  Speaker 3: No.

  Speaker 1: We don't have any Ray Davis shirts?

  Speaker 3: I low-key feel like it's weird to have my own apparel.

• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Dion wears his own apparel.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Well, he's Dion. I'm Ray Davis.
• 0:59

  Speaker 2: Anybody out there listening, I need some shirts.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay. And people listening will wear it, too. Ray,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: you had the first game at Highmark Stadium, week two
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: against the Lions, put up 41 points. The entire game,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the day felt like a movie. What is one memory
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: that you will carry with you from that game?
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: The traffic. That's when I knew how serious this was.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I figured the players were SOL.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Listen, if anybody police want to escort me next time,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: please call me because it was a hassle but outside
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: of that it was electrifying like it was loud like
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: I swear on some third downs like you were like
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: you couldn't hear I would be talking to some of
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: the guys on the sideline you'll be like huh it's
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: because it was just yeah it was just so loud.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: In there so it was definitely electrifying.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: For sure did you try to come in any earlier
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: did you just go with your like same routine yeah
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I'm coming in this many hours before the game this
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: is usually what it.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Is Yeah, no, I 100% thought I was going to
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: get in the regular routine.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: No.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: I was just like, ah, you know, first gate, people
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: are probably like tailgating. And then as I started driving
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: and I got around the corner where I always go.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: And I was like, oh my God. I think I
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: sat in there for probably like 45 minutes.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: 45 minutes?
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: And then I kind of had to go in the
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: left lane and.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Get to going.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Why not? I've done that before too.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Hey, in desperate times.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: We got to work on game days. It's okay.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: You know, we got to get an escort next time.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I'll try.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe week three, show up a little bit earlier.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Or are you going to wait in traffic? You don't care.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I'll be there early for sure.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I'll be there early for sure. Your guy, James Cook,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: went off for 300. It felt like 300. James Cook
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: rushed for 135 yards against the Lions. You have a
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: front row seat to how Cook operates because that's your teammate.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: What's one thing that still surprises you with the way
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: he runs?
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Oh, you know, I don't think nothing really surprises me. Like,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: I get to see it every day. I see it
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: in practice. I get to see it in games. So
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: he just continues to be James Cook, and that's all
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: I could expect him to be is James Cook.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: It's video game numbers.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: What does he do so well?
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: He's just a smooth criminal. Just a smooth operator and
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: a smooth criminal, for sure.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: He now has the fifth most rushing yards in franchise
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: history at just over 4,400 rushing yards. Still younger in
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: his career. I'm excited to see what Cook can do
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: when you look back at his entire career as a
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill. But when you look at his IQ, what
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: does he do well as it relates to understanding the game?
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: I think he just kind of, he lets the game
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: come to him. And when you watch him, it's like, it's,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: it's like, it's poetry in motion in a way, right?
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Like you never feel like he's pressing on the gas
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: or he has to overdo it when you're watching him.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: It's like, he's just in flow state and he's just
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: playing football. And it's, it's like, you, no one's going
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: to stop his trajectory of like how he moves and
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: how his engine moves. Right.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Like there's no start and stop with James. It's like,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: he's smooth all the way through and everything he.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Does is just so normal to us. Like it's, I
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: guess I get front row seat. So I get to
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: see it all. And it's been, been exciting so far.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: It was exciting last year and hopefully it continues. The
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: way it's going now is going to be pretty exciting
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: this season.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, 135 rushing touchdown. Smooth criminal. I like the way
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: you explain that because that's what it looks like when
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Cook hits the field. It just looks like he was
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: meant to do this. He was put on this earth
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: to run through defenses and do a good job at it.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Cook can't do it alone though. You have to have
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: the offensive line. You have to have some blockers to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: open up those rushing lanes. Through two weeks... Who on
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the offensive line deserves an award for their blocking?
