1 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: This One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health. 2 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 2: All Right, it is Wednesday. Here on One Bill's Live. 3 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 2: Chris Brown Steve Jasker with you. Players are back on 4 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 2: the practice field as game install begins for Sunday season 5 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 2: opener against the Arizona Cardinals. And some news today. As 6 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 2: coach McDermot addressed the media about an hour ago, we 7 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 2: will play his comments for you here shortly so you 8 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 2: can hear them in pretty much their entirety for the 9 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 2: most part. But first the injury news to get to 10 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 2: and believe it or not, it's it's pretty good news 11 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 2: because Mitch Trubisky is practicing on a limited basis. We 12 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 2: saw him out there look to be moving quite well, 13 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 2: certainly a lot better than he was when he was 14 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 2: a week removed from the injury and was still hobbling 15 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 2: around with the knee injury. So moving out there pretty 16 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 2: well in individual position drills, you know, Coach McDermott said, 17 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 2: if we do have to, you know, call Mike White 18 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 2: up from the practice squad because Mitch is not able. 19 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 2: You know, they have full confidence they'll be able to 20 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 2: handle it. But based on the way Mitch is moving 21 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 2: out there, I think they have reason to be optimistic. 22 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, and Mike White's an option. You saw how good 23 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: or bad Denucci and Brown played in that preseason game 24 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: with a week to go, and he's had and Mike 25 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: White has had an entire couple of weeks. He's gonna 26 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: have an entire couple of weeks of run up to 27 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: the game set And let's face it, if you go 28 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: to miss Trubisky or Mike White an opening day, hopefully 29 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: it's to kneel down. So they're going to be But 30 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: you do want to have somebody who can at least 31 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: get back to the running back to hand it off 32 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: from under center kind of stuff. So yeah, not a 33 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: major concern at all, I don't think on either side. 34 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 2: Bill's practice updates are presented by Leecom Lake Erie College 35 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 2: of Osteopathic Medicine. And the only player not practicing today 36 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 2: due to injury is the rookie Javon Solomon. He's got 37 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 2: an oblique injury and he is not practicing today. Here's 38 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 2: the good news. Curtis Samuel, Quinton Morris, and Cole Bishop, 39 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 2: who have all been out for over a week, are 40 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 2: practicing fully today. Cole Bishop has shed the red non 41 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 2: contact Jersey. So good to see all of those players back. 42 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 2: And I think when we saw Steve that the Bills 43 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 2: when they set their fifty three man roster only went 44 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,839 Speaker 2: with five wide receivers including Samuel, and only three tight 45 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 2: ends including Morris, we got the sense that these two 46 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 2: guys were going to be ready to go by Week one. 47 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, And as bad as it was during the preseason 48 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: when they didn't, you know, they tiptoed through the preseason 49 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: games because of the injury list, it doesn't seem to 50 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: be the case, and obviously they didn't. From this end 51 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: of it, they're they did the right thing by sitting 52 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: all these guys, letting them get healthy, letting them watch practice, 53 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: bringing them back very slowly. And now, of course for 54 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: Week one you'd like to hit the field one hundred 55 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: percent healthy, which looks like they might have a chance 56 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: to do. 57 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 2: And the other development, even though Cole Bishop is healthy 58 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 2: and Mike Edwards has re entered the practice fold fully 59 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 2: coming back from their extended injuries, coach McDermott did say 60 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 2: today that tomar Hamlin will be the starting safety opposite 61 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 2: Tailor Rap in the Bills defensive backfield here in Week one. 62 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 2: Now could that change between now and next week or 63 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 2: maybe even a month from now. Sure, but Hamlin's been 64 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 2: readily available. He's missed limited time. He had a hamstring 65 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 2: strain a little over a week ago, missed a couple 66 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 2: of practices, but that pales in comparison to the time 67 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 2: missed by Mike Edwards this offseason and Cole Bishop who 68 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 2: had the shoulder injury. So Hamlin takes advantage of an opportunity, 69 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 2: not unlike the way Joe Andreesen did at the linebacker position. 70 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 2: And Hamlin is your starter at presumably free safety, as 71 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 2: we're expecting Rap to be up closer to the line 72 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 2: of scrimmage in most cases. 73 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you got a guy out there. Both these guys, 74 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: Hamlin and Rap have been in this defense for a 75 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: minute wrap all of last year, and of course Hamlin's 76 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: been here his entire career, so he should be well 77 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: versed in how this works. And he's had a chance 78 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: to sit and watch Poyer and hide. He's been out 79 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: there taking a ton of reps. Like you said, up 80 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: until you know, he had a couple of days out 81 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: because of the hamstring. He's got a ton of reps 82 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: in this camp, so he should be fully up and 83 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: ready to go and mentally right there with where he 84 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: should be. 85 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 2: So those are kind of the nuts and bolts of 86 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 2: Bill's new news. We'll let coach McDermot handle the rest 87 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 2: in just a little bit when we play his press 88 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 2: conference comments for you here in about ten minutes time. 89 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 2: We need to remind you, though, that with the new 90 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 2: season upon us and your football watching set to go 91 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 2: into overdrive, we proudly bring back our public service for you, 92 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 2: better known as the Football Relationship Hotline, presented by Pepsi, 93 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 2: the official soft drink of the Buffalo Bills.

I don't know that he's as good as Taran, 177 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 2: but he's pretty good and gets paid for his efforts. 178 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 2: This one surprised me, Steve. The Pittsburgh Steelers have a 179 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 2: new deal with veteran defensive tackle Cameron Hayward three years, 180 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 2: forty five million, fifteen to sign, sixteen fully guaranteed and 181 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:26,359 Speaker 2: twenty nine million in new money. He's thirty three. 182 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: Yes I say that, yes he is, but he plays 183 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: still at a high level. He is still I don't 184 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: he's even above above average. He's I don't know if 185 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: he's elite, because there's some great guys out there, but 186 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: he is dependable. I think one of the things that 187 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: you look at, particularly with the Steelers Hayward, although with 188 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: rare exception, he's always available. It seems like he has 189 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: durable Yeah. Yeah, he's durable, and that's something that teams 190 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: don't take lightly. Now he has missed some time, but 191 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: by and large, he's a guy that lines up every 192 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: week and that's important too to remember. But he's you know, 193 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: he's still playing at a high level even in his 194 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: early to mid thirties. 195 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 2: Details are out on Trent Williams new contract with the 196 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 2: forty nine Ers. Forty nine Ers are going to guarantee 197 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 2: the next two years on Trent Williams contract. That equates 198 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 2: to forty eight million dollars, including the addition of seven 199 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 2: point six million in salary this season. He's got three 200 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 2: years left on his deal. He'll make twenty seven point 201 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,839 Speaker 2: six million in cash this season. That's the most of 202 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 2: any offensive lineman. So the Niners doing a little cash 203 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 2: versus cap kind of move here for the thirty six 204 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 2: year old left tackle. 205 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. They I don't know how that conversation goes, but 206 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: you'd be hard pressed to convince anybody they're going in 207 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: the season without that guy. They're going to find a 208 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: way to get him in the door. Yeah, And of 209 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: course they did just they just wrote the check. 210 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 2: So at the end of this deal he'll be thirty eight. 211 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 2: I mean, there are a few players that have played 212 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 2: that long. 213 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: Jason Peters comes to Maters is really the only guy 214 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: you can do it. And I saw some guys like 215 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: Bruce Matthews was able to do it for a long time. 216 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 2: Center's a little different than tackle, yes, but. 217 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: Bruce played off. He went to the Pro Bowl, all 218 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: five spots on the offensive line, so he's he's one 219 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: of those guys too, So you know, Jackie Slater did 220 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: it for a long time. Of course, those guys are well. 221 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: I mean that's the caliber you talk about. I mean right, yeah, 222 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: those not many Hall of Fame calibdar are not many, Yes, 223 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: there are not many. 224 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 2: Eagles linebacker Devin White, who is dealing with an ankle injury, 225 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 2: has essentially been ruled out of the Eagles season opener 226 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 2: against the Packers in Brazil. He did not travel with 227 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 2: the team and was declared out for Friday night against 228 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 2: the Packers, so he will not play. He actually got 229 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 2: signed as a free agent this offseason Steve and got 230 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 2: beat out by twenty twenty three draft choice for the 231 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 2: Eagles Nakobe Dean, a Georgia product, for the starting middle 232 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 2: linebacker job, so he's essentially a backup right now, which 233 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 2: is a little surprising me. Devin White was a first 234 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 2: round pick just five years ago and at age twenty six, 235 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 2: got beat out for a starting job by Nikobe Dean 236 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 2: not going to play on front. 237 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: Kobe Dean's got a bigger upside now too, probably right 238 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: and as well as beating him out. So yeah, Devin White, 239 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: did he live up to that draft spot? 240 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 2: He was a fifth overall pick, I think so, I 241 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 2: don't know. I don't have He came out like a 242 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 2: house on fire his first two years. He's got one 243 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 2: Pro Bowl under his belt and super athletic player. It's 244 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,599 Speaker 2: already sparked speculation that the Eagles might move him in 245 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 2: a trade. I don't know if that's gonna. 246 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,959 Speaker 1: Happen, but well, it depends on the compensation. 247 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, he signed a one year, five million 248 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 2: dollar deal. That's what he signed to free agency, so. 249 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: Well, he and they'd probably talk to it. If most 250 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: franchises would do that, say hey what about it? And 251 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: the guy says, yeah, I'm up for it because I want. 252 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 2: To play, Yeah, especially at age twenty six. 253 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: Right. 254 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 2: Kadarius Tony is looking for work after his release from 255 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 2: the Chiefs when he didn't make their fifty three man roster. 256 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 2: Visited with the Seahawks. No signing there, but Tony is 257 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 2: going to take one more free agent visit. That is undisclosed, 258 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 2: but he's going to sort through his options and then 259 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 2: decide where he's going to land. And in case anyone 260 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 2: missed it, our good friend Kyle Brand from Good Morning 261 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 2: Football on NFL Network his pick Josh Allen as his 262 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 2: league MVP this season so interesting that, well, I guess 263 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 2: it's not that surprising. I think this might be Josh's 264 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 2: best look at, you know, the MVP award, provided his 265 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 2: product continues from what we've seen over the last several years. 266 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 2: Because I think the narrative outside of Western New York 267 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 2: is that Josh has to do it all by himself 268 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 2: because there's no Digs, there's no Davis, his center left 269 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 2: all this stuff, and I think a lot of people 270 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 2: outside of Western New York believe he's got to do 271 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 2: even more this season. So if he has just as 272 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 2: much production as he always has, I think he'll be 273 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 2: more firmly in the running, so to speak. Does that 274 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 2: make sense? 275 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: Absolutely? Yeah, Absolutely, You've got And there's no question the 276 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: guys that are here. On offense, I told you, I've 277 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: been telling you what I think. I think this is 278 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: going to be a little bit of a different looking 279 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: offense with Joe Brady, with the guys they've got with 280 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: the roster makeup, I think they're going to be once 281 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: again the hardest team in the league to get off 282 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: the field on third down, and I think they're going 283 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: to lead the league in first downs again. So I 284 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: think all of that plus if you can cap off 285 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: more drives and not have to drop down passes, not 286 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: have you know, turnal. You know, even if Josh just 287 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: cuts him off a little, not even he's gonna be 288 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: hard to beat in that conversation, because there's going to 289 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: be a team that's going to be deep into the 290 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: bracket again. 291 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 2: So that is Around the NFL presented by Kaleida Health. 292 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 2: We pivot now to head coach Sean McDermott, who addressed 293 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 2: the media last hour. We're going to let him bring 294 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 2: you up to speed on everything from the injury updates 295 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 2: to the team captains for the twenty twenty four season. 296 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 3: Here is coach captains wise. 297 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 4: I know that's for some of you a question that 298 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 4: you'll want to want to know the answer to. So 299 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 4: our captains this year helping lead our football team will 300 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 4: be Josh Allen and Terrell Bernard, and then around them 301 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 4: will also be a place to a leadership group or 302 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 4: council of ten other ten other players which will help 303 00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 4: lead our football team. 304 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 3: So with that, I'll turn over you for your questions. 305 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 5: So Sean as a departure from having a bigger number 306 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 5: of captains, I guess right both went into that decision. 307 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, just overall, you know, so more than anything, it's 308 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 4: the leadership structure, if you will, is going to be 309 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 4: different every year, just based on you know, one team 310 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 4: over another, and every team's different. So just felt strongly 311 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 4: that the leadership structure that we put into place this 312 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 4: year is what is what this team calls for him 313 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 4: what it needs. 314 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 6: Going to offense, how comfortable are you with I mean 315 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 6: there's been times just has not played in the preseason, 316 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 6: but given the newcomers that have come and helped, how 317 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 6: many different players are on our offense, how comfortable are 318 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 6: you having the offense having been on appeal for maybe 319 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 6: four and a half minutes of the actual game time 320 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 6: in the preseason going get this on a Sunday. 321 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 4: Well, I think overall that's probably true for Josh right, 322 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 4: but not not true of the entire offense. I mean, 323 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 4: most of the offense was out there in the Pittsburgh game, 324 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 4: I would say in addition to the to the game 325 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 4: you reference there, so uh, you know, practice time too 326 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 4: is important and and practicing in a way that gets 327 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 4: you as acclimated as you. 328 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 3: Can be to the game. And so you know, the 329 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 3: plan was. 330 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 4: To play all of them as well in that third 331 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 4: preseason game, but just again due to the ment, the 332 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 4: injuries that we had, uh had had incourred it to 333 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 4: that point, I just didn't think it was the best 334 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 4: for for us there. So yeah, so you know, a 335 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 4: lot of people take different approaches. Sometimes your hand is forced, 336 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 4: you know, just based on the situation. 337 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 7: She gets pretty expected of ter Al Bernard is ending 338 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 7: up a captain. But what was it like just telling 339 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 7: him and that moment for him? 340 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was great. 341 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 4: You know, He's he's a player that, as you know, 342 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 4: has has certainly performed on the field and and I 343 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,959 Speaker 4: think it's really really been fun to watch him develop 344 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 4: as a leader and and the work that's that he's 345 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 4: done and the work that our staff has done with him. 346 00:18:58,600 --> 00:18:58,719 Speaker 8: Uh. 347 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 4: Will Greenberg, I know, or one of our assistant strength 348 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,199 Speaker 4: coaches does a lot of work with with Terrell and 349 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 4: developing him and his leadership, and and he's done a 350 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 4: phenomenal job. Those two working together, and his leadership is 351 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 4: important and everyone feels that around them. 352 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:21,959 Speaker 5: I curt Samuel Backfogo today. His unique skill set, how 353 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 5: may doors is right open for Joe in terms of 354 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 5: lining up, studying up magics for other guys on the field. 355 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 4: At the same time, well, it offers some level of 356 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 4: unpre predictability, I would guess, you know, but overall, you know, 357 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 4: it's what's important mostly for us is that we get 358 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 4: into a rhythm and we continue to learn some of 359 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 4: these new players that we have, Curtis being one of them. 360 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 4: Were excited to see him out there at practice today 361 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 4: and and then tomorrow and on into the game. So 362 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 4: I think we're still because of the number of unknowns 363 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 4: and and somewhat some younger guys being unproven and whatnot. It's, uh, 364 00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 4: we're gonna learn a little bit about our team every week. 365 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 3: Move forward. Nature of ja Don Solomon's injury oblique Yeah. 366 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 4: Se safety has been such a key thing for you 367 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 4: guys in the stability. 368 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 3: Where do you see now? 369 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 9: Where's Mike Edwards and where do you see that position? 370 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 3: Right those two positions right now. 371 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 4: They're strong and the free I mean they're they're a 372 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 4: little bit interchangeable, right, you know how we do that. 373 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 4: So you know, we'll see how it unfolds this week 374 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 4: with with who goes where and who plays what position. 375 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 4: And because again of the late start, I would say 376 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 4: just due to the injuries. With Mike learning the system, 377 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 4: Cole the same way, continuing to learn the system to 378 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 4: get themselves ready to go for SAT for Sunday and beyond. 379 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 5: What have you seen out of Mike as he's approached. 380 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 3: That challenge, h He's a pro. 381 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,919 Speaker 4: You know, you look at where he's come from Tampa 382 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,360 Speaker 4: Bay and then and then Kansas City where they both 383 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 4: had both teams had success right when he was there. 384 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 4: So it's just it's just a process to learn. Sometimes 385 00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 4: it's similar defenses but but different terminology and sometimes that's 386 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 4: the that's the biggest challenge with some of these guys 387 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 4: who have been in other places. So Mike's been you know, 388 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 4: a good addition to our team and and you know, 389 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 4: we we enjoy having them out there. 390 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 9: You know, you know who will start next to rap Safety. 391 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 3: Yeah tomorrow, Hammlin will start. 392 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 2: Fresh.

