00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 2: Uh welcome to a Tuesday edition of One Bill's Live.

7
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: A lot going on here at One Bill's Drive today.

8
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: Not only are the players on day two of their

9
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: off season voluntary strength and conditioning program, of which, according

10
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: to Brandon Bean and coach McDermott, about ninety percent attendance

11
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: here at the outset. In terms of the roster, we

12
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 2: also heard from Brandon Bean today who gave a very

13
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 2: important update on a number of things, but chief among

14
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 2: them that DeMar Hamlin has been cleared fully cleared to

15
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: resume his playing career. So he had to go to

16
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: his last specialist last Friday. That went well, And we'll

17
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 2: hear from Brandon Bean a little bit just exactly how

18
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: all of this came to Fruition. But Deamar Hamlin is

19
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: back here working out with his teammates and he's just kids,

20
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: taking it a step at a time.

21
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's part of the team, and I think too.

22
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: When we also heard Sean McDermott today and he acknowledged that,

23
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot more going on. We saw

24
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: this at the end of last year as well. It's

25
00:01:54,840 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: a big deal mentally and spiritually for these guys because

26
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: they were guys making deals with God. You know, when

27
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: Tomorrow was down, they were like, oh, man, I don't

28
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: care what happens, just get him out of it. You know, Well,

29
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: here he is, He's back. And so, you know, I

30
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: think a lot of guys I've mentioned, We've mentioned a

31
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: lot on the show, the guys, you know, they just

32
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: put the zap on the team for a minute last year, right,

33
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: and a lot of guys were traumatized by it. And

34
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: let alone Tomorrow physically traumatized. And how's he going to feel,

35
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: you know when he gets out there? And and Sean

36
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: the way to hear Sean speak, that was kind of

37
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: job one, really was. It was the mental aspect of it,

38
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: getting everybody in the right headspace physically. They trust the

39
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: doctors and every single and without exception Brandon Bean and

40
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 1: we'll let you listen to it in a minute, but

41
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean said, every specialist available said he's good to go.

42
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 3: It's good to go.

43
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: And I thought it was important that Sean mcdermoty, who

44
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: also addressed the media today, said, you know, we are

45
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: going to provide our full support for the mental side

46
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: of this return as well, because I think to your point,

47
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: seeing the toll it took on the players who weren't

48
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: even physically impacted by it because it didn't happen to them,

49
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: were as you said, emotionally traumatized by it. Imagine imagine

50
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 2: where DeMar Hammond was emotionally so. And I think, much

51
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 2: like any physical injury, there will be a mental hurdle

52
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: to clear here, knowing that this is not just a

53
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: contact sport, it's a collision sport. So there are steps

54
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: still to be taken here. But this is very very

55
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: encouraging news that came down today here at One Bill's Drive.

56
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: There's a bunch of other stuff as well, So just

57
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: to kind of lay it out for you in terms

58
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,559
Speaker 2: of what we have for you on the show today,

59
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: you will hear from Brandon Beem, Buffalo Bill's general manager,

60
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: addressed the media a short time ago, and we'll have

61
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: some of his more notable comments to pass along to you.

62
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: We'll do that here shortly, and then also addressing the media,

63
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: Coach McDermott as well as Josh Allen, so we'll get

64
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: some of those comments over to you as well so

65
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: you can hear just where they sit. You know, Sean

66
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: McDermott obviously going to be calling plays on the defensive

67
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: side of the ball this year. That's a new thing

68
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 2: and probably the biggest change to how the thing's going

69
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 2: to look on the field on Sundays next year. Knowing

70
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: that the defense, the offensive coordinator and special teams coordinator

71
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: are both in year two with Ken Dorsey and Matt Smiley,

72
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 2: that's not changing, but the defense could look pretty different

73
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: from what we've seen in recent years with a different

74
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 2: person calling the plays as we saw with the offense

75
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: last year and special teams to a certain extent. So

76
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 2: we'll cover ground on that as well with coach McDermott

77
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: and some pretty interesting comments from Josh Allen, who just

78
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 2: addressed the media a short time ago. I would say

79
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 2: the most notable of which Steve was I have never

80
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 2: been more focused on football than I am now.

81
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

82
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: I mean that's a guy who I always felt was

83
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 2: pretty locked in.

84
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure he was, and he probably was. I

85
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: think one of the things about about Josh is and

86
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: and for every guy, he was as focused as he

87
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: could be all the time doing everything. I think now,

88
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: I think you get to a point in your life

89
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: as a veteran and as a player, and where your

90
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: identity is so wrapped up in and certainly you know

91
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: his personal life and all that stuff going on, He's

92
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: probably putting pressure on himself in a different way now

93
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: than he ever has, and I think he feels it,

94
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: and good for him. I mean, I don't think he

95
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: I think he's not going to buckle under that kind

96
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: of pressure and they never had before, right, I think

97
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: I think he feels differently about this season going in,

98
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: at least at this early stage of the season.

99
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,559
Speaker 2: I think we've said this a long time about Josh.

100
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 2: He is one of the most self aware players that

101
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: I have ever been around, covering this team for more

102
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 2: than twenty years, one of the most self aware players

103
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 2: I've ever been around. And I think he expressed some

104
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 2: more of that today. So we'll have Josh Allen's comments

105
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 2: for you to listen to as well a little bit

106
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,799
Speaker 2: later on in the show. But first to the headline

107
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: of the day, Damar Hamlin being cleared to return to

108
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 2: full physical activity. Here is Brandon Bean lending some details

109
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 2: to that. Coming to fruition.

110
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 4: Damar saw his last specialists on Friday, so he's he

111
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 4: saw when long and short of it, when he left

112
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 4: Cincinnati came here, it was Buffalo General. He saw a

113
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 4: couple of specialists here in Buffalo, and then since then

114
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 4: he's seen three additional specialists, most recently on Friday.

115
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: And you know, they're all in agreement.

116
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 3: It's not two to one or three to one or

117
00:06:59,200 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 3: anything like that.

118
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 4: All in lockstep of what this was and that he

119
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 4: has cleared resumed full activities, just like anyone else who

120
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 4: was coming back from an injury or whatever. So he's

121
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 4: he's fully cleared. He's here, and he is of the mindset.

122
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 4: He's in a great headspace to come back and make

123
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 4: his return.

124
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 3: That's pretty big.

125
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean three specialists presumably you know well he

126
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: said three idiology background.

127
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: Said three is not three to one or four to one. Yeah,

128
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: I don't know how many special.

129
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 2: Reading three specialists he saw since he left UC Medical

130
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: Center in Cincinnati. Over the course of the last couple

131
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 2: of months, few months, he had to see three specialists

132
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 2: and on more than one occasion, because yes, we kept

133
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: hearing how he's always got to go back to that

134
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 2: specialist again, always got to go back to that specialist again.

135
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: Got a few more meetings with specialists, so three specialists,

136
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 2: probably multiple meetings for all of them, and they were unanimous, Yeah,

137
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 2: he is good to go for physical activity. And they

138
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 2: all came to the same conclusion as to what transpired.

139
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: Right, That's the key. They had to find out exactly

140
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: what happened and how it happened, and they all agree

141
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: on that and what that means going forward. So huge

142
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: news for DeMar and his career and for all of

143
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: us who walked through that last month of the regular

144
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: season with the team and through the playoffs.

145
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 3: It was.

146
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: It's easy to forget it now that it's all turned

147
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: out so well.

148
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: But and I don't know if they've as a team

149
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 2: officially marked it in Penn at the safety position, but

150
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 2: they certainly know where things stand better than we do

151
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 2: out here. Just learning today that he's fully cleared for

152
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,719
Speaker 2: physical activity. But I would like to think that that

153
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 2: shores up the safety position all the more if they

154
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 2: believe going forward the steps that he has to take

155
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 2: are more formality than a question. If you know what

156
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 2: I mean, because he's entering year or three. He's under

157
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: contract and his rookie deal. He's got two years left

158
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:09,599
Speaker 2: on that thing. So I think what some people not

159
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 2: knowing about Damorrow's situation might have previously said is still

160
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 2: a thin position. You may not say that anymore if

161
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 2: you know Hamlin's part of the mix. Now, that's right,

162
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: the safety spot, Yeah, exactly, Taylor rap Poyer back, hide

163
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 2: healthy Hamlin, cam Lewis. I mean, suddenly you got five

164
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 2: guys there, and then whatever you do with Benford could

165
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 2: make it even deeper.

166
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 3: That's right.

167
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: Now, It's like, oh, okay, we're pretty flush at that point,

168
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: right at that's spot. So that's it changes everything having

169
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: and plus for what we've heard as well, there's all

170
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: he knows what's going on, right, I mean, he knows

171
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,599
Speaker 1: the defense. He was on the field, started in it

172
00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: and played it at a high level. So that does Jey.

173
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: That's a quality player that you get back into your rotation.

174
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: You know, you've got these Look at all the names.

175
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: Zane Anderson, which the guy they signed for Damar micah Uh.

176
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: They got Jared Maiden, who's a six foot two hundred

177
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: and five pounder out of Alabama, that jess Out has

178
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: been out of college one year, Jordan Poyer of course,

179
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: and Taylor Rapp, the guy from the Rams. So they

180
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: got some guys.

181
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 2: Now it's suddenly I think it changes the conversation going

182
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: into the draft, is my point.

183
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I don't because early on, you know, because

184
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: of where the roster wasn't where we perceived it to be.

185
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: They were taking that the defensive back out of Alabama

186
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: for sure, right because you know what I.

187
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 2: Mean, And I'm not and I'm not saying they won't

188
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 2: draft a safety. They can still go ahead and do it,

189
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: and they but you know, I think this provides when

190
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: we think about what Brandon Bean tries to do going

191
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 2: into the draft, it's to fill as many holes on

192
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 2: the roster as possible. Not knowing tomorrow's situation, you could

193
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 2: perceive safety to be a little bit bigger hole. But

194
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: now that he's cleared to resume physical activity and again

195
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 2: sitting on this side of the fence, we don't know

196
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 2: definitively whether this means unquestionable, one hundred percent full go,

197
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 2: good to go, no other worries, no other concerns. We

198
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: don't know that, but certainly the path that he's on

199
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 2: would indicate that he's traveling down a path to play again.

200
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 2: So I think with that in mind, it may alter

201
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 2: the feelings of the personnel department going into the draft

202
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 2: next week.

203
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: Well, we said, todmor you said the demor handling situation

204
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: aside even they asked Brandon today and I don't know

205
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: if we've got this sound or not. I kind of

206
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: don't think we do. Because it was a kind of

207
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: a side note. He said, what are your need he's

208
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 1: he goes, I don't know. I think we could line

209
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: up and play today, you know, and now certainly depth

210
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: and maybe getting somebody who can maybe jump in at

211
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: the top of the depth chart, maybe at the top

212
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: of the draft or something like that. But right now

213
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: they got guys they think they could. If everybody stayed

214
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: healthy throughout the season, they can line up and play

215
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: right now. So that's where they're sixty nine players on

216
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 1: the The needs are largely minimized from when the season

217
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 1: ended to now. Now going forward, you can make a case,

218
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: you know. Obviously he also mentioned the defensive tackles. I

219
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: mean that cupboard will be completely bare after this season,

220
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: and he says, okay, that's something you got to think

221
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: about in the draft. But you know I wrote this

222
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 1: down and you think about what you got all this

223
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: stuff besides who the player is available in the draft

224
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: sitting right in front of it, You got like five

225
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: things you got to consider. One is what grade you

226
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: have on this guy on your draft board? What's the

227
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: value of How is it match up to the value

228
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: of the pick? Do we need that position? That's three?

229
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: So is the grade the value and the need? Then

230
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,599
Speaker 1: is the guy big strong? Is he got traits that

231
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: we can draft? Or now can we trade out of

232
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: that spot? So as all those variables that go into

233
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: this and got you got to weigh every single spot,

234
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: not only your six picks for the Bills this year,

235
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: but all the picks for the teams in the draft

236
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: with you. So yeah, it's an monumental puzzle that where

237
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: all the parts are moving. But that's what you're looking at.

238
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: So you get into this draft without any true great

239
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: positional emergencies, but you still got all five of these

240
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: things you got to you gotta think about what grades

241
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: you have, what when it's your turn to pick, is

242
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: anybody worth that pick? Secondly, do you really is there

243
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: a position you really got to have. Is this guy available?

244
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: Can he play the spot? Can we start him and

245
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: play him? I mean, you're not gonna You're not gonna

246
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: pick a guy, a five to nine one buck eighty

247
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: guy to play nose tackle or can we get out

248
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: of this pick?

249
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 3: Right?

250
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: So all of that stuff goes on every single pick,

251
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: not just for the Bills, but for every team out there,

252
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: and the Bills have to monitor all thirty one of

253
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: the team, so it's a monumental task. But for right now,

254
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: the point is, I think the Bills feel like, Eh,

255
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: even if you know everything circles the drain in this draft,

256
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: we're still pretty good.

