00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: it's a pint. Yeah it's a pint, like yeah quarter

26
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Okay, so you know you're

27
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: on autopilot right on the morning. So I get out

28
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: and I pour that in and then I get a

29
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: call from a buddy of mine. We had a thing

30
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: we got to talk about. I got a golf date.

31
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get in tomorrow. And then I got

32
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: up and I did a couple of things with the dogs,

33
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: put them out and all that, so you know, I

34
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: kind of get run around. Then I got another call,

35
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: and then I had some stuff I wanted to do

36
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: with the yard, you know, before it got rainy. So

37
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: so I forgot about the cream So you'd think, yeah,

38
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: I get a little slack, right, Yeah it was out,

39
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: what maybe it was out for half an hour? Right,

40
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: but you know, I get a text and you know

41
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: the picture of the creamer. So you know, if I apologize, hon,

42
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: I got sorry. I got to distract. If I would

43
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: have been in there the creamer would have stayed out anyway,

44
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: and I'd have been still putting it in a second

45
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: or third cup of coffee, you know how I am yea.

46
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: And but so you are like that that does mean

47
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: something to you, right, yeah? And you and your wife,

48
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: and I love Sarah. But that's kind of passive aggressive, right,

49
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: It's like, I'm not gonna yell at you for leaving

50
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: the creamer out, but I'm gonna point it out to

51
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: you and make sure you know you screw it up exactly.

52
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,119
Speaker 1: So how do you react to that? Do you throw

53
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: yourself on your sword? How like you've been married? You've

54
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: been married long as I am me too. You know

55
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: you know how you react to it? You ignore it?

56
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: You move on? No, I said no, I didn't. I

57
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: was walking when I next I said that, honey, up,

58
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: I kind of overapologize, Honey, I'm so sorry. I had

59
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: that screamer out and I got a call here, and

60
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: I just, you know, gave the same explain I just

61
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: gave you, And I said, I, you know, I just

62
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 1: I should have put it away. I'm sorry. Sure, Yeah,

63
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: what can she say to that? Then? No? Right? That's

64
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: that smooths it all over, right, so now it can

65
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: be pushed under the rug. Yeah, I think I'll never

66
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: hear about it again. No, No, you probably won't, but

67
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: you well you might because there's gonna be something, right,

68
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: there's something else coming down the line. Either one of

69
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: us can think of it, and that'll be brought up

70
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: again because you will do something again similarity about something else,

71
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: just like you left that creamer out last week. Right,

72
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: that's gonna go. That goes into a bucket that gets

73
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: dumped on your head right when the next time? Right,

74
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: and then it's no longer passive aggressive. It's just aggressive

75
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: at that point, right, But it's still ammo. Right, you

76
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: want my sounds like you're looking for advice. This is

77
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: a result of being quarantined at home for two months

78
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: now with your wife, don't you think. See I'd like

79
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: to chalk it up to that, But now I'm getting

80
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: get the bucket out and dump it over her it.

81
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I kind of get that, you know,

82
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: it's kind of a thing. Yeah, this isn't just a

83
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,839
Speaker 1: quarantine thing. I think she's sick of you, and you're

84
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm not sick of her. Oh, you don't have to

85
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: admit it on the radio. But I know I'm not. No,

86
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: I really am not. She's great. She's you know, she's been.

87
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you she's been. She's past this quarantine

88
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: with flying color. She's making cookie and I told you know,

89
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: you see me on the air. Here, I'm eating all

90
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: these homemade soups. She's cooking big meals for me and

91
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: our youngest son. Here in the house. She's babysitting for

92
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: the grandkids. She's doing great. Because when yeah, so I'm

93
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: now I'm starting to feel like maybe maybe I am

94
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: kind of a zero. You are who you are. You're

95
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: not zero. You're not a zero, but you're probably plus eighty.

96
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: I'm not not in the ninetieth percentile. No, No, you

97
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: are who you are. I just think, you know, everybody's

98
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: tired of this routine, right, you're kind of keeping an

99
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: eyeing at each other. Everybody's like, I saw you did that.

100
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: I won't mention it now, but maybe i'll mention it later. Yeah,

101
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: maybe I'll tell you this, though. Everything changes. If when

102
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: the weather gets it's really it's really warm here. Today

103
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: it's been it's been chilly and rainy. Now it's warm

104
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: and supposed to be rainy today, really it's like it was.

105
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: I got out the doors and windows open and so

106
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: too right, I was, yeah the last because a rainer.

107
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, is it warm today. It's supposed

108
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: to be thunderstorms, like within the hour. I think, before

109
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: you know, one o'clock, we'll find out. I think one

110
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: of those days when we can hear the rain on

111
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: the outside of the studio if we were doing TV. Look,

112
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: we're at our homes again today. Sorry to mention that,

113
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: but we are not bragging, but we are. And it's

114
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: been two months and we'd prefer to be at work.

115
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: We prefer to be on TV. But I think we're

116
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: gonna be at home for a little while longer. By

117
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: the way, and I told you I think it was

118
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 1: last week. Eventually, when the weather clears, I plan on

119
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: doing my show by part of the show from outside.

120
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: I'm looking right now where else set up. It'll be

121
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: part seriously, yeah, right out right out back here on

122
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: the little patio. It'll be. We're not gonna get like

123
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: bird noises. You probably will. Well you hear you know,

124
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 1: forks clanging in the background here. Of course you're going

125
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: I teach you. I text you the other day. It's

126
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: sounded like Mary was changing a tire. In the backgrounds

127
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: he's rebuilding the transmiss I asked her to replace it

128
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: transmission in my car. No, but I'm on the other

129
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: side of the kitchen here you can hear stuff. But

130
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: when I go outside, maybe next week even um, yeah,

131
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: I think you'll hear a lot more, you know. I

132
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,239
Speaker 1: think it'll be cool to hear birds in the background.

133
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: I have deer that run by here. I'm too high

134
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: powered mic And if you turn up they call it,

135
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: I guess it's called I think I got this right.

136
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: It's called the gain. Where if I've got the gain

137
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: like almost all the way down, right, So if I

138
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: turn it up, you can kind of hear the ambiance

139
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: of the room. You see how that works, where you

140
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: can hear me sitting in this kind of hollow room.

141
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: Now you turn it back down and it takes that

142
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: echo away, right, So if I go outside and turn

143
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: this thing on that gain all the way up, you'll

144
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: be able to hear traffic noise from you know, two

145
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: hundred yards away. That'll be kind of I could you know.

146
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: Then again, that's a bad idea for me. I don't know.

147
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: I got too much going on at the house. I'll

148
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: be grandkids hooting around and stuff. I'll trying. I think

149
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: I might try it. We gotta try better weather here, right,

150
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna Can you imagine doing radio and sunglasses be awesome? Well,

151
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if I need I'll put the little

152
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,640

00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: he's got. I love the guy. He's the best. And

207
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: he was a really, really truly great player on special teams.

208
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: He's really great. He was a trend setter. I mean,

209
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: the guy was great. But he's got that kind of

210
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: like the ww E voice, right Really, he comes across

211
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: like a professional wrestler. On the radio, he's he's a

212
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: lot of fun. He's got some of the great, the

213
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: great one liners of all time. He's just great. You'll

215
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: of fun. But I gotta tell you the one I

216
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: gotta remember that. People will something happened and the Cardinals

217
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: did something and one of the cards made a phenomenal play,

218
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: right and Wolf's analysis was, wait, let me do it

219
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: with a straight face. He goes, you just take your

220
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: eyes out, and he just gouge your eyes out right now,

221
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 1: because you'll never see it any better done, any better

222
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: than that. Right there, I'm like, what's your eyes out?

223
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: To throw them away? Because you'll never see it done

224
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: any better than that. I was like, that's some analysis

225
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: right there. He's the best, and h and a Buffalo guy.

226
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: I've I've seen him a number of times here in Buffalo,

227
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: and and obviously he's home. He was, you know, we're

228
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,880

232
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: and I've been on that show and I've talked to him.

233
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: Actually we were when the Bills spent the week in

234
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: Arizona before they played the Cardinals a couple of years ago,

235
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: after they played the nine Ers. We did our show

Speaker 1: right in their studio and the Dug and Wolf show. Yeah,

237
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,360

241
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: and the suburbs of Phoenix. I'll have to ask him.

242
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,520

248
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: and we're down to the Arizona Cardinals. Now, we did

251
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: Bills due play the Cardinals. As you know this season, Um,

252
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: let me find the date on that. It's fairly early

253
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: in the season, isn't it. Yeah, it's week No, it's not.

254
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: It's not no item yeah, no out there and it's

255
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: a four or five game. Yeah. Yeah. You think Arizona

256
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: and we'll ask Wolf this too. You think at Arizona.

