Speaker 1: about getting together, it's always with some pops. Do you

29
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:35,320

Speaker 1: I don't know. I have a lot of problems, but

33
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: not I don't think a drinking problem is one of them.

34
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. One of my problems today, and

35
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: I don't have many. I'm not complaining, is that I'm

36
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: tired and that nine o'clock tip off, which is really

37
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: and I look last night, ten after nine, it's too

38
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: late for huh. It's a squasher. It kills me and

39
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: I want to watch these games. I'm always a fan

40
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: of the NBA playoffs, not so during the regular season,

41
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: and the finals are usually great. They have been. I

42
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: love the Golden State Warriors. I have since they emerged

43
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: on the scene, what's six or seven years ago. It's

44
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: a great team, but it's hard. It gets late, you know.

45
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: I get up and i'm you know, commercial breaks, halftime

46
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: and what's in the refrigerator? Get up? Walk around? Oh oh,

47
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: it just went to the bathroom. I don't have you

48
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: going out right. My wife gives up first quarter right

49
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: nine thirty or so, I don't blame her. I want

50
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: to watch the NBA Finals, but it's it's kind of late.

51
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: Pop popcorn, you know, and I'll sit down because listen,

52
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: I thought about popcorn last night. I didn't do it.

53
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: I will eat popcorn by the boatload. Yeah, I get

54
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: it until I get sick. I mean I just can't

55
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: stop eating it. So I kind of make something. Then

56
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: I don't make anymore. Yeah, but who wants to make

57
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: it at ten o'clock at night? You know? I thought

58
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: about it a half. He can't sleep when he got

59
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: nothing good about a nine pm tip off? And this

60
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: is what the raptors, This is what the like down

61
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: the road NBA team. Yeah, you know, oh, this is

62
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: halftime watch halftime was ten thirty last night or ten twenty.

63
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: I watched the end of the third and I thought,

64
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: you know, well that's again, it's not going to happen

65
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: for the for the Warriors tonight, even though you know

66
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: with all the injuries they've had, you know, Kevin Durants out,

67
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: Clay Thompson's out, Um should be back. Yeah, the other

68
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: the guy's got a busted collar bone. Um Looney is

69
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: out with a busted collar so they're nicked up. This

70
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: reminds me of the series, the first series between Cavaliers

71
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: and the Warriors, when Lebron James, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love

72
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: and Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving were hurt for the

73
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: entire finals and they got like Delava Dova in there

74
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: for the Calves and trying to win a game. You know,

75
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: you know, Lebron has got literally everybody on his back

76
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: trying to win that game by himself, and you know,

77
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: he just can't do it, right, He can't do it.

78
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: And Steph tried it last night forty seven points. Great effort.

79
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy, he's pretty compelling to watch. Oh.

80
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: Usually it's a big dominant D like a Lebron James,

81
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, or a Kobe Bryant or you know a

82
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: you know back in the day and a chem Elajahwan,

83
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: or you know Tim Dunk and somebody who's down inside

84
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: a big, huge, imposing guy. Steph Curry's out there just

85
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: lighting it up. Look, Um, I was proud of myself.

86
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: And I've said it to you. I've said it to

87
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: I told you, I keep saying until you get acknowledged. Yes.

88
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: Willie hutch Jones a former NBA star and lives in Buffalo.

89
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: I saw him Sunday night. Asked him what he thought

90
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: we asked Jack Armstrong two days ago. I asked him

91
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: this question, is not Steph Curry the greatest shooter of

92
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: all time? And all of a sudden, I'm watching last

93
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: night and the announcers, the ABC announcers saying, I said,

94
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: they stole that for me. But it's true. He is

95
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: the greatest shooter of all time. And as Jack Armstrong

96
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: was a Tuesday a couple days ago, he can shoot

97
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: off the dribble, he can shoot off you know, off

98
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: a screen, he can stand there out the ball. Yeah,

99
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: he's unbelievable shooter. He is the best shooter I've ever seen.

100
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: He doesn't make them all, but he makes a high

101
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: percentage of impossible shots. And it's not just three pointers either.

102
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: He can penetrate it. There was one point, so they

103
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: double teamed him all night right pretty much as soon

104
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: as he got the ball, he was looking at two,

105
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: he was looking at two raptors, and he would get

106
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: in the corner and he'd be almost triple team a

107
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: couple of times. He can still shake loose and get

108
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: to the basket, you know, on his own, because he's

109
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: such a he moves without the ball, he moves with

110
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: the ball very well, very very talented player. Yes, he

111
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: is compelling. I would say I've been watching basketball for

112
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: a long time, Steve. He is one of my top

113
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: five all time watches. Just guys, yeah, oh yeah, I

114
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: mean I grew up with Calvin Murphy, not alongside of him,

115
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: but watching him at Niagara and in the NBA. Love

116
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: to watch him play. Michael Jordan Obviously, I never really

117
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: warmed up to Magic Johnson. Appreciated, you know, what he

118
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: did and how a man at six nine could move

119
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: like that and distribute like that. Love that guy. Randy

120
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: Smith was one of my favorite guys to watch the

121
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: former Buffalo Brave. But Steph Curry's right up there, right

122
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: up there. I mean, he just can I find when

123
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: I'm watching the Warriors on TV, I got one eye

124
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: on Curry moving without the ball, moving with the ball.

125
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: He plays. It's not like he's a slouch on defense.

126
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: He works out on defense. He gets matched up with

127
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: big guys sometimes and he can't do anything about it.

128
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: Love watching that guy play. And that's why I am

129
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: willing to sacrifice and say up till eleven forty two

130
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: last night when the game ended, to watch that game

131
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: as soon as the horn goes boom, I don't care

132
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: and just say this as a as a semi sort

133
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: of halfway decent Raptors fan steps a little whiny to me,

134
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: Oh no way, okay, no way, calm on, Nope, no way. Really,

135
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: you don't see. I think he makes fun of bad calls.

136
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: He gets a smile on his face. He laughed about it.

137
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: By the way, there were a lot of bad calls

138
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: last night. That was horrible officiating last night. It's a

139
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: little bit of a whiny show off. No. I love

140
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: that he's a great player, no question, but and I

141
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: know even off the off the court, he's a stellar individual.

142
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: But on the court he comes off sometimes to me.

143
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: He's a little bit of a whiney show off. And

144
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: by the way, I of your Raptors fan since like

145
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: two and a half weeks ago. No, here's the thing

146
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: I told you about that. My our youngest kids twenty one.

147
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: So he's been out of high school for four years now,

148
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: over three Well, his senior year of high school, we

149
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: had an exchange student who was a kid from Toronto,

150
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: well Italian kid from Toronto, from Toronto, Robbie Barbieri's Robbie Canoche.

151
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: So so Rob is a big Raptors because he's a

152
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: Toronto kid, right, so sit for him. We'd stay up

153
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: late sometimes and watch the Raptors. This was back when

154
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: they were getting beat by lebron every year right through

155
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: the East and so I started watching the Raptors and

156
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: kind of keeping track of them. They lost, you know,

157
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: DeRos and he went away, and then they got Kauai,

158
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: who's you know. It's been huge, all right. So now

159
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm a Raptors guy. And I still text with Rob,

160
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: this kid that was lived in our house, about the

161
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: Raptors and stuff. So I'm a kind of a halfway decent,

162
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: middle of the road kind of Raptors guy. Okay, so there,

163
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. They're my team. I do have

164
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: the player I like. I like Lebron, sure, and I

165
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: like Steph and I like the stars in the league.

166
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: But they're my team. They're the franchise. I like. We're

167
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: gonna become Cavaliers fans. I know see that. I'm I'm

168
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: all about it. Yeah, I'm all about really, but I

169
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: haven't got I gotta meet your boy Baylon Bline first.

170
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: I got since we meet him and he you know

171
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: he so you need the fi. If he wins my

172
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: affection when he meets me, I'm sure I love bestow

173
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: my fandom upon the Caven I'm sure he assumes this

174
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: new position that's right near, if not at the top

175
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: of his list, winning my affection. That he doesn't, I'll

176
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: become a cave guy. Listen, I'm not above because it's

177
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,719
Speaker 1: not my game. You know, I can. I can switch horses. Yes,

178
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: I'm always gonna have a soft spot for the Raptors though,

179
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: because of geographic proximity. Yeah, and and because of because

180
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: of rob Okay. So show today, we got a football

181
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: show to do here today, and the football is going

182
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: on outside on the practice field Number two outside the

183
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: Pro Sports Training Center a closed session. No media available today,

184
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: so we will not be hearing from Chris Brown about

185
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: today's practice, but they are out there. They'll do it

186
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: again tomorrow. The final OTA is tomorrow, and then next

187
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: week a three day mandatory mini camp. I think you'll

188
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: be hard pressed tom to notice the difference between the

189
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 1: mandatory attendance mini camp and what's going on here. We

190
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: don't take attendance, but it looks like a lot of

191
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: people have been here on a regular basis. Interesting thing, Steve,

192
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: You and I had a brief hallway conversation with head

193
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: coach on m Termer today and you know, I think

194
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: we said something like, yeah, OTA is good luck, you know,

195
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: wrap it up, wrap it up strong, and goes yeah.

196
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: I just which we were healthier? And what is there

197
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 1: like a dozen people either limited or out of yesterday's practice,

198
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: And as I pointed out a couple of days ago

199
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: on a roster with ninety one that's not undue people missing.

200
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: But I do think it's like a little bit of

201
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: a nagging thing in the back of the mind of

202
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: Bills fans certainly and maybe even this coaching staff, like man,

203
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: we wanted to get some reps for Tyler Craft and

204
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: unable to do that this spring, and he won't be

205
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: available next week either. And it's not that's just one area, right,

206
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: There are a couple of different areas where the Bills

207
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: are just missing people. And not that it's a problem yet,

208
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: it's not, but it hampers I think the kind of

209
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,719
Speaker 1: development and evaluation that I'm certain they were hoping to

210
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: do this time of year. Right, Yeah, both centers were out, Yeah,

211
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: Bodine and Morse, you know, almost took no reps during

212
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: the last three four weeks. That it's one of the

213
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: things too. And you think about it, and we've you

214
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: and I have been sitting here like an old time

215
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: doctor with a stethoscope with on the heartbeat of the team.

216
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: You know, we're like keeping it. We've got the pulse

217
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: of what's going on with every nuance, every roster change,

218
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: and there was a there's a roster change at the

219
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: bottom of the roster yesterday where they brought in a

220
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: d tackle. So you and I have been watching the

221
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: one thing that could derail every good decision, smart play, discipline, move,

222
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,599
Speaker 1: all the things that we've praised this Brandon Bean and

223
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: Sean McDermot and all the draft picks and all the signings,

224
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 1: the free agent all the great stuff that has gone

225
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 1: on this last offseason could all be derailed by stuff

226
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: that's out of your control, like injuries. You know, yeah,

227
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: you know, you get two or three guys that whatever

228
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: for whatever unrelated random thing. One guy steps off the curb,

229
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: twists his ankle. This guy pulls the wrong and pulls

230
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: a muscle. This guy you know, dings his fender and

231
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: twists his knee in a car or whatever, you know,

232
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you do have a positional emergency,

233
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 1: you know, I mean there they were drawn straws to

234
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: place center in the last three weeks of you know,

235
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: mini camp. It was crazy. So and that's the one thing,

236
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: after all the good things you've done and all the

237
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: stuff that's in place, he had no control over. Not

238
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: a big problem yet, but certainly a nagging issue. You're like,

239
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: come on, this is spring, right, we should have everybody healthy.

240
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: But guys are coming off offseason surgery. A couple of

241
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: guys got kind of nicked up in the workout. So far,

242
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: they'll get through it. But it is worth noting that

243
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: it has put a bit of a damper on the

244
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: springtime workouts as we moved into the mandatory minicamp next week.

245
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: The roster moves happened yesterday, of course, happened after three

246
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 1: pm after we went off the area yesterday. The Bills

247
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: releasing tight end Moral Stevens just signed a week or

248
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: two ago, and defensive tackle Quindarius the Guard, and they

249
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: signed tight end Nate Becker, an undrafted rookie free agent

250
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: this past April by the Detroit Lions. Released by the

251
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: club this past after their rookie minicamp. Played at Miami

252
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: Ohio University, a blocking tight end nineteen catches in his

253
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: college career, and Nate Becker tight end is now with

254
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Should be here today. They also signed

255
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: free agent defensive tackle LT Walton in twenty fifteen, he

256
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: was a sixth round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Four

257
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: seasons with the Steelers as part of their defensive line rotation.

258
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: Appeared in thirty six NFL games over the years. Not

259
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: resigned by the Steelers at the end of his first contract,

260
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: so out on the street. LT Walton, defensive tackle signed

261
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: by the Bills, and we said they made two moves

262
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: to make room for them, so you're caught up to

263
00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: day on what's going on with the Bills. Out on

264
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: the practice field today, I think dodging the raindrops. And

265
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: here's what today's show is all about. Are you ready

266
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: for this? Jim Kelly is going to join us at

Speaker 1: him about that. They're moving to Williamsville North High School

273
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,520

Speaker 1: o'clock or so today and after today's uh ot A workout.

276
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: Devin single Terry it's going to join us. Bill's third

277
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 1: round draft pick, rookie running back Devin single Terry. It's

278
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: gonna be in studio with us. We had him on

279
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: the show. Were you here when we had him on

280
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: the phone right after the draft? I think you were.

281
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: I think I was. Yeah, yeah, I thought we had

282
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: him in here, but I was wrong. He hasn't been here. Yeah,

283
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 1: we checked it out. Well, you know, obviously we keep Oh,

284
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: we've got We've got all kinds of records, lots of

285
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: archives show. We have a big long record of who

286
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: refused to come on the show. We've got that. Yeah,

287
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: that's the list that you don't want to be at. Yeah.

288
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: But also, but it's funny because you know, there's only

289
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: you know what five dozen guys on the team during

290
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: the season and stuff, and we always get an argument,

291
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: didn't we have him on? Oh yeah, yeah, we couldn't remember,

292
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 1: so we had to go We had to actually do

293
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: some real viable research to find out that he was

294
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: on by phone but not in studio. So he's coming

295
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: on today in studio. Devin Singletary should be one forty

296
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: five two pm or so in that in that neighborhood.

297
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: And speaking of Devon Singletary, he's part of what we're

298
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: talking about today, and it's not quarterbacks, so you can

299
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: take a rest of your quarterback freak. We're talking about

300
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: running backs. And I think it is one of the

301
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: intriguing I'm not saying it's the most critical question about

302
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: the Bills this spring. But it is intriguing. I haven't

303
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: heard anyone give me a plausible plan of how they're

304
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: going to use these guys yet, But we want to

305
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: get you to kind of think about that a little bit.

306
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: And we look on the roster running back right now.

307
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: You know the group, Lashawan McCoy, Frank Gore, Devin Singletary,

308
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: t J. Yelden signed as an unrestricted free agent from

309
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars, Sonar Perry who may be more of

310
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: a special teamer. We'll see, Marcus Murphy got some playing

311
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: time last year, Christian Wade, the project guy, the former

312
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: rugby player Keith Ford remains on the roster, and running

313
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: back Pat de Marco at fullback. But we kind of

314
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: boiled it down to this and for a Twitter poll question,

315
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: after Lashawn McCoy, besides Lashawn, which Bills running back will

316
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: lead the team in touches? Look, we are not conceding

317
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: the lead to Lashawn McCoy, but we think right that

318
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: he would overwhelmingly win this Twitter poll. Yeah, he had

319
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty one touches. Lash Let's see, I think, yeah,

320
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: he had one hundred and sixty one touches last year,

321
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: which was by far and away the most touches on

322
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: the team, even even though he didn't lead the team

323
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: in rushing as we all know Josh Allen did. Josh

324
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: only had the had like out eighty nine or ninety

325
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: rushing attempts, So Leshawn would be, you'd think. And I

326
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: think it's because of his ability to make a little

327
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: bit more out of a little bit less that's given

328
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: to him. He gets a lot of the touches. I

329
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: think this coaching I just want to point out here

330
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty one rushes but also a thirty

331
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: four pass reception, so you total blows up. I think,

332
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: right right, he's gonna he's gonna get his share of touches. Um.

333
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: And I think that's not gonna change. I think this

334
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: coaching staff really thinks he's got a lot left in

335
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: the tank, and so do I. I do too. I

336
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: also think Frank Gore's got a little bit left in

337
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: the tank as well. I saw him play a couple

338
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: of times last year. He still got it. Uh, and

339
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: he he's still he's still he's still a force. Uh.

340
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: You're not gonna ask Frank Gore to carry the ball

341
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: on an average of you know, twenty twenty five times

342
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: a game, but he'll give you ten or fifteen, and

343
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: he may give you twenty five once a month, you

344
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Through the season. So, uh, they've

345
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: got some guys. Devin Singletary. I think it's very intriguing.

346
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: He talked about him a little bit. I'm gonna ask

347
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: him about this when he comes in today. He didn't

348
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: wow anybody with his athletic ability at the combine. He

349
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: was an okay, you know, his measurables were just there.

350
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: Questions about his viability in the pass game, right. He

351
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: didn't catch the ball very much. In college, he carried

352
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: the ball a ton and was very productive. But when

353
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 1: you get him out, he doesn't run very fast, he

354
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: doesn't jump very high, doesn't lift very much weight. You know,

355
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: his broad jump wasn't big, none of his men. And

356
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: he's five eight, you know, two hundred. He's not very big.

357
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: But then you turn the film on and watch Devin

358
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 1: Singletary plays like whoa who? Who is this guy? He

359
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: outplays all of those measurables. He's really intriguing for that reason,

360
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: and that's you know, that's why he's he's I can't

361
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: wait to talk to him and ask him about some

362
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: of the things that he's been up against in his career.

363
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: Singletary will join us after practice today. So again, the

364
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: question on Twitter after Shady, after Lashawan McCoy, which Bills

365
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: running back will lead the team in touches past receptions

366
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: plus carries? What do you think? You can call it

367
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: something let us know eight oh three oh five fifty

368
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: or toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two

369
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: five fifty. You can vote in the Twitter poll. You

370
00:17:58,320 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 1: can send us a tweet. We may read it on

371
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet. After Lashawn McCoy, which Bills running back

372
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: will lead the team in touches? On the Twitter poll

373
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: right now, forty two percent of our respondents and we've

374
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 1: got more than five hundred and seventy responses, Forty two

375
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: percent say Devin Singletary will be second in touches after

376
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 1: Shady McCoy, Thirty five percent say Frank Gore, and twenty

377
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,719
Speaker 1: three percent say t J. Eldon. That's pretty close, And

378
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: I think see if it's reflective of just the uncertainty

379
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: among Bills fans. Maybe the coaching staff knows what they're

380
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 1: gonna do how they're gonna portion out the snaps and

381
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,479
Speaker 1: the touches. But for my part, I don't know how

382
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna work out. I think that poll result reflects

383
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: the fact that most fans don't know how this is

384
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: gonna work out. Let's concede Shady will lead the team

385
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: in touches, and that concession is not a lock by

386
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: any means, Right, I don't think that's a lot. But

387
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: who do you think will be second? And forty two

388
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: percent of our respondents say, Devin Singletary, let's hear from

389
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: you eight oh three oh five fifty toll free one

390
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty, or send

391
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: in a tweet. What's your vote? I don't know. I

392
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: don't I guess Ingletary, I guess I'd go to forty

393
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,479
Speaker 1: two percent. We've seen enough training camps to know like

394
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: stuff changes. T J Yelden and three percent t J Yelden,

395
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: who has had success in the National Football League. He

396
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: could be the primary. What we're talking about really is

397
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 1: I believe who's the primary backup to Shady? Right, we

398
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: concede Shady gets the bulk of the touches, But who's

399
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: number two? I mean, yeah, I could if t J.

400
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: Yelden were that guy, I would not be floored if

401
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: that happened. All those guys have a legitimate argument as

402
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: to why you might think they'd be they'd end up

403
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 1: at the top of that that heap. And here's the

404
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: thing too, I said, I got some I got a

405
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: lot of nice things to say about Frank Gore. He's

406
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer in waiting. The guys put up

407
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: career numbers like nobody else. He still played extremely effectively

408
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 1: for the Miami Dolphins last year. He was brought in

409
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: by Adam Gas last year to the Miami Dolphins because

410
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 1: of his leadership, his professionalism, the example he sets by

411
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: his hard work. He does it all right and his

412
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 1: career has been long and illustrious because of that. But

413
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: does he have another year in him at thirty six?

414
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: It looked like he did last year. But that's what

415
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: they're saying about Lashawn McCoy as well. Lashawn McCoy is

416
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: in his thirties, he's thirty one. Does he have a

417
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: lot it left him? You know, Frank Gore may come

418
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: to the end of it before he gets a chance

419
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: to carry it for the Bills, Devin Singletary, what do

420
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 1: you mean about it? I don't know how good he's

421
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: gonna be. I think he's gonna be really good. But

422
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: he's thirty six, right, what's he gonna What are you

423
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: gonna do if he, you know, cracks an ankle in

424
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: training camp? You know? And you know what I have

425
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: to think about Gore? What if he is not gonna

426
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 1: if he sees and the Bill see, he is not

427
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: going to be the primary backup. Look, I think they

428
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: have a role for him, they haven't really defined it.

429
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: But what if they get into camp and he doesn't

430
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: appear to be up for that role? Does he stick around?

431
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: Does he stick around at age thirty six on a

432
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: roster where he might not have any any real meaningful

433
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: work to do. I don't know. I don't know if

434
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: the Bills would go for that, or if Frank Gore

435
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: would go for that. That's part of the equation for me.

436
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,239
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, that's true, that's true. There's a lot

437
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: of ways you can look at Frank Gore and there

438
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: and I can also see this the other end of

439
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: the spectrum. By the end of the season, he's the

440
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: most effective guy and he's getting the bulk of the carriers. Yeah, yeah,

441
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: I can see it. It could happen that he turns

442
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: into this, you know, the Bills turn into a new

443
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: offensive line. All of a sudden, They've got a road

444
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: greater up there and a couple of guys, and all

445
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: of a sudden, they're tough to stop in the run game,

446
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: and Frank Gore's running up inside the tackles and guards

447
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: get in production. You know, it's like, well, you know

448
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: what we got him for this year. We're gonna use

449
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: him up. You know. It's that kind of mentality. So

450
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: I could see that happening as well. I saw the

451
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: guy play really good less than a year ago. Last

452
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: last fall, he was playing well for the Dolphins, and

453
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: he elevated himself right through the ranks of that team

454
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: and was the guy it's gonna do it again. It's

455
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: it's not a problem for the Bills, not a problem,

456
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: but it is an interesting decision that they're gonna have

457
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: to make. I think probably deep at least past the

458
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: middle of training camp, and training camps pretty short, so

459
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: let's say by mid August. I think they would like

460
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: to have a sense of who's doing what right in

461
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: the backfield. So did you put it out there who

462
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: you're geting? Did I put it out there Singletary? You

463
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be saying? I think, But look, I

464
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: can't recall having this much uncertainty about a position group.

465
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: And I do think Shady has a lot left for

466
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: the team, and especially this year. I think they're gonna

467
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: use as much as they can out of that. But

468
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: there's a lot of uncertainty as to how that group

469
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: stacks up. And I don't have an answer for you, right,

470
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: I would guess Devin Singletary, what about you score? I

471
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 1: might say Devin Singletary For this reason, he is his style,

472
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: his production. Except for the bonus that Shady gives you

473
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: in the passing game, he runs it in the same

474
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: style and is the same kind of back that Leshaun

475
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 1: McCoy is. So you got to think that there's gonna

476
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: be less of an adjustment for a play caller for

477
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: game planning for the players around him. They're gonna block

478
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: for him the same way they're gonna block for Leshaun McCoy.

479
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: And if Leshaun McCoy is that guy, Levin Singletary will

480
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: be a guy that will come in fresh and they

481
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: won't change too much. But by the same token, do

482
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 1: you want the complimentary back to Lashawan McCoy to be

483
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: just like him or completely different? You know, t J.

484
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: Yellen is not gonna be like Lashan McCoy. He's gonna

485
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: be a little bit more like Frank Gore. You know,

486
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: you got those two guys that are more physical up

487
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: inside runners. Now, Yelden is a really good runner as well,

488
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: and showed some flashes in Jacksonville. But but you know,

489
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: Jacksonville moved on from him. Yeah, so it'll be interesting

490
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: to see how good he can be. But I think

491
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary is gonna be a guy that looks a

492
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: lot like Lashawn McCoy when you watch him play, even

493
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: you know, even though their body types are a little different.

