- 2:22Speaker 1: It's a little weird. We've seen so much of this
- 2:24Speaker 1: team this year, this summer, but we haven't seen anything
- 2:27Speaker 1: from this team.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Right.
- 2:28Speaker 1: We've we've seen so much with hard knocks and training
- 2:30Speaker 1: camp and our dive in, but we really haven't seen
- 2:33Speaker 1: anything with what this team's really gonna be and the
- 2:35Speaker 1: starters and whatnot. So excited to kind of see fill
- 2:38Speaker 1: out this week. Excited for somebody to make a play
- 2:41Speaker 1: as we go into the last preseason game and cut
- 2:43Speaker 1: down cut down Days a big day, Rob. I mean,
- 2:46Speaker 1: they used to what did they used to increment right
- 2:49Speaker 1: after each game, and now we're bringing guys in on
- 2:52Speaker 1: Monday just to make a team for the preseason and
- 2:55Speaker 1: they're getting hurt in practice. So it's a little wild,
- 2:57Speaker 1: but cut it cut down day, talk about an intimidating day.
- 3:02Speaker 1: It's you are nothing or you're making millions of dollars.
- 3:06Speaker 1: That's that's quite the calling to Flip Rolph.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is. A lot of dreams will be
- 3:11Speaker 2: realized or shattered at that point in time after Tuesday,
- 3:14Speaker 2: so we'll see. And obviously good luck to all those
- 3:16Speaker 2: young men who are chasing their dreams. Now joining us
- 3:19Speaker 2: tonight our special guest, longtime friend of the show. I
- 3:22Speaker 2: say that with affection and confidence because he's been a
- 3:26Speaker 2: listener and one of my good buddies down one of
- 3:28Speaker 2: my bills mafia buddies for sure, and DT's as well,
- 3:32Speaker 2: joining us tonight Scott Fry Check them out on Instagram
- 3:34Speaker 2: and Twitter at Scott M. Friday's f r e y
- 3:38Speaker 2: Holla at the crew, Scott, what's good man. Gave to
- 3:41Speaker 2: have you back, man, glad to have you back.
- 3:45Speaker 4: I want to unmute myself now we'll try it again
- 3:47Speaker 4: like a rookie move there, like I've never done this before.
- 3:50Speaker 4: So good to see everybody. Holla at the Nickel City,
- 3:53Speaker 4: the Buffalo people out there. It's good to see you guys.
- 3:56Speaker 4: I was just kind of commenting before we get started
- 3:58Speaker 4: DT look at all crisp and show any uh, you know,
- 4:01Speaker 4: very nice at the end of a work week. Good
- 4:03Speaker 4: to see you guys. Man. It's uh, it's been a
- 4:05Speaker 4: long off season. And uh, that's funny how you described that,
- 4:09Speaker 4: because we've seen a lot of stuff from the Bills,
- 4:11Speaker 4: but and it's all been in red, white and blue,
- 4:13Speaker 4: but none of us had anything to do with starters.
- 4:15Speaker 4: I'm dying out here, like what's it gonna be, you know,
- 4:19Speaker 4: particularly on the defensive side of the ball, man, I'm
- 4:21Speaker 4: anxious to see it in action.
- 4:22Speaker 1: So uh yeah, yeah, good to be here again.
- 4:25Speaker 2: Well, you know you're you're talking about the defense and
- 4:28Speaker 2: and it's interesting because the news out of the week
- 4:31Speaker 2: this week is that DT, Scott, I guess Trey White
- 4:35Speaker 2: came up gimpe the other night. And it's it's funny
- 4:39Speaker 2: because now, because there's no media availability Bills traveling down
- 4:42Speaker 2: to Tampa for that final preseason game that you spoke
- 4:44Speaker 2: about tomorrow night, we really won't hear anything and we
- 4:47Speaker 2: won't know anything pretty much until after the game at
- 4:51Speaker 2: the earliest. When Sean McDermot addresses the media, DT, I'm
- 4:54Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest with you, man, I was talking
- 4:56Speaker 2: with Scott pre show. I'm I'm concerned because of the
- 5:00Speaker 2: fact of what we call, you know, depth at that position.
- 5:03Speaker 2: I know that Max Harrison went down, so he's gonna
- 5:05Speaker 2: have a ramp up. He might even start the season
- 5:08Speaker 2: on IRA and missed about four games, and and as
- 5:10Speaker 2: he goes through that ramp up period, D t next
- 5:13Speaker 2: man up would be Dan Jackson. I that doesn't that
- 5:16Speaker 2: doesn't exude confidence for me. I am. I I'm a
- 5:20Speaker 2: little bit worried for sure. I don't obviously we don't know.
- 5:22Speaker 2: We're speculating that type of thing, but if Trey White
- 5:25Speaker 2: is not able to go, he was winning that camp
- 5:28Speaker 2: battle before Max went down. I don't I don't know, man,
- 5:31Speaker 2: that that's uh, that could be a sticky situation, to
- 5:34Speaker 2: say the least.
- 5:34Speaker 1: Man really interesting interesting concept here, boys, it's it's a
- 5:38Speaker 1: situation where we came in when we signed Trey White.
- 5:43Speaker 1: Everyone said, oh great, you know he's back. He fits
- 5:45Speaker 1: this squad. But zero expectation. You know, we saw kind
- 5:48Speaker 1: of the decline and obviously the two major injuries on
- 5:51Speaker 1: a Probably the second hardest position on the field behind
- 5:55Speaker 1: the quarterback is the corner. You know, your garden, a
- 5:58Speaker 1: dude that's bigger, faster, and strong than you and he
- 6:01Speaker 1: knows exactly what he's doing, and the quarterback knows exactly
- 6:03Speaker 1: what he's doing and you got to go step for
- 6:05Speaker 1: step with him and out physical them and make plays.
- 6:07Speaker 1: It's the second hardest job on the field other than
- 6:09Speaker 1: literally being behind center, in my opinion. So he comes in,
- 6:13Speaker 1: there's zero expectation, and then kind of we fall into
- 6:17Speaker 1: the little bit of the the glitz and glamor of it.
- 6:20Speaker 1: Trey White, he's supposed to be here, he looks good
- 6:23Speaker 1: in camp, He's finally back. This might be a he
- 6:26Speaker 1: might have his final breakout, and I think we bought
- 6:29Speaker 1: a little bit too much into that, and me included,
- 6:31Speaker 1: I'm just as much guilty. I'm not saying this helps
- 6:33Speaker 1: us by any means, but I think the expectations everyone
- 6:37Speaker 1: unanimously said they were low, and then all of a sudden,
- 6:41Speaker 1: now everyone's like, oh, acting like he's kind of our
- 6:43Speaker 1: all pro corner again, and he goes down and we're
- 6:46Speaker 1: screwed and all hell breaks loose. But in all reality,
- 6:49Speaker 1: we weren't expecting anything from this guy anyway. So I
- 6:52Speaker 1: fell into it. I kind of caught like, Okay, Maxwell
- 6:54Speaker 1: Harrison's out, well, Trey White's here, he's been playing good
- 6:57Speaker 1: in camp. We can kind of fill this void and
- 6:59Speaker 1: play with him. But now that he might be gone,
- 7:02Speaker 1: we don't know yet. They're traveling like you said, they're
- 7:04Speaker 1: traveling today, we don't know anything about the injury itself.
- 7:07Speaker 1: It I think it kind of just a snapback to
- 7:10Speaker 1: reality for Mafia and Nicol City crew of like we
- 7:12Speaker 1: didn't have expectation, and then all of a sudden, now
- 7:15Speaker 1: he's an all pro and now he's hurt and we're screwed.
- 7:18Speaker 1: Like I'm not fully bought into that because I had
- 7:20Speaker 1: zero expectation coming.
- 7:21Speaker 2: In Scott it. You know. Now, DT's right for sure.
