00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,559

13
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: out there, stevens eighty two degrees and I was thinking

14
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: it's about it's about fifteen degrees cooler than it was

15
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: last week at this time in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and

16
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: it feels like it's about thirty degrees. That's what community,

17
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: I guess it was supposed to. Yeah, and this is

18
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: supposed to be the hottest day for a while too,

19
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: and a little stretch here and the elliot warm again.

20
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: I mean, this isn't the last hot day of the summer.

21
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: But for the next couple of days after this is

22
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: going to be cooler than this. But it's great out.

23
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, so nice out. I can't. I love

24
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: this time of year. Man. We set outside again last night.

25
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: I told you, Other than we set out with some

26
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: friends last night. We sat outside again. It was just great. Yeah,

27
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't you know this time of year

28
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: there's do you get some mosquitoes at your house and

29
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: stuff out too many? We get some bat We had

30
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: bats fly through, you know, stuff, and it kind of

31
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: clear trying to take care of it. I guess, I

32
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: don't know. It was just great, you know, walking. It's

33
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: just a great time of year. Because now for you

34
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: and me, I mean, I'm not saying this is for everybody,

35
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: but we're you know, we haven't got into the grind

36
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: of the regular season yet, so we haven't got you know,

37
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: urgent things that are we're kind of waiting, you know,

38
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: the preseason guys. Games kind of take care of themselves.

39
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: We come in and we talk about, you know, what's

40
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: going on with the team and all that. But there's

41
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: not other games going on that we have to watch.

42
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: There's not you know, all the stuff, the chatter that

43
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: goes on throughout the rate, you know what I mean. Yeah,

44
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: all it's just your phone. Your phone probably good blows

45
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: up like I got alerts on and stuff that when

46
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: something happens in the NFL. I kind of like boo,

47
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: you know, I gotta look at it. None of that

48
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: goes on at these times, That's right, you're just kind

49
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: of quiet. Yeah, it is quiet, and you know there's

50
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: a I think I get what you're saying, and let

51
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: me let me present it this way. Um, in the

52
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: regular season, I have a routine that's pretty regimented. Monday,

53
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: I gotta get this Tuesday, I gotta exactly. And I'm

54
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: talking about getting ready for the game on Sunday this

55
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: time of year. First of all, the games are different days, right,

56
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: A game on Friday this week, Thursday next week their

57
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: preseason games. So I have tape of the Lions game

58
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: from I want to say it was Saturday night the

59
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: Lions at Houston. I have tape. I will look at that,

60
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: knowing full well that that game won't have a whole

61
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: lot of bearing in terms of who's playing, where they're

62
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: playing on the game that I'll do Friday night so

63
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: during the regular season, I've got three or four opponents

64
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: games that I watched pretty closely. I don't have to

65
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: do that now. So you're gonna be watching guys. You're

66
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: gonna be watching, Yeah, on the tape is the guys

67
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: you're actually gonna be seeing on the field, right, gonna

68
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: be that it's worthless? Yeah, Well, I'll look at it

69
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: and see. I want to get it, but you know

70
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: how it isn't You start to get you know, general storylines,

71
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: You start to pick up on what the story of

72
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: the team is, so you can kind of touch on

73
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: all of that. Even even in the preseason. The broadcasts

74
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 1: are different because for us on the TV side, and

75
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: Andrew and I aren't even gonna be working this week.

76
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: For us on the TV side, it's all Buffalo Bills

77
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,559
Speaker 1: all the time. On our broadcast. It's the home TV broadcast,

78
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: so Bills fans listen to us. Well, we'll mention hey,

79
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, like back in the day, like Chris Spielman

80
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: made the tackle for the Lions, and then you start

81
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: talking about the guy who he tackled. You don't even

82
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: talk about Chris Spielman and all the stuff he's you

83
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: know what I mean, you don't talk about any of

84
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: the other teams players or their stories. You might just

85
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: touch on him briefly, but it's all about your team.

86
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: So the film study and the preparation you do for

87
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: the opponent is completely different. Yep, completely different. I gotta

88
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: say this too. And I spent time I did my

89
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: Lions board last night, and then I watched the second

90
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: half of Bills at Carolina and here comes a compliment

91
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: your way, and Andrew and that Brown. You guys do

92
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: it and not just you, Joe Pinner, in the whole crew.

93
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: It's a great broadcast to watch. Yea. I did Bills

94
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: preseason TV years ago, and I'm talking fifteen years ago,

95
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: and we were nowhere near how good a broadcast you

96
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: guys have right now. And it is totally If you're

97
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: a Bills fan and you tuned into some of these

98
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: roster battles, that show is for you, and you guys

99
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: do it that way. It was really good. I gotta

100
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: tell you, the whole crew, not just you, you were solid.

101
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: But I worked Andrew. Listen Andrews Andrew for a network guy.

102
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: He knows the issues on the Bills roster in detail.

103
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: I mean, he really does he's paying attention. Yeah, he's

104
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: really good. He has always been that way. You know.

105
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,679
Speaker 1: I did Andrew's first ever NFL game years ago. CBS

106
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: gave him a shot. You know, they had a weekend

107
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: where they had an open they want to get and

108
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: I was his guy. So he came in and we

109
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: did the game. He was from the get go. He

110
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: was just like he not just like he's even better now.

111
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: But you know, he sprinkles in a huge amount of

112
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: information between plays. He says, talk about this, got a

113
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: note on this guy, got a note on that guy.

114
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: It just keeps the thing flowing really well. He makes it,

115
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: you know, and you know what how important it is

116
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: when something happens you gotta be you know, in a

117
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: big play, when the when the Christian Wade play happens,

118
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: you hey, you got to jump up and jump in

119
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: on it and show some enthusiasm. You know, you gotta

120
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: rise in the occasion. He does a great job with that,

121
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: and the Bills are lucky to have him on the broadcast.

122
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: He's really topping. You did something. You talked about it

123
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: yesterday and I heard it yesterday. I watched second I

124
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: watched first half Sunday morning, Second half last night. You

125
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: talked yesterday about Duke Williams becoming an important factor in

126
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: the in the run game as a blocker, and you

127
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: mentioned it during the broadcast that I watched last night

128
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: second half and I saw it, and you saw that,

129
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: which is really your job to see stuff away from

130
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: where the ball's going. But it was really good, really

131
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: solid point, and you can see how physical Duke Williams

132
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: was attempting to be and succeeding most of the time

133
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: in the run game. Yeah. He You know who he

134
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: reminds me of is Eric Molds. Eric Molds was a

135
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: tremendous gifted athlete and a great wide receiver, but he

136
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: had an attitude of he was in a street fight

137
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,239
Speaker 1: out there. He was not He was not giving other bills.

138
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: He was not like a Lee Evans, who was a

139
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: quiet kind of guy who would walked through. Eric Moles

140
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: was slap guy in the face. You know. He was

141
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: that kind of guy and it gave the whole group

142
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: and edge Ke. Duke Williams reminds me of that. I'm

143
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: not saying he's Eric Moulds and all that. I'm just

144
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: saying that's his game. Like Eric, he's a big physical

145
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: guy who goes up and wins ball that touchdown pass

146
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: that he caught the MSG guys people are watching right now. Yeah,

147
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: he's he gives you a different kind of player, and

148
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: he's he's a a guy that you put in the

149
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: toolbox that is gives you something nobody else does. And

150
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: I don't know whether he'll be good enough or consistent

151
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: enough to make this squad because of the competition at

152
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: the position, but he is one of a kind I

153
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: think in that room. Yeah, absolutely, one of the only

154
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: big physical receivers they have. All Right, So the broadcast

155
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: was good and I actually texted your sideline guy, Ed

156
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: Brown last night, told him, great job. He doesn't job.

157
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: The old broadcast is good. You touch on Duke Williams

158
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: and he takes us to kind of our Twitter poll. Today. Well,

159
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: let me give you the lineup. But what's coming up

160
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: on the show. Moments from now, We're going to go

161
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: out to the practice field the Bills on the grass

162
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: practice field outside the ad Pro Sports Training Center again today.

163
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: They're doing practice this week as if it were a

164
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: regular season. And we talked with our guests yesterday Bam

165
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: Johnson about this about how you know today would be

166
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: like a typical Thursday. Tomorrow will be a typical Friday

167
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: routine for the Bills in terms of when they meet,

168
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: how they practice, what their focus is. And then you

169
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: get to Thursday, that's like a typical Saturday travel day

170
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: for the team. They're you know, they're just again, this

171
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: is what McDermott does. He does it well. He creates

172
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: scenarios that mimic what goes on in the regular season,

173
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: to the point where even at the home game a

174
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, you know, this is what time

175
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: you arrive, this is where you park, this is what

176
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: you do. He's doing that this week with a week schedule,

177
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: kind of mimicking the regular season practice schedule, and they're

178
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: they're on their Thursday type schedule today. And I'll tell

179
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: you this too, this will be a different vibe in

180
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: the locker room, in the meeting rooms too, because they'll give,

181
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: not to the extent they would in a regular season,

182
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: but they're gonna start looking at the Lions say here's

183
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do that, and they'll start installing it.

184
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: And I don't know, we don't know this at all,

185
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: but we anticipate the ones. Josh Allen Lashawn McCoy, Frank Gore.

186
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: They're going on all the way through the first half

187
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: and into the second half. So all these guys like

188
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: ray Y McCloud and David Sills and all you know, Duke,

189
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: Darryl Johnson, all these young rookies, they're gonna sit back

190
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: and they're gonna get They're not gonna get coached this week.

191
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: It's the ones who are getting coached. They're gonna watch

192
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 1: these guys go through it. They're gonna say, Okay, the

193
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: ones are gonna and now here's what you're gonna do.

194
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: And they're gonna they're gonna see what it means when

195
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: the stakes are a little higher, when all right, sit

196
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: there and be quiet, because I'm talking to the ones.

197
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: Now you know what I'm saying. They're not they're not

198
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: in included in all this stuff. Now they're included. They're

199
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: gonna be in the room and they'll be they're gonna

200
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: be coached. But the ones, they're gonna be engaged at

201
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: a higher level this week as they get to this game.

202
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a little different vibe, I think, and

203
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 1: that's gonna be something these guys, the guys who have

204
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: been kind of in the middle of it. They're gonna

205
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: play a lot this week, you know, not this week.

206
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: So today in the show one o'clock, Dan Orlovski, former

207
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback, he now with ESPN. He had a really

208
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: good piece about just a short tweet about Josh Allen's

209
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: decision making. We'll talk on him about that, and after

210
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: practice we'll hear from a Tremaine Edmonds Bills linebacker, We'll

211
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: hear from who else is at the podium, whoever it is,

212
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: and Bills fullback Pat de Marco joins us. But right now,

213
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: let's go out to practice. Chris Brown, Bills inside of

214
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills dot Com standing by in the sunshine outside

215
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: the ad Pro Sports Training Center where the Bills they're

216
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: practicing today getting ready for the game on Friday. Hello, Chris,

217
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us here today. How are we doing.

218
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: We're doing great, doing good good. I got one question

219
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: for you to start with. How's Mitch Morse to him?

220
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: What do you see out there? Offensive line? He doesn't

221
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: have a red jersey on, a white jersey on, so

222
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: it looks like he may have cleared concussion protocol. So

223
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: we'll have to see just what level of participation he

224
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: has when we get lined up here. Obviously we're not

225
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: going to be privy to team segments of practice, but

226
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: that red jersey has gone, so that's good news. On

227
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: the other side of the coin, however, I see Jason

228
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: Krum not dressed for practice today, so we should hope

229
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: against hope that he has not had a recurrence of

230
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: that hamstring injury. And it looks like Cole Beasley is

231
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: not participating today, So addition and subtraction, but Mitch Morse

232
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: in a white jersey is certainly a good thing. But yeah,

233
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: the addition of Mitch Morse kind of from that outweighs

234
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: everything else. You told me, Chris, that's the best news

235
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: I've heard about that offensive line in about three weeks.

236
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 1: That's right. So hopefully he's participating in the team segments

237
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: when we get to that, and then obviously we'll have

238
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: to see how that filters down because we've talked about

239
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: this domino effect that could take place. Knowing that players

240
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: like John Feliciano and Spencer Long have been manning that

241
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 1: center position in the absence of Mitch Morse and Russ

242
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: Bodine for that matter, and Bodin also back in a

243
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: white jersey. We'll have to see where he comes down,

244
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: because he missed two valuable weeks, and I think a

245
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 1: couple of people have certainly leap frogged him since then,

246
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: in the form of Feliciano and Long So does do

247
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: one of those guys go to guard? Does somebody kick

248
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: out to tackle? You know what exactly happens? What's the

249
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: domino effect is going to certainly bear some watching here

250
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: this week. And Chris, you've anticipated my next question about this,

251
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: the if in fact Morse is added to the first

252
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: unit offensive line center, things begin to take shape along

253
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: the offensive line and all those other positions, right. I mean,

254
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: you would think at least we can get kind of

255
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: a better sense of where they're going, right, Yeah, except

256
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: we have to see and I haven't been able to

257
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: determine yet whether or not tie and Secki is dressed

258
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: today because I only got out here three or four

259
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: minutes myself. They're running, you know, walk through offense and defense,

260
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: and they don't want eyeballs privy to that. So I

261
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: only got out here for about two or three minutes

262
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: before I came on with you guys. I do not

263
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: see Insecki right now, but a lot of times, even

264
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: the guys that are not participating in practice do participate

265
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: in stretch because if Inseci is still out of the mix,

266
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if we get the complete picture of

267
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: what the coaching staff on the offensive side of the

268
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: ball would prefer in terms of a starting five, because

269
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: if Inseci is not part of the equation, we're left

270
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: wondering is he the right tackle? And as Cody Ford

271
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: the right guard. With him out of the equation, you

272
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: anticipate Ford will be a tackle and then it's either

273
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: long or Feliciano, you know, Quentin Spain. Obviously. Now, yesterday

274
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: I mentioned you know we saw the guards flip, So

275
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: will that continue to happen today? It all remains to

276
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: be seen. We'll see if we can get a peak

277
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: at it. Maybe an individual position drill. Sometimes they line

278
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: up the front five, but if coach Johnson has them

279
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: going through specific techniques, we're only going to see one

280
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: on ones over here and we won't get a handle

281
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: as to what that starting line could look like this weekend. Yeah,

282
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: there may be light at the end of the tunnel,

283
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: but right is up until today without Mitch Morrison there,

284
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: we don't even know how they've evaluated the guards and

285
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: centers and all the guys that have been flip flowed.

286
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: We don't even know what they think about these guys

287
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: because they've continued to change him up. One of the

288
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: things I want to ask you about it is on

289
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: the camera shot we just saw Dawson Knox isn't also

290
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: not in a red jersey well right, And he participated yesterday,

291
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: so this is his second day of doing practice. Now.

292
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: We didn't get any time with Coach McDermott yesterday or

293
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: this morning, and he's not scheduled to speak again until tomorrow,

294
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: so we may not get a full report on just

295
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: the amount of participation that Dawson Knox is doing. We'll

296
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: try to get a hold of him maybe coming off

297
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: the practice field today, to get it straight from the

298
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: horse's mouth, to see if he's full go or if

299
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: he is in fact still limited. And as I mentioned yesterday,

300
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: knowing he was behind Jason Crum in the recovery aspect

301
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: of coming back from those hamstring injuries, my anticipation anyway

302
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 1: is that he would be limited. I don't think they

303
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: want to throw him right back into full practice here

304
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: coming back from what turned out to be a two

305
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: or three week injury, and I can't tell. You're just

306
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: seeing the guys break off into position groups. Now Tie

307
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: and Seki is in pads. So hopefully we get a

308
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: full look as to what the front five could be

309
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: for the first group, knowing most of the important players

310
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: in the equation or at least participating here in the

311
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: early stages of practice. And this is a full pads practice, guys,

312
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: so seeing all of those guys in full pads is

313
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: certainly an encouraging sign. Chris Brown, Bills Insider Buffalo Bills

314
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: dot Com on the practice field outside the ad Pro

315
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: Sports Training Center where the Bills are in stretch in

316
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: individual work getting set for this practice. You asked the

317
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: question I believe today Chris of Leslie Frazier about this week.

318
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: It's a little different week. As Sean McDermot apparently tries

319
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: to replicate what a practice week in the regular season

320
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: will look like, and McDermott does a lot of it.

321
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: That appears to be how they're practicing this week. Well, yeah,

322
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: I mean, as far as they're concerned, training camp closed

323
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: last week with the Panthers, and so now they're into

324
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: regular seasons schedule type stuff with the practice week. So

325
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: knowing the game is on Friday, this day of practice

326
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: I would assume is like Thursday, Yeah, which is the

327
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: only padded practice of the week. So in a regular

328
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: game week with a game on Sunday, your big pad

329
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: day is Thursday. We've obviously pushed that back two days

330
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: with the game being on Friday. So this is your

331
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: padded Thursday type practice here on Tuesday. What happens with

332
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: the wide receivers and their rotation with Beasley out, who

333
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: takes the slot, who moves up? Yeah? I mean I

334
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: think what we're gonna probably be looking at our players

335
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: like Isaiah McKenzie and ray Ray McLeod stepping in there.

336
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: And then behind them is Nick Easley, the undrafted rookie

337
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: out of Iowa who's kind of a sneaky route runner. Steve,

338
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: I know you and I have talked about him a

339
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: little bit. He flashed a little in Carolina last week

340
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: with some nice route routes that he ran. So those

341
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: are probably your three primary players in there. I will

342
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: tell you this though, just in talking to some of

343
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: the revers the last couple of days, and then even

344
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Brian Dable yesterday, Zay Jones is a guy

345
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: that has to know all the positions across the board.

346
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: He's a guy that has some of the greatest experience

347
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: in this offense under Dable, and they've tasked him with

348
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: learning every single receiver position, all the ins and outs,

349
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: all the route assignments, etc. Etc. So it'd be interesting

350
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: to see if he gets any work in there as well.

351
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: But my thinking is they're trying to come down on

352
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: a decision as to who is better Isaiah McKenzie or

353
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: Ray Ray McLoud since both of them do a lot

354
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: of the same things within the scope of this offense,

355
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: and with this kind of situation with Beasley out, I

356
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: think it's an opportunity to get those two guys a

357
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: ton of reps with the Ones and see if someone separates.

358
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: Chris talking about the receivers, and maybe when we get to,

359
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: you know, the roster, we're talking about the maybe the

360
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: fifth receiver spot, maybe the sixth even you made a

361
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: good point last week that I saw come to fruition

362
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: in the game last Friday night about how guy like

363
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: Ray Ray McLeod has to make his mark on special

364
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: teams and not necessarily as a return man, And in fact,

365
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: he made he made a tackle at least one in

366
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: kick coverage punt coverage last week. That could be the

367
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: type of thing that they're asking and looking for Ray

368
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,239
Speaker 1: Ray McLoud to do if they want him to be

369
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: the final ride receiver on the roster. Huh, that's right, Yeah,

370
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: I mean, as I mentioned on the show last week,

371
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: he now has an added role of gunner on the

372
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: punt team and he's been a pretty effective one at

373
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: least by all accounts. And we'll have a chance to

374
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 1: ask coach Farwell about it today to maybe get a

375
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 1: sense as to the level of progress that McLeod has

376
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 1: made in that role. Because you have an entrenched return

377
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: man in Andre Roberts. So yeah, that's great that you

378
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: can return Ray Ray, but we got a pro bowler here,

379
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: so you're probably not going to be doing a lot

380
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: of that. What else can you do for us on

381
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: special teams? So the way he has taken to the

382
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 1: gunner role and then making a play last week against

383
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: Carolina where the guy caught it and he hit him

384
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 1: shortly thereafter to make the tackle and allow zero yards

385
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: on a turn is certainly an encouraging sign for this

386
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: coaching staff where they'll sit there and say, you know

387
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: what he can do that, you know, but then you

388
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: have Isaiah McKenzie who's kind of the same type of

389
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,479
Speaker 1: body frame, and he is not being asked to do

390
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: that right now. Now. The other area where I know

391
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: they're looking at receivers in a big way is in

392
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: the blocking area. And people say, well, why is a

393
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: guy like Andre Roberts, you know, who's going to be

394
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 1: a return man first? Why is he getting first team reps? Well,

395
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 1: not only is he making plays as a receiver, catching

396
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: the football and getting open consistently, he's probably one of

397
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 1: the best blocking receivers in the run game that they

398
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: have on this roster. So I mean, that guy was

399
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: probably going to be here anyway as a return man,

400
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 1: but these other things that he is showing he is

401
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: capable of offering are only bonuses. As far as this

402
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: offensive staff sees it. I think Andre Roberts is going

403
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: to be on the field on offense this year. We

404
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: were just talking before we came to you, Brownie, about

405
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: Duke Williams and how well he played on Friday night,

406
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: not only catching the touchdown, passing a couple of crossing

407
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: routes across the middle, but he also blocked extremely well.

408
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: I thought he blocked really well in the run game.

409
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: That has got to really help his cause. Not only

410
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: did he catch the passes, but he was really a

411
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: factor in the run game. Yeah, and that's the thing

412
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: that we talk about guys in terms of with that

413
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: sixth receiver spot, what do you want? Do you feel

414
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: you have enough depth at the slot? So if Cole

415
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: goes down, you have somebody who can plug in to

416
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: play effectively there for Josh with those short to underneath routes,

417
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: a guy that can be trusted if, if god forbid,

418
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: Beasley goes down with an injury and has to sit

419
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. If you don't, then you may

420
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: have to look at a guy like Isaiah mackenzie or

421
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: Ray Ray McLeod. If you feel you have someone on

422
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: your roster that can execute in there for you from

423
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: a depth perspective, well then maybe you do turn to

424
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: size and know that if you're going to be running

425
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff to the outside parts of the

426
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: field in terms of your run game or your swing

427
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: pass game, or whatever it might be, you might want

428
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: the bigger body out there to lay the lumber, you know,

429
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: on a defensive back or a safety coming up and

430
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: run support to get a block down field so your

431
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: ball carrier can get those extra yards, and maybe you

432
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: lean towards a guy like Duke Williams. So these are

433
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: the decisions people say, Well, what decisions still have to

434
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: be made this late in the game. These are the

435
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: kinds of decisions that have to be made. Yeah, And

436
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 1: I'm that point, Chris. I would just I have to

437
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: check myself every once in a while. I think about

438
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: listeners to our show driving around, thinking are these guys

439
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: really spending that much time talking about the sixth wide receiver?

440
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: And it's a good point. Here's the important point. I

441
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: think about the wide receiving corps. No matter who's going

442
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: to be number five, number six, we I think you'd

443
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: agree they have dramatically upgraded the wide receiving core from

444
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: where they were a year ago. And yes, it starts

445
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: right at the top with John Brown and Cole Beasley correct, incorrect?

446
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 1: What do you think? No? I would agree with that,

447
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 1: And you know, I think people can make as many

448
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 1: arguments as they want, you know, from the time the

449
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: sun comes up till the time it goes down as

450
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: to whether this team has a true number one wide receiver,

451
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: and I would even debate that. I don't know that

452
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: you have that kind of a player that you're gonna

453
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: target twelve times a week, but they do have one a's,

454
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: one b'es. If you will, maybe you have. Some people

455
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: might characterize it as a collection of twos and threes.

456
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: There are teams in this league that have had very

457
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: effective passing games with a collection of twos and threes,

458
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: so it's not like it has not been done in

459
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: this league before. So it's going to be interesting to

460
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: see this approach. I think the Bills made a concerted

461
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: effort to upgrade the wide receiving corps, but maybe not

462
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: necessarily break the bank and overspend on one player. I

463
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: think they chose to spend judiciously on a couple of players,

464
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: namely Beasley and Brown, the most notable in that group,

465
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: and then Andre Roberts has been somewhat of a bonus

466
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: at the receiver position as well, maybe offering them more

467
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 1: than they initially anticipated. So I think it's a it's

468
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 1: a good thing that they've upgraded the position. I think

469
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: they've gotten some bonus talent in the form of Roberts,

470
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: and then if you add d Zay Jones and Robert

471
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: Foster who have been here along with whoever that wild

472
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: card might be for the sixth spot. Yeah, you've you've

473
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: unquestionably upgraded. I think one of the things as well,

474
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: I think when they got those guys John Brown, I

475
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: think when they got Cole Beasley, and I think Zay

476
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: Jones as well. And of course now with Andre Roberts

477
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: playing as well as he did, I think they expected

478
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley and John Brown to come in and at

479
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: least play as well or maybe even better than they

480
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: did in the offense as they left, particularly John Brown

481
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 1: and Cole Beasley, because John Brown in the second half

482
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: of last year, they didn't throw the football to him,

483
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: you know, they didn't throw the football to anybody in Baltimore.

484
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: And of course Cole Beasley, that offense was centered around

485
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott, and even he said, listen, this is an

486
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: offense that's going to be centered around more. I think

487
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: I think Beasley and John Brown both have reason to

488
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 1: believe they're gonna upgrade their production from a year ago

489
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: in this offense rather than being stuck in an offense

490
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 1: that's focused elsewhere, right, they'll be primary targets not secondary

491
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: and tertiary targets. Yeah, I would with that, and I

492
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: would also say that what you have in terms of

493
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 1: this offense is one that now has talent at the

494
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: receiver position that can win more consistently against press coverage

495
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: man coverage. There were times where the two, three and

496
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: four receivers on this roster last year could not win

497
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: consistently enough against man coverage. And I think John Brown

498
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: and Cole Beasley effectively they if they upgrade this receiving

499
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: corps anywhere, it might be in that area of the

500
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: game more than anywhere else, getting open against man coverage,

501
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: press coverage. Chris, before we leave the offense, just back

502
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: to tight ends for a moment. And I know you said,

503
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: Crewm you have not seen and of course Tyler Croft

504
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: has not been around, but even the addition of Dawson Knox,

505
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be interesting to see this

506
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: week and especially Friday night, how the snaps are parceled

507
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: out between Quite frankly, the two draft picks, Tommy Sweeney,

508
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: the seventh rounder who's had good moments in two games,

509
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: and the third rounder Dawson Knox, who gets first shot.