257
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: Cardinals are kind of where the Bills were, where they're

258
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: gonna go. They feel like they're gonna go as far

259
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: as Kyler Murray takes them. And we feel the same

260
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: way about Josh Allen. It's gotta be right a little bit. Well, yeah,

261
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: and they made They've had a big offseason. I'll tell

262
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: you here's my let me tell you my impression of

263
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, and a lot of it goes back to

264
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: the week we spent in Carolina, right South Carolina, then

265
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: Charlotte for a couple of days. And we were in Charlotte,

266
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 1: North Carolina two nights before the Bills played the Panthers

267
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: in Week two of the preseason last year, I think

268
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: it was, and the Arizona Cardinals were on TV. Cliff

269
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: Kingsbury the new head coach, Kyler Murdy the new quarterback,

270
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: and they were brutal that night. Remember that game. It

271
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: was a weeknight game. There were no other preseason games

272
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: on TV, and I watched them and they were brutal.

273
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: They were awful. They couldn't even Kyler Murray kept getting

274
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: penalties for you know, illegal snaps and fall starts because

275
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: he wasn't falling to Caden's right. And I remember watching

276
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: it and thinking to myself, oh man, the Cardinals are

277
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: gonna be bad. Well, they weren't bad. They turned out

278
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: to be pretty good, thanks to kings Murray and his

279
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: offensive approach, and thank the Kyler Murray and and thank

280
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: you because you know, thanks to uh Larry Fitzgerald, one

281
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: of the great players in our lifetime in the NFL.

282
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: Now now, of course they've added DeAndre Hopkins to that mix.

283
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: They've had a good draft, and I think the Cardinals

284
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: and it's a very tough division, the NFC West, but

285
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: the Cardinals all have something to say about who wins

286
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: that division. Who you think Steve I do, and they're

287
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: gonna be fun to watch, I think as well. But

288
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: it's an interesting point you make. How bad Kyler Murray

289
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 1: looked in the preseason of his rookie year. You'll go

290
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: back and you know, and I remember thinking way back

291
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, well, and I was a kid.

292
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 1: What am I talking about? I was in my early twenties,

293
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: John Elway's rookie season. I was at Northwestern University. I

294
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: watched John Elway. He gets drafted by the Colts, traded

295
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: to Denver, and he comes in and gets in his

296
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: rookie year and he was horrible. He was horrible, didn't

297
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: know what he was doing, didn't know he looked and

298
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: you know, of course, then the guy goes to five

299
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowls, wins two of them, is in the Hall

300
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: of Fame, and now he's running the Broncos. Right, so

301
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: you never know how how far these guys can go.

302
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: It's really it was, it's really a lesson to learn

303
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: on a kid like Kyler Murray, who didn't even huddle

304
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: up in college, right. I mean, here's a guy who's

305
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: calling the plays. The line didn't do it. He He had

306
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: to learn the whole preplay ritual in the NFL. You

307
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: gotta get in the huddle, call a play, walk out,

308
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: look at the defense, make some adjustments, put the guy

309
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: in motion, do all this stuff. Never had to do

310
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: that in college, and it took him a while to

311
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: get a handle on that. It sounds that it it

312
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: looks so easy because we've all seen it so much.

313
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: It's not easy, and there are reasons for all the

314
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: stuff going on, and the quarterback not only has to

315
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: get the stuff done, he also has to know the

316
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: reason for it. Takes a while, particularly if you've never

317
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: been trained in that. And these guys are, you know,

318
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: good football players, great athletes, but that's schoolwork almost that

319
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: you gotta get under your belt, and it's it takes

320
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: a while. It takes a while for these guys. Yeah,

321
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: it took him a while, but by the end of

322
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: his rookie year he was a pretty good player. We'll

323
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: talk about the Cardinals with Ron Wolfley coming up at

324
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: two o'clock today. In the meantime, one thing I wanted

325
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: to before we talk more about today show, and this

326
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: is the Bills things. Yesterday we had a guest on

327
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: the show, Bert Wigham, who is running a little workout

328
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: camp with three Bills rookies and two Bills quarterbacks, Josh

329
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: Allen and Mat Parkley out in southern California, and something

330
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: he said about Josh Allen struck a chord. You can

331
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: tell find the responses we got on Twitter and the

332
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: retweets and people were impressed. I was impressed when I

333
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: heard it. But Josh Allen not only you know, he

334
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: spends a lot of time in southern California getting timing

335
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: down with working out with his guy helped me out here, Palmer,

336
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: Jordan Palmer. Yeah, and now he's working with those three

337
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: rookies that that Bert Wingham brought, Wigham brought out there,

338
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: and now he's planning on going to Florida to work

339
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: with Stefan Diggs and John Brown. And I mentioned yesterday,

340
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: I was impressed by the commitment to building up passing

341
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: game time that is evident from Josh Allen by doing

342
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: all that, and that was kind of repeated over and

343
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: over and over again. On Twitter. I think, uh, look,

344
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: I think Josh had made a good impression, really good

345
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: impression on Bill's fans with his commitment to Uh. I'm

346
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: trying to find a tweet that came in and it

347
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: sort of hit me. Somebody said, boy, have you ever

348
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: rooted for a guy to be successful more than you

349
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: rooted for Josh Allen, let's say, in recent Bill's history?

350
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: And I thought, he's right. He's right, Josh, so many

351
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: things like this of his own volition, takes him under

352
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: his own. Um, you know, he does it. He just

353
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: does it, and he doesn't look for credit or anything.

354
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: I think it's impressive. And I think Bill's fans love that,

355
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: and they do. They do root for him because he

356
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: works so hard at it. What do you think of that, Steve? Yeah,

357
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: And that's the thing. You see how hard he's working.

358
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: You see what a great attitude he's had. You see

359
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 1: him doing a lot of things on his own, on

360
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: his own dime, you know, traveling around working with these

361
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,959
Speaker 1: guys reaching out to him. He's shown great leadership and

362
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: also taking ownership of uh, bad games, bad plays. After

363
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: the game, he'll come on and stand there at the

364
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: podium and take bullets for what he you know, for

365
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 1: the bad plays he made and all that. You just, uh,

366
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 1: you see a guy who certainly has a ways to

367
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: go as a quarterback, but who is making strides and

368
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: working really hard to get there. That's yeah. How can

369
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: you not root for a guy like that, right, I mean,

370
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: you've got so much, so much many guys who are

371
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: the antithesis of that, guys who who disappear in the

372
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: offseason you never see him. And certainly it helps that

373
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: Josh he's got people, you know, speaking up for him.

374
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: But guys like Gabriel Davis, Isaiah Hodgins, Zach Moss, those

375
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: guys don't They didn't know, you know, they didn't know

376
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: h Allen from Adam until he reached out to him

377
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 1: and said, hey, let's get together. This is how it's

378
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: gonna work. And man oh man, an example it must

379
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,719
Speaker 1: have set. And of course with the veterans John John

380
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: Brown and Steph Diggs. Man oh Man, it just makes

381
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: your root for the guy and also not for nothing. Murph.

382
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: The thing that gets me is, gosh, I can't wait

383
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: to see if it helps. And I want to see

384
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: I want to see the results all that hard work,

385
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 1: because I hear him was working. You hear it from

386
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 1: Jordan Palmer, we heard it yesterday from Bert Wigham, We

387
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: hear it from these rookie guys, and I just want

388
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 1: to see the results of it. That's That's what I'm

389
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: excited for. Yeah. Again, it's just the way he impresses

390
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: Bill's fans so much, about the work he puts in

391
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: beyond what he has to do. Really, and I know

392
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 1: most quarterbacks will do that, but I think Josh has

393
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: set a new standard for leadership for this team and

394
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: for for working at it and making sure. You know,

395
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: a week ago, week and a half ago, Sean mcderham

396
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: was saying, the one thing we miss um not having

397
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: the workouts this time of year is timing in the

398
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: passing game. Well, Josh Ellen's trying to take care of that,

399
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: spending time with rookies in southern California and then coming

400
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: east to Florida soon to work with John Brown and

401
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: the Stefan Dick's another tweet that came in yesterday Thomas

402
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: Pastory say what you want on him, but he will

403
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: never fail for lack of effort. That's a pretty good

404
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: thing to say about anybody, but it's a really good

405
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: thing to hear about your starting quarterback that you'll never

406
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: fault him for lack of effort. I really believe that, Steve.

407
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: That's right, um, and that's you know, it's it's hard

408
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: to Uh. I don't know. It's it's hard to find

409
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: fault with a guy like that. It's it's a great

410
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: it's a great thing to say. And that's what we see.

