Yeah. By the way, we want to talk 7 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: about the new expansion to the training center, but Steve 8 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,240 Speaker 1: insists that it'd be called the Steve Tasker Training Center. 9 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: Are you preparing the napping wing?

So we'll uh, we don't want to commit 14 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 1: to that. We don't want his family to get too excited. 15 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: Yet we were talking about it. Give us a sense 16 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: of the purpose of, you know, expanding the facilities in 17 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 1: that way we were talking about have free agents and 18 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: how also the league is evolving constantly. But what are 19 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 1: the some of the nuts and bolts behind expanding the 20 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: training facility? What starts with Terry and Kim To be 21 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: honest with you, when we got here when I got 22 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: here and Sean uh, they were finishing up the training 23 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: room and remodeling that and catching it up, and we 24 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: really talked about and we've got like a performance We've 25 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: got athletic trainers like every team, we've got strength and 26 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: conditioning staff, but we also put a lot of attention 27 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: to performance in sports science. And it is for the team, 28 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: but it starts with the individual. And we're trying to 29 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: you know, evolve programs that you know, everybody's got different things. 30 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: Quarterbacks do certain things, skills, linemen, kickers, you know, some 31 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: guys need float pods, some guys need uh, you know, 32 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: the sleep stuff. Some guys want um yoga, you know, pilates, whatever. 33 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: We're trying to come up with various things to you know, 34 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: encourage these guys to come here and stay here and 35 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: again if we can lengthen their careers, you know, I 36 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 1: think that's attractive for them as they you know, potential 37 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: free agents choose where they want to you know play. 38 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: You know, their facilities. But you mentioned sports science. This 39 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: this team, this franchise has added several people the last 40 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: couple of years just in that area, right, Can you 41 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: talk about that what they do and how they work 42 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: with the training staff in the strength and conditioning staff 43 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, you know, um GPS stuff picked up, 44 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: you know, five six, seven years ago, is it really 45 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: where it was a handful of teams doing it and 46 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: now everybody's doing it moment monitoring the movement, the you know, 47 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: the speed, the burst and we try and do that 48 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: just because you want to build guys up properly, especially 49 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: as you're you know, climaxing to get ready for the season. 50 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,399 Speaker 1: And so it's it's watching guys. You may have some 51 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: injuries at receiver and now some of the guys that 52 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: are were taking this number of reps. You don't want 53 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: to let it jump, you know, you know a crazy spike. 54 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: That's when the soft tissue stuff, so which most of 55 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: that is You're always going to have the breaks and 56 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: things like that, but it's to eliminate soft tissue. You 57 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: get pulled muscles that kind of thing, and dehydration and 58 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: all the stuff that comes from those other symptoms. Yep, 59 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: talk to us a little bit about you know, when's 60 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: this going to happen. I mean, it's gonna take up 61 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: a chunk of Spart Park. In fact, my parking space 62 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: is now not gonna be available to me. I'll just 63 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: go on record to saying that. Right now, talk to 64 00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: us a little bit. We're getting stuff on Twitter about 65 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: you know, how's this construction going to affect game day stuff? 66 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: And because it's it's big, it is big, Um it 67 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: will you know, everything has a low inconvenience and we're 68 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 1: looking at it as um short term pain for long 69 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: term gain. And you know, we've condensed our weight room 70 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: but they've already set up a temporary wall and it'll 71 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: be fine. It's going to work. Well. We'll be at 72 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: our smallest roster during the season anyway. So the timing 73 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: as well, and we wanted to do this to give 74 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: them time to build this thing to be ready by 75 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: next April when we're you know, back to a full 76 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: roster and ready to start office. We've got all that 77 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: money to spend on free agency. Yeah, hundred percent. It 78 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: will definitely be recruiting. Man. It'll definitely help as we 79 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: do that. Even when we went through it this year, 80 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: you know, we were able to you know, a talk 81 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: about Buffalo and you know the culture and what a 82 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: football town this is. But be what Terry and Kim 83 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: have done. Uh, and you know, the guys that were 84 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: able to visit or something that aren't, we able to 85 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: send them pictures or videos of what we have here, 86 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,119 Speaker 1: and everything is really the best of the best. If 87 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: you wanted to say, maybe we didn't have the greatest 88 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: weight room, it was still a very good one. It's 89 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: now gonna be probably the best one in the twenty 90 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: five square feet of space. What we'll be in there. 