1
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field,

2
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: player for State. Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: the strated beer of normalcy here getting it tuned up

5
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: on a Tuesday, Chris Brown, Maddy blab here with you

6
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 1: from noon to three today, ready to talk all things

7
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: football because there never is an off season. The players

8
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: may not be here, but there's always plenty to talk

9
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: about and we will get into all of that in

10
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: due course. Maddie obviously in for Steve as he takes

11
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: a few days away doing some charity golf stuff. He's

12
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: got a rough life, man, he's got a rough life,

13
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: the life of a former player. Yeah. So while he

14
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: does that, Maddie joins me here today through Thursday, as

15
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: we head or roll into the July fourth weekend. Do

16
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: you have plans for July fourth or runny or no?

17
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: We have a bills couple that's getting married whoa on

18
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: July fourth weekend? How did they get that date? Is

19
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: delayed wedding, not a pandemic delayed wedding. How did they

20
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: get that date? They had to do a venue change? Wow,

21
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: because from what I've heard like getting dates is impossible.

22
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: Like if you just got engaged somewhere between January and April,

23
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: you're definitely not getting anything this year, and you may

24
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: not get anything until the end of next year. Because

25
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: all the people that had to delay their weddings from

26
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, they moved all they were, all their dates

27
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 1: are now there's nothing left. It's like, hey, you want

28
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: to get married on a Wednesday. They thankfully did it

29
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: a year out, so they got engaged a year out

30
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: and they had the year to plan, and of course

31
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: you're planning for this wedding, just like so many people

32
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: have had to do. And it's like, all right, we're

33
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: three months out. Are the restrictions going to get lifted? Okay,

34
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: we're X months out? Do we need to change the venue,

35
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: which they did because of restrictions at that time. They

36
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: didn't want to like, guess, all right, here's where we're

37
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: going to be out in July. It's all going to

38
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: be fine and dandy. They wanted to make sure it

39
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: was going to be okay, even with restrictions that currently

40
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: we're in place a couple of months ago or not currently,

41
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: but we're in place a couple of months ago, So yeah,

42
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: I got that going on from to celebrate. They are

43
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: fortunate because there's a lot of people that had to

44
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: jump through all kinds of hoops delay things. I have

45
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: people in my extended family they were supposed to get

46
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: married last October. Now it's this October, like they had

47
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: to move it back an entire year. So it has

48
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: been nuts. Not the time to be a wedding planner, No,

49
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: I had. I had a couple of friends that wedding

50
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: each wedding like three times over. Yeah. I had a

51
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: couple of friends that had to move their date four times,

52
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: and on the fourth time they just said, you know what,

53
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 1: We're not going to do it. We're just going to

54
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: do a small family wedding, which they had done previously.

55
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: They have to keep pushing their party, pushing their party.

56
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: They said, to heck with it. Yeah that's tough. I

57
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: feel for those I mean, you know, you're trying to

58
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: have the best day of your life, and you know

59
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: it keeps getting sidetracked by the pandemic. So yeah, after

60
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: I've moved to three times, I'd be like, forget it,

61
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: let's just do something small. If we want to do

62
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: something big later, we'll do something big later, or take

63
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: the money we're gonna spend on the wedding and roll

64
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 1: it into a monster honeymoon. Oh that sounds awesome, you

65
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I might as well just do that,

66
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: because it's just about you too. Anyway, other stuff that's

67
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: going on that we wanted to bring to light here.

68
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: I found this interesting, Maddie. There is a budding quarterback

69
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: controversy in New England. Apparently Mac Jones has been doing

70
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: pretty well through the course of Mini Camp enough to

71
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: convince the people they cover the Patriots on a regular

72
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: basis to surmise that there will be a full blown

73
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: quarterback competition come training camp and that it is not

74
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: Lockstock and Barrel Cam Newton's job week one. Now, Mike

75
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: Giardi from NFL Network, who's been on this show several times,

76
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: is reporting on NFL dot Com today that, in Cam

77
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: Newton's defense, he had a great final day of Mini

78
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: Camp with some consistency that nobody that covers the Patriots

79
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: had seen from him at any point in time all

80
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: through last year. So is the competition spurring him to

81
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: kind of recapture some of his past career exploits Because

82
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now. I was after watching him

83
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: play last year, Maddie, I was like, I don't know

84
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: if he can be a starter in this league. It

85
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: was sad. Bounce pass it was sad. I mean, he

86
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: looked like a point guard in the NBA, the way

87
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: the passes were bouncing into receivers more than he did

88
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: an NFL quarterback. And then I saw the first two

89
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: days at like OTAs when he was there, and he's airmailing.

90
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's routes on air. There are no defenders

91
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: in sight. Routes on airmat can't you can't do that,

92
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: and he's airmail and I'm just like, what has happened

93
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: to this guy? I mean, I kind of feel for

94
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: him a little bit, but I guess maybe he's starting

95
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: to get some of that back. He's gonna have to

96
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: get it all back, I think if he's gonna keep

97
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: mac Jones at Bay. I found one of the quotes

98
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:24,239
Speaker 1: in Mike Giardi's article really interesting. It was an offensive teammate,

99
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: that's all it was identified as. Because if these guys

100
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: talk and identify themselves, they get in trouble with Belichick.

101
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: But the offensive teammates said, mac Jones thinks like Josh

102
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: McDaniels the offensive coordinator more than Cam does. And don't

103
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: think that doesn't count for something, you know what I mean?

104
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: Because if you've got because what who coaches value you've

105
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,679
Speaker 1: been an athlete? What who coaches value more than anything else?

106
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: They want to know they can trust the player out

107
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: on the plane. You're an extension. I want to know

108
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: tension of the head coach. I want to know I

109
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: can trust you. And if mac Jones is on the

110
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: same wavelength as Josh McDaniels, and he can demonstrate a

111
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: level of execution even as a rookie that at least

112
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: comes close to what Cam Newton does, I think he's

113
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: got a chance to be the Week one starter. I

114
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: really do. I know we're a long way off from that.

115
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: And here's the only thing that concerns me, Manny, is

116
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: if he is the week one starter. I'm really disappointed

117
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: that the Bills don't see them until December. That makes

118
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: me so scared that we do not see them until December,

119
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: because they could have their stuff figured out by December.

120
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: It's going to take a few weeks, and I would

121
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: love to see them in those first four weeks. But

122
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: Steve and I got into this last week when you

123
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:57,679
Speaker 1: were out. Is look at their first four weeks Dolphins, Jets, Saints, Bucks.

124
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: Dolphins and Jets. Those are the perfect two tune up

125
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: games to start the season for someone like Mac Jones

126
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: to get in there and play. Then you get some

127
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: competition against the Saints and then the Bucks. No, not

128
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: at all. They're probably going to still be figuring out

129
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: with a quarterback situation at week three, Week four, you

130
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: have the Bucks, all right, got to figure it out.

131
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: Or maybe this is Mac Jones's true first tests. He's

132
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: had a great first three weeks as an NFL quarterback,

133
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: a rookie in the league comes into week four, this

134
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: is his first big test as a quarterback of the Patriots.

135
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: Sink or swim type of game. Yeah, it'll be interesting.

136
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: Or do they do they have cam go the first

137
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: four weeks and see how are we going to do

138
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: it with a guy who we might do it with

139
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: a guy who has been an NFL starter before, knows

140
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: this offense maybe a little bit better than a rookie.

141
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: The Jitters may not be there for him weeks one, two,

142
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: and three. Let's bring him in week five when we

143
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: play the Houston Texans. Who Yeah, there was a whole

144
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: big thing, a big ado about that, like, oh, they'll

145
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: just have camp start the first four games. They're not

146
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: going to have Mac Jones playing the Brady Bowl when

147
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: Brady comes back to New England with the Bucks and

148
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: the defending world champs. And I'm thinking to myself, that's

149
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: not how Belichick thinks. Though. If Belichick thinks the rookie

150
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: is going to give him a better chance to win,

151
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: no matter who they're playing, he's going to be in

152
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: the game. He's not worried about, oh, well, you can't

153
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: put the rookie in that situation. Who the hell cares?

154
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: Does he give us a better chance to win? Yes, Okay,

155
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: he's in, Like that's how he's gonna do it. And

156
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: some people are talking up there about how they may

157
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: shuffle them in and out based on situations in the game.

158
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: And that's what I'm thinking. They are two and they

159
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: couldn't be more diametrically opposed in terms of skill sets.

160
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 1: So to go from one to the other mid game

161
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: series to series, I don't see how that functions. The

162
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,599
Speaker 1: Tennessee football team did that this past season or the

163
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: last two years, and they were going back and forth

164
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: between a couple different quarterbacks and talking about the college

165
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: team college University of Tennessee. And yes, those guys are

166
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: collegiate athletes, so they don't have the mind maybe of

167
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: an NFL player yet and can't grasp an offense or

168
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: your skill players can't grasp two different offenses as quarterbacks

169
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: are rotating in and out of the field throughout a game.

170
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: But it was an absolute mess. They couldn't get in

171
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: a rhythm. People were getting confused. And I think you

172
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: could see much of the same if you decided to

173
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: do that with a rookie in the NFL and a

174
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: quarterback like Cam Newton who has struggled. Yes, they do

175
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: have the offensive weapons this year. They brought in some

176
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: really great wide receivers and some tight ends and they

177
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,599
Speaker 1: could probably figure it out. But I don't. Yeah, but

178
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: they're all new So if you're going back and forth one,

179
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: I don't see that work. I think that's the least likely.

180
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of all two systems on offense. Well, yeah,

181
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: and they would call it that, but you're gonna have

182
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: to run two very different play calling sheets off You're

183
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: gonna have to call plays off two very different sheets

184
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: with one guy in there than the other because you're

185
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: not running a run play with Mac Jones, you know,

186
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: quarterback option or something like that. And with Cam, I'm

187
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: probably not throwing deep and outside anywhere because he's not

188
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: going to hit it. So yeah, it's it's gonna be.

189
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say this. I'm glad this is the

190
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: issue somewhere else right and not here, because we've had

191
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: way too many training camps with quarterback competitions here in

192
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo over the years. So I am happy as a

193
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: clam that somebody else is dealing with that and not us,

194
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: especially from selfishly Maddie. You know, you cover training camp

195
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: and it's like, well this guy got this many reps

196
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: with this team and this guy, this guy completed this

197
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: many passes on this many attempts, and you know he

198
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: did this and he did that, and well this guy

199
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: probably had the better day. We don't have to deal

200
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: with it and taking crazy notes. You miss a pass,

201
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: you're like, wait, who was quarterback? Was that first string?

202
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: Second string offense was? Can you can you run that

203
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: back for me? Is that an inaccurate throw? Did he

204
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: get hit on that play? Yeah, we don't have to

205
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: worry about any of that. There was a really cute story,

206
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: not in the world of football, but in the world

207
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: of baseball, and I thought this was really cool. And

208
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: I am I am a Yankees fan. I'll just say

209
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: that to put it out there. I am terribly disappointed

210
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: in what they're putting on the field this year. They

211
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: are a mess, especially defensively. But that's another issue for

212
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: another day. The one place where the Yankees hit it

213
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: out of the park every single time is with their

214
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: relationship with the fan base. And it went another step

215
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: further this week because back in nineteen sixty one, a

216
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: young girl by the name of Gwen Goldman, ten year

217
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: old girl writes the Yankees in nineteen sixty one, tells

218
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: them she loves a team, wants to be their bad

219
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: girl as opposed to a bad boy. To be a

220
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: bad girl, work the dug out, you know, bring extra

221
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: balls out to the amps, the whole nine yards. She

222
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: gets a letter back from the Yankees in nineteen sixty

223
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: one that essentially said, and I want to get this right,

224
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: so I want to read this. The letter came from

225
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: then Yankees general manager Roy Haymy, who wrote back to

226
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: her and said, while we agree with you that girls

227
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: are certainly as capable as boys, and no doubt, would

228
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: be an attractive addition on the playing field. I am

229
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: sure you can understand that it is a game dominated

230
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: by men. A young lady such as yourself would feel

231
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,239
Speaker 1: out of place in a dugout. Welcome to the sixties,

232
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: Holy cow. So so fifty years or sixty years later?

233
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: To the debt? Am I doing my math right? No,

234
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: I'm not sixty sixty sixty year old? Sixty years later?

235
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: Sixty years later, the woman's daughter writes Brian Cashman, the

236
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: general manager of the Yankees, and explains the situation, and

237
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: so Brian Cashman tells her on Zoom. Some dreams take

238
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: longer than they should to be realized, but a goal

239
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: of tain should not dim with the passage of time.

240
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: I have a daughter myself, and it's my sincere hope

241
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: that every little girl will be given the opportunity to

242
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: follow her aspirations into the future. Would you like to

243
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: be our batgirl? Next week? So she comes to the stadium.

244
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: They got her name on a locker. She's wearing a jersey,

245
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: and you could just tell she is like over the moon,

246
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: over the moon, and she threw out the first pitch,

247
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: did the whole thing. I mean she was beaming, absolutely beaming.

248
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: I mean, she got a full uniform, she pulled the

249
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: jersey out of the locker. She's like, oh, it's like

250
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: she was ten years old all over again. It was

251
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: the cutest thing. Um. So good on the Yankees for

252
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: you know, I know they are one of the most

253
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: hated teams in baseball. You either love or you hate him.

254
00:13:55,120 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: These are some things that they get right almost one

255
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: hundred percent of the time. So good on them for

256
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: doing this. It was just great. It was It was

257
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: one of those feel good kind of stories. And as

258
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: you pointed out, Maddie, I gotta tell you, for a

259
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: seventy year old woman, I hope I'm moving that good.

260
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: So I just thought it was really cool. I just

261
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: wanted to throw that out there today because there was

262
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: a cool deal. It really was. So I don't think

263
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: she worked the whole game. She probably worked about half

264
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: the game. And I love how the bat boys like,

265
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: all right, now, you gotta bring these out here and

266
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: then you're gonna handle But it's like, I think she

267
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: could have handled that. By her day. He's like escorting

268
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: her around. She's a baseball fan. She knows how it works. Yeah,

269
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: but that was a really cool story. So I wanted

270
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: to mention that, Um, it's good that things like that,

271
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: you see things like that, especially after what we've all

272
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: had to deal with over the last year or so

273
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: with the pandemic and everything. I love those. It's like

274
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: that boost. It's like a shot in the arm that

275
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: everybody could use every once in a while. Uh. Want

276
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: to tell you what's coming up on the S Show today,

277
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: third hour of our program. We're gonna have NFL writer

278
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: for the Athletic Robert Mayze on with us. He has

279
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: some interesting articles that he's put up over the last

280
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. He does believe that the Bills have

281
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: one of the best rosters in the NFL. We'll discuss

282
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: that with him and find out why he feels that way.

283
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: He also feels that after free agency in the draft,

284
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: a couple of Buffalo's division rivals have improved the most

285
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: in his estimation. Now, where are the Jets coming from

286
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: the bottom? I mean, it's a lot easier to make

287
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: those kinds of improvements in one offseason. Then if you're

288
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: a really good team and you make incremental improvements, I'm

289
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: just saying this is true. We'll discuss all that with

290
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: Robert in the third hour of the show, so we

291
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: look forward to that conversation. We've had Robert on before

292
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: and he is great. But today the topic of discussion. Look,

293
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: we're in the Millie off season. The weather is fantastic.

294
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: We're just so good outside today. It's a little steamy,

295
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: it's a little humid. I am never going to complain

296
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: that it's too hot in Buffalo though. You will never

297
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: catch me complaining about warm weather, because this is my

298
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: favorite time of the year. But we said, you know what,

299
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: let's just have some fun with the show today. Let's

300
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: have a fun topic kind of walk, you know, down

301
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: memory lane a little bit with the team. So our

302
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: Twitter conversation today, what is the best Bills play you

303
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: have ever seen in person? So, whether you at a

304
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: road game, whether you're at a home game, you gotta

305
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: be there in person for this category here, we want

306
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: to know the best play you ever saw in person

307
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: by a Bill And you know, there's a long list.

308
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: I know people are going to have their favorites, but

309
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: eight oh three h five fifty one, eight eight five

310
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty to get on board, or you

311
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: can hit us up on the tweet sheet at One

312
00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: Bills Live as always, and there were some that immediately

313
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: came to mind for me, Mannie. I'm sure there were

314
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: some for you as well, But I'm really interested to

315
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: see where this goes, because I think there are different

316
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: ways you can choose best play. You know, it could

317
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: be some kind of superhuman thing that you didn't even

318
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: think some of these supreme athletes could pull off, and

319
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: they do. Where you're sitting there going what did I

320
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: just watch? How did he do that? Or it could

321
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: just be a very cleverly executed play that you thought

322
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: was super cool. So I'm wondering where the listeners and

323
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: the viewers on MSG and on w GR are going

324
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: to take this to see what they pick. I'm very

325
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 1: curious to see which way it goes, because I think

326
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: it can go any number of directions. What did you

327
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: think initially when you saw it, Like, did you say

328
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 1: to yourself like superhuman play or did you say give

329
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: me like a cool trick play where I said wow,

330
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: like literally got out of my seat. My mind was

331
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 1: going trick play or game or play that changed the

332
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: core of a game. Okay, game changer. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,

333
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: I hadn't thought of that's good. Okay, not that. Now

334
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: you're changing my whole way of thinking about this. I'm

335
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: gonna have to now, I'm gonna have to go back

336
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: to my list and see what I come up with.

337
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: But eight oh three five fifty one eight eight five

338
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty to jump on board and let

339
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: us know what you think, you feel is the best

Speaker 1: Bills play that you ever saw in person, either here

341
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,359

Speaker 1: Listen to me. Yeah, I'm gonna take you way back

351
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: to the old rock pile. I'm sorry, it's not it's

352
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: not Rich Stadium. As an eight year old youngster, I

353
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: was at the nineteen sixty four, those championship game against

354
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: the Chargers. Okay, and first of all, I spit at

355
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: Ernie Ladd as a kid, okay before the game, and

356
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: my uncle almost killed me. He was right behind me.

357
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: Everybody scruffling neck and drive me to my seat. Probably

358
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: not something you want to do. Well. I hated Earnie

359
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: Ladd first of all. Okay, And I saw Mike Stratton

360
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,239
Speaker 1: almost dismember Keith Lincoln in person. Yeah, they hit her

361
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: around the world. I'm not surprised. This one came out

362
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: the best places I've ever seen in those history. So

363
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: for those that don't know, um, Mike Stratton hits Keith

364
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: Lincoln on a swing pass and breaks his ribs because

365
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: he hits at him in half square in the mid

366
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: section and his whole body recoils in a way that

367
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 1: is not normal. And he he didn't play the rest

368
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: of the game, right, He didn't come back in the

369
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: game after that. Do you remember, for he was probably

370
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,239
Speaker 1: their best player too, Keith Lincoln, Yeah, he was one

371
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: of the Yeah, for sure, he's one of the best players. Yeah,

372
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: But I think he exited the game, did not return,

373
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: suffered broken ribs, and that was the end. Of it

374
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: for him, and it really set the tone for the game. Yeah,

375
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: really set the tone for the game. So a good

376
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: lead off, Frank, We appreciate that. Thanks very much for

377
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: the call. We'll move along and we'll go to Ryan

378
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: in Tonawanda. Next, Ryan, what do you have for us?

379
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: You're on One Bill's Live. How's it gone? And there's

380
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: a couple of players I wanted to mention. One of

381
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: them was Fred Jackson versus the Eagles had a really

382
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: big touchdown where he dove into the crowd and I

383
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: was in the fifth row. I can't remember the exact play.

384
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: So the one I'll mention, of course, is a recent

385
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: one where Jackson had an interception on the mar Oh

386
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: Teren Johnson, Karen Johnson, Johnson's arry. Yeah, that was just amazing. Yeah,

387
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: Maddie was there for that one. What are you surprised

388
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: that one came up earlier because that was what I

389
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: was thinking my mind too, so you know, great minds

390
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: think away. But that was like it, that was a

391
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: game changing play right there. We weren't up by too much.

392
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: You get your defense, put the defense on a back,

393
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 1: score a touchdown and I pick six from Taron Johnson.

394
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 1: I mean to see that in person. Was that the

395
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 1: divisional game, Divisional playoff. I my son and my wife

396
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: are fortunate enough to be among the sixty eight hundred

397
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: that were in the seats. And after I saw my

398
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: son the next morning, because that was a night game,

399
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: as you know, and you know night games. You and

400
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: I we work late. So I saw him the next

401
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 1: morning and I said, I hope you realize the significance

402
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: of this play in Bill's history and the fact that

403
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: years from now you're going to say I was one

404
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 1: of sixty eight hundred people in the stands that watched

405
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: it in person. I said, you may not realize it now,

406
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: you know, as a punky teenager, but when you're older,

407
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: you'll be really happy that you were in the stadium

408
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: to see that, because it's gonna go down as one

409
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: of the best plays in Bill's playoff history. I mean

410
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: it already. Is it already? Is? I mean? The only

411
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 1: thing that's going to really trump that is some giant

412
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: play that wins the Super Bowl for this team, you

413
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like, there are very few that

414
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 1: are going to surpass that play. I think in Bill's

415
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: playoff history, it's it's gonna be one that people remember forever.

416
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: Tarren Johnson's name is in the history of greatest Bill's

417
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: playoff place. I mean, it really is. There's no way

418
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: around it. Don't you remember, Like when I think Steve

419
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: Levy on the wasn't it? Was it Steve Levy doing

420
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 1: the broadcast? I can't remember who was doing the broadcast,

421
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: but the announcer was saying sixty eight hundred sounds like

422
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: sixty eight thousand. Here he was, and the place was

423
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: al Michaels, Thank you Jay. The place was erupting, and

424
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: the only I'm looking around, I'm like, where's all this

425
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: noise coming from? There's only six I was watching it

426
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: from inside. I wasn't even in the press box, so

427
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 1: I couldn't see it. I was in our control room

428
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: preparing for our postgame show. And even so, you could

429
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: hear things through the walls, like when a big play

430
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: would happen in a normal year, yeah, and then when

431
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: something like that happened in a not so normal year

432
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: where the stadium was not full of fans but had

433
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: the sixty eight hundred, you could still hear it. And

434
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 1: I was like, how many people are out there? Because

435
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: they sound so much louder than they're than how many

436
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 1: people are inside that stadium. But yeah, I mean that play.

437
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 1: I feel like the score is ten to three at

438
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: that point. It was the end of the third quarter,

439
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: and that play for so many people kind of solidified

440
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: the game. It was like, all right, it's we've got

441
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: this because the offense wasn't doing a whole lot in

442
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: that game, and it was so nice to see the defense,

443
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 1: you know, in a year where we did not have

444
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: a top three defense like we did the previous two

445
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: year years or top five defense, and to see the

446
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: defense take care of the offense once or twice in

447
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: a big time moment, in a big time game, I think,

448
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: you know, just the realization of all of that and

449
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: just how much that gay meant and that play meant

450
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: so many people. Cool moment, really really cool. Eight oh

451
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 1: three oh five fifty To get on board, we're asking you,

452
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: what's the best Bills play you ever saw? In person?

453
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 1: We go to George and cheek dewagan X, who's going

454
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: to reach into the past as well. George, what do

455
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: you have for us here on one Bill's Lives? All right?

456
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: How you doing, guys? Good? I was lucky enough to

457
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: work security the first during the Super Bowl years, so

458
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: I saw dozens of great plays that could go down

459
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: in Bill's history. But one of the ones that really

460
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: sticks in my head is Frank Wright hit Andrey Read

461
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: in the end zone. I think it was against the

462
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: Broncos on Monday Nights Football to win the game. And

463
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: I remember it so clearly because being security, I was

464
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: one of the guys that circled the field at the

465
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: end of the game and I was in that quarter

466
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: of the end zone. I think Andre was about fifteen

467
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: feet away from me when he caught the ball. Wow,

468
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: I actually had my hands I had my arms up

469
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: in the air before the referee did because I had

470
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 1: such a clear view of it. It was no question

471
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 1: of a touchdown because it was a diving catch near

472
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: like near the goal line and everything like that. And

473
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 1: I had my hands up in the year before the

474
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: referee did. And at work the next day, I was like, Oh,

475
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: what a great I was right there and somebody, somebody

476
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: I never met before. I was like, wait, you were

477
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: the security guy in the end zone. You had your

478
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: hands up before the referee did, didn't you. Yeah, so

479
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 1: you did. You did your mug get in a photo

480
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: in the paper or anything the next day, because you

481
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: were so close to that play. I think it might have.

