Speaker 1: it up by labor. And they do they play nine innings?

153
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: Or they do they play do they? Yeah, it's baseball

154
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: playing hardball because they don't like, you know, they play

155
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: the seven inning game when their kids or six inning games.

156
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: These are professional baseball players, I guess, so getting their

157
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: career started it was fun to cease. Fun to who

158
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: they play Hunting Valley, which is don't watch down Ohio Hunting. Yeah,

159
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: I think that's how you say Mahonehunting Gunstown, Ohio. Mahoney,

160
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: good crowd. Uh, yeah, it was nice. It was just

161
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: such a great laid back. It was a beautiful night

162
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: laid back Atmosphic. This the weather these days and get

163
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,679
Speaker 1: into late summer. Another reason, why why are we rushing

164
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:22,239
Speaker 1: to go to uh discuss Carolina? Ninety five degrees there today?

165
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: I mean the people who work there are complained, the

166
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: people who work for the Panthers complaining about how hot

167
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, let's dive in, let's go anyway. I

168
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: had a good weekend too, got a lot of work

169
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: done for the game Friday. I figured we're gonna be

170
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: busy covering these practices and moving around Carolina. So I

171
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: got my boards done for both the all the Bills

172
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: boards done, but for the Carolina Panthers. There an interesting team.

173
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: We were busy this weekend, so were the Bills. Yeah,

174
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: it condown. Let's go through some of the moves today

175
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: and maybe we can get in depth on this. By

176
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: the way, Oh, let's let's do this first Twitter poll.

177

193
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 1: five fifty, and let's talk about it. Which Bills player

194
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: do you want to see more of this prison? Yes,

195
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: Friday night, but even more of down the road. On

196
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll right now, forty five percent of you

197
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: say you want to see more of the running back

198
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary. He had very good moments in Thursday's preseason opener.

199
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: Thirty one percent of you say you want to see

200
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: Christian Wade. Obviously that makes sense. People saw the one

201
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: touch he had when sixty five yards were a touchdown,

202
00:09:55,200 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: an amazing moment in preseason Christian Wade touchdown percent say

203
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: you want to see more of a Daryl Johnson who

204
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: was the seventh round pick from North Carolina A and T.

205
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: Daryl Johnson had had a sack and had a couple

206
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: of other plays, and I think made an impression on people.

207
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: And maybe we're forgetting somebody. I know we are. There

208
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: might be somebody else you want to see Cam Phillips

209
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: and I see more of him doesn't have to be

210
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: a rookie. Which Bills player do you want to see

211
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: more of this preseason? Let's hear from you eight fifty

212
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: and toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two?

213
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: Did you vote? I have not voted. Who'd vot? Vote?

214
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: I vote? I retweet it, you know, for the show,

215
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: and I put it back after. And Daryl Johnson, I mean,

216
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: I've I see Devin Singletary a lot. He carries the ball.

217
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 1: I've you know, I watched that. Daryl Johnson's a guy

218
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: I want to see in live action. Seventh rounder. He's

219
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: got long length. We talked about him on Friday. He's

220
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: a real tall dude, got a long reach, and he

221
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: had a splashy day for a guy who not too

222
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: many not too much has been said about I think

223
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: he's kind of an afterthought, particularly given the depth at

224
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 1: the defension. At the defensive line, with all the rotation

225
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: they've seen with they seem to be too deep. It's

226
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: a it's a deep defensive roster. It's games like this

227
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: last Thursday that you kind of have to say, hey,

228
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: this guy can play. We gotta keep him around. Darryl Johnson,

229
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: he has another couple of games like that, they're gonna

230
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: have to either activate him on the active roster because

231
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: as soon as they release him or put him on

232
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: the practice squad, he's gone. The Colts will pick him up,

233
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: you know, or the Carolina Panthers will pick him up.

234
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he played that well the other night and

235
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: I and he's got a big pro type body, too, big,

236
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: long guy. I was impressed with him. And we haven't

237
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: seen too much of him because there's just no room

238
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: at that spot on the bills. Let us know what

239
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: you think. Phone lines open eight o three five fifty

240
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,800

241

252
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: some thoughts on the Bills as well. All right, now,

253
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 1: Transaction Wire, if you it's funny you get to the

254
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: weekend and like, take a break, don't have to worry

255
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: about Bills news. No, they made news. And before we

256
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: even left the building here Friday, Friday afternoon, after mcdermot's

257
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: press conference, they made a trade. They sent defensive end

258
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: Eli Harold to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for Ryan Bates.

259
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: That happened on Friday afternoon. Saturday. We're gonna throw all

260
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: these new players in a minute. Here, Saturday, three signings.

261
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: On Saturday, they signed veteran cornerback Captain Munterland. They signed

262
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 1: defensive tackle Roderick Young, and they signed offensive linemen Demetrius Rainey.

263
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: They released offensive lineman Nico Saragosa, and they put a

264
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: couple of players on injured reserve, cornerback EJ. Gaines and

265
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: defensive tackle Robert Thompson both to I R. And then

266
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: yesterday you think it's over, No, the Bill's released guard

267
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: Lad Ducas and the Bills signed the defensive end Samacho.

268
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: So they were busy. I wonder what prompted it all

269
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: that activity. I mean there were injuries right the uh

270
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: the roer, the EJ. Gaines injury prompted them to go

271
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: out and get Captain Munland. Obviously, I think the concussion

272
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: suffered by Connor McDermott made them think, we need another

273
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: we need depth at the offensive tackle spot, so they

274
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: went out got Ryan Bates. But man, that's four moves,

275
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 1: four editions, four subtractions from the roster in a three

276
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: day span. That's a lot. Yeah, Demetrius rain he's also

277
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman. I don't know whether he's a guard,

278
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 1: tackle or tackle guard. But that's it's a lot of

279
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: names and a lot of movement. And I think as

280
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: the season gets rolled and we've seen the I know

281
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: this the name, all the names on that list that

282
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: you're looking at there with all the way from Ryan Bates,

283
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: Eli Harold, Captain Roderick Young, all those guys are down

284
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the rotation, and this club continually

285
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: churns that part of the roster to try and upgrade.

286
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 1: And the reason they do that is this. If they

287
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: feel like they can upgrade athletically and get a chance

288
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: to get their hands on these guys and maybe develop them,

289
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: they get that much better. So that's really the thought process.

290
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: If they get guys like like vad du Cos, they

291
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: know him, Nico Saraguza, he's been here for a week

292
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: or two. If they don't see strides early on with

293
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: these guys, there's no reason not to just change him

294
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: out for another guy. Maybe they'll get a guy who

295
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: is a better athletically, or takes to the coaching better,

296
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: or starts to jump in and as a better fit

297
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: in some way, shape or formim than one of those guys. Hey,

298
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: they got to change them out. They're not really looking

299
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: for lad at this point, they found out they weren't

300
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: really looking for a guy like Vlad du coss ej

301
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: Gaines wasn't gonna help him. He's going on ir They

302
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: traded defensive end Eli Harold for much for the same

303
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: reason I said I wanted to look at at at

304
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: the defensive end that we were looking in the Twitter poll.

305
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, Darryl Johnson, all this stuff's gonna be churned

306
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the roster because they're trying to

307
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: get better incrementally at the bottom, and then theoretically that

308
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: trickles upward to the top because you get better and

309
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: better guys backing these guys up and the competition becomes

310
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: stiffer and you win more games. That's all there is

311
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: to it. Even with these moves over this last weekend,

312
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: first weekend into after the first preseason game, they're still

313
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: they're not going to stop. And that's and that's not

314
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: that's not unusual in the NFL. The Bills do it,

315
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: and so do every other team. That's just the way,

316
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: that's the way the land lays here these days, those

317
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: are very active though. Let's go through on Friday, trading

318
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: away Eli Harold to the Philadelphia Eagles for rookie offensive

319
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: lineman Ryan Bates. He's six four, three hundred two pounds

320
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: a rookie. He's a native of Warmester, Pennsylvania, and he

321
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: played colleague football the penn State. Signed as an undrafted

322
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: free agent with the Eagles this offseason and he was

323
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: there for a couple of weeks in training camp, and

324
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: the Bills when out and got him. Ryan Bates comes

325
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: onto the Bills number seventy one, expected to line up

326
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: at tackle. With the injuries suffered by Connor McDermott, they

327
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: probably need a little help there. They have in Seci

328
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: at tackle. They have Dion Dawkins at tackle, Cody Ford

329
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: camp play tackle, although he's been playing mostly guard lately.

330
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: They have Jeron Jones just added last week. DeAndre Wesley

331
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: has been around for a while, Garrett McGinn and Connor

332
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: McDermott who's injured, and Ryan Bates added to the mix.

333
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: He was the Big Ten Player All third or third

334
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: team All Big Ten honors after the twenty eighteen season.

335
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: Fits the profile right, long arms, big guy, six four,

336
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: three hundred two pounds, Ryan Bates. We'll see what he's got, yeah,

337
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna get a chance. I mean he's gonna have

338
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: to pick it up. I mean he's been in training

339
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: camp with the Philadelphia Eagles, so he should be in

340
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: shape to play football. Either the Philadelphia Eagles head were

341
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: down on him or ready to change him out just

342
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: like I said with the Bill and changing with Eli Harold,

343
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: or he was lost in a deep team who's got it,

344
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: who have a lot of offensive lineman on either way

345
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: shape or for him, he's going to get a chance

346
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,239
Speaker 1: to give it a shot with the Bills. You can

347
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: bet too. He's gonna get some reps this week against

348
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 1: Carolina and also in the game. Now here's maybe the

349
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: most interesting move, just because he's a familiar name, not

350
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: a household name, but a familiar name Captain Munterland. So EJ.

351
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: Gaines goes to injury reserve unknown yet and I don't

352
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: think they have to determine yet whether it's unrecallable ir

353
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: yet they don't have to make that call. But EJ. Gaines,

354
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: who was in the mix anyway for some playing time

355
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: at least a backup at the cornerback spot, he goes

356
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: to injury reserve with his groin injury suffered last week

357
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: in training camp and thirty one year old captain Munterland

358
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: signed by the Buffalo Bills in his eleventh year. Native

359
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: of Mobile, Alabama, played at South Carolina. Signed by the

360
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: Bills on Saturday. Last two seasons with Carolina. Came into

361
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 1: the league as the seventh round pick of the Panthers

362
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: in two thousand and nine. Played there for five years,

363
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: next three years in Minnesota, return to Carolina. Yes, he

364
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: played for Sean McDermott at Carolina, and yes, Brandon Bean

365
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: very familiar with the captain Munel one hundred and fifty

366
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: four career games, eighty five starts, twelve interceptions in his career,

367
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 1: ten and a half sacks. I always like this guy.

368
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: Steve undersized five nine pounds, but I always liked him,

369
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: and I like his cholarship of the quality of leadership.

370
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: I think he's been a good leader in his career.

371
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: Well that we've seen it, and some people say we've

372
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: seen it too much too. You know, it's the Carolina Panthers,

373
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: North Buffalo Bills are But Sean McDermott knows guys. He

374
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: wants guys to come in and give them a chance.

375
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: Who guys who know the system very well, who have

376
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: had a chance to, you know, to hear the checks

377
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: and calls in games. Guys he knows, and coaches always

378
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: gravitate to the guys that they know that they can

379
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: trust at least maybe they're not the best guy, but

380
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: at least they know exactly what they're going to get,

381
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: so they can know what they can ask them to

382
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: do and what not to do. And anytime you can

383
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 1: get about guys, that's what coaches, That's why coaches gravitate

384
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: to those guys. They bring those guys in. You've coached

385
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,719
Speaker 1: him before, you know what he is. Bring him in.

386
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,959
Speaker 1: Certainly it says something about the way Munderland played for

387
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: McDermott in the past, but I think it also says

388
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: as much about at this point of the season, it

389
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: won't take Munderland long to get up to speed and

390
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: they'll be able to give him some reps and watching

391
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: come in and do some reps ahead of particularly young guys.

392
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 1: To see a guy come in off whatever and come

393
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: in and start doing the defense right right away, that

394
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: sends a message, a strong message across the locker room.

395
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: Sean McDermot talked about let me he knows Captain Munderlin

396
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: from their time in Carolina, and he talked to Hi

397
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: about him. Munderland was a practice yesterday were the bills

398
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,719
Speaker 1: after being acquired on Saturday, and McDermot had some thoughts,

399
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: some early thoughts on the acquisition of Captain Munderland. It's

400
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: been a few years now since the last time we

401
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: worked together, but what I remember was the competitiveness, the toughness.

402
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 1: He's He's obviously played in the system before. UM so

403
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 1: he has some familiarity with our system. Um, both inside

404
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: the slot and out of corner. Um So, UM, you know,

405
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: we'll see how he how he does and how he

406
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: progresses here. He's been out of it for a little bit,

407
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: so UM, you know, he's got to play himself back

408
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: into shape. Her outside we'll see. I mean, that's that's

409
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: where um he's played, probably more so over the course

410
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: of the last four or five years. UM. Um. Again,

411
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: we just want to get him acclimated into what we

412
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: do and and his new surroundings, new teammates, and we'll

413
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: take it one day at a time. I couldn't not

414
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: hear that question, but UM, I don't know what did

415
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: he did? He say he's gonna be an outside corner

416
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: or a nickel, because Sean's answer was, we'll see that's

417
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: where he's probably played more so, I don't know, you

418
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: know you've been an outside guy or a nickel. I

419
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know, I don't know. He goes

420
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: to a crowded field of cornerbacks on the roster's even

421
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: and I think I fairly talented one when you look

422
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: at it, right Tredabus White, Lee by Wallace, starters on

423
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 1: the outside. Terren Johnson, who did not play last Thursday night,

424
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 1: would be the starting nickel right now. Sirrand Neil trat

425
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: Pick a year ago, played safety a year ago, kind

426
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: of factors into a depth guy at the nickel corner.

427
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: Maybe that's what Captain Munderlin they have in mind for him.

428
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: They also have some other corners, Kevin Johnson right from

429
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,719
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. First rounder Cam Lewis's done a good

430
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: job in kid Lafia Pitts, who I thought I played

431
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 1: pretty well Thursday night, Denzel Rice, Ryan Lewis. There's some

432
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: talent there. And how many corners do you keep? You're

433
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: gonna keep White, Wallace, Johnson and Johnson, probably Munnerlin. That's five.

434
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: And what are we looking at there's ten guys. There's

435
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 1: ten guys on the roster right now, and it was

436
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: a heated battle coming into the game. Right now. You

437
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: throw a guy with some experience in like Captain Munnerlin,

438
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: and one thing that he's gonna be able to do

439
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: what you think is a guy's not gonna make mistakes.

440
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: And you get a young guy, a guy like Sirrand Neil,

441
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: who was played a lot this last week going going

442
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,959
Speaker 1: into the game against the like Lafiel Pits or Denzel

443
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: Rice or Ryan Lewis. One of those guys further down,

444
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna have to play mistake free and

445
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: play well athletically to make a splash in a I mean,

446
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: let's we've been talking about how good this defensive secondary is.

447
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: It ain't getting worse, you know, Yeah, I mean better, Yeah,

448
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: it's getting better. I mean again, he's admitting camp with anybody.

449
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: So that's what McDermot meant when he talked about getting

450
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: him up to speed. But eleven year veteran, a guy

451
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 1: knows what he's doing, he knows his defense. I think

452
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 1: this tradition, I think it's an upgrade absolutely, particularly knowledge

453
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: wise and experienced guys got one hundred and fifty games

454
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: in the NFL, all right, so I always got that.

455
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 1: Also on Saturday, defensive tackle added to the roster of

456
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: the Bills, put Robert Thomason injury reserve, and added another rookie,

457
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: Roderick Young, a rookie from North Texas. The native of Texas,

458
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: he is six one, three hundred and seven pound interior

459
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: defensive linement. He went to minicamp with the Jaguars this spring,

460
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: began his career is an undrafted free agent with the

461
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: Jaguars and then went on their reserve injured list at

462
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 1: North Texas. Forty eight career games, forty starts, six and

463
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 1: a half sacks. You know, looks the size, looks the

464
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: part right, six one three oh seven Roderick Young. He

465
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: goes into a defensive tackle group that has obviously At

466
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: Oliver and Starlotulala, Jordan Phillips, Harrison Phillips, Kyle Peco lt Walton,

467
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: and now Roderick Young is in that mix, one of

468
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: seven defensive tackles. So we'll see, probably got an uphill

469
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: climb to get locked on a spot on the fifty three.

470
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 1: Roderick Young agrees to terms and the Bills signed an

471
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: offensive I'm a Demetrius Rainey gotta be a tackle, right, Yeah,

472
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: he's listed as a tackle, is he No, let's say

473
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: as an inside guy. I don't know if that's right.

474
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: Six two, three hundred five pounds. In his third year,

475
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 1: Demetrius Rainey, I'm gonna wear a number fifty nine for

476
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: the Bills. Native of Florida, Fort Lauderdale, played at Tennessee State.

477
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: He played for the Hamilton Tiger Cats in the CFL

478
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: most recently. Came into the league a couple of years ago,

479
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen. He's in third year. He was the seventh

480
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: round pick of the Rams. It's been a couple of

481
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: years with the Rams, a couple of a little bit

482
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 1: with the Jaguars, a little bit with Washington. Sixteen games

483
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: with the Rams. Started one game at left guards. Oh yeah,

484
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: he's an interior guy. Demetrius Rainey, number fifty nine is

485
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: now a Buffalo Bill and his third year in the league. Yeah,

486
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: he's bounced around a little bit, no question about it.

487
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: But he's got a little bit of experience and probably

488
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: on a really good offense last year with the Rams, right,

489
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, that's where he was, and so they

490
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,239
Speaker 1: continue to turn that roster and guys are coming in

491
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: and it'll be I think that's you got a feel

492
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: for a coaching staff who you don't want to let

493
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: guys slip through the crack because you never know who's

494
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: going to turn into a really good player with you.

495
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: But by the same token, you've got guys who have

496
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: been here for a couple of weeks and they're way

497
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: down the road and installation and technique and what you

498
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: expect of him and how the meetings work and all that,

499
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: and you got these guys that parachute in. The coaches

500
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 1: are trying to give him a hand reach back and

501
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 1: trying to give him a hand to catch up a

502
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: little bit, but man, their plates full, So it's really

503
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: up to the player. And I think as much as

504
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: the getting acclimated to the team is part of the problem,

505
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: it's also part of the test. You know, how smart

506
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: are you? Can you pick up pick it up fast

507
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: enough to contribute in a big way early on. That's

508
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: part of the weeding out process because every so often

509
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: you'll get a guy that all of sudden things click

510
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: click for him, and even though he's only been there

511
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: a few days, all of a sudden he starts to

512
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: compete and it's like, okay, now you've got you know what.

513
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: He's definitely on the practice squad. And then later in

514
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: the year he gets an opportunity and all of a sudden,

515
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: the guy is a fixture for the second half of

516
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: the season and going into next year. So that's how

517
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 1: guys get started in the career. Sometimes it's not always

518
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: it's rare, but it does happen. You don't want to

519
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: miss one of those guys. And then one a couple

520
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: moves yesterday for the Bills. Look, the writing was on

521
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: the wall right for lad Dukassa and his third year

522
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: with the Bills. He was repping with mostly third teamers

523
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: throughout camping in the game on Thursday night. Lad Dukassa

524
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: started twenty one games for the Bills over the last

525
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: two years. You know, he had a connection to the

526
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: former offensive line coach Windcastio Duca. It's a second round

527
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: pick of the Jets in twenty ten, so he's been around.

528
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: He was in his tenth year six five three, twenty nine,

529
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: released by the Bills. Like I said, the running was

530
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: on the wall right. Lad Duke Costs last year started

531
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: nine games for the bills played in a total of ten.

532
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: I think this is if you're here for a while,

533
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: like vlad dukost was three years, that's a long time.

534
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: But if you're here for a while or a year

535
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: or a season, and you come back in and you're

536
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: still not moving up, you're a candidate to be on

537
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: this transaction list. And we've been reading today. Yeah, some

538
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: weekend they're gonna make three or four transactions. You're gonna

539
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: be on that list, whether you're going to another team

540
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: or you're whether you're just gonna be out on the street.

541
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 1: You've got to keep improving. You've got to keep pursuing

542
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: the best possible play that you can, and they've got

543
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: to see the effort and they've got to see the

544
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: results of it. If they don't, they're gonna find somebody else.

545
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: That's just that's the harsh reality of it. And we

546
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: see it. You know, it's always a cliche. It's like, hey,

547
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 1: it's a tough league, it's a business first, all of

548
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: that stuff said. But at the bottom of this roster,

549
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: you're seeing the cold, hard realities of it, and they're

550
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: they're keeping on keeping on, and you better keep up. Ducasse,

551
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: age thirty one is gone, but they added a guy

552
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: almost his age. Thirty year old Sam Acho, a defensive end,

553
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: joins the Bills yesterday. Six three, two hundred and fifty

554
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: nine pounder in his ninth year in the league. Signed

555
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: by the Bills yesterday. Eight seasons with the Arizona Cardinals

556
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: fifty seven starts. He had ten or seventeen sacks in

557
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 1: those eight seasons. He came into the league. He spent

558
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: the last four years with Chicago. Came into the league

559
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 1: in twenty eleven as a fourth round pick of the

560
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. First four years in Arizona, last four years

561
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: with Chicago Bears, and now he's a Buffalo Bill. Number

562
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: seventy four. Sam Acho joins the Buffalo Bills defensive end.

563
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: It doesn't appear that they have, you know, any wide

564
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: open roster spots there. Trent Murphy, Jerry Hughes, Shack Lawson.

565
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: I think Mike Glove is a favorite of the group here.

566
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 1: Darold Johnson. We talked about Eddie Yarbro, you know, has

567
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 1: to hustle. I would think sam Acho would be number

568
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: seven on the defensive end spot. What do you think

569
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 1: of that? I like Sam Macho. I've covered him a

570
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 1: couple of times when he was with other teams, no question,

571
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: but I think he brings a lot of experience. I mean,

572
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: nine year guy, he's a guy that they is another

573
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: one of those guys I think at the bottom of

574
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: this roster. One of the things that it's an old philosophy.

575
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 1: And I don't know whether they're subscribing to this philosophy wholeheartedly,

576
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: but a lot of old time executives used to have

577
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: this thing. Listen, if the guy's not gonna play a

578
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: regular down and distance a lot, you need to have

579
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: veterans back there, because then when they do get plugged in,

580
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: their experience and their ball instincts about just being a

581
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: player will take over. And even if they haven't been playing,

582
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: they're not gonna be it's not gonna be too big

583
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: for them. It's not gonna be a moment where they're

584
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: not ready, and they can get ready to play a

585
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: lot faster and up to speed with a game plan

586
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: a lot faster than a young player and an inexperienced player,

587
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: even if the inexperienced player is more athletic at a

588
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: young age. You want the veteran guys back in. These

589
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: guys up at deep in the roster. That's one of

590
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: the old philosophies that he used to have about Correc

591
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: just the third quarterback. If you're gonna keep three, the

592
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: third quarterback's gotta be like thirty six years old, and

593
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: he's got to have been around four or five, six

594
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: eight different team. It's like Ryan Fitzpatrick. You need him

595
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: for your third guys. If he comes in, he'll get

596
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: the protection set right, and he'll take him like three

597
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: days to get the game plan under his belt. He

598
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: can come in and give you a game. You know.

599
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: That's what you need for those guys. It's not the

600
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: same thing for defensive end like Sam Macho, but it's

601
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: a little in there. I think the experience is really

602
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: what's attractive. I think for the Bills. Four new Buffalo

603
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: Bills over the weekend Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. A couple

604
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: of older players Captain Munlin and Sam Macho, and a

605
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,880

Speaker 1: Health from One Bill's Drive. This is Buffalo Bills Radio.

619
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: Welcome One Bill's Live, John Murphy's team tasker in our

620
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: one Buffalo studio up at down in over in Orchard Park,

621
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: New York. Here today tomorrow will be in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

622
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: The temperatures we're gonna be in the mid nineties, gonna

623
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: be hot. This note a couple of notes really from

624
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers, the Bills practice partners for the next

625
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: couple of days, Tuesday and Wednesday. Let me find it.

