00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: a lot to discuss today, a lot to break down

15
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: from the spring, and a lot to break down on

16
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, who is a major focus today with the show.

17
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: And we'll get into that in just a second. Hope

18
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: all you dad's out there had a great Father's Day

19
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: over the weekend. I did pretty well, although I did

20
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: get pressed into service. I had to do a little grilling. Yesterday.

21
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: There was an impromptu venue change for our family's Father's

22
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: Day and we ended up being the hosts. But it

23
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: was all good because I got a brand new grilling apron.

24
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: Now I have to admit I am not the apron

25
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: wearing type, but I played the part yesterday. Which is

26
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: another subject we can get into too, which is best

27
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: and worst Father's Day gifts you have ever received? But

28
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: I did get some good ones. I am going to

29
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: be going on a whitewater rafting trip with the family

30
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: at some point in Letchworth State Park, so that'll be

31
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: fun later this summer when we've got some downtime here

32
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: over the next six weeks. And I would say, all

33
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: in all, pretty good on my part. Hey, I got

34
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: some good stuff this year, so I was pretty happy

35
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: with my Father's Day. Got to lay on the couch

36
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: for the early part of the day and do nothing

37
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: because the weather certainly wasn't great here in Buffalo yesterday,

38
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: but made the best of that and then it cleared

39
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: up late in the day. So hopefully summer's on its way.

40
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 1: We're still waiting here in Buffalo, but it is what

41
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: it is. Talk about good Father's Day gifts. Josh Allen

42
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: certainly did right by his dad, had took him to

43
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: the US Open in Pebble Beach, and he was instagram

44
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: and tweeting about that over the weekend. So good on you,

45
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: Josh for doing right by your dad. And I know

46
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: he always calls. He has several times he has publicly

47
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: said that his dad is probably the greatest influence in

48
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: his life. And I know a lot of guys can

49
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: speak that way about their dad's as well. So hope

50
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: you guys all had a good Father's Day yesterday and

51
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 1: your family pampered you and treated you well on the

52
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: only day you really get as a dad to kick

53
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: back and relax. Right, But eight oh three five fifty

54
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: in the number to call one eight eight eight five

55
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty. And the reason I'm throwing those

56
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: numbers out there is because, you know, we're at a

57
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: point here in the off season where Mini camp has

58
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: wrapped up and the players are gone for the better

59
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: part of the next five and a half to six

60
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: weeks before they report for training camp at Saint John Fisher.

61
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: And what we have now is a chance to evaluate

62
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: everything that we saw in the spring, whether it was

63
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: on the field, whether it was on camera, what they're saying,

64
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: what the players thoughts are what the coach's thoughts are

65
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: about what's being put together here at One Bill's Drive

66
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: in year three of the build. And I know there

67
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: are a lot of expectations with a lot of elements

68
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: of this roster, as we've said at nauseum, the offensive line,

69
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: the wide receiving core, which has a lot of new

70
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: pieces we talked about, the defense, and a lot of

71
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: the continuity that they're enjoying with ten of eleven starters back,

72
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: the only exception being Kyle Williams. And there's other areas

73
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: of the roster too that are going to be of

74
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: intrigue when we get to training camp, not the least

75
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: of which is going to be the running back position.

76
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: But obviously the lightning rod for this roster is Josh

77
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: Allen and he is the subject of our Twitter poll

78
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: today because we wanted to really try to pinpoint the

79
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: things that we feel that you, as Bills fans, are

80
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: focused on. And I know a lot of this with

81
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback is very often statistically driven. I don't think

82
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: there's any question that Josh is a natural leader, and

83
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: so fitting into a natural leadership position like quarterback comes

84
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: quite naturally to him. As a matter of fact, I

85
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: had a conversation with him late last week, the day

86
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: before he left, and I asked him about that, because really,

87
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: that's the other half of the quarterback's job. Obviously, you

88
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: got to perform on the field. You got to lead

89
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: the guy and you know, be that focal point of

90
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: the offense and the trigger man to make everything happen.

91
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: But the other half of your job in that position

92
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: is to lead people off the field, have a camaraderie

93
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: with both sides of the Lions of scrimmage. I mean,

94
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: your your leadership has to cross from offense to defense

95
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: to special teams. You have to take part in maybe

96
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: a community effort that your teammates doing, like you know

97
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: Mica Hyde softball game a couple of weeks ago. There's Josh,

98
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: you know, supporting it, being out there, you know, having

99
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: some fun with the guys. It's that camaraderie too, It's

100
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: the other half of his job. And also putting a

101
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: good public face on as as a face of the franchise.

102
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: So he was telling me, yeah, you know, he said

103
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: he was kind of feeling his way through it last

104
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: year because his role wasn't defined on the field, because

105
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: he was in the midst of a three way quarterback competition,

106
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: so you can understand why you don't really willingly step

107
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: into that role till your roll on the field is defined.

108
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: But now, after the season that he had last year,

109
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: he is an entrenched starter. I mean, there's no secret

110
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: about that. But the way in which a lot of

111
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: the off the field and leadership type stuff comes so

112
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: naturally to him, I think is such a benefit for

113
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: this franchise because they don't have to worry about him

114
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: doing the right thing, saying the right things. All of

115
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: that stuff comes very naturally to him. And when I

116
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: was asking him about it, he actually credited his dad

117
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: and the way he was raised for making that such

118
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: an easy lift. It's not a heavy lift for him.

119
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: It's not phony, it's genuine. So I guess that's probably

120
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: the last way to throw a bouquet out there to

121
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: Dad's coming off of Father's Day. But our Twitter poll

122
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: deals specifically with the expectations on the field, and what

123
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: we're talking about are pretty much, where's Josh's next step

124
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: going to be the most notable? Maybe what statistical category

125
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: on offense will he take the biggest leap? And we

126
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: tried to benchmark these numbers because I went off projections

127
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: if he had started all sixteen games last year instead

128
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,239
Speaker 1: of the eleven starts that he got as a rookie

129
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen. And so what we're asking you is

130
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: what will Josh Allen most likely do in his second

131
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: NFL season? So you can hit us up on the

132
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: tweet sheet. You can call in at eight oh three

133
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: oh five fifty one eight eight eight five, fifty two

134
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: five fifty. But here are your choices. Is he going

135
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: to throw twenty or more touchdown passes? Is he going

136
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: to have a completion percentage of fifty eight percent or more?

137
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: Will he rush for less than four hundred yards or

138
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: will he throw for more than thirty seven hundred passing yards?

139
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: And now, we were pretty strategic in how we chose these.

140
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: First of all, we didn't want to make it easy

141
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: for you. Second, we wanted to keep the numbers realistic.

142
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: We didn't want to say he's going to throw for

143
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: a four thousand yards season. I think that would be

144
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: a tremendous job from what was a two thousand yard

145
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: passing season last year, albeit in only eleven starts. So

146
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: we tried to put these numbers in a realistic range

147
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: to kind of really make you think about what you

148
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: believe is most likely to happen. And right now, leading

149
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: the way is throwing twenty plus touchdown passes. Now, we

150
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: had ten last year, and that was in eleven starts.

151
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: If you project that over a sixteen game season last year,

152
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: he would have had a little over fourteen, about fourteen

153
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: and a half. So that jump. I can understand why

154
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: a lot of fans are voting there because they see

155
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: that probably is the most easily attainable of the four

156
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,599
Speaker 1: that we've listed. The reason I wanted to throw a

157
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: twist in there with the rushing yards is because all

158
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: we've heard this spring is how Josh is going to

159
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: be more disciplined with when to take off and run,

160
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: when to get out of bounds and maybe sacrifice an

161
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: extra two or three yards for the sake of taking

162
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: one less hit and living for another down. And I

163
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: think we also know that I think he's reading defense

164
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: is better based on what we saw from him in

165
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: the spring. Granted, he sees the Bills defense every day

166
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,599
Speaker 1: and probably knows that better than any other, but the

167
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: fact remains that he has a firmer grasp of the

168
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: offensive system. I think he reads coverage is better and

169
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: has improved in that area, and so the need to

170
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: maybe take off and run, which he did at times

171
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: when he was confused. I think we've all seen him

172
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: talk about how scattershot he was in his first career

173
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: start against the LA Chargers last year here at home,

174
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: when he said he was he was freaking out back

175
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: there for lack of a better term, or to not

176
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: use the term he actually used in an interview with

177
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: Chris Simms. So I'm wondering. And he ran for six

178
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: hundred and forty six eighty yards last six and eighty

179
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: one yards last year, and you know they want to

180
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: knock that number down, but they don't want to completely

181
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: dismiss his ability to use his legs, whether you put

182
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: it into the scheme in the form of a quarterback

183
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: draw or do something else schematically to get him out

184
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: on the move with bootlegs and such. But I wonder

185
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: if he's going to come close to the six and

186
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: eighty one yards now again, those six and eighty one yards,

187
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 1: we're only in eleven starts, So if you go over

188
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: sixteen games, does he get close to that number again,

189
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: because he's got five more starts, you know, God forbid

190
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: avoiding injury, of course, or does he become such does

191
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: he make such a leap as a pocket passer that

192
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: he's in a state where he doesn't need to take

193
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 1: off and run because he's reading defenses so well that

194
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to use his legs to make plays

195
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: for this offense. His receiving corps is doing its job.

196
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 1: And then you come to those other stats. Does he

197
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: hit thirty seven hundred yards passing? So here's the thing.

198
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: I know, thirty seven hundred yards might look like a

199
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: big number for Josh when you consider the fact that

200
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: he only threw for barely over two thousand last season,

201
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: But again, that's in eleven starts. So again, projecting over

202
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: sixteen games his rookie year last year, if he played

203
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: all sixteen, it would have projected out to just over

204
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: three thousand yards passing. So if he gets through this

205
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: whole twenty nineteen season, you know, unscathed in terms of injury.

206
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 1: I don't think thirty seven hundred yards is unrealistic. I

207
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: don't think it's something that seems lofty and unattainable by

208
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: any means. So I think a lot of these choices

209
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: are relatively realistic for him, because that might even be

210
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: my second question for anyone that calls in at eight

211
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: oh three oh five fifty or one eight eight eight

212
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty, because if you believe one

213
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: of these is the most easily attainable of the four,

214
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: my next question is probably going to be how attainable

215
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: do you think they all are? Because you know, you

216
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: look at his completion percentage too, Yes, it was down

217
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: around fifty two percent. I think we can all agree

218
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: that the talent he had in his receiving corps is

219
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: considerably less than what it is now, but it's largely

220
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: unproven as a group together, so I think it's hard

221
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: to anticipate exactly what you're going to get there. But

222
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: I think just by knowing there's an upgrade in terms

223
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: of collective talent at the receiver position. You combine that

224
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: with the fact that Josh improved his ball location, at

225
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: least for me, pretty noticeably in the spring practices, and

226
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: you know, granted it's not real guys coming to rip

227
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: your head off pass rush kind of football. You know,

228
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: fifty two percent last year in terms of completion percentage, Again,

229
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: we projected that out also it would have came out

230
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: to about right around fifty three percent for sixteen games

231
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: because he was on the ascent as he was playing,

232
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: and as the season went on in terms of completing passes,

233
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 1: you're only going up five percent in terms of completion percentage.

234
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: And knowing that he's going to have guys like Cole

235
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 1: Beasley and Zay Jones work in some of those short

236
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: to intermediate areas, two guys who are pretty precise route runners.

237
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: Zay Jones showed to me an improved ability to get

238
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: separation even in man coverage. And I think we all

239
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: know Cole Beasley's track record, So I look at thirty

240
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: seven hundred yards and I see that just as easily

241
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: attainable as twenty plus touchdown passes. So I know there

242
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: are some ifs with these choices, because hey, maybe a

243
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: lot of this is going to be dependent on an

244
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,719
Speaker 1: offensive line is setting up an effective pocket, because if

245
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: that becomes a chore, especially in the early going this year,

246
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: well then that rushing yardage total maybe back up where

247
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 1: we saw it at the end of last season. So

248
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: there are a lot of ifs. And then's that factor

249
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: into this Twitter poll today in terms of the equation.

250
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: But I think they're all interesting choices, and I'm just

251
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: curious if fans believe in some way that maybe even

252
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: all four of those are attainable for Josh all in

253
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen season. We'll go to the tweet sheet

254
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: early here because people have been firing some comments in

255
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: before the show even started. So thanks for doing that,

256
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: and feel free to do that yourself if you want to. Otherwise,

257
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: just call in, be happy to talk to him. But

258
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: this one from Josh Allen shorts there's no way he

259
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: doesn't hit twenty plus touchdowns unless he gets injured and

260
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: misses a few games. Yeah, I mean, should we have

261
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: up the number? Perhaps, maybe we should have put twenty

262
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: five up there. Maybe that would have given people a

263
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: little bit more pause, because he did only throw ten

264
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: last year, and by the way that would have projected out,

265
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: I think I said to fourteen and a half, so

266
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: going up six touchdowns doesn't seem like a lot. But

267
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: here's the thing we also have to consider. When they

268
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: get near the goal line. I think Josh is a

269
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: weapon there with his legs, whether you're talking quarterback draw

270
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: or something breaks down and he rolls out and then

271
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: all of a sudden there's a there's a window for

272
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: him to run through and he can get to the

273
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: goal line. I mean, we saw that last year and

274
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: awful lot. I mean he had eight rushing touchdowns to

275
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: lead the team. Eight rushing touchdowns. So I think to

276
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: just automatically assume he's gonna have twenty two touchdowns, you know,

277
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: because they're gonna be in the red zone more, the

278
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: offense is going to be more productive. I don't think

279
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: we can rule out the fact that this is a

280
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: guy who's also a big, strong kid who can tuck

281
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: it and run and bounce off people and get in

282
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: the end zone. Remember the running made in the Jacksonville

283
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: game here last year. What did he do? He stiff

284
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: armed a defensive end I think, knocked over a linebacker

285
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: and then got to the goal line and into the

286
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: end zone. In Minnesota, he outraced a linebacker and I

287
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: want to say a safety to get to the pylon

288
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. So I mean twenty plus touchdowns. Absolutely,

289
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: I do think it's attainable. But I wonder if it

290
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: gets mitigated at all by the times when he tucks

291
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: and runs and scores the football himself. That's going to

292
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: be an interesting balance to witness going into this twenty

293
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: nineteen season, especially in the early going when maybe this

294
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: offensive line is kind of feeling its way as a

295
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: new quintet upfront. Maybe everything isn't completely in sync, and

296
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: maybe the protection and the pocket consistency isn't completely there

297
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: all the time, and maybe he does have to improvise

298
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: a little bit more and run around, maybe more than

299
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: the coaching staff would like or even he would like.

300
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: So I think he's obviously shown that he's capable of

301
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: doing that, as evidenced by his figures last season on

302
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: the ground. I just wonder if it comes at the

303
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: expense of the total number of touchdown passes that he throws.

304
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: Another one from the tweet sheet here, This one is

305
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: from Eric. I don't want him to rush so much anymore.

306
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: That would be an offensive failure and he'll end up hurt.

307
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: Pass completion would show an improvement in his passing game

308
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: and in the receiving corps. So in a way, it

309
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: sounds here like Eric is choosing rushing for less than

310
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 1: eight four hundred yards and completion percentage of fifty eight

311
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 1: percent or higher. You're kind of picking two in one there.

312
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: At least from what I can see. Eric. And here's

313
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: the thing. You look at him rushing less, and there

314
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 1: are obvious reasons why everyone wants that to happen. They

315
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: don't want Josh taking hits because they want him to

316
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: play sixteen games. Totally get it. But if he runs

317
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: at times and he's effective, I don't know if we

318
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: call it an offensive failure, that seems a little strong.

319
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: If he's making positive plays and you know this offense

320
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: is staying on the field, they're finishing drives because I

321
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: don't know, on a third and four when the pocket

322
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: broke down, the guy ran for eight to ten yards

323
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 1: kept a drive alive. I'm not going to sneeze at

324
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: that or scoff at it and say, Josh, stay in

325
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: the pocket. We can't be having you do that. And

326
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: all indications too from offensive coordinator Brian Dabele have been

327
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 1: that we want to continue to use his legs as

328
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: an asset. I just get the sense that it's going

329
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: to be more a part of how the offense is

330
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 1: drawn up and less a part of improvisation. Now that's

331
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: not to say that when the play breaks down they're

332
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: not going to give him the green light to improvise

333
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: and go make something happen with his legs. But I

334
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: kind of get the sense that Brian Dabele and his

335
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: offensive staff say, look, we've got a quarterback who is

336
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: an absolute terror with his legs. I mean, we saw

337
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: those Miami Dolphins last year at Kiko Alonso spinning like

338
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,479
Speaker 1: a top out there. He couldn't keep up with him,

339
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: and he single handedly put the team on his back

340
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: in that game down in Miami last year and almost

341
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: won it by himself essentially, were it not for a

342
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: drop near the end zone by Charles Clay at the

343
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: end of the game. So I think the value that

344
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 1: his legs give to this offense, which is number one,

345
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: a dose of unpredictability, Number two an extra thing, an

346
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: extra element that opponents have to game plan for. And

347
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: then number three, it's a way to keep the offense

348
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: on the field. So for all of those reasons and

349
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 1: probably even more, I don't think you turn away from

350
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: something that can work that well at the proper time.

351
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: As long as you trust Josh to be disciplined enough

352
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: to either a get out of bounds or be slid

353
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: to avoid unnecessary hits, well then I think you're fine.

354
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: The question is does it come at the expense of

355
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,360
Speaker 1: production that's going to be less than four hundred yards.

356
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: I thought that was a good number because I think

357
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: that's right in the wheelhouse of where he's probably going

358
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: to be come the end of the season. So is

359
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: he under that or is he over that? I just

360
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: kind of thought it was a good over under thought

361
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: it would make you guys think a little bit. But

362
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 1: right now, more than half of the respondents are leaning

363
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 1: heavily towards the touchdown passes, and I think it's due

364
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: in part to the fact that they know Josh has

365
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: to throw more than twenty touchdown passes if this team's

366
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: going to be successful, especially in the passing game. But

367
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: coming in second there, twenty one percent say throw more

368
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: than thirty seven hundred yards and then fifty eight percent.

369
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 1: Completion percentage is third with twenty percent. Now, I was

370
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 1: very interested to see where people stood on the completion

371
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: percentage argument, because I know that doesn't look like a

372
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: big leap going up to fifty eight percent, And with

373
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: the upgrade in the receiver corps, most people would say, look,

374
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: you got guys that can catch the ball better, they

375
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: should get more separation and be open more often. That

376
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: should make for easier throws. Josh Allen's ball placement has

377
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: been better in the spring, so that should be something

378
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: that is attainable. I didn't want to go as far

379
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: as sixty percent because that seemed like, you know, maybe,

380
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 1: but there's there are a lot of ifs there with

381
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: the receiving corps. You know, how does it come together,

382
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: what's the pecking order, Who's getting the most playing time,

383
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: who's getting the most targets, who's getting the most play

384
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 1: calls drawn up for them as the primary read These

385
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: are all things that we don't know. And combine that

386
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: with the fact that really this is a receiving core

387
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 1: that doesn't truly have what you would call a typical

388
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 1: number one wide out. I think you have a lot

389
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: of quality wide outs on the roster, but do you

390
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: have a guy that you can definitively say we're going

391
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: to this guy eight to twelve times every Sunday. I

392
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: don't think you, not, at least not right now. So

393
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,719
Speaker 1: with that in mind, I think there are a lot

394
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: of ifs to the receiving corps in terms of how

395
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: it pertains to Josh's completion percentage. Now during the spring

396
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: we saw a ton, I mean a ton of swing

397
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: passes out of the backfield. That is something that would

398
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: obviously help Josh's completion percentage because it's an high percentage throw,

399
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: it's an easy catch to make, and it's you know,

400
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: it's designed to get the backs in space obviously, especially

401
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: when you're dealing with a make your miss type player

402
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: like Lashawn McCoy or Devin Singletary. So it all makes sense.

403
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: I just wonder where it leaves his completion percentage at

404
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: the end of the day. And I wonder, I openly

405
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: wonder if sixty percent is a reachable number for him.

406
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: So we tried to be a little more conservative with

407
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: that and we went with fifty eight percent. But back

408
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: to the tweet sheet and this one from Tiffany. She said,

409
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: in my opinion, with the playmakers they have added on offense,

410
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: Brown Knocks and Beasley, Josh should surpass twenty plus touchdowns

411
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: easily this upcoming season. He may hit all the categories

412
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: on today's poll. To be honest, I feel he's going

413
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: to take his game in the team to the next

414
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: level this season. And thanks for chiming in on that, Tiffany,

415
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: because you read my mind. Because that's going to be

416
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: my question for these people that do call in at

417
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 1: eight oh three, five fifty one, eight eight eight five

418
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: fifty two, five fifty, because whilst while you're obviously picking

419
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: the one that you think is easy is for him

420
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: to reach, I want to know if you really think

421
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: all four of these are realistic for Josh. I don't

422
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: think we've set the bar unreasonably high here for him,

423
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: while also taking into account that you don't necessarily make

424
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: leaps and bounds in just your second season. You don't

425
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: improve by leaps and bounds all the time. So certainly

426
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: I think every last one of us would take that.

427
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: But how realistic is that to go and make a

428
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: sizeable jump in every single category gory. I think that's

429
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,239
Speaker 1: the thing to think about here. And as much as

430
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,479
Speaker 1: I believe his touchdown passes are going to go up

431
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: because I think he's going to be throwing more, because

432
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be a better pocket passer,

433
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: reading things better, we also have to remember that this

434
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: is a physically gifted quarterback who can make rare plays,

435
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: and there's going to be a risk reward element that

436
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 1: Josh is going to have to balance here with respect

437
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: to time and score situation in the game and managing

438
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 1: that risk reward element as the trigger man of the offense.

439
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: You know, there are easy decisions, like when you're up

440
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: fourteen with four minutes left in a game, you're not

441
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: going to stick the ball in a tight window on

442
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 1: your own half of the field. You're just not going

443
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: to because it's an unnecessary risk to take when you're

444
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 1: ahead by that much on the scoreboard and it's late

445
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: in the game. But there's gonna be other times where

446
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 1: he's gonna be in position where he's got to make

447
00:24:58,240 --> 00:24:59,719
Speaker 1: a play to keep his team on the field, when

448
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: they're down nine with seven minutes to go in a game,

449
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: and he's going to have to maybe take a chance

450
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: or take higher risk than he might normally in a

451
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: different situation, or when the game is still very much

452
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: in the balance. And I actually talked to him about

453
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 1: that as well, and he said, yeah, that is an

454
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 1: important step that I have to take this year. He said,

455
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: last year, I was just trying to do everything I

456
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: could to help the team win. And I think he

457
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: felt a lot of that on his shoulders, knowing that

458
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: there wasn't a bevy a bounty of talent in the

459
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: wide receiving corps, and that the run game was struggling

460
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: because the offensive line was having trouble winning at the

461
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. So I think he put a lot

462
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: of that on himself, took a lot of chances, and

463
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: I think that's why we saw an upside down number

464
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: when it came to touchdown to interception ratio, with ten

465
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: touchdowns in twelve interceptions, which by the way, would have

466
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: projected out over sixteen games to fourteen and a half

467
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: touchdowns and almost seventeen and a half picks. While that

468
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 1: touchdown total is probably going to go up this year

469
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: and hopefully be somewhere around twenty five maybe more, I

470
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: think we also have to prepare ourselves for the fact

471
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 1: that if he is throwing that much more, there are

472
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: going to be some more giveaways too in the form

473
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: of interception. So where that number finishes is going to

474
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: be pretty important too, especially knowing that the defense has

475
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: made it a major point of emphasis to get more takeaways,

476
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: more in line with where they were back in twenty

477
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: seventeen than last year, when the takeaway total kind of

478
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: dried up a little bit for a stretch there during

479
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: the middle to later portions of the season, and they

480
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: didn't get nearly as many as they did back in

481
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, which was a critical component to why the

482
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: Bills were still in the playoff hunt at the very

483
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: end of the twenty seventeen campaign. Tweet sheet is presented

484
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of the Buffalo Bills.