510
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: I would think they want to get Friday night, a

511
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,959
Speaker 1: good look at Dawson Knox, knowing and seeing what they

512
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: have already from Tommy Sweeney. Uh well yeah, but I

513
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: think you also got to be careful there. You know,

514
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: Knox missed the better part of three weeks, and do

515
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: you want to throw him right back into a game

516
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 1: when these are his first two practices of the week.

517
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be predicated on how he

518
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: comes through this week with his workload, what they want

519
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: to give him, because the last thing you want right

520
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: now is a recurrence of a hamstring injury. Because now

521
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: if you thrust him back into a game setting where

522
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: the intensity is ratcheted up considerably and you you know,

523
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: he stoins that thing again, now you're running the risk

524
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: of him not being available week one because you're getting

525
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: precariously close to the start of the regular season. Here

526
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 1: nineteen days away. You know the preseason game is Friday,

527
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 1: what are you sixteen days away? So now you're a

528
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: little over two weeks. He strikes that hamstring again, he's

529
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: not playing Week one. He's out of the mix. So

530
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be very careful and how they

531
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: handle him. Maybe he gets a handful of reps. Uh,

532
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: maybe similar to what we saw with with Captain Munterlin

533
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: last week, playing in the slot for only about a

534
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: series maybe two. H I don't I'm not anticipating a

535
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: full workload for Dawson Knox coming off the injury that

536
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: he's coming off of. Well, certainly you may not get

537
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: your wishmur if. I'm sorry, right, We certainly don't want

538
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: anybody to strink anything. So um, let's right, let's flip

539
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: it over. What about the defense? Is there anything significant

540
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: to talk about with the rotation the defensive line? Um?

541
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: I mean, we had Darryl Johnson on the show yesterday.

542
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: He's been I think the most productive player on the

543
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: defensive front over the last two weeks, in the last

544
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: two games. Does that change anything in that rotation at

545
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: this point? Well, I think you've you've zeroed in on

546
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: the stiffest competition right now, and that's for the fourth

547
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 1: defensive end spot. You know, we know about the strides

548
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: that Mike Love Is made to his game coming back

549
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: here to Buffalo for his second season, in terms of

550
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 1: putting on lean muscle mass, improving his countermove. Arsenal I

551
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: was talking to him at length back of training camp

552
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: at Saint John Fisher, and I talked to him about countermoves.

553
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: You know, you have to have answers with how good

554
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 1: the offensive tackles are in this league. And I said,

555
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: I don't need to know what the moves are, but

556
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 1: how many counters do you feel comfortable with that you

557
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: may unveil at some point in time? And he said, yeah,

558
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: when we get to the games. He goes, I've got

559
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: two counter moves that I've really been working on that

560
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: I feel good about that I want to put into action.

561
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: He knows what he's up against here, but it's him

562
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 1: and Darryl Johnson. And then I think Eddie Yarborough is

563
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 1: nipping at their heels all for that fourth defensive end spot,

564
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: which is not unlike the sixth wide receiver spot. You've

565
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: got three quality players who are gunning for that fourth

566
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: defensive end spot. Because I don't know if we can

567
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: assume that they're going to keep five defensive ends. They

568
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: may they may keep nine defensive lineman total, in which

569
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: case I think they keep the extra pass rusher and

570
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: only go with four dts, especially knowing that in some

571
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: of their pass rush packages they kick shock down inside anyway,

572
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be interesting to see what the numbers

573
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: decision is that that that goes on there at defensive end.

574
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: Are they only keeping four or are they keeping five?

575
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: Because you've got those three guys in the mix for

576
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 1: that last one maybe two spots. Here's my question, which

577
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: one of those guys plays better on special teams? Do

578
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: you know that yet? Right? Well, I haven't. I have

579
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: to say Mike Love is on more of them, so

580
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: you know you would say, well, do you give him

581
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: the edge? Then? I think I think that's where as

582
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: encouraging as Daryl Johnson's play has been at the defensive

583
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: end spot, it wouldn't hurt if he showed up in

584
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: the special team's portion of the game as well. And

585
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: he's been out there for kick return a couple other things,

586
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: you know, as the upman. So we'll have to see

587
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: where he is utilized this week. Knowing the starters are

588
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: getting the bulk of the work, this is when you

589
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: see some of those second and in third teamers get

590
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: pushed up to some of those primary special teams units

591
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: to see what they can handle. Because as much as

592
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: it is the dress rehearsal for the starters on offense

593
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: and defense. It's a chance for coach Farwell to maybe

594
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: lift some of those younger players up to a primary

595
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: role on special teams to see what they can handle. Ronnie,

596
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: I got more questions for you, But are you good

597
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: to go or you gotta shut down now out there?

598
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: What's going on? I think we're still an individual right now,

599
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: so you're okay, okay, question for you about the back

600
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: end of the defense. We did not see much of

601
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 1: Captain Munterlin last week last Friday night. I anticipate we'll

602
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: see more of him this week after he gets a

603
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: week and a half forward the practice in Urine. Yeah,

604
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: And I think that that was the main reason, because

605
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: I talked to coach Frasier last week about what we

606
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: should should expect from Munerlin going into that carolinea preseason game,

607
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,239
Speaker 1: and he said, we're gonna get him in there and

608
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: get him a handful of reps. And that's exactly what

609
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: he saw. And I think they didn't want to push

610
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: him too far because there is a difference between work

611
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: and with your personal trainer all offseason and being in

612
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: good cardiovascular shape, and then there's being in good football shape.

613
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: They are two very different things, and I think the

614
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: coaching staff and the athletic training staff recognize that and said, oh,

615
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:14,719
Speaker 1: you know, as much as you want to see this

616
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: guy and see what he can offer you, you're gonna

617
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: have to take this in a methodical type of approach

618
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: to see what you can and cannot do with him

619
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: in the Nickel And really he's the insurance plan at

620
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: Nickel quite frankly so, ran Neil has made some nice

621
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: strides in adapting to that position. I don't know if

622
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: they're ready to trust him yet, should God forbid Terren

623
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: Johnson go down for two or three weeks with an injury.

624
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: I think Munrolin is the insurance plan there now. They

625
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: just have to be convinced that he can still get

626
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: the job done in there. And I would anticipate we're

627
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: going to see more of him this week, certainly than

628
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: we did last week. Are they gonna keep what do

629
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: you think they keep? Eight defensive backs? Seven, eight, nine?

630
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: I think there's a chance you see ten. You're gonna

631
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: I have at least five corners. And then the question

632
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: becomes what do you need at Nickel in terms of

633
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: insurance and surrand Neil's kind of a wild card he's

634
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: a guy that plays a ton on special teams and

635
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: does it really well. He's a good blitzer. And there's

636
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: a big nickel package here that we can't ignore either

637
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: where Sirrand Neil is on the field, much like Raphael

638
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: Bush was last year. So there are there are some

639
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: varying things that I think this coaching staff has to

640
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: decide upon, like, Okay, we have this big nickel package,

641
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: Well how much do we use it every week? You know,

642
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: is Surrand Neil gonna be an inactive who's our sixth

643
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: corner of fifth safety? Or is he a guy that

644
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna have up every week because of special teams

645
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: and because of the frequency with which we feel we're

646
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: gonna play a big nickel package. So these are all

647
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: the decisions that have to be weighed in. And now

648
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: we're talking week to week game plan type stuff that

649
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: impacts what players we should and should not keep. Who's

650
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: gonna be up, who's gonna be down every week? If healthy?

651
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: So you know, people think this is an egy, it's ah,

652
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: here's the fifty three. Let's just go with those guys.

653
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: They go in depth with this stuff with a fine

654
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: tooth comb, And those are some of the decisions that

655
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: are gonna have to be made, But I think nine

656
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: or ten are probably what you're looking at. You know,

657
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: at defensive back. Venner and Kurt Coleman did not play

658
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: last Friday night in Carolina, but I would think he

659
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,239
Speaker 1: right factors into the equation. I can see him out

660
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: there now. He factors into Big Nickel or even well

661
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: he's on the roster. He's on the roster. Yeah, I'd

662
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: be shocked. I'd be shocked if he's not on the roster,

663
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: Absolutely stunned. I think he's a better third safety for

664
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: this team than even Raphael Bush was, just because of

665
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: his playmaking ability and his in depth knowledge of this defense.

666
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: He is. He is a lock. I mean, you can

667
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: put him down in pen As far as I'm concerned

668
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: with the fifty three man roster, I think when you

669
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: get down to Munerlin Saran Neil, there are different kinds

670
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: of conversations that need to be had about those guys

671
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: as it pertains to game plan, as it pertains to

672
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,719
Speaker 1: special teams. So those conversations are a little more tricky

673
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: than the one you have with Kurt Coleman, Micah Hyde

674
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: or Jodan Poter Get hurt, Kurt Coleman's on the field,

675
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: and just by that alone, I think he's on this roster. One.

676
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: Does that mean they keep five safeties or does Dean

677
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: Morlow Jikwan john I think it's I don't I hate

678
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: to say, and I don't think Dean Marlow's on this roster.

679
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,959
Speaker 1: I think Jaquan Johnson could be on this roster. They

680
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: really like him and his instincts. But again, we get

681
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: into the sub package issues, we get into the special

682
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: teams utilization issues and who is more valuable. And this

683
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: is where guys, and we say it all the time,

684
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: the more you can do makes you more valuable. If

685
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: you're on that back end of the roster, you guys

686
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: want to keep everybody. And there's eleven days left until

687
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: the cutdown on August thirty first, and they're gonna be

688
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: some good players released here. We know that that's indicative

689
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: of where this froster is and how far ahead they

690
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: are from where they were a year ago. Chris, I

691
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: believe they're gonna have players that play on other rosters

692
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: in this league this year. I mean you're gonna get

693
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: to Week four or five and you're like, holy cow,

694
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: they got so and so he was he was with

695
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: us in training camp. Wow, he's you know, he's the

696
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: nickel corner or whatever. You know what I mean. So,

697
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna have some of that this year.

698
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: You're gonna have some of that before we let you go.

699
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: We talked about this at the end of our show yesterday,

700
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: and I believe we're on the right track here, Christian Wade.

701
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: They do not have to expose him to waivers to

702
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: make him the eleventh practice squad player, right, Is that correct?

703
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. I think you do. You

704
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: have to expose everyone to waivers when you release them.

705
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: So I think he would go through the twenty four

706
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: hour waiver window. Yes, that's not what we were talking about.

707
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: That's not what we read and heard yesterday. But can

708
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: you do me favorite asset? Okay, I didn't ask anybody.

709
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'll double check on it, because here's the

710
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: way I can do that real quick. Yeah, go ahead.

711
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: The way I see it is, you're if you if

712
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: he's a protected allocation for your practice squad, if like,

713
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: if you if he's not making your roster, I think

714
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 1: you have to still go through the formality of releasing

715
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: him and if you if he's protected and automatically you know,

716
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: transfers to your practice squad. I think you're denying him

717
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:25,919
Speaker 1: an opportunity to have a regular season roster spots somewhere else.

718
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: And I think that would that would go against NFLPA rules.

719
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: I can't see the NFLPA accepting that. That's a good point.

720
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 1: I don't know what's true now, because I'll double check. Yeah,

721
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: because it was written a couple of places yesterday and

722
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: we thought we ended less yesterday show with an answer

723
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 1: on this. My initial thought on it yesterday he was, well,

724
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: he's got a clear waiver, you've got to go through

725
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: the waiver process. And then I kind of read a

726
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: few things that made me think differently. I don't know,

727
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 1: I admit it. I don't know what the process is.

728
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: I've heard, well, we'll get to the bottom of it.

729
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 1: Get to the bottom of that, Chris, please. Yeah, it's

730
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: a it's a you know, sorted web that we've webb

731
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: woven with this player pathway program. Because how much last question,

732
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: it's like eighty two degrees? How much better does it

733
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: feel from last week in Carolina? Liked better? Right? Oh

734
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: my god? Like that are you kidding me? No, this

735
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: is the best place to be from May to September.

736
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. I can't eat it up here.

737
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: So what's the humidity right now? Twenty percent? I mean

738
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,240
Speaker 1: yesterday was sticky. They're like, oh, two points around fifty

739
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: after last week. I'll take it, take it. I was ridiculous.

740
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: How many showers did we all take per day last week?

741
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: To ridiculous? Three? Minimum? Three? I took one Saturday and

742
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: that was it. Once a week, whether I needed it

743
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: or not. Thank you, Chris. All right, Well see you guys.

744
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: Chris Brown Bills Insider Buffalo Bills dot Com on the

745
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: practice field in beautiful Orchard Park, New York. Now we

746
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: have we have to get an answer to that wead

747
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: question right because we ended the show and I was

748
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: reading stuff that they've been written about. He's got like

749
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: a free pass to the eleventh spot on the practice squad.

750
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 1: He's different than everybody, but he's not different than everybody. Initial,

751
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: just like Chris said, my initial thought was, well, he'll

752
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 1: have to clear waivers to get to the even the

753
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: eleventh spot on the practice squad. I don't know now,

754
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe Chris we're gonna answer for us. Hopefully.

755
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: Let us well, we keep coming. We keep bumping into

756
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: things that may be different about his situation because they're

757
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: allocated differently, and that he is this eleventh guy. He

758
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: can be this eleventh guy on the practice squad. But

759
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 1: if he goes to the eleventh spot, now I didn't

760
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: didn't hear this. If he does go to the eleventh spot,

761
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: he's protected for the year and he's not exposed to waivers.

762
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 1: He's there. But if he takes one of the ten spots,

763
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 1: any other team in the league can sign him, and

764
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: he can so can the Bills at any point during

765
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,800

805
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 1: right there. Well, what do you think of that? You

806
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,719

807
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: gonna try. I don't even know what these guys are thinking,

808
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: because in secu, you know, somebody's gonna you know, don't

809
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: say it. Yeah, get hurt, don't say it. We've already

810
00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:59,959
Speaker 1: gone through that. We're past that, we're over that hurtle,

811
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: and we're into a single. What did you think, splotch?

812
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 1: What did we're gonna say? Stink? Stink? I wrote it down.

813
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: Actually I never heard of that fanatically, but christ round

814
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: that's good and then Seki back is good. As well,

815
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: and Dawson knocks a second day back. That's good as well.

816
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: Hey brings us right to our Twitter poll question, which

817
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: position group on the Bills offense is the most wide open?

818
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 1: It's most intriguing right now, right now, not that when

819
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 1: the regular season begins, but right now. I can't believe

820
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: you just said, well, no, I get it. We had

821
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 1: a long discussion today about the wording of this Twitter pole.

822
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 1: We all kind of knew what we wanted to do,

823
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: and there's a lot to think about on the Buffalo offense.

824
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,879
Speaker 1: But I mean, if you're looking at a season wide picture,

825
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: you would say, well, quarterbacks is the most intriguing. But

826
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,919
Speaker 1: now we know what the quarterback is today today, Which

827
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: position group today on the Bills offense is the most

828
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: wide open? Give us a call to discuss. Eight oh

829
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: three five fifty toll free one eight eight eight five

830
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty vote in our Twitter poll. We

831
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: got six hundred forty votes in already and on the

832
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: Twitter poll, forty eight percent say tight end, really twenty

833
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: nine since a wide receiver, fifteen percent say offensive line,

834
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,919
Speaker 1: nine percent say running back. Okay, I mean, I guess

835
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 1: people get bored by the offensive line. That's where my

836
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: boat would go. Most people are like you, They kind

837
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: of have them penciled in. They kind of they got

838
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: a ballpark figure those top five or six guys. Tight

839
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: end is the most wide open, I think, right, I

840
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: think they're right. Knox is back on for the second day,

841
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: full go. Sweeney has been playing lights out and he

842
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,399
Speaker 1: and don't forget Sweeney was number four on the depth chart,

843
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: four behind Tyler Croft, Jason Croom, Dawson, Knox, and then

844
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: Sweeney and maybe fifth behind Lee Smith Lee Smith. Yeah,

845
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean there's he's behind Lee Smith. Who's gonna if

846
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: they go one tight end? Now? If all those guys

847
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,919
Speaker 1: are healthy, not knowing what we don't know anything about.

848
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: Tyler Croft had no idea who lines up with one

849
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: tight end formation to Friday or Jets today? I mean

850
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 1: not today, because they're gonna be Knox or Sweeney. We

851
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 1: don't even know that. And those guys are fresh out

852
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 1: of the box. Yeah, that's a that's wide open to me.

853
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 1: Aaron and Charlotte hands an idea on tight ends. Aaron,

854
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air with this, Hi, guys.

855
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: I was at the Bills game this last week and

856
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: I was super excited and I liked what I saw

857
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: and it was hot as crap too, So it's good

858
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: to be inside. But UM love listening to show. The

859
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: thing I was just thinking about was Duke Williams. I

860
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: don't know like his size or his measurables or not,

861
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,439
Speaker 1: but if he's somebody that you can kind of pack

862
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 1: on the on the bottom side of a tight end

863
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: roster just because of the size of physicality, just to

864
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 1: keep him on the roster. Yeah, they won't do that.

865
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: I don't think they'll do that. I mean, Aaron, I mean,

866
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 1: it's a good thought. We've heard people say, hey, he

867
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: could switch to tight end. He's not that big, six

868
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: three two twenty five. He's not that big, and you're

869
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,399
Speaker 1: talking about setting him back in his career where he's

870
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: already he's a four year pro out of the Canadian

871
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: Football League. He's you know, he's got a skill set

872
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: that he can play at this level in the NFL

873
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: and make a name for himself. He doesn't need to

874
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: switch positions now. And who's he gonna He's gonna outplay

875
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: Knox Sweeney, Tyler Croft? Is he gonnaut to play Croom?

876
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: He's not gonna outplay any of those guys that, particularly

877
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 1: this year, and if he can play that good on

878
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: special teams, why switch positions anyway? They need wide receivers

879
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: who can do that, so they don't need him to

880
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: switch positions. I think that that's a pipe dream. I

881
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 1: get it. You know, if he brings you something, but no,

882
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: he's a wide receiver, he's and he's a pretty good one.

883
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: You don't need him to switch positions, and and and

884
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: I get it. I think some of the time some

885
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: of it, as Bill's fans were kind of in the

886
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: position where we don't want to cut any good players

887
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: because it's been so long since we've had to do that.

888
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: You know, some teams do this every year. You know

889
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: some teams do you know they're getting rid of guys

890
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: that go off and play over here, and they go

891
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 1: over and play over there. You know, Bills haven't really

892
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 1: done that too much. I think they might do that

893
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, we got a break here, We're coming

894
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:01,400

Speaker 1: lines up with the Bills remains to be seen. Bills

917
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: had a room a room on the roster because they

918
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: put the offensive lineman Garrett mcgin an injured reserve. I

919
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: believe he injured his ankle in front endge games. So

920
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: Eric Magnusson out there wearing number sixty two for the

921
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, the newest Buffalo Bill six six three h

922
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: five got some experience. I mean, it's interesting. We were

923
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: talking about this and I didn't realize until I got

924
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,320
Speaker 1: in this morning that they had made this move, and

925
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: I was talking to you about it. They are not

926
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: stopping with this offensive line. I mean they're trying, They're running.

927
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,800
Speaker 1: Remember Nico Saragosa was in here for a minute. You know,

928
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: they got guys that are rolling through this roster. They're

929
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: checking everybody out. And you know, and he played center

930
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: and tackle and guard. I mean, this is another one

931
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: of those guys that checks a lot of boxes. You know. Um,

932
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, eight games total, it's got some experience.

933
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 1: Knows how to be a pro at least, you know,

934
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: you'd think, Um, I don't know what his injury was,

935
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 1: why they waved him, whether it was a whether it

936
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: was a knee or a pulled muscle or whatever, But

937
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:24,359
Speaker 1: never went to camp with him. I mean they didn't

938
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 1: get into camp very long and that the injury settled

939
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 1: with him. So, you know, I just gotta know. It

940
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: reminds me that they never they never sleep on over here,

941
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, they churn it over in the

942
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: bottom of this roster. They're always looking to get better.

943
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 1: I think there's in a couple of ways, one with

944
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:47,399
Speaker 1: character guys too, with athletics. If they can get better

945
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: athletically and the guy come and they come in, they

946
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 1: just feel like they're going to be that much better.

947
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 1: And this is Eric Magnusson from you know, originally how

948
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 1: of Michigan University. They brought it here. He is twenty

949
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 1: five year old guy. Bring him in, see if he

950
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: can make it. It's man, this is think that man.

951
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 1: This just keeps rolling. Think they they had fifteen guys

952
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 1: when they started training camp and with a couple of

953
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:12,840
Speaker 1: them weren't even playing right. Yep, they had like seventeen

954
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: guys and they've been rolling it over. They've rolled over

955
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 1: like three or four or five guys. Yeah, I know

956
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 1: which position group on the bills is the most wide open?

957
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: Right now? Give us a call or let's discuss we

958
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 1: can discuss it on Twitter and you can vote in

959
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll or send it a tweet. We can

960
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: read it on the tweet sheet. Brought to you by

961
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: Cargan Moving Systems, the official movers of the Buffalo Bills.

962
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:36,919
Speaker 1: The Bills position group that right now is the most

963
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 1: wide open where you really don't know how it's going

964
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: to play out. Max sends in this tweet tight end.

965
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I went from thinking Tommy Sweeney was

966
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: a sure shot practice squad guy earlier this year to

967
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: thinking he's got a chance at seeing his fair shot

968
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:54,359
Speaker 1: of playing time this year. He has acquitted himself well

969
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: during camp and preseason, and now you got Dawson Knox

970
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,479
Speaker 1: apparently full go in practice city. We don't know about

971
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: crew me No. Craft is still a week or two away.

972
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:04,400
Speaker 1: We know Lee Smith roll as a blocker. That's a

973
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: good one. Tight End is wide open. I can see that.

974
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 1: I can see that answer. Yeah, I do too. It's

975
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 1: it's impossible to even get a handle on what they're

976
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,320
Speaker 1: thinking because some of these guys they haven't seen it.

977
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 1: They don't have enough information on Dawson Knock to know

978
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: what he's gonna be. Um, I don't know I I'm

979
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 1: with him. I'm totally with him on the tight end group.

980
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,399
Speaker 1: I think that's the injuries. As much as we've talked

981
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: about the offensive line, Mitch Morse, who's now back in

982
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: the lineup that has that's thrown a wrench into their

983
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 1: offensive line tests and into it or made it easier.

984
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 1: I think it's made it. It clouded it up. He's

985
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: the center. I don't know. I think it's made it.

986
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: I think things will begin to fall in place now

987
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: with Mitch MOR's back there. I think that's exactly what

988
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: they wanted, ye throw a wrench into it. I don't know,

989
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I don't think they know

990
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 1: who their five are gonna be. Maybe they do, probably

991
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: down I just gave you, you gave me yours. We

992
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 1: don't count, But I don't know that compared to that,

993
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 1: to the tight ends, they got the top three guys

994
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,760
Speaker 1: off the table. That's a big difference. That's a big difference,

995
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 1: and I think that's that's why I agree. I think

996
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: tight end is the one that's most wide open. All Right,

997
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: we got a break. Care When we come back, we're

998
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: gonna talk with Dan Orlovski, who covers college football in

999
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:26,839
Speaker 1: the NFL. For ESPN has a lot to say about

00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: Josh Ellen and Josh's performance against Carolina last Friday night.

1001

1007
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:04,040

1031
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 1: a helmet that works for him. It's the latest part

1032
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 1: of Brown's ongoing fight against an NFL policy that requires

1033
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 1: helmet certification according to industry standards. Brown's agent said Monday

1034
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:24,200

1037
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott. I don't think it was funny, and neither

Speaker 1: did Zeke, said Elliot's agent. Forty nine Ers quarterback Jimmy

1039

1064
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 1: single snap of everybody, if I'm being honest, but I

1065
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,600

1066
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: someone that I should be watching for a specific reason.

1067
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 1: And one I have one more question for you on this,

1068
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: And look, people here are encouraged by the Bills and

1069
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 1: by Josh Allen in particular, but getting limited samples here

1070
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 1: right this time of year, we don't have a lot

1071
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:04,799
Speaker 1: to look at and not a big body of work,

1072
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: right yeah, yeah, not at all. You know, the preseason

1073
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,720
Speaker 1: has become what everyone understands it to be, and joint

1074
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:14,800
Speaker 1: practices have even taken less of reps away, certainly in

1075
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 1: the games that everyone gets the opportunity to watch. But

1076
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 1: you just judge off that. That's all you can go

1077
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,320
Speaker 1: off of, and you you try to see if coaches

1078
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 1: are confident enough and putting certain guys in certain situations.

1079
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 1: Like what I took from the game the other night

1080
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:34,279
Speaker 1: was they got into empty formation a lot, meaning just

1081
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 1: the fove offensive i'men blocking And that was something that

1082
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 1: I had come on when Josh was coming out of

1083
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 1: school with you guys and said he struggled with that

1084
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,439
Speaker 1: man because the protections, and that was something that last

1085
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 1: year he again struggled with. And that's why this when

1086
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:49,320
Speaker 1: I saw it the other night, I was like, it

1087
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 1: was almost like there was a specific narrative that they

1088
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 1: were trying to prep him for and see where he

1089
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 1: truly was in game time situations with it, and it

1090
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 1: looked like he handled it really well. Yeah, that's one

1091
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:01,800
Speaker 1: of the things I was going to ask you about.

1092
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 1: How do you evaluate these quarterbacks, particularly guys like Josh Allen,

1093
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:09,279
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, all these young quarterbacks in a

1094
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 1: situation where they're not game planning, they don't know what

1095
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 1: defense they're gonna look at, and they're not running their

1096
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 1: entire offense because they don't want to show things how

1097
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:22,440
Speaker 1: do you evaluate them in that situation. Yeah, I mean

1098
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 1: the biggest thing, and you'll hear coaches say this all

1099
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,879
Speaker 1: the time is listen rules or rules when it comes

1100
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: to football. And just because you're not game planning doesn't

1101
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: mean you still don't follow your rules when it comes

1102
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: to certain plays, whether whether it's the past play and

1103
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 1: how you go through progression or your run checks, or

1104
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 1: your past protection and how you handle different fronts and pressures. Now,

1105
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:45,760
Speaker 1: it might not fit you up for the ultimate success.