You guys have written about that over, 399 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 4: uh and over, and I mean to come back from that. 400 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 4: You know, it's one thing to come back off of 401 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 4: an ACL or a broken bone. 402 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 3: It's another thing to. 403 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 4: Come back off of what he came back off of right, 404 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 4: let alone, just to decide to play football and contact 405 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 4: football right in full pads at the NFL level. I 406 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 4: don't think I need to say anything more. I mean, 407 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 4: it's incredible.

Yeah, No, it's I mean the defensive coaches 421 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 4: handle that, and when you're around it enough you kind 422 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 4: of get the feel. Yeah, I'm taking reps with the 423 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 4: with the ones and so yeah, but I'm I'm sure 424 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 4: we'll touch base later in the week. And the most 425 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 4: important thing for our team overall is just to have 426 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 4: a regular week. 427 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 3: I know, it's the first week. 428 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 4: You know, there's a lot of energy, right, It's going 429 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 4: to be a home opener, season opener, and that's gonna 430 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 4: be awesome, right to be at home to do that, 431 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 4: you know, it's important that we remain poised and and 432 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 4: manage our energy at the same time so we can execute. 433 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 8: On the field during camp. 434 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 3: To makes the refer to this to start outs, and 435 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 3: they like, what did he do throughout camp? 436 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 10: Who he's I guess limited preseason time. 437 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 4: To make a film. Yeah, I think it's consistency and 438 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 4: and an opportunity, right, So the opportunity that was there, 439 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 4: he took advantage of it and was consistent. Built you 440 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 4: know a certain level of rapport with t Rap and 441 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,479 Speaker 4: and that's important as well at the safety position. 442 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 3: So watching those. 443 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 4: Two communicate and so you know, anxious to watch both 444 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 4: of them play this weekend. 445 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 5: Sean, You've only you've only seen Kyler Murray one time 446 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 5: and obviously, as you will call, that did not end well. 447 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 2: There was on of that. 448 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 10: I remember that game. 449 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 5: Obviously he's been hurt, he had the knee injury. But 450 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 5: what do you what are you thinking you're gonna be 451 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 5: able to You're going to be seeing that from this kid, 452 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 5: you know now that you go over the injury and 453 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 5: in fact of being who he was. 454 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a dynamic player. They have a number of 455 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 4: weapons on that side of the ball in particular and 456 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 4: really across their roster. So it'll be a big challenge 457 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 4: for us. It's it's never easy when you've got a 458 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 4: player that's a two dimensional threat that can throw it 459 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,719 Speaker 4: from the pocket and also run and create headaches like that. 460 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 4: So an extent plays right, so quite a few you know, 461 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 4: the the quarterback design runs and so on and so forth. 462 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 4: So you know, our our structured defensively is going to 463 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 4: be very important to us. 464 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 6: Speaking of that play and not to bring just that 465 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 6: one up, but that's part of you often referenced scar 466 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 6: tissue and develop this team developing scar tissue over the 467 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 6: course of the years. How do you now convey or 468 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 6: rebuild that scar tissue knowing that you only have ten 469 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 6: guys who. 470 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 8: Are who are there from from at at at during 471 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,439 Speaker 8: hail murray or how did how do you carry that 472 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 8: over as a team that hasn't something like a lot 473 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 8: of guys haven't built up that scar tissue. 474 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 4: Man, That's probably a complex question, John, Really, it's you know, 475 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 4: every year is a new year, right so you know, 476 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 4: to go back to that those of us that were 477 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 4: there and experienced it and are still here. Yeah, that's 478 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 4: that's part of our past. But we were looking forward 479 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,160 Speaker 4: to this week.

And you know, it's hard too 508 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 4: because there's a lot of unknowns when you're coming off 509 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 4: of off of the off season and into the first 510 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 4: game of the year, and and so you know it's 511 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 4: important that that all those things that I just mentioned 512 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 4: are really top shelf for us, and that's you know, 513 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 4: we're gonna know primarily we feel like what they what 514 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 4: they want to do, They'll probably gonna know the same 515 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 4: for us, and I you know, it's just a lot 516 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 4: of Hey, let's make sure that that we have everything 517 00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 4: where we need it to be. 518 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 1: You've got some challenges this week. I know it's the 519 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: first game, but you got a quick turnaround in a 520 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: place a couple of years ago. 521 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 5: You had our early game and you had over thirteen 522 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 5: players that suffered from dehydration. 523 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: Is that something you've got to manage throughout this game. 524 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not talking about that game. I'm not talking 525 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 4: about that game. I appreciate your question, but I'm focused 526 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 4: on Arizona. We're focused on Arizona. 527 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: All right. 528 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 2: So that's coach mcderman addressing the media today, And that 529 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 2: last question was in reference to the Miami game, which 530 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 2: comes up on the bills quickly Thursday night on the 531 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 2: road in week two. But obviously coaches priority is Week 532 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 2: one and he doesn't want the eyes of his players 533 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 2: straying from that focus either, so that's why he chose 534 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 2: not to address it. I think it's a good thing 535 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 2: that that game is at night in September in Miami, 536 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 2: not like the Week two game three years ago where 537 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 2: guys were literally collapsing on the field due to heat stroke, sunstroke, 538 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 2: dehydration have you. So that's the plus. But you got 539 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 2: to get this one first, and then you hope you 540 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,199 Speaker 2: can rally and turn it around and play again in 541 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 2: four days on the road against a division opponent. Probably 542 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 2: the biggest thing we pulled out of that press conference, 543 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 2: though Steve, was the new structure of the captaincy on 544 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 2: this roster. Only two captains Josh Allen, Terrell Bernard, the 545 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 2: play callers on offense and defense, respectively. And there will 546 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 2: be a leadership council, just so everybody knows. Since Sean 547 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 2: McDermott has been head coach here in Buffalo, he has 548 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 2: always had a leadership council of about ten or twelve players, 549 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 2: and those players meet with him on the regular during 550 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 2: the season so he can have his finger on the 551 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 2: pulse of the locker room. Are guys hanging like, do 552 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 2: we have to back off on practice this week? Is 553 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 2: there something that needs to be addressed with the team's 554 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 2: mental psyche? Are they down about something? How do we 555 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 2: address that, and then he huddles up with those players 556 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 2: and they determine the course of action. 557 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, when there's choices to be made, like you want, 558 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: like on a bye week, would you want Tuesday or Wednesday? Offer? 559 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: If we're going to have this many days off, how 560 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: do you want us to allocate him? That kind of thing, 561 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: and they can chime in. It doesn't mean it's going 562 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: to happen exactly the way they want to, but at 563 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: least the coach knows what they're thinking. It's a great 564 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: way for him to, like you said, just know what 565 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: the locker room thinks about everything. 566 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 2: I mean, there could be an instance where maybe a 567 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 2: rookie player is struggling with part of his assignments and 568 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 2: the coach, you know, the position coach has tried to 569 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 2: help him. A veteran teammate on the leadership council's tried 570 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 2: to help him, and he sees that the kids down 571 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 2: the dumps, they can't pull him out of it. You 572 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 2: alert the head coach, You're like, you let him know, Hey, 573 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 2: this might be something you have to handle now because 574 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 2: we've tried to, you know, rectify it on our own 575 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 2: and it's not working. So here's a head's up. And 576 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 2: that's some of the benefits that a coach like Sean 577 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 2: McDermott likes to tap into by having a leadership council. 578 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 2: But it is a departure from what we've seen the 579 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 2: last several years. I mean, there have typically been about 580 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 2: six captains, two in each phase of the game, and 581 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 2: we've only got two out for the entire team. 582 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 1: I thought his answer to this was right, really spot on. 583 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: Every team is different. Just because you had six or 584 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: eight captains one year doesn't mean it's the same the 585 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: next year, particularly with the turnover that they've had. And 586 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: it's good that you got two guys at the focal 587 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 1: point of both sides of the ball that said, hey, 588 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: these are the dudes, let's go. And it's great, it 589 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: says to me, It really seems speaks to me how 590 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: willing Sean McDermott is to stay is to just not 591 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 1: get pigeonholed or you know all of that stuff. Just 592 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: treat every team as its own animal. And sometimes you know, 593 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: you know, you get a good dog, sometimes you get 594 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: a bad dog. You got to treat them differently. And 595 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: those teams need, the voices need to be different. And 596 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: his realization of that, I think is spot on. 597 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 2: We have to take a break here, but we want 598 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 2: to remind you the Football Relationship Hotline is open for 599 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 2: you at eight h three oh five fifty one eight 600 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 2: eight eight five point fifty two five fifty.