485
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: We've got one here from Andrew, who says I would

486
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: like to see Josh throw the ball more. With the

487
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: upgrade and offensive weapons, he has no excuses not to

488
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 1: throw it. But the question still remains, will the new

489
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: offensive line be better than last season? I hope so,

490
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: and I think we all hope that yes. And the

491
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: most concerning thing is it's the fear of the unknown.

492
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: Murf and I were talking about this on the show

493
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 1: last week. The fear of the unknown is we don't

494
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: even know who the five upfront are going to be,

495
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: let alone what they're capable of as a unit. So

496
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: the first step we've got to get to is who's

497
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: going to earn those starting jobs with the wide open

498
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: ones being left guard, right guard, and right tackle. Then

499
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: the next question is, once you have those five, how

500
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: do they look? How is the blend working. I mean,

501
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: do they work off one another, do they look to

502
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: be in sync? Is there a lot of healthy nonverbal

503
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: communication that works between these guys. Are they executing combination

504
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: assignments effectively? Are they equally good, you know, run blocking

505
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: as they are pass blocking, because all of that is

506
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: going to impact Josh. I mean, I agree with you Andrew,

507
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: there's an upgrade and offensive weapons. He should throw it more,

508
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 1: especially with a better handle on the offense. But at

509
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: the same time, yes, you've got to get that offensive

510
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: line rolling and rolling in the right way. If Josh

511
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: is going to reach any of these figures that we've

512
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: laid out in the Twitter poll, join us here eight

513
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 1: oh three five fifty one eight eight five fifty two,

514
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: five fifty Let us know what you think is the

515
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: most attainable of these passing slash rushing figures for Josh

516
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 1: Allen as he gets ready for the twenty nineteen campaign,

517
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: Or hit us up on the tweet sheet. We're happy

518
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: to take your comments there as well. We're gonna take

519
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: a break, but when we come back, we're gonna listen in.

520
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: So some of what Josh Allen had to say the

521
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: last time he was on this very show on One

522
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: Bills Live. So it is One Bills Live from One

523
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive. Chris Brown with you here on a Monday.

524
00:28:53,080 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio Monday. And we decided, with

525
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen being the subject of our Twitter poll today

526
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,239
Speaker 1: in terms of what is attainable for him in year

527
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: or two of his career as we get set for

528
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen season, we'd also let you hear from

529
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. So we appeared on this program with Murph

530
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: and myself just a little while ago as spring practices

531
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: we're wrapping up, So let's listen in now to Josh

532
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: Allen with Murph and myself. Josh Allen, happy to have

533
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: you here, but I think to be thanks for having me.

534
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: You like that we're making the offensive mind that yeah,

535
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, We've had a lot of cool different

536
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: pieces now to play with and super happy with how

537
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: we're kind of vibing as a team right now in

538
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: the locker room. You know a lot of stuff going in,

539
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of different minds trying to catch on.

540
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: But you know, we're out there competing every day against

541
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: our defense, trying to make each other better. In the

542
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: quarterback room. Is your day different than most of these

543
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: guys here during OTA's Is there more meeting time or

544
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: film study or I wouldn't say that it's more. I

545
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: mean we're alloted the same amount of time. But as quarterbacks,

546
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: we're kind of going around. We're meeting with different groups.

547
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: You know, we're meeting with the ol line, We're meeting

548
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: with the running back group. We're meeting with receivers and

549
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: the tight ends. You know, so we're doing a lot

550
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: more together with them than maybe the wide receivers and

551
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: tight ends. Don't mean but it's all kind of collective,

552
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: collective agreement right now. We're all we're all trying to

553
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: go through the same things're goring to learn. Coach Table

554
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: was telling us last week when he talked to the

555
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: media that you know, he's throwing a lot at you

556
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: because he feels, you know, you can handle it. You know,

557
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: here in year two, you know the offense like the

558
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: back of your hand now. And he was talking about

559
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: how there have been a couple of instances where he's

560
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: just said here, you take it, go call it. Do

561
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: you sometimes stop for a second and say, man, there

562
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,479
Speaker 1: was no way I probably could have done that at

563
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: this time last year like just here's the keys, go

564
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: and now you're just in a position where coaches like

565
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: go do it. Oh absolutely, you know the difference from

566
00:30:58,360 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: this year to last year. I mean obviously having the

567
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: experience under my belt being in the same system now

568
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: for over a year. But you know when he did that,

569
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's tough. You know, I don't envy offensive coordinators.

570
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: It's a tough to call plays and think of everything

571
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,239
Speaker 1: that you have on your call sheet and look at

572
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: the down distance and situationally like what you want to call.

573
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: You know, as a quarterback, you know, it's tough to

574
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: kind of do that and engage what you want to do.

575
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: But what overrides it is what the team needs at

576
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: the time. So, um, still trying to get on that

577
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: same level with Daves and you know, he's been trusting

578
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: me a lot with things like that. It's been awesome. Um,

579
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: I really appreciate and a lot of the type of

580
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: relationship that we have right now, and it's only going

581
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: to continue to grow and there will be levels of

582
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: that too, I'm assuming Josh, because yeah, you're doing it

583
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: in the practice setting, you're trying it on how does

584
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: this fit kind of thing, what do I want to

585
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: use and this down and distance and that. But you

586
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: don't really have all the moving parts on the other

587
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: side of the ball yet either. Now, naturally, you'll be

588
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: prepped for it, you know, you'll be doing all your

589
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: film study during the week for a real opponent. But

590
00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: that'll be another step in that process. If the time

591
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: comes where coach says, hey, run this two minute or

592
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: whatever comes up in the regular season, right, I mean,

593
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: yeah's different stages to it. Yeah, And like you said,

594
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's in the game or in practice.

595
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: You know, we communicate on our little telecope, right if

596
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: that goes down in the game, you know, he's got

597
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: to be able to trust me that I feel like

598
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: I know what I can call, right, And so that's

599
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: kind of why we're doing this right now, to develop

600
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: that just in case something like that happens. But your

601
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: go at this time. You're not just a rookie. You

602
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: were also in a three way competition for playing time. Yeah,

603
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: it's different than what you're doing now, right. Yeah, absolutely,

604
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: if it feels really good. You know, um, I've saly

605
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: having Matt and Tyree with with us here and they've

606
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: been awesome. You know, Matt, like I said, helped me

607
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: out so much last year, and he's going to continue

608
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,719
Speaker 1: to do so this year. And bringing in the young

609
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: guy like Tyree, who have spent a lot of time

610
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: with and you know, how he's prepared and how he

611
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: practices every day. It really kind of surprised me how

612
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: how fast he's picked up things. You know, he's a

613
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: super smart kid. That he's throwing the ball really well

614
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: right now. I'm super happy that he's with us. You

615
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: A lot has been made of the offensive on Heck,

616
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: we're still talking about it today here with this Twitter

617
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: poll and it. You know, everybody's kind of focused on

618
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: how each of these guys are trying to learn each

619
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: other and how to work off of one another, whether

620
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: you know, how we're going to do this combo block

621
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: or whatever it might be. But I think what kind

622
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: of goes by the board is how they got to

623
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: kind of be on the same page with you too.

624
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: So maybe just explain for the fans what your role

625
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: is in helping that blend come together up front in

626
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: front of you, Like your things you do that can

627
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: help them, you know, whether it's your cadence or getting

628
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: used to your cadence and that kind of stuff. Like well,

629
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: I think it goes back to the communication aspect, you know,

630
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: making sure that we clearly identify Mike if we're in

631
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: a past protection and know what our roles are backside

632
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: if we're going to be hot, and I have to

633
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: know that and really that relay that to our our receivers.

634
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: So you know, it starts up front. It starts with

635
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,959
Speaker 1: those five old linement and uh, you know, we've been

636
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: kind of piecing together a few different people in front

637
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: different ways, and you know, we got a lot of

638
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: really good due a lot of really good football players

639
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: on this team right now, and I'm super excited to

640
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: see how this plays out. But as far as you know,

641
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: meshing and gelling with all these guys, um, you know,

642
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: I couldn't have asked for, you know, a better situation

643
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: with quarterback Josh Allen. They on our Twitter poll obviously

644
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: remaking the offensive line is the number one vote getter,

645
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: and I mentioned this to Chris Brown, Josh, I think

646
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: the changes in the coaching staff are a little bit

647
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: overlooked and undervalued when people look at the twenty nineteen

648
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills new new offensive line coach, new receivers coach

649
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: and you've got Ken Dorsey as a quarterbacks coach now

650
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: cars has been awesome. Oh my god. Yeah, what do

651
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: you find with him? How do you like work with him?

652
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: And I mean, so he's super energetic and he's he's

653
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: as competitive as they come. You know, he's just like us,

654
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,720
Speaker 1: and he's a little younger, so he kind of gets

655
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: our generation, so to say. So to have him with

656
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: us and the types of things that we talked about, Um,

657
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: you know, he's been an NFL quarterback before he's seen it.

658
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: He's been you know, back there when bullets are firing,

659
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: you know, left and right, and he's been in those

660
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: types of situation. He's been with Da like like we

661
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: see on the screen here, and just the type of

662
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,919
Speaker 1: communication that we have, the things that he's already taught

663
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: me with what defenses are trying to do in certain

664
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: players and coverages, how they can't get beaten, what's a

665
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: good option, and why we're gonna lert this backside post

666
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: because you know, he's really good with all that stuff.

667
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: So it's helped me out a lot already. When he

668
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: got hired, I called DA to do a story on

669
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: you know what fans can expect from coach Dorsey, you

670
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: know now that he's the quarterbacks coach here and how

671
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: he can help you and stuff like that. And he said,

672
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: I think he just added when he was in Carolina

673
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: as a coach, he said, I think he just added

674
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: new ways for Cam to learn. The way that he

675
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: runs the meetings. You don't just sit in there listening

676
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: to him preach about a play or a scheme. It's

677
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: very player involved. So is that like a Q and

678
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: a kind of quiz thing or what does he do

679
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: with you to kind of keep you engaged and make

680
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: you an active part of the process instead of just

681
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: sitting in a chair and listening to him point things

682
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: out on him. Well, I can't give all all of

683
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: the secrets away, but like he said, he's very interactive

684
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: with us and asking us question, you know, every so often,

685
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: making sure that we get it. You know, he's got

686
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 1: a bunch of different clips that he brings up when

687
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: you know, presents a play on the board. So you know,

688
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: he brought in a separate projector in our room. Oh

689
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 1: so you had two goings. We had two projectors goings.

690
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: So it's like left right, left right. Being able to

691
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: see the play and then actually getting see the play

692
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: being ran side by side. So that's been really helpful

693
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: to him. So like true xs and os over here,

694
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: but then the real deal over here, and Joe's going, yeah, hey,

695
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: you mentioned some injuries on offense, and in particular, you're

696
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: down a couple of tight ends. So you get a

697
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 1: chance to see some of the young guys. Tell us

698
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: what you've seen and what you like maybe about Dawson

699
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: and two of the young guys. I mean Dawson and uh,

700
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: you know Tommy, super awesome guys, you know, super smart.

701
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: They're doing things the right way. They're continuing to learn,

702
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: you know, Um, they're stepping in obviously it's kind of

703
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: a big role. And you know they're one and two

704
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 1: right now, Um, guys at the F position. So to

705
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: see how that they've evolved already. You know, Dawson super athletic,

706
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: he can run. He can run, I'll tell you what.

707
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: But the two go well together, you know. Um, they

708
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: ran a route in practice and I called him in

709
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: to the quarterback room and they came and they sat

710
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 1: there and I told them what I saw and just

711
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 1: gave them a little tip and they picked it up

712
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: right away and they're like, all right, we got it.

713
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: So you know, next time we run it in practice,

714
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: it's it's already down. You did that same thing with

715
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 1: Zay at the practice that was open to the media

716
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: the other day. He came over to You're like, hey, hey,

717
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: come on over to Then I asked Ay after practice,

718
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: you know what that interaction was like, and he's like

719
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: he was, you know, he just thought there was a

720
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: better way I could run the route to better read

721
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: so Josh could better read my body language, you know

722
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: when I'm coming out, he said. And I got no

723
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: problem with that because he said, it's all about making

724
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,439
Speaker 1: this offense more efficient. And I think that sometimes goes

725
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 1: by the board with fans too, like, yeah, you want

726
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: a quarterback that's in control, but it's all for the

727
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: good of the operation of what you guys are trying

728
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: to execute everywhere. I mean, so you so you go

729
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: there and you say, let's do this. I mean, what's

730
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: the general feedback. Everybody seems to be pretty open because

731
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: they know what the ultimate goal is. Yeah, we want

732
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 1: to win football games. You know, whether we passed for

733
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:03,439
Speaker 1: a bunch of yards, whether we run for a bunch

734
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: of yards. However, it gets done. We want to win

735
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: football games. So to have that type of relationship where

736
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: I can go up to day and he can tell

737
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: me things and I can you know, listen to what

738
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: he's saying and go back on the field and run

739
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: it and do it effectively. You know, that's just gonna

740
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: make it a little more smooth. You know, there's a

741
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 1: lot of things going on in a football game. You know,

742
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: those guys on the other side of the ball get

743
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: paid too, So, um, when we can start thinking the

744
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 1: same and understanding body language and eye control and when

745
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: I should put the ball on his outside shoulder instead

746
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: of his inside shoulder and why I'm doing that, and um,

747
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,240
Speaker 1: you know, the constant communication that the offensive line has together.

748
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: It all plays in a role. So there's a lot

749
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 1: of things that go into football, and it's you know,

750
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 1: it's really fun. May before let you go. It is offseason.

751
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: And I know that you spent a little time over

752
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,399
Speaker 1: the holiday weekend in Europe right at the Grand Prix.

00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: I did Monaco money, yeah, Monico, Yeah, Yeah, it was

754
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: really cool. It's kind of like a last minute deal.

755
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: I wasn't I'm I'm an fan. Yeah, absolutely, How fast

756
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 1: the cars go and how loud they are. It gives

757
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 1: you a little bit of an adrenaline rush just watching it.

758
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: Do you make your way around the course and look

759
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: at it from different angles or how do you how

760
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 1: do you want? I actually got I got a little spoil.

761

Speaker 1: I got to get in a car and kind of

Speaker 1: you've accomplished the spring and as you know, the regular season.

771
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: It is where it matters, and it's not too far away,

772
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: is it really? It's not that it's coming fast? Yeah, thanks, Jeh,

773
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: thank you. Yes, all right, that's John Murphy and yours

774
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: truly with Josh Allen on his last appearance here on

775
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live figure. We just paint the picture for

776
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: you a little bit more about his thoughts from the spring,

777
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: as he's the focus of our Twitter poll today, which

778
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: is basically what will Josh Allen most likely do in

779
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: his second NFL season? The choices are there for you,

780
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 1: including rushing and passing, as well as completion percentage. So

781
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,720
Speaker 1: weigh in on what you think he is most likely

782
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: to do and let me know also, whether it's on

783
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet or with a phone call at eight

784
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 1: three five fifty, whether you think all four of these

785
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: things are attainable for Josh. Right now, twenty plus touchdown

786
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: passes is leading the way by a wide margin, but

787
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: there are other choices there, and I wonder what you

788
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: think about him doing all four and making it a

789
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: clean sweep. Eight o three oh five fifty one eight

790
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty. We break now,

791
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 1: but I'm back in a little bit here on Buffalo

792
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,399
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. It's One Bills Live from One Bill's Drive.

793
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: Welcome back to one Bills Live here at One Bill's Drive.

794
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 1: Chris Brown with you as everybody else seems to be

795
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 1: on vacation or taking the day off on a Monday

796
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 1: after Father's Day, and we're talking about Bill's stuff, obviously,

797
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: as I'm taking any and all questions you have about

798
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: the roster, the coaching staff, whatever you want. You can

799
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: either tweet them into our tweet sheet, which is brought

800
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,919
Speaker 1: to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, or you can send

801
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 1: them directly to my own Twitter account at Chris Brown Bills,

802
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: which some of you are doing already. So I'll get

803
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: to a couple of those here and now. First one

804
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 1: coming from Mike l. My question is how do the

805
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: new additions to the coaching staff look to you so far?

806
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: Thanks Mike. I'll say this. You know, obviously a lot

807
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: of the changes to the coaching staff happened on the

808
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,399
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball. Ken Dorsey a quarterbacks coach,

809
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: Chad Hall promoted to receiver's coach, and Bobby Johnson the

810
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: new online coach. And really, you know, it's kind of

811
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: hard to see a lot of what coaches do and

812
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: do not do in the regular season, but this timing year,

813
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 1: in the spring, you know, with these spring practices that

814
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: just wrapped up, you can see a lot of the

815
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: on field interaction between coaches and players. And the thing

816
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 1: that I noticed, maybe more than anything else, is the

817
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: willingness to have open lines of communication at all times,

818
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: sometimes between each play that they run during team segments

819
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: of practice. You know, whether it's Josh getting his five

820
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: or six snaps in and then coming and talking to

821
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey after a series in team or after a

822
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: period of individual drills. Maybe there's a lineman popping out

823
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: and asking coach Johnson a question. And the same thing,

824
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 1: especially where the receiver turnover is every play where they

825
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 1: roll new guys in. You know, in case somebody, you know,

826
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,800
Speaker 1: somebody runs a forty yard deep route or catches a

827
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: pass and takes it for forty yards, he's probably coming

828
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: out for that next play. Especially in the practice setting,

829
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 1: those guys roll out and sometimes they'll be you know,

830
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 1: in the year of Chad Hall also asking you know,

831
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: did I make that site adjust properly? Was I hot

832
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: on that? I wasn't sure? Whatever it might be, there

833
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: just seems to be a healthy give and take between

834
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: coach and player. And coach McDermott, I've talked to him

835
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: about this too. He likes to make that line because

836
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 1: there always is a line between coaches and players on

837
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: any NFL football team or just about any pro sports team.

838
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: But coach makes a point of trying to make that

839
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 1: line as faint as possible and remind players we're all

840
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: in this thing together to achieve a consistent winning formula.

841
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: And you do that by having open lines of communication,

842
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 1: not only player to player, but coached a player as well.

843
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 1: And so I think he's effectively fostered that with the

844
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: new additions to his staff. You just heard Josh talking

845
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 1: in that interview we ran last segment about how Ken

846
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 1: Dorsey really kind of helps with the learning curve in

847
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 1: terms of here's the play in terms of x's and

848
00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: o's on one projector you know, drawn up up literally,

849
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: and then on the other side he has a live

850
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: version of that play on tape. It may not be

851
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 1: the Bills, it may be another team that effectively ran

852
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: the play that he's got drawn up on paper on

853
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: the other side of the screen, but he feels that

854
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 1: that helps translate the play because you're seeing it live

855
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 1: in action, and it improves the look because, yeah, you

856
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,800
Speaker 1: can look at x's and o's on a piece of paper,

857
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 1: but when you can take it over here and show

858
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: them the real look with people moving on a field,

859
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: I think it helps translate the play all the better

860
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,720
Speaker 1: for the quarterbacks eyes and for that matter, his brain

861
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: and I like what I like I said in that interview.

862
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 1: When I interviewed Derek Anderson after Ken Dorsey got hired,

863
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: you know, Anderson had yet to announce his retirement from

864
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: the Bills, and I talked to him on the phone,

865
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: just asking him what can we expect from Ken Dorsey

866
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: because he had been Derek Anderson's teammate for the better

867
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: part of four seasons in Cleveland and then was his

868
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:03,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks for a few years in Carolina. And he said,

869
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 1: he said, Ken and I are cut from the same cloth.

870
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 1: And that struck me too because knowing that, knowing that

871
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 1: now I'm calling him Ken Anderson the old Bengals quarterback,

872
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: Knowing that Derek Anderson is no longer on this roster

873
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 1: and tutoring or mentoring Josh Allen, you know, there might

874
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: be a little bit of concern as to what was

875
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,959
Speaker 1: lost there because I think we heard a countless number

876
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: of times last year from Josh himself what a benefit

877
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 1: that Derek Anderson was to his personal development in his

878
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 1: rookie season. And now that's gone, So how is that

879
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: going to be replaced? And I think Ken Dorsey, with

880
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 1: the way he goes about teaching and shepherding the quarterback

881
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 1: position from his role as quarterbacks coach is going to

882
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 1: sound a lot like how Derek Anderson kind of mentor,

883
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: and so I foresee a seamless transition there. As for

884
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 1: Bobby Johnson, he looks like he's universally accepted by the

885
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: offensive lineman and I guess to a certain extent, you

886
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: would say, well, they have to be. They don't have

887
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 1: a choice. He's their coach. They better do right by

888
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: him if they want to get on the field. And

889
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 1: that is all true, but I think there's a healthy

890
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 1: amount of respect. And the main reason why is even

891
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: though he was the assistant old line coach, he was

892
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 1: an instrumental part of the success of the Colts offensive

893
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 1: line last year. And if you remember, and maybe you don't,

894
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: so i'll fill you in. But two seasons ago, the

895
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: Colts offensive line was one of the worst in the league.

896
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: They gave up a ton of sacks. I think they

897
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: were in top three in sacks allowed in twenty seventeen,

898
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:46,399
Speaker 1: and they knew they had a lot to fix there

899
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 1: in one off season, especially knowing that Andrew Luck was

900
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: coming back and they could not afford to have him

901
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: get injured again. After spending over a year trying to

902
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 1: get his throwing shoulder back right again. And you know,

903
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 1: with additions like Nelson and Braden Smith, who I think

904
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: was their second or third round pick at Auburn, they

905
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: really fortified the interior of the line with talent, but

906
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 1: they still had to blend it all together, and Bobby

907
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: Johnson was a critical component of pulling that group together.

908
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 1: And when the season's over, I believe they gave up

909
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 1: the few as sacks in the NFL. I think they

910
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 1: only gave up about eighteen the entire season. So knowing

911
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,839
Speaker 1: that he's got that kind of a pelt on the wall,

912
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: I think he walked in here with built in casher

913
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: among the offensive linemen, and I see a healthy relationship

914
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 1: there as well. So that's probably kind of a long

915
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 1: winded answer. I him in touch on Heath farwell, but

916
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 1: farwell what he certainly brings his energy. We're not going

917
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: to see how he operates until probably we get to

918
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 1: the preseason because a lot of this stuff's at half speed.

919
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 1: They don't run it all the way through. There's obviously

920
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: no hitting, so it's hard to really know. But I

921
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: think it's encouraging to know that he's played the positions

922
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: in the positions on special teams in the league. Number one,

923
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: he's not far removed from a playing career, so he's young.

924
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,959
Speaker 1: He can relate to these young guys on that unit

925
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 1: and what he says goes, and they believe him because

926
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,800
Speaker 1: he's executed himself. He knows what works on the field,

927
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: especially in the modern day NFL, which I think is important.

928
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: So he's got people on board for what he wants

929
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 1: to implement. So all of those things are very encouraging.

930
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: One other question here, and this one is from Joseph Spinelli.

931
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 1: Does the loser of the Ford and Secky right tackle

932
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 1: competition compete for a starting guard position? How would that

933
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:38,240
Speaker 1: impact the overall old line evaluation slash timeline A good question,

934
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: but quite frankly, I think the guy that does not

935
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,479
Speaker 1: win the starting right tackle competition, which I do believe

936
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: is a two horse race between Tie and Seki and

937
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,720
Speaker 1: Cody Ford, I think that guy will be the swing tackle.