626
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: The Panthers, Cam Newton, their quarterback, not practicing today. They've

627
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: got a regular practice down there today. He will probably

628
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: according to the Panthers be full go for two days

629
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: of joint practices with the Bills. A defensive end command

630
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: short is back out he practice Sunday, I took a

631
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: shot to the shin tight end. Greg Olsen is hosting

632
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: his eight year old baseball team that just fell short

633
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: of the World Series. But this is interesting. Ron Rivera,

634
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: after practice at a Panther's head coach, basically said, if

635
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: anyone fights tomorrow during the joint practices with the Bills,

636
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: I'm throwing them out of practice because that's bleep. The

637
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: only reason the guy fights is when he's frustrated he's

638
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: getting beat. To do anything other than practice and get

639
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: better would be a mistake. There's a warning. There's a

640
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: warning fired off to the Panthers. Don't fight or you

641
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: get thrown out of practice. Think it matters, no, But

642
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I'd start throwing punches and stretch

643
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: and go right in and sit in the air conditioning. Right.

644
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: You gotta pick your guy. You pick one of the

645
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: trainers or something somebody wouldn't do, wouldn't really beat you

646
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: up real bad. Right now, a kicker might give me

647
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: a tussle. It's got to be one of the trainers

648
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: or somebody who you can either out run or outfight,

649
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: and then just right and stretch before you even break

650
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: a sweat, get off the field. Also from the Panthers.

651
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: No live periods, practice periods between the Panthers and the Bills,

652
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: but players will be in full pads. Rivera says he's

653
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: been doing some psychological warfare against the Bill staff. He's

654
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: got a ton of connections here. He's sending them the

655
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,719
Speaker 1: heat index reading each day. Yeah, and the heat index

656
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: is over one hundred, I believe each day. Right, Yeah, Yeah,

657
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: that's well, I think well over. Yeah, back to Wofford

658
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: College for Brandon Bean for Sean McDermott, where he coached.

659
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: Wofford has been the long time training camp practice site

660
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: for the Carolina Panthers, and McDermott was asked yesterday what's

661
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: it going to be like to be going back to

662
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: Wofford and to be on those fields on the other

663
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: side of the training camp practice field. Here's what he said.

664
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: It'll be nice, um and a great opportunity to see

665
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: some old friends and um a place that helped me

666
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: in so many ways, with great people, great organization. Um.

667
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: You know, Wafford's a you know a neat Camp is

668
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: very similar to Saint John Fisher in terms of the

669
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: pride that they take and what they do down there. So, um,

Speaker 1: you know that's said. We've got work to do and

Speaker 1: that's why we're going down there, and it'll be a

672
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: I'm interested to watch. I'm excited to watch our team

00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: Edric walcome to the show. Hey, guys, Zoie man, thanks

720
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: for having me on. Hey, footballs around the corner, guys.

721
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I can't wait. I can smell it, I

722
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,959
Speaker 1: can taste that, I can feel it, and I'm really

723
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: looking forward to this season. But what I want to

724
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: see going forward in the preseason is I want to

725
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: keep seeing that combination of Cody Ford and in Ski.

726
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, man, those guys look smooth. It

727
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: looks good. And there's no doubt and Secki is one

728
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 1: of the best top five linemen on this team, so

729
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: for him not to be on the field would be

730
00:35:54,239 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: just an absolute travesty and honestly disservice by the coaching staff.

731
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 1: Uh Ford looked good at guard and Secky looked smooth,

732
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: he looked big. I mean, I loved it, man. Um,

733
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: it's such a welcome sight. Not seeing and I'm sorry,

734
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: but not seeing Jordan Mills on that right side is

735
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 1: is really a welcoming sight. Um. And um. Also just uh,

736
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: something I wanted, something kind I wanted to say, is

737
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: uh listening to Eric and and and you John uh

738
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 1: calling the shots on uh for the game. Eric's got

739
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: some big Suica Phil. I love Eric would, but Kelso

740
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: Kelso was my guy. Uh. I tell you what I

741
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,399
Speaker 1: used to love when when when you guys had him

742
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: on on Friday and you'd have to cut him off

743
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: because they good. Yeah, that's a lot. And Uh, listen,

744
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,399
Speaker 1: I'm gonna miss Kelso. I wish I wish Eric would

745
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:50,959
Speaker 1: nothing but the best, but he really is. Yep, all right, Edi, thanks,

746
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 1: I mentioned that there. We talked about that on the

747
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,720
Speaker 1: Earth last Thursday night and and Eric acknowlogies. Yeah, kel

748
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: and Kelso look and I said this on the Earth Thursday.

749
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: I learned a lot from Kelso over the three years,

750
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: and I think our listeners, Edric, maybe you fall into

751
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: this category as well, just learned a lot about football.

752
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, he was appreciated, and you're right, Eric, I

753
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 1: know he was good Thursday, and I know he's going

754
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: to be great, and I know he acknowledges that those

755
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 1: are big shoes to fill. I like Edric what you're

756
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: saying about ford And and Secky. I would love that

757
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: to be the right side of the offensive line, Forward

758
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 1: at guard and Secki at tackle, and for my money,

759
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: just let them go. Don't even experiment anymore. I see

760
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 1: what they were doing last week when they put the

761
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 1: Cody Ford in a little a couple of snaps at

762
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: right tackle. But I don't need to see that again.

763
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 1: I'm good with ford And and and Secky guard tackle, right side. Yeah,

764
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,720
Speaker 1: and I think one of the reasons there's no question

765
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: you're right, and Edric was right, They're gonna put the

766
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 1: best five guys out there. And if that means Insecki

767
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: a tackle and Ford to guard, that's what it's going

768
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: to be. And we've talked a lot about what they're

769
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 1: looking at, whether if the guy behind Ford at guard

770
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: is a better guard than Insecki is a tackle, and

771
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: we know Quody Ford could play tack. It's all all

772
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 1: that combination. But I'm with you at this point, they're

773
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: not gonna At this point, I think it's chiseled in Stone.

774
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be Morse, Ford and Insecki on

775
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: the right side, and on the left side it looks

776
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: like it's gonna be Quentin Spain and Dion Dawkins. The

777
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: three guys are behind them are a big question mark now,

778
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: and what which guys are gonna be the swing guys

779
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 1: inside and outside. That's a big question mark. And I'm

780
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: not saying that that the starting five or best five

781
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: doesn't change, but right now I'm kind of with you

782
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: Adric as well. And you know the thing about Eric

783
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: would and Kelso. Eric knows that he's smart enough than

784
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:39,760
Speaker 1: he and I have had conversations about it. He doesn't

785
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: have to be Mark Kelso. He's just got to be himself.

786
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: Kelso did the games his way, and Eric's got to

787
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 1: do the games his way, and people will like both

788
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 1: and dislike the other. There's there's just no way around that.

789
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,720
Speaker 1: Even if Eric would try to be like Mark Kelso,

790
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: there would be different you know, it would be different opinions.

791
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: But I think he's he knows this. Eric Wood's gonna

792
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: be himself elf in the booth. He's gonna do the

793
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:02,959
Speaker 1: games he likes to do the way, and he's gonna

794
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: try to be as interesting as he can be, and

795
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: he's going to do the best job he can. He

796
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 1: doesn't have to imitate anybody or be like this or

797
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: do this or that or the other. And that's one

798
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: of the things I enjoyed about that job when I

799
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 1: was doing it for the CBS. End of it was

800
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 1: every guy does the games differently and you got to

801
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 1: find your own voice. And I'm sure Eric would over

802
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: the course of he's going to be doing a lot

803
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: of games this year. He'll learn pretty quick what works

804
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: for him and what doesn't. I think we'll all enjoy it. Hey,

805
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: we're talking about which player do you want to see

806
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: more of this preseason? Let's take a look at the

807
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the

808
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 1: official movers of the Buffalo Bills. Who do you want

809
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: to see more of after one preseason game? Who are

810
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: you looking to see more of in the preseason this

811
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: Friday night and through the remaining other two games? What

812
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: are you got? On the tweets from Max, he says,

813
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 1: you've got to want to see a little more of Wade.

814
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: The man's averaging sixty five yards per carry. Huh. But now, now,

815
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: obviously that won't stand for long. But I'd like to

816
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: see a larger sample size throughout the next few games

817
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: and see what he's got. And I think all of

818
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: us would mag I mean, you're not unless he starts

819
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: carrying it for a touchdown every time he touches it. Well,

820
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: you know, look, but here's the thing, and I get it,

821
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 1: and I love the story and I love the run,

822
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: and as we talked last Friday, one of the great

823
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: moments in recent preseason memory. But where are you going

824
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: with that? Who's christ Whose roster spot? Could Christian Wade threaten? Anybody?

825
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: Maybe Devin Singletary keep, Yeah, there's three, he'd be the fourth.

826
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:34,760
Speaker 1: The fifth one would be somebody like DeMarco as a fullback.

827
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 1: I think I love the story and love the run,

828
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: and I enjoyed it immensely. I just don't know if

829
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: there's a future this year, and that I think the

830
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 1: best possible, well not the best, but the most likely

831
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 1: good outcome this year for Christian Wade is getting the reps,

832
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: getting the plane experience, learning more about football this summer

833
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: in the remaining three preseason games, and then sticking around

834
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: on the practice squad, which he is all set to

835
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: do for the the rest of this year, and learning

836
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: more and then we'll see where we are next year.

837
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: I think that's probably the likeliest good case scenario for

838
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: Christian Wade. Yeah, likely, but I'd still like to see

839
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: what he's got. And I think, um, if they're gonna

840
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:13,919
Speaker 1: do their jobs, they're gonna find out if he's ready

841
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: to play, which means he's gonna get some more reps

842
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: out there so he will see more of him. Um,

843
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: if that's what you're excited about doing, Okay, that's that's

844
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: great because there's a lot of guys I want to

845
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 1: see play. I mean all of this. I mean, you're

846
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: hungry for more football. Well, it's funny when we put

847
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:30,839
Speaker 1: this and you and I said it before he came

848
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: on the show, which player do you want to see

849
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: more of? This preseason? There's a lot. I mean we

850
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: put three on the Twitter poll. I got a list

851
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: of like twenty that we narrowed it down, right, we

852
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,879
Speaker 1: were jocking for who he really wanted to see. Darryl

853
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: Johnson's a guy I want to see because he splashy

854
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 1: the night. Christian Waite is an obvious choice. He had

855
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 1: one carry for sixty five yard touchdown. And then you

856
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: got you know, the rest of the guys on this

857
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: Twitter poll, and Devin single Chair. We're gonna see a

858
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: lot of him. I'm not worried about. I want to

859
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: see Tommy Sweeney. I want to see Dawson Knox. You know,

860
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: I want to see more of a Shan Joseph and

861
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 1: Jakwan Johnson, a couple of draft picks on defense. I

862
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: think we will see more of them. Yeah, but they're

863
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: like I said, I got about twenty twenty five guys

864
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 1: I want to see more of and Weed Friday, well, yeah,

865
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to see a whole lot of him.

866
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: I don't want him to, you know, play too much.

867
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: I want to see John Brown, I want to see

868
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley. I want to see these guys play a

869
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: little bit um. But yeah, I mean, you know that

870
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: that's how not how the preseason works. In the case

871
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 1: of those guys a breakcare. We're back with more One

Speaker 1: of this prison include this preseason, including Friday Night at Carolina.

887
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: Carolina is an interesting Steve team Steve an interesting Steve team.

888
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: They were, Um I looked at it today and I

889
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: could not believe it. They lost seven straight games. Last

890
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: year they were five and do I have this right? Yeah,

891
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 1: they were five and one and lost seven straight games.

892
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,439
Speaker 1: They went five and one and then one and nine

893
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 1: and finished. No, they finished with seven wins. So but

894
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 1: they lost seven straight games after the you know, after

895
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,959
Speaker 1: the first five weeks. That's crazy. Seven seven game losing.

896
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 1: Was hurt. Cam got hurt. He was still in the

897
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: game and if you watched him play, Cam couldn't throw it.

898
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: His shoulder was shot. He was injured. He was kept

899
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,280
Speaker 1: trying to play and he could not throw the football

900
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: down the field and crazy, and he kept playing while

901
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: he was kept playing, they did They finally shut him down, right,

902
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, last couple of weeks. Yeah, they got

903
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: a game or two and for Kyle Allen and Tyler

904
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: Heineke I think started one. They have a third rundret pick,

905
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: Will Greer from West Virginia. He played quarterback for them

906
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 1: last Thursday night in their preseason opener in Chicago. They

907
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 1: are an interesting team. I think Dj Moore had a

908
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: good year fifty six catches last year. Chris Hogan is

909
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: there now as a receiver. Obviously Christian McCaffrey. You know,

910
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: McCaffrey had one hundred receptions last year, one hundred and

911
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: think he had one hundred and six, one hundred and

912
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: four receptions. We've had running back, it's not we had

913
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: on our little true false. One day we were thinking,

914
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,240
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of people very high on Christian McCaffrey,

915
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 1: and for good reason. He's good running back and they

916
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 1: use him so much in the passing game as well.

917
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 1: This might be a year where we would see a

918
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,760
Speaker 1: guy rushed for a thousand and catch for a thousand.

919
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 1: It's a rare occurrence. He had a thousand and ninety

920
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: eight yards rushing last year and eight hundred sixty seven

921
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 1: yards receiving one hundred and seven catches, and this would be, yeah,

922
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: as to be a third year for him, it would

923
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:10,959
Speaker 1: be right, it's the third year, so he'd be coming

924
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,919
Speaker 1: into his own and with a healthy Cam Newton, that's

925
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: the That's kind of what's gonna happen with him. Is

926
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: Cam gonna start to spread it around and throw it

927
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: down the field more because last year, I mean, he

928
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: couldn't throw it any further than the running backs. You

929
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 1: know he was not going down the field for most

930
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:27,800
Speaker 1: of that season. That's why they were dropping all those games.

931
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: So I don't know if it means a healthy Cam

932
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: Newton means less opportunity for Christian McCaffrey or more. But

933
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 1: there are some people who are thinking he's it's in

934
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: his wheelhouse to maybe go a thousand, a thousand. We're

935
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: going to Carolina. We will cover the Bills, obviously, but

936
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: we will pay attention to I think they're an interesting team.

937
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,479
Speaker 1: Will pay attention to the Panthers. They have a second

938
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: round pick, Greg Little, offensive lineman, a tackle who was

939
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: likely to start. They moved up, traded up ten spots

940
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 1: in the second round to get him, just before the

941
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,919
Speaker 1: Bills got Cody Ford. Some people speculative, Oh, the Bills

942
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,359
Speaker 1: gonna are gonna get Greg Little. No, the Bills, if

943
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: you could see around embedded, they were all about Cody Ford.

944
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,720
Speaker 1: So the Panthers made that move up to get Greg Little,

945
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 1: probably thinking the Bills might take him. He's interesting and

946
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: their first round pick. Look, I only watched the one game.

947
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: They only played one game at Chicago last Thursday night.

948
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 1: But Brian Burns FSU he's outside linebacker defensive and he's

949
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: an edge guy. He is sensational. He had two sacks

950
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 1: and like ten plays. I want to say last Friday

951
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 1: night or last Thursday night in Chicago. He's he's the

952
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 1: real deal. Brian Burns number fifty three. He's going to

953
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: be a really good player. Hopefully he doesn't recavoc against

954
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: the Bills on Friday night. Really good player with their

955
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 1: first round pick. And it's gonna be fun to go

956
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 1: down there and see I get a different vibe. It's

957
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: always it's always a little bit. There's always a little

958
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: bit of hesitation when you go down you start practicing

959
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:46,479
Speaker 1: with other teams, it's like, oh, how do you guys

960
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: do this? How are we how's this gonna go? Who's

961
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 1: stepping into this drill? First? Where we go? We're you know,

962
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: for the visiting team, it's like, well, where do we

963
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: do our one on ones? Where it is now? Because

964
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: it's over here, let's go and you know, so you're

965
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 1: kind of following them around until you get going and

966
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: then you know the team periods are there's some real

967
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: tension there. I mean they're gonna they're not gonna go live,

968
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: but there's some tension there and nobody wants to be embarrassed,

969
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: and that's when you and that's simply why. I mean,

970
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,720
Speaker 1: Ron Rivere has already said, if anybody's fighting in these practices,

971
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: I'm throwing them out. Talking to his guys, you know

972
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen because they start getting ratcheted up and

973
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: the tension starts to rise, and one guy gets beat

974
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 1: and he gets beat bad, or the guy does something

975
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: illegal or he gets held or whatever, and he starts

976
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: to get mad, you know, Tempers flare and they do

977
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 1: it quick, and it's yeah, it's it's not like the

978
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: old days, but yeah, it's it's it's gonna get pretty chippy,

979
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 1: I'm sure. So it's I'm really anxious to see how

980
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: the atmosphere works. I'm really anxious to see how whether

981
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna be able to watch any of it, and

982
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: what they're set up is at Walford compared to what

983
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: it is at Saint John Fisher. That's all interesting stuff

984
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:57,399
Speaker 1: as well. We'll talk about that when we get down there.

985
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: How our set up is, how it is at Wofford

986
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 1: compared to on Fisher and their fan access all of

987
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:04,319
Speaker 1: that stuff. I want to see how they do it.

988
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: It's it's gonna be fun and an interesting trip. We'll

989
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: see tomorrow. We're gonna take a break. When we come back,

990
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,440

Speaker 1: NFL writer. We'll talk to him about the Bills and

Speaker 1: the rest of the NFL. Come on back, plus which

993
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 1: player do you want to see more of this preseason?

Speaker 1: We'll take your phone calls, We'll take your tweets, voting

995
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll. We'll do all that when we return.

996
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live presented presented by Kalida Health. From One

1004
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: He'll travel today, walk through later today, and then they

1005
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 1: hit the practice field tomorrow morning in Stemy, Spartanburg. They

1006
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 1: had a busy weekend of roster moves over the weekend.

1007
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 1: On Friday, they made a trade they sent defensive end

1008
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:16,480
Speaker 1: Eli Harrold to the Philadelphia Eagles for offensive lineman Brian Bates.

1009
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:18,760
Speaker 1: On Saturday, they put a couple of players on injured

1010
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,840
Speaker 1: reserve and released another one and signed three players veteran

1011
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 1: cornerback Captain Munterlind, offensive lineman Demetrius Rainey, and defensive tackle

1012
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 1: Roderick Young. And then yesterday they released veteran guard Bled

1013
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: Dukas and signed a defensive end Sam Acho. All those

1014
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 1: move made after one preseason game, four editions of the

1015
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo roster over the weekend. Getting set to practice against

1016
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 1: the Panthers, Carolina head coach Ron Rivera says, if anyone

1017
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 1: fights tomorrow during the Bills joint practice, he's going to

1018
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: throw him out of practice. He didn't like it. He says,

1019
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 1: that is not what they're there for. The reason the

1020
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: guy fights is when he's frustrated he's getting beat. So

1021
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera says, you fight against the Bills, you're thrown out.

1022
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 1: Cam Newton had today off at Panthers practice, so he

1023
00:49:57,640 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 1: is probably going to be full goal for two days

1024
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: of joint practices between the Bills and the Panthers starting tomorrow.

1025
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:07,839
Speaker 1: Around the NFL, Oakland Raiders, wide receiver Antonio Brown says

1026
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 1: he won't play until he can wear his home his

1027
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:13,280
Speaker 1: old helmet, which is now banned by the NFL. Patriots

1028
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 1: quarterback Tom Brady says it's been an adjustment for him

1029
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 1: to get used to a new helmet. His old helmet

1030
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,799
Speaker 1: was among those prohibited by the NFL this year. He

1031
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: says he understands the reason for the change, but he

1032
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 1: is struggling to adapt to it. Patriots made a roster move,

1033
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,760
Speaker 1: continuing to try to find the tight end. They shipped

1034
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 1: a conditional seventh round pick to Atlanta in exchange for

1035
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:37,399
Speaker 1: tight end Eric Sobert. The Falcons confirmed that trade. And

1036
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: then is the update from One Bill's Drive. John Murphy

1037
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker in our one Buffalo Studio One hour Down,

1038
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:44,839
Speaker 1: two to go, We're gonna talk a little bit about

1039
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,319
Speaker 1: Week one of the preseason and about the impressions made

1040
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:49,760
Speaker 1: by some of the rookies in week one of the preseason.

1041
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: On the Line with Us, the national NFL writer for

1042
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: Bleacher Report, contributed to the comeback. Happy to have Brad

1043
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 1: Ganuel on the line with us, Hello, Brad, John Murphy

1044
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,879
Speaker 1: and Steve Tasker up here in Buffalo, thank you for joining. Yeah, thanks,

1045
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 1: I mean, how you guys doing. We're doing well, you know.

1046
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: One of the impressions. And Steve and I talked about

1047
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 1: a Friday, the day after Buffalo's preseason opener, how it

1048
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 1: seemed like the Bill's entire draft class contributed and showed

1049
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 1: well in their win over the Colts. I wonder if

1050
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 1: that's a if you've got the same you've you've done

1051
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 1: a look at some of the rookie performances, and I

1052
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,399
Speaker 1: think the Bill's rookies, the draft pick showed up pretty

1053
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 1: well on Thursday night. Yeah. Well, obviously in particular, I

1054
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 1: mean that you get a strong performance from, you know,

1055
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:31,319
Speaker 1: a guy who, even though there's several running backs in

1056
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 1: that stable already who might have a chance to potentially

1057
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:37,839
Speaker 1: end up taking more of the carriers than any of them,

1058
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 1: and Devin Singletary, and so to see him performing the

1059
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 1: way he did right out of the gate is definitely

1060
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 1: probably very promising for Bills fans to see the performance

1061
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: that they got as well, obviously from from the number

1062
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: nine overall pick. You know, everyone looked strong right off

1063
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: the bat, and so you know, it's one game. You

1064
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:00,879
Speaker 1: don't want to read too deep into it. But when

1065
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 1: you use top picks on guys like this, when you

1066
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 1: use as a Day two pick on a running back nowadays,

1067
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: you're expecting an immediate result, and they got an immediate result.

1068
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:12,359
Speaker 1: You gave Singletary, You gave Singletary an a right brand.

1069
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 1: What did you see that you liked about Devin Singletary's performance, Well,

1070
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 1: the key, The key was Singletary is that, um, you know,

1071
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 1: not a lot of big, big losses, continuing to get

1072
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:26,839
Speaker 1: forward momentum. Um you know, ran it hard and and

1073
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 1: and hit the whole herd. And that's really what you

1074
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 1: want to see, I think, right out of the gate. Um,

1075
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 1: a guy who's not going to shy away from you know,

1076
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 1: the fact that he's going up a level essentially and

1077
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 1: in this case, going up a heck of a level.

1078
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 1: Um uh. And so yeah, to go from you know,

1079
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:43,359
Speaker 1: from Florida Atlantic to an NFL football game just like that,

1080
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 1: and to run it four times, catch a few passes, um,

1081
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:49,799
Speaker 1: you know, have that first half play which means you're

1082
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:53,360
Speaker 1: going up against um, you know, in many cases starters,

1083
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 1: in some cases at least guys who have a good

1084
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 1: chance to make rosters and to play significant roles. Um,

1085
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 1: it's it's all a really good sign. Sometimes you do

1086
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 1: see a great preseason performance and it's all fourth quarter stuff,

1087
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 1: and then you've got to wonder if you're reading into

1088
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 1: something that's a bit of a bit of fools gold.

1089
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: And in this case, obviously it looks as though, um,

1090
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:13,240
Speaker 1: you know, Singletary, we got we got a small sample,

1091
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 1: but enough of a sample to feel really strong made about.

1092
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: One of the things I want to ask you about

1093
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 1: was the top pick for the Bills at Oliver. He

1094
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 1: was playing out a position in college and this is

1095
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 1: our first chance to see him play the three technique,

1096
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 1: and he did it against a very good offensive line

1097
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 1: with the Indianapolis Colt It's a big, nasty offensive line

1098
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: that had a great year last year, and he kind

1099
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 1: of got thrown in their first day out of the

1100
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: box against maybe the best guys ever. How dead Oliver do? Yeah?

1101
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 1: I mean, like I said in my piece, it was

1102
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:44,839
Speaker 1: good to hear his name a lot. Sometimes an indicator, right,

1103
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,759
Speaker 1: I mean, you know the fact that he's active. I mean,

1104
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 1: sometimes you're hearing your name a lot, it's a bad sign.

1105
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 1: But usually when you're when you're a D lineman and

1106
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:55,280
Speaker 1: you're again you're going up against player like Quenton Nelson,

1107
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 1: and you're sort of always kind of there. You're active.