He's worried he's not 635 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 2: gonna be able to get out of bed if he 636 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 2: goes down at ten and sets his alarm for kickoff 637 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 2: at one. 638 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: I am a big fan of getting up, but do 639 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: whatever you have to do to get to bed and 640 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: get to sleep earlier. You gotta line it up a 641 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: day or two before. Like we said, we always got 642 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 1: to plan ahead, get to bed at like eight, yeah, seven, 643 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: seven pm, so you can get up at one and 644 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 1: then you can just cat andnap until you have to 645 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: get up and go to work normally. But once the 646 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 1: game is over, and I don't know if you're like 647 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 1: if everybody else is like this, but I certainly am. 648 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: After we do the broadcast of the game.

Yeah, I'm up. 655 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 1: I'm up till all hours that night. 656 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 2: I'm thinking about Dingo's situation here, and the game starts 657 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 2: at one am Monday morning. I'm not going to pretend 658 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 2: to know how soon he's got to get into work. 659 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,439 Speaker 2: But the game's over at four, you can conceivably get 660 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 2: a couple more hours on the back end. But to 661 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 2: your point, he might be watch just after the game. 662 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 2: So if that's the case and you can't go back 663 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 2: down after the game's over for a couple of hours 664 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 2: before getting up for work, I would say get to 665 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 2: bed around six thirty seven pm, so you can at 666 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 2: least get six hours in take before the game is 667 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 2: even on, because ding I don't know about you, but 668 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 2: I can get through a workday on six hours sleep. 669 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,840 Speaker 1: Dingo needs Dingo, you need to go to your doctor, 670 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,320 Speaker 1: talk to him about something that will knock you out 671 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: for about six hours and take that at like six 672 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 1: thirty or seven at night and go to sleep and 673 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 1: then wake up and watch the game. Because once the 674 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: game is on and the Bills are going to play 675 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,839 Speaker 1: like we think and hope they're going to play, you're 676 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,760 Speaker 1: gonna be too wired to go back to sleep anyway. 677 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 1: So get it on the front end. Yeah, get it 678 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 1: on the front end. Uh. Yeah, don't go to bed 679 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 1: at ten pm like in your tweet. You got to 680 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:24,360 Speaker 1: go to bed at seven pm. 681 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, So he's got a thirteen hour time different or 682 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:29,400 Speaker 2: a twelve hour time difference. 683 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: That's the that's the sacrifice you have to make. Yeah, 684 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 1: it's not during the night, it's the early evening. It's 685 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:36,839 Speaker 1: Saturday evening. 686 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, or Sundays in his case, Sunday into Monday. 687 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 1: Although for the night games of the bill. 688 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 2: That's what I was thinking about. He's got Monday night. 689 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:45,399 Speaker 1: He's got it made for. 690 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,319 Speaker 2: Those Monday nights. In eight twenty kickoff, which means it's 691 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 2: a twenty in the morning the next day on Tuesday. 692 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, you'd probably write a work huh. 693 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, just have it on your phone there while you're working. 694 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, have the have the voice of the Buffalo Bills. 695 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 2: That's a lot easier than doing the one pms. Oh, 696 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 2: he's in the complete opposite boat. Night games are better 697 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 2: for him. Games must Meanwhile, for our folks on the 698 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,840 Speaker 2: other side of the Atlantic, you know, we have a 699 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,840 Speaker 2: one pm game. That's good for them because that's a 700 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 2: that's a six pm SIM that's doable. But when we 701 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 2: have a nine or eight twenty pm game, it's starting 702 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 2: at one twenty am for them.

Arizona and I believe Houston are the 714 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:09,360 Speaker 2: two exceptions. Those are both one o'clock games. So we 715 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 2: can enjoy it while you got it this week, because 716 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:13,320 Speaker 2: it's going to change quickly. 717 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 1: Only three games through the first seven weeks or at 718 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 1: one o'clock and it's week one, week five, week seven. 719 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:25,760 Speaker 2: How many people steve?

Unless it's a nice cream shop? 727 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:55,120 Speaker 2: Right? Yeah, I get it, Andrew. I think people, especially 728 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,960 Speaker 2: when the weather is really nice here in September and October, 729 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,800 Speaker 2: they have a lot of respect for the one pm 730 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,359 Speaker 2: routine because even after the game, if you don't want 731 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 2: to sit in traffic, you can hang out in the 732 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,400 Speaker 2: lot for a couple of hours, maybe even cooking just 733 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,319 Speaker 2: dinner before you go home. 734 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,719 Speaker 1: One of the highlights of the entire year last year 735 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 1: was the Week four game against the Miami Dolphins. Bills 736 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 1: are one and two, Dolphins are three and oh or 737 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,280 Speaker 1: two and one, and the Dolphins are three and oh. 738 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,440 Speaker 1: Dolphins hang seventy on the Broncos and are coming into Buffalo. 739 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,879 Speaker 1: And I don't know if anybody else remembers this. It 740 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 1: was spectacular every shape and form you can possibly have 741 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,320 Speaker 1: for a Buffalo Bill's home game. One o'clock Sunday afternoon, 742 00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:40,719 Speaker 1: spectacularly beautiful, perfect temperature. That was October one last It 743 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 1: was absolutely beautiful. And of course the Bills absolutely curb 744 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 1: stomped the Dolphins in that game. So it was a 745 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,279 Speaker 1: beauty of a day. And those are the ones you 746 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,600 Speaker 1: kind of that's you know, that's why everybody wants that, 747 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: because they want to recreate that, particularly with this crew 748 00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,319 Speaker 1: in this locker room. They can you know, they get 749 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 1: a you know, thirty five point five touchdown, you know 750 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,359 Speaker 1: game from Josh Allen. It's a pretty good day, you know, 751 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,440 Speaker 1: and come out and it's beautiful and just kind of 752 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: hang out for one o'clock. You can get out of here. 753 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 1: Even if you hang around, you can get out of here. 754 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,760 Speaker 1: You're you know, you're home at six at the worst. 755 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:20,279 Speaker 1: That's after hanging around, you know, having a cooking a 756 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 1: fire in the grill back up after the game and 757 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 1: getting a little something to eat at the tailgate the postgate. 758 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 1: Then go home and we'll catch the night game. Indeed, 759 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 1: you know, that's great. That's why everybody, that's why everybody 760 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 1: kind of clamors for that. And I know this back 761 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:41,080 Speaker 1: in the day, way back in the day, the Bills 762 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 1: requested one o'clock late one o'clock Sunday afternoon, one o'clock 763 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:52,279 Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon. They said they would forego night games in 764 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,200 Speaker 1: favor of it, because the fans love it so much. 765 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,959 Speaker 2: Jennifer says, my dilemma is that I'll be driving back 766 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 2: from my besties house in southwestern Illinois to Rochester and 767 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,280 Speaker 2: won't be able to watch the game. I'll be listening, 768 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,840 Speaker 2: of course, and scaring the crap out of my dogs 769 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 2: in the back seat with screaming and cheering. We appreciate 770 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 2: the fact that you'll be listening to the game. So 771 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,200 Speaker 2: thank you for that, Jennifer. But as we say all 772 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 2: the time, there is a way to plan this.

