Speaker 2: has reached a conclusion on the case, guilty, not guilty, sentencing, 906 00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:41,040 Speaker 2: et cetera. For the Bills players, those are infractions that 907 00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:46,880 Speaker 2: deal with the integrity of the game with performance enhancing drugs, 908 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:52,920 Speaker 2: and the league takes that very seriously and there is 909 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:57,719 Speaker 2: clear and defined punishment for those infractions, and as soon 910 00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:01,600 Speaker 2: as they fail a test, the league can meet out punishment. 911 00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:05,439 Speaker 2: So it takes it happens very quickly. With the case 912 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:09,080 Speaker 2: of Rashid Rice and the case of Xavier Worthy, they 913 00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,240 Speaker 2: have to let the legal system play out the case 914 00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,480 Speaker 2: and then they can hand out punishment based on their 915 00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:17,000 Speaker 2: own findings and investigation. That's why it takes longer for 916 00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:18,680 Speaker 2: those anything. 917 00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,760 Speaker 3: To add to that, Steve, No, that's exactly that's it exactly. 918 00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,319 Speaker 3: The league takes very seriously the integrity of the game. 919 00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:30,760 Speaker 3: They don't got guys cheating and enhanced and performance enhancing 920 00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,600 Speaker 3: drugs or integrity the game, and they take that very seriously, 921 00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:37,520 Speaker 3: and they tend to punishment meet out punishment at a 922 00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:41,239 Speaker 3: pretty free handed They don't hold back on that. The 923 00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:45,520 Speaker 3: legal systems another matter outside the lines of the game. 924 00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:50,120 Speaker 3: They watch what the cops do, see how that all 925 00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,200 Speaker 3: plays out in the courts and all that, and then 926 00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,200 Speaker 3: they and then they punish accordingly. 927 00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:57,799 Speaker 2: We got to take a break here, but our number 928 00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:01,080 Speaker 2: two is gonna be spent taking a look at the Giants, 929 00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:03,120 Speaker 2: and to help us do that, we're going to be 930 00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,759 Speaker 2: pulling in ESPN Giants reporter Jordan Raanan. He's going to 931 00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:09,160 Speaker 2: help get us up to speed on what to expect 932 00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:12,440 Speaker 2: from that crew tomorrow in preseason game number one. Here 933 00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:13,160 Speaker 2: on One Bill's Live. 934 00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:55,680 Speaker 1: Stay with us, This One Bill's Live, presented by Calida 935 00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:57,399 Speaker 1: helth All. 936 00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,480 Speaker 2: Right, rolling into hour number two here on a Friday, 937 00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:02,319 Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Jasper and One Bills Live as we 938 00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:07,560 Speaker 2: get you set for Bill's Giants preseason game number one, 939 00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:10,040 Speaker 2: and here to help us with the four to one 940 00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:13,320 Speaker 2: one on the Giants, as ESPN Giants reporter Jordan Renan 941 00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,600 Speaker 2: joining us and Jordan, first of all, thanks for the time, 942 00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:21,200 Speaker 2: safe travels up here. And uh, I guess we got 943 00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:25,080 Speaker 2: to start, you know, at the quarterback position, because you know, 944 00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:28,200 Speaker 2: these Giants have four guys in camp at the at 945 00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:34,920 Speaker 2: the position only one real holdover in Tommy Cutlets. So uh, 946 00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:39,080 Speaker 2: Brian Dable didn't give us a whole lot on who's 947 00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:41,760 Speaker 2: going to be playing, other than to say the rookie 948 00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:47,120 Speaker 2: is Jackson Dart. What are your thoughts on quarterback rotation 949 00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:48,320 Speaker 2: if there is any. 950 00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:51,440 Speaker 14: Yeah, you get used to that when you talk to 951 00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,799 Speaker 14: Brian Dable regularly about not being told much. 952 00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:57,160 Speaker 9: But that's sort of a demo with these kind of things. 953 00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,560 Speaker 14: I think it's pretty clear though, from watching what they've 954 00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,320 Speaker 14: done the last couple of days, you're not gonna see 955 00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:07,080 Speaker 14: most of their starters. Look, they're left tackle. Andrew Thomas 956 00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,920 Speaker 14: is on puff right. He's their best offensive lineman. My 957 00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,600 Speaker 14: league neighbors has been a little banged up. He didn't 958 00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:17,879 Speaker 14: practice yesterday, so you know we're not We're not gonna 959 00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,920 Speaker 14: see Russell Wilson. I'm I feel pretty good about that, 960 00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:24,239 Speaker 14: and most of their major starter, Dexter Lawrence on the 961 00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:28,000 Speaker 14: defensive side, he's been extremely limited throughout training camp. Brian 962 00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:32,680 Speaker 14: Burns didn't practice yesterday. He's nursing a minor injury. Darius Slee, 963 00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:34,839 Speaker 14: and so without all those guys, I don't think it's 964 00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,399 Speaker 14: worth for the Giants to be playing. And they also 965 00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,360 Speaker 14: have joint practices coming up this week against the Jets. 966 00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:42,319 Speaker 14: I don't think it's gonna be worth them and risk 967 00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:45,040 Speaker 14: them Dable playing much of his starters, So what you're 968 00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,120 Speaker 14: gonna get is a lot of the backups, maybe starting 969 00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:50,439 Speaker 14: with Jamis Winston or Jackson Dart. They're sort of interchangeable 970 00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:53,279 Speaker 14: playing the first half or so maybe into the into 971 00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:56,319 Speaker 14: the second half, splitting between those two guys, and then 972 00:52:56,800 --> 00:53:02,080 Speaker 14: you know Tommy Devitoup. It's finishing out getting probably more 973 00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:03,919 Speaker 14: than maybe anybody else. 974 00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:06,759 Speaker 3: Okay, what's the story. What's the main story coming out 975 00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:10,239 Speaker 3: of Giants camp? I mean that certainly the quarterback competition 976 00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,680 Speaker 3: starts with it, you know, starts and ends every conversation. 977 00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:14,520 Speaker 3: What are some other players that are they need to 978 00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:17,000 Speaker 3: be talked about or they have an injury problems? The 979 00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:18,040 Speaker 3: Bills have a long list. 980 00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:23,000 Speaker 14: Uh, they're just very Conservatives, So I don't think. I 981 00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,080 Speaker 14: don't look at the Giants if they have anything serious, 982 00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:28,520 Speaker 14: like Dexter Lawrence. They've just been bringing along slow all 983 00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,640 Speaker 14: summer Andrew Thomas. That was always the plan coming off 984 00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:36,839 Speaker 14: Liz Frank surgery. So I think it's kind of their plan. 985 00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:37,759 Speaker 9: I don't they're not. 986 00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,279 Speaker 14: They haven't had really, you know, knock On Wood had 987 00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:44,440 Speaker 14: many injuries in camp, at least anything serious so far. So, 988 00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:47,879 Speaker 14: but you'll see most of their second team out there 989 00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:48,440 Speaker 14: and healthy. 990 00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:51,560 Speaker 9: And of course I mean that that quarterback. 991 00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:54,160 Speaker 14: Story is always the number one thing, especially when you 992 00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:57,359 Speaker 14: don't have a Josh Allen sitting around. Russell Wilson's the guy. 993 00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,359 Speaker 14: But the story of this game, in this preseason is 994 00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:02,000 Speaker 14: what is Jackson Dart? 995 00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:02,279 Speaker 9: Right? 996 00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,080 Speaker 14: Because it's possible we don't see Jackson Dart much of 997 00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,640 Speaker 14: this season, maybe at all. Who knows it goes really 998 00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:10,359 Speaker 14: well for them, So this is sort of his time 999 00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,160 Speaker 14: to shine. This as the fan base and the Giants 1000 00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,040 Speaker 14: opportunity to see him in live game environment. I think 1001 00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,560 Speaker 14: that's kind of what everyone's excited about here, is to 1002 00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:20,840 Speaker 14: see what Jackson Dart looks like in a Giant's uniform. 