91 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: What facilities will you have there? Yeah, you know, it'll 92 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: be a lot of the same stuff, but you'll have 93 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: more room. We'll have h we'll have more squat racks 94 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: and guys can do more things There's. It will allow 95 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: Eric Siano and his staff to branch out and have 96 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: different guys doing different things without having to wait so 97 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: long to you know, to jump on a squat rack 98 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: or you know, a bench press or whatever. We also 99 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: will have turf that guys can warm up in, you know, 100 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: and you know, we'll have video stuff that they can 101 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: use that as well. But there's it's just gonna give 102 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: us more room. We're gonna have extra rooms for like massage, yoga, pilates. 103 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: We have things now that are kind of crammed in 104 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 1: a small area for like sleep pods and float pods 105 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: and uh, we don't have a hyperpared chamber, but we're 106 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: going to add that. So we're still looking at all 107 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: what what we're gonna put in it, but uh, we 108 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: got a great plan and look forward to being done. 109 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: That does sleep pot asleep. That sounds like something that 110 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: maybe other Bills employees might be interested in. Yeah, are 111 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 1: you speaking for yourself a good way? It's you know 112 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: the way I think of it. And I'm not the 113 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: smartest guy, but I think it's like plugging yourself phone in. 114 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: It's it's you you need a charge, and you know 115 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: when you these guys have been running around, it's there's 116 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: proven science that says, hey, you don't want to get 117 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: too much sleep, but a nice twenty minute. So it's 118 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 1: a time thing. Uh, it's an apparatus. You put it, 119 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: pop it over your head, you lay back and it 120 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: wakes you up, you know after something. A little vibrates 121 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: and and a little sound and it's a twenty minute. Uh, 122 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: it's kind of a recharge. And that's that's the way 123 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 1: I view It's like going plugging yourself phone. That's going 124 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: in my next contract. I've been trying to sell my 125 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: wife and the minute nap concept for me awesome. The 126 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: problem is, she says, twenty turns into an eye right 127 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: right right sometimes so and tell me one word thing 128 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,799 Speaker 1: the sleep ponds in the what is that? So it's um, 129 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: it's this again another apparatus. I actually tried this, uh 130 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks before the draft. I was like, 131 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: you know, I got a lot on my plate, I'm 132 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: gonna try this. It was it was cool. Um so 133 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: century deprivation. It's you lay and you float in this water. 134 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: It's got a high amount of salt um. I don't 135 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 1: know all the chemical but you basically late and you 136 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: pull this thing and there's kind of there's some sound 137 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: like a cover over it a cover over, You pull 138 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: it over, same thing. You lay in there for twenty 139 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: minutes and you just float and it's it's basically like 140 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: you're laying on a cloud. So it's big. It's a 141 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: big big, it's it's kind of big. You just go 142 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: in there and your your full body is in there. 143 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: It's a it's a round circle and you you set 144 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: it in the water. The water is like you know, 145 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: a foot and you just lay back. Nothing's hit in 146 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: the bottom. It's like you're floating on a cloud for 147 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: twenty minutes, and there's some sounds and stuff you can 148 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 1: turn on just to put you like in a rain 149 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: forest or whatever. But my Christmas list is, grow Brandon. 150 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: When you get these these facilities and get this expansion, 151 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: will the Bills be at par with the rest of 152 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: the NFL or ahead of the curve a little bit? 153 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: It's definitely gonna be. I would be if we're not 154 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: the best, we're definitely gonna be top three. You don't 155 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: always know what everybody's doing, but uh, you know, Kim 156 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: and Terry are really they want to be best in 157 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: class in everything we do here, and I'd find it 158 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: hard to believe there's a better facility and set up 159 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: for not only players individually, but what we can do 160 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: here as a team. All Right, So you've got the 161 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: team is over in Saint John Fisher. They're coming over 162 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: here tonight. What and we were talking to we're laughing 163 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: about Yeah, we don't want to talk about any of 164 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: this training stuff. We want to talk about the quarterbacks. 165 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: But everything everything's kind of right on schedule now with 166 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: the team, with the quarterbacks, the rotations and the and 167 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,119 Speaker 1: all the other position groups. Plus we're getting some stuff 168 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: on our show. We want to know about guys like 169 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: Brandon LaFell and all the free agents out there and 170 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: how likely that all that stuff is. So what can 171 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: you tell us about where the state of the team 172 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: is now, along with who's here, who's not, who could 173 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: be here, and how the quarterback race is going? Yeah? Um, first, yeah, 174 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: just go ahead, man, you guys get at the floor. 