257
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 2: There is a decision to be made on Night one

258
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 2: of the draft, and that is whether the Bills stay

259
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 2: put at twenty seven, decide to move up, or decide

260
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 2: to slide back and maybe even completely out of Round

261
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 2: one and into Round two, picking up extra draft capital

262
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 2: in the process. Presumably. So there's that. Brandon Bean was

263
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 2: posed the question what is he more likely to do

264
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: based on the quality of the draft class. So here

265
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 2: is Brandon Bean's answer on the likelihood of moving up

266
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 2: or down in this year's draft.

267
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, tell me who's coming off the board.

268
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 4: And I'll tell you, if I was in Vegas right

269
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 4: now putting money down, I would say, if we were

270
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 4: going to do anything, it'd be more likely to go

271
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 4: back then go up. But listen, you're talking to a

272
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 4: guy who gets antsy at times and goes up and

273
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 4: gets guys, So Vegas probably would still go against what

274
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 4: I just suggested.

275
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 3: What happen.

276
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty funny that he's self aware enough to

277
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 2: know that even though what the draft class, what he's

278
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 2: expecting to happen, may leave him with no other option

279
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 2: than to get out of the first round, if somebody

280
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 2: gets within striking distance, he may go up. And that's

281
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 2: the exact thing that happened last year, Steve. There was

282
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 2: only one quarterback taken in front of the Bills in

283
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 2: last year's draft, and Bean was still running out of

284
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 2: players with first round grades and had to go up

285
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: two spots to get the last guy they had on

286
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 2: their board with a first round grade, which happened to

287
00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 2: be kye Elo. This year, you've got probably five quarterbacks

288
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 2: that are gonna go in front of the Bills before

289
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 2: you get to pick twenty seven.

290
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: You thrown in Hendon Hooker. I am okay, I am

291
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: good for you. I'm glad you got it, Glad you're

292
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: on my track.

293
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna happen. Get pushed up the board

294
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 2: every single year. So it's a much so, even though

295
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 2: the class might be watered down in terms of elite

296
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 2: talent at the very top of the board, the quarterbacks

297
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 2: may push enough of what you have first round grades

298
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 2: on down to within striking distance again where maybe Bean

299
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 2: goes up, which historically Steve he has done in round one.

300
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: So are you saying that he's never likeliest for us

301
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: to go out? You think it's you think that's smoke.

302
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 2: He has not moved back in round one in his

303
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 2: history as Bill's GM. He moved up twice to get

304
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 2: Josh Allen. He moved up again to get Tremaine Edmonds. Right,

305
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 2: and we're going to get to get Kyrie Elam.

306
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to eleven thirty with baited breath on

307
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: Thursday night next Thursday night, and we're not going to

308
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: have a pick. The only time, maybe I will be

309
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: so disappointed.

310
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 2: The only time they moved down was in twenty seventeen,

311
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 2: before Bean was the general manager, and that was the

312
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 2: seventeen draft when they moved from ten down to twenty

313
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 2: seven and took Tredavius. That was not on Bean's watch.

314
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 2: So that's where it is. His history is first round.

315
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 2: I'm going up to get somebody. So we'll see what happens,

316
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 2: and you know, we'll see it could be could be

317
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 2: any number of scenarios that come down the pike or

318
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 2: that Bean is presented with, and then he's just got

319
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 2: to take the one that he thinks helps his team

320
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 2: the most. Brandon talked about the depth in this year's

321
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 2: draft class, and he is of the opinion that the

322
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 2: elite talent is a little thin this year.

323
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 4: And look for the players that you like that fit

324
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 4: what you do and fit you've got defined roles if

325
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 4: you take them.

326
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 3: Hey, this guy is gonna come in.

327
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 4: He's gonna compete to start with player X, or he's

328
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 4: gonna be a really good backup for us year one,

329
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 4: maybe help us on special teams, but we think year

330
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 4: two he's a replacement for someone who's got an expiring contract.

331
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 4: So you know, every year it seems like there's variant opinions.

332
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 4: I mean, there's guys that will have in the fourth

333
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 4: round that go in the first they're better fits for

334
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 4: someone else, maybe as a skill set, maybe there's some

335
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 4: medical concerns, maybe personality really just it's not the type

336
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 4: of person that we want to deal with.

337
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 3: So we kind of set the board just for us

338
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 3: and go.

339
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 4: But no, I think I think as the draft goes down,

340
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 4: it's it starts getting there's there's some depth, it's just

341
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 4: not as high.

342
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 3: It's it's it's more a little bit later.

343
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 2: And that would lend credence to what we've heard about

344
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 2: this draft class. Steve that the best value is on

345
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 2: day two, in rounds two and three, where you know,

346
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: the elite talents off the board and now you're you're

347
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 2: in the meat and potatoes of the draft. And I

348
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: would say that also lends to the possibility of people

349
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 2: trying to get out at the bottom of round one

350
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 2: if the cupboard is bare when they're on the clock.

351
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 2: The problem is if all those if all five of

352
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 2: those quarterbacks are gone, is there going to be anybody

353
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 2: interested at the top of round two to go up

354
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 2: into round one? You know, whether it's for cost control

355
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 2: to get the fifty year option on a player that

356
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 2: they like, or if there is a quarterback there which

357
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 2: We've seen more teams do more teams have made that

358
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 2: move into the bottom of the first to do that

359
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 2: than anything. Although there are five traits after pick twenty

360
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 2: last year, just last.

361
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: Year, right, it gets to the point where that fifty

362
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: year options becomes really really valuable for some of these

363
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: teams who are going out on the edge, or particularly

364
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: a quarter like like let's let's use an obvious example,

365
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson Baltimore trades up to the thirty second spot

366
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: to get him. They got the extra fifth year option,

367
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: and now they got this MVP quarterback playing on the

368
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 1: franchise tag and he's five years into his deal. It's

369
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: a it's a big deal and they haven't spent a

370
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: dime over what they paid him.

371
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 3: As a rookie.

372
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 1: So that's huge. And teams are willing to sacrifice maybe

373
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 1: a few lower round picks to get up a couple

374
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: of spots to get that fifth year automatic, you know,

375
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: get the guy tied up for another year. That's a

376
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: huge factor. But I'm with you, Brownie, I'm you get

377
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: down into you know twenty some where the bills are

378
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,959
Speaker 1: at twenty seven. I mean, what other spot would there

379
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: be because there's not going to be a wide out.

380
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: The Bills would take him, right, I mean, the Bills

381
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: would take the wide out if they thought he was

382
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: going to be a first round to get that fifth

383
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: year option. Do you think there's gonna be another team

384
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: that season of one of the wideouts differently enough for

385
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: the Bills from the Bills to jump up and get

386
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 1: a fifth year on him and give up an extra pick.

387
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know what I mean. It would

388
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: have to be a point where some other team and

389
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: there it may be all he needs one some other

390
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: team to have one guy that they think is more

391
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: valuable than the thirty other teams in the picture. You know,

392
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: I don't know that there's going to be a guy

393
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: like that that deep. So I think Brandon Bean's right.

394
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: If you're gonna trade, you're gonna be out because somebody

395
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 1: else has got a guy who says, you know what,

396
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: I think this guy's going to be awesome, and nobody

397
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: else believes it.

398
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 3: Right.

399
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 2: Brandon was also asked about whether there is a position

400
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 2: they need to keep in the back of their mind

401
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 2: throughout the course of draft weekend because of expiring contracts

402
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 2: on their roster. Steve and I have mentioned this several

403
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 2: times we have talked about a specific position. Brandon Bean

404
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 2: taught about that very same position in terms of keeping

405
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 2: it in the back of his mind during the course

406
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 2: of the three day draft.

407
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, the one position that we don't have

408
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 4: a lot on the future is detackle. We don't at

409
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 4: this point. You know, AD's going into his last year.

410
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 4: De Kwon's going into his last year. Jordan was a

411
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 4: one year deal tem Settle last year. So if you were,

412
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 4: you know, poking at something that you know the Bills

413
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 4: would need to keep an eye on, that would probably

414
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 4: be where.

415
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 3: He'd start.

416
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 2: Defensive tackle. Four players expiring contracts on the current roster,

417
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 2: you need a young guy in the pipeline there for

418
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 2: not only for cost control, but for year over year continuity.

419
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 2: I mean, the Bills are fortunate that they got the

420
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 2: same four that they had in the fold last year

421
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 2: back again this year, getting Jordan Phillips back on a

422
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 2: one year deal, you know, and then they have the

423
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 2: other three guys guys who are on expiring contracts this year,

424
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 2: just like Phillips who signed a one year deal. So

425
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 2: are you bringing all four of those guys back again

426
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 2: next year? Probably not twenty twenty four, probably not.

427
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: So you go down, you go down the the you know,

428
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: list of guys. There's a bunch of defensive tackles in

429
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: this draft, and they're all you know, you got these guys,

430
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: And pretty quickly you get out of the top you

431
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: know six, and they start turning into these guys that

432
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 1: are six two three hundred pounds six two three oh five,

433
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: you know. And that's to me, I ain't big enough.

434
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: And I come from my own life experiences and teammates

435
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: and watching these guys out here play. I'm a big

436
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: fan of big I'm a big fan of big dudes.

437
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: And when you're drafting in the first stroud of the

438
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: NFL draft, I'll say it again, traits mean something. And

439
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: they are the great equal. They are the great separator.

440
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: When you've got traits, your high end and your ceiling

441
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: goes up exponentially. So when you get to twenty seven,

442
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: there's gonna be something. If there's a guy out there

443
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: with traits who's got shows, you know, some abilities as

444
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: well as being big and big, that guy kind of

445
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: elevates to me through the board. Now you know you're

446
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: gonna have a grade on him. And you know, I

447
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: mean you don't want to dip down right out of

448
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: that value for a guy. You don't want to reach

449
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: for a guy within the first round, but if he's

450
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: got traits, it seems like it always seems like less.

451
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 3: Of a reach.

452
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 1: Yes, because the guy could develop.

453
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 2: And I think there is enough talent there through the

454
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 2: first two days. It's not considered a particularly deep year

455
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 2: for a defensive tackle. You certainly have I have an

456
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 2: elite talent in Jalen Carter. Many people believe Elijah Cansey

457
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 2: is going to be the second guy off the board

458
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 2: at the position, but as you mentioned six one eighty one,

459
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 2: people are trying to paint him in the Aaron Donald mold.

460
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 2: And then you've got some interesting players after that. Mazzie Smith,

461
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 2: who never really put it all together at Michigan, but

462
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 2: some believe might be a better pro player than a

463
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: college player. And you've got Brian Brazi, who was the

464
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 2: number one high school recruit in the entire country when

465
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 2: he came out in twenty nineteen and ultimately went to Clemson,

466
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 2: had a little bit of a starcross career there. But

467
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 2: to me, that guy's a little bit of a dark

468
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 2: horse option.

469
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: I think he might not be around though.

470
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 2: At twenty seven.

471
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe big dudes are hard to find. Bra they are,

472
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: and I have.

473
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 2: Seen him go earlier than the Bills pick at twenty seven.

474
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 2: But I think he's kind of a dark horse option

475
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 2: for Buffalo. Wouldn't necessarily come here and go into a

476
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 2: starting role right away. But the guy can play, and

477
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 2: for a six foot five player, he is uncommonly athletic,

478
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 2: Like he moves like a six foot guy. Just his bend,

479
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 2: his strength, the way he can just body torque guys

480
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 2: to the ground. I you do a lot worse than

481
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 2: that guy.

482
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. The thing about Bristi is that I like at

483
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: the point of attack, like right when he engages with

484
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: offensive linemens, sometimes they can get in on him and

485
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: he has a hard time getting off them. But that guy,

486
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 1: I think the thing I noticed about him when he

487
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: comes free, the quarterback is not going to outrun him

488
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: into pockets. He's closes fast, he can move really good turnover,

489
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: and his legs tall. Big Bodi's right at three hundred pounds,

490
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: but he's long. He doesn't look lean though, you know,

491
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: and he can run a lot of big time stunts.

492
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: You see him when he closes and gets good plays.

493
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: You see, it's almost always crossing over and doing a

494
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: stunt with one of his line mates because he moves

495
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: so well. I don't know how good he'll be when

496
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 1: he has to stand in there and be just an

497
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: immovable object. That may not be his strength. He may

498
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 1: be able to do it, but he hasn't shown that

499
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: to me to be a strength. But yeah, I I

500
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: almost I'll say this. You're right, I'll say this if

501
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: he's there. I had no problem taking that guy if

502
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: he's there, because I think he's better than the twenty

503
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: seventh pick, and I think he'll have a spot.

504
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 2: I think that's a guy who will have a better

505
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 2: pro career than a college career. He lost one season

506
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 2: to an ACL injury last year. His head was someplace else,

507
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 2: much like it was for a lot of these Bills

508
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 2: players during the playoffs. Because he had a younger sister

509
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 2: who was dealing with a very serious brain cancer diagnosis,

510
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 2: and she ultimately passed away from the disease. That's going

511
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 2: to take a toll on you and keep you from

512
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 2: playing your best football. He actually had to sit out

513
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 2: two games because he just wasn't in the right frame

514
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 2: of right of mind. To play in light of his

515
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 2: sister's condition.

