1 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields, 2 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 1: kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role 3 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:18,799 Speaker 1: player for you. Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even 4 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:25,439 Speaker 1: in the strated here of normalcy. Let's get it go. A. 5 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: It's Tuesday. Hey, we're back in studio and one Bill's 6 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: drive day off for the players. But we'll be back 7 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: at training camp tomorrow and then Thursday the last practice. 8 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: Steve already at Saint John Fisher University. How you be 9 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: here on a Tuesday, Steve doing good? Really good? Um, 10 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,599 Speaker 1: nice rain shower that moved through last night, although the 11 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: atmosphere seemed almost artificial it was so thick, but nice 12 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: cool off and so day yea training camp on the whole, 13 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:04,559 Speaker 1: though it's it's been different from me. I've seen probably 14 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: more camp practices this year than I ever have, a 15 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: particularly at Fisher, and the ebbs and flows of how 16 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: it went is what struck me. And the fact we 17 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: talked about at length, from top to bottom, how how 18 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: productive the draft class has been. Usually there's a couple 19 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: of draft picks in a draft. Any draft class of 20 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: six or seven, eight or more, there's usually two or 21 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: three that are like, yeah, Wow, they had to pick somebody, 22 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,559 Speaker 1: you know, and they guy. You're thinking, you're just waiting 23 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: for the moment when they release the guy. I don't 24 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: see any of these guys leaving the building this year. 25 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: Maybe practice squad, okay, whatever, whatever, because it's a deep 26 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: and talented roster, but none of them are going anywhere. 27 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: In my mind, that that's weird. Yeah. I was often 28 00:01:54,200 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: told that success in the draft should be what quantified. 29 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: Success in the draft should be compared to a baseball 30 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: player's batting average. If you bat three hundred or a 31 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: little bit better than that, you know, three thirty three, 32 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: basically hit on a third of your picks, you're doing 33 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: very well. If you bat four hundred, you're like Ted Williams, 34 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: who is the only guy to beat four hundred in 35 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: a season. You're in rarefied air, right, because you're talking 36 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: about guys like the three guys you're talking If you 37 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: get seven guys, you're talking about two long terms successful players, right, 38 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: guys who are seventeen draft class guys Tredavious White, Dion Dawkins, 39 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: Matt Milana. Right, that's an example. You know, you hit 40 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 1: on three full time, long term second contract starters, that's big. 41 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: You're doing well, that's big. You could make the argument 42 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: the twenty eighteen draft, the twenty nineteen draft, we'll see 43 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 1: on the twenty twenty and twenty twenty one drafts. We 44 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: don't know yet because it's too soon. You can make 45 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: an argument that the eighteen and nineteen class are even 46 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: better than the seventeen class, right in terms of depth 47 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 1: of talent still on site or even somewhere else killing it. 48 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: Why a teller, So, I mean Brandon being those head 49 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: a draft. I mean, oh stuff, right, They're really doing 50 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff right, That's what struck me about 51 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: this camp though. Um they hit on these draft Now, 52 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: I'm not saying, you know because a guy like like Specter, uh, 53 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: the seventh rounder. One of the reasons, and we say 54 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: it all the time, one of the reasons they drop 55 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: down the draft boards because they're not big enough. They're 56 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: not fast enough, they're not strong enough. There, I'm tall enough. Whatever. 57 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: They're just the stuff you can measure without getting inside 58 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: their their you know, their head and their heart about 59 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: what makes them tick and what's gonna make a guy 60 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: like Sam Mills who is my size into an Hall 61 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: of Fame linebacker you know, you can't aside from that stuff, 62 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: the intangibles, what you measure in these guys is what 63 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: drops them up and raises them up or drops down 64 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: these draft boards. So you could down the seventh round, 65 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: sixth round, you're talking about guys that are a lot 66 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: of guys in the draft can outrun them. They're bigger, 67 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: they're faster, better athletes, they look better, you know what 68 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: I mean. So when you get down the draft board, 69 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: it's hard for those guys without those physical traits to 70 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: walk onto, particularly this roster, in this training camp, with 71 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: these expectations and these guys and splash. Something tells me 72 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: this could be the subject of a future Bills by 73 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: the Numbers podcast because it's noteworthy. It really is really 74 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,679 Speaker 1: everything we don't have. They haven't even played a game yet. Okay, 75 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: so all this could be We could be saying, you know, 76 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: let's just we need to shut our mouths later on. 77 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: You know, we may have this all wrong, but you 78 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: and I, I mean, we're standing out there, we walk. 79 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: I mean, we're watching drills one on ones of all 80 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: of them, the wide receivers, dbs, linebackers, running backs, offensive line, 81 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 1: defensive line. We're watching one on ones all of these guys, 82 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: and both you and I are seeing the same thing. 83 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: It's like, oh damn, Benford just made another play. And 84 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: then it's like, look at Bernard, I mean, look at him, 85 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: you know. And then of course James Cook, I'm I'm 86 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: going on radio around the country. These radio shows called 87 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: because they're looking for Bill's opinions. Though Brownie and I 88 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: are great, great, you know, candidates for other radio stations 89 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: around the country in the NFL seems to call us 90 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: and say, hey, let's talk about the Bills today on 91 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: in Baltimore radio or Miami radio or saying what all 92 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: that all right? So I'm telling everybody I go, James 93 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: Cook is probably gonna He's gonna be on the roster, 94 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: no question. But he's a guy that may start out 95 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: being a third down guy, because you know, Sean McDermott 96 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: makes these guys earn it right. By the end of 97 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: the year, I believe James Cook's gonna be the guy 98 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: all the time. He's gonna finish the year the way 99 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: Devin Singletary finished the year last year, strictly because he's 100 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: just got better physical traits well, and he might fit 101 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: what the plans are for this offense better, right, he's 102 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: got better skill set or more diversified, and he's got bigger, 103 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: he's faster, you know, and he's big big enough. So 104 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: so you go down this draft class at kier Elam. 105 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: I mean I that guy, folks, that guy ain't going anywhere. 106 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: That guy's got second contract written all over him. To me, 107 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 1: he just needs time on the job. He played a 108 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: very singular style of cornerback in the scope of the 109 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: Florida defense. And we can get into this whole discussion 110 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: at another show, because it's my opinion that the vast 111 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 1: majority of major D one college programs do not develop 112 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: a player's entire game. They take what they're good at already, 113 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: plug him in and ask him to do just that. 114 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: They don't diversify the skill sets all that much at receiver, 115 00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: at corner, a bunch of other positions, offensive line, perfect example, 116 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: their hands never on the ground. That's due to the 117 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: style of football that they play. But you should still 118 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: doesn't mean you shouldn't teach it. And that's why. Yeah, 119 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: and they don't waste their time with that stuff. Well, 120 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: they don't have time. Do they get twenty hours a 121 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: week with these guys? Okay, that's a fair argument. And 122 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: I'll say this too though, one that's one of the 123 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: reasons I think Kyer Eliam's gonna blossom or you heard it. 124 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: I mean, he just needs time. That's been hit. That's 125 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: been his modus operandi of the way. He doesn't he wants, 126 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: he wants to playbook. He must know what he's supposed 127 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: to do, how he's supposed to do it. He's got 128 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: a thirst to be better, right, that kind of appetite 129 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: and that kind of work ethic, and of course the 130 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: passion that he's displayed throughout training camp. That's when a 131 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,119 Speaker 1: guy starts to blossom. And you know, is this season 132 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: rolls on. I think the kid's gonna make a lot 133 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: of plays. I think he's gonna make I would agree 134 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: with you. So I'm I'm high on him, so that 135 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: he just needs snaps in practice. So we started this conversation. 136 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: You asked me about what this training camp is. That's it, man, 137 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: It's this draft class. Everybody else we knew about, right, 138 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: I mean, we're so these guys are you know, Josh, 139 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: I think you know, Dave, they're all ingrained. I'm not 140 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: looking to pat us on the back with this, But 141 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: we were talking about this probably shortly after a free agency. 142 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: People are warming up to our thoughts about how good 143 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: this defensive line is going to be, and not because 144 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: of von Miller. Von Miller is certainly a major addition. 145 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: He's going to improve the pass rush to a degree 146 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: that I don't even know if people realize, because he's 147 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: going to make every other pass rusher better just by 148 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: being up there on the field. But more and more 149 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: people that we're talking to are warming up to the 150 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: idea that you're not gonna be able to run on 151 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: this defense. You are not going to be able to 152 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: run the football against this defense this year Indianapolis Jonathan 153 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: Taylor five touchdown games. They ain't happening this year. They 154 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: are a thing of the past. It is not going 155 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: to happen this year against this defensive front. You heard 156 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: it here. They will not give up big rushing days 157 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: like that in twenty twenty two. Right, That's it's gonna 158 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: be different. And I've said this as well, you know, 159 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: come perfectly clean. We've we've been touting this defense as 160 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: the number one defense all offseason, and they were, they 161 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: were ranked at the top. But list you know, you 162 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: go down the list, Um their quarterbacks, the quarterbacks that 163 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: they faced last season. Um, just backups, We're backups. There 164 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: was a ton of backups that they faced. I mean 165 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: you go back. It started with Miami Dolphins Week two. Well, 166 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: first thing, well they did something about that. They're there. 167 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: Tua got hurt on on back to back sacks by 168 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: AJ So they faced Jacobe Brissette. Then they faced uh 169 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: Taylor Heinike against Washington football team because that's the week 170 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick went out. Then they get Davis Mills, and then 171 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: it was um, you know, Mahomes, then Tannehill. Then it 172 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 1: was Tua who they beat. The Jaguars they lost to. 173 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: Then they played Zach Wilson, and then the Colts game 174 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: came along New Orleans Saints. They played Trevor Simeon I 175 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 1: believe yes, third string, third string Trevor Simeon, Patriots, Buccaneers 176 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 1: Patriots and Mac Jones. Then the Buccaneers, who both games 177 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: they lost. Then they played the Carolina Panthers and who 178 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: was it, Well it was not Cam No, it was c. J. 179 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 1: Walker right, the other guy who two guys that may 180 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: not be playing football right now. And then they finished 181 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: up with New England Atlanta. Oh he did play okay, okay, 182 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: and Atlanta, the Patriots Atlanta and then the Jets again. 183 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: I mean they did not play at murderous row of quarterbacks, 184 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,559 Speaker 1: although there were some good ones in there with Mahomes Brady. 185 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: Of course, this year you've got the following right Stafford 186 00:10:54,559 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: provided his elbow works, Ryan Tannehill, Ta Lamar Jackson. We 187 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: think Mitchell Traubisky, Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, Zach Wilson, Cousins, 188 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, maybe Deshaun Watson. Otherwise Jacoby Brissette, Jared Goff, 189 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: mac Jones, Zach Wilson to a Justin Fields, Joe Burrow, 190 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: mac Jones. So front half is pretty demanding, Well, yeah, 191 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: you go back half is not? Yeah, you go down 192 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: that front half you got yeah math Yeah. Yeah. It's 193 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: rough the first seven, first eight weeks of the season 194 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: with a bye week included in there. It's a bear 195 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: in games. It's a bear. It's a it's it's a 196 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: it's a tough schedule. But that's uh. But so this defense, 197 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: and the reason we started talking about this was the 198 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: quarterbacks they faced last year and pile up a number 199 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: one ranking, which is where you want to be. I mean, 200 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: if you're gonna play those quarterbacks, you need to lump 201 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: them up. The Bills did. The Bills lumped him up big, 202 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: lumped those teams up big time last year. But this year, 203 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: man oh man, that they're better. They're going to be 204 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: better defensively. And I think, and I've said, I keep 205 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: saying it, saxon turnovers defensively, playmaker, you know, making plays, 206 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: splash plays, big turnaround plays, getting the ball back. I 207 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: think it's going to be more prevalent this year. And 208 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: if that's happens, and you start handing the football back 209 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: to Ken Dorsey and Josh Allen and Crewe, it's gonna 210 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: be a lot of fun to watch. A lot happening 211 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 1: around the league. Steve, So, let's get to NFL news 212 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: and notes, and the news is not good for Jets 213 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: offensive tackle McKay Beckton. We mentioned yesterday that he left 214 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,559 Speaker 1: the field limping badly with what appeared to be a 215 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: knee injury, the same knee that cost him all of 216 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: the last season. NFL networks Ian rapp Report and Mike 217 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: Arrafolo both reporting that Beckton has suffered an evulsion fracture 218 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: of the right kneecap. He's seeing a surgeon tomorrow, but 219 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: the general belief, and this includes Robert Salah's comments after 220 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: practice today, is that he is likely out for a 221 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: second straight season. Now, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler is reporting that 222 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: the Jets and veteran offensive tackle Dwayne Brown have mutual 223 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: interest in a potential pairing. Brown visited the team over 224 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: the weekend. He has had other teams interested throughout the 225 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: free agency progress process, but he is thirty six years old, 226 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: which is why some people probably had pause. But now 227 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: you know why the Jets are interested, and if they're wise, 228 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 1: they would sign him right now, because, according to Jets 229 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: reporter Rich Semini for ESPN, the Jets offensive line was 230 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: a mess in practice today. Zach Wilson, you're ready for this. 231 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: According to Rich Semini, sacked four times on his first 232 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: five dropbacks in team practice today. Some Jets reporters said 233 00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: it was such a jailbreak they were unsure, which which 234 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 1: Jets defensive lineman to credit the sack too, because they 235 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: were all there. So the Jets defensive line is either 236 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: the best, the second coming of the forty six defensive 237 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,199 Speaker 1: Chicago in nineteen eighty five, or the Jets offensive line 238 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: is completely lost. Yeah, I would you know, I'm not 239 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: gonna say that I even have any idea of which 240 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: it is. It's somewhere in there. It's somewhere in there, 241 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: somewhere in between. It is somewhere in there. And and 242 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm not losing any sleep over the 243 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: Jets um struggling. They might be shuffling things around up 244 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: front and with the Jets. Now the Beckton's out, so 245 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: they got all right, now, now what are we gonna do? 246 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: So now they start putting guys in, plugging in, trying 247 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: to trying to cover for a gigantic loss guy. But 248 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: it is one guy, but some you know how it is. 249 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: Sometimes all right, the next guy out is going to 250 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: be one of the guards that moves out to that 251 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: tackle spot. Now you got him play a new spot. 252 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: And then a guard new guard that's playing a new spot, 253 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you're you're looking like they did. 254 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: So we'll see. We'll get an update from Jets analyst 255 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: Lee Jay Doozable, who will be joining us on the 256 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: show in the second hour, so we'll get the four 257 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: to one one from him on just how bad it 258 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: looks at Jets camp for that offensive line and whether 259 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: Dwayne Brown will in fact be in the cards for 260 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: them now that they've apparently lost Mackay Beckton for a 261 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: second consecutive season sixth pick in the draft, that is 262 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: tough good news for the Saints. According to Saints reporter 263 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: Mike Triplett, Saints coach Dennis Allen said Jameis Winston sprained 264 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: right foot that he suffered in practice yesterday is only 265 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: a day to day injury. They don't believe it's anything significant. However, 266 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: there are no plans to play him in their team's 267 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: preseason opener this weekend, which makes sense. The Commanders more 268 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: turmoil there. Steve have fired defensive line coach Sam Mills. 