- 7:26Speaker 2: I definitely didn't have high expectations, but it's hard not
- 7:28Speaker 2: to get. I think it's part of it is because
- 7:30Speaker 2: you know the player that he is. And I love
- 7:32Speaker 2: Trey White when he's here, He's literally right behind me,
- 7:34Speaker 2: one of my favorite bills. I was, I kind of
- 7:37Speaker 2: bought into it when sal Capacci was giving his updates
- 7:40Speaker 2: and he's like, Trey was like the best player on
- 7:41Speaker 2: here go on the field. Now it hasn't always been up,
- 7:44Speaker 2: you know. Sally even talked about it recently that it's
- 7:46Speaker 2: kind of been an up and down, most recently the
- 7:47Speaker 2: last week or two. But I mean I bought into it, like, man,
- 7:51Speaker 2: he's beaten out this young rookie with all these you know,
- 7:54Speaker 2: natural gifts, Like, okay, he could be the mentor. I'm
- 7:56Speaker 2: ready for it. Let the you know, let the rook
- 7:58Speaker 2: kind of ease into his his new job, not to
- 8:02Speaker 2: have him on the field the rookie down. I just
- 8:04Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I I am regardless of what
- 8:08Speaker 2: DT is saying, and I understand what he's saying. I
- 8:10Speaker 2: bought into it, man, I was. I was ready to
- 8:12Speaker 2: see him Week one against the Ravens and now I
- 8:15Speaker 2: am I'm getting a little bit nervous.
- 8:17Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 8:18Speaker 4: My problem with with takeaway Trey is I just love him.
- 8:23Speaker 4: It's hard not to get hyped about it. I mean,
- 8:25Speaker 4: I get it. He's he's lost a couple of steps.
- 8:27Speaker 4: He's never gonna be the same as he was before
- 8:29Speaker 4: his injuries. But knowing the system, knowing his heart and
- 8:33Speaker 4: having him as your you know, your backup cornerback too,
- 8:36Speaker 4: which is literally like fourth on the depth chart, right,
- 8:40Speaker 4: and now he moves up to second on the depth chart,
- 8:43Speaker 4: and now it's possibly vaporizes for a period of time.
- 8:46Speaker 1: Again complete guessing.
- 8:47Speaker 4: At this point, we don't know anything, but you do
- 8:49Speaker 4: get that kind of you know, oh, here we go
- 8:51Speaker 4: again with some kind of critical defensive injury thing in
- 8:54Speaker 4: your throat. And my problem isn't so much the loss
- 8:57Speaker 4: of Trey White. It's what's behind him. It's not deep, man,
- 9:03Speaker 4: it's it's thin. And Dame Jackson, Yeah, like JaMarcus Ingram
- 9:08Speaker 4: is probably the better athlete.
- 9:09Speaker 1: And you know, Sal had a great take on this,
- 9:11Speaker 1: you know, this morning on w g R and last night.
- 9:14Speaker 4: You know, it's like you almost have to play Dame
- 9:19Speaker 4: Jackson because he knows the system. He's an outside corner,
- 9:22Speaker 4: so mentally he gets it. But he's not as good
- 9:25Speaker 4: a players as uh you know Ingram is, and you
- 9:29Speaker 4: lose the flexibility you get with Ingram. So it's for me,
- 9:32Speaker 4: it's more about what do we have to plug in
- 9:35Speaker 4: in Hairston and White's absence than oh, we just lost
- 9:39Speaker 4: this all pro corner. But man, I absolutely sucked into
- 9:43Speaker 4: the hype take away Trey's back. Man I want to
- 9:46Speaker 4: see it for him, and man, if this is another
- 9:48Speaker 4: devastating injury, just how as a player, how much misfortunate.
- 9:54Speaker 2: Probably talk about the r work, you know. I mean,
- 9:58Speaker 2: if it's something says not again, we don't know and
- 10:00Speaker 2: we're not sure about it. But there's a chance dt
- 10:03Speaker 2: that if if if it is at all serious, you know,
- 10:07Speaker 2: I don't even know if you want to go through
- 10:09Speaker 2: another rehabit. And I know that that that's tough for
- 10:11Speaker 2: a lot of players to realize that to come to
- 10:13Speaker 2: grips with. But if it's serious, then you might be
- 10:16Speaker 2: thinking about moving away from the game altogether.
- 10:19Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean looking through them, we'll get it.
- 10:21Speaker 1: We'll do a little roster dig in later. You know,
- 10:23Speaker 1: we're gonna get into this, but yeah, it gets pretty
- 10:25Speaker 1: thin as we go through our defensive back room, and
- 10:28Speaker 1: you know, there's names on here that you know are
- 10:31Speaker 1: just not like, there's names filling out this roster that
- 10:35Speaker 1: you have never like we've heard of, but aren't really
- 10:38Speaker 1: probably aren't even gonna make the team. I mean, guys
- 10:40Speaker 1: like Takwan Hardy, the pick out of Penn State last year,
- 10:42Speaker 1: have not heard a peep all summer on him. The
- 10:45Speaker 1: you know, you have your your nickel guys obviously in
- 10:48Speaker 1: and then you know guys like Dorian Strong who are
- 10:51Speaker 1: deep in the draft, Brandon Coddrington who was playing because
- 10:56Speaker 1: you know, and we got other guys returning now not
- 10:58Speaker 1: even him. So it gets real thin as you go
- 11:01Speaker 1: as you get through these guys, and you're right, I mean,
- 11:05Speaker 1: but again this goes to the preparation of now Harrison's down, now,
- 11:09Speaker 1: Trey White's down, now, like we got to make a
- 11:12Speaker 1: move here.
- 11:12Speaker 2: I think it's it's just going to ask do you
- 11:14Speaker 2: think that we should do something? Do you think that
- 11:15Speaker 2: we should go out and get Rasoul Stefan Gilmore. Do
- 11:18Speaker 2: you think that that's that that's necessary now at this point? Yeah?
- 11:21Speaker 4: I think for sure, Yeah, if Trey's got a serious
- 11:26Speaker 4: uh you know, hitching his gidiot, then we have to
- 11:28Speaker 4: think about Dame Jackson's not a four or five six
- 11:31Speaker 4: week answer at c B two, just not it.
- 11:35Speaker 1: So we gotta hold trigger on something. JaMarcus Ingram played
- 11:38Speaker 1: well last year. DBU. Let's go you be you be DBU,
- 11:43Speaker 1: and you know, and him cam lewis out there, but
- 11:47Speaker 1: he played well. I don't know. Maybe he's more of
- 11:49Speaker 1: a game time guy. He's more you know, practice and reps.
- 11:52Speaker 1: He's just kind of he's fighting and then you put
- 11:54Speaker 1: him under the lights in the game and he just
- 11:56Speaker 1: plays game speed and you know, just keeps up out
- 11:58Speaker 1: of like anxiousness, if you will. But the last episode
- 12:02Speaker 1: of Hard Knocks, i'd like JaMarcus Ingram in the last episode,
- 12:04Speaker 1: maybe I was like, damn, like this dude is like
- 12:08Speaker 1: really just kind of holding on every play. It seems
- 12:11Speaker 1: like he's like, all right, this is the play.
- 12:13Speaker 2: Now. He's it's positive, it's positive energy. He's trying to
- 12:17Speaker 2: and that's good.
- 12:18Speaker 1: But it also I don't know, like that's that's not
- 12:20Speaker 1: a you know, that's not a guy that's gonna guard
- 12:22Speaker 1: t Higgins, you know, straight up every every you know,
- 12:25Speaker 1: every play that's not your cornerback too, right, Like that's
- 12:28Speaker 1: a guy, that's a filling guy. So I think you
- 12:30Speaker 1: definitely need to, you know, we need to get on
- 12:32Speaker 1: the market here and gets a name and just to
- 12:35Speaker 1: you know, fill a void at least till we get
- 12:37Speaker 1: it figured out on the back end.
- 12:38Speaker 2: Yeah, I I tend to agree. I mean, I guess
- 12:41Speaker 2: we'll know more after the preseason game tomorrow, when Seawan
- 12:43Speaker 2: actually gets a chance to address the media. I'm sure
- 12:45Speaker 2: he's gonna be asked about Trey by the media members
- 12:48Speaker 2: down there in Tampa, and we'll see what answer he gives.
- 12:50Speaker 2: So we'll kind of just hold our breath until then.
- 12:52Speaker 2: Bill's play tomorrow. I think it's seven point thirty down
- 12:55Speaker 2: in Tampa, last preseason game. Starters are not expected to play.