482
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 1: I think it did, but I don't remember. It's like

483
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm yeah, I probably should have looked for that. George.

484
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: I would have been. You should have been, Yeah, you

485
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 1: should have been scouring the newspaper. You probably would have

486
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: been in a photo somewhere. You need that clipping. Somebody's

487
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: got to find that clipping for George. Somebody helped him out.

488
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, there was. Yeah. Well that's when the Bills

489
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: were playing a lot in prime time and they are again,

490
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: fortunately for all of us. But man, that's uh yeah,

491
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: And a lot of people would not expect it to

492
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: be Frank Reik throwing Andre the ball in such a

493
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: big moment, although he did that in the comeback game

494
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: with three touchdowns. Just to Andrea reading the comeback effort

495
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: against the Oilers in the wild card game. We'll take

496
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: one more here before the break. We will get to

497
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,719
Speaker 1: more of you shortly here, but we go to Adam

498
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 1: in Phoenix, all the way out in Phoenix. What do

499
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: you got for us? Adam? Hey, Christ and Maddie Um. Actually, Chris,

500
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: I was the Twitter handle that. Oh yes, thanks to

501
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: the question. Yeah, thank you. We appreciate you setting the

502
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: show for us. Yeah, yeah, it's it's kind of insignificant.

503
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: But I was at with my dad the preseason game

504
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: when Josh Allen started in Buffalo. He came in and

505
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: threw a seventy yard path out of bounds and the

506
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 1: stadium just erupted. And I'm younger for a lot of us,

507
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: younger Bills fans who weren't around for the Kelly years,

508
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: we were just so thirsty and hungry for that franchise

509
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: quarterback and it was kind of our first real excitement,

510
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 1: like this could be the guy. And I'm telling you,

511
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: for a preseason game, for an incomplete path, you would

512
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 1: think that we won our first playoff game on a

513
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: hail Mary top play nuts for this guy. I will

514
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: never ever forget that. That was against That was against Cincinnati, right, yeah,

515
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: And it was the game where we were thanking him

516
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 1: for all the donations, I believe, and by the end

517
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: of the game we were booing Andy. But it just

518
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: it was an unreal experience to finally get a glimpse

519
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,479
Speaker 1: of what the future of Buffalo could finally be like

520
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: that was a supremely interesting. That was probably one of

521
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: the more interesting preseason games. And Adam thanks for the

522
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: call and for the show tappic today because I gave

523
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 1: him credit on Twitter because I read his post and

524
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: I was like, that's a good show topic. Let's do

525
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: that today. But that game had so many layers to

526
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: it as a preseason game because obviously Josh Allen was

527
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: a rookie. When are we going to see him? And

528
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: then it was Andy Dalton's coming back, you know, after

529
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: everybody made the donations to his charity, after he and

530
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: the Bengals beat the Ravens to get the Bills in

531
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: the playoffs at the previous season. So it was like

532
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 1: this whole big thing going on. It's like more storylines

533
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: than you could shake a stick at for a preseason game.

534
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: And then throws a seventy yard pass out of bounds

535
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: down the sideline and everybody loved it. Didn't complete it,

536
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 1: It's just out of bounds, like it's sailed out of

537
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 1: bounds on it. But people are just like whoa oh,

538
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: Like people were just leave it to philas Mafia to

539
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: react that way to an incomplete pass. I absolutely love

540
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: that we have to take a break but we intend

541
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,160

00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: that in two thousand and three, there's a first game

561
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: I'd ever gone to and Bills are kicking on the

562
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: Patriots and I see Sam Adams, three hundred and fifty

563
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: pound defensive lineman pick off Tom Brady take it back

564
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. It was like, that's what I knew.

565
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: It's like, I want to see this all the time.

566
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: It was amazing. That was your first game. It was

567
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: it was my first the first game I'd ever gone to. Wow,

568
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: ticket old now thirty one nothing by against the Patriots.

569
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: It was that's a good first game. You're a good

570
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: luck charm, it was. It was. It was a great experience.

571
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: So the Sam Adams, Yeah, that's a good one. Eric,

572
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: thanks very much for the call. Yeah, I mean I

573
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: can't imagine that being your first game and you just

574
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: watched the Bills. Let's see, were they defending super Bowl

575
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: champs that year? No, not two thousand and three. No,

576
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: they wanted in two thousand and three, the year before

577
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: they didn't win. They won the year prior to that,

578
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: two thousand and one. So Patriots come in season opener

579
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: two thousand and three, and the Bill signed a bunch

580
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: of free eight into that offseason, including Sam Adams to

581
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: Kio Spikes among others, and lawyer Molloy who got cut

582
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: by the Patriots. That Tuesday, the Bills signed him and

583
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: he played in the game because he probably had half

584
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: the game plane and he had a sack in that

585
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: game too. He's sacked Brady and he's tight with Brady.

586
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: But Brady through four interceptions in that game, one will

587
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: somehow wound up in the hands of three hundred and

588
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: fifteen pounds Sam Adams, and he ran, I want to say,

589
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: about thirty thirty five yards to the end zone with

590
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: a convoy of blockers, and I can tell you you

591
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: know when something is happening, like the tarn Johnson interception

592
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: returned for a touchdown. People had a long time to

593
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: digest that. Even if you're at the stadium, you know

594
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: what's happening. And now it's just a matter of will

595
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: the play finish in the end zone. When there's a

596
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifteen pound man doing that, you're not

597
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: quite as confident that it's going to wind up in

598
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: the end zone. But you could quickly see there were

599
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: five guys in front of him ready to block for

600
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: him all the way down the sideline. And I am

601
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: telling you, as God is my witness, the stadium was

602
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: shaking after that play, and it wasn't because of Sam

603
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: Adams running. It was because of the fans going bananas

604
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: in the stands, Like if the plays had a roof,

605
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: it would have come off. That is still one of

606
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: the loudest days I have ever heard in this stadium.

607
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: And I mean, man, you're not expecting a defensive tackle

608
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: to go thirty plus yards of the end zone for

609
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: a touchdown. That takes me back to Jerry Hughes touchdown

610
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: against the Brons. I mean that was a blowout game,

611
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: but still super exciting play. Yeah, and this game ended

612
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: up being a blowout back in two thousand and three.

613
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: Of course, the Bills would would have the favor return

614
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: to them in week seventeen when they lost in New

615
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: England by the exact same score thirty one, nothing ouch,

616
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: and then the Patriots went on to win the Super

617
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: Bowl that year, their second. Let's go back to the phones, though,

618
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: and we go to Bill and Clarence for his best

619
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: play he's ever seen in person from the Bills. Bill,

620
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: what do you have for us, Kay, I'm going way back.

621
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: I've been to a lot of games, I've seen a

622
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: lot of great play. The one that I stands out

623
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,719
Speaker 1: for me was the very last game ever played at

624
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: or Memorial Stadium, a seventeen seventeen tie with Detroit. A

625
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: tie game, is your best play? Bill, Well, the best

626
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: play made it a tie. Okay, so game all right?

627
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: Help me out with the play then. Okay, late in

628
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: the game, we're losing fourteen to seven. Dennis Shaw, who

629
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: wasn't here very long, threw an air ball up to

630
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: the end zone and Bobby Chandler, who was one of

631
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: the best possession receivers the Bills ever had, was Lombarney

632
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: was covering him on the one side, a safety had

633
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: him on the other side. Just as they get to

634
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: the goal line, with his back to the ball, he

635
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: twus up in the air, reaches up and catches the

636
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,479
Speaker 1: tying touchdown. And I've seen a lot of other great plays,

637
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: but that one always stands out on my mind because

638
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: that's you had to be at the game, right, So

639
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: I was at that game. Yeah, So the acrobatics of

640
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: Chandler's effort is what sold you. Yes, I mean, and

641
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: plus he was covered by an All Pro and safety

642
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: and they were I mean, they were tight when they

643
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: went up, they were body the body, and he just

644
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: made a great catch, and he used to do that

645
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: on the sidelines on Ferguson catches. He'd go to the sideline,

646
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: put his toes down and make great catches. But that

647
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: was you know. I've seen oj ninety four yard touchdown

648
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: run against Pittsburgh that was good. But that player just

649
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 1: stands out in my mind because Bobby Chandler was a

650
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: player that I don't think ever got to do. Yeah,

651
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: well that's a good one, Bill, I'll take it from you.

652
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: You sold me on it. I asked you to sell

653
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: me on it, and you did. So good on you

654
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: for picking that one. And I like when people kind

655
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: of go off the board a little bit, Maddie. I mean,

656
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 1: we're talking about a quarterback that was here for a

657
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: cup of coffee. Bob Chandler, though, was here for a

658
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 1: long time as a possession receiver. The late Bob Chandler

659
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,919
Speaker 1: really a good possession receiver for this team for many

660
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 1: of the lean years. I didn't know he was that acrobatic.

661
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:12,879
Speaker 1: I didn't see him play myself. I was too young,

662
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: but um, I knew he was a good possession receiver.

663
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 1: Didn't know he had those kinds of acrobatics in his repertoire.

664
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: So good call, Bill, and we thank you for it.

665
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: Next up, Maddie is Dave in Florida. Dave, what do

666
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live doing

667
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: the greatest one of Shaw in person was I was

668
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl with Don Beebe caught what's his

669
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: name was? Leon Let? Leon Lett. That's the best ever.

670
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: That was an effort just doesn't go by. I think

671
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 1: it affects, you know the play, right if it effectively

672
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: characterized what those Bills teams were all about during those

673
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: Super Bowl years. I think you know that game was

674
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: already lost by the Bills. I mean, it was already

675
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: a blowout. There's no reason for Don Boebe to run

676
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: sixty yards to run that guy down, right, It's all

677
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:04,919
Speaker 1: about the effort. And I love that some of these

678
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: callers and a lot of these people who are tweeting

679
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 1: at us too on the tweet sheet, it's tying a

680
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: play to an experience, and I think that's what resonates

681
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: most with our fans and with people in general. When

682
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,720
Speaker 1: you're talking about best plays that you've witnessed in person,

683
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: is tying that to your experience or your first game

684
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: or something that makes it even more special than the

685
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: actual play. Maybe yeah, because I mean this was a

686
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: point in the game where Kelly had already been knocked

687
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 1: out and injured, and it's a fumble. I mean, this

688
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: is he's going sixty yards to the end zone. Don

689
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: Biebe ran a route down the field, so he's got

690
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: to turn around and make up fifteen yards just to

691
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 1: get back to the line of scrimmage. And he knocks

692
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: the ball out before he gets to the end zone.

693
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: So good on them for pulling that off. I'll tell

694
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: you that. We'll get to the tweet sheet here in

695
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: a second, But there is news on the Sabers front.

696
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:58,280
Speaker 1: This being reported by Darren Draeger, and he is saying

697
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: Don Granado expect to be announced shortly as the head

698
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 1: coach of the Buffalo Sabers and that it is a

699
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:10,320
Speaker 1: multi year deal. So as we know, Don Granado was

700
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: the interim coach of the Sabers after they said goodbye

701
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: to Ralph Krueger, and there were a lot of pluses

702
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: with what he was able to put together here in

703
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: the short time he was the interim head coach. Obviously,

704
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: after a long and lengthy search, they didn't feel they

705
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: could do any better than Don Granado, So it looks

706
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: like according to Darren Draeger's report, Grenado expected to be

707
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: announced shortly as head coach of the Buffalo Sabers. So

708
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,399
Speaker 1: we'll keep you apprized of the developments there and if

709
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 1: anything becomes official, we will obviously bring it to you.

710
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: But those are the reports that are out there now,

711
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: and if there are any further updates, Manny and I

712
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: will bring him along to you here on the show,

713
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: as we're with you until three pm. So if there

714
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: are any official announcements, any press conferences, will make you

715
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 1: aware of all of that. But Maddie, in the meantime,

716
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: why don't we get to the aforementioned tweet sheet? And

717
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: tweet sheet is always brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

718
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: the official equipment moving company to the bills, and why

719
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: don't you get us the first one on the docket there, Maddie,

720
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,800
Speaker 1: in terms of the best bills play they ever saw

721
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: in person? All right, Tiffany, our girl, says, no question.

722
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: Taron Johnson picks six against the Ravens. There may have

723
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: only been seven thousand or so fans, but it felt

724
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: like a packed house cheering as he made one of

725
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: the biggest plays in Buffalo Bill's history. It's an all

726
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 1: time play. Yeah. And like you said with your son

727
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,919
Speaker 1: when you spoke to him after the game the day after,

728
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 1: you're like, hey, I want you to realize that this

729
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: is probably going to be one of the best playoff

730
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: plays that goes down in history for the Buffalo Bills.

731
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,399
Speaker 1: And I'm sure a lot of people as they were

732
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: witnessing that in person, were realizing that as they as

733
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:56,720
Speaker 1: they saw Taron Johnson cross into the end zone to score. Yeah,

734
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: and you say, oh, well, one of the best playoff

735
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 1: plays ever. Well, there's not a whole lot to choose from.

736
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:03,919
Speaker 1: And all right, I get it. You know you want

737
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: to be you know, mister Downer, that's fine. But you know,

738
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: the fact remains that one hundred one yard interception return

739
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: on a play where he was going to take a

740
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: knee he was gonna take the touchback because if you watch,

741
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: right after he catches the interception, he kind of flinches like, oh,

742
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: maybe I'll take any Oh wait, I got an opening,

743
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: and then Tradevious White gets out in front of him

744
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,240
Speaker 1: to throw a key block I think on Lamar and

745
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: he goes the rest of the way and there was

746
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: like this build up of crowd noise because the interception

747
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: was made. He's like, all right, it's like, holy crap,

748
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 1: he's running, Holy crap, he might make it. And then

749
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 1: people were going nuts after that because they were like,

750
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: he is gonna make it. They were going crazy. And

751
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: then Mica Hyde almost injured him up against the scoreboard

752
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: wall when hed on his back. Yes, that was unbelievable

753
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: and a good one for Taran too, who had another

754
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: interception return against the Steelers right fifty one yards Sunday

755
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: night game. Yeah, so heck heck of an effort by

756
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: Terren Johnson. I'm not surprised that's been mentioned more than once.

757
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: Walt on the tweet sheet says Sam Adams pick six

758
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: is against the Patriots in two thousand and three. We

759
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: already had that one mentioned. What does Clark have, Maddie

760
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: Clark says Drayon Florence pick six to the house week

761
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: three against the Pats in two thousand and eleven to

762
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: end the losing streak. Yeah, the losing streak against the Patriots.

763
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 1: That was so up until that point in time. Tom

764
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: Brady his only two his only loss to the Bills

765
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: was the two thousand three game that we mentioned thirty

766
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 1: one nothing season opener, hadn't lost another one since. So

767
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: now here it is two thousand and eleven, it's eight

768
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 1: years later. He's never lost to the Bills in that stretch.

769
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: It was like sixteen seventeen games, whatever it was. And

770
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: so Drayton Florence picks him off. So in the two

771
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 1: thousand and three game that the Bills won, Brady threw

772
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: four interceptions. In the two thousand and eleven game that

773
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: the Bills won, on the last I can field goal,

774
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: Brady through four interceptions and Drayton Florence's pick six to

775
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:07,240
Speaker 1: the house actually wound up on the cover of Sports

776
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: Illustrated that week because I can still see the picture.

777
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: He set both of his arms out like this like

778
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 1: an airplane, with the ball in his hand as he's

779
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: going into the end zone. The shots taken of him

780
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: from the other end of the field going in, and

781
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: I don't think that was the national cover, but it

782
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: was definitely the regional cover of Sports Illustrated. We have

783
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: to take a break here, but Manny and I'll be

784
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 1: back with more of your thoughts on the best Bills

785
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 1: play you ever witnessed in person. Open lines for you

786
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: at eight O three fifty one eighty five fifty two

787
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: five fifty and we'll keep you up to date on

788
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: the developments with the Buffalo Sabers, as Darren Drager is

789
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 1: reporting that Don Grenado is expected to be announced shortly

790
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 1: as the head coach of the Sabers. Back in a

791
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: moment here on One Bill's Line, presented by Collaida Health,

792
00:41:53,239 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Come back to One Bills Live.

793
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Mandy glab would be here on a Tuesday,

794
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: And we always look for some funny stories just I mean,

795
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: it's that time of the year where wacky stuff happens.

796
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,760
Speaker 1: People are outside more in the summertime. So we've always

797
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 1: heard about the proverbial fire department rescue the cat in

798
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: the tree deal. I mean, heck, they used to put

799
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 1: it in cartoons, it was so popular. This one's got

800
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 1: a bit of a twist. So there's a cat caught

801
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,800
Speaker 1: up in a tree, can't get down, and the owner

802
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: of the cat, this dude, decides, Hey, I gotta go

803
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: get my cat. Cat's terrified up there. So this this

804
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 1: guy in Tulsa, Oklahoma, decides, well, I'm gonna climb the

805
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: tree and then I'll bring the cat down and all

806
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,760
Speaker 1: will be right. Yeah. Guy gets up the tree and realizes,

807
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: whole crap, I'm twenty five feet in the air and

808
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: I don't know how I'm getting down. A man with

809
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: no plan, Maddie, I hope there were family members who

810
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: were also at home watching this unfold out the window

811
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: and just laughing their butts off and more importantly, more

812
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: importantly shooting video. Yes, here's my question, okay, because what

813
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: happened here was he had they had some some of

814
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 1: his neighbors had to call the fire department to show

815
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: up to get the cat and the man out of

816
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: the flow. Nine one. Yes, there's a cat stuck in

817
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: the tree. And also my neighbor made his way up

818
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: in the tree to hang out with that cat. Yeah. Um,

819
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 1: my question is this, Okay, I understand you're concerned about

820
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: your pet, you worry about the thing falling out of

821
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: the tree, whatever, whatever the case might be. Why is

822
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: a ladder not involved of any kind? Like you know

823
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,479
Speaker 1: what I mean? Maybe you don't have a twenty foot

824
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: ladder like the fire department does. People right have like

825
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 1: an eight or a ten foot ladder in their house.

826
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: And so I'm thinking to myself, where's the ladder in

827
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: all this? Like did he like climb the tree, you know,

828
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 1: like an orangutang? Like what was he doing? He jumped

829
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: the gun? Maybe there was a ladder and he's just

830
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 1: so locked in on his cat in the tree that

831
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: the ladder didn't even come to mind, right? Which which? Right?

832
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: That led me to my next thought, like, have I

833
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,760
Speaker 1: ever done something where I've just reacted and not really

834
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: thought everything through? And I'm sure there are things that

835
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: I've done like that. I don't know if I'm climbing

836
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,760
Speaker 1: thirty ft into a tree though, because you think logic

837
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 1: would pop in your head, d be like, oh, let

838
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: me get the ladder, shout at that, Yeah, get the

839
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: ladder man, or at least a rope, you know, throw

840
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 1: a rope around a tree branch, you know, if you're

841
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: good enough, you know, a former boy scout or something.

842
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 1: You got some killer not on there and you you

843
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 1: trust it. Okay, maybe you use the rat the rope

844
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: and you kind of climb your way up up with

845
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 1: your feet on the trunk of the tree and you

846
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: walk your way up with the rope if you're doing

847
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: the CrossFit thing. I don't know none of that was

848
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm just mad there wasn't a video on how he

849
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: got up there in the first place. That was my

850
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: only disappointment that story. But Man and Cat rescued from

851
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:20,399
Speaker 1: tree eight oh three five fifty one, eight eight five

852
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: fifty two, five fifty the number to call to get

853
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 1: on board. As we are discussing with you the best

854
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: Bill's play you ever saw in person, we are also

855
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: dealing with Sabers reports Darren Draeger first among them. He's

856
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: reporting Don it is official. Okay, So the Sabers have

857
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:42,879
Speaker 1: now made it official that Don Grenado will be their

858
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: new head coach for the twenty twenty one season. They

859
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 1: remove the interim tag from his title. He is now

860
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: officially the head coach of the Buffalo Sabers. So any

861
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 1: further developments or press conferences forthcoming, we will let you

862
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 1: know when those will be beyond their way to you,

863
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: as Don Grenado will undoubtedly be meeting the media in

864
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:07,439
Speaker 1: the very near future to address his appointment as head

865
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: coach of the Sabers. Manny and I will take a

866
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: break here, but be back with more of your comments

Speaker 1: to health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio at a Steve Tasker

869
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: who has been all over the fields. Kind of unique.

870
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: He was kind of a dual role player for you, Steve,

871
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:46,479
Speaker 1: Steve a blimp. We're not even in the strated fear

872
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: of normalcy here and here we are for our number

873
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,959
Speaker 1: two one Bills Live Chris Brown, Mandy Glavin for Steve

874
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 1: Tasker for the rest of the week, and we are

875
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:03,320
Speaker 1: discussing the best Bill plays you have ever seen in person,

876
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 1: either here at the stadium in Orchard Park or on

877
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 1: the road for a road game. Had some good submission

878
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 1: so far. We look forward to more of yours at

879
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,800
Speaker 1: eight O three five fifty one eight eight five fifty

880
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 1: two five fifty. But there is breaking Sabers news, as

881
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: the team has made it official now. There were reports

882
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 1: by Darren Drager that Don Granado was going to be

883
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 1: named head coach of the Sabers, and a short time later,

884
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 1: the Sabers confirmed that just minutes ago that Don Gronado

885
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: will in fact be named the new head coach of

886
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Sabers for the twenty twenty one season and

887
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: beyond after serving as the interim head coach and I

888
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: don't know about you, Maddie, but I think the longer

889
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:47,760
Speaker 1: it went the more the more I kind of felt

890
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 1: that it was going to be Granado. I think if

891
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: they found somebody else that they really liked, bang, it

892
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 1: would have been done, you know what I mean? Yeah,

893
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 1: And I know they wanted to wait until they got

894
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: into the off season and kind of figure out, all right,

895
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 1: who are some names that we like, who's available? But

896
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 1: then there was this looming and not like it was

897
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,360
Speaker 1: a bad thing. It was like Don Grenado did a

898
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 1: good job when he took over in March seventeenth, and

899
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 1: several players had some of their best stretches under Don Grenado,

900
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: and a lot of the players when you heard them

901
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:20,399
Speaker 1: talk about him in press conferences, had really nice things

902
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: to say about him and their growth underneath him, and

903
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 1: how he coaches for the players and is more of

904
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 1: a players type coach. And it kind of became the

905
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: pieces were being put together and the foundation was being

906
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 1: laid for this to come to what it is today.

907
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 1: Being announced as the head coach of the Buffalo Sabers.

908
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 1: Someone who understands this group of men who are part

909
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: of this team, someone who has seen this team the

910
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 1: last couple of seasons, understood the good things and maybe

911
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 1: some of the things you can learn from underneath Ralph

912
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: Kruger and start to form your own team. He coached

913
00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: for some really great teams and got to see some

914
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 1: really right coaches put together some great seasons with the

915
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 1: Saint Louis Blues and the Chicago Blackhawks. Pierre lebrun Is

916
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,359
Speaker 1: reporting that it's a three year deal for Granado and

917

Speaker 1: joining us now is one of the co hosts of

00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 1: us to lend some insight on the subject. Pete, thanks

921
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 1: for taking some time. Did we wake you up from

922
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: your nap? Or you okay? Or I tried to foist

923
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: one of the other two guys on here, but here

924
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: you are, right here here here. I am um. Brownie,

925
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 1: you just said something. Oh I know what it was.

926
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 1: How would you learn anything, Brownie? You're the host, Steve's

927
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 1: the co host. I'm the host, and Craig's the co host.

