4
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: Thanks for making that choice. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you.

5
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: It is Ota week three and the players are on

6
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: the practice field. We had an opportunity to go out

7
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: and to watch the guys on a beautiful pune day.

8
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: Beautiful day to neighborhood, mild and not too hot.

9
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, right in Steve's wheelhouse at about seventy two degrees.

10
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: So had the bucket had on, you had the bucket

11
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: had on. It was great. It's a great day. Yeah,

12
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: beauty got a lot of I mean most there's a

13
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: handful of guys that are not here. It's not like

14
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: they haven't been here, but for some reason they're not

15
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: around today. So yeah, guys get stuff where they got

16
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: a head home real quick and come back all that stuff.

17
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, I will say it was Leonard Floyd's first

18
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: day on the practice field, so that was good to see.

19
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: And he only added in about second or third year

20
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: during the early position drills. Even in third year, the

21
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: get off is pretty good.

22
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just gonna say it. They got some dudes, Man,

23
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: they got some dudes.

24
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: Some encouraging signs. Mitch Morris, you know, who is not

25
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: fully participating, is beginning to work his way back into

26
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: the practice setting. If we remember, he had that big

27
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: rap on his snapping elbow all last season and kind

28
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: of gutted his way through the year. And I think

29
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: he had some kind of clean up thing with his

30
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: elbow or whatever. So they've kind of eased him back in.

31
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: He's still not participating fully, but we hope that comes

32
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 1: in due course, maybe as soon as many camp.

33
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 2: It's the perfect time for the coaching staff slow the role,

34
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: slow them down and let other guys take reps. That

35
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: would really help them learn what's going on. Some guys

36
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: learn better when they run through it.

37
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: Yep.

38
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 2: And it's the perfect time to let now mean Mitch Moore,

39
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: I mean, what's he gonna.

40
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: You know what he knows what he's doing standing.

41
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: There watching here in the conversations. That's all really good,

42
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: but let some other guy run through it and take

43
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: some reps. It's it's the perfect time to do that.

44
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: The other encouraging sign was Tommy Doyle, who we've talked

45
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: about on this show. In recent weeks was out there participating,

46
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: albeit not fully, but he had a helmet on and

47
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: he was getting some reps in during position drills and

48
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: things like that. So that was great to see as

49
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: he's coming off the ACL injury that he suffered in

50
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: Week three last year, so he appears to be on

51
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: track to get back into the practice setting.

52
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 2: And getting back to his touchdown catching ways.

53
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, the New England playoff game, right, and then we

54
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: also saw Tamar Hamlin getting some snaps in team work today,

55
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: so we'll have to see if he is in fact

56
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: fully cleared or he is. He's definitely one step closer

57
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: to that seeing the action that he saw today. Now

58
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: we have to remember they're in helmets and shorts. There

59
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: really isn't any full blown contact. But he's doing more

60
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: now than he was at the start of OTAs two

61
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: weeks ago. I think that much can be said. So

62
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: that was encouraging to see. So he's one step closer

63
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: to his goal, you know, of returning and making a

64
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: full return to the NFL. So some nice encouraging signs

65
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: out there today for guys that were on the mendor

66
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: had long rehab schedules through the course of the off season,

67
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: so positive signs for sure.

68
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great to see. I mean there are a

69
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: lot of there's a lot of answered prayers when he

70
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 2: runs out on the field, right, I mean, oh yeah,

71
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 2: it's amazing how far we've come in you know, five

72
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 2: six months, and it's good to see it really is.

73
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: And still like yesterday, I I took a minute to

74
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: gather myself when he came over and hugged the commissioner

75
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: and said hi to him, Terry, and it was I

76
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,679
Speaker 2: was like, man, I forgot, you know, you forget because

77
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: we kind of get caught up in the in the

78
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: day to day pace of life, and man, where where

79
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: we've come from. You know, that's just a credit to

80
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 2: Damar and all the people around him. And it's just

81
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: great to see.

82
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: The national reporters that get their hands on fresh contracts.

83
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: As Leonard Floyd officially signed his contract this morning, some

84
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: of the national reporters were already tweeting out the terms

85
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: one years, seven million for Leonard Floyd or the reported

86
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: terms with incentives that could push it up to nine

87
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: for this year. I don't know about you, but I

88
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: still think that's that's a pretty good deal for for

89
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: Leonard Floyd this light in the free agent game and

90
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: for the team.

91
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and think about it too. He's a great insurance

92
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 2: policy slash replacement part for until von Miller gets healthy

93
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: and then if von Miller gets healthy, comes back one

94
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: hundred percent. He got both of those guys on the edges,

95
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: along with Greg Russo and the rest. You's gotta feel

96
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 2: really good about where your.

97
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: Pass rush is going to be a pretty good crew.

98
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 2: Particularly what happens if they if they kind of hit

99
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 2: their stride and get a bunch of reps together and

100
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 2: by the second half of the season kind of start

101
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 2: spreading their wings. That's that's a lot of fun to

102
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 2: think about.

103
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we'll keep tabs on that and you know,

104
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: see how things shake out. But you know, they got

105
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: a group, man, they got a group of dudes. And

106
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: I'm not just talking to d Line. I mean Steve

107
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: and I were talking about it along the sidelines there

108
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: with some of the other media members. The Bills got

109
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: better this offseason, and nobody outside of Buffalo knows it.

110
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: Like you talk about the national media, they're consumed with

111
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, the return of Lamar Jackson to Baltimore. Anything

112
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: that Cincinnati's doing.

113
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 2: The Joe Burrow contract.

114
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: The Bills got better this offseason at a number of

115
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: areas and nobody knows. And you know what, I'm good

116
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: with that.

117
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 2: It's amazing the recency biased people have when it comes

118
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 2: to football teams and how long it lasts. You know,

119
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 2: the Bills, you know, had an ignominious end to their

120
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 2: season at home against Cincinnati, and after the early the

121
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 2: early returns on the Cincinnati game three weeks prior, of

122
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 2: course it ended, you know, you know, tragic incident with

123
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 2: DeMar but you know, Cincinnati was rolling it on Buffalo

124
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 2: in the first drive and a half of that game,

125
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: and people are just projecting the results and thinking, wow,

126
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: the Bengals are that much better than the Bills. If

127
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: the Bills show up to that game, any of those games,

128
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: and any of the games this year. I know, their

129
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 2: schedules tough this year. The Bills stay healthy with their

130
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: roster that they've assembled to this point, they're a handful

131
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 2: more than they are. They are real. They are a

132
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 2: real problem for every single team on that schedule, including

133
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, the Bengals, and the Eagles and the Jets.

134
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: The Bills are a real problem. Their health. Notwithstanding last

135
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 2: year they played the Bengals in the playoffs. They don't

136
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: have Micah Hyde, they don't have Von Miller, don't have

137
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 2: Daikwon Jones. I mean, they got guys that are key

138
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 2: contributors that are off the field defensively, offensively, they got

139
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: Nick They're nicked up, man. I just you really think

140
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 2: about what that meant last season, all the stuff that happened,

141
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 2: and they got Brandan and I both believe this is genuine.

142
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 2: We're not just saying that. I really think they're a

143
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: better football team today than they were twelve months ago

144
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: when they were the Super Bowl favorites.

145
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: I would agree with that.

146
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 2: There are other teams too. They got better, but still,

147
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 2: you know, we're not in a vacuum.

148
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: I know, I think they're the number one thing is

149
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: they're healthier and deeper on defense, and in my estimation,

150
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: they are a more diverse offense based on the players

151
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: that they've added. They're not just throw it all over

152
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: the yard. If they have to change their spots and

153
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: their approach and even to a certain extent, their identity,

154
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: they have the people to do that if necessary, and

155
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: I think that's what makes them more dangerous. This year,

156
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: you know, because if they because you know, you think

157
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: about it. What was the toughest opponent for the Cincinnati

158
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: Bengals last year. There's the Baltimore Ravens in their own division.

159
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: Because Cincinnati struggled to play rock em soccer football with them, right,

160
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: and they were tight games, both of them. The Bills

161
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: kind of fortified the offensive line and their running back room.

162
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 1: If it comes together, they could play rock em soccer

163
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: football if they need to do. You know what I'm saying, Like,

164
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: it's not their identity. Their identity is gonna be Josh

165
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: Allen throwing the football. We all know this, and it's

166
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: gonna win them the majority of their football games this year.

167
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: But you get in a street fight, they can flip

168
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: the switch. Now in my estimation, based on who they've

169
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: added on the offensive side of the ball, the size

170
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: of guard on the interior, the big backs you got

171
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: in the backfield. Now you want a brawl, you want

172
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: a street fight, we can play that too.

173
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, you said it at times last year, and I've

174
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 2: talked to groups of people and I say the same thing,

175
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 2: and there everybody's like yeah, But at times last year

176
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 2: you said it, Brownie, it seemed offensively, like it was

177
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 2: a heavy lift and it could have you know, some injuries,

178
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 2: certainly Josh's elbows. Certainly in the second half of the season,

179
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 2: you know, they had some some issues where they were

180
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 2: winning games. Was like, wow, it just looked really hard

181
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: because I think they lacked the faith in other aspects

182
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 2: of their offense to really lean on them and do

183
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 2: something different. There are teams that really made it hard

184
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 2: on what the Bills did best, you know, having Josh

185
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 2: drop back and sling it. You know, when Josh brakes

186
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 2: contained and starts doing stuff, everything is off the hook

187
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 2: and he you know, it's hard to beat him, but

188
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 2: it looks hard. I think with the changes they've made

189
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 2: and the adjustments to the roster, now certainly everything looks

190
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: good from this end of the season, but it looks

191
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 2: like they can. They have added ways to win games

192
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: to their offense and to their defense. So I just

193
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 2: think they're going to have more ways to present real

194
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 2: problems for their opponents on a consistent basis.

195
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, just so everyone knows. Programming note, at the close

196
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: of practice today, we do expect to hear from the

197
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: newest Buffalo Bill, Leonard Floyd, who will be addressing the media.

198
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: We will bring that to you here on one Bill's

199
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: Live Today and general manager Brandon Bean with some of

200
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: the latest defensive line developments, the extension signed by Ed

201
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: Oliver and the signing of Leonard Floyd. We anticipate will

202
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: be covered and addressed by Buffalo's general manager at some

203
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: point after practice as well. We will bring you those

204
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: comments in addition to those of Leonard Floyd. We will

205
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: get to around the NFL in a second. But we've

206
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: got to call her on the line. It's one of

207
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: our regulars, so we'll go there right away so she

208
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: doesn't have to wait. It's Judy and Buffalo joining us.

209
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 3: What do you have for us?

210
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 4: Judy, Well, now that Brandon Bean has put his home

211
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 4: up on the market, does.

212
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 5: That indicate that maybe he's on the move? You know,

213
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 5: what is his contract status? And let's put some things

214
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 5: into focus here aside from Josh Allen, what are his

215
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 5: major draft accomplishments?

216
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, those are fair. I will say number one,

217
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: you can knock me over with a feather if he's

218
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: on the move, because he just signed a multi year

219
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: contract extension two years ago, and I don't have the

220
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: exact length, but I had heard it was up to

221
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: five or six years long, So there's about four more

222
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: years left on his current contract. I imagine he's being

223
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: paid handsomely by the Pagoulas with you know, with good reason.

224
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: As far as his draft records concerned, yes, Josh Tremaine

225
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: were certain feathers in his cap, not only because of

226
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: the players that he picked, but because of the maneuvering

227
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: that he orchestrated to put himself in position to get

228
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: those two players. The Bills did not have the seventh

229
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: and sixteenth picks in the draft in Round one in

230
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, he had to move up in a series

231
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: of moves to land both of those players. You know,

232
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: as for his draft history, he'd be the first to

233
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: tell you he's not perfect. But I think, as we

234
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: have stated on this show several times, Steve, you have

235
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: to look at general managers in the draft like a

236
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 1: batting average in baseball. If you're batting over three hundred,

237
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: you're doing pretty good. If you bat four hundred, you

238
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: are elite in this league as a general manager. That's

239
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: how much of an inexact science drafting is.

240
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 2: Now.

241
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: If you look at his twenty eighteen draft class, it's

242
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: pretty darn good because you have Josh and Tremaine, and

243
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: then I know in that class you also have Saran

244
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: Neil who's still on the roster, Tarren Johnson who's your

245
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: starting nickel, Harrison Phillips who's still in the league and

246
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: playing for Minnesota, Ray Ray McCloud who's still in the

247
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: league and playing for San Francisco as a return man.

248
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: That was his first draft class for the Bills. Now

249
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen not as good, and I think he'd be

250
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: the first to admit that, but Ed Oliver's here on

251
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: a second contract. Devin Singletary was reliable, if not spectacular.