938
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: That's not to say they would never play guard, but

939
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 1: I think they have enough guard options, especially experienced ones,

940
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: where I don't foresee them taking the person who ends

941
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 1: up being the odd man out in the right tackle competition.

942
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 1: And then moving him to guard. I think that person

943
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: becomes the swing tackle or the third tackle for lack

944
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 1: of a better term. All right, we're at the top

945
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 1: of the hour here, so we will take a break.

946
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: But when we come back, we've got a former Bills

947
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 1: sixth round draft choice who carved out a nine year

948
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 1: career in the NFL, including his first four years here

949
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Do not cross the Moats. It's Arthur Moats

950

Speaker 1: five points last season for the Sharks in fifty three games,

957
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:02,320

00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 1: the Bills were awarded the waiver claim for tight end

966
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: Keith Towbridge. Towbridge was on Buffalo's practice squad for most

967

Speaker 1: of the twenty eighteen seasons, signed by the team originally

968
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:38,080

969
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:41,480

973
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: came as a result of his twenty eighteen arrests for

974
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:59,960

Speaker 1: a charge on the final day of the tournament, closing

981
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: with a sixty eight. It made him the first player

982
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:25,800
Speaker 1: to score in the sixties in all four rounds of

983
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:30,040

986
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 1: is Well. A former sixth round draft choice of the

987
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, played four seasons in Buffalo, rest of his

988
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 1: career in Pittsburgh with a cup of coffee in Arizona

989
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: last year. The James Madison product just announced his retirement

990
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 1: from the NFL. Last week, Arthur Moats joins us on

991
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 1: the program. Arthur, it's Chris Brown here in Buffalo. How

992
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: are you doing? Thanks for Joe Man. Hold On, we're

993
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:09,399
Speaker 1: trying to They turned down Arthur's volume. I believe because

994
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 1: I know we're connected to Arthur. Hold on a second, here,

995
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 1: do we have Arthur? Now? Do we have his volume up?

996
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 1: Can we hear him? Hold on? We're checking all right,

997
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:18,320
Speaker 1: We'll be with Arthur in just a second. We have

998
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:22,880
Speaker 1: technical difficulties. But for those that missed it, Arthur actually

999
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: announced his retirement just last week. He had signed a

1000
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 1: one year contract last offseason with Arizona and then suffered

1001
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:35,720
Speaker 1: a knee injury, got put on IR and the twenty

1002
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:39,479
Speaker 1: eighteen season, unfortunately for him, kind of quickly came and went.

1003
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 1: And you know, just last week he announced that he retired.

1004
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 1: So we want to talk to him about how retirements

1005
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,359
Speaker 1: treating him. We also want to talk to him about

1006
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 1: a lot. I mean, Arthur was a huge off the

1007
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 1: field community participant and activist for a lot of local causes.

1008
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 1: I know when he was here in Buffalo, big with

1009
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 1: the Play sixty program, and I know he did a

1010
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 1: lot of stuff in the community in Pittsburgh as well.

1011
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:10,960
Speaker 1: So we hope to get Arthur on here so we

1012
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 1: can talk to him. And I know he is a

1013
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 1: guy that also, um you know, is probably going to

1014
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:20,799
Speaker 1: be a part of the legends of the community up

1015
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo. U now that he's got a little

1016
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:25,759
Speaker 1: more free time on his hands, and Arthur, I think

1017
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:27,279
Speaker 1: we finally have you. Now, how are you doing, man?

1018
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:32,720
Speaker 1: That's called filling uh, filling time? Waiting for the technical

1019
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 1: difficulties to clear up? Did I do? Okay? Listen, how

1020
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,839
Speaker 1: are you doing man? Oh? Well, man, it's been too long.

1021
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:45,400
Speaker 1: Been I'm doing okay. So I obviously saw your announcement

1022
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 1: last week. I retweeted and all that stuff. So, uh,

1023
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's always a wonderful thing, especially when

1024
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:54,720
Speaker 1: you're your age and you can retire. I'm a little envious,

1025
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 1: to be quite frank with you, but it's I know

1026
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 1: it's only been a week, but how is retirement treating you? Man?

1027
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:03,960
Speaker 1: So far, so good. Still been busy, I feel like

1028
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:07,280
Speaker 1: doing some media stuff, obviously doing a lot of interviews

1029
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 1: and TV stuff, but have definitely enjoyed the family time,

1030
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 1: but also just being able to have that weight off

1031
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,479
Speaker 1: my shoulders as far as you know, am I gonna

1032
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 1: come back and I'm not gonna come back. Being able

1033
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,760
Speaker 1: to be transparent with my fans who supported me throughout

1034
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 1: my years, and just being able to ultimately, you know,

1035
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 1: give them an opportunity to celebrate me as well. So

1036
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 1: it's been an awesome experience for me. I'm loving every

1037
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,360
Speaker 1: second of it. And yeah, life is good. Yeah, because

1038
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 1: I know you've got an Instagram program with your sponsor

1039
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 1: and everything, and I saw on there you kind of

1040
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:42,320
Speaker 1: explained to the fans it was really it was the

1041
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: daily grind. And a lot of guys talk about this

1042
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 1: because even though NFL players get these long, well perceived

1043
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 1: long off seasons and in the grand scheme of things,

1044
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: the amount of time you do put in during those

1045
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 1: six seven months where you are going almost you know,

1046
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 1: sixteen seventeen eight hours a day and you're grinding on

1047
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 1: the body, and your body by the time you get

1048
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: to week seven or eight feels like garbage. I mean,

1049
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 1: that's that's what ultimately makes you make the decision you

1050
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 1: made right. Absolutely, people talk about the off season, but

1051
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 1: if you want to be successful in this career, if

1052
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 1: you want to have the longevity of you know, going

1053
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 1: longer than the average career span of two and a

1054
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 1: half years, it's a full time job. You don't really

1055
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 1: get an off season. I remember literally taking probably three

1056
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 1: weeks total in a year away from the game. Other

1057
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 1: than that, I'm still focused on my training, still focused

1058
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 1: on my nutrition, having to you know, you be on

1059
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,320
Speaker 1: vacation and still waking up at six seven in the

1060
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:42,879
Speaker 1: morning and get your workout in and all these other things.

1061
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: But then when you fast forward to the season, just

1062
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: to grind up the meetings, the film sessions, understanding what

1063
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:51,439
Speaker 1: it takes to still play at a high level. Those

1064
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 1: are the things that I didn't have a desire to

1065
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 1: do anymore. And I tell people, I'm like, if I

1066
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:58,280
Speaker 1: could just go out there on Sundays, not get touched,

1067
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 1: make big plays and well, you know, share for you wouldn't. Yeah,

1068
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:03,759
Speaker 1: I would play till I'm a hundred, But that's not

1069
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: how this game works. And for me, I love it

1070
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,320
Speaker 1: too much to ever want it cheated or shorted in

1071
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 1: any way, shape or form. And then, you know, just

1072
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,879
Speaker 1: with respect to last year, at this time, you sign

1073
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:17,359
Speaker 1: that one year contract with Arizona and then you get

1074
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:21,319
Speaker 1: that mcl injury. Was that about the time where you're like, man,

1075
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 1: I got to rehab this thing and try to get

1076
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:25,359
Speaker 1: back on the field. Is that when those thoughts start

1077
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:27,439
Speaker 1: creeping in your head, like, you know, man, I think

1078
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 1: enough is enough. So for me, honestly, I've been waring

1079
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 1: this decision to almost two years now, going into my

1080
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 1: last year in Pittsburgh, I was already considering it then.

1081
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 1: I was probably about sixty seventy percent leaning towards retirment

1082
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 1: at the time, and I remember having the conversation with

1083
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 1: my wife and we're just talking about how I still

1084
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 1: had a passion for the game, still wanted to play,

1085
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:51,680
Speaker 1: but I was still, like I said, starting to feel

1086
00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 1: tired of the grind. And we looked at what I

1087
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: was supposed to make that last season and we were like, well,

1088
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 1: you know what, that's still a ton of money. You

1089
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,799
Speaker 1: still you don't have a desire to play. Let's take

1090
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 1: it one year at a time. So we played that

1091
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:07,360
Speaker 1: last season in Pittsburgh, and then before we went to Arizona,

1092
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:10,239
Speaker 1: once again, I'm having any same at the same conversation,

1093
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,320
Speaker 1: and I'm like, man, I had offered to do some

1094
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 1: color commentary, and I was like, you know what, I

1095
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: really want to do this, but I still had that

1096
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 1: that little bit left of like I want to go

1097
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 1: out and still play. I still, you know, don't mind

1098
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 1: the grind as much right now. So I get the

1099
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:27,480
Speaker 1: car to go to Arizona, and while I'm out there,

1100
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 1: I remember saying to myself private the second with the

1101
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 1: training camp, like man, I don't want to do this.

1102
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 1: I'm tired of getting fatigue. I'm tired of just the grind.

1103
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: And like I said, it wasn't never a physical ability standpoint,

1104
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 1: because I still feel like from a physical standpoint, I

1105
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: can still play, but when we talk about what it

1106
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 1: takes to be successful in this league, when it takes

1107
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 1: for long tivity, that's the thing. I was just like,

1108
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 1: you know, I don't have that desire or that passion

1109
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 1: to do that anymore. And when I got hurt, it

1110
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 1: was almost like a blessing in disguise because it gave

1111
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 1: me the easy out in terms of, Okay, not having

1112
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 1: to worry about all right, when the season gets here.

1113
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 1: Now I have to just kind of fight through the

1114
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: whole situation and maybe be half hearted in that regard.

1115
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 1: I was like I heard it was just like, Hey,

1116
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 1: now I get to his rehab, I don't have to

1117
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: worry about the game. I was already communicating with my

1118
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 1: agent as well, as Hey, you don't have to you know,

1119
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 1: bar here and pursue these offers like you're good. And

1120
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 1: then literally early this off season's probably February, I told him,

1121
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 1: I was like, Hey, don't worry about fielding calls for me.

1122
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 1: I'm good, Like I'm going through the little process of

1123
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 1: just making sure there's one hundred persent what I want

1124
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 1: to do, but don't worry about getting any offers right

1125
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 1: now because I'm leaning heavily towards retiring and then ultimately,

1126
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 1: you know, earlier last week we officially made the decision

1127
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 1: and officially made the announced before you as well. Talking

1128
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 1: to Arthur Moots, former Bills and Steelers linebacker nine year

1129
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 1: career in the NFL, just announced his retirement last week.

1130
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 1: So Arthur, here in Buffalo, I think you can probably

1131
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 1: guess what you're best remembered for, which is ending Brett

1132
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 1: Farve's consecutive game straight at two hundred and ninety seven

1133
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 1: after you hit him in Minnesota. Is there anything My

1134
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:04,880
Speaker 1: question though, Arthur, is is there anything that stands out

1135
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 1: to you in your Pittsburgh career that you probably would

1136
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 1: put on a par with that that you think Steelers

1137
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 1: fans would remember you for. Ah Man, I guess to

1138
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 1: put them part of that, because I was a major play.

1139
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 1: But I think I had two situations. One would have

1140
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 1: been my first year here in Pittsburgh playing Monday Night

1141
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:27,680
Speaker 1: Football versus Baltimore Ravens. Obviously the huge rivalry and stuff

1142
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 1: like that that goes along with that matchup, but getting

1143
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,640
Speaker 1: a big sack on Joe Flaco in the game, then

1144
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 1: later in that game, causing a force fumblek that ultimately

1145
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 1: turned the course of the game and ultimately help us win.

1146
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 1: That was a huge play in my career as far

1147
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 1: as being a part of Pittsburgh. That set me on

1148
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 1: that trajectory to be successful, to be a fan favorite,

1149
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 1: similar to Howard Buffalo. That hit on Brett Park happened

1150
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 1: early in my career there, and it kind of set

1151
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 1: me up as far as letting people know who I

1152
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:55,440
Speaker 1: was and things like that. And then, you know, just

1153
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:58,440
Speaker 1: from a team's success standpoint, being a part of defense

1154
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 1: is where you know, we're we're playing anti championship games

1155
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 1: and going on six, seven, eight, nine, ten win streets

1156
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. But being a key part of

1157
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 1: the defense in that regard, I think those were the

1158
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 1: two situats I would say there were kind of on

1159
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 1: part with the Brett parkit. Yeah, but at the end

1160
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 1: of the dayment the Brett parkit, that's that's huge. Yeah,

1161
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, exactly. Do you remember exactly how that

1162
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 1: play unfolded because you came from the backside and I

1163
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 1: mean he rolled out and he's waiting and waiting, and

1164
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 1: You're like, let me just get there, let me just

1165
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 1: get there, don't let go over it. Yet what the

1166
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 1: thing about the play that was so funny that I'll

1167
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 1: never forget was it was one of those moments where

1168
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:44,880
Speaker 1: the film study and the way you played out in

1169
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 1: your head played out perfectly in the game. So the

1170
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 1: whole week we had been studying in Brett Park, we

1171
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:52,160
Speaker 1: knew that he liked to extend plays. We knew that

1172
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:55,480
Speaker 1: sometimes he's gonna hold the ball too long, sometimes he

1173
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 1: drifts back to where the pressure is coming from. So

1174
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 1: if you're on the backside of a rush, just keep

1175
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 1: going and eventually you're gonna get back involved in the play.

1176
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:06,800
Speaker 1: So when you fast forward to the actual play happening,

1177
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 1: it's just like how we watched on film. Brett Fark

1178
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 1: rolls out to us, right, he's holding the ball, holding

1179
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:12,960
Speaker 1: the ball, and now he's starting to drift back and

1180
01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:14,440
Speaker 1: me on the back. So I'm just saying him, I

1181
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:16,920
Speaker 1: just stay active, stay in the rush. I'm gonna get

1182
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 1: an opportunity. And literally, as I'm closing in, I'm seeing

1183
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 1: him come closer, drive back, drift back, and it was

1184
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 1: like the hit you can dream about what you hardly

1185
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:28,840
Speaker 1: ever see happen in the NFL for us as a defender,

1186
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:31,160
Speaker 1: and I mean, it was the perfect storm. He him

1187
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 1: drifting back, me running full speed and just able to

1188
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 1: you know, make a play and ultimately man it led

1189
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 1: to him a man dread and Florence with the big interception.

1190
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 1: So it was good time. Yeah. I forgot about the

1191
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 1: fact that the play ended with a turnover. Yeah, you know,

1192
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 1: everybody I think would probably expect to fumble on that,

1193
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 1: but it was a pick. I totally forgot that. Yeah. So,

1194
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:53,400
Speaker 1: you know, being a sixth round pick coming out of

1195
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 1: James Madison Arthur, if someone had told you back in

1196
01:01:57,320 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 1: two thousan ten that you were gonna have a nine

1197
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:02,440
Speaker 1: year career in the NFL, would you would you have

1198
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:05,760
Speaker 1: believed them. I'm just curious how your thoughts now maybe

1199
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:08,400
Speaker 1: different from what you expected back then, you know, as

1200
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 1: a sixth round rookie. Well, I'll say this, prior to

1201
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 1: coming to training camp in Buffalo, if they would have

1202
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 1: said I had a nine year career, I would have

1203
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 1: believed because I was extremely confident in myself at the time.

1204
01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of success collegiately and then you

1205
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 1: get draft to see you feel great. But that first

1206
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 1: training camp I had in Buffalo, I was struggling switching

1207
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:33,680
Speaker 1: positions the inside linebacker, learning a new three for scheme

1208
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 1: with George Edwards, just adapted to the NFL lifestyle. If

1209
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:38,040
Speaker 1: they would have told me I was gonna play nine

1210
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 1: years at that moment, I would have laughed in their

1211
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 1: face and said, I'll be lucky to see you know

1212
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 1: week nine of this regularly, Sime. That's just how we

1213
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:48,600
Speaker 1: was feeling at the moment, you know. But it's one

1214
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:51,800
Speaker 1: of those things that I always tell people, regardless of

1215
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 1: what your circumstances are, you know, as a draft pick,

1216
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 1: as a six round versus a first or second rounder,

1217
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: or even an undrafted guy, focus on you focused on

1218
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:02,280
Speaker 1: which you can control. And for me, the one that

1219
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 1: I can control was my work ethic. Understanding that hey,

1220
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:07,480
Speaker 1: if I put the time in and study to film

1221
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:09,800
Speaker 1: the way I need to study it and just continue

1222
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:11,920
Speaker 1: to grow as a player, I'll be better. And as

1223
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 1: long as I continue to grow and get better, I

1224
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:16,280
Speaker 1: could be impactful. And then if I'm impactful now, I'm

1225
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 1: going to show my value here for this organization. Ultimately

1226
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna want to keep me. So those are all

1227
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:24,320
Speaker 1: the things that got me through. You know, that training

1228
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 1: camp ultimately helped me reach the nine year career. I

1229
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:29,439
Speaker 1: know we're talking to Arthur Moats here, former Bill sixth

1230
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:32,200
Speaker 1: round draft choice and linebacker for the Bills as well

1231
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 1: as the Steelers, just announced his retirement last week. I

1232
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:37,320
Speaker 1: know that hasn't really stopped you, Arthur from doing stuff

1233
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 1: in the community. I think you did like a Steelers

1234
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,920
Speaker 1: youth camp just last week. And then you also have

1235
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:46,440
Speaker 1: something something coming up here with Santonio, Right, So why

1236
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 1: don't you fill everybody in because we do have listeners, viewers,

1237
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:52,520
Speaker 1: and erie PA that are not too far away, So

1238
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 1: maybe just fill us in on what you got lined

1239
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 1: up with Santonio down in the Pittsburgh area coming up. Yeah. Yeah,

1240
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 1: So me and Santonio homes former Super Bowl MVP. You know,

1241
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 1: we both are huge as far as community activism, as

1242
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:08,680
Speaker 1: far as making a difference, and we were saying to ourselves,

1243
01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 1: you know, what way can we pair up on something

1244
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:13,960
Speaker 1: two Steelers and ultimately have fun with the fans as well.

1245
01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:16,960
Speaker 1: So we came up with a celebrity dodgeball game and

1246
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 1: it'll be June twenty eighth, that Saint Gabriel the Archangel.

1247
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:22,960
Speaker 1: It's the old Trinity High School here in the Pittsburgh

1248
01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 1: Robinson area, and ultimately, we just wanted to do something

1249
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:30,000
Speaker 1: that was going to be fun all inclusive, have former Steelers,

1250
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:34,200
Speaker 1: but also have the various celebrities in the Pittsburgh market

1251
01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:37,560
Speaker 1: and all the proceeds going to the Ronald mcdonaldhaus Charities

1252
01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 1: and Santonio's third and long Sip of Cell Foundation as well. So,

1253
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:43,160
Speaker 1: like I said, we just wanted to do something that

1254
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 1: was going to be fun for the kids, fun for

1255
01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 1: the community. Also, like I said, bringing the celebrities out

1256
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 1: and at the same time make a difference, because that's

1257
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:52,440
Speaker 1: really what it's all about. And like you said, regardless

1258
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 1: if we retire to acting, I feel like you still

1259
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 1: have to continue to improve the areas that you're living

1260
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:58,680
Speaker 1: and you just have to continue to improve people that

1261
01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 1: are around you. And this something that we decided to

1262
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:02,320
Speaker 1: do that, like I said, will be a lot of

1263
01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:05,800
Speaker 1: fun as well. And how intense is that celebrity game

1264
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:08,479
Speaker 1: gonna get? I mean, we're talking about some big, strong

1265
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:11,040
Speaker 1: people here that can really put a lot behind these

1266
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 1: behind these dodgeballs, and you might not be dodging out

1267
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 1: of the way of some of these if they're coming

1268
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:17,680
Speaker 1: in hot. Like how serious are we gonna get here.

1269
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 1: We'll put it like this. For certain you know, teammates,

1270
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:24,000
Speaker 1: for former teammates in mind, yeah they got a target

1271
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:27,360
Speaker 1: on their back, you know. But but but for certain people,

1272
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 1: you know what, we'll do down a little bit, but

1273
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 1: always live by the thirty. If you could dodge a wrench,

1274
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:34,520
Speaker 1: you could dodge a ball. Yeah that's oh, I'm excited

1275
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:36,800
Speaker 1: about it. It's gonna be a ton of fun, like

1276
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:39,920
Speaker 1: I said June twenty eight and Saint Gabriel the Archangel

1277
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 1: High School here in Pittsburgh. And yeah, man, it's really

1278
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:44,479
Speaker 1: gonna be a good thing. Like I said, it's gonna

1279
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 1: be supporting to awesome causes when you think about the

1280
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:49,880
Speaker 1: rhyme of the Donald Hause Charities and U San Antonio

1281
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 1: Third and A six Foundation. So and real quick here

1282
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:56,600
Speaker 1: with respect to the Bills, I mean talking to Arthur

1283
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 1: mot here. For those of you who are just joining us,

1284
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 1: you know, I know you've kind of been focused more

1285
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:04,120
Speaker 1: on the Pittsburgh into things here, but they've got a

1286
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:06,440
Speaker 1: pretty good middle linebacker here by the name of Tremaine

1287
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 1: Edmonds who's from Ringold, Virginia. And I know you're a

1288
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 1: proud member of the seven to five to seven now

1289
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 1: ring goals in the four to three four, so it

1290
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:16,640
Speaker 1: doesn't really count. But have you have you seen any

1291
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:19,840
Speaker 1: of his tape being at Virginia Tech or you know,

1292
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 1: here in the NFL, And I'm just curious for your

1293
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 1: thoughts on Tremaine, especially being a fellow Virginia. Yeah. So

1294
01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:30,080
Speaker 1: then we talk about Tremaine's Buffalo tape, specifically his range,

1295
01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:31,920
Speaker 1: the way he's able to just like I say, be

1296
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:33,720
Speaker 1: all over the Philly left the team in tap us

1297
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 1: last year. We think about the pettigue that he's coming from,

1298
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 1: coming from Virginia Tech, but then also having two other

1299
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 1: brothers that are in the NFL as well, and being

1300
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 1: here with the Steelers. You see the potential that he

1301
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:48,200
Speaker 1: has and for him, if he stays outing and keeps developing,

1302
01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:50,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna definitely be one of the premier linebackers in

1303
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 1: this league just because he fits with today's game is

1304
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:56,280
Speaker 1: about one. We talk about being able to go silent

1305
01:06:56,320 --> 01:06:59,080
Speaker 1: and sideline, he does that. We talk about being able

1306
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 1: to you know, stand up in coverage, he does that,

1307
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 1: and these all the things that make him specially in

1308
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:06,280
Speaker 1: the unique talent. And that's why I think the Bills

1309
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:08,640
Speaker 1: drafted him where they drafted him in the first round

1310
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:11,520
Speaker 1: because they saw what he was, They saw the potential

1311
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:14,440
Speaker 1: that he has and how the way the game is evolving,

1312
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 1: he's going to fit perfectly into that. And he's only

1313
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:19,440
Speaker 1: twenty one years old and he didn't even filled out

1314
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:23,520
Speaker 1: physics crazy. So, I know you're gonna stay active in

1315
01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:25,960
Speaker 1: the community, as you said, But what really is is

1316
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 1: next for Arthur Most? I mean, I know you were

1317
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:31,000
Speaker 1: never shy about doing media related things. Either is that

1318
01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 1: an having you you're looking to pursue too, or what's

1319
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 1: what's next for Arthur Most? Yeah? Man, So next up

1320
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 1: is definitely media doing it on a full time basis,

1321
01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:43,840
Speaker 1: media broadcasting in the process right now talking with some

1322
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:47,080
Speaker 1: some places in terms of getting a deal done to

1323
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:49,680
Speaker 1: do it on a full time basis. But like I said,

1324
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:51,760
Speaker 1: for me, Man, anytime they were to get in front

1325
01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:53,760
Speaker 1: of the camera or on the radio, tell a story,

1326
01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:57,160
Speaker 1: help people out. From my experiences as well, given him

1327
01:07:57,200 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 1: my perspective, these are all the things that I am

1328
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:03,480
Speaker 1: about media broadcasting, and that's definitely gonna be my next move.