269 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: Ron City believe Ron Rivera City believed the defensive line 270 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: room needed a change. Jeff Skinnina, a long time defensive 271 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: tackle in the league played with the Rams for a 272 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: long time, is taking over that According to NFL Networks 273 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: Mike Carafolo and Steve, this is not the first time 274 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: we have seen a coach replaced in the preseason. Heck, 275 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: when Dick Geron was head coach, he fired Dirk Schooner 276 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: a week before the opener and promoted Alex Van Pelt, 277 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: who had never called plays in the league before, and 278 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: they almost won the game season opener Monday night against 279 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: the Patriots, were not for Aleotis McKelvin fumble on a 280 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: kick return. Um. So it's happened before. But this does 281 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: not speak to continuity and all systems go for the 282 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: regular season. This is not a change that any head 283 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: coach wants to make at this juncture in the off season. 284 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: Oh no. And I would wonder if things were going south, 285 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: and I would say, without knowing anything about it, it 286 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 1: would a guy like Ron Revere, who he's got a 287 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: lot of Integrity's known as being a stand up guy 288 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: and and loyal. Uh Sam Mills and his father worked 289 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: for Revere in Carolina, so I've got a history. And 290 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: also his dad was just went in the Hall of 291 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 1: Fame this last weekend. So I think this would probably 292 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: come from one of two places, maybe one of three, 293 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: a mixture of either. You know, the defensive line is 294 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: stinking it up, They're not doing it, so they got 295 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 1: they got problems or whatever, which They've got a lot 296 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: of talent upfront, don't forget. The commanders have got some guys. Two. 297 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 1: They're probably he's probably getting some feedback as a head 298 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: coach from some of those guy, those great players saying, hey, 299 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,400 Speaker 1: this guy's not the guy his is not the guy 300 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: helping us, right, or two ownerships stepped in said something 301 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: happened or whatever like that. I doubt the ownership thing 302 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 1: given the term will they got bigger fish to fry. 303 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: So I think it's probably coming from the players saying, listen, 304 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: we need a little bit more from our coach down here. Well, 305 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 1: we can say this having seen that defensive line last year, 306 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: because that was the extra NFC opponent game Bill achieved. 307 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,479 Speaker 1: They underachieved the entire season time, not just against the Bills, 308 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: the entire season. The general consensus from people we know 309 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: that cover the Washington Commanders down there was that that 310 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: defensive line, which is made up of all first round 311 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: draft choices, terribly underachieved. And now we are going into 312 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 1: another season. Perhaps coach Rivera saw similar results to what 313 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 1: he saw last year at this time and said, I 314 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: gotta fix this. Yeah, because we're paying these guys way 315 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 1: too much money. There's way too much talent there. We 316 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: should be getting so much more out of them, and 317 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: we are not time to make a change. Yeah, we're 318 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: not waiting another year. So yeah, I think that's probably 319 00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 1: the most likely scenario. You know, it's one of those 320 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: things where you know, insanity is doing the same thing 321 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 1: over and over expecting different results, and they didn't want 322 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: to do that. I mean, that wasn't even a game 323 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,199 Speaker 1: last year. Forty three. Twenty one I think was the 324 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: finale close for a second. The reason it was twenty 325 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: one is because the Bills turned it over twice down 326 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: in their end and they got it back or maybe 327 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: in the red zone. I'm not sure, but the Bills, 328 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, there was two turnovers in the first 329 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: half that kept suddenly it was a one score game 330 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: right early, and then the Bills ran off with it 331 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: in the second half. But that that was the only 332 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: way that the Commanders were actually even standing close to 333 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: the Bills in that game. Steve, one of your favorite organizations, 334 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears have some troubles. Roquan Smith, their star 335 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: linebacker who has earned second team All Pro honors each 336 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,360 Speaker 1: of the last two seasons, said in a statement that 337 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: he is requesting a trade from the Chicago Bears after 338 00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: the front office refused to negotiate in good faith and 339 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: doesn't value him as a twenty five year old linebacker. 340 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 1: He said he's been trying to get an extension done 341 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: since April. Now they have a new front office. Ryan 342 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: Poles is the new GM, and I read the whole 343 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: thing in terms of, you know what Roquan Smith's issues are. 344 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: He has yet to engage or speak to the McCaskey 345 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: family in any capacity despite trying to negotiate with the 346 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 1: team since April. Is that fascinating to you? If you're 347 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: if you're disgruntled, don't you demand to talk to ownership 348 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 1: in some way, shape or form, or at least kind 349 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: of work your agent through those channels to try to 350 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: get some kind of dialogue that maybe goes over the 351 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: GM's head. Because you're hitting your head against a brick 352 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: wall with the GM, you want to stay there. He said. 353 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 1: He wanted to be a bear for life, get the 354 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: owner's ear and see if you can change the conversation. 355 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 1: To me, this is the ownership saying they want no 356 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: part of it. This is it's Missus McCaskey, who's one 357 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: of the matriarchs of the NFL. She's the daughter of 358 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: George hallis I would say the gm iss running in 359 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: from yes on, marching orders not to let, not to 360 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: let the Yeah, they're not going to skip that step. 361 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: You're not going to go past the gm and the 362 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: ownership's probably sitting there going on, no, you handle it. 363 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: He is. He is in the same boat as Bills 364 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: linebacker Tremaine Edmonds, playing on a fifth year option. They 365 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: are part of the same draft class, so they will 366 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: both be free agents unless they sign extensions with their 367 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: current clubs, and that remains up in the air. But again, 368 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: this speaks to relationships between players and organizations, does it not. Yes, 369 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,400 Speaker 1: I mean you don't see anything like this coming from 370 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds and the Bills organization and the relationship that 371 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: they have. Things operate a little bit differently with the Bears, 372 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: and they have for years, unfortunately been a wayward franchise. Yeah, 373 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: um they Yeah, they've been notoriously also rans for decades. 374 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: They caught lightning in a bottle what five years ago? 375 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: Six years ago? Yeah? The double Yeah, the double playoff 376 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: year where they won twelve games, twelve and four under 377 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: Adam Gase. I think not Adam Gase. Um. I can't 378 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: remember the Kansas City coordinator. Um, look at us, Yeah, 379 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: Matt Matt nagee. So Matt nage gets lightning in a bottle. 380 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: Then he's out. Um after the one season then of course, 381 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: then the other one is thirty five or forty years ago. 382 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 1: Thirty five years ago in at nineteen eighty five, when 383 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: with that roster full of Hall of famers, hall of 384 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: fame head coach, as a Hall of Fame coach, hall 385 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,439 Speaker 1: of Fame player, a bunch of Hall of Fame players 386 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: on the roster. Defensively, of course, they get to one 387 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 1: super Bowl. That's it for them. That's the level of 388 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: their success, aside from their success in the sixties, in 389 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: the old NFL days Underhalmis, the twenties, the nineteen twenties. 390 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 1: So yeah, that's it's a it's a tough franchise to crack. 391 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: And so I you know, Roquan Smith, while he loves 392 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: being in Chicago and is trying to do the right thing, 393 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting to see what the compensation is 394 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 1: because whatever team may be excited to add him to 395 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: their defense, there is still a contract or going to 396 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 1: have to address. I mean, this guy is looking for 397 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 1: giant second contract money, like Darius Leonard in Indianapolis and 398 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 1: some of the other guys who have recently signed at 399 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 1: the position. He is looking for top of the market money, 400 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: which is upwards of sixteen seventeen million dollars. And there 401 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: are some franchises in this league that do not value 402 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 1: the middle linebacker position at that level. They just simply 403 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 1: do the bear with two or three with three Hall 404 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: of Fame middle linebackers to their credit in Dick Butkus, 405 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: Mike Singletary, and Brian her Lacker. Do they strike you 406 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 1: as the kind of franchise that would not value the 407 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: middle lineman. Well, it appears no. And I'll say this right, 408 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: It could be. It could be the GM telling the 409 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 1: ownership say, listen, the guy's great, we love him, he's 410 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 1: a great player. Step but this position isn't worth fifteen 411 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: million bucks a year. Left tackle, warner back, quarterback, right 412 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: wide receiver. Yeah, that's what we've had. We need an 413 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: offensive line before. We need middle linebackers. We need offensive linemen. 414 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 1: We need skilled players and to protect this young quarterback 415 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: we've got, that's where we're gonna start. We're not gonna 416 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 1: waste when we're not gonna spend money on that guy 417 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,880 Speaker 1: for that and that I could get behind Roquans missed 418 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: a great player, no question about it, but he's playing 419 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 1: middle linebacker in the league that don't run the football, 420 00:24:53,520 --> 00:25:00,120 Speaker 1: so in a division with Aaron Rodgers and Kirk Cousins 421 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 1: who throw it a lot. Yeah, And those aren't the 422 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 1: only problems for the Bears. They have more injury problems 423 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,919 Speaker 1: at wide receiver already without nikkil Harry and Byron Pringle, 424 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: who are sidelined with injuries at training camp. The Bears 425 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: have now also lost receiver David Moore with what is 426 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: being reported as a potentially serious injury. No details yet, 427 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: but we'll have to see what comes of it. But 428 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: those are three of their top five receivers that are 429 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 1: now shelved. So not going good in Chicago. And then 430 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: Steve from the files of more of that, please we 431 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: bring you reports from New England Patriots camp, where it 432 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: has been reported can you see the smile on my face? 433 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 1: If you can't see it through the radio, it's ear 434 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,919 Speaker 1: to ear. It has been reported by a handful of 435 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: Patriots beat reporters that the offense is a veritable disaster. 436 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 1: I will proceed to read some descriptions of yesterday's team 437 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,479 Speaker 1: periods of practice from Mac Jones and the Patriots offense. 438 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 1: So Steve, sit back and enjoy all right from our 439 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,679 Speaker 1: good friend Mike Giardi, who we just had on the 440 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: show last week from NFL Network. I quote, Mac Jones 441 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 1: had some moments of uncertainty a year ago in training camp, 442 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 1: but not nearly as many as you would expect for 443 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: a rookie this summer, there are far more. Yes, it 444 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: is early August, there's time. However, the install started back 445 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: in the spring, and you'd like to see more comfort 446 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: and success. To clarify, this isn't all on Mac. Blocking 447 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: has been poor. They haven't been able to run the 448 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: ball a lick in camp, and last night there were 449 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: a number of times Mac had to hold the ball 450 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:49,120 Speaker 1: because receivers were not open. Not a wonderful combination the Patriots. 451 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: As Warren Sharp points out, he's that analytics guru has 452 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: the fifth most expensive receiving corps in the league. DeVante 453 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: Parker was the big ad this offseason. He's supposed to 454 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 1: be their true number one wide out. Warren Sharpe, who 455 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 1: was an advanced metric Sky, pointed out the report by 456 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: Patriots reporter Andrew Callahan, who reported the following DeVante Parker 457 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 1: has made three receptions over five practices with six total targets. 458 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: That's pathetic. This is your number one wide out, Steve. 459 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: At the return of the Blue and Red practice alone, 460 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: Steve gave Davids had five catches, three for touchdowns. DeVante 461 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: Parkers got three catches for all of camp. Well and 462 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,719 Speaker 1: I noticed this too. We had thought that the personnel 463 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 1: moves that the New England Patriots made in the off season, 464 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 1: particularly regarding their defense, would have weakened their defense. So 465 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 1: not only is their offense looking putrid, is looking putrid 466 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,959 Speaker 1: against the same defense that the Bills didn't even have 467 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,439 Speaker 1: to punt on for the last two games of last season. 