252
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox is a starting quality tight end. Cody Ford

253
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: they got to, you know, they didn't get what they

254
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: wanted out of him, but they get an asset in

255
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: return for him, trade him for a fifth round pick

256
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: to Arizona. And then Jakwan Johnson was a backup here

257
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: as a sixth round draft choice, and he had Tommy

258
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: Sweeney and Daryl Johnson who were backups and got moved.

259
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: So you know, then you've got the Greg Russeau draft

260
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: in twenty one, twenty twenty, they didn't have a first

261
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: round pick because he executed the Digs trade. So if

262
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: you want to count Diggs as a first round pick,

263
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: I think he'd sign off on that. Dabe Davis was

264
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: a fourth round fined in twenty twenty.

265
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 2: Matt Mlone was a fifth round.

266
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: Tyler Bass was a sixth round pick that year. Dane

267
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: Jackson was a seventh round pick. So his draft history

268
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: is pretty good. Yeah, I'm not gonna say it was perfect,

269
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: but it's pretty darn good as far as I'm concerned.

270
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 2: One thing, and he'll tell you this too. He's he's

271
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 2: really good. And I think guys who know what they're

272
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 2: doing and they're secure in there and what they do

273
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 2: will tell you this. He's still kicking himself over the

274
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 2: Wyatt Teller trade. Wyatt Tellor he drafted and in the

275
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 2: fifth round, and Wyatt Telor's an All Pro guard for

276
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 2: now for the Cleveland Browns because at that time we

277
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 2: didn't need Wyatt Teller and all this, you know, and

278
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 2: and then you know you traded me turns into this guy.

279
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 2: So I don't have a real I don't have a

280
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 2: problem with Brandon Bean's draft history. Certainly there have been

281
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 2: guys who have had stretches that have been really good

282
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 2: in comparison. I would note also that since his first

283
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 2: or second draft class, they haven't been drafted very high,

284
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: so there's that as well. I mean, you're getting players

285
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 2: that other teams have passed over. So yeah, none of

286
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 2: these guys are perfect. We've said it. Even the best

287
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 2: general managers are maybe five hundred on a great year.

288
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 2: Now you've seen anomalies. Were like they Seattle Seahawks in

289
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 2: twenty eleven twenty twelve got four starters out of each

290
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: of those drafts and it took them to two Super Bowls.

291
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: So look at the twenty draft for the Bengals. Their

292
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: first three picks Joe Burrow, T Higgins and Logan Wilson,

293
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: they're starting middle linebacker. Those are their first three draft choices.

294
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: And you hit on a draft like that, it can

295
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: really set you up well to be competitive for a lot.

296
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 2: Long because not only the great players, they're also dirt cheap,

297
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 2: so you're getting great play and then you can go

298
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 2: out and buy anciliary pieces around them to make them better,

299
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 2: and they did. They've done a nice job of that.

300
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 2: Sustaining success is the hardest thing to do. I think

301
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, the Bills, have done that extremely well, and

302
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 2: we'll see how the other some of the other teams

303
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 2: do some of the other teams. You know, it's good year,

304
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 2: bad year, good year, bad year, good year, a bunch

305
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 2: of bad years, that kind of thing. So we'll see.

306
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 2: But I I don't know. I didn't know there were

307
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: people out there who were down on if Judy was

308
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 2: in fact down on Brandon Bean's draft abilities.

309
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 3: I don't know.

310
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 2: I'm that's a little surprising to me.

311
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 1: Let's go around the NFL, and we begin, Steve with

312
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: and around the NFL. Incidentally brought to you by Kalid

313
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: a Healthy, official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills. After

314
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 1: we were off the air on Monday, Steve, it was

315
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 1: reported that the NFL was investigating an Indianapolis Colts player

316
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: for pervasive betting practices that included hundreds of bets allegedly

317
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: placed by this player, mostly in the amounts of twenty

318
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: five to fifty dollars. The player, who was unnamed, revealed

319
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: himself on Twitter last night with a very self effacing post.

320
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: It's cornerback Isaiah Rogers, a six round draft choice couple

321
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: of years ago by the Colts, and he said the

322
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: following I know I have made mistakes, and I am

323
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: willing to do whatever it takes to repair the situation.

324
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 1: Rogers wrote, the last thing I ever wanted to do

325
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: was to be a distraction to the Colts organization, my coaches,

326
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: and my teammates. I've let people down that I care about.

327
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: I made an error in judgment. I'm gonna work hard

328
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: to make sure that those mistakes are rectified through this process.

329
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: It's an honor to play in the NFL, and I

330
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: have never taken that lightly. I'm very sorry for all

331
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: of this now, Steve, this guy not only placed hundreds

332
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: of bets, which as you know, is illegal on all

333
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: fronts as an NFL employee, he bet on the Colts. Steve,

334
00:18:55,520 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: he bet on his own team multiple times, acording to

335
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: the report of the receive. I don't know about you,

336
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: but the first thing I thought of when I saw

337
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: that was Pete Rose, who bet on his own team

338
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: and got banned for life. And I realized we're talking

339
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: about nineteen eighty five, we're not talking about twenty twenty three.

340
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you right now, with the suspensions that

341
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: we've seen of late, you know, Calvin Ridley for a

342
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: year was the first big name to go down mister

343
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: Year of Football and cost him eleven million dollars in

344
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: salary to Jamison Williams with the Detroit Lions getting suspended

345
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: for six games along with another teammate because they were

346
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: betting in the facility, which is illegal.

347
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, even this guy bet on his own team.

348
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna throw the book at this guy, aren't they?

349
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he thought. Obviously, people think like if they put

350
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 2: the account into in one of their buddies' names and

351
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 2: make the bets through him, nobody's gonna be the wiser.

352
00:19:58,600 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: That doesn't fly.

353
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: Because they're doing it with his credit card.

354
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 2: They're dumb.

355
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: I mean, that's as dumb as the day is long.

356
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: It cost yourself a career because of this. Yeah, you

357
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: can't bet on like it's bad enough you're betting, which

358
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: with all the gambling and other stuff. In terms of

359
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 1: the tutorials and seminars they put these players through, I'm

360
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 1: just stunned they're even doing it. Like, you're not even

361
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: going near that. That's that's like a kid when mom

362
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: tells you don't go near the oven it's hot, you know,

363
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: same thing here. They bet on his own team, allegedly.

364
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, in the past five years, seven NFL players, one

365
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 2: assistant coach, and an undisclosed number of team employees have

366
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 2: been found to have violated the league's gambling policies. That's

367
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 2: in the last five years. So it's been seven players

368
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 2: and one assistant coach, plus other people who you know

369
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 2: work for teams and you know, ticket offices and market

370
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 2: or whatever. But this guy is the first one I've

371
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 2: seen who was betting on NFL games.

372
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 6: And his own team, his own no less, I don't know,

373
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 6: all right, if you're Roger Goodell, don't you just say

374
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 6: you're done.

375
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, they're gonna drop the hammer

376
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: on this kid. I feel terrible for him, but I

377
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: think he just cost himself an NFL career. I don't

378
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: think he's playing the league every again, because what do

379
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: we hear all the time, Like when the whole Stephen

380
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 1: Ross thing went down in Miami and Brian Floores accused

381
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: him of trying to pay him to purposely lose games.

382
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: The number one thing that was addressed in that whole

383
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: mess was integrity of the game. Maintaining integrity of the game.

384
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: And I know the league has gotten into bed with

385
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: the sports books, and that's a slippery slope try to navigate.

386
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 2: It's complicated, no question, it's a tricky.

387
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: Slope to navigate to begin with. But you lay out

388
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: restrictions for your employees, which obviously players, and you hope

389
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: that people abide by them. We know there aren't. It's

390
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: not gonna be perfect. And you know, you suspend a

391
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: guy for a year, they suspended a second player for

392
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: a year. Now they suspend the two Lions, Jamison Williams

393
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: among them, for six games. And you say, okay, people

394
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: are gonna get it now. And I'm not going to

395
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: pretend to know the timeline as to when Isaiah Rodgers

396
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: allegedly placed these bets. Maybe it was before any of

397
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: those suspensions came down and they're just coming to light now.

398
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: But holy cow, man, betting on your own football team

399
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: it reeks of destroying the integrity of the game, because

400
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: now it puts out the air of oh, NFL games

401
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: might be fixed. If this guy's betting on him, he

402
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: must feel confident how these games are going to turn out.

403
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: That's why he's betting on his own team. And so

404
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: that is a narrative and optics that the NFL does

405
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: not want And this is not This is not Anthony

406
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: richardson their number one pick. This is not Reggie Wayne.

407
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: You know who's a Hall of Fame player for the Colts.

408
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: It's not Jonathan Taylor. This is a sixth round draft choice,

409
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: Isaiah Rodgers, who actually had a chance to start this

410
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: year after Stefan Gilmour left. I think he's done. Yeah,

411
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: he's never gonna play in the NFL again. They're gonna

412
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: make an example.

413
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 3: Of this guy.

414
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 2: That wouldn't surprise me, and I don't have a problem

415
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 2: with it. It was a stupid thing to do. You

416
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 2: had to know grave consequences would happen if, indeed you

417
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 2: were caught breaking the rules, knowingly breaking the rules, willfully

418
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 2: breaking the rules. Yeah, you're done, that's it. I mean,

419
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 2: I don't think we've gone down this road so far

420
00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 2: that it won't be a really severe punishment. Hundred bets, dude, Yeah,

421
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 2: hundreds of bets, mostly fifty bucks, and then there was

422
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 2: one like for a thousand or whatever, but hundreds of bets,

423
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 2: and then and the account was in somebody else's name.

424
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 2: Thought he had thought he's being really smart, Like, nobody's

425
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 2: gonna know, dude, They know they know, they follow the money,

426
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 2: and the money comes to your bank account. That's all

427
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 2: there is to it. That's it.

428
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: In a much more serious story, we learned that two

429
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: Browns players were robbed at gunpoint by six masked men,

430
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: according to a police report. A team sore has confirmed

431
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: the two players were Greg Newsom and Perryon Winfrey. Neither

432
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: were harmed in the incident, fortunately, but this now makes

433
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: three Brown's players that have been a victim of a

434
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: crime recently. Dimitrick Felton, one of their other players, had

435
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: his car stolen on Sunday. So another unnamed player was

436
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: robbed of his car and his jewelry. So I don't

437
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,719
Speaker 1: know what the heck's going on in Ohio, but somebody's

438
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: got to get some security cameras set up the figure

439
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: that out. I mean, that is a that's a major issue.

440
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: You've got million dollar athletes. I mean you're talking about

441
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: direct investments in your on field product whose lives are

442
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: in danger suddenly, like you got to fix that fast.

443
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, it's well, when you've got a a group

444
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 2: a demographic of guys pro athletes, and you know where

445
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 2: they go, and they and a group of criminals finds

446
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 2: out where they can go and get away with it.

447
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 2: They're going to do it, you know, and and smart

448
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 2: by the athletes they're not doing They're just saying, yeah,

449
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 2: take it, you know, go ahead, you know, let him

450
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 2: have to take the car, take the wall, to take

451
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 2: the jewelry that find, because you know that can all

452
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 2: be replaced, but you can't get shot.

453
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: I gotta imagine there's a meeting of the minds going

454
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: on at Brown Security because and it sounds like these

455
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: things took took police off site, right, but still like

456
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: that's got to be addressed and rectified because you're talking

457
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: about the safety of your players. I mean, that's that's

458
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: some serious stuff. So glad everybody's okay over there. But man,

459
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: that that was eye opening for me when I saw

460
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 1: that today. And then we have Steve our Jets update. Okay,

461
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: the Jets, in their infinite wisdom wisdom, have decided not

462
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: to hold mandatory mini camp next week. They're skipping it

463
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:54,959
Speaker 1: all together. We don't need it. They are citing the

464
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: reason why as follows. The Jets, as we know, are

465
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 1: playing in Hall of Fame game at the Pro Football

466
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, so by virtue of having an additional

467
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 1: preseason game, which is the first preseason game played in

468
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: the summer. As we know, they get to start training

469
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: camp a week early. So they're saying, because we're starting

470
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: training camp a week early and we're playing in the

471
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame game, we get an extra preseason game

472
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: out of it. Coach Salas says, I'm happy with the

473
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: work we've put in this spring.

474
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 3: We're good.

475
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: We don't need mini camp.

476
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 7: Yeah.

477
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: Well, Seeve, I'm telling you right now, I cannot recall

478
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: a time we're an NFL coach decided to forego the

479
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 1: opportunity to practice. Well, now, we all know that a

480
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: lot of these three day mini camps end after two days,

481
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: kind of like a little reward system for the players

482
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 1: if they get their work done through the first two

483
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: days and they've had a relatively successful spring. We see

484
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: that all the time, or we see team building day.

