1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 1: Oh, one time, Tasto totot toto time. Welcome, Welcome to

2
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 1: One Bill's Drive, our Wednesday show, One Bills Live from

3
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: One Bill's Drive, John Murphy and Steve Tasher. You know

4
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: Steve typically how I always begin to his show and

5
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: say something along the lines of I'm not ready. I'm

6
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: not ready. Clearly, I'm not ready. I don't know if

7
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: you are either. We were out watching practice until like

8
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: four minutes ago, and we look at the clock and say, oh,

9
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: we gotta go, we gotta go do a show. I

10
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: think it was eleven fifty four, eleven fifty five to

11
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: get all our gear in the laptop of the pens papers,

12
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,599
Speaker 1: all of a sudden we had to haul and come

13
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: running into the instigat the instigators like they're back there

14
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: with their feet up. Their show has been over for

15
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: another two show and we're running in. Yeah. But the

16
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: good news is practice is right outside lots. Yeah, but

17
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: there's lots going on too. We gotta we're busy, busy,

18
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: busy shows getting in the way today, shows getting in

19
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: the way of our good time. That's right. Well, welcome,

20
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: We're happy to have you here. We're here until three

21
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,839
Speaker 1: o'clock today. On a Wednesday, it feels like a regular

22
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: season Wednesday. I gotta say, I've been talking about how

23
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,639
Speaker 1: I miss the training camp, and I do, but today

24
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,559
Speaker 1: feels like we got a game coming up on Sunday.

25
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: You know why because there is a game coming up

26
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and that Bills are in their regular weekday

27
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 1: routine as if it's a regular season game on Sunday.

28
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: That's the theme of the day. It is a work

29
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: day Wednesday during season. That's what Sean McDermot had his

30
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: press you're gonna hear from him. We got all that

31
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: sound we're gonna give to you later in the show.

32
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 1: But he came in and said, listen, that's why. One

33
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 1: of the reasons you know, this is Josh Allen's turn

34
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: coming up with his quarterback. He got to start this

35
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: week so he can be a starter at least even

36
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: if he's not going to start on opening Day. He

37
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: can go through a regular game week like he would

38
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: in a regular season, get a little bit of a

39
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: game plan installed, get the stuff going on Wednesday, Thursday,

40
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: kind of taper off on a Friday Saturday, and get

41
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: ready for the game on Sunday as a starter, plus

42
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: all the distractions of being named the start on Monday.

43
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: Everybody knows he's a starter. He's gonna have all that

44
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: distraction going on with the media and all his responsibilities

45
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: as a starter that way, So there's a lot into this.

46
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: And theoretically if if this is a regular game three

47
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: of the preseason, he's going to go past halftime, so

48
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: he'll get a big workload this game as well. McDermott

49
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: was asked about that. Didn't get into details about that,

50
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: but it's kind of the theme of our show. As

51
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 1: you might expect, since Josh Allen was just named the

52
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: quarterback late Monday afternoon, it's our Twitter question, it's our

53
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: question of the day. We think you might want to

54
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: weigh in on this because everybody loves to talk about

55
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. Let's talk about it. Josh Allen starts Sunday

56
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: because what because it's his turn or because he has

57
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: played well. It's pretty simple. It's funny we get kind

58
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: of caught up on our own stuff when we do

59
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll and the Twitter questions, and we finally

60
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: boiled it down just to the simplest thing is Josh

61
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: is starting Sunday. Why is that? Why do you think

62
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: and we want to hear your thoughts on that eighth

63
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: three fifty toll free one eight eight five fifty two

64
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: five fifty or on Twitter and we'll read some of

65
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: the responses on the tweet. Cheek. Josh Allen gets to

66
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: start Sunday because it's his turn, because mccaron started game one,

67
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: or Peterman started game one, mccaron started a game two,

68
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: and now Josh starts game three? Is that was that

69
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: the plan going in or because he's played well and

70
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,839
Speaker 1: they feel like they can want to get a better

71
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: look at him, maybe a longer look at him. Do

72
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: you think we spent yesterday having this conversation? I remember

73
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: I made a joke about you asking him the question

74
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: as to whether he earned it or whether somebody else

75
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,839
Speaker 1: or whether his play or any the other two play,

76
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: you know, Aj or Nate or Josh. Was the way

77
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: they played part of the decision process. Would this have

78
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: been different had one of them or both of them,

79
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: or two of them or three them, whichever one played

80
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: better or worse or whatever. Now was the way they

81
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: played a reason they made Josh Allen the start of

82
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: this week. It's hard to imagine Nate Peterman playing any

83
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: better than he has. He's seventeen for twenty for two

84
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty some odd yards, two touchdowns and a

85
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: pick and the pick was wasn't his fault? I mean

86
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: he played really well the last in the games that

87
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: he started. Aj played good in that first game against

88
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: Carolina in the time that he got in there. Didn't

89
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: play so good against Cleveland, but nobody did in that

90
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,119
Speaker 1: first and against the Ones. And now is it Josh's

91
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: turn because he's the third quarterback and it's a third

92
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: preseason game? Or was this gonna be Josh's game no

93
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: matter what? And I think he was asked the question,

94
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: So is why I didn't ask the way somebody else did.

95
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: And I said, listen, is you know is this the

96
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: way it was planned? Or is this because Josh did something?

97
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: It's an interesting question. But can I say this, don't

98
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: be offended? Who? Ultimately who cares why he's playing Sunday?

99
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? I mean, really what he's

100
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: playing Sunday. He's starting Sunday. I think he'll probably play

101
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: deep into the game Sunday. Trying to determine why that

102
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: is is not that important. What's important is how he

103
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: plays on what are he laughing about what's important is

104
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: how he plays on Sunday. Does he play well enough

105
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: to be the starter on September night? That could happen.

106
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: I think that could happen. You know what makes me laugh?

107
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: You know that just tickles me. Every time we talked

108
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: about jo, he started talking about Josh Allen, how he's playing,

109
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: whether he's gonna start something year. Just like a kid

110
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: looking at his brea new toy. You just want to

111
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: see him play. I want to see you're excited to

112
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: death about him, And I'm gonna tell you something. And

113
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want him to start September

114
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: nine yet. I want to see him play more. But

115
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: I think it's just awesome how excited you are every

116
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: time you're gonna get a chance to team play. And

117
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: I'm the same way because I want to see it.

118
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: I mean, he is, he is fun to watch. I

119
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: mean when he gets and you saw it in Cleveland.

120
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to get carried away with this. Everything's

121
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: different when he's in there, and I don't want to

122
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: get all into that house. I'm not there. It looked listen.

123
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: He stepped on as the number two quarterback in this

124
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: last game against Cleveland and AJM just after AJ MCA

125
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: got hurt. AJ. First of all, we didn't know he'd

126
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: gotten hurt. He played three plays after he gotten hurt,

127
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: and that was his last series anyway, so we didn't

128
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: really know AJ McCarron was down. But then SO and

129
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: AJ and the number ones they played, they stunk. And

130
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: then Josh Allen comes in and man, he looked good.

131
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: He did. He looked. I mean, it's like every it

132
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: was like, whoa baby, this is awesome. And then we're

133
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna start on Monday. It's like, oh my guys,

134
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: everything's changed. I don't think all that much has changed,

135
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: but I'm like, I am like you in that regard.

136
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: I want to see this one. I want to see

137
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: him play. Here's what I think has changed. I think

138
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: Josh has played well enough to get the start on Sunday.

139
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: If he had not played as well as he has,

140
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying he had to play offul by

141
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: the way, but if he had not played, if he'd

142
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: been okay even just okay for those for the two

143
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: appearances in the two preseason games, and had a J McCarron.

144
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: I've been heard I believe they would have gone with

145
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: mccaren as a starter this Sunday and most likely McCarron

146
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: the starter on September ninth. I think things changed. I

147
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: don't think it was the plan all along for, you know,

148
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: to start one, two three Peterman, McCarron, Josh, because McDermot

149
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: has said it. He said it publicly. He viewsed preseason

150
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: game number three as the regular season dress rehearsal. With

151
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: that in mind, he probably, unless Josh showed him something else,

152
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: he probably was not going to start Josh Allen in

153
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: this game. He is because I think two reasons. Because

154
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: Josh has played well. I think that's why. That's why

155
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: I think he's starting Sunday, and because McCarron got banged

156
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: up and may or may not play. He's out there

157
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,799
Speaker 1: at practice. We watched McCarron. They were in the initial

158
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: portions of practice, the individual work, the quarterbacks, just handing

159
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: the ball off two running backs. No throws yet for

160
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: many of them, so it's he's limited. A j McCarran

161
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: is limited today and McDermot said, we'll see how he responds.

162
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: But that's what I'm saying. I think Josh has played

163
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: well enough to earn the starting spot on Sunday and

164
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: earn a chance to compete for September Night. I think

165
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: along those lines, I think this was probably part of

166
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: the plan. And the only way Josh Allen didn't start

167
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: this game was if he was a train wreck, and

168
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: there's no way that was going to happen. If he

169
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: was a train wreck. You're right, he wouldn't. Yeah, he wouldn't.

170
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: He was just average. He probably would have not, right.

171
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: I think the only way he doesn't is that the

172
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: fact that he didn't absolutely turn out to be you know,

173
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: JaMarcus Russell bad. You know, I think other than that

174
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: he was gonna start this game. Now, that doesn't mean

175
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: and for that reason, I think he did earn it.

176
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he played well enough to earn it. But

177
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: I think this was in the mix all the time.

178
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: And I think uh Sean McDermott said some of this

179
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: in the press conference this morning. He said, listen, he goes.

180
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: I know Aj mccarn's been through a regular game week

181
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: during the regular season. I know Nathan Peterman's done. He's

182
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: done it twice for us last year. He was the

183
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: starter for a couple of games and we needed him.

184
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: So he knows what it is to go through regular week.

185
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: Josh Allen hasn't, so I thought it was important to

186
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: get him this look at a regular week on the

187
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: regular season, to go through what it's like to be

188
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: the starter with the team taking number one's getting ready

189
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: for a game, implementing a game plan limited as it

190
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: may be this week for a preseason game. I think

191
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: this was all part of the plan to do this

192
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: for whichever quarterback they drafted, whether it was Josh Allen

193
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: or anybody else. I think they were going to get

194
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: this chance if they didn't stink, And certainly Josh Allen

195
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: has done everything but stink. He's been pretty good. So

196
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: let's talk about it. Give us a call. Why is

197
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: it that Josh Allen? Why do you think it is

198
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: that he is starting this week? Was it just his

199
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: turn or did he play well enough to get a

200
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: chance to start. Give us a call. Lines open eight

201
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: three fifty and toll free eight five fifty two five fifty.

202
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: We'll get to your callon read some of your tweets

203
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: from the tweet sheet in a moment. As far as

204
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: what's going on, they're practicing outdoors today, cloudy, little breezy

205
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: out there, Steve and I were just out there. McCarron

206
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: limited in practice with his shoulder. McDermot said they'll see

207
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: all he responds. Running back Lashaw McCoy will not practice today.

208
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 1: He has listened to day to day with growing and

209
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: hip issues. Defensive tackle Kyle Williams not practicing today. He

210
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: is week to week with his knee. Left tackle Dan

211
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: Dawkins not practicing today with a hip injury. It looks

212
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: like Marshall Newhouse is getting his reps at first team

213
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: left tackle. Defensive end Trent Murphy's still not ready, not

214
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: practicing today, listed as day to day with his growing.

215
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: Safety Kelsey mccraine not practicing with a hamstring, and McDermott

216
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: did say Ryan Growing will start at center Sunday against

217
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: the Bengals, but he said the competition between Groy and

218
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: Bodon continues now. The decision to start Josh Allen, we're

219
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: talking about it, We'll talk about it most of the day.

220
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: McDermot talked about it today as well. Sean McDermott with

221
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: a ten thirty news conference this morning before practice and

222
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: he talked about his decision to start Josh Allen this week.

223
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: It's still sticking with for the most part our plan

224
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: and our evaluation to this point, John and then announcing it, um,

225
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: you know, really wanting to for him to go through

226
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: a routine what it would be like in a normal

227
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: regular season week of um dealing with the potential distractions

228
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: and all that goes with the quarterback position and learning

229
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: how to how to balance that. Um Aj has been

230
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: through that before. Naturally Nate's been through it as well,

231
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: and so this was an opportunity as well for Josh

232
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: to go through it for uh, for his first time.

233
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: How much was and how much dish? Yeah, he certainly

234
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: has earned most I would hope if everything we do

235
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: here just about is earned. Um Uh, He's had a

236
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: good camp to this point, and um you know this

237
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: is all part of part of the plan and part

238
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: of the process at this at this point in the

239
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: and in terms of the stage of his development, he

240
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: says part of the plan. He also says he's earned

241
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: it with his playing. It's probably a little bit of both,

242
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 1: but it's worth discussion, discussion. Why Josh Allen this week?

243
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: Why do you think it is he because he's playing well?

244
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: Or is it just his turn in the rotation? Give

245
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: us a call, Lines open, eight oh three five fifty

246
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: and toll free one eight eight eight fifty. This should

247
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: give Bills fans a little bit of encouragement because that

248
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: last part of what he said is something we've been

249
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: talking about throughout the process of Josh Allen and the quarterbacks,

250
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: of the draft, the trades they've made, all the personnel

251
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: that they brought in, free agents, everybody. And he says, most,

252
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: if not everything we do here is earned, and that

253
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: tells you a little bit about what they're planning. And

254
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: I think it's up to a guy, even if you're

255
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: drafted high like Josh Allen is, there's no question certainly

256
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: you're getting some reps with whatever group they give you.

257
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: In this case it was the thirds. And he's earned

258
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: his way up and earned his way into the conversation

259
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: anyway of being a starter. Yeah, I mean there's you know,

260
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: they asked him that too. I mean, we're gonna hear

261
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 1: that sound probably. I think about somebody asked him and said,

262
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: can he can do he have a chance to earn

263
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: the starting job this week? And his answer to that

264
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: was was fairly evasive. Yeah, but he didn't say no.

265
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: I mean I think it's a I think there's no

266
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: question m Josh's physical ability is to set him apart

267
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: so much that so that it's almost to the point where, um,

268
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: it supersedes the experience that the other two guys have.

269
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: And that's that's gonna be something that they're gonna have

270
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: to value that. I think that in this game is

271
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: gonna be question number one. What's the evaluation? Does his

272
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: physical ability and his progress so far trump the experience

273
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: that the other two guys have. Yeah, I go along

274
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: with that. McDermott was talking today about Josh Allen starting

275
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: and he was asked specifically, what is he looking for

276
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: this week? Not just in the game on Sunday, but

277
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: what's he looking for this week? Is Josh Allen handles

278
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: you know, the job being the starting quarterback for a

279
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: game on Sunday. Here's what McDermott said in answer to that. Yeah,

280
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: I mean I think you know, we all know what

281
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: it's supposed to look like, um and and feel like

282
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: in that regard, and it's just him, you know, getting

283
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: dipping his toe in the water if you will, of

284
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: what that looks like and on the field and off

285
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: the field to your question, and how he handles his teammates,

286
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: how he handles the meetings, how he handles the interviews.

287
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: That's all part of as we all know what comes

288
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: with that starting quarterback position, even in preseason, So it'll

289
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: be a good experience for him. Yeah, regard and if

290
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: you know anything, if you've learned anything about Sean McDermott,

291
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: you know that all of that is important, right, How

292
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: they handle the practice week, how they get ready to play,

293
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: let alone, how they play. Yeah, I think that's going

294
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: to be examined this week by the coaches as well. Thanks, right,

295
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: because it's never just about him. It's never just about

296
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks, about the other guys on the team, about

297
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: the defense as well, about how they respond, how and

298
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: what he sees. It's about how he interacts with the

299
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: coaching staff. As we had and we keep going back

300
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: to the guests we've had earlier in the week, Cosell says, Hey, man,

301
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: you can tell by watching film, this guy's getting coached

302
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: and he's getting better because of it. It's taking and

303
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: that's that's that's a great, great place for a young

304
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: guy like Josh Allen to be in. And the coaches

305
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: know it and they can see it. And the question

306
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:17,920

Speaker 1: call eight three fifty toll free one eight eight five

335
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,760

336
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: why because it's his turn or because he's played well?

337
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: Bernard and Buffalo on the line to help us answer

338
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: that question, Bernard, what do you think? Hey, Murphy, Steve,

339
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: how are you great? So this is what I think.

340
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: I think that it was always a part of the plan.

341
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: I think they know what they have with Nate. I

342
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: think that Nate was probably projected to be the Week

343
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: one starter. So I don't think they have anything to

344
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: Louis by starting Josh Allen against the Ones and the

345
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: most important preseason game. If he if he fizzles out,

346
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: oh well, you know, he goes back to the drawing board,

347
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: he learns, he sits behind Nate week one. If he

348
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: does well, well, then we got a problem. You know,

349
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: he might be starting week one, So I don't know

350
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: if it's a problem. Yeah, I think this way, he

351
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: has nothing to lose. It doesn't hurt his confidence. If

352
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: he does well, he starts. If he doesn't, we know

353
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: we have a Nate because he has an outstanding preseason.

354
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: So I think that's where they were with this whole process.

355
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: Was he seventeen or twenty Nate this pre Yeah, he's

356
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: played well. I mean, so why not give the kid

357
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: to start? And again, we know what we had when Nate.

358
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,239
Speaker 1: You know what he can do, we know his limitations,

359
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: and if Josh does it. If Josh does well, he starts.

360
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: If he doesn't, we go in Nate week one. You've

361
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: you've completely left out a J. McCarron. And I know

362
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: there's the injury consideration, but if McCarron were healthy, was

363
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: there a chance he was going to start this preseason

364
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: game number three? I don't think so. Just from watching

365
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: the preseason games from week one, he did well Week one,

366
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: he threw the ball down the field, but our offensive

367
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: line doesn't, you know, really hated his strength. He's got

368
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: to be able to move in that pocket, and Nate moved,

369
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: Nate scrambled, Nate throwed on a run. I think you

370
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: know what they had with a J. McCarron. You know, yeah,

371
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: I think I think Bernard, to be honest, I think

372
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: in week one, preseason Week one against Carolina, I thought

373
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: McCarron moved around in the pocket better than Nathan Peterman did.

374
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: I thought he showed a lot of good movement there. Did.

375
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 1: Now they'll get against Cleveland last week, that's for sure.

376
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: Thanks Bernard. Let's go to Marty in check the WAGA.

377
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: Hello Marty, welcome to the show. How you doing, guys?

378
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 1: Four points? One to make about Josh Shellen points Let

379
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: me get a pen go ahead, and Marty, so be quick. Definitely,

380
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 1: the arm strength is number one. Two. He's a physically

381
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: bigger guy, so I think he's gonna be tougher to

382
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: bring down. Third point is I thought he showed some

383
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: touch on certain passes when he was in the game,

384
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: and he also showed movement in the pocket. And my

385
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: fourth point, which is, I don't know if anybody mentioned this,

386
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: he's taller. I think he might have a little higher

387
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: release point of the ball over Peterman, which I think

388
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: would mean less pass is knocked on the line of scrimmage. Well, Marty,

389
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: all that stuffs probably true. The question is is thanks

390
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: for the call. The question is do all that Does

391
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: all that stuff translate into playing quarterback better making better decisions?

392
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: Because all that stuff is great. His arm is, he's bigger,

393
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: he can take a hit better, he's getting better touch

394
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 1: in the pocket, and he's taller. But does that all

395
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: make him a better decision maker? Does that all? If

396
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: he throws it, it may be a higher release point,

397
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: But is he thrown it to the right guy? And

398
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 1: is he going to throw it accurately? Is he got

399
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: the offense in the right play? Did he call the

400
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: play and get the shifts right? Did he call the

401
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: protection right? I mean, there's a lot more to it

402
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: than just the physical nature of showing up. If you're

403
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, and while all that stuff you say is

404
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 1: absolutely true, all this other stuff is going to dictate

405
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: how well he plays, And all the stuff that you mentioned,

406
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: the arm strength and the size and all that stuff

407
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 1: is just icing on the cake. I promise me tomorrow,

408
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 1: we will. If we don't make it a Twitter poll,

409
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: we will discuss. And we got to do it before

410
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 1: Sunday's game because the decision might be made in Sunday's game.

411
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: We have to discuss what I talked about yesterday, the criterion,

412
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: all of it that goes into Hoop starts September. Now, right,

413
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: How well, if you if you're into this and we

414
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: were watching this, and you think it's a competition, here's

415
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,959
Speaker 1: the question we gotta have for tomorrow. How well does

416
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 1: Josh Allen have to play just to plan a guy

417
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: who's seventeen for twenty two touchdowns and a pick in

418
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: this preseason and played so how I mean, how good

419
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: does Josh have to play to win to the job?

420
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: That guy will play as well? Peterman, So yeah, he's

421
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: gonna play well, yeah, and he will play as well.

422
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: He will play tomorrow. Yeah, he'll play on Sunday as well. Yeah.

423
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: That how good does Josh have to play to be

424
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: that guy? And I think too, if you if you

425
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,959
Speaker 1: got to, if you're gonna ask that, there's a lot

426
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: we don't know because the next question is, well, what

427
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: about the rest of it, Like in the meeting rooms

428
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: and stuff we don't see and all how did all

429
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: that go? Is he really really that good in the meetings? Well, no,

430
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: we don't know how well has he got to play?

431
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: Don't you like how we make up our shows while

Speaker 1: we're on the air. So we make up tomorrow show

440
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: It's funny if you're if you're listening to the show,

441
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: we're watching the show. Do you hear us playing tomorrow show?

442
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: While around the year Today it's got to be like

443
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: what what did you ask that? Today? We don't want

444
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: to ask you today. We had a better question today

445
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: from the tweet sheet from Bruce Thomas Collucci. We asked

446
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: the question, is John starting Sunday because it's his turn

447
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: or because he has played? While Bruce Thomas Collucci answers

448
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: on Twitter, a combo of both. He has surprised the

449
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: coaching staff with his progress and performance, but they have

450
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: they've been using a road They have been using a

451
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: rotation system at quarterback. I don't know, Bruce Thomas Collucci,

452
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: I don't know that the rotation system is in play here.

453
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: Um are you telling me, Bruce and Steve? Are you

454
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 1: telling me that way back in uh fourth of July

455
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: that they figured, Okay, we'll start Nathan game one, We'll

456
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: start a j game two, and start Josh game three.

457
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know if I believe that. I

458
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm buying that. I don't know. I am.

459
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: I think that's where they were playing. I think they

460
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: did plan on giving whoever they drafted a start in

461
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: the preseason. I think that was part of the plan

462
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: to see what the guy could do. I don't know

463
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: if they were gonna put it at number three right away.

464
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: Maybe they were gonna do it at number one and

465
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 1: they didn't think Josh Allen was ready. Maybe they're gonna

466
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: do it number two. He wasn't quite ready then, and

467
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: they wanted to give him an extra week of training

468
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: camp or a few extra reps in a game before

469
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: they started him in a game. But this game makes

470
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: a lot of sense because, like we heard Sean McDermott say, listen,

471
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 1: I know Aj McCarron has been through a week as

472
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: a starter. He did it four times for the Cincinnati Bengals.

473
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:44,959
Speaker 1: I know Nathan Peterman has been through a week as

474
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 1: a starter a couple of times here in Buffalo with us.

475
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 1: I want Josh Allen to have that experience, maybe knowing

476
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: that he may not be getting that experience for a

477
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: while during the regular season. He wants him if they

478
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: do get a chance, or if it does come to

479
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: the point where, hey, Josh Allen's got to be plugged

480
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: in as the starter now because it's that time. He's better,

481
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: he's ready, somebody got injured, whatever the case may be.

482
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: When it does come time to plug Josh Allen, we

483
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: want him to have been through it, and this is

484
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: the perfect opportunity to do it. So I think I

485
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: think this speaks more of the plan overall plan to

486
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: me than it does Josh Allen knocking it out of

487
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: the park. Um, I think I disagree with that, and

488
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: I think I think this about the plan. I think

489
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: their plan included flexibility. You know what I mean when

490
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 1: when McDermot says we have a plan, and sure he's

491
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: following on his plan. I think his plan included, Hey,

492
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: if Josh is playing well, we're gonna get more rep

493
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: for him. Maybe game three. Who knows, that wouldn't surprise me.

494
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: I think his plan included his flexibility to make this

495
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: kind of move. Secondly, I just think it's more performance

496
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: than a plan that they had that they would go one, two,

497
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 1: three in this order. I don't think that was the plan. Well,

498
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 1: Wondering Jack says this, his play has been better than

499
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: I expected, and I think it has earned him a

500
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 1: turn to see what he has against the Ones. If

501
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: he plays as good as he has, he may he

502
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: may win the job. If not, at least the coaches

503
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: will now know he needs more time and as long

504
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: as he isn't hurt, it's a win win. And that's yeah,

505
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: that's true. That's true. All that's true. And he has

506
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: played well. And the question is from behind. If you're

507
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: looking at the history of this training camp in the

508
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: last four to six weeks, the history is has as

509
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: good as he played changed the plan from this point

510
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: going forward. Here in the preseason game number three, and

511
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: I'm saying, no, it has been the plan all along,

512
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: and you're saying that maybe, and it's right now. We

513
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,959
Speaker 1: have heard nothing but positives coming out of camp how

514
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: he's handled it. So we'll see from Dickie Curtiss on

515
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet. It is his turn. And what better

516
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: way to see how he improved than the third preseason

517
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: game when nothing matters. They have seen both Peterman and

518
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: mccaron with the first. Now it's Alan Stern. If he

519
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: lights it up, he starts. If he doesn't, he will

520
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: be two or three. Okay, Dickie, I see where you're

521
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,719
Speaker 1: going with that. Lighten it up? What's that mean? Right,

522
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: that's your question for what's the question for tomorrow? Don't

523
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: answer that one today. We're saying that to me because

524
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: that is a brilliant question. We got a lot, we

525
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: got a lot of questions. Who were doing it. I'll

526
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: tell you what too. And I was saying, I did

527
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: my work last night and the Bengals did a spotting

528
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: board for the Bengals, looked over the Bengals roster where

529
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: the Bengals are coming from. You know how a week

530
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: ago where you're saying, now, this is the most interesting

531
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: preseason game in years in Cleveland, Yeah, in Cleveland. This

532
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: one is kind of interesting too with the Josh Allen

533
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: thrown in there, the fact that he's starting, but just

534
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: the connections between these two teams. Corty Glenn starts at

535
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: left tackle for the Bengals. Preston Brown starts at middle

536
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: linebacker for the Bengals. In fact, he'll beyond with this

537
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: Friday to talk about that. Andy Dalton, Andy Dalton comes back.

