1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: Oh, Steve Taskers down to down time. It's a big

2
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: day here and One Bill's Drive. Welcome to One Bill's Live,

3
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 1: John Murphy, Steve Tasker. Beautiful day in Orchard Park, sixty

4
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: two degrees, sunny skies, light breeze, action on the inside

5
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: New Era Field, the home of the Bills, where they

6
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: continue to get ready to insolve the new turf action

7
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: on the practice field too. It is day one of

8
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: the mandatory mini camp. Good afternoon, everybody. I'm John Murphy.

9
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: This is Steve Tasker. Welcome to the show. Um practice

10
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: won't look what's differing, but it feels different today, Steve. Yeah,

11
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: it's a big day. I remember feeling this way in

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: when I back in the day when I played in

13
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: the mini camp was always for the veterans highlight of

14
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: the offseason. You got a chance to get on the

15
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: field actually do some stuff. Back then, every once in

16
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: a while have felt like we were in pad for

17
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: a minute. But I kind of think, no, that's not true.

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: Well it's not true. But you do go out there,

19
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: you start running through some things, you start installing some things.

20
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: It's it was fun and this is it's an important

21
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: day for the team in the off season. Now they

22
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: have been on the field in practice, similar practice scripts

23
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: that they will run today for a couple of weeks

24
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: now almost a month in organized team activity. But these

25
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: are the last three days of the spring practices, the

26
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: last three days of workouts before training camp at the

27
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: end of July, So there is some import to it,

28
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: and there's definitely reason to pay attention. And for the

29
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, a lot of those reasons have to do

30
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: with who is not on the field. Unfortunately, we've got

31
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: our man, Chris Brown on the field on the sidelines anyway.

32
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: Bills Insider from Buffalo Bills dot Com. Chris Brown joining

33
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: us from the practice field where they are just underway

34
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: in the last fifteen minutes or so. Chris, nice day

35
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: out there, see when I were just out there watching

36
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: the early sessions. Nice day out there. Fields kind of

37
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: like football weather, doesn't it. Yeah, weather's good, so that'll

38
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: be good. And you know, for the lineman, it's probably

39
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: a good day because it's only in the sixties here,

40
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: so they won't be melting out here just yet. Save

41
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: that for training camp hopefully when when summer shows up

42
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: for good. Hey, Chris, can you give us kind of

43
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: the rules of mini camp as far as contact equipment,

44
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: how much they can do that sort of thing. What

45
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: do you know about all that? Yeah, I mean pads

46
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: aren't on, we're still helmets and you know, shorts for

47
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: the most part. Uh, it's pretty much Phase three rules.

48
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: So there really isn't any full blown contact this time

49
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: of the year in the offseason anymore after the new CBA.

50
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: So what you have is a lot of what we

51
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: saw the first three weeks of OTAs for the most part. Yeah,

52
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: when he mentioned it, it's a great, great day weatherwise

53
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: for the offensive lineman. And I guess, first thing out

54
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: of box, give me the lineup, what's left tackle to

55
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: right tackle. Who's out there? Yeah, it's it's a mash unit, guys.

56
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: Coach McDermot kind of ran down the injury list in

57
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: terms of who was not participating, and there are some

58
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: new non participants as far as offensive linemen. Go I

59
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: Butcker is a new idea, as is John Feliciano. Quentin

60
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: Spain was coming off that thumb surgery, so he hasn't

61
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: been doing anything for a little while. And Jeremiah Searles

62
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: as a new ad. We actually saw him get hurt

63
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: in practice. In OTA's last Tuesday, early on in the

64
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: practice session, he stepped out and never returned. And so

65
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: what that has done is created a major shuffle in

66
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: terms of the starting unit. The starting unit as it

67
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: appeared here early on in practice anyway, we'll see if

68
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: it's the same. Left to right is Dion Dawkins, Vlad Ducas,

69
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: Mitch Morse, who is now a full participant, why a

70
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: telerant right guard, and then the rookie Cody Ford at

71
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: right tackle. So you say, well, where is Spencer Long

72
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: in this equation? How come he isn't the starting left guard?

73
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: But the reason why is they don't have another center

74
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: to line up, so they need him to be the

75
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: second unit center right now since he's played that position

76
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: because all the other centers are not available like Butcher

77
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: has played center the last week or so, not available

78
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: out injured, Feliciano, same deal with him. Searles, as I mentioned,

79
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: got injured last week. And then Russell Bodine is still

80
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: in a red non contact jersey's so presumably he is

81
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: not going to take part in any of the team

82
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: segments of practice. So by default they have to put

83
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: along with the second unit in the pivot So if

84
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: you're keeping scored, Chris uh, let's some numbers. Thirteen offensive

85
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: linement on the roster. By my account, there are one, two, three,

86
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: six of them either limited or not participating today, which

87
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: leaves seven, which is not a lot of offensive linement

88
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: to work with, right, But on the good side and

89
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: on the positive side, Mitch Morris getting his first unlimited

90
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: action today. That has to be viewed as a positive

91
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: for the Bill's offensive line, right right. I mean there's

92
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: still a negative, negative territory in terms of who's in

93
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: and who's out. But yes, the guy that's widely projected

94
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: to be the starting center is full go today, and

95
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: that's important just for you know, the connection that he

96
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen have to make on the field. It

97
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: goes down to points as fine as where Mitch morrise,

98
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: like the hands of the quarterback. And I want to

99
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: get too personal here, but you know he mentioned that,

100
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: Josh did. He said, Look, it's important for me to

101
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: know where Mitch wants my hands for the snap, you know,

102
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: so our exchanges sound every single play that we're out there.

103
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: There's things like the line calls and how much is

104
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: Mitch gonna take on his plate with some of that,

105
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: and how much is Josh gonna take on his plate

106
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: in terms of the protection calls, you know, or a

107
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: certain down and distance is going to be up to

108
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: Mitch to handle because maybe third down, which can be

109
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: a tricky down where a lot of exotic looks come

110
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: at the quarterback, maybe Mitch takes more of the protection

111
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: calls there, so Josh can kind of diagnose the coverage more.

112
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: So those are the give and take things that you

113
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: want to get ironed out here in the spring, and

114
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: with Mitch being a full participant, they're able to do

115
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: that more in a live setting rather than reviewing it

116
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: on a practice take. So you've got four You've got

117
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: four guards, three guards that are out but Kerr Feliciano Spain,

118
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: and then you've got center Jeremiah Searles, who is out.

119
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: And then you've got guys that are limited, so they're

120
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: not all of them are completely out, like Tie and

121
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: Seki's gonna take some work, Russ Bodine is going to

122
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: take some work, and Garrett McGinn is gonna take some work.

123
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the crazy part of this. Some of

124
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: these guys are kind of practicing, some of them are

125
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: completely out of practice, and they're all kind of at

126
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: the same position. They're an interior except for and Inseci

127
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: is gonna play, you know, get some limits. But these

128
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: are all guards and centers that are nicked up. And

129
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: I should tell you, Steve, I saw Insecki out here.

130
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: He didn't have a helmet on, so I don't know

131
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: if he's gonna do anything at all. He was originally

132
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: portrayed as a limited participant, but I don't know if

133
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna do much anything today. So that's another tackle

134
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: out of the equation. And then McGinn, the undrafted rookie

135
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: that you mentioned in red non contact jersey. So they

136
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: are the cupboard is almost bare. For the offensive line,

137
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,239
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to get really creative with the lineups

138
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: that they roll out there. And I don't think they're

139
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: gonna be able to put more than two offensive lines

140
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: together for the team segments of actice today. Chris, let

141
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: me get your let me bounce this off you. Though

142
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: the sky is not falling. It is June eleven, it's

143
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: plenty of time to get a healthy group together. But

144
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: if nothing else, these injuries, these six injuries today and

145
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: the injuries that have preceded at the last few weeks.

146
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: They have to throw off the timetable that coach McDermott

147
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: and Bobby Johnson have had in mind for getting to

148
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: look at these people, right. I mean, I think you

149
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: can almost Steve and I were talking listening to coach

150
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: mcdermot's morning news conference that you can almost detect sort

151
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: of a kind of an edgy unhappiness about the injuries

152
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: that he's have to deal with he has to deal

153
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,679
Speaker 1: with right now. Again, does an impact the season? Probably

154
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: too early to say, right, I think the biggest concern

155
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: here is not so much getting a handle on the

156
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: individual skills and abilities of these linemen on a player

157
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: by player basis. I think just by reviewing a lot

158
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: of their film from previous years in the league, they

159
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: can get a pretty good handle on that. Obviously, seeing

160
00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: them live is still different. But we don't even have

161
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: the pads on yet, and I think that's when final

162
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: evaluations of just what this guy can do for us

163
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: will be made. I think the biggest concern here right now,

164
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: as far as coach McDermott and his staff are concerned,

165
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: is the blend, and you need that to happen on

166
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: the offensive line more than anywhere else on the field

167
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,679
Speaker 1: offense or defense, or we're special teams for that matter.

168
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: So the blend, I think is the concern about, you know,

169
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: fitting all the pieces together, getting them working as a

170
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: well oiled machine early on in the season. And here's

171
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: the bottom line, guys, there is a very good chance

172
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: if you look up and down this roster that when

173
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: they get down to fifty three, that up to fifty

174
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: percent of this roster will be new to this team.

175
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: And that I think is the crux of the concern

176
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: here when you have a number of players who are

177
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: not in the mix on a daily basis, you know

178
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: here at practice in this spring. And as you said, Murph,

179
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: it is only June eleventh, but you know we're quickly

180
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: coming up on training camp, which sits just about six

181
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: weeks away, and I think they want to be firm

182
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: in their mind about what direction at least they want

183
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: ahead at the outset of training camp. It's hard to

184
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: tell now, and I don't know that the coaches would

185
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: tell us anyway as to how much that has been

186
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: compromised by some of these guys coming in and out

187
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: of the lineup due to injury. Well, we've talked about

188
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: what's different about this and it's not much. I mean,

189
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: they're in helmets and shorts and not even not even

190
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: shells like they have been for the past six weeks.

191
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: But one thing I noticed when we came out there today,

192
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: they were doing some situational football with live cadence, live

193
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: checks that the line is scrimmaged by the defense, live

194
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: checks by the offense very quickly before practice started. I

195
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: think that's the next step in this evolution. Are you

196
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: gonna are you gonna notice if you do get a

197
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: chance that may be the next step in this whole

198
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: process for this offense and defense, is that do live

199
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: things with the verbiage, you know, making checks, making calls,

200
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: forget about running through the plays, just doing stuff pre

201
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: snap that gives them a feel for a real game. Yeah,

202
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: I mean, coach always does a segment at the beginning

203
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: of practice. He even does this in the regular season

204
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: where he does a live situation and the situation is

205
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: different every day that they come out here for practice,

206
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: just to kind of get their brains turned on before

207
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: they even get into stretch, they will run a situational

208
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: thing and sometimes in the regular season they'll run that

209
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: after stretch too, where they'll jump into a situation, they'll

210
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: run three plays out of that situation for both the

211
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: benefit of the offense and the defense, and then they'll

212
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: break off into their individual position groups. So it's a

213
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: common practice by coach. I think it's to get everybody

214
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: mentally sharp for the day, so everybody's tuned in and

215
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: their brains are on. And they did that again this

216
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: morning as you as you reference Steve, and then there's

217
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: usually a segment later in practice where the offense will

218
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: go off and do their checks and balances in terms

219
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: of using verbiage from the offense and implementing it on

220
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: the field to make sure everybody's lined up. It's more

221
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: of a walkthrough pace in that situation, and the defense

222
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: does go off and do the same thing. We are

223
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: talking with Chris Brown Bills inside of Buffalo bills dot com,

224
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: and if you're watching on the MSG feed you can

225
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: see Bill's minicamp practice number one of three is underway

226
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: on a nice sunny, sixty two degree day in Orchard Park,

227
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: New York. Chris is there in the sidelines as we

228
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: talk with him about what's going on out there and

229
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: back to injuries for a second notable injuries at the

230
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver spot Chris with Robert Foster Zay Jones went

231
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: out last week, but Foster has been added to the

232
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: injury list a foot injury. McDermott said, is that what

233
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: we're dealing with here, right, and you know, the severity

234
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: of that has not yet been determined, Coach McDermott saying

235
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: that they're very early in the process and evaluating it.

236
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: It did happen last week in OTAs, so you know,

237
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: he's a new addition to the list. You know. On

238
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: the plus side there, Cole Beasley was taking part in

239
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: the walkthrough. We're gonna have to keep an eye on

240
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: him to see the level of participation that he can

241
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: engage in because he has done nothing coming off core

242
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: muscle surgery, the same kind of procedure that Mitch Morris had,

243
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: but he had his a couple of weeks after Mitch

244
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: Morris had his procedure, so he's a couple of weeks

245
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: behind him. So just saying him with his helmet on

246
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: and lining up in formation is certainly an encouraging signs.

247
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: So we're gonna keep an eye on him see just

248
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: how much he does today. Yeah, that's a guy who

249
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 1: potentially and maybe likely might lead the team in receptions

250
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: this year. Cole Beasley. They need him, right, I mean,

251
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna be running a lot of those routes that

252
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: are going to cater to high percentage throws, So logic

253
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: would say targeted a lot, and provided he's getting open,

254
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: you know, should make plays and that means a good

255
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: chance of being the receptions leader. You know, when we

256
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: get to the end of the season, what do you

257
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: look for from this receiver group With all of these

258
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: guys out, who's gonna be elevated to the next man up?

259
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: I mean, who's this group of guys that's getting an

260
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: opportunity because Cold easily's limited, Zay Jones is out, and

261
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: Robert Foster's out. Well, you're looking at John Brown, the

262
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: big free agent pickup. I expect him to get a

263
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: ton of work today. He missed some time last week

264
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: due to his wife being an expectant mother and they

265
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: had their baby last week, so congrats to them. But

266
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 1: he's back out here on the practice field and ready

267
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 1: to roll, and I would expect him to get a

268
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: heavy portion of the workload and then it's just rotating

269
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: other guys up. But I think people were talking about

270
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: here are players like Ray, Ray McLeod, Isaiah McKenzie. These

271
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: are the guys that have rotated up during the OTA

272
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: sessions when some of those guys a little bit further

273
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: up to the depth chart have had to sit out.

274
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Bills Insider, Buffalo Bills dot Com. He is

275
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: talking with us from the practice field where the Bills

276
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: are right in the middle of their first mini camp session.

277
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: When Steve and I are out there, see Chris, we

278
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: saw Andre Andre Roberts catching passes. Um. Yeah, Andre Roberts

279
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: catching passes the offense. I know he's generally regarded as

280
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: a special teamer, but especially with a couple of injuries

281
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: they have, now they're gonna have to get Robert some

282
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: looks anyway at wide receiver, right, yeah, And I mean

283
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: if he's on this roster, yes, he will be primarily

284
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: a return man, but he plays the wide receiver position.

285
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: And you know, if you take the time to look

286
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: at what he was able to do earlier in his

287
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: career as a younger player, he put up some decent

288
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: numbers at the wide receiver position, had some productive seasons

289
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: as a third or fourth option. So I don't think

290
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: his abilities at the receiver position should be dismissed at all.

291
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: And yeah, I anticipate he'll be getting heavy dose of

292
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: reps today on offense as well. Yeah, one of the

293
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: things we're asking today and our twitter pool Chris, is

294
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: about the defense there's gonna be. There hasn't been very

295
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: much turnover, but the turnover there has been it looks

296
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: to be pretty significant, you know, to talk about Ed

297
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: Oliver taking over for Kyle Williams and Oliver coming into

298
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: exactly the kind of position that he needs to be playing,

299
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: and also the cornerback opposite of Tredavious White loaded with

300
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: guys who were going to compete for that spot, and

301
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: the return of Matt Milano from his injury, and we're asking,

302
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: you know, what are you what are the possibilities with

303
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: this defense this year? Could they get back to and

304
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: I know last year that is statistically good year, but

305
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: how good could this team be if they start churning

306
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: out the turnovers like they did two years ago? Right? Yeah?

307
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: I actually asked coach McDermott about that at this press

308
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: conference this morning, because you know, a lot of the

309
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: comments I've been getting from the defensive players is they

310
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: want to get their numbers back up to where they

311
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: were in twenty seventeen in terms of takeaways and in

312
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: terms of their turnover differential, which I think was somewhere

313
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: between a plus seven or a plus nine if memory serves,

314
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: but they were up around thirty takeaways and that took

315
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: a step back last year. I think, you know, doing

316
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: part to some of the struggles of the pass rush

317
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: as well, at least in terms of consistency. But I

318
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: asked the question I asked coach was, while you know

319
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: you need a good pass rush to impact takeaway totals,

320
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: and you need to be aggressive on the back end

321
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: to impact takeaway totals, there's also situational football that caters

322
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: to getting more takeaways. And coach preaches situational football an

323
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: awful lot, and it's recognizing the down in the distance

324
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: and how that can impact what the offense has to

325
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: do to stay on the field, and how you as

326
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: a defense can then take advantage of that and take

327
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: advantage of a takeaway opportunity. And coach was getting into,

328
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: you know, you get the team behind the sticks, the

329
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: offense behind the sticks. Now they're in a second and long.

330
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: It's an obvious passing situation. What kinds of passes do

331
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: they like to rely on in second and long let

332
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: me anticipate that, don't buy on the don't you know,

333
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: bite on the double move and maybe jump around here

334
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: and get a takeaway. So those are the kinds of

335
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: things that I think we've seen Tredavious White and Mike

336
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: and Hyde and Jordan Poyer take advantage of. Now, can

337
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: there be some other members of that back seven that

338
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: can jump in on that as well, whether it's Levi

339
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: Wallace as a second year player, Alano who did a

340
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: very good job and was leading the league in takeaways

341
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: before he got injured last year, and then maybe get

342
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds, you know, involved on that stat sheet a

343
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: little bit more as well. Hey, Chris, one more question

344
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: for you an inspect offense for a second in the

345
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: quarterback group. And I asked this because we've got Ken

346
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: Dorsey on the show coming up after practice today, But

347
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: what's been your early take on Dorsey and Josh Allen

348
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: their working relationship there, you know, kind of their communication.

349
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: What do you see out there when you watch these

350
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: minicamp practices and OTAs between those two. Yeah, I mean

351
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: I think it's a healthy interaction. And just to kind

352
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: of paint the picture a little bit with respect to personality,

353
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey's personality is very much like that of Derek Anderson,

354
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: and it's not surprising, you know, when you dig a

355
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: little deeper to find out why those two were teammates

356
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: in Cleveland for three seasons, and Dorsey was instrumental in

357
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: helping Anderson, who was the starter at the time for

358
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 1: the Browns, and so they forged a pretty strong boy

359
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: as teammates. And then later obviously, Dorsey was Anderson's quarterbacks

360
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: coach in Carolina for a time, So they're kind of

361
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: cut from the same cloth as people, let alone players,

362
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 1: and so I think the transition going from Derek Anderson

363
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: as a as a teammate slash, you know, confidante or

364
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 1: mentor if you will, to Ken Dorsey for Josh Allen

365
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: is pretty seamless because I think they see the game

366
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: in much the same way Anderson and Dorsey that is,

367
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: and I think Dorsey takes a lot of that and

368
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: applies it to his coaching. So I think you couldn't

369
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: have asked for a better transition, you know, going from

370
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: a player mentor in Derek Anderson to a quarterbacks coach

371
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: in Ken Dorsey. One of the things, one of the

372
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: things that Brownie we noticed last year was that when

373
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: Joshanton was out there, I know it was his first year,

374
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: first couple of weeks of training camp, Brian day Ball

375
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: was in his ear constantly. Every time he dropped back,

376
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,719
Speaker 1: day Ball was on him, talking to him, coaching him up.

377
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,479
Speaker 1: Has that changed a little bit? I don't. I mean,

378
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: I don't see in the shots we're seeing from practice,

379
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: I don't see day Ball in his ear constantly and

380
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: all of that. I do see Dorsey kind of hanging

381
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: around behind him and that kind of thing. But Brian

382
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: day Ball, after one year of being all over Josh

383
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: Allen and every rep when he was taking third team reps,

384
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: now that he's taken first team reps, has that changed

385
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: a little bit? I think they've they've kind of come

386
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: a little distance from when he was a first time rookie. Yeah,

387
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it speaks more to the command

388
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: of the offense that Josh Allen has, where you know,

389
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: day Ball doesn't feel he has to be, you know,

390
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: all over him, as you mentioned, on every single play.

391
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: I think there's a certain command of the offense that

392
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: Josh has now, where Daybell can take a little bit

393
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: of a step back and maybe critique the nuances and

394
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: finer points of Josh's game, his reads, where he went

395
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: with his progression, and some of that, quite frankly, is

396
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: saved for the review of the practice tape. From what

397
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: I've been told, Brian Dable is still going to have

398
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: a very heavy residence in the meetings and be very

399
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 1: hands on there. But I think, yes, Steve, I think

400
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: your assessment is pretty accurate. On the field, there is

401
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 1: less of that hands on in his ear every single

402
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: play type thing. I think he's he's seen the growth

403
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: in Josh's game and in his handle of the offense,

404
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: which he knows intimately now, and so I think because

405
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: of that, Dable feels he can take a little bit

406
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: of a step back. In matter of fact, I've seen

407
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: Dable in the ear of the receivers a little bit

408
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,959
Speaker 1: more than I have seen him in the ear of

409
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks through the course of OTAs to this point.

410
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: It makes some sense here, Yeah, And you know what

411
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: makes sense to me, Chris and I bounce this off

412
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: you to have Dorsey kind of focus on the mechanics

413
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: have thrown the football, especially this time of year. I

414
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: read an interview he did recently. He was quoted as saying,

415
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: I don't want to lose sight of the fact. This

416
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: is Dorsey talking that we have to keep on, you know,

417
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: schooling the mechanics for Josh and all the quarterbacks, and

418
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: it can't just you know, Dorsey's position was sometimes, especially

419
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: when you get into the season, you're so focused on

420
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,199
Speaker 1: schematics and what are we doing against the Giants, what

421
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: are we doing against the Jets, that the mechanics fall off.

422
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: And I think you got a guy perfectly positioned now

423
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: former NFL and great college quarterback, former NFL quarterback coach,

424
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: a guy in Dorsey perfectly positioned to pay attention to

425
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's mechanics and make sure that they're brushing them

426
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: up on a regular basis, right, And Dorsey is a

427
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: guy that sweats the details. So that's the right guy

428
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: to have, you know, when you're talking about footwork, arm angle,

429
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: release point, all of those things. So yeah, and he'll

430
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: mind those p's and ques for Josh, you know, and

431
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: for Matt Barkley and for Tyree Jackson. So yeah, I mean,

432
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: I think it's a guy that has been there and

433
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 1: done that and knows that certain things in your personal

434
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: game can wane when the focus gets too heavy on

435
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: the schematics or the game plan for that opponent that

436
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: given weeks. So yeah, hopefully he can kind of be

437
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 1: vigilant in keeping them sharp with their technique as well.

438
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: Brand We've spoken a lot about this both of the

439
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: off the camera and off the air as well, but

440
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: this seat, this preseason is vastly different than a year

441
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: ago for Josh Allen. He's taken almost all the reps.

442
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: Every guy out there, from Matt Barkley and Tyree Jackson

443
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: all the way up to through Ken Dorsey and Brian Dable.

444
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: Everybody's focused on getting him ready to play. And that's

445
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: kind of how big a difference is. You know, how

446
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: different is training camp gonna look with that atmosphere in

447
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: place rather than the one we had last year with

448
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: a three headed, three person quarterback competition. Yeah, I mean,

449
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: when the focal point of your offense is singularly focused,

450
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: you're only naturally gonna be better from an offensive perspective,

451
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 1: I believe. Yeah, the three headed monster that was last

452
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 1: year compromised moving the offense forward. You don't have that

453
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: issue anymore because you have an entrenched starter and everybody

454
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: can focus on getting him as ready as possible for

455
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: the season. And when you do that, knowing he's your

456
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: trigger man, your offense is going to benefit. I mean,

457
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: it's just it's logical thinking, right guys. Yeah, Hey, I

458
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: have one more question for you about quarterbacks, Chris, and

459
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: that's about Tyree Jackson. And we don't see him taking

460
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: stamps right now. And I imagine the snamps will be

461
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: precious for Tyree Jackson throughout this three day mini camp, right,

462
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he is not the priority. As much as

463
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: Buffalo folks are interested in watching his development, he is not.

464
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: And the deeper we get, closer we get to the season,

465
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: he cannot be the priority for the Bill's quarterback coaches

466
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: or anybody on that side of the ball. Yeah, I mean,

467
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 1: as much as they want to try to develop him,

468
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: it's not priority number one right now, as we just

469
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: stated with the previous question and answer. So he's gonna

470
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: have to get his reps where he can get him.

471
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: But I don't know that they're going to be plentiful

472
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 1: in supply, even here in the mini camp setting. He

473
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 1: may have to do some extra work after practice on

474
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: his own work with one of the offensive assistants, which

475
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: was the case for Josh a lot last year at

476
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: this time, he would you know, pullche Tierney over one

477
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: of the offensive assistants, bring Chad hall Over, who was

478
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: an offensive assistant at the time now receivers coach, and

479
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 1: they'd work for an extra half hour after practice was over.

