Speaker 1 (00:30):
What's good, folks, Welcome to another edition of the Cover
one Film Room, The Show that gives you the Hows
and the Wise by hum Both oh Man, I don't
want to do this episode anymore, flubbed the intro right
at the beginning, and we're live. I have answer, the
show that gives you the hows and the wise behind
both the good and the bad of the Buffalo Bill

(00:53):
as I am one of your two hosts, Anthony Preaska,
joined as always by Eric Turner and Eric. Bill's camp
started today. We have real football to talk about. Yeah, excitement.
We are another day closer towards real football in whatever form,
whether it's the scrimmage next week, whether it's preseason, whether
it's the regular season. We're another day closer, another day

(01:15):
closer to having more film for us to go through
and not have to scour for different things in the
indiantrols of the off season. But here we are in
the film room talking about day one of Bill's training camp.
But before we get to that, how you doing, How
you feeling? How's it going?

Speaker 2 (01:29):
I mean, how you can imagine how I'm feeling. I mean,
probably not as good as you because you actually got
to go watch practice today. But no, I'm happy, man,
I'm happy that the season is finally here. No more
speculation and trying to create topics, you know, and narratives
and explain things. Everything's in front of us now, you know,
the seasons upon us. It sounded like it was a

(01:51):
beautiful day out at St. John Fisher University. Ryan as
eleven blueberries. That was his that's his guests for how
many blueberries are in the blueberry muffin?

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Right, yeah, Joe asked me. Joe Marino asked me that
last night, and I did not have an answer. I
thought he was referencing the movie Casino. He hadn't seen Casino.
We went down a rabbit hole, got distracted as we
were ones to do. But I think it's part of
the excitement around this time of year. Joe and I
were talking about it last night. You and I have
been talking about this for weeks offline and online, just
like man training camp and like getting there and having

(02:19):
real stuff to go over. And you could feel that
kind of excitement today at Fisher. I think that excitement
has always kind of been there, even you know, going
there as a little kid during the drought. It was
always it was a different kind of energy though. It
was always like, oh man, the promise of a new year,
like is this the year that something good happens? And
now it's more of like, is this the you know,

(02:41):
no jinks obviously, but it is this the year of
you know, forget when in the division again and of
course we're going to the playoffs? Like is this the
year we finally win the Super Bowl? Is this the
year we get past the Chiefs or whatever? And you know,
the new additions. From a rookie perspective, From a free
agent perspective, it was, yeah, it was. It was a
cool day. I was very lucky to be able to go,
and I will be suffering through the rest of the

(03:01):
night as I go back to my doing my day job.
Yes I do, Mari. I will be up very late
and then it rids a repeat tomorrow. So yeah, good
good times. But yeah, I can't complain.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
So let's add some context to day one at training
camp at Saint John Fisher. Let us know what was
the weather, like, the situation were they in pad just
helmet shells? What was that situation? And the overall vibe
check you kind of touched upon it there the overall
vibe check from the first day with Hard Knocks around again,
a different element, a different dynamic with having those cameras

(03:34):
all around and filming everything. What was the vibe like
on day one.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
I'll kind of work backwards from what you listen out there,
you know, seeing the Hard Knocks stuff. I had forgotten
about it until I got there, and there are signs
up everywhere kind of like the deal of like we're
filming for something, so your presence here means that you
consent to like being on camera from show you in
a background shot or whatever. And that was kind of

(03:59):
around You're like, oh yeah, like knocks, and then there's
just throughout practice there's just I felt so bad, like
people just walking around with bags of like heavy camera
equipment and like different lenses and different stuff, and people
holding the cord and guys lugging around the big camera.
There was a lot I that was actually crediting kind
of cool to see I've never seen and I feel

(04:20):
like this is for most people. I've never been to
a training camp practice where Hard Knocks was being done,
So seeing how much, like how many people it takes,
how much shooting is being done, like all the all
the equipment it takes.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
That was actually kind of yeah, a lot.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Of boots on the ground. I felt like it was
at times, I was like it was like a little
like military invasion going on here, Like there's a lot
of there's a lot of activity happening. That was pretty
cool to see. And I think, you know, going into
that vibe check piece as well, a lot of energy
from the players today. I noted it, especially from the
defensive side of the ball, but there was there was
a little more juice, especially early on very first play

(05:00):
of team. It was all red zone work today, but
Taylor Rapp had a PBu on the very first play
team and it was like the defense was like crazy
hype for it, like right out of the gate, and
I was like, oh, and that energy stayed from that
moment on and there was all you could hear the
guys talking to each other even in drills and everything.
So it was a nice piece to see, and you know,
I think the crowd felt that a lot of cheering,

(05:21):
a lot of MVP chants for Josh right out of
the gate, a lot of celebration pieces for him in
that regard, and that excitement, you know, being felt for
the season and then you can keep working backwards. No pads,
so just helmets, no shells as well, just jerseys and helmets.
And the weather was beautiful. I woke up and it
was like see something degrees.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yeah it was chilly, Yeah it was, but they're relatively
you know, the mini camps we've been to are the
training camps we've been to.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
And then it kept getting meatale warmer, and I saw
it was like, well, the highest is like eighty six
today and it's like sixty, so I know it's gonna
get a little warmer, but it was beautiful. Around ten
thirty is started to get a little warmer, and right
as practice ended it started to creep up to like
eighty seven to eighty eight ninety degree and it's supposed
to be like that for tomorrow, which I'm not looking

(06:09):
forward to. But yeah, it was beautiful for a majority
of the day. And then yeah, you know where we
sit a high vantage point in the bleachers, we're closer
to the sun. You're just cooking alms, dude, it's like
you're on foil in it on.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
You're basically like Polly Walnuts from Sopranos, where he's sitting
out in front of Satra alleys with his you know
that tinfoil's just catching the rays like you're basically that
the entire practice. But that is the view we're used
to watching, right, that's the view we're used to watching
up you know, seeing everything. And that was my next question.
You know, where did you sit? Where were your eyes

(06:45):
in the sky? But I should have known you're up
up there where.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
We always go. We go on that top corner as
close to the top as we can get, still trying
to get I went a little farther away from like
the little bird's nest where like all the fish, you
guys go a little further to the left because it
was more open, and I also wanted to see the
defense was doing all their work to the left in
that separate spot, so I had an eye there. But yeah, usually, yeah,

(07:11):
you know, if I go to our spot where we go.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yep, So what what was the tempo? Like on day one?
You did mention red zone.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
That's going to be something the piece of context that
as we go through this episode, you guys have to
keep in mind when we're talking about what schemes, what
plays they're running, what type of coverages they're running, what
the offense is working on, what the defense is working on.
Keep that in mind. It's red zone for the you know,
most of practice today. That's that's what they saw. But

(07:39):
what was the temple? Like you said the defense was
kind of kind of routing setting off the tone early
in practice, but what was the overall tempo? Like again
that there's a different dynamic there, but it's one that
I think the Bills team is equipped for dealing with
the spotlight and having cameras around all the time and
being micd up. You heard Josh Allen mentioned that in
his press conference and how they are kind of of

(08:00):
used to that, they're kind of built on that now
because of the success they've had. But what was the
tempo and and just the feeling of practice?

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Good tempo to practice and you know, actually a little
more now that I'm like thinking of it, a little
more vocal aspects as they went from drill to drill
and segment to segment, And maybe I just didn't notice
that in years past, but it felt like I could,
like I could hear the next segment being called out
and I don't remember that in years past, and then

(08:28):
like followed up by like different rowdy aspects from team,
from the team or other coaches. I don't remember that
in years past, but overall, good tempo. Everything was really
clean in terms of where they were moving, where they
were going to pace. I think from the guys was
noticeable maybe a little more pep in the step. I
don't know if it's because the start of training camp
or because hard knocks was there, or you know, some

(08:49):
other reason, but yeah, a lot of a lot of
just real quick, we're going here, we're going there, get
right in, huddle up, raw raw rah, let's get after it.
Whether it was individual, whether it was team, whether it
was special team stuff that they were working on, really
good temple, really paid, really good pace. Honestly, if it
let's see, there was a bunch of bunch of the

(09:10):
guys stayed after practice was about an hour and a half.
A bunch of the guys stayed after to kind of
keep going through some things. Yeah, so it went from
like nine forty five to about eleven fifteen, but it
flew because it wasn't. Yeah, I was thinking maybe it
really pushed too, I thought, yeah, I was thinking maybe
nine forty five to eleven forty five. Yeah, for any Yeah,

(09:30):
but finished up. Yeah, maybe basically like eleven fifteen. And
then that was like for the official pieces, like Allen
was still working with receiver, the receivers a bunch of guys. Honestly,
a lot of guys were still doing some individual work
or you know, I meant like Dornan Strong was doing
stuff with Christian Benford. The offensive line was working, you know,
different offensive linemen were still doing stuff with one another.
That happened. That went to like eleven forty eleven forty