- 12:58Speaker 2: Josh Allen has already been noted by McDermott that he
- 13:01Speaker 2: will not play. Thank God for that. So listen, this
- 13:04Speaker 2: is the last game for a lot of guys. And
- 13:06Speaker 2: what you talked about DT as we begin to transition
- 13:09Speaker 2: to our roster projection is that you know, these are
- 13:11Speaker 2: these are dreams that are being realized. Tomorrow was a
- 13:14Speaker 2: night for you know, third stringers, four stringers to kind
- 13:17Speaker 2: of make their move, to make their impression. And it's
- 13:20Speaker 2: interesting because I actually like these games because you do
- 13:23Speaker 2: see the intensity because they're fighting for jobs, they're fighting
- 13:26Speaker 2: for their dreams, and I'm always interested to see there's
- 13:29Speaker 2: always a surprise guy that you didn't expect. Buffalo Joe
- 13:31Speaker 2: last year, and it's like that every year where there's
- 13:33Speaker 2: a guy that just comes through and realizes his dreams.
- 13:37Speaker 2: I'm interested to see. I don't know if they're gonna
- 13:40Speaker 2: throw Curtis Samuel out there. They've been talking about it
- 13:43Speaker 2: a lot this week and kind of the you know,
- 13:45Speaker 2: the fighter that he needs some more reps. McDermott did
- 13:47Speaker 2: say that Cole Bishop is gonna play. I think that
- 13:49Speaker 2: that's good because he does need more reps obviously being
- 13:52Speaker 2: out with those injuries, Scott. Anything that you're looking at
- 13:56Speaker 2: tomorrow other than obviously everybody getting out of their healthy
- 13:59Speaker 2: because it could be intense in respects to those guys
- 14:02Speaker 2: fighting for jobs. But there's a couple of guys in there,
- 14:05Speaker 2: Curtis Samuel, maybe I don't know Bishop, he's caught a
- 14:09Speaker 2: lot of shit this week. Yeah, it'll be interesting to
- 14:11Speaker 2: see how long they're on the field, because I do
- 14:13Speaker 2: think that it might be almost necessary for some of
- 14:16Speaker 2: those guys to just get some reps. I think.
- 14:18Speaker 4: So I'm looking at Cole Bishop and cam Lewis safety
- 14:21Speaker 4: is a little just kind of like you know, I'm
- 14:24Speaker 4: not let's not use the C word like concern. It's
- 14:29Speaker 4: not all pro man And I really want to have
- 14:32Speaker 4: faith that Bishop is just a bunch of reps away
- 14:35Speaker 4: from where he needs to be because of his time
- 14:37Speaker 4: out with injuries. But I want to see cam Lewis play,
- 14:39Speaker 4: and I want to see Buffalo Joe have a.
- 14:41Speaker 1: Little better outing.
- 14:42Speaker 4: He just seemed on his heels for the first few
- 14:45Speaker 4: drives against Chicago, just did not have his best day
- 14:48Speaker 4: at all. And that happens. I mean, it happens. He's
- 14:50Speaker 4: the young player, and then you know the wide receivers.
- 14:53Speaker 4: I want to see Elijah Moore, man, I want to
- 14:55Speaker 4: see this guy do something. And Curtis Samuel like that
- 15:00Speaker 4: situation just gripes me. That's not a Curtis Samuel like
- 15:04Speaker 4: fault and it's not a beam footed is what it is.
- 15:07Speaker 4: But we got a couple of nickels tied up in
- 15:08Speaker 4: this dude, And you've seen little flashes, and he has
- 15:11Speaker 4: a history of being pretty productive and a good receiver.
- 15:14Speaker 1: Man.
- 15:14Speaker 4: Would I like to see that in a Bill's uniform,
- 15:16Speaker 4: just like could we please? Yeah, So those are probably
- 15:20Speaker 4: the biggest things I'm looking at. You know, the O
- 15:21Speaker 4: line is going to be you know, obviously the two's
- 15:24Speaker 4: and the threes, to see who's going to be the
- 15:26Speaker 4: the principal backups to the big guys up front, same
- 15:30Speaker 4: up front of the defense, you know, and so you know,
- 15:34Speaker 4: besides Bishop and the two wide receivers and cam Lewis
- 15:37Speaker 4: and Joe that the corner mystery is the only other
- 15:41Speaker 4: thing I've got. It's like, okay, if it is going
- 15:43Speaker 4: to be Dane, if there is a situation, get him
- 15:45Speaker 4: in there and hope he holds it down, okay, DT.
- 15:50Speaker 2: You know, it's it's interesting because when we go to
- 15:52Speaker 2: our roster projection, you know, I see the defensive line
- 15:57Speaker 2: is something that they have poured a lot of resources into.
- 16:00Speaker 2: I'm actually now looking for the baby, you know what
- 16:03Speaker 2: I mean. Now I'm looking for the results. And it's interesting,
- 16:06Speaker 2: you know it kind of I'm a stickler or McDermott
- 16:08Speaker 2: and things like that. But the Venus provided him with
- 16:11Speaker 2: a lot of different weapons this year, and I'll be
- 16:14Speaker 2: interested to see how it all works out. And obviously
- 16:16Speaker 2: we won't get to see too much tomorrow night, but
- 16:18Speaker 2: DT I'm looking for I'm looking for them to make
- 16:21Speaker 2: an impact. There's not really too many places for them
- 16:24Speaker 2: to hide, to be honest, and I know we we'll
- 16:25Speaker 2: talk about that later next week, but I'm ready to
- 16:29Speaker 2: see the baby.
- 16:30Speaker 1: We need somebody to make a play. We need somebody
- 16:32Speaker 1: who make a play, Rob Scott. It's it's no plays
- 16:35Speaker 1: all preseason, no plays, no plays. We need somebody to
- 16:39Speaker 1: make a play. This is what the preseason about. This
- 16:41Speaker 1: is how you're going to earn your reps. This how
- 16:43Speaker 1: you're going to earn your time. So much invested in
- 16:46Speaker 1: this defensive line, all these big mfforts, these big dogs,
- 16:49Speaker 1: and I talked about it last week like we haven't
- 16:51Speaker 1: heard shit, and we still and last week didn't do
- 16:54Speaker 1: it anymore justice. Nobody made a play, nobody got up
- 16:57Speaker 1: in anybody, And so this week I think it crucial
- 17:00Speaker 1: for that And I have a little hot take here.
- 17:03Speaker 1: I'll bring it on nicol City crew it and you know,
- 17:06Speaker 1: we'll we'll see if I'm right or not. But I
- 17:08Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think we were planning on signing
- 17:12Speaker 1: Gave Davis. I don't think we're playing on signing Gave Davis.
- 17:14Speaker 1: I think we brought him in to four guys like
- 17:17Speaker 1: Elijah Moore and Curtis Samuel, like all right, we'll just
- 17:21Speaker 1: go get Gave Davis and then your ass is cut,
- 17:23Speaker 1: like there's only there's literally the only room for one
- 17:27Speaker 1: one of them, right, I mean, you've got Keyon's gonna
- 17:29Speaker 1: make the roster. You got Ki gonna make the roster,
- 17:31Speaker 1: Josh Palmer's gonna make the roster, Elizah Moore, Curtis Samuel,
- 17:36Speaker 1: you bring Gave Davis in. It's one of those guys
- 17:38Speaker 1: is getting clipped. So I think it's a philosophy thing
- 17:41Speaker 1: of we haven't been making plays this preseason, somebody has
- 17:44Speaker 1: to and get it makes sense that he visited. I'm
- 17:49Speaker 1: not saying it was all fabricated and we never thought
- 17:51Speaker 1: about signing him, but I think there was some other
- 17:53Speaker 1: intent with that as well, like we can bring somebody
- 17:55Speaker 1: in and your ass is legit cut. Curtis Samuel gets
- 17:58Speaker 1: a little tricky with the money.
- 18:00Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, But.
- 18:02Speaker 1: At the same time, they're not just going to keep
- 18:03Speaker 1: somebody on the roster that's gonna hurt us. You know,
- 18:05Speaker 1: we're trying to win a Super Bowl, so I think
- 18:07Speaker 1: it's a time where those guys got to make plays.
- 18:10Speaker 1: But more importantly, this defensive line. I want to see
- 18:12Speaker 1: one of these rookies have a sack, have a pass breakup,
- 18:14Speaker 1: get some sort of energy from this defensive line that's
- 18:17Speaker 1: full of giants. You know, I want to see. I
- 18:19Speaker 1: want to see some plays for there. So sure, on
- 18:22Speaker 1: the receiver side, one of them is getting cut. So
- 18:24Speaker 1: on the other side, let's let's have some some big
- 18:26Speaker 1: plays on the defensive line.