175 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: Get I've got to kill um. You know, first of all, 176 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: it's going well. Everything at Saint John Fisher again has 177 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: been a great setup. Uh, knock on wood. We've we've 178 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: got a few you know, alleys as I like to 179 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: call him, but um, nothing major. And Nate Breski and 180 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: his staff have done a great job of trying to 181 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: get these guys back on the field. But um, you know, 182 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: start with the quarterbacks. We're on Paul run plan. There's 183 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: I know there's people tracking every throw and who gets 184 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: what in this period. Um, you know, if they think 185 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: something's changed, nothing's changed. This is we We have a 186 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: plan all the way through Game one against Carolina next week. 187 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: So um, nothing has changed, nothing will I know there's 188 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: you know people on our any change that's happened has 189 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: been scheduled, it's been scheduled, started. Nobody is the lead dog, nobody, 190 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,079 Speaker 1: nobody's fallen off the map. Everything. Uh, you know, it's 191 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: like anything. Sometimes when you go play golf, sometimes you 192 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: play better than others. Sometimes Aja plays better than Nate 193 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: and Josh, and sometimes it's flipped. They've all had their 194 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: days and that just that's the way it goes in 195 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: a good, healthy competition. The quarterback thing is interesting. There's 196 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: so much there's so much focus on that that there 197 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 1: are other things happening in this camp that get my attention. 198 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: Steve and I talk about it a lot. For instance, 199 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 1: I told Steve this early it seems like every practice 200 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: in Rochester so far, undrafted rookie free agent wide receiver 201 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: Cam Phillips makes a play and you see stuff like that, 202 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: and like there's something happening here, right. Do you see 203 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 1: things like that that you must as well? Yeah, your guys, 204 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: you definitely do again. We don't care where how guys 205 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: got on this team. They're all they're all equal, so 206 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: to speak. And a guy like Cam Phillips wasn't drafted, 207 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: but he hasn't. We promised all those guys day one 208 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: drafted or not. You will get every opportunity to make 209 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: to earn one of those fifty three positions. And to 210 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: your point, cam to to this point, he did a 211 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: great job in spring and he you know, he's picked 212 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: up right where he left off and has made a 213 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: lot of the thing that stood out to me the 214 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: contested balls. You know, when he's had guys on him, 215 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: those sometimes can be the hard ones. A lot of 216 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: guys can get open, but they don't always make it, 217 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 1: you know, that contested catching. He's really done a nice 218 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: job with that. When you look at your receiving group 219 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: and you look and you will of course have the 220 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: decisions to make the final fifty three man roster. Do 221 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: you look for different roles? To find roles for each 222 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: of them? In other words, you need the same typer. 223 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: Do you need like five or six different types of 224 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: fill out your roster? Yeah, you're you're looking for the best. 225 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 1: But um, you definitely don't want all guys that are 226 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: all six foot four, and you know you need the 227 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: guys the the quick in and out, you know, the slots. Um. 228 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: You want some speed if you got that, so in 229 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: a perfect world, you got various flavors. Um. But again 230 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: we're going to choose the best, you know, five six. 231 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: However many end up you know that we keep for 232 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: this for the fifty three. So what's the what's the 233 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: story with tonight's practice? I mean, is there anything significant 234 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: that you know? Is this a significant practice because it's 235 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: in the stadium or is it just is this, you know, 236 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 1: something you're doing for the fans, although yeah, they appreciate it. 237 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: I mean, is there something significant football wise that you're 238 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: looking for tonight or is this strictly let's get these 239 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: guys out of Saint John Fisher for a minute. Yeah, 240 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: I think it, you do. Uh, it is a chance 241 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: to let these guys get home. A change of scenery 242 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: sometimes gives you a little bit out of that because 243 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: you can get in a rut of just everyday practice. 244 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: At the same time, so we've had all these morning practices, 245 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: This flips to the night back in our stadium, gives 246 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: them a field. We want them. We want to own 247 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: the stadium. We want to defend our turf. Shaun did 248 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: a lot of Friday practices there just to get guys 249 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: familiar with this is our space. We want to defend 250 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: our turf, defend our dirt, and so this is the 251 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: chance for a lot of guys their first time to 252 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: come in here and since uh, not only what the 253 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: field is like, but what our fans are like here 254 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: in Buffalo. And I can speak to that as a player. 