(09:54):
five ish, But that hour and a half it felt
like it flew by because everything was, oh seamless, like
how they were moving very you could tell that everybody
was just very aligned, very prepared, prepared for day one
in terms of the objective, the directive, what they were doing,
and then even the little things too, like we always noticed,
like what drills they were doing in an individual how

(10:15):
that tied into what they were doing from a team perspective,
especially cause I had the tight ends in front of
me for a lot of it. So they were focused
on a lot of blocking pieces, a lot of tight
alignment aspects, which was interesting to see, like how much
Kincaid was going to be in line, especially with knocks out,
and I was like, Oh, does that give him more
of an opportunity for that? But I thought everything tied
really well together. I thought it was succinct and crisp

(10:38):
overall in terms of how things flowed and where they
moved and how they executed well.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
I'm glad you mentioned the tight end room. I'm glad
you mentioned Dawston Knox. I'm gonna start there kind of
like the Injury Watch guys that didn't really participate.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Dawstonin Knox was one of those guys.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Spencer Brown, Cedric van Prand Granger is also another guy
who didn't participate in this practice.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
But let's start with the tight ends. Let's start with
dust knocks.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
It seemed like, when you know, the field work started happening,
it seemed like I saw a lot of uh information
coming out from you and from guys that were on
the ground that Davison and Hawes their draft pick were
kind of rotating in and out and so how did
they look, man, What type of assignments or alignments were
they in when they were in Because they are very

(11:23):
different tight ends and in many ways, like if I
was going to put the tight ends in a bucket.
I put Dawson, Knox, and Hawe kind of in the
same bucket, but I think Knox is obviously a balanced
tight end. Hawes is a little more locking, you right,
He's a little more niche down, but they hope to
develop him. But then I put Davison in Kincaid in
the same box because Davison's actually very athletic. For as

(11:46):
big as he is, he's very athletic and he moves smoothly.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
So how did those guys look? Where were they used?

Speaker 2 (11:51):
What was your takeaway from those two tight ends getting
more reps with knocks out?

Speaker 1 (11:55):
And you know, I think my first takeaway was how
much Vidson and Hawes both saw work with the ones.
I would say it was pretty close in terms of snapshare,
and it was almost like they it almost kind of reinforced,
like Kinkaid is going to be Kinkaid like what we've
seen as far as his role. That's going to continue.
So then if Knox is out, they're much more comfortable

(12:19):
again day one, Yes, grain of salt, but they as
of day one, they seem much more inclined to put
you know, Davidson as the in line and Kinkaid is
hipped off of him, and then even more so with
pause because you know who Hawes is. But I think
you nailed it kind of leaning into the buckets. They'd
go twelve personnel, but then they'd go full spread and
go three by two and Davidson's in one slot, Kinkaid

(12:42):
is in the other. Hawes was more traditional why stuff
like he is in and around and attached to the Yeah,
attached to the light as much as possible, not really
splitting him out too much, but he you know, and
I saw it on the tape of Georgia Tack. He's
not some athletic marvel.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
And the stuff from the backfield alignments was kind of cool,
and he's like, he's kind of like that uh sniff
that sniffer tight end, and then he kind of leads
on those countertraits to the weak side and leads like
that type of stuff is kind of cool, And I
was hoping that they would lean into that and some
of maybe more of their spread looks, which I know
is something you touched upon in the in today's practice.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
Yeah, and similar thought. I just think with Hawes, he's again,
he's not he's not Kincaid, but he's got some I
don't want to say explosion because I feel like it
paints in the wrong way. But he's a powerful guy
and we talked about it last year with Ady Mitchell,
like his explosion isn't this speed burst, it's explosion like
power in those steps.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
With how he moves the underneath, he can definitely do.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
Exactly zero to ten. There's some pop there. You really
see it as a blocker though, I think, and again
no surprise watching the tight ends and blocking everybody you know, Kinkaid, Davidson, Lattu,
Hawes there, you can even with no pads on, you
just hear the pop in the hands every time Hawes
engages with a blocker engages with a pad. And Boris

(14:07):
was doing their tight ends coach Scott Boris, rob Rob Boris,
thank you, Scott Boris is an agent. I do that
all the time. Yeah, oh man. And I was doing
so good today. I didn't mess, I didn't call I
didn't call Jackson Hawes Spencer like, I was doing so
good and I screwed up. Was so close. I shouldn't
should have gone for it. Sou just stuck with the
last name. He was working a lot with Hawes and

(14:29):
there were times where Hawes was like frustrated himself. It
was more even especially on like some of their combo
blocks and their double teams. Boris didn't think, you know, again,
from my vantage point, Boris thought that, you know, Hawes
was kind of just I don't want to say going
through the motions because it sounds bad, but on some
of the double teams, like he could have done more
of a gallop step and pushed his man down, given
him a really good punch and then moved down to

(14:50):
the next lee. Yes, instead of kind of just you
could tell the one where he got to him and
he was talking to him and very demonstrated him and
he was like that and then the next thing he
did like show him how you really wanted to get
into him at Hawes was kind of pissed at himself
for it, but yeah, it was interesting to see how
that Knox being out is disappointing because it feels like
another like we never get Kincaid and Knox healthy together

(15:12):
these past couple of years. But it was really interesting
to see that they were like, Okay, we'll just plug
these guys into the Knox role more and leave Kinkaid
to kind of continue to do his thing as he's
done the past couple of years, and again it's day one.
I don't want everybody to be like see, because that
means he can't block and we're screwed. He's just a
big wide receiver. But it was interesting to see that.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
So it seemed in real quick speaking to King Kid,
it seemed like he had a pretty good day in
the red zone periods, catching at least a couple of
touchdowns according to I think it was Chris Brown that
had talked about it after practice. But you're any quick
takeaways on Kinkaid again, his usage, and I mean red zone,
it's an area that he can he can really help

(15:55):
this Bill's offense. We're gonna have a nice little red
zone target discussion towards the end of this EPISOD. So,
but what we were takeaways from Kincaid aside from hey, okay,
we're gonna work in everyone else over here, why and whatnot,
But when it comes to the actual like hybrid tight
end receiver Kincaid, we're gonna keep his role, you know,

(16:16):
exclusively for him.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah, he you know, I'm he caught one touchdown for sure.
The the nice PBu that the Bills were account reposted
of Max Harston having that breakup on the kJ Hammer pass.
Literally the next play was a touchdown to Kincaid where
Harston was there and he didn't get the PBu so

(16:38):
k got a touchdown there and then he also had
one that like kind of little rpo bubble, but he
made a move and they called him down at like
the four because he got tagged. But if it was live,
I don't think the corners had leverage. Yeah, he would
have scored. But good movement, similar to I don't want
to make it seem like a non story, but similar
to what we've seen from him, good movement, the fluidity,

(16:59):
the technicality he finds space. He looked good an individual
in terms of getting into his routes and you know,
stemming things. And again it's just that it's it's that fluid,
that fluid technicality that we continue to see from him,
and it was on display. You can tell he moves
so uniquely, not even just from a tight end position,

(17:19):
but just he moves just very differently. It's similar toly
how you know Palmer and more. They move differently than
a lot of the other wide receivers. Kin Kid is
just in his own bucket and again that was on
display today. You know, as a pass catcher and his alignments.
We're going to continue to see him get put in
motion a little bit, but then he's hipped off, he's
aligned out wide, he's in the slot. They're doing some

(17:42):
candy I think one or two today maybe where he
was the quasi X in some condensed stuff. But yeah,
similar kind of you know what we've seen in terms
of part for the course.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Yeah, base offense stuff and real quick. Who was the
first man up for Spencer Brown? It's supposedly a backflareut
for Brown. I don't think it's anything serious, but he's
had back issues but it seems pretty minor. I don't
think he'll be out long. But who's the first man up?
What were your thoughts on the guys that kind of
filled in for him?

