1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: Oh, good time, Steve Tasker. Touch down, touch down down time.

2
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: Right back here where we belong. We're right back home.

3
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome to one Bill's live or right

4
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: next door to the Bill's practice field, I near in

5
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: Orchard Park. Nice late summer day here and the Bills

6
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: getting set to get going for their Monday afternoon practice,

7
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: getting ready for preseason game number four, fourth and final

8
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: preseason game this week Thursday night. Hi, everybody, I'm John Murphy.

9
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker is here with us. You know what I mean.

10
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: Don't feel like we're back now. And I know it's

11
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: not regular season, but I feel like it's, uh, we know,

12
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: it's definitely the end of the preseason. It feels like

13
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: that today, that vibe is, that vibe is gone. It's

14
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 1: uh and I hate to say it like this, but

15
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: you know, we all we're kind of all there, all

16
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: the you know, Bills fans and football fans who are

17
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: keeping track of the NFL and watching it coming down

18
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: the tray. Let's get this fourth preseason game out of

19
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: the way. Let's go. You know, it's time ago, you know,

20
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: let's just turn it up a notch. But still got

21
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: one game to go. We had that game in Detroit

22
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: last last Friday night. It was probably the team didn't

23
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: look as good. No, you know, um, they did some

24
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: things later in the game. I thought, you know, they

25
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: certainly they won the game, no question, they left some

26
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: some stuff on the table. They could have played better

27
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: to drive into the first half was pretty solid. Yeah,

28
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: that's right, And I think that was kind of the

29
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 1: first bright spot there was. But as obvious two, there

30
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: was one good reason why the offense didn't look good, murphous.

31
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: They didn't. They weren't throwing the ball. They were handing

32
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: it off. Gore and and McCoy were running it. They

33
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: got a lot of work in and I think that's

34
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: a good thing. They actually ran it pretty well. They

35
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: had like one hundred and twenty five yards at halftime

36
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: or something like that. They ran it well. But you know,

37
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: and I think Josh Josh Allen throwing that horrific interception,

38
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: you know, and I was thinking, you know why I did,

39
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: you know why he did? They weren't letting him throw

40
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: He says, Man, if I'm gonna throw it, if I'm

41
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: gonna make it happen, I gotta do it on the

42
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: on these throws they give me. So he's out there

43
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: throwing this stupid throw off. I mean, that couldn't have

44
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: been You couldn't script a worse throw than that. Yep,

45
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: I was high, lofty, he was running, was his last foot,

46
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: his last foot inbounds, he's jumping, throws it across his

47
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: body like a punt, like fifteen twenty yards down the field.

48
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: It could not have been worse. It was the stupidest

49
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: play he's made and maybe ever, and as a pro

50
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: he I don't even know if he made a stupid

51
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: er throw than that last year. To his credit, he

52
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: readily admitted after the game Friday night that it was

53
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: stupid and he can't let that happen an do it.

54
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: Then we'll give him credit for that, right, So anyway,

55
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: he can't throw that. It was a bad it was.

56
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, it wasn't bad because they ran the

57
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: ball pretty well, but yeah, they weren't throwing it. And

58
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: I think Josh was anty to get a throw in

59
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 1: trying to make something happen in the passing game because

60
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: he knew he wasn't gonna get much of a chance,

61
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: and so he throws the bad throw of all bad throws.

62
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: But aside from that, I mean the team played had

63
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: some moments where they played pretty good. I thought they

64
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: played against the number ones a Detroit played against a

65
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: really good quarterback for the first time this preseason, and

66
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: Matt and Matt Stafford made some made some plays against them.

67
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: Nothing big. Certainly took some good throws to get get

68
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,119
Speaker 1: make some hay against the Bills defense. But all in all,

69
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: I was too disappointed in it. We'll talk more about

70
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: Friday's game as the show goes on. Got a real

71
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: good show, kind of a jam packed show here this Monday.

72
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: Welcome back to work a week for us and for you,

73
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: of course, and we got the Bills on the practice

74
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: field today, their second day of practice this week. They

75
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: practiced yesterday, they're on the field today, and our man

76
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: Chris Brown is standing by live on the sidelines outside

77
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: the ad Pro Sports Training Center for an update on

78
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: today's Buffalo practice. Hello Chris Brown, Come in, Chris, Come in, hello, Chris,

79
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: if you're new. A little windy out here today, but

80
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: feeling a little like September, which is past approaching. So

81
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: back on the field here and getting ready to work

82
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: there and stretch now behind me. The first questions we

83
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: have for you unfortunately going to deal with injuries, some

84
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: of the leftover injuries of last week. And let me

85
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: just start firing names at you, Chris, what do you

86
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: see from Mitch Morse today at this Monday practice. I'm

87
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: sorry you just broke up there on me. So I

88
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: didn't hear the last part of that were you're asking

89
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: about somebody specifically Mitch Morse. Yeah, I mean he's dressed

90
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: for practice as he has been. I mean he practiced yesterday,

91
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: but in what capacity we don't really know, but still

92
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: in the protocol to our knowledge, so we'll have to

93
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: see if things change here. But knowing that it's a

94
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: closed practice, we really won't get to see any team

95
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: portions to know if he's out of the protocol. We're

96
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: just gonna have to check with the powers that be

97
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: to see what the verdict is on that. I can't

98
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: tell you, trudevious White is dressed for practice. It's a

99
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: pad's practice and he's fully decked out in his pads.

100
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: So we'll have to see what his level of participation is.

101
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: Maybe only limited, but certainly a good sign as he's

102
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: trying to come back from that thigh condusion that he

103
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: suffered in Friday's game. What about Quentin Spain, the left guard. Yes, yeah,

104
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: he's on the bike with a couple other guys here.

105
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: Mike Love is still not participating, and DeAndre Wesley, the

106
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: other offensive lineman, not participating either, So those guys still

107
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: spectators at this point. Um. You know, because of the

108
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: nature of the fourth preseason game, you wonder even if

109
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: they were healthy or normally healthy, relatively healthy, of Quentin

110
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: Spain and Mitch Morse would would play at all this

111
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: coming up there to night anyway, right Chris or aren't

112
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: we in that kind of a mode right now? Yeah?

113
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: I would, I would anticipate that. You just have to

114
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: ask yourself, despite all the time that Mitch Morse has missed,

115
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: is it more important that he plays in the last

116
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: preseason game or more important that he plays Week one

117
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: at the Jets. I think it is a pretty easy

118
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: answer to that. So I think all of us are

119
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: expecting that even if Mitch Morris comes out of concussion

120
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: protocol today, tomorrow or the next day, that he's not

121
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: gonna play in that game against the Vikings, Right, Yeah,

122
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: And that's that makes sense. What about the It'll be

123
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: interesting to see what how the offensive line lines up

124
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: now with Mitch Morse out, with Quentin Spain out as well.

125
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: I know Cody Ford moved out to right tackle for

126
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: a has done that off and on is he gonna

127
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: play right guards? He's gonna play right tackles, He's gonna

128
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: play left guard. I'm Spencer Long is in the mix.

129
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: Feliciano's obviously in the Max Wyatt Teller and also last

130
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: week Ike Butker came in before Wyatt Teller made his appearance.

131
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: So how all that's gonna shake out still remains to

132
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: be seen. And you you didn't include Tie and Secki.

133
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: You know Right's still coming back from Nice Ornis, So

134
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: if he's back in the mix, do they deem the

135
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: right side of the line better with Insecki and Ford

136
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: their at right guard? And then you know, do you

137
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: have Feliciano at center if Morris is not back? And

138
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: then who does that put it left guard? Is it

139
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: like Butcher? Is it Spencer Long? So yeah, a lot

140
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: of moving parts still this late in the game, certainly

141
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: not what they wanted, but they got to make the

142
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: best of a tricky situation. Right now, Oh Brownie has

143
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: given me a headache. I've been worried about the offensive

144
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: line for three weeks and we have no answers. We

145
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: may we may not get answers. To worry about what

146
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: you can. Worry about what you can control, Murph, don't

147
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: worry about the things you can't control. All right, thank you, dad? Yeah,

148
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: well that that makes my list really sure about it.

149
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: I'm worried about, no question. Chris Brown, Bills Insider, Buffalo

150
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: Bills dot Com on the sidelines at practice. All right,

151
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: let's I can't control this either, but wide receivers. It

152
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: look things got interesting the last couple of games here,

153
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: preseason games, right with the emergence of Duke Williams, with

154
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: the playing time that Zay Jones got. I don't know

155
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: where that's. I don't worry about this, and this is

156
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: not giving me a headache, but I think that's worth

157
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: watching on this cutdown week. Isn't it the picture they're

158
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: gonna wind up with it? Wide receiver? Yeah? I mean,

159
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: I really, I know. People are saying a lot of

160
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: things about a lot of guys. It was interesting on

161
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: Sunday when coach McDermott was asked specifically about Robert Foster.

162
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: He said that Robert's been dealing with a toe and

163
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: mentioned that it's been since the spring, and so you

164
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: wonder if that has compromised or convinced the coaching staff

165
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: to lighten his loads, so to speak. So he's as

166
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: healthy as possible going into the season, and that you know,

167
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: the lack of seeing him in preseason games has more

168
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 1: to do with that than perhaps anything else. I mean,

169
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: only the coaching staff knows what their true motivation is.

170
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: And then on top of that, I think you've got

171
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: three guys that are primarily working for that presumably sixth

172
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: receiver spot. You're talking about Ray, Ray McLeod, Isaiah McKenzie

173
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: and Duke Williams. And we've talked about how Duke is

174
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: in stark contrast to the kind of receivers that McKenzie

175
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: and McLeod are. I think it's just going to be

176
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: a very difficult decision for them in terms of what

177
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: they want. If you remember last year, right around mid season,

178
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: when they added McKenzie gave McLeod a little bit more

179
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: playing time on the back half of the schedule. It

180
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: was an offense that coach Dabele thought was sorely in

181
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,359
Speaker 1: need of speed, and those two guys provided that McKenzie

182
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: more so than even McLeod. Now we're at a point

183
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 1: where this is a receiving core that lacks true size,

184
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: So does it have enough speed to take the size

185
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: with the sixth spot or do they feel do they

186
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: still feel that they need more speed in their receiving

187
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: core and they need a short, quick, jitterbug kind of

188
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: guy that can execute the jet sweep that we saw

189
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: McKenzie execute for the touchdown in the game on Friday,

190
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: And then we saw McLeod make a play late in

191
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: the game in the second half, and obviously we all

192
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: know the play that Duke Williams made. So it's really

193
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: gonna be I think it's gonna come down. I mean,

194
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: they're all worthy of a roster spot if you ask me,

195
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: I think they're all capable of playing NFL football. The

196
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: question is what, ultimately do they feel they need the most,

197
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: what is lacking in this receiving core more than anything else,

198
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: and that might get them to a spot where they

199
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: pick the guy who they feel fills that void the best. Yeah,

200
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: I kind of I have to agree with you, Brownie.

201
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: I think it's going to come down to all their

202
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: contributions on special teams, what they have on their roster

203
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: for sure, in John Brown, Cole Beasley, Zay Jones, all

204
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: of those guys, and what they want to either compliment

205
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: those guys or add depth to those guys, and what

206
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: contributions other than depth they can make on special teams,

207
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: and what kind of mixed that is. I don't know

208
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: that Duke Williams. I think he's been out on special teams.

209
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: He's a bigger physical guy. He's shown and he certainly

210
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: has not wasted his opportunity in the last couple of weeks.

211
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: Ray Ray McLeod, is he the same thing as Isaiah McKenzie,

212
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: as Isaiah McKenzie better or offer a different or not

213
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: as good a contribution as Ray Ray McLeod. I mean,

214
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: all that stuff's got to go to the hopper. And

215
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: unless you're in the staff meeting, you don't know what

216
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: the individual coaches think about these guys personally off the field,

217
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: what they are in the locker room, who they want

218
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: to coach, who they think has the best upside. That's

219
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: all stuff that we'll never know until the final roster

220
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: comes out, right, And I think the interesting thing there

221
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: too is some of the lengths that they have gone

222
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: to diversify the skill sets of each of those guys,

223
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: whether it's Duke Williams playing on punt units to block,

224
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: whether it's Ray Ray McLeod going from being solely a

225
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 1: return man on special teams to play in gunner, to

226
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: play in punt coverage, not punt coverage, kick coverage. So

227
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 1: they're trying to diversify the roles for all of these guys.

228
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: And let's not forget what coach McDermott said last week. Also,

229
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: there is a level of expectation on the part of

230
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: the receivers to block in the running game. That was

231
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: an aspect that was sorely lacking from the receiving corps

232
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: last year. It's one of the main reasons that Zay

233
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: Jones put on eight pounds a lean muscle mass so

234
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: he could be bigger and stronger in the run game.

235
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: We've seen Robert Foster block in the run game before.

236
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: Has he gotten better at that? And then you go

237
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: down the line. Duke Williams is certainly a guy that

238
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 1: has shown he's capable of blocking in the run game.

239
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: How effective are guys like Ray Ray Ray McLeod and

240
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie, guys of smaller stature, Are they effective enough

241
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: in the run game to block down field. If not,

242
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: are they not going to be on the field in

243
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: those situations? And does that make your offense more predictable?

244
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: There's so many layers here to kind of navigate through that.

245
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: I think some of these decisions may surprise people, but

246
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 1: you have to believe the methodical nature of coach McDermott

247
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: and his staff. They're gonna be going through this with

248
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: a fine toothcomb. With Chris Brown built inside of Buffalo

249
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: Bills dot Com on the field watching practice and we're

250
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: talking to him about today's practice, Bills getting set for

251
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: preseason game number four, and the interest in the wide

252
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: receiving corps. Chris, and look, that's the only way I

253
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: know how to ask this. What's your level of certainty

254
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: percentage wise that both Zay Jones and Robert Foster are

255
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: on the roster after Saturday four PM? I would say

256
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: seventy five twenty five? Okay, I can I think I

257
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: agree with that. Others don't feel that that firmly about it. Steve. Yeah,

258
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: they're basing it solely on playing time and amount of

259
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: plays that have been made in preseason. And I get

260
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: that because a lot of times that is what is

261
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: the final h if that's what helps coaches, you know,

262
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: come down on a final point like this is where

263
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: I'm coming down on this guy based on what he

264
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: did in the preseason. But after hearing coach McDermott talk

265
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: about the faith that he had in Robert Foster making

266
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: the kinds of plays that he needs to make after

267
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: the first preseason game against Indianapolis, and then hearing him

268
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: just yesterday talk about a possible toe problem that Robert's been,

269
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: you know, working his way through. Maybe it's some nagging

270
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: thing that we're unaware of because injuries don't have to

271
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: be fully disclosed this time of year. It's leaning me

272
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: more in favor of him being on this Foster and

273
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: I think what he thinks of Zay Jones and all

274
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: the roles that coach Dabele has him playing. He knows

275
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: all of the receiver positions in this offense, and I

276
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: don't know that there's anybody else on the roster that does,

277
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: especially knowing that Beasley and Brown are new to this scheme.

278
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: So I think there's hidden value in those two guys

279
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: that maybe not everyone's seeing right now. Yeah, I think Robert,

280
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: I think the thing about Robert Foster. He did splash

281
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: so big last year at a time when the team

282
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: was looking for somebody to play well. Being able to

283
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: catch the deep ball, and you know, having one of

284
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: the top yards per catch averages in the league last

285
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: year in the last six or eight games of the season,

286
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: do you think he's shown enough in other aspects of

287
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: his game to do something other than just get the

288
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: deep ball. Can he run intermediate round? Says he had

289
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: a chance to do that. Does he have the ability

290
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: to be a bigger part of the offense than he

291
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: was a year ago, because I think that's probably what

292
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: it's going to take for him to make it. Well.

293
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: If you look at the last three games of the

294
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: season last year, he was doing that. He wasn't just

295
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: running go round anymore. He was running some of those

296
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: deep crossers, he was running some underneath routes. He was

297
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: getting in those hook zones. So they were diversifying his

298
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: skill set over those last three games of the season

299
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: last year when they were making a conscious effort to

300
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: push younger players onto the field, both on offense end defense,

301
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: and I think they felt that Robert was at a

302
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: point where he was capable of diversifying, you know, the

303
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: kinds of route assignments he was going to be tasked with,

304
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: and we saw that in the last three games of

305
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: the year last year. I know we're kind of far

306
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: removed from that, but he was doing that towards the

307
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: end of last season. Chris Brown was with us on

308
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: the practice field of Bills just getting ready to go,

309
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: getting started with their practice today, getting ready for preseason

310
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: game number four. Chris, and look, one of the big

311
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: questions going into preseason this year was the running back crew.

312
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about that because after three

313
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: preseason games and anticipating that Gore and McCoy and maybe

314
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: even Singletary won't see any action at all this Thursday

315
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: night against Minnesota, I have to say I don't have

316
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: a clearer picture of their inten and how to use

317
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: those running backs or what the pecking order might be.

318
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: Then it was a month ago when camp began, do

319
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: you yeah. I mean, I think if there's one thing

320
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: that sonoras Perry has over T. J. Eldon, it's the

321
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: special team's expertise. And if you're going to be the

322
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: fourth running back, you better be on all the special

323
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: teams units. And I don't know that t J. Elden

324
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: can say that, So I think that's where Perry may

325
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: have an edge. Some people might say, well, I mean

326
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: t J. Eldon was the number two running back coming

327
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: out of the state of Alabama as a high schooler,

328
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: and you know, played at Alabama and was successful as

329
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: a national champion, and it's certainly talented, and I don't

330
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: think any of us can argue that. But it's what

331
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: kind of fit he is for the Bills, and the

332
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: fit they're looking for from their fourth running back is

333
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: someone that can perform on special teams and be pretty

334
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: versatile in that area because he's not going to be

335
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: getting a lot of carries in games on Sundays with

336
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: three guys in front of him. So the value kind

337
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: of shifts from almost will take a running back who

338
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: might be maybe just a shade under what t J.

339
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: Eldon is as a running back, because he offers so

340
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: much more over here in this phase of the game.

341
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: And those are the things that I think go by

342
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: the board. Um sometimes when people on the outside looking in,

343
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: you know, are scratching their head over roster decisions, but

344
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: those are the kinds of decisions that they that this

345
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: coaching staff is going to make because they value special

346
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: teams and know with a new coordinator, they're gonna have

347
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: to get him as many experienced guys as possible to

348
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: kind of put that puzzle together this year. And you're okay,

349
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: you're you've talked about the top the bottom of the

350
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: running back dep chart. What about the top of the

351
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: depth chart again, anticipating the top two and maybe top

352
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: three guys won't even play Thursday. How are they going

353
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: to use these three? How are they gonna space out

354
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: their reps? What do you what do you afford? What

355
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: do you mean when they get to the regular season?

356
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: I understand it now, Okay, yeah, I mean I still

357
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: think that you know, McCoy is going to be the

358
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: first guy through the rotation um. But I think anybody

359
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: that believes that LeJean McCoy is going to reach two

360
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: hundred carries if all three of those guys are healthy

361
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: all season long, I just don't see it. I think

362
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: we have to remember that Lashawn in some of his

363
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: most productive seasons here, averaged about eighteen and a half

364
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: carries a game, if memory serves. I want to go

365
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: back to the twenty sixteen season, he's averaged eighteen and

366
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: a half carries a game. So now we're three years

367
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: removed from that. You've got guys who are certainly capable

368
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: in Frank Gore and Devin Singletary. So I'm anticipating more

369
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: of a committee approach, quite frankly, and I don't think

370
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,959
Speaker 1: we should be surprised by that for a couple of reasons.

371
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 1: Number One, Devin Singletary has proven himself more than capable

372
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: of handling not just the early down types of plays,

373
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: but he's handled pass protection. He's shown he's got a

374
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: receiving ability through the course of the preseason, So I

375
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be a package of plays for him

376
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: every week. Gore, we know what he can do. McCoy,

377
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: we know what he can do. So now you say,

378
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: let's put them all together and use them when we

379
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: need to use them. And if you go back to

380
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,479
Speaker 1: Brian Dables coaching tree, I think you're gonna see a

381
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: very similar model with the running back rotation to what

382
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: we see in New England. Is Lashawn McCoy, the James

383
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: White you know, is Frank Gore, the Rex Birkhead you know,

384
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: And is Devin Singletary the guy kind of sprinkle in

385
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: and mix in for a set of fresh legs, maybe

386
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 1: in the third quarter. So I think that's probably what

387
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna be looking at this season. What about the

388
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: tight end, how are they going to shake out? Who

389
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: do we see? Is there any change to that roster

390
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: and how they're lining up. Well, I haven't really had

391
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: a chance to get a good look at them there

392
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: on the other field over there, But I think the

393
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 1: biggest issue here is Tyler Croft. He's a guy that

394
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: is still on active pup right now. I think what

395
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: his prognosis is on the inside, which we don't know

396
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: in terms of a potential return, could impact the tight

397
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: end group. And what I mean by that is if

398
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: they're not expecting him to be ready week one, two, three, well,

399
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: in my estimation, you're probably best or putting him on

400
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: reserve pup, which means he's not able to come back

401
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: and begin practicing until week seven, and then that affords

402
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: you time. You can buy time. So now, if you

403
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: want to keep four tight ends, you keep the two

404
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: rookie draft choices, you keep Jason Croom, you keep Lee Smith,

405
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: and off you go for the first half of the

406
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: season and then you figure it out later. If and

407
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: when Croft comes back and looks good and healthy, I

408
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if that's the route they take when

409
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: they get to roster cutdown time this weekend. If for

410
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: some reason Tyler Croft has some miraculous recovery they know

411
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: will be ready by week two, well then that changes

412
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 1: of the dynamic completely. And if you're going based on

413
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: body of work here through the course of the preseason,

414
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but I think Jason Croom

415
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: is probably on the outside looking in. Kroom did not play.

416
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: You know. I watched some warm up Friday in Detroit

417
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: and he was like a active It was an active,

418
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: vigorous warm up, but he did not play. And I

419
00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: assume he's getting close right right, Well, he came back,

420
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: He came back. He was limited in practice to the

421
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: course of the early part of last week, and then

422
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: all of a sudden he sat practice on Wednesday. I

423
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: was like, oh boy, that's not good. And we never

424
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: got a full diagnosis on what his situation was, but

425
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: certainly that's not good. He came back for two days

426
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: in a limited capacity. I don't know if he was

427
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: ever a full practice participant again, because we're not watching

428
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,959
Speaker 1: practice start to finish anymore, and then Wednesday he's watching

429
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: and that was not a good sign. So I'm concerned

430
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: for his long range potential here based on the fact

431
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 1: that he just can't stay on the field right now.

432
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: We know, guys, the number one ability in the NFL

433
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 1: is availability, right look, and I think Dawson knocks. Even

434
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: though he didn't catch a past the other night, he

435
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: had a couple and he had the nice block on

436
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: the outside to spring Devin Singletary for the touchdown of

437
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: the game. Did you get a chance to evaluate what

438
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 1: you thought of his game as the first time he

439
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: had a chance to play. Yeah, I mean, I'd agree

440
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: with you, Steve. I was surprised with his effectiveness blocking,

441
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: especially after a long layoff. You know, he's off the

442
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: field for a few weeks with the hamstring injury, and

443
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: I think everybody would anticipate that in short order he'd

444
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: get back in the flow in terms of the passing game.

445
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: But knowing that the clear game plan in this preseason

446
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: game was to show an ability to run the football,

447
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: reset the line of scrimmage, and really get those things moving.

448
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,479
Speaker 1: The fact that he was an active participant in that

449
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: and actually held his own now, I'm not gonna say

450
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: he was out there dominating, but he didn't look like

451
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: it didn't belong. And to come off a three week

452
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: layoff and show an ability to do that, I thought

453
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: was a very good sign for Dawson Knox going forward.

454
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: Chris Brown. We got a few minutes up with Chris.

455
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: He's out on the practice field as the Bills are

456
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: getting going on their Monday morning practice ready for Thursday

457
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: nights game. Just about the defense for a minute, Chris.

458
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: Anybody in particular on the defensive side of the ball

459
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 1: that you think this week is especially important for at

460
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 1: any position, at any level of the defense, who needs

461
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: to practice well and play well Thursday to earn the

462
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: right to stick around here. Anybody come to mind. Eddie

463
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: Yarborough is a guy that's really going to have to

464
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: scrape and claw with Mike Love on the shelf this week.

465
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: He may have an extended opportunity, and that's one of

466
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: the guys he's battling against. He's been behind Mike Love

467
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 1: and Darryl Johnson, the seventh round draft pick, pretty much

468
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 1: since training camp got under way, and he has been

469
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: unable to leap frog them on the depth chart. He's

470
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: been running with the third team a lot of the time,

471
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 1: occasionally the second team. So if Love is not in

472
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 1: the lineup this week, that should afford him a monster opportunity.

473
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: He's just got to hope it's not too little, too late,

474
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: because it's been a it's proven tough for him to

475
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: get ahead of those two guys. Mike Love kind of

476
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: re developed his body in the offseason, added eight to

477
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,479
Speaker 1: nine pounds, a lean muscle mass, looks faster and quicker

478
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: off the ball. He's made a difference. He took the

479
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: offseason program that the strength and conditioning staff gave him

480
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: here in his exit interview last year and maximized it

481
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: to the hilt, and it's made a difference for him.

482
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: The coaching staffs noticed. He's been rewarded for it in

483
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: terms of where his reps are coming with the second unit.

484
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: And so now you know, you look at that group,

485
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: are they gonna keep five defensive ends? If they are,

486
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: you know, Mike Love or Darryl Johnson are probably four

487
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: or five, knowing Jerry Trent Murphy and Jerry Hughes the

488
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: or Jerry Trent Murphy and Shack Lawson are the top three.

