1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: Oh, a great time. I'll watch Steve Plasterer go to

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: the docks down, down, down, that's not a time there.

3
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: We got three hour tour begins Jeomeraphy, Steam Tasker one

4
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: Bills five presented by a Lot of Health for this

5
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: Thursday afternoon, the last day of April. What a month

6
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: it has been, Steve, It's been an amazing month. I'll

7
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: be kind of glad when May comes. Yeah, well it's tomorrow.

8
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: I don't let's face to April twenty twenty has not

9
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: been a highlight of our lives. No, And the second

10
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: half of March wasn't that great either, And actually the

11
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: first half of May night may not be that great.

12
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: But I do think, don't you think people are beginning

13
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: to see the light at the end of the tunnel

14
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: a little bit? I think so. Plus, I think that

15
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: we're getting to the point where we've got to we've

16
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: got this kind of hand a lid on this thing. Now,

17
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: you know, our lifestyles now and during down and during isolation,

18
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: we're kind of getting you know, a routine at least,

19
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: right we're getting used to some of the things that

20
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: we can and can't do, or have to do and

21
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: can't do, and so I think it's yeah, I think

22
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: we do. That helps us feel more comfortable where we're at,

23
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: and that makes a light at the end of the

24
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: tunnel seem maybe a little closer than it is. Yeah,

25
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: you're comfortable where you're at. I'm not that comfortable. I

26
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: want to get out. I want to do something. I mean, no,

27
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: I'm comfortable. I am. I am ready to I am

28
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: ready to do something else, that's for sure. I mean

29
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: it's like I'm still under that thing where we finished

30
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: the show, and I think, all right, this is gonna

31
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: be great. Got We've done work for the day, and

32
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: all of a sudden it's like, well, my life has

33
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: not changed. It used to take a half hour to

34
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: get to that point. Now it takes about five minutes.

35
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: About five after three. Once again we're lying, oh yeah,

36
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: but whatever. We're just whining in because we have a

37
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: good we're healthy, we're happy, we're home, everybody's healthy and

38
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: my family, so I'm good. I don't want to complain

39
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: too much. You know, there's a lot of things to

40
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: complaining about. It's amazing too that our field is one

41
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: of the things you can do remotely. Yeah, well we're

42
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: gonna have this conversation for three hours every day about

43
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: the bills in the NFL and all the stuff that

44
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: we talk about and not have to be together to

45
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 1: do it, and we can share it with everybody who

46
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: listens and comes back and listens to the podcast and

47
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: all that. It's amazing that our conversation we don't have

48
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: to be, you know, even in the same zip code

49
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: to have it. We're not right, Yeah, yeah, it's good. Seven.

50
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: What's your zip code? One four five two. We're not

51
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: even in the same zip code. I feel like I

52
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: should open up a private bar called the one four

53
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: oh five two and only people with the driver's licensees

54
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: of that zip code can come in. I don't know.

55
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: I think it'd be I think it'd be incredibly elitist

56
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: making the bars. I get a text from Steve yesterday.

57
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: It says, Hey, look for that this beer on your

58
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: front porch any minute now. And I look and nothing.

59
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: I went back ten minutes later, Look, it went back

60
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: a half hour later. Nothing. What. I'm sitting here in

61
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: my office and I look out the front window and

62
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: and my driveway kind of crosses in front of where

63
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: my office window is right and the front doors like

64
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: next to where my office is, and I look out

65
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 1: and this car pulls up and my buddy gets out

66
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: of it, out of the car and he walks up

67
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 1: and he's the owner of the of a brewery here

68
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: in Ea, right right, yeah, And so he comes up

69
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: and he kind of just gives me kind of the salute,

70
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: runs up on the on the porch with a four

71
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: pack of sixteen ounce Pilsners and and runs up and

72
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: texts me, hey, here's a little something for the isolation,

73
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: to get you through the isolation, right, And he knows

74
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: how much. It's the pilsner from that brewer, and I

75
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: love it. I mean, it's my my favorite beer. So

76
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: he hands it to me and he says, also, Murph

77
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: is on my list. So I just took it for

78
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,839
Speaker 1: grant that he already made it over to your house

79
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: and dropped it off. And obviously he was just talking

80
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: because he didn't get you, get to you, or he

81
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: did he did, and Jack, Jack, your son was leaving, goes, oh,

82
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,200

84
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: a picture from Steve Canna the pilsner. So now I'm thinking, oh,

85
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: that'll be good. I can't wait to get that. That'll

86
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: make today a little different. Nothing. Even before I went

87
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: to bed at ten thirty last night, looked on the

88
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: front step. It was so good. You know why it

91
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: what the heck else do I have to do? Really?

92
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: You know, have you looked through your recycling bucket later there? No,

93
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: I haven't. Was Jack here yesterday? This is the thing.

94
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,159

154
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: the Bills anyway, and Kim came on. Kim Pagoula came

155
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: on to set a few words. That was nice, and

156
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: then we had Adam Schefter popped on as well. Um,

157
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: so I'm dinner. That was I think I tried to count.

158
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: Brandon bean has been doing so many zooms for Bills

159
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: fans and Bills groups and in their in appreciation for

160
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: all the partners we've got. I think that was the

161
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: or fourth one that I've done with Brandon over the

162
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: last five days. And uh, it's interesting too because that

163
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: has been a new thing. He did a lot of

164
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: that for Uh. He did a lot of that for

165
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: the scouting in the run up for the in the

166
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: run up to the draft as well, so it was

167
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: it was fun to have him on and UH and

168
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: get that done one of the things. Also we said

169
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: Tyler Bass was coming on um at the bottom of

170
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: the hour. Uh. We're just getting started here on one

171
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: Bills Live. UM. We've had some issues with the in

172
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: the in the last part of the Instigators, they were

173
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: starting to have some issues technically. Our boy Jay Harris

174
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: was he kind of got over those issues. Um. His

175
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: Internet at his house was popping in and out, so

176
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: it was an issue for him for a couple of

177
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: seconds at a time. We may have that, So I

178
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: want everybody out there to know to know that we

179
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: may struggle a little bit technically here today. Murph. I

180
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: think right now might have a problem with his microphone.

181
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna keep talking and give it back

182
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: to him when he pops back on and we gotta

183
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: We also have a Twitter poll that we're gonna go

184
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: to as well. A Twitter poll today. It's been out

185
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: for a while. It is other than Steph Diggs, and

186
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: we're taking it for granted that everybody loves Steph Diggs.

187
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: The addition of him, Who's been your Favorite offseason? Addition

188
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: is that one of the draft picks is one of

189
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 1: the free agents. Give us a call or text us

190
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: or a tweet at us. Don't text us, give us

191
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: a call at eight oh three oh five fifteen or

192
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. You can

193
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: call us or tweet at us as well. Other than

194
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs, Who's been your favorite offseason? Edition, I've got

195
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: my own, And in fact, I went kind of went

196
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: off the board where some people might not have agreed

197
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 1: with me one of the favorite guys, and I always

198
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: kind of go this route when we when new additions

199
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: are brought on to the team. One of the guys

200
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: I always one of the additions I always point to

201
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: is making a big difference is coaches. Sean McDermott hired

202
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: Eric Washington as a defensive line coach this year. He's

203
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: a guy who has had great production in his time

204
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: as a defensive line coach, and I think that guy

205
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: might make a big difference for the Buffalo Bills this season.

206
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: With the new additions and with a new coach inside

207
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: the building, I think that may be the most unsung

208
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: addition to the Bill's staff and the Bill's roster. So

209
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to that. I don't know what will

210
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: happen down the line. I don't know how many of

211
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 1: any of the I'm sure there's gonna be some of

212
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: the additions these players that will make a big difference

213
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: for the squad, but I don't know that anyone player

214
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: will have as much as much effect as one good

215
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: position coach will. I know. When I was playing as

216
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver there I had a handful of

217
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: coaches as a wide receiver, and obviously a special team's

218
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: coach in Bruce to Have, and Bruce made a big

219
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: difference for me. But I also had some great position coaches,

220
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: one of which was Charlie Joyner, who was a great

221
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: player played for a long time as an out Haul

222
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: of Famer. The other position coach that I always point

223
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: to is maybe being the guy who helped me the

224
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: most as a wide out was a guy named Nick

225
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: nickol Out. He was here in the early days of

226
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: the no huddle. He came from the Denver Broncos by

227
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: way of the Oakland Raiders. He had a lot of

228
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: success with the Denver Broncos. He was with them on

229
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: a couple of trips to the Super Bowl that they

230
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: were unsuccessful in. But Nick was maybe one of the

231
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: greatest coaches I've ever had. So I think today, in

232
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: answer to our Twitter poll, other than Stephan Diggs, what

233
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: my favorite addition offseason edition was, I think it was

234
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: Eric Washington For me, I have high hopes for him

235
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 1: and what he can do to help the defensive line.

236
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: We're still waiting on Merf's microphone to get fixed and

237
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: we'll see if he can. And you got something to say, Jay, Well,

238
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: I can help you out here if you want me

239
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: to tune in to add to that. But the Eric

240
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: Washington addition, I think you're right, and it's evident by

241
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: the Carolina pack that they seem to have followed to Buffalo,

242
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: and that has been evident on the defensive line. They

243
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: brought in players like Vernon Butler and Mario Addison who

244
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: has had success under Eric Washington, and the latest one

245
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: is is Brian Cox Junior. Yesterday, we're seeing it again.

246
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: So I guess you could go back to your coach

247
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: that you had had. Did you see that before where

248
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: certain players would follow position coaches because they know they've

249
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: worked with that type of player. You see it a lot,

250
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: because you'll see guys an assistant coach will come to

251
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo and I'll give you an example, perfect example the

252
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: guy was speaking about just a minute ago. Nick Nikolau

253
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: came to Buffalo from the Oakland Raiders and he got

254
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: fired by Al because he gave also pushback in the

255
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: staff meet he gave. He told us the story one

256
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: time and he gave al little pushback in a staff meeting,

257
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: and an Al said, he says, um, you neither quit

258
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: or I'll fire you. Um. So Nick left. Um, he

259
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: says I'll fired him, but technically he didn't. So Nickin's

260
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: up in Buffalo, and so he's here in Buffalo and

261
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: he's here for this season, and late in the season

262
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna make a mover or some change the wide out.

263
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: James Lofton had played for Nick In in LA for

264
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Nick knew him really well. They came in,

265
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: they worked Nick out, they worked out Walter Broughton, and

266
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: they worked out another guy who I can't remember, and

267
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: sure enough Nick said, hey, James can play. And Nick

268
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: Nick was part of the voice that talked Marv and

269
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: Bill and said, listen, I like this guy. He can play.

270
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: He's a good starting wide receiver. And they hired James

271
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: Lofton on Nick's recommendation. And of course James, you know,

272
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: went to the Hall of Fame after was with the

273
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: Bills flu four Super Bowls and was a was a

274
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: real catalyst in elevating the whole offense because of what

275
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: he brought. So it's fun so that that has happened.

276
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: And I'm sure Eric Washington had a voice in the

277
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: signing of Brian Cox Junior and all these other guys

278
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: from the you know, the Darryl Williams, the offensive tackle.

279
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: He probably had a voice in that. Uh. He had

280
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: probably had a voice in a Mario Addison for sure,

281
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: and of course Vernon Butler as well, and getting the

282
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: best out of these guys. Whether maybe Vernon Butler didn't

283
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: work out in Carolina the way they wanted too and

284
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: last year he kind of had to rise up. But

285
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: maybe he knows he can get the best out of

286
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: these guys. Yeah, maybe I don't know. Murphy, you back,

287
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: Are you with us? You know you're back here? Are

288
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: you muted? Now? You gotta you gotta hang up and

289
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: pick back up. Now there you go. I'm sorry. I'm

290
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: sorry for what the bethroom breaker, the fact that I mute. Okay,

291
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: you can take a bathroom break anytime you want. Okay,

292
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: I'm going right now. Yeah, where I was talking with

293
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: my answer to the Twitter poll. I put the Twitter

294
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: poll out there about other than Steph Diggs was your

295
00:14:55,760 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: favorite acquisition, and I said, defensive line coach Eric Washington. Um,

296
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: I think he'll affect their thing. He hit their ability

297
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: in their production. Here's the thing. During his time in

298
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: Carolina as a whole, their defensive lineman had the most

299
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: sacks over the course of his career in Carolina than

300
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: any other team in the NFL. So he got the

301
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: most out of them whatever guys they had lined up there,

302
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: And for me, I don't think Carolina ever had. Um, Now,

303
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: what was the guy what's the guy's name in LA

304
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: the defensive lineman Aaron Donald, Aaron Donald. He didn't have

305
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: any Aaron Donald's lining up in Carolina. He had these

306
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: other guys and as a group, they were as productive

307
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: as any defensive line in the league for the years

308
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: that Eric Washington was in Carolina. So I'm I'm excited

309
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: about his ability to get him more out of our

310
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: defensive line. I like that. I like that. I'll go

311
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: to the draft and I'll go to aj Epeness. I

312
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: think he is in line to play as many snaps

313
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: as any of the rookies right now. You know, I

314
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: really think so he's gonna play a lot. It'll be

315
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: part of the regular defensive rotation, and I think I'll

316
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: have a role to play. As far as offseason additions

317
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: free agents, who is my favorite, I don't know. I'm curious.

318
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: I don't know who he's my favorite. I'm curious to

319
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: see what Josh Norman has to offer the Bills. Right

320
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: he may start, he may not be curious to see

321
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: what he has to offer. He could. I'll tell you

322
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: my favorite is as far as a guy that I

323
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: like watching play, Tyder Madakevitch, who was a great special

324
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: teamer for the Pittsburgh Steelers backup Blind Becker, but a

325
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: tremendous special teamer. And I think Matti Keevitch would probably

326
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: be my favorite offseason addition for the Bills. But or

327
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: epinessa who I think is gonna play. Give us a

328
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: call and let us know if you think eighth three

329
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: five fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty

330
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: two five fifty. You think about it, Steve the Bills.

331
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: I know they thought their special teams were a little

332
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: substandard last year. And they've added a kicker obviously he's

333
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: gonna be with us in a couple of minutes, Tyler Bess.

334
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: But they add Meta Keevich, who's a premier special teamer.

335
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: They bring back Taiwan Jones. They resigned Isaiah McKenzie who

336
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: can play some special teams. Dean Marlow was a good

337
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: special teamer. I think, you know, I think they have

338
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: paid attention to not just offense and defense, but special teams.

339
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: I believe during this offseason, don't you think, Yeah, they

340
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: attacked it on all fronts. They they hired Vedvik, signed

341
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: him in the off season. They got to Tyler Bass

342
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: coming in along with you know, Stephen Houske is a

343
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: good kicker as well. I mean, they've got some guys

344
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: they brought in some competition for Vedvik is going to

345
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: compete with Corey Barerquez, So they brought competition and both specialists.

346
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see. Plus they brought some guys

347
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: in that can really cover Taiwan Jones Meta Kevic he

348
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: said Tyler Metakevic. He's gonna help Taiwan Jones Metakevich could

349
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: transform their coverage teams. It'll be fun to watch ye

350
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: take a phone call here. Let's go to Dan and

351
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: Orchard Parcolo. Dan, you're on the air, all right, Good morning, guys,

352
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 1: Good afternoon. I'm all right. Get some insight from you guys. Obviously,

353
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: with the new numbers that were handed out, Jake from

354
00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: was awarded number ten. Last ain't Jack Colby's leave war

355
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: than number, and I haven't been able to find out

356
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: any updated information with that. You know, I think Beasley

357
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: was eleven with the Cowboys, and I wouldn't be surprised

358
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 1: if you know, he came here a year ago and

359
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: Zay Jones is wearing number eleven, Right, he probably said,

360
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: I'm not going to bump that guy. I'll take number

361
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: ten whatever, And now number eleven is open. And I

362
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: haven't talked to him. I haven't talked to anybody, but

363
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me if Beasley just said, oh, eleven's open,

364
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: I'll take it, and ten goes to Jake Frown. Does

365
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: that sound feasible? What do you think? Absolutely? Obviously it

366
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: was more of a concern you know, we just upgrade

367
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: our wide receiver role. And of course, me being the

368
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: ultimate Bill's fan, I've suddenly started becoming concerned about what's

369
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: going on. Mcole Beasley. I can't I can't find that

370
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: thing on him. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprising. Steve, you

371
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:46,919
Speaker 1: got your roster up. You said you were looking at

372
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: it earlier. It may have changed. Is he eleven or

373
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: nothing yet? It's now hold on, let me just do

374
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,239
Speaker 1: this here. He might still be ten. Sometimes they take

375
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 1: a day or two to update that on the rosters

376
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: with the numbers, all the numbers they're out for the

377
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: seven draft picks. Epinens is we're in fifty seven, Lorenzo

378
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: Alexander's old number. Number twenty is going to be Zach Moss.

379
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: Number three is Gabriel Davis, number ten Jake from number two,

380
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: Tyler Bass. The kickers coming up on our show in

381
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: a minute or two. Eighty seven is Isaiah Hodgens and

382
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 1: number thirty is Dan Jackson. Yeah, they have not made

383
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: the changes of that. Cool Beasley still listed as number ten.

384
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: Tyler Bass has number two. Yeah, that's all there is.

385
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,959
Speaker 1: Beasley has not been changed yet, and there is no

386
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: eleven on the roster, so they'll they'll make those changes

387
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: soon enough. I guess. I'm guessing Beasley, we'll go to

388
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: eleven and from we'll take over ten for nows. I

389
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: answer your question, is that all you got, Dan? That's

390
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: what I have for you guys today. I certainly appreciate it.

391
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: Thank you for all the great work you've done. And

392
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: please stay healthy. Okay, thank you, thank you. You don't

393
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 1: have to thank us for the great work. We're not

394
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: doing anything working at our homes, taking the restroom breaks

395
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: in the middle of the segment. It's easy, right, see,

396
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: that's right. That might have been the first. All right,

397
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: we got the number two Tyler Bass coming up in

398
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: a moment or two. The Bill's a draft pick. The

399
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,959
Speaker 1: kicker from Georgia Southern will take a break, and then

400
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: we'll get the Tyler Bass. Come on back. One Bill's Live,

401
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health from Radio only Today from our homes.

402
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio. We're gonna talk with Tyler Bass.

403
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: Bills a rookie coming up in a minute or two.

404
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: He is gonna call us. I believe he's home and

405
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: he's sixth round pick from Georgia southern I believe he's home.

406
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: He maybe in South Carolina, that's where he's from. It's

407
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: interesting and we'll hear. We'll hear from Sean McDermott as

408
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: we move along two thirties doing a news conference Steve

409
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: and we'll pick it up live. But it's interesting that

410
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: the Bills will send out to their rookies if they

411
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 1: haven't already the plan for basically a rookie a rookie minicamp,

412
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: or a rookie conditioning program, which they normally would conduct

413
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: at the stadium. We can get some details from Sean

414
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: as to what it will look like and what they're

415
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: expecting players to do. I would imagine most of it

416
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: is meeting time. I don't know what you would tell

417
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: a kicker to do, but for a play around offense

418
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: or defense, you'd send them to play a book and

419
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: said dig into this. What would you do for a kicker.

420
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: I wonder, Yeah, that's a good question. Um, I don't know.

421
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know either. If you keep kicking,

422
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Tyler batt he works with one

423
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: of the top kicking coaches in the country, a guy

424
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: named Chris Sailor, a guy works with a ton of

425
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: NFL kickers and Um has for quite some time, so

426
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: he may have more of an idea about what Tyler

427
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 1: Bass should be doing in the off season as well.

428
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what you do except work on your

429
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: swing right, Um, stay fit, Um, it's you know, all

430
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: the technical things that kickers think about their plant foot

431
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: they're swing through. I don't know, Um, did you see

432
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: some of the video with Tyler Bass And now now

433
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: that he's a draft pick of the Bills, we're seeing

434
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: a lot of it. But he made a fifty yard

435
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: field goal without running up to it, just like from

436
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: a standing position. That's kind of impressive, right. I'm sure

437
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: that's the type of thing he'll continue to do. Right,

438
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: very impressive. I'd like to know what kind of football

439
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:08,959
Speaker 1: he was kicking in that moment. I might have been

440
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: might have been a nerve for all I know, But yeah,

441
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: he hit it good. And that's a lot of what

442
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: makes a kicker successful or not is what the balls

443
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: are like that he's kicking. And it'll be interesting to

444
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: see because most of them and I don't know what

445
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: they allow him to do. At Georgia Southerner in the NCAA,

446
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: but of course in practice, they kick the same footballs

447
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: over and over and over and over, so those balls

448
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: become pretty mushy. And in the NFL, at one point

449
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: they took him right out of the box and gave

450
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: him to the kicker, so it was literally like kicking him,

451
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: you know, a rock. And now they've kind of started

452
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: to let him, you know, work those balls over a

453
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: little bit. But that has as much to do with

454
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: the kickers success as anything. But most of his technicals

455
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: of it. I don't know, what do you do practice

456
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: rubbing the footballs down in the off season? Maybe I

457
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: don't know, but it's a hard question for he got it.

458
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: You want to stay busy, I guess all. You just

459
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: work out right, Yeah, sure, that's all most of them

460
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 1: will do. Hey, the news. The biggest news in the

461
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 1: NFL today the news from Cincinnati where they drafted the

462
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: quarterback Joe Burrow last Thursday, a week ago, and one

463
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: week later, Andy Dalton's run is over is being released.

464
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: According to ESPN, Andy Dalton's been the Bengals primary starter

465
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 1: since he was a second round pick in twenty eleven.

466
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: He's thirty two years old. Dalton led the Bengals to

467
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: the playoff five times, they lost in the wildcout round

468
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 1: each time. He is the Cincinnati Bengals franchise leader in

469
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: touchdown passes, which is significant considering you know Boomers Sisson

470
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: and Kenny Anderson before him. He was gonna earn seventeen

471
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: point seven million this final year of a six year deal.

472
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: Bengals can't wait. They're going with Joe Burrow. What do

473
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: you think of that move, Steve, And where do you

474
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 1: think don't wind up? Yeah? I know that the Bengals

475
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: probably would have been interested in trading him, getting something

476
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: for him, But clearing the decks side, I don't know

477
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: how wise it is. I think it probably They had

478
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: probably had a conversation with the head coach about the

479
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: wisdom of it not having a veteran quarterback to back

480
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: him up, or least particularly a guy like Dalton. But

481
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: if they were committed, and I and I can see

482
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 1: it happening, If they were committed to giving Joe Burrow

483
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: all the snaps, Andy Dalton was nothing but an obstacle

484
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: to that. And that's and plus he's an obstacle that,

485
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: like you said, has costing him seventeen point seven million bucks.

486
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: It makes a lot of sense to that Dalton is

487
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: not on the roster. The question is, and there's been

488
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: wild speculation already, that how long is it gonna take

489
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick to get Andy Dalton in New England or

490
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: where does Andy Dalton find a home? I always thought

491
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton was a pretty good quarterback. I liked I

492
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: liked him as certainly there were some wildcard games for

493
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: the Bengals when the reason they lost that the finger

494
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: was pointed directly at Andy Dalton. They just didn't think

495
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 1: he made enough plays. Maybe that's true, but I know this,

496
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 1: they were. They weren't very good before Andy Dalton got there,

497
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: and they were really good when he was there. Dailey's

498
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: first five seasons when they were the playoffs every single

499
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: year coming out of the AFC North. That's with Pittsburgh

500
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: and with Baltimore being all the things that they were

501
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: as well. So, and he's a good quarterback. I wish

502
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 1: him well and I hope and I think he's got

503
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: some football left in him. I don't know who it'll

504
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: be with though. Who's left on the Bengals roster. They

505
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: have Ryan Finley, last year's fourth round pick who played

506
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: a little bit last year and Jake Dolagato, the Western

507
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: New Yorker who is also on the roster with the

508
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. We'll talk more about the Bengals as we

509
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: move forward, but on the line of us now Buffalo

510
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: Bill's draft pick. We've got kicker Tyler Bass, sixth rounder

Speaker 1: it is supposed to start officially next Monday. But what's

517
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 1: a rookie program looked like for a kicker? What kind

518
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: of stuff do they do? You think? Oh? Have you do?