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Grabil was first man up, and then they also worked
in Vandermark throughout the rest of the practice. They rotated
a bit there, but it started out with Grabel and
he got a heavy piece at right tackle early on.
But I'm both a good in the run. I mean,
the offensive line did really again no pads, no one, yeah, YadA,
but the offensive line looked good from a run defense perspective, passporal,

(18:35):
I think Grabel. I would say Grabil was more solid
than Vandermark only because two reps come to my mind
where Vandermark lost. One was Hoight getting a really good
He timed the hell out of the snap, and just
by the time vander Mark was getting out of his
like getting into his set, Hoyt was already flattening and

(18:57):
getting around him. And then Bosa got him on one
a little stabbed to the chest and turn it was
they were flattened and get around the corner a little bit.
But overall, those.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
Both reps, if you remember, were those both reps from
the left left defensive end spot versus the right tackle
where or was it.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
So Vandermark being at right tackle and then both yeah,
and then Hoyt and Bosa book coming off that left
defensive end spot. But but you know, I don't, I'm
not gonna say vander Mark had a bad day. Just
those two reps kind of come to my mind, and
it was interesting to see them both that We'll see
what happens tomorrow. Maybe Vandermark comes out with the ones instead,
but I did. I thought it was very interesting that
Grabil was man up.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
Yeah right, I mean not that Vandy isn't. But well,
when you're talking size measurables and all that good stuff,
you know it's a guy that I know Chromer is
pretty high on and you know he wants to develop Grabel.
So that that that that caught my eye because immediately
you know, normally that's Vandy, whether it's left act or

(19:55):
right deck, but like he usually he's the guy. But
now it seems like, you know that that gap has
has shrunk. And to see Greg bil In there that
caught my attention. But another guy, another position that has
caught the attention of a lot of fans is uh,
we're gonna start cornerback two and the cornerback two competition
that battle going between Trey White, Maxwell Harrison. As if

(20:16):
people in the chat were wondering about Mad and Max
and men and several others, but talk about Trey White.
He went out there with the ones today on all accounts,
how did he look? Sounded like he was the same
old Trey just personality wise, but also when it comes
to playing football on the field.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
That tweet was so funny because I posted it and
there was a bunch of people that were just like
oh cool or like noted it, And then there were
so many people on the other side there were like
this sucks. Can't believe he's out there with the ones.
Maybe he's Harriston's a bust or Trey is done. I
was like, oh, I was like, all right, okay, fair
enough they did. So Trey started with the ones, got
a good chunk of I would still say at the

(20:57):
end of the day, even as they started to rotate
Harston with the ones, I would put it down to
like fifty five forty five or fifty seven forty three
in favor of Trey, with how much work that he
got with the ones. But he looked good, like first
and foremost. And I said it on Twitter. I'm saying
it again, massive, massive, no Jinks fingers crossed here. He
looked very healthy, like no hitch in the Giddea up.

(21:19):
He had one where he covered Harriston, had one where
he covered Elijah Moore on a whip, and I think
Trey had one as well, and went inside. Tray was
at the right corner spot. Trey and Harrison were both
working off the right corner spot. Benford was pretty much
exclusively on the left. There were a couple of man
coverage instances where he traveled with the motion man and
came across. But so Trey, imagine going inside on that

(21:42):
whip route and as soon as the receiver plants, Trey
plants explodes out beats the receiver to the spot, stayed
in phase. And you saw that a lot like the
really good movement lower body.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
Movement from twitching us is still there.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
You can see it as last year progressed on his
film that twitching is and ability to trigger is still there.
There's no doubt about it, man, And and so I'm
glad to hear that, especially when you're talking anticipating a
route with that return route coming back out at him
for him to be able to jump it. Like I
think fans immediately think, uh, you know he lost a

(22:16):
step like long speed that he still can't drive on
the stuff underneath. No, Actually, that's where I thought he
was still good last year, is his ability to being
off coverage and trigger and come downhill and drive on
that quick game, which is something that talked about all
off season how the Bills had to be better in
the quick game and how teams attack them that way.
Terrell Bernard came on and told us that they were

(22:37):
cognizant of it. And so I think that people hear
Trey White, uncle Trey, and how light hearted he is,
how he's gonna be the you know, the the face
for hard knocks and you know, be that lighthearted guy.
I think that's all true. But we have to remember
Trey White, at the heart of himself is a super

(22:57):
competitive guy. Like just think about all those years where
him and Digs were going at it every single training
camp rep, you know, and and those were some fun times.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
You know.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
They always were talking about iron sharpens. Ire. Trey White
may be up.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
There in age and have these injuries under his belt
and all that and trying to redeem himself, but he
knows the system. He fits the system well, and I
still think he's got the feat to do damage in
this bill scheme.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
Yeah, and you always tied two to you know, he
played at LSU when we know everything about the SEC
and he rocked that number eighteen. And that goes to
the dude at LSU who is like a leader who's
selfless commitment to the team, like on and off the field.
But it also represents like how reliable they are and
how dedicated they are, and he took that from LSU

(23:45):
and carried it throughout the league. With how hard he
works and how competitive he is. That's part of the
reason too. All the when he was coming back from
the first significant injury he had and he talked about
all like the mental and emotional like things about it,
it was because he couldn't compete like he could, wouldn't
go out.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
And in his head he thought he could still do
the same stuff, but physically it just wasn't clicking there.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
And that ties back to how competitive he is. And
for I think it's a great point by you. For
as much as it's like, oh, you know, Trey's here
to take these guys under his wing, and man, it's
great for Hairston and Dorian Strong to learn from Trey.
And that's true. Trey's not just being like, yeah, cool,
I'll sit at CB three or C before. He wants
to win a job, and he was playing out there
like he wants to believe it.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
He's not gonna He's not gonna just let this first
rounder take this position.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
Guys.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
I honestly think there's a good chance that Trey could
start early in the season. At least, and then obviously
as the season progresses and you know, things on the
defense start to be added, and you know, each game
plan is a little different, maybe then something happens. But
Tray's he's super competitive, don't let all that other stuff
fool you. I think he's gonna give Hairston a run
for his money. So talking to Harrison, yeah, what happened

(24:55):
with him today seemed like there was some ups and downs,
but as progressed he got better. What would you say
his first day and how that went.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
I think he, you know, similar to Trade, they both
look good. Trey was just more of typical Tray like
always being in the right place at the right time,
passing off well in coverage, collecting and coverage from his
own perspective than being you know, sticking in phasing man.
Harriston I think was similar, but a couple more high
highs and a couple more you know low lows. The
lows being you know, even the the PBu that the

(25:27):
Bills account put out and even that I retweeted it
was really nice recovery speed by Hairston, like something that
we saw on tape a Kentucky. But that happened because
he got beat inside, yeah, and gave up that space,
but he has the juice to be able to close
it down, which is fine. I think the you know,
we should have had that PBu or a breakup on
the Kincaid touchdown catch. He was mad at himself over

(25:50):
that one. So little things like that, but overall, just
a lot of juice to his game. I thought he
did a good job staying in phase. He did a
good job zone as well. He and Tray. Really it
was a good performance I think for both honestly that
you know, if we're calling Trey a top three corner
on this team, I think we are. Benford had an
amazing day, but then Hairston and Trey were both Yeah,

(26:13):
Like Hairston and Tray were both right after him. The
top three corners for the Bills had a very strong day. Yeah,
And this is this is that play. We get some
camp film here. This is a great you know, close
on the ball. PBu honestly should have had a pick,
but he got beat initially inside and that's why there
was so much space. But he did a great job,
you know, making up for it and getting the PVU.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
That's his name of the game, you know, his his
his physicality, his his makeup. I should say, his ability,
his speed, his recovery speed as you see it on
that play.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
It's really his calling card.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
We talked about how at Kentucky he played a lot
of zone, a lot of off zone, and he was
able to trigger come downhill on that quick game stuff
because of his speed. But he was also able to
cover deep zones because of his speed. And so you
see it right there. So yeah, sometimes you know, those
type of skills give you options, right and you can

(27:07):
see that coming through right there, that recovery speed, getting
beat early on in the route, but staying in the play,
recovering and closing and making a play in the end zone.
Like you can't ask for much more other than you know,
competing early but something. Sometimes these type of things happen.
But it was nice to see him make a play
on the ball at the Catchbain.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Yeah, and again we talked about it. We talked about
it when we broke down his tape and so many
people got yelled at with so many people yelled at
us because we were like, oh, it's tackling, you know,
could we used some work. He would get beat from
time to time, but He's got that recovery speed and
that juice, and I think that was really cool to see,
is that short area burst, closing ability, recovery speed. And

(27:51):
again with all of this for him, for Benford, for
Tray you mentioned earlier, everything we're talking about his red zone,
So there is somewhat of an inherent benefit to the
defense with the extra defenders and the extra defender in
the red zone of the back of the end zone
and the sideline right, so it allows you to play
in certain areas and within certain coverages and have certain leverage.
But what he was able, what Harrison was able to

(28:12):
do from a recovery standpoint, the speed just really translated.
Like you seeing him in person, it was very much like, Okay,
it makes sense that he runs a four two, it's
not like really like he he tested that well, I
don't see it, you see it right away. And especially
it's so cool seeing him and Trey kind of battle
a bit because Trey, like you said, he also had

(28:34):
some short area burst in twitch that I that I
don't think a lot of people were expecting. But he's
doing it that way, combined with his footwork and his
hands and knowing how to have good space. Yes, all
of that. So it's the technique with some physical elements
versus the guy with all the physical traits for the
most part, trying to learn him. And it's such a
cool battle in terms of you know, who sharpens who

(28:57):
and how and but yeah, both had a strong day,
only behind Benford who had a crazy day.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yeah, like I said, I want to hold out on
that because I have a really cool segment I want
to do on that. But okay, so safety cold Bishop
seems like he took most of the reps with the
ones with that said, what was the communication between Bishop
and rap I think that is something that you know,
I've been infatuated with when it comes to the safety

(29:23):
position with the Bills is the ability to communicate verbally
and nonverbally, the ability to disguise things. The Bills have
to do a better job of disguising their coverages this year.
I think that, you know, with the inconsistencies at that
position since hide employer have been gone, they haven't gotten
back up to that. And so getting Taron Johnson and
those two safeties on the same page is very important

(29:46):
when it comes to changing that. Pre to posting that picture,
what was that practice like for cold Bishop in there
as a starter primarily with rap and we're talking again
red zone in high leverage situations in the condensed area
of the field, when there's a lot of motion happening
by Joe brady offense. How is their communication? How did
they look together?