1003 00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:22,360 Speaker 9: And speaking to him yesterday. 1004 00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,560 Speaker 14: You know, he's got that boxy that aura to him, 1005 00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:29,720 Speaker 14: kind of like Josh Allen, Like he's not as big 1006 00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,279 Speaker 14: and strong, but he kind of plays similar to him, 1007 00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,400 Speaker 14: and that he wants to put his head down and 1008 00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:37,759 Speaker 14: run through you, which isn't always great for their quarterback, 1009 00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:40,080 Speaker 14: but that's the kind of the attitude he brings. And 1010 00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,960 Speaker 14: you heard that come to this game. He's like, I'm 1011 00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,960 Speaker 14: not scared to make mistakes. I'm not scared. I'm just 1012 00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,439 Speaker 14: gonna play my game and you know, try to make 1013 00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,600 Speaker 14: tough throws if I have to, and so forth and 1014 00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:53,799 Speaker 14: do what he does. And kind of what we've seen 1015 00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:55,120 Speaker 14: in training camp is a little bit of up and 1016 00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:58,080 Speaker 14: down there. But yeah, but if I'll do Carter plays also, Man, 1017 00:54:58,120 --> 00:54:59,440 Speaker 14: he's been impressive this summer. 1018 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,200 Speaker 9: I'm not sure you're gonna get it a taste of that, 1019 00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:03,400 Speaker 9: but it's possible. 1020 00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,319 Speaker 14: We see a little bit about Bill Carter's to get 1021 00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,600 Speaker 14: him in a game and he. 1022 00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:12,200 Speaker 9: Looks like a really really you. 1023 00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:17,080 Speaker 14: Obviously it with von Miller when he was there as much, 1024 00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:21,120 Speaker 14: but that then, that's the great players have around the edge, 1025 00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:22,560 Speaker 14: Like God, Dull Carter has that. 1026 00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:27,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, not surprising. I know we're probably not gonna see 1027 00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:31,719 Speaker 2: my league neighbors tomorrow, Jordan. But you know, we hear 1028 00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,160 Speaker 2: these reports about him dealing with a toe thing that 1029 00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:37,320 Speaker 2: he thinks will be manageable throughout the course of the season. 1030 00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:42,120 Speaker 2: How severe is it and do you think it will 1031 00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:45,520 Speaker 2: inhibit him to some degree or to varying degrees as 1032 00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:47,279 Speaker 2: he makes his way through the season. 1033 00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,120 Speaker 14: If it stays the way it is has been so 1034 00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,160 Speaker 14: far this summer. I think the answer is no, because 1035 00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:58,560 Speaker 14: he's looked pretty awesome. 1036 00:55:58,600 --> 00:55:59,480 Speaker 9: Nobody can guard him. 1037 00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:02,520 Speaker 14: I was hoping to see next week came against Sauz 1038 00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:05,000 Speaker 14: Gardner and you know, to see, okay, is he just 1039 00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:07,080 Speaker 14: unguardable by any corner cornerback er? 1040 00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:07,719 Speaker 9: You know? 1041 00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,279 Speaker 14: Is it because the Giants don't have necessarily have a 1042 00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:13,080 Speaker 14: shutdown lockdown number one like pauls Ladiba's proven to be 1043 00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:14,960 Speaker 14: a good player in the sleep, but he's not quite 1044 00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:15,560 Speaker 14: that level. 1045 00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:17,520 Speaker 9: But yeah, I think. 1046 00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:22,279 Speaker 14: With myleak, Neighbors just might be something that you deal 1047 00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:27,000 Speaker 14: with throughout the season. He seems like just from what 1048 00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:28,919 Speaker 14: I heard about him and Ali Shoot, even in parts 1049 00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:30,799 Speaker 14: of his rookie year, he's the kind of guy who 1050 00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:31,680 Speaker 14: might be on the. 1051 00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:33,240 Speaker 9: Injury report every single week. 1052 00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:35,319 Speaker 14: He's gonna be there and play on Sunday and you're 1053 00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:38,320 Speaker 14: not really gonna notice it throughout the weeknd one's gonna panic. 1054 00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:41,000 Speaker 14: They're gonna have to manage it, and you might not see. 1055 00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:43,600 Speaker 14: There'll just be fridays where my leak neighbors wasn't on 1056 00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:45,560 Speaker 14: the field last year at the end of last year 1057 00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:47,640 Speaker 14: and you're like, what, like, is it cold? 1058 00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:48,640 Speaker 9: Is he hurt? 1059 00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:49,040 Speaker 7: Like? 1060 00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:51,520 Speaker 14: And they're being like, you know, it's his hamstring, it's 1061 00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:54,480 Speaker 14: a grilling, it's this, it's that shoulder. And then all 1062 00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:55,880 Speaker 14: of a sudden he goes out there and he plays 1063 00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,200 Speaker 14: really well on Sunday. So I think this just might 1064 00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:01,120 Speaker 14: be something they managed throughout the season, unless it gets worse, 1065 00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:03,960 Speaker 14: which you can't predict that, right, I don't know. I 1066 00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:05,839 Speaker 14: don't know how you can sit here and predict that. 1067 00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:10,120 Speaker 14: Then he'lly just find dude, it's a really really high 1068 00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:10,720 Speaker 14: end player. 1069 00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:11,120 Speaker 9: All right. 1070 00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:13,879 Speaker 3: Well, you know we're all about the Buffalo Bills over here, 1071 00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,800 Speaker 3: So give us an idea, give us a general generalization. 1072 00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:20,280 Speaker 3: I know there's a spectrum what a Giants fan looking 1073 00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:22,439 Speaker 3: for from their team this year. 1074 00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:28,600 Speaker 9: Yeah, the Giants have a very different expectations than the Bills. 1075 00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:33,920 Speaker 14: The build it's almost like got bol well lassoom over there, 1076 00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:35,360 Speaker 14: uh here. 1077 00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:36,680 Speaker 9: They're just looking to show improvement. 1078 00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:39,280 Speaker 14: But they're coming off three and fourteen the Giants, right, 1079 00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:42,640 Speaker 14: and they've really been going in the wrong direction with 1080 00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:46,040 Speaker 14: the pressures on Dable and even general manager Joe Shane. 1081 00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:47,760 Speaker 9: They went six and eleven and three and fourteen in 1082 00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:48,720 Speaker 9: the last two seasons. 1083 00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:51,840 Speaker 14: John Maroly says he needs to see progress when he 1084 00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:53,640 Speaker 14: walks up the field in the final game of the season. 1085 00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:55,120 Speaker 9: Now, it's not that easy to make progress. 1086 00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:57,320 Speaker 14: I mean, that shouldn't be that hard to make progress 1087 00:57:57,320 --> 00:57:59,440 Speaker 14: when you went three and fourteen last year. But I 1088 00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,960 Speaker 14: think any where near, like you know, seven eight nine 1089 00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:06,200 Speaker 14: wins is considered a huge success for this team this season. 1090 00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:08,400 Speaker 14: So they just want to see them get better. The 1091 00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:13,320 Speaker 14: preception is the defense is going to be really good, 1092 00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:16,720 Speaker 14: the offense still sort of a work in progress. Let's 1093 00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:18,920 Speaker 14: see what we have in Jackson Dart and then they 1094 00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:21,680 Speaker 14: you know, from from the outside, they look at Buffalo like, 1095 00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:23,919 Speaker 14: that's what we wanted to Joe Shane and Brian Able 1096 00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:25,840 Speaker 14: to build, right. I think that that's kind of what 1097 00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:27,800 Speaker 14: Giant fans a looking at hate. That's what they were 1098 00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:29,640 Speaker 14: supposed to build, but they never got their Josh Allen. 1099 00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:33,640 Speaker 14: They're hoping that, you know, Jackson Dart is at least 1100 00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:35,880 Speaker 14: a portion of Josh Allen. 1101 00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:40,680 Speaker 2: You know, who should we be looking at tomorrow. Who 1102 00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:44,360 Speaker 2: has been a pleasant surprise in Giants camp that maybe 1103 00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:47,960 Speaker 2: is turning some heads that will get playing time tomorrow. 