00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: one of the things about it, you've got you did

596
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: mention it. Also, You've you're known for a strong leg

597
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: and you've you know, you're kicking on the videos on

598
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: the YouTube, you're kicking fifty yarders with one step. Um

599
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: and uh, you've also one of the I've read some

600
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: of the scouting things that said you weren't very good

601
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: in bad weather, but then it's refuted by some of

602
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: the kicks you made. I mean you made like a

603
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: long kick, uh in the snow and one of your

604
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: last games, one of your Bowl games. Right, tell us

605
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: about what it's like kicking in the conditions and how

606
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: often does it happened to you? I happened a good

607
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: bit this season. One thing I learned is that you

608
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: don't want to play against it. You want to play

609
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,640

611
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: want to try to go after. You want to hit

612
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: a nice smooth ball and just and just play it

613
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:11,880

618
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: itself with the field goal tries. It had to feel

619
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: good to be, you know, coming from a smaller school,

620
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,960

621
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: the in the college ranks and then a good week.

622
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: They had to you had to think like your draft

623
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: chances were improved there. I would think, uh oh, almost definitely.

624
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: I think going in, you know, I feel like I

625
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: still had a lot to prove coming from Georgie Southern. Um,

626
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, I was ready to go

627
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: compete against the best and that's where the Senior Bowl is.

628
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: And I had a great time and Jim Nagy and

629
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,360

630
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,960

631
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: you know, good players around me. I had Braden who

632
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,200

635
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: week and then ended up at the Senior Bowl game.

636
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,160

643
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,800

644
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: were you with and and what did you think when

645
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: you got the call from Buffalo. Oh man, it was

646
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: a dream come true. You know, like I said, when

647
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: when he was he was only Heath was the only

648
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: Quash Teams coach out my pro day. So when he came,

649
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: it was just you know, it was just unbelievable. And

650
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: when I got the call from the Bills, you know,

651
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: it's just for me, it was life changing, and you know,

652
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: it was a dream come true. It's something I've always

653
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: worked for. I was a walk on, so you know,

654
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: getting that call really meant a lot to me, and

655
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: I was with my family and my grandma, who you know,

656
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: my grandma was the one who really got me into kicking.

657
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 1: So you know, there wasn't a whole lot to be said,

658
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: just a lot of joyful cheer, just a lot of

659
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: joyful tears and uh, you know, just just speechless and

660
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable moments. Tyler tell us the story your grandmother.

661
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: I read about it a little bit over the weekend,

662
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: but let me hear it in your words. How important

663
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: your grandmother was back when what you're in high school,

664
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: I guess, and you're becoming a kicker. Huh yeah, she

665
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: you know, she super important to me. Um. The whole

666
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: reason I really started playing football was because of her. Um.

667
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: I have older cousins that played football. They were playing

668
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: line back to her, you know, running back and stuff.

669
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: And then, um, you know, I played soccer and my

670
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: grandma say, hey, Tyler, like, uh, you know, let's give

671
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: it a shot. I know you can kick a ball.

672
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: Let's give it a shot. So we went out in

673
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: my backyard and I kicked one and I kicked it

674
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: into the wood. And she was like, all right, you

675
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: know I've seen enough let's go try out. And I

676
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: was like, all right, cool. You know, we went to

677
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: try out, made all my kicks, made the team my

678
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: ninth grade year, made the B team, and then started

679
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: varsity my sophomore year, and then, you know, I had

680
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: a great career at Dutch Fork and ended up winning

681
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: our first ever state championship my junior year. But yeah,

682
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: so she's been with me through it all. She was

683
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: even at practice. She would come to practice and she

684
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: would bring me food, but we would have to like

685
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: kind of sneak the food in because we didn't want

686
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: to coach the m me eating, but I haven't eaten

687
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: all day. So she would bring me food and I

688
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: would kick and we didn't have like a net or

689
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 1: anything against the field goal post, so I would have

690
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: to kick and the ball would go in the woods,

691
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: and then my grandma would go in the woods. I'm like, oh, man,

692
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: hopefully she comes back. I don't know where she's at

693
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: because I couldn't see her. I couldn't see her. So

694
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: she would go on the wood, and you know, she'd

695
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: come back and she pumped the ball back to me,

696
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: and then that's really it. And then unfortunately, though my

697
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: senior year, she went through breast cancer. So that was

698
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: tough for me, you know, seeing you know, the woman

699
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: that really kind of got me all into this, seeing

700
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: her struggle a little bit, but you know, she showed

701
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: great strength and she got through it. And she never

702
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: missed a game, even when she was battling breast cancer,

703
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: and even through college, she she never missed a game.

704
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if you're playing at New Mexico State,

705
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: don't matter for a playing at U Mass. She was

706
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: gonna be there. So yeah, she's been an unbelievable asset

707
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: to me. And you know, without her, I don't know

708
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,239
Speaker 1: I would be here right now. But so yeah, that's

709
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: what I would say. Asked a little brief story best

710
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: I would say about her. Have you checked with the

711
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: Bills and she welcome to come to practice and bring

712
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: your food here in Orchard Park? You know, Oh, I

713
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: don't know, I haven't had well, I don't know. I

714
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: gotta ask you as well, Tyler, when she you said

715
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: she'd go into the woods to retrieve your footballs, and

716
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: then did you say that she would punt it back

717
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: to you? Yes, she would, And I was worried, you know,

718
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: maybe an ACL would go or you know, fall down

719
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh man, but you know she

720
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 1: actually got better. So I mean, I practice makes surfeit.

721
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: And the more she helped me, and I told her

722
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: she didn't have to help anything, Mama, I could do

723
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: it myself, but she persisted to help me. And the

724
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: more she actually helped me, the better she got it punting.

725
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: So you know, if our team was ever in need

726
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: of a punter, you know we have one right there

727
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: that's great. And Tyler, when you come up here to Buffalo,

728
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: there will be a kicking competition against a veteran Stephen Housecouse.

729
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,760
Speaker 1: It's some pretty good years here and elsewhere in the NFL.

730
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: How do you think that competition might go for you

731
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: and I What kind of mental approach would you take

732
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 1: to that competition? Um, you know, yes, Steve's a he's

733
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: a great kicker. He's had a great career. Um, so

734
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just going up, you know, just focusing

735
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: on how I can better myself and doing whatever I

736
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: can to help the team contribute. Um, I'm just gonna

737
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: take it day by day, not look too far ahead,

738
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,479
Speaker 1: and just focus on what I can do at the moment.

739
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: But I'm looking forward, I know, it's gonna be a

740
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 1: challenge and I'm looking forward to the competition and learning,

741
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: you know. Um and just like I said, just working

742
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 1: each day and trying to you know, not only made

743
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: myself better shape, but make it seem better. What did

744
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: you what do you know about Buffalo before you were

745
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: drafted or what have you found out since? And uh

746
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: are you looking forward to being up here? Well? I

747
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 1: knew I knew before the whole Bills organization. It's like

748
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 1: a family. Uh you know, that's one thing I really

749
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:46,640

751
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: was a Georgia Southern. They got such a great organization

752
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: going up a Buffalo. It's like like I said, it's

00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: the challenge. I'm looking forward to it. What's his name?

763
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: What's your girlfriend's dad name? Tyler? His name was Rick Tutin.

764
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: He was a punter. Sure, he played in the Super

765
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: Bowl with me. I chased his kicks a lot, Tyler.

766
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, Rick Tuton was a really good player. Nineteen ninety.

767
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: He played one year with the Buffalo Bills and uh

768
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: and played extremely well for us. So he was a

769
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: punter in the Super Bowl for that. So, good friend,

770
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: tell you to tell your um girlfriend's father, tell him.

771
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: I said, Hello, we'll do We'll do. Um, what's I

772
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: guess you don't know what the plan is yet, Right,

773
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: you'll get a plan from the Bills, and they'll tell

774
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: you how to practice and to sit tight, probably for

775
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: a while till you can get up here. Right. Yeah,

776
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna start meetings here in about a week and

777
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: a half. But as far as you know, getting up there,

778
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: we haven't. We haven't gotten that far. You know, it's

00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: still kind of going on with this whole um you know,

780
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 1: Corona stuff going on, So we just kind of gotta

781
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: wait it out. And just make sure we're doing it

782
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: safely and it all worked out well. Tyler, we wish

787
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:25,879

00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,480

790
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,959
Speaker 1: and get after it. Yeah, all right, but looking forward

791
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: to it. Tyler Bass kicker Georgia Southern Bills six around

792
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: draft pick, the first of two six around draft picks

793
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills. Rick Tooton when did so, he

794
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: had Tooting as a punter. He was your teammate, and

795
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: then eventually Chris Moore came in, right was that the

796
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: next year Chris Moore was sing that's right there. It

797
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: was John Kidd in nineteen eighty nine, then it was

798
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: Rick Tooting in nineteen ninety and Chris Moore in nineteen

799
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: ninety one regular season. Yeah, that's pretty amazing. That's his

800
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 1: girlfriend's father. Yeah, yeah, and he went after he left

801
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo too, and went to the Pro Bowl with I

802
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: believe it was Seattle. After he left Buffalo. He's still

803
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 1: his career, continued, Yeah, he was a good punter. Yeah,

804
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:17,640

00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: a free agency and the draft, other than Stefan Diggs,

821
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,280
Speaker 1: phone lines open right now, let's go to the tweet

822
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: chief brought to you by Cargan Moving Systems. The official

823
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,720
Speaker 1: movers are the Buffalo Bills from Brian, He says kicker

824
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: Tyler Bess has a great opportunity to be a bill

825
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: for a long time. Hopefully Epenesa lives up to the

826
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:30,439
Speaker 1: expectations as a bookend starter and Moss becomes a household name. Both.

827
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: I expect to make the fifty three, but if bass

828
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: unseats house get it's huge. I agree, it's a tall

829
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: order as much are we Just like talking to Tyler Bess,

830
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: it's got his work cut out for him, Steve, I

831
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 1: think he knows that, right, Yeah, I think he does.

832
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: It's hard. I mean there's only thirty two jobs, you know,

833
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 1: and and he's trying to get one. And he's trying

834
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: to do it from a guy who's got a Super

835
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: Bowl ring and he's made a lot of clutch kicks,

836
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: so he is up against it. But that's, you know,

837
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: that's what these guys sign up for. It'll be interesting

838
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: to see. They'll have a nice competition. Um And I

839
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: think it unlike anything else, it's hard. For kickers. Think

840
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: about this in the preseason. What if the guy okay,

841
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,879
Speaker 1: like how you're gonna get the first in the third

842
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: preseason game and Bass you're gonna get the second and

843
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: fourth preseason game. And in those games, Bass doesn't get

844
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: any opportunities or or vice versa, or how Shood doesn't

845
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: get any opportunities, you know, and and um, and Bass

846
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 1: hits all his kicks. Well, how Sho didn't get a

847
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 1: chance to even you know, answer this challenge. You know,

848
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: so it's really difficult to separate him like that, um,

849
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 1: kickoffs or another aspect of it. How important are those are? You?

850
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: You know? Maybe if if Bass kicks everything out of

851
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 1: the stadium on kickoffs, but you never get to see

852
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: him kick a pressure kick, how do you know? You know,

853
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: it's really difficult to to quantify these guys unless you

854
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 1: get exactly the same kick and exactly the same situation.

855
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: And that's impossible. And that's why many, very often I think,

856
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,240
Speaker 1: the uh, the kicks in press this are just as important,

857
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: don't you agree as the kicks in preseason games. They

858
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:10,879
Speaker 1: chart everything warm up kicks, practice kicks, kicks with against air,

859
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 1: kicks that are defended, kicks with a line in front

860
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: of him, kicks with its just a snapper holder, U

861
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: kicks with kicking it out of the out of the

862
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: mechanical holder. You know, everything they charted, all they watch

863
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,919
Speaker 1: them and plus and then there's for not for nothing, Murph,

864
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: their personality and their demeanor around their teammates and in

865
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: the pressure situations, how they handle themselves in meetings, their

866
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: work ethic, everything goes into the mix and it all

867
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 1: gets quantified. And you know, Heath Farwell has to make

868
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 1: a call on it, and so does McDermott, and so

869
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: does Brandon Bean. So all of that stuff goes into

870
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 1: the conversation and and it's hard to to quantify it

871
00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: and give you know, apples to Apple's opportunities to those guys.

872
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: And they may not have preseason games this year to

873
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: measure it. The other thing, Steve, it strikes me and

874
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:06,959
Speaker 1: I didn't feel a need to mention it or asked

875
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: Tyler Bass about it. But they have to be the

876
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: among the most uh mobile players in the NFL, right

877
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: And you have to know if you're kicking in preseason

878
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 1: or even in practice, that if you don't win a

879
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 1: job here, there's a chance somebody else needs a kicker,

880
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: and they'll they'll give you a call, right, I mean

881
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,280
Speaker 1: they got to be the more. Look, there's no systems

882
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: really to learn, there's very little. There's no place to learn.

883
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: They can move around easier than anybody else in the NFL. Right,

884
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: And you know you're you're not really you don't you

885
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,399
Speaker 1: know if you're if you're equate it with a plant,

886
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,399
Speaker 1: your plant that's grown in a pot and you stick

887
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: the pot in the car and you can drive off.

888
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 1: But if you're planted in the yard, you're not going anywhere.

889
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 1: No kickers planted in the yard. They never sink down roots. Right.

890
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: They are a portable They are a portable piece of

891
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: the puzzle. And it's what they sign up for. It's

892
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: the way the position works. It's it's bad for you know,

893
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: a family and trying to settle down and get a place,

894
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: But it's really good because whenever there's an opportunity, you're

895
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 1: gonna get looked at and given an opportunity to win

896
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: that spot. So by the same token, it's not very

897
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: you know, you don't get to sit down he roots.

898
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: By the same token, you get a chance to grow

899
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,359
Speaker 1: wherever you can, wherever you can find a spot. Here's

900
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: another one from the tweet sheet from Nick. The question

901
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: is other than Stefan Diggs, who has been your favorite

902
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 1: Bills offseason edition? Nick says, I really like Mario Addison.

903
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: Our defensive ends have been decently, but it's been a

904
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 1: while since we had a real sack producer coming off

905
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 1: the edge. I'd love to see another ten plus sax

906
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,359
Speaker 1: season for one of our ends. His presence might open

907
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: opportunities for Hugh was also is Mario Edison gonna get

908
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 1: ten sacks? Steve? That would be good. He's capable. I

909
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,760
Speaker 1: don't know. He's been right there for four straight years

910
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 1: ten nine and a half, nine, nine and a half, ten,

911
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: He's right there every single year. He's been very consistent

912
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 1: the last four years. And yeah, so it's easily gettable

913
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: for him, particularly given the fact that I think he's

914
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: stepping up in class to this defense. He's going to

915
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: get a little more help in this defense than he

916
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: did maybe in Carolina the last couple of years. Yeah,

917
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: I agree. All Right, we got a breakcare and then

Speaker 1: seven and a half million dollars roster bonus, but offset

950
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,040

975
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: healthy and happy. It's been a wild month and a

976
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: half here, hasn't a bit It has and I'm in

977
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: the county in New Jersey hardest hit by coronavirus. I'm

978
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: not in the epicenter of that, but you know, we

979
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: all have to be mindful. I never I never thought

980
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: I'd go to the grocery store, guys and where I'm

981
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:20,879
Speaker 1: ask and that's that's real life. So um, yes, I too.

982
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: Hope everyone's doing well out there. Do you think there's

983
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 1: light at the end of the tunnel. I mean, some

984
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: of the leagues are starting to get their tone. It

985
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: seems like things are starting to loosen up. At least

986
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:33,879
Speaker 1: people are having conversations about what the sports world will

987
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: look like after this is over. Do you think it's uh,

988
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 1: we're on our way down from this. I sure hope so,

989
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: Steve Um, yesterday I probably would have given you a

990
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 1: worse answer. You know, the quarantine can get to you

991
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: after a while. Um, But uh yeah, I mean I

992
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: do think so. And I have to believe that, you know,

993
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 1: the one thing, And I don't look for happy news

994
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: just to find happy news. I'm not. I'm not you

995
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: know someone who who doesn't see reality, But some of

996
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: the doom and gloom after a while just does wear

997
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 1: on you. And I find myself, you know, not consuming

998
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: it after a while. Again, not to be ignorant, and

999
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 1: not because I don't care, certainly, but just because after

1000
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: a while you kind of understand. Yeah, you know, we

1001
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: know a lot of this already and it doesn't seem

1002
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: to be getting better. But you know, the the the

1003
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 1: people in charge, just generally and with our sports league

1004
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,840
Speaker 1: seemed to at some level have some optimism. And I

1005
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 1: am I promise you, I am grasping onto that. With

1006
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 1: everything I got with Kim Jones from the NFL Network,

1007
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 1: we had the NFL Draft that we could go to

1008
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: distract this. Kim, what did you think of the Buffalo

1009
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 1: Bills draft? I guess you liked the pick of aj

1010
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: Andessa on Friday night second round? Uh? Yeah, I mean

1011
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 1: I was a lot of people thought he was a

1012
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 1: first rounder. I did not necessarily leave the combine believing that.

1013
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 1: And I think it's another you know, I haven't I

1014
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: don't know what the Bills exactly we're thinking. I'm certainly

1015
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 1: not speaking for the Bills. You guys can do that,

1016
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:00,040
Speaker 1: you guys can have them on his guests, but it

1017
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: just seemed to me that at that value it was

1018
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: too much to pass up and they were thrilled to

1019
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,320
Speaker 1: get him, and you get a pass rusher he is not.

1020
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna a wow you like to

1021
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:12,800
Speaker 1: me what I thought of when they took up and

1022
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: SA was interesting. Good pick helps the defense in a

1023
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,840
Speaker 1: different way. But I also like, in my view again,

1024
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 1: you know, for whatever that's worth, you know, not an

1025
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver. You know at Oliver will get you with

1026
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:30,840
Speaker 1: those explosive plays. I feel like, and I watched epanesa

1027
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 1: to some degree because I watch a lot of Big

1028
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 1: ten football. I obviously watch a lot of Penn State,

1029
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:37,800
Speaker 1: but Big ten football in general is what I generally

1030
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 1: gravitate to, even though it probably should be the SEC,

1031
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 1: to be honest, but you know, I think more workmanlike

1032
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: and more you know, he's going to always be sturdy.

1033
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,359
Speaker 1: He may not make the flash flash play and any

1034
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: may at some points, but I think he's going to

1035
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 1: be very very solid. I think he's going to fit

1036
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 1: into that locker room very well. And I think, as usual,

1037
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 1: it was a great pick by Brandon Bean. I gotta

1038
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 1: ask you too about this. You know, you talk about

1039
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: the picks and how the draft looked on TV. Is

1040
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: there anything about this draft that you think that will

1041
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: be kept going forward. Like everybody's talking about how person

1042
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 1: how they love the personal touch of the general manager's

1043
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 1: kids and the families, and the intimacy of even the

1044
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,399
Speaker 1: top draft picks families being around him. Do you think

1045
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:25,759
Speaker 1: we'll get more of that and less of some of

1046
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 1: the other glitz that we would have gotten with the

1047
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 1: normal draft show. I sure hope. So, I mean, I

1048
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: I found myself I'm keenly aware that I worked for

1049
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:37,799
Speaker 1: the league's network. Right as you introduced me, I'm an

1050
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:40,800
Speaker 1: NFL Network employee, and before that, I worked for the

1051
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 1: Yes Network, which is the Yankees Network, and I reported

1052
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: as a clubhouse reporter on the Yankees. So I'm firmly

1053
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 1: aware when you take your paycheck from the place on

1054
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,399
Speaker 1: which you report, it can be perceived a certain way.

1055
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: And I think you can still do a credible job

1056
00:50:57,160 --> 00:51:01,720
Speaker 1: reporting without that becoming an issue. So during the draft,

1057
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: and part of it was the times we're in, I

1058
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: was just so looking towards to this draft, as so

1059
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 1: many people were, But I found myself just loving the

1060
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 1: draft so much and tweeting about it, you know, just

1061
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 1: because it was so enjoyable. It was such a great

1062
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 1: watch it was. You know, as diversions go, it was

1063
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: as good as it got right or can get. So

1064
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: I would certainly help the NFL. NFL as family right

1065
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 1: that you know, we hear that embraces and I think

1066
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 1: they will embrace the idea that we really liked that

1067
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: window into the general manager's life. It was a small window,

1068
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:37,760
Speaker 1: but it was a window where you saw him interact

1069
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 1: with his kids. You saw families in real time with

1070
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:47,320
Speaker 1: real reactions on real living room sofas, in real clothes

1071
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: that they wear on a regular basis, you know, react

1072
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:54,839
Speaker 1: to their son, brother, nephew, whatever, the kid, grandson, whatever

1073
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 1: the case was being drafted. Like I think, and I

1074
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,440
Speaker 1: give us as a viewing public credit for this. I

1075
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:04,839
Speaker 1: think we like real right now and that was as

1076
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,280
Speaker 1: real as it gets. And listen, I have to believe,

1077
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: and I do believe in the NFL has said it.

1078
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: Roger said, it has to believe that they found something here.

1079
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 1: So Steve, I have to think it stays at some level.

1080
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know that it's exactly the same

1081
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 1: next year. In fact, we hope that the circumstances are

1082
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 1: vastly better next year in terms of our lives and

1083
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 1: this virus and everything. But I have to believe they

1084
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 1: know they have to keep some of that with Kim Jones,

1085
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 1: NFL Network reporter. Hey, Kim, let me get you your

1086
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 1: thoughts on what's going on the transition. I guess in

1087
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 1: progress of the AFC East, each team now with the

1088
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 1: young quarterback taking over. Josh Allen going into his third

1089
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,240
Speaker 1: year with the Bills, but Tua goes to the Dolphins,

1090
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:47,439
Speaker 1: Sam Darnald getting into his third year with the Jets,

1091
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,400
Speaker 1: Stidham becoming it would appear as starter with the Patriots.

1092
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 1: It's going to be a little bit different than next

1093
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 1: few years into AFC East, isn't it. Yeah, And listen,

1094
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 1: if TWA doesn't win the job right away, and you know,

1095
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 1: we could go down a checklist where he very well

1096
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: may not, including in first and foremost his health, you know,

1097
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 1: and Ryan Fitzpatrick starts. You know, you're talking about the

1098
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 1: Patriots having the least experienced quarterback in the division, which

1099
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 1: you know we haven't said for years and years, you know,

1100
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: for obvious reasons. So yeah, I think it's different. I

1101
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 1: think what Bill does what will be interesting to see.

1102
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: Some of their draft picks were interesting, I mean every

1103
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 1: team's draft picks, to me, were interesting, but some of

1104
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:33,399
Speaker 1: his were particularly interesting. I thought it was interesting after

1105
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,320
Speaker 1: the draft he ended up telling the media, I assume

1106
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: on a conference caller zoom that you know they didn't

1107
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 1: pick a quarterback and that wasn't necessarily by design, you know,

1108
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: which read into that how you want. So. I do

1109
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 1: think that if you are the Bills, if you are

1110
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 1: the Jets, and even if you are a Dolphins team

1111
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 1: that I think played better for Brian Flores last year

1112
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:00,800
Speaker 1: than a lot of us thought they might. Overall, I

1113
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 1: think you have to see a window here, and particularly

1114
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 1: with Sam Darnold and Josh Allen as quarterback, these are

1115
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 1: vital years for both of them. I would include Baker

1116
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 1: Mayfield in that, but he's not in a division, and

1117
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,359
Speaker 1: I think you need to see steps forward from both

1118
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: of them, and both of them have shown a lot

1119
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 1: of promise in different ways. We know that they're BFFs,

1120
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 1: they trained together and everything else. But I think for

1121
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:26,800
Speaker 1: Josh and Sam, these are enormous seasons coming up, in

1122
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:30,879
Speaker 1: part because New England is weaker, presumably, and in part

1123
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 1: because it's their third year and you're looking for significant

1124
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 1: progress and one of the things. I know we were

1125
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 1: all trying to still digest this because things are still happening,

1126
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 1: even though we're all kind of in isolation. Well, Andy

1127
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 1: Dalton was released by the Cincinnati Bengals this morning, and automatically,

1128
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:49,319
Speaker 1: you know, Twitter goes wild thinking Bill Belichick is going

1129
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:51,839
Speaker 1: to win a Super Bowl with Andy Dalton. I mean, well,

1130
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts? And I don't want to laugh.