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: I'm a guy that's never going to single one particular
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: guy out. If I am going to single a guy out,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: it has to go to Meyer.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: It has to go to the coach.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: I think Coach Pat, what he's been doing, coming in
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: and just letting those guys play their style of football,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: the way they're all communicating on a high level. Realistically,
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: you've got a very similar O-line with just an exchange
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: with dave to alec right but alec has took a
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: lot of those reps last season coming in a tackle
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: one game guard center he's he's a swiss army knife
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: right so when you just plug a person like that
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: in who's already with a great old line like the
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: guys are it just makes it it makes it effortless
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: in a way of like okay let's over communicate we
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: know what we're doing but let's over communicate so then
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: we don't have to worry about the little things that's
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: going i think that's kind of what meyer's been really
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: pushing them is communicate communicate talk to each other what
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: are you seeing You know, you see D-Doc talking to
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Alec at times.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: They're communicating. So I think that's just something that's been
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: pretty well for them so far.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of the offensive line was, you know,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: bummed to see Aaron Cromer retire because they love the
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: technique that Cromer coached with. But you bring in an
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: offensive line coach named Pat Meyer who comes from the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Cromer tree and you get a lot of the same
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: coaching style, coaching tactics. And I know the offensive line
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: has loved getting to learn from him so far. What
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: have you learned about Meyer in his short time here
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: in Buffalo?
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: He has a lot of knowledge. I mean, he's coached
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: a lot of ball.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: He's been around some really good running backs and, you know,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: recently coming from Pittsburgh. So he was with some good
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: guys up there too. But I think just learning the
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: game and seeing how he envisions himself being out there
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: and things of that nature.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: But he's also a smooth criminal.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Like he's quiet at times, but he'll crack a couple jokes.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I like that. I like that. Ray, we had a
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: nice long weekend because you guys got the big dub
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: on Thursday, so that means you had the weekend to
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: chill and a nice couple of days before you get
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: back to practice for week three. So what did you
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: do this past weekend and Tuesday off day as well?
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: You know, I got a chance to go see A
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Boogie with the Hoodie, if anybody's familiar with A Boogie.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Pretty good.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Got to relive my 2016 life. Got to listen to
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: A Boogie. My family was in town, so I took
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: them there. Family friends were in town, too. Just had
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: a good little night out. Enjoyed it with some of
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: the guys. Max and them was there, too, so it
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: was pretty fun. Other days, I just chilled. I actually
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: just drove back from Albany, seeing the Capitol. It was
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: on the bucket list, so I was like, you know what?
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Let's go knock it out. And now I'm back in Buffalo.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Okay. What were your impressions of visiting the Capitol?
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Eh, you know, it's the Capitol.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: What did you do, Ray?
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: You know, walked around, sightseeing, read some history, looked up
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: some things, learned a little bit about Albany.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: But it was more like, hey, I've been up to
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Toronto plenty of times. Let's just go a different direction.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: That's amazing. I love that. Ray's travels. Where will Ray
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: go next? That's not Toronto.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: That's not Toronto, thankfully. Somewhere else.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Was there one thing that you learned that you looked
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: up that you're like, I didn't know this and this
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: is actually interesting. All right.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: So I have to redeem myself. My rookie year, they
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: had asked, what is the capital of New York?
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: And I swear to God, I.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Said, what'd you say?
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Like New York city.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: And everyone's like, wrong so that's something I learned is
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: you know where the capital is and what's the capital
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: of New York so.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: It's Albany and Ray has been there.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: I've been there and now no one can ever ask
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: me that question again because I don't know what it is.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I love it okay Ray we have some awards to
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: hand out you have some awards to hand out who
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: earns Ray Day's big plays Ray.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Day's big plays you know as I was going back
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: and looking at the game.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: And I felt this one hit by an individual.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Like the whole crowd felt it right And I got
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: to give it to our captain, Sam Franklin.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: If you saw him in the kickoff, he's screaming. I
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: think he was at the R. He might have been
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: at the R3, R4. Came screaming, bent the corner. Whole
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: stadium heard that thing.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Smack.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Smack. Got to get it going right there. So that's
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: my first Ray Day big play.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Second play, Ray Day's big play, is Deion Walker. Deion
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Walker is... I don't know if anyone sees it, but, again,
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: I see it. DC sets a stunt for Deion. Deion
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: wraps all the way around.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Long arms.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: It's a picture, I think, of Jared Goff trying to
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: throw over him. Man, disrupts the play. And not only that,
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: I think he did it three straight times. So, you know,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: I got to give him number two. And got to
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: give it to my dog. And he's getting an award later, too, so,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: you know, I can't do too much. But Michael Hoyt,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: I think he got a sack.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: First sack coming back. So that's my third big play.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: It was pretty cool to see that, too, to see
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: what he came back from and get it going from there.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: What do you love most about your teammate Sam Franklin Jr.? Because...