485
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 1: Hey we're not on the practice field today, we're going

486
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: to the movies, you know, like something. We see that

487
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: a lot scrapping a whole mandatory mini camp.

488
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:11,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.

489
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: You don't think it's a big deal.

490
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 2: I don't because certainly they watch these guys and watch

491
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 2: them practice, and they like what they're seeing. If if

492
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 2: Rogers is picking it up and he's got some and

493
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 2: they're not misfiring with the receivers, they can't get the

494
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 2: timing or I get all of that. I think it's

495
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 2: probably and Salah is probably saying, listen, I think it

496
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 2: would be a great gesture of, you know, encouragement to

497
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 2: the players. If we did this, they'll come back ready

498
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 2: to practice. And the fact that they canceled a mandatory

499
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 2: mini camp, that's what I'm talking about now. If it

500
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 2: was now, if they had one hundred percent, and I

501
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 2: don't know that, I haven't been keeping track of the

502
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 2: jets that much. If they were one hundred percent a

503
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 2: ten didn't for the voluntary stuff, I can see it

504
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 2: depending on the one, one or two guys maybe who

505
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 2: didn't show up. Why they didn't show up, Steve, I'm

506
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 2: gonna put my New York I don't know.

507
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put my New York fan hat on here.

508
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: You ready, I'm gonna tell you right now, this is

509
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: what New York fans are gonna say. Yeah, what are

510
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: they thinking? What if they won?

511
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 2: They won, they haven't even made the playoffs.

512
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: Why are they scrapping three practices? This is ludicrous. When

513
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: we're not ready to play the Bills in week one,

514
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: we'll know why, right, That's what New York fans are saying.

515
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 2: I get it. I get it, but I mean, yeah, I'm.

516
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: Not if they don't look good. This is on Monday night,

517
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: Week one. People are gonna point right back to this.

518
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 2: This is as big a deal as Rogers straining his

519
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 2: calf in May. Okay, nobody cares. It's all right, let

520
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 2: me ask you this. Then I get it.

521
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: But how much of an influence do you think Aaron

522
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: Rodgers had in this decision to scrap mandatory mini camp.

523
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 2: That is an intriguing proposition.

524
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: A man who does not think off season workouts by rule.

525
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 2: Even so, if you're gonna have if you have the

526
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 2: mandatory workouts, you can just tell Aaron, say, Aaron, you

527
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 2: can be here in body, in spirit, but you ain't

528
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 2: taking any reps. We're just gonna you're gonna relax. That

529
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 2: kind of thing. I could see that, but I can't

530
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 2: see a head coach, Robert Sala or anybody else with

531
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 2: this guy coming in off You know, if they traded

532
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 2: for they trade forms, I'm going to have him come

533
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 2: in and start calling shots like that. I mean they

534
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 2: get they said, yeah, you got all those other guys

535
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 2: signed by the thing, and that was Nah, that was them,

536
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 2: that wasn't Aaron certainly gave him a vote of confidence.

537
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 2: But ah, I get it. It's an easy, too easy

538
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 2: dots to connect. I just don't think that's probably what happened.

539
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 2: Certainly Rogers is not complaining about it, neither any other guys.

540
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 2: But I don't think Aaron Rodgers is going, hey, let's

541
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 2: let's skip a three day mandatory mini camp. Coach. I

542
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 2: really don't feel it. You have him saying like nothing, No,

543
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 2: I don't think so, all right, I'll I'll let it lie.

544
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 2: I see the two dots that you're trying to connect.

545
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna connect those dots as soon as

546
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't work. At the beginning of the season. Topic

Speaker 1: microphone where the newest Buffalo Bill, Leonard Floyd is addressing

563
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: the media.

564
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 8: He made for the first time and your conversations with

565
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 8: the team leading into the movie that was made.

566
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 9: It's been a great experience so far, getting out there

567
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 9: and getting acclimated to the new team and my new teammates.

568
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 7: Pretty good first.

569
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 10: Day defense and maybe some of the decision making that

570
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 10: went into it, you know.

571
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 7: For you to get uh.

572
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 9: My my take on this defense is UH special defense,

573
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 9: especially after washing it last year with von Uh It's

574
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 9: a defense you want to be a part of. And

575
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 9: uh and just so having the situation led to me

576
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 9: ended up coming here and uh, I'm gonna seize the

577
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 9: moment and uh go out and help the defense be

578
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 9: even more better.

579
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 11: Talk about how this is. It's almost there's a pipeline

580
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 11: of Rams players that are here. It's almost like old

581
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 11: home week for you in some ways, right, Yeah, yeah.

582
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 7: It is.

583
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 9: Uh. I've been sending a lot of some guys I

584
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 9: didn't even know had came from the rounds to the team,

585
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 9: like Travathan.

586
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 7: Tvathan. I ran into him. I'm like, Yo, what's up.

587
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 9: But yeah, it's been good to see some of my

588
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 9: old teammates with my new teammates.

589
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 11: Fun said, he spoke to you. He just pitched to

590
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 11: you Buffalo in the sense of culture, and that's similar

591
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 11: to what he experienced in LA. I know it's very early,

592
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 11: but did you take those take that to heart? And

593
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 11: is that something you're you're finding out here in your

594
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 11: first day in some way?

595
00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I definitely took it to heart because I

596
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 9: call him uh right when I knew I had interest

597
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 9: from the Bills to get uh the inside details on

598
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 9: how the staff work, how to people treat the players,

599
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 9: and uh, how the team, how the team is, and

600
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 9: uh Vaughn was a great guy and telling me that

601
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 9: this great place. Man, you gotta come you know vonn

Speaker 9: and uh.

603
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 7: I I made it happen. We made it happen.

604
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,760
Speaker 8: How special is it, you know, to go from winning

605
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 8: the super Bowl with the Rams into you know, joining

606
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,279

Speaker 9: uh I capitalize on it.

612
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 12: There's a report out there that you had other options

613
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 12: and and maybe even left some money out there to

614
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 12: come here. Why why would you leave money on the

615
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 12: table to come here to Buffalo to play for the Bills?

616

618
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 9: And I I'm examining teams and looking at the rosters

619
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 9: and the Bills the best, you know what I'm saying,

620
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 9: And uh I just felt like if I come here,

621
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 9: I can help help the team get the and win

622
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:17,720
Speaker 9: the game.

623
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 10: A little bit about your skill set, you know, what

624
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 10: you bring to the table. How do you see yourself

625
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 10: fitting in?

626
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 4: Uh?

627
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 9: Pretty much continue with what I've been been doing the

628
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 9: last three years, just continuing.

629
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 7: To uh, just getting better every year.

630
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 9: That's my main thing. I like to try to get

631
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 9: better every year. I plan on stacking on the years

632
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 9: I had in Chicago with this first year here.

633
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 13: What was it like kind of waiting out the free

634
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 13: agent obviously, like letting time kind of pass and waiting

635
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 13: for the reality. Like it doesn't sound easy to kind

636
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:51,919
Speaker 13: of like sit by and watch other people sign.

637
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 14: Uh.

638
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 9: I absolutely was kind of fun for me because, uh,

639
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 9: I didn't really have time off coming from Super Bowl.

640
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 7: Then you gotta go play another season. It gave me

641
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:02,919
Speaker 7: some time off.

642
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 9: I had started me a farm back home, Like I

657
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 9: Uh uh, the belief we had in each other to

658
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 9: get our job done. He know, he got his side

659

00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 9: get to the quarterback and have fun.

661
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,919
Speaker 11: He said that with you here, he might be able

662
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 11: to not have to rush back, you know, from injury.

663
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 11: I mean, what do you sh you know, shoot yourself

664
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,160

665
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 11: the season.

666
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, uh shoot. Planning on being a big dog

667
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 9: to the big dog come back, you know what I'm saying. Uh,

668
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 9: then we share it. Uh that's basically what I plan

669
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 9: on doing.

670
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 8: You're your conversation with bamb What did he actually sell

671
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 8: you on that convinced.

672
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 7: You to science? What did he sell me on?

673
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 8: Cause you know he's a GM now you know what

674
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 8: I'm saying, He's a GM BoNT So you know.

675
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 7: What was that? What?

676
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 8: What what was the what was the selling pitch? I'm

677
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 8: coming to buffet over the now partmembers.

678
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 9: Like Super Bowl Red, like Vaughn was the person who

679
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 9: uh helped me get minds, you know what I'm saying.

680
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 9: And once he said that, I was like, yeah, BN,

681
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 9: we you know that's what I want. So just gotta

682
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 9: come in, do the work, put it in the work

683
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 9: to get there.

684
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 14: You know, the Bills have obviously come short in the

685
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 14: playoffs last couple of years. What would it mean if

686
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 14: you to be part of the reason that they were

687
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 14: able to push farther this year and potentially accomplished their goal?

688
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 9: All right, it'll be big for me, man. It'll show

689
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 9: my hard work and my underdog mentality. Uh, It's just

690
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:15,959
Speaker 9: something I wanted to prove, you know what I'm saying.

691
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 7: And I got to.

692
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 9: What was the beginning of that underdog mentality? How that

693
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 9: how that begin to form?

694
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 7: Shoot?

695
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 9: Uh, I'd probably say when I was in Chicago, I

696
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 9: didn't really get to make the uh the sacks like

697
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 9: I wanted to. And then when I got to LA,

698
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 9: I made sure I had a chip on my shoulder,

699
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 9: you know what I'm saying.

700
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 7: I made sure I worked on my game.

701
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 9: Worked on my craft, and got better so I could

702
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:42,800
Speaker 9: get those sacks.

703
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 7: And I just been building off that.

704
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 9: Any differences between the two two's besides your mentality that

705
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 9: allowed you to flourish in.

706
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:51,879
Speaker 7: My life, the difference between.

707
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 2: Who Chicago and La Uh, Yeah.

708
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 7: A big difference.

709
00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 9: The people I feel like, Uh when you get got

710
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 9: great people in the building. They bring out they bring

711
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 9: out the best in the players. You know what I'm saying.

712
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 9: And I feel the same way with the Bills, like

713
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 9: I might play my best ball just from being on

714
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 9: the Bills, being around a BA, being around great people

715
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 9: and uh, great teammates.

716
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 13: Aside from the people as a range and the people

717
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 13: here in the key to your success over the last

718
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:21,919
Speaker 13: three years, your.

719
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 7: Safe, how you've been able to get out for.

720
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 4: The quarterback house.

721
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 9: Uh, I I probably have to get at get that

722
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 9: to my trainer. I had went to this trainer called

723
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 9: Chuck Smith. Uh Vaughn trained with him too.

724
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 7: Man.

725
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 9: He taught to my craft and ever since then, I've

726
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 9: been attacking each game knowing my game playing and my

727
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 9: risk in my risk.

728
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 7: Uh, when I'm risking the.

729
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 9: Quarterback, like I know all my moves and how to

730
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 9: get the I probably say that I want.

731
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 8: I know you're on the defensive side of things.

732
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 7: For how important to have been.

733
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 8: There quarterback on you know a routine.

734
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 9: Oh, that's big, that's really the biggest thing. And I

735
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 9: got one of the best quarterbacks in the league, top

736
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 9: two quarterback in the league, A real juggernaut type of

737
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 9: quarterback hated playing against him, so I'm happy he's my teammate.

738
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 3: Now, yeah against Josh.

739
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 13: What's it like against Josh Allen?

740
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's he's a beast man. He's a.

741
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 9: Berserker, you know what I'm saying. Like he hard to

742
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 9: stop when he gets going.

743
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:31,919
Speaker 7: Yeah.

744
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 9: He he's a real deal for sure.

745
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 7: All Right.

746
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,760
Speaker 1: That's Leonard Floyd addressing the media after his first practice

747
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: as a Buffalo Bill today signing his contract.

748
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,280
Speaker 2: What exactly, what exactly is a berserker?

749
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:51,439
Speaker 1: It's probably some kind of freakish player, because that's clearly

750
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 1: what he can be from a movie or Josh Allen

751
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: is And he said he's much happier that Josh is

752
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: on his team rather than having to play against him,

753
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: because he said he didn't enjoy that. Uh, to no

754
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: one's surprise, I'm also interested and confirmed. I mean, we

755
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: heard this from some people within the walls of the

756
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: Bills organization that Leonard Floyd was motivated by winning, first

757
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: of all. And you heard him ask the question why

758
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 1: did you leave money on the table when you could

759
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: have been paid more somewhere else to sign with the Bills,

760
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: And he said, because I want to win. And those

761
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: are the exactly the people that the Bill's personnel department

762
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 1: want in this building because they're motivated by something bigger

763
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: than money, and that's the desire to win a championship.

764
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: And this is a guy who's already won one.