1131
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 1: I mean I don't want to laugh now and then

1132
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 1: be crying later when it actually happens. But what you

1133
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 1: know is, do you think there's a place for Andy

1134
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 1: Dalton in the league? It is it New England or

1135
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 1: is it another team. I think there's a place for

1136
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton in the league. Steve, I don't necessarily think

1137
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 1: it's New England. I don't think New England first of all.

1138
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: And I know that you can manipulate the cap and

1139
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 1: you can find a way with the cap, and you

1140
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 1: can certainly make moves under the cap. But I'm not

1141
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 1: sure New England right now, you know, has a spot

1142
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 1: for any of these that are in quarterbacks, including Andy Dalton.

1143
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 1: I guess the Dalton thing didn't surprise me. It's been

1144
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:32,280
Speaker 1: talked about so much, but you know, could we start

1145
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 1: the NFL season with Andy Dalton and Cam Newton without jobs?

1146
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,880
Speaker 1: With Jamis Winston taking you know, a contract that it

1147
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 1: illustrates very much. And I actually give Winston credit for this.

1148
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,359
Speaker 1: He clearly wants to be in the league and wants

1149
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: to put him in himself in a place to be

1150
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: taught and to learn, because you know, he didn't take

1151
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 1: that New Orleans contract to start in front of Drew Brees.

1152
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:56,919
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just not happening. So I did find

1153
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 1: that interesting in terms of Winston, So um, I think

1154
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: there are spots for them in the league, Steve, but

1155
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's harder for the veteran quarterback and

1156
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: now maybe harder than ever. So yeah, I you don't

1157
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:12,439
Speaker 1: listen to the timing is not ideal, but I don't

1158
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 1: know what else the Bengals really could have done in

1159
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: this situation. We're with Kim Jones from the NFL Network. Kim,

1160
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: what do you think of the Jets draft? And to

1161
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 1: get back in the tackle from Louisville and eleven overall,

1162
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 1: he was regarded as one of the better offensive lineman

1163
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 1: in the draft. It looks like they're trying to build

1164
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 1: around Donald and provide him support, would you say, yeah.

1165
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 1: I mean Joe Douglas on a conference called a couple

1166
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 1: of weeks before the draft, or maybe a week before

1167
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 1: the draft, said, you know, protection and playmakers for Sam,

1168
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:43,840
Speaker 1: and they addressed both. You could argue they could have

1169
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:46,839
Speaker 1: done more to address playmakers for Sam. But they really

1170
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 1: like Mims out of bailor they really like p Ryan.

1171
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:51,919
Speaker 1: I believe it's how you say it out of the back,

1172
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 1: out of Florida. So we'll see what they can do. Certainly,

1173
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,840
Speaker 1: Mims will be expected to be an instant starter and

1174
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:00,800
Speaker 1: playmaker in this offense. I mean, the way they're built,

1175
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 1: he has to be almost so that's going to be interesting. Yeah,

1176
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:10,239
Speaker 1: this is about for Sam. I think around here at

1177
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:13,800
Speaker 1: least guys, people kind of forgot about the mono. I

1178
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 1: think the fact that he missed quote unquote only three

1179
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:19,720
Speaker 1: games with Mono, I think made people just kind of

1180
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 1: shrug it off. I actually am one of the people

1181
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 1: who gives him much more of an excuse because of

1182
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 1: the mono. Doesn't say everything's okay, you can play poorly

1183
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter. But I do think it affected him,

1184
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 1: probably much longer than that three game absence would suggest

1185
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: so for Sam it's a big year. It really is.

1186
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 1: They put a lot into getting him. This coach and

1187
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 1: this GM did not draft him. Now there is every

1188
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 1: indication that both Joe Douglas and Adam Gates love Sam Darnold,

1189
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 1: so it's not like he's on shaky ground to start with.

1190
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 1: But I do think this is a very big year

1191
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 1: for him. I really really do. And for all of

1192
00:57:56,560 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 1: these third year quarterbacks in slightly different or different ways,

1193
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 1: you can make that case, and I would certainly make

1194
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 1: the case for Darnold, step forward is necessary and more consistently,

1195
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 1: good play is necessary. We've seen the flashes. They beat

1196
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 1: up on a Dallas Cowboys team last year in a

1197
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 1: game that you look back on now and you say

1198
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 1: to yourself, boy, how they put that together. But then

1199
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 1: against the Patriots they look like they've never played football

1200
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 1: before on the offensive side of the ball. Now, Bill's

1201
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 1: done that to other teams. We understand that, but my goodness,

1202
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 1: I mean it was it was disgraceful. So somewhere, even

1203
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 1: if there's a little bit of a middle ground, a

1204
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 1: little bit of a middle ground certainly trending toward the

1205
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 1: Dallas performance as opposed to the Patriots performance would be

1206
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:42,880
Speaker 1: what you're looking for. I think the Jets can live

1207
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:44,919
Speaker 1: with that. But that's what they need. They need Sam

1208
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 1: to be a better core and he knows it. Sam

1209
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 1: Darnold knows all of this a lot like Josh. He

1210
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 1: takes responsibility, he doesn't run from it. I got to

1211
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:55,240
Speaker 1: ask you this too, and you're right. It's a long

1212
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 1: list of people that Bill Belichick has made look a

1213
00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 1: little bit bad. We've witnessed it a lot here in

1214
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 1: the AFC East. I gotta ask you this, Uh, speaking

1215
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 1: of coaches make being made to look bad? How short

1216
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 1: leashes Adam Gayson. Is the pressure on him as great

1217
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: as it is on Sam Darnold, if not greater? Yeah? Probably?

1218
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:18,600
Speaker 1: Well for Sam it's because of the third year, you know,

1219
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 1: and what that ends up meaning, you know, ultimately next

1220
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 1: year we'll be talking about the fifth year option and

1221
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Certainly you would expect they'd pick

1222
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 1: it up, you know, and all of that stuff. But

1223
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 1: I think with um, with Sam, Steve tell me the

1224
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 1: crux of the question. Again, I'm sorry, I I if Adam,

1225
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:40,920
Speaker 1: you know, I get that pressure of the quarterback. What

1226
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 1: about Adam Gase? Ye? Is he Anderson pressure. Yeah, he is,

1227
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:48,479
Speaker 1: and and the fan base is very much split on Gaye.

1228
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 1: Ownership is not split on Gaze. They support him. I

1229
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 1: happen to be at the Jets last November one day, um,

1230
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 1: because by then I wasn't going to the Jets very often,

1231
00:59:56,920 --> 01:00:00,440
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, and you know, Christopher Johnson,

1232
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 1: the owner, you know, kind of called us all together.

1233
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 1: It was sort of an imprompt to press or if

1234
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 1: you will, no cameras. It was just sort of in

1235
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: a in an office off to the side because they

1236
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 1: were practicing inside that day, and he told us Adam

1237
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 1: Gas would be back, that he had told the team

1238
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:17,720
Speaker 1: a week ago that Adam Gates would be back. And

1239
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:20,160
Speaker 1: that is really when the Jets went on that run

1240
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 1: where they finished the season six and two. Their problem

1241
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 1: was in starting the season I think it was one

1242
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 1: and seven. So they finished strong enough. They obviously started

1243
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 1: not nearly not nearly good enough. So yeah, there's a

1244
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on Gates. I think there's pressure on

1245
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 1: him to be able to win when things aren't perfect.

1246
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 1: He had a lot of not perfect last year because

1247
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 1: of Sam, because of c. J. Mosley missing the year,

1248
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 1: basically not finding a role really that was successful for

1249
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 1: lady On Bell, which in many ways is his most

1250
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 1: damning you know, is the most damning criticism you can

1251
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,040
Speaker 1: give of gays because as far as we know, Bell

1252
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 1: was basically healthy all season and they just couldn't make

1253
01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:03,640
Speaker 1: it work with lady On Bell. So yeah, there's a

1254
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on Adam Gay. Would would Christopher Johnson

1255
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 1: have a you know, impatient impulse? I would doubt that.

1256
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:14,960
Speaker 1: I think he likes Gays and very much wants him

1257
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 1: to succeed. But yeah, I mean, I think this season

1258
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:19,760
Speaker 1: has to be a lot better. Sure I can. I

1259
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 1: have one more Jets question for you, and that's about

1260
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams, who I think is, if not their best

1261
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 1: defensive players, certainly one of their best defensive players and

1262
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 1: only going into his fourth year. Why why is there

1263
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:33,080
Speaker 1: so much controversy about him and his role on the

1264
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:36,080
Speaker 1: team and whether he will return next year? Well partly

1265
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:40,000
Speaker 1: because he's Jamal, Like he's got Odell in New York.

1266
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 1: But he's the closest thing we got, now, you know,

1267
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 1: he and they and I know them both well, and

1268
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 1: you know, and I think they would both agree with this.

1269
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, and I'm certainly not speaking

1270
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 1: for them. There are similarities there. Both are just I

1271
01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 1: was gonna say dying to win. I don't love that expression,

1272
01:01:58,400 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 1: by the way, but I can't think of another one, right,

1273
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 1: I mean, they both want to win so much, and

1274
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:07,479
Speaker 1: they're they're they're like, they're like minded in that way,

1275
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 1: and they sometimes are pretty demonstrative when they're not winning.

1276
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 1: Let's let's say that because I think that's fair with Jamal. Listen,

1277
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:19,920
Speaker 1: he wants to be paid. I think he thinks he

1278
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 1: deserves to be paid. A lot of athletes believe that,

1279
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 1: and in this case, I think Jamal's right. I think

1280
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 1: I think I'm using the word think. I think they're

1281
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 1: going to pay him. I think Joe Douglas understands what

1282
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 1: Jamal represents, which is basically the heartbeat of the team,

1283
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 1: the best player on the team, and the motivational leader

1284
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 1: on the team. And that's a lot to get that

1285
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 1: from one player solely, that's a lot. Now, can c J.

1286
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:49,240
Speaker 1: Mosley come in an exert leadership in a different way.

1287
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,920
Speaker 1: He's a different personality, Yes, And c J. Mosley went

1288
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 1: healthy for the Ravens was an outstanding player. The Jets

1289
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 1: have to see that because he got hurt obviously against

1290
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 1: the Bills last year and the opener. So you know,

1291
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:04,520
Speaker 1: if I'm Jamal Adams, I think I deserve a long

1292
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:07,080
Speaker 1: term contract that has a lot of numbers in it too,

1293
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:09,400
Speaker 1: And I think he deserves it, and I think I

1294
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 1: think he'll get it. Kim, I got to ask you

1295
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 1: something about the New York Giants. I know you're down there.

1296
01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 1: You cover those guys as well. That looks like Dave

1297
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:22,640
Speaker 1: Getleman started building his team from the inside out this draft.

1298
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:25,160
Speaker 1: He got three offensive lineman his first five picks, and

1299
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:27,760
Speaker 1: he got a couple of really good tackles that maybe

1300
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:32,400
Speaker 1: New York Giants for a decade apiece heat. Getleman takes

1301
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 1: a lot of heat. Is a lot of people in

1302
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:36,120
Speaker 1: New York and working for the Giants do when they're

1303
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:38,760
Speaker 1: big decision makers. But Getleman seems to kind of be

1304
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:41,600
Speaker 1: on the right track here. Am I wrong? No? I

1305
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:43,840
Speaker 1: don't think you're listen. It's his third try at fixing

1306
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:46,160
Speaker 1: the offensive line, Steve So, I don't know how many

1307
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:49,640
Speaker 1: gms get three tries. So he's got three tries, and

1308
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:51,720
Speaker 1: you're right, I think he got it right. I think

1309
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 1: at some point the Giants fan is going to demand

1310
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 1: that they not beat picking in the top ten, but

1311
01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:00,440
Speaker 1: that's where they've been mostly, you know, these last se years.

1312
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:05,000
Speaker 1: So for Geedelman, I you know, listen, I think these tackles,

1313
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 1: it's it's, you know, throw kind of the four names

1314
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:12,280
Speaker 1: in the air, and you're going to have different gms

1315
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 1: and talent evaluators, you know, reaching for different tickets. Right.

1316
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: I mean, there was not really a consensus who was

1317
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 1: the best or who was quote unquote the worst. I mean,

1318
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 1: I think they are all highly regarded. I think Dave

1319
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 1: had to get one. He did. He got um Matt

1320
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 1: Partt out of Yukon former basketball player in the third round.

1321
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,920
Speaker 1: I think it was he's going to need some development,

1322
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,920
Speaker 1: it seems, but could be a very good player. He

1323
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 1: took Shane Lemieux guard who started fifty two games, which

1324
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 1: is ridiculous to me at Oregon at left guard. Now

1325
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,800
Speaker 1: they don't need a left guard. But presumably he'll start

1326
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 1: at center as a rookie if he starts, or he

1327
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 1: sits and becomes a starter. So yeah, I mean, I

1328
01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 1: think Edelman did probably as well as he could in

1329
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:02,000
Speaker 1: addressing up problem that has lingered for years and years

1330
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:03,680
Speaker 1: with the New York Giants. I think that's probably the

1331
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 1: best way to put it. But he contributed to that

1332
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:10,560
Speaker 1: problem with poor decisions about the line in his first

1333
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 1: two drafts and free agency periods. I think that's also important.

1334
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 1: Kim Jones or Metafilm network is on the line with us.

1335
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 1: Kim any early impressions after a couple of months of

1336
01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 1: watching Joe Judges, head coach of the Giants, were kind

1337
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 1: of a guy. You think he'll be pretty no nonsense.

1338
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:29,920
Speaker 1: I've enjoyed the interactions we've had. I mean, an introductory

1339
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 1: press conference, as you guys know, has a different tone

1340
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:34,360
Speaker 1: to it. But and he did a really good job

1341
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:36,040
Speaker 1: that day. But that's an interest, you know, that's a

1342
01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 1: one time thing with a lot of you know, families

1343
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:40,520
Speaker 1: are there, a lot of the people are there that

1344
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:42,840
Speaker 1: aren't usually there, that kind of thing. But the times

1345
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:45,960
Speaker 1: that we've talked to him, like the combine conference calls,

1346
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 1: comes across as serious, comes across as definitely having been

1347
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 1: touched by the Patriot's way. He wants his players not

1348
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:58,600
Speaker 1: to mention super Bowl and not to make comparisons. Now

1349
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:02,480
Speaker 1: New England's no stranger to super bowls. We know that,

1350
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:05,160
Speaker 1: but they don't talk about it a whole lot. They

1351
01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 1: talk more about the game in front of them, the

1352
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 1: mission or the job, I should say, the job in

1353
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 1: front of them. They don't talk big picture like that

1354
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 1: much in New England in my experience there, and they

1355
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 1: really don't compare. You'll hear New England players say well,

1356
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 1: I'm not going to compare that player to that player,

1357
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:25,200
Speaker 1: you know, if that's what the media ask, you know, well,

1358
01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:27,640
Speaker 1: I'm not going to make that comparison. But then he

1359
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 1: might talk about like the job he does, like a

1360
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:32,120
Speaker 1: Devin mccordy might turn it into you know, I know,

1361
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:33,920
Speaker 1: I have to do a better job, you know, that

1362
01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:36,440
Speaker 1: kind of a thing. So I think that's the tone

1363
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:39,160
Speaker 1: he wants. But you know, we'll see how it goes.

1364
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:43,360
Speaker 1: It's a young team, it's a team that doesn't know

1365
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 1: what it's like to be a pro in some cases,

1366
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:48,280
Speaker 1: and they're going to have to learn in a virtual offseason.

1367
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 1: So that's going to be interesting. I got to ask

1368
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:53,560
Speaker 1: you about something you were there in New York. You

1369
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:56,040
Speaker 1: watched the Giants with Eli Manning for years and years

1370
01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 1: and then they draft Daniel Jones and he just knew

1371
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:02,120
Speaker 1: something was in the air, and certainly it spelled the end,

1372
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:04,520
Speaker 1: the beginning of the end for Eli Manning now in

1373
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 1: Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers has been in Green Bay, He's

1374
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:12,600
Speaker 1: won a World championship, and the Backers reminiscent of Aaron

1375
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:16,760
Speaker 1: Rodgers and Brett Farve, they draft Jordan Love. Yeah, what

1376
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:19,640
Speaker 1: was your experience? Is there any generalities you can draw

1377
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:25,560
Speaker 1: between all of those scenarios. Yeah, well, you know, Eli

1378
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 1: was drafted so much earlier. You know, Daniel Jones drafted

1379
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:33,840
Speaker 1: earlier that the Packers were obviously later in the rounds

1380
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:37,040
Speaker 1: for obvious reasons. So there's a little bit of a

1381
01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:40,200
Speaker 1: difference there. I guess it's most similar frankly to Rogers

1382
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:43,960
Speaker 1: and Farves, though, and I would love to know, and

1383
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:46,400
Speaker 1: I truly don't and I admit that I would love

1384
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 1: to know what's really going on with Lafleur, Rogers, the

1385
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:55,280
Speaker 1: whole building, the way the building perceives its quarterback. I

1386
01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:59,720
Speaker 1: do have a lot of curiosity about that. That firsthand

1387
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:02,680
Speaker 1: up probably never quench right because I'm just not in

1388
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 1: Green Bay, nor do I know expect to be so that.

1389
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 1: But I will say this about Jordan Love, and I'm

1390
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:12,040
Speaker 1: kind of taking a shot but it certainly is not intentional.

1391
01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 1: I don't know who started to put out there that

1392
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:16,680
Speaker 1: Jordan Love wasn't going to be a first rounder. And

1393
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:18,519
Speaker 1: when I say that, like, I truly have no idea

1394
01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:22,040
Speaker 1: which media outlets were doing that that would have what

1395
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:24,400
Speaker 1: would have shocked me about Love? And he went late

1396
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 1: in the first round, so they weren't far off. But

1397
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:30,040
Speaker 1: is if after that combine he did not go in

1398
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:36,919
Speaker 1: the first round, he in many ways looks and throws

1399
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 1: like an absolute franchise quarterback. There are some things there

1400
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:42,680
Speaker 1: to work out. My guess is last year, when he

1401
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:45,320
Speaker 1: had nine new starters around him, a new head coach

1402
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:48,120
Speaker 1: and a new scheme, my guess is he got into

1403
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 1: some bad habits on the field and they'll have to

1404
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:53,560
Speaker 1: coach those out of him. But in terms of a

1405
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:57,760
Speaker 1: guy who can handle the elements in green Bay and

1406
01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 1: all that the expectations that Green I always have, he

1407
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:05,360
Speaker 1: has the arm to do it because he has incredible

1408
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:08,800
Speaker 1: arm talent at the combine, a talent evaluator I very

1409
01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 1: much trust and who is trusted in this league told

1410
01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:16,240
Speaker 1: me he's a poor man. Poor man's my homes if

1411
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:18,640
Speaker 1: you are anything where you get my homes in the

1412
01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:21,720
Speaker 1: sentence that's subscribing you. You're doing pretty darn good. And

1413
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:23,439
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be very very good. I

1414
01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:25,040
Speaker 1: think he needs to be coached up, but I think

1415
01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:27,639
Speaker 1: he's going to be very very good. Kim. The last

1416
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:29,880
Speaker 1: thing I have for you, I enjoyed you had a tweet.

1417
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:32,000
Speaker 1: I think it was Tuesday this week, maybe Monday, where

1418
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:34,960
Speaker 1: you said you miss the NFL Draft already. I know

1419
01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:37,519
Speaker 1: you like your job, but the draft what special this year,

1420
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,479
Speaker 1: wasn't it? And it was what's next? Do you think

1421
01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:42,639
Speaker 1: for the NFL? Yeah, I mean I just think of seeing,

1422
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 1: you know, the coaches and gms with their kids. I

1423
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:51,240
Speaker 1: don't know how many times we saw Brian Flores and

1424
01:09:51,360 --> 01:09:53,800
Speaker 1: his children. It wasn't enough, but it was a lot.

1425
01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:56,479
Speaker 1: But I mean, I loved it. I have to tell

1426
01:09:56,520 --> 01:09:59,719
Speaker 1: you your audience may not love this. I absolutely love

1427
01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:04,400
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick's dog in his seat when they went. I

1428
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:07,040
Speaker 1: thought that that was a nice sense of the moment

1429
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 1: from the Belichick household that I didn't necessarily expect. I

1430
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:11,719
Speaker 1: thought it was cute. I thought it was very funny.

1431
01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:15,080
Speaker 1: And the dog's very obedient, which I guess shouldn't surprise us, right,

1432
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:20,160
Speaker 1: But that dog is coached up because it was not moving. Nike.

1433
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:22,720
Speaker 1: His name's Nike. Nike was not moving from that chair.

1434
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:25,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, I loved it. I really did. I liked,

1435
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:28,200
Speaker 1: Like I said earlier, I like the idea that these

1436
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:30,640
Speaker 1: guys are with the people who I presume matter to

1437
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:33,880
Speaker 1: them the most, you know. And Mom and Dad weren't

1438
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:37,080
Speaker 1: necessarily in you know, brand new clothes that they bought

1439
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:39,439
Speaker 1: for the draft. Mom and Dad were in you know,

1440
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:42,560
Speaker 1: the college sweatshirt they might wear every other you know,

1441
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:46,479
Speaker 1: Thursday this month or something, you know, And I love

1442
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 1: that stuff. I like real. I will take real over

1443
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:51,880
Speaker 1: produced any day. Now. That's not a shot at the

1444
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:54,120
Speaker 1: draft the way it's usually done. It truly isn't. But

1445
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 1: just in general, I like real and I thought this

1446
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:59,559
Speaker 1: NFL Draft had so much realness to it. I don't

1447
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:01,160
Speaker 1: know how you didn't like it, because even if you're

1448
01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:04,080
Speaker 1: not a football fan, some of those images had nothing

1449
01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:06,360
Speaker 1: to do with football. They had to do with family

1450
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:08,760
Speaker 1: and the moment that we're all in, you know, in

1451
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:11,160
Speaker 1: this quarantine. So I thought it was great. And I

1452
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 1: do think, as we talked earlier, I have to believe

1453
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:16,080
Speaker 1: it there's at least some carryover, you know, from this

1454
01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:18,160
Speaker 1: draft to next year's because I think the NFL is

1455
01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:20,120
Speaker 1: smart enough, and I know they're smart enough to know

1456
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:23,680
Speaker 1: that that was really, really popular. I agree with Jim,

1457
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:25,640
Speaker 1: and I hope it happens soon. I hope we get

1458
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:30,040
Speaker 1: her teams you. Thanks Jim, Thank you guys so much.

1459
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:32,560
Speaker 1: I hope I see you soon. Finger trust as I

1460
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:37,400
Speaker 1: say that, Okay, Thanks Jim Jones, NFL Network reporter. You

1461
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 1: can see her on NFL Total Access on NFL Game

1462
01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:41,800
Speaker 1: Day Morning. You can hear her once in a while

1463
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:44,880
Speaker 1: on w FAN radio host on the all Sports station

1464
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:47,479
Speaker 1: in New York City. She's right there raft Foot Specials

1465
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:50,600
Speaker 1: team and now, and I think she's she sort of

1466
01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:52,720
Speaker 1: indicated this, and I feel the same way. Now we're

1467
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:54,920
Speaker 1: all waiting for what's next from the NFL. You know, what,

1468
01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:56,720
Speaker 1: what can they do next to make us feel good

1469
01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:00,880
Speaker 1: in these tough times? I agree, and she right. You know,

1470
01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:04,080
Speaker 1: Brian Flores was great. I thought. The one thing that

1471
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:06,160
Speaker 1: struck a chord with me, and I know you've got

1472
01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:08,920
Speaker 1: older sons as well, was Mike. I've mentioned a bunch

1473
01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 1: of times Mike Rabel's two sons who were dressed up.