468 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 1: On a game in New England, at a game here 469 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, the Bills didn't punt twice in two games, 470 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: didn't punt at all in two games, and they score 471 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 1: and they scored a touchdown every time they got the ball. 472 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 1: The last time they played, they didn't turn it over 473 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: and never took a negative play, and they got every 474 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 1: possible yard they could get offensively because they scored a 475 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 1: touchdown every time they got the ball. So and that 476 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: defense that the Bills lit up. I mean absolutely lit 477 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: on fire and stomped the ashes into the ground. Is 478 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 1: now crushing with worst personnel the New England offense. Yes, now, 479 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: this is why I love Warren Sharpe because he just 480 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:35,159 Speaker 1: pulls out hard and fast numbers. Okay, He listed DeVante 481 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: Parker's ranking on the list of the league's wide receivers 482 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: who most consistently gain separation. This is a wide receiver 483 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: they traded for. Steve Parker's rankings over the last three 484 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: seasons among the league's wide receivers who most consistently get 485 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: separation twenty nineteen, one twenty three out of one, twenty five, 486 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, thirty two out of one, thirty two, 487 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, one twenty seven out of one, twenty 488 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: seven dead last each of the last two years. But 489 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: this guy is gonna be their number one wide out. 490 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: But I can't ticket. It's too much. My sides are hurting. 491 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: Oh my god, Devte Parker is your ticket to success. 492 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: Here's here's the thing. I don't Oh my god, I 493 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: don't know. God, it's so good. I honestly, in my heart, 494 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: I don't believe it's gonna be that bad. Looks right, now. 495 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: But man, old man, it looks really really bad at 496 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: this point. Now, they haven't played a preseason game. We 497 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: haven't seen him. They got no offensive coordinator. Who's calling 498 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: the plays, Joe Judge, it looks like it's Matt Patricia. Okay, 499 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: all that stuff's going on, and you know, Matt can't 500 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: even get a throw off. There's just they're getting stuffed 501 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage. Their offensive line is an 502 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: absolute train wreck. It's an offensive was supposed to run 503 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: the ball. They can't run the ball well. Their offensive line, um, yeah, 504 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: they Yeah. Dante Scarnekia, their long time offensive line coach, retired, right, 505 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: I would imagine he's gonna come back unless he's just 506 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: too gone, too far gone to guy he's almost eighties. Yes, 507 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: he's very old. He's he was. Yeah, he was coaching 508 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 1: specialty when I was playing. He was a special teams 509 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: coach for the Patriots under all those guys had I 510 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: got a lot of and even the Patriots and people 511 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 1: around the league, he's got a lot of respect. But 512 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 1: he retired and he's been their offensive line guy that 513 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: keeps that group and gets him overachieving. Actually he's a 514 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: great coach, but he's he's done. That's killing him right now. 515 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: That is killing him right now. All right, hold on, 516 00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: I've got some more. ESPN Patriots reporter Zach mac Jones 517 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: took the first twenty reps and eleven on eleven drills, which, 518 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: first of all, Steve is unheard of. They usually rotate 519 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: quarterbacks every six reps at most. Anyway, Zach Cox says, 520 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: they left mac Jones in even after the Patriots rotated 521 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: out the starting offensive line. Zach Cox's words, it's been ugly. 522 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: A quarter of mac jones reps resulted in a sack 523 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 1: four or a scramble one, and all six completions were 524 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: within a few yards of the line of scrimmage. Our 525 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: good friend Mike Reis from ESPN has covered the Patriots 526 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: for over twenty years, tweeted this thought after watching the 527 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: Patriots offense. After watching the offense look efficient in seven 528 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: on seven but struggle notably in multiple eleven on eleven drills, 529 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: it might be time to give Dante Scarneckia a call 530 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: for an independent evaluation. And then there's this from NBC's 531 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: Tom Curran, who has covered the Patriots for thirty years. 532 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: The Patriots number one offense today has been distressingly bad. 533 00:31:55,240 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 1: Run stuffs, aboarded plays would be sacks, distresss into traffic 534 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: just to get the ball out. Beginning to feel it's 535 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: less the new offense and more the post Scarneckia cycle 536 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: of old line coaches. They are perpetually overwhelmed. I'm telling you, 537 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: I I love it. I can't get enough of it. 538 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 1: It's like a drug. Keep injecting it into my veins. 539 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: Tweet away, Patriots beat reporters petways are dispensing laughing gas. 540 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's for the soul. Unbelievable because it 541 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 1: just keeps piling out of there. I I sat at 542 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: my desk this morning and watching unanimous. I watched Bill 543 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 1: Belichick's live post practice press conference, or maybe his pre practice. 544 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I might have been pre practice, but 545 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 1: I watched his press conference live this morning, and the 546 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 1: you know, the reporters are even now, are incredibly deferential 547 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 1: to him. You know, they don't they do not. This 548 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: is not New York where they go, you know, house coming, 549 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: your team sucks under your leadership kind of thing. That's 550 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: not what they do. They're like, hey, Bill, you know 551 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: is mac. They ask it in a diplomatic way is 552 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 1: mac not seeing it? Is he making tough? You know, 553 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: what's the deal? And they're asking him basically, why do 554 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: they what what's up? Why does it look so horrific? 555 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 1: The offense looks horrible and Bella's just gonna listen. It's 556 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: it's you know, and he's just it could be this, 557 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: could be this. Sometimes it's this. Sometimes that he just 558 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,479 Speaker 1: names off like twenty things that are going wrong, and 559 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: sometimes that all this goes right and this other thing 560 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: goes wrong. But the gist of it is something that 561 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 1: from the smallest thing to the most basic thing, the 562 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: biggest thing is going wrong all the time. None of 563 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 1: it looks good all the time, but it tastes is 564 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 1: oh my gosh. So they are they are in New England. 565 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: They're looking and and it's still even now because Bill 566 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 1: is the coach. Even now, they're going to listen. It's 567 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: he's not going to let them look that bad. It's 568 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: not going to be that bad a result. Even if 569 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,240 Speaker 1: their offense stinks, they're gonna win games. That kind of atmosphere, 570 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: you know, it's still got that right. I'm not convinced 571 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,479 Speaker 1: it's still that aura around that program. And maybe they're 572 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 1: right that was a playoff team last year with a 573 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback who couldn't throw right. So there's a lot 574 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: in there and nobody's willing to I'm not throwing dirt 575 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: on the Patriots, but man, oh man, you're I'm with you. 576 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,879 Speaker 1: I'm with you. The bloom is off the road, very 577 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 1: very battle the Jets for last place in the division 578 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: have fun with that. It's very satisfying. Decipher and hear 579 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: that that rhetoric coming out of New eng might be 580 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: a more entertaining race than the one for first place. 581 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 1: We take a break here. Plenty more to get to, 582 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,800 Speaker 1: including our Twitter topic today, which Bill's player will benefit 583 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: the most from their surrounding cast.

Oh, 600 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 1: but it'll be so delicious if they do. Yeah, it 601 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,879 Speaker 1: would be wouldn't that be fun? Like this is here, 602 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:05,320 Speaker 1: here's the ideal here's the ideal season for the Bills 603 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:09,800 Speaker 1: for me. Okay, at least regular season Bills are in 604 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 1: the driver's seat, you know, coming down the stretch in 605 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 1: December to win the division. You know, they're free and 606 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,399 Speaker 1: clear of the Dolphins. They don't really have to worry 607 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: about them, right, But there is a tight neck and 608 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 1: neck race for the basement of the AFC East between 609 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 1: the Jets and the Patriots. As we know, those two 610 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:34,879 Speaker 1: franchise abhore each other, and Patriots taste to the basement. Yeah, 611 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 1: oh my god, new Engham Patriots in Buffalo four And 612 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,280 Speaker 1: it's interesting too. Because I said this before. The NFL 613 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 1: schedule on their NFL Statistics page, the NFL GESUS has 614 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots at the Buffalo Bills, and it 615 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,240 Speaker 1: says it's at four a m. Eastern times. It's four pm, 616 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 1: but it says four a week eighteen. So that's what 617 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,799 Speaker 1: you're saying, right, Week eighteen, Patriots at Buffalo and Case 618 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:11,359 Speaker 1: Keenum and company. Because Josh is sitting down, ye, Case 619 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 1: Keenum and company. Who the Jets are playing week eighteen? 620 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 1: You can you pull that up for me? Yes, I 621 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 1: need to know. I've got it right here. I've got 622 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:24,280 Speaker 1: it right here. It is. So Bills host the Patriots 623 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: Week eighteen, and the Jets play. The Jets play Miami 624 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 1: Week eighteen, Miami, the Jets play Miami. Jets come into 625 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 1: this game five and eleven, looking to stay out of 626 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:46,440 Speaker 1: the basement of the AFC East for a third consecutive season. Meanwhile, 627 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:51,839 Speaker 1: they're hated Patriots face the Bills and Buffalo also five 628 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:55,800 Speaker 1: and eleven. Who will take the title of the bottom 629 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,400 Speaker 1: feeder of the AFC East. Oh, I mean that's a 630 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 1: week eighteen to remember. I can see it now. I'm 631 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 1: going to speak it into existence. Make it happen. In 632 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,759 Speaker 1: the meantime, we go to the tweet sheet, which is 633 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 1: a little bit more Bills related. Which Bills player will 634 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:15,840 Speaker 1: benefit the most from their surrounding cast this season. Alan 635 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,880 Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet, which is brought to you incidentally 636 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 1: by Corregan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company and 637 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:25,319 Speaker 1: the both of the Bills. Alan says, any running back 638 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 1: with the passing talent and Alan's scrambling ability, the opposing 639 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:34,399 Speaker 1: defenses won't be able to stack the box for running plays. Now, 640 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 1: I think that's true to a certain degree. You know, 641 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,919 Speaker 1: lighter boxes makes sense. You've got to make them pay 642 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 1: to pull that safety out of the box. First. The 643 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 1: key is going to be how few people in addition 644 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 1: to the five offensive linemen is it gonna take to 645 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,359 Speaker 1: run the ball effectively? If you're the Bill's offense. One 646 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,799 Speaker 1: of the things and I hit. Even to this day, 647 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 1: I get a lot of love the fans because we 648 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 1: and they go, I hope, do you mind I'm asking 649 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 1: you a questions about it? I go, it's my favorite thing, right, 650 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 1: I sit here with you every I'd love to do it. 651 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,880 Speaker 1: That's why I'm doing this job. So you know, so 652 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 1: one of the I get asked about the k gun 653 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 1: back in Jim Kelly. One of the reasons, one of 654 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,880 Speaker 1: the main reasons in fact, that that offense was so 655 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 1: successful because they could run with three wides on the 656 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,439 Speaker 1: field and a tight end and one back. They could 657 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 1: run out of that and run successfully. Thurman Thomas led 658 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,799 Speaker 1: the league in yards from scrimmage four straight years. He's 659 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,400 Speaker 1: the only player that's ever done it. He was a 660 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 1: monster behind that offensive line. That's key for this team, 661 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: and it becomes the exact same thing we talk about defenses. 662 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,480 Speaker 1: If you can get pressure with just four guys and 663 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,279 Speaker 1: get it quick, you're gonna win games because it's hard 664 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 1: to throw into seven guys dropping into coverage. Same thing 665 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,879 Speaker 1: on offense. If you can run it behind just five 666 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,319 Speaker 1: offensive lineman with a tight end maybe and then one 667 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 1: back he got three wides out. If you can run 668 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 1: it effectively in that group, they got problems. They've got 669 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 1: real problems. So that's what it's gonna come down to. 670 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 1: And he's he's right with Saffled in there, with a 671 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 1: healthy Spencer Brown, more that the five offensive lineman they 672 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 1: got up there, whether it's Bates into whoever, Saffled and 673 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 1: then Kessonbury is too as well with a backup. As 674 00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,799 Speaker 1: a backup, they got some bigger dudes down in there. 675 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,759 Speaker 1: I think if Chromer can get those guys a hat 676 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,640 Speaker 1: on a hat and get them pushing, and they can 677 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 1: run the ball when they want to run the ball, 678 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 1: and teams are forced to throw an extra guy in 679 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,399 Speaker 1: the box just to make sure the Bills don't throw 680 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:49,319 Speaker 1: it every down. Safety rights, you can't play single high 681 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 1: safety against these guys. You can't play single and that's 682 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,319 Speaker 1: the problem. Last year, the Bills couldn't run against two 683 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 1: high safeties, let alone single high safety. They couldn't run 684 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,320 Speaker 1: against two high safeties where there was six guys in 685 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: the box. They couldn't run against that last year. And 686 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:07,839 Speaker 1: finally at the end of the year, you know, Devin 687 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:09,840 Speaker 1: Singletary started making some hay there and then all of 688 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 1: a sudden, and you saw what happened when they're off. 689 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,120 Speaker 1: When Singletary started running with against a two high safety, 690 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 1: Gabe Davis catches four touchdowns in a in a playoff game. 691 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,880 Speaker 1: The Bills play put together a perfect offensive game. I mean, 692 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:30,359 Speaker 1: they were they were unstoppable. When they started running late 693 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,480 Speaker 1: in the year against a six man box and doing 694 00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:37,799 Speaker 1: it successfully. They became the team that we all thought, 695 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:39,839 Speaker 1: you know, was going to and could win the Super Bowl. 696 00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 1: So we'll see. But that's a that's a good tweet 697 00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,400 Speaker 1: from Otley. He's right, yeah, he's right. Break time for 698 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,280 Speaker 1: us here when you come back. More of your comments 699 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:51,279 Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet. And is DeShawn Watson playing in 700 00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 1: the Browns preseason opener or not? Even the Browns are insane? 701 00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:00,360 Speaker 1: Why is that? We'll try to investigate next tier. On 702 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,360 Speaker 1: one Bill's Live presented by Klota Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. 703 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,479 Speaker 1: Tid's Day returns to him Mark Stadium as the Bills 704 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 1: host the Broncos for their preseason matchup on August twentieth. 705 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,879 Speaker 1: Presented by Fisher Price, The Fisher Price Junior Tailgate kicks 706 00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,799 Speaker 1: off at nine AM and Lot six bigger than ever, 707 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:34,120 Speaker 1: featuring a power wheels track, giant inflatables, a rail, fire truck, games, 708 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 1: and more.