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: He is something else on the field.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Most people may not know this, which people should. I
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: actually went to Temple. I went to Temple. And me
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: and Sam were teammates. I was a teammate my true
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: freshman year. I think Sam might have been in his
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: junior or senior year. So I've known Sam for a long,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: long time. And how he plays now is how he
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: was in college. Sam has not changed as a player.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: He's aggressive. He's ruthless.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: He's going to give you everything he got, and he will–
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: dial and i feel for his teammates so to see
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: that now many years later to be his teammate be
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: somebody who he's leading on special teams to be able
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: to watch and see how he does it every day
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: has been has been tremendous to see and it's nostalgic
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: in a way because he was doing it years ago.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Too Sam also has a really cool story just with
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: how hard he had to work to get into the league.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I know at one point he had to pay for
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: his schooling. Maybe it was when he was in prep school,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: didn't have a pro day, didn't have the combine because
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: he came out during COVID, was undrafted and, you know,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: walked on. So he's just got a bunch of doors
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: that were shut in front of him along the way.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: And he has found a way to open every single
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: one of those doors.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, For someone who's been in the same shoes
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: as him, I know what that feels like. You have
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: that mindset of it's me versus the world and me
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: versus everybody. And everything that you do, now you have
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: to really lock in because you want to achieve something
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: that most people feel like you can't achieve. And when
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: you try, the doors have been slammed in front of you.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: So I have a lot of respect for Sam. We
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: come from a very similar background. He did the prep
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: school thing. I did the prep school thing. And just, again,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: understanding that. You have a different mentality and a different
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: dog inside you because you've seen the dark days, and
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: now the light is starting to come, and now you're
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: experiencing what the light looks like.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: It's like you still want to work hard as if
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: you're still in those dark days.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Love Sam Franklin. Love the energy that he brings to
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: this team, especially on special teams. Great Ray Days Big
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Plays Awards. I think you hit all three, and now
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: it is time. For Super Rain.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: I'm flying through, flying through. I am taking off my cape.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: And I'm giving my cape to someone who deserves the
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: cape of the day.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: And that is, drumroll please, Michael Hoyt. And why I
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: say Hoyt is because he gets his first sack.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: We've seen Hoyt go down during a very, very pivotal
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: game for us last year against the Chiefs.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: He was balling.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: He was a monster on our defense playing that spinner position,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: moving around and doing different things for us. gets hurt,
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: doesn't leave the game, as many people see, and has
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: mic'd up. He sat there and cheered the boys.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: On the entire time.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: And to see that sack in the stadium, new Hallmark Stadium,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Highmark Stadium, and that's a moment that he gets to
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: have Canadian and National Anthem, first game back, gets a sack,
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: get the W.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Hey, I'm so, so proud of you.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: I know it's coming from a guy who's who's still
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: kind of a rookie in a way, and you're a vet,
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: but I'm so proud of you and everything that you did,
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: the hard work that you put in. I've seen it
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: during the summer, and to see that sack happen, much love,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: my guy.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: So congratulations. You are Super Ray of the Day.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Nice. Cape of the Day going to Michael Hoyt. Hoyt
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: is somebody, when the Bills announced, okay, we're going from
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: 4-3 to a 3-4 defense, he's one of the first
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: players I immediately thought of and thought, Hoyt is going
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: to have a field day in this defense with defense
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: the way that they can move him around because he
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: was already doing it last year.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, 100%. He's athletic, right? You could drop him
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: in coverage. You could rush him.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: He has both abilities to do anything that you need
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: him to do. He's versatile, right?