1104 00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:51,400 Speaker 2: Anybody from you know, I mean, you mentioned Abdul Carter, 1105 00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:54,280 Speaker 2: but I'm wondering if there's a couple of surprise players 1106 00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:56,440 Speaker 2: in camp that have really turned some heads that you know, 1107 00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:57,920 Speaker 2: maybe Bill's fan should keep an eye on. 1108 00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:05,560 Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean Amir Smith. Marsett's a wide receiver. He's 1109 00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:07,919 Speaker 14: been a returner in this league. He's trying to show 1110 00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:10,640 Speaker 14: that he could be a receiver too, and he believes it, 1111 00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:13,360 Speaker 14: and he's gonna be getting a lot of work with 1112 00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,200 Speaker 14: that second team. You'll probably see a lot of Gunner 1113 00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:17,920 Speaker 14: Olshewsky too. I don't know how much you know about Gunner. 1114 00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:19,720 Speaker 14: He's you know, he's been a returner and that's been 1115 00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:22,520 Speaker 14: around the league a little bit, and he was just 1116 00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:25,720 Speaker 14: signed recently, so he's been working with that second and 1117 00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:29,760 Speaker 14: third team and making a lot of plays. So I 1118 00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:32,280 Speaker 14: think I think you're going to see a lot from 1119 00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:36,240 Speaker 14: him in this game and potentially doing I wouldn't be 1120 00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:39,080 Speaker 14: surprised if you told me he's their leading receiver in 1121 00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:42,560 Speaker 14: this game. And then in that secondary, that's something the 1122 00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:46,959 Speaker 14: Giants are still, you know, trying to develop depth there. 1123 00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:50,520 Speaker 9: There's a lot of guys sort of in that mix. 1124 00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:53,640 Speaker 14: Nick Nick Jones is the guy who kind of has 1125 00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:56,760 Speaker 14: impressed this summer, kind of out of nowhere. You're talking 1126 00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:59,400 Speaker 14: about a slot type cornerback, so I think it'll be 1127 00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:03,000 Speaker 14: interesting to see him in a game. And then some 1128 01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:07,320 Speaker 14: of their younger, you know, front seven guys. Darius Alexander's 1129 01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,520 Speaker 14: the third round pick who kind of got off to 1130 01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:11,680 Speaker 14: a slow start this summer. He was banged up in 1131 01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:14,160 Speaker 14: the spring. He's the guy I think the Giants would 1132 01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:17,439 Speaker 14: love to see something at it because that's their pass 1133 01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:19,360 Speaker 14: rush is only as good as their run defense is 1134 01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:24,040 Speaker 14: gonna let them be right, and also they're and score 1135 01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:24,640 Speaker 14: some points. 1136 01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:25,600 Speaker 9: Let him get the lead. 1137 01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,360 Speaker 14: They kind of need Darius Alexander to play, so he's 1138 01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:30,240 Speaker 14: a guy I would look out for on the interior 1139 01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:31,280 Speaker 14: of the defensive line. 1140 01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:33,600 Speaker 3: What's been the word coming out on how the quarterbacks 1141 01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:35,440 Speaker 3: have played. I know you said that Russ Wilson is 1142 01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:39,280 Speaker 3: the guy. I guess they're probably and certainly are running 1143 01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:43,040 Speaker 3: Brian Day balls offense. What's it look like when Russ 1144 01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:44,760 Speaker 3: Wilson takes snaps with the Ones? 1145 01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:47,600 Speaker 9: It's funny. 1146 01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:49,360 Speaker 14: It looks like what you'd expect it to be with 1147 01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:52,479 Speaker 14: Russell Wilson as the quarterback. Right, dump dump dump dump 1148 01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:55,760 Speaker 14: deep pass, DePass DePass moon ball, like that's that's his thing. 1149 01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:57,920 Speaker 14: He's not a big I mean, this is demo throughout 1150 01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:01,040 Speaker 14: his career. Right, He's a smaller quarterback. He's not a big, 1151 01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:04,080 Speaker 14: middle of the field kind of guy, intermediate routes kind 1152 01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:07,640 Speaker 14: of guy. So like it's it's kind of looked like 1153 01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:10,560 Speaker 14: they quickly tailored it to what Russell Wilson does. And 1154 01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:13,120 Speaker 14: then when James Winston's in there, it looks different with 1155 01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:14,360 Speaker 14: him being. 1156 01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:16,120 Speaker 9: Super uber even in practice. 1157 01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:20,960 Speaker 14: Man, you'd be mean, James Winston is exactly what you 1158 01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:25,560 Speaker 14: think you would be. It's like ridiculous throw squid, Like 1159 01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:27,400 Speaker 14: you're like, why do you even throw that between like 1160 01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:30,520 Speaker 14: two or three defenders and then guy wide open like 1161 01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:35,760 Speaker 14: overthrowing it and airmailing it by like fifteen yards. You're like, 1162 01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:38,200 Speaker 14: this is you know, and that's and isn't that like 1163 01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:40,760 Speaker 14: what you kind of expect from him, But let's be honest. 1164 01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:43,880 Speaker 14: Russell Wilson's been their best quarterback in camp and you 1165 01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:44,480 Speaker 14: could see that. 1166 01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:47,440 Speaker 9: And for Jackson Dart like, you could see the talent, 1167 01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:51,280 Speaker 9: but he it's been what you'd expect from a rookie. 1168 01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:54,600 Speaker 14: Whereas there's some really good plays and you're like, wow, 1169 01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:57,480 Speaker 14: that's some throw he made right there, squeezed in the 1170 01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:01,240 Speaker 14: you know, a tight window throw downfield the run, and 1171 01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:03,840 Speaker 14: then you know they're taking delay games or he's taking 1172 01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:05,800 Speaker 14: a snap off the head and or you know, so 1173 01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:08,320 Speaker 14: the ups and downs I think that you generally see 1174 01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:11,200 Speaker 14: with the rookie. And it's been said coming into the season, 1175 01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:13,840 Speaker 14: a lot of people thought, you know, he'd be benefit 1176 01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:17,960 Speaker 14: from sitting and you know sort of the obviously not 1177 01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:21,080 Speaker 14: the Josh Allen route, the more like the Patrick Mahomes 1178 01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:23,840 Speaker 14: rout or the Aaron Rodgers type route where he sits 1179 01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:26,720 Speaker 14: and learns his rookie year. And I think that's kind 1180 01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:29,040 Speaker 14: of showed a little bit throughout the summer, which is 1181 01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:31,720 Speaker 14: why I think everyone's intrigued to see what they have 1182 01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,840 Speaker 14: here in the preseason. And then then Tommy DeVito has 1183 01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:39,480 Speaker 14: kind of been almost the odd man out, you know, 1184 01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:41,960 Speaker 14: quite the fall from grace for him. You know, the 1185 01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:45,520 Speaker 14: sort of folk here, local folk here here in New York, 1186 01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:46,040 Speaker 14: New Jersey. 1187 01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:48,680 Speaker 2: Got it.

If he's anything aggressive, he's entertaining. 1192 01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:07,880 Speaker 2: It's a roller coaster if he's on your team, but 1193 01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:12,040 Speaker 2: he is entertaining. As a matter of fact, the people 1194 01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:14,680 Speaker 2: on the Giant's website miked him up for a couple 1195 01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:20,560 Speaker 2: of practices and they titled it miked up Jameis Winston. 1196 01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:21,800 Speaker 3: You're welcome. 1197 01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:27,640 Speaker 2: And I'm sure people have seen some of the viral clips. 1198 01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:35,120 Speaker 2: Brian Dable gave the Giants an opportunity to get out 1199 01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:39,840 Speaker 2: of evening walkthrough if one of the quarterbacks could hit 1200 01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:45,800 Speaker 2: the crossbar on the uprights from thirty yards away, and 1201 01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:50,200 Speaker 2: a couple of quarterbacks missed. Jameis Winston is up and 1202 01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:54,240 Speaker 2: he says, you know, I know this is if we 1203 01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:56,440 Speaker 2: hit this here, we're going to get out of walkthrough tonight, 1204 01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:58,640 Speaker 2: but I'd like to see you all at three thirty 1205 01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:03,120 Speaker 2: Bible Study this afternoon.