1329
01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:06,240
Speaker 1: All right, Arthur, we'll listen. We really appreciate you giving

1330
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:08,040
Speaker 1: us some time here. Even if you do have a

1331
01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:11,960
Speaker 1: little more time than you used to. But always good

1332
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 1: to see your face man, because I know maybe you

1333
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:18,479
Speaker 1: didn't make thirty forty fifty million dollars in your NFL career,

1334
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:20,519
Speaker 1: but your smile is worth a million bucks for sure.

1335
01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:24,439
Speaker 1: So yeah, appreciate seeing you. And again thanks for the time.

1336
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 1: Thank you. I always get talk with you, all right.

1337
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:31,679
Speaker 1: That's Arthur Moates here on one Bills Live and always

1338
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:34,040
Speaker 1: a great interview. The guys always got a smile on

1339
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:35,800
Speaker 1: his face. You want to get you know, if you're

1340
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:37,640
Speaker 1: having a dreary Monday, that's a guy to talk to,

1341
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:39,800
Speaker 1: because that's a guy that'll lift you up for sure.

1342
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:42,760
Speaker 1: And I hope Bills fans got to kick out of

1343
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 1: talking to him again since he's been away for a

1344
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:48,679
Speaker 1: little while down in Pittsburgh, obviously finishing out the back

1345
01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:51,599
Speaker 1: half of his career. Spent four seasons here in Buffalo,

1346
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:53,880
Speaker 1: then four in Pittsburgh, and then try to play for

1347
01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:56,720
Speaker 1: one more season in Arizona, but came up with that

1348
01:08:56,840 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 1: knee injury and got put on IR and then decide

1349
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:02,200
Speaker 1: to hang it up. But thirty one years old and

1350
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:04,479
Speaker 1: his whole life in front of him and somehow, some way,

1351
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 1: I see that guy having a broadcasting career of some kind.

1352
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 1: And he actually gave a thank you tweet out to

1353
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:15,320
Speaker 1: the Bills and the Steelers, and I'll read it for

1354
01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:18,320
Speaker 1: our radio listeners who can't see it on the MSG screen.

1355
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:20,360
Speaker 1: I have to give a big thanks to the Buffalo

1356
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:22,840
Speaker 1: Bills and the Pittsburgh Steelers for giving me this opportunity

1357
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:25,960
Speaker 1: to play nine seasons in the NFL. Last, but certainly

1358
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:27,760
Speaker 1: not least, I have to give a big shout out

1359
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 1: to Bills Mafia and Steelers Nation for all the support.

1360
01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 1: Hashtag don't cross the moats, hashtag retired. He did that

1361
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:37,679
Speaker 1: just last week. Actually it's a week ago today, June tenth,

1362
01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:40,840
Speaker 1: that Arthur Moates announced his retirement. So good to catch

1363
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:43,679
Speaker 1: up with him, and I fully expect that we'll see

1364
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:46,840
Speaker 1: him up here for points during the season for various

1365
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 1: Bills alumni functions, because you know, he's a guy that's

1366
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 1: always willing to participate. We're going to take a break here,

1367
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:57,000
Speaker 1: but we'll come back. We'll revisit some of our Twitter

1368
01:09:57,080 --> 01:10:01,080
Speaker 1: poll conversation, and we'll also here from head Sean McDermott.

1369
01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:03,679
Speaker 1: For those of you who missed his appearance late last

1370
01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:06,080
Speaker 1: week right at the close of mini camp. We'll have

1371
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:08,519
Speaker 1: some of his thoughts and comments on how the spring

1372
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:10,760
Speaker 1: went for the Bills. That's coming up next here on

01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:36,559
Speaker 1: as we told you, Sean McDermott from our in case

1377
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 1: you missed it file was on the show late last

1378
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:43,479
Speaker 1: week right at the close of Bill's minicamp, which pretty

1379
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 1: much put a bow on the off season program and

1380
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:50,360
Speaker 1: the practices as the players now have about six weeks

1381
01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:52,840
Speaker 1: off before they need to report for training camp at

1382
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:55,800
Speaker 1: Saint John Fisher. So coach McDermott gave us his thoughts

1383
01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:58,600
Speaker 1: on mini camp and where this team is headed in

1384
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:03,600
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Hello coach, congratulations, you made it through. You

1385
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:07,920
Speaker 1: made it through meeting camp. Congratulations backing camp. Well, it was.

1386
01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:11,040
Speaker 1: It was a great, great offseason for us, and a

1387
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:13,240
Speaker 1: lot of new developments on our football team, a lot

1388
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:15,439
Speaker 1: of new developments around the organization, certainly with the new

1389
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:18,760
Speaker 1: facility and new new tour field going in which very

1390
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:22,400
Speaker 1: we are very appreciative of and um, we're excited about

1391
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:24,720
Speaker 1: the future new developments. Let's start right with the news

1392
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:26,759
Speaker 1: that just came out about an hour ago. The training

1393
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:29,519
Speaker 1: camp schedule is out. You started about six weeks, six

1394
01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:33,040
Speaker 1: weeks from yesterday, Thursday, July twenty fifty five am at

1395
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 1: Saint John Fisher College. Talk about training camp if you would,

1396
01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:38,519
Speaker 1: and what you look to get out of that, and

1397
01:11:38,840 --> 01:11:40,800
Speaker 1: why are you going back to Rochester for another year?

1398
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:43,880
Speaker 1: We're already talking about training camp right now. It's five

1399
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:46,280
Speaker 1: six weeks away, but yeah, it's we look forward to it.

1400
01:11:46,360 --> 01:11:49,559
Speaker 1: We enjoy going to Rochester. You know, I personally believe

1401
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:52,280
Speaker 1: Saint Saint John Fisher is a great venue to hold

1402
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:55,920
Speaker 1: an NFL training camp. You know, they welcome us with

1403
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:58,080
Speaker 1: open arms. What more could you ask for in terms

1404
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 1: of the first class treatment we get up there. Um,

1405
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:02,639
Speaker 1: it's a great way for us to connect with our

1406
01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:07,120
Speaker 1: fan base there as well, and so I think it's

1407
01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:11,160
Speaker 1: one of the best venues for training camp around you.

1408
01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:15,920
Speaker 1: What are you looking to do there in light of

1409
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:18,000
Speaker 1: what got accomplished here in the spring, I guess when

1410
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:20,880
Speaker 1: I'm getting that coaches, you know you had a fair

1411
01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:23,320
Speaker 1: share of injuries on the offensive side, of the ball,

1412
01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:24,960
Speaker 1: which was the side of the ball you were looking

1413
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:28,360
Speaker 1: to start the blend probably sooner rather than later. So

1414
01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:31,960
Speaker 1: did that did the time missed by the number of

1415
01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:36,519
Speaker 1: guys that were out shift anything with your scheduling you're

1416
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:40,120
Speaker 1: planning as you get prepared for training camp. Yeah, I

1417
01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:43,040
Speaker 1: would say, you know, Chris, you're you're always evaluating where

1418
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:45,080
Speaker 1: you are as where we are as a football team

1419
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:48,720
Speaker 1: and making subtle adjustments. And so you know, one of

1420
01:12:48,760 --> 01:12:50,880
Speaker 1: the areas, as you mentioned, that we've been a little

1421
01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:53,639
Speaker 1: bit held back with is has been our offensive side

1422
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:55,880
Speaker 1: of the ball in terms of the continuity with respect

1423
01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:59,160
Speaker 1: to the injuries this time of year. And some of

1424
01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:04,000
Speaker 1: that was not injuries sustained necessarily an offseason practice, but

1425
01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:08,120
Speaker 1: injuries that some guys came in with m and so

1426
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:11,280
Speaker 1: that's what comes with free agency a little bit, right. So,

1427
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:15,200
Speaker 1: but having said all that, we we haven't had the

1428
01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:18,880
Speaker 1: continuity this time of year that we had hoped for necessarily.

1429
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 1: That said, going into training camp, we need to make

1430
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:23,840
Speaker 1: it a little bit of an adjustment in terms of

1431
01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:28,160
Speaker 1: trying to develop some continuity earlier than maybe we had

1432
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 1: originally planned. And one more training camp question, what goes

1433
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:35,120
Speaker 1: into scheduling training camp, both in terms of the number

1434
01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:36,960
Speaker 1: of days there and even the structure of the days.

1435
01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:41,360
Speaker 1: The practice practices typically start this year at nine forty five.

1436
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:42,880
Speaker 1: You pushed it back a little bit, like an hour

1437
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 1: or so. But what goes into those sort of considerations, Well,

1438
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:46,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot that goes into it. I just came

1439
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:49,840
Speaker 1: off of a meeting with our with our medical team

1440
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:53,280
Speaker 1: and our sports science department on looking into our schedule.

1441
01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:56,840
Speaker 1: We spent a lot of time this offseason trying to

1442
01:13:56,920 --> 01:14:00,760
Speaker 1: improve our processes in terms of making sure sure there's

1443
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:03,920
Speaker 1: three areas really that we wanted to improve on was

1444
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:07,880
Speaker 1: recovery and rest, which is really one area, so we're

1445
01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:10,040
Speaker 1: starting a little bit later and we did that this

1446
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:13,760
Speaker 1: past spring. Retention in terms of the mental piece for

1447
01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:17,000
Speaker 1: our players that um, we're making the most of our

1448
01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:20,360
Speaker 1: meeting time where we're basically in class with them, and

1449
01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:23,080
Speaker 1: then the reps on the field, so kind of the

1450
01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:26,760
Speaker 1: three RS approach of of of rest as well as

1451
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:29,639
Speaker 1: the the retention and the and the reps when we're

1452
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:34,200
Speaker 1: on the field itself. So with you know, the retention,

1453
01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:36,519
Speaker 1: I think I don't have to tell you because I

1454
01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 1: know you're aware of this. But you know, the modern

1455
01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:43,080
Speaker 1: day young athlete kid, the millennials, if you will, retention

1456
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:46,679
Speaker 1: rate isn't something they specialize in. I mean they're they're

1457
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:48,760
Speaker 1: looking at me there sliding. Well no I'm not, but

1458
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:51,479
Speaker 1: I mean they're sliding through their instagrams and you know,

1459
01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:52,800
Speaker 1: I mean I don't have to tell you that. So

1460
01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:56,479
Speaker 1: is that something that you have to I mean as coaches,

1461
01:14:56,479 --> 01:14:58,360
Speaker 1: you gotta be mindful of that because you want the

1462
01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:02,760
Speaker 1: retention and you want their attention, but how long do

1463
01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:06,000
Speaker 1: you have it is something that you have to constantly measure, right,

1464
01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:07,640
Speaker 1: it is? And we and we spend some time this

1465
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:11,920
Speaker 1: offseason again as a staff um trying to evolve and

1466
01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:15,800
Speaker 1: one of the areas was, uh, the these millennials, these

1467
01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:19,400
Speaker 1: screen agers that that we get. I like that. I

1468
01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:21,719
Speaker 1: haven't heard that that's a good I mean they spend

1469
01:15:21,720 --> 01:15:24,200
Speaker 1: a lot of time in that, in that realm of

1470
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:27,799
Speaker 1: on their phones, looking at their screens, whether it's iPads, phones,

1471
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:30,879
Speaker 1: what have you, the different things that are always developing

1472
01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:34,040
Speaker 1: out there. And so how do we um get their

1473
01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:39,120
Speaker 1: attention at at max capacity but in a shorter amount

1474
01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:41,960
Speaker 1: of time before they lose interest? Um? I know there's

1475
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:44,960
Speaker 1: a ton out there about um taking phone breaks for

1476
01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 1: these guys to check their phones and whatnot. So you know,

1477
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:50,800
Speaker 1: that's an area we are always trying to evolve in

1478
01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:53,519
Speaker 1: and grow in and and because it's real, it's not

1479
01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:56,400
Speaker 1: what we know maybe so much is it. It's what

1480
01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:58,400
Speaker 1: they know because they are the ones on the field

1481
01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:00,479
Speaker 1: with head Coachean McDermot a couple of minutes here to

1482
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:03,280
Speaker 1: get our show started on this Friday. Um, you're going in,

1483
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:05,240
Speaker 1: you're getting set for your third season now. And one

1484
01:16:05,320 --> 01:16:08,400
Speaker 1: things that that's different are the resources and the facilities

1485
01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:10,920
Speaker 1: here have right next door with the new weight room,

1486
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:14,120
Speaker 1: player performance Center. I wonder what you've seen as a

1487
01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:16,960
Speaker 1: result of that through the spring practices so far and

1488
01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:19,240
Speaker 1: how much of that factors into you know, how much

1489
01:16:19,280 --> 01:16:21,000
Speaker 1: time you want to spend away from that for a

1490
01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:24,360
Speaker 1: training camp. Well that's always a consideration, right when when

1491
01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:26,920
Speaker 1: you do decide to go away for training camp. That said,

1492
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:31,040
Speaker 1: as an organization, I know we feel that the benefits

1493
01:16:31,240 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 1: still outweigh the costs of going away in terms of

1494
01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:37,120
Speaker 1: being away from this this beautiful facility that we that

1495
01:16:37,200 --> 01:16:40,400
Speaker 1: we have. And so look, at the end of the day,

1496
01:16:40,439 --> 01:16:44,720
Speaker 1: the facility is as nice as it is will be

1497
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:47,400
Speaker 1: a piece, but not but not the reason, the sole

1498
01:16:47,439 --> 01:16:49,720
Speaker 1: reason why we win games. Um At the end of

1499
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:52,360
Speaker 1: the day, we talk a lot about in the team

1500
01:16:52,439 --> 01:16:55,240
Speaker 1: meetings about the two most important parts of our building.

1501
01:16:55,640 --> 01:16:59,439
Speaker 1: The two most valuable assets in our building are our

1502
01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:02,240
Speaker 1: number one our people, and number two is as relates

1503
01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:04,920
Speaker 1: to football as the ball. And so just trying to

1504
01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:08,280
Speaker 1: continue to send that message down to our players that

1505
01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:11,840
Speaker 1: they understand the importance of the decisions they make off

1506
01:17:11,880 --> 01:17:15,040
Speaker 1: the field, the decisions they make on the field, and

1507
01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:17,200
Speaker 1: then also how important the ball is to winning football.

1508
01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 1: And we were wondering how much input you had, you know,

1509
01:17:20,160 --> 01:17:22,120
Speaker 1: back in the years a year ago at least in

1510
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:24,040
Speaker 1: the planning stage for that built for that room, the

1511
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:26,559
Speaker 1: new performance center over there. We you must have been

1512
01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:28,559
Speaker 1: involved in a lot of what's in there now, right

1513
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:32,200
Speaker 1: we were, Brandon and myself, we were both involved to

1514
01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:33,880
Speaker 1: a certain extent, you know, at the end of the day,

1515
01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:39,559
Speaker 1: it was a collaborative effort, well organized, great communication. Dave

1516
01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:43,400
Speaker 1: Wheat as well as Kim in particular from from the

1517
01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:47,000
Speaker 1: ownership side of it, were very involved. And then all

1518
01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:50,479
Speaker 1: the architectural plans that went into it. And it's just

1519
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:55,639
Speaker 1: been a tremendous um. It was a tremendous undertaking number one,

1520
01:17:56,200 --> 01:18:00,320
Speaker 1: but I thought it really showed the value of team

1521
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:04,760
Speaker 1: and the product now that the players have and our

1522
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:08,519
Speaker 1: staff uses it as well. I think it just shows

1523
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:11,360
Speaker 1: what we're trying to do, and the goal of it

1524
01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 1: all is that you know, anybody and everybody that comes

1525
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:16,639
Speaker 1: to work at the Buffalo Bills are coming to work

1526
01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 1: at potentially what is the happiest and healthiest place to

1527
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:25,440
Speaker 1: work in the NFL. You obviously are still probably digesting

1528
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:27,880
Speaker 1: a lot of what went on out on the field

1529
01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 1: in terms of maybe reviewing practice tape. I know coaches

1530
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:33,840
Speaker 1: get away too at some point, but when you look

1531
01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:37,880
Speaker 1: at the progress that Josh made, I mean, we weren't

1532
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:39,639
Speaker 1: out there as much as you were being out there

1533
01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:43,360
Speaker 1: every day. There's the other half of his job besides

1534
01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:45,320
Speaker 1: what's just on the field. But in terms of his

1535
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:48,559
Speaker 1: year two step that you're looking for him to take,

1536
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:50,479
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a long list of where you want

1537
01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:54,200
Speaker 1: to see him grow. But there's that risk reward part

1538
01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:58,160
Speaker 1: of his game that I think gets accentuated because of

1539
01:18:58,320 --> 01:19:01,679
Speaker 1: his rare physical ability. He can make plays that maybe

1540
01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:04,439
Speaker 1: only half a dozen other quarterbacks in this league can

1541
01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:07,600
Speaker 1: make just because he's so physically gifted. How is he

1542
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:12,680
Speaker 1: in terms of balancing those rare physical gifts and the

1543
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:16,720
Speaker 1: risks that come, you know, in game situations, and there

1544
01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:20,200
Speaker 1: are easy ones like we're up fourteen, there's three minutes left,

1545
01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm not going to stick a ball in a tight window.

1546
01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:24,720
Speaker 1: Those are the easy ones to avoid. How is he

1547
01:19:25,400 --> 01:19:29,839
Speaker 1: managing some of them maybe more nuanced risk reward decisions

1548
01:19:29,920 --> 01:19:32,759
Speaker 1: that he's going to have to make. Are you referring

1549
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:37,200
Speaker 1: to his mobility, Chris, not his decision making decisioning? Right? Well,

1550
01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:40,000
Speaker 1: I think that that's Listen, that's a part of the

1551
01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:43,720
Speaker 1: of every player's evolution from year one to year two,

1552
01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:45,880
Speaker 1: from year two to year three, so on and so forth,

1553
01:19:45,960 --> 01:19:48,120
Speaker 1: and and listen, at the end of the day, we

1554
01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:51,840
Speaker 1: turn the ball over way too much last year. So

1555
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:54,160
Speaker 1: it's hard to win football games again when you don't

1556
01:19:54,200 --> 01:19:57,080
Speaker 1: take care of this second most important thing in our building,

1557
01:19:57,080 --> 01:20:01,479
Speaker 1: which is the football and so being as sound decision

1558
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:04,360
Speaker 1: makers an important part of being a good quarterback. And

1559
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:07,200
Speaker 1: you just study the stats over the years and you

1560
01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:10,280
Speaker 1: look at the stat that doesn't change in relation to

1561
01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:14,280
Speaker 1: correlation to winning football games is the teams that take

1562
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:17,360
Speaker 1: care of the football on offense and special teams give

1563
01:20:17,439 --> 01:20:19,720
Speaker 1: themselves a chance to win every week. And I know

1564
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:22,519
Speaker 1: you have obviously more of a trained eye than murpher

1565
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:25,040
Speaker 1: I do in terms of evaluating all of that stuff.

1566
01:20:25,400 --> 01:20:28,000
Speaker 1: If there's one thing that seemed to stand out, it

1567
01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:32,439
Speaker 1: seems like Josh's ball location is far more consistent than

1568
01:20:32,479 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 1: it was last year. And it also looks like his

1569
01:20:35,560 --> 01:20:40,200
Speaker 1: array of throws has been diversified too. Like there looks

1570
01:20:40,240 --> 01:20:42,519
Speaker 1: like there's a touch pass in his game, you know,

1571
01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:46,000
Speaker 1: dropping it over somebody's shoulder with touch you know, I mean,

1572
01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:49,040
Speaker 1: we always knew he had his fastball, but it seems

1573
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:51,639
Speaker 1: like he's diversified the way. I even saw a sidearm,

1574
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:54,759
Speaker 1: you know, kind of throw the last day in mini camps.

1575
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:57,640
Speaker 1: So are you seeing those things? And how far do

1576
01:20:57,760 --> 01:21:00,800
Speaker 1: you think he can take those elements of game now? Right?

1577
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:03,280
Speaker 1: And that's a that's another chapter in his development, is

1578
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:05,680
Speaker 1: the change of the of the arm slot as it

1579
01:21:05,760 --> 01:21:10,360
Speaker 1: relates to short of some shorter throws, UM, the touch pass,

1580
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:14,360
Speaker 1: the ball location and giving the opportunity to giving the

1581
01:21:14,600 --> 01:21:17,960
Speaker 1: receiver a chance to run after the catch. UM that

1582
01:21:18,240 --> 01:21:21,559
Speaker 1: that's a generation piece of our offense, UM or should

1583
01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:24,280
Speaker 1: become a generation piece of our offense in terms of

1584
01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:27,200
Speaker 1: the run after the catch, I mean, UM, to sustain

1585
01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:29,280
Speaker 1: a drive, you have to have that eight yard pass

1586
01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:32,479
Speaker 1: that can go for eighty UM and so that's that's

1587
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:36,599
Speaker 1: also a roster piece UM that we've tried to UM

1588
01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:40,880
Speaker 1: improve this offseason and so UM and will continue to

1589
01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:43,439
Speaker 1: be because the importance of rack as it relates to

1590
01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:47,439
Speaker 1: scoring points. A couple of months of work with Josh

1591
01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:50,080
Speaker 1: Allen and Ken Dorsey's position coach, how would you assess

1592
01:21:50,160 --> 01:21:51,680
Speaker 1: that and how are they how are they doing and

1593
01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:54,919
Speaker 1: what kind of progress. That's been an interesting, UM interesting

1594
01:21:55,439 --> 01:21:58,760
Speaker 1: dynamic to watch evolve and and and come into players

1595
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:02,040
Speaker 1: that relates to Josh's develop elpment. UM. That's a great room.

1596
01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:04,880
Speaker 1: I think it's it's you have to be a little

1597
01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:08,280
Speaker 1: bit unselfish when when you when you have multiple voices

1598
01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:12,240
Speaker 1: in there, all all wanting the quarterbacks ear and then

1599
01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:14,040
Speaker 1: we have to be selective. And so it takes a

1600
01:22:14,120 --> 01:22:18,559
Speaker 1: lot of UM work lead wise in terms of who's

1601
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:20,519
Speaker 1: going to say what, making sure we're on the same

1602
01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:24,960
Speaker 1: page with our terminology with Josh and UM. You know,

1603
01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:27,920
Speaker 1: let's just take it from a from a youth example. Right,

1604
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:30,400
Speaker 1: So you've got you've got one coach saying this, You've

1605
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:32,439
Speaker 1: got another coach saying this to your son or daughter

1606
01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:34,760
Speaker 1: at X amount of age, and they're trying to listen

1607
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:36,240
Speaker 1: to this one and trying to listen to this one.

1608
01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:38,160
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, if they're not both

1609
01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:40,400
Speaker 1: on the same page, they're going to hurt hurt the player.

1610
01:22:40,479 --> 01:22:43,599
Speaker 1: And uh, and so a lot of effort and forethought

1611
01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:45,479
Speaker 1: has to go into into making sure we're on the

1612
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:47,960
Speaker 1: same page. And as the head coach, how much time

1613
01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:50,320
Speaker 1: have you spent through these couple of months of spring

1614
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:53,080
Speaker 1: workouts keeping an eye on your two your other two

1615
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:55,479
Speaker 1: new hires, both of whom are first time you know,

1616
01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:59,120
Speaker 1: position coaches, Chan Hall and Bobby Johnson, Right, Um, and

1617
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:00,960
Speaker 1: I would I would say the same with with Heath

1618
01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:03,880
Speaker 1: Farwell as well as special team's coach. So, um, you know, look,

1619
01:23:04,479 --> 01:23:06,720
Speaker 1: there's a there's a great saying out there about you know,

1620
01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:10,439
Speaker 1: developing what you've got and and blooming where you're planted.

