  Speaker 1: Welcome into another episode of Inside the Charge. Running back
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Ray Davis over here. I'm Maddie Glab. Happy to be
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: back with you guys coming off of a week one victory. Ray,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: what a first game. I mean, remember to last year
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: first game? It was a crazy game. Week one, 2026.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: is crazy as well. Eight lead changes. It went down
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: to the final play as a team. What did you notice.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: About the personality of your teammates on the sideline?
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that's something we practice every day, being
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: in those situations where two-minute drill, got to get a touchdown,
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: got to get a field goal, whatever the case may be.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Joe puts us in those scenarios, and nobody flinches. Nobody
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: thinks the moment's too big. You just play the.
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: Next play, and whatever happens, happens, and you just.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Keep it going.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Through a game like that, though, that had four lead
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: changes in the fourth quarter alone, stuff is hitting the fan.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. There's a lot of communication happening. There's a
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: lot of belief that you have to put in yourself
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: as a player. What happens on the sidelines in moments
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: like that?
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: And you just the moment's not too big like you
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: just sit back and you let things kind of handle
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: itself you know you can't predetermine things you can't predetermine
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: if you know that throw or that catch or that
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: run's going to be the deciding factor I think you
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: look at it's just a preparation like Josh Palmer and
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Josh Allen they practice that route every day after practice
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: for moments like that right so it's just understanding that
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: the moment's not big and it's something you did every
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: day and now it's like to the world it's like
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: oh my god like They just won.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: But to us, it's like we're made for those moments.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: We practice those moments.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: We envision us winning games like that where it may
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: come down to the wire. It may be a blowout.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: You never know. But, again, staying true to yourself and
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: staying true.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: To the play that's called and running the route that
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: you're supposed to run, and good things happen.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: Josh Palmer, great things happen.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Great things happen to Josh Palmer, but talk about going
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: from the play before to having the game winning catch
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the play before Josh Palmer's catch was almost intercepted. And
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you decide to go right back to that receiver who mistake,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: but then you're like, I believe in this guy to
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: do it again.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: That's pretty wild.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: It's the belief comes through.
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: It's the belief that Joe has in us, but I
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: think it's also the belief of what Josh Allen has
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: in his receivers, right? Like, you know, any other situation,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: maybe someone's like, ah, okay, I can't throw it to him.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: I got to find someone else.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: But it just shows again, the preparation that they work
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: on every day.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: And you built that.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Trust with Josh and, He's never going to go away
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: from you. He's always going to hype you up. He's
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: always going to tell you, hey, next play, I might
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: come back to you.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: So be ready.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: And shout out to Josh Palmer for being between two defenders,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: getting that inside leverage and getting just enough space to
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: make that catch. So happy to see him healthy and
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: thriving to start off the season. I know he battled
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: through multiple injuries last year that a lot of the
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: public didn't even know about until after the season. And
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: then he revealed it was like, oh my gosh, you
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: were on the field still working through like three injuries.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: So I'm so happy for him. Can't wait to see
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: what he has in store this season.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Who's the hype man on the sidelines when, when a
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: game is tight?
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Ooh, I mean, you got to start with CJ Gardner.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: CJ is always going to be the hype man. One,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: it was, it was his previous team. So He definitely
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: has some added juice there, but I'd say CJ, shockingly,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: everybody on the offense is very calm.
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: But if you look closely, Jimbo never sits down. Jimbo's
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: always walking around.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: He has to go.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: He's always been like that.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: From my time here, he's always been like that.
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: He'll tell you that.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: He doesn't sit down.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: He's coasting back and forth, but he's doing it in
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: a way where he's hyping up the defense, and then
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: he's talking to the offense, and then he's just constantly
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: giving his energy. When the defense is on, when they're
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: on the field, Jimbo's locked in watching. So I guess
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: you could say that's a hype man in a way
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: because when you see him pacing, you know that's a
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: good thing.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Is that opposite of what you would expect from Jimbo
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: to be that type of hype man on the sidelines?