1474
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:15,320
Speaker 1: One had a they cut his hair like when this

1475
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:20,320
Speaker 1: and this unbelievably ugly mullet on purpose. And then his

1476
01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:22,680
Speaker 1: other his other son. They're both high school kids. I

1477
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:26,040
Speaker 1: mean they're both grown men. And hey, the other one

1478
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:29,240
Speaker 1: was in a superhero outfits just standing behind your dad

1479
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 1: at attention. Uh, it's just it was so funny to me.

1480
01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:36,879
Speaker 1: And Bill Belichick's dog was she's right, and Brian flores

1481
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:41,160
Speaker 1: his kids. Uh, even Mike mayock out out in LA

1482
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:43,439
Speaker 1: I got a kick out of his household, you know,

1483
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:45,920
Speaker 1: just yelling back and forth between his room in the kitchen,

1484
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:48,439
Speaker 1: and I thought it was really a human side of

1485
01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:50,640
Speaker 1: the league. We need to see more of. Yeah. I

1486
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:52,439
Speaker 1: don't know what they'll do for an encore. I hope,

1487
01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 1: I hope they do something soon. It's the same thing, man,

1488
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:58,559
Speaker 1: Just do that again next year. Yeah, before that though,

1489
01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:00,519
Speaker 1: we need something. We need something from the NFL before that.

1490
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:02,640
Speaker 1: I can't wait next year. All Right, We're gonna take

1491

Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty, or you

1514
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:13,360
Speaker 1: can send in a tweet for the tweet sheet. Let's

1515
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:15,839
Speaker 1: go to the tweet geet rot here by Cargan Movie Systems.

1516
01:14:15,840 --> 01:14:17,560
Speaker 1: The official movies are the Buffalo Bills. You got some

1517
01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:19,599
Speaker 1: tweets are in front of easte. I due from Nick.

1518
01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:22,639
Speaker 1: He says I really liked Mario Addison. Our defensive ends

1519
01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:24,639
Speaker 1: have been decent lately, but it's been a while since

1520
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:27,439
Speaker 1: we've had a real sack producer coming off the edge.

1521
01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:29,439
Speaker 1: I'd love to see another ten plus SAX season for

1522
01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:32,720
Speaker 1: one of our ends. His present might open opportunities for

1523
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:37,160
Speaker 1: Hughes too, meaning Jerry Hughes. And it's true I like

1524
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:40,960
Speaker 1: Mario Addison too. He's got some consistent production. We'll see

1525
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 1: a that's a good That's a good answer from Nick.

1526
01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:47,400
Speaker 1: I think there's one from Jack. I really like what

1527
01:14:47,479 --> 01:14:49,679
Speaker 1: I've read and heard about six round pig wide receiver

1528
01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:52,320
Speaker 1: Isaiah Hodgins, who see on the show with us tomorrow.

1529
01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:55,719
Speaker 1: I think he is Yes, he is sorrow Isaiah Hodgens.

1530
01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:58,240
Speaker 1: I like his size, his hands, his ball skills, and

1531
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:01,759
Speaker 1: his pedigree. But my favorite move might be extending Poyer

1532
01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:04,439
Speaker 1: and the fifth year option for Trey White, keeping an

1533
01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:07,479
Speaker 1: excellent secondary in tact for at least two more years

1534
01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:10,040
Speaker 1: with Micah Hyde. Really good point. We didn't talk about that.

1535
01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:12,840
Speaker 1: They extended Jordan Poyer and they picked up the fifth

1536
01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:16,240
Speaker 1: year option on the Trinevious White just the other day,

1537
01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:17,960
Speaker 1: so I like that. Those are two good moves. Yeah.

1538
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 1: The more we talk about the defense, Murph, and as

1539
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:22,600
Speaker 1: good as it was last year's top two, maybe a

1540
01:15:22,680 --> 01:15:26,680
Speaker 1: top two or top three in every defensive category, they

1541
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:30,439
Speaker 1: may be better this year. I mean, they really might

1542
01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:34,240
Speaker 1: be better this year, which is saying a lot as

1543
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:36,760
Speaker 1: good as they were last year. But man oh man,

1544
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:39,200
Speaker 1: I love the way the defense looks, and with all

1545
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:41,920
Speaker 1: the guys coming back, and also with the additions, I

1546
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:45,479
Speaker 1: just and with Poyer and Hide staying back there. I

1547
01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:50,000
Speaker 1: just I really like what they're doing. And I don't know,

1548
01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:52,679
Speaker 1: maybe it won't work that way, and maybe it's every

1549
01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:54,559
Speaker 1: year is a different year, and the schedule is going

1550
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:55,960
Speaker 1: to have a lot to say with the quality of

1551
01:15:56,040 --> 01:15:58,160
Speaker 1: offenses the Bills will face, but man oh man, I

1552
01:15:58,240 --> 01:16:00,400
Speaker 1: just love what the defense looks like. I was just

1553
01:16:00,439 --> 01:16:03,439
Speaker 1: gonna mention that the schedule is totally different and they'll

1554
01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:05,960
Speaker 1: go up against you would think, I mean, at this

1555
01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:08,320
Speaker 1: early stage, it's hard to say, but I'll go up

1556
01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:10,479
Speaker 1: against much better quarterbacks than they did a year ago. Steve,

1557
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:13,320
Speaker 1: if you look back at the twenty nineteen season, I'm

1558
01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:15,160
Speaker 1: trying to I want to give you the roster of

1559
01:16:15,280 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 1: quarterbacks the bill's face. I mean, there were a lot

1560
01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:20,479
Speaker 1: of lesser lights in that in Uh. You know, they

1561
01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:23,120
Speaker 1: played a lot of backups, they paid some rookies. They

1562
01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 1: didn't face the best quarterbacks the league as to offer.

1563
01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 1: Would you agree last year? Yeah? I would? Um, And

1564
01:16:30,360 --> 01:16:33,439
Speaker 1: they're gonna face some this year, some good ones this year.

1565
01:16:33,720 --> 01:16:37,559
Speaker 1: They have homes. You got um Russell Wilson, You've got

1566
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:44,640
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolou, and then you got Kyler Murray in Arizona.

1567
01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:47,960
Speaker 1: If you consider him one of those guys, you know,

1568
01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:53,479
Speaker 1: a good quarterback, Then who's it gonna be? You know,

1569
01:16:53,960 --> 01:16:58,320
Speaker 1: they do face they face Pittsburgh and Roethlisberger. Um, that

1570
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:06,280
Speaker 1: got Um. They don't face Baltimore again this year, do they? No? Yeah?

1571
01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:11,000
Speaker 1: So they they're they've got some tough quarterbacks on their schedule. Question.

1572
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:14,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they got the la the uh, the rams

1573
01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:21,320
Speaker 1: um with Goff. Yeah, but I don't know those are

1574
01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:23,599
Speaker 1: those are the good ones. Now, then you've got Jared

1575
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:28,280
Speaker 1: Stidham twice. You've got Sam Darnold twice, You've got Ryan

1576
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:33,960
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick twice or two a Tiger Vloa twice. Um, Yeah,

1577
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:36,519
Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll see. I'm not if you get

1578
01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:41,719
Speaker 1: down to Goff and Kyler Murray and the guy in Denver,

1579
01:17:41,920 --> 01:17:45,559
Speaker 1: what's his name, Drew Long and those guys, the Bills

1580
01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:47,880
Speaker 1: should have a handle on, you know what I'm saying. Ye,

1581
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:51,559
Speaker 1: particularly even the guys in their division, Sam Darnold them,

1582
01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:55,840
Speaker 1: they've seen Sam a lot um, you know. I Yeah,

1583
01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:57,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a tough year when you get into

1584
01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:01,200
Speaker 1: those good quarterbacks, but there's not that many of them,

1585
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:06,240
Speaker 1: and particularly given the change in landscape in the AFC East. Yeah,

1586
01:18:06,479 --> 01:18:08,600
Speaker 1: I do think that they're up against better quarterbacks. They

1587
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:11,120
Speaker 1: won't face him any rookies as they face a quarterback.

1588
01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:15,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll see. Drew Andy Dalton is available

1589
01:18:15,439 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 1: obviously free agent now release. He's thirty two years old,

1590
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:20,200
Speaker 1: should have a couple of years left and there's an

1591
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:22,960
Speaker 1: interesting story up on NFL dot com. But where he

1592
01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 1: might go and you know where. They make a pretty

1593
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:28,960
Speaker 1: good argument. Who wrote this, Judy Batista, pretty good argument

1594
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:31,519
Speaker 1: for the Jacksonville Jaguars as a home for Andy Dalton.

1595
01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:34,960
Speaker 1: Jake Bruden, who was his former offensive coordinator with the Bengals,

1596
01:18:35,080 --> 01:18:38,599
Speaker 1: is now offensive coordinator in Jacksonville. They had success, went

1597
01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:40,599
Speaker 1: to the playoffs in the three years that they were together.

1598
01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:45,519
Speaker 1: Dalton threw thirty three touchdown passes against twenty interceptions in

1599
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:48,759
Speaker 1: their final year there. The Jaguars don't have Nick Foles anymore.

1600
01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:52,439
Speaker 1: They have Gardner Minshew. But I think Dalton at the

1601
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:54,800
Speaker 1: very least will be a strong backup in Jacksonville, maybe

1602
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:57,439
Speaker 1: even a starter. He might. Who knows what'll happen in

1603
01:18:57,479 --> 01:18:59,799
Speaker 1: New England. Who knows what will happen if the Patriots

1604
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,719
Speaker 1: were interested. But I would if I were the Jacksonville Jaguars,

1605
01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:04,760
Speaker 1: I would kick the tires at least on Andy Dalton,

1606
01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:08,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't you, Yes, I would. I think that's a great call,

1607
01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:10,599
Speaker 1: And I don't I think there's no question that other

1608
01:19:10,640 --> 01:19:12,479
Speaker 1: teams will do the same. I don't, you know, it's

1609
01:19:12,520 --> 01:19:17,880
Speaker 1: hard to maybe even yeah, even a team like Denver

1610
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:20,599
Speaker 1: may do that just to kind of kick it around,

1611
01:19:20,720 --> 01:19:26,439
Speaker 1: you know, Um, San Diego may do that. Lots of

1612
01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:31,599
Speaker 1: possibilities out there, But yeah, I think Jacksonville looks likely

1613
01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:36,960
Speaker 1: for Andy Dalton. He's a good and I know people

1614
01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:39,840
Speaker 1: he's a mediocre quarterback, I get it, but man, oh man,

1615
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:42,800
Speaker 1: the guy is solid and he's you know, he won't

1616
01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:45,400
Speaker 1: win very many games for you, but he will he

1617
01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:48,080
Speaker 1: won't lose too many either. Now, certainly he's ran into

1618
01:19:48,120 --> 01:19:50,160
Speaker 1: some struggles last year with turning it over, which is

1619
01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:52,920
Speaker 1: why he got he kind of got benched. But you know,

1620
01:19:53,120 --> 01:19:55,400
Speaker 1: let's I think that has as much to do with

1621
01:19:55,439 --> 01:19:56,920
Speaker 1: the people around him, and I think he's one of

1622
01:19:56,920 --> 01:19:59,400
Speaker 1: those quarterbacks that things have got to be right around him.

1623
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:02,679
Speaker 1: But there's some teams out there that that would benefit

1624
01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:04,639
Speaker 1: from having Andy Dalton on their roster. And I don't

1625
01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:06,679
Speaker 1: think you can have to pay him seventeen million bucks

1626
01:20:06,720 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 1: to get him to do it. No, this article does

1627
01:20:09,280 --> 01:20:12,040
Speaker 1: mention the Denver Broncos. They say that if the Broncos

1628
01:20:12,080 --> 01:20:14,479
Speaker 1: are committed to second your man Drew Lock as their starter,

1629
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:18,240
Speaker 1: Dalton would be a good, a good addition to be

1630
01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:22,200
Speaker 1: the backup. They have just Jeff Driscoll backing up Drew

1631
01:20:22,280 --> 01:20:24,479
Speaker 1: Lock right now. Driscoll used to play with the Bengals too,

1632
01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:27,040
Speaker 1: And they mentioned the Jets, which I don't agree with.

1633
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:28,679
Speaker 1: I think the Jets are going to be all set

1634
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:31,200
Speaker 1: Sam Donald as a starter. I mean, there's no way

1635
01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:34,000
Speaker 1: that you want Andy Dalton playing in front of Sam Donald,

1636
01:20:34,439 --> 01:20:37,000
Speaker 1: maybe as a backup. But they did add a rookie quarterback,

1637
01:20:37,320 --> 01:20:42,400
Speaker 1: James Morgan from FIU. I don't know David Fails is

1638
01:20:42,439 --> 01:20:43,920
Speaker 1: there to back him up. I don't know that it

1639
01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:47,840
Speaker 1: fits with the Jets. As much as Judy Batista rights,

1640
01:20:47,880 --> 01:20:50,960
Speaker 1: I think I think Jacksonville and New England are maybe

1641
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:53,560
Speaker 1: the two best options for Andy Dalton, and maybe for

1642
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:58,519
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars in particular. I will say this though,

1643
01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:01,000
Speaker 1: I do think Andy Dalton's got football in him, you know,

1644
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:06,200
Speaker 1: I really do. So we'll see. I think he's gonna

1645
01:21:06,280 --> 01:21:08,200
Speaker 1: land somewhere, and I think it's gonna be very soon

1646
01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:11,840
Speaker 1: that he does. Let's get back to the Twitter poll.

1647
01:21:11,880 --> 01:21:14,640
Speaker 1: We're asking the question, other than Stefan Diggs, who has

1648
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:18,479
Speaker 1: been your favorite Bills offseason addition or on the tweet

1649
01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:21,559
Speaker 1: sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, official movers

1650
01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:25,360
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. Jason tweets in it's a tie

1651
01:21:26,439 --> 01:21:29,360
Speaker 1: watching Gabe Davis at Central Florida how effected he was

1652
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:32,160
Speaker 1: throughout his career. He's an amazing, sneaky pickup with a

1653
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:35,920
Speaker 1: great work ethic Defensively, Mario addison sack production is a

1654
01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:38,479
Speaker 1: huge addition to the roster and I'm excited to see

1655
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:41,519
Speaker 1: how he produces in Buffalo. You know, Gave Davis. If

1656
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:43,400
Speaker 1: there is a preseason, Gave Davis will get a chance

1657
01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:45,240
Speaker 1: to show what he has there. I don't know how

1658
01:21:45,320 --> 01:21:46,960
Speaker 1: much he's gonna play. I mean, he is clearly the

1659
01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:49,559
Speaker 1: fourth and maybe the fifth wide receiver on the Bills

1660
01:21:49,680 --> 01:21:52,880
Speaker 1: roster now, so his snaps will be limited behind the

1661
01:21:52,920 --> 01:21:56,800
Speaker 1: top three. But maybe he you know, maybe he shows

1662
01:21:56,800 --> 01:22:00,679
Speaker 1: out in preseason, makes a difference in preseason. I don't know. Yeah, maybe,

1663
01:22:00,720 --> 01:22:02,960
Speaker 1: And you're right, it's a crowded room and it's gonna

1664
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:07,200
Speaker 1: be hard for Gabe Davis or Hodgens to get on

1665
01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:09,400
Speaker 1: the field as a wide receiver given the fact they've

1666
01:22:09,400 --> 01:22:12,760
Speaker 1: got some pretty established guys ahead of them. But there's

1667
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:14,960
Speaker 1: no doubt it's he's gonna be sometimes and when they're

1668
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:16,639
Speaker 1: gonna get active and they're gonna get on the field

1669
01:22:16,680 --> 01:22:18,200
Speaker 1: for a couple of reps and they're gonna get a

1670
01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:22,200
Speaker 1: couple of opportunities. And it's been my experience Murph by

1671
01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:25,080
Speaker 1: watching this coaching staff and this team. If you get

1672
01:22:25,120 --> 01:22:27,120
Speaker 1: in and you make the most of your opportunities, you're

1673
01:22:27,160 --> 01:22:30,080
Speaker 1: going to get more opportunities. So if those guys are

1674
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:32,800
Speaker 1: deserving of more snaps, they'll earn them and they'll get them.

1675
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:35,639
Speaker 1: One more from the tweet sheet from William, he says,

1676
01:22:35,680 --> 01:22:38,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Jake From. I know that Josh Allen

1677
01:22:38,439 --> 01:22:40,200
Speaker 1: is our quarterback, but to get Jake From in the

1678
01:22:40,280 --> 01:22:42,600
Speaker 1: fifth round is a steel. The kid's a winner. He

1679
01:22:42,640 --> 01:22:44,479
Speaker 1: will add to the room, similar to what Frank Wright

1680
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:46,720
Speaker 1: did for Jim Kelly. It's great for the Bills to

1681
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:49,479
Speaker 1: be in a position now to draft how they did. Yeah,

1682
01:22:51,400 --> 01:22:53,720
Speaker 1: that means taken the best player available. Yeah, I guess

1683
01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:57,679
Speaker 1: it does. Yeah, And I think you know, Random Beans

1684
01:22:57,680 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 1: said on our show Monday, you know it is his

1685
01:22:59,439 --> 01:23:01,920
Speaker 1: draft board dictated Jake Frown. He said it three times.

1686
01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:04,559
Speaker 1: Draft board, draft board, draft board. Here's Jake From sitting

1687
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:06,800
Speaker 1: out there with a higher grade than anybody else available

1688
01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:09,280
Speaker 1: to them in the fifth round, and he couldn't he

1689
01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:11,800
Speaker 1: couldn't pass them up. So, yeah, they're in position to

1690
01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:14,320
Speaker 1: draft like that. And I think there's there's no look

1691
01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:16,599
Speaker 1: as I said the other day, the very worst team,

1692
01:23:16,640 --> 01:23:19,400
Speaker 1: but the very worst Jake brom develops and all of

1693
01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:21,240
Speaker 1: a sudden, maybe a year or two down the road,

1694
01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:24,559
Speaker 1: he becomes Buffalo's Jimmy Garoppolo tried him away and gets

1695
01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:26,680
Speaker 1: some really valuable draft picks. Right. I mean, that's one

1696
01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:29,720
Speaker 1: way to look at it. Yeah, I agree, And it's

1697
01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:35,320
Speaker 1: those guys a premium position. If the guy shows anything,

1698
01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:40,040
Speaker 1: even if he's not playing in Buffalo, that's it. Man,

1699
01:23:40,120 --> 01:23:43,320
Speaker 1: He's a valuable asset and he might turn into you know,

1700
01:23:43,439 --> 01:23:45,080
Speaker 1: great player down the road, even if he doesn't play

1701
01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:47,880
Speaker 1: for Buffalo. So it's it's just it's a smart way

1702
01:23:47,920 --> 01:23:50,680
Speaker 1: to do it. It's a nod toward house. As we

1703
01:23:50,760 --> 01:23:53,000
Speaker 1: talked about this early in the week, Murph about you

1704
01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:55,040
Speaker 1: get to a position where you actually can take the

1705
01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:58,560
Speaker 1: best player available, and Brandon Beans said it, said it

1706
01:23:58,720 --> 01:24:01,280
Speaker 1: the best. He said, listen, you're going down and it's

1707
01:24:01,400 --> 01:24:04,559
Speaker 1: you know, and it's hard for most people to say, okay,

1708
01:24:04,640 --> 01:24:08,200
Speaker 1: what about this, like, for instance, Tyler Bass, how how

1709
01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:12,560
Speaker 1: much do we're gonna take Tyler Bass over this linebacker

1710
01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:15,320
Speaker 1: over here? And it's two different positions, and you look

1711
01:24:15,360 --> 01:24:17,800
Speaker 1: at it and you just say Okay, which one of

1712
01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:20,080
Speaker 1: these guys has the best chance to make in our club?

1713
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:22,800
Speaker 1: And that's why you end up with a guy like

1714
01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:25,400
Speaker 1: Tyler Bass because any linebacker on the board that they

1715
01:24:25,439 --> 01:24:27,479
Speaker 1: had left on their board, they just didn't believe had

1716
01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:29,960
Speaker 1: a chance to make their their roster. So I think

1717
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:32,439
Speaker 1: that's what it comes down to, and I think it's uh.

1718
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:35,400
Speaker 1: I think it speaks to the strength of the roster

1719
01:24:35,560 --> 01:24:37,800
Speaker 1: that they've evolved into over the last two or three years.

1720
01:24:38,040 --> 01:24:39,519
Speaker 1: All I got a break here and we come back

1721
01:24:39,520 --> 01:24:41,360
Speaker 1: to Seve a couple of questions on Twitter for you

1722
01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:45,120
Speaker 1: about not responding to our question, but the interesting questions. Nonetheless,

1723
01:24:45,120 --> 01:24:47,160
Speaker 1: we'll get to those when we return. One goes Why,

1724
01:24:47,320 --> 01:24:49,800
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health on the radio Today, this is

1725
01:24:49,840 --> 01:24:59,479
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back out of cal Rainey Thursday afternoon.

1726
01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:02,160
Speaker 1: We're doing Bill's Lives, presented by Collat of Health John Murphy.

1727
01:25:02,240 --> 01:25:05,200
Speaker 1: Steve Canst found a lot about Andy Dalton today released

1728
01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:08,280
Speaker 1: by the Cincinnati Bengals. We've made it almost more than

1729
01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:12,080
Speaker 1: halfway through the show, Stephen, no one has brought up

1730
01:25:12,360 --> 01:25:15,360
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton's place in Buffalo Bill's history. And he's got

1731
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 1: to say neificant place in Bill's history. That might be

1732
01:25:18,280 --> 01:25:21,960
Speaker 1: that touchdown pass final minute, fourth and thirteen they beat

1733
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:24,280
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens. The Bills are watching in the locker

1734
01:25:24,360 --> 01:25:26,800
Speaker 1: room in Miami, and Bill's pains are watching all over

1735
01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:30,280
Speaker 1: the globe. That might be the most significant touchdown pass

1736
01:25:30,360 --> 01:25:33,000
Speaker 1: in Bill's history, and it was not thrown by a buffalo. Bill.

1737
01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:35,479
Speaker 1: I mean, it's incredible when you see that again, that play,

1738
01:25:37,240 --> 01:25:40,360
Speaker 1: it's right, and it's to me. And I told this

1739
01:25:40,479 --> 01:25:43,120
Speaker 1: to I told this to Thurman and Bruce and those guys,

1740
01:25:43,200 --> 01:25:46,840
Speaker 1: you know, Murph, and I said, dude, you know all

1741
01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:49,000
Speaker 1: the times from when we were playing and all this stuff,

1742
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:50,639
Speaker 1: for the cool stuff that happened to all those guys

1743
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:54,920
Speaker 1: that we played with. That matches any moment in Bill's history.

1744
01:25:55,520 --> 01:25:59,800
Speaker 1: I know, I know it matches. It matches finally be

1745
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:03,120
Speaker 1: eating Miami after going over the seventies, when they tear

1746
01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:06,800
Speaker 1: the gold posts down, it has. It matches pandemonium. When

1747
01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:09,760
Speaker 1: the Bills beat the Jets and Fred Smerlas blocked a

1748
01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:13,479
Speaker 1: field goal to you seal the win, it matches the

1749
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:18,320
Speaker 1: comeback game. It matches you know, it's fifty one to three.