494
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: He's not quite the size of Leshawn, But I think

495
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: they're the same style of runners. So I could make

496
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: the argument for him as well in that regard. But ah, man,

497
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: it's a tough one. He didn't catch the ball very

498
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: much in college. Now, they obviously the bills. I mean,

499
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: all they did with him when they had the private workout,

500
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: all they did was throw them routes and they said, yeah,

501
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: he can catch it. So they're good with it. So

502
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: if they're good with it and then they checked him out, okay,

503
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: let's see. But that's I think that Singletary would be

504
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 1: the guy a pick. What do you think we let

505
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: air from you? Bill's fan after Shady? Which Bill's running

506
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: back will lead the team in touches? You can send

507
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: in a tweet with your response. You can vote on

508
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll. You can give us a call eight

509
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: three fifty and toll free one eight eight by fifty

510
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: two five fifty. Let's check the tweet sheet. It is

511
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers

512
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. Want to start with this one.

513
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: Billy Oliveraris tweets Listen, I voted Gore. Gotta be Gore.

514
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: He's proved a year after year. He is a reliable

515
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: back who produces Shady and Gore will be a good

516
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 1: one two punch to keep defenses on their toes. Look

517
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: what Gore did last year in Miami. Until I see otherwise,

518
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: it's going to be Gore. He is a future Hall

519
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: of Famer. Yes, he's likely to be a future Hall

520
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 1: of Famer. But and I'm not disagreeing with what you

521
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: say there, Billy Alibaris. The question is, is is Steve pointed

522
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: out what's left in the tank? It appeared based on

523
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: last year he's got a lot left. But at age

524
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: thirty six that running back things, things can decelerate pretty quickly, Steven,

525
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: So I think that would be the question with Frank Gore. Yeah,

526
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 1: I think so too, And then Wandering Jack chimes in

527
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: as well. As much as I think Gore will have

528
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: a role to play in TUN nineteen, it makes no

529
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: sense to use a high asset in a third round

530
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: pick to draft a guy if he isn't going to

531
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: play a big role by year's end. Singletary could be

532
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: the feature back if McCoy doesn't rebound in a big way,

533
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: so he'll get the touches. Um, you could make that argument.

534
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: Really cool. I don't see anything wrong with that argument now.

535
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of ifs ands. Yeah, but

536
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: still that's the kind of the world we live in

537
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: right now, in June, early June, right, Yeah, but I

538
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: do like I'll say, I say this, those four guys,

539
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: and there's other things that you know, Murphy's in there,

540
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: there's some other running backs in the stable, no question

541
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: about it. But you talk about I'm really comfortable going

542
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: into camp and into the two thou nineteen season with McCoy, Gore, Singletary,

543
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: and Yelden as the guys you have to pick from.

544
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: I like those four guys. I hear you. I like those.

545
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: Here's a really interesting tweetum, and it's speaks to what

546
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: we said right when we set this up. Sean Brennan

547
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: tweets this in the question after Shady, which Bills running

548
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: back would lead the team and touches? Sean Brennan tweets,

549
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 1: and why are we assuming McCoy will lead them in touches?

550
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 1: He still has to show last year it was a fluke.

551
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: If he looks like he did last year, he won't

552
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 1: even lead them in touches. It'll be Gore or Singletary.

553
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: You're right, Sean. We assume that for simplicity's sake, for

554
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: the point of this, uh, just for the point of

555
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 1: this Twitter poll. That's why we make that assumption. Um. Yeah,

556
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: so yeah, well yeah, that's yeah. We're just doing it

557
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: so we can make it a better Twitter poll, making

558
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 1: it more even. But that's uh, I'm all about that.

559
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: I think there's a I think it's a great question.

560
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be fun to see, and I

561
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 1: think it's an acknowledgement I think by us, because I

562
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 1: know we both leave it. This offense is gonna look

563
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: vastly different than it did a year ago. It's gonna

564
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: be vastly more productive. They're gonna score more points, they're

565
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit more of a handful, and

566
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,959
Speaker 1: they're gonna give a defense that was kind of on

567
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: its heels a little bit last year. Kind of playing

568
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: these offenses that didn't really have to score too many points.

569
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: I think they really helped them. I'm gonna play a

570
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: lot better complimentary football with this offense. We got Devin

571
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: Singletary coming up on the show after practice today. We

572

00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: coach Mark Rick who coached at UH at Georgia, then

607
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: the coach at Miami and I think he also played

608
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: at Miami UM with Jim actually, So um, it's gonna

609
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun and uh, you know obviously

610
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: just you know, talking about the games as we're watching them,

611
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: and then uh, you know, we'll have a Friday night

612
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: show just pretty viewing the games and things like that.

613
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: One thing, and um, ESPN did it already with the

614
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: SEC networking. Now they got ACC. They will go all

615
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: out on this, won't they. They will make this work.

616
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: That's one of the things you can count on when

617
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: you're dealing with ESPN, Right. Yeah, anytime you have ESPN

618
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: back and you know something that you know, a new

619
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: network like the ACC, that's really why I chose to

620
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: do it, you know, obviously Ill was with the Chiefs,

621
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: and um, you know, once he has ESPN, I'm sorry,

622
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: ACT came in and offered, and you know I kind

623
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: of had to choose, like, all right, well, I'm going

624
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: to continue to play football. I'm not going to move

625
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: forward and do this, uh, you know, do the college

626
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: football thing. So I'm excited about it. You know, it's

627
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: a new opportunity and you know, like anything else is

628
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: gonna be a grind and you just got to work

629
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: hard at it. I know You've always had the right

630
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: attitude about every endeavor you've gone gone into and when,

631
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: whether it was the NFL or anything else. So how

632
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: tough a decision was it to say, you know what,

633
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: I'm done playing I want to I want to be

634
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: an analyst. How tough was that decision? It was extremely

635
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: tough obviously, because you know, I got a chance to

636
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: sign with the chief So I'm working out with them

637
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: and things are going well, and obviously I think they

638
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: have a really good team. Obviously coach coach Reid is

639
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,479
Speaker 1: doing a great job coaching up a guy like Patrick Mahomes.

640
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: But you know, it was a tough you know, it's

641
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: a tough decision. Obviously, because I've been playing football in

642
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: my entire life, you know, since I was five years old.

643
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know, sometimes you have

644
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: to make that choice, and you know, I felt at

645
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: peace with it. And also I ended up hurting my

646
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: knee a little bit last year while I was training too,

647
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: so I kind of helped a little bit, just like, hey,

648
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: do I really need to because this is the second time,

649
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: if you guys to remember, I hurt my knee back

650
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: as a rookie. So, um, you know, I didn't want

651
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: to keep, you know, banging on that if I didn't

652
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: have to when I had this offer on the table,

653
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: and you know, it's not like these jobs with these

654
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: networks come you know every day, you know what I mean.

655
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: So I think time was of the essence that I

656
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: had to make a decision to go with it. Well

657
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: that's yeah, you're making me feel really old now that EJ.

658
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: Manuel is an old guy worried about his knees. I

659
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: really feel not at all, not at all. He was

660
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: on it's on the mine anyway, bro, where's your head

661
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: where's your headquarters gonna be? Where's the studio gonna be located?

662
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: So it's in Bristol, um, so, I live in Los Angeles,

663
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: but I'll just be commuting from LA to Bristol and

664
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: then sometimes I just stay in Bristol during the week,

665
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: you know, you know, pretty much building up for the

666
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: following weekend. We have to talk, you know, some some

667
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: football in the studio around the line with EJ. Mannual,

668
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: former Bills first round draft pick. You just signed down

669
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: to be an analyst with the ACC Network this fall. DJ,

670
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: What was the season like with the Oakland Raiders? How

671
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: did you like it out there? What was it like

672
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: playing out there in the time that you got to

673
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: play with him? Yeah, it was good. You know, Obviously

674
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: it's a it's a different change, you know, being in

675
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: California that the cultures are different. Obviously the weather is

676
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: a little different. But you know, my time with the

677
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: Raiders was good. I really enjoyed my time in Buffalo, though. Man,

678
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: you know, I wish things could have went a lot

679
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: better than I you know, obviously got the competitor. You

680
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: want to win championships, you want to go to the

681
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: playoffs and things like that. But I do think that

682
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: my time in Buffalo actually prepared me for time such

683
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: as this. You know, whether it was you know, in

684
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: my football career and my professional career now the college

685
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: football analysts. So you know, I don't take, you know,

686
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: any anything for granted. And I'm extremely blessed to have

687
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: played in the NFL and you know, played for two

688
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: different teams and two great franchises. Would you have done

689
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: anything different as far as what your career your football career.

690
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: Would you have handled situations here in Buffalo as an

691
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: earlier as a young player, or transition to another team

692
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: that kind of thing, right? Do you have any regrets?

693
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: I guess I wouldn't they regrets? I think if anything

694
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: of learning experience, you know. I think once I got

695
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: away from Buffalo and saw how some of these you know,

696
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: other teams kind of handled their young quarterbacks. When I

697
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: got to Oakland and saw how you know, they did

698
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: things with there, you know what I mean, kind of

699
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: a kind of allowing them to make his mistakes early

700
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: in his career, you know what I mean. I think

701
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: if there was anything that I would kind of upset

702
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,959
Speaker 1: about from myself, because I can't control anyone else as

703
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: actually or anyone else's decisions, right, But all I can

704
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: really do is control my thought process and my confidence,

705
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: you know, I think, if anything, when I was young,

706
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: I allowed some of the circumstances and some of the

707
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: things going around me to affect my mindset and my confidence,

708
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: and I think my place suffered in certain moments. And

709
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: so at the end of the day, it's kind of

710
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: getting around Derek and I continue how they treat Patrick,

711
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: and I'll end up doing a great job with jobs

712
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: Darren Buffalo, you know, from what I've seen as one

713
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: looker looking at you know, his work a year and

714
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: then now I think it's gonna goa from Dermot's doing

715
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: a great job preparing him, getting it ready for the

716
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: second season. At the end of the day, when you

717
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: have a young quarterback and you have to patient, you know,

718
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure Jim could say the same thing. You have

719
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: to allow us to make our mistakes, and you know,

720
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: really that's the only way you're gonna learn. You know, Otherwise,

721
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: if you're watching a hold of quarterback and that's great,

722
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: but you know, the best way to learn and to

723
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: get better it's actually out there on the field and

724
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: make those mistakes. You know, it strikes me, ej that

725
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: it doesn't help. And for a guy in your case

726
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: to have two different head coaches, right Maron and Rex Ryan. Yeah, well,

727
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: a couple of different coordinat there's a couple of different

728
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: offenses that that makes it more difficult, I would think

729
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: for a young quarterback. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Obviously after the

730
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: second year goes from Roan moves on and goes to

731
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: Jackson vie On. The coach hiring comes in. Anytime you

732
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: have a new head coach is coming. Man that guys

733
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: that are don't draft for you, and then obviously mister

734
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: Wilson Hathaway to do. So we have no ownership in

735
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,760
Speaker 1: the bogus who who are obviously doing a great job

736
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 1: books either still it up and say you can do it.

737
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: You know, great things. But you know, anytime you have

738
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: transition and change, you know, as a player, you kind

739
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: of get caught up in that, you know what I mean.

740
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 1: And so I felt like, you know, after my second

741
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: year going to that third season, I had a father preseason,

742
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,479
Speaker 1: but you know, Tyl Rosalis, you know, ended up getting

743
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: a job. So you know, it just kind of aster. Man.

744
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: I've just learned that recum dances always they are and

745
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: sometimes you gotta roll with the punches and things are

746
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: always going to be you know, according to plan at

747
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,240
Speaker 1: the end of the day to that sort the process,

748
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: because you know, we're blass the playing and so it's

749
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: not necessarily something that we're old. You know, it's a

750
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: it's a great opportunity and you can never take it

751
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: for grants. Yeah, EJ one game and it's not just you,

752
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: but a game of the Bills that four years later,

753
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: it haunts me. The game in London against Jacksonville, rough

754
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: start for you and the team, and yet you brought

755
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: him back and you had it and there was a

756
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: terrible pass interference call on the roby callman. To turn

757
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: the whole game around, it would have been I mean,

758
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 1: your story might be thought of differently had they not

759
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: been the penalty call. Well, what's funny, man, When I

760
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,439
Speaker 1: was watching Nikelle this past season in the playoffs, Yeah,

761
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: that non passing afferience calls and now I wish they

762
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: would have did that in London a couple of years ago.

763
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: But you know, it happens, man. I was actually talking

764
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: about that with one of my friends. You know this again, circumstances,

765
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: you know things. Obviously I didn't play the best in

766
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 1: the first half of that game, but obviously just having

767
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: the resolve to help bring the team back and give

768
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: ourselves a chance to win late in the game. That's

769
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 1: all you can do. Like you said, if we did

770
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,720
Speaker 1: pull that win out, I think, you know, the narrative

771
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: is a little different, but you know that's how I

772
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: go sometimes. Well, I'm happy that you're gonna get a

773
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: chance to turn the page and move on to the

774
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: ACC Network. And I was gonna ask you, what are

775
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: you gonna do? I mean, college football is a little

776
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 1: different than the pros. There's a thousand guys on the field,

777
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 1: you know, on the sidelines, there's all this stuff going on.

778
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: How are you gonna prepare for your new gig with

779
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: ACC Network. Well, I think it's the same as when

780
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: you're a player, you know, I think you still got

781
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: to study, you gotta watch to take with these guys,

782
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: you have to kind of get on this ground and

783
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: go visit these universities and visit these coaches I have.

784
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,439
Speaker 1: You know, I've been away from the ACC for seven

785
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: years and then most of these coaches that I played

786
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: again aren't there anymore, you know. So the biggest thing

787
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: to me that summers and try to get on the

788
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: road and go meet some of these coaches sit down

789
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: with their quarterbacks. When you sit down with their offensive

790
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: coordinators and just kind of get, you know, two hours

791
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 1: time just to learn the offense and just kind of

792
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: learn their schemes and you know, have an idea of

793
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: what they're saying or what they're doing, just so when

794
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: I'm talking about them on TV, I know what I'm

795
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: talking about, because that's the main thing. You don't want

796
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: to get bad information because people will always be able

797
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 1: to call that out. So you know, like anything else, Man,

798
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 1: it's the grind and you got to study and you know,

799
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: now instead of just worried about one opponent, I have

800
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 1: to think about fifteen, you know. I mean not that

801
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: they're opponents, but I just need to know what I'm

802
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: talking about. I've been The biggest thing is learning. Well,

803
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 1: j know you're gonna like it. I know you'd be

804
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,440

Speaker 1: ESPN money behind it. They'll be fine, right the ACC

821
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 1: of guy now he wasn't And even then it was

822
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: easy to see why the Bills they they took him

823
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: in the first round of the drafting. It didn't work

824
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,760
Speaker 1: out for him football wise, but man, what a great

825
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: human being he was. You could see all the leadership

826
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: qualities and how the great outlook he has on his

827
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: own life even now after his football careers ended, and um,

828
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,120

Speaker 1: He saw even you know, after not working out here

831
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,719

Speaker 1: the rest of the running back crew after Shady, which

839
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,400

00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: with it. Yeah, yeah, Hey. Our question is about running

850
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: backs today and the crowded field of running backs the

851
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 1: Bill say, after Shady who who which Bills running back

852
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: will lead the team in touches? What do you think?

853
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 1: Let's take a few phone calls on this. Paul on

854
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: the line from Medinah. Go ahead, Paul, you're on the

855
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: air with this. Paul. Okay, I'm gonna put Paul on

856
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: hold because I'm We're good for about one of those

857
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 1: a day. I'm pretty certain the problem is on at

858
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: our end. I would think I'll put Paul on hold.

859
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll get that solved. Back to the tweet sheet

860
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,879
Speaker 1: brought to you by Carrigan Moving Systems. Sipping the kool

861
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 1: Aid and answering the question after Lashawan McCoy which Bills

862
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: running back will lead the team and touches? Sipping the

863
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: kool Aid says, I voted Singletary because you use the

864
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: word touches instead of carries. I think Gore will have

865
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: the second most carries, but Singletary will have more combined

866
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: touches due to the passing game. I don't think you

867
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: will see it early in the season, but you will

868
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: as the year goes along. That's interesting. The pre actually

869
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: post draft comments from Brandon being about Singletary's lack of

870
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: real experience in the passing game, I think plays into

871
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: this a little bit, which is why I might be

872
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: a little reluctant to say that. And in the passing game,

873
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: Steve help us out with this. It's not just, you know,

874
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,760
Speaker 1: can you catch the ball, it's can you pass protect.

875
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,839
Speaker 1: That's a key determinant of who's playing at running back

876
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,439
Speaker 1: in the passing game, Right, you guys, when Jim gets

877
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: on in this next segment at the top of the hour,

878
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: we'll ask him how important it was for Thurmon to

879
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 1: step to the right guy. You know, that's not what

880
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 1: it is that you gotta step to the right guy. Um,

881
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 1: there's seven guys in the box up front, they call

882
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 1: the protection. The running back has to know who's left free,

883
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: so he's got to step to the guy, and the

884
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: quarterback has to know the guy knows too. So um yeah.

885
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: And Singletary's five eight, two hundred. He's got to get

886
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 1: him quick, you know what I mean. He can't he

887
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: can't wait for the guy to get into the backfield

888
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: before he steps. He's got to go get him at

889
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: that at that size. And the way you got to

890
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 1: go get the guy and stop him short because if

891
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: he steam rolls, you can still slow him down and

892
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: give the quarterback a chance to get rid of it.

893
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: So Singletary, that's gonna be the one thing. And that's

894
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: the same for any running back, particularly young guys you

895
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 1: come out of running. Listen, Devin Singletary carried the ball

896
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: over seven hundred times in college. He scored sixty six touchdowns.

897
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: He didn't pass pro too much. You know, it's just

898
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: not a technique that they asked him to do. They

899
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: were handing it to him a lot. They weren't asking

900
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 1: him to protect. So it's a skill he's gonna have

901
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: to learn and see if he can get good at.

902
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 1: And that may be the one obstacle he faces as

903
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: far as his football acumen, as to what he's gonna

904
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: have to prove he can do it um because he's

905
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 1: not gonna block anybody from you know, he's not gonna

906
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: block any account future accountants in the NFL. You know,

907
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: like he's taken on some guys. So we'll see. Let

908
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 1: me try another call here. Let's go back to Paul

909
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: and Medinah. Are you there, Paul, there is hias. We can, Yes,

910
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:48,399
Speaker 1: we can. Yes. I was thinking it's gonna be your

911
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: third round fix singletary, he's gonna get the most touches.

912
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: I think that the Bills are gonna try to prepare

913
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 1: for doing though the K gun again. I think that

914
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: worked for him so well before, and I think with

915
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,879
Speaker 1: Kelly getting the little bit more healthier, I think he's

916
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: going to be really really helping out Josh and preparing

917
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 1: him to try doing the K gun. I think that

918
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: worked for him once. And I Steve, I think you

919
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 1: know how well that worked well, It worked twenty five

920
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: years ago. We're gonna have the We're gonna have the

921
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: guy who ran it on at the top of the hour. Yeah,

922
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: the K guns great, and people and we all harkened

923
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 1: back to a guys of our vintage, and you know,

924
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: there's it's been dissected by every coaching staff around the

925
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: league for years. But like I said yesterday, you know,

926
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: Jim was a Hall of Fame quarterback and he was

927
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: throwing to a Hall of Fame wide receiver in the slot,

928
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame ride receiver on the other side,

929
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: and he had a Hall of Fame running back to

930
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: hand it to. You know, they could have been running

931
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 1: the wing t with those guys and they'd have been

932
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: pretty good, you know what I'm saying. So, but no

933
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,879
Speaker 1: question that the K Gun was good for a lot

934
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,240
Speaker 1: of different reasons. But it was a confluence of events

935
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 1: that made it run. It wasn't just coming up with

936
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: the idea. There are a lot of reasons it worked,

937
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: and it had as much to do with the players

938
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: who ran as it did with the concept. Make your call.

939
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 1: Here is Andrew in Gowanda. Hello Andrew, go ahead, you're

940
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: on the air. Hey guys, A big fan here. I

941
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: love the show. I actually listened to it overnight because

942
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: I worked overnights and I don't get to listen to

943
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: it during the day, and I get frustrated because I want.

944
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: I want to call in so many times, but probably

945
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: gonna get some sort of voicemail or something. Would you

946
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: do take a day off work? Chet, call in today, Andrews?

947
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: That what we're looking at here. I got. I got

948
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 1: the day off, So good for you. All right, bro,

949
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: there you go as you're watching live. Yeah, what's up?

950
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 1: I went the way in on a pole. They I

951
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,879
Speaker 1: voted Frank Gore. But I think we'll have a better

952
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 1: idea after the preseason. If the sound McCoy's back to

953
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 1: his elite level of last year, or if we're gonna

954
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: have to expect Frank Gore to take more of the

955
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 1: load and then maybe trade McCoy midway through the season

956
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: and Devin Singletary will get his role. But I just

957
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: don't see the rookie running back getting isn't much touches

958
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: this year, especially if McCoy is back to his league level,

959
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: He's just gonna be buried behind too many guys. But

960
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: it'd be great for him anyway to learn behind though. Yeah,

961
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting to think about this preseason how

962
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna shake out, because, let's face it, I don't

963
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 1: think Leshaun McCoy's gonna carry the ball more than what

964
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: two times in a game? Yeah, and he probably will

965
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: play three maybe right, He maybe may get snaps in

966
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: three of them and have two carries a game. Frank

967
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 1: Gore kind of the same thing, right, Yeah, Devin Singletary

968
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: may get it ten or fifteen. TJ Yelden maybe ten fifteen.

969
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, those guys aren't going to

970
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 1: carry much either. It's gonna be some other guys. I

971
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 1: think it'll be interesting to see who gets the bulk

972
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 1: of the carries in the preseason in the running backspot.

973
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: Because if there's two guys in the whole league that

974
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: don't need preseason games, it's Leshaun McCoy and Frank Gore.

975
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 1: Those guys do not need carries and they're not gonna

976
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,879
Speaker 1: get them. So it's gonna if it's gonna happen. Yeah,

977
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: there's those guys. You're gonna find out. The coaches will

978
00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: find out what they need to find out in practic

979
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: This isn't all that in the preseason games when the

980
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: rest of us are watching, we're not gonna get to

981
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 1: see those guys play. That's why I want to come

982
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: to training camp at some practices. All right, we're gonna

983
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,280
Speaker 1: take a break. One hour in the books, Jim Kelly,

00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 1: is a different world. And I was gonna ask you

Speaker 1: too about we were talking yesterday about you and I

1063

Speaker 1: said that, you know, back early in your career, I

1064
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 1: had I gotta say this too. I called you a

1065
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 1: jackass because you had a lot to learn right here

Speaker 1: I called, and I told him, I said, laugh, I'm

1068
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 1: called him worse, but by the same token, you've come

1069
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: full fucking I got to ask you, how are you feeling?

1070
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good because everybody asked me, so I

1071
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 1: don't have to answer the question anymore. You can ask

1072
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: it for yourself, how you're feeling good. I'm feeling good. Yep,

1073
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 1: everything all my chest went't good and um, yeah, I

1074
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:33,800
Speaker 1: feel pretty up. Like you on your Jefford More. You

1075
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:37,240
Speaker 1: walk a little slower right right. So we're hobbling around

1076
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,839
Speaker 1: the studio just between breaks, and you're coming up on

1077
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 1: your thirty third annual this last weekend Jim Kelly Golf Tournament,

1078
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 1: thirty second annual Jim Kelly Football Camp. Yeah, coming up.

1079
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. You know what if I had when I,

1080
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 1: you know, started it. Never in a million years I

1081
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: thought that it would be coming up on that. I yeah,

1082
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 1: you shoot for goals ten and twenty, But I can't

1083
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 1: leave a thirty three golf term, which we just had,

1084
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 1: which makes such a huge difference for Western New York charities.