538
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 1: That's a big story. I was rereading that last night

539
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: about the you know, Buffalo fans, Bills fans sent a

540
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: total of like four hundred and fifty thousand dollars to

541
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton's and as one seventeen and seventeen dollars increments,

542
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: they got eighty thousand, eighty thousand donors from the Buffalo

543
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: of them. Did I tell you that, Yes she did. Yeah,

544
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: I was. I was not. I just I got moved

545
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: by the thing last year listening. That was a moment.

546
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: I've talked to this, I've told people this before of

547
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: all that you know, and I always get, you know,

548
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: compliment about how they great those teams were that I

549
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,479
Speaker 1: was on and all that time and we did all

550
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 1: that cool stuff, and then he did a comeback game.

551
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: And let me tell you something. That moment that everybody

552
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: experienced together Week seventeen last year, when when you got

553
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: to see the team experience and find out that they

554
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,239
Speaker 1: were going to the playoffs at the same time all

555
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: the fans. Did you see, all the groups watching TV,

556
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: the Bill's players in the locker room watching TV, all

557
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: the different locations. That moment was as good as any

558
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: moment in franchise history. It was as good as pandemonium

559
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: when they when they when Fred Smrtla's blocked a kick

560
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: to win the division to send into the playoffs. It

561
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: was as good as, maybe as good as the comeback game.

562
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: Although not as historic as the comeback game. It wasn't

563
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: as league wide a big moment as the comeback game.

564
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: But there were some great moments and that was one

565
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: of them in franchise history. And I told that to

566
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: Kim Pagoula. I said, that moment was a moment like

567
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: almost like none other in Bill's history. When everybody got

568
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: into the playoffs at once, you know, it was pretty neat, Yeah,

569
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: it was. It was moving. And here comes Andy Dalton with,

570
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: by the way, a donation for Roswell park in his

571
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: pocket comes to Buffalo this week. That's a that's an

572
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: amazing story. It's a pretty awesome good story. The whole

573
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: thing is awesome. But just the connections to players we

574
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: talked about Preston Brown and Cordy Glenn coaches. Alex van

575
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: Pelt coaching the quarterbacks now for the Bengals. He's coming back.

576
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: He played here and coached here. Um Jim had played here,

577
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: coaches linebackers now for a couple of years. Bob Bicknell

578
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: coach wide receivers here. He coaches and wide receivers in

579
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 1: Cincinnati now their offensive coordinator Bill Laser, former coach at

580
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: ub I'm telling you, I don't know if it has.

581
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: Maybe it was hard knocks last week that made that

582
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: game going in so interesting. And by the way, the

583
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: game probably didn't live up to the hype last week,

584
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: the Cleveland game, you know what I mean, It didn't.

585
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: It really wasn't that greaty game. But this week you

586
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: have just as many connections and maybe even better connections

587
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: when you think about the Andy Dalton story. I really

588
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: believe that. Yeah, last week the Brows game was a

589
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: win that felt like a loss. Yes, and with age

590
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: going down and with it, with the way the game came,

591
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:08,479
Speaker 1: you know, came down. This game. Oh wow. I mean

592
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of eyes on this game

593
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: nationally broadcast. It's a Fox game. I mean, I'm out

594
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: of town. I'm leaving. I'm gonna watch it on I

595
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: want to. I want to see the broadcast. I'm not

596
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: even gonna be around. This is a totally nash People

597
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 1: are gonna be watching this game, and I think there's

598
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: gonna be I mean, you can bet that Fox is

599
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: gonna do a big thing either during the game or

600
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 1: pregame or post game about Andy Dalton and what happens

601
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: with that story. Sure, they're gonna do all the connections

602
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: of this team with each other, and Josh Allen is

603
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: gonna be front and center. Yeah, that's it's huge. Four

Speaker 1: he'll be on camera. Hey, I know you got a

609

619
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: warm day. I think a chance of rain today, but

620
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm headed to the Bison's game tonight.

00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: I hope it doesn't rain tonight. I gotta tell you,

622
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: I gotta Our callers have been great today. Marty calls

623
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: and he goes, I've got four points to make about

624
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. His arm, his size, Mary touch better, and

625
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: he's tall. So yeah's nothing wrong with prepping for your

626
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: because I've never done that in a call. I have

627
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: four points to make. Nothing wrong with that preth and wrong.

628
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: He was on it a couple of calls. Now, if

629
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: you want to discuss with us, Josh Allen Is he

630
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: starting Sunday because it's his turn. Is he's starting Sunday

631
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: because he's played well? Maybe it's both, Maybe it's neither.

632
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: Give us a call. Eight three fifty toll free one

633
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: eight eight five. Let me put us discinctly. I think

634
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: he's I think he's. Uh, that's not the scinct. Yeah,

635
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: I had it in a minute and it went away

636
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: because I grabbed my coffee. I think he's starting because

637
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: he kept his turn. He played well enough to keep

638
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: his turn. How about that. That's pretty succinct. I think

639
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: he's I think he got their attention by playing as

640
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: well as he did, and I think he kept his

641
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: turn by not messing it up. So far, he hasn't

642
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: messed it up. For sure, he hasn't messed it up.

643
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: Mike and West Seneca. Hello, my go ahead, you're on

644
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: the air. Good afternoon. Hi, Hey, look real quick, I

645
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: only I got twelve points to make, but no, if

646
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: can I make a quick comment first time? Yeah? Go ahead?

647
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: Maybe you forgot coach Sam Wish for the Cincinnati Bengals

648
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: played for the Bills as a quarterback. Yeah, remember then

649
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: he came back as a coach. I love Sam Wends

650
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: great and You're real quick too, you know, with the

651
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: news agencies run for all the bad stuff that might

652
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: happened in any sport. This is great. Let's see like

653
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: you guys, So let'm cover this now. Two teams helping

654
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: a bunch of kids. Yeah, we need it. You know,

655
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: that's unbelievable. You're right, Mike, it is awesome. I'm really proud.

656
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: I'm proud of not only Buffalo in the in the community,

657
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: but also of Andy Dalton and his foundation that he's

658
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: that he's not worried about doing it for another sitting

659
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: in another team with their family. It's just awesome and

660
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: every at every moment, you know, I kind of really

661
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: discovered in my lass and I was doing my Bengals homework,

662
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: came across those notes in the Bengals press release, the

663
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: media release for this weekend. I thought, between Andy Dalton

664
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: and the receiver, what is it, Tyler Boyd. Half a

665
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: million dollars, half a million dollars, five hundred and fifty

666
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: thousand dollars went from Buffalo fans to those foundations in Cincinnati,

667
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: two of them half a million dollars. That's that's unbelievable.

668
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't hear that, and you're right. I

669
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: hope that it gets some national intention. It is a

670
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: great story when people get so concerned about how players

671
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: misbehave and what they do before in the anthem. This

672
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: is a story that deserves some national intention. Angry. This

673
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: is unbelievable, right, Mike, go ahead, And what's the thing

674
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: about this week's game? Yeah, I'm glad he's going to

675
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: get a Hall half. I wish I could see him

676
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: for a whole game, but I understand what the rotation

677
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: and how they do that. But yeah, I'm glad, definitely,

678
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: because you can really get a better look at this kid.

679
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: And I think it's going to tell us a lot

680
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: and the coach is a lot more about what's going on.

681
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: But really concerns me is if he wins out and

682
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: gets this competition through his best play. What concerns me

683
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: is I don't care that anybody says we took the

684
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: hit again. Last year it was the second half of

685
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: the schedule. It was ridiculous to me. This year's the

686
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: first half. Josh Allen out there, I mean, it's hard,

687
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: and I know everybody plays for the quarterback, but jeez,

688
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: what is it. We're home, away, away, away home, away

689
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: away or are we playing any games at home? In

690
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: the first half? Five of the first seven away, very

691
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: young quarterback out there. I just want to see this

692
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: kid get in there and succeed if he's the guy

693
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,479
Speaker 1: that's going to lead this team. And thanks a lot

694
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: of guys in head of good days. You got ten

695
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: more points to make. What do you do? Aye? He's

696
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: right though too. The first seven or at home? That's it.

697
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: The week two the Chargers and Week five at Tennessee

698
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: comes to New air Field, and the rest of them,

699
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: you know, Baltimore, Minnesota, Green Bay, Houston, and Indianapolis all

700
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: on the road. I mean that's Indianapolis Andrew Luck, Green Bay, Minnesota, Baltimore.

701
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: You know, good grief. That is a rough, rough first

702
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: seven games. It looks like on paper. Now, I'll let

703
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: you know, we've all seen this before. It could turn

704
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: into a cream puff of a schedule. I doubt that

705
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: it will because we don't know how these teams are

706
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: gonna be. We don't know who's gonna get hurt orho's

707
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: gonna be helped by the time the Bills play. But

708
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: I'm telling you what. When this schedule came out, Sean

709
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: McDermott sat there and stared at it for about five

710
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: minutes and he's just looking at I mean, didn't you

711
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: that's what I did. I'm like, oh my gosh. I

712
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: try not to get caught up in what you think

713
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: these teams are going to be who you're playing. But

714
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: home and away makes a difference. And yeah, five at

715
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: the first seven away from home, that's that's big, that's important.

716
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: But look, when you look at the schedule, you don't

717
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: know what are the Green Bay Packers gonna be? Like

718
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: in week four? You know what are the Tennessee Titans?

719
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: What are they all about when you see them in

720
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: week five? It's week to week. Teams change, week to week,

721
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: teams get better, teams get worse, players get hurt. And

722
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: you know last year, the same time last year. If

723
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: you looked at last year's twenty seventeen schedules, Oh, we

724
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,719
Speaker 1: gotta go to Atlanta on October first, Atlanta's coming off

725
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: of Super Bowl. What do we do with that game? Well,

726
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: Bills went down there and one and what about going

727
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: to the Bills. We've got Oakland coming here. In early

728
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: first half of the season, Oakland was a solid team.

729
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: What happened to that game. Well, the Bills beat Atlanta,

730
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: So I think about it wasted energy. After six weeks

731
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: of the season, the Chiefs are sitting up there at

732
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: six and oh, we're going into Kansas City. You're thinking

733
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: that's a big fat l and the three in a row.

734
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: We gotta go to Kansas. They will walk in there

735
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: and beat those guys, right, You just don't know. I

736
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: think it's wasted energy to worry about who you're playing

737
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,719
Speaker 1: down the line, look and worry about Baltimore. So what's

738
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: week And that's the thing about that, though, Murph, we've

739
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: both said this at different times in the discussion about

740
00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. I don't know if you want to and

741
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: I've heard fans a bunch say this, I don't know

742
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: if you want to put him in there in that

743
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: first month of the season. I think I might be

744
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: a mistake, you know, might be a mistake to put

745
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: this young guy in there in the first month. But

746
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: you know what, we're doing the same thing by saying

747
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't matter, you're wasting energy thinking that

748
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: how hard it's going to be in that first month

749
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 1: of the season for the team. You know what, if

750
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:24,240
Speaker 1: he's ready I'm putting I'll say this today. If he's ready,

751
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: put him in. He's the best option. If he's the

752
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: best If he's the best option, put him in. So

753
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: there you go. I'm saying throwing it out there. If

754
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: he's the best option, put him in. If you listen

755
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: real closely, you can hear the caffeine kicking in right

756
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 1: next to me. Got in that double half calf with

757
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: a triple shot. Bob in Cleveland, Hello Bob, Welcome to

758
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: the show. Yes, I'd like to say I think it's

759
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: a little bit of both too. But I think when

760
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,760
Speaker 1: you look at the Bill's management, they're just as excited

761
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: as the Bills fan when they see the potential of

762
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: Josh and um exactly what he brings to the table.

763
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: I'm kind of agreeing with Steve a little bit too

764
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: that I think, you know, the first half of the

765
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: schedule is just the killer, particularly the first four games.

766
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:12,879
Speaker 1: So I kind of like them to see him sit

767
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: out the first month and ease him in because they

768
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: can take a mental toll on a quarterback, you know,

769
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 1: getting you know, killed in those first pour games. He's

770
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: agreeing with you, and I just said, if he's the

771
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: best guy, put him in. I'll tell you this though, too,

772
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: and here's here's how much we don't know. And I'll

773
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: give you an example of what I just said. If

774
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: he's the best guy, put him in. If he's the

775
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: best guy, put him in. And then everybody else Sanna.

776
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: We've been saying for a long time, don't put him

777
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: in for that first month because it's going to be

778
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: a crusher. It could break him. You know what, though,

779
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 1: he may learn some stuff in those first four games

780
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,919
Speaker 1: that'll serve him well the rest of the twelve games.

781
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,280
Speaker 1: He may learn something that first month of the season,

782
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: getting beat up a little bit and knocked around a

783
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: little bit and looking bad for a week or two

784
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: weeks or four weeks that may serve this team very well,

785
00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: not only this season, but in the years to come.

786
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: I've said this before on this show, and I'll say

787
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: it again. I sat down with Peyton Manning in his

788
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: second years as an NFL player, when they were going

789
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: They went three and thirteen in his first year and

790
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: thirteen and three in his second year, and deep in

791
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: that second year I had him. I was covering him

792
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: for CBS, and he said, I learned a lot of

793
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 1: really good football lessons in the fourth quarter of some

794
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: really bad football games. Talking about the year before when

795
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: they were three and thirteen, his rookie season, he learned

796
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: a lot of good football lessons in some really bad

797
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 1: football games. Are we missing an opportunity to teach Josh

798
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 1: Allen those lessons? And how much are you risking by

799
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,280
Speaker 1: throwing him in there saying, hey, he's our best option,

800
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: or we just want to look at him, we just

801
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: want to let him learn. Do you throw away a

802
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 1: month of the season letting him do that thinking it

803
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: will help you, or do you run the risk of

804
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: it of him never recovering from it. We don't know

805
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: any of that. That's stuff we don't know either way,

806
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:00,879
Speaker 1: both sides of that one. You don't know whether it's

807
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: going to help him or whether there's going to run

808
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 1: a ruin him. You're right, we don't know. You don't know.

809
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: A call from Frank and cheekawaka, Hi Frank, welcome, you're

810
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: on the air with us. Yes, yeah, I was just

811
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: hearing what you guys were saying about Peyton Manning going

812
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,760
Speaker 1: three and thirteen is his first year. I believe because

813
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:26,399
Speaker 1: of the fact that rab Jensen Okay was told by

814
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: Ralph Folson that Wade Phillips was told to start rab

815
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: Jensen and he beat Peyton Manning, and that's the reason

816
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: that we had the Music City miracle, and we hadn't

817
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: won a playoff game again until or gone to the

818
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 1: playoffs until last year. I believe that if if that

819
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: hadn't happened, that they would have started Flutie and they

820
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: would have had a good team to be in the playoffs. Yeah,

821
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if they would have won that game

822
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: with Fluty, to be honest with you, when Rob left

823
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 1: the field, they were ahead. I mean now we're sixteen

824
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 1: seconds left. Yeah, we're prosecuting twenty five year old games.

825
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, I don't know if that don't

826
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 1: but a yeah, I don't know what that beating Peyton

827
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: Manning before that has to do with a meaningless end

828
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: of the season. I don't know what if that, what

829
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 1: that has to do with the situation with Josh Allen

830
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: playing in this game. I don't know in the first

831
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: month to see, I don't know what what that late

832
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: season game has to do with this. But let we

833
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 1: appreciate the call, Frank. We'll go to a phill in

834
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: North Down Wanda. Hello, Phil, welcome to the show. Thank

835
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 1: you for taking my call. John. I think that Josh

836
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: Allens is playing because he earned it, and it's a

837
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: real simple way to describe it. They've had eight scoring

838
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 1: drives this preseason. Josh Allens got four, Peterman's got two

839
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: and mccaron's got two. And the thing that everybody says, oh,

840
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: you don't want to have him go in the first

841
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: month of the year, Nathan Peterman had the worst half

842
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 1: in the history of the NFL. I don't think, I

843
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: don't care anything's better than him. Josh Allen is the man.

844
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: I understand Peterman's getting better and everything, but we witnessed

845
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: there's no way he's going to be as worse as

846
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: Peterman was against the charge Well, Phil, there's no way

847
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: Peterman is gonna be like if Peterman was against the

848
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: Chargers either. I mean that's I mean, I get you.

849
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I really think he's earned it. I've and

850
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: I've I would like to talk to Chris Brown someday

851
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: because I've been saying Josh Allen from day one way

852
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,399
Speaker 1: better than Josh Rose and Josh Allen. I can't wait

853
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: to go. This is my thirtieth year with season tickets

854
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: for this team, and I've never been more excited to

855
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: go to a preseason game than this game on Sunday. Phil,

856
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: What do you think, Phil? Just what do you think

857
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: about how Peterman has played in this preseason? I think

858
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 1: he's started. It's seventeen out of twenty, you can't go wrong.

859
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: But I mean he was eight to ten against the threes,

860
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: which in the fours, Okay, so that I mean you

861
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 1: got to weigh that a little bit. But Peterman, I mean,

862
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: I don't think Nathan Peterman is as bad as he

863
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,800
Speaker 1: is because I think it was Rick Denison's fault for

864
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: most of them, five interceptions more than there was a Peterman.

865
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: But there's no he can't do any worse than Nathan

866
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,919
Speaker 1: Peterman did. And this kid's got a cannon. I can't

867
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 1: wait to see that. So wait, Phil, you're saying, since

868
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: since we've already sat through a half of Nate Peterman

869
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: with with the way it went in LA, why not

870
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: try Josh Allen sit through a half with him and

871
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: it won't be even that bad and we can be

872
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 1: able to live with the results. Right, I'm saying that

873
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: that Peterman's half was the worst half in the history

874
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: the NFL. Remember that, right, Josh Allen does is gonna

875
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: be better than that. So let's run with the kid. Okay,

876
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: very low standard. Yeah, that's a low bar. But I

877
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: get it. I get the idea. I mean, out there

878
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: and don't throw five picks in the first half and

879
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: you'll be Okay, it's a low bar. I get it. Okay, Phil,

880
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 1: I get it all right. I mean that's right. I

881
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: mean we all suffered through it together. I mean it was.

882
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: And you know what though, and I know there's a

883
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: little bit of this out there, although nobody's gonna base

884
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: their entire evaluation on it. Everybody and I think even

885
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 1: a guy like Phil who just called in and said, start,

886
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, wouldn't you just love to see Nathan Peterman

887
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: come back and just knock out of the part. Wouldn't

888
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: everybody's like to see that. What a story that would be.

889
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: That guy. We do and he's and for those of

890
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,439
Speaker 1: you know, we talk about him like he's a great dude.

891
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: I mean, and the guys that his teammates rave about him,

892
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: his coaches rave about him. Obviously he's here because the

893
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: coaches really like him and they see something in him.

894
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,720
Speaker 1: He has redeemed himself in their eyes for what happened,

895
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: And wouldn't it be great? I mean, there's no doubt

896
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 1: you in ten years from now, you'd see a movie

897
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: about it, about him going through what he went through

898
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: and then coming back and having maybe a nice career

899
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 1: like I put together a nice career for himself. Who knows,

900
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: But I think all of us deep down would love

901
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 1: to see that. Yeah. But but but Josh Hellen's got

902
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: a big arm. Josh Allen starts Sunday. Why is it

903
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 1: because it's his turned or because he's played well? More

904

924
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 1: the focus is on defense. It's really good. It's a

925
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: I like this segment better than I did Episode one.

926
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: Episode one was great because it was kind of got

927
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 1: into as about Sean McDermott, his leadership skills, some of

928
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 1: the things that he said and did to the team

929
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: which were fun in training camp. This one is as

930
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: you said, Leslie Frasier comes out and this is got

931
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: some players in it, and it's also got some coach

932
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 1: evaluations and how they're talking about their players. It's it's

933
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: pretty cool. This was I think for me, much more

934
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: interesting than episode one. I'm I'm I'm obviously Murph and

935
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: I have seen it, so it's pretty awesome. The tonight's episode.

936
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 1: Tonight's episode takes inside a personnel meeting a camp and

937
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: you hear coaches talking about Kyle Williams and Tremaine Edmonds

938
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: will be our guest here later on in the show,

939
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: Micah Hi, Jordan Poyer. It's really good. They previewed it

940
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: yesterday on NFL Live on ESPN, and Lewis Riddick Adam

941
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: Schefter both had a look and really like what they

942
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: had to see with part two of Embedded. That is

943
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott to a tea. This is the guy who

944
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: was a former high school wrestler, a guy who's all

945
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: about effort, who's all about want it the hard way,

946
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: coming up the hard way. So when he said talent

947
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: plus habits, he wants to be a part of talent

948
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: with no habits. He doesn't want to be a part

949
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: of that. That's what he's all about. He really is

950
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,479
Speaker 1: about the work, and he is about his blue collar

951
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: as it gets it. He's extremely extremely intelligent. And then

952
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: that short clip, all of that came through when it

953
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 1: came through naturally, which I think players sit there and go, Okay,

954
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 1: I can buy into this right here, and you're right.

955
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: The goosebumps instantly start prickling up because you start going

956
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: was the only one. It's combined with music and TV

957
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: makes it more dramatic, but I mean it is. It's

958
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 1: pretty cool to hear him get that. The one thing

959
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 1: that's to that though, is he the attention of that room.

960
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: It looked like he commanded the respect of that room.

961
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 1: Those guys were sitting there and they were intent upon

962
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 1: everything that he was seen. Lewis Riddick and then Adam

963
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 1: Schefter talking about part one of Him Betted, which they

964
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: saw last week. Embedded Part two coming up tonight on

Speaker 1: an insight look at training camp. It's it's fun. Yeah.

969
00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: This one was a lot. Like said, I like this

970
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,399
Speaker 1: better than episode one. Episode one was a lot about

971
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,800
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott. This one they get into the nitty gritty

972
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 1: nuts and bolts of training camp and that's interesting. I

973
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 1: think not only for me, for a lot of people

974
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,520

975

1002
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,800

1003
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: the league's personal conduct policy. The discipline stems from a

1004
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: petition found by the mother of his first child that

1005
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,320

Speaker 1: tackle Donovan Smith will mix the next two to four

1008
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: weeks with a spraying right knee. The extent on timetable

1009
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 1: for Smith's injury just coming out. Team sources say they

1010
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,720
Speaker 1: are optimistic it will not be a long term injury,

1011
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 1: and Ohio state's Board of Trustees has started deliberating the

1012
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 1: findings of a two week investigation into allegations at football

1013
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:15,160

1021
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 1: season people? I wanted to see the team. It's one

1022
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 1: of the places I hadn't checked out on my twenty

1023
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: something team camp tour, so you know, I would like

1024
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 1: to get to Rochester, get a garbage plate, kind of

1025
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: check out the scenery. It's a It's a place I

1026
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:49,800
Speaker 1: love to come every year. Wasn't able to do it

1027
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 1: this year, so took a day, came out to Buffalo

1028
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 1: and that's it that I'm done traveling for the season. Basic.

1029
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if they told you Buffalo drafted a

1030
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,839
Speaker 1: guy at quarterback, did you get a chance to Um,

1031
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 1: you know I did hear about that. Um, I've been

1032
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 1: reading a little bit about it seems there's, uh, there's

1033
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: a little bit of optimism there. You know. It's uh,

1034
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 1: you know, I've known a lot about Josh Allen. I

1035
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 1: remember hearing about him two years ago. Um, you know

1036
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 1: when when all the scouts were saying, man, we gotta

1037
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,399
Speaker 1: go up you know, somewhere up north to go see

1038
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: this quarterback that everyone's talking about. And UM, I knew

1039
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 1: he had a good arm, but man, he really he

1040
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: really slings it like there's you know, I've seen some

1041
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 1: really good arms up close and personal. Um, but this

1042
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 1: it just comes out of his hands so easy, you know.

1043
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's like it's like watching Jay Cutler throw.

1044
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: How much more to the job than arm strength? Right?

1045
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: What do you see about the ask Jake Cutler. Uh. Yeah,

1046
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: I mean obviously, you know, obviously a lot more, but

1047
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 1: having a cannon is a pretty good place to start. Um.

1048
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's definitely a work in progress. And

1049
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 1: I think for fort of us, who focused real hard

1050
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 1: in the pre draft, you know, so much of the

1051
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 1: discussion was about you know, so much the discussion was

1052
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 1: about a completion percentage, and you know how efficient he

1053
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: can be. And I think some of those questions, some

1054
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 1: of those concerns still exist. You know you're watching. I mean,

1055
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: look right now at this touchdown, off schedule of aids

1056
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,400
Speaker 1: of aids, the pressure kind of slings a little bit.