255 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: It is true because when you start, we practiced in 256 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: there a lot because we didn't have this kind of 257 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: facility back way back. There is something to be said 258 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: for being so familiar on that field and saying they 259 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: had this, you know, really comfortable there. You know, you 260 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: really feel like and I think that's some fans made 261 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: kind of poo poo that. Yeah, I think it's really 262 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: smart to say listen, because we had a locker room 263 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: over there too and everything, so it was really home. 264 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: Home is home, and it's not home just because the 265 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: fans are cheering on your favor. It's huge. It's home, 266 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: you know, at a lower, a deeper level, because that's 267 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: you know, it's like your living room. And two, we 268 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: generally practice on grass. This will be the first on turf, 269 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: and every stadium even when you have the services like 270 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: we have the artificial stuff um that you know, they've 271 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: all really improved from back when you know, the seaman 272 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: you were playing on asphalt, whatever, but uh, anyhow, this 273 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 1: will be the first chance for them to get a 274 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: you know, a feel and what type of grip they're 275 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: gonna want whether the field's wet or whether it's dry, 276 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: because it does matter, you know, when you're coming in 277 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: out of these cuts. You don't want too much traction, 278 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: but you want enough to be able to give in 279 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: and out. So we've had this conversation a lot, and 280 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: about the offensive line. You were forced Eric would unexpected 281 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: Richie and Cognito actually decided he probably was going to retire, 282 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: had some physically they wanted to come. You know, Richie 283 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: had some issues. Um and I've I've said, you know, 284 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: outside of Buffalo, there's been a lot of criticism about 285 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,319 Speaker 1: how you know this is going to be a real 286 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: struggle for the entire team, that you know that you 287 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: lost your left tackle. Well you know that left tackle 288 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 1: didn't start eleven games last year. The guy we have now, 289 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,959 Speaker 1: did you know, Dion Dacas did talk to us a 290 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: little bit about center, about left guard about that and 291 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,679 Speaker 1: you know how big a loss was it that Eric 292 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: would I think was significant, But you made some chapter 293 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: Richie and Cognito has been my contentions, like I don't know. 294 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: I mean he went to the Pro Bowl, but yeah, hey, 295 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:03,599 Speaker 1: I went to a Pro Bowl in the year that 296 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: I didn't even cover a kick, you know. So I 297 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: mean the Pro Bowl is nice, but you know, I 298 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: don't know that Richie Incognito was headed towards the lock 299 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: as a starter anyway. So I'll talk a little bit 300 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: about the strides you made, the concerns you had at 301 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: the beginning of the off season, and how you've addressed 302 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: them at the offensive line. Yeah, I mean Eric's as 303 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: we said, that was an unfortunate deal. And uh, he 304 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: was the one guy that I extended last August to 305 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: knowing that we may be you know, switching quarterbacks and 306 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: was looking for a constant there. But um, that's as 307 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: the nature of this game. As guys get injured, and 308 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: so you know, we are having a competition there between 309 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: Ryan Groy and Russell Bodine, and both of them have 310 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: their own strengths and weaknesses. And Sean's hold out Redman 311 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: the other day too for playing really well. He has 312 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: done a heck of a job and he came in 313 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: here and we've reshaped his body. The you know, Eric 314 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: Siano and those guys have really we wanted to add more, 315 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: more beef and more good beef, more more muscle, and 316 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: and he's really taking it on. He's a pro's pro. 317 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: He's one of the first guys out there getting ready 318 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: every day and we notice it. So m he's not 319 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: backing down either. He doesn't have as much playing time 320 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: or as much experience as the other two, but again 321 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: he will fight and I know he's looking forward to 322 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: showing what he can do when we get out there. 323 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: And again, um, you know, John Miller is back in 324 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: starting role. He's at right guard and we moved Vlad 325 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: over to Richie spot. Vlad, you know, started I think 326 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: thirteen games or twelve, I can't remember last year, but yeah, 327 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: the majority for sure. So it's not the same line. 328 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: But it's not like we're going out there. Dion, as 329 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: you said, played most of the year at left tackle. 