- 18:28Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't seen Landon Jackson's name. We even talked
- 18:31Speaker 2: about at.
- 18:31Speaker 1: All, like four hundred pounds.
- 18:36Speaker 2: Like, yeah, I made one game. But yeah, but that
- 18:39Speaker 2: J Sanders.
- 18:40Speaker 1: I've heard a little more about t J. Sanders and
- 18:41Speaker 1: the rest, but very quiet. You know, it just seems
- 18:43Speaker 1: like it's shock. It seems like it's shock right now.
- 18:45Speaker 1: It's gonna be at Albert Dakwan Jones and you know,
- 18:48Speaker 1: and then these guys are going to rotate in behind it.
- 18:50Speaker 1: But nobody's as I've seen, has made a play in
- 18:53Speaker 1: social media or on the preseason field.
- 18:55Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be interesting now. Tonight's episode is presented by
- 18:58Speaker 2: Takes the Buffalo Pizzaia down here in Huntersville, North Carolina.
- 19:02Speaker 2: We appreciate Jenna Tagli and her family running a great
- 19:05Speaker 2: pizzaia shop over there. Listen, if you're down here in
- 19:06Speaker 2: the Charlottle area like I am, and you missed the
- 19:09Speaker 2: Buffalo food where DT is, I promise you you're head on
- 19:12Speaker 2: over there. Jen and her crew will take care of you,
- 19:15Speaker 2: for sure. I'm head on over to Taste of Buffalo
- 19:17Speaker 2: Pizzaria dot com. Check them out there and Huntersville again,
- 19:20Speaker 2: I promise you. Bill's Mafia promise you. Nichols Dakuru would
- 19:23Speaker 2: not steer you wrong. They always make me feel at
- 19:26Speaker 2: home and they definitely remind me of the great food
- 19:29Speaker 2: that the DT gets a chance to enjoy as we transition, fellas. Okay,
- 19:34Speaker 2: let's let's break it. Break out our depth charts. We
- 19:36Speaker 2: need fifty three men on this team. Injuries be damned.
- 19:41Speaker 2: We've got the Bash brothers Ogajobi and Uh and Hoyt
- 19:45Speaker 2: that will be suspended so they don't count against the rosters,
- 19:47Speaker 2: so you guys don't have to count them in. I
- 19:50Speaker 2: guess we'll just start off dteam and Scott we'll just
- 19:53Speaker 2: we'll go down the line. I mean we'll carry two
- 19:55Speaker 2: quarterbacks as always, right, I mean I would assume we'll
- 19:58Speaker 2: we're not really getting fancy or anything like that with
- 20:00Speaker 2: three quarterbacks. It'll be Josh and and Mitch, right, I think, so, Yeah, DT,
- 20:06Speaker 2: you concur.
- 20:08Speaker 1: You keeping tally? You need me to keep tally here?
- 20:10Speaker 2: Yeah, keep tally for me. I'm trying to.
- 20:12Speaker 4: Feel like Mike White's gonna roll out to the practice squad. Yeah,
- 20:17Speaker 4: He's you know, he's been around a bit. He can
- 20:18Speaker 4: he can emulate some other offenses because he's been in
- 20:21Speaker 4: some So I think that's good experience.
- 20:24Speaker 1: And I think Mitch is probably the better backup Josh.
- 20:28Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's his boy go whatever, and there you know,
- 20:31Speaker 2: their buddies, Like it seems like Josh. It seems like
- 20:34Speaker 2: Josh gets what he once when it comes to that.
- 20:36Speaker 4: And Mike White could be further away from Matt Malona
- 20:38Speaker 4: on the practice squad, So that's always a puss for
- 20:40Speaker 4: mister White. I still never forget that folded in a
- 20:42Speaker 4: half heard is that?
- 20:44Speaker 2: Yeah? Almost folded him like a lawn chair for sure.
- 20:47Speaker 2: Now running back, you got James Cook brought back on
- 20:49Speaker 2: his deal. I see three. I think Frank Gore once
- 20:53Speaker 2: again second year. He's gonna be on the practice squad.
- 20:55Speaker 2: I'm obviously he's capable and dropped that ball last week fumble.
- 20:58Speaker 2: I know that he's a little but upset her. He
- 21:04Speaker 2: runs his dad, looks just like him and runs like
- 21:06Speaker 2: him to north and south. So I've got three running
- 21:09Speaker 2: backs with Ray Davis and Ty Johnson as our third
- 21:11Speaker 2: down back receivers my favorite position. We already talked about
- 21:15Speaker 2: the lot. I think we gotta go six here, boys, really, I.
- 21:19Speaker 1: Think we gotta go six. There's just too many. You got,
- 21:23Speaker 1: you got, you got Kean, you got Khalil, you got
- 21:27Speaker 1: Josh Palmer, Curtis Samuel, let's see him tomorrow. Man, it's
- 21:34Speaker 1: so hard to call because he's I mean the money.
- 21:37Speaker 1: You almost have to get him in. We'll get Curtis in,
- 21:41Speaker 1: you have to, can't. And then I want to see
- 21:47Speaker 1: Elia Elizah Moore's five. Shavers is six, So that leaves
- 21:52Speaker 1: like Christian Wilkerson got now Handler. You know you can
- 21:55Speaker 1: see Chalt Handler on the roster on the kick return side.
- 22:02Speaker 1: I think six is I think six is pushing it
- 22:05Speaker 1: if if if, if it's six, Shavers is out, and
- 22:08Speaker 1: then they put Chanel or somebody in as the return work,
- 22:11Speaker 1: then Shavers out. I really want I think it's six,
- 22:16Speaker 1: no matter what.
- 22:17Speaker 2: I want Shavers to be given a bone, like if
- 22:19Speaker 2: he's been here for three years, he's earned it. I mean,
- 22:22Speaker 2: he makes plays. I want to. I want to throw
- 22:24Speaker 2: him a bone. So put let Coddrington figure out the
- 22:28Speaker 2: return game. DT. Let's put him on our Nicolson fifty.
- 22:32Speaker 1: Six receivers. Shavers in noight end.
- 22:38Speaker 2: We've got Dalton Dawson, and then I gave Jackson Hayes
- 22:42Speaker 2: has to because you drafted him.
- 22:46Speaker 1: I da have heard good things this summer. If anything,
- 22:48Speaker 1: he's we have had some spark from this guy, blocking
- 22:51Speaker 1: and catching from him.
- 22:52Speaker 4: So and the catching is all bonus with him because
- 22:54Speaker 4: they signed.
- 22:55Speaker 1: Him to block.
- 22:56Speaker 4: But I feel like he's a project like Landon Jackson.
- 22:58Speaker 4: You know he's got some raw material we want to see.
- 23:01Speaker 4: We can turn him into all right, three tight ends.
- 23:05Speaker 2: Regie Gilli, I'm gonna play full back again.
- 23:07Speaker 1: Yes, sir.
- 23:09Speaker 2: Our offensive line is set left to right. His d
- 23:12Speaker 2: On David Edwards, McGovern uh Ciebo and then Spencer Brown
- 23:18Speaker 2: and they carry ten.
- 23:19Speaker 4: What a story, man, Let's just say that for a second.
- 23:23Speaker 1: Two years ago. We're ready to like this guy on fire.
- 23:26Speaker 4: Kick to the curve.
- 23:26Speaker 1: Man.
- 23:28Speaker 4: Now he's the biggest badass in Buffalo Steamroller man, Yeah
- 23:32Speaker 4: he is.
- 23:32Speaker 2: Okay, they're going to keep ten or no? Do they
- 23:35Speaker 2: keep ten or nine?
- 23:36Speaker 1: I say, I say nine because we got heavy on
- 23:40Speaker 1: the other side of the ball, So let's say nine.
- 23:42Speaker 2: That's Alexanders I mean.
- 23:47Speaker 1: Van, I don't know what. Three consecutive false stares, all right, right,
- 23:53Speaker 1: yeah that was a little bit. That's not how you
- 23:57Speaker 1: were a spot on the team, dude.
- 23:59Speaker 2: Yeah, but they they need a backup left tackle, so
- 24:01Speaker 2: he's gonna be on the teams. So I'll give I'll
- 24:03Speaker 2: give Vandmark uh Anderson h.