I 825 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:18,640 Speaker 2: hope they set up early. 826 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:23,000 Speaker 1: We have pep We got some pepsi zeros here that 827 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:24,839 Speaker 1: it's great. I mean, I really like it. 828 00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 2: I was just saying yesterday on the show. I actually 829 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,839 Speaker 2: prefer the zero sugar. 830 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 1: To the diet. 831 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, it tastes more like the original. I can't be 832 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,279 Speaker 2: drinking that much sugar with the original stuff anymore. I'm 833 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:41,319 Speaker 2: not sixteen, So the zero sugar is a huge, a 834 00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,200 Speaker 2: hugely attractive alternative. 835 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,399 Speaker 1: Yeah. So buffalo pepsi, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta. 836 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,319 Speaker 2: If you're coming into the game on Sunday. Make sure 837 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,200 Speaker 2: you get over there to the pet I can get 838 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:51,879 Speaker 2: over there. They'll be right on the bill Ofvard. I'm 839 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:53,600 Speaker 2: probably not far from the bills store. 840 00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,279 Speaker 1: I'm insanely busy on game, dank. 841 00:43:56,040 --> 00:44:00,560 Speaker 2: Are you really insanely busy? That sounds yeah, little strung. 842 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,600 Speaker 1: I got a ton of things I love to do. 843 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,759 Speaker 1: Oh there that I cannot I love not do, not 844 00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:06,680 Speaker 1: that I have to do. 845 00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,520 Speaker 2: A couple of news tidbits just came down in the 846 00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:15,960 Speaker 2: last few minutes. First from ESPN NFL Nation reporter Ben Baby, 847 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:20,839 Speaker 2: who covers the Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase is in 848 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:25,239 Speaker 2: uniform for today's practice. As we know, he has been 849 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,640 Speaker 2: a hold in throughout training camp as he seeks a 850 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,279 Speaker 2: new deal, despite the fact that he has two years 851 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:35,080 Speaker 2: left on his contract. Mike Brown is usually not in 852 00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,480 Speaker 2: the business of giving extensions to players with two years 853 00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,839 Speaker 2: left on their deal, So we'll see if there has 854 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,279 Speaker 2: been some movement on that front, and if that is 855 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:48,080 Speaker 2: the impetus for Chase participating in practice. The Bengals host 856 00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:49,720 Speaker 2: the Patriots on Sunday. 857 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,000 Speaker 1: I think this though a guy like Chase, who is 858 00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:57,560 Speaker 1: a high first round draft pick correct, So he gets 859 00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,400 Speaker 1: that five year deal and if they pick up option, 860 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:04,120 Speaker 1: the fifth year is is guaranteed. Anyway, I don't think it. 861 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:08,160 Speaker 1: I think certainly. I'm kind of with Mike Brown on this, 862 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:10,799 Speaker 1: like get you know, play four of them, you get 863 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,839 Speaker 1: to the guaranteed money, we'll add some juice on top 864 00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,399 Speaker 1: of the money we're gonna guarantee and when we pick 865 00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:17,040 Speaker 1: up your option. 866 00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,319 Speaker 2: But this has been a precipitated by how much the 867 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,320 Speaker 2: wide receiver market changed this offseason. 868 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I get all that, but that's not you know. 869 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,399 Speaker 2: He's like, people of Mike caliber are getting over thirty 870 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:32,240 Speaker 2: million a year. Where's my thirty. 871 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,000 Speaker 1: That's what I you know, And I'll say this too, 872 00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,040 Speaker 1: That's just what I was talking about with pascertain and 873 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:38,640 Speaker 1: the corner at Denver. You're the timing of your contract 874 00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:42,120 Speaker 1: and stuff and the money going up. You really do 875 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,799 Speaker 1: if you can. You got to wait your turn until 876 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:47,879 Speaker 1: the timing is right, when your contracts up or when 877 00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,560 Speaker 1: the team gives And I say this, I think there's 878 00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,400 Speaker 1: been a ton of guys who who have, in my opinion, 879 00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,799 Speaker 1: would have left money on the table. If that's if 880 00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,200 Speaker 1: that's the reason they're playing, they're left money on the 881 00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,239 Speaker 1: table because they were too impatient to wait to be 882 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:06,560 Speaker 1: a free agent. They were too impatient. If you get 883 00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:08,960 Speaker 1: to free agency, you're gonna get what. You're gonna get 884 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,400 Speaker 1: whatever you want. If you're a Jamar Chase, there is 885 00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:16,160 Speaker 1: gonna be more than a handful of teams that have 886 00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,480 Speaker 1: both the cap space and the desire to give you 887 00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,279 Speaker 1: whatever it takes to get you. You got to get 888 00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:25,800 Speaker 1: to that point now. If you don't feel comfortable playing 889 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,839 Speaker 1: for what's it gonna be for twenty five million dollars 890 00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:32,319 Speaker 1: at the Bengals are gonna be on the hook for 891 00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,000 Speaker 1: for this top five pick in the next two years, 892 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,759 Speaker 1: this year, in the next year, and the next year 893 00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,920 Speaker 1: is guaranteed. Fully. If you're not comfortable doing that, that's 894 00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,879 Speaker 1: one thing. But I'm telling you this, if you get there, 895 00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:49,840 Speaker 1: there's there's no roof. There's no roof, and so I 896 00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:51,799 Speaker 1: you know, I think guys, certainly you gotta bet. You 897 00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:55,319 Speaker 1: gotta bet on yourself, no question. We've seen other guys 898 00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,000 Speaker 1: do it. We've seen other guys do it and make 899 00:46:58,160 --> 00:46:59,440 Speaker 1: and get it done. 900 00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,840 Speaker 2: Big money was also handed out in the last hour 901 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:08,080 Speaker 2: in Washington. Commander's guard Sam Cosmi just signed a four year, 902 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:12,960 Speaker 2: seventy four million dollar extension that includes forty five million guaranteed. 903 00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,120 Speaker 2: So let me do the quick math there. That's twenty 904 00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:20,840 Speaker 2: is that right? No, that's seventeen million a year or sorry, 905 00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:29,800 Speaker 2: fourteen million a year for Sam cosmy forty five guarantee. 906 00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:33,040 Speaker 2: That's a good deal for a guard. So he's been 907 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,400 Speaker 2: a starter since they drafted him out of Texas. Believe 908 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,040 Speaker 2: he was a second or a third round pick for 909 00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,920 Speaker 2: them a few years ago. So he has cashed in 910 00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,719 Speaker 2: as well. So it's not just offensive tackles getting the 911 00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,120 Speaker 2: big bread. Well, the guards are getting it too. 912 00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:47,320 Speaker 1: Compared to the rest of us. They're all getting big bread. 913 00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,960 Speaker 1: But yeah, there's there's always going to be guys at 914 00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,560 Speaker 1: the top of every position in the NFL that are 915 00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:58,800 Speaker 1: making big money. Yes, and that's hey, they should. They should. 916 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,440 Speaker 2: There's a tennis note to pass along to you. As 917 00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,320 Speaker 2: we know, the US Open is in full swing in Queens, 918 00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:09,160 Speaker 2: New York at Forest Hills at the US Tennis Center, 919 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:14,200 Speaker 2: and Jesse Pegoula will be playing tonight in the quarterfinals. 920 00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,920 Speaker 2: She was the sixth seed in the draw and one 921 00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,080 Speaker 2: in straight sets in the fourth round to advance to 922 00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:25,280 Speaker 2: the quarterfinals. She will be facing the top seed, Aigas Switek, 923 00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:28,839 Speaker 2: so we'll see how that match goes. But if she 924 00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,560 Speaker 2: gets through that one, she could be through to the 925 00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:38,719 Speaker 2: final in short order because unranked Carolina Matchova one on 926 00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,480 Speaker 2: the other side of her bracket to advance to the semifinals, 927 00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:48,040 Speaker 2: and I think Jesse would whip her pretty well. You 928 00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:51,000 Speaker 2: got to get past the top seed, and she's torn 929 00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:51,719 Speaker 2: and everybody. 930 00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,399 Speaker 1: She's been tough for everybody to get past, obviously because 931 00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,319 Speaker 1: she's the one seed. But yeah, I'll be watched. I'm 932 00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:59,840 Speaker 1: going to try and catch that tonight when Jesse's on. 933 00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:03,920 Speaker 2: There have been some upsets though, Yes, the three seed 934 00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:07,520 Speaker 2: Coco Goff is out, the five seed Paolini from Italy 935 00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:13,960 Speaker 2: she's out. Yeah, I mean she's Jesse's one of only 936 00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:17,480 Speaker 2: three seeds in the top six left. It's her swy 937 00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,319 Speaker 2: Tech who she's playing, and Saballenka, who's on the other 938 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,600 Speaker 2: side of the bracket, who's the two seed. Those are 939 00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:25,319 Speaker 2: the only three players in the top six seeds left. 940 00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,719 Speaker 2: You get by swy Tech, she might might be a 941 00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:31,240 Speaker 2: way through to the final for her, which would be awesome. 942 00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:34,279 Speaker 1: Yes, I kneel. 943 00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:35,600 Speaker 2: Down your first major. I don't want to get ahead 944 00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,520 Speaker 2: of ourselves here, but good luck to her. Coach McDermott 945 00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,720 Speaker 2: even wister good luck at the top of his press conference. 946 00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:44,799 Speaker 2: So everybody in Western New York pulling for Jesse. So 947 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:48,800 Speaker 2: hopefully she scores the upset tonight and then takes it 948 00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:49,200 Speaker 2: from there. 949 00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:50,759 Speaker 1: Did you see a little bit of that thing last 950 00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:56,000 Speaker 1: night when the American Tiafo came through. 951 00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:58,880 Speaker 2: I did not see the match. I just saw some 952 00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,160 Speaker 2: of the highlights. It was a long match, wasn't it. 953 00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:06,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, he beat Dimitrov, who's the ninth drawing, and Tiafo 954 00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:11,080 Speaker 1: was twentieth and he beat him. And now that's two 955 00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:19,240 Speaker 1: Americans in the men's singles quarter half semi finals. That's awesome. 956 00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:23,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome. So good luck to Jesse tonight. Hopefully 957 00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:26,800 Speaker 2: she scores the upset and gets through to the semifinals, 958 00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:28,759 Speaker 2: which I think would be the furthest she's ever gone 959 00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:32,600 Speaker 2: as a singles player in the US Open. We have 960 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,359 Speaker 2: to take a break here, but when we come back. 961 00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:40,359 Speaker 2: NFL analyst National NFL analyst for ESPN, Ben Solak going 962 00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:43,680 Speaker 2: to join us put together a list of X factors 963 00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:47,920 Speaker 2: for all thirty two teams for this upcoming twenty twenty 964 00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:51,959 Speaker 2: four season, among other write ups at ESPN dot com. 965 00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:53,959 Speaker 2: We want to cover some ground with him on those 966 00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,640 Speaker 2: fronts when we return here on One Bill's Live presented 967 00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:57,279 Speaker 2: by Kalida Health. 968 00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:38,640 Speaker 11: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. 969 00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:47,239 Speaker 1: This this One Bill's Live presented by Calida Health. 970 00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,560 Speaker 2: All right, here we are hour number two on a Wednesday, 971 00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:51,920 Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Task.