411
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: And that's why you cheer for the guy. Um, I

412
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: don't know. I I just for me. I'm with you, Murph,

413
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 1: And you know you really cheer for the guy. You

414
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: hear all this stuff about what he's doing. We saw

415
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: big games last year. In his game, he raised his

416
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: completion percentage, he was just better in the pocket. He

417
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: lost his long Bowl last year. Now he's working on that. Wow,

418
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: you know what's gonna not for nothing? But it wouldn't

419
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: it be great an opening day if the fans were there,

420
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: the stadium was full, You're playing the Jets. Right out

421
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: of the box, he hits you know, it hits an

422
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: eighty five yard bomb, right. It just gets the season

423
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: off to a big kick, right. Um, it would be great. Um,

424
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: And you know, just make a statement in that Jet game,

425
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: hit about three or four long shots, you know, plus

426
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: complete sixty five percent of his passes. I hear, You're right, Yeah,

427
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: I mean we'd be drunk for a week, you know, celebrating.

428
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I'm just it'd be great, but

429
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: that's where we're at. Uh, just like in this in

430
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: this in the isolation, we're just waiting, waiting it out

431
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: to see the results of what's going to happen next

432
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 1: for the team. And Josh right, no news today from

433
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,959
Speaker 1: really the Bills, no news really from the NFL. Today's

434
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: to day. The teams are supposed to communicate to the

435
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: league their plans for reopening facilities to staff. They're not ready.

436
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: Nobody's ready to open up for players or coaches, and

437
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: the Bills kind of putting that plan together and nothing

438
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: to report. Our Twitter poll today deals with the offense.

439
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo offense and Josh Allen. We think they're gonna get

440
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: better and there's room for improvement, no question about that

441
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: average nineteen points per game last year. They got to

442
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: get better to win the division as many expect them

443
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: to do and win the double digit games. What's the

444
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: best way for the Bills offense to take the next

445
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: step this upcoming season? What do you think? And there's

446
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 1: all of us obviously it would be great, but what's

447
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: primarily the number one thing you think would be the

448
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: best step to take for the Bills offensively is it

449
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 1: johsh Shallen begins to hit more often on the deep ball.

450
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 1: We talk with Jordan Palmer about it at the combine

451
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: back in late February. How much they're working on at

452
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: all the mechanics of hitting deep balls. Is that the

453
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: best way the Bills offense can take the next step?

454
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 1: Is it a balanced attack run versus pass. The Bills

455
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: were heavily weighted towards the run last year. Maybe they

456
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: need to throw a little bit more this year. Maybe

457
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: that's what you think. Is it creating play calling? This

458
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: is an option that rankles Steve Tasker. I'm sure because

459
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: and actually I don't know if I'm rankled, but I

460
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: would I don't know that I don't find fault in

461
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: the play calling, and I know that will put us

462
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: probably into minority seed. But I think they do find

463
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: play calling. I think it's pretty dumb creative as a

464
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: matter of fact, don't you? Oh yeah, you look at

465
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: the games last year, the either reverse pass in the

466
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: DA Dallas game. You see the end of rounds and

467
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 1: all that, And I think there's something too that one

468
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,479
Speaker 1: of the and I'll tell you this, I'll say this,

469
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm exaggerating too much. Brian dables creativity

470
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: is only limited by what he believes Josh and the

471
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 1: offense is going to handle, plus having a place to

472
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 1: run it. I think they were limited a little bit

473
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: by the their interior offensive line in their ability to

474
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: get out and run a little bit. That's one of

475
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: the reasons we didn't see very many screen screen passes

476
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: last year. And then you've get people who just who

477
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: don't know exactly what they're looking at when they think

478
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: they shouldn't have done that. Well, for instance, you remember

479
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: the play um when Josh tried to hit DeMarco down

480
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: the sideline in that game. I can't even remember the

481
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: play and people were just livid that Brian Daball had

482
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: sean Pat DeMarco going down the side. Was it the

483
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh game, I don't know. It's a game I think

484
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: as a game we lost, because I remember the you

485
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: don't ever hear criticism when they win, so it must

486
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: have been a game with I think would maybe as

487
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: a Patriots game or something. I don't know, one of

488
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 1: the Patriots games where Josh got a little pressure and

489
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: threw it to Pat DeMarco going down the sidelines and

490
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: the people are going nuts over that how Brian Dable

491
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: could call a play where Pat DeMarco is gonna get

492
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,719
Speaker 1: the ball and the simple fact of the matter is

493
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: he didn't. And one of the things that all coordinators

494
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: do is they get the defenses defend to defend a

495
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: player that you're not gonna throw the football too. That's

496
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: an exact example of that. You send Pat DeMarco down

497
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: the sidelines on a deep pass. Well, of course you're

498
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 1: not gonna throw it to Pat demark that's not the

499
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: design of the play, but the defense doesn't know that

500
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: and they end up on that play. Pat de Marco's

501
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: got two of the best defenders on their opponent covering him. Well,

502
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 1: somebody else got to win, and whether they did or not,

503
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: Josh didn't throw him the football. So you know, you

504
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: can't blame the offensive coordinator for all that stuff going

505
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: off the rails where either a guide away from Pat

506
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: DeMarco didn't get open, or Josh through it to Pat

507
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: DeMarco because he panicked a little bit, or Josh panicked

508
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: a little bit because he got pressure a little too

509
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: quick because the offensive line didn't protect well enough. All

510
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: of that stuff goes into the mix and if you're

511
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: gonna blame the offensive coordinator for all of that. You know,

512
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: come on, You're you're missing the point, you know, Yeah,

513
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: you gotta put that on the players. You know, if

514
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: the guard makes his block, Josh doesn't panic, looks off,

515
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: and somebody is open on the backside, he does hit

516
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 1: his first or second choice, his first or second option.

517
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: That DeMarco was not his first, second and probably not

518
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 1: even his third option on that play. You know, but

519
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: Josh jack set up to him because he panics a

520
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: little bit because of the pressure. All that stuff gets

521
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: dumped on Brian day Ball the next day because oh,

522
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: it's a terrible play call. Well, the play call wasn't

523
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: the problem. You know, There's about four or five other

524
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: things that are in the mix there. So that's why,

525
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 1: you know, when we talk about you know, offensive creativity

526
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: and play calling, I get it, and there are times

527
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: when it's right. But man, oh man, think about what

528
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: you're saying before you just blindly say, oh, that should

529
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: have been called another play. Well, when a play doesn't work,

530
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: it doesn't necessarily mean it was the wrong play might

531
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: have been the perfect play, right that that played The

532
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: DeMarco pass happened in the Texans game in the playoff game, right,

533
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: I do remember that? Now? Yeah, you might be right, Yeah,

534
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: you know I'm on both. Said, well, I'm going to

535
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: read you the results of the Twitter posts will found

536
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: in a minute. Other is only getting one percent of

537
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: the votes, and I'm tempted. I'm tempted to vote for

538
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 1: other if we can't vote in the Twitter poll. It's

539
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: a law, you know. It's just like we can't come

540
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: up surprize money from the station or anything. But I'm

541
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 1: tending to go it is. It's like having to wear

542
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: a mask in public if you don't. I'm tending to

543
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: know other. And you know, the question, what's the best

544
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: way for the Buffalo offensive taking next step? Maybe the

545
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: answer is maybe it's just continuity, the fact that it

546
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 1: is the same offensive coordinator. It is going to be

547
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: essentially the same offensive line, same quarterback, Two of the

548
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,479
Speaker 1: three top receivers will be the same, The tight end

549
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 1: group is the same, the run you know what I mean,

550
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 1: Everybody basically is coming back with a few key additions.

551
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the key for the Buffalo offense taking the

552
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: next step. I'm tempted to say Other herest I get you.

553
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: It's a point well made. And here's the thing as

554
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: well that when you when you think about, say, hey,

555
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: Josh Hollen hits the deep ball, is that because I mean,

556
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 1: we're taking some other stuff for granted, certainly we think

557
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary is gonna play better. You think Zach Moss

558
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: is gonna help, and the offensive line is gonna play

559
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: even better than it did a year ago. The defense

560
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: is going to continue to play well. So you get

561
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: kind of get all these things as well. If everything

562
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: else is the same. The deep ball is what they

563
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: missed last year. That's what we need to do. If

564
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: we hit the deep ball, everything's gonna get better and

565
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: all those other pieces will will still be in place.