1108
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,279
Speaker 1: Active was the word I used to describe his performance.

1109
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 1: You know, he has he has some some progress still

1110
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: to make, Brandon being said he has a long way

1111
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:10,360
Speaker 1: to go just a month ago, and that's still the case.

1112
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: But to see him hold his own for the most

1113
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 1: part against the player like Quenton Nelson and against an

1114
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: offensive line that might be the best in all of football.

1115
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 1: You know during again that that key first half play

1116
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 1: when you're up against starters, you're up against in this

1117
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:26,879
Speaker 1: case in all prom and you're winning some battle, you're

1118
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 1: losing some battle, but it's a it's a a legitimate competition.

1119
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,319
Speaker 1: He wasn't manhandled, he wasn't dominated, and it certainly wasn't

1120
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 1: consistently dominated. And so, yeah, he looks so strong and

1121
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 1: he's only going to get stronger. He's relatively rossdale coming

1122
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 1: out of Houston, and so to have that start after

1123
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 1: really we've kind of been kind of downplaying all of

1124
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 1: the much of the offseason, thinking Okay, maybe it's going

1125
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 1: to take some time. His numbers didn't live up to

1126
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 1: his measurables in college in the first place. Maybe this

1127
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 1: is a guy who's you know, maybe a bigger impact

1128
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty beyond. Well, now you see the first

1129
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 1: performance again, you don't want to read too deeply, don't

1130
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 1: want to get too excited if you think maybe this

1131
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: guy can play a pretty big role in a rookie

1132
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 1: You know, Brad, When I went back and watch a

1133
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 1: game on video over the weekend and watch the for

1134
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 1: the most part, it was just one blocker, a single

1135
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 1: blocker assigned to Oliver. Yes, and it was a really

1136
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 1: good guard, Quentin Nelson. But I wonder, I wonder how

1137
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 1: many teams will get away with just one guy. I

1138
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: wonder how many teams will get away with not not

1139
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 1: double teaming at Oliver this season. Well, it's just again

1140
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 1: the size and the strength, and that's that's that's that

1141
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 1: Oliver's claim to fame, and that's that's going to be

1142
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:37,760
Speaker 1: the key is that I don't know if physically, despite

1143
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 1: the talent that you might have at the guard position

1144
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:43,400
Speaker 1: or the tackle position or the center position, you're necessarily

1145
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 1: going to have the actual raw size to handle him.

1146
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 1: And so that's going to be a big predicament for

1147
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:55,840
Speaker 1: offensive line coaches and offensive coaches in general going forward

1148
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,959
Speaker 1: and this season and beyond, and again that's that maybe

1149
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: the key is that maybe they thought they'd have some time.

1150
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 1: It's starting to look like he could play a role

1151
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:07,839
Speaker 1: and and make opposing coaches think about that matchup. Right

1152
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 1: off the bat, I wanted to ask you as well

1153
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:12,279
Speaker 1: about some other teams around the NFL. Was our first

1154
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 1: weekend of full slate of games in the in the NFL,

1155
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:16,799
Speaker 1: and I want to go right to the New York

1156
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:20,960
Speaker 1: Giants and Eli Manning and Daniel Jones. Daniel Jones came

1157
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 1: in and looked extremely productive. Can we make anything of that?

1158
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: I think we can. I mean again, it's all we

1159
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 1: all we have the kind of there's a bit of

1160
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 1: the grain of salt aspect to it. And that's the

1161
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: case with with you know, Oliver and single Parry, just

1162
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 1: as as the case with Daniel Jones and and Dwayne

1163
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 1: Haskins who struggled, I mean, you know, on the other

1164
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 1: end of the coin so um in Washington. So in

1165
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 1: the case of Jones, I think the problem is the

1166
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 1: stigma is with the pick. Right, there was so much

1167
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: criticism of the Giants picking him where they picked him,

1168
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:54,359
Speaker 1: but as he was always viewed, you know, pretty much

1169
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:58,319
Speaker 1: across the board as a first round caliber quarterback. And

1170
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 1: so I think the unfortunate stigma, as we've ripped the

1171
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 1: picks so much that the players kind of become tossed

1172
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 1: into that, then your Jones doesn't decesinarily deserve to be

1173
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:10,239
Speaker 1: ripped like that. Is a great candidate to potentially take

1174
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:12,359
Speaker 1: over that job early on, coming out of Duke, where

1175
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 1: he was well coached but solid numbers, looks relatively polished

1176
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 1: and pro ready, and he showed that five or five

1177
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 1: sixty seven yards, the nice scramble on one play, you know,

1178
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 1: a beautiful play action throw to Cody Latimer. The touchdown

1179
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 1: pass to Bennie Fowler was perfect. Again. You know, the

1180
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 1: sample is tiny, but you can't ask for anything more

1181
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:38,680
Speaker 1: than that in one drive. Now, I think the next

1182
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 1: step is to see if maybe against the Bears next

1183
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 1: Friday or in that big third preseason game, could the

1184
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 1: guy get the start. Maybe he deserves a chance to

1185
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 1: go up against the starting defense and actually handle those

1186
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 1: first couple series of the game and have Eli Manning

1187
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 1: come in next. The only issue with that, of course,

1188
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 1: is once you do that, you've tipped your hand. In

1189
00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 1: the New York media goes nuts because all of a sudden,

1190
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 1: elone Manning is not the number one spot. Hey, did

1191
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 1: you give a grade to Daniel Jones Bread, Yeah, I

1192
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 1: mean I had to do a plass. I mean, you

1193
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 1: could lead all five year passes for sixty seven. Again,

1194
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray Um didn't get an A plus. He gotta,

1195
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 1: I believe I give him an a year A name.

1196
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 1: He didn't play long enough to get and well, he

1197
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 1: played about as long as Daniel Jones was one full

1198
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:21,919
Speaker 1: series reach. But he didn't lead a touchdown drive first

1199
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 1: of all, and it's got a stilly were micro analyzing

1200
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 1: these specifics in the preseason, but you know he did

1201
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 1: first of all, he didn't bring them all the way

1202
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 1: to Jine what the difference was and Murray and Jones,

1203
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 1: And from my perspective was it was mainly, you know,

1204
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 1: it was mainly the easy stuff for for Murray only

1205
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: forty seven forty four yards on those seven past attempts

1206
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 1: that he had. Um he wasn't really asked to do

1207
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:46,200
Speaker 1: a whole lot, whereas again Jones that play action, throw

1208
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 1: a Laddimer and the touchdown passed to Fowler and they

1209
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 1: scramble on fourth down. Um, you combined it all, and

1210
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 1: that's I think the difference in terms of maybe getting

1211
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,400
Speaker 1: an A grade in an A plus grade. But again,

1212
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 1: the guy was asked to do. You know what he

1213
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:04,479
Speaker 1: was asked to do. Throw five passes, several of them

1214
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 1: very difficult, and he completed all of them, and so

1215
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 1: you really can't he can't get anything less than that

1216
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 1: A plus. Well. One of the guys you mentioned earlier

1217
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:14,480
Speaker 1: who didn't do so well as well as Daniel Jones

1218
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 1: or Kyler Murray was Dwayne Haskins with the Redskins, And

1219
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 1: obviously it's one outing. It's not all hopeless for Dwayne Haskins,

1220
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:24,640
Speaker 1: But what did you see and what are the prospects

1221
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 1: for him progressing? I mean, that's the issue here, is

1222
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 1: that one year of college that always scares me, right

1223
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 1: when we're talking about a guy you might earn that

1224
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 1: job right off the bat. Now, Kyler Murray is in

1225
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 1: the same exact shoes in terms of only having one

1226
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 1: year of starting experience in college under his belt. But

1227
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:43,919
Speaker 1: that's always been saying this kind of mendes me about Haskins.

1228
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:45,840
Speaker 1: It's I've seen a lot of people say, well, he

1229
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 1: should be ready to start right off the bat. It

1230
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:49,400
Speaker 1: always scares me if a guy only has a hand

1231
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 1: a dozen or so starts in college and all of

1232
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:54,400
Speaker 1: a sudden, we're throwing him to the wolves. You know,

1233
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:56,680
Speaker 1: at the NFL level. It has worked in the past,

1234
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 1: and it could work with Haskins. It looks like it's

1235
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 1: gonna work with Murray, who is the overwhelming favorite really

1236
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 1: to be the offensive rookie of the year heading into

1237
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 1: the preseason, and so um, yeah, it could pan out.

1238
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 1: Like you say, but eight or fourteen, you know, sail

1239
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 1: the pass on the one pick a really ugly pick

1240
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 1: six on the you know what should have been a

1241
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 1: fairly easy route and a fairly easy read, and obviously

1242
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:25,919
Speaker 1: he just missed something, might have been overwhelmed. The one

1243
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:29,440
Speaker 1: factor is his offensive line is abysmal. And and maybe

1244
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 1: this this exacerbates Washington's motivation to get something done with

1245
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 1: Trent Williams, their hold out left tackle, because that's not

1246
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 1: gonna be That's one maybe reason why you would want

1247
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:43,600
Speaker 1: to keep Haskins off the field, because, with all the

1248
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 1: respect to case Keenum or whoever ends up in that

1249
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:48,800
Speaker 1: starting role, if they don't go with Haskins. They can

1250
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 1: afford to lose those guys, if you know, if unfortunately

1251
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 1: luck isn't on their side, but if Haskins would have

1252
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:58,760
Speaker 1: suffered a major injury, because his offensive line is a disaster,

1253
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 1: it's a real p our nightmare and general football nightmare

1254
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 1: for the Redskins. So maybe that's actually as much a

1255
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 1: factor as anything on the line with red Yanyo. He

1256
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 1: is Bleacher Report national NFL writer. He's gonna look at

1257
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 1: some of the top rookies and their first week of

1258
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 1: preseason football BRD. I told Steve I watched the video

1259
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:22,160
Speaker 1: of the Bears and the and the Carolina Panthers over

1260
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:24,480
Speaker 1: the weekend their game last Thursday night. I didn't see

1261
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 1: anybody who played much better rookie or not than Brian Burns,

1262
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 1: the edge rush guy for the Carolina Panthers. Two sacks

1263
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 1: in limited playtime. I really liked what I saw there. Yeah,

1264
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:36,960
Speaker 1: he's a guy who I've always you know, prior to

1265
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:39,960
Speaker 1: the draft. I was sort of, you know, tuoting his horn.

1266
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:42,000
Speaker 1: I felt that he was a guy who wasn't getting

1267
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 1: quite as much love as expecting. His numbers weren't quite

1268
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 1: there in college. But again as we've seen, numbers aren't

1269
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 1: necessarily indicative of what to expect from a past rusher

1270
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:53,200
Speaker 1: coming into the NFL based on what they did at

1271
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:56,040
Speaker 1: the college level. And so, you know, I think he's

1272
01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 1: got fantastic vision and strength. He's got great speed and

1273
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 1: technique in general. He's really refined and the beauty of

1274
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:04,920
Speaker 1: his two sacks, as I wrote in my piece, he

1275
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 1: says that he showed off both his vision and strength

1276
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 1: on the one sack where he found the right, you know,

1277
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 1: the right path, and then the second time where it

1278
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 1: was just pure you know, strength and its letticism as

1279
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 1: well as his technique in terms of getting to the quarterback.

1280
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 1: And so he flashed that right off the bat. He's

1281
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:25,240
Speaker 1: versatiles can be. He's actually a great run defender as well.

1282
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:27,000
Speaker 1: We didn't see much of that obviously in a small

1283
01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:31,480
Speaker 1: sampling against Chicago, but he's I think he's going to

1284
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:33,600
Speaker 1: have a huge rookie season. I really do. I think

1285
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of a perfect little irony where, of

1286
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:38,760
Speaker 1: course they use that first round pick on Julius Peppers

1287
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 1: seventeen years ago, they haven't used the first round pick

1288
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 1: on a pure edge rusher since, and now Harry Are.

1289
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:48,720
Speaker 1: Seventeen years later, Pepper's retires and they draft Brian Burns

1290
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:50,880
Speaker 1: in round one. He has two sacks right out of

1291
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 1: the right out of the gate, So it kind of

1292
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:55,800
Speaker 1: feels sort of serendipitous in terms of what he might

1293
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:57,640
Speaker 1: be able to bring to the table right off the bat.

1294
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 1: You know, we've seen it's a common refrain throughout the

1295
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:04,120
Speaker 1: National Football League just because of the history of the league,

1296
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:06,439
Speaker 1: that Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs will not be able

1297
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:09,040
Speaker 1: to put together a year like they did. Last year

1298
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:12,480
Speaker 1: was absolutely off the charts. But then we saw him

1299
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:17,160
Speaker 1: play in their first preseason game and maybe not so fast. Yeah,

1300
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 1: I mean again, it's it's one of those things where

1301
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:22,000
Speaker 1: you're like, I know it's a preseason game, but man,

1302
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 1: who's going to stop these guys? And you know, the

1303
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 1: opposing defensive coordinators have had eight months or whatever it's

1304
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 1: been to essentially devise a plan to stop Patrick Mahomes

1305
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 1: and the fact that that element of surprise is gone

1306
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:39,960
Speaker 1: and that, you know, you could kind of view a

1307
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:42,640
Speaker 1: potential for a sophomore slump, even though it's he's in

1308
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 1: this thirty year with sophomore in terms of this is

1309
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:49,880
Speaker 1: starting a career, it's there. It's entirely possible that, you know,

1310
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 1: some of that magic won't be there. But the fact

1311
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 1: that Tyreek Hill is going to be there for all

1312
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:58,800
Speaker 1: sixteen games, assuming is healthy. Regardless of whether you agree

1313
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 1: with what happened with his office season in the NFL's

1314
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 1: approach and the team's approach, the fact is he'll be there.

1315
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:07,040
Speaker 1: So will you know two new guys and Mcole Hardman

1316
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,600
Speaker 1: their second round pick who showed off his speed and

1317
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:15,040
Speaker 1: athleticism and explosiveness in their first preseason game, as well

1318
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 1: as Darwin Thompson, their sixth round pick. You may have

1319
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 1: a chance to to essentially battle with Damian Williams and

1320
01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide for that running back job. Maybe that you

1321
01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 1: know this year is still a blindsday or Tarik Cohen

1322
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 1: from twenty sixteen, the guy who or twenty seventeen, the

1323
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:31,840
Speaker 1: guy who just breaks onto the scene and plays a

1324
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 1: huge role. They love that speed in that offense. Andy Reid,

1325
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:37,640
Speaker 1: as as I wrote in my piece about you know

1326
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 1: Mahomes and the Chiefs you know just that published today,

1327
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 1: Andy Reid is at this point it's just he's a

1328
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:46,160
Speaker 1: sense that he's the ultimate guru. He's mastered this, he's

1329
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 1: been doing it for thirty five years, and he has

1330
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:56,240
Speaker 1: this entire arsenal of practically unstoppable weapons to kind of

1331
01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:58,920
Speaker 1: build it off each other. You can't just focus on Treko,

1332
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 1: you can't just focus on Travis Kelsey. And now all

1333
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you throw Thompson, you throw Hardman to that,

1334
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:06,080
Speaker 1: You got Sammy Watkins to you guys are obviously very

1335
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 1: familiar with who you know, has it come into his

1336
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:10,680
Speaker 1: own completely yet, but still in his mid twenties and

1337
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:13,600
Speaker 1: has incredible talent and we're not even talking about him,

1338
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 1: and so, I mean, it's just they're so deep and

1339
01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:17,760
Speaker 1: so talented, and I think it's going to be a

1340
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:20,840
Speaker 1: tough You know, they scored five hundred and sixty odd

1341
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:23,440
Speaker 1: points last season. They might become the second offense in

1342
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:25,520
Speaker 1: NFL history to score six hundred. They might have a

1343
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:27,440
Speaker 1: chance to hit that mark which Denver hit back in

1344
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:30,360
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen. I was going to ask you too. There's

1345
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 1: a there's a rumblings coming out Josh Gordon has asked

1346
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 1: for reinstatement into the National Football League, that his abilities

1347
01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:40,640
Speaker 1: are undeniable, and the fact that he's gotten so many

1348
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 1: chances after so many mishaps in his career. Will is

1349
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:46,920
Speaker 1: really more testament to his abilities that he keeps getting

1350
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:49,760
Speaker 1: asked back than it is to struggle, even as much

1351
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 1: as it is to struggle with his demons. If he

1352
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:54,720
Speaker 1: gets back in the league and goes back to the Patriots,

1353
01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 1: does it really change anything for them? Yeah, I mean,

1354
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 1: I think he could be a guy who kind of

1355
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 1: puts them over the top, just because you have the

1356
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:07,920
Speaker 1: Gronkowski's retirement, Julian Edelman's coming back from an injury right now.

1357
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe that's not a factor about the time

1358
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:11,560
Speaker 1: we get to November December, but it looks like it's

1359
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 1: something they could impact this preseason, potentially the start of

1360
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:18,560
Speaker 1: his season. They lose Chris Hogan in free agency, some

1361
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 1: of the guys they brought in thus far deal at

1362
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 1: Damerius Thomas and Cameron Meredith, namely both dealing with injuries

1363
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:27,120
Speaker 1: right now as well. And so yeah, they have a

1364
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:29,720
Speaker 1: couple of guys who who have really emerged this preseason,

1365
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:31,440
Speaker 1: some rookies who may have a chance to play a

1366
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:34,360
Speaker 1: big role. But Gordon's the guy who's actually been here

1367
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:36,120
Speaker 1: and done that. He's a guy who led the league

1368
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 1: in receiving yards a half a decade ago, And yeah,

1369
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 1: it was a half a decade ago. He may never

1370
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:42,400
Speaker 1: get back to the same flash Gordon that we saw

1371
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:45,600
Speaker 1: back then in Cleveland. Fact is, during about an eight

1372
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:47,680
Speaker 1: nine weeks stretch in the middle of the season with

1373
01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 1: New England last year, he was one of the most

1374
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:52,680
Speaker 1: productive receivers in the NFL six hundred and sixty nine yards,

1375
01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:57,200
Speaker 1: ranked fourteenth among receivers during that specific stretch, and was

1376
01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 1: really catching the deep ball, which is big because Tom Brady,

1377
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:02,120
Speaker 1: of course has probably lost a little bit of zip

1378
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:03,960
Speaker 1: in the last few years. And to have a guy

1379
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 1: that can really make plays deep and obviously in the

1380
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 1: red Don and we know he can utilize his size speed,

1381
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 1: that would be huge. So yeah, to have a veteran

1382
01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 1: press step into that receiving core when they've gone through

1383
01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 1: such a ridiculous amount to change this off season, I

1384
01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:20,560
Speaker 1: think would be huge for them. And potentially what would

1385
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:24,120
Speaker 1: be the difference between them or Pittsburgh or Cleveland. It's

1386
01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 1: hard to imagine or anybody else in the AFC competing. Hey, Brad,

1387
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:30,479
Speaker 1: I got a kind of a longer term Patriots question

1388
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 1: for you. Tom Brady got his contract extension. I think

1389
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:36,640
Speaker 1: we're just last week, not really an extension, just a

1390
01:07:36,680 --> 01:07:38,960
Speaker 1: way to move the money around. He is good to

1391
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:41,720
Speaker 1: go for this year, But is there any way he

1392
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 1: becomes a free agent next year after this upcoming season

1393
01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:47,800
Speaker 1: or Bob Kraft would never let that happen. Why do

1394
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:50,240
Speaker 1: you see that kind of winding down there with Brady

1395
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 1: in New England? You wonder I couldn't do that where

1396
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:55,760
Speaker 1: we saw em at Smith in an Arizona Cardinals Jersey,

1397
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:57,919
Speaker 1: or you know, Joe Montana and Chiefs Jersey. Like there's

1398
01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 1: all these all these guys at the end of their career.

1399
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:02,520
Speaker 1: Are you thinking here just anonymous with one team and

1400
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden things change. I can't imagine.

1401
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:07,919
Speaker 1: I think the big differences is that there's just so

1402
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:12,000
Speaker 1: such a lack of financial motivation to Tom Brady, and

1403
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 1: that he's happily been like not among the highest ten

1404
01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:18,000
Speaker 1: or fifteen paid players in the game for much of

1405
01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:20,560
Speaker 1: his career. So the fact that he's not going to

1406
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:23,519
Speaker 1: be driven by the financial aspect of all the Patriots

1407
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 1: are not going to pay me, I'll go somewhere else

1408
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 1: that's not on the probably anyway in the Cards. So

1409
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:32,000
Speaker 1: I doubt it. I think that he does care about

1410
01:08:32,040 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 1: his brand and his legacy and the fact that he

1411
01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 1: could be a Patriot wire to wire and how that

1412
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 1: storybook will finish. There was a time, as you guys

1413
01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 1: were well called this last offseason, where there was this

1414
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 1: you know, is there a controversy? There is? There is

1415
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 1: there bad blood between he and him and in the

1416
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:49,880
Speaker 1: organization he and Gronkowski specifically with the rest of the

1417
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 1: organization of course, based on his trainer and the policies

1418
01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:56,280
Speaker 1: attached to how Alex Camera was going about things, and

1419
01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:59,639
Speaker 1: so it seems like that's dissipated. I can imagine that's

1420
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:02,040
Speaker 1: the only way this would come to a you know,

1421
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 1: anything but a storybook conclusion to what's been a storybook career.

1422
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:09,880
Speaker 1: But the fact is that he is eligible to become

1423
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:12,800
Speaker 1: a free agent next offseason, and if he decides he

1424
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:15,600
Speaker 1: wants to keep playing, and all of a sudden, Jared'stidham,

1425
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:19,000
Speaker 1: who could be the heir apparent there is ready to

1426
01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:21,880
Speaker 1: go and you know, who knows what can happen in

1427
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:24,599
Speaker 1: this league between now and next March. So you can't

1428
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:27,960
Speaker 1: completely ruin out. Just tell me when his rain is over.

1429
01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 1: Just wake us up. When it's over. Hey, brand, thanks

1430
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:32,800
Speaker 1: for this. We appreciate a good talking. We need in

1431
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:35,479
Speaker 1: good work. Thank you. Thanks thanks a lot, guys. Red

1432
01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:38,839
Speaker 1: ganiol Is, Bleacher Report national NFL writer contributed to the comeback.

1433
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:42,760
Speaker 1: He wrote a study of grades of rookies from their

1434
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:45,760
Speaker 1: first preseason game. And yes, the grade should all of

1435
01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 1: them should be incomplete, right, But that's what we do.

1436
01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 1: You know, we make a giant sweeping conclusions based on

1437
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:54,719
Speaker 1: a little bit of evidence. Well, we don't make giants sweeping,

1438
01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:58,360
Speaker 1: but we do make evaluations. And just like the players

1439
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:01,000
Speaker 1: that get evaluated by the coaches, body is out there

1440
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:02,600
Speaker 1: for everybody to see and see how they did and

1441
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:04,320
Speaker 1: see where they flashed, where they did good, and where

1442
01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:06,640
Speaker 1: they did bad, and then to project it forward to

1443
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:10,679
Speaker 1: see how they're gonna do. And that's really well, listen,

1444
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:12,160
Speaker 1: that's the fun of it. That's part of the fun

1445
01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 1: of watching this stuff, particularly at this time of year.

1446

01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:15,600
Speaker 1: killed his voice. Yeah, but he can talk softly so

1485
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:16,960

1490
01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:29,880
Speaker 1: I was reading about him last week thinking about it.

1491
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:31,759
Speaker 1: We got to reach out to he's like on the

1492

1494
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:38,599
Speaker 1: One of the most interesting guys I've ever come out.

1495
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 1: I wasn't to look for him. I remember he was

1496
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:42,280
Speaker 1: a magician when he was coaching the Bengals. He was

1497
01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 1: a professional magician, not a professional position. He was a Goodsiian.

1498
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:50,320
Speaker 1: He didn't make any money doing he We'll ask him, well,

1499
01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:51,679
Speaker 1: ask him, well, do you know he was the great?