489
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: So that's kind of where it's at right now. So

490
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: I think Eddie Yarborough's gonna have a big game. How

491
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: likely is it that I'm talking about? Move this back

492
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: to the linebackers. I know you've got you're gonna keep,

493
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: you know, uh, probably eight defensive linemen. If you keep

494
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: nine defensive linemen and all of a sudden, Eddie Yarborough

495
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: is one of those, uh well, no, it wouldn't be

496
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: one of those. It would be Daryl Johnson would be right,

497
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 1: it would be the Darryl Johnson would be the ninth.

498
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 1: And then what do you do? Dts? Right? And then

499
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 1: what about linebacker? Do you do you keep anybody? You're

500
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: gonna take Vashon Joseph, You're gonna let him go. That's

501
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: your seventh linebacker right now. Then you're now you're starting

502
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: to get into some problems with your numbers on side

503
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: of the ball, right right, I think they're only keeping

504
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: six six linebackers. So yeah, that might be a place

505
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: where there's a surprise cut and you hope you can

506
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: sneak somebody on the practice squad, provided they have practice

507
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: squad eligibility. So there's gonna be a lot of tough decisions.

508
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: Here's guys, and I had a lot of positions, not

509
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: just one or two. I mean d end as we

510
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 1: just mentioned, linebacker, is Steve just mentioned wide receiver, tight end,

511
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: running back, and also a run down the list. It's

512
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: gonna be hard. And there's some cornerbacks over there that

513
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,479
Speaker 1: can really go. And they're like sitting at six seventh

514
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: on the roster a depth chart. I mean, you can't

515
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: keep seven corners. I mean they really They're gonna let

516
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: some guys who can really play and who have played

517
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: well for the team. They're gonna have to be cut loose. Yeah,

518
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: And I think we kind of recognize that in the

519
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: early going, guys that this was going to be a

520
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: hard roster to make this season, and they're probably gonna

521
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: be five, six, maybe seven players who get cut from

522
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: this roster where you're going to see end up on

523
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: other rosters and play on Sunday this season. We're with

524
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: Chris Brown a couple of minutes left as he joined

525
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: us from the Bill's practice field. They don't have a

526
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: decision to make on ed Oliver, their first round draft pick, Chris,

527
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: but it's been a quiet three preseason games for ed

528
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 1: Oliver and yet I don't. I'm not worried about him, right.

529
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they'll get him into regular rotation

530
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,719
Speaker 1: up front, and I think they'll design specific packages with

531
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver in mind. I'm not worried about it, even

532
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: though he has been relatively quiet through three preseason games. Yeah,

533
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know if I would agree with

534
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: quiet for the preseason. I think he's been pretty disruptive now.

535
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: I know he doesn't have the sack totals, doesn't necessarily

536
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: have the quarterback hits. But I made a point of

537
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: watching him in the game on Friday, and I thought

538
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: he was getting consistent push. He had a couple of

539
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: wins on some swim and rip moves that seemed to

540
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: work really good for him. He was getting doubled too,

541
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 1: So I'm pretty encouraged by what we're seeing from him,

542
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,719
Speaker 1: because he hasn't even come close to putting it all

543
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: together yet. I thought he's played pretty well. I thought

544
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: he played very well in the first preseason game. Again,

545
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: it's probably one of the top two guards in football

546
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: and Quenton Nelson, so I think his arrows pointing up.

547
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: He's on the ascent right now, and when he puts

548
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: it all together. He's gonna be a menace. And I'm

549
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: just gonna tell you right now. I was talking to

550
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: Lee Smith in the locker room last week and I

551
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: was talking to him about a player on offense, you

552
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: know he kind of ticks people off. And he said, well, yeah,

553
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: that guy's the Ed Oliver of the offense. I said,

554
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: what do you mean. He said, well, Ed's in practice

555
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,959
Speaker 1: and he's ticking people off every day because he's just

556
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: a menace. He's just a he's tough to handle. He

557
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: gets really he's really low off the off the snap

558
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: because he's built so low to the ground, and he's

559
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: given the offensive lineman fits every single day. So quiet

560
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: preseason maybe in terms of numbers, but not in terms

561
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: of performance. From from where I've from where I sit, yeah,

562
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: I kind of tend to agree Ed Oliver is. You know,

563
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: he'll I think he's more of a help to the

564
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: entire defense than he is a personal you know, gonna

565
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: get personal stats. I think there are a lot of

566
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 1: guys who are going to benefit from him. Also, a

567
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: guy like Trent Murphy, who I know, he had a

568
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 1: really nice sack in another hurry in Carolina. How's Trent

569
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: Murphy looked. I mean, all We've done a couple of

570
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: stories and every time we talk about him, he's like

571
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: a different guy this year. Is that gonna continue to

572
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 1: be the case? I mean, from what I've seen, I

573
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: would say yes. The thing that we did not see

574
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 1: from him last year ever, at least that I can

575
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: remember in terms of winning is one on one matchups

576
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: up front was a consistent inside move. And he has

577
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: got an inside move that he has flashed this preseason

578
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: that I did not see from him last year. And

579
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: I think it's because he has the confidence to drive

580
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: off that bad leg that you know, had the ACL

581
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: injury and work back up inside. And he's done that

582
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,959
Speaker 1: a few times. He won on a play against Detroit

583
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: on Friday where he just totally got the tackle to

584
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: overset and he came up under him and he was

585
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: in the quarterback flush and Stafford out of the pocket.

586
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: So all signs from Murphy are encouraging. But see the

587
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: diversification of his game back in full force, I think

588
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: is what's going to help him more than anything rack

589
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: up numbers for this team this season. Hey Chris, before

590
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: we let you go, just a question about you know,

591
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: the overriding issue in the NFL will last thirty six

592
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: hours Andrew Luck's retirement. I can't think of any real

593
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: strong connections from the Bill's current roster or coaching staff

594
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: to Andrew Luck, but I'm sure they'll have some thoughts

595
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: about it, probably be asked about it after practice today. Huh, Yeah,

596
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: I would anticipate that. I don't know if Trent Murphy,

597
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember if Trent Murphy's career across passed

598
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: with Andrews at Stanford. I believe it did. Harrison obviously

599
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: was a little too late to run across him as

600
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: a college teammate, but I believe Trent spent at least

601
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: a year maybe two with Andrew Luck at Stanford, so

602
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: he would obviously be a target for that. And I

603
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if Trent kind of re out to him,

604
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: knowing the player and the teammate that he is. So yeah,

605
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody's got to do what's best for them,

606
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: and I think, you know, there's been a lot of

607
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: hard headed people on social media that don't seem to

608
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: get that and are more worried about the state of

609
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: their fantasy team after drafting Andrew Luck than they are

610
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: about the person, and that's a shame that we live

611
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: in that kind of a world. But you know, Andrew's

612
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: got to do what's best for him and his family,

613
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: and I think everybody's got to respect that. You know,

614
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: nobody's mandated to play NFL football and if it's not

615
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: what's for him, then go do something else. And that's

616
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: what he's gonna do, and more power to him. Yeah,

617
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: I kind of agree with you. It's his call. Ultimately.

618
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: The timing of it makes you kind of raise your eyebrows.

619
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: I I know how hard it is to rehab. I

620
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: did it for a ton of my career as well.

621
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: It's no fun. It's zero fun. In fact, you know,

622
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: when you get to a point in your career and

623
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: I'll bet Andrew Luck is in this same shape where

624
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: you've had so many injuries over the course of your career.

625
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: You can't even train when you're healthy the way you

626
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: want to train, because you have to train around scar

627
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: tissue and bad bad wheel here, bad elbow there, bad whatever.

628
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: So I get how you get worn down. That's why

629
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: a lot of guys do it. I'm I mean, I

630
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: am shocked that after seven years he's had enough of it.

631
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: But his litany of injuries are it's nothing. It's nothing

632
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: to to take for granted, it's a it's a long list. Chris,

633
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: timing not good, but when it's time, it's time. I

634
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: just look it up. It looks like they may have

635
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: played three years together at Stanford, so he'd be a

636
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: good guy to talk to about that, Okay, Chris, thank

637
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: thank you, thanks thanks for getting us updated here. Uh

638
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: and I hope we get a chance to check with tomorrow.

639
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: I think we will. Thanks Chris, all right, we'll see

640
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: you that guys. Chris Brown Bills inside Buffalo Bills dot

641
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: Com on the practice field, the Bills getting set for

642
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: their matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. And yes, the Andrew

643
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: Luck story is the story that has dominated NFL coverage

644
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: for almost a day and a half now, Steve um

645
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: And you gave your opinion, and I get of course

646
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck has the right to do what he wants

647
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: to do. And of course the rehab he said it,

648
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: you know, the injury, the cycle injury rehab, you know,

649
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: fighting to come back. It's tough, it's very tough. But

650
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: there are people and I don't think it's just fantasy players.

651
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: There are people who feel let down, or at least

652
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: people who feel like the timing could have been better.

653
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: And I regardless of what we feel, it's his choice, right.

654
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: The game is too difficult to try to play without

655
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: having to take, you know, opinions from somebody else's to

656
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: what your course a bunch And as far as the

657
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: timing being wrong or not right, listen, nobody gets to

658
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: schedule their injuries. Yeah you know. I mean he didn't

659
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: get to schedule the bad ankle he's got and if

660
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: and the thing about it too is this, most guys

661
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: will have an injury that they have to rehab from.

662
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: And if you go down the list of what what

663
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck has had to deal with, it is not

664
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: a recurring ankle. It's not a chronic back. It's not

665
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: a shot. He had the shoulder that he kind of

666
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: played through one year and then lost an entire year

667
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: because of that shoulder, but came back last year, was

668
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: Comeback Player of the Year through for forty five hundred

669
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: plus yards. I mean, the guy had a great, great season,

670
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: went to the playoffs. But the fact that it is

671
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: always something different lends a different level of wearing you

672
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: out to it. Yeah, And like I said, one of

673
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: the reasons I retired when I finally did was I

674
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: couldn't train hard enough to get ready to play. I

675
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: had to train around all the problems that injuries had

676
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: caused me over the years. I couldn't do heavy weights,

677
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: I couldn't do intense, high intensity workouts like I did

678
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: when I was younger. And you feel like you're you're

679
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: not working out, you're not getting ready to play. It

680
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: looks like you're just exercising, and there's something different about that,

681
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: and it wears you out. And I know that after

682
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,479
Speaker 1: you know, let's face it, the guy's been doing this

683
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: for seven years. It's never let up, and he's sick

684
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: of it. And you know how, you know, he didn't

685
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: get to pick the timing. The one thing and I

686
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: do want to talk about this is the show goes Along,

687
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: is we are in a different era of the NFL

688
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: where players have our option, right, Andrew Luck took advantage

689
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: of an option that he had that maybe, you know,

690
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: quarterback twenty five thirty years ago would not have because

691
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: of money. But we'll talk about that. It's made seventy

692
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: five million dollars. I mean, you know, what. That's a

693
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: big issue. Sure, not a bad issue. That's that's a

694
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,760
Speaker 1: big consideration for guys who you know what, I still

695
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: I'm still not financially in the pend. I got it,

696
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: you know. I'll tell you I got to take the

697
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: money for my family. Yeah, well he doesn't have that.

698
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: That's not an issue for him. That's a factor as well.

699
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 1: We'll get into it. Our show is pretty jam packed.

700
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: We've got great co sal from NFL Films coming up

701
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: at one o'clock today. We'll talk with him a little

Speaker 1: we're not we're not on the road anymore, see at

727
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: from here, which is fine. But boy, the last month

728
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: when you think about it, right, it's a little bit

729
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,760
Speaker 1: more than a month since camp began. We're in Rochester,

730
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: we were in Carolina, we were in Charlotte doing shows.

731
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: We're in Detroit last week and now we're here in

732
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: art your Park finally. Yeah, good. A couple of days

733
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: in Detroit, right, you stayed for the game. I stayed

734
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: for a Saturday wedding. We both hit good weekends. I

735
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: stayed different games. We drove back right after the game

736
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: and uh through you know through it took the Canada

737
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: to the north of the Lake and it was good.

738
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: We got at home about four am, which kind of

739
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: put a damper on my weekend a little bit. I

740
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: had to catch up with some sleep. But um, the

741
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 1: game was fun. Detroit. The stadium, you forget that. That

742
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: stadium is different. It's unique. They've had a super Bowl

743
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: in that stadium. Was there, which I was. I was like,

744
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a super Bowl stadium or not. Why, Um,

745
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: the concourses that you know, I know it's got a

746
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 1: lot of suites, you know, for for the corporate people

747
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: that do it. I don't know about the concourses. It

748
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,280
Speaker 1: was Steelers Seahawks. I was there. It was fine, right right, Yeah,

749
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 1: it was fine. Yeah, it was I might like. It's

750
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 1: a good stadium, big enough, and it's certainly I think

751
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: it's one of the most intimate stadiums in the league. Yeah.

752
00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: People are all right there. I mean the fans seemed close.

753
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: Even when you look across the stadium. It teams close,

754
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: so it does seem like an intimate stadium. But the

755
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: game was good. I mean, it was good to have

756
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: the Bill's defense go against Matt Stafford didn't know if

757
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: he'd play a lot at all. I'll tell you what,

758
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,720
Speaker 1: in the first half of that game, when Tradevious White

759
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: stayed down, Levi Wallace stayed down, Quentin Spain went off

760
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,439
Speaker 1: the field. I was like, oh, yeah, you know. But

761
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: let's that's what you gotta do. You gotta pray, you

762
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta play pray, you gotta do that to

763
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: you do you have to, But in that case, you

764
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: gotta play guys. That's all there is to it. You

765
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: gotta play them, and you gotta play these preseason games

766
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: and you gotta give guys a chance to get sharp.

767
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: And it's it's a tough balance. Smon. The Andrew Luck

768
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: retirement news just jumped out of nowhere. Saturday night. I'm

769
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 1: at a wedding. I got a text from you guys.

770
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: You and Ja Yeah, sent me the text at the

771
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 1: wedding and I started showing that that Twitter like a grenade. Yeah.

772
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: People at the wedding were like, is this a real account?

773
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, I think it is. I think it's so. Yeah,

774
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 1: leave the wedding, and I didn't leave for this, but

775
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 1: turned down the TV watching. Uh, I forget who charge

776
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:01,760
Speaker 1: your in? Somebody? And all of a sudden the Andrew

777
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: Luck news conference, and you know, we want to talk

778
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: about a little bit today. That's our Twitter poll. Did

779
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: he do the right thing? Walking away? And you can

780
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: call it something? Let us know what you think. Eight

781
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: oh three five fifty toll free one eight eight eight

782
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty. You can vote on the

783
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,879
Speaker 1: Twitter poll, which is you're right now say yes he did.

784
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: It's only only one answer. Yeah, and people are right.

785
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 1: I agree he did do the right thing because that's

786
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: what he wanted to do. I will say this, he

787
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: is emboldened to do the right thing for him because

788
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 1: of the money right and because of the era in

789
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: which we live in the NFL, players make a ton

790
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: of money and have a better chance to assess the

791
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: risk rewarded playing in the NFL. That's what Andrew Luck

792
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: has done. And I don't blame him. I don't blame

793
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 1: him at all. No, you can't, not at all. I

794
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: get it completely. And we all have seen teams unceremoniously

795
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: kick there, you know, players to the curb, you know,

796
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: I mean, or cut guys. And now they don't do

797
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 1: it to our players, obviously, but they certainly it happens there.

798
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,919
Speaker 1: It's gonna happen in a week. You know, they're gonna

799
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 1: cut forty guys from the roster, thirty seven guys from

800
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: a ninety man roster. They're gonna be gone. That's the

801
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 1: way the league works. So certainly the club, it's notoriously

802
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,760
Speaker 1: they don't. The players contracts aren't guaranteed, most of them,

803
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 1: and so the club has the option to do that

804
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: at any point, and of course the player can reciprocate

805
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 1: anytime he wants. And I think it's shocking for most

806
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: of us that a star player and what many regard

807
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: as an elite quarterback in the league said, you know what,

808
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: I've had enough, certainly, And I was telling you this

809
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,479
Speaker 1: murph in the office is a bit of a little

810
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: bit ago. We had this conversation. I go, listen, you're

811
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: if a guy's out there grinding a way and has

812
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: a second job in the offseason, he's not quitting. You know, Um,

813
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck has something better to do than play pro

814
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 1: football whatever he wants, yeah, you know, and the and

815
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: the financial independence to do that. Yeah, he's got a

816
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: financial independence to do. I don't care if he does

817
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: have to give back twelve million bucks of his signing bonus,

818
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: which I heard some guy chiming from. I don't know

819
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: if that's trying of taking any money back. There you go.

820
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,280
Speaker 1: You know, the guy laid it on the line form

821
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:16,280
Speaker 1: for an earned whatever contract they gave him walk away.

822
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: The airwaves and the social media sites were filled with

823
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: reaction yesterday. Some I think over the top. The knucklehead

824
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: Doug Gottlieb, the former college basketball cheater, tweeted out something

825
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: about he's a typical millennial doesn't want to work hard. Okay,

826
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: that's ridiculous. Our buddy Dan Docks from Indianapolis also had

827
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: some harsh tweets about Luck. Basically, his message was, see

828
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 1: I told you about this guy, your buddy. See Burline,

829
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: former NFL on CBS announcer, and an interesting take when

830
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 1: he said, I am a huge Andrew Luck fan, always

831
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: have been, but this I cannot defend or justify steer.

832
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 1: Berline says no scenario where retirement is defensible to do

833
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: this to his teammates or organization fans in the NFL

834
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: two weeks for the start of the season is just

835
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: not right. I love the guy, but this will haunt him.

836
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: Is it the timing that gets Burline and a lot

837
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 1: of these people U bollocks up here? He thinks absolutely,

838
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 1: and what I said to use and I get it.

839
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: And this is just the first of a bunch of

840
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 1: tweets that Steve the Stinger put out. Steve Burlin's a

841
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: real good friend of mine, and he went down to

842
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 1: and he makes some great points. There's no question about it.

843
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: For the amount of money that the Colts invested in him,

844
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 1: to leave them like this at this moment really puts

845
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: them on the schneide. They were counting on him. They

846
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: had a lot of draft capital this year, they had

847
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: a lot of free agent money. They could have been

848
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 1: set up in a much better place. The simple fact

849
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: of the matter is, and like I told you this,

850
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: you can't schedule an an injury. You don't get to

851
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: schedule it. This is because of an injury that he's sustaining.

852
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: It he does or not want to put in what

853
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: all it's gonna take for him to put in to

854
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 1: coming back and playing with the prospect of getting hurt again.

855
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: He's done, and he didn't schedule this. It's not his

856
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: choice to make when it happened, but it's time for

857
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: it to happen now. You could, and I think it

858
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: would have been wrong for him to say, all right,

859
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna take the money for the

860
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: first six weeks of the season, even though I know

861
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna play. He would have been on the roster,

862
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 1: he would have been making Listen, he would have been

863
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: making what three point two million a game or something

864
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: like that, Not quite, but you'd have been making seven

865
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 1: figures a game for standing on the sidelines in shorts

866
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 1: and a T shirt. That's all he would have had

867
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: to do. And he decided to do that, and he said, listen,

868
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:33,879
Speaker 1: it's not I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna

869
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 1: do it. I'm calling it quits now. So and on

870
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: that respect, it works both ways, and Steve Burline called

871
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 1: him out. The timing of it stinks, and for all

872
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: the things that the Colts have given to him and

873
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: done for him and vice versa, it's a relationship that

874
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: deserves to be not so abruptly ended. I got it

875
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: and that's that I think is the big issue for

876
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: a lot of people. Hey, we're gonna take a break,

877
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: and you have reaction to it as well. We'll take

878
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 1: some of your calls, read some of your tweets when

879
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: we return. We are just getting rolling. One Bill's Live,

880
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: presented by Klaida Health from One Bill's Drive. This is

881
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:20,879
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio, One Bill's Life. Jamber. If he's Steve

882
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 1: Tasker raving time management issues here on the show, I

883
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 1: don't know why I blame me. I do. I just

884
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,280
Speaker 1: think we stay Maybe we stayed too long with Brownie,

885
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: too many questions, but you know we got a big

886
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 1: roster week coming up here. What do you think Andrew

887
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 1: Luck's decision, Let's hear what you say. Give us a

888
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:35,919
Speaker 1: call Tom on the West side of Buffalo, go ahead,

889
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: time you're on the air with us. Hey, guys, I

890
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: think he kind of made the right decision. I mean,

891
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: he's walking away while he could still walk and Steve

892
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: will agree with that. And he didn't have to pay

893
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: back the twelve or twelve point eight million dollars that

894
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: he would have old because that was already paid to

895
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: him and they're letting him walk away with twenty four

896
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 1: point eight million dollars. Now, that's a nice retirement settlement.

897
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, I honestly believe that it could

898
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: be the second coming of Reich and Kelly because I

899
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: have no faith in Brissette. I don't think Brissetta is

900
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: gonna make it as a starter. He's already showed flaws

901
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 1: in his game, and Kelly is looking good as long

902
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 1: as he gets stay out of trouble. It is a

903
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: break for Chad Kelly. Yeah, I think so, And I'll

904
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: tell you yeah, I mean, Chad's problems have been off

905
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 1: the field, not on it, right, and I got a

906
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,439
Speaker 1: little bit of I got a little bit of faith

907
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,439
Speaker 1: in Frank Reich and his ability to handle a guy

908
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: like Chad Kelly and the club to do some things

909
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 1: differently than other clubs have done with Chad Kelly. I mean,

910
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: I don't if if you yeah, that's an interesting take, Tom,

911
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:59,240
Speaker 1: because if Jacoby percent is not the guy and suddenly

912
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 1: Chad Kelly he comes the guy, you got to know

913
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,280
Speaker 1: that it's gonna be a real stressful situation for him.

914
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a lot of pressure for him. It's

915
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: gonna be an enormous opportunity they didn't. Probably at times

916
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: he thought was never gonna come back to him. So,

917
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 1: and here's the thing. When all that stuff hits it once,

918
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: Chad Kelly is going to be standing there and you

919
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 1: gotta wonder how he's gonna handle that, because he hasn't

920
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: handled it well in the past. When the chip, when

921
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: it's gotten to be stressful, or when he starts to

922
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 1: have some success, and when the opportunities have come he

923
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:32,240
Speaker 1: has he has gone around the bend off the field.

924
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 1: He hasn't been able to handle it. In his personal life.

925
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,800
Speaker 1: It's taken him down some places where he came apart.

926
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 1: So if if I'm Frank Wich in the Indianapolis Colts,

927
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Okay, you know what, Chad, you see this

928
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: guy right here, I don't know what, and I'll make

929
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: up a name's Joe Schmo, Charlie six pack, Billy bag

930
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 1: of donuts, whatever they're gonna have. I would hire a

931
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: guy that would sit in Chad Kelly's pocket and just

932
00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 1: be a life coach. If if if he's going to

933
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:04,240
Speaker 1: be the guy that's starting games for your multi billion

934
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: dollar franchise, yeah, you hire some guy and say, listen,

935
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: you sit with him and you keep him out of trouble.

936
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: You teach him how how to handle it. You know,

937
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,479
Speaker 1: you get you hold his head. Here's you're I'm gonna

938
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: handcuff you to Chad Kelly. And if he gets into trouble,

939
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,399
Speaker 1: not only is he gonna get in trouble, You're gonna

940
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 1: be in trouble. That's what I do. I mean, you

941
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: just get a life coach for the guy and you

942
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: keep him on the straight and narrow and you help

943
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:38,919
Speaker 1: him handle it, you emotionally, spiritually, professionally, mechanically, schedule wise, life.

944
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: You get a life coach for him. And because if

945
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,240
Speaker 1: it turns down, if you're down the road, if Amandrew

946
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 1: Luck's gone, Jacoby Brissette blows it and Chad Kelly's the

947
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:52,359
Speaker 1: next guy in line, it's time for desperate measures. So

948
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: you do that kind of thing. And I so, I yeah,

949
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: And because because if you can get Chad on the field,

950
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: I mean, we saw it here. He played really well

951
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 1: in the preseason game here for the Colts. He can

952
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: physically and all that stuff he can do, but man,

953
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: oh man, the emotional stress it puts on him he

954
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 1: can't handle. Seems like sake one more call this hour.

955
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: John calling from Milwaukee. Hello John, Welcome to the show. Yeah, hello, gentlemen. Hello.

956
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: I would like to say that I think that this is,

957
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: first of all, football in itself is the modern like

958
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 1: gladiator game, you know, like we're not killing each other,

959
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,359
Speaker 1: but like it's a violent you know, really put your

960
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,439
Speaker 1: body on the line of sport, and it's a very

961
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 1: public sport, very you know, it's a public agreeness. So

962
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 1: you know, I support Andrew's luck, I mean, and doing

963
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: what he needs to do for himself, like if he

964
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: knows he needs to walk away, which could be at

965
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,879
Speaker 1: any point in time, like one moment you're one way,

966
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: the next moment, you know, you know, he knew he

967
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 1: needed to walk away, and I support that. He's smart enough,

968
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: probably he's got money in the bank, go do as

969
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 1: he pleases. But I also support the people that want

970
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: to boom or if they want to say negative things

971
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: to him, because that's there rock it is. I don't

972
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: agree with them, but being in a public avia, you know,

973
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: I think we need to like you know, open ourselves

974
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: up to whatever sort of you know, um alternative ideas

975
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 1: out right. Yeah, the booying is funny. Thanks, for your call, Uh, John,

976
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:17,839
Speaker 1: The buoying is weird, you know, and much was made

977
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 1: of it. I think too much was made of it. Um.