480
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: Tyree Jackson may have to do the same thing if

481
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: he wants to get the work in that he feels

482
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 1: as necessary to push his game forward, because especially with

483
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: the line situation that we talked about, guys, there may

484
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: not even be a third unit running on offense today,

485
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: so his snaps may be few and far between here

486
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: in the mini camp setting, knowing that situation, so he

487
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: may have to do it after practice. Yeah, Tyree Jackson

488
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: becomes an interesting story because he goes from being the

489
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: centerpiece of an entire program a UB as the you know,

490
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: the best player on that team, the most focal point,

491
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: the focal point of the offense taking every rep, to

492
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: a guy here with the Bills who is really relegated

493
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: to just standing around watching and learning, and it's an

494
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: afterthought and there's almost no scenario where he he gets

495
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: a chance to play any significant time or even take

496
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: significant snaps in practice. This has got to be an

497
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: enormous adjustment for him, right But I think he's learning

498
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: so much even just standing there watching and taking those

499
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: mental reps, reviewing things on practice tape. I mean, it's

500
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 1: all coming at him pretty fast. He's done a good

501
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: job with it, though, at least that's Those are the

502
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: comments that I'm getting from people on the offensive side

503
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 1: of the ball that I've talked to through the course

504
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: of the spring, that he's picking it up pretty well

505
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 1: despite the limited reps. And so I think it's just

506
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: a situation where everybody knows what he is. He's a

507
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: developmental project right now, and anytime they can give him

508
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: to advance his game, they will do that. But again,

509
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: he's not the priority. The priority is getting the first

510
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 1: unit ready for the regular season. Chief in that equation,

511
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 1: as we mentioned, is Josh Allen. So any advancement of

512
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: his game that he can do on his own with

513
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: some offensive assistance on his own time, I'm all the

514
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: better for it. But he's gonna have to do a

515
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: large part of that on his own and then seek

516
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: counsel when he has questions and hopefully, you know, get

517
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: the answers that he needs to continue forward even though

518
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: the physical reps may not be present for him. Chris,

519
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: we've had a chance of getting a good long chat

520
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: with you today before we let you go. Do you

521
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: have any questions for Steve and rye uh No, no

522
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: questions you guys, Sorry, no worries. I just stole that

523

525
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 1: Bills dot Com. I thought maybe something would have come up,

526
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: something about Steve. How you feeling today? Ask this right? Yeah,

527
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,919

528
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes in with Chris and they blow

529
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 1: the horn and they shut down practice for video, and

530
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: today that didn't happen. Chris will be with us tomorrow

531

533
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: about a tendence. We know about injuries. We'll get to

534
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: that in a moment. Let's tell you about our little

535

Speaker 1: Chris was just with us. Coming up at one o'clock.

537
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: Michael Robinson, former NFL fullback right Seattle. He's an NFL

538
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: network analysts who said last week the Bills will win

539
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: the AFC East this year. We'll talk with Michael Robinson

540
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: about that at one o'clock. Around one thirty today, we

541
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: will carry the Jeff Skinner news conference the Savers forward

542
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: to sign the what eight year contract over the weekend,

543
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: Jeff Skinner meeting the media around one thirty. We'll pick

544
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: that up at some point. We have Ken Dorsey scheduled

Speaker 1: to be with us on the show right around that

546
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: time too, so we'll kind of balance those two back

547
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: and forth. And that's what the show looks like. Guest wise, today,

548
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: what do you think? Yeah, this is good show. We've

549
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: got some stuff going on, and every this building is

550
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 1: like a car man when when the guys are in practicing,

551
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: everything shifts gears. Yeah, and then when they're not here,

552
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: it's like parked. And that'll be next week. That'll be

553
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 1: next week. It'll be silent here and we'll go into

554
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 1: radio silence almost. It's yeah, it is we're here by ourselves. Yeah,

555
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: but it's fun today. It is fun. You can see

556
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: some energy in the air here today, first day of

557
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: the three day Manageory minicamp at they're outside as you

558
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: just saw and heard on the practice field, and there

559
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: are a number of non participants today. Let's give you

560
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: the list. A couple of wide receivers notable non participants today,

561
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 1: Wide receiver Robert Foster with a foot injury. Wide receivers

562
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: A Jones I got banged up last week. A couple

563
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: of tight ends non participants today, Jason Kroum who had

564
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: what a hamstring and two weeks ago now and Tyler

565
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: Croft who had the injury a couple of weeks ago.

566
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 1: Offensive lineman, this word gets serious. Interior offensive lineman guard

567
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: Ike Butcker, Guard John Feliciano, guard Quentin Spain, and offensive

568
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: lineman Jeremiah Searles non participants today. Limited practice today. Let's

569
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: start with the old lineman there, ty and Secki limited today,

570
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: Russell Bodine limited today, Cole Beasley wide receiver and limited today,

571
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: cornerback tarn Johnson limited, safety Raphael Bush limited today, and

572
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: another offensive lineman, guard Garrett McGinn limited today. So of

573
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: the Bill's thirteen offensive line in seven of them are

574
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: either out or limited today, leaving them six going full

575
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: speed and that you know, again we're not pulling the

576
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: panic buttons here, pushing panic buttons or pulling the alarm.

577
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: But it does, if nothing else, I think it sets

578
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: back the schedule for who you'd like to watch during

579
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: the spring practices. This practice time is limited, and the

580
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: coaches view it as precious and it doesn't matter when

581
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: it comes to the lineup and playing the Jets and

582
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: the Giants, probably not, but it matters in terms of

583
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: what your time people might have been for taking a

584
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: look at some of these people. And one of the

585
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: things about it too, that you got to know and

586
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: I know some people are out there, you know what's

587
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: in a while you and I do it, We're like, oh, leave,

588
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: what's going they're all. The thing about this is and

589
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: this new shiny weight room that is next to us

590
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: that we've been talking about so much this offseason that

591
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: some of the free agents have come in and just

592
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: been really wowed by. It's really eye popping building, and

593
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: the facility and the staff over there is are awesome.

594
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: One of the things about this, when you get a

595
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: lot of soft tissue injuries like this, it really is

596
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: you do feel like as an organization is like, hey,

597
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: it's something we're doing. It's something like these guys this,

598
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: we're not keeping track of their load. You know, they

599
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: running load, We're not keeping track of they're stretching what

600
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: they're doing. Something's getting away from us and slipping through

601
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: the cracks. Because it's happening at all these positions. Now,

602
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: some of it like foot injuries and stuff like that

603
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: or off that scale, but all the muscle pulls and

604
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: the tweaks and that kind of thing, the ab muscles,

605
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: I think that they are all over this trying to

606
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: figure out what is different about the guys who got

607
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: injured with these soft tissue stuff than the guys who

608
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: just got bumped or bruised from bumping into something or

609
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: doing something like that. They really attack that, and with

610
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: all the data they've got, they're probably looking for a

611
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: common denominator for all these guys so they can eliminate it,

612
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: so they can get over it. And believe me, they're

613
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: they're attacking all of this like that, And it's kind

614
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: of interesting to think about. You got a crew of

615
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: people in off that practice field, they're in this behind

616
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: this doors and the medical end of it going they're

617
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: pouring over the stat sheet going, Okay, what happened to

618
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: all these guys that we all got hurt? And just

619
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: do and some stuff in shorts and helmets. You know,

620
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: why are these guys getting hurt like this? And they're

621
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: gonna probably come up with an answer for it and

622
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: fix it. That's the that's their job, and they gotta

623
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: so this isn't going unnoticed, like I gee, I see

624
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: when something seems like it's like it's uh, you know,

625
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: out of the ordinary, there's a reason for it, and

626
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: they're going to find out what it is because I

627
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: think they probably have people in there they're blaming themselves,

628
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: like what are we doing? Pick themselves up? Yeah, they do.

629
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: They beat themselves up over It's kind of interesting to

630
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: think about. But you and I have been sitting there

631
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: for the last couple of weeks with all these guys

632
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: going down like this, going wow, what's going on? And

633
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: we're not the only ones asking that question. Hey, we

634
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: will hear what Sean McDermott plans to do to get

635
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: around some of these injuries when we come back. We

636
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: will also hear McDermott's plan for these three days. The

637
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: final three days of the spring workouts, three day mandatory

638
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: mini camp going on right now, and we'll set you

639
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: up with a Twitter pole. We're gonna talk about the

640
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo defense on our Twitter poll today. All of that

641
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: when we return, come on back One Bill's Live, presented

642
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: by Kalida Health from One Bill's Drive. This is Buffalo

643
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. Welcome back, John Murphy, Steve Task are happy

644
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: to be here with you on this Tuesday afternoon. We

645
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: just took a look outside. Beautiful day practice going on.

646
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: We'll have some uh, we'll hear from some players after

647
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: practice a day. We'll hear from Ken Dorsey, those new

648
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coach. First time. I haven't met him. Have you

649
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: met him? I even talked him at all? It seems

650
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: like I've met him in my distant past cross pass

651
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: with all the stuff that I've done over the years.

652
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: But no, I'm gonna have to say no, because if

653
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't count, if you can't remember it right right,

654
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: it seems like, yes, Ken Dorsey is somebody who I've met.

655
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: I could not possibly tell you if winning like what

656
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: he was a Carolina or something weird and I was

657
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: covering them CBS. I don't feel guilty about it. I

658
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: would like to say yes because his name is so

659
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: familiar to me and I've crossed passed with Carolina. So no,

660
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: I'm just clear. That is much more information than I

661
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: anticipated I thought would one second yes or no. But also,

662
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: Michael Robinson, the NFL Network's going to join us today

663
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: about one o'clock talk about it. He has some pretty

664
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: positive feelings about the Buffalo Billings. He might be a

665
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: voice in the wilderness. He might be, or he might

666
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: be totally wrong. He might be or he might be

667
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: the light on the horizon for Bills and he picking

668
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: the Bills to win the division this year. Yeah. Now, yeah,

669
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: we're talking him about that, somebody we automatically like right away.

670
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: I want to find out what he's thinking, yeah, or

671
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: what he's smoking. Hey, I think I'm not far behind him.

672
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be really good. Okay, I keep people,

673
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: So I don't want to get in this right now.

674
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: We have time for this. But you know, you go

675
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: everywhere in Buffalo when you're at and about people, how

676
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: are they gonna be? You know, they always asking you

677
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: because we talk about him all the time we're in

678
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: here and we're in the building, right Yeah, So I

679
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: get asked that all the time. What's your answer, nine

680
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: or ten wins? What's yours? I say, I think they're

681
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: gonna be really good. I don't say numbers. I say

682
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be really good. You don't want

683
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: to be painted into a corner with a certain I

684
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: think really good. Like what thirteen wins? I don't know.

685
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, because I you know, I mean Murphy.

686
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 1: I don't know either. I'm saying. I'm saying they're gonna

687
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 1: be really good. I keep going back last year. They're

688
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: two plays away from two more wins, and with a

689
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback who didn't know anything, they were two plays

690
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: a bounce of the ball both ways that both win

691
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 1: against them. And this is You've got a team that's

692
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: like way different. So I'm yeah, I think they're gonna

693
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: be really good. Okay, plenty of time to discuss that

694
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: as we work our way into training camp in the

695
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: regular season. We want to work our way in today's

696
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 1: Twitter Poland if they're gonna be good, you would think

697
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to play good defense. Again. They were

698
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: the second ranked defense in the National Football League at

699
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: the end of last year. The personal hasn't changed much,

700
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 1: but we wan don't know from you this our Twitter

701
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: poll today, which part of the Bill's defense we'll have

702
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: the biggest impact in twenty nineteen? And why not just

703
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: which unit on defense? But why? What do you think?

704
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: You can call it up? Let us know what you think.

705

Speaker 1: Phone lines open in some ways at eight oh three

00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,560

Speaker 1: vote on the Twitter poll which part of the Bill's

710
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: defense will have the biggest impact in twenty nineteen. We've

711
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 1: got three hundred forty five votes in so far and

712
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 1: forty three perce pretty close. Forty three percent say it'll

713
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: be defensive line we'll have the biggest impact this year.

714
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: Thirty eight percent say it'll be the secondary with a

715
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: largely intact group coming back from last year. Twenty percent

716
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: say the linebackers will have the biggest impact. What do

717
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,919
Speaker 1: you think, which element, which unit on the Buffalo defense

718
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: will have the biggest impact on how things go in

719
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,479
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. I like the way the majority is voting

720
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: here and thinking I'm going defensive line two and I've

721
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: said this, hinted at this, and said it a couple

722
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 1: of times. I just think Ed Oliver has a role

723
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 1: to play here in what could be kind of a

724
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: different type of defense than they played last year. With

725
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 1: d Oliver's athleticism and speed, I think the Bills are

726
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: going to present some challenges to their opponents this year.

727
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 1: You know, find that guy, find that young defensive lineman

728
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: number ninety one, and we got to block him because

729
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: he's coming. He's getting after the passer and he's doing

730
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: it from the inside, not just an outside pass rush.

731
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: So I'm saying defensive linemen have the big simpact. What

732
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: about you, coach? I think that's a possibility. But I

733
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: think the results are going to show up in the

734
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 1: back end. I think it. I think people are gonna go, wow,

735
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: look at this because I think they're gonna be catching

736
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: the ball. I think they're gonna get a lot of turnovers.

737
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: I think the defensive line is gonna help. The ball's

738
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 1: gonna have to come out very fast. I think that

739
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are going to be under much more dress this year.

740
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: They're gonna be forced into seeing either a bad decisions

741
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: or b bad throws into what I think is going

742
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: to be really good coverage in the back end. They're

743
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: gonna have the flexibility, and we know this too. This

744
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 1: is a team that likes play little zone coverage with

745
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: Sean McDermot. They like to drop back into use their linebackers,

746
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: guys like Tremaye Denvis in his length and his width,

747
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: you know, to getting back in passing lanes. But they're

748
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: also gonna have, I think this year, a lot of

749
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: flexibility to go man a little bit more than they

750
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 1: have in the past because of the guys opposite Tredavious White.

751
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 1: You gotta ej Gaines, Kevin Johnson, Taran Johnson, you gotta

752
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace. You got all these guys over there competing

753
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: to be on the other side of Tredavious White, and

754
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna elevate those guys back there, along

755
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: with Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer. I just think you're

756
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot more turnovers this year. And I

757
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: think both ends of the defense, the defensive line and

758
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: their ability to get after the quarterback and the secondary's

759
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: ability to cover. I think the results of all that

760
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: are gonna be turnovers in the back end. So I

761
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: think where you vote, I would give the secondary the day,

762
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: but the point is well made that they're kind of,

763
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: you know, intertwined, no question about it, because you know

764
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: we've had this discussion off and on throughout the offseason.

765
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: The analytics guys say, hey, cornerback coverage is much more

766
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: important than pressure. But I think this year the pressure

767
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,479
Speaker 1: is gonna be elevated because Ed Oliver's presence is gonna

768
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 1: reak have it. I think Trent Murphy is going to

769
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: be the kind of more the kind of player we

770
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,479
Speaker 1: expected him to be this year than he was able

771
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: to be last year. I think he's gonna help last year.

772
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: And Jerry Hughes. You can laugh at me if you want.

773
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: There are people in the analytics end of pro football

774
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 1: who think Jerry Hughes is elite as a pass rusher.

775
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: He gets after it, he is consistent, he is a force,

776
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: and he had very little help last year. If he

777
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: gets some help this year, he's going to see some

778
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: benefits from it. So I think this defense is going

779
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: to elevate another step this year, and I think the

780
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: guys we mentioned at Oliver and Trent Murphy along with

781
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes are going to help him do that, and

782
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 1: that competition at the other corner, which tune in on

783
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: the Buffalo defense, will have the biggest impact. What do

784
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 1: you think. Let's go to the tweet sheet brought to

785
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of the

786
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. On the tweet sheet from Brian, he says,

787
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,800
Speaker 1: we may have one of the best secondaries in the league,

788
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: but I think the defensive line this year will actually

789
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: be able to get the sack total up, so they

790
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: will show the biggest jump in the stad line. Okay, Yeah,

791
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: I think the defensive line is gonna have an impact,

792
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: and I think they're going to be improved from where

793
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: they were a year ago. Yeah, and I think also

794
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: from Tony says linebackers, this is the one who is

795
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: not the majority linebackers. The D line should create better

796
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: opportunities up front for our second year linebacker stud to

797
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: wreak havoc on the posing quarterbacks and running backs. So

798
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: he thinks that because the D line's gonna be a

799
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: little stiffer up front, they're gonna be that's gonna turn

800
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 1: the linebackers loose to do that. Maybe, maybe, but I

801
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: think there's no question. I think a lot of us are.

802
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to say, I don't even see say

803
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: optimistic Murph. I think we're more I think we're more

804
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: expect the expectations are higher optimistic. I think it's like, hey,

805
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: let's go. We depend on them. We expect that of them.

806
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 1: They've proven that they were very good last year, very solid.

807
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 1: Not spectacular last year, but very solid last year. They

808
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: was probably more spectacular the year before when they got

809
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. But I think we expect a solid

810
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,320
Speaker 1: I mean it's almost we're taking it for granted, counting

811
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: on you know what I mean. Yeah, So I think

812
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: that's where most Bills fans aren't. Maybe that's a dangerous

813
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: place to live, given you know, the unpredictable nature of

814
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: the game that they play. But I think there's every

815
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: reason to have high expectation for that side of the ball.

816
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: And I think these tweets are reflected. First tweet said

817
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: d Line, second tweets said linebackers and Tiffany. The third

818
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: tweet we read. Tiffany writes in the secondary is loaded

819
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 1: with talent, top tier safeties and Hide and Poyer with

820
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: solid reserves behind them. I think our corners are special.

821
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: Trey White is elite heading into the prime of his career.

822
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace has a huge upside and he's showing him

823
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 1: be a Sunday starter. All of that is true, Tiffany,

824
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: and you neglected to mention the guy who I think

825
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: might wind up as a starter opposite Trey White, and

826
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 1: that's Kevin Johnson, one of the first round pick of

827
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: the Texans who came here as a free agent, and

828
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 1: he hasn't been a failure at Houston, but he couldn't

829
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: stay healthy. Bills have kept him healthy so far through

830
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: this spring. Like what they see. Sean McDermott was raving

831
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: last week about the takeaways he's getting from Kevin Johnson.

832
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: Do not overlook him as a potent vential starter and

833
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: very much a contributor in that pretty strong secondary. One

834
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: do the things they like about him, Murphy is he's

835
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 1: got that kind of length Ye so um, And that's

836
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,919
Speaker 1: gonna be I think one of the characteristics if as

837
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 1: this team takes shape around Sean McDermot, they get it

838
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 1: looking the way they's gonna look a little bit more

839
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: like their secondary is gonna look a little bit more

840
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 1: like a Seattle secondary back when they were winning World Championship.

841
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: Those big, long, physical cornerbacks that are able to knock

842
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,359
Speaker 1: passes down, and then the safeties that are you know,

843
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: that are smart, savvy and aggressive. I think that's that's

844
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: kind of the look. And Kevin Johnson fits that to

845
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: a t. He is, he's got length, and I think

846
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 1: you're right, we've been talking about a long time. He

847
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:44,359
Speaker 1: stays healthy, he's he's got measurables. I mean, the guy

848
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: is fast and he's big. It'll be interesting to see

849
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: if he can do that and become the player that

850
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 1: the Texans thought he was gonna be before he was

851
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: nagged by injury. First rounders right now in the Buffalo defense,

852
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: there's a count them. Think about that. Kevin Johnson's a

853
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 1: first round draft pick. So is tredave Is White. So

854
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: is Ed Oliver, so is Tremaine Edmonds. So is Jerry Hughes,

855
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,439
Speaker 1: so is Starlot. That's six guys that are first round

856
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: talent on the Bill's defense right now. That means they

857
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: are physically gifted. Forget Boston Jack Lawson. That means these

858
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: guys are physically a cut above. That's really what a

859
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: first rounder always is in the NFL. A guy who

860
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: is physically a cut above you look at Josh Allen. Yeah, yeah,

861
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 1: think about that. That's why those guys get drafted because

862
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: when they see those guys show up, they're like, wow,

863
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: look at that guy. That means the scouts are saying,

864
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: at least this guy's gonna have it physically. I don't

865
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: know if he'll do it mentally. I don't know if

866
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 1: he's got the work ethic or anything. But I'll tell

867
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: you what, when he gets off the bus, that guy's

868
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: a football player. Right. So you got six of those

869
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: guys lining up. That's pretty impressive. Yeah, and they did

870
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: it really quietly, right. Well, it's over the course of

871
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: three years, right, I mean, yeah, you get a couple

872
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: of guys Starlow to lay kind of a quiet signing

873
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 1: under the radar. Gave him a good contract, no question.

874
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 1: But he's he used a nose tackle. He's not gonna

875
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:09,359
Speaker 1: make seventeen sacks. He's a guy that's a run stuffer, groundholder, right,

876
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,760
Speaker 1: He's a placeholder for offensive lineman. When the ball snapped,

877
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: they can't go anywhere they because they're tied up with him.

878
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: Then you got Tremaine Edmonds, who you know. Now, he's

879
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: kind of emerging his end and physically he's unbelievable. He's

880
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: off the charge. Tredavious White now is a fixture you forget. Yeah,

881
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 1: he's a first round draft pick. Kevin Johnson. Now you've

882
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,919
Speaker 1: got a book end over there who's competing with two

883
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: other guys. It's a pretty good roster. It is over

884
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: there on the eat side of the ball. Hey, break care.

885
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: We'll come back. We'll talk more about this, which unit

886
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 1: on the Buffalo defense we'll have the biggest impact on

887
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,839
Speaker 1: their twenty nineteen season. Maybe we'll work in some Sean

888
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: McDermott sound from his morning news conference about how he's

889
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: dealing with some of these injuries that they are in

890
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: the minicamp this week. Come on back for all of that.

891
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive. This is Buffalo

892

Speaker 1: beautiful day. They're out there in day one of what's

896
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,399
Speaker 1: the matter, A great day? Man. Well, here we are

897
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: in our spacious studio. All right, we'll be out of

898
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: camp in a couple of months, actually six weeks where

899
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: we out of camp. But it'll be good six seven weeks.

900
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 1: I've kind of come full circle on that though, now

901
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: that it is on the we are on the cusp

902
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: of what do you mean Camp number two? You know, look,

903
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: I'm kind of looking forward to absolutely you get out there.

904
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 1: It wasn't last year. Remember, I know you you thought

905
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 1: it when you were going back to for doing you

906
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 1: or something. It's emotional scar tissue. But but yeah, we

907
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 1: had we had fun. Yeah, can't remember. Can you come out?

908
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: You pick me up? We drive over together. We stopped

909
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: the stop of the vegetable stands on the way home. Yeah,

910
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: great corn on the way. It's great. Camp is coming.

911
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 1: They gotta have a schedule of my age, Yeah, my

912
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: age two. I love camp. Think have you gotten a

913
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 1: schedule for camp? Nope? See, yeah, I was hoping. I

914
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: was gonna say if you did and I didn't, I

915
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 1: was going to be home to walk off the flip

916
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 1: the table. It's amazing how the little scraps of information

917
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: like that can change your life. Yes, well, it's important

918
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: to us, hopefully soon it's important to a lot of

919
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 1: fans who want to know when am I going. I

920
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 1: have a buddy of mine who lives out of state

921
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: said to me, I want to come up to camp.

922
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 1: When is it. I'm like, people playing trips around that

923
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 1: stuff for whatever reason. But yeah, I get it. I

924
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: get it. Hey, Twitter poll today and the topic of

925
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: the day defense, Bill's defense. What do you think which

926
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 1: unit on the Buffalo defense will have the biggest impact

927
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 1: in the upcoming season. Let's take a phone call on this.

928
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 1: What do you say? Let's go to Tom and fort Erie, Ontario. Tom,

929
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air. Welcome, good to hear

930
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: from you. Hey, hey guys, Thanks, congrats murph on Hall

931
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,479
Speaker 1: of Fame and thank you. We'll get you in there soon.

932
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 1: There's there's two men I really want to think about

933
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 1: this season. That's Tremaine Edmund he was really coming into

934
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: his own at the end of last season, and Matt Mulana,

935
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,399
Speaker 1: who was on a tear until he got injured. And

936
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 1: I think those two guys are gonna have a a big season.

937
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: You know, you talk about all these splashing games at

938
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: Oliver and everything. I think those two are really going

939
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: to have, you know, good second seasons here. That's really

940
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,879
Speaker 1: good point time. And it goes to the linebacker argument seed,

941
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: which is easily made when you think about that. Who

942
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 1: were we just talking to about Fremine? Was it? It

943
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: was Kyle Williams last week right, talking about how much

944
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: he anticipates the Bills will get from Fremine this year.

945
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: And of course Milano had a great thirteen games last season.

946
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: Really yeah, And there were people and I read it,

947
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 1: you said, uh, And I made the statement. I can't

948
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 1: remember where I went back. I went back and looked

949
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: at I did I really read that? And I said, yeah,

950
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 1: it did. I went back and found it again. Some

951
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: people are saying, Matt Milan is having a Pro Bowl year.

952
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: Fifth round draft pick having a Pro Bowl year, and

953
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 1: he has. The thing about him is he's always around

954
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: the football. So when you're talking about and I was

955
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 1: doing it talking about, you know, turnovers in the back

956
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 1: end because of the pressure at the front end and

957
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 1: all that. You know these line Milano's always around the

958
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,760
Speaker 1: ball back there, and that leads to a lot of turnovers.

959
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I thought he was having a stellar

960
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: year last year and his injuries shouldn't hold him up

961
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: this year. It's not like one of those where it

962
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: takes it to you and As soon as that's comfortable,

963
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 1: which he says it is, he's good to go. Hey,

964
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 1: are they good enough to win the AFC East this year?

965
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 1: Michael Robinson says, Yes, they are. We're going to talk

1008
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 1: from One Bill's Drive, John Murphy, Steve Tasker in our

1009
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 1: one Buffalo studio, players outside, getting in the miniicamp, works

1010
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: in mini caamp, workout right now. Last week it got

1011
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: our attention. We did also an entire show on it

1012
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 1: NFL that We're Good Morning Football, and former longtime NFL

1013
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:59,240
Speaker 1: linebacker Michael Robinson had a prediction about the two nineteen

1014
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill But right now, I got the Buffalo Bills

1015
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 1: winning the AFC East. Damn, whoa, whoa, You've heard it

1016
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 1: right here. The Buffalo Bills will win the AFC East.