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've been around Jimbo.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: You know James Cook.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: You know him.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know him too much.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: I know the little bit that I do know.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: You know him more than me and everybody watching this podcast, right?
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah. I don't know him too much, but it's definitely.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Cool to see.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's part of his play style.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: We've seen that from him on the sidelines in the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: past couple years, like you noted.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: We also got to talk about Joe Brady.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Getting his first win as the Bills head coach you
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: saw that fire in him after the game ended and
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: he fist pumped his headset goes almost flying because he's
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: celebrating uh and just knowing the game that he called
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: for his offense trusting his defense to go out there
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: and win it what did you see out of his
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: demeanor throughout the game.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Right just Joe Brady being Joe Brady man and and
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: uh you know he had belief in himself and belief
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: in us to go out there and get that W
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: and That's a special thing when, again, everybody in the
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: organization believes in themselves and believes in the next person
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: next to them.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk about special teams on this podcast
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: because that is an important phase of the game. You
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: play in that phase as a kick returner. Greg Dortch
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: was also back there returning punts. How would you evaluate
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: the return game overall against the Texans?
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I think special teams overall, not just the return game.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Special teams overall as a unit. When you got Sam
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Franklin getting doubled on kickoff, that's a respect to him.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: They should be doubling Joe Andreessen too because he almost
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: led the NFL in tackles as a special teams guy
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: last year. So when you got those two guys working
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: hand-in-hand and feeding off each other, making our kickoff unit amazing.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: You know, reversed that Tommy. Tommy had a great punt
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: that pinned those guys. What, almost at the five?
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: At the four.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: At the four, right.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: And, again, that's a rookie and a big moment, right? So,
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: shout out to Tommy.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: And then, obviously, the return game, Greg Dortch started off
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: with a great return. Getting us, I want to say,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: to the mid-30s. And then, I think, get another one
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: around the 40s. So, just seeing how electrifying he is
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: and having a counterpart like that where, again, if they
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: don't want.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: To kick it to me, well, you got to kick
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: it to Greg. And Greg's very explosive himself.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: If they don't want to kick it to me, Ray,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: that's something you have to deal with this season.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: What's your approach early on with that?
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: You know, hoping that Greg continues to have success so
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: then they have to eventually come back to me.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Even the playing field.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Even playing.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: But it's scary kicking it to him. So if I'm
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: a special teams coordinator, it's kind of like you just
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: got to pick your poison, right?
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: And it's going to be a hard day for you.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: We're looking forward to seeing much more explosive returns out
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: of you. And Greg, this season, we also have to
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: recap that defensive performance because, man, oh, man, when the
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: game is on the line, they answered. They won it.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Joe Brady had a quote at the end of the game,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: which I thought was awesome. He said, I want our defense.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: to be in those situations. And I want our defense
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: to want to end the game, to be the unit
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: that wins it for us. And Greg Russo does that
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: with a sack strip fumble with 16 seconds.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Left on the clock.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Third and goal, Houston had a chance to win it there.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: But Greg Russo said, not so fast. Here I come
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: as an outside linebacker. Where were you at on the
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: sideline when that happened? And what was going on as
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: you watched that unfold?
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Well, first let me go back to the comment that
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: I made last week when we shot, and we said
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: raise big plays.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: What was it going to be?
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: And if we bring up that clip again, I said
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: the defense is going to get, again, raise big plays, right?
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Because what Jim is doing is letting those guys play, man.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: It looks like they're having fun. They're having some freedom
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: out there.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: And, again, Greg stepping into an outside linebacker role works
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: well for him because he could do it all from
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: dropping in coverage. I think– I want to say third quarter,
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: he dropped in coverage, had a pass breakup.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, he was like sideways flying through the air. I
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: was like, huh?
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you would have.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Never thought that.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you would have never thought that. But yeah, so
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: he had that great play. And then obviously the strip sack,
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: he had a sack earlier in the strip.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Again, he's playing lights out right now. It's week one, right?