978
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: I don't think Luck deserves to be booed, but you

979
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 1: can boo if you want. I just think at the

980
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: time there was confusion, right, I mean the news came

981
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: out at halftime, Luck standing there on the sidelines, He's

982
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 1: walking up to the tunnel at the end of the game. Look,

983
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 1: those folks in Indianapolis, they are assault of the earth people.

984
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 1: I mean, those are some of the nicest people you'll

985
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: ever find. And I'm sure the ones who were buying

986
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 1: probably have reconsidered since then. But it was kind of

987
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: don't you think it was under an act of confusion,

988
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 1: like what what's going on? Why is he leaving when

989
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 1: he's screwing us? He's not. I don't think it was

990
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: related to people having fantasy football uh Andrew Luck on

991
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,399
Speaker 1: their roster. I think it's just a confusion, like what's

992
00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: going on here? Why is why is our franchise quarterback

993
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 1: for a team that had legitimate Super Bowl aspirations walking

994
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 1: away at this time? Right? I think it's confusion, I do,

995
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 1: That's what I thought. I wouldn't crucify any Indie fans,

996
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 1: even those who boot, you know, they think better of

997
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:16,480
Speaker 1: it today. You buy a ticket, it gives you certain rights.

998
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 1: You can cheer or boo. You can obviously in the

999
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 1: case of the Indianapolis fans who were booing this guy

1000
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 1: walking off the field after for the reasons he did.

1001
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 1: You can be as big a jackass as you want to,

1002
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,400
Speaker 1: and some people exercise that right, Yeah, both on Twitter

1003
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 1: and social media and in the media. Doug Gottlieb, you know,

1004
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 1: called him it's the most millennial thing ever to do

1005
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 1: because rehab was too hard. You hung it up. That's

1006
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: what those are, Doug Godlieb's words, a radio personality for

1007
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 1: Fox Sports. And you know, you can be as big

1008
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: a dirt bag as you want in response to what

1009
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: another guy does with his own life. That's the world

1010
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 1: in which we live. But don't think it makes you

1011
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 1: any different than the dirt bag that you are for

1012
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 1: saying it. So there you have it. I mean, yeah,

1013
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:01,959
Speaker 1: Andrew luck had had, he's done and it's his life

1014
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: to do it and he can do it. Um that.

1015
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: You can say what you want about the timing. He

1016
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: didn't schedule the injury he didn't schedule it, and we've

1017
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 1: seen teams cut players as well. It's the sport in

1018
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: which we live. Yeah, we're you know, I heard it

1019
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 1: said very well by one of our responds, Hey, the

1020
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:21,319
Speaker 1: game is better with him than is without him. But

1021
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna go on. It's the train keeps moving down

1022
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 1: the tracks. And I know as many as fast as

1023
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: those people who had drafted him on their fantasy teams

1024
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,399
Speaker 1: were like going no, you know, they were so mad

1025
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,719
Speaker 1: at him. You know, there are other people going great,

1026
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 1: who's gonna start for him? I need who Who's next? Guy?

1027
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 1: Who's next? Guy up? That's it, that's the way, that's

1051
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon. The Bills have to cut thirty seven names

1052
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 1: off the roster by then, despite the fact that they

1053
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 1: could have recouped twenty four point eight million dollars from

1054
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:08,720
Speaker 1: their former quarterback. The Colts have reached a financial sentiment

1055
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 1: with Andrew Luck he will not take back any of

1056
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: the money they are owed the Colts, essentially telling Luck

1057
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 1: to keep it all, even though it is within their

1058
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 1: rights to reclaim the money. Miami Dolphins released veteran safety

1060
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,439
Speaker 1: last two seasons. He was doing a five million dollars

1061
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 1: salary this year, already guaranteed three point six million dollars

1062
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 1: of that money. Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown will move

1063
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 1: on from his fight to wear his old helmet. According

1064
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 1: to his agent, he lost his second grievance with the

1065
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 1: NFL yesterday regarding the use of his old helmet, who

1066
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: was moving forward with the deal for an improved helmet

1067
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: in the near future. Titans running back Dean Lewis is

1068
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: going to be fine twenty eight thousand dollars for unnecessary

1069
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 1: roughness for action a week ago in a preseason game

1070
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 1: when he lowered his helmet. And the Patriots have told

1071
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,359
Speaker 1: vetter and defensive tackle Mike Pannell, one of their top

1072

Speaker 1: free agent signings, that he's going to be released today.

1073
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 1: He signed a two year ado in New England with

1074
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:00,359
Speaker 1: the base value of five million dollars back in March.

1075

1086

Speaker 1: Detroit and about cutdown Day, and a little bit to

1088
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 1: say about Andrew Luck as well. He is executive reducer

Speaker 1: Murf Steve. Hey, you guys doing doing great, doing good,

1093
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 1: doing good. I'm you know, I'm not retiring like Andrew

1094
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 1: luck is on a pile of money and a pretty

1095
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 1: good short career behind me. But I'm doing Okay, you

1096
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: are you thinking about Are you thinking about retiring Greg

1097
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 1: at all? I just celebrated forty years here, Steve, But

1098
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 1: I'm not thinking about retiring, right. Yeah? It must rehab

1099
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 1: must not be a problem for you. What do you

1100
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 1: think about this? I mean, we've never seen a guy

1101
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 1: after just seven years, although they were injury riddled, at

1102
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: the height of his game at that position. That's pretty unprecedented. Yeah,

1103
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,320
Speaker 1: there's no reason not to take him at face value

1104
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:30,879
Speaker 1: with what he said. But he's basically spoke as if

1105
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 1: for four consecutive years now, he's essentially been in pain

1106
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: every day of his life. And you know, you know

1107
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: better than I obviously that football is a pretty tough sport.

1108
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,439
Speaker 1: But you know, if he's been in pain every day

1109
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:45,800
Speaker 1: of his life, then it's a decision he made. I

1110
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 1: was just fascinated Saturday night. I was actually at the

1111
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 1: Jet Saints game up and MetLife and as soon as

1112
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 1: the newest hit, everybody feels the need to comment on

1113
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,799
Speaker 1: his life and make a judgment about his life. I

1114
00:54:57,840 --> 00:54:59,840
Speaker 1: guess I just don't understand that. I don't get it.

1115
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: I wonder though, you can probably comment with some authority

1116
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:06,879
Speaker 1: on his legacy, Greg Well, is this how Andrew luck

1117
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 1: will be remembered or what do you think of his

1118
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:13,320
Speaker 1: legacy as an NFL quarterback? Well, you know, he obviously

1119
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 1: missed a full season, so he didn't play seven full years.

1120
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,840
Speaker 1: I think he was a really really good player, a

1121
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 1: player who maybe had a chance to be a truly

1122
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:25,240
Speaker 1: great player. He was coming off arguably his best season

1123
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 1: a year ago. He led his team to the playoffs.

1124
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 1: I think in four was it four of the six

1125
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:35,879
Speaker 1: seasons that he played, and certainly the Colts this year

1126
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 1: were considered a serious contender since the rest of the

1127
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: roster had been upgraded. So I think in some ways

1128
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,759
Speaker 1: it's an incomplete career because of how short it was.

1129
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:48,839
Speaker 1: But he was a great, great player of much of

1130
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 1: his career. Well, let's just do what everybody's going to

1131
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:54,359
Speaker 1: be forced to do in a week anyway. How good

1132
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:59,400
Speaker 1: can Jacoby Brissette be for the Colts? Well, he played

1133
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: obviously years ago and they had a very poor O line.

1134
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 1: Brissette's a little deliberate. I don't think he was the

1135
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 1: kind of quarterback that helped a poor O line, and

1136
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 1: I think he needs to speed himself up a little bit.

1137
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 1: But he made some throws as well in twenty seventeen

1138
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 1: that were big time. I mean I remember one in particular.

1139
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 1: I wish I remembered who was against. It just popped

1140
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 1: into my head right when you asked me, Steve. But

1141
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 1: he made a throw to t Y Hilton where he

1142
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:25,840
Speaker 1: had to move to his right. I don't think it

1143
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 1: was by design. I think he had to move due

1144
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 1: to pressure, and he threw a ball sixty two yards

1145
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 1: in the air down the field off movement to t

1146
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 1: Y Hilton. And I'm telling you, if that throw had

1147
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:39,800
Speaker 1: been made by Aaron Rodgers or now Pat Mahomes, we'd

1148
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:42,400
Speaker 1: be talking about it for months. And because it was

1149
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette, it got forgotten about five minutes after it happened.

1150
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 1: But he's a pretty talented thrower, Like I said, probably

1151
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:52,839
Speaker 1: needs to be a little quicker with what he does,

1152
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:56,319
Speaker 1: probably needs to be a little more accurate overall, but

1153
00:56:56,360 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 1: he's not inaccurate. I mean, I think they're still a

1154
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 1: competitive football team with Jacobe Pursett. We're on the line

1155
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 1: where Greig Cosal, Executive producer analysts of NFL Matchup on

1156
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 1: the ESPN Senior producer in NFL Films. Let me get

1157
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:11,320
Speaker 1: you talking about the Bills if I'm a Greg and

1158
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 1: giving your thoughts on Buffalo's performance last Friday night in Detroit,

1159
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 1: in particular, how well they ran the ball ninety four

1160
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 1: yards combining between Frank Gore and Lashawn McCoy. They ran

1161
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:23,440
Speaker 1: it pretty well. I thought, well, they clearly came out

1162
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 1: to work on the run game. I'm assuming that that

1163
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:28,520
Speaker 1: was what they wanted to do in that game. They

1164
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 1: ran multiple run game concepts that are both one back

1165
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 1: and two back. They played McCoy, they played Gore. You know,

1166
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 1: I love gore twenty seven yarder because I love that concept.

1167
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 1: That was a wham concept. And the rookie tight end

1168
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox made a really good block on the penetrating

1169
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 1: three technique defensive tackle. The other thing that stood out

1170
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 1: to me on that block on that run, and I

1171
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,120
Speaker 1: think this is critical when you're trying to make the team,

1172
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 1: is Williams, the wide receiver, really did a nice job.

1173
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 1: They are blocking the filling safety dig so you know,

1174
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 1: that's the kind of thing we know what Williams has

1175
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 1: done as a receiver, and I think he's made a

1176
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 1: pretty good case for making the team as a receiver.

1177
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 1: But when you see a block like that on a

1178
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: run play and it's a necessary block because of the

1179
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:13,640
Speaker 1: filling safety to the play side, I think that really

1180
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 1: helps your cause. Well, the Bills obviously went into this game,

1181
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 1: and I don't know if you've noticed such things, but

1182
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 1: they went into a game obviously they want to find

1183
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: out about their running game against Detroit. I mean that question, Yeah,

1184
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 1: what does that tell you? Well, I think when all

1185
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 1: said and done, they would really like to run the ball.

1186
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 1: And again, you can say that theoretically about any team

1187
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 1: they want to run. But I think they have a

1188
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: lot of good backs, and they might have backs who

1189
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 1: are at the point in their career or maybe one

1190
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 1: back can't carry two hundred and eighty times like McCoy

1191
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 1: probably could have a couple of years ago. So you know,

1192
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 1: with Gore, with McCoy, I guess we'll find out. I

1193
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 1: guess his singletary he's not getting cut. He was what

1194
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 1: a third round pick? If I'm not mistaken, you're right, yes,

1195
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 1: So you know I doubt he gets cut. So they

1196
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:00,200
Speaker 1: do have a number of backs. I think they've like

1197
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 1: the run game to be a driving force of their offense.

1198
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 1: You know, one thing that really stood out to me,

1199
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 1: and I assume that the offensive line other than the center,

1200
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:12,760
Speaker 1: assuming Morse gets back healthy, was pretty much what it'll

1201
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,439
Speaker 1: be week one. But I thought the right tackle Ford

1202
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 1: and the right guard Long, and they were featured as

1203
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 1: double team blockers on quite a few plays, and I

1204
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:23,040
Speaker 1: thought they really did an excellent job. I really since

1205
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 1: they wanted to work on that throughout the game, and

1206
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 1: I think they could have a nice run game. Look,

1207
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 1: Ford is a big guy who's a good run blocker.

1208
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 1: Long Spencer Long has always been kind of a grinder.

1209
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 1: He's an Nebraska kid. You know, those guys are a

1210
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 1: little more mallers than ballet dancers. So I think they have,

1211
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 1: you know, people who can run block on the old line,

1212
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:45,840
Speaker 1: and I think they want that to be a meaningful

1213
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 1: part of their offensive approach. Hey, Greg, you mentioned Duke

1214
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 1: Williams and his block on the big Frank Gore run.

1215
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 1: It caught another touchdown pass a second straight week from

1216
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley. What are his prospects you think, and how

1217
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 1: interested should the bills be in Duke Williams, especially given

1218
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 1: the fact that he represents maybe the only size bulk guy. Yeah,

1219
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 1: but having that wide receiver corps well, and that's the

1220
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 1: That's a great point, Murph, because the touchdown he caught

1221
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:11,920
Speaker 1: this week was another example of that. You know, he

1222
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 1: was in the slot and he ran kind of a

1223
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 1: wheel route from the slot and it was a contested

1224
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 1: catch and he made it very easily over a smaller corner.

1225
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 1: It almost looked like a man playing against a kid,

1226
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 1: you know, when he caught the touchdown the week before,

1227
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 1: which was in the in the red zone as well,

1228
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 1: I believe and you know that that kind of receiver

1229
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:33,520
Speaker 1: is important in today's NFL because the reality in the

1230
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:37,320
Speaker 1: red zone is matchups become even more important. I mean,

1231
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 1: it's a matchup league overall, but in the red zone

1232
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 1: because space is tight, it's hard to win in your

1233
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: pass game with concepts unless you try to be you know,

1234
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 1: sort of gimmicky or tricky. But there's just as Steve knows,

1235
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 1: there's much less space for a lot of route concepts

1236
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 1: to work. So it comes down to matchups, and he

1237
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 1: presents a matchup issue. He's a big guy, so it

1238
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,640
Speaker 1: sounds like around the league you're seeing teams and this

1239
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:05,440
Speaker 1: has been a real issue for us to kind of

1240
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 1: figure out and trying to divine what the coaching staff

1241
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:10,680
Speaker 1: is looking at. You think a lot of teams around

1242
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 1: the league want a diverse set of skills on the

1243
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 1: receiving corps rather than maybe five guys that are all

1244
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 1: kind of similar or have similar skill sets. Without question,

1245
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's really important because what's the

1246
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 1: league becomes, Steve. It's a package league. Now, it's a

1247
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 1: package league on offense, it's a package league on defense.

1248
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 1: So you have certain packages that you use depending on

1249
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 1: down in distance, field location, personnel, and Williams fits a

1250
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 1: certain role. Now I'm gonna I don't have insight information.

1251
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and tell you he's made

1252
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 1: the team. I don't know that, just like you guys

1253
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 1: don't know that. But there's no other receiver like him

1254
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 1: on the roster right now, and I think that kind

1255
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:51,840
Speaker 1: of receiver has value in today's NFL. Greg co Sell

1256
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,640
Speaker 1: is with us from NFL Films three Games in any

1257
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 1: thoughts on the Buffalo defense, Greg, and in particular how

1258
01:01:57,400 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 1: they kind of look compared to some of the other

1259
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 1: defenses you I've seen so far this preseason, Well, I

1260
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 1: like their defense, and I really like Sean McDermot and

1261
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 1: Leslie Fraser. It's funny this off season I got to

1262
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 1: speak to a number of offensive coaches and they all

1263
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:13,920
Speaker 1: made the same point. They said that Sean is really

1264
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 1: really good within his base stuff of just having a

1265
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 1: couple of tweaks and a couple of things that give

1266
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 1: you problems every week. And I think that's the way

1267
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 1: it is because this is not a defense that's high

1268
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:28,920
Speaker 1: percentage bleds. You're not seeing a lot of gimmicks from

1269
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:32,520
Speaker 1: this defense. It's a very fundamentally sound defense. But they

1270
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 1: do just enough depending on the opponent. And obviously the

1271
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 1: preseason you don't see a lot of that because there's

1272
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 1: not heavy game planning going on. You know. The one issue,

1273
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 1: and maybe it's not an issue, you know, guys, you know,

1274
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 1: all I'm doing is watching tape, so I have no

1275
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:50,560
Speaker 1: idea what practice is like. You know, but Ed Oliver

1276
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 1: struggled in the preseason and there's just been too many

1277
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 1: snaps where he's been physically overmatched and couldn't play off

1278
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:01,960
Speaker 1: contact and get off block. And you know, whether he's

1279
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 1: just learning. He's a rookie, but at the end of

1280
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 1: the day, as explosive as he can be and as

1281
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 1: a dynamic athlete as he can be. He's probably two

1282
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty pounds and that may be high. I

1283
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 1: don't know. So, you know, he's just I'm going to

1284
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 1: be very anxious when the regular season starts, when they

1285
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:21,560
Speaker 1: try to game plan more. Maybe they'll start doing more slanting.

1286
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:25,439
Speaker 1: I think they'll try to do things to get him untracked. Yeah,

1287
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:27,080
Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit of a bit more about

1288
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 1: some defenders. And I know that at Oliver, Yeah, what

1289
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 1: you say is probably true, plus the fact that nobody's

1290
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 1: game planning and asking him to do maybe what he

1291
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:38,520
Speaker 1: does best. What about Tremaine, Hey, Steve, what do you mean?

1292
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 1: Probably true? Right? Absolutely true? Yeah, talk a little bit

1293
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 1: about the progress that that Tremaine Edmonds has made. Every

1294
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:51,440
Speaker 1: his teammates and coaches said that he's taken a step forward.

1295
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:53,440
Speaker 1: Can you see that just by watching film or do

1296
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 1: you kind of have to listen to him and look

1297
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:58,480
Speaker 1: at him. I think his play reacts and play recognition

1298
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 1: is better, and that's allowed him to really utilize his

1299
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 1: outstanding lateral quickness and burst because now what he's doing

1300
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:08,640
Speaker 1: at times is he's playing past blocks in the box

1301
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 1: instead of getting caught up by the block. And so

1302
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 1: now he can play past the block, staying with his

1303
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 1: gap integrity and make tackles in the run game. So

1304
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:21,920
Speaker 1: I think his recognition is better. We know about his

1305
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 1: athletic ability, so you know, I think that there's clear improvement,

1306
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:27,760
Speaker 1: you know. And I think Edmund's just because of his

1307
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 1: size and his movement ability, really has a chance to

1308
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 1: be a good player. I mean, you know, I'm one

1309
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:35,520
Speaker 1: of those guys it's always a little loath to say, oh,

1310
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 1: he's going to be great this year, but he's got

1311
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:41,520
Speaker 1: that kind of talent. Greg go sal Senior producer NFL Films.

1312
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 1: One more Bills defender to ask you about Greg before

1313
01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:46,160
Speaker 1: we move on to the rest of the NFL. And

1314
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 1: that's the guy who's been around here now for a

1315
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 1: couple of years and former first round pick check Lawson,

1316
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:53,600
Speaker 1: who I think is quietly had a really good preseason

1317
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 1: for the Bills, both in practice and in three preseason games.

1318
01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 1: He will be, I think an important part of their

1319
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 1: defensive line rotation and it will have a lot to

1320
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 1: offer for this defense. Your thoughts on that shack? Yeah,

1321
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 1: I think he's been good against the run. I think

1322
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 1: the key for him is can he develop some kind

1323
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:12,560
Speaker 1: of consistency as a pass rusher. He was not really

1324
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:15,680
Speaker 1: a pass rusher coming out of Clemson. He's not explosive

1325
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:18,280
Speaker 1: or dynamic in his movement. He's going to have to

1326
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:22,480
Speaker 1: try to develop further with his hand usage and his

1327
01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 1: ability to playoff contact because he's not gonna win just

1328
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 1: by exploding off the edge. But I think there's a

1329
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 1: there's a solid solidity to his game. The question is

1330
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 1: can he develop into that pass rusher opposite Jerry Use,

1331
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:41,360
Speaker 1: because right now they don't have one because Troy Murphy's

1332
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 1: not that guy. Will see what happens with Daryl Johnson,

1333
01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:46,960
Speaker 1: the rookie, but right now they don't have another edge

1334
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 1: rusher opposite Jerry Use that you can count on on

1335
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:53,320
Speaker 1: a week to week basis. Is there anybody anybody else

1336
01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:55,960
Speaker 1: defensively for the Bills, maybe in the secondary that has

1337
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 1: jumped off the page or had a pretty good preseason

1338
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:03,440
Speaker 1: In your mind, maybe somebody. It's not a starter. I

1339
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:05,920
Speaker 1: was going to mention Tredavious White. We know he's a

1340
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 1: really good player. But I tell you what I really

1341
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 1: liked about him, and it showed up this week because

1342
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:12,360
Speaker 1: he's not a huge guy, as you know, but I

1343
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:15,560
Speaker 1: thought he was really physical and run support when he

1344
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 1: was the boundary corner and the formation was closed and

1345
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 1: he had to be a run fill player. And you know,

1346
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:24,320
Speaker 1: I love to see that in corners because I evaluate

1347
01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:27,040
Speaker 1: college corners when the NFL season ends, and so many

1348
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:30,480
Speaker 1: of them I have zero interest in tackling at all.

1349
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 1: And I just really noticed that this week on tape

1350
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:36,360
Speaker 1: when the Lions lined up with you know, multiple tight

1351
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 1: ends and it was a closed formation and White was

1352
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:42,760
Speaker 1: to that that boundary side, he was very physical and

1353
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 1: run support. He greg around the NFL a little bit.

1354
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:48,840
Speaker 1: The Houston Texans, who probably after winning the division last year,

1355
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 1: liked to consider themselves legitimate playoff contenders, but they've lost

1356
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:55,360
Speaker 1: running back Lamar Millard. Did the former Cleveland Brown Duke

1357
01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:58,040
Speaker 1: Johnson have enough or should they be kind of in

1358
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 1: the trademarket looking for an upgrade from him? I thought

1359
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 1: I heard last night that they signed Jagie, So I

1360
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 1: don't know if that's official or not. I thought I

1361
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 1: heard that. If indeed they did, and Agi is healthy.

1362
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:13,120
Speaker 1: I think he becomes a little more of the replacement

1363
01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:15,880
Speaker 1: for Miller, with Johnson being used in more of the

1364
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:19,400
Speaker 1: multidimensional role because Johnson's a really good receiver. But I

1365
01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:22,120
Speaker 1: think Johnson's a good runner as well. I just don't

1366
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 1: know how much he can carry the ball on a

1367
01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:27,000
Speaker 1: week to week basis. Certainly their expectations have changed with

1368
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:31,440
Speaker 1: what happened in Indianapolis with Andrew Luck. That whole division

1369
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:34,120
Speaker 1: has to be sitting up a little bit yeah taller

1370
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:38,520
Speaker 1: this morning. Correct, Yeah, I mean, obviously, look, everybody seemed

1371
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 1: to think the Colts were the odds on favorite. Now

1372
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:43,240
Speaker 1: it's probably a little more wide open. I mean, I'm

1373
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:47,000
Speaker 1: fascinating to see what happens in Tennessee because Mariota, Marcus

1374
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:51,320
Speaker 1: Mariota has not played well in the preseason. Mike vrabel I,

1375
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:53,640
Speaker 1: don't you know, he's not tied to Mariota. He got

1376
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:56,600
Speaker 1: there after Mariota was drafted. They brought in another high

1377
01:07:56,680 --> 01:08:00,800
Speaker 1: first round quarterback in Ryan Tannehill. I'm anxious to see

1378
01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:02,760
Speaker 1: how that plays out. This is kind of a make

1379
01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 1: or break year from Marcus Mariota. What do you make

1380
01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 1: of the quarterback situation in the new York with a

1381
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:12,320
Speaker 1: giant says Daniel Jones. How mean he's played well, but

1382
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:14,880
Speaker 1: as this time here it's the preseason. I mean, how

1383
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:17,320
Speaker 1: much can you read into that and do the dynamics

1384
01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:22,400
Speaker 1: surrounding Eli Manning and how people like or dislike him

1385
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:24,040
Speaker 1: gonna play into the fact of who that you know,

1386
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:26,599
Speaker 1: whether the guy gets to play or not. Yeah, well,

1387
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:28,920
Speaker 1: the thing is Eli has not played poorly. It's not like,

1388
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:31,639
Speaker 1: you know, you look at the quarterback situation and say, God,

1389
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:35,240
Speaker 1: they got to play Jones or else. Jones has clearly

1390
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 1: played extremely well. Yes, it's preseason, but he's he's done

1391
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:42,920
Speaker 1: a really good jobs. He's executed what he's been asked

1392
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:46,120
Speaker 1: to execute at a pretty good level. So, yes, he's

1393
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:50,240
Speaker 1: played extremely well. I don't know, they seem to be

1394
01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:52,839
Speaker 1: tied to Eli. Certainly at the beginning of the season.

1395
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:55,840
Speaker 1: I'd be very surprised, and maybe I'll be wrong if

1396
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:58,000
Speaker 1: if Daniel Jones would be the start of Week one

1397
01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:00,920
Speaker 1: in at Dallas, I would be are we surprised at that?

1398
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:03,280
Speaker 1: And one more New York cut and you said, you're

1399
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:06,120
Speaker 1: at the Saints Jets game Saturday night, right, Greig, you're there?

1400
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:08,920
Speaker 1: I was there? Can you give us a two week

1401
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:11,760
Speaker 1: out scouting report on the Bill's opponents on opening day,

1402
01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 1: the New York Jets. What do you think? I think

1403
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:20,400
Speaker 1: the Jets are an improved team. Um. I like Darnold.