928
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 1: All right, the host, well, Mattie host, but Steve, come on, like,

929
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 1: I want the host title. I don't want the co

930
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 1: host fair enough, I'll call you whatever you want. I mean,

931
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've been called worse, but in any event, yeah, yeah,

932
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: that's why I said it. But uh At, I don't

933
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 1: know if you felt the same way, Pete, because I

934
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: was just talking to Maddie about this. I felt like

935
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 1: the longer this stretched, this you know, head coaching process,

936
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 1: the more I felt they were going to come back

937
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 1: to Grenado in the end. Did you feel that way

938
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: or did you feel they were genuinely beating the bushes

939
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 1: and trying to really be as methodical and as thorough

940
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 1: as possible. I honestly believe either way the process isn't

941
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: it has to be done. The process has to be done.

942
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 1: But either way, I I truly believe that no matter what,

943
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: I felt like, it was going to be Don Grenado

944
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: the entire time. In fact, I would I would kind

945
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 1: of sarcastically joke on the show and say, you know,

946
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: what's the hold up from the Don Grenado coaching announcement

947
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 1: and I and I was being funny about it, but

948
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:51,399
Speaker 1: I did believe it. Um just because it seemed like

949
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: the best fit, right, I mean, he has the time

950
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 1: here put in, he has the relationship now with the

951
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 1: players from the end of the year, clearly a good

952
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 1: rapport at the end of the year, and some strong

953
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:06,359
Speaker 1: words from the players about Don Grenado. So I just

954
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 1: thought it was a it was a no brainer. Was

955
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,360
Speaker 1: there a moment that you it was a no brainer

956
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 1: in your mind? Was there a game, Was there stretch

957
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 1: of games where you thought this has got to be

958
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 1: the guy? Or would you say it was after the

959
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: season when you kind of looked back on when he

960
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 1: took over on March seventeenth and saw what he was

961
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 1: able to put together and saw what some of the

962
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 1: players were able to put together underneath him. It's a

963
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 1: great question because, to be honest with you, it had

964
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 1: nothing to really do with the performance of the team.

965
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 1: In fact, Marty pointed out to me today that they

966
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 1: were three and seven in the last ten games. So

967
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it has nothing really to do with the

968
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 1: wins and losses it was it was it was more

969
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: just about when you heard the players speaking about him

970
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 1: after the season. I mean, obviously you could see a

971
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 1: change in the way they were playing. Um, I don't

972
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 1: want to say that it was necessarily effort, because that

973
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: would be an insult of the players earlier in the year.

974
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 1: But actually they were different. They were more sound. They

975
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 1: like what happened to rossmas Daline from the first half

976
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 1: of the season to the second. So is that all Granado?

977
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll see in the years to come, I

978
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 1: feel still, you know, this is the great thing about

979
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 1: this is that as unproven as he is, he gets

980
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 1: to prove himself with a group that he's already had.

981
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 1: So he gets to prove himself with you know, some

982
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 1: players that already trust him, like him and have a

983
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: good rapport with him, as I mentioned before. So no, Maddie,

984
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 1: there wasn't one thing. It was more the end of

985
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 1: the year. When you heard him speak his media address

986
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 1: at the end of the year, it was very strong.

987
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,760
Speaker 1: Love the way he speaks, love the way he thinks.

988
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 1: His first interview as a head coach, I remember postgame

989
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:50,359
Speaker 1: interview was very impressive, if I can recall correctly. You know. So,

990
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 1: I know coaching isn't always about how someone speaks, but

991
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 1: but I think that when you see a team that

992
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 1: was so terrible the first half of the year, you know,

993
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 1: kind of look somewhat respectable in the second half. I

994
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 1: think I think all the coaches, as we see matt

995
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 1: Ellis on the screen there deserve the credit. But Don Grenado,

996
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 1: you know, as I mentioned, no question, he was going

997
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 1: to be the guy talking to Andrew Peter's host of

998
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 1: the Instigators show an Now we're getting somewhere. Now. I

999
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: feel like our relationship just went to a new level, Crowny,

1000
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:22,320
Speaker 1: And it wasn't just when it wasn't when I started

1001
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 1: to root for the Islanders. That's right, it's hey, whatever

1002
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:26,840
Speaker 1: I can do to facilitate. But Don Grenado has been

1003
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 1: named the twentieth head coach at the Savers, So that's

1004
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: why we got Pdon to kind of dice this up

1005
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 1: for us, and I wonder if there is some value

1006
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: in this. You can dismiss this out of hand if

1007
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 1: you feel it's necessary. But you know, you mentioned how

1008
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 1: Grenado as a head coach at this level is unproven.

1009
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 1: He's had success at other levels, including the AHL Eclum.

1010
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: But here's a guy who has to prove himself as

1011
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,439
Speaker 1: a head coach, and here is a roster of young

1012
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 1: players that still have to prove themselves as a team.

1013
00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:00,800
Speaker 1: With those two elements on similar paths, do you feel

1014
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:04,360
Speaker 1: that the growth factor is helped with with a coach

1015
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: that's just as motivated to prove himself as he is

1016
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,919
Speaker 1: to make this team a team that's respected in the league.

1017
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 1: I think, I think, I don't think the answer I'm

1018
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 1: going to give you I would have known if I

1019
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: were when I was a player. I think being removed

1020
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 1: from the game and learning a little bit more, eyes

1021
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 1: being opened up, a little bit more, a little bit

1022
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:31,879
Speaker 1: more open to changes within the game. UM, I think

1023
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:35,320
Speaker 1: a good coach. These are young players, as you mentioned,

1024
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 1: and as even though they're in the NHL, they still

1025
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 1: all have to learn. I mean, Jack Cho might be

1026
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 1: a superstar, but he still has to learn an area.

1027
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,919
Speaker 1: Sidney Crosby works on something every year because not because

1028
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 1: he has to learn it, because he has to get

1029
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 1: better at it. And I think Don Grenado's ability to teach,

1030
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: and I think Don Grenado's UM, I think his ability

1031
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:59,759
Speaker 1: to make these players better will automatically make the team.

1032
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 1: And by that I mean learning how to play an

1033
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,879
Speaker 1: NHL style a game. And I you know, hockey from

1034
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:07,240
Speaker 1: junior to the American league is very different. The American

1035
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 1: League to the NHL is very different, Europe to the NHL.

1036
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:13,400
Speaker 1: It's all different. But but I think if you can

1037
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:15,839
Speaker 1: teach these young players that obviously have a ton of

1038
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:19,799
Speaker 1: talent already, how to play the game properly, what to

1039
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 1: do structurally, implement some you know, we throw the term

1040
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 1: systems around like you know, but if he can implement that,

1041
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:29,440
Speaker 1: I think he could have a lot of success with

1042
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 1: a young talent that's on this team. And they already

1043
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 1: trust him, and that's that's a key word when you're

1044
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 1: talking player coach is trust. So m I think the

1045
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 1: biggest hurdle for Don Grenado to get over is going

1046
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:43,760
Speaker 1: to be whether or not he's gonna have Jack Sam

1047
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 1: and Risto in the lineup, and and other than that,

1048
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 1: he's going to have a pretty good returning players and

1049
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 1: some good young players. So it should be exciting exciting

1050
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 1: for him, I think, what to get a multi year deal? Right, yeah,

1051
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 1: that Pierre Lebron's reporting three year deal for Don Grenado.

1052
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,919
Speaker 1: So we're in a cool, a drinking business here at

1053
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: One Bill's Drive, you know that. So why should fans

1054
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:11,720
Speaker 1: be excited and pumped up about this higher Well, because

1055
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:15,160
Speaker 1: he's already seemed to get the players to like them,

1056
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 1: and I think you have players like Casey Mettelstatt, who

1057
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:21,799
Speaker 1: is you know, and I wouldn't say in sirius, but

1058
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 1: at the start of the year, before training camp, I

1059
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:25,040
Speaker 1: would say, in serious question whether or not he was

1060
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 1: even going to play on the team at all this year.

1061
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:30,839
Speaker 1: And you know, he managed to get a guy like

1062
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:35,360
Speaker 1: that to buy into what he's what he's you know, preaching,

1063
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:37,759
Speaker 1: and gave Casey a lot of ice time, a lot

1064
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 1: of responsibility. And that's what players want. Players want to

1065
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:44,760
Speaker 1: see a coach that will give them a longer leash,

1066
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 1: give them opportunity when it's earned. I mean I had

1067
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: that grapple as a player playing for Lindy Ruff. He

1068
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 1: pigeonholed his players into roles. I mean it was like

1069
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:56,719
Speaker 1: Andrew Peters is a fourth, fifth line left winger on

1070
00:56:56,800 --> 00:57:00,040
Speaker 1: this team, And if there was a third line and

1071
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 1: left wing or missing from practice, I didn't go up

1072
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 1: and fill the spot. It was just left blank. So

1073
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 1: you know, you want more from a player, give them more,

1074
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:13,880
Speaker 1: and I think Don Grenado does that. I think I

1075
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 1: think just his communication, that's the word we talk about

1076
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 1: these days. You know, players from from you know, even

1077
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 1: when Craig first started playing in the early nineties, will

1078
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 1: tell you that there was no communication between players and coaches.

1079
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 1: And when I left the game, that was just starting

1080
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 1: to become, you know, a real thing back in twenty ten, um,

1081
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 1: you know, where coaches were actually communicating with their players

1082
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 1: and talking to them like they were human beings and

1083
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: not just you know, slabs of beef that are going

1084
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,480
Speaker 1: to get this coach another extension, you know what I mean.

1085
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 1: It's it's uh, there's a there's a relationship I believe

1086
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 1: that needs to be formed between the players and the coaches.

1087
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 1: And I think the separate separation days of players in

1088
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 1: this room coaches in this room. Yeah, I think they're

1089
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 1: still separate when they get ready and stuff, but I

1090
00:57:56,880 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: think they're they're all they're more connected in terms of

1091
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 1: the communication and the wiring and everything. So I don't

1092
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 1: know if that makes sense, but if it does, That's

1093
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 1: why I think Don Grenado people should be excited about

1094
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: him is because your players are excited. I mean, when

1095
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 1: your players are excited to play for a coach, then

1096
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: you're going to get the most out of them. But

1097
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 1: if they're not exciting, you know, you they hire a

1098
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 1: coach and it's like, oh god, they brought in tarts.

1099
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 1: We're in for hell. Players aren't going to be as

1100
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 1: excited to come to training camp. I'm willing to bet

1101
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 1: you if you could get an anonymous vote from the

1102
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 1: players who they would have rather had. I guarantee you

1103
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 1: across the board, it would have been Don Grenado, just

1104
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 1: because of the communication and the way he treats us guys.

1105
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 1: All right, Pete, well thanks very much for the insight here.

1106
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 1: As Don Grenado has been named twentieth head coach in

1107
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 1: Saber's history, we do have the information the introductory I

1108
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:51,120

Speaker 1: five A brownie. Well, you don't have to go play five.

1110
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:56,000

00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 1: that's Andrew Peters joining us host of the Instigators. It's

1127
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 1: pretty particular about that, turning most of the instigation. I

1128
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 1: didn't want it. I didn't want to bend his ear

1129
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 1: for you. I'm more than happy to talk to him

1130
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 1: for twenty minutes, but I want to save him some

1131
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:48,440
Speaker 1: stuff that he can use for his show tomorrow. And

1132
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 1: don't spill it all out here on one Bill's lost

1133
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 1: fill the beans in. But yes, so, Don Granado, in

1134
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 1: case you're just joining us, officially named the head coach

1135
00:59:56,520 --> 01:00:00,080
Speaker 1: of the Sabers going forward, loses the interim tag and

1136
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 1: the press conference formally introducing him will take place at

1137
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 1: eleven am on Thursday. That will be carried live on

1138
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 1: the Instigators show right here on WGR and on MSG

1139
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 1: so we look forward to that. But in the meantime,

1140
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 1: Maddie and I are getting back to football and what

1141
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 1: we are discussing today. It's a kind of fun topic.

1142
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 1: We had some great calls in the first hour of

1143
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 1: the show, and we want more of them. At eight

1144
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 1: oh three, five fifty one, eight eight eight five fifty two,

1145
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 1: five fifty. What's the best Bills play you ever saw

1146
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 1: in person? And I don't know about you, Maddy, but

1147
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 1: I got a list, Okay, so let's work through it. Yeah,

1148
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 1: there's one that jumped out to me. And again I

1149
01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 1: will preface this by saying, I didn't think of the

1150
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:48,920
Speaker 1: category the way you did. Initially. You were thinking game

1151
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:54,080
Speaker 1: changing plays, and that made me think of the Drayton

1152
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 1: Florence interception that one of our listeners referenced in the

1153
01:00:57,200 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 1: twenty eleven win over the Patriots in Week three. But

1154
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 1: I thought about an amazing physical play and the one

1155
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 1: that came to mind for me. I believe it's the

1156
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 1: two thousand and five season. It's right after Hurricane Katrina,

1157
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 1: and the Bills have to play the Saints on the road,

1158
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 1: but the Saints cannot play in the Superdome, so the

1159
01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 1: games for their home games are all moved to San Antonio.

1160
01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 1: In the Alamo Dome. Bills have to play at the

1161
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 1: Saints in San Antonio, and the Bills are getting a

1162
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:35,240
Speaker 1: kickoff at the end of the first half. Terence McGee,

1163
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 1: who just went to the Pro Bowl a year before,

1164
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 1: is the kick returner, and I've got to tell you

1165
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 1: it's one of the most amazing kick returns that I

1166
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: have ever seen in my life. He must have run

1167
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 1: close to two hundred yards on this return, just weaving

1168
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 1: back and forth across the field. He shook probably fourteen

1169
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:54,560
Speaker 1: people out of their shoes because he beat like three

1170
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:58,320
Speaker 1: or four guys twice. So they scrib kicked the thing

1171
01:01:58,360 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 1: at the end of the half because they just want

1172
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:01,360
Speaker 1: to get out of the half without giving up points.

1173
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:03,919
Speaker 1: So he goes one way, comes all the way back

1174
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 1: the other way, then cuts back again. And I've heard

1175
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:10,440
Speaker 1: him talk about this. Steve actually interviewed him on the

1176
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 1: Legend Show. He was talking about this return, and he

1177
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:17,080
Speaker 1: realizes this is the last play of the half. So

1178
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 1: he's trying like heck to get away from He's faked

1179
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:22,120
Speaker 1: out eight ten people our MSG viewers watching the play.

1180
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 1: Now he clears he gets to open field. It looks

1181
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 1: like he's on his way in. He sees a guy

1182
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 1: block a player in front of him, he jumps too early,

1183
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:33,960
Speaker 1: strips over the guy, and falls down at the four

1184
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 1: yard line. End of half Bills don't score. As he

1185
01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:41,400
Speaker 1: calls it, it's the best kick return for a touchdown

1186
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:47,200
Speaker 1: that never was. But I sat my mouth was hanging

1187
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:50,120
Speaker 1: open there at the Alamo Dome, like, oh my god,

1188
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna score. This is gonna go down as one

1189
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:57,520
Speaker 1: of the most kick returns ever. And then it didn't happen.

1190
01:02:57,680 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 1: It was like air out of the balloon. It was

1191
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 1: a crusher and they lost the yards to us. It

1192
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:06,200
Speaker 1: was amazing. It's just if you if you were there

1193
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 1: and you watched it at live speed, because that was

1194
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 1: like the slow motion we were watching there. It was unbelievable.

1195
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:15,880
Speaker 1: People are just grasping at air. It's just I was amazed.

1196
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:19,360
Speaker 1: It was just an amazing physical play. And you know,

1197
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 1: all the guys that were blocking for him get credit

1198
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 1: to but he faked about seven or eight guys out

1199
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 1: all by himself, like just they looked silly, um. And

1200
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 1: that's when he was at the height of his return

1201
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 1: prowess because, as I said, he had just gone to

1202
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl the year before, when he returned three

1203
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:38,440
Speaker 1: kicks for touchdowns in that season, which is something that

1204
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:41,320
Speaker 1: we're just not gonna see anymore now in this league

1205
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:43,320
Speaker 1: with the new kickoff line, you know up at the

1206
01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:45,840
Speaker 1: thirty five and all the touchbacks we see, all the

1207
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:50,440
Speaker 1: new rules can't use the wedge. So I don't know

1208
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:53,439
Speaker 1: if we'll ever see seasons like that ever again, where

1209
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 1: guys have three four kick returns for touchdowns. It's just

1210
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna become on you know, Devin Hester, I mean,

1211
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 1: my god, like one of the best return ever. You

1212
01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 1: saw plenty of growing up with the Bears. So yeah,

1213
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:08,600
Speaker 1: that's the play that jumped into my mind first. Um,

1214
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:11,200
Speaker 1: everything else was second after that. Did you have one that?

1215
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 1: I think it was? The tarn Johnson pick six was

1216
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:16,440
Speaker 1: definitely number one in my mind. Some other plays that

1217
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:18,640
Speaker 1: came to mind were just some of the trick plays

1218
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen and Brian Dayballs have pulled out of

1219
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 1: their bag throughout the last two seasons. Thanksgiving Day, what

1220
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 1: was it? John Brown to Devin Singleton. Yeah, that was

1221
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:33,200
Speaker 1: a cool play that was really awesome. And then another

1222
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 1: defensive play from this past season. It was the first

1223
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:39,240
Speaker 1: Patriots game where justin Zimmer forced to fumble and de

1224
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: Marlow recovered it in the fourth quarter with just I

1225
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:44,440
Speaker 1: think under a minute to play. That kind of sealed

1226
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 1: the victory. And it was the monkey off the back,

1227
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 1: like we beat the Patriots, like it can be done

1228
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:53,640
Speaker 1: Farren Square. Of course, Tom Brady was not on the

1229
01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 1: team last year. Um, but I think that's another one

1230
01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 1: that comes to mind for for best plays that I've

1231
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:02,000
Speaker 1: been able to see, which with the Bills has only

1232
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 1: been the last two seasons, so I don't have the

1233
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:07,160
Speaker 1: biggest crop to choose, right, but that's a heck of all.

1234
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:10,200
Speaker 1: I mean, one hunder one yard interception returned in the

1235
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:12,560
Speaker 1: playoffs is a tough one to top, and that's why

1236
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 1: I will think it'll go down as one of the

1237
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:17,960
Speaker 1: best plays in team history. The other one that came

1238
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:21,840
Speaker 1: to mind in terms of like rare, physical gifted play

1239
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 1: was when Josh in his first year as the full

1240
01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:30,360
Speaker 1: time starter twenty eighteen, leaps over Anthony bar in Minnesota.

1241
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 1: Like you've seen running backs do that, maybe a wide receiver,

1242
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 1: but not a six five quarterback. And he's not jumping

1243
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:41,040
Speaker 1: over a dB, He's jumping over a six three linebacker.

1244
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:43,840
Speaker 1: I was just like What the hell did I just look?

1245
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:47,280
Speaker 1: What did I just see there? I was in the

1246
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:50,440
Speaker 1: stadium for that game, and there was an audible gasp.

1247
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:54,360
Speaker 1: In Minnesota, people are like, oh, what, like they couldn't

1248
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:57,080
Speaker 1: believe it. I cannot wait till his career is over.

1249
01:05:57,200 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 1: Why I'm not saying I can't wait till he's done playing,

1250
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:02,520
Speaker 1: but I hope he has a very long career, and

1251
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:06,080
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see what his cut up highlight

1252
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:11,120
Speaker 1: of his craziest plays, ie that one we look, we

1253
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 1: look back maybe I don't know how many years from now,

1254
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 1: hopefully um, twenty, let's say more than that, and we're like,

1255
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 1: who was this animal that was the Buffalo Bill's quarterback

1256
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 1: for so long? Yeah, that'll be on the highlight reel.

1257
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question about it. It'll be

1258
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:34,240
Speaker 1: at the front end. You know. Hopefully there's like Lombardi

1259
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:37,840
Speaker 1: trophies and other stuff at the other end. Um, but yeah,

1260
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 1: i'd be I can't see how that play would not

1261
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 1: be on a reel for him. But let's go to

1262
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 1: the phones at eight oh three five fifty one eighty

1263
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty open line for you there.

1264
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:54,200
Speaker 1: If you've got your best play that you saw in person?

1265
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 1: Buy a bill. We go to Greg in Naples. Greg,

1266
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're one Bills Live?

1267
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 1: How are you doing? Chris good? Um? I think it

1268
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:08,520
Speaker 1: was nineteen eighty one. It was Ferguson the rolland Hooks

1269
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:12,720
Speaker 1: on the hail Mary. The stadium had emptied out five

1270
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:14,840
Speaker 1: minutes before because they were thought we were gonna lose.

1271
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:17,400
Speaker 1: Do you remember who they were playing? Greg? I think

1272
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 1: it was the Patriots. Okay, so nineteen eighty one against

1273
01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Ferguson with with a hail Mary to Roland

1274
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:28,640
Speaker 1: Hooks and they win the game. How much do you

1275
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:30,000
Speaker 1: know how much time was left? Was that the last

1276
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 1: play of the game. It was the last play of

1277
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 1: the game to last? Okay, Yeah, that's a good one.

1278
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:38,040
Speaker 1: Do you remember how long it was? Like? Yardage wise,

1279
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:42,280
Speaker 1: it was like forty yard touchdown pass? Yeah? Nice? Hey

1280
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:44,360
Speaker 1: during those lean years, man, you'll take that one to

1281
01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:47,360
Speaker 1: the bank. The Bills were leading and the Patriots took

1282
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:50,720
Speaker 1: the lead, and we took the kickoff and we made

1283
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 1: a long pass and then we see with the hail

1284
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:56,560
Speaker 1: Mary and won the game. That's awesome. That's a good one. Thanks.

1285
01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 1: For taking us back to the eighties. Man, they were decent,

1286
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:03,000
Speaker 1: and eighty eighty one they've went to the playoffs. You know. Yeah,

1287
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:05,360
Speaker 1: so that's a good one. Thanks for taking us down

1288
01:08:05,360 --> 01:08:08,560
Speaker 1: memory lane on that one. Going back to nineteen eighty one, Mattie,

1289
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 1: you aren't even those pretty days yet, not even a thought. Um,

1290
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:19,120
Speaker 1: let's open line for you. Eight oh three oh five

1291
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:22,160
Speaker 1: fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty

1292
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:24,880
Speaker 1: then number to get on board and we go now

1293
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:27,920
Speaker 1: to Zach in Rochester. Zach, what do you have for us?

1294
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:30,840
Speaker 1: You're on one Bill's life. Hey, how are you guys

1295
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:35,240
Speaker 1: doing today? Hood and joining? What do you got for us?

1296
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:39,760
Speaker 1: My favorite play was a Flutie touchdown when he beat

1297
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:43,320
Speaker 1: Jacksonville on this um last player or next to last play.

1298
01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 1: That just blew the stadium up. We just lost our

1299
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 1: minds that day, and then we started being becoming true

1300
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:54,799
Speaker 1: believers in and Flutie in his situation. You've seen that one, right, Mattie.

1301
01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 1: I mean, who hasn't seen the Flutie game? Uh? The

1302
01:08:58,160 --> 01:09:01,800
Speaker 1: thing I forgot about that, Zack. With respect to the

1303
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:05,680
Speaker 1: circumstances surrounding that game, I think Jacksonville came in at

1304
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:09,439
Speaker 1: six and zero. I think they were undefeated going into

1305
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:14,640
Speaker 1: that game. Ninety eight season and the Bills started that

1306
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 1: year in an Owen three hole and that was right

1307
01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:22,400
Speaker 1: when they started climbing out of it. And what was

1308
01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:25,559
Speaker 1: at sixteen ten and they're on down on the goal line.