We 714 00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,960 Speaker 1: told you before the break that Kevin Stefanski, Brown's head coach, 715 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,960 Speaker 1: which is not revealing if Deshaun Watson will play against 716 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:07,480 Speaker 1: the Jaguars in the Browns preseason opener. The Browns apparently 717 00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 1: have a plan for their quarterbacks, but there's a lot 718 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:14,239 Speaker 1: of speculation out there the impending suspension, which is going 719 00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 1: to be at least six games unless the league's appointed, 720 00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:22,399 Speaker 1: you know, appeals officer rules otherwise, So they're saying, wow, 721 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:26,200 Speaker 1: you better get Jakobe Brsett ready either way, because Watson 722 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:31,000 Speaker 1: isn't playing the first six weeks. So Stefanski is holding 723 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 1: all his cards close to the vest, and people are like, 724 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:34,520 Speaker 1: why are't you doing that? We want to know what 725 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,960 Speaker 1: you're doing. What's going on? Do you know something else 726 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,359 Speaker 1: about Watson that we don't know what's going on? Yeah, 727 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,360 Speaker 1: So it's led to a whole bunch of consternation about 728 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,440 Speaker 1: who's playing quarterback and for how long in the Browns 729 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:51,040 Speaker 1: preseason opener. Steve, then there's this we are all awaiting 730 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:56,400 Speaker 1: the premier of Hard Knocks which apparently has already been 731 00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:01,799 Speaker 1: released by HBO. I I do not have that as 732 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 1: part of my package of TV offering, so I usually 733 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:11,440 Speaker 1: don't HBO Sports or whatever. Hbox Anyway, Aidan Hutchinson, their 734 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:15,640 Speaker 1: second pick in the draft this year, turns twenty two today, 735 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:21,120 Speaker 1: and had to sing Michael Jackson's Billy Jean during a 736 00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 1: team meeting. Producers of the Hard Knocks program are claiming 737 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:33,320 Speaker 1: it may be the most entertaining rookie singing moment in 738 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:37,600 Speaker 1: show history. Now. I don't know if that's because it's 739 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:42,560 Speaker 1: incredibly good or horrifically bad, but it could very easily 740 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,719 Speaker 1: be either one of those two. Correct, Absolutely, they didn't. 741 00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:50,040 Speaker 1: They left that open for interpretation. That's because that what 742 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:54,480 Speaker 1: makes them memorable is how horrific they are usually right, 743 00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:56,640 Speaker 1: usually well, even if the guy nails it, it's like 744 00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,920 Speaker 1: he's that's that's his karaoke song. Okay, he supposed to nail, 745 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,919 Speaker 1: but you know what I mean. So what really makes 746 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:08,239 Speaker 1: it memorable is when the guy is shockingly good. Shocking no, 747 00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:12,800 Speaker 1: not shockingly good, but like, embrace it, go for it. Horrific. 748 00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,440 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, like the worst thing you've ever seen is 749 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,279 Speaker 1: in fact, it's like I'm leaving. It's like a ride 750 00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,160 Speaker 1: or die moment. It's like I got a guy, but 751 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,239 Speaker 1: like the guys are like leaving. Din'tone want to watch 752 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,160 Speaker 1: him finish it? That's when you like hit. That's the 753 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,560 Speaker 1: home run, not the other. Okay, nailing it is good, 754 00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,480 Speaker 1: that's kind of cool. Everything it's almost equally impressive, right, 755 00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,239 Speaker 1: you think ex until you get to know that you 756 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,239 Speaker 1: know the guy sang in college or whatever. Well, that's 757 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,200 Speaker 1: what we saw. It was a viral video yesterday where 758 00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:43,680 Speaker 1: a Duke Offensive Lineman he was asked to sing. He's 759 00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:47,279 Speaker 1: a trained opera singer, and he blew his teammates away. 760 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:51,160 Speaker 1: That mauls. They're hanging agape as they're filming him singing 761 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:54,200 Speaker 1: this phone. He's crushing it, right, But the key the 762 00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:58,839 Speaker 1: home run is doing it so bad you drive people 763 00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:04,560 Speaker 1: from the room. You never get asked again. That's their plan, right, 764 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:07,040 Speaker 1: So you think that got that Duke offensive Lineman. Think 765 00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:08,560 Speaker 1: that's the last time they're gonna ask him to saying 766 00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:10,680 Speaker 1: he's gonna have no to Hey, hey, let's hear it again. 767 00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:14,200 Speaker 1: Do another one? Warm up the pipes, right, who needs it? 768 00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 1: The home run is the being so horrific at it 769 00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:21,719 Speaker 1: that you never get asked again. That's that's the key. 770 00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:25,440 Speaker 1: That's good, that's careful planning. Well yeah, yeah, it's not 771 00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,759 Speaker 1: my first rodeo. By the way, and by the way, 772 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,960 Speaker 1: before we go to break here, did you hear the 773 00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:34,960 Speaker 1: thing at the official owner's meetings? Yes, it is official. 774 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,880 Speaker 1: Now it is official. The Denver Broncos are now owned 775 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:41,800 Speaker 1: by the Walton Penner Group, chiefly the heir to the 776 00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,480 Speaker 1: Walmart fortune. So I was joking with our guys in 777 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,000 Speaker 1: the control room, this is the first time that we 778 00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:52,000 Speaker 1: do not have falling prices at Walmart. As as the 779 00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:56,560 Speaker 1: Walton Penner Group purchased the Denver Broncos for what was 780 00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,759 Speaker 1: it four point six five billion UM. It is the 781 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,080 Speaker 1: highest price ever purchased for a sports team in North 782 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:07,319 Speaker 1: American sports history. But it is a done deal. Four 783 00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,239 Speaker 1: point something billion. It's four point six five billion is 784 00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,759 Speaker 1: the number I believe I saw. And uh, but they 785 00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,440 Speaker 1: just announced it is official. It was interesting too, you 786 00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,480 Speaker 1: think about this. So you go in there as the 787 00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,960 Speaker 1: Walton Group they present, they go in, they spend this. 788 00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:23,719 Speaker 1: This guy, this Walton, I'm gonna can't remember his first name. 789 00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:26,480 Speaker 1: He goes in, he's got a stand in front of 790 00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,879 Speaker 1: the owners of the National Football League for the first 791 00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,680 Speaker 1: time in his life, probably in a room full of 792 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,920 Speaker 1: guys that I've got money, like he's got money. Now 793 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,200 Speaker 1: he may be richer or whatever. You know that, but 794 00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:42,640 Speaker 1: that that's quite a room to command, to go in 795 00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,359 Speaker 1: there and say, hit, listen, here's how we're gonna run 796 00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,120 Speaker 1: this thing. Here's what we're gonna do. I'm gonna be 797 00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,799 Speaker 1: the guy. My partners are here, they're in there along 798 00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,160 Speaker 1: for the ride. Whatever. I'm the voice of the franchise, 799 00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,279 Speaker 1: and we're gonna do it. I'm just I'm basically gonna 800 00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,200 Speaker 1: write the check and I'm gonna build a new stadium 801 00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:03,399 Speaker 1: in Denver. Thanks for listening. Then they escort them out. 802 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,960 Speaker 1: They take them out, and I don't know whether they're 803 00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,880 Speaker 1: it's unclear that whether there's a discussion or whether they 804 00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:12,439 Speaker 1: just say, Okay, what do you think here's a vote, 805 00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 1: hands up if he takes it, or do we vote 806 00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,040 Speaker 1: him no? Do we say no? And the and the 807 00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:22,920 Speaker 1: thing goes back up for sale. But obviously after the 808 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:27,080 Speaker 1: guy presents the going he's okay with me.

He was kind of a dual role 850 00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:58,480 Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even 851 00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:05,960 Speaker 1: in the stratosphere of normalcy. Here our number two ready 852 00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,919 Speaker 1: for you, Chris Brown.

He's out 855 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:19,160 Speaker 1: there a training camp doing his thing. Anti Lee Je 856 00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:24,480 Speaker 1: Doozable joining us. Are you doing ld I'm doing good? 857 00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:26,480 Speaker 1: Chris and Steve, How are you guys doing. It's been 858 00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,919 Speaker 1: a while since we've all been together. Yeah, we're doing good. 859 00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,360 Speaker 1: You must do. Things must be going nice in New 860 00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,600 Speaker 1: York except for the fact that you know, McKay Beckton's 861 00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:35,480 Speaker 1: knee is gonna be a problem form and stuff. But 862 00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:39,239 Speaker 1: they're building a roster that really looks like it's headed 863 00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:42,759 Speaker 1: in the right direction. Is that the general vibe? Yeah, 864 00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:46,160 Speaker 1: one hundred percent. I think everybody was excited for Zach 865 00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:49,040 Speaker 1: Wilson year two in this Michael Laflora offense. One of 866 00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:51,440 Speaker 1: the biggest things guys I wanted to see Zach Wilson 867 00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:54,560 Speaker 1: take a step in was his pocket presence. Right, A 868 00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:56,680 Speaker 1: lot of young rookie quarterbacks, they tend to drift back 869 00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:58,880 Speaker 1: in the pocket, and that's dangerous in the NFL, right 870 00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,480 Speaker 1: because that gives guys like me a free range to 871 00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:04,360 Speaker 1: run around the hoop at nine ten eleven yards and 872 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,960 Speaker 1: hit the quarterback. So one thing I wanted to see 873 00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,000 Speaker 1: him progressing was him being comfortable in the pocket, stepping up, 874 00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:14,040 Speaker 1: and throughout the first two weeks of practicing. Today he 875 00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:16,400 Speaker 1: seemed like he's gotten a lot more comfortable as far 876 00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:19,120 Speaker 1: as hitching up and stepping into the pocket and delivering 877 00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:21,600 Speaker 1: the ball with accuracy. So I think that's a big 878 00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,919 Speaker 1: step of grow once you see your franchise quarterback, because 879 00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:27,279 Speaker 1: essentially it took him number two of roll to be 880 00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:30,239 Speaker 1: the franchise guy of the future for him to see 881 00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,440 Speaker 1: that development, to see that progression, that's what you want 882 00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,680 Speaker 1: to see. And then the tight end position, I mean 883 00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,200 Speaker 1: that position. I didn't even know that Jets knew what 884 00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:39,719 Speaker 1: a tight end was until this year. And now they 885 00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:43,080 Speaker 1: have two viable guys and cj Usama and Tyler Cocklin 886 00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:45,080 Speaker 1: who they got at the free agency. And honestly, I 887 00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,439 Speaker 1: think Tyler Conklin is going to be the true number 888 00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:50,040 Speaker 1: one tight end guy for the New York Jets. He's 889 00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:52,560 Speaker 1: got a real rapport where Zach Wilson early in this 890 00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,600 Speaker 1: training camp, so look for him to be heavily involved 891 00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:58,200 Speaker 1: in this offense and then weapons on the outside. That's 892 00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:00,960 Speaker 1: something that Jets also have struggled with Garrett Wilson. You know, 893 00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:02,799 Speaker 1: at the top of the draft, the number ten pick 894 00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,480 Speaker 1: a guy that competes through throughout the whistle, a guy 895 00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:08,000 Speaker 1: that has a high catch radius, a guy that you know, 896 00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:10,839 Speaker 1: ultra competitive, that will block you in the run game. 897 00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,279 Speaker 1: And I honestly believe that Elijah Moore will take that 898 00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,320 Speaker 1: next step and be the true number one receiver for 899 00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:18,839 Speaker 1: the Jets. And at the running back position, Michael Carter 900 00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,359 Speaker 1: showed well last year, but getting Breeze Hall, I mean, 901 00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,359 Speaker 1: this guy is a warhorse guys, and I think that's 902 00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:26,279 Speaker 1: the thing people have to realize on this office. They 903 00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:28,719 Speaker 1: talk about Zach Wilson, but this is an offense that's 904 00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,680 Speaker 1: gonna run the ball methodically. They want to run the football. So, 905 00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:33,680 Speaker 1: I mean, the future looks bright man. There's a lot 906 00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:35,560 Speaker 1: of young stars on the team, and it seems like 907 00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:39,359 Speaker 1: the Jets are finally building get the right way, Steve 908 00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:44,080 Speaker 1: Mensam McKay back then leje and it's unfortunate. Do you 909 00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:48,120 Speaker 1: know how the injury even took place in practice? I 910 00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,640 Speaker 1: mean a fractured kneecap, that's take a helmet or something. 911 00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:54,239 Speaker 1: I mean, man, well, I mean I know he was 912 00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:56,360 Speaker 1: engaged with John Franklin Myers, and then you know he 913 00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:58,600 Speaker 1: was doing some individual work where he was already like 914 00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,800 Speaker 1: kind of in some disc comfort throwing individual but he 915 00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:03,680 Speaker 1: was still firing off the ball, so he looked like 916 00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:06,640 Speaker 1: he was just dealing with some pain from the knee injury. 