And then he throws the pass and sure enough, 1207 01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:10,280 Speaker 2: right off the crossbar and the place goes bananas.

Now? I mean that's who he is. He is. 1212 01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:23,320 Speaker 2: If that guy doesn't walk in to a network studio 1213 01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:25,760 Speaker 2: or a network booth when he's done playing, I will 1214 01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:29,320 Speaker 2: be stunned. Because if he is, if he is anything, 1215 01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:30,640 Speaker 2: he's entertaining. 1216 01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:33,840 Speaker 3: He's hard not to like.

So that's been 1222 01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:57,440 Speaker 3: his hallmark, the hallmark of his career. He's always got 1223 01:04:57,440 --> 01:04:59,560 Speaker 3: a place to play because he is gifted. There's no 1224 01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:00,440 Speaker 3: question about it. 1225 01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:04,240 Speaker 2: We're still taking your questions from the OBL Friday fan 1226 01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:06,680 Speaker 2: mail bank, So if you have one, feel free to 1227 01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:08,160 Speaker 2: fire it off at us at eight oh three, oh 1228 01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:11,520 Speaker 2: five fifty one, eighty eight five fifty two, five fifty 1229 01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:14,040 Speaker 2: the numbers to jump on board with us, and we 1230 01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:16,280 Speaker 2: do have open lines for you.

How much 1233 01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:28,600 Speaker 2: did Steven Gosnell pay to get number eighty nine? From 1234 01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:30,840 Speaker 2: what I've heard and read, he's had a strong showing 1235 01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:33,560 Speaker 2: at camp. Thanks as always and go Bills. Well you 1236 01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:36,840 Speaker 2: think of your They didn't fellow number receiver. 1237 01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:39,240 Speaker 3: They're never going to retire my jersey. They washed it. 1238 01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:43,480 Speaker 3: I mean that's it. I mean that so yeah, no, hey, 1239 01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:48,400 Speaker 3: he's playing. Well, it's an opportunity and we'll see how 1240 01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:50,600 Speaker 3: what he makes up. But certainly he's got some gifts 1241 01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:52,640 Speaker 3: and he can he can play. I'm I'm listen, I'm 1242 01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:54,120 Speaker 3: cheering for him. I hope he wars. I hope he 1243 01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:57,720 Speaker 3: wars the jersey and quits himself extremely well, yeah, I. 1244 01:05:57,720 --> 01:06:00,440 Speaker 2: Mean he he has been the beneficiary of more reps 1245 01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:02,800 Speaker 2: with all the injuries at the receiver position. Much like 1246 01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:06,080 Speaker 2: guys like Christian Wilkerson and others. And I'll say this, 1247 01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:09,800 Speaker 2: he's a clever route runner. Like he's never gonna burn 1248 01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:13,880 Speaker 2: up the Stopwatch. But I think he's a clever route 1249 01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:17,440 Speaker 2: runner that can be sneaky at times in terms of 1250 01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:19,400 Speaker 2: getting separation and making some plays. 1251 01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:21,400 Speaker 3: And he's a bigger guy and he catches the ball 1252 01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:25,840 Speaker 3: really well. He's got good hands, so so he's not 1253 01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:27,920 Speaker 3: a surest thing together, he's got a shot at it. 1254 01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:30,400 Speaker 3: And with the added opportunities if he keep let's put 1255 01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:32,880 Speaker 3: it this way, if he keeps doing as well with 1256 01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:36,400 Speaker 3: each preceding opportunity that he earns, I mean they're gonna 1257 01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:37,640 Speaker 3: have a hard time getting rid of him. 1258 01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:39,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, that will be somewhere in the building, right like 1259 01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:43,160 Speaker 2: practice squad if anything. So yeah, we'll see where it goes. 1260 01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:46,280 Speaker 2: I do have to say, like, you got three Virginia 1261 01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:49,760 Speaker 2: Tech kids here on this roster, and they've all flashed 1262 01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:54,960 Speaker 2: in training camp. Dorian Strong, the sixth round pick, Keyante Jenkins, 1263 01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:59,920 Speaker 2: the undrafted rookie linebacker, and then Gosnell. They've all flashed 1264 01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:03,160 Speaker 2: through the course of training camp. So you know, as 1265 01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:05,479 Speaker 2: far as the Hokies go, they've done pretty darn well 1266 01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:10,000 Speaker 2: here in Bill's camp, thus far grimmy on the tweets, 1267 01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:13,640 Speaker 2: she'd asks do tight ends, especially those who will be 1268 01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:18,080 Speaker 2: blocking like Jackson Hawes, receive coaching from both their position 1269 01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:23,720 Speaker 2: coach and coach Chromer. Their position coach is Rob Boris, 1270 01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:26,200 Speaker 2: the tight ends coach, and the answer to your question 1271 01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:30,400 Speaker 2: is yes and yes because they do get some instruction 1272 01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:34,800 Speaker 2: from Coach Chromer in terms of executing the blocking techniques 1273 01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:37,000 Speaker 2: and such that are required if they're going to be 1274 01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:40,720 Speaker 2: the in line guy. The quote unquote why tight end? Well, 1275 01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:43,800 Speaker 2: but they do work with Rob Boris. Primarily every team 1276 01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:44,080 Speaker 2: does it. 1277 01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:47,919 Speaker 3: I mean you'll have days where the tight ends will 1278 01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:50,680 Speaker 3: go into the O line meeting room and talk about 1279 01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:52,800 Speaker 3: how the plays the run game that they're gonna run. 1280 01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:57,200 Speaker 3: So yeah, it just by happenstance, you'll get coaching from 1281 01:07:57,320 --> 01:07:59,960 Speaker 3: the O line coach. But yes, there will be some 1282 01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:01,680 Speaker 3: specific I don't know that he'll take him over and 1283 01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:04,000 Speaker 3: do individual work with him. Boris will do that. Yes, 1284 01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:07,600 Speaker 3: But Chromer and Boris are you know, they're on the 1285 01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:08,880 Speaker 3: same team too, So. 1286 01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:13,160 Speaker 2: I mean even here in the field house when they're 1287 01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:17,719 Speaker 2: not practicing, we'll often see coach Boris and Coach Chromer 1288 01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:20,920 Speaker 2: together and you know they might be just going for 1289 01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:23,120 Speaker 2: a stroll to get out of their office, right, you know, 1290 01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:25,960 Speaker 2: to stare at something else besides their screen. And they'll 1291 01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:28,280 Speaker 2: be here walking around the field house doing laps together 1292 01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:31,040 Speaker 2: and they're talking. You know, they're talking about. 1293 01:08:30,760 --> 01:08:33,400 Speaker 3: Stuff, probably not talking about the weather. 1294 01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:40,240 Speaker 2: No George asks, how is the Bills defense doing to 1295 01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:44,320 Speaker 2: change in regards to third down? Terrible last year and 1296 01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:49,400 Speaker 2: hoping to see major improvement Go Bills. Well, I think 1297 01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:55,400 Speaker 2: the change was based on the investment We witnessed free 1298 01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:58,320 Speaker 2: agency defensive lineman side. 1299 01:08:58,160 --> 01:09:01,439 Speaker 3: Three three defensive Mike and Joby and. 1300 01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:08,320 Speaker 2: Joey Bosa, draft three drafted Landon Jackson, TJ. Sanders, Dion Walker. 1301 01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:12,680 Speaker 3: So coaching and coach a new coach, defensive coordinator from 1302 01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:15,719 Speaker 3: a year ago brought in here to be a defensive assistant. 