You know, you recently put 980 00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:13,240 Speaker 2: together a list of X factors for every NFL team, 981 00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:16,160 Speaker 2: and I'm gonna play a little bit of Devil's Advocate 982 00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,120 Speaker 2: here with you because the guy you picked for the 983 00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:21,680 Speaker 2: Bills was Dalton Kincaid, and I'm thinking to myself, Hell, 984 00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:23,600 Speaker 2: this guy better be bigger than an X factor for 985 00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,759 Speaker 2: this team. He's got to be the leading receiver. So 986 00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:28,960 Speaker 2: maybe just line up your logic for us as to 987 00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,080 Speaker 2: why Dalton Cancaid X factor for the Bills. 988 00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:33,799 Speaker 10: Yeah, when I try to do the X factor's piece, 989 00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,920 Speaker 10: I'm always trying to highlight like non quarterbacks and non coaches, 990 00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,640 Speaker 10: and in particular, I want to answer the question, if 991 00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:43,000 Speaker 10: player X has a great season, then the team probably 992 00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:44,680 Speaker 10: had a great season. And if player X had a 993 00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:46,840 Speaker 10: bad season, then the team probably had the bad season. 994 00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:46,960 Speaker 2: Right. 995 00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:49,200 Speaker 10: I kind of want a player who who holds a 996 00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,400 Speaker 10: lot of the team's momentum, a lot of the swings 997 00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:53,839 Speaker 10: of the team in his range of outcomes. And so 998 00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:56,719 Speaker 10: oftentimes that'll be like, you know, a corner two or 999 00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:58,680 Speaker 10: a left tackle or players like that. In the case 1000 00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,080 Speaker 10: of the Bills, it's pre unique to have over two 1001 00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,680 Speaker 10: hundred and forty targets leaving the building, but that's what 1002 00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:06,480 Speaker 10: you have in Stefan Diggs leave and Gabriel Davis leaves 1003 00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:08,719 Speaker 10: via train and be a free agency, and so it 1004 00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:11,839 Speaker 10: creates a really a unique environment for Buffalo where, oh, 1005 00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,080 Speaker 10: their primary target getter is going to be the X 1006 00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:15,759 Speaker 10: factor for this team, right if they're going to kind 1007 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,960 Speaker 10: of be a spread the wealth passing attack and Curtis 1008 00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,000 Speaker 10: Samuel's gonna have one day and keyon Coleman's gonna have 1009 00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,359 Speaker 10: another day like that can work, That can be good 1010 00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:26,439 Speaker 10: for you. But we typically see postseason teams, playoff teams, 1011 00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:29,400 Speaker 10: championship teams have one guy who just doesn't get covered 1012 00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:31,319 Speaker 10: by the other guys. Ever, we typically see those teams 1013 00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:34,239 Speaker 10: have at least one dude who's a dominant pass catching threat. 1014 00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:35,800 Speaker 10: And I think when you go to find that player 1015 00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:38,760 Speaker 10: on the Bills roster, the most likely player is Kincaid. 1016 00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:40,799 Speaker 10: He did have a good rookie season. There's just some 1017 00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:43,480 Speaker 10: injury concerns, and obviously Diggs and Davis were there. But 1018 00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:45,680 Speaker 10: I think that as he gets routes further down the field, 1019 00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,040 Speaker 10: as he gets some more plays designed explicitly for him, 1020 00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:49,839 Speaker 10: I do think you can see, like you know, one 1021 00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:51,920 Speaker 10: of those thousand yard receiving seasons that we hope to 1022 00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:53,880 Speaker 10: get from early drafted tight ends. And so for that 1023 00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:55,200 Speaker 10: reason he became max factor. 1024 00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,239 Speaker 1: And if is there any credence to the fact, there 1025 00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:59,279 Speaker 1: may be with Dawson Knox already in the folding. You 1026 00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:01,680 Speaker 1: know he signed his second contract. You got two pretty 1027 00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:04,640 Speaker 1: good or at least you'd think starting caliber tight ends. 1028 00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:10,040 Speaker 1: The personnel factors, and certainly with no number one, there's 1029 00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:13,040 Speaker 1: no number one. So will he You know, is there 1030 00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,000 Speaker 1: a question that even if it goes as playing with 1031 00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:18,000 Speaker 1: the Bills, does he get enough targets? Yeah? 1032 00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:21,440 Speaker 10: So I think that because Kincaid is so clearly we like, 1033 00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:23,200 Speaker 10: can we talk about an F tight end versus a 1034 00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:25,080 Speaker 10: Y tight end. He's more of that F tight end 1035 00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:27,040 Speaker 10: gold where he's meant to line up in the slot, 1036 00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:30,000 Speaker 10: he's meant to move around across the formation. Knox obviously 1037 00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:32,280 Speaker 10: like a little bit more kind of fifty to fifty. 1038 00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,200 Speaker 10: He's gonna inherently be put in that other role. He's 1039 00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:35,840 Speaker 10: gonna be putting that hy tight end role, that in 1040 00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:38,680 Speaker 10: line role in this Bill's offense. I think because there's 1041 00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:41,160 Speaker 10: space for both of them. And when you drafted Kincaid, 1042 00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:42,719 Speaker 10: you knew you had Knox and you knew that was 1043 00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:45,120 Speaker 10: a player those on second contract that you liked. I 1044 00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:46,600 Speaker 10: think that we're gonna be able to see those guys 1045 00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:48,560 Speaker 10: play the field a lot together. I think about those 1046 00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:51,600 Speaker 10: those like late twenty tens Eagles teams. If you remember Dallas, 1047 00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:54,160 Speaker 10: Goddter and zach Ertz playing together, that they had no 1048 00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:56,040 Speaker 10: issues right get multiple tight ends on the field. They 1049 00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:58,640 Speaker 10: use zach Ertz as like a stick mover underneath. He 1050 00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:00,520 Speaker 10: was the primary target getter for that team, kind of 1051 00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:02,600 Speaker 10: similar to how Dalkin Cave has used last season. So 1052 00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:04,400 Speaker 10: I still think it's a lot of targets for Kincaid. 1053 00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:06,520 Speaker 10: Think it's very high ball. You need a crazy cash 1054 00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:08,480 Speaker 10: rate last season, he's going to move the sticks for them. 1055 00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:10,319 Speaker 10: I think if he can get a little bit more 1056 00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:12,440 Speaker 10: explosive due some of the downfield the seam running stuff 1057 00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:14,600 Speaker 10: we saw at Utah, that'll unlock that next level of 1058 00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:16,920 Speaker 10: his game. But volume wise, I'm not too concerned. I 1059 00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:17,879 Speaker 10: think it'll be there for him. 1060 00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:21,400 Speaker 2: And then as we get ready for the Cardinals, Zavon 1061 00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:26,799 Speaker 2: Collins was your choice for Arizona the outside linebacker. I 1062 00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:29,279 Speaker 2: know he just signed an extension here in the offseason. 1063 00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:33,719 Speaker 2: What appeals to you about him because their defense really 1064 00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:35,439 Speaker 2: couldn't stop anybody last year. 1065 00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:36,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1066 00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:38,560 Speaker 10: Well, for the Cardinals, it's tough because you know, I 1067 00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:41,600 Speaker 10: talked about Diggs and Gabriel Davis leaving on free agency 1068 00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:44,439 Speaker 10: and bea trade. They've had now two injuries at pass 1069 00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:47,160 Speaker 10: rusher right bj Jolari was gonna be the starting outside 1070 00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:49,400 Speaker 10: backer he goes down. I think it was an acl 1071 00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:51,480 Speaker 10: Terry's out for the season, and then Darius Robinson was 1072 00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:53,480 Speaker 10: their first round pick along the D line. He's out 1073 00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:55,040 Speaker 10: for at least the four weeks on short term. I 1074 00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:58,080 Speaker 10: are and so Xavion Collins now has the opportunity to 1075 00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:01,040 Speaker 10: in his second year as a permanent edge because previously 1076 00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:03,880 Speaker 10: was an off ball linebacker. Just last season he switched 1077 00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,560 Speaker 10: to edge rusher. Opportunity to take a step forward, generates 1078 00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:08,400 Speaker 10: some pass rush. To have Dennis Gardeck there as well, 1079 00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:11,600 Speaker 10: who's kind of your third and seven speed guy, wide 1080 00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:13,239 Speaker 10: nine off the edge player, but he's not an every 1081 00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:15,640 Speaker 10: downe player the way that Zavian Collins is. They have 1082 00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:17,920 Speaker 10: to hope that Zavin takes that step forward. Now these 1083 00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:21,239 Speaker 10: changed positions, and obviously Arizona has seen this work, right. 1084 00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,919 Speaker 10: We did this with Hasan Reddick there a few years back, 1085 00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,239 Speaker 10: and he had that spike season, he had that ten 1086 00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:28,400 Speaker 10: sax season in his final year then, and obviously it's 1087 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:30,399 Speaker 10: parlay that into a pretty good career rushing off the edge. 1088 00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:32,279 Speaker 10: And so I think Zavon, if he can take a 1089 00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,040 Speaker 10: step forward for them, gives him the pass rush that 1090 00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,120 Speaker 10: they're missing. You're absolutely right to say it, though, like 1091 00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:39,160 Speaker 10: this defense was not super talented last year, tried a 1092 00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:43,680 Speaker 10: bunch of stuff schematically got occasional stops, but generally wasn't trustworthy. 1093 00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:46,680 Speaker 10: And they've added people, they have spent money, they have 1094 00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:48,959 Speaker 10: spent draft picks, but it's still a pretty young team. 1095 00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:51,279 Speaker 10: Kind of reps are available for everybody. Is just not 1096 00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:53,239 Speaker 10: the sort of defense that scares you just yet. 1097 00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,520 Speaker 1: Sticking with the Bill centric conversation about X factors, let's 1098 00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:59,279 Speaker 1: talk stick with the AFC East the Jets twenty four 1099 00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:03,279 Speaker 1: you had the the X factor is Hassan Reddick. Is 1100 00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,560 Speaker 1: he gonna take enough snaps to be that X factor? 1101 00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:08,759 Speaker 1: I guess that's the X factor right there? Does he 1102 00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:09,440 Speaker 1: take the fil. 1103 00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:10,839 Speaker 10: When you trade for a guy to be your star 1104 00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,520 Speaker 10: and edge rusher and then he is not in the 1105 00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:16,280 Speaker 10: building in late August, he becomes the X actor? 1106 00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:16,440 Speaker 2: Right? 1107 00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:18,200 Speaker 10: Are we gonna be able to get him in hand 1108 00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:19,720 Speaker 10: or we gonna be able to get reps out of him? 1109 00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:19,920 Speaker 2: Right? 1110 00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:22,720 Speaker 10: I'm born to remember this Jets pass rush over the 1111 00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:25,240 Speaker 10: last couple of years has been so scary because of 1112 00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,920 Speaker 10: the death Right. You had Carl Lawson rushing, and then 1113 00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:30,480 Speaker 10: John Franklin Myer's rushing, and then Bryce Huff rushing, and 1114 00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:32,720 Speaker 10: then first round pick Durmaine Johnson rushing and then first 1115 00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:34,920 Speaker 10: round pick Will McDonald rushing like they just had guys 1116 00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,400 Speaker 10: on guys on guys coming off the edge. Well, they 1117 00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:40,120 Speaker 10: traded John Franklin Myers away, and Carl Lawson left the 1118 00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:43,280 Speaker 10: free agency last off season. Bryce Hoff leaves for Philadelphia 1119 00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:46,120 Speaker 10: this offseason. They have elected to become a little bit 1120 00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:49,400 Speaker 10: more thinner and more star oriented at that position, with 1121 00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:51,840 Speaker 10: Jermaine Johnson on one side and then Hassan Reddick was 1122 00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:55,160 Speaker 10: the plan on the other side. And if Reddick can't go, 1123 00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:57,480 Speaker 10: it's not gonna be I shouldn't they can't. If Reddick 1124 00:57:57,560 --> 00:58:00,000 Speaker 10: elects not to go, it's not gonna be as easy 1125 00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:02,000 Speaker 10: as it wasn't years pass for the Jets to just 1126 00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:03,560 Speaker 10: call the next man up and had that guy be 1127 00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:05,360 Speaker 10: pretty good rush in the past. No, they're finner at 1128 00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,320 Speaker 10: that position than they were. Roberts solid that that's done 1129 00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:11,200 Speaker 10: a great job consistently producing elite defense. That's hard to 1130 00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,680 Speaker 10: do in the NFL. Yet over year, we know defense 1131 00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:16,160 Speaker 10: to be a very fragial and thinicky thing. Right, ask 1132 00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:18,680 Speaker 10: Bills fans about a great Sean McDermott defense for four 1133 00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:20,080 Speaker 10: or five years and then a couple of injuries and 1134 00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:22,200 Speaker 10: all of a sudden, the walls come crashing down. Right, 1135 00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:25,960 Speaker 10: If something collapses that Jets defensive structure this year, it'll 1136 00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:28,280 Speaker 10: be the lack of depth of pass rushing, particularly Hassan 1137 00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:29,040 Speaker 10: Redik's absence. 