1106
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 1: That's where game planning comes in. But at the end

1107
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 1: of the day, if you learn your rules in training

1108
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 1: camps and throughout the offseason, and you learn rules, you

1109
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: really don't need game planning at the end of the

1110
00:53:57,680 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 1: day because, Okay, if I know I have a five

1111
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:01,399
Speaker 1: man for section and we're gonna go to this guy,

1112
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 1: I've got one more as an issue, and if they adjust,

1113
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,279
Speaker 1: you just continue to follow your rules and that's how

1114
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 1: you evaluate. Okay, this guy understands the fundamental part of

1115
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 1: this play or protection. He understands the rules. Now is

1116
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 1: when we can get more confident doing more stuff with it.

1117
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 1: And once he gets the understanding of the basic, the

1118
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: next level, the next level so it's a rules based thing.

1119
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:25,240
Speaker 1: That's what you try to evaluate with Dan or Lawski

1120
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:27,319
Speaker 1: from ESPN. And there was one play that got our

1121
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 1: attention Dan from the Bill's win at Carolina on the

1122
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 1: other night. You tweeted it out on Sunday this week.

1123
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: Is a third down situation, third and four. You call

1124
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 1: it the favorite play this preseason from Josh Allen because

1125
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 1: you identified in your tweet with the video how he

1126
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,719
Speaker 1: kind of set it up. I'm making directions on the

1127
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,399
Speaker 1: field pre snap. That was big for you, right, Yeah,

1128
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 1: it was huge because again that was something that I

1129
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 1: had said coming out of the draft, Okay, this is

1130
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: he struggles with it and it's a it's a difficult fix,

1131
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:58,839
Speaker 1: and he showed some signs of struggling with it last year.

1132
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 1: And then you watch him this play where he's just

1133
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 1: got the five guys in protection, but the defense is like, well,

1134
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 1: we're not gonna make it that easy on you, and

1135
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:09,279
Speaker 1: so they bring up those two linebackers in the A

1136
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: gap and initially Josh is like, Okay, this is gonna

1137
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: be our protectional and that's like the football one on

1138
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 1: one rule. So you see him pointing to his right,

1139
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 1: tell him Beasley Hey, you're gonna be hot if that

1140
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:20,320
Speaker 1: guy comes. And all of a sudden, it was almost

1141
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 1: like Josh got kicked in the head. It was like no, no, no, dummy, Like, no,

1142
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: we're not doing that. This is the answer to this glitz.

1143
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:28,880
Speaker 1: And I said that in a good way. It was

1144
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:30,799
Speaker 1: like the light went on for him in that moment,

1145
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,800
Speaker 1: the hello, dude, what are we doing moments where he

1146
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 1: was like, no, that's not it. I gotta tell Shady

1147
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 1: he's my hot because the offensive line is gonna do this.

1148
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:41,919
Speaker 1: And then the thing that I loved about it even

1149
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 1: more solicit. I love the communication. I love it. But

1150
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 1: so many guys get caught up in the communication and

1151
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 1: the analysis that they get paralyzed by it and they're like, Okay,

1152
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 1: I got the protection, what do I do with the

1153
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 1: football now? And they miss or they started the wrong guy.

1154
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 1: Just how fast he made his decision, held the backer

1155
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:01,200
Speaker 1: for a s I can, and drove the shot to

1156
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 1: the tight end before he was even looking for it.

1157
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 1: It just looked like quarterbacking. It looked like a guy

1158
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: who's starting or in the middle, or certainly in the

1159
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 1: process of becoming a quarterback, not just the thrower. How

1160
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 1: much credit to Bill's coaches get for getting Josh to

1161
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: even this level from based on where he was a

1162
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 1: year ago. Dan Ah, big time. You know, it is

1163
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:23,879
Speaker 1: a it is I mean, you know, it's a weed.

1164
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 1: It's all of us, takes everybody. And so I love

1165
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:31,240
Speaker 1: coaches that give players answers. I love coaches that test

1166
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 1: players and give players the opportunity because we can all

1167
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 1: sit there and say, yeah, I got it. Yeah, no,

1168
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 1: we're in a meeting room. I totally understand it. And

1169
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 1: I love coaches that have the courage and the belief,

1170
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 1: almost like stilling belief on him to say, no, we

1171
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 1: trusted you can get this now, You're good enough now.

1172
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 1: And so they deserve a lot of credit because it's

1173
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:53,280
Speaker 1: really easy for coaches to protect players because they protect

1174
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 1: themselves and for the coaching staff to be willing enough

1175
00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:59,320
Speaker 1: to say no, no, no, for us to go to

1176
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 1: the next level, and for this kid to go to

1177
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,440
Speaker 1: the next level, we gotta get this done. And it's

1178
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 1: part of our job and our responsibility to equip him,

1179
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 1: to give him the tools to get there. And that's

1180
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:11,279
Speaker 1: that's a credit to them. Yeah. One of the things

1181
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 1: we've noticed also, and they've gotten better around Josh out

1182
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 1: last year, he had to do a lottery. He ran

1183
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 1: with a football a ton because nobody was getting separation.

1184
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, he comes out this last week

1185
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 1: against Carolina, and the receptions and the targets he threw

1186
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 1: to Cole Beasley could not have looked easier. How big

1187
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 1: a change is that gonna be? Yeah, you're gonna see

1188
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 1: it a lot more. It's twofold once. Josh is obviously

1189
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 1: the athletic, big arms kid, right, and so you can

1190
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:43,479
Speaker 1: fall in love with like not only as a player,

1191
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 1: but as a coach, almost salivating to go, let's let's

1192
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 1: just push the ball downie, Let's keep pushing the ball

1193
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 1: downfield because you can. Just because you can doesn't mean

1194
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: you should. And so the opportunity for forgetting the ball

1195
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 1: out of his hands a little bit more, forgetting him

1196
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 1: to be a little bit more efficient offensively on first

1197
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 1: and second down because they don't necessarily mean third and three.

1198
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: They can mean first, second, first down pattern. That's gonna

1199
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 1: be really important. And now they obviously have a guy

1200
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 1: in that hell he understands color and leverage of people.

1201
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:18,000
Speaker 1: I always say this, everyone says, are running backs a

1202
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: quarterback's best friend. I say, a guy who understands own

1203
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:23,919
Speaker 1: and he can beat man is a quarterback's best friend.

1204
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 1: And that's who Beasley is. You give him his own defense.

1205
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 1: He not only knows where the soft spot is, but

1206
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 1: he knows how to make sure the soft spot they

1207
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 1: soft meaning. And I'm not gonna run the color or

1208
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm not gonna get too close to this

1209
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 1: defender because then it's gonna attract his attention and then

1210
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 1: he'll win. And man, now he's gonna go outside. I

1211
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 1: as a single receiver by himself, and whoops. Some starting

1212
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:48,920
Speaker 1: quarter in the NFL comes thistly. No. But if you

1213
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 1: put him inside and give us a split and you

1214
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 1: help him, he'll win versus man, and that'll be a

1215
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 1: big deal for Josh. ESPN football analyst Dan Orlovsky on

1216
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 1: the line with us talking about the Bills a little bit,

1217
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 1: and one more Josh Allen question I have for you, Dan,

1218
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 1: that's um. Look, he's not a finished product, and I

1219
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 1: wonder what you see is you know the next step

1220
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen And maybe it's maybe there's not just

1221
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 1: one thing, But if you were around Josh and kind

1222
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:13,439
Speaker 1: of coaching him along what would you like to see

1223
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:15,720
Speaker 1: him work on and improve as he moves forward in

1224
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 1: his career. Yeah, I'd say the one thing to make

1225
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: a different analogy is you're not in the home run derby. Okay,

1226
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 1: not every ball has to go be the wow throw.

1227
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:28,919
Speaker 1: Not every ball has to be the home run ball. Now,

1228
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 1: Josh needs to hit them when they present themselves. I mean,

1229
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 1: one of the things that you know, these quarterbacks, Brady

1230
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 1: and Breeze and Ben and Rogers and Rivers, these guys

1231
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 1: who have been really, really good, they're great for a

1232
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 1: decade plus. Their coaches only call star Wars six deep

1233
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 1: ball of the game. And these guys two times hit

1234
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 1: him one or two times check him down, and another

1235
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 1: time throw it away. So what I'm what I'm trying

1236
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 1: to say is they make the shot to play the

1237
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 1: home run, so to speak, they make it a efficient play.

1238
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Then where coaches feel a little bit better of calling it.

1239
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 1: Josh has to hit those just a little bit more

1240
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 1: one one and a half times FRED games and then

1241
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 1: understand that he can throw that five yard gall to

1242
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 1: Basiley and turn into a twenty yard game. He can

1243
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 1: throw that five yard ball to Shady and turn into

1244
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 1: a fifteen yard game. That's the big thing. You're not

1245
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 1: in the home on journey, so not eversoning needs to

1246
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 1: be put in the ball like that. Yeah. One of

1247
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 1: the things we've been also keeping our eye on here

1248
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 1: in Buffalo is the rest of the division. Sam Darnold

1249
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 1: over in New York House he you know, he looks

1250
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 1: pretty good as well. He looks like he might take

1251
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:40,720
Speaker 1: a step forward as well for the Jets. Yeah. I

1252
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 1: mean I've been outspoken of my adoration for for Sam

1253
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 1: since he came out of school. I just love the

1254
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 1: way you know. Sam to me is almost like an

1255
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 1: explosive Tony romo, like watching Steve Nash play goals for basketball.

1256
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:56,800
Speaker 1: It's just this athleticism and nimbleness of those you defend.

1257
01:00:57,280 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 1: He plays quarterback in a very unique way and you

1258
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 1: can see consistently making and if they'll accurate. I've got

1259
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 1: a one by one window throw all the time where

1260
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 1: pocket saw a perfect roll over the place. You know,

1261
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:14,040
Speaker 1: I expect Adam Gason's who are really nice job with

1262
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 1: a lot of different parts that offense, whether it's tempo misdirection.

1263
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna allow Sam to run a line

1264
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 1: of scrimmage a little bit. So um, if they stay healthy,

1265
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:25,480
Speaker 1: that's a big I gotta stay healthy up front like

1266
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:27,919
Speaker 1: so many other teams, but even more so the case

1267
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:30,000
Speaker 1: for them if they stay healthy up front and at

1268
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 1: the skilled positions, San Darno's ready for a big breakout

1269
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,439
Speaker 1: in the rum on the Dana on the other side

1270
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 1: of quarterback play, What do you make it Jimmy Garoppolo's

1271
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 1: performance last night and how much concern should they have

1272
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:44,040
Speaker 1: in San Francisco? Yeah, they should be concerns. You know,

1273
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:46,600
Speaker 1: I was a fan at Jimmy G during the trade

1274
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 1: and this is why like Jimmy G show some nice

1275
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:52,960
Speaker 1: I just love the anticipation that he places within the

1276
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:55,560
Speaker 1: understanding of ball placement that he plays with. He went

1277
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 1: to an incredible situation where they got a good offensive line.

1278
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 1: Obviously a fan has to play call or designer, and

1279
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:03,960
Speaker 1: they've got the still people now like they've took some

1280
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:06,919
Speaker 1: weapons that he can get the vall too. And once

1281
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 1: you really start diving in and obviously you watch some

1282
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:13,280
Speaker 1: tape and the five interceptions in a row in practice

1283
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 1: last week, Captain, and I'm saying this out of respect,

1284
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 1: but as I was a backup for ninety nine percent

1285
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 1: of my career, whatever the number is, I've never even

1286
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 1: come close. But throwing five picks in the practice, I've

1287
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: never even been in the same galaxy of throwing five

1288
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 1: picks in a row in practice. I mean, that's that's

1289
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 1: really hard to do. And so I went back, I said, Okay, Jimmy,

1290
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 1: he's been a shared a quarterback in the NFL for

1291
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 1: essentially two years. He his interception percentage ratio is a

1292
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 1: three point oh. What that means that for every one

1293
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 1: hundred caps as he throws, he throws three picks. If

1294
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 1: you just and it's a smaller samphasize because of me

1295
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:50,120
Speaker 1: as you but if you just look that over the

1296
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:53,480
Speaker 1: last decade, it's just that three point oh answer, it's

1297
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 1: bottom five in the NFL every single year. And then

1298
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:01,280
Speaker 1: you watched last night and maybe we're starting to see

1299
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 1: a steam of Jimmy g isn't what who a lot

1300
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:08,880
Speaker 1: of people thought he was. Maybe he is a turnover issue. Well,

1301
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 1: did you see any protection issues with his offensive line?

1302
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:13,760
Speaker 1: I mean, we're seeing some highlights now and it looks

1303
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:17,120
Speaker 1: like the Denver Broncos defense is gonna be for real.

1304
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to give him too much credit.

1305
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 1: And sure, but he's not playing in a vacuum in Denver. No, yeah,

1306
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 1: I mean that that defensive line for Denver is very good. Um,

1307
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 1: I would say that, like the baddest balls to the

1308
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 1: baddest balls, he should have had two picks. The interception,

1309
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 1: it almost looks like there's a little bit of a

1310
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:38,040
Speaker 1: miscommunication because there's a lot of people near that ball

1311
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 1: and Stebe he knows this like you don't design places

1312
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:43,160
Speaker 1: the two people within two yards at each other, and

1313
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 1: it looked like the back one wye at the end

1314
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:49,080
Speaker 1: of the day, Jimmy, geez, he's got the ball, and

1315
01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:51,400
Speaker 1: the ball either how to get out of his hand,

1316
01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 1: clicker to stop route or that hitch route or move on,

1317
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 1: especially for a guy who's had, um, you know, a

1318
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 1: good amount of reps. He's not a rookie or this

1319
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 1: is a this is in his second year in the NFL.

1320
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 1: So no, the protection isn't great, But that's the reality

1321
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:09,880
Speaker 1: of the NFL. That's the reality of played quarterback in

1322
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 1: the NFL. And for a hundred plus a million dollars,

1323
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:16,080
Speaker 1: your job is to value that football every single moment

1324
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 1: of your life. And so again I understand it's preseason

1325
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 1: and whatnot been if I'm before they understanding I'm in

1326
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 1: the locker room. I've got concerns because of the pattern

1327
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 1: that we're seeing overtime. Dan Laski played twelve years in

1328
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:30,880
Speaker 1: the NFL at quarterback. He's now ESPN football analysts want

1329
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 1: to ask you about Miami situation and their brand new

1330
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 1: head coach. Flores says he's not quite ready to name

1331
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick. Has his opening day starter Fitzpatrick Josh Rosen.

1332
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 1: Maybe he doesn't have a good option there, Dan, Maybe

1333
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 1: there's no good choice there. Huh yeah, Yeah. My guests

1334
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:48,320
Speaker 1: would be that they're not ready to name fifty because

1335
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 1: they want it to be Josh. Right, Like, what if

1336
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 1: what does starting Ryan Patrick do for you? I love

1337
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 1: he was finding my draft class and he might throw

1338
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:57,920
Speaker 1: twenty two touchdowns at ten pick and have a pretty

1339
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 1: solid year, as all you guys know, But what does

1340
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 1: that do in a year from now? Like you're gonna

1341
01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 1: still then be in the same situation. Oh, we don't

1342
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 1: know anything about Josh frozen. Maybe we have a top

1343
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:12,320
Speaker 1: five pick, but we don't know where the college quarterbacks

1344
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 1: are gonna stand. We have a belief that there's gonna

1345
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:16,120
Speaker 1: be a good amount of them out. But what happens

1346
01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:18,640
Speaker 1: if you just start John Frozen and he plays good

1347
01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:22,040
Speaker 1: football and you go, you know what, we got the

1348
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:24,600
Speaker 1: fingers crossed, the situation where when we trade it for him,

1349
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 1: cross our fingers and maybe we will get lucky here.

1350
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 1: And so my thing is start them. You just don't know,

1351
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:35,160
Speaker 1: and Ryan fits touching. Playing solid football for you doesn't

1352
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:39,520
Speaker 1: make any sense. Um, it's evidence that the front office

1353
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 1: is tanking. Right, But you can tank as a front

1354
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 1: office and not as a coaching Soccer players players and

1355
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:48,920
Speaker 1: coaching players and coaches will never tank. They're not wired

1356
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 1: to tank. Front office in Miami is tanking. Therefore playing

1357
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:56,520
Speaker 1: John Frozen and figure out what you have one of

1358
01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:58,760
Speaker 1: the other guys in here in the AFC East, we

1359
01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time talking about forty two year

1360
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 1: old quarterback in New England that it seems to be

1361
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:06,120
Speaker 1: maybe on the maybe he's peaked and is on the

1362
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 1: back nine. But there's a forty year old quarterback down

1363
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:12,160
Speaker 1: in New Orleans who shows no signs of slowing down.

1364
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:16,040
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, who's forty years old, still has it in

1365
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:18,680
Speaker 1: and maybe throw for five thousand yards again this season?

1366
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:22,280
Speaker 1: Is that amazing to you? Would tell me what you

1367
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:25,400
Speaker 1: thought your thoughts about Drew Brees continuing his career. Yeah,

1368
01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:28,400
Speaker 1: I always say this, Um, it's really cool when you

1369
01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:30,400
Speaker 1: go into the NFL and Steve you know this, we're like,

1370
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 1: and John you see it when you walk in and

1371
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:36,240
Speaker 1: you're like, man, this gets twenty one, these six one,

1372
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:39,920
Speaker 1: these two hundred and twenty pounds or six twenty pounds

1373
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 1: got forty inch vertically runs a forty three, Like you

1374
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:46,640
Speaker 1: always marvel at those guys, right, And then as I

1375
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:49,760
Speaker 1: got a little bit older, I really started to drink

1376
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:53,360
Speaker 1: gain an admiration for the thirty year old who was

1377
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:55,920
Speaker 1: still going every day, still kept himself and still could

1378
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:58,040
Speaker 1: run with the young kids, and still could be in

1379
01:06:58,080 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 1: the weight room with their young kids and still practice.

1380
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 1: And so it's for them to be doing for Breeze,

1381
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 1: that be doing what he's doing at his age, and

1382
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:10,200
Speaker 1: it is so fascinating. But you are starting to see

1383
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:13,360
Speaker 1: the and that guys like Ham and Brady reaped the

1384
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:15,880
Speaker 1: benefits of the choices they made at twenty twenty one,

1385
01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 1: twenty two, twenty three, the sacker prices that they made,

1386
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 1: they have legits slowed down all the time. Breezel's throats

1387
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:25,960
Speaker 1: anywhere close to forty five to five thousand yards this year.

1388
01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:29,400
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, Michael Thomas, that Jared Cook edition is

1389
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 1: going to be huge. And the thing for Breezes he

1390
01:07:31,840 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 1: can put the ball where every one still like that,

1391
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 1: that matters. He's some guys you lose the actress. He

1392
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:41,920
Speaker 1: can put the ball wherever he watched Dan. There's all

1393
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 1: kinds you know, obviously, uh, Breeze and Brady, but there

1394
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:47,280
Speaker 1: are all kinds of good young quarterbacks. In fact, on

1395
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:50,160
Speaker 1: ESPN recently, you kind of named your your top five

1396
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:53,959
Speaker 1: quarterbacks over the next five years, Pat Mahomes, Carson Wentz,

1397
01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, UM, Jared Goff, Shaun Watson. UM. That's great

1398
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:01,200
Speaker 1: less in the case to me. And when you think

1399
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:02,640
Speaker 1: of some of the others who are out there now

1400
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 1: that we could be in kind of a new era

1401
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:08,200
Speaker 1: of NFL football where there's very good young quarterbacks. Over

1402
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 1: the next couple of years, we'll see a lot of

1403
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:13,040
Speaker 1: them begin to develop. Huh yeah, for sure. And we're

1404
01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 1: gonna need him right because in the next couple of

1405
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:18,559
Speaker 1: years we're gonna lose Brady and Breeze and Philip Rivers

1406
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:23,080
Speaker 1: and probably Aaron Rodgers and Eli Manning. So you're looking

1407
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:25,439
Speaker 1: at some guys that are gonna have gold jackets on

1408
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:29,000
Speaker 1: one day leaving the league. And so we're certainly gonna

1409
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:33,879
Speaker 1: need this infusion of who's gonna be the standard setters

1410
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:35,680
Speaker 1: and the guys who go at it for the next

1411
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:39,040
Speaker 1: fifteen years. And so it is a very healthy crop

1412
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:43,960
Speaker 1: right now, and that's a really good situation. Now, how

1413
01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:47,679
Speaker 1: how are they going to become those gold jacket wears.

1414
01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:50,720
Speaker 1: That's that's gonna be the fascinating part because being really

1415
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:53,360
Speaker 1: good school. But we love the gold jacket guys. We

1416
01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:56,120
Speaker 1: look the great guys. We love the guys that make

1417
01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:58,640
Speaker 1: no sense of what they're accomplishing. And so that'll be

1418
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:02,479
Speaker 1: the really fascinating to watch for the next ten years. Dan,

1419
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:04,640
Speaker 1: last last question for me, I gotta ask you, do

1420
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,080
Speaker 1: you how worried? Are you concerned? Or what are your

1421
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:09,679
Speaker 1: thoughts on Andrew Luck and his ability to stay healthy

1422
01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:14,839
Speaker 1: this calf injury and obviously what he means to that franchise.

1423
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:17,880
Speaker 1: But I didn't realize it until I look. Andrew Luck's

1424
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:21,280
Speaker 1: thirty years old himself. What are your thoughts on Andrew luck,

1425
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 1: his legacy, where his career is, and what's next for him. Yeah,

1426
01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:28,599
Speaker 1: I mean to sit there and say there's no concern,

1427
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:30,800
Speaker 1: especially if the last what was transpired or last two

1428
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:35,759
Speaker 1: weeks is silly. From what I've heard about this injury,

1429
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:39,759
Speaker 1: he has an extra bone, like there's an extra grows bone. Okay,

1430
01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:43,360
Speaker 1: that is forcing the pain. Now when I think pain,

1431
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:47,320
Speaker 1: I okay, players at the people. You can figure out

1432
01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:49,639
Speaker 1: ways to manage pain. You can get a little surgery

1433
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 1: to reduce that pain or get rid of that pain.

1434
01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:55,320
Speaker 1: So I don't know if it's necessarily injury for Andrew,

1435
01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:58,960
Speaker 1: whether it's just a unique byproduct of his body in

1436
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:01,840
Speaker 1: kind of the composition of it. Um, But yeah, I

1437
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:04,360
Speaker 1: mean there's this is this is a year after year

1438
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:09,000
Speaker 1: after year dealing with stuff that eventually people succumbed to

1439
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:12,240
Speaker 1: the human bodies is only shooting for so long or

1440
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:15,200
Speaker 1: only capable for so long. So um, he's one of

1441
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:18,360
Speaker 1: the bright, bright, great players in the NFL. He is.

1442
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:20,840
Speaker 1: He gives the Colts the chance to win the Super Bowl,

1443
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:23,519
Speaker 1: and without them they're just an okay football team. My

1444
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:26,800
Speaker 1: concerned level is still smaller because how smart he is

1445
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:28,719
Speaker 1: and how well he handled last year with the shoulder,

1446
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:32,519
Speaker 1: but to say zero would would be retton negligent. Yeah,

1447
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:34,439
Speaker 1: we learned so much when you're on with us. Thank you.

1448
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:36,640
Speaker 1: Your your plans for the fall is ESPN he have

1449
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:38,920
Speaker 1: you on college football broadcast again? Is that what you're

1450
01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:41,640
Speaker 1: looking at? Yeah, I'll be doing games on Saturday with

1451
01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:44,439
Speaker 1: the guy named Bob, which Susan grade and I'm staked

1452
01:10:44,479 --> 01:10:46,960
Speaker 1: about that. And then get up Monday and Tuesday and

1453
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:48,760
Speaker 1: I'll be on wrist all day for the for the

1454
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:53,040
Speaker 1: Sports Center NFL Live run on Wednesdays. So busy fall,

01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 1: we get you on the show again. Thank you very much.

1457
01:10:56,400 --> 01:11:00,639
Speaker 1: Thanks great talking to you. Daniloski is he being football

1458
01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:04,360
Speaker 1: analysts played twelve years quarterback in the league for Detroit, Houston,

1459
01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:08,600
Speaker 1: Indian Tampa Bay. He makes great sense about Josh, not

1460
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:11,000
Speaker 1: not only what Josh did against Carolina, but what Josh

1461
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:14,000
Speaker 1: has to do in the future. Don't try to You're

1462
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:15,599
Speaker 1: not in a home run derby. Don't try to home

1463
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:17,880
Speaker 1: right line. He's not a home run derby. Not last year,

1464
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:20,479
Speaker 1: you know, I think they were kind of backed into

1465
01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 1: a corner where they kind of had to play home

1466
01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:25,120
Speaker 1: run ball a little bit, and with Josh's abilities and

1467
01:11:25,439 --> 01:11:27,960
Speaker 1: the lack of somebody to get open underneath, and what

1468
01:11:28,160 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 1: defenses were able to do against them, because the Bills

1469
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:33,040
Speaker 1: were a little bit predictable in that way, hit the

1470
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:35,519
Speaker 1: home run ball, try and scheme some guys open, and

1471
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:37,560
Speaker 1: Brian day Ball let him, let him swing for the

1472
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:40,559
Speaker 1: fence a lot because he had no other he had

1473
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:44,639
Speaker 1: no other opportunity alternatives. That's exactly right, Bills are practicing.

1474
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:46,800
Speaker 1: When they wrap it up, we will hear from the

1475

01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:58,160
Speaker 1: I think punter is wide open. It would not surprise

1517
01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:00,080
Speaker 1: me if the Bills picked up Ryan Allen, who was

1518
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:03,400
Speaker 1: released yesterday by the Patriots. It would really solidify that

1519
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:06,679
Speaker 1: spot with experience and leadership and help out Stephen Houski

1520
01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:09,439
Speaker 1: with an experience holder. Do you think do you think

1521
01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:11,519
Speaker 1: Houski's miss field goals have been because of the holes?