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: Obviously.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: But I think he's.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: Finding his groove.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: I think he's feeling comfortable in his new role. And
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: then overall, everybody's just been popping it, right? Like Bradley
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Chubb's in there. Deion Walker, Kentucky guy.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Can we talk about Deion Walker?
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you, man.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: His feet are so fast.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: That last sack that he had for a loss of
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: nine with like 25 seconds left to play, the way
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: he got off that block and had to travel up
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: the field to go get C.J. Stroud, I was in
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: awe watching that back. I know you know him from
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: his Kentucky days, so you might not be as in
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: awe as I am, but.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: It might be the water in Kentucky. I don't know. We, we,
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: we breed some dogs, right? Like we breed some dogs.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Six, seven, 330 pounds. He's just like trucking dudes.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Trucking dudes. And then you've got a corner on a four, two,
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: eight out there. Max balling.
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Being able to strap up guys. So, um, it's, it's
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: definitely cool to see. I've seen it again in college.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: I've seen it in the NFL. Now I'm happy for
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: both of those guys. I'm happy for Dion, but he
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: played a great game. Defense overall played a great game. Um,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: But I think one of my many awards, not a segment,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: many awards has to go to CB, Christian Bedford.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Okay, which award? are we giving him? Are we doing
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Ray Day's.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Big play right now? It's more just giving him.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: His props, man. Okay, we're giving flowers.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: He was giving flowers, being on the receiver one, Nico Collins,
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: and he had a long day with him. But, again,
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: he was victorious throughout the day, so shout out to CB.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: I didn't get to tell him that after the game,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: so this is my time telling you, shout out to UCB.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you mentioned a player like Christian Benford because
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Nico Collins did have some catches in that game. And
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: as a cornerback, you're going to go up against some
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: of the best wide receivers in the game every single
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: year because there are so many of them. But to
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: not back down from a challenge like that and come
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: out victorious at the end, I think says a lot
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: about just.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: His mentality throughout the entire game.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: 100%.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, should we get into Ray Day's big plays here?
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we can get it to Ray Day's Big Play.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Or do you want to do the other one first?
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Huh?
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: You want to do the other one first or Ray
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Day Big Play?
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: We can go Ray Day's Big Play.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, Ray Day's Big Play.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Theme music. We need like a theme song for this.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, we got to do like a whole, yeah.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Should we buy an award like we did last year,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Trey and I, for Trey's Dog of the Week? I
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: bought a dog, like a little trophy on Amazon. I
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: can buy a little Ray Day's Trophy of the Week.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: You can hand it out every week. You like that idea?
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's three plays, so we've got to figure
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: it out.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: So maybe that's for the.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Other award that we'll reveal next.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, other award, yeah.
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Ray Day's big plays.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Ray Day's big plays.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: First on Ray Day's big plays, we have to go
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: to Josh Allen, DJ Moore Connection. We had a– I'm
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: not going to give out the play, but DJ's right there,
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: cover two. Josh puts the ball where only DJ can
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: catch it. Sideline, toe tap, stays and bounce. Takes it
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: to the crib. You see me and Khalil running around
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: doing some airplane with him. So that goes first play
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: off rip. Got to give that to DJ and Josh.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Second play is like you were just talking about my guy,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Deion Walker. Feet up the field. Gets the sack in
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: a very pivotal moment. And to finish it off, have
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: to stay on the defensive side. Greg Russo.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Greg Russo.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: Greg Russo.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Stepping up, making the sack, strip, fumble, 16 seconds, game over.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: Those are my three big plays.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Love those guys.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: You picked three good ones.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: Three great ones.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Two defensive, one offensive. It was fun to see all
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: three players come to life. DJ Moore, when I was
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: watching him throughout the game, I said this on the
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: radio earlier today, I was just, like, thinking he was
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: the smoothest operator out there. He just plays smooth, doesn't
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: look too big for him.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: It looks easy. I feel like he has such great.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Spatial awareness of the field, knowing where to be, knowing
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: where to sit in zones, knowing how to have an
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: advantage against defenders.