1750
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:22,759
Speaker 1: People remember where they were when the drought got broken,

1751
01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:26,480
Speaker 1: and the fact that you know today with the technology

1752
01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:28,920
Speaker 1: and everything is different about the culture today. We all

1753
01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:31,800
Speaker 1: got to do it together. Yeah, you know, we got

1754
01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:34,360
Speaker 1: to experience it with the team in the locker room,

1755
01:26:34,439 --> 01:26:37,080
Speaker 1: We got to experience it together with Thurman Thomas in

1756
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:42,360
Speaker 1: the concourse in Miami Stadium, we got their starens with

1757
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:44,880
Speaker 1: hundreds of people at the airport, i mean New Year's

1758
01:26:44,920 --> 01:26:47,519
Speaker 1: Eve hours later, hundreds and hundreds of people at the

1759
01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:49,880
Speaker 1: airport waiting to celebrate that moment. It was crazy. It

1760
01:26:50,040 --> 01:26:52,400
Speaker 1: was a big deal. It was the greatest and you

1761
01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:55,080
Speaker 1: know the fact that, you know, a couple of hundred

1762
01:26:55,120 --> 01:26:58,320
Speaker 1: thousand dollars got donated to Andy Dalton and his foundation

1763
01:26:58,479 --> 01:27:00,800
Speaker 1: and it went to a good cause, and and yeah,

1764
01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:05,360
Speaker 1: it's just it's one of those moments. I think it

1765
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:08,080
Speaker 1: rivals some of the great moments in franchise history for

1766
01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:11,040
Speaker 1: the fact that people it was. It was a good one.

1767
01:27:11,560 --> 01:27:14,040
Speaker 1: I mean, we were talking on Monday about the replay

1768
01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:17,320
Speaker 1: of that Dallas Monday Night game. We've all had gut wrenchers. Yeah,

1769
01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:19,639
Speaker 1: we can all remember that too, But man, oh man,

1770
01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:23,680
Speaker 1: the ones like that drought getting broken or few and

1771
01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:25,760
Speaker 1: far between, and I think those are the ones you saver.

1772
01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:29,720
Speaker 1: So dramatic fourth down, final minute, the Bills did their

1773
01:27:29,800 --> 01:27:32,800
Speaker 1: part in Miami and then sit and watch it was nuts.

1774
01:27:33,040 --> 01:27:34,720
Speaker 1: And how about you and I had the chance of

1775
01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:37,280
Speaker 1: what the following year when Andy Dalton came in for

1776
01:27:37,360 --> 01:27:39,639
Speaker 1: Frank Greig to call the Courage breakfast, when we sat

1777
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:41,960
Speaker 1: with him, talk with him, met his wife. He's just

1778
01:27:42,080 --> 01:27:45,120
Speaker 1: a great guy and I don't want today to go

1779
01:27:45,240 --> 01:27:47,639
Speaker 1: buy him. And he's released by the Bengals today, thirty

1780
01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:49,519
Speaker 1: two years old, probably can play more in the NFL.

1781
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:51,479
Speaker 1: His career is not done, but I don't want today

1782
01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:54,240
Speaker 1: to go buy without acknowledging his role in Bill's history,

1783
01:27:54,280 --> 01:27:57,080
Speaker 1: which we've just done, and really the experience you and

1784
01:27:57,160 --> 01:27:59,000
Speaker 1: I have had to talk with Andy Dalton about that

1785
01:27:59,120 --> 01:28:01,280
Speaker 1: moment and about just the kind of guy he is.

1786
01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:03,519
Speaker 1: He's a great, great guy. He's a credit to the

1787
01:28:03,640 --> 01:28:08,479
Speaker 1: NFL for sure. Is there a player on another team

1788
01:28:10,040 --> 01:28:14,439
Speaker 1: that will be will have a more positive or more

1789
01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:18,400
Speaker 1: prominent place in a positive aspect of Bill's history than

1790
01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:21,920
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. There's no way like a missed kick somewhere,

1791
01:28:22,880 --> 01:28:24,800
Speaker 1: a touchdown of somebody. I don't think there's any other

1792
01:28:24,840 --> 01:28:27,560
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of another player who meant in

1793
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:30,639
Speaker 1: a positive way more to Bill's fans on another team

1794
01:28:31,560 --> 01:28:34,439
Speaker 1: than Andy Dalton, and there is I don't There isn't one.

1795
01:28:34,840 --> 01:28:37,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I was just it just comes to mind

1796
01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:41,040
Speaker 1: because Mike Stratton just passed away King Lincoln, you know,

1797
01:28:41,160 --> 01:28:43,599
Speaker 1: gets hit and drilled by Stratton coughs up that ball

1798
01:28:43,640 --> 01:28:46,599
Speaker 1: in the AFL Championship game in nineteen sixty four. It's

1799
01:28:46,640 --> 01:28:48,479
Speaker 1: not a positive play that he made. It was a

1800
01:28:48,560 --> 01:28:50,759
Speaker 1: negative play for him, but a big play in Bill's history,

1801
01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:53,360
Speaker 1: and so the fact that it wasn't a positive play

1802
01:28:53,439 --> 01:28:55,680
Speaker 1: made for him, I think would put that in a

1803
01:28:55,720 --> 01:28:58,000
Speaker 1: different category. But no, I think you're right. I can't

1804
01:28:58,000 --> 01:28:59,920
Speaker 1: think of a guy who and an effort to get

1805
01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:02,919
Speaker 1: his team a win wherever he was playing, not Buffalo,

1806
01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:05,320
Speaker 1: meant as much to the Buffalo Bills, Right, is there

1807
01:29:05,360 --> 01:29:08,479
Speaker 1: anybody think it too? Like you think about like, is

1808
01:29:08,520 --> 01:29:10,519
Speaker 1: there any time when did the Bills need help to

1809
01:29:10,520 --> 01:29:13,400
Speaker 1: get in in the playoffs and it happened that you know,

1810
01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:16,439
Speaker 1: this happened, This happened, and this happened. I can't you know,

1811
01:29:16,520 --> 01:29:18,439
Speaker 1: And it doesn't this not doesn't happen every day. It

1812
01:29:18,520 --> 01:29:22,120
Speaker 1: can never happen every week where somebody benefits the Bills

1813
01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:24,840
Speaker 1: across the you know, across the league, where something helped

1814
01:29:24,880 --> 01:29:27,519
Speaker 1: the Bills somehow somewhere. So it's really a rare occurrence

1815
01:29:27,560 --> 01:29:29,479
Speaker 1: where anybody to have the opportunity to do that. I mean,

1816
01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:31,840
Speaker 1: I can't think of another opportunity. It's got to be,

1817
01:29:31,920 --> 01:29:35,720
Speaker 1: you know, late in the season where playoff seeding is

1818
01:29:35,800 --> 01:29:38,439
Speaker 1: on the line, because I remember one time we were

1819
01:29:38,479 --> 01:29:44,920
Speaker 1: getting off the plane in Indianapolis, nineteen eighty eight regular season,

1820
01:29:45,600 --> 01:29:50,000
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals are playing the Washington Redskins. They go

1821
01:29:50,160 --> 01:29:55,040
Speaker 1: to overtime or they were in regulation, perhaps in Chip

1822
01:29:55,080 --> 01:29:58,479
Speaker 1: blow Miller, the kicker for the Washington Redskins, has a

1823
01:29:58,640 --> 01:30:02,880
Speaker 1: thirty some yard field goal to win it and drinks

1824
01:30:02,920 --> 01:30:06,200
Speaker 1: it off the upright. Yeah. And and because of that,

1825
01:30:07,800 --> 01:30:11,320
Speaker 1: the Bills play the championship AFC Championship game in Cincinnati

1826
01:30:11,680 --> 01:30:14,760
Speaker 1: instead of in Buffalo. Yeah, and we end up losing it.

1827
01:30:14,880 --> 01:30:17,040
Speaker 1: So stuff. I remember when I happened. There was a

1828
01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:20,040
Speaker 1: sense when that happened, when low Miller did that, there

1829
01:30:20,120 --> 01:30:22,639
Speaker 1: was a sentence on the plane I was on that charter.

1830
01:30:22,840 --> 01:30:24,720
Speaker 1: There was a sense that's going to hurt us. You

1831
01:30:24,800 --> 01:30:26,639
Speaker 1: knew right then that was gonna hurt you a lot,

1832
01:30:26,920 --> 01:30:30,520
Speaker 1: a lot, and it did. Yeah, we had to, Yeah, absolutely,

1833
01:30:30,720 --> 01:30:35,160
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's it's impossible to just say that. If

1834
01:30:35,240 --> 01:30:36,519
Speaker 1: you know, you can do that all day. You can

1835
01:30:36,560 --> 01:30:40,200
Speaker 1: say the what ifs and what could have and maybe

1836
01:30:40,280 --> 01:30:42,640
Speaker 1: if that kind of stuff would have, could have, should have.

1837
01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:44,559
Speaker 1: So you can play that game all day and we'll

1838
01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:47,800
Speaker 1: never know the answers to all of it. But but man,

1839
01:30:47,880 --> 01:30:53,160
Speaker 1: oh man um, the Andy Dalton play lives forever. Yeah,

1840
01:30:53,640 --> 01:30:57,360
Speaker 1: there's nothing like it ever lives forever. Yep. And Andy

1841
01:30:57,400 --> 01:31:00,240
Speaker 1: Dalton released the day by the Cincinnati Bengals. We did

1842
01:31:00,280 --> 01:31:01,920
Speaker 1: a good job and not mentioning it until now. But

1843
01:31:02,360 --> 01:31:05,040
Speaker 1: you have to acknowledge he's an important figure in Bill's history,

1844
01:31:05,080 --> 01:31:09,200
Speaker 1: all time Bill's history, right, important. Yeah, like I said,

1845
01:31:09,320 --> 01:31:11,559
Speaker 1: he may be the only player another team who hit

1846
01:31:11,920 --> 01:31:14,720
Speaker 1: who reaches that. Yeah, I'm not saying put him on

1847
01:31:14,800 --> 01:31:23,040
Speaker 1: the Wall of Fame. Well you know why now he

1848
01:31:23,200 --> 01:31:26,519
Speaker 1: goes in every single conversation about you know, fifty one

1849
01:31:26,560 --> 01:31:28,920
Speaker 1: to three, the great comeback? Where were you when this happened?

1850
01:31:28,960 --> 01:31:31,920
Speaker 1: Where you know? And and it's you know, I've met

1851
01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:33,920
Speaker 1: like the joke, you know, I've met, you know, over

1852
01:31:33,960 --> 01:31:36,200
Speaker 1: a million people who were at the fifty one, at

1853
01:31:36,280 --> 01:31:40,439
Speaker 1: the at the greatest comeback game. Right, Yeah, there were

1854
01:31:40,479 --> 01:31:42,519
Speaker 1: seventy two thousand people in the stands and I've met

1855
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:45,960
Speaker 1: a million of them. Um, but it's true. I mean,

1856
01:31:46,040 --> 01:31:48,400
Speaker 1: that's gonna be one of those stories that that gets

1857
01:31:48,439 --> 01:31:54,519
Speaker 1: handed down. And uh and it wasn't just it was

1858
01:31:54,840 --> 01:32:01,280
Speaker 1: to end a seventeen year drought. That takes a lot.

1859
01:32:01,760 --> 01:32:05,200
Speaker 1: That's a lot of baggage that was dropped right then.

1860
01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:08,439
Speaker 1: You know, noe, we didn't carry that around with us anymore. Right,

1861
01:32:08,840 --> 01:32:12,160
Speaker 1: that's right. And thanks to that, thanks to that fourth

1862
01:32:12,280 --> 01:32:16,599
Speaker 1: down touchdown, and that that makes it a singular event

1863
01:32:16,800 --> 01:32:18,800
Speaker 1: in Bill's history. I think a lot of Bills fans

1864
01:32:18,840 --> 01:32:21,960
Speaker 1: appreciate it. You know, I'm not embarrassed by it, you know,

1865
01:32:22,080 --> 01:32:24,320
Speaker 1: I'm not. I think it's great. I was, I was.

1866
01:32:25,240 --> 01:32:27,680
Speaker 1: I'm thankful for that moment that it happened. You know,

1867
01:32:27,800 --> 01:32:29,840
Speaker 1: I wasn't a big fan of the seventeen years it

1868
01:32:29,880 --> 01:32:32,640
Speaker 1: took to get there, but man, oh man, what a

1869
01:32:32,760 --> 01:32:36,120
Speaker 1: way to end it. It's just awesome, unbelievable. All Right,

Speaker 1: Andy Dalton released by the Cincinnati Bengals today. He's been

1893
01:33:44,320 --> 01:33:46,559
Speaker 1: their starter since he was selected in the second round

1894
01:33:46,600 --> 01:33:49,280
Speaker 1: in twenty eleven. Dalton led the Bengals to the playoffs

1895
01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:52,360
Speaker 1: five times, lost each time in the wildcard round. He

1896
01:33:52,479 --> 01:33:56,519
Speaker 1: leaves Cincinnati as the franchise career leader in touchdown passes.

1897
01:33:56,560 --> 01:33:59,920
Speaker 1: The Dalton said to try to trade the quarterback. According

1898
01:33:59,960 --> 01:34:02,760
Speaker 1: to ESPN, they said Dalton requested the opportunity to see

1899
01:34:02,800 --> 01:34:05,360
Speaker 1: what's out there. There was no takers, and so Dalton

1900
01:34:05,520 --> 01:34:08,360
Speaker 1: was released, but Joe Burrow scheduled to take over at

1901
01:34:08,439 --> 01:34:11,559
Speaker 1: Cincinnati starting quarterback. A lot of Falcons running back Todd

1902
01:34:11,600 --> 01:34:14,400
Speaker 1: Gurley does not plan a grievance against the Rams over

1903
01:34:14,479 --> 01:34:17,200
Speaker 1: an unpaid roster bonus. Gurley released by the Rams o

1904
01:34:17,320 --> 01:34:19,920
Speaker 1: to seven and a half million dollars roster bonus. Offset

1905
01:34:20,040 --> 01:34:22,240
Speaker 1: language can reduce that payment by two and a half

1906
01:34:22,320 --> 01:34:25,240
Speaker 1: million dollars. And a vine Terry hopes to continue kicking

1907
01:34:25,280 --> 01:34:28,280
Speaker 1: in the NFL. He's forty seven years old. He hopes

1908
01:34:28,320 --> 01:34:30,160
Speaker 1: to kick in the twenty twenty season. It will be

1909
01:34:30,240 --> 01:34:33,960
Speaker 1: his twenty fifth campaign in forty eighth year on Earth.

1910
01:34:34,320 --> 01:34:36,720
Speaker 1: He told NFL Network he wants to return for a

1911
01:34:36,760 --> 01:34:39,639
Speaker 1: twenty fifth season, but he's slowed down his rehab following

1912
01:34:39,760 --> 01:34:43,920
Speaker 1: season ending knee surgery because of the quarantine. Chargers have

1913
01:34:44,080 --> 01:34:47,120
Speaker 1: hired Pet Hamilton as quarterbacks coach. He's forty five years old.

1914
01:34:47,160 --> 01:34:49,560
Speaker 1: He was head coach in the XFL recently and the

1915
01:34:49,640 --> 01:34:51,880
Speaker 1: National Hockey League, hoping his players can return to local

1916
01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:54,960
Speaker 1: team facilities at some point in the later half of May.

1917
01:34:55,360 --> 01:34:57,439
Speaker 1: The league is planning what it's calling Phase two of

1918
01:34:57,479 --> 01:35:00,519
Speaker 1: the transition period, sent a memo to it's players and

1919
01:35:00,560 --> 01:35:03,800
Speaker 1: teams communicating that aspiration. There you go. The update from

1920
01:35:03,840 --> 01:35:05,920
Speaker 1: one goes live John Murphy's team task. You're ready to

1921
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:08,200
Speaker 1: start our number three. That's got to be viewed as

1922
01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:11,760
Speaker 1: a plus. Steve. The NHL getting players training anyway for

1923
01:35:11,840 --> 01:35:14,320
Speaker 1: the second half of Maine that they're talking about finishing

1924
01:35:14,439 --> 01:35:17,120
Speaker 1: up the season. They had one hundred eighty nine regular

1925
01:35:17,160 --> 01:35:20,320
Speaker 1: season games left on the schedule the twenty nineteen twenty

1926
01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:24,960
Speaker 1: twenty schedule. They've talked about restarting and finishing up the season.

1927
01:35:24,960 --> 01:35:27,880
Speaker 1: I think it's thirteen games for the Buffalo Sabers. Yeah,

1928
01:35:27,960 --> 01:35:31,799
Speaker 1: that's well, it's interesting. I don't feel the need thirteen

1929
01:35:31,880 --> 01:35:33,960
Speaker 1: games after eight, you know, with an eighty two game

1930
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:37,000
Speaker 1: schedule and that means sixty nine games already in under

1931
01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:39,080
Speaker 1: their belt. I don't know if I need to see

1932
01:35:40,360 --> 01:35:42,840
Speaker 1: more regular season hockey. I'd like to see him just

1933
01:35:42,880 --> 01:35:45,240
Speaker 1: start the playoffs, so expand the playoffs back a couple

1934
01:35:45,280 --> 01:35:48,280
Speaker 1: of teams, making an even bracket and go from there.

1935
01:35:48,320 --> 01:35:51,280
Speaker 1: But I do like the fact that there's light at

1936
01:35:51,320 --> 01:35:54,040
Speaker 1: the end of the tunnel, you know, And I think

1937
01:35:54,120 --> 01:35:57,000
Speaker 1: that's Yeah, that's what I really liked. There's a fact

1938
01:35:57,040 --> 01:36:00,320
Speaker 1: that we've got leagues actually talking about getting things back together.

1939
01:36:00,360 --> 01:36:03,120
Speaker 1: The problem with me for me is how they're going

1940
01:36:03,160 --> 01:36:05,880
Speaker 1: to get these guys together to start practicing and how

1941
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:08,280
Speaker 1: much isolation do they have to be in, you know,

1942
01:36:08,400 --> 01:36:12,320
Speaker 1: before they can take the ice. Yeah, they're calling for

1943
01:36:12,880 --> 01:36:16,960
Speaker 1: four centrally located in NHL arenas to host several teams.

1944
01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:19,080
Speaker 1: They'll play multiple games each day, so it'll be a

1945
01:36:19,160 --> 01:36:22,040
Speaker 1: TV sport, I would think, right with that in mind, Yeah,

1946
01:36:22,040 --> 01:36:25,200
Speaker 1: it'd almost be like March Madness on the opening weekends.

1947
01:36:25,240 --> 01:36:26,920
Speaker 1: You know, you got a double header on every every

1948
01:36:26,960 --> 01:36:29,639
Speaker 1: day of the weekend Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and they knocked

1949
01:36:29,680 --> 01:36:34,000
Speaker 1: the games out pretty quick, right, no fans. They would

1950
01:36:34,040 --> 01:36:36,640
Speaker 1: live in environmentally controlled areas to prevent the stread of

1951
01:36:36,680 --> 01:36:40,320
Speaker 1: the spread of the virus among players, no fans allowed. Yeah,

1952
01:36:40,360 --> 01:36:43,000
Speaker 1: they can do that in Buffalo at the Harbor Center,

1953
01:36:43,120 --> 01:36:44,840
Speaker 1: right to put them up at the Marriott right there

1954
01:36:44,840 --> 01:36:47,559
Speaker 1: and just walk right across the arena every day. Um,

1955
01:36:47,760 --> 01:36:50,000
Speaker 1: that's that's possibility here in Buffalo to be one of

1956
01:36:50,040 --> 01:36:51,920
Speaker 1: those four things. They had four teams, they certainly have

1957
01:36:52,040 --> 01:36:56,240
Speaker 1: the facility set up to do that. Um. Yeah, it'd

1958
01:36:56,240 --> 01:37:00,960
Speaker 1: be interesting. I'd love to see him try it. I

1959
01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:03,280
Speaker 1: don't know, you know, I don't know if it's I

1960
01:37:03,320 --> 01:37:05,920
Speaker 1: don't know if it's responsible or whatever you want an adult.

1961
01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:07,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's you know what I mean.

1962
01:37:07,439 --> 01:37:09,320
Speaker 1: I'm not saying if they're jumping the gun. Maybe. I

1963
01:37:09,360 --> 01:37:12,720
Speaker 1: don't know. I have no idea. But it's fun to

1964
01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:15,160
Speaker 1: talk about, that's for sure. How I'm going to open up.

1965
01:37:15,439 --> 01:37:18,080
Speaker 1: I think and look, we're at a football show and

1966
01:37:18,439 --> 01:37:20,479
Speaker 1: we're looking at hockey here. But I do think it's

1967
01:37:20,640 --> 01:37:23,640
Speaker 1: a positive sign right that in the NFL still has

1968
01:37:23,720 --> 01:37:26,280
Speaker 1: this cushion, right. They don't start real games until September.

1969
01:37:26,520 --> 01:37:29,160
Speaker 1: But if some leagues start getting going in some fashion,

1970
01:37:29,880 --> 01:37:31,880
Speaker 1: is you know, with training in the second half of May.

1971
01:37:32,040 --> 01:37:34,439
Speaker 1: May starts tomorrow, so that's a couple of weeks away.

1972
01:37:34,520 --> 01:37:36,600
Speaker 1: That's nothing but a good sign for the what we

1973
01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:38,920
Speaker 1: might have ahead for the for the NFL. I think

1974
01:37:39,040 --> 01:37:41,880
Speaker 1: right right exactly and like I said, and like I

1975
01:37:42,120 --> 01:37:46,120
Speaker 1: actually said it last night on the on the Zoom

1976
01:37:46,200 --> 01:37:49,280
Speaker 1: meeting with Brandon Bean and Kim Pagoula and Adam Schefter

1977
01:37:49,520 --> 01:37:52,640
Speaker 1: and the business development people and all the partners, you know,

1978
01:37:52,760 --> 01:37:56,280
Speaker 1: the league. The NFL continues to benefit from the timing

1979
01:37:56,360 --> 01:38:01,160
Speaker 1: of when the coronavirus EPI pandemic hit, nothing was going on.

1980
01:38:02,320 --> 01:38:05,559
Speaker 1: It was you know, the Super Bowl was just over right,

1981
01:38:05,680 --> 01:38:09,400
Speaker 1: and and you know they started having to adjust schedules

1982
01:38:09,439 --> 01:38:11,400
Speaker 1: and that kind of thing. And it could not have

1983
01:38:11,479 --> 01:38:13,640
Speaker 1: happened in a better time for the NFL because that

1984
01:38:13,760 --> 01:38:17,439
Speaker 1: nothing was gone their calendar. And now they're continuing to

1985
01:38:17,520 --> 01:38:21,320
Speaker 1: benefit because they can push back the start of all

1986
01:38:21,400 --> 01:38:25,320
Speaker 1: the you know, the preseason stuff that only the football

1987
01:38:25,400 --> 01:38:28,760
Speaker 1: people care about. The fans don't care about, you know,

1988
01:38:28,880 --> 01:38:32,240
Speaker 1: TUGA wars and dodgeball and team building stuff in the

1989
01:38:32,320 --> 01:38:35,120
Speaker 1: preseason where they learned each other's names and start to

1990
01:38:35,520 --> 01:38:38,519
Speaker 1: you know, they they get you know, get pictures taken

1991
01:38:38,560 --> 01:38:40,800
Speaker 1: in their new uniforms. I mean, I don't nobody needs

1992
01:38:40,840 --> 01:38:43,920
Speaker 1: to see that. And like I said yesterday, Sean McDermott

1993
01:38:43,960 --> 01:38:46,599
Speaker 1: told us, I need two weeks of practice, a couple

1994
01:38:46,640 --> 01:38:49,680
Speaker 1: of preseason games, and we're good to go. And I

1995
01:38:49,760 --> 01:38:52,120
Speaker 1: think that's what most head coaches will tell you. As

1996
01:38:52,200 --> 01:38:55,320
Speaker 1: long as everybody has the same amount of prep, let's go.