1138 00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:32,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. Another piece to put together was on 1139 00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:37,360 Speaker 2: coaching rankings, and I kind of laughed at your preamble 1140 00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:39,440 Speaker 2: to the write up saying you may have bitten off 1141 00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:41,640 Speaker 2: more that you could chew, because there's not a lot 1142 00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:43,720 Speaker 2: of metrics to go off of to determine what is 1143 00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:46,880 Speaker 2: and what isn't good coaching or bad coaching. But you 1144 00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:50,000 Speaker 2: had the Bills checking in at number twelve, and we 1145 00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:53,200 Speaker 2: should point out that you only kind of factored in 1146 00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:57,640 Speaker 2: offense and defense here. No special teams as far as 1147 00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:01,680 Speaker 2: the coaching staffs are concerned. And I think twelve is 1148 00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:06,240 Speaker 2: a fair number for Buffalo. How did you land there 1149 00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:07,200 Speaker 2: with them? 1150 00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:10,240 Speaker 10: Yeah? I wanted to be higher because I have a 1151 00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:12,840 Speaker 10: lot of respect for Sean. I think Sean's a good coach, 1152 00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:16,720 Speaker 10: and I tend when people say, oh, teams are bad 1153 00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:18,919 Speaker 10: in the postseason. Coach about in the postseason, I tend 1154 00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:20,560 Speaker 10: to say, Okay, we don't have a big enough sample 1155 00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:22,360 Speaker 10: and you know those are one off games. And it's 1156 00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:24,480 Speaker 10: hard to say that. But with Sean having been in 1157 00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:26,320 Speaker 10: Buffalo as long as he's been, and for the AFC 1158 00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:29,640 Speaker 10: playoffs to have been as funneled between the Chiefs, Bills, 1159 00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:31,360 Speaker 10: and Bengals as it's been in kind of the last 1160 00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,520 Speaker 10: few seasons, it was tough not to dock the Bills 1161 00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:36,800 Speaker 10: a little bit for some of their postseason struggles. I 1162 00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:39,400 Speaker 10: think in particular McDermott, even going back to those Carolina 1163 00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:42,440 Speaker 10: Panthers teams, for which was the defensive coordinator, Sean likes 1164 00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:44,959 Speaker 10: to run a line them up and play defense. Sean 1165 00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:46,800 Speaker 10: likes to run a you know, we rush for and 1166 00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:48,600 Speaker 10: we dropped seven, and we play our zones. We play 1167 00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:50,560 Speaker 10: with integrity, and we're fast. We hustled the football and 1168 00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:52,560 Speaker 10: it's great. It's good coaching, it's a good system. He 1169 00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:54,920 Speaker 10: knows how to coach it well. It works. Eventually you 1170 00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,520 Speaker 10: run into a Joe Burrow, eventually run into a Patrick Mahomes. 1171 00:59:57,640 --> 00:59:59,919 Speaker 10: And what we've seen in NFL defense in the last 1172 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,120 Speaker 10: four or five years is when you run into these guys, 1173 01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:03,600 Speaker 10: you got to pitch them some change ups, you gotta 1174 01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:05,160 Speaker 10: throw some weird stuff at them. You got to get 1175 01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,000 Speaker 10: risky and change the picture and try to force them 1176 01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:09,840 Speaker 10: to hesitate, get to a third and long and McDermott 1177 01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:12,760 Speaker 10: just over his time. They're running that defense, Leslie Fraser 1178 01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:14,840 Speaker 10: being there for a long time obviously, Bobby Babbitch now 1179 01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:17,560 Speaker 10: you just haven't seen the level of creativity that has 1180 01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:20,760 Speaker 10: worked for other defensive coordinators like Bengals DC lou and Aroumo, 1181 01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:23,720 Speaker 10: like Chiefs d C Steve Spagnolo over the last few years. 1182 01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:26,160 Speaker 10: And so that hurt him, Like I wanted to get 1183 01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:27,640 Speaker 10: him higher, but like that was kind of staring me 1184 01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:29,280 Speaker 10: in the face and docked him a little bit. I 1185 01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:32,320 Speaker 10: will say during the injury riddled season last year twenty 1186 01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:34,760 Speaker 10: twenty three, you saw the Bills try a lot more 1187 01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:37,760 Speaker 10: stuff defense. They're rotating dudes and spinning safeties and gett 1188 01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:39,840 Speaker 10: a little bit nuts. I'm hoping that's a sign of 1189 01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:42,480 Speaker 10: things to come. I'm hoping with a healthy defense this year, 1190 01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:44,400 Speaker 10: that's still the intention is to be a little bit 1191 01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:47,680 Speaker 10: more aggressive defensively schematically on that side of the ball. 1192 01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:50,880 Speaker 10: So good coach, winning coach always over seats as when 1193 01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:53,880 Speaker 10: his win totals right. Undoubtedly, a great regular season coach. 1194 01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:56,160 Speaker 10: I just I need some postseason success to get him 1195 01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:56,560 Speaker 10: up in the top. 1196 01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:59,320 Speaker 2: Of Yeah, and to your point about how they did 1197 01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:03,280 Speaker 2: get more creative, partially out of necessity, you know, losing Milano, 1198 01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:06,680 Speaker 2: losing day Kwon Jones, losing Trudevius White to pretty much 1199 01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:09,560 Speaker 2: season ending injuries last year. You know, he employs the 1200 01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:12,360 Speaker 2: dime package last year with three safeties. It works well 1201 01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:17,000 Speaker 2: and mitigates the damage. I also think it's part of 1202 01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:20,560 Speaker 2: the reason he and Leslie Fraser parted ways because Leslie 1203 01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:23,480 Speaker 2: was very conservative in here we are We're gonna line 1204 01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:26,080 Speaker 2: up in nickel ninety six percent of the time, try 1205 01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:28,320 Speaker 2: and beat us. I thought some of the things that 1206 01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:31,560 Speaker 2: Shawn designed made this defense last year more of a 1207 01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:34,520 Speaker 2: splash play defense. You know, they're in the top five 1208 01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:36,520 Speaker 2: in sacks at the end of the season, they're up 1209 01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:39,200 Speaker 2: near the top in total takeaways, and I think they 1210 01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:42,160 Speaker 2: want to continue in that Vein with Bobby Babbage. 1211 01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:44,560 Speaker 10: No, I absolutely agree, And I think the splash play 1212 01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:45,400 Speaker 10: knows a really big note. 1213 01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:45,600 Speaker 2: Right. 1214 01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:47,960 Speaker 10: It kind of felt last year like, come on, this 1215 01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:49,880 Speaker 10: is the season where the pass rush finally figures it out. 1216 01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:51,080 Speaker 10: If we could use you know, we could have used 1217 01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:52,240 Speaker 10: some of these sacks. We could have used him of 1218 01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:54,840 Speaker 10: this play in seasons previous, but it was a result 1219 01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:57,440 Speaker 10: of longer time to throws. It was a result of 1220 01:01:57,480 --> 01:01:59,600 Speaker 10: more confused quarterbacks and kind of making it a little 1221 01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:01,480 Speaker 10: bit easier for that pass rush, which has always been 1222 01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:03,720 Speaker 10: a good pressure rush to start turning some of those 1223 01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:06,200 Speaker 10: pressures into sacks, sacks for the drive ending place, sacks 1224 01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:08,840 Speaker 10: for the sack o those splash plays that we're looking for. 1225 01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:12,560 Speaker 10: So yeah, I have cautious optimism about Bill's defense twenty 1226 01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:14,880 Speaker 10: twenty four. Tough to ignore the departures, right, A lot 1227 01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:16,840 Speaker 10: of veterans out the building over the last couple of years. 1228 01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:21,400 Speaker 10: Matt Mlonnel injury sucks, sucks so much, so there's you know, 1229 01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:24,160 Speaker 10: red flags. But generally I would say cautiously optimistic about 1230 01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:25,120 Speaker 10: the Bills defenses here. 1231 01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:27,960 Speaker 1: So you did take a swipe at ranking all thirty 1232 01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:30,960 Speaker 1: two coaching staffs and coordinators and all that. There is 1233 01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:35,640 Speaker 1: a kind of a dark shadow hanging over the coaching 1234 01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:38,480 Speaker 1: industry as Bill Belichick's now in the media, but it's 1235 01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:41,480 Speaker 1: been widely rumored. I mean, he could almost have his 1236 01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:44,760 Speaker 1: pick of the NFC east of which job he would 1237 01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:48,080 Speaker 1: love to take over right Philly if Sirianni can't get 1238 01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:52,600 Speaker 1: it done, Mike McCarthy. It's always a hot seat in Dallas, Washington, 1239 01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:56,480 Speaker 1: new ownership and a new hot head coach. And you 1240 01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:59,919 Speaker 1: know the New York Giants, a team he's very from. 1241 01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:03,040 Speaker 1: You're with him, very close with ownership. So what do 1242 01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:05,360 Speaker 1: you think the future holds for a seventy year old 1243 01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:06,160 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. 1244 01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,040 Speaker 10: I think he'll be back coaching next year because I 1245 01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:12,000 Speaker 10: think he wants the all time wins record, and I 1246 01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:13,800 Speaker 10: don't think he's as good of a coach as he 1247 01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:15,640 Speaker 10: was in the two thousands. I think he's still a 1248 01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:18,040 Speaker 10: pretty dog gone good one though, and I have a 1249 01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:21,000 Speaker 10: very very good Patriots defense from last season that was 1250 01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,840 Speaker 10: missing Matthew Judon, that was missing Christian Gonzales to prove 1251 01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:25,400 Speaker 10: my point, you know, I think he's still got the 1252 01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,959 Speaker 10: fastball on the defensive side now. In order for Bill 1253 01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:31,880 Speaker 10: Belichick to coach a very winning team, a playoff caliber 1254 01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:34,360 Speaker 10: team in the future, I think that he needs a 1255 01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:36,840 Speaker 10: GM who has roster control, which is something that he 1256 01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:39,840 Speaker 10: has not worked with over a long time there in 1257 01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:42,400 Speaker 10: New England, and that GM needs to be heavily involved 1258 01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:44,880 Speaker 10: in the offensive coach and the offensive coordinator search, which 1259 01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,439 Speaker 10: again is not something that Belichick has engaged with during 1260 01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:49,760 Speaker 10: his time in New England, especially recently. And so if 1261 01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:52,440 Speaker 10: Belichick goes to say the Giants, where ownership knows him 1262 01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:54,160 Speaker 10: really well and they trust him, and then there's probably 1263 01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:57,200 Speaker 10: a GM change and whatever, I imagine, it's going to 1264 01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:59,560 Speaker 10: become the Bill Belichick centric universe and he's going to 1265 01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:01,960 Speaker 10: make the choice on roster management and personal He's going 1266 01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:03,400 Speaker 10: to make the choice on coaching staff, and I think 1267 01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:05,360 Speaker 10: that'll hurt him. I think he'll win fewer games because 1268 01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:07,280 Speaker 10: of it. If he were to go to say Philadelphia, 1269 01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:09,640 Speaker 10: where Howie Roseman is the most powerful guy there, HYI 1270 01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:12,640 Speaker 10: Roseman will be running that roster no matter what. I 1271 01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:14,840 Speaker 10: think that that could be a new environment for Belichick 1272 01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:16,600 Speaker 10: in a challenging environment, but I think it would help 1273 01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:18,720 Speaker 10: him win more games faster and accordingly get that win 1274 01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:21,200 Speaker 10: record total. So this year off for Belichick is a 1275 01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:25,439 Speaker 10: very important introspection year. Right time to reflect, sit down 1276 01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:27,120 Speaker 10: and journal by a lakeside for a little bit and 1277 01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:28,760 Speaker 10: decide what does you really want to do if you're 1278 01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:30,640 Speaker 10: going to keep coaching in your seventies. What's important to 1279 01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:32,080 Speaker 10: you and what are you willing to give up to 1280 01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:34,520 Speaker 10: get there? So I'm very interested to see Belichick back 1281 01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:36,640 Speaker 10: in the ranks, which I do expect in twenty twenty five. 1282 01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:39,320 Speaker 2: That's a fantastic image you just put in my head. 1283 01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:44,120 Speaker 2: Bill Belichick journaling Lakeside. Did not expect that today, So Ben, 1284 01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:46,440 Speaker 2: thank you for that. As long as well as you're insight, 1285 01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:49,040 Speaker 2: we appreciate it.