1057
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,919
Speaker 1: And you know, I mean there's some of the things

1058
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 1: that you can't really coach, that you can't really account for.

1059
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: Are some of the things that he does the best.

1060
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 1: He's never going to be perfect. I mean, he might

1061
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: be perfect, but he's not gonna be perfect right now.

1062
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: But there certainly is a line of thinking. You know,

1063
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: he's fun to watch, he's exciting, He's someone who is

1064
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:46,399
Speaker 1: going to go out and make plays and also screw

1065
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 1: up a little bit. Why would you not just play him?

1066
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: How much of a risk would it be if the

1067
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills decided to start him September nine, start the

1068
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,760
Speaker 1: season with him, It would be a risk. It absolutely

1069
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 1: would be a risk. I mean, you guys, we're just

1070
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,479
Speaker 1: talking about off air schedule. I mean it is hard.

1071
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:05,800
Speaker 1: Three legit, hardcore defenses right off the bat and for

1072
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 1: and on on the road a couple of them too,

1073
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 1: and it's a lot, and you know, he seems like

1074
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 1: he's pretty balanced emotionally mentally, and you know, I think

1075
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: Sean mcdernan and the coaching staff, Brian dave Ball will

1076
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 1: have a good idea coming out of this week how

1077
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: he can handle being in the spotlight, because you know,

1078
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: when you're the man, things do change a little bit sometimes.

1079
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 1: But it is a risk because let's say he goes

1080
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 1: out and you know, makes a couple, you know, a

1081
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: couple of key interceptions, a couple bad plays. You don't

1082
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,360
Speaker 1: want it to kind of snowball for a rookie. So

1083
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 1: I can sort of see it either way. I could see, hey,

1084
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 1: look he's great, he's dynamic, let's get him out there.

1085
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 1: Or you know what, we're not killing anyone by just

1086
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 1: starting Nathan Peterman, who we like a lot, and saving

1087
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen for whenever. Yeah, and you got a guy

1088
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:58,839
Speaker 1: like Nathan Peterman. We've had this debate, obviously, I'm going

1089
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 1: for a long time about a particularly last couple of weeks.

1090
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman has played extremely well, absolutely a high completion percentage.

1091
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 1: The only bad mistake he had was a doin cup

1092
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 1: of guys face mask was a deflect interception hard to

1093
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 1: bench a guy like that in favor of a young guy.

1094
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 1: But that's really what you're asking, How good did Josh

1095
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: Allen have to play in this one game? And plus

1096
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 1: there's all the stuff nobody sees, and the meetings and

1097
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 1: the and all of that stuff they go into the mix.

1098
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 1: Do you is the risk just as great if you

1099
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,879
Speaker 1: start Nate Peterman? I don't think it is. I would

1100
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 1: agree there's really not much risk if you start Nathan

1101
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 1: Peterman because look, I mean, you know, the bill's drafted

1102
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 1: Josh Allen knowing he was going to be a project,

1103
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 1: knowing he was going to take a little bit of time.

1104
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: So if they say we love him, we think we

1105
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 1: did great. Great kid, great, I'm great quarterback, not quite

1106
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 1: ready yet, nobody would throw a fit. The only really,

1107
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 1: the only reason you know to start him now is

1108
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 1: if everyone in the locker room knows, right, that's it.

1109
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 1: You know, if every if if you say you know,

1110
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman's our starter, and you have half the locker

1111
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 1: room roll in their eyes and going, yeah, sure he is,

1112
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: that's bad. Now. One thing about McDermott, and I think

1113
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:13,239
Speaker 1: he's shown, is he has an incredibly good feel for

1114
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: the locker room, the climate of the team, how to

1115
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 1: handle guys, and it's something when I was, you know,

1116
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: when he was at head coach candidate, I did not

1117
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 1: anticipate that. You know, there were questions like, how how

1118
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 1: can he how how can he handle the room? What's

1119
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 1: it going to be like as a leader. I do

1120
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 1: not think we have those questions anymore. So I think

1121
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 1: he is in a perfect position to handle it. But

1122
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:36,320
Speaker 1: those are going to be some of the issues. You know,

1123
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 1: what's the locker room going to think? You know, if

1124
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:41,680
Speaker 1: I name Nathan peterm in the starter because it's safer,

1125
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,359
Speaker 1: and I agree it is safer, is the locker room

1126
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 1: going to go? We should start the other guy, right,

1127
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:50,919
Speaker 1: Affine Rapp Report, National Insider, NFL Network. And what would

1128
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: the Bills be putting at risk if they start Josh Allen?

1129
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 1: Besides Josh Allen's future, which is considerable, I understand that,

1130
00:52:57,719 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 1: but what kind of a season would they be putting

1131
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 1: at risk? What would they be saying about their expectations

1132
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 1: for twenty eighteen. I don't think anything, because I don't

1133
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,880
Speaker 1: think it'd be a decision where you say, all right,

1134
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna put him out there he's not going to

1135
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 1: be good enough, but we're building for the future. I mean,

1136
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:14,759
Speaker 1: this is you know, the Bills were a lot better

1137
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 1: last year than I anticipated, probably a lot of people anticipated.

1138
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 1: And they seem similar. I mean, I don't know if

1139
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 1: everything will break this way. I don't. You never quite know,

1140
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:30,320
Speaker 1: but they seem pretty similar. But you so, you wouldn't

1141
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 1: put him out there like just to learn to get

1142
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:35,359
Speaker 1: his feet wet, to crash around, and you know, we'll

1143
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:37,279
Speaker 1: be okay in twenty nineteen and this is a year

1144
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: you can win, make the playoffs again. I mean, this

1145
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 1: should be a good season. So he has to be

1146
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 1: either the better option or exactly the same, and we're

1147
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 1: gonna go upside rather than safe. Yeah, what played like

1148
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:55,320
Speaker 1: a golf hold instead of take the aid off the

1149
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 1: card with Piderman and give away the chance of going

1150
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 1: for eagle to Bertie on a whole, Right, you mean

1151
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:03,479
Speaker 1: you want to take away the big mistake by putting

1152
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:05,439
Speaker 1: Peterman in. Yeah, I mean I know a lot about

1153
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: making big mistakes on the golf course, right, although I

1154
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 1: don't play as much anymore because its training camps and stuff.

1155
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:14,320
Speaker 1: But I feel you so, and that's really you know,

1156
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,800
Speaker 1: that's that's where we sit here, and until something happens,

1157
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to kind of ride it out and

1158
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:19,800
Speaker 1: see how they both play it out. Yeah, and I

1159
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:22,399
Speaker 1: will say this, like you know, and I work hard

1160
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,320
Speaker 1: to know a lot of things about a lot of teams.

1161
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 1: I feel like, I, you know, it feels like that

1162
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 1: it's going in Josh Allen's direction just by general feeling

1163
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 1: the fact that he's starting a game, which is very important.

1164
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 1: But I don't know, because you know, McDermot could come

1165
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 1: out and explain that Nathan Peterman's a starter, and I

1166
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 1: could go, I do think it's open. I really do

1167
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 1: think it's open. I think some of it depends on

1168
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 1: the play on Sunday, but I do think it's open.

1169
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 1: It feels like Josh Allen. But I'm definitely not going

1170
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 1: to say the decision is made in a minute ago

1171
00:54:56,560 --> 00:55:00,320
Speaker 1: in you talked about um not knowing about Sean dermot

1172
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:02,399
Speaker 1: and how he would handle his locker room. What did

1173
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 1: you national guys in particular, But you learn about McDermott

1174
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 1: from Last Spill season nine wins, I mean, yeah, I

1175
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 1: mean the nine wins is nice, it was all I mean,

1176
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 1: it was a great season. They won a lot of games.

1177
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 1: It was cool, But to me, so much of it

1178
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:19,800
Speaker 1: came down to the way he handled the quarterback situation.

1179
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:23,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Tyrod comes out, Peterman goes in,

1180
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 1: has a couple of bad breaks, and then you know,

1181
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: a horrific hat really just the most horrific half you

1182
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: could imagine. And that's a kind of situation where, especially

1183
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 1: first time head coach, you know, could risk losing it.

1184
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:40,840
Speaker 1: I mean, the guys could revolt, you know, the players

1185
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 1: could say this, this guy is not the right guy

1186
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:44,879
Speaker 1: to lead the team. I mean, that is a talk

1187
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 1: about a risk, that is a risk, and instead it

1188
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 1: became just a blip on the radar. And that's what's

1189
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:54,399
Speaker 1: crazy to me is, first of all, Tyrod came out

1190
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:56,440
Speaker 1: and talked to the press and handled it like a man,

1191
00:55:56,640 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 1: like a pro, and you know that he didn't he

1192
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 1: didn't say anything bad about his head coach, would who

1193
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 1: had just benched him anything. And the guys, i mean, obviously,

1194
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 1: you guys know that guy's really fed off Tyrod, and

1195
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 1: I think that spoke volumes and he came out, he

1196
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 1: basically admitted a mistake, put Tyrod back in, and they

1197
00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 1: made the playoffs. That's incredible. That's a lot to handle

1198
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,319
Speaker 1: for any coach, a veteran coach, let alone, so owner

1199
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 1: has never done it before. To me get through that unscathed,

1200
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: the players believe in you. You're gonna be fine. So

1201
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 1: you've gone to twenty plus training camps around and for

1202
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 1: the first time, and I was thinking about this. We

1203
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 1: got a lot of quarterbacks that flew around the league

1204
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:39,799
Speaker 1: this year, from Kirk Cousins to the guy in Denver.

1205
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 1: A case came on, all these guys. Teddy Bridgewater is

1206
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 1: playing pretty well for the New York Jets, and it

1207
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: looks like from all he's not going to be a

1208
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:52,400
Speaker 1: New York Jet. What's the situation there? Yeah, I am

1209
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:53,840
Speaker 1: not ready to say he's not going to be in

1210
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: New York Jet because you know, everyone's talking about trade

1211
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 1: and what they're going to get. I don't know where

1212
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 1: he goes, like where you guys you saw late in

1213
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 1: the game. It's well, it's late in the game. Yes,

1214
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 1: so we'd have to go to a place that's comfortable.

1215
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 1: But you know, the Panthers are a place everyone says, cool.

1216
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 1: Let's say the Panthers trade for him. What are you

1217
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 1: going to trade for a backup quarterback. We know what

1218
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 1: the market's been. It's been a six round pick, maybe

1219
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 1: a five, but you get a seven back. I mean

1220
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:22,959
Speaker 1: it has been late rounders. So why would the Jets

1221
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 1: do that? You know what if Sam Donald's good and

1222
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: they're six and six in December and he gets hurt,

1223
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 1: don't they want Bridgewater there? Then to maybe McCown? Yeah? Yeah,

1224
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 1: so why wo I think he is? Now? The m

1225
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 1: account contract is bad. Ten million dollars a year for

1226
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 1: one year. That's bad. Um. But you'd have to get

1227
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 1: the value back. And it's easy for people to say.

1228
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 1: People say, I'll see it on TV all the time.

1229
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 1: You know, Oh, well, you gotta trade him to Jacksonville.

1230
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 1: He's better than Bortles. You're not trading. You're not trading

1231
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 1: for Teddy Bridgewater and benching Bortles. You're just not not

1232
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 1: right now? You know, where's he going to go to

1233
00:57:58,000 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 1: be a starter? And if he's not going to be

1234
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: a starter, which he's not going to be right now,

1235
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 1: then who's going to give up a solid mid round

1236
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 1: pick for a backup? Tyrod got a three. Now, that

1237
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 1: was a great trade for the Bills, obviously, but Tyrod

1238
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 1: was worth a three, and he's a starting quarterback, a legit,

1239
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 1: absolute starting quarterback. Teddy's not gonna get anywhere near that, right,

1240
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:24,520
Speaker 1: you can rapiport National Insider, NFL Network. You talked about

1241
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 1: the twenty campsit you've been to so far, the rookies

1242
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 1: and the first round whos we're talking about primarily here.

1243
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 1: Let's leave Josh Allen aside. Who's got the best chance

1244
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: to be a starter. We agree, we don't know what

1245
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 1: where it's gonna go with Josh, but any of these

1246
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 1: rookies gonna start. Sam, Sam darn Darnold for I wouldn't

1247
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 1: say for sure, but he's got a great chance. I

1248
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: mean he's gonna go out there. I'm sure. First this week,

1249
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 1: he's looked great. I mean, they Jets were giddy after

1250
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:51,920
Speaker 1: they got him. They couldn't believe that the Browns and

1251
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:56,320
Speaker 1: the Giants passed. This was their number one guy. He's

1252
00:58:56,360 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 1: got great hair. I think you know that. That's even

1253
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 1: though Bridgewater has probably been better than expect has been

1254
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:07,600
Speaker 1: better than expected. McCown's good. Um. I would be really

1255
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 1: surprised if Josh McCown does not start, and then the

1256
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 1: other ones. I think I'm sorry Sam, John I'm sorry.

1257
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 1: I'll be very surprised if Sam Donald does not does

1258
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:18,920
Speaker 1: not start, and the other ones, you know, will be backups,

1259
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 1: and uh um, we'll be ready. We saw Baker Mayfield

1260
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 1: last week. There's a lot to like about Baker Mayfield.

1261
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 1: I'm not saying start him, but you can see why. Yea,

1262
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 1: the problems would be so interested guy. Oh yeah, and

1263
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 1: you know some of the stuff that I really liked

1264
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 1: about Josh allen Off scheduled throws, evading the rush, slaying it. Um,

1265
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,919
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield has the same stuff. You know. I would

1266
00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 1: say Baker looks to be a little more, you know,

1267
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:48,000
Speaker 1: to be ready or quicker, but who knows, because he's

1268
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 1: Baker's not gonna play immediately. And you know, Tyrod is

1269
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 1: always going to be very steady. Never quite lets it

1270
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 1: go like you'd like, never quite fires it or takes chances,

1271
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 1: but it's always going to be very steady. I don't

1272
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 1: know when they make the move, but it's not going

1273
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 1: to be immediate. So Baker will start on the bench. YEA.

1274
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 1: One word rookie to ask about it at the bottom

1275
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:12,280
Speaker 1: of the first round, Lamar Jackson, who had a rough

1276
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: outing Monday night. YEA, just give it your sense of him,

1277
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 1: his role on that team and the Baltimore Ravens in general,

1278
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 1: that by'll see them week one. Yeah, I think it's

1279
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 1: gonna take some time. I would expect him to be

1280
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 1: active on game days and available in some packages as

1281
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 1: a receiver, as a quarterback who going to run around.

1282
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:34,440
Speaker 1: But I think it's pretty clear he's not ready. And

1283
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 1: you know, they took him the last pick of the

1284
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 1: first round, so he's under contract for five years, as

1285
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 1: opposed to if you took him in the second round

1286
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 1: it's four years. They have Joe Flacco, who is probably

1287
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 1: playing his best football. They have time. They're not going

1288
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 1: to rush and they can't because he is. He's obviously

1289
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:56,320
Speaker 1: not ready. And you know, the pure athleticism, the electricity

1290
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 1: that he plays. I mean, there's a lot to like.

1291
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 1: But there some stuff where you say, I mean, you've

1292
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 1: seen some legit quarterbacking in your day, there's some stuff

1293
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 1: where you say, this is just not NFL quality. Yet,

1294
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 1: let's look around the league and on the other side

1295
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 1: of the football, a couple of more key players, Khalil

1296
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 1: Mack and Aaron Rodgers are they is Aaron Rodgers, Aaron

1297
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 1: Donald forgive me, Khalil Mack and Aaron Donald, are those

1298
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 1: guys just you know what taking a training camp off?

1299
01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:23,920
Speaker 1: I mean, does Aaron Donald just kind of come in

1300
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:26,520
Speaker 1: like we just saw this last year. Well, I think

1301
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 1: Donald's hoping for a new deal, and you know that, Well,

1302
01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 1: I guess they're talking. They're definitely talking. You know, the

1303
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 1: general manager has been on record and saying they're in

1304
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 1: the same area code and the same as zip code.

1305
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 1: We'll see if they can get a deal done the

1306
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 1: next two weeks. I think it's possible. Um, you know,

1307
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack is they're they're not talking. That's a difference.

1308
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 1: That's a different scenario. It's a different scenario. And you know,

1309
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of questions. I mean, the Raiders

1310
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 1: put down all that money for a new stadium. They're moving.

1311
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:54,920
Speaker 1: They've never been a team that can just spend freely.

1312
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 1: They just paid their quarterback twenty five million dollars. Can

1313
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 1: they get a deal done before training camp? You know,

1314
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:03,840
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know if they can. I would

1315
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:06,520
Speaker 1: be surprised if they do, honestly, But then what happens

1316
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 1: because you know, he's sort of Khalil Mack has talked

1317
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:12,760
Speaker 1: very tough. He's very upset about the way things are going.

1318
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:19,120
Speaker 1: But missing games is very serious, that is, and it's money,

1319
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:23,440
Speaker 1: you know, it's uh, what is it? Fourteen million dollars?

1320
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 1: I forget the actual fifth year option number, but you know,

1321
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 1: I mean, is he gonna is he gonna give up

1322
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:32,840
Speaker 1: seven million dollars? Is there a move for Khalil Mack

1323
01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 1: before this season begins or is it something that maybe

1324
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:38,240
Speaker 1: they'll make some dealing He'll he'll be gone at the

1325
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 1: end of the season, before next season. You mean, as

1326
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 1: far as trades, this is to my knowledge, they have

1327
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 1: not considered any trades. I know, teams have called. I mean,

1328
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:48,760
Speaker 1: obviously teams are called he's a great player, But to

1329
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:51,760
Speaker 1: my knowledge, they have not considered any trades. And um,

1330
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's tough because whoever trades for him, obviously

1331
01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a first round pick and they're gonna

1332
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 1: have to pay twenty million plus in salary. Who can

1333
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:04,000
Speaker 1: afford that? And where's the value there? I mean, that

1334
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:06,160
Speaker 1: is that really good? Not that many teams that are

1335
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 1: even able to do that right let alone? I mean,

1336
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 1: certainly right now, you know how many teams have budgeted

1337
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 1: for twenty million dollars contract right now on a couple ian.

1338
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 1: Is there a concern in India about Andrew Luck his

1339
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 1: performance Monday maybe adding to some of that. No, obviously

1340
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:25,160
Speaker 1: he didn't look great Monday, but they anticipated this, and

1341
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 1: I've talked to a lot of people there. I mean,

1342
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 1: they thought that preseason would be rough. You know, health

1343
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:32,560
Speaker 1: wise is great. Everyone's optimistic there, but it was very

1344
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 1: clear when I was there, like, he's not gonna look

1345
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:38,080
Speaker 1: great for a little bit. Like fundamentals are tough. He's

1346
01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 1: having to relearn how to throw and he's kind of

1347
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 1: all over the place sometime. No, it makes some throws

1348
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 1: that are great, but you know, it is a work

1349
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:51,240
Speaker 1: in progress. But he's healthy, thankfully. He's has one of

1350
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 1: the great minds we've seen as a quarterback, and he's

1351
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 1: working himself back into sort of fundamental shape. They think

1352
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:59,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna be okay. Is he gonna be the Andrew

1353
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 1: Luck bold? Like, I can't predict that. But he's healthy,

1354
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:12,480
Speaker 1: he's brilliant, and he's working so generally generally that that

1355
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 1: means things will go in the right direction. You got

1356
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:17,960
Speaker 1: one more, you have time for one more quick. The Patriots,

1357
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 1: the Buffalo's nemesis, U with all that's happened in the offseason,

1358
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:22,960
Speaker 1: is are we just looking at more of the same

1359
01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:26,160
Speaker 1: twelve fourteen wins, division title, probably deep into the playoffs.

1360
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 1: Give us a shred of hope, give us something to

1361
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 1: clink nothing, huh. I mean the Bells could be good too. Yeah,

1362
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:34,080
Speaker 1: they were good too last year. Yeah, you know, but

1363
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:37,600
Speaker 1: the Patriots aren't going anywhere. You know, it's like every year,

1364
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 1: there's not really this year, but every year there's like, oh,

1365
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 1: is this the year this team beats the Patriots? You know,

1366
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 1: when the Dolphins were good this year they top no, No,

1367
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 1: I mean until Tom Brady retires in you know, ten

1368
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 1: or twelve years, until Bell Belichick retires in twenty or

1369
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:57,520
Speaker 1: thirty years, they're gonna be good. Um, not unbeatable, but

1370
01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:02,320
Speaker 1: good and really good. And you know, this year Belichick

1371
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:05,040
Speaker 1: and Brady sound. They're more in the same page than

1372
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:08,680
Speaker 1: they were late last year. They soundand they're okay, Um,

1373
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:13,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're gonna be awesome. And uh, I'm sure

1374
01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna be awesome always are. No hope, Ian, thanks

1375

1389
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:08,160
Speaker 1: Charles Davis will join us Friday. He's part of the

1390
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:10,880
Speaker 1: broadcast team for Fox. He's a great guy. We also

1391
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:13,360
Speaker 1: talked to him at the at the Senior Bowl, and

1392
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 1: I think we had him at the Combine this year.

1393
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 1: One of my favorites. You know, Charles Davis a little

1394
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 1: bit right, a little bit and you can see his

1395
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:21,320
Speaker 1: star rising on the Fox Sports Network and it should.

1396
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:24,320
Speaker 1: He's really good, quality, quality broadcaster. Look forward to talking

1397
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 1: to him Friday on the show. Thank you to Ian Rappaportum.

1398
01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:32,920
Speaker 1: Comparison to Jay Cutler, what do you make of that? Um?

1399
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:35,800
Speaker 1: But Josh, I don't know. Listen, everybody Wold was wild

1400
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 1: with Jay Cutler in his arm. Yeah, I don't see

1401
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 1: that similarity neither. Yeah, I don't know. You know, the Bills,

1402
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 1: but I hope not. Yeah, the Bills. Like Jay Cutler,

1403
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:50,840
Speaker 1: I thought about drafting and Marv Levy in particular. I

1404
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 1: think Marve was still here, was either GM that year

1405
01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 1: or was he still Marvel liked him alone Jay Cutler.

1406
01:06:56,880 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 1: Marv thought he would have a good He had active career,

1407
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:06,360
Speaker 1: he can sling it, but he lacked something in leadership

1408
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 1: and whatever teammate ability. Yeah, and that's the part that

1409
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:11,960
Speaker 1: I disagree with when you compared Josh Allen him, it

1410
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:13,480
Speaker 1: seems to me, and I've said this on the show,

1411
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is exceedingly deferential almost to his veteran teammates.

1412
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:21,160
Speaker 1: You know, he wants to get along with everybody. He's

1413
01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:24,080
Speaker 1: looking engage. Jay Cutler would never looked engaged with the

1414
01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 1: players that he played with or against. Never looked like

1415
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:33,040
Speaker 1: he was passionate about playing football, and you know, Josh

1416
01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:36,800
Speaker 1: Allen displays all of those things. So the arm strength, yeah,

1417
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:39,880
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the one similarity you can say. I

1418
01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 1: think even Josh Allen has better arm strength probably well,

1419
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 1: particularly at this point of his career. Obviously he does,

1420
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:48,880
Speaker 1: but yeah, I don't know. Everybody picks their own comparisons, right,

1421
01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 1: what do you think, Josh Ellen? It's our topic of

1422
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:53,080
Speaker 1: the day and we hope to hear from Josh momentarily.

1423
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:55,560
Speaker 1: Is the bills are minutes away from wrapping up practice.

1424
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 1: He's going to do a press conference afterwards. We think

1425
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 1: mccaren is going to and we think Competerman will as well.

1426
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:02,800
Speaker 1: We'll pick him up live or on tape for you

1427
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:05,040
Speaker 1: and the rest of the show, and Tremine Edmonds coming

1428
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:06,600
Speaker 1: up live in our studio also. But what do you

1429
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:10,040
Speaker 1: think is Josh Allen starting Sunday because it's his turn

1430
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:13,120
Speaker 1: or is it because he's played well? Give us a call,

1431
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 1: let us know what you think. Eight oh three fifty

1432
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 1: toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two five

1433
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 1: fifty call on this topic. I'm sorry you don't have

1434
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:21,640
Speaker 1: your name. Can you hear me? Are you on the

1435
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:25,880
Speaker 1: heir with us here. Hello, yeah, Hi, who's this? Hi? Guys,

1436
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:27,840
Speaker 1: This is Mark from me Sammers. Hey, Mark, what do

1437
01:08:27,920 --> 01:08:31,240
Speaker 1: you think? Um? Right now? You know? And I think

1438
01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:33,200
Speaker 1: we're listening to a commercial a little bit ago with

1439
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 1: McDermott saying that's a competition, and I think that's as

1440
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 1: a pretty straightforward He's getting his term this week to

1441
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:42,560
Speaker 1: you know, show again his opportunity what he can do

1442
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:48,360
Speaker 1: overall as a franchise. I think that, you know, he

1443
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:52,759
Speaker 1: has to exceedingly do things this week to prove himself

1444
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:55,040
Speaker 1: if he wants to start for the regular season. I

1445
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:57,840
Speaker 1: think that, you know, one thing that I'll be looking

1446
01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:01,680
Speaker 1: for is his composure on our particular pressure. If the

1447
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:04,920
Speaker 1: defense really shows it, he might not get that opportunity

1448
01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:08,720
Speaker 1: this week. So as of right now, I think it's

1449
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:11,599
Speaker 1: just you know, another turn in the competition. And right

1450
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:14,720
Speaker 1: now Peterman looks to be the better guy at the

1451
01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:18,639
Speaker 1: NFL experience. He's gone through the shakes of last year

1452
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:22,519
Speaker 1: and they know that and he's doing extremely well. You know,

1453
01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:26,000
Speaker 1: let me interrupt him for a second. That Nathan Peterman's

1454
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:30,200
Speaker 1: two NFL starts significant when it comes to NFL experience

1455
01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:34,439
Speaker 1: compared to a rookie, I would I would say it would.