1621
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:13,320
Speaker 1: So it's our it's it's part of my job as

1622
01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:17,280
Speaker 1: a head coach to help develop the coaches that we have. Um.

1623
01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:19,439
Speaker 1: Some of these guys to your point are our first

1624
01:23:19,520 --> 01:23:23,280
Speaker 1: time maybe lead position coaches, And at the end of

1625
01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:26,639
Speaker 1: the day, they're all good h young men with bright

1626
01:23:26,760 --> 01:23:29,360
Speaker 1: futures that work extremely hard at their job. They're good

1627
01:23:29,400 --> 01:23:32,240
Speaker 1: teachers and uh and I think those are the some

1628
01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:34,800
Speaker 1: of the some of the big ingredients to becoming very

1629
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:37,640
Speaker 1: good position coaches. I know you've got to get rolling here.

1630
01:23:37,640 --> 01:23:39,720
Speaker 1: So the last one for me is actually on the

1631
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:41,719
Speaker 1: other side of the ball. Here we are ten minutes

1632
01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:44,559
Speaker 1: and we're finally talking about defense. Coach. But you said

1633
01:23:44,640 --> 01:23:47,439
Speaker 1: the other day in your last press conference, somebody asked

1634
01:23:47,479 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 1: you about where the defense has to go now after

1635
01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:53,960
Speaker 1: a pretty successful season statistically, and you said everywhere. And

1636
01:23:54,320 --> 01:23:56,839
Speaker 1: some guys sat up in their sea go whoa everywhere,

1637
01:23:57,240 --> 01:23:59,360
Speaker 1: and they're like, this wasn't the number two pass This

1638
01:23:59,400 --> 01:24:01,400
Speaker 1: was number two defense and football. As your number one

1639
01:24:01,439 --> 01:24:03,679
Speaker 1: pass defense and football, they really have to get better everywhere.

1640
01:24:03,760 --> 01:24:06,000
Speaker 1: So can you just kind of elaborate on on your

1641
01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:08,840
Speaker 1: comment in terms of what you were driving at with that,

1642
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:11,800
Speaker 1: knowing that this was a pretty successful defense against a

1643
01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:14,760
Speaker 1: pass like, yeah, no, I was the question was was

1644
01:24:15,360 --> 01:24:17,360
Speaker 1: shaped in such a way of what are the areas

1645
01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:20,040
Speaker 1: that they need to get better at and really. UM,

1646
01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:22,479
Speaker 1: I would say everywhere. You know, there's every we need

1647
01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:24,920
Speaker 1: to get better at in every area of what we do. Um,

1648
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:27,920
Speaker 1: just speaking of the defense let alone everything as relates

1649
01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:31,160
Speaker 1: to the football team. But UM, it's each year. And

1650
01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:33,160
Speaker 1: part of the reason my answer was the way it

1651
01:24:33,320 --> 01:24:35,640
Speaker 1: was is because each year is different. Each year is

1652
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:37,400
Speaker 1: a new team, each year is a new defense in

1653
01:24:37,439 --> 01:24:41,080
Speaker 1: this case, and UM, it starts with an overall personality

1654
01:24:41,120 --> 01:24:43,559
Speaker 1: of the defense. You know, I firmly believe that good,

1655
01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:48,599
Speaker 1: really good defenses have a have a personality and nasty, physical,

1656
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:52,320
Speaker 1: tough personality. There's an edge to it, and there's a

1657
01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:56,000
Speaker 1: dog that's baked into that that defense. And um, whether

1658
01:24:56,080 --> 01:24:58,080
Speaker 1: they play at home or on the road, or a

1659
01:24:58,200 --> 01:25:01,000
Speaker 1: night game or a day game or in pre season. Uh.

1660
01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:03,160
Speaker 1: And that comes with an urgency, and that comes with

1661
01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:07,080
Speaker 1: the the personality of our coaching staff as well as Uh,

1662
01:25:07,360 --> 01:25:10,120
Speaker 1: I'm baked into that as well. So that's a big

1663
01:25:10,320 --> 01:25:13,240
Speaker 1: part of what of the jump we need to make

1664
01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:15,760
Speaker 1: defensively this year and and uh And so that's why

1665
01:25:15,760 --> 01:25:17,680
Speaker 1: I answered the question the way. One more for you,

1666
01:25:17,840 --> 01:25:19,519
Speaker 1: just a short one. The next six weeks, you got

1667
01:25:19,640 --> 01:25:21,320
Speaker 1: rookies here for about a week or so, But what's

1668
01:25:21,760 --> 01:25:23,439
Speaker 1: what what do you tell the players on their way

1669
01:25:23,479 --> 01:25:25,000
Speaker 1: out the door this week as far as the next

1670
01:25:25,080 --> 01:25:27,120
Speaker 1: five or six weeks, what you're looking for from them. Yeah,

1671
01:25:27,160 --> 01:25:28,880
Speaker 1: it's there's a little bit of hey, you know, push

1672
01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:31,120
Speaker 1: back away from the table for for just a short

1673
01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:33,680
Speaker 1: amount of time. But you know, I made sure I

1674
01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:37,439
Speaker 1: communicated to the young players in particular that just because

1675
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:41,400
Speaker 1: it's it's a break, it's not vacation and and and honestly,

1676
01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:45,320
Speaker 1: it's it's the opposite of that. So, um, whereas some

1677
01:25:45,479 --> 01:25:47,160
Speaker 1: of the coaches may be trying to get away and

1678
01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:51,160
Speaker 1: get some downtime, they um, after their short amount of downtime,

1679
01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:53,680
Speaker 1: should be ramping up their training so that they come

1680
01:25:53,720 --> 01:25:56,880
Speaker 1: back to training camp in the best shape of their lives.

1681
01:25:57,040 --> 01:25:59,840
Speaker 1: And uh, and so that's that's really what we're looking for.

1682
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:01,599
Speaker 1: I'm gonna spend the next few weeks trying to get

1683
01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:03,599
Speaker 1: that image of a dog baked into your defense out

1684
01:26:03,640 --> 01:26:05,040
Speaker 1: of my head. I'm ready to get a coach an

1685
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:07,240
Speaker 1: apron or something. A lot of bacon going on in

1686
01:26:07,320 --> 01:26:12,240
Speaker 1: that answer. Thanks for having me Gains, all right. That's

1687
01:26:12,280 --> 01:26:14,439
Speaker 1: Bill's head coach, Sean McDermott, just on the show late

1688
01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:16,160
Speaker 1: last week at the close a mini camp with his

1689
01:26:16,280 --> 01:26:18,960
Speaker 1: thoughts on how things went in the spring, what he's

1690
01:26:19,040 --> 01:26:21,840
Speaker 1: looking for come the fall when they get to training

1691
01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:24,040
Speaker 1: camp in the summer. In terms of what's still going

1692
01:26:24,160 --> 01:26:25,800
Speaker 1: to be on the to do list, maybe the most

1693
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:28,280
Speaker 1: important thing is the fact that due to the lack

1694
01:26:28,320 --> 01:26:31,560
Speaker 1: of availability of a lot of those offensive players on

1695
01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:34,120
Speaker 1: the offensive line in the wide receiving corps at the

1696
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:37,360
Speaker 1: tight end position, it did kind of force the coaching

1697
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:40,719
Speaker 1: staff to maybe make some adjustments with their practice schedule,

1698
01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:43,360
Speaker 1: their meeting schedule when training camp opens, because they do

1699
01:26:43,600 --> 01:26:46,400
Speaker 1: have some extra ground to make up to get that

1700
01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:49,200
Speaker 1: time on the field that they need to kind of

1701
01:26:49,240 --> 01:26:52,520
Speaker 1: coalesce and gel. But that's Bill's head coach, Sean McDermott.

1702
01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:54,000
Speaker 1: We're going to take a break now, but when we

1703
01:26:54,080 --> 01:26:56,439
Speaker 1: come back and be answering some of your questions, including

1704
01:26:56,520 --> 01:26:58,920
Speaker 1: Joe and Rochester, who's waiting patiently on the line, hang

1705
01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:01,160
Speaker 1: right there. I'll get to you the other side. This

1706
01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:03,680
Speaker 1: is One Bills Live from One Bill's Drive, and this

1707
01:27:04,160 --> 01:27:18,719
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Chris Brown here on One Bills

1708
01:27:18,760 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 1: Live from One Bill's Drive. Almost at the top of

1709
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:23,880
Speaker 1: the hour, here where we'll be hearing from Jim Kelly

1710
01:27:23,920 --> 01:27:25,759
Speaker 1: in our next hour. But we have time to answer

1711
01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:28,360
Speaker 1: some of your questions that you've been firing off at me,

1712
01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:30,760
Speaker 1: at Chris Brown Bills or at the one bills live

1713
01:27:31,320 --> 01:27:34,240
Speaker 1: Twitter handle. As our Twitter poll is what will Josh

1714
01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:36,800
Speaker 1: Allen most likely do in his second NFL season? You

1715
01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:39,479
Speaker 1: can check out the choices there. But we are going

1716
01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:41,040
Speaker 1: to go to the phones at eight oh three oh

1717
01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:44,639
Speaker 1: five fifty. We're gonna talk to Joe in Rochester. So, Joe,

1718
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:46,320
Speaker 1: what do you have for me? Sir? Thanks for joining

1719
01:27:46,360 --> 01:27:49,680
Speaker 1: the program. Yeah, well, thank you for having me. Yeah,

1720
01:27:49,760 --> 01:27:52,960
Speaker 1: I just I would love to see Josh Allen stay

1721
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:55,160
Speaker 1: in the pocket bit longer, maybe stopped into the pocket

1722
01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:58,920
Speaker 1: when he sees the pressure coming towards him, and you know,

1723
01:27:59,120 --> 01:28:01,519
Speaker 1: spend some little time for his receivers to get out

1724
01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:03,880
Speaker 1: a bit and they up and see him so they

1725
01:28:03,920 --> 01:28:06,840
Speaker 1: could throw a good accurate ball. I wanted to see him,

1726
01:28:06,960 --> 01:28:08,240
Speaker 1: They want to see hi run of the lot. I

1727
01:28:08,280 --> 01:28:09,880
Speaker 1: just wanted him to step up into the pocket and

1728
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:12,719
Speaker 1: throw a good, excellent ball to his receivers. So you'd

1729
01:28:12,760 --> 01:28:15,240
Speaker 1: be good if he runs for less than four hundred yards.

1730
01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:17,479
Speaker 1: You wouldn't mind that as long as he's a better passer.

1731
01:28:17,640 --> 01:28:22,120
Speaker 1: Forty five to fifty yards rushing for him per game, Yeah,

1732
01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:26,960
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty five yard passing, you know, like

1733
01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:31,800
Speaker 1: a sixty eight to maybe seventy percent passing acc that's

1734
01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:33,519
Speaker 1: what I like to see. Oh wow, well, now you're

1735
01:28:33,560 --> 01:28:36,920
Speaker 1: really getting up there in terms of numbers. I mean said,

1736
01:28:36,960 --> 01:28:40,599
Speaker 1: it's nineteen seventy one. So I've been I've been there,

1737
01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:42,479
Speaker 1: I've been to it all, so I see a lot

1738
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:44,240
Speaker 1: of it. And I know he's got a lot of potential,

1739
01:28:44,640 --> 01:28:47,639
Speaker 1: especially with your new receivers and all the smot stuff

1740
01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:50,960
Speaker 1: and going on. So I'm hoping he has a great year. Yeah,

1741
01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:52,960
Speaker 1: me too. All right, Joe, listen, thanks for the call,

1742
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:55,680
Speaker 1: Thanks for hanging on. I appreciate it. Eight oh three

1743
01:28:55,760 --> 01:28:58,519
Speaker 1: oh five fifty to join us. Yeah, I mean he

1744
01:28:58,640 --> 01:29:02,080
Speaker 1: wants sixty seven to sixty completion percentage. While I'm not

1745
01:29:02,160 --> 01:29:05,160
Speaker 1: going to say it's impossible, that is a gigantic leap

1746
01:29:05,760 --> 01:29:08,519
Speaker 1: from fifty two percent. And while I was encouraged by

1747
01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:12,160
Speaker 1: what I saw from Josh in terms of the practices

1748
01:29:12,240 --> 01:29:15,760
Speaker 1: here in the spring, it's still not live football with

1749
01:29:16,240 --> 01:29:18,760
Speaker 1: a guy coming off the edge trying to take your

1750
01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:22,200
Speaker 1: head off. But his ball location's better. As I said,

1751
01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:24,680
Speaker 1: and you heard in the interview with Sean McDermot who

1752
01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:27,760
Speaker 1: was on late last week, he does have a diversified

1753
01:29:28,400 --> 01:29:32,519
Speaker 1: throwing repertoire where he's throwing sidearm. Now he's got a

1754
01:29:32,560 --> 01:29:35,280
Speaker 1: better touch pass, so he is improved in a lot

1755
01:29:35,320 --> 01:29:37,920
Speaker 1: of those areas. But to go from fifty two percent

1756
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:41,160
Speaker 1: to sixty eight percent, that is a giant leap in effectiveness.

1757
01:29:41,200 --> 01:29:43,040
Speaker 1: And believe me, I'd be the happiest person in the

1758
01:29:43,080 --> 01:29:45,559
Speaker 1: world if we could see it. But I think somewhere

1759
01:29:45,640 --> 01:29:48,519
Speaker 1: between fifty eight and sixty percent is probably a more

1760
01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:51,000
Speaker 1: realistic step to take here in year two, and then

1761
01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:53,960
Speaker 1: maybe you can flirt with numbers like that in year

1762
01:29:54,040 --> 01:29:57,880
Speaker 1: three or four. We did get another question at Chris

1763
01:29:58,000 --> 01:29:59,920
Speaker 1: Brown Bills that I wanted to get to real quick.

1764
01:30:01,400 --> 01:30:06,839
Speaker 1: This guy he's wondering. He says, this was from DJ Falco.

1765
01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:09,000
Speaker 1: He says, is it just me or does it seem

1766
01:30:09,040 --> 01:30:10,680
Speaker 1: like the Bills are working on a version of a

1767
01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:14,320
Speaker 1: no huddle offense with having Allen call plays and picking

1768
01:30:14,400 --> 01:30:18,280
Speaker 1: Kelly's brain. And he's referencing Josh Allen's comments in the

1769
01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:21,240
Speaker 1: interview that we had last hour with Josh where he

1770
01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:24,120
Speaker 1: you know, we talked to him about instances in the

1771
01:30:24,200 --> 01:30:27,439
Speaker 1: spring practices where Coach Dable will say, all right, here's

1772
01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:30,200
Speaker 1: this next series of plays. You call it. And I

1773
01:30:30,320 --> 01:30:32,720
Speaker 1: think that has people's wheels turning because they know Jim

1774
01:30:32,920 --> 01:30:35,160
Speaker 1: was kind of consulted a little bit on the old

1775
01:30:35,240 --> 01:30:38,360
Speaker 1: k gun offense and what might benefit Josh in terms

1776
01:30:38,400 --> 01:30:40,880
Speaker 1: of plays from that system, and now they're hearing that

1777
01:30:40,920 --> 01:30:43,760
Speaker 1: Brian Dable at times is giving him the opportunity to

1778
01:30:43,880 --> 01:30:47,360
Speaker 1: call some plays. Josh described it as a fail safe

1779
01:30:47,439 --> 01:30:50,839
Speaker 1: exercise in the event that the communication system in Josh's

1780
01:30:50,880 --> 01:30:53,000
Speaker 1: helmet goes down so Dabel can't talk to him, that

1781
01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:56,000
Speaker 1: he could be out there and capably call his own plays.

1782
01:30:56,120 --> 01:30:59,360
Speaker 1: Some people are obviously suspecting more than that. I don't

1783
01:30:59,400 --> 01:31:01,280
Speaker 1: know if that's something that you put on the plate

1784
01:31:01,360 --> 01:31:03,880
Speaker 1: of a second year quarterback. I'm not going to debate

1785
01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:06,360
Speaker 1: for a second that Josh knows this offense inside and out,

1786
01:31:06,400 --> 01:31:08,720
Speaker 1: but to go that far, I think might be a

1787
01:31:08,880 --> 01:31:12,400
Speaker 1: little bit premature, even with all the positive signs that

1788
01:31:12,640 --> 01:31:15,560
Speaker 1: Josh is showing. We're gonna take a break here, but

1789
01:31:15,600 --> 01:31:17,519
Speaker 1: I'll answer more of your questions in the next hour.

1790
01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:20,080
Speaker 1: At some point we also have coming up on the

1791
01:31:20,160 --> 01:31:22,479
Speaker 1: other side of the top of the hour, Hall of

Speaker 1: Fame quarterback Jim Kelly, who was also on the show

1793
01:31:25,960 --> 01:31:29,240
Speaker 1: recently had a lot of interesting comments about Josh, where

1794
01:31:29,360 --> 01:31:32,000
Speaker 1: the team's going, and some of what he is up to.

1795
01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:34,680
Speaker 1: We'll get to Jim on the other side. This is

1829
01:33:32,280 --> 01:33:34,439
Speaker 1: hurt you today, old man. Let me start. Can I

1830
01:33:34,479 --> 01:33:36,320
Speaker 1: get started with us? Because we just had Eji EJ

1831
01:33:36,439 --> 01:33:39,000
Speaker 1: Manuel And when I was talking and I thought, you

1832
01:33:39,120 --> 01:33:40,880
Speaker 1: kind of got started that way just off the field,

1833
01:33:40,880 --> 01:33:42,640
Speaker 1: and you got started at ESPN kind of similar in

1834
01:33:42,720 --> 01:33:45,320
Speaker 1: a studio show, which is similar what EJ's getting started

1835
01:33:45,320 --> 01:33:47,760
Speaker 1: with the ACC Network. Yeah, my first I think my

1836
01:33:47,880 --> 01:33:50,840
Speaker 1: first time I worked with NBC, I was yeah, doing

1837
01:33:50,920 --> 01:33:54,000
Speaker 1: as an analysts like Chevy did for so many years.

1838
01:33:54,160 --> 01:33:58,040
Speaker 1: And uh and then when CBS, I think it was, yeah,

1839
01:33:58,479 --> 01:34:01,760
Speaker 1: got dropped. No, NBC got rocked. I wind up going

1840
01:34:01,880 --> 01:34:05,680
Speaker 1: to ESPN working with Chris Berman, Tom Jackson them, and uh,

1841
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:10,200
Speaker 1: what a great time was. But um, it's worked. It's

1842
01:34:10,240 --> 01:34:12,120
Speaker 1: a lot of work. They told me when I first

1843
01:34:12,200 --> 01:34:15,639
Speaker 1: got there, they said, you know what, come in on Saturday,

1844
01:34:15,760 --> 01:34:17,559
Speaker 1: we got to meet you, do the show on Sunday,

1845
01:34:17,600 --> 01:34:20,960
Speaker 1: you go home. I'm like, great, No, No, it's all

1846
01:34:21,080 --> 01:34:24,600
Speaker 1: we traveling here interviewing this guy, calling this guy and

1847
01:34:24,720 --> 01:34:28,280
Speaker 1: being a pain everybody's butts. Uh to get these interviews

1848
01:34:28,320 --> 01:34:30,600
Speaker 1: because a lot of times you're calling people from the

1849
01:34:30,640 --> 01:34:33,559
Speaker 1: West coast. It's midnight, one o'clock in the morning here

1850
01:34:33,560 --> 01:34:35,720
Speaker 1: and you're calling you out there ten o'clock because that's

1851
01:34:35,760 --> 01:34:38,640
Speaker 1: when they get home or whatever. So, uh, that was

1852
01:34:39,080 --> 01:34:41,519
Speaker 1: something that I will never do again. Yeah, yeah, it's

1853
01:34:41,520 --> 01:34:43,800
Speaker 1: a it's a it's a different world. It is. It

1854
01:34:43,960 --> 01:34:45,920
Speaker 1: is a different world. And I was gonna ask you

1855
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:49,680
Speaker 1: too about we were talking yesterday about you and I

1856
01:34:49,760 --> 01:34:53,160
Speaker 1: said that, you know, back early in your career, I

1857
01:34:53,280 --> 01:34:54,680
Speaker 1: had I gotta say this to you. I called you

1858
01:34:54,760 --> 01:34:56,840
Speaker 1: a jackass because you had a lot to learn right

1859
01:34:57,000 --> 01:35:00,040
Speaker 1: here yesterday called you a jackass and sounds familiar. I

1860
01:35:00,479 --> 01:35:02,439
Speaker 1: call and I told him, I said, LAB called it worse.

1861
01:35:02,880 --> 01:35:05,760
Speaker 1: But by the same token, you've come full thicking. I

1862
01:35:05,800 --> 01:35:07,599
Speaker 1: gotta ask you, how are you feeling? I feel pretty

1863
01:35:07,600 --> 01:35:09,640
Speaker 1: good because everybody asked me, so I don't have to

1864
01:35:09,640 --> 01:35:11,400
Speaker 1: answer the question anymore. You can ask it for yourself.

1865
01:35:11,600 --> 01:35:14,200
Speaker 1: How you're feeling good. I'm feeling good. Yep, everything on

1866
01:35:14,360 --> 01:35:17,559
Speaker 1: my chests weren't good, and um, yeah, I feel pretty

1867
01:35:17,640 --> 01:35:19,519
Speaker 1: dub like you on your Jefford morning. You walk a

1868
01:35:19,560 --> 01:35:22,640
Speaker 1: little slower right, see right, So we're hobbling around the

1869
01:35:22,680 --> 01:35:25,360
Speaker 1: studio just between breaks and you're coming up on your

1870
01:35:25,680 --> 01:35:28,799
Speaker 1: thirty third annual this last weekend Jim Kelly Golf Tournament,

1871
01:35:29,320 --> 01:35:33,360
Speaker 1: thirty second annual Jim Kelly Football Camp. Yeah, coming up.

1872
01:35:33,960 --> 01:35:36,960
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. You know what if I had when I

1873
01:35:37,240 --> 01:35:39,800
Speaker 1: you know, started it, Never in a million years I

1874
01:35:39,920 --> 01:35:42,040
Speaker 1: thought that it would be coming up on that. I yeah,

1875
01:35:42,080 --> 01:35:45,120
Speaker 1: you shoot for goals ten and twenty, But I can't

1876
01:35:45,160 --> 01:35:47,559
Speaker 1: believe that thirty three golf term which we just had,

1877
01:35:47,640 --> 01:35:51,400
Speaker 1: which makes such a huge difference for Western New York charities.

1878
01:35:51,439 --> 01:35:54,080
Speaker 1: I think this year we're probably gonna be handed out

1879
01:35:54,520 --> 01:35:57,920
Speaker 1: two hundred soap and Western you charities probably shoot for

1880
01:35:57,960 --> 01:36:01,760
Speaker 1: over three hundred thousand dollars. And that's the handout. And

1881
01:36:01,880 --> 01:36:03,639
Speaker 1: the bottom line is when we get to a football

1882
01:36:03,680 --> 01:36:06,160
Speaker 1: camp equip But you know, when I travel, when we

1883
01:36:06,439 --> 01:36:09,320
Speaker 1: go over you know, to meet some of the charities,

1884
01:36:09,720 --> 01:36:12,280
Speaker 1: we have to lunch at the Illio Apollos and we

1885
01:36:12,479 --> 01:36:15,840
Speaker 1: invite all of the recipients of the money over there

1886
01:36:16,240 --> 01:36:19,280
Speaker 1: and we allow five people every year, different groups to

1887
01:36:19,400 --> 01:36:22,479
Speaker 1: come up and share about their charity and what it means.