1303 01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:18,439 Speaker 2: So you have defensive line coach Marcus West, but now 1304 01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:22,160 Speaker 2: you also have assistant defensive line coach Jason Rebrovich and 1305 01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:25,840 Speaker 2: senior defensive assistant Ryan Nielsen. All three of those men 1306 01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:30,720 Speaker 2: are working with the defensive line specifically, and it's for 1307 01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:34,200 Speaker 2: a reason to get better on third down. But to 1308 01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:37,920 Speaker 2: get better on third down, as you know, you have 1309 01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:39,800 Speaker 2: to be better on first and second down to get 1310 01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:42,800 Speaker 2: to those pass rushing opportunities to affect the quarterback on 1311 01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:46,880 Speaker 2: third down. So that's a long way of saying all 1312 01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:53,280 Speaker 2: of this investment is aimed at that. It's plain and simple. Now, 1313 01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:57,840 Speaker 2: let's see what that translates into. They've added talent, both 1314 01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:02,840 Speaker 2: veteran talent, young talent, and they've added coaching experience to 1315 01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:06,760 Speaker 2: that position group. Let's see what all of that yields 1316 01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:09,120 Speaker 2: for the group when it comes to the money down 1317 01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:09,559 Speaker 2: third down. 1318 01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:12,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's I mean, that's a lot of we've 1319 01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:15,519 Speaker 3: talked about it over the last month or two about 1320 01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:19,519 Speaker 3: how much they've thrown at that defensive line, and it's 1321 01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:22,800 Speaker 3: not all about third down, but it's about third down. 1322 01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:27,200 Speaker 3: So there's a lot of assets thrown at that at 1323 01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:28,559 Speaker 3: that But. 1324 01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:31,880 Speaker 2: I can tell you just in the interactions we've had 1325 01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:36,439 Speaker 2: with the coaching staff and the personnel department, they are 1326 01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:39,719 Speaker 2: very excited to see what it brings to the field, 1327 01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:43,000 Speaker 2: all of these investments they've made along the way, you 1328 01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:46,479 Speaker 2: can tell the personnel department and the coaching staff on 1329 01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:50,519 Speaker 2: that side of the ball is excited to see what 1330 01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:53,240 Speaker 2: all that investment will bring to the product on the field, 1331 01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:56,599 Speaker 2: and hopefully it's very very positive and much improved results. 1332 01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:59,160 Speaker 3: They've always they always want, they always want a mix 1333 01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:04,560 Speaker 3: of youth and veteran, savvy, young legs, old experience, you experience, 1334 01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:08,599 Speaker 3: big guys, fast guys, exit the whole thing, and they 1335 01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:11,240 Speaker 3: are very excited about the group they've got in there. 1336 01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:14,519 Speaker 3: But they got that group's got to produce it now, see, 1337 01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:15,040 Speaker 3: let's see it. 1338 01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:18,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, break time for us here more of your questions, 1339 01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:19,960 Speaker 2: both on the phone lines at eight oh three oh 1340 01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:23,120 Speaker 2: five fifty and on the tweet sheet at one Bill's Live. 1341 01:11:23,439 --> 01:11:25,640 Speaker 2: So if you have a question, today's the day to 1342 01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:28,240 Speaker 2: do it.

Yes you're 1353 01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:01,840 Speaker 2: and next, what do you got for us? Richard? 1354 01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:10,200 Speaker 15: Good Afternoon's good to hear discussion your earlier segment. Amount 1355 01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:13,240 Speaker 15: of soul so my thunder, but it's you know, I 1356 01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:15,280 Speaker 15: love our gentle manager. I think he's done well with 1357 01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:20,160 Speaker 15: our coach and synchronizing. But this defensive line. I heard 1358 01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:25,080 Speaker 15: what you said earlier, but it resembles more like throwing 1359 01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:29,080 Speaker 15: the kitchen sink at it versus having a very clear 1360 01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:32,280 Speaker 15: defined plant. And so I don't know if it's the players, 1361 01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:37,920 Speaker 15: the scheme, the coaches. I can't figure out what's going 1362 01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:42,599 Speaker 15: on there because we're the slow development of Ed Oliver 1363 01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:47,600 Speaker 15: not being able to do much with Boogie basham Epanessa, 1364 01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:51,280 Speaker 15: not really firing, Rousseau doing okay. 1365 01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:52,160 Speaker 9: I just. 1366 01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:57,519 Speaker 15: I'm still not confident and I'm I'm worried because that 1367 01:12:57,640 --> 01:13:01,240 Speaker 15: I think is our major culprit and get into the 1368 01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:05,479 Speaker 15: yeah yeah from. 1369 01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:07,200 Speaker 3: I don't have a problem with that either. I mean, 1370 01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:10,400 Speaker 3: I think it's certainly if not, I don't think there's 1371 01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:13,000 Speaker 3: one reason why the Bills can't, you know, get to 1372 01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:16,479 Speaker 3: the super Bowl and win it, because there's so many things. 1373 01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:18,680 Speaker 3: There's so many moving parts in every given The end 1374 01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:20,320 Speaker 3: of every season is a little bit different than the 1375 01:13:20,439 --> 01:13:22,800 Speaker 3: end of every other season. So I don't think there's 1376 01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:27,040 Speaker 3: any one reason, but certainly getting to that point, I 1377 01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:29,080 Speaker 3: think the defensive line and the way the defense played 1378 01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:31,040 Speaker 3: last year was a big factor in it. They had 1379 01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:33,200 Speaker 3: one They did one thing last year and one thing well, 1380 01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:36,680 Speaker 3: and that was get turnovers. Everything else was a roll 1381 01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:38,600 Speaker 3: of the dice in a given week. Certainly, once in 1382 01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:40,240 Speaker 3: a while they'd get some sacks and you know, you 1383 01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:42,320 Speaker 3: go back to some of the games you think, oh, yeah, man, 1384 01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:44,800 Speaker 3: they got like four sacks in that game, but it 1385 01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:46,360 Speaker 3: was a forty to seven blowout. 1386 01:13:46,479 --> 01:13:50,599 Speaker 2: Right, So they were eighteenth in sacks last right, Eighteenth 1387 01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:52,840 Speaker 2: is after being second the year before. 