917 00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:08,719 Speaker 1: You know, he had the knee injury, yes, last year, 918 00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:11,640 Speaker 1: but these are two totally different injuries. I mean, you're 919 00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,680 Speaker 1: talking about a kneecap and then the knee injury he 920 00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:15,759 Speaker 1: had last year where in the first half verse to 921 00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,840 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers in Week one, a defensive linement stepped on 922 00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,200 Speaker 1: his ankle and kind of his knee was planted in 923 00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:23,400 Speaker 1: the ground and he just never recovered from that and 924 00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,040 Speaker 1: wasn't able to play. This is something totally different when 925 00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,680 Speaker 1: you're talking about a kneecap injury. So he was engaged 926 00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:30,759 Speaker 1: with John Franklin Myers, and then after that it was 927 00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,440 Speaker 1: just so much discomfort that he had to take it inside. 928 00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:35,880 Speaker 1: And you know, the trainers initially thought his knee was 929 00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:37,759 Speaker 1: stable and everything was fine. They were just doing the 930 00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:40,960 Speaker 1: MRII as a formality, right they did. I mean, a 931 00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,320 Speaker 1: kneecap issue was the last thing on their mind. So 932 00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,560 Speaker 1: when that came out, you know, it was devastating and 933 00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,279 Speaker 1: I feel for Mccay've talked through to McKay throughout the 934 00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:51,080 Speaker 1: last couple of years as he's been on the Jets, 935 00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:53,400 Speaker 1: and he knew that this was a big gear for him, right, 936 00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:55,239 Speaker 1: he knew what they didn't tail they moved him over 937 00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:57,160 Speaker 1: to the right side, which honestly, I thought it was 938 00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:59,960 Speaker 1: gonna be a better fit for him in this offense anyway. 939 00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:02,279 Speaker 1: But you know, after missing all last year and then 940 00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:04,920 Speaker 1: talk about what he did his rookie year, and you know, 941 00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,200 Speaker 1: everybody thought that this guy had the potential to be 942 00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:09,520 Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl player because he showed that at times 943 00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:11,840 Speaker 1: this rookie year. You know, the game versu Joey Bosa, 944 00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:15,200 Speaker 1: he dominated that guy, and that's a perennial Pro Bowl guy. So, 945 00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:17,839 Speaker 1: I mean, the health issue was always an issue with him, 946 00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:19,880 Speaker 1: and it just sucks because he worked his butt off 947 00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,000 Speaker 1: to come back from that knee injury. He was literally, 948 00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:24,000 Speaker 1: you know, it's a cliche people say in the best 949 00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:26,200 Speaker 1: shape of his life, but he literally was in the 950 00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:28,320 Speaker 1: best shape of his life going into this camp and 951 00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:31,520 Speaker 1: it sucks you feel for the kid. And now it 952 00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:36,040 Speaker 1: turns to it seems like it's gonna be Chuma Edoga. Yeah, 953 00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:41,640 Speaker 1: fourth year guy out of Southern out of USC. How 954 00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,160 Speaker 1: many guys did they move around? I know it? Go 955 00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:48,279 Speaker 1: Idoga was the backup left tackle by the You know, 956 00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:50,960 Speaker 1: with McKay playing the right tackle, are they gonna did 957 00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,000 Speaker 1: they have to move more than one guy around? Or 958 00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:55,360 Speaker 1: is the other four guys? Did they stay intact or 959 00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:58,000 Speaker 1: they have to shuffle in front of Zach Wilson again 960 00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:01,120 Speaker 1: or is it just one in one out. Well, that's 961 00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:04,800 Speaker 1: an interesting concept, Steve, because they had Dwayne Brown on 962 00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,319 Speaker 1: the sideline, who was a perennial Pro Bowl officsive tackle 963 00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:10,520 Speaker 1: from the Seattle Seahawks, also played for the Houston Texans. 964 00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:13,120 Speaker 1: He was at the Greener White scrimmage this past weekend 965 00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:15,640 Speaker 1: and talks of you know, really ramped up between him 966 00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:17,840 Speaker 1: and Joe Douglass and his camp. But the thing is 967 00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:21,040 Speaker 1: with Dwayne Brown, like it's his decision whether he wants 968 00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:22,759 Speaker 1: to sign with the Jets. Now, again, this guy is 969 00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,320 Speaker 1: a perennial pro bowler, started seven years old, and you 970 00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,440 Speaker 1: know usually when your dad age, you're looking to make 971 00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,800 Speaker 1: sure you go to a contender. Now the Jets, you know, 972 00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:32,919 Speaker 1: and they could he could like the culture the Jets 973 00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:35,520 Speaker 1: have it Robert Salo because when Robert Salo was at 974 00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:37,839 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans, Dwayne Brown was there, so he knows 975 00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:40,160 Speaker 1: him personally. So that's the one thing I think that 976 00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:42,880 Speaker 1: you know, Robert Salo has over some other teams that 977 00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:46,399 Speaker 1: are potentially vying for Dwayne Brown. But those tech talks 978 00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:49,200 Speaker 1: have definitely ramped up since the injury to Makai beck 979 00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:51,879 Speaker 1: And you know, chimmya Dooga to me is a nice 980 00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:54,320 Speaker 1: swing tackle. When he was able to get into the 981 00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,480 Speaker 1: game last year because of injuries to Morgan Moses and 982 00:56:57,560 --> 00:56:59,880 Speaker 1: George Fan last year, he actually showed well. The thing 983 00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,560 Speaker 1: with Yudoga has been the same issue with McCay Beckton. 984 00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:05,000 Speaker 1: He can't stay healthy. Like the kid has a lot 985 00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:08,319 Speaker 1: of potential, but he's just always banged up and has 986 00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:11,040 Speaker 1: never been able to really solidify himself at either one 987 00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,920 Speaker 1: of the tackle positions. So this is his big opportunity too, right, 988 00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:16,400 Speaker 1: because he's heading into a free agent year now they're 989 00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:18,800 Speaker 1: bringing Dwayne Brown. There's not even nothing to talk about, right, 990 00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,840 Speaker 1: Dwayne Brown slides right in. Now. The question is do 991 00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:24,360 Speaker 1: they move George Fan back to right tackle? Because George 992 00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,520 Speaker 1: Fant played the best football of his life last year 993 00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:29,240 Speaker 1: at left tackle, but Dwayne Brown's only played left tackle, 994 00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:31,240 Speaker 1: so I don't know if he'd be comfortable moving to 995 00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:33,880 Speaker 1: right tackle. So that is the big esclamation point, Like 996 00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:36,760 Speaker 1: what happens if the Jets do sign to Wayne Brown. 997 00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,480 Speaker 1: Does George Fantz slide back over to right tackle where 998 00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:41,960 Speaker 1: he's been more comfortable at left, and then Dwayne Brown 999 00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:45,600 Speaker 1: plays you know, left tackle and Fan plays right? Or 1000 00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:48,160 Speaker 1: do the Jets just roll the dice with two manyudoga 1001 00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:51,520 Speaker 1: pray that he stays healthy and potentially maybe bring somebody 1002 00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:54,280 Speaker 1: in like Andre Dillard, who you know, the Philadelphia Eagles 1003 00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:56,200 Speaker 1: have been talked about maybe one to trade, or even 1004 00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:59,120 Speaker 1: Tevin Jenkins from the Chicago Bears. I know they've talked 1005 00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,160 Speaker 1: about trading him as well, but I know there's some 1006 00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,120 Speaker 1: health scares with his back issues, So I don't know 1007 00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:05,640 Speaker 1: if Joe d would pull that trigger. But Andre Dillard 1008 00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:07,800 Speaker 1: is another name that I think people need to, you know, 1009 00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:10,480 Speaker 1: circle and put their put the radar on, because I 1010 00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:12,320 Speaker 1: know Philadelphia has been trying to trade them for the 1011 00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:16,720 Speaker 1: last two years. You already mentioned Elijah Moore, who was 1012 00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:18,840 Speaker 1: a guy in the Bills liked a lot and you 1013 00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:21,480 Speaker 1: know the twenty twenty one draft as well at Old Miss, 1014 00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:25,960 Speaker 1: and you think he's gonna be their number one guy? 1015 00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:29,160 Speaker 1: Is he still working primarily out of the slaughter? Are 1016 00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:33,120 Speaker 1: they moving him around more? Yeah, they're moving him around. 1017 00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:35,440 Speaker 1: And when you draft a guy like Garrett Wilson, you 1018 00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:38,400 Speaker 1: got Corey Davis coming back, it gives you, you know, 1019 00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:41,560 Speaker 1: the free space to move Elijah more around. Like last 1020 00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:43,440 Speaker 1: year he was a rickie. I believe they didn't want 1021 00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:45,160 Speaker 1: to put too much on his plate. Now, Michael Floord 1022 00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:47,040 Speaker 1: did move him around a lot, but he had some 1023 00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:48,800 Speaker 1: of his best success in the slot and that's what 1024 00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:50,720 Speaker 1: he did at Old Miss too. But I think he 1025 00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:53,360 Speaker 1: has the ability to be a guy that can line 1026 00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:56,240 Speaker 1: up at all three wide receiver positions. And again, a 1027 00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:59,040 Speaker 1: guy like Garrett Wilson coming again into the foe, a 1028 00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:00,720 Speaker 1: guy that can play in this as well. And play 1029 00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:03,360 Speaker 1: on the outside as well. It frees up Elijah More 1030 00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:05,640 Speaker 1: to do more things, so you know, in the rounds 1031 00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:07,840 Speaker 1: was big for him. Last year, was big for him 1032 00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:09,880 Speaker 1: at Old Miss. You're gonna get some of those sometimes 1033 00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:12,440 Speaker 1: even lyning him in the backfield just to get you know, 1034 00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:15,000 Speaker 1: Michael Lafoord just wants that matchup where it's a linebacker 1035 00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:17,560 Speaker 1: on Elijah More. He's gonna try to exploit that. So 1036 00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:20,040 Speaker 1: Elijah Moore will move all the way around. I think 1037 00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:22,400 Speaker 1: he's a true number one receiver for the Jets. A 1038 00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:25,360 Speaker 1: thing is with other players, right, can he stay healthy 1039 00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:27,760 Speaker 1: because he missed I believe six games last year, So 1040 00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:30,480 Speaker 1: health issues have been an issue for this Jets team. 1041 00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:32,920 Speaker 1: I believe they played more rookies than anybody last year. 1042 00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:34,880 Speaker 1: So the good thing is a lot of those young 1043 00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:37,520 Speaker 1: guys got experienced heading into this year. Now it's all 1044 00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:40,160 Speaker 1: about staying healthy. Because Michael Carter, I believe, miss four games, 1045 00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:43,240 Speaker 1: Elijah Moore miss six games. You can't have your guys 1046 00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:45,720 Speaker 1: are gonna be your main guys missing games. You're not 1047 00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:48,440 Speaker 1: gonna have success when that happens. As you look at 1048 00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:51,960 Speaker 1: the Jets depth charts as it stands, certainly you know 1049 00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:55,160 Speaker 1: Corey Davis is on there as a wide receiver, Braxton Burials, 1050 00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:58,280 Speaker 1: Elijah Moore. Where's Garrett Wilson fitting in? How's he looking? 1051 00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:01,600 Speaker 1: Here's a guy that I mean every team wishes he 1052 01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:03,560 Speaker 1: would have fallen to them, and the Jets got him. 1053 01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:06,040 Speaker 1: This guy seems like he can really want to be 1054 01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:09,240 Speaker 1: going to be the next young wide receiver to come 1055 01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:12,120 Speaker 1: in and hit it, hit the ground running right away. 1056 01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:15,040 Speaker 1: But yet is he with the first croup? But not 1057 01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:18,440 Speaker 1: quite yet. Yeah, I mean he's been he's been rotating 1058 01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:20,120 Speaker 1: in with the first group, and you know how it 1059 01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:22,000 Speaker 1: is when you're a rookie, Steve, the coach doesn't want 1060 01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:23,280 Speaker 1: to just put you on the top of the depth 1061 01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:25,880 Speaker 1: chart right away, right you have to earn those stripes. 1062 01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:29,479 Speaker 1: So right now, on the unofficial depth chart, he's listened 1063 01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:31,400 Speaker 1: as a second team member, but he'll be a starter 1064 01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:34,520 Speaker 1: with Elijah Moore and Corey Davis. I believe Baxston Burrials 1065 01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:36,840 Speaker 1: will be that fourth receiver that comes in and to 1066 01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:39,400 Speaker 1: be able to play every single position, mainly in the 1067 01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:41,600 Speaker 1: slot to back up the slot position because that's where 1068 01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:44,920 Speaker 1: Brackston Burials, that's most of his damage in the slot positions. 1069 01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:47,000 Speaker 1: Of Garret Wilson will be one of the three starting 1070 01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:49,160 Speaker 1: receivers for the Jets when they roll out. You know, 1071 01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:52,240 Speaker 1: in week one verse to Baltimore Ravens, they're just making 1072 01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:54,320 Speaker 1: sure that he earns his stripe right. They don't just 1073 01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:56,360 Speaker 1: want to give him the position. He's done a really 1074 01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:58,520 Speaker 1: good job at camp. I know people were kind of 1075 01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:00,840 Speaker 1: worried about him during ota Is because he just wasn't 1076 01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:03,560 Speaker 1: making enough splash plays. Well, he's made enough splash plays 1077 01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:05,440 Speaker 1: these last couple of weeks in practice and starting to 1078 01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:08,600 Speaker 1: build that rapport with Zach Wilson again. I just think 1079 01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:11,600 Speaker 1: the staff love love the way this kid competes, right, 1080 01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:13,720 Speaker 1: And if you look at what Robert Sala and Joe 1081 01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:16,160 Speaker 1: Douglas have done, they have drafted guys that love the 1082 01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:19,000 Speaker 1: game of football and ultimate competitors. That's how they're trying 1083 01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,320 Speaker 1: to build this roster in this team the right way, 1084 01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:25,200 Speaker 1: and Garrett and Garrett Wilson fits that mode exactly. You know, 1085 01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:29,840 Speaker 1: you mentioned Bruce Hall already, Liege, and while I think 1086 01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:33,440 Speaker 1: a lot of people view him as a workhorse feature 1087 01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:36,760 Speaker 1: back based on what he did at Iowa State, we're 1088 01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:40,360 Speaker 1: also reminded of the fact that you know Robert Sala Lafleur. 