1888
01:36:23,200 --> 01:36:25,920
Speaker 1: And when you are there in your listening and you

1889
01:36:26,040 --> 01:36:28,720
Speaker 1: have some of the people that are in charge of

1890
01:36:28,840 --> 01:36:33,040
Speaker 1: that particular foundation break down and cry because they're getting

1891
01:36:33,080 --> 01:36:35,840
Speaker 1: a check for five thousand dollars. Then you realize why

1892
01:36:35,920 --> 01:36:39,919
Speaker 1: you're doing it. And that affects me because I understand

1893
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:42,880
Speaker 1: why we're doing it. Unfortunately, I wish from my standpoint

1894
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:47,200
Speaker 1: having a son who battle through and the illness, and

1895
01:36:47,479 --> 01:36:50,160
Speaker 1: I was looking down on us now, but I get it.

1896
01:36:50,280 --> 01:36:52,040
Speaker 1: And being able to do that and make the money

1897
01:36:52,120 --> 01:36:53,840
Speaker 1: we do and the people here in Western New York

1898
01:36:53,880 --> 01:36:57,519
Speaker 1: is unbelievable and I just love doing that. And then

1899
01:36:57,680 --> 01:37:00,640
Speaker 1: you talk about football camp thirty two years and we

1900
01:37:00,840 --> 01:37:03,519
Speaker 1: had a lot of them ready here at one Bills Driving.

1901
01:37:03,600 --> 01:37:06,880
Speaker 1: Of course, this year it's at Williamsville North because of construction.

1902
01:37:08,120 --> 01:37:10,679
Speaker 1: Oh my, it's gonna be awesome. It's gonna be awesome.

1903
01:37:10,800 --> 01:37:14,920
Speaker 1: But um, doing at Williamsville North. Their facilities are brand new.

1904
01:37:15,120 --> 01:37:19,040
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable high school and uh yeah, we're excited about it.

1905
01:37:19,120 --> 01:37:22,920
Speaker 1: It's from June twenty seventh through July first, and I'm

1906
01:37:22,960 --> 01:37:26,400
Speaker 1: always pumped. And um, we have a couple of guys. M.

1907
01:37:26,760 --> 01:37:30,240
Speaker 1: Harrison is gonna be Phillip Harrison. Phillips is going to

1908
01:37:30,280 --> 01:37:33,320
Speaker 1: be there, and um Ken Dorsey, who was a former

1909
01:37:33,400 --> 01:37:37,000
Speaker 1: Miami Hurricane now is the Bill's coach and he pretty

1910
01:37:37,080 --> 01:37:39,479
Speaker 1: much holds the saw all the records at Miami, so

1911
01:37:40,000 --> 01:37:41,880
Speaker 1: he didn't have to worry about break of mind the

1912
01:37:42,240 --> 01:37:45,200
Speaker 1: first quarterback after me broke all my records. But uh,

1913
01:37:45,760 --> 01:37:48,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be excited. I can't. I can't wait of

1914
01:37:48,200 --> 01:37:50,639
Speaker 1: fame quarterback Jim Kelly. But it's on the golf tournament weekend.

1915
01:37:50,680 --> 01:37:52,479
Speaker 1: And I was there Sunday night and it struck me

1916
01:37:52,760 --> 01:37:55,080
Speaker 1: Sunday Jim, Yes, you get all. You were there, all

1917
01:37:55,160 --> 01:37:57,600
Speaker 1: your former teammates, many of them, all kinds of celebrities.

1918
01:37:57,800 --> 01:37:59,880
Speaker 1: And yet you got hundreds of volunteers who've been there

1919
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:02,240
Speaker 1: every year pretty much doing a lot of good work.

1920
01:38:02,280 --> 01:38:03,479
Speaker 1: I mean to look around the room and see the

1921
01:38:03,520 --> 01:38:06,080
Speaker 1: same faces selling raffle tickets and doing other things around

1922
01:38:06,080 --> 01:38:08,400
Speaker 1: the room, it's pretty cool. It's funny you say that

1923
01:38:08,520 --> 01:38:11,720
Speaker 1: because a lot of times and the people that have terms,

1924
01:38:11,760 --> 01:38:13,920
Speaker 1: and I know Steve knows this first, then you do

Speaker 1: mur because you've been through another term. The volunteers they

1926
01:38:17,680 --> 01:38:20,040
Speaker 1: don't get to know the oriety. But you cannot do

1927
01:38:20,120 --> 01:38:22,360

01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:49,640
Speaker 1: understand what it's all about. They want to be a

1975
01:40:49,760 --> 01:40:52,839
Speaker 1: part of it. So and bottom line, it goes to charity,

1976
01:40:53,240 --> 01:40:55,479
Speaker 1: and that is the biggest part of it all. And

1977
01:40:55,960 --> 01:40:58,639
Speaker 1: I just praying thank God every day for the people

1978
01:40:58,800 --> 01:41:00,679
Speaker 1: you have rag here in Western One of the reasons

1979
01:41:00,720 --> 01:41:03,000
Speaker 1: that it is so successful because you do auction off

1980
01:41:03,080 --> 01:41:04,800
Speaker 1: one of a kind things. It's not a jersey with

1981
01:41:05,160 --> 01:41:07,920
Speaker 1: not with a signature on, it's a that's an experience.

1982
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:10,400
Speaker 1: You give away hunts, you give away trips to Nappa,

1983
01:41:10,560 --> 01:41:13,559
Speaker 1: you give them away yourself just to NAPPA. You auction

1984
01:41:13,680 --> 01:41:16,040
Speaker 1: the trips with your family. And I think that's one

1985
01:41:16,040 --> 01:41:18,639
Speaker 1: of the things that's been unique about Kelly for Kids

1986
01:41:18,680 --> 01:41:21,560
Speaker 1: Foundation and Hunter's Hohope Foundation and all the things that

1987
01:41:21,640 --> 01:41:25,000
Speaker 1: you've done is that you and you're emotionally invested and

1988
01:41:25,120 --> 01:41:29,680
Speaker 1: you're once these people buy one of these things, it's

1989
01:41:29,720 --> 01:41:31,400
Speaker 1: not like, hey, thanks, we'll see you later. It's like

1990
01:41:31,479 --> 01:41:33,479
Speaker 1: they're part of the They're part of the extended family

1991
01:41:33,640 --> 01:41:36,719
Speaker 1: that that nineties Bills team. Now it's like five thousand

1992
01:41:36,800 --> 01:41:39,680
Speaker 1: people in it, and you're exactly right. The thing is,

1993
01:41:40,120 --> 01:41:42,040
Speaker 1: people will say, yeah, but you're getting a hunt for

1994
01:41:42,160 --> 01:41:44,320
Speaker 1: free and all that, or don't I go? You know what,

1995
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:47,519
Speaker 1: this time of my life, there's sometimes where I'd rather

1996
01:41:47,640 --> 01:41:50,000
Speaker 1: stay at home. But I understand when I go on

1997
01:41:50,120 --> 01:41:52,760
Speaker 1: these trips. Yeah, they're fun, but I'll tell you what.

1998
01:41:53,040 --> 01:41:56,439
Speaker 1: Staying at home it's fun. I enjoyed just for laughing

1999
01:41:56,560 --> 01:41:58,400
Speaker 1: every once in a while. But I'm not ready to

2000
01:41:58,439 --> 01:42:01,120
Speaker 1: do that yet. Because the first people out there that

2001
01:42:01,240 --> 01:42:03,479
Speaker 1: are willing to pay this amount to go on a

2002
01:42:03,560 --> 01:42:06,280
Speaker 1: trip with me or going a trip with Marino myself

2003
01:42:06,720 --> 01:42:10,240
Speaker 1: or Thurman and myself, Um, why not. If I'm if

2004
01:42:10,280 --> 01:42:12,360
Speaker 1: I'm healthy enough to do it, I'm gonna do it

2005
01:42:12,400 --> 01:42:14,280
Speaker 1: as long as I can. With Hall of Fame quarterback

2006
01:42:14,400 --> 01:42:16,360
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly, how do you get the commissioner up every

2007
01:42:16,400 --> 01:42:19,040
Speaker 1: couple of years or so, knowing then he comes up,

2008
01:42:19,040 --> 01:42:21,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna make news, he's gonna say something, everybody's gonna

2009
01:42:21,240 --> 01:42:23,160
Speaker 1: go crazy. He did it again this year. Yeah, Um,

2010
01:42:23,360 --> 01:42:26,760
Speaker 1: calm um. If he's not busy, which I know he

2011
01:42:26,840 --> 01:42:29,920
Speaker 1: always is. And even like this year, he said, Jim,

2012
01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:31,960
Speaker 1: if you want me there, I'm there. I can't make

2013
01:42:32,000 --> 01:42:34,040
Speaker 1: a Sunday night, but I can be there for golf.

2014
01:42:34,360 --> 01:42:36,200
Speaker 1: I go, well, I love too, but I get it

2015
01:42:36,280 --> 01:42:38,280
Speaker 1: if you can't. And he's been here a couple of

2016
01:42:38,439 --> 01:42:41,200
Speaker 1: years for him and just um, god blast him. Thank

2017
01:42:41,240 --> 01:42:42,880
Speaker 1: from him. You know what I do. He's got a

2018
01:42:43,160 --> 01:42:44,679
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of people don't like the commission,

2019
01:42:44,720 --> 01:42:46,080
Speaker 1: a lot of football fans. And I've known him for

2020
01:42:46,120 --> 01:42:47,920
Speaker 1: thirty years. You've known him for thirty or more years.

2021
01:42:48,200 --> 01:42:50,479
Speaker 1: He's a good, solid guy and I don't agree with

2022
01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:52,920
Speaker 1: everything he does, but people should know he's a quality guy.

2023
01:42:53,120 --> 01:42:56,080
Speaker 1: Of course, I agrees with everything Donald Trump does and

2024
01:42:56,360 --> 01:42:58,920
Speaker 1: James people love him, they don't, Yeah, exactly. And then

2025
01:42:59,080 --> 01:43:02,400
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell, Um, yeah, of course he is. Because he is.

2026
01:43:02,800 --> 01:43:05,880
Speaker 1: He has to adhere to what the owners say. And

2027
01:43:06,240 --> 01:43:09,479
Speaker 1: even though the public might not like that, I get it.

2028
01:43:09,880 --> 01:43:12,360
Speaker 1: Some players might not agree with what you but uh,

2029
01:43:12,600 --> 01:43:15,120
Speaker 1: he's been a solid guy from start to finish, and uh,

2030
01:43:15,400 --> 01:43:17,640
Speaker 1: I hope he should for many many more years. So

2031
01:43:17,760 --> 01:43:20,360
Speaker 1: you've got this camp coming up, thirty second annual. Do

2032
01:43:20,439 --> 01:43:25,479
Speaker 1: you remember anything about the first annual? A little bit there,

2033
01:43:25,560 --> 01:43:28,679
Speaker 1: but I don't. We did it in Saint Bonaventure University

2034
01:43:28,720 --> 01:43:31,120
Speaker 1: for a first couple of years in Orient, Yeah, and

2035
01:43:31,439 --> 01:43:34,040
Speaker 1: there was I think it was like fifteen hundred on

2036
01:43:34,160 --> 01:43:37,200
Speaker 1: first camp, fifteen hundred on second camp, and a second

2037
01:43:37,280 --> 01:43:40,519
Speaker 1: camp started like two days later. So I had like

2038
01:43:40,600 --> 01:43:43,960
Speaker 1: Boomera size and Marino, those guys come to my camp,

2039
01:43:44,360 --> 01:43:47,200
Speaker 1: you know, Warren. And it was weird how you look

2040
01:43:47,280 --> 01:43:49,800
Speaker 1: back at it. And you did it overnight camp, so

2041
01:43:49,960 --> 01:43:53,679
Speaker 1: you're responsible for everybody knows dorms and that was talk.

2042
01:43:53,800 --> 01:43:56,280
Speaker 1: It was a sleepover camp. Both talking about a camp.

2043
01:43:56,360 --> 01:43:58,320
Speaker 1: It was a camp. These the kids showed up on

2044
01:43:58,439 --> 01:44:00,800
Speaker 1: like a Monday or Sunday after noon and they didn't

2045
01:44:00,800 --> 01:44:03,280
Speaker 1: get picked up till Friday afternoon. And you're babysitting there.

2046
01:44:05,120 --> 01:44:08,000
Speaker 1: Had like you did. You had like young football coaches

2047
01:44:08,080 --> 01:44:11,080
Speaker 1: who would grab they'd have twelve kids the whole week,

2048
01:44:11,520 --> 01:44:14,160
Speaker 1: eat with them, sleep in the dorm with them, yep,

2049
01:44:14,720 --> 01:44:18,000
Speaker 1: take care of them, check Ben, check them, the whole

2050
01:44:18,120 --> 01:44:20,640
Speaker 1: nine yards. And it was what an operation it was.

2051
01:44:20,720 --> 01:44:23,000
Speaker 1: And that was like from day one. That was day

2052
01:44:23,080 --> 01:44:25,040
Speaker 1: one and it didn't take me very long to realize.

2053
01:44:25,040 --> 01:44:26,880
Speaker 1: I didn't want to do that for thirty two years,

2054
01:44:27,840 --> 01:44:30,240
Speaker 1: but it was fun. The biggest part for me that

2055
01:44:30,479 --> 01:44:33,760
Speaker 1: I love about my football camps, as you see, being

2056
01:44:33,800 --> 01:44:36,639
Speaker 1: able to go out there and play your flag football

2057
01:44:36,640 --> 01:44:38,880
Speaker 1: with your kids and be able to throw. I can't

2058
01:44:39,080 --> 01:44:41,160
Speaker 1: do as much as I used to do. I don't

2059
01:44:41,360 --> 01:44:45,160
Speaker 1: play with the seniors anymore. I watched a lot, but

2060
01:44:45,360 --> 01:44:46,800
Speaker 1: I used to be out there and I used to

2061
01:44:46,840 --> 01:44:48,720
Speaker 1: compete and they always wanted to see that. You know,

2062
01:44:48,760 --> 01:44:50,280
Speaker 1: how good of an arm I still have. But I

2063
01:44:50,320 --> 01:44:51,960
Speaker 1: haven't been able to do that in a while. But

2064
01:44:52,120 --> 01:44:55,759
Speaker 1: the little kids, I just love going out there throwing

2065
01:44:55,880 --> 01:44:58,240
Speaker 1: touched on pass. You try to make sure you give

2066
01:44:58,280 --> 01:45:00,680
Speaker 1: the ball it's a seven play drive and not a

2067
01:45:00,920 --> 01:45:03,120
Speaker 1: two placers. There's five other kids that won't get a

2068
01:45:03,240 --> 01:45:05,519
Speaker 1: pass from me, so I try to work it in

2069
01:45:05,680 --> 01:45:08,120
Speaker 1: here and there. But that's the part I love. But

2070
01:45:08,240 --> 01:45:11,040
Speaker 1: the biggest part to let you guys know that I

2071
01:45:11,160 --> 01:45:15,160
Speaker 1: get the more thank you very much as our chalk

2072
01:45:15,240 --> 01:45:18,280
Speaker 1: talks from Tasher you've done. I don't know how many

2073
01:45:18,760 --> 01:45:22,120
Speaker 1: Mark Kelso has done them. I mean this year we got,

2074
01:45:22,720 --> 01:45:25,720
Speaker 1: of course Harrison doing it. We have Kenn Georgsey do it.

2075
01:45:25,800 --> 01:45:28,559
Speaker 1: I do it every year, but to have the parents

2076
01:45:28,640 --> 01:45:31,680
Speaker 1: sit in on those chalk talks and listen to what

2077
01:45:31,880 --> 01:45:34,920
Speaker 1: we have to say. It's all about football, it's about

2078
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:37,200
Speaker 1: life and what you're doing, and what these kids have

2079
01:45:37,320 --> 01:45:39,720
Speaker 1: to look forward to, and what these kids have to

2080
01:45:39,800 --> 01:45:42,720
Speaker 1: look out for. And my favorite saying is you are

2081
01:45:42,800 --> 01:45:45,200
Speaker 1: who you hang with. Show me your friends and I'll

2082
01:45:45,200 --> 01:45:47,519
Speaker 1: show you your future. And your future is not very

2083
01:45:47,640 --> 01:45:49,880
Speaker 1: bright if you hang it around with the wrong kids.

2084
01:45:49,960 --> 01:45:53,400
Speaker 1: So it's something that the parents love, and it's all

2085
01:45:53,400 --> 01:45:55,800
Speaker 1: about the attitude. It starts at home with mom and dad.

2086
01:45:55,840 --> 01:45:57,800
Speaker 1: And that's why I tell all the parents are sitting

2087
01:45:57,840 --> 01:46:00,880
Speaker 1: in the audience, it starts at home with mom and dad.

2088
01:46:01,080 --> 01:46:03,920
Speaker 1: I got a friend from Lexington, Kentucky whose son is

2089
01:46:03,920 --> 01:46:05,800
Speaker 1: twenty years so now, but ten years ago his son

2090
01:46:05,920 --> 01:46:08,080
Speaker 1: came here year after year after year. You got a

2091
01:46:08,120 --> 01:46:10,280
Speaker 1: lot of repeat the campers, right, people just love it

2092
01:46:10,360 --> 01:46:12,599
Speaker 1: up here. Oh yeah, and also I got had them

2093
01:46:12,840 --> 01:46:16,120
Speaker 1: grown Cowstree brothers. I don't think Rob ever made against

2094
01:46:16,160 --> 01:46:21,240
Speaker 1: campers as campers and uh also, um the camper that

2095
01:46:21,400 --> 01:46:23,160
Speaker 1: just was a quarterback for you to be a couple

2096
01:46:23,200 --> 01:46:28,000
Speaker 1: of years ago Um, yep, he was here. Um yeah,

2097
01:46:28,400 --> 01:46:30,880
Speaker 1: Joe Yeah, and Joe tent back all the time. And

2098
01:46:31,120 --> 01:46:34,559
Speaker 1: also Tony Dorshet's son, Anthony dorget was here. I can

2099
01:46:34,680 --> 01:46:37,120
Speaker 1: name a couple of off top of my head. No,

2100
01:46:37,800 --> 01:46:39,719
Speaker 1: but I've had a number of go to the NFL,

2101
01:46:39,760 --> 01:46:41,920
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying I'm the derision, but it's pretty

2102
01:46:41,960 --> 01:46:44,360
Speaker 1: cool that they get to come to my camp experience

2103
01:46:44,439 --> 01:46:48,000
Speaker 1: what I you know, what I do, and hopefully succeed. Remember,

2104
01:46:48,040 --> 01:46:50,479
Speaker 1: remind you it's gonna be at Williamsville North High School

2105
01:46:50,520 --> 01:46:52,960
Speaker 1: in Buffalo because we've got all kinds of construction. It

2106
01:46:53,040 --> 01:46:55,360
Speaker 1: just wasn't going to allow you to have the facilities

2107
01:46:55,400 --> 01:46:57,919
Speaker 1: the way you need him. How many campers do you expect?

2108
01:46:58,600 --> 01:47:00,639
Speaker 1: You know, ball, I know it's not finny seeing romans

2109
01:47:00,680 --> 01:47:03,559
Speaker 1: still open. Yep, we have probably close to four hundred.

2110
01:47:03,600 --> 01:47:05,760
Speaker 1: Now when we do it here at stadium we get

2111
01:47:05,760 --> 01:47:08,320
Speaker 1: about five fifty something like that. But again we still

2112
01:47:08,320 --> 01:47:10,840
Speaker 1: have a couple more weeks centers all the time, it's

2113
01:47:10,880 --> 01:47:14,519
Speaker 1: probably fifty to seventy five. Always at the last minute anyways,

2114
01:47:15,240 --> 01:47:18,360
Speaker 1: because of school and different things going on. But hopefully

2115
01:47:18,600 --> 01:47:21,200
Speaker 1: we'll have somewhere around four to fifty this year. But uh,

2116
01:47:21,560 --> 01:47:26,000
Speaker 1: those are kids whatever. If we got two and for

2117
01:47:26,120 --> 01:47:28,680
Speaker 1: the bulk of it, they're all Buffalo kids. No, I

2118
01:47:28,800 --> 01:47:35,720
Speaker 1: got it, Baltam. Yes, but we give kids from Seattle, Washington, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Florida, Kentucky.

2119
01:47:36,280 --> 01:47:39,120
Speaker 1: Um yeah, candle out of across the border, which is

2120
01:47:39,120 --> 01:47:41,680
Speaker 1: pretty cool. So yeah, we're getting from everywhere you get.

2121
01:47:41,760 --> 01:47:44,280
Speaker 1: The thing I noticed about your your camp from the

2122
01:47:44,400 --> 01:47:46,960
Speaker 1: very beginning, um, and I guess this is a reflection

2123
01:47:46,960 --> 01:47:49,000
Speaker 1: of you two is most camps, they'll get out there

2124
01:47:49,000 --> 01:47:51,160
Speaker 1: and they'll run kids through drills, they'll be doing stuff

2125
01:47:51,200 --> 01:47:53,400

2128
01:48:00,120 --> 01:48:03,599

2160
01:49:26,040 --> 01:49:29,519
Speaker 1: have a you know, one of your Josh Allen Shaw

2161
01:49:29,640 --> 01:49:32,479

2163
01:49:35,960 --> 01:49:37,640

2164
01:49:37,680 --> 01:49:40,400
Speaker 1: you'll across the league. You can't have a Tom Brady

2165
01:49:40,520 --> 01:49:43,160
Speaker 1: go down. You must just super Bowls gone, you know, goodbye.

2166
01:49:43,560 --> 01:49:46,280
Speaker 1: There's certain players you have to keep healthy. And I

2167
01:49:46,400 --> 01:49:48,960
Speaker 1: know we've been hit with the injury buck a lot,

2168
01:49:49,160 --> 01:49:51,760
Speaker 1: but I love what I see. I love what coach

2169
01:49:51,840 --> 01:49:54,160
Speaker 1: mcdermots doing, Brandon being out there. He's doing a great

2170
01:49:54,240 --> 01:49:58,360
Speaker 1: job on what he's doing so far. So time will retell.

2171
01:49:58,360 --> 01:50:00,400
Speaker 1: It's hard to predict this time of year, you know

2172
01:50:00,479 --> 01:50:02,679
Speaker 1: what what you like. But I've been to practices, I've

2173
01:50:02,680 --> 01:50:06,439
Speaker 1: seen it, and all love it. Yeah, we murphys forever

2174
01:50:06,640 --> 01:50:08,599
Speaker 1: trying to get me to pump the brakes on mine.

2175
01:50:08,600 --> 01:50:12,280
Speaker 1: I am like the most optimistic guy. I am just

2176
01:50:12,360 --> 01:50:15,680
Speaker 1: like I am so big on this group, you know.

2177
01:50:15,840 --> 01:50:19,360
Speaker 1: And we watched Josh and and we watched him play

2178
01:50:19,479 --> 01:50:21,800
Speaker 1: last year. And you saw it too, the last half

2179
01:50:21,840 --> 01:50:25,439
Speaker 1: a last season. And I'm not saying it just because

2180
01:50:25,439 --> 01:50:26,880
Speaker 1: I saw him a lot and all that, because I

2181
01:50:26,960 --> 01:50:29,200
Speaker 1: was traveling around watching other players play around the league.