566
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 1: That's kind of where we're at here. When you when

567
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 1: you make choices like this, a balance attack, run pass, well,

568
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: that's kind of a given for every team, right If

569
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: you can balance run pass, you can throw when you

570
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: want to, run when you want to, and run it

571
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: even when they know you're gonna run it, throw it

572
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: even when they know you're gonna throw it, and be

573
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 1: successful both ways. You know that, you know that's kind

574
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: of a given in that scenario. So yeah, I think

575
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: the thing that we missed last year was the deep ball,

576
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: and if everything else is the same, I think the

577
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: team does win an extra couple of games from a

578
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: from a ten win season last year, you know what

579
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So then you are sitting right where you

580
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: want to be. You are a one, two, maybe a

581
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 1: three seed in the AFC, and that'd be right, that'd

582
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,959
Speaker 1: be awesome, you know. And so yeah, that I can

583
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: see why people any one center the people are saying

584
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: I hit the deep ball. Everything else is going to

585
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: take care of itself. And I get that. That's kind

586
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: of our wheelhouse where we were for the last six

587
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: or eight months, and I don't know, So there's a

588
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: place in there for other as well. I mean, there's

589
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: we all kind of you and I Murph. We chew

590
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills up all the time and digest them

591
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,959
Speaker 1: pretty well. So we've we've chewed all these topics at

592
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: one time or another, so I can make it a

593
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: argument for every one of them. Let's give you the rundown.

594
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: There's three hundred and thirty five votes in so far

595
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: in the Twitter poll, and the question what's the best

596
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 1: way for the Bills offense to take the next step

597
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: and Steve said, seventy one percent say johns Allen starts

598
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: to hit in the deep ball. Okay, that would be big.

599
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: Twenty one percent say there's a balanced attack, run versus

600
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: pass more balance, seven percent say created play calling. Just

601
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: one percent have something else in mine. Let's hear from you.

602
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: You can vote into twitter poll that one Bills Live.

603
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: You can send in something for our tweet sheet. We'll

604
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: get to those in a minute or two. Or you

605
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,040

Speaker 1: five fifty Got Carl on the line from the Village

645
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: of Sloane. Hello, Carl, you around the air, Hi top.

646
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: I just did the twenty poll myself. I actually voted

647
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: the other kind of like you guys, But my thing was,

648
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: I think it's more the Bills have to be more

649
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: consistent in their production on offense more than anything. Um,

650
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's there were games where you know, the

651
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: offense was hitting on all cylinders right out of the gate,

652
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: but then the games like the first game against Miami

653
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: where it just looked like they weren't going to get

654
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: anything done until the second half when when Josh brought

655
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: them back, you know, from the deficits and we ended

656
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: up winning with with Jamaine or not Jamaine to Davy

657
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: is getting at interception. So to me, it's a lot

658
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: about his deep balls and that than it is about

659
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: just the offensive collectively not shooting themselves in the foot

660
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: with with dum penalties, you know, and just being consistent.

661
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: And the other thing I wanted to bring up was

662
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: about Josh Allen and how everybody mentions his default accuracy

663
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: as being lesson. It was his rookie, and I think

664
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: that it's less that he's not got it anymore, and

665
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: more that he spent so much time in his off

666
00:31:55,760 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: season going into his second season practicing in the sing

667
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,479
Speaker 1: his accreasy, his strong motions in immediate and short distance,

668
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: those that he was no longer just you know, naturally

669
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: throwing as like he was his his U look at you.

670
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: And that's why his his deep ball wasn't as actual

671
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: because he was he had to put more, he was

672
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: putting more thought into his strong motion. Interesting, yeah, Carl,

673
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: Interesting thoughts, Steve. Yeah, you know, I am not enough

674
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: at all of a quarterback expert to tell you why

675
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: the deep pass went away from Josh last year, But

676
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: I do know this, and I feel this deeply. When

677
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: we sat down and it was February twenty eighth and

678
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: talked with Jordan Palmer, and when I listened to him

679
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: talk about the attention to detail and everything he's done

680
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: from a mental aspect on a physical aspect to fix

681
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: Josh's deep passing, I thought, he's gonna be all right. That,

682
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,479
Speaker 1: plus the way that Josh works, you know what I mean,

683
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: I don't I wouldn't know what I say. You know,

684
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know, Hey, put your feet this way, put

685
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: your shoulders more level. I don't know what I'm talking about,

686
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: but I do hear. When I hear Jordan Palmer talk

687
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: about how that was their focus, I thought, Okay, he's

688
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: gonna be all right. Yeah, I'm glad you admit that

689
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: you didn't know what you were talking about with Josh,

690
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: because you know, as a you know, I wouldn't either.

691
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: I will say this, there are a lot of people

692
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: out there who think they can fix Josh. I told

693
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: you the story. I was back a month and a

694
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: half ago when I was still going to the supermarket.

695
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: I go to the local grocery store here and a

696
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: guy sees me in the parking lot, comes up and

697
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: stop six feet away, and we start walking into the

698
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: store six feet away, and he gives me the abs

699
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: and c's of how Josh Allen needs to fix his

700
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: throwing motion, right, I mean just yeah. An old guy said, listen,

701
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: here's how you know, and he was talking and he

702
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: had some pretty specific ideas about why Josh was messing up.

703
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,719
Speaker 1: So it doesn't I'm kind of surprised we don't get

704
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: more calls about people of how he should fix his

705
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: throwing motion or what his mindset should be. But believe me,

706
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: I'm with you, mur He is working hard on it,

707
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: and there are guys who do know what they're talking

708
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: about who are in his ear and he's seeking out

709
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: to help him with his throwing motion, with his accuracy

710
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: and his deep ball completions. So he's trying to do

711
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: it on all cylinders. Plus he's trying to work up

712
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: some chemistry with his receivers. And we've been talking about

713
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: the last this last week, so you know, there's a

714
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,919
Speaker 1: lot on his plate. He's got a lot of work

715
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: to do. He's got a lot of things not only

716
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: to get better at, but also to just get started with,

717
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: you know, the chemistry with taking another step in this offense.

718
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 1: And I think the caller Carl from Sloan saying that

719
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: about and I've said it before, they need to be

720
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: more efficient. He go back and look at plays during

721
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: the season. A lot of time they would come off

722
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: the field and after a play where the whole team

723
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: would execute it pretty well, and Josh didn't just didn't

724
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: hit it. They just didn't complete the pass. They had

725
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: a guy running open, or Josh went to the wrong guy,

726
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: or he didn't get back to the guy to the

727
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: right option fast enough. And that's why you hear guys

728
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: saying and there's no one answer, but you'd hear guys saying, well,

729
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: he didn't get to his second or third option quick enough,

730
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 1: because it's just not second nature yet the defensive schemes. Well,

731
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: that's right on some plays, But on other plays, you know,

732
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 1: it's true, Josh just misses the mark and on another play, yeah,

733
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: they just missed that deep ball. On another play, yeah,

734
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: it's you know something the pressure and he panics and

735
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: he doesn't throw it right or he's off balance or whatever.

736
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: So there's a vast array of reasons why these plays

737
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: don't work and why Josh has been, as the caller said,

738
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: a little inconsistent with hard work and with reps that

739
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: goes away and that's what he's got all that to

740
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: work on this offseason. It's nice for us, you and

741
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: me to talk about he is working on it. Yep.

742
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: Carl's other point was consistency, and sure, I mean that's

743
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: you know, you just score eighteen nineteen points a game,

744
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: and you know you can do more than that. You've

745
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: got to be consistent. I think that almost as almost

746
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: doesn't need to be said, right, Yeah, And we're not

747
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: talking about, you know, an entire segment. You know, maybe

748
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: the long ball falls into the category of an entire

749
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: segment of his game that you know he needs where

750
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: maybe that would help. But we're just talking about three

751
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: plays a game being different. Three out of seventy five

752
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 1: offensive play seventy to seventy five offensive plays. You know,

753
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: you're on the field anywhere from sixty to eighty offensive

754
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 1: plays a game. Both of those are extreme numbers, but

755
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: you're talking about three out of all of those, and

756
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 1: if you can make those that make this completion instead

757
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 1: of having it drop or hit this long ball, instead

758
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: of having it sale over the guy or just scramble

759
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: for a first down when the pressure comes, you know,

760
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: three plays like that and the game is yours. You

761
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: score twenty six points instead of eighteen. You know, you

762
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: score twenty seven points instead the twenty. That's all it takes. Yep,

763
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: take a phone call here from Fran and Buffalo. Hello Fran,

764
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: you're on the air. Hey, good afternoon, gentleman. An always

765
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 1: interesting show. I was winning during this COVID nineteen pandemic

766
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 1: with the New York Jets and New York Giants playing

767
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,439
Speaker 1: in New Jersey. I was wondering if you knew which

768
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: states or jurisdiction fell under. I think it's Jersey, isn't it, Steve.