And just because 1508 01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:03,599 Speaker 9: there's only two seeds doesn't mean we have only two 1509 01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:05,080 Speaker 9: leaders on this team. We got a bunch of guys 1510 01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:08,519 Speaker 9: that are are very deserving of wearing that.

Aside from the. 1521 01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:37,360 Speaker 9: Practice, Yeah, I mean, I think the type of practice 1522 01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:39,920 Speaker 9: that we that we have here in Buffalo.

But got a lot of really 1526 01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:52,880 Speaker 9: good work in throughout training camp and throughout the you know, 1527 01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:57,519 Speaker 9: first part of this preseason in practice. Obviously not a 1528 01:16:57,560 --> 01:17:01,120 Speaker 9: whole lot of game game time, but we're gonna We're 1529 01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:03,479 Speaker 9: gonna find out I guess on Sunday and and adjust 1530 01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:05,640 Speaker 9: as we go by. And uh again, a lot of 1531 01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:07,360 Speaker 9: a lot of confidence in these guys have been working 1532 01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:09,559 Speaker 9: their tails off, and uh, you know, we're just excited 1533 01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:11,640 Speaker 9: to play another a new opponent. 1534 01:17:13,400 --> 01:17:14,000 Speaker 2: For so. 1535 01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:19,600 Speaker 6: What do you know of theirs? 1536 01:17:21,120 --> 01:17:23,920 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, they they fly around, they are a 1537 01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:28,160 Speaker 9: high intensity, you know, pedal to the metal type of defense. 1538 01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:30,680 Speaker 9: They don't take plays off. They play extremely hard. And 1539 01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:34,240 Speaker 9: I know that their their record wasn't great last year, 1540 01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:36,639 Speaker 9: but it doesn't speak to who they are as a team. 1541 01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:39,479 Speaker 9: I think that they obviously the second year coach brings 1542 01:17:39,479 --> 01:17:42,000 Speaker 9: a lot of excitement and energy, uh to that team. 1543 01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:43,960 Speaker 9: And you know, we're gonna have our hands full come 1544 01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:47,639 Speaker 9: Sunday because you know they're they're ready to prove people 1545 01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:52,000 Speaker 9: wrong too, you know.

You know, 1550 01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:04,280 Speaker 9: we've got to be aware of wherever he's at. 1551 01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:08,000 Speaker 10: Yes, I think every year, like how you approach they've 1552 01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:08,599 Speaker 10: got set. 1553 01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:14,360 Speaker 6: And the last year lay year, how do you approach 1554 01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:16,559 Speaker 6: the why. 1555 01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:18,880 Speaker 5: What what they like? 1556 01:18:19,479 --> 01:18:22,000 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I think coach kind of hit on 1557 01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:24,960 Speaker 9: it today. You know, the first part of our week, 1558 01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:28,320 Speaker 9: it's let's study let's study them, let's understand the type 1559 01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:31,680 Speaker 9: of scheme that they run. Our game plan. But at 1560 01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:33,360 Speaker 9: the end of the day, again, like you said, we 1561 01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:35,320 Speaker 9: don't have a whole lot of film on the guys 1562 01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:36,840 Speaker 9: that are actually going to be on the field for them, 1563 01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:40,960 Speaker 9: so understanding that, but trusting and what we've been working 1564 01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:44,360 Speaker 9: on in training camp and focusing more on what we're 1565 01:18:44,360 --> 01:18:46,479 Speaker 9: doing rather than they're doing, and just trying to execute 1566 01:18:46,479 --> 01:18:49,439 Speaker 9: each play that you know we've been given and uh, 1567 01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:51,040 Speaker 9: you know, take it one play at a time. And 1568 01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:53,960 Speaker 9: obviously there's gonna be times throughout this game where you 1569 01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:55,560 Speaker 9: know we're gonna hit some turbulence, but we got to 1570 01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:57,800 Speaker 9: find a way to adjusting game and start to make 1571 01:18:57,840 --> 01:18:58,280 Speaker 9: some plays. 1572 01:18:58,840 --> 01:19:02,439 Speaker 1: It seems like there's so much dream curiosity the offense 1573 01:19:02,560 --> 01:19:07,519 Speaker 1: and like kind of perspective fan. 1574 01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:09,599 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, we got a lot of a lot 1575 01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:12,639 Speaker 9: of new guys, new faces, and just trying to trying 1576 01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:14,479 Speaker 9: to spread the wealth. I think, Uh, you know, the 1577 01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:17,080 Speaker 9: term that we've been using is everybody eats and it's 1578 01:19:17,120 --> 01:19:19,599 Speaker 9: gonna take you know, all eleven guys on the field 1579 01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:22,120 Speaker 9: at any given time to to make a play, uh 1580 01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:25,280 Speaker 9: play go. So that's that's kind of our mindset. And 1581 01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:27,920 Speaker 9: it doesn't really matter who gets the ball or when 1582 01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:31,320 Speaker 9: they get it. You know, we're gonna be happy for 1583 01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:33,479 Speaker 9: for whatever we're doing out there and just trying to 1584 01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:40,040 Speaker 9: make the best play possible that today, the perspect the team, 1585 01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:44,160 Speaker 9: your perspective, place to place, your respected. 1586 01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:44,479 Speaker 2: Of the things. 1587 01:19:45,160 --> 01:19:48,120 Speaker 9: Having the same dost for sure, you know, and I 1588 01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:51,479 Speaker 9: think every year there's a different flare to what defenses 1589 01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:54,720 Speaker 9: are trying to do throughout the league, and we're gonna 1590 01:19:54,760 --> 01:19:56,600 Speaker 9: have to make adjustments. You know. It's it's it's a 1591 01:19:56,600 --> 01:19:59,080 Speaker 9: copycat league, and once one team does something really well, 1592 01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:01,400 Speaker 9: people start to emulate that and try to work that 1593 01:20:01,439 --> 01:20:04,320 Speaker 9: into their game plan.