1500
01:12:52,160 --> 01:12:54,960
Speaker 1: I remember my first year at CBS, he was on

1501
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 1: the roster for analysts and I saw him sitting at

1502
01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:00,439
Speaker 1: a table. We were to this big media event and

1503
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:03,439
Speaker 1: Sam Wis is sitting there next to Jerry Glanville, former

1504
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:06,599
Speaker 1: head coach of the Atlanta Falcons and Houston Oilers, next

1505
01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:09,760
Speaker 1: to George Seyffert, super Bowl winning head coach for the

1506
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:14,479
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers. Mike Ditka was there at

1507
01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:15,920
Speaker 1: the same time. So all these guys are sitting there

1508
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:17,600
Speaker 1: at the same table, all these headquarters, you know, the

1509
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:19,800
Speaker 1: met He was like sitting there, guys. You know, what

1510
01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:21,720
Speaker 1: do you guys think? Is it is it coaching or

1511
01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:23,559
Speaker 1: is it players? What's the you know, what's the big

1512
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:27,720
Speaker 1: and so you know, nobody wants to Sam goes. Let

1513
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:29,280
Speaker 1: me just tell you a story. He goes one year

1514
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 1: as I was in Cincinnati. He goes in in twelve months,

1515
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:37,439
Speaker 1: twelve months, I went from the village idiot to the

1516
01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:39,679
Speaker 1: coach of the year. He goes. You know the difference

1517
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:42,200
Speaker 1: it was. He goes, they got me some really good players,

1518
01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 1: and all he looked around, he guys, I don't know

1519
01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:45,439
Speaker 1: about these guys, but that's what it was for me.

1520
01:13:45,479 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 1: And they all looked around, they're going, they're going, hey,

1521
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:49,960
Speaker 1: give me some good players. I'm a great coach. You know.

1522
01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:51,439
Speaker 1: When he was here, I think it was only one year.

1523
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:53,599
Speaker 1: Maybe I think just one year. But he was just

1524
01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:55,280
Speaker 1: that he was a truth teller. He would tell you

1525
01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:57,360
Speaker 1: the truth about what he thought got him in trouble

1526
01:13:57,400 --> 01:13:59,519
Speaker 1: once in a while in a couple of different NFL spots. Yeah.

1527
01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:02,120
Speaker 1: And when he was and we're talking about Sam, which

1528
01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:04,559
Speaker 1: here like hopefully we're gonna have another chance to see this.

1529
01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:07,719
Speaker 1: He was in Cincinnati, finished his career. And it's well

1530
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:11,240
Speaker 1: known Mike Brown runs the Cincinnati Bengals, and he runs

1531
01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:13,880
Speaker 1: it from the top down, you know, I mean, he says,

1532
01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:15,479
Speaker 1: how it's going to be and Sam went in with

1533
01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:20,120
Speaker 1: a with a list of conditions or aspects of the

1534
01:14:20,240 --> 01:14:22,680
Speaker 1: organization and he wanted to change in certain ways and

1535
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 1: he had mapped out and he said, he says, if

1536
01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 1: you want to win, you got to do these things,

1537
01:14:29,080 --> 01:14:32,960
Speaker 1: or you know, you can fire me, you know, And

1538
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:38,679
Speaker 1: Mike Brown said you're fired. And Sam left and Mike

1539
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:42,400
Speaker 1: Brown thought he was kidding, and Sam wasn't kidding, and

1540
01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:46,160
Speaker 1: they the league. There was an arbitrator and Mike Brown

1541
01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:49,240
Speaker 1: had to pay him his salary and Sam Wie was fired.

1542
01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:52,639
Speaker 1: Mike Brown didn't wanted him to coach. He didn't want

1543
01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:54,280
Speaker 1: to fire him. He thought he was kidding. Mike and

1544
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:57,760
Speaker 1: Sam left and they had a big lawsuit and all

1545
01:14:57,760 --> 01:14:59,800
Speaker 1: that and ended up paying him for not coaching. And

1546
01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:02,080
Speaker 1: Brown does not like to pay coaches you ain't coaching.

1547
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:05,360
Speaker 1: So there was that. That's the kind of guy he was.

1548
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:07,240
Speaker 1: He was a truth teller. YEP. I liked the guy.

1549
01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:09,559
Speaker 1: I hope maybe we'll get him up. Hey, um, Steph

1574
01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:13,360
Speaker 1: guys that before. Ye and uh, I yeah, I want

1575
01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:15,760
Speaker 1: to see more Devin Singletary. And I just only was

1576
01:16:15,840 --> 01:16:17,960
Speaker 1: able to get the YouTube's because down here you don't.

1577
01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:20,840
Speaker 1: We can't get the preseason games unless we pay money

1578
01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:23,120
Speaker 1: for it. I'm not doing that, so I'd rather wait

1579
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:25,360
Speaker 1: for NFL Network to put it on and I record

1580
01:16:25,400 --> 01:16:27,599
Speaker 1: every one of them. But I also want to see

1581
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:29,920
Speaker 1: what does his line look like? And I'd love to

1582
01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:32,559
Speaker 1: hear your opinion. I know Mitch is out, and you

1583
01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:34,880
Speaker 1: know a lot of guys hurt. And I've listened to

1584
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:38,160
Speaker 1: Vic over the weekend on the NFL radio, so I

1585
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:40,680
Speaker 1: heard Feliciano did a good job. I love to hear

1586
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:43,360
Speaker 1: more about Spencer Long and some of the others. So

1587
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:45,840
Speaker 1: just giving you guys opinions. Yeah, you're looking for a

1588
01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:48,880
Speaker 1: mid camp update on the offensive line. That's that's pretty

1589
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:51,920
Speaker 1: that's a legitimate question. Let me just pretty this way,

1590
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:53,840
Speaker 1: and we still we're kind of where we were. If

1591
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:58,479
Speaker 1: they're healthy, they will be significantly significantly better than they

1592
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:01,200
Speaker 1: were a year ago, and both run and the pass

1593
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:04,720
Speaker 1: injuries are a concern at this point, but not a

1594
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:09,719
Speaker 1: long term concern. And there will absolutely definitely be four

1595
01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:12,639
Speaker 1: brand new offensive line starters when the season kicks off.

1596
01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:16,720
Speaker 1: So unless Wyatt Teller makes a bold push at the

1597
01:17:16,840 --> 01:17:18,920
Speaker 1: end to get the left guard spot, it's going to

1598
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:21,760
Speaker 1: be four new offensive line starters. The only holdover will be,

1599
01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:24,840
Speaker 1: of course, the left tackle, Dion Dawkins. They are looking better.

1600
01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:29,880
Speaker 1: They made more runs, more and better runs in the

1601
01:17:30,040 --> 01:17:35,080
Speaker 1: game preseason game on Thursday night against I guess the

1602
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:38,040
Speaker 1: Colts than they did for big long stretches of the

1603
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:40,160
Speaker 1: season last year. That's preseason, and I don't know what

1604
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:42,479
Speaker 1: the Colts were doing defensively. Maybe they were making it

1605
01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:45,080
Speaker 1: easy on the Bills. I don't know, but they look better.

1606
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 1: That is, That's the way it goes. And that's where

1607
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:51,200
Speaker 1: I am on the offensive line right now. Here's where

1608
01:17:51,240 --> 01:17:53,559
Speaker 1: I am. I mentioned this first hour of the show.

1609
01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:56,400
Speaker 1: I love quotey Ford at right guard and Tian Seki

1610
01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:59,839
Speaker 1: at right tackle, anticipating that Mitch Morris gets back, hopefully

1611
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:02,760
Speaker 1: sooner rather than later. Quentin Spain has not left the

1612
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:06,080
Speaker 1: starting lineup and left guard throughout camp, which you know

1613
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:08,160
Speaker 1: that that to me. I didn't see that coming in

1614
01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:10,720
Speaker 1: in the pre camp period. And of course Dawkins, I

1615
01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:12,920
Speaker 1: think is pretty solid at left tackle. That's what I think.

1616
01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:14,720
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna when it's all said and done,

1617
01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:18,880
Speaker 1: it appears to me, Dan, it'll be Dawkins going left right, Dawkins, Spain,

1618
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:23,160
Speaker 1: Morse Um for Ford and Insecki. What do you think

1619
01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:26,519
Speaker 1: of that? Dan? I love it. I love it, I

1620
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:29,519
Speaker 1: really do. But I've heard that Feliciano did a pretty

1621
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:32,000
Speaker 1: good job there. Yep, he did. He did, and there's

1622
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:34,720
Speaker 1: some versatility with him, which is important to center futility.

1623
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:38,559
Speaker 1: With Feliciano and and Spencer Long is also in the mix,

1624
01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 1: there's too I think they're all set up through the middle,

1625
01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:43,720
Speaker 1: through both guards and center. They've got two guys that

1626
01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:48,760
Speaker 1: can play either guard and center behind Mitch Morse uh

1627
01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:52,080
Speaker 1: in Spencer Long and John Feliciano. Uh And that's nothing

1628
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:56,280
Speaker 1: about Ford and and Spain. So they've got enough guys now.

1629
01:18:56,280 --> 01:19:00,160
Speaker 1: At tackle, they're still signing guys Um but time and

1630
01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:02,639
Speaker 1: Secki is the right tackle, and I think the third

1631
01:19:02,680 --> 01:19:05,240
Speaker 1: tackle on the team is probably going to end up

1632
01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:09,160
Speaker 1: being Cody Ford. So if they do have an injury

1633
01:19:09,200 --> 01:19:12,439
Speaker 1: at either tackle, Insecki will move to left if it's

1634
01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:14,479
Speaker 1: the left tackle that got injured, or Ford would move

1635
01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:17,720
Speaker 1: to right tackle if Inseci gets injured, and then they'll

1636
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:20,000
Speaker 1: fill in, they'll bring the new guys off the bench,

1637
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:23,799
Speaker 1: and they'll be down inside. So it looks like Dawkins, Ford,

1638
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:26,720
Speaker 1: and Insecki will be the three top tackles, even though

1639
01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:29,120
Speaker 1: Ford will be probably playing most of the season and

1640
01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:32,559
Speaker 1: in a perfect scenario, who'll play sixteen games at right guard,

1641
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:34,880
Speaker 1: He's still the third guy they'll go in at tackle

1642
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:37,679
Speaker 1: at this point. At this point, Dan, thanks you recall

1643
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:40,120
Speaker 1: Chris and Myrtle Beach has a question I believe about

1644
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:43,320
Speaker 1: offensive mind. Chris, go ahead, you're on the air, Hey, guys,

1645
01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:46,360
Speaker 1: on my way to spartan Burg right now, boys tomorrow

1646
01:19:46,439 --> 01:19:49,320
Speaker 1: see over there. How long a drive is that for you? Chris?

1647
01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:51,720
Speaker 1: About five and a half hours getting a hotel you

1648
01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:53,320
Speaker 1: know that way, we could be there bright and early,

1649
01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:57,360
Speaker 1: straight across the state, right, Yes, sir. I actually had

1650
01:19:57,360 --> 01:19:59,599
Speaker 1: two questions real quick before I gave you my player.

1651
01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:02,760
Speaker 1: The first question is, um, you guys keep saying nine

1652
01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:06,160
Speaker 1: forty five tomorrow's the start, but the Panther's website says

1653
01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:08,760
Speaker 1: nine twenty five. And I was just curious on which

1654
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:10,800
Speaker 1: one was correct. If you knew that, good question. And

1655
01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:14,920
Speaker 1: see I'm going by the bills itinerary, which we were

1656
01:20:15,040 --> 01:20:18,120
Speaker 1: privy two. Let me double check. Um, go ahead with

1657
01:20:18,160 --> 01:20:20,800
Speaker 1: your second question. Let me double check that, yes, sir.

1658
01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:22,559
Speaker 1: And then my second question for you is, um, do

1659
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:25,080
Speaker 1: you guys anticipate the players staying after practice tomorrow to

1660
01:20:25,400 --> 01:20:28,879
Speaker 1: sign some stuff for everyone? Yeah? Probably, you'll you'll probably

1661
01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:32,080
Speaker 1: have a chance to interact with him. I don't know how.

1662
01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:37,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what it'll be like, but the but yeah,

1663
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure that they'll have opportunities for that. Either they'll

1664
01:20:42,439 --> 01:20:44,760
Speaker 1: be scheduled and they'll make those public, or they'll just

1665
01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:47,040
Speaker 1: come out after practice. I'm sure that the teams will

1666
01:20:47,080 --> 01:20:50,679
Speaker 1: make make use of that. Now, our says, practice number

1667
01:20:50,680 --> 01:20:53,719
Speaker 1: fourteen on Tuesday starts at nine fifteen to eleven thirty

1668
01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:58,440
Speaker 1: am on the schedule five teen. Why did yeah? Nine fifteen? Sorry,

1669
01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:02,799
Speaker 1: so you're right, you're right, Uh, Chris, it's nine fifteen tomorrow,

1670
01:21:02,840 --> 01:21:05,360
Speaker 1: nine twenty, and that's when practice starts. Now, of course,

1671
01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:07,400
Speaker 1: it'll take him a half hour to get role. It'll

1672
01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:10,680
Speaker 1: be stretch and like you know, individual and all that,

1673
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:13,240
Speaker 1: and when the when the practice really gets going, it'll

1674
01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:16,400
Speaker 1: be a half hour forty five minutes after that. Gotcha,

1675
01:21:16,439 --> 01:21:18,400
Speaker 1: Thank you guys for clarifying I got Josh Allen and

1676
01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:21,960
Speaker 1: a Mica High jersey that needs some signature. So the

1677
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:23,600
Speaker 1: person that I want to see more of, you know,

1678
01:21:23,760 --> 01:21:26,640
Speaker 1: is is honestly miss Morris. It's very concerning to me that,

1679
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:30,280
Speaker 1: you know, he's had concussion problems before and he's done

1680
01:21:30,280 --> 01:21:33,160
Speaker 1: out so long. You know, they may be trying to

1681
01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:35,639
Speaker 1: milk it so that way for the season. He's he's

1682
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:37,760
Speaker 1: ready to go, But you know, he's the player that

1683
01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:39,679
Speaker 1: I really want to see get out there and start

1684
01:21:39,760 --> 01:21:42,760
Speaker 1: hitting pads um. It's making me a little nervous I've

1685
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:45,680
Speaker 1: seeing him out so long, but that's my opinion. I

1686
01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:47,400
Speaker 1: can't wait to see you guys tomorrow and have a

1687
01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:49,360
Speaker 1: good rest of your day. Thank you, Chris. That's a

1688
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:51,360
Speaker 1: good call too. It's a good point. Is it really long?

1689
01:21:51,400 --> 01:21:54,000
Speaker 1: It's two weeks? Right? For Mitch Moore's right, you got

1690
01:21:54,080 --> 01:21:57,280
Speaker 1: hurt the first weekend of training camp, which was a

1691
01:21:57,360 --> 01:22:01,120
Speaker 1: twenty six twenty seventh of July, and he's been out

1692
01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:03,280
Speaker 1: a little bit more than two weeks now. I don't know. Yeah,

1693
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:04,920
Speaker 1: it seems long, but I don't think it's as long

1694
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:06,920
Speaker 1: as it seems. Does that make any sense? And I

1695
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:10,320
Speaker 1: do think, you know, it's protocol, so they don't have updates,

1696
01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:12,160
Speaker 1: they don't have a timetable. They can't when you're in

1697
01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:15,719
Speaker 1: concussion protocol. H McDermott was asked about it the Friday

1698
01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:18,120
Speaker 1: and probably yesterday too. I didn't see his comment on it,

1699
01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:19,920
Speaker 1: but he can't give you updates, so we don't have

1700
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:23,360
Speaker 1: an update. And when they'll be back, I'm not it's concerning,

1701
01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:25,400
Speaker 1: but I'm not pushing the panic button yet. What about you,

1702
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:27,519
Speaker 1: I'm the same. I just want to see him. I

1703
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:29,960
Speaker 1: want to get out there, and once he gets back,

1704
01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:32,360
Speaker 1: they'll probably make him available to the media because he's

1705
01:22:32,360 --> 01:22:35,160
Speaker 1: not allowed to be to talk to the media UM

1706
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:39,200
Speaker 1: when he's in the protocol, So when he comes back

1707
01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:41,280
Speaker 1: and he is available, they'll ask him about it. And

1708
01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:43,519
Speaker 1: I'm anxious to hear what he has to say about

1709
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:45,559
Speaker 1: it and what a symptoms were, how bad he thinks

1710
01:22:45,560 --> 01:22:48,439
Speaker 1: it is. Maybe we'll get an idea now if it's

1711
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:53,280
Speaker 1: if it continues, Yeah, it's more. The longer it goes,

1712
01:22:53,320 --> 01:22:56,040
Speaker 1: the more concerning it is, no question about it. Mc

1713
01:22:56,320 --> 01:22:59,920
Speaker 1: dermot joined him in concussion protocol as of the weekend.

1714
01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:05,280
Speaker 1: UM limited work yesterday for Russell Bodine Dawson Knox. That's good.

1715
01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:08,560
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox maybe coming back. Corey Thompson banged up a

1716
01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:11,280
Speaker 1: little bit Thursday. Limited works in Norris Perry and Tyler

1717
01:23:11,320 --> 01:23:14,760
Speaker 1: Craft limited work. Jason Croom practiced in a limited way

1718
01:23:14,840 --> 01:23:17,559
Speaker 1: yesterday and that's good too. But we'll get an update tomorrow.

1719
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:19,519
Speaker 1: I think McDermott does a sand your cheat. I think

1720
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:22,639
Speaker 1: McDermott meets with the media tomorrow before practice eighty five.

1721
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:26,920
Speaker 1: I want to say, yeah, eight training, that's an earlier

1722
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:29,280
Speaker 1: wake up call for you, Steve Tasker. We're gonna roll

1723
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:32,479
Speaker 1: into un Spartanburg one or two in the morning and

1724
01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:36,120
Speaker 1: right at it in the at It's not on here.

1725
01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:40,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't say this isn't the media schedules of the

1726
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:42,200
Speaker 1: team schedule, So the media schedule will be different. Dave

1727
01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:44,080
Speaker 1: on the line from Florida. Go ahead, Dave, you're on

1728
01:23:44,160 --> 01:23:47,679
Speaker 1: the air with us. John, How you guys are doing okay,

1729
01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:50,679
Speaker 1: doing good? What one question before I give him a player,

1730
01:23:50,760 --> 01:23:54,360
Speaker 1: I'm looking for, let's swise helmets. What's just something new

1731
01:23:54,439 --> 01:23:58,840
Speaker 1: to shoot? These guys changed helmets. Well, yes, uh, there's

1732
01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:04,640
Speaker 1: now a rule that for the first time the NFL has,

1733
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:06,920
Speaker 1: you know, because of their research and because of their

1734
01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:11,240
Speaker 1: concern about players safety and everything that they've gone through,

1735
01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:14,559
Speaker 1: the testing and all that they have now put in

1736
01:24:14,680 --> 01:24:18,040
Speaker 1: to play a list of helmets that are acceptable from companies,

1737
01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:25,280
Speaker 1: that are acceptable in fact specific helmets models, because company

1738
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:29,559
Speaker 1: companies will put out a different model for different players.

1739
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:31,960
Speaker 1: They'll put out this model for lineman, this model for

1740
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:34,240
Speaker 1: wide receivers, this model for running backs, this model for

1741
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:38,080
Speaker 1: defend defenders, and they'll have like four or five helmet models.

1742
01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:40,880
Speaker 1: Even within those models, they'll be on and off the

1743
01:24:40,920 --> 01:24:43,840
Speaker 1: list of acceptable models for NFL players. You and that

1744
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:45,840
Speaker 1: two years ago the league said, hey, they gave him

1745
01:24:45,880 --> 01:24:48,160
Speaker 1: this deadline at the beginning of this season that said, listen,

1746
01:24:48,240 --> 01:24:50,799
Speaker 1: if you're gonna play in the league this year twenty nineteen,

1747
01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:54,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to have a helmet from the list

1748
01:24:54,840 --> 01:24:59,680
Speaker 1: of companies and model numbers from this list. And a

1749
01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:04,599
Speaker 1: large number of players have old helmets, they have helmets

1750
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:08,519
Speaker 1: from unacceptable or helmets that don't test well or didn't

1751
01:25:08,560 --> 01:25:13,400
Speaker 1: test well enough. And so that's where this helmet controversial here,

1752
01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:17,320
Speaker 1: the one you hear about with Antonio Brown and other

1753
01:25:17,360 --> 01:25:20,720
Speaker 1: players like him, have started. It was present in the

1754
01:25:20,840 --> 01:25:24,759
Speaker 1: time back when I played. Guys really fought against changing

1755
01:25:24,840 --> 01:25:29,160
Speaker 1: helmets and they still do today. So yeah, something to watch, Dave.

1756
01:25:29,200 --> 01:25:31,080
Speaker 1: You have another question. I believe that he's still there, Dave,

1757
01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:34,760
Speaker 1: another question, Yes I do. I think this is just

1758
01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown being a baby. But the guy I'm looking

1759
01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:41,320
Speaker 1: at is Barkley. I want to see more Barkley and

1760
01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:45,679
Speaker 1: Tywee Jackson. Why's that, Dave? Because I think Matt Barkley's

1761
01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:47,280
Speaker 1: got a good arm. I like the way he played

1762
01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:50,679
Speaker 1: in that first game. Yeah he did. He played really well.

1763
01:25:51,400 --> 01:25:53,719
Speaker 1: I thought so too, And I know Jackson's a little

1764
01:25:53,720 --> 01:25:56,840
Speaker 1: while as a little young rock, but I think in

1765
01:25:57,000 --> 01:25:59,120
Speaker 1: time this kids are gonna be a good football player.

1766
01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:02,120
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see how they portioned out the

1767
01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 1: quarterback snaps. Tyree got the whole second half the other night,

1768
01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:08,360
Speaker 1: which was a lot, and you might get more right,

1769
01:26:09,400 --> 01:26:11,160
Speaker 1: I get the I think I don't want to put

1770
01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:14,240
Speaker 1: words in Dave's mouth. Yes, Barkley played well. He doesn't

1771
01:26:14,280 --> 01:26:17,479
Speaker 1: need a lot of work. Josh needs the work. But

1772
01:26:17,520 --> 01:26:20,000
Speaker 1: you don't want to exposure in the injury, so maybe

1773
01:26:20,040 --> 01:26:23,040
Speaker 1: Tyree gets the second half again. I think this is

1774
01:26:23,080 --> 01:26:26,320
Speaker 1: going to be an exact replay quarterback reps this coming up.

1775
01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:30,200
Speaker 1: I think Josh will take ten reps, twelve reps whatever,

1776
01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:32,760
Speaker 1: Barkley will take the rest of the first half, whatever

1777
01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:35,040
Speaker 1: that turns out to be, and Tyree gets the entire

1778
01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:38,080
Speaker 1: seconds what I think, I'm just talking. He hasn't Sean

1779
01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:41,200
Speaker 1: McDermott hasn't said. They probably haven't even decided. But push

1780
01:26:41,240 --> 01:26:43,599
Speaker 1: comes to shove, that's what they're gonna do. I would think, Yeah,

1781
01:26:43,760 --> 01:26:46,600
Speaker 1: because you know that Barkley looked great. You want to

1782
01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:48,559
Speaker 1: keep him sharp and give him some reps and keep

1783
01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:54,120
Speaker 1: him interested anyway, And and Tyree needs more work than

1784
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:57,320
Speaker 1: even Josh and Matt, so yeah, let's see what he's got.

1785
01:26:57,400 --> 01:27:00,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, I agree, I'd like to see. And I

1786
01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:02,080
Speaker 1: don't care how much of Matt Barclay I see. I

1787
01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:04,040
Speaker 1: just wanted to see him be successful like he was

1788
01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:07,280
Speaker 1: last week. That that makes me feel good inside, having

1789
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:09,360
Speaker 1: a backup quarterback that you trust with the system and

1790
01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:11,200
Speaker 1: the players. Ye, all right, we got a break here,

1791
01:27:11,240 --> 01:27:13,639
Speaker 1: We're coming back. John Murphy's Steve Tasker One Bill's Live,

01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:40,719
Speaker 1: on in the past. He's got a lot of thoughts

1799
01:27:40,720 --> 01:27:43,120
Speaker 1: about the bills and some of the preseason. We got

01:27:52,760 --> 01:27:56,400
Speaker 1: he's cut the British accent. Yes, thick one, Yes, very nice.

1804
01:27:56,479 --> 01:27:59,559
Speaker 1: Love it's that adds little international flavors. All of that

1805
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:01,559
Speaker 1: coming up in the thirty five hours of the show.