765
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 2: I get asked all the time, and you've heard me

766
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 2: talk about it here on the show where people say, what,

767
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 2: you know, what's it going to take for the Bills

768
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 2: to get over the hump? Or you know what's going

769
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 2: to get him over the hump? What's going to you

770
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 2: know what that over the hump phrase that you hear

771
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 2: and I've said, and you know it, I've told you

772
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 2: this a gazillion times, Brownie and all our listeners are

773
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 2: going to rolling their eyes of me. Now, there ain't

774
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 2: no hump. You just got to play well on that

775
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 2: day when the game comes. But I will say this,

776
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 2: there's a mindset that players have when they want to

777
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 2: get through moments like that. And the more guys who

778
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 2: have been through that and know what it is to

779
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 2: overcome a big moment, or to come through in a

780
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 2: big moment, or to conquer a big moment, to win

781
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 2: a big moment, the more guys you have like that,

782
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 2: the more the better chance your team has of doing that. Right,

783
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 2: So guys like Leonard Floyd, von Miller, guys like that

784
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 2: Rap Taylor Rap, they've been there. I mean, they don't

785
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 2: shy away from those they've they've been in those moments.

786
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,919
Speaker 2: They know how to handle them and be successful in them.

787
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,720
Speaker 2: And if there's you know, something that you know, Josh

788
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,399
Speaker 2: can't help these other guys with or whatever, those guys can.

789
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:57,320
Speaker 2: And so I've always said good players make you better.

790
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 2: Certainly Leonard Floyd is a good player, but it's also

791
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 2: that mindset. So if you're looking for a way for

792
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 2: this team to play well in those moments that really matter,

793
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:08,720
Speaker 2: players like Leonard Floyd are those kind of players.

794
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, And he also commented on how Vaughn did recruit him.

795
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: Said you got to come, you gotta come here. So

796
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: he basically said, I'll hold down the fort until Vn

797
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: gets back, and then when he gets back, we share it.

798
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: So things looking on the up and up. Leonard Floyd

799
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 1: sounds like a guy who's got the right kind of

800
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: quote unquote Bill's DNA to be very successful here. As

801
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, he believes, based on the atmosphere

802
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,439
Speaker 1: and the culture here, he has a chance to play

803
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: the best football of his career in a Bill's uniform,

804
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: which would be welcome by everyone. We have to take

805
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: a break here more of your phone calls when we

806
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: come back, though, Mark and West Seneca is going to

813
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: you want on the Bills coming out of their spring practices?

814
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,839

815
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 1: state of readiness for either training camp or the regular season.

816

00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 1: What do you got for his Mark? Here on One

819
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: Bill's Life.

820
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 15: Hey guys, how are you today?

821
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: Good?

822
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 7: Good?

823
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 11: Hey?

824
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 15: Real quick? I'll give you my headline, and I'd like

825
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 15: to make a comment on Judy, who I love, I

826
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 15: like listening to her takes, usually has good insight about

827
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 15: Brandon Bean. First of all, the headline is I want

828
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 15: to see Kinkaid has brought a diversity to the offense

829
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 15: we haven't seen and McDermott's tenure here in Buffalo, and

830
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 15: that Hardy and Sherfield are really stepping up in going

831
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 15: to be a big part of the offense. That's that's

832
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:53,720
Speaker 15: the headline.

833
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 11: I like it.

834
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 15: And then as far as Brandon Bean goes, I don't

835
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 15: know if Judy was criticizing his draft status or whatever,

836
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 15: but I have heard people criticize his drafting and some

837
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 15: of the things he's done. I would just like to

838
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 15: point out, before Brandon being gone here, the Bills were

839
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 15: in Pro sports hell. They were not bad enough to

840
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 15: get the elite talent, and they weren't good enough to

841
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 15: really do any damage or even get to the playoffs

842
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 15: for years and years and years. In a very short time,

843
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 15: that man rebuilt our roster, tore it down, rebuilt it.

844
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 15: And not only did he rebuild it to let's say

845
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 15: a good team or whatever. The last three to four

846
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 15: years we are on a power with any team in

847
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 15: the league with a super Bowl roster. He does it

848
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,760
Speaker 15: different ways. He does things all the time to excite

849
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 15: us who saw this Floyd signing coming, you know, and

850
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 15: you can argue should we have gone for Hopkins or Floyd.

851
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 15: I'm excited about the Floyd signing more than I would

852
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 15: have been for Hopkins. To me, Hopkins would have been

853
00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 15: a luxury that would have suppressed opportunities for other players

854
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 15: that in other moves that they had made this offseason.

855
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 15: Floyd just adds to the defense. So to criticize Brandon Bean,

856
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 15: I'm not excusing any mistakes. General manager is an imperfect science,

857
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,879
Speaker 15: but he is far and above one of the best,

858
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 15: if not the best, in the league. So I just

859
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 15: want to support the guy because I think he's great. Thanks, guys,

860
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:24,280
Speaker 15: and you know we echo.

861
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: Those sentiments Mark, So thanks for the call. Yeah, I mean,

862
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: if you do enough digging, you can see that the

863
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: overwhelming majority of the personnel decisions he has made have

864
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: been on point and made this team better. It's why

865
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: the team has one of the three or four best

866
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:45,320
Speaker 1: rosters in football, one of the deepest rosters in football,

867
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: one of the most talented rosters in football. So yeah,

868
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 1: I mean for us, it's quite frankly, for me anyway,

869
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: I'll just speak for myself. It doesn't even make any

870
00:46:56,280 --> 00:47:02,399
Speaker 1: sense because Steve and I remember the previous seventeen years

871
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: before he and Sean McDermott got here and marks one

872
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 1: hundred percent right. It was pro sports hell, it absolutely

873
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: was in every way, shape and form, because they were

874
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 1: middling it for the longest time, not bad enough to

875
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: get a top draft choice, not good enough to make

876
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and they lived in pro football purgatory seemingly

877
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: for close to two decades. Not seemingly close to two decades.

878
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:31,320
Speaker 3: Right, no question.

879
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,839
Speaker 2: I think even if you believe, even if you believe

880
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 2: Brandon Bean is average, which I have a hard time

881
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 2: saying he's below average as a drafter, I mean, oh,

882
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 2: no way, right, So I mean just say I say

883
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 2: he's been average the and certainly everybody kind of focuses

884
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 2: when they talk about GMS. That's what they look at. Right,

885
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 2: How does he draft?

886
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 3: Well?

887
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, so if Brander Bean's drafted average, I'll say this.

888
00:47:57,800 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 2: The rest of his job, which means signing free agents,

889
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:01,840
Speaker 2: picking the right guys and getting them for value, and

890
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 2: getting guys to play hard that will play hard, and

891
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 2: signing them to these one year deals.

892
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 1: He has a trend with that.

893
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 2: He has been brilliant at that.

894
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: He was doing that five years ago. What everybody's doing

895
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 1: it now.

896
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 2: His trend setting way of doing business and the way

897
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 2: he vets guys and the kind of guys he brings. Certainly,

898
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 2: even if you think he's average at drafting, the guy's

899
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 2: elite at building a roster, even with an average draft

900
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 2: class every year. If that's your take on his draft,

901
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 2: he's elite at building a roster. And that's so. Yes, Okay,

902
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 2: draft is what it is. But the rest of the

903
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 2: GM's job, which goes twelve months a year, in season,

904
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 2: out of season, free agency, all that stuff, the guy's elite.

905
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 2: So that's got to be thrown into that evaluation process

906
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 2: as well. So whether you like his draft classes or not,

907
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,360
Speaker 2: you must love him even more that he can build

908
00:48:55,480 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 2: an elite roster without having drafted well because he has. Yeah,

909
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 2: it's that simple speaking, that's all in that mix.

910
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 1: Speaking of Brandon Bean, he is going to be addressing

911
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 1: the media here as scheduled at the close of practice today.

912
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,320
Speaker 1: We will bring those comments to you next when we

Speaker 10: in a helmet and going through team drills or whatever.

924
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 10: How much progress is he made? What specifically has he

925
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 10: been elevated?

926
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 16: Yeah, really proud of him, you know, to take that

927
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 16: next step. That's probably the obviously you guys have seen

928
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 16: him out here working out he put he put the

929

Speaker 16: parents afterwards, like just so proud of him and thrilled

931
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 16: for where he's at in his journey. Uh, he still

932
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 16: got you know, still got more more milestones to hip.

933
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:58,320
Speaker 16: But to think back, you know, we're just at the

934
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 16: beginning of June, and that was the beginning of Jane anywhere.

935
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 3: And we were just hoping he'd live. And now he's

936
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 3: not only got a normal life, but we're talking about

937
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 3: playing not any football, NFL football. So thrilled for him. Uh,

938
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 3: all the people have been around him and uh, he's

939
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 3: it's an amazing story.

940
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 10: Like one of the next steps before he you know

941
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 10: what I mean, like, yeah, he still has a journey.

942
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 10: Is Is it like a like a step ladder type thing?

943
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 2: Can you outline that?

944
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 3: Yeah?

945
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 16: I mean we're just up in his you know, building

946
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 16: his reps up, and uh, he's great, Like he's mentally

947
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 16: ready to go.

948
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,919
Speaker 3: He's he knows the defense he's in. It's year three

949
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:33,320
Speaker 3: into it.

950
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 16: It's all that the next thing is gonna be, Uh

951
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 16: we got to put pads on and uh, it'll be

952
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,240
Speaker 16: at training camp. But I thought it was really important

953
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 16: for him to uh if he could and felt it

954
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 16: was ready.

955
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 3: You know, this is this is a two way communication.

956
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 16: It's not us saying you got to do this, and

957
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 16: you know it's he's he's worked really hard on the

958
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 16: mental side of this.

959
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 3: Uh, physically he's all clear.

960
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 16: But this is you know, a real you know, a

961
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 16: real deal from a don standpoint, after you've been you know,

962
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 16: to where he was. But you know, the next thing

963
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 16: will be when we get to Saint John Fisher. I

964
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,279
Speaker 16: think he's done. You know, well, you know, through next

965
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 16: week mini camp, continue to ramp him up. You know

966
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,879
Speaker 16: with helmets on. But that'll be probably the next big

967
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 16: hurdle for him, tackling the letter Floyd?

968
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 12: Was the letter Floyd think something that came together quickly?

969
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 12: Is it something you've kind of been looking into for

970
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:24,240
Speaker 12: a while?

971
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 7: And why was he a good fit on the edge?

972
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:30,919
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean you're always, as we say all the time,

973
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 16: you know, roster building is a twelvemonth thing, and I

974
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:37,400
Speaker 16: know people people panic after the draft sometimes, oh you

975
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 16: didn't get this position or that position. You never know,

976
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 16: things were always out there. Some guys didn't get what

977
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 16: they wanted. He's a guy we checked in with before

978
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 16: the draft. He's a guy we stayed in touch with

979
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 16: with his reps and a couple of weeks ago they said, listen,

980
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:57,399
Speaker 16: there is some mutual interest here. We talked loose parameters

981
00:52:58,000 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 16: and just thought it would be good to get on

982
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 16: a call. So I talked to him. It was the

983
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 16: week before last. Had a nice fifteen to twenty minute

984
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 16: conversation with him. Told him about our organization, our team.

985
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 16: We talked about you know, he played at Hardgrave Military

986
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 16: with Shack and Dion there. We were talking about some

987
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 16: of the guys. Obviously he knew Vaughn and and then

988
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 16: you know, a few days later, Vaughn came up to

989
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 16: me and said, hey, I heard you talk to Leonard Floyd.

990
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 16: You know, he reached out and asked him questions, and

991
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:34,360
Speaker 16: so that's kind of how it started. And then after that,

992
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 16: you know, after that talk, we really started talking numbers.

993
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:43,320
Speaker 16: He had some other teams interested and and this weekend

994
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:46,800
Speaker 16: we came to a conclusion that he wanted to be

995
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 16: a bill and he was going to take the deal

996
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 16: we put we had on the table.

997
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 7: How much is this you is potentially valuable to this defense?

998
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, what are some of his traits that stood

999
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 2: out to you as potentially valuable well.

1000
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 16: As a pass rusher? I mean, just the ability to

1001
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 16: you know, get after the passer first. You know, again,

1002
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:08,319
Speaker 16: you gotta you know, you got to the best way

1003
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 16: to play defense in the in this league, in such

1004
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 16: a passing league. Yes, you have to stop the run,

1005
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:14,360
Speaker 16: we know that, but we also got to get to,

1006
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 16: you know, get to the other quarterback, get him off

1007
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 16: the spot, even if you're not sacking him, you know,

1008
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 16: affecting him, uh, you know, hurry and throws things like that.

1009
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,880
Speaker 16: I think the last three years he's just under thirty sacks.

1010
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 16: So to add a guy like that to our group

1011
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 16: adds competition, and you know, I think our guys all

1012
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 16: will will rise up, you know, adding another guy like Leonard.