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: I was.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: I was really happy with what I saw.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: He's like a silent assassin. He doesn't talk much on
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: the sideline. He's just DJ Moore.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: He's just DJ Moore. We get to watch it all season.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: It's exciting.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Ray Day's Big Play is brought to you by Ray.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: We got another segment we want to introduce to the people.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: We're calling it Super Ray.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: This is me flying through the sky right now. and
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: I'm landing, and I'm taking my cape off, right? And
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: I'm giving my cape away to an individual who deserves
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: the cape of the day. And that cape of the
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: day goes to, drumroll please, Josh Palmer.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: I thought you were going to say Josh Allen, Josh Palmer!
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Yes, Josh Allen, but that's Josh Allen's thing.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: That's normal.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: That's video game numbers for Josh Allen.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: That's like a normal day.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: But the reason why I say Palmer is because it
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: goes back to, again, what he dealt with last year,
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: playing through those injuries, deserving of this moment. And all
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: he waited was to show the world why he is
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: still Josh Palmer, why he deserves to be the guy
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: that was brought in to be the guy. And biggest
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: play of the game. Go and get the W for us.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: So my cape and my salute goes to Josh Palmer.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: I love you, my guy.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: I'm happy you were able to do what you did.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: You are the Super Ray.
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: Of the day.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: That was his first catch of the game. First catch
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: of the game. Game-winning touchdown. Josh Allen said, stay ready
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: so you don't have to get ready. And that's what
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Josh Palmer did in that game.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: And to have the mental awareness to.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Go through a play before that where the ball almost
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: gets intercepted and know I'm just going to move on.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to dwell on this. I believe in myself.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: He said post game, I told myself I was going
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: to get the game winning touchdown and look at what happened.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Talking with Josh Palmer this offseason, he told me I
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: really worked on my mentality this offseason. That's one thing
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: that I wanted to perfect and get better at was,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: you know, self-talk and believing in myself. He said that
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: he read, I think it was like Michael Jackson's autobiography
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: and said that he really just drew on the confidence
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: that Michael Jackson had and wanted to kind of bring
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: that to his game this year.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: So I thought that was really cool. Nugget from Josh Palmer.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: And that's why he gets to Cape of the Day.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, final question for you before we get into our
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Deion Dawkins interview that I did this week. Coming out
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: of a game like that, week one, what did you
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: take away from that game?
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: What did you.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Think about on the bus ride to the airport?
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: I don't know the history of, you know, Houston and
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: the Bills, right? I think it's been a minute since.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: The first time the Bills won there since 2006.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: 2006.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dude.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, I only thought it was 2018. Okay. It's been
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: 20 years. So, yeah, I think it was one of those, like,
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: sigh of relief a little bit of, like, we finally
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: got it done. We know what it takes to get
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: it done. And I think it was just a happy
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: moment for a lot of those guys, right? But, again,
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: it's week one. You got to go 1-0 each and
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: every day, so that game's over. You're back to being 0-0,
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: and you focus on the upcoming week. But, overall, I'm
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: happy for this. For the guys, for the organization, just because, again,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: getting over that hump is never easy.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: We have Deion Dawkins on the podcast next. Do you
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: have a fun Deion Dawkins story you want to share.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: With the class?
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: It's not a funny story, but I think it's one
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: of those stories of how great the man is. My
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: rookie year, Deion works with the court system here, and
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: they were doing a graduation program for a lot of
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: kids who were getting out of the program that they
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: were in. And he invited me and giving me that
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: platform to go and speak to the kids and just
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: speak to the courthouse was pretty big because it just
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: showed that he knew what I came from and he
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: knew my words could be powerful to those who came
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: from similar situations.