1806
01:28:01,760 --> 01:28:03,360
Speaker 1: Talking about who you want to see more of and

1807
01:28:03,400 --> 01:28:07,160
Speaker 1: the remaining three preseason games. Ryan and Charlotte on the

1808
01:28:07,160 --> 01:28:10,360
Speaker 1: line of the Sollo, Ryan, welcome to the show. Hey,

Speaker 1: how are you guys doing? Okay? Great, We'll be down

1810
01:28:13,640 --> 01:28:15,640
Speaker 1: there tomorrow. I've got three generations. Is gonna have my

1811
01:28:15,680 --> 01:28:18,120
Speaker 1: four year old and my old man he's seventy eight,

1812
01:28:18,200 --> 01:28:20,679
Speaker 1: So we're excited to see you guys. Wow, how many

1813
01:28:20,720 --> 01:28:22,880
Speaker 1: how many you think how many Bills fans are gonna

1814
01:28:22,880 --> 01:28:25,640
Speaker 1: be there tomorrow? Do you think probably a lot more

1815
01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:30,000
Speaker 1: than Panthers saying we show had a lot better, don't. Yeah,

1816
01:28:30,200 --> 01:28:34,879
Speaker 1: let's not, let's not talk start talking smack just yet. Well,

1817
01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:37,000
Speaker 1: I mean I took my life to a Panthers game

1818
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:39,240
Speaker 1: when we were first down here, and then I took

1819
01:28:39,240 --> 01:28:40,960
Speaker 1: her back to Western New York to see the Bills

1820
01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:44,519
Speaker 1: play in twenty twelve, and she's like, this is entirely different,

1821
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:47,559
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh yeah, if Steve, have you

1822
01:28:48,040 --> 01:28:49,560
Speaker 1: just hang on a second day? Right, Steve? Have you

1823
01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:54,040
Speaker 1: ever been to a Bills game in Carolina Panthers preseason? Preseason? Well?

1824
01:28:54,080 --> 01:28:56,559
Speaker 1: I played in one, did you really? Yeah? I played

1825
01:28:56,560 --> 01:28:59,160
Speaker 1: in the very first Oh my gosh, I played the

1826
01:28:59,240 --> 01:29:02,160
Speaker 1: very first preseason game ever in that stadium. It's filled

1827
01:29:02,160 --> 01:29:05,000
Speaker 1: with Bills fans. Is it? You're you're gonna see a

1828
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:09,120
Speaker 1: lot more dark than Carolina blue, I would, especially in

1829
01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:11,479
Speaker 1: the preseason. Remind me to tell you a story after

1830
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:13,880
Speaker 1: Ryan gets done about the first preseason game ever in

1831
01:29:13,880 --> 01:29:17,599
Speaker 1: that stadium. Go ahead, Ryan, what's your question? So? Um,

1832
01:29:17,680 --> 01:29:20,800
Speaker 1: Christian Wade, I mean, obviously I think there's gonna be

1833
01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:22,800
Speaker 1: the hype because he broke the big run, and I

1834
01:29:22,880 --> 01:29:26,599
Speaker 1: mean his speed was phenomenal. Do you think about rugby.

1835
01:29:26,640 --> 01:29:28,840
Speaker 1: I played rugby in college here in Charlotte, and then

1836
01:29:29,320 --> 01:29:31,400
Speaker 1: you got fifteen guys on either side of the ball

1837
01:29:31,439 --> 01:29:35,479
Speaker 1: and rugby in the same size field roughly, So there's

1838
01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:37,760
Speaker 1: I mean that, And you can't block in rugby. I

1839
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:40,800
Speaker 1: mean it's entirely If you block, it's called obstruction. It's

1840
01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:43,000
Speaker 1: a penalty. Right, He's used to run him for his

1841
01:29:43,080 --> 01:29:46,320
Speaker 1: life everywhere, and now he's got three hundred pound dudes

1842
01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:48,639
Speaker 1: throwing blocks for him. I mean, that guy has yet.

1843
01:29:48,800 --> 01:29:51,120
Speaker 1: I want to see that. But also tight end. We

1844
01:29:51,160 --> 01:29:53,160
Speaker 1: got like nine tight ends on the roster, right, Like

1845
01:29:53,200 --> 01:29:56,080
Speaker 1: I've heard good things about Tommy Sweeney, saw the you know,

1846
01:29:56,080 --> 01:29:58,960
Speaker 1: the Red, White, Blue game and uh, you know catches

1847
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:00,960
Speaker 1: in the Nate Becker with the touchdowns. But I mean

1848
01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:03,680
Speaker 1: it's so wide open with Tyler Crofty and Hurt. I

1849
01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:05,640
Speaker 1: feel like that's the one place I mean, the receiver is.

1850
01:30:05,640 --> 01:30:07,080
Speaker 1: I feel like he got a top five and then

1851
01:30:07,080 --> 01:30:09,600
Speaker 1: there's the final six we're fighting for. I feel like

1852
01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:12,040
Speaker 1: our defense is stacked. So you know, years ago and

1853
01:30:12,080 --> 01:30:14,439
Speaker 1: we had higher out and we had a great defense,

1854
01:30:14,479 --> 01:30:16,880
Speaker 1: you know, and Sparts had him playing lights out. I

1855
01:30:16,880 --> 01:30:19,360
Speaker 1: feel like we're approaching that again with an amazing defense

1856
01:30:19,439 --> 01:30:21,759
Speaker 1: and now if we just tag it together with some weapons.

1857
01:30:22,200 --> 01:30:23,840
Speaker 1: But I feel like tight end is something we just

1858
01:30:23,920 --> 01:30:26,960
Speaker 1: haven't had a stud tight end in a long time. Right. Well,

1859
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:28,960
Speaker 1: they're hard to find, you know, Ryan, and I think

1860
01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:31,200
Speaker 1: you know you've got certainly got some guys that make

1861
01:30:31,240 --> 01:30:34,519
Speaker 1: you hopeful on this roster, and we'll just have to

1862
01:30:34,520 --> 01:30:38,040
Speaker 1: see when they get healthy. Tyler Croft was showed flashes

1863
01:30:38,080 --> 01:30:40,280
Speaker 1: of being very good when he was in Cincinnati. He's

1864
01:30:40,280 --> 01:30:42,720
Speaker 1: had to harp trouble staying healthy. That's why Cincinnati lost

1865
01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:47,719
Speaker 1: faith in him. Dawson Knox certainly has the physical size

1866
01:30:47,880 --> 01:30:49,720
Speaker 1: and some speed. We've seen some good things in the

1867
01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:51,880
Speaker 1: brief times we've seen him as well. Same thing with

1868
01:30:51,960 --> 01:30:55,320
Speaker 1: Sweeney and now you got Becker throwing his head in

1869
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:57,439
Speaker 1: the in the ring. And Kroom is a guy that

1870
01:30:58,280 --> 01:31:01,760
Speaker 1: plays the position like a wide receiver. He's that kind

1871
01:31:01,760 --> 01:31:04,000
Speaker 1: of But now he's got to, you know, if he

1872
01:31:04,040 --> 01:31:05,639
Speaker 1: wants to be a three down tight end. He's got

1873
01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:07,640
Speaker 1: a block better in the run game. So there's a

1874
01:31:07,680 --> 01:31:10,080
Speaker 1: lot of hope at the tight end and there's a

1875
01:31:10,120 --> 01:31:12,679
Speaker 1: lot of numbers at the tight end. We haven't seen

1876
01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:15,439
Speaker 1: enough of any of them. That's the problem. Wofford. By

1877
01:31:15,479 --> 01:31:18,679
Speaker 1: the way, you guys are good. Wofford is correct. Wafford. Okay,

1878
01:31:18,760 --> 01:31:22,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna okay. I feel like I should ask somebody

1879
01:31:22,240 --> 01:31:24,759
Speaker 1: at the college you know we're going to anyway. Yeah,

1880
01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:26,639
Speaker 1: it'd be like if somebody said, how do you pronounce

1881
01:31:26,960 --> 01:31:29,280
Speaker 1: this good, Jack? What are you? Wouldn't take somebody's word

1882
01:31:29,320 --> 01:31:31,759
Speaker 1: for it, right, You'd want to hear somebody who exactly

1883
01:31:31,840 --> 01:31:35,040
Speaker 1: right on or near this kid, Jack. Thanks, looking forward

1884
01:31:35,040 --> 01:31:36,639
Speaker 1: to seeing down there tomorrow. What do you say? Three

1885
01:31:36,640 --> 01:31:40,320
Speaker 1: generations of his family coming to watch training camp practice tomorrow.

1886
01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:42,519
Speaker 1: That's cool. His dad, him and his four year old.

1887
01:31:42,520 --> 01:31:44,880
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be fun. Looks it's gonna be hot.

1888
01:31:45,479 --> 01:31:48,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna be busy tomorrow. We're gonna be exhausted. You

1889
01:31:48,720 --> 01:31:50,800
Speaker 1: know what's Steve. It's gonna be fun. It's gonna be great.

1890
01:31:50,840 --> 01:31:54,519
Speaker 1: It'll be fun. That's the life. Yeah, right, a breakcare,

1891
01:31:54,520 --> 01:31:56,479
Speaker 1: We're coming back with another hour to go. Come on back.

1892
01:31:56,520 --> 01:31:58,760
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive, and this is

1893
01:31:58,800 --> 01:32:15,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radiolo Hills Radio Network Sports Update. The update

1894
01:32:15,240 --> 01:32:18,000
Speaker 1: from one Bills Drive. The Bills left here earlier today

1895
01:32:18,080 --> 01:32:20,479
Speaker 1: on their way to Spartanburg, South Carolina. They've got two

1896
01:32:20,520 --> 01:32:23,519
Speaker 1: days of practice coming up Tomorrow and Wednesday against the

1897
01:32:23,560 --> 01:32:26,840
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers at their training camp at Wafford College. Then

1898
01:32:26,880 --> 01:32:28,960
Speaker 1: they get ready to play the Panthers on Friday night.

1899
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:31,879
Speaker 1: They'll move the operation up to Charlotte, North Carolina on Thursday,

1900
01:32:32,160 --> 01:32:34,880
Speaker 1: play the Panthers on Friday night preseason game Number two.

1901
01:32:35,160 --> 01:32:38,360
Speaker 1: Bills left today. They'll have a walkthrough at the stadium

1902
01:32:38,360 --> 01:32:41,479
Speaker 1: at Wofford College late today and then first practice tomorrow

1903
01:32:41,479 --> 01:32:44,479
Speaker 1: morning nine fifteen on the field there. The Bills made

1904
01:32:44,520 --> 01:32:46,639
Speaker 1: a number of roster moves over the weekend. They acquired

1905
01:32:46,680 --> 01:32:50,240
Speaker 1: four players. On Friday, they acquired offensive lineman Ryan Bates

1906
01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:53,960
Speaker 1: and rookie from the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for defensimen

1907
01:32:54,040 --> 01:32:57,200
Speaker 1: Eli Herald. On Saturday, they put EJ. Gaines and Robert

1908
01:32:57,200 --> 01:33:00,599
Speaker 1: Thomas on injur reserve and release offensive lineman Nikos Ragusa,

1909
01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:04,800
Speaker 1: and signed three players veteran corner Captain Munlin, defensive tackle

1910
01:33:04,920 --> 01:33:08,519
Speaker 1: Roderick Young, and offensive lineman Demetrius Rainy. And then yesterday

1911
01:33:08,560 --> 01:33:11,839
Speaker 1: the Bills released veteran guard Blad Ducas and signed defensive

1912
01:33:11,920 --> 01:33:14,440
Speaker 1: end Sam Acho, all roster moves made by the Bills

1913
01:33:14,439 --> 01:33:16,479
Speaker 1: over the last couple of days. Getting set to play

1914
01:33:16,560 --> 01:33:21,040
Speaker 1: Carolina on Friday, practice against them tomorrow and Wednesday. Panthers

1915
01:33:21,040 --> 01:33:23,400
Speaker 1: head go Ron Rivera issued a statement today when he

1916
01:33:23,400 --> 01:33:25,960
Speaker 1: met with the media, and Spartberg said, if anyone fights

1917
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:28,320
Speaker 1: tomorrow during the Bills joined practices, I'm going to throw

1918
01:33:28,360 --> 01:33:30,639
Speaker 1: him out of practice. The only reason the guy fights

1919
01:33:30,760 --> 01:33:34,679
Speaker 1: is because he's frustrated he's getting beat. Panthers quarterback Cam

1920
01:33:34,680 --> 01:33:37,080
Speaker 1: Newton got the day off. He probably will be good

1921
01:33:37,080 --> 01:33:39,760
Speaker 1: to go for two full days of work joint practices

1922
01:33:39,800 --> 01:33:43,679
Speaker 1: between the Panthers and the Bills Tuesday and Wednesday. Oakland

1923
01:33:43,720 --> 01:33:45,800
Speaker 1: Raiders wide out Antonio Brown is not the only one

1924
01:33:45,800 --> 01:33:48,679
Speaker 1: who doesn't like his new helmet. Tom Brady, Patriots quarterback,

1925
01:33:48,720 --> 01:33:50,880
Speaker 1: says he's said an adjustment. You get used to a

1926
01:33:50,920 --> 01:33:53,439
Speaker 1: new helmet this year, experimenting with a couple of different ones.

1927
01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:56,599
Speaker 1: Says I'm in, but I don't have much of a choice.

1928
01:33:56,840 --> 01:33:59,080
Speaker 1: Brady said he understands the reason for the change, even

1929
01:33:59,120 --> 01:34:01,960
Speaker 1: as he struggles to adapt to it. Patriots acquired another

1930
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:05,160
Speaker 1: tight end as they continue to look for Rob Gronkowski's replacement.

1931
01:34:05,840 --> 01:34:08,320
Speaker 1: They sent a conditional sentence round Victor in Atlanta in

1932
01:34:08,400 --> 01:34:11,400
Speaker 1: exchange for Eric Sobert, according to NFL Network. And that

1933
01:34:11,560 --> 01:34:14,599
Speaker 1: is the update from One Bill's Drive. John Murphy, Steve Tasker.

1934
01:34:14,600 --> 01:34:18,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna be on the line with Andy Benoit, the MMQB.

1935
01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:20,800
Speaker 1: He's got some thoughts on the Bills and on training camp. Hey,

1936
01:34:20,840 --> 01:34:22,840
Speaker 1: before we moved forward, though, we were talking a little

1937
01:34:22,840 --> 01:34:25,800
Speaker 1: bit about you played in the first ever preseason game

1938
01:34:26,200 --> 01:34:28,559
Speaker 1: at Carolina right with the Buffalo Bills. Tell that story.

1939
01:34:28,560 --> 01:34:31,720
Speaker 1: It's a pretty good story. So it's the first year

1940
01:34:31,800 --> 01:34:33,800
Speaker 1: Chris Spielman's on our squad, right, we picked him up

1941
01:34:33,840 --> 01:34:36,439
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions later in his career and he's plays a

1942
01:34:36,439 --> 01:34:38,400
Speaker 1: couple of good years for us. But he's you know,

1943
01:34:39,120 --> 01:34:42,519
Speaker 1: he's kind of wound a little tight, and particularly for

1944
01:34:42,680 --> 01:34:45,160
Speaker 1: a Marv Levy training camp where we weren't hitting very

1945
01:34:45,240 --> 01:34:47,519
Speaker 1: much and all that, he's like, Wow, he couldn't wait

1946
01:34:47,520 --> 01:34:49,040
Speaker 1: to get it the first preseason game. So we get

1947
01:34:49,040 --> 01:34:51,919
Speaker 1: the first preseason game. It's in Carolina in their new stadium,

1948
01:34:52,040 --> 01:34:56,000
Speaker 1: first game ever. So Charlotte's in the Bible Belt. So

1949
01:34:56,080 --> 01:34:59,080
Speaker 1: what they do is they have this they're gonna bless

1950
01:34:59,120 --> 01:35:01,200
Speaker 1: the stadium before game. We're coming out of the tunnel

1951
01:35:01,240 --> 01:35:03,639
Speaker 1: and they hold our team up in the tunnel and

1952
01:35:03,760 --> 01:35:06,519
Speaker 1: Spielman's about his head's about to explode because he wants

1953
01:35:06,520 --> 01:35:09,679
Speaker 1: to get on the field and go, man, let's go go. Well,

1954
01:35:10,880 --> 01:35:13,160
Speaker 1: they're out on They got this little stage set up

1955
01:35:13,160 --> 01:35:14,320
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field and they're saying a

1956
01:35:14,360 --> 01:35:17,439
Speaker 1: prayer over the stadium to bless the stadium. And it's Jim.

1957
01:35:17,640 --> 01:35:22,280
Speaker 1: It's Billy Graham. It's Billy Graham who's blessing the stadium

1958
01:35:22,360 --> 01:35:28,720
Speaker 1: right and sphumans in the tunnel dog cussing Billy Graham

1959
01:35:29,680 --> 01:35:33,800
Speaker 1: not so he's standing there. Then he's standing on the

1960
01:35:33,840 --> 01:35:36,360
Speaker 1: side of the tunnel and he just he's beside himself.

1961
01:35:36,360 --> 01:35:38,799
Speaker 1: He's so angry and he's and it's and Billy Graham's

1962
01:35:38,800 --> 01:35:41,080
Speaker 1: offering him bless. All the guys are here, we're like

1963
01:35:41,320 --> 01:35:43,880
Speaker 1: scooting over to the other side of the tunnel because

1964
01:35:43,920 --> 01:35:48,720
Speaker 1: we are positive Spielman is gonna get struck by light. Positive.

1965
01:35:49,800 --> 01:35:51,080
Speaker 1: So they do their thing and we find it and

1966
01:35:51,120 --> 01:35:54,040
Speaker 1: we go out and we play the game. But was

1967
01:35:54,080 --> 01:35:59,120
Speaker 1: so ready to play, sorry because Billy Graham, No, how

1968
01:35:59,120 --> 01:36:01,559
Speaker 1: do you do that? He did not care. He was

1969
01:36:01,640 --> 01:36:05,960
Speaker 1: like game face on painted, taped up, full lather, Oh

1970
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:10,439
Speaker 1: my gosh. For preseason games. For yeah, right, he's playing

1971
01:36:10,479 --> 01:36:13,679
Speaker 1: like nine plays tops, What was the deal? Spielman would

1972
01:36:13,800 --> 01:36:15,240
Speaker 1: sleep in the hotel the night before the game with

1973
01:36:15,280 --> 01:36:17,960
Speaker 1: the windows wide open. He insisted on freezing on night

1974
01:36:18,040 --> 01:36:20,640
Speaker 1: or something. Well, man, I listen, you don't have We

1975
01:36:20,680 --> 01:36:22,760
Speaker 1: had to be there two hours before kickoff, right, You

1976
01:36:22,880 --> 01:36:24,479
Speaker 1: take about an hour to get taped up, get your

1977
01:36:24,479 --> 01:36:26,800
Speaker 1: stuff on, you go out an hour early. That was

1978
01:36:27,040 --> 01:36:29,160
Speaker 1: the thing. And one time we had family in town

1979
01:36:29,240 --> 01:36:31,120
Speaker 1: or whatever, and for some reason, I went from the hotel,

1980
01:36:31,160 --> 01:36:32,880
Speaker 1: I went to the stadium early, and I was there

1981
01:36:32,880 --> 01:36:36,920
Speaker 1: at like very early, like seven am, seven thirty. And

1982
01:36:36,960 --> 01:36:39,280
Speaker 1: I was gonna stop by the stadium early, go home

1983
01:36:39,320 --> 01:36:41,280
Speaker 1: real quick, and then come back right because I don't

1984
01:36:41,280 --> 01:36:43,680
Speaker 1: know what it was. I can't remember. I go in there.

1985
01:36:43,760 --> 01:36:46,880
Speaker 1: It's seven fifteen in the morning for a one o'clock game.

1986
01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:50,800
Speaker 1: Spielman's got his game pants on, his T shirt, he's

1987
01:36:50,800 --> 01:36:54,280
Speaker 1: got a bandan on his head, and he's and he's

1988
01:36:54,680 --> 01:36:59,240
Speaker 1: camped out like and sitting there just like reading, just

1989
01:36:59,320 --> 01:37:01,800
Speaker 1: waiting he's got his game pass. Every hey's taped up.

1990
01:37:02,040 --> 01:37:05,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, you're a goner. You are a goner.

1991
01:37:05,800 --> 01:37:07,679
Speaker 1: You know what's interesting if you talk to Spielman lately

1992
01:37:07,720 --> 01:37:10,120
Speaker 1: in recent years, I bump into him. He'll do some

1993
01:37:10,240 --> 01:37:13,760
Speaker 1: NFL games, and I think he works for Fox, right, Yeah, yeah,

1994
01:37:13,760 --> 01:37:17,439
Speaker 1: and he's totally different. Oh, he's totally like he just

1995
01:37:17,439 --> 01:37:20,880
Speaker 1: stopped one day and took a deep breath. Yes, he's great.

1996
01:37:21,280 --> 01:37:23,479
Speaker 1: I mean, he's Oh, he's great. I respected the way

1997
01:37:23,520 --> 01:37:25,880
Speaker 1: he prepared and the way he played, but he's just

1998
01:37:26,120 --> 01:37:28,519
Speaker 1: he's chilled now. And you would never describe him as

1999
01:37:28,520 --> 01:37:30,840
Speaker 1: being chill, and he was playing right, that's right, he's

2000
01:37:30,880 --> 01:37:33,720
Speaker 1: chilled now. Walk into their boothlet and we'll probably see

2001
01:37:33,760 --> 01:37:36,960
Speaker 1: him August twenty third in Detroit for that preseason game.

2002
01:37:36,960 --> 01:37:39,800
Speaker 1: I think he still does preseason lines football, and he'll

2003
01:37:39,840 --> 01:37:42,080
Speaker 1: be the nicest guy and just laid back and relaxed.

2004
01:37:42,120 --> 01:37:45,000
Speaker 1: And we come off our first ever opening practice of

2005
01:37:45,040 --> 01:37:48,400
Speaker 1: training camps. Some pads are on some morning practice, and

2006
01:37:49,320 --> 01:37:51,719
Speaker 1: you know, we're out there about an hour and thirty,

2007
01:37:52,080 --> 01:37:56,080
Speaker 1: maybe hour and twenty hour and twenty five. Marv brings

2008
01:37:56,160 --> 01:37:57,559
Speaker 1: us up Da da dada da you know he's talking

2009
01:37:57,600 --> 01:37:59,439
Speaker 1: to us head. Okay, guys, we'll all right, we'll see it.

2010
01:37:59,680 --> 01:38:01,720
Speaker 1: You know. I guess one, let's get practice. Will be

2011
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:04,960
Speaker 1: back out at like two o'clock from after practice we

2012
01:38:04,960 --> 01:38:09,120
Speaker 1: start to walk off, this Bilman's standing there looking around like, one,

2013
01:38:10,600 --> 01:38:13,639
Speaker 1: what are we gonna practice when we're gonna hit? Yeah,

2014
01:38:14,080 --> 01:38:15,960
Speaker 1: he didn't know how to act. That was a couple

2015
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:18,920
Speaker 1: of weeks before that Carolina game. Yeah, he didn't know

2016
01:38:18,920 --> 01:38:20,880
Speaker 1: what to do. Yeah, he was something. Oh my gosh,

2017
01:38:20,880 --> 01:38:23,200
Speaker 1: good stories. All right, we're gonna talk with Andy Benoit

2018
01:38:23,240 --> 01:38:26,680
Speaker 1: of MMQB in a moment about his team previews in

2019
01:38:26,720 --> 01:38:28,559
Speaker 1: the NFL, including the Buffalo Bills. A couple of things.