1013
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 11: Floyd Von talks about Von talked about how this might

1014
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 11: alleviate the urgency for him to have to rush back

1015
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:48,320
Speaker 11: with with Leonard here is that a fair assessment? And

1016
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:51,280
Speaker 11: and and how much does he help, you know, fill

1017
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,360
Speaker 11: that fill that spot for you know, in the interim

1018
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 11: and what is the you know what what when do

1019
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 11: you expect Bond to be back?

1020
00:54:57,600 --> 00:54:57,799
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1021
00:54:57,800 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 16: I don't know when I expect him back. I mean,

1022
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:02,319
Speaker 16: Vaughn is shooting for Week one. That's his target. That's

1023
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 16: never changed. As we say here today, that's still his goal,

1024
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 16: our goal. You know, even if we knew right now

1025
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 16: that he's going to play week one, we would have

1026
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 16: done this. This wasn't a move of old Vaughn might

1027
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 16: not be ready. This was about adding to our group,

1028
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 16: adding another player. And just you know, we like to

1029
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 16: rush in waves.

1030
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 3: We don't.

1031
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 16: We don't play our d line a high volume of snaps.

1032
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 16: We want him fresh getting after that quarterback. So it

1033
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:36,840
Speaker 16: was really just adding another guy to the group. I

1034
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 16: would say, you know, we had talks last summer a

1035
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 16: little bit, and ultimately we didn't.

1036
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:44,880
Speaker 3: We ended up not doing anything.

1037
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 16: And after the season at some point, you know, spoke

1038
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 16: to his his reps, and I spoke to Ed and

1039
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 16: just said, listen, I'm gonna get through the draft and

1040
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:54,880
Speaker 16: after that we'll.

1041
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 3: We'll take a look.

1042
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 16: We'll see where we're at, what money we have left,

1043
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 16: what where you're at, and you know, if we can

1044
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:04,400
Speaker 16: get on the same page, you know, you know, we

1045
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 16: think your best football is ahead of you. But it

1046
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,800
Speaker 16: has to make sense for him and it has to

1047
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 16: make sense for us, and you know, I think in

1048
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 16: the end, I think we found the right deal.

1049
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 14: You've been pretty straightforward at times about Ed, maybe, you know,

1050
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 14: leaving some plays out on the field that he feels

1051
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:22,399
Speaker 14: like you should have made, or maybe you guys feel

1052
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 14: like you should have made. You know, that's probably expected

1053
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 14: when you're a top ten pick, that they're going to

1054
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 14: be pretty high expectations. Yeah, what gives you that confidence

1055
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 14: that he is going to take that step forward and

1056
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:35,800
Speaker 14: develop into that consistent weekend and week out.

1057
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:37,879
Speaker 16: For us that now you're paying him a big Yes,

1058
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 16: I've seen growth in Ed and in more ways than

1059
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:42,800
Speaker 16: just what you see on the field. I think people

1060
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 16: I think there are more plays out there that Ed

1061
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 16: could make. I double down on that. You know Ed

1062
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:50,320
Speaker 16: and I have talked about that. I know Eric Washington's

1063
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 16: talked with him. I know Sean has just again, the

1064
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 16: more he plays, the more experience he gets understanding at

1065
00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 16: times what teams are trying.

1066
00:56:59,480 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 3: To do to him.

1067
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:04,359
Speaker 16: Ed's greatest trait is his get off, and sometimes people

1068
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 16: use that against him and he may run himself, you know,

1069
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,279
Speaker 16: out of out of a play, just a misdirection or whatever,

1070
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 16: knowing what they're trying to do to him, reading his keys.

1071
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 16: Those are the types of things that can you know,

1072
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 16: take him another step. But I think his best footballs

1073
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 16: ahead of him. Obviously we wouldn't have done this move.

1074
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 16: That position is also it's a premium position in our league,

1075
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 16: and they're hard to find, especially if you're having success.

1076
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 3: You know, where do we draft him? We drafted him

1077
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 3: up high.

1078
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 16: It's just it's it's hard to find those and so

1079
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 16: you know, I think we've invested in him through four

1080
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 16: years and I think his like I said, his best

1081
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 16: football is ahead of him, and it's on him and

1082
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 16: us to continue to develop him to be, you know,

1083
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:50,480
Speaker 16: one of those top players. Again, you're looking at those numbers,

1084
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:53,200
Speaker 16: the highest guys making thirty, a lot of guys getting

1085
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 16: in the twenties.

1086
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 3: So if they're any good, you're going to be paying them,

1087
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 3: you know, you pretty good money.

1088
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 8: You Darnton's k progress so fun.

1089
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think Dalton's done a nice job. He's coming

1090
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 16: in here, he's learning. It's still very early, you know,

1091
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 16: you know what's he He hasn't even been really in

1092
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 16: the building a month, but I think he's you know,

1093
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:14,560
Speaker 16: he's he's a great young man.

1094
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:18,000
Speaker 3: He's working hard. He's given himself.

1095
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 16: Every chance he can to make plays out on the

1096
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 16: field by studying, working, you know, working his craft, getting

1097
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 16: with with Dawson and the guys in the room. And

1098
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 16: obviously Rob Words is doing a good job getting him

1099
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 16: schooled up. But you know it's still going to be

1100
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:33,320
Speaker 16: a ramp up for him rookie year. You know, I

1101
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 16: don't I don't want us putting crazy expectations on him.

1102
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 16: I think you know, you set him up to fail

1103
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 16: if you do that. But you know, happy where he's

1104
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 16: at and and looking forward to watching him continue to

1105
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 16: grow in our system.

1106
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 7: More question because he was ultimate t drills his QP

1107
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 7: that option.

1108
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 2: For the start of training Camper in there.

1109
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 16: Yeah, it could be, you know, potentially, but I don't.

1110
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:02,560
Speaker 16: I don't expect us to do that at this point.

1111
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 7: And getting back to Leonard, is it a coincidence that

1112
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:07,720
Speaker 7: you've now you know.

1113
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 11: Have five guys who won a Super Bowl in that

1114
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 11: RAMS team on.

1115
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:13,800
Speaker 16: This was Yeah, I think it's you know, listen, it

1116
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 16: is one of the things you look for is when

1117
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:19,720
Speaker 16: adding people who have done it and who know you know,

1118
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 16: you can always talk about I mean, I can tell

1119
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 16: you some of the great traits that you know, I've

1120
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:26,440
Speaker 16: been a part of teams that made Super Bowls or

1121
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 16: championship games, and there are some commonality, you know, some

1122
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 16: common themes. So anytime you can add someone whether it's

1123
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 16: a coach, a player even more, that can talk through

1124
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 16: what's been there and tell the guys what that team

1125
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 16: had that kind of set.

1126
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 3: Them apart and got them over the top.

1127
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 16: Especially you know once you get into the playoffs where

1128
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 16: you know everything takes and you know, ramps up another level.

1129
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 16: So yes, it's it's not that we were just choosing

1130
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 16: that team, but they are, you know, they wanted a

1131
00:59:58,880 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 16: couple of years ago.

1132
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 7: And and so.

1133
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 3: That's a you know, that's a quality that you know,

1134
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 3: we wouldn't be afraid to you know, add.

1135
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 11: Just as a just as a followup, because I mean,

1136
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 11: you know, Vaughn talked about this a lot last year.

1137
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 11: I mean, imagining leaving LA for Buffalo, I mean of

1138
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 11: offense to Buffalo, but l A is l A. And

1139
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 11: just to have that that kind of thing happened was

1140
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 11: somewhat had heard of, you know, before the Bills became winners.

1141
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean, I think it's, uh, it's a reflection

1142
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 16: of what we've been able to do. Obviously, we haven't

1143
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 16: achieved what we're looking to, that ultimate goal, but I

1144
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 16: think we've we've shown progress, We've shown that we're going

1145
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:39,440
Speaker 16: to be competitive.

1146
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 3: People like to play with Josh Allen. I think that helps.

1147
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 16: And and I think people see that we've been close,

1148
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 16: and you know, they're gonna look at themselves as maybe

1149
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:53,160
Speaker 16: I'm one of those players that can help differentiate.

1150
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 3: It in some of the biggest moments. And and I

1151
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 3: think that's how Leonard saw it.

1152
01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 17: A lot of conversations, you know, with with leading up

1153
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:02,919
Speaker 17: to this, you know, starting last summer, he just said

1154
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 17: that he's really focused on proving people wrong that have

1155
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:08,919
Speaker 17: talked negatively about this contract. Do you get that sense

1156
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 17: that even after he gets paid like this, that you're

1157
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 17: going to give the.

1158
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 3: Best version of that. Yeah, it's wired that way.

1159
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 16: He's he naturally has a chip, and I think he

1160
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:23,840
Speaker 16: is aware that some people question whether he whether he

1161
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 16: earned that or whether he was worth that.

1162
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 3: You know, we don't, like I said, we think it's

1163
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 3: best football is ahead of him.

1164
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 16: We again, just because you left plays out there that

1165
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 16: maybe would have got you to you know, instead of five.

1166
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 3: Sacks seven sacks or four sacks to six sacks something

1167
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:41,280
Speaker 3: like that.

1168
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 16: You know, it doesn't mean you're down on him. It

1169
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 16: just means there's there's more meat on the bone. And

1170
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:50,440
Speaker 16: like I said, ed, it naturally is wired that way.

1171
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:53,200
Speaker 16: He's he wants to you know, he wants to prove

1172
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 16: it and and you know, he still looks at himself

1173
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:57,920
Speaker 16: as a young guy, and and he wants to get

1174
01:01:57,960 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 16: back to the table and see if he can get

1175
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 16: you know, paid even more.

1176
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 7: I could just ask you generally.

1177
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 10: From a defensive standpoint, understanding you still have a mini

1178
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 10: camp and a training camp to get through, but with

1179
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:16,040
Speaker 10: extending it and bringing in Floyd, assessing the defense, the

1180
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:19,920
Speaker 10: players you have. How satisfied are you roster wise with

1181
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 10: where things are at right now? Understanding you still have

1182
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 10: a competition at the middle linebacker position, but given the

1183
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 10: way last season ended, how things stand right now.

1184
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 16: What's your take on Yeah, I mean, Adam, I'm I'm

1185
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 16: never satisfied. I just that's that's never gonna be in

1186
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 16: my DNA. We're always gonna be looking. And you know,

1187
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:41,480
Speaker 16: we just worked out a couple of DB's, we got

1188
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 16: another one coming in. We're we're going to be you know,

1189
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:48,680
Speaker 16: Brian Gain mentioned too this morning. I think we've had

1190
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 16: it eleven or twelve swapped out or added eleven or

1191
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 16: twelve guys since May first. You know, we're still churning

1192
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:57,680
Speaker 16: this roster, trying to make it as competitive and as

1193
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 16: strong as we can before we get to Saint on Fisher.

1194
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 16: Not that we'll stop then, but you want the best

1195
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:06,680
Speaker 16: ninety you can get and go compete it out for

1196
01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:07,480
Speaker 16: that fifty three.

1197
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 3: On the defensive side, you know, I like I like

1198
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:10,960
Speaker 3: some of the guys.

1199
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:13,640
Speaker 16: I mean, you know, in some ways, you know, we

1200
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:16,720
Speaker 16: lost Micah for all, but you know, two games last

1201
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 16: year so just getting a Micah back healthy, Jordan A

1202
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 16: Taylor rap to that group.

1203
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 3: You know, DeMar trending very well.

1204
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 16: For us, and then Trey White, you know, year two

1205
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 16: we're just you know, Trey couldn't come in the latest

1206
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 16: that first year off, you know, the a c L

1207
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:35,280
Speaker 16: for him, his first time with a major injury.

1208
01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 3: So just that alone obviously the biggest question.

1209
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:38,280
Speaker 2: I get it.

1210
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:40,520
Speaker 16: People want to know what the middle linebacker is going

1211
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 16: to be. You know, we we like where we're at,

1212
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 16: We like the group we have. We think they're doing well.

1213
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 16: We don't have pads on though, and that's where ultimately

1214
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:53,400
Speaker 16: these guys are going to have to show up the front.

1215
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 16: You know, Vaughn and Jordan Phillips. You know, we'll see

1216
01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:58,960
Speaker 16: when they're ready. I don't know if they'll be ready

1217
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 16: day one of training camp, but we hope to get

1218
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 16: them back. If not day one soon after. You know,

1219
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 16: we'll be able to update you probably when we get

1220
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 16: down there.

1221
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 3: A little bit on that.

1222
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 16: But adding Leonard Floyd, getting you know, Boogie and aj

1223
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 16: another year in our system. Da Kwan Jones did a

1224
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:16,880
Speaker 16: heck of a job. I like the group where they're at,

1225
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:19,960
Speaker 16: and I think it's going to be very competitive when.

1226
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:20,600
Speaker 3: We get to Rochester.