1522
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:14,080
Speaker 1: I haven't heard anything about that, and maybe maybe there

1523
01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:16,599
Speaker 1: is something to it, and maybe there's not. But switching holders,

1524
01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:18,560
Speaker 1: I know is not a good thing. And once the

1525
01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:20,880
Speaker 1: regular season starts, thinking heat and start practicing with just

1526
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:24,479
Speaker 1: one guy. That'll help. But switching back and forth between

1527
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:26,920
Speaker 1: these two guys is yeah, not good. The only one

1528
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:30,519
Speaker 1: you could really get a definitive statement from would be Houseki.

1529
01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:33,120
Speaker 1: Right that that field goal. I watched it pretty closely

1530
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:35,040
Speaker 1: the other night. The miss was that a forty eight

1531
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:37,160
Speaker 1: yard miss? I think it was a long one. Yeah,

1532
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:38,360
Speaker 1: I think it was. It's a long one. It was

1533
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:41,679
Speaker 1: flat plus anything. Look from my untrained eye, I didn't

1534
01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:44,120
Speaker 1: see anything wrong with a hold by a Carter, Corey Carter.

1535
01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:46,680
Speaker 1: But who knows? Housky is the only one who could

1536
01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:49,240
Speaker 1: answer that question. Yeah. We also have one from this

1537
01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:52,479
Speaker 1: from the tweet sheet from from Andrew. He says, with

1538
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:55,000
Speaker 1: all the talent, they have a wide receiver position, it's

1539
01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:56,600
Speaker 1: going to be a true testacy who will take the

1540
01:14:56,640 --> 01:15:00,400
Speaker 1: last available spots. And this is the interesting part to me, Brown, Jones,

1541
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:02,800
Speaker 1: Beasley are locks for making the team, so it'll be

1542
01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:04,840
Speaker 1: a true test for the rest of them to make

1543
01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:10,000
Speaker 1: the team slash practice squad. So Andrew gives Brown, Jones,

1544
01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:14,120
Speaker 1: and Beasley John Brown, Zay Jones and Cole Beasley are

1545
01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:17,080
Speaker 1: the only three he says are locks. Everybody else is

1546
01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:18,880
Speaker 1: thrown to a hat and pick out. I don't know

1547
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:22,720
Speaker 1: if I quite agree with that, but yeah, if that's

1548
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:26,599
Speaker 1: the case, you got two or three spots that are

1549
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:30,560
Speaker 1: wide open for interpretation if you will. And that's not

1550
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:34,760
Speaker 1: I asked, maybe that's another poll question. Who is a

1551
01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:39,560
Speaker 1: lock at wide receiver? Yeah? Yeah, I mean, you know,

1552
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:42,040
Speaker 1: we've discussed this at a length for months and we

1553
01:15:42,120 --> 01:15:44,880
Speaker 1: still can't come to a definitive conclusion. But I don't know.

1554
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:47,080
Speaker 1: I want to see. I want to see all the

1555
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:49,040
Speaker 1: preseason before I start talking like that, because I want

1556
01:15:49,040 --> 01:15:51,519
Speaker 1: to see everybody play. Right, We're only halfway through preseason, right.

1557
01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:55,120
Speaker 1: Here's one from Francis. Which position group is most wide open?

1558
01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:58,639
Speaker 1: Francis tweets in offensive line for sure. A lot of combos,

1559
01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:00,759
Speaker 1: and I'm willing to bet they will with the offensive

1560
01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:02,880
Speaker 1: line until the first game. Not a bad thing, but

1561
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:05,839
Speaker 1: you've got to find that fit for rebuilt offensive line. Francis,

1562
01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:08,479
Speaker 1: I don't know. My senses, they have done their tooling,

1563
01:16:09,120 --> 01:16:11,679
Speaker 1: they get Mitch Morse back in practice, it appears today

1564
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:14,519
Speaker 1: and my senses they're ready to lock in a five,

1565
01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:16,479
Speaker 1: A starting five. I already told you who I thought

1566
01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:18,479
Speaker 1: it would be. That's just my guess. I don't know

1567
01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:21,240
Speaker 1: for sure, but I think we're approaching the time when

1568
01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:24,719
Speaker 1: they're gonna want that first unit offensive line to play together,

1569
01:16:24,840 --> 01:16:27,000
Speaker 1: and it might be this Friday night at Detroit, right

1570
01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:29,560
Speaker 1: I'm thinking that would be the optimal time. Look, we

1571
01:16:29,640 --> 01:16:33,080
Speaker 1: know how preseason game number four goes. Nobody plays, So

1572
01:16:33,640 --> 01:16:36,200
Speaker 1: I hope the Bills are not in a position two

1573
01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:38,280
Speaker 1: weeks or a week from Thursday where they have to

1574
01:16:38,920 --> 01:16:41,200
Speaker 1: start their first team offensive line just because those guys

1575
01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:43,559
Speaker 1: need some reps. I hope they get that done this Friday. Yeah,

1576
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:46,840
Speaker 1: I do too, and I'm feeling pretty good about the

1577
01:16:46,920 --> 01:16:52,320
Speaker 1: offensive line. Mitch Morse being healthy helps that Spain, Spencer

1578
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:55,680
Speaker 1: Long Feliciano in there at guards and to back up

1579
01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:59,479
Speaker 1: the center. Spencer Long and John Feliciano both played center

1580
01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:03,120
Speaker 1: and both guards. Spain has been a fixture at the

1581
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:04,760
Speaker 1: left guard and played a little bit of right guard

1582
01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:10,280
Speaker 1: this last yesterday. Then you know the tackles within Secky

1583
01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:12,519
Speaker 1: and Secky being hurt. You know, it's a little concerning,

1584
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:17,000
Speaker 1: but it doesn't seem to be anything, you know, threatening

1585
01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:19,920
Speaker 1: to any long term ability to play. So you've got

1586
01:17:20,240 --> 01:17:25,560
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins Cody Ford, Tie and Secki. Then who is

1587
01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:28,040
Speaker 1: my question? I don't know who that next tackle is

1588
01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:31,840
Speaker 1: going to be. I'd like to see another guy show up,

1589
01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:35,320
Speaker 1: But as far as who it's going to be, I

1590
01:17:35,360 --> 01:17:36,960
Speaker 1: have no idea, you know, I don't have any I

1591
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:39,040
Speaker 1: don't care who it is. Just somebody play good, right,

1592
01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:42,400
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what we're talking about here. You know,

1593
01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:45,080
Speaker 1: we gotta get out on the show. Ryan Bates rookie

1594
01:17:45,640 --> 01:17:48,439
Speaker 1: Penn State. Just they acquired in a trade about a

1595
01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:50,960
Speaker 1: week and a half ago for Eli Harold and he's

1596
01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:55,519
Speaker 1: played everywhere tackle, guards, center. Look, a guy like that

1597
01:17:55,680 --> 01:17:58,960
Speaker 1: could give you so much flexibility, the kind of flexibility

1598
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:00,920
Speaker 1: you kind of get from Police Siano, who can play

1599
01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:04,040
Speaker 1: any one of the interior offensive line spots. Right, A

1600
01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:07,200
Speaker 1: guy like Ryan Bates could being interesting, Steve, I do too,

1601
01:18:07,400 --> 01:18:11,599
Speaker 1: particularly since he's taken snaps and he's played tackle, both tackles. Yeah,

1602
01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:14,400
Speaker 1: he can play interior, he can play all five spots.

1603
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:18,559
Speaker 1: Those guys are you know, gold, they're gold if they're good. Yeah,

1604
01:18:18,960 --> 01:18:21,479
Speaker 1: you know, and he's a rookie, hasn't How good is he?

1605
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:24,320
Speaker 1: That's the question. We may he may be the guy

1606
01:18:24,360 --> 01:18:28,479
Speaker 1: that plays. Maybe he goes in at f Inseci with

1607
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:30,320
Speaker 1: the with the ones this week, Let's see how good

1608
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:32,479
Speaker 1: you are, kid, you know what I mean, goes next

1609
01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:34,439
Speaker 1: to Cody Ford and they go, you know, the two rookies.

1610
01:18:34,479 --> 01:18:37,880
Speaker 1: We'll see. But obviously they gotta find somebody and they

1611
01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:39,920
Speaker 1: need it. I think they need one more tackle before

1612
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:41,680
Speaker 1: they feel good of going forward, and then maybe they

1613
01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:44,000
Speaker 1: do have some tough, tough decisions to make. Another one

1614
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:46,639
Speaker 1: from the tweet sheet about offensive line r ND Bills fan,

1615
01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:49,640
Speaker 1: I say offensive line is the most open, as they

1616
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:52,120
Speaker 1: have so many guys that can play different positions with

1617
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,800
Speaker 1: exception to Mitch. You have about seven guys battling for

1618
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:58,559
Speaker 1: three spots. As it looks now, you can't go wrong

1619
01:18:58,680 --> 01:19:01,000
Speaker 1: with whatever players they end up choosing. I hope they

1620
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:03,320
Speaker 1: can't go wrong. Of a feeling you could go wrong,

1621
01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:06,560
Speaker 1: just because that's one way to look at it. You

1622
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:08,360
Speaker 1: can't go wrong. I don't know. I hope, I hope

1623
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:11,200
Speaker 1: that's the case. I think you could go wrong. Yeah,

1624
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:15,839
Speaker 1: they're drastically better, more talented up front on the offensive

1625
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:18,040
Speaker 1: line than they were last year at this time. That's right,

1626
01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:20,200
Speaker 1: they were in that sense, they can't go wrong. They

1627
01:19:20,240 --> 01:19:22,800
Speaker 1: weren't good enough last year. So and this last one

1628
01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:25,519
Speaker 1: from Ryan from the tweet sheet tight end. There was

1629
01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:29,080
Speaker 1: a discussion about Duke and his size type, but athletic

1630
01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:31,840
Speaker 1: tight ends like Croom six five two twenty three can

1631
01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:34,639
Speaker 1: serve that role when he's healthy. So we could see

1632
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:37,680
Speaker 1: those bottom wide receiver spots pushed over to the tight end,

1633
01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:41,880
Speaker 1: which has a little has very little clarity because of

1634
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:43,760
Speaker 1: the injuries that have happened to the tight end. So,

1635
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:46,840
Speaker 1: and that's a question too, because you get down to

1636
01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:48,680
Speaker 1: the bottom of these positions group, you get down to

1637
01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:50,960
Speaker 1: the bottom of the wide receiver crew, Murph, you get

1638
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:53,080
Speaker 1: down to the bottom of the tight end crew, you

1639
01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:55,080
Speaker 1: get down to the bottom of the of the offensive

1640
01:19:55,120 --> 01:19:58,439
Speaker 1: line crew. Even but certainly the tight ends, the running backs,

1641
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 1: and the wide receivers, the bottoms of those depth chart

1642
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:08,720
Speaker 1: positions are special team spots. But you also don't want

1643
01:20:08,720 --> 01:20:11,439
Speaker 1: to just go bereft of talent. If that's so, if

1644
01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:13,920
Speaker 1: you know how much you're willing to give, where's the

1645
01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:16,880
Speaker 1: balance And those are the specific nuances that we really

1646
01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:19,080
Speaker 1: don't know. So do you just say, hey, listen, we're

1647
01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:22,759
Speaker 1: only gonna go with five wideouts at this game? Wide

1648
01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:25,599
Speaker 1: out but we're gonna take five tight ends too, because

1649
01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:27,880
Speaker 1: we've got two guys that can really go on special teams.

1650
01:20:28,320 --> 01:20:30,760
Speaker 1: Or vice versay. You might go, we're gonna go three

1651
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:35,439
Speaker 1: running backs today, and we're gonna go with six wideouts

1652
01:20:35,479 --> 01:20:37,840
Speaker 1: and six six tight ends. All of that stuff is

1653
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:40,320
Speaker 1: on the table when you start talking about special teams

1654
01:20:40,360 --> 01:20:43,040
Speaker 1: and what you can do on a given Sunday to

1655
01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:47,160
Speaker 1: give yourself the best chance to win. How those special

1656
01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:49,400
Speaker 1: teams players and what their skill sets are and how

1657
01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:53,080
Speaker 1: they fall. You know, we don't know. Heath Farwell decides that,

1658
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:57,680
Speaker 1: you know, Brian Dabole decides that. Sean McDermott decides that,

1659
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:01,640
Speaker 1: and it could change from week to week. But you

1660
01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:03,840
Speaker 1: gotta have all those guys available on your active roster

1661
01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:06,479
Speaker 1: to see where it goes. Yeah. Hey, when we come

1662
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:09,599
Speaker 1: back after this break, there's a post on ESPN dot

1663
01:21:09,640 --> 01:21:13,640
Speaker 1: com today ranking NFL coaches who could get fired with

1664
01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:18,280
Speaker 1: disastrous seasons. Sean McDermott number one on that list. We'll

1665
01:21:18,320 --> 01:21:21,880
Speaker 1: talk about that when we come back, and they have methodology,

1666
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:24,960
Speaker 1: they made their case, we'll talk about it. It's One

1667
01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:27,519
Speaker 1: Goes Live presented by Kalida Health from One Bill's Drive

1668
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:42,479
Speaker 1: and This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome Back One Goes Live.

1669
01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:44,639
Speaker 1: I'm John Murphy, the Steve Tasker. We're here until three

1670
01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:46,840
Speaker 1: o'clock today. Coming up, in the third and final hour

1671
01:21:46,840 --> 01:21:49,439
Speaker 1: of the show, we'll hear from Tremaine Edmonds after practice

1672
01:21:49,439 --> 01:21:51,720
Speaker 1: as he addressed to the media, and fullback Pat de

1673
01:21:51,760 --> 01:21:54,799
Speaker 1: Marco's coming into the studio. Steve, this was on ESPN

1674
01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:57,360
Speaker 1: dot com today and it got the headline, got your attention,

1675
01:21:57,439 --> 01:21:58,880
Speaker 1: and then when you saw how they ranked him and

1676
01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:00,760
Speaker 1: got my attention, and then when you read it, you

1677
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:04,840
Speaker 1: think it's just stupid that ranking NFL coaches who could

1678
01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:08,160
Speaker 1: get fired with disastrous seasons. First of all, the premise

1679
01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:11,439
Speaker 1: is you give everybody a four win season, four and twelve,

1680
01:22:11,479 --> 01:22:13,960
Speaker 1: that's a bad season. And they're trying to find out

1681
01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:17,439
Speaker 1: which NFL head coaches are sitting on the hottest seats

1682
01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:20,200
Speaker 1: going into this season. They say, we're not predicting which

1683
01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:23,839
Speaker 1: coaches will be fired. That involves other factors. We're predicting

1684
01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:26,559
Speaker 1: if you're four and twelve, who's got the hot seat, right,

1685
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:29,479
Speaker 1: And that's four and twelve with no sign you know,

1686
01:22:29,960 --> 01:22:32,680
Speaker 1: with no contacts, with no contacts, with no contact like

1687
01:22:32,840 --> 01:22:36,360
Speaker 1: your quarterback got hurt or whatever. There was a bus

1688
01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:39,320
Speaker 1: crash or something, right, I mean there's nothing, there's no contact.

1689
01:22:39,320 --> 01:22:41,479
Speaker 1: If you go four and twelve and you're completely healthy,

1690
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:48,160
Speaker 1: your coach is gonna get fired. Yeah. Sean McDermott is

1691
01:22:48,160 --> 01:22:51,040
Speaker 1: the number one ranked coach at seventy three percent chance

1692
01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:53,360
Speaker 1: of being fired. According to this, and this is from

1693
01:22:53,400 --> 01:22:56,599
Speaker 1: the ESPN analytics people. They say, if a four win

1694
01:22:56,720 --> 01:22:59,519
Speaker 1: season for the Bills, there's a seventy three percent chance

1695
01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:02,280
Speaker 1: would be fired. And they do it. They supposedly do

1696
01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:04,360
Speaker 1: it mathematically. One of the things the points that they

1697
01:23:04,479 --> 01:23:06,160
Speaker 1: use as one of their points is if if the

1698
01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:09,920
Speaker 1: general manager didn't hire you, that means you're more likely

1699
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:13,640
Speaker 1: to be let go by that general manager. What's different here,

1700
01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:20,360
Speaker 1: McDermott helped hire the general manager. That's he recommended him.

1701
01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:23,200
Speaker 1: He's the guy. Whatever. Here's what Brian Burke, he just

1702
01:23:23,360 --> 01:23:26,960
Speaker 1: keeps saying whatever. Here's what Brian Burke wrote about this.

1703
01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:29,280
Speaker 1: A four win season for the Bills would mean two

1704
01:23:29,400 --> 01:23:32,839
Speaker 1: consecutive years of steady decline. After the first playoff appearance

1705
01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:36,759
Speaker 1: in nearly in generation, which was mcdermot's first, young quarterbacks

1706
01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:39,559
Speaker 1: expected to make a significant jump in their second full season,

1707
01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:42,320
Speaker 1: So if the Bills offense stumbles, much of that blame

1708
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:44,840
Speaker 1: probably would be lead at the foot of the feet

1709
01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:47,439
Speaker 1: of the coaching staff, not Josh Allen. Look all right,

1710
01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:51,400
Speaker 1: they made their case. Doug Marrone his second, Brian Florence's third,

1711
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:55,960
Speaker 1: Mike Graybow, Mike Zimmer, I get it. This is just

1712
01:23:56,080 --> 01:23:59,640
Speaker 1: a time filler. I'm done with this, Steve, It's just

1713
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:02,080
Speaker 1: the time. Look. Yeah, if they win four or less,

1714
01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:04,720
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott will be called into question. No, there's no

1715
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:08,120
Speaker 1: doubt about that. Everybody will. They're just trying to fill time, right, Yeah,

1716
01:24:08,160 --> 01:24:10,479
Speaker 1: they're waiting. They got seventeen days, so I started the

1717
01:24:10,479 --> 01:24:12,800
Speaker 1: regular season. We won't have to read that stuff anymow. No,

1718
01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:15,599
Speaker 1: I just it's stupid, you know, And I always get

1719
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:18,880
Speaker 1: I guess I get upset in the course of the

1720
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:21,280
Speaker 1: year when or even before a season starts. Who's on

1721
01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:23,880
Speaker 1: the coaching hot seat? Well, who cares? Let's let the

1722
01:24:23,920 --> 01:24:27,800
Speaker 1: season play out. You know, there's like a sub there's

1723
01:24:27,840 --> 01:24:31,160
Speaker 1: like almost a fan base that only follows the coaching moves,

1724
01:24:31,200 --> 01:24:33,240
Speaker 1: like who's on the hot seat, Who's gonna get fired?

1725
01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:35,559
Speaker 1: A seat? Is this seat? Get not that lost? Maybe

1726
01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:37,280
Speaker 1: he's in trouble now and his fans just look forward

1727
01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 1: to that first Monday after the end of the regular

1728
01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:42,639
Speaker 1: season when all those coaches and their assistants get dismissed

1729
01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:45,360
Speaker 1: and they think it's, you know, Super Bowl Sunday. It's not,

1730
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:48,320
Speaker 1: but they feel like they're somehow smarter than everybody else

1731
01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:50,959
Speaker 1: because they saw it coming or predicted it in August.

1732
01:24:51,560 --> 01:24:54,040
Speaker 1: There's a stupid thing for a week for I agree,

1733
01:24:54,520 --> 01:24:58,680
Speaker 1: I agree, I M yeah, I'm I'm. That's not where

1734
01:24:58,720 --> 01:25:00,639
Speaker 1: I live my life. He neither to be honest, that's

1735
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:02,479
Speaker 1: not where the show goes either. I don't know why

1736
01:25:02,520 --> 01:25:04,439
Speaker 1: we just went there our question of the day because

1737
01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:06,840
Speaker 1: we're waiting on practice over. We want, we want, we want,

1738
01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:09,320
Speaker 1: we want. Tremaine Edmonds is coming up to the podium.

1739
01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:11,000
Speaker 1: We know he's gonna show up. We're gonna get him

1740
01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:13,960
Speaker 1: down from him. Yeah, we're gonna have Pad Demorco on

1741
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:17,840
Speaker 1: the show in a minute, and we we Yeah, So

1742
01:25:18,320 --> 01:25:20,679
Speaker 1: we just gave ourselves a minute to wait on those

1743
01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:24,760
Speaker 1: guys for that to happen. So and I I still

1744
01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:28,639
Speaker 1: like we had this Twitter bull we've got going about

1745
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:32,160
Speaker 1: what's the most what was it most not intriguing, not

1746
01:25:32,320 --> 01:25:35,000
Speaker 1: in right? What is it? What we how do we

1747
01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:39,280
Speaker 1: phrase it? Because we had which to fight, which position

1748
01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:42,639
Speaker 1: group on the bills most wide open open? How would

1749
01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:45,519
Speaker 1: and we change it from what position group on the

1750
01:25:45,600 --> 01:25:48,680
Speaker 1: bills offense is the most intriguing? And we didn't know

1751
01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:52,160
Speaker 1: if intriguing left it too ambiguous? Right, that's what I said.

1752
01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:54,400
Speaker 1: It's what you said. You said, which one's most wide open?

1753
01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:59,240
Speaker 1: So there we go. So we put it that way

1754
01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:01,639
Speaker 1: and we got some response that we did. We didn't

1755
01:26:01,640 --> 01:26:04,160
Speaker 1: put offense on there either, did we? We did? Did we?

1756
01:26:04,320 --> 01:26:05,640
Speaker 1: Is that on the Twitter poll? Is just not on

1757
01:26:05,720 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 1: our tweet sheet? Here? Right? Okay, good, here's a call

1758
01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:11,320
Speaker 1: from Jimmy and conquered North Carolina and answer to this question. Jimmy,

1759
01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:14,840
Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air, Hey, Murphy, Steve Um.

1760
01:26:15,479 --> 01:26:17,439
Speaker 1: You know, I want to talk about the Twitter pole,

1761
01:26:17,439 --> 01:26:19,160
Speaker 1: real clip, but I want to talk about a race

1762
01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:22,960
Speaker 1: that's even more wide open, and that's Steve Paster going

1763
01:26:23,040 --> 01:26:25,920
Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame. Boom. You know, I think

1764
01:26:25,960 --> 01:26:27,920
Speaker 1: that Steve was playing today. He would have been one

1765
01:26:27,960 --> 01:26:31,479
Speaker 1: of those hundred kinds, you know, Juliette Edelman, Cole Beasley,

1766
01:26:31,560 --> 01:26:34,120
Speaker 1: types Um and I think that Mark just wanted to

1767
01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:36,680
Speaker 1: save him to be a gunner, but I do think

1768
01:26:36,720 --> 01:26:38,880
Speaker 1: that there was some opportunity there in either way. Steve,

1769
01:26:38,960 --> 01:26:40,200
Speaker 1: I think you should be in the Hall of Fame.

1770
01:26:40,240 --> 01:26:42,360
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to get that out of the way. Okay,

1771
01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:46,519
Speaker 1: do you have any important to talk about. I'm sorry, Jimmy,

1772
01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:48,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to bust your chops.

1773
01:26:48,160 --> 01:26:51,600
Speaker 1: Thank you. I appreciate it. I appreciate it. Thanks, you know,

1774
01:26:51,680 --> 01:26:53,639
Speaker 1: I do. I do want to talk about the Twitter pole.

1775
01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:57,240
Speaker 1: Go ahead. I do agree the tight end position is open,

1776
01:26:57,479 --> 01:27:00,160
Speaker 1: but I think that people are really overlooked in the

1777
01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:03,799
Speaker 1: running back spot. Um. I don't think that Lashawn McCoy

1778
01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:05,960
Speaker 1: will be on the opening day roster, which is a

1779
01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:09,040
Speaker 1: big part of that Murph. I know that you think

1780
01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:11,040
Speaker 1: a lot of his struggles were due to the offensive

1781
01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:14,760
Speaker 1: line and are expecting a big bounce back, but you know,

1782
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:17,040
Speaker 1: with my two eyes last year, I just saw that

1783
01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:19,440
Speaker 1: he didn't play well, and he didn't look as explosive.

1784
01:27:19,479 --> 01:27:22,360
Speaker 1: He didn't accelerate this fast, he didn't change's direction as fast,

1785
01:27:22,479 --> 01:27:25,240
Speaker 1: and you know, we've got a young guy who's just

1786
01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:27,799
Speaker 1: drafted in the third round Shady's cot in the seveno

1787
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:30,559
Speaker 1: the year. You can say we have the money, it's

1788
01:27:30,600 --> 01:27:33,120
Speaker 1: not a big deal, why get rid of him? But

1789
01:27:33,880 --> 01:27:35,800
Speaker 1: you know that money rolls over into the next year.

1790
01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:37,320
Speaker 1: We don't know what it could be used for. In

1791
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:40,519
Speaker 1: this front office isn't in business of making shrewd moves,

1792
01:27:41,400 --> 01:27:42,880
Speaker 1: and I think that would be one. So I'll leave

1793
01:27:42,920 --> 01:27:44,759
Speaker 1: you with that. Thanks for taking my call for all right, Jimmy,

1794
01:27:44,840 --> 01:27:47,880
Speaker 1: And let me just say, um, yeah, I do think

1795
01:27:48,400 --> 01:27:51,160
Speaker 1: I watched mcqoite closely, and I watched the video closely

1796
01:27:51,280 --> 01:27:54,080
Speaker 1: over the last few days about of Lashawan in the

1797
01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:56,840
Speaker 1: in the Carolina game, and didn't see much evidence. He

1798
01:27:56,920 --> 01:27:58,479
Speaker 1: only had a couple of carries. And I don't know.

1799
01:27:58,760 --> 01:28:01,559
Speaker 1: I'm really eager to see two things, how McCoy looks

1800
01:28:01,600 --> 01:28:04,080
Speaker 1: and number two, how they line up at running back,

1801
01:28:04,120 --> 01:28:07,760
Speaker 1: how they portioned out those snaps. They have said consistently

1802
01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:10,519
Speaker 1: that McCoy is their number one now when they line

1803
01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:12,400
Speaker 1: up in two and a half weeks against the Jets,

1804
01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:15,599
Speaker 1: I anticipate that'll be the case, but I'm not I'm

1805
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:18,000
Speaker 1: not convinced. I'm not sold that that'll be the case. Steve.