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: So just seeing somebody like that who continues to want
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: to be a positive impact in the community and just
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: be the great person that he is. Shout out to D-Doc.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: I know the interview was probably amazing.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: It was. He was funny.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: He was in a mood where he wanted to play
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: instead of answer questions, which that's what Deion Dawkins, his
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: mood is a lot of the time.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: We're just having fun. So it made for a really
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: fun interview. So I hope you enjoy it. We'll be
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: right back. Deion, year 10 for you.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: Wow, right?
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: My how time flies. What is the one thing in
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: your routine that's given you this type of longevity?
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: My own water. You're funny. I'm serious, though. Water.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: You've been drinking your own waters for 10 years?
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: Oh, you said now.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: I didn't know that you meant the whole 10 years.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's given you this type of longevity.
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: Clear mind, being free, being true to who I am.
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: I don't try to be somebody like that I'm not.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: And I think, and I truly think, when you try
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: to be somebody that you're not, it can weigh on
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: you mentally, physically. You can try to do things that
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: you're really not.
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: Capable of doing.
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: That's more so off the field and on. Myself, I've
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: just been true to me. I haven't tried to do
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: anything that's out of the ordinary, not Deion, not Snow.
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: And I think mentally, that's what's been keeping me crazy
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: but sane. But besides that, the football stuff, it's all
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: about the same. Everybody's strong in this league. Everybody's fast.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: Everybody has a kind of good IQ. But besides that,
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: just keeping my mind clear of.
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: Not being fake, just being true to who I am.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Keeping you crazy, keeping you sane. There's like a meter
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: here between sane and crazy. Where are you at ahead
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: of this season on the meter?
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: Shoot, I'm right in the middle.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: You're right in the middle. Right where you want to be.
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: But more so towards the crazy side.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: You've got to be a little crazy.
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: I'm free. You know, I don't have no boundaries. It's
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: just be you. Be you with us, truly. And you
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: give me the free reign to be me. We all know.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: You dropped weight this offseason.
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: Did I?
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Why did you want to play lighter?
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: Bones, man.
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: It's like almost like I got tired of carrying around
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: like all that weight, extra pounds, you know, but what
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: I've learned is that like the older and what you get, obviously,
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: but your body changes. Like nobody wants to believe it, right?
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: Like everybody thinks that they're young forever. Like nobody like
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: wants to think like, and I'm good and I'm good,
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: but myself, I was like, but you know what, let
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: me change something before my body starts talking to me.
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: So I feel like I'm doing my body a favor by,
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: you know, doing this. And I'm one of the best
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: tackles in the world, right?
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: This is true.
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: Because I'm one of the best tackles in the world,
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: I want to remain one of the best tackles in
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: the world when I'm done. I don't want to, you know,
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: exit the game with, oh, yeah, he had a kind
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: of couple rough years at the end. I want to
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: end out on the top, you know, and not to
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: say that the end is anywhere near, but, you know,
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: just want to give my body a little token, which
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: is less weight.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Everybody loses weight differently. What was the easiest way for
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: it to come off for you?
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: Drinking water.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: True.
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: I'm telling you, you drink water, you lose weight. And exercise.
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: And when I mean exercise, I would walk, box, swim
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: every day.
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: And the recipe to losing weight is literally eat less,
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: work out more.
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: Simple as that.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Calories in, calories out.
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: That's it.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: There's no cheat code. If you want to lose weight,
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: I promise you, I can show you the right way.
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: Drink a lot of water. Drink a gallon and a
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: half a day. And don't eat a lot of food.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: Eat a piece of grilled chicken, a piece of salmon,
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: and call it a day. You know, and drink a
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: gallon and a half of water. You should be peeing
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: all day long.
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: Literally.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Fun fact from Deion Dawkins.
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: Pee all day. What goes in must come out.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Deion Dawkins, the swimmer. Are we freestyling?
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: Freestyle.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Are we butterflying?
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: Nah. Come on.
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: I can butterfly, but I'm not a butterfly type of guy.
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: But freestyle is all day.
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: All day.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Backstroke?