- 24:08Speaker 1: Gable what is billion.
- 24:12Speaker 2: Or British or something like that, something, all right, he's something, Yeah,
- 24:18Speaker 2: all right, problem, we'll flip to the defense. You've got
- 24:22Speaker 2: your foot, Yeah, we'll flip to the Yeah, we'll flip
- 24:25Speaker 2: to the to the defense. We've got your front four
- 24:27Speaker 2: of Russo at Oliver Day they uh and then Joey
- 24:30Speaker 2: Bosa with backups of I don't know a j Dwayne
- 24:36Speaker 2: Carter because you drafted of TJ.
- 24:40Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's ahead of Larry.
- 24:42Speaker 2: Good jobie for now, I suppose we don't have to
- 24:44Speaker 2: count those guys right now.
- 24:45Speaker 1: He's not he's not on the list Sanders.
- 24:49Speaker 4: They still want to see him grab that top spot
- 24:51Speaker 4: away from Deakwon Jones.
- 24:52Speaker 2: Man, it'll take some time. I think it'll take some time.
- 24:56Speaker 2: Landon Jackson's making the team. Ya the investment, Okay.
- 24:59Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I feel like he's a thing. We
- 25:04Speaker 4: don't expect him to blossom for two years.
- 25:07Speaker 2: Maybe he doesn't, but yeah, all right, well then that
- 25:10Speaker 2: means that you've got you've got eight. They're carrying ten, right,
- 25:13Speaker 2: because Dion Walker is gonna make the team, and so
- 25:15Speaker 2: is Javon Sithmon.
- 25:16Speaker 1: Right, and you put in there, Yeah.
- 25:19Speaker 2: I did, so I've got I've got I've got ten.
- 25:23Speaker 2: Deon Walker, Dean Walker makes the team. John Salmon makes
- 25:26Speaker 2: the team. That's third stringers. Yeah, all right, linebackers. We've
- 25:31Speaker 2: got uh Milano, Bernard, Dorian Williams, Williams, Buffalo Joe.
- 25:40Speaker 1: Or Shaq Thompson one or the other.
- 25:44Speaker 4: That's tough, right there.
- 25:45Speaker 2: Wait, Shack Thompson over Buffalo Joe.
- 25:49Speaker 4: I like Buffalo Joe better. I know you had a
- 25:51Speaker 4: rough outing in Chicago. I like, he sticks his head
- 25:53Speaker 4: in there, kind of a missile. His run game is great. Yeah,
- 25:57Speaker 4: he plays special teams, so that's it could be with
- 26:01Speaker 4: the multi use.
- 26:02Speaker 2: I think it would be between Shack Lawson and and.
- 26:04Speaker 1: Not Shacks what's his name Shack Thompson.
- 26:07Speaker 2: Jack Thompson, and those would be the last guys they're
- 26:09Speaker 2: fighting for a spot, So that.
- 26:11Speaker 5: Would give you what that drops can't take a linebacker, Bernard.
- 26:17Speaker 5: That seven linebackers Milano.
- 26:22Speaker 6: Dorian, Buffalo, Joe Buffalo Joe is four, Shack and six,
- 26:31Speaker 6: so they carry five, right, they carry five?
- 26:33Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so one of those.
- 26:34Speaker 4: Going to be between Shak and check and.
- 26:38Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, no problem cornerbacks as of now, you
- 26:43Speaker 2: don't have to We don't have to count Max right
- 26:45Speaker 2: now because let's say you start about an I R.
- 26:47Speaker 2: He can be out the first four weeks.
- 26:48Speaker 4: So we've got that's that might be the case with him.
- 26:52Speaker 6: Yeah, you've got got Christian Trey Sits right now.
- 26:57Speaker 1: I'm hopeful of Trey what Tar Taron.
- 26:59Speaker 7: John Yeah, Marcus Ingram mm hmm, cam Lewis, cam Lewis,
- 27:08Speaker 7: Cam's list Hancock.
- 27:11Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess, Yeah, I.
- 27:13Speaker 4: Gotta go with Hancock and Ingram over at Man. Codrington
- 27:16Speaker 4: looked lost.
- 27:18Speaker 2: Well he's not a he's not really, I mean depends.
- 27:24Speaker 2: He's a kick returner, so that'll be interesting. So how
- 27:26Speaker 2: many you got there now, then, DT, that's that is corners.
- 27:31Speaker 1: We're taking Harrison Outce you got Benford White, Taron Johnson,
- 27:37Speaker 1: JaMarcus Ingram, Cam Cam Lewis.
- 27:43Speaker 2: How many is that? That's five?
- 27:44Speaker 4: Jane Jackson, Cam's is safety. You're right, Let's replace Kam
- 27:48Speaker 4: jack Jackson and then Dorian Strong six round pick this year?
- 27:52Speaker 1: Yeah, Ohio State? Or is he Virginia Tech.
- 27:55Speaker 2: He's Virginia Tech.
- 27:56Speaker 1: Virginia Tech to Cancock's Ohio State? Yeah up, all right,
- 28:02Speaker 1: all right, yeah, then somebody got to get forty.
- 28:09Speaker 2: They can't carry six corners right now.
- 28:12Speaker 1: Five, it's five.
- 28:13Speaker 2: It's got to be with Max's injury. When Max comes back,
- 28:17Speaker 2: you'll just drop off the to the bottom guy and
- 28:18Speaker 2: let Max come back.
- 28:20Speaker 4: Jackson, So that leaves off Ingram Strong. Ingram's making the roster,
- 28:24Speaker 4: he sure is, he's made. Kind of takes six corners,
- 28:27Speaker 4: do they?
- 28:28Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 28:29Speaker 1: I think right now they have to.
- 28:30Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, because of the injury.
- 28:32Speaker 4: You mean because of Max, because you got to have
- 28:34Speaker 4: two at each spot to Nicols two outsides, two outsides.
- 28:38Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, all right, all right, same safety you got,
- 28:42Speaker 2: favorite position is wrapping Bishop yep Lewis and Hamlets and Hamlin.
- 28:47Speaker 1: Yeah, and then that's pretty clean.
- 28:49Speaker 2: Yeah. I think you can get rid of Forrest. Havn't
- 28:51Speaker 2: heard a sniff of anything about him, and all the
- 28:54Speaker 2: other guys are are are undrafted free agentsy I mean,
- 28:58Speaker 2: is that then do we have enough our special our
- 29:00Speaker 2: special steamers. That's fifty one, okay, so you need a
- 29:03Speaker 2: kicker punter and then the whole ferguson wet. We gotta gotta,
- 29:11Speaker 2: we gotta cut. When our first Nichols City crew cut,
- 29:14Speaker 2: I'm going to the corner back, I'm going to the
- 29:16Speaker 2: cornerback room. I would, I would, I'd shave off from
- 29:18Speaker 2: the cornerback room or a linebacker, or shave.
- 29:22Speaker 1: A linebacker first. Yeah, I would. I would go with
- 29:25Speaker 1: five backers. Yeah, yeah, you're probably just keeping chalk in
- 29:30Speaker 1: Buffalo Buffalo Dorian Milano, Bernard it was the fifth.
- 29:39Speaker 4: And then you gotta choose shacker Eddie coin fl. I
- 29:42Speaker 4: just don't know that much about him.
- 29:45Speaker 2: M So that might that might matter be the thing
- 29:49Speaker 2: that might lean it that way, because I know Eddie
- 29:51Speaker 2: was a draft pick, but that might lean it's a.
- 29:53Speaker 1: Shack captain, national champ, not national champ.
- 29:57Speaker 2: But that's fifty three fifty three the Nichols City crew
- 30:01Speaker 2: fifty three. All right.
- 30:03Speaker 1: I like that I and that leaves that's actually I
- 30:07Speaker 1: was surprised by that that we're not. That's not that's
- 30:10Speaker 1: pretty chalk right there. There's not many like questions. It's tyrol.
- 30:15Speaker 1: That's the biggest question on this whole Thing's Tyrrel Shavers,
- 30:19Speaker 1: Shavers versus what right.
- 30:22Speaker 2: I think that Shavers has done enough to get a shot,
- 30:26Speaker 2: like I think he Now he may not get a
- 30:28Speaker 2: jersey every Sunday because they go down to forty six
- 30:30Speaker 2: on game day, but I think he deserves game game checks.