1404
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:23,519
Speaker 1: I think he'll be a good player. They've got some

1405
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:26,040
Speaker 1: some weaknesses that they know about that could you know,

1406
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 1: any given week could be a problem. They're they're soft

1407
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 1: at corner and you've got to attack that. I think

1408
01:09:32,560 --> 01:09:35,639
Speaker 1: they're they're trying to figure out their wide receiver position

1409
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:37,439
Speaker 1: a little bit. I mean, they have certain players that

1410
01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:41,760
Speaker 1: they like, but I think they really lacked depth. You know,

1411
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:44,720
Speaker 1: they have some potential issues now at stacked linebackers since

1412
01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:47,320
Speaker 1: they lost Avery Williamson for the season. They have C. J.

1413
01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:49,599
Speaker 1: Mosley is a very good player, but you know that's

1414
01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:52,840
Speaker 1: an area of concern. So they've got some clear strains,

1415
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 1: but they've also got some some issues as they head

1416
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:59,719
Speaker 1: to Week one to play you guys. You know, that's actually,

1417
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:02,599
Speaker 1: to me a very competitive game. We just don't know,

1418
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:04,479
Speaker 1: you know, that's the game for instance, that's hard for

1419
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:07,080
Speaker 1: us to do in the matchup show, simply because the

1420
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:09,160
Speaker 1: Jets have a new coaching staff, so we don't know

1421
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:11,920
Speaker 1: exactly what we're going to see what are the Jets

1422
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 1: real strengths. Well, I think you're counting on quarterback to

1423
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:18,240
Speaker 1: be a strength. I think you're counting on the running

1424
01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:20,479
Speaker 1: game to be a strength. Avon Bell obviously has not

1425
01:10:20,479 --> 01:10:22,680
Speaker 1: played in the preseason, but he's got a pretty good

1426
01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:25,240
Speaker 1: track record in this league. And they're actually pretty deep

1427
01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:27,719
Speaker 1: at running back as well. I think their old line

1428
01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:30,439
Speaker 1: has become a position of strength with a lot of depth,

1429
01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:33,599
Speaker 1: a lot of good depth. I think their D line

1430
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:36,479
Speaker 1: is good. I would have said their front seven was

1431
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:39,280
Speaker 1: really really good until Avery Williamson got hurt, but it's

1432
01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:42,400
Speaker 1: still solid. I think safety is a strength for this team.

1433
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:46,520
Speaker 1: But as I said, they do have some defined weaknesses

1434
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 1: that can be problematic. I mean, I think when the

1435
01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:50,840
Speaker 1: Bills play in Week one, they have to attack the

1436
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 1: corners go along with it. You mentioned the NFL matchup

1437
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:56,120
Speaker 1: the ESPN Show. What are your two weeks out from

1438
01:10:56,120 --> 01:10:58,639
Speaker 1: your premiere for a twenty nineteen great, Yeah, we start

1439
01:10:58,680 --> 01:11:03,240
Speaker 1: Our first airing is the Saturday morning of the first

1440
01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:07,320
Speaker 1: NFL regular season weekend, eight thirty am on ESPN two.

1441
01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:10,639
Speaker 1: That's our first airing. So yeah, we've been grinding away

1442
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:13,720
Speaker 1: working on that. The first show is always a little tough.

1443
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:15,960
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of good matchups, but there's

1444
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:18,960
Speaker 1: new coaches, they're new new players and as you know them.

1445
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:21,120
Speaker 1: If we're not just a highlight show. You know, we're

1446
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:24,479
Speaker 1: trying to break down x's and o's tactics and sometimes

1447
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:27,040
Speaker 1: you just don't know with new coaches and new players. Yeah,

1448
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:29,280
Speaker 1: it'll be fun. We look forward to that. Thanks. Great,

1449
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:32,160
Speaker 1: we'll talk to you all right. Appreciate it, guys. Thanks.

1450
01:11:32,240 --> 01:11:36,439
Speaker 1: Greg Cosal, executive producer and analyst of NFL Matchup on ESPN.

1451
01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:38,519
Speaker 1: As he said the first show a couple of weeks away,

1452
01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:41,160
Speaker 1: the first weekend of the regular season, senior producer in

1453
01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:43,840
Speaker 1: NFL Films, joining us on the line. Starting to think

1454
01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:46,519
Speaker 1: about the Jet Steve, I don't mind that the Jets

1455
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 1: have strengths. They should, they should they were gonna be

1456
01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:51,000
Speaker 1: much better than they were a year ago, as and

1457
01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:54,800
Speaker 1: they probably have many positive thoughts about their offseasons. The

1458
01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:58,720
Speaker 1: Bills do about theirs. It's gonna be an interesting year.

1459
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:01,960
Speaker 1: But this game, and I don't know, I kind of

1460
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 1: think back. Maybe it's the same every year, but I

1461
01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:08,880
Speaker 1: don't know, this opening game in particular this year really

1462
01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:11,280
Speaker 1: holds a lot, yes, you know, for the relay, holds

1463
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:13,640
Speaker 1: a lot because we these two teams have been on

1464
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:20,120
Speaker 1: a parallel trajectory for two years and here they are

1465
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:24,280
Speaker 1: when an a culmination of at least for the Buffalo

1466
01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:26,519
Speaker 1: Bills in a year where they should take a step forward.

1467
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:28,720
Speaker 1: They're really expecting a step forward and so are we.

1468
01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:33,240
Speaker 1: And here it starts against a team with a really

1469
01:12:33,720 --> 01:12:37,200
Speaker 1: a great defensive line prospect on their Quentnin Williams has

1470
01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:40,080
Speaker 1: played extremely well in the preseason, Sam Darnold and Levion

1471
01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 1: Bell on their offense. It men, this is it's a

1472
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:44,760
Speaker 1: big game, not just for the Bills. I ran into

1473
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:46,760
Speaker 1: a guy who worked here for a couple of years

1474
01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:49,600
Speaker 1: as a scout now advanced scout for the Jets. He

1475
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:52,400
Speaker 1: was there Friday night in Detroit scouting the Bills, and

1476
01:12:52,439 --> 01:12:54,679
Speaker 1: we've kind of looked at each other and said that opener,

1477
01:12:54,720 --> 01:12:56,599
Speaker 1: and he goes, yeah, it's gonna be unbelievable. It's gonna

1478
01:12:56,600 --> 01:12:58,800
Speaker 1: be great for both teams. The Jets approach it like

1479
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:00,960
Speaker 1: that too, which is gonna be fun. Yea, we wish

1480
01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:03,760
Speaker 1: you were home. Yeah, it will be late in the

1481
01:13:03,800 --> 01:13:06,280
Speaker 1: last last game we get a year. Yeah, all right. Hey,

1482
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:07,720
Speaker 1: we got a good Twitter poll. We want to get

1484

1485
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:13,840
Speaker 1: the NFL? What do you think? We've got a Twitter

1501
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:07,720
Speaker 1: Let us know what you think. Drew and Columbus has

1502
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:09,760
Speaker 1: been waiting these got thoughts on the Bills fifty three

1503
01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:13,920
Speaker 1: man roster, Drew, go ahead, you're on the air, Hey, John, Steve,

1504
01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:19,040
Speaker 1: how y'all doing? Man? I always appreciate Joe's call. Thank um.

1505
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:22,559
Speaker 1: I had two points the first one. Yeah, I look

1506
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:25,840
Speaker 1: at a bitter sweet you know, the league lost one

1507
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:30,160
Speaker 1: top tier quarterbacks, you know, would love to turn all that.

1508
01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:32,519
Speaker 1: And I understand. I understand what he's going through. I

1509
01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:35,800
Speaker 1: played football and I know how it is, you know,

1510
01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:39,160
Speaker 1: you hurting yourself every day, and he just so he

1511
01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:41,479
Speaker 1: couldn't do it no more. So I felt like, what

1512
01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:45,040
Speaker 1: would you rather even go out there fifty sixty percent

1513
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:49,800
Speaker 1: and you know, possibly hurting himself again. It just sounds

1514
01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:54,040
Speaker 1: like the fans is being real selfish, being fish in

1515
01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:56,439
Speaker 1: the sist because I'm a Buffalo Bills fan and I

1516
01:14:56,439 --> 01:14:58,960
Speaker 1: don't give it there because my language. I don't give

1517
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:00,720
Speaker 1: a damn. I know he didn I know what he

1518
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:02,800
Speaker 1: did to us, So I'm glad he's not there. No

1519
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:05,439
Speaker 1: more door open a little bit open for us a

1520
01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:08,200
Speaker 1: little bit this year, right. Yeah, Well, from a Bill's perspective,

1521
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:11,880
Speaker 1: Drew and Steve, you know, if you're looking at wildcard

1522
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:15,519
Speaker 1: avenues to the postseason, if if Andrew Luck has gone

1523
01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:18,800
Speaker 1: from the Colts, the door m's up a little bit

1524
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:21,480
Speaker 1: wider for the Bills, right and everybody else. But yeah,

1525
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:25,360
Speaker 1: what was your second point, Drew? But my second point

1526
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:31,000
Speaker 1: was going back towards the preseason. Now I feel like, um,

1527
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:33,280
Speaker 1: I feel like that they should we should keep the

1528
01:15:33,320 --> 01:15:35,840
Speaker 1: preseason the way it is. If you look around the league,

1529
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:39,040
Speaker 1: a lot of teams haven't sink together yet. It's taking

1530
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:42,200
Speaker 1: them time to to You know, you still got figure

1531
01:15:42,240 --> 01:15:45,840
Speaker 1: out if this person is good enough, you got built.

1532
01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:48,960
Speaker 1: I feel the preseason is all about this death and

1533
01:15:49,040 --> 01:15:51,360
Speaker 1: you know you can't have you can't. You can't win

1534
01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:54,160
Speaker 1: a game without having a good team. A football is

1535
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:59,560
Speaker 1: the most team, sported team and the you know, organization

1536
01:15:59,840 --> 01:16:02,760
Speaker 1: and the world. So you have to use that your

1537
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:05,680
Speaker 1: depth preseason to find out who who's gonna be the

1538
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:08,439
Speaker 1: best players. And I looked around. I get excited when

1539
01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:11,160
Speaker 1: we play, when the second half comes on, we can

1540
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:15,320
Speaker 1: second third team or rout. Yeah, I feel like I

1541
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:17,200
Speaker 1: want to see what type of team but we're gonna

1542
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:19,320
Speaker 1: have if one of the big guys going out any

1543
01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:21,840
Speaker 1: given play, Yeah, a person can get hurt, so you

1544
01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:25,800
Speaker 1: let lazy on Bill stay out all preseason, doesn't play.

1545
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:28,360
Speaker 1: He comes in Week one against US, we bows in

1546
01:16:28,439 --> 01:16:30,200
Speaker 1: there or something. It doesn't make a difference that he

1547
01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:32,200
Speaker 1: got hurt in the preseason a week one, he's still

1548
01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:34,040
Speaker 1: out for the season. You got a good point they're doing.

1549
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:36,200
Speaker 1: And I actually made the point a similar point on

1550
01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:39,200
Speaker 1: this show last weekend in the Friday game broadcast where

1551
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:41,479
Speaker 1: the records steven. You've heard me say this late last week.

1552
01:16:41,920 --> 01:16:43,880
Speaker 1: One thing that's happened this preseason for the Bills, and

1553
01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:46,120
Speaker 1: it hasn't been one hundred percent successful. They aren't three,

1554
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:50,480
Speaker 1: you know, but they have developed and identified solid defensive

1555
01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:53,920
Speaker 1: depth in this preseason. I think, I really do at

1556
01:16:53,960 --> 01:16:56,120
Speaker 1: all three levels. They got players now at all three

1557
01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:58,840
Speaker 1: levels on defense backups who are really good. And as

1558
01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:01,160
Speaker 1: Brownie pointed out couple of hours ago, they're gonna be

1559
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:03,880
Speaker 1: cutting some really good players. Yeah, and unfortunately they can't

1560
01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:06,000
Speaker 1: keep all of them. And that's that's the real problem.

1561
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:10,280
Speaker 1: And it's I think more so problem. There certainly maybe

1562
01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:13,639
Speaker 1: have been one or two positional instances in the past

1563
01:17:13,640 --> 01:17:16,120
Speaker 1: where you've had to cut some good guys, but certainly

1564
01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:18,479
Speaker 1: this year it seems they've got an abundance of depth

1565
01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:21,040
Speaker 1: guys they really wish they could play. They could keep

1566
01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:23,080
Speaker 1: who have played well and looked like they've got pretty

1567
01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:25,040
Speaker 1: good NFL careers ahead of them if they can find

1568
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:28,160
Speaker 1: a spot. But that spot, unfortunately, might not be in Buffalo.

1569
01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:29,720
Speaker 1: You're right, I think it's the first time in a

1570
01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:31,840
Speaker 1: while we can say that about such a wide range

1571
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:36,040
Speaker 1: of position groups. Yep, let's squeeze in one more call

1572
01:17:36,160 --> 01:17:38,120
Speaker 1: if we can. Here, let's go to people have been

1573
01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:40,920
Speaker 1: waiting for a while. Here is a Mike in New Jersey. Helo, Mike,

1574
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:45,840
Speaker 1: go ahead, Hi, guys, how are you today? Good? Hey?

1575
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:48,160
Speaker 1: I just wanted to chime, you know, and real Luck's retirement.

1576
01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:51,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, every player or you know has

1577
01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:54,240
Speaker 1: a right to retire anytime they want to. But I

1578
01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:58,360
Speaker 1: just feel like he put you know, Polls in a

1579
01:17:58,439 --> 01:18:01,479
Speaker 1: really bad situation. I think what he did he by

1580
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:03,720
Speaker 1: him waiting until the off season. I think all he

1581
01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:07,439
Speaker 1: did was he collected he wanted to collect his twenty

1582
01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:11,720
Speaker 1: five million dollars, and in the process, you know, he

1583
01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:14,240
Speaker 1: puts you know, they don't have a quotaback, you know,

1584
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:17,559
Speaker 1: on their roster now. So when I'm not a close friend,

1585
01:18:17,600 --> 01:18:19,680
Speaker 1: I feel bad for Frank right, because he's got He's

1586
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:22,360
Speaker 1: or Buffalo guys. Yeah, So I really think that what

1587
01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:24,479
Speaker 1: he did, the timing of it, I think I think

1588
01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:28,000
Speaker 1: he was being really selfish. Uh. The second point elect

1589
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:30,640
Speaker 1: to make is by all the you know, all the

1590
01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:33,519
Speaker 1: draft capital and the assets that we have invested in, Um,

1591
01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:37,320
Speaker 1: you know, defensive line, if you're not able to stop

1592
01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:39,920
Speaker 1: the run and you know, be a better defense than

1593
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:43,240
Speaker 1: last year, who's gonna be you know, who's the who's

1594
01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:45,519
Speaker 1: to blame for that? What makes you think they won't

1595
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:47,559
Speaker 1: be better defense defense than last year? I think they

1596
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:49,160
Speaker 1: might be. I think they were gonna be at least

1597
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:51,160
Speaker 1: as good, Mike. They were number two in the league

1598
01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:53,040
Speaker 1: last year, so it's pretty difficult to say, hey, they

1599
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:55,720
Speaker 1: got to be number one or they're worse. Um. I mean,

1600
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:57,680
Speaker 1: I get it, Mike, but they've got some depth. And

1601
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:00,479
Speaker 1: if it comes down to it now, if they're not

1602
01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:02,120
Speaker 1: as good as they were last year, I would say

1603
01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:05,240
Speaker 1: it's due to some factors that are beyond the control

1604
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:07,360
Speaker 1: of the people who are picking the talent give him,

1605
01:19:07,439 --> 01:19:09,920
Speaker 1: like giving up fifteen sixteen points per game in three

1606
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:13,080
Speaker 1: meaningless three seasons. I get that. His first point is

1607
01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:16,680
Speaker 1: luck selfish. I mean, the timing's not great, but as

1608
01:19:16,680 --> 01:19:19,320
Speaker 1: you said, you don't determine when you're gonna get injured

1609
01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:21,560
Speaker 1: or when you're going to make decisions about injuries. The

1610
01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:23,200
Speaker 1: timing is not great, and I do feel bad for

1611
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:28,120
Speaker 1: Frank Craig and Nick Siriani is offensive cording. Sure, it's yeah,

1612
01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:31,200
Speaker 1: the timing is not great for the team. But like

1613
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:33,519
Speaker 1: I said, I don't think Andrew Luck had this was

1614
01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:35,360
Speaker 1: not planned. I think he's only been thinking about it

1615
01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:37,719
Speaker 1: over the last two weeks, and I think there's probably

1616
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:40,920
Speaker 1: been some he just doesn't see it. From what I've

1617
01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:42,559
Speaker 1: heard coming out of there, it doesn't seem like he's

1618
01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:45,040
Speaker 1: making progress. He's not getting any better. In fact, he

1619
01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:47,040
Speaker 1: came out and he tried to practice. They took it

1620
01:19:47,120 --> 01:19:50,240
Speaker 1: a step further. He said it felt worse, So he is.

1621
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:52,280
Speaker 1: You talk about breaking your heart. That's got to be

1622
01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:55,000
Speaker 1: a heartbreaker for a guy like Luck who's been doing

1623
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:56,840
Speaker 1: everything right and all of a sudden he's not getting

1624
01:19:56,880 --> 01:19:59,880
Speaker 1: better now, even after he's not playing, he's getting worse.

1625
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:05,880
Speaker 1: That's soul crushing. And to have him say, you know what,

1626
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:10,479
Speaker 1: I'm I'm just sick of this. Um, I get it now.

1627
01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:12,479
Speaker 1: If it was me, I would have said, I would have.

1628
01:20:12,840 --> 01:20:15,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure they probably tried this. I'm sure Frank Reich

1629
01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:19,439
Speaker 1: or or Ballard the general manager, and any of those

1630
01:20:19,439 --> 01:20:22,040
Speaker 1: guys from Nick Sirian, he probably said, listen, how about this,

1631
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:26,120
Speaker 1: and just take some time. Just get out of the building,

1632
01:20:26,240 --> 01:20:29,360
Speaker 1: go get healthy, and come back when you're ready, even

1633
01:20:29,520 --> 01:20:33,160
Speaker 1: even if it I mean, the guy's twenty twenty nine, right, yep.

1634
01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:36,960
Speaker 1: Just take a year off. You've done it before. Get fresh,

1635
01:20:37,080 --> 01:20:39,599
Speaker 1: get healthy, because I'll tell you what, in twelve eighteen months,

1636
01:20:39,680 --> 01:20:41,680
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck's gonna feel really good and he's gonna be

1637
01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:43,639
Speaker 1: wishing he was playing. We're gonna take a breakcare We're

1638

Speaker 1: coming back, and we've got Brian Baldinger from the NFL

01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:11,000
Speaker 1: interesting thoughts about Luck in his career and what he

1666
01:22:11,040 --> 01:22:12,800
Speaker 1: was kind of going through. Can you reiterate what you

1667
01:22:12,840 --> 01:22:16,000
Speaker 1: said last night, Brian, please? Yeah, John Steve Goel, you know,

1668
01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:18,479
Speaker 1: I'm always shocked I played with the Colts. I was

1669
01:22:18,520 --> 01:22:21,680
Speaker 1: shocked at that he made that announcement when he did.

1670
01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:25,080
Speaker 1: I was with him this year at the prow Bawl.

1671
01:22:25,120 --> 01:22:28,599
Speaker 1: We film session with him, and you know, the one

1672
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:30,600
Speaker 1: thing that came out of that film session outside of

1673
01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:34,120
Speaker 1: just his great insight for the game, was his love

1674
01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:36,960
Speaker 1: of the game and how it was renewed, just a

1675
01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:41,400
Speaker 1: renewed love after two mostly you know, injured injury marred

1676
01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:43,840
Speaker 1: seasons that he went through, and how fun it was

1677
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:46,720
Speaker 1: just to get back and playing, and how much fun

1678
01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:48,519
Speaker 1: he had last year. You know, he had one of

1679
01:22:48,520 --> 01:22:51,040
Speaker 1: his great years through thirty nine touchdown passes, you know,

1680
01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:53,000
Speaker 1: what a playoff game and he was really really good.

1681
01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:56,360
Speaker 1: But you know, these injuries have taken his toll on him.

1682
01:22:56,640 --> 01:22:59,920
Speaker 1: He's had a lacerated you know, spleen and coming back

1683
01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:02,799
Speaker 1: from a major shoulder of surgeries and I guess whatever's

1684
01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:04,639
Speaker 1: going on with this leg right now, it's just got

1685
01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:07,479
Speaker 1: a point where it's taking the fun back out of

1686
01:23:07,520 --> 01:23:10,240
Speaker 1: the game. Injuries could do that to players and I

1687
01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:13,519
Speaker 1: think that's what's happened to Andrew and got a Stanford

1688
01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:15,760
Speaker 1: education and a young wife, and you know, he just

1689
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:19,440
Speaker 1: felt like I guess it was time, but it didn't

1690
01:23:19,439 --> 01:23:21,559
Speaker 1: take away from you know what I got from him

1691
01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:23,640
Speaker 1: after what he did last year, which was, you know,

1692
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:25,760
Speaker 1: it was fun playing football again for the first time

1693
01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:28,000
Speaker 1: in a while. How likely do you think it is that,

1694
01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:31,840
Speaker 1: you know, twelve or fourteen months from now or ten

1695
01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:34,160
Speaker 1: months from now, he's sitting at home and the training

1696
01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:36,280
Speaker 1: camps about to start, and he feels better than he

1697
01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:39,599
Speaker 1: has in ten years, and he's thinking, well, you know what,

1698
01:23:39,640 --> 01:23:43,519
Speaker 1: I'm still just thirty years old, you know what I mean.

1699
01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:45,960
Speaker 1: Do you think you know it's gonna happen, because it

1700
01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:47,880
Speaker 1: happens for every guy. You get out of there, you walk,

1701
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:49,920
Speaker 1: you limp out of the door, and about eight months

1702
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:53,280
Speaker 1: later you feel great because you haven't been training. Do

1703
01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:56,519
Speaker 1: you think that's likely? I don't. I don't think you'll

1704
01:23:56,520 --> 01:23:59,639
Speaker 1: ever play a game. I'm not sure that he'll watch

1705
01:23:59,680 --> 01:24:02,599
Speaker 1: FOOTBA on Sundays. He's just not that kind of a guy.

1706
01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:05,040
Speaker 1: And he could have come out of Stanford his junior

1707
01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:06,679
Speaker 1: year and been the number one pick in the draft.

1708
01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:09,360
Speaker 1: But I remember doing some Stanford games out there when

1709
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:12,080
Speaker 1: he was a senior and riding around his mountain bike

1710
01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:14,639
Speaker 1: and his book bag and his you know, flip flops,

1711
01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:17,280
Speaker 1: and he enjoyed being a student. And I think he's

1712
01:24:17,280 --> 01:24:20,840
Speaker 1: gonna be I think he's just gonna enjoy this next

1713
01:24:20,880 --> 01:24:23,200
Speaker 1: phase of his life. I don't think the money of

1714
01:24:23,280 --> 01:24:25,920
Speaker 1: the fame did anything for him. I think that he's

1715
01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:29,320
Speaker 1: interested in what's next, and I think I think there

1716
01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:30,760
Speaker 1: will be a lot of people that will pick up

1717
01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:34,880
Speaker 1: the phone and call him, including Indianapolis Colts. But he'll

1718
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:37,120
Speaker 1: take the call. But I don't think that he'll ever

1719
01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:39,120
Speaker 1: come back and play again. Well what do the Colts

1720
01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:41,639
Speaker 1: do with Jacoby Brissette? I mean, the guy obviously has

1721
01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:44,160
Speaker 1: some credentials. He started for the team last year when

1722
01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 1: when or in seventeen when Andrew was hurt. He's got

1723
01:24:48,520 --> 01:24:51,240
Speaker 1: an experience and certainly they know his skill set pretty well.

1724
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:53,479
Speaker 1: What can we expect the Colts to do with the

1725
01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:56,519
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette as their quarterback? Well, a couple of things.

1726
01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:59,320
Speaker 1: Steve One is, you know, he's starting nineteen games in

1727
01:24:59,400 --> 01:25:02,080
Speaker 1: this week. So when he's got experienced, you have to

1728
01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:05,200
Speaker 1: realize that he is a big, strong, and sturdy player.

1729
01:25:05,200 --> 01:25:06,880
Speaker 1: I mean he's six to four, he's two n thirty

1730
01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:10,400
Speaker 1: eight pounds. He's built for the position. He could take

1731
01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:13,639
Speaker 1: a hit. When he played for the Colts two years ago,

1732
01:25:13,680 --> 01:25:16,040
Speaker 1: he was traded for two weeks before the start of

1733
01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:19,200
Speaker 1: the season and plugged into a team that wasn't very good.

1734
01:25:19,920 --> 01:25:22,800
Speaker 1: Chris Bower has upgraded the talent everywhere on the roster

1735
01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:25,960
Speaker 1: and it's a much better team that was. And I

1736
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:28,240
Speaker 1: think Chris Bower is just one of these gms that

1737
01:25:28,360 --> 01:25:31,439
Speaker 1: feel like he can build a team to withstand the

1738
01:25:31,479 --> 01:25:34,519
Speaker 1: loss of the best player, including the quarterback. I think

1739
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:38,080
Speaker 1: they're still going to be highly competitive. I think Jacoby

1740
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:41,120
Speaker 1: and there is one extended action in preseason against Cleveland,

1741
01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:44,320
Speaker 1: completed his last six plays, the last six passes in

1742
01:25:44,320 --> 01:25:47,760
Speaker 1: a row, including the touchdown eric a brun And It's

1743
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:49,920
Speaker 1: a tight end based offense and Frank Reich is a

1744
01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:53,240
Speaker 1: good play caller. He's got one. You know, he's playing

1745
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:56,040
Speaker 1: behind one of the best offensive lines in all of football.

1746
01:25:56,720 --> 01:25:59,720
Speaker 1: I expect Jacoby proct to play at a pretty high level.