1388 01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:56,240 Speaker 3: So yeah, it's an issue. I'm not saying the d 1389 01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:58,559 Speaker 3: line is the only thing that they needed to work on, 1390 01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:00,920 Speaker 3: or there is the magic lix ur for whatever, but 1391 01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:04,439 Speaker 3: I'll say this, it's obviously this team puts some effort 1392 01:14:04,479 --> 01:14:07,599 Speaker 3: into getting that group better. There's no reason to think 1393 01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:10,120 Speaker 3: they felt like they needed to do that two years 1394 01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:13,719 Speaker 3: ago because they were you know, like I say, second 1395 01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:16,040 Speaker 3: in the league in sacks, and when they dropped off, 1396 01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:19,880 Speaker 3: it dropped off big, so I think they missed it. 1397 01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:22,240 Speaker 3: I think they put some effort into getting back to 1398 01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:26,080 Speaker 3: that point, and I think the ripple effects of having 1399 01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:31,120 Speaker 3: a dominant defensive line affect every aspect of the team, 1400 01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:33,560 Speaker 3: and I think they realize it and they're trying to 1401 01:14:33,560 --> 01:14:36,360 Speaker 3: get better quick I think, but I say this, Brownie 1402 01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:39,479 Speaker 3: said it. The guys who are actually in it, they're 1403 01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:42,200 Speaker 3: excited about it. They want to see it. They're excited 1404 01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:45,479 Speaker 3: about what's happening over there during this far, during training camp, 1405 01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:49,519 Speaker 3: obviously early, but they're excited about what they've seen so far. 1406 01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:53,360 Speaker 2: I think they feel they're equipped with all of the 1407 01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:56,240 Speaker 2: elements that you'd like to have for a defensive line. 1408 01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:59,439 Speaker 2: And what I mean by that is they feel they've 1409 01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:04,439 Speaker 2: assembled some elite talent. It's not all elite, but there's 1410 01:15:04,439 --> 01:15:09,120 Speaker 2: some elite talent there. Bosa notably. I think they believe 1411 01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:12,920 Speaker 2: Rousseau can get to elite status and this might be 1412 01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:15,680 Speaker 2: the year where we finally see that happen. I think 1413 01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:20,599 Speaker 2: they feel they have added an influx of youth, and 1414 01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:23,679 Speaker 2: youth usually holds up better up there. Through the course 1415 01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:26,120 Speaker 2: of the season. They recover faster from little nicks and 1416 01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:29,200 Speaker 2: bumps and whatever, and I think they feel they've added 1417 01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:33,639 Speaker 2: valuable veteran experience, which in turn has given them depth, 1418 01:15:34,439 --> 01:15:39,840 Speaker 2: so talent, youth, proven production, BOSA and experience. I think 1419 01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:43,559 Speaker 2: they feel they have all of that in droves, more 1420 01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:47,320 Speaker 2: than maybe they've ever had before. In the McDermott era, 1421 01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:49,840 Speaker 2: we've seen a lot of one year contract players over 1422 01:15:49,880 --> 01:15:52,760 Speaker 2: the years. We've seen them assemble spare parts through the 1423 01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:56,360 Speaker 2: course of the year. Last year included you know, Jordan 1424 01:15:56,439 --> 01:15:59,280 Speaker 2: Phillips and Quentin Jefferson come in here at the end 1425 01:15:59,280 --> 01:16:02,360 Speaker 2: of the year because they're so shorthanded. I don't think 1426 01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:04,720 Speaker 2: we're going to see that this year because of all 1427 01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:07,080 Speaker 2: the investments that we've talked about that have been made 1428 01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:12,760 Speaker 2: over the course of this offseason. Veterans, young players, coaches. Now, 1429 01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:15,240 Speaker 2: let's see it and how it plays out. But I 1430 01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:18,599 Speaker 2: think they feel they the cupboard is as stocked as 1431 01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:21,840 Speaker 2: it has ever been for the defensive line, I believe 1432 01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:22,880 Speaker 2: in the McDermott era. 1433 01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:26,479 Speaker 3: Right, we'll see if it worked plays out to that. 1434 01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:29,960 Speaker 3: Two years ago when they got Leonard Floyd, he turned 1435 01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:31,880 Speaker 3: out to be a home run for them, but he 1436 01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:34,479 Speaker 3: signed a one year deal and he moved on his way. Now, 1437 01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:36,519 Speaker 3: he was in San Francisco last year, came back here 1438 01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:40,639 Speaker 3: and played in the snow game. Remember they did hit 1439 01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:44,120 Speaker 3: it with him. Now he was also playing with Vaughn 1440 01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:46,760 Speaker 3: and then Vonn got hurt, and then Vonn got hurt. 1441 01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:49,240 Speaker 3: So they were second in the league in sacks that year. 1442 01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:52,760 Speaker 3: So it worked. That plan does work. And you know, 1443 01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:56,000 Speaker 3: to Georgia's from Rochester's call, he said he felt like 1444 01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:58,200 Speaker 3: they were just throwing out this kitchen sink at it 1445 01:16:58,200 --> 01:16:59,920 Speaker 3: without a real plan. Believe me, they've got a plan. 1446 01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:03,280 Speaker 3: They've got a plan and it and it before they 1447 01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:06,719 Speaker 3: execute any decision, before they signed Boza, before they signed Hoyt, 1448 01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:10,240 Speaker 3: before they sign Oguin Jobie, before they draft Walker, Sanders 1449 01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:15,360 Speaker 3: and Jackson, they look at what their options are at 1450 01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:19,000 Speaker 3: any given moment and they choose a plan from their options. So, uh, 1451 01:17:19,439 --> 01:17:24,960 Speaker 3: this is the plan that they that they're executing, and 1452 01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:28,000 Speaker 3: they seem are the early going. They seem very happy 1453 01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:28,719 Speaker 3: with how it's gone. 1454 01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:31,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, and to some of our previous callers points, they've 1455 01:17:31,439 --> 01:17:33,960 Speaker 2: have had a lot of other plans and the results 1456 01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:38,400 Speaker 2: have been mixed at best. So the criticism is fair. 1457 01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:42,680 Speaker 2: But let's see what what this iteration of the defensive 1458 01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:46,080 Speaker 2: line brings this year because you can tell, like you 1459 01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:49,919 Speaker 2: can visibly tell, the coaching staff and the personnel department 1460 01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:53,559 Speaker 2: is excited about what they've assembled for that defensive front 1461 01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:56,720 Speaker 2: this season. Let's hope the proof in the pudding is 1462 01:17:56,840 --> 01:17:59,680 Speaker 2: just as good. We go to Carl and Amherst next. 1463 01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:00,720 Speaker 3: What's Carl. 1464 01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:05,360 Speaker 2: Carl Radio, Bud, what do you got? 1465 01:18:05,439 --> 01:18:08,800 Speaker 7: Good afternoon, guys, Good afternoon. 1466 01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:13,040 Speaker 16: What I'm calling about is I've heard a lot a 1467 01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:18,080 Speaker 16: lot on your defensive line and what I want to know, Uh, 1468 01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:23,000 Speaker 16: what do you think of our draft choice, Devon Walker, 1469 01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:27,479 Speaker 16: our monster there a defensive tackle. Do you think that 1470 01:18:27,840 --> 01:18:30,559 Speaker 16: he's a bust? Or do you think that he's doing 1471 01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:31,439 Speaker 16: well in camp? 1472 01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:34,320 Speaker 3: Well, it's Dion Walker, but yeah it. 1473 01:18:35,840 --> 01:18:37,840 Speaker 2: I don't know played the game. 1474 01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:42,719 Speaker 3: He hasn't played it down. The upside on Dion Walker 1475 01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:46,240 Speaker 3: is enormous, just like his body is. He has shown 1476 01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:48,680 Speaker 3: the ability at the highest level of college football to 1477 01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:52,120 Speaker 3: play extremely well. He was projected two years ago to 1478 01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:54,760 Speaker 3: be a top fifteen pick in the NFL draft and 1479 01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:58,040 Speaker 3: then his uh, his back was hurt. He had a 1480 01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:02,720 Speaker 3: cars defect that the club that when they put their 1481 01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:07,120 Speaker 3: doctor's hands on him, when they got their medical report, 1482 01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:12,800 Speaker 3: they were not scared of that injury. They feel like 1483 01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:15,439 Speaker 3: he's going to be able to overcome that and move 1484 01:19:15,479 --> 01:19:17,200 Speaker 3: on to have the career he should have had and 1485 01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:20,639 Speaker 3: recover from it. If he does that, the Bill's got 1486 01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:25,880 Speaker 3: a top fifteen draft pick in the fourth round. They 1487 01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:27,960 Speaker 3: are handling him in the way they seem the team's 1488 01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:29,559 Speaker 3: best to them. They're going to get him on the field. 