1089 01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:44,360 Speaker 1: They come off the San Francisco coaching tree where more 1090 01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:47,360 Speaker 1: often than not it's a committee backfield. What should we 1091 01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:52,760 Speaker 1: expect with the running back usage slash rotation, even though 1092 01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:55,200 Speaker 1: you have a guy capable of being a workhorse like 1093 01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,600 Speaker 1: Bruce Hall. Yeah, I believe to start the year off 1094 01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:02,880 Speaker 1: Stephen Chris, it'll be fifty fifty Michael Carter and breeaw Now, 1095 01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:04,760 Speaker 1: I would not be surprised towards the back end of 1096 01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:06,600 Speaker 1: the year if Breeze Hall ends up taking over the 1097 01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:09,320 Speaker 1: majority of those carries and Michael Carter becomes more of 1098 01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:11,640 Speaker 1: a third down guy. But the thing is, Breece Hall 1099 01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:13,720 Speaker 1: is a third down back as well. Right, he can 1100 01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:15,520 Speaker 1: catch the ball in the backfield. He's a guy that 1101 01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:18,480 Speaker 1: will thud it up with linebackers, chop linebackers down pick 1102 01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:21,440 Speaker 1: up blitches. He showed that at Iowa State. So honestly, 1103 01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:24,240 Speaker 1: I think Michael Carter last year showed well. Had almost 1104 01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:26,960 Speaker 1: a thousand all purpose yards last season even though he 1105 01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:29,600 Speaker 1: missed four games. So this is a guy that can 1106 01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:32,320 Speaker 1: play well too. The thing is he's never asked the 1107 01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:34,640 Speaker 1: big Actually, he's never been asked to be the guy. 1108 01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:37,240 Speaker 1: Even at North Carolina, you know Javonte Williams was there 1109 01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:39,560 Speaker 1: with him, so he was never truly the work horse 1110 01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:41,640 Speaker 1: when he's been the running back. So I think a 1111 01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:43,520 Speaker 1: guy like Breecee Hall coming and I think they split 1112 01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:46,040 Speaker 1: the carries fifty fifty and I would not be surprised. 1113 01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:48,960 Speaker 1: So the back end of the season, if Breeese Hall 1114 01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:51,080 Speaker 1: continues to develop like he's doing. He had a really 1115 01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:54,360 Speaker 1: good Green and White scrimmages past weekend, he may pass 1116 01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:56,680 Speaker 1: up Michael Carter and Michael Carter becomes more of the 1117 01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,480 Speaker 1: third down back and Breeze Hall becomes more of the 1118 01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:01,800 Speaker 1: first and second down back. Give us a little thumbnail 1119 01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:04,320 Speaker 1: about where their defense sits right now. C. J. Mosley 1120 01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:06,680 Speaker 1: in the middle of it, kind of still the kind 1121 01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:08,880 Speaker 1: of guy making the calls there. Give us an idea 1122 01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,800 Speaker 1: of where they're at personnel wise, and the vibe coming 1123 01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:14,520 Speaker 1: off that side of the bowl. Yeah, Steve, if you 1124 01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:17,160 Speaker 1: know anything about Robert Salad, this defense is predicated off 1125 01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:18,880 Speaker 1: the defensive line, right if he was when he was 1126 01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:22,080 Speaker 1: in San Francisco, we saw the defensive line he had right, 1127 01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:26,280 Speaker 1: starting with the Forest Buckner, Eric Armstead, Joey Bosa, right 1128 01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:28,919 Speaker 1: d Ford. Well, he's trying to build that same type 1129 01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:31,320 Speaker 1: of defensive line with the New York Jets. Now. Carl 1130 01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:33,720 Speaker 1: Lawson is a guy who was their high you know 1131 01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:37,040 Speaker 1: acquisition free agent last year, and he got hurt early 1132 01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:40,360 Speaker 1: in camp that the Green Bay week in preseason during practice, 1133 01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:42,600 Speaker 1: you know, it tears his achilles and is out for 1134 01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:44,840 Speaker 1: the year. So it's like you're almost getting another free 1135 01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:47,560 Speaker 1: agent with Carl Lawson because he didn't play last year. 1136 01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:50,520 Speaker 1: So they also drafted Jermaine Johnson, who was my crush 1137 01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:52,840 Speaker 1: in the draft. Like I was surprised he failed to 1138 01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:56,640 Speaker 1: pick twenty six. To me, was the most ready defensive 1139 01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:58,840 Speaker 1: end as far as playing against the run, and he 1140 01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:00,680 Speaker 1: hadn't even hit his seiling when it comes to the 1141 01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:03,520 Speaker 1: pass rusher pass rushing, he is just coming into his 1142 01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:05,960 Speaker 1: own as a pass rush. I mean at the Singer Bowl. 1143 01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:07,920 Speaker 1: This dude was only there two days because he put 1144 01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:10,000 Speaker 1: on the pass rush display and the only thing that 1145 01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:12,240 Speaker 1: he could have done was hurt his draft stock or 1146 01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:14,160 Speaker 1: get hurt, which would have hurt his draft stock. So 1147 01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:16,560 Speaker 1: he ended up leaving after two days. The Jets end 1148 01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:18,320 Speaker 1: up taking him at twenty six, where I don't think 1149 01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:21,280 Speaker 1: anybody thought he would actually be. They took Jacob Martin 1150 01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:23,840 Speaker 1: and the free agent free agency is a guy who's 1151 01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:26,040 Speaker 1: gonna be a rush specialist for them on third down. 1152 01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:29,040 Speaker 1: Bryce Huff comes back. He was playing really good football 1153 01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:31,200 Speaker 1: in the beginning of the year before he got hurt. 1154 01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:34,120 Speaker 1: Their guy, their swing guy, John Franklin Myers, who's kind 1155 01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:35,840 Speaker 1: of built like Eric Arms said, he's a guy that's 1156 01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:38,080 Speaker 1: going to start on the edge on first and second down, 1157 01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:40,200 Speaker 1: but then on passing downs he's gonna slide in the side. 1158 01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:42,640 Speaker 1: And Quinny Williams, guys, to me, has had the best 1159 01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:45,840 Speaker 1: training camp out of any jet this year. Right we 1160 01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:48,440 Speaker 1: know he's coming up against his deal. He's eligible for 1161 01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:50,800 Speaker 1: a deal right now, but they're gonna probably work at 1162 01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:53,480 Speaker 1: a workout a deal after this year. And Quinn Williams 1163 01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:55,240 Speaker 1: seems like he's going to be making a lot of 1164 01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:58,600 Speaker 1: money because he has been dominant at training camp right now. 1165 01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:01,160 Speaker 1: So this is the first time since Robert Salis had 1166 01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:04,520 Speaker 1: this defense that he has a rotation of defensive lineman 1167 01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:06,920 Speaker 1: and that's what he had in San Francisco, and that's 1168 01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:09,400 Speaker 1: how he really wants to build this defense right from 1169 01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:12,080 Speaker 1: the front back. He wants to impour eight to nine 1170 01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:15,040 Speaker 1: defensive lineman the game and rotate them after three or 1171 01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:17,800 Speaker 1: four snaps so they can get after the quarterback. Stevee 1172 01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:20,440 Speaker 1: talked about CJ. Mosey. He is the captain of the defense. 1173 01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:23,680 Speaker 1: Very smart linebacker, still savvy. I know he's getting up 1174 01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:25,160 Speaker 1: there in age, but he can still get it done. 1175 01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:27,439 Speaker 1: They got Quincy Williams next to him, but they also 1176 01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:30,160 Speaker 1: brought in Kawan Alexander right before camp. This is a 1177 01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:32,120 Speaker 1: guy that's familiar with the defense. He was in San 1178 01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:35,600 Speaker 1: Francisco with Robert Salo, one of the best coverage linebackers 1179 01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:37,720 Speaker 1: in all of football, so they got better at that 1180 01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:40,600 Speaker 1: position and in the secondary. Right, it took a Mazas 1181 01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:43,479 Speaker 1: Garner to me who was the best corner in this draft. 1182 01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:46,160 Speaker 1: Now Stingley has the most upside, but as far as 1183 01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:49,520 Speaker 1: you know seeing it on tape, there was nobody, nobody 1184 01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:52,360 Speaker 1: better than the Masaus Garner. And this defense has changed 1185 01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:54,080 Speaker 1: up over the last few years. It was always a 1186 01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:55,960 Speaker 1: Cover three defense or the D line get after you, 1187 01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:58,160 Speaker 1: but Robert Salo likes to heat it up on third 1188 01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:01,000 Speaker 1: down and bring that pressure, so you gotta be able 1189 01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:03,160 Speaker 1: to win on the outside of the cornerback position. So 1190 01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:05,960 Speaker 1: they brought in DJ Reid at one corner position, who 1191 01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:07,880 Speaker 1: was familiar with this defense, who was with Robert Salo 1192 01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:10,560 Speaker 1: and San Fran and played in this defense in seatt him. 1193 01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:12,840 Speaker 1: And then they took you know, a Mazas Gardner with 1194 01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,800 Speaker 1: the number four overall pick. Also brought in Jordan Whitehead 1195 01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:18,720 Speaker 1: to change the mantra of that second you know secondary. 1196 01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:22,320 Speaker 1: He's a fierce guy, a competitive guy, run hit guy 1197 01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:25,320 Speaker 1: at the safety position and has championship experience with the 1198 01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:28,360 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Bucks. So this you talk about maybe seven 1199 01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:32,120 Speaker 1: to eight new starters on defense for this Jet defense, 1200 01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:34,600 Speaker 1: which was the worst defense in football last year. Right. 1201 01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:36,560 Speaker 1: They gave up the most points per game, And as 1202 01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:38,840 Speaker 1: a defensive minded coach, that kills you. Right. I talked 1203 01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:40,960 Speaker 1: to Robert Salo at least once or twice a week. 1204 01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:43,400 Speaker 1: I know it affected them all last year, so he 1205 01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:46,680 Speaker 1: wanted to really rectify that side of the ball. Luge, 1206 01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:48,640 Speaker 1: thanks for bringing us up to speed on the Jets. 1207 01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:51,400 Speaker 1: We probably won't see you guys until much later in 1208 01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:53,600 Speaker 1: the season. I think both matchups are in the second 1209 01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:56,360 Speaker 1: half of the year. It's gonna be interesting to see 1210 01:06:56,400 --> 01:07:00,640 Speaker 1: the development with the team. Because the Jets figure to 1211 01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:03,800 Speaker 1: be better come week you know, eight or nine than 1212 01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:05,960 Speaker 1: they will be in Week one or two or three 1213 01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:08,400 Speaker 1: with all the new pieces that they've added, as you've mentioned. 1214 01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:10,600 Speaker 1: So we look forward to seeing the development of that 1215 01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:13,000 Speaker 1: team come the second half of the year. Appreciate the time. 1216 01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:17,000 Speaker 1: As always, we'll catch up with you. Appreciate it all right. 1217 01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:21,760 Speaker 1: That's Lejay Doozable, NFL analyst, Jets analyst for SNY and 1218 01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:24,320 Speaker 1: the other outlets down there in New York, New Jersey 1219 01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:29,400 Speaker 1: metropolitan area. It's an interesting build that they're going through, 1220 01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:31,959 Speaker 1: and I think the most interesting part is the fact 1221 01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:36,040 Speaker 1: that sixty percent of their nickel defense is brand new, 1222 01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:40,040 Speaker 1: actually eighty percent. Michael Carter is the only guy coming 1223 01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:42,720 Speaker 1: back on the defense. That's Michael Carter. The second, if two, 1224 01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:44,680 Speaker 1: Michael Carter's on the team. One's a running back, one's 1225 01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:47,680 Speaker 1: a corner. I'm talking about their nickelback, Michael Carter. He's 1226 01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:51,040 Speaker 1: the only guy back from last year's starting secondary. Sauce 1227 01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:53,880 Speaker 1: Gardner's their draft pick this year. He's new. Jordan Whitehead 1228 01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:57,400 Speaker 1: free agency, New, LaMarcus Joiner free agency, New DJ Reid 1229 01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:01,200 Speaker 1: free agency, new. I mean, that's a lot to pull together. 1230 01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:04,160 Speaker 1: That's in one off season. Yeah, And I could see 1231 01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:07,240 Speaker 1: and I'm always transposing what happened here in Buffalo when 1232 01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:09,760 Speaker 1: they finally turned it around under Sean McDermott. Some of 1233 01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:12,920 Speaker 1: the things that he and Brandon being did and I 1234 01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:17,479 Speaker 1: transposed that onto what I see other teams doing. And 1235 01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:19,920 Speaker 1: this reminds me a lot of what the Bills went through. 1236 01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:24,840 Speaker 1: You can you imagine that many new guys defensively on 1237 01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:28,360 Speaker 1: your squad, And that's just a signal that just last 1238 01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:31,840 Speaker 1: year at points and Liege said it, they just threw 1239 01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:34,200 Speaker 1: up the White flight. They didn't have the guys. They 1240 01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:36,400 Speaker 1: just did not have the physical talent to match up 1241 01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:38,920 Speaker 1: and play defense in the NFL at the highest level. 