1806
01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:20,400
Speaker 1: Anything can happen There's only one question to be answered.

1807
01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:23,160
Speaker 1: What's that? Do you think the Buffalo Bills will be

1808
01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:28,160
Speaker 1: better with Leshawn McCoy or without him? Because this coaching staff,

1809
01:28:29,560 --> 01:28:32,240
Speaker 1: if the numbers are right, which was they've spent two

1810
01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:35,439
Speaker 1: years getting the numbers right financially, if the numbers work,

1811
01:28:36,160 --> 01:28:38,960
Speaker 1: are they better with Leshawn or without him? That's the

1812
01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:41,840
Speaker 1: only question that has to be answered. If they're better

1813
01:28:41,960 --> 01:28:43,920
Speaker 1: with him, you can bet he's going to be on

1814
01:28:44,040 --> 01:28:47,360
Speaker 1: this team on opening day. If you think they'll be

1815
01:28:47,439 --> 01:28:51,320
Speaker 1: a worse football to forget about the balance sheet. If

1816
01:28:51,400 --> 01:28:54,200
Speaker 1: you think they'll be better with Leshawn McCoy on the team,

1817
01:28:54,600 --> 01:28:57,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna be there. If they can for Steve Well,

1818
01:28:57,960 --> 01:29:00,400
Speaker 1: I think I think Leshaun McCoy makes them better than

1819
01:29:00,479 --> 01:29:02,320
Speaker 1: they would be without him. You think they'd be better

1820
01:29:02,439 --> 01:29:11,519
Speaker 1: with with Frank Devin TJ. Marcus Murphy or Lashawn, Devn

1821
01:29:11,720 --> 01:29:15,080
Speaker 1: Frank and whoever? You know what I mean? Well, that's

1822
01:29:15,120 --> 01:29:17,479
Speaker 1: the question. I mean, that's really to me, that's the question.

1823
01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:20,360
Speaker 1: I don't think they right now that they're not worried

1824
01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:23,559
Speaker 1: about the budget, they're worried about winning games. They think

1825
01:29:23,600 --> 01:29:25,920
Speaker 1: they can be I think they think they can be

1826
01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:29,519
Speaker 1: really good this year. If they're better with a guy,

1827
01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:32,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna have that guy on the team. That's all.

1828
01:29:32,800 --> 01:29:35,800
Speaker 1: That's the bottle. They think they're better with Shady as

1829
01:29:35,880 --> 01:29:38,720
Speaker 1: opposed to Devin Singletary or Frank Porter. Well, they don't

1830
01:29:38,720 --> 01:29:41,639
Speaker 1: have to cut either of those guys, that's right. See.

1831
01:29:41,680 --> 01:29:43,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they're better with Leshan than without.

1832
01:29:43,800 --> 01:29:45,519
Speaker 1: Somebody's not going to see the field if all three

1833
01:29:45,560 --> 01:29:50,880
Speaker 1: are there, right t J. Yelden Those top three, Yeah, okay,

1834
01:29:50,960 --> 01:29:53,320
Speaker 1: I think those top three. I think those are the

1835
01:29:53,360 --> 01:29:55,479
Speaker 1: guys they want to go into the year with. They've

1836
01:29:55,520 --> 01:29:58,559
Speaker 1: said it. I think they believe it, and I'm going

1837
01:29:58,600 --> 01:30:00,400
Speaker 1: with that. I think they believe they're going to be

1838
01:30:00,479 --> 01:30:03,880
Speaker 1: better with Lashawn than without him. That's that's the only

1839
01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:06,760
Speaker 1: question that needs to be answered. And everybody on the fan,

1840
01:30:06,880 --> 01:30:09,519
Speaker 1: I get the fans, you know, they you know, they

1841
01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:13,280
Speaker 1: think eight or the eight point whatever a million dollars

1842
01:30:13,360 --> 01:30:15,439
Speaker 1: hit he's given them on the salary cap and they'll

1843
01:30:15,479 --> 01:30:17,599
Speaker 1: save like six point three I think on the cap

1844
01:30:17,680 --> 01:30:21,559
Speaker 1: if they cut him. They think that's a huge factor

1845
01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:23,519
Speaker 1: in him making the team. And I think the big

1846
01:30:23,640 --> 01:30:26,320
Speaker 1: the only factor that makes sense that has any weight

1847
01:30:26,439 --> 01:30:29,040
Speaker 1: with his coaching staff is the one I've just said,

1848
01:30:29,280 --> 01:30:31,880
Speaker 1: are they better with him or without him? Do you

1849
01:30:31,960 --> 01:30:34,479
Speaker 1: think they have that answer now? I think they believe

1850
01:30:34,520 --> 01:30:37,559
Speaker 1: they're better with him. I think we'll see. We'll see. Yeah,

1851
01:30:37,560 --> 01:30:39,519
Speaker 1: we may they may not. They may not. That may

1852
01:30:39,640 --> 01:30:41,920
Speaker 1: change or that may have changed. I think they're still

1853
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:45,639
Speaker 1: in the information gathering. Yeah, they might see a little

1854
01:30:45,640 --> 01:30:47,760
Speaker 1: more shitty. Let's see a little more of Gore, Let's

1855
01:30:47,760 --> 01:30:49,320
Speaker 1: see a little think. I think they really want to

1856
01:30:49,360 --> 01:30:52,280
Speaker 1: see more of Devin t J and Marcus Murphy and

1857
01:30:52,400 --> 01:30:55,400
Speaker 1: those guys. I think they don't know and Marcus Murphy

1858
01:30:55,400 --> 01:30:57,800
Speaker 1: are factor because I don't Thinklashawn McCoy's gonna change too much.

1859
01:30:57,840 --> 01:30:59,720
Speaker 1: I don't think Frank Gore's gonna change too much. I

1860
01:30:59,800 --> 01:31:01,840
Speaker 1: think they know about those guys. It's what like, are

1861
01:31:01,920 --> 01:31:05,679
Speaker 1: we better with them rather than shady? That's the only question.

1862
01:31:05,840 --> 01:31:07,400
Speaker 1: The only thing I would caution you, and I don't

1863
01:31:07,400 --> 01:31:10,400
Speaker 1: want to get into semantics here, but don't have in

1864
01:31:10,479 --> 01:31:12,840
Speaker 1: your mind what McCoy was, You know what I mean?

1865
01:31:12,880 --> 01:31:15,720
Speaker 1: That's right, Yeah, I totally be confused by what he was.

1866
01:31:15,800 --> 01:31:18,839
Speaker 1: I get you. That would be something I would guard against.

1867
01:31:19,360 --> 01:31:21,240
Speaker 1: One more call before the top of the hour, Scott

1868
01:31:21,320 --> 01:31:24,559
Speaker 1: in Charlotte. Go ahead, Scott, you're on the air with this. Hey,

1869
01:31:24,600 --> 01:31:26,960
Speaker 1: thanks guys for taking my call. Uh. I appreciated the

1870
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:29,000
Speaker 1: Bills talk down here in Charlotte's No great, Yeah, it

1871
01:31:29,040 --> 01:31:31,960
Speaker 1: was good to be down there. Awesome. Uh. Sorry. A

1872
01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:35,680
Speaker 1: couple quick questions and kind of based on the Twitter Bowl. UM,

1873
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:38,679
Speaker 1: now with Mitch morseback, do you think the right side

1874
01:31:38,720 --> 01:31:41,439
Speaker 1: of the line would be better with Ford and like

1875
01:31:41,640 --> 01:31:46,080
Speaker 1: Feliciano or would it be Niseki and forward? And my

1876
01:31:46,280 --> 01:31:50,200
Speaker 1: second question would be um more along the defensive line, um,

1877
01:31:50,400 --> 01:31:53,760
Speaker 1: the defensive M position, the second the second line. I

1878
01:31:53,840 --> 01:31:56,479
Speaker 1: think we got some kind of underrated studs in the

1879
01:31:56,600 --> 01:32:00,719
Speaker 1: making with Darryl Johnston and Mike Love and Shack Lawson

1880
01:32:00,800 --> 01:32:04,400
Speaker 1: obviously has a year to proved, but also the interior

1881
01:32:04,479 --> 01:32:07,680
Speaker 1: with the Phillips, both the Phillips UM, I think they

1882
01:32:07,720 --> 01:32:10,960
Speaker 1: could start along the and on a different team along

1883
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:13,439
Speaker 1: the around the league. So I think we have a

1884
01:32:13,560 --> 01:32:15,559
Speaker 1: very solid backup group as well. I just want your

1885
01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:20,680
Speaker 1: opinions on kind of those kind of okivet that yeah,

1886
01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:23,679
Speaker 1: we can already gave you Yeah, afford it right, Garden

1887
01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:25,840
Speaker 1: and se right, Yeah, and here's this mine, and I

1888
01:32:25,960 --> 01:32:27,960
Speaker 1: kind of agree with Murph on that because here's the thing.

1889
01:32:28,040 --> 01:32:30,880
Speaker 1: Mitch tian Secki came into the to the Bills. The

1890
01:32:30,960 --> 01:32:35,639
Speaker 1: Bill signed him, and he was widely regarded by football

1891
01:32:35,680 --> 01:32:39,559
Speaker 1: people and analytics people as really the best guy out

1892
01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:43,439
Speaker 1: there who could play both tackle positions. He's athletic enough,

1893
01:32:43,479 --> 01:32:45,880
Speaker 1: he's big enough, he has enough skill, and he's shown

1894
01:32:46,280 --> 01:32:48,960
Speaker 1: the ability to play both tackle positions at a high level.

1895
01:32:49,760 --> 01:32:52,200
Speaker 1: That's why I think maybe they're better with him out

1896
01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:56,559
Speaker 1: there and Cody Ford inside, rather than putting Cody Ford

1897
01:32:56,600 --> 01:32:59,360
Speaker 1: out at right tackle, which he could play, and putting

1898
01:32:59,439 --> 01:33:04,720
Speaker 1: Felice And I don't I think if just strictly from reputation,

1899
01:33:05,439 --> 01:33:08,240
Speaker 1: I think Insecki's a better tackle than Feliciano is a

1900
01:33:08,320 --> 01:33:12,080
Speaker 1: guard that may be really close razor thin, or it

1901
01:33:12,160 --> 01:33:15,240
Speaker 1: may be untrue. I don't know, but by reputation, that's

1902
01:33:15,320 --> 01:33:17,400
Speaker 1: kind of what we've perceived doing the show and listen

1903
01:33:17,439 --> 01:33:19,680
Speaker 1: to people and all the guys we've interviewed, tie and

1904
01:33:19,720 --> 01:33:23,080
Speaker 1: Secki came in as a more highly rated prospect even

1905
01:33:23,120 --> 01:33:26,680
Speaker 1: at his advanced age of thirty, than John Feliciano did

1906
01:33:26,800 --> 01:33:30,320
Speaker 1: or Spencer Long did. Being signed as free agents, right am,

1907
01:33:30,360 --> 01:33:34,720
Speaker 1: I yeah, defensive ends. Yeah, there's some good young talent there.

1908
01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:37,040
Speaker 1: What do you think I agree with him? I think

1909
01:33:37,080 --> 01:33:39,599
Speaker 1: that's I think that's this is a defense that's deep.

1910
01:33:40,120 --> 01:33:42,160
Speaker 1: I think they really feel good about their eight guys,

1911
01:33:42,200 --> 01:33:44,519
Speaker 1: and now with Darryl Johnson playing the way he has,

1912
01:33:44,760 --> 01:33:47,280
Speaker 1: I think they feel feel really good about nine deep

1913
01:33:48,840 --> 01:33:51,800
Speaker 1: and down inside. You're right, the Phillips Brothers, for lack

1914
01:33:51,840 --> 01:33:56,160
Speaker 1: of a better way, Jordan Phillips, Harrison Phillips, they're playing good. Uh,

1915
01:33:56,560 --> 01:34:00,840
Speaker 1: they really are. I think they've got some other guys behind.

1916
01:34:00,960 --> 01:34:04,000
Speaker 1: Roderick Young, Kyle Peco Lt Walton is to me an

1917
01:34:04,040 --> 01:34:07,320
Speaker 1: intriguing guy because he's so big. He is a big dude.

1918
01:34:08,200 --> 01:34:11,519
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips is a really big dude. And I think

1919
01:34:11,720 --> 01:34:13,800
Speaker 1: the fun part for me to think about is a

1920
01:34:13,840 --> 01:34:18,439
Speaker 1: guy like Jordan Phillips, who is a big, strong, first

1921
01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:22,000
Speaker 1: round kind of built guy. He's got all the measurables playing.

1922
01:34:22,400 --> 01:34:24,960
Speaker 1: He's just a massive dude playing behind a guy like

1923
01:34:27,240 --> 01:34:31,760
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver who is a smaller, undersized, explosive, quick guy.

1924
01:34:32,439 --> 01:34:34,920
Speaker 1: Two different kind of players who you can rotate in

1925
01:34:35,000 --> 01:34:38,280
Speaker 1: and out and gives an offensive line. You know, handful

1926
01:34:38,479 --> 01:34:41,360
Speaker 1: there he's they're a handful. It's a lot of fun,

1927
01:34:41,520 --> 01:34:44,280
Speaker 1: but they're very deep, There's no question about it. And

1928
01:34:44,400 --> 01:34:47,120
Speaker 1: I think they really like the way their defensive line

1929
01:34:47,200 --> 01:34:49,280
Speaker 1: is shaken out. They've got some tough decisions to make.

1930
01:34:49,520 --> 01:34:52,839
Speaker 1: How many guys are gonna keep Eddie Yarborough, Darryl Johnson

1931
01:34:53,120 --> 01:34:56,360
Speaker 1: and Shack Lawson even kind of go into a into

1932
01:34:56,479 --> 01:34:59,439
Speaker 1: a and Mike Love all go into this whirlpool of

1933
01:34:59,520 --> 01:35:01,599
Speaker 1: who the that second group is gonna be and who's

1934
01:35:01,600 --> 01:35:03,680
Speaker 1: gonna evolve out of it. But they're very deep, and

1935
01:35:03,720 --> 01:35:05,680
Speaker 1: they got some tough spots decision to make. And I

1936
01:35:05,720 --> 01:35:07,479
Speaker 1: don't know if I can give you a pecking order.

1937
01:35:07,720 --> 01:35:09,639
Speaker 1: Thanks very much, you're a call. Hey, we'll take a break,

01:36:27,360 --> 01:36:29,880
Speaker 1: of Michigan. He played in eight career games over his

1961
01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:33,439
Speaker 1: first two seasons in the NFL. Eric Magnusson started at

1962
01:36:33,439 --> 01:36:36,040
Speaker 1: both tackle spots in his rookie year. He's also played

1963
01:36:36,080 --> 01:36:39,240
Speaker 1: guard end center. Eric Magnusson signed to the roster on

1964
01:36:39,320 --> 01:36:41,240
Speaker 1: the practice field today to make room the Bills put

1965
01:36:41,479 --> 01:36:45,000
Speaker 1: tackle Garrett McGinn on injured reserve, and Tonio Brown has

1966
01:36:45,040 --> 01:36:48,120
Speaker 1: filed a new grievance over his helmet. The Oakland Raiders

1967
01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:50,839
Speaker 1: wide receiver says he did not have a full calendar

1968
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:53,400
Speaker 1: year grace period to find a helmet that worked for him.

1969
01:36:53,400 --> 01:36:57,120
Speaker 1: According to ESPN, Zekiel Elliott was not amused by owner

1970
01:36:57,240 --> 01:37:00,679
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones Zeke who quipped over the weekend he thought

1971
01:37:00,680 --> 01:37:03,600
Speaker 1: it was disrespectful. According to his agent, didn't think it

1972
01:37:03,680 --> 01:37:06,200
Speaker 1: was funny. Jones answered a question about Elliott after the

1973
01:37:06,280 --> 01:37:10,479
Speaker 1: Cowboys preseason game Saturday with Zeke who Forty nine Ers

1974
01:37:10,560 --> 01:37:13,360
Speaker 1: quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo went just one for six, zero yards

1975
01:37:13,400 --> 01:37:16,320
Speaker 1: and an interception last night, his first game since coming

1976
01:37:16,400 --> 01:37:20,040
Speaker 1: back from season injuring knee surgery last September. Baroppolo finished

1977
01:37:20,040 --> 01:37:22,760
Speaker 1: the night with a zero point zero passer rating. He

1978
01:37:22,800 --> 01:37:26,799
Speaker 1: says he's obviously frustrated Baker Mayfield surprised by the Giant's

1979
01:37:26,800 --> 01:37:29,639
Speaker 1: decision to draft quarterback Daniel Jones earlier this year. Blows

1980
01:37:29,680 --> 01:37:33,320
Speaker 1: my mind, he told GQ magazine in a wide ranging interview.

1981
01:37:33,560 --> 01:37:36,040
Speaker 1: And the Bisons had a no hitter last night. TJ

1982
01:37:36,360 --> 01:37:39,360
Speaker 1: Zoyt no hit the performance with the Bisons and there

1983
01:37:39,439 --> 01:37:42,479
Speaker 1: three to Nunthing win in Rochester. They play in Rochester

1984
01:37:42,600 --> 01:37:45,639
Speaker 1: again tonight at the seven oh five. Welcome to our

1985
01:37:45,720 --> 01:37:48,000
Speaker 1: three of the show, John Murphy and Steve Tasker in

1986
01:37:48,040 --> 01:37:49,880
Speaker 1: our one Buffalo studio. A couple of issues there in

1987
01:37:49,880 --> 01:37:52,960
Speaker 1: the update I want to get into with you here, Steve.

1988
01:37:53,680 --> 01:37:56,599
Speaker 1: Practice still going on, as we said justin Fort Mitche

1989
01:37:56,960 --> 01:38:01,400
Speaker 1: Morse remains in concussion protoco call and he could. I mean,

1990
01:38:01,439 --> 01:38:03,800
Speaker 1: he has participated in some drills over the last week

1991
01:38:03,880 --> 01:38:07,360
Speaker 1: or so, wildan concussion protocol, but still there according to

1992
01:38:07,479 --> 01:38:09,960
Speaker 1: reports we're getting from the practice field. So that's one thing.

1993
01:38:10,439 --> 01:38:13,120
Speaker 1: We'll see how that plays out. Whether he plays on Friday,

1994
01:38:13,800 --> 01:38:20,040
Speaker 1: progress I hope, so it has to happen. Baker Mayfield,

1995
01:38:20,080 --> 01:38:21,519
Speaker 1: can we talk about this for a minute, about the

1996
01:38:21,600 --> 01:38:25,680
Speaker 1: GQ article. Yeah, he told GQ that some people overthink it.

1997
01:38:25,760 --> 01:38:27,760
Speaker 1: That's where they go round. They forget you gotta win.

1998
01:38:27,840 --> 01:38:31,280
Speaker 1: He was shocked that the Giants drafted Daniel Jones. Blows

1999
01:38:31,400 --> 01:38:34,360
Speaker 1: my mind, he told the GQ. Now, Baker Mayfield speaks

2000
01:38:34,439 --> 01:38:37,519
Speaker 1: his mind. That's why many people like him. And he

2001
01:38:37,680 --> 01:38:40,040
Speaker 1: was not the consensus number one overall pick in twenty

2002
01:38:40,080 --> 01:38:42,519
Speaker 1: eighteen when he came out of Oklahoma, but he was

2003
01:38:42,600 --> 01:38:45,640
Speaker 1: the number one pick right went to the Browns. But

2004
01:38:45,800 --> 01:38:47,920
Speaker 1: you never hear that a player, even you know, the

2005
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:51,479
Speaker 1: same position player, kind of questioning another team's draft pick.

2006
01:38:51,560 --> 01:38:55,320
Speaker 1: I get why Baker Mayfield is popular. He's very, very,

2007
01:38:55,479 --> 01:38:57,840
Speaker 1: very good, but he doesn't have to mouth off like that,

2008
01:38:57,960 --> 01:39:00,720
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. Does he does? And I get

2009
01:39:00,800 --> 01:39:03,320
Speaker 1: it to Baker kind of is losing the benefit of

2010
01:39:03,320 --> 01:39:05,040
Speaker 1: the doubt, where you see a guy say something like that.

2011
01:39:05,200 --> 01:39:08,200
Speaker 1: Maybe the guy the reporter backed him into a corner

2012
01:39:08,320 --> 01:39:10,439
Speaker 1: and he's you know, tried to get out of it

2013
01:39:10,520 --> 01:39:12,880
Speaker 1: and had to keep answering that reanswering the same question

2014
01:39:12,960 --> 01:39:15,840
Speaker 1: and one of the answers came off bad. Baker kind

2015
01:39:15,880 --> 01:39:17,840
Speaker 1: of doesn't get that benefit of the doubt. He probably

2016
01:39:17,840 --> 01:39:21,000
Speaker 1: said it and probably means it. It's the same guy

2017
01:39:21,080 --> 01:39:25,320
Speaker 1: who turned his back on his own former head coach

2018
01:39:25,360 --> 01:39:27,200
Speaker 1: a week after he left. You know, of course that

2019
01:39:27,280 --> 01:39:29,240
Speaker 1: guy was fired and he and he ended up coaching

2020
01:39:29,280 --> 01:39:32,320
Speaker 1: against him the next week or two. I get that,

2021
01:39:32,479 --> 01:39:35,200
Speaker 1: But you know, Baker's never been shy about saying anything

2022
01:39:35,240 --> 01:39:38,680
Speaker 1: in the media, but he'll stand up and own it too.

2023
01:39:39,080 --> 01:39:41,280
Speaker 1: So he goes both ways, and good for him. If

2024
01:39:41,320 --> 01:39:44,360
Speaker 1: he really feels that about Daniel Jones, we'll see. Maybe

2025
01:39:44,439 --> 01:39:47,800
Speaker 1: he's right, But I think it does look bad to

2026
01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:50,360
Speaker 1: talk about another player and another team, particularly a kid

2027
01:39:50,400 --> 01:39:52,720
Speaker 1: who hasn't even made a roster yet or had a

2028
01:39:52,800 --> 01:39:56,679
Speaker 1: chance to play. The last thing I'm sure Baker Mayfield

2029
01:39:56,720 --> 01:39:58,880
Speaker 1: won was somebody piling on his head before he'd ever

2030
01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:01,120
Speaker 1: played a snap either. So well, that's the thing. He's

2031
01:40:01,160 --> 01:40:04,559
Speaker 1: not far removed from being a question. I mean, Baker

2032
01:40:04,640 --> 01:40:08,680
Speaker 1: Mayfield had a really good rookie year last year. Is

2033
01:40:08,680 --> 01:40:11,080
Speaker 1: he a made man in the NFL already that he

2034
01:40:11,120 --> 01:40:13,519
Speaker 1: can question other team's draft picks? I don't know. Apparently

2035
01:40:14,040 --> 01:40:17,320
Speaker 1: he thinks he is, is he? I don't know. They

2036
01:40:17,439 --> 01:40:19,280
Speaker 1: got a lot of high expectations when I mean, he's

2037
01:40:19,280 --> 01:40:21,559
Speaker 1: a big part of the reason why he played extremely

2038
01:40:21,600 --> 01:40:22,920
Speaker 1: well in the second half of the season. He can

2039
01:40:22,960 --> 01:40:25,720
Speaker 1: say what he wants, you know. I just you know,

2040
01:40:26,320 --> 01:40:27,720
Speaker 1: like I've said, like I said earlier the show, I

2041
01:40:27,720 --> 01:40:29,599
Speaker 1: don't live my life there, you know. I'm I can't

2042
01:40:29,680 --> 01:40:31,720
Speaker 1: talk about guys like that and not give it a

2043
01:40:31,760 --> 01:40:36,160
Speaker 1: second thought. And I guess maybe he can. Obviously right,

2044
01:40:36,320 --> 01:40:38,600
Speaker 1: he can. Hey, one guy. We haven't talked much about this.

2045
01:40:39,439 --> 01:40:42,840
Speaker 1: This training camp, this preseason has been Trent Murphy for

2046
01:40:42,880 --> 01:40:44,840
Speaker 1: the Bills, And it's funny. We got a couple of

2047
01:40:44,960 --> 01:40:46,920
Speaker 1: it's not funny. We have a couple of interesting comments

2048
01:40:46,960 --> 01:40:49,800
Speaker 1: on Trent Murphy from the Bills coaching staff. Today, Leslie

2049
01:40:49,840 --> 01:40:53,360
Speaker 1: Frazer was asked this question, what difference do you see

2050
01:40:53,520 --> 01:40:56,320
Speaker 1: from Trent Murphy now as opposed to where he was

2051
01:40:56,360 --> 01:40:58,640
Speaker 1: a year ago coming off a serious knee surgery. What

2052
01:40:58,840 --> 01:41:00,800
Speaker 1: kind of difference do you see with Trent Murphy. Here's

2053
01:41:00,800 --> 01:41:04,559
Speaker 1: what Leslie Frazier had to say today. I think it's

2054
01:41:04,560 --> 01:41:09,120
Speaker 1: been been a huge difference. You think back to a

2055
01:41:09,320 --> 01:41:12,200
Speaker 1: season ago where you know he'd missed so much time

2056
01:41:12,280 --> 01:41:14,519
Speaker 1: to training camp, missed a lot of the off season

2057
01:41:15,360 --> 01:41:17,280
Speaker 1: just because of the rehabit injury and not being one

2058
01:41:17,360 --> 01:41:19,880
Speaker 1: hundred percent. And you see his play down that sack

2059
01:41:19,920 --> 01:41:21,840
Speaker 1: he had the other night on fourth down. That was

2060
01:41:22,280 --> 01:41:23,720
Speaker 1: a big time play for us. And that's that's what

2061
01:41:23,800 --> 01:41:25,840
Speaker 1: we're looking for, and that's what we expected when we

2062
01:41:25,920 --> 01:41:31,040
Speaker 1: signed him. And you know, his aggressiveness, his speed, his tempo,

2063
01:41:31,160 --> 01:41:33,479
Speaker 1: everything is a little bit different now because he's more

2064
01:41:33,560 --> 01:41:35,479
Speaker 1: sure of himself, because of where he is in the

2065
01:41:35,560 --> 01:41:38,200
Speaker 1: process when it comes to his injury. So we're looking

2066
01:41:38,240 --> 01:41:40,680
Speaker 1: for big things from Trent this season, and so far,

2067
01:41:40,760 --> 01:41:42,519
Speaker 1: so good, and the way training camp has gone, all

2068
01:41:42,560 --> 01:41:45,920
Speaker 1: season program is gone for him and he's looking pretty good.