1456
01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:39,000
Speaker 1: I think that will be seen Josh Allen. If he

1457
01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:42,679
Speaker 1: starts the regular season, he will be going through those

1458
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:45,960
Speaker 1: emotions his first game. Whether he plays well or not,

1459
01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:49,519
Speaker 1: he will be feeling those things. Peterman already knows what

1460
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:53,840
Speaker 1: to expect at that point. I think you're overstating. I

1461
01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:55,719
Speaker 1: don't know that those two games mean that much. Steve

1462
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:58,320
Speaker 1: your thoughts, well, I think it's more than just two games.

1463
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:00,360
Speaker 1: I think it's a full year. I think a full

1464
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:02,000
Speaker 1: year on a team that was going to the playoffs.

1465
01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 1: I think it was an atmosphere that he was a

1466
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:06,560
Speaker 1: part of for the whole changing of the culture and

1467
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:09,759
Speaker 1: see everything come together. I think that's as much about

1468
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:11,720
Speaker 1: it as getting the starts. I think the starts serve

1469
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:14,000
Speaker 1: him well, no question, But I think the fact that

1470
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:17,120
Speaker 1: he was in an NFL team that was good enough

1471
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 1: and in a battle from start to finish. It wasn't

1472
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:21,360
Speaker 1: like he sat back, had no chance to play. He

1473
01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:24,599
Speaker 1: was in the mix. Plus they were battling from week

1474
01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:26,400
Speaker 1: one all the way to Week seventeen to try and

1475
01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:29,720
Speaker 1: get in the playoffs, and they made it that atmosphere

1476
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:32,760
Speaker 1: in that experience, I think will serve Nathan Peterman as

1477
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:34,840
Speaker 1: well as for the fact that he went through a

1478
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:38,280
Speaker 1: week to get into a real start. Plus let's getting

1479
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:42,760
Speaker 1: his head caved in against the LA Chargers. I think

1480
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:44,760
Speaker 1: now as you look back on its probably something that's

1481
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 1: really going to serve him. Well, nobody wanted to see

1482
01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:49,120
Speaker 1: him go through that, but I think that's something that

1483
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:51,120
Speaker 1: he can take into any game he goes into and

1484
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 1: know that, hey, it's been worse than this, and so

1485
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:55,920
Speaker 1: I think it wasn't just two starts. I think it

1486
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 1: was that full year. That really says a lot about

1487
01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:02,479
Speaker 1: what Nathan Peterman um can handle once he's on the field.

1488
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:04,840
Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna break. When we returned, Tremaine Edmonds,

1489
01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:07,160
Speaker 1: we'll join us live in studio just off the field

1490
01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 1: as practice comes to an end. Steve and I back

1491
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:11,960
Speaker 1: with more One Bills Live from One Bill's Drive on

1492
01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:25,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. I'll come back to One Bill's Live

1496
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:36,839
Speaker 1: us a chance to talk with Bill's rookie Lambacker Tremaine

1497
01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:39,040
Speaker 1: Edmonds Tremaine, thanks you coming boy. We appreciate it, thanks

1498
01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:40,800
Speaker 1: for having I'm just reading the media guy that says

1499
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:44,280
Speaker 1: nicknamed Maine. Do people call you Maine? Can we call

1500
01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:48,519
Speaker 1: you Maine? Good Main calling him Maine. I will stay

1501
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:51,000
Speaker 1: with Tremaine for that. Um, how's it now? It's a

1502
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:53,599
Speaker 1: different atmosphere here. You're a week out of training camp

1503
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:55,840
Speaker 1: and it's different here, and now you got a Sunday game.

1504
01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:57,479
Speaker 1: How has it changed for you being back here this

1505
01:11:57,600 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 1: week and compared to what you were doing down at

1506
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:02,120
Speaker 1: sat Fishure. I think the biggest thing is is just

1507
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:05,439
Speaker 1: you know, getting your mind in a in a real

1508
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 1: game like week, and you know, getting in a routine

1509
01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:11,000
Speaker 1: going over things. It's like a dress rehearsal. So before

1510
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:12,560
Speaker 1: the season starts, you know, you can kind of go

1511
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:15,040
Speaker 1: through what you do each and every week, and uh so,

1512
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:17,479
Speaker 1: just just approaching it like a real game week, uh

1513
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:21,200
Speaker 1: you know, film wise, study wise, and just going about

1514
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:22,400
Speaker 1: it that way. Are they getting you a just a

1515
01:12:22,439 --> 01:12:24,920
Speaker 1: little bit bigger game planning? They gave you a little

1516
01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:26,559
Speaker 1: bit of a game plan for these other two games,

1517
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:29,560
Speaker 1: but you know, not much. Are they extending that a

1518
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:31,880
Speaker 1: little bit to put a little more on your plate. Yeah,

1519
01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:33,800
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think so, just you know, getting

1520
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 1: everybody in the routine, if you know how a normal

1521
01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:38,479
Speaker 1: game week could be, so as far as game planning

1522
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:41,160
Speaker 1: and everything else to schedule wise and everything. So yeah,

1523
01:12:41,479 --> 01:12:42,880
Speaker 1: talk to talk to a little bit of the first

1524
01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:44,800
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. What do you think about how you've

1525
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:47,760
Speaker 1: been playing, what's going on, how it's progressing. I think

1526
01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:49,360
Speaker 1: the big thing is, you know, we all know as

1527
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:52,720
Speaker 1: a process and uh, you know, I've kept that in

1528
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 1: mind this whole time. And you know, I know for

1529
01:12:55,160 --> 01:12:57,160
Speaker 1: a fact that you don't just wake up and you

1530
01:12:57,240 --> 01:12:59,000
Speaker 1: know things are gonna be perfect like you wanted. So

1531
01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:01,000
Speaker 1: you gotta work for you got to earn it in

1532
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:03,080
Speaker 1: this league. And you know that's been my mindset since

1533
01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:05,439
Speaker 1: day one, this whole team's mindset, and I think we're

1534
01:13:05,479 --> 01:13:08,200
Speaker 1: taking steps for it each and every day. The Cleveland

1535
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:10,920
Speaker 1: game last Friday, the Browns broke off some early runs

1536
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:12,320
Speaker 1: against you. What did you see there when you were

1537
01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 1: back and looked at bid on what I would you

1538
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 1: evaluate the buffalo run defense? Then, you know, just community,

1539
01:13:17,280 --> 01:13:19,599
Speaker 1: We just got to communicate out there, you know, uh,

1540
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:21,160
Speaker 1: you know things are gonna happen in the course of

1541
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:23,639
Speaker 1: a ball game. You know, got some guys are gonna

1542
01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:25,759
Speaker 1: make some plays, but it's all about how you respond

1543
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:28,160
Speaker 1: to those plays. And you know, we made some adjustments

1544
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 1: on the sideline, and you know we came out and

1545
01:13:30,360 --> 01:13:32,519
Speaker 1: you know, try to correct ourselves. Yeah, it got better

1546
01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:34,559
Speaker 1: after the first series. I mean, you did come off

1547
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:36,479
Speaker 1: and we talked to Lorenzo Alexander earlier in the week

1548
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:38,160
Speaker 1: as well. He said, you know, we came off, we

1549
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:40,320
Speaker 1: talked about it, We talked about some things. What kind

1550
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:42,960
Speaker 1: of things do you talk about defensively when he come

1551
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:44,880
Speaker 1: off and say, hey, what happened here, what happened there? What?

1552
01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:48,200
Speaker 1: Because every play is different, but yet when he make

1553
01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:51,000
Speaker 1: adjustments it seems to help the whole defense every play house.

1554
01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:53,240
Speaker 1: What kind of adjustments and things do you talk about

1555
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:56,280
Speaker 1: when he make a defensive adjustments. That's kind of everything.

1556
01:13:56,720 --> 01:13:58,920
Speaker 1: You know, guys just talking about what they see out there.

1557
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:01,559
Speaker 1: You know, they're kind of fits. You know, it could

1558
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:03,200
Speaker 1: be it could be a whole lot of things, but

1559
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:05,479
Speaker 1: everybody just kind of you know, putting together what they

1560
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:08,320
Speaker 1: think they thought process on that play and then collectively

1561
01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:10,280
Speaker 1: coming up with a what a result from there? With

1562
01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:13,600
Speaker 1: Trene Edmunds, Bills rookie linebacker Um Tonight and Steve and

1563
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:15,840
Speaker 1: I had a chance to watch the newest installment of

1564
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:19,640
Speaker 1: the All Access Bill series Embedded, Buffalo Bills Embedded. There

1565
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:22,479
Speaker 1: was a great segment in there with I think it

1566
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:25,240
Speaker 1: was Leslie Frazier talking to you about using your length,

1567
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:28,200
Speaker 1: using your arms, you're using your height. Can you talk

1568
01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:29,920
Speaker 1: about that? What they're trying to convey to you? What

1569
01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:32,080
Speaker 1: the coaches tell you about the fact that you are

1570
01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:35,080
Speaker 1: taller and longer than most of the other offensive players

1571
01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:38,439
Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, just you know, constantly telling me, you know,

1572
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 1: just to use that to my advantage. And uh, you

1573
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:41,920
Speaker 1: know that's something that's that I think about all the

1574
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:44,720
Speaker 1: time as well. Uh you know, I've I've I've been

1575
01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:46,439
Speaker 1: giving my length and you know, I got to use

1576
01:14:46,479 --> 01:14:48,400
Speaker 1: it to my event as simple as that. And uh

1577
01:14:48,479 --> 01:14:50,639
Speaker 1: you know that's something I'm gonna continue to practice every day.

1578
01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:53,240
Speaker 1: Something I can see You've got to work on and uh,

1579
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:54,880
Speaker 1: you know, get it down to the team. What does

1580
01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:56,880
Speaker 1: that mean? Like keeping blockers off you you can use

1581
01:14:56,960 --> 01:14:58,800
Speaker 1: your long arm to keep it. I mean it means

1582
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:01,120
Speaker 1: everything can mean that, you know, just getting my hands

1583
01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:03,600
Speaker 1: up just just being in throwing lanes. You know, it

1584
01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:06,160
Speaker 1: could it could mean a whole lot of things. Talkers

1585
01:15:06,160 --> 01:15:08,439
Speaker 1: a little bit about this, Uh, I mean I noticed

1586
01:15:08,479 --> 01:15:11,519
Speaker 1: it this last week in Cleveland. As opposed to Caroline,

1587
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:13,519
Speaker 1: I saw a little of it. You seem to be

1588
01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:15,600
Speaker 1: a little bit by a little bit being able to

1589
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:19,920
Speaker 1: just say turn loose and just run thinking less, more

1590
01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:23,000
Speaker 1: reactive rather than thinking about whether you got everybody lined

1591
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:25,120
Speaker 1: up right because there's a lot on your plate. It

1592
01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:27,679
Speaker 1: seems to me like you're getting more comfortable just seeing

1593
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:29,320
Speaker 1: the ball and reacting to it. And I know it's

1594
01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:30,880
Speaker 1: a little different than where you played in college. Now

1595
01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:33,480
Speaker 1: you're in the middle. Talk a little bit about that transition,

1596
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:37,200
Speaker 1: and are you feeling like you're getting to a point

1597
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:38,920
Speaker 1: where you can play a little bit more free now

1598
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:41,000
Speaker 1: because you don't have to think so much? I yeah,

1599
01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:43,479
Speaker 1: I think you know. That's that's the number one thing

1600
01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:45,000
Speaker 1: a lot of players to say, you know, when they're

1601
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,439
Speaker 1: when they're out there playing without thinking. It allows you

1602
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:49,599
Speaker 1: to play fast, allow you to make more plays, and uh,

1603
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:52,200
Speaker 1: you know, when that time comes, when I get there,

1604
01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:53,960
Speaker 1: you know, I feel I'm feeling more and more better

1605
01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:56,439
Speaker 1: every day, more confident, and you know things that I

1606
01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:59,479
Speaker 1: do out there, you know, feel more comfortable in my position.

1607
01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:02,040
Speaker 1: So you know, just getting that downpack so I can

1608
01:16:02,080 --> 01:16:03,840
Speaker 1: just go out that play fast, let it loose, and

1609
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:06,040
Speaker 1: you know, just make more plays. Train back to that,

1610
01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:07,880
Speaker 1: and again, we just watched it this morning to the

1611
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:11,240
Speaker 1: this week's feature Buffalo Bills embedded, and I was watching

1612
01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:14,679
Speaker 1: you interact with coach Bob Babbage and thinking about Coach Babbage.

1613
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:16,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he just presented Brian Erlacker for the Pro

1614
01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:18,680
Speaker 1: Football Hall of Fame a couple of weeks ago. At

1615
01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:21,560
Speaker 1: your position, essentially, you got that's kind of carry some

1616
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:23,840
Speaker 1: weight with you, right when you know Coach Babbage had

1617
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:25,519
Speaker 1: one of the all time greats, a Hall of Famer,

1618
01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:27,960
Speaker 1: Brian Erlacker, And here he is telling you probably the

1619
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:30,360
Speaker 1: same things he told her Lacker twenty five years ago. Yeah,

1620
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:32,200
Speaker 1: it means a lot to me. You know, I just

1621
01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:34,479
Speaker 1: I take that in consideration. Every time he tells me

1622
01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:36,280
Speaker 1: some type of advice I could use on the field,

1623
01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:39,080
Speaker 1: just talking about life in general, and you know, I

1624
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:41,400
Speaker 1: trust tell him one hundred percent. So you know, things

1625
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:43,320
Speaker 1: that he telling me that could help my game, I

1626
01:16:43,439 --> 01:16:45,040
Speaker 1: make sure, you know, I stick with that I make

1627
01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:46,840
Speaker 1: sure I listened to him and you know, try to

1628
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:48,880
Speaker 1: add it to my game because he's been there. Like

1629
01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:51,600
Speaker 1: you said, he's coach Hall of Fame, a linebacker, so

1630
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:54,320
Speaker 1: everything that he's telling me is to my advantage. So

1631
01:16:54,439 --> 01:16:56,200
Speaker 1: you know, how did just sit back and listen? Other

1632
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:58,559
Speaker 1: than coaches, I'm sorry, Steve, Other than coaches? Who else

1633
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:00,880
Speaker 1: do you find yourself going to? Lee? I'm listening to

1634
01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:04,280
Speaker 1: out there on the field or even in the meeting rooms. Um,

1635
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:06,800
Speaker 1: like you said, coaches. I try to find a couple

1636
01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 1: of players. It's kind of hard for me to name

1637
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:10,200
Speaker 1: the players because I kind of just acts around just

1638
01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:13,360
Speaker 1: to see what everybody sees out there, because yeah, because

1639
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:15,920
Speaker 1: we all know you know more to want to do

1640
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:18,400
Speaker 1: that too. Yeah, exactly, man, So a couple of answers

1641
01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:20,200
Speaker 1: is better than just one. So I just like to

1642
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:22,680
Speaker 1: know what everybody's thinking, and you know, try to just

1643
01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:25,800
Speaker 1: get an idea about everything. Talk to us a little

1644
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:30,479
Speaker 1: bit about maybe, uh, what's different about this week? You

1645
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:32,799
Speaker 1: know it it's a game like week. So as opposed

1646
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:34,320
Speaker 1: to the training camp weeks and the other two games

1647
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:36,679
Speaker 1: you've played in the preseason games, why is this one different?

1648
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 1: Is that the schedule is it? The intensity is whatever,

1649
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:43,360
Speaker 1: the practice time is opposed to the meeting time. What's

1650
01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:46,000
Speaker 1: what's really different about this week as you get ready

1651
01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:48,240
Speaker 1: for this third preseason game, and it's supposed to be

1652
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:50,960
Speaker 1: like a game week. Yeah, well, like you said, it's

1653
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:52,679
Speaker 1: like a game week. So the schedule is a little

1654
01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:55,680
Speaker 1: bit different, you know, more emphasis towards our opponent, a

1655
01:17:55,760 --> 01:17:58,880
Speaker 1: little bit more game planning towards that, but still the

1656
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:00,920
Speaker 1: same kind of mindset, come out and get better with

1657
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:03,680
Speaker 1: each other. But like I said, just just that, uh,

1658
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:07,080
Speaker 1: just the part of game week. The game week schedule

1659
01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:10,000
Speaker 1: in the regular season includes Tuesdays off. Yeah, yesterday off?

1660
01:18:10,040 --> 01:18:12,720
Speaker 1: What did you do? I'll just spend your day off here, Uh,

1661
01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:15,640
Speaker 1: getting my body back right, you know, trying to get

1662
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:18,080
Speaker 1: back one hundred percent, just as far as feeling better,

1663
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:21,559
Speaker 1: so hot up, cold, tup, things like that. Uh, getting

1664
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 1: to try to get a heastart on film, um, little

1665
01:18:25,479 --> 01:18:27,200
Speaker 1: lift or something like that. But I kind of just

1666
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:29,080
Speaker 1: chilled out and get ready for the week. Are you

1667
01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:31,600

01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:40,919
Speaker 1: on Facebook to watch it. You just log on a Facebook.

1672

1679
01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:59,840
Speaker 1: the insight on It's good. You're in it, Jermaine. Thanks

01:18:59,840 --> 01:19:01,200
Speaker 1: for this, have a great rest of the week and

1681
01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:03,960
Speaker 1: continued success. Thanks for joining us. Thank good to see it.

1682
01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:07,759
Speaker 1: Jermaine Edwards, Bills rookie linebacker, joining us here in studio. Meantime,

1683
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:10,000
Speaker 1: the Bills come off the field and Nathan Peterman has

1684
01:19:10,040 --> 01:19:12,240
Speaker 1: gone to the podium to talk to the media. Let's

1685
01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:14,840
Speaker 1: hear what the Bills quarterback had to say today. Yeah,

1686
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:16,559
Speaker 1: I think, you know, that's kind of just always been

1687
01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:20,680
Speaker 1: my mentality, my personality, and I think it's what you

1688
01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:22,320
Speaker 1: have to have as a quarterback because there's so many

1689
01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:25,160
Speaker 1: highs and lows, you know, especially in this game at

1690
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:27,240
Speaker 1: the highest level that you just have to be able

1691
01:19:27,280 --> 01:19:29,639
Speaker 1: to you know, clear it clear that whatever the last

1692
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:31,439
Speaker 1: play was, if you just throw a touchdown or whatever

1693
01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:33,840
Speaker 1: and be able to go out there and execute the

1694
01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:36,600
Speaker 1: next play. So, UM, I think that's the mentality I

1695
01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:39,559
Speaker 1: gotta have, and um, hopefully I can continue to keep having,

1696
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:41,800
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, the ones or the threes or

1697
01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:44,200
Speaker 1: whoever you're out there with. Last week with the threes,

1698
01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:48,240
Speaker 1: for example, how do you try to be the same

1699
01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:52,240
Speaker 1: guy in the huddle knowing maybe sometimes there might be

1700
01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:54,439
Speaker 1: a guy that's not as familiar with you or you

1701
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:57,559
Speaker 1: with him in terms of the execution, and it may

1702
01:19:58,080 --> 01:20:00,599
Speaker 1: it may suffer, it may be better, depending on the situation.

1703
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:02,920
Speaker 1: How do you approach it and still try to be

1704
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:05,120
Speaker 1: the same guy and be as effective. Yeah, I mean

1705
01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:08,080
Speaker 1: it's a challenge, you know, going with new guys certainly,

1706
01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:10,080
Speaker 1: but you know, we work on it. Um. You know,

1707
01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:11,840
Speaker 1: I got a lot of reps to those guys last

1708
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:13,800
Speaker 1: week and then and we talked a lot the night

1709
01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:16,240
Speaker 1: before the game and kind of what you know, we're

1710
01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:18,519
Speaker 1: looking for, and it's it's a continued process. You know,

1711
01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:21,640
Speaker 1: nobody's perfect. I'm not perfect out there and um, you

1712
01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:23,400
Speaker 1: know everybody out in that huddle, though, is trying to

1713
01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:25,240
Speaker 1: do their best. And you know when you're when you're

1714
01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:27,000
Speaker 1: in that huddle, no matter who it's with, you know

1715
01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:29,280
Speaker 1: you're getting to play a game that you love. And um,

1716
01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:31,400
Speaker 1: every time you're going out there trying to win, trying

1717
01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:33,599
Speaker 1: to score, and UM, you know it doesn't matter who

1718
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:35,400
Speaker 1: you're with. How much are you looking forward to this

1719
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:37,639
Speaker 1: resolution of you know who the starting quarter that will

1720
01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:40,559
Speaker 1: ultimately be a new job. Um, yeah, it would be good.

1721
01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:42,680
Speaker 1: I mean it's one day at a time mentality of

1722
01:20:43,080 --> 01:20:46,400
Speaker 1: just trying to get better myself every day no matter what. Um,

1723
01:20:46,680 --> 01:20:49,080
Speaker 1: keeping a narrow vision kind of blinders on the eyes

1724
01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:51,560
Speaker 1: and UM, just focus on myself and staying in my

1725
01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:53,400
Speaker 1: lane and trying to do what I can. What does

1726
01:20:53,439 --> 01:20:57,080
Speaker 1: it mean from your standpoint to see Josh get the

1727
01:20:57,160 --> 01:21:00,559
Speaker 1: start in this third preseason game traditionally the the tune up,

1728
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:02,840
Speaker 1: so called tune up for the regular season. Yeah, it

1729
01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:05,080
Speaker 1: means I have to be ready, you know. Um, you

1730
01:21:05,160 --> 01:21:07,559
Speaker 1: know in any time that you know you're not the starter,

1731
01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:10,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna snap away. UM. So I'm gonna go out

1732
01:21:10,200 --> 01:21:12,040
Speaker 1: there and you know it's a game last last year.

1733
01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:13,360
Speaker 1: You know, at this time, I was in the same

1734
01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:16,760
Speaker 1: position and um, you know, unfortunately I played. You know,

1735
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:19,200
Speaker 1: I had a situation where I played more than expected.

1736
01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:21,960
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna be ready, um, no matter what, and

1737
01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:23,639
Speaker 1: I try to go out there next you Moost, people

1738
01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:25,799
Speaker 1: would say that you've gone enough to be the starting

1739
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:29,800
Speaker 1: quarterback after the first two preseas preseason games. How do

1740
01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:32,439
Speaker 1: you feel like you've played in those two games? Um,

1741
01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:34,599
Speaker 1: there's been good things, but there's there's been some things

1742
01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:36,479
Speaker 1: I can improve on for sure. Um. And that's what

1743
01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:38,799
Speaker 1: I take every day. As you know, I'm not perfect

1744
01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:42,360
Speaker 1: and i haven't been um yet, so I'm always trying

1745
01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:45,320
Speaker 1: to strive for that, strive for excellence and um again,

1746
01:21:45,439 --> 01:21:47,200
Speaker 1: just one day at a time and try to focus

1747
01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:52,120
Speaker 1: on myself. Talk about being through something similar as a

1748
01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:56,280
Speaker 1: rookie last year or what have you seen from your

1749
01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:59,200
Speaker 1: perspective of of how Josh is dealt with this course

1750
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:01,559
Speaker 1: being a rookie, through training camp and all those things

1751
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:04,000
Speaker 1: that he's at. Yeah, I thought he's done great. You know,

1752
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:06,439
Speaker 1: he's a he's a smart kid. Uh, you know both

1753
01:22:06,800 --> 01:22:10,080
Speaker 1: you know, intelligence wise and emotionally. You know, he's a

1754
01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:12,120
Speaker 1: guy that you know, kind of gets everybody around him,

1755
01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:13,519
Speaker 1: and I think he's fun to be around as well.

1756
01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:16,400
Speaker 1: UM does a good job bringing everybody together. And UM,

1757
01:22:16,479 --> 01:22:18,439
Speaker 1: I think he's done a great job of picking up

1758
01:22:18,479 --> 01:22:20,800
Speaker 1: this offense. I mean, you know, all of us have

1759
01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:23,000
Speaker 1: been in there grinding, but I've been impressed with him

1760
01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:26,120
Speaker 1: so far, and I can tell that he's working hard

1761
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:27,559
Speaker 1: at it, and I'm just going to continue to keep

1762
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:29,679
Speaker 1: doing that in sties where do you think would happen

1763
01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 1: in LA last year. It's kind of benefited you because

1764
01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:34,960
Speaker 1: you've been able to put it behind you. So much.

1765
01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:37,040
Speaker 1: Of the coaches I've said they've been impressed with how

1766
01:22:37,080 --> 01:22:38,840
Speaker 1: you've kind of stayed focused and things like that, So

1767
01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:41,280
Speaker 1: kind of you've benefited, I guess from that experience and

1768
01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:43,479
Speaker 1: just sibly how you've gone about it has actually helped

1769
01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:45,320
Speaker 1: you in this battle for sure. You know, I think

1770
01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:48,320
Speaker 1: I've grown so much since that, you know, after that game.

1771
01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:51,439
Speaker 1: This offseason, UM, just so much of of really learning

1772
01:22:51,479 --> 01:22:55,439
Speaker 1: from those lessons and then implementing him to where you know,

1773
01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:58,400
Speaker 1: I can have a good career still, and you know

1774
01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:01,400
Speaker 1: that's the goal, and that's my expect to just take

1775
01:23:01,400 --> 01:23:03,920
Speaker 1: it one day at a time and deal with the lows,

1776
01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:05,720
Speaker 1: deal with the high is the same, and I just

1777
01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:07,160
Speaker 1: go out there every day and try to be better.