1242 01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:42,360 Speaker 1: And they went out and said, we gotta fix it. 1243 01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:45,040 Speaker 1: You know, Sauce Gardener's gonna help them a lot, and 1244 01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:48,040 Speaker 1: so were these guys. And the defensive lineman, Carl Lawson's 1245 01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:50,640 Speaker 1: going to help them a lot. Be really interesting to 1246 01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:53,240 Speaker 1: see what Lawson looks like coming off the Achilles injury. 1247 01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:57,160 Speaker 1: It is a very difficult injury for players to return 1248 01:08:57,280 --> 01:09:00,719 Speaker 1: from and be the same guy, especially the bigger players 1249 01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:05,200 Speaker 1: that rely on speed, quickness, get off Carl Lawson's is 1250 01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:07,639 Speaker 1: a kind of a Greg Russo type guy, big, tall, 1251 01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:11,000 Speaker 1: long guy, pass rusher, pass rusher, edge rusher, was in 1252 01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:13,439 Speaker 1: Cincinnati for all those years. You're gonna have the same burst. 1253 01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:17,400 Speaker 1: That's a big question. That's that's Achilles is different, man, 1254 01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:22,000 Speaker 1: it is, so we'll see. It's one thing for guard, 1255 01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:25,240 Speaker 1: an offensive guard to have an achilles, but man, you're 1256 01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:27,519 Speaker 1: talking about a guy who's got to, you know, sprint 1257 01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:30,760 Speaker 1: forward instead of back pedal. Yeah, and he's a different world. 1258 01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:34,519 Speaker 1: He's spring loading two hundred and fifty eight pounds on 1259 01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:39,080 Speaker 1: a surgically repaired achilles, Like, is the burst the same? 1260 01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:40,640 Speaker 1: He's trying to get the most out of it too. 1261 01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:43,000 Speaker 1: It's gonna be very interesting to see if he is 1262 01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:46,479 Speaker 1: the same effective pass rusher that made him so attractive 1263 01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:52,080 Speaker 1: to the Jets in free agency last year at this time. Um. Yeah. 1264 01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:54,439 Speaker 1: And the other thing that caught my ear that Lejay 1265 01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:58,400 Speaker 1: said is the plan that Robert Salas supposedly has for 1266 01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:02,960 Speaker 1: his defensive line. He's gonna start rotating eight nine guys through, 1267 01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:05,680 Speaker 1: which is exactly what Leslie Fraser has been doing for 1268 01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:07,640 Speaker 1: the better part of the last five years. Here they 1269 01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:13,120 Speaker 1: do man copycat league copycat league, keep fresh guys in there. 1270 01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:16,320 Speaker 1: And that's that's true because once you get your defense. 1271 01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:18,920 Speaker 1: You know, Robert Silo is a defensive guy. He likes 1272 01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:20,840 Speaker 1: his guys, got his guys. But then he gets on 1273 01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:22,960 Speaker 1: the on the Jets, he's the head guy, and he 1274 01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:26,040 Speaker 1: starts interacting with all the offensive coaches and they're starting 1275 01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:27,800 Speaker 1: to tell him like, these guys are look at these guys, 1276 01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:30,639 Speaker 1: they're so fresh coming off here. You know we are. 1277 01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:32,479 Speaker 1: Our guys are having a hard time keeping up late 1278 01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:34,240 Speaker 1: in these games. And the second, you know, second half 1279 01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:37,640 Speaker 1: of the third quarter on, we're kind of tanked. You know, 1280 01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:40,960 Speaker 1: we're kind of gassed, and slo Is sitting there going, well, 1281 01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:44,240 Speaker 1: why don't we do that? You know, so for the 1282 01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:46,439 Speaker 1: first time, you know, as a defensive coordinator, you ever 1283 01:10:46,520 --> 01:10:48,439 Speaker 1: think about that because you got your guys and you 1284 01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:50,000 Speaker 1: play him. Then when you get on the other side 1285 01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:52,240 Speaker 1: of it and you really got to defend it or 1286 01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:56,120 Speaker 1: you know, play offense against it, you think it's pretty 1287 01:10:56,160 --> 01:11:02,080 Speaker 1: good because we all know you can't rotate your offensive lineman. 1288 01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:06,040 Speaker 1: You know, we've seen just don't do it. It's too 1289 01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:09,680 Speaker 1: hard to play well as a group when you're interchanging 1290 01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:13,720 Speaker 1: parts all the time. So yeah, it's makes a lot 1291 01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:15,800 Speaker 1: of sense, and if you've got the guys to do it, 1292 01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:17,439 Speaker 1: it's it's a great way to go. The Bills have 1293 01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:21,160 Speaker 1: proven it. Yeah, I don't know what to think of 1294 01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:25,960 Speaker 1: the Jets yet because they're unquestionably better in terms of talent, 1295 01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:29,640 Speaker 1: but as we said, because it's a lot, it's a 1296 01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:33,720 Speaker 1: lot to mesh together and blend and get it all 1297 01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:36,720 Speaker 1: to work. And then, of course, does the quarterback take 1298 01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:39,320 Speaker 1: the step, Like, even if the defense is better, they 1299 01:11:39,400 --> 01:11:42,120 Speaker 1: may win you a few games, but if your quarterback 1300 01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:45,040 Speaker 1: doesn't take that next step in his accuracy and his 1301 01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:49,040 Speaker 1: decision making, I mean, the run game and some defense 1302 01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:51,719 Speaker 1: might get you to seven eight wins, but generally speaks 1303 01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:53,880 Speaker 1: not putting you over the top. The Jets seem to 1304 01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:58,080 Speaker 1: have gotten better physically, but there's a lot of moving parts, 1305 01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:01,120 Speaker 1: a lot of brand new pieces to their squad, and 1306 01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:03,639 Speaker 1: the Bills have those same kind of answers. But they've 1307 01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:05,960 Speaker 1: kind of, over the years of the Sean McDermott, the 1308 01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:08,760 Speaker 1: five years that they've been here, proven that they can 1309 01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:12,519 Speaker 1: acclimate these new players very quickly, particularly the veteran players 1310 01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:14,240 Speaker 1: come in and they kind of get them acclimated in 1311 01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:16,320 Speaker 1: the offseason. They're ready to hit the ground running. I 1312 01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:18,800 Speaker 1: would expect the same thing from the Jets and Robert Salo. 1313 01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:21,120 Speaker 1: He's been around the block once or twice and they 1314 01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:24,200 Speaker 1: know how to get veteran NFL players are acclimated into 1315 01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:27,040 Speaker 1: their program, get him up to speed. But you put 1316 01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:29,439 Speaker 1: those new players with a bunch of new players, a 1317 01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:33,559 Speaker 1: bunch of rookie players, draft picks who are playing major 1318 01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:40,200 Speaker 1: roles like Sauce Gardner and Bruce Hall, the wide receiver 1319 01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:46,320 Speaker 1: from Ohio, Darren Wilson, Arres Wilson, you know those three. 1320 01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:49,519 Speaker 1: You know you've got starters. You know, then those question 1321 01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:52,240 Speaker 1: marks are a little bit bigger for those guys. So 1322 01:12:52,439 --> 01:12:54,559 Speaker 1: we'll see how that goes. But if all those questions 1323 01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:56,840 Speaker 1: get answered in the affirmative for the Jets, yeah, they're 1324 01:12:56,840 --> 01:13:00,160 Speaker 1: gonna be way better, significantly better. Not gonna be near 1325 01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:03,760 Speaker 1: the top of the draft. You know, it's gonna be 1326 01:13:03,800 --> 01:13:05,439 Speaker 1: a tussle when you go in there and play him 1327 01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:07,880 Speaker 1: in MetLife or when they come here and play you 1328 01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:13,040 Speaker 1: in high mark. So we've seen it happen here in Buffalo. 1329 01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:15,720 Speaker 1: If you get if you get a coach likea McDermott 1330 01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:21,000 Speaker 1: in this case, maybe Robert Sala. Maybe they do answer 1331 01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:23,000 Speaker 1: those questions a little bit faster, Yes, a a little 1332 01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:25,679 Speaker 1: bit faster than they would normally, So we'll see. Yeah, 1333 01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:28,120 Speaker 1: there's a reason to be optimistic in the Jets. We've 1334 01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:29,920 Speaker 1: been making the joke and I should have made it 1335 01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:32,400 Speaker 1: to leg see what he thought about about everybody missed 1336 01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:34,599 Speaker 1: a holiday this year to make fun of the Jets 1337 01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:39,599 Speaker 1: day of no Draft of the Jets Draft Day holiday, Right, 1338 01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:42,680 Speaker 1: we couldn't do it. This year. They killed it. They 1339 01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:46,719 Speaker 1: got guys everybody wanted at the top of the draft 1340 01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:50,639 Speaker 1: and they didn't blow it on any of them. So yeah, 1341 01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:53,800 Speaker 1: the expectations I think have to be pumped up a 1342 01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:55,680 Speaker 1: little bit for the Jets than where they've been in 1343 01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:58,479 Speaker 1: the past handful of years. We will take a break 1344 01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:00,800 Speaker 1: here when we come back.

We get to do 1366 01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:29,960 Speaker 1: it on chicken fingers, which I think is much better. 1367 01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:32,920 Speaker 1: And I'm I'm going hot right out of the box here, Steve. 1368 01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:37,160 Speaker 1: I'm going with the the Hot Tailgate Sauce series.

I'm gonna try this mild. 1384 01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:35,120 Speaker 1: So you saw the Josh was He's huddled up with 1385 01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:37,799 Speaker 1: a bunch of kids and they're trying cookies with this sauce. 1386 01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:40,400 Speaker 1: This is uh, this is the meat the mild right here. 1387 01:16:40,439 --> 01:16:42,560 Speaker 1: It's the kind of the orangey one oh, is this 1388 01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:45,160 Speaker 1: the wing sauce? Though, I think this is mild wing sauce. 1389 01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:48,240 Speaker 1: I think is what this is? All right, I'll buy 1390 01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:51,439 Speaker 1: that for a dollar? Oh wow, like it is this 1391 01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:55,120 Speaker 1: some tang here? Yeah? The mild wind sauce might be 1392 01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:59,759 Speaker 1: my favorite one of the three. Oh right, it's different. 1393 01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:02,759 Speaker 1: Let me dip that great sauce series from Wegman's Mafia 1394 01:17:02,840 --> 01:17:10,240 Speaker 1: Sauce Bill's Mafias. Yeah, good stuff. I think I like 1395 01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:13,759 Speaker 1: that one the best. I do too, the mild, because 1396 01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:16,960 Speaker 1: I'm it's got it's like a mild wing sauce, but 1397 01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:19,240 Speaker 1: it's good. It's got like a taen as to it 1398 01:17:19,360 --> 01:17:22,240 Speaker 1: that you don't usually get mild wing sauce. So we 1399 01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:26,360 Speaker 1: got the three. We got the hot, the mild, and 1400 01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:30,040 Speaker 1: then we got the barbecue. Then they got a bunch 1401 01:17:30,040 --> 01:17:32,240 Speaker 1: of rubs here too, this the dry well. Yeah, so 1402 01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:39,559 Speaker 1: they got buffalo wing rub. And over here they've got 1403 01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:42,760 Speaker 1: the chili lime, which is very intriguing to me. So 1404 01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:46,200 Speaker 1: I would like I would put that on a I 1405 01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:48,160 Speaker 1: got a pork butt or something and see what you 1406 01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:50,360 Speaker 1: can get out of that, or maybe even um, I'll 1407 01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:53,120 Speaker 1: see your pork button, raise you a brisket or a brisket. 1408 01:17:53,160 --> 01:17:55,240 Speaker 1: I would put chili lime on a brisket. What's the 1409 01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:57,800 Speaker 1: one by you? What's that rub? What? What the one 1410 01:17:57,840 --> 01:18:01,880 Speaker 1: over there? You're too busy eating right now? This is 1411 01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:07,840 Speaker 1: the classic Cajun. Oh yeah, tailgate rub sauce. That's pretty good, though, 1412 01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:15,160 Speaker 1: no tailgate rubs series. So, as I said, you can 1413 01:18:15,240 --> 01:18:20,520 Speaker 1: get any of these tailgate sauces or rubs at Wegman's. 1414 01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:25,040 Speaker 1: And the reason you see Josh on the label is 1415 01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:29,040 Speaker 1: because all proceeds go directly to the Patricia Allen Fund 1416 01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:33,800 Speaker 1: at O'shy Children's Hospital. So pretty good Rundown. I mean, 1417 01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:36,200 Speaker 1: everybody likes barbecue sauce, so you can't go wrong there. 