1747
01:25:59,720 --> 01:26:02,280
Speaker 1: Step Hey, Brian, one more question I have for you

1748
01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:03,840
Speaker 1: about the Colts. By the way, we're on the line

1749
01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:07,240
Speaker 1: with former NFL offensive line and Brian Ballinger NFL Network,

1750
01:26:07,280 --> 01:26:09,600
Speaker 1: Fox Sports analysts. One more question I have for you

1751
01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:11,880
Speaker 1: about the Colts. And I wasn't listening to it, but

1752
01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:15,040
Speaker 1: I saw, you know, the discussion all day today, ESPN

1753
01:26:15,080 --> 01:26:17,559
Speaker 1: and everywhere else about the Luck retirement. And I saw

1754
01:26:17,560 --> 01:26:19,960
Speaker 1: a headline in the bottom of the screen. Whose fault

1755
01:26:20,120 --> 01:26:22,320
Speaker 1: is it that Andrew Luck has retired? And I thought,

1756
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:24,880
Speaker 1: there's no fault to be assigned here is there? What

1757
01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:27,839
Speaker 1: am I missing? Brian? There's nobody's at fault. Here are they?

1758
01:26:28,360 --> 01:26:30,720
Speaker 1: Nobody's at fault. But I do think that there is.

1759
01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:33,320
Speaker 1: You know, if Andrew Luck, I mean, I think he's

1760
01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:35,559
Speaker 1: always been thinking about this, Moore, then you know what

1761
01:26:35,680 --> 01:26:39,439
Speaker 1: he announcedment he made this weekend. But you know, I mean,

1762
01:26:39,479 --> 01:26:44,960
Speaker 1: if he's seriously thinking about retirement and the injuries and

1763
01:26:45,040 --> 01:26:47,280
Speaker 1: what it's done to him, I mean, I couldn't even

1764
01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:49,120
Speaker 1: think he owes that the Jim Ursay and Frank Ryk

1765
01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:52,120
Speaker 1: and his teammates to let them know to more than

1766
01:26:52,160 --> 01:26:54,320
Speaker 1: two weeks before the start of the season. I don't

1767
01:26:54,320 --> 01:26:57,080
Speaker 1: think anybody's at fault. I mean, everybody can make his

1768
01:26:57,120 --> 01:26:59,840
Speaker 1: own decision. Barry Sanders walked out the door after ten years,

1769
01:27:00,400 --> 01:27:02,639
Speaker 1: and you know it wasn't close that were coming back again.

1770
01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:05,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it happens to players. It's it's more of

1771
01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:08,439
Speaker 1: the exception than the rule, far more of the exception.

1772
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:10,599
Speaker 1: But I don't think anybody's to blame here. I mean,

1773
01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:14,200
Speaker 1: Andrew luck Is, he's wired differently than most players that

1774
01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:18,439
Speaker 1: get the opportunity to play in the NFL. Well, we're

1775
01:27:18,479 --> 01:27:22,000
Speaker 1: talking with Brian Baldinger, Fox Sports Analysts, and I want

1776
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:23,800
Speaker 1: to ask you a little bit about the Buffalo Bills.

1777
01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:27,479
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's has taken quite a few way more snaps

1778
01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:30,960
Speaker 1: probably than most starting quarterbacks in the National Football League,

1779
01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:33,160
Speaker 1: and it seems like it's worked out for his benefit

1780
01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:35,840
Speaker 1: because at this young age, even in just beginning of

1781
01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:37,479
Speaker 1: second year, he needs all the reps he can get.

1782
01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:40,120
Speaker 1: What have you seen about his progress? Well, I like

1783
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:42,519
Speaker 1: Josh Steve, we've you know, we've talked about him, you know,

1784
01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:45,840
Speaker 1: times before, but I like, you know, I know he's

1785
01:27:45,840 --> 01:27:48,840
Speaker 1: not the most accurate guy, but I think he's getting better.

1786
01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:50,760
Speaker 1: I don't think he has the best receiving corps in

1787
01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:53,600
Speaker 1: the league by far, but I think he's trying to

1788
01:27:53,640 --> 01:27:55,600
Speaker 1: work with Cole Beasley and John Brown some of the

1789
01:27:55,640 --> 01:28:00,439
Speaker 1: new players. You know, Zay Jones. You know he's all right,

1790
01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:02,559
Speaker 1: but I mean they they're still trying to get that

1791
01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:05,120
Speaker 1: timing back. But you know, he's just an elite athlete.

1792
01:28:05,439 --> 01:28:08,280
Speaker 1: Nothing seems to bother him. He seems to be in control.

1793
01:28:08,320 --> 01:28:10,599
Speaker 1: He seems to know what he's trying to do. They're

1794
01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:13,040
Speaker 1: trying to rebuild the offensive line. I mean, think Cody

1795
01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:15,760
Speaker 1: Ford's come in there. It played pretty well so far.

1796
01:28:18,040 --> 01:28:20,519
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a run based offense and he's gonna

1797
01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:23,320
Speaker 1: be a part of that. But I like the leadership

1798
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:26,719
Speaker 1: in Brains. I like the way, you know, he's big, strong,

1799
01:28:26,880 --> 01:28:29,280
Speaker 1: strapping guy man in a buffalo. It seems like he's

1800
01:28:29,320 --> 01:28:31,920
Speaker 1: just made for the elements and made for the fans

1801
01:28:31,920 --> 01:28:34,760
Speaker 1: of that type of team. Right now, Hey, Brian Man,

1802
01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:38,200
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about the Bills regular season

1803
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:40,519
Speaker 1: opponents on opening Day, the Jets. You've written about the

1804
01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:42,680
Speaker 1: Jets a little bit, and we tend to think of it.

1805
01:28:42,760 --> 01:28:46,000
Speaker 1: Here is another great matchup potential for Josh Allen versus

1806
01:28:46,040 --> 01:28:48,719
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold. Maybe the Bill should think about Quinn and Williams,

1807
01:28:48,720 --> 01:28:51,599
Speaker 1: the rookie on the defensive line for the Jets. Huh, well,

1808
01:28:51,640 --> 01:28:55,320
Speaker 1: I mean Quinny's well, if you've got two young defensive

1809
01:28:55,360 --> 01:28:58,080
Speaker 1: tackles and d Oliver and Quinny Williams that the drafted

1810
01:28:58,120 --> 01:29:01,080
Speaker 1: real high to kind of, you know, be the focal

1811
01:29:01,120 --> 01:29:04,760
Speaker 1: point of them of an improved defensive line, They're both

1812
01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:08,080
Speaker 1: going to get that opportunity. I think there's still both

1813
01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:09,960
Speaker 1: of them are still trying to figure it all out.

1814
01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:13,800
Speaker 1: I mean ed Oliver was basically a nose tackle, you

1815
01:29:13,840 --> 01:29:16,160
Speaker 1: know at Houston, didn't move around a lot. I thought

1816
01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:18,839
Speaker 1: he was played out of position. He's a little undersized.

1817
01:29:18,880 --> 01:29:22,479
Speaker 1: I think he's starting to see NFL offenses and all

1818
01:29:22,520 --> 01:29:24,280
Speaker 1: the things that he has to see up front. Stame

1819
01:29:24,320 --> 01:29:26,720
Speaker 1: with quite Williams. You see the talent, you can see

1820
01:29:26,760 --> 01:29:30,880
Speaker 1: the penetration, you see them the ability at times. But

1821
01:29:30,960 --> 01:29:34,080
Speaker 1: I think there's still a long ways away from where

1822
01:29:34,120 --> 01:29:38,240
Speaker 1: they're going to be. So I think it's just really

1823
01:29:38,280 --> 01:29:40,519
Speaker 1: young and it's hard for I mean, you look at

1824
01:29:40,560 --> 01:29:43,360
Speaker 1: anybody in this business started with Bruce Smith and what

1825
01:29:43,400 --> 01:29:45,240
Speaker 1: they did their first year in the league. Most of

1826
01:29:45,280 --> 01:29:48,080
Speaker 1: them don't set the world on fire in the first year.

1827
01:29:48,880 --> 01:29:50,719
Speaker 1: Most of them take a year to try to figure

1828
01:29:50,760 --> 01:29:51,920
Speaker 1: it out and I think it's going to be the

1829
01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:54,360
Speaker 1: case for both these guys. Well, Josh Allen has got

1830
01:29:54,400 --> 01:29:56,240
Speaker 1: a new toy in his offense and he's talked about

1831
01:29:56,240 --> 01:30:00,360
Speaker 1: it being a run based offense. How good or how

1832
01:30:00,439 --> 01:30:02,920
Speaker 1: much help could Cole Beasley be in just keeping this

1833
01:30:03,040 --> 01:30:05,120
Speaker 1: offense on the field. They led the league in three

1834
01:30:05,160 --> 01:30:07,680
Speaker 1: and ounce a year ago, did the Bill's offense. That

1835
01:30:07,840 --> 01:30:10,519
Speaker 1: may not be the case with Cole Beasley and Josh Allen,

1836
01:30:10,600 --> 01:30:13,240
Speaker 1: particularly given how easy it looked for the two of

1837
01:30:13,240 --> 01:30:16,439
Speaker 1: them to hook up against Carolina Panthers two weeks ago. Yeah, Steve,

1838
01:30:16,479 --> 01:30:19,320
Speaker 1: you know Cole Beasley, he led the Cowboys and receptions

1839
01:30:19,360 --> 01:30:22,120
Speaker 1: two years ago, and he was a safety blanket for Dak,

1840
01:30:23,320 --> 01:30:26,599
Speaker 1: no question about it, especially on third downs. I mean,

1841
01:30:26,720 --> 01:30:29,559
Speaker 1: you know these offenses, the way that they can run

1842
01:30:29,600 --> 01:30:32,200
Speaker 1: these option routes underneath and just get the matchups. Whether

1843
01:30:32,200 --> 01:30:35,280
Speaker 1: it's linebackers, it really doesn't matter. I mean the quickness

1844
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:38,879
Speaker 1: that he has, he separates quickly and he wins quickly,

1845
01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:41,479
Speaker 1: and so I think Josh needs a guy like that

1846
01:30:41,479 --> 01:30:43,760
Speaker 1: that he can lean on, especially on third downs when

1847
01:30:43,760 --> 01:30:46,600
Speaker 1: it's third and that medium range, you know, third and

1848
01:30:46,720 --> 01:30:49,040
Speaker 1: four to seven. I mean I think Cole Beasley is

1849
01:30:49,040 --> 01:30:51,800
Speaker 1: a guy that catch a lot of passes underneath, just

1850
01:30:51,840 --> 01:30:53,760
Speaker 1: the way that we've seen those guys that knowing will

1851
01:30:53,840 --> 01:30:56,400
Speaker 1: do it for years, whether it's Wes Welker and pick

1852
01:30:56,439 --> 01:30:59,040
Speaker 1: a name there that Bradys leaned on. I mean, I

1853
01:30:59,080 --> 01:31:02,439
Speaker 1: think it's be the same thing because they're just very

1854
01:31:02,439 --> 01:31:05,240
Speaker 1: difficult to stop right now, you know, with uh, these

1855
01:31:05,280 --> 01:31:08,320
Speaker 1: guys could just create you know, space with the way

1856
01:31:08,360 --> 01:31:10,880
Speaker 1: that they were able to stop and start. Hey, Brian,

Speaker 1: preseason games. Happy to have quarterback Matt Barkley and Surety

1874
01:32:20,320 --> 01:32:22,000
Speaker 1: with us, attle Man, Thanks for coming. How are we doing?

1875
01:32:22,280 --> 01:32:25,880
Speaker 1: We're doing great, Thank you. Seventy six percent completion, three touchdowns,

1876
01:32:25,880 --> 01:32:28,800
Speaker 1: no interceptions, quarterback raining of one thirty three point four.

1877
01:32:28,840 --> 01:32:32,080
Speaker 1: I believe is this your best preseason ever? So far?

1878
01:32:32,760 --> 01:32:35,479
Speaker 1: It has been. Yeah. I just feel super comfortable with

1879
01:32:35,520 --> 01:32:38,519
Speaker 1: everything with the offense, with the players I'm with, It's

1880
01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:40,160
Speaker 1: been fun so far. How many times have you had

1881
01:32:40,160 --> 01:32:42,240
Speaker 1: a chance to go into a preseason after having been

1882
01:32:42,240 --> 01:32:44,200
Speaker 1: with the club the year before. You know what I'm saying.

1883
01:32:44,200 --> 01:32:45,800
Speaker 1: With a year of offense, you kind of got it

1884
01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:47,679
Speaker 1: under your belt instead of just learning the new offense,

1885
01:32:47,720 --> 01:32:50,880
Speaker 1: I think only once or twice twice, maybe bounce around

1886
01:32:50,920 --> 01:32:53,120
Speaker 1: a few times, but hoping to make this place home

1887
01:32:53,160 --> 01:32:55,280
Speaker 1: and just really love everything about it from the staff,

1888
01:32:55,320 --> 01:32:57,920
Speaker 1: the players, Like I said, the city, it's it's unreal,

1889
01:32:57,960 --> 01:32:59,760
Speaker 1: so Yeah, I really having fun right now. The vibe

1890
01:32:59,760 --> 01:33:02,040
Speaker 1: come out of locker room is it a real together group,

1891
01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:05,160
Speaker 1: a lot of talent. There's gonna be some tough decisions

1892
01:33:05,160 --> 01:33:06,679
Speaker 1: to make at the end of this training camp, maybe

1893
01:33:06,680 --> 01:33:08,840
Speaker 1: for the first time in a while for the Buffalo Bills. Yeah,

1894
01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:11,640
Speaker 1: this upcoming week is always tough because you get so

1895
01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:15,000
Speaker 1: close with all these guys and really we have a

1896
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:17,960
Speaker 1: solid bunch of competitors here and good talent, like a

1897
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:21,000
Speaker 1: lot of talent, a lot of depth. And so it'll

1898
01:33:21,000 --> 01:33:23,439
Speaker 1: be good though, because I definitely think with the guys

1899
01:33:23,479 --> 01:33:26,120
Speaker 1: that they'll make it. We'll see them playing on Sunday.

1900
01:33:26,200 --> 01:33:27,960
Speaker 1: Still here. You mentioned before we came out of the

1901
01:33:27,960 --> 01:33:29,960
Speaker 1: air that you feel like the group you've been out

1902
01:33:29,960 --> 01:33:32,439
Speaker 1: there with second teamers, I guess for the most part

1903
01:33:32,720 --> 01:33:34,800
Speaker 1: is among the more talented groups that you've played with

1904
01:33:34,880 --> 01:33:37,080
Speaker 1: in preseason in the league so far. Yeah, I mean,

1905
01:33:37,160 --> 01:33:38,360
Speaker 1: for the most part, a lot of those guys have

1906
01:33:38,439 --> 01:33:42,040
Speaker 1: playing time in regular season games, and just to have

1907
01:33:42,080 --> 01:33:44,559
Speaker 1: the again, the chemistry from being here for a year

1908
01:33:44,600 --> 01:33:46,920
Speaker 1: now and knowing those guys, knowing their body language, you know,

1909
01:33:46,960 --> 01:33:49,960
Speaker 1: from the whiteouts, and being able to trust the line.

1910
01:33:50,120 --> 01:33:53,120
Speaker 1: It's it's huge, and the play calling has been been great,

1911
01:33:53,160 --> 01:33:55,240
Speaker 1: just getting the ball out quick, taking what they give us,

1912
01:33:55,240 --> 01:33:57,680
Speaker 1: and just moving the bought on the field. Yeah, a

1913
01:33:57,680 --> 01:34:00,599
Speaker 1: little bit about the changes you've seen from last year

1914
01:34:00,600 --> 01:34:04,120
Speaker 1: where you kind of parachuted in mid season, right, and

1915
01:34:04,160 --> 01:34:06,040
Speaker 1: then it kind of went and now you've started to

1916
01:34:06,080 --> 01:34:08,479
Speaker 1: build on that through the off season. Now you're you're

1917
01:34:08,520 --> 01:34:10,559
Speaker 1: an integral part of the team. Talk about the upgrades

1918
01:34:10,600 --> 01:34:13,400
Speaker 1: at wide receiver. Josh. We've seen an improvement in Josh.

1919
01:34:13,520 --> 01:34:16,160
Speaker 1: We've seen your improvement. You've just been fund that talent

1920
01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:18,000
Speaker 1: on the outside is completely different than it was a

1921
01:34:18,080 --> 01:34:19,680
Speaker 1: year ago. I'm not saying anything about the guys, but

1922
01:34:19,720 --> 01:34:22,920
Speaker 1: it's just different. Yeah. Yeah, we kind of transformed, I

1923
01:34:22,960 --> 01:34:26,439
Speaker 1: think just the style of receivers just added more speed,

1924
01:34:26,560 --> 01:34:29,759
Speaker 1: more quickness. Uh. We just we love to go fast

1925
01:34:29,800 --> 01:34:32,880
Speaker 1: and move the ball and added a lot of talent

1926
01:34:32,960 --> 01:34:35,440
Speaker 1: this year to be able to do that. And already

1927
01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:38,360
Speaker 1: even though Bees couldn't really do much. No, TIA's I

1928
01:34:38,400 --> 01:34:40,960
Speaker 1: think he and Josh have a great, great chemistry so far,

1929
01:34:41,040 --> 01:34:43,040
Speaker 1: and Smoke and everyone else. You know, from the speed

1930
01:34:43,080 --> 01:34:46,880
Speaker 1: we had last year with Robert and Andre and everyone,

1931
01:34:46,920 --> 01:34:49,320
Speaker 1: we added a lot of speed. You added the bills

1932
01:34:49,360 --> 01:34:51,799
Speaker 1: added to Duke Williams in the off season from the CFL,

1933
01:34:51,840 --> 01:34:54,160
Speaker 1: and you've connected with him on a couple of touchdowns

1934
01:34:54,200 --> 01:34:56,720
Speaker 1: that sort of play into his strong suit. Can you

1935
01:34:56,720 --> 01:34:59,000
Speaker 1: talk about him as a receiver, what you see from him? Yeah,

1936
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:01,120
Speaker 1: he's hungry. I think that's just the one word that

1937
01:35:01,120 --> 01:35:03,599
Speaker 1: would describe him right now. And everyone knows that. Everyone

1938
01:35:03,640 --> 01:35:06,200
Speaker 1: can see it. The way he practices, the way he prepares,

1939
01:35:06,280 --> 01:35:08,040
Speaker 1: the way he comes to the locker room. He's just hungry.

1940
01:35:08,080 --> 01:35:10,080
Speaker 1: And when you have a guy like that that you

1941
01:35:10,080 --> 01:35:12,760
Speaker 1: can trust and be confident with on the field, knowing

1942
01:35:12,840 --> 01:35:14,759
Speaker 1: that you throw it up and you put it anywhere close,

1943
01:35:15,040 --> 01:35:17,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna go get it. Yeah, just like that past. Yeah,

1944
01:35:17,600 --> 01:35:20,320
Speaker 1: he was one on one and he just need to

1945
01:35:20,320 --> 01:35:21,360
Speaker 1: go up and get it. And that's what we did.

1946
01:35:21,400 --> 01:35:22,680
Speaker 1: You really do. I mean, when you got a guy

1947
01:35:22,680 --> 01:35:25,040
Speaker 1: out there, you're in the preseason and we just watched

1948
01:35:25,080 --> 01:35:27,840
Speaker 1: here in the studio the Duke Williams catch against Detroit.

1949
01:35:28,640 --> 01:35:32,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta trust that guy that nothing bad

1950
01:35:32,200 --> 01:35:34,120
Speaker 1: is gonna happen when even if he doesn't catch it,

1951
01:35:34,120 --> 01:35:38,080
Speaker 1: nobody else will either. But exactly, that's at best a

1952
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:40,920
Speaker 1: fifty fifty shot. Yeah, you know, he's protecting the ball

1953
01:35:40,960 --> 01:35:43,639
Speaker 1: if he's not catching it, and so again, it gives

1954
01:35:43,640 --> 01:35:46,559
Speaker 1: you confidence knowing you can put it up there and

1955
01:35:46,880 --> 01:35:50,040
Speaker 1: even if it's not a perfect ball, he's gonna contest

1956
01:35:50,080 --> 01:35:52,000
Speaker 1: it or at least catch it. Yeah, where does that

1957
01:35:52,320 --> 01:35:54,720
Speaker 1: you mentioned he's hungry. Where does it manifest itself? Where

1958
01:35:54,720 --> 01:35:57,120
Speaker 1: do you see him doing that maybe a less hungry

1959
01:35:57,120 --> 01:36:01,000
Speaker 1: player might do. I think just the way he prepares

1960
01:36:01,040 --> 01:36:02,880
Speaker 1: and how serious he is, and how how are he

1961
01:36:02,920 --> 01:36:06,880
Speaker 1: approaches training and coming to practice every day, you can

1962
01:36:06,960 --> 01:36:10,080
Speaker 1: kind of just tell that he's motivated in a certain way.

1963
01:36:10,200 --> 01:36:13,280
Speaker 1: We're with Bill's quarterback Matt Barkley talking about the Bills

1964
01:36:13,280 --> 01:36:16,680
Speaker 1: after three preseason games, number four coming up this Thursday night.

1965
01:36:16,840 --> 01:36:19,280
Speaker 1: It appeared Friday night in Detroit that the focus, at

1966
01:36:19,360 --> 01:36:21,600
Speaker 1: least especially in the first half, was to get the

1967
01:36:21,640 --> 01:36:23,800
Speaker 1: running game going. Was that the approach to the team took,

1968
01:36:23,800 --> 01:36:26,120
Speaker 1: the offense took Friday, Yeah, we wanted to establish a

1969
01:36:26,120 --> 01:36:28,720
Speaker 1: lot of scrimmage, see what we had up front, let

1970
01:36:28,760 --> 01:36:31,360
Speaker 1: our backs work. I thought we did a fairly good

1971
01:36:31,400 --> 01:36:32,880
Speaker 1: job of that. You know, there are some times where

1972
01:36:32,920 --> 01:36:35,960
Speaker 1: we shot ourselves in the foot in other areas, whether

1973
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:39,040
Speaker 1: that was penalties or field position or whatnot. But it

1974
01:36:39,080 --> 01:36:42,280
Speaker 1: could have been a worst start to that game than

1975
01:36:42,520 --> 01:36:45,160
Speaker 1: the scoreboards showed. And so I think that you kind

1976
01:36:45,200 --> 01:36:47,800
Speaker 1: of probably heard that this week about this what kind

1977
01:36:47,840 --> 01:36:49,360
Speaker 1: of group we have, you know, with these guys that

1978
01:36:49,360 --> 01:36:52,840
Speaker 1: bounced back from those adversities, but we really did want

1979
01:36:52,840 --> 01:36:55,559
Speaker 1: to come out and start off strong with that running game. Yeah.

1980
01:36:55,920 --> 01:36:58,200
Speaker 1: Do you say how much conversation is there in the

1981
01:36:58,280 --> 01:37:01,240
Speaker 1: quarterback room about all the chef around the offensive line

1982
01:37:01,240 --> 01:37:04,479
Speaker 1: has had to do because of the injuries. We don't

1983
01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:06,640
Speaker 1: talk about a whole lot. This is kind of a

1984
01:37:06,720 --> 01:37:09,679
Speaker 1: nature of this sport, I think, just with the amount

1985
01:37:09,680 --> 01:37:12,479
Speaker 1: of guys that come in and out, but with the

1986
01:37:12,479 --> 01:37:14,519
Speaker 1: guys that we have, I think, you know, Bobby Johnson

1987
01:37:14,520 --> 01:37:16,920
Speaker 1: has done an unreal job of getting those guys prepared.

1988
01:37:17,040 --> 01:37:20,320
Speaker 1: And I love the scheme that we're running. We're able

1989
01:37:20,360 --> 01:37:23,280
Speaker 1: to kind of plug and play guys, and the guys

1990
01:37:23,320 --> 01:37:25,720
Speaker 1: that we have signed really have done a good job

1991
01:37:25,720 --> 01:37:27,960
Speaker 1: of getting up to speak quickly. We've kind of been

1992
01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:30,240
Speaker 1: able to make it simple for them so they can

1993
01:37:30,280 --> 01:37:32,439
Speaker 1: just play fast. Hey man, is we get ready to

1994
01:37:32,520 --> 01:37:36,240
Speaker 1: move into regular season, what will your role be? On

1995
01:37:36,280 --> 01:37:39,880
Speaker 1: the sidelines in game, I'm a headset communicating with the

1996
01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:42,439
Speaker 1: coach table and Josh or how will that work for you?

1997
01:37:42,520 --> 01:37:44,080
Speaker 1: So I won't be on the coach's headset. I don't

1998
01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:46,720
Speaker 1: know if that's legal or not. I'll be listening and

1999
01:37:47,000 --> 01:37:50,120
Speaker 1: just I'll be hearing what Josh is hearing, and I'll

2000
01:37:50,160 --> 01:37:51,840
Speaker 1: be hearing the play calls, and I'll be kind of

2001
01:37:51,840 --> 01:37:55,200
Speaker 1: looking a little bit at everything, you know, the secondary.