330 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: I know nationally people are saying it's three linemen. Really 331 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: it's two because Cordy missed most of the season and 332 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: Jordan Mills started the whole year at right tackle and 333 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: he looks, you know, well on his way to doing 334 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: that again this year. Tell me your thoughts on Connor McDermott, 335 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: who gets everybody's attention because of his size. And I 336 00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: see him moving to the left side a little bit now. 337 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: He could be a potential valuable swing tackle right you 338 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: play either side. Yeah, he you know Connor. Uh, we 339 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: got him off waivers last year. Um, you know at 340 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: the fifty three cut. And that's the thing I you know, 341 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: remember scotting him in college. He played mainly left at UCLA. UM, 342 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: but he's he's gone back and forth, and you're looking 343 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: for versatility with all these guys, and we're he will 344 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: get opportunities as these games unfold at both left and right, UM, 345 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: as will Marshall Newhouse and and again. Uh, the guys 346 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: that aren't starting those those next few the verse Chili 347 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: is gonna be key to who's up on game day, 348 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: you know, center guards and and so forth. So a 349 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: lot to be decided once we get started next week 350 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: versus Carolina on defense a week into camp. Any observations 351 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: on Tremine Edmunds you're other first rounder? What do you 352 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: what do you see? Yeah? You know Tremaine, Um, he 353 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: works so hard and the guys really rallied around him, 354 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: and uh, I think he's been pressing, you know, and 355 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: and and then he makes that pick, and I think 356 00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: he was kind of I got this, you know, you know, 357 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: he's is kind of like you're you're waiting for something 358 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: to happen, because the very next day he almost had 359 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: a couple more picks. He had one, but he tipped 360 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: a ball and Alban had two. And I think the 361 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: more experience, the more calm he is the quarterback of 362 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: that defense. He has got a lot on his plate, 363 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: and we've asked the veterans around him to help handle 364 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: some other things that maybe a middle linebacker would do, 365 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 1: just so that he can. You know, at the end 366 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: of the day, he needs experience on the field, and 367 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 1: this will be another step. Next week a game against 368 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: another unfamiliar upon it will be a next step. This 369 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: whole preseason, you'd like to see him taking strides at 370 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 1: the middle linebackers in the back end of your defense. 371 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: It's been interesting to watch a pretty spirited battle for 372 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: the nickel corner job. Can you talk about that please? Yeah. 373 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: You know, we brought Philip Gaines in here, who has 374 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: played inside and outside and is an experienced player, and 375 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: then we drafted Terren Johnson at a weaver and those 376 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: guys have battled and it's gonna be a very good one. 377 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 1: You know, I would say Terren's prob believe um more 378 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: of just a nickel he can do outside. Uh, you know, 379 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,120 Speaker 1: I see him more just an inside. I see Philip 380 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: with a little more versatility inside out. But it will 381 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 1: be a good battle for those for those two guys, 382 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens our whole secondary. Uh, it's 383 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: very competitive, you know. I know Micah and um Jordan 384 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: are back. Raphael Bush has really done a heck of 385 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 1: a job, made a great pick, you know, one of 386 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 1: the days in one of our red zone periods. But um, 387 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a battle. And even the guys behind them, Uh, 388 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: sirand Neil who would drafted Dean Marlowe and the mccraie 389 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: um are all uh in a heated battle. And again 390 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: we're getting them ready for the test. The real test 391 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 1: will start when we get in these games. You know, 392 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: these again, these unfamiliar opponents. A week into camping about 393 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: a little bit less than two weeks ago back in Rochester, 394 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: do you ever when you're walking around down there, do 395 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 1: you ever think yourself, that's why we're here, you know, 396 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: because people say you can do everything there on your 397 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: own site and what only two teams do it at 398 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: home now and don't go off, But what do you 399 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: see when you're making your way around Saint John Fisher 400 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: that makes you think, I'm glad we're here. I'm glad 401 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: we're practicing down here. Yeah, you don't have that. Everybody 402 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: didn't have that rush when they get done with their 403 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: with their job, whether they're the trainer, the coach, the player, uh, 404 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,640 Speaker 1: one of one of my personnel staff, whoever, it's get 405 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 1: your job done and then bond. I know, we have 406 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,479 Speaker 1: a little room up near my dorm room that's just 407 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: a little hangout area and a lot of the scouts 408 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: come in there at night and we just you know, 409 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: sit there and bust chops and get to know each 410 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 1: other better. And you know, we've played basketball a few nights, 411 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 1: and I know other groups. I've seen some of the 412 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: equipment guys and