1085
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 1: I think this year we're probably gonna be handed out

1086
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:12,839
Speaker 1: two hundred soap and Western cherries probably shoot for over

1087
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: three hundred thousand dollars. And that's the handout. And the

1088
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 1: bottom line is when we'll get to football Camp equip

1089
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: But you know, when I travel, when we go over,

1090
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 1: you know, to meet some of the cherries, we have

1091
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 1: to lunch at iliod Apollos and we invite all of

1092
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: the recipients of the money over there, and we allow

1093
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 1: five people every year, different groups to come up and

1094
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:38,399
Speaker 1: share about their charity and what it means. And when

1095
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: you are there in your listening and you have some

1096
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:44,280
Speaker 1: of the people that are in charge of that particular

1097
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 1: foundation break down and cry because they're getting a check

1098
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: for five thousand dollars, then you realize why you're doing it.

1099
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 1: And that affects me because I understand why we're doing it. Unfortunately,

1100
00:50:55,960 --> 00:51:00,720
Speaker 1: I wish from my standpoint having a son who battle

1101
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 1: through and the illness and he's looking down on us now.

1102
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 1: But I get it. And being able to do that

1103
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 1: and make the money we do and the people here

1104
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:11,399
Speaker 1: in Western New York is unbelievable and I just love

1105
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: doing that. And then you talk about football Camp thirty

1106
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 1: two years and we had a lot of them ready

1107

00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 1: high school, and uh yeah, we're excited about it. It's

1112
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:38,400

1117
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: to saw all the records at Miami, so he didn't

1118

1133
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: but you cannot do it without. I mean, as you said,

Speaker 1: or whatever of other events you've had over the years.

1152
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 1: I have friends that I only know through those events,

Speaker 1: got friends and they've stuck around for for three decades.

1157
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,239

1166
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 1: Jupiter area, and that went for almost forty thousand. And

00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 1: brothers have been there from start to finish, and Steve,

1174
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:46,280
Speaker 1: I know, you know them all, and um, the big

1175
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:49,359
Speaker 1: attitude is, you know when you're going through tough time.

1176
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:51,400
Speaker 1: They've been here for me from start to finish and

1177
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to take them there and now, um,

1178
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 1: Greg Policini allowed us to be able to use his

1179
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 1: plane to go over there. And having guys like um,

1180
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:01,840
Speaker 1: you know, Paula Vallo and David Kerrent too of our

1181
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 1: biggest guys understand what it's all about. They want to

1182
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 1: be a part of it. So and bottom line, it

1183
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 1: goes to charity and that is the biggest part of

1184
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 1: it all. And I just praying thank God every day

1185
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 1: for the people. When you have Raizure in Western One

1186
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 1: of the reasons that it is so successful because you

1187
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 1: do auction off one of a kind things. It's not

1188
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: a jersey with with that signature, and it's a it's

1189
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 1: an experience. You give away hunts, you give away trips,

1190
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 1: to Napa. You're giving away yourself just to Nappa. You

1191
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:30,879
Speaker 1: auction the trips with your family. And I think that's

1192
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,320
Speaker 1: one of the things that's been unique about Kelly for

1193
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 1: Kids Foundation and Hunter's Hohope Foundation and all the things

1194
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 1: that you've done, is that you and you're emotionally invested

1195
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 1: and you're once these people buy one of these things,

1196
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:46,359
Speaker 1: it's not like, hey, thanks, we'll see you later. It's

1197
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 1: like they're part of the They're part of the extended

1198
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,239
Speaker 1: family that that nineties bills team. Now it's like five

1199
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: thousand people in it. And you're exactly right. The thing

1200
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 1: is people say, yeah, but you're getting a hunt for

1201
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 1: free and all that, or don't I go. You know what,

1202
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 1: this time of my life, there's sometimes where I'd rather

1203
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 1: stay at home. But I understand when I go on

1204
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:07,879
Speaker 1: these trips, Yeah they're fun. But I'll tell you what,

1205
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:11,799
Speaker 1: staying at home it's fun. I enjoyed just relaxing every

1206
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 1: once in a while. But I'm not ready to do

1207
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 1: that yet. Because if there's people out there that are

1208
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 1: willing to pay this amount to go on a trip

1209
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:21,840
Speaker 1: with me, or going a trip with Marino myself or

1210
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 1: Thurman and myself. Um, why not. If I'm if I'm

1211
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: healthy enough to do it, I'm gonna do it as

1212
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:29,879
Speaker 1: long as I can. With Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly,

1213
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 1: how do you get the commissioner of every couple of

1214
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:34,479
Speaker 1: years or so, knowing that he comes up, he's gonna

1215
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:36,720
Speaker 1: make news, he's gonna say something, everybody's gonna go crazy.

1216
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,760
Speaker 1: He did it again this year. Yeah, um, calm um.

1217
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 1: If he's not busy, which I know he always is,

1218
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 1: and even like this year, he said, Jim, if you

1219
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:47,839
Speaker 1: want me there, I'm there. I can't make a Sunday night,

1220
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 1: but I can be there for golf. I go, well,

1221
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 1: I love too, but I get it if you can't.

1222
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 1: And he's been here a couple of years for me

1223
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 1: and just um, god, blast him, tank from him. You

1224
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 1: know what I do. He's got a you know, a

1225
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 1: lot of people don't like the commission a lot of

1226
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:01,799
Speaker 1: football fans. And I've known him for thirty years. You've

1227
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:03,839
Speaker 1: known him for thirty or more years. He's a good,

1228
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:06,239
Speaker 1: solid guy. And I don't agree with everything he does,

1229
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 1: but people should know he's a quality guy. Of course.

1230
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,359
Speaker 1: I mean Jalkon agrees with everything. Donald Trump does, and

1231
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 1: James people love him, they don't, yeah, exactly. And then

1232
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell, Um, Yeah, of course he is. Because he is.

1233
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 1: He has to adhere to what the owners say. And

1234
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 1: even though the public might not like that, I get it,

1235
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,919
Speaker 1: some players might not agree with what you but he's

1236
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 1: been a solid guy for start to finish, and uh,

1237
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: I hope he should for many many more years. So

1238
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: you've got this camp coming up, thirty second annual. Do

1239
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 1: you remember anything about the first annual? UM a little

1240
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 1: bit there, but I don't. We did it in Saint

1241
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: Bonaventure University for first couple of years in Orient, Yeah,

1242
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 1: and there was I think it was like fifteen hundred

1243
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 1: on first camp, fifteen hundred on a second camp, and

1244
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 1: a second camp started like two days later. So I

1245
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 1: had like Boomera size and Marino those guys come to

1246
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 1: my camp, you know. And it was weird how you

1247
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 1: look back at it. And you did it overnight camp,

1248
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 1: so you're responsible for everybody knows dorms and that was talk.

1249
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 1: It was a sleepover camp, sleep over a camp. It

1250
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 1: was a camp. These the kids showed up on like

1251
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 1: a Monday or Sunday afternoon and they didn't get picked

1252
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 1: up till Friday afternoon and you're babysitting there. You will

1253
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 1: listen had like you did. You had like young football

1254
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 1: coaches who would grab They'd have twelve kids the whole week,

1255
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: eat with them, sleep in the dorm with them. Yep,

1256
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 1: take care of them, check then check them the whole

1257
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 1: nine yards. And it was what an operation it was.

1258
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 1: And that was like from day one. That was day one,

1259
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:40,240
Speaker 1: and it didn't take me very long to real life.

1260
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 1: I didn't want to do that for thirty two years,

1261
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 1: but it was fun. The biggest part for me that

1262
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:48,959
Speaker 1: I love about my football camp is you see being

1263
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,840
Speaker 1: able to go out there and play your flag football

1264
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 1: with your kids and be able to throw. I can't

1265
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:56,520
Speaker 1: do as much as I used to do. I don't

1266
00:58:56,560 --> 00:59:00,440
Speaker 1: play with the seniors anymore. I watched a lot, but

1267
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 1: I used to be out there and I used to

1268
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 1: compete and they always wanted to see it. You know

1269
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 1: how good of an arm I still have. But I

1270
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:07,280
Speaker 1: haven't been able to do that in a while. But

1271
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 1: the little kids, I just love going out there throwing

1272
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:13,440
Speaker 1: touch on pass. You try to make sure you give

1273
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 1: the ball. It's a seven play drive and not a

1274
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 1: two play because there's five other kids that won't get

1275
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 1: a pass from me. So I tried to work it

1276
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 1: in here and there. But that's the part I love.

1277
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 1: But the biggest part to let you guys know that

1278
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 1: I get the more thank you very much as our

1279
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 1: chalk talks from Tasher you've done. I don't know how

1280
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:36,919
Speaker 1: many Mark Kelso has done them. I mean this year

1281
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 1: we got of course Harrison doing it. We have Kenn

1282
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 1: Dorsey do it. I do it every year. But to

1283
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 1: have the parents sit in on those chalk talks and

1284
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:48,920
Speaker 1: listen to what we have to say. It's not all

1285
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 1: about football. It's about life and what you're doing, and

1286
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 1: what these kids have to look forward to, and what

1287
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 1: these kids have to look out for. And my favorite

1288
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 1: saying is you are who you hang with. Show me

1289
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 1: your engine. I'll show you your future. And your future

1290
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 1: is not very bright if you're hanging around with the

1291
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 1: wrong kids. So it's something that the parents love and

1292
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 1: it's all about the attitude. It starts at home with

1293
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 1: mom and dad. And that's why I tell all the

1294
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: parents are sitting in the audience. It starts at home

1295
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 1: with mom and dad. I got a friend from Lexington

1296
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 1: Kentucky whose son is twenty year so now, but ten

1297
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 1: years ago his son came here year after year after year.

1298
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:25,120
Speaker 1: You got a lot of repeat the campers, right people.

1299
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And also I got had them going to

1300
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 1: cost you brothers. I don't think Rob ever made it

1301
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 1: here campers as campers and uh also, um the camper

1302
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 1: that just was a quarterback for you to be a

1303
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, Um here, yep, he was here. Yeah, Joe, Yeah,

1304
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 1: and Joe went back all the time. And also Tony

1305
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 1: Dorsett's son, Anthony Dorshet, was here. I can name a

1306
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 1: couple of off top of my head. No, but I've

1307
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 1: had a number of them go to the NFL. And

1308
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:57,520
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm the derision, but it's pretty cool

1309
01:00:57,600 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 1: that day get to come to my camp, experience what

1310
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 1: I you know, what I do, and hopefully succeed. I remember,

1311
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 1: remind you it's gonna be at Williamsville North High School

1312
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 1: in Buffalo because we've got all kinds of construction. It

1313
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 1: just wasn't going to allow you to have the facilities

1314
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 1: the way you need them. How many campers do you expect?

1315
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 1: You know, I know it's not finished. The enrollments still open. Yep,

1316
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:19,880
Speaker 1: we have probably close to four hundred now when we

1317
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 1: do it here to stay when we get about five

1318
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:23,840
Speaker 1: fifty something like that. But again we still have a

1319
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:26,560
Speaker 1: couple more weeks and there's all the time, we're probably

1320
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:29,920
Speaker 1: fifty to seventy five. Always at the last minute anyways,

1321
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 1: because of school and different things going on. But hopefully

1322
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 1: we'll have somewhere around four to fifty this year. But uh,

1323
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:41,400
Speaker 1: those are kids whatever. If we got two, and for

1324
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:44,040
Speaker 1: the bulk of it, they're all Buffalo kids. No, I

1325
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:49,440
Speaker 1: get a Balkan m yes, but we give kids from Seattle, Washington, Ohio, Pennsylvania,

1326
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 1: and Florida, Kentucky. Um, yeah, candle out across the border,

1327
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:56,680
Speaker 1: which is pretty cool. So yeah, we're getting from everywhere

1328
01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 1: you get. The thing I noticed about your camp from

1329
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:02,320
Speaker 1: the very beginning, and I guess this is a reflection

1330
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 1: of you two, is most camps, they'll get out there

1331
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 1: and they'll run kids through drills, they'll be doing stuff

1332
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 1: like this, and what you do You group them up

1333
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:11,400
Speaker 1: into a team. Those guys are the guys for the

1334
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 1: whole week and they compete together. They and in my

1335
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 1: experience with youth football, the change that can happen and

1336
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:21,919
Speaker 1: just fine, I know, the whole season. It's unbelievable, even

1337
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:24,440
Speaker 1: in that five days of you know, the first day

1338
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 1: they don't even know each other. Second day, okay, I

1339
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 1: kind of like these guys. Third day, let's win. Fourth

1340
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:31,080
Speaker 1: day is like wow, this is awesome. In the fifth

1341
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 1: days like man, you guys are lifelong. But you know,

1342
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 1: right it should make friends. I mean, that's one of

1343
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 1: the things that we do opening Sugarmonies is you have

1344
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:41,520
Speaker 1: your team and you're doing a lot of teams that

1345
01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:44,439
Speaker 1: bring five, six, seven guys all come to the camp

1346
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:47,080
Speaker 1: because it's a good way to compete against other people,

1347
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:50,120
Speaker 1: but you're playing together and learn and your biggest One

Speaker 1: at Jim Kelly Football Camp dot com. Said Williamsville North

1360
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:26,560
Speaker 1: High School this year. All right, what do you think

1361
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 1: of the Bills? You've seen him a little bit, You've

1362
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 1: seen what they've done in the offseason. What do you think?

1363
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 1: I love it? Um, keep like we're just running on before.

1364
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 1: Is keeping guys healthy? Uh. You gotta keep your star

1365
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:39,919
Speaker 1: players healthy. And I know that's a key for every

1366
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:42,760
Speaker 1: team in the NFL. You can't have a you know,

1367
01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 1: one of your Josh Allen Shaw McCoy go down with injuries.

1368
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 1: I mean worried when Kyle Williams was here, Buchanan, Eric Wood,

1369
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:51,920
Speaker 1: I mean, all these guys, some of the guys that

1370
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 1: have already retired. But then you'll across the league. You

1371
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 1: can't have a Tom Brady go down. You must just

1372
01:03:57,040 --> 01:04:00,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowls gone, you know, goodbye. There's certain players you

1373
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:02,680
Speaker 1: have to keep healthy. And I know we've been hit

1374
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 1: with the injury bug a lot, but uh, I love

1375
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:08,440
Speaker 1: what I see. I love what coach mcdermots doing, Brandon

1376
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 1: being out there He's doing a great job on what

1377
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:14,200
Speaker 1: he's doing so far. So time will retell. It's hard

1378
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 1: to predict this time of year, you know what what

1379
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:18,600
Speaker 1: you like. But I've been to practices, I've seen it

1380
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:22,440
Speaker 1: and I love it. Yeah, we Murphis forever trying to

1381
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 1: get me to pump the brakes on mine. I am

1382
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 1: like the most optimistic guy, Like I am so big

1383
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 1: on this group, you know. And we watched Josh and

1384
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 1: and we watched him play last year and you saw

1385
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:40,160
Speaker 1: it too, the last half a last season. And I'm

1386
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 1: not saying it just because I saw him a lot

1387
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 1: and all that, because I was traveling around watching other

1388
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 1: players play around the league. I thought he was the

1389
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 1: most compelling player in the league to watch because of

1390
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 1: what he did with his legs. A lot of it

1391
01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:51,919
Speaker 1: he'd took off and he was he was a wrecking crew.

1392
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 1: But he in certain games in the last half of

1393
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 1: that season, he was the best player on the field

1394
01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 1: for either team, and man, you just had to watch him.

1395
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 1: Tor three percent. Was that because his excitement that he

1396
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:05,920
Speaker 1: showed later on, because the almost mentality is started to

1397
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:09,360
Speaker 1: get more confidence. Remember she was a rookie, but as

1398
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:12,440
Speaker 1: he went on, you just imagine him two three year

1399
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:15,680
Speaker 1: down the road. If he has the same coordinator year

1400
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:18,880
Speaker 1: after year, you have to have it. When talking Tom Brady,

1401
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 1: he said that was one of the biggest things, having

1402
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:23,400
Speaker 1: the same coaches all the time. So I'm excited what

1403
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 1: I see. I love what I see from him, the

1404
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:28,440
Speaker 1: athletic ability he has. I just hope he doesn't get

1405
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:31,600
Speaker 1: too much confidence in that ability. He has to make

1406
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 1: the big play all the time, knowing when you have

1407
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 1: to get down, when you have to go out of bound,

1408
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:40,320
Speaker 1: it's just ten extra yards worth it, right now, get

1409
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 1: down first intent, let's go for it. But yeah, I

1410
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:45,280
Speaker 1: love what I see, especially with his arms. So we've

1411
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:47,440
Speaker 1: had we've had people chiming in about, you know, all

1412
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: the stuff that's going on everything, And I said this,

1413
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 1: I said it yesterday and I've been saying it for

1414
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:54,880
Speaker 1: a long time. If you look back at the offense

1415
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 1: you ran, it was different in a lot of ways.

1416
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 1: And you were sitting here when I was talking a

1417
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 1: little bit ago. You had four Hall of famers on

1418
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:02,640
Speaker 1: the field when you were taking snaps at the height

1419
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 1: of that ka gun was James Loft and Andre Reid,

1420
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 1: you and Thurman and plus the you know guys who

1421
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 1: you and I think should be like Ken Hall should

1422
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 1: be in the Hall of Fame. Were those kind of guys.

1423
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 1: It was as much the guys as it was the

1424
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 1: kind of offense you were running in a lot of

1425
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 1: respects that made it so successful. It was and we

1426
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:22,960
Speaker 1: did over and over and over again. I'm talking when

1427
01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:25,080
Speaker 1: I shot over. I mean year after year after year.

1428
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 1: I had the same game involved over long periods of time,

1429
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:31,560
Speaker 1: and everybody knew our system. But they I just I

1430
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:34,120
Speaker 1: always Chase Steve, I always talking about Now I was brush.

1431
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 1: Should I have James Loft from Andre Reid. I had

1432
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:40,120
Speaker 1: Thermantas behind me, and I had Ken Hall, who would

1433
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 1: all think due time down the road will be there.

1434
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 1: But then you start looking. My hat goes off through

1435
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 1: a guy like Martin Leevie allowing me to call the players.

1436
01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:53,160
Speaker 1: But I had Ted Marsher Brod and Frank also or

1437
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 1: to Torchwig gave prep. You you're talking able to do

1438
01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 1: coaches party is three head coaches. Teddy Marsha Brods were

1439
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 1: very successful. Coach Marv Levy obviously is a Hall of

1440
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:03,960
Speaker 1: Fame head coach, and Frank is now a head coach.

1441
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:08,200
Speaker 1: Three head coaches in your ear. And the thing is

1442
01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 1: the good thing about when I was with Frank is

1443
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 1: when I would come off the field, he knew when

1444
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:16,560
Speaker 1: to talk with me, and he knew when to just

1445
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 1: get away. And the best thing about us is Frank

1446
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:22,320
Speaker 1: and I would talk before we talk to Ted Marshall

1447
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:24,960
Speaker 1: Broder during the course of our you know, our Wednesday

1448
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:27,560
Speaker 1: media and the first plays that we thought should begin here.

1449
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 1: Put him in the first plays that we don't like,

1450
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:31,840
Speaker 1: get him monitor because I'm not going to call that.

1451
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:34,800
Speaker 1: But the biggest thing for me, and I'm telling it

1452
01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:37,520
Speaker 1: like it is for coach Levey to put his job

1453
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 1: security on the line, allow me to call the players

1454
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:44,480
Speaker 1: if if I was unsuccessful. There was nobody to bring

1455
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:47,640
Speaker 1: recept the head coach in the quarterback. But I loved

1456
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:49,720
Speaker 1: that part. But I also knew I had a Roman,

1457
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:51,959
Speaker 1: and I loved it. And you know how my life

1458
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:55,160
Speaker 1: has been rocket Let's go, let's go, let's go. That's

1459
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:57,480
Speaker 1: my life off the field too, And I just love

1460
01:07:57,560 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 1: the way we did it. And I don't mean to

1461
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:02,240
Speaker 1: you know the things. I've always wanted him to be

1462
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 1: one of my receivers. And I can remember Bruce behaved

1463
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 1: every year. You're messing with my job security. You leave

1464
01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 1: task alone. We had bet storm training camp and I

1465
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 1: would pick Steve to go to Dutch. Anybody tris I

1466
01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:20,799
Speaker 1: knew I would win. We were getting beers after training

1467
01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:23,960
Speaker 1: Champ Dot of Cobblin's Pub in College of Task. Nobody

1468
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:26,680
Speaker 1: should ever recover him. I'm like, I have him to

1469
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 1: the receiver. Jim's gotta go. We were looking at the

1470
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:33,160
Speaker 1: video of your game against the Rams in St. Louis, right,

1471
01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:36,360
Speaker 1: you had the Rams when we couldn't fly back into

1472
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:39,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo because of the snowstorm. We landed at Niagara Falls. Yeah,

1473
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:41,559
Speaker 1: I remember beat the Rams in Saint That was when

1474
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:46,200
Speaker 1: the Rams were in Saint Louis. And uh, that was

1475
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:48,519
Speaker 1: great game, fun game. And I and I was telling

1476
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:51,679
Speaker 1: you I had one real screw up in that game

1477
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:53,920
Speaker 1: that I remember. We had this and I can't remember

1478
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:55,560
Speaker 1: the play now, but we had called it earlier in

1479
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:57,280
Speaker 1: the game, and you said, hey, don't do that, do

1480
01:08:57,439 --> 01:09:00,080
Speaker 1: this just as a side. So we did it. We

1481
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 1: were completed. It was a good play. So he came

1482
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:05,840
Speaker 1: back the nextally called it later in the game the

1483
01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:07,600
Speaker 1: same way. But you didn't give me the extra thing.

1484
01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 1: But I did the extra thing anyway, and he got whacked.

1485
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:15,479
Speaker 1: You weren't happy, Hello, I didn't. I would have caught

1486
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:17,720
Speaker 1: another touchdown pass though. If I would have donne the

1487
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:19,880
Speaker 1: right thing, I would have caught another. Well yeah, well

1488
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:22,240
Speaker 1: here's the bottom. You know. I'm twenty three years later.

1489
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:24,920
Speaker 1: I think he apologized twenty Yeah, I really yeah on

1490
01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:29,280
Speaker 1: everybody heard that, right, But no, he was like the

1491
01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:31,320
Speaker 1: rot run. We talked about rot run getting off the

1492
01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:34,120
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. And that's why Steve was so good

1493
01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:36,559
Speaker 1: a special team because it took two or three people

1494
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:39,360
Speaker 1: to stop him before he got to the kick return,

1495
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:42,240
Speaker 1: which is what you want. And for him, it was

1496
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:44,920
Speaker 1: almost like the New England Patriots say always you have

1497
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:47,120
Speaker 1: a little guy in the middle, that him break away,

1498
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:49,760
Speaker 1: and that was him. Yeah, he would be in the

1499
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:52,640
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. If he was my wide receiver. I

1500
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:55,000
Speaker 1: would have had three wide receivers in the Hall of Fame.

1501
01:09:57,120 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 1: All Right, you look good with both glasses. Fun game. Still,

1502
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:04,880
Speaker 1: somebody loses an eye. Yeah I almost did today. Hey Jim,

1503

01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:14,320
Speaker 1: also going to do the Crackdegg challenge with job. Oh yeah, yeah,

1507
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:17,240

1525
01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:11,639
Speaker 1: when the Hall of Famer walks him, does a show

1526
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:13,360
Speaker 1: with his Steve. I have to say, I'm not above

1527
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:16,560
Speaker 1: the guy lives jaded. I know he lives still and

1528
01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 1: throw away. I'm still I'm not jaded enough to take

1529
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:21,160
Speaker 1: that for granted. Hall of Famer. Yeah, come on, he's

1530
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:23,720
Speaker 1: a great show. You know, he's a he's more than

1531
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 1: just a buffalo guy now too. Yeah, you know, he's

1532
01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 1: he's a national figure. And I've said I said this

1533
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 1: to a couple of people that when I might have

1534
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:32,840
Speaker 1: said it to you, maybe maybe it was yesterday on

1535
01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:36,799
Speaker 1: the show. I actually I said, I've heard from guys

1536
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:41,280
Speaker 1: that he through the way, the kind of guy he

1537
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:43,240
Speaker 1: is and all the things that he does, he is

1538
01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:45,599
Speaker 1: kind of earning a lot of respect in the ranks

1539
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:47,439
Speaker 1: of the Hall of Fame guys when they go to

1540
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 1: camp and the luncheon. Yeah, um, he you know there,

1541
01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:56,920
Speaker 1: he's one of the guys that are kind of starting

1542
01:11:56,960 --> 01:12:00,479
Speaker 1: to you know, look to to, you know, make statement

1543
01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:02,840
Speaker 1: kind of thing. And I think he's earning a voice

1544
01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 1: of guys are listening to. So it's cool and I

1545
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:07,880
Speaker 1: you know, good for him. I'm I mean, you gotta

1546
01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:12,320
Speaker 1: be proud of the guy's And how about him stopping

1547
01:12:12,360 --> 01:12:15,920
Speaker 1: by the same hus Yeah. Nice football camp information for Jim.