1017
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 1: He is a fullback. You're right. I screwed that up

1018
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:18,439
Speaker 1: last week. But the important part was what he said,

1019
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 1: the Bills will win the AFC East this year. We

1020
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: were stunned. We were shocked. We reached out to Michael Robinson.

1021
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:25,760
Speaker 1: He is on the line with us right now. NFL

1022
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 1: Network analyst Michael Robinson, former fullback with the forty nine

1023
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: Ers and the Seahawks. You can follow him on Twitter

1024
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: at real mic rob You can see him tonight on

1025
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:37,320
Speaker 1: NFL Network's NFL Total Access at seven o'clock. Michael John Murphy,

1026
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 1: Steve Task, you're here in Buffalo. You were You were

1027
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:41,360
Speaker 1: not kidding about that, right? The Bills will win the

1028
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 1: division this year. No, I was not kidding. And don't

1029
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: worry about the fullback linebacker comparison mix up. We're basically

1030
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 1: the same person. I get the ball, the linebacker does

1031
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 1: not get the football. But yeah, I'm dead serious about

1032
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 1: about what I said on Good Morning Football. Um, just

1033
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 1: simply because it seems to me the Buffalo Bills are

1034
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: built right when you look at what they've done in

1035
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: the off season. They took care of the line of scrimmage,

1036
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: whether you're talking about the off season pickups and free

1037
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: agency along with the draft. I love what they did

1038
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:14,919
Speaker 1: in the draft, got ed Oliver oder Houston with number

1039
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,759
Speaker 1: nine overall, with the ability to pass rush, ability to

1040
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,280
Speaker 1: be able to push the pocket and force Tom Brady

1041
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: to throw the ball where he doesn't want to throw it.

1042
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 1: To go along with this top rank defensive secondary, you know,

1043
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 1: only allowing one hundred and seventy nine pass yards last year,

1044
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 1: I was number one in the National Football League. But

1045
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 1: you pick up Cody Ford in the second round, and

1046
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 1: then and then in the off season program you get

1047
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 1: Spencer Long or guard Mitch Morris of center, Tye and

1048
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:44,240
Speaker 1: sky a tackle who can play both sides, Lea, Adrian

1049
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 1: Waddle and Jake Fish. I mean, the line of scrimmage

1050
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 1: is taking care of in my in my experience, when

1051
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 1: you take care of the line of scrimmage in the secondary,

1052
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: you win ball games in the National Football League. And

1053
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 1: one of the reasons, Michael, this is Steve Tasterer is

1054
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 1: good talking to you. I ask you too a note.

1055
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 1: The AFC's just really about the New England Patriots and

1056
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: everybody else. What makes you think the Bills have taken

1057
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: enough of a step to dethrone the Patriots and the

1058
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 1: stranglehold they've had on this division. Well, simply because you

1059
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 1: have a young nucleus. I mean, I love what I

1060
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 1: saw out of the quarterback Josh Allen. It seems like

1061
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 1: he's continuing to take the next step. You hear reports

1062
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:24,319
Speaker 1: that he's starting to get involved in game planning and

1063
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:26,399
Speaker 1: plays that he likes and all of those types of things.

1064
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 1: I think mister Dave Ball will be able to use

1065
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 1: his use his skill set and be able to turn

1066
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 1: the AFC East upside down the defenses there. Sean McDermot,

1067
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 1: I've talked to him during the owners meetings and he's

1068
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 1: very serious about being able to put pressure on the

1069
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: quarterback and then this secondary. Some of the things that

1070
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:47,280
Speaker 1: they do with the secondary I have never seen before.

1071
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:49,399
Speaker 1: I mean just the way that they play their cover

1072
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:51,840
Speaker 1: two in the field and then when they played closer

1073
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 1: to the goal line. Just just some of the different

1074
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: things that they do to to to make quarterback life

1075
00:52:57,719 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: a living hell. I just love what they do on

1076
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: the d to the side of the ball. And Steve,

1077
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 1: I'm so honored to have you on or to be

1078
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 1: on your show, so to speak. Man, I was a

1079
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 1: former special teams captain most of my career. Special teams

1080
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 1: is everything for me. It was the reason how I

1081
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: fed my kids. You are a guy looked up to

1082
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:17,839
Speaker 1: brother to see how you see your passion and your

1083
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 1: strain on the football field. Myself and Heath far Off,

1084
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 1: who was also the special teams coach with you guys

1085
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 1: right now, we always admireument, so I had I can't

1086
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 1: be on your line and I give you some proper brother, Well,

1087
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I'm sure Heath would have me send

1088
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:35,800
Speaker 1: his regards on to you as well. I got to

1089
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 1: ask you too about some of the other stuff you

1090
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: said about you say, Josh Allen is going to take

1091
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:43,319
Speaker 1: a big step forward and maybe even have as many,

1092
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 1: probably more wins than guys the guys that he was

1093
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 1: drafted with the other quarterbacks like Mayfield, of course, Rosen

1094
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 1: and Sam Darnold. How do you see that for a

1095
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: long time we and Buffalo have kind of paralleled the

1096
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 1: rebuild that has been gone on with going on with

1097
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 1: the New York Jets. Where do you think the Buffalo

1098
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:03,839
Speaker 1: Bills have separated themselves from Gang Green? Well, I think

1099
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 1: a big part of it is guys, and you know,

1100
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 1: you guys know a little bit more than I do,

1101
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: being in that you know whether the New York Jets

1102
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: are in that market. You guys are in the New

1103
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 1: York market also, but it's a little bit more north,

1104
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: a little bit kind of you know, under the radar.

1105
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:20,240
Speaker 1: Nobody's kind of giving you any you know, giving you anything,

1106
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 1: any chance, all of those things. To me, that's where

1107
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: you want to be, you know, you want to be

1108
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:28,439
Speaker 1: where nobody's giving you any chance to do anything, where

1109
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: everybody's already saying that you're out of it, you know

1110
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:32,880
Speaker 1: what I mean. That's that way when you get on

1111
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 1: the field, you can surprise people. And I just think

1112
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 1: with the additions, I think Frank Gore, a guy that

1113
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:42,240
Speaker 1: I played with in San Francisco, he's a culture changer.

1114
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:44,319
Speaker 1: You know, he's a guy when he steps into the

1115
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 1: locker room, when he speaks, guys shut up and listen.

1116
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 1: That's very valuable to have a guy who has one

1117
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 1: in this league, who has three credibility in this league,

1118
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 1: meaning that other defenses know that they know that he

1119
00:54:57,239 --> 00:54:59,359
Speaker 1: still has juice in his legs and still can play

1120
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 1: this game. Um, when he speaks and has all of

1121
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:04,920
Speaker 1: that background, he can change the culture in that locker room.

1122
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 1: So I just think some of the guys, not just

1123
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 1: the guys that they brought in. But the entire philography

1124
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 1: is going to be why the Buffalo Bills win the AFC.

1125
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:14,719
Speaker 1: And I'm sticking with the guys. I'm sticking with them.

1126
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 1: I'm not going anywhere. Yeah, don't don't beat back down now.

1127
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 1: Michael Robinson guests Michael Robinson, our guest, former fullback with

1128
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers and the Seahawks. NFL network analysts

1129
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl with the Seattle's Super Bowl. Uh yeah,

1130
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: you guys crushed never at MetLife Stadium, right, Yeah, it

1131
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 1: wasn't even cloth. I'm sorry for people who thought it

1132
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: was going to be a closer name. You mentioned the

1133
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,239
Speaker 1: additions the Bills are made to the offensive line. They've

1134
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: got a number of springtime injuries here now, Michael, and

1135
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 1: so we don't have a clear sense of who's lining

1136
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: up where yet. But you think that some total of

1137
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 1: all of those editions are going to be successful for

1138
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:54,439
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and the Bills. Absolutely. I mean, you can't

1139
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 1: win in this league without a secondary or defensive back

1140
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:00,400
Speaker 1: and your offensive line. I equate your offensive line to

1141
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:02,840
Speaker 1: the engine of a car, and I equate the secondary

1142
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 1: to the battery of a car, both of which if

1143
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:08,759
Speaker 1: they're down, you cannot win. Your secondary as the last

1144
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 1: line of defense. You do not give up the big

1145
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,719
Speaker 1: plays and you make tackles when running back and break

1146
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 1: in the open space. Offensive line you protect, You protect

1147
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback, and you open up the line of scrimmager

1148
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 1: that the runners can get going. I think Shady will

1149
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 1: have a resurgence this year simply because he has Frank

1150
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 1: Gore behind him, simply because he has a he has

1151
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 1: a veteran presence along with himself in that running back

1152
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: room that's gonna say, hey, Shady, relax, bro, relax man,

1153
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:38,960
Speaker 1: you ain't gotta you know, just run a little harder.

1154
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 1: You're all good. And I think I think we're gonna

1155
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:43,359
Speaker 1: see Shady at his best this year. Yeah. I think

1156
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:45,799
Speaker 1: one of the things that also that will help Josh out.

1157
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: No question, the offensive line is going to make an

1158
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 1: enormous difference and have a ripple effect through everything. But

1159
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:52,800
Speaker 1: some of the bells and whistles of the Bills have

1160
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 1: acquired are pretty intriguing. Cole Beasley from the Dallas Cowboys,

1161
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 1: John Brown from the Baltimore Ravens a lot of them,

1162
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 1: and Gore in the backfield. The fact that that running

1163
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: game may make a resurgence will help Josh Allen as well.

1164
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 1: But how much do you think these guys on the

1165
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:10,399
Speaker 1: outside like a Cole Beasley and a John Brown could

1166
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 1: help a young quarterback always open? I mean Cole Beasley

1167
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 1: is always open, man. I mean he's seven to eleven, bro,

1168
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. He runs his intermediate routes.

1169
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:22,919
Speaker 1: He understands tempo and timing and all of those types

1170
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 1: of things. And with the young quarterback like Josh Allen,

1171
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 1: who has a big arm, which I hope he can

1172
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 1: start to, you know, look to the eat immediate throws

1173
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 1: a little bit more than trying to just throw a

1174
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 1: seven yards every single time. But I think I think

1175
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley being a nice out for him. Whenever he

1176
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,800
Speaker 1: gets in trouble, he can just find Cole Beasley and

1177
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley or be open. I also think the development

1178
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 1: of Zay Jones going in this year is going to

1179
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 1: be crucial. They're gonna need this big, tall, big wide

1180
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 1: receiver on the outside and if he can be on

1181
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 1: the back side of a three by one, the single

1182
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 1: receiver to draw coverage and make the defense declare for

1183
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 1: the young quarterback. I think the sky's the limit for

1184
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 1: this offense. I love what they've done on the outside,

1185
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 1: John Brown's peaster on the outside being able to fly down,

1186
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 1: fly down the field, providing that space for this offense

1187
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 1: to open up some things underneath. And obviously I love

1188
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 1: the fullback. Got to show a little love to the fullback.

1189
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:19,360
Speaker 1: Patrick DeMarco was in Atlanta. I think him in this

1190
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 1: one game providing eyes for the runners are going to

1191
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 1: be great. And Devin's singletary if he can get his

1192
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 1: tempo together, I think this might have been the steel

1193
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:28,440
Speaker 1: of the draft. He was on my top backs coming out.

1194
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 1: If the Bills are to win the anfcast this year,

1195
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 1: something that's gonna have to happen to the Patriots, right

1196
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 1: What do you see there? I think the Patrios will

1197
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 1: still get into the playoffs. I think there'll be a

1198
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 1: wild card again right now, but guys, we're in June,

1199
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. We're in June and a

1200
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 1: lot of football has to be played again. The Buffalo Bills,

1201
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 1: they have to stay healthy. If they can stay healthy again,

1202
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 1: I think the Scots an do you think Rob Gronkowski

1203
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:00,960
Speaker 1: has gone for good? No? I do not think Rob

1204
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 1: Unkowski has gone from good. I think rob Unkowski doesn't

1205
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: want to do training camp. I think his body needed

1206
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of arrest, and I think it's gonna

1207
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 1: come around, I don't know, week six, seven or eight

1208
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 1: in October, and he's gonna be like, what the hell

1209
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 1: am I doing? It's time to go play some football,

1210
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 1: and then he's gonna go back in and make some play. Well,

1211
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 1: you've had some thoughts about what the Buffalo Bills and

1212
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 1: how they've changed offensively. What are some of the top

1213
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 1: offenses gonna be in the National Football Leaguer? Is it

1214
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 1: going to be the usual suspects. Well, I mean when

1215
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 1: you look down there in New Orleans, everywhere Sean Payton

1216
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,439
Speaker 1: has been, especially when he has Drew Brees, they're gonna

1217
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 1: be a top offense. So I expect that down there

1218
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 1: in New Orleans to continue to be prolific. But AFC team,

1219
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis colts Man, they're a really intriguing team. They've

1220
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 1: cut down, They've totally limited the hits on Andrew Luck,

1221
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 1: which means in the later on in games and in

1222
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 1: crucial situations, he can be freshman, he can be that

1223
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 1: guy to go winning games and be that one hundred

1224
00:59:57,400 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 1: million dollar guy. They run. They they have a runner

1225
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:03,080
Speaker 1: in Marlon matt They have guys on the outside. They

1226
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 1: bought in the kid from Carolina, the big talk kid

1227
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 1: from Carolina, um and punches and and other guys. So

1228
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 1: when you look at the Indianapolis Colts, I think this

1229
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 1: offense is gonna be one of the tops in the

1230
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 1: National Football League. And Michael, you were talking about the

1231
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 1: Bill's quarterback Josh Allen and how he might stack up

1232
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:20,440
Speaker 1: against the others he was drafted with the last year

1233
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 1: Mayfield and obviously um um Darnald. Yeah, but what about

1234
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 1: Mark Jackson down in the Baltimore and now that he

1235
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 1: gets a chance with an entire offseason? Is the number one? What?

1236
01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 1: What's this ceiling? What's what's the upside do you think

1237
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 1: for Jackson down in Baltimore? The upside is tremendous, especially

1238
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 1: with Greg Roman being the offensive coordinator. Obviously, people know

1239
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 1: Greg Romo was with was with Colin kaeperniy uh down

1240
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:49,280
Speaker 1: there and over there in San Francisco. The whole thing

1241
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 1: for Lamar is this, he had his He has to

1242
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 1: understand exactly who he is, right. Um, He's not a

1243
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:56,960
Speaker 1: guy that's gonna throw the ball forty five times a

1244
01:00:56,960 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 1: game and be a high completion guy. He uses his legs.

1245
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 1: And my thing is, I hope Baltimore and I've talked

1246
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:05,440
Speaker 1: to a coach hard Ball and the staff down there.

1247
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:08,439
Speaker 1: I hope that they don't try to force this guy

1248
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 1: to just be a pocket guy. No, be who you are.

1249
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:14,480
Speaker 1: It takes a tremendous amount of responsibility to be one

1250
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 1: of the fastest people on the football field and be

1251
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 1: the quarterback when you drop back, you know what I mean, Like,

1252
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 1: why not just run it every single time? So it

1253
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 1: takes a whole lot of responsibility. I think his upside

1254
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:28,400
Speaker 1: is tremendous. I think this year, I do think Baltimore

1255
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 1: will get into the playoffs. He'll find a way because

1256
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 1: with all the spread systems being going through the National

1257
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:38,160
Speaker 1: Football League, it's forcing linebackers to be smaller, it's forcing

1258
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 1: the offensive lineman to look a certain way, and the

1259
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens they're gonna just put it in a phone

1260
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: booth and run right at you. And I think when

1261
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 1: you play a different style like that, you win games

1262
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:50,440
Speaker 1: just also having a different style. So I like with

1263
01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. I like what he is. I do think

1264
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 1: the platoon system four quarterbacks like Lamar will be coming

1265
01:01:57,520 --> 01:01:59,920
Speaker 1: because I don't think a general manager is gonna pay

1266
01:01:59,880 --> 01:02:02,920
Speaker 1: a guy like Lamar Jackson thirty five or forty million dollars,

1267
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 1: which is the going rate we're starting quarterback in the

1268
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 1: National Football League. I think eventually a general manager's going

1269
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 1: to say, hey, you run the football as an opportunity.

1270
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:14,800
Speaker 1: You may get hurt. No quarterback in that quarterback room

1271
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 1: will make more than ten or eleven million dollars a season.

1272
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 1: So the whole room will make forty minute, right, and

1273
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 1: I think that's more Yeah, you know, handling him more

1274
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 1: like a like every other position. We're talking with Michael Robinson.

1275
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:27,960
Speaker 1: One last thing I've got before we let you go, Michael,

1276
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 1: and a story that's happened kind of today. That's kind

1277
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 1: of hit because Cam Newton is gonna start throwing I

1278
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 1: guess today at their mini camp. He's been through the

1279
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 1: entire offseason rehabilitating his shoulder, and he's coming out maybe

1280
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 1: with a new throwing motion. What do you make it,

1281
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 1: Cam Newton and his rehabilitation. Yeah, to start throwing in

1282
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:51,160
Speaker 1: June of your off season program doesn't say too much

1283
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:53,760
Speaker 1: about what the growth of this offense will look like

1284
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 1: this year. But Cam Newton, he's superman Man. He's you know,

1285
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 1: he says, he calls himself superman. And if there's a

1286
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:01,280
Speaker 1: guy that can do what I think Cam Newton can.

1287
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 1: When you talk about changing and throwing motion, I understand

1288
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 1: making tweaks to your throwing motion, but what eight or

1289
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 1: nine years in the National Football League and you've been

1290
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 1: throwing a football a certain way. I don't think it's

1291
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:16,080
Speaker 1: changing too much. Maybe it changes during this workout today,

1292
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 1: but in the fourth quarter in Week nine, you're gonna

1293
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:20,760
Speaker 1: be throwing the football like you've always throwing the football.

1294
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:24,240
Speaker 1: So I'm interested to see if he can kind of

1295
01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 1: tie his feet to his upper body a little bit

1296
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 1: better and be more mechanically savvy at the quarterback position.

1297
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 1: But Cam has always had bad mechanics throwing the football,

1298
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:37,280
Speaker 1: so I think it's gonna be a working progress. Hey Michael,

1299
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 1: thanks for this. We hope you're right about your AFC

1300
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:40,960
Speaker 1: East prediction. Thank you for being on the show with

1301
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:43,440
Speaker 1: us today. Thank you guys, And I know I'm right,

1302
01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:47,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, there you go like that. Thanks Michael. Michael Robinson,

1303
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 1: the NFL Network. Candalysts played fullback for the forty nine

1304
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:52,800
Speaker 1: ers in the Seahawks for about seven or eight years.

1305
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 1: He's now an NFL Network candalyst. You can follow him

1306
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:57,920
Speaker 1: on Twitter at real Mike Rob. You can see him

1307
01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 1: tonight and NFL Network's NFL Total Access at seven o'clock.

1308
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:03,520
Speaker 1: He sounds like a man of conviction. He says, the

1309
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 1: Bills are winning the division this year. It's kind of

1310
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 1: the way I feel sometimes. I'm I'm never i may

1311
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:16,440
Speaker 1: be wrong, but I'm never in doubt. Yeah right, So, uh, listen,

1312
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:19,360
Speaker 1: We've we talked about all the time. His logic is sound,

1313
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of football to be played before

1314
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 1: before it comes in something. A lot of illogical and

1315
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:28,360
Speaker 1: crazy stuff happens through a football season. It'll be fun

1316
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 1: to watch this unfold. Let's get us into the Twitter

1317
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:34,200

1320
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:42,240
Speaker 1: conference live from Key Bank Center. We also have a

1321
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:45,520
Speaker 1: guest lined up sometime after practice today, Ken Dorsey, the

1322
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:48,280
Speaker 1: Bills quarterbacks coach. So we're gonna juggle those two stick

1323
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:52,240
Speaker 1: with us. Could be fun. The Twitter poll today. It'll

1324
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:55,080
Speaker 1: be fun, it'll be informational. Twitter poll to eight deals

1325
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 1: with the Buffalo defense. I don't know from you which

1326
01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 1: part of the Bill's defense will have the biggest impact

1327
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 1: this coming season. We got phone lines open eighth five fifty.

1328
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 1: If you'd like to weigh in toll free from outside

1329
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:09,440
Speaker 1: Buffalo one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty,

1330
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:11,720
Speaker 1: you can vote in the Twitter poll. We got more

1331
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: than four hundred and sixty votes in so far, and

1332
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 1: forty three percent of you say the defensive line will

1333
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:19,800
Speaker 1: have the biggest impact. I'm inclined to agree. Thirty seven

1334
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:23,080
Speaker 1: percent say the secondary, twenty percent say the linebackers. Let

1335
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 1: us know what you think there, or send in a

1336
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:27,360
Speaker 1: tweet on the tweet sheet. Let's check the tweet sheet

1337
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:30,560
Speaker 1: brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers

1338
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. It's from Jeremiah defensive line ed

1339
01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:36,840
Speaker 1: Oliver Harrison, Phillips in his second year in the system,

1340
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 1: and seemingly a healthy Trent Murphy. There's three pretty important names,

1341
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 1: and I tell you the wild card. There's Trent Murphy.

1342
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 1: From what we've heard, he was not one hundred percent

1343
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 1: last year. He had a devastating injury two years ago

1344
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 1: which led to his free agency, which led to him

1345
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 1: signing with Buffalo, and you really felt like he was

1346
01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 1: not himself last year throughout the season. He has really

1347
01:05:57,560 --> 01:05:59,520
Speaker 1: worked hard to come back and now, and I know

1348
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:01,960
Speaker 1: this as a guy myself who've been through a knee surgery,

1349
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:05,960
Speaker 1: although not the same type or catastrophic as the one

1350
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:10,240
Speaker 1: Trent suffered, it does take a long time for your

1351
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 1: new knee or different knee you're injured and healed knee

1352
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 1: to feel normal to you. You know what I mean.

1353
01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:18,640
Speaker 1: It may be structurally sound, but it never feels the

1354
01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:21,000
Speaker 1: same after that, and it takes your mind a long

1355
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 1: time to accept that as the new normal and treat

1356
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:26,680
Speaker 1: it without regard and just go out and play and

1357
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 1: you can cut loose and not think about it. I

1358
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:30,600
Speaker 1: think he was thinking about it all last year. I

1359
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:32,360
Speaker 1: think it bothered him all last year, even if it

1360
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 1: was sound physically or structurally. I think that knee bothered

1361
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 1: him last year. And I think now I think, and

1362
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 1: we had him in here, he said, yeah, he does

1363
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:43,760
Speaker 1: feel a lot different with his injury, and it's going

1364
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:45,400
Speaker 1: to be a different year for him hopefully. Yeah, And

1365
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:47,560
Speaker 1: I think it's kind it's almost under the radar, right.

1366
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 1: People acknowledge it, talk about it, but they don't talk

1367
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 1: about it too loud. And I'm talking about people outside

1368
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:55,800
Speaker 1: of Buffalo. I think in this building there's a strong

1369
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:59,720
Speaker 1: feeling that Trent Mr Leslie Frasier made you know, a

1370
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 1: lot of statements about it, what last week, maybe two

1371
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:04,800
Speaker 1: weeks ago. But I think in the building people understand

1372
01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:06,960
Speaker 1: that this guy could be a difference maker this year

1373
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:10,080
Speaker 1: after not being a difference maker last year. I'll take

1374
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:12,800
Speaker 1: outside of Buffalo, anybody's aware where Trent Murphy has been

1375
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 1: or what he may might be able to provide you, right,

1376
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:16,240
Speaker 1: And that's why you know, when we when I just

1377
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:18,400
Speaker 1: read that that tweet you know from you know at

1378
01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 1: Oliver Harrison Phillips, and they say, oh, yeah, I'm Trent Murphy.

1379
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:24,240
Speaker 1: He is the kind of the wild card in there.

1380
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 1: You think, wow, he could be really good, particularly with

1381
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:30,120
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes on the other side of him, if he

1382
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 1: elevates his plays and as a different kind of guy.

1383
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 1: That's it's fun to think about. From the tweet sheet

1384
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 1: from Roman, when we asked the question which part of

1385
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:40,480
Speaker 1: the bill's defense one of the biggest impact in twenty nineteen.

1386
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:43,960
Speaker 1: Roman writes in could be the deepest cornerback room and

1387
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 1: the best secondary in the league. If gains Or or

1388
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:50,720
Speaker 1: Johnson can stay healthy, or Wallace producers like last year,

1389
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:53,840
Speaker 1: there's no weakness. It's a good point. It's a pretty

1390
01:07:53,840 --> 01:07:56,600
Speaker 1: good point. It is certainly if now in the secondary,

1391
01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 1: it's certainly deep. There's all these are accompanied by well

1392
01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 1: if you know, if Trent Murphy's a better player, and

1393
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 1: if Wallace can come back and produce, and if Gaines

1394
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:06,600
Speaker 1: and Johnson. You know, there's a lot of if in there.

1395
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:11,400
Speaker 1: But nevertheless, none of us outlandish. You know, you're not asking,

1396
01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:13,600
Speaker 1: you're not splitting the atom here. I mean, all you're

1397
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 1: saying is, hey, I hope the guy can dodge the

1398
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 1: injuries that he's had, you know, and with a different program,

1399
01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:20,679
Speaker 1: different training regiment that they're giving him here in Buffalo,

1400
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:22,880
Speaker 1: Kevin Johnson could be a different player. E J. Gaines,

1401
01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 1: you know he can produce. If he can, if he

1402
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 1: comes over and plays the way we have seen him play.

1403
01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:31,200
Speaker 1: And Levi Wallace he may be better than he was

1404
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 1: last year because he'll feel healthier than he did last year.