1489 01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:34,639 Speaker 3: And no, he is not a bust at all. He's 1490 01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:38,000 Speaker 3: a fourth round draft pick. The floor is low on 1491 01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:41,960 Speaker 3: a fourth round draft pick. His upside, though, is off 1492 01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:45,000 Speaker 3: the charts. We'll see where he heads. But they do 1493 01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:47,080 Speaker 3: have a guy that they have a lot of faith 1494 01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:49,160 Speaker 3: in it. Yes, there's no way you can say he's 1495 01:19:49,160 --> 01:19:52,400 Speaker 3: a bust after two weeks of training camp and twelve practices. 1496 01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:56,760 Speaker 3: So yeah, give the guy a chance to let's see 1497 01:19:56,800 --> 01:19:58,240 Speaker 3: what he does. I mean that we're all in that 1498 01:19:58,400 --> 01:19:59,840 Speaker 3: same spot right now. 1499 01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:03,120 Speaker 2: And the good news is coach mcdermoy pretty much said 1500 01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:08,760 Speaker 2: at the outset of camp he's got a clean bill 1501 01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:10,760 Speaker 2: of health and he's good to go. Now. He's still 1502 01:20:10,800 --> 01:20:14,400 Speaker 2: going to be monitored because of that injury history, but 1503 01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:18,000 Speaker 2: they have not put any limitations on him after carefully 1504 01:20:18,280 --> 01:20:22,439 Speaker 2: monitoring him through the spring, because he went from getting 1505 01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:25,599 Speaker 2: three snaps in a team period to getting four snaps 1506 01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:28,280 Speaker 2: in a team period to getting five and then six 1507 01:20:28,840 --> 01:20:32,560 Speaker 2: and now here in training camp. You know the limitations 1508 01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:36,160 Speaker 2: are off. And where it goes from here, I think 1509 01:20:36,200 --> 01:20:39,759 Speaker 2: we'll see in the preseason when he gets to play full, 1510 01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:43,040 Speaker 2: all out football, because part of the reason his production 1511 01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:46,799 Speaker 2: dropped off so precipitously in his final year in college 1512 01:20:46,840 --> 01:20:49,040 Speaker 2: from what it was in the twenty twenty three season 1513 01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:53,640 Speaker 2: was because of that pars defect that went undetected and 1514 01:20:53,720 --> 01:20:57,519 Speaker 2: he played hurt. And when you're a six foot seven 1515 01:20:57,600 --> 01:21:00,519 Speaker 2: man at three hundred and thirty pounds and you have 1516 01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:03,680 Speaker 2: a lower back problem, you're not going to play with 1517 01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:06,760 Speaker 2: the same leverage you did when you were healthy, and 1518 01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:10,320 Speaker 2: it compromised his effectiveness as a player. If he can 1519 01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:13,920 Speaker 2: get back to being a pain free player, which all 1520 01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:17,240 Speaker 2: indications are he is now, and he can cut it loose, 1521 01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:21,600 Speaker 2: you might have something. Yeah, let's wait and see it. 1522 01:21:22,400 --> 01:21:24,280 Speaker 2: At least, as Steve said, let's at least give him 1523 01:21:24,280 --> 01:21:27,280 Speaker 2: a chance to prove what he can do on a 1524 01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:29,760 Speaker 2: football field. And he's learning on the job, just like 1525 01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:33,080 Speaker 2: everybody else in terms of the draft class and the rookies. 1526 01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:37,280 Speaker 2: So let's see how he progresses through his rookie season. 1527 01:21:38,120 --> 01:21:39,640 Speaker 2: We got to go back to the tweets sheet to 1528 01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:43,719 Speaker 2: get some more of the questions there. TL asks, I'm 1529 01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:47,080 Speaker 2: anxious to see Dalton Kincaid this season. Do we know 1530 01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:51,080 Speaker 2: how he feels this year? Who will Josh's target be 1531 01:21:51,680 --> 01:21:55,200 Speaker 2: in the middle of the field. I think it's safe 1532 01:21:55,200 --> 01:21:59,840 Speaker 2: to say that after battling knee injuries in both me 1533 01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:05,480 Speaker 2: that in my estimation, compromised his speed and separation ability 1534 01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:09,960 Speaker 2: in the passing game, that Kinkaid feels considerably better this year. 1535 01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:12,080 Speaker 2: I mean, he was basically playing last year with a 1536 01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:14,840 Speaker 2: torn pcl in one of his knees, and he played 1537 01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:19,879 Speaker 2: through it. He was clearly impacted by it. He's healthy 1538 01:22:19,920 --> 01:22:23,880 Speaker 2: now and he really hasn't missed much time. I think 1539 01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:27,840 Speaker 2: he missed one or two practices with some knee soreness 1540 01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:31,799 Speaker 2: that was remedied, and he hasn't shown any ill effect since. 1541 01:22:32,360 --> 01:22:35,240 Speaker 2: So everybody crossed your fingers right. You know, he gets 1542 01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:37,000 Speaker 2: through the preseason healthy and it's good to go in 1543 01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:37,639 Speaker 2: the regular seas. 1544 01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:40,360 Speaker 3: He is the thing about this offensive philosophy, the bills 1545 01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:47,000 Speaker 3: proved worked last year. Everybody eats a mentality. I mean, 1546 01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:49,760 Speaker 3: when somebody goes down on this offense, man, it's like 1547 01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:53,160 Speaker 3: changing a tire. It just keeps going because they don't 1548 01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:55,640 Speaker 3: depend on anyone guy. Now you had a problem four 1549 01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:58,120 Speaker 3: or five years ago when Steph Diggs goes down. If 1550 01:22:58,160 --> 01:23:00,559 Speaker 3: Steph Diggs went down, they got a whole in their offense. 1551 01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:03,560 Speaker 3: They don't have anybody to fill this offensive philosophy. And 1552 01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:05,280 Speaker 3: one of the reasons it works so well is that 1553 01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:07,720 Speaker 3: if if Dalton Kinkaid is down, or if he's not, 1554 01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:10,559 Speaker 3: if he's not one hundred percent or what you've got 1555 01:23:10,640 --> 01:23:15,200 Speaker 3: Khalil Shakir, you got Keon, you got Curtis Samuel, you 1556 01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:18,799 Speaker 3: got go down the list, and now you got Palmer, 1557 01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:21,240 Speaker 3: and you got more, you got Chanauld, you got all 1558 01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:24,760 Speaker 3: these Shavers. You've got a ton of other guys that 1559 01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:30,880 Speaker 3: are there. It's not This offense doesn't have this center people. 1560 01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:32,840 Speaker 3: And with an exception, maybe James Cook, you can make 1561 01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:38,679 Speaker 3: the argument for but even he rotates in and out. Yeah, 1562 01:23:38,880 --> 01:23:41,679 Speaker 3: I would love to see Kinkaid come in and play well. 1563 01:23:42,080 --> 01:23:44,880 Speaker 3: But even if he does, I don't know that it's 1564 01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:53,360 Speaker 3: gonna inflate his target share. You know, same thing with Knox, Cook, Coleman, 1565 01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:58,479 Speaker 3: Shakir Jackson, Hawes is now going to get you know, 1566 01:23:58,560 --> 01:24:02,880 Speaker 3: squeeze his way into that menu. So certainly the health 1567 01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:04,720 Speaker 3: of these guys is important because they want you want 1568 01:24:04,760 --> 01:24:11,799 Speaker 3: him to play their best. But on offense, we got guys, 1569 01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:16,200 Speaker 3: you got guys, and nobody is so important that when 1570 01:24:16,240 --> 01:24:17,560 Speaker 3: you pluck him out of there, at least at the 1571 01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:21,040 Speaker 3: skill position, unless you know Josh, you pluck him out 1572 01:24:21,040 --> 01:24:22,679 Speaker 3: of there, it's gonna make a hole in your roster. 1573 01:24:22,840 --> 01:24:24,960 Speaker 3: So yes, I would love to see Kim Kid come 1574 01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:28,840 Speaker 3: out and be everything we hoped he'd be. But it's 1575 01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:32,200 Speaker 3: a crowded room. And one of the reasons this philosophy 1576 01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:36,640 Speaker 3: works so well is that many nobody's absence is going 1577 01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:39,840 Speaker 3: to make a big hole in it. Keon came in 1578 01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:42,360 Speaker 3: and blew it apart in a couple of weeks there 1579 01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:44,200 Speaker 3: with Seattle, and he came out in that was the 1580 01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:46,040 Speaker 3: Rams game, and the next week I can't remember what 1581 01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:47,840 Speaker 3: it was. There's a couple of weeks there where Keon 1582 01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:49,559 Speaker 3: was like, Wow, this is the guy we thought he 1583 01:24:49,640 --> 01:24:51,960 Speaker 3: was gonna be. He gets a wrist injury and the 1584 01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:53,519 Speaker 3: offense just hums along. 