2020
01:38:28,600 --> 01:38:30,400
Speaker 1: I want to run by his steep, but first let's

2021
01:38:30,439 --> 01:38:33,040
Speaker 1: do the well, no, let me do this first. This

2022
01:38:33,240 --> 01:38:35,160
Speaker 1: just a Jets note that I never got in the update,

2023
01:38:35,360 --> 01:38:37,360
Speaker 1: but the Jets said one kicker on the roster when

2024
01:38:37,400 --> 01:38:40,280
Speaker 1: they went to camp. And he has retired Chandler Canton

2025
01:38:40,360 --> 01:38:43,360
Speaker 1: zero just four months after he rejoined the club, three

2026
01:38:43,439 --> 01:38:45,160
Speaker 1: days after he missed two or three extra points in

2027
01:38:45,240 --> 01:38:48,200
Speaker 1: the preseason opener, he retired twenty eight year old kicker

2028
01:38:48,479 --> 01:38:53,000
Speaker 1: Chandler Canton zero, twenty fourteen. Came into the league from Clemson,

2029
01:38:53,080 --> 01:38:56,400
Speaker 1: three seasons with Arizona, eighteen games or sixteen games with

2030
01:38:56,479 --> 01:39:00,200
Speaker 1: the Jets in twenty seventeen. Came back to the Jet's

2031
01:39:00,240 --> 01:39:02,439
Speaker 1: this offseason. He spent parts of last year with Carolina

2032
01:39:02,439 --> 01:39:05,400
Speaker 1: and Tampa Bay. Had enough, He said enough. Chandler Canton

2033
01:39:05,479 --> 01:39:08,960
Speaker 1: zero is out for the New York Jets. The Jets

2034
01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:12,719
Speaker 1: reportedly tried out former Bears kicker Chris Blewett and Taylor

2035
01:39:12,760 --> 01:39:16,200
Speaker 1: berdo Ley on Saturday. They signed Burdeley yesterday to hear

2036
01:39:16,240 --> 01:39:18,200
Speaker 1: plays Canton zero. And this is interesting. You know how

2037
01:39:18,280 --> 01:39:21,360
Speaker 1: much time we spent in the offseason on the instant

2038
01:39:21,400 --> 01:39:23,800
Speaker 1: replay review on pass interference. Right, So the league came

2039
01:39:23,800 --> 01:39:27,240
Speaker 1: out with these stats. The NFL reviewed seventeen instances of

2040
01:39:27,360 --> 01:39:30,479
Speaker 1: potential pass interference and reversed just two of the on

2041
01:39:30,600 --> 01:39:33,200
Speaker 1: field rulings in the first week of preseason. We're gonna

2042
01:39:33,200 --> 01:39:36,520
Speaker 1: probably get these numbers all season long. So seventeen instances

2043
01:39:36,680 --> 01:39:38,639
Speaker 1: where there was a review of pass interference, they only

2044
01:39:38,680 --> 01:39:41,040
Speaker 1: reversed two. As a result, there were a total of

2045
01:39:41,040 --> 01:39:43,360
Speaker 1: forty four reviews of all types in the first seventeen

2046
01:39:43,400 --> 01:39:46,599
Speaker 1: preseason games, an average of two point five nine per game.

2047
01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:49,200
Speaker 1: During the regular season, the replays are about one point

2048
01:39:49,200 --> 01:39:52,920
Speaker 1: three two per game. But look, I'm only basing this

2049
01:39:53,000 --> 01:39:56,320
Speaker 1: on one game and watched a couple of the preseason

2050
01:39:56,320 --> 01:39:58,800
Speaker 1: games over the weekend on tape. It seems to me

2051
01:39:59,479 --> 01:40:03,160
Speaker 1: if you initiate a replay review for past interference, whether

2052
01:40:03,320 --> 01:40:05,080
Speaker 1: a no call or a call, that you want the

2053
01:40:05,080 --> 01:40:07,559
Speaker 1: flag picked up. It seems to me early on here,

2054
01:40:07,600 --> 01:40:10,120
Speaker 1: and this could change. The standard is high. They're not

2055
01:40:10,160 --> 01:40:12,599
Speaker 1: gonna make it easy to reverse. The thing is very,

2056
01:40:12,840 --> 01:40:15,479
Speaker 1: very high. I agree with you. It does not. It

2057
01:40:15,560 --> 01:40:18,680
Speaker 1: does not make any sense to review an OPI or

2058
01:40:18,760 --> 01:40:22,000
Speaker 1: DPI offensive past interference or defensive paster interferis non call

2059
01:40:22,200 --> 01:40:24,680
Speaker 1: or called. Makes no sense to do it. They're not

2060
01:40:24,800 --> 01:40:27,479
Speaker 1: reversing anything unless it's egregious you and if you can't

2061
01:40:27,479 --> 01:40:31,559
Speaker 1: see it with your naked eye, don't even think about

2062
01:40:31,600 --> 01:40:33,920
Speaker 1: from the challenge flag. We'll see how that plays out.

2063
01:40:33,920 --> 01:40:36,479
Speaker 1: I just it's early. They're not going to review, they're

2064
01:40:36,520 --> 01:40:38,599
Speaker 1: not going to the close calls are not gonna get called,

2065
01:40:38,640 --> 01:40:40,880
Speaker 1: which is fine. I'm not advocating for that. Don't put

2066
01:40:40,880 --> 01:40:42,559
Speaker 1: the rule in. By the way, you know, we know

2067
01:40:42,600 --> 01:40:44,559
Speaker 1: why they put the rule in why they allowed replay

2068
01:40:44,600 --> 01:40:47,840
Speaker 1: review anyway, It was a knee jerk reaction. And I

2069
01:40:48,240 --> 01:40:50,160
Speaker 1: think they're gonna say they think they re of the

2070
01:40:50,160 --> 01:40:52,640
Speaker 1: powers that be realize it, and they put it in

2071
01:40:52,640 --> 01:40:54,519
Speaker 1: to shut the coaches up and sit them down. But

2072
01:40:54,520 --> 01:40:56,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna say, all right, we'll put the rule in,

2073
01:40:56,320 --> 01:40:58,519
Speaker 1: but you're not gonna get what you want. You know,

2074
01:40:58,520 --> 01:41:01,439
Speaker 1: We're gonna let it stands a one year rule right now.

2075
01:41:01,479 --> 01:41:03,400
Speaker 1: They have to review it after this year. All right,

2076
01:41:03,400 --> 01:41:05,200
Speaker 1: on the line with us right now. A frequent guest,

2077
01:41:05,200 --> 01:41:07,640
Speaker 1: one of our favorite guest, Columness for the MMQB Go,

2078
01:41:07,760 --> 01:41:11,960
Speaker 1: host of the MMQB podcast, Sports Illustrated NFL analyst Andy

2079
01:41:11,960 --> 01:41:13,880
Speaker 1: Benoi down the line with us. Hello, Andy, John Murphy

2080
01:41:13,880 --> 01:41:16,320
Speaker 1: seem tasker. We're in Buffalo. How are you doing today?

2081
01:41:16,760 --> 01:41:18,840
Speaker 1: Hey guys, I'm doing well. How are you do you?

2082
01:41:19,240 --> 01:41:21,120
Speaker 1: I want to get to the stuff you've been writing about.

2083
01:41:21,120 --> 01:41:24,000
Speaker 1: But you watch preseason this past weekend? Do you agree

2084
01:41:24,040 --> 01:41:26,599
Speaker 1: they seem to have a high standard for reversing past

2085
01:41:26,680 --> 01:41:29,559
Speaker 1: interference on the replay reviews? This so far one weekend?

2086
01:41:29,600 --> 01:41:33,040
Speaker 1: What do you see? Yeah, I would say, and I

2087
01:41:33,120 --> 01:41:35,360
Speaker 1: would imagine, I mean, I don't see how you could

2088
01:41:35,360 --> 01:41:36,920
Speaker 1: do it any other way. I think it has to

2089
01:41:36,960 --> 01:41:40,200
Speaker 1: be there only for the absolutely utterly egregious like the

2090
01:41:40,240 --> 01:41:42,360
Speaker 1: one we saw in the championship game that got this

2091
01:41:42,439 --> 01:41:45,600
Speaker 1: whole thing started. And remember, in the preseason, they're going

2092
01:41:45,680 --> 01:41:49,320
Speaker 1: to also officiate everything a little more rigidly. They're gonna

2093
01:41:49,360 --> 01:41:52,400
Speaker 1: make it a little bit harder on the players and

2094
01:41:52,479 --> 01:41:54,960
Speaker 1: coaches to get their way with things, so penalties get

2095
01:41:55,040 --> 01:41:58,800
Speaker 1: enforced a little stricter, challenges probably have a higher definition

2096
01:41:58,840 --> 01:42:01,840
Speaker 1: at times for all. And that's just the nature of

2097
01:42:01,840 --> 01:42:05,280
Speaker 1: the preseason. Everybody's feeling their way with this. Honestly, guys,

2098
01:42:05,360 --> 01:42:07,600
Speaker 1: I still don't think this whole past interference thing is

2099
01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:09,280
Speaker 1: going to take on much of a life. To me,

2100
01:42:09,360 --> 01:42:12,200
Speaker 1: it feels a lot like the helmet discussion. I think

2101
01:42:12,240 --> 01:42:14,200
Speaker 1: that was a year ago that we had that where

2102
01:42:14,600 --> 01:42:17,280
Speaker 1: the new rule was lowering your head anybody who does

2103
01:42:17,320 --> 01:42:19,920
Speaker 1: it subject to the penalty, and everybody said, well, that

2104
01:42:19,960 --> 01:42:23,160
Speaker 1: could happen on any play. You're going to change football forever.

2105
01:42:23,640 --> 01:42:26,000
Speaker 1: And by the end of September, no one had remembered

2106
01:42:26,040 --> 01:42:28,519
Speaker 1: anything about that rule because it was never enforced. It's

2107
01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:30,840
Speaker 1: just on the books of the technicality. I don't know

2108
01:42:30,880 --> 01:42:32,639
Speaker 1: if it'll be quite like that. But I don't think

2109
01:42:32,640 --> 01:42:35,840
Speaker 1: this thing's going to be a story come October. Goods

2110
01:42:36,160 --> 01:42:38,120
Speaker 1: and you talked a little bit about you. He gave

2111
01:42:38,160 --> 01:42:41,360
Speaker 1: your twenty nineteen previews, and I was we'll get to

2112
01:42:41,360 --> 01:42:43,080
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills and men. I want to ask you anything.

2113
01:42:43,120 --> 01:42:46,400
Speaker 1: Is there any teams around the league good or bad?

2114
01:42:46,600 --> 01:42:48,639
Speaker 1: Like is there a great team or a contender that's

2115
01:42:48,640 --> 01:42:50,599
Speaker 1: probably going to take a step back in your opinion,

2116
01:42:50,720 --> 01:42:53,519
Speaker 1: or anybody from the weeds that is going to jump

2117
01:42:53,560 --> 01:42:56,599
Speaker 1: into the center stage. Any surprises like that in your previews?

2118
01:42:58,080 --> 01:43:00,840
Speaker 1: I think one that might be surprised people as I

2119
01:43:01,160 --> 01:43:04,120
Speaker 1: see the Chicago Bears taking a step back this year,

2120
01:43:04,280 --> 01:43:07,240
Speaker 1: and not necessarily all about them. I think that's a

2121
01:43:07,240 --> 01:43:12,000
Speaker 1: tough division that they're in. But losing Vic Fangio defensive coordinator,

2122
01:43:12,040 --> 01:43:14,840
Speaker 1: to me, that's an enormous loss, especially given what they

2123
01:43:14,880 --> 01:43:19,440
Speaker 1: have on defense. I think their defense and particularly their secondary,

2124
01:43:19,840 --> 01:43:22,639
Speaker 1: was really well equipped to play in fangio scheme, which

2125
01:43:22,680 --> 01:43:26,360
Speaker 1: is basically built on blurry too deep zone coverages and

2126
01:43:26,520 --> 01:43:30,680
Speaker 1: hybrid zone coverages. Chuck Pogano, I'm guessing will play a

2127
01:43:30,680 --> 01:43:33,080
Speaker 1: lot of one deep man to man stuff because he

2128
01:43:33,120 --> 01:43:35,360
Speaker 1: likes the blitz. He's had a lot of success with

2129
01:43:35,439 --> 01:43:38,120
Speaker 1: that over the years. I don't think that approach is

2130
01:43:38,120 --> 01:43:40,720
Speaker 1: as conducive to their talent on defense in Chicago. I

2131
01:43:40,720 --> 01:43:42,879
Speaker 1: don't think their corners are quite those kind of players.

2132
01:43:43,200 --> 01:43:45,840
Speaker 1: So the Bears, to me, I think it's they get

2133
01:43:45,880 --> 01:43:48,799
Speaker 1: five percent worse and it might be a thirty percent

2134
01:43:48,880 --> 01:43:51,400
Speaker 1: drop in their record one of those situations, and then

2135
01:43:51,400 --> 01:43:54,320
Speaker 1: a team I like to go the other way, assuming

2136
01:43:54,320 --> 01:43:56,639
Speaker 1: everyone stays healthy. And it was not the case last

2137
01:43:56,720 --> 01:43:58,439
Speaker 1: year and it does not so far look like the

2138
01:43:58,479 --> 01:44:01,040
Speaker 1: case this year. But at the forty Niners have their

2139
01:44:01,080 --> 01:44:04,280
Speaker 1: personnel in place. To me, that's an eleven and five

2140
01:44:04,400 --> 01:44:07,559
Speaker 1: caliber team plus or minus. There one more I got

2141
01:44:07,560 --> 01:44:10,559
Speaker 1: one more about the Benoydan really about the NFC North Andy,

2142
01:44:10,600 --> 01:44:13,519
Speaker 1: who's the biggest challengers to the Bears in the North.

2143
01:44:13,520 --> 01:44:16,400
Speaker 1: Who's getting better? I think all three of those teams

2144
01:44:16,400 --> 01:44:19,120
Speaker 1: are better than a year ago. I really do. The

2145
01:44:19,240 --> 01:44:21,800
Speaker 1: Vikings to me, are similar to the team they were

2146
01:44:21,840 --> 01:44:25,360
Speaker 1: two years ago, and their offensive identities a little more

2147
01:44:25,880 --> 01:44:29,720
Speaker 1: defined this year, and with Gary Kubiak there and it's

2148
01:44:29,760 --> 01:44:31,679
Speaker 1: not going to be his offense, they'll be his scheme.

2149
01:44:31,720 --> 01:44:35,000
Speaker 1: But Kevin Stefanski, their coordinator, is going to run that offense.

2150
01:44:35,040 --> 01:44:37,960
Speaker 1: I think he's one of the really good young offensive

2151
01:44:37,960 --> 01:44:40,439
Speaker 1: minds in the league, especially in the passing game, and

2152
01:44:40,479 --> 01:44:43,400
Speaker 1: what they're doing really fits Kirk Cousins style of play.

2153
01:44:43,400 --> 01:44:45,759
Speaker 1: And it's still a good defense with everyone in their prime.

2154
01:44:46,560 --> 01:44:48,800
Speaker 1: The Packers, I'm curious to see how things go with

2155
01:44:48,880 --> 01:44:51,720
Speaker 1: Matt Laflora and Aaron Rodgers. I think the systems the

2156
01:44:51,840 --> 01:44:54,479
Speaker 1: right move for Rogers. Will see how it plays out.

2157
01:44:54,479 --> 01:44:56,240
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of talent there in Green Bay

2158
01:44:56,640 --> 01:45:00,000
Speaker 1: defense should be better and Detroit. They're not the most

2159
01:45:00,120 --> 01:45:03,160
Speaker 1: talented roster by any means in that division, but in

2160
01:45:03,160 --> 01:45:05,680
Speaker 1: a lot in some ways, they have the fewest weaknesses.

2161
01:45:05,920 --> 01:45:08,040
Speaker 1: They don't have a lot of holes in their roster,

2162
01:45:08,640 --> 01:45:12,200
Speaker 1: and I think they'll be more comfortable in year two

2163
01:45:12,280 --> 01:45:17,160
Speaker 1: under Matt Patricia. You also wrote something andy about the

2164
01:45:17,160 --> 01:45:20,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills running game behind a revamped offensive line. We

2165
01:45:20,200 --> 01:45:22,240
Speaker 1: talk about it here all day every day, about the

2166
01:45:22,479 --> 01:45:25,320
Speaker 1: efforts they've made to upgrade the people around Josh Allen

2167
01:45:25,720 --> 01:45:27,479
Speaker 1: and not so much. I don't want you to talk

2168
01:45:27,520 --> 01:45:30,280
Speaker 1: so much about Josh Allen as a quarterback as much

2169
01:45:30,320 --> 01:45:33,240
Speaker 1: as this running game that may help him on the

2170
01:45:33,240 --> 01:45:34,920
Speaker 1: back end. What are your thoughts about where they are

2171
01:45:34,920 --> 01:45:36,800
Speaker 1: with the offensive line and what that could mean to

2172
01:45:36,880 --> 01:45:39,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen Well, I think they have a change to

2173
01:45:39,600 --> 01:45:42,040
Speaker 1: have a pretty good running game there and Buffalo they

2174
01:45:42,080 --> 01:45:46,599
Speaker 1: have really solid professional tailback. So the designs you can

2175
01:45:46,640 --> 01:45:49,519
Speaker 1: trust will be executed as they're drawn up. What they

2176
01:45:49,520 --> 01:45:52,320
Speaker 1: didn't have a year ago was enough athleticism to run

2177
01:45:52,360 --> 01:45:55,360
Speaker 1: every kind of run, especially a guard and center. They

2178
01:45:55,479 --> 01:45:58,600
Speaker 1: just were lacking there. So anything with poll blockers or

2179
01:45:58,640 --> 01:46:00,960
Speaker 1: even some of the outside ze stuff where you need

2180
01:46:01,080 --> 01:46:04,639
Speaker 1: mobile and tior linemen, they didn't have a fighting chance.

2181
01:46:04,960 --> 01:46:07,280
Speaker 1: They have that now. It's not a great line, but

2182
01:46:07,479 --> 01:46:09,519
Speaker 1: if it has the potential to be a very good one,

2183
01:46:09,600 --> 01:46:11,960
Speaker 1: and we'll see if the pieces all fit. They got

2184
01:46:12,120 --> 01:46:15,000
Speaker 1: what four new guys or guys in four new spots

2185
01:46:15,080 --> 01:46:21,599
Speaker 1: up front? Can we lose them? Are you there? Andy? Lost? Yeah?

2186
01:46:21,720 --> 01:46:23,400
Speaker 1: That sounded like a drop the call right there. I

2187
01:46:23,439 --> 01:46:25,160
Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, we're gonna try to reconnect in that

2188
01:46:25,280 --> 01:46:28,200
Speaker 1: running game. Andy. Let me kind of follow up with that.

2189
01:46:28,600 --> 01:46:33,280
Speaker 1: Is focusing on the running game, the right methodology for

2190
01:46:33,320 --> 01:46:35,360
Speaker 1: the Bills or anybody in the NFL. Some people think

2191
01:46:35,560 --> 01:46:37,439
Speaker 1: forget about running the football. You need to throw it

2192
01:46:37,520 --> 01:46:41,320
Speaker 1: these days. Yeah, you could, you could say that. I

2193
01:46:41,920 --> 01:46:45,280
Speaker 1: think really there's two schools. I thought, there's the teams

2194
01:46:45,320 --> 01:46:47,040
Speaker 1: that can just drop back and throw it, and those

2195
01:46:47,040 --> 01:46:49,719
Speaker 1: are the teams that have a great quarterback. You're Tom Brady's,

2196
01:46:49,720 --> 01:46:52,479
Speaker 1: your Drew brees Is types. And when those teams do that,

2197
01:46:52,560 --> 01:46:55,280
Speaker 1: understand they're throwing short and underneath a lot, so it's

2198
01:46:55,280 --> 01:46:57,960
Speaker 1: not like they're just wheeling and dealing all over the field.

2199
01:46:58,240 --> 01:47:00,000
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of how they choose to get

2200
01:47:00,080 --> 01:47:02,760
Speaker 1: the ball in space. And the Patriots, by the way,

2201
01:47:02,479 --> 01:47:04,760
Speaker 1: they don't do that unless they have to anymore. They're

2202
01:47:04,800 --> 01:47:08,639
Speaker 1: pretty power run oriented anymore. But I don't know if

2203
01:47:08,720 --> 01:47:10,800
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's a kind of quarterback you can do that

2204
01:47:10,840 --> 01:47:13,040
Speaker 1: with guys. I don't think he's a down to down

2205
01:47:13,479 --> 01:47:17,040
Speaker 1: precision accuracy passer. And it's hard to stay on schedule

2206
01:47:17,360 --> 01:47:20,120
Speaker 1: when you're having completions here there. So then all the

2207
01:47:20,160 --> 01:47:22,000
Speaker 1: other school of thought is, all right, we're gonna be

2208
01:47:22,040 --> 01:47:24,160
Speaker 1: a run based offense, but that doesn't mean we're going

2209
01:47:24,200 --> 01:47:26,439
Speaker 1: to just run the ball in smash mouth at all

2210
01:47:26,439 --> 01:47:29,360
Speaker 1: the time. It also means we're gonna build our passing

2211
01:47:29,400 --> 01:47:33,559
Speaker 1: concepts directly off of our running concepts and really intertwine those,

2212
01:47:33,880 --> 01:47:35,600
Speaker 1: And that, to me is the way you have to

2213
01:47:35,640 --> 01:47:38,160
Speaker 1: play with Alan and part because when you build your

2214
01:47:38,160 --> 01:47:41,120
Speaker 1: passing concepts off your run game, you tend to have

2215
01:47:41,320 --> 01:47:46,160
Speaker 1: deeper dropbacks, deeper passes down field. And that is Alan's strength,

2216
01:47:46,200 --> 01:47:48,200
Speaker 1: not just because he throws the ball really hard and far,

2217
01:47:48,640 --> 01:47:52,040
Speaker 1: but because those throws downfield are not necessarily timing and

2218
01:47:52,120 --> 01:47:54,640
Speaker 1: rhythm throws, not in the same way as the hour underneath.

2219
01:47:54,920 --> 01:47:58,800
Speaker 1: And if you're not an overly precise, accurate passer, there's

2220
01:47:58,800 --> 01:48:01,000
Speaker 1: a little more margin for air when you throw the

2221
01:48:01,040 --> 01:48:03,400
Speaker 1: ball down field. The longer the ball flies through the air,

2222
01:48:03,800 --> 01:48:06,639
Speaker 1: the more margin of air. In theory, the more margin

2223
01:48:06,680 --> 01:48:13,120
Speaker 1: of it. Andy, you want to ask you if you're

2224
01:48:13,120 --> 01:48:18,880
Speaker 1: still there? You still are? Andy? Yeah? Blowesome. I'm gonna

2225
01:48:18,880 --> 01:48:21,760
Speaker 1: try to Reconnectnet to ask him too. Next about I

2226
01:48:21,800 --> 01:48:23,840
Speaker 1: get the offensive line is supposed to be better stuff?

2227
01:48:23,880 --> 01:48:25,880
Speaker 1: What about Cole Beasley, John Brown? How much of a

2228
01:48:25,880 --> 01:48:27,960
Speaker 1: difference he expects them to make? For a quarterback? And

2229
01:48:28,240 --> 01:48:30,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I've always told you, Murph, I've always thought

2230
01:48:31,240 --> 01:48:34,519
Speaker 1: it's the quarterback that makes the receivers. But certainly coaching

2231
01:48:34,560 --> 01:48:36,759
Speaker 1: has a huge effect on it, and the guys around

2232
01:48:36,800 --> 01:48:38,920
Speaker 1: him doing the things they do well, like John Brown,

2233
01:48:39,000 --> 01:48:43,360
Speaker 1: like Cole Beasley, gives maybe gives Josh Allen some options

2234
01:48:43,360 --> 01:48:45,640
Speaker 1: he hasn't had before. He certainly didn't have those, at

2235
01:48:45,680 --> 01:48:47,280
Speaker 1: least not in his last year at while. I mean,

2236
01:48:47,320 --> 01:48:49,880
Speaker 1: he didn't have him last year. And to get coached

2237
01:48:49,880 --> 01:48:52,639
Speaker 1: to take this easy completion rather than try the hard throw.

2238
01:48:52,640 --> 01:48:55,840
Speaker 1: I want to see what Andy, Steve Stephen, John Again,

2239
01:48:55,840 --> 01:48:57,559
Speaker 1: I wanted to take pick up on your last point.

2240
01:48:57,560 --> 01:49:00,320
Speaker 1: I know that the offensive line of the Buffalo Bills

2241
01:49:00,080 --> 01:49:03,320
Speaker 1: have been revamped. How much do you think Cole Beasley,

2242
01:49:03,400 --> 01:49:07,320
Speaker 1: John Brown and a revamped receiving corps and their ability

2243
01:49:07,360 --> 01:49:11,680
Speaker 1: to get separation short will help Josh Allen, you know,

2244
01:49:11,760 --> 01:49:14,120
Speaker 1: take the easier passes and open up, you know, and

2245
01:49:14,200 --> 01:49:17,360
Speaker 1: just open up a different level of passing game. Yeah,

2246
01:49:17,400 --> 01:49:20,280
Speaker 1: I've thought a lot about beas to me, John Brown

2247
01:49:20,400 --> 01:49:22,839
Speaker 1: to answer that one. He's more of a vertical receiver

2248
01:49:22,920 --> 01:49:24,880
Speaker 1: in my mind. I think he'll fit what they do.