516
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: So, and I'll say this too, you think about a

517
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: team that would be more the most sensitive to that

518
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: and aware of how to handle that than the Buffalo. Yes,

519
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: so it's a good point you make Brownie that he's

520
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: been around the block and has some loss in his life,

521
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: you know, bless his heart going through that as a

522
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: twenty one year old.

523
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a lot.

524
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: It's a lot. So, yeah, I if he is there,

525
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: I'll just say it. If he's there, he's the guy.

526
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: I just don't think he will be.

527
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

528
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 2: There is one NFL note to pass along around the NFL,

529
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 2: brought to you by Kalida Healthy, Official Healthcare System of

530
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bill Adam Schefter reporting this, The Steelers are

531
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 2: bringing in Rams wide receiver Alan Robinson for a physical,

532
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 2: and if he passes the physical, it is believed that

533
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 2: a trade will in fact be consummated between the Steelers

534
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 2: and Rams for the Steelers to acquire the wide receiver.

535
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 2: Alan Robinson signed a big free agent deal with the

536
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 2: Rams last year and it did not pan out in

537
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 2: any way, shape or form.

538
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: It was a disaster.

539
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 2: He and Stafford just never clicked.

540
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 3: Well.

541
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: Stafford got hurt.

542
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, their offensive line was also really beat Upromise the

543
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 2: whole timing of the passing game. But it got to

544
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 2: a point where Stafford wasn't even looking for him. And

545
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 2: the only reason I know that is because I had

546
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 2: him on my fantasy team and it was bad. It

547
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 2: was bad, Steve. But let's think about this.

548
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: It looked good July, didn't it.

549
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 5: Though.

550
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 2: Let's quickly think about this though. Steelers receiving corps as

551
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 2: it currently stands Deontay Johnson, George Pickens, Anthony Miller, who

552
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 2: they picked up in free agency, Calvin Austin their fourth

553
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 2: round pick last year, and you add you add Alan

554
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 2: Robinson to that. Now there's a vet in the room.

555
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 2: That's a pretty good group. Yeah, not a blazing group,

556
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 2: but but a good group.

557
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 3: Good.

558
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 2: You got speed and you have size in the receiving corps.

559
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: There, it's a good move by Pittsburgh, right. I mean,

560
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: it seems like I don't know what they're giving up

561
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: for the guy.

562
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 2: Well, we'll see. He's got to pass the physical and

563
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 2: then we'll see what the compensation is. I can't expect

564
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 2: it to be if they can live with him, you

565
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 2: can't expect it to be after the season he had

566
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 2: last year. This is a by low situation.

567
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: Well it's a by low, but also you got you

568
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: gotta handle his contract, so it's not cheap. Taking the

569
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: contract is what the Rams are looking for.

570
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 2: And that might lower the lower the price tag even more.

571
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 2: Exactly so I might be able to get him for

572
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 2: a five. I mean, think about Brandon Thompson, what he

573
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 2: went for. He went for a five and a six

574
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 2: right Alan Robinson after the year he had mainly go

575
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 2: for a six, right, And you know, if you can

576
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 2: fit it under your CAP's and if you get taken

577
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 2: a flyer on him.

578
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: I don't say that I don't know anything about Alan Robinson.

579
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: I have no reason to believe he's a bad guy,

580
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: you know. But because so you're getting a guy that's

581
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: going to be a highly motivated to resurrect his career, yes,

582
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: and coming in to help a young quarterback. That's that's

583
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: it's a good move for Pittsburgh if they can pull

584
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: that off for cheap. Yeah, really good.

585
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 2: Ten million in base salary this year, ten million in

586
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 2: base salary next year, that's all the Steelers would be

587
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 2: responsible for. That's a bargain, that is for a veteran

588
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 2: receiver with proven production.

589
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, with his upside, it is certainly they need

590
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: to see the best Alan Robinson. But yeah, that's a

591
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: that's not you know, that could be a verious student move.

592
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: That's like trying to make a number with the dice

593
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: and rolling five dice.

594
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 6: You know.

595
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty good Odds.

596
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 2: Break time here. When we come back, we will hear

597
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 2: from one Josh Allen, who addressed the media today, had

598
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 2: some interesting comments on his commitment to the game itself,

599
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 2: along with his own self awareness about maybe being a

600
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 2: quarterback first and a football player second. We'll let him

601
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,719
Speaker 2: explain when we return here on One Bill's Live, presented

602
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 2: by Colida Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. We'll get back

603
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 2: to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you

604
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 2: here on a Tuesday, busy day here at One Bill's Drive.

605
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 2: Brandon Bean Sean McDermott both addressed the media. We played

606
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 2: some of the comments from Brandon Bean. We were going

607
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 2: to play you Josh Allen's comments as he met the

608
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 2: media a short time ago. We'll get to that a

609
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 2: little bit later in the show. Because Damar Hamlin has

610
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 2: just taken the podium. We're going to take you there

611
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 2: live right now.

612
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 3: You know.

613
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 7: First, I want to just start with saying I'm thankful

614
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 7: and I'm blessed. You know, I'm blessed to have a

615
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 7: wonderful medical staff and a wonderful wonderful trainers here who

616
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 7: treat me with the care of their children, and that

00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 3: You know, just to keep going in this journey that

620
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 3: I've been on so far.

621
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 7: With that being said, also, I would like to just

622
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 7: say how thankful I am to have wonderful coaches and

623
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 7: teammates here in Buffalo that just allowed me to grow mentally, physically,

624
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 7: spiritually each and every day so many different aspects. I

625
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,479
Speaker 7: learned so many different things from from my coaches here,

626
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 7: my teammates here, you know, the vets here. I'm always

627
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 7: learning here, and that's just a that's a wonderful environment

628
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 7: to be in and to be around. With that being said,

629
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 7: over these last few months, I've been on a journey

630
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 7: and I've seen, you know, some of the top professionals

631
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 7: across the Coming Tree, and their answers to me were

632
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 7: pretty much all the same. They were the same, and

633
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 7: this event was life changing, but it's not the end

634
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 7: of my story. So I'm here to announce that I

635
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 7: plan on making a comeback to the NFL.

636
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:19,919
Speaker 8: What uh.

637
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 7: So, the diagnosis of pretty much what happened to me

638
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 7: was basically commodio cordis. It's a direct blow at a

639
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 7: specific point in your heartbeat that causes cardiac arrest and

640
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 7: five to seven seconds later you fall out.

641
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 3: And that's pretty much what everyone's seen.

642
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 7: January second of this year, Kmmodio cordis is the leading

643
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 7: cause of death and youth and youth athletes across all sports.

644
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 7: So that's something that I personally will be taking a

645
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 7: step into make a change. And also with that being said,

646
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 7: you know, the all the awareness around CPR and the

647
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 7: access to have been lowering that number as well. My

648
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 7: heart is still in it, you know, my heart is

649
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:08,879
Speaker 7: still in the game.

650
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 5: Uh.

651
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 3: I love the game.

652
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 7: It's something I want to prove to myself, not nobody else,

653
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 7: you know, It's just I just want to show people

654
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 7: that that fear is a choice, that you know, you

655
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 7: can keep going in something without having the answers and

656
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 7: without knowing what's at the end of the tunnel or

657
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 7: you know, you might you might feel anxious, you might

658
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 7: feel any type of way, you know, but you just

659
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 7: keep putting that right foot in front of the left

660
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 7: horn and you keep going.

661
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 3: I want to stand for that, Like just getting back

662
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 3: out there with the guys. What was that feeling for

663
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 3: you when you first ended the building.

664
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 7: It was an anxious feeling at first, Uh, something similar

665
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 7: to like anxiety, you know, just dealing with everything over

666
00:35:55,560 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 7: the past few months. It was just it was a

667
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 7: it was a great feeling to just see my teammates again.

668
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 7: I say that the anxiousness was just from you know,

669
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 7: the last time they see me. It was so recent

670
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:12,080

672
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 7: from them. Anything that I don't understand or that I'm

673
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,920

Speaker 7: in front of the whole world, you know what I mean.

691

Speaker 7: my foundation, through the roof, I plan to save a

713
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 7: generation and generations to come. That's pretty much what my

714
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 7: dad did with me, you know. You know, he didn't

715

Speaker 7: come from the best background, didn't have the most the

716
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 7: most resources, but he always took me and my friends,

717
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 7: and you know, he wanted us to get He wanted

718
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:30,720
Speaker 7: to get us out of our environment.

719
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 3: He wanted to give us better opportunities.

720
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 2: You know.

721
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 7: He created AAU teams for us, he created community days,

722
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 7: three on three tournaments, you know, anything just.

723
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 3: To keep us active and keep us off the streets.

724
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 3: You know.

725
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 7: And one of his biggest things is your peers or

726
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 7: your biggest influences. So you know, I kind of took

727
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 7: that model in myself even before all of this, you know,

728
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 7: and wanted to do the same for the ones coming

729
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 7: after me. And through my foundation, I plan on generations.

730
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,879
Speaker 5: Are you wearing your number three jersey out trying to see?

731
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 5: Is that your practice jersey?

732
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 3: I just worked out? This is this is a little

733
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 3: this is this is just Bill's gear.

734
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,879
Speaker 5: Were you were you waiting you get to see work out?

735
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 5: Were you wearing a number three jersey with while you're

736
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 5: working out? Or how do you put on your practice jersey?

737
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 5: And what was that like to do so yesterday when

738
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 5: you did it?

739
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,280
Speaker 7: Well, we're just working out, We're not we're not playing

740
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 7: football technically yet, you know. So I'm day to day

741
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 7: with it, you know, I'm I'm just taking it one

742
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 7: day at a time. That's where I'm in this process.

743
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 11: Uh.

744
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 7: Anytime I try to think too forward, you know it

745
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 7: it gets cloudy. So I'm I'm riding the roller coaster

746
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 7: every emotions. I'm taking it one day at a time,

747
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,919
Speaker 7: and I'm trusting God. You know, I'm walking by faith.

748
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 12: You had to be so singularly focused to get to

749
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 12: the NFL. It takes so much to do that with

750
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 12: all your experience and everything you've been through, as your

751
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 12: perspective on actually playing and being in the NFL and

752
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 12: the game of football changed, or will you not know

753
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 12: that until maybe it gets a little bit closer to playing.

754
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,879
Speaker 7: The game gap well, you know, like you said, it's

755
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 7: it's kind of like my perspective has always been, even

756
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 7: before this situation, it was it was a blessing even

757
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 7: just to make it to the NFL, but to make

758
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 7: it out of my situation with almost with all the

759
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 7: scratch on me, and to have all the blessings come

760
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 7: in my way. You know, It's just been one of

761
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 7: those things where you I'm just trying to figure out

762
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 7: the best way to repay it, you know what I mean.

763
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 7: And I've been beating statistics my whole life, you know,

764
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 7: And some people might say that coming back to play

765
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 7: might not be the best option, but that's their opinion.

766
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 7: And like I said, I've been beating statistics my whole life.

767
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 7: So I like my chances here.

768
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 6: Marowin, did you reach the conclusion that you knew that

769
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 6: you wanted to come back and what was the process

770
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 6: like in you arriving at that decision?

771
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 7: Well, sitting in the hospital, bit, I think maybe that Saturday,

772
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 7: I think there were some games on, and you know,

773
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 7: this is around the time where I'm going through a

774
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 7: lot in my head, just trying to process everything that

775
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 7: was going on, but just watching watching teams play, watching

776
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:26,879
Speaker 7: other safeties play, that's where I just see, I seen

777
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 7: and felt my love for the game. And that's where

778
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,359
Speaker 7: I was just like, I don't want to be done yet.

779
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 7: And but you know, it was an extensive process to

780
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 7: to go through for medically, you know, to get cleared

781
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 7: and meet with doctors and.

782
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 3: Go here, go here, go here, go here.

783
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 7: So it was a lot of hurdles to go over

784
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 7: and a lot of steps to take necessarily. So I

785
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 7: would say, then, I.

786
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 13: Know Brandon said that you're fully cleared or things, you're

787
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 13: out there working, but is there a process still?

788
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 3: Do you check in with talk ors?

789
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: How does this work?

790
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 2: Or are you just basically going about your business unless.

791
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 7: You so I pretty much had my last appointment on Friday,

792
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 7: which was a checkup, and he pretty much told me

793
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 7: he pretty much recommended me to go back to playing

794
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 7: in a way because he said it would be good

795
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 7: for the mental health aspect of things, and which I agree,

796
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 7: you know, and just being around my teammates. The camaraderie

797
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 7: of the sport of football, you know, that's what makes

798
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,280
Speaker 7: this sport the best in the world, is the brotherhood

799
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 7: that it creates the unity that it creates between all

800
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 7: people of all aspects of life and just different journeys.

801
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 7: You know, it brings them together for one common goal.

802
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,800
Speaker 7: And you know, I feel like that's a direct correlation

803
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 7: of what happened to me that night, you know, just

804
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 7: bringing people together in.