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: But when you got him and Greg doing the same thing,
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: it's like you got to wipe off the glasses and go,
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: are those DBs out there?
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Like, what do they look like? But, yeah, Hoy definitely
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: has been pretty good in this defense so far.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: All right, we're going to take a break. Interview segment
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: is coming up next. But Ray and I will be
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: back to discuss some of the best fits from week
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: two and look ahead to week three. Stay with us. Cole,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: thanks for taking the time to be on Inside the Charge.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Appreciate you being here today.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: Thank you for having me. Happy to be here.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: You are in your third NFL season. What's the biggest
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: difference from a year one Cole Bishop to a year
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: three Cole Bishop?
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: It's a good question. I would say probably just the
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: experiences I've had. Obviously, new coaching and everything. So been
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: in a couple of different defenses. I feel like I
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: know a lot more football. Off the field, I feel
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: like I've grown in, you know, my leadership role to
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: an extent. Just trying to do things the right way.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: Not that I wasn't doing them before, but just, you know,
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: continuing to try to keep that standard that we had
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: from before with, you know, guys like Taryn, Micah, and Jordan.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: So just trying to keep what they built and keep
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: focusing on that.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Off the field, growing in your leadership skills, what area
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: in your leadership has grown most?
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not a super vocal guy, so that could
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: definitely grow more.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: That's okay.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: But just leading by my work ethic on the field,
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: off the field, just trying to do things.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: The right way.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Joe Brady said in the beginning of the season that
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Cole Bishop is as confident as it gets right now.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Where are you most confident in your game?
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: I feel good all over. I feel like, obviously, there's
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: plays going back over the past couple weeks, but going
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: into the season, I felt really good in coverage and
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: my run fits, tackling, just feel good.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Feeling good out there. You are a hard hitter with
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: a quick trigger. Is there one aspect of your game
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: that's coming easily right now?
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: That's a good question. I feel like my processing on
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: the field has picked up a lot this year. Obviously,
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: it's still hard, but I feel like the game slowed
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: down a little bit compared to the first two years,
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: so I feel like I'm seeing things pretty clear.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: When you're seeing things clearly, what does that look like
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: on the field?
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just being in the right spot at the right time,
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: trying to not, you know, do more than your job,
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: but when the play comes to you at your job,
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: make it.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: You have a new defensive coordinator in Jim Leonard. He
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: spent 10 years in the NFL as an undrafted safety.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: What area of the game does his expertise show up most?
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: I feel like the way he's calling the game, he's
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: kind of adaptable, you know, like I think he, I
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: saw something he was talking about being on the sideline,
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: being able to kind of feel the vibe of the
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: what we need and everything which I like I think
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: being on the sidelines helpful for him um but I
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: mean there's only so much you can do on defense
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: and I feel like we do a good job of
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: being aggressive at times while also being.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Smart you said Jim Leonard is on the sideline during
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: the game what's the communication difference of seeing your defensive
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: coordinator in front of you in game and walking through
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: things versus being upstairs yeah it's not.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: As much as you would think okay um For the
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: most part, it's still your position coach getting that whatever
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: information Jim wants to get to us through them. True.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: He can't go to every group after each series and,
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: you know, go over the things. But I think on some, like,
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: crucial points, he'll be in there letting you know what
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: he's thinking.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Have you seen any of his NFL tape from his
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: playing days?
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: We've gotten to see some highlights. We've gotten to see
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: some highlights.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Okay. Has there been anything that stood out that you're like, dang,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: this guy was a really good safety player?
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, his physicality in some of the clips we saw,
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: he was definitely a physical player, which is something that
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: I always try to strive for. So that's definitely cool
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: to see.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: When Jim Leonard spoke about what he wants from Buffalo
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Safety Group, he said, I was a Swiss Army knife
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: when I played. I want that out of my players.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: How are you being a Swiss Army knife right now?