2249
01:49:25,200 --> 01:49:27,559
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of similarities to Robert Foster. I

2250
01:49:27,560 --> 01:49:30,599
Speaker 1: think those are two really good vertical weapons. I don't

2251
01:49:30,600 --> 01:49:33,800
Speaker 1: know if they're complete receivers at this point, but I

2252
01:49:33,800 --> 01:49:36,240
Speaker 1: think he'll fit what they do for taking deep shots

2253
01:49:36,240 --> 01:49:37,960
Speaker 1: off of their running game, which they're going to do

2254
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:40,519
Speaker 1: a lot this year. Beasley, to me is the interesting

2255
01:49:40,520 --> 01:49:43,360
Speaker 1: one because typically, I mean where he's great is getting

2256
01:49:43,400 --> 01:49:48,200
Speaker 1: separation underneath those option routes, those speed out routes, shallow

2257
01:49:48,240 --> 01:49:52,960
Speaker 1: crosses typically, those kind of designs you find and a

2258
01:49:53,040 --> 01:49:56,080
Speaker 1: quick strike, timing and rhythm offense. Think about like West

2259
01:49:56,080 --> 01:49:59,200
Speaker 1: Welker years ago in Denver, or what Edelman has been

2260
01:49:59,240 --> 01:50:02,840
Speaker 1: in New England, those kind of receivers Jamison Crowder for

2261
01:50:02,880 --> 01:50:05,880
Speaker 1: the Redskins now he's with the Jets. Those underneath receivers

2262
01:50:05,920 --> 01:50:08,400
Speaker 1: tend to play in that kind of system. And I again,

2263
01:50:08,439 --> 01:50:10,800
Speaker 1: I don't think Alan dak kind of quarterback. I don't

2264
01:50:10,840 --> 01:50:14,479
Speaker 1: think he's a timing precision type at QB. But Beasley

2265
01:50:14,600 --> 01:50:17,320
Speaker 1: was very effective in Dallas, and Dak Prescott was really

2266
01:50:17,320 --> 01:50:20,519
Speaker 1: not a timing and precision type of passer either. Alan's

2267
01:50:20,600 --> 01:50:23,519
Speaker 1: much more similar to Prescott than he is to a

2268
01:50:23,680 --> 01:50:27,160
Speaker 1: Brady or a Manning stylistically as a thrower. So I'm

2269
01:50:27,200 --> 01:50:29,200
Speaker 1: curious to see how it goes because Beasley is a

2270
01:50:29,200 --> 01:50:32,080
Speaker 1: little bit unconventional in that way, I think he's gonna

2271
01:50:32,120 --> 01:50:35,560
Speaker 1: have to be patient and understand that he's going to

2272
01:50:35,640 --> 01:50:38,240
Speaker 1: get the ball at weird times in the downs. Sometimes

2273
01:50:38,280 --> 01:50:39,880
Speaker 1: he's not going to get the ball the second he

2274
01:50:39,920 --> 01:50:42,519
Speaker 1: turns open. He might have to dance around a little

2275
01:50:42,520 --> 01:50:45,240
Speaker 1: bit here and there and improvise, and that might take

2276
01:50:45,280 --> 01:50:48,200
Speaker 1: some time to build that kind of chemistry. Andy Benoid

2277
01:50:48,280 --> 01:50:50,320
Speaker 1: from n MQB is our guest. He has written a

2278
01:50:51,160 --> 01:50:53,760
Speaker 1: preview of every team in the NFL, including the Buffalo Bills.

2279
01:50:53,840 --> 01:50:57,200
Speaker 1: What do you see for the Buffalo defense in twenty nineteen, Andy,

2280
01:50:58,080 --> 01:51:00,680
Speaker 1: It's a good defense. It's a better defense as a

2281
01:51:00,680 --> 01:51:03,320
Speaker 1: whole than it is the sum of its parts. I

2282
01:51:03,360 --> 01:51:05,559
Speaker 1: thought it was really well coached last year, the last

2283
01:51:05,560 --> 01:51:08,360
Speaker 1: couple of years. Sean McDermott does a nice job. I

2284
01:51:08,640 --> 01:51:11,479
Speaker 1: wouldn't say it's a very complex or even a high

2285
01:51:11,520 --> 01:51:14,320
Speaker 1: volume scheme. They tend to do just a few different things,

2286
01:51:14,640 --> 01:51:17,200
Speaker 1: but they do those things very well. They change them

2287
01:51:17,280 --> 01:51:20,320
Speaker 1: up steadily. They'll disguise it just a bit when they

2288
01:51:20,360 --> 01:51:22,759
Speaker 1: need to, and a lot of what they do starts

2289
01:51:22,760 --> 01:51:25,600
Speaker 1: with their double A gap fronts on passing downs, so

2290
01:51:25,800 --> 01:51:29,320
Speaker 1: they're dictating your protection. That McDermott has a really good

2291
01:51:29,439 --> 01:51:32,920
Speaker 1: understanding of how protections work, not just for getting pressure

2292
01:51:32,920 --> 01:51:36,040
Speaker 1: and beating the protection, but also for understanding, Okay, if

2293
01:51:36,080 --> 01:51:38,960
Speaker 1: we're forcing them into this protection, that's going to change

2294
01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:40,920
Speaker 1: what they can do with the routes on this side

2295
01:51:40,920 --> 01:51:42,800
Speaker 1: of the field or routes on that side of the field.

2296
01:51:43,000 --> 01:51:46,200
Speaker 1: And we can wrinkle and shape some of our coverages accordingly.

2297
01:51:46,479 --> 01:51:48,880
Speaker 1: So they do a lot of little things right. My

2298
01:51:49,040 --> 01:51:51,880
Speaker 1: overarching concern with the defense, it's the steam one is

2299
01:51:51,920 --> 01:51:54,000
Speaker 1: a year ago, is they really don't have a lot

2300
01:51:54,000 --> 01:51:57,000
Speaker 1: of pass rushers there. They have a deep defensive line.

2301
01:51:57,000 --> 01:51:59,120
Speaker 1: They're too deep at every line spot. They have two

2302
01:51:59,160 --> 01:52:01,360
Speaker 1: guys that can come in play, so they have eight

2303
01:52:01,400 --> 01:52:03,240
Speaker 1: men that they can rotate, and that's a big deal.

2304
01:52:03,400 --> 01:52:05,280
Speaker 1: You want to keep everyone fresh, and I'm sure they'll

2305
01:52:05,280 --> 01:52:08,400
Speaker 1: do that. But there's nobody up front that scares you

2306
01:52:08,479 --> 01:52:11,200
Speaker 1: other than maybe Jerry Hughes, and that kind of depends

2307
01:52:11,200 --> 01:52:13,240
Speaker 1: on what kind of offensive tackle you have. Hughs is

2308
01:52:13,240 --> 01:52:16,719
Speaker 1: a very good bull rusher. He's okay on the speed

2309
01:52:16,760 --> 01:52:18,880
Speaker 1: and bending the edge, but he's more of a bull

2310
01:52:18,960 --> 01:52:20,880
Speaker 1: rusher type and he's really the only one that has

2311
01:52:20,960 --> 01:52:25,680
Speaker 1: attributes that jump out Lorenzo Alexander does at times. I

2312
01:52:26,040 --> 01:52:27,280
Speaker 1: know who they were. I know he had to be

2313
01:52:27,360 --> 01:52:29,800
Speaker 1: used a linebacker down the stretch last year. I will

2314
01:52:29,800 --> 01:52:31,800
Speaker 1: see where he plays. My guests is he'll wind up

2315
01:52:31,800 --> 01:52:34,320
Speaker 1: playing all over again. I just don't see a lot

2316
01:52:34,360 --> 01:52:37,360
Speaker 1: of firepower there, guys, And maybe at Oliver changed his

2317
01:52:37,360 --> 01:52:38,920
Speaker 1: app but you know, we'll see what he is in

2318
01:52:38,960 --> 01:52:42,080
Speaker 1: the NFL. With Andy and Andy, I wanted to ask

2319
01:52:42,120 --> 01:52:45,520
Speaker 1: you a little bit of a roundabout question. Around the AFCs.

2320
01:52:45,600 --> 01:52:48,439
Speaker 1: You see the quarterbacks that starts with Tom Brady, and

2321
01:52:48,479 --> 01:52:50,519
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you to Josh Rosen, Brian

2322
01:52:50,520 --> 01:52:53,840
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick down in Miami, and of course Sam Darnold in

2323
01:52:53,880 --> 01:52:57,439
Speaker 1: New York. Tom Brady business as usual and it's hard

2324
01:52:57,479 --> 01:53:00,120
Speaker 1: to picture any division where he wouldn't be the best quarterback.

2325
01:53:00,160 --> 01:53:03,640
Speaker 1: But do you see any decline in his player? And

2326
01:53:03,640 --> 01:53:06,280
Speaker 1: what do you expect their offense to look like this

2327
01:53:06,360 --> 01:53:09,519
Speaker 1: year after became a run offense last year? I think

2328
01:53:09,520 --> 01:53:12,000
Speaker 1: it'll stick with the run offense approach. They've got the

2329
01:53:12,040 --> 01:53:14,599
Speaker 1: line for They drafted a running back in the third round,

2330
01:53:14,640 --> 01:53:18,240
Speaker 1: and they were already three quality backs deep in that spot,

2331
01:53:18,280 --> 01:53:21,120
Speaker 1: plus fullback James Devlin so they have a lot of

2332
01:53:21,160 --> 01:53:23,680
Speaker 1: different running back personnel. My guess is they're going to

2333
01:53:23,840 --> 01:53:26,760
Speaker 1: rotate each week and kind of feature one guy over

2334
01:53:26,800 --> 01:53:30,320
Speaker 1: the other depending on the opponent. And they did very

2335
01:53:30,360 --> 01:53:32,400
Speaker 1: well with that last year. And they understand when we

2336
01:53:32,479 --> 01:53:34,840
Speaker 1: need to count on our passing game, we have Tom

2337
01:53:34,840 --> 01:53:36,960
Speaker 1: Brady and we're able to do that. We're not going

2338
01:53:37,000 --> 01:53:38,680
Speaker 1: to do that for four quarters where we don't have

2339
01:53:38,720 --> 01:53:42,120
Speaker 1: those kind of receivers right now, but we can always

2340
01:53:42,160 --> 01:53:44,200
Speaker 1: go to when we need to. And as the season

2341
01:53:44,320 --> 01:53:47,120
Speaker 1: goes along, the offense tends to evolve. So the Patriot

2342
01:53:47,160 --> 01:53:50,000
Speaker 1: offense we see in September is probably not the one

2343
01:53:50,040 --> 01:53:53,960
Speaker 1: we'll see come December or January. And I wouldn't have

2344
01:53:54,000 --> 01:53:58,200
Speaker 1: any worries about whatever direction it goes in Andy Dolphins, right,

2345
01:53:58,280 --> 01:54:01,160
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick is such a familiar your figure here and around

2346
01:54:01,200 --> 01:54:04,200
Speaker 1: the league now and yet but yet, even though he

2347
01:54:04,240 --> 01:54:06,479
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be getting much in regard, you think

2348
01:54:06,560 --> 01:54:09,120
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen has something to offer the Dolphins and will

2349
01:54:09,320 --> 01:54:13,519
Speaker 1: most likely offer it this season. You think you'll play huh, well, yeah, yeah,

2350
01:54:13,520 --> 01:54:16,400
Speaker 1: because with all due respect to Ryan Fitzpatrick, given the

2351
01:54:16,439 --> 01:54:19,360
Speaker 1: circumstances in Miami, and I don't believe they're tanking at all,

2352
01:54:19,400 --> 01:54:22,880
Speaker 1: but I do believe they're definitely rebuilding, and I think

2353
01:54:22,920 --> 01:54:25,599
Speaker 1: they know that their roster will probably be fifty percent

2354
01:54:25,680 --> 01:54:29,120
Speaker 1: overhauled after this season. So it's a work in progress

2355
01:54:29,240 --> 01:54:34,080
Speaker 1: roster and less Fitzpatrick is worlds better than Josh Rosen,

2356
01:54:34,160 --> 01:54:37,800
Speaker 1: which he's not, and he hasn't been in this camp.

2357
01:54:37,840 --> 01:54:39,800
Speaker 1: He maybe was out of the gates for a few days,

2358
01:54:39,800 --> 01:54:42,600
Speaker 1: but it's leveled off, which that tends to happen with Fitzpatrick.

2359
01:54:43,440 --> 01:54:45,560
Speaker 1: I don't understand why you would play him at all

2360
01:54:45,640 --> 01:54:47,520
Speaker 1: this year when you traded a second round pick for

2361
01:54:47,640 --> 01:54:50,160
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen, who has a lot of attributes that you

2362
01:54:50,240 --> 01:54:53,000
Speaker 1: look for in an NFL quarterback and showed a lot

2363
01:54:53,000 --> 01:54:54,960
Speaker 1: of positive signs last year. He needs to be a

2364
01:54:55,040 --> 01:54:58,560
Speaker 1: lot more consistent, but he was in a horrible circumstance

2365
01:54:58,560 --> 01:55:01,240
Speaker 1: in Arizona and he's not in a great one in Miami.

2366
01:55:01,320 --> 01:55:03,560
Speaker 1: But the point is that's, I mean, that's you're not

2367
01:55:03,560 --> 01:55:05,800
Speaker 1: going to play with Fitzpatrick next year or two years

2368
01:55:05,800 --> 01:55:08,560
Speaker 1: from now. So unless again, unless you don't feel you

2369
01:55:08,560 --> 01:55:11,880
Speaker 1: can be competitive with Rosen, I wouldn't. I would play

2370
01:55:11,960 --> 01:55:14,160
Speaker 1: him every single snap for sixteen games this year, and

2371
01:55:14,240 --> 01:55:15,920
Speaker 1: I think he guys he has a chance to be

2372
01:55:15,960 --> 01:55:18,880
Speaker 1: a good NFL quarterback. He is a timing and rhythm player.

2373
01:55:19,280 --> 01:55:23,160
Speaker 1: He is a very very accurate passer. He understands the

2374
01:55:23,240 --> 01:55:25,960
Speaker 1: scheduling of the NFL. He's willing to play from the pocket.

2375
01:55:26,280 --> 01:55:28,040
Speaker 1: He needs to get a little bit better and more

2376
01:55:28,080 --> 01:55:30,520
Speaker 1: consistent in everything, but that's gonna be true of any

2377
01:55:30,560 --> 01:55:33,440
Speaker 1: guy at this stage of their career, especially ones who

2378
01:55:33,440 --> 01:55:36,440
Speaker 1: have played with some of the lesser teammates that he's

2379
01:55:36,480 --> 01:55:38,640
Speaker 1: been stuck with in Arizona and now here in Miami.

2380
01:55:39,480 --> 01:55:41,280
Speaker 1: What do you mean? He understands the schedule of playing

2381
01:55:41,320 --> 01:55:42,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL. What do you have in mind there?

2382
01:55:43,040 --> 01:55:47,080
Speaker 1: He understands why plays are called and how plays work

2383
01:55:47,200 --> 01:55:50,320
Speaker 1: related to the coverage. So a lot of young quarterbacks is, hey,

2384
01:55:50,400 --> 01:55:52,560
Speaker 1: here's my read, than my next three, than my next read.

2385
01:55:52,920 --> 01:55:55,880
Speaker 1: He understands the next layer of that, which is, here's

2386
01:55:55,920 --> 01:55:58,080
Speaker 1: why the read is what it is, and here's when

2387
01:55:58,080 --> 01:55:59,680
Speaker 1: I can get off of this one quicker and on

2388
01:55:59,760 --> 01:56:02,760
Speaker 1: the next one. Because he understands the nature of an

2389
01:56:02,920 --> 01:56:06,560
Speaker 1: entire passing play rather than just the individual pieces of

2390
01:56:06,600 --> 01:56:10,720
Speaker 1: a passing play. So he's just a complete overall distributor

2391
01:56:10,720 --> 01:56:13,520
Speaker 1: of the football, Andy, I just got one last question

2392
01:56:13,560 --> 01:56:15,440
Speaker 1: for you. It's about two of the teams in the

2393
01:56:15,440 --> 01:56:18,800
Speaker 1: AFC that have huge expectations that Indianapolis Colts. I know,

2394
01:56:18,960 --> 01:56:20,800
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck is injured, you got to think that a

2395
01:56:20,880 --> 01:56:22,760
Speaker 1: calf injury is going to come back at some point.

2396
01:56:22,760 --> 01:56:25,840
Speaker 1: And Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns two teams that

2397
01:56:26,000 --> 01:56:28,840
Speaker 1: really feel like this could be a special year for them.

2398
01:56:29,920 --> 01:56:34,040
Speaker 1: Which one's going to be disappointed? Well, I mean, the

2399
01:56:34,080 --> 01:56:37,480
Speaker 1: Browns hype is enormous, and I think that they are

2400
01:56:37,560 --> 01:56:40,680
Speaker 1: the best looking team in the AFC North. That doesn't

2401
01:56:40,720 --> 01:56:42,960
Speaker 1: mean that they're a Super Bowl contender necessarily. To me,

2402
01:56:43,040 --> 01:56:45,800
Speaker 1: I think the Colts are absolutely a super Bowl contender.

2403
01:56:46,000 --> 01:56:48,240
Speaker 1: And it's not just Andrew Luck in that offense. Their

2404
01:56:48,280 --> 01:56:51,040
Speaker 1: defense last year gave up the fewest points in the

2405
01:56:51,120 --> 01:56:53,840
Speaker 1: NFL over the last ten weeks of the season, which

2406
01:56:53,880 --> 01:56:57,200
Speaker 1: to me is the most incredible performance that we've seen

2407
01:56:57,240 --> 01:57:01,400
Speaker 1: from a defense in the last ten years. We're talking execution, scheme, coaching,

2408
01:57:01,680 --> 01:57:05,120
Speaker 1: improvement over the course of the season, fundamental football. That

2409
01:57:05,320 --> 01:57:07,880
Speaker 1: defense was everything you could want. Because they were not

2410
01:57:08,080 --> 01:57:11,040
Speaker 1: very talented and they were not very experienced and they

2411
01:57:11,120 --> 01:57:13,160
Speaker 1: played better and better each week. And now they've got

2412
01:57:13,200 --> 01:57:16,360
Speaker 1: everybody back, which never happened in the NFL anymore, and

2413
01:57:16,520 --> 01:57:20,280
Speaker 1: they've added a few pieces. So I think the Colts. Yeah,

2414
01:57:20,280 --> 01:57:21,720
Speaker 1: I mean, if I had to pick now, I'd have

2415
01:57:21,760 --> 01:57:24,440
Speaker 1: the Colts. They'd be my Super Bowl pick right now.

2416
01:57:25,440 --> 01:57:27,800
Speaker 1: What about the Browns? Do you think the Browns are

2417
01:57:27,840 --> 01:57:32,800
Speaker 1: gonna disappoint or there's no weaknesses there right for Cleveland? Right? Yeah? No,

2418
01:57:32,840 --> 01:57:34,680
Speaker 1: that I agree with you. There are no weaknesses and

2419
01:57:34,720 --> 01:57:37,880
Speaker 1: that includes their defense. They're not world beaters, but they

2420
01:57:37,920 --> 01:57:42,160
Speaker 1: have no glaring weak spots except maybe offensive line. I

2421
01:57:42,160 --> 01:57:44,919
Speaker 1: do have a few concerns at right guard Austin Corbett,

2422
01:57:44,920 --> 01:57:47,400
Speaker 1: who was a high second round pick recently, but he

2423
01:57:47,440 --> 01:57:49,760
Speaker 1: didn't get on the field last year. And coaches they

2424
01:57:49,800 --> 01:57:51,680
Speaker 1: tell you how they feel about their players by the

2425
01:57:51,680 --> 01:57:54,040
Speaker 1: way they use them. It was a little bit eye

2426
01:57:54,080 --> 01:57:56,120
Speaker 1: opening that Corbett didn't get out there. Now they've chosen

2427
01:57:56,160 --> 01:57:58,160
Speaker 1: to go with them this year, so maybe maybe they

2428
01:57:58,320 --> 01:58:01,960
Speaker 1: see something different in them. But that's the one mild concern.

2429
01:58:02,000 --> 01:58:03,880
Speaker 1: And then to me, a bigger concern is left tackle

2430
01:58:03,960 --> 01:58:06,640
Speaker 1: Greg Robinson. He was good in the second half of

2431
01:58:06,680 --> 01:58:09,440
Speaker 1: the season, and there are a lot of coaches in

2432
01:58:09,480 --> 01:58:11,720
Speaker 1: the NFL who have had Greg Robinson that would tell

2433
01:58:11,720 --> 01:58:14,720
Speaker 1: you I wouldn't bet on that happening twice. He's not

2434
01:58:14,880 --> 01:58:18,400
Speaker 1: always a sharp pass protector in terms of mechanics or recognition.

2435
01:58:18,960 --> 01:58:22,160
Speaker 1: That's you just you bring that up because it wouldn't

2436
01:58:22,160 --> 01:58:24,920
Speaker 1: it be awful to have as many weapons as they do,

2437
01:58:24,960 --> 01:58:27,960
Speaker 1: and they have really good fitting weapons. Those guys play

2438
01:58:28,000 --> 01:58:31,879
Speaker 1: well together stylistically, They're gonna fit well wide receiver Baker Mayfield,

2439
01:58:31,880 --> 01:58:35,000
Speaker 1: I think a superstar in the making. They have everything

2440
01:58:35,040 --> 01:58:37,480
Speaker 1: you could want. It would be horrible to see that

2441
01:58:37,560 --> 01:58:40,720
Speaker 1: get ruined by just one liability and pass protection. But

2442
01:58:40,760 --> 01:58:44,000
Speaker 1: that's that's a potential problem on the horizon. And you've

2443
01:58:44,040 --> 01:58:46,360
Speaker 1: told us the culture your AFC picked for the Super Bowl?

2444
01:58:46,400 --> 01:58:50,040
Speaker 1: Who do you like in the NFC? I like the Saints,

2445
01:58:50,160 --> 01:58:52,760
Speaker 1: but I'm not over the top or banging the table leveler,

2446
01:58:52,920 --> 01:58:57,240
Speaker 1: not to banging the tables on any of these any ways.

2447
01:58:57,240 --> 01:58:59,880
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. The Saints still have I think they're in

2448
01:58:59,880 --> 01:59:02,280
Speaker 1: a better position than they were a year ago. They've

2449
01:59:02,280 --> 01:59:04,920
Speaker 1: got the supporting cast around Drew Brees, which is good

2450
01:59:04,960 --> 01:59:07,040
Speaker 1: because I don't know if he's He's still a top

2451
01:59:07,120 --> 01:59:10,160
Speaker 1: five quarterback without question. I don't know if he's a

2452
01:59:10,240 --> 01:59:13,400
Speaker 1: quarterback you want to ride snap after snap for sixteen

2453
01:59:13,440 --> 01:59:15,600
Speaker 1: weeks at this stage of his career. But they don't

2454
01:59:15,640 --> 01:59:17,360
Speaker 1: have to worry about that. They have a great system.

2455
01:59:17,480 --> 01:59:20,640
Speaker 1: It's very well coached. They have maybe next to Dallas

2456
01:59:20,680 --> 01:59:23,560
Speaker 1: probably they have the NFC's best offensive line, and their

2457
01:59:23,600 --> 01:59:27,280
Speaker 1: defense has gotten better each to the last two seasons. Interesting, Andy, Great,

2458
01:59:27,360 --> 01:59:30,240
Speaker 1: thank you for this. We appreciate it, all right, Thanks guys.

