Well we're now joined by a special guest the Buffalo Bills outside linebacker Danny batten Danny it's -- here on WGR hi you doing tonight. I'm doing great you know the last time I spoke to you was pretty much right after you were drafted. And you told me that you're not going to let the bills cut you. And let me get let me get the exact quote because that I've pulled it up my main asset that's -- Or a year ago my main -- how hard I've played my nonstop motor I love hitting people I'll go and hit people as they're falling to the ground if on the on the field as a defensive player and I'm not making a tackle I've failed on that play. -- still feel the same day. It's great to hear him and were seen it out of the field so far throughout training camp. And as someone who's been at training camp pretty much the whole time. It you know we've we've heard Chan Gailey -- last night that you played a hundred miles an hour. How important is that you want a day to day basis to show the coaching staff that you're never gonna wanna.
That's slow this simply Golden Globe. You don't call -- dvd to separate himself as far as effort and intensity and -- A lot harder thing to do in the National Football League and -- and recognition from that's so true actually. You know. You'll of the fire sister citizens are partly because you know recognition for -- You know it just -- or harder tokens you know that's that's how -- Drafted you know own. Effort and playing hard single and a -- and continue to get more what one digital books like.
Now Danny I know -- your drafted out of a small school last year or two years ago you know sixth rounder. All the like and -- you got shelved real early on with an injury how disappointing was that -- as a player as a competitor everything like that.
Oh I can't even regulatory agencies try to trying to explain it but. I didn't miss a -- this. On my entire football here you know I don't move because come you don't. Anything you know we have a deal that practice and go. You just the disappointment not only -- much so but that's -- you know. Came directly from and we -- fueled expectations. Though they expect being from owned. You know -- you look at just. You more than just one aspect -- you know could could -- an -- to see unfortunately it was so -- police there -- a web of on. A -- And you know it was I can't think to -- What Alex -- can can tell us. A cup so what are watching what you can and immediately exit control -- can easily. On the field so. --
And the one thing I noticed throughout last season covering the team. I I noticed you were I'll always with the guys I mean some guys go on IR you don't really see him anymore whether or not they're they're going off Korea and everything but a pretty much saw you there every day maybe every every week it. I mean how important was that to you personally just a bill that camaraderie with the guys and and try and get back and maybe even just work out as the season went off.
All of that that -- for the best decisions -- made on you know when we had to go to reserve and its failure given the choice. You don't abuse facility you know no longer usable SS for the troubled -- So are you know release you have to be you go get a couple in reserve went back to know when Coleman. In Mexico my -- and once. It was virtually certain to be in your rookie want to -- To system not a big thing I never missed meeting of the specialties and meeting or. So the big thing was you know. My goal in the -- colorectal. Coach but He -- coach. Dogs that's you can only do that to agree to a to create believed. Click off on culminating. Some industry and the defense so much so much better than I did you know there's so much more ahead of the curve is firewall will not to a garden. Company called a meeting to learn look at that question.
Now when you were rehabbing throughout the season I saw you without the -- like a little bit later on in the season. Where -- able to start working out as the season was still going on in and try to build up the strength there. Strength in the --
Yeah you know that's they healed up pretty quick and you know perpetrators stroke and the -- on the so called fashion called. -- fast recovery was common and sold just fortunate that aspect of that and I didn't pushing still -- a lot of time solo. Yeah I definitely those running. Running with the coach Campbell straight coach and -- working opens day and does. -- could get my body second to look into playing shape you know and once FiOS T been hit a lot of guys take that -- though that the bodies recovered but I had nothing to recover from Saudia. -- it worked so as soon as soon be upset at all went home for weaken and -- sort of -- after the first week in pretty much history all the way through until training camp.
Buffalo Bills outside linebacker Danny baton as my guest here on training camp tonight on WGR Sports Radio 550. Now Danny you know it is you have a lot of time between the time in which you rehab to to training camp this year. And satellite looks like you're you're a bit bigger idiot did you put on some weight in the off season and what kind of -- programs -- go through.
All oh yeah yeah I did I did -- obsolete and you're a workout with the world. My fiancee is it lives in the Minneapolis area so. I would have that same her own lawsuit and so school in -- So and directly guys can hook up with the little sister old straight up there -- you don't. Became independent and -- certain that He is so ward and has worked out so no. You know we got thirty -- forty -- that there's so or five days do we can't be so we'd be running in the morning with. -- all all the guys from around that area and in dog go worked out later in the day saw you know yeah I love. You're trying to get I would assure you know there's -- be playing inside. -- outside as close -- sure to keep my way and but -- feel you know until coupled with a bat and it would discontinue the key cannot let Cheney is been there are decreasing and slowly take the beltway at what is though the -- you're playing right now. I -- forties Rendell on current round narrowed to fifty is my -- so our. And that's so I can move and that that you could -- I've ever moved my electric this way you know and that's the key in coverage and your. Felix and you know. The goal against the run I don't like it -- around that. And -- that is taking part in. Your fired in the Oprah Oprah how order going to get called on the run in you know to be sure want to account -- Although what you took a play and you're sort of uncomfortable and help.
Yeah understandable Danny who now we're here in the here and now. You have a full training camp under your belt they had to feel good first and foremost but it how do you think you dead. I mean you know obviously Chan Gailey said what He said last night but. How do you think it went the rest of the time.
Oh yeah I think. Overall I think what will on this stuff with some aspect of -- in the need to work but you know what I can say that. All right so I you know I think what well I get a real good feel for the defense some. It's good feel for special teams which is going to be pretty and every year. And do we have very different things they can can really need to work on it and trade your everyday and make that point current. Point to work -- yeah I think you think overall the group and creepy to think.
Now that curse pre season game against the bears you had to be wrapped up by mean fully recover. Just just putting like a pretty much a year of frustration in that one game how do you think what.
It would do whipped -- the wheel well there's armed conflicts and things. You know you can condition all you want me offseason in -- conditioning training camp that's publicly and they gave it all and do you play alternative. So you know that is the point two you know it wasn't dying up there by any means but you know -- elected with -- of the -- clearly to be able. You know. Itself wanted to be a little bit better shape often I think you'll think they got -- that come with playing games send up. On the -- person -- that things need to work on that and I -- just go into the game but overall I think I think it would put pretty decent game -- and the other -- that's globally can build on it and you know. -- Ruin it work on and -- and single central up. You know I. It again.
Now I know you never wanna see a teammate and go out the door but the fact that the bills waved a pretty high profile guy -- Aaron Maybin. I mean He played the same position as viewed that must it must've made you think that they thought pretty highly of the it to to got a guy like that.
All we have a lot of young. Don't hold it outside linebacker is six and you know what to -- play in outside linebacker on. So yeah I didn't. You know I -- they -- Q if you in the mine on troubled where. Three didn't read too much into it this far is you know -- directly quote waiting to be you know I try not you can't Connecticut took so if you do. Of but yeah I you know hopefully that does mean that that's true faith and in no -- Antonio cold and remote He needs to play -- try and you know. So hopefully it. It is Croatia that it's so you go on to continue to play -- and get better the proof prove to work.
Well Danny best of luck to you on Saturday the Saturday the rest of the pre season and hopefully the regular season and not think so much for joining me here tonight. Have you -- right same here that was bills. Bills outside linebacker Danny -- here on WGR Sports Radio 550 special thanks today for.