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: You know, backstroke is kind of hard.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: It is hard.
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: I got heavy calves. They sink. They sink.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Your calves are as big as my torso.
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: But freestyle, for real. Okay.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: Freestyle. Lose some weight.
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: For sure. Freestyle snow.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Playing at a lighter weight.
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: How do you feel it showing up in practices?
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: I'm quicker. I'm definitely quicker. My body's not getting fatigued.
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: My legs don't feel heavy. You know, and I feel like,
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: I feel like I'm floating. You know, like I feel
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: like I'm floating. And then I trick in my mind. Like,
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: I'm like, bro, you were twice as heavy. This should
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: be easy.
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: And I make my mind think that it's easy, even
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: though it's still.
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: Hard, but.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Floating out there against some of the best defensive ends
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: in the league that you'll face this season.
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: Aren't they good?
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Floating is going to help you, right?
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: Floating is going to help me, for sure. It's going
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: to help Josh. Give Josh some more time.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: That's all he needs, one extra second.
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: One extra second is a long time. I was thinking
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: more of half a second.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Half a second?
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: No, for sure, a whole second. Maybe two or three.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Speaking of Josh Allen, you guys have been working together
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: now for nine years.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: How does he still keep you on your toes?
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: Josh keeps us on our toes, man. How does he
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: keep us on our toes? I would say Josh.
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: Because you never know where Josh is going to be like,
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: like you never know what he's he's going to do
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: or where he's going to be at. Is he going
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: to run out of the pocket and do like some crazy?
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: Is he going to jump over somebody? Is he going
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: to run through somebody like what is he going to do?
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: So because Josh is on the field with pads on
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: our toes are already on.
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: He keeps us there all day long. You know, Josh
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: is just a wild factor of a quarterback. And, you know,
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: You just got to have your, what we would say
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: in the football world, like you got to just keep
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: your piss hot, you know.
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Why are you looking forward to seeing him in year nine?
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: It's a different type of Scali. We're all about to
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: see married Scali. It's the first year for married Scali.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Stuff is going to go down.
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: Stuff is going to go up.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: Up.
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: And the ball is going to come down.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Didn't mean it as down. Meant like what's going on.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: But stuff is about to go up.
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: For sure.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: I like that.
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Excited for it.
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's going to be lit. Scally, Scally, Scally. Can

  Speaker 6: Scally.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Scally.
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: There you go. Scally 17.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Learning things on this podcast.
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: Josh is really mean, throwing footballs up and catching touchdown. Oh, yeah,
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: I got it.

  Speaker 2: Looking at your offensive line.
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: Quench your thirst.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Which one of your teammates grew the most this offseason?
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: Grew the most? Like got taller?
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: They're already tall, Dion.
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: What kind of grew? Like grew what?
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Grew in their football expertise.
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: Osiris. Osiris, he just got paid. So he crossed that threshold.
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: You know, he came back and showed something different. So
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: I would say Saibo. Saibo's time.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: A four-year contract extension.
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: How much you get?
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know.

  Speaker 2: What did he do to earn that starting job?
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: Alec's a.
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: Alex is a workhorse. You know, he's just, Alex is
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: just as crazy as me. You know, he busted his
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: behind every play, communicated well, and played good ball, you know.

  Speaker 5: We got to drift in the parking lot. Drifting at

  Speaker 3: Unreleased.
• 31:38

• 31:47
  Speaker 3: Dior shoes.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: They looked really nice.

• 31:51
  Speaker 3: to choose.
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: Which I didn't really get to see a lot of
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: people's fit. I'm going to have to say my counter partner,
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: James Cook. Okay.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: Came very trimmed. Black coat.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: All black everything.
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: All black everything.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: I wanted to see if he had the Prada shoes on.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: I think he had Prada shoes.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: It gave me business, business vibe, right? So I got
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: to go with my.
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: Counterpart, Jimbo.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: And then third, Max. Max. Max always throws.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: That stuff on though. He had a shirt that said,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: I love me on it, I think.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Was it his Uno brand shirt?