1227
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:26,640
Speaker 16: My cap situation, you would ask me that, Adam, I've

1228
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:29,520
Speaker 16: been doing a lot of things. I think we're Yeah,

1229
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 16: I think we're around just over four. But that's top

1230
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:39,560
Speaker 16: fifty one. Without going through a twenty minute lecture here

1231
01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:45,440
Speaker 16: top fifty one versus doing some projections with Kevin, Meegank

1232
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:50,600
Speaker 16: and Jim, I'm gonna guess with adding Leonard, we're gonna

1233
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:56,080
Speaker 16: be minus three to five somewhere in there. I don't

1234
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:59,560
Speaker 16: haven't done that in the last day, but somewhere in that.

1235
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 16: So projecting how we would cut that's no injuries, We're

1236
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:06,680
Speaker 16: still gonna have to do some moves at some point

1237
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 16: to create more rooms. So even though today on the

1238
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:12,160
Speaker 16: top fifty one we have I believe a little bit

1239
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 16: over four, we really don't. And just knowing who we

1240
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 16: think you know has the best chance to make our roster,

1241
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 16: how guarantees are shaped and all that, I would say

1242
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:24,880
Speaker 16: it's somewhere gonna be three to five. How much flexibility

1243
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 16: to do anything significant beyond this?

1244
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:31,120
Speaker 12: You said you're still gonna look, but nothing significant.

1245
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:33,919
Speaker 3: I'm gonna look and if somebody wants to come for cheap.

1246
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 3: Come on now, Brandy, you talked to.

1247
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:38,880
Speaker 8: John's point and talked about, you know, when you've brought

1248
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 8: when you first got here, talking about having that sustained success.

1249
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 8: How much of that sustained success have allowed you to

1250
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:48,080
Speaker 8: keep that window open? And how appealing is it to

1251
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 8: Creatus that you try to bring him.

1252
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think it's people people want to join.

1253
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:54,200
Speaker 3: If they have the choice.

1254
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:57,240
Speaker 16: In general, they're gonna want to go somewhere that they

1255
01:05:57,280 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 16: think they're gonna have a legit shot to help the

1256
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:01,560
Speaker 16: team that they see a spot that they can make

1257
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 16: and affect, you know, the ultimate goal.

1258
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:06,440
Speaker 3: And then they want to be on a team that

1259
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:07,480
Speaker 3: they think is a contender.

1260
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:10,520
Speaker 16: You know, everybody nobody wants to be sitting on their

1261
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:13,280
Speaker 16: couch watching their counterparts play in January and February.

1262
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 3: They want to be in those games.

1263
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:18,960
Speaker 16: And so the more times you you know, the deeper

1264
01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 16: your roster is, the more loaded people look at it.

1265
01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 16: You know, sometimes you win some of those those tie breakers,

1266
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:28,880
Speaker 16: and you know, I think that helped us with Leonard,

1267
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 16: you know, choosing us over one of the other contenders.

1268
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 3: Brandon.

1269
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:36,120
Speaker 14: To clarifying the cap, you said about four million in

1270
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:38,480
Speaker 14: space right now top fifty one. But when you project

1271
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 14: when it goes to all fifty three, do you project

1272
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:42,240
Speaker 14: to be over right now?

1273
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:43,920
Speaker 7: I do, That's what I'm saying.

1274
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 16: Yeah, so I'm projecting again. It's you've got some battles

1275
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:50,400
Speaker 16: that I don't I don't know who's gonna win. But

1276
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:53,000
Speaker 16: you can take this guy out here moving it around.

1277
01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:56,600
Speaker 16: When we did it the other day before I think

1278
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 16: I think it was before we were counting Leonard in Jay.

1279
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:01,640
Speaker 3: Somewhere in the.

1280
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:04,160
Speaker 16: Three to five that we would be over if we

1281
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 16: had to pair this roster down to fifty three right

1282
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:09,840
Speaker 16: now based on what we know, and that doesn't count.

1283
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 16: You know, if a guy goes down and he's out

1284
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:15,760
Speaker 16: for the season in training camp before we choose that,

1285
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:18,600
Speaker 16: you're you got to add that on top. So that's

1286
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:22,640
Speaker 16: not losing anybody on a season and ending injury. It is,

1287
01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 16: you know, giving us a little bit of buffers. You know,

1288
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 16: if if we had to start with Vaughn on Popper

1289
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 16: or something like that, but again, hopefully he'll be ready

1290
01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:33,160
Speaker 16: to go.

1291
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 13: Cap being as tight as it is and like being over,

1292
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:38,919
Speaker 13: you know right now, how do you decide that Leonard

1293
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:41,120
Speaker 13: Floyd is the best use of that money, Like how

1294
01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:43,240
Speaker 13: does that process work where you're like, Okay, we only

1295
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:45,440
Speaker 13: have so much to work with, but he's worth kind

1296
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:46,880
Speaker 13: of using some of that on.

1297
01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:49,520
Speaker 16: Yeah, you think you look at at his skill level

1298
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 16: and his skill set, and we talked about it with Ed.

1299
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:55,560
Speaker 16: He plays a premium position as a pass rusher, and

1300
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 16: so sometimes there's moves you gotta make it it'll cause

1301
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 16: us a little heartache at the fifty three and how

1302
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 16: we have to do things, whether it's push some money

1303
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:07,880
Speaker 16: down the line or or release a player, trade a

1304
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 16: player that has value. You know, we'll consider all that,

1305
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:17,080
Speaker 16: especially at positions that we feel we're deeper. And but again,

1306
01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:20,559
Speaker 16: just adding competition to the group and getting a guy

1307
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:23,800
Speaker 16: with his pedigree in here, I thought it was worth

1308
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:24,479
Speaker 16: adding him.

1309
01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 3: You know, at that price, what do you.

1310
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:27,679
Speaker 7: Need to see from Kyer?

1311
01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:30,240
Speaker 16: You love for him to become a consistent starting out

1312
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:32,160
Speaker 16: for you in a second year. Yeah, I mean I

1313
01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 16: think Kyer, you know, I thought, you know last year,

1314
01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:38,560
Speaker 16: first year, he really did some good things, especially on

1315
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 16: the field. You know, on game day, I thought there

1316
01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:43,800
Speaker 16: was some rookie things that he did in practice that

1317
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 16: sometimes said you know, you know, don't do that. They

1318
01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 16: just some learning things. But you know, in all fairness

1319
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:54,400
Speaker 16: to him, I thought he you know, in games, he

1320
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:56,200
Speaker 16: cleaned up a lot of that. So really it's just

1321
01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:59,479
Speaker 16: getting that to translate and being a more consistent player

1322
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:02,439
Speaker 16: in practice, which I think he's showing and I think

1323
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:05,760
Speaker 16: that will continue to translate on games. But he's doing Listen,

1324
01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 16: Kyer worked really hard in the offseason, came back early.

1325
01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:11,800
Speaker 3: As well to have himself ready.

1326
01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:15,639
Speaker 16: I wish I could say, like, hey, Kyer's not putting

1327
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:17,960
Speaker 16: all his effort in or he's not studying. He is

1328
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:21,360
Speaker 16: all in as much as anybody, and I think you know,

1329
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 16: you will see him continue to progress. You know, us

1330
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:26,599
Speaker 16: here though, we're gonna make everyone earn. It doesn't matter

1331
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:29,560
Speaker 16: where you were selected or what your salary is. And

1332
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 16: so Kyer understands that and he's prepared for the challenge.

1333
01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:38,400
Speaker 11: Coud, you've had talks discussies with Diggs back in April.

1334
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:40,559
Speaker 7: Do you anticipate he will be here for a minutes

1335
01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 7: for his next week?

1336
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:45,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I anticipate everyone will be here. I'm

1337
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 3: not I haven't been told otherwise. So yeah, hopefully, hopefully all.

1338
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:52,200
Speaker 16: All ninety will be here in some form or fashion,

1339
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:54,400
Speaker 16: I know some guys may be rehabbing, but hopefully everyone

1340
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:54,840
Speaker 16: will be here.

1341
01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:57,799
Speaker 8: And Deandrew Hopkins birthday as to day you get a carl.

1342
01:09:57,720 --> 01:10:00,639
Speaker 3: With him after birthday, I tell new Happy birthday.

1343
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:01,320
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1344
01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:05,280
Speaker 10: What's your take on your takeoff and the strategy that

1345
01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:06,839
Speaker 10: you could produce?

1346
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:09,559
Speaker 3: Decision? Yeah, I mean, Ryan, I'm not really a fan

1347
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:09,840
Speaker 3: of it.

1348
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:14,320
Speaker 16: I was hoping that it wouldn't pass and that we

1349
01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:16,000
Speaker 16: would take some more time to look at it. I

1350
01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:19,400
Speaker 16: understand they're trying to get the you know, the safety

1351
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:22,920
Speaker 16: and there's some you know, depends on who you ask,

1352
01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:26,400
Speaker 16: what you know. We're certain things preventable, you know, by

1353
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:30,280
Speaker 16: changing the play or not. I'm I am excited and

1354
01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:34,320
Speaker 16: not excited. I'm at least appreciate that. Uh, they only

1355
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:37,640
Speaker 16: did it for one year and hopefully I know the

1356
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:41,280
Speaker 16: special teams, coaches and even players were involved in trying to,

1357
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:42,599
Speaker 16: you know, save this thing.

1358
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 3: I'm hoping that we.

1359
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:47,160
Speaker 16: Can all put our heads together and you know, come

1360
01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:50,320
Speaker 16: up with with something that's better than what we're going

1361
01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:52,800
Speaker 16: to do this year. Maybe there will be some strategies

1362
01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:56,200
Speaker 16: we'll see again. I know they'll obviously look at the

1363
01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:59,000
Speaker 16: health and safety of it, which no one's trying not

1364
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:01,680
Speaker 16: to make the game safe for just trying to not

1365
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:06,240
Speaker 16: take certain elements out of the game. But again, we'll

1366
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:08,760
Speaker 16: see how it goes this year and then hopefully the

1367
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:10,639
Speaker 16: best thing is yet to come.

1368
01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:13,960
Speaker 3: Okay, thank you, all.

1369
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:18,439
Speaker 1: Right, that's jam Brandon Bean addressing the media, And as

1370
01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:20,000
Speaker 1: we told you at the top of the show, one

1371
01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:22,840
Speaker 1: of the more encouraging things we're seeing tomorrow Hamlin out

1372
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 1: of practice with a helmet, participating in team reps. Brandon

1373
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:29,960
Speaker 1: informed the media that he did that for the first

1374
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:33,640
Speaker 1: time late last week in Ota, so this is not

1375
01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:35,280
Speaker 1: the first day he has done it. It's just the

1376
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 1: first time we have seen it having access to practice,

1377
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:42,280
Speaker 1: So very encouraging to see that. Bean told us that

1378
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:46,120
Speaker 1: Hamlin actually called his parents after that first practice late

1379
01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:50,960
Speaker 1: last week. As his comeback effort continues, Brandon said, the

1380
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:54,519
Speaker 1: next step is getting him in pats, which you know

1381
01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:57,439
Speaker 1: we'll be coming sooner rather than later, and hopefully that

1382
01:11:57,560 --> 01:12:00,240
Speaker 1: codes off without a hitch as well. But just six

1383
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:04,240
Speaker 1: months removed Steve, five months actually now i'm thinking about

1384
01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:06,640
Speaker 1: it's only June. Yeah, it's pretty remarkable.

1385
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:10,160
Speaker 2: It is remarkable, and it's it's a great milestone for

1386
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:13,800
Speaker 2: him interesting, you know, pads is a big thing. I'm

1387
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:18,679
Speaker 2: as people. We say it flippantly, and you hear guys

1388
01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:22,160
Speaker 2: all the time, especially old guys like me, say how

1389
01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:24,280
Speaker 2: soft the game is, and how you know how they

1390
01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:26,720
Speaker 2: you know, they're changing the kickoff rules and got yat.

1391
01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 2: It goes on and on about it's flag football is

1392
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:33,640
Speaker 2: the easy one. Listen. It's still a separating factor and

1393
01:12:33,720 --> 01:12:35,800
Speaker 2: it's still a milestone for all these guys. You're coming

1394
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:37,800
Speaker 2: back from an injury, you've got to go full go. Okay,

1395
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:40,559
Speaker 2: full go in helmets and shorts is one thing. Full

1396
01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:44,519
Speaker 2: going pads or full going preseason games. We've said a

1397
01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:48,080
Speaker 2: lot about the middle linebacker spot with the Bills. That

1398
01:12:48,760 --> 01:12:51,920
Speaker 2: competition and that evaluation process for who's gonna play is

1399
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:54,400
Speaker 2: going to be in large measure decided once they get

1400
01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:58,960
Speaker 2: into pads. It's it's a thing. It's a thing for

1401
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:03,120
Speaker 2: every player. It's a thing for the coaches. Guys will

1402
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:09,120
Speaker 2: guys who have flashed during mini camps and OTAs and

1403
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:14,240
Speaker 2: the run up to training camp. Guys absolutely disappear when

1404
01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:16,639
Speaker 2: the pads go on, and then other guys are like, wow,

1405
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:21,320
Speaker 2: where has he been? You know, some guys are all

1406
01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:23,439
Speaker 2: about it. When it comes to the pads go on another.