1309
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:27,720
Speaker 1: They thought Moles got into the end zone on a

1310
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:30,240
Speaker 1: long pass down the left sideline, but he had stumbled

1311
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:32,400
Speaker 1: and then he reached for the end zone. The ref

1312
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:34,840
Speaker 1: says touchdown. They review it, they say no, he's down

1313
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:37,680
Speaker 1: at the one or the two, whatever it was. And

1314
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:39,720
Speaker 1: then it looked like it was supposed to be a

1315
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 1: handoff to Thurman. I don't know if Flutey turned the

1316
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:46,479
Speaker 1: wrong way and realized I can't hand it off to Thurman.

1317
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:49,799
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna scramble around the end and nobody

1318
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:52,320
Speaker 1: had the edge, and he went right into the end zone,

1319
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:54,519
Speaker 1: and yeah, the place erupted. Flute he jumped into the

1320
01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:58,800
Speaker 1: stands after he scored on that play. You remember that, Yeah, sir,

1321
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:01,840
Speaker 1: that was some of them great times. I'm hoping that's

1322
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:03,760
Speaker 1: gonna come up this season since we'd have missed it

1323
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:07,640
Speaker 1: last year. So yeah, I think we have a good

1324
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:09,519
Speaker 1: feeling that that is going to happen. Zach, thanks for

1325
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:11,400
Speaker 1: the call. That's a good one. I am surprised it

1326
01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:13,559
Speaker 1: took that long to get to that one for that

1327
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:15,800
Speaker 1: one to come up. Yeah, I thought that was gonna

1328
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 1: be like a sure fire first hour, first tweet submission.

1329
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:24,960
Speaker 1: Um yeah, somebody reminded me of that last year that

1330
01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:29,160
Speaker 1: it was. It was a six and oh Jaguars team

1331
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:32,800
Speaker 1: coming in here for that game. Um, I think there

1332
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:35,880
Speaker 1: was like ten seconds left after flute score and then

1333
01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:38,320
Speaker 1: they kicked the extra point. They win the game seventeen sixteen,

1334
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:41,560
Speaker 1: and that started the role. So they start oh and

1335
01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 1: three that year finished ten and six, you know, so

1336
01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:48,200
Speaker 1: they go ten and three in their last thirteen games

1337
01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:50,200
Speaker 1: and get in the playoffs and FLUTEI goes to the

1338
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. It was crazy, absolutely because he wasn't supposed

1339
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:56,479
Speaker 1: to start. As we know, Rob Johnson was supposed to

1340
01:10:56,520 --> 01:11:01,200
Speaker 1: be the starter. Eight oh three five fifty one two

1341
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:04,360
Speaker 1: five fifty the number to get on board open line

1342
01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:07,360
Speaker 1: for you. We also will take your comments on the

1343
01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 1: tweet sheet, and Manny, I think on the tweet sheet

1344
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:13,439
Speaker 1: we're up to m Hannon. So who does m Hannon have?

1345
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:18,800
Speaker 1: M Hannon says Fluty naked bootleg against Jacksonville probably still

1346
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:21,559
Speaker 1: the best I've ever seen in person. So they're thinking

1347
01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:24,679
Speaker 1: on the same wavelength there. Question about it. Rusty said,

1348
01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:28,120
Speaker 1: I saw Leotis McKelvin have a ninety nine yard kickoff

1349
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:30,759
Speaker 1: return for a touchdown at the stadium, almost on command.

1350
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:34,720
Speaker 1: Josh's bomb to Foster against Jacksonville is up there. But

1351
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:37,360
Speaker 1: my first ever game was in ninety one against Philly.

1352
01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:40,439
Speaker 1: Saw the Bills have Cunningham dead to rights for his safety,

1353
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 1: only for him to escape and heave a ninety nine

1354
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,320
Speaker 1: yard touchdown. I mean, wow, I think it was ninety

1355
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:47,840
Speaker 1: five yards and it was to Fred Barnett. We're talking

1356
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:51,640
Speaker 1: about the best Bills play, not the opponents. You're killing me,

1357
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:57,559
Speaker 1: Rusty killing my mood here. I think, yeah. McKelvin had

1358
01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:00,439
Speaker 1: some returns for touchdowns here at the stadium. I remember

1359
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 1: a punt return distinctly that went about eighty something yards

1360
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:10,280
Speaker 1: that I want to say he had against It was

1361
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:13,800
Speaker 1: either the Rams. I want to say the Rams, but

1362
01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:15,360
Speaker 1: I'm not one hundred percent sure on that. When they

1363
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 1: were still playing in Saint Louis, I wrote down Josh's

1364
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 1: seventy five yard bomb to Robert Foster against Jacksonville in

1365
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:26,639
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. And the reason I put that one down,

1366
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:30,200
Speaker 1: Maddie is because he had a defensive tackle and a

1367
01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:34,400
Speaker 1: defensive end that he had to know was about to

1368
01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:38,400
Speaker 1: bury him, and he stepped into the throw anyway and

1369
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:42,360
Speaker 1: just took a monster shot in the pocket. And Robert Foster,

1370
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:45,599
Speaker 1: to his credit, made a pretty good catch because it

1371
01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:49,559
Speaker 1: was over his head. He's running towards the sideline, towards

1372
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:52,920
Speaker 1: the far sideline, the visiting sideline, and he has to

1373
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:56,400
Speaker 1: reach over and behind his head to catch the ball.

1374
01:12:56,439 --> 01:12:58,479
Speaker 1: He gets one hand on it and then closes it

1375
01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:01,320
Speaker 1: with the other hand, pulls it down all while never

1376
01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:03,519
Speaker 1: broke stride and went all the way to the end

1377
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:05,439
Speaker 1: zone because they had a safety cover and him on

1378
01:13:05,479 --> 01:13:08,479
Speaker 1: the play, he carried him across the field. He couldn't

1379
01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:10,599
Speaker 1: run with Robert because he's like a four to three guy.

1380
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:13,840
Speaker 1: It's seventy five yard touchdown. And also in that game,

1381
01:13:15,479 --> 01:13:18,280
Speaker 1: Josh had like a twenty yards scramble where he stiff

1382
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:21,960
Speaker 1: armed a defensive end, no big deal, and then ran

1383
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:24,759
Speaker 1: over his safety for a touchdown. And that's the famous

1384
01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:27,000
Speaker 1: touchdown where he's walking through the end zone and he's

1385
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:31,400
Speaker 1: flexing like the super Josh. It was. It was an

1386
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:35,439
Speaker 1: impressive performance by him. Jacksonville wasn't a super great team,

1387
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:40,160
Speaker 1: but still it was very encouraging to see him performing

1388
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:43,200
Speaker 1: like that. So that was cool. When I came to

1389
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 1: the Bills. That was one of the plays that people

1390
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:48,000
Speaker 1: had talked about from the season before, was that. Yeah,

1391
01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:51,080
Speaker 1: that huge pass to Robert Foster. And that's one of

1392
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:54,439
Speaker 1: the reasons for this year why Josh Allen is number

1393
01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:57,760
Speaker 1: two on her number three on Chris sims quarterback list,

1394
01:13:57,880 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 1: number two, number two. Yes, they only had a Rodgers. Yeah,

1395
01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:03,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers was number three, and Chris Simms did a

1396
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:08,559
Speaker 1: whole podcast explaining why Josh's number two and Aaron's number three,

1397
01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:12,520
Speaker 1: And one of the reasons was when a maybe linebacker

1398
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:16,960
Speaker 1: or safety is blitzing, or he has two defensive lineman

1399
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:19,200
Speaker 1: coming straight at him, you know, a quarterback may take

1400
01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:21,200
Speaker 1: the sack, or may take the easy route and just

1401
01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:24,439
Speaker 1: dump off a pass to someone who's open up in

1402
01:14:24,479 --> 01:14:27,679
Speaker 1: the flats. But it's guys like Josh Allen and Patrick

1403
01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:30,720
Speaker 1: Mahomes are the only two quarterbacks who can step into

1404
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:35,000
Speaker 1: the pocket when those two players and defensive tackles, you said,

1405
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:37,720
Speaker 1: are coming at him and throw seventy yard bombed down

1406
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:41,280
Speaker 1: the field and complete pass. Yeah, pretty cool. We'll go

1407
01:14:41,320 --> 01:14:43,120
Speaker 1: back to the phones. We'll get one more call in

1408
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:45,200
Speaker 1: here before the break, but we will get to everybody

1409
01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:48,720
Speaker 1: that's on hold at eight five fifty and we go

1410
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:51,920
Speaker 1: to Paul in Buffalo. Paul, what do you have for us?

1411
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:55,800
Speaker 1: You're on one. Bill's Live, Chris, and Marie says, take

1412
01:14:55,880 --> 01:15:00,120
Speaker 1: my call. Sure, that's the greatest play in Buffalo Bill's history. Okay,

1413
01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:04,240
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight, last game of the season, Bills versus

1414
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:06,760
Speaker 1: the Jets. The Bills when they go to the playoffs,

1415
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:11,600
Speaker 1: if they lose it, go home. Jets are driving on

1416
01:15:11,680 --> 01:15:14,519
Speaker 1: the third two yard line for a field goal. Dangers

1417
01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:18,760
Speaker 1: about over and Streddie Smerless blocks the field goal. Rich

1418
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:21,720
Speaker 1: game goes crazy, Fans mall the fields. What the goal

1419
01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 1: post down? Greatst play in Buffle Bill system. Yeah, it's

1420
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:27,280
Speaker 1: It's a big one, for sure, and the defense was

1421
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:29,479
Speaker 1: a big reason why that was a playoff team in

1422
01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:31,800
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight, even though that was a special teams

1423
01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:34,200
Speaker 1: play that you're referring to, Paul. But a good submission there,

1424
01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:38,759
Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah. Freddie Smerless with the block Bills beat,

1425
01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:42,919
Speaker 1: the Jets qualified for the playoffs, and the place literally

1426
01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:46,799
Speaker 1: went nuts. And that's I think that's where fandemonium started

1427
01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:51,719
Speaker 1: with when Van started coining that term. It's fandemonium because

1428
01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:54,160
Speaker 1: the fans spill out onto the field, they tear down

1429
01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,720
Speaker 1: the goal posts. The goal posts got as far as

1430
01:15:56,720 --> 01:16:00,240
Speaker 1: across the street they want to, like, I've had had

1431
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 1: fans tell me that we're at that game. They're driving home,

1432
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:08,040
Speaker 1: they're leaving the lot, they're going out Abbot Road, you know, north,

1433
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:10,080
Speaker 1: back to the city or the north towns or wherever.

1434
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:16,080
Speaker 1: And people have told me they're in traffic trying to

1435
01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:18,920
Speaker 1: get home. And they literally watched the field goal uprights

1436
01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:22,640
Speaker 1: across the street because people were carrying them out of

1437
01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:24,519
Speaker 1: the state. They got them up out of the bowl.

1438
01:16:25,439 --> 01:16:27,880
Speaker 1: I'm wondering how they got them up and over the

1439
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:31,840
Speaker 1: wall and out on the street. I mean, that's that

1440
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:34,559
Speaker 1: takes them doing teamwork. I've been a part of I've

1441
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:36,720
Speaker 1: been a part of a group who has who has

1442
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:40,479
Speaker 1: carried a goal post a mile into downtown Columbia, Missouri

1443
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:43,920
Speaker 1: when I was in college. So it can be done. Okay,

1444
01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:47,200
Speaker 1: So you you carried uprights from a Tigers game or yep,

1445
01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:52,240
Speaker 1: we played Oklahoma. We upset number one. Oklahoma was college

1446
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:54,920
Speaker 1: game day. We were ranked top ten and tore down

1447
01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:58,680
Speaker 1: the goal post, carried it into downtown, proceeded to go

1448
01:16:58,720 --> 01:17:01,320
Speaker 1: to a bar, got souse, and sought up the goal

1449
01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:04,120
Speaker 1: posts so everyone could have a little piece. I lost

1450
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:07,920
Speaker 1: my shoes. I was up for about forty yet those

1451
01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:11,000
Speaker 1: two days. How did you lose your shoes? There were

1452
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:13,680
Speaker 1: so many people walking through the streets carrying the two

1453
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:16,960
Speaker 1: goal posts. I had flip flops on, so stepped on.

1454
01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:20,240
Speaker 1: Lost my flip flops, but I was delirious by that point.

1455
01:17:20,240 --> 01:17:23,080
Speaker 1: It didn't matter. So they carried the thing out in

1456
01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:26,400
Speaker 1: its entirety, in one piece, in one piece, and you

1457
01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:31,040
Speaker 1: had to get it over some tall walls. Yeah, that's impressive. Well,

1458
01:17:31,080 --> 01:17:34,800
Speaker 1: bravo to you and your fellow Missouri fans. Yep, that's impressive.

1459
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:37,840
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I'm glad we got to that story.

Speaker 1: open line for you there though, as we are discussing

01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:43,679
Speaker 1: the best Bills plays, you have seen in person, either

1478
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:46,720
Speaker 1: here at him Mark Stadium or maybe it was called

1479
01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:48,519
Speaker 1: something else when you saw the play that you have

1480
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:51,479
Speaker 1: in mind, or on the road somewhere, maybe you attended

1481
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:54,040
Speaker 1: a road game. So we go back to the phones

1482
01:18:54,240 --> 01:18:56,280
Speaker 1: and we go to Larry and Buffalo. Larry, what do

1483
01:18:56,280 --> 01:19:00,880
Speaker 1: you have for us for best Bills play? My player

1484
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:03,360
Speaker 1: that I was an eleven year old kid at War

1485
01:19:03,439 --> 01:19:07,840
Speaker 1: Memorial Stadium at the Bills Chiefs Championship game, first player

1486
01:19:07,880 --> 01:19:11,439
Speaker 1: of the game, camp to debinion touchdown, and after that

1487
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:14,240
Speaker 1: it was all downhill. But that's the one that sticks

1488
01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:17,280
Speaker 1: in my mind. So why do you why do you

1489
01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:20,080
Speaker 1: remember it so fondly in a game that went so bad?

1490
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:22,960
Speaker 1: Was there something special about the play? Well? After an

1491
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:25,719
Speaker 1: eleven year old kid, I bought a ticket and all

1492
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:28,320
Speaker 1: those things, and I was just excited just to be

1493
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:32,280
Speaker 1: at that game, and I knew in my heart that

1494
01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:34,759
Speaker 1: the Bills We're going to win that game. But once again,

1495
01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:39,720
Speaker 1: it just went downhill after that. Mike Garrett ate us up. Yeah,

1496
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:43,880
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs were not successful going to the Super Bowls.

1497
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:46,160
Speaker 1: You know, they lost their packets, and I'm glad to

1498
01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:51,240
Speaker 1: see that. All right, fair enough, Larry, Hey, you're gonna

1499
01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:55,240
Speaker 1: disappoint me Chiefs, Well, let the Packers disappoint you. Take that.

1500
01:19:56,600 --> 01:19:59,000
Speaker 1: I get it. Um. Yeah. De Benion, I think is

1501
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:02,680
Speaker 1: a player that's still doesn't get the respect he deserves.

1502
01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:05,800
Speaker 1: And he's got a statistic that nobody is going to touch.

1503
01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:10,120
Speaker 1: Ever in Bill's history. He averaged twenty four yards a

1504
01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:14,479
Speaker 1: reception in nineteen sixty four. Now, granted it was only

1505
01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:19,640
Speaker 1: a ten week season back then. But I mean that's insane.

1506
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:22,080
Speaker 1: That is an insane number. I don't think anybody's touching.

1507
01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:24,280
Speaker 1: Good call Larry, and we thank you for it. Eight

1508
01:20:24,360 --> 01:20:27,080
Speaker 1: oh three, oh five fifty one eight eight five fifty

Speaker 1: two five fifty best bills play you've ever seen in person.

01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:34,960
Speaker 1: We go to FAS in Jamestown, Fas, What do you

1517
01:20:56,360 --> 01:20:58,000
Speaker 1: did a bunch of road trips. I got four of

1518
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:01,360
Speaker 1: them for your four big ones. Actually Number one and

1519
01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:05,559
Speaker 1: least is importance. When Trendwards got knocked out of the game,

1520
01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:10,479
Speaker 1: I believe it was in two thousand and eight. He

1521
01:21:10,560 --> 01:21:13,240
Speaker 1: got knocked out by a Cardinals linebacker and lastman came

1522
01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:15,360
Speaker 1: in first play just whipp blent out to Evans for

1523
01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:18,679
Speaker 1: about eighty yards. We still got We still lost the game,

1524
01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:22,639
Speaker 1: but again in Phoenix still nineteen ninety nine, we were

1525
01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:26,000
Speaker 1: clinging onto a lead and Henry Jones picked up a

1526
01:21:26,080 --> 01:21:28,040
Speaker 1: similar to what I happened last year, picked up an

1527
01:21:28,040 --> 01:21:29,400
Speaker 1: on site kick and ran it all the way in

1528
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:33,040
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. I remember that play and then again

1529
01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:37,400
Speaker 1: in twenty twelve, kay Feely hit that chip shot thirty

1530
01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:39,800
Speaker 1: arm hit the sixty yar field goal to send the

1531
01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:43,439
Speaker 1: game is overtime, and then he missed the thirty yarder

1532
01:21:43,479 --> 01:21:45,680
Speaker 1: in overtime. We drove down, got the field goal and win.

1533
01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:50,519
Speaker 1: But the most important is nineteen ninety one and Steve

1534
01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:53,320
Speaker 1: Tesker stoles and me an autograph for this was Al

1535
01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:57,920
Speaker 1: Edwards on a kickoff on the Cloudy Game where Scott,

1536
01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:01,639
Speaker 1: in order believe, missed at least recombination of extra points

1537
01:22:01,720 --> 01:22:05,280
Speaker 1: and field goals, but Al Edwards picked one up kickoff,

1538
01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:07,200
Speaker 1: ran a back ninety one yards and the Bills ended

1539
01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:10,200
Speaker 1: up winning the game. The game was important because on

1540
01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:12,960
Speaker 1: the cover of Sports Illustrated that year were the Big

1541
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:15,519
Speaker 1: Bad Bills and they had Schrader by the face mask

1542
01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:18,000
Speaker 1: and that was one of the I think poets are

1543
01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:22,439
Speaker 1: printing prize winning pictures, but the saw running across the

1544
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:26,439
Speaker 1: coliseum towards us in our way supernose police Seats was

1545
01:22:26,479 --> 01:22:29,160
Speaker 1: probably one of the best players I've ever seen in life. Yeah,

1546
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:33,320
Speaker 1: and so you're out in La watching that game. Yeah.

1547
01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:36,000
Speaker 1: My club I started in the nineties. What we would

1548
01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:37,879
Speaker 1: do is get a bunch of us together from Tucson

1549
01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:40,920
Speaker 1: and we would travel to see We saw the Bills

1550
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:44,880
Speaker 1: in the in the coliseum. By the way, Watt's great neighborhood.

1551
01:22:44,920 --> 01:22:49,759
Speaker 1: Buy some property there. It's phenomenal. They were burning Bills flags.

1552
01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:51,040
Speaker 1: On the other side of the wall. They kept the

1553
01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:54,439
Speaker 1: Raiders stands in the Bills fans separate. We saw him

1554
01:22:54,439 --> 01:22:57,120
Speaker 1: in San Francisco when Lee wood All ran that fumble

1555
01:22:57,160 --> 01:23:00,559
Speaker 1: back from Cargo Gardner in ninety five. Who saw Ryan

1556
01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 1: Leech's first game against the Bills, which we lost. We

1557
01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:06,040
Speaker 1: lost to him up in Seattle. See you next. We

1558
01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:08,920
Speaker 1: traveled all over and most of the times we have

1559
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:11,599
Speaker 1: been good, but in the beginning they weren't so hot. Yeah.

1560
01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:14,479
Speaker 1: That's a special building though. To watch a great Bills

1561
01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:18,240
Speaker 1: play in a building as iconic as the LA Coliseum,

1562
01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:21,680
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. One. I gotta say that. Do you

1563
01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:23,640
Speaker 1: want to know what catches me, Maddie? With all our

1564
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:27,840
Speaker 1: callers today, they remember everything it's not just the play.

1565
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:30,080
Speaker 1: He's talking about how it was a cloudy he remembers

1566
01:23:30,080 --> 01:23:34,519
Speaker 1: the weather. I can't remember those kinds of details. I'm

1567
01:23:34,560 --> 01:23:37,200
Speaker 1: not good at that. I can remember details like that,

1568
01:23:37,360 --> 01:23:41,280
Speaker 1: I cannot remember when it comes to specific plays, and like,

1569
01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:44,800
Speaker 1: I'm terrible. My memory is so bad when it's like

1570
01:23:45,240 --> 01:23:47,400
Speaker 1: if you were like, oh, what do you remember this

1571
01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:52,080
Speaker 1: game from Week five last season? When this specific play? Nope,

1572
01:23:52,120 --> 01:23:55,160
Speaker 1: I don't remember it. I remember the big time moments,

1573
01:23:55,560 --> 01:23:58,040
Speaker 1: and I if I can associate it with something or

1574
01:23:58,040 --> 01:24:00,679
Speaker 1: tied to something else, then I remember any more. Yeah,

1575
01:24:00,680 --> 01:24:02,519
Speaker 1: but he's talking about a game in nineteen ninety one.

1576
01:24:02,560 --> 01:24:06,120
Speaker 1: He's telling us what the weather now. That's so far

1577
01:24:06,280 --> 01:24:09,800
Speaker 1: beyond what my mind can do. That's incredible. I love

1578
01:24:09,840 --> 01:24:12,840
Speaker 1: that our fans have that grade of memories when it

1579
01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:16,000
Speaker 1: comes to some of their favorite plays that they remember

1580
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:18,280
Speaker 1: they can tie it to. I know exactly what I

1581
01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:21,040
Speaker 1: wore that day, I know exactly what I ate, I

1582
01:24:21,120 --> 01:24:23,479
Speaker 1: know exactly how the weather was. I remember the people

1583
01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:26,840
Speaker 1: sitting next to me or around me. That's a memory

1584
01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:29,240
Speaker 1: like a steel trap, one I sadly do not have.

1585
01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:33,080
Speaker 1: Let's go to Frank in Tonawanda next Frank, what do

1586
01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:34,760
Speaker 1: you have for us? You're on one Bills Live, Best

1587
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:37,600
Speaker 1: Bills Play. What do you got? Okay, there's gonna be

1588
01:24:37,640 --> 01:24:39,559
Speaker 1: a little anstris at the end of the story, but

1589
01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:43,360
Speaker 1: it's a great story. Nineteen seventy four, my father took

1590
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:48,200
Speaker 1: me to my first Bills game Monday night, Opening Day,

1591
01:24:48,840 --> 01:24:53,000
Speaker 1: and we're at the game, great game. Two minutes up

1592
01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:55,840
Speaker 1: in the game builds up fourteen and thirteen and the

1593
01:24:55,920 --> 01:24:59,559
Speaker 1: Raiders have like one time outlet. So my father wants

1594
01:24:59,560 --> 01:25:02,320
Speaker 1: the beach ethic, so he says, we're gonna leave son

1595
01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:06,800
Speaker 1: at fourteen thirteen. No, but the Bills had the ball.