2069
01:41:46,680 --> 01:41:49,160
Speaker 1: Coaches have noticed that, Steve. I would say that I've

2070
01:41:49,200 --> 01:41:50,960
Speaker 1: noticed that. You probably have too. He seems like a

2071
01:41:51,080 --> 01:41:54,000
Speaker 1: changed man Trent Murphy, And he's right. That fourth down

2072
01:41:54,080 --> 01:41:56,200
Speaker 1: sack was a huge play last Friday night. The move

2073
01:41:56,280 --> 01:41:58,920
Speaker 1: he put on one the other night was a spin

2074
01:41:59,080 --> 01:42:02,680
Speaker 1: move that was unbelievably quick. It was really a move

2075
01:42:02,720 --> 01:42:04,680
Speaker 1: I don't know that he had in his repertoire last year,

2076
01:42:04,760 --> 01:42:07,080
Speaker 1: given the fact he's coming off that injury. It was

2077
01:42:07,120 --> 01:42:10,320
Speaker 1: a dynamite spin move. I was talking to the producer

2078
01:42:10,680 --> 01:42:12,400
Speaker 1: while the game was going on. They showed a quick

2079
01:42:12,439 --> 01:42:14,000
Speaker 1: replay of it, I think on the scoreboard or maybe

2080
01:42:14,080 --> 01:42:17,400
Speaker 1: on the replay or they were showing the quarterback or

2081
01:42:17,439 --> 01:42:19,800
Speaker 1: something else, and the spin move showed up, and I

2082
01:42:19,880 --> 01:42:22,439
Speaker 1: said that we got to replay that on the broadcast.

2083
01:42:22,479 --> 01:42:24,040
Speaker 1: We gotta get that back on later in the show.

2084
01:42:24,120 --> 01:42:25,880
Speaker 1: We never really got back to it to talk about

2085
01:42:25,920 --> 01:42:28,200
Speaker 1: that sack because so many other things happened in this game.

2086
01:42:29,400 --> 01:42:33,320
Speaker 1: But the move he put on on that sack was special.

2087
01:42:33,640 --> 01:42:36,080
Speaker 1: It was a really good move, very fast, spin move,

2088
01:42:36,160 --> 01:42:38,360
Speaker 1: come up. The offensive lineman had no chance. And I

2089
01:42:38,439 --> 01:42:40,560
Speaker 1: mentioned this too, one of the things that you know

2090
01:42:40,640 --> 01:42:42,760
Speaker 1: these guys, and we talked to Darryl Johnson yesterday. The

2091
01:42:42,880 --> 01:42:46,599
Speaker 1: thing that grabs you about these defensive line pass rushers

2092
01:42:47,479 --> 01:42:50,320
Speaker 1: isn't that they get there eventually, is that they win

2093
01:42:50,600 --> 01:42:52,920
Speaker 1: very fast and they're back there and the quarterback has

2094
01:42:52,960 --> 01:42:55,360
Speaker 1: got to deal with them in a half second. Those

2095
01:42:55,400 --> 01:42:57,240
Speaker 1: are the good pass rushers. It's not the guys who

2096
01:42:57,280 --> 01:42:59,599
Speaker 1: eventually kind of doggedly keep after it and they fall

2097
01:42:59,680 --> 01:43:01,479
Speaker 1: into it sag. It's when you win at the line

2098
01:43:01,520 --> 01:43:04,400
Speaker 1: of scrimmage right now and you're there, and that blows

2099
01:43:04,439 --> 01:43:07,559
Speaker 1: the play up, either for good or bad. So that's

2100
01:43:07,640 --> 01:43:09,680
Speaker 1: what he did on that pass rush, and it was

2101
01:43:10,479 --> 01:43:11,880
Speaker 1: it was a move like I don't think we saw

2102
01:43:11,960 --> 01:43:14,320
Speaker 1: him make last year. No, you didn't have the confidence

2103
01:43:14,360 --> 01:43:16,760
Speaker 1: to do a spin move. It appeared Trent Murphy had

2104
01:43:16,840 --> 01:43:19,840
Speaker 1: nine sacks three years ago twenty sixteen with Washington. The

2105
01:43:19,920 --> 01:43:23,000
Speaker 1: Bills would love it if he approached or got to

2106
01:43:23,080 --> 01:43:25,560
Speaker 1: double digit sacks this year. And I think this is

2107
01:43:25,600 --> 01:43:28,599
Speaker 1: worth noting too, in a preseason so far where check

2108
01:43:28,680 --> 01:43:32,000
Speaker 1: Lawson has been pretty good. Check Lawson cannot knock Trent

2109
01:43:32,120 --> 01:43:35,120
Speaker 1: Murphy out of the starting lineup right Lawson has not

2110
01:43:35,240 --> 01:43:37,960
Speaker 1: been able to supplant Trent Murphy out of the starting lineup.

2111
01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:40,280
Speaker 1: He's been good, He's been solid. Sean McDermot talked about

2112
01:43:40,280 --> 01:43:43,760
Speaker 1: it just the other day about Trent Murphy, and think

2113
01:43:43,800 --> 01:43:46,000
Speaker 1: he talked about it yesterday, right, Trent Murphy and the

2114
01:43:46,080 --> 01:43:48,240
Speaker 1: difference between the player he has now and the player

2115
01:43:48,320 --> 01:43:51,920
Speaker 1: he had a year ago. Here's what he said. Last year,

2116
01:43:52,000 --> 01:43:54,760
Speaker 1: we kind of coming off the knee and everything, we

2117
01:43:55,400 --> 01:43:57,680
Speaker 1: felt like we would anticipate in the type of year

2118
01:43:58,240 --> 01:44:00,320
Speaker 1: maybe that he would go through the challenges he would

2119
01:44:00,320 --> 01:44:04,360
Speaker 1: go through and um so um. Now, what we see

2120
01:44:04,400 --> 01:44:06,120
Speaker 1: now and what we saw when when he got back

2121
01:44:06,120 --> 01:44:09,519
Speaker 1: here in the spring was a was a player that

2122
01:44:09,640 --> 01:44:11,640
Speaker 1: had worked, you know, not that he didn't before, but

2123
01:44:11,720 --> 01:44:14,760
Speaker 1: he wasn't now this season thinking about just solely his knee.

2124
01:44:14,800 --> 01:44:17,160
Speaker 1: Now he's thinking about his whole body and he can

2125
01:44:17,240 --> 01:44:21,320
Speaker 1: focus with on himself with that in mind, as opposed

2126
01:44:21,320 --> 01:44:24,280
Speaker 1: to just one one area of his body. So he's

2127
01:44:24,280 --> 01:44:26,840
Speaker 1: more comfortable in the system. It appears as well. Um,

2128
01:44:26,920 --> 01:44:29,479
Speaker 1: he came from a different system than we have here,

2129
01:44:29,560 --> 01:44:31,720
Speaker 1: and UM he has been a great addition to our

2130
01:44:32,120 --> 01:44:35,160
Speaker 1: to our team, and UM he continues to grow and

2131
01:44:35,439 --> 01:44:38,320
Speaker 1: understanding his role in this defense and how you got

2132
01:44:38,400 --> 01:44:41,960
Speaker 1: to play. Maybe an overlooked benefit to keeping Trent Murphy

2133
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:44,559
Speaker 1: around giving him this next year with the knee fully heeled,

2134
01:44:44,880 --> 01:44:47,280
Speaker 1: you know who, body type and maybe even in style

2135
01:44:47,280 --> 01:44:49,360
Speaker 1: of place he kind of reminds me of sometimes is

2136
01:44:49,720 --> 01:44:52,759
Speaker 1: the rookies got a lot of the attention Bam Johnson

2137
01:44:52,880 --> 01:44:56,280
Speaker 1: up front. They're both extremely long armed, long leg guys

2138
01:44:56,360 --> 01:44:59,439
Speaker 1: who who'll hold the edge really good well. And Trent

2139
01:44:59,560 --> 01:45:02,120
Speaker 1: Murphy like Bam Johnson and shown can get after the

2140
01:45:02,160 --> 01:45:03,720
Speaker 1: passer a little bit too. I think it's been a

2141
01:45:03,760 --> 01:45:06,320
Speaker 1: really encouraging thing for this defense. It doesn't get a

2142
01:45:06,320 --> 01:45:09,400
Speaker 1: lot of attention this US inter You see Trent Murphy

2143
01:45:09,560 --> 01:45:12,519
Speaker 1: and we're talking to Darryl Johnson, Bam, we're talking to

2144
01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:15,559
Speaker 1: Bam Johnson yesterday. Interesting to me that both those guys

2145
01:45:15,600 --> 01:45:17,599
Speaker 1: strike me now is starting to get to know him,

2146
01:45:17,600 --> 01:45:21,519
Speaker 1: and certainly Bam Johnson's newer to the game, but Trent

2147
01:45:21,680 --> 01:45:25,880
Speaker 1: Murphy is he's a professional pass rusher, he doesn't just

2148
01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:28,280
Speaker 1: eat you know, I talked about the spin move. I've

2149
01:45:28,280 --> 01:45:32,000
Speaker 1: seen him do the low shoulder rip move, the bull rush.

2150
01:45:32,240 --> 01:45:34,639
Speaker 1: You've seen him do and do all this stuff both

2151
01:45:34,800 --> 01:45:37,360
Speaker 1: inside and outside, you know, on an up and undermove

2152
01:45:37,760 --> 01:45:40,160
Speaker 1: and also in a bull rush on an outside speed move.

2153
01:45:41,080 --> 01:45:45,880
Speaker 1: I've seen him spin inside, spin outside. It's you know,

2154
01:45:46,200 --> 01:45:47,960
Speaker 1: you get a guy who's got a lot of stuff

2155
01:45:48,000 --> 01:45:49,519
Speaker 1: going on, a lot of moves. He can go to

2156
01:45:49,600 --> 01:45:51,720
Speaker 1: a lot of things in the toolbox that he can

2157
01:45:51,880 --> 01:45:54,200
Speaker 1: come with to brush the passer. And I'm starting to

2158
01:45:54,240 --> 01:45:56,080
Speaker 1: see that from Bam Johnson. So I think that's a

2159
01:45:56,200 --> 01:46:00,240
Speaker 1: really good analogy Murphy. Both these guys are here to

2160
01:46:00,320 --> 01:46:05,200
Speaker 1: get after the passer. There pass rushers, and I've seen

2161
01:46:05,880 --> 01:46:11,120
Speaker 1: a longer menu of moves and a bigger repertoire from

2162
01:46:11,200 --> 01:46:13,479
Speaker 1: both of these guys than I've, you know, than I

2163
01:46:13,640 --> 01:46:16,640
Speaker 1: thought I was gonna get. Trent Murphy was limited last year.

2164
01:46:16,680 --> 01:46:18,760
Speaker 1: I think Sean McDermot alluded to it, and I thought

2165
01:46:18,760 --> 01:46:20,880
Speaker 1: he said it exactly right. And I remember doing it

2166
01:46:21,200 --> 01:46:24,120
Speaker 1: as an injured player. He's been so much time just

2167
01:46:24,320 --> 01:46:26,320
Speaker 1: rehabbing and trying to get back to where you were

2168
01:46:27,400 --> 01:46:28,840
Speaker 1: that you start thinking Okay, that's getting and all of

2169
01:46:28,880 --> 01:46:30,280
Speaker 1: a sudden, you're a month and a half into a

2170
01:46:30,320 --> 01:46:32,040
Speaker 1: season where you should be playing. Bet you know, you

2171
01:46:32,040 --> 01:46:34,800
Speaker 1: should be playing and thinking about other things, but you're still,

2172
01:46:35,600 --> 01:46:37,080
Speaker 1: you know, thinking about how am I gonna do? Is

2173
01:46:37,520 --> 01:46:39,240
Speaker 1: this going to hold up? How do I get ready

2174
01:46:39,280 --> 01:46:41,360
Speaker 1: to play this Sunday with this knee here? And you

2175
01:46:41,479 --> 01:46:43,439
Speaker 1: got to get to a point where you're just training,

2176
01:46:43,920 --> 01:46:48,040
Speaker 1: you're not rehabbing. And it's a long process that I

2177
01:46:48,080 --> 01:46:49,960
Speaker 1: think Trent Murphy was still going through in a large

2178
01:46:50,000 --> 01:46:52,800
Speaker 1: part of the season last year. Well I'm not saying

2179
01:46:52,880 --> 01:46:55,840
Speaker 1: he's there, but he's getting there. And I think we've

2180
01:46:55,920 --> 01:46:59,040
Speaker 1: had another of positive signs about Trent Murphy. Our Twitter

2181
01:46:59,080 --> 01:47:01,400
Speaker 1: poll today deals with the Buffalo offense and we want

2182
01:47:01,439 --> 01:47:03,679
Speaker 1: to hear from you your thoughts on the Buffalo offense

2183
01:47:03,760 --> 01:47:06,360
Speaker 1: where they stand now. We are on eleven days away

2184
01:47:06,479 --> 01:47:08,519
Speaker 1: from the cut to fifty three the Bills with a

2185
01:47:08,640 --> 01:47:11,600
Speaker 1: roster of ninety men right now, which position group on

2186
01:47:11,640 --> 01:47:14,000
Speaker 1: the Buffalo offense is most wide open? What do you think?

2187
01:47:14,320 --> 01:47:16,640
Speaker 1: On the Twitter poll? We got nine eight votes in

2188
01:47:16,720 --> 01:47:19,160
Speaker 1: and half of you forty nine percent say it's tight

2189
01:47:19,280 --> 01:47:22,479
Speaker 1: end twenty eight percent say it's wide receiver, fifteen percent

2190
01:47:22,560 --> 01:47:26,599
Speaker 1: say offensive line and nine percent of something else in mind.

2191
01:47:26,640 --> 01:47:29,439
Speaker 1: From the tweet sheet, we have one from t steal

2192
01:47:29,439 --> 01:47:31,960
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

2193
01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:35,559
Speaker 1: the official moves of the Buffalo Bills. T Steale says,

2194
01:47:35,640 --> 01:47:38,120
Speaker 1: I think wide receiver is still open. We have a

2195
01:47:38,160 --> 01:47:40,559
Speaker 1: lot of talent out there now. We have different body

2196
01:47:40,640 --> 01:47:42,759
Speaker 1: sizes that we can choose from it this spot, although

2197
01:47:43,080 --> 01:47:46,519
Speaker 1: five spots maybe smurfs. I feel that we have I

2198
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:49,400
Speaker 1: feel after that we have tall bodies and Cam and Duke.

2199
01:47:49,800 --> 01:47:51,840
Speaker 1: I am pulling for one of these guys, and a

2200
01:47:51,880 --> 01:47:54,480
Speaker 1: big guy in the offense. Maybe that maybe the consideration

2201
01:47:54,560 --> 01:47:57,200
Speaker 1: a big guy to play a wide receiver, a big

2202
01:47:57,280 --> 01:47:58,840
Speaker 1: guy to block for the run game, maybe even a

2203
01:47:58,880 --> 01:48:01,360
Speaker 1: big guy on special team. We've got one of Buffalose

2204
01:48:01,400 --> 01:48:03,599
Speaker 1: premier special teamers in the studio with us right now,

2205
01:48:03,720 --> 01:48:06,439
Speaker 1: just off the practice field. Happy to have a veteran fullback,

2206
01:48:06,479 --> 01:48:10,120
Speaker 1: Patrick de Marco intuity with us. Yeah, well, yeah, thanks

2207
01:48:10,160 --> 01:48:12,080
Speaker 1: for having me. How'd you like being back into South

2208
01:48:12,120 --> 01:48:15,519
Speaker 1: Carolina last week? It was hot? Yeah, had brought back

2209
01:48:15,520 --> 01:48:18,120
Speaker 1: some good memories also some bad memories. Uh yeah, it

2210
01:48:18,200 --> 01:48:20,800
Speaker 1: was nice. And hot, nice and toasty. Uh, definitely hurt

2211
01:48:20,840 --> 01:48:22,599
Speaker 1: some some go gamecocks and stuff. So it was good.

2212
01:48:23,040 --> 01:48:24,720
Speaker 1: Good to hear that back down there. Give us a

2213
01:48:24,760 --> 01:48:27,760
Speaker 1: little rundown about the running backs room and some new

2214
01:48:27,800 --> 01:48:30,879
Speaker 1: faces in there. Frank Gore's in there, uh, Devin's singletary

2215
01:48:30,920 --> 01:48:32,400
Speaker 1: along with t J. Yellow. You got a lot of

2216
01:48:32,439 --> 01:48:34,120
Speaker 1: new faces in there. Yeah, a lot of new faces,

2217
01:48:34,120 --> 01:48:36,599
Speaker 1: a lot of talent. It's probably the biggest thing from

2218
01:48:37,080 --> 01:48:39,280
Speaker 1: from a guy Shady've been on him two years now,

2219
01:48:39,320 --> 01:48:41,120
Speaker 1: and then bringing Frank who's done it for a long

2220
01:48:41,200 --> 01:48:44,040
Speaker 1: time and has been super successful, and then a guy

2221
01:48:44,120 --> 01:48:46,840
Speaker 1: like TJ who's had some really really good years. I

2222
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:49,240
Speaker 1: was really excited at us to get him Snorris Perry,

2223
01:48:49,800 --> 01:48:52,920
Speaker 1: uh Devin Singletary, I mean, Marcus Murphy. We got a

2224
01:48:52,960 --> 01:48:54,360
Speaker 1: lot of talent in that room. So it's really fun.

2225
01:48:54,800 --> 01:48:57,559
Speaker 1: Diverse group, a lot of different speed, power, a lot

2226
01:48:57,600 --> 01:49:00,400
Speaker 1: of different things, a lot of angles. There's talent, and

2227
01:49:00,439 --> 01:49:03,360
Speaker 1: there's competition, especially down the roster. A little bit, I

2228
01:49:03,800 --> 01:49:06,679
Speaker 1: was rewatching the Carolina game in the night and watching

2229
01:49:06,760 --> 01:49:09,200
Speaker 1: just how hard Marcus Murphy was running. I mean, he's

2230
01:49:10,040 --> 01:49:11,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure he feels it's an uphill client, but he's

2231
01:49:11,960 --> 01:49:14,760
Speaker 1: really working hard. Yeah, I love Murph. Murphy is as

2232
01:49:14,800 --> 01:49:16,479
Speaker 1: competitive as they come, and he'll go out there and

2233
01:49:16,520 --> 01:49:19,000
Speaker 1: he'll grind. He's a great special teams player. You know,

2234
01:49:19,040 --> 01:49:20,560
Speaker 1: he did a lot force last year. He filled in

2235
01:49:20,920 --> 01:49:22,120
Speaker 1: that's kind of the second half of the year and

2236
01:49:22,160 --> 01:49:25,599
Speaker 1: played really well. So you're gonna see his best these

2237
01:49:25,640 --> 01:49:28,400
Speaker 1: next two games. Pat de Marco builds fullback build special

2238
01:49:28,479 --> 01:49:30,160
Speaker 1: teamer with us here for a couple of minutes his

2239
01:49:30,240 --> 01:49:32,920
Speaker 1: practice one's down. Tell me about Heath Farwell, brand new

2240
01:49:32,960 --> 01:49:35,360
Speaker 1: special teams coordinator. What do you see from him? What

2241
01:49:35,400 --> 01:49:38,040
Speaker 1: are you getting from him? Yeah? I played against Heath

2242
01:49:38,120 --> 01:49:40,800
Speaker 1: when I was my first two years, so I remember

2243
01:49:40,880 --> 01:49:43,519
Speaker 1: him playing was a really good special teams player, and

2244
01:49:43,640 --> 01:49:46,559
Speaker 1: he brings a lot of juice. He's got the young energy.

2245
01:49:46,680 --> 01:49:49,400
Speaker 1: He knows, he knows how it's played. He's done it,

2246
01:49:49,520 --> 01:49:52,280
Speaker 1: he's lived it. Shoot, five years ago, he was playing ball,

2247
01:49:52,320 --> 01:49:55,400
Speaker 1: so he gets it, and he understands that special teams

2248
01:49:55,400 --> 01:49:57,720
Speaker 1: are tough and that the guy across from he has

2249
01:49:57,760 --> 01:49:59,840
Speaker 1: all the same skill sets that we have and all

2250
01:49:59,840 --> 01:50:03,320
Speaker 1: the tools. So he decided He's very understanding, very coachable,

2251
01:50:03,400 --> 01:50:06,479
Speaker 1: very relatable, and I've noticed a lot of the guys

2252
01:50:06,520 --> 01:50:08,040
Speaker 1: are just flocking to him quite well. And one of

2253
01:50:08,080 --> 01:50:11,280
Speaker 1: the guys that everybody's been asking us about him. You

2254
01:50:11,560 --> 01:50:13,200
Speaker 1: you're in the room with him. What tell us about

2255
01:50:13,280 --> 01:50:15,320
Speaker 1: Christian Wade? What kind of impact has he had in

2256
01:50:15,400 --> 01:50:17,360
Speaker 1: the room And how fun has it been to watch

2257
01:50:17,479 --> 01:50:20,040
Speaker 1: him have some success? Yeah, it's I mean, it's it's

2258
01:50:20,280 --> 01:50:23,599
Speaker 1: been amazing. Just uh, you know, two touches. The first

2259
01:50:23,600 --> 01:50:25,240
Speaker 1: two touches he scored on the first one. The second

2260
01:50:25,280 --> 01:50:27,560
Speaker 1: one he took forty five yards and I thought he

2261
01:50:27,640 --> 01:50:29,120
Speaker 1: was about to score. I wish you would have styed

2262
01:50:29,120 --> 01:50:30,599
Speaker 1: at the sideline. Would have been two for two. Pretty

2263
01:50:30,600 --> 01:50:34,280
Speaker 1: sweet preaching to the choir. But it's just it's very

2264
01:50:35,240 --> 01:50:36,920
Speaker 1: He kind of brings it back down to earth unless

2265
01:50:36,920 --> 01:50:38,479
Speaker 1: you're like realized because he's out there just having fun.

2266
01:50:38,520 --> 01:50:41,640
Speaker 1: He doesn't know the game yet, he's still learning, but

2267
01:50:41,720 --> 01:50:43,880
Speaker 1: he's he's out there every day just giving it as

2268
01:50:43,880 --> 01:50:46,519
Speaker 1: all and and just really showing us like the true

2269
01:50:46,560 --> 01:50:48,120
Speaker 1: passion of the game. Brings it back to when I

2270
01:50:48,240 --> 01:50:50,759
Speaker 1: was younger. Fans love what when you say he doesn't

2271
01:50:50,800 --> 01:50:52,240
Speaker 1: know the game yet, what are you thinking of? What?

2272
01:50:52,360 --> 01:50:53,800
Speaker 1: What do you think he does not get or does

2273
01:50:53,920 --> 01:50:56,160
Speaker 1: not know yet, just different aspects. I mean, it's it's

2274
01:50:56,200 --> 01:50:58,559
Speaker 1: a complete When you sit there and you watch tape

2275
01:50:58,640 --> 01:51:00,439
Speaker 1: or or you have a playbook and on you it's

2276
01:51:00,439 --> 01:51:03,360
Speaker 1: easy to see stuff stationary and everything, But just the

2277
01:51:03,439 --> 01:51:05,519
Speaker 1: way people are moving and flying around and blitzes and

2278
01:51:05,600 --> 01:51:08,080
Speaker 1: stunts and and all that stuff, it's it's hard to

2279
01:51:08,120 --> 01:51:10,400
Speaker 1: pick up. I mean, that's for your four years of college,

2280
01:51:10,439 --> 01:51:13,160
Speaker 1: that's grooming you for for this, and then rookie's coming

2281
01:51:13,200 --> 01:51:14,960
Speaker 1: in from four years of college still struggle with it.

2282
01:51:15,479 --> 01:51:17,240
Speaker 1: So a guy who's never done it and never seen

2283
01:51:17,320 --> 01:51:21,360
Speaker 1: it in that aspect lining up defensive line, linebackers, kind

2284
01:51:21,400 --> 01:51:23,840
Speaker 1: of the whole, the whole secondary it's it's a lot

2285
01:51:23,920 --> 01:51:25,360
Speaker 1: for him to take in. But I'll tell you what,

2286
01:51:25,439 --> 01:51:28,080
Speaker 1: the kids, the kids growing as a player, and he's

2287
01:51:28,080 --> 01:51:30,519
Speaker 1: starting to pick it up. You've you've been in the room.

2288
01:51:30,600 --> 01:51:32,160
Speaker 1: You said, there's a lot of talent in your running

2289
01:51:32,200 --> 01:51:34,760
Speaker 1: backs room. The running game really struggled last year. What's

2290
01:51:34,760 --> 01:51:36,760
Speaker 1: it gonna take for them to be a bigger part

2291
01:51:36,800 --> 01:51:38,439
Speaker 1: of the offense and more productive this year? Yeah, I

2292
01:51:38,479 --> 01:51:41,040
Speaker 1: think it was gonna stick to it. Like I've been

2293
01:51:41,080 --> 01:51:42,599
Speaker 1: a part of some really good run games, I've been

2294
01:51:42,680 --> 01:51:44,920
Speaker 1: part of some very average run games, so I think

2295
01:51:44,920 --> 01:51:47,479
Speaker 1: it's it's all about just keep plugging. I mean, I

2296
01:51:47,600 --> 01:51:49,960
Speaker 1: try to priest to the guys, like if two's there,

2297
01:51:50,040 --> 01:51:52,479
Speaker 1: take two, if three's there's take three. They're not all

2298
01:51:52,560 --> 01:51:54,640
Speaker 1: gonna be fifteen twenty. It would be great if they are.