1407
01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:27,000
Speaker 2: Guys absolutely are not their best when it gets physical.

1408
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:29,840
Speaker 2: So it's a big milestone, not only for Demorrow, but

1409
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 2: all these guys. And you know, it's hard to evaluate

1410
01:13:34,479 --> 01:13:37,000
Speaker 2: them completely even in a physical and I mean in

1411
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:39,559
Speaker 2: a in a medical way until they get out there

1412
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:41,240
Speaker 2: and start leaning on each other.

1413
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:44,519
Speaker 1: One other comment by being that was very interesting. He

1414
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:49,000
Speaker 1: said the signing of Floyd was mutually exclusive from the

1415
01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:52,679
Speaker 1: anticipated return of von Miller. They did not sign him

1416
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 1: as a bridge and a stop gap maneuver, you know,

1417
01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:03,040
Speaker 1: before Von comes back from his ACL injury. Basically, Bean

1418
01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:06,960
Speaker 1: said his target Vaughan has been Week one all along.

1419
01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:11,160
Speaker 1: That hasn't changed. But this Floyd's signing wasn't a move

1420
01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:14,200
Speaker 1: that was made in case Vaughan isn't ready. We were

1421
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:17,240
Speaker 1: interested in adding another quality guy to the group. So

1422
01:14:17,320 --> 01:14:19,639
Speaker 1: the signing of Floyd had nothing to do with Vaughan's

1423
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:24,200
Speaker 1: trajectory for his return from ACL surgery. So I thought

1424
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:27,880
Speaker 1: that was interesting. And then as far as the cap

1425
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:31,920
Speaker 1: is concerned, if you projected forward to the final fifty

1426
01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:34,439
Speaker 1: three man roster, which means the top fifty one salaries

1427
01:14:34,479 --> 01:14:37,360
Speaker 1: on your roster, comes September second, or whenever the fifty

1428
01:14:37,400 --> 01:14:39,040
Speaker 1: three man roster has to be formed for the new

1429
01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:42,200
Speaker 1: league year. He said, they are projecting they will be

1430
01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:45,200
Speaker 1: three to five million dollars over the cap at that

1431
01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:49,040
Speaker 1: point in time, and because of that, they are going

1432
01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:51,920
Speaker 1: to have to make other moves to make sure they're

1433
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:55,120
Speaker 1: under and on top of that, Steve, it pretty much

1434
01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:58,679
Speaker 1: means spending money is done unless you make some major

1435
01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:02,720
Speaker 1: move off the roster to create more cap space or

1436
01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:05,240
Speaker 1: maybe sign another player to an extension to make their

1437
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:06,559
Speaker 1: cap figure this year lower.

1438
01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:09,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're gonna have to do some gymnastics. And plus

1439
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:11,080
Speaker 2: it's they maybe three or four million over but their

1440
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:13,639
Speaker 2: top fifty one, but they're gonna need an extra four

1441
01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:16,479
Speaker 2: to five just to get through the season because of

1442
01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:20,080
Speaker 2: the moves that are always dictated by injuries, guys coming

1443
01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:24,280
Speaker 2: and going off the roster, and it's a lot of

1444
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:27,519
Speaker 2: money out on the table and they've they've still got

1445
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:29,360
Speaker 2: some work to do to fit it under.

1446
01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:31,880
Speaker 1: Break time for us here, but when we come back,

1447
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:34,600
Speaker 1: more of your phone calls, what is the headline you

1448
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:38,600
Speaker 1: want on the bills coming out of the spring practices?

1449
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:41,439
Speaker 1: Give us a sexy headline for the Bills coming out

1450
01:15:41,479 --> 01:15:44,280
Speaker 1: of spring workouts. When we return here on One Bill's Live,

1451
01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:46,599
Speaker 1: presented by co Lot of Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1452
01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:56,200
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown,

1453
01:15:56,240 --> 01:15:59,599
Speaker 1: Steve TASKI do you want to Tuesday and Ota Tuesday

1454
01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:01,880
Speaker 1: for the Bill. They're off the practice field, wrapping up

1455
01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:04,600
Speaker 1: the day here at One Bill's Drive, and we are

1456
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:08,799
Speaker 1: asking you for the headline you want on the Bills

1457
01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:12,840
Speaker 1: after spring practices wrap up next week with mandatory mini

1458
01:16:12,920 --> 01:16:15,320
Speaker 1: camp and we go to the tweet sheet now for

1459
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:18,639
Speaker 1: some comments. Tweets sheet brought to you by Corgan Moving Systems,

1460
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:21,800
Speaker 1: the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills, and

1461
01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 1: Connor says nothing. The last few years, Buffalo has been

1462
01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:28,599
Speaker 1: all over the national media as the Super Bowl favorite,

1463
01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:31,880
Speaker 1: slash top contender. I want the rest of the league

1464
01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:34,679
Speaker 1: to forget about Buffalo get back to being the hunter

1465
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:40,240
Speaker 1: versus the hunted Go Bills. So no headlines for him.

1466
01:16:40,240 --> 01:16:42,120
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts about that, Brownie? I mean, we

1467
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:44,240
Speaker 2: went round and around with that. Last year. We were

1468
01:16:44,720 --> 01:16:46,400
Speaker 2: we were the flavor of the month last year, the

1469
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:51,639
Speaker 2: entire offseason after the thirteen second game. Now this year,

1470
01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:55,080
Speaker 2: because of the Cincinnati game, everybody's like, you know, the

1471
01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:59,559
Speaker 2: the Bill stink. They write them off. There their windows closed, YadA, YadA, YadA.

1472
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:03,600
Speaker 2: Now going into this season, tough schedule, What do you

1473
01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:05,240
Speaker 2: you think that means anything.

1474
01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:09,120
Speaker 1: I believe it's easier to be the hunter than the hunted.

1475
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:14,760
Speaker 1: I think it's mindset why, psyche wise, I think it's

1476
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 1: easier to be the hunter because you feel like you've

1477
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:20,080
Speaker 1: got nothing to lose, you know what I mean. If

1478
01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:22,000
Speaker 1: you're the hunted, you're like, oh man, people are coming

1479
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:26,000
Speaker 1: for us. You know, we won the division. And in

1480
01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:27,840
Speaker 1: a way in the AFC East, the Bills are still

1481
01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:32,800
Speaker 1: the hunted, the three time defending division champs, so they

1482
01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 1: are the hunted from that standpoint, but from a national

1483
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,639
Speaker 1: media perspective, they are very much under the radar. Right now,

1484
01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:39,760
Speaker 1: the flavor of the month is the Jets because of

1485
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:42,920
Speaker 1: the Rogers trade. Everybody's still gogo over the Bengals, and

1486
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:45,800
Speaker 1: I understand why. And the Chiefs are the defending Super

1487
01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:50,599
Speaker 1: Bowl champions, so the shine is off the Bills. They're

1488
01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:52,760
Speaker 1: lying in the weeds, and when they're eight and one,

1489
01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:56,640
Speaker 1: maybe people will take notice. Where do you do you

1490
01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:59,360
Speaker 1: think it's all poppycock. I'm getting that feeling from you.

1491
01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:05,719
Speaker 2: I don't know why people like people think the players

1492
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:09,120
Speaker 2: think like like, nobody cares if the fans like it better.

1493
01:18:09,200 --> 01:18:10,759
Speaker 2: That way, they're not playing.

1494
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:14,040
Speaker 1: I think it's easier on their nerves, right, I think

1495
01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:15,800
Speaker 1: it is. I think it comes down to that more

1496
01:18:15,880 --> 01:18:16,160
Speaker 1: you think.

1497
01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:18,600
Speaker 2: I mean, the players are and I get it. You

1498
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:20,639
Speaker 2: can pick your own you can pick your own motivation.

1499
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:22,880
Speaker 2: Right as a player, you're like, yeah, I like you

1500
01:18:22,960 --> 01:18:25,000
Speaker 2: know when nobody thinks I can do it? Yeah, I

1501
01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:27,080
Speaker 2: get all that. You know, and now everybody now that

1502
01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:29,400
Speaker 2: you work your whole life get in respect, and then

1503
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:32,800
Speaker 2: when you get it, you act like you don't got it, right, Okay.

1504
01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:35,519
Speaker 2: Thurman was great at that, Right, He's the best all

1505
01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:37,639
Speaker 2: around back in the National Football League, and he says,

1506
01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:40,479
Speaker 2: why you got to qualify with all around? I'm the

1507
01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:43,799
Speaker 2: best back, And he's like a chip on his shoulder

1508
01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:45,760
Speaker 2: because they paid him a compliment, right, stuff like that.

1509
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:48,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, we all do that, but fans are Michael Jordan

1510
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:49,920
Speaker 1: and I took that person.

1511
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:53,000
Speaker 2: Exactly, and I took that personally, and I took that

1512
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:58,800
Speaker 2: compliment personally and used it as motivation. All of us

1513
01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:04,000
Speaker 2: have that mentality, But for the players in the locker room, yeah,

1514
01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:06,519
Speaker 2: they're a long way away from that. Every game takes

1515
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:09,880
Speaker 2: care of itself. Motivationally, you got to be motivated on

1516
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:12,080
Speaker 2: a day to day basis. And I get it. You

1517
01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:14,760
Speaker 2: know you you tend to read everything that's written about you,

1518
01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:18,640
Speaker 2: whether you say you do or not, somebody tells you

1519
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:22,960
Speaker 2: and I I just don't think it has the weight

1520
01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:28,920
Speaker 2: that people think it does. Certainly it's a thing, no question,

1521
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:33,519
Speaker 2: the public perception of the team that you're on and

1522
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:36,000
Speaker 2: this and in this league in particular, where you can't

1523
01:19:36,120 --> 01:19:40,520
Speaker 2: escape it. I don't know that it carries the psychological

1524
01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:43,920
Speaker 2: weight we all think it does, because, for instance, I

1525
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:47,800
Speaker 2: don't think the preseason expectations of the Buffalo Bills had

1526
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:51,559
Speaker 2: anything to do with the way their season ended. That's fair,

1527
01:19:52,640 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 2: but you can't help it, right, I mean we right,

1528
01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:01,400
Speaker 2: we're all like going, nobody's gonna believe well when the

1529
01:20:01,439 --> 01:20:03,080
Speaker 2: Bills go out, jump out to like what you said,

1530
01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:05,320
Speaker 2: eight and one start, Well, where do you think the

1531
01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:09,519
Speaker 2: expectations are going to be? Right? So just take this

1532
01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:12,280
Speaker 2: one week at a time, Okay, it's a week to

1533
01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:12,960
Speaker 2: week league.

1534
01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:13,360
Speaker 3: It is.

1535
01:20:13,560 --> 01:20:15,000
Speaker 2: As our friend Murph always.

1536
01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:18,400
Speaker 1: Said, that's right. Jack on the tweets sheet says, my

1537
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:22,439
Speaker 1: headline is returning to health show us that Allan's arm

1538
01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:24,720
Speaker 1: and von'snee are looking fully healed and ready to head

1539
01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:27,960
Speaker 1: into twenty twenty three, not to mention a healthy Hamlin

1540
01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:31,000
Speaker 1: ready to contribute and a healed and hungry team Psyche

1541
01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:33,680
Speaker 1: after the way they were mentally exhausted at the end

1542
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:38,559
Speaker 1: of twenty two. It showed again, Cincy. Yeah, it absolutely showed.

1543
01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:41,280
Speaker 1: But things are on the up. Allan's arm looks good

1544
01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:44,360
Speaker 1: out here in practice. I'll tell you that. Yeah, Von's

1545
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:46,519
Speaker 1: knee is still a work in progress. Well, but we

1546
01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:48,400
Speaker 1: just had hamling him back on the practice field and

1547
01:20:48,439 --> 01:20:49,080
Speaker 1: a helmet today.

1548
01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:51,560
Speaker 2: Vaughan is going to come back. He is going to

1549
01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:53,519
Speaker 2: come back one hundred percent. He's going to play well.

1550
01:20:53,960 --> 01:20:56,880
Speaker 2: That's going to happen. The health of this team and

1551
01:20:57,000 --> 01:21:03,640
Speaker 2: the injuries, both major and minor, were the story of

1552
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:06,400
Speaker 2: last season for me. The DeMar Hamlein injury, the Mike

1553
01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:09,880
Speaker 2: al Hyde injury, the Von Miller injury, the Daikwon Jones injury.