805
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 3: Prayer, love. But that's what this sport does as well.

806
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 7: So my heart is in it completely. And you know,

807
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 7: it takes a lot to be great in this game,

808
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 7: and I got a long way to go. I got

809
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 7: a long journey to go, but I'm committed to it

810
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 7: each day, day in, day out. So I thank everybody

811
00:42:58,640 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 7: for being on this journey with me.

812
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 3: Pet During this time, I learned that I was always

813
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 3: I won't say always, but I learned that, you know, I.

814
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 7: Was doing the right things and living for the right things,

815
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 7: and the morals that I stood on in my life,

816
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 7: my entire life were.

817
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 3: Guided in the right direction.

818
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 7: So you know that's a testament to the people who

819
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 7: raised me, my mom and my dad, and you know,

820
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 7: it just it just it just gives me confidence, you know,

821
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 7: just seeing the reaction of once people learned who I was,

822
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 7: and you know, they actually got to know me and

823
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 7: know who I was, and it was just nothing but

824
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:42,800
Speaker 7: love and return for me because that's all I wanted

825
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 7: to put out into the world. So it's just a

826
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 7: testament to to who raised me. So you know, moving forward,

827
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,240
Speaker 7: I've done nothing but just trust my gut. I follow

828
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 7: my heart. I let my heart walk in the room

829
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,399
Speaker 7: before me, and I just leave with love any chance

830
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 7: that I can physically.

831
00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 14: From a lifting weights, running, working out standpoint right now,

832
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 14: I mean, are you pretty much do you have any

833
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 14: limitations or are you on a very similar program to

834
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 14: any other defensive safety physically?

835
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 7: You know, I'm pretty much building this thing up from

836
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,760
Speaker 7: zero to one hundred, you know. But that's the favorite

837
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:18,879
Speaker 7: part about the game. I love the process. I love

838
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 7: starting from nothing and building it up to something. You know,

839
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 7: in anything that you do, you have to love the

840
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,919
Speaker 7: process most. So I'm excited about it. I'm excited about

841
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 7: it physically, but the hardest hurdle was mentally.

842
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 3: You know.

843
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 7: It's it's like I said before, it's a roller coaster

844
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 7: of emotions. And I have the right people in my

845
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 7: corner to talk to and support me mentally, so I

846
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 7: trust them, and I trust the people here.

847
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,839
Speaker 3: I trust my medical team, and I know that I'm

848
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 3: in good hands.

849
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: All right.

850
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 2: That's Jamar Hamlin addressing the media. He was not anticipated

851
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 2: to be speaking to the media today, but that was

852
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 2: before we found out from Brandon Bean that he was

853
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 2: medically cleared for full physical activity earlier this week. After

854
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 2: meeting with one of his three specialists for the last

855
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 2: time for the final all clear last Friday, and Hamlin

856
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 2: stepped to the microphone, as you just heard a few

857
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 2: moments ago and said, these last few months, I've been

858
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 2: on a journey and saw a lot of top professionals

859
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 2: and all their answers were the same. This event was

860
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 2: life changing, but not the end of my story. So

861
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 2: I'm announcing I plan on making a comeback to the NFL,

862
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 2: which is certainly great to hear Steve, but you heard

863
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 2: DeMar say it himself and we were talking about it

864
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 2: earlier in the show. Somebody has a major knee injury.

865
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 2: There's mental hurdles to clear. This was a near death experience. Yeah,

866
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 2: he was dead playing the sport that he loves, that

867
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 2: is his career, and now he's going to try to

868
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,439
Speaker 2: go back to that after what was a life altering event.

869
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 2: Quite literally, that's like seven or eight mental hurdles, is

870
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 2: it not.

871
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's definitely bigger than you know, the same

872
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: ankle surgery. And I don't want I don't want this

873
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: to get lost in this either. This is a moving thing.

874
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: It's pretty moving the entire country, and were not the

875
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,439
Speaker 1: entire country, but certainly I think the football world.

876
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,240
Speaker 2: It was a nationally televised game.

877
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 1: Across the league, and I think it did spill over

878
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:33,800
Speaker 1: into out the world outside of foot It was on

879
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 1: nightly national news for a week and it has it

880
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: to this point. It could not have turned out more positively,

881
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: and today is one more huge step on that. I mean,

882
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 1: you know, what are we looking at here? What happens

883
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: if you know? I mean now you got to think,

884
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: how good could it turn out other than this, Well,

885
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,320
Speaker 1: it could be you know, he turned out and the

886
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:01,879
Speaker 1: Bills go to the playoffs, go to the super Bowl,

887
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: he makes the game winning interception, is the MVP of

888
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl the next year. That kind of thing's

889
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 1: on the table now. I mean this is you know,

890
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 1: you never know where this thing is gonna go. Because

891
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: it really did the next week when when Nahim Hines

892
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 1: runs that kickoff back, it had a supernatural feel to

893
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 1: the impact it had on everybody's lives, and today is

894
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:29,720
Speaker 1: one more step and Damar Hamblin, you know, being something,

895
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 1: this whole thing, being something bigger than just a football game.

896
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 3: It was so here we are.

897
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's awesome. So yeah, it's it's a

898
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 1: big moment for the NFL, for for damorrow. It's it's

899
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 1: it's now, it's we can take a deep breath and say, wow,

900
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: it all seems great. Everything that the medical community and

901
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 1: medical community could have put into this to diagnose, treat

902
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 1: game awareness from has happened to this point. I think

903
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 1: the league and Damar have a lot to be thankful

904
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: and proud of in this moment. So it's awesome. And

905
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 1: I don't know how this is gonna happen. I mean,

906
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: DeMar could play be playing for another team by season's in.

907
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 1: You know, the future is unset. So but at this

908
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: point we're only what do we We're not even six

909
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 1: months away from them when this happened, right, and it's.

910
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 2: Like January second, it's like four months.

911
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:33,919
Speaker 1: So it's like, wow, awesome to hear and Damar seems great,

912
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 1: he seems you know, one hundred percent. But to have

913
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 1: him go out there in the number three jersey. Somebody

914
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: asked about it today, you're gonna wear number three again?

915
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that's a that's a that's light years

916
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,439
Speaker 1: from where we were four months ago. It's light years

917
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: of where from where we were. So I think all

918
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 1: of us had to sit back and like get our

919
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 1: minds around where we're at with DeMar What do we

920
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: what do we want to see from him? How's it?

921
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,360
Speaker 1: How much did it feel to be him? There's a

922
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 1: lot in this. Yeah, that's why I kind of it

923
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 1: kind of hijacks our show today. This is we didn't

924
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 1: expect that today.

925
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 2: No, we did not, but it's certainly welcome news to

926
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 2: the highest degree. And you know, we're over the moon

927
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 2: that you know he can at least plan on making

928
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,879
Speaker 2: a comeback to the NFL. I don't. I mean, even

929
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 2: the way he phrased it, it wasn't a lock. I

930
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 2: plan on making a comeback to the NFL. That's his plan,

931
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 2: that's his goal, and we all hope he can see

932
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 2: it through. But you don't know what comes up on

933
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 2: the spectrum of you know, clearing these mental hurdles. We'll

934
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 2: talk more about it, but we have to take a

935
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 2: break here, Steve and I back with more on this

936
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 2: subject concerning Damarrow Hamlin, including his release of the official

937
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 2: diagnosis as to what happened next here on One Bill's Live.

938
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 3: Stay tuned.

939
00:49:57,680 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 2: All right, So we told you that Tomar, in addition

940
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:03,720
Speaker 2: into announcing that he is planning on making a comeback

941
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:07,319
Speaker 2: to the NFL after getting full medical clearance from three

942
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 2: separate specialists who unanimously agreed, we also got from DeMar

943
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 2: what it was that he actually suffered on the field

944
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 2: that Monday night, January twod in Cincinnati. He said, just

945
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 2: a few moments ago, it was determined that I suffered

946
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 2: commodio cordis, which is when a direct blow can cause

947
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,879
Speaker 2: a sudden arrhythmia and a few seconds later you fall out.

948
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 2: And that's what everyone saw with me. So it's been

949
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 2: a journey, but I'm very thankful. And he pretty much

950
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 2: admitted to you know, dying on the field in front

951
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 2: of his diary. Family parents were there for goodness sakes.

952
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:55,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no you can't overstate the gut punch that

953
00:50:56,160 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 1: was for those of us who you know, nobody, I

954
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: mean nobody knew who Damar was outside of the Bills organization.

955
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 1: You know, the NFL kind of circles. Nobody knew who

956
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 1: he was before that happened, and even the people, all

957
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: of millions and millions of people who didn't know who

958
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: he was. It was a gut punch to watch that night,

959
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 1: an absolute gut punch, and it took a long time

960
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 1: for all of us to recover. And then to see

961
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 1: Damar sitting there today saying, hey, you know, I've beaten

962
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 1: the odds all my life. I like my chances here.

963
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 1: It'll send shivers down your spine. I mean, it gives

964
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 1: you goosebumps. Good for him, and what a day, What

965
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 1: a day for Bill's fans and for Damar, and for

966
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 1: the league too. The way they handled it. They just

967
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 1: made that game disappear and didn't flinch.

968
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

969
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 1: Yeah.

970
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:53,839
Speaker 2: He also said that he is I mean, he's working

971
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 2: out with his teammates here the last two days. It's

972
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 2: largely just weightlifting and conditioning work, and he said he

973
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 2: admitted he's starting at zero from a physical standpoint, because

974
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 2: he's done quite literally nothing from a physical conditioning standpoint

975
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 2: as it pertains to football for the better part of

976
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 2: the last three months. So as he makes his way back,

977
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 2: combined with the mental challenges. He said that has been

978
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 2: a sizeable challenge. One of the doctors told him that

979
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 2: returning to football would be good for his mental health,

980
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 2: but he says, right now that is a roller coaster

981
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 2: for him every single day. And I think again, it

982
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:39,240
Speaker 2: speaks to how large the mental part of this challenge

983
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,320
Speaker 2: is going to be. The bottom line is he's a

984
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 2: twenty four year old, young, strapping athlete. The physical will

985
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 2: come back just by putting in the work. The mental

986
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 2: might be the bigger lift here.

987
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh absolutely, I don't think it's any question about that.

988
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: And you know, we me, you remember how it was

989
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:00,840
Speaker 1: when you were young. I mean he kind of you

990
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 1: roll out of bed. These guys can roll out of

991
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 1: bed and run a four five forty, you know, And

992
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 1: and just you're right, brownie. The more he'll just put

993
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 1: in the work and he'll see the results quickly, uh,

994
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 1: quicker than most people would. And the mental part of

995
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 1: it has got to be really difficult, like it has

996
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: been for the first hit teammates.

997
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,360
Speaker 2: Like, how is he not thinking in his head? Is

998
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 2: this gonna happen again when I hit somebody?

999
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 1: Right?

1000
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,320
Speaker 2: Is it gonna say he's a physical player let's not

1001
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 2: forget that either.

1002
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: Right, Well, he plays safety, he's got he's got to

1003
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 1: tackle all the time, maybe on every single play. So yeah,

1004
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 1: he's got some work to do, physical and mental to

1005
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 1: get back. But it seems though today from listening to

1006
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 1: him spot speak, at at least at the moment he's in,

1007
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 1: he's in a good spot.

1008
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:56,359
Speaker 2: We'll take another break here when we come back. We'll

1009
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 2: also bring you the comments of one Josh Allen today,

1010
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:03,320
Speaker 2: a player who said today he is more focused on

1011
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 2: football than ever before in his professional career. That and

1012
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,360

Speaker 2: the first hour, because it was worth it.

1029
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 1: It really was. One of the things about this that

1030
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:35,800
Speaker 1: in this day is so much is wrong about it,

1031
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:37,319
Speaker 1: you know on social media, but some of the other

1032
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 1: things that when you get a bunch of reporters in

1033
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:41,320
Speaker 1: a room listening to a guy like Damar with a

1034
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 1: story like he has, they kept catch snippets that get

1035
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,479
Speaker 1: by you. One of the things that was caught. Aj

1036
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 1: Sibolski said this, and he's right. He said, Damar wanted

1037
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 1: to prove to himself and others that it's okay to

1038
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:58,720
Speaker 1: be scared and it shouldn't stop you from achieving your dreams.

1039
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 1: That's some of the stuff that Demur said today. Man,

1040
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 1: it's powerful when you read it from a guy like

1041
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 1: that that you know he is afraid of what might

1042
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 1: happen to him. He is afraid, but it's not going

1043
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:12,840
Speaker 1: to stop him from overcoming those fears. That's powerful stuff

1044
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:16,719
Speaker 1: from guys who are actually in an arena where for

1045
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:22,279
Speaker 1: decades we've acknowledged how dangerous it can be. You know,

1046
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:24,879
Speaker 1: you hear sometimes about race drivers who get back into

1047
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:29,439
Speaker 1: a car after a crash, and you know, guys coming

1048
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 1: back from smaller injuries and stuff like that. This to

1049
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 1: have it illustrated in such a way that Damar is

1050
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:38,800
Speaker 1: going to have the opportunity to illustrate when he climbs

1051
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:40,839
Speaker 1: back in the saddle or when he puts the helmet

1052
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 1: on again and walks out on the field to take

1053
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: a live snap in an NFL game. It's big. It's

1054
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:54,960
Speaker 1: unbelievably big, particularly given the accumulation of emotional baggage that

1055
00:56:55,120 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 1: we have all placed on Damar for ourselves. It's pretty

1056
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 1: awesome to hear him speak like yeah.