1778
01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:10,960
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman talking to the media today after practice. We're

1779
01:23:10,960 --> 01:23:12,960
Speaker 1: gonna hear from Josh Allen coming up in the next hour.

1780
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:15,840
Speaker 1: He's talking as well. I had a flashback just at

1781
01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 1: the end there when he was asked about reacting to

1782
01:23:18,520 --> 01:23:21,400
Speaker 1: his rough game against the Chargers last November, and I

1783
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:24,360
Speaker 1: flashback to being in that locker room that day and

1784
01:23:24,560 --> 01:23:26,880
Speaker 1: how impressed I was with the way Nathan Peterman handled

1785
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:29,799
Speaker 1: at a rookie first NFL start, has had a horrible

1786
01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:32,759
Speaker 1: first half, stood up there, answered all the questions, handled

1787
01:23:32,760 --> 01:23:36,800
Speaker 1: it well, clearly disappointed, bitterly discappointed, and the way it went.

1788
01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:40,560
Speaker 1: But there's there's so much like about Nathan Peterman. And

1789
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:43,960
Speaker 1: just because you know, I, in fact get enamored with

1790
01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:47,719
Speaker 1: the arm strength and this spectacular potential of Josh Allen.

1791
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:51,000
Speaker 1: Believe me, I appreciate Nathan Peterman. I know he can

1792
01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:52,720
Speaker 1: play in this league. I think he could be a

1793
01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:55,559
Speaker 1: good CAPE maybe more than capable backup in this league

1794
01:23:55,800 --> 01:23:58,840
Speaker 1: when he finally, you know, gets fully developed. But the

1795
01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:00,360
Speaker 1: fact that he's such a good team he made and

1796
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:02,439
Speaker 1: such a good person that goes along way with me,

1797
01:24:02,520 --> 01:24:04,880
Speaker 1: and I saw it. I just was reminded that hearing

1798
01:24:04,960 --> 01:24:06,439
Speaker 1: him talking now and thinking back to the way he

1799
01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:08,920
Speaker 1: reacted to that terrible game in LA. Yeah, it's interesting

1800
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:11,519
Speaker 1: too because we just got a tweet from Robert Mortier Jr.

1801
01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:14,000
Speaker 1: Here's one to have fun with. Could we be grooming

1802
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:18,640
Speaker 1: the next Kelly Reich? With Alan Peterson Peterman, we went

1803
01:24:18,720 --> 01:24:20,960
Speaker 1: from number No quarterback for so many years to actually

1804
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:22,920
Speaker 1: having three guys that could all start into me. Any

1805
01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:24,920
Speaker 1: of them could win games for us. Excited to finally

1806
01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:27,160
Speaker 1: be in this position. It's a good interesting question because

1807
01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:29,880
Speaker 1: I think I do feel like the Bills could are

1808
01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:35,000
Speaker 1: going to win their share games with mccaron, Alan or Peterman,

1809
01:24:35,240 --> 01:24:37,960
Speaker 1: and the question becomes who starts the season. Whichever one

1810
01:24:38,040 --> 01:24:40,400
Speaker 1: gives them the best chance to win, obviously is the

1811
01:24:40,439 --> 01:24:43,000
Speaker 1: one we're gonna take. But I really feel confident that

1812
01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:45,519
Speaker 1: they're not going to put a guy out there who's

1813
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:48,200
Speaker 1: gonna have a half like Nathan Peterman did last year

1814
01:24:48,240 --> 01:24:50,760
Speaker 1: in San Diego. I mean, you hear that interview that

1815
01:24:50,800 --> 01:24:53,320
Speaker 1: we just heard for the last five or six minutes

1816
01:24:54,160 --> 01:24:58,240
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman and how articulate and intelligent and well groomed

1817
01:24:58,320 --> 01:25:02,800
Speaker 1: and down to earth and ready he is to get better.

1818
01:25:03,800 --> 01:25:05,560
Speaker 1: Speaks a lot for that position. And we're having a

1819
01:25:05,640 --> 01:25:09,160
Speaker 1: debate because guys like Peterman or in the conversation and

1820
01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:12,160
Speaker 1: some good reason. Yeah, the tweet sheet on our question,

1821
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:14,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, does he start this week because it's his

1822
01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:17,880
Speaker 1: turn in the rotation? Or does he start because he

1823
01:25:17,920 --> 01:25:21,719
Speaker 1: has played well on Twitter Shawnee tweets in McDermott wisely

1824
01:25:21,840 --> 01:25:24,439
Speaker 1: placed them in this position. He can go either way.

1825
01:25:24,479 --> 01:25:28,160
Speaker 1: After this game bad, it was Josh's turn. Good, We've

1826
01:25:28,160 --> 01:25:30,640
Speaker 1: seen enough to let him rip. McDermott really is an

1827
01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:34,680
Speaker 1: next Belichick. But human, I love that one, and there

1828
01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:36,080
Speaker 1: might be a little bit of the truth to that,

1829
01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:38,479
Speaker 1: you know. I hate to think that it might not

1830
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:40,559
Speaker 1: go that well for Josh Allen. I think it will

1831
01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:44,000
Speaker 1: go well this Sunday, But he's right. I don't know that.

1832
01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:46,559
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say this though about McDermot, Sean. I love

1833
01:25:46,600 --> 01:25:49,879
Speaker 1: your tweet and I love you Colin McDermott like Belichick

1834
01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:53,160
Speaker 1: for human, but I don't know that Sean, when it

1835
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:55,720
Speaker 1: comes to perception and media, I don't think he's that

1836
01:25:55,840 --> 01:25:58,799
Speaker 1: calculating that manipulative. I don't think he's doing this because

1837
01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:00,960
Speaker 1: he wants to have an answer for the media if

1838
01:26:00,960 --> 01:26:02,600
Speaker 1: things don't go well. I really don't think that's what

1839
01:26:02,720 --> 01:26:05,040
Speaker 1: motivate Sean McDermott. I mean, let's face it, he took

1840
01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:07,680
Speaker 1: the dice last November, rolled the dice. He rolled the

1841
01:26:07,760 --> 01:26:11,080
Speaker 1: dice and threw Peterman in that game at LA when

1842
01:26:11,080 --> 01:26:12,920
Speaker 1: the Bills were five and four and trying to snap

1843
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:15,080
Speaker 1: out of a two game losing streak. I don't think

1844
01:26:15,120 --> 01:26:17,360
Speaker 1: he worries too much about what the perception might be

1845
01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:20,080
Speaker 1: and what the media might say. So to think to

1846
01:26:20,240 --> 01:26:22,040
Speaker 1: put him in this position, to think he did it

1847
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:24,720
Speaker 1: because he you know, he has an answer either way,

1848
01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:26,960
Speaker 1: I don't think that's not the Sean McDermott. I don't. Yeah,

1849
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:31,439
Speaker 1: he's not. He's not covering himself, but by making sure

1850
01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 1: he has an excuse if the team goes out and

1851
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:35,320
Speaker 1: plays poorly, or if his quarterback plays poorly, he wants

1852
01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:37,000
Speaker 1: to give his team the best chance to win Right now,

1853
01:26:37,040 --> 01:26:39,160
Speaker 1: he's trying to find out who that is. Yeah, and

1854
01:26:40,280 --> 01:26:43,040
Speaker 1: once again Dan carry on the tweet sheet. Love you Steve,

1855
01:26:43,120 --> 01:26:45,360
Speaker 1: love you man, But I respect your experience. But I

1856
01:26:45,439 --> 01:26:48,120
Speaker 1: have to disagree with you. Peterman, yes, has gone through

1857
01:26:48,160 --> 01:26:51,519
Speaker 1: a full season, but his performance in two starts has

1858
01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:53,720
Speaker 1: nothing to write home about. He's not a starter in

1859
01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:58,240
Speaker 1: this league. Alan is like Kelly was, so he thinking

1860
01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:00,519
Speaker 1: Josh Allen should be the start of because that's who

1861
01:27:00,560 --> 01:27:02,160
Speaker 1: he is. He's a starter in this league and he's

1862
01:27:02,160 --> 01:27:05,080
Speaker 1: gonna be Peterman is not. He might have a point.

1863
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:07,599
Speaker 1: I mean, Nathan Peterman may not be a guy who's

1864
01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:10,040
Speaker 1: going to be a franchise guy. There are a lot

1865
01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:13,240
Speaker 1: of people who think that's about Kirk Cousins. He's kind

1866
01:27:13,240 --> 01:27:16,800
Speaker 1: of guy that was a fourth round pick behind RG

1867
01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:18,240
Speaker 1: three and then all of a sudden he was the

1868
01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:20,599
Speaker 1: last guy standing all and he kind of played well

1869
01:27:20,760 --> 01:27:23,040
Speaker 1: enough to get that franchise to a place where they

1870
01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:26,600
Speaker 1: were competitive. Never really knocked it dead statistically, but he

1871
01:27:26,720 --> 01:27:28,960
Speaker 1: was their starters. It was his team, and of course

1872
01:27:29,040 --> 01:27:32,439
Speaker 1: now he's not there anymore. But maybe that's the kind

1873
01:27:32,479 --> 01:27:34,920
Speaker 1: of guy named Peterman is a guy who could be

1874
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:37,160
Speaker 1: a guy who would start games for you and win games,

1875
01:27:37,760 --> 01:27:40,519
Speaker 1: but not good enough to carry a franchise. Well, Josh,

1876
01:27:40,600 --> 01:27:43,439
Speaker 1: and you know that's you look back at Jim Kelly

1877
01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:48,679
Speaker 1: and Frank Reich there's a lot to like about Nathan

1878
01:27:48,760 --> 01:27:54,360
Speaker 1: Peterman in the role of Frank Reich. Smart, articulate, helpful,

1879
01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:58,559
Speaker 1: gets all of it, has a good rapport with Josh Allen,

1880
01:27:58,800 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 1: has just a little bit more experience. Not a bunch,

1881
01:28:01,439 --> 01:28:03,519
Speaker 1: but I'm sure it's a guy that Allen's going to

1882
01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:05,240
Speaker 1: learn to come to learn and trust if they are

1883
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:08,160
Speaker 1: indeed in that position. I mean, he's he's uh, it's

1884
01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:10,880
Speaker 1: a great teammate and that's what Frank Reich is supposed

1885
01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:13,320
Speaker 1: to be like, and then he was. So it's an

1886
01:28:13,400 --> 01:28:18,120
Speaker 1: interesting take, um, and you think I haven't really I

1887
01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:20,160
Speaker 1: never put an ounce of thought into this. It just

1888
01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:23,800
Speaker 1: occurred to me, how long are all three of these

1889
01:28:23,880 --> 01:28:26,839
Speaker 1: quarterbacks gonna be Buffalo A couple of them maybe Buffalo

1890
01:28:26,920 --> 01:28:32,360
Speaker 1: Bills for a decade. Nate Peterman and AJ mccaron, Josh Allen,

1891
01:28:32,439 --> 01:28:34,800
Speaker 1: those guys may be around this franchise for a long

1892
01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 1: long time together, and it's gonna be interesting to see

1893
01:28:36,920 --> 01:28:39,080
Speaker 1: that take shape. You're so far down the road. I know,

1894
01:28:39,240 --> 01:28:42,800
Speaker 1: I never put it on. I didn't put an ounces.

1895
01:28:42,840 --> 01:28:46,160
Speaker 1: You're thinking about the preseason. I think about these guys,

1896
01:28:46,240 --> 01:28:50,160
Speaker 1: I mean, because they're quality guys. Nathan Peterman survived a

1897
01:28:50,520 --> 01:28:53,080
Speaker 1: really rough patch to the start of his career and

1898
01:28:53,280 --> 01:28:55,360
Speaker 1: has really redeemed himself in the lives of the coaching

1899
01:28:55,439 --> 01:28:59,599
Speaker 1: staff and his teammates them. How did you know way

1900
01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:01,680
Speaker 1: down the road? It is right down the road. But

1901
01:29:01,840 --> 01:29:05,120
Speaker 1: you know, if it happens the way it had happened

1902
01:29:05,160 --> 01:29:07,200
Speaker 1: before with this franchise, those two guys are you know,

1903
01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:08,720
Speaker 1: we're all going to get to know them pretty well.

1904
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:11,360
Speaker 1: Here's Rich on the line. Rich, you go ahead, Welcome

1905
01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:14,439
Speaker 1: to the show, gentlemen, Good afternoon. Um. I have two

1906
01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:18,760
Speaker 1: questions for you guys. With the lack of practice and

1907
01:29:19,040 --> 01:29:23,280
Speaker 1: preseason games that Trent Murphy has played, do you think

1908
01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:26,759
Speaker 1: he is a potential candidate for being cut or placed

1909
01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:29,720
Speaker 1: an IR so we can protect them? And then my

1910
01:29:29,880 --> 01:29:34,160
Speaker 1: second question just pertains to Josh Allen with the Jimmy

1911
01:29:34,360 --> 01:29:39,360
Speaker 1: Smith's suspension. Again, he was not charged with any crimes.

1912
01:29:39,439 --> 01:29:42,479
Speaker 1: He's suspended for four games. If the same thing happens

1913
01:29:42,520 --> 01:29:48,519
Speaker 1: with McCoy, do you start Josh Allen week one or

1914
01:29:48,640 --> 01:29:51,360
Speaker 1: do you go with Peterman. Yes, he only has two

1915
01:29:51,479 --> 01:29:55,840
Speaker 1: games experience, but you're losing your last offensive player for

1916
01:29:56,680 --> 01:29:59,320
Speaker 1: no matter how many games the NFL suspends them. It's

1917
01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:03,320
Speaker 1: just medical question. But I'm want to hear your points, gentlemen. Okay,

1918
01:30:03,320 --> 01:30:05,479
Speaker 1: I don't know about Trent Murphy. Difficult to cut Trent

1919
01:30:05,600 --> 01:30:09,000
Speaker 1: Murphy if that's what you're thinking, because of the cat right,

1920
01:30:09,040 --> 01:30:10,880
Speaker 1: because of the money, because of the salary that they

1921
01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:12,960
Speaker 1: committed to him, I think that would be that'd be

1922
01:30:13,080 --> 01:30:16,680
Speaker 1: tough to see. I hope he's ready to play. I'm

1923
01:30:16,720 --> 01:30:19,760
Speaker 1: a little I don't understand that your point about so,

1924
01:30:19,920 --> 01:30:22,599
Speaker 1: you're saying, if so, Jimmy Smith is out and maybe

1925
01:30:22,680 --> 01:30:25,080
Speaker 1: Leshaun McCoy could be out, and that means what you

1926
01:30:25,120 --> 01:30:28,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't start. That means it affects your quarterback decision because

1927
01:30:28,439 --> 01:30:31,360
Speaker 1: Shady's not in the game. That I don't know. That's

1928
01:30:31,360 --> 01:30:33,360
Speaker 1: a pretty big hypothetical. I have a hard time getting

1929
01:30:33,400 --> 01:30:35,439
Speaker 1: my mind around. And I don't think the team or

1930
01:30:35,479 --> 01:30:39,000
Speaker 1: anybody else is anticipating that happening. They've got enough reasons

1931
01:30:39,080 --> 01:30:42,439
Speaker 1: to go either way in the quarterback conversation without Leshn

1932
01:30:42,560 --> 01:30:45,080
Speaker 1: McCoy having that much of an effect on it. They're

1933
01:30:45,080 --> 01:30:50,720
Speaker 1: gonna give. You could make a case for both quarterbacks

1934
01:30:50,840 --> 01:30:53,559
Speaker 1: being more likely or less likely to play if Leshaun

1935
01:30:53,680 --> 01:30:58,439
Speaker 1: McCoy is in or out. Of the game. But yeah,

1936
01:30:58,720 --> 01:31:03,920
Speaker 1: that's that's a hypothetical. That's that's a little bit out

1937
01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:06,080
Speaker 1: of the realm of possibility to me. Wils have said

1938
01:31:06,120 --> 01:31:08,479
Speaker 1: several times that they do not anticipate there will be

1939
01:31:08,600 --> 01:31:12,320
Speaker 1: any league action on the Leshaun McCoy. I think there

1940
01:31:12,360 --> 01:31:15,080
Speaker 1: hasn't been a whisper on that film. Nothing. And I

1941
01:31:15,160 --> 01:31:17,880
Speaker 1: think Jimmy Smith was it was regarded that that was

1942
01:31:18,640 --> 01:31:20,560
Speaker 1: a little bit I don't know more concrete evidence. I

1943
01:31:20,600 --> 01:31:23,000
Speaker 1: don't know what the comparison is. Well, it was it

1944
01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:27,519
Speaker 1: was different. Uh yeah, because he was named in in

1945
01:31:27,640 --> 01:31:32,720
Speaker 1: a civil suit or accused by a girlfriend. So and

1946
01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:35,479
Speaker 1: in fact, the club had to address it before this

1947
01:31:35,600 --> 01:31:37,679
Speaker 1: ever came up. And I was I read an article

1948
01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:41,360
Speaker 1: today about it that players, wives on the on the

1949
01:31:41,720 --> 01:31:44,679
Speaker 1: in the Organization of Baltimore, as well as coaches, wives

1950
01:31:44,720 --> 01:31:48,320
Speaker 1: and women who worked for the organization were asked to

1951
01:31:48,479 --> 01:31:52,240
Speaker 1: and uh had a discussion about whether that he would

1952
01:31:52,240 --> 01:31:54,559

1998
01:34:21,800 --> 01:34:25,320
Speaker 1: He will then miss the Bills opener against the Baltimore Ravens.

1999
01:34:25,560 --> 01:34:28,240

Speaker 1: of his first child, who accused him of domestic violence.

2001

Speaker 1: And that is the update from one Bill's drive to

2002
01:34:33,760 --> 01:34:37,439
Speaker 1: Bisons tonight complete a game that didn't get finished last night,

2006
01:34:46,240 --> 01:34:49,559
Speaker 1: Murphy's team Tasker. Our discussion today, as it usually does,

2007
01:34:50,120 --> 01:34:53,160
Speaker 1: centers on quarterbacks, and we talked with Ian Rappaport of

2008
01:34:53,280 --> 01:34:55,320
Speaker 1: NFL Network about it. Talked to a lot of people

2009
01:34:55,360 --> 01:34:56,600
Speaker 1: about it. Want to hear from you about it. What

2010
01:34:56,680 --> 01:35:00,320
Speaker 1: do you think? Josh Allen starts this Sunday because it's

2011
01:35:00,320 --> 01:35:04,760
Speaker 1: his turn, or because he's playing well. I think it's

2012
01:35:04,840 --> 01:35:07,200
Speaker 1: mostly the latter. You think it's mostly the former. I

2013
01:35:07,280 --> 01:35:08,920
Speaker 1: think it's mostly the former. Is part of the plan

2014
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:11,320
Speaker 1: to give him a start, particularly a start that mimicked

2015
01:35:11,479 --> 01:35:15,040
Speaker 1: a game type situation, a regular week a Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,

2016
01:35:15,120 --> 01:35:18,720
Speaker 1: so that, um, when it does come, as it looks

2017
01:35:18,760 --> 01:35:21,280
Speaker 1: like it might, maybe during the regular season, at some

2018
01:35:21,439 --> 01:35:23,960
Speaker 1: point he has something to draw on. I don't think

2019
01:35:23,960 --> 01:35:27,400
Speaker 1: it's going to happen week one. All. It sounds like

2020
01:35:27,560 --> 01:35:32,160
Speaker 1: it possibly could. Um, I doubt it will. But anyway,

2021
01:35:32,320 --> 01:35:36,000
Speaker 1: each way, either way, well, I think it might too,

2022
01:35:36,080 --> 01:35:37,720
Speaker 1: but I don't think it will. Well, let's I think

2023
01:35:37,720 --> 01:35:41,320
Speaker 1: it's a possibility tomorrow. Tomorrow's question. We'll get clear, clear

2024
01:35:41,880 --> 01:35:45,200
Speaker 1: evidence that I want to get into your wallet. Yeah,

2025
01:35:46,600 --> 01:35:49,960
Speaker 1: you and everybody else. Isn't that I won money from

2026
01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:52,680
Speaker 1: me already out of Josh ellen bet right the draft? Yes,

2027
01:35:52,800 --> 01:35:55,720
Speaker 1: you did, YEA. Have I seen that money yet? It's

2028
01:35:55,760 --> 01:35:58,519
Speaker 1: in an envelope in my desk. I don't think where

2029
01:35:58,560 --> 01:36:00,760
Speaker 1: it's in the pool. If it's a pool of No,

2030
01:36:00,960 --> 01:36:02,680
Speaker 1: I did give you that money. I handed it right over.

2031
01:36:02,720 --> 01:36:05,080
Speaker 1: I had a taped to the white board Oh that's right. Yeah, well,

2032
01:36:05,120 --> 01:36:06,800
Speaker 1: maybe maybe you can get your money back. This was

2033
01:36:06,880 --> 01:36:10,160
Speaker 1: post This was after sports betting was legalized. Maybe you

2034
01:36:10,160 --> 01:36:12,360
Speaker 1: can win your money back cash. Allen met with media

2035
01:36:12,439 --> 01:36:14,960
Speaker 1: members today here at One Bill's Drive. It happened moments ago.

2036
01:36:15,240 --> 01:36:16,880
Speaker 1: Let's hear what he had to say about being named

2037
01:36:16,920 --> 01:36:19,880
Speaker 1: the starter for this Sunday against the Bengals. You had

2038
01:36:19,880 --> 01:36:22,519
Speaker 1: a preseason game to go out there and perform at

2039
01:36:22,520 --> 01:36:25,320
Speaker 1: the ones, you know, it's It's an exciting time for me.

2040
01:36:26,439 --> 01:36:28,240
Speaker 1: At the same time, I'm just looking at these reps,

2041
01:36:28,640 --> 01:36:29,960
Speaker 1: trying to get better every day, trying to go out

2042
01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:32,280
Speaker 1: in the field next keete what coach calls What is

2043
01:36:32,320 --> 01:36:34,800
Speaker 1: it like to be I mean, this is something you've

2044
01:36:34,840 --> 01:36:37,200
Speaker 1: dreamed about for quite some time. What is it like

2045
01:36:37,320 --> 01:36:40,640
Speaker 1: to be on the cusp perhaps of something you've been

2046
01:36:40,720 --> 01:36:43,479
Speaker 1: dreaming about since, you know, high school or longer. I mean,

2047
01:36:43,520 --> 01:36:47,320
Speaker 1: it's crazy to think about, definitely. But I'm not going

2048
01:36:47,360 --> 01:36:49,759
Speaker 1: out there to trying to prove why I'm the starter

2049
01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:52,280
Speaker 1: or whatever the case may be. I'm going out there

2050
01:36:52,280 --> 01:36:55,320
Speaker 1: to play football and move the chains, put points on

2051
01:36:55,360 --> 01:36:57,439
Speaker 1: the board, and help its offense in whatever way I can.

2052
01:36:57,640 --> 01:37:00,519
Speaker 1: You know, I'm can trust what coach call gonna trust

2053
01:37:00,520 --> 01:37:02,360
Speaker 1: teamates around me, and I just try to develop some

2054
01:37:02,400 --> 01:37:05,680
Speaker 1: more cammaraderie. What is that like, I mean, you're not

2055
01:37:06,160 --> 01:37:08,360
Speaker 1: you just said I'm not trying to prove myself as

2056
01:37:08,439 --> 01:37:11,640
Speaker 1: the starter, but yet that is really what this competition

2057
01:37:11,720 --> 01:37:13,800
Speaker 1: has been about. So your mindset seems to be a

2058
01:37:13,840 --> 01:37:16,040
Speaker 1: little bit different in that sense. Yeah, I mean, like

2059
01:37:16,160 --> 01:37:18,200
Speaker 1: I said, whether I'm with the one series or threes,

2060
01:37:18,720 --> 01:37:20,200
Speaker 1: I want to go out there and consistently make the

2061
01:37:20,280 --> 01:37:22,160
Speaker 1: right play and make the right decision, make the best

2062
01:37:22,200 --> 01:37:24,639
Speaker 1: throw I can make. Ultimately give our guys a chance

2063
01:37:24,680 --> 01:37:26,559
Speaker 1: on the football so they can make some plays. Um.