1997
01:38:55,720 --> 01:38:57,720
Speaker 1: And you know, they're competitors and they don't mind. And

1998
01:38:57,920 --> 01:39:00,320
Speaker 1: and they think to get a team on the feeling

1999
01:39:00,400 --> 01:39:03,000
Speaker 1: looked like an NFL team with the guys they've already got,

2000
01:39:03,479 --> 01:39:05,960
Speaker 1: it takes them a month, yea, so they can push

2001
01:39:06,040 --> 01:39:08,960
Speaker 1: everything back that, you know what's interesting. And I don't

2002
01:39:09,040 --> 01:39:11,560
Speaker 1: dispute that Chun believes that, but I wonder if he

2003
01:39:11,600 --> 01:39:14,040
Speaker 1: would have ever admitted that, say a year ago. I mean,

2004
01:39:14,040 --> 01:39:16,240
Speaker 1: you couldn't imagine a year ago something like this happening.

2005
01:39:16,560 --> 01:39:18,719
Speaker 1: A year ago, they would have him and other coaches

2006
01:39:18,760 --> 01:39:20,680
Speaker 1: would have said, oh no, we need those OTAs in

2007
01:39:20,720 --> 01:39:23,160
Speaker 1: the spring. Oh no, that mini camp in June is

2008
01:39:23,280 --> 01:39:25,560
Speaker 1: very important. To us, Oh, we need four weeks of

2009
01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:28,200
Speaker 1: training camp before we even strap up to play a

2010
01:39:28,280 --> 01:39:30,360
Speaker 1: preseason game. Now he's saying, yeah, give me four weeks,

2011
01:39:30,400 --> 01:39:32,160
Speaker 1: I'll be ready to go. It wouldn't have said Dad

2012
01:39:32,200 --> 01:39:35,400
Speaker 1: a year ago. Nobody would. But I think too, it's

2013
01:39:35,439 --> 01:39:38,920
Speaker 1: the simple fact that if everybody's in the same boat,

2014
01:39:39,840 --> 01:39:42,640
Speaker 1: they'll take their chances. But if you're gonna, if you're

2015
01:39:42,640 --> 01:39:44,320
Speaker 1: gonna talk to your own owner, and he says, I

2016
01:39:44,320 --> 01:39:46,280
Speaker 1: don't you know, we don't need to bring these guys

2017
01:39:46,320 --> 01:39:48,160
Speaker 1: in and put them up in a hotel for three weeks.

2018
01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:49,720
Speaker 1: What are you doing? You know? That's you know, you're

2019
01:39:49,760 --> 01:39:51,760
Speaker 1: costing us like a million bucks to do all this

2020
01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:55,760
Speaker 1: preseason jump rope stuff. And then that's when you got

2021
01:39:55,840 --> 01:39:58,519
Speaker 1: to kind of sell the importance of it to give

2022
01:39:58,560 --> 01:40:00,680
Speaker 1: you every edge. But when push comes to shove and

2023
01:40:00,720 --> 01:40:03,360
Speaker 1: everybody else is in the same boat too, uh, and

2024
01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:06,200
Speaker 1: you need the bare bones and only what you really need.

2025
01:40:06,840 --> 01:40:08,519
Speaker 1: I think that says it all, you know. And I

2026
01:40:08,600 --> 01:40:10,680
Speaker 1: think when you come this close, really close to not

2027
01:40:10,800 --> 01:40:13,240
Speaker 1: having a season at all, everybody kind of wakes up

2028
01:40:13,240 --> 01:40:15,240
Speaker 1: and says, oh, okay, we can get back with four weeks.

2029
01:40:15,320 --> 01:40:16,720
Speaker 1: You know what, I mean right, I mean, it's not

2030
01:40:16,800 --> 01:40:19,760
Speaker 1: that hard doing vision No twenty twenty NFL season at all.

2031
01:40:20,160 --> 01:40:22,519
Speaker 1: And I'm sure coaches and players and look you I've

2032
01:40:22,560 --> 01:40:24,840
Speaker 1: thought about it, haven't you. What would it be like

2033
01:40:24,960 --> 01:40:27,240
Speaker 1: not to have a football season? You come closely, you

2034
01:40:27,320 --> 01:40:30,240
Speaker 1: can see what, Okay, what do we really need? They

2035
01:40:30,240 --> 01:40:33,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't even you wouldn't even seem un till August fifteenth. Yeah,

2036
01:40:33,840 --> 01:40:37,680
Speaker 1: you know that's and that that makes me shrug my

2037
01:40:37,720 --> 01:40:40,240
Speaker 1: shoulder and you know, raise my eyebrows and say, yeah,

2038
01:40:40,280 --> 01:40:43,080
Speaker 1: maybe maybe might be able to do that, you know, yeah,

2039
01:40:43,160 --> 01:40:45,680
Speaker 1: we might be able to make August um as a

2040
01:40:45,800 --> 01:40:49,920
Speaker 1: as a league and pop out onto the landscape. Then um,

2041
01:40:52,080 --> 01:40:57,519
Speaker 1: there is matter drop dead date of August fifteenth, you know,

2042
01:40:57,640 --> 01:41:01,160
Speaker 1: I of getting training camp going and getting a season

2043
01:41:01,240 --> 01:41:03,519
Speaker 1: underway that we that we would recognize with a couple

2044
01:41:03,560 --> 01:41:06,640
Speaker 1: of preseason games and then the regular season. Yeah, I

2045
01:41:06,720 --> 01:41:10,519
Speaker 1: mean you don't have that's not a real date, right, AUGUSTA.

2046
01:41:10,640 --> 01:41:12,640
Speaker 1: That's me and you, well, me and you. I mean

2047
01:41:13,120 --> 01:41:17,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna call us and ask us, right, we got

2048
01:41:17,840 --> 01:41:20,400
Speaker 1: this call though, Joe and Rochester around the line with us. Hello, Joe,

2049
01:41:20,400 --> 01:41:23,479
Speaker 1: go ahead, you around the air, are you doing. I

2050
01:41:23,560 --> 01:41:26,920
Speaker 1: got one answer to your question, kind of serious, A

2051
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:30,080
Speaker 1: one tongue in cheek. I like Kleine picked up as

2052
01:41:30,120 --> 01:41:35,080
Speaker 1: a linebacker to fill in our only major vacancy. Going

2053
01:41:35,160 --> 01:41:37,799
Speaker 1: back to what your previous callers said about the secondary

2054
01:41:37,920 --> 01:41:40,920
Speaker 1: being signed for a couple more years and then, uh,

2055
01:41:41,040 --> 01:41:44,160
Speaker 1: sort of tongue in cheek. As a longtime Bills fan,

2056
01:41:44,280 --> 01:41:48,559
Speaker 1: I've been enjoying watching all the squirm at the couples

2057
01:41:48,640 --> 01:41:52,880
Speaker 1: Cox Junior because I was at the seniors game when

2058
01:41:52,960 --> 01:41:57,960
Speaker 1: he U gave us his terms of endearment, and it's

2059
01:41:58,040 --> 01:42:01,960
Speaker 1: kind of weird. It is kind of weird. You're right.

2060
01:42:02,080 --> 01:42:05,320
Speaker 1: He Actually we had a listener tweet in this question.

2061
01:42:05,360 --> 01:42:07,200
Speaker 1: Why don't know what Steam thinks about the Bill signing

2062
01:42:07,280 --> 01:42:10,080
Speaker 1: Brian Cox junior since he played against his father. We

2063
01:42:10,160 --> 01:42:13,320
Speaker 1: talked about this a little bit yesterday. But you have nothing,

2064
01:42:13,439 --> 01:42:15,120
Speaker 1: I think, well maybe not nothing, but you have a

2065
01:42:15,160 --> 01:42:17,400
Speaker 1: certain amount of respect for Brian Cox senior. Right See,

2066
01:42:17,960 --> 01:42:20,120
Speaker 1: he was my teammate in the Pro Bowl, and he

2067
01:42:20,240 --> 01:42:22,200
Speaker 1: was my teammate the year it was the MVP of

2068
01:42:22,280 --> 01:42:27,320
Speaker 1: that game. He's listen. Brian Cox was a great player,

2069
01:42:27,600 --> 01:42:33,440
Speaker 1: truly a great player. He was an incredibly intense competitor.

2070
01:42:34,200 --> 01:42:38,240
Speaker 1: He gave a full effort all the time. There was

2071
01:42:38,280 --> 01:42:40,880
Speaker 1: a great deal of respect on our side for him

2072
01:42:40,920 --> 01:42:44,920
Speaker 1: and his abilities. Now, he did bring a short fuse

2073
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:48,120
Speaker 1: to the table and got kicked out of more games

2074
01:42:48,160 --> 01:42:52,519
Speaker 1: than anybody I know of in the history of sports. Well,

2075
01:42:52,600 --> 01:42:54,840
Speaker 1: I certainly think he's gotten thrown out of more games

2076
01:42:54,880 --> 01:42:57,479
Speaker 1: than anybody maybe in NFL history. I will say that

2077
01:42:57,640 --> 01:43:00,280
Speaker 1: I think he led the league in that. So he

2078
01:43:00,479 --> 01:43:06,360
Speaker 1: did have that going. But I just yeah, and if

2079
01:43:06,600 --> 01:43:10,080
Speaker 1: and if Brian Cox Junior has that same competitive streak

2080
01:43:10,200 --> 01:43:16,160
Speaker 1: in him, he's a plus. His dad. His dad was

2081
01:43:16,240 --> 01:43:19,320
Speaker 1: a great player, and he's a really good coach even now.

2082
01:43:19,680 --> 01:43:21,720
Speaker 1: And I've spoken with him at length now he was

2083
01:43:21,760 --> 01:43:23,680
Speaker 1: with the Jets and when last I spoke to him

2084
01:43:23,680 --> 01:43:26,519
Speaker 1: at length and just couldn't have been nicer, could not

2085
01:43:26,680 --> 01:43:29,800
Speaker 1: have been a nicer guy. And so yeah, it is

2086
01:43:29,920 --> 01:43:32,880
Speaker 1: kind of makes Bill's fans raise their eyebrows and squirm

2087
01:43:32,920 --> 01:43:35,840
Speaker 1: a little bit, like, oh my gosh, you know, is

2088
01:43:35,880 --> 01:43:37,519
Speaker 1: Brian Cox is gonna show up to one of his

2089
01:43:37,600 --> 01:43:41,720
Speaker 1: son's games wearing Bill's here. I got to see that.

2090
01:43:42,560 --> 01:43:46,160
Speaker 1: I have got to see that. But it may happen. Yeah, Yeah,

2091
01:43:46,160 --> 01:43:48,120
Speaker 1: it's a good question. Let's take another phone call here

2092
01:43:48,240 --> 01:43:51,559
Speaker 1: from Pittsburgh, New York. Steve in Pittsburgh, Hello, step around

2093
01:43:51,560 --> 01:43:55,120
Speaker 1: the air. Hey guys, thanks for taking my calls. First,

2094
01:43:55,160 --> 01:43:58,840
Speaker 1: saying caller, I love your show. Thanks question. I'm most

2095
01:43:58,880 --> 01:44:03,640
Speaker 1: excited about Real Davis and Isaiah Hodges. To me, they

2096
01:44:03,720 --> 01:44:07,680
Speaker 1: were unexpected picks and we had trouble scoring touchdowns last year.

2097
01:44:08,240 --> 01:44:13,120
Speaker 1: I love the digs and Zack Moss adding to the offense,

2098
01:44:13,160 --> 01:44:14,800
Speaker 1: and I really think they're going to help us smooth

2099
01:44:14,840 --> 01:44:18,519
Speaker 1: the ball. But what I'm really excited about with these

2100
01:44:18,560 --> 01:44:21,080
Speaker 1: two receivers the promise that they hold, at least the

2101
01:44:21,120 --> 01:44:24,240
Speaker 1: impression I have is in the red zone. Both being tall,

2102
01:44:24,800 --> 01:44:28,120
Speaker 1: the jump vall ability, being sure handed, and they're catch radius.

2103
01:44:28,640 --> 01:44:30,519
Speaker 1: You know, I know they both may not make the team,

2104
01:44:30,640 --> 01:44:33,200
Speaker 1: but I just get really excited when I think about

2105
01:44:33,200 --> 01:44:34,960
Speaker 1: the prospects of what they might be able they added

2106
01:44:35,080 --> 01:44:37,880
Speaker 1: the team if they get on the field. That's a

2107
01:44:37,960 --> 01:44:40,559
Speaker 1: very good point, Steve and Steve Tasker. I think Steve

2108
01:44:40,680 --> 01:44:42,880
Speaker 1: and Pittsford makes a good point right at the end.

2109
01:44:42,880 --> 01:44:44,840
Speaker 1: He said they might not make the team. Yeah, you're right.

2110
01:44:44,920 --> 01:44:47,560
Speaker 1: I mean, Hodgens is a sixth round pick. You know,

2111
01:44:47,640 --> 01:44:49,680
Speaker 1: he may be a practice squad guy. I would think

2112
01:44:49,720 --> 01:44:52,000
Speaker 1: the fourth rounder Davis has a chance to make the

2113
01:44:52,080 --> 01:44:54,960
Speaker 1: team either way. We know already who the top three

2114
01:44:55,040 --> 01:44:57,320
Speaker 1: receivers are, so both of them are gonna have to

2115
01:44:57,439 --> 01:45:02,479
Speaker 1: scrap to get playing time, wouldn't you think, Steve Tasker?

2116
01:45:02,479 --> 01:45:14,760
Speaker 1: Are you there, Steve Debiluja, are you muted? Okay, we've

2117
01:45:14,800 --> 01:45:16,600
Speaker 1: lost Steve Tasker. Somehow I can see him, but I

2118
01:45:16,680 --> 01:45:20,559
Speaker 1: can't hear him. Eight fifty toll free one eight eight

2119
01:45:20,960 --> 01:45:24,120
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty This news. We got a

2120
01:45:24,200 --> 01:45:26,880

01:45:32,640 --> 01:45:35,600
Speaker 1: early part of the afternoon, the virtual meetings they have,

2124
01:45:36,080 --> 01:45:38,160
Speaker 1: and at two twenty or so, about four minutes from now,

2131
01:45:53,800 --> 01:45:56,000
Speaker 1: we're looking forward to that. In the meantime, let's get

2132
01:45:56,080 --> 01:45:59,120
Speaker 1: back to the the tweet sheet brought you by Corrigan

2133
01:45:59,200 --> 01:46:02,880
Speaker 1: Moving Systems, the official movers of the Buffalo Bills. The

2134
01:46:03,439 --> 01:46:06,599
Speaker 1: tweet sheet to answer our question, other than Stefan Diggs,

2135
01:46:07,120 --> 01:46:10,240
Speaker 1: who's been your favorite offseason addition for the Buffalo Bills,

2136
01:46:10,280 --> 01:46:13,920
Speaker 1: Pat says, I think Josh Norman and Mario Addison are

2137
01:46:14,200 --> 01:46:16,640
Speaker 1: two key areas other than Diggs to propel them to

2138
01:46:16,720 --> 01:46:19,599
Speaker 1: winning games and being the top defense in the league.

2139
01:46:20,360 --> 01:46:23,720
Speaker 1: Good one. Mario Addison, Yeah, a lot of people like him.

2140
01:46:23,920 --> 01:46:27,720
Speaker 1: Josh Norman's gonna be interesting. And Josh Norman is you know,

2141
01:46:28,160 --> 01:46:31,120
Speaker 1: a record of success in the NFL. He's also coming

2142
01:46:31,160 --> 01:46:33,160
Speaker 1: off a couple of rough years in the NFL. What

2143
01:46:33,240 --> 01:46:35,640
Speaker 1: does he have to offer the Bills? That remains to

2144
01:46:35,680 --> 01:46:38,880
Speaker 1: be seen. I think I hear you you there, Steve. Yeah,

2145
01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:42,280
Speaker 1: I'm kind I had to switch up microphones, so I

2146
01:46:42,360 --> 01:46:44,800
Speaker 1: might sound a little bit echoly, but here I am.

2147
01:46:44,840 --> 01:46:47,080
Speaker 1: I'm back. Can we blame you if you're muting your thing?

2148
01:46:47,200 --> 01:46:49,160
Speaker 1: I mean, is this a mute? That was not the problem?

2149
01:46:49,240 --> 01:46:51,240
Speaker 1: I'm not paying the dollar fine. I'm gonna need a

2150
01:46:51,320 --> 01:46:54,120
Speaker 1: ruling on this. I'm gonna need a ruling. Not Look,

2151
01:46:54,160 --> 01:46:56,640
Speaker 1: we'll see. My microphone is no longer plug. It's not me,

2152
01:46:57,080 --> 01:46:59,880
Speaker 1: it's not me. I promise you muted. He doesn't want

2153
01:46:59,880 --> 01:47:02,840
Speaker 1: to the lessons you muted? We haven't, did you say,

2154
01:47:02,920 --> 01:47:05,760
Speaker 1: Sean mcdermot's coming on, Yes, in about the two or

2155
01:47:05,800 --> 01:47:08,880
Speaker 1: three minutes. Sean McDermott. Yeah for that. Yeah, I'm ready

2156
01:47:08,920 --> 01:47:11,439
Speaker 1: for that. Here's another one from the tweet sheet from

2157
01:47:11,520 --> 01:47:15,000
Speaker 1: Rochester Bills. I believe Bass Tyler Bass will take the

2158
01:47:15,080 --> 01:47:17,400
Speaker 1: job away from how she got. We need youth at

2159
01:47:17,439 --> 01:47:19,320
Speaker 1: the position. The kid has a big leg to kick

2160
01:47:19,360 --> 01:47:21,960
Speaker 1: in the weather in Buffalo. Also, Zach Mossy has a

2161
01:47:22,000 --> 01:47:25,200
Speaker 1: bowling ball presence in the backfield with the shifty, smaller

2162
01:47:25,320 --> 01:47:28,000
Speaker 1: singletary who can catch a lot of passes, also be

2163
01:47:28,080 --> 01:47:30,600
Speaker 1: a wide wide receiver out of the backfield. Do you

2164
01:47:30,680 --> 01:47:32,519
Speaker 1: think I think Bass has a chance to take the

2165
01:47:32,600 --> 01:47:34,400
Speaker 1: job away. But I think he's got an uphill client,

2166
01:47:34,479 --> 01:47:38,160
Speaker 1: don't you see. Yeah, it's hard for work kicker to

2167
01:47:38,240 --> 01:47:41,920
Speaker 1: come in and make them and make an NFL roster

2168
01:47:42,080 --> 01:47:46,559
Speaker 1: unless there's nobody else there. Veterans just know. And it's

2169
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:48,720
Speaker 1: not to say that time or Mass doesn't get this.

2170
01:47:50,080 --> 01:47:54,320
Speaker 1: At the NFL level, it is about being consistent. You

2171
01:47:54,479 --> 01:47:56,880
Speaker 1: just don't miss kids. You make the short ones, you

2172
01:47:56,960 --> 01:47:59,320
Speaker 1: make the long ones, you make them all exactly the same.

2173
01:47:59,479 --> 01:48:01,800
Speaker 1: And the more we're consistent, you are Because Tyler Bass

2174
01:48:01,800 --> 01:48:03,639
Speaker 1: has got plenty of leg to play in the NFL.

2175
01:48:03,880 --> 01:48:06,760
Speaker 1: He probably had plenty of leg five years ago when

2176
01:48:06,840 --> 01:48:09,160
Speaker 1: he was, you know, seventeen years old, he had he

2177
01:48:09,280 --> 01:48:13,040
Speaker 1: had enough leg. The difference is can you use the

2178
01:48:13,080 --> 01:48:16,000
Speaker 1: strength of that leg the same way every single time

2179
01:48:16,080 --> 01:48:18,040
Speaker 1: you approach the ball? And that's the real key, And

2180
01:48:18,160 --> 01:48:22,160
Speaker 1: that's what pro kickers get that. Some college kickers struggle

2181
01:48:22,240 --> 01:48:25,760
Speaker 1: with its consistency. How much, Well, let me ask you,

2182
01:48:26,040 --> 01:48:28,439
Speaker 1: you're around special teams. So long you're around a couple

2183
01:48:28,439 --> 01:48:31,759
Speaker 1: of kickers with the bills our special teams. Kicker coaches

2184
01:48:32,080 --> 01:48:34,040
Speaker 1: looking for a guy who can boot fifty five yard

2185
01:48:34,120 --> 01:48:36,040
Speaker 1: field goals on a regular basis, or looking for a

2186
01:48:36,080 --> 01:48:39,400
Speaker 1: guy who's going to make everything under forty five yards, Yes,

2187
01:48:40,200 --> 01:48:42,680
Speaker 1: which both all of them. They got to do it all.

2188
01:48:43,320 --> 01:48:45,200
Speaker 1: They gotta have a strong and if you're not doing

2189
01:48:45,240 --> 01:48:47,599
Speaker 1: all of that and not doing it on a consistent basis.

2190
01:48:48,840 --> 01:48:53,840
Speaker 1: Your team is drafting kickers every year, so and they're

2191
01:48:53,880 --> 01:48:58,000
Speaker 1: bringing guys kickers in every Tuesday. You have to be

2192
01:48:58,280 --> 01:49:01,600
Speaker 1: a total and complete kicker to hold your spot in

2193
01:49:01,680 --> 01:49:03,840
Speaker 1: the NFL. And if you're not, either you're on a

2194
01:49:03,960 --> 01:49:08,120
Speaker 1: team that has a kickoff guy or they're looking to

2195
01:49:08,200 --> 01:49:12,320
Speaker 1: replace you. If if you're a field goal kicker, if

2196
01:49:12,360 --> 01:49:14,880
Speaker 1: you're making your field goals, they'll live with you if

2197
01:49:14,920 --> 01:49:19,280
Speaker 1: you're not that great a kickoff guy, but if you're

2198
01:49:19,320 --> 01:49:21,240
Speaker 1: missing field goals, they don't care. If you can kick

2199
01:49:21,280 --> 01:49:23,760
Speaker 1: it over out out of the stadium, you're not going

2200
01:49:23,800 --> 01:49:26,080
Speaker 1: to be around very long. I was wondering, Steve and

2201
01:49:26,160 --> 01:49:29,360
Speaker 1: you were in on the league discussions what two years

2202
01:49:29,360 --> 01:49:32,479
Speaker 1: ago now to change the kickoff rules, and we always

2203
01:49:32,520 --> 01:49:34,479
Speaker 1: talk about how they've taken the kickoff out of the game.

2204
01:49:34,520 --> 01:49:37,439
Speaker 1: But from a kicker standpoint, it's almost more important now

2205
01:49:37,560 --> 01:49:40,800
Speaker 1: to get a good kickoff man to bury it deep,

2206
01:49:40,880 --> 01:49:43,800
Speaker 1: to negate the chance of having a touchback right more

2207
01:49:43,840 --> 01:49:47,360
Speaker 1: than it was before. I mean, obviously people aren't running

2208
01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:49,040
Speaker 1: down kicks the way they used to before, but it's

2209
01:49:49,080 --> 01:49:53,400
Speaker 1: different though it is it is it's become more about

2210
01:49:53,479 --> 01:49:56,720
Speaker 1: the kicker than the kickoff coverage. And that's that's a

2211
01:49:56,880 --> 01:49:59,240
Speaker 1: change from what was just two or three years ago.

2212
01:49:59,439 --> 01:50:01,840
Speaker 1: It's now the kickoffs are about the kickoff guy, not

2213
01:50:01,960 --> 01:50:04,760
Speaker 1: your coverage, and that's a big difference than it was

2214
01:50:04,840 --> 01:50:07,840
Speaker 1: just two or three years ago. And they look for

2215
01:50:07,960 --> 01:50:11,000
Speaker 1: guys like that. In fact, now you'll see the only

2216
01:50:11,080 --> 01:50:13,720
Speaker 1: time when it's not about the kicker is if on

2217
01:50:13,840 --> 01:50:17,559
Speaker 1: the extra point or the touchdown there's a personal foul

2218
01:50:17,720 --> 01:50:21,800
Speaker 1: on the offense or whatever, and they kick you kick

2219
01:50:21,840 --> 01:50:23,800
Speaker 1: off from the fifty after a personal foul. You know

2220
01:50:23,920 --> 01:50:26,479
Speaker 1: that happens maybe a handful of times this season. Then

2221
01:50:26,520 --> 01:50:29,479
Speaker 1: you want your kicker to kick it high as he

2222
01:50:29,600 --> 01:50:32,840
Speaker 1: can and landed inside the five, outside the numbers, so

2223
01:50:33,000 --> 01:50:34,960
Speaker 1: you can cover it and tackle him inside the ten.