1057
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:07,839
Speaker 2: Another player who spoke today was quarterback Josh Allen, who

1058
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:10,839
Speaker 2: had some interesting comments about where he wants to take

1059
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:15,880
Speaker 2: his own career with the Bills. Here is Buffalo's quarterback.

1060
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 8: To mar Hamlin was fully cleared and obviously this has

1061
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 8: been a very long journey one hundred and six days ago.

1062
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 8: But for you, as a leader on this team, what

1063
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 8: was it like to be working out next.

1064
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 3: To that guy again.

1065
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:28,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, well I haven't. I haven't gotten to see him

1066
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 8: since I saw the news. We kind of work at

1067
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 8: at different times. The defense goes a little earlier, we

1068
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 8: go later and switch off for meetings. So I haven't

1069
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 8: been able to give him a big old hug yet,

1070
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 8: but it's been it's been good to see him in

1071
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 8: the building, you know, right when this thing happened. That

1072
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 8: was his mindset from the very start was I'm I'm

1073
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 8: gonna play again. And you know, you're never gonna doubt

1074
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 8: a guy like that who's had a lot adversity in

1075
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 8: his life and he's continued to find ways and this

1076
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:56,160
Speaker 8: is just another obstacle that he's been able to get

1077
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 8: around and push forward. And I'm super excited for him,

1078
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 8: super excited for our team. You know, he's a he's

1079
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:03,919
Speaker 8: a heck of a football player and we love having

1080
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 8: him back.

1081
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 13: How did everything go to they all blow this offseason?

1082
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 3: I know you said there wasn't surgery required.

1083
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 7: Just some resk.

1084
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 1: How did all that rest go?

1085
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 13: Maybe you had to see anybody and how you're feeling now?

1086
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, I haven't seen anybody. It feels really good. Through

1087
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 8: a couple of times and again no issues, So you know,

1088
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 8: just getting back on track obviously within this first phase

1089
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 8: and a little bit into the second phase. Not a

1090
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 8: whole lot of throwing here in the building, but trying

1091
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 8: to find other outlets to be able to get guys

1092
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 8: moving around, getting the ball in the air. So stuff

1093
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:32,480
Speaker 8: we're still working around and that's that's the rules we

1094
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 8: have to work with and it is what it is.

1095
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 8: But we'll we'll find ways where we can still get

1096
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 8: some work done.

1097
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 3: Not at all. What's off season training been like?

1098
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you've talked so much over the last

1099
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 1: couple of years about your work with Jordan.

1100
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 3: Have you done anything different this off Seamon.

1101
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 8: Not, not a whole lot different. You know, there was

1102
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 8: a lot of rest, a lot of a lot of

1103
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:56,840
Speaker 8: mental recovery. You know, this last season was pretty draining

1104
00:58:56,880 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 8: throughout physically, emotionally, mentally again, just trying to trying to reboot.

1105
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 8: And you know, I think at this point in my life,

1106
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 8: I've never been as focused or locked in and you

1107
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 8: know in football than I am right now. So I'm

1108
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:11,320
Speaker 8: looking I'm very excited. I'm looking forward to, you know,

1109
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 8: getting here with the guys and building that team camaraderie

1110
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 8: and you know, having guys over and again just doing

1111
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 8: doing that piece of it, because I think that's such

1112
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 8: a huge piece of it when you're able to trust

1113
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 8: teammates inside and outside the facility. And again we're in

1114
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 8: We're in Buffalo, so there's not a whole lot to

1115
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 8: do here in terms of outside recreation and stuff like that.

1116
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 8: So having again guys over to my spot, you know,

1117
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 8: break you know, breaking bread together and having a good

1118
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 8: time and again just getting to know each other on

1119
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,080
Speaker 8: a deeper level, I think that pays dividends in the season.

1120
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 2: They have never been more.

1121
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 3: Focused than you are right now. Is there like a

1122
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 3: leading factor to that?

1123
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 11: Is it because of last season?

1124
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:48,080
Speaker 3: Is it just because of where you're in your career?

1125
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 9: Like what's driving that focus?

1126
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 8: I think I think it's a mixture of a lot

1127
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 8: of things. But again, going into my sixth year, understanding

1128
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 8: this offense fully and again just trying to dive in

1129
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 8: deeper with Dorsey and Joe Brady in our quarterback room,

1130
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 8: just trying to be the best leader, the best teammate,

1131
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 8: the best quarterback that needs that I need to be

1132
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 8: for this team to to win football games. And again,

1133
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 8: we need to get over that hump. And I understand that,

1134
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:15,600
Speaker 8: we understand that, you know, and again you gotta look

1135
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 8: with it from within sometimes and again just finding finding

1136
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 8: new ways I can get better, you know, taking care

1137
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 8: of myself on the field, whether it's taking hits, protecting

1138
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 8: the football, you know, not putting the ball in harm's way,

1139
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 8: and again just finding better ways to help this team

1140
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:32,040
Speaker 8: win football games. There's a lot of times last year,

1141
01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 8: you know, looking back at film, where one was just

1142
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 8: being careless with the football, careless with my body. You know,

1143
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 8: at the end of the day, availability is the best ability.

1144
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 8: So a lot of a lot of different things that

1145
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 8: I'm working on right now and learning from. And you

1146
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 8: know what I'm excited about is our quarterback room with

1147
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 8: Matt and having Kyle here and then Joe uh and

1148
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 8: then and Lubes in there too. Just going over concepts

1149
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 8: that we love and diving deeper into those things so

1150
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 8: my eyes are in the right spot and putting the

1151
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 8: ball where it needs to be, on time, on target,

1152
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 8: making sure you know, everybody's on the on the same

1153
01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 8: page in terms of route and distance and angle of routes,

1154
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,360
Speaker 8: because you know, there's some times where we can clean

1155
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 8: that up as a team, and I think it's gonna

1156
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:14,560
Speaker 8: better us. And you know, having those talks with Dorsy

1157
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:16,760
Speaker 8: about concepts that I love that we need to, you know,

1158
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 8: keep working on. You know, this is the time to

1159
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:19,760
Speaker 8: do it.

1160
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 5: Steph pigs raise some eyebrows on social media with some

1161
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 5: of the the I guess cryptic posts that he made.

1162
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 5: Is everything good with him?

1163
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:33,080
Speaker 8: And you yeah, yeah, absolutely, Steph's gonna Steph. You know,

1164
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 8: I love I love the guy he really is. He's

1165
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 8: one of my favorite people on this planet. He's so fiery,

1166
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:40,439
Speaker 8: he's so competitive, he wants the ball in his hands

1167
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 8: twenty four to seven. And you know, I'm never gonna

1168
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 8: not like a guy like that. You know, he he

1169
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 8: wants what's best for the team. You know, I know

1170
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 8: he's not here right now, and you know, I wish

1171
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:52,440
Speaker 8: he was here, but Otias are a little bit of

1172
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:54,640
Speaker 8: a different beast when it comes to all that stuff.

1173
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 8: But I'm just looking forward to getting back with him

1174
01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 8: and working on things and continuing to get better because again,

1175
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 8: he's the best receiver in the league and he helps

1176
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:05,840
Speaker 8: us out a lot on this team. So again, just

1177
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 8: looking forward to continuing our relationship and our and our

1178
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:13,360
Speaker 8: you know, on and off the field, and continue to

1179
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 8: make plays for us.

1180
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 3: And you talked about mentally draining.

1181
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 5: How mentally draining was last season most of tomorrow snokestorms,

1182
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 5: the tragedies and all that stuff. Did you find yourself

1183
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:27,720
Speaker 5: having to do anything different to decompress or perhaps put

1184
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 5: it aside, to.

1185
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 3: Just separate yourself from and from from all of that happened.

1186
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:36,440
Speaker 8: You know, it was a kind of learn as you go.

1187
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 8: There's a lot of moments where really unprecedented times where

1188
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:42,800
Speaker 8: not many teams have ever had to face the adversity

1189
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 8: that we faced last year. And I'm so proud of

1190
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 8: how we handled things, you know, still being thirteen and

1191
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 8: three in the regular season, you know, and you know,

1192
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:52,840
Speaker 8: we won our first playoff game, obviously didn't win the

1193
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:54,960
Speaker 8: second one, and we want to win our last game.

1194
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:56,960
Speaker 8: That's that's the maingals to win our last game, and

1195
01:02:57,640 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 8: obviously we didn't get that done. But to look at

1196
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:04,280
Speaker 8: the season how it went, you know, how I think

1197
01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 8: successful it really was. And I know people get caught

1198
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:09,680
Speaker 8: up in that last game, and it's easy to get

1199
01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:11,439
Speaker 8: caught up in that last game because we didn't perform

1200
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 8: at our best and it's obviously something that we want

1201
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 8: back and it's going to continue to drive us. But

1202
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 8: the way that we handled ourselves, the way that our

1203
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 8: team came together in some very dire times. Very proud

1204
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:24,480
Speaker 8: of the players that we have on the squad and

1205
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 8: again that we're bringing back. We brought in a lot

1206
01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:30,520
Speaker 8: of new guys and to have that leadership on this

1207
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 8: team to to kind of bring some of these newer

1208
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:34,920
Speaker 8: guys up and show them what the culture here is

1209
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:38,240
Speaker 8: all about and what we're trying to accomplish. I think

1210
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 8: it's a good thing that we got going. And you

1211
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 8: know that's that's hats off to you know, our front

1212
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 8: office and our head coaching staff and leaders that we

1213
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:50,200
Speaker 8: have on this team to keep pushing us in the

1214
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 8: right direction.

1215
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 5: Too.

1216
01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 13: More game to go in year three now, going to

1217
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 13: the final year of his contract. You've been here your

1218
01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 13: third year when you kind of ascended, really took that lead.

1219
01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 13: What has he meant to you and the offense for

1220
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 13: the first three years he's been here.

1221
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean he does all the dirty work that

1222
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:06,920
Speaker 8: you ask him to. He runs the clear outs, he

1223
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:10,040
Speaker 8: runs the posts that goes, he's running the deeper routes

1224
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:13,080
Speaker 8: and again I think sometimes when you look at stats

1225
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 8: are a little bit misleading when it comes to him.

1226
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 8: But again, the dude just he does all the right things.

1227
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 8: He does what you ask him to do, and he

1228
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:24,000
Speaker 8: goes above and beyond. He strains each day when we're

1229
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 8: working out here. He's a guy that you can trust

1230
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:29,960
Speaker 8: and depend on. You can't say bad you can't say

1231
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 8: a bad word about due. He's one of my favorite

1232
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:35,200
Speaker 8: people too. We hang out a lot and he just

1233
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 8: he works his towel off, so it's very easy to

1234
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 8: trust him. And again, I think putting in in better situations,

1235
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 8: uh to to have some catch and run opportunities and

1236
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:47,400
Speaker 8: maybe move him around a little bit more is gonna

1237
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:50,560
Speaker 8: help help us, help this offense, help him. And again

1238
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 8: the things that we're we're looking at right now in

1239
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:57,400
Speaker 8: our offense, and really, how are good our offense was

1240
01:04:57,480 --> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 8: last year? If you look statistically at our numbers and

1241
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 8: then you look at the turnovers that we had, you know,

1242
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 8: and that's that's big time on my part. Turn the

1243
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:08,560
Speaker 8: ball over too many times. And if you can say

1244
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:11,480
Speaker 8: we limit maybe half of those and then add those

1245
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 8: to the numbers that we already have, and the opportunities

1246
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:16,240
Speaker 8: that we're given our receivers and our running backs. I

1247
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:20,720
Speaker 8: think it's only gonna be positive outcomes. So again continuing

1248
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:22,480
Speaker 8: to work on that and again putting our guys in

1249
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:24,160
Speaker 8: good situations to be successful.

1250
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:26,840
Speaker 12: You've talked a lot about people have talked too about

1251
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:29,480
Speaker 12: the way you play. Maybe it's just I've never heard

1252
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:33,320
Speaker 12: you use the word careless about playing. Was there any

1253
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:37,680
Speaker 12: sort of epiphany about that this year during this offseason,

1254
01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 12: You've heard it from enough people about how you need

1255
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:42,840
Speaker 12: to play and protect yourself a little bits.

1256
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:45,320
Speaker 8: Anything really changed, I don't think so. I think again

1257
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:49,479
Speaker 8: getting into I know it sounds crazy, but I'm getting older.