Speaker 3 (30:05):
On Day one?

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Great call with the motion from Joe Brady's offense, Like
that's gotten to a point where I know, like a
couple of years ago, we were like, oh, man, look
at all the motion, and now it's to the point
that like it doesn't even register for me because it's like, oh, yeah,
that's Joe Brady's offense. They run a motion last year,
like they're really good when they use motion in the
run in the past, and we saw that continue. You know,
condensed formations and motion continue to be a theme for

(30:26):
this Bill's offense. But both of those things tested the
Bill's defense, like you mentioned, and it was cool to
see them early on right out of the gate, especially
when they went with more of kind of like man
or even match type of stuff. And when they're banjoing
different things and coming off the motion, you could hear them,
or at least I could hear them because they were
almost right in front of me. You could hear the communications,

(30:48):
the checks, the calls, and then more importantly you saw
the post snap execution for the defense as a whole,
and a lot of that. You know, Taylor Rapp, like
we talked about last year, he was at the center
that doing a lot of communicating, pointing things out, a
bit of you know that Terrell Bernard air traffic controller aspect.
But on the back end, Cold Bishop I think was
more not more responsive, and you know, something would get

(31:11):
told to him and he'd acknowledge it and relay and
they worked well. There weren't really again early on in
camp and weren't in the red zone. Not really a
lot of blown coverages. Maybe honestly one or two tops
where some guy was open and you know they talked
about it after. But Bishop was pretty sound today. A
couple of man reps where he's covering the slot, whether
it was a wide receiver or a tight end. We're

(31:33):
getting some you know, cover zero type of looks, and
then Cold Bishop is covering a guy in the slot,
rap is also covering someone else and then show that later.
But we're gonna drop in his zone, so I think,
you know, they actually played well off of one another
again in the red zone and that type of element.
But rap doing his job. We know what he is
at this point. Veteran presence knows this defense continues to

(31:54):
be a key cog from a alignment and get ready
perspective and then kind of taking it all in stride,
and you know, to your first point on this, I
am fairly confident. I don't think any other safety took
first team's reps beside those two. It was essentially those two,
then Hamlin and Forrest, and then Owens and Hancock and

(32:18):
Owens and to Corey Couch Nickel corner from Miami who
I like, who got work with the third team as
a safety. Him and Handcock were kind of rotating in
and out between Nickel and safety with one another, which
I thought was interesting.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
All right, So, given the situation and context of red zone,
high leverage situations, what did the d N rotation look like?
You know, whether it's the starter or the second wave?

Speaker 3 (32:40):
Like, what did that?

Speaker 2 (32:42):
How did that shape up? When we're talking, because that's
that's interesting to me too, because especially when there's no
pads on like the first day today, Like, okay, how
much running were they actually doing. Was it more pass
rush oriented calling from the offense and defense? What were
the rotations like with the d ns in the first practice,
you know.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
Starting to set the base for that off of what
you said from an offensive perspective, decent chunk of running,
I think it was. Everything was more pass wording. I
would I would lean sixty five thirty five or maybe
sixty forty. I don't care. I think I form it.
I would say sixty five thirty five or sixty forty
in terms of pass versus run. A lot of duo

(33:23):
with them running and a duo was probably about eighty
percent of what they did today. But they got they
had success on it. Yeah, better for them, I'll say
at the end of the day, just go back to duo. Yeah,
especially because hey, let's put in perspective.

Speaker 3 (33:36):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
You know when the Bills get into the low red zone,
which is a lot of today, was that low red
zone ten yards and in uh to the goal line,
they want to shrink the field. They want to go condense.
They want to bring everyone in. Why because defenses normally
want to play more man coverage. So they want to
condense and bring everyone in. Why because then they can
run duo and get James Cook to the perimeter, you know,
and get them the run back to their perimeter. So

(33:58):
that makes sense, that checks out. That's still gonna be
their bread and butter. It's it's what why James Cook
had so much success when we were talking touchdowns last.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
Year and he looked good on it. Space was created,
there was displacement and Cook was able to eat. Davis
had a couple of good runs one particularly on dual.
They got a good chunk of yards as well, but
it was mainly a past focus, like you said, from
a defensive end rotation standpoint, Rousseau and Epanessa were essentially
kind of like with the ones some other guys kind

(34:29):
of rotated in, but essentially the rotation was Grooten, Epanessa,
Hoyt and Bosa.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
Awesome, that's a cool second wave.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Iut like that. Yeah, and you know what's and not
to be like I mean, I'm big into like aesthetics
and stuff like that, but like when Hoyt and Bosa
are both the edges, yeah, they're just like Groot is big,
but he's more like long hot. Just looked like two
juggernauts who are ready to just like wreck shop off
the edge. So yeah, that was the second wave. Then

(35:01):
Solomon and you know it was getting a good chunk
of work. I had to look up his number today,
Hayden Harris number fifty two. Would get to like work, Yeah,
it would get working with Solomon, he got some second
team reps. The first time they went team it was
it went right from Rousseau and Epanessa to Solomon and

(35:23):
Hayden Harris. And then the next time they did that,
then they started to work in Bosa and Hoy with
the twos, and then Bosa and Hoy with the ones
and kind of work in and move forward from there.
I didn't see a lot of land In Jackson today
and it kind of hit me once the practice ended
like that, And I don't know if that's related to
injury or whatever.

Speaker 3 (35:44):
He actually like practice practice though, right, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
He was doing some individual stuff over with the defense whenever,
and then when they came over to do actual like
team practice. I didn't really see him do anything to
the point that no disrespect. I forgot like all about him.
Into Someone was like, how did Landa Jackson look? And
I was like, oh, I don't think I saw him.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
I remember hearing that that he was actually cleared the practice,
but they managed it. They're still managing it from a
a in a certain sense. But all right, So switching
gears from the defense, let's talk about the wide receiver rotation.
What did that look like? Where were those guys used,
where were those guys targeted? What was your feeling or

(36:26):
overall feeling of this wide receiver group and really the
only group that was kind of made over a little bit,
like what was the vibe from them in today's practice.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
So first, if we're just talking from a pure kind
of like the top wide receivers in the rotation, if
and this isn't in any particular order, but if I
had to name like a top three wide receivers on
the depth chart right now, it's Palmer Shakir and Keyan Coleman.
Samuel is kind of fourth, Elijah Morris fifth. But even

(36:56):
when they separated into defense went to do its own thing,
and so you had first team offense and second team
offense doing their thing. Palmer Shakir, Keon and Samuel stayed
with the ones, and then Elijah Moore went over with
the two. So that's kind of like where they cut it.
I don't know how purposeful that was or not, but

(37:17):
a lot of work for Palmer and Keon and Shakir
overall in terms of like traditional wide receiver stuff, each
of them getting worked in some you know, some stacks,
some bunches, you know, tight bunch or just like overall
like kind of trips looks. Palmer getting looks as the X,
Keon Coleman getting some looks as the X. But also Palmer,

(37:38):
Coleman and Shakir, each one of them saw snaps kind
of closer or tight to the formation somewhat a la
the MATC. Collins role from last year, but also just
kind of you know, one thing I'm thinking of in particular,
it essentially came out of like a two Y two,
but Palmer was, Keon Coleman was the ex Palmer was

(37:58):
in the slot but almost ed off of the left tackle.
Then he goes in motion across the formation. They continue
that and kind of put him out into the flat
to create some hotals on a leverage and then run
a stick concept based off of that with the two
inside receivers. But those three receivers got the heaviest workload
with the ones. In terms of Palmer Coleman and Shakir

(38:18):
Shakir did Khalil Sekir things. He looked good and drill
look good. In team. Palmer looked good as well. Him
and Alan were doing a lot of talking today. Him
and Brady were doing a lot of talking today and
not in bad ways, but you could tell that they're
really trying to build a rapport and get on the
same page. Palmer talking about what he's looking for, Brady
talking about what he's looking for. Kean had a couple.