769
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: I mean both of them practice in New Jersey. They

770
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: both played games in New Jersey. In the old days,

771
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: the Jets would have their practice facility at Hofstar on

772
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: Long Island they have since moved to was a Floram

773
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: Park in New Jersey. And the Giants practice right there

774
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: at the Meadowlands. So right, and their Jersey guys, they're

775
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: totally Jersey. Yeah, and that'll be interesting. I think I'll

776
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: be interesting to see Steve just as a sidelight. So

777
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: you know, teams are gonna let the league know now

778
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: about how they're gonna get staff back at work in

779
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 1: the buildings and no players or coaches yet, and there's

780
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,800
Speaker 1: still I hear different reports on whether, you know, if

781
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 1: the state of Indiana allows, uh, you know, if they

782
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 1: take all the restrictions off, if the Colts will go

783
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: to work while the Bills can't, or the Jets or

784
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: Giants can't. You know what I mean. They're the league

785
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: initially said everybody's got to come back at once, but

786
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've read and heard different things that

787
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: they might not be held to that. Do you know.

788
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: It's at It seems like they've softened their stance on that,

789
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: particularly given the fact that if I would say this

790
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: Murph if saying Arizona and whoever else said Nevada opens

791
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 1: up their state for professional sports, I would say that

792
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: probably the leagues, with the Arizona Cardinals and the Raiders

793
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: being in those states, I would say that the league

794
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 1: would probably say, okay, listen, if you want to, every

795
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: team in the league can travel to a state that's like,

796
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: if Idaho's open or whatever, you know, you name it,

797
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: if some of these other states are, if there's spotty

798
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 1: where there's enough states open or whatever, teams could go

799
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:48,760
Speaker 1: and get it, find a facility, isolate and start practicing

800
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: and the league may say, if you want to do that,

801
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: you can, and the states that have the ability to

802
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: open their facilities go ahead and say, And I would

803
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised either if, like the Cardinals said, we

804
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: don't want our division rivals here, but certainly the Bills

805
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: can come, stay to resort and use our facilities at

806
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:08,959
Speaker 1: the times we don't need it, or we'll we'll share

807
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: it with them. Now we're on their schedule, so it

808
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't be the Bills. But you get my point, right, yeah,

809
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 1: if you get a share. But I hear what you're saying. Well,

810
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: look here, I don't know that the league's going to

811
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: allow some teams to practice and others not to. I

812
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:25,879
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not saying they won't, but I don't

813
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 1: know that they will. You know, I don't think they would.

814
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: But as soon as it's possible for all thirty two

815
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: teams to find a place, then they'd say, okay, go.

816
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. If you're in the Arizona

817
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: Cardinals say, using your example, and you've tested all your

818
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: players and screened all your players and determined that the

819
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: building is safe, why would you open it up to

820
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: allow another team to come in and possibly contaminate a

821
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: problem with that. Yeah, you have to. Yeah, you'd have

822
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: to take precautions to make sure that you're not allowing

823
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: somebody in there who you'd treat the other team exactly

824
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 1: like you treated your own. You'd have to. You would

825
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: have to test them, isolate them, and then allow them

826
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: to do it. And I would say too that as

827
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 1: a team, you would take steps early before, Like if

828
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 1: there's a date out there, say hey, listen, we've got

829
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 1: a chance for all this to happen July fifteenth. So

830
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 1: what you do is, guys on the first July or

831
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: the last day of June, where you got to isolate.

832
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna have everybody go and be in this hotel

833
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 1: for two weeks together, and we can't practice or anything,

834
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: but you got to start isolating, you know what I mean.

835
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 1: They start to ramp up. So when they do get

836
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: the go ahead, everybody has isolated for two weeks, they

837
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,879
Speaker 1: get tested. Now that they're off and running. I don't

838
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: know if you could possibly do that or whether there's

839
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: any way for somebody to like get certified isolated, you

840
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: know what I mean, So you could do it on

841
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: your own. All that comes on to the table though

842
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: as possible. You're gonna get it. Get ready to go.

843
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: Let's start your two week isolation period as quickly as

844
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 1: you can on an individual basis, and then you know,

845
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: start testing and here we go. We don't know really

846
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. But no, to answer the caller's question,

847
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: both the Jets and the Giants, not from an NFL sense,

848
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: but from a government sense, are covered by the slots

849
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: of the state of New Jersey. They're both New Jersey teams. Right,

850
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: we got a break and then we're coming back. One

851
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo

854
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 1: can all smell the ring, can't you. You don't smell

855
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 1: that smelling. I can know what's going I'm gonna pour,

856
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna pour. It's gonna come down today. Let's talk

857

861
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: Eight h three to three one eight five fifty two

862
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,280
Speaker 1: five fifty. You're not limited by what we have selected

863
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: as our topic of the day. It's a Friday and

864
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: mail bad day. Do whatever you'd like. Hey, this was

865
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: an interesting story that I woke up to today, Steve.

866
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: Former Steelers star linebacker James Harrison, said coach Mike Tomlin

867
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: gave him an envelope after Harrison's devastating hit on Brown's

868
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: wide receiver Mohammad Massaquoi in twenty ten. Now Harrison was

869
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: fined seventy five thousand dollars for the hit, the most

870
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 1: he said he was ever fined, later reduced to fifty thousand.

871
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: Massaquois suffered a concussion as a result of the head

872
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: to head hit was not flagged into game twenty ten.

873
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: The NFL had a couple of fines that weekend. That

874
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: one weekend they were trying to drive home the point

875
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 1: of what they were trying to get away from. There

876
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 1: was no penal. H Harrison, considered a repeat defender, got

877
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: the seventy five thousand dollars fine earlier. He had a

878
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 1: five thousand fine earlier in the season, but he says

879
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: he got an envelope for Mike Tomlin supposedly with the

880
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: seventy five thousand dollars like a reef on for the hit.

881
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: Stevens President Art Rooney later denied Harrison's claims. I don't

882
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 1: know what do you think about that's that's not bounty.

883
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: That's not a bounty, Steve. That's important to see the

884
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: distinct helping the guy, helping the guy pay is fine.

885
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: Is different than telling the guy before the game to

886
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:14,839
Speaker 1: go out and take the guy out and then paying

887
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: him to extra to do that. That's that's different. But

888
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: this is as good? Is that? Is that a good thing?

889
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: You want that to happen? Guys? Fine, Yeah, it's not

890
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 1: so good. And I can see it for something like

891
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: having his socks down or something like that, right, but

892
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 1: not not for a hit that where a guy gets hurt.

893
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: That kind of stinks. But um, it is at a

894
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 1: time and if you remember, this is back when the league,

895
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,280
Speaker 1: like you said, was cracking down, say kind of change

896
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 1: the rules mid career for these guys, and it was

897
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 1: an adjustment period for a lot of guys. And I

898
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: think that makes it different for me as a player. Uh,

899
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: you got you got an organization who has been a

900
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:58,879
Speaker 1: hard hitting big defensive squad for decades and the league

901
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: comes out and changes that. And I think offering to

902
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: pay the guys fine after after the fact is a

903
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 1: little bit of a nod towards I think it's a

904
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: little bit And you can say whatever you want. I

905
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: think it's a little team building. Listen, we got you,

906
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: I got I. Keep playing hard, stay within the rules.

907
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: I know you learned your lesson here. I'll pay your

908
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 1: fine this time. Don't tell anybody you know what I'm saying.

909
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 1: I that's a lot different than what we're talking about

910
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 1: with bounty gate, right, A lot different. Yeah, I know

911
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I don't know that you want

912
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,320
Speaker 1: to encourage teams paying fines for any players, right, I

913
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: mean the players, fine, not the team. I can see

914
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 1: why teams. If anything, it's a violation of the salary cap, right,

915
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: and extra dollars that should go into the star right.

916
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 1: Yeah that's right. Yeah. So I again, and some in

917
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: the article I read it was by Rory Parks, And

918
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 1: I don't know where Rory Parks works or worries out of,

919
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: but he labeled James Harrison as a notorious cheap shot artist.

920
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: I don't I don't necessarily associate James Harrison with a

921
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: cheap shot. Now, he got fined, as you mentioned, a

922
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: couple of times, but it was after they had changed

923
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 1: the rules to make certain things illegal, and Harrison got

924
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 1: nicked a couple of times for that. Now, Harrison and

925
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 1: you know, quarterback protecting the quarterback, head to head contact,

926
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 1: all the stuff that we've come familiar with over the

927
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: last handful of years. This was well, this was ten

928
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: years ago, so and the and the league has evolved

929
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,800
Speaker 1: very quickly away from that because of the concussion stuff.

