Brown on Tre & Strong

Chris Brown on the comptetition between Tre White and Dorian Strong

Transcript

00:00Chris, further in the secondary, Tredavious White, he and Dorian Strong kind of platoon a little bit there in the game.

00:06And the coaching staff said that was part of the plan.

00:08We wondered, you know, how they would start to handle young guy snaps and getting guys mixed in.

00:13And I wonder if that's a look at what might happen going forward, in part because of our updated timeline on Maxwell Hairston,

00:20where the Bills didn't want to rule anything out.

00:22So in the case that they need more playing time for Strong with Tredavious White out there,

00:27it'll be worth monitoring to see how they handle it going forward.

00:34Right. And it was still, you know, from what I saw on the snap count, heavily in favor of Tredavious as opposed to Strong.

00:41Whether that morphs and changes based on opponent and based on coverage and calls, we'll have to wait and see,

00:48since we only have a one-game sample right now.

00:52But to Dorian Strong's credit, I think he's playing good football in the practice setting.

00:57And we hear McDermott say it all the time.

00:59You earn the right to play just like you earn the right to win.

01:04And that's just their process, guys.

01:06We know this.

01:07So I think if somebody is playing better in practice and outplaying somebody else at their position,

01:15they're going to get time on the field.

01:17Now, I think there's an enormous amount of respect for Tredavious White,

01:20who I thought had a pretty good game yesterday, you know, made some plays, still good in the run front.

01:28So I think there's a balance there that the coaching staff is trying to strike.

01:34But it's very clear that Dorian Strong has impressed this coaching staff.

01:37And it doesn't matter, guys.

01:39We've seen it.

01:39Whether you're a first-round pick, a seventh-round pick, an undrafted free agent,

01:43if you demonstrate the capabilities to help this football team win football games,

01:47they will put you on the field.