2299
01:51:55,560 --> 01:51:57,400
Speaker 1: But you know, if you take two, you take three,

2300
01:51:57,439 --> 01:51:59,360
Speaker 1: the fifteens, the twenties, the thirties are gonna come. You

2301
01:51:59,400 --> 01:52:02,200
Speaker 1: just gotta keep lugging along and keep taking positive place

2302
01:52:02,200 --> 01:52:03,920
Speaker 1: because the coordinator is gonna keep calling one players. But

2303
01:52:03,920 --> 01:52:06,519
Speaker 1: if you take a negative, you know, then that plays

2304
01:52:06,520 --> 01:52:08,320
Speaker 1: out of the book. Talking with Pat de Marco Build's

2305
01:52:08,320 --> 01:52:10,439
Speaker 1: Fullback Build Special Team, where we asked you a minute

2306
01:52:10,439 --> 01:52:12,479
Speaker 1: ago about coach Farwell, Steve and I have talked a

2307
01:52:12,479 --> 01:52:14,800
Speaker 1: couple of times on this show about how this time

2308
01:52:14,840 --> 01:52:18,280
Speaker 1: of year, especially, Yeah, special teams coordinator, it's a difficult job.

2309
01:52:18,320 --> 01:52:21,080
Speaker 1: It's got to be brutally difficult now, not quite knowing

2310
01:52:21,080 --> 01:52:23,400
Speaker 1: who you're gonna have right as we're still a week

2311
01:52:23,400 --> 01:52:25,720
Speaker 1: and half away from cutdown day. Yeah, he's he's been

2312
01:52:25,840 --> 01:52:28,680
Speaker 1: doing a really good job and like his um kind

2313
01:52:28,720 --> 01:52:31,360
Speaker 1: of the depth charts change every week, and guys are

2314
01:52:31,400 --> 01:52:34,599
Speaker 1: playing tackle, guard, slot, playing two, and then playing four

2315
01:52:34,640 --> 01:52:36,640
Speaker 1: the next week. So he's really trying to get a

2316
01:52:36,680 --> 01:52:38,400
Speaker 1: feel for what guys can do because the way the

2317
01:52:38,479 --> 01:52:41,080
Speaker 1: roster's gonna shake out, Like he's told me, he's like, Pat,

2318
01:52:41,120 --> 01:52:42,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have you play guard, I'm gonna have you

2319
01:52:42,640 --> 01:52:44,280
Speaker 1: played p p M and if you play slot, and

2320
01:52:44,320 --> 01:52:46,160
Speaker 1: I might have you play tackle. You're gonna play everything

2321
01:52:46,200 --> 01:52:48,879
Speaker 1: on punnet at some shape or form during this preseason.

2322
01:52:48,960 --> 01:52:51,080
Speaker 1: So I don't know where exactly I'm gonna put you.

2323
01:52:51,160 --> 01:52:53,360
Speaker 1: So it's just about getting in your book and study

2324
01:52:53,400 --> 01:52:56,400
Speaker 1: in and knowing your assignment when your numbers called, right,

2325
01:52:56,439 --> 01:52:58,519
Speaker 1: he must lean on you to get the other guys. Yeah,

2326
01:52:58,760 --> 01:53:01,120
Speaker 1: he leans on guys like me and Zoe and Saran.

2327
01:53:01,200 --> 01:53:03,240
Speaker 1: Neil's growing a lot for us as the best teams player.

2328
01:53:03,280 --> 01:53:05,720
Speaker 1: You're starting to take their leadership, the leadership role, which

2329
01:53:05,720 --> 01:53:08,280
Speaker 1: is awesome because guys are flocking to him. So yeah,

2330
01:53:08,320 --> 01:53:10,040
Speaker 1: he relies on us to kind of get his message

2331
01:53:10,040 --> 01:53:13,120
Speaker 1: passed along. And I'm not that verbal of a leader.

2332
01:53:13,120 --> 01:53:14,720
Speaker 1: I'm more of a lead by example, And I mean

2333
01:53:14,760 --> 01:53:16,400
Speaker 1: I'll grab a guy in an intimate setting and talk

2334
01:53:16,439 --> 01:53:18,360
Speaker 1: to him and kind of teach him there and there.

2335
01:53:18,400 --> 01:53:20,080
Speaker 1: But I'm not a raw, raw guy. It's not really.

2336
01:53:20,240 --> 01:53:22,360
Speaker 1: It has never been my way of doing things. But

2337
01:53:22,479 --> 01:53:25,320
Speaker 1: guys have definitely are comfortable sitting and having lunch with

2338
01:53:25,360 --> 01:53:26,519
Speaker 1: me and being like, hey, Pat, what did you see

2339
01:53:26,520 --> 01:53:28,240
Speaker 1: when you're run down at three? Did you see the

2340
01:53:28,280 --> 01:53:30,320
Speaker 1: double team with a guard coming? Would you see? And

2341
01:53:30,360 --> 01:53:32,200
Speaker 1: I'm able to teach him like that, did you you're

2342
01:53:32,200 --> 01:53:34,840
Speaker 1: a kickoff team as well? Are you played a lot

2343
01:53:34,960 --> 01:53:37,080
Speaker 1: on kickoff last year? I'm kind of floating around on

2344
01:53:37,160 --> 01:53:41,000
Speaker 1: that too, kickoff return, punt return, That's what I'm aagine.

2345
01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:42,400
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about the new kickoff rus

2346
01:53:42,439 --> 01:53:44,439
Speaker 1: with a different alignment and all that. How's that changed

2347
01:53:44,479 --> 01:53:48,760
Speaker 1: thing when you're running down there? How's that evolved now

2348
01:53:48,760 --> 01:53:50,519
Speaker 1: over the last year or so when they would just

2349
01:53:50,720 --> 01:53:53,040
Speaker 1: kickoff some and how they're not a lot of returns.

2350
01:53:53,120 --> 01:53:55,439
Speaker 1: But yeah, it cleans up you read, which is nice

2351
01:53:55,439 --> 01:53:57,240
Speaker 1: because because the back part can't be a part of

2352
01:53:57,280 --> 01:53:58,600
Speaker 1: a double team. So if you know you're getting a

2353
01:53:58,600 --> 01:54:00,840
Speaker 1: double team that's coming from a front player or and

2354
01:54:00,960 --> 01:54:02,880
Speaker 1: then you just got to train your eyes. And it's

2355
01:54:02,880 --> 01:54:04,840
Speaker 1: what I've been telling the young guys, like, there's nobody

2356
01:54:04,960 --> 01:54:06,720
Speaker 1: if there's nobody sitting on top of you blocking you,

2357
01:54:07,120 --> 01:54:09,160
Speaker 1: you're getting trapped, get your eyes outside or if there's

2358
01:54:09,160 --> 01:54:11,320
Speaker 1: a double team inside of you, look out because the

2359
01:54:11,400 --> 01:54:14,439
Speaker 1: traps probably coming, especially nobody's sitting on top. So it's

2360
01:54:15,000 --> 01:54:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean, special teams are a lot about are training

2361
01:54:17,120 --> 01:54:18,880
Speaker 1: your eyes and knowing no one what you need to see.

2362
01:54:19,240 --> 01:54:21,080
Speaker 1: Don't see too much, see what you're supposed to see,

2363
01:54:21,400 --> 01:54:23,120
Speaker 1: and then it's all about flying around and make a plays.

2364
01:54:23,240 --> 01:54:25,920
Speaker 1: Training your eyes to what expect, the unexpected mostly and

2365
01:54:26,080 --> 01:54:28,080
Speaker 1: no training your eyes to what you need to see

2366
01:54:28,120 --> 01:54:32,160
Speaker 1: because when there's when there's twenty two guys on the field,

2367
01:54:32,200 --> 01:54:34,320
Speaker 1: you see a lot, but you don't want to see

2368
01:54:34,320 --> 01:54:36,839
Speaker 1: a lot because you see too much on the backside

2369
01:54:36,920 --> 01:54:39,600
Speaker 1: these guys flowing you just need to you. Generally, special

2370
01:54:39,600 --> 01:54:41,600
Speaker 1: teams's to one one matchup unless you're getting double team

2371
01:54:41,680 --> 01:54:44,000
Speaker 1: to trap. So it's about no one who's blocking you,

2372
01:54:44,080 --> 01:54:46,320
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Training your eyes, so knowing where

2373
01:54:46,360 --> 01:54:48,160
Speaker 1: your block's coming from and then attacking him and using

2374
01:54:48,200 --> 01:54:50,200
Speaker 1: the tool sets that he's given us to when you're

2375
01:54:50,240 --> 01:54:52,720
Speaker 1: one on one battle that you are a captain, right, yes, sir?

2376
01:54:53,040 --> 01:54:55,320
Speaker 1: What does that mean for you? I mean, it's it's

2377
01:54:55,360 --> 01:54:59,000
Speaker 1: an honor. Especially this preseason was voted on by the coaches,

2378
01:54:59,040 --> 01:55:00,680
Speaker 1: which is which is really cool, and then when we

2379
01:55:00,720 --> 01:55:02,600
Speaker 1: go into the regular seasons voted on by the players,

2380
01:55:02,640 --> 01:55:05,560
Speaker 1: which is even more special. So it's, um, you know,

2381
01:55:05,640 --> 01:55:07,800
Speaker 1: I told you guys what kind of my leadership standpoint

2382
01:55:07,840 --> 01:55:10,520
Speaker 1: and how I go about things. But Chris mcdermots done

2383
01:55:10,520 --> 01:55:12,000
Speaker 1: a lot and kind of stretched me and got me

2384
01:55:12,040 --> 01:55:13,960
Speaker 1: out of my comfort zone and kind of told me.

2385
01:55:14,000 --> 01:55:15,960
Speaker 1: He's like, hey, Pat, I need you to speak up.

2386
01:55:16,000 --> 01:55:17,280
Speaker 1: I need you to get on guys. I need you

2387
01:55:17,360 --> 01:55:19,760
Speaker 1: to be uncomfortable and I need you to start being

2388
01:55:19,840 --> 01:55:22,840
Speaker 1: more comfortable being uncomfortable. So, um, it's it's been a

2389
01:55:22,960 --> 01:55:25,360
Speaker 1: challenge for me, but it's it's something I'm definitely ready

2390
01:55:25,400 --> 01:55:27,440
Speaker 1: to take on. Is there a buzz around this team.

2391
01:55:27,480 --> 01:55:30,000
Speaker 1: You've been around a couple of teams. Yeah, this this

2392
01:55:30,200 --> 01:55:32,880
Speaker 1: is it's a good team. It's a good news. It's

2393
01:55:33,160 --> 01:55:35,240
Speaker 1: you know, it's fun right now. The guy like everybody's

2394
01:55:35,240 --> 01:55:37,800
Speaker 1: having a blast playing ball, and it's, um, you know,

2395
01:55:37,880 --> 01:55:40,000
Speaker 1: I think the teams are best when you're playing for

2396
01:55:40,080 --> 01:55:41,880
Speaker 1: the guy next to you, and it's not really about

2397
01:55:42,200 --> 01:55:44,400
Speaker 1: it's not really about your number. It's about you're feeding

2398
01:55:44,400 --> 01:55:46,240
Speaker 1: the guy's family next to you, and you're worried about

2399
01:55:46,600 --> 01:55:48,360
Speaker 1: team care of business so that so that they can

2400
01:55:48,400 --> 01:55:50,560
Speaker 1: perform well. It seems to be a great vibe coming

2401
01:55:50,600 --> 01:55:52,920
Speaker 1: out and we saw it in what we spoke about

2402
01:55:52,960 --> 01:55:55,560
Speaker 1: earlier in the segment. When you know when Christian Wade

2403
01:55:55,640 --> 01:55:57,760
Speaker 1: goes in and Sean McGraw says, like a tide awave.

2404
01:55:57,800 --> 01:55:59,720
Speaker 1: Everybody was happy for him. And and when you see

2405
01:55:59,760 --> 01:56:02,720
Speaker 1: that the sideline stand up in the late in the

2406
01:56:02,800 --> 01:56:05,080
Speaker 1: fourth quarter of a preseason game and get engaged and

2407
01:56:05,160 --> 01:56:07,760

Speaker 1: just finished their workout on the grass practice field on

2416
01:56:49,440 --> 01:56:51,840
Speaker 1: a beautiful day in Orchard Park. The no contact red

2417
01:56:51,920 --> 01:56:54,600
Speaker 1: jersey was not on center Mitch Moore today, but he

2418
01:56:54,680 --> 01:56:57,960
Speaker 1: remains in concussion protocol. Tight End Dawson knocks back for

2419
01:56:58,000 --> 01:57:01,320
Speaker 1: a second day. He's out of non contact status, so

2420
01:57:01,440 --> 01:57:03,200
Speaker 1: he might be able to play. I don't know. We'll

2421
01:57:03,240 --> 01:57:05,720
Speaker 1: see Bills and Lions coming up on Friday night. Tremine

2422
01:57:05,840 --> 01:57:08,840
Speaker 1: Edmond's Buffalo second year linebacker, met with the media moments ago,

2423
01:57:09,200 --> 01:57:10,840
Speaker 1: and we got a portion of that to play for

2424
01:57:10,920 --> 01:57:13,680
Speaker 1: your Tremine Edmonds started out talking about this year and

2425
01:57:13,840 --> 01:57:16,000
Speaker 1: why he's so much more comfortable this year than where

2426
01:57:16,040 --> 01:57:17,600
Speaker 1: he was a year ago. Here's what he had to say.

2427
01:57:18,480 --> 01:57:21,120
Speaker 1: You know, needing being more experienced, uh, you know, seeing

2428
01:57:21,160 --> 01:57:23,640
Speaker 1: a lot of the same formations and just getting a

2429
01:57:23,680 --> 01:57:26,320
Speaker 1: better feel of offenses out there. You know, I feel

2430
01:57:26,400 --> 01:57:28,640
Speaker 1: more comfortable. You know, I feel like I'm playing faster,

2431
01:57:29,200 --> 01:57:31,440
Speaker 1: but uh, you know, I'm still learning and I think

2432
01:57:31,480 --> 01:57:33,840
Speaker 1: it still has a lot more room to slow down

2433
01:57:33,880 --> 01:57:36,360
Speaker 1: for me. So I'm just trying to improve every day,

2434
01:57:36,760 --> 01:57:38,640
Speaker 1: come out, you know, learn from the things I probably

2435
01:57:38,760 --> 01:57:40,800
Speaker 1: you know, messed up on the day before, and just

2436
01:57:40,880 --> 01:57:44,400
Speaker 1: get better. It's all Your locker is really close to eds.

2437
01:57:44,520 --> 01:57:47,960
Speaker 1: With the type of relationships had you've grown with him.

2438
01:57:48,280 --> 01:57:50,880
Speaker 1: He got here Leslie said, he kind of at a

2439
01:57:50,920 --> 01:57:53,160
Speaker 1: wall at first up where he was kind of just

2440
01:57:53,280 --> 01:57:56,400
Speaker 1: keeping himself. Now he's hoping up to communicating more with

2441
01:57:56,480 --> 01:57:58,560
Speaker 1: these teams to be seen that. Oh yeah, we've been

2442
01:57:58,640 --> 01:58:01,280

2444
01:58:03,440 --> 01:58:07,360
Speaker 1: about football life in general, but just talk. Man. He's

2445
01:58:07,360 --> 01:58:10,120
Speaker 1: a cool dude. You know, he likes to learn. When

2446
01:58:10,160 --> 01:58:12,120
Speaker 1: he gets out on the football field, man, he goes

2447
01:58:12,120 --> 01:58:15,200
Speaker 1: one hundred miles privars. So, uh, he's a hard worker.

2448
01:58:15,320 --> 01:58:17,320
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, Glad having as a teammate, how

2449
01:58:17,400 --> 01:58:20,600
Speaker 1: much you guide him first front pictures a year ago,

2450
01:58:21,160 --> 01:58:24,640
Speaker 1: thrust it fire away, How have you helped guide him

2451
01:58:24,680 --> 01:58:27,760
Speaker 1: through some unknown to he's facing him. Oh yeah, we

2452
01:58:27,840 --> 01:58:29,280
Speaker 1: talked a little bit about it. But you know, he

2453
01:58:29,320 --> 01:58:30,840
Speaker 1: has a lot of older guys in his deep in

2454
01:58:30,920 --> 01:58:32,840
Speaker 1: his defensive line room that helps him out with a

2455
01:58:32,920 --> 01:58:35,320
Speaker 1: lot of stuff as well. So you know, those guys

2456
01:58:35,400 --> 01:58:36,680
Speaker 1: talk to him a little bit more than I do.

2457
01:58:37,000 --> 01:58:39,120
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, any chance that we get, you know,

2458
01:58:39,160 --> 01:58:41,160
Speaker 1: if you have a question, I know, I know he

2459
01:58:41,240 --> 01:58:43,200
Speaker 1: knows that he could ask me, but you know, anything

2460
01:58:43,280 --> 01:58:44,960
Speaker 1: that he wants to talk about we could talk about it.

2461
01:58:45,760 --> 01:58:52,880
Speaker 1: Guys come back, Kyle, and you got most of them

2462

2463
01:58:56,200 --> 01:58:58,960
Speaker 1: can he speak than to be? I think the biggest

2464
01:58:58,960 --> 01:59:01,240
Speaker 1: thing for us is just uh, come out every day

2465
01:59:01,320 --> 01:59:03,840
Speaker 1: working hard, and uh, I mean things are not gonna

2466
01:59:03,880 --> 01:59:07,000
Speaker 1: be perfect. It's gonna be up and downs. Uh, nothing

2467
01:59:07,040 --> 01:59:08,560
Speaker 1: that we did last year is gonna carry over to

2468
01:59:08,600 --> 01:59:11,440
Speaker 1: this year. So uh, you know, starting starting right now.

2469
01:59:11,640 --> 01:59:13,880
Speaker 1: You know, we gotta set a we gotta set a

2470
01:59:13,920 --> 01:59:17,720
Speaker 1: standard for ourselves, and we gotta come out and just work. Uh,

2471
01:59:17,880 --> 01:59:20,440
Speaker 1: you know, we're not entitled to nothing, so we just

2472
01:59:20,520 --> 01:59:22,600
Speaker 1: gotta work hard. Man. We know we're good. You know,

2473
01:59:22,720 --> 01:59:24,760
Speaker 1: we know that. You know, if we come together as

2474
01:59:24,760 --> 01:59:27,120
Speaker 1: a defense that we could be special. But uh, it's

2475
01:59:27,120 --> 01:59:28,920
Speaker 1: not gonna be easy, man. But we gotta work hard

2476
01:59:29,280 --> 01:59:32,280
Speaker 1: and take no days off. You said the spit of

2477
01:59:32,320 --> 01:59:35,400
Speaker 1: a standard last year, So like you second, we gotta

2478
01:59:35,400 --> 01:59:37,800
Speaker 1: bell on the yard, feel charts all out. I mean

2479
01:59:38,160 --> 01:59:40,880
Speaker 1: that is a standard that you can you you've set

2480
01:59:40,920 --> 01:59:44,200
Speaker 1: a bar, yeah, definitely. I mean, you know, we want

2481
01:59:44,240 --> 01:59:45,840
Speaker 1: to be the best every time we step on the field.

2482
01:59:46,240 --> 01:59:49,280
Speaker 1: But uh, you know it, you can't just show up.

2483
01:59:49,320 --> 01:59:51,640
Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta, you gotta prepare for it, and

2484
01:59:51,840 --> 01:59:54,000
Speaker 1: uh it's gonna take you know, us communicate with each other,

2485
01:59:54,160 --> 01:59:57,600
Speaker 1: us going to situations together, and uh you know sometimes

2486
01:59:57,640 --> 02:00:00,080
Speaker 1: it may take us. Uh may take something happen for

2487
02:00:00,200 --> 02:00:03,200
Speaker 1: us to completely come together. But uh, you know, I

2488
02:00:03,360 --> 02:00:05,440
Speaker 1: like the guys that we that we have. We should

2489
02:00:05,480 --> 02:00:07,680
Speaker 1: come out every day. You know, everybody's working hard, everybody

2490
02:00:07,720 --> 02:00:09,600
Speaker 1: wants to be the best, and uh, you know, I

2491
02:00:10,520 --> 02:00:12,960
Speaker 1: like the feeling that we have right now. I talked

2492
02:00:12,960 --> 02:00:15,640
Speaker 1: about but being happy with what the ones have shown

2493
02:00:16,520 --> 02:00:21,280
Speaker 1: the last two games, and fundamentally, you know, he said,

2494
02:00:21,320 --> 02:00:24,880
Speaker 1: the funnamental stuff is what it's interesting one for you

2495
02:00:26,080 --> 02:00:30,440
Speaker 1: what we see individually, energy good this third game and

2496
02:00:30,720 --> 02:00:34,280
Speaker 1: a chance to maybe for face your first starting quarterback

2497
02:00:34,800 --> 02:00:37,640
Speaker 1: in the preseason. How important is that for the for

2498
02:00:37,720 --> 02:00:42,080
Speaker 1: the evolution? Uh after after going into this third game, Yeah,

2499
02:00:42,080 --> 02:00:44,360
Speaker 1: we're excited. You know, there's a challenge we have ahead

2500
02:00:44,360 --> 02:00:47,400
Speaker 1: of us, but we approach every game the same. I mentally,

2501
02:00:47,440 --> 02:00:49,720
Speaker 1: just go out there and dominate every game, no matter

2502
02:00:49,760 --> 02:00:52,040
Speaker 1: who the point it is, non't matter who we're going again,

2503
02:00:52,120 --> 02:00:54,440
Speaker 1: so you know our mindset is still the same. Go

2504
02:00:54,560 --> 02:00:58,080
Speaker 1: out there, Uh, play fast, play smart and just uh,

2505
02:00:58,320 --> 02:01:01,040
Speaker 1: you know, players a total defense, and that's gonna be

2506
02:01:01,080 --> 02:01:03,080
Speaker 1: our mindset every time we go on the field, no

2507
02:01:03,200 --> 02:01:07,400
Speaker 1: matter who's against, challenge only. I mean, not to disrespect

2508
02:01:07,440 --> 02:01:11,880
Speaker 1: for the guys, but Matthew said verses Yeah, like I said,

2509
02:01:11,960 --> 02:01:13,800
Speaker 1: no matter who it is, we prepared the same way. So,

2510
02:01:14,320 --> 02:01:16,160
Speaker 1: I mean we were prepared for this game. It's like

2511
02:01:16,200 --> 02:01:19,760
Speaker 1: we prepared for the last game at the beginning of Yeah, Sean,

2512
02:01:20,120 --> 02:01:21,960
Speaker 1: we wanted to see this defense. It's a little bit

2513
02:01:22,000 --> 02:01:25,240
Speaker 1: more of an edge. How have you guys approach that

2514
02:01:25,480 --> 02:01:29,680
Speaker 1: and try to get there and accomplish that to f Yeah,

2515
02:01:29,680 --> 02:01:32,200
Speaker 1: we've been uh practicing that every time we come out

2516
02:01:32,240 --> 02:01:35,080
Speaker 1: on the practice field. You know, whether it's firing off

2517
02:01:35,120 --> 02:01:37,280
Speaker 1: on the ball, whether it's catching the ball when the

2518
02:01:37,320 --> 02:01:40,160
Speaker 1: stone tours a little things like that. It's just uh

2519
02:01:40,840 --> 02:01:42,920
Speaker 1: challenging each one of us every day we step on

2520
02:01:43,000 --> 02:01:44,880
Speaker 1: that field, and uh, you know, I think guys are

2521
02:01:44,920 --> 02:01:47,040
Speaker 1: being challenged out there and that brings out the best

2522
02:01:47,120 --> 02:01:49,200
Speaker 1: of everybody. So you know, I feel like we're really

2523
02:01:49,240 --> 02:01:51,400
Speaker 1: coming together as a defense and it's good to see.

2524
02:01:51,680 --> 02:01:55,440
Speaker 1: Thank you guys, a little of the pack defense set again.

2525
02:01:55,560 --> 02:01:57,840
Speaker 1: Thank you guys like little of the pack run defense

2526
02:01:57,840 --> 02:02:00,760
Speaker 1: flaves last year and through the first people see the

2527
02:02:00,840 --> 02:02:03,200
Speaker 1: games and need the fits and looks pretty sharp. How

2528
02:02:03,360 --> 02:02:07,800
Speaker 1: encouraged are you at the performance of guys You're going

2529
02:02:07,840 --> 02:02:10,120
Speaker 1: to take a major step froward in that area of

2530
02:02:10,160 --> 02:02:13,040
Speaker 1: the cassiveladers. Yeah, that's something that we stress about every day.

2531
02:02:13,200 --> 02:02:15,320
Speaker 1: And you know, we know that it starts up front.

2532
02:02:15,640 --> 02:02:18,160
Speaker 1: And I think our guys on the defensive line are

2533
02:02:18,160 --> 02:02:20,360
Speaker 1: doing a real good job up front, you know, establishing

2534
02:02:20,400 --> 02:02:22,920
Speaker 1: a line of scrimmers, and it starts with them. You know,

2535
02:02:23,000 --> 02:02:25,520
Speaker 1: without them, you know, linebackers, we wouldn't be able to

2536
02:02:25,600 --> 02:02:27,920
Speaker 1: make our plays or you know, the safeties or the

2537
02:02:28,000 --> 02:02:30,120
Speaker 1: cornerbacks and whoever else. But it starts up front, and

2538
02:02:30,480 --> 02:02:31,840
Speaker 1: you know, I think those guys are doing a real

2539
02:02:31,920 --> 02:02:33,520
Speaker 1: good job. So I take my hats off to them.