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it was his Uno brand.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: That's what I was trying to see. But speaking of
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Uno brand, one of the fits that I liked... Our guy,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Christian Benford, was head-to-toe Uno brand.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: Oh, yes, he did.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: He had the white with the orange, and then he
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: had the gray.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the orange block, long sleeve, and then he had
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: gray Uno pants.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: He was rocking it.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: And then he had the Saucony shoes, which are probably
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: collabed with the designer brand.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: I couldn't see exactly. Oh, man, I'm about to go
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: back and look for a fit. They looked cool as well.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: They were like orange shoes. So I thought Christian Benford
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: brought it. um, another fit I liked, I believe it
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: was Sam Franklin had like the green flashy Prada set.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: I didn't even see, see these, we all come in
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: like different buses. So it's like all the best dressed
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: people go like the third or third bus. Cause you know,
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: they want the pictures and they want everybody to see
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: them walk in. But I really believe the first bus
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: people have that stuff on.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: You know, you know, a guy who's best dressed too. I'm,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: I'm joking here. I love how Frank Gore just walks
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: in in Bill's gear. You've got to give props to
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: the guys who are just like, I don't have time
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: to figure out what I'm going to wear. I'm just
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: going to wear Bill's stuff.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Don't let Frank fool you, though. His closet is very,
• 33:30

• 34:00
  Speaker 3: That's one big one for sure that's in the head.

  Speaker 3: I think it's going to be beautiful because a lot
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: of people are going to get the experience. a new
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: like a new vibe right we sadly we left high
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: mark and now we're in something new so you get
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: to just start that new memory with a family member
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: a loved one a partner whatever it is it's just
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: one of those moments that you you won't forget you.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Got family and friends showing up for home opener.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: No man those tickets are too expensive they're they're a
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: little expensive so i told the family We're paying for
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: YouTube TV.
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: You better use it.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: Use YouTube TV.
• 35:00

  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. That's just the Bills Mafia effect right there.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: You know the stadium well. You've been in the player
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: facilities a bunch. What is one thing that Highmark Stadium
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: has that no other stadium you've been in.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: Has? I like our weight room kind of vibe set
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: where it's half turf and half weight room. I think
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: it gives you that ability where, you know, maybe if
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: you don't want to go outside, immediately you just start
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: warming up or, you know, be distracted by the fans
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: or whatever the case may be.
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: You have that area where it's quiet.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: It's to yourself, whether you want to get a quick
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: pump in, whether you just want to be there, lights
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: off and just envision what the game's going to be like.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: I think that's a great area to have. Our tubs
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: are amazing.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: We've got three tubs, a long hot tub, cold tub,
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: and then a whirlpool tub.
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: So that's the best part. Training room's outstanding.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: You a hot tub, cold tub guy?
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: You got to do that.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: You rotate after the game?
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: Heck yeah.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Sauna too?
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: Steam room as well? I'm a steam room guy.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: Sauna, dry heat, steam. I feel like it just gets
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: the job done.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: So what's the rotation after the game? Game ends. What
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: do you do in terms of rehab?
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: Oh, Eppensaw Bath. Okay, first thing.
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: The Jordan Poyer way, though.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: What's the Jordan Poyer way? He has about... So many
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: Epsom salts, I freaking forget, the hydroproxide, the other one,
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: and then he does a combination of sometimes 10 minutes in,
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: 5 minutes out.
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: It's a whole thing, but I do the Jordan Porter way.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, so you do that, and then what do you
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: do after? You jump to a hot tub, cold tub?
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: Hot tub, cold tub, take a shower, go home, sit
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: on my couch, and probably knock out.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: Wow, I like it. Sounds like a good post-game routine.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: Great post-game. Maybe on my way out, grab me a
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: Jersey Mike's.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: That's what I might do.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: Ooh, yum.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Ray, appreciate the time. Always fun chatting with you. Can't