2224
01:50:35,200 --> 01:50:37,160
Speaker 1: That's about the only time you don't want a guy

2225
01:50:37,200 --> 01:50:40,120
Speaker 1: that can kick it deep. But that's a rare occasion,

2226
01:50:41,160 --> 01:50:43,360
Speaker 1: all right. One Bill's Lives presented by Colloid of Health,

2227
01:50:43,439 --> 01:50:45,840
Speaker 1: John Murphy, Steve Taster coming to you and joining us

2228
01:50:45,880 --> 01:50:47,960
Speaker 1: on the line right now, the head coach of the

2229
01:50:48,000 --> 01:50:50,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill Sean mcdermotus with a hello, coach, how are

2230
01:50:50,880 --> 01:50:54,519
Speaker 1: you today? I'm doing well, guys, How were you good.

2231
01:50:54,520 --> 01:50:56,599
Speaker 1: We haven't talked to you since the combine. How you're

2232
01:50:56,600 --> 01:51:00,400
Speaker 1: holding up your family? Good? Everybody healthy and doing okay? Yeah,

2233
01:51:00,439 --> 01:51:03,400
Speaker 1: we're we are. We're blessed to be healthy, and we

2234
01:51:03,560 --> 01:51:05,960
Speaker 1: certainly know that there's a lot of people out there

2235
01:51:06,120 --> 01:51:09,160
Speaker 1: that aren't, and so our thoughts and prayers certainly go

2236
01:51:09,240 --> 01:51:11,880
Speaker 1: out to them. And and uh, I can't wait to

2237
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:16,120
Speaker 1: see thinks get back to normal here. Yes, and we're

2238
01:51:16,400 --> 01:51:18,880
Speaker 1: seeing we're starting to see murph. And I have noticed

2239
01:51:18,920 --> 01:51:21,120
Speaker 1: a couple of things on the horizon really just bumps

2240
01:51:21,160 --> 01:51:23,880
Speaker 1: on the radar, on the on the distance about you know,

2241
01:51:24,000 --> 01:51:26,719
Speaker 1: Hockey's thinking about bringing teams in and teams are starting

2242
01:51:26,760 --> 01:51:29,439
Speaker 1: to they're starting to loosen up a little bit. Um

2243
01:51:29,800 --> 01:51:32,160
Speaker 1: And I took the league really has benefited from the

2244
01:51:32,240 --> 01:51:34,080
Speaker 1: timing of the pandemic. I just said this a couple

2245
01:51:34,120 --> 01:51:35,800
Speaker 1: of minutes ago. And what are your thoughts on the

2246
01:51:35,840 --> 01:51:38,439
Speaker 1: fact that the league doesn't have to make any major

2247
01:51:38,640 --> 01:51:42,919
Speaker 1: adjustments to their schedule until you know, July and August.

2248
01:51:43,120 --> 01:51:47,040
Speaker 1: And I think that's a huge plus for the NFL. Yeah,

2249
01:51:47,080 --> 01:51:48,519
Speaker 1: I mean I think it is. You never want to

2250
01:51:48,560 --> 01:51:50,560
Speaker 1: see something like this come up. And I certainly know

2251
01:51:50,600 --> 01:51:53,000
Speaker 1: where you're coming from and where you're going on that, Steve,

2252
01:51:53,080 --> 01:51:56,560
Speaker 1: It's it's uh, you know, it's unfortunate right in a

2253
01:51:56,640 --> 01:52:00,880
Speaker 1: lot of ways, all things considered, um as far as

2254
01:52:00,960 --> 01:52:03,840
Speaker 1: the NFL is concerned, it happened or has happened at

2255
01:52:03,880 --> 01:52:06,760
Speaker 1: this point, you know, at a at a time where

2256
01:52:07,439 --> 01:52:12,160
Speaker 1: you know, we're not obviously in season and there's a

2257
01:52:12,240 --> 01:52:15,360
Speaker 1: lot more planning this type of year that can be

2258
01:52:15,520 --> 01:52:20,640
Speaker 1: done remotely or in the office or at home. You know.

2259
01:52:20,720 --> 01:52:23,720
Speaker 1: The part that is a little bit that does get

2260
01:52:23,840 --> 01:52:26,200
Speaker 1: challenging is we are trying to you know, bring our

2261
01:52:26,240 --> 01:52:29,479
Speaker 1: team together with typically this time of year whereas where

2262
01:52:29,520 --> 01:52:33,400
Speaker 1: we start our off season program. And I'm sure you

2263
01:52:33,439 --> 01:52:34,920
Speaker 1: guys want to get into that a little bit more.

2264
01:52:35,000 --> 01:52:37,040
Speaker 1: But that's been a little bit of a challenge. But

2265
01:52:37,120 --> 01:52:39,880
Speaker 1: our players have just been phenomenal in the way that

2266
01:52:40,000 --> 01:52:42,320
Speaker 1: they've been organized and on top of things with it.

2267
01:52:43,560 --> 01:52:46,240
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, Bill's head coaches live on the line with us, Well,

2268
01:52:46,280 --> 01:52:49,240
Speaker 1: let's talk about the offseason program. My understanding is you

2269
01:52:49,439 --> 01:52:52,679
Speaker 1: you really started up with the rookies next Monday, right, Sean,

2270
01:52:52,760 --> 01:52:54,120
Speaker 1: But if you had the veterans for about a week

2271
01:52:54,160 --> 01:52:57,800
Speaker 1: and a half now on the offseason program. Yeah, so

2272
01:52:57,920 --> 01:53:01,599
Speaker 1: the rookies that we just drafted, UM, and I'm sure

2273
01:53:01,640 --> 01:53:04,720
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that as well. They will start, uh

2274
01:53:05,080 --> 01:53:09,200
Speaker 1: formally with our rookie mini camp, which will be Mother's

2275
01:53:09,280 --> 01:53:11,360
Speaker 1: Day weekend, so not to come this coming weekend, but

2276
01:53:11,400 --> 01:53:15,320
Speaker 1: the following weekend. It will be in virtual format UM,

2277
01:53:15,640 --> 01:53:19,200
Speaker 1: as I know Brandon discussed a few days ago, UM,

2278
01:53:19,640 --> 01:53:22,200
Speaker 1: very similar to the way we're in the way we

2279
01:53:22,280 --> 01:53:27,000
Speaker 1: are engaging the veterans right now. Is it gonna be

2280
01:53:27,120 --> 01:53:29,599
Speaker 1: harder for those rookies to make the make the club

2281
01:53:29,640 --> 01:53:32,280
Speaker 1: and maybe rookies across the league. Is it gonna be

2282
01:53:32,360 --> 01:53:34,240
Speaker 1: harder for guys to break into the league this year,

2283
01:53:34,360 --> 01:53:37,320
Speaker 1: given the fact that the offseason is so jumbled and disjointed.

2284
01:53:38,680 --> 01:53:41,280
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be really interesting to watch them

2285
01:53:41,320 --> 01:53:45,519
Speaker 1: fold Steve. It's it's, you know, there's so many um,

2286
01:53:46,840 --> 01:53:49,160
Speaker 1: you know, challenges when it comes to time, When it

2287
01:53:49,240 --> 01:53:52,439
Speaker 1: comes down to time, and so when we you know,

2288
01:53:52,560 --> 01:53:56,559
Speaker 1: with the window um not being as open right now

2289
01:53:56,640 --> 01:53:59,519
Speaker 1: as we'd like it to be, UM because of the

2290
01:53:59,800 --> 01:54:02,680
Speaker 1: because of the COVID nineteen virus, It's it is going

2291
01:54:02,720 --> 01:54:05,519
Speaker 1: to be a challenge. I think, you know, continuity is

2292
01:54:05,640 --> 01:54:09,800
Speaker 1: certainly important, and the teams that have a lot of

2293
01:54:09,920 --> 01:54:13,840
Speaker 1: guys back from previous seasons, I think are going to

2294
01:54:13,920 --> 01:54:17,080
Speaker 1: have a little bit of an advantage at least to start,

2295
01:54:17,240 --> 01:54:19,640
Speaker 1: So we'll see where that goes. I'd be interested to

2296
01:54:19,720 --> 01:54:22,920
Speaker 1: look at the stats and the figures once, you know,

2297
01:54:23,000 --> 01:54:28,439
Speaker 1: once rosters are finalized come September. Sean McDermott our guests

2298
01:54:28,439 --> 01:54:31,479
Speaker 1: the Bill said, Coach Sean, we don't want any intimate

2299
01:54:31,520 --> 01:54:33,560
Speaker 1: details here, but can you give us a general sense

2300
01:54:33,640 --> 01:54:36,440
Speaker 1: of what a typical day this offseason program is like

2301
01:54:36,680 --> 01:54:39,680
Speaker 1: for your veterans. How long does it last, what kind

2302
01:54:39,680 --> 01:54:41,680
Speaker 1: of things are they doing? And the fact that you're

2303
01:54:41,720 --> 01:54:44,680
Speaker 1: not nobody is at a complex. How do you overcome

2304
01:54:44,760 --> 01:54:48,680
Speaker 1: that in this offseason conditioning program. Yeah, I mean for

2305
01:54:48,800 --> 01:54:51,560
Speaker 1: a player, it's probably a little bit different than for

2306
01:54:51,720 --> 01:54:54,800
Speaker 1: a coach at this point. But for a player, I'll

2307
01:54:54,840 --> 01:54:58,080
Speaker 1: just start there. You know, they there's four hours are

2308
01:54:58,240 --> 01:55:00,200
Speaker 1: very similar to what it would be if they we're

2309
01:55:00,240 --> 01:55:02,920
Speaker 1: in town in Buffalo and our facility, it's a four

2310
01:55:02,960 --> 01:55:06,680
Speaker 1: hour max. Two of the hours are spent uh in

2311
01:55:06,800 --> 01:55:10,440
Speaker 1: the classroom UM meeting wise, and then two of the

2312
01:55:10,520 --> 01:55:15,200
Speaker 1: hours are spent with workouts, so some of the obviously

2313
01:55:15,360 --> 01:55:18,800
Speaker 1: some uh, from an accountability standpoint, we have a little

2314
01:55:18,840 --> 01:55:21,760
Speaker 1: bit of a of a of an easier gauge on

2315
01:55:21,880 --> 01:55:24,280
Speaker 1: the meetings piece of it than we do on the

2316
01:55:24,320 --> 01:55:28,320
Speaker 1: workout piece. Uh. But that said, our our strength coach

2317
01:55:28,360 --> 01:55:31,040
Speaker 1: air At Siano and his staff have done a phenomenal

2318
01:55:31,200 --> 01:55:35,400
Speaker 1: job of creating or being creative and finding ways to

2319
01:55:36,200 --> 01:55:39,440
Speaker 1: to measure some of of what's going on with our

2320
01:55:39,520 --> 01:55:42,160
Speaker 1: with our workouts, so that so that we know who's

2321
01:55:42,280 --> 01:55:46,280
Speaker 1: who's compleating them and who isn't. Eric in his group

2322
01:55:46,360 --> 01:55:48,680
Speaker 1: do that do they do? They ask for the players

2323
01:55:48,720 --> 01:55:52,440
Speaker 1: to send back videos of their workouts. How does that work? Well, yeah,

2324
01:55:52,600 --> 01:55:54,960
Speaker 1: you know, not getting too many details, but there's just

2325
01:55:55,160 --> 01:55:56,920
Speaker 1: up and I think it really goes back to our

2326
01:55:57,400 --> 01:55:59,720
Speaker 1: players and the people like it always does with with

2327
01:56:00,000 --> 01:56:04,440
Speaker 1: culture and teams. You know, our players are just the

2328
01:56:04,560 --> 01:56:06,960
Speaker 1: players that Brandon has has done a really good job

2329
01:56:07,040 --> 01:56:09,960
Speaker 1: bringing in. I've done a phenomenal job of of just

2330
01:56:10,600 --> 01:56:15,240
Speaker 1: holding each other accountable and encouraging one another. And you know,

2331
01:56:15,360 --> 01:56:18,680
Speaker 1: this is the important phase where we uh you know,

2332
01:56:18,880 --> 01:56:21,720
Speaker 1: we try and begin to bring our team together. It's

2333
01:56:21,800 --> 01:56:25,520
Speaker 1: really before that, it's it's a collection of individuals from

2334
01:56:25,560 --> 01:56:28,440
Speaker 1: all different parts of the country, and so, um, there's

2335
01:56:28,440 --> 01:56:32,560
Speaker 1: a great bond developing right now. During this part of

2336
01:56:32,600 --> 01:56:36,520
Speaker 1: the off season, was there a thought was it is

2337
01:56:36,560 --> 01:56:39,320
Speaker 1: it just happy coincidence or was there really some serious

2338
01:56:39,400 --> 01:56:42,280
Speaker 1: thought given to you know, trading your number one pick

2339
01:56:42,320 --> 01:56:44,960
Speaker 1: for Steph Diggs, a veteran, and then signing some guys

2340
01:56:45,000 --> 01:56:48,600
Speaker 1: from Carolina, sign an aj Klein from New Orleans, bringing

2341
01:56:48,680 --> 01:56:51,680
Speaker 1: Josh Norman in guys that you have coached before, have

2342
01:56:51,800 --> 01:56:55,760
Speaker 1: been in your system before. H is I know it's

2343
01:56:55,760 --> 01:56:58,400
Speaker 1: going to help in the continuity aspect getting those guys

2344
01:56:58,480 --> 01:57:00,880
Speaker 1: up to speed. But was there was that kind of

2345
01:57:00,960 --> 01:57:04,520
Speaker 1: a plan or was that just happy circumstance. Well, I

2346
01:57:04,600 --> 01:57:06,880
Speaker 1: think a little bit of both. You know, Um, you know,

2347
01:57:07,000 --> 01:57:11,160
Speaker 1: this was unfolding or it started to unfold who knows when.

2348
01:57:11,280 --> 01:57:13,440
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, you know, free

2349
01:57:13,520 --> 01:57:16,880
Speaker 1: agency really kicked off, I think a week or so

2350
01:57:17,080 --> 01:57:20,320
Speaker 1: into the into the situation with the virus, at least

2351
01:57:20,360 --> 01:57:23,920
Speaker 1: at least around Buffalo, and and so we had already

2352
01:57:24,000 --> 01:57:26,080
Speaker 1: targeted some of the players just in terms of in

2353
01:57:26,160 --> 01:57:28,960
Speaker 1: our conversations with who we wanted to go after. But

2354
01:57:29,280 --> 01:57:31,880
Speaker 1: but to your point, I think that that is important.

2355
01:57:32,000 --> 01:57:34,360
Speaker 1: There are players, a number of them who are new

2356
01:57:34,400 --> 01:57:37,520
Speaker 1: to our team, but I'd say fifty percent at a

2357
01:57:37,600 --> 01:57:41,879
Speaker 1: minimum knows some of what we do systematically inst our schemes,

2358
01:57:41,920 --> 01:57:45,440
Speaker 1: and so that that'll be to our advantage again once

2359
01:57:45,560 --> 01:57:47,920
Speaker 1: we once these guys knocked some of the rust off

2360
01:57:48,840 --> 01:57:51,400
Speaker 1: in terms of just being away from it at their

2361
01:57:51,480 --> 01:57:54,560
Speaker 1: previous team got just a minute or two left with

2362
01:57:54,640 --> 01:57:56,640
Speaker 1: head coach on McDermot. And we don't have time for

2363
01:57:56,760 --> 01:57:59,760
Speaker 1: you to go through every draft pick and every free

2364
01:57:59,800 --> 01:58:02,480
Speaker 1: agent and signing coach, but in general, is there kind

2365
01:58:02,520 --> 01:58:05,360
Speaker 1: of a an overview of the additions you've made to

2366
01:58:05,480 --> 01:58:08,160
Speaker 1: your roster and what you think are the important additions

2367
01:58:08,200 --> 01:58:11,400
Speaker 1: and maybe the focus of the additions, whether they be

2368
01:58:11,520 --> 01:58:13,360
Speaker 1: through free agency or the draft, what you were kind

2369
01:58:13,360 --> 01:58:16,600
Speaker 1: of looking to add and whether you succeeded. Well, let

2370
01:58:16,640 --> 01:58:18,920
Speaker 1: me start by saying, I think Brandon, you know, Brandon

2371
01:58:18,960 --> 01:58:22,240
Speaker 1: and his staff did a phenomenal job. You know, it

2372
01:58:22,320 --> 01:58:26,000
Speaker 1: certainly was not normal, uh, the set of circumstances and

2373
01:58:26,080 --> 01:58:29,040
Speaker 1: situation leading up to this year's draft, and you know

2374
01:58:29,080 --> 01:58:31,840
Speaker 1: the way they communicated with the coaches and and the

2375
01:58:31,920 --> 01:58:35,720
Speaker 1: work the coaches put in as well to to help out. Um.

2376
01:58:36,000 --> 01:58:37,959
Speaker 1: You know, I think it was just first rate overall.

2377
01:58:38,080 --> 01:58:41,160
Speaker 1: And um, you know we were able to uh you know,

2378
01:58:41,400 --> 01:58:44,440
Speaker 1: come away with draft picks obviously, you know, we didn't

2379
01:58:44,440 --> 01:58:46,080
Speaker 1: know if we were going to trade up, trade back,

2380
01:58:46,160 --> 01:58:48,120
Speaker 1: and some of that was discussed, and I know Brandon

2381
01:58:48,440 --> 01:58:51,040
Speaker 1: has spoken on on that. But I think when you

2382
01:58:51,120 --> 01:58:54,160
Speaker 1: look at the draft, and as I sat back, uh

2383
01:58:54,480 --> 01:58:58,000
Speaker 1: Saturday night into Sunday, you know, I think at this

2384
01:58:58,200 --> 01:58:59,760
Speaker 1: point you want to be able to say we had

2385
01:58:59,760 --> 01:59:02,840
Speaker 1: a good football players, and um, they may not be.

2386
01:59:03,680 --> 01:59:05,800
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of people that are um

2387
01:59:06,920 --> 01:59:09,720
Speaker 1: talk about you know, the flashy picks and this and

2388
01:59:09,840 --> 01:59:12,400
Speaker 1: that and and I think you know, we won't know

2389
01:59:12,720 --> 01:59:16,280
Speaker 1: on this draft class honestly for for a few years here.

2390
01:59:16,880 --> 01:59:19,800
Speaker 1: Uh that said, you know, I know I can I

2391
01:59:19,960 --> 01:59:22,720
Speaker 1: feel good about and I know the coaches do you

2392
01:59:22,760 --> 01:59:25,800
Speaker 1: know we went after players that we felt like fit us,

2393
01:59:26,440 --> 01:59:29,560
Speaker 1: um off the field and on the field. And when

2394
01:59:29,600 --> 01:59:33,040
Speaker 1: you talk about uh you know aj and and and

2395
01:59:33,160 --> 01:59:35,000
Speaker 1: then you look at his numbers and what he was

2396
01:59:35,040 --> 01:59:39,400
Speaker 1: able to do uh at Iowa. Um, you know you

2397
01:59:39,480 --> 01:59:42,360
Speaker 1: spend time speaking you know, talking with him and and

2398
01:59:42,440 --> 01:59:44,320
Speaker 1: then you go all the way down through the draft picks,

2399
01:59:44,640 --> 01:59:47,360
Speaker 1: you know, and and the receivers, just to mention a

2400
01:59:47,440 --> 01:59:50,400
Speaker 1: couple couple of the draft picks, the receivers. At the

2401
01:59:50,480 --> 01:59:52,360
Speaker 1: end of the day, these guys have caught the ball

2402
01:59:52,920 --> 01:59:55,440
Speaker 1: in their career. And I know it sounds hey, well

2403
01:59:55,440 --> 01:59:57,920
Speaker 1: that's a cop out, Sean receivers should catch the ball

2404
01:59:58,000 --> 02:00:01,760
Speaker 1: well easier said than on Steve, as you know, And

2405
02:00:02,520 --> 02:00:06,680
Speaker 1: sometimes that gets an easy fundamental like that gets overlooked

2406
02:00:06,800 --> 02:00:09,800
Speaker 1: at a position like that when people want forty times

2407
02:00:10,160 --> 02:00:12,840
Speaker 1: forty times, excuse me, and so on and so forth.

2408
02:00:12,880 --> 02:00:14,120
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, you got you catch

2409
02:00:14,200 --> 02:00:15,720
Speaker 1: the football and you got to be able to catch

2410
02:00:15,760 --> 02:00:18,920
Speaker 1: it in a contested, contested environment, which is what happens

2411
02:00:18,920 --> 02:00:21,880
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Yeah, I played wide receiver in the

2412
02:00:22,000 --> 02:00:24,160
Speaker 1: NFL for six years and never caught a ball. So

2413
02:00:24,400 --> 02:00:28,200
Speaker 1: I understand where you're saying, I got, I got. That's

2414
02:00:28,240 --> 02:00:30,520
Speaker 1: not gonna ask you this though. That shut up for

2415
02:00:30,680 --> 02:00:35,080
Speaker 1: I was going this offseason and I know you've had

2416
02:00:35,720 --> 02:00:39,120
Speaker 1: meetings with your players, virtual meetings and stuff. How have

2417
02:00:39,320 --> 02:00:41,520
Speaker 1: you tried to communicate them? And Murph and I had

2418
02:00:41,600 --> 02:00:45,560
Speaker 1: this conversation as well this offseason, more so than any other.

2419
02:00:46,080 --> 02:00:50,040
Speaker 1: It's about how committed your individual players are to being

2420
02:00:50,120 --> 02:00:53,680
Speaker 1: ready when things kick in. How have you communicated that

2421
02:00:53,840 --> 02:00:57,360
Speaker 1: to them and what has been their response? Well, you know,

2422
02:00:57,480 --> 02:01:00,680
Speaker 1: we that's a great question. We sat down probably a

2423
02:01:00,800 --> 02:01:04,160
Speaker 1: week into this and and uh, you know, we put

2424
02:01:04,240 --> 02:01:07,800
Speaker 1: together our our task force on our end and said, hey,

2425
02:01:07,880 --> 02:01:10,880
Speaker 1: this is you know, the way this is headed. Uh,

2426
02:01:11,000 --> 02:01:13,320
Speaker 1: it's going to be a challenge and and and certainly

2427
02:01:13,480 --> 02:01:16,640
Speaker 1: unique to anything I've been around a little bit maybe

2428
02:01:17,440 --> 02:01:20,280
Speaker 1: on the on the surface, Uh, similar to the two

2429
02:01:20,360 --> 02:01:24,960
Speaker 1: thousand and eleven lockout season, of which we have I

2430
02:01:25,080 --> 02:01:27,680
Speaker 1: think six or seven players on our current roster that

2431
02:01:27,800 --> 02:01:30,480
Speaker 1: were a part of that. So there's certainly some experience,

2432
02:01:30,560 --> 02:01:33,160
Speaker 1: some first hand experience there, and we and we tapped

2433
02:01:33,200 --> 02:01:36,920
Speaker 1: into that just uh. And we also tapped into um,

2434
02:01:37,480 --> 02:01:39,680
Speaker 1: you know, some of the coaches that we have on

2435
02:01:39,760 --> 02:01:43,680
Speaker 1: our staff currently, they were players during that lockout season.