1418 01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:39,560 Speaker 1: If you like a little heat, I would give the 1419 01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:41,320 Speaker 1: heat on a scale of one to ten. I'd say 1420 01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:44,400 Speaker 1: it's probably like a six six and a half, Yeah, 1421 01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:47,760 Speaker 1: which is great because, like I said, like if you 1422 01:18:47,880 --> 01:18:50,400 Speaker 1: have people that can't take stuff at the nine or 1423 01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:53,360 Speaker 1: ten scale, it's it's good for the masses. So if 1424 01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:56,439 Speaker 1: you're cooking at a tailgate, you want something that appeals 1425 01:18:56,479 --> 01:18:59,240 Speaker 1: to everybody. So that's enough heat to kind of get 1426 01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:01,720 Speaker 1: your attention, but not to make your eyes water, you 1427 01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:03,960 Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's just the right amount. He 1428 01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:06,639 Speaker 1: got a very the hot has got a very familiar flavor, 1429 01:19:06,760 --> 01:19:10,040 Speaker 1: but that mild, that mild like wing sauce. The tang 1430 01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:12,680 Speaker 1: a mild wing thought really good. That's the winner for me. 1431 01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:14,840 Speaker 1: Out of the three. I mean they're all good, but 1432 01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:18,600 Speaker 1: I like that one the best. Yeah, I'm totally with you. 1433 01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:23,719 Speaker 1: So so the mafia put it on your bill's tailgate menu. Sauce, 1434 01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:26,120 Speaker 1: no rub and what does it call him? The something series, 1435 01:19:27,280 --> 01:19:31,160 Speaker 1: Tailgate series, Steve series. That's it, the Tailgate Sauce series 1436 01:19:31,439 --> 01:19:37,360 Speaker 1: and the Tailgate rub series. All proceeds go to. Yeah, 1437 01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:41,160 Speaker 1: but yeah, put it on your tailgate menu. Whether it's 1438 01:19:41,200 --> 01:19:44,960 Speaker 1: this weekend for the preseason opener or whether it's the 1439 01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:48,800 Speaker 1: regular season. Have at it. I mean this is really good. Yeah, 1440 01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:51,400 Speaker 1: I like, I'm the sauces are great. All three of 1441 01:19:51,439 --> 01:19:53,680 Speaker 1: them are good. I like the mild one and the 1442 01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:55,880 Speaker 1: tanging is that it brings to the table. It's pretty solid, 1443 01:19:56,400 --> 01:19:59,439 Speaker 1: very solid group. Thanks to be on the lookout for that. 1444 01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,720 Speaker 1: As for doing that, Josh, and the good that it's 1445 01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:06,360 Speaker 1: gonna do, you know, people be all over it. It's 1446 01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:07,840 Speaker 1: a perfect thing for a game day and all that 1447 01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:11,720 Speaker 1: and game even at home not even for tailgating. So yeah, 1448 01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:14,960 Speaker 1: those are great. Uh. In the meantime, though, I'm gonna 1449 01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:17,880 Speaker 1: I'm surprised how good those are. Those are really good. Yeah, 1450 01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:20,599 Speaker 1: I like them. Yeah, I'm I'm gonna have to pick 1451 01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:24,679 Speaker 1: up the chili lime rubbed myself, right because I liked 1452 01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:28,120 Speaker 1: some of that lime. Hint in foods and dressings and 1453 01:20:28,200 --> 01:20:31,400 Speaker 1: stuff I've seen a bunch of like lime is kind 1454 01:20:31,439 --> 01:20:34,639 Speaker 1: of the new in thing. That chili lime rubbed disappears 1455 01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:38,720 Speaker 1: from the studio today. You can blame me, Yes, that's fine. Uh. 1456 01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:40,720 Speaker 1: In the meantime, we have to get back to the 1457 01:20:40,760 --> 01:20:43,400 Speaker 1: tweet sheet where we were asking which Bill's player will 1458 01:20:43,439 --> 01:20:48,479 Speaker 1: benefit the most from their surrounding cast. Okay, you keep 1459 01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:51,160 Speaker 1: eating and I'll read the tweet sheet. Patrick says, Isaiah 1460 01:20:51,240 --> 01:20:53,759 Speaker 1: McKenzie ain't gonna see a double team all year. Ditto 1461 01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:58,680 Speaker 1: for Greg Rousseau. I would tend to agree with that. 1462 01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:03,880 Speaker 1: He's assuming, obviously, that Gabe Davis and Stefan Diggs are 1463 01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:06,040 Speaker 1: going to draw a double team attention on the outside, 1464 01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:09,720 Speaker 1: which means Isaiah McKenzie could really eat with two way 1465 01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:12,360 Speaker 1: goes one on one. I mean we've said it, Steve, 1466 01:21:12,439 --> 01:21:14,960 Speaker 1: he's been probably one of the most consistent performers in 1467 01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:18,800 Speaker 1: all of training camp, not to mention the fact that 1468 01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:23,960 Speaker 1: he has given Tarren Johnson fits in terms of getting 1469 01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:26,360 Speaker 1: open and getting separation against a guy that I would 1470 01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:28,400 Speaker 1: argue as the top five nickel corner in the league. 1471 01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:31,960 Speaker 1: So I agree with that that makes sense. Patrick greg 1472 01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:35,000 Speaker 1: Russo is another interesting one. You figure that Ed Oliver 1473 01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:36,880 Speaker 1: is going to be drawn double teams, Von Miller is 1474 01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:39,720 Speaker 1: gonna be drawn double teams. You can't double everybody, so 1475 01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:41,840 Speaker 1: that means greg Russo is probably gonna have his fair 1476 01:21:41,920 --> 01:21:44,760 Speaker 1: share of one on one opportunities. On the pass rush. 1477 01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:50,920 Speaker 1: He's gonna be working against one of the tackles on 1478 01:21:51,080 --> 01:21:53,240 Speaker 1: either side because I think they'll move both those guys around. 1479 01:21:53,240 --> 01:21:55,559 Speaker 1: They'll flip them from side to side, try to find 1480 01:21:55,600 --> 01:22:00,479 Speaker 1: a nice combination. I've seen two Jordan Phillips getting penetration. 1481 01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:05,080 Speaker 1: I'm really optimistic about the ability of this defensive line 1482 01:22:05,080 --> 01:22:07,360 Speaker 1: in the passing game, in the long yardage situations to 1483 01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:09,400 Speaker 1: get on the other side of the line. Is scrimmage fast, 1484 01:22:10,040 --> 01:22:13,280 Speaker 1: really fast, and I just think it's going to end 1485 01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:16,040 Speaker 1: up being a lot of third and longs that come 1486 01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:18,320 Speaker 1: up short. You know what, I mean a lot of 1487 01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:21,280 Speaker 1: punts and maybe a lot of sacks, maybe tip passes, 1488 01:22:21,320 --> 01:22:24,280 Speaker 1: interception that kind of stuff. I really feel like this 1489 01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:26,960 Speaker 1: defense is going to see a lot of favorable down 1490 01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:33,320 Speaker 1: and distances against the sticks, and they're gonna make some 1491 01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:36,559 Speaker 1: plays because of it, hide and pour your back. They're 1492 01:22:36,640 --> 01:22:38,040 Speaker 1: rolling around, and I think they'll be able to go 1493 01:22:38,160 --> 01:22:43,360 Speaker 1: too high safety a little more often and still be 1494 01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:45,360 Speaker 1: able to hold up up front with six guys up 1495 01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:49,040 Speaker 1: in the box. So yeah, I'm really optimistic about it, 1496 01:22:49,080 --> 01:22:52,719 Speaker 1: and I'm I'm with him. Whether that's because Greg Rousseau 1497 01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:55,479 Speaker 1: is singled up or because one of the guys down 1498 01:22:55,520 --> 01:22:57,920 Speaker 1: inside or Von Miller is freed up as well. I 1499 01:22:57,960 --> 01:23:01,040 Speaker 1: think anyway you slice it, it sounds good. Rousseau is healthy, 1500 01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:02,640 Speaker 1: He's going to have more than the five sacks he 1501 01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:05,559 Speaker 1: had last year. I think that's a safe assumption. Jack 1502 01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:07,719 Speaker 1: is going in a similar direction. On the tweet sheet, 1503 01:23:07,720 --> 01:23:10,000 Speaker 1: he says little dirty Isaiah McKenzie's going to take the 1504 01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:12,960 Speaker 1: slot job by storm. He'll take what he learned watching 1505 01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:16,559 Speaker 1: Beasley at his speed and run after catchability. With Diggs, 1506 01:23:16,640 --> 01:23:18,960 Speaker 1: Davis Knox drawing lots of attention, He'll get wide open 1507 01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:23,200 Speaker 1: underneath and expose zones to make defenses pay. I predict 1508 01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:29,519 Speaker 1: eight touchdowns for McKenzie this year. Wow, that's a fat number. Yeah, 1509 01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:33,599 Speaker 1: we should note and granted it's different, and we talked 1510 01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:37,559 Speaker 1: about this extensively in our latest Bills by the Numbers podcast. 1511 01:23:37,720 --> 01:23:39,519 Speaker 1: You know what the slot receiver position is going to 1512 01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:41,799 Speaker 1: look like this year for the Bills with the potential 1513 01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:43,719 Speaker 1: of it being a shared role with a new offensive 1514 01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:47,200 Speaker 1: coordinator and somebody manning that position not named Cole Beasley. 1515 01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:50,320 Speaker 1: Beasley never had more than four touchdowns in any season 1516 01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:53,400 Speaker 1: for the Bills, and he was the number two target. 1517 01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:56,120 Speaker 1: But maybe that's because he did draw that much attention. 1518 01:23:56,200 --> 01:23:59,040 Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie figures to draw it not as much with 1519 01:23:59,240 --> 01:24:02,080 Speaker 1: Davis Diggs, and so maybe he does get more one 1520 01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:04,000 Speaker 1: on one opportunities and he gets to eat a little 1521 01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:07,280 Speaker 1: bit more because of it. Yeah, I kind of agree 1522 01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:10,920 Speaker 1: with you and I he's been productive when he's been 1523 01:24:10,960 --> 01:24:13,639 Speaker 1: in there. Now, he's shown up like out of the blue, 1524 01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:17,240 Speaker 1: when he's gotten his opportunities. When teams get a handle 1525 01:24:17,280 --> 01:24:22,519 Speaker 1: on him, he may not be so overlooked. Well, they'll 1526 01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:24,840 Speaker 1: have to adjust, right, But then that's when you would 1527 01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:27,760 Speaker 1: assume other guys in the offense start to eat and 1528 01:24:27,880 --> 01:24:31,759 Speaker 1: make plays. The next one, I thought, this is another 1529 01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:34,679 Speaker 1: good tweet. On the next one, read number four from Steve. 1530 01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:37,439 Speaker 1: He says, I believe it will be Tremaine Edmonds. He 1531 01:24:37,600 --> 01:24:40,360 Speaker 1: takes a lot of criticism, but has always had a 1532 01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:42,640 Speaker 1: lot of younger talent and not the right talent in 1533 01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:45,040 Speaker 1: front of him. This front line is locked in, loaded, 1534 01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:47,200 Speaker 1: and I expect to see impact plays from him this year. 1535 01:24:47,479 --> 01:24:51,280 Speaker 1: He will finally get some respect. That's That's a good guest. 1536 01:24:51,400 --> 01:24:53,320 Speaker 1: He and Milano. We talked to Milana when we had 1537 01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:57,519 Speaker 1: him on the show Steve last week. I said, how 1538 01:24:57,640 --> 01:25:00,439 Speaker 1: excited are you about these big dude in the middle 1539 01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:02,240 Speaker 1: of your defense. They're going to allow you to stay 1540 01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:05,280 Speaker 1: clean and run and hit right And he said, oh yeah, 1541 01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:07,840 Speaker 1: he goes, I am pumped for this, so I think 1542 01:25:07,880 --> 01:25:11,000 Speaker 1: he I think Milano mdmans their numbers are going to 1543 01:25:11,080 --> 01:25:14,800 Speaker 1: skyrocket because they're not gonna have guards climbing to the 1544 01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:17,479 Speaker 1: second level and gobbling them up. I think they gotta yeah, 1545 01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:18,880 Speaker 1: I've got to. I think they've got a chance to 1546 01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:20,760 Speaker 1: play a different kind of football than they have been 1547 01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:22,680 Speaker 1: able to play in the past. At least they at 1548 01:25:22,760 --> 01:25:29,559 Speaker 1: least last year. I think Tremaine is gonna just make 1549 01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:31,880 Speaker 1: more tackles. We've seen it already. There was a couple 1550 01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:36,120 Speaker 1: of periods in training camp this last week and this 1551 01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:39,000 Speaker 1: week where you know they're gonna do a little run 1552 01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:42,280 Speaker 1: run defense, and Tremaine is making the tackle on the 1553 01:25:42,320 --> 01:25:45,040 Speaker 1: other side of the scrimmage. Between the tackles, I mean, 1554 01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:48,479 Speaker 1: he is like attacking the line of scrimmage. And you know, 1555 01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:50,760 Speaker 1: if you've seen it, they just weren't able to do 1556 01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:55,080 Speaker 1: that in season's past. So I think there really is 1557 01:25:55,120 --> 01:25:58,240 Speaker 1: a chance for Tremaine Edmonds to to really build his 1558 01:25:58,439 --> 01:26:00,439 Speaker 1: esteem among Bills fans who you know, we've here, we 1559 01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:01,920 Speaker 1: hear it all the time and say, wow, I don't know, 1560 01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:05,599 Speaker 1: he's not the guy everybody wants to you know, everybody 1561 01:26:05,680 --> 01:26:07,680 Speaker 1: has something to say about and that he missed this play, 1562 01:26:07,760 --> 01:26:09,560 Speaker 1: missed that play, should be here, should be there? What 1563 01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:12,120 Speaker 1: should have done this? Should have done that. Meanwhile, he's 1564 01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:15,400 Speaker 1: going to the Pro Bowl every every season. But I 1565 01:26:15,560 --> 01:26:17,760 Speaker 1: think this is a year where people might say, well, 1566 01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:20,160 Speaker 1: you know what, that they might realize what they've got there, 1567 01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:22,880 Speaker 1: Like the league has already realized and sent him to 1568 01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:24,840 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. A couple of times. We have to 1569 01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:27,000 Speaker 1: take a break here, but when we come back, some 1570 01:26:27,120 --> 01:26:30,320 Speaker 1: final thoughts on the tweet sheet, and unfortunately another receiver 1571 01:26:30,479 --> 01:26:34,559 Speaker 1: slash returner injury, this time at Brown's training camp. Will 1572 01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:36,880 Speaker 1: tell you who it is next here on One Bill's Live. 1573 01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:51,800 Speaker 1: Stay tuned. All right, welcome back. It's One Bill's Live 1574 01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:54,840 Speaker 1: here on a Tuesday, and we have one final thought 1575 01:26:54,880 --> 01:26:56,559 Speaker 1: from the tweet sheet where we were asking you today 1576 01:26:56,600 --> 01:26:59,639 Speaker 1: which Bill's player will benefit the most from their surrounding cast. 1577 01:27:01,479 --> 01:27:06,679 Speaker 1: Sean says, definitely Rousseau, with the surrounding cast of Settle 1578 01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:13,000 Speaker 1: Phillips lawson Oliver Miller, that this freak of nature that 1579 01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:15,959 Speaker 1: has been fed gunpowder and gasoline is going to explode. 1580 01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:20,400 Speaker 1: Well done, Sean. I probably didn't hit the delivery out 1581 01:27:20,439 --> 01:27:24,440 Speaker 1: of the park there, but good tweet. Rousseau Steve McKenzie 1582 01:27:25,320 --> 01:27:29,080 Speaker 1: probably the two most popular answers today. Yeah, but I'll 1583 01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:32,960 Speaker 1: say this, with Russeau upfront, with Settle Phillip's loss and 1584 01:27:33,040 --> 01:27:34,800 Speaker 1: Oliver Miller, you could pick any one of those names 1585 01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:36,880 Speaker 1: that you list as being a guy who's going to 1586 01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:39,000 Speaker 1: be aided by all the other guys around him. Yeah, 1587 01:27:39,080 --> 01:27:41,479 Speaker 1: I think somebody on the defensive line, and that group's 1588 01:27:41,479 --> 01:27:44,479 Speaker 1: going to really blossom this year. Whether it's Ed Oliver 1589 01:27:44,680 --> 01:27:51,240 Speaker 1: or Tim Settle, Japanessa Boogie Basham, Greg Rousseau, any and 1590 01:27:51,320 --> 01:27:53,439 Speaker 1: one of these guys could have a great year because 1591 01:27:53,479 --> 01:27:56,080 Speaker 1: of this group and how good it's going to be. Certainly, 1592 01:27:56,320 --> 01:27:58,640 Speaker 1: the expectation is that the entire group's production is going 1593 01:27:58,680 --> 01:28:00,840 Speaker 1: to elevate and help everybody else in the back end 1594 01:28:00,880 --> 01:28:03,960 Speaker 1: and all of that. But yeah, you could pick any 1595 01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:06,479 Speaker 1: of those guys, but Russeau's as good as any, no 1596 01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:08,960 Speaker 1: question about it. He seems to be a guy that 1597 01:28:10,040 --> 01:28:12,439 Speaker 1: wrenched away a lot of snaps last year and got 1598 01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:15,880 Speaker 1: a lot of got a lot more repetitions during that 1599 01:28:16,040 --> 01:28:19,640 Speaker 1: rotational process than anybody else. I think people forget that 1600 01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:24,680 Speaker 1: Greg Russeau was a one year starter in college and 1601 01:28:24,840 --> 01:28:27,439 Speaker 1: then chose not to play during the COVID year in 1602 01:28:27,560 --> 01:28:30,640 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. So he started one year in school in 1603 01:28:30,760 --> 01:28:35,439 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, was ridiculously productive. Yeah, then sat out and 1604 01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:38,640 Speaker 1: opted out due in part to the fact that his 1605 01:28:38,720 --> 01:28:41,000 Speaker 1: mom was a nurse. She's in medical facilities. Didn't want 1606 01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:43,160 Speaker 1: to expose her and then there by patients and that 1607 01:28:43,280 --> 01:28:45,519 Speaker 1: kind of thing. Personal decision on that, and we totally 1608 01:28:45,560 --> 01:28:49,240 Speaker 1: get it. This guy's learning on the job all last year, 1609 01:28:49,439 --> 01:28:52,479 Speaker 1: not only you know, sharpening up his techniques again, but 1610 01:28:52,760 --> 01:28:56,240 Speaker 1: learning what a seventeen game regular season is. Yeah, you 1611 01:28:56,320 --> 01:28:59,000 Speaker 1: think now. I would like to think he's poised to 1612 01:28:59,160 --> 01:29:00,840 Speaker 1: know what to expect at the end of the season. 1613 01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:02,120 Speaker 1: Was at the end of the season when he had 1614 01:29:02,160 --> 01:29:05,840 Speaker 1: the tip pass from that was like week five tipping 1615 01:29:05,880 --> 01:29:09,640 Speaker 1: passes and taking off running the potentials there, so we 1616 01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:12,280 Speaker 1: may see it. Big show tomorrow is We're back at 1617 01:29:12,400 --> 01:29:15,280 Speaker 1: camp ed Oliver on the show on Wednesday along with 1618 01:29:15,439 --> 01:29:18,599 Speaker 1: CBS Sports Evan Washburn. We'll see it one