(38:40):
Keon had the unfortunate task of coming up against Christian
Benford a lot today and nobody won against Christian Benford.
Anybody receiver tight end anyone. But overall I thought they
looked fine and drill. Elijah Moore didn't see it necessarily
a team. He looked really I know it's drill. He
just moves so good in drill, his feet, his hips,

(39:01):
the transitions, like he's the dude. Like if you want
to know how to do like proper footwork and receiver drills,
like you just need to watch Elijah more and then
do that in drill. So I'm hoping it translates more
once they're not doing red zone and they're not just
doing you know, pure kind of condensed type of stuff.
See if he gets more of an opportunity. But the
movement was yeah, like just and not a lot of

(39:23):
wasted movement, and like sudden, sudden, good in and out
of his breaks and with his transitions, and not a
lot of wasted movement. And you saw that consistently whether
he was catching passes or they were just doing wide
receiver drills an individual.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
This is we're looking at a video clip from Alex
Bras Garratt Boy, and this what leads me to the
I love this this, you know, thought of the wide
receiver room and what they bring to the Bills this year.
I obviously you see a lot of different type of
overall body types. But what I like about that is
that Josh now can adjust the pacing or velocity on

(39:57):
the route, the trajectory on where he puts it. Okay,
if I'm in the red zone again red zone, within
the context of red zone, if I'm throwing the keon Coleman,
I want a fifty to fifty ball, back shoulder it
for him. Well, if I'm throwing it to Palmer, Palmer's
gonna you know, in the red zone he's gonna work
those releases. He's gonna create separation that way, so I
can throw it up and over and have him run

(40:19):
to it. Well, when you have more running these type
of whip routes, he can run the crossing route or
make it look like a crossing route and return it
back out to the boundary because he's so quick in
and out of his brakes as you're seeing right there. Okay,
king kid, here's another target in the red zone. His
agility and the ability to work to the ball is
just awesome. And you saw that on a touchdown in
the red zone today. Dawson NOTx when he's healthy, scramble

(40:42):
drill for him. Him and Alan have always been good
in that. And then Shakira you said it, Shakira is
just always baseline. He's always clutched some of those catches
in the red zone over the years. He's just always
clutch and reliable. So I like the wide receiver room
that they've put together. Yeah, because of not just the
overall body type, but the different ways that Josh can

(41:02):
manipulate the ball and pass to get at those guys
in the red zone.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
And you know what's cool, You know the you showed
that one of Keon and kind of how he dropped
it into the bucket to him. Yeah, and I'll say
when I watched, so, this was really cool, this completion
from Alan to Palmer, they were I got lost. I
was looking at the back of the stanzad to be like,
can you see me? From him and Palmer were talking

(41:26):
about this a bunch on these kind of like fade
balls in the low red zone, and Palmer was talking
about how he's going to stem the route the timing.
Alan was kind of talking to him about the kind
of like how he was going to declare what he
was doing and what Alan is looking for on his end,
and then Palmer literally like showed exactly how he was

(41:50):
going to put his hands and where he wants the ball,
and then Alan dropped it right into that spot literally
on the next play this one too. Yeah, it was beautiful. Yeah,
and they have something similar like this after practice too.

Speaker 3 (42:02):
Oh. I saw that little conversation that had after right.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:05):
So, and it's funny.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
It's like you hear I have the volume down, but
you hear someone go oh and because the guy fell
down on the realist in the I mean, it's just
a coach or whatever. But again, the technique, the professional
the wide receiver. Here, watch Palmer as he releases and
that guy tries kind of getting his hands on him.
You see him kind of smack that hand away, and
that's actually what causes him to fall. And that's why

(42:28):
we talked about Palmer being a pros pro and so
good at creating separation. Yeah, it's against the coach here,
but that little technique, the hand usage at the line
of streamage got him open, caused that guy to fall.
And then you see the rapport that's building between Allen
and Palmer, and then just the hand eye of Palmer
looking it in getting those feet down.

Speaker 3 (42:48):
He made it look easy. Again, it's day one.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
But again the different types of throws, that's courtesy of
Matt Bober that video there, and then here's the one
to Coleman I talked about it having the different types
of players to throw to. Okay, now you want to
go more back shoulder and catch it that way. So
it gives Josh options not just size wise, but the
catch radius, how they like to catch it, where the

(43:11):
ball needs to be placed, the velocity he can throw out,
he can pull the string a little bit. More or
you can throw it flat and out towards the.

Speaker 3 (43:18):
Back of the end zone.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
For Palmer, I love the options that Josh has when
we're talking receivers, not just size but skill.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
Yeah, I you know, it's I think they kind of
cater to us a little bit. We've talked for years
about kind of the basketball lineup piece. I know we
both like a little more speed or verticality present at
the top potentially of the depth chart or more like
the true ax element. But they really kind of put
it put together a varied room in a good room,
especially considering this is a run first type of offense

(43:47):
and the run is so important and like my the
separation is very important in terms of this wide receiver
room and who's gonna win. And I do think, you know,
who wins downfield will be important. But I was That's
why so much of the receiver piece I was looking for, like, oh,
who's gonna fill the mac Collins role? And because of
the run aspect and what they have and Palmer in
that video you talk you showed and talked about now

(44:09):
and then you have my tweet pulled up here. Yeah, man,
like everything for Palmer, whether it was you know, working
with Alan and catching actual like live passes from the
QBS or just an individual you see like what you
see on tape or what we saw on tape, and
why we talk about why we liked him, like the deception,
the purposeful movement, and what he does in his releases

(44:30):
and stems. You see that on like every rep, no
matter what he's doing. You just see the footwork, the
shoulder movement, the reducing of the surface area, and the
body language like it even if he's against air, you
see him doing it repeatedly and repeatedly, yes, and then
it translates right to actual live bullets to a degree,

(44:54):
you know, against the defense. And yeah, it was really
cool to see. And I don't know how how much
Keenan Allen rubbed off rubbed off on him when he was,
you know, with the chargers, but Keenan Allen was one
of the best route runners that like we've seen in
our time so from a lease standpoint, and it's just
so cool to see Palmer operate in some of those
shades like he had really polished in terms of a

(45:16):
mover at all three phases, release, stem and break like
just a really good job right on display from the
beginning of practice all the way through the end.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
And the other piece about the offense and what they
did today in the red zone. You said in a tweet,
a good chunk of play action from the Bills offense
to start a camp, which is would be a welcome
edition with how devastating the run game is. That it's
a very nice compliment and marriage of the run in
the past game. But last year they were towards the
bottom of the league in play action rate. It's something
that we always wanted to We always talk about, hey,
bump it up ten percent or more, like they have

(45:47):
the room to do that, especially with how I think
defenses are going to start to come down even more
to stop that run game and make them more one dimensional,
which is very difficult to do with such a good
offensive line in Buffalo. So talk about you know, that
context today at practice, their ability and what they were
doing to when it came to play action stuff on
day one.

Speaker 1 (46:07):
I'm so happy that I was. I was writing the tweet,
they were twenty seventh literally at eighteen percent, So I
feel so happy with myself for again, I couldn't remember
that number. Yeah, it was cool to see, you know,
early on and even mixed in you know, as they
went forward. You know, if we're talking about what I
said earlier, kind of like sixty forty or sixty five
thirty five pass versus run, I would say about thirty

(46:32):
to forty percent of those passes had some play action,
some kind of play action element to it. Especially early on,
they were really working in, you know, some fake tosses,
some general like under center play action. That's also a
good element actually mentioned too, like a lot of play
action came from under center. We saw a good chunk
of those I always forget who calls it, what the
speed boot or the front side naked.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
Oh yeah, we saw the red zone play where they
ad to get the running back to the front of
the end zone.

Speaker 1 (46:58):
But what was interesting is, and I don't know if
this is because the defense was picking up on it
or not, they were almost using the running back as
more of a decoy than they were like the primary option.
Like they were trying to get him to pull so
that they could hit some like a drag coming from
the backside or a little stick on that front side.
After yeah, and a couple of times where Allan just
hit it right away, But then the defense adjusted, and

(47:20):
you know, it seems some of the man coverage elements
of the defense was interesting too, because they're closing down
on that right away. A couple of times that play
didn't work because the defense blitzed cam Lewis on one
comes to mind, he blitzed right off of it was
a condensed look and he blitzed right you know, off
the edge because it was condensed but essentially from the slot.
Would it had Allen Well, I don't know if he's

(47:41):
gonna have Allen dead to rights because it's hard to
have Josh Allen dead to rights, but he got pressure
almost right away. Yeah, it was nice to see that
play action element. This is you know, we talked about
it like there's there's not a lot of places for
the offense to improve with how good they were last year,
you know, schematically and statistically and from a metrics standpoint
advanced raw, but play action is like a low hanging fruit.