- 30:33Speaker 2: I think that he deserves a roster spot this year
- 30:36Speaker 2: and not just practice squad.
- 30:38Speaker 1: Highlighting the camp.
- 30:39Speaker 4: He's played well in the preseason games and you gotta remember, man,
- 30:41Speaker 4: he's catching passes from the two.
- 30:44Speaker 2: Yeah, and what are you saying about, you know, meritocracy?
- 30:47Speaker 2: If you if you don't give him a spot because
- 30:48Speaker 2: of the fact that that's what McDermott preachers. We'll talk
- 30:51Speaker 2: about you know, Nick, we'll talk about the hard knocks
- 30:54Speaker 2: to wrap up the show. But I mean that's what
- 30:55Speaker 2: Dermot talks about. You heard of DT last week. He's
- 30:58Speaker 2: you know, we talking about the Jimmy charl little kid,
- 31:00Speaker 2: Like how you know, you come in, you make plays,
- 31:02Speaker 2: you earn your reps. I think that I know, but
- 31:07Speaker 2: you know what I mean, like he was earning reps
- 31:10Speaker 2: and I think that that's kind of well.
- 31:11Speaker 4: We could trim a little bit in the kicking hole
- 31:14Speaker 4: here and we just we'll just let Ray Davis take
- 31:16Speaker 4: the duties.
- 31:17Speaker 1: Sorry, you know, I'm a little nervous about that.
- 31:21Speaker 2: I want to Yeah, it's fine.
- 31:26Speaker 1: We better be just yeah, just kick even on third down.
- 31:29Speaker 1: Just take some kicks.
- 31:31Speaker 4: First down.
- 31:34Speaker 2: Listen now as we begetting the transition and start to
- 31:36Speaker 2: wrap up tonight.
- 31:37Speaker 1: Uh.
- 31:38Speaker 2: It's funny because I know that you said you weren't
- 31:40Speaker 2: able to get in on it, Scott, But man, hard
- 31:42Speaker 2: Knocks has been interesting. I'll say it that way, and
- 31:45Speaker 2: I'm being kind because obviously it's the Bills were a
- 31:47Speaker 2: little bit closer to him. But those first two weeks
- 31:49Speaker 2: d T were brutal for me. Personally because I liked
- 31:52Speaker 2: the behind the scenes stuff. It was a slurp best
- 31:55Speaker 2: those first couple of weeks, not much intrigue, not much
- 31:58Speaker 2: behind the scenes at all. Last week, I have to
- 32:00Speaker 2: say that was the best episode that they've done so far.
- 32:03Speaker 2: I personally love the nuts and Bolts. I liked seeing
- 32:07Speaker 2: how they make their cake, and we got a chance
- 32:10Speaker 2: to see that, you know, Joe Brady in his room
- 32:12Speaker 2: with his coaches, and then the same thing with Bobby
- 32:15Speaker 2: Babbage in his positional room with his coaches. It was
- 32:18Speaker 2: interesting to see. I really liked it. You talked about Jabarco,
- 32:21Speaker 2: SINGERBB and stuff like that, But what did you take
- 32:23Speaker 2: away from Hard Knocks? Because I really enjoyed the behind
- 32:26Speaker 2: the scenes and how they talk football, how they talk
- 32:29Speaker 2: to each other. That was one of the most appealing
- 32:31Speaker 2: things about Hard Knocks back in the day when I
- 32:34Speaker 2: was growing up watching it wasn't seeing the guys get cut. Yes,
- 32:37Speaker 2: that's like a train wreck and sometimes you can't look away.
- 32:39Speaker 2: But I understand why they took a lot of that
- 32:41Speaker 2: type of stuff out of their production. This is what
- 32:44Speaker 2: it's about. The nuts and bolts. How do they talk football,
- 32:46Speaker 2: how do they think of their team and stuff like that.
- 32:49Speaker 2: I really enjoyed listening to Brady and Babbage last week.
- 32:51Speaker 1: I really, Yeah, we get on Sean a lot on
- 32:54Speaker 1: this show, and you know, rightfully so. But I think
- 32:57Speaker 1: his message how they started, they start of the episode
- 33:00Speaker 1: with his team address, right, and his message was basically
- 33:04Speaker 1: what we were kind of in line with, like, you
- 33:08Speaker 1: don't this is the NFL, Like you don't. You're not
- 33:11Speaker 1: guaranteed to be good every year. I mean we kind
- 33:14Speaker 1: of are because we have a cheat code and we
- 33:16Speaker 1: have seventeen, but you are not guaranteed to be good
- 33:19Speaker 1: every year.
- 33:20Speaker 2: That's right, And and that was his point, and he.
- 33:22Speaker 1: Said some guys I'm used to feeling, I'm not feeling,
- 33:25Speaker 1: oh yeah, and that it was that hit me because
- 33:28Speaker 1: that's kind of where I'm at now, Like, yes, preseason pledge,
- 33:31Speaker 1: I'm not freaking out, but like my whole thing leading
- 33:34Speaker 1: up to this camp was like, good, there's a ton
- 33:36Speaker 1: of open spots, there's a ton of guys, there's gonna
- 33:38Speaker 1: be a ton of competition. We're gonna see roll the
- 33:41Speaker 1: ball out, see who the dogs are, and let's get
- 33:43Speaker 1: after it. And it's we haven't really heard that or
- 33:46Speaker 1: felt that and I so I was pleased that Sean
- 33:50Speaker 1: is also on the same mindset as me, at least
- 33:52Speaker 1: in that of like, I'm I'm not feeling people I'm
- 33:55Speaker 1: used to feeling. So you know, let's let's we don't
- 33:58Speaker 1: have that much time. We're literally a couple of weeks
- 34:01Speaker 1: away and a holiday in between, of kicking off against
- 34:04Speaker 1: one of the best teams in the NFL on Sunday
- 34:06Speaker 1: night with one seed implications like this ain't no ease
- 34:09Speaker 1: in schedule. This is eight thirty Sunday night. We better
- 34:12Speaker 1: be ready to fucking ball.
- 34:13Speaker 2: Yeah, and this team.
- 34:16Speaker 1: So I like the messaging from that because that's how
- 34:18Speaker 1: I was kind of feeling, And I hope that's kind
- 34:20Speaker 1: of the mindset in like, hey, we might be under
- 34:22Speaker 1: a little expectation right now, we might be on we
- 34:25Speaker 1: might not be as aggressive as I want to be,
- 34:27Speaker 1: but we still got some time to figure it out.
- 34:29Speaker 1: We do have the cheat code at quarterbacks, so it
- 34:31Speaker 1: will hopefully falter out. So I like that part of it.
- 34:34Speaker 1: I also liked what you said the insight of you know,
- 34:37Speaker 1: the Joe Brady's and the Bobby Babbage's of the world,
- 34:39Speaker 1: of like you know they when they were talking about
- 34:42Speaker 1: coaching through the clip. I need you to coach through
- 34:45Speaker 1: the clip, like, not just the play and the speed
- 34:47Speaker 1: and assignment. I need to see who's going over and
- 34:50Speaker 1: helping their teammate up. I need to see who's excited
- 34:53Speaker 1: after a big play. And that's literally the difference the
- 34:56Speaker 1: game of inches and the difference in the culture building.
- 34:59Speaker 2: And the energy, the energy.
- 35:00Speaker 1: Exactly and why we're a different team. Fly Free agents
- 35:04Speaker 1: continue to come here and say it's different. Yes there's
- 35:07Speaker 1: Josh Allen, but it's different in Buffalo. It's a culture.
- 35:09Speaker 4: It's I'm with GT on that. And then I'm going
- 35:13Speaker 4: to ask, as he kind of fuzzes out right, that
- 35:15Speaker 4: there's been too many odd, random Sundays, you know, in
- 35:19Speaker 4: the regular season where they come out and you're like,
- 35:21Speaker 4: do these guys really want to be out here? Kind
- 35:23Speaker 4: of looked a little bit like that in the Chicago
- 35:25Speaker 4: preseason game. I don't care wins and losses in the preseason,
- 35:28Speaker 4: but I didn't care for some of the cluelessness out
- 35:31Speaker 4: of position.