1585 01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:59,360 Speaker 2: So Kim Kaid can't run, he misses a month, and 1586 01:24:59,439 --> 01:25:02,960 Speaker 2: the offense just keeps keeps rolling. Thirty burgers every week. 1587 01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:06,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, so yes, you want good players make you better, 1588 01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:11,880 Speaker 3: no question about it. Knox, Kincaid, Coleman, Shakir and the 1589 01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:17,920 Speaker 3: rest Cook Johnson, ray Davis, Ray Davis. I mean, this 1590 01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:22,560 Speaker 3: thing just keeps rolling. And it's because of this offensive philosophy, 1591 01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:25,160 Speaker 3: the way they use their people that nobody leaves a 1592 01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:26,160 Speaker 3: hole when they're not there. 1593 01:25:26,479 --> 01:25:29,439 Speaker 2: So, to answer your question, TL, he does feel better. 1594 01:25:29,800 --> 01:25:32,439 Speaker 2: He looks like he's running better. He looks back to 1595 01:25:32,479 --> 01:25:35,960 Speaker 2: the tight end we saw in his rookie season when 1596 01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:38,639 Speaker 2: he was getting separation and he was a viable target 1597 01:25:38,680 --> 01:25:41,920 Speaker 2: on a consistent basis. So as long as he stays healthy, 1598 01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:45,200 Speaker 2: hopefully that is what we see more of the production 1599 01:25:45,280 --> 01:25:47,240 Speaker 2: we saw in his rookie season when he broke a 1600 01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:49,519 Speaker 2: team record for tight ends in a single season with 1601 01:25:49,600 --> 01:25:53,639 Speaker 2: seventy three receptions. Gotta take a break here, one segment 1602 01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:55,400 Speaker 2: to go. When we return, we'll answer some more of 1603 01:25:55,439 --> 01:25:58,000 Speaker 2: your questions next here on an obl Friday fan mailbag 1604 01:25:58,160 --> 01:26:00,280 Speaker 2: edition of One Bill's Live. Because anybody call out health. 1605 01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:13,400 Speaker 2: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right back here, I want 1606 01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:15,519 Speaker 2: Bills live, Chris Brown. Steve had asked me one second 1607 01:26:15,560 --> 01:26:18,160 Speaker 2: to go here and we'll answer a couple of quick 1608 01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:21,400 Speaker 2: questions left here on the tweet sheet in the OBL 1609 01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:25,040 Speaker 2: Friday fan mail bag, and Jack asks, I'd like to 1610 01:26:25,080 --> 01:26:27,760 Speaker 2: know about this punter Robbins. I've never heard of him. 1611 01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:31,519 Speaker 2: Is he experienced? He obviously beat out Kamarta, but how 1612 01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:34,519 Speaker 2: is his leg? Has he been getting good hang time? 1613 01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:38,840 Speaker 2: How about holding experience with bass out? I'm nervous. Also, 1614 01:26:38,960 --> 01:26:41,519 Speaker 2: how has Syracuse native Casey Rogers looked? 1615 01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:42,040 Speaker 9: All right? 1616 01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:45,559 Speaker 2: A lot in there, Jack, But I will say, through 1617 01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:48,080 Speaker 2: the course of the spring, when Kamarta was still here 1618 01:26:48,120 --> 01:26:51,320 Speaker 2: and there was a quote unquote punting competition, Steve and 1619 01:26:51,320 --> 01:26:54,800 Speaker 2: I felt similarly. We both felt Brad Robbins was a 1620 01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:57,880 Speaker 2: more consistent punter of the two. And then when they 1621 01:26:57,960 --> 01:27:00,080 Speaker 2: had to make a roster move because they had a 1622 01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:02,479 Speaker 2: ash of injuries at a position and they had to 1623 01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:07,200 Speaker 2: add there, what they did was they Camarta was expendable, 1624 01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:09,000 Speaker 2: and they clipped him, and all of it, for all 1625 01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:11,960 Speaker 2: intents and purposes, ended the punting competition it was started. 1626 01:27:12,040 --> 01:27:17,599 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a consensus with all the casual guys 1627 01:27:17,600 --> 01:27:19,720 Speaker 3: that don't have any skin in the game, the media 1628 01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:25,600 Speaker 3: that he was better, punted better, bigger leg more consistently, 1629 01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:28,800 Speaker 3: the whole thing. They just noticed he would have been better, 1630 01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:31,120 Speaker 3: and that's why they made the move. When the roster 1631 01:27:31,200 --> 01:27:33,599 Speaker 3: got to the point, they said, let's make the decision now, 1632 01:27:33,960 --> 01:27:37,439 Speaker 3: so they did. Robbins. He's got plenty of He's got 1633 01:27:37,439 --> 01:27:38,599 Speaker 3: plenty of leg, yes, and. 1634 01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:41,400 Speaker 2: His hangtime has been good. He can drive the ball 1635 01:27:41,400 --> 01:27:43,120 Speaker 2: if you need him to, he can hang it. 1636 01:27:43,600 --> 01:27:44,200 Speaker 3: He can do the. 1637 01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:46,479 Speaker 2: Aussie style pun as we know, where it bounces back 1638 01:27:46,520 --> 01:27:48,320 Speaker 2: away from the end zone when you're trying to place 1639 01:27:48,360 --> 01:27:52,200 Speaker 2: it somewhere. He's demonstrated all of that and in camp 1640 01:27:52,400 --> 01:27:54,840 Speaker 2: and just for his history, just for a little background, 1641 01:27:55,040 --> 01:27:57,479 Speaker 2: he's a Michigan product. He was a sixth round pick 1642 01:27:57,520 --> 01:28:00,120 Speaker 2: of the Bengals in the twenty twenty three drafts, so 1643 01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:02,840 Speaker 2: a good enough punter where he got drafted, which isn't 1644 01:28:02,880 --> 01:28:06,000 Speaker 2: always the case. And he spent a year with the 1645 01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:09,240 Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals in the twenty twenty three season. 1646 01:28:09,360 --> 01:28:12,639 Speaker 3: You can your concern about his holding in the operation 1647 01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:15,559 Speaker 3: for fieldals. That's legit, I mean bass hasn't been out there, 1648 01:28:16,560 --> 01:28:20,120 Speaker 3: so they don't we haven't seen it. Now. He is 1649 01:28:20,640 --> 01:28:25,120 Speaker 3: the guy who when they brought Caden Davis in and 1650 01:28:25,160 --> 01:28:30,320 Speaker 3: signed him the kicker. He's the holder, so if the 1651 01:28:30,320 --> 01:28:32,200 Speaker 3: guys are working out, he's the guy's holding for the 1652 01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:34,320 Speaker 3: guys working out. So apparently he was good enough to 1653 01:28:34,360 --> 01:28:37,160 Speaker 3: get a guy signed by the team, although they didn't 1654 01:28:37,160 --> 01:28:40,639 Speaker 3: have a choice of holders, so they're happy with him 1655 01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:42,559 Speaker 3: doing that. Otherwise they wouldn't have made the movie either, 1656 01:28:42,640 --> 01:28:45,639 Speaker 3: So that seems to be okay. But you're right, that's 1657 01:28:45,680 --> 01:28:47,600 Speaker 3: a legit concern because we haven't seen it because of 1658 01:28:47,640 --> 01:28:50,160 Speaker 3: Bass's injury, not so much about Robins. 1659 01:28:50,200 --> 01:28:52,360 Speaker 2: So yeah, and we'll see Robbins has got to perform 1660 01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:54,720 Speaker 2: in the preseason. But he's done very well in training. 1661 01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:56,639 Speaker 3: And you'll see Casey Rodgers on the field this weekend, 1662 01:28:56,640 --> 01:28:57,040 Speaker 3: I'm sure. 1663 01:28:57,160 --> 01:28:59,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been running with the third team most of 1664 01:28:59,880 --> 01:29:03,559 Speaker 2: the time here. For people that aren't as familiar with him, Yes, 1665 01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:08,080 Speaker 2: he's a Syracuse native, you know, played out West you 1666 01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:12,080 Speaker 2: know in college, and he was with the Giants, got released. 1667 01:29:12,080 --> 01:29:14,840 Speaker 2: Bill's picked him up and Steve's right, he will get 1668 01:29:14,880 --> 01:29:18,080 Speaker 2: a lot of playing time. Finally, from Patrick will the 1669 01:29:18,160 --> 01:29:20,400 Speaker 2: Utah alums get on the field. Cole Bishop and Dalton 1670 01:29:20,439 --> 01:29:23,280 Speaker 2: Kincaid seem to spend a lot of time injured. Kincaid's healthy, 1671 01:29:23,560 --> 01:29:26,320 Speaker 2: He's going to get some time tomorrow. Bishops still hurt 1672 01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:29,599 Speaker 2: with the quad injury. He will not play tomorrow. Kickoff 1673 01:29:29,760 --> 01:29:32,280 Speaker 2: is at one pm. I'll be on the radio side, 1674 01:29:32,320 --> 01:29:34,760 Speaker 2: Steve will be on the TV side, and we'll see 1675 01:29:34,800 --> 01:29:37,200 Speaker 2: you back here on Monday to recap it all at 1676 01:29:37,200 --> 01:29:37,799 Speaker 2: one o'clock.