2002
01:37:55,280 --> 01:37:56,760
Speaker 1: We have guys up in the booth that are given

2003
01:37:56,760 --> 01:37:58,960
Speaker 1: all the stats of the coaches about down to distance,

2004
01:37:59,080 --> 01:38:02,479
Speaker 1: personnela stuff. But I'm trying to help Josh and see

2005
01:38:02,479 --> 01:38:04,600
Speaker 1: it from his perspective, So I'll be looking at the

2006
01:38:04,600 --> 01:38:07,559
Speaker 1: defense different uh, you know, and other routes and other

2007
01:38:07,560 --> 01:38:10,080
Speaker 1: players looking at personnel see if we can attack a

2008
01:38:10,080 --> 01:38:11,679
Speaker 1: certain guy. You know, we'll know most of that stuff

2009
01:38:11,720 --> 01:38:14,760
Speaker 1: going into the game, but things shift, you know, very

2010
01:38:14,840 --> 01:38:16,559
Speaker 1: quickly in the midst of a game. So just being

2011
01:38:16,560 --> 01:38:18,160
Speaker 1: able to give him those updates. You had a half

2012
01:38:18,160 --> 01:38:20,360
Speaker 1: season here last year and now this preseason. But are

2013
01:38:20,360 --> 01:38:23,400
Speaker 1: you and Josh already in the habit of having regular dialogue,

2014
01:38:23,439 --> 01:38:25,559
Speaker 1: like you have a preset meeting every time he comes

2015
01:38:25,560 --> 01:38:27,360
Speaker 1: off the field to talk. If you spend you just

2016
01:38:27,400 --> 01:38:30,000
Speaker 1: go to each other. It's not the same thing every time.

2017
01:38:30,080 --> 01:38:33,360
Speaker 1: It's not a certain checklist per se. But if anything

2018
01:38:33,439 --> 01:38:37,240
Speaker 1: needs to be hit, we definitely have an open communication

2019
01:38:37,280 --> 01:38:39,920
Speaker 1: line to where we discuss things and you know what

2020
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:43,320
Speaker 1: he's seeing, what I'm seeing with Davis has seen, it's

2021
01:38:42,960 --> 01:38:45,560
Speaker 1: a it's a conducive environment to learn. How important is

2022
01:38:45,560 --> 01:38:47,360
Speaker 1: it for a quarterback are you've been in games and

2023
01:38:47,560 --> 01:38:49,840
Speaker 1: in the heat of the moment to have a play

2024
01:38:50,200 --> 01:38:52,960
Speaker 1: not just a quarterback, coach an offensive coordinator. How big

2025
01:38:52,960 --> 01:38:54,559
Speaker 1: a difference is there when you got a voice of

2026
01:38:54,600 --> 01:38:57,639
Speaker 1: a guy that plays it, who's on your side, who

2027
01:38:57,680 --> 01:38:59,759
Speaker 1: wants the best you know what I mean? How important

2028
01:38:59,800 --> 01:39:02,360
Speaker 1: is that voice in relationship to the coaches or whatever,

2029
01:39:02,400 --> 01:39:05,599
Speaker 1: because everybody's pulling for you, Yeah, but the source is different.

2030
01:39:05,840 --> 01:39:08,000
Speaker 1: It's about like for me to Josh yeah, or for

2031
01:39:08,080 --> 01:39:11,200
Speaker 1: you and hap yeah. Somebody else yeah, you know it's

2032
01:39:11,240 --> 01:39:13,679
Speaker 1: from someone uh yeah, who's on your in your same

2033
01:39:13,720 --> 01:39:16,600
Speaker 1: plane in a sense, um, who is is not judging you,

2034
01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:18,880
Speaker 1: who's just trying to help you. It's it's crucial and

2035
01:39:19,560 --> 01:39:22,160
Speaker 1: any team I've been on when I've been the starter,

2036
01:39:22,439 --> 01:39:24,680
Speaker 1: having a guy that's Uh, that I can ask to

2037
01:39:25,360 --> 01:39:28,400
Speaker 1: know what's your perspective on this rather than a coach's perspective. Um,

2038
01:39:28,400 --> 01:39:30,120
Speaker 1: they kind of just get the timing a little better.

2039
01:39:30,160 --> 01:39:32,559
Speaker 1: You know, the timing of the play, the route and

2040
01:39:32,640 --> 01:39:36,280
Speaker 1: everything else. Um, it's big man. You're you're in in

2041
01:39:36,320 --> 01:39:39,160
Speaker 1: your seventh year on your seventh different NFL team. Uh,

2042
01:39:39,439 --> 01:39:41,200
Speaker 1: you know, targeted to be the backup? Here? Is there

2043
01:39:41,320 --> 01:39:44,240
Speaker 1: a backup quarterback mindset that you have adopted that you

2044
01:39:44,280 --> 01:39:47,479
Speaker 1: have already applied here to your in Buffalo? I think

2045
01:39:47,520 --> 01:39:50,360
Speaker 1: I've learned how to be a backup. Um, I would

2046
01:39:50,360 --> 01:39:54,120
Speaker 1: say that's not my mindset per se of who I am.

2047
01:39:54,160 --> 01:39:56,720
Speaker 1: Just I'm a quarterback, and whether that's in a backup role,

2048
01:39:56,760 --> 01:39:59,120
Speaker 1: I'll do that, whether that's in a starting role, I'll

2049
01:39:59,280 --> 01:40:01,000
Speaker 1: take on that for you know, what have you learned

2050
01:40:01,000 --> 01:40:04,439
Speaker 1: about pterbackup? So I've been Yeah, I've been suited up

2051
01:40:04,479 --> 01:40:06,880
Speaker 1: for games, I've been not suited up for games as

2052
01:40:06,880 --> 01:40:09,720
Speaker 1: a backup, and just learning how to still lead in

2053
01:40:09,760 --> 01:40:12,240
Speaker 1: those roles is super important, I think, because you can

2054
01:40:12,280 --> 01:40:15,599
Speaker 1: still add value to whatever team you're in, to whatever

2055
01:40:15,720 --> 01:40:18,360
Speaker 1: room you're in, no matter what your position is. And

2056
01:40:18,400 --> 01:40:20,840
Speaker 1: so I've learned just to still be an encouragement to

2057
01:40:21,200 --> 01:40:25,680
Speaker 1: again provide that feedback that's necessary and if I need

2058
01:40:25,720 --> 01:40:27,679
Speaker 1: to go play, then so be it something that happened

2059
01:40:27,760 --> 01:40:29,920
Speaker 1: after you arrived. Last year, You came in, you started,

2060
01:40:29,960 --> 01:40:32,120
Speaker 1: after what eleven or twelve days in the building, you

2061
01:40:32,120 --> 01:40:33,800
Speaker 1: beat the New York Jets. So you're gonna play on

2062
01:40:33,840 --> 01:40:36,160
Speaker 1: opening day this year. Both teams are going to be

2063
01:40:36,240 --> 01:40:38,680
Speaker 1: vastly different than they were a year ago. One of

2064
01:40:38,680 --> 01:40:40,920
Speaker 1: the reasons you're here is we heard going in as

2065
01:40:40,920 --> 01:40:44,160
Speaker 1: a season progressed last year. You and and Da Derek Anderson,

2066
01:40:44,160 --> 01:40:47,400
Speaker 1: who was here last year. Your quarterback group really came

2067
01:40:47,439 --> 01:40:51,280
Speaker 1: together and became a good group, which is one of

2068
01:40:51,280 --> 01:40:53,559
Speaker 1: the reasons why they wanted you back. They wanted you

2069
01:40:53,600 --> 01:40:56,960
Speaker 1: to be here. They you know you're here. How how

2070
01:40:57,000 --> 01:41:00,160
Speaker 1: does that aid a starting quarterback having a group like

2071
01:41:00,200 --> 01:41:02,559
Speaker 1: that around him, And does it change your ability to

2072
01:41:02,640 --> 01:41:05,639
Speaker 1: pull Josh aside and maybe say some things that nobody

2073
01:41:05,680 --> 01:41:08,759
Speaker 1: else is willing to say. Yeah, I think just the

2074
01:41:08,800 --> 01:41:13,559
Speaker 1: comfortability that we all have together with including Tyree and

2075
01:41:13,680 --> 01:41:16,840
Speaker 1: obviously Dave's and Doors and even Shay Tierney who's in

2076
01:41:16,840 --> 01:41:20,240
Speaker 1: our room. There's no trying to one up each other

2077
01:41:20,320 --> 01:41:23,519
Speaker 1: there's no you know, even when the coaches aren't my

2078
01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:25,639
Speaker 1: way or the highway, we're all learning together. We bring

2079
01:41:25,680 --> 01:41:27,479
Speaker 1: plays to them in the beginning of the week to

2080
01:41:27,520 --> 01:41:29,439
Speaker 1: say this is a way that we think we can

2081
01:41:29,479 --> 01:41:32,720
Speaker 1: attack this team, and then we all kind of collaborate

2082
01:41:32,760 --> 01:41:38,040
Speaker 1: together and it's it's very just again conducive to becoming

2083
01:41:38,240 --> 01:41:41,360
Speaker 1: better as a group. And so from Josh's perspective as

2084
01:41:41,360 --> 01:41:43,639
Speaker 1: a starter, we're all working together to help. Obviously he's

2085
01:41:43,680 --> 01:41:45,800
Speaker 1: the guy that's gonna be playing on Sundays, but it

2086
01:41:45,920 --> 01:41:48,280
Speaker 1: is a commulative team effort to get to that point.

2087
01:41:48,520 --> 01:41:50,639
Speaker 1: Hey man, thanks for this, Good luck to you. Continue

2088
01:41:50,640 --> 01:41:53,519
Speaker 1: to drop and by man go Bill's yeah. Good preseason.

2089
01:41:53,560 --> 01:41:56,720
Speaker 1: Mett Barkley, Bills quarterback Josh Allen, Bill's quarterback met with

2090
01:41:56,840 --> 01:41:59,559
Speaker 1: the media a couple of minutes ago, answering questions, including

2091
01:41:59,600 --> 01:42:01,680
Speaker 1: one about working with Mitch Moore. Is trying to get

2092
01:42:01,720 --> 01:42:05,280
Speaker 1: on the same page with the starting center Mitch Moores, Well,

2093
01:42:05,280 --> 01:42:07,840
Speaker 1: there's always always work to be done. But having Mitch

2094
01:42:07,840 --> 01:42:10,680
Speaker 1: back obviously is great for us as an offense. You know,

2095
01:42:10,760 --> 01:42:13,479
Speaker 1: the knowledge that he brings, the communication, the leadership that

2096
01:42:13,479 --> 01:42:15,960
Speaker 1: he brings. Um, you know, it's just fun having him

2097
01:42:15,960 --> 01:42:17,360
Speaker 1: out there game, but you know, there's still a lot

2098
01:42:17,360 --> 01:42:18,760
Speaker 1: of things to work on that we're you know, going

2099
01:42:18,760 --> 01:42:22,120
Speaker 1: through through practice and um, you know, unfortunately we won't

2100
01:42:22,160 --> 01:42:25,080
Speaker 1: have those in game reps. But um no, and Mitch

2101
01:42:25,120 --> 01:42:28,599
Speaker 1: and his background and how long he's played and at

2102
01:42:28,600 --> 01:42:30,479
Speaker 1: such a high level, So I'm not not worried at all.

2103
01:42:33,200 --> 01:42:37,120
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck's finally as a quarterback because what made me

2104
01:42:37,439 --> 01:42:40,200
Speaker 1: do and just got a few thoughts on it. Yeah, Um,

2105
01:42:40,240 --> 01:42:42,960
Speaker 1: And obviously it's you know, his decision and if he

2106
01:42:43,000 --> 01:42:46,440
Speaker 1: made the right decision with him, it's all matters really. Um.

2107
01:42:46,479 --> 01:42:48,320
Speaker 1: You know, he was a fun player to watch as

2108
01:42:48,320 --> 01:42:50,320
Speaker 1: a young kid growing up, seeing him at Stanford, being

2109
01:42:50,360 --> 01:42:54,679
Speaker 1: a California kid, Um, seeing how much passion he played with,

2110
01:42:54,840 --> 01:42:56,559
Speaker 1: you know, Um, and he was one of the young

2111
01:42:56,680 --> 01:42:58,920
Speaker 1: stars of this game. And it's sad to see a

2112
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:01,479
Speaker 1: player that gets in re riddled and um, you know

2113
01:43:01,520 --> 01:43:03,920
Speaker 1: you hate to see that. And um, but as long

2114
01:43:03,960 --> 01:43:06,439
Speaker 1: as he's happy with his decision, um, you know, I

2115
01:43:06,439 --> 01:43:09,120
Speaker 1: think that's all that matters really, And you know, it's

2116
01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:11,240
Speaker 1: sad to see him leave the game, but um, you know,

2117
01:43:11,320 --> 01:43:13,280
Speaker 1: praying for him and his success in his future life

2118
01:43:13,320 --> 01:43:15,560
Speaker 1: as well, so Mitchian team grows a loving out a

2119
01:43:15,560 --> 01:43:19,120
Speaker 1: lot of him put him Yes, he was, yeah, you know,

2120
01:43:19,280 --> 01:43:22,720
Speaker 1: I mean there's rustiness, but you've had you've worked with

2121
01:43:22,760 --> 01:43:25,040
Speaker 1: the release on the exchange right there. Shouldn't do too

2122
01:43:25,080 --> 01:43:26,960
Speaker 1: much of a concern. Noah, No, not at all. You know,

2123
01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:29,840
Speaker 1: we've been practicing center quarterback exchange for you know, as

2124
01:43:29,880 --> 01:43:31,639
Speaker 1: long as he's been out here, even in a red jersey.

2125
01:43:31,680 --> 01:43:36,120
Speaker 1: So it's just it's different types of movements, different types

2126
01:43:36,120 --> 01:43:38,599
Speaker 1: of communication when we're in there together against the live

2127
01:43:38,680 --> 01:43:41,479
Speaker 1: defense and a defense as good as ours. So it's

2128
01:43:41,479 --> 01:43:44,760
Speaker 1: a good challenge every day Frank and Sharn in the

2129
01:43:44,800 --> 01:43:47,519
Speaker 1: backfield and maybe a little bit of definis roubles like

2130
01:43:47,640 --> 01:43:50,800
Speaker 1: having that full compliment of running backs in fact that

2131
01:43:50,880 --> 01:43:53,599
Speaker 1: which it was awesome. You know, they did their job,

2132
01:43:53,760 --> 01:43:55,840
Speaker 1: you know when the opportunity present himself, yit the whole

2133
01:43:55,880 --> 01:43:57,920
Speaker 1: is hard and um, you know, broke out some long

2134
01:43:58,000 --> 01:43:59,800
Speaker 1: runs to it and you know that just kind of

2135
01:44:00,160 --> 01:44:02,479
Speaker 1: showed our mentality as an offense there of sticking with

2136
01:44:02,520 --> 01:44:04,479
Speaker 1: the run and trying to develop that and trying to

2137
01:44:04,560 --> 01:44:08,120
Speaker 1: establish that and um, like I said earlier on in

2138
01:44:08,120 --> 01:44:09,880
Speaker 1: the game, we'd you know a couple of calls and

2139
01:44:10,000 --> 01:44:12,120
Speaker 1: go our way, but we stuck with it and our

2140
01:44:12,120 --> 01:44:14,360
Speaker 1: guys had a lot of mental toughness in that aspect.

2141
01:44:14,400 --> 01:44:16,320
Speaker 1: And um, like I said, they round the ball really

2142
01:44:16,360 --> 01:44:20,200
Speaker 1: hard East the University of running Back. So you know,

2143
01:44:20,280 --> 01:44:22,040
Speaker 1: I just think it adds different elements to what we

2144
01:44:22,080 --> 01:44:24,559
Speaker 1: can do. You know, um with the knowledge at Frank

2145
01:44:24,640 --> 01:44:27,519
Speaker 1: has and um still he can he can still play

2146
01:44:27,520 --> 01:44:30,360
Speaker 1: and still run, and how explosive Shady is and um

2147
01:44:30,560 --> 01:44:32,240
Speaker 1: Motor with what he can do in the passing game

2148
01:44:32,280 --> 01:44:34,000
Speaker 1: as well in the running game. You know, I think

2149
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:35,559
Speaker 1: it adds a lot of different elements. And then you

2150
01:44:35,640 --> 01:44:39,120
Speaker 1: throw in TJ and Snorris and other guys like that. Um,

2151
01:44:39,600 --> 01:44:41,920
Speaker 1: it's just there's guys that can do, like I said,

2152
01:44:41,960 --> 01:44:44,800
Speaker 1: different things and it's it's fun to watch and UM,

2153
01:44:45,240 --> 01:44:46,920
Speaker 1: you know it's kind of cool how they communicate and

2154
01:44:46,960 --> 01:44:49,559
Speaker 1: how they try to develop their skills, kind of leaning

2155
01:44:49,600 --> 01:44:52,840
Speaker 1: on each other for advice and um, you know, mental

2156
01:44:52,840 --> 01:44:55,760
Speaker 1: reps of seeing how Shady, especially Motor, you know, he's

2157
01:44:55,800 --> 01:44:57,760
Speaker 1: in a great position with two great running backs in

2158
01:44:57,760 --> 01:44:59,400
Speaker 1: front of him like that, to learn from them and

2159
01:44:59,640 --> 01:45:01,559
Speaker 1: see the body language and how they kind of go

2160
01:45:01,640 --> 01:45:05,240
Speaker 1: through daily NFL life. It's awesome TJ with ahead a

2161
01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:11,080
Speaker 1: few couple of nice catches. You what stands out to him?

2162
01:45:11,479 --> 01:45:14,559
Speaker 1: Big dude, Like he is really really big and he's fast,

2163
01:45:14,640 --> 01:45:17,000
Speaker 1: so um, so many times we can get the ball

2164
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:18,439
Speaker 1: in his hands as possible, you know, that's what we're

2165
01:45:18,439 --> 01:45:19,960
Speaker 1: in trying to do. And Matt did a good job

2166
01:45:19,960 --> 01:45:22,000
Speaker 1: of getting the ball out quick to him and TJ

2167
01:45:22,080 --> 01:45:24,559
Speaker 1: obviously caught the ball and made yards um with what

2168
01:45:24,680 --> 01:45:26,240
Speaker 1: was in front of him. And he's not afraid to

2169
01:45:26,240 --> 01:45:28,880
Speaker 1: go lower shoulder and get yards after conduct too. So

2170
01:45:29,240 --> 01:45:31,280
Speaker 1: he's one of those guys that's slowly progressing and it's

2171
01:45:31,320 --> 01:45:33,040
Speaker 1: been awesome to kind of watch his transition. In this

2172
01:45:33,120 --> 01:45:36,400
Speaker 1: offense with Duke Williams, he got an opportunity with the

2173
01:45:37,880 --> 01:45:39,800
Speaker 1: really blocking. I mean he had a great block on

2174
01:45:39,880 --> 01:45:42,240
Speaker 1: Gores right, not a touchdown. What have you seen out

2175
01:45:42,240 --> 01:45:44,360
Speaker 1: of Duke to He's come up the chart maybe earns

2176
01:45:44,439 --> 01:45:47,040
Speaker 1: some time. Yeah, I mean he just you know, like

2177
01:45:47,080 --> 01:45:51,160
Speaker 1: it shows character, It shows what he is as a person. Um.

2178
01:45:51,200 --> 01:45:54,519
Speaker 1: He doesn't care for all the so called glory. You know,

2179
01:45:54,560 --> 01:45:56,000
Speaker 1: he's not afraid to go stick his face in and

2180
01:45:56,040 --> 01:45:58,280
Speaker 1: get a block and um do all the dirty work.

2181
01:45:58,280 --> 01:46:00,439
Speaker 1: That needs to be done. So he's just one of

2182
01:46:00,439 --> 01:46:02,920
Speaker 1: those players where he's not gonna complain much, he's not

2183
01:46:02,920 --> 01:46:04,519
Speaker 1: gonna talk much. He's gonna go do his job and

2184
01:46:04,520 --> 01:46:06,800
Speaker 1: when the opportunity presents himself. I think we've seen the

2185
01:46:06,920 --> 01:46:08,640
Speaker 1: last couple of games where you know, he's had the

2186
01:46:08,640 --> 01:46:10,000
Speaker 1: opportunity to go out and make a couple of big

2187
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:12,760
Speaker 1: time plays and he's done it. Andrew was part of

2188
01:46:12,800 --> 01:46:17,840
Speaker 1: his explanation. He said that the wearer and the grind, especially,

2189
01:46:18,320 --> 01:46:21,080
Speaker 1: you know, the rehabbing away from the team. Can you

2190
01:46:21,120 --> 01:46:24,400
Speaker 1: speak at all to what that's like, how obviously it

2191
01:46:24,439 --> 01:46:26,439
Speaker 1: was very tough for him over the last few years,

2192
01:46:26,920 --> 01:46:30,200
Speaker 1: what it's like to be in that injury rehab paying

2193
01:46:30,720 --> 01:46:33,840
Speaker 1: cycle and missing you know games and all that stuff.

2194
01:46:34,360 --> 01:46:37,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's not fun um being in that type

2195
01:46:37,240 --> 01:46:39,000
Speaker 1: of cycle, and I know he'd been dealing with it

2196
01:46:39,040 --> 01:46:42,320
Speaker 1: for the last couple of years. And Um, like I said,

2197
01:46:42,320 --> 01:46:44,920
Speaker 1: it's just sucks to see player as good as him

2198
01:46:45,000 --> 01:46:47,320
Speaker 1: kind of go through that cycle, um and lose the

2199
01:46:47,360 --> 01:46:49,880
Speaker 1: love of the game. But you know, I really can't

2200
01:46:49,880 --> 01:46:52,840
Speaker 1: speak on his behalf on that part. You know, I

2201
01:46:52,960 --> 01:46:55,120
Speaker 1: had an injury in college and um, a little Dell

2202
01:46:55,200 --> 01:46:59,719
Speaker 1: last year, but nothing as majors as he has, so um, whatever,

2203
01:46:59,760 --> 01:47:02,400
Speaker 1: he's like kind of dealing with there. You know, that's

2204
01:47:02,800 --> 01:47:05,800
Speaker 1: his right night. Like I said, Um, nobody who's in

2205
01:47:05,840 --> 01:47:07,880
Speaker 1: a tough position but himself and a long seam made

2206
01:47:07,880 --> 01:47:09,599
Speaker 1: the right decision. You know, we're all happy for him.

2207
01:47:09,840 --> 01:47:12,360
Speaker 1: There you go, Josh Allon and Andrew Luck and other topics,

2208
01:47:12,400 --> 01:47:15,880
Speaker 1: including Mitch Morris. Now, Morris remains in concussion protocol, but

2209
01:47:16,360 --> 01:47:18,519
Speaker 1: Josh Shallen pointed out that he did take snaps with

2210
01:47:18,600 --> 01:47:21,879
Speaker 1: him in eleven on eleven teamwork today. No contact obviously,

2211
01:47:21,920 --> 01:47:26,320
Speaker 1: but that's that's who knows. Concussion protocol continues, and unlikely

2212
01:47:26,320 --> 01:47:28,439
Speaker 1: that Mitch Morse will see any action on Thursday night,

2213
01:47:28,439 --> 01:47:30,840
Speaker 1: I would think in preseason game number four. So now

2214
01:47:30,880 --> 01:47:34,000
Speaker 1: it's like, what's the rush, right, Oh yeah, he's not playing.

2215
01:47:34,040 --> 01:47:37,000
Speaker 1: He's not playing this week anyway, And and I think

2216
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:39,280
Speaker 1: they're more interested in making sure he's one hundred percent

2217
01:47:40,880 --> 01:47:45,240
Speaker 1: one hundred percent because it, yeah, the better you get

2218
01:47:45,520 --> 01:47:47,519
Speaker 1: the least like, the less likely it is that you

2219
01:47:47,600 --> 01:47:52,479
Speaker 1: have another setback where you know where the thought is

2220
01:47:52,560 --> 01:47:57,080
Speaker 1: that when you get a concussion, the next if you

2221
01:47:57,120 --> 01:47:59,920
Speaker 1: don't wait long enough before you go back to regular action,

2222
01:48:00,040 --> 01:48:02,799
Speaker 1: and the next concussion will take less of an impact

2223
01:48:02,880 --> 01:48:07,160
Speaker 1: to acquire, and so forth. If you come back too

2224
01:48:07,160 --> 01:48:09,960
Speaker 1: soon from that concussion, the next time is it comes

2225
01:48:09,960 --> 01:48:13,559
Speaker 1: even easier. I remember a former player that I played against,

2226
01:48:13,560 --> 01:48:15,840
Speaker 1: Al Tune, a great receiver for the New York Jets

2227
01:48:16,040 --> 01:48:18,680
Speaker 1: who I played with in the Pro Bowl. Um his

2228
01:48:18,720 --> 01:48:21,320
Speaker 1: career was ended because of concussions because he kept coming

2229
01:48:21,360 --> 01:48:25,720
Speaker 1: back a little too soon. And and I'm not trying

2230
01:48:25,720 --> 01:48:27,280
Speaker 1: to make a joke or anything, because it's not. It's

2231
01:48:27,280 --> 01:48:30,680
Speaker 1: a serious matter. You think about how this happened. The

2232
01:48:30,760 --> 01:48:34,720
Speaker 1: guy sneezed hard and gave himself a concussion. That's how

2233
01:48:35,160 --> 01:48:38,519
Speaker 1: how often he came back too soon from concussions, And

2234
01:48:38,560 --> 01:48:39,960
Speaker 1: it took him years to get over that. And I

2235
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:42,080
Speaker 1: don't even know if if you know how long it

2236
01:48:42,120 --> 01:48:44,040
Speaker 1: took him. But he had to retire because of it

2237
01:48:44,040 --> 01:48:46,200
Speaker 1: had ended his career. And it's it's a sad thing

2238
01:48:46,240 --> 01:48:48,360
Speaker 1: to think about, but it's it's the truth of the matter.

2239
01:48:48,400 --> 01:48:52,080
Speaker 1: So Mitch Morris is doing the right thing by making

2240
01:48:52,120 --> 01:48:54,040
Speaker 1: sure he's one hundred percent before he ever steps back

2241
01:48:54,080 --> 01:48:57,040
Speaker 1: on the field full go. Hey, let's take a look

Speaker 1: the right decision? Pretty quick question, pretty simple question. We

Speaker 1: the NFL? Ninety three percent of you said sure he does,

2255
01:49:29,840 --> 01:49:33,160
Speaker 1: on the air with us. Hey, how you guys doing today? Okay, good?