1548
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:19,040
Speaker 1: Go to Jim Kelly football camp dot com. You typically

1549
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:21,160
Speaker 1: go there and do stuff. Yeah, I have on a

1550
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:23,439
Speaker 1: regular basis. I don't know that. Well, I won't do

1551
01:12:23,479 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 1: it this year because I'll be I'll be here, But yes,

1552
01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:30,000
Speaker 1: June twenty seventh through July first, and I've done it

1553
01:12:31,760 --> 01:12:35,000
Speaker 1: double digit times. Not I'm now I was like the

1554
01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:37,120
Speaker 1: thirty three years of the golf tournament, I've been at

1555
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:40,479
Speaker 1: least thirty one of them. I think I missed one

1556
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:44,720
Speaker 1: for my mom and dad's fiftieth anniversary, and then I

1557
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:47,639
Speaker 1: missed one for something else back in their early nineties

1558
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:52,280
Speaker 1: and when maybe I wasn't in town or something. Yeah,

1559
01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:54,200
Speaker 1: but I've been at all of those. But the camp,

1560
01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:57,720
Speaker 1: I think maybe ten or twelve, fourteen, fifteen of those

1561
01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 1: thirty two. Yeah. Hey, our Twitter poll today deals not

1562
01:13:01,439 --> 01:13:03,680
Speaker 1: with quarterbacks with running backs, and we want to know

1563
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:05,439
Speaker 1: what you say about our question of the day, and

1564
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:07,800
Speaker 1: it's I'm not gonna say it's confusing it running back,

1565
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:09,960
Speaker 1: but it certainly is interesting. And you would think that

1566
01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:13,479
Speaker 1: the Bills are eager to get some semblance of an

1567
01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:15,400
Speaker 1: answer of how they're going to play these running backs,

1568
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:17,800
Speaker 1: and we're interested in your answer as well. So that's

1569
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 1: a long way of saying our Twitter poll, we will

1570
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:22,599
Speaker 1: concede le Shaun McCoy will wind up with the first

1571
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:26,599
Speaker 1: with the most touches, catches and carries. And you may

1572
01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:29,519
Speaker 1: disagree with that concession. I get it, I understand that,

1573
01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:32,479
Speaker 1: but let's concede that just based on his status. So

1574
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:35,880
Speaker 1: after Lashawn McCoy, the question is which Bills running back

1575
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:38,840
Speaker 1: will lead the team in touches, catches and carries. Which

1576
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:41,120
Speaker 1: Bills running back after Shady McCoy. We got eleven hundred

1577
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 1: votes in so far on the Twitter poll. After Lashawn McCoy,

1578
01:13:44,360 --> 01:13:47,040
Speaker 1: which Bills running back will lead the team in touches? Well,

1579
01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 1: right now on our Twitter poll is pretty close. Third

1580
01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:52,080
Speaker 1: round draft pick Devin Singletary has forty one percent of

1581
01:13:52,200 --> 01:13:55,200
Speaker 1: the people saying he's the guy. Thirty seven percent say

1582
01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:58,960
Speaker 1: veteran Frank Gore, twenty two percent say t J. Yeldon,

1583
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:01,519
Speaker 1: former Jacksonville What do you think? Give us a call?

1584
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:03,679
Speaker 1: The phone line's open eight oh three h five fifty

1585
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:07,240
Speaker 1: toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty,

1586
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:09,320
Speaker 1: or you can tweet in a response We've got some

1587
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:11,479
Speaker 1: of them in on the tweet sheet right now, brought

1588
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:15,120
Speaker 1: to you by Corrigan Moving Systems. Jeremiah Ortez answers the

1589
01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 1: question Singletary, I hope because that would be a clear

1590
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:20,760
Speaker 1: indication that he's doing well and earning more touches. He

1591
01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:23,800
Speaker 1: is hopefully the future featured running back, and Brian Cooks

1592
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:25,840
Speaker 1: feels the same way. Brian cook tweets in I'll go

1593
01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:28,800
Speaker 1: with Singletary because of upside. Gore is a Hall of Famer,

1594
01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:32,519
Speaker 1: but Old he's there for leadership, first touches second. Yeldon

1595
01:14:32,680 --> 01:14:35,000
Speaker 1: is mainly a passing down back. Singletary, We'll have a

1596
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:37,800
Speaker 1: roll regardless of injury at a position with a one

1597
01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:41,040
Speaker 1: hundred percent injury rate with shady style and upside, well,

1598
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 1: there's a lot to chew on. There is Gore here

1599
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:47,800
Speaker 1: for leadership, first touches second, Steve, that's an argument you

1600
01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:51,560
Speaker 1: could make. Sean McDermott loves to have a leader in

1601
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:54,840
Speaker 1: every room, every position group. LaShaun McCoy was a team

1602
01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:57,760
Speaker 1: captain last year. But I think the fact that the

1603
01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:01,000
Speaker 1: Gore is another one of those guys and he's still

1604
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:04,880
Speaker 1: productive and he's got Hall of Fame credentials That says

1605
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:06,559
Speaker 1: a lot about what's going to happen in that room.

1606
01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 1: And I think that's a great He's a great move

1607
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:10,400
Speaker 1: to bring in because, as you said, last year, we

1608
01:15:10,439 --> 01:15:15,000
Speaker 1: saw him to do it. I yeah, he was brought

1609
01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:17,479
Speaker 1: in for leadership, no question about it. I do think

1610
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:19,640
Speaker 1: and I there's a lot of people out there that

1611
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:22,800
Speaker 1: have been poo pooing Leshaun McCoy's ability to play football again.

1612
01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:26,000
Speaker 1: They're all like trade Lashawn McCoy. LaShaun McCoy's the first

1613
01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:28,680
Speaker 1: guy out. Lashawn McCoy's making too much money. None of

1614
01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:32,040
Speaker 1: that's true. He's right, He's right where he should be

1615
01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:34,680
Speaker 1: salary wise. He is. He's making a good buck. But

1616
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:36,960
Speaker 1: he just he's earned it. He signed the deal, he's

1617
01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:39,720
Speaker 1: they haven't extended it, they haven't gone stupid with it.

1618
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:42,360
Speaker 1: He's making right in the wheelhouse for a number one

1619
01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:45,400
Speaker 1: back in the in the league. He's got great credentials.

1620
01:15:45,479 --> 01:15:48,720
Speaker 1: He played behind a horrific offensive line. Last year they

1621
01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:51,719
Speaker 1: were a mess and in an offense with a rookie

1622
01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:56,120
Speaker 1: quarterback after having started four different guys at the position. Yeah,

1623
01:15:56,200 --> 01:15:59,080
Speaker 1: their offense was a train wreck. Last year. They struggled,

1624
01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:00,960
Speaker 1: and it wasn't because they didn't know what they were

1625
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:02,839
Speaker 1: doing is because they had different you know, the quarterback

1626
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:06,080
Speaker 1: position was a revolving door for a good part of

1627
01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:08,400
Speaker 1: the first half of the season. And when Josh Allen

1628
01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:10,200
Speaker 1: got in, like I said, I've been harper on this time,

1629
01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:15,200
Speaker 1: they were two plays away, two plays away from going

1630
01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:17,040
Speaker 1: what six and four has hit? With him as a starter?

1631
01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:18,880
Speaker 1: What was it five? And what was it five and three?

1632
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:21,880
Speaker 1: What were they with him as a start? Four? And yeah,

1633
01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:23,679
Speaker 1: I mean they were going to be a winning football

1634
01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:27,120
Speaker 1: team with him as the starting quarterback if two plays

1635
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:30,479
Speaker 1: go differently in the season. So Josh, you know, their

1636
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:34,080
Speaker 1: offense was a mess, and Lashawn McCoy was I think

1637
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:37,320
Speaker 1: really that I think the poster child for why things

1638
01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:40,400
Speaker 1: didn't go well, or our guy who didn't produce. And

1639
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:42,400
Speaker 1: if you know you watched him every game, you watched

1640
01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:46,360
Speaker 1: every snap last year, Murphew, he'd get the ball and

1641
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:49,680
Speaker 1: dodge you know, I mean he was getting the ball

1642
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:52,800
Speaker 1: and sidestep in somebody there was no room, and that's

1643
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:55,120
Speaker 1: you know, I I don't think that was him. I

1644
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:57,479
Speaker 1: don't think that was his faulty. So we're talking about

1645
01:16:57,520 --> 01:16:59,559
Speaker 1: running backs, We're gonna talk to one in the running backs.

1681
01:18:47,240 --> 01:18:49,920

1682
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:53,880
Speaker 1: feel like it's just it's kind of like a Olympic thing,

1683
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:55,920

1689
01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:15,400
Speaker 1: kept it real with me throughout the whole process. They

1690
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:18,720
Speaker 1: worn over my grandmother, which was big to me that

1691
01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:21,360
Speaker 1: you know. Like I said, they kept it real with me,

1692
01:19:21,479 --> 01:19:23,840
Speaker 1: and they showed it. They really wanted me, you know. Um,

1693
01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:26,280
Speaker 1: I wanted to go, always wanted So I was like,

1698
01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:38,800
Speaker 1: like ten minutes if that? Did you ever think that

1699
01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:42,519
Speaker 1: you might benefited from going anywhere else? Bigger school? The

1700
01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:45,200
Speaker 1: only thing I would say, if I had the numbers

1701
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:46,800
Speaker 1: that I had at a bigger school, I would have

1702
01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:49,519
Speaker 1: got a Higsman for sure. Yeah. Other than that, that's it.

1703
01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:52,280
Speaker 1: They had a Highsman campaign for you at that right

1704
01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:55,439
Speaker 1: in your senior year, right, my junior junior year. Yeah,

1705
01:19:55,520 --> 01:19:57,000
Speaker 1: You're like, what did you think of that? Were you

1706
01:19:57,080 --> 01:19:59,040
Speaker 1: on board with all that. Yeah, you know that was big,

1707
01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:02,040
Speaker 1: you know, you know, coming from a smaller school, they

1708
01:20:02,120 --> 01:20:04,760
Speaker 1: pushing for that. My numbers showed that, my game showed that,

1709
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:08,160
Speaker 1: so why not you know, So, UM, I definitely appreciate

1710
01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:09,920
Speaker 1: no for that. That shows that there was behind me

1711
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:12,680
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. And they had billboards and they had

1712
01:20:12,760 --> 01:20:17,280
Speaker 1: little cards for motor right. Oh yeah those cards you have. Um,

1713
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:20,000
Speaker 1: I think it only had one for myself and I

1714
01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:22,240
Speaker 1: gave one to my mother. Okay, okay, what did the

1715
01:20:22,280 --> 01:20:24,080
Speaker 1: cars say? Did they have something? Um? It was just

1716
01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:27,639
Speaker 1: motor you know. I had my number on there, bigger

1717
01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:31,000
Speaker 1: than you know, like a match mash car. Yeah, cool,

1718
01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:36,000
Speaker 1: we got One'll have to find out. How was it like,

1719
01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:39,960
Speaker 1: because you really had a prolific career. One of the

1720
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:43,519
Speaker 1: reasons was that you were productive, and because you were productive,

1721
01:20:43,560 --> 01:20:45,719
Speaker 1: they kept handing you the ball. They't kif kept giving

1722
01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:49,559
Speaker 1: you the ball a ton and he had like seven

1723
01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:52,600
Speaker 1: hundred carries and college is a load. Oh yeah, you

1724
01:20:52,680 --> 01:20:54,400
Speaker 1: know that just shows you know, I could carry the

1725
01:20:54,439 --> 01:20:56,720
Speaker 1: little game in the game out. You know, I can

1726
01:20:56,760 --> 01:20:59,280
Speaker 1: stay on the field and I can make plays. So

1727
01:21:00,240 --> 01:21:02,920
Speaker 1: I believe that's a big part of it. I wonder

1728
01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:05,439
Speaker 1: when you were drafted. After you were drafted, the Bill

1729
01:21:05,479 --> 01:21:08,200
Speaker 1: GM Brandon Bean talking about how when they went and

1730
01:21:08,240 --> 01:21:10,120
Speaker 1: work you out, they worked you out a lot of

1731
01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:14,040
Speaker 1: pass passing anymore, right, catching passes, pass protection, what the

1732
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:16,080
Speaker 1: whole package was. And it was really just you know,

1733
01:21:16,439 --> 01:21:18,720
Speaker 1: catching passes, you know, for the most part. And we

1734
01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:20,600
Speaker 1: did a few drills just you know, as far as

1735
01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:24,280
Speaker 1: getting handoffs, but mainly running routs. And was it did

1736
01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:26,439
Speaker 1: that feel comfortable for you? Yeah? Natural that I was

1737
01:21:26,560 --> 01:21:28,759
Speaker 1: natural with. I mean I ran rountes every day in practice,

1738
01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:30,559
Speaker 1: even in high school. I caught the ball a lot,

1739
01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:33,519
Speaker 1: you know, just towards you know, um in college towards

1740
01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:35,759
Speaker 1: the end of my career, just with the game scheme

1741
01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:37,519
Speaker 1: and everything just didn't have me coming out of the

1742
01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:41,040
Speaker 1: back fitted you just hand it off, give us a rundown.

1743
01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:43,280
Speaker 1: What did you think when you walked in the running

1744
01:21:43,320 --> 01:21:46,840
Speaker 1: back room and Lashawn McCoy's in there, Frank Gore's in there,

1745
01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:50,120
Speaker 1: t J yelling and shows up. How tell us what

1746
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:53,280
Speaker 1: you're doing in that room? And so first walking in,

1747
01:21:53,479 --> 01:21:57,400
Speaker 1: just seeing le Sean and Frank, those two guys I

1748
01:21:57,520 --> 01:21:59,720
Speaker 1: watched growing up. You know, I'm in high school I'm

1749
01:21:59,840 --> 01:22:02,800
Speaker 1: I'm playing a litter league football seam guys weekend and

1750
01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:05,200
Speaker 1: week out, making plays. And you got TJ. When I

1751
01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:07,559
Speaker 1: was in high school, he was in college doing this thing.

1752
01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:11,040
Speaker 1: So really just you know, coming in, earning respect and

1753
01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:14,120
Speaker 1: earning my place in there, and just coming to work

1754
01:22:14,160 --> 01:22:17,280
Speaker 1: every day and learning all I can learn. So so far,

1755
01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:19,800
Speaker 1: it's been going pretty good well for me. We've been

1756
01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:21,800
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what your role is, what all

1757
01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 1: of the roles are. In fact, let me show you

1758
01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:26,479
Speaker 1: our Twitter poll today deals with the running back room.

1759
01:22:26,479 --> 01:22:28,120
Speaker 1: We're trying to figure out how it's gonna got. We

1760
01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:30,599
Speaker 1: don't know, by the way, but we're asking Bills fans

1761
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:33,240
Speaker 1: after Shady, which Bills running back will lead the team

1762
01:22:33,280 --> 01:22:36,439
Speaker 1: in touches. Forty one percent say you, thirty seven percent

1763
01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:39,240
Speaker 1: say Frank Gore, twenty two percent say t J. Yeldon,

1764
01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:41,000
Speaker 1: I guess you'd be all right with that, right if

1765
01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 1: you were the one to get most touches either before

1766
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:46,639
Speaker 1: or after shitty McCoy. Right, if it plays out that way,

1767
01:22:47,160 --> 01:22:49,080
Speaker 1: I guess that's how I'm supposed to play out. So

1768
01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:51,200
Speaker 1: we just got to wait and see, Yeah we do right, then,

1769
01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 1: that's driving us, driving me crazy. I want to know.

1770
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:55,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna know that. No, I mean not from you,

1771
01:22:55,479 --> 01:22:58,400
Speaker 1: but just it's hard to envision all four of you guys,

1772
01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:00,320
Speaker 1: its plus the others. It's an artist pair and some

1773
01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:03,680
Speaker 1: other guys kind of jobs roles for all of you

1774
01:23:03,800 --> 01:23:05,160
Speaker 1: to say, right, do you feel that way it all

1775
01:23:05,200 --> 01:23:07,920
Speaker 1: you have any anxiety and no anxiety on you know,

1776
01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:10,200
Speaker 1: like I said, before Hyria plays out, That's how I'm

1777
01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:12,519
Speaker 1: supposed to play out. You know, whatever my role is,

1778
01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:15,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be ready to play my role. Well. Actually,

1779
01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 1: one more question about your college career. Thirty eight games,

1780
01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:22,160
Speaker 1: sixty six touchdowns. Yeah, that's ridiculous. That's almost two per game.

1781
01:23:22,240 --> 01:23:24,719
Speaker 1: How did you do that? Just like I said, just preparing,

1782
01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:28,479
Speaker 1: you know that played a big part. Just preparing weekend,

1783
01:23:28,560 --> 01:23:30,720
Speaker 1: week out, just hard work. Talking about day and I'm

1784
01:23:30,720 --> 01:23:32,800
Speaker 1: talking about like when you're coming off the field, it

1785
01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:34,960
Speaker 1: gotta be you gotta be hurting, like you gotta be

1786
01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:38,040
Speaker 1: real tired. So you know that played a big role

1787
01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:40,599
Speaker 1: in it. And then like I said before, I'm God blessed.

1788
01:23:40,720 --> 01:23:42,240
Speaker 1: You know, he blessed me with a lot of talent,

1789
01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:43,960
Speaker 1: And that was the other half of it. Yeah, let

1790
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:45,639
Speaker 1: me give you'll give you a quick rundown for people

Speaker 1: but I got most of the little So that's how

1803
01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:32,720
Speaker 1: that played up. With Devin Singletary, Bills running back, third

1804
01:24:32,840 --> 01:24:35,439
Speaker 1: round draft pack, How would you describe your running style? Devin?

1805
01:24:35,479 --> 01:24:37,920
Speaker 1: What kind of running back? Around? I feel? I say

1806
01:24:37,960 --> 01:24:39,240
Speaker 1: I can do it all. And when I say I

1807
01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:40,720
Speaker 1: could do it all, I mean I can run through you,

1808
01:24:40,920 --> 01:24:43,599
Speaker 1: I can run around you. I can make you miss whatever,

1809
01:24:44,040 --> 01:24:45,720
Speaker 1: and maybe you need me to do. I feel like

1810
01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:47,720
Speaker 1: I can make it that happen. But making your miss

1811
01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:50,560
Speaker 1: part is what we see on the highlight video. In

1812
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:53,160
Speaker 1: fact that the GM Brandon mean talked about how when

1813
01:24:53,160 --> 01:24:55,080
Speaker 1: he would put on tape watch you, not highlights, but

1814
01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:57,559
Speaker 1: watch your games, he would just kind of get lost

1815
01:24:57,600 --> 01:24:59,400
Speaker 1: watching you. Somebody, could you do make people miss you?

1816
01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:03,240
Speaker 1: The cliche is you can make people messing a phone booth. Yeah,

1817
01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:04,960
Speaker 1: there's a video of that. You can do that, right?

1818
01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:08,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I believe so. I believe the tape shows it.

1819
01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:12,519
Speaker 1: So seeing what I could do it this? Have you

1820
01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:14,800
Speaker 1: done it out there on practice field yet? That kind

1821
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:16,840
Speaker 1: of thing? I mean, it's it's kind of hard to

1822
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:19,080
Speaker 1: do that right now because he's just trying to tack it. Yeah,

1823
01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:21,960
Speaker 1: you know, we went helmets, so I gott await the

1824
01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:24,679
Speaker 1: training count. How's the passing game going on me? Because

1825
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:26,560
Speaker 1: you didn't yet, like I said, yet, didn't have that

1826
01:25:26,640 --> 01:25:28,439
Speaker 1: many receptions. They didn't use that for you, and the

1827
01:25:28,479 --> 01:25:30,640
Speaker 1: Bills were a little concerned about that before they draft you.

1828
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:32,680
Speaker 1: But once they worked you out that right now he

1829
01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:34,559
Speaker 1: can catch it. How's it going for you so far

1830
01:25:35,040 --> 01:25:37,360
Speaker 1: in the passing game? I believe it's going well for me.

1831
01:25:38,200 --> 01:25:40,000
Speaker 1: You know, the ball throw my way, I catch it.

1832
01:25:40,160 --> 01:25:42,479
Speaker 1: So I'm just trying to keep that up. Ye've been

1833
01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:44,280
Speaker 1: here about what a month or so since the end

1834
01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:46,200
Speaker 1: of the draft. Oh yeah, are you ready? You got

1835
01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:48,880
Speaker 1: one more week next week with the three day mini camp,

1836
01:25:49,200 --> 01:25:50,920
Speaker 1: and then you guys spend another week, don't you, rookie,

1837
01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:53,439
Speaker 1: spend another week here. Eventually you'll get to go home

1838
01:25:53,600 --> 01:25:55,760
Speaker 1: and in June early July, Yeah, get to go home

1839
01:25:55,840 --> 01:25:58,040
Speaker 1: and get ready for training. Count Yeah. Where do you

1840
01:25:58,080 --> 01:26:00,400
Speaker 1: work out at home? Um? I'll probably to be with

1841
01:26:00,600 --> 01:26:05,320
Speaker 1: uh in Miami. Um, with Pete Mrito, you know, and

1842
01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:07,479
Speaker 1: they're getting in there. This thing is building. We've had

1843
01:26:07,560 --> 01:26:09,040
Speaker 1: him on the show years ago and even just kind

1844
01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:10,800
Speaker 1: of getting started. But he's got a nice little group

1845
01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:12,760
Speaker 1: down there. Here are some of the other guys you'll

1846
01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:15,800
Speaker 1: work out with. M I believe Shady's gonna be down there.

1847
01:26:15,880 --> 01:26:19,200
Speaker 1: I believe Frank is gonna be down there. And sometimes

1848
01:26:19,200 --> 01:26:22,439
Speaker 1: it's like Dalvin Cook. You see Jordan Howard and a

1849
01:26:22,479 --> 01:26:26,280
Speaker 1: few other guys. You specialize in backs running backs by Murrito. Um, yeah,

1850
01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:28,360
Speaker 1: it's a lot of backs, but you see all all

1851
01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:31,080
Speaker 1: positions down there. I see a lot of DB's old liming.

1852
01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:33,880
Speaker 1: So Devin you mentioned how you know there's no hitting,

1853
01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:37,080
Speaker 1: no pad yet in this uh in these OTAs, how

1854
01:26:37,120 --> 01:26:38,360
Speaker 1: do you get ready for that when you go to

1855
01:26:38,439 --> 01:26:41,120
Speaker 1: work out in that five week period in between next

1856
01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:43,880
Speaker 1: week's mini camp and training camp. How do you get

1857
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:46,040
Speaker 1: ready to get hit and have contact, you know, go

1858
01:26:46,160 --> 01:26:47,960
Speaker 1: through what you would be doing as far as you know,

1859
01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:51,360
Speaker 1: handoffs or you know, running routes, taking the handoff, and

1860
01:26:51,439 --> 01:26:54,040
Speaker 1: then just being in shape. You know, that's the biggest thing.

1861
01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:56,479
Speaker 1: If you're in shape, that takes care of you know,

1862
01:26:56,600 --> 01:26:59,080
Speaker 1: half of the problem right there. So that's the main thing,

1863
01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:01,680
Speaker 1: just getting in shaping in the seat. Bills reached up

1864
01:27:01,760 --> 01:27:04,240
Speaker 1: and grabbed it in the third round this past year.

1865
01:27:04,400 --> 01:27:06,320
Speaker 1: Did you feel like that was where you expected to go?

1866
01:27:06,400 --> 01:27:08,799
Speaker 1: Were you happy with where you fell on the draund? Honestly,

1867
01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:12,920
Speaker 1: I heard a lot. I heard first round, heard fifth round.