2540
02:02:34,080 --> 02:02:37,200
Speaker 1: Bill second year linebacker Tremaine Edmonds. Today is practice wrapped

2541
02:02:37,280 --> 02:02:38,640
Speaker 1: up moments ago. You know what was good? I told

2542
02:02:38,680 --> 02:02:40,840
Speaker 1: you I watched second half of Bill's Carolina last night

2543
02:02:40,880 --> 02:02:43,400
Speaker 1: in your broadcast with Andrew Catalina, and I think it

2544
02:02:43,480 --> 02:02:46,280
Speaker 1: was second half. Fed Brown did an interview right on

2545
02:02:46,360 --> 02:02:48,600
Speaker 1: the side of the Tremaine. It's really good and Treine

2546
02:02:48,640 --> 02:02:52,720
Speaker 1: just talked about using his stature, his height to knock

2547
02:02:52,800 --> 02:02:55,200
Speaker 1: down passes, to block out passing lanes. I know that,

2548
02:02:55,280 --> 02:02:57,000
Speaker 1: and I know that's what he does, but it's got

2549
02:02:57,040 --> 02:02:59,840
Speaker 1: a real good sense of I think this year Tremine does,

2550
02:03:00,040 --> 02:03:02,160
Speaker 1: and he expressed it in an interview with that of

2551
02:03:02,280 --> 02:03:03,800
Speaker 1: who he is and what he can do to help

2552
02:03:03,840 --> 02:03:05,600
Speaker 1: with defense. And I wonder if a year ago he

2553
02:03:05,680 --> 02:03:07,440
Speaker 1: had that. I bet he did not. Yeah, I think

2554
02:03:08,040 --> 02:03:10,920
Speaker 1: a year ago was I think his focus was on

2555
02:03:11,040 --> 02:03:12,960
Speaker 1: making sure he's in the right spot. And then now

2556
02:03:13,080 --> 02:03:16,040
Speaker 1: I think using the kind of body type he has

2557
02:03:16,080 --> 02:03:18,440
Speaker 1: in his speed, I think one thing about him that

2558
02:03:18,600 --> 02:03:20,880
Speaker 1: he does for a long guy like he is, as

2559
02:03:20,960 --> 02:03:22,640
Speaker 1: tall as he is and as lean as he is,

2560
02:03:23,640 --> 02:03:25,680
Speaker 1: a lot of times you see guys like that. Certainly

2561
02:03:25,760 --> 02:03:28,400
Speaker 1: he can run fast when he gets open, but they

2562
02:03:29,320 --> 02:03:31,680
Speaker 1: they lack the ability to bend their knees and change

2563
02:03:31,760 --> 02:03:35,320
Speaker 1: directions real fast. And Tremaine does that. He plays with

2564
02:03:35,440 --> 02:03:38,720
Speaker 1: good knee bend. He drops his hips well and drives

2565
02:03:38,760 --> 02:03:42,760
Speaker 1: to the football. He knocked away a pass in practice

2566
02:03:42,760 --> 02:03:45,760
Speaker 1: the other day last week with Greg Olson. He knocked

2567
02:03:45,760 --> 02:03:47,920
Speaker 1: it away, defended the past, pushed Olson out of bounds.

2568
02:03:47,920 --> 02:03:51,880
Speaker 1: I mean, his ability to be an athlete when he's

2569
02:03:51,920 --> 02:03:54,480
Speaker 1: that tall and lanky, I think is the one thing

2570
02:03:54,520 --> 02:03:56,640
Speaker 1: that's going to set him apart and his and his knowledge.

2571
02:03:56,720 --> 02:03:58,440
Speaker 1: Now when he says, okay, now I've got the link

2572
02:03:58,520 --> 02:04:01,200
Speaker 1: that I can when he's not as close to the

2573
02:04:01,280 --> 02:04:03,480
Speaker 1: receiver as other guys are, he can still reach the

2574
02:04:03,560 --> 02:04:05,960
Speaker 1: receiver because of his extra reach. Because of his link,

2575
02:04:06,400 --> 02:04:09,360
Speaker 1: he can keep up with guys, particularly on a go route,

2576
02:04:09,600 --> 02:04:11,600
Speaker 1: because when he opens it up, he's as fast as

2577
02:04:11,640 --> 02:04:13,560
Speaker 1: those guys going down the middle of the field because

2578
02:04:13,600 --> 02:04:17,160
Speaker 1: of his leg turnover. His athleticism is something I think

2579
02:04:17,200 --> 02:04:20,880
Speaker 1: he took for granted at the lower levels. But you

2580
02:04:20,960 --> 02:04:22,480
Speaker 1: kind of have to get back to the point where

2581
02:04:22,520 --> 02:04:25,080
Speaker 1: you've got to be on point mentally before you can

2582
02:04:25,120 --> 02:04:26,880
Speaker 1: actually bring that stuff into play. And I think this

2583
02:04:27,040 --> 02:04:29,120
Speaker 1: year he's more on point mentally and ahead of the

2584
02:04:29,200 --> 02:04:32,480
Speaker 1: game so that he can use that stuff at this level.

2585
02:04:32,600 --> 02:04:36,480
Speaker 1: At the lower levels, and that's all he needed, you know,

2586
02:04:36,640 --> 02:04:38,920
Speaker 1: whether he was in a he can outrun everybody on

2587
02:04:39,000 --> 02:04:40,960
Speaker 1: the field just about it at the lower levels of football.

2588
02:04:41,000 --> 02:04:42,600
Speaker 1: But now he not only has to be within the

2589
02:04:42,680 --> 02:04:45,880
Speaker 1: system and knowing, you know, anticipating, but now he's to

2590
02:04:45,960 --> 02:04:48,960
Speaker 1: the point where now he can once again, you know,

2591
02:04:49,200 --> 02:04:51,160
Speaker 1: exploit the stuff that brought to the brought him to

2592
02:04:51,200 --> 02:04:52,880
Speaker 1: the table, made him a first round draft. One more

2593
02:04:52,920 --> 02:04:55,480
Speaker 1: observation I had as we put the Carolina game to bed.

2594
02:04:56,440 --> 02:04:58,960
Speaker 1: Matt Mulatto played great. I thought watching the game over

2595
02:04:59,000 --> 02:05:01,200
Speaker 1: again the last few days, and he didn't play much,

2596
02:05:01,400 --> 02:05:03,800
Speaker 1: but I thought he was all over the field. I

2597
02:05:03,840 --> 02:05:06,920
Speaker 1: think he had four tackles and he probably played you know,

2598
02:05:07,160 --> 02:05:09,960
Speaker 1: nine plays, ten to eleven plays. Matt Milano I thought

2599
02:05:10,080 --> 02:05:13,839
Speaker 1: was outstanding. You know, I always worry about Milano's size,

2600
02:05:13,920 --> 02:05:16,720
Speaker 1: that being a factor in what he's able to do.

2601
02:05:16,880 --> 02:05:19,680
Speaker 1: But man, he was all over the field last Friday

2602
02:05:19,760 --> 02:05:22,520
Speaker 1: night in Carolina. I thought, yeah, I looked at him

2603
02:05:22,520 --> 02:05:25,760
Speaker 1: to have a really good season. His injury was one

2604
02:05:25,920 --> 02:05:29,120
Speaker 1: where once you're recovered from that and you can go

2605
02:05:29,240 --> 02:05:32,520
Speaker 1: out and run around and stuff pain free, you're gonna

2606
02:05:32,520 --> 02:05:34,920
Speaker 1: be the exact same guy you were. This is not

2607
02:05:35,040 --> 02:05:38,640
Speaker 1: like a Trent Murphy injury. This is an injury that's

2608
02:05:38,680 --> 02:05:41,960
Speaker 1: you know, was broken bone and in so many ways

2609
02:05:42,080 --> 02:05:47,680
Speaker 1: the rehab is different, but it's also more complete and

2610
02:05:47,840 --> 02:05:49,840
Speaker 1: you feel better when you come out of that injury.

2611
02:05:49,880 --> 02:05:53,840
Speaker 1: You feel normal again very quickly once the pain subsides.

2612
02:05:54,200 --> 02:05:56,120
Speaker 1: And I think, so, I look for Matt Milano to

2613
02:05:56,200 --> 02:05:57,720
Speaker 1: be one of those guys who comes back off a

2614
02:05:57,800 --> 02:06:01,440
Speaker 1: pretty major injury and takes off right where he left off.

2615
02:06:01,520 --> 02:06:03,880
Speaker 1: And we were seeing him have a really nice year

2616
02:06:04,000 --> 02:06:06,680
Speaker 1: last year, and I went back to check to make sure,

2617
02:06:06,720 --> 02:06:08,840
Speaker 1: and I certainly did. I found some articles where they

2618
02:06:08,880 --> 02:06:10,840
Speaker 1: were talking about him as a Pro Bowl caliber player

2619
02:06:10,960 --> 02:06:14,160
Speaker 1: last year, and that was thirteen weeks into the season.

2620
02:06:14,880 --> 02:06:17,040
Speaker 1: So if he does come back and take off from

2621
02:06:17,640 --> 02:06:21,080
Speaker 1: take off from where he left off, yeah, Matt Milano

2622
02:06:21,240 --> 02:06:24,480
Speaker 1: could be a guy that turns a lot of heads.

2623
02:06:24,960 --> 02:06:27,560
Speaker 1: I thought he was great, really good. Yeah, just looking

2624
02:06:27,640 --> 02:06:30,600
Speaker 1: up as snap count can't find it. I'll get back

2625
02:06:30,640 --> 02:06:32,920
Speaker 1: to that in a second. I thought he was really good. Hey,

2626
02:06:33,000 --> 02:06:36,480
Speaker 1: our Twitter poll, which Bill's offensive position group is the

2627
02:06:36,560 --> 02:06:38,960
Speaker 1: most wide open? Most of you on the Twitter poll,

2628
02:06:38,960 --> 02:06:41,400
Speaker 1: I was a thousand votes in so far. I think

2629
02:06:41,480 --> 02:06:45,280
Speaker 1: that it's a tight end. Forty eight percent say tight end,

2630
02:06:45,360 --> 02:06:48,960
Speaker 1: twenty eight percent say wide receiver, fifteen percent say offensive line,

2631
02:06:49,080 --> 02:06:51,280
Speaker 1: nine percent say running back. What do you think? Give

2632
02:06:51,320 --> 02:06:53,320
Speaker 1: us a call? Eight h three h five fifty toll

2633
02:06:53,400 --> 02:06:56,880
Speaker 1: free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty

2634
02:06:57,240 --> 02:06:59,680
Speaker 1: or send in a tweet for our tweet sheet. It

2635
02:06:59,880 --> 02:07:03,240
Speaker 1: is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official

2636
02:07:03,360 --> 02:07:08,240
Speaker 1: movers of the Buffalo Bills. There is Matt Milano. I

2637
02:07:08,360 --> 02:07:10,520
Speaker 1: found it finally fifteen plays. He had four tackles in

2638
02:07:10,600 --> 02:07:13,120
Speaker 1: fifteen plays. It's pretty good ratio. Pretty good ratio if

2639
02:07:13,480 --> 02:07:15,760
Speaker 1: if he'll get double digit tackles if he if he

2640
02:07:16,240 --> 02:07:19,960
Speaker 1: keeps racking up tackles at that pace. All right, From Daniel,

2641
02:07:20,360 --> 02:07:22,520
Speaker 1: he says, I think tight end, it seems like Sweeney

2642
02:07:22,640 --> 02:07:25,560
Speaker 1: can do everything. Well. I'm curious about Knox and Croom's

2643
02:07:25,600 --> 02:07:28,680
Speaker 1: blocking and if Croft can come back from his foot injury.

2644
02:07:28,760 --> 02:07:31,400
Speaker 1: We know what Smith is pretty good. I guess it

2645
02:07:31,480 --> 02:07:33,160
Speaker 1: could take on what they've got a tight end and

2646
02:07:33,520 --> 02:07:36,120
Speaker 1: what they're looking to see at tight end, right, Yeah, exactly,

2647
02:07:36,360 --> 02:07:39,240
Speaker 1: And I think there's so many unknowns. We still haven't

2648
02:07:39,240 --> 02:07:42,480
Speaker 1: seen Kroom, we haven't seen We're not gonna see Tyler

2649
02:07:42,560 --> 02:07:45,200
Speaker 1: Croft until a few weeks into the regular season, and

2650
02:07:45,280 --> 02:07:47,840
Speaker 1: it'll be an acclamation process. I'm sure for him to

2651
02:07:47,920 --> 02:07:53,000
Speaker 1: get back on the field, start practicing that that position.

2652
02:07:53,160 --> 02:07:54,920
Speaker 1: We may beat deep. You know, I didn't think about it,

2653
02:07:54,960 --> 02:07:56,560
Speaker 1: but we may be deep end of the season before

2654
02:07:56,640 --> 02:07:59,040
Speaker 1: that's settled out the way end, Yeah, the way they

2655
02:07:59,120 --> 02:08:01,880
Speaker 1: thought it would be, given the injuries are in camp

2656
02:08:02,040 --> 02:08:04,000
Speaker 1: all through camp. Now that now that they're done with

2657
02:08:04,080 --> 02:08:08,800
Speaker 1: training camp and now Crofts, you know, situations extending into

2658
02:08:08,880 --> 02:08:12,680
Speaker 1: training into the regular season. It may be a while

2659
02:08:12,760 --> 02:08:14,880
Speaker 1: for them. It may be a while for them too

2660
02:08:15,000 --> 02:08:19,120
Speaker 1: before we know what we've got fully with the whole,

2661
02:08:19,640 --> 02:08:21,600
Speaker 1: you know, run with the whole. Depth chart at tight end.

2662
02:08:21,840 --> 02:08:23,760
Speaker 1: One more on tight ends from the tweet sheet from

2663
02:08:23,840 --> 02:08:26,839
Speaker 1: Ronnie tight End seems the easy choice with the injuries.

2664
02:08:26,880 --> 02:08:29,440
Speaker 1: Sweeney has really stepped up and is making a case

2665
02:08:29,520 --> 02:08:32,919
Speaker 1: to play regularly with the Bills. Keep Dawson, Croom, Sweeney

2666
02:08:33,120 --> 02:08:37,840
Speaker 1: and Smith for them. I don't know. I mean, it's

2667
02:08:37,880 --> 02:08:40,360
Speaker 1: funny you and Brownie were talking about ten dbs early

2668
02:08:40,360 --> 02:08:43,320
Speaker 1: around when Brownie's with us and talking about five running

2669
02:08:43,360 --> 02:08:47,240
Speaker 1: backs and six wide receivers, and I'm sitting there thinking, fellas,

2670
02:08:47,480 --> 02:08:49,440
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna have to go light. You can't go heavy

2671
02:08:49,440 --> 02:08:52,400
Speaker 1: at all these spots, right, you can't. There's fifty three spots.

2672
02:08:52,520 --> 02:08:55,960
Speaker 1: That's it, fifty three and you got you got two

2673
02:08:56,040 --> 02:08:59,240
Speaker 1: sides of the football. And you got three specialists kicker, punter,

2674
02:08:59,400 --> 02:09:03,120
Speaker 1: long snap, so there's fifty spots twenty five aside, you know.

2675
02:09:03,200 --> 02:09:05,680
Speaker 1: So there you go. What are you gonna do? And

2676
02:09:07,600 --> 02:09:09,520
Speaker 1: there's just no way around it, that's all there's going

2677
02:09:09,560 --> 02:09:11,600
Speaker 1: to be. And if you're gonna take some really good

2678
02:09:11,640 --> 02:09:13,840
Speaker 1: players and think you're gonna hide them on the practice squad,

2679
02:09:13,880 --> 02:09:17,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose them at some point during the regular season. Yeah, yeah,

2680
02:09:17,200 --> 02:09:19,560
Speaker 1: all right, break, we're back to wrap things up. Come

2681
02:09:19,600 --> 02:09:21,920
Speaker 1: on back One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health from

2682
02:09:21,960 --> 02:09:42,520
Speaker 1: One Bill's Drive and this is Buffalo Bill's Radio. So

2683
02:09:42,640 --> 02:09:44,080
Speaker 1: what have we learned from today's show? We had a

2684
02:09:44,080 --> 02:09:47,440
Speaker 1: good show. Dan Orlovski joined us at one o'clock from ESPN.

2685
02:09:47,680 --> 02:09:50,720
Speaker 1: ESPN Football analyst Dan Orlovski had a lot of interesting

2686
02:09:50,800 --> 02:09:53,800
Speaker 1: takes about Josh Allen, Buffalo's quarterback, based on what he

2687
02:09:53,840 --> 02:09:56,080
Speaker 1: saw in the Bills game at Carolina last Friday night,

2688
02:09:56,400 --> 02:09:59,280
Speaker 1: and Arlovski had a thought about what his favorite play

2689
02:09:59,480 --> 02:10:02,320
Speaker 1: that he saw from Josh Allen in Friday night's game.

2690
02:10:02,360 --> 02:10:06,360
Speaker 1: Here's what he said. You see him pointing to his right,

2691
02:10:06,760 --> 02:10:08,480
Speaker 1: tell him Beasley, Hey, you're gonna be hot if that

2692
02:10:08,560 --> 02:10:10,040
Speaker 1: guy comes and all of a sudden, it was almost

2693
02:10:10,080 --> 02:10:13,760
Speaker 1: like Josh got kicked in the head. It was like no, no, no, dummy, Like, no,

2694
02:10:14,440 --> 02:10:17,200
Speaker 1: we're not doing that. This is the answer to this glitz.

2695
02:10:17,280 --> 02:10:18,600
Speaker 1: And I said that in a good way. It was

2696
02:10:18,680 --> 02:10:20,560
Speaker 1: like the light went on for him in that moment,

2697
02:10:20,640 --> 02:10:23,520
Speaker 1: the hello, dude, what are we doing moment where he

2698
02:10:23,680 --> 02:10:26,520
Speaker 1: was about that started. I gotta tell Shady he's my

2699
02:10:26,600 --> 02:10:28,360
Speaker 1: hot because the offensive line is going to do this.

2700
02:10:28,880 --> 02:10:31,640
Speaker 1: And then the thing that I loved about it even

2701
02:10:31,720 --> 02:10:34,720
Speaker 1: more solicit. I loved the communication. I love it just

2702
02:10:34,880 --> 02:10:38,200
Speaker 1: how fast he made his decisions, held a backer for

2703
02:10:38,280 --> 02:10:40,520
Speaker 1: a second and drove the shot to the tight end

2704
02:10:40,840 --> 02:10:43,640
Speaker 1: before he was even looking for it. It just looked

2705
02:10:43,680 --> 02:10:47,480
Speaker 1: like quarterbacking. It looked like a guy who's starting or

2706
02:10:47,560 --> 02:10:50,160
Speaker 1: in the middle, or certainly in the process of becoming

2707
02:10:50,200 --> 02:10:53,480
Speaker 1: a quarterback, not just the thrower. Dan Rooski played a

2708
02:10:53,520 --> 02:10:55,440
Speaker 1: dozen years in the league as a quarterback, so his

2709
02:10:55,560 --> 02:10:58,920
Speaker 1: perspective is interesting on Josh Allen just had Patrick DeMarco

2710
02:10:59,080 --> 02:11:01,520
Speaker 1: on the Show Bills full special team or been around

2711
02:11:01,560 --> 02:11:02,880
Speaker 1: here for a couple of years now. When he asked

2712
02:11:02,920 --> 02:11:05,520
Speaker 1: him just his overall thought on the buzz around this

2713
02:11:05,680 --> 02:11:07,680
Speaker 1: Bills team. What kind of a feeling he gets. Here's

2714
02:11:07,680 --> 02:11:11,240
Speaker 1: what he said. This is it's a good team. It's

2715
02:11:11,240 --> 02:11:14,160
Speaker 1: a good news, it's you know, it's fun right now.

2716
02:11:14,280 --> 02:11:16,600
Speaker 1: The guy like everybody's having a blast playing ball and

2717
02:11:16,680 --> 02:11:19,480
Speaker 1: it's um. You know, I think the teams are best

2718
02:11:19,520 --> 02:11:21,000
Speaker 1: when you're playing for the guy next to you and

2719
02:11:21,200 --> 02:11:23,520
Speaker 1: it's not really about it's not really about your number.

2720
02:11:23,520 --> 02:11:25,520
Speaker 1: It's about you're feeding the guy's family next to you,

2721
02:11:25,600 --> 02:11:27,720
Speaker 1: and you're worried about team care of business so that

2722
02:11:28,000 --> 02:11:31,320
Speaker 1: so that they can perform all and Rick DeMarco, now,

2723
02:11:31,680 --> 02:11:33,680
Speaker 1: you know you want to not put too much stock

2724
02:11:33,720 --> 02:11:35,400
Speaker 1: in that. You want to say, yeah, well you better

2725
02:11:35,440 --> 02:11:37,480
Speaker 1: get some players, you better fix your offensive line. But

2726
02:11:38,920 --> 02:11:41,080
Speaker 1: that's real on this roster's team. I haven't seen that

2727
02:11:41,160 --> 02:11:43,320
Speaker 1: on every Bills team ever been around, but you can

2728
02:11:43,360 --> 02:11:45,440
Speaker 1: see it on this Bills roster. They do care about

2729
02:11:45,480 --> 02:11:48,080
Speaker 1: each other. It's one who work. There's chemists. It's one

2730
02:11:48,080 --> 02:11:49,760
Speaker 1: of the things that makes a team. And I know

2731
02:11:49,880 --> 02:11:52,000
Speaker 1: this is it's an old cliche, but it's it makes

2732
02:11:52,040 --> 02:11:53,880
Speaker 1: a team greater than the sum of its parts. They

2733
02:11:53,920 --> 02:11:56,920
Speaker 1: can play above their talent level. We saw signs of

2734
02:11:56,960 --> 02:11:59,720
Speaker 1: it even the first year when they you know, ended

2735
02:11:59,800 --> 02:12:04,919
Speaker 1: up going to the playoffs, the roster that was seemingly

2736
02:12:05,040 --> 02:12:09,520
Speaker 1: less talented than the one the year before, So all

2737
02:12:09,560 --> 02:12:11,720
Speaker 1: of that stuff goes into the mix. I get it.

2738
02:12:12,000 --> 02:12:14,000
Speaker 1: I think they do put a lot of stock into it.

2739
02:12:14,160 --> 02:12:17,200
Speaker 1: It seems evident when you watch this team play, they're

2740
02:12:17,280 --> 02:12:20,240
Speaker 1: genuinely happy for each other. We'll see if it translates

2741
02:12:20,280 --> 02:12:23,560
Speaker 1: into wins. We'll see if it is as big a

2742
02:12:23,680 --> 02:12:25,600
Speaker 1: factor as they hope it will be in as much

2743
02:12:25,640 --> 02:12:27,440
Speaker 1: effort as they put into it. But it's real, there's

2744
02:12:27,480 --> 02:12:30,920
Speaker 1: no question about it. Hey, our Twitter poll today dealing

2745
02:12:30,960 --> 02:12:34,360
Speaker 1: with roster questions, and we wanted to know right now

2746
02:12:34,840 --> 02:12:38,880
Speaker 1: on the Buffalo offense, what are the bills big issues

2747
02:12:38,920 --> 02:12:41,000
Speaker 1: and want to know from you what you thought were

2748
02:12:41,080 --> 02:12:43,480
Speaker 1: the position group on the Bills that is most wide

2749
02:12:43,520 --> 02:12:45,560
Speaker 1: open on the offensive side of the ball. On the

2750
02:12:45,640 --> 02:12:47,520
Speaker 1: Twitter poll, we had a lot of responses. We had

2751
02:12:47,600 --> 02:12:50,200
Speaker 1: to more than a thousand votes, and almost half of you.

2752
02:12:50,320 --> 02:12:53,520
Speaker 1: Forty eight percent said tight end, twenty nine percent said

2753
02:12:53,560 --> 02:12:57,240
Speaker 1: wide receiver, fifteen percent said offensive line, nine percent said

2754
02:12:57,280 --> 02:13:00,400
Speaker 1: running back. I would vote for offensive line. I hope

2755
02:13:00,400 --> 02:13:03,520
Speaker 1: we're getting some indication that things might be settling down there.

2756
02:13:03,640 --> 02:13:06,560
Speaker 1: Mitch Morse remaining in concussion protocol, but it seemed to

2757
02:13:06,600 --> 02:13:09,560
Speaker 1: take a few maybe a larger role in practice today

2758
02:13:10,000 --> 02:13:12,520
Speaker 1: and we'll learn more about that when Seal McDermott speaks.

2759
02:13:12,880 --> 02:13:16,360
Speaker 1: I think tomorrow's scheduled to talk, but they need to

2760
02:13:16,400 --> 02:13:18,920
Speaker 1: get things settled there. I'm not panicking. There's no panic

2761
02:13:19,000 --> 02:13:20,840
Speaker 1: button around me anywhere. Here's deep. If there were, I

2762
02:13:20,880 --> 02:13:23,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't even think about pushing it, but I would like

2763
02:13:23,880 --> 02:13:26,400
Speaker 1: I've got your little oshall harness on you, so you

2764
02:13:26,440 --> 02:13:28,680
Speaker 1: don't jump, that's for sure. No, I'm not jumping. I

2765
02:13:28,800 --> 02:13:30,800
Speaker 1: just want to see things settle down. An offensive line,

2766
02:13:30,840 --> 02:13:33,840
Speaker 1: that's the area that intrigues me the most, on the

2767
02:13:33,920 --> 02:13:38,160
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball. For me, I'm pretty confident

2768
02:13:38,200 --> 02:13:40,120
Speaker 1: they've got those guys over there and wired up, and

2769
02:13:40,160 --> 02:13:41,720
Speaker 1: certainly you don't want to lose one of your top

2770
02:13:41,800 --> 02:13:44,760
Speaker 1: offensive linemen before this whole thing gets going. And Mitch Morse,

2771
02:13:44,880 --> 02:13:48,320
Speaker 1: but they've got enough time, they've accumulated enough talent over there,

2772
02:13:48,320 --> 02:13:50,360
Speaker 1: and there is enough versatility that we've seen over the

2773
02:13:50,440 --> 02:13:51,960
Speaker 1: last three weeks that you know they're going to be

2774
02:13:52,000 --> 02:13:54,960
Speaker 1: able to put together a very competitive offensive line with

2775
02:13:55,160 --> 02:13:58,600
Speaker 1: or without Mitch Morse. I think the most question marks

2776
02:13:58,760 --> 02:14:00,880
Speaker 1: remain at the tight end position because of the injuries.

2777
02:14:00,920 --> 02:14:05,080
Speaker 1: All Right. Production assistance today from George Blast, Jeff Coltnick Thomas, Honater,