1405
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:36,600
Speaker 1: Tarin Johnson the same thing. Wasn't Taron Johnson want with

1406
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 1: the shoulder injury that gutted it out throughout the season,

1407
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:42,679
Speaker 1: And finally the team said, now you're not playing anymore

1408
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 1: with that shoulder the way it is. They fixed his shoulder,

1409
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:46,800
Speaker 1: he comes back, he could be he could be a

1410
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:49,599
Speaker 1: much better player than he was a year ago. So

1411
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:52,280
Speaker 1: there's a lot of fun things to think about opposite

1412
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:55,360
Speaker 1: Tredavious White. And they've got not only guys competing to start,

1413
01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:58,519
Speaker 1: but they've got that gives them great depth, quality, depth,

1414
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:01,559
Speaker 1: some flexibility. They can do some stuff maybe nobody else

1415
01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:03,879
Speaker 1: wants to do because they don't have that many good corners.

1416
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:05,760
Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna be a lot of fun to

1417
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:08,240
Speaker 1: watch the secondary take shape this year. And of course

1418
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:12,919
Speaker 1: we didn't even mention maybe the best you know, safety

1419
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:16,439
Speaker 1: combination in the division and Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyor

1420
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:18,400
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be fun, you know. Just thinking back

1421
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:22,519
Speaker 1: to the last Twitter participant there Roman talking about maybe

1422
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 1: the depth, the deepest secondary in the league. There was

1423
01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:27,200
Speaker 1: a game and I think I try to remember which

1424
01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:30,040
Speaker 1: game it was early in the season when the Bills,

1425
01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:32,360
Speaker 1: who was it, They were forced to go with Lewis

1426
01:09:32,360 --> 01:09:34,080
Speaker 1: at corner a guy, Yeah, I think it was Cam

1427
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:37,439
Speaker 1: Lewis right at corner. No, that Wasn'tim he's a rookie.

1428
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:40,120
Speaker 1: There was a guy who they started early in the season,

1429
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:42,760
Speaker 1: and I remember talking on Friday, Ryan Lewis. That's what

1430
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:45,320
Speaker 1: I'm taking Ryan Lewis. I remember talking to Sean McDermott

1431
01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 1: on Friday, like, who are you going with at corner

1432
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:49,920
Speaker 1: opposite Tredavius Ryan Lewis, and we both just sort of

1433
01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:52,680
Speaker 1: nodded like it was the guy's first NFL start. He

1434
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:55,320
Speaker 1: acquitted himself well, but it was kind of like that's

1435
01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 1: how that's how thin it got at the secondary until

1436
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:00,599
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace was ready to go second for the season.

1437
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 1: I mean, that was like a revolving door at cornerback

1438
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:05,880
Speaker 1: and that was ugly. It was. I'm sure that that

1439
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,680
Speaker 1: accounts for the resigning of E. J. Gaines and going

1440
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:11,040
Speaker 1: out and getting Kevin Johnson and some of the others

1441
01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:13,960
Speaker 1: they've added to the added to the roster, because that

1442
01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:16,479
Speaker 1: was that's scary when you're going into a bonifid NFL

1443
01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:18,479
Speaker 1: game and you're starting a rookie corner who's never played

1444
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:21,280
Speaker 1: in the league before. Come on, man, well, that's we

1445
01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:24,639
Speaker 1: heard him come. Sean McDermott spoke to us at the combine.

1446
01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:27,000
Speaker 1: Remember he came in and they were just on the

1447
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 1: cusp of looking at these young draft picks. Free agency

1448
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 1: had not started yet, right, Yeah, and they said, you know,

1449
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:35,920
Speaker 1: we just want to make sure that we don't go

1450
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:40,280
Speaker 1: into the draft with a positional emergency. Yeah, and that

1451
01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:43,040
Speaker 1: was an emergency last year. They were the cupboards were bare,

1452
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:46,160
Speaker 1: and you know, they made their way through it. But

1453
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:48,080
Speaker 1: stuff like that, you know, gets you to a six

1454
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:50,280
Speaker 1: and ten season when it could have been much better

1455
01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 1: or a little bit different, and the ripple effects go

1456
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:56,280
Speaker 1: far reaching. And man, you look at the secondary this

1457
01:10:56,360 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 1: year and then there you can it's almost like you

1458
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:02,640
Speaker 1: can see the meeting where Brandon mc brandon, Bean and

1459
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:05,000
Speaker 1: Chummi we're looking at each other and gonna listen, weren't

1460
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:07,040
Speaker 1: doing that again exactly right, They're looking at each other.

1461
01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:08,720
Speaker 1: So they go out and they sign all these guys

1462
01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:10,479
Speaker 1: and they're quality guys. It's fun to think about it.

1463
01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:13,640
Speaker 1: But uh, like I said that, you're right that it

1464
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:15,680
Speaker 1: was an emergency last year. It was Minnesota. It was

1465
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:18,200
Speaker 1: a Minnesota game, and Lewis started three games that game

1466
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:19,960
Speaker 1: in Green Bay and then a home game after that.

1467
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 1: But it was like, here's a guy, rookie from Pittsburgh Lass,

1468
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:25,200
Speaker 1: you'd never played in an NFL game before, and the

1469
01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:28,200
Speaker 1: Bills lined up against Minnesota Vikings with him as a starter.

1470
01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:34,600
Speaker 1: That too, man, that's right a break, we're back. We

1471

1485
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:37,679
Speaker 1: Lance In the Buffalo News. Aside from the contract itself,

1486
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:40,280
Speaker 1: what made this the right fit to return to Buffalo

1487
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 1: long term. I think there's a number of things. I

1488
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:50,559
Speaker 1: think when you when you go through this process, you

1489
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:53,559
Speaker 1: kind of try and weigh what's important to you. And

1490
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:57,040
Speaker 1: then within that list of things that's important new way

1491
01:12:57,080 --> 01:13:02,000
Speaker 1: the pros and cons with within an organization. I think

1492
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:04,920
Speaker 1: for me, the top top things on my list we're

1493
01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:08,960
Speaker 1: we're sort of all the positive things about Buffalo and UM.

1494
01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:11,400
Speaker 1: Right at the top, I think, I want to I

1495
01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:14,719
Speaker 1: want to win. UM. I want to plan a competitive team,

1496
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:20,880
Speaker 1: and I think that with the players we have, UM,

1497
01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:25,280
Speaker 1: I think that that's that's a realistic, realistic thing to

1498
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:28,960
Speaker 1: think and UM. And then you sort of go down

1499
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 1: the list on on sort of living situation, how your

1500
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:37,680
Speaker 1: how your family is going to be affected, and UM.

1501
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:43,640
Speaker 1: All those things I think they day lined up positively. UM.

1502
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:46,120
Speaker 1: Sort of how you're going to fit in with the community,

1503
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:48,559
Speaker 1: how you fit in the locker room, which for me,

1504
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:52,639
Speaker 1: fortunately I had a year or two uh to sort

1505
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 1: of try it out, and I think everything was was

1506
01:13:57,240 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 1: positive and that's why we sort of ended up where

1507
01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:06,800
Speaker 1: we did. Jeff Tech Colbert prospect of news here in Buffalo. Congratulations.

1508
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:09,760
Speaker 1: You could have tested free agency, You could have gone

1509
01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:11,920
Speaker 1: until July first, or even passed that. Why was it

1510
01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:13,920
Speaker 1: important for you to get this thing locked up, you

1511
01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:20,559
Speaker 1: know before then? UM, I think it just that's just

1512
01:14:20,600 --> 01:14:24,840
Speaker 1: the way it worked out. I think that again, going

1513
01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:26,639
Speaker 1: through the process, you you sort of if you think

1514
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 1: about everything, you weigh the pros and cons, and for me,

1515
01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:34,400
Speaker 1: it I love it here and I had a great

1516
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:38,520
Speaker 1: time um last year. Obviously disappointing with the result. Disappointing

1517
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:41,800
Speaker 1: with the result, but when you're sort of when you're

1518
01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:43,760
Speaker 1: sort of looking at the overall picture, I had a

1519
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:47,680
Speaker 1: great time and a great experience with with everything, with

1520
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:51,560
Speaker 1: my teammates, with with the fans, with the community, um,

1521
01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:57,519
Speaker 1: everyone in the organization. And obviously they just didn't feel

1522
01:14:57,520 --> 01:14:59,400
Speaker 1: the need to get to that point because I like

1523
01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:02,960
Speaker 1: it here and and um, I didn't didn't feel like

1524
01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:05,000
Speaker 1: it needed to get to that point where I wanted

1525
01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:10,000
Speaker 1: to look elsewhere. Hey, Jeff Adam Beanini, w Jerzy right

1526
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:14,759
Speaker 1: here to your left. Okay, thanks to see it again. Congratulations, Um,

1527
01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:17,719
Speaker 1: your interaction with Ralph Krueger and some of your initial

1528
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:21,280
Speaker 1: discussions and your impressions to him. Yeah, I just had

1529
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:24,920
Speaker 1: h I just had one sort of introductory phone call

1530
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:27,559
Speaker 1: with him. He was, uh, he's overseas at the time,

1531
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:32,600
Speaker 1: and I'm sure he's been a pretty busy guy, um,

1532
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:35,960
Speaker 1: sort of with everything that's on his plate. So um,

1533
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:38,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure that I'll get to talk to him more

1534
01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:42,760
Speaker 1: as we move along in the summer. Um. But my

1535
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 1: first impression, I think it's sort of consistent with most

1536
01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:48,080
Speaker 1: of the people that i've I've heard talk about him,

1537
01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:52,240
Speaker 1: is that he's excited to be here. Um, he's hungry,

1538
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:56,679
Speaker 1: and obviously his resume speaks for itself. He's he's he's

1539
01:15:56,720 --> 01:16:01,120
Speaker 1: incredibly intelligent. Um, he's he's got a a lot of

1540
01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:05,240
Speaker 1: experience in numerous situations that I think are going to

1541
01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:07,840
Speaker 1: benefit them. But for me, the thing that sticks out

1542
01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:12,599
Speaker 1: is sort of his excitement and his uh yeah, just

1543
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:15,720
Speaker 1: like his genuine excitement to be in Buffalo and to

1544
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:17,799
Speaker 1: sort of get things rolling. I think as a player,

1545
01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:20,840
Speaker 1: that's that's the kind of thing that excites you. When

1546
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 1: when a coach has that, I think sometimes it can

1547
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:25,519
Speaker 1: when your leader has that, I think it can sort

1548
01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:28,439
Speaker 1: of it can be kind of infectious, and it can

1549
01:16:28,439 --> 01:16:31,639
Speaker 1: sort of spread from from from him on down. So

1550
01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:34,080
Speaker 1: it's it's uh, it's it's nice to see that he

1551
01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:37,520
Speaker 1: has that. There you go, Jeff Skinner with his introductor,

1552
01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:39,519
Speaker 1: not an introductor. He's been here for a year. His

1553
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:42,519
Speaker 1: news conference after he signs a contract eight years, seventy

1554
01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:45,320
Speaker 1: two million dollars forty goals for Jeff Skinner last year.

1555
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:48,280
Speaker 1: That's a contract extension eight years. He's good. He can't

1556
01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:51,120
Speaker 1: take it older. You got ten seconds to react. Go.

1557
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:52,840
Speaker 1: I think it's good that he wants to be here,

1558
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:55,599
Speaker 1: knowing that was as tough as it was last year.

1559
01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:57,320
Speaker 1: They're going to build something. He wants to be part

1560
01:16:57,320 --> 01:16:59,479
Speaker 1: of it. All right, we're breaking, We're coming back. Ken Dorsey.

Speaker 1: go today? What'd you get done today? It was good,

1573
01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:37,559
Speaker 1: It was good. We had a lot of you know,

1574
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:40,599
Speaker 1: different situations. We you know, playing some games and things

1575
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:42,600
Speaker 1: like that out there with them and put them in

1576
01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:46,479
Speaker 1: some different scenarios, stress them a little bit and things

1577
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:49,080
Speaker 1: like that. Put a little pressure on the guys and

1578
01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:51,639
Speaker 1: and just you know, try to make sure we're we're

1579
01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:54,760
Speaker 1: acting the right way so that when those situations come

1580
01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:57,679
Speaker 1: up in game time, it's second nature and we've already practiced.

1581
01:17:57,760 --> 01:17:59,599
Speaker 1: So you said you're stressing them. Is there any concern

1582
01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:01,720
Speaker 1: you guys are working them too hard? Because how you know,

1583
01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:04,240
Speaker 1: what's the level of angst on the coaching staff by

1584
01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:06,599
Speaker 1: all the guys being hurt? Well, I think, you know, uh,

1585
01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:09,160
Speaker 1: we try to make sure we're practicing the right way,

1586
01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:11,559
Speaker 1: and that's that's a big emphasis for us. And we're

1587
01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:14,880
Speaker 1: trying to do everything, you know, as best we can do,

1588
01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:17,759
Speaker 1: you know, and and making sure we're flying around playing

1589
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:20,240
Speaker 1: you know, the playing smart and that's always been you know,

1590
01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:23,120
Speaker 1: the emphasis for us for since day one, So we're

1591
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:25,040
Speaker 1: going to continue to focus on that and make sure,

1592
01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:27,479
Speaker 1: you know, we're practicing the right way so we could

1593
01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:29,400
Speaker 1: train the right way in the season because it's it's

1594
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:31,439
Speaker 1: a long year and that's a big stress for us.

1595
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:33,559
Speaker 1: Ken you had what five years with the Panthers right

1596
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:35,960
Speaker 1: as quarterbacks coach there and then last year you were

1597
01:18:36,240 --> 01:18:38,960
Speaker 1: working at Florida International University. But we did you have

1598
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 1: your eye on the league? Were you looking for another

1599
01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:43,280
Speaker 1: place to be quarterback coaches? You know, in this profession,

1600
01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:45,280
Speaker 1: you just never know. You know, you just always kind

1601
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:48,559
Speaker 1: of kind of are trying to make sure you're in

1602
01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:50,960
Speaker 1: a good position, good good spot. And that's why I'm

1603
01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:54,160
Speaker 1: very thankful to be here because obviously with the front

1604
01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:56,240
Speaker 1: office we have the head coach that we have and

1605
01:18:56,280 --> 01:18:58,680
Speaker 1: the coaching staff and players that we have, it's a

1606
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:01,120
Speaker 1: very exciting place to be for me. So, you know,

1607
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:04,000
Speaker 1: this profession, you just never know what's going to happen,

1608
01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:06,200
Speaker 1: and um, you know that that came up for me

1609
01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:08,960
Speaker 1: in Carolina and I'm very excited to be here and

1610
01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:11,040
Speaker 1: everything worked out for the best at the end of

1611
01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:12,920
Speaker 1: the day. So what do you think of Josh Allen

1612
01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:15,479
Speaker 1: Josh been great. I mean, obviously, you know, he's got

1613
01:19:15,600 --> 01:19:18,080
Speaker 1: all those physical tools and everything like that that everybody

1614
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:19,960
Speaker 1: talks about. But the thing I've been really impressed with

1615
01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:22,840
Speaker 1: is just the intelligence and how smart he is from

1616
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:25,040
Speaker 1: not you know, really knowing him that well or anything

1617
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:29,240
Speaker 1: like that kind of come before coming here. Very intelligent,

1618
01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:32,040
Speaker 1: hard worker, you know, studies the game, puts in a

1619
01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:35,120
Speaker 1: lot of time, you know, and a great leader, and

1620
01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:37,960
Speaker 1: I think all those traits are you know, what make

1621
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:40,600
Speaker 1: him you know, uh, you know, are hopefully going to

1622
01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:43,400
Speaker 1: continue to grow and continue to get better. Can You

1623
01:19:43,439 --> 01:19:49,040
Speaker 1: were immensely successful college quarterback, National championship, et cetera, and

1624
01:19:49,080 --> 01:19:51,200
Speaker 1: you had a different skill set than Josh Allen. Does

1625
01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:53,320
Speaker 1: that make it easy for you to kind of translate

1626
01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:56,200
Speaker 1: what you did to be a success to what Josh needs. Well,

1627
01:19:56,240 --> 01:19:58,960
Speaker 1: I think, uh, you know, as as a coach, you

1628
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:01,880
Speaker 1: always every players a little bit different, and Josh is

1629
01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:04,200
Speaker 1: going to be different than Matt Barkley, then is going

1630
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:06,960
Speaker 1: to be different than Tyree Jackson. So you know, every

1631
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:08,920
Speaker 1: guy's gonna be be different. So you've got to be

1632
01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:11,320
Speaker 1: able to kind of work with those guys and adjust

1633
01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:14,519
Speaker 1: and um, you know, kind of focus on certain things

1634
01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:16,799
Speaker 1: and knowing, hey, this guy might be a little bit different,

1635
01:20:16,800 --> 01:20:18,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna focus on some different things with him, and

1636
01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:20,760
Speaker 1: that's that's part of the fun of coaching, to be

1637
01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:23,479
Speaker 1: perfectly honest. Yeah, one of the things that comes up,

1638
01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:26,120
Speaker 1: and how do you use a guy like Josh and

1639
01:20:26,240 --> 01:20:28,880
Speaker 1: do what he does mess is how much of that

1640
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:32,000
Speaker 1: goes into what you practice, the players you put in,

1641
01:20:32,360 --> 01:20:34,760
Speaker 1: you tailor anything around Josh's abilities. Well, he's got this

1642
01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:37,160
Speaker 1: big ability, this big arm and all these legs. You

1643
01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:39,120
Speaker 1: didn't want him running with it, but that's actually one

1644
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:41,000
Speaker 1: of the things he does well is too So how

1645
01:20:41,040 --> 01:20:42,920
Speaker 1: do you balance that? Well, I think we're always going

1646
01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:44,960
Speaker 1: to make sure that that we're trying to make, um,

1647
01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:47,360
Speaker 1: you know, not handcuff him, let him play to his

1648
01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:50,280
Speaker 1: strengths and would make him a special football player. Um,

1649
01:20:50,600 --> 01:20:52,479
Speaker 1: you know, so we never want to really kind of

1650
01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:54,200
Speaker 1: put the handcuffs on him. But at the same time,

1651
01:20:54,200 --> 01:20:55,920
Speaker 1: we want to make sure we're being smart and we're

1652
01:20:56,040 --> 01:20:59,400
Speaker 1: you know, again, it's a long, a long season. But

1653
01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:01,559
Speaker 1: also you know, he's only your two of his career

1654
01:21:01,560 --> 01:21:04,360
Speaker 1: and we want him to have a long and great career.

1655
01:21:04,479 --> 01:21:06,559
Speaker 1: So you know, we'll always be smart with what we're

1656
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:08,880
Speaker 1: doing with them, but at the same time not not

1657
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:11,760
Speaker 1: handcuffing him. Make sure you know, we never want to

1658
01:21:11,760 --> 01:21:14,559
Speaker 1: take away what makes him special. You've only had a

1659
01:21:14,600 --> 01:21:16,760
Speaker 1: less than two months right to work directly with JOHNH.

1660
01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:19,360
Speaker 1: She Hall in April fifteenth. I think players came back here.

1661
01:21:19,439 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 1: I wonder how you apportion time between schematics. This is

1662
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:25,639
Speaker 1: when our offense looks like this is these are you reads,

1663
01:21:25,680 --> 01:21:27,479
Speaker 1: This is what we want you to think about, and

1664
01:21:27,760 --> 01:21:29,760
Speaker 1: mechanics right now we want you to set up this

1665
01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:30,920
Speaker 1: is how we want you to throw the ball. How

1666
01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 1: do you balance that out? Well, I think that's that's

1667
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:35,320
Speaker 1: a great thing. The way, you know, coach McDermott sets

1668
01:21:35,360 --> 01:21:38,760
Speaker 1: up practice is, you know, during those individual periods, during

1669
01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:40,920
Speaker 1: those special teams periods when we're not you know, on

1670
01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 1: teams or anything like that, we could really focus and

1671
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 1: lock in on some mechanics stuff and do drill work

1672
01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:48,040
Speaker 1: and and UH and make sure we're we're fine tuning

1673
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:51,000
Speaker 1: and getting better at those things. And then in the uh,

1674
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:54,479
Speaker 1: the team periods and the install periods where it's you know,

1675
01:21:54,920 --> 01:21:59,080
Speaker 1: it's um our players, you know, going against a defense

1676
01:21:59,200 --> 01:22:01,559
Speaker 1: or going on air. Now we're focusing more on schemes.

1677
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:04,680
Speaker 1: So it's a good, you know, good balance of have

1678
01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:07,920
Speaker 1: enough time to go those individual periods and have enough

1679
01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:10,120
Speaker 1: time to go those those team periods and focus on

1680
01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:12,639
Speaker 1: X and os. You're the quarterbacks coach, so you're directly

1681
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:15,400
Speaker 1: sitting in the room with Josh and stuff, but Brian

1682
01:22:15,479 --> 01:22:19,680
Speaker 1: Dayball installs everything stuff. You're kind of a liaison between Josh,

1683
01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:22,759
Speaker 1: between the coordinator and how do you facilitate that balance

1684
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:24,439
Speaker 1: in that new because there's got to be some tension

1685
01:22:24,479 --> 01:22:27,280
Speaker 1: there between what Brian Daboll wants to do this week

1686
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:29,519
Speaker 1: and what Josh feels comfortable doing. You're kind of the

1687
01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:31,960
Speaker 1: guy that mediates that relationship, right Well, yeah, and a

1688
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:35,080
Speaker 1: lot of times I think that's what makes coach day

1689
01:22:35,080 --> 01:22:37,800
Speaker 1: Ball great is that, Hey, you know, we're gonna make

1690
01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:40,439
Speaker 1: sure we're tailoring to, you know, what each guy does

1691
01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:43,679
Speaker 1: well because you know, like I said, Josh's skill set

1692
01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:45,840
Speaker 1: is going to be very different than Matt if Matt

1693
01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:48,519
Speaker 1: had to play, So we're going to do different things potentially,

1694
01:22:48,520 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 1: but at the same time, we're also going to keep

1695
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:52,800
Speaker 1: the core base for our offense, which everybody's pretty comfortable with.

1696
01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:54,920
Speaker 1: Can we want to cut you loose. You got meetings

1697
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:56,639
Speaker 1: to go to. But yes, sir, give us a sense

1698
01:22:56,680 --> 01:22:58,400
Speaker 1: of what these meetings are like. You're going to look

1699
01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:01,000
Speaker 1: at video from today's practice, right, what are you looking for? Yeah,

1700
01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:03,040
Speaker 1: so we're just gonna go back and watch the tape

1701
01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:05,120
Speaker 1: and make sure you know we're we're you know, doing

1702
01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:07,799
Speaker 1: the right things one from an X and O standpoint,

1703
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:10,280
Speaker 1: but also from a technique standpoint. And that's where that

1704
01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:13,240
Speaker 1: that aspect comes in as well, because you never want

1705
01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:15,120
Speaker 1: class over the technique. You always want to make sure

1706
01:23:15,160 --> 01:23:17,240
Speaker 1: you're doing the right things from a technique standpoint because

1707
01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:18,599
Speaker 1: that's going to help you win games in the fourth

1708
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:21,360
Speaker 1: quarter when you're tired. Um, so we're we're gonna, you know,

1709
01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:23,599
Speaker 1: focus on both aspects of it and make sure we're

1710
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:26,280
Speaker 1: in good, good shape both ways. One thing that you know,

1711
01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:28,280
Speaker 1: we get so enamored with what you're doing now because

1712
01:23:28,320 --> 01:23:30,120
Speaker 1: it's kind of fund is first football we've seen since

1713
01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:32,920
Speaker 1: the offseason. You've got guys injured. How important is it

1714
01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:35,360
Speaker 1: to you know you start with this stuff in mini

1715
01:23:35,439 --> 01:23:38,320
Speaker 1: camp and OTAs and all that. How much can you

1716
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:39,880
Speaker 1: make if you can't don't have a chance to lay

1717
01:23:39,880 --> 01:23:42,800
Speaker 1: a foundation? How far behind are you later on and

1718
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:45,200
Speaker 1: laying that foundation when you got nineteen guys heard and

1719
01:23:45,240 --> 01:23:46,680
Speaker 1: you can't run your offense the way you want it

1720
01:23:46,680 --> 01:23:48,960
Speaker 1: because the offense a line. Well then and that's where

1721
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:50,479
Speaker 1: you know, we've got to make sure we're doing a

1722
01:23:50,520 --> 01:23:52,960
Speaker 1: good job and meeting rooms and and uh, you know

1723
01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:55,400
Speaker 1: walkthroughs when we have and and if those guys can

1724
01:23:55,439 --> 01:23:58,960
Speaker 1: participate in those and m communicate, I think that's a

1725
01:23:59,760 --> 01:24:03,360
Speaker 1: you know, underdeveloped skill. You know sometimes between guys is

1726
01:24:03,400 --> 01:24:05,639
Speaker 1: just hey, you know, even if he's hurt, when he's

1727
01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:08,080
Speaker 1: out there watching, you know, making sure Josh is talking

1728
01:24:08,120 --> 01:24:10,920
Speaker 1: to those guys or um, you know they're talking to

1729
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:13,679
Speaker 1: the you know, their fellow you know, teammates up front

1730
01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:16,800
Speaker 1: or whatever it is. I think that communication makes up

1731
01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:19,599
Speaker 1: for a lot of a lot of those that time

1732
01:24:19,600 --> 01:24:21,640
Speaker 1: missed a lot of times. Again, thanks for this. Can

1733
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:24,320
Speaker 1: we get you in here sometime anytime? Anytime time? No, yeah,

1734
01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:26,599

1754
01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:32,200
Speaker 1: got a lot of rave reviews on Embedded last year. Right,

1755
01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:34,439
Speaker 1: did they win a they won an Emmy? I think

1756
01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:37,080
Speaker 1: for Embedded last year. I believe they did. No it

1757
01:25:37,160 --> 01:25:40,439
Speaker 1: was another show. It was another show, but award winning production.