2182
01:50:29,240 --> 01:50:31,040
Speaker 1: I thought he was the most compelling player in the

2183
01:50:31,160 --> 01:50:33,559
Speaker 1: league to watch because of what he did with his legs.

2184
01:50:33,560 --> 01:50:35,080
Speaker 1: A lot of it he'd took off and he was

2185
01:50:35,439 --> 01:50:38,240
Speaker 1: he was a wrecking crew. But he in certain games

2186
01:50:38,280 --> 01:50:39,640
Speaker 1: in the last half of that season, he was the

2187
01:50:39,720 --> 01:50:42,559
Speaker 1: best player on the field for either team. And man,

2188
01:50:42,680 --> 01:50:46,640
Speaker 1: you just had to watch him to that because his

2189
01:50:46,880 --> 01:50:49,920
Speaker 1: excitement that you showed later on because you almost cantality

2190
01:50:50,120 --> 01:50:52,960
Speaker 1: started to get more confidence. Remember she was a rookie,

2191
01:50:53,439 --> 01:50:56,320
Speaker 1: but as she went on, you just imagine him two

2192
01:50:56,439 --> 01:50:59,680
Speaker 1: through year, dine Road. If he has the same coordinator

2193
01:51:00,040 --> 01:51:02,679
Speaker 1: year after year, you have to have it. When talking

2194
01:51:02,680 --> 01:51:04,080
Speaker 1: to Tom Brady, you said that was one of the

2195
01:51:04,120 --> 01:51:06,200
Speaker 1: big things you have to send coaches all the time.

2196
01:51:06,320 --> 01:51:09,360
Speaker 1: So I'm excited what I see. I love what I

2197
01:51:09,479 --> 01:51:11,960
Speaker 1: see from him, the athletic ability he has. I just

2198
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:14,799
Speaker 1: hope he doesn't do too much confidence in that ability.

2199
01:51:14,960 --> 01:51:17,040
Speaker 1: He has to make the big play all the time,

2200
01:51:17,160 --> 01:51:19,800
Speaker 1: knowing when you have to get down, when you have

2201
01:51:19,920 --> 01:51:23,000
Speaker 1: to go out of bound, it's just ten extra yards

2202
01:51:23,160 --> 01:51:26,080
Speaker 1: worth it, right now, get down first and ten let

2203
01:51:26,120 --> 01:51:28,479
Speaker 1: us go for it. Butta, I love what I see,

2204
01:51:28,560 --> 01:51:30,439
Speaker 1: especially with his arms. So we've had we've had people

2205
01:51:30,640 --> 01:51:32,719
Speaker 1: chiming in about, you know, all the stuff that's going

2206
01:51:32,800 --> 01:51:34,920
Speaker 1: on everything Jack and I said this, I said it

2207
01:51:35,040 --> 01:51:36,800
Speaker 1: yesterday and I've been saying it for a long time.

2208
01:51:37,640 --> 01:51:39,760
Speaker 1: If you look back at the offense you ran, it

2209
01:51:39,840 --> 01:51:41,439
Speaker 1: was different in a lot of ways. And you were

2210
01:51:41,439 --> 01:51:42,880
Speaker 1: sitting here when I was talking a little bit ago.

2211
01:51:42,960 --> 01:51:45,720
Speaker 1: You had four Hall of famers on the field when

2212
01:51:45,760 --> 01:51:47,560
Speaker 1: you were taking snaps at the height of that k

2213
01:51:47,760 --> 01:51:50,920
Speaker 1: gun was James Lofton, Andre Reid, You and Thurman and

2214
01:51:51,120 --> 01:51:53,200
Speaker 1: plus the you know guys who you and I think

2215
01:51:53,360 --> 01:51:54,920
Speaker 1: should be like Ken Hall, should be in the Hall

2216
01:51:54,960 --> 01:51:58,200
Speaker 1: of Fame. There were those kind of guys. It was

2217
01:51:58,240 --> 01:52:00,439
Speaker 1: as much the guys as it was the kind of

2218
01:52:00,520 --> 01:52:02,600
Speaker 1: offense you were running. In a lot of respects that

2219
01:52:02,680 --> 01:52:05,200
Speaker 1: made it so successful. It was him. We get over

2220
01:52:05,400 --> 01:52:07,840
Speaker 1: and over and over. You I'm talking when I shot over,

2221
01:52:07,920 --> 01:52:09,840
Speaker 1: I mean year after year after year. I had the

2222
01:52:09,920 --> 01:52:13,479
Speaker 1: same game involved over long periods of time, and everybody

2223
01:52:13,600 --> 01:52:17,080
Speaker 1: knew our system, but they I just I always chase Steve.

2224
01:52:17,080 --> 01:52:18,800
Speaker 1: I always talked about no I was brushed to. I

2225
01:52:18,800 --> 01:52:22,160
Speaker 1: have James blows from Andre Reid. I had Thermatas behind me,

2226
01:52:22,400 --> 01:52:25,680
Speaker 1: and I had Ken Hall, who would all think, due

2227
01:52:25,760 --> 01:52:28,439
Speaker 1: time down the road will be there. But then you

2228
01:52:28,960 --> 01:52:31,160
Speaker 1: start looking. My hat goes off through a guy like

2229
01:52:31,280 --> 01:52:34,600
Speaker 1: Marv Levy allowing me to call the players. But I

2230
01:52:34,680 --> 01:52:38,200
Speaker 1: had Ted Marsher Broda and Frank also during the TORTI

2231
01:52:38,400 --> 01:52:42,559
Speaker 1: gave prep. You're talked coaches party is three head coaches.

2232
01:52:42,600 --> 01:52:45,160
Speaker 1: Teddy marsha brother is a very successful head coach, Marv

2233
01:52:45,280 --> 01:52:47,120
Speaker 1: Levy obviously is a Hall of Fame head coach, and

2234
01:52:47,200 --> 01:52:51,080
Speaker 1: Frank is now a head coach. Three head coaches in

2235
01:52:51,200 --> 01:52:53,719
Speaker 1: your ear. And the thing is the good thing about

2236
01:52:53,840 --> 01:52:56,439
Speaker 1: when I was with Frank is when I would come

2237
01:52:56,479 --> 01:52:59,600
Speaker 1: off the field, he knew when to talk with me

2238
01:52:59,760 --> 01:53:02,800
Speaker 1: and he knew when to just get away. And the

2239
01:53:03,080 --> 01:53:05,240
Speaker 1: best thing about us is Frank and I would talk

2240
01:53:05,280 --> 01:53:07,200
Speaker 1: before we talk to Ted Marshall brow to dooring the

2241
01:53:07,280 --> 01:53:10,599
Speaker 1: course of our our Wednesday media and the first plays

2242
01:53:10,640 --> 01:53:13,200
Speaker 1: that we thought should beginner put him in first plays

2243
01:53:13,240 --> 01:53:15,439
Speaker 1: that we don't like. Get him monitor because I'm not

2244
01:53:15,479 --> 01:53:17,600
Speaker 1: going to call that. But the biggest thing for me,

2245
01:53:17,840 --> 01:53:20,960
Speaker 1: and I'm telling it like it is for coach Sleeve

2246
01:53:21,120 --> 01:53:23,479
Speaker 1: to put his job security on the line, allow me

2247
01:53:23,640 --> 01:53:28,000
Speaker 1: to call the players if if I was unsuccessful. There

2248
01:53:28,080 --> 01:53:30,880
Speaker 1: was nobody to brain recept the head coach in the quarterbacks.

2249
01:53:31,200 --> 01:53:33,360
Speaker 1: But I loved that part. But I also knew I

2250
01:53:33,439 --> 01:53:35,160
Speaker 1: had a romni and I loved it. And you know

2251
01:53:35,280 --> 01:53:38,160
Speaker 1: how my life has been rocket, Let's go, let's go,

2252
01:53:38,360 --> 01:53:40,840
Speaker 1: let's go. That's my life off the field too, And

2253
01:53:41,200 --> 01:53:43,360
Speaker 1: I just loved the way we did it. And I

2254
01:53:43,400 --> 01:53:45,639
Speaker 1: don't mean to. You know. The thing is I've always

2255
01:53:45,680 --> 01:53:48,000
Speaker 1: wanted him to be one of my receivers. And I

2256
01:53:48,080 --> 01:53:51,400
Speaker 1: can remember Bruce say behaved every year. You're messing with

2257
01:53:51,560 --> 01:53:55,680

2264
01:54:16,040 --> 01:54:19,720
Speaker 1: the Rams in St. Louis rights the Rams when we

2265
01:54:19,760 --> 01:54:21,920
Speaker 1: couldn't fly back into Buffalo because of the snowstorm, we

2266
01:54:22,160 --> 01:54:24,880
Speaker 1: landed at Niagara Falls. I remember beat the Rams in

2267
01:54:25,000 --> 01:54:27,719
Speaker 1: Saint That was when the Rams were in Saint Louis,

2268
01:54:28,400 --> 01:54:31,720
Speaker 1: and uh, that was great game, fun game and I

2269
01:54:31,880 --> 01:54:35,080
Speaker 1: and I was telling you I had one real screw

2270
01:54:35,200 --> 01:54:37,400
Speaker 1: up in that game that I remember. We had this

2271
01:54:37,480 --> 01:54:39,080
Speaker 1: and I can't remember the play now, but we had

2272
01:54:39,120 --> 01:54:40,720
Speaker 1: called it earlier in the game and you said, hey,

2273
01:54:40,840 --> 01:54:43,440
Speaker 1: don't do that, do this just as a side. So

2274
01:54:43,520 --> 01:54:46,400
Speaker 1: we did it. We completed it. It was a good play.

2275
01:54:46,720 --> 01:54:49,080
Speaker 1: So you came back the next called it later in

2276
01:54:49,120 --> 01:54:51,280
Speaker 1: the game the same way. But you didn't give me

2277
01:54:51,320 --> 01:54:53,320
Speaker 1: the extra thing. But I did the extra thing anyway,

2278
01:54:54,360 --> 01:54:58,960
Speaker 1: and you got whacked. You weren't happy. Hello, I didn't.

2279
01:54:59,160 --> 01:55:01,240
Speaker 1: I would have caught another touch down pass though if

2280
01:55:01,280 --> 01:55:02,560
Speaker 1: I would have donne the right thing, I would have

2281
01:55:02,600 --> 01:55:05,400
Speaker 1: caught another. Well, well here's the bottom. You know. I'm

2282
01:55:05,480 --> 01:55:07,920
Speaker 1: twenty three years later. I think he apologized twenty two Yeah,

2283
01:55:07,920 --> 01:55:11,680
Speaker 1: I really, yeah, on everybody heard that right, but no,

2284
01:55:12,520 --> 01:55:14,720
Speaker 1: he was like the rot run. We talked about rot

2285
01:55:14,880 --> 01:55:16,800
Speaker 1: run getting off the line of scrimmage. And that's why

2286
01:55:17,360 --> 01:55:19,720
Speaker 1: Steve was so good a special team because it took

2287
01:55:19,760 --> 01:55:22,560
Speaker 1: two or three people to stop him before he got

2288
01:55:22,600 --> 01:55:25,280
Speaker 1: to the kick return, which is what you want. And

2289
01:55:25,480 --> 01:55:28,400
Speaker 1: for him, it was almost like the New England Patriots.

2290
01:55:28,440 --> 01:55:30,440
Speaker 1: They always have a little guy in the middle that

2291
01:55:30,560 --> 01:55:33,400
Speaker 1: can break away, and that was him. Yeah, he would

2292
01:55:33,440 --> 01:55:35,040
Speaker 1: be in the Hall of Fame if he was my

2293
01:55:35,240 --> 01:55:38,480
Speaker 1: wide receiver. I would have had three wide receivers in

2294
01:55:38,520 --> 01:55:42,800
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. All right, you certainly look cool

2295
01:55:42,840 --> 01:55:45,800
Speaker 1: with old glass, fun and game. So somebody loses an eye.

2296
01:55:46,880 --> 01:55:50,080
Speaker 1: Almost good today, Hey Jim, thanks for this, Thanks for

Speaker 1: you here on a Monday from One Bill's Drive. As

2329
01:57:26,320 --> 01:57:28,800
Speaker 1: we get to some of your questions that you're fired

2330
01:57:28,800 --> 01:57:31,120
Speaker 1: off to me, I welcome Denny and all questions regarding

2331
01:57:31,160 --> 01:57:34,600
Speaker 1: the Bill's roster, the coaching staff, etc. Etc. We're also

2332
01:57:34,720 --> 01:57:37,520
Speaker 1: doing the Twitter poll today. What will Josh Allen most

2333
01:57:37,600 --> 01:57:40,400
Speaker 1: likely do in his second NFL season? Will he throw

2334
01:57:40,480 --> 01:57:43,400
Speaker 1: for twenty or more touchdown passes have a fifty eight

2335
01:57:43,480 --> 01:57:47,200
Speaker 1: percent or better completion percentage? Will he rush for less

2336
01:57:47,280 --> 01:57:50,160
Speaker 1: than four hundred yards running less in his second season?

2337
01:57:50,560 --> 01:57:52,800
Speaker 1: Or will he throw for more than thirty seven hundred yards?

2338
01:57:52,880 --> 01:57:55,360
Speaker 1: Right now leading the way as twenty plus touchdown passes

2339
01:57:55,640 --> 01:57:58,080
Speaker 1: with about fifty two percent of the vote. We'll get

2340
01:57:58,080 --> 01:57:59,600
Speaker 1: to the tweet sheet in just a second, but for

2341
01:58:00,160 --> 01:58:04,080
Speaker 1: your questions, this one comes from Wandering Jack. How do

2342
01:58:04,160 --> 01:58:07,840
Speaker 1: you see the depth? The depth shaking out at defensive back?

2343
01:58:08,320 --> 01:58:12,520
Speaker 1: Obviously Payer Hide and Davious White will start. Who starts

2344
01:58:12,560 --> 01:58:15,400
Speaker 1: at the other cornerback spot and nickel? Do they keep

2345
01:58:15,440 --> 01:58:18,000
Speaker 1: five corners and four safeties? Do they keep ten total.

2346
01:58:18,440 --> 01:58:20,720
Speaker 1: Do bubble guys like Pitts and Neil who are good

2347
01:58:20,760 --> 01:58:22,760
Speaker 1: on special teams stick? Okay, I think there's about six

2348
01:58:22,920 --> 01:58:25,240
Speaker 1: questions in there, but we'll try to answer each one.

2349
01:58:26,040 --> 01:58:29,160
Speaker 1: First of all, I think it's going to be interesting

2350
01:58:29,320 --> 01:58:32,480
Speaker 1: in terms of the breakdown at the defensive back position

2351
01:58:32,840 --> 01:58:36,200
Speaker 1: because you have two guys with some measure of position flexibility,

2352
01:58:36,520 --> 01:58:39,880
Speaker 1: those being Raphael Bush and Saran Neil. Neil and Bush

2353
01:58:40,000 --> 01:58:43,839
Speaker 1: both work as kind of a nickel corner and also safety.

2354
01:58:43,960 --> 01:58:46,240
Speaker 1: But right now, after talking to Serran Neil, he told me,

2355
01:58:46,320 --> 01:58:49,880
Speaker 1: I'm focusing only on nickel corner right now. Now. Whether

2356
01:58:49,960 --> 01:58:52,160
Speaker 1: that shifts and changes when we get to training camp

2357
01:58:52,520 --> 01:58:55,440
Speaker 1: remains to be seen. But I think your locks for

2358
01:58:55,520 --> 01:58:59,960
Speaker 1: the roster are as follows true Davious White, Levi Wallace,

2359
01:59:01,440 --> 01:59:08,280
Speaker 1: Kevin Johnson, Tarren Johnson, and then Lafayette Pitts, Raphael Bush,

2360
01:59:09,480 --> 01:59:12,440
Speaker 1: Hide and Poyer, and then your bubble guys are really

2361
01:59:14,160 --> 01:59:16,880
Speaker 1: sirand Neil, E J. Gaines, and Jaquan Johnson. The sixth

2362
01:59:16,960 --> 01:59:19,480
Speaker 1: round pick Dean Marlow's on the list, but I just

2363
01:59:19,560 --> 01:59:21,000
Speaker 1: think he's going to be an odd man out in

2364
01:59:21,040 --> 01:59:24,160
Speaker 1: this situation, so they have to make a decision there

2365
01:59:24,280 --> 01:59:26,600
Speaker 1: if they want just a true safety in the rookie

2366
01:59:26,680 --> 01:59:30,240
Speaker 1: Jiquan Johnson, or do they want the more experienced extra

2367
01:59:30,320 --> 01:59:33,680
Speaker 1: corner in Gains. I think in an ideal world they

2368
01:59:33,760 --> 01:59:36,280
Speaker 1: keep six corners, four safeties, But you're gonna have to

2369
01:59:36,320 --> 01:59:38,400
Speaker 1: see how this shakes out with some of the things here.

2370
01:59:38,680 --> 01:59:41,400
Speaker 1: I think your nickel corner is probably tarn Johnson. I

2371
01:59:41,440 --> 01:59:44,000
Speaker 1: see him holding onto that. They're trying to bring Siran

2372
01:59:44,080 --> 01:59:46,920
Speaker 1: Neil up to speed at that position. But terrens looked

2373
01:59:46,960 --> 01:59:50,240
Speaker 1: good in a non contact capacity. I expect him to

2374
01:59:50,280 --> 01:59:52,200
Speaker 1: look even better once the pads go on, and I

2375
01:59:52,320 --> 01:59:56,360
Speaker 1: think he intimately understands that role in this defense after

2376
01:59:56,480 --> 01:59:58,960
Speaker 1: playing it there last year, even with a bad wing.

2377
01:59:59,360 --> 02:00:04,040
Speaker 1: So I kind of that shaking out that way. But

2378
02:00:04,280 --> 02:00:06,760
Speaker 1: Bush and Neil are going to make this an interesting

2379
02:00:06,840 --> 02:00:09,960
Speaker 1: position group because of their position flexibility. I think it's

2380
02:00:09,960 --> 02:00:13,680
Speaker 1: going to impact the coaching staff's decisions in terms of

2381
02:00:13,760 --> 02:00:16,400
Speaker 1: which direction they had and the breakdown in terms of

2382
02:00:16,480 --> 02:00:22,000
Speaker 1: cornerbacks to safeties. This question from Jimmy Callahan, have you

2383
02:00:22,160 --> 02:00:25,600
Speaker 1: seen anything out of Singletary? Really hope they find a

2384
02:00:25,680 --> 02:00:28,760
Speaker 1: way to involve him in a Darren Sprowles type role

2385
02:00:28,920 --> 02:00:31,360
Speaker 1: on offense. I don't know if it's going to be

2386
02:00:31,960 --> 02:00:34,920
Speaker 1: truly like a Sprowles role. I don't think if. I

2387
02:00:34,960 --> 02:00:38,360
Speaker 1: don't know if he has quite that explosiveness. If he did,

2388
02:00:38,440 --> 02:00:40,200
Speaker 1: I think he would have been a higher draft choice.

2389
02:00:40,800 --> 02:00:44,240
Speaker 1: But I was encouraged by what I saw in the

2390
02:00:44,320 --> 02:00:48,360
Speaker 1: mini camps and in the OTA practices, and with Frank

2391
02:00:48,440 --> 02:00:51,560
Speaker 1: Gore and Lashawn McCoy not taking a ton of reps

2392
02:00:51,960 --> 02:00:54,480
Speaker 1: in the spring, Singletary got more than his fair share

2393
02:00:54,960 --> 02:00:57,880
Speaker 1: of physical reps in the practice sessions. And I don't

2394
02:00:57,880 --> 02:01:00,440
Speaker 1: think he did anything to hurt himself. Didn't look like

2395
02:01:00,480 --> 02:01:02,360
Speaker 1: he didn't belong I mean he looked like he belonged,

2396
02:01:02,400 --> 02:01:04,800
Speaker 1: and he was comfortable in the setting. And I like

2397
02:01:04,960 --> 02:01:07,200
Speaker 1: his vision. You know, as Brandon Bean has talked about

2398
02:01:07,240 --> 02:01:09,680
Speaker 1: a lot, his vision is probably one of his greatest assets.

2399
02:01:10,280 --> 02:01:13,880
Speaker 1: And his shiftiness, his ability to bounce from one foot

2400
02:01:13,920 --> 02:01:16,760
Speaker 1: to the other, get in and out of breaks, to

2401
02:01:16,920 --> 02:01:19,760
Speaker 1: get through a quickly closing hole. I mean, he can

2402
02:01:19,800 --> 02:01:21,959
Speaker 1: do all those things, and I think his hands are underrated.

2403
02:01:22,640 --> 02:01:24,840
Speaker 1: So I think he will have a role. There will

2404
02:01:24,880 --> 02:01:26,920
Speaker 1: be a package of plays for him every week. Whether

2405
02:01:26,960 --> 02:01:30,040
Speaker 1: it looks like a Darren Sprowles role, though, I think

2406
02:01:30,160 --> 02:01:32,520
Speaker 1: remains to be seen. We'll have to see how that

2407
02:01:33,480 --> 02:01:38,440
Speaker 1: materializes in camp. Here's one on the offensive line. Who

2408
02:01:38,480 --> 02:01:41,280
Speaker 1: will be the starting five offensive line group. Will Kevin

2409
02:01:41,360 --> 02:01:44,920
Speaker 1: Johnson start opposite Trey White at cornerback? I think Kevin

2410
02:01:45,040 --> 02:01:48,040
Speaker 1: Johnson has to earn that, which he may very well

2411
02:01:48,120 --> 02:01:51,000
Speaker 1: do in training camp and the preseason, but he's got

2412
02:01:51,080 --> 02:01:55,320
Speaker 1: to outperform Levi Wallace. He can't perform as well as

2413
02:01:55,400 --> 02:01:58,320
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace. I'm always of the belief that if you

2414
02:01:58,400 --> 02:02:01,040
Speaker 1: have an incumbent and you have a challenger, that challenger

2415
02:02:01,120 --> 02:02:04,840
Speaker 1: has to clearly outperform the incumbent to unseat him from

2416
02:02:04,840 --> 02:02:07,760
Speaker 1: his starting job. And so that's the task at hand

2417
02:02:08,440 --> 02:02:11,240
Speaker 1: for Kevin Johnson. He certainly had an impressive spring, made

2418
02:02:11,280 --> 02:02:13,760
Speaker 1: a lot of plays on the ball, made a lot

2419
02:02:13,800 --> 02:02:18,160
Speaker 1: of takeaways also, and that counts in any defensive coach's book.

2420
02:02:18,760 --> 02:02:20,200
Speaker 1: But he's gonna have to do that when the pads

2421
02:02:20,280 --> 02:02:23,920
Speaker 1: go on and in the preseason and clearly outperformed Levi Wallace,

2422
02:02:23,960 --> 02:02:26,600
Speaker 1: who is a very steady player. He's just not a

2423
02:02:26,640 --> 02:02:32,880
Speaker 1: spectacularly playmaking type player. He's a steady player who's not

2424
02:02:32,920 --> 02:02:35,960
Speaker 1: gonna get you beat. He will make pass breakups. He

2425
02:02:36,080 --> 02:02:40,640
Speaker 1: will account for a low opponent completion percentage because he

2426
02:02:40,720 --> 02:02:43,520
Speaker 1: gets his hands in passing lanes. He positions himself very well.

2427
02:02:43,840 --> 02:02:46,960
Speaker 1: He's a steady, reliable player. I just don't know if

2428
02:02:47,040 --> 02:02:49,360
Speaker 1: he is a game breaking player. And maybe that's the

2429
02:02:49,400 --> 02:02:51,360
Speaker 1: step he takes in his second year. Maybe he does

2430
02:02:51,440 --> 02:02:53,560
Speaker 1: have that in him and he just hasn't put it

2431
02:02:53,640 --> 02:02:56,640
Speaker 1: on tape yet. But Kevin Johnson certainly showed why he

2432
02:02:56,720 --> 02:02:59,000
Speaker 1: was a former first round pick in the spring. We'll

2433
02:02:59,040 --> 02:03:01,560
Speaker 1: just have to see if it continues in training camp.

