| 0:50.5 | I'm Robert Mays. |
| 0:51.6 | Joining me for this week's edition of In the Pocket, it is long time NFL |
| 0:55.9 | quarterback Chase Daniel. Chase, how you doing? Good, good, man. It's a, you know, I heard across |
| 1:01.5 | the country, the weather's sort of hit or miss and out here in sunny San Diego, usually, |
| 1:06.5 | you know, we're recording is 3.30 right now. And it is like pitch black, raining, like the world is ending type stuff. So it's a little bit different for us, San Diego's or whatever you want to call it. I guess I would consider myself a California now. But it's been a weird, weird weather day. So yeah, I'm ready to go though. Ready to talk. Talk ball. We are recording this a little bit later and it's dark right now at 5.30 p.m. in Chicago right now. So that's |
| 1:30.3 | why I'm a little bit thrown off because I'm used to recording this in the afternoon sunshine, |

| 2:04.6 | But I wanted to talk with you sort of about the nuts and bolts that may have led to this |
| 2:09.7 | or the nuts and bolts that maybe don't justify a move like this. |
| 2:13.7 | So just first and foremost, when this happened, when it came down, when you heard the news, |
| 2:19.0 | what was your initial reaction? Well, the initial reaction was a little bit of shock because |
| 2:23.7 | this just doesn't seem like a Buffalo Bills team that you like to make moves during the season. |
| 2:28.8 | And then all of a sudden, 10 games in, Leslie Fraser's not there who was their D-Corner last year, |