(48:03):
And again there's not a lot of places they went wrong,
but it's criminal that they were that low with how good. Yeah,
their running game is, and it just seems like such
an easy access way to improve and maybe create some
chunk plays or some explosives.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
Yeah, it's a way for you know, the receiving group. Also,
everyone talks about how they lack separation. Well this is
one way you help create separation too. And you put
Josh on the perimeter of the defense that'll run pass
option where he could run or throw it like that
just seems like a no brainer. If they add some
more of that boot stuff or like half boot stuff

(48:37):
that is obviously like taken over the league the last
few years because of the mcveigh's and Shanahan's, But I
think that is something they can obviously improve on and
do a better job at. And that'll help their wide receivers.
That will help their tight ends get open and get
open with some room post catch to run and make
some big plays that you said to swing the field

(48:59):
in favor of the offense. One thing I want to
talk about flipping sides back to the defense was again
red zone condensed area of the field, things happen a
lot faster. Yes, even with you know, just helmets on
and no pads. It is geared more for the defense
to win. And it sounds like that was pretty you know,
typically the case on day one, but afterwards Trel Bernard

(49:22):
who you know is my guy. Like anytime I anytime
he appears on something, I'm glued in because the guy
gives you so many good nuggets.

Speaker 3 (49:31):
He tells it how it is and he does it.

Speaker 2 (49:32):
He's so good at verbally getting it out there and
honestly teaching. He taught us like in the film room
this past summer. But he appeared on one Bills Live
After and there's two clips that I pulled for for
this show. I want you guys listen. Thanks to Chris
Brown Steve Paster. They asked some great questions of Treel
Bernard listening to the style of defense that McDermott told

(49:55):
the team he wants this year.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
Different.

Speaker 4 (50:03):
Every team's different, and he seems to be one of
those guys that keeps it kind of fresh for sure.
You know what's his message? Yeah, I think you know.
We we had a meeting last night and then another
meeting this morning, and you know, he he wants us
to be just a nasty, physical, aggressive defense and then

(50:24):
overall as a team, you know, he just wants he
wants us to do things the right way, do things
how we're supposed to do it, and follow our process.
We know, we know what we have to do. We
know the work that it takes, the amount of effort
and energy and the low that it is, and as
long as we're doing that every single day, we can
live with the result. We're focused on every single day,
coming in doing our job, focused on the process and

(50:45):
what we need to do to get better, and you know,
the result will take care of itself.

Speaker 3 (50:49):
Nasty, more havoc andre and aggressive. Okay.

Speaker 2 (50:54):
In years past it always like, hey, sound defense, focused, fast,
physic goal sure, but aggressive. You didn't really hear that
type of descriptor and prior years. And so it's got
me thinking obviously in line with what we've wanted from
the defense. This you know, we talked about all off season,

(51:15):
But the way I'm thinking about now is like, what
a great compliment that style would be, you know, to
to see and pair with the Bills offense and if
you're playing you know, physical and aggressive with all the talent.
Think about the talent they added in the draft, how
they made a concerted effort to get bigger guys like

(51:38):
Dion Walker, Landon Jackson. The bigger guys they've always had,
longer type players, bigger relative to the to the league
type players. But these are big, strong and athletic guys
that have length.

Speaker 3 (51:51):
And have motors.

Speaker 2 (51:53):
There are more, there are a tack oriented guys, so
bigger guys, but attack oriented. To me, that little comment
that Bernard talked about how the night before McDermott laid
out the goal, laid out the philosophy of the defense.
I am so excited to pair that with the Bills offense.
But I'm also so excited to see how that unfolds
this year.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
Yeah, today was a I think potentially a small bread
crumb towards what you and I have been clamoring for
a little bit. We got some more main coverage. We
got some you know, whether it was true man or
like match stuff. They had a really nice and it
makes me think of they Normally they kind of check
out of it and go more to his own.

Speaker 4 (52:34):
But it was.

Speaker 1 (52:36):
Two by two they motion I forget who they Oh, man,
it was Palmer. I think they motioned him across the formation. No,
it was Shavers they but Shavers was getting some work
with the ones. They motioned Shavers across the formation and
it turns into a tight trips bunch and so it
ends up being tearing at the Nickel Hairstin at outside corner,
and then Benford traveled across the Shavers and as Benford's

(52:58):
coming across, he's barking stuff out, tearing changes what he does.
He communicates to Hairston, Harriston relays something to Rap and
then on the snap bang they switch everything off, they
lock everything down, and it's beautiful and we saw so
we saw, we saw good man reps, we saw good
match stuff from them. So I get decent chunk of
blitzing as well. And you know, whether it was you know,

(53:20):
run blitzes or just that ended up you know, turning
into blitzes in general because it ended up being play
action or past. I do think there was a bit
of a more if we're defining aggression by more man
coverage and more blitzing, we saw more of that early
on today. We'll see if that continues to live when
you're not just playing red zone and don't have that
to you.

Speaker 2 (53:40):
But that play breakdown it falls right in line with
this next clip that Terrell talked about. It's one hundred
percent what he said they focused on today. You know,
when you're in the red zone, you're gonna be playing
more man coverage, you don't want guys just running around foolishly. Well,
the offense knows that, so they try to throw eye
candy in motion and shifts and different personnel groupings to
confuse the defense. And he's talked about here, how you

(54:04):
know with all that going on, they have to have
certain checks and it sounds like you just described the play.
They had a certain coverage call, but because of the
movement and they kind of backed out of it all book,
So listen to Treel Bernard again. This is from One
Bill's Live. They did a great job today talking with Trail.
He talks about this red zone, this red zone segment.

Speaker 4 (54:22):
Yeah, it was a good day, you know, all red
zone work. You know, we had some some past breakups.
I think Christian Benford.

Speaker 3 (54:30):
Had a great day, best guy in the field.

Speaker 4 (54:33):
He had four or five pass breakups. You know, we
had a we had a good day on defense. I
feel like, you know, we was able to knock the
rust off a little bit. There's so much happening in
the red zone. It happened so fast. There's a lot
of man a lot of man stuff that we're trying
to get done, and then also a lot of checks
that you know, we need to make based on situation formation,
that type of stuff. So to be able to do
that come out here on the first day and execute

(54:54):
at a at a pretty high level. It was a
It was a good start.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
Christian yourself, so super It sounds just like what you're
talking about. So again, you're gonna have play calls. Yeah
we're straight man coverage and yeah, then a certain motion
happens and it's gonna screw up the man coverage responsibilities
or give leverage to the offense. And they know this
going in, so they got to have a check for it.

(55:17):
And it sounds like that is something that they were
working on. That was something that that's something we've always
loved about twelve Bernard he is he he is the
guy when it comes to setting things the air traffic
controller as you're showing us right now, he is the
guy that is in charge of all of that and
recognizing that on the fly and there's no there's like

(55:39):
it can only be you can't be slow in the
red zone. It happens so fast and a lot of
times those motions are motions at the snap. So the
number one wide receiver to the top of the screen,
all of a sudden becomes the number three to the bottom,
and it happens at the snap and you have to
process quickly. So the defense needs these checks and audibles.
And it sounded like Bernard and the defense were ready

(56:02):
for this and they were all over it. And so
if you're combining you know, the fast, the physical, the
aggressive with the mental stuff shoulders from the shoulders up,
and having guys like Bernard verbalize that on shows after
the practice, that got me excited.

Speaker 1 (56:18):
Man.

Speaker 3 (56:18):
Of course, you know again, I'm biased.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
I love linebackers, and I love watching this guy play,
and I absolutely love listening to him talk football. But
I thought that was very enlightening the couple of minutes
that he had on one Bill's Up after practice.

Speaker 1 (56:32):
Yeah. Great, polls, that's awesome, I had no, I Yeah,
that's super cool. Yeah. They I think that, you know,
kind of tying it into something I mentioned in the
beginning with like the vibe check. I think part of
the reason why the defense was so amped up was
because they were checking and adjusting and they were doing
it correctly, like their post snap execution. We I think

(56:54):
it was I think it was camp last year, maybe
the year before. One of the days we were there
early to other and there was just a lot of
blown coverages. I know, I think it was last year.
Last year when we were there on that first Sunday together,
like day three or day four whatever, there was a
lot of blown coverages and we were like, well, you know,
Babbage and things are getting new. They're maybe testing them
some things out and seeing from there. But this year

(57:14):
it was just if they were making an adjustment pre snap,
it translated post snap. And to your point, there was
so many like whether it was a true motion or
it was a shift, so all of a sudden, you know,
that tight trip's bunch becomes more of an exploded type
of look, or a three by one becomes a two
by two, or someone's just jetting right across on the snap,
but he's not gonna stop, and we're gonna snap it

(57:36):
while he's still running and we're trying to create that
horizontal leverage. There was so much to kind of stress
and test the Bills defense in camp today, and like
Bernard said, they responded really well, and especially from a
you know, actual like manning up and matching standpoint, not
just like well we're playing cover two, okay, so let's
take our outside corner widening him out a little bit,
and okay, we can adjust that way them being able

(57:58):
to do it on the floor and the heat of
the moment in point two five to a half a second,
with all these shifts and motions, I think it's part
of the reason why they were so excited when they
were consistently winning. And also to like you could see
when they would coach up somebody, if the Dolphins had
something they blew a coverage one of those two times,
or somebody caught a ball, you would see kind of
Bernard and wrap kind of gather, you know, Bishop or

(58:21):
Hairstin or Milano, and they talk to one another, and
then the next time they'd shut it down and they
dap the hell out of each other like yeah, like
we just fixed that boom. Like I think that's part
of why they were so excited because of the mental testing.
They performed very well, all.