2459
01:59:30,360 --> 01:59:34,200
Speaker 1: Andy Annoy, MMQB columnist, Sports Illustrated, NFL analyst, the co

2460
01:59:34,280 --> 01:59:37,200
Speaker 1: host of the MMQB podcast, likes the Bills to a

2461
01:59:37,240 --> 01:59:40,000
Speaker 1: certain extent, likes the running game for sure, and he's

2462
01:59:40,000 --> 01:59:42,160
Speaker 1: got the Colts in the AFC and maybe the Saints

2463
01:59:42,160 --> 01:59:45,200
Speaker 1: in the NFC. I don't anybody really picked that high

2464
01:59:45,200 --> 01:59:48,240
Speaker 1: on the Colts. Later, Well, yeah, it's hard to do

2465
01:59:48,280 --> 01:59:51,680
Speaker 1: that now. With Andrew luck sideline with an injury, he's

2466
01:59:51,680 --> 01:59:54,760
Speaker 1: it's starting to be a regular occurrence for them. You know,

2467
01:59:54,800 --> 01:59:57,880
Speaker 1: he missed that entire season two years ago and then

2468
01:59:58,040 --> 02:00:00,800
Speaker 1: bounced back very well last year. Calf injury is not

2469
02:00:00,800 --> 02:00:02,200
Speaker 1: going away. It's hard, you know, it kind of takes

2470
02:00:02,200 --> 02:00:04,840
Speaker 1: you off their radar when you've got key player player

2471
02:00:04,920 --> 02:00:08,400
Speaker 1: like Andy Andrew Luck off the shelf for a minute,

2472
02:00:08,440 --> 02:00:10,080
Speaker 1: even though I do think it's going to be just

2473
02:00:10,120 --> 02:00:13,680
Speaker 1: for a minute. Yeah, that's interesting. Yeah, and I appreciate

2474
02:00:13,720 --> 02:00:16,240
Speaker 1: Andy's perspective. I think he's one of the top guys

2475
02:00:16,240 --> 02:00:18,040
Speaker 1: out there knowing what he's looking at all. Right to

2476
02:00:18,040 --> 02:00:19,560

2518
02:02:46,000 --> 02:02:48,800
Speaker 1: sure they got at least some healthy food. Yeah, it's

2519

2539
02:03:58,200 --> 02:04:01,120
Speaker 1: question quite a lot last few weeks. It's been difficult.

2540
02:04:01,440 --> 02:04:05,600
Speaker 1: I'm stressful. Yeah, a lot of hard work. Um. I

2541
02:04:05,720 --> 02:04:08,360
Speaker 1: know I'm managed to score in the last game, but

2542
02:04:09,320 --> 02:04:13,320
Speaker 1: I didn't do it in the technically the right way um.

2543
02:04:13,360 --> 02:04:16,760
Speaker 1: And I got so much, so much to learn the stuff. Well, yeah,

2544
02:04:16,760 --> 02:04:21,520
Speaker 1: it's definitely it's definitely every day grind um. But I

2545
02:04:21,560 --> 02:04:24,160
Speaker 1: guess moments like that make it all worth It just

2546
02:04:24,280 --> 02:04:26,720
Speaker 1: keeps me, Yeah, keeps me going. I'm motivated to just

2547
02:04:26,800 --> 02:04:28,600
Speaker 1: keep working harder so I can get better and better

2548
02:04:28,600 --> 02:04:31,360
Speaker 1: every day, working towards the goal. You know it. Christian,

2549
02:04:31,480 --> 02:04:35,080
Speaker 1: thank you for joining me in glab Bag. Appreciate it. Also,

02:04:35,240 --> 02:04:39,000
Speaker 1: thank you glad Bag with many glab and Christian Wade

2551
02:04:39,040 --> 02:04:40,920
Speaker 1: that you just love to hear his voice, right, don't

2552
02:04:40,960 --> 02:04:42,320
Speaker 1: you just love to hear his voice? Yeah? I do.

2553
02:04:42,640 --> 02:04:46,200
Speaker 1: How about help me? I'm struggling to find food. Yeah,

2554
02:04:46,240 --> 02:04:49,280
Speaker 1: good healthy food. Well at least he's looking for it.

2555
02:04:50,480 --> 02:04:54,440
Speaker 1: I don't even lie to even bother it in itself.

2556
02:04:54,480 --> 02:04:56,960
Speaker 1: What restaurant? What restaurant am I driving to? That I

2557
02:04:56,960 --> 02:04:59,920
Speaker 1: can just drive and not even start, just keep driving.

2558
02:05:00,360 --> 02:05:01,960
Speaker 1: We're not even get out of my car. That's the rest,

2559
02:05:02,240 --> 02:05:04,920
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah. Yeah, but it was cool plus driving

2560
02:05:04,960 --> 02:05:08,560
Speaker 1: on the wrong side of the road for him, right, yeah, yeah, different,

2561
02:05:08,600 --> 02:05:10,560
Speaker 1: that's got to be. It is way different. You've ever

2562
02:05:10,600 --> 02:05:13,360
Speaker 1: done that? Uh? No, Like have you gone to Europe?

2563
02:05:13,360 --> 02:05:14,960
Speaker 1: I mean, if you've ever dropping on the wrong side?

2564
02:05:15,640 --> 02:05:18,440
Speaker 1: Spain was on the space side. The only one is UK,

2565
02:05:18,640 --> 02:05:20,960
Speaker 1: and I think maybe it's Australia the wrong side of

2566
02:05:20,960 --> 02:05:23,000
Speaker 1: the road, and it's like there's only like six places

2567
02:05:23,000 --> 02:05:24,920
Speaker 1: in the whole world to do it. Now it is

2568
02:05:24,920 --> 02:05:28,120
Speaker 1: the wrong side. Yeah, yeah, Hey, we got a few

2569
02:05:28,120 --> 02:05:30,200
Speaker 1: minutes left for our Twitter poll. Let's check it out.

2570
02:05:30,240 --> 02:05:31,840
Speaker 1: Which Bills player do you want to see more of

2571
02:05:31,840 --> 02:05:35,480
Speaker 1: this preseason? We got about a thousand votes in and

2572
02:05:35,800 --> 02:05:38,720
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary is getting most of your votes. Forty six

2573
02:05:38,760 --> 02:05:40,680
Speaker 1: percent of you say Devin Singletary is the guy you

2574
02:05:40,720 --> 02:05:43,120
Speaker 1: want to see more of. Christian Wade. We just heard him,

2575
02:05:43,160 --> 02:05:45,360
Speaker 1: you want to see more of him this preseason Darryl

2576
02:05:45,480 --> 02:05:49,280
Speaker 1: Johnson eighteen percent say he's the guy, four percent something else.

2577
02:05:49,480 --> 02:05:51,160
Speaker 1: Let's hear you on the phone line eight oh three

2578
02:05:51,360 --> 02:05:54,160
Speaker 1: five fifty and toll free one eight eight eight five

2579
02:05:54,320 --> 02:05:56,880
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty. The tweet sheet brought to you

2580
02:05:56,920 --> 02:05:59,480
Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems. The official moves of the Buffalo

2581
02:05:59,520 --> 02:06:02,280
Speaker 1: bills from Jack jack says, I wish I could vote

2582
02:06:02,280 --> 02:06:04,800
Speaker 1: all of the above. I vote another. I'm sure we'll

2583
02:06:04,800 --> 02:06:07,080
Speaker 1: get more looks at Singletary, and I hope Wade gets

2584
02:06:07,080 --> 02:06:10,320
Speaker 1: more touches. But I'm still interested to watch Tyree Jackson

2585
02:06:10,400 --> 02:06:12,760
Speaker 1: and Mike Love. But believe it or not, I'm also

2586
02:06:12,800 --> 02:06:15,200
Speaker 1: interested in the punder battle. I think Carter's gonna win

2587
02:06:15,240 --> 02:06:17,480
Speaker 1: with his leg in his hand. Time, hang time, did

2588
02:06:17,480 --> 02:06:19,640
Speaker 1: you look at Did you watch the punters closely Thursday night? Yeah,

2589
02:06:19,680 --> 02:06:23,040
Speaker 1: a little bit. They were going back and forth. You're right,

2590
02:06:23,120 --> 02:06:25,720
Speaker 1: it's all about consistency. Both those guys have a big leg.

2591
02:06:25,760 --> 02:06:28,200
Speaker 1: By Orkez has a huge leg and sodas Carter, So

2592
02:06:28,760 --> 02:06:34,600
Speaker 1: I'm I think they're both the coach are gonna look

2593
02:06:34,600 --> 02:06:36,480
Speaker 1: at their entire body of work. I think this is

2594
02:06:36,480 --> 02:06:38,720
Speaker 1: gonna go because both of them can can hit it

2595
02:06:38,760 --> 02:06:40,320
Speaker 1: a long way, and both of them seem to have

2596
02:06:40,680 --> 02:06:43,040
Speaker 1: all the kicks in their arsenal, you know where they

2597
02:06:43,040 --> 02:06:45,760
Speaker 1: can do the Aussie kick down inside the ten, drop

2598
02:06:45,760 --> 02:06:48,680
Speaker 1: it outside the numbers. They both did a really nice

2599
02:06:48,760 --> 02:06:50,800
Speaker 1: job of that the other night. But it's gonna come

2600
02:06:50,840 --> 02:06:55,640
Speaker 1: down to who has the good punts when they really

2601
02:06:55,680 --> 02:06:58,760
Speaker 1: need the good punts, and doesn't sprinkle in the bad

2602
02:06:58,760 --> 02:07:00,640
Speaker 1: punts where they shouldn't. I mean, every has a bad

2603
02:07:00,640 --> 02:07:02,920
Speaker 1: punt once in a while, but the most consistent guy's

2604
02:07:02,920 --> 02:07:04,600
Speaker 1: going to get the job, in my opinion, because they

2605
02:07:04,640 --> 02:07:08,000
Speaker 1: know the upper end for both these guys is is

2606
02:07:08,040 --> 02:07:12,040
Speaker 1: well above average. I mean, they've both got rockets for

2607
02:07:12,040 --> 02:07:14,480
Speaker 1: the legs. It's gonna be about the bad punts, how

2608
02:07:14,480 --> 02:07:16,400
Speaker 1: many of those they sprinkle in and how many they

2609
02:07:16,400 --> 02:07:19,040
Speaker 1: can keep from doing. I mean, that's consistency is the

2610
02:07:19,120 --> 02:07:20,760
Speaker 1: key for these guys. So that's who's gonna win, and

2611
02:07:20,800 --> 02:07:23,200
Speaker 1: I haven't. It's you know, unless you've been watching every

2612
02:07:23,200 --> 02:07:25,480
Speaker 1: time they've kicked you never know. Yeah, you never know

2613
02:07:25,480 --> 02:07:27,200
Speaker 1: which Spills players you want to see more of this

2614
02:07:27,240 --> 02:07:30,480
Speaker 1: preseason From James his response on the tweet sheet, I

2615
02:07:30,520 --> 02:07:33,200
Speaker 1: want to see more of Darryl Johnson. After going back

2616
02:07:33,280 --> 02:07:36,000
Speaker 1: and watching the game, I came away very impressed. Seventh

2617
02:07:36,080 --> 02:07:38,880
Speaker 1: round picks usually don't even make teams. He's long, and

2618
02:07:38,960 --> 02:07:40,720
Speaker 1: if he puts on a bit more muscle, he might

2619
02:07:40,800 --> 02:07:44,320
Speaker 1: be a force. I'm impressed with our draft class. Go Buffalo.

2620
02:07:44,400 --> 02:07:46,440
Speaker 1: I am too impressed with the draft class. Yeah, based

2621
02:07:46,480 --> 02:07:48,600
Speaker 1: on one game. I mean there's still three quarters of

2622
02:07:48,640 --> 02:07:50,880
Speaker 1: the preseason to go. But man, I thought from the

2623
02:07:50,880 --> 02:07:53,360
Speaker 1: top of the draft class won the first and second

2624
02:07:53,560 --> 02:07:58,280
Speaker 1: to the bottom of the draft class San Joseph Joseph

2625
02:07:58,320 --> 02:08:01,840
Speaker 1: and Jaquan Johnson and Darrell Johnson. I think there was

2626
02:08:01,880 --> 02:08:04,240
Speaker 1: a lot there too light. Yeah, of course that doesn't

2627
02:08:04,240 --> 02:08:06,640
Speaker 1: even say anything about the top three guys and Cody

2628
02:08:06,720 --> 02:08:12,440
Speaker 1: Ford and and at Oliver and Singletary, I mean they

2629
02:08:12,760 --> 02:08:15,800
Speaker 1: I think I think you might have three, maybe four.

2630
02:08:17,400 --> 02:08:20,680
Speaker 1: You may have almost a handful of kids, I say

2631
02:08:20,760 --> 02:08:23,320
Speaker 1: kids starters off that team. I mean you can you

2632
02:08:23,320 --> 02:08:26,200
Speaker 1: can see one of those tight ends Knox or Sweeney

2633
02:08:26,680 --> 02:08:29,360
Speaker 1: making a push to get it be in the regular rotation, certainly,

2634
02:08:29,680 --> 02:08:33,520
Speaker 1: Oliver Ford and Devin Singletary. I mean might get you

2635
02:08:33,600 --> 02:08:36,280
Speaker 1: get four, maybe five starters out of that draft pass.

2636
02:08:36,320 --> 02:08:39,960
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Yeah, I mean you could see it.

2637
02:08:39,960 --> 02:08:42,720
Speaker 1: It's not another realm of possibility, but I would say

2638
02:08:42,720 --> 02:08:45,840
Speaker 1: it's more likely that you're gonna get three and one

2639
02:08:45,880 --> 02:08:52,080
Speaker 1: of those guys either Singletary, Knox Sweeney. Certainly. I don't

2640
02:08:52,080 --> 02:08:54,400
Speaker 1: think the defenders are going to but if you get

2641
02:08:54,440 --> 02:08:56,040
Speaker 1: all those guys that make the team. Think about it.

2642
02:08:56,080 --> 02:08:59,280
Speaker 1: Last year, nobody even raised an eyebrow when the club

2643
02:08:59,400 --> 02:09:02,640
Speaker 1: cut the last two draft picks. It was Austin Prowle

2644
02:09:02,960 --> 02:09:07,360
Speaker 1: and the sixth round draft pick. You know, it's hard

2645
02:09:07,400 --> 02:09:09,320
Speaker 1: for these guys to make that club, and now to

2646
02:09:09,440 --> 02:09:13,440
Speaker 1: have guys like Daryl Johnson burst into it, especially in

2647
02:09:13,480 --> 02:09:17,440
Speaker 1: that position. If he makes the squad man, that's an

2648
02:09:17,480 --> 02:09:20,720
Speaker 1: unbelievable accomplishment for a young player, and he's well on

2649
02:09:20,760 --> 02:09:22,760
Speaker 1: his way to maybe getting it done. One more from

2650
02:09:22,840 --> 02:09:25,760
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet, we'll go to Steve, who says, I

2651
02:09:25,760 --> 02:09:28,000
Speaker 1: don't think there's a wrong answer here, but the two

2652
02:09:28,040 --> 02:09:32,040
Speaker 1: series I saw from Tremaine Edmonds were awesome. Four tackles

2653
02:09:32,040 --> 02:09:33,440
Speaker 1: one for a lot so in less than a quarter

2654
02:09:33,480 --> 02:09:35,240
Speaker 1: is special. I believe he will make us so much

2655
02:09:35,280 --> 02:09:37,160
Speaker 1: better against the run this year, but I want to

2656
02:09:37,160 --> 02:09:39,600
Speaker 1: see more. He could have twenty tackle games. I thought

2657
02:09:39,600 --> 02:09:41,920
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds was really good the other day too, And

2658
02:09:41,960 --> 02:09:44,680
Speaker 1: I'm almost inured to it. I almost don't notice it

2659
02:09:44,720 --> 02:09:48,160
Speaker 1: because you see him making plays in practice in training camp,

2660
02:09:48,240 --> 02:09:50,040
Speaker 1: and do you think, Yeah, that's Tremaine, That's who he is.

2661
02:09:50,280 --> 02:09:52,600
Speaker 1: That's how he dropped into coverage, that's how he knocks

2662
02:09:52,640 --> 02:09:55,680
Speaker 1: down passes. That's let's face it. And you get into

2663
02:09:55,720 --> 02:09:57,720
Speaker 1: preseason game and then he can really make tackles and

2664
02:09:57,760 --> 02:10:00,080
Speaker 1: it's like a different dimension for him. But yeah, I

2665
02:10:00,080 --> 02:10:02,440
Speaker 1: thought it was really solid in the game on Thursday night.

2666
02:10:02,520 --> 02:10:04,160
Speaker 1: Really Yeah. Well, there's a lot to like about the

2667
02:10:04,160 --> 02:10:06,080
Speaker 1: game of Thursday night all the way around the roster,

2668
02:10:06,160 --> 02:10:08,760
Speaker 1: and certainly the best guys didn't get to play much,

2669
02:10:09,280 --> 02:10:11,720
Speaker 1: but they certainly didn't disappoint in what they what they

2670
02:10:11,720 --> 02:10:13,400
Speaker 1: were doing. And we got one more on the tweet

2671
02:10:13,440 --> 02:10:16,480
Speaker 1: sheet from Jim who goes this way. I'd like to

2672
02:10:16,480 --> 02:10:19,280
Speaker 1: see more of Vashawan Joseph. He is legit. He was

2673
02:10:19,320 --> 02:10:22,560
Speaker 1: all over the field and even special teams. His hits

2674
02:10:22,560 --> 02:10:26,920
Speaker 1: were powerful. Yeah, special team is going to be a

2675
02:10:26,920 --> 02:10:29,320
Speaker 1: big part of it. And I told you last week

2676
02:10:29,760 --> 02:10:32,000
Speaker 1: Darryl Johnson, one of our choices of the defensive end

2677
02:10:32,000 --> 02:10:34,880
Speaker 1: tackle or defensive end, I'd seen him really give a

2678
02:10:34,920 --> 02:10:37,360
Speaker 1: full effort on his special team doing drill work, doing

2679
02:10:37,600 --> 02:10:41,160
Speaker 1: the reps in practice. The guy's running really hard, even

2680
02:10:41,200 --> 02:10:43,320
Speaker 1: at that long length and how big he is, He's

2681
02:10:43,360 --> 02:10:45,760
Speaker 1: covering a lot of ground. But Sean Joseph we just

2682
02:10:46,600 --> 02:10:50,440
Speaker 1: heard here, is really getting it done. You know these Yeah,

2683
02:10:50,520 --> 02:10:54,640
Speaker 1: this is draft class is impressing a lot and all

2684
02:10:54,680 --> 02:10:57,320
Speaker 1: the way across it, right, and certainly we're seeing a

2685
02:10:57,320 --> 02:10:59,200
Speaker 1: little bit more Tommy Sweeney than we thought we would

2686
02:10:59,200 --> 02:11:02,040
Speaker 1: because of the injuries the tight end. But even him,

2687
02:11:02,040 --> 02:11:06,440
Speaker 1: even he, I mean, not us, it's a lot to

2688
02:11:06,480 --> 02:11:09,320
Speaker 1: be positive about with this draft class. He goes from

2689
02:11:09,360 --> 02:11:11,600
Speaker 1: top to bottom. We'll take another look at him tomorrow

2690
02:11:11,600 --> 02:11:13,680
Speaker 1: when we see him practice against the Panthers. Will be

2691
02:11:13,720 --> 02:11:16,440
Speaker 1: there down in Spartanburg, South Carolina. I hope you joined us.

2692
02:11:16,480 --> 02:11:18,280
Speaker 1: Let's take a break here, we're coming back. One Bill's

2693
02:11:18,320 --> 02:11:21,080
Speaker 1: Live presented by Kalaida Health from One Bill's Drive. This

2694
02:11:21,240 --> 02:11:37,200
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Oh, he had a good show

2695
02:11:37,240 --> 02:11:39,160
Speaker 1: here in Archpark today And what do we learn from

2696
02:11:39,160 --> 02:11:42,360
Speaker 1: today's show. Well, we had Brad Genio on from bleacher

2697
02:11:42,400 --> 02:11:45,000
Speaker 1: report dot com and he gave high grades. He gave

2698
02:11:45,080 --> 02:11:47,360
Speaker 1: as to a couple of Bills rookies for their performance

2699
02:11:47,400 --> 02:11:50,400
Speaker 1: against the Colts, both and Oliver and Den Devin Singletary.

2700
02:11:50,400 --> 02:11:53,000
Speaker 1: He got grades of A and Brad Genio explain, why

2701
02:11:54,560 --> 02:11:57,880
Speaker 1: get a strong performance from you know, a guy who,

2702
02:11:57,960 --> 02:12:01,560
Speaker 1: even though there's a several running back in that stable already,

2703
02:12:02,360 --> 02:12:05,520
Speaker 1: who might have a chance to potentially end up taking

2704
02:12:05,560 --> 02:12:07,760
Speaker 1: more of the carriers than any of them, and Devin Singletary,

2705
02:12:07,800 --> 02:12:10,040
Speaker 1: and so to see him performing the way he did

2706
02:12:10,560 --> 02:12:14,200
Speaker 1: right out of the gate is definitely probably very promising

2707
02:12:14,280 --> 02:12:18,720
Speaker 1: for Bills fans to see the performance that they got

2708
02:12:18,760 --> 02:12:22,680
Speaker 1: as well, obviously from the number nine overall pick. You know,

2709
02:12:22,720 --> 02:12:25,640
Speaker 1: everyone looked strong right off the bat, and so, you know,

2710
02:12:26,600 --> 02:12:28,600
Speaker 1: it's one game you don't want to read too deep

2711
02:12:28,640 --> 02:12:31,200
Speaker 1: into it, but when you use top picks on guys

2712
02:12:31,240 --> 02:12:32,880
Speaker 1: like this, when you use as a day two pick

2713
02:12:32,880 --> 02:12:35,600
Speaker 1: on a running back nowadays, you're expecting an immediate result,

2714
02:12:36,160 --> 02:12:40,320
Speaker 1: and they got an immediate result, right Daniel from bleacher Report.

2715
02:12:40,360 --> 02:12:43,880
Speaker 1: Also today we had Andy benoid On from MMQB, who's

2716
02:12:43,920 --> 02:12:46,480
Speaker 1: done a complete season preview for every team in the NFL,

2717
02:12:46,520 --> 02:12:48,720
Speaker 1: including the Bills. He said the Bills should be able

2718
02:12:48,760 --> 02:12:50,360
Speaker 1: to run the ball well this year. He talked about

2719
02:12:50,360 --> 02:12:54,520
Speaker 1: how that fits into their overall offensive scheme. The other

2720
02:12:54,600 --> 02:12:56,280
Speaker 1: school of thought is, all right, we're gonna be a

2721
02:12:56,360 --> 02:12:58,480
Speaker 1: run based Offen, but that doesn't mean we're going to

2722
02:12:58,520 --> 02:13:01,000
Speaker 1: just run the ball and mats mouth at all the time.

2723
02:13:01,280 --> 02:13:04,840
Speaker 1: It also means we're gonna build our passing concepts directly

2724
02:13:04,880 --> 02:13:08,520
Speaker 1: off of our running concepts and really intertwine those. And that,

2725
02:13:08,720 --> 02:13:10,160
Speaker 1: to me, is the way you have to play with

2726
02:13:10,200 --> 02:13:13,280
Speaker 1: Alan and part because when you build your passing concepts

2727
02:13:13,320 --> 02:13:16,560
Speaker 1: off your run game, you tend to have deeper dropbacks,

2728
02:13:16,760 --> 02:13:20,440
Speaker 1: deeper passes down field. And that is Alan's strength, not

2729
02:13:20,520 --> 02:13:22,360
Speaker 1: just because he throws the ball really hard and far,

2730
02:13:22,800 --> 02:13:26,240
Speaker 1: but because those throws downfield are not necessarily timing and

2731
02:13:26,320 --> 02:13:28,840
Speaker 1: rhythm throws not in the same way as the hour underneath.

2732
02:13:29,080 --> 02:13:32,960
Speaker 1: And if you're not an overly precise, accurate passer, there's

2733
02:13:33,000 --> 02:13:35,200
Speaker 1: a little more margin for air when you throw the

2734
02:13:35,200 --> 02:13:37,600
Speaker 1: ball down field. The longer the ball flies through the air,

2735
02:13:37,960 --> 02:13:42,080
Speaker 1: the more margin of air in theories. Yo, Andy Benoit,

2736
02:13:42,280 --> 02:13:45,160
Speaker 1: m NQB. Steve got a plan to catch both of us.

2737