1868
01:27:13,160 --> 01:27:15,280
Speaker 1: To me, it adn't really matter because I felt like

1869
01:27:15,360 --> 01:27:17,519
Speaker 1: all I needed was an opportunity. Once I got my

1870
01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:19,200
Speaker 1: foot in the door, I'm gonna be ready to work

1871
01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:23,160
Speaker 1: and you know, make plays. So and what about off

1872
01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:24,880
Speaker 1: the field, you've been airs we said about a month,

1873
01:27:24,920 --> 01:27:26,760
Speaker 1: a little bit more than a month. These days are

1874
01:27:26,840 --> 01:27:29,479
Speaker 1: long for you rookies, especially you're here when the veterans

1875
01:27:29,520 --> 01:27:31,240
Speaker 1: are here. Very often have you had a chance to

1876
01:27:31,280 --> 01:27:33,320
Speaker 1: look around Buffalo, Western New York at all? Enjoy our

1877
01:27:33,360 --> 01:27:37,400
Speaker 1: wonderful weather not not quite black white with the weather. Yeah,

1878
01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:40,320
Speaker 1: what's what's next? What are you looking forward to when

1879
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:43,800
Speaker 1: training camp starts? Just you know, just getting a real

1880
01:27:43,880 --> 01:27:46,040
Speaker 1: feel of the of the league. I would say, as

1881
01:27:46,080 --> 01:27:49,479
Speaker 1: far as what really happens when you went pasts, things

1882
01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:51,840
Speaker 1: of that nature. So that's really what I'm looking for.

1883
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:54,920
Speaker 1: Is so we've got a lot of information, and we've

1884
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:57,559
Speaker 1: watched Sean McDermott the way he runs his program, big

1885
01:27:57,680 --> 01:28:00,599
Speaker 1: team guy, wants the guys to build and stuff. How

1886
01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:02,760
Speaker 1: is that going? What do you see with how this

1887
01:28:02,920 --> 01:28:05,720
Speaker 1: team has come together? You know, because nobody knew each

1888
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:08,680
Speaker 1: other five six, seven weeks ago. What I see you

1889
01:28:08,840 --> 01:28:13,240
Speaker 1: so far, it's definitely a big team thing. Um, the vets, um,

1890
01:28:13,720 --> 01:28:15,640
Speaker 1: you know, they started talking to us more and more

1891
01:28:15,680 --> 01:28:18,719
Speaker 1: as it went on. It's not like any you're a rookie,

1892
01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:21,080
Speaker 1: I'm not talking to you. Um, the rookies, of course

1893
01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:23,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna click because we spent most of the time together.

1894
01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:26,280
Speaker 1: But um, it's definitely a lot of bunding going on

1895
01:28:26,439 --> 01:28:29,400
Speaker 1: and and God's getting real close. So I'm just ready

1896
01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:31,320
Speaker 1: to see how how it all players out. Yeah, once

1897
01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:33,720
Speaker 1: we get going going too, I'm eager to see that. Yeah,

Speaker 1: gets the snaps, who gets the touches. If we feel

1953
01:31:22,160 --> 01:31:25,120
Speaker 1: that way, how do you think Devin Singletary feels, Steve

1954
01:31:25,200 --> 01:31:27,479
Speaker 1: He's got to be scratching his head just like everybody else.

1955
01:31:27,520 --> 01:31:30,280
Speaker 1: I would think, Yeah, particularly think about it. He's a

1956
01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:34,840
Speaker 1: third round draft pick. He steps in. He's got t J. Yelden,

1957
01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:37,280
Speaker 1: there's been four years in the National Football League, came

1958
01:31:37,320 --> 01:31:40,080
Speaker 1: out of Alabama as a really gifted back and has

1959
01:31:40,120 --> 01:31:42,400
Speaker 1: caught a lot of passes in the National Football League.

1960
01:31:42,880 --> 01:31:46,560
Speaker 1: Next to him, you've got Frank Gore, who's got fourteen

1961
01:31:46,760 --> 01:31:51,000
Speaker 1: thousand rushing yards in the NFL's played for what is

1962
01:31:51,000 --> 01:31:54,120
Speaker 1: the sixteen seasons or something. I mean, the guy's going

1963
01:31:54,160 --> 01:31:55,840
Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame. And next to him he

1964
01:31:55,880 --> 01:32:00,439
Speaker 1: got Lashawn McCoy, who is maybe the US back in

1965
01:32:00,479 --> 01:32:07,040
Speaker 1: the room. Um, that's you gotta sit there and quiet

1966
01:32:07,080 --> 01:32:09,360
Speaker 1: to yourself from and stack yourself up against it as

1967
01:32:09,360 --> 01:32:12,200
Speaker 1: a kid that I mean, you gotta have some confidence

1968
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:14,519
Speaker 1: that you're gonna be able to kind of hang in

1969
01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:17,320
Speaker 1: there with that room. And then then Devin Singletary seems

1970
01:32:17,320 --> 01:32:18,920
Speaker 1: to be doing that. I mean, he's he's ready to

1971
01:32:18,960 --> 01:32:22,240
Speaker 1: compete for it. But think about that that room. Walking

1972
01:32:22,280 --> 01:32:24,920
Speaker 1: in there as a third round draft pick. You walk

1973
01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:26,960
Speaker 1: in the room hall of famer, maybe a Hall of

1974
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:29,840
Speaker 1: Famer of seven year veteran the league. Where do I sit?

1975
01:32:31,240 --> 01:32:32,760
Speaker 1: Where do I go? A guy came out of the

1976
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:35,040
Speaker 1: league out of Alabama. Yeah, as a lead back out

1977
01:32:35,080 --> 01:32:38,200
Speaker 1: of Alabama and he's seven year league. It's yeah, that's

1978
01:32:38,200 --> 01:32:41,120
Speaker 1: a pretty pretty tough room. Now. Most of our respondents

1979
01:32:41,120 --> 01:32:43,120
Speaker 1: and we'll get back to the Twitter poll when they can.

1980
01:32:43,720 --> 01:32:45,880
Speaker 1: Most of them say Devin Singletary will get the second

1981
01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:48,320
Speaker 1: most touches at least for the Bills. And they do that,

1982
01:32:48,479 --> 01:32:50,120
Speaker 1: I believe based on the fact that he is a

1983
01:32:50,200 --> 01:32:52,599
Speaker 1: third round draft pick. Does a third round draft pick

1984
01:32:52,680 --> 01:32:54,200
Speaker 1: come back, come in with that in the back of

1985
01:32:54,320 --> 01:32:56,479
Speaker 1: his mind. Look, they drafted me in the third round,

1986
01:32:56,640 --> 01:32:58,360
Speaker 1: they moved up to draft me in the third round.

1987
01:32:58,640 --> 01:33:00,439
Speaker 1: They liked me. I'm gonna I'm gonna be here. Or

1988
01:33:00,520 --> 01:33:02,519
Speaker 1: does he worry every day about his position? Do you

1989
01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:05,800
Speaker 1: think he did? Yeah, you worry he's worried. Third run

1990
01:33:05,880 --> 01:33:10,599
Speaker 1: draft pick work? Absolutely, absolutely, he's Yeah, listen that you're

1991
01:33:10,640 --> 01:33:12,400
Speaker 1: in an NFL team. They're gonna if you don't help

1992
01:33:12,479 --> 01:33:14,880
Speaker 1: him play more than this team because everybody else in

1993
01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:18,000
Speaker 1: that room is signed by the same group, you know. Yeah,

1994
01:33:18,080 --> 01:33:19,519
Speaker 1: it's not like, well, I don't I want to keep

1995
01:33:19,560 --> 01:33:22,040
Speaker 1: him because this other guy I didn't sign. Everybody in

1996
01:33:22,080 --> 01:33:25,920
Speaker 1: the on the team, virtually everybody except making There's like

1997
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:30,479
Speaker 1: two or three guys were signed by Brandon Bean and

1998
01:33:30,520 --> 01:33:37,920
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott Shady obviously, I think Lorenzo and Jerry right, Yeah,

1999
01:33:38,000 --> 01:33:40,000
Speaker 1: I was talking about the running back room. Yeah, there's

2000
01:33:40,040 --> 01:33:41,759
Speaker 1: like three guys in the whole team that weren't signed

2001
01:33:41,800 --> 01:33:44,400
Speaker 1: by those guys. So they get credit for whatever they do.

2002
01:33:44,800 --> 01:33:47,320
Speaker 1: Whoever they keep, they get credit for it. So it's

2003
01:33:47,360 --> 01:33:51,320
Speaker 1: not like you know you're you're not, but you know,

2004
01:33:51,439 --> 01:33:53,880
Speaker 1: it's not like you're more valuable because we signed you

2005
01:33:53,960 --> 01:33:55,720
Speaker 1: and we didn't sign that guy that has nothing to

2006
01:33:55,800 --> 01:33:58,000
Speaker 1: do with it. So they get credit for whoever they keep.

2007
01:33:58,080 --> 01:33:59,840
Speaker 1: They get t J yelling and come in and all

2008
01:33:59,880 --> 01:34:02,800
Speaker 1: the sudden rush for nineteen hundred yards. That's a feather

2009
01:34:02,880 --> 01:34:05,120
Speaker 1: in their cat. Yeah, but there's more of an investment

2010
01:34:05,120 --> 01:34:06,960
Speaker 1: in a third round pick than there isn't a t J.

2011
01:34:07,120 --> 01:34:10,639
Speaker 1: Yelden right for sure? Yeah, But is that difference more

2012
01:34:10,760 --> 01:34:13,400
Speaker 1: so enough that if you got a guy that he

2013
01:34:13,479 --> 01:34:18,720
Speaker 1: comes down to final cuts, is that difference going to

2014
01:34:18,840 --> 01:34:21,519
Speaker 1: make you think, all right, we're gonna keep the player

2015
01:34:21,640 --> 01:34:24,639
Speaker 1: we don't like more just because we have more invested

2016
01:34:24,680 --> 01:34:26,519
Speaker 1: in him. You know you're going to keep the guy

2017
01:34:26,600 --> 01:34:30,200
Speaker 1: we don't like because don't like or maybe like better. Yeah.

2018
01:34:30,200 --> 01:34:32,400
Speaker 1: I do think if you invested a third round pick

2019
01:34:32,439 --> 01:34:34,120
Speaker 1: in somebody, you're not going to cut that guy. And

2020
01:34:34,200 --> 01:34:36,840
Speaker 1: that's up that has gone seriously wrong. And I don't

2021
01:34:36,880 --> 01:34:40,360
Speaker 1: think it will with seriously wrong. How about not serious.

2022
01:34:40,360 --> 01:34:42,080
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be seriously wrong to have t J.

2023
01:34:42,240 --> 01:34:46,679
Speaker 1: Yelden outplayed Devin Singletary. That's not seriously wrong. They wouldn't

2024
01:34:46,680 --> 01:34:49,240
Speaker 1: cut him. They wouldn't not cut him, put him on

2025
01:34:49,240 --> 01:34:51,160
Speaker 1: the practice squad if they could, they can sneak. But

2026
01:34:51,240 --> 01:34:52,479
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, you know what I'm saying, though,

2027
01:34:52,520 --> 01:34:57,120
Speaker 1: I don't think I think people in this case you

2028
01:34:59,600 --> 01:35:06,240
Speaker 1: there and they gotta win. If Devin Singletary is deemed

2029
01:35:07,320 --> 01:35:10,920
Speaker 1: to give them less of a chance to win, to win,

2030
01:35:11,080 --> 01:35:14,320
Speaker 1: then t J. Yeldon Devin Singletary will not be on

2031
01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:17,160
Speaker 1: the team and T J. Yeldon will and I don't

2032
01:35:17,200 --> 01:35:20,439
Speaker 1: care how close to it is. They're gonna keep the

2033
01:35:20,520 --> 01:35:23,160
Speaker 1: guy that gives them the best chance to win every

2034
01:35:23,240 --> 01:35:26,160
Speaker 1: Sunday throughout the year, and if it comes down, that's

2035
01:35:26,200 --> 01:35:27,920
Speaker 1: the way it is now. There's a lot a lot

2036
01:35:27,960 --> 01:35:29,639
Speaker 1: of others. You don't kut a third round pick, don't

2037
01:35:29,640 --> 01:35:31,840
Speaker 1: even you don't want to say that, Oh, you don't

2038
01:35:31,880 --> 01:35:34,719
Speaker 1: want to. The guy would have to be an absolute disaster,

2039
01:35:34,880 --> 01:35:37,760
Speaker 1: an abject failure to be cut as a third round here.

2040
01:35:37,800 --> 01:35:39,040
Speaker 1: I know you don't want to. You don't if he

2041
01:35:39,080 --> 01:35:41,559
Speaker 1: don't what if he can't make the team. This isn't

2042
01:35:41,560 --> 01:35:45,040
Speaker 1: the two thousand two Buffalo Bills where they're three and

2043
01:35:45,120 --> 01:35:47,400
Speaker 1: thirteen and their talents three and thirteen. I guess that's

2044
01:35:47,439 --> 01:35:50,639
Speaker 1: the right year, is it. I don't remember. This isn't

2045
01:35:50,640 --> 01:35:53,519
Speaker 1: a three and thirteen roster, you know. I agree? Yeah,

2046
01:35:54,520 --> 01:35:56,519
Speaker 1: it's hard. It's gonna be harder to make this squad

2047
01:35:56,600 --> 01:35:59,760
Speaker 1: at every position. It's like coming on here is you know,

2048
01:36:00,120 --> 01:36:03,599
Speaker 1: think about think about da Kuan Johnson, the draft pick

2049
01:36:03,880 --> 01:36:09,040
Speaker 1: from Miami safety. That's a hard that's a hard lineup

2050
01:36:09,040 --> 01:36:11,600
Speaker 1: to crack with. Micah Hyde and Jordan poy are on

2051
01:36:11,640 --> 01:36:16,000
Speaker 1: the squad. You know what I'm saying. I think a

2052
01:36:16,080 --> 01:36:19,640
Speaker 1: third round pick by this group gets more than the

2053
01:36:19,720 --> 01:36:21,720
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt. I don't think he's I don't

2054
01:36:21,760 --> 01:36:24,000
Speaker 1: think they would cut him. I don't, Nor do I

2055
01:36:24,040 --> 01:36:26,519
Speaker 1: think they'll have any reason. I don't think they're gonna

2056
01:36:26,520 --> 01:36:27,960
Speaker 1: have to be any reason to release I think it's

2057
01:36:28,040 --> 01:36:29,519
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna come down to it. I think

2058
01:36:29,800 --> 01:36:31,559
Speaker 1: here's the thing. They're gonna have a role to play.

2059
01:36:32,200 --> 01:36:35,960
Speaker 1: Whoever fills the role that evolves from the top two guys,

2060
01:36:36,080 --> 01:36:38,920
Speaker 1: or top three guys, or top four whatever, however many

2061
01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:42,120
Speaker 1: running backs they're going to keep, those three, four, and

2062
01:36:42,280 --> 01:36:44,960
Speaker 1: five are going to have other roles to play. Special teams,

2063
01:36:45,080 --> 01:36:48,760
Speaker 1: kick returns, all of that stuff, passing, game, pass pro,

2064
01:36:49,160 --> 01:36:51,639
Speaker 1: all of that stuff is going to come into the mix,

2065
01:36:51,800 --> 01:36:53,559
Speaker 1: and it'll come down to who can do that better.

2066
01:36:53,840 --> 01:36:55,640
Speaker 1: So there's a lot more than just handing the guy

2067
01:36:55,720 --> 01:36:57,280
Speaker 1: the ball and having him run with it that goes

2068
01:36:57,320 --> 01:36:59,920
Speaker 1: into that mix. So the guys that aren't gonna be

2069
01:37:00,120 --> 01:37:03,720
Speaker 1: than one and two touch leaders on the team in

2070
01:37:03,800 --> 01:37:06,439
Speaker 1: the run game are going to have to do other things. Yeah,

2071
01:37:06,760 --> 01:37:09,200
Speaker 1: and the touches is what gets us to our Twitter poll?

2072
01:37:09,240 --> 01:37:10,559

2100
01:38:21,360 --> 01:38:23,120
Speaker 1: catch the ball. That's why I think this is a

2101
01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:25,680
Speaker 1: better question. I disagree with Giuseppe f. Why is that

2102
01:38:25,760 --> 01:38:27,479
Speaker 1: a better question? You need to explain that to me.

2103
01:38:27,520 --> 01:38:30,360
Speaker 1: And Brian Greer tweets this, and I wanted to say Singletary,

2104
01:38:30,479 --> 01:38:33,400
Speaker 1: but realistically, Gore is a future Hall of Fame player.

2105
01:38:33,720 --> 01:38:36,040
Speaker 1: I cannot see him losing touches to a rookie. But

2106
01:38:36,080 --> 01:38:38,960
Speaker 1: if that happens, that means Singletary is the steal of

2107
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:41,519
Speaker 1: the draft. Well maybe or just better than Frank Gore.

2108
01:38:41,960 --> 01:38:45,480
Speaker 1: I can see Frank Gore at age thirty six possibly

2109
01:38:45,640 --> 01:38:51,000
Speaker 1: potentially losing touches to a rookie. Steve. In fact, I think, Look,

2110
01:38:51,280 --> 01:38:53,240
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want for anybody to get released.

2111
01:38:53,240 --> 01:38:55,080
Speaker 1: But if you are asking me to put odds on

2112
01:38:55,160 --> 01:38:57,200
Speaker 1: which running back has a better chance to get released,

2113
01:38:57,200 --> 01:39:00,280
Speaker 1: Frank Gore or Devin Singletary, call me crazy. I would

2114
01:39:00,280 --> 01:39:02,720
Speaker 1: say Frank Gore might get released before the third round pick.

2115
01:39:03,160 --> 01:39:04,840
Speaker 1: I might be crazy to say that, but I believe

2116
01:39:04,880 --> 01:39:08,479
Speaker 1: that it all depends on It all depends on what

2117
01:39:08,720 --> 01:39:11,440
Speaker 1: each of them offers. If Frank Store is a known commodity,

2118
01:39:11,800 --> 01:39:13,559
Speaker 1: but he is a thirty six year old running back,

2119
01:39:13,600 --> 01:39:15,479
Speaker 1: who is a thirty six year old running back. He's

2120
01:39:15,479 --> 01:39:19,439
Speaker 1: not a running backslash kick returner, running backslash special teams player,

2121
01:39:19,520 --> 01:39:23,880
Speaker 1: running backslash split receiver. He is a running back. And

2122
01:39:24,040 --> 01:39:25,920
Speaker 1: that is all he's gonna give you. He's not going

2123
01:39:25,960 --> 01:39:27,920
Speaker 1: to give you anything else. So if he's down further

2124
01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:30,040
Speaker 1: on the depth chart and is losing touches or is

2125
01:39:30,080 --> 01:39:33,360
Speaker 1: not in that role as the second guy to Lashaw

2126
01:39:33,439 --> 01:39:36,280
Speaker 1: McCoy or even the first guy in the offense, there's

2127
01:39:36,280 --> 01:39:38,000
Speaker 1: not much room for him. Can I just say this,

2128
01:39:38,040 --> 01:39:39,760
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna stop. You said he's not going to

2129
01:39:39,840 --> 01:39:41,840
Speaker 1: give you much more. Here's what he can give you

2130
01:39:41,920 --> 01:39:45,799
Speaker 1: which does have value to the Bills. Leadership, grit, toughness,

2131
01:39:46,120 --> 01:39:48,400
Speaker 1: and that I believe is one of the big reasons

2132
01:39:48,439 --> 01:39:50,720
Speaker 1: why he is on this roster now, why they brought

2133
01:39:50,840 --> 01:39:53,920
Speaker 1: him in because of leadership, grit, toughness, and that will

2134
01:39:53,920 --> 01:39:56,200
Speaker 1: be a consideration with Frank Gore. How much are we

2135
01:39:56,240 --> 01:39:58,559
Speaker 1: getting out of him in those areas. I think that'll

2136
01:39:58,560 --> 01:40:00,880
Speaker 1: be a consider I'll agree with you there, Frank Gorge

2137
01:40:00,960 --> 01:40:03,479
Speaker 1: got more grit than a bag of sand. I saw

2138
01:40:03,560 --> 01:40:05,439
Speaker 1: him play last year and I cannot tell you how

2139
01:40:05,439 --> 01:40:07,680
Speaker 1: impressed I was with the toughness that he ran with

2140
01:40:07,800 --> 01:40:10,200
Speaker 1: and the physicality that he ran with and the aggression.

2141
01:40:10,240 --> 01:40:14,040
Speaker 1: You know how it is aggressive. He's that kind of

2142
01:40:14,120 --> 01:40:15,920
Speaker 1: guy and he ran that way as a thirty five

2143
01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:17,960
Speaker 1: year old last year in Miami, and the Bills think

2144
01:40:18,000 --> 01:40:19,599
Speaker 1: he can do it. Here's a thirty six year old

2145
01:40:19,800 --> 01:40:21,559
Speaker 1: and I want to get because we got a lot

2146
01:40:21,600 --> 01:40:24,519
Speaker 1: of talk about these running backs. I gotta Brian rosigenall

2147
01:40:24,560 --> 01:40:26,479
Speaker 1: tweets in on the second tweet sheet and I got it.