- 35:32Speaker 2: I'm lost, no energy, And that's what I was going
- 35:35Speaker 2: to ask you, Scott, because how do you how do
- 35:37Speaker 2: you balance as a fan the preseason pledge that DT
- 35:41Speaker 2: talking anyone. We always hear about him, j g R
- 35:43Speaker 2: and Jeremy White, you know, always admonishes all of us
- 35:45Speaker 2: to make sure that we we take that approach. How
- 35:48Speaker 2: do you how do you actually how do you go
- 35:52Speaker 2: about it? You know, like, how do you as a
- 35:53Speaker 2: fan go about it? Because to me, it's it's important.
- 35:58Speaker 2: But everything, everything can't be important in the preseason, but
- 36:02Speaker 2: some stuff does matter, like you know what I mean,
- 36:04Speaker 2: Like there's got to be a balance, and I want
- 36:05Speaker 2: to see guys.
- 36:06Speaker 4: Making some plays, like playing sound football. I know the
- 36:10Speaker 4: twos are out there. Like I wasn't bothered that Caleb
- 36:12Speaker 4: Williams shredded us up a little bit. Good for him.
- 36:15Speaker 4: I was happy to see him have a good showing.
- 36:18Speaker 4: I hope he has a good season. Didn't bother me
- 36:20Speaker 4: so much other than like Cole Bishop seemed kind of
- 36:24Speaker 4: lost and Buffalo Joe really did not play well. Those
- 36:27Speaker 4: are the things that bother me, not so much.
- 36:29Speaker 1: Score.
- 36:30Speaker 4: And I want to see guys like wanting to be
- 36:32Speaker 4: out there, hitting people, fired up, picking each other up,
- 36:35Speaker 4: you know, running if somebody looks like they're hurt, getting
- 36:37Speaker 4: over there, hey, okay, you know, coaching guys up like
- 36:39Speaker 4: you said, coaching through the clip, that's what I want
- 36:42Speaker 4: to see out of these guys because there's been too
- 36:44Speaker 4: many regular season games, just random weeks, they come out
- 36:48Speaker 4: just flat. The Pittsburgh home opener was that two years ago.
- 36:51Speaker 4: He came out and just got drove garbage.
- 36:54Speaker 1: I was like, people too early.
- 36:59Speaker 4: Yeah, I just to me, it's an energy thing, it's
- 37:03Speaker 4: a readiness thing, and that's my big gripe with that.
- 37:05Speaker 4: I feel like that's what you established in the preseason,
- 37:08Speaker 4: aside from determining like Okay, who's going to be you know,
- 37:11Speaker 4: the next man up, who's going to be my roster?
- 37:13Speaker 4: And that's what bothered me the most about Chicago. You know,
- 37:15Speaker 4: it's hard to sit and watch your favorite team look
- 37:18Speaker 4: off and get shell act. But I know what that is,
- 37:20Speaker 4: and I don't care. I just want to see guys,
- 37:23Speaker 4: you know, fighting hard and making plays, and that element
- 37:26Speaker 4: seemed to be missing. Even when it was r two's
- 37:28Speaker 4: and their two's and our threes in their threes, we
- 37:30Speaker 4: seemed like we were.
- 37:32Speaker 1: A step behind most of the night. Yeah, it looked
- 37:35Speaker 1: like we were against their ones all night. That bugged me.
- 37:39Speaker 4: Yeah, My thing is what what's to lose?
- 37:41Speaker 1: At this point right, Like it'd be different if it
- 37:44Speaker 1: was like all preseason everyone's making plays and it's like,
- 37:46Speaker 1: oh I can't. I got to stay on assignment or
- 37:48Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm getting outlasted and cut and I'm
- 37:51Speaker 1: putting bad film out there. But at this point, there's
- 37:54Speaker 1: not a lot of good film from this preseason. So
- 37:56Speaker 1: what do you have to lose? Like going into tomorrow night,
- 37:59Speaker 1: like you take a risk even if you missed the play,
- 38:02Speaker 1: like you weren't making a play the week before. So
- 38:05Speaker 1: I say it's like all hands on deck, desperation takes
- 38:08Speaker 1: some take some risks tomorrow, Like what do you have
- 38:11Speaker 1: to lose? Even if you take a risk and you
- 38:13Speaker 1: get blown and you get blown up, that's better than
- 38:16Speaker 1: being mediocre and not making the roster anyway. I'd rather
- 38:22Speaker 1: take a full swing at millions of dollars then then
- 38:24Speaker 1: kind of like I don't want to do anything in
- 38:26Speaker 1: ruin it and and you still get cut. So there's
- 38:30Speaker 1: I need some desperado playmaking this.
- 38:33Speaker 4: This divisional round for the twos and threes tomorrow night.
- 38:35Speaker 4: That's why I'm looking at it like go or go home?
- 38:38Speaker 2: Time? Literally is it now? Shout out to our boy.
- 38:41Speaker 2: She'd uh a long time listener. I really appreciate him,
- 38:44Speaker 2: He asked us. If you saw that at the bottom screen,
- 38:46Speaker 2: who specifically do you think is not having a good
- 38:47Speaker 2: camp preseason? Who are we not feeling for me? I'm
- 38:50Speaker 2: gonna put I'm gonna put my hand up. And it's
- 38:53Speaker 2: not you know what I mean. I don't think it's
- 38:54Speaker 2: really controversial anything like that. But and you talked about
- 38:58Speaker 2: it earlier in the show. I just I thought that,
- 39:02Speaker 2: like Curtis, Samuel was supposed to be something different, and
- 39:06Speaker 2: I know that he is hurt what the case may be.
- 39:09Speaker 2: But like for me, like I don't, like I don't care,
- 39:12Speaker 2: like and I and that I'm a fan, so I
- 39:14Speaker 2: don't have to care, you know what I mean. So
- 39:15Speaker 2: I'm not trying to, you know, dehumanize him or anything
- 39:18Speaker 2: like that. That's not what I mean when I say that,
- 39:19Speaker 2: but like get your shit together, like like turf tow
- 39:23Speaker 2: the first year, then you know what I mean. So
- 39:25Speaker 2: like for me, it's like it's it's either between him
- 39:28Speaker 2: or Bishop, and like I don't and I know that
- 39:30Speaker 2: they're both for injury, but like get like you need
- 39:33Speaker 2: to be on the field, Like and I don't. Like,
- 39:34Speaker 2: I don't know if you need to get in an
- 39:36Speaker 2: ice tub more or be more appliable for softy soft
- 39:39Speaker 2: tissues or whatever the case may be. But like, for
- 39:41Speaker 2: for me, it's both those guys. It's it's Samuel and Bishop,
- 39:45Speaker 2: Like I need you to play. And now at this
- 39:47Speaker 2: point in time, for Bishop, it's like you're supposed to
- 39:50Speaker 2: be the starter and everybody is You're a second round pick.
- 39:52Speaker 2: Everybody's praising you. I didn't see it last year. I
- 39:55Speaker 2: know that he came on a little bit stronger at
- 39:57Speaker 2: the end of the year, but like I can remember
- 39:58Speaker 2: the Houston game getting burned over the top. Then you
- 40:00Speaker 2: see him in Chicago almost tripping over tomorrow on that
- 40:04Speaker 2: play where he gets burned right off the line of scrimmage. Like,
- 40:06Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I those two guys for me
- 40:08Speaker 2: to answer your question, shee I, they're right at my focus. Man,
- 40:11Speaker 2: I need curtise him to play. I don't necessarily need
- 40:14Speaker 2: him to be a backfield option all that other stuff.
- 40:15Speaker 2: I know he's got a lot of different tools in
- 40:18Speaker 2: his toolbox, but like, can I just get you on
- 40:19Speaker 2: the field? Man? Like what's up?
- 40:20Speaker 1: Availability is the best ability?
- 40:22Speaker 2: Man?
- 40:22Speaker 4: And at his price tag. Yeah, that's getting painful. But
- 40:26Speaker 4: I know Brandon's got the cohone. We did a little
- 40:29Speaker 4: thirty one million dollars d answer with a certain wide
- 40:30Speaker 4: receiver and we saw the other side of that. We
- 40:33Speaker 4: got through that okay last year, so it could be done.
- 40:36Speaker 4: Not ideal, But.
- 40:40Speaker 2: Who has not lived up to your expectations that you
- 40:43Speaker 2: might have personally had to start? Anybody that thinks of mine?