2064
01:37:27,920 --> 01:37:30,680
Speaker 1: You know, this is an opportunity for me, and you

2065
01:37:30,760 --> 01:37:32,479
Speaker 1: know I'm I can take it lightly, you know, but

2066
01:37:32,880 --> 01:37:35,920
Speaker 1: at the same time, I'm here for whatever the team needs, um,

2067
01:37:36,040 --> 01:37:37,760
Speaker 1: And I'm just gonna try to do my job. To

2068
01:37:37,800 --> 01:37:41,760
Speaker 1: emphasize the importance of replicating a game week this week,

2069
01:37:41,880 --> 01:37:44,760
Speaker 1: you know, regular season mode so to speak. What are

2070
01:37:44,840 --> 01:37:49,000
Speaker 1: you trying to absorb, maybe specifically to get a better

2071
01:37:49,120 --> 01:37:52,200
Speaker 1: feel for how weeks one through seventeen to the regular

2072
01:37:52,240 --> 01:37:54,280
Speaker 1: season are gonna operated. Yeah, just the routine that some

2073
01:37:54,360 --> 01:37:57,640
Speaker 1: guys go through, routine that you know, Coach Dabele is

2074
01:37:58,000 --> 01:38:00,560
Speaker 1: you know, not really set out, but he's kind of

2075
01:38:00,560 --> 01:38:02,320
Speaker 1: shown us a path and you know, we can choose

2076
01:38:02,320 --> 01:38:04,760
Speaker 1: whether to take it or not. You know, a lot

2077
01:38:04,760 --> 01:38:06,160
Speaker 1: of the guys do it differently in the league on

2078
01:38:06,439 --> 01:38:09,280
Speaker 1: how they prepare, and at this point, I'm just trying

2079
01:38:09,280 --> 01:38:11,559
Speaker 1: to learn from AJ and Nayton and Dable and coach

2080
01:38:11,640 --> 01:38:14,200
Speaker 1: McDermott and everybody around me. You know, the Vets that

2081
01:38:14,280 --> 01:38:16,679
Speaker 1: have been here, what they do on off days on Tuesday,

2082
01:38:16,760 --> 01:38:19,200
Speaker 1: what they do you know, Monday through Friday, and what

2083
01:38:19,280 --> 01:38:21,920
Speaker 1: happens on Saturday preparing up to game on Sunday. So

2084
01:38:22,439 --> 01:38:24,160
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just taking in as much information as

2085
01:38:24,200 --> 01:38:26,000
Speaker 1: I can and we're gonna go from there. Sure, the

2086
01:38:26,120 --> 01:38:28,280
Speaker 1: first start is exciting no matter what. But the fact

2087
01:38:28,360 --> 01:38:30,439
Speaker 1: that it's going to be here in front of the

2088
01:38:30,520 --> 01:38:33,320
Speaker 1: home fans, what does that mean to you? Um, it

2089
01:38:33,360 --> 01:38:35,880
Speaker 1: should be a good environment. You know, we're not gonna

2090
01:38:35,880 --> 01:38:38,040
Speaker 1: have to go on silent cadence. Hopefully our crowd is

2091
01:38:38,439 --> 01:38:40,800
Speaker 1: quiet when we're on the field, and they're loud on

2092
01:38:40,880 --> 01:38:42,560
Speaker 1: third down when our defense is on the field. So,

2093
01:38:43,120 --> 01:38:44,600
Speaker 1: you know, I'm looking forward to it. It's gonna be

2094
01:38:44,640 --> 01:38:47,320
Speaker 1: a fun atmosphere, and I'm glad I get to do

2095
01:38:47,400 --> 01:38:50,720
Speaker 1: it here and watch the film from the Cleveland game.

2096
01:38:51,040 --> 01:38:53,280
Speaker 1: What was your big takeaway from maybe how you perform

2097
01:38:53,400 --> 01:38:56,000
Speaker 1: both the good and the bad. You know, there's some

2098
01:38:56,080 --> 01:38:59,080
Speaker 1: things I missed, some things that I've already learned from,

2099
01:38:59,240 --> 01:39:01,600
Speaker 1: things will continue learn from. But you know, I did

2100
01:39:01,640 --> 01:39:04,040
Speaker 1: a good job of taking what they the defense gave

2101
01:39:04,120 --> 01:39:05,640
Speaker 1: me and allowing our our guys to go make a

2102
01:39:05,680 --> 01:39:07,800
Speaker 1: play on the ball. Um And ultimately that's the job

2103
01:39:07,840 --> 01:39:09,720
Speaker 1: of the quarterback. We're moving the sticks. We scored on

2104
01:39:09,880 --> 01:39:13,080
Speaker 1: a few different drives there, and um, you know, I

2105
01:39:13,240 --> 01:39:15,639
Speaker 1: was happy with the performance, But you know, I'm not content,

2106
01:39:16,160 --> 01:39:18,280
Speaker 1: just trying to learn from every little mistake on the

2107
01:39:18,320 --> 01:39:20,680
Speaker 1: field and even learn from every success. To Josh, how

2108
01:39:20,680 --> 01:39:23,000
Speaker 1: does your development and now getting the start in the

2109
01:39:23,040 --> 01:39:25,120
Speaker 1: third preseason game, how does that compare to what your

2110
01:39:25,200 --> 01:39:28,519
Speaker 1: expectations were when you were drafted by this team. Um,

2111
01:39:29,640 --> 01:39:31,559
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not really thinking of it any differently.

2112
01:39:31,640 --> 01:39:32,840
Speaker 1: You know, it's an opportunity to go out there and

2113
01:39:32,920 --> 01:39:36,400
Speaker 1: play and work hard, you know, go out there and

2114
01:39:36,880 --> 01:39:38,720
Speaker 1: show my teammates how how much I want to win,

2115
01:39:38,760 --> 01:39:41,519
Speaker 1: how hard I'm gonna work um. Ultimately when we get

2116
01:39:41,560 --> 01:39:44,080
Speaker 1: on the field and how well I can execute the

2117
01:39:44,120 --> 01:39:46,360
Speaker 1: plays that Coach Gable calls, and how much I trust

2118
01:39:46,400 --> 01:39:48,680
Speaker 1: these guys on the field with me. There have been

2119
01:39:48,800 --> 01:39:52,519
Speaker 1: some outside observers and they national reporters that have been

2120
01:39:52,600 --> 01:39:56,160
Speaker 1: giving some credit to your Coachase for helping you with

2121
01:39:56,400 --> 01:39:59,040
Speaker 1: your mechanics. I don't think that's right or wrong, but

2122
01:39:59,640 --> 01:40:01,920
Speaker 1: maybe just tell me if that is the case where

2123
01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:05,680
Speaker 1: you feel they've helped you with your mechanics most if

2124
01:40:05,720 --> 01:40:07,960
Speaker 1: you're one area or two where you think you're a

2125
01:40:08,040 --> 01:40:09,679
Speaker 1: lot said, I know you're worked a lot of Jordan

2126
01:40:10,040 --> 01:40:12,519
Speaker 1: leading up to the draft, but any area in particularly,

2127
01:40:12,600 --> 01:40:15,240
Speaker 1: I mean it's cleaner. It's a team effort, it really is.

2128
01:40:15,320 --> 01:40:17,080
Speaker 1: You know. It's a constant struggle day in and day out,

2129
01:40:17,320 --> 01:40:20,040
Speaker 1: just trying not to convert back to old ways. Um.

2130
01:40:20,400 --> 01:40:22,559
Speaker 1: But every day before practice I go out with Shay

2131
01:40:22,680 --> 01:40:25,000
Speaker 1: and Coach Dable and we work on some base drill

2132
01:40:25,080 --> 01:40:28,479
Speaker 1: and just try to get his knee throws as I can.

2133
01:40:28,800 --> 01:40:30,640
Speaker 1: You know, you know, the more repetitions that I get to,

2134
01:40:30,840 --> 01:40:33,840
Speaker 1: I feel the better the ball comes out the hand.

2135
01:40:33,960 --> 01:40:36,160
Speaker 1: You know, when when things are flowing smoothly and you

2136
01:40:36,200 --> 01:40:38,920
Speaker 1: feel confident in your throw. That's when you know, in

2137
01:40:39,080 --> 01:40:41,120
Speaker 1: my opinion, you become a more accurate Pastor do you

2138
01:40:41,160 --> 01:40:43,680
Speaker 1: feel you're at a point where those are things when

2139
01:40:43,760 --> 01:40:46,320
Speaker 1: you're playing you don't think about, or is it now?

2140
01:40:46,360 --> 01:40:48,360
Speaker 1: It's something? I mean, I think every quarterback comes out

2141
01:40:48,439 --> 01:40:51,080
Speaker 1: me trying to think about something, you know, whether it's

2142
01:40:51,120 --> 01:40:53,400
Speaker 1: trying to keep your head still, making sure you're lower

2143
01:40:53,439 --> 01:40:55,920
Speaker 1: half connected with your upper half, whether your base, your feet,

2144
01:40:56,000 --> 01:40:59,920
Speaker 1: your front step. You know, every quarterback goes through different things.

2145
01:41:01,200 --> 01:41:03,120
Speaker 1: And once I fix one thing, who knows another thing

2146
01:41:03,200 --> 01:41:05,360
Speaker 1: might break out and we'll try to fix that. So, um,

2147
01:41:05,520 --> 01:41:06,960
Speaker 1: we're just gonna continue to work on it as much

2148
01:41:06,960 --> 01:41:11,240
Speaker 1: as we can. How do you balance being eager too

2149
01:41:11,400 --> 01:41:14,160
Speaker 1: for this opportunity as opposed to being anxious knowing what

2150
01:41:14,360 --> 01:41:18,519
Speaker 1: could be on the line? Um, you know, it's just

2151
01:41:18,600 --> 01:41:20,560
Speaker 1: another game of going out and playing football. You know,

2152
01:41:20,640 --> 01:41:23,519
Speaker 1: the game hasn't changed. You know, the guys that play

2153
01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:25,519
Speaker 1: this game are a little bigger, a little faster, Um,

2154
01:41:25,760 --> 01:41:28,799
Speaker 1: but the dimensions are the same still game of football.

2155
01:41:28,840 --> 01:41:30,680
Speaker 1: You know, it's the game that I love grown up,

2156
01:41:30,720 --> 01:41:32,600
Speaker 1: and um the game that I continue to love and

2157
01:41:33,200 --> 01:41:35,160
Speaker 1: um continue to love even greater you know now that

2158
01:41:35,200 --> 01:41:37,800
Speaker 1: I'm here, so you know, just going out and enjoin

2159
01:41:37,880 --> 01:41:40,759
Speaker 1: the game. Go back to July twenty six, first training

2160
01:41:40,800 --> 01:41:43,479
Speaker 1: camp practice. Has the game slowed down for you? Or?

2161
01:41:43,560 --> 01:41:46,120
Speaker 1: And how is it changing anyway? Um? I mean, I

2162
01:41:46,160 --> 01:41:48,120
Speaker 1: guess we'll find out it comes Sunday whether it's slowed

2163
01:41:48,120 --> 01:41:49,800
Speaker 1: down enough. You know, I'm gonna go out there, and

2164
01:41:50,360 --> 01:41:52,000
Speaker 1: I guess I just trust the guys around me and

2165
01:41:52,080 --> 01:41:55,000
Speaker 1: trusting what coach dables calling, commit to it and try

2166
01:41:55,040 --> 01:41:57,760
Speaker 1: to go out there next gip, just another game? Is

2167
01:41:57,800 --> 01:42:00,880
Speaker 1: that possible that it's it's just another football game? Is

2168
01:42:00,920 --> 01:42:03,160
Speaker 1: and we're playing a really good defense. You know, the Bengals,

2169
01:42:03,280 --> 01:42:05,600
Speaker 1: they bring it every year. Um. You know it's a

2170
01:42:05,680 --> 01:42:08,000
Speaker 1: good team, it's a good coaching staff there, and you

2171
01:42:08,040 --> 01:42:10,479
Speaker 1: know they scheme up very well. Um, so it's gonna

2172
01:42:10,479 --> 01:42:12,400
Speaker 1: be fun going against them. Obviously it's gonna be my

2173
01:42:12,479 --> 01:42:14,200
Speaker 1: first start, so who knows what they're gonna throw aout

2174
01:42:14,240 --> 01:42:17,439
Speaker 1: us Um, but you know, I trusted my coaches here

2175
01:42:17,479 --> 01:42:18,680
Speaker 1: that will be prepared enough to go out there. And

2176
01:42:18,720 --> 01:42:22,080
Speaker 1: next you on Sunday saying, Josh, that starting to see

2177
01:42:22,479 --> 01:42:26,200
Speaker 1: a level of respect being generated by your teammates for

2178
01:42:26,600 --> 01:42:28,840
Speaker 1: what you've done thus far. I know that's probably not

2179
01:42:28,880 --> 01:42:31,600
Speaker 1: going to change your approach regardless, but how does it

2180
01:42:31,720 --> 01:42:34,640
Speaker 1: feel to to maybe be getting some traction in the

2181
01:42:34,760 --> 01:42:38,280
Speaker 1: area of the work I'm putting in is starting to

2182
01:42:38,320 --> 01:42:42,120
Speaker 1: earn a little respect here around the long Um. You know,

2183
01:42:42,160 --> 01:42:44,680
Speaker 1: I don't I don't go out there and you know,

2184
01:42:44,800 --> 01:42:48,360
Speaker 1: work hard and go out there early, um for everybody

2185
01:42:48,439 --> 01:42:50,200
Speaker 1: to notice me. And I do it because that's what

2186
01:42:50,240 --> 01:42:51,639
Speaker 1: I want to do. You know, I'm going to continue

2187
01:42:51,680 --> 01:42:53,680
Speaker 1: to learn and get better, and you know, people that

2188
01:42:53,800 --> 01:42:56,200
Speaker 1: notice that understand that I'm here for the team. And

2189
01:42:57,080 --> 01:42:58,360
Speaker 1: you know, we got a lot of great guys in

2190
01:42:58,439 --> 01:43:00,880
Speaker 1: this locker room and I'm glad have their respect or

2191
01:43:01,200 --> 01:43:03,240
Speaker 1: for the most part of it. And I'm continue to

2192
01:43:03,280 --> 01:43:06,920
Speaker 1: grow and continue to you know, try to develop those

2193
01:43:06,960 --> 01:43:09,720
Speaker 1: relationships inside and out of the locker room, UM, off

2194
01:43:09,800 --> 01:43:11,679
Speaker 1: and on the field. So you know, like I said,

2195
01:43:11,680 --> 01:43:13,800
Speaker 1: we got a really really great locker room and um,

2196
01:43:14,120 --> 01:43:16,240
Speaker 1: super glad to be Buffalo BO. You've said for two

2197
01:43:16,320 --> 01:43:18,960
Speaker 1: more guys. You've said it before, and other people have

2198
01:43:19,040 --> 01:43:20,720
Speaker 1: said this close to you have said this about and

2199
01:43:20,760 --> 01:43:24,000
Speaker 1: you said You're not out to really prove your critics wrong,

2200
01:43:24,200 --> 01:43:26,160
Speaker 1: but to prove the people who believed you that they

2201
01:43:26,200 --> 01:43:29,920
Speaker 1: were right. Um even just don't forget even the fresdo

2202
01:43:30,040 --> 01:43:32,439
Speaker 1: what happened with Frezzo State. But even reflecting back to

2203
01:43:32,600 --> 01:43:35,479
Speaker 1: last week where Jeln Ramsey called your trash, I mean,

2204
01:43:36,520 --> 01:43:42,600
Speaker 1: can you still, however, think draw upon that, knowing what

2205
01:43:42,800 --> 01:43:44,920
Speaker 1: you've what you've gone through, and I mean, does that

2206
01:43:45,080 --> 01:43:47,960
Speaker 1: end to your mind? Now? No? Like I said, I

2207
01:43:48,040 --> 01:43:49,840
Speaker 1: care about the guys in this locker room. I care

2208
01:43:49,840 --> 01:43:52,960
Speaker 1: about you know, the people in the higher ups here

2209
01:43:53,040 --> 01:43:55,360
Speaker 1: that put their neck online to draft me. You know,

2210
01:43:55,439 --> 01:43:57,840
Speaker 1: I'm here to be the best quarterback that I can

2211
01:43:57,880 --> 01:44:00,320
Speaker 1: be for the Buffalo Bills. Regardless of what anybody says

2212
01:44:00,320 --> 01:44:03,599
Speaker 1: outside of this locker room. It can it doesn't mean

2213
01:44:03,640 --> 01:44:06,680
Speaker 1: anything to me. The message doesn't change much, does it?

2214
01:44:06,760 --> 01:44:09,360
Speaker 1: From Josh Allen that's the Bill's rookie quarterbacks starting quarterback

2215
01:44:09,400 --> 01:44:11,479
Speaker 1: this Sunday against the Bengals. Meeting with the media moments

01:44:28,680 --> 01:44:30,559
Speaker 1: you can take this anywhere you want? But our initial

2223
01:44:30,680 --> 01:44:34,000
Speaker 1: question today Josh Allen's starting because it's his turn or

2224
01:44:34,080 --> 01:44:36,200
Speaker 1: because he's played well. If you want to answer that question,

2229
01:44:46,040 --> 01:44:48,439
Speaker 1: Allen's news conference. What struck you there? A couple of

2230
01:44:48,479 --> 01:44:49,920
Speaker 1: things he's you know, he says and does all the

2231
01:44:50,000 --> 01:44:51,920
Speaker 1: right things. I mean, he's certainly got the mentality in

2232
01:44:51,960 --> 01:44:55,240
Speaker 1: the articulate nature to be a quarterback because part of

2233
01:44:55,280 --> 01:44:57,120
Speaker 1: the job description in the NFL is you got to

2234
01:44:57,160 --> 01:44:59,840
Speaker 1: handle the media. There the guy everybody wants to talk to,

2235
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:01,519
Speaker 1: who needs to talk to to find out the most

2236
01:45:01,560 --> 01:45:03,559
Speaker 1: about the game and what's going on. They're the most

2237
01:45:03,600 --> 01:45:06,400
Speaker 1: important player on every team and it's part of the deal.

2238
01:45:06,560 --> 01:45:10,240
Speaker 1: He handles it extremely well. He particularly in this what's

2239
01:45:10,240 --> 01:45:12,080
Speaker 1: going to be his first start in the preseason game

2240
01:45:12,120 --> 01:45:16,160
Speaker 1: of his rookie year. He says the right things, and

2241
01:45:16,479 --> 01:45:20,760
Speaker 1: you gotta believe that's he comes across is believe in

2242
01:45:20,840 --> 01:45:23,840
Speaker 1: everything he says, which is really important. He said all

2243
01:45:23,880 --> 01:45:26,880
Speaker 1: the right stuff about you know, of course the media

2244
01:45:26,920 --> 01:45:29,200
Speaker 1: is bringing up all the stuff that's Jalen Ramsey said

2245
01:45:29,200 --> 01:45:31,080
Speaker 1: about you know, him being trash and all. And he says, listen,

2246
01:45:31,080 --> 01:45:32,880
Speaker 1: I'm worried about what the guys in my locker room

2247
01:45:32,960 --> 01:45:35,200
Speaker 1: think about me, not what somebody else thinks about me.

2248
01:45:35,280 --> 01:45:38,599
Speaker 1: It's a great answer. He also said some stuff about,

2249
01:45:38,640 --> 01:45:40,960
Speaker 1: you know, finding out from the veterans about how they

2250
01:45:41,040 --> 01:45:43,439
Speaker 1: handle a game week, what they do on a third Wednesday, Thursday,

2251
01:45:43,479 --> 01:45:46,400
Speaker 1: Friday before they start a game. In the NFL, he's

2252
01:45:46,400 --> 01:45:49,000
Speaker 1: just trying to make consistently make the right play every

2253
01:45:49,080 --> 01:45:51,160
Speaker 1: time he gets the ball snapped. And when day Ball

2254
01:45:51,240 --> 01:45:53,840
Speaker 1: makes a play call, he gonna try and execute and

2255
01:45:53,920 --> 01:45:55,840
Speaker 1: gonna try and sell out and believe in that play

2256
01:45:55,920 --> 01:45:58,000
Speaker 1: that it's the right one. Because I think at this

2257
01:45:58,080 --> 01:45:59,880
Speaker 1: point that's a great way to place to be because

2258
01:46:00,800 --> 01:46:04,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't know a better way. You know he doesn't

2259
01:46:04,120 --> 01:46:06,439
Speaker 1: have is he doesn't know enough about the thoughts the

2260
01:46:06,560 --> 01:46:08,840
Speaker 1: thought process of selecting a play. A lot of times

2261
01:46:08,880 --> 01:46:11,120
Speaker 1: when the quarterback gets into his second, third, fourth, and

2262
01:46:11,240 --> 01:46:14,559
Speaker 1: certainly as a veteran player, they start to have big,

2263
01:46:14,640 --> 01:46:17,560
Speaker 1: strong opinions about what places should be called. He's not

2264
01:46:17,640 --> 01:46:19,599
Speaker 1: to that point, and he acknowledges. I think that's great

2265
01:46:19,600 --> 01:46:24,320
Speaker 1: as well. You know, he's not the moment doesn't seem

2266
01:46:24,360 --> 01:46:25,720
Speaker 1: too big for him. He's not where he says, this

2267
01:46:25,920 --> 01:46:30,360
Speaker 1: is another game. He understands the preseason game. Yeah, that's bigger, better, stronger, faster, guys.

2268
01:46:30,400 --> 01:46:32,639
Speaker 1: But he's played twice already, right, He's had some pretty

2269
01:46:32,640 --> 01:46:36,320
Speaker 1: good results, and you know this point, he knows it's

2270
01:46:36,320 --> 01:46:37,920
Speaker 1: not too big for him. And a lot of great

2271
01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:39,920
Speaker 1: things that came out of that, right, And most of

2272
01:46:40,000 --> 01:46:41,640
Speaker 1: it is just the general feel about the kind of

2273
01:46:41,880 --> 01:46:43,360
Speaker 1: person he is. And let me get you that. I'm

2274
01:46:43,400 --> 01:46:45,080
Speaker 1: talking about that the moment not too big for him,

2275
01:46:45,080 --> 01:46:47,479
Speaker 1: and I agree with you on that. He was asked, well,

2276
01:46:47,600 --> 01:46:49,599
Speaker 1: is this what you know? Your dream come true? You've

2277
01:46:49,600 --> 01:46:52,400
Speaker 1: always dreamed about starting and I'm thinking of myself starting

2278
01:46:52,439 --> 01:46:55,040
Speaker 1: the preseason game. No nobody dreams about that, right, I mean,

2279
01:46:55,439 --> 01:46:58,200
Speaker 1: go back here to experience. Did you dream about preseason

2280
01:46:58,280 --> 01:46:59,760
Speaker 1: games when you were trying to make your way in

2281
01:46:59,800 --> 01:47:02,280
Speaker 1: the NFL? Well, you're nervous. I bet you were. I

2282
01:47:02,360 --> 01:47:04,040
Speaker 1: bet Josh would be a little bit nervous. But dude,

2283
01:47:04,080 --> 01:47:06,200
Speaker 1: people really think I can't wait to step on the

2284
01:47:06,240 --> 01:47:10,360
Speaker 1: field for my first preseason game. No, yeah, you're you're

2285
01:47:10,400 --> 01:47:13,240
Speaker 1: not thinking about starting preseason game. You're thinking about being

2286
01:47:13,280 --> 01:47:15,800
Speaker 1: on a team and play and starting, not starting whatever.

2287
01:47:16,120 --> 01:47:18,840
Speaker 1: As a quarterback, it's the same thing. I mean, you're

2288
01:47:18,880 --> 01:47:22,760
Speaker 1: not what game it is is irrelevant. He's gonna be

2289
01:47:22,840 --> 01:47:24,880
Speaker 1: nervous going out there, but now he's got a couple

2290
01:47:24,920 --> 01:47:27,360
Speaker 1: of games under his belt, he's played some reps. It's

2291
01:47:27,400 --> 01:47:30,120
Speaker 1: not going to be this big eye opening experience where

2292
01:47:30,200 --> 01:47:32,320
Speaker 1: and the fact that he's starting this game, I think

2293
01:47:32,520 --> 01:47:37,240
Speaker 1: is as not even a wrinkle in his thought process.

2294
01:47:37,320 --> 01:47:38,600
Speaker 1: This is just a game. He's gonna go out and

2295
01:47:38,600 --> 01:47:40,599
Speaker 1: he's I think he's thinking more about how long he's

2296
01:47:40,640 --> 01:47:42,960
Speaker 1: gonna play. I mean, if he does get into second

2297
01:47:43,040 --> 01:47:45,760
Speaker 1: half and take all of those reps throughout the first

2298
01:47:45,800 --> 01:47:47,519
Speaker 1: and second quarter into the second half, I think that's

2299
01:47:47,560 --> 01:47:50,840
Speaker 1: what he's thinking about more than just starting the game. Yeah,

2300
01:47:51,240 --> 01:47:54,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen starts. We don't know about McCarron. A J

2301
01:47:54,240 --> 01:47:58,280
Speaker 1: McCarron limited in practice today, according to head coach Sean McDermott.

2302
01:47:58,600 --> 01:48:02,080
Speaker 1: McDermott was asked today, if mccaren is limited today, is

2303
01:48:02,120 --> 01:48:04,920
Speaker 1: he still an option for potentially being the starter on

2304
01:48:05,040 --> 01:48:07,879
Speaker 1: September ninth against the Baltimore Ravens. Here's what John McDermot

2305
01:48:07,960 --> 01:48:12,599
Speaker 1: said about that. Just limited today and we'll see how

2306
01:48:12,640 --> 01:48:15,320
Speaker 1: he does today. I don't know anything further at this point, Chris,

2307
01:48:15,479 --> 01:48:17,439
Speaker 1: because of I want to see how he looks today

2308
01:48:17,479 --> 01:48:21,360
Speaker 1: and fields, and certainly we'll communicate on that AJ and

2309
01:48:21,439 --> 01:48:24,240
Speaker 1: I and with our trainer and UH and move forward

2310
01:48:24,280 --> 01:48:28,799
Speaker 1: one day at a time. Maybe it looked like initially

2311
01:48:29,000 --> 01:48:31,400
Speaker 1: and what it is now, and yeah, I mean you

2312
01:48:31,479 --> 01:48:33,840
Speaker 1: know this is also why you know I said what

2313
01:48:33,960 --> 01:48:36,680
Speaker 1: I said after the game there, because we wanted to

2314
01:48:36,920 --> 01:48:39,600
Speaker 1: go through more tests and uh. And so to this

2315
01:48:39,720 --> 01:48:43,479
Speaker 1: point those tests have have been in our favor, in

2316
01:48:43,560 --> 01:48:46,799
Speaker 1: AJ's favor, and that that in fact it wasn't broken.

2317
01:48:46,880 --> 01:48:50,600
Speaker 1: So um, you know again, we're just general soreness right now.