1758

Speaker 1: It's an award winning production for show embtted. It's how

1763
01:25:56,400 --> 01:25:59,800
Speaker 1: it's day one of mini camp. It's also now there's

1764
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:01,280
Speaker 1: two two days left, you know what I mean? You

1765
01:26:01,320 --> 01:26:03,439
Speaker 1: can feel it right, there's a deadline coming up, and

1766
01:26:03,479 --> 01:26:06,800
Speaker 1: it comes up Thursday when when Mini camp ends, boom

1767
01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:09,679
Speaker 1: players out of here for about well, the rookies stay,

1768
01:26:09,760 --> 01:26:11,240
Speaker 1: but the vendors are out of here for about six

1769
01:26:11,280 --> 01:26:13,720
Speaker 1: weeks until training camp comes. And that as much as

1770
01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:15,960
Speaker 1: they're getting worked one this week, it kind of drives

1771
01:26:15,960 --> 01:26:19,200
Speaker 1: the week. I think, the knowledge that this thing's winding down.

1772
01:26:19,240 --> 01:26:22,040
Speaker 1: We're almost in Rochester. I spoke to Josh Alan yesterday

1773
01:26:22,040 --> 01:26:23,639
Speaker 1: and I said, what's you know, what's the difference between

1774
01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:25,880
Speaker 1: these OTAs and now this mini camp? He goes, Yeah,

1775
01:26:25,920 --> 01:26:27,880
Speaker 1: we get time, we get more meeting time, we get

1776
01:26:27,920 --> 01:26:29,920
Speaker 1: more time to be in the building, more time to

1777
01:26:29,960 --> 01:26:32,080
Speaker 1: sit with the coaches, I can stay out after practice

1778
01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:34,640
Speaker 1: and work with the guys. All that's illegal, you know.

1779
01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:36,800
Speaker 1: It's it's funny how, you know, the little nuances of

1780
01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:38,640
Speaker 1: the players are like, man, I want to do that,

1781
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:40,720
Speaker 1: you know, and they and they're they're hamstrung by the

1782
01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:42,519
Speaker 1: rules and not being able to do everything they want

1783
01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:46,160
Speaker 1: to do, and and this mini camp kind of opens

1784
01:26:46,160 --> 01:26:48,080
Speaker 1: it up for them to like, all right, now let's

1785
01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:49,400
Speaker 1: do this. You know. They get to do a little

1786
01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:51,920
Speaker 1: bit of what they really craved to do on their

1787
01:26:51,920 --> 01:26:54,040
Speaker 1: own that they're not allowed by the rules. So it's, uh, yeah,

1788
01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:56,280
Speaker 1: it's a different atmosphere, no question. Because I want to

1789
01:26:56,320 --> 01:26:58,760
Speaker 1: talk more to coach Dorsey, and he's got an amazing

1790
01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:02,880
Speaker 1: story about college football. Steve he was the man pretty

1791
01:27:02,920 --> 01:27:06,240
Speaker 1: inter see in Miami right one one national championship played

1792
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:10,000
Speaker 1: and lost in another one. He played with great players

1793
01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:12,559
Speaker 1: both at Miami and in the NFL. Spent time in

1794
01:27:12,600 --> 01:27:15,240
Speaker 1: the NFL with Cleveland. He played with Frank Gore for

1795
01:27:15,280 --> 01:27:17,960
Speaker 1: a while in San Francisco. This guy, he's got a

1796
01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:21,639
Speaker 1: long resume that we just barely skipped over today because

1797
01:27:21,840 --> 01:27:24,040
Speaker 1: he's in a hurry to go watch video with today's practice.

1798
01:27:24,080 --> 01:27:25,880
Speaker 1: I don't blame him. You got to watch that video,

1799
01:27:25,960 --> 01:27:28,599
Speaker 1: grade that video and come up with teaching points I

1800
01:27:28,640 --> 01:27:32,200
Speaker 1: assume for either today meetings here at one Bill Driver

1801
01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:34,800
Speaker 1: or certainly tomorrow morning to review what went on out there. Yeah,

1802
01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:41,519
Speaker 1: it was today. He was thirty eight and two, an

1803
01:27:41,520 --> 01:27:45,120
Speaker 1: amazing career. Didn't pan out in the NFL is awesome.

1804
01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:47,680
Speaker 1: And here's the thing which I find this interesting too,

1805
01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:51,120
Speaker 1: and we glossed over it because of time restrictions, But

1806
01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:54,320
Speaker 1: his skill set was nothing like Josh Allen's. Right, He

1807
01:27:54,600 --> 01:27:56,600
Speaker 1: clearly lasted until deep in the draft. What do you

1808
01:27:56,640 --> 01:27:58,760
Speaker 1: have it in front of Where was the sixth seventh rounder? Yeah,

1809
01:27:58,800 --> 01:28:02,479
Speaker 1: he was San Francisco. I believe because of his arm strength.

1810
01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:04,760
Speaker 1: He didn't have a great arm strength. Here he got

1811
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:08,360
Speaker 1: his quarterback. Now, Josh Allen is mister arm strength. And

1812
01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:11,960
Speaker 1: Josh also has the smarts and the hard work ethic

1813
01:28:12,040 --> 01:28:15,040
Speaker 1: that I'm sure Ken Dorsey appreciates. But the way those

1814
01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:16,680
Speaker 1: two put that together, I think it's going to be

1815
01:28:16,720 --> 01:28:20,160
Speaker 1: a fascinating case study today. I really do. Yeah, it's

1816
01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:23,280
Speaker 1: He was a finalist twice for the hell of for

1817
01:28:23,320 --> 01:28:27,720
Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy seventh round of the two seventh round

1818
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:30,280
Speaker 1: seventh round stuck around the league for I think too

1819
01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:32,720
Speaker 1: though that some things Ken Dorsey, the things that he

1820
01:28:32,760 --> 01:28:35,120
Speaker 1: did well or exactly what Josh needs to have taught

1821
01:28:35,160 --> 01:28:38,200
Speaker 1: to him, and Josh Allen reversed would be the kind

1822
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:40,800
Speaker 1: of athlete that Ken Dorsey always wanted and needed to

1823
01:28:40,840 --> 01:28:43,080
Speaker 1: be to take advantage of all the things that he

1824
01:28:43,120 --> 01:28:45,840
Speaker 1: did well. So it's it's one of those coach player

1825
01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:49,400
Speaker 1: coach relationships that's kind of they compliment each other and

1826
01:28:49,439 --> 01:28:52,639
Speaker 1: the strength of one are what the other one needs.

1827
01:28:52,720 --> 01:28:56,799
Speaker 1: And Ken Dorsey of course doesn't need the athletic athleticism

1828
01:28:56,960 --> 01:28:59,120
Speaker 1: or the arm of Josh Allen, but he does know

1829
01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:01,679
Speaker 1: that in the situation, that's what I wish I would

1830
01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:04,000
Speaker 1: have had. So I've got a guy here throw that,

1831
01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:06,360
Speaker 1: you know. So he's got that kind of ability to

1832
01:29:06,400 --> 01:29:10,080
Speaker 1: see in himself and in Josh Allen what a complete

1833
01:29:10,120 --> 01:29:12,280
Speaker 1: and whole quarterback would be and coach him up on it.

1834
01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:15,839
Speaker 1: He really took the tech the place of Derek Anderson

1835
01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:18,479
Speaker 1: from a year ago. Derek Anderson was the wily veteran

1836
01:29:18,479 --> 01:29:20,240
Speaker 1: the guy came in and then Ken Dorsey's the same

1837
01:29:20,280 --> 01:29:24,160
Speaker 1: kind of mentality. Dorsey worked five years with Cam Newton

1838
01:29:24,160 --> 01:29:27,559
Speaker 1: in Carolina his quarterbacks coach, and I think because of that,

1839
01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:31,040
Speaker 1: there's a lot. I think it's kind of overstated, is

1840
01:29:31,080 --> 01:29:32,640
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to say. People want to tell you

1841
01:29:32,680 --> 01:29:36,360
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen is just like Cam Newton, and Dorsey

1842
01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:38,439
Speaker 1: can use the same things he did with Cam Newton.

1843
01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:40,519
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the case. I really don't.

1844
01:29:40,720 --> 01:29:43,960
Speaker 1: I think there's a little bit more polish. I think, look,

1845
01:29:44,120 --> 01:29:46,720
Speaker 1: Cam Newton superior athlete now and when he came out

1846
01:29:46,760 --> 01:29:48,320
Speaker 1: in the league. But I feel like there's a little

1847
01:29:48,360 --> 01:29:50,479
Speaker 1: more polished with Josh Allen than there was with Cam

1848
01:29:50,479 --> 01:29:53,439
Speaker 1: Newton when they were at their similar spots in their career.

1849
01:29:53,560 --> 01:29:56,839
Speaker 1: One year in. You know, Cam Newton was freakishly athletic.

1850
01:29:56,880 --> 01:29:59,599
Speaker 1: He still is and big, and Josh is as big

1851
01:29:59,640 --> 01:30:02,080
Speaker 1: as you and maybe a little bigger than someone. But

1852
01:30:02,120 --> 01:30:05,599
Speaker 1: I also think he plays it different than Cam Newton.

1853
01:30:05,640 --> 01:30:07,040
Speaker 1: That's what I'm trying to say. I'm not saying this

1854
01:30:07,120 --> 01:30:09,439
Speaker 1: very well. Every player, even if they look the same,

1855
01:30:09,520 --> 01:30:12,080
Speaker 1: have the same style. They're all different. Yeah, they're very different.

1856
01:30:12,360 --> 01:30:14,600
Speaker 1: The way they see the game is different, the way

1857
01:30:14,240 --> 01:30:17,479
Speaker 1: the things they find important or different. You got to

1858
01:30:17,520 --> 01:30:21,479
Speaker 1: coach the meats individually as particularly at that position. So yeah,

1859
01:30:21,520 --> 01:30:25,120
Speaker 1: while there are some similarities between Josh Allen and Cam Newton,

1860
01:30:25,520 --> 01:30:28,840
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the real I think that's not

1861
01:30:29,080 --> 01:30:33,080
Speaker 1: the Lion's share of the reason Ken Dorsey was hired.

1862
01:30:33,280 --> 01:30:36,519
Speaker 1: I don't. I think Ken Dorsey was hired because Sean

1863
01:30:36,640 --> 01:30:40,040
Speaker 1: McDermott saw him coach and was in the room with

1864
01:30:40,120 --> 01:30:44,080
Speaker 1: him when they were doing personnel evaluations in Carolina. He

1865
01:30:44,080 --> 01:30:46,439
Speaker 1: heard what Ken Dorsey said about Cam Newton and the

1866
01:30:46,479 --> 01:30:49,240
Speaker 1: other players on the roster. He saw the results of

1867
01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:52,080
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey's coaching on Cam Newton. He not that he

1868
01:30:52,120 --> 01:30:55,080
Speaker 1: was coaching Cam Newton specifically, but the kind of coach

1869
01:30:55,120 --> 01:30:57,800
Speaker 1: he was, his work ethic, the way he interacted with

1870
01:30:57,840 --> 01:30:59,559
Speaker 1: the rest of the staff. I think the fact that

1871
01:30:59,600 --> 01:31:01,800
Speaker 1: he knows the kind of coach Ken Dorsey is and

1872
01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:04,800
Speaker 1: what he wants out of coaching, and what Ken Dorsey's

1873
01:31:04,800 --> 01:31:08,280
Speaker 1: story is like. That's why Ken Dorsey was hired is

1874
01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:11,040
Speaker 1: because Sean McDermott had experience with him on his staff

1875
01:31:11,080 --> 01:31:14,240
Speaker 1: in Carolina and saw the results and liked what he saw.

1876
01:31:14,560 --> 01:31:18,439
Speaker 1: It's not about him getting the opportunity to coach Cam Newton.

1877
01:31:18,880 --> 01:31:21,000
Speaker 1: I agree, Hey, We got another hour to go. We're

1929
01:34:02,080 --> 01:34:06,960

1935
01:34:22,840 --> 01:34:24,560
Speaker 1: we both stayed up late. Did you watch to the

1936
01:34:24,680 --> 01:34:26,400
Speaker 1: end of the game last night the NBA? I did,

1937
01:34:26,479 --> 01:34:28,560
Speaker 1: and I thought, I thought the Raptors were going to

1938
01:34:28,640 --> 01:34:31,160
Speaker 1: pull it off right at the ends, six six point lead,

1939
01:34:31,200 --> 01:34:34,400
Speaker 1: three minutes to go. I didn't. I don't know if

1940
01:34:34,400 --> 01:34:37,080
Speaker 1: you were watching it. I heard this afterwards. I didn't

1941
01:34:37,120 --> 01:34:40,559
Speaker 1: notice the time out that was called by the Raptors

1942
01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:42,840
Speaker 1: or three minutes ago when they had the ball. I

1943
01:34:42,880 --> 01:34:44,880
Speaker 1: didn't notice that as being a backbreaker, like a lot

1944
01:34:44,920 --> 01:34:46,680
Speaker 1: of people that there was a really weird time out,

1945
01:34:46,680 --> 01:34:48,280
Speaker 1: and they were like, what do you do? And they

1946
01:34:48,280 --> 01:34:49,960
Speaker 1: were hot, they had it going and you called a

1947
01:34:50,040 --> 01:34:54,519
Speaker 1: time out. You know, certainly Kawhi Leonard had taken a

1948
01:34:54,600 --> 01:34:57,080
Speaker 1: game over. He scored ten straight points, two threes and

1949
01:34:58,360 --> 01:35:00,400
Speaker 1: or eight straight points or ten straight it was two

1950
01:35:00,400 --> 01:35:04,080
Speaker 1: threes and two twos, and they had they had going on.

1951
01:35:04,120 --> 01:35:07,240
Speaker 1: They had grabbed that lead from Golden State, who had

1952
01:35:07,280 --> 01:35:09,080
Speaker 1: held the lead for all but fifty seconds of the

1953
01:35:09,080 --> 01:35:12,679
Speaker 1: whole game. And then they, you know, the Toronto Raptors

1954
01:35:12,680 --> 01:35:14,000
Speaker 1: took a time out and everybody said, wow, it was

1955
01:35:14,040 --> 01:35:17,960
Speaker 1: a crusher. And I didn't even notice that. That's what

1956
01:35:18,040 --> 01:35:19,840
Speaker 1: I thought to Look, they had I think three at

1957
01:35:19,880 --> 01:35:22,880
Speaker 1: least three maybe four timeouts. They had three minutes left

1958
01:35:22,880 --> 01:35:25,240
Speaker 1: to play. The game was nowhere near being over, and

1959
01:35:25,600 --> 01:35:27,880
Speaker 1: Nick Nurse, the coach, said, I thought we retired. I

1960
01:35:27,920 --> 01:35:29,880
Speaker 1: thought we needed a break. I get that. I think

1961
01:35:30,080 --> 01:35:33,639
Speaker 1: momentum can be overplayed. Yes, Kawhi Leonard was on fire, um,

1962
01:35:33,680 --> 01:35:36,120
Speaker 1: and it looked like they were in command. But look,

1963
01:35:36,120 --> 01:35:38,920
Speaker 1: you got a championship caliber team on the other side there,

1964
01:35:39,200 --> 01:35:41,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You got great players and

1965
01:35:41,240 --> 01:35:43,720
Speaker 1: it's not just Steph Curry. You got great players on

1966
01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:46,880
Speaker 1: the Warriors team on the floor at that point, they

1967
01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:48,800
Speaker 1: weren't going down without a fight. And I thought, I

1968
01:35:48,840 --> 01:35:52,080
Speaker 1: thought it was a compelling, gritty, tough matchup. I love

1969
01:35:52,120 --> 01:35:54,240
Speaker 1: that game last night. It wasn't a work of art,

1970
01:35:54,280 --> 01:35:57,080
Speaker 1: but I thought it was compelling, really fun to watch. Um.

1971
01:35:57,200 --> 01:36:00,559
Speaker 1: But yeah, second guessing the bounds about that time out? Okay, whatever,

1972
01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:02,599
Speaker 1: if you want to pick at it, go ahead. Second

1973
01:36:02,600 --> 01:36:07,040
Speaker 1: guessing the bounds. Uh, you know about even playing Kevin Durant,

1974
01:36:07,040 --> 01:36:09,080
Speaker 1: Should they have played him? And did somebody force him

1975
01:36:09,080 --> 01:36:11,200
Speaker 1: into the line up? I don't think so. Right, They've

1976
01:36:11,200 --> 01:36:14,120
Speaker 1: gotten medical people, they've got the best medical people. They

1977
01:36:14,120 --> 01:36:16,880
Speaker 1: he didn't play and from May ninth until last night,

1978
01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:19,559
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant, um, if you tell me you know you

1979
01:36:19,600 --> 01:36:22,280
Speaker 1: can predict that if somebody popping in Achilles, you can

1980
01:36:22,320 --> 01:36:25,679
Speaker 1: predict that, Please let us know, because that would be um.

1981
01:36:25,720 --> 01:36:28,400
Speaker 1: That would be valuable information for anybody to have. Kevin

1982
01:36:28,479 --> 01:36:30,840
Speaker 1: Durant was great at the start of the game, looked healthy,

1983
01:36:30,880 --> 01:36:34,360
Speaker 1: good enough to dance pre tip off. He dominated really

1984
01:36:34,400 --> 01:36:36,519
Speaker 1: the first quarter, got hurt with two or three minutes

1985
01:36:36,560 --> 01:36:39,479
Speaker 1: into the second quarter. I would not second guess him

1986
01:36:39,479 --> 01:36:41,639
Speaker 1: on that at all. I wouldn't second guess him at all.

1987
01:36:41,920 --> 01:36:45,439
Speaker 1: And yeah, I thought the Raptors when Leonard went off

1988
01:36:45,439 --> 01:36:47,760
Speaker 1: on that ten point spree, I thought, Okay, this is it.

1989
01:36:47,920 --> 01:36:50,640
Speaker 1: Len's gonna be MVP. Raptors are gonna win. But no,

1990
01:36:50,880 --> 01:36:54,240
Speaker 1: that's a championship caliber mindset that the Golden State Warriors having.

1991
01:36:54,280 --> 01:36:57,719
Speaker 1: They showed it last night. State Kevin Durants a champion.

1992
01:36:57,720 --> 01:36:59,720
Speaker 1: He played like a champion when he was in there,

1993
01:36:59,760 --> 01:37:01,640
Speaker 1: and he tried to come back and battle like a

1994
01:37:01,720 --> 01:37:03,519
Speaker 1: champion and his body just wouldn't let him do it.

1995
01:37:03,520 --> 01:37:05,200
Speaker 1: He tried to come back too early. Here's no question.

1996
01:37:05,280 --> 01:37:07,880
Speaker 1: Now he's got a serious injury. Somebody's saying he's got

1997
01:37:07,880 --> 01:37:12,760
Speaker 1: an a Killes injury. That's bad. Uh. And but you

1998
01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:14,360
Speaker 1: got to tip your hat to the guy from wanting

1999
01:37:14,400 --> 01:37:17,920
Speaker 1: to play. Sure it was And there's no question at

2000
01:37:17,920 --> 01:37:21,840
Speaker 1: the time when you know they were down three to

2001
01:37:21,960 --> 01:37:24,639
Speaker 1: one in this series. If he doesn't play and give

2002
01:37:24,640 --> 01:37:26,240
Speaker 1: them that lift last night, and then maybe they don't

2003
01:37:26,240 --> 01:37:28,000
Speaker 1: have what it takes to come back and they don't

2004
01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:30,160
Speaker 1: win that game. His points early in the game, you know,

2005
01:37:30,280 --> 01:37:32,400
Speaker 1: obviously it was a one point game. They turned out

2006
01:37:32,400 --> 01:37:34,280
Speaker 1: to be as good big a difference as anybody else.

2007
01:37:36,680 --> 01:37:39,800
Speaker 1: What you got to really really tip your hat to him.

2008
01:37:39,840 --> 01:37:41,479
Speaker 1: He wanted to play as a guy didn't have to.

2009
01:37:41,600 --> 01:37:44,599
Speaker 1: He's due to make a ton of got a ton

2010
01:37:44,680 --> 01:37:47,040
Speaker 1: at steak and laid it on the line for this team.

2011
01:37:47,040 --> 01:37:49,200
Speaker 1: I was. I was really impressed with him. I was

2012
01:37:49,240 --> 01:37:52,320
Speaker 1: really impressed with the Warriors. They're not my favorite team

2013
01:37:52,360 --> 01:37:55,960
Speaker 1: in the NBA, but they are. They are a great team.

2014
01:37:56,000 --> 01:38:00,599
Speaker 1: They're great champions, and they're they ain't gone without a fight. Yeah,

2015
01:38:00,600 --> 01:38:05,240
Speaker 1: And uh, I just you know, it's been a great series.

2016
01:38:05,240 --> 01:38:08,639
Speaker 1: I said this yesterday. These NBA playoffs have been a blast.

2017
01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:10,320
Speaker 1: You gotta watch it. Let you think it back to

2018
01:38:10,360 --> 01:38:13,840
Speaker 1: that Houston series. No, No, No, the Philadelphia series when

2019
01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:18,439
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard hits the four bounce buzzer beater when he's

2020
01:38:18,439 --> 01:38:20,679
Speaker 1: in the corner, almost in the crowd after he lets

2021
01:38:20,720 --> 01:38:24,040
Speaker 1: it go and the thing bounces four times before it

2022
01:38:24,080 --> 01:38:29,000
Speaker 1: goes in to win the series. It's been unbelievable this run.

2023
01:38:29,240 --> 01:38:32,160
Speaker 1: And that's just that's just the Raptors. There's other teams

2024
01:38:32,160 --> 01:38:34,760
Speaker 1: that have had great moments through these. It's been fun.

2025
01:38:34,960 --> 01:38:38,559
Speaker 1: A lot of chatter today, a lot of talk show chatter,

2026
01:38:38,640 --> 01:38:42,040
Speaker 1: a lot of Internet chatter, Twitter chatter about the reaction

2027
01:38:42,080 --> 01:38:45,240
Speaker 1: of the Toronto crowd when Kevin Durant got hurt. Look

2028
01:38:45,280 --> 01:38:47,599
Speaker 1: that had that's that's not a Toronto thing. That would

2029
01:38:47,600 --> 01:38:51,719
Speaker 1: happen virtually anywhere. It is poor sportsmanship. It didn't last

2030
01:38:51,800 --> 01:38:54,080
Speaker 1: very long. It was great to see not just the

2031
01:38:54,080 --> 01:38:57,240
Speaker 1: Golden State players, but the Toronto players try to discourage

2032
01:38:57,240 --> 01:38:59,160
Speaker 1: the crowd. I mean Toronto players are waving them off

2033
01:38:59,160 --> 01:39:01,799
Speaker 1: and said, come on, don't do that. The Raptors players

2034
01:39:02,560 --> 01:39:05,280
Speaker 1: made a point of kind of escorting Kevin Durant off

2035
01:39:05,280 --> 01:39:09,880
Speaker 1: the floor. Yeah, that'll happen. It's unfortunate you know, I'm

2036
01:39:09,920 --> 01:39:11,800
Speaker 1: not gonna go go off on what's wrong with those

2037
01:39:11,840 --> 01:39:14,400
Speaker 1: Toronto people. It would happen in a lot of places. Unfortunately,

2038
01:39:14,640 --> 01:39:17,280
Speaker 1: it's a mistake when it happens. But last long. It

2039
01:39:17,320 --> 01:39:20,599
Speaker 1: did not last long. And I think once they realized hey, wow,

2040
01:39:20,680 --> 01:39:22,599
Speaker 1: this is you know, I think it did subside very

2041
01:39:22,680 --> 01:39:25,599
Speaker 1: quickly and they were like, hey, wait and um and

2042
01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:28,200
Speaker 1: they reacted the proper way after the initial reaction of wow,

2043
01:39:28,240 --> 01:39:30,200
Speaker 1: that's a break for us kind of thing. So I

2044
01:39:30,600 --> 01:39:32,320
Speaker 1: wasn't I didn't make too much out of that either.

2045
01:39:33,200 --> 01:39:36,120
Speaker 1: It's unfortunately it's the world which we live. But once

2046
01:39:36,160 --> 01:39:38,080
Speaker 1: I think, you know, they helped him up and he

2047
01:39:38,080 --> 01:39:41,519
Speaker 1: started to walk off, and they realized, you know, forget

2048
01:39:41,560 --> 01:39:43,759
Speaker 1: about this series. You're looking at one of the truly

2049
01:39:43,760 --> 01:39:45,599
Speaker 1: great players in the league who kind of came out

2050
01:39:45,680 --> 01:39:47,000
Speaker 1: later on the line. I think they appreciated it. I

2051
01:39:47,200 --> 01:39:48,920
Speaker 1: don't think there's any question about it. But one more thing.

2052
01:39:49,120 --> 01:39:50,760
Speaker 1: It's a bad moment. But that's all it was bad.

2053
01:39:50,760 --> 01:39:52,360
Speaker 1: It didn't last. That's all it was as a moment.

2054
01:39:52,400 --> 01:39:54,559
Speaker 1: I'll tell you another bad moment. I am really and

2055
01:39:54,600 --> 01:39:58,000
Speaker 1: it's just me really tired of Drake standing down the floor.

2056
01:39:58,120 --> 01:39:59,479
Speaker 1: End of the game, and it wasn't just him. They

2057
01:39:59,479 --> 01:40:01,559
Speaker 1: were like, I'm looking at watching the game on the

2058
01:40:01,600 --> 01:40:03,879
Speaker 1: perimeter of the floor, and I know you're paying thousands

2059
01:40:03,920 --> 01:40:06,840
Speaker 1: of dollars to sit there. Sit down. We don't want

2060
01:40:06,840 --> 01:40:08,800
Speaker 1: you on the floor. We don't want you anywhere near

2061
01:40:08,960 --> 01:40:11,599
Speaker 1: the coach. At one point, the Toronto coach nurse had

2062
01:40:11,880 --> 01:40:13,840
Speaker 1: Drake on one side, some woman on the other side.