2434
02:03:01,720 --> 02:03:04,040
Speaker 1: As for the starting five old line group, I still

2435
02:03:04,120 --> 02:03:06,000
Speaker 1: think it's very much up in the air. But if

2436
02:03:06,040 --> 02:03:09,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna pin me down and make me pick Dawkins

2437
02:03:09,640 --> 02:03:14,000
Speaker 1: is my left tackle, I really, I really think it's

2438
02:03:14,040 --> 02:03:18,480
Speaker 1: a toss up between Inseci and Ford, and really I'm

2439
02:03:18,520 --> 02:03:22,520
Speaker 1: comfortable with either one. So let's just say for argument's sake,

2440
02:03:22,600 --> 02:03:25,680
Speaker 1: it's the veteran Insecci all right right out of the gate,

2441
02:03:26,360 --> 02:03:29,760
Speaker 1: and then your center is more For left guard, I'll

2442
02:03:29,800 --> 02:03:32,920
Speaker 1: probably go Spencer along right now, and then my right guard.

2443
02:03:33,000 --> 02:03:35,360
Speaker 1: I was impressed with Wyatt Teller, and I think he's

2444
02:03:35,400 --> 02:03:37,440
Speaker 1: going to only be even more impressive when the pads

2445
02:03:37,480 --> 02:03:39,400
Speaker 1: go on, because that's the kind of alignement he is.

2446
02:03:39,440 --> 02:03:41,920
Speaker 1: He's just a nasty guy. And so that means people

2447
02:03:42,000 --> 02:03:46,160
Speaker 1: like Feliciano and Quentin Spain, you know, unless they knock

2448
02:03:46,240 --> 02:03:48,560
Speaker 1: it out of the park in training camp, are probably

2449
02:03:48,600 --> 02:03:52,000
Speaker 1: going to be the reserves at the guard positions, and

2450
02:03:52,080 --> 02:03:54,360
Speaker 1: Feliciano at center two, which is something he can play.

2451
02:03:54,360 --> 02:03:56,480
Speaker 1: And we got Russell Bodin coming back from injury, so

2452
02:03:57,120 --> 02:03:59,080
Speaker 1: it's certainly going to be interesting. But those would be

2453
02:03:59,200 --> 02:04:02,200
Speaker 1: my guys, at least for right now. I'm going to

2454
02:04:02,320 --> 02:04:04,960
Speaker 1: leave that subject to change based on how guys perform

2455
02:04:05,280 --> 02:04:07,920
Speaker 1: when the real football starts with the pads on and

2456
02:04:08,000 --> 02:04:11,640
Speaker 1: in training camp in the preseason. Let's see here, what

2457
02:04:11,720 --> 02:04:13,760
Speaker 1: do we have? There are a couple other questions we had.

2458
02:04:14,920 --> 02:04:19,400
Speaker 1: What was the other one? Who will ultimately make the

2459
02:04:19,560 --> 02:04:25,480
Speaker 1: roster at running back? Yeah, that's from soul of a

2460
02:04:25,640 --> 02:04:29,520
Speaker 1: Black poet here, So really they're obviously shady and Gore,

2461
02:04:30,840 --> 02:04:34,400
Speaker 1: and then beyond them, you know, I think Singletary's a lock.

2462
02:04:34,840 --> 02:04:38,400
Speaker 1: So then the question becomes are you keeping four backs?

2463
02:04:38,960 --> 02:04:41,160
Speaker 1: And let's not forget Pat de Marco factors into this

2464
02:04:41,240 --> 02:04:44,000
Speaker 1: equation too. Is the fullback. Are you keeping four backs

2465
02:04:44,000 --> 02:04:46,680
Speaker 1: and a fullback, five backs and no fullback. I don't

2466
02:04:46,680 --> 02:04:48,600
Speaker 1: know what their decision is going to be there, because

2467
02:04:48,920 --> 02:04:53,040
Speaker 1: they did sign Centerise Perry, who's the running back with

2468
02:04:53,240 --> 02:04:55,280
Speaker 1: special teams in mind, I mean, this is a guy

2469
02:04:55,360 --> 02:04:58,040
Speaker 1: that led the Miami Dolphins special teams unit and tackle

2470
02:04:58,080 --> 02:05:00,440
Speaker 1: was last year and two years ago led the Chicago

2471
02:05:00,520 --> 02:05:03,120
Speaker 1: Bears special teams units and tackles. So he comes in

2472
02:05:04,080 --> 02:05:06,560
Speaker 1: with a pretty good special teams resume and if he

2473
02:05:06,760 --> 02:05:09,800
Speaker 1: farwell believes he needs him as part of his special

2474
02:05:09,880 --> 02:05:12,760
Speaker 1: teams unit, that's going to impact things at the running

2475
02:05:12,800 --> 02:05:17,320
Speaker 1: back position. So he's kind of a wild card and

2476
02:05:17,480 --> 02:05:19,640
Speaker 1: could very well make the roster. So if he makes

2477
02:05:19,680 --> 02:05:22,360
Speaker 1: the roster, now you're keeping at least four. Can you

2478
02:05:22,440 --> 02:05:24,760
Speaker 1: afford to keep t j. Yelden as a fifth and

2479
02:05:24,840 --> 02:05:26,720
Speaker 1: you still have Marcus Murphy who was on the roster

2480
02:05:26,920 --> 02:05:29,840
Speaker 1: last year. Christian Waite will just be on special teams

2481
02:05:29,840 --> 02:05:33,000
Speaker 1: as the international player. But there's going to be some

2482
02:05:33,120 --> 02:05:35,520
Speaker 1: tough decisions there at the back end of the depth

2483
02:05:35,640 --> 02:05:37,400
Speaker 1: chart two and it's all going to come down to

2484
02:05:37,440 --> 02:05:39,920
Speaker 1: whether you're keeping four or you're keeping five. And the

2485
02:05:39,960 --> 02:05:42,520
Speaker 1: other thing to remember here too, is as it relates

2486
02:05:42,520 --> 02:05:45,640
Speaker 1: to centers Perry, is the fact that Pat de Marco

2487
02:05:45,760 --> 02:05:49,000
Speaker 1: also plays a large role on special teams. Yeah, you

2488
02:05:49,040 --> 02:05:51,640
Speaker 1: can make the argument that fullback is a position that's

2489
02:05:51,680 --> 02:05:53,880
Speaker 1: being phased out of the league, but he's a leader

2490
02:05:53,960 --> 02:05:56,400
Speaker 1: on this team. He was a captain last year, and

2491
02:05:56,720 --> 02:05:58,880
Speaker 1: he also has a pretty big role on special teams.

2492
02:05:58,920 --> 02:06:02,200
Speaker 1: So I think center's Perry to ensure his spot on

2493
02:06:02,240 --> 02:06:05,000
Speaker 1: the roster may have to actually outperform Pat de Marco

2494
02:06:05,080 --> 02:06:07,920
Speaker 1: on special teams to make a case for himself at

2495
02:06:07,960 --> 02:06:11,320
Speaker 1: the running back position to stick on this roster as well.

2496
02:06:11,720 --> 02:06:14,280
Speaker 1: So that's pretty much the questions from you folks today,

2497
02:06:15,040 --> 02:06:17,360
Speaker 1: and I appreciate those. I'll always be happy to answer him.

2498
02:06:17,360 --> 02:06:19,200
Speaker 1: If not here, I can do them on my periscope

2499
02:06:19,280 --> 02:06:21,520
Speaker 1: chats that I have with you guys on Twitter, or

2500
02:06:21,560 --> 02:06:23,120
Speaker 1: if you just want to fire off a question to

2501
02:06:23,200 --> 02:06:25,160
Speaker 1: me written form, you know I'll get back to you

2502
02:06:25,200 --> 02:06:28,400
Speaker 1: as best I can. But it is time for the

2503
02:06:28,480 --> 02:06:32,200
Speaker 1: tweet sheet presented by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers

2504
02:06:32,880 --> 02:06:35,320
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills, And let me find my tweet

2505
02:06:35,320 --> 02:06:39,040
Speaker 1: sheet here. This one came from Jack with respect to

2506
02:06:39,240 --> 02:06:43,000
Speaker 1: our Twitter poll, which is what Josh Allen is most

2507
02:06:43,040 --> 02:06:45,040
Speaker 1: likely to accomplish in his second season. We had a

2508
02:06:45,080 --> 02:06:48,360
Speaker 1: whole bunch of different statistics, so Jack says, while all

2509
02:06:48,440 --> 02:06:50,720
Speaker 1: of these are possible, I believe in the second year

2510
02:06:50,720 --> 02:06:53,360
Speaker 1: in the offense, dable will allow Alan to throw more

2511
02:06:53,800 --> 02:06:56,640
Speaker 1: and with hopefully a stronger running game that should open

2512
02:06:56,760 --> 02:06:59,760
Speaker 1: up wide receivers down field and allow Alan to throw

2513
02:07:00,120 --> 02:07:04,520
Speaker 1: more touchdown passes. Hopefully a two to one touchdown to

2514
02:07:04,600 --> 02:07:09,040
Speaker 1: interception ratio. Maybe twenty five touchdowns and twelve picks is

2515
02:07:09,080 --> 02:07:12,320
Speaker 1: a good year. Yeah, I mean, I think most people

2516
02:07:12,400 --> 02:07:16,240
Speaker 1: would be accepting of those totals. Obviously, if there's more,

2517
02:07:16,280 --> 02:07:18,680
Speaker 1: they'd be happy with that too. I do think that

2518
02:07:18,800 --> 02:07:21,960
Speaker 1: we have to know that if he's going to be

2519
02:07:22,040 --> 02:07:26,000
Speaker 1: throwing considerably more this year, because his ball location is

2520
02:07:26,080 --> 02:07:29,560
Speaker 1: better and his receiving corps is upgraded and there are

2521
02:07:29,640 --> 02:07:33,640
Speaker 1: more advantageous matchups because of that, and the pocket is

2522
02:07:33,800 --> 02:07:37,160
Speaker 1: consistent in terms of being created by the offensive line,

2523
02:07:37,440 --> 02:07:39,560
Speaker 1: we have to expect Josh to throw more, which means

2524
02:07:39,640 --> 02:07:42,320
Speaker 1: more yards, more touchdowns, but there's also the risk of

2525
02:07:42,320 --> 02:07:44,360
Speaker 1: it there being a few more interceptions as well, so

2526
02:07:44,840 --> 02:07:47,000
Speaker 1: you got to take the good with the bad. To

2527
02:07:47,160 --> 02:07:52,240
Speaker 1: some degree this one from Josh, I'd say most likely

2528
02:07:52,680 --> 02:07:55,720
Speaker 1: he'll rush for more than four hundred yards, but ideally

2529
02:07:55,760 --> 02:07:57,880
Speaker 1: I'd like to see him with a better than fifty

2530
02:07:57,920 --> 02:08:02,800
Speaker 1: eight percent completion percentage, which requires offensive line consistency and

2531
02:08:03,080 --> 02:08:06,640
Speaker 1: chemistry with Beasley and Brown both need time to develop,

2532
02:08:06,920 --> 02:08:09,960
Speaker 1: and that's something that coach McDermott touched on when we

2533
02:08:10,160 --> 02:08:13,120
Speaker 1: aired his interview from late last week Last Hour, where

2534
02:08:13,160 --> 02:08:16,520
Speaker 1: he was saying, lack of availability in the spring is

2535
02:08:16,560 --> 02:08:18,320
Speaker 1: going to force us to make an adjustment in getting

2536
02:08:18,360 --> 02:08:20,600
Speaker 1: guys up to speed that much quicker when we get

2537
02:08:20,640 --> 02:08:24,600
Speaker 1: to training camp and John Brown missed some practices here

2538
02:08:24,680 --> 02:08:27,320
Speaker 1: and there. You know, his wife had twins here in

2539
02:08:27,360 --> 02:08:29,080
Speaker 1: the spring, so we missed some time due to the

2540
02:08:29,160 --> 02:08:32,000
Speaker 1: birth of his kids, and you totally understand that. But

2541
02:08:32,120 --> 02:08:35,120
Speaker 1: those last couple of days of minicamp, Brown got a

2542
02:08:35,160 --> 02:08:36,880
Speaker 1: lot of time on the field, but you could see

2543
02:08:36,920 --> 02:08:39,800
Speaker 1: that the timing was not yet there. With Josh Allen,

2544
02:08:39,840 --> 02:08:41,280
Speaker 1: they tried to hook up on a couple of deep

2545
02:08:41,360 --> 02:08:45,240
Speaker 1: routes where John Brown had beaten the defense, but they

2546
02:08:45,280 --> 02:08:47,200
Speaker 1: could not connect. The pass was a little bit off.

2547
02:08:47,600 --> 02:08:49,560
Speaker 1: So I think they're still working on their timing to

2548
02:08:49,680 --> 02:08:52,800
Speaker 1: some degree, and Josh mentioned that, you know they he

2549
02:08:52,880 --> 02:08:55,280
Speaker 1: intends to try to get with some of his receiving targets,

2550
02:08:55,320 --> 02:08:59,880
Speaker 1: and presumably I would think that he's targeting John Brown

2551
02:09:00,320 --> 02:09:03,440
Speaker 1: and Cole Beasley chiefly because of the fact that they

2552
02:09:03,560 --> 02:09:06,720
Speaker 1: did less than most of the other receivers during the

2553
02:09:06,800 --> 02:09:10,360
Speaker 1: spring practices, So there is some chemistry to be gained there.

2554
02:09:10,400 --> 02:09:13,000
Speaker 1: And then with respect to the offensive line consistency, it's

2555
02:09:13,080 --> 02:09:15,440
Speaker 1: much the same due to those injuries and the lack

2556
02:09:15,480 --> 02:09:18,000
Speaker 1: of availability of a whole host of players. I mean,

2557
02:09:18,040 --> 02:09:21,480
Speaker 1: the last week of OTAs, there were six offensive linemen

2558
02:09:21,520 --> 02:09:23,560
Speaker 1: who were out of the equation. They had to bump

2559
02:09:23,600 --> 02:09:26,800
Speaker 1: Spencer Long back to second string center because they only

2560
02:09:26,880 --> 02:09:29,760
Speaker 1: had him and Mitch Morris as available centers for practice.

2561
02:09:30,160 --> 02:09:34,920
Speaker 1: So there's a lot to pull together there as well.

2562
02:09:35,080 --> 02:09:37,480
Speaker 1: And they lost some time here in the spring due

2563
02:09:37,480 --> 02:09:39,720
Speaker 1: to some lingering injuries that kept some of those players

2564
02:09:39,800 --> 02:09:42,240
Speaker 1: off the field. So I would agree with you, Josh.

2565
02:09:42,960 --> 02:09:45,320
Speaker 1: Better than fifty eight percent completion I think would be

2566
02:09:45,360 --> 02:09:48,520
Speaker 1: a major achievement for Josh Allen in his second season,

2567
02:09:48,520 --> 02:09:51,160
Speaker 1: because that means his completion percentage would have gone up

2568
02:09:51,160 --> 02:09:54,000
Speaker 1: over five percent. And I'm not saying that's a far reaching,

2569
02:09:54,120 --> 02:09:57,120
Speaker 1: unrealistic number, but I think that's a healthy step forward

2570
02:09:57,880 --> 02:10:00,520
Speaker 1: in terms of his passing accura. See if he can

2571
02:10:00,560 --> 02:10:03,280
Speaker 1: pull that off next one here on the tweet sheet

2572
02:10:03,360 --> 02:10:06,200
Speaker 1: from Matt, I believe with the new players on the

2573
02:10:06,280 --> 02:10:09,080
Speaker 1: offensive line, the run game will be much better. Shady

2574
02:10:09,200 --> 02:10:12,000
Speaker 1: lost two Pro Bowl linemen in Wood and Ritchie last

2575
02:10:12,080 --> 02:10:15,440
Speaker 1: year with an explosive run game. Alan will not run

2576
02:10:15,480 --> 02:10:18,080
Speaker 1: as much but have a better throwing percentage. So he's

2577
02:10:18,160 --> 02:10:21,440
Speaker 1: kind of picking less than four hundred yards rushing and

2578
02:10:21,720 --> 02:10:24,280
Speaker 1: a fifty eight percent or better completion percentage at the

2579
02:10:24,320 --> 02:10:27,880
Speaker 1: same time. And so you know, I don't think either

2580
02:10:27,920 --> 02:10:29,640
Speaker 1: of those are out of the realm of possibility. I

2581
02:10:29,760 --> 02:10:31,640
Speaker 1: do expect McCoy to have a bounce back here. I

2582
02:10:31,720 --> 02:10:33,320
Speaker 1: do expect the line to be better in terms of

2583
02:10:33,400 --> 02:10:37,000
Speaker 1: run blocking. So those are all things that line up

2584
02:10:37,040 --> 02:10:40,160
Speaker 1: with the way I'm thinking, and I'm hoping Alan doesn't

2585
02:10:40,160 --> 02:10:42,280
Speaker 1: have to run as much. That's not to say there

2586
02:10:42,280 --> 02:10:44,240
Speaker 1: aren't going to be some quarterback draws here, and there

2587
02:10:44,240 --> 02:10:46,880
Speaker 1: are some naked bootlegs, but I don't think he's gonna

2588
02:10:46,880 --> 02:10:48,560
Speaker 1: have to take off and run nearly as much as

2589
02:10:48,600 --> 02:10:50,160
Speaker 1: he did last year when he was rolling up one

2590
02:10:50,200 --> 02:10:52,680
Speaker 1: hundred yard rushing games and wound up being the leading

2591
02:10:52,760 --> 02:10:56,000
Speaker 1: rusher on this team. So yes, hopefully Shady is the

2592
02:10:56,160 --> 02:10:59,760
Speaker 1: lead featured back. He's getting yards every week. Frank Gore

2593
02:10:59,880 --> 02:11:03,360
Speaker 1: is supplementing that effort, and Devin Singletary is complimenting it

2594
02:11:03,440 --> 02:11:06,120
Speaker 1: in some way, shape or form. We got to step aside.

2595
02:11:06,480 --> 02:11:08,400
Speaker 1: We got some what have we learned? Coming up after

2596
02:11:08,520 --> 02:11:11,080
Speaker 1: this as we wrap up a Monday edition of One

2597
02:11:11,160 --> 02:11:14,520
Speaker 1: Bills Live from One Bill's Drive. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio.

2598
02:11:29,440 --> 02:11:31,760
Speaker 1: Welcome back to One Bills Live. Chris Brown with you,

2599
02:11:31,920 --> 02:11:35,560
Speaker 1: and time now for what have we learned from today's show?

2600
02:11:35,680 --> 02:11:38,920
Speaker 1: Presented by Advanced Alarm, the preferred alarm and home theater

2601
02:11:39,040 --> 02:11:43,480
Speaker 1: provider of the Buffalo Bills. We had Arthur Moats on

2602
02:11:43,600 --> 02:11:46,960
Speaker 1: the show. The recently retired linebacker formerly of the Bills

2603
02:11:47,000 --> 02:11:50,320
Speaker 1: and the Steelers. Called it a nine year career last

2604
02:11:50,440 --> 02:11:53,640
Speaker 1: week a week ago. Today, talked about what he's most

2605
02:11:53,720 --> 02:11:56,640
Speaker 1: famously known for here in Buffalo. They hit on bred

2606
02:11:56,680 --> 02:12:00,520
Speaker 1: farv that ended his two hundred ninety seven game executive

2607
02:12:00,600 --> 02:12:04,640
Speaker 1: games streak. What the thing about the play that was

2608
02:12:04,680 --> 02:12:07,120
Speaker 1: so funny that I'll never forget was it was one

2609
02:12:07,160 --> 02:12:11,200
Speaker 1: of those moments where the film study and the way

2610
02:12:11,240 --> 02:12:13,760
Speaker 1: you played out in your head played out perfectly in

2611
02:12:13,920 --> 02:12:16,480
Speaker 1: the game. So the whole week we had been studying

2612
02:12:16,600 --> 02:12:18,600
Speaker 1: Bratt Park, we knew that he'd like to extend plays.

2613
02:12:18,680 --> 02:12:21,680
Speaker 1: We knew that sometimes he's gonna hold the ball too long,

2614
02:12:21,880 --> 02:12:24,720
Speaker 1: sometimes he drifts back to where the pressure is coming from.

2615
02:12:24,760 --> 02:12:26,680
Speaker 1: So if you're on the backside of a rush, just

2616
02:12:26,880 --> 02:12:29,240
Speaker 1: keep going and eventually you're gonna get back involved in

2617
02:12:29,320 --> 02:12:32,480
Speaker 1: the play. So when you fast forward to the actual

2618
02:12:33,080 --> 02:12:35,640
Speaker 1: play happening, it's just like how we watched on film.

2619
02:12:35,680 --> 02:12:38,080
Speaker 1: Brad Park rolls out to us, right, he's holding the ball,

2620
02:12:38,120 --> 02:12:39,760
Speaker 1: holding the ball, and now he's starting to drift back

2621
02:12:39,840 --> 02:12:41,200
Speaker 1: and me on the back. So I'm just saying, hey,

2622
02:12:41,200 --> 02:12:43,480
Speaker 1: if I just stay active, stay in the rush, I'm

2623
02:12:43,480 --> 02:12:46,160
Speaker 1: gonna get an opportunity. And literally, as I'm closing in,

2624
02:12:46,240 --> 02:12:49,400
Speaker 1: I'm seeing him come closer that drift back, and it

2625
02:12:49,560 --> 02:12:52,040
Speaker 1: was like the hit you can dream about, what you

2626
02:12:52,160 --> 02:12:55,200
Speaker 1: hardly ever see happen in the NFL for us as

2627
02:12:55,240 --> 02:12:57,560
Speaker 1: a defender, And I mean it was the perfect storm

2628
02:12:57,960 --> 02:12:59,680
Speaker 1: him dripped them back and me running full speed and

2629
02:12:59,800 --> 02:13:02,080
Speaker 1: just able to you know, make a play in Ultimately

2630
02:13:02,120 --> 02:13:05,560
Speaker 1: many lets him a mean dreaton Florence with the big interception,

2631
02:13:06,040 --> 02:13:08,800
Speaker 1: So it was a good time man. So that was

2632
02:13:08,920 --> 02:13:11,440
Speaker 1: Arthur Moats, who was good to talk to after not

2633
02:13:11,920 --> 02:13:13,760
Speaker 1: seeing him talking to him for a while since he

2634
02:13:13,840 --> 02:13:16,400
Speaker 1: left Buffalo, but still active in the community as well,

2635
02:13:16,440 --> 02:13:17,920
Speaker 1: which is always good to see. He's going to be

2636
02:13:17,960 --> 02:13:20,920
Speaker 1: doing a dodgeball tournament with Santonio Holmes down in Pittsburgh

2637
02:13:21,400 --> 02:13:23,240
Speaker 1: at the end of the month. Thanks to everybody who

2638
02:13:23,360 --> 02:13:26,680
Speaker 1: contributed on the Twitter poll today, which was what will

2639
02:13:26,760 --> 02:13:29,320
Speaker 1: Josh Allen most likely do in his second NFL season?

2640
02:13:29,400 --> 02:13:32,720
Speaker 1: And the winner there was throw for twenty touchdown passes

2641
02:13:32,880 --> 02:13:35,520
Speaker 1: or more with fifty two percent of the vote. Throwing