2318
01:48:50,640 --> 01:48:53,879
Speaker 1: We're gonna take it one day at a time. Mccaren,

2319
01:48:54,640 --> 01:48:57,360
Speaker 1: your thoughts on Josh Hammond or the whole Bill's quarterback picture,

2320
01:48:57,400 --> 01:48:59,320
Speaker 1: we are ready to entertain them on our phone. Nine

2321
01:48:59,360 --> 01:49:02,880
Speaker 1: eight oh three fifty until free one eight eight eight

2322
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:06,080
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty. Greg on the line from Amherst,

2323
01:49:06,080 --> 01:49:09,560
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Greg, welcome to the show. Oh Greg, you

2324
01:49:09,600 --> 01:49:16,720
Speaker 1: gotta turn down your radio please, gregher go ahead. I

2325
01:49:16,800 --> 01:49:19,200
Speaker 1: saw his question on the screen and it's a It's

2326
01:49:19,240 --> 01:49:22,519
Speaker 1: too bad Greg misplayed his hand there, because I think

2327
01:49:22,560 --> 01:49:26,120
Speaker 1: it's an interesting question. Why announced the starter so early

2328
01:49:26,560 --> 01:49:30,719
Speaker 1: this week? Um, Sean McDermott. Everybody waiting until twenty minutes

2329
01:49:30,760 --> 01:49:33,599
Speaker 1: before kickoff in each of the last two games, right.

2330
01:49:34,040 --> 01:49:36,800
Speaker 1: I guess we anticipated mccaren to be the starter last

2331
01:49:36,840 --> 01:49:39,639
Speaker 1: week in Cleveland because he got the ones all week long.

2332
01:49:39,720 --> 01:49:43,479
Speaker 1: But why did McDermot make that announcement this week Monday instead?

2333
01:49:43,520 --> 01:49:45,240
Speaker 1: He said that a little bit in his He touched

2334
01:49:45,240 --> 01:49:47,280
Speaker 1: on it in his press conference. He said he wanted

2335
01:49:47,760 --> 01:49:50,720
Speaker 1: Josh to go through a week as a starter with

2336
01:49:51,240 --> 01:49:53,519
Speaker 1: Like we just saw, he had a ten minute post

2337
01:49:53,760 --> 01:49:57,040
Speaker 1: practice press conference that he had to take care of.

2338
01:49:57,200 --> 01:49:59,439
Speaker 1: He's gonna be in the production meeting, probably with a

2339
01:49:59,520 --> 01:50:01,800
Speaker 1: Fox broadcast crew. He's gonna have to go through the

2340
01:50:01,840 --> 01:50:05,040
Speaker 1: week being the guy that coached Brian Daybole is talking

2341
01:50:05,080 --> 01:50:07,360
Speaker 1: to in every quarterback and meeting. He's going to be

2342
01:50:07,439 --> 01:50:09,360
Speaker 1: talked to about what he likes in the game plan,

2343
01:50:09,640 --> 01:50:11,679
Speaker 1: what he wants to throw out, which plays he wants

2344
01:50:11,720 --> 01:50:15,160
Speaker 1: to look at. All of that stuff comes and gets

2345
01:50:15,200 --> 01:50:18,679
Speaker 1: put on his plate as the starter, and by telling

2346
01:50:18,800 --> 01:50:21,200
Speaker 1: him that a week before, it adds the fact that

2347
01:50:22,920 --> 01:50:25,920
Speaker 1: everybody knows it like they always do for the starter.

2348
01:50:26,439 --> 01:50:28,040
Speaker 1: Every team knows who their starter is going to be

2349
01:50:28,280 --> 01:50:30,360
Speaker 1: on a given week, and he's got to deal with

2350
01:50:30,520 --> 01:50:33,560
Speaker 1: that being known. So it's part of the distraction of

2351
01:50:33,680 --> 01:50:35,680
Speaker 1: being a starting quarterback. And then they wanted to give

2352
01:50:35,720 --> 01:50:37,200
Speaker 1: him a feel for it. I think it's a smart move.

2353
01:50:37,680 --> 01:50:40,679
Speaker 1: On the tweet sheet on this question Josh Allen why

2354
01:50:41,080 --> 01:50:43,360
Speaker 1: this week? Why does he start? Is it his turn

2355
01:50:43,520 --> 01:50:46,800
Speaker 1: in the rotation or because he's played well? From miss

2356
01:50:46,960 --> 01:50:50,840
Speaker 1: a from b K. The answer McDermott is methodical. It

2357
01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:53,000
Speaker 1: was the plan out along. However, I know he would

2358
01:50:53,040 --> 01:50:55,519
Speaker 1: never put his first round pick in if he felt

2359
01:50:55,520 --> 01:50:58,599
Speaker 1: he wasn't ready. Josh Allen deserves the start. The staff

2360
01:50:58,760 --> 01:51:01,200
Speaker 1: needs to do this in order to evaluate him in

2361
01:51:01,320 --> 01:51:05,760
Speaker 1: this type of situation. So smart go Bills. Very nice

2362
01:51:05,800 --> 01:51:09,360
Speaker 1: miss a from b K. From Marty Rogers, Josh is

2363
01:51:09,400 --> 01:51:12,000
Speaker 1: starting because of his play. I think he's been ahead

2364
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:14,559
Speaker 1: of schedule. He clearly gives the arm. He clearly has

2365
01:51:14,600 --> 01:51:18,000
Speaker 1: the armed talent to create opportunities that Nate and AJ cannot.

2366
01:51:18,400 --> 01:51:20,720
Speaker 1: While he will make mistakes, he may also provide the

2367
01:51:20,760 --> 01:51:23,920
Speaker 1: best to get win games offensively as the defense learns

2368
01:51:23,960 --> 01:51:27,240
Speaker 1: to gel all of that. And yeah, and from Ian

2369
01:51:27,320 --> 01:51:29,160
Speaker 1: Ammon's I think the big question or whether or not

2370
01:51:29,320 --> 01:51:32,000
Speaker 1: Josh starts is his mental toughness. Is he capable at

2371
01:51:32,080 --> 01:51:33,960
Speaker 1: this moment to take some of the lumps a starting

2372
01:51:34,040 --> 01:51:36,600
Speaker 1: quarterback takes during the season. His physical tools are the

2373
01:51:36,640 --> 01:51:38,800
Speaker 1: best of the three. It has to be safe for

2374
01:51:38,960 --> 01:51:44,200
Speaker 1: him to start, not detrimental. These people have been listening

2375
01:51:44,200 --> 01:51:47,680
Speaker 1: to the show. Yes, which is the idea. That's the

2376
01:51:47,800 --> 01:51:51,320
Speaker 1: idea from Jim his tweet. If Alan wasn't good enough

2377
01:51:51,320 --> 01:51:53,600
Speaker 1: at this point, where he wasn't a possible starter, I

2378
01:51:53,680 --> 01:51:56,000
Speaker 1: think he wouldn't be starting we three. If it's a

2379
01:51:56,080 --> 01:51:58,280
Speaker 1: three horse race and one falls behind, what's the sense

2380
01:51:58,360 --> 01:52:02,200
Speaker 1: of having his start a rest rehearsal game. Yeah, and

2381
01:52:02,240 --> 01:52:04,040
Speaker 1: I think if one of them fell behind, it had

2382
01:52:04,040 --> 01:52:06,120
Speaker 1: to be AJ mccaren getting hurt. I mean, that's that

2383
01:52:06,400 --> 01:52:09,360
Speaker 1: takes you off the out of the mix. So if

2384
01:52:09,400 --> 01:52:13,080
Speaker 1: it comes down to Nate Peterman and Josh Allen. Hard

2385
01:52:13,120 --> 01:52:18,080
Speaker 1: to imagine Nate Peterman playing better than he has. And

2386
01:52:18,200 --> 01:52:20,280
Speaker 1: if you take and that's the thing, if you take

2387
01:52:20,360 --> 01:52:21,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen out of the picture, and you've got a

2388
01:52:22,520 --> 01:52:24,560
Speaker 1: Peterman going playing as well as he has, you have

2389
01:52:24,600 --> 01:52:26,479
Speaker 1: to feel pretty good about the way he has played.

2390
01:52:27,160 --> 01:52:28,880
Speaker 1: But when you put Josh Allen in there, and you

2391
01:52:28,960 --> 01:52:32,160
Speaker 1: show a strong arm athlete who's playmaker and can do

2392
01:52:32,320 --> 01:52:34,240
Speaker 1: things the other guy can't, then all of a sudden,

2393
01:52:34,280 --> 01:52:36,320
Speaker 1: it takes the shine off what Peterman has done. I

2394
01:52:36,360 --> 01:52:40,400
Speaker 1: think that's where we sit from Kevin. He thinks it's rotation.

2395
01:52:40,920 --> 01:52:43,320
Speaker 1: Kevin says, why is Allen starting? I think it's rotation.

2396
01:52:43,400 --> 01:52:46,160
Speaker 1: They saved Allen for last to see how he would

2397
01:52:46,160 --> 01:52:48,320
Speaker 1: do with the week being the guy and how we

2398
01:52:48,360 --> 01:52:51,519
Speaker 1: will perform with that pressure. Don't know that there's much pressure, really,

2399
01:52:51,680 --> 01:52:54,280
Speaker 1: but I see what you're saying. You think it's rotation. Look,

2400
01:52:54,439 --> 01:52:56,800
Speaker 1: Steve and I kind of disagree on this. He seems

2401
01:52:56,840 --> 01:52:59,720
Speaker 1: to think it's more rotation. I think the bills were

2402
01:53:00,800 --> 01:53:04,760
Speaker 1: canny enough. Sean McDermott canny enough to talk about his plan,

2403
01:53:04,880 --> 01:53:06,280
Speaker 1: and we're sticking with the plan, and I think the

2404
01:53:06,360 --> 01:53:11,120
Speaker 1: plan included flexibility to make a change. Yeah, I mean

2405
01:53:11,200 --> 01:53:13,920
Speaker 1: I never thought about that thing. And like even if

2406
01:53:13,960 --> 01:53:16,760
Speaker 1: they had changed the plan and having flexibility and things,

2407
01:53:16,960 --> 01:53:20,960
Speaker 1: and the way Josh Allen has played accelerated or made

2408
01:53:21,000 --> 01:53:23,519
Speaker 1: them change it or put him higher on the list,

2409
01:53:23,840 --> 01:53:27,000
Speaker 1: they would never say that, right, say no, no, no, no,

2410
01:53:27,240 --> 01:53:30,639
Speaker 1: that's pressure. If they would say we're starting Josh because

2411
01:53:30,680 --> 01:53:32,240
Speaker 1: he's played so well and we think he might be

2412
01:53:32,320 --> 01:53:34,880
Speaker 1: the starter, this was not the plan. But he's played

2413
01:53:34,920 --> 01:53:37,280
Speaker 1: so well, we're saying him pressure. That would be pressure.

2414
01:53:37,360 --> 01:53:40,400
Speaker 1: But now they're just they're saying just the opposite. No, no, no, no, no,

2415
01:53:40,560 --> 01:53:43,120
Speaker 1: This was all part of the plan. He hasn't messed up.

2416
01:53:43,400 --> 01:53:45,280
Speaker 1: This was we're going to give him a start. It's

2417
01:53:45,360 --> 01:53:48,120
Speaker 1: his turn. Yes, he's played well, Yes he has earned

2418
01:53:48,160 --> 01:53:52,280
Speaker 1: the right to get this starting. But you're right, they

2419
01:53:52,360 --> 01:53:58,160
Speaker 1: would never say, wow, he's really we've changed their plans. Well,

2420
01:53:58,240 --> 01:54:00,360
Speaker 1: we've changed Yeah, you're right, that's a good point. I

2421
01:54:00,439 --> 01:54:03,280
Speaker 1: had never thought about. That's a good point by you, Murph.

2422
01:54:03,400 --> 01:54:05,599
Speaker 1: I still don't think that's the way exactly it happened.

2423
01:54:05,720 --> 01:54:08,800
Speaker 1: Sipping the kool aid tweets and he's played well, Josh Allen,

2424
01:54:08,880 --> 01:54:11,400
Speaker 1: He's thinking. McDermot always talks about learning from things, and

2425
01:54:11,479 --> 01:54:14,559
Speaker 1: that includes himself. Perhaps he learned from the Peterman quarterback

2426
01:54:14,600 --> 01:54:17,920
Speaker 1: switch last year and he's preparing Allen differently because he

2427
01:54:18,000 --> 01:54:21,360
Speaker 1: felt Peterman was not prepared adequately for it last year.

2428
01:54:21,880 --> 01:54:24,679
Speaker 1: That's not a bad point either, obviously, I think sipping

2429
01:54:24,680 --> 01:54:27,960
Speaker 1: the kool aid. You know, maybe Josh Allen starts this game.

2430
01:54:28,000 --> 01:54:30,759
Speaker 1: It does not start September night. I have a feeling

2431
01:54:30,800 --> 01:54:33,760
Speaker 1: that's kind of leaning in that direction. But if that

2432
01:54:33,920 --> 01:54:35,920
Speaker 1: doesn't happen, and they get to a point in the

2433
01:54:35,960 --> 01:54:38,160
Speaker 1: regular season where they're ready to make a quarterback switch

2434
01:54:38,240 --> 01:54:40,040
Speaker 1: perhaps and Josh Allen is the guy they want to

2435
01:54:40,040 --> 01:54:43,320
Speaker 1: go to, it would not be like a Nathan Peterman situation.

2436
01:54:43,400 --> 01:54:45,520
Speaker 1: Josh would have experienced doing the whole week's worth of

2437
01:54:46,080 --> 01:54:48,880
Speaker 1: quarterback stuff. As Steve has pointed out, that's interesting because

2438
01:54:49,120 --> 01:54:51,600
Speaker 1: they are gonna look back at how they handled Nathan

2439
01:54:51,640 --> 01:54:53,840
Speaker 1: Peterman going into that game last year in LA and

2440
01:54:53,880 --> 01:54:56,080
Speaker 1: then think, Okay, what could we have done better to

2441
01:54:56,240 --> 01:54:59,360
Speaker 1: prepare him? And they're gonna they're gonna lay that over

2442
01:54:59,440 --> 01:55:02,040
Speaker 1: the top of what's happening with Josh Allen. Any given moment,

2443
01:55:02,200 --> 01:55:04,480
Speaker 1: and when it is time for him to play, they're

2444
01:55:04,480 --> 01:55:07,560
Speaker 1: going to make sure that they don't repeat whatever mistakes

2445
01:55:07,600 --> 01:55:09,920
Speaker 1: they perceive themselves to have made with Nate Peterman. So

2446
01:55:10,640 --> 01:55:12,400
Speaker 1: and Peterman will help him with that as well if

2447
01:55:12,640 --> 01:55:14,600
Speaker 1: it's time for that, and Peter will say, listen, I

2448
01:55:14,640 --> 01:55:16,640
Speaker 1: didn't you know. This caught me off guard. That caught

2449
01:55:16,680 --> 01:55:19,120
Speaker 1: me off guard. I didn't know I to spend so

2450
01:55:19,240 --> 01:55:21,640
Speaker 1: much time doing the meeting I know it has spend

2451
01:55:21,680 --> 01:55:24,360
Speaker 1: so much time in meeting rooms. And that's a that's

2452
01:55:24,360 --> 01:55:26,320
Speaker 1: a great point that the club learned a little bit

2453
01:55:26,360 --> 01:55:28,720
Speaker 1: about handling a quarterback being plugged in as a starter

2454
01:55:28,800 --> 01:55:31,160
Speaker 1: in the middle of the season with Nate Peterman last

2455
01:55:31,200 --> 01:55:33,000
Speaker 1: year when it didn't go well, and they're going to

2456
01:55:33,080 --> 01:55:35,760
Speaker 1: apply that to whatever happens to Josh Allen. So they

2457
01:55:35,840 --> 01:55:39,440
Speaker 1: do have that experience both as a staff and as players.

2458
01:55:39,560 --> 01:55:41,880
Speaker 1: Let's take your call, Gary and Rochester. Go ahead, Gary,

2459
01:55:41,880 --> 01:55:45,560
Speaker 1: you're on the air with us. How you doing, guys, Okay,

2460
01:55:46,480 --> 01:55:51,000
Speaker 1: great program, Well, thank you. I've got two things. First stop.

2461
01:55:51,720 --> 01:55:54,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys noticed, but no matter

2462
01:55:55,120 --> 01:56:00,400
Speaker 1: where Josh Allen played, it seemed as though the team

2463
01:56:01,160 --> 01:56:04,960
Speaker 1: the rest of the team almost like sparked and came

2464
01:56:05,320 --> 01:56:10,480
Speaker 1: came to life. UM. The second thing is I've got

2465
01:56:10,600 --> 01:56:16,000
Speaker 1: a candidate for the UM the name for the secondary. Huh,

2466
01:56:16,200 --> 01:56:21,120
Speaker 1: what do you got? I got B dread or BB dread.

2467
01:56:21,520 --> 01:56:27,440
Speaker 1: The bills build dread. That's what it stands for. D

2468
01:56:27,640 --> 01:56:30,800
Speaker 1: R E A D. I guess you're mean dreadlocks, but

2469
01:56:30,960 --> 01:56:34,400
Speaker 1: dread like dread like you dread coming into our stadium.

2470
01:56:35,160 --> 01:56:39,400
Speaker 1: D r e d D. That's not a word. That's

2471
01:56:39,520 --> 01:56:41,680
Speaker 1: d r e a D. That is okay, d r

2472
01:56:41,720 --> 01:56:46,720
Speaker 1: E d D. What's that means? People who come here

2473
01:56:46,800 --> 01:56:53,840
Speaker 1: can expect a lot of negative, hard playing, gonna beat

2474
01:56:53,920 --> 01:56:57,560
Speaker 1: you up kind of people, and it it talks about

2475
01:56:58,200 --> 01:57:01,840
Speaker 1: having dread in your mind about going there. That word

2476
01:57:01,960 --> 01:57:05,680
Speaker 1: is d r E a D. Yeah, Murphy, I sensed

2477
01:57:05,760 --> 01:57:08,440
Speaker 1: less than enthusiasm for them. You do, Yes, I do.

2478
01:57:08,760 --> 01:57:11,960
Speaker 1: I think I think it was settled. Thanks for the call, Garrett,

2479
01:57:11,960 --> 01:57:13,800
Speaker 1: that's a good one. But I thought it was settled

2480
01:57:13,800 --> 01:57:16,600
Speaker 1: when Trade White came out and said bill collectors. Didn't

2481
01:57:16,600 --> 01:57:18,800
Speaker 1: that settle? I think they It's hard for me to

2482
01:57:19,200 --> 01:57:21,320
Speaker 1: say it's okay for a team to pick their own nickname,

2483
01:57:21,720 --> 01:57:24,280
Speaker 1: but Tradevius came up with a really good one. What

2484
01:57:24,360 --> 01:57:26,280
Speaker 1: do you collect forget all about all that? What do

2485
01:57:26,320 --> 01:57:28,000
Speaker 1: you think about josh a would be in the spark

2486
01:57:28,040 --> 01:57:30,440
Speaker 1: when he comes in the game. That's what first said

2487
01:57:30,480 --> 01:57:32,520
Speaker 1: his first point. I don't know about that either, because

2488
01:57:32,600 --> 01:57:36,839
Speaker 1: I think, um, he wasn't Cleveland, Cleveland. He was definitely

2489
01:57:36,920 --> 01:57:41,160
Speaker 1: absence was different. But look, Nathan Peterman and the Bills

2490
01:57:41,200 --> 01:57:45,000
Speaker 1: started out really well in preseason game number one against Carolina.

2491
01:57:45,240 --> 01:57:47,360
Speaker 1: It was great temple, great pace. They got all those

2492
01:57:47,720 --> 01:57:50,080
Speaker 1: personnel packages in they wanted to get in. I have

2493
01:57:50,200 --> 01:57:52,160
Speaker 1: no problem with the way they played with spark and

2494
01:57:52,640 --> 01:57:54,960
Speaker 1: energy when Peterman was in there, and even McCarron played

2495
01:57:55,000 --> 01:57:57,600
Speaker 1: well in Carolina. Yeah, and Carolina too. Josh came in

2496
01:57:57,720 --> 01:58:01,800
Speaker 1: and win what nine for nineteen? Yeah, no, no, Josh, okay,

2497
01:58:02,000 --> 01:58:07,640
Speaker 1: Josh right, But then Allen comes in and get nine

2498
01:58:07,680 --> 01:58:10,640
Speaker 1: for nineteen. So he didn't really spark it like he

2499
01:58:10,720 --> 01:58:12,280
Speaker 1: thought he was going to, although he did have the

2500
01:58:12,400 --> 01:58:15,240
Speaker 1: nice you know, the first play from scrimmage against Carolina

2501
01:58:15,320 --> 01:58:18,040
Speaker 1: with the nine thousand yard pass outbound and then he

2502
01:58:18,160 --> 01:58:21,840
Speaker 1: had the laser for the touchdown later, so there was

2503
01:58:21,840 --> 01:58:23,320
Speaker 1: a little bit of There was a couple of spots

2504
01:58:23,960 --> 01:58:27,160
Speaker 1: but I don't. The spark really was evident in the

2505
01:58:27,280 --> 01:58:30,640
Speaker 1: Cleveland game when he came in after AJ getting hurt. Um,

2506
01:58:30,880 --> 01:58:32,880
Speaker 1: like I said, which he Nope, none of us knew

2507
01:58:32,920 --> 01:58:35,600
Speaker 1: that AJ was hurt when he came out. Josh Allen

2508
01:58:35,680 --> 01:58:37,920
Speaker 1: goes in and then after four straight three and outs,

2509
01:58:38,000 --> 01:58:40,240
Speaker 1: Josh Allen leads him down the field and they looked great.

2510
01:58:40,800 --> 01:58:43,160
Speaker 1: Uh And I said on the broadcast they did get

2511
01:58:43,240 --> 01:58:46,560
Speaker 1: helped by a by a face mask penalty that probably

2512
01:58:46,640 --> 01:58:49,720
Speaker 1: wasn't but nevertheless, it was like an eighty yard drive

2513
01:58:49,800 --> 01:58:52,480
Speaker 1: and they looked really good, finishing with that touchdown pass

2514
01:58:52,520 --> 01:58:53,800
Speaker 1: to the back of the end zone the street or so.

2515
01:58:53,960 --> 01:58:57,240
Speaker 1: Yeah in Cleveland, Yeah, no doubt. Josh Allen was a

2516
01:58:57,280 --> 01:59:01,160
Speaker 1: spark that they needed. But they had been they've been

2517
01:59:01,240 --> 01:59:03,720
Speaker 1: wet leaves trying to get spark before that. I mean,

2518
01:59:03,800 --> 01:59:05,840
Speaker 1: it was bad. It was bad. A break. We'll talk more.

2519
01:59:05,880 --> 01:59:07,320
Speaker 1: We'll get more of your phone calls on the year

2520
01:59:07,360 --> 01:59:09,600
Speaker 1: when we return. About this quarterback question for the Bills,

2521
01:59:09,840 --> 01:59:13,520
Speaker 1: It's interesting. It's fun, isn't it. It's fun. It is fun. Yeah,

2522
01:59:13,600 --> 01:59:14,840
Speaker 1: we can go a lot of different ways with this.

2523
01:59:14,920 --> 01:59:17,560
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive. This is Buffalo

2524
01:59:17,680 --> 01:59:34,120
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. Got a lot of people hanging on the

2525
01:59:34,200 --> 01:59:36,320
Speaker 1: phone line, Steve, we should get to those. John Murphy

2526
01:59:36,320 --> 01:59:38,720
Speaker 1: and Steve Tasker one Bill's Live. We talked about Josh

2527
01:59:38,800 --> 01:59:41,120
Speaker 1: Allen the quarterback decision. Was a part of the rotation

2528
01:59:41,920 --> 01:59:44,120
Speaker 1: or is he just played that? Well? What do you think?

2529
01:59:44,160 --> 01:59:46,360
Speaker 1: Give us a call? Here is Joe and Buffalo. Go ahead, Joe,

2530
01:59:46,400 --> 01:59:49,120
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. How you doing? John and Steve?

2531
01:59:49,360 --> 01:59:52,880
Speaker 1: I think it's Josh, not Josh Allen's turn. I think

2532
01:59:52,920 --> 01:59:56,040
Speaker 1: he's earned the right to play because he's looked world

2533
01:59:56,240 --> 01:59:58,960
Speaker 1: better than all the other quarterbacks thus far in the preseason,

2534
01:59:59,520 --> 02:00:02,120
Speaker 1: and you have so much invested in him. Why wait,

2535
02:00:02,240 --> 02:00:06,120
Speaker 1: we've waited seventeen years before last year. I'm sick of waiting.

2536
02:00:06,160 --> 02:00:09,440
Speaker 1: I'm twenty seven. Yeah, you're getting old, Jet, Yeah, Joe,

2537
02:00:10,040 --> 02:00:12,360
Speaker 1: I was wishing I was twenty seven. Joe, how do

2538
02:00:12,440 --> 02:00:15,320
Speaker 1: you think he's played worlds better than Nathan Peterman who's

2539
02:00:15,320 --> 02:00:20,200
Speaker 1: seventeen or twenty with a couple of touchdowns. Nathan Peterman

2540
02:00:20,280 --> 02:00:23,200
Speaker 1: looks like the last ten years of quarterbacks, thinks dunks.