2063
01:40:13,880 --> 01:40:16,160
Speaker 1: He's got a guy navigate through them to get on

2064
01:40:16,200 --> 01:40:18,519
Speaker 1: the floor and issue directions to his team. Come on,

2065
01:40:18,840 --> 01:40:20,880
Speaker 1: sit down, Drake. We don't need you there. We don't

2066
01:40:20,880 --> 01:40:23,439
Speaker 1: need you John with the other team. Who cares if

2067
01:40:23,479 --> 01:40:25,400
Speaker 1: you padded Kevin Durant on the back on his way

2068
01:40:25,400 --> 01:40:27,559
Speaker 1: off the floor. Durant didn't seem to care. I mean,

2069
01:40:27,840 --> 01:40:31,439
Speaker 1: just sit down. You're you're wealthy, You've earned the right

2070
01:40:31,479 --> 01:40:34,240
Speaker 1: to have those seats, have fun. You're right on top

2071
01:40:34,280 --> 01:40:37,200
Speaker 1: of the game. Sit down. We don't want to watch you,

2072
01:40:37,280 --> 01:40:39,120
Speaker 1: we don't want to see you. We don't care what

2073
01:40:39,200 --> 01:40:41,320
Speaker 1: you think of the callings on the floor. We don't

2074
01:40:41,360 --> 01:40:44,040
Speaker 1: care what you think of the opposing team. We don't

2075
01:40:44,040 --> 01:40:45,880
Speaker 1: care how close you might be with this player or

2076
01:40:45,920 --> 01:40:48,519
Speaker 1: that player. I'm not just talking about Drake anybody who's

2077
01:40:48,560 --> 01:40:51,960
Speaker 1: on the sidelines there, who's paid ridiculous amounts of money

2078
01:40:52,200 --> 01:40:54,559
Speaker 1: to sit there. You're not part of the game. You

2079
01:40:54,640 --> 01:40:56,280
Speaker 1: might think you are. You have nothing to do with

2080
01:40:56,320 --> 01:40:58,960
Speaker 1: the outcome of the game. Thank you for that. I agree.

2081
01:41:00,280 --> 01:41:04,120
Speaker 1: In the NBA it's a different professional sport than any

2082
01:41:04,120 --> 01:41:08,120
Speaker 1: other professional sport, even almost even the golf. You're right,

2083
01:41:08,160 --> 01:41:10,639
Speaker 1: there is no barrier there. There's a line on the floor.

2084
01:41:10,920 --> 01:41:13,640
Speaker 1: That's it. So you're right on top of it and

2085
01:41:13,720 --> 01:41:17,519
Speaker 1: it and maybe surprisingly maybe not that it's taken this

2086
01:41:17,640 --> 01:41:20,880
Speaker 1: long for this to be kind of an It's getting

2087
01:41:20,920 --> 01:41:24,560
Speaker 1: closer and closer and closer and closer is more in intrusive.

2088
01:41:24,640 --> 01:41:26,760
Speaker 1: You get unto the bat, these guys come spritting down

2089
01:41:26,800 --> 01:41:29,599
Speaker 1: there and going to the basket. There's fifteen cameras. There's

2090
01:41:29,640 --> 01:41:32,920
Speaker 1: people laying down there with cameras. There's you know, the

2091
01:41:33,600 --> 01:41:35,759
Speaker 1: ball boys are down there to mop up the sweat

2092
01:41:35,800 --> 01:41:38,080
Speaker 1: on a on a stoppage of time. There's all kinds

2093
01:41:38,120 --> 01:41:41,240
Speaker 1: of people down there, and fans that are crowding the floor.

2094
01:41:41,800 --> 01:41:43,840
Speaker 1: I remember years ago I went to a Calves game

2095
01:41:43,880 --> 01:41:46,719
Speaker 1: down in Cleveland, and I was like, wow, they got

2096
01:41:47,040 --> 01:41:48,840
Speaker 1: they got a lot of people packed around the edges

2097
01:41:48,840 --> 01:41:51,080
Speaker 1: of the I mean it's like it's like a playground. Yeah,

2098
01:41:51,160 --> 01:41:53,840
Speaker 1: they bear, they go right up to the sidelines. So

2099
01:41:53,960 --> 01:41:55,600
Speaker 1: it's getting I think it's getting a little out of

2100
01:41:55,600 --> 01:41:58,040
Speaker 1: hand in that respect. And it goes for the guy

2101
01:41:58,040 --> 01:42:02,760
Speaker 1: in Oakland last week. Yeah, part owner, who's even more

2102
01:42:02,800 --> 01:42:06,320
Speaker 1: to him, Yeah, even more. I mean he's he should

2103
01:42:06,320 --> 01:42:09,800
Speaker 1: know better, right, He's got responsibilities. You know, Drake didn't

2104
01:42:09,800 --> 01:42:12,120
Speaker 1: have any responsibility. He's there because he's having fun. That

2105
01:42:12,120 --> 01:42:14,080
Speaker 1: guy owns part of the team. He's responsible to the

2106
01:42:14,120 --> 01:42:15,600
Speaker 1: to the league and to the players and to the

2107
01:42:15,720 --> 01:42:18,559
Speaker 1: you know, to the game. I'm with you, I think

2108
01:42:18,560 --> 01:42:20,760
Speaker 1: that's getting little out of control. But I'll tell you

2109
01:42:20,760 --> 01:42:24,720
Speaker 1: what I get this about that, about the encroachment of

2110
01:42:24,760 --> 01:42:28,599
Speaker 1: the fans on it's compelling. Man. They're watching a great series.

2111
01:42:28,880 --> 01:42:31,040
Speaker 1: They're watching a lot of fun stuff happen. I mean,

2112
01:42:31,080 --> 01:42:34,920
Speaker 1: and it's an epic, all time great team and this

2113
01:42:35,160 --> 01:42:38,200
Speaker 1: Warrior stretch that they've had these last handful of four

2114
01:42:38,280 --> 01:42:41,040
Speaker 1: or five years has been an epic run. And they're

2115
01:42:41,040 --> 01:42:43,200
Speaker 1: there and their team's got a chance to knock him off.

2116
01:42:44,040 --> 01:42:47,240
Speaker 1: It's it's a lifetime moment. Once in a lifetime moment,

2117
01:42:47,280 --> 01:42:49,559
Speaker 1: so I get how it hyped up. Stay off the floor,

2118
01:42:49,800 --> 01:42:52,400
Speaker 1: you got you gotta read it in a little bit. Yeah,

2119
01:42:52,439 --> 01:42:54,840
Speaker 1: well nobody that goes for everybody. Nobody wants to watch that.

2120
01:42:54,920 --> 01:42:56,920
Speaker 1: I didn't tune in to see what Drake's reaction to

2121
01:42:57,000 --> 01:43:00,280
Speaker 1: Kevin bothers. I gotta say, I don't think too much

2122
01:43:00,280 --> 01:43:02,680
Speaker 1: about it, but it was like, get out of the way,

2123
01:43:02,720 --> 01:43:04,639
Speaker 1: Get out of the way. I'm telling you. The coach

2124
01:43:04,720 --> 01:43:06,960
Speaker 1: had fans on either side of them at one point

2125
01:43:07,040 --> 01:43:09,040
Speaker 1: late last ain in the game out. That's crazy, man.

2126
01:43:09,640 --> 01:43:13,639
Speaker 1: Whatever it does drive me crazy. The series been compelling

2127
01:43:14,120 --> 01:43:16,200
Speaker 1: and if you here's the thing I was asking our crew,

2128
01:43:16,360 --> 01:43:18,640
Speaker 1: who you know obviously work on the integrators as well.

2129
01:43:18,680 --> 01:43:21,320
Speaker 1: They're all great hockey fans. I don't get the sense.

2130
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:23,479
Speaker 1: And you can tell me that this year's Stanley Cup

2131
01:43:23,520 --> 01:43:27,200
Speaker 1: Playoffs finals have been anywhere near as compelling as what

2132
01:43:27,200 --> 01:43:29,439
Speaker 1: we've seen in the NBA. Right, Just it's not great

2133
01:43:29,439 --> 01:43:31,320
Speaker 1: TV or what have you watched? Well, here's the thing,

2134
01:43:31,320 --> 01:43:34,360
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody who's watched for me, the Bruins.

2135
01:43:34,680 --> 01:43:37,960
Speaker 1: We're kind of familiar with them, all too familiar with

2136
01:43:37,960 --> 01:43:41,240
Speaker 1: the Bruins here in Buffalo and Saint Louis. I mean,

2137
01:43:41,520 --> 01:43:44,559
Speaker 1: this isn't you know, this isn't the New York Rangers

2138
01:43:44,600 --> 01:43:48,960
Speaker 1: against the Montreal Canadiens. You know, it's the Blues, you know,

2139
01:43:49,080 --> 01:43:51,559
Speaker 1: against the Bruin. Now, the Bruins are an iconic franchise,

2140
01:43:51,560 --> 01:43:53,560
Speaker 1: They're an all time great franchise, They've been around for

2141
01:43:53,640 --> 01:43:55,799
Speaker 1: a long time. But they're playing the Saint Louis Blues.

2142
01:43:56,280 --> 01:43:58,200
Speaker 1: Who were you know, that's a great story worst to

2143
01:43:58,280 --> 01:44:00,360
Speaker 1: first and within the same season, changing coach and doing

2144
01:44:00,360 --> 01:44:02,519
Speaker 1: all that. It just doesn't hold the same value. There's

2145
01:44:02,560 --> 01:44:06,240
Speaker 1: not this mega team in hockey that is going and

2146
01:44:06,320 --> 01:44:08,200
Speaker 1: going and going and going, and they've got you know,

2147
01:44:08,240 --> 01:44:12,280
Speaker 1: they've got this roster of superstar all stars. It's not

2148
01:44:12,360 --> 01:44:15,240
Speaker 1: driven that the NHL isn't driven by the same star

2149
01:44:15,320 --> 01:44:17,360
Speaker 1: powers in the NBA as at this point. And that's

2150
01:44:17,360 --> 01:44:19,760
Speaker 1: why I think that's more compelled to watch the NBA. Hey,

2151
01:44:19,800 --> 01:44:22,920
Speaker 1: the NFL is pretty compelling even now. In June June eleventh,

2152
01:44:22,960 --> 01:44:26,599
Speaker 1: first day of the Bill's mandatory mini camp, just wrapped

2153
01:44:26,680 --> 01:44:28,720
Speaker 1: up about forty five minutes or so ago. We had

2154
01:44:28,920 --> 01:44:31,280
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coach Ken Dorsey in the room with us a

2155
01:44:31,280 --> 01:44:33,320
Speaker 1: couple of minutes ago as they came out the field.

2156
01:44:33,360 --> 01:44:34,840
Speaker 1: We had our cameras out there when a couple of

2157
01:44:34,880 --> 01:44:38,960
Speaker 1: different players talked to the media, including Bills center Mitch Morrise.

2158
01:44:39,040 --> 01:44:42,519
Speaker 1: The free agent acquisition came over. Mitch Morris came over

2159
01:44:42,600 --> 01:44:48,080
Speaker 1: this offseason from Denver City. Kity. Yeah, we U was

2160
01:44:48,160 --> 01:44:50,040
Speaker 1: with the home spent out so long. We haven't talked

2161
01:44:50,080 --> 01:44:52,720
Speaker 1: about it. We haven't talked about right. It was his

2162
01:44:52,800 --> 01:44:55,760
Speaker 1: first mini camp workout today for Mitch Morris, and he

2163
01:44:55,840 --> 01:44:57,759
Speaker 1: talked to the media about how he tried to stay

2164
01:44:57,800 --> 01:45:00,240
Speaker 1: sharp when he was out with the core muscle dread

2165
01:45:00,280 --> 01:45:02,920
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. Uh. I mean, the coaches

2166
01:45:02,920 --> 01:45:04,680
Speaker 1: were nice enough to give me a script and the

2167
01:45:04,720 --> 01:45:06,519
Speaker 1: good thing was I was able to take mental reps

2168
01:45:06,520 --> 01:45:08,960
Speaker 1: for every single group that was out there, and uh,

2169
01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:10,759
Speaker 1: and kind of being next to one of the assistant

2170
01:45:10,800 --> 01:45:14,120
Speaker 1: coaches and uh, you know Ryan Windell coach Wendy who

2171
01:45:14,160 --> 01:45:15,960
Speaker 1: played many years in the league, and he was able

2172
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:17,760
Speaker 1: to kind of and you know, he's very familiar with

2173
01:45:17,760 --> 01:45:20,320
Speaker 1: this offense. So he's been an incredible tool. Um. He's

2174
01:45:20,320 --> 01:45:22,600
Speaker 1: actually my neighbor, which is crazy. So we we we

2175
01:45:22,680 --> 01:45:26,040
Speaker 1: told each other Church and State, but it is to

2176
01:45:26,120 --> 01:45:28,200
Speaker 1: have that uh, you know, a gully that in your

2177
01:45:28,200 --> 01:45:29,680
Speaker 1: corner and have the ability to kind of look at

2178
01:45:29,720 --> 01:45:31,320
Speaker 1: the plays and take a step back and kind of

2179
01:45:31,320 --> 01:45:35,479
Speaker 1: look at it as a coach. How good you feel

2180
01:45:35,560 --> 01:45:37,439
Speaker 1: for you to be out there going full go? Yes,

2181
01:45:37,560 --> 01:45:40,200
Speaker 1: that was fun man? Is you know you you build

2182
01:45:40,280 --> 01:45:42,400
Speaker 1: rapport with these guys, You build relationship with these guys,

2183
01:45:42,400 --> 01:45:44,200
Speaker 1: and then you got to take a step back and

2184
01:45:44,600 --> 01:45:48,320
Speaker 1: not do you know the activity that brought you to Buffalo.

2185
01:45:48,400 --> 01:45:50,080
Speaker 1: So uh, now they were able to kind of go

2186
01:45:50,120 --> 01:45:52,960
Speaker 1: out there and compete as a group together, kind of

2187
01:45:53,120 --> 01:45:56,519
Speaker 1: understand how each other works. Um, it's fun man. I'm

2188
01:45:56,520 --> 01:45:59,080
Speaker 1: just having a blast. You know, I'm making mistakes and

2189
01:45:59,120 --> 01:46:01,519
Speaker 1: having warned from but you know, having a blast. Man.

2190
01:46:01,600 --> 01:46:03,040
Speaker 1: So it's a really good time. But now you got

2191
01:46:03,040 --> 01:46:06,759
Speaker 1: a chance to develop some continuity with your offensive linemates exactly.

2192
01:46:06,920 --> 01:46:08,679
Speaker 1: So it's all about getting out there and just competing

2193
01:46:08,720 --> 01:46:11,040
Speaker 1: with those guys. All important was ea to get out

2194
01:46:11,040 --> 01:46:13,880
Speaker 1: here before. I letna tell you how important it is

2195
01:46:13,920 --> 01:46:17,080
Speaker 1: now it was. No, it's great, it's absolutely I think

2196
01:46:17,080 --> 01:46:19,160
Speaker 1: it couldn't. I mean, I would have been better if

2197
01:46:19,160 --> 01:46:21,640
Speaker 1: I was out here for all ten of those OTAs

2198
01:46:21,680 --> 01:46:24,160
Speaker 1: and and then the train recommend camp, but I was

2199
01:46:24,160 --> 01:46:26,160
Speaker 1: able to knock some rust off last Friday I practiced

2200
01:46:26,200 --> 01:46:29,120
Speaker 1: and then limited practices reps. I think I got beat

2201
01:46:29,160 --> 01:46:32,080
Speaker 1: every time, but I learned from it and had a

2202
01:46:32,160 --> 01:46:34,840
Speaker 1: much better day to day. And uh, it's just nice.

2203
01:46:34,880 --> 01:46:36,519
Speaker 1: You gotta get that rust off and just do some

2204
01:46:36,560 --> 01:46:38,960
Speaker 1: football activity. It would have been kind of tough to

2205
01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:43,720
Speaker 1: go from January to July. Is my last football real repetition,

2206
01:46:43,880 --> 01:46:46,519
Speaker 1: especially for the speed of the game. That said, like,

2207
01:46:46,600 --> 01:46:48,559
Speaker 1: I mean, does your off season change at all now

2208
01:46:48,680 --> 01:46:50,240
Speaker 1: knowing that you kind of have to still get back

2209
01:46:50,240 --> 01:46:52,160
Speaker 1: into football shape and you have this break coming up

2210
01:46:52,280 --> 01:46:54,200
Speaker 1: maybe from what you had planned on it. I mean,

2211
01:46:55,280 --> 01:46:56,680
Speaker 1: every one of those guys knows. And when we hit

2212
01:46:56,720 --> 01:46:58,840
Speaker 1: training camp, football shape is just ramped up even more.

2213
01:46:58,880 --> 01:47:00,840
Speaker 1: So it is nice to kind of build, you know,

2214
01:47:00,880 --> 01:47:03,439
Speaker 1: and you know, understanding of how the tempo of this

2215
01:47:03,479 --> 01:47:06,599
Speaker 1: offense is run, what they expect of the winneman and everything.

2216
01:47:06,640 --> 01:47:08,840
Speaker 1: So it's kind of understanding where my conditioning needs to be.

2217
01:47:08,880 --> 01:47:10,360
Speaker 1: I think everyone's going to kind of have a reality

2218
01:47:10,439 --> 01:47:12,360
Speaker 1: check first day of training camp. It's always that way,

2219
01:47:12,400 --> 01:47:14,960
Speaker 1: so um, it'll be good. Sorry, I know you guys

2220
01:47:14,960 --> 01:47:20,720
Speaker 1: are okay. Penalties umtas it was the individual offender doing

2221
01:47:20,760 --> 01:47:24,240
Speaker 1: some running. Today, the whole unit did the run. Who

2222
01:47:24,560 --> 01:47:28,840
Speaker 1: who who precipitated that decision on the headhunch man, The

2223
01:47:29,120 --> 01:47:31,640
Speaker 1: headman himself, you know, put an onus on us And

2224
01:47:31,680 --> 01:47:33,280
Speaker 1: to be honest, I think we only had one today

2225
01:47:33,320 --> 01:47:37,240
Speaker 1: and that's and that's uh, that's amazing and something to

2226
01:47:37,280 --> 01:47:39,720
Speaker 1: work on. You know, you'd strive for none. But from

2227
01:47:39,760 --> 01:47:41,680
Speaker 1: where we started in the beginning of OTAs, that's a

2228
01:47:41,720 --> 01:47:44,600
Speaker 1: real big leap of uh, you know, just strides. And

2229
01:47:44,600 --> 01:47:46,839
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's because we're all scared, you know,

2230
01:47:46,720 --> 01:47:49,720
Speaker 1: you know, to run around and then get back in

2231
01:47:49,800 --> 01:47:51,880
Speaker 1: and you know, try to catch our breath, but it's

2232
01:47:52,000 --> 01:47:53,880
Speaker 1: it's it's definitely kind of a fun thing and an

2233
01:47:53,920 --> 01:47:56,800
Speaker 1: interesting thing from the headman. So much progress you made

2234
01:47:57,200 --> 01:47:58,960
Speaker 1: on a daylight today? How big was that in terms

2235
01:47:59,000 --> 01:48:01,400
Speaker 1: of making progress where you want to be right? Yeah,

2236
01:48:01,400 --> 01:48:02,760
Speaker 1: So I think the big thing is just kind of

2237
01:48:02,840 --> 01:48:07,080
Speaker 1: learning how to break the huddle, analyze the defense, make

2238
01:48:07,120 --> 01:48:10,719
Speaker 1: the proper calls, not over communicating, getting the right information

2239
01:48:10,800 --> 01:48:13,640
Speaker 1: to the right people, and then maybe making adjustments at

2240
01:48:13,680 --> 01:48:17,240
Speaker 1: the last second. So, um, this is huge and I

2241
01:48:17,280 --> 01:48:18,840
Speaker 1: think every day we kind of were gonna build on that.

2242
01:48:18,880 --> 01:48:20,640
Speaker 1: You know, Tomorrow's another day and then Thursday's gonna be

2243
01:48:20,640 --> 01:48:23,040
Speaker 1: another great day to do that. And uh, it's fun.

2244
01:48:23,120 --> 01:48:24,880
Speaker 1: I said, blast today, I had so much fun and

2245
01:48:24,880 --> 01:48:26,680
Speaker 1: it was fun to be out with the guys and uh,

2246
01:48:27,720 --> 01:48:29,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's just it's it's been a it's a

2247
01:48:29,880 --> 01:48:32,080
Speaker 1: privilege today. There's so much to turnover on the line.

2248
01:48:32,240 --> 01:48:34,040
Speaker 1: Last year and Josh had so many different guys in

2249
01:48:34,040 --> 01:48:36,120
Speaker 1: front of them all the time as a center. Now

2250
01:48:36,160 --> 01:48:37,960
Speaker 1: that you're back, do you feel like kind of a

2251
01:48:37,960 --> 01:48:39,800
Speaker 1: glue guy that can that can bring that that whole

2252
01:48:39,840 --> 01:48:42,880
Speaker 1: puzzle together. Yeah. The big thing is first availability and

2253
01:48:43,040 --> 01:48:45,640
Speaker 1: something I'm working on with Nate and his staff and

2254
01:48:45,680 --> 01:48:48,800
Speaker 1: the you know, the training staff here is just uh

2255
01:48:48,920 --> 01:48:51,000
Speaker 1: that that that's all fun unless I'm out and you know,

2256
01:48:51,040 --> 01:48:52,760
Speaker 1: unless I'm not out there. So right now we're working on,

2257
01:48:52,840 --> 01:48:54,840
Speaker 1: you know, what I can do to be out there,

2258
01:48:54,880 --> 01:48:56,800
Speaker 1: and then once I am out there, I feel like

2259
01:48:57,280 --> 01:48:59,439
Speaker 1: you have to have repetitions with the guys, you know,

2260
01:49:00,280 --> 01:49:02,360
Speaker 1: good to mix and match. But for me, I do

2261
01:49:02,400 --> 01:49:05,479
Speaker 1: feel like I'm much more I don't know, put to

2262
01:49:05,520 --> 01:49:07,400
Speaker 1: work when I'm out there and being able to kind

2263
01:49:07,400 --> 01:49:10,639
Speaker 1: of just communicate or relay information. Still with that in mind,

2264
01:49:10,680 --> 01:49:12,919
Speaker 1: how how were you guys handling some of the shuffling

2265
01:49:12,920 --> 01:49:15,200
Speaker 1: you've had to endure here? I mean again this week

2266
01:49:15,240 --> 01:49:17,280
Speaker 1: you had to do it again. Sure, no, it's it's

2267
01:49:17,280 --> 01:49:18,960
Speaker 1: all part of the game, man, I mean it's it's

2268
01:49:18,960 --> 01:49:21,559
Speaker 1: been weird. It's been kind of exceptional how many people

2269
01:49:21,560 --> 01:49:24,400
Speaker 1: are out. But it's the nature of the beast. Those

2270
01:49:24,400 --> 01:49:26,400
Speaker 1: guys will tell you the same thing. It's it's it's

2271
01:49:26,560 --> 01:49:28,720
Speaker 1: terrible meal on that side of the ball, and you know,

2272
01:49:28,720 --> 01:49:30,720
Speaker 1: when you're injured and you want to be participating, but

2273
01:49:30,760 --> 01:49:32,320
Speaker 1: they'll you know, I think most every one of those

2274
01:49:32,320 --> 01:49:34,080
Speaker 1: guys will be ready to roll in training camp and

2275
01:49:34,080 --> 01:49:36,240
Speaker 1: that's all that matters. It'd be nice to be out here,

2276
01:49:36,240 --> 01:49:37,880
Speaker 1: but you know, we don't want to get guys really hurt.

2277
01:49:38,400 --> 01:49:41,760
Speaker 1: Bill center Mitch Morse, the unrestricted free agent signed from

2278
01:49:41,840 --> 01:49:44,439
Speaker 1: Kansas City, his first real workout today with the team

2279
01:49:44,439 --> 01:49:47,360
Speaker 1: after missing the first several weeks of the OTAs with

2280
01:49:47,479 --> 01:49:50,040
Speaker 1: the core muscle injury. A couple of things he said

2281
01:49:50,080 --> 01:49:52,880
Speaker 1: there again, he's right about how weird it is. Seven

2282
01:49:53,200 --> 01:49:55,920
Speaker 1: offensive lineman either out of the lineup today or limited,

2283
01:49:56,160 --> 01:49:58,479
Speaker 1: and he talked about how he spent time out and

2284
01:49:58,520 --> 01:50:01,679
Speaker 1: talked about all the ment reps he took part in. Stephen,

2285
01:50:02,400 --> 01:50:04,400
Speaker 1: I used to think you could tell me different that

2286
01:50:04,640 --> 01:50:06,679
Speaker 1: people are just full of blooney when they talk about

2287
01:50:06,720 --> 01:50:09,800
Speaker 1: mental reps. That has no value. No, it does have value.

2288
01:50:09,800 --> 01:50:11,920
Speaker 1: It does a lot of And he said too, he

2289
01:50:12,040 --> 01:50:14,479
Speaker 1: got a script, which is key. You get in there

2290
01:50:14,479 --> 01:50:16,280
Speaker 1: and you look, and that's Those are the only reps

2291
01:50:16,280 --> 01:50:18,000
Speaker 1: I used to take as a wide receiver because you

2292
01:50:18,080 --> 01:50:22,200
Speaker 1: got Andre Reid, James Lofton, Don Bbie, Billy Brooks, the whole.

2293
01:50:22,280 --> 01:50:24,000
Speaker 1: You know, Russell co had a bunch of guys that

2294
01:50:24,040 --> 01:50:25,920
Speaker 1: ahead of me that played and all I didn't get

2295
01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:27,880
Speaker 1: very many reps in our offense. Yeah, all you got.