1596
01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:09,320
Speaker 1: Bills had the ball two minutes left, Raiders had one

1597
01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:12,320
Speaker 1: time out. Okay, So my father said, well, you know

1598
01:25:12,360 --> 01:25:15,320
Speaker 1: the game's over, We're gonna go be traffic. We took

1599
01:25:15,320 --> 01:25:18,400
Speaker 1: the Arkansas Lounge bus, so he wanted to go get

1600
01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:21,120
Speaker 1: on the bus before all. All the fans are started

1601
01:25:21,160 --> 01:25:23,760
Speaker 1: pouring out. So we're walking out of the stadium and

1602
01:25:23,880 --> 01:25:26,200
Speaker 1: I hear a big groan from the crowd. It turns

1603
01:25:26,200 --> 01:25:30,160
Speaker 1: out Jim Braxton fumbles, Raiders picked it up, running in

1604
01:25:30,200 --> 01:25:32,800
Speaker 1: for a touchdown, go up twenty to fourteen with a

1605
01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:35,720
Speaker 1: minute and a half left. Now I'm in tears. I

1606
01:25:35,760 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 1: start crying on foteing years old, like, I can't believe

1607
01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:40,439
Speaker 1: you made me leave the game. So he goes all

1608
01:25:40,479 --> 01:25:43,000
Speaker 1: he lost anyway. So now we're walking and there's a

1609
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:45,400
Speaker 1: guy with a radio on the way to the bus,

1610
01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:49,680
Speaker 1: and don't you know, Ferguson drives down eighty yards in

1611
01:25:49,720 --> 01:25:52,000
Speaker 1: a minute twelve and hits a moderate shower with a

1612
01:25:52,040 --> 01:25:54,760
Speaker 1: winning touchdown with two seconds up in the game, and

1613
01:25:54,760 --> 01:25:58,280
Speaker 1: they won twenty one twenty on Monday nightctually. No, I'm

1614
01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:01,080
Speaker 1: Monday Night football. Actually what happened? There was a bot

1615
01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:04,080
Speaker 1: I think there's about twenty seconds left, and the Raiders

1616
01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:06,760
Speaker 1: got the ball after George Blandon missed a fifty yard

1617
01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:08,160
Speaker 1: field goal at the end of the game, and the

1618
01:26:08,240 --> 01:26:11,280
Speaker 1: Bills won twenty one twenty. I was in the Arkansas

1619
01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:13,799
Speaker 1: Lounge bus at the time, listening to her on the radio.

1620
01:26:14,280 --> 01:26:16,479
Speaker 1: I told my father I'd never go to another game

1621
01:26:16,479 --> 01:26:19,400
Speaker 1: with him again. I never did, and I never did.

1622
01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:23,920
Speaker 1: I can't believe he's out hold on a second. So

1623
01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:26,200
Speaker 1: here's the thing that bugs me, all right, because we've

1624
01:26:26,240 --> 01:26:28,880
Speaker 1: all heard of dads that have done this. Yes, you know,

1625
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:32,040
Speaker 1: gotta beat the tracks. We're gonna leave the game early.

1626
01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:35,439
Speaker 1: Everybody know if they didn't have a dad that did that,

1627
01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:38,439
Speaker 1: they know a dad that did that. And my question

1628
01:26:38,479 --> 01:26:41,160
Speaker 1: to you is, if you guys rode the bus to

1629
01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:46,519
Speaker 1: the game, you're not leaving until everybody's out anyway. Yeah, Well,

1630
01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:49,280
Speaker 1: like I said, I was thirteen, so I had Yeah,

1631
01:26:49,320 --> 01:26:50,960
Speaker 1: I had to listen to what he wants. Yeah, yeah,

1632
01:26:50,960 --> 01:26:54,880
Speaker 1: I get that, but I don't understand the logic, like

1633
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:56,439
Speaker 1: did he want to get a good seat on the

1634
01:26:56,479 --> 01:26:59,640
Speaker 1: bus because the buses isn't leaving until everybody's out. He

1635
01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:01,920
Speaker 1: just didn't feel like walking with all tons of people.

1636
01:27:03,160 --> 01:27:05,120
Speaker 1: You want to take this time to walk. But Chris,

1637
01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:08,000
Speaker 1: I'll tell you there's there's a good part to this

1638
01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:12,800
Speaker 1: story because because of that incident, I didn't leave the

1639
01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:17,519
Speaker 1: Bills Oilers thirty five to three game, and my friends

1640
01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:19,519
Speaker 1: wanted to leave and they were pissed off at me

1641
01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:22,439
Speaker 1: because I wouldn't leave and I stayed. So thanks to

1642
01:27:22,479 --> 01:27:25,040
Speaker 1: my father, I actually got to witness that whole game,

1643
01:27:25,040 --> 01:27:27,160
Speaker 1: all right, So there's the silver lining. Well, thanks for

1644
01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:29,320
Speaker 1: bringing it all around h home there, Frank, that's a

1645
01:27:29,360 --> 01:27:31,040
Speaker 1: good call. Thank you very much for making it. We

1646
01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:35,360
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Um Man, oh man, I'd be mad at

1647
01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:40,560
Speaker 1: my dad for you missed the Amad Rashad catch in

1648
01:27:40,600 --> 01:27:44,559
Speaker 1: the end zone on Monday Night football. What are you doing?

1649
01:27:45,439 --> 01:27:48,640
Speaker 1: I can't believe that that is unreal? All right, we

1650
01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:52,040
Speaker 1: have to take a break here. When we come back, though,

1651
01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:56,559
Speaker 1: we have an interesting development. Maybe you heard of the

1652
01:27:56,800 --> 01:27:59,920
Speaker 1: sign holder at the start of the tour to front.

1653
01:28:01,120 --> 01:28:04,920
Speaker 1: The woman is in deep yogurt, but she's on the lamp.

1654
01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:09,000
Speaker 1: There's a man hunt to try to find her somewhere

1655
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:12,559
Speaker 1: in Europe. We will explain next here on One Bill's

01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:15,760
Speaker 1: latest story weird weird stuff coming out of the Tour

1669
01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:18,559
Speaker 1: de France. Don't know if anybody saw this video recently,

1670
01:29:19,040 --> 01:29:22,040
Speaker 1: but right as the stage one of Tour de France

1671
01:29:22,120 --> 01:29:24,320
Speaker 1: was about to start, there was a fan on the

1672
01:29:24,320 --> 01:29:26,280
Speaker 1: side of the road and they're really close to the

1673
01:29:26,280 --> 01:29:31,240
Speaker 1: track or the street, almost too close. Sometimes you know

1674
01:29:31,960 --> 01:29:34,879
Speaker 1: where where are the like, where's the gate or anything

1675
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:39,479
Speaker 1: to keep them Well, yeah, the course runs through a

1676
01:29:39,520 --> 01:29:42,800
Speaker 1: lot of residential and rural areas of France, true, and

1677
01:29:42,840 --> 01:29:44,519
Speaker 1: so fans can just line up on the side of

1678
01:29:44,560 --> 01:29:47,400
Speaker 1: the road and I think they forget. Sometimes these guys

1679
01:29:47,400 --> 01:29:50,200
Speaker 1: are balancing on two very narrow wheels and they're in

1680
01:29:50,280 --> 01:29:53,280
Speaker 1: very close proximity to one another. So this lady decides

1681
01:29:53,280 --> 01:29:55,360
Speaker 1: she's going to get her sign on television. So she's

1682
01:29:55,400 --> 01:29:58,800
Speaker 1: hanging out over the road, not facing the riders. She

1683
01:29:58,840 --> 01:30:01,840
Speaker 1: doesn't realize they're coming her way. She knocks over the

1684
01:30:01,840 --> 01:30:03,600
Speaker 1: first guy on the side of the closest to the

1685
01:30:03,600 --> 01:30:07,600
Speaker 1: side of the road, sets off a chain reaction. Eleven

1686
01:30:07,680 --> 01:30:12,840
Speaker 1: riders pile up. It's a disaster. One guy could not

1687
01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:17,200
Speaker 1: continue racing because of his injuries completely out of the

1688
01:30:17,240 --> 01:30:20,479
Speaker 1: tour after training for it for god knows how long.

1689
01:30:20,520 --> 01:30:22,960
Speaker 1: It's a big pilot. It was a mess. Oh my god,

1690
01:30:23,040 --> 01:30:26,519
Speaker 1: it was an absolute mess. So they knew that the

1691
01:30:26,560 --> 01:30:32,280
Speaker 1: woman was a German national in France watching the event

1692
01:30:32,320 --> 01:30:34,919
Speaker 1: and trying to get her sign on TV, which essentially

1693
01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:40,839
Speaker 1: was translated to go grandpa, grandpa, So don't know who. Yeah,

1694
01:30:41,040 --> 01:30:43,840
Speaker 1: I made I made a sign. One time I talked

1695
01:30:43,840 --> 01:30:46,559
Speaker 1: about Miszoo being on game day, Well, I made a sign.

1696
01:30:46,640 --> 01:30:49,840
Speaker 1: We waited overnight to get to the area where you

1697
01:30:49,840 --> 01:30:53,160
Speaker 1: could have your sign and be shown on my sign. Yeah,

1698
01:30:53,200 --> 01:30:56,000
Speaker 1: on college game day. My sign said Lee Corso is

1699
01:30:56,040 --> 01:30:59,400
Speaker 1: my grandpa. He's not my grandpa, but yeah, go gram,

1700
01:30:59,479 --> 01:31:01,559
Speaker 1: go gram and grandpa. But I thought that would get

1701
01:31:01,560 --> 01:31:04,840
Speaker 1: the proper attention and it did. So maybe this girl

1702
01:31:04,960 --> 01:31:09,519
Speaker 1: just thought ala opiomi yeah, which is loosely translated to

1703
01:31:09,520 --> 01:31:11,200
Speaker 1: go grandma grandpa. I mean, that's a sign you put

1704
01:31:11,240 --> 01:31:15,760
Speaker 1: together when you're six. In any event, the most interesting

1705
01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:18,840
Speaker 1: part of this story is there is a hunt going

1706
01:31:18,920 --> 01:31:21,720
Speaker 1: on for this woman because the tour wants to see her,

1707
01:31:21,800 --> 01:31:24,839
Speaker 1: claiming that the accident resulted in lost revenue for the event.

1708
01:31:25,479 --> 01:31:29,160
Speaker 1: We are suing this woman who behaved so badly toward

1709
01:31:29,200 --> 01:31:34,200
Speaker 1: to France. Deputy director Pierre v Loot told the French press.

1710
01:31:34,760 --> 01:31:39,360
Speaker 1: The problem is they can't find her. So the theory

1711
01:31:39,439 --> 01:31:42,080
Speaker 1: here is she hopped a flight out of France is

1712
01:31:42,120 --> 01:31:44,719
Speaker 1: probably back in Germany. Now they have to contact German

1713
01:31:44,720 --> 01:31:47,519
Speaker 1: authorities try to track this lady down. I don't think

1714
01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:52,479
Speaker 1: they have an accurate description of her because, if I

1715
01:31:52,520 --> 01:31:58,320
Speaker 1: remember right, the gas in the hat, sunglasses and a

1716
01:31:58,360 --> 01:32:02,240
Speaker 1: hat on. She's in the sky and she gets whacked.

1717
01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:05,000
Speaker 1: She's got a yellow raincoat on, sunglasses and a hat.

1718
01:32:05,280 --> 01:32:09,120
Speaker 1: So best of luck finding her. I don't know how

1719
01:32:09,120 --> 01:32:11,360
Speaker 1: they're going to track her down in all of Europe,

1720
01:32:11,360 --> 01:32:16,240
Speaker 1: and if they do, I'll be very impressed. Um, I

1721
01:32:16,280 --> 01:32:18,519
Speaker 1: don't know how they're gonna find her. You can find.

1722
01:32:18,600 --> 01:32:19,920
Speaker 1: It's like a needle in a haystack. How are you

1723
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:24,400
Speaker 1: finding that lady? Yeah, finding her unless somebody identified knows

1724
01:32:24,439 --> 01:32:28,439
Speaker 1: who she is. Somebody sees her on the video. Yeah.

1725
01:32:28,479 --> 01:32:30,160
Speaker 1: I think if you put it out on Twitter and

1726
01:32:30,200 --> 01:32:32,920
Speaker 1: you're like, hey, we're looking for this woman Twitter and

1727
01:32:33,040 --> 01:32:37,320
Speaker 1: social media, it reaches enough people where I'm sure someone

1728
01:32:37,479 --> 01:32:40,240
Speaker 1: knows who this person is or is tied to this

1729
01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:44,679
Speaker 1: person in some way, shape or form. But yeah, it's

1730
01:32:44,760 --> 01:32:47,600
Speaker 1: weird that she is I guess now is on the

1731
01:32:47,680 --> 01:32:51,439
Speaker 1: run and you don't you don't want to mess with

1732
01:32:51,479 --> 01:32:53,040
Speaker 1: the Tour de France at the end of the day.

1733
01:32:53,080 --> 01:32:55,080
Speaker 1: That's what that's what we live today. That is the

1734
01:32:55,160 --> 01:32:58,559
Speaker 1: lesson we are presenting here today on the lamb from

1735
01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:02,439
Speaker 1: a bicycle tour. That is a first. Uh, that is

1736
01:33:02,439 --> 01:33:04,760
Speaker 1: a first. I want to see how far this goes, Like,

1737
01:33:04,960 --> 01:33:07,960
Speaker 1: is Interpol gonna get involved? Are we gonna like how

1738
01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:09,479
Speaker 1: far are we going to take this? Start going to

1739
01:33:09,560 --> 01:33:14,080
Speaker 1: door to door knocking on? So, yeah, it will keep

1740
01:33:14,080 --> 01:33:15,880
Speaker 1: an eye on this because I am very interested to

1741
01:33:15,880 --> 01:33:19,360
Speaker 1: see where that thing ends up because it's definitely unique.

1742
01:33:19,760 --> 01:33:21,920
Speaker 1: And I wonder how far the tour goes, how many

1743
01:33:21,960 --> 01:33:24,640
Speaker 1: they've already claimed lost revenue, how many resources are they

1744
01:33:24,680 --> 01:33:27,080
Speaker 1: going to spend to try to track this lady down

1745
01:33:27,160 --> 01:33:29,280
Speaker 1: to make sure it doesn't happen again. How about putting

1746
01:33:29,320 --> 01:33:33,439
Speaker 1: some ropes up along the most highly attended fan areas

1747
01:33:33,439 --> 01:33:35,760
Speaker 1: of the course. How about that? Because it looks like

1748
01:33:36,520 --> 01:33:38,679
Speaker 1: aunt of people wasn't like she was on her own

1749
01:33:38,720 --> 01:33:42,320
Speaker 1: and with a couple other people watching the bikers go by,

1750
01:33:42,520 --> 01:33:44,880
Speaker 1: and it's a common occurrence. I mean, year after year

1751
01:33:44,920 --> 01:33:48,719
Speaker 1: you see these crowds, you know, huddled along the side

1752
01:33:48,720 --> 01:33:51,120
Speaker 1: of the roads, and these guys are screaming down mountains

1753
01:33:51,160 --> 01:33:53,719
Speaker 1: at like forty fifty miles an hour on two wheels.

1754
01:33:53,720 --> 01:33:55,439
Speaker 1: It's like, I'm not standing by the side of the road.

1755
01:33:55,479 --> 01:33:58,280
Speaker 1: This guy spills, I'm dead meat. I'm not doing that.

1756
01:33:58,880 --> 01:34:02,240
Speaker 1: So what they're thinking, God only knows. We have to

1757
01:34:02,280 --> 01:34:04,840
Speaker 1: take a break because when we come back, we will

1758
01:34:04,880 --> 01:34:08,240
Speaker 1: be joined by NFL writer for The Athletic Robert Mayes,

1759
01:34:08,680 --> 01:34:11,559
Speaker 1: who also has a podcast which we'll talk about as well.

1760
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:14,920
Speaker 1: He believes the Bills have one of the best top

1761
01:34:14,960 --> 01:34:18,000
Speaker 1: to bottom rosters in the league for twenty twenty one.

1762
01:34:18,040 --> 01:34:21,799
Speaker 1: We'll discuss that with him and other things NFL related

1763
01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:24,280
Speaker 1: when we return Here on One Bills Live, presented by

1764
01:34:24,320 --> 01:34:43,799
Speaker 1: Kaloid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. At a Steve

1765
01:34:44,080 --> 01:34:46,920
Speaker 1: Tasker who has been all all of our fields. Kind

1766
01:34:46,960 --> 01:34:48,759
Speaker 1: of unique. He was kind of a dual role player

1767
01:34:48,840 --> 01:34:54,920
Speaker 1: for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

1768
01:34:54,960 --> 01:35:01,519
Speaker 1: the stratedere of normalcy. Welcome to our number three of

1769
01:35:01,560 --> 01:35:04,000
Speaker 1: a Tuesday edition of One Bills Live, Chris Brown, Maddy

1770
01:35:04,080 --> 01:35:07,760
Speaker 1: glab with you, and please to be joined now by

1771
01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:10,839
Speaker 1: NFL writer for the Athletic host of The Athletic Football

1772
01:35:10,880 --> 01:35:15,559
Speaker 1: Show podcast. It is one Robert May's joining us here

1773
01:35:15,560 --> 01:35:17,479
Speaker 1: for our number three the show. Robert, how are you doing?

1774
01:35:17,600 --> 01:35:20,840
Speaker 1: Thanks for giving us some time here. I'm doing well.

1775
01:35:20,920 --> 01:35:23,519
Speaker 1: I appreciate you guys having me. Yeah, so we wanted

1776
01:35:23,560 --> 01:35:26,840
Speaker 1: to start here. I know recently put together a piece

1777
01:35:26,840 --> 01:35:30,880
Speaker 1: on the Bucks and how they kept their roster intact.

1778
01:35:32,120 --> 01:35:35,120
Speaker 1: I think you deduced through some research that they brought

1779
01:35:35,120 --> 01:35:38,720
Speaker 1: back more starters than any other Super Bowl champ in decades.

1780
01:35:39,160 --> 01:35:41,360
Speaker 1: But we also know that it's very hard to repeat

1781
01:35:41,400 --> 01:35:46,360
Speaker 1: in this league. So is it gonna payoff for them

1782
01:35:46,479 --> 01:35:49,519
Speaker 1: to put all the pieces back together and try a

1783
01:35:49,560 --> 01:35:52,880
Speaker 1: second kick at the can? Here? One of the reasons

1784
01:35:52,880 --> 01:35:55,200
Speaker 1: I think it's a particular advantage this season, it's just

1785
01:35:55,240 --> 01:35:57,680
Speaker 1: because a lot of other teams lost talent. A lot

1786
01:35:57,720 --> 01:35:59,720
Speaker 1: of other teams kind of hemorrhage talent because the cop

1787
01:35:59,760 --> 01:36:02,720
Speaker 1: went down. So it's almost even more of an outlier

1788
01:36:02,800 --> 01:36:05,519
Speaker 1: because the financial hoops they had to jump through were

1789
01:36:05,600 --> 01:36:08,000
Speaker 1: so difficult. You know, we did a rundown a couple

1790
01:36:08,080 --> 01:36:10,479
Speaker 1: days ago on The Athletic Football Show, just looking at

1791
01:36:10,479 --> 01:36:12,840
Speaker 1: the best rosters in the league. Who has the best roster?

1792
01:36:13,360 --> 01:36:15,400
Speaker 1: And most of the other teams that were up near

1793
01:36:15,439 --> 01:36:17,600
Speaker 1: the top of the league didn't get much better this

1794
01:36:17,680 --> 01:36:21,400
Speaker 1: offseason simply because of financial constraints and resources, and the

1795
01:36:21,439 --> 01:36:24,800
Speaker 1: Bucks didn't lose anybody. So it feels like their gap

1796
01:36:24,960 --> 01:36:28,760
Speaker 1: between teams like the Packers, between the Saints, even a

1797
01:36:28,760 --> 01:36:30,880
Speaker 1: team like the Bills is bigger than it would be

1798
01:36:30,920 --> 01:36:33,040
Speaker 1: in a typical offseason, just because they were willing to

1799
01:36:33,160 --> 01:36:35,559
Speaker 1: kick the financial can down the road. But I think

1800
01:36:35,600 --> 01:36:39,240
Speaker 1: we understand that just having the best roster doesn't guarantee

1801
01:36:39,280 --> 01:36:41,400
Speaker 1: you anything. I mean, this is the healthiest team in

1802
01:36:41,400 --> 01:36:44,679
Speaker 1: the NFL last year according to football outsiders. That's probably

1803
01:36:44,680 --> 01:36:47,559
Speaker 1: not going to happen again. Health luck typically isn't sticky

1804
01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:49,960
Speaker 1: from season to season. It's a lot more volatile than that.

1805
01:36:50,080 --> 01:36:53,080
Speaker 1: So there are so many different factors that stand between

1806
01:36:53,120 --> 01:36:55,879
Speaker 1: them and repeating. But I will say they've set themselves

1807
01:36:55,920 --> 01:36:58,640
Speaker 1: up better than really almost any other defending champ in

1808
01:36:58,680 --> 01:37:01,240
Speaker 1: the last decade, especially in a season where a lot

1809
01:37:01,320 --> 01:37:04,400
Speaker 1: of other teams couldn't add talent for various reasons. Yeah,

1810
01:37:04,400 --> 01:37:06,320
Speaker 1: when a lot of teams were figuring out, all right,

1811
01:37:06,360 --> 01:37:09,360
Speaker 1: who can we afford, who do we have to let go?

1812
01:37:09,720 --> 01:37:12,519
Speaker 1: Who can we bring on in free agency with a

1813
01:37:12,560 --> 01:37:14,639
Speaker 1: lower cap number? This year, you said the Bucks kick

1814
01:37:14,680 --> 01:37:16,200
Speaker 1: the can down the road when it comes to their

1815
01:37:16,240 --> 01:37:19,479
Speaker 1: financial burden, and the Bills several players were willing to

1816
01:37:19,520 --> 01:37:22,120
Speaker 1: take less to be a part of this special team,

1817
01:37:22,160 --> 01:37:25,800
Speaker 1: a part of hopefully the next few special years where

1818
01:37:25,840 --> 01:37:27,800
Speaker 1: they can make a run at the Super Bowl. So

1819
01:37:27,840 --> 01:37:30,120
Speaker 1: how do you see that continuity like you talked about

1820
01:37:30,160 --> 01:37:32,559
Speaker 1: with the Bucks maybe helping the Bills in a year

1821
01:37:32,720 --> 01:37:35,120
Speaker 1: where you see a big gap of teams who really

1822
01:37:35,160 --> 01:37:38,040
Speaker 1: couldn't afford to keep their core intact in the twenty

1823
01:37:38,120 --> 01:37:41,920
Speaker 1: twenty one season. I think it's a huge help, especially offensively,

1824
01:37:42,040 --> 01:37:44,320
Speaker 1: and when you can start building on what you've started

1825
01:37:44,320 --> 01:37:46,439
Speaker 1: to put together on that side of the ball, it's

1826
01:37:46,479 --> 01:37:49,840
Speaker 1: so helpful. I mean, you have every single person associated

1827
01:37:49,840 --> 01:37:52,320
Speaker 1: with that starting eleven has fluency and what they're trying

1828
01:37:52,360 --> 01:37:54,720
Speaker 1: to do all offensively, and they can really start to

1829
01:37:54,720 --> 01:37:56,920
Speaker 1: build on that. And then you just need little tiny

1830
01:37:56,960 --> 01:37:59,439
Speaker 1: tweaks here and there. Emmanuel Sanders is just a little

1831
01:37:59,680 --> 01:38:01,799
Speaker 1: ingreed that you didn't have last year and it feels

1832
01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:04,200
Speaker 1: like the defense is kind of similar. You bring back

1833
01:38:04,240 --> 01:38:06,800
Speaker 1: the entire core. You had a couple pass rushers early

1834
01:38:06,840 --> 01:38:08,639
Speaker 1: in the draft, and that's what I think the Bills

1835
01:38:08,640 --> 01:38:10,200
Speaker 1: should be doing. You know, this is a team that

1836
01:38:10,240 --> 01:38:12,960
Speaker 1: was right on the doorstep last year has made really

1837
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:16,240
Speaker 1: noticeable strides. You don't have to reinvent anything. I think

1838
01:38:16,240 --> 01:38:18,880
Speaker 1: it's just about building on what you've already started there,

1839
01:38:19,080 --> 01:38:21,240
Speaker 1: and that seemed to be the exact approach that they

1840
01:38:21,280 --> 01:38:24,080
Speaker 1: wanted to take this spring. And I think, if memory

1841
01:38:24,120 --> 01:38:26,720
Speaker 1: serves in one of your recent podcast episodes, you did

1842
01:38:27,160 --> 01:38:29,599
Speaker 1: have the Bills as one of the teams that you

1843
01:38:29,640 --> 01:38:32,840
Speaker 1: guys failed head one of the stronger top to bottom

1844
01:38:32,920 --> 01:38:36,360
Speaker 1: rosters in the league. Right absolutely. I mean, I think

1845
01:38:36,360 --> 01:38:38,599
Speaker 1: there are a few noticeable holes on that team. They've

1846
01:38:38,600 --> 01:38:41,479
Speaker 1: done such a good job of building that group. I mean,

1847
01:38:41,479 --> 01:38:44,479
Speaker 1: I think everything about the offense is so indicative of

1848
01:38:44,520 --> 01:38:47,400
Speaker 1: their process and their plan. The way that they've kind

1849
01:38:47,439 --> 01:38:51,720
Speaker 1: of thrown so many modest resources at the offensive line,

1850
01:38:51,760 --> 01:38:55,200
Speaker 1: where you're spending smaller free agent deals, but you're really

1851
01:38:55,439 --> 01:38:57,599
Speaker 1: rolling the dice a bunch of different times. The way

1852
01:38:57,640 --> 01:38:59,840
Speaker 1: they put together the receiving core is so interesting to

1853
01:38:59,880 --> 01:39:02,400
Speaker 1: me where you have these mid tier free agent deals

1854
01:39:02,400 --> 01:39:04,559
Speaker 1: like Holbeasley, but then you make the big trade for

1855
01:39:04,560 --> 01:39:07,360
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs, you have guys in house like Gabriel Davis.