930
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 1: But you know, back at when they started to do that, guy,

931
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: you know, it was a hard adjustment for guys to make,

932
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 1: and Harrison was one of those. I don't think he

933
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,320
Speaker 1: was ever kind of a cheap shot guy, but he was.

934
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 1: He was making her point to hit guys hard, so

935
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: and under the old rules it was no big deal.

936
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: And then they changed him and then all of a

937
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 1: sudden he got fined a couple of times. I don't

938
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: I never really equated him as a cheap shot guy.

939
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: Certainly aggressive and a hard nosed guy, no question, And

940
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: some of the guys, some of the hits maybe bordered

941
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 1: on on a penalty, but even the shot we're talking

942
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: about here with Uhamed Massokoy that is quoted in the article.

943
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 1: I wasn't even flagged on the field, right, It wasn't

944
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 1: even a penalty. So it was a tough adjustment for

945
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: a lot of guys. So I'm this whole thing. This

946
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 1: is one of those things while if you could talk

947
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: to the more you talk about it, the bigger deal

948
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: it becomes. I you know, it should just go away.

949
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just the league was different then and

950
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 1: it's different now, so don't compare the two. It's an

951
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: interesting story. We'll talk more about that as we move

952
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: through the day. Coming up next, we're gonna talk more

953
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 1: about the Buffalo offense and Josh Allen and what's the

954
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 1: key for him to get better? The key for the

955
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo offense to get better. March Schofield, who writes for

956
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: USA Today's Touchdown Wire, will join us when we return.

Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio Buffalo Bills Radio Network Sports Update. The

960
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,760
Speaker 1: update from One Bill's Live. Former Steelers starred James Harrison

961
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,839
Speaker 1: said head coach Mike Amlin gave him an envelope after

962
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: his devastating hit on Brown's wide receiver Mohammed Massequoi in

963
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:09,280
Speaker 1: twenty ten. Initially, Harrison was fine seventy five thousand dollars

964
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 1: for the hit, the most he said he was ever fine.

965
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: It was later reduced to fifty thousand. Steelers president Art

966
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 1: Rooney issued a statement later last night denying Harrison's claims

967
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 1: that claimed that somehow Tomlin paid for his fine. Arrest

968
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 1: warrants have been issued in South Florida for Giants cornerback

969
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 1: DeAndre Baker and Seahawks cornerback Clinton Dunbar in connection to

970
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: an armed robbery investigation. According to police in Miramar, Florida,

971
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 1: Baker's arrest warrants for four counts of armed robbery with

972
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 1: a firearm and four counts of aggravated assault with a firearm.

973
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: Dunbar is wanted on four counts of armed robbery with

974
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: a firearm. The alleged ins and then took place late

975
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 1: Wednesday night to the party that began on Wednesday, John Peyton,

976
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 1: head coach of the Saints, was not surprised that the

977
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: NFL plans to end its one year experiment of allowing

978
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: past interference calls to be reviewed by replay. Peyton says,

979
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,959
Speaker 1: it's become It became clear last season that the league

980
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: was not prepared to in it's that rule and monitored

981
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: the correct way. The theory, he said, was good, but

982
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: Peyton said, quote quite honestly, we were not ready in

983
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,359
Speaker 1: New York to handle it. Peyton was a driving force

984
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 1: behind the league ground baking decision a year ago to

985
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 1: allow pass interference fall to be reviewed for the first time.

986
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:19,359
Speaker 1: And Matthew Stafford of the Detroit Lions has had conversations

987
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 1: with general manager Bob Quinn and head coach Matt Patricia

988
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,839
Speaker 1: about rumors that he would still be the quarterback this year.

989
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 1: Says he's not thinking about it now, but there have

990
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:31,319
Speaker 1: been reports that the Lions quarterback has put his house

991
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,359
Speaker 1: up for sale. They have put his five bedroom, seven

992
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 1: bathroom suburban Detroit home on the market for six and

993
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 1: a half million dollars, sparking those rumors. And there you go.

994
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: That is the update from One Bill's Line. John Murphy,

995
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker our number two, ready to talk with our

996
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: next guests about the Bills and the rest of the NFL.

997
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:51,399
Speaker 1: He's the NFL writer for USA today's Touchdown Wire, host

998
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 1: of The Skull podcast, Marks Golfield joined us. Hello, Mark

999
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: Tak's coming on with us. We appreciate it. Hello, good afternoon, Johnking, afternoon, Steve.

1000
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:00,439
Speaker 1: Great to be back. Would you find gentle and today?

1001
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:02,439
Speaker 1: Good to be have you here. Hey, we were talking.

1002
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 1: We've talked the first hour on our show here today

1003
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 1: about what's the step of Bill's offense needs to take.

1004
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: You've written a pretty detailed article about Josh Allen fixing

1005
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 1: his inaccuracy problems on the deep pass. What can you

1006
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 1: tell us about that? What do you see there? Yeah,

1007
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 1: And it stems from the fact that when you think

1008
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: about Josh Allen and where he was as a prospect

1009
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 1: coming out of the University of Wyoming, we all knew

1010
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 1: that he had the big arm and the ability to

1011
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: generate velocity, and people like myself sort of considered that

1012
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:32,760
Speaker 1: Josh Allen would be a perfect fit for a vertical

1013
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:35,800
Speaker 1: based pass an attack. You thought, Eric Coreel when you

1014
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: were watching him, the ability to push the ball downfield,

1015
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:40,280
Speaker 1: and when you think to you know what, he started

1016
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:42,320
Speaker 1: playing in the preseason. He had that touchdown against I

1017
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: think it was the Carolina Panthers on sort of a

1018
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: vertical route along the right sideline in the red zone

1019
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 1: where he sort of attacked that cover too and put

1020
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 1: the ball in between the corner and the safety. And

1021
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: it just seemed to make sense that he would be

1022
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 1: incredibly efficient at that downfield part of the game. But

1023
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:57,800
Speaker 1: when you look at some of the numbers in the

1024
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 1: film last year, it didn't come together for him. You

1025
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: saw a quarterback that struggled downfield on throws over twenty yards,

1026
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: But interestingly enough, was a very efficient and effective passer

1027
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,359
Speaker 1: in that sort of ten to nineteen range. Matter of fact,

1028
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,439
Speaker 1: his quarterback rating on throws in that area the field

1029
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: was above average. And so when you think about you know,

1030
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo in this offense and Josh Allen potentially taking that

1031
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: next step as a unit, and Josh as a passer,

1032
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: if he can add what we thought he was going

1033
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: to be that downfield vertical passer. So the quarterback he's

1034
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 1: become under Brian David more of a almost rhythm and

1035
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:31,399
Speaker 1: based passer, then you're talking about a quarterback that could

1036
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 1: do it all and truly stretch the defense from the

1037
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage down vertically downfield. And so that's what

1038
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see next year if he can bring

1039
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: that downfield part of the game to what he does

1040
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: as a quarterback. Right now, Well, the plus side of

1041
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 1: that mark is that the deep ball. Everybody says, well,

1042
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: if he could just complete like half of those, well

1043
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:50,359
Speaker 1: you don't even need to compete half of him. You're

1044
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: talking about the best quarterbacks in the league. You're like

1045
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: thirty percent, right, and that's on a career year, right,

1046
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 1: So you're looking to complete maybe one of four, one

1047
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:02,360
Speaker 1: of five, and if you can do that, it's a

1048
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 1: huge quantum leap for for an offense that you know

1049
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: that those kind of plays you know, you know set

1050
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:11,800
Speaker 1: up points. That's a point differential kind of play. And

1051
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:13,719
Speaker 1: that's but that's all you're talking about. It's just one

1052
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 1: or two of those, right. Nobody expects a quarterback to hit,

1053
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: you know, ninety percent of his throws on twenty yards

1054
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 1: and more down field. You're you're really talking about, you know,

1055
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 1: can you hit one or two a game? You know,

1056
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:26,359
Speaker 1: can you hit you know, a couple over the course

1057
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 1: of a stretch of the season when you might need

1058
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: to win some games to improve your playoff position, and

1059
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:33,319
Speaker 1: the ability to hit on just a couple of those

1060
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 1: from game to game will really sort of put something

1061
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 1: in the mind of defensive coordinators. You know, we can't

1062
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:40,359
Speaker 1: play cover one. We can't bring that safety down into

1063
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 1: the box to stop the run. We can't condense on

1064
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:45,360
Speaker 1: routes and that's say zero to nineteen yard of the

1065
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:47,800
Speaker 1: area of the field, because you know, we've got to

1066
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,320
Speaker 1: protect against John Brown going team. We've got to protect

1067
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,880
Speaker 1: against Stefon Diggs going deep. We've got to bring that

1068
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,879
Speaker 1: sort of second safety down. You know, from the line

1069
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 1: of scribbage, play him d play that cover two, and

1070
00:51:58,120 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 1: that does so much for an offense when you think

1071
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 1: about what he could then do against the run. You know,

1072
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 1: with the run, you can run against the lighter boxes,

1073
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,840
Speaker 1: you can sort of get Cole Beasley working underneath, you

1074
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 1: can get the tight ends working underneath. It allows you

1075
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:11,799
Speaker 1: to do so much more. But when you're not hitting

1076
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: those deep throws with any level of consistency, you know,

1077
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:16,920
Speaker 1: even it's just one or two a game, that defensive

1078
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 1: coordinate and thinks, I don't have to worry about it.