2256
01:49:33,479 --> 01:49:35,680
Speaker 1: Listen what I called about. I was calling about the

2257
01:49:35,800 --> 01:49:40,160
Speaker 1: offensive line. I like it. I like it. I like

2258
01:49:40,280 --> 01:49:43,920
Speaker 1: the running game. I like Frank Gore, I like Shady.

2259
01:49:44,080 --> 01:49:47,679
Speaker 1: I think there's a big upgrade. I guess the number

2260
01:49:47,720 --> 01:49:51,720
Speaker 1: one defense, by the way, and the defense we got

2261
01:49:51,840 --> 01:49:53,840
Speaker 1: now is a great defense. I don't think you didn't

2262
01:49:53,880 --> 01:49:56,920
Speaker 1: get him much better. And this is the way I feel.

2263
01:49:57,000 --> 01:49:59,520
Speaker 1: I said it from the beginning the running game. Producers

2264
01:49:59,520 --> 01:50:02,320
Speaker 1: your past game. I want to go what you guys

2265
01:50:02,360 --> 01:50:05,080
Speaker 1: think about that? And are we had one question? Who's

2266
01:50:05,160 --> 01:50:09,519
Speaker 1: number forty, forty or forty one? Number forty or forty one?

2267
01:50:09,640 --> 01:50:13,320
Speaker 1: Forty one is Maurice Alexander linebacker number talking defense? Number

2268
01:50:13,360 --> 01:50:18,680
Speaker 1: forty is hum Devin Singletary. I think he's one. They

2269
01:50:18,680 --> 01:50:22,080
Speaker 1: had that run around the end. That's right, that's Devin Singletary.

2270
01:50:22,200 --> 01:50:26,519
Speaker 1: He's pretty quick man. Yeah, yeah, I could run. All right, guys,

2271
01:50:26,520 --> 01:50:28,000
Speaker 1: you have a good day. I just wanted to give

2272
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:30,240
Speaker 1: my two cents in. That's all. Thanks, Thanks Dave. Yeah,

2273
01:50:30,240 --> 01:50:32,679
Speaker 1: you're right, listen, no question about it. If the running

2274
01:50:32,720 --> 01:50:36,360
Speaker 1: game goes, everything else is is made easy because the

2275
01:50:36,439 --> 01:50:38,960
Speaker 1: defense has to pack around the line of scrimmage. I

2276
01:50:39,000 --> 01:50:42,200
Speaker 1: mean they were able to do that last year. Defense

2277
01:50:42,320 --> 01:50:45,800
Speaker 1: is really sold out to stop the run last year, Murph,

2278
01:50:45,880 --> 01:50:47,679
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, they're running against eight and nine

2279
01:50:47,680 --> 01:50:49,880
Speaker 1: man fronts all the time because they just didn't believe

2280
01:50:49,920 --> 01:50:51,680
Speaker 1: Josh Allen could drop back and throw it. Now they

2281
01:50:51,680 --> 01:50:55,160
Speaker 1: could drop back and throw it deep. But you know

2282
01:50:55,240 --> 01:50:58,040
Speaker 1: that was their way of defending the Bills. If you

2283
01:50:58,080 --> 01:51:00,280
Speaker 1: can threaten them on the outside and get those guys

2284
01:51:00,320 --> 01:51:02,439
Speaker 1: out of the box. Yeah, the running games, it's going

2285
01:51:02,479 --> 01:51:04,240
Speaker 1: to help a lot. Plus, your offensive line is going

2286
01:51:04,280 --> 01:51:07,360
Speaker 1: to be more effective, not only because they've got fewer

2287
01:51:07,360 --> 01:51:10,439
Speaker 1: guys up in the box to block, but also because

2288
01:51:10,439 --> 01:51:12,320
Speaker 1: the defense is worried about you beating him over the

2289
01:51:12,360 --> 01:51:14,400
Speaker 1: top more than they were last year, or in the

2290
01:51:14,400 --> 01:51:18,439
Speaker 1: intermediate and quicker passing it. So yeah, if you can

2291
01:51:18,520 --> 01:51:21,040
Speaker 1: run it, everything gets easy, no question about it. Let's

2292
01:51:21,040 --> 01:51:23,559
Speaker 1: take a call from Tom and West Seneca. Hello, Tom,

2293
01:51:23,600 --> 01:51:24,840
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. You're on the air with this

2294
01:51:25,400 --> 01:51:29,640
Speaker 1: John Steve, thanks for having me. Sure Andrew Luck, I

2295
01:51:29,760 --> 01:51:32,880
Speaker 1: think he did make the right decision. It appears to

2296
01:51:32,920 --> 01:51:37,200
Speaker 1: me like he's probably lost the will to play. And

2297
01:51:37,360 --> 01:51:42,000
Speaker 1: that being said, if he went out to play feeling

2298
01:51:42,080 --> 01:51:44,720
Speaker 1: that way, then I think he'd only be doing this

2299
01:51:44,880 --> 01:51:49,720
Speaker 1: service to himself, the fans, the players, and the organization.

2300
01:51:50,240 --> 01:51:53,639
Speaker 1: God gave us free will and he made the right decision.

2301
01:51:54,080 --> 01:51:57,200
Speaker 1: And I don't think that we've heard the last of

2302
01:51:58,360 --> 01:52:03,719
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck playing in the NFL again. And that being said,

2303
01:52:04,280 --> 01:52:08,320
Speaker 1: I've got to talk about my bills briefly. I am

2304
01:52:08,320 --> 01:52:14,439
Speaker 1: an addicted eternal optimus and I think that that being said,

2305
01:52:15,320 --> 01:52:20,519
Speaker 1: my optimism, My eternal optism has much more conviction this year.

2306
01:52:20,960 --> 01:52:23,960
Speaker 1: I think we'll make the playoffs and uh well, you

2307
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:27,639
Speaker 1: know after that, anything could happen. Thank you, guys, head,

2308
01:52:28,280 --> 01:52:32,120
Speaker 1: thank you. And Tom is right about that. If if

2309
01:52:32,160 --> 01:52:35,360
Speaker 1: he is not feeling it getting ready to play talking

2310
01:52:35,360 --> 01:52:38,400
Speaker 1: about Andrew Luck, then he should step aside. And as

2311
01:52:38,439 --> 01:52:41,240
Speaker 1: you know, Steve, you probably played with people who were

2312
01:52:41,280 --> 01:52:43,720
Speaker 1: thinking about retiring, not sure about how they felt, not

2313
01:52:43,840 --> 01:52:46,599
Speaker 1: sure about their commitment anymore. Am I willing to lay

2314
01:52:46,600 --> 01:52:48,880
Speaker 1: my body on the line? Right? You must play with

2315
01:52:48,880 --> 01:52:51,759
Speaker 1: guys who just kept going cash and checks. Right. Yeah,

2316
01:52:52,880 --> 01:52:55,680
Speaker 1: it's not something you trumpet. You know, you kind of

2317
01:52:55,760 --> 01:52:58,760
Speaker 1: keep it to yourself, but your body language says a lot.

2318
01:52:59,080 --> 01:53:01,120
Speaker 1: You become one of those guys. It's not playing hard,

2319
01:53:01,160 --> 01:53:03,680
Speaker 1: has a slow motor and all of that stuff. Um

2320
01:53:04,720 --> 01:53:06,760
Speaker 1: you probably think of guys that we've all seen play

2321
01:53:06,800 --> 01:53:10,920
Speaker 1: that you kind of suspected weren't into it. Um. Yeah,

2322
01:53:11,120 --> 01:53:15,240
Speaker 1: it's a hard thing to ask a player to lay

2323
01:53:15,280 --> 01:53:18,040
Speaker 1: it on the line physically and spiritually and emotionally and

2324
01:53:18,160 --> 01:53:21,720
Speaker 1: invest all this content of who you are into a

2325
01:53:21,800 --> 01:53:24,240
Speaker 1: game on a Sunday, Because that's what it takes. I mean,

2326
01:53:24,240 --> 01:53:27,400
Speaker 1: you've seen these guys, I mean they're you're all in you.

2327
01:53:27,479 --> 01:53:28,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you know you're going to go into a

2328
01:53:29,000 --> 01:53:33,719
Speaker 1: physical confrontation and it's and it and it requires you

2329
01:53:33,840 --> 01:53:38,160
Speaker 1: to invest that much emotional content and preparation and physical

2330
01:53:38,160 --> 01:53:42,080
Speaker 1: exertion into it and concentration. I mean, it just takes

2331
01:53:42,080 --> 01:53:44,160
Speaker 1: you one hundred percent of who and what you are

2332
01:53:44,680 --> 01:53:48,639
Speaker 1: into it. And to expect guys to invest that into

2333
01:53:48,680 --> 01:53:53,200
Speaker 1: it when they've checked out, they just it's just impossible.

2334
01:53:53,800 --> 01:53:56,080
Speaker 1: And it shows. It really shows. Now it doesn't show

2335
01:53:56,120 --> 01:53:58,439
Speaker 1: maybe to a casual observer, but guys in the locker room,

2336
01:53:58,560 --> 01:54:01,080
Speaker 1: guys looking around who know you who? You can't hide

2337
01:54:01,080 --> 01:54:05,200
Speaker 1: who you are in there. It comes, it shines. It's obvious.

2338
01:54:05,439 --> 01:54:09,280
Speaker 1: It's absolutely obvious, and it's unmistakable. So yeah, it happens.

2339
01:54:09,439 --> 01:54:12,160
Speaker 1: Here's Alan Clarence with a thought on Andrew Luck. I'll

2340
01:54:12,160 --> 01:54:14,160
Speaker 1: go ahead, welcome to the show, I tell you doing.

2341
01:54:14,240 --> 01:54:16,640
Speaker 1: I just can't believe the amount of I'm embarrassed, like

2342
01:54:16,680 --> 01:54:19,000
Speaker 1: builds Mafia for the amount of people that are just

2343
01:54:19,120 --> 01:54:22,200
Speaker 1: ripping on his kids. I'm one hundred percent disable veteran.

2344
01:54:22,320 --> 01:54:26,040
Speaker 1: Until you walk in somebody's shoes, don't judge. I mean,

2345
01:54:26,120 --> 01:54:28,439
Speaker 1: I just I can't get over it. I haven't heard

2346
01:54:28,439 --> 01:54:30,080
Speaker 1: people ripping on him too much. I mean, our Twitter

2347
01:54:30,120 --> 01:54:32,240
Speaker 1: poll is ninety three percent, say do what you gotta do.

2348
01:54:32,480 --> 01:54:34,320
Speaker 1: My kids went away to college this week and left

2349
01:54:34,440 --> 01:54:36,240
Speaker 1: at home alone with too much time on his hand.

2350
01:54:36,880 --> 01:54:38,800
Speaker 1: And I've been looking, you know, looking at the builds,

2351
01:54:38,840 --> 01:54:41,000
Speaker 1: mafia quotes, and people are ripping on his kid. And

2352
01:54:41,000 --> 01:54:44,480
Speaker 1: it's just I'm telling them to stop. It's just embarrassing

2353
01:54:44,600 --> 01:54:47,640
Speaker 1: because and people who don't understand it. When you have

2354
01:54:47,800 --> 01:54:51,840
Speaker 1: multiple physical injuries, it weighs on you mentally. It's a

2355
01:54:51,920 --> 01:54:56,120
Speaker 1: mental strain and it causes mental problems sometimes. Yeah, absolutely,

2356
01:54:56,200 --> 01:54:58,400
Speaker 1: you're you're right. I'll no question about it. And and

2357
01:54:58,760 --> 01:55:00,720
Speaker 1: I think most of the people this is and it's

2358
01:55:01,360 --> 01:55:03,000
Speaker 1: and I said it earlier in the show. When you

2359
01:55:03,000 --> 01:55:04,680
Speaker 1: buy a ticket and you're a fan, you know it

2360
01:55:04,720 --> 01:55:07,440
Speaker 1: gives you some rights that you can boo or cheer

2361
01:55:07,480 --> 01:55:09,600
Speaker 1: whoever you want for whatever reason you want. But you

2362
01:55:09,680 --> 01:55:11,800
Speaker 1: have to know that when you do certain things, you're

2363
01:55:11,800 --> 01:55:14,360
Speaker 1: gonna look like a jackass. And the fans who are

2364
01:55:14,440 --> 01:55:17,839
Speaker 1: ripping Andrew Luck for pulling the ripcord on his career

2365
01:55:18,520 --> 01:55:22,640
Speaker 1: whenever he wanted to are you're looking like a jackass.

2366
01:55:22,680 --> 01:55:25,560
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. The guy's got he's done, he won't doesn't

2367
01:55:25,560 --> 01:55:29,080
Speaker 1: want to play anymore. So whatever you can say about that,

2368
01:55:29,160 --> 01:55:33,760
Speaker 1: it's you know, it doesn't hold water. So you're you

2369
01:55:33,760 --> 01:55:36,000
Speaker 1: can say it, but the simple fact of the matter

2370
01:55:36,080 --> 01:55:37,880
Speaker 1: is it says more about you than it does about him.

2371

Speaker 1: with Bill's receiver, Cole Beasley. Yeah, chatted with Cole Beasley.

2394
01:56:50,160 --> 01:56:52,400
Speaker 1: He was great as always. He's always got a lot

2395
01:56:52,440 --> 01:56:55,280
Speaker 1: to say. He's a fun guy, nice guy. I'm happy

2396
01:56:55,800 --> 01:56:57,840
Speaker 1: that they have him in the wide receiver room this year.

2397
01:56:57,920 --> 01:57:00,920
Speaker 1: He's gonna theoretically, he's gonna change things a great deal

2398
01:57:00,960 --> 01:57:04,400
Speaker 1: for Josh. The game they had in Carolina was like,

2399
01:57:04,440 --> 01:57:06,680
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, wouldn't it be nice? Yeah, targets five

2400
01:57:07,040 --> 01:57:10,800
Speaker 1: five five things, forty four yards? He's great. That's where

2401
01:57:10,800 --> 01:57:13,200
Speaker 1: they need to be. So are we gonna go right

Speaker 1: to the glad bag? I think is this time? Go ahead?

2403
01:57:17,000 --> 01:57:20,560
Speaker 1: Your baby? All right? So Cole Cole sat down with us,

2404
01:57:20,600 --> 01:57:23,720
Speaker 1: not really sat down with us. He was standing after practice. Well,

2405
01:57:23,720 --> 01:57:26,400
Speaker 1: we had a few fans tweeting some questions, so let's

2412
01:57:50,600 --> 01:57:54,760
Speaker 1: coming along great, Um, you know, with the repetition of

2413
01:57:55,280 --> 01:57:58,400
Speaker 1: every day, it just continues to grow and get easier

2414

2418
01:58:10,600 --> 01:58:13,080

2419
01:58:13,080 --> 01:58:16,200
Speaker 1: another question for you. What kind of touchdown celebrations can

2420
01:58:16,240 --> 01:58:19,320
Speaker 1: we expect or are you keeping that from us? Now?

2421
01:58:20,280 --> 01:58:21,480
Speaker 1: Got to be in the moment or else it's not

2422
01:58:21,480 --> 01:58:24,840
Speaker 1: all are you planning them already in your head? I've

2423
01:58:24,880 --> 01:58:27,080
Speaker 1: been talking with a few of the guys, got a

2424
01:58:27,080 --> 01:58:29,120
Speaker 1: little something on my sleep, but I gotta get there first,

2425
01:58:29,120 --> 01:58:34,560
Speaker 1: So we're ahead of myself. We're excited for them. Um

2426
01:58:34,840 --> 01:58:38,120
Speaker 1: stip in the cool aid. What a twitter name? Wants

2427
01:58:38,160 --> 01:58:41,160
Speaker 1: to know? Do you rap in the locker room for

2428
01:58:41,280 --> 01:58:46,000
Speaker 1: the team? I've rapped for one person. That's it. Who

2429
01:58:46,080 --> 01:58:49,920
Speaker 1: is that person? Okay, it's a secret. Maybe Josh Allen. No,

2430
01:58:52,160 --> 01:58:58,560
Speaker 1: we will never know what them since his name Niche. Okay,

2431
01:58:58,720 --> 01:59:02,280
Speaker 1: all right, well we'll move on. Okay, last question, John

2432
01:59:02,320 --> 01:59:05,600
Speaker 1: wants to know. This is a random question. If tomatoes

2433
01:59:05,640 --> 01:59:08,800
Speaker 1: are actually a fruit, then wouldn't catch up be considered

2434
01:59:09,040 --> 01:59:13,320
Speaker 1: a smoothie. I didn't even know tomatoes were considered a fruit. Well,

2435
01:59:13,680 --> 01:59:17,040
Speaker 1: he learned something new every day, gained some more knowledge

2436
01:59:17,040 --> 01:59:19,880
Speaker 1: on nutrition. It's okay, it's kind of part of mine.

2437
01:59:19,880 --> 01:59:22,040
Speaker 1: You're kind you're kind of busy. I was eating ice

2438
01:59:22,040 --> 01:59:25,160
Speaker 1: cream over here a while ago. You were learn something

2439
01:59:25,160 --> 01:59:28,440
Speaker 1: new every day, Cole, Thank you, thank you. I guess

2440
01:59:28,480 --> 01:59:32,000
Speaker 1: it would be consider a smoothie. No, it's kind of

2441
01:59:32,000 --> 01:59:34,360
Speaker 1: weird to think about. I don't know. I wouldn't want

2442
01:59:34,360 --> 01:59:40,080
Speaker 1: a tomato smooth smoothie in a bottle? Yeah, nasty, John,

2443
01:59:40,360 --> 01:59:45,280
Speaker 1: nice question. So that was glad bag this week. Where

2444
01:59:45,280 --> 01:59:47,720
Speaker 1: do you get your questions? Well, we tweeted out and

2445
01:59:48,000 --> 01:59:52,160
Speaker 1: people reply. So we had a few people comment questions

2446
01:59:52,280 --> 01:59:54,840
Speaker 1: this week, but you can I always use more. So

2447
01:59:55,000 --> 01:59:57,280
Speaker 1: come on, guys, that is a great question. That's a

2448
01:59:57,280 --> 01:59:59,880
Speaker 1: great point. Tomatoes are a fruit and if you catch

2449
02:00:00,160 --> 02:00:02,080
Speaker 1: would be a smoothie. Yeah, it was when you think

2450
02:00:02,120 --> 02:00:04,200
Speaker 1: about it, those are some of those mind blowing questions

2451
02:00:04,200 --> 02:00:06,360
Speaker 1: when you're like, wait, what I'm gonna I have to

2452
02:00:06,400 --> 02:00:09,320
Speaker 1: think about that. I'm maybe dead for the show right now.

2453
02:00:09,360 --> 02:00:10,920
Speaker 1: I can't go on till I figure out. It was

2454
02:00:10,920 --> 02:00:13,840
Speaker 1: funny about the interview. Initially Cole Beasley sounded and looked

2455
02:00:13,880 --> 02:00:15,920
Speaker 1: like he was didn't really want to be there. By

2456
02:00:15,920 --> 02:00:17,120
Speaker 1: the end of it, you couldn't get rid of the

2457
02:00:17,760 --> 02:00:25,440
Speaker 1: exactly you know what I mean? Yeah, I know right.

2458
02:00:25,800 --> 02:00:28,000
Speaker 1: Your next job is to find out who that lineman

2459
02:00:28,080 --> 02:00:31,080
Speaker 1: was that he rapped to. I know, I'll start doing

2460
02:00:31,120 --> 02:00:33,800
Speaker 1: some investigative work. It's got to be somebody who can

2461
02:00:33,880 --> 02:00:36,160
Speaker 1: you guys listen to him? No, I've listened to any

2462
02:00:36,160 --> 02:00:39,280
Speaker 1: of the songs. He's pretty good. Yeah. Maddi Glavis with

2463
02:00:39,360 --> 02:00:42,440
Speaker 1: US multimedia journalists for Buffalo Bills dot com and for

2464
02:00:42,600 --> 02:00:45,040
Speaker 1: all the social media sites for the Bills. Um, what

2465
02:00:45,080 --> 02:00:47,440
Speaker 1: do you think of the game Friday Detroit. I thought

2466
02:00:47,600 --> 02:00:49,560
Speaker 1: there were good parts. There were some other parts I

2467
02:00:49,560 --> 02:00:52,480
Speaker 1: think that I would have rather not seen, but hey,

2468
02:00:52,640 --> 02:00:56,000
Speaker 1: we've got one more week of preseason slow start. Yeah,

2469
02:00:56,040 --> 02:00:57,880
Speaker 1: and the Bills were trying to run the football. I

2470
02:00:57,920 --> 02:00:59,840
Speaker 1: mean it's not like they were running even their place.

2471
02:01:00,040 --> 02:01:03,040
Speaker 1: Election was like, you know, what are you doing so

2472
02:01:03,440 --> 02:01:06,000
Speaker 1: which you could have guessed. I mean coach McDermott said,

2473
02:01:06,080 --> 02:01:08,760
Speaker 1: Lashawn and Frank, we're going to play more. So going

2474
02:01:08,800 --> 02:01:10,560
Speaker 1: into the game, I kind of thought that they were

2475
02:01:10,560 --> 02:01:12,040
Speaker 1: going to run the ball a lot more than they

2476
02:01:12,400 --> 02:01:15,080
Speaker 1: had done the last two weeks. Was a past happy

2477
02:01:15,200 --> 02:01:18,280
Speaker 1: offense that coach day Ball put on display there. I

2478
02:01:18,400 --> 02:01:20,440
Speaker 1: was fair I was fairly satisfied with where the run

2479
02:01:20,480 --> 02:01:23,640
Speaker 1: game looked. What about you, I thought it worked well.

2480
02:01:23,760 --> 02:01:26,240
Speaker 1: I mean, especially with the offensive lineman we have in

2481
02:01:26,240 --> 02:01:28,680
Speaker 1: place right now. Right we're still dealing with who are

2482
02:01:28,720 --> 02:01:31,880
Speaker 1: the best five. Mitch Morse is not in a red

2483
02:01:31,960 --> 02:01:34,800
Speaker 1: jersey anymore. He's practicing, but he's still in concussion protocol,

2484
02:01:34,840 --> 02:01:38,040
Speaker 1: so that still has yet to figure itself out. In

2485
02:01:38,640 --> 02:01:41,160
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks away from the first game, hopefully

2486
02:01:41,200 --> 02:01:43,720
Speaker 1: he's ready to go, but if not, I'm glad they're

2487
02:01:43,760 --> 02:01:46,200
Speaker 1: going through all these combinations. Yeah, we're getting to look

2488
02:01:46,200 --> 02:01:47,640
Speaker 1: at him. Hey, I wanted to bring up something with

2489
02:01:47,680 --> 02:01:50,080
Speaker 1: Steven and you, Manny, now that you here about Matt.

2490
02:01:50,080 --> 02:01:52,520
Speaker 1: Barkley said this just a minute ago. He was on

2491
02:01:52,520 --> 02:01:54,680
Speaker 1: the show with us and I asked him about, you know,

2492
02:01:55,160 --> 02:01:57,880
Speaker 1: being the backup and the mindset of a backup quarterback. First,

2493
02:01:57,880 --> 02:02:00,000
Speaker 1: he said, well, I try not to have the mindset,

2494
02:01:59,840 --> 02:02:02,680
Speaker 1: but he talked about leadership as a backup quarterback, and

2495
02:02:02,720 --> 02:02:05,040
Speaker 1: that got me. I thought, that's exactly the type of

2496
02:02:05,040 --> 02:02:07,640
Speaker 1: player that McDermott and being and this team wants to have,

2497
02:02:08,040 --> 02:02:10,560
Speaker 1: whether you're a backup or a starter, to be a leader,

2498
02:02:10,560 --> 02:02:12,240
Speaker 1: to show people, you know, this is why we how

2499
02:02:12,280 --> 02:02:13,520
Speaker 1: we work, this is what we do. I thought that

2500
02:02:13,560 --> 02:02:15,880
Speaker 1: was a really good answer exactly. I talked to Matt

2501
02:02:15,960 --> 02:02:18,760
Speaker 1: earlier in the year about that as well, just what

2502
02:02:18,920 --> 02:02:23,000
Speaker 1: it's like to be someone for Josh to go to,

2503
02:02:23,000 --> 02:02:25,840
Speaker 1: to be a soundboard for Josh. And I think it's

2504
02:02:25,880 --> 02:02:27,880
Speaker 1: great that he's on this team and can play that

2505
02:02:27,960 --> 02:02:31,480
Speaker 1: role for Josh. A younger quarterback, Matt's been in the league.

2506
02:02:31,560 --> 02:02:34,360
Speaker 1: He knows the game um even though he's newer to

2507
02:02:34,400 --> 02:02:37,400
Speaker 1: the Bills. I think it's it's great that that he's

2508
02:02:37,480 --> 02:02:39,800
Speaker 1: here and those two have each other. I think it

2509
02:02:39,840 --> 02:02:42,840
Speaker 1: can only help. And he's had some great practices and

2510
02:02:42,960 --> 02:02:47,600
Speaker 1: great performances in preseason two. Yeah, I think too. It's

2511
02:02:48,160 --> 02:02:51,160
Speaker 1: we talked about depth on the defensive line all they've

2512
02:02:51,160 --> 02:02:53,160
Speaker 1: got some pretty good depth at quarterback right now too.