Speaker 2 (58:34):
Right, to kind of close out the show, let's get
the rookie raidar or we had a lot of people asking, oh,
I'm sorry, no, no, no, we can't. Almost skipped and
gloss over Christian Benford, Christian Benford, and then we're gonna
get to the rookies real quick. So with all that said,
again you heard them working on man coverage in the
red zone and certain things like that being aggressive. Christian

(58:55):
Bedford obvious stood out everyone. Everyone talked about it. You
heard Terrell talk about it.

Speaker 1 (58:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (59:00):
What's exciting about him is now like that he's earned
the respect of one his teammates, but also this staff
obviously given him in the contract his ability along with
that trust. It makes me think are they going to
be able to unlock some things that they haven't been

(59:20):
able to do since when Trey was at the height of.

Speaker 1 (59:24):
His career where.

Speaker 2 (59:26):
I know you talked about he was primarily locked on
the left side. But again given the situation context of today,
that makes sense. But there may be times this year,
especially if they up their man coverage, where he shadows. Yeah,
and I think he has the ability and more so
the trust of this staff to do that. So talk
about Christian Benford. Now's your time to unload his practice.

(59:48):
Everyone has been talking and wanted to hear about it.
So what were your thoughts on Benford and what he
brought to the field on the first day?

Speaker 1 (59:54):
Just legitimate lockdown CB one type of day from Benford
and camp. He so first couple of targets that went
his way again, I would say he had about nine
targets on the day. Not one of them were complete.
The closest to that came to be completing one or
completed one was the Davidson, but Davidson pushed off two.

(01:00:17):
It was a ball to Keyon Coleman along the back line,
but it was low in a way because Benford was
right there and Keon was unable to bring it. In
the first two targets that went his way, he was
just there was no airspace, there was no window. And
when that happened, I just started focusing on him more
to see what was going on. Snapped a snap even

(01:00:37):
when he wasn't getting targeted, and the man coverage pieces
just in phase, good hand usage, good footwork, getting in
and out of his turns. If guys are breaking, he's
right there. The angles that he's taking, like really hand
on hip watching the hip type of stuff where he's
right there in phase then zone. Even something as simple
as you know one of the reps, they they leak

(01:00:58):
out Cook, they swing him out and then they run
a hitch from the number one and the Bills are
playing cover two. Well, I don't know the whole coverage.
Benford was a cloud corner to that side, so it
could have been Cover six. But at the end of
the day, he's a cloud corner to that far side.
And the way he played it like Alan had trouble
figuring out if he wanted to hit the hitch or
if he wanted to hit the swing because Benford just

(01:01:19):
spaced it out so well. Alan ends up checking it
down to the swing and Benford closes right away bank
and pops them well pop as much as you can
without pads. Just his spatial awareness is zone end zone,
was there, passing off, collecting, reading the route distribution, the
man coverage elements. He traveled across the field on one
On that one man coverage piece, they communicated like I
talked about, he locks his man down. He had one

(01:01:39):
on Shakir where Shakir Shakiro was actually the one outside
and Shakiir runs almost kind of like a fake dig,
like almost like a deep deep whip where he sells
like he's running to dig in the middle of the
end zone, pops it back out and goes along the
back line, and Benford is with them in lockstep. The
whole way Alan tries to put on him, Benford reaches

(01:02:01):
out incomplete. He this was against Shakir Coleman, Palmer, the
tight ends, just a variety of guys. He kept getting targeted,
he kept shutting him down. It was It was just
a very impressive display, especially considering there were no pads
on and he didn't get to do the thing that
he's arguably best at, which is being a forced player
against the run and coming up and tackling. This was

(01:02:23):
pure coverage again, red zone only, but he succeeded against
whoever was on his side, almost to the point of
like you were looking in and being like, oh, all right,
don't throw at forty seven, Like that's the type of
day that he had.

Speaker 3 (01:02:35):
It was, that's awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:02:37):
He if someone was going to complete something on him,
the really way to put it is like this, if
a completion was going to happen against him, it was
because the quarterback made a perfect throw or the receiver
made an amazing catch. You were either having to extend
high or extend low, or the typical throw it only
where my guy can get exact. Benford was in phase
everywhere and around the ball. It was just tremendous.

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
That's good to hear, and like I said, that that
really opens up the possibilities for the Bills to do defense,
do things on defense that they haven't really done almost ever.
I'd say they there were times when Trey was at
the height of his career, they would shadow him and
put him on the best receiver at times, not week
in and week out, but certain games, certain high leverage situations.

Speaker 3 (01:03:21):
Actly, Trey was that that shadow guy.

Speaker 2 (01:03:23):
And I think they can start to do that with Benford,
especially if you're talking about again a little shift from
you know, a little less zone, a little more man
coverage in some of those high leverage situations. I think
he can be an asset if they use if they
choose to.

Speaker 3 (01:03:36):
Use him that way.

Speaker 2 (01:03:37):
He's that good, They trust him that much, and he's
got the skill set to carry out any of the
coverages from any type of alignment man, zone, press, jam,
press off. He can do it all. And so that's
good to hear that. He had a great first day
and so.

Speaker 1 (01:03:52):
Re real quick on it. I know we it happened
after we went last week. I know national rankings and
how you know players or you know the he looks
at certain guys. I think it's so crazy that he
didn't even get like a vote, like I thought he
would be an honorable mention or at least get like
he didn't even get a vote like that to me

(01:04:14):
is crazy. I've had people in disguy's curbag yelling at
me because I say he's not a top five like lock.
He might be after the date he had today, but
I'm like, oh wait, I think he's around the top
ten for sure. Not getting a single vote on that
list from anybody across the league is legit Like I
was legitimately like like, I'm sure, yeah, crazy, Let's just

(01:04:36):
add that to the chip. I hope they put that
on the bulletin boarder like, Yo, Bedford, you saw this,
Like check this out. The league thinks you suck.

Speaker 2 (01:04:44):
Prior to the practice, though, McDermott was asked about the
D line and some of the guys managing some of
the guys that are not going to be there because
of suspensions, and a quote stood out to me from
him to kind of close out this, and we're talking
about rookies, especially in younger guys, he said, we'll be
challenged depth wise early in the season, have to get
our young guys ready to go. But we all know

(01:05:06):
mcderman doesn't like playing young guys, but so.

Speaker 1 (01:05:09):
Didn't definitely didn't play Christian Benford as a rookie.

Speaker 2 (01:05:11):
No, No, of course, not so guys like TJ. Sanders,
guys like Dion Walker, some of this draft class. Uh
what what type of day did those guys have? Did
any of those guys flash catch your eye?

Speaker 3 (01:05:23):
Again?

Speaker 2 (01:05:23):
It's you're trying to take in a lot in this
short amount of time. But did those two.

Speaker 3 (01:05:28):
Guys along the D line anyone.

Speaker 2 (01:05:30):
There really flash with Again, Michael Hoyt was out there,
Ogunjoby was as well, So I understand that kind of
takes some reps away from these younger guys, But did
any of those guys flash and catch your eye?

Speaker 1 (01:05:42):
You know? I I don't know if it was because
of how much like running was happening. I feel like
every time I watched for Sanders, a run play happened
and he got lost. Not in a negative way, but
I just I couldn't see him. And yeah, they were success. Yeah,
so that both those guys are on kind of my
watch for tomorrow, especially Sanders, mainly because I saw a

(01:06:04):
couple of tweets from some folks who are saying, like
Sanders the stock was rising and he had I not again,
I can't watch everything. I didn't see him flash too
much today, so maybe I'm wrong. There were some pressure
moments on the quarterbacks today that I was focused more
on the coverage than I was on who was getting
the pressure up front. So it's the possibility that Sanders

(01:06:24):
was involved in that. I will say though, just from
a movement perspective, what you and I saw on tape
and loved to South Carolina man like the pop, the
jolt to his game, like in drills or even the
team forbid. You watch that first step or you watch
that suddenness. It's very readily apparent in his game and
how he moves. And I don't know, and this isn't

(01:06:49):
I mean, you know, worth its weight in gold or whatever.
Take away a grain of salt. I feel like he's bigger.
I feel like TJ. Sanders is bigger than Larry Ogunjoby.
LARRYO Ogunjoby looked a lot smaller than I thought Larry
oguin Jobi was gonna look like.

Speaker 2 (01:07:01):
I mean, he did gain weight to play in Pittsburgh's Yeah,
thinking of if you go look at like the Browns
footage from years ago, he was he was a lot lighter.
So playing it based d N in a three four
type scheme, you're doing a lot of two gapping, and
so he boked up and so I imagine he lost

(01:07:22):
way and they probably wanted to that's what the Bills do.