2296
01:50:28,680 --> 01:50:30,040
Speaker 1: All I got were mental reps. And one of the

2297
01:50:30,040 --> 01:50:32,880
Speaker 1: things I did back in the day there was no radios, right,

2298
01:50:33,280 --> 01:50:36,160
Speaker 1: he had to signal it. So I was the guy

2299
01:50:36,240 --> 01:50:38,839
Speaker 1: during practice that would signal in the plays to our offense.

2300
01:50:38,880 --> 01:50:41,679
Speaker 1: I was standing like fifteen feet away. It was like nothing.

2301
01:50:41,960 --> 01:50:43,960
Speaker 1: You could have spoken it and had it here, but

2302
01:50:44,040 --> 01:50:46,880
Speaker 1: we did it with signals. So I would signal during

2303
01:50:46,920 --> 01:50:49,960
Speaker 1: practice because the noise you're gonna encounter any right, Well,

2304
01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:52,439
Speaker 1: and plus two. You you could do it from the

2305
01:50:52,439 --> 01:50:54,479
Speaker 1: sidelines during a game. Jim would look over and they

2306
01:50:54,479 --> 01:50:56,559
Speaker 1: would signal him to play rather than have it to

2307
01:50:56,640 --> 01:51:01,200
Speaker 1: yell at or whatever. So I signaled the plays into

2308
01:51:01,680 --> 01:51:04,360
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly during practice, and by doing that, I got

2309
01:51:04,520 --> 01:51:06,519
Speaker 1: to hear it, I got to see it, and then

2310
01:51:06,520 --> 01:51:09,320
Speaker 1: I would take the rep. And Yeah, mental reps are

2311
01:51:09,360 --> 01:51:14,120
Speaker 1: not as good as real reps, but when you start

2312
01:51:14,160 --> 01:51:16,280
Speaker 1: to get used to taking mental reps and you start

2313
01:51:16,280 --> 01:51:19,240
Speaker 1: concentrating on it, they do become very valuable because you

2314
01:51:19,280 --> 01:51:22,200
Speaker 1: do see Because here's why. When you take reps, like

2315
01:51:22,520 --> 01:51:24,519
Speaker 1: say if you're a number one center or number one

2316
01:51:25,680 --> 01:51:28,519
Speaker 1: wide receiver whichever the case may be, or number one

2317
01:51:28,600 --> 01:51:31,120
Speaker 1: running back, you take three or four reps at a time.

2318
01:51:31,520 --> 01:51:33,000
Speaker 1: Then you go back and you sit down for three

2319
01:51:33,080 --> 01:51:36,040
Speaker 1: or four reps or four, five or six rests because

2320
01:51:36,040 --> 01:51:38,200
Speaker 1: you maybe you have two guys taken rests behind you.

2321
01:51:38,200 --> 01:51:40,360
Speaker 1: You take four, the next guy takes three, the next

2322
01:51:40,360 --> 01:51:43,080
Speaker 1: guy takes two, You take four, the next guy takes three,

2323
01:51:43,080 --> 01:51:46,800
Speaker 1: the next guy takes two, So you get eight reps

2324
01:51:46,840 --> 01:51:50,599
Speaker 1: out of you know, the eighteen reps that your team

2325
01:51:50,640 --> 01:51:54,040
Speaker 1: takes when you come out for your four reps. You

2326
01:51:54,040 --> 01:51:56,160
Speaker 1: really don't pay attention to their reps, you know what

2327
01:51:56,200 --> 01:51:58,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So you're out there getting a drink of

2328
01:51:58,560 --> 01:52:00,719
Speaker 1: water because you've been running. You run your run the route,

2329
01:52:00,720 --> 01:52:02,720
Speaker 1: you come back, you run another route, you come back,

2330
01:52:02,720 --> 01:52:04,040
Speaker 1: you run another and you come back and you get

2331
01:52:04,040 --> 01:52:05,400
Speaker 1: a drink of water, and you take a knee for

2332
01:52:05,400 --> 01:52:06,960
Speaker 1: a minute, and you think what you talk about the

2333
01:52:07,000 --> 01:52:10,160
Speaker 1: reps you just took. But as for me, I took

2334
01:52:10,240 --> 01:52:13,559
Speaker 1: every single rep in practice because I was watching every

2335
01:52:13,560 --> 01:52:15,240
Speaker 1: single I didn't have to get a drink of water.

2336
01:52:15,280 --> 01:52:17,200
Speaker 1: I didn't have to take a time off to go

2337
01:52:17,280 --> 01:52:20,040
Speaker 1: take a knee because I just sprinted. I took every

2338
01:52:20,080 --> 01:52:23,960
Speaker 1: single rep as a mental rep, which is what Mitch

2339
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:26,000
Speaker 1: Morris was able to do these last four weeks. So

2340
01:52:26,040 --> 01:52:28,000
Speaker 1: he didn't just take the reps he took. He took

2341
01:52:28,040 --> 01:52:31,000
Speaker 1: everybody's reps mentally because he had to see it. He

2342
01:52:31,120 --> 01:52:33,160
Speaker 1: read it, he heard it in the huddle, and then

2343
01:52:33,160 --> 01:52:35,360
Speaker 1: he sat there and watched it and watched his guy.

2344
01:52:35,439 --> 01:52:37,760
Speaker 1: So he watched that rep. They may run the same

2345
01:52:37,800 --> 01:52:40,559
Speaker 1: play out of eighteen times. They may run that play

2346
01:52:40,600 --> 01:52:44,120
Speaker 1: three times. He'll get it against three different defenses, and

2347
01:52:44,160 --> 01:52:47,439
Speaker 1: he'll take a mental rep against three different defenses. Now

2348
01:52:47,439 --> 01:52:49,719
Speaker 1: he didn't run through him, but he saw other guys

2349
01:52:49,800 --> 01:52:51,800
Speaker 1: do that and get coached up, and he'll watch them

2350
01:52:51,840 --> 01:52:54,639
Speaker 1: get coached up on the film too. So it's great

2351
01:52:54,720 --> 01:52:57,280
Speaker 1: value in it if you can stay focused and in

2352
01:52:57,400 --> 01:53:00,639
Speaker 1: tune mentally, and guys like Mitch Moore and do because

2353
01:53:00,680 --> 01:53:03,040
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about going back taking a knee.

2354
01:53:03,120 --> 01:53:05,680
Speaker 1: You didn't take four reps. Now you're dog tired for

2355
01:53:05,680 --> 01:53:07,800
Speaker 1: the next two reps and you're not even watching the

2356
01:53:07,840 --> 01:53:09,400
Speaker 1: rest of practice. You know what I'm saying, I do,

2357
01:53:09,560 --> 01:53:11,720
Speaker 1: So it's a real you can do it, and they

2358
01:53:11,760 --> 01:53:14,080
Speaker 1: do have value, and in fact, over the course of

2359
01:53:14,120 --> 01:53:17,400
Speaker 1: the entire script of practice, it's actually more valuable because

2360
01:53:17,400 --> 01:53:20,120
Speaker 1: you are engaged in things you wouldn't normally be engaged in.

2361
01:53:21,360 --> 01:53:23,760
Speaker 1: Another thing that Mitch Moore's we just heard of talk about,

2362
01:53:23,840 --> 01:53:26,360
Speaker 1: Chris Brown asked a question about apparently we didn't see it.

2363
01:53:26,360 --> 01:53:29,040
Speaker 1: We're in here on penalties and they did have officials

2364
01:53:29,040 --> 01:53:31,200
Speaker 1: out there today, which is, I didn't you notice that

2365
01:53:31,200 --> 01:53:32,920
Speaker 1: the first thing? We're out there a little bit today

2366
01:53:33,320 --> 01:53:36,400
Speaker 1: and the officials are calum penalties and apparently Sean McDermott

2367
01:53:36,439 --> 01:53:39,439
Speaker 1: had the entire unit, the offending parties of an offensive

2368
01:53:39,479 --> 01:53:42,160
Speaker 1: lineman jumps early. They all ran probably a lap around

2369
01:53:42,200 --> 01:53:44,680
Speaker 1: the field. Does that have what's the benefit of that?

2370
01:53:45,920 --> 01:53:49,640
Speaker 1: It brings your awareness to it. It's a level of

2371
01:53:49,760 --> 01:53:53,479
Speaker 1: a discipline, and it holds you accountable, you know the

2372
01:53:53,560 --> 01:53:56,479
Speaker 1: guy who does it. Now, everybody's got to run and

2373
01:53:56,600 --> 01:54:01,479
Speaker 1: you can bet either good naturedly or maybe not. They're saying, dude,

2374
01:54:02,439 --> 01:54:04,760
Speaker 1: don't jump off sides. What are you doing? You know

2375
01:54:05,720 --> 01:54:08,559
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. So, particularly those unforced errors like that.

2376
01:54:09,120 --> 01:54:12,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, it does help. It brings it to like plus,

2377
01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:15,120
Speaker 1: when you got eleven guys running, everybody else gotta stand

2378
01:54:15,120 --> 01:54:16,960
Speaker 1: there and wait on them. Yeah, so the whole team

2379
01:54:17,040 --> 01:54:19,679
Speaker 1: kind of it's reinforced to all of them are the guys,

2380
01:54:19,800 --> 01:54:21,720
Speaker 1: and these are the guilty parties. And here's another thing

2381
01:54:22,080 --> 01:54:27,320
Speaker 1: that gets lost in all this that these mini camps

2382
01:54:27,680 --> 01:54:31,840
Speaker 1: the time frames different. In a regular ota, you can

2383
01:54:31,880 --> 01:54:33,640
Speaker 1: only be out there for so long, and the coach

2384
01:54:33,960 --> 01:54:36,080
Speaker 1: you don't want to waste time discipline these guys having

2385
01:54:36,120 --> 01:54:37,840
Speaker 1: them run a lap that's going to take a minute

2386
01:54:37,920 --> 01:54:41,120
Speaker 1: or two, literally a minute or two. You don't want

2387
01:54:41,120 --> 01:54:44,200
Speaker 1: to stop practice for that. But in this where you

2388
01:54:44,240 --> 01:54:46,120
Speaker 1: don't have a back end where these guys don't have

2389
01:54:46,160 --> 01:54:48,840
Speaker 1: to come off the field of it. Now you gotta, hey,

2390
01:54:48,880 --> 01:54:51,120
Speaker 1: you gotta you're being punished from you know that, so

2391
01:54:51,160 --> 01:54:54,040
Speaker 1: they got time to do that kind of sounds silly,

2392
01:54:54,240 --> 01:54:56,360
Speaker 1: but that kind of stuff they say, listen, we're gonna

2393
01:54:56,360 --> 01:54:59,280
Speaker 1: all stop and let you get this right, or we're

2394
01:54:59,280 --> 01:55:01,000
Speaker 1: gonna all stop them let you get suffer because we

2395
01:55:01,000 --> 01:55:02,240
Speaker 1: don't have to, you know, we don't have to be

2396
01:55:02,280 --> 01:55:03,800
Speaker 1: off the field at the back end. And one more

2397
01:55:03,880 --> 01:55:07,440
Speaker 1: question about Mitch Moore's interview there. He said something that

2398
01:55:07,520 --> 01:55:10,600
Speaker 1: got my attention about making line calls. It's part of

2399
01:55:10,600 --> 01:55:11,880
Speaker 1: his job, and he said, I got to make sure

2400
01:55:11,920 --> 01:55:14,960
Speaker 1: I don't over communicate. Obviously you didn't play offensive line.

2401
01:55:14,960 --> 01:55:16,360
Speaker 1: But what do you think he has in mind there

2402
01:55:16,360 --> 01:55:18,880
Speaker 1: when he talks about over communication. I think that's a

2403
01:55:19,960 --> 01:55:22,880
Speaker 1: I think that's a nod to how many different new

2404
01:55:22,920 --> 01:55:25,360
Speaker 1: guys there are. If you say something to a guy

2405
01:55:26,280 --> 01:55:28,440
Speaker 1: and he's you think he's got it, but you've never

2406
01:55:28,520 --> 01:55:30,840
Speaker 1: played with him before, you don't know if he's got it.

2407
01:55:30,880 --> 01:55:32,680
Speaker 1: If you want to make sure you know he's got it,

2408
01:55:33,120 --> 01:55:35,520
Speaker 1: you say it again in a different way. You make

2409
01:55:35,600 --> 01:55:38,400
Speaker 1: it or you ask for a reply. You got it,

2410
01:55:38,640 --> 01:55:40,760
Speaker 1: you know that kind of thing. So then it takes

2411
01:55:40,800 --> 01:55:44,000
Speaker 1: and it takes an extra round of communication. And also

2412
01:55:44,200 --> 01:55:47,560
Speaker 1: over communication that means you don't if he's going to

2413
01:55:47,600 --> 01:55:50,040
Speaker 1: relay it to the next guy, you don't have to

2414
01:55:50,120 --> 01:55:52,600
Speaker 1: yell to the next guy the tackle. If you're the center,

2415
01:55:52,640 --> 01:55:54,360
Speaker 1: you don't have to yell at the tackle. The guard's

2416
01:55:54,440 --> 01:55:57,000
Speaker 1: got it. They've got their own thing going. You don't

2417
01:55:57,040 --> 01:55:58,640
Speaker 1: want to. And then also you don't have to tell

2418
01:55:58,720 --> 01:56:01,920
Speaker 1: him too much like I got that, you know, I

2419
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:04,080
Speaker 1: know that, I know the guy's in the three technique.

2420
01:56:04,080 --> 01:56:05,960
Speaker 1: I got that call, you know. And there's a or

2421
01:56:06,160 --> 01:56:08,960
Speaker 1: when you when you say the defense, there are certain

2422
01:56:09,040 --> 01:56:11,560
Speaker 1: rules that snap into place. Listen, this is an underfront.

2423
01:56:12,240 --> 01:56:14,640
Speaker 1: Here's what we're doing. Bomb. It's an underfront. Well, that

2424
01:56:14,760 --> 01:56:17,240
Speaker 1: sets in a set of rules. So when you make

2425
01:56:17,280 --> 01:56:19,480
Speaker 1: the call from that, it's under that set of rules

2426
01:56:19,520 --> 01:56:22,400
Speaker 1: on the underfront. So if the underfront's called, you don't

2427
01:56:22,440 --> 01:56:24,600
Speaker 1: have to make another calls. Hey, it's an underfront. Do

2428
01:56:24,640 --> 01:56:28,040
Speaker 1: you know that that you know? You know? So it's

2429
01:56:28,040 --> 01:56:30,440
Speaker 1: an in an attempt to get it right because you're

2430
01:56:30,440 --> 01:56:32,600
Speaker 1: not familiar with the guys you're playing with. Do you

2431
01:56:32,720 --> 01:56:36,400
Speaker 1: understand the rules of this underfront we're looking at this time?

2432
01:56:36,480 --> 01:56:40,480
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So it's just because over

2433
01:56:40,520 --> 01:56:43,440
Speaker 1: communication can also be listening. I got it. It's an

2434
01:56:43,680 --> 01:56:46,720
Speaker 1: it's an insult to me that well, it's not just that.

2435
01:56:46,760 --> 01:56:49,720
Speaker 1: It's like, I'm no fool, right, you know, don't make

2436
01:56:49,760 --> 01:56:51,800
Speaker 1: me look bad like the coaches are saying. I'm the

2437
01:56:51,840 --> 01:56:54,800
Speaker 1: guy that you have to like walk, you know, handhold

2438
01:56:54,920 --> 01:56:57,840
Speaker 1: through the calls. You know what I'm saying. I don't

2439
01:56:57,840 --> 01:56:59,400
Speaker 1: want to be the guy that the coaches thinks an

2440
01:56:59,400 --> 01:57:02,120
Speaker 1: idiot because you got to over communicate to me. Yeah,

2441
01:57:02,160 --> 01:57:04,920
Speaker 1: you see what I'm saying. I got you. So there's

2442
01:57:04,960 --> 01:57:08,120
Speaker 1: a lot of there's, like you forget, there's a human

2443
01:57:08,160 --> 01:57:10,879
Speaker 1: element to this that kind of gets under the washed

2444
01:57:10,960 --> 01:57:13,200
Speaker 1: away when you say, hey, make the line calls and

2445
01:57:13,240 --> 01:57:17,320
Speaker 1: all that. You know that there's some some of that

2446
01:57:17,560 --> 01:57:19,800
Speaker 1: relationship stuff that's in there mixed in there as well,

2447
01:57:19,840 --> 01:57:21,080
Speaker 1: and some of it has a lot of it has

2448
01:57:21,080 --> 01:57:22,920
Speaker 1: to do with the guy. You don't know who these guys.

2449
01:57:22,960 --> 01:57:24,600
Speaker 1: He hasn't played here. I know these guys are doing.

2450
01:57:24,720 --> 01:57:26,400
Speaker 1: If you heard Mitch Moore, a couple of minutes ago

2451
01:57:26,520 --> 01:57:28,800
Speaker 1: here this is a post practice news conference. To day,

2452
01:57:28,840 --> 01:57:31,560
Speaker 1: you heard him express the fact that they're playing without

2453
01:57:31,880 --> 01:57:34,120
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of pieces, especially on the offensive line.

2454
01:57:35,400 --> 01:57:39,240
Speaker 1: Seven different offensive line alignment either out or limited in

2455
01:57:39,280 --> 01:57:42,320
Speaker 1: today's practice, and earlier in the day Sean McDermot talked

2456
01:57:42,320 --> 01:57:44,240
Speaker 1: about that. The Bill's head coach says, nothing you can

2457
01:57:44,280 --> 01:57:45,840
Speaker 1: do about it. You got to get those guys healthy

2458
01:57:45,840 --> 01:57:48,120
Speaker 1: and and really make the best of the guys they

2459
01:57:48,160 --> 01:57:51,560
Speaker 1: have here. With those offensive linemen missing the reps, you

2460
01:57:51,680 --> 01:57:53,400
Speaker 1: want to try and capture as much as you can.

2461
01:57:53,520 --> 01:57:56,160
Speaker 1: So we talk a lot about, hey, well he may

2462
01:57:56,160 --> 01:57:58,440
Speaker 1: not be able to practice, but what he what is

2463
01:57:58,480 --> 01:58:02,200
Speaker 1: he able to do with respect to walk throughs installed period,

2464
01:58:03,440 --> 01:58:06,360
Speaker 1: excuse me, during practice. So we try and capture as

2465
01:58:06,400 --> 01:58:10,000
Speaker 1: much as we can. And there really the ownership then

2466
01:58:10,120 --> 01:58:12,200
Speaker 1: is on the player to get himself up to speed,

2467
01:58:12,200 --> 01:58:15,000
Speaker 1: to stay in tune with what we're doing mentally, and

2468
01:58:16,120 --> 01:58:19,080
Speaker 1: we try and check for understanding as much as we

2469
01:58:19,160 --> 01:58:21,800
Speaker 1: can in that area. So they're working on it, and

2470
01:58:21,880 --> 01:58:24,440
Speaker 1: it hasn't been easy. As we said, a total of

2471
01:58:24,720 --> 01:58:28,520
Speaker 1: seven hot defensive lineman out. Total of fourteen different players

2472
01:58:28,520 --> 01:58:31,960
Speaker 1: either not practicing or limited today, including no practice for

2473
01:58:32,440 --> 01:58:36,040
Speaker 1: receivers Robert Foster and Zay Jones. No practice for tight

2474
01:58:36,160 --> 01:58:39,600
Speaker 1: ends Jason Crewman, Tyler Croft, and four different offensive linemen

2475
01:58:39,600 --> 01:58:44,160
Speaker 1: missing today's workout, Buttger, John Feliciano, Quentin Spain, and Jeremiah Searles.

2476
01:58:44,480 --> 01:58:46,680
Speaker 1: Limited work for wide receiver Cole Beasley. It was good

2477
01:58:46,720 --> 01:58:49,480
Speaker 1: to see him out there today. Limited work for offensive

2478
01:58:49,520 --> 01:58:52,920
Speaker 1: lineman Tie and Secki and Russell Bodine, and limited work

2479
01:58:52,960 --> 01:58:55,920
Speaker 1: for defensive backs Terren Johnson and Raphael Bush. Limited work

2480
01:58:55,920 --> 01:58:59,120
Speaker 1: for offensive lineman Garrett mcgin. That's the lineup for today's

2481
01:58:59,120 --> 01:59:01,840
Speaker 1: ot A number one. All right, we're gonna take a break.

2482
01:59:01,880 --> 01:59:03,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna come back. We've got NFL true and falls

2483
01:59:03,800 --> 01:59:05,560
Speaker 1: coming up, and we're gonna hear it from Frank Gore

2484
01:59:05,720 --> 01:59:07,920
Speaker 1: that are in running back. He talked to the media

2485
01:59:07,960 --> 01:59:10,920
Speaker 1: after practice. Well here what he had to say. When

2486
01:59:10,920 --> 01:59:13,560
Speaker 1: we return. One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health from

2487
01:59:13,560 --> 01:59:27,440
Speaker 1: One Bill's Drive. This is Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back

2488
01:59:27,440 --> 01:59:29,520
Speaker 1: to the show. John Murphy's team tasker as one goes

2489
01:59:29,560 --> 01:59:32,120
Speaker 1: live on a Tuesday afternoon when the Bills begin their

2490
01:59:32,280 --> 01:59:34,960
Speaker 1: mandatory mini camp. It's been a pretty good show. I'm

2491
01:59:34,960 --> 01:59:39,200
Speaker 1: beating myself up, Steve over misidentifying Michael Robinson as a linebacker.

2492
01:59:39,240 --> 01:59:41,680
Speaker 1: I did it last week too. I don't know why

2493
01:59:41,720 --> 01:59:44,920
Speaker 1: as a player. I've been thinking about why he did

2494
01:59:44,920 --> 01:59:46,680
Speaker 1: not have a real high profile as a player. You know,

2495
01:59:46,760 --> 01:59:49,240
Speaker 1: fullback played down the championship team. I know that, But

2496
01:59:49,320 --> 01:59:52,040
Speaker 1: did you Were you aware of Michael Robinson fullback for

2497
01:59:52,080 --> 01:59:53,920
Speaker 1: the Niners in Seattle when he played? It was no,

2498
01:59:54,960 --> 01:59:57,000
Speaker 1: you know what, that's that's my fault. The strange part

2499
01:59:57,000 --> 01:59:59,600
Speaker 1: about it is when we found out we're gonna have

2500
01:59:59,680 --> 02:00:01,080
Speaker 1: him on the show, you know you went and did

2501
02:00:01,080 --> 02:00:04,280
Speaker 1: some research. I was like, oh, I recognize his face exactly.

2502
02:00:04,360 --> 02:00:06,840
Speaker 1: I knew who he was. Yeah, if you miss that.

2503
02:00:06,960 --> 02:00:08,320
Speaker 1: He's the one who said the Bills will win the

2504
02:00:08,400 --> 02:00:11,080
Speaker 1: ABC East this year, we'll put that up on the web.

2505
02:00:11,320 --> 02:00:14,440
Speaker 1: Great part about it's like he goes, I believe it.

2506
02:00:14,760 --> 02:00:17,760
Speaker 1: I'm not backing down. He basically doubled down, doubled down

2507
02:00:17,800 --> 02:00:20,640
Speaker 1: on it. Good for him, man, you gotta love that guy.

2508
02:00:20,000 --> 02:00:26,200
Speaker 1: Was favorite. Plus he said nice things about me. Oh yeah,

2509
02:00:26,280 --> 02:00:28,920
Speaker 1: that's right. That's why we had him. Yeah, we had him.

2510
02:00:29,000 --> 02:00:31,640
Speaker 1: We gotta have him on again. We will from the

2511
02:00:31,720 --> 02:00:33,800
Speaker 1: NFL Network, Michael Robinson, you can pick that up on

2512
02:00:33,840 --> 02:00:37,320
Speaker 1: the website. So, first day of mini camp today, two

2513
02:00:37,360 --> 02:00:40,320
Speaker 1: more days coming up this week. Frank Gore in camp

2514
02:00:40,320 --> 02:00:43,840
Speaker 1: with the Buffalo Bills, the longtime NFL veteran running back

2515
02:00:44,560 --> 02:00:46,600
Speaker 1: and what made me think about this? Michael Robinson talked

2516
02:00:46,640 --> 02:00:49,000
Speaker 1: about Frank Gore right and how much of a leader

2517
02:00:49,080 --> 02:00:50,800
Speaker 1: he could be for this team. Didn't he say that

2518
02:00:50,840 --> 02:00:53,520
Speaker 1: he could be an example for this team of what

2519
02:00:53,560 --> 02:00:57,320
Speaker 1: it takes to win a championship, and that is That's

2520
02:00:57,320 --> 02:01:00,560
Speaker 1: one of the reasons, if not the main reason. I

2521
02:01:00,600 --> 02:01:03,480
Speaker 1: think it is the main reason why Sean McDermott reached

2522
02:01:03,480 --> 02:01:05,080
Speaker 1: out to him. That's why Adam and I'll tell you

2523
02:01:05,080 --> 02:01:06,520
Speaker 1: this too. I know it because I asked him this

2524
02:01:07,400 --> 02:01:10,440
Speaker 1: in person. Adam gayse As head coach of the Dolphins

2525
02:01:10,520 --> 02:01:13,400
Speaker 1: last year, said that's exactly why I brought Frank Gore

2526
02:01:13,440 --> 02:01:16,560
Speaker 1: in here. I coached with him, with him on the team,

2527
02:01:16,640 --> 02:01:18,440
Speaker 1: He's the kind of guy I want on my team.