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, if you're watching the games, I feel
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: like I'm doing a lot of different things from first,
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: second to third down, you know, being deep sometimes down.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: on third down playing some of that dime roll sometimes
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: and just kind of mixing it up. I feel like
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: I'm kind of able to play all over.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Why do you enjoy roaming the field throughout a game?
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it puts the offense in a tough
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: spot on what we're doing. If I'm showing one thing
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: when I'm down and then the next time it's something else,
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: I think it's a lot harder for them to predict
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: what we're going to be doing.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: You have had interceptions last year. You had three interceptions,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: two sacks. When it comes to being an effective playmaker
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: out there, Is there one thing within a game where
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: it's a sack or interception that you're like, this makes
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: me feel good? I get pumped up when I do
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: this on the field.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Any of those. Interception by far is the most, but
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: a sack, interception, fumble, any takeaway or explosive play is huge.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like this defense is going to be
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: bound for plenty of takeaways this season?
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: I think the D-line has been doing great, and we
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: just got to start taking the ball away.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of that defensive line, Greg Russo and Deion
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Walker have been playing out of their minds. What's been
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: the biggest difference in their game this season?
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: I don't know if I, even if there's like a
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: biggest difference, I mean, just the amount of pressure they're getting.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's awesome seeing, a lot of times I've
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: been pretty close to the line of scrimmage on the
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: third down, so I'm able to see that. Like by
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: the time I get to my man, they're already, getting
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: pressure on the quarterback and making him scramble, or they
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: already got him to the ground, which is huge for us.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: You've watched two games back now. You've had two games.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Has there been one play where you've watched back when
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: the defense has been on the field that you've said
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: to yourself, how can this player do that? That's crazy.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, more than one, for sure. I mean, Greg and
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: Dion are freaks of nature. They're both huge, obviously, in
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: their own way, but I mean, they make so many
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: good plays.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: It's awesome.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been so fun. Dan Walker's so fast.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: For his size it's crazy very impressive.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: It is crazy uh switching from a 3-4 or 4-3
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: defense I should say to a 3-4 defense what changes
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: for a safety when you make that.
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: Switch yeah I feel like not as much as some
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: of the other positions um we have different things that
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: have changed in the defense for us but the actual
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: front I feel like our run fits are a adjustment
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: for the front guys.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Another new adjustment this year is playing next to safety C.J. Garner-Johnson. C.J.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: has a huge personality on and off the field. Cole Bishop,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: you give more chill vibes. Why does having two different
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: personalities work for you two?
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's good. I think we both know
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: what we need ourselves on game day and in practice
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: and everything, and I think we're both able to bring
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: that different approach us having different, you know, kind of
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: being opposites to an extent is good because I think
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: it just, you're able to have a little bit of both.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: How does CJ see the game differently than you do?
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: Um, it's a good question. I feel like you kind of,
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: you learn a lot through the coaches you've had, I think,
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: and you know, their terminology and everything. So we obviously
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: have different terminology on some things and we're still working on,
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: you know, everybody speaking that same language, but I think
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: he sees it similar to me on trying to go
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: after the ball, trying to be physical, and just trying
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: to be in the right spot.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: What is the biggest thing you've learned from CJ?
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: I feel like one thing I admire about him is
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: his confidence. I think he believes in himself, has unwavering
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: belief in himself, and I think that's something that I
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: could try to take from him.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: On the field and off the field, that unwavering belief,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: where does it show up most?
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: That's a good question. I feel like I mean, I'd
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: want to say on the field, I guess, because he's
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: confident out there, he's making plays, so I'd probably say
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: on the field.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Just having that confidence in your position group and on
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: the defense, what can that do for an entire unit?
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think when you trust the guy next to you,
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: it allows you to free up more, play more free,
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: and I think obviously we're still working on it, but
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: I think we're making good progress.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Like you said, you guys are still working on that
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: chemistry and communication on the field. In a perfect world,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: what does that look like when two safeties are playing
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: off of each other?