- 40:47Speaker 4: For me, it's cold Bishop, And again it's hard to
- 40:49Speaker 4: get on him because of the injury, but again availability
- 40:51Speaker 4: being the best ability. It feels to me like it's
- 40:56Speaker 4: it's it's time, ol Bishop, I'm going up and down
- 40:58Speaker 4: this roster. And Elijah Moore's been quiet. That to me
- 41:02Speaker 4: has been a head scratch, Like where is that dude?
- 41:04Speaker 2: Man? I need him all the other night right then?
- 41:06Speaker 4: Yeah, I need him to have.
- 41:07Speaker 1: A thing tomorrow, Like I need to see eighteen going.
- 41:11Speaker 4: Oh there he is, you know, I need to see that.
- 41:13Speaker 4: That's gonna be disappointing if he kind of fuzzes out
- 41:16Speaker 4: on us.
- 41:16Speaker 3: Anybody that's mine, eighteen eighteen is mine, Elijah.
- 41:20Speaker 1: More like it's the it's really you. You make the roster,
- 41:24Speaker 1: you don't, I think at this point. You know, because
- 41:26Speaker 1: we can make room for China to return, we can
- 41:28Speaker 1: make room for Shavers now. And you know Brandon Bean
- 41:34Speaker 1: bust out the w g R crew and then signs
- 41:36Speaker 1: Elijah more Razor that day and you know, hey, it
- 41:42Speaker 1: was pretty positive. Yeah, well he brought in Yeah, that
- 41:45Speaker 1: was that was all gamemanship is. Jeremy was like, yeah,
- 41:51Speaker 1: not only you know, that's another thing with with Jeremy White.
- 41:54Speaker 1: We'll get into that off air. I'll tell you about that.
- 41:56Speaker 1: But we got some we got some things going on
- 41:59Speaker 1: with that right now. And all.
- 42:02Speaker 2: The train is undefeated. I mean, I understand it took
- 42:06Speaker 2: a ding last year. And then Brandon wants to call
- 42:08Speaker 2: the show and make us look like assholes. But the
- 42:10Speaker 2: Wide Receiver listen, the passengers on the Wide Receiver train,
- 42:13Speaker 2: we are we are not deterred.
- 42:15Speaker 1: We want weapons for Coleman only goes up from here,
- 42:19Speaker 1: Man from here man double nice.
- 42:23Speaker 2: Thing might be the camp m v P. Right, I
- 42:26Speaker 2: think we can give it. We could safely give him.
- 42:28Speaker 3: Zero zero minute, zero seconds on hard knocks. Yes, I
- 42:33Speaker 3: don't want to see him hard knocks. Hopefully they'll get
- 42:36Speaker 3: a bit before the show is over. I mean listen
- 42:38Speaker 3: for me.
- 42:39Speaker 2: I mean, he's the one name that you hear almost
- 42:41Speaker 2: every day, highlights on on Twitter, Instagram, stuff like that.
- 42:44Speaker 2: That that only means so much because every Timber puts
- 42:46Speaker 2: out the highlights. But I mean, I understand. But but
- 42:50Speaker 2: he has been building a rapport with Josh, and what
- 42:52Speaker 2: he said last week was true. I think that Josh
- 42:54Speaker 2: has been force feeding him a little bit in camp
- 42:57Speaker 2: to make sure that he's building up that confidence that
- 42:59Speaker 2: you are that guy, you can be that alpha not
- 43:02Speaker 2: necessarily wide receiver one in name. But you know what
- 43:04Speaker 2: I mean when I say that he's trying to bring
- 43:06Speaker 2: out that dog in him that that I know that
- 43:08Speaker 2: he has. And I think that it's intentional and I
- 43:11Speaker 2: think that a lot is kind of writing on it.
- 43:14Speaker 2: If we talked about it early in the offseason, Scott,
- 43:16Speaker 2: and you probably heard it on the show, it's it's
- 43:18Speaker 2: him Rikacate like it's.
- 43:19Speaker 1: Eighty six time.
- 43:21Speaker 4: Can you imagine productivity had last year on Offense and
- 43:24Speaker 4: Cookie was a huge part of that, right, Jimbo. But
- 43:26Speaker 4: if you can imagine getting zero in eighty six, like
- 43:29Speaker 4: a thirty five percent increase in production where they should
- 43:32Speaker 4: be on top of what we had last year. Good
- 43:35Speaker 4: luck the rest of y'all.
- 43:37Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I mean, here we go. I think
- 43:39Speaker 2: it's put up a shut of time DT for eighty six,
- 43:41Speaker 2: and you know that how I feel about him and
- 43:44Speaker 2: that pick, you know what I mean. I wasn't in
- 43:45Speaker 2: favor of it, but I kind of gave Brandon Being
- 43:47Speaker 2: some grace DT because of the fact that the wide
- 43:49Speaker 2: receiver run went right before that pick, So I gave
- 43:52Speaker 2: him some grace. But I need to see all of
- 43:54Speaker 2: the things that you envisioned with this matchup Nightmare and
- 43:57Speaker 2: flex a flex receiver almost and don't think of him
- 44:00Speaker 2: as a tight end. I really kind of need to
- 44:02Speaker 2: see all of it coming up to for wishing this
- 44:04Speaker 2: year DT.
- 44:05Speaker 4: And I don't want to hear about how that was
- 44:08Speaker 4: previous offensive coordinators pick Ken Dorsey because he wanted to
- 44:11Speaker 4: be in I have. I don't want to hear about that.
- 44:14Speaker 1: I had my first fantasy football draft, first fantasy football
- 44:17Speaker 1: draft last night. Okay, shout out, shout out to the league.
- 44:22Speaker 1: Is called Tom Brady. That's what he called nice. It
- 44:26Speaker 1: has been for years and twelve person good people in it.
- 44:30Speaker 1: And I couldn't even I didn't I had a I
- 44:34Speaker 1: went with team with Tyler Moore in the tight end
- 44:37Speaker 1: from Indianapolis, the rookie, the beast from Penn State. And
- 44:40Speaker 1: he's a rookie so late in the draft, I'm looking
- 44:43Speaker 1: for some tight end depth. You know, who can I
- 44:44Speaker 1: get to put on my bench that would help. I
- 44:47Speaker 1: couldn't even scroll to find eighty six because he's like
- 44:54Speaker 1: the no, he's like the four hundred rings player ins.
- 44:58Speaker 1: They are fast asleep on eighty You think somebody he's
- 45:02Speaker 1: not even on the page, like he's went undirect.
- 45:05Speaker 2: He was.
- 45:05Speaker 4: He was a sleeper tight end three.
- 45:07Speaker 2: Wait wait, wait, wait, so Scott, you're ready for it.
- 45:10Speaker 2: This is coming up party. He was. He was.
- 45:12Speaker 4: He was my sleeper in fantasy and some somebody got
- 45:15Speaker 4: him ahead of me that didn't know what they were doing,
- 45:17Speaker 4: which really pisses me off.
- 45:19Speaker 2: Right, what you're expecting, what you're expecting.
- 45:20Speaker 4: I was gonna grab him because I think that's going
- 45:22Speaker 4: to be one of those guys that lights up the
- 45:24Speaker 4: fantasy board this year. The fantasy world is neozing on him.
- 45:28Speaker 4: So yeah, a that that'll be. I'll put that down
- 45:31Speaker 4: in an ink as a hot take.
- 45:33Speaker 1: Man, I think that all eighty seven, all the comparisons
- 45:38Speaker 1: are to eighty seven. Right, So let's so we need
- 45:42Speaker 1: so we need some fourteen target fifteen target games.
- 45:46Speaker 2: Man, I'm not holding my I am not holding my
- 45:49Speaker 2: breath on that.
- 45:50Speaker 4: I don't know about that many targets. I just need
- 45:51Speaker 4: to see him play cleaner and separate and do that
- 45:55Speaker 4: magic thing that he's supposed to be good for.
- 45:57Speaker 2: But and then the funny thing is that they said
- 45:58Speaker 2: that he created separation, that he was open last year,
- 46:00Speaker 2: but Josh missed him a lot and.
- 46:03Speaker 4: He got hurt.
- 46:06Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know, I know that that's uh, that's
- 46:10Speaker 2: kind of taboo to talk about Josh in a negative light.
- 46:12Speaker 1: But he himself, he says he's got on eighty six.