1079
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:20,439
Speaker 1: I could bring them down into the box. It could

1080
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 1: bring that safety down into the box, stop the run.

1081
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: Condensed on those routes thrown over the middle, underneath and

1082
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: really sort of eliminate what you're trying to do best. Now, Hey, Mark,

1083
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:33,320
Speaker 1: Steve and I had a conversation with the Jordan Palmer,

1084
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 1: Josh's offseason quarterback guru back at the Combine, and we've

1085
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 1: cited it a number of times, but it strikes me

1086
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: that at the time Palmer a acknowledge that that was

1087
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 1: Josh maybe his biggest problem last year, and b he

1088
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 1: had a plan and it was like a two part plan,

1089
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 1: both physical adjusting some mechanics about his delivery and mental.

1090
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: Think about it in terms of this way, I think

1091
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:56,800
Speaker 1: that I don't know, do you see anything either physically

1092
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:00,320
Speaker 1: or mentally that Jos might have to overcome to is

1093
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 1: deep passing, short cuttings? You know? I think John that's

1094
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,279
Speaker 1: a very good point. And Jordan Palmer is working with

1095
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: some of the top flight quarterbacks right now in the

1096
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 1: league and he's gotten a reputation for what he can

1097
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 1: do as a quarterback coach, and the fact that Josh

1098
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 1: Allen's working with him, it's a great sign for Allen's

1099
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 1: development going forward. And I think Jordan's right. First the

1100
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: physical standpoint, there are some footwork and mechanical issues with

1101
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 1: his feet and his base, particularly when pushing the ball downfield,

1102
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 1: that I think could be cleaned up. His release point

1103
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:28,839
Speaker 1: is also sometimes a bit inconsistent. You'd like to see

1104
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,399
Speaker 1: a bit more of a consistent release point that doesn't

1105
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: cause the ball to be overthrown, doesn't cause the ball

1106
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 1: is sometimes being underthrown. And then there's the mental side

1107
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 1: of it, which you do see in sort of that

1108
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 1: third year from quarterbacks where everything really sorts starts to

1109
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:44,360
Speaker 1: slow down for them. And you know, Tony Robolt just

1110
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,360
Speaker 1: sat down with Josh and some other young quarterbacks and

1111
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 1: talked about the mental side of the game and talked about,

1112
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: you know, not so much known exactly what the defense

1113
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,800
Speaker 1: is doing, but more ruling out what the defense is

1114
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 1: not doing, and that improves you're thinking as a quarterback.

1115
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 1: And Josh specifically, he's talking about that's somebody he's trying

1116
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 1: to do in the year ed And if you can

1117
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: sort of get to that point where it's not you

1118
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 1: don't know exactly what they're doing, but you know what

1119
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: they're not doing, then that gives you a better frame

1120
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:09,359
Speaker 1: of mind to make some throws, even in the downfield game.

1121
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:12,439
Speaker 1: So those like Jordan said will be huge for his development. Yeah.

1122
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 1: One of the things about the Bills, they won ten

1123
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:17,879
Speaker 1: games last year with these this quarterback in Josh Allen,

1124
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 1: who was deficient in the long ball, they won ten games.

1125
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: Their schedule looks on paper to be a little bit

1126
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 1: more difficult this year. But in your power rankings you

1127
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:31,280
Speaker 1: have the Bills moving up one spot after their draft.

1128
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 1: What do you think about the Bills draft and why

1129
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 1: do you think maybe you can count on it making

1130
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 1: them that much better? Well, I think there are a

1131
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:41,320
Speaker 1: number of elements, Steve that go into them sort of

1132
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 1: moving up rankings, such as mine and others. You know,

1133
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 1: when people take a step back and look at their

1134
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 1: entire offseason, you see the Stefon Diggs acquisitions, which I

1135
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 1: think will be a big help to Josh Allen when

1136
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 1: we talk about the downfield targets. But also look a

1137
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 1: g Evans I think was a nice acquisition for them.

1138
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:58,839
Speaker 1: You know, maybe he's more of a three tack, maybe

1139
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: he's more of a five tax somebody you're gonna play

1140
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 1: a little bit more inside than a pure edge, but

1141
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: he gives you that flexibility up front that you can

1142
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 1: get after the passer and you know, pass rush is

1143
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: critical in today's National Football League, and anybody that can

1144
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: help you in that area is going to be a

1145
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,359
Speaker 1: help to what you do. I love the draft pick

1146
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 1: of Zach Moss. I think Moss is a fantastic running back.

1147
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 1: I think he and Devin Singletary will be a fantastic

1148
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 1: sort of one two punch in that offensive backfield. A

1149
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,759
Speaker 1: little bit of thunder and lightning perhaps. I think when

1150
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: I watch Zach Moss, I get a little bit of

1151
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 1: a Roger Craig flashback sort of the running style, but

1152
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 1: the ability to do some stuff in the passing game.

1153
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:35,320
Speaker 1: So I think those two picks in particular certainly helped.

1154
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 1: I think the kicker is a nice acquisition. I know

1155
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:40,440
Speaker 1: it's strange to say, you know a kicker helps you

1156
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 1: in the draft, but you know, sometimes when you're thinking

1157
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,399
Speaker 1: about a tough schedule, when you're thinking about playing games

1158
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:47,400
Speaker 1: against the NFC West teams and you might be in

1159
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 1: some tight games, a kicker that could consistently deliver for

1160
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,359
Speaker 1: you might be the deal breaker, might be a game

1161
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 1: winning kind of factor. So he's a nice acquisition. And

1162
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 1: I'm always somebody that likes the idea of improving the

1163
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 1: backup quarterbacks ball. I liked Jake From in some offensive systems.

1164
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: I think Brian Dable certainly knows what he can do.

1165
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:07,720
Speaker 1: I like Jake From's draft pick. And finally, Dane Jackson,

1166
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 1: the cornerback from Pittsburgh who they drafted late in the draft.

1167
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 1: I loved watching him down at the Senior Bowl. I

1168
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 1: thought he was a feisty young corner, very aggressive, has

1169
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:17,879
Speaker 1: that short term memory. He would give up a play

1170
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:19,840
Speaker 1: forget about it, come out for the next rep and

1171
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 1: really sort of shut down his receiver. I think, you know,

1172
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 1: if Trey White sort of takes him under his wing,

1173
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 1: he could be a nice guy that contributes early on

1174
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,320
Speaker 1: special teams, that carves out a role going forward. So

1175
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, talk to bottom. I thought even without that

1176
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 1: first round pick, they had a very good draft. With

1177
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: Mark Schofield, NFL writer for a USA Today's Touchdown Wire,

1178
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:38,799
Speaker 1: I want to get you back to the third round pick,

1179
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:42,360
Speaker 1: Jack Moss for a minute. Mark the way you describe it,

1180
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 1: that's almost a steel for Buffalo, right you had. Jack

1181
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 1: Moss is the twenty sixth ranked overall prospect in the

1182
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 1: draft going into it this year. Tell me what he

1183
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:51,719
Speaker 1: saw there and what the Bill's gonna expect from them. Yeah,

1184
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 1: both Doug Ferrard I really liked Zach Moss, and part

1185
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:57,360
Speaker 1: of it goes from his ability to sort of be

1186
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:00,360
Speaker 1: elusive without having that sort of game break in speed

1187
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:03,240
Speaker 1: and change of direction ability. He's somebody that makes defenders

1188
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: miss in the open field. That might be a little

1189
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 1: bit deceptive at times, because he certainly didn't test Wall

1190
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:09,840
Speaker 1: at the combine, but he has that ability to be

1191
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:12,959
Speaker 1: elusive in the open field, to make me feel miss

1192
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,359
Speaker 1: even down near the line of scrimmage. If it certainly helps,

1193
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: especially if we're talking about again that deep ball comes

1194
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 1: together for Josh Allen when you're running against lighter boxes,

1195
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 1: that will certainly help. He's also somebody that can contribute

1196
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 1: in the passing game as well. Sometimes you don't see

1197
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 1: college running backs asked to do a lot, you know,

1198
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 1: in the passing game. They're not asked to pick up

1199
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 1: blitz is, they're not asked to run routes. You know,

1200
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 1: they might have a guy that's specified to do just that.