2436
02:01:43,720 --> 02:01:46,200
Speaker 1: And so you know, one of the biggest things we

2437
02:01:46,280 --> 02:01:50,800
Speaker 1: came away with was the slogan of finding a way. Right. Hey,

2438
02:01:51,000 --> 02:01:55,840
Speaker 1: there's certainly it's certainly easy during these days and weeks

2439
02:01:56,520 --> 02:01:59,520
Speaker 1: to find all the reasons not to work out, or

2440
02:01:59,560 --> 02:02:03,800
Speaker 1: for all find all the reasons to say why we

2441
02:02:03,920 --> 02:02:07,760
Speaker 1: can't get it done or why a certain uh, you

2442
02:02:07,840 --> 02:02:12,080
Speaker 1: know task can't be accomplished. But let's take the mindset

2443
02:02:12,160 --> 02:02:14,160
Speaker 1: instead of find a way to get it down and

2444
02:02:14,240 --> 02:02:16,000
Speaker 1: find a way. That means, find a way to get

2445
02:02:16,040 --> 02:02:19,960
Speaker 1: your workout in. Find a way to communicate, uh, even

2446
02:02:20,040 --> 02:02:22,000
Speaker 1: though it's hard, even though we're not don't have the

2447
02:02:22,200 --> 02:02:24,600
Speaker 1: you know, accessibility to each other right now in person.

2448
02:02:25,160 --> 02:02:28,080
Speaker 1: And so I think our staff just overall has done

2449
02:02:28,080 --> 02:02:33,040
Speaker 1: a phenomenal job of finding a way. And a big

2450
02:02:33,160 --> 02:02:36,600
Speaker 1: piece of that has been the commitment to over communicate

2451
02:02:36,680 --> 02:02:39,160
Speaker 1: to one another and that and that's been big in

2452
02:02:39,320 --> 02:02:44,720
Speaker 1: terms of, uh, you know, developing clarity around what our

2453
02:02:44,760 --> 02:02:47,240
Speaker 1: short term goals are at this point in the offseason,

2454
02:02:48,400 --> 02:02:53,400
Speaker 1: over community, overcommunicate, coach, right, that's right, over communicate And

2455
02:02:53,560 --> 02:02:55,560
Speaker 1: how does that work? Is that just you know, calling

2456
02:02:55,600 --> 02:02:57,880
Speaker 1: people twice? I mean, what do you have in mind

2457
02:02:57,920 --> 02:03:00,640
Speaker 1: there when you talk about over communicating. I just think

2458
02:03:00,680 --> 02:03:02,760
Speaker 1: it's you know, we've got it, We've got it right now,

2459
02:03:03,000 --> 02:03:05,920
Speaker 1: be very clear on what our expectations are. And if

2460
02:03:06,000 --> 02:03:09,120
Speaker 1: that means um, you know, at the end of the day,

2461
02:03:09,120 --> 02:03:12,080
Speaker 1: it means not assuming people know, right and and so

2462
02:03:13,120 --> 02:03:15,880
Speaker 1: um going above and beyond right now to make sure

2463
02:03:16,000 --> 02:03:19,720
Speaker 1: that whatever the topic is, that we are clear on

2464
02:03:20,720 --> 02:03:23,560
Speaker 1: what it is, why it's important to our success, and

2465
02:03:23,920 --> 02:03:27,880
Speaker 1: then the right way to go about accomplishing the task

2466
02:03:28,040 --> 02:03:30,960
Speaker 1: or the goal. And again I go back to the staff.

2467
02:03:31,040 --> 02:03:33,960
Speaker 1: We've got these you know, kind of subcommittees here on

2468
02:03:34,040 --> 02:03:36,960
Speaker 1: our staff. Call it a task force if you want,

2469
02:03:37,800 --> 02:03:42,640
Speaker 1: um that I've that I've really tried to delegate uh,

2470
02:03:42,880 --> 02:03:47,520
Speaker 1: certain challenges or certain just things that are out there

2471
02:03:47,560 --> 02:03:51,560
Speaker 1: that we have to think through. Uh. And it's a lot, right,

2472
02:03:51,640 --> 02:03:54,320
Speaker 1: and so you know, our staff has done a phenomenal

2473
02:03:54,440 --> 02:03:58,200
Speaker 1: job again of just coming together and finding ways to

2474
02:03:58,560 --> 02:04:00,800
Speaker 1: get things done. I mean you look at the draft,

2475
02:04:00,880 --> 02:04:03,960
Speaker 1: that's certainly one. And the off season program. I mean

2476
02:04:04,000 --> 02:04:08,080
Speaker 1: there were only I believe three or four teams that

2477
02:04:08,320 --> 02:04:11,760
Speaker 1: started when we started, and you know, the NFL gives

2478
02:04:11,760 --> 02:04:15,360
Speaker 1: you an option to start basically a week ago or

2479
02:04:15,440 --> 02:04:17,560
Speaker 1: two weeks ago almost now, and there was only a

2480
02:04:17,600 --> 02:04:21,960
Speaker 1: handful of teams that started when we did with along

2481
02:04:22,040 --> 02:04:24,440
Speaker 1: with us. And so we felt like we you know,

2482
02:04:24,520 --> 02:04:26,920
Speaker 1: we were organized, had our act together, We're ready to go,

2483
02:04:27,120 --> 02:04:30,120
Speaker 1: and you know, we hope that that serves us as

2484
02:04:30,200 --> 02:04:37,000
Speaker 1: we move forward. Sounds like you got a covered coach,

2485
02:04:37,120 --> 02:04:39,480
Speaker 1: thanks very much for joining us today and good luck

2486
02:04:39,640 --> 02:04:42,600
Speaker 1: keep it going well. I appreciate you guys having me on.

2487
02:04:42,720 --> 02:04:45,960
Speaker 1: I hope everyone out there stay safe and healthy. Thanks

2488
02:04:46,000 --> 02:04:49,400
Speaker 1: sehn Than Sean McDermott, head coach of the Buffalo Bills,

2489
02:04:49,440 --> 02:04:51,400
Speaker 1: and it was great to get a drop in call

2490
02:04:51,480 --> 02:04:53,480
Speaker 1: from the coach, Steve. I really like that stuff. At

2491
02:04:53,520 --> 02:04:56,240
Speaker 1: the end, over communicating sounds like a good strategy really

2492
02:04:56,280 --> 02:04:59,520
Speaker 1: for business too, right, don't assume as somebody knows what

2493
02:04:59,640 --> 02:05:01,560
Speaker 1: you want to to do, but make sure you know

2494
02:05:01,960 --> 02:05:03,600
Speaker 1: call them twice if you have to. I think that's

2495
02:05:03,600 --> 02:05:06,040
Speaker 1: a really good idea. And I think for players keeping

2496
02:05:06,560 --> 02:05:09,600
Speaker 1: keeping the coaches informed about what they're doing is huge too.

2497
02:05:09,920 --> 02:05:13,520
Speaker 1: If something happens, don't ever say, you know what, I'll

2498
02:05:13,560 --> 02:05:15,680
Speaker 1: call them tomorrow or I'll let them go tomorrow. You know,

2499
02:05:15,720 --> 02:05:17,440
Speaker 1: you got to call them right when you're thinking about it.

2500
02:05:17,520 --> 02:05:20,360
Speaker 1: And that's always it's always a plus. And you know

2501
02:05:20,480 --> 02:05:22,960
Speaker 1: it's listen, we live in this day and age when

2502
02:05:23,000 --> 02:05:25,360
Speaker 1: you can reach out and touch anybody at any moment,

2503
02:05:25,720 --> 02:05:26,920
Speaker 1: you know, as long as they got their phone in

2504
02:05:26,960 --> 02:05:29,400
Speaker 1: their pocket, which everybody does, and so there's no reason

2505
02:05:29,520 --> 02:05:32,680
Speaker 1: not to, particularly in a in a football environment where

2506
02:05:32,680 --> 02:05:35,840
Speaker 1: you're trying to get some stuff done that's pretty important. Yep.

2507
02:05:36,120 --> 02:05:37,600
Speaker 1: All right to break here and then we're back. One

2508
02:05:37,680 --> 02:05:41,160
Speaker 1: goes Lide presented by Kllaida Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio.

2509
02:05:47,720 --> 02:05:50,480
Speaker 1: John Murphy c Tasker. One goes Lide presented by Kellaida

2510
02:05:50,520 --> 02:05:51,720
Speaker 1: Health and a couple of them in this left here

2511
02:05:51,760 --> 02:05:54,000
Speaker 1: in the show with Sean McDermott just joined us a

2512
02:05:54,080 --> 02:05:56,760
Speaker 1: moment ago, and we talked a lot with Sean about

2513
02:05:57,160 --> 02:06:00,520
Speaker 1: his plans for the offseason conditioning. The rookie program starts

2514
02:06:00,800 --> 02:06:03,200
Speaker 1: not next week, but a week after next Sunday, a

2515
02:06:03,280 --> 02:06:06,120
Speaker 1: week from Sunday's Mother's Day, and they start the Monday

2516
02:06:06,160 --> 02:06:08,440
Speaker 1: after that, which is I got to go back somewhere

2517
02:06:08,480 --> 02:06:10,400
Speaker 1: in my pilots, Steve. I've got a kind of a

2518
02:06:10,520 --> 02:06:12,640
Speaker 1: tentative schedule of what their plans are, but that sounds

2519
02:06:12,640 --> 02:06:14,520
Speaker 1: like the right time they would start, if they will

2520
02:06:14,560 --> 02:06:18,600
Speaker 1: continue with the veteran camp. And I do think it's

2521
02:06:18,640 --> 02:06:20,920
Speaker 1: interesting to note we didn't get a chance to ash

2522
02:06:21,040 --> 02:06:24,240
Speaker 1: On to notice the difference between what he's doing and say,

2523
02:06:24,320 --> 02:06:26,280
Speaker 1: for instance, what the New Orleans Saints are doing, not

2524
02:06:26,400 --> 02:06:28,920
Speaker 1: having any sort offseason program at all. I mean they

2525
02:06:29,200 --> 02:06:31,040
Speaker 1: you wonder if they'll even be talking to their players

2526
02:06:31,160 --> 02:06:33,360
Speaker 1: much at all. Huh, Yeah, it's I don't know how

2527
02:06:33,400 --> 02:06:36,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna, you know, hold the players accountable. I don't

2528
02:06:36,360 --> 02:06:37,640
Speaker 1: know how they're going to go in and you know,

2529
02:06:37,760 --> 02:06:39,920
Speaker 1: make sure the players doing what they're supposed to be doing.

2530
02:06:40,000 --> 02:06:42,720
Speaker 1: And like I asked Sean, and what we you and

2531
02:06:42,800 --> 02:06:45,600
Speaker 1: I have noted together, it's man, it's up to the player.

2532
02:06:46,000 --> 02:06:48,680
Speaker 1: I mean, this is an unusual I mean, not that

2533
02:06:48,880 --> 02:06:51,800
Speaker 1: players aren't always responsible for their getting in shape and

2534
02:06:51,840 --> 02:06:53,920
Speaker 1: that kind of thing, but there's no way to hold

2535
02:06:54,000 --> 02:06:55,840
Speaker 1: them accountable. There's no way to sit them down and

2536
02:06:55,920 --> 02:06:58,440
Speaker 1: get them further along in the xs and ohs than

2537
02:06:58,520 --> 02:07:00,360
Speaker 1: they would that are then they're gonna be able to

2538
02:07:00,440 --> 02:07:05,000
Speaker 1: get through this virtual world. They get them through walkthroughs,

2539
02:07:05,280 --> 02:07:08,320
Speaker 1: They do a ton of stuff that just makes it

2540
02:07:08,440 --> 02:07:12,400
Speaker 1: more smooth once they get on the field, and you

2541
02:07:12,480 --> 02:07:14,800
Speaker 1: know the way it looks now that if you know,

2542
02:07:14,840 --> 02:07:17,680
Speaker 1: they keep pushing this stuff off the OTAs the mini

2543
02:07:17,800 --> 02:07:20,600
Speaker 1: rookie mini camps and all the hands on stuff that

2544
02:07:20,640 --> 02:07:24,440
Speaker 1: the coaches usually get, and if they keep losing that,

2545
02:07:25,000 --> 02:07:26,920
Speaker 1: or if they lose it completely and just start with

2546
02:07:27,000 --> 02:07:30,840
Speaker 1: a training camp. It's gonna be interesting to see them

2547
02:07:30,880 --> 02:07:33,200
Speaker 1: go old school the way it was back when I played.

2548
02:07:33,280 --> 02:07:35,200
Speaker 1: You know, there weren't very many mini camps. You have

2549
02:07:35,360 --> 02:07:37,360
Speaker 1: three days in the offseason of a mini camp and

2550
02:07:37,440 --> 02:07:40,880
Speaker 1: that's it. You know, once you got to training camp,

2551
02:07:40,960 --> 02:07:44,200
Speaker 1: then you kind of went, you know, full immersion kind

2552
02:07:44,240 --> 02:07:46,200
Speaker 1: of mode. And that's what will happen this year with

2553
02:07:46,360 --> 02:07:48,680
Speaker 1: this team. It looks like with all these teams, it's

2554
02:07:48,720 --> 02:07:51,400
Speaker 1: gonna be all hands on deck when they really start

2555
02:07:51,520 --> 02:07:53,840
Speaker 1: going hands on. But until then, I don't know how

2556
02:07:53,920 --> 02:07:56,600
Speaker 1: you keep track of them or hold them accountable. To

2557
02:07:56,760 --> 02:07:59,280
Speaker 1: your point about the onus being on the players, I

2558
02:07:59,400 --> 02:08:02,760
Speaker 1: think back to and I talked about this last week.

2559
02:08:02,960 --> 02:08:04,720
Speaker 1: I mentioned I was talking to a friend of mine

2560
02:08:04,720 --> 02:08:09,000
Speaker 1: who coaches basketball, and he thought Sean Payton's approach was genius.

2561
02:08:09,480 --> 02:08:11,880
Speaker 1: Put the onus on the players, and kind of sounds

2562
02:08:11,920 --> 02:08:14,320
Speaker 1: like that's what Sean McDermot. I mean, he's having practices

2563
02:08:14,360 --> 02:08:16,880
Speaker 1: and workouts, but they really do rely on the players

2564
02:08:16,960 --> 02:08:20,440
Speaker 1: to do their part, and I think it in a way,

2565
02:08:20,600 --> 02:08:22,320
Speaker 1: in a big way, it forces the players to buy

2566
02:08:22,400 --> 02:08:24,120
Speaker 1: into the program. Right, if it's up to you to

2567
02:08:24,240 --> 02:08:26,120
Speaker 1: do it, you better do it or you're gonna be

2568
02:08:26,200 --> 02:08:28,240
Speaker 1: left behind. I think as a message they're probably getting

2569
02:08:28,320 --> 02:08:31,160
Speaker 1: these players. No, I think so, and I think maybe

2570
02:08:31,320 --> 02:08:33,440
Speaker 1: some of it. You know, I would think that Sean

2571
02:08:33,520 --> 02:08:36,360
Speaker 1: McDermott knows he's going to have at least a handful

2572
02:08:36,400 --> 02:08:38,080
Speaker 1: of guys who are going to do everything they can

2573
02:08:38,160 --> 02:08:41,720
Speaker 1: and do it do it over the top right, perhaps

2574
02:08:41,800 --> 02:08:44,200
Speaker 1: even more so than if they were all together. And

2575
02:08:44,360 --> 02:08:47,440
Speaker 1: if the coaching staff can use those guys as an

2576
02:08:47,520 --> 02:08:50,440
Speaker 1: example somehow and show other players what those guys have

2577
02:08:50,560 --> 02:08:53,320
Speaker 1: done and are doing, you know, raise the bar of

2578
02:08:53,800 --> 02:08:56,520
Speaker 1: raised the level of expectation each guy has for himself.

2579
02:08:57,280 --> 02:09:00,240
Speaker 1: It'll raise his own bar for what he does. If

2580
02:09:00,280 --> 02:09:03,640
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott can point to Josh Allen and Tremaine Edmonds

2581
02:09:03,720 --> 02:09:08,040
Speaker 1: and Micah Hyde, you know, Jordan Phillips or not Jordan Phillips,

2582
02:09:08,080 --> 02:09:11,080
Speaker 1: a Harrison Phillips, those guys that you know have that

2583
02:09:11,200 --> 02:09:15,200
Speaker 1: reputation for being grinders. If you can somehow showcase those

2584
02:09:15,280 --> 02:09:17,280
Speaker 1: guys and show the other players or the young players

2585
02:09:17,360 --> 02:09:19,920
Speaker 1: what they're doing, you know, that may raise their level

2586
02:09:19,960 --> 02:09:22,480
Speaker 1: of commitment and raise the bar for them in their

2587
02:09:22,520 --> 02:09:24,360
Speaker 1: own activity level. But I don't know how you'd get

2588
02:09:24,400 --> 02:09:26,560
Speaker 1: that done. And I will say this Steve. You can

2589
02:09:26,600 --> 02:09:29,840
Speaker 1: agree or disagree, but I do think we've mentioned this before.

2590
02:09:29,960 --> 02:09:33,000
Speaker 1: It's an advantage of the players inventor before, and you

2591
02:09:33,040 --> 02:09:35,680
Speaker 1: can't help it. It's nothing against some rookies or the

2592
02:09:35,760 --> 02:09:38,360
Speaker 1: new additions of the roster, but they won't know what

2593
02:09:38,480 --> 02:09:40,360
Speaker 1: the standard is. They may not know what the offense

2594
02:09:40,480 --> 02:09:42,760
Speaker 1: or defense is. But the guys who were here last

2595
02:09:42,840 --> 02:09:45,280
Speaker 1: year or the year before that, for example, well I

2596
02:09:45,280 --> 02:09:49,040
Speaker 1: haven't edged Jordan. New guys right, absolutely a big edge,

2597
02:09:49,080 --> 02:09:51,880
Speaker 1: a bigger edge than usual. They always have. And I've

2598
02:09:51,920 --> 02:09:53,640
Speaker 1: said that, I said this back when I was playing.

2599
02:09:53,760 --> 02:09:57,520
Speaker 1: It is much easier, much easier to stay in the

2600
02:09:57,720 --> 02:10:01,400
Speaker 1: NFL than it is to get into the NFL. Once

2601
02:10:01,480 --> 02:10:05,160
Speaker 1: you've been in and understand the nuances and you know,

2602
02:10:05,280 --> 02:10:09,400
Speaker 1: understand what's really important, you don't waste energy on stuff

2603
02:10:09,440 --> 02:10:11,560
Speaker 1: that's not important. And as a rookie you come in

2604
02:10:11,640 --> 02:10:14,600
Speaker 1: and you're worried about all this stuff. You know, all

2605
02:10:14,640 --> 02:10:20,680
Speaker 1: the stuff that really is is peripheral stuff. Right, So

2606
02:10:21,040 --> 02:10:24,280
Speaker 1: once you get sort through the and set your priorities

2607
02:10:24,320 --> 02:10:26,320
Speaker 1: to the right levels and get it get it going,

2608
02:10:26,600 --> 02:10:29,480
Speaker 1: then you can focus your energies better. But as a rookie,

2609
02:10:29,520 --> 02:10:31,760
Speaker 1: You're all over the place and you're worried about all

2610
02:10:31,760 --> 02:10:33,840
Speaker 1: the other kinds of stuff that really has no place.

2611
02:10:33,880 --> 02:10:35,280
Speaker 1: It's not going to help you make the team, and

2612
02:10:35,360 --> 02:10:37,480
Speaker 1: it's a waste of energy. We're back in a moment

2613
02:10:37,520 --> 02:10:40,680
Speaker 1: one side presented by Klata Health. This is Buffalo Bill's

2614
02:10:40,760 --> 02:10:55,800
Speaker 1: Radio Brocky by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental company

2615
02:10:55,840 --> 02:10:58,920
Speaker 1: in the Buffalo Bills. We had Bill's rookie draft pick,

2616
02:10:59,000 --> 02:11:01,400
Speaker 1: Tyler Bass, to kick on the line of the today

2617
02:11:01,400 --> 02:11:03,520
Speaker 1: and he talked about his experience at the Super Bowl

2618
02:11:03,600 --> 02:11:05,800
Speaker 1: at the end of January. Here he is, I think

2619
02:11:05,920 --> 02:11:07,640
Speaker 1: going in, you know, I feel like I still had

2620
02:11:07,680 --> 02:11:09,800
Speaker 1: a lot to prove, coming from George Southern, Um, I

2621
02:11:09,880 --> 02:11:12,560
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, I was ready to go compete

2622
02:11:12,600 --> 02:11:14,320
Speaker 1: against the best, and that's where the Senior Bowl is.

2623
02:11:14,360 --> 02:11:17,520
Speaker 1: And I had a great time and Jim Naggy and

2624
02:11:17,560 --> 02:11:19,600
Speaker 1: the whole Senior Bowl staff. Really it was just an

2625
02:11:19,680 --> 02:11:24,000
Speaker 1: unbelievable experience. And uh, fortunately enough, I had some you know,

2626
02:11:24,120 --> 02:11:27,000
Speaker 1: good players around me. I had Brydon who was our

2627
02:11:27,080 --> 02:11:28,640
Speaker 1: punner and hold it for me, and then we had

2628
02:11:28,640 --> 02:11:31,600
Speaker 1: a long supper and Stephen Wertle and we just hit

2629
02:11:31,640 --> 02:11:33,640
Speaker 1: it off and cried, had a great week and then

2630
02:11:33,960 --> 02:11:36,120
Speaker 1: ended up at the Senior Bowl game. Actually went two

2631
02:11:36,200 --> 02:11:39,280
Speaker 1: for two, one from forty, one from fifty and I

2632
02:11:39,360 --> 02:11:41,440
Speaker 1: went fourth and fourth for extra points, and you know,

2633
02:11:41,480 --> 02:11:44,200
Speaker 1: it was just unbelievable. I'm super thankful just to get

2634
02:11:44,280 --> 02:11:46,960
Speaker 1: that invite, and you know, I'm just I'm really, uh,

2635
02:11:47,440 --> 02:11:49,360
Speaker 1: you know, proud of how it went. And I just

2636
02:11:49,600 --> 02:11:51,480
Speaker 1: took that and I just carried it over to the

2637
02:11:51,640 --> 02:11:55,000
Speaker 1: combine and stuff. Also on the show today, Ken Jones

2638
02:11:55,040 --> 02:11:57,960
Speaker 1: from NFL Network. She talked about last week's draft and

2639
02:11:58,120 --> 02:12:00,440
Speaker 1: how real it was for the viewers. He was Jones,

2640
02:12:01,520 --> 02:12:05,960
Speaker 1: we really liked that window into the general manager's life.

2641
02:12:06,000 --> 02:12:08,120
Speaker 1: It was a small window, but it was a window

2642
02:12:08,120 --> 02:12:10,640
Speaker 1: where you saw him interact with his kids. You saw

2643
02:12:11,160 --> 02:12:15,960
Speaker 1: families in real time with real reactions on real living

2644
02:12:16,040 --> 02:12:19,840
Speaker 1: room sofas, in real clothes that they wear on a

2645
02:12:19,920 --> 02:12:25,080
Speaker 1: regular basis, you know, react to their son, brother, nephew, whatever,

2646
02:12:25,120 --> 02:12:27,720
Speaker 1: the kid, grandson, whatever the case was being drafted. Like

2647
02:12:28,240 --> 02:12:31,200
Speaker 1: I think, and I give us as a viewing public

2648
02:12:31,280 --> 02:12:34,920
Speaker 1: credit for this. I think we like real right now,

2649
02:12:35,360 --> 02:12:38,560
Speaker 1: and that was as real as it gets. She's right,

2650
02:12:38,640 --> 02:12:40,720
Speaker 1: it was real. Steve. Today's show was real. We had

2651
02:12:40,720 --> 02:12:42,680
Speaker 1: a couple of hiccups along the way, but it was

2652
02:12:42,760 --> 02:12:45,000
Speaker 1: kind of real today, don't you agree? Kind of real,

2653
02:12:47,760 --> 02:12:50,320
Speaker 1: kind of real. My mic stopped work. I did not

2654
02:12:50,480 --> 02:12:52,880
Speaker 1: mute my mic, It just stopped working. Merph is not

2655
02:12:53,040 --> 02:12:56,040
Speaker 1: my fault. Okay, I won't I won't call it. I

2656
02:12:56,120 --> 02:12:58,760
Speaker 1: won't call you out on it. Tomorrow we got a

2657