2148
01:40:26,640 --> 01:40:29,479
Speaker 1: There's a ton in this tweet as well. Singletary he

2149
01:40:29,560 --> 01:40:32,920
Speaker 1: says will lead after Leshaw, McCoy will lead the team

2150
01:40:32,960 --> 01:40:35,880
Speaker 1: and touches. McBean will want to play with his new

2151
01:40:35,960 --> 01:40:39,280
Speaker 1: toy and the preseason is an early and early season

2152
01:40:39,400 --> 01:40:42,160
Speaker 1: is an audition for Yeldon's future here. I think Gore

2153
01:40:42,360 --> 01:40:44,720
Speaker 1: is here to replace Shady as the bell cow. I

2154
01:40:44,800 --> 01:40:48,000
Speaker 1: think that's crazy talk. If he Leshawn hits a wall

2155
01:40:48,080 --> 01:40:52,040
Speaker 1: this year again or gets hurt early, Gore's future depends

2156
01:40:52,160 --> 01:40:56,120
Speaker 1: on that. Frank Gore wasn't here to in my opinion,

2157
01:40:56,320 --> 01:41:00,360
Speaker 1: was not here brought here to replace Leshaw McCoy. Gore

2158
01:41:00,520 --> 01:41:02,599
Speaker 1: was here brought here just as what you said, as

2159
01:41:02,600 --> 01:41:05,080
Speaker 1: a leader and a guy who still can produce in

2160
01:41:05,160 --> 01:41:07,479
Speaker 1: the running game. He wasn't here to replace Anybody's here

2161
01:41:07,520 --> 01:41:09,640
Speaker 1: to get a roster spot, to be a guy who

2162
01:41:09,680 --> 01:41:16,080
Speaker 1: can contribute. And Sean mc and Brandon Bean, I mean

2163
01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:20,280
Speaker 1: he doesn't. He doesn't have anything to do with who's

2164
01:41:20,280 --> 01:41:22,080
Speaker 1: gonna play on Sunday. He has to do with who's

2165
01:41:22,080 --> 01:41:24,640
Speaker 1: on the final fifty three. The general manager does. But

2166
01:41:24,720 --> 01:41:28,679
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott decides who plays. He's going to decide whether

2167
01:41:29,200 --> 01:41:31,000
Speaker 1: t J. Yelden is going to carry the ball in

2168
01:41:31,040 --> 01:41:33,400
Speaker 1: the preseason or Devin Singletary is going to carry the

2169
01:41:33,439 --> 01:41:35,640
Speaker 1: ball in the preseason, or Frank Gore's gonna get He

2170
01:41:35,800 --> 01:41:38,320
Speaker 1: decides all of that. This is all this is about

2171
01:41:39,520 --> 01:41:43,360
Speaker 1: which of these guys at running back spot are gonna

2172
01:41:43,400 --> 01:41:45,800
Speaker 1: come together and give the Bills everything they need in

2173
01:41:45,840 --> 01:41:47,559
Speaker 1: the running game in the past, game in the past,

2174
01:41:47,640 --> 01:41:51,160
Speaker 1: protection game and leadership in the room off the field,

2175
01:41:51,240 --> 01:41:53,920
Speaker 1: and an example in the weight room, and a guy

2176
01:41:54,080 --> 01:41:58,200
Speaker 1: who can teach, maybe a guy like Devin Singletary how

2177
01:41:58,240 --> 01:42:01,759
Speaker 1: it is to be a pro. LaShaun McCoy and Frank

2178
01:42:01,840 --> 01:42:03,680
Speaker 1: Gore are doing it as well as anybody in the

2179
01:42:03,760 --> 01:42:06,400
Speaker 1: National Football League right now. They've got they're the longest

2180
01:42:06,439 --> 01:42:09,519
Speaker 1: ten They're the longest tenured guys. They're the guys that

2181
01:42:09,600 --> 01:42:12,559
Speaker 1: have done it the best the longest. That's who Devin

2182
01:42:12,680 --> 01:42:16,280
Speaker 1: Singletary should be sitting there just watching. Sounds like he is,

2183
01:42:16,439 --> 01:42:18,599
Speaker 1: and that's why you got him in here. Yeah, that's

2184
01:42:18,600 --> 01:42:20,639
Speaker 1: a part of the reason Frank Gore's brought in. An addition,

2185
01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:22,760
Speaker 1: you got a thirty one year old running back and

2186
01:42:22,840 --> 01:42:25,120
Speaker 1: Lashawan McCoy as well, he might be at the end

2187
01:42:25,160 --> 01:42:30,639
Speaker 1: of his Frank Gore's thirty six. They know stuff about

2188
01:42:30,720 --> 01:42:33,479
Speaker 1: Frank Gore that makes them think they need that guy

2189
01:42:34,520 --> 01:42:36,559
Speaker 1: as the show goes along. I love this Twitter poll

2190
01:42:36,640 --> 01:42:38,920
Speaker 1: more and more, I really do, because this thing it's

2191
01:42:38,960 --> 01:42:41,400
Speaker 1: like an onion. This question right, there are several layers,

2192
01:42:41,479 --> 01:42:43,519
Speaker 1: several different ways it could go. I don't have a

2193
01:42:43,600 --> 01:42:45,800
Speaker 1: real good sense of which way it's how it's gonna

2194
01:42:45,800 --> 01:42:50,040
Speaker 1: wind up. We know the benefits of the top three Singletary, Gore,

2195
01:42:50,200 --> 01:42:52,639
Speaker 1: and Shady, and we know what some of the drawbacks

2196
01:42:52,880 --> 01:42:56,720
Speaker 1: might be inexperienced, too much experienced age, and I find

2197
01:42:56,760 --> 01:42:59,280
Speaker 1: it a pretty interesting intrigue. It is. Really it's kind

2198
01:42:59,320 --> 01:43:02,120
Speaker 1: of catching me off or two because we were did

2199
01:43:02,160 --> 01:43:05,240
Speaker 1: you propose this yet? I think it's my completely Actually,

2200
01:43:05,880 --> 01:43:07,599
Speaker 1: actually it was a surprise to me when I heard

2201
01:43:07,640 --> 01:43:10,160
Speaker 1: it is. But I'll take credit for it. So if

2202
01:43:10,200 --> 01:43:11,760
Speaker 1: you're saying it's an onion, I'm gonna come up with

2203
01:43:11,800 --> 01:43:14,599
Speaker 1: my own food that this is lasagna, this running back.

2204
01:43:14,920 --> 01:43:16,600
Speaker 1: There's a lot of layers and all of them are

2205
01:43:16,680 --> 01:43:19,160
Speaker 1: really good, and you got to pick the one you

2206
01:43:19,240 --> 01:43:22,840
Speaker 1: think is. There's a lot to discuss. It's complex question

2207
01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:25,439
Speaker 1: because and like anything, they're trying to build a team.

2208
01:43:25,680 --> 01:43:28,320
Speaker 1: They're not trying to assimilate talent. They're not trying to

2209
01:43:28,400 --> 01:43:30,519
Speaker 1: pick the best guys here that they're trying to get

2210
01:43:30,600 --> 01:43:33,479
Speaker 1: guys to fill certain roles that they have outlined as

2211
01:43:33,520 --> 01:43:36,519
Speaker 1: the perfect roles for these running backs on this team.

2212
01:43:36,800 --> 01:43:39,000
Speaker 1: You got a lead cow running back, you got a

2213
01:43:39,040 --> 01:43:44,120
Speaker 1: secondary running back who maybe get a bunch of cut touches.

2214
01:43:44,680 --> 01:43:46,400
Speaker 1: But do you want a guy that's just like the

2215
01:43:46,520 --> 01:43:48,479
Speaker 1: first guy or do you want a guy that's completely

2216
01:43:48,600 --> 01:43:51,519
Speaker 1: different than the first guy? Do you want to a

2217
01:43:51,680 --> 01:43:55,640
Speaker 1: hammer as opposed to an electric eel? And you know

2218
01:43:55,720 --> 01:43:58,519
Speaker 1: it is the lead running back, And you know that's

2219
01:43:58,520 --> 01:44:00,640
Speaker 1: the thing. It's what kind of you can describe them

2220
01:44:00,640 --> 01:44:02,200
Speaker 1: any way you want. Do you want Frank Gore a

2221
01:44:02,240 --> 01:44:06,280
Speaker 1: physical inside runner, or Lashawan McCoy who's a slippery scatback,

2222
01:44:06,479 --> 01:44:09,800
Speaker 1: wide receiver kind of guy who's an athlete. And then

2223
01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:11,680
Speaker 1: who's the third guy? What's he gonna do? And by

2224
01:44:11,680 --> 01:44:13,760
Speaker 1: the way, the third guy, most of his snaps are

2225
01:44:13,800 --> 01:44:16,800
Speaker 1: gonna be on kickoff, kickoff return, They're gonna be on

2226
01:44:16,920 --> 01:44:19,439
Speaker 1: punt punt return. But he is gonna get in on

2227
01:44:19,600 --> 01:44:22,439
Speaker 1: certain situations given his skill set, whatever that may be.

2228
01:44:23,160 --> 01:44:24,880
Speaker 1: And then you got another guy who's gonna be a

2229
01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:29,560
Speaker 1: kick returner maybe right, So they're trying to build this

2230
01:44:29,680 --> 01:44:32,360
Speaker 1: team and these four guys all have These guys got

2231
01:44:32,439 --> 01:44:36,439
Speaker 1: some skills, I mean, had proven skills in the NFL.

2232
01:44:36,680 --> 01:44:39,000
Speaker 1: Three of them have got have had put together nice

2233
01:44:39,479 --> 01:44:41,240
Speaker 1: Hall of wan a Hall of Fame career, and all

2234
01:44:41,240 --> 01:44:43,000
Speaker 1: the way down to t J. Yeldon, who's put together

2235
01:44:43,080 --> 01:44:47,080
Speaker 1: a nice career. I mean, that's this is a really

2236
01:44:47,160 --> 01:44:50,880
Speaker 1: tough question. And we don't get to watch him practice,

2237
01:44:50,880 --> 01:44:52,320
Speaker 1: and the only time we get to watch him play,

2238
01:44:52,400 --> 01:44:54,479
Speaker 1: I mean, Frank Gore's gonna carry the ball three times

2239
01:44:54,520 --> 01:44:59,840
Speaker 1: in the preseason three Shady will get four. That's it.

2240
01:45:01,720 --> 01:45:05,479
Speaker 1: We don't how do you know? They That is a

2241
01:45:05,640 --> 01:45:08,120
Speaker 1: tough evaluation and we're doing it from like one hundred

2242
01:45:08,160 --> 01:45:12,400
Speaker 1: miles away, right well, yeah, just feel like one hundred

2243
01:45:12,400 --> 01:45:16,080
Speaker 1: miles away in you know, June sixth. Yeah, you know, so,

2244
01:45:16,520 --> 01:45:20,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think this is a sneaky, sneaky

2245
01:45:20,160 --> 01:45:23,000
Speaker 1: good topic. I'm with you. It snuck up on me.

2246
01:45:23,040 --> 01:45:25,400
Speaker 1: I didn't think. I didn't Again, I didn't think much

2247
01:45:25,400 --> 01:45:27,360
Speaker 1: of this topic yesterday. I love it today because there's

2248
01:45:27,360 --> 01:45:28,960
Speaker 1: so many different ways to look at it. Mike and

2249
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:31,080
Speaker 1: Amherst on the Line has some thoughts on this. Mike,

2250
01:45:31,680 --> 01:45:33,720
Speaker 1: what do you think which bills running back we'll lead

2251
01:45:33,720 --> 01:45:36,439
Speaker 1: the team? I gotta go with on on this one. Um,

2252
01:45:37,080 --> 01:45:40,519
Speaker 1: you picked a running back in the third round. What

2253
01:45:40,640 --> 01:45:43,960
Speaker 1: have we learn from this league with Kareem Hunt. You know,

2254
01:45:44,080 --> 01:45:47,280
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara. You've got to use these guys when they're fresh,

2255
01:45:47,600 --> 01:45:49,880
Speaker 1: and who knows, you might have got the fifth or

2256
01:45:49,920 --> 01:45:51,920
Speaker 1: tenth best running back in the league. I mean, we've

2257
01:45:51,960 --> 01:45:54,920
Speaker 1: never seen him before in the league yet. That's a

2258
01:45:54,960 --> 01:45:57,920
Speaker 1: good point. I mean, Alvin Kamara came from nowhere for

2259
01:45:57,920 --> 01:46:00,519
Speaker 1: a lot of people, fifth round draft pick. But it

2260
01:46:00,640 --> 01:46:05,240
Speaker 1: all comes down to this, mike. What does he have

2261
01:46:05,400 --> 01:46:09,160
Speaker 1: in the tank? What's he best at? Alvin Kamara can't

2262
01:46:09,280 --> 01:46:11,920
Speaker 1: be a guy who lines up in the backfield and

2263
01:46:11,960 --> 01:46:15,120
Speaker 1: you hand him the football. That's not what He's okay

2264
01:46:15,200 --> 01:46:17,360
Speaker 1: at that at the NFL level. But I'll tell you

2265
01:46:17,479 --> 01:46:20,240
Speaker 1: what he's elite when you put him in there and

2266
01:46:20,360 --> 01:46:22,439
Speaker 1: you send him out on a pass route, or you

2267
01:46:22,560 --> 01:46:24,400
Speaker 1: stretch him out and you split him out wide, you

2268
01:46:24,439 --> 01:46:25,880
Speaker 1: put him on the wing, and you put him in

2269
01:46:25,920 --> 01:46:28,479
Speaker 1: the pass protection or pass route. You know, in the

2270
01:46:28,520 --> 01:46:31,599
Speaker 1: pass concept, he's elite at that. He may be okay

2271
01:46:31,760 --> 01:46:34,439
Speaker 1: at getting the handoff, but he's elite at that. I'm

2272
01:46:34,479 --> 01:46:38,320
Speaker 1: not Devin Singletary may be different at different at other things.

2273
01:46:38,760 --> 01:46:40,840
Speaker 1: He may be better at getting the ball handed to

2274
01:46:41,000 --> 01:46:42,680
Speaker 1: him than he is catching it. He may not be

2275
01:46:42,760 --> 01:46:45,759
Speaker 1: as good running routes or getting concepts in the passing

2276
01:46:45,840 --> 01:46:48,160
Speaker 1: game as he is just handing the football or on

2277
01:46:48,200 --> 01:46:50,120
Speaker 1: the pitch routes or on a quick screen something like that.

2278
01:46:50,760 --> 01:46:53,080
Speaker 1: They've got to find out what he does best and

2279
01:46:53,560 --> 01:46:56,120
Speaker 1: use him that way if he can get on the field,

2280
01:46:56,240 --> 01:46:58,120
Speaker 1: and if he can, that's how they're gonna use him.

2281
01:46:58,120 --> 01:46:59,680
Speaker 1: They'll find out what he does best, and that's what

2282
01:46:59,760 --> 01:47:02,120
Speaker 1: they'll have him doing. Same thing with Frank Gore, same

2283
01:47:02,160 --> 01:47:04,559
Speaker 1: thing with Lashawn McCoy. But I'm with you on one

2284
01:47:04,600 --> 01:47:08,719
Speaker 1: thing he said, Mike, use him while he's fresh, because

2285
01:47:08,800 --> 01:47:11,439
Speaker 1: this league choose up running backs and spits him out.

2286
01:47:11,520 --> 01:47:16,560
Speaker 1: Frank Gore is an outlier, and quite the outlier for

2287
01:47:16,640 --> 01:47:18,560
Speaker 1: that reason. He's been around for a long time and

2288
01:47:18,680 --> 01:47:23,439
Speaker 1: is still productive. So anything else, Mike, No, I guess

2289
01:47:23,520 --> 01:47:25,880
Speaker 1: what you said would be my point as to why

2290
01:47:25,920 --> 01:47:27,640
Speaker 1: we got to use him up. I mean, see what

2291
01:47:27,720 --> 01:47:30,880
Speaker 1: he's good at? Yeah, yeah, I agree, they'll find out.

2292
01:47:31,080 --> 01:47:33,240
Speaker 1: They're probably already getting a good idea of what he's

2293
01:47:33,280 --> 01:47:37,240
Speaker 1: good at. Is he good enough to be really really good?

2294
01:47:37,439 --> 01:47:39,920
Speaker 1: Is he good enough to demand Brian Dable says man,

2295
01:47:39,960 --> 01:47:41,200
Speaker 1: I got to find a way to get this guy

2296
01:47:41,320 --> 01:47:44,040
Speaker 1: the ball. That's when you're good enough when your offensive

2297
01:47:44,080 --> 01:47:46,280
Speaker 1: coordinator says, I gotta get this guy on the field

2298
01:47:46,320 --> 01:47:48,120
Speaker 1: and get the ball to him. Thanks Mike. If you're

2299
01:47:48,160 --> 01:47:53,519
Speaker 1: Brian Dable and it is August first, third fifth, first

2300
01:47:53,560 --> 01:47:56,280
Speaker 1: preseason game, August eighth, and you're thinking to yourself, I

2301
01:47:56,600 --> 01:47:58,880
Speaker 1: got some talented running backs there, How am I going

2302
01:47:58,960 --> 01:48:02,320
Speaker 1: to use them in this these preseason games starting on

2303
01:48:02,439 --> 01:48:04,400
Speaker 1: August eighth, Thursday, August say, you know what I would do,

2304
01:48:04,479 --> 01:48:05,640
Speaker 1: and I want to know what you would do too.

2305
01:48:06,040 --> 01:48:09,800
Speaker 1: I would say, Shady, get a baseball cap, have a seat,

2306
01:48:10,120 --> 01:48:13,080
Speaker 1: Frank Love you, get a baseball cap, have a seat. Devin,

2307
01:48:13,360 --> 01:48:15,920
Speaker 1: you got the whole first half today and in week two,

2308
01:48:16,160 --> 01:48:18,479
Speaker 1: and maybe in week yeah, in week three, and maybe

2309
01:48:18,520 --> 01:48:21,479
Speaker 1: we'll let you sit in week four preseason. In other words,

2310
01:48:21,760 --> 01:48:24,120
Speaker 1: to your point and to Mike the caller's point, I

2311
01:48:24,240 --> 01:48:25,599
Speaker 1: want to see what. I want to see a lot

2312
01:48:25,640 --> 01:48:29,559
Speaker 1: of Devin Singletary, a lot of touches, a lot of situations, rundowns, passing.

2313
01:48:29,600 --> 01:48:30,840
Speaker 1: Now is I want to see a lot of him,

2314
01:48:30,880 --> 01:48:33,040
Speaker 1: A ton of him in preseason because you know what

2315
01:48:33,200 --> 01:48:35,720
Speaker 1: as you said, the other two Gore and Shady can do, right,

2316
01:48:35,920 --> 01:48:38,840
Speaker 1: that's the way to play. They're known commodities. Yeah, but

2317
01:48:38,960 --> 01:48:41,280
Speaker 1: you're right. You want to find out what he can do.

2318
01:48:41,400 --> 01:48:45,720
Speaker 1: And here's here's how it evolves in a condensed version.

2319
01:48:45,760 --> 01:48:47,920
Speaker 1: It takes weeks, but you start out and you go

2320
01:48:48,000 --> 01:48:50,439
Speaker 1: through drill work and stuff, and the receivers and running

2321
01:48:50,479 --> 01:48:53,439
Speaker 1: backs sometimes work together. Like even running backs will come

2322
01:48:53,439 --> 01:48:55,240
Speaker 1: out and maybe take some one on ones. Running Backs

2323
01:48:55,280 --> 01:48:57,759
Speaker 1: will certainly do one on ones in in a passing

2324
01:48:57,880 --> 01:49:01,759
Speaker 1: situation with linebackers, pop out of the backfield, the linebacker

2325
01:49:01,760 --> 01:49:03,200
Speaker 1: will pick him up and they'll go one on one

2326
01:49:03,280 --> 01:49:07,799
Speaker 1: like that. And so you'll see Devin Singletary take drills

2327
01:49:07,840 --> 01:49:10,160
Speaker 1: like that. He'll take one on one pass routes. He'll

2328
01:49:10,960 --> 01:49:15,080
Speaker 1: he'll do pass pro, he'll do releases against linebacker. He'll

2329
01:49:15,120 --> 01:49:18,519
Speaker 1: do everything he can't run inside, outside, inside, release from

2330
01:49:18,560 --> 01:49:21,760
Speaker 1: the from the backfield, outside, release from the backfield, all

2331
01:49:21,800 --> 01:49:23,920
Speaker 1: of this stuff. They're gonna see him do it. And

2332
01:49:24,000 --> 01:49:25,760
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some things that he does where he

2333
01:49:25,840 --> 01:49:27,760
Speaker 1: gets open bank catches the ball, and you know what,

2334
01:49:27,880 --> 01:49:30,000
Speaker 1: another time he does the same thing, gets open on

2335
01:49:30,080 --> 01:49:32,240
Speaker 1: a different route from that spot, and you'll start to

2336
01:49:32,320 --> 01:49:34,759
Speaker 1: get the idea that, hey, this guy from that spot,

2337
01:49:35,280 --> 01:49:38,120
Speaker 1: we can't cover him. So then you'll say, okay, here's

2338
01:49:38,120 --> 01:49:39,679
Speaker 1: the play that we use at that spot, and they'll

2339
01:49:39,680 --> 01:49:42,120
Speaker 1: start running that play and sure enough it works in

2340
01:49:42,200 --> 01:49:44,240
Speaker 1: that and they say, okay, let's give it to him

2341
01:49:44,240 --> 01:49:46,280
Speaker 1: in the preseason, see what he can do. And that's

2342
01:49:46,320 --> 01:49:48,599
Speaker 1: how it evolves. And then you get in the preseason.

2343
01:49:48,640 --> 01:49:51,479
Speaker 1: Nobody can still cover the guy, but you may not

2344
01:49:51,560 --> 01:49:53,639
Speaker 1: see it because you know the quarterback might get sacked,

2345
01:49:53,680 --> 01:49:56,000
Speaker 1: you might you know, the ball of the snap exchange

2346
01:49:56,120 --> 01:49:58,160
Speaker 1: or whatever whatever, and you never get a chance to

2347
01:49:58,200 --> 01:49:59,840
Speaker 1: see it. As fans, you see him off. You know

2348
01:50:00,040 --> 01:50:01,679
Speaker 1: he's out there, but you didn't he didn't get the ball,

2349
01:50:02,280 --> 01:50:04,960
Speaker 1: but you're still watching him when the ball's not thrown

2350
01:50:05,040 --> 01:50:07,160
Speaker 1: to him and he can't be So then all of

2351
01:50:07,160 --> 01:50:08,960
Speaker 1: a sudden, you do have a guy like Alvin Kamara.

2352
01:50:09,040 --> 01:50:12,599
Speaker 1: When the season kicks off, he's on the field running

2353
01:50:12,640 --> 01:50:14,720
Speaker 1: out of that spot and they can't cover him and

2354
01:50:14,760 --> 01:50:18,519
Speaker 1: they've never seen the guy before. So that's how this

2355
01:50:18,680 --> 01:50:21,000
Speaker 1: evolves and what you're hoping for, And that's why I'm

2356
01:50:21,080 --> 01:50:24,720
Speaker 1: with you, Murph Devin Singletary. He got seven hundred and

2357
01:50:25,439 --> 01:50:29,200
Speaker 1: fourteen carries in college. He's gonna have ninety in the

2358
01:50:29,280 --> 01:50:33,560
Speaker 1: three games. You know, I'm exaggerating. He's gonna have a

2359
01:50:33,640 --> 01:50:37,200
Speaker 1: ton agaf probably the first three games. Right, I'm with you,

2360
01:50:37,400 --> 01:50:40,880
Speaker 1: He's fifteen touches a game. Yeah. Here's a tweet from

2361
01:50:40,880 --> 01:50:44,160
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet the Corrigan Moving Systems tweet sheet from

2362
01:50:44,160 --> 01:50:47,280
Speaker 1: Tom Lavelle, the question after Shady, which Bills running back

2363
01:50:47,280 --> 01:50:49,800
Speaker 1: will lead the team and touches? Tom Lavelle says it'll

2364
01:50:49,840 --> 01:50:53,120
Speaker 1: depend on how quickly Singletary learns the pass protection and

2365
01:50:53,320 --> 01:50:55,479
Speaker 1: how well he blocks when he knows it. If he

2366
01:50:55,560 --> 01:50:58,559
Speaker 1: cannot block, defenses will exploit him with their pass rush,

2367
01:50:58,840 --> 01:51:00,639
Speaker 1: and if they don't use it in the past game,

2368
01:51:00,680 --> 01:51:03,679
Speaker 1: defenses will key him for a running play. Okay, there's

2369
01:51:03,720 --> 01:51:06,680
Speaker 1: one more tweet which I don't know. I don't know

2370
01:51:06,720 --> 01:51:09,560
Speaker 1: if I agree with this. Tamario Pettigrew says, I picked Singletary.

2371
01:51:09,640 --> 01:51:13,240
Speaker 1: But why after McCoy Again, back to our question after Shady?

2372
01:51:13,320 --> 01:51:16,639
Speaker 1: Why after McCoy, he says. Tamario Pettigrew says, I think

2373
01:51:16,680 --> 01:51:19,519
Speaker 1: McCoy's on a short rope with the coaching staff after

2374
01:51:19,680 --> 01:51:22,760
Speaker 1: last offseason. If you have to sign a leader in

2375
01:51:22,800 --> 01:51:24,600
Speaker 1: the running back room. It says something about how you

2376
01:51:24,680 --> 01:51:29,439
Speaker 1: see McCoy. Well, look in the fact that you feel

2377
01:51:29,479 --> 01:51:31,840
Speaker 1: like you need Frank Gore say, I think he is

2378
01:51:32,240 --> 01:51:34,719
Speaker 1: obviously going to be a leader when he's on the roster.

2379
01:51:34,840 --> 01:51:36,880
Speaker 1: I think he obviously has a lot to lead. And

2380
01:51:36,920 --> 01:51:39,680
Speaker 1: as I talked about earlier, grit and toughness that they

2381
01:51:39,760 --> 01:51:41,519
Speaker 1: may perceive as a need for this team that you

2382
01:51:41,600 --> 01:51:43,640
Speaker 1: do not get from Shady. I get that, but I

2383
01:51:43,680 --> 01:51:45,599
Speaker 1: don't know if he's on a short rope. I think

2384
01:51:45,640 --> 01:51:48,559
Speaker 1: there's a tremendous well. I think there's a healthy respect

2385
01:51:48,920 --> 01:51:51,960
Speaker 1: for the style of running back that Lashaw McCoy was

2386
01:51:52,600 --> 01:51:55,360
Speaker 1: up until last year and should be again with this

2387
01:51:55,520 --> 01:51:57,880
Speaker 1: new offensive line and maybe some new weapons on offense.