2541
02:00:23,280 --> 02:00:25,600
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, he looked okay, But when I see

2542
02:00:25,640 --> 02:00:27,720
Speaker 1: all and I get excited I go, wow, look at

2543
02:00:27,760 --> 02:00:30,040
Speaker 1: that throw to Streeter in the end me, I don't

2544
02:00:30,040 --> 02:00:32,040
Speaker 1: think Peterman could make that throw? Do you? Well? He

2545
02:00:32,120 --> 02:00:34,640
Speaker 1: might not make it, but he certainly might. I mean,

2546
02:00:34,760 --> 02:00:36,960
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Do you think Nathan Peterman gives you

2547
02:00:37,360 --> 02:00:41,280
Speaker 1: a worst chance to win a game on opening Day

2548
02:00:41,800 --> 02:00:45,640
Speaker 1: than Josh Allen? That's what you're saying that that is

2549
02:00:45,720 --> 02:00:47,920
Speaker 1: my opinion because even when he looked good in the

2550
02:00:47,960 --> 02:00:51,360
Speaker 1: preseason game against Carolina, I mean, those passes that he threw,

2551
02:00:51,400 --> 02:00:55,000
Speaker 1: in my opinion, could have been easily intercepted versus caught

2552
02:00:55,120 --> 02:00:57,720
Speaker 1: because there wasn't enough philosophy on him. And I just

2553
02:00:57,840 --> 02:01:01,360
Speaker 1: think table made him look good. Good points. And see say,

2554
02:01:01,440 --> 02:01:02,680
Speaker 1: I want to say I agree with a lot of

2555
02:01:02,720 --> 02:01:07,120
Speaker 1: what Joe's saying. To your point, Um, Nathan, what was

2556
02:01:07,120 --> 02:01:10,000
Speaker 1: your question? Last question? Nathan Peterman gives him a better chance?

2557
02:01:10,160 --> 02:01:12,240
Speaker 1: I mean not, Josh Allen gives him a better chance

2558
02:01:12,280 --> 02:01:15,200
Speaker 1: to win on opening day September ninth than Nathan Peterman.

2559
02:01:15,320 --> 02:01:19,640
Speaker 1: I think so, not because wow, there's nothing wrong with

2560
02:01:19,840 --> 02:01:22,840
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman, but Josh Allman gives them the potential to

2561
02:01:22,960 --> 02:01:25,640
Speaker 1: make some bigger plays which could beat the Baltimore Ravens.

2562
02:01:25,680 --> 02:01:27,960
Speaker 1: On opening day. I'm not committing right now to starting

2563
02:01:27,960 --> 02:01:29,840
Speaker 1: them September and I let's see what happens this Sunday.

2564
02:01:30,080 --> 02:01:31,720
Speaker 1: I've gone week to week on this, by the way.

2565
02:01:31,920 --> 02:01:34,480
Speaker 1: But he does give them the potential with his arm

2566
02:01:34,560 --> 02:01:37,120
Speaker 1: and with his talent to make big plays, which I

2567
02:01:37,160 --> 02:01:38,960
Speaker 1: don't know if you get from Peterman or mccarrey. And

2568
02:01:39,000 --> 02:01:41,000
Speaker 1: here's the thing too, I mean, Nathan Peterman does bring

2569
02:01:41,040 --> 02:01:43,480
Speaker 1: you some things. He's intelligent and all that, but but

2570
02:01:43,680 --> 02:01:45,920
Speaker 1: his experience is limited to two starts and a year

2571
02:01:45,960 --> 02:01:50,480
Speaker 1: of being a backup to Tyrod Taylor. Is that gonna

2572
02:01:50,600 --> 02:01:56,240
Speaker 1: help him win one more game than Josh Allen would

2573
02:01:56,240 --> 02:01:58,600
Speaker 1: win by you know, having the week and being the

2574
02:01:58,680 --> 02:02:03,600
Speaker 1: starter and uh, with an you know, that's a good question,

2575
02:02:03,680 --> 02:02:05,800
Speaker 1: because when you get down to it, two starts is

2576
02:02:05,840 --> 02:02:07,920
Speaker 1: not that much more experience. But the year of banning

2577
02:02:08,040 --> 02:02:10,280
Speaker 1: back up and watching a guy do it and seeing

2578
02:02:10,320 --> 02:02:12,560
Speaker 1: all that film studying and seeing all that NFL action

2579
02:02:12,600 --> 02:02:14,560
Speaker 1: and being a part of the of it in the

2580
02:02:14,600 --> 02:02:18,880
Speaker 1: fray does give you something. And you have seen a

2581
02:02:19,000 --> 02:02:24,280
Speaker 1: lot more on film than Josh Allen has. But do

2582
02:02:24,400 --> 02:02:28,000
Speaker 1: you translate that That's it's it's the central question that's

2583
02:02:28,080 --> 02:02:30,400
Speaker 1: the central question of who's gonna start for the Bills

2584
02:02:30,440 --> 02:02:33,560
Speaker 1: on September nine, because that's if you take aj McCarron

2585
02:02:33,880 --> 02:02:36,160
Speaker 1: out of it, makes it because of your swich collarbone injury.

2586
02:02:36,200 --> 02:02:38,080
Speaker 1: No one's doing that yet. Yeah, nobody can do that either.

2587
02:02:38,280 --> 02:02:40,520
Speaker 1: John and Las Vegas. Oh, John, Welcome to the show.

2588
02:02:44,120 --> 02:02:47,440
Speaker 1: John and Las Vegas. Hey, how you doing, sir? Great sir?

2589
02:02:47,640 --> 02:02:50,880
Speaker 1: Go ahead, you're on the air. Hey, sorry, guys, I'm

2590
02:02:50,880 --> 02:02:53,920
Speaker 1: a police officer. My phone cut out for a second. Okay,

2591
02:02:54,280 --> 02:02:56,400
Speaker 1: thank you guys for letting me on today. Just want

2592
02:02:56,440 --> 02:02:58,240
Speaker 1: to say, I think the most important thing to talk

2593
02:02:58,280 --> 02:03:02,280
Speaker 1: about is stealing of these quarterbacks. Who's got the highest

2594
02:03:02,360 --> 02:03:04,880
Speaker 1: ceiling and where the potential is going to be. And

2595
02:03:05,000 --> 02:03:07,040
Speaker 1: I mean, how could you go against the fact that

2596
02:03:07,120 --> 02:03:10,080
Speaker 1: this kid, this rookie has the highest ceiling, which which

2597
02:03:10,240 --> 02:03:13,080
Speaker 1: is intangibles. You really can't touch you with any other person.

2598
02:03:13,720 --> 02:03:16,200
Speaker 1: So I mean that's where you guys got to. I mean,

2599
02:03:16,280 --> 02:03:18,120
Speaker 1: I think as a team, we got to play towards

2600
02:03:18,160 --> 02:03:21,680
Speaker 1: our strength, and our strengths are big arm quarterbacks, you

2601
02:03:21,760 --> 02:03:23,680
Speaker 1: know where we don't have that. And the other guys,

2602
02:03:23,760 --> 02:03:26,560
Speaker 1: I mean they can play, they could play three downs

2603
02:03:26,640 --> 02:03:29,280
Speaker 1: with this guy, and you know, play the whole season

2604
02:03:29,360 --> 02:03:32,920
Speaker 1: out and if hey we get five, six, seven, eight

2605
02:03:32,960 --> 02:03:35,560
Speaker 1: wins with him, at least you've got the future behind him,

2606
02:03:35,560 --> 02:03:37,640
Speaker 1: and he's got all the intangibles to keep him in there.

2607
02:03:37,800 --> 02:03:40,720
Speaker 1: Interesting points. Jnste if you wouldn't dispute that Josh has

2608
02:03:40,760 --> 02:03:43,920
Speaker 1: the highest ceiling, right? No, I know, but that's your point.

2609
02:03:44,040 --> 02:03:46,040
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna speak for you. Who's got the best present,

2610
02:03:46,160 --> 02:03:48,120
Speaker 1: Who's who's right, who's got the best chance to win?

2611
02:03:48,160 --> 02:03:50,600
Speaker 1: September ninth. Yeah, And that's and that's basically when it

2612
02:03:50,640 --> 02:03:52,400
Speaker 1: comes down to. And and it's hard to know that

2613
02:03:53,400 --> 02:03:55,480
Speaker 1: given what's going on. And I hear what John saying

2614
02:03:55,480 --> 02:03:58,200
Speaker 1: out in Vegas. I mean the hight, the high end

2615
02:03:58,240 --> 02:04:02,560
Speaker 1: of this is Josh Allen's physical ability. And I went

2616
02:04:02,640 --> 02:04:04,520
Speaker 1: back today and went back and looked at notes we

2617
02:04:04,600 --> 02:04:07,000
Speaker 1: had people on before the draft, and you know, we

2618
02:04:07,080 --> 02:04:11,320
Speaker 1: had from the mort report on, and he was saying,

2619
02:04:11,360 --> 02:04:14,720
Speaker 1: listen to even as far back as the Manning Passing Academy,

2620
02:04:15,640 --> 02:04:18,080
Speaker 1: even Peyton Manning said, hey, there's it's not too often

2621
02:04:18,160 --> 02:04:21,920
Speaker 1: somebody comes in here to this Manning Passing Academy and goes, wow,

2622
02:04:22,000 --> 02:04:25,520
Speaker 1: that's different. Well, Josh Allen's that good. He's turning heads

2623
02:04:25,560 --> 02:04:28,760
Speaker 1: of NFL people who watch NFL quarterbacks all the time,

2624
02:04:29,080 --> 02:04:32,160
Speaker 1: and he's turning their heads. He's special. He's a special

2625
02:04:32,240 --> 02:04:37,880
Speaker 1: physical talent that his upside is as high as you

2626
02:04:37,920 --> 02:04:42,920
Speaker 1: can imagine for a quarterback. That being said, you're trying

2627
02:04:42,960 --> 02:04:45,080
Speaker 1: to win one game with a guy who's got to

2628
02:04:45,120 --> 02:04:47,080
Speaker 1: make the right decision at the right time against the

2629
02:04:47,160 --> 02:04:50,400
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens on September ninth in Baltimore on the road,

2630
02:04:50,400 --> 02:04:53,280
Speaker 1: an NFL team, And you've got two other guys, one

2631
02:04:53,320 --> 02:04:56,320
Speaker 1: of which he's got as a fifth year player who's

2632
02:04:56,360 --> 02:04:58,840
Speaker 1: played and started a number of games and played against

2633
02:04:58,880 --> 02:05:01,480
Speaker 1: really good football team. And you've got another guy who

2634
02:05:01,600 --> 02:05:04,800
Speaker 1: backed up a playoff quarterback a year ago and who

2635
02:05:04,880 --> 02:05:07,840
Speaker 1: started a couple of games and the experience that gives them.

2636
02:05:08,920 --> 02:05:11,960
Speaker 1: That's the call you have to make. And you know,

2637
02:05:12,040 --> 02:05:14,880
Speaker 1: we've got one more preseason goal, two more preseason games

2638
02:05:14,920 --> 02:05:16,920
Speaker 1: to evaluate before you have to make that call. But

2639
02:05:17,040 --> 02:05:19,840
Speaker 1: that's what this is all pointed towards. You can't deny.

2640
02:05:19,920 --> 02:05:22,920
Speaker 1: You can't deny he's the top end. Physicality of him

2641
02:05:23,040 --> 02:05:26,480
Speaker 1: is the object. Here is Don in West Seneca go

2642
02:05:26,520 --> 02:05:31,480
Speaker 1: ahead down. You're on the air, Yeah, Mark, just one question.

2643
02:05:32,480 --> 02:05:35,480
Speaker 1: You sit there and talk about Allen and everything like this.

2644
02:05:35,760 --> 02:05:39,640
Speaker 1: But last year they wanted Peterman to come in over Tyrode,

2645
02:05:39,920 --> 02:05:42,120
Speaker 1: so he did. We threw him in. He had done

2646
02:05:42,200 --> 02:05:46,760
Speaker 1: big interception game after that. Luckily the kid wasn't scarred

2647
02:05:46,880 --> 02:05:50,240
Speaker 1: for life, but the fans were. Nobody wanted him back.

2648
02:05:50,440 --> 02:05:53,520
Speaker 1: It's a Peterman No, that's all. He throws his interceptions.

2649
02:05:53,560 --> 02:05:56,480
Speaker 1: He's no good. So now you want to do the

2650
02:05:56,600 --> 02:05:59,760
Speaker 1: same thing with Allen And if you scare him, you're

2651
02:06:00,040 --> 02:06:03,280
Speaker 1: not sure he's gonna be okay like Peterman was. I

2652
02:06:03,360 --> 02:06:05,160
Speaker 1: think you'd be okay. That's good. I don't think you

2653
02:06:05,280 --> 02:06:08,240
Speaker 1: make I really don't think you make important decisions like

2654
02:06:08,360 --> 02:06:10,480
Speaker 1: this if you're a coach based on what the fans

2655
02:06:10,600 --> 02:06:12,320
Speaker 1: might think or how the fans might react. I really

2656
02:06:12,360 --> 02:06:14,600
Speaker 1: don't think that's a factor at all. No, But I

2657
02:06:14,960 --> 02:06:17,240
Speaker 1: do think don you're right. I mean, you're articulated. What

2658
02:06:17,360 --> 02:06:21,640
Speaker 1: the risk is, You're you're you're you're digging yourself a

2659
02:06:21,720 --> 02:06:24,640
Speaker 1: hole right out of the gate. If you throw Josh

2660
02:06:24,720 --> 02:06:28,680
Speaker 1: Allen in on opening day and he's not ready, how

2661
02:06:28,800 --> 02:06:30,560
Speaker 1: bad could it be? Well, we've seen how bad it

2662
02:06:30,640 --> 02:06:33,520
Speaker 1: can be. I don't think it would be that bad

2663
02:06:34,320 --> 02:06:36,280
Speaker 1: on opening day if you throw Josh Allen, even if

2664
02:06:36,320 --> 02:06:38,440
Speaker 1: they don't win the game, if if they if they lose,

2665
02:06:38,480 --> 02:06:43,240
Speaker 1: even if they lose big, it's hard to see Josh Allen.

2666
02:06:43,280 --> 02:06:45,000
Speaker 1: It was hard to see Nathan Peterman as well. I

2667
02:06:45,080 --> 02:06:46,920
Speaker 1: get it. You can't tell the future, but it's hard

2668
02:06:46,960 --> 02:06:48,920
Speaker 1: to see it. We're talking about this Sunday, so we're

2669
02:06:48,920 --> 02:06:51,040
Speaker 1: talking about we're talking about September ninth. I'm not talking

2670
02:06:51,040 --> 02:06:53,320
Speaker 1: about September nine yet. I don't know if Josh and start,

2671
02:06:53,520 --> 02:06:55,520
Speaker 1: but that's what and that's what the caller brings up.

2672
02:06:55,560 --> 02:06:57,760
Speaker 1: He said, you know, that's what you're looking at. And

2673
02:06:57,800 --> 02:07:00,160
Speaker 1: all the things that Peterman and put himself and the

2674
02:07:00,240 --> 02:07:02,760
Speaker 1: fans and the team through by having to pour outing

2675
02:07:02,840 --> 02:07:07,160
Speaker 1: is his first start, you know, I don't. Yeah, I

2676
02:07:07,440 --> 02:07:10,040
Speaker 1: think we're aways from that. I think we're awayte from that.

2677
02:07:10,640 --> 02:07:13,720
Speaker 1: Cannon buffalo, go ahead? Can you're on the here? Hey?

2678
02:07:13,880 --> 02:07:17,080
Speaker 1: How are you doing? I used to I coach this

2679
02:07:17,160 --> 02:07:20,640
Speaker 1: support for many years from college down to junior high.

2680
02:07:21,200 --> 02:07:25,120
Speaker 1: And the one thing you notice about McDermott and being

2681
02:07:25,880 --> 02:07:31,000
Speaker 1: is there is always a meticulous plan. You gotta understand

2682
02:07:31,120 --> 02:07:35,200
Speaker 1: they've seen this kid, you know, in workouts in rookie

2683
02:07:35,320 --> 02:07:40,240
Speaker 1: camp and all the way leading up to training camp.

2684
02:07:41,120 --> 02:07:48,600
Speaker 1: This is a plan that was in part probably adjusted

2685
02:07:49,200 --> 02:07:52,680
Speaker 1: three or four times as time has gone on. You

2686
02:07:52,880 --> 02:07:55,960
Speaker 1: always set your plan, and then after a practice, you

2687
02:07:56,120 --> 02:07:58,800
Speaker 1: go in and you look at your goals and you

2688
02:07:58,880 --> 02:08:01,560
Speaker 1: see what you have. Do we need to adjust them?

2689
02:08:02,680 --> 02:08:06,960
Speaker 1: I think he has progressed faster than they believe she would.

2690
02:08:08,320 --> 02:08:12,680
Speaker 1: So it's a combination. He's earned it, plus that it's

2691
02:08:12,760 --> 02:08:17,320
Speaker 1: been a plan set in stone I'll set on paper,

2692
02:08:17,720 --> 02:08:20,560
Speaker 1: you know, three or four months ago. Maybe I'm not

2693
02:08:20,600 --> 02:08:22,840
Speaker 1: sure if the plan included him starting this game Sunday.

2694
02:08:22,880 --> 02:08:25,560
Speaker 1: But here he is one more called Dwayne, and Buffalo

2695
02:08:25,600 --> 02:08:27,760

2723
02:10:05,600 --> 02:10:09,920
Speaker 1: we get set for preseason game number three. I knew

2724
02:10:09,960 --> 02:10:12,600
Speaker 1: he had a good arm, but man, he really he

2725
02:10:12,760 --> 02:10:15,600
Speaker 1: really slays him Like there's you know, I've seen some

2726
02:10:15,720 --> 02:10:19,080
Speaker 1: really good arms up close and personal. Um, but this

2727
02:10:19,240 --> 02:10:22,080
Speaker 1: it just comes out of his hands so easy, you know.

2728
02:10:22,240 --> 02:10:24,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's like it's like watching Jaclor throw.

2730
02:10:29,520 --> 02:10:32,760
Speaker 1: you're saying here was going good until the JA Thanks

2731

2732
02:10:38,280 --> 02:10:40,760
Speaker 1: He calls himself that Tremiaine Edmunds joined the Sign the

2733
02:10:40,800 --> 02:10:43,320
Speaker 1: Show today after practice, says he's feeling a little bit

2734
02:10:43,320 --> 02:10:45,320
Speaker 1: more comfortable, a little bit more confident now as he

2735
02:10:45,360 --> 02:10:49,640
Speaker 1: works his way through his first NFL preseason. You know,

2736
02:10:49,720 --> 02:10:51,480
Speaker 1: that's that's the number one thing a lot of players

2737
02:10:51,520 --> 02:10:52,920
Speaker 1: to say, you know, when they when they're all there,

2738
02:10:53,000 --> 02:10:55,640
Speaker 1: plan without thinking. It allows you to play fast, allow

2739
02:10:55,680 --> 02:10:58,040
Speaker 1: you to make more plays, and uh, you know when

2740
02:10:58,080 --> 02:11:00,280
Speaker 1: that time comes when I get there, you know, I'm

2741
02:11:00,280 --> 02:11:02,960
Speaker 1: feeling more and more better every day, more confident, and

2742
02:11:03,080 --> 02:11:04,920
Speaker 1: you know, things that I do out there, you know,

2743
02:11:05,040 --> 02:11:08,000
Speaker 1: feel more comfortable in my physician, so you know, just

2744
02:11:08,080 --> 02:11:09,880
Speaker 1: getting that downpack, so I can just go out that

2745
02:11:09,960 --> 02:11:12,000
Speaker 1: play fast, letting loose, and you know, just make more

2746
02:11:12,080 --> 02:11:14,800
Speaker 1: play tree Maine Edmunds talking about letting and loose. I

2747
02:11:14,840 --> 02:11:16,560
Speaker 1: think we're all looking for that from him, right See

2748
02:11:16,560 --> 02:11:19,320
Speaker 1: if there was a narrative coming out of the Cleveland

2749
02:11:19,360 --> 02:11:21,240
Speaker 1: game that he somehow did not play well. And I

2750
02:11:21,320 --> 02:11:23,640
Speaker 1: watched the game, I did the game broadcast game, watch

2751
02:11:23,720 --> 02:11:27,000
Speaker 1: it again this past Sunday on video, and you pointed out,

2752
02:11:27,080 --> 02:11:29,160
Speaker 1: I thought Tremaine, like the rest of the defense, got

2753
02:11:29,240 --> 02:11:32,240
Speaker 1: caught a couple of times in bad spots against the Browns,

2754
02:11:32,280 --> 02:11:34,680
Speaker 1: But as the game went on, and as Tremaine went on,

2755
02:11:34,880 --> 02:11:37,880
Speaker 1: he played better, I thought. Against Cleveland, Yeah, they shorted

2756
02:11:38,000 --> 02:11:41,120
Speaker 1: up quick. The Browns put together one really nice drive

2757
02:11:41,240 --> 02:11:44,400
Speaker 1: when Tyrod Taylor was in at quarterback for them. They

2758
02:11:44,560 --> 02:11:47,040
Speaker 1: ran the ball really well, ran off some really nice runs.

2759
02:11:47,760 --> 02:11:52,560
Speaker 1: But we were talking Tremaine up on the television broadcast,

2760
02:11:52,680 --> 02:11:55,560
Speaker 1: we thought, I thought he played really well, covered sideline

2761
02:11:55,560 --> 02:11:57,600
Speaker 1: to sideline, got out on the whip, screams really fast,

2762
02:11:57,680 --> 02:11:59,080
Speaker 1: and stepped up in the run game a couple of

2763
02:11:59,080 --> 02:12:01,640
Speaker 1: times too. So yeah, while they did give up one

2764
02:12:01,720 --> 02:12:03,840
Speaker 1: good drive, I thought they short it up pretty quickly.

2765
02:12:03,880 --> 02:12:05,600
Speaker 1: And I think that's that both well for him. When

2766
02:12:05,640 --> 02:12:09,240
Speaker 1: they do things are going poorly, they make some adjustments

2767
02:12:09,280 --> 02:12:11,360
Speaker 1: and get it fixed pretty quick. I think, and Tremaine

2768
02:12:11,400 --> 02:12:13,120
Speaker 1: said it, you know, feeling more comfortable than he can

2769
02:12:13,200 --> 02:12:15,160
Speaker 1: just let it, let it rip. And I think we're

2770
02:12:15,200 --> 02:12:18,080
Speaker 1: approaching that part that point with him, don't you. I

2771
02:12:18,160 --> 02:12:19,920
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a switch flip where he just

2772
02:12:20,280 --> 02:12:23,200
Speaker 1: flies around the field starts making every play almost I

2773
02:12:23,320 --> 02:12:25,440
Speaker 1: really do. I think he's gonna be that kind of player.

2774
02:12:25,480 --> 02:12:27,680
Speaker 1: He's certainly got the ability, and I'm not saying he's

2775
02:12:27,720 --> 02:12:29,880
Speaker 1: going to be Superman out there, but I think he's

2776
02:12:29,920 --> 02:12:31,920
Speaker 1: a quality middle linebacker and he's going to be there

2777
02:12:31,960 --> 02:12:34,840
Speaker 1: for a decade or more. Tomorrow shows turn it out

2778
02:12:34,880 --> 02:12:36,960
Speaker 1: to be pretty good. We're gonna take an early look

2779
02:12:37,000 --> 02:12:40,120
Speaker 1: at the Bengals with Dave Lapham, long time NFL offensive

2780
02:12:40,160 --> 02:12:42,960
Speaker 1: lineman and long time color commentator on the Cincinnati Bengals

2781
02:12:43,040 --> 02:12:46,120
Speaker 1: Radio network, and builds draft pick Terren Johnson. But we've

2782
02:12:46,160 --> 02:12:47,880
Speaker 1: had on the show before back around the draft. You're

2783
02:12:47,880 --> 02:12:50,080
Speaker 1: going to join us as he I think is kind

2784
02:12:50,120 --> 02:12:53,520
Speaker 1: of becoming the answer at Nickel Corner, don't you. I

2785
02:12:53,640 --> 02:12:56,920
Speaker 1: think Darren Johnson is I mean, still a competition, Yeah,

2786
02:12:56,960 --> 02:12:58,640
Speaker 1: but I think he's becoming the guy. He's the answer.

2787
02:12:59,000 --> 02:13:01,040
Speaker 1: He's I think it took him a while, but the

2788
02:13:01,080 --> 02:13:02,760
Speaker 1: adjustments are starting to be made and he's starting to

2789
02:13:02,760 --> 02:13:04,960
Speaker 1: feel comfortable and finding his way. I think I think

2790
02:13:05,040 --> 02:13:06,520
Speaker 1: more of it had to do with it his play

2791
02:13:07,080 --> 02:13:08,880
Speaker 1: had to do with starting to feel more comfortable as

2792
02:13:08,880 --> 02:13:11,000
Speaker 1: a buffalo bill and a pro athlete. And I think

2793
02:13:11,040 --> 02:13:12,920
Speaker 1: that's now he's starting to play like what they thought

2794
02:13:12,920 --> 02:13:14,720
Speaker 1: he could play. Yeah. I think the adjustment took a

2795
02:13:14,720 --> 02:13:16,400
Speaker 1: little longer for him, but he's made it. I saw

2796
02:13:16,440 --> 02:13:19,560
Speaker 1: a great item written on the website The Ringer by

2797
02:13:19,680 --> 02:13:22,080
Speaker 1: Danny Kelly. He talks about the importance of Nickel corners,

2798
02:13:22,120 --> 02:13:24,680
Speaker 1: how important they are. They essentially our starters now in

2799
02:13:24,720 --> 02:13:26,920
Speaker 1: the NFL. We'll talk with Arren Johnson about that. We