2528
02:01:18,640 --> 02:01:21,240
Speaker 1: That's exactly the reason Sean McDermott brought him in. And

2529
02:01:21,280 --> 02:01:23,160
Speaker 1: I think at those at this point of his career,

2530
02:01:24,280 --> 02:01:28,240
Speaker 1: both Adam Gas last year and hopefully Sean McDermott this

2531
02:01:28,320 --> 02:01:31,480
Speaker 1: year will say Wow, he can play too. Yeah, because

2532
02:01:31,480 --> 02:01:33,480
Speaker 1: that's what happened to him in Miami last year. Yep,

2533
02:01:33,520 --> 02:01:36,120
Speaker 1: and Frank Gore talked to the media today coming off

2534
02:01:36,160 --> 02:01:38,520
Speaker 1: the field after today's mini Kemp work out, and that's

2535
02:01:38,520 --> 02:01:40,360
Speaker 1: when he was talking about He was talking about acting

2536
02:01:40,400 --> 02:01:42,840
Speaker 1: as a leader, in particular acting as a leader and

2537
02:01:42,880 --> 02:01:46,480
Speaker 1: as an example for second year linebacker Turmaine Edmonds. Here's

2538
02:01:46,480 --> 02:01:51,200
Speaker 1: what he said. Um, you know I told Tremaine how

2539
02:01:51,880 --> 02:01:55,520
Speaker 1: you know he go build line bracker league, very big,

2540
02:01:55,640 --> 02:01:59,320
Speaker 1: very fast. Um, once he see ball, he go get ball.

2541
02:01:59,440 --> 02:02:01,720
Speaker 1: He just keeps early in his bats and knowing that,

2542
02:02:02,120 --> 02:02:04,720
Speaker 1: you know, every bat's different, you know he's gonna he

2543
02:02:04,800 --> 02:02:06,960
Speaker 1: should he'll take a bit jump in his league. Other

2544
02:02:07,000 --> 02:02:09,240
Speaker 1: guys that you talked to her though, Um, I just

2545
02:02:09,280 --> 02:02:11,800
Speaker 1: felt me as a running back, I wasn't really you know,

2546
02:02:11,920 --> 02:02:14,480
Speaker 1: once I felt like, you know, the secondary. You know,

2547
02:02:14,520 --> 02:02:17,520
Speaker 1: I feel like I should be the second defender. Um

2548
02:02:17,520 --> 02:02:19,760
Speaker 1: me watched playing against him last year. They front seven.

2549
02:02:19,800 --> 02:02:22,800
Speaker 1: It was tough, man. Um, I felt like there was

2550
02:02:22,800 --> 02:02:26,000
Speaker 1: one of the me, one of the toughest front seven

2551
02:02:26,000 --> 02:02:29,160
Speaker 1: I played against an AFC east. Um. But you know

2552
02:02:29,400 --> 02:02:31,320
Speaker 1: we just gotta keep working as a team. Man. Man,

2553
02:02:31,520 --> 02:02:34,640
Speaker 1: I think, don't we keep working and try to continue

2554
02:02:34,640 --> 02:02:37,920
Speaker 1: to be one offense, defensive special team that will we

2555
02:02:38,000 --> 02:02:39,720
Speaker 1: could do some all good things. I wanted to ask

2556
02:02:39,760 --> 02:02:41,880
Speaker 1: you about it. How crazy is it that you're playing

2557
02:02:41,920 --> 02:02:44,920
Speaker 1: this year with this team and your old Miami teammate

2558
02:02:44,960 --> 02:02:51,640
Speaker 1: Dorsey is I was young, young, But isn't it not

2559
02:02:51,680 --> 02:02:54,520
Speaker 1: just Dorsey? I played with Chad you know, receiver coach. Um.

2560
02:02:54,960 --> 02:02:57,320
Speaker 1: But I've been blessed. Man, I'm still having fun. I

2561
02:02:57,360 --> 02:02:59,440
Speaker 1: still love it. Um. I feel like I still can

2562
02:02:59,520 --> 02:03:01,160
Speaker 1: play this game game at a high level, and I'm

2563
02:03:01,160 --> 02:03:04,320
Speaker 1: gonna try to do whatever take um show my teammates.

2564
02:03:04,400 --> 02:03:06,880
Speaker 1: Well what I'm about? You got any thoughts? And Ken

2565
02:03:07,000 --> 02:03:09,240
Speaker 1: as a coach? I mean you saw him play. I know,

2566
02:03:09,320 --> 02:03:10,800
Speaker 1: I know he did a great job. He was a

2567
02:03:10,880 --> 02:03:13,680
Speaker 1: very small player. Um, you know, knowing he was in college,

2568
02:03:13,680 --> 02:03:16,879
Speaker 1: he always was a leader. Um, you know since college,

2569
02:03:16,880 --> 02:03:18,960
Speaker 1: and you know I played with him at Saint Franz

2570
02:03:19,040 --> 02:03:21,440
Speaker 1: and when he when he did play, he won games.

2571
02:03:21,880 --> 02:03:24,360
Speaker 1: Um saying what he did with Cam and now he

2572
02:03:24,400 --> 02:03:26,720
Speaker 1: got a young quarterback here and I think, you know,

2573
02:03:26,920 --> 02:03:29,200
Speaker 1: Josh love what he doing. You alone, he loved what

2574
02:03:29,200 --> 02:03:31,240
Speaker 1: you do. I think you're growing this league, so I think,

2575
02:03:31,280 --> 02:03:33,160
Speaker 1: you know, he'll be fine. So the old one team

2576
02:03:33,240 --> 02:03:37,080
Speaker 1: give us. Now, there's been a couple of polls, one

2577
02:03:37,080 --> 02:03:40,480
Speaker 1: of them as Sho number one, number one. So you

2578
02:03:40,720 --> 02:03:43,760
Speaker 1: think about it. We had three running best with almost

2579
02:03:43,800 --> 02:03:46,760
Speaker 1: tenth Downard Yars in this league. You know, every running

2580
02:03:46,760 --> 02:03:50,480
Speaker 1: Batman Pro Bowls. We got Andre Johnson, we got um,

2581
02:03:50,720 --> 02:03:56,360
Speaker 1: Kellen Winslow, got Jeremy Shocky, we got Wolf DJ William

2582
02:03:56,760 --> 02:04:03,720
Speaker 1: Sean Teller Avery, that's very every holiday, you know. Um,

2583
02:04:03,760 --> 02:04:06,680
Speaker 1: So you know, um, I feel like we would have

2584
02:04:06,720 --> 02:04:09,680
Speaker 1: been any team, and you know, college did your son.

2585
02:04:11,520 --> 02:04:14,680
Speaker 1: I'll probably man know, I kind of wanted him to

2586
02:04:14,680 --> 02:04:17,000
Speaker 1: go down front the jump. I just hope he, you know,

2587
02:04:17,040 --> 02:04:20,400
Speaker 1: stay committed to there and I like the um. I

2588
02:04:20,520 --> 02:04:22,760
Speaker 1: like what they're doing over there, you know um me

2589
02:04:23,000 --> 02:04:27,080
Speaker 1: um saying um Devin, you know, and my son style similar.

2590
02:04:27,120 --> 02:04:29,440
Speaker 1: So I think my son, don't he trained hard? Well,

2591
02:04:29,440 --> 02:04:31,680
Speaker 1: he will, he gonna train hard, don't he keep working?

2592
02:04:31,720 --> 02:04:33,400
Speaker 1: And I think he'd be fine with it. You ever

2593
02:04:33,480 --> 02:04:40,240
Speaker 1: think about maybe nah, Yeah, you know, I'll take it

2594
02:04:40,320 --> 02:04:42,200
Speaker 1: one of the other time and one day other time.

2595
02:04:42,880 --> 02:04:48,480
Speaker 1: I never thought about that oh in a perfect situation.

2596
02:04:48,800 --> 02:04:52,360
Speaker 1: He got two guys who did great thing in this league. Um,

2597
02:04:52,480 --> 02:04:54,240
Speaker 1: he got guys who won't come out here and compete

2598
02:04:54,280 --> 02:04:56,600
Speaker 1: every day. And I know he's gonna compete. Just being

2599
02:04:56,640 --> 02:04:59,000
Speaker 1: here is a short time. And there a great kid,

2600
02:04:59,160 --> 02:05:03,320
Speaker 1: he understanding position man, got great as little body, real big.

2601
02:05:03,360 --> 02:05:06,080
Speaker 1: I think long she just keep working, he'll be fine.

2602
02:05:06,720 --> 02:05:08,240
Speaker 1: What was it about this team that made you want

2603
02:05:08,240 --> 02:05:09,680
Speaker 1: to come here? I just I just liked the how

2604
02:05:09,760 --> 02:05:12,600
Speaker 1: that's me going against their defense who it was tough,

2605
02:05:13,160 --> 02:05:15,040
Speaker 1: you know, the front seven was real tough man and

2606
02:05:15,720 --> 02:05:17,400
Speaker 1: and I felt like, you know, it was watching and

2607
02:05:17,440 --> 02:05:20,840
Speaker 1: shady then seeing a young quarterback even when I got

2608
02:05:20,880 --> 02:05:23,080
Speaker 1: in the building, just saying how much the young quarterback

2609
02:05:23,120 --> 02:05:26,400
Speaker 1: love the game of football? And I think everybody just following,

2610
02:05:26,640 --> 02:05:28,560
Speaker 1: just working every day, I think we could be fine.

2611
02:05:28,680 --> 02:05:32,800
Speaker 1: What about Sean McDermot would whatever you know, y'all about

2612
02:05:32,800 --> 02:05:36,040
Speaker 1: team man, all about team family and want everybody be

2613
02:05:36,040 --> 02:05:39,320
Speaker 1: on the same page and details, very details, and I

2614
02:05:39,360 --> 02:05:41,720
Speaker 1: think that's what you need, you know, he he him,

2615
02:05:41,760 --> 02:05:43,720
Speaker 1: look at the bitch be picture right now. He always

2616
02:05:43,720 --> 02:05:46,160
Speaker 1: take small stuff one step at the time, and that's

2617
02:05:46,200 --> 02:05:48,680
Speaker 1: the key. You know, you get better. Take one day

2618
02:05:48,680 --> 02:05:51,280
Speaker 1: other time, you know, get better, and then going in

2619
02:05:51,320 --> 02:05:53,800
Speaker 1: the right right the restaurant, that's the one up. It's small,

2620
02:05:53,960 --> 02:05:57,920
Speaker 1: like small, small places, you'd be fine. Girty six year

2621
02:05:57,960 --> 02:06:01,920
Speaker 1: old running back Frank Gore the Buffalo Bills. I'm really

2622
02:06:01,920 --> 02:06:06,200
Speaker 1: curious to see how this works out. Steve Niners, Colts, Dolphins,

2623
02:06:06,240 --> 02:06:09,760
Speaker 1: now Bills, five time Pro Bowl. I'm just curious to

2624
02:06:09,760 --> 02:06:12,280
Speaker 1: see what role he plays here. Obviously he started out

2625
02:06:12,320 --> 02:06:14,560
Speaker 1: talking about his role as a leader and a sort

2626
02:06:14,600 --> 02:06:17,800
Speaker 1: of a guidepost for these young players. But on the field,

2627
02:06:17,800 --> 02:06:19,560
Speaker 1: as you said, if he can run, and I think

2628
02:06:19,560 --> 02:06:22,280
Speaker 1: he can, how do they use him? How when will

2629
02:06:22,320 --> 02:06:24,520
Speaker 1: they use him? How do they apportion all those snaps

2630
02:06:24,560 --> 02:06:27,960
Speaker 1: out between him and Shady and everybody back there. I

2631
02:06:28,000 --> 02:06:30,600
Speaker 1: don't know. That's a sixty four dollar question, and I

2632
02:06:30,640 --> 02:06:33,240
Speaker 1: don't think the Bills, even if they do know, would

2633
02:06:33,320 --> 02:06:35,160
Speaker 1: want anybody else to know. I mean, I think it's

2634
02:06:35,200 --> 02:06:37,040
Speaker 1: probably something that played close to the vest. How they're

2635
02:06:37,040 --> 02:06:39,240
Speaker 1: going to deploy that, But I don't know this. I

2636
02:06:39,400 --> 02:06:42,600
Speaker 1: think it's my call. I don't know what Bills fans

2637
02:06:43,200 --> 02:06:45,360
Speaker 1: as a whole would expect from Frank Gore. But I

2638
02:06:45,680 --> 02:06:50,920
Speaker 1: think this Frank Gore has consistently exceeded everybody's expectations every

2639
02:06:51,000 --> 02:06:52,840
Speaker 1: year of his career, and I think he'll probably do

2640
02:06:52,880 --> 02:06:54,280
Speaker 1: the same here in Buffalo. I think he'll be a

2641
02:06:54,280 --> 02:06:56,840
Speaker 1: pleasant surprise and I think people will be happy they've

2642
02:06:56,880 --> 02:06:59,080
Speaker 1: got him on this squad this year. And no matter

2643
02:06:59,120 --> 02:07:01,600
Speaker 1: what that means, whether he gets a lot of opportunity

2644
02:07:01,720 --> 02:07:03,480
Speaker 1: or a little, I think Frank Gore will excelled. And

2645
02:07:03,560 --> 02:07:05,160
Speaker 1: whatever they ask him, we're going to find out. And

2646
02:07:05,400 --> 02:07:07,760
Speaker 1: a couple of practices left going into the day. Going

2647
02:07:07,800 --> 02:07:11,080
Speaker 1: into today's first mini camp session, Sean McDermott was asked

2648
02:07:11,080 --> 02:07:13,760
Speaker 1: about these three days in Mini camp, in these final

2649
02:07:13,840 --> 02:07:16,920
Speaker 1: three days of spring practice before training camp. Here's what

2650
02:07:17,000 --> 02:07:19,360
Speaker 1: McDermott said when he was asked to talk about his

2651
02:07:19,520 --> 02:07:22,480
Speaker 1: goals for this week here at One Bills Drive. Yeah,

2652
02:07:22,520 --> 02:07:26,680
Speaker 1: it's a continuation of what we started really back in

2653
02:07:26,720 --> 02:07:30,480
Speaker 1: Phase one. So and I've been encouraged with the with

2654
02:07:30,560 --> 02:07:34,680
Speaker 1: the participation, with the attitude, with the work ethic. The

2655
02:07:34,760 --> 02:07:38,440
Speaker 1: guys are coming together. You know, certainly there's a challenge

2656
02:07:38,440 --> 02:07:40,400
Speaker 1: there with the number of guys we've had out in

2657
02:07:40,440 --> 02:07:43,400
Speaker 1: particular on the offensive side of the ball, trying to

2658
02:07:42,320 --> 02:07:45,920
Speaker 1: build the build the continuity, and get guys acclimated to

2659
02:07:46,000 --> 02:07:49,400
Speaker 1: what we do. Aside from that, however, we're I feel

2660
02:07:49,400 --> 02:07:50,680
Speaker 1: like we're in a good spot with a lot of

2661
02:07:50,680 --> 02:07:53,520
Speaker 1: work to do. Yet I agree with that, right see

2662
02:07:53,640 --> 02:07:55,760
Speaker 1: good first day. It seems they're reviewing the tape now,

2663
02:07:55,800 --> 02:07:57,840
Speaker 1: but there's awful lot of work to do and a

2664
02:07:57,840 --> 02:08:00,480
Speaker 1: lot as we will review it to start of guys

2665
02:08:00,840 --> 02:08:03,320
Speaker 1: not on the field right now. Again, not pushing the

2666
02:08:03,360 --> 02:08:05,880
Speaker 1: panic button. It's not a big deal now, but it does,

2667
02:08:06,000 --> 02:08:07,880
Speaker 1: I would think affect the schedule of what they had

2668
02:08:07,880 --> 02:08:09,840
Speaker 1: hoped to get done this spring, right yeah. And I

2669
02:08:10,240 --> 02:08:14,000
Speaker 1: keep thinking sitting here about what's gonna be like when

2670
02:08:14,000 --> 02:08:15,840
Speaker 1: this team lines up, how many games are gonna win

2671
02:08:15,840 --> 02:08:17,400
Speaker 1: another season? And then I thought, you know what, it's

2672
02:08:17,400 --> 02:08:20,879
Speaker 1: gonna be just as fun watching this team take shape

2673
02:08:21,040 --> 02:08:25,120
Speaker 1: during training camp. Who's going to emerge as these you know,

2674
02:08:25,120 --> 02:08:28,280
Speaker 1: all these new faces, And like Chris Brown informed us,

2675
02:08:28,800 --> 02:08:31,560
Speaker 1: fifty percent of this roster could be brand new when

2676
02:08:31,600 --> 02:08:33,560
Speaker 1: they take the field this year. And of course a

2677
02:08:33,560 --> 02:08:35,520
Speaker 1: lot of that has to do with all the overhaul

2678
02:08:35,560 --> 02:08:38,280
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the football around Josh Allen.

2679
02:08:38,680 --> 02:08:42,560
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, I'm looking just as forward to

2680
02:08:42,600 --> 02:08:45,480
Speaker 1: the next step of this process as I am this

2681
02:08:45,680 --> 02:08:48,560
Speaker 1: mini camp that we've been looking forward to since Phase one.

2682
02:08:49,360 --> 02:08:51,480
Speaker 1: But then and we've got, you know what, six weeks

2683
02:08:51,520 --> 02:08:54,480
Speaker 1: or so before training camp begins, something like that, and

2684
02:08:55,720 --> 02:09:00,440
Speaker 1: it's I'm I'm really really looking forward to seeing this

2685
02:09:00,520 --> 02:09:02,960
Speaker 1: team come together because they've got a lot of new,

2686
02:09:03,320 --> 02:09:06,280
Speaker 1: very talented pieces that you know, maybe more so than

2687
02:09:06,320 --> 02:09:08,600
Speaker 1: they've had in a long, long time. A breakcare, we're

2688
02:09:08,640 --> 02:09:10,760
Speaker 1: back with more One Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive

2689
02:09:10,800 --> 02:09:26,160
Speaker 1: and this is Buffalo Bill's reading. Okay, so what have

2690
02:09:26,240 --> 02:09:29,360
Speaker 1: we learned? Presented by Advanced Alarm providing Western New York's

2691
02:09:29,400 --> 02:09:32,360
Speaker 1: homes and businesses with the finance and Security and Home

2692
02:09:32,400 --> 02:09:35,160
Speaker 1: Theater the preferred alarm and home theater provider of the

2693
02:09:35,200 --> 02:09:37,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. There's a lot to learn in today's show.

2694
02:09:37,600 --> 02:09:39,280
Speaker 1: I thought there's a lot going on in today's show.

2695
02:09:39,400 --> 02:09:43,240
Speaker 1: We had good guests, including Michael Robinson, former NFL fullback

2696
02:09:43,280 --> 02:09:46,160
Speaker 1: now with the NFL Network, who a week ago on

2697
02:09:46,320 --> 02:09:48,800
Speaker 1: the NFL Network said the Bills, the Buffalo Bills will

2698
02:09:48,800 --> 02:09:52,480
Speaker 1: win the AFC East this year. Michael Robinson elaborated on

2699
02:09:52,520 --> 02:09:56,720
Speaker 1: our show today, you have a young nucleus. I mean,

2700
02:09:57,000 --> 02:09:59,360
Speaker 1: I love what I saw out of the quarterback Josh Allen.

2701
02:09:59,560 --> 02:10:02,080
Speaker 1: They seemed like he's continuing to take the next step.

2702
02:10:02,120 --> 02:10:04,320
Speaker 1: You hear reports that he's starting to get involved in

2703
02:10:04,720 --> 02:10:06,840
Speaker 1: game planning and plays that he likes and all of

2704
02:10:06,840 --> 02:10:09,440
Speaker 1: those types of things. I think mister dave Ball will

2705
02:10:09,480 --> 02:10:12,080
Speaker 1: be able to use his use his skill set and

2706
02:10:12,120 --> 02:10:14,960
Speaker 1: be able to turn the AFC He's upside down. The

2707
02:10:15,040 --> 02:10:17,600
Speaker 1: defense is there Sean McDermot. I've talked to him during

2708
02:10:17,640 --> 02:10:21,520
Speaker 1: the owners meetings, and he's very serious about being able

2709
02:10:21,560 --> 02:10:23,920
Speaker 1: to put pressure on the quarterback and then this secondary.

2710
02:10:24,000 --> 02:10:26,360
Speaker 1: Some of the things that they do with the secondary

2711
02:10:26,400 --> 02:10:29,840
Speaker 1: I have never seen before. I mean just the way

2712
02:10:29,880 --> 02:10:31,600
Speaker 1: that they play their cover two in the field and

2713
02:10:31,600 --> 02:10:33,920
Speaker 1: then when they play closer to the goal line. Just

2714
02:10:34,200 --> 02:10:36,040
Speaker 1: just some of the different things that they do to

2715
02:10:36,760 --> 02:10:40,080
Speaker 1: to to make quarterback life a living hell. I just

2716
02:10:40,200 --> 02:10:41,920
Speaker 1: love what they do on the defensive side of ball.

2717
02:10:43,000 --> 02:10:45,520
Speaker 1: He's a fan. Michael Robinson is a fan of the

2718
02:10:45,520 --> 02:10:49,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, no question about that. Ken Darcy, those quarterbacks coach,

2719
02:10:49,280 --> 02:10:51,080
Speaker 1: joined this first time we ever talked with him, and

2720
02:10:51,160 --> 02:10:54,200
Speaker 1: he gave us his early impressions of Josh Allen, who

2721
02:10:54,200 --> 02:10:56,280
Speaker 1: he's been working with for the past couple of months now.

2722
02:10:58,280 --> 02:11:00,760
Speaker 1: Josh been great. I mean obvious, you know, he's got

2723
02:11:00,840 --> 02:11:03,280
Speaker 1: all those physical tools and everything like that that everybody

2724
02:11:03,280 --> 02:11:05,160
Speaker 1: talks about. But the thing I've been really impressed with

2725
02:11:05,320 --> 02:11:08,040
Speaker 1: is just the intelligence and how smart he is from

2726
02:11:08,080 --> 02:11:10,240
Speaker 1: not you know, really knowing him that well or anything

2727
02:11:10,280 --> 02:11:14,480
Speaker 1: like that kind of come before coming here. Very intelligent,

2728
02:11:14,640 --> 02:11:17,120
Speaker 1: hard worker, you know, studies the game, puts it in

2729
02:11:17,200 --> 02:11:20,240
Speaker 1: a lot of time, you know, and a great leader.

2730
02:11:20,240 --> 02:11:22,840
Speaker 1: And I think all those traits are you know, what

2731
02:11:23,040 --> 02:11:25,720
Speaker 1: make him you know, uh, you know, are hopefully going

2732
02:11:25,760 --> 02:11:29,520
Speaker 1: to continue to grow and continue to get better. Ken Dorsey,

2733
02:11:29,600 --> 02:11:31,160
Speaker 1: I need to hear more from Ken Dorsey. I said,

2734
02:11:31,160 --> 02:11:32,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna get him back. You got to get him back.

2735
02:11:32,800 --> 02:11:34,280
Speaker 1: We got we got to pin him down on a

2736
02:11:34,280 --> 02:11:36,120
Speaker 1: couple of he was up against it, had to lead

2737
02:11:36,160 --> 02:11:38,720
Speaker 1: him go to a meeting. Yeah, he was good. Hey.

2738
02:11:39,000 --> 02:11:41,360
Speaker 1: Twitter poll today was interesting and got a pretty good

2739
02:11:41,440 --> 02:11:43,839
Speaker 1: response where you were asking you about the Buffalo defense

2740
02:11:44,240 --> 02:11:47,600
Speaker 1: and which unit will be most impactful for the Buffalo

2741
02:11:47,720 --> 02:11:51,160
Speaker 1: defense this year, the defensive line, the linebacking crew, or

2742
02:11:51,200 --> 02:11:53,840
Speaker 1: perhaps the secondary. The final count on the Twitter poll

2743
02:11:53,920 --> 02:11:55,920
Speaker 1: with more than six hundred votes in which part of

2744
02:11:55,920 --> 02:11:58,080
Speaker 1: the bill's defense will have the biggest impact this year.

2745
02:11:58,360 --> 02:12:01,760
Speaker 1: Forty three percent of you say defensive line, thirty six

2746
02:12:01,800 --> 02:12:05,240
Speaker 1: percent say the secondary, only twenty two percent say linebackers.

2747
02:12:05,280 --> 02:12:07,200
Speaker 1: We had good arguments made for all three units, but

2748
02:12:07,280 --> 02:12:09,200
Speaker 1: I would go with a defensive line. I told you why,

2749
02:12:09,320 --> 02:12:11,720
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver. I think is a difference maker, maybe a

2750
02:12:11,760 --> 02:12:13,720
Speaker 1: bit of a game changer upfront for the Bills. Yeah.

2751
02:12:13,800 --> 02:12:16,200
Speaker 1: For me, I was going with the defensive secondary because

2752
02:12:16,240 --> 02:12:18,600
Speaker 1: I think that's where the difference will shot will take place.

2753
02:12:18,640 --> 02:12:21,080
Speaker 1: I think that there's gonna be a rise in turnovers,

2754
02:12:21,120 --> 02:12:22,520
Speaker 1: and I think the secondary is going to be the

2755
02:12:22,520 --> 02:12:24,880
Speaker 1: guys catching the ball. And I think because now it

2756
02:12:24,920 --> 02:12:27,960
Speaker 1: may be as a result of upper of an elevated

2757
02:12:28,160 --> 02:12:30,920
Speaker 1: pass rush, but I think because of the quality of

2758
02:12:31,000 --> 02:12:32,600
Speaker 1: dbs back there, I think they're gonna make a lot

2759
02:12:32,600 --> 02:12:34,440
Speaker 1: more plays on the ball, and I think you're going

2760
02:12:34,480 --> 02:12:36,280
Speaker 1: to notice them more than you have in the past.

2761
02:12:36,400 --> 02:12:39,040
Speaker 1: Day one of the mandatory mini camp today, and the