1856
01:39:07,400 --> 01:39:10,960
Speaker 1: It's just such an exercise and excellent team building. And

1857
01:39:11,000 --> 01:39:12,600
Speaker 1: I think that's a credit to what Brandon Breen and

1858
01:39:12,640 --> 01:39:15,800
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott have done, and to your point, to the

1859
01:39:15,840 --> 01:39:17,640
Speaker 1: culture that they've created, the fact that there are so

1860
01:39:17,680 --> 01:39:19,760
Speaker 1: many guys who want to stick around, who want to

1861
01:39:19,800 --> 01:39:21,920
Speaker 1: be a part of that. I mean, Buffalo has become

1862
01:39:21,960 --> 01:39:24,880
Speaker 1: a destination for players not only to go, but to stay,

1863
01:39:25,200 --> 01:39:27,720
Speaker 1: and I think that's why you see the amount of

1864
01:39:27,760 --> 01:39:30,759
Speaker 1: talent just lying that roster right now. I think another

1865
01:39:30,760 --> 01:39:33,439
Speaker 1: reason why this place is such a destination is because

1866
01:39:33,560 --> 01:39:36,479
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has been an environment where he can grow

1867
01:39:36,760 --> 01:39:39,840
Speaker 1: with the same people he's been a part of. Sean

1868
01:39:39,920 --> 01:39:43,080
Speaker 1: McDermott since he came in, Sean's not going anywhere, Brian

1869
01:39:43,200 --> 01:39:46,960
Speaker 1: Dave ball Ken, Dorsey, Shay Tierney, all of these coaches

1870
01:39:47,040 --> 01:39:49,760
Speaker 1: around Josh Allen who have been able to install this

1871
01:39:49,920 --> 01:39:52,680
Speaker 1: offense with him, work with him and from year to

1872
01:39:52,840 --> 01:39:55,600
Speaker 1: year pick apart add in things you know you like

1873
01:39:55,760 --> 01:39:57,960
Speaker 1: this more, we'll put this in the offense for you

1874
01:39:58,040 --> 01:40:01,120
Speaker 1: this year, And you look at Brian Dayball being such

1875
01:40:01,160 --> 01:40:05,080
Speaker 1: a player's coach, as someone who the offense just raves

1876
01:40:05,200 --> 01:40:07,360
Speaker 1: about and loves that he's a part of this team.

1877
01:40:07,400 --> 01:40:09,760
Speaker 1: He's someone who could have gotten a head coaching job

1878
01:40:09,800 --> 01:40:12,720
Speaker 1: this past offseason and might in the future. But the

1879
01:40:12,760 --> 01:40:14,840
Speaker 1: fact that Josh has been able to be with Brian

1880
01:40:14,920 --> 01:40:19,400
Speaker 1: Dayball for those first three years of his NFL careers,

1881
01:40:19,520 --> 01:40:22,000
Speaker 1: how do you think that's helped Brian day Ball really

1882
01:40:22,080 --> 01:40:25,760
Speaker 1: find the type of offensive coordinator he is and the

1883
01:40:25,800 --> 01:40:29,240
Speaker 1: type of offensive coordinator that works in the NFL, especially

1884
01:40:29,280 --> 01:40:33,160
Speaker 1: today's NFL. I wrote about Brian at the end of

1885
01:40:33,240 --> 01:40:35,000
Speaker 1: last season, and he and I spent some time on

1886
01:40:35,040 --> 01:40:36,559
Speaker 1: the phone, and I talked to some of the current

1887
01:40:36,560 --> 01:40:38,800
Speaker 1: informer players that had been in and out of that

1888
01:40:38,840 --> 01:40:41,360
Speaker 1: Bill's locker room just about how he found that voice

1889
01:40:41,720 --> 01:40:44,720
Speaker 1: as an offensive coach, as an offensive coordinator, And I

1890
01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:47,040
Speaker 1: think it's the same way we all grow. You know,

1891
01:40:47,080 --> 01:40:49,719
Speaker 1: there's a level of humility that you gain, you become

1892
01:40:49,720 --> 01:40:52,439
Speaker 1: a better communicator. I feel like early in his career

1893
01:40:52,680 --> 01:40:54,479
Speaker 1: he was probably trying to put some square pegs and

1894
01:40:54,560 --> 01:40:57,639
Speaker 1: round holes. He wasn't as flexible. This was the system,

1895
01:40:57,720 --> 01:41:00,360
Speaker 1: let's run it this way, and now it's just feels

1896
01:41:00,400 --> 01:41:03,160
Speaker 1: like he's really letting the players inform that system in

1897
01:41:03,200 --> 01:41:06,120
Speaker 1: ways he wouldn't have as a younger offensive coordinator. The

1898
01:41:06,160 --> 01:41:08,000
Speaker 1: path he took to this point where he gets to

1899
01:41:08,040 --> 01:41:10,680
Speaker 1: go to Alabama and have that experience and have that

1900
01:41:10,720 --> 01:41:13,559
Speaker 1: informed the way that his offensive mind works. I just

1901
01:41:13,560 --> 01:41:16,840
Speaker 1: think that every single step of his career, including the failures,

1902
01:41:16,840 --> 01:41:18,799
Speaker 1: and I maybe that's a little bit strong, but including

1903
01:41:18,800 --> 01:41:21,280
Speaker 1: the missteps he had had earlier in his career, I

1904
01:41:21,360 --> 01:41:23,840
Speaker 1: think those are necessary to be where he is right now.

1905
01:41:23,840 --> 01:41:25,479
Speaker 1: And I think that you see that, you know, just

1906
01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:29,479
Speaker 1: little tiny things about how elements of Cole Beasley's offense

1907
01:41:29,479 --> 01:41:32,760
Speaker 1: at SMU found their way into the Bills offense because

1908
01:41:32,760 --> 01:41:35,160
Speaker 1: that's what he's most comfortable with. That's what good offensive

1909
01:41:35,160 --> 01:41:38,240
Speaker 1: coaches do. And I think that's exactly the sorts of

1910
01:41:38,240 --> 01:41:41,400
Speaker 1: thought processes and ideas that have started to permeate the

1911
01:41:41,400 --> 01:41:43,960
Speaker 1: Bills offense since one of the reasons why they'd become

1912
01:41:43,960 --> 01:41:47,479
Speaker 1: one of the best offenses in the entire league. So Robert,

1913
01:41:47,600 --> 01:41:50,440
Speaker 1: I think a lot of Bills fans were pleasantly surprised

1914
01:41:50,479 --> 01:41:55,640
Speaker 1: to see both Brian Dable and Leslie Fraser return as coordinators.

1915
01:41:55,640 --> 01:41:57,439
Speaker 1: Those two guys are back as a tandem for the

1916
01:41:57,479 --> 01:42:01,040
Speaker 1: fourth straight season. Special teams coaches now here third straight season,

1917
01:42:01,080 --> 01:42:04,759
Speaker 1: so that continuity obviously has value. A lot of people

1918
01:42:04,760 --> 01:42:07,400
Speaker 1: are expecting the Titans offense to maybe take a step

1919
01:42:07,439 --> 01:42:10,759
Speaker 1: back because Arthur Smith is in Atlanta. Nothing against Dodd downing,

1920
01:42:10,760 --> 01:42:14,479
Speaker 1: but it's going to be different. But as much as

1921
01:42:14,479 --> 01:42:16,479
Speaker 1: I think that could be an advantage for the Bills,

1922
01:42:16,520 --> 01:42:19,080
Speaker 1: whose fans probably think, hey, we're playing with how's money

1923
01:42:19,160 --> 01:42:22,679
Speaker 1: still having Dable and Leslie Frazier here, the bottom line

1924
01:42:22,720 --> 01:42:25,120
Speaker 1: is this. The Bucks didn't have any changes to their

1925
01:42:25,160 --> 01:42:28,640
Speaker 1: major coordinators. Neither did the Chiefs. So it's just like

1926
01:42:28,720 --> 01:42:30,519
Speaker 1: Son of a gun Man. We feel like we've got

1927
01:42:30,560 --> 01:42:32,320
Speaker 1: an advantage here, and it might not mean a hill

1928
01:42:32,320 --> 01:42:36,280
Speaker 1: of beans because they have the same continuity. I think

1929
01:42:36,479 --> 01:42:39,160
Speaker 1: this entire process is about putting yourself in the best

1930
01:42:39,160 --> 01:42:42,080
Speaker 1: possible position because you need a couple breaks to get there.

1931
01:42:42,120 --> 01:42:44,080
Speaker 1: I mean, think about just how many little tiny things

1932
01:42:44,080 --> 01:42:45,400
Speaker 1: had to go right for the Bucks to win the

1933
01:42:45,439 --> 01:42:48,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I mean, if the Packers don't kick that

1934
01:42:48,240 --> 01:42:50,360
Speaker 1: field goal in Green Bay, are the Bucks even playing

1935
01:42:50,360 --> 01:42:52,439
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. That happens every year. You just

1936
01:42:52,479 --> 01:42:55,080
Speaker 1: need to get yourself to the doorstep. And I feel

1937
01:42:55,080 --> 01:42:57,240
Speaker 1: like the Bills have done the right things to keep

1938
01:42:57,280 --> 01:43:00,439
Speaker 1: themselves there. There's so many aspects of this team, this

1939
01:43:00,600 --> 01:43:03,400
Speaker 1: coaching staff that really let you know the time is now.

1940
01:43:03,479 --> 01:43:04,960
Speaker 1: They have a chance to do this. You know, when

1941
01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:07,720
Speaker 1: Josh Allen gets his extension, the degree of difficulty is

1942
01:43:07,720 --> 01:43:09,640
Speaker 1: going to be a little bit higher. If Brian dab

1943
01:43:09,920 --> 01:43:12,240
Speaker 1: gets a head coaching job after this season, the degree

1944
01:43:12,280 --> 01:43:14,240
Speaker 1: of difficulty is going to be a little bit higher.

1945
01:43:14,439 --> 01:43:16,559
Speaker 1: So this is the perfect time for them to say,

1946
01:43:16,840 --> 01:43:19,200
Speaker 1: we have a chance at this. Let's do everything we

1947
01:43:19,240 --> 01:43:21,280
Speaker 1: can to keep this group together, spice it up in

1948
01:43:21,280 --> 01:43:23,439
Speaker 1: a couple of small ways, and hope that this is

1949
01:43:23,439 --> 01:43:25,200
Speaker 1: our year. And I feel like that's exactly how they

1950
01:43:25,200 --> 01:43:27,679
Speaker 1: went about this offseason. Yeah, you talk about the time

1951
01:43:27,840 --> 01:43:30,040
Speaker 1: is now, And we saw when the Bucks and Chiefs

1952
01:43:30,080 --> 01:43:32,559
Speaker 1: played each other. We saw how the Bucks deployed their

1953
01:43:32,600 --> 01:43:36,479
Speaker 1: defense against Patrick Mahomes. And yes, the Chief's offensive line

1954
01:43:36,520 --> 01:43:39,400
Speaker 1: was a little bit prone to injury at that point

1955
01:43:39,479 --> 01:43:43,080
Speaker 1: and weren't as strong as they were mid season or

1956
01:43:43,120 --> 01:43:45,280
Speaker 1: in the beginning of this season. But they kind of

1957
01:43:45,479 --> 01:43:48,040
Speaker 1: showed a type of blueprint that can be used to

1958
01:43:48,640 --> 01:43:50,800
Speaker 1: beat a team like the Chiefs and to win the

1959
01:43:50,880 --> 01:43:53,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. And then you see Sean McDermott and Brandon

1960
01:43:53,840 --> 01:43:56,759
Speaker 1: Bean talk about the pass rush and how that's needed.

1961
01:43:56,800 --> 01:43:59,760
Speaker 1: And the Bills had a first year defensive line coach

1962
01:44:00,200 --> 01:44:03,439
Speaker 1: season and Eric Washington and a bunch of new free agents.

1963
01:44:03,439 --> 01:44:06,719
Speaker 1: They have that continuity this year, but they add two

1964
01:44:06,840 --> 01:44:10,479
Speaker 1: defensive ends in the draft after their first and second

1965
01:44:10,600 --> 01:44:13,240
Speaker 1: round pick. They go defensive end, defensive end. And you

1966
01:44:13,280 --> 01:44:15,240
Speaker 1: talked to Brandon Bean after the draft. He said, if

1967
01:44:15,240 --> 01:44:17,120
Speaker 1: I was a betting man, I did not think we

1968
01:44:17,160 --> 01:44:20,000
Speaker 1: would do that. But you saw a video of Sean

1969
01:44:20,120 --> 01:44:23,040
Speaker 1: McDermott on Bill social media when they made that second

1970
01:44:23,200 --> 01:44:27,200
Speaker 1: pick to get a defensive end, and he just lit up.

1971
01:44:27,920 --> 01:44:30,120
Speaker 1: How do you think some of those pieces can maybe

1972
01:44:30,200 --> 01:44:33,760
Speaker 1: be used to capitalize on the time that they have

1973
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:37,040
Speaker 1: right now by filling some of those holes that they

1974
01:44:37,040 --> 01:44:40,559
Speaker 1: did have this past season. It's interesting because they're almost

1975
01:44:40,600 --> 01:44:43,000
Speaker 1: a contrast to the Bucks right because the Bucks edge

1976
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:45,240
Speaker 1: players play at a higher clip than almost any other

1977
01:44:45,320 --> 01:44:48,559
Speaker 1: two in the entire NFL. I believe JPP was third

1978
01:44:48,680 --> 01:44:51,240
Speaker 1: or second and snapper right among edge players last year

1979
01:44:51,240 --> 01:44:53,840
Speaker 1: after JJ Watt, and the Bills don't play like that,

1980
01:44:53,960 --> 01:44:56,240
Speaker 1: right the Bills, those guys play like sixty percent of

1981
01:44:56,280 --> 01:44:59,280
Speaker 1: the snaps top. They love having a rotation. They view

1982
01:44:59,439 --> 01:45:02,240
Speaker 1: that disition group as a unit the same way you

1983
01:45:02,320 --> 01:45:06,160
Speaker 1: think about corners or safeties planning together. So having more

1984
01:45:06,200 --> 01:45:09,519
Speaker 1: bodies there, having some key depth there, giving a little youth,

1985
01:45:09,520 --> 01:45:12,200
Speaker 1: an injection of energy. I feel like that's almost more

1986
01:45:12,240 --> 01:45:15,040
Speaker 1: important for their defensive line rotation than it might be

1987
01:45:15,080 --> 01:45:17,280
Speaker 1: for almost any other team in the NFL. And no

1988
01:45:17,400 --> 01:45:19,240
Speaker 1: guy like Jerry Hughes is getting a little bit older.

1989
01:45:19,320 --> 01:45:21,840
Speaker 1: It seems like a ton of resources to devote to

1990
01:45:21,880 --> 01:45:24,920
Speaker 1: one position, but at a high leverage position like that,

1991
01:45:25,120 --> 01:45:28,240
Speaker 1: when you have question marks for the next two three years.

1992
01:45:28,560 --> 01:45:30,360
Speaker 1: That's how this team is built from the start. Now,

1993
01:45:30,400 --> 01:45:33,160
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean has done such a great job of using

1994
01:45:33,240 --> 01:45:35,680
Speaker 1: free agency as a way to patch immediate holes or

1995
01:45:35,720 --> 01:45:38,640
Speaker 1: the trademarket in this Stefan Dick's case, and then allowing

1996
01:45:38,760 --> 01:45:41,160
Speaker 1: him to use the draft to pick the best player

1997
01:45:41,200 --> 01:45:44,000
Speaker 1: available to build depth in important places. And I think

1998
01:45:44,040 --> 01:45:46,080
Speaker 1: this is another perfect example of that. Even a little

1999
01:45:46,080 --> 01:45:48,320
Speaker 1: bit deeper in the draft, you go to a pick

2000
01:45:48,360 --> 01:45:50,640
Speaker 1: like Spencer Brown in the third round, where it just

2001
01:45:50,760 --> 01:45:53,599
Speaker 1: protects you at important spots. So I feel like that's

2002
01:45:53,640 --> 01:45:56,759
Speaker 1: what all of the Bill's high impact, high leverage picks

2003
01:45:57,040 --> 01:46:00,719
Speaker 1: did in this year's draft. Talking to NFL for the Athletic,

2004
01:46:00,800 --> 01:46:04,479
Speaker 1: Robert May's joining us here on the show, and I

2005
01:46:04,600 --> 01:46:08,680
Speaker 1: saw that, you know, among the most improved rosters, you

2006
01:46:08,760 --> 01:46:12,160
Speaker 1: had a couple of Bills Division rivals in there. You

2007
01:46:12,240 --> 01:46:15,240
Speaker 1: had the Patriots. You mentioned the Jets. Obviously, the Jets

2008
01:46:15,280 --> 01:46:17,920
Speaker 1: are coming from a place where anything would be an improvement.

2009
01:46:18,840 --> 01:46:21,320
Speaker 1: Not to knock them, but hey, that's where they've been

2010
01:46:21,320 --> 01:46:24,400
Speaker 1: for a long time. But it seems like Joe Douglas,

2011
01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:28,160
Speaker 1: who's a former offensive lineman himself, it's finally investing in

2012
01:46:28,160 --> 01:46:31,519
Speaker 1: the areas that are going to help put them on

2013
01:46:31,560 --> 01:46:35,639
Speaker 1: the right track long term. But how much have they

2014
01:46:35,880 --> 01:46:39,280
Speaker 1: and maybe the Patriots tried to close the gap knowing

2015
01:46:39,360 --> 01:46:43,559
Speaker 1: Miami was their closest pursuer last year. I think you're

2016
01:46:43,640 --> 01:46:46,120
Speaker 1: right about the Jets. There's only one direction for them

2017
01:46:46,200 --> 01:46:49,000
Speaker 1: to go, and they've certainly taken steps in the right direction.

2018
01:46:49,080 --> 01:46:51,200
Speaker 1: But I don't know if they're necessarily a playoff team

2019
01:46:51,200 --> 01:46:53,559
Speaker 1: in year one with a rookie quarterback and a new

2020
01:46:53,680 --> 01:46:56,720
Speaker 1: staff everything else, they're better than they were. But that

2021
01:46:56,880 --> 01:46:59,040
Speaker 1: wasn't hard to do. In terms of the way that

2022
01:46:59,120 --> 01:47:02,559
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas is, I totally understand it. And you look

2023
01:47:02,560 --> 01:47:04,920
Speaker 1: at what happened with Sam Darnold, and you look at

2024
01:47:04,920 --> 01:47:08,240
Speaker 1: that front office's failure to put talent around him, they

2025
01:47:08,240 --> 01:47:10,680
Speaker 1: weren't going to make the same mistake. You could absolutely

2026
01:47:10,720 --> 01:47:13,960
Speaker 1: say that the Za excuse me, the lash Very Tucker

2027
01:47:14,040 --> 01:47:16,400
Speaker 1: trade up was at overpay. You know, that's a lot

2028
01:47:16,439 --> 01:47:17,920
Speaker 1: to spend a trade up for a guard in the

2029
01:47:17,960 --> 01:47:22,120
Speaker 1: first round. But they're determined to give Zach Wilson every

2030
01:47:22,160 --> 01:47:25,200
Speaker 1: single chance to succeed. And I completely understand that as

2031
01:47:25,200 --> 01:47:27,960
Speaker 1: a team building strategy, considering what has happened with their

2032
01:47:28,040 --> 01:47:31,559
Speaker 1: last top five quarterback and the Patriots side of it.

2033
01:47:31,560 --> 01:47:33,720
Speaker 1: It's not similar to the Jets in the sense that

2034
01:47:33,760 --> 01:47:36,360
Speaker 1: they were a better team, but it's when you spend

2035
01:47:36,360 --> 01:47:39,000
Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars in free agency, you better get better.

2036
01:47:39,280 --> 01:47:41,840
Speaker 1: And I think the question is how much better did

2037
01:47:41,880 --> 01:47:44,800
Speaker 1: they get even after spending all of that money. It

2038
01:47:44,840 --> 01:47:48,160
Speaker 1: reminds me of what we'd say about teams in past

2039
01:47:48,240 --> 01:47:50,040
Speaker 1: years that weren't the Patriots where you'd say, oh, they

2040
01:47:50,080 --> 01:47:53,040
Speaker 1: won free agency, how much better are they really? And

2041
01:47:53,080 --> 01:47:55,000
Speaker 1: that's kind of where I am with New England. They

2042
01:47:55,040 --> 01:47:57,200
Speaker 1: spent all this money in free agency and in the

2043
01:47:57,240 --> 01:48:00,200
Speaker 1: trade market with Trent Brown everything else, how much or

2044
01:48:00,200 --> 01:48:02,560
Speaker 1: are they really? I think they're probably on the doorstep

2045
01:48:02,840 --> 01:48:05,599
Speaker 1: of being a wildcard team or right there to possibly

2046
01:48:05,640 --> 01:48:07,720
Speaker 1: push the Bills in the division, But I don't know

2047
01:48:07,760 --> 01:48:10,400
Speaker 1: if they're truly a contender based on the amount of

2048
01:48:10,439 --> 01:48:12,439
Speaker 1: money they spent out the players they added. I think

2049
01:48:12,600 --> 01:48:14,720
Speaker 1: that's usually the case with freedom, so you're rarely going

2050
01:48:14,800 --> 01:48:17,400
Speaker 1: to find true difference makers, even if you can find

2051
01:48:17,400 --> 01:48:20,599
Speaker 1: some incremental improvements on the market. Yeah, you can also

2052
01:48:20,640 --> 01:48:22,840
Speaker 1: have the best players on the field when it comes

2053
01:48:22,880 --> 01:48:25,439
Speaker 1: to your wide receivers, your running backs, your tight ends.

2054
01:48:25,439 --> 01:48:27,640
Speaker 1: But if you don't have a quarterback, you don't have

2055
01:48:27,680 --> 01:48:31,120
Speaker 1: that position figured out, you can't do much. And they've

2056
01:48:31,160 --> 01:48:34,240
Speaker 1: got a question mark there with Cam Newton versus Mac

2057
01:48:34,320 --> 01:48:37,759
Speaker 1: Jones and Mike Girardi out of NFL Networks for reporting.