1554
01:21:09,880 --> 01:21:14,599
Speaker 2: At the end, and go down the list, Christian Benford injuries,

1555
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:21,360
Speaker 2: Spencer Brown injuries. I mean, the list was long, and

1556
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:24,840
Speaker 2: exhaustive last year. If that changes this year and gets

1557
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:26,439
Speaker 2: back to where it was two and three years ago,

1558
01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:28,640
Speaker 2: where the team was relatively healthy, maybe one of the

1559
01:21:28,840 --> 01:21:32,760
Speaker 2: healthiest teams around. Yeah, you're gonna Yeah, all your hopes

1560
01:21:32,760 --> 01:21:34,040
Speaker 2: and dreams have a chance to come through.

1561
01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 1: Then John on the tweet, she says, my headline is

1562
01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:41,920
Speaker 1: Bill signed, d hop The entire fan base wants this.

1563
01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:45,720
Speaker 1: Please get it done. We'll be excited, win, loser, draw.

1564
01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:48,920
Speaker 1: We will spend the money to see the product. John

1565
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:53,800
Speaker 1: wants more offensive weapons, which was the mantra at the

1566
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:56,760
Speaker 1: end of the playoffs last season. People said all in

1567
01:21:56,920 --> 01:21:59,560
Speaker 1: on offense. And I was kind of a proponent of

1568
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:02,559
Speaker 1: that my because what did we see in the Super Bowl?

1569
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 1: We saw a Philadelphia Eagles team with one of the

1570
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:08,519
Speaker 1: best defenses in football, led the league in sacks by

1571
01:22:08,560 --> 01:22:11,920
Speaker 1: a mile. I mean, they were secretariat in the sack

1572
01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:16,920
Speaker 1: race last season. And what did it mean the Super Bowl? Nothing?

1573
01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:20,040
Speaker 1: They got thirty six hung on them in the Super Bowl.

1574
01:22:21,200 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 2: That's when at the end of the last season all

1575
01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:25,320
Speaker 2: of us were talking about, Man, it is an arms

1576
01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:27,280
Speaker 2: race in the AFC. It's an arms race. You just

1577
01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:29,760
Speaker 2: got to keep up. You gotta score points period. That's it,

1578
01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:34,439
Speaker 2: and it certainly looked that way in the NFL. It'll

1579
01:22:34,479 --> 01:22:37,000
Speaker 2: be interesting to see the rule changes for this year,

1580
01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:40,960
Speaker 2: how they affect team's abilities to score consistently, and what

1581
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:43,639
Speaker 2: the league's going to look like on the scoreboard because

1582
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:45,439
Speaker 2: some you know, we've seen it in the past, the

1583
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:47,439
Speaker 2: pingulum swings a little bit. There's some you know, some

1584
01:22:47,640 --> 01:22:50,519
Speaker 2: years where it looks like everybody's hanging forty points on everybody,

1585
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:52,880
Speaker 2: and then the next year it's it's harder to do it,

1586
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:55,720
Speaker 2: and it's subtle rule changes that help them do that.

1587
01:22:57,600 --> 01:22:59,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's going to be the case

1588
01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:01,720
Speaker 2: and the trend this year that keeps keeps on doing that,

1589
01:23:02,479 --> 01:23:04,479
Speaker 2: but it certainly felt like that at the end of

1590
01:23:04,520 --> 01:23:06,680
Speaker 2: the last season, Like you said, it was an arms race,

1591
01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:08,800
Speaker 2: and we all we were talking about it. The Bills

1592
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:10,640
Speaker 2: I think, have done their share to keep up in

1593
01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:15,519
Speaker 2: that in that race. They're going to be fine. They

1594
01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:18,840
Speaker 2: were better than their the end of their season would

1595
01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:22,560
Speaker 2: have indicated. They were better offensively than the end of

1596
01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:25,960
Speaker 2: the season would have indicated, So I'm they didn't have

1597
01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:27,519
Speaker 2: as far to go as a lot of other teams.

1598
01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:30,599
Speaker 2: And we'll see where they land when when the when

1599
01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:32,840
Speaker 2: the smoke clears, they say, the smoke clears, of the

1600
01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:36,599
Speaker 2: smoke outside, when the smoke clears and the Quebec fires

1601
01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:40,400
Speaker 2: go away. We'll find out how they did. But I

1602
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:42,920
Speaker 2: like where they're at. Certainly d Hop could help them,

1603
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:44,880
Speaker 2: no question. Now he's a good player. Good players make

1604
01:23:44,920 --> 01:23:48,439
Speaker 2: you better. But I like where they're at right now anyway,

1605
01:23:48,760 --> 01:23:49,559
Speaker 2: whether he's here or not.

1606
01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:51,080
Speaker 3: Fair enough.

1607
01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:56,439
Speaker 1: One final comment on the three sheet, my headline, Ken

1608
01:23:56,560 --> 01:23:59,560
Speaker 1: Caid in line for sixty five percent of the offensive

1609
01:23:59,640 --> 01:24:04,600
Speaker 1: snap elam looking like an elite corner, Spencer Brown winning.

1610
01:24:04,720 --> 01:24:08,400
Speaker 2: Every rep, some pretty good ones there.

1611
01:24:08,560 --> 01:24:11,920
Speaker 1: Well, i'll tell you this, Steve. If you get all

1612
01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:18,080
Speaker 1: of those things from those three players, yeah, Wolf, this

1613
01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:22,120
Speaker 1: team's gonna be a juggernaut. Yeah they might be anyway,

1614
01:24:22,240 --> 01:24:27,320
Speaker 1: but yeah, you get three guys like that, young players

1615
01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:31,639
Speaker 1: filling major roles, it lifts you to another level.

1616
01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:35,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, no question, that's yeah, all three of those forget it.

1617
01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:40,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, elim elite Spencer Brown not losing a rep. Kincaid,

1618
01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:43,960
Speaker 1: sixty five percent of the offensive snatches means he's probably

1619
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:44,639
Speaker 1: making plays.

1620
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:49,640
Speaker 2: That's yeah, and that's without that's dreamy. Yeah, they go

1621
01:24:49,760 --> 01:24:53,280
Speaker 2: twelve personnel that much, or you know, even if Kincaid's

1622
01:24:53,280 --> 01:24:59,760
Speaker 2: seeing some twelve personnel and some single tight end sets. Yeah,

1623
01:24:59,800 --> 01:25:01,639
Speaker 2: that's says a lot about where the team's headed offensive.

1624
01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:06,760
Speaker 2: That's awesome. Yeah, sure, pretty cool. Let's go.

1625
01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:07,360
Speaker 1: I'll take it.

1626
01:25:07,560 --> 01:25:09,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, in space, I'm all about it.

1627
01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:12,120
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the phone here and squeeze Ron

1628
01:25:12,200 --> 01:25:13,920
Speaker 1: from all to in. What do you got for us?

1629
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:14,160
Speaker 3: Ron?

1630
01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:18,320
Speaker 4: Hey, good afternoon, gentlemen. Yesterday you were guys who spent

1631
01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:21,360
Speaker 4: some time talking about kickoff covers, the change in the

1632
01:25:21,479 --> 01:25:24,080
Speaker 4: kickoff role and how that could affect maybe a player

1633
01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:25,760
Speaker 4: not being in a team, or how the players will

1634
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:28,720
Speaker 4: be used. What I don't understand is, and I'm sure

1635
01:25:28,760 --> 01:25:30,599
Speaker 4: you'll be able to explain to me, as punk coverage

1636
01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:32,719
Speaker 4: would be the same thing, right, are the same players

1637
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:34,320
Speaker 4: in a punk coverage? I just want to know what

1638
01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 4: the difference is between the two special team means a

1639
01:25:36,360 --> 01:25:38,360
Speaker 4: punk coverage and kick coverage. I'll hang up and listen.

1640
01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:39,479
Speaker 2: Thank you. Yeah, that's good.

1641
01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:41,320
Speaker 1: I to defer to the special teams expert.

1642
01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:44,679
Speaker 2: They are different. You go, you'll have a handful of guys,

1643
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 2: maybe half them, five or six that will be on

1644
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:49,519
Speaker 2: both of those coverage teams, but you'll have other guys

1645
01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:53,280
Speaker 2: that are interchanged. That's the difference. It's not the same

1646
01:25:53,360 --> 01:25:58,719
Speaker 2: eleven guys. Usually kickoffs you can usually get away, particularly

1647
01:25:58,840 --> 01:26:02,479
Speaker 2: these days, you can get away with lighter guys going

1648
01:26:02,520 --> 01:26:06,719
Speaker 2: down because they can't form wedges. Plus, the return team

1649
01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:09,040
Speaker 2: has to have lighter guys because they start up close

1650
01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:10,439
Speaker 2: to the line of scrimmage and they got to race

1651
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:13,280
Speaker 2: back to get in front of the return guy, and

1652
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:15,920
Speaker 2: so you can't have a fat guy who can't keep

1653
01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:19,479
Speaker 2: up up front, which is where everybody's at. And you

1654
01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:21,240
Speaker 2: don't want to put a fat guy already back there

1655
01:26:21,240 --> 01:26:23,639
Speaker 2: because you're only allowed three guys back inside the fifteen

1656
01:26:23,720 --> 01:26:25,720
Speaker 2: yard line and they may have to feel the ball.

1657
01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:31,040
Speaker 2: So because of that, kickoff coverage has gotten lighter and faster,

1658
01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:34,120
Speaker 2: and punt coverage has kind of stayed the same. You

1659
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:37,720
Speaker 2: need some bigger bodies down inside because once in a while,

1660
01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:41,400
Speaker 2: when you get like the other team puts a safe

1661
01:26:41,479 --> 01:26:43,800
Speaker 2: punt return team out there, which means they leave their

1662
01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:46,920
Speaker 2: regular defense on the line. So you got some jimoke

1663
01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:49,960
Speaker 2: like me in there playing the up back or the

1664
01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:52,439
Speaker 2: guard or the tackle on punt coverage. All of a sudden,

1665
01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:55,040
Speaker 2: I'm lined up across from von Miller. He gives me

1666
01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:58,040
Speaker 2: the adios and he's back there blocking a punt. So

1667
01:26:58,240 --> 01:27:00,360
Speaker 2: you got to have some bigger bodies on punk coverage,

1668
01:27:00,400 --> 01:27:03,960
Speaker 2: But theoretically need big bodies like who can really run

1669
01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:07,800
Speaker 2: as well and tackles usually linebackers and defenders who can

1670
01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:09,719
Speaker 2: stand in there and take the brunt of a rush

1671
01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:14,200
Speaker 2: if they go safe punt, and then LinkedIn it out

1672
01:27:14,200 --> 01:27:15,960
Speaker 2: and run down and cover the kick fast enough to

1673
01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:18,400
Speaker 2: make a difference. So there is a difference. You're right,

1674
01:27:18,479 --> 01:27:20,880
Speaker 2: it's a subtle difference, and it comes down to there's

1675
01:27:20,880 --> 01:27:23,439
Speaker 2: always a handful of core guys like we've all seen,

1676
01:27:23,800 --> 01:27:28,040
Speaker 2: but those core guys are put out in spots where

1677
01:27:28,080 --> 01:27:31,600
Speaker 2: they can fly to the ball. The interior guys on

1678
01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:34,240
Speaker 2: punt are a little different, and those guys have virtually,

1679
01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:37,400
Speaker 2: in my estimation, have a little bit disappeared on kickoff coverage.

1680
01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:39,840
Speaker 1: Thank you, Professor Tasker. We will take a break here

1681
01:27:40,080 --> 01:27:42,439
Speaker 1: and be back to close things up as it is

1682

01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:00,880
Speaker 1: segment of the day, Steve, and I did want to

1686
01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:04,519

Speaker 1: along with British and Canadian troops as well on the

1689
01:28:16,200 --> 01:28:22,519
Speaker 1: five beaches of Normandy. And you know, ten thousand troops

1690
01:28:22,600 --> 01:28:24,960
Speaker 1: gave up their lives in the first twenty four hours

1691
01:28:25,040 --> 01:28:29,240
Speaker 1: of that major beach assault, but over one hundred and

1692
01:28:29,320 --> 01:28:34,280
Speaker 1: fifty thousand troops landed on the Normandy coast and began

1693
01:28:34,439 --> 01:28:40,960
Speaker 1: the ultimate downfall of the Nazis, primarily because the German

1694
01:28:41,080 --> 01:28:44,040
Speaker 1: army was cut in half because Stalin was working on

1695
01:28:44,080 --> 01:28:47,000
Speaker 1: the Eastern Front, and it forced Hitler to divide his

1696
01:28:47,160 --> 01:28:50,320
Speaker 1: forces and cut in half. There was no way to

1697
01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:52,680
Speaker 1: stand up to the superior numbers and air support on

1698