To understand a routine and trying to figure 1630 01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:26,800 Speaker 9: out what works for you as an individual, but at 1631 01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:29,000 Speaker 9: the same time having that that whole receiver room just 1632 01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:31,360 Speaker 9: kind of come together collectively and understand like it's it's 1633 01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:33,479 Speaker 9: go time, and make sure that we're getting into our 1634 01:21:33,479 --> 01:21:36,280 Speaker 9: playbooks and understanding the players that we're calling, and again 1635 01:21:36,320 --> 01:21:37,800 Speaker 9: just going out there and try to execute as best 1636 01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:38,240 Speaker 9: as we can. 1637 01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:40,800 Speaker 2: The last few weeks, we've heard Sean and brand and 1638 01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:43,519 Speaker 2: both talk about how they wish you guys could have 1639 01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:47,200 Speaker 2: gotten a little more playing time during the preseason. Does 1640 01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:48,400 Speaker 2: that concern you at all? 1641 01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:49,960 Speaker 10: No, not at all. 1642 01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:54,800 Speaker 9: There's some years that you know, you'd argue you played 1643 01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:57,639 Speaker 9: too much in the preseason and sometimes guys go down 1644 01:21:57,680 --> 01:22:00,200 Speaker 9: and it's unfortunate, but that happens. It's the game of football, 1645 01:22:00,880 --> 01:22:02,880 Speaker 9: and you'd be you know, punching a wall if that 1646 01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:05,960 Speaker 9: were to happen. So again, it is what it is 1647 01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:08,120 Speaker 9: at this point where we're just gearing up and getting 1648 01:22:08,120 --> 01:22:10,760 Speaker 9: ready to go, and we're gonna figure out things as 1649 01:22:10,960 --> 01:22:12,160 Speaker 9: as as we fly. 1650 01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:16,639 Speaker 6: How different is that from the past, figuring out things 1651 01:22:16,640 --> 01:22:19,040 Speaker 6: on the fly. Maybe you didn't have to do as 1652 01:22:19,120 --> 01:22:20,920 Speaker 6: much last year of the year before. 1653 01:22:20,960 --> 01:22:21,880 Speaker 3: That Is that fair? 1654 01:22:23,360 --> 01:22:25,280 Speaker 9: I mean, I think each each season is his own 1655 01:22:25,280 --> 01:22:28,400 Speaker 9: different thing, each each game for that matter, right, every 1656 01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:30,880 Speaker 9: every I feel like every game that you play in, 1657 01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:33,160 Speaker 9: it's a different type of situation and making sure that, 1658 01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:36,480 Speaker 9: you know, Coach McDermott preaches, you know, mastering these situations 1659 01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:39,519 Speaker 9: that we're in. You know, whether it's you know, trying 1660 01:22:39,520 --> 01:22:42,200 Speaker 9: to double dip, you know, deferring, and there's there's so 1661 01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:44,639 Speaker 9: many things throughout a game that can kind of tip 1662 01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:47,519 Speaker 9: the balance of the scales, and again just understanding that 1663 01:22:47,880 --> 01:22:50,520 Speaker 9: and then knowing what to do in those types of situations. 1664 01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:52,280 Speaker 9: I think Coach McDermott does a great job of getting 1665 01:22:52,320 --> 01:22:54,719 Speaker 9: us ready for that. But each game that you're in again, 1666 01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:56,519 Speaker 9: I think you find yourself in a different spot. So 1667 01:22:56,960 --> 01:22:59,200 Speaker 9: it's always figuring out on the on the fly, you know, 1668 01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:01,479 Speaker 9: whether it's the defense comes out and he's doing something 1669 01:23:01,479 --> 01:23:04,200 Speaker 9: completely different than we thought, which happens quite a bit 1670 01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:04,800 Speaker 9: against us. 1671 01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:04,960 Speaker 6: You know. 1672 01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:06,960 Speaker 9: I feel like everybody gives us their best shot and 1673 01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:10,240 Speaker 9: changes things up against us, So I wouldn't say it's 1674 01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:11,120 Speaker 9: completely new to us. 1675 01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:13,920 Speaker 6: Well, I guess I'm referring to the trust factor. I mean, 1676 01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:18,880 Speaker 6: you had years to trust some guys, You've had months 1677 01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:21,439 Speaker 6: to trust some guys. I know you trust them, but 1678 01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:26,040 Speaker 6: is that trust factor, I mean, you can't speed that 1679 01:23:26,120 --> 01:23:26,439 Speaker 6: up yet. 1680 01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:30,479 Speaker 9: You can't speed it up, but you can still put 1681 01:23:30,479 --> 01:23:33,800 Speaker 9: some blind faith in some things and again to figure 1682 01:23:33,800 --> 01:23:34,519 Speaker 9: it out as he goes. 1683 01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:37,200 Speaker 7: I know, any time we ask about an opposing quarterback, 1684 01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:39,560 Speaker 7: the caveat is you're not going directly against them, not 1685 01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:41,360 Speaker 7: on the field. At the same time, but remind me, 1686 01:23:41,400 --> 01:23:42,840 Speaker 7: how well do you know Kyler? Just kind of what 1687 01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:44,040 Speaker 7: do you think of his style of play? 1688 01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:46,320 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean Kyler can I know everyone talks about, 1689 01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:48,000 Speaker 9: you know, the speed and him getting out and be 1690 01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:50,360 Speaker 9: able to escape and make plays, but he's got an 1691 01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:52,639 Speaker 9: absolute cannon on him and he spends it really well. 1692 01:23:53,200 --> 01:23:55,040 Speaker 9: He knows where he's going with the football. He's had 1693 01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:58,320 Speaker 9: a lot of success in this league, you know, And 1694 01:23:58,600 --> 01:24:00,280 Speaker 9: I got a lot of respect for him and his game. 1695 01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:02,320 Speaker 9: Haven't spent a lot of time around him. Got to 1696 01:24:02,439 --> 01:24:05,120 Speaker 9: hang out with him actually Christian Kirch wedding over the 1697 01:24:05,120 --> 01:24:07,080 Speaker 9: off season a little bit so trying to get him 1698 01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:09,920 Speaker 9: into the game of golf. But that was a late 1699 01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:12,800 Speaker 9: night conversation, so I don't know if it went well. 1700 01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:15,479 Speaker 9: But now, again, a lot of a lot of love 1701 01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:16,679 Speaker 9: and respect for him in his game. 1702 01:24:22,160 --> 01:24:22,680 Speaker 5: Was it like to see? 1703 01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:30,920 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I think you know, he's he's worked 1704 01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:34,040 Speaker 9: extremely hard to get back to where he was and 1705 01:24:34,040 --> 01:24:37,160 Speaker 9: where he's at right now, and I think he's you know, 1706 01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:41,240 Speaker 9: it feels like in a sense, putting that behind it 1707 01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:44,479 Speaker 9: and moving forward and playing the best football that he 1708 01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:47,439 Speaker 9: can play and helping this team win. So got so 1709 01:24:47,520 --> 01:24:50,440 Speaker 9: much love and respect for him. I mean, that's unbelievable 1710 01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:53,400 Speaker 9: to do what he's done. And uh, you know, I've uh, 1711 01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:56,479 Speaker 9: you know, we've got everybody in this team and in 1712 01:24:56,560 --> 01:25:00,840 Speaker 9: the city root for him. So it's pretty pretty cool story. 1713 01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:04,800 Speaker 2: Can you describe the energy level and the change when 1714 01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:07,600 Speaker 2: you get to this spot right now today on Wednesday, No, 1715 01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:09,000 Speaker 2: and Sunday's finally coming up. 1716 01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:10,040 Speaker 10: Yeah, it's awesome. 1717 01:25:10,040 --> 01:25:12,600 Speaker 9: We get to watching football tomorrow and on Friday, so 1718 01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:17,080 Speaker 9: that's really cool. I love watching football again, finding new 1719 01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:19,640 Speaker 9: situations that those games are in, trying to play the 1720 01:25:19,680 --> 01:25:23,160 Speaker 9: little mental game of it. But yeah, it's finally here. 1721 01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:26,400 Speaker 9: Got a long eighteen week season and hopefully some more 1722 01:25:26,439 --> 01:25:29,120 Speaker 9: games after that, so we got to focus on the 1723 01:25:29,120 --> 01:25:29,720 Speaker 9: first one though. 1724 01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:32,920 Speaker 2: I guess all right, that's Josh Allen addressing the media, 1725 01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:36,120 Speaker 2: and you were interested in one of his comments there 1726 01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:39,360 Speaker 2: in terms of trying to discern what an opposing defense 1727 01:25:39,439 --> 01:25:41,760 Speaker 2: is going to do against you, particularly in week one 1728 01:25:42,439 --> 01:25:45,320 Speaker 2: when everything is quote unquote still in the bag for 1729 01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:49,679 Speaker 2: a coordinator. You couple that with the fact that most 1730 01:25:49,720 --> 01:25:53,760 Speaker 2: teams defensively play the Bills different than maybe any other 1731 01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:56,599 Speaker 2: team because Josh is a unicorn. So you couple that 1732 01:25:56,680 --> 01:25:59,519 Speaker 2: with the unknowns in week one, it could really be 1733 01:25:59,680 --> 01:26:03,080 Speaker 2: like a six hundred piece jigsaw puzzle for Josh to Yeah, 1734 01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:03,720 Speaker 2: you can't cover it. 1735 01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:06,519 Speaker 1: Figure it's difficult, it's difficult to prepare for, and it 1736 01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:09,439 Speaker 1: puts an extra burden on the offensive coaching staff and 1737 01:26:09,439 --> 01:26:11,400 Speaker 1: the defensive coaching staff to a certain extent as well, 1738 01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:13,320 Speaker 1: because they're all kind of watching it at the same time. 1739 01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:17,599 Speaker 1: It's the NFL, and most of us know. They don't 1740 01:26:17,640 --> 01:26:21,240 Speaker 1: make adjustments at halftime. They make adjustments between series certainly, 1741 01:26:21,320 --> 01:26:25,519 Speaker 1: and almost between plays. They're adjusting on the fly all 1742 01:26:25,560 --> 01:26:27,639 Speaker 1: the time as to what the they get an idea 1743 01:26:27,640 --> 01:26:30,920 Speaker 1: of the defensive philosophy of this week, it'll be the 1744 01:26:30,920 --> 01:26:33,760 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals, and they make adjustments on the fly. The 1745 01:26:33,880 --> 01:26:36,280 Speaker 1: problem is you always kind of go as the Bills 1746 01:26:36,640 --> 01:26:40,240 Speaker 1: with Josh. You always go into the game blindfolded because 1747 01:26:40,479 --> 01:26:45,759 Speaker 1: nobody defends Josh Allen the way they defend Mahomes, Lamar, 1748 01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:50,160 Speaker 1: you name it, Joe Burrow. Josh is a unicorn. He's 1749 01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:52,320 Speaker 1: a different kind of player. The Bills offense is different. 1750 01:26:52,360 --> 01:26:55,160 Speaker 1: They got it. They got some guys and they teams 1751 01:26:55,200 --> 01:26:57,720 Speaker 1: don't get away with some things they get away with 1752 01:26:57,720 --> 01:27:01,640 Speaker 1: with other guys. So you go in. They got a 1753 01:27:01,640 --> 01:27:04,800 Speaker 1: game plan they've never done before. You haven't seen it, 1754 01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:06,320 Speaker 1: you don't know what they're doing, you know what they're 1755 01:27:06,360 --> 01:27:10,439 Speaker 1: thinking all of that. So it's always a kind of 1756 01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:13,599 Speaker 1: a catch up for a team like Jo that Josh 1757 01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:18,479 Speaker 1: Allen quarterbacks for because you can't get any good film 1758 01:27:18,640 --> 01:27:21,760 Speaker 1: to watch and prepare. Yeah, and that's the way it 1759 01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:23,080 Speaker 1: is always an opening day a little bit. 1760 01:27:23,120 --> 01:27:26,800 Speaker 2: I'm just kind of thinking of quarterbacks that would be 1761 01:27:26,840 --> 01:27:32,439 Speaker 2: defended similarly to that of Josh. Probably Lamar would come 1762 01:27:32,479 --> 01:27:35,160 Speaker 2: to mind. He's not the same passer as Josh, but 1763 01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:38,040 Speaker 2: in terms of mobility, here's the thing, those kinds of plan. 1764 01:27:38,160 --> 01:27:40,680 Speaker 1: It's not just Josh either, but because Lamar, they've got 1765 01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:43,800 Speaker 1: a running game that is centered around him and now 1766 01:27:43,880 --> 01:27:47,320 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry perhaps as well Henry. Yeah, but it's a 1767 01:27:47,400 --> 01:27:50,559 Speaker 1: running offense and if he'll do enough on the throwing 1768 01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:52,320 Speaker 1: game to keep you off bounce and they got to 1769 01:27:52,360 --> 01:27:54,160 Speaker 1: tie it end. Okay, you know all that, But the 1770 01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:58,639 Speaker 1: receivers are I mean, they never had Steph Diggs over there. 1771 01:27:58,760 --> 01:28:00,880 Speaker 1: They never had even when they had OBJ, I mean, 1772 01:28:00,880 --> 01:28:03,479 Speaker 1: he was an effective kind of thing. So it's a 1773 01:28:03,520 --> 01:28:10,000 Speaker 1: different feel, you know. I just I feel for him 1774 01:28:10,040 --> 01:28:12,559 Speaker 1: because they it's something they have to deal with every 1775 01:28:12,600 --> 01:28:15,200 Speaker 1: single week going through the season. Now, certainly on opening Day, 1776 01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:17,960 Speaker 1: a lot more teams are doing that than just the Bills, 1777 01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:21,400 Speaker 1: because nobody has seen anybody unfurl their total playbook on 1778 01:28:21,439 --> 01:28:24,719 Speaker 1: either side of the ball. So but the Bill should 1779 01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:27,280 Speaker 1: be good at that by now, because that's what Josh 1780 01:28:27,320 --> 01:28:29,240 Speaker 1: and his abilities force other teams to do. 1781 01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:32,679 Speaker 2: Also, Josh effusive in his praise for his fellow captain 1782 01:28:32,760 --> 01:28:33,559 Speaker 2: to Rel Bernard. 1783 01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:34,439 Speaker 1: Last year. 1784 01:28:34,439 --> 01:28:37,920 Speaker 2: At this time, Bernard was preparing to make just his 1785 01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:41,080 Speaker 2: second start in his NFL career in Week one last 1786 01:28:41,160 --> 01:28:45,920 Speaker 2: year at New York on Monday Night Football. Now he's 1787 01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:48,519 Speaker 2: a team captain in his second year as a starter. 1788 01:28:48,640 --> 01:28:52,320 Speaker 2: That's a pretty large transformation. And I understand he's playing 1789 01:28:52,360 --> 01:28:55,120 Speaker 2: an important position, but still like he's a third year player. 1790 01:28:55,160 --> 01:28:58,839 Speaker 1: Everything we've heard about TB. They call him Torel Bernard 1791 01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:02,759 Speaker 1: has been stellar and his you know, his intelligence, ability 1792 01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:04,519 Speaker 1: to get guys lined up, and the fact that all 1793 01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:06,599 Speaker 1: of a sudden you got these old guys like day 1794 01:29:06,680 --> 01:29:09,200 Speaker 1: Kwon Jones and that Oliver and all these times are 1795 01:29:09,280 --> 01:29:11,080 Speaker 1: going he had Terrell's the guy he's really got, you 1796 01:29:11,080 --> 01:29:13,639 Speaker 1: know what I mean. They got their effusive in their 1797 01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:17,599 Speaker 1: respect for what he does for their team, and that's 1798 01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:18,200 Speaker 1: hard to do. 1799 01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:20,840 Speaker 2: I'm reminded of a scenario that I learned of later 1800 01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:23,439 Speaker 2: in week eighteen. They're down in Miami, the Bills take 1801 01:29:23,479 --> 01:29:26,120 Speaker 2: the lead. He's got to talk to his defense. McDermott 1802 01:29:26,160 --> 01:29:29,320 Speaker 2: wants to walk down to the huddle. His teammates look 1803 01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:32,400 Speaker 2: at Sean and say, TV's got it. You don't need 1804 01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:32,880 Speaker 2: to say anything. 1805 01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:34,040 Speaker 1: We're good. That's big. 1806 01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:36,840 Speaker 2: That's just a small piece baby as a leader. That's 1807 01:29:36,840 --> 01:29:38,840 Speaker 2: it for us today. We'll see you tomorrow at one 1808 01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:46,439 Speaker 2: more practice. Updates and the likes