2058
01:48:37,760 --> 01:48:40,160
Speaker 1: You know, Mac Jones had a pretty good Mini camp,

2059
01:48:40,720 --> 01:48:45,000
Speaker 1: but so did Cam Newton. At days. We've been talking

2060
01:48:45,040 --> 01:48:47,240
Speaker 1: earlier today kind of about when we think we could

2061
01:48:47,240 --> 01:48:49,679
Speaker 1: see Mac Jones, if we're going to see him week one,

2062
01:48:49,800 --> 01:48:52,920
Speaker 1: week two, they start out the season with the Dolphins

2063
01:48:52,920 --> 01:48:55,439
Speaker 1: and the Jets, and then they will see the Saints,

2064
01:48:55,439 --> 01:48:58,120
Speaker 1: and then week four they see the Bucks. Do you

2065
01:48:58,240 --> 01:49:01,719
Speaker 1: have any guests at when we could see Mac Jones

2066
01:49:01,800 --> 01:49:03,519
Speaker 1: or if you think he's going to be the starter

2067
01:49:03,600 --> 01:49:05,840
Speaker 1: for week one, or who the heck knows what Bill

2068
01:49:05,880 --> 01:49:09,479
Speaker 1: Belichick is going to do. It's just such a strange

2069
01:49:09,479 --> 01:49:11,240
Speaker 1: world to live in, just because we've never had to

2070
01:49:11,280 --> 01:49:14,679
Speaker 1: deal with this before. It's been twenty years of status

2071
01:49:14,720 --> 01:49:17,200
Speaker 1: quo there before last season with Cam Newton, So there's

2072
01:49:17,240 --> 01:49:21,000
Speaker 1: no precedent, there's no frame of reference for us to

2073
01:49:21,040 --> 01:49:23,040
Speaker 1: know when they want to play a rookie quarterback with

2074
01:49:23,120 --> 01:49:25,680
Speaker 1: their development plan might be. I mean, this team is

2075
01:49:25,720 --> 01:49:28,000
Speaker 1: a mystery in so many ways, which is kind of

2076
01:49:28,000 --> 01:49:31,320
Speaker 1: a fascinating thing to say with a known quantity like

2077
01:49:31,320 --> 01:49:34,280
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick and a team that's been in the conversation

2078
01:49:34,400 --> 01:49:37,360
Speaker 1: and in our collective football consciousness for the last two decades.

2079
01:49:37,439 --> 01:49:39,680
Speaker 1: So I really have no idea. I don't know if

2080
01:49:39,720 --> 01:49:41,760
Speaker 1: they think that Cam Newton gives them the best chance

2081
01:49:41,800 --> 01:49:43,639
Speaker 1: to win this year. I don't know if they feel

2082
01:49:43,640 --> 01:49:46,240
Speaker 1: like they want to jumpstart mac Jones' development by putting

2083
01:49:46,280 --> 01:49:49,160
Speaker 1: him in as soon as possible, I would believe any

2084
01:49:49,200 --> 01:49:52,439
Speaker 1: single outcome for how that quarterback position unfolds in New England.

2085
01:49:52,600 --> 01:49:54,759
Speaker 1: That's why I think it's one of the more intriguing battles.

2086
01:49:54,800 --> 01:49:56,840
Speaker 1: Is one of the more intriguing stories really about the

2087
01:49:56,960 --> 01:50:00,880
Speaker 1: entire league heading into the season, and speaking of rookie quarterbacks,

2088
01:50:00,920 --> 01:50:03,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. It just seems to me like Trevor

2089
01:50:03,360 --> 01:50:05,479
Speaker 1: Lawrence was made the first pick in the draft and

2090
01:50:05,640 --> 01:50:09,800
Speaker 1: everybody forgot about him. And I understand why Jacksonville has

2091
01:50:09,800 --> 01:50:12,240
Speaker 1: had a rough go of it, But if you look

2092
01:50:12,320 --> 01:50:15,559
Speaker 1: up and down their roster, Robert, they've got talent, Like

2093
01:50:15,760 --> 01:50:18,800
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is not going into a bare cupboard, you know,

2094
01:50:18,880 --> 01:50:22,840
Speaker 1: devoid of weapons. I mean, he's got weapons to utilize there.

2095
01:50:23,160 --> 01:50:25,600
Speaker 1: They have some talent on the defensive side of the

2096
01:50:25,600 --> 01:50:28,920
Speaker 1: ball in the front seven. What do you think is

2097
01:50:29,040 --> 01:50:33,240
Speaker 1: realistic for them in year one with Urban Meyer, you know,

2098
01:50:33,280 --> 01:50:36,799
Speaker 1: and Trevor Lawrence in that division where some people still believe,

2099
01:50:36,880 --> 01:50:39,360
Speaker 1: even with the Julio Jones ad that Tennessee might be

2100
01:50:39,400 --> 01:50:41,759
Speaker 1: taken a step back and Houston's not expected to scare

2101
01:50:41,760 --> 01:50:45,960
Speaker 1: anybody if they're there. Odds to win that division are

2102
01:50:45,960 --> 01:50:48,559
Speaker 1: pretty interesting and pretty long. If they did win it,

2103
01:50:48,760 --> 01:50:51,759
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be shocked because of the questions in other places,

2104
01:50:51,800 --> 01:50:54,400
Speaker 1: if Tennessee's offense takes a step back, if Carson Wentz

2105
01:50:54,640 --> 01:50:57,120
Speaker 1: doesn't rehab his career as quickly as the Colts want

2106
01:50:57,200 --> 01:51:00,519
Speaker 1: him to. For me, I think the biggest question is

2107
01:51:01,040 --> 01:51:03,559
Speaker 1: can the offense be good right away? And I believe

2108
01:51:03,600 --> 01:51:05,599
Speaker 1: that it can be if Trevor Lawrence is as good

2109
01:51:05,600 --> 01:51:08,320
Speaker 1: as everybody thinks he is, and they have a Djhark

2110
01:51:08,360 --> 01:51:10,680
Speaker 1: and Laviska Chenault, and they drafted Travisy Tan in the

2111
01:51:10,720 --> 01:51:13,200
Speaker 1: first round. They brought back all of their starters along

2112
01:51:13,320 --> 01:51:15,840
Speaker 1: the offensive line. It's not a great group, but it's

2113
01:51:15,840 --> 01:51:18,400
Speaker 1: a playable group. You can work with it. And I

2114
01:51:18,439 --> 01:51:21,519
Speaker 1: think that Darryl Bebble is a really interesting option as

2115
01:51:21,560 --> 01:51:23,920
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator there in year one. You think about

2116
01:51:23,960 --> 01:51:26,200
Speaker 1: what he did with Russell Wilson as a rookie and

2117
01:51:26,400 --> 01:51:30,120
Speaker 1: his ability to protect a young quarterback when necessary, but

2118
01:51:30,280 --> 01:51:32,719
Speaker 1: still let that guy loose when he needs to make plays.

2119
01:51:32,960 --> 01:51:35,439
Speaker 1: And I think that sort of play action down the

2120
01:51:35,520 --> 01:51:38,639
Speaker 1: field aggressive type offense that we've seen from Darryl Bebble

2121
01:51:38,680 --> 01:51:41,040
Speaker 1: in a couple of different spots is a perfect fit

2122
01:51:41,120 --> 01:51:44,320
Speaker 1: for a young talented quarterback like Trevor Lawrence. So if

2123
01:51:44,320 --> 01:51:47,519
Speaker 1: this was a top ten offense over the course of

2124
01:51:47,760 --> 01:51:50,800
Speaker 1: Lawrence's rookie season, I wouldn't be shocked. I think the

2125
01:51:50,800 --> 01:51:53,880
Speaker 1: biggest question is do they have enough defensive talent to

2126
01:51:54,000 --> 01:51:56,639
Speaker 1: even be a little bit below average on that side

2127
01:51:56,640 --> 01:51:58,360
Speaker 1: of the ball. And to me, that's still a huge,

2128
01:51:58,439 --> 01:52:01,800
Speaker 1: huge question. Do you see another team that has a

2129
01:52:01,880 --> 01:52:05,759
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback that has the continuity on offense or defense

2130
01:52:05,840 --> 01:52:08,479
Speaker 1: or has the weapons in place to be able to

2131
01:52:08,479 --> 01:52:10,840
Speaker 1: set up that rookie to have some success in their

2132
01:52:10,880 --> 01:52:14,840
Speaker 1: first season this year? And if Trey plays, I think

2133
01:52:14,840 --> 01:52:18,000
Speaker 1: that he'll be ready to roll. I can't It's been

2134
01:52:18,040 --> 01:52:21,439
Speaker 1: a while, I would say, since the Chiefs drafted Patrick Mahomes,

2135
01:52:21,800 --> 01:52:24,679
Speaker 1: that a first round quarterback has stepped into that sort

2136
01:52:24,720 --> 01:52:26,639
Speaker 1: of situation where you have one of the best two

2137
01:52:26,720 --> 01:52:29,120
Speaker 1: or three offensive play callers in the league, a very

2138
01:52:29,200 --> 01:52:32,640
Speaker 1: good offensive lines, really intriguing weapons. Now they've said the

2139
01:52:32,680 --> 01:52:34,320
Speaker 1: company line over there is that they're going to play

2140
01:52:34,400 --> 01:52:37,479
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo right now, because they think Jimmy Garoppolo in

2141
01:52:37,520 --> 01:52:39,439
Speaker 1: this moment still gives them the best chance to win.

2142
01:52:39,720 --> 01:52:41,720
Speaker 1: But I think from the moment that Trey Lanz gets

2143
01:52:41,760 --> 01:52:44,520
Speaker 1: on the field, he has a chance to be successful

2144
01:52:44,520 --> 01:52:47,160
Speaker 1: in the way that rookie quarterbacks rarely are, because rookie

2145
01:52:47,240 --> 01:52:49,720
Speaker 1: quarterbacks rarely step into a situation as good as the

2146
01:52:49,720 --> 01:52:52,120
Speaker 1: one he's facing in San Francisco. So wait a second,

2147
01:52:52,160 --> 01:52:54,920
Speaker 1: Robert Maddie throws you a softball here, and you stay

2148
01:52:54,960 --> 01:52:58,360
Speaker 1: objective and you don't even touch Justin Fields right in

2149
01:52:58,360 --> 01:53:05,400
Speaker 1: your backyard in Chicago, bears helmet right behind you. My

2150
01:53:05,640 --> 01:53:09,040
Speaker 1: feelings about the Justin Field situation, I'm calling it tepid optimism.

2151
01:53:09,479 --> 01:53:13,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I think that sounds fan. I am

2152
01:53:13,360 --> 01:53:16,559
Speaker 1: excited about Justin Fields. I'm excited about his talent. I'm

2153
01:53:16,560 --> 01:53:19,240
Speaker 1: excited about what he was as a college quarterback. You know,

2154
01:53:19,320 --> 01:53:21,240
Speaker 1: I'm not a quarterback expert by any means, but when

2155
01:53:21,280 --> 01:53:23,320
Speaker 1: I watched all of these guys coming into the draft,

2156
01:53:24,040 --> 01:53:26,400
Speaker 1: I came away from watching Justin Fields saying, I don't

2157
01:53:26,439 --> 01:53:28,839
Speaker 1: know why he's not the second guy you think about

2158
01:53:28,880 --> 01:53:32,880
Speaker 1: the overwhelming skill set. It was so physically talented He's

2159
01:53:32,960 --> 01:53:37,000
Speaker 1: accurate with the ball, prototypical size, arm strength, accuracy, all

2160
01:53:37,040 --> 01:53:39,000
Speaker 1: of that stuff. He doesn't play as fast as some

2161
01:53:39,040 --> 01:53:41,400
Speaker 1: people wanted to, and I understand that, but you look

2162
01:53:41,439 --> 01:53:43,800
Speaker 1: at what he did on the biggest stage at a

2163
01:53:43,920 --> 01:53:47,240
Speaker 1: huge program. He checks pretty much every single box you'd

2164
01:53:47,240 --> 01:53:49,960
Speaker 1: want to. But where the situation Trey Lance has in

2165
01:53:50,000 --> 01:53:53,760
Speaker 1: San Francisco is fairly perfect for a young quarterback, play

2166
01:53:53,760 --> 01:53:57,080
Speaker 1: call or supporting cast offensive line. I think the situation

2167
01:53:57,080 --> 01:53:59,559
Speaker 1: in Chicago has a lot more question marks about it

2168
01:54:00,080 --> 01:54:02,080
Speaker 1: offensive line and a ton of turnover this year in

2169
01:54:02,120 --> 01:54:05,080
Speaker 1: this offseason. Could it be better, absolutely, but I wouldn't

2170
01:54:05,080 --> 01:54:08,040
Speaker 1: say that's a guarantee. There are still serious questions from

2171
01:54:08,040 --> 01:54:09,639
Speaker 1: my end, and I think a lot of other people's

2172
01:54:09,760 --> 01:54:12,639
Speaker 1: about Matt Nagge as an offensive play caller, offensive mind,

2173
01:54:12,880 --> 01:54:15,960
Speaker 1: and what the Bears plan on offense is. So I'm

2174
01:54:16,080 --> 01:54:19,519
Speaker 1: very excited about Justin Fields. I'm less excited about the

2175
01:54:19,560 --> 01:54:23,720
Speaker 1: situation he's walking into in Chicago. Robert, thanks very much

2176
01:54:23,720 --> 01:54:25,720
Speaker 1: for the time. We appreciate it. We figured we'd end

2177
01:54:25,760 --> 01:54:28,320
Speaker 1: on the Chicago note there, so thanks for wrapping it

2178
01:54:28,400 --> 01:54:31,479
Speaker 1: up in a bow for us. We appreciate it, absolutely

2179
01:54:31,520 --> 01:54:34,000
Speaker 1: appreciate having me, all right, that's an NFL writer for

2180
01:54:34,000 --> 01:54:36,720
Speaker 1: the Athletic. Robert May's joining us. He can catch his

2181
01:54:36,800 --> 01:54:39,600
Speaker 1: stuff on the Athletic dot Com. Does a lot of

2182
01:54:39,640 --> 01:54:44,520
Speaker 1: overarching pieces for them from a league wide perspective. But

2183
01:54:44,560 --> 01:54:48,120
Speaker 1: he is encouraged by the Bill's roster top to bottom,

2184
01:54:48,120 --> 01:54:51,080
Speaker 1: and I don't know how you couldn't be very few

2185
01:54:51,120 --> 01:54:53,520
Speaker 1: holes on that roster. There are others like the Bucks.

2186
01:54:53,520 --> 01:54:57,120
Speaker 1: As he mentioned the Chiefs. He had an interesting question

2187
01:54:57,160 --> 01:55:00,240
Speaker 1: for that that we didn't get to. He posed the question, Well,

2188
01:55:00,240 --> 01:55:04,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs regret not adding another wide receiver because, as

2189
01:55:04,760 --> 01:55:06,680
Speaker 1: you know, they lost Sammy Watkins. I think they lost

2190
01:55:06,680 --> 01:55:08,960
Speaker 1: one other guy whose contract was up, whose memory escape

2191
01:55:09,000 --> 01:55:10,840
Speaker 1: whose name escapes him right now, I want to say

2192
01:55:10,880 --> 01:55:14,320
Speaker 1: to Marcus Robinson, but I don't think that's right. And

2193
01:55:14,360 --> 01:55:18,720
Speaker 1: so they're usually adding extra receiving talent every offseason. They've

2194
01:55:18,760 --> 01:55:21,120
Speaker 1: subtracted this year. Is that going to hurt them? And

2195
01:55:21,160 --> 01:55:24,720
Speaker 1: that's an interesting question to pose. Not that they don't

2196
01:55:24,720 --> 01:55:27,080
Speaker 1: have weapons. I mean you could have Tyreek Hill and

2197
01:55:27,080 --> 01:55:29,240
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey is your only weapons and get pretty dang far,

2198
01:55:29,280 --> 01:55:31,240
Speaker 1: as we saw last year in the ANFC title game.

2199
01:55:31,760 --> 01:55:34,920
Speaker 1: So there's that hopefully there is not a repeat of

2200
01:55:34,960 --> 01:55:37,600
Speaker 1: that this year when the Bills play the Chiefs in

2201
01:55:37,840 --> 01:55:41,240
Speaker 1: Week five, So that'll be a game that will be

2202
01:55:41,280 --> 01:55:44,920
Speaker 1: marked with a giant red circle on the calendar for

2203
01:55:45,000 --> 01:55:47,160
Speaker 1: all the Bills fans as they look to vanquish the

2204
01:55:47,160 --> 01:55:50,920
Speaker 1: demons known as the Chiefs. And the Bills aren't the

2205
01:55:50,960 --> 01:55:52,800
Speaker 1: only victims of the Chiefs, Let's be honest. It's been

2206
01:55:52,800 --> 01:55:54,360
Speaker 1: a lot of other teams as well. They can't get

2207
01:55:54,400 --> 01:55:59,120
Speaker 1: by him either. We are going to take a break here,

2208
01:56:00,080 --> 01:56:02,320
Speaker 1: but when we come back, we'll check out your final

2209
01:56:02,360 --> 01:56:04,760
Speaker 1: thoughts on the tweet sheet, and then it'll be time

2210
01:56:04,840 --> 01:56:08,080
Speaker 1: for a little bit of NFL True False Manny and

2211
01:56:08,080 --> 01:56:10,080
Speaker 1: I will get into that when we return. You're on

2212
01:56:10,080 --> 01:56:12,240
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live presented by Collat of Health. It's Buffalo

2213
01:56:12,320 --> 01:56:31,120
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio Welcome Back Tuesday edition. We are now in

2214
01:56:31,200 --> 01:56:33,520
Speaker 1: the final half hour of the show, going to get

2215
01:56:33,560 --> 01:56:37,280
Speaker 1: some of your final thoughts from the tweet sheet as

2216
01:56:37,320 --> 01:56:41,440
Speaker 1: to what you believe are the best Bills plays you

2217
01:56:41,520 --> 01:56:45,200
Speaker 1: have ever witnessed in person in the stadium here or

2218
01:56:45,280 --> 01:56:46,720
Speaker 1: on the road somewhere at a road game. We had

2219
01:56:46,720 --> 01:56:50,280
Speaker 1: a guy call in earlier saying, LA Coliseum Al Edwards

2220
01:56:50,320 --> 01:56:53,160
Speaker 1: kick returned for a touchdown in ninety one. It was beautiful.

2221
01:56:53,400 --> 01:56:56,960
Speaker 1: It was running right at me. So we'll take any

2222
01:56:57,000 --> 01:57:02,240
Speaker 1: and all suggestions here thus far. I'm trying to get

2223
01:57:02,280 --> 01:57:05,040
Speaker 1: back to my original tweech. I think we let off

2224
01:57:05,040 --> 01:57:08,480
Speaker 1: with Rusty for number five is where we lead off

2225
01:57:08,480 --> 01:57:11,600
Speaker 1: the next So I'll start with I saw Leotis McKelvin

2226
01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:15,560
Speaker 1: have a ninety nine kick off return for a touchdown

2227
01:57:15,640 --> 01:57:19,320
Speaker 1: at the stadium, almost on command. Josh's bomb to Foster.

2228
01:57:19,480 --> 01:57:24,440
Speaker 1: We read that one six Seth said. I was there

2229
01:57:24,440 --> 01:57:28,400
Speaker 1: for the Jags game Josh's rookie year when he connected

2230
01:57:28,400 --> 01:57:32,200
Speaker 1: with Rob Foster for a deep touchdown. Didn't look like

2231
01:57:32,240 --> 01:57:34,080
Speaker 1: he was going to be able to get the throw off,

2232
01:57:34,120 --> 01:57:37,240
Speaker 1: but he did, and the place went nuts. As Foster

2233
01:57:37,360 --> 01:57:40,000
Speaker 1: strolled into the end zone. We knew we had our

2234
01:57:40,080 --> 01:57:42,920
Speaker 1: guy once I saw it in person. Yeah, I remember

2235
01:57:43,040 --> 01:57:45,320
Speaker 1: Robert Foster. He was doing the windmill with the football

2236
01:57:45,360 --> 01:57:48,280
Speaker 1: as he was running through the end zone all by himself,

2237
01:57:49,640 --> 01:57:51,960
Speaker 1: and he was hyping up the crowd even more when

2238
01:57:51,960 --> 01:57:55,600
Speaker 1: he was doing that. It was a wild game, and

2239
01:57:55,760 --> 01:57:58,040
Speaker 1: Josh really did have somewhat of a coming out party

2240
01:57:58,800 --> 01:58:02,920
Speaker 1: in that performance. Andrew says either one of the Dolphins

2241
01:58:02,960 --> 01:58:07,560
Speaker 1: being WWE supplexed on at midfield in the early two thousands.

2242
01:58:08,000 --> 01:58:10,200
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what he's referring to there, but I'm

2243
01:58:10,200 --> 01:58:14,360
Speaker 1: guessing some offensive players got dumped. I can't remember. I'm

2244
01:58:14,400 --> 01:58:17,680
Speaker 1: not recalling that at all, or the Orton Hogan Watkins

2245
01:58:17,680 --> 01:58:20,080
Speaker 1: game winning drive against the Vikings in twenty fourteen that

2246
01:58:20,200 --> 01:58:22,960
Speaker 1: I do remember. So the Bills are down, they've been

2247
01:58:22,960 --> 01:58:27,080
Speaker 1: turning the football over all day long, they're losing a

2248
01:58:27,160 --> 01:58:30,720
Speaker 1: game they should be winning, and then Orton and the

2249
01:58:30,800 --> 01:58:33,280
Speaker 1: offense get the ball. I think it was like a

2250
01:58:33,280 --> 01:58:36,840
Speaker 1: minute fifty left, and maybe they had a time out,

2251
01:58:37,320 --> 01:58:40,000
Speaker 1: and there's you know, steadily moving the ball down the field,

2252
01:58:40,040 --> 01:58:42,920
Speaker 1: and it's fourth down and Orton hits Chris Hogan on

2253
01:58:42,960 --> 01:58:45,640
Speaker 1: the left side of the field, difficult, high degree of

2254
01:58:45,680 --> 01:58:48,840
Speaker 1: difficulty catching, makes the catch for the first down, and

2255
01:58:48,880 --> 01:58:51,200
Speaker 1: then it's either second and goal or third and goal.

2256
01:58:51,320 --> 01:58:54,600
Speaker 1: Five seconds left, and Sammy's on the left side of

2257
01:58:54,600 --> 01:58:57,680
Speaker 1: the formation and Orton just takes a quick two step

2258
01:58:57,720 --> 01:59:02,680
Speaker 1: drop and fires it over to the coverage. Still baffles

2259
01:59:02,720 --> 01:59:06,480
Speaker 1: me to this day, like he's a foot off of Watkins,

2260
01:59:06,480 --> 01:59:08,920
Speaker 1: Like you gotta be in his pocket on a play

2261
01:59:08,960 --> 01:59:10,600
Speaker 1: like that that you know could be banged. But I mean,

2262
01:59:10,640 --> 01:59:13,280
Speaker 1: if their number one receiver, they're probably throwing to him

2263
01:59:13,280 --> 01:59:16,120
Speaker 1: with five seconds left in the game. And he made

2264
01:59:16,120 --> 01:59:18,720
Speaker 1: it too easy. And Sammy did have some degree of

2265
01:59:18,720 --> 01:59:20,400
Speaker 1: difficulty because he had to get his feet down real

2266
01:59:20,480 --> 01:59:23,520
Speaker 1: quick one two tap tap, but he does that and

2267
01:59:23,880 --> 01:59:27,960
Speaker 1: the place erupted and they won the game. And the

2268
01:59:28,000 --> 01:59:31,400
Speaker 1: funniest thing about that is I was still sitting in

2269
01:59:31,440 --> 01:59:34,720
Speaker 1: the same room here at our offices with our video

2270
01:59:34,760 --> 01:59:37,240
Speaker 1: crew who would shoot the game every week, and so

2271
01:59:37,320 --> 01:59:39,720
Speaker 1: they're putting together, you know, a highlight reel of the game,

2272
01:59:40,440 --> 01:59:45,080
Speaker 1: and one of our videographers was standing on that sideline

2273
01:59:45,120 --> 01:59:47,280
Speaker 1: coming Sammy's coming right at him in the front left

2274
01:59:47,320 --> 01:59:50,640
Speaker 1: corner of the end zone and he has his mic open,

2275
01:59:50,720 --> 01:59:54,200
Speaker 1: his shotgun mike and the crowds shouting, but you can

2276
01:59:54,320 --> 01:59:59,960
Speaker 1: audibly hear this one woman in the stands behind our videographer,

2277
02:00:00,240 --> 02:00:02,760
Speaker 1: and as the snap has taken you hear her yell

2278
02:00:02,800 --> 02:00:07,640
Speaker 1: at Kyle Orton, throw it already, and he does throw

2279
02:00:07,680 --> 02:00:10,520
Speaker 1: it and it's a touchdown and then she's like yeah,

2280
02:00:10,720 --> 02:00:13,680
Speaker 1: Like then she's happy, go lucky fan. I have to

2281
02:00:13,680 --> 02:00:17,440
Speaker 1: throw it already. What are you doing? It was so

2282
02:00:17,560 --> 02:00:21,080
Speaker 1: funny just hearing it audibly on the tape. It was

2283
02:00:21,080 --> 02:00:25,360
Speaker 1: pretty funny. U R J says c J. Spiller's screen

2284
02:00:25,400 --> 02:00:27,400
Speaker 1: against the Jets in a colder month. See this is

2285
02:00:27,440 --> 02:00:30,240
Speaker 1: how I remember games, Maddy. Oh, yeah, you know, I

2286
02:00:30,280 --> 02:00:34,200
Speaker 1: think it was. It was a colder weather game like those.