various groups staying around. You. You know, 413 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: you you have to be there. There's nothing you have 414 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,360 Speaker 1: to do at home, and so it just it's kind 415 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: of forced bonding to get to know each other so 416 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: that I know I can count on the guy next 417 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: to me, whether it's a unemployee, a player and again 418 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: you see it in the calfs or in or in 419 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: the player's dorm. Uh. Some of the guys just hanging 420 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: out playing video games together or you know, talking or 421 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: you know, there's ping pong table. There's a lot of 422 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: different things that guys can that it's fun things for 423 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: guys to do that they can also bond at the 424 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: same time. And one more question for you. This is 425 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: a question we put to our audience today. I don't 426 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 1: know if you want to answer this. If you could 427 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: pick three things that you would watch most intently tonight 428 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: at tonight's practice, what would you watch? What are you 429 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 1: gonna focus on? Do you think you know? Um, I 430 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: don't know. I focus on a lot, so be hard 431 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 1: to narrow down to three. But I know the coaches 432 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: are going to try and do some things and they'll 433 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: be trying to watch the play clock. So you know, 434 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: this is Brian day, boss. You know, first time as 435 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: an oc here in Buffalo, and we got the quarterback battle, 436 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: We got the centers, so are they able to get 437 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: the plays in? Give the quarterbacks time to see what 438 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: the defense is, make a check. It'll be their first 439 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: chance to know a dry run too, because at practice, 440 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: you can turn around, you can say all right this, 441 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,360 Speaker 1: or you can take more than than what the clock 442 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 1: would be to get it done. They try to do it, 443 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: but um, you know, again, we're looking at a lot 444 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: of battles on defense and special teams will work on 445 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,199 Speaker 1: the kickoff stuff, which that's starting. People are starting to 446 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: realize that that is going to be a different play. 447 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: And I saw it a little bit last night in 448 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 1: the Baltimore game, and and we're you know, I think 449 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 1: Danny Croftsman's really anxious about it, rightly so, because you're 450 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 1: looking for any way to get an advantage and make 451 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: sure you don't get fooled on something somebody's got planned 452 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: for you. It's my last question. And at this time 453 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: of year, not only the Bills are in all thirty 454 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: two teams. You kind of get inundated with all the 455 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: coverage of all the camps all the way around, which 456 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: means leads you to all the guys that are out 457 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: there that aren't on teams, like you know, the Dez 458 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: Bryants and brand Lapel was released, and then you see 459 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: guys like Khalil Mack who are and everybody in Buffalo 460 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: wants you to trade, right now for Khalil, you know 461 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Yeah, right, how and for me, I 462 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: would think it's pretty unlikely. Maybe you'll tell me different 463 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 1: that that you're gonna make any moves right now because 464 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: you got the eighty five guys or seventy five guys 465 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: you want here, But there are some guys out there 466 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: who you got to think about. I mean, how likely 467 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: is that stuff to happen at this point when you 468 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: know you're coaching staff. Those guys are in like neck 469 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: deep into these guys, but you're not. You can't be. 470 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: You gotta keep your eyes out around. Yeah, well, how 471 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: likely is stuff like that to happen? And we haven't 472 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 1: seen anybody else sign anybody either. Yeah, it's you're constantly moderning, 473 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: you're constoutly talking to agents, and we're constantly tracking. Any 474 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: time a guy gets released, we have a guy grade 475 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,479 Speaker 1: him right there, One of our scouts grades him, and 476 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 1: it's emailed to me Joe Dan and Malik Boyd, and 477 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 1: I get it right on my phone if there or email, 478 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: and if he pops a certain grade, we go all right. 479 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 1: Now one of us may watch him and see if 480 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 1: we agree and if so, is this an upgrade for 481 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: for us, you know, and we're always trying to turn 482 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: the bottom of the roster. So sometimes we may want 483 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: to bring a guy in, but he wants to wait 484 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 1: and see his opportunity. He feels like he doesn't have. 485 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: He looks at the agents, They look at our roster, 486 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: they look at our depth chart. So sometimes there's a 487 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: clamoring for us to bring a guy in and maybe 488 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: we agree, maybe we're trying, but the agent's going, you 489 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: know what, I really don't like that situation for my guy. 490 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 1: I'm not sure he's gonna make it there. I'd rather 491 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 1: wait for an injury somewhere else. And sometimes they'll even say, hey, 492 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 1: let's let it play for another week or two and 493 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: see if anything else shakes.