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just being on the same page, almost not even
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: having to communicate with each other you know there's times
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: um when i got more comfortable or after i played
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: with somebody you know in the past couple years for
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: more times like you can almost you don't even have
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: to look at one another at times just kind of
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: sense in what he's doing you already know what he's
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: going to do versus a certain look and i think
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: just you know continue.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: And build on to that you wore a shirt for
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: the home opener that said frugal kitchens and cabinets how
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: are you connected to a kitchens and cabinets company.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah so that's my dad's company my uh I was
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: born in Boston, and then we moved to Georgia when
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: I was two. He did a couple other things there
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: whenever we first got there, but he ended up opening
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: a kitchen and cabinet company, and he's been doing that
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: for as long as I can remember. So, yeah, it's
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: kind of within our family.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I love that. Was that a, I got to wear
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: this for the home opener?
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: No, no, no.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: How do Cool Bishops fits come together for games?
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: They're pretty last minute, to be honest. Morning of, see
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: what I got out, see what clothes are ready. I
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: saw the shirt and, you know, had to represent. And
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: I sent them a picture on the way over to
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: the game, and they were excited. They liked it.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: Let's go.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's some good advertising for sure.
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: Shout out for Kitchens and Cabinets.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Hey, if you guys need Kitchens and Cabinets done, you
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: know where to go.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Down to Georgia. Yep. What do you do for fun, Cole?
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: In the off season, I like to play golf, hang
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: out with my friends. Me and my friends from high
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: school are pretty close. We all grew up together, so
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: I go back home a lot. Right now, I like
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: to play video games. Yeah, really just game, play golf.

• 23:35
  Speaker 4: one just came out, so still working through that.
• 23:37

  Speaker 4: Still working on that, but yeah, mostly basketball.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: And golf game, what was working for you this summer?
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: Nothing really. Nothing was really working.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I ended up joining the club here, so tried
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: to play a lot. Had some health stuff, so didn't
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: get to play a ton. True. Next year is my year.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Next year is your year. What comes easy? I don't
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: know if I want to say easy. What is natural
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: for you in the game of golf?
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Nothing.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: I'm bad.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: You're an athlete.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Stop.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: You're an NFL player, Cole.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: I thought the same. haven't been making much progress.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: For you uh you got power in your.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: Swing yeah but you know that's on and off too
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: so we got a lot of work to do.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Okay we got a lot of work to do so
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: this is the off season that you're gonna become a
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: great golfer just take.
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: Some football and football and football football first yeah football.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: First yeah off season just take some lessons from josh
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: allen yep i think he's got it figured out okay
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: let's finish up with some rapid fire questions how do
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: you treat yourself after a win.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: Some ice cream What type of ice cream? Just any
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: type of.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Any flavor?
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: Nothing specific. I wouldn't say I'm picky on desserts. I'm
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: a big dessert guy. I feel like some Ben and
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: Jerry's or Haagen-Dazs, if that's how you say it. I
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: like both of those.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Okay. What is a unique part of your daily routine?
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: I like to get in the sauna a lot, usually
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: after workouts or a practice or anything. And then on
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: game day, something unique. I feel like I don't listen
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: to a lot of music before the game. Not for any,
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, whatever's going on in the locker room, but
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: I don't always have headphones in. Not for any, I
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: don't really have a good reason for it, but.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: You don't feel like you need music to lock in?
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: No, I feel, to be honest, I feel like I
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: remember I saw a while ago somebody said something to
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: the extent of you don't play with music. A former professional,
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: I honestly don't remember who it was, but a good
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: player said something that you don't have the music while
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: you're out there. So, you know, prepare without it.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Okay thinking about like game day ramping up are you
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: somebody who wakes up and you're already there or do
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: you try and slowly build as you get closer to kick?
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: I try to slowly build but I think there there's
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: kind of waves you know um maybe not right when
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: I first wake up you know kind of when I
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: get home in that little break especially for an 8
• 25:49