Speaker 1 (01:07:25):
Yeah, yeah, so yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
I saw Maddy Glab post that there were several pressures
and sacks by the D line and she mentioned TJ.
Sanders and Solomon had multiple.

Speaker 1 (01:07:37):
Solomon had a good day. Solomon looked good, like a
lot of flexibility off the edge, really good hand usage
like uh, not necessarily a cross chop, but like really
good like hooking, hooking the outside arm of a tackle
and using that to pull himself through. Very fluid.

Speaker 3 (01:07:53):
Yeah, his hands are fluid.

Speaker 1 (01:07:54):
He looked good, He moved well today. He had a
good day.

Speaker 2 (01:07:57):
Good to hear, all right, So close out, I think
I think we know that Benford was definitely a stock up,
but or any other players that maybe you didn't manage
mentioned or you really want to just highlight, uh you
know whose stock was up and maybe that not necessarily
that you're concerned or you need to watch going forward
because maybe what you heard around you or saw on
the internet that maybe their stock was down a little

(01:08:19):
bit and you need to start paying attention to them
on the next practice.

Speaker 1 (01:08:24):
Uh, it starts with Sanders because I want to see,
you know, what some of the hubbubb was about and
if if I potentially missed that. I think James Cook
had a good day today. He looked good in individual,
we look good in team. The movement is.

Speaker 3 (01:08:37):
There to him, he was there and he was participating.
That's dope.

Speaker 1 (01:08:40):
Right off rip they separated, Yeah, they separated for for
the first segment, and the way everything kind of they
were doing some special team stuff and the way it
shook out, it ended up just being him and Dalton
Kincaid like working together and they were catching passes from
Boris and doing different things. So yeah, he practiced the
whole day, full practice, individual, team, everything. Uh, he had
a day. He looked good, moving really well. I think

(01:09:03):
the size from last year is still readily apparent, and
he didn't again sacrifice any juice or anything like that.
I want to keep an eye on, you know, some
of the second UH string linebackers. I noted, you know,
Joe Andreeson was running with the twos or Dorian Williams.
Dorrian Williams also had I wanted to reach out to
Kyle about this from uh banged up mister banged up Bills.

(01:09:24):
Dorian had a rap or a brace on his left
knee that.

Speaker 3 (01:09:30):
I don't remember seeing.

Speaker 1 (01:09:31):
I was it was interesting seeing that. I was like, oh,
it didn't seem to be restricting him or be a
problem for him in any way, shape or form. But
kind of taking a peek at the second string line.
There were a couple times where the Bills offense went
big and the Bills took out Taran and put Dorian
in there, similar kind of what we saw at the playoffs,
so it was Dorian, you know, Bernard and Milano in there.
From that perspective, and then I want to I want

(01:09:53):
to keep watching more of the backup O line and
kind of seeing especially with you know, s VPG being
out and Brown being banged up, like seeing how much
of the deaf guys kind of funnel in and function.
There's just so much to watch the time. And then
because like I'm by myself, I feel like I have
to like look everywhere. It's not like I can be like, Yo,
what are you watching for? And you're like, oh, I'm
doing this. I'm like, all right, cool over here. That yeah,

(01:10:15):
there's a there's so much so I have to take
stock tonight and then reshift for tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (01:10:20):
That's awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:10:21):
Man. Hey, I'm jealous that you. You know, you're out
there and you get to get to go to practices.
I'll be coming into town for next week. I'm gonna
come to the August thirty first practice and then the scrimmage.

Speaker 3 (01:10:34):
But you know, I can't wait for that. Obviously.

Speaker 2 (01:10:36):
It's it's fun to come home see the family and friends,
but also kind of wrap up and wrap myself into
camp and getting involved there. So I'm excited about that.
But yeah, man, great job today. It's always fun to
follow along your tweets or in posts on next because
you speak our language, right, you speak our language, and
so while some media personnel might not get what you're

(01:10:58):
trying to talk about here in the film room, everyone
that joins us in the film room each and every
week we speak of the language, and so it was
fun to follow you today.

Speaker 3 (01:11:08):
So great job, managers. Are you going to practice tomorrow?

Speaker 1 (01:11:11):
I am. I am going back tomorrow. And but have
another long day in a good way. I've been doing that,
so yeah, I am. I'm going back tomorrow and then
I'm also aiming to go Sunday as well. So I'm
excited to potentially hit three out of the first four.
And yeah, I'll just keep it rolling. Thank you for
the kind words on the tweets. I I appreciate trying to, yeah,

(01:11:31):
speak the language and put more contacts and scheme and
structure into things than the general kind of surface level
stuff that we get until somebody yells at me or
us for giving away all the secrets. Yes, all the secrets.

Speaker 3 (01:11:43):
It's all right, HBO has it now.

Speaker 1 (01:11:44):
Yeah, right, I can't wait for something. Yeah, I'm waiting
for that first one to be like I can't believe
HBO showed.

Speaker 3 (01:11:49):
This and I love it.

Speaker 2 (01:11:50):
And they're gonna show like some kind of play or
some something that happened at practice and we're just gonna
break it down and we're gonna love every minute of
it because we're giving away secrets.

Speaker 1 (01:11:59):
Yeah, I'm waiting for everything. Or even like someone you know,
coach so and so is the having a conversation with
some player, but like on the whiteboard behind him is
like a play or a pagram or a draw, and
we just freeze, frame it and die and dissect what
we think it's gonna be. Yeah, it's gonna Oh man,
it's good. It's good to have football back.

Speaker 3 (01:12:17):
Yeah, I agree. I agree, man, that's awesome. Though.

Speaker 2 (01:12:20):
Thanks everyone for joining us on today's show. That was
a lot of fun. We definitely got, uh gotta thank
you know, the Matt Boveys of the world, Alex Braski's
for getting some footage that we could augment the film
room today when we know that yes, HBO is allowed
to tape, but more times than not, we as fans
are not. But we appreciate everyone pitching in uh to

(01:12:42):
kind of augment our show because this is the film room,
and so we try to dive into some of that stuff,
whether it's just a single of a one on one
rep talking technique like you saw with Josh Palmer, the
hand usage, the hand eye coordination, or just talking scheme
stuff like all the play action they ran today. The
man coverage checks that Bernard broke out and talked about
on One Bill's Live. So be sure to comment in

(01:13:04):

Anthony to pay attention to at the next practices, but
also what you want us to cover and touch upon
during these episodes.

Greg Russo term so I feel like I'm not drinking
out of a fire hose. So yeah, questions, thoughts, comments, concerns,
focuses for tomorrow or anything going forward, or if there's
something that you know we didn't answer that you know

man behind the scenes, mister Joe DeRosa, for sincerely making
a lot of this possible. I know you might sit

(01:16:05):
there and say like, yeah, but you guys been doing
the show for years. We have to do a lot
more without having a producer like Joe behind the scenes,
especially when we get to end season, especially considering we
both have day jobs and that are doing this like
it takes a lot to put these episodes together. So
major thank you again to mister Joda Rosa for helping
us get on board. Also, if you guys have not

(01:16:25):
you know we mentioned it last week or you haven't
already check out turf to tape. Yeah, new show we
have yeah coming to the channel, or if you want
to talk about that for a little bit with you
and mister Selcipaccio.

Speaker 2 (01:16:34):
Yeah, where we launched our first episode over the weekend.
We're gonna have another episode I think Saturday, probably Saturday morning,
Saturday afternoon. Again just trying to bridge a gap between
junkies like us but also the average fan, but also
add a little twist of hey, you got a media
credential person and the access he has and the stuff

(01:16:56):
he hears and sees with the access he has, and
then you have a film junkies that like to analyze
a little bit of everything. So it's a nice little
twist on that. And so that's been fun. It's been
received very well, and so if you guys are interested
that there's a playlist on the cover on YouTube channel,
but it's also available in audio format.

Speaker 3 (01:17:16):
It's all audio.

Speaker 2 (01:17:17):
There's no can't use film, you know, you can't use
stuff that we can do here with Sale and his
access and well, you know, being a credential reporter, so
it's a little more commentary. It's a little bit of
everything though. It's been fun and I'm excited this year.
Thin Man Brewery, if you guys are you know, like beers.
Thin Man Brewery is our sponsor for that show for

(01:17:38):
the entire year and they've been great already, and stay
tuned for stuff we're gonna do with them because they're
gonna have a couple on site podcasts in Western New
York in the near future. So yeah, thanks for that
that plug there, and make sure to check it out, guys.

Speaker 1 (01:17:50):
Yeah, very cool stuff in a cool addition to the channel.
I was talking to Sale last week at Mafia Khan
and he was pumped about it because you guys were
doing it on that Sundays. Yeah, I mean, Eric are
doing this Tom. He was pump. It's cool to see
that come to life after being talked about for a
little bit. So check that out and anything and everything
having to do with Cover one. It's Wednesday night, so