2388
01:51:57,920 --> 01:51:59,960
Speaker 1: Do you agree, see, I think they feel pretty good

2389
01:52:00,080 --> 01:52:01,680
Speaker 1: about what he has to offer. I really do. I

2390
01:52:01,840 --> 01:52:03,679
Speaker 1: think you put it just right. There's a healthy respect

2391
01:52:03,720 --> 01:52:05,280
Speaker 1: for him. They got a lot of confidence in the

2392
01:52:05,320 --> 01:52:07,320
Speaker 1: fact that he's going to have a bounce back yere

2393
01:52:07,439 --> 01:52:10,360
Speaker 1: and from what they've seen and listen, they watch him

2394
01:52:10,439 --> 01:52:12,920
Speaker 1: every day and practice, they watch him run through drills,

2395
01:52:12,960 --> 01:52:15,840
Speaker 1: they watch him, and they're with him in the film room,

2396
01:52:15,880 --> 01:52:18,320
Speaker 1: they're coaching him up. They've got a lot of confidence

2397
01:52:18,360 --> 01:52:21,160
Speaker 1: that Leshaun McCoy is a really good running back and

2398
01:52:21,200 --> 01:52:24,360
Speaker 1: they're going to depend on him as such. So and

2399
01:52:24,520 --> 01:52:26,880
Speaker 1: I think the fact that they brought Frank Gore in,

2400
01:52:28,000 --> 01:52:32,200
Speaker 1: I think that's as much a compliment to Frank Gore.

2401
01:52:32,320 --> 01:52:34,000
Speaker 1: And because Frank Gore is the type of guy they

2402
01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:36,000
Speaker 1: would bring in, they would sign up if Frank. You know,

2403
01:52:36,080 --> 01:52:38,439
Speaker 1: if Frank Gore was maybe not as productive but five

2404
01:52:38,560 --> 01:52:40,920
Speaker 1: years younger, they still would have brought him in. He's

2405
01:52:40,960 --> 01:52:43,920
Speaker 1: the kind of guy they want on the club. That's

2406
01:52:43,960 --> 01:52:45,600
Speaker 1: the kind of guy you want to bring in, the

2407
01:52:45,720 --> 01:52:47,800
Speaker 1: kind of guy who's set that example, who has that

2408
01:52:47,920 --> 01:52:50,960
Speaker 1: had that kind of production. I don't think as you said,

2409
01:52:51,120 --> 01:52:54,439
Speaker 1: and I get the point. It's it's legitimate question. I

2410
01:52:54,560 --> 01:52:58,320
Speaker 1: don't think they're unhappy with the leadership LaShaun McCoy is shown,

2411
01:52:58,400 --> 01:53:00,720
Speaker 1: and I don't and I know they're not unhappy with

2412
01:53:00,920 --> 01:53:03,759
Speaker 1: him as a running back, right, But I see the question.

2413
01:53:04,040 --> 01:53:05,479
Speaker 1: I do too, I see why you would ask that.

2414
01:53:05,600 --> 01:53:07,479
Speaker 1: I don't agree with it, But all right, we got

2415
01:53:07,520 --> 01:53:08,960
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about still, and a lot of

2416
01:53:08,960 --> 01:53:10,680
Speaker 1: people talk to a lot of phone calls on the

2417
01:53:10,800 --> 01:53:13,080
Speaker 1: line and tweets to read we're talking about the Bills

2418
01:53:13,160 --> 01:53:15,760
Speaker 1: running back. Maybe is this too much of an exaggeration?

2419
01:53:15,840 --> 01:53:19,120
Speaker 1: Seat the most in Look, everybody knows the seasons about

2420
01:53:19,160 --> 01:53:21,240
Speaker 1: Josh second year, blah blah blah blah blah blah. We

2421
01:53:21,439 --> 01:53:23,840
Speaker 1: talk about that. I get that, I accept that, I

2422
01:53:23,880 --> 01:53:28,599
Speaker 1: acknowledge that. But is this not the most interesting intriguing

2423
01:53:28,720 --> 01:53:32,680
Speaker 1: question about the Bills this offseason? Going into training? As

2424
01:53:32,680 --> 01:53:35,080
Speaker 1: you said, did you a guy named Jello? At this point,

2425
01:53:35,160 --> 01:53:36,639
Speaker 1: I don't even know which of the running backs will

2426
01:53:36,680 --> 01:53:38,479
Speaker 1: be on the roster. I think the running back room

2427
01:53:38,560 --> 01:53:40,519
Speaker 1: is the most interesting thing on the Bills right now.

2428
01:53:40,560 --> 01:53:43,439
Speaker 1: I got you, Jello. My guest, Shady is greater than Gore.

2429
01:53:43,560 --> 01:53:46,200
Speaker 1: Gore's greater than Singletary. But not everybody in the running

2430
01:53:46,240 --> 01:53:49,519
Speaker 1: back room will make the team. The rookie sticks, but

2431
01:53:49,680 --> 01:53:52,080
Speaker 1: after that, who knows. So he's with you. He thinks

2432
01:53:52,120 --> 01:53:55,599
Speaker 1: the third round draft pick is absolutely tantamount to making

2433
01:53:55,640 --> 01:53:57,559
Speaker 1: sure he makes the team. Pretty sure, we'll talk more

2434
01:53:57,560 --> 01:53:59,639
Speaker 1: about this. We gotta break here. One Bill's Live, presented

2435
01:53:59,680 --> 01:54:01,880
Speaker 1: by Collid to Health from One Bill's Drive. This is

2436
01:54:01,920 --> 01:54:11,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, we're gonna have a strong

2437
01:54:11,920 --> 01:54:15,320
Speaker 1: finishing the show. I've just cranked up the ac ses

2438
01:54:15,320 --> 01:54:16,720
Speaker 1: in here much too warm. I want to get it

2439
01:54:16,800 --> 01:54:19,639
Speaker 1: into the mid sixties in about twenty minutes. So get

2440
01:54:19,720 --> 01:54:21,840
Speaker 1: ready when you see Steve Shiver and if you are,

2441
01:54:21,920 --> 01:54:24,200
Speaker 1: we are we are we gonna do true falseness today?

2442
01:54:24,240 --> 01:54:26,800
Speaker 1: Are we gonna just like? Are we gonna continue with

2443
01:54:26,920 --> 01:54:31,639
Speaker 1: our debate? What? What debate? Well, the one we're gonna

2444
01:54:31,680 --> 01:54:34,160
Speaker 1: have tomorrow. No, we'll do that. We'll do that tomorrow.

2445
01:54:34,240 --> 01:54:36,600
Speaker 1: Why would you debate tomorrow stuff today? I don't. I

2446
01:54:36,640 --> 01:54:39,320
Speaker 1: don't know if tomorrow's debate really needs to go because

2447
01:54:39,520 --> 01:54:44,000
Speaker 1: I'm i will come off as being insensitive. Yes, yes,

2448
01:54:44,880 --> 01:54:46,880
Speaker 1: so I'm looking for Oh yeah, we're doing I like

2449
01:54:47,000 --> 01:54:49,520
Speaker 1: these true false questions. We're definitely doing it, but not

2450
01:54:49,640 --> 01:54:51,360
Speaker 1: now right now. We got a good we got a

2451
01:54:51,400 --> 01:54:53,360
Speaker 1: good top of going on today. See this running back

2452
01:54:53,480 --> 01:54:57,560
Speaker 1: question is is has turned into you know, it's mushroomed

2453
01:54:57,600 --> 01:55:02,160
Speaker 1: into something beyond its expect absolutely beyond our expectations. And

2454
01:55:02,280 --> 01:55:05,840
Speaker 1: the question is wireless aspirations after Shady, which bills running

2455
01:55:05,840 --> 01:55:08,000
Speaker 1: back will lead the team and touches people finding fault

2456
01:55:08,040 --> 01:55:10,280
Speaker 1: with it? Why would you say after Shady because he's

2457
01:55:10,440 --> 01:55:12,600
Speaker 1: Shawn McCoy, because I think he's going to be our show,

2458
01:55:12,640 --> 01:55:15,440
Speaker 1: because it's our show. Get your own. On the Twitter poll,

2459
01:55:15,560 --> 01:55:17,800
Speaker 1: forty one percent of you say the rookie Devin Singletary

2460
01:55:17,840 --> 01:55:20,240
Speaker 1: will lead the team and touches after Shady. Thirty eight

2461
01:55:20,320 --> 01:55:23,680
Speaker 1: percent say Frank Gore. Twenty two percent say t J Yeldon,

2462
01:55:23,720 --> 01:55:25,680
Speaker 1: What do you think? We got time to talk? We

2463
01:55:25,800 --> 01:55:28,360
Speaker 1: got time to read tweets? Back to the phones. We

2464
01:55:28,520 --> 01:55:30,800
Speaker 1: will go right now and we'll go to Frank and

2465
01:55:30,960 --> 01:55:35,640
Speaker 1: Forrest View. Frank, help me out? Where's Forrest View? Hello? Frank?

2466
01:55:35,720 --> 01:55:39,240
Speaker 1: Are you there? Frank? I Frank you there? Where's Forrest View?

2467
01:55:39,280 --> 01:55:46,400
Speaker 1: I don't know where that is? The speed trap? Yeah,

2468
01:55:46,560 --> 01:55:48,520
Speaker 1: no kidding, I've come close a few times on my

2469
01:55:48,560 --> 01:55:54,240
Speaker 1: way to camp. Yeah. Yeah. Point is, you know your

2470
01:55:54,400 --> 01:55:56,800
Speaker 1: your first three picks in the draft. You're you're plugging

2471
01:55:56,840 --> 01:55:58,840
Speaker 1: in the biggest hold you got in your in, your

2472
01:55:59,000 --> 01:56:04,040
Speaker 1: in your team, and uh okay, if if we don't

2473
01:56:04,240 --> 01:56:08,520
Speaker 1: cheap him, I believe that we have to either get

2474
01:56:08,640 --> 01:56:14,600
Speaker 1: rid of our scouting people or our organization just does

2475
01:56:14,680 --> 01:56:18,800
Speaker 1: it no talent. Well, Frank, you're a bit down the road.

2476
01:56:18,840 --> 01:56:22,480
Speaker 1: But I think in generally I agree with your assessment that. Look,

2477
01:56:22,800 --> 01:56:24,560
Speaker 1: not only did you draft him, you moved up in

2478
01:56:24,640 --> 01:56:27,000
Speaker 1: the draft to get that running back. So you made

2479
01:56:27,040 --> 01:56:29,080
Speaker 1: a determination that we need a running back and we

2480
01:56:29,200 --> 01:56:30,960
Speaker 1: need this guy to be the running back. Frank, there's

2481
01:56:31,000 --> 01:56:32,760
Speaker 1: no way he does not make the run. Stop. Frank.

2482
01:56:32,920 --> 01:56:34,440
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, how long have you been

2483
01:56:34,480 --> 01:56:43,000
Speaker 1: watching the NFL sixty How many busts have you seen? Zero? Well? No, no, no,

2484
01:56:43,440 --> 01:56:45,800
Speaker 1: what let's get this straight. Are you I don't think

2485
01:56:45,880 --> 01:56:48,920
Speaker 1: you are predicting that Devin secretary as a bus team

2486
01:56:48,960 --> 01:56:51,040
Speaker 1: Frank says, if you didn't make the team, you're gonna

2487
01:56:51,080 --> 01:56:54,720
Speaker 1: fire fifteen guys. Frank's I know what you meant. That's

2488
01:56:54,760 --> 01:56:57,800
Speaker 1: not what you meant, though, right, No, exactly, you know

2489
01:56:57,840 --> 01:57:00,480
Speaker 1: how what you said. Certain people on the show say

2490
01:57:00,960 --> 01:57:03,160
Speaker 1: what he said. Certain people on the show say I'm

2491
01:57:03,200 --> 01:57:07,000
Speaker 1: exaggerating to make a point. I think that's what you

2492
01:57:07,040 --> 01:57:09,440
Speaker 1: were doing. Frank. Here's the thing. I get it, Frank

2493
01:57:09,520 --> 01:57:13,440
Speaker 1: and third round, third round pick. Okay, but you know

2494
01:57:13,560 --> 01:57:18,680
Speaker 1: what this is. I've seen too many guys come in

2495
01:57:18,880 --> 01:57:22,680
Speaker 1: and for whatever reason, don't make it. But I agree,

2496
01:57:22,840 --> 01:57:24,840
Speaker 1: third round pick. You think he's gonna have a shot

2497
01:57:24,880 --> 01:57:26,800
Speaker 1: at making the team being on the team at least

2498
01:57:27,480 --> 01:57:29,840
Speaker 1: at some point during the season, right, he's gonna be on,

2499
01:57:30,040 --> 01:57:32,360
Speaker 1: he's off, or he's on. That would be worst case scenario.

2500
01:57:32,840 --> 01:57:35,680
Speaker 1: I think Devin Singletary's got enough ability to contribute to

2501
01:57:35,720 --> 01:57:38,040
Speaker 1: the team. The thing that scares me about him is

2502
01:57:38,080 --> 01:57:40,000
Speaker 1: the same thing that made him a third round draft pick.

2503
01:57:40,920 --> 01:57:43,920
Speaker 1: He's not big, he's not fast, he's not strong. He's

2504
01:57:43,960 --> 01:57:48,480
Speaker 1: pretty productive against Wake Forest, but I don't know how

2505
01:57:48,520 --> 01:57:50,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna do against the New York Jets of the

2506
01:57:50,040 --> 01:57:53,880
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. You know. So, I got doubts about him,

2507
01:57:55,280 --> 01:57:57,240
Speaker 1: But I like the kid. We had him, talk to him,

2508
01:57:57,240 --> 01:57:59,120
Speaker 1: you look him in the eye. I like what I see.

2509
01:57:59,280 --> 01:58:01,960
Speaker 1: He's a little confidence, he's got a little swagger to him,

2510
01:58:01,960 --> 01:58:04,800
Speaker 1: and he knows he's got something to offer. That's kind

2511
01:58:04,840 --> 01:58:07,920
Speaker 1: of good. But I'm but I'm not gonna say they

2512
01:58:08,040 --> 01:58:11,760
Speaker 1: blew their third round pick. If he doesn't make the team,

2513
01:58:12,200 --> 01:58:16,360
Speaker 1: that's a tough spot on the Bill's roster to break

2514
01:58:16,440 --> 01:58:20,200
Speaker 1: into the lineup. That's all I'm saying, Frank, I'm saying

2515
01:58:20,240 --> 01:58:22,080
Speaker 1: there is a spot for him. Let's go to Rick

2516
01:58:22,120 --> 01:58:24,640
Speaker 1: and Warren, Pennsylvania. Hello, Rick and Warren, you're on the

2517
01:58:24,680 --> 01:58:28,320
Speaker 1: air with this. Hi, thanks for taking my call. I

2518
01:58:29,120 --> 01:58:33,240
Speaker 1: love you. I love you too. Rick. I'd like to

2519
01:58:33,240 --> 01:58:36,040
Speaker 1: get to know you a little better. Go ahead, Rick.

2520
01:58:37,360 --> 01:58:40,680
Speaker 1: I know you guys pretty well, but you don't know me. Um.

2521
01:58:41,200 --> 01:58:45,720
Speaker 1: I've been a Bill's fan since nineteen sixty sixty Did

2522
01:58:45,760 --> 01:58:51,920
Speaker 1: you say nineteen sixty nineteen sixty? Who? Yeah, I've been

2523
01:58:52,000 --> 01:58:55,600
Speaker 1: a draft nuts since nineteen sixty nine, during the great

2524
01:58:55,680 --> 01:58:59,720
Speaker 1: debate whether or not we should take Leroy keys from

2525
01:58:59,760 --> 01:59:05,400
Speaker 1: you CLA or O. J. Simpson from USC All Right,

2526
01:59:05,720 --> 01:59:12,240
Speaker 1: so what's on your mind in twenty nineteen, let's oh, well,

2527
01:59:12,360 --> 01:59:16,880
Speaker 1: oh yeah, we're talking. Well, my my my thing is,

2528
01:59:16,960 --> 01:59:22,640
Speaker 1: I say Devin Singletary. I've been watching his highlights and

2529
01:59:23,920 --> 01:59:26,480
Speaker 1: he's got the best vision I've ever seen in a

2530
01:59:26,600 --> 01:59:31,720
Speaker 1: running back. He plays running back like chess. He thinks

2531
01:59:31,840 --> 01:59:34,840
Speaker 1: several moves ahead of time, and I think you guys

2532
01:59:34,840 --> 01:59:40,160
Speaker 1: should show that highlight of him at the goal line.

2533
01:59:40,360 --> 01:59:42,680
Speaker 1: At their own goal line, they handed off the ball

2534
01:59:42,800 --> 01:59:45,760
Speaker 1: to him. I guess it's against old dominion. He broke

2535
01:59:47,160 --> 01:59:51,120
Speaker 1: ten tackles. They made a bunch of guys missed and

2536
01:59:51,320 --> 01:59:54,400
Speaker 1: broke tackles and ran it up to like thirty or

2537
01:59:54,520 --> 01:59:56,840
Speaker 1: forty yard line and took the whole teams to tackle them.

2538
01:59:57,560 --> 02:00:03,840
Speaker 1: So I'll that's who I think. Okay, I'm uh, you know,

2539
02:00:03,960 --> 02:00:06,320
Speaker 1: playing for the Bill. Yeah. Thanks. I think he will, Rick,

2540
02:00:06,360 --> 02:00:08,360
Speaker 1: I think he will play and he might be uh

2541
02:00:09,040 --> 02:00:12,240
Speaker 1: an important part of their offensive backfield. When we had

2542
02:00:12,280 --> 02:00:17,480
Speaker 1: an old dominion and you know, everybody in the NFL.

2543
02:00:17,720 --> 02:00:20,480
Speaker 1: But I get it. Yeah, I wasn't gonna say it.

2544
02:00:20,480 --> 02:00:22,880
Speaker 1: I'm glad you did. But here's the thing, and I

2545
02:00:22,960 --> 02:00:25,120
Speaker 1: get here's the thing. And he said it when he

2546
02:00:25,160 --> 02:00:26,760
Speaker 1: came on. I asked him. I said, how's come. You're

2547
02:00:26,760 --> 02:00:29,200
Speaker 1: not fast, you're not big, you're not strong, you don't

2548
02:00:29,280 --> 02:00:32,360
Speaker 1: jump high, all of that. But you know, house Come,

2549
02:00:33,080 --> 02:00:35,240
Speaker 1: you're thinking, you know, basically, house Come, you thinking you're

2550
02:00:35,240 --> 02:00:39,200
Speaker 1: still play in the NFL. And he said, I'm a game.

2551
02:00:39,520 --> 02:00:41,600
Speaker 1: I play ball. Yeah, I'm a I'm a football player.

2552
02:00:41,640 --> 02:00:43,800
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not a jumper, a runner. I'm not.

2553
02:00:44,040 --> 02:00:46,360
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a football player. And there's something to

2554
02:00:46,440 --> 02:00:49,040
Speaker 1: be said for that. We've all seen guys, me me

2555
02:00:49,160 --> 02:00:51,240
Speaker 1: as many as anybody, as much as anybody has seen

2556
02:00:51,320 --> 02:00:53,880
Speaker 1: guys who they don't practice that good. They you know,

2557
02:00:54,000 --> 02:00:56,080
Speaker 1: and I believe me. I've been in a locker room

2558
02:00:56,080 --> 02:00:57,880
Speaker 1: with guys. They walk to the shower, it's like, man,

2559
02:00:58,000 --> 02:00:59,520
Speaker 1: that guy needs to go on a diet, you know.

2560
02:00:59,640 --> 02:01:02,400
Speaker 1: Or this guy what he is the goofiest looking he's

2561
02:01:02,400 --> 02:01:04,320
Speaker 1: got a goofy looking body. Then you get him on

2562
02:01:04,360 --> 02:01:06,400
Speaker 1: the field, it's like, wow, he can really play. I

2563
02:01:06,640 --> 02:01:08,680
Speaker 1: get it. You don't. They don't all look the part.

2564
02:01:09,120 --> 02:01:12,640
Speaker 1: And Devin Singletary when you measure him, he's five eight,

2565
02:01:12,680 --> 02:01:15,000
Speaker 1: he's two hundred. He's not that fast, not that strong,

2566
02:01:15,120 --> 02:01:17,120
Speaker 1: don't you know all that. But when you put him

2567
02:01:17,160 --> 02:01:19,760
Speaker 1: on the field, something else happens. And and maybe it

2568
02:01:19,920 --> 02:01:21,760
Speaker 1: is a lot to do with the vision that he brings.

2569
02:01:22,480 --> 02:01:25,160
Speaker 1: They don't test. They don't test that kind of thing.

2570
02:01:25,320 --> 02:01:28,480
Speaker 1: At the combine, maybe he would have been elite. I

2571
02:01:28,520 --> 02:01:30,800
Speaker 1: don't know. One more call on this topic. We'll squeeze

2572
02:01:30,840 --> 02:01:33,680
Speaker 1: in here. Josh calling from Amherst. Hello, Josh, you're on

2573
02:01:33,720 --> 02:01:36,520
Speaker 1: the air. Go ahead, all right. I'm calling in to

2574
02:01:36,600 --> 02:01:39,919
Speaker 1: say that I think that Devin Singletary's probably the safest

2575
02:01:39,960 --> 02:01:43,240
Speaker 1: back to make the team. I think that McBean in

2576
02:01:43,320 --> 02:01:46,040
Speaker 1: past years, like with Wyatt Teller, Ray Ray McCloud, they

2577
02:01:46,080 --> 02:01:47,840
Speaker 1: don't always have to be the best player to start.

2578
02:01:47,920 --> 02:01:51,840
Speaker 1: I think McBean really believed that they can develop their rookies,

2579
02:01:51,840 --> 02:01:54,000
Speaker 1: and I think when they're drafting they consider that. So

2580
02:01:54,160 --> 02:01:56,920
Speaker 1: I think that even if Gore yelled and I'll play

2581
02:01:57,000 --> 02:01:59,280
Speaker 1: him to start, I think that he still makes the team.

2582
02:01:59,400 --> 02:02:01,120
Speaker 1: I do too. So you think his top end is

2583
02:02:01,120 --> 02:02:03,120
Speaker 1: gonna make it? Make sure? I mean, I agree with you.

2584
02:02:03,240 --> 02:02:06,120
Speaker 1: I think I think Devin Singletary will make the team. Uh,

2585
02:02:06,240 --> 02:02:09,040
Speaker 1: it's not a and the sky hasn't fallen if he doesn't.

2586
02:02:09,320 --> 02:02:11,920
Speaker 1: But I think you're right. And I think also, um,

2587
02:02:12,200 --> 02:02:16,480
Speaker 1: he's the kind of guy that could be exactly what

2588
02:02:16,600 --> 02:02:18,720
Speaker 1: you say, a guy who comes in. He's playing behind

2589
02:02:18,760 --> 02:02:20,800
Speaker 1: those two guys that are established, and then when he

2590
02:02:21,080 --> 02:02:22,800
Speaker 1: does finally get his foot in the door, all of

2591
02:02:22,840 --> 02:02:25,880
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's like, Wow, he's he's got it. And

2592
02:02:26,920 --> 02:02:29,920
Speaker 1: maybe they do. You know that the culture that they've

2593
02:02:29,920 --> 02:02:32,480
Speaker 1: built here in Buffalo, the way they do their business

2594
02:02:32,560 --> 02:02:36,000
Speaker 1: in that running back room, will be you know, something

2595
02:02:36,080 --> 02:02:38,800
Speaker 1: that he, you know, flourishes in. Maybe it will happen

2596
02:02:38,880 --> 02:02:40,440
Speaker 1: that way. But I think that's you're right. I think

2597
02:02:40,480 --> 02:02:42,600
Speaker 1: they'll use him and they'll say listen, we'll see where

2598
02:02:42,600 --> 02:02:45,520
Speaker 1: he is a week five before we plug him in. Josh,

2599
02:02:45,600 --> 02:02:48,040
Speaker 1: thanks Steve. You know what I gotta say this everything

2600
02:02:48,200 --> 02:02:51,360
Speaker 1: you know, every every piece of equipment in our studio

2601
02:02:51,440 --> 02:02:53,200
Speaker 1: doesn't work well, but you know it works really well

2602
02:02:53,280 --> 02:02:57,000
Speaker 1: in here the eric I'm freezing. I turned it on

2603
02:02:57,120 --> 02:02:59,560
Speaker 1: five minutes a little warm when we right before you

2604
02:02:59,680 --> 02:03:01,520
Speaker 1: sat in the chair, and it's six months ago when

2605
02:03:01,880 --> 02:03:05,760
Speaker 1: I turned it on, sizing. It's really the best thing

2606
02:03:05,800 --> 02:03:08,320
Speaker 1: we have called for us, right the air conditioning and

2607
02:03:08,440 --> 02:03:10,960
Speaker 1: here is amazing. Our climate control is second to none.