1258
01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:51,520
Speaker 8: You know, it's like I can't. I can't continue to

1259
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:53,040
Speaker 8: do this. I know when I'm using my youth, I

1260
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:56,280
Speaker 8: feel like I can. But over the course of my career,

1261
01:05:56,320 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 8: I'm going to have to learn to adapt and change.

1262
01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:00,640
Speaker 8: And you know, I've always had the mindset of I've

1263
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:03,000
Speaker 8: been a football player first and a quarterback second, and

1264
01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:05,920
Speaker 8: at some point that's going to have to switch. When

1265
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:07,640
Speaker 8: that point is, I don't know. I guess I'll let

1266
01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:10,440
Speaker 8: my my body tell me. But I do want to be,

1267
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 8: like I said, I want to be the smartest quarterback

1268
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 8: with the football in my hands. I don't want to

1269
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 8: put the ball on harm's way because I know how

1270
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 8: detrimental that is for our team with with those interceptions

1271
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:22,280
Speaker 8: and the fumbles. So again, just finding ways to work

1272
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 8: on that, being more decisive with the football, and again

1273
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 8: just getting back to to maybe some of our more

1274
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 8: familiar concepts where guys know exactly what they're doing. I

1275
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:34,840
Speaker 8: know exactly what they're doing, and you know, try to

1276
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 8: be successful that way.

1277
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:38,440
Speaker 6: It's an interesting thing you said there about being a

1278
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 6: quarterback first, maybe in a football player second, or switching

1279
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:44,440
Speaker 6: those Is that a message that has been delivered from

1280
01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:45,880
Speaker 6: the team or is that internal?

1281
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 8: That's that's internal. And I'm I'm a realistic guy. I

1282
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 8: think very logistically and I know, uh father times undefeated,

1283
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 8: and you know football. Football is a game where it's

1284
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:59,080
Speaker 8: not if you get hurt, it's when you get hurt.

1285
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 8: You know, it's it's it's gonna happen to anybody at

1286
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 8: any point and throughout the season, if there's a guy

1287
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:07,120
Speaker 8: one hundred percent playing one hundred percent, I don't believe them.

1288
01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 8: You know, we go through our bumps and bruises and

1289
01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 8: it takes a while to heal up as you get

1290
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:14,880
Speaker 8: older and again finding a routine that now works for me,

1291
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:17,400
Speaker 8: whether it's spend more time in the training room and

1292
01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 8: hot tub, cold tub and just being smarter with that

1293
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:24,640
Speaker 8: aspect and developing that routine to allow my body to

1294
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 8: heal faster and being smarter as time goes on.

1295
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:30,600
Speaker 6: It's kind of a topic really since you came into

1296
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 6: the league, because you know, your ability to run in

1297
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 6: the plays that you can make has has been so

1298
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:37,680
Speaker 6: good for this offense. But the messaging from the team

1299
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:41,000
Speaker 6: about avoiding those unnecessary hits and sliding and stepping out

1300
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:45,120
Speaker 6: of bounds. Where are you at in terms of you know,

1301
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:49,160
Speaker 6: you feel like, I guess your development in those areas

1302
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:51,880
Speaker 6: And how much is that being driven home by Sean

1303
01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:53,440
Speaker 6: and Brandon in the front office?

1304
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 7: Now?

1305
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 8: I mean, I really wouldn't say it's being driven by them.

1306
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:58,360
Speaker 8: I know that they've had a few questions in the

1307
01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:02,400
Speaker 8: media too and have been pointed out. But at the

1308
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 8: end of the day, it's it's just being smart with

1309
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 8: the football, smart with the body and understanding situational football

1310
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 8: really better. You know, if there's a third down where

1311
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 8: we gotta get it, I'm gonna I'm gonna do whatever

1312
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 8: it takes to get it. But if it's a you know,

1313
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:17,600
Speaker 8: second and ten, I got nine yards to go, No

1314
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:19,600
Speaker 8: need to put the shoulder down and try to We

1315
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:21,160
Speaker 8: can get it on third and one with with our

1316
01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:24,800
Speaker 8: players and trusting the guys around me, and you know,

1317
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:26,559
Speaker 8: and if not, so be it. We'll put von Miller

1318
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:28,000
Speaker 8: back on the field and let him go to work too.

1319
01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 11: So, Josh, has been an interesting realization to start to

1320
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:34,439
Speaker 11: look at yourself as a player who is getting older.

1321
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 11: I mean, you're sitting next to one who's played in

1322
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:38,160
Speaker 11: the NFL for ten plus years.

1323
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:38,400
Speaker 15: Now.

1324
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:40,960
Speaker 11: Is that something that you've started to do this off

1325
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:42,720
Speaker 11: season with how you take care of your body and

1326
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:43,679
Speaker 11: go through an off season?

1327
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 8: I mean a little bit, I think again, it just

1328
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:48,519
Speaker 8: it happens quick. This is I'm going in my sixth year.

1329
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 8: It doesn't feel like it's been that long. And again,

1330
01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:54,559
Speaker 8: I feel like I'm learning something new each and every year,

1331
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 8: and again just leaning on some of the older vets

1332
01:08:57,240 --> 01:09:00,280
Speaker 8: that I've been around and learning how kind of do

1333
01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:03,240
Speaker 8: it and how to because you know, there's a lot

1334
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:05,360
Speaker 8: of ways to skin a cap, but there's there's really

1335
01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 8: one way to be successful. It's doing it the right way,

1336
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:10,680
Speaker 8: and again just trying to find what the right way

1337
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:11,080
Speaker 8: is for me.

1338
01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 2: All Right, that's Josh Allen addressing the media today. And

1339
01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:20,240
Speaker 2: you know, I think maybe some of the more eye

1340
01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 2: opening comments from him came from his own approach to

1341
01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:28,599
Speaker 2: season number six and how you know, we've heard him

1342
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:32,200
Speaker 2: say I'm going to try to protect myself more and

1343
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:34,880
Speaker 2: I would say last year there were some times where

1344
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:37,479
Speaker 2: he ran out of bounds more often, got the ball

1345
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,920
Speaker 2: off before he got decked out of bounds or something

1346
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:42,160
Speaker 2: like that. Not every time, but more often than he

1347
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:45,040
Speaker 2: had in the past. And now, by the sounds of it,

1348
01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 2: it's like he's going to he viewed himself clearly as

1349
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:52,880
Speaker 2: a football player first and then a quarterback second. And

1350
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:54,880
Speaker 2: now I think he's getting to a point in his career.

1351
01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:57,439
Speaker 2: I mean, he only turns twenty seven next month. He's

1352
01:09:57,479 --> 01:10:01,760
Speaker 2: got plenty of time left on his rear calendar. So

1353
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:05,759
Speaker 2: the fact that he's talking about making himself a quarterback

1354
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:08,840
Speaker 2: first in a football player second, I think is very

1355
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:12,120
Speaker 2: revealing as to where his head is at in approaching

1356
01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:13,000
Speaker 2: the game each week.

1357
01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:15,000
Speaker 1: When when you talk about that, you're right his head,

1358
01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:17,360
Speaker 1: let's face it him. I mean, it's all it all

1359
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:20,720
Speaker 1: starts between these guys ears, you know, their commitment, their decisions,

1360
01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:25,360
Speaker 1: the way they approach their game, their commitment, all of it,

1361
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:29,000
Speaker 1: their preparation. So it remains to be seen how that

1362
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:31,160
Speaker 1: will affect his decision making, because that's what he's talking

1363
01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:33,240
Speaker 1: That's what you're talking about, right which what decisions he

1364
01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:35,360
Speaker 1: makes on the field at any given moment. Is he

1365
01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:38,559
Speaker 1: gonna toss the ball away more? You know, we saw

1366
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:40,560
Speaker 1: him start to do that even as early as the

1367
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 1: second half of his rookie season, and then more and more,

1368
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:46,439
Speaker 1: particularly his second year, he started getting you know what,

1369
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:47,760
Speaker 1: I got to throw this away and live to fight

1370
01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:49,680
Speaker 1: another down. And now you see him do it when

1371
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:54,200
Speaker 1: he needs to. It's, you know, same thing goes for

1372
01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:56,040
Speaker 1: when he pulls it down, he's gonna run with it.

1373
01:10:56,720 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 1: He gonna slide, he's gonna go and you know, we

1374
01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:01,479
Speaker 1: see him he finishes so many runs in the air,

1375
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:04,280
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, when he's jumping over that

1376
01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 1: last guy and then taking a couple of steps and

1377
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:09,280
Speaker 1: going down the Chiefs game where he you know, he

1378
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:11,760
Speaker 1: comes out around the end hurdles that guy, which has

1379
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:19,559
Speaker 1: become you know, a meme for Josh, how this these

1380
01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:22,720
Speaker 1: words in April of twenty twenty three are going to

1381
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:25,479
Speaker 1: affect the season in twenty twenty three, six months away

1382
01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 1: from now. We may never know what is how it's

1383
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:31,960
Speaker 1: going to look different, But if it, you know, if

1384
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 1: it saves him that one hit saves him a couple

1385
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:37,200
Speaker 1: of hits, saves him some wear and tear, adds some

1386
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:43,000
Speaker 1: quality time at the end of his career where we're

1387
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:46,640
Speaker 1: going to see him play better for longer in a

1388
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:49,800
Speaker 1: Bill's uniform. Man, you gotta think, Okay, we may never

1389
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:53,000
Speaker 1: be able to see tangibly what it means, but it's

1390
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 1: enough to know that he's thinking about it, that the

1391
01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:57,400
Speaker 1: club's thinking about it, and if it makes him make

1392
01:11:57,439 --> 01:12:01,840
Speaker 1: a decision that has a great outcome. I don't know

1393
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:03,519
Speaker 1: how you're going to quantify that, because he makes so

1394
01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:08,920
Speaker 1: many decisions that have great outcomes already. But if the

1395
01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 1: guy comes out, plays for fourteen years and you know,

1396
01:12:12,200 --> 01:12:15,160
Speaker 1: the Bills do get a world championship or or ten

1397
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:18,720
Speaker 1: out of it, you gotta think he's doing some things right.

1398
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:20,880
Speaker 1: He's always done a lot of stuff right. We'll see

1399
01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:24,040
Speaker 1: if he can distill that into more right less wrong.

1400
01:12:24,400 --> 01:12:26,960
Speaker 2: This is the time of the year when as far

1401
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:30,640
Speaker 2: as field work, it's basically conditioning and then work in

1402
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:33,000
Speaker 2: the weight room. But there is classroom work that goes

1403
01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:37,400
Speaker 2: on now that is permitted. And I found it interesting

1404
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:40,600
Speaker 2: that was the most detailed I've ever heard him discuss

1405
01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:47,800
Speaker 2: the conversations and the debates and the problem solving that's

1406
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:50,240
Speaker 2: done in the quarterback room, to the point where he's

1407
01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:54,799
Speaker 2: talking about angles of routes, not just run the twelve

1408
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:58,760
Speaker 2: yard hook and I'll hit you when you turn, or

1409
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:00,760
Speaker 2: i'd show me your body line which like this, so

1410
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:03,679
Speaker 2: I know I'm putting it on the right shoulder based

1411
01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:07,040
Speaker 2: on how you're gonna turn. They're talking about the angle

1412
01:13:07,200 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 2: of the route as well, in an effort to create

1413
01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:13,000
Speaker 2: more space between the receiver and the defender. And I

1414
01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:16,479
Speaker 2: think that communication in the quarterback room will obviously be

1415
01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:19,400
Speaker 2: disseminated to the receiver room as well in the tight

1416
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:23,680
Speaker 2: end room in the back room presently, but getting some

1417
01:13:25,160 --> 01:13:29,200
Speaker 2: detail oriented comments from Josh Allen about some of the

1418
01:13:29,320 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 2: things that are discussed in there this early in the

1419
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:35,960
Speaker 2: it's day two, this early in the game, it's almost like, man,

1420
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:38,000
Speaker 2: he's really tightened down the screws on everything here.

1421
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:40,760
Speaker 1: Everything gets better when you have a long history with

1422
01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:43,400
Speaker 1: players in the room, with Josh and Gabe Davis and

1423
01:13:43,479 --> 01:13:45,840
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs. Now they're going to the three fourth year,

1424
01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:50,960
Speaker 1: fourth year together, you get to a point where you

1425
01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:55,160
Speaker 1: can have conversations that you can't get to because you

1426
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:56,920
Speaker 1: still don't even know if the guy knows exactly the

1427
01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:59,719
Speaker 1: right route he's supposed to be running, let alone change

1428
01:13:59,720 --> 01:13:59,920
Speaker 1: the end.

1429
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:00,840
Speaker 3: Go do this, do this.

1430
01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:04,200
Speaker 1: You've had It just takes a long time to get there.

1431
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:06,400
Speaker 1: So when you talk about players coming in in this

1432
01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:08,479
Speaker 1: free agent market, in the current state of the league

1433
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:10,720
Speaker 1: where you got new players every year who play, who

1434
01:14:10,800 --> 01:14:17,680
Speaker 1: may play significant roles, their ability to communicate nuances and

1435
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:24,320
Speaker 1: the reasons behind those nuances is really crucial to the

1436
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:27,960
Speaker 1: success of the offense. It becomes part of the job description.