2513
02:02:53,200 --> 02:02:56,400
Speaker 1: I think Matt Barkley is a guy who I reminded

2514
02:02:56,480 --> 02:02:59,800
Speaker 1: him twelve or twelve days after they signed him. He's

2515
02:03:00,200 --> 02:03:01,880
Speaker 1: a game for the Bills and beat a division rival

2516
02:03:01,920 --> 02:03:04,720
Speaker 1: on the road. That's a pretty good start to his

2517
02:03:04,800 --> 02:03:07,200
Speaker 1: career here. Yeah, he has no joke of a quarterback.

2518
02:03:07,240 --> 02:03:10,080
Speaker 1: That's a great number two that you have in your room.

2519
02:03:10,400 --> 02:03:11,920
Speaker 1: Hey man, you've been around now the Bills for what

2520
02:03:12,080 --> 02:03:14,320
Speaker 1: six weeks? Two months almost right, A couple of months,

2521
02:03:14,200 --> 02:03:16,600
Speaker 1: a month, month and a half. Maybe your take? Do

2522
02:03:16,720 --> 02:03:19,440
Speaker 1: you detect people warming up to the season already? I mean,

2523
02:03:19,440 --> 02:03:21,360
Speaker 1: if the temperature is cooled down and the Bills get

2524
02:03:21,360 --> 02:03:24,320
Speaker 1: closer to the regular season you've moved to Buffalo, you

2525
02:03:24,320 --> 02:03:26,440
Speaker 1: can probably sense it. I smell I smell it in

2526
02:03:26,480 --> 02:03:28,600
Speaker 1: the air, and I'm ready. It's to the point where

2527
02:03:28,640 --> 02:03:30,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, I just want this season to start. I'm

2528
02:03:30,960 --> 02:03:33,600
Speaker 1: done with practices. I want the games. I want to go.

2529
02:03:33,960 --> 02:03:36,640
Speaker 1: I'm too excited. I know you got to come. Still,

2530
02:03:36,640 --> 02:03:38,680
Speaker 1: it's till a month till they're a home opener. That

2531
02:03:39,600 --> 02:03:42,280
Speaker 1: three weeks for that, four weeks for that. So it's

2532
02:03:42,280 --> 02:03:44,800
Speaker 1: a long time. Those road games count two, they do count,

2533
02:03:44,800 --> 02:03:48,160
Speaker 1: but there ain't home ain't home opener. Those are a

2534
02:03:48,200 --> 02:03:52,120
Speaker 1: different animal. They're they're one. Home openers are home game, yes,

2535
02:03:52,160 --> 02:03:54,600
Speaker 1: but they are one of a kind. Home games they're awesome. Yeah,

2536
02:03:54,760 --> 02:03:57,560
Speaker 1: and think about maybe the chance to come home to

2537
02:03:57,800 --> 02:04:01,840
Speaker 1: know that thou incredible. Yep, Hey, Mandy, stick around. We're

2538
02:04:01,840 --> 02:04:03,880
Speaker 1: gonna do right now. NFL two or false brought to

2539
02:04:03,880 --> 02:04:06,040
Speaker 1: you by Yancey's, Fancy New York's artists and cheese. We

2540
02:04:06,080 --> 02:04:07,560
Speaker 1: haven't done this in a while, Steve, you remember how

2541
02:04:07,600 --> 02:04:09,960
Speaker 1: it works. I do, I do. Maddie, you're gonna You're

2542
02:04:09,960 --> 02:04:11,920
Speaker 1: gonna take part. Don't be afraid. I'm gonna take part.

2543
02:04:12,400 --> 02:04:16,000
Speaker 1: Tis gonna be fine. Pure or false. The Colts are

2544
02:04:16,040 --> 02:04:19,800
Speaker 1: still a Super Bowl contender under Jacoby Brissette. Who wants

2545
02:04:19,800 --> 02:04:22,400
Speaker 1: to go first. I'll go first, Okay, I'll say yeah.

2546
02:04:22,440 --> 02:04:25,960
Speaker 1: Everybody's zero and zero now Jacoby Brissette has been a

2547
02:04:26,040 --> 02:04:27,960
Speaker 1: start in the league. Now, they got a good team.

2548
02:04:28,240 --> 02:04:31,160
Speaker 1: I don't think there's no question. They're better, more of

2549
02:04:31,200 --> 02:04:33,760
Speaker 1: a contender than that with all or Andrew Luck than

2550
02:04:33,800 --> 02:04:37,200
Speaker 1: they were with or with Jacoby Brissette. But I got

2551
02:04:37,200 --> 02:04:38,720
Speaker 1: a lot of faith in their head coach. I got

2552
02:04:38,720 --> 02:04:40,640
Speaker 1: a lot of faith in their defense. It's very good.

2553
02:04:40,920 --> 02:04:42,960
Speaker 1: Their offensive line is still the best in the league.

2554
02:04:43,200 --> 02:04:44,800
Speaker 1: Their running game is going to be a better part

2555
02:04:44,840 --> 02:04:48,320
Speaker 1: of it. Jacob. They can win, They can contend for

2556
02:04:48,400 --> 02:04:51,040
Speaker 1: that super Bowl because of the quality of roster they've

2557
02:04:51,080 --> 02:04:54,360
Speaker 1: put together. But let's be real, Andrew Luck gives them

2558
02:04:54,400 --> 02:04:56,800
Speaker 1: a better chance than Jacoby Brissette. That's all I'm saying.

2559
02:04:57,000 --> 02:04:59,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl contender, Maddie, You're gonna get to break the

2560
02:04:59,000 --> 02:05:01,240
Speaker 1: tie here because I'm gonna go next and say false. No,

2561
02:05:01,280 --> 02:05:04,600
Speaker 1: they don't come on Jacoby Brissette. No, he's okay, he's

2562
02:05:05,040 --> 02:05:08,120
Speaker 1: more than capable backup. But um, look, they're in that

2563
02:05:08,240 --> 02:05:11,640
Speaker 1: muddled division two right the AFC South, where it's basically

2564
02:05:11,720 --> 02:05:15,680
Speaker 1: anybody's especially now anybody's division to win. But and they

2565
02:05:15,760 --> 02:05:17,640
Speaker 1: might win the division, but they're not a super Bowl

2566
02:05:17,680 --> 02:05:21,440
Speaker 1: contender with Jacoby Brissette. No, that's false, absolutely false. Maddie,

2567
02:05:21,440 --> 02:05:24,920
Speaker 1: break the tie. I am going to agree with humor,

2568
02:05:25,120 --> 02:05:28,080
Speaker 1: thank you. I don't think so. I mean, Brissette's good quarterback,

2569
02:05:28,120 --> 02:05:30,520
Speaker 1: You've got a good offensive line, you have some good playmakers.

2570
02:05:30,560 --> 02:05:32,720
Speaker 1: But what Andrew Luck would have been able to do

2571
02:05:32,760 --> 02:05:36,000
Speaker 1: with that team this season if he was healthy? I

2572
02:05:36,080 --> 02:05:43,040
Speaker 1: think whatever? A quarterback again, right question. Don't feel sorry

2573
02:05:43,040 --> 02:05:45,320
Speaker 1: for him, by the way, I mean they had Peyton

2574
02:05:45,360 --> 02:05:47,320
Speaker 1: Manning and then they kind of walked. They had one

2575
02:05:47,440 --> 02:05:49,360
Speaker 1: year right in between them, and they walked right into

2576
02:05:49,400 --> 02:05:52,960
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck. And finally, sorry for those guys, don't I like?

2577
02:05:53,080 --> 02:05:54,920
Speaker 1: I like my boy Frank Reig, but now I love

2578
02:05:55,000 --> 02:05:57,240
Speaker 1: sorry for you, bro. No, no, they'll be all right. Yeah,

2579
02:05:57,600 --> 02:06:00,280
Speaker 1: uh NFL true or false? Part two? And you see

2580
02:06:00,320 --> 02:06:04,480
Speaker 1: his new Sunday Night football camera is a bad idea?

2581
02:06:04,840 --> 02:06:06,240
Speaker 1: You want to go first time that? Did you see it?

2582
02:06:06,320 --> 02:06:10,320
Speaker 1: The skycam? Yeah? The skycam? Okay, I like it because

2583
02:06:10,400 --> 02:06:13,000
Speaker 1: I like that you can see more than just the

2584
02:06:13,080 --> 02:06:16,800
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. And I like plays where I just

2585
02:06:16,840 --> 02:06:20,280
Speaker 1: like seeing how plays break down, how plays unfold. It's

2586
02:06:20,280 --> 02:06:24,760
Speaker 1: almost you get eleven personnel. You can see both whatever

2587
02:06:24,840 --> 02:06:27,320
Speaker 1: personnel there and I'm sorry, but you can see all

2588
02:06:27,320 --> 02:06:29,800
Speaker 1: eleven people on the field, and I enjoy that because

2589
02:06:29,800 --> 02:06:32,320
Speaker 1: then you can see matchups. You can see more than

2590
02:06:32,360 --> 02:06:35,800
Speaker 1: just the line of scrimmage. And for me, I'll say

2591
02:06:35,840 --> 02:06:39,000
Speaker 1: the same thing. I like it's it's a little bit unique,

2592
02:06:39,000 --> 02:06:41,280
Speaker 1: no question. Sometimes you feel like you're a long way away.

2593
02:06:41,400 --> 02:06:45,400
Speaker 1: You can't see the ball as well. The camera doesn't focus,

2594
02:06:45,440 --> 02:06:47,480
Speaker 1: like when he throws it down the field. It's hard

2595
02:06:47,480 --> 02:06:49,640
Speaker 1: to pick up the ball in the air. But you

2596
02:06:49,680 --> 02:06:53,160
Speaker 1: can certainly see the players way better. You can see

2597
02:06:53,280 --> 02:06:56,600
Speaker 1: bigger concepts than you can when you're watching the old

2598
02:06:56,640 --> 02:06:59,840
Speaker 1: fashioned way. Then pit framing they call it, or from

2599
02:07:00,040 --> 02:07:04,400
Speaker 1: low end zone or whatever. You do, catch the concept

2600
02:07:04,480 --> 02:07:07,960
Speaker 1: of what the coaches have installed and watch everybody work together.

2601
02:07:08,200 --> 02:07:10,760
Speaker 1: And that's a that's a new and new and intriguing

2602
02:07:10,760 --> 02:07:13,000
Speaker 1: for me. So I like it. You know, I'll make

2603
02:07:13,040 --> 02:07:15,360
Speaker 1: it unanimous. It's it's not a bad idea. It's a

2604
02:07:15,360 --> 02:07:20,120
Speaker 1: good idea with one caveat. Don't just use it exclusively. Right,

2605
02:07:20,120 --> 02:07:21,760
Speaker 1: And I did not, I confess I did not watch

2606
02:07:21,840 --> 02:07:24,000
Speaker 1: last night. But they mixed in other shots, right, that

2607
02:07:24,080 --> 02:07:26,400
Speaker 1: wasn't the only shot. Yeah, the replays were normal right,

2608
02:07:26,480 --> 02:07:28,400
Speaker 1: you got a chance to see the detail and fine

2609
02:07:28,480 --> 02:07:30,760
Speaker 1: detail of it. But I'm with you. I think like you,

2610
02:07:30,800 --> 02:07:33,640
Speaker 1: I think they should pick their spots more on running downs,

2611
02:07:33,680 --> 02:07:36,040
Speaker 1: maybe keep the old fashioned way, but on passing downs

2612
02:07:36,040 --> 02:07:37,560
Speaker 1: when you want to see what's going on, you know,

2613
02:07:37,560 --> 02:07:40,280
Speaker 1: on a third and long, maybe take a chance and

2614
02:07:40,360 --> 02:07:41,960
Speaker 1: you know, back it off so you can see those

2615
02:07:42,000 --> 02:07:44,000
Speaker 1: things take place. I think it's a great idea, And

2616
02:07:44,040 --> 02:07:46,880
Speaker 1: you're right. I don't like the same shot all the

2617
02:07:46,920 --> 02:07:50,120
Speaker 1: time anyway, and I but I like it. And part

2618
02:07:50,120 --> 02:07:52,520
Speaker 1: of what what's going on here is that they have time,

2619
02:07:52,640 --> 02:07:54,560
Speaker 1: you know, because the game moves at a certain pace,

2620
02:07:54,800 --> 02:07:56,600
Speaker 1: they have time to show you the play and then

2621
02:07:56,640 --> 02:07:59,360
Speaker 1: a replay and then a replay, sometimes three replays of

2622
02:07:59,440 --> 02:08:02,040
Speaker 1: the same play, which is something about the game itself.

2623
02:08:02,040 --> 02:08:04,440
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it flies better on a

2624
02:08:04,680 --> 02:08:08,440
Speaker 1: like a Thursday night football, Sunday night football, Monday night football,

2625
02:08:08,440 --> 02:08:12,560
Speaker 1: because they've got twenty eight cameras, right, so they've got

2626
02:08:12,600 --> 02:08:14,600
Speaker 1: the ISO cameras. They can go back and look at

2627
02:08:14,680 --> 02:08:16,960
Speaker 1: each individual playing where the ball goes. They'll have a

2628
02:08:17,000 --> 02:08:21,240
Speaker 1: camera on it for the replay for a regular game,

2629
02:08:21,280 --> 02:08:25,720
Speaker 1: a regular regional game where they have like eight cameras. Yeah,

2630
02:08:25,760 --> 02:08:26,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if I want to

2631
02:08:26,840 --> 02:08:30,120
Speaker 1: waste a camera getting that shot, you know, but sense

2632
02:08:30,640 --> 02:08:33,440
Speaker 1: I agree, it's and it's crazy to think. Also, how

2633
02:08:33,440 --> 02:08:35,920
Speaker 1: many new camera angles they're coming out with us every year.

2634
02:08:36,240 --> 02:08:38,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you have the ref cam on the top

2635
02:08:38,320 --> 02:08:42,000
Speaker 1: of the ref's hat, you have the tylon. Yeah, it's

2636
02:08:42,040 --> 02:08:44,920
Speaker 1: like every year they're coming up with something new. Even

2637
02:08:44,920 --> 02:08:47,480
Speaker 1: if you want to not watch NFL football, they compel

2638
02:08:47,520 --> 02:08:49,480
Speaker 1: you to watch. You know what I mean, you try

2639
02:08:49,640 --> 02:08:52,720
Speaker 1: trying not to watch this game, you can't have to.

2640
02:08:52,920 --> 02:08:54,200
Speaker 1: What are you got coming up the rest of the week.

2641
02:08:54,240 --> 02:08:56,320
Speaker 1: What are you working on? I'm working on a Duke

2642
02:08:56,360 --> 02:08:58,720
Speaker 1: Williams feature right now, so that will be ready to

2643
02:08:58,760 --> 02:09:01,840
Speaker 1: go before the game on Thursday. Got a couple of

2644
02:09:01,880 --> 02:09:05,000
Speaker 1: interviews going on, so it's starting to get busy. I'm

2645
02:09:05,040 --> 02:09:09,600
Speaker 1: liking it. Yeah. Yeah, we're shifting gears, Murph. Yeah, we

2646
02:09:09,600 --> 02:09:11,360
Speaker 1: were saying we are getting close now. You can you

2647
02:09:11,360 --> 02:09:14,120
Speaker 1: can feel the regular season coming up. Anyways, let's hear

2648
02:09:14,200 --> 02:09:16,200
Speaker 1: more often. Come on by whenever you're you know, we're

2649
02:09:16,200 --> 02:09:20,000
Speaker 1: always here. He door right over there is always open,

2650
02:09:20,520 --> 02:09:23,560
Speaker 1: even though it's always closed, it's closed figuratively. It's always

2651
02:09:23,560 --> 02:09:27,440
Speaker 1: open for you. Thanks you guys, Andy glab from from

2652
02:09:27,480 --> 02:09:29,200
Speaker 1: our team now and of course as you've been around

2653
02:09:29,200 --> 02:09:30,400
Speaker 1: for a couple of months, happ day have her with

2654
02:09:30,400 --> 02:09:31,920
Speaker 1: a Steve and I coming back to wrap things up

2655
02:09:31,960 --> 02:09:34,480
Speaker 1: at a moment One Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive

2656
02:09:34,520 --> 02:09:53,080
Speaker 1: on Buffalo Bill's Radio. Okay, what have we learned from

2657
02:09:53,080 --> 02:09:55,240
Speaker 1: today's show? That's the question on the table. Let's figure

2658
02:09:55,240 --> 02:09:56,720
Speaker 1: it out. What did we learn? I learned a lot

2659
02:09:56,760 --> 02:09:58,800
Speaker 1: from today's show and I'm happy to share it with

2660
02:09:58,800 --> 02:09:59,960
Speaker 1: you as soon as I get to the right place

2661
02:10:00,120 --> 02:10:02,360
Speaker 1: in the rundown here. We had good guests today, including

2662
02:10:02,400 --> 02:10:04,600
Speaker 1: Maddy Glad who just left. Happy to have her with

2663
02:10:04,800 --> 02:10:07,120
Speaker 1: us on the show today, Chris Brown earlier as well,

2664
02:10:07,280 --> 02:10:09,360
Speaker 1: we had great co sell on the show of us today.

2665
02:10:10,000 --> 02:10:12,840
Speaker 1: From NFL matchup on the ESPN. You talked about how

2666
02:10:12,840 --> 02:10:15,760
Speaker 1: well the Bills looked running the ball against the Lions

2667
02:10:15,880 --> 02:10:19,600
Speaker 1: last Friday night. Well, I think we're all said and done.

2668
02:10:19,600 --> 02:10:22,400
Speaker 1: They would really like her run the ball. And again,

2669
02:10:22,440 --> 02:10:24,600
Speaker 1: you can say that theoretically about any team they want

2670
02:10:24,600 --> 02:10:26,800
Speaker 1: to run. But I think they have a lot of

2671
02:10:26,880 --> 02:10:29,360
Speaker 1: good backs, and they might have backs who are at

2672
02:10:29,360 --> 02:10:31,560
Speaker 1: the point in their career where maybe one back can't

2673
02:10:31,560 --> 02:10:34,520
Speaker 1: carry two hundred and eighty times, like McCoy probably could

2674
02:10:34,520 --> 02:10:37,200
Speaker 1: have a couple of years ago. So you know, with Gore,

2675
02:10:37,360 --> 02:10:39,920
Speaker 1: with McCoy, I guess we'll find out. My guess is

2676
02:10:40,000 --> 02:10:43,400
Speaker 1: Singletary's not getting cut, So they do have a number

2677
02:10:43,400 --> 02:10:45,800
Speaker 1: of backs. I think they'd like the run game to

2678
02:10:45,840 --> 02:10:49,000
Speaker 1: be a driving force of their offense. You know, one

2679
02:10:49,000 --> 02:10:51,760
Speaker 1: thing that really stood out to me, and I assume

2680
02:10:51,920 --> 02:10:54,880
Speaker 1: that the offensive lion other than the center, assuming Morse

2681
02:10:54,960 --> 02:10:58,360
Speaker 1: gets back healthy, was pretty much what it'll be week one.

2682
02:10:58,680 --> 02:11:00,600
Speaker 1: But I thought the right tackle board in the right

2683
02:11:00,640 --> 02:11:03,840
Speaker 1: guard long. They were featured as double team blockers on

2684
02:11:04,000 --> 02:11:06,040
Speaker 1: quite a few plays, and I thought they really did

2685
02:11:06,120 --> 02:11:09,520
Speaker 1: an excellent job. Great co Sell's observations on the Bill's

2686
02:11:09,560 --> 02:11:12,520
Speaker 1: performance in Detroit the other night and Brian Baldinger on

2687
02:11:12,600 --> 02:11:15,560
Speaker 1: the show from Fox Sports and NFL Network, and Brian

2688
02:11:15,600 --> 02:11:19,240
Speaker 1: Baldinger had some thoughts on Andrew Lux's surprise decision Saturday

2689
02:11:19,280 --> 02:11:22,480
Speaker 1: to retire from the NFL. Here's what he said. I'm

2690
02:11:22,520 --> 02:11:25,240
Speaker 1: always shocked I played with the Colts. I was shocked

2691
02:11:25,240 --> 02:11:29,360
Speaker 1: at that he made that announcement. When he did I

2692
02:11:29,520 --> 02:11:32,160
Speaker 1: was with him this year at the co Ball film

2693
02:11:32,200 --> 02:11:35,200
Speaker 1: session with him, and you know, the one thing that

2694
02:11:35,280 --> 02:11:37,240
Speaker 1: came out of that film session outside of just his

2695
02:11:37,680 --> 02:11:40,640
Speaker 1: great insight for the game, was his love of the

2696
02:11:40,720 --> 02:11:43,960
Speaker 1: game and how it was renewed, just a renewed love

2697
02:11:44,000 --> 02:11:48,360
Speaker 1: after two mostly you know, injured, injury marked seasons that

2698
02:11:48,440 --> 02:11:50,400
Speaker 1: he went through, and how fun it was just to

2699
02:11:50,440 --> 02:11:53,360
Speaker 1: get back and playing, and how much fun he had

2700
02:11:53,440 --> 02:11:55,160
Speaker 1: last year. You know, he had one of his great

2701
02:11:55,240 --> 02:11:57,560
Speaker 1: years through thirty nine touchdown passes, you know, what a

2702
02:11:57,560 --> 02:12:00,800
Speaker 1: playoff game, and he was really really good. But you know,

2703
02:12:00,880 --> 02:12:04,520
Speaker 1: these injuries have taken his toll. On Brian Balding your

2704
02:12:04,600 --> 02:12:06,800
Speaker 1: thoughts on Andrew Luck's decision. We took a lot of

2705
02:12:06,840 --> 02:12:08,440
Speaker 1: tweets on this. We didn't read him on the tweets

2706
02:12:08,440 --> 02:12:10,800
Speaker 1: you but there's two I want to highlight. See one

2707
02:12:10,840 --> 02:12:13,080
Speaker 1: from Brian. Did Andrew Luck do the right thing? And

2708
02:12:13,120 --> 02:12:15,800
Speaker 1: walking away? Brian tweets in it's his life and body,

2709
02:12:15,840 --> 02:12:18,880
Speaker 1: so ultimately it is his call. If he's tired and

2710
02:12:18,960 --> 02:12:21,280
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the desire he used to, retiring was

2711
02:12:21,320 --> 02:12:23,920
Speaker 1: the right move. I get the criticism from fans that

2712
02:12:24,000 --> 02:12:25,760
Speaker 1: feel jilted, the cults were expected to be in the

2713
02:12:25,800 --> 02:12:28,160
Speaker 1: playoffs but now are in limbo. But it's his choice,

2714
02:12:28,160 --> 02:12:30,160
Speaker 1: A good one and another good one, this one from Seth.

2715
02:12:30,560 --> 02:12:33,160
Speaker 1: I think maybe the other side of its Seth tweets in,

2716
02:12:33,520 --> 02:12:35,200
Speaker 1: I think it would have been much more well received

2717
02:12:35,240 --> 02:12:37,000
Speaker 1: if you made the announcement a month ago. Have some

2718
02:12:37,120 --> 02:12:40,520
Speaker 1: respect for the organization and fans. Dude literally just throughout

2719
02:12:40,520 --> 02:12:42,880
Speaker 1: a two week's notice, like he works at office depot

2720
02:12:42,960 --> 02:12:45,480
Speaker 1: or something. But it's a it's a fair point, you know,

2721
02:12:45,480 --> 02:12:47,720
Speaker 1: And yeah, you can say you don't time your injuries

2722
02:12:47,800 --> 02:12:50,560
Speaker 1: or your injury announcements, but it puts the Colts in

2723
02:12:50,600 --> 02:12:52,440
Speaker 1: a difficult spot. This ship. It does no question to

2724
02:12:52,920 --> 02:12:56,440
Speaker 1: notice that office right, he's game there two weeks. It's

2725
02:12:56,480 --> 02:13:01,280
Speaker 1: amazing because it's it's true, no question, it's it's his decision.

2726
02:13:01,680 --> 02:13:05,000
Speaker 1: The timing is a crusher because it is a seasonal

2727
02:13:05,120 --> 02:13:08,040
Speaker 1: industry and there are parts of the season where it's

2728
02:13:08,080 --> 02:13:10,280
Speaker 1: critical to have all your pieces in place, and to

2729
02:13:10,360 --> 02:13:14,040
Speaker 1: lose a critical piece at this moment is really rough

2730
02:13:14,160 --> 02:13:17,440
Speaker 1: on that club. Five months ago, they had a bunch

2731
02:13:17,480 --> 02:13:20,080
Speaker 1: of draft picks and a lot of money to spend

2732
02:13:20,080 --> 02:13:23,160
Speaker 1: in free agency, and they could have smoothed this over

2733
02:13:23,320 --> 02:13:25,760
Speaker 1: in some way, shape or form. Now they don't have

2734
02:13:25,800 --> 02:13:28,360
Speaker 1: the opportunity to do that, and that's rough. But like

2735
02:13:28,400 --> 02:13:32,000
Speaker 1: I said, Andrew Luck didn't schedule this injury. Nope. Interesting.

2736
02:13:32,160 --> 02:13:34,000
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about this this week. Thanks to those

2737
02:13:34,040 --> 02:13:36,160
Speaker 1: of you who sending tweets are called on this topic.

2738
02:13:36,400 --> 02:13:37,720
Speaker 1: And of course we got a busy week with the

2739
02:13:37,720 --> 02:13:39,960
Speaker 1: game coming up on Thursday night, the Bills and the

2740
02:13:39,960 --> 02:13:43,360
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings on Thursday. Our production assistants from George Blast,

2741

2742
02:13:46,840 --> 02:13:49,560
Speaker 1: Kevin Cargis, James Rollo, our producer Jay Harris. You good,

2743
02:13:49,920 --> 02:13:53,240

2744

2745
02:13:56,080 --> 02:13:58,280
Speaker 1: a lot of health from One Bill's Drive. And this

2746
02:13:58,440 --> 02:14:04,320
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radios to reson