2608
02:03:11,440 --> 02:03:14,160
Speaker 1: Now what does that mean to you the listener, the viewer? Nothing,

2609
02:03:14,320 --> 02:03:15,840
Speaker 1: because we're trying to get to the next break so

2610
02:03:15,920 --> 02:03:17,320
Speaker 1: we can turn it off and go watch us shiver

2611
02:03:17,320 --> 02:03:18,960
Speaker 1: a little. Hey, here we go. We haven't done this

2612
02:03:19,080 --> 02:03:22,280
Speaker 1: yet this week. NFL true and false. It is presented

2613
02:03:22,320 --> 02:03:25,400
Speaker 1: by Yancey's Fancy New York's artist and chiefs. True false.

2614
02:03:25,440 --> 02:03:27,800
Speaker 1: How are you ready for this? Jay Glazier in his

2615
02:03:27,920 --> 02:03:30,919
Speaker 1: mail bank on the Athletic dot Com, he says the Cowboys,

2616
02:03:30,960 --> 02:03:34,440
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys are a top five team in the league.

2617
02:03:34,760 --> 02:03:37,960
Speaker 1: He says, the Cowboys so much attention everywhere else. He

2618
02:03:38,000 --> 02:03:40,400
Speaker 1: says the rosterwise topped about him, the Cowboys are in

2619
02:03:40,440 --> 02:03:42,720
Speaker 1: the top five in the league. True false, Steve, I'm

2620
02:03:42,760 --> 02:03:45,400
Speaker 1: saying false. I'm gonna name who I think is better.

2621
02:03:45,480 --> 02:03:47,720
Speaker 1: I will Yeah, I think the Patriots are better. I

2622
02:03:47,880 --> 02:03:51,280
Speaker 1: think the UM. I think the Chargers have a better

2623
02:03:51,400 --> 02:03:53,560
Speaker 1: roster than the Dallas Cowboys. I'm just sticking in the

2624
02:03:53,600 --> 02:03:57,200
Speaker 1: AFC right now. I think, um, let me go to NFC.

2625
02:03:57,520 --> 02:03:59,600
Speaker 1: I think the Rams have a better roster. I think

2626
02:04:00,560 --> 02:04:02,360
Speaker 1: the Packers probably have a bit of roster. I think

2627
02:04:02,400 --> 02:04:04,480
Speaker 1: Seattle has a bit of rosters. Should I keep going No,

2628
02:04:04,720 --> 02:04:06,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. False. They're not a top five team in

2629
02:04:06,680 --> 02:04:08,400
Speaker 1: the league. I agree with you, and I think you

2630
02:04:08,520 --> 02:04:12,760
Speaker 1: gotta put the Saints, the Rams, Seattle, the Chargers, Patriots. UM.

2631
02:04:13,280 --> 02:04:15,160
Speaker 1: There's a there's some teams out there that are going now.

2632
02:04:15,320 --> 02:04:17,480
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the Dallas Cowboys gonna go and sixteen.

2633
02:04:17,520 --> 02:04:19,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna be a good competitive football team, but that's

2634
02:04:19,920 --> 02:04:22,480
Speaker 1: the playoffs. That's hard to Yeah, exactly what they make

2635
02:04:22,480 --> 02:04:24,800
Speaker 1: it last year with nine wins, right where they're at

2636
02:04:24,840 --> 02:04:27,000
Speaker 1: this year. I'm with you. I think they're a talented roster.

2637
02:04:27,120 --> 02:04:30,160
Speaker 1: They maybe a top ten team, but I don't think

2638
02:04:30,200 --> 02:04:32,600
Speaker 1: they're top five. Those teams that you mentioned the New

2639
02:04:32,640 --> 02:04:34,720
Speaker 1: England Patriots. The Chargers are going to be better than

2640
02:04:34,760 --> 02:04:37,120
Speaker 1: they are the Saints or a better team the Rams,

2641
02:04:37,160 --> 02:04:39,240
Speaker 1: and I think Seattle is an overlooked team as well.

2642
02:04:39,320 --> 02:04:41,200
Speaker 1: Here we go NFL tru or false Chiefs too. The

2643
02:04:41,320 --> 02:04:44,920
Speaker 1: Chiefs dub that gets us in question number two NFL

2644
02:04:45,000 --> 02:04:48,760
Speaker 1: truin false About the AFC West Adam Rank NFL dot Com,

2645
02:04:48,880 --> 02:04:51,280
Speaker 1: He writes, I consider the Chargers the top team in

2646
02:04:51,360 --> 02:04:54,400
Speaker 1: the AFC West. Chiefs are exciting, but the Chargers are

2647
02:04:54,400 --> 02:04:57,720
Speaker 1: the best overall team. Their season ended earlier than you

2648
02:04:57,760 --> 02:05:01,760
Speaker 1: would have hoped, but they gained some valuable experience. Chargers

2649
02:05:02,520 --> 02:05:04,080
Speaker 1: feels like this should be the year when they put

2650
02:05:04,120 --> 02:05:06,800
Speaker 1: it all together. Maybe twenty nineteen will be when they

2651
02:05:06,800 --> 02:05:08,960
Speaker 1: stop being the groomsmen and actually become the groom that's

2652
02:05:09,000 --> 02:05:11,560
Speaker 1: Adam Rank of NFL dot Com. The Chargers go into

2653
02:05:11,560 --> 02:05:13,960
Speaker 1: the season as the AFC's West team. Look for a

2654
02:05:14,000 --> 02:05:17,240
Speaker 1: couple of years now, I have picked the Chargers preseason

2655
02:05:17,560 --> 02:05:20,200
Speaker 1: as the best team in the AFC, picked them as

2656
02:05:20,240 --> 02:05:22,840
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl contender in the AFC. Haven't made it

2657
02:05:23,000 --> 02:05:25,360
Speaker 1: yet for a variety of reasons. But are they the

2658
02:05:25,440 --> 02:05:27,720
Speaker 1: AFC West best team right now. I'm gonna say true

2659
02:05:27,760 --> 02:05:30,480
Speaker 1: on this one, Steve, I believe it's still and mostly

2660
02:05:30,520 --> 02:05:34,160
Speaker 1: because of my love affair with Philip Rivers, I would agree.

2661
02:05:34,680 --> 02:05:38,040
Speaker 1: You can say, well, Kansas City innocent, they have zero defense,

2662
02:05:38,360 --> 02:05:40,480
Speaker 1: and you're talking about a team. I think the Chargers

2663
02:05:40,520 --> 02:05:42,120
Speaker 1: have got it on both sides of the ball. Philip

2664
02:05:42,240 --> 02:05:45,200
Speaker 1: Rivers can still sling it. They've still got Keenan Allen,

2665
02:05:45,240 --> 02:05:47,960
Speaker 1: They've got They've got the ability to score points. The

2666
02:05:48,080 --> 02:05:50,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs do have the ability to score points. They have

2667
02:05:50,240 --> 02:05:52,560
Speaker 1: no ability to stop the other team from scoring points.

2668
02:05:52,760 --> 02:05:54,400
Speaker 1: And it's not going to get any better this year

2669
02:05:54,520 --> 02:05:57,280
Speaker 1: for them. I think the Chiefs has taken a step

2670
02:05:57,320 --> 02:06:02,880
Speaker 1: backwards as well. Hunt's not there and they've lost a

2671
02:06:02,960 --> 02:06:06,320
Speaker 1: couple of their pieces offensively, So I think the Chiefs

2672
02:06:06,400 --> 02:06:08,280
Speaker 1: take took a step back. I mean, they were off

2673
02:06:08,320 --> 02:06:10,920
Speaker 1: the charts last year, and there's no question. I don't

2674
02:06:10,920 --> 02:06:13,040
Speaker 1: know Pat Mahomes had a great year last year, but

2675
02:06:13,280 --> 02:06:15,080
Speaker 1: all the analytics and all, let's say that said, the

2676
02:06:15,160 --> 02:06:17,720
Speaker 1: statistics will tell you he's got to take a step

2677
02:06:17,800 --> 02:06:19,920
Speaker 1: back from that. This year. They're just not going to

2678
02:06:19,960 --> 02:06:22,600
Speaker 1: be as good. So I think that puts LA right

2679
02:06:22,640 --> 02:06:24,520
Speaker 1: in the middle of it, because you're talking about the

2680
02:06:24,560 --> 02:06:27,240
Speaker 1: other two teams, Denver and the Oakland Raiders, who are

2681
02:06:27,280 --> 02:06:30,000
Speaker 1: in full rebuild right now. One more from NFL Tour fall,

2682
02:06:30,040 --> 02:06:32,000
Speaker 1: so I'll let you go first. Done this one. Odell

2683
02:06:32,040 --> 02:06:34,440
Speaker 1: Beckham Junior, Brown's running back, had some praise for his

2684
02:06:34,520 --> 02:06:37,160
Speaker 1: new quarterback, Baker Mayfield the quote, I'm gonna have to

2685
02:06:37,240 --> 02:06:39,760
Speaker 1: get adjusted to the speed because he's got an arm.

2686
02:06:39,760 --> 02:06:42,120
Speaker 1: He's throwing the ball hard. Just catching from him the

2687
02:06:42,120 --> 02:06:44,880
Speaker 1: first day it was wild. This is completely different. Some

2688
02:06:45,120 --> 02:06:48,040
Speaker 1: interpreted that as a shot as his old quarterback Eli

2689
02:06:48,160 --> 02:06:51,400
Speaker 1: Manning age thirty eight for Odell Beckham to rave about

2690
02:06:51,440 --> 02:06:54,120
Speaker 1: the Baker Mayfield. The Giants did struggle to get the

2691
02:06:54,160 --> 02:06:58,680
Speaker 1: ball downfield to to Obj last year, So the question

2692
02:06:58,880 --> 02:07:03,480
Speaker 1: is about Odell Beckham Junior. Was his uh? Was his

2693
02:07:03,640 --> 02:07:07,800
Speaker 1: praise of Baker Mayfield a shot at Eli? True? False? Well,

2694
02:07:08,080 --> 02:07:11,120
Speaker 1: we've got a backward. Obj's praise of Mayfield was not

2695
02:07:11,240 --> 02:07:13,280
Speaker 1: a shot at Eli. You think that's true or false.

2696
02:07:13,400 --> 02:07:14,840
Speaker 1: I don't think he was a shot at Eli, but

2697
02:07:14,880 --> 02:07:18,040
Speaker 1: I think it was a clear and probably true observation.

2698
02:07:18,600 --> 02:07:22,480
Speaker 1: Mayfield's got a good arm. Yeah, and Eli doesn't. And

2699
02:07:22,640 --> 02:07:25,080
Speaker 1: that's when you're out there running drills against air. The

2700
02:07:25,200 --> 02:07:27,440
Speaker 1: quarterbacks kind of always show that off, you know. I mean,

2701
02:07:27,480 --> 02:07:29,800
Speaker 1: the quarterback doesn't have to worry about missing or kind

2702
02:07:29,840 --> 02:07:31,880
Speaker 1: of aiming it in there. They put a little spice

2703
02:07:31,920 --> 02:07:34,600
Speaker 1: on it. Mayfield's got a nice arm, and Eli doesn't

2704
02:07:34,600 --> 02:07:38,320
Speaker 1: do that. Eli's never had that big time NFL arm.

2705
02:07:38,360 --> 02:07:40,480
Speaker 1: He's He's always had a great head on him. He's

2706
02:07:40,480 --> 02:07:43,040
Speaker 1: got a great demeanor for the position. But I don't

2707
02:07:43,080 --> 02:07:45,400
Speaker 1: think Odell Beckham was sitting there thinking I'm gonna take

2708
02:07:45,400 --> 02:07:47,120
Speaker 1: a shot him out any quarterback. I think this is

2709
02:07:47,120 --> 02:07:49,800
Speaker 1: a true as well, And if it's possible, this, this

2710
02:07:50,160 --> 02:07:53,360
Speaker 1: uh interpretation has provided me with an opportunity to have

2711
02:07:53,400 --> 02:07:58,400
Speaker 1: a tiny little grain of m not respect for Odell

2712
02:07:58,440 --> 02:08:00,600
Speaker 1: Beckham Junior, but just I feel sorry for him that

2713
02:08:00,720 --> 02:08:02,840
Speaker 1: everything he says is now viewed in that prison. He

2714
02:08:02,960 --> 02:08:06,240
Speaker 1: can't praise his current quarterback without being interpreted as a

2715
02:08:06,280 --> 02:08:07,880
Speaker 1: shot at Eli. Come on, now, he's just trying to

2716
02:08:07,880 --> 02:08:09,920
Speaker 1: say Baker's got a great arm. He's got a great arm. Yea.

2717
02:08:09,960 --> 02:08:12,040
Speaker 1: And Pat Shermer, the head coach of the Giants, whom

2718
02:08:12,040 --> 02:08:13,840
Speaker 1: he left to go to the Cleveland Browns and is

2719
02:08:13,880 --> 02:08:16,800
Speaker 1: now and is Eli Manning's coach, he said, listening is

2720
02:08:17,120 --> 02:08:19,320
Speaker 1: I think it's more. Odell's just happy to be there.

2721
02:08:19,360 --> 02:08:21,720
Speaker 1: He's he's liking his new teammates, He's getting used to it,

2722
02:08:21,800 --> 02:08:24,320
Speaker 1: he's getting more comfortable. Had something has some great things

2723
02:08:24,320 --> 02:08:26,480
Speaker 1: to say about it. The teammates he's with, he probably hasn't.

2724
02:08:26,960 --> 02:08:30,240
Speaker 1: I'm telling you'll Odell Beckham hasn't given the New York

2725
02:08:30,320 --> 02:08:33,400
Speaker 1: Giants two seconds of thought in the last six weeks. Yeah,

2726
02:08:33,600 --> 02:08:35,640
Speaker 1: he's you know, I mean, he's thinking about being a

2727
02:08:35,720 --> 02:08:37,800
Speaker 1: Brown and those guys. It's a little bit of sympathy

2728
02:08:37,800 --> 02:08:40,120
Speaker 1: I have for I kind of agree with you. Yeah,

2729
02:08:40,240 --> 02:08:43,720
Speaker 1: here's breath a breakcare We're back with more One Bill's

2730
02:08:43,760 --> 02:08:55,160
Speaker 1: Live from One Bill's Drive on Buffalo Bill's Radio. Okay,

2731
02:08:55,200 --> 02:08:56,800
Speaker 1: here we go. What are we learned from today's show?

2732
02:08:56,840 --> 02:08:58,760
Speaker 1: People ask that question all the time. Let's tell you

2733
02:08:58,840 --> 02:09:01,000
Speaker 1: what have we learned? It is presented by Advanced Alarm

2734
02:09:01,360 --> 02:09:04,360
Speaker 1: providing Western New York's homes and businesses with the finest

2735
02:09:04,440 --> 02:09:07,160
Speaker 1: and security and home theater. He preferred Alarm at Home

2736
02:09:07,200 --> 02:09:08,920
Speaker 1: Theater provider of the Buffalo Bills. What have we learned?

2737
02:09:08,960 --> 02:09:11,920
Speaker 1: Good show? Today, EJ Manuel joined US. Former Bill's first

2738
02:09:11,960 --> 02:09:14,440
Speaker 1: round draft pick twenty thirteen, got a brand new gig.

2739
02:09:14,760 --> 02:09:17,480
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a football analysts under brand new acc

2740
02:09:17,680 --> 02:09:20,360
Speaker 1: television network. We talked with ej about his years in

2741
02:09:20,400 --> 02:09:22,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo and he says he really did like it here

2742
02:09:22,080 --> 02:09:25,800
Speaker 1: when he played here for the Bill. I really enjoyed

2743
02:09:25,840 --> 02:09:28,080
Speaker 1: my time in Buffalo, though there, and I wish things

2744
02:09:28,120 --> 02:09:30,640
Speaker 1: could have went a lot better than I you know, obviously,

2745
02:09:30,720 --> 02:09:32,760
Speaker 1: at the competitor, you want to win championships, you want

2746
02:09:32,800 --> 02:09:34,560
Speaker 1: to go to the playoffs and things like that. But

2747
02:09:34,680 --> 02:09:36,880
Speaker 1: I do think that my time in Buffalo actually prepared

2748
02:09:36,960 --> 02:09:38,520
Speaker 1: me for time such as this, you know, whether it

2749
02:09:38,640 --> 02:09:40,760
Speaker 1: was you know, in my football career and my professional

2750
02:09:40,840 --> 02:09:43,320
Speaker 1: career now the college football analysts. So you know, I

2751
02:09:43,400 --> 02:09:46,480
Speaker 1: don't take, you know, any anything for granted. And I'm

2752
02:09:46,520 --> 02:09:49,240
Speaker 1: extremely blessed to have played in the NFL and you know,

2753
02:09:49,320 --> 02:09:53,520
Speaker 1: played for two different teams and two great franchises. E J. Manuel,

2754
02:09:53,560 --> 02:09:55,320
Speaker 1: we'll talk more about him in the second. He joined

2755
02:09:55,400 --> 02:09:57,160
Speaker 1: us today and at the end of the end of

2756
02:09:57,200 --> 02:09:59,680
Speaker 1: the Bill's quarterback spectrum. Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly

2757
02:09:59,760 --> 02:10:02,400
Speaker 1: joined this today. He had some early observations on this

2758
02:10:02,520 --> 02:10:06,920
Speaker 1: year is twenty nineteen Buffalo Bills. You gotta keep your

2759
02:10:06,960 --> 02:10:09,880
Speaker 1: star players healthy, and I know that's a key for

2760
02:10:10,000 --> 02:10:12,280
Speaker 1: every team in the NFL. If you can't have a

2761
02:10:12,840 --> 02:10:15,960
Speaker 1: you know, one of your Josh Allen, Sean McCoy go

2762
02:10:16,120 --> 02:10:19,839
Speaker 1: down with injuries. I mean, worried when Kyle Williams was here, Buchanan,

2763
02:10:20,000 --> 02:10:21,880
Speaker 1: Eric Wood, I mean, all these guys, some of the

2764
02:10:21,960 --> 02:10:24,320
Speaker 1: guys that are barred to retire. But then you across

2765
02:10:24,400 --> 02:10:26,560
Speaker 1: the league, you can't have a Tom Brady go down.

2766
02:10:26,640 --> 02:10:29,200
Speaker 1: You might just Super Bowls gone, you know, goodbye. Sure,

2767
02:10:29,360 --> 02:10:32,040
Speaker 1: there's certain players you have to keep healthy. And I

2768
02:10:32,160 --> 02:10:34,680
Speaker 1: know we've been hit with the injury buck a lot.

2769
02:10:34,920 --> 02:10:38,120
Speaker 1: But I love what I see. I love what coach McDermott,

2770
02:10:38,200 --> 02:10:40,200
Speaker 1: him Brandon being out here. He's doing a great job

2771
02:10:41,040 --> 02:10:44,080
Speaker 1: on what he's doing so far. So time, Wally tell

2772
02:10:44,160 --> 02:10:46,120
Speaker 1: it's hard to predict this time of year. You know

2773
02:10:46,240 --> 02:10:48,440
Speaker 1: what what you like. But I've been to practices, I've

2774
02:10:48,440 --> 02:10:52,000
Speaker 1: seen it, and I love it. Jim Kelly and d J. Manuel,

2775
02:10:52,000 --> 02:10:54,680
Speaker 1: How can I project give you a little quiz one question?

2776
02:10:54,720 --> 02:10:56,320
Speaker 1: How old you think? You guess? How old is he?

2777
02:10:56,400 --> 02:11:05,480
Speaker 1: Jim Man twenty nine, ding, you got it, I get

2778
02:11:05,520 --> 02:11:07,440
Speaker 1: it right, You got it exactly right. And I was

2779
02:11:07,520 --> 02:11:10,640
Speaker 1: I was thinking about that, how impressed I was with again.

2780
02:11:10,880 --> 02:11:14,120
Speaker 1: And this happened um with Kyle Williams the other day.

2781
02:11:14,120 --> 02:11:16,360
Speaker 1: Were you here with Kyle? Was it Monday? We're here

2782
02:11:16,400 --> 02:11:18,800
Speaker 1: and we were talking to Kyle about every his whole

2783
02:11:18,880 --> 02:11:20,240
Speaker 1: life's in front of him. And you know what, I

2784
02:11:20,360 --> 02:11:22,640
Speaker 1: was thinking about that with EJ, twenty nine year old kid. Yes,

2785
02:11:22,720 --> 02:11:24,600
Speaker 1: the NFL thing didn't work out for him as a player,

2786
02:11:24,640 --> 02:11:29,000
Speaker 1: but now he's got this broadcast opportunity at age twenty nine, smart, handsome,

2787
02:11:29,160 --> 02:11:31,880
Speaker 1: good person. I love stories like that. I hope EJ

2788
02:11:32,120 --> 02:11:33,880
Speaker 1: kills it on TV. I really do. He made a

2789
02:11:33,920 --> 02:11:36,120
Speaker 1: stack of money too, Yeah, that's a money He's got

2790
02:11:36,200 --> 02:11:38,240
Speaker 1: some cash put away. The guys like Kyle, if they

2791
02:11:38,520 --> 02:11:41,000
Speaker 1: get in that second contract, they put together a nice

2792
02:11:41,080 --> 02:11:44,640
Speaker 1: seven eight, nine year career. They that's at very the

2793
02:11:44,800 --> 02:11:47,120
Speaker 1: very least a nice springboard into the next thing they

2794
02:11:47,160 --> 02:11:49,800
Speaker 1: want to do. So it was great talking to EJ.

2795
02:11:50,000 --> 02:11:52,640
Speaker 1: He couldn't have been more complimentary to Buffalo and um

2796
02:11:52,920 --> 02:11:54,400
Speaker 1: and like all of us, and we should have worked

2797
02:11:54,440 --> 02:11:56,120
Speaker 1: out differently for him. And this is why and I'll

2798
02:11:56,160 --> 02:11:57,760
Speaker 1: tell you this, I think you know this about me.

2799
02:11:57,920 --> 02:11:59,560
Speaker 1: That's why I love doing the show to kind of

2800
02:11:59,720 --> 02:12:03,640
Speaker 1: re in some cases introduced or reintroduce important figures in

2801
02:12:03,760 --> 02:12:06,840
Speaker 1: franchise history to bills fans who you know. I think

2802
02:12:06,840 --> 02:12:10,040
Speaker 1: there might be a tendency among some to say, EJ Manuel,

2803
02:12:10,080 --> 02:12:13,360
Speaker 1: I want a disaster. That was he's okay, he's twenty

2804
02:12:13,440 --> 02:12:14,960
Speaker 1: nine years old and he's gonna be okay. It's not

2805
02:12:15,040 --> 02:12:17,920
Speaker 1: a disaster. Despite the lack of organizational success over the

2806
02:12:18,000 --> 02:12:20,520
Speaker 1: last twenty years, and certainly it's gotten is starting to

2807
02:12:20,560 --> 02:12:24,480
Speaker 1: get better now. You have higher hopes now, But over

2808
02:12:24,480 --> 02:12:27,200
Speaker 1: the last twenty years, you forget that. As you know,

2809
02:12:27,640 --> 02:12:30,560
Speaker 1: those seven and nine seasons and eight and eight seasons

2810
02:12:30,600 --> 02:12:32,600
Speaker 1: that you kind of struggle through, there were a lot

2811
02:12:32,640 --> 02:12:37,160
Speaker 1: of really great guys coming through this building that were

2812
02:12:37,200 --> 02:12:38,560
Speaker 1: great to get to know. And I feel like it

2813
02:12:38,640 --> 02:12:40,800
Speaker 1: was a real gift to get a chance to cross

2814
02:12:40,840 --> 02:12:42,800
Speaker 1: pass on And that still happens today, even more so

2815
02:12:42,960 --> 02:12:46,320
Speaker 1: today with the guys they're bringing in now. Despite the

2816
02:12:46,400 --> 02:12:48,160
Speaker 1: fact that they didn't win enough games for any of us,

2817
02:12:48,880 --> 02:12:51,440
Speaker 1: they still populated this building with a ton of really

2818
02:12:51,520 --> 02:12:53,920
Speaker 1: good people. Yep, all right, another show tomorrow. You'll be