1437
01:14:28,120 --> 01:14:34,120
Speaker 1: You have to be a guy who can have conversations

1438
01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:37,519
Speaker 1: about the offense you're running early in the process of

1439
01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:40,840
Speaker 1: your acclimation to the team. So the quarterback and say, listen,

1440
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:42,720
Speaker 1: you got to when you come out on this, you

1441
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:45,040
Speaker 1: got to move. You got to get to the outside

1442
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:47,439
Speaker 1: shoulder of that guy so that I can see with

1443
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:49,320
Speaker 1: your body language how you're going to come out of

1444
01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:52,000
Speaker 1: this you know that kind of stuff instead of saying, hey,

1445
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:54,120
Speaker 1: you got to run an out route here, Well, then

1446
01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:55,320
Speaker 1: you got to say, no, you got to get to

1447
01:14:55,400 --> 01:14:57,439
Speaker 1: that outside shoulder of that guy, give them a little

1448
01:14:57,479 --> 01:14:59,040
Speaker 1: bit at the top of the route, and then break

1449
01:14:59,800 --> 01:15:01,800
Speaker 1: and make sure you get your eyes around so I

1450
01:15:01,920 --> 01:15:03,519
Speaker 1: know where you want. You know, that kind of stuff.

1451
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:09,519
Speaker 1: It's those kind of conversations happen, and sometimes for some

1452
01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 1: guys it takes a year or two to get into

1453
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:15,320
Speaker 1: the offense where you feel comfortable thinking, oh, yeah, okay,

1454
01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:17,040
Speaker 1: I know exactly what I'm doing here. Yeah, okay, I

1455
01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:19,320
Speaker 1: can do that kind of thing, because when you get

1456
01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:20,960
Speaker 1: out there and you line up, it's like, am I

1457
01:15:21,040 --> 01:15:21,640
Speaker 1: doing the right thing?

1458
01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:27,400
Speaker 2: We heard that today when Sean McDermott mentioned Nahem Hines.

1459
01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:30,679
Speaker 2: He was still trying to master some of the nuances

1460
01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:34,000
Speaker 2: of the offense. And he got here at Halloween last year, right,

1461
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:37,639
Speaker 2: But he's still working on that now in the off season,

1462
01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:41,240
Speaker 2: which I think speaks to probably why his usage within

1463
01:15:41,320 --> 01:15:43,840
Speaker 2: the scope of the offense wasn't as extensive as maybe

1464
01:15:43,920 --> 01:15:45,120
Speaker 2: fans had anticipated.

1465
01:15:45,200 --> 01:15:47,280
Speaker 1: Walking in the door and mag you an idea, what

1466
01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:49,120
Speaker 1: happens is you come in into October you come in

1467
01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:51,160
Speaker 1: a training camp of these guys. You got into OTAs

1468
01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:53,559
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey's out there and saying, Okay, here you go, guys.

1469
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:57,439
Speaker 1: Here is a foundational building block of our offense. And

1470
01:15:57,520 --> 01:15:59,120
Speaker 1: then here's a couple of pieces that we're going to

1471
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:01,200
Speaker 1: stack on top of it. And then here's a couple

1472
01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:03,120
Speaker 1: of pieces for each of those pieces that we're.

1473
01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 3: Stacking on top of it.

1474
01:16:04,120 --> 01:16:08,639
Speaker 1: Then you get to October, nahem Heinz is learning fifty

1475
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:10,800
Speaker 1: thousand bricks at the top of the wall rather than

1476
01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:13,600
Speaker 1: the two or three foundations at the bottom. Right, So

1477
01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:16,160
Speaker 1: you come in, you got fifty thousand things to learn,

1478
01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:18,960
Speaker 1: and you're all over the place, rather than starting with

1479
01:16:19,040 --> 01:16:21,519
Speaker 1: the foundations that you can build off and go. So

1480
01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:24,240
Speaker 1: when you come in in October, you're trying to learn

1481
01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:31,040
Speaker 1: the nuances of fifty thousand small pieces of the wall

1482
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:33,280
Speaker 1: of the picture that are out now instead of the

1483
01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:36,920
Speaker 1: foundational colors that you started with back in April, May

1484
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:39,680
Speaker 1: and June. So now when you can go back and

1485
01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:42,479
Speaker 1: start building on the basics of the thing and start

1486
01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:45,560
Speaker 1: from there, it gives you a better chance to do

1487
01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:48,680
Speaker 1: it right at the top when it's a bunch of

1488
01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:51,679
Speaker 1: small pieces rather than just one or two foundational pieces.

1489
01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:53,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if that makes it clear or makes

1490
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:55,760
Speaker 1: it cloud again, I don't know.

1491
01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:58,800
Speaker 2: We do have to take a break though. When we

1492
01:16:58,920 --> 01:17:01,879
Speaker 2: come back, we'll have some comments from players who addressed

1493
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:04,200
Speaker 2: the media today. We'll tell you who that is when

1494
01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:06,760
Speaker 2: we return here on One Bill's Live, presented by Cold

1495
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:37,559
Speaker 2: of Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio, all right, players back

1496
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:40,639
Speaker 2: working out, doing their thing, getting in the classroom as

1497
01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:45,439
Speaker 2: well as they tune up for OTA's next month. And

1498
01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:48,200
Speaker 2: one of the other players who addressed the media today

1499
01:17:48,360 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 2: is a guy on his way back from a torn

1500
01:17:51,200 --> 01:17:56,639
Speaker 2: acl suffered last November. That would be Von Miller, who

1501
01:17:56,760 --> 01:18:00,720
Speaker 2: gave an update on his health situation, as well as

1502
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:03,800
Speaker 2: some people you know that he knows in the league

1503
01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:06,719
Speaker 2: that might be looking to move out of their current

1504
01:18:07,400 --> 01:18:11,519
Speaker 2: NFL situation in a place I don't know, Arizona. Say

1505
01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:13,519
Speaker 2: so here is Von Miller.

1506
01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:17,880
Speaker 3: Feels good to be back in Buffalo weather.

1507
01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:21,400
Speaker 16: It's still crazy, but you know, like I said fifty

1508
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:25,200
Speaker 16: million times, in this facility, it's always sunny. The type

1509
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:27,160
Speaker 16: people that we have, the type of environment that we

1510
01:18:27,479 --> 01:18:29,479
Speaker 16: set up here with the Buffalo Bills, it doesn't matter

1511
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:33,519
Speaker 16: if it's ninety degrees outside or five degrees outside.

1512
01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:34,040
Speaker 5: We have a.

1513
01:18:36,160 --> 01:18:40,680
Speaker 16: Very enjoyable environment to work in, an enjoyable place to

1514
01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:42,800
Speaker 16: come to work, and we got great people here, so

1515
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:44,679
Speaker 16: it's a great mixture for a great organization.

1516
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:48,000
Speaker 6: We're just talking a lot about his mindset, how we

1517
01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:51,599
Speaker 6: focused and after draining season, where's your mindset at going

1518
01:18:51,640 --> 01:18:53,800
Speaker 6: through what you've done this offseason and where you're at.

1519
01:18:54,240 --> 01:18:56,640
Speaker 16: This is my life, you know, this is my This

1520
01:18:56,720 --> 01:18:59,639
Speaker 16: is Josh what six years I'm going on year thirteen.

1521
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:03,720
Speaker 16: You know, I'm thirty four years old. I've spent uh

1522
01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:08,600
Speaker 16: third of my life playing football. I've just become comfortable

1523
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 16: with the type of year that football is. It just

1524
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:13,200
Speaker 16: feel like we was just in Arizona for the Super Bowl,

1525
01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:16,120
Speaker 16: you know, and we're right back here at OTAs And

1526
01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:18,160
Speaker 16: I just try to always be in the present, in

1527
01:19:18,200 --> 01:19:21,120
Speaker 16: the in the in the now, whether that's OTA's training

1528
01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:24,080
Speaker 16: camp season. I think when you get up there and

1529
01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:27,360
Speaker 16: uh in age, you just start to find the beauty

1530
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:29,800
Speaker 16: and the little things. So being able to come up here,

1531
01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:31,720
Speaker 16: being a way to get away from the kids and

1532
01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:34,519
Speaker 16: come up here and you know, be with my guys

1533
01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:36,839
Speaker 16: and you know, be back in this type of environment.

1534
01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:39,960
Speaker 16: It's it's super cool for me with the kids, it's

1535
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:40,400
Speaker 16: been great.

1536
01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:41,000
Speaker 3: It's been great.

1537
01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:45,080
Speaker 16: You know, they're two totally different beings, but they my

1538
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:48,240
Speaker 16: boys and and I love him to death. Valles starting

1539
01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:51,160
Speaker 16: to run now, so it gets kind of scary sometimes

1540
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:53,800
Speaker 16: when he just but he just takes off, and uh,

1541
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:56,040
Speaker 16: you know, vick Is he's starting to open his eyes

1542
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:57,000
Speaker 16: and walk around.

1543
01:19:57,080 --> 01:19:58,680
Speaker 3: I mean not walk around, but open his eyes and

1544
01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:01,040
Speaker 3: track you and stuff too. So it's super cool. It's

1545
01:20:01,040 --> 01:20:03,000
Speaker 3: super cool to see their interaction with each other too.

1546
01:20:03,400 --> 01:20:05,920
Speaker 16: It's like they already know that they're brothers, and you know,

1547
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:07,800
Speaker 16: it's it's super cool for me as a dad.

1548
01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:14,120
Speaker 5: I mean, I got an email last week that you're

Speaker 16: I try to I try to put all my focus

1554
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:31,880
Speaker 16: on being the best father and football player I could be.

1555
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:34,680
Speaker 16: But my assistant, she is great, Marty cobert Is is

01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:37,400
Speaker 16: super great, and she just tells me what I have.

1557
01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:40,680
Speaker 16: So that's that's next week. So I haven't gotten my

1558
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:42,680
Speaker 16: next week schedule. Yet I just take a week. I'll

1559
01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:43,120
Speaker 16: just take a week.

1560
01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:47,760
Speaker 5: About week, you're gonna be testing out there pretty well

1561
01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:48,160
Speaker 5: if you're good.

1562
01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:50,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, but my knee is good. I feel like for me,

1563
01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:52,599
Speaker 3: I feel like for me being able to golf.

1564
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:56,880
Speaker 16: But I started golfing probably midway through March, so being

1565
01:20:56,880 --> 01:20:59,360
Speaker 16: able to go for about being able to go for

1566
01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:01,880
Speaker 16: about a month. Now it feels like it's downhill for me,

1567
01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:05,880
Speaker 16: you know, being able to you know, walk around normally,

1568
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:08,680
Speaker 16: go up and downstairs, walking around the golf course, and.

1569
01:21:08,720 --> 01:21:09,720
Speaker 3: I really just think about it.

1570
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:13,040
Speaker 16: I was walking and doing stuff before, but still, you know,

1571
01:21:13,160 --> 01:21:15,639
Speaker 16: subconsciously thinking like, okay, I gotta make sure my gate

1572
01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:17,320
Speaker 16: is right and gotta.

1573
01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:18,200
Speaker 3: Make sure I'm not favoring it.

1574
01:21:18,320 --> 01:21:20,320
Speaker 16: Now you just you just get up and walk now,

1575
01:21:20,560 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 16: just get on a golf course wing and just walk around.

1576
01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:25,160
Speaker 16: So I feel like everything now is just downhill from here.

1577
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:28,679
Speaker 16: The guys that I've been working out with in Dallas

1578
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:32,080
Speaker 16: with doctor Cooper's office and coming here with the Buffalo Bills.

1579
01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:35,120
Speaker 16: I I got the best of both worlds, and I

1580
01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:37,080
Speaker 16: really don't have much to do. This is I'm thirty

1581
01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:39,280
Speaker 16: four years old. I play golf, I kick it with

1582
01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:41,840
Speaker 16: my kids, and I go to rehab. So if I'm

1583
01:21:42,200 --> 01:21:44,240
Speaker 16: working out in the morning, I rehab at night every

1584
01:21:44,280 --> 01:21:47,280
Speaker 16: single day, so I I really maximize my day with

1585
01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:49,559
Speaker 16: trying to get back as fast as possible.

1586
01:21:49,800 --> 01:21:52,639
Speaker 15: I think, really, is there anything you can take from

1587
01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:54,800
Speaker 15: the first time you went through a serious knee injury

1588
01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:56,479
Speaker 15: like this, where like you went through the rehab, you've

1589
01:21:56,520 --> 01:21:57,840
Speaker 15: done it before, you know what it's like. Is there

1590
01:21:57,880 --> 01:22:00,479
Speaker 15: anything like lessons learned or things you were mber from

1591
01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:01,040
Speaker 15: that first time?

1592
01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:04,280
Speaker 16: I guess, you know, before it was a lot of uncertainty,

1593
01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 16: Like you know, I would look down on my leg

1594
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:07,960
Speaker 16: and like, how am I gonna be a football player again?