2287
02:00:34,400 --> 02:00:36,080
Speaker 1: That's how vague I am. He says. It went for

2288
02:00:36,080 --> 02:00:38,240
Speaker 1: a touchdown about sixty seven yards. He was just so

2289
02:00:38,320 --> 02:00:44,200
Speaker 1: fast nobody could touch him. CJ was a freakishly fast guy.

2290
02:00:45,320 --> 02:00:47,880
Speaker 1: Um had one really good year where he averaged six

2291
02:00:47,920 --> 02:00:50,720
Speaker 1: yards to carry, but he liked to bounce it outside

2292
02:00:50,720 --> 02:00:54,120
Speaker 1: a little too much, sadly, and I think that kind

2293
02:00:54,120 --> 02:00:57,840
Speaker 1: of compromised the the longevity of his career. Shall we

2294
02:00:57,920 --> 02:01:01,720
Speaker 1: say what you got from Luis there, Louise. He likes

2295
02:01:01,720 --> 02:01:04,760
Speaker 1: that Sammy Watkins game winning touchdown against the Vikings in

2296
02:01:04,880 --> 02:01:07,280
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen. He said he was right in front of him,

2297
02:01:07,320 --> 02:01:10,280
Speaker 1: Section one, thirty eight, row five. Wow, good memory. You

2298
02:01:10,280 --> 02:01:15,400
Speaker 1: know exactly where you were sitting for that game? Into

2299
02:01:15,440 --> 02:01:17,240
Speaker 1: your mind? Yeah that I mean, now your section, in

2300
02:01:17,240 --> 02:01:20,040
Speaker 1: your seat, in your row like you're a season ticket. Yeah,

2301
02:01:20,040 --> 02:01:22,640
Speaker 1: you're sitting there one thirty eight also rings a belle

2302
02:01:22,680 --> 02:01:26,840
Speaker 1: of season ticket holders. Um John says, Nate Odam stole

2303
02:01:26,960 --> 02:01:29,240
Speaker 1: the football from Willie Gault and ran it in for

2304
02:01:29,280 --> 02:01:32,880
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Willie Gault Daddy Um. Also during the same game,

2305
02:01:32,960 --> 02:01:36,280
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker blocked a punt and J. D. Williams ran

2306
02:01:36,360 --> 02:01:39,200
Speaker 1: it back for a TD. So that's technically two plays

2307
02:01:39,240 --> 02:01:42,840
Speaker 1: in one game for John, how about Brian? And then

2308
02:01:42,840 --> 02:01:45,040
Speaker 1: Brian says, for me, it was back in nineteen ninety

2309
02:01:45,080 --> 02:01:48,440
Speaker 1: seven when Bruce and Phil tackled Barry Sanders in the

2310
02:01:48,560 --> 02:01:51,600
Speaker 1: end zone for essentially a game winning safety. It was

2311
02:01:51,720 --> 02:01:54,320
Speaker 1: rare that Barry would get caught in the backfield due

2312
02:01:54,360 --> 02:01:57,600
Speaker 1: to his style and elusiveness as a runner. Loyal listener,

2313
02:01:57,640 --> 02:02:00,360
Speaker 1: first time Twitter you guys, rock, Oh, thank you Brian.

2314
02:02:00,440 --> 02:02:02,920
Speaker 1: And this is see now here's where Here's where my

2315
02:02:03,000 --> 02:02:06,320
Speaker 1: memory even confuses me because I tell you, like I

2316
02:02:06,400 --> 02:02:11,000
Speaker 1: have vague recollections of games, this one I remember clearly. Yeah,

2317
02:02:11,080 --> 02:02:13,440
Speaker 1: Like I could tell you where this happened on the field.

2318
02:02:13,800 --> 02:02:16,680
Speaker 1: So it's an October game. It was a beautiful day.

2319
02:02:16,680 --> 02:02:21,240
Speaker 1: It was like sixty five degrees son no clouds, and

2320
02:02:21,800 --> 02:02:25,640
Speaker 1: Phil Hanson and Bruce crashed down the line, set the edge,

2321
02:02:25,680 --> 02:02:28,480
Speaker 1: forcing Barry back inside. There was nowhere for him to

2322
02:02:28,520 --> 02:02:31,400
Speaker 1: go there on the tunnel end zone, coming out at

2323
02:02:31,440 --> 02:02:33,280
Speaker 1: like the two yard line, and they give Barry the

2324
02:02:33,280 --> 02:02:36,840
Speaker 1: ball because he's Barry, but they just had an angle

2325
02:02:36,880 --> 02:02:38,680
Speaker 1: on him and he had nowhere to go and they

2326
02:02:38,840 --> 02:02:40,920
Speaker 1: bring him down for a safety. I think Chris Spielman

2327
02:02:41,000 --> 02:02:43,960
Speaker 1: jumped on top of the pile late there because he

2328
02:02:44,000 --> 02:02:47,760
Speaker 1: was a Bill at that point in time, and I

2329
02:02:47,840 --> 02:02:51,000
Speaker 1: think that made it. The Bills are winning twenty to thirteen.

2330
02:02:51,160 --> 02:02:53,360
Speaker 1: I think the safety made a twenty two to thirteen

2331
02:02:53,400 --> 02:02:56,160
Speaker 1: and that's that was the final score, twenty two to thirteen.

2332
02:02:56,240 --> 02:02:58,000
Speaker 1: Now I can remember a game like that, but there's

2333
02:02:58,040 --> 02:03:02,600
Speaker 1: other games. There's other games decollection of whatsoever, and I

2334
02:03:02,680 --> 02:03:06,440
Speaker 1: cannot explain it. We'll finish up with Sean who said

2335
02:03:06,520 --> 02:03:08,240
Speaker 1: I was at the game when Freddie went down at

2336
02:03:08,240 --> 02:03:10,520
Speaker 1: the one yard line to set up the game winning

2337
02:03:10,520 --> 02:03:13,440
Speaker 1: field goal against the Pats. That's twenty eleven. I've never

2338
02:03:13,560 --> 02:03:16,800
Speaker 1: hugged so many strangers in my life, and that is

2339
02:03:16,800 --> 02:03:20,200
Speaker 1: what happens when the unexpected happens and you beat an

2340
02:03:20,200 --> 02:03:22,560
Speaker 1: opponent that you really are worried. You have no chance

2341
02:03:22,560 --> 02:03:25,400
Speaker 1: of beating, and then it happens, all of a sudden,

2342
02:03:25,440 --> 02:03:28,880
Speaker 1: you love everybody, everybody that's near you. You're high five

2343
02:03:28,960 --> 02:03:33,080
Speaker 1: in people, You're hugging people, which certainly wasn't allowed last

2344
02:03:33,120 --> 02:03:34,680
Speaker 1: year when no fans were in the stands. But that

2345
02:03:34,720 --> 02:03:37,080
Speaker 1: will change, which is why I think the home opener

2346
02:03:37,120 --> 02:03:41,080
Speaker 1: this year is going to be absolutely bonkers. So I

2347
02:03:41,200 --> 02:03:45,400
Speaker 1: look forward to that. But we also wanted to get

2348
02:03:45,440 --> 02:03:49,760
Speaker 1: to some NFL True Falls, brought to you by Yancy's

2349
02:03:49,800 --> 02:03:54,160
Speaker 1: Fancy New York's Artists and Cheese, and I pose the

2350
02:03:54,200 --> 02:03:57,360
Speaker 1: first one to you, Maddie An NFL True Falls. We

2351
02:03:57,440 --> 02:04:01,920
Speaker 1: saw a wild quarterback turnover this office season. True or false.

2352
02:04:02,040 --> 02:04:06,600
Speaker 1: NFL will have more quarterback turnover in twenty twenty two

2353
02:04:07,160 --> 02:04:10,920
Speaker 1: than in twenty twenty one. I don't have the full count,

2354
02:04:10,960 --> 02:04:13,040
Speaker 1: but I want to say it's up around fourteen or

2355
02:04:13,080 --> 02:04:16,920
Speaker 1: fifteen quarterbacks in new places. So we had I believe

2356
02:04:17,000 --> 02:04:19,920
Speaker 1: Nate Davis wrote this article, and we had him on

2357
02:04:20,200 --> 02:04:23,640
Speaker 1: last week, Steve and I did, and he got into

2358
02:04:24,040 --> 02:04:27,080
Speaker 1: all the quarterback turnover that could happen this next season,

2359
02:04:27,160 --> 02:04:30,720
Speaker 1: and I think he has convinced me that there could

2360
02:04:30,720 --> 02:04:33,240
Speaker 1: be more quarterback turnover in twenty twenty two than twenty

2361
02:04:33,240 --> 02:04:35,120
Speaker 1: twenty one. He went through some of the teams, went

2362
02:04:35,160 --> 02:04:37,480
Speaker 1: through some of the teams that you also would not

2363
02:04:37,520 --> 02:04:40,760
Speaker 1: be expecting that could have some quarterback turnover, And I

2364
02:04:40,800 --> 02:04:43,080
Speaker 1: think when we talked to him, he said his count

2365
02:04:43,200 --> 02:04:47,240
Speaker 1: was like seventeen teams could see quarterback turnover in twenty

2366
02:04:47,280 --> 02:04:50,360
Speaker 1: twenty two, just because there's a decent amount of quarterbacks

2367
02:04:50,360 --> 02:04:53,120
Speaker 1: here on teams twenty twenty one that are not sure

2368
02:04:53,200 --> 02:04:57,080
Speaker 1: fire quarterbacks for the future. I mean, I think Pittsburgh's are,

2369
02:04:57,160 --> 02:05:00,480
Speaker 1: given Roethlisberger's probably retiring, Yeah, this year. That's one right

2370
02:05:00,520 --> 02:05:04,640
Speaker 1: off the bat, just because of retirement. The Deshaun Watson

2371
02:05:04,640 --> 02:05:09,960
Speaker 1: thing's gonna get messy. That's probably another one. Um. I'm

2372
02:05:10,000 --> 02:05:12,600
Speaker 1: just thinking, I'm trying to think of the automatics. Denver's

2373
02:05:12,600 --> 02:05:18,600
Speaker 1: a mess that's probably three. Um. Is Detroit gonna work?

2374
02:05:18,680 --> 02:05:20,960
Speaker 1: That's really iffy. But I don't know if i'd call

2375
02:05:21,000 --> 02:05:27,920
Speaker 1: it a lock. Cincinnati's sticking with Burrow Dolphins. Dolphins with two.

2376
02:05:28,000 --> 02:05:33,800
Speaker 1: If it goes south, that could be that's South Daniel Jones, Okay,

2377
02:05:34,040 --> 02:05:37,080
Speaker 1: Giant can give you that one. Fits in Washington, that's

2378
02:05:37,120 --> 02:05:41,520
Speaker 1: probably Guy Oh God, Eagles. Jalen hurts, Yeah, that could happen.

2379
02:05:41,600 --> 02:05:46,440
Speaker 1: Washington Football team find your way to seventeen teams pretty easily.

2380
02:05:46,480 --> 02:05:51,600
Speaker 1: I just, man, I just don't think Atlanta Falcons. Yeah, yeah,

2381
02:05:51,640 --> 02:05:55,000
Speaker 1: there might be a change there. You're right, might be

2382
02:05:56,200 --> 02:05:59,760
Speaker 1: more than fifteen, more than half the league. Man, I don't.

2383
02:05:59,760 --> 02:06:02,000
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna happen. It's not gonna happen

2384
02:06:02,000 --> 02:06:04,640
Speaker 1: for half the league. But he did make a really

2385
02:06:04,640 --> 02:06:07,280
Speaker 1: good argument point that. I was like, I don't think

2386
02:06:07,320 --> 02:06:09,840
Speaker 1: it's I don't think it's outlandis where we're like, ah,

2387
02:06:10,120 --> 02:06:14,240
Speaker 1: you're you're that's ridiculous. I don't think it's ridiculous. I

2388
02:06:14,280 --> 02:06:17,960
Speaker 1: think though, it's still more unlikely than likely. So for

2389
02:06:17,960 --> 02:06:20,560
Speaker 1: for that, at least for now, I'll say full. Okay,

2390
02:06:20,800 --> 02:06:23,680
Speaker 1: So that's where I'm gonna land on that one. NFL

2391
02:06:23,760 --> 02:06:28,480
Speaker 1: true false Number two Belichick versus Peyton Week three, Saints

2392
02:06:28,480 --> 02:06:32,640
Speaker 1: at Patriots is the best coaching matchup in twenty twenty one.

2393
02:06:32,720 --> 02:06:34,960
Speaker 1: I had to look in this article to find the

2394
02:06:35,000 --> 02:06:38,640
Speaker 1: other ones. Yeah, I'm looking right now too. I mean,

2395
02:06:38,680 --> 02:06:40,160
Speaker 1: that is always a good one. I think a lot

2396
02:06:40,200 --> 02:06:42,960
Speaker 1: of people would consider Peyton one of the top three

2397
02:06:43,040 --> 02:06:46,360
Speaker 1: offensive head coaches in the league, maybe with Sean McVay,

2398
02:06:47,880 --> 02:06:52,640
Speaker 1: maybe Kyle Shanahan. Um trying to think of some others

2399
02:06:52,680 --> 02:06:55,240
Speaker 1: that are not coming fast to my head right now,

2400
02:06:55,560 --> 02:06:58,920
Speaker 1: but he's he's at or near the top in terms

2401
02:06:58,920 --> 02:07:04,040
Speaker 1: of offensive coach is then you have Belichick, who's probably

2402
02:07:04,080 --> 02:07:06,600
Speaker 1: considered the best, certainly the best coach of this generation,

2403
02:07:06,680 --> 02:07:12,480
Speaker 1: maybe of all time, and comes from defensive roots. So

2404
02:07:13,240 --> 02:07:15,400
Speaker 1: it's an attractive matchup. I don't think there's any question

2405
02:07:15,440 --> 02:07:17,720
Speaker 1: about it. It's probably top three on the NFL calendar

2406
02:07:17,760 --> 02:07:21,040
Speaker 1: this year, is it the best? And I think you

2407
02:07:21,120 --> 02:07:26,640
Speaker 1: have to decide what it is that makes a coaching

2408
02:07:26,680 --> 02:07:31,000
Speaker 1: matchup attractive for you. I like the offense defense scheming

2409
02:07:31,160 --> 02:07:34,720
Speaker 1: element of this one, but I also kind of like

2410
02:07:34,800 --> 02:07:39,640
Speaker 1: the rivalry stuff, Like I know that the Patriots have

2411
02:07:39,800 --> 02:07:42,600
Speaker 1: to play the Titans this year, and knowing that Vrabel

2412
02:07:42,720 --> 02:07:44,960
Speaker 1: was a former player for Belichick, I kind of like that.

2413
02:07:45,200 --> 02:07:48,440
Speaker 1: You know there's respect there, but there's also a hyper

2414
02:07:48,480 --> 02:07:52,280
Speaker 1: competitiveness to that matchup that I like. That's very appealing

2415
02:07:52,360 --> 02:07:54,520
Speaker 1: to me. I mean, I'm going to pull the I'm

2416
02:07:54,560 --> 02:07:58,400
Speaker 1: biased card, and I also like the coaching tree matchups.

2417
02:07:59,200 --> 02:08:03,600
Speaker 1: I like storyline that's already surrounding the Week five matchup

2418
02:08:03,680 --> 02:08:07,240
Speaker 1: Bills Chiefs. Okay, third time is a charm for the

2419
02:08:07,280 --> 02:08:12,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Can we get them? Read? And mcdermottot come

2420
02:08:12,160 --> 02:08:15,920
Speaker 1: from comes from his coaching tree, that's right now. McDermott

2421
02:08:15,920 --> 02:08:19,080
Speaker 1: did beat Andy in twenty seventeen. Yes he's got one

2422
02:08:19,120 --> 02:08:23,240
Speaker 1: wing got one? Does he get another? I don't know.

2423
02:08:23,360 --> 02:08:25,800
Speaker 1: So I'm liking that. I don't. I think there's too

2424
02:08:25,800 --> 02:08:30,680
Speaker 1: many other great coaching matchups to say this is the

2425
02:08:30,800 --> 02:08:34,440
Speaker 1: best one, because there are some great matchups in general

2426
02:08:34,520 --> 02:08:39,920
Speaker 1: this season that I'm I'm looking forward to already and

2427
02:08:40,080 --> 02:08:42,480
Speaker 1: going to be a fan of the NFL just watching

2428
02:08:42,520 --> 02:08:44,640
Speaker 1: some of these matchups that are on the schedule for

2429
02:08:44,720 --> 02:08:48,440
Speaker 1: this year. It's it's a top it's a top five,

2430
02:08:48,560 --> 02:08:52,040
Speaker 1: or I'll say that. But again, I I kind of

2431
02:08:52,080 --> 02:08:57,920
Speaker 1: side with the um the rivalry things, and I think

2432
02:08:57,960 --> 02:09:01,160
Speaker 1: Belichick and vrabel is a rivalry. They will face each other.

2433
02:09:01,840 --> 02:09:04,320
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say false because I prefer those over

2434
02:09:04,360 --> 02:09:10,520
Speaker 1: this one. I like the emotional elements to a coaching

2435
02:09:10,760 --> 02:09:13,960
Speaker 1: matchup more than the schematic ones, although the schematic ones

2436
02:09:14,000 --> 02:09:16,760
Speaker 1: have their you know, redeeming qualities also, But I'm gonna

2437
02:09:16,800 --> 02:09:20,240
Speaker 1: say false. Last one NFL true falls Falcons are the

2438
02:09:20,280 --> 02:09:24,280
Speaker 1: most likely team to go from worse to first in

2439
02:09:24,320 --> 02:09:26,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. Now I have to think about the

2440
02:09:26,360 --> 02:09:35,000
Speaker 1: divisions hard and fast. Here Jets, Bengals, Jags, Broncos, Eagles,

2441
02:09:35,000 --> 02:09:39,960
Speaker 1: Falcons forty nine ers, forty nine ers. I like as

2442
02:09:40,000 --> 02:09:46,160
Speaker 1: a pick, I like the for I like the Falcons

2443
02:09:46,160 --> 02:09:49,840
Speaker 1: aren't beating the Bucks into the NFC South, aren't they. No, No,

2444
02:09:50,040 --> 02:09:52,720
Speaker 1: that's not going to happen. I'm going to forty nine.

2445
02:09:52,720 --> 02:09:54,720
Speaker 1: I'm riding forty nine ers here, So I am going

2446
02:09:54,760 --> 02:09:59,240
Speaker 1: to say false. I don't see the Falcons beating the

2447
02:09:59,320 --> 02:10:02,600
Speaker 1: Bucks either. But I did say when we did the

2448
02:10:02,640 --> 02:10:08,640
Speaker 1: podcast about breaking down the schedule and some teams that

2449
02:10:08,680 --> 02:10:10,640
Speaker 1: we think could maybe be a little bit better on

2450
02:10:10,680 --> 02:10:12,880
Speaker 1: the schedule or a team that we thought I think,

2451
02:10:12,880 --> 02:10:15,800
Speaker 1: the question was like who could maybe make the playoffs

2452
02:10:15,840 --> 02:10:19,800
Speaker 1: on our schedule that you want? And I said the Falcons.

2453
02:10:20,000 --> 02:10:22,680
Speaker 1: I remember you and Eric were like, what go ahead,

2454
02:10:23,000 --> 02:10:25,400
Speaker 1: come on? Or it was what was what's gonna be

2455
02:10:25,400 --> 02:10:26,920
Speaker 1: a heart what's going to be a trap game that

2456
02:10:26,920 --> 02:10:28,640
Speaker 1: you don't think will be a trap game? Or something

2457
02:10:28,680 --> 02:10:31,600
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, I don't think I would. I would

2458
02:10:32,160 --> 02:10:34,240
Speaker 1: the Falcons out of hand. Did I dismiss them quickly?

2459
02:10:34,320 --> 02:10:36,920
Speaker 1: Did I do? Not quickly? Okay, but I did. You

2460
02:10:36,960 --> 02:10:40,640
Speaker 1: guys had good You guys had good answers. My answer

2461
02:10:40,800 --> 02:10:45,680
Speaker 1: was yeah, My answer was the most far off. I

2462
02:10:45,720 --> 02:10:48,040
Speaker 1: think the reason why was because I was picking another

2463
02:10:48,160 --> 02:10:53,760
Speaker 1: NFC shealth. Yes, that's probably why. Okay, I'm saying false too. Yeah, yeah,

2464
02:10:53,880 --> 02:10:55,880
Speaker 1: they're not getting I don't think anybody in that division

2465
02:10:55,960 --> 02:10:57,640
Speaker 1: is getting past the bucks. The books are gonna win

2466
02:10:57,720 --> 02:11:01,320
Speaker 1: the NFC South, I think, quite easily, unless they run

2467
02:11:01,360 --> 02:11:02,920
Speaker 1: into a rash of injuries, and then you never know

2468
02:11:02,960 --> 02:11:05,120
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. All right, that's NFL True Falls,

2486
02:12:15,600 --> 02:12:18,280
Speaker 1: it means for the team going forward. We had Pdon

2487
02:12:18,360 --> 02:12:20,920
Speaker 1: earlier in the show and he was kind of laying

2488
02:12:20,960 --> 02:12:23,360
Speaker 1: it out for us in terms of why he felt

2489
02:12:23,440 --> 02:12:26,160
Speaker 1: he was the ultimate choice. Yeah, he told us a

2490
02:12:26,160 --> 02:12:29,000
Speaker 1: couple of reasons was why we should be excited for

2491
02:12:29,160 --> 02:12:31,600
Speaker 1: this higher and that he thought it was the guy

2492
02:12:31,720 --> 02:12:34,200
Speaker 1: for a while after the season ended. Just hearing what

2493
02:12:34,240 --> 02:12:38,360
Speaker 1: the players had to say in their season ending wrap

2494
02:12:38,440 --> 02:12:41,640
Speaker 1: up press conferences, just how highly they spoke of him,

2495
02:12:41,760 --> 02:12:44,600
Speaker 1: the continuity that they have together, the fact that he

2496
02:12:44,640 --> 02:12:47,360
Speaker 1: has a good relationship with the dressing room, and the

2497
02:12:47,400 --> 02:12:50,440
Speaker 1: fact that that can translate onto the ice. He thought

2498
02:12:50,440 --> 02:12:53,120
Speaker 1: it was a no brainer and thinks that this team

2499
02:12:53,160 --> 02:12:56,680
Speaker 1: has some talent and couple it with him where he's been,

2500
02:12:56,840 --> 02:13:01,400
Speaker 1: his familiarity with the team, with the organization, that some

2501
02:13:01,520 --> 02:13:04,839
Speaker 1: good things can come of this. Yeah, last few tweets