1595
01:22:08,080 --> 01:22:10,680
Speaker 3: And now you just no, just know, like this is

1596
01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:11,639
Speaker 3: part of the process.

1597
01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:14,120
Speaker 16: So I guess the second time around is you know,

1598
01:22:14,200 --> 01:22:15,680
Speaker 16: I guess I guess the second time around, I just

1599
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:16,080
Speaker 16: I don't.

1600
01:22:16,600 --> 01:22:19,880
Speaker 3: I'm not stressing over it as much. You know.

1601
01:22:19,920 --> 01:22:21,400
Speaker 16: I just go out there and I just try to

1602
01:22:22,840 --> 01:22:24,960
Speaker 16: lift as much as I can, rehab as much as

1603
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:27,800
Speaker 16: I can, and I know when you put the work in,

1604
01:22:27,880 --> 01:22:30,880
Speaker 16: you'll get the results. And sitting here at month four,

1605
01:22:31,439 --> 01:22:33,719
Speaker 16: you know, I feel great. I haven't you know, started

1606
01:22:33,760 --> 01:22:36,920
Speaker 16: doing football stuff and and rip moves and all that stuff.

1607
01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:40,559
Speaker 16: But I feel great and I feel positive that I'll

1608
01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:42,679
Speaker 16: be ready to go early in the season for sure.

1609
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:44,880
Speaker 1: On that note, how does it work with.

1610
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:47,880
Speaker 13: The communication between you and medical and coaches. You're gonna

1611
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:49,600
Speaker 13: want to play when I mean, you're competitive, that's what

1612
01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:51,200
Speaker 13: you want to do. But you've also gone through this, yea.

1613
01:22:51,840 --> 01:22:53,559
Speaker 13: Do you have to be protected from yourself a little

1614
01:22:53,560 --> 01:22:56,160
Speaker 13: bit here to kind of rely on the medical two

1615
01:22:56,200 --> 01:22:56,479
Speaker 13: as well?

1616
01:22:57,000 --> 01:22:58,320
Speaker 3: Man, I trust these guys.

1617
01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:00,400
Speaker 16: I trust these guys here with everything, man, And I

1618
01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:01,920
Speaker 16: think when I got here, you know, I was on

1619
01:23:02,680 --> 01:23:04,519
Speaker 16: they you know, they talked to me about a pitch

1620
01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:05,840
Speaker 16: count last year in the season.

1621
01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:06,599
Speaker 3: It worked out great.

1622
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:08,840
Speaker 16: You know, I had eight and a half sacks through

1623
01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:11,719
Speaker 16: nine games, and you know, everything worked out great before

1624
01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:15,439
Speaker 16: I got injured. So you know, I just especially now

1625
01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:18,640
Speaker 16: being knowing Brandon Bean for another year, and you know,

1626
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:21,960
Speaker 16: knowing you know, coach McDermott and coach Washington for another year,

1627
01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:25,760
Speaker 16: and especially you know Nate Bresky and the medical team. Man,

1628
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:28,040
Speaker 16: whatever they need me to do, man, I'm gonna do it.

1629
01:23:28,120 --> 01:23:29,920
Speaker 16: And I'm gonna be ready to go when I'm ready

1630
01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:32,280
Speaker 16: to go. And you know, my job is to come

1631
01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:34,439
Speaker 16: in here and really build their trust up and let

1632
01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:36,800
Speaker 16: them and let them see me move and let them

1633
01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:39,840
Speaker 16: see me work to you know, really be confident, and

1634
01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:40,920
Speaker 16: let me go out there and play.

1635
01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:44,599
Speaker 3: Your impressions of defensive coordinator Sean yesterday, I was great.

1636
01:23:44,640 --> 01:23:46,000
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I was in it.

1637
01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:48,720
Speaker 16: I was a Denver Broncos with coach Fangio, so you know,

1638
01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:51,439
Speaker 16: Coach Fangio was the head coach and the defensive coordinator.

1639
01:23:51,520 --> 01:23:54,640
Speaker 16: So it's not foreign to me. It's not you know,

1640
01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:56,479
Speaker 16: it's not anything new to me. I know exactly how

1641
01:23:56,560 --> 01:23:59,720
Speaker 16: to look and how to be. So I'm excited, you know.

1642
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:04,000
Speaker 16: You know, it's not like coach McDermott was away from

1643
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:05,880
Speaker 16: the defense last year either. He would come in and

1644
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:08,519
Speaker 16: he would you know, give his tips and you know

1645
01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:10,080
Speaker 16: kind of coach us up at at.

1646
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:11,639
Speaker 3: Certain points of the week.

1647
01:24:11,800 --> 01:24:13,840
Speaker 16: You know, he did that last year too, So now

1648
01:24:13,880 --> 01:24:16,760
Speaker 16: it's just him there full time whenever we have our

1649
01:24:16,840 --> 01:24:19,880
Speaker 16: defensive meetings. So for the confidence and coach McDermott, he

1650
01:24:20,240 --> 01:24:23,120
Speaker 16: you know, he uh, you know, he earned his reputation

1651
01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:26,760
Speaker 16: off having great defenses and building a great, great defensive team.

1652
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:29,360
Speaker 16: So I'm super excited to have him in there full time.

1653
01:24:30,600 --> 01:24:31,639
Speaker 11: What is GM behind?

1654
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:33,800
Speaker 14: Think of the twenty seventh pick, and have you been

1655
01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:35,439
Speaker 14: studying this draft class?

1656
01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:41,720
Speaker 3: You know more than most players. With my uh, you know,

1657
01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:45,679
Speaker 3: my take would be draft the best player available.

1658
01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:47,920
Speaker 16: You know, it's not like you know, we you know,

1659
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:49,280
Speaker 16: of course we're gonna get picked off some of the

1660
01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:52,160
Speaker 16: guys that we really want. But you know, in my opinion,

1661
01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:54,679
Speaker 16: would be just draft the best player available. It doesn't

1662
01:24:54,680 --> 01:25:01,240
Speaker 16: matter if it's a guard, receiver, defensive end, quarterback, or whoever. Like,

1663
01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:04,320
Speaker 16: I'm a big fan of just drafting the best player available.

1664
01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:07,240
Speaker 16: And over time, you build a team, especially you know,

1665
01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:09,479
Speaker 16: an organization that we have here. We got great coaches,

1666
01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:12,920
Speaker 16: so you get you put great players here, and over

1667
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:14,519
Speaker 16: time we have a great team. We already got a

1668
01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:16,160
Speaker 16: great team, but this we're in sure we can keep

1669
01:25:16,160 --> 01:25:16,839
Speaker 16: a great team.

1670
01:25:17,960 --> 01:25:21,559
Speaker 2: All right. So that's von Miller, who you know, he's

1671
01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:25,920
Speaker 2: only in month four of his rehabilitation after surgery a

1672
01:25:26,080 --> 01:25:28,240
Speaker 2: c L. He's had an a CL before in his career,

1673
01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:30,000
Speaker 2: and he's already saying it's all.

1674
01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:32,880
Speaker 1: Down, all the hard stuff's over.

1675
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:33,840
Speaker 14: I was like, what.

1676
01:25:35,560 --> 01:25:38,320
Speaker 1: His I don't know, I think, and I remember it

1677
01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:42,599
Speaker 1: wasn't a full, fully torn a c L partially partially

1678
01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:48,720
Speaker 1: so that that does make a difference, but nevertheless, I mean,

1679
01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:53,280
Speaker 1: it's you start to you can tell he's a long

1680
01:25:53,360 --> 01:25:56,600
Speaker 1: time veteran in the league. You get to a nonchalance

1681
01:25:57,000 --> 01:25:59,240
Speaker 1: about some really hard things in your life when you

1682
01:25:59,320 --> 01:26:02,120
Speaker 1: get to that age, we've been through this surgery and

1683
01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:04,600
Speaker 1: that injury and that thing, and you've overcome this and

1684
01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:07,240
Speaker 1: you've gone there and you just kind of yeah, yeah,

1685
01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:08,920
Speaker 1: I got, I know what's going on now, you know

1686
01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:11,800
Speaker 1: what I mean, You just get you get the vocabulary

1687
01:26:11,880 --> 01:26:13,800
Speaker 1: of a guy who's been around the block more than that.

1688
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:17,519
Speaker 1: So it's he does have the ability, doesn't he to

1689
01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:19,200
Speaker 1: make you feel comfortable with what's going on.

1690
01:26:19,439 --> 01:26:21,479
Speaker 2: I almost feel like he's just gonna will himself back

Speaker 2: He's just I don't know, Yeah, sometimes you wonder if

1696
01:26:31,240 --> 01:26:34,920
Speaker 2: his physical abilities are otherworldly, even after a major injury

1697
01:26:35,080 --> 01:26:38,080

01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:02,120
Speaker 2: a lot went on today and even more became official

1704
01:27:02,160 --> 01:27:06,320
Speaker 2: about a minute ago. Shaq Lawson officially re signs with

1705
01:27:06,439 --> 01:27:09,679
Speaker 2: the Bills. We had heard reports of that late last week.

1706
01:27:10,240 --> 01:27:13,040
Speaker 2: It is now official. Shack has put pen into paper,

1707
01:27:13,160 --> 01:27:15,920
Speaker 2: so it is officially a done deal, a one year

1708
01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:20,040
Speaker 2: contract for Shack to play another year in Buffalo. The

1709
01:27:20,200 --> 01:27:24,040
Speaker 2: trade terms have also been agreed upon between the Pittsburgh

1710
01:27:24,080 --> 01:27:27,360
Speaker 2: Steelers and the Los Angeles Rams. For the acquisition, Steve

1711
01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:31,000
Speaker 2: have won Alan Robinson, the veteran wide receiver, returns to

1712
01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:33,599
Speaker 2: the state where he played his college ball, Penn State.

1713
01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:36,840
Speaker 2: He'll be playing for the Steelers next year provided this

1714
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:40,360
Speaker 2: all goes through. Here are the terms. The Steelers get

1715
01:27:40,439 --> 01:27:44,280
Speaker 2: Alan Robinson and a seventh round pick number two fifty

1716
01:27:44,320 --> 01:27:48,360
Speaker 2: one in the draft. The Rams get in return a

1717
01:27:48,520 --> 01:27:53,080
Speaker 2: seventh round pick number two thirty four. They obviously had

1718
01:27:53,120 --> 01:27:57,559
Speaker 2: to shed the salary because this just end Steve. Now

1719
01:27:57,640 --> 01:28:01,639
Speaker 2: that Alan Robinson's off the roster, the Rams have forty

1720
01:28:01,760 --> 01:28:05,719
Speaker 2: five players under contract and they are still cap strapped.

1721
01:28:07,720 --> 01:28:09,000
Speaker 1: They can't even go to training camp.

1722
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:11,120
Speaker 2: Do you think they're saying the same thing about draft

1723
01:28:11,160 --> 01:28:13,439
Speaker 2: picks now? They need as many as they can get

1724
01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:16,519
Speaker 2: for cheap labor. They're trying to just move They move

1725
01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:19,240
Speaker 2: out even seventeen spots in the seventh round.

1726
01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:21,200
Speaker 1: They can sign a ton of guys at the veteran

1727
01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:24,960
Speaker 1: minimum and unrestrict, undrafted rookie free agents, all that stuff,

1728
01:28:25,439 --> 01:28:27,720
Speaker 1: but they're not gonna be a very good football team.

1729
01:28:28,240 --> 01:28:30,960
Speaker 2: And here's the other part of the trade. There was

1730
01:28:31,040 --> 01:28:35,519
Speaker 2: fifteen million and guaranteed fifteen million dollars in salary, five

1731
01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:40,640
Speaker 2: bonus ten in base for Alan Robinson. This year the

1732
01:28:40,760 --> 01:28:43,840
Speaker 2: Rams are paying ten in a quarter of it. Realers

1733
01:28:43,880 --> 01:28:51,680
Speaker 2: are only paying the remaining five million dollars. And they

1734
01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:54,479
Speaker 2: gave up a seven. They didn't give up a seven.

1735
01:28:54,479 --> 01:28:55,400
Speaker 2: They're getting one back.

1736
01:28:56,200 --> 01:28:59,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, they got a seven for him. They gave they

1737
01:28:59,560 --> 01:28:59,920
Speaker 1: got Allen.

1738
01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:01,920
Speaker 2: They gave up a seven to get Alan Robinson in

1739
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:02,720
Speaker 2: a seventh.

1740
01:29:02,479 --> 01:29:04,479
Speaker 1: They got Alan Robinson for on a two year deal

1741
01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:08,439
Speaker 1: with first year only five million dollars. That's I'm surprised

1742
01:29:08,479 --> 01:29:11,639
Speaker 1: not more dire straits I'm surprised when more teams we're

1743
01:29:11,640 --> 01:29:12,000
Speaker 1: in on that.

1744
01:29:12,320 --> 01:29:14,599
Speaker 2: That's it for us here on a Tuesday. We'll see

1745
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:16,639
Speaker 2: you tomorrow on Wednesday, at one