1201
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 1: And if you're the every down back, so they speak

1202
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 1: like a Zach Moss, you come off the field. In

1203
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 1: those plays. They kept him on the field. He's good

1204
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 1: in pass protection, he's good with his routes. You know,

1205
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:45,959
Speaker 1: he's a bit older, and the fact that he didn't

1206
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 1: test Wall maybe saw him slide down the board. But

1207
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 1: when you're looking at the running back position, you want

1208
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 1: somebody that can contribute early. They could stay on the

1209
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 1: field and third downs and that can make people miss.

1210
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 1: And to get a player like that in the third

1211
00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 1: round at that point of the draft, I think was

1212
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 1: a steel for being in front office. Do you think

1213
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 1: he could be the bell cow back? Do you think

1214
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 1: Zach Moss comes in and maybe dethrones Devin Singletary. Certainly

1215
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: you want to run with two running backs, But do

1216
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:10,959
Speaker 1: you think there's a scenario where Zach Moss turns into

1217
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 1: this guy they're like, Wow, this is the guy we

1218
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 1: want on the field more. I think there's certainly Steve

1219
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 1: that potential for that. You're talking about somebody that can

1220
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:20,640
Speaker 1: get you yardage between the tackles. They can get you

1221
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 1: those tough yards. I'd say a third and three when

1222
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 1: you decide, look, we don't like to look we're seeing

1223
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: priest and have to put the ball in the air.

1224
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna check to a run employe and see if

1225
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 1: our guy can pick it up between the tackles. Zach

1226
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 1: Moss can do that kind of stuff, and also the

1227
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:34,920
Speaker 1: sort of ability to sort of mix and match what

1228
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna do offensively with two running backs with different styles. Again,

1229
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 1: in this timeframe where we're talking about not a lot

1230
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 1: of practice time during the week, you want to get

1231
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 1: so many hours on the field. If you're a defensive

1232
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:47,640
Speaker 1: quarter and you have to worry now about Josh Allen

1233
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 1: hit the ball downfield to Stefan Diggs, what single carry

1234
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 1: can do on the outside and some of the outside

1235
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 1: zone type of plays, and what Zach Moss might be

1236
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 1: able to do in someone inside zone and gap and

1237
00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 1: power stuff. That's a lot to defend and get ready

1238
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 1: for during the course of one week. So I think

1239
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 1: Zach Moss has the potential be perhaps, like you said,

1240
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:07,680
Speaker 1: Steve a Bell cow back. But even if Singletary sees

1241
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 1: say he's one A and mosses won B, that's still

1242
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:14,120
Speaker 1: a very effective backfield for Buffalo. Hey mark schedule came

1243
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 1: out last week in a recent post on USA Today's

1244
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 1: stet Scot and why are you think the Bill's toughest

1245
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 1: game is going to be the game December seventh, Monday

1246
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 1: Night football at San Francisco. There's a lot to choose

1247
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 1: from a lot of other tough games. Why is that

1248
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 1: one number one? Do you think? Yeah? I think when

1249
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 1: you look at the fact that the AFC East, all

1250
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 1: those teams have a tough schedule this year because they've

1251
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 1: got to play the NFC West and so you're gonna

1252
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 1: get some road games, You're gonna get some lawn travel games,

1253
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:40,560
Speaker 1: and this is certainly one for the Bills. We have

1254
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 1: to go, you know, cross country Monday night football. You know,

1255
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 1: to play a team like the San Francisco Organized we

1256
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 1: just made it to the Super Bowl. You know, that's

1257
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 1: certainly going to be tough to begin with. But then

1258
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:52,120
Speaker 1: you factor in the part of the schedule where you know,

1259
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:53,920
Speaker 1: you certainly you're coming off the buy, but then you've

1260
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: got the Chargers at home, and then you're going out

1261
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 1: West like that's you're going to get the rest shut

1262
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 1: But before the they have Arizona at Arizona, so that's

1263
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:04,880
Speaker 1: a bit of a tough, you know, travel schedule. You've

1264
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 1: got road game to the West coast by home game,

1265
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 1: which might be a tough home game. You know, the

1266
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 1: Chargers looked pretty improved on the defensive side of the ball,

1267
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 1: obviously at the quarterback situation to figure out. And then

1268
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna go back west again to face the forty

1269
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 1: nine Ers, who we expect to be a team in

1270
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 1: contention in the NFC West. They have got tough games

1271
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 1: up and down their schedule. You know, they're lucky that

1272
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 1: they get Seattle at home, for example, but that forty

1273
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 1: nine is game on Monday night, that environment, I think

1274
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 1: that might be a tough game for them. One of

1275
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:31,439
Speaker 1: the things Murph and I've been doing on the show

1276
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:34,600
Speaker 1: is going down the list of Bill's opponents, and one

1277
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 1: of the teams that has been a little under our

1278
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 1: radar in our own division has been the New York Jets.

1279
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 1: And one of the things about the Jets is Murph

1280
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 1: and I both have a lot of respect for Sam

1281
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 1: Darnold on a struggling and a struggling last year, Levion

1282
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 1: Bell didn't give them the production they wanted. Their offensive

1283
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 1: line wasn't quite up to snuff. What do you see

1284
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 1: for the Jets this year? How do you think Darnold's

1285
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 1: gonna do in this new offense? And quite frankly, do

1286
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:01,440
Speaker 1: you think Adam is going to survive this year. I mean,

1287
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 1: we feel like he may be under more pressure than

1288
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 1: he had to coach in the league. I think he

1289
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 1: might be Steve you know when he has a sort

1290
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:09,920
Speaker 1: of reputation as a quarterback whisper or a quarterback guru,

1291
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 1: but that hasn't quite you know, panned out other than

1292
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 1: the time he spent with Peyton Man. And you know, look,

1293
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:17,400
Speaker 1: I think I could coach Peyton Man in and make

1294
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 1: him into a pretty good quarterback because he's Peyton Man.

1295
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 1: And I think with Sam Donald and the Jets this year,

1296
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 1: obviously they have to fix the protection issues right. And

1297
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 1: they put a lot of time and effort this offseason

1298
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 1: into what they did with the offensive line. They bring in,

1299
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:32,000
Speaker 1: you know, George Fant, Greg Van Routing, you know, they

1300
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,440
Speaker 1: draft McKay backed it in the first round. They really

1301
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 1: want to make sure that they protect Sam Donald. But

1302
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,120
Speaker 1: another thing to keep in mind, his last year they

1303
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 1: were basically without Quincy and Noon Wall. We don't know

1304
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 1: about that neck injury. Chris Herndon had the suspension of limits,

1305
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 1: some injuries of his own, and Herndon and Donald will

1306
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 1: really forming a nice little pitch and catch sort of combination.

1307
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:50,280
Speaker 1: Two years ago. I really thought, you know, having that

1308
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 1: tight end would have been critical to Donald's development. If

1309
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 1: they could perhaps get you know, Brashott Perryman, who they

1310
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:00,160
Speaker 1: recently acquired as their ex if Crowder can be now

1311
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:02,320
Speaker 1: that slot guy, not a wide receiver that they're funnel

1312
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:04,560
Speaker 1: in the passing game through, if they can get something

1313
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,320
Speaker 1: from Denzel Mims was a fantastic acquisition for them as well,

1314
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 1: that draft pick in the second round, and hearned it

1315
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 1: is back healthy and consistently in the lineup. Now you've

1316
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 1: got an eleven personnel package that you can stretch the

1317
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 1: field a little bit with. They've taken on a bit

1318
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 1: more of a vertical pass an element to their offense.

1319
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 1: Adam Gaze is perhaps trying to get away from that

1320
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 1: more horizontal based passive attack that maybe sort of hamstrun

1321
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 1: Donald a bit. If they can be healthy, if they

1322
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:30,320
Speaker 1: can have that eleven personnel grew maybe opened up in

1323
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: a similar way for those Jets as we were talking

1324
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 1: about with the Bills, those passing lanes of downfield and

1325
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 1: then freeing up the box for Levi on Bell. They

1326
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 1: could put something together, but it really depends I think

1327
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:42,280
Speaker 1: a McKay Beckton if he pans out and they have

1328
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 1: that sort of cornerstone left tackle. I think everything will

1329
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:46,960
Speaker 1: flow from there. But you're right, there's a lot of

1330
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 1: pressure under Gaze. If it doesn't come together this year,

1331
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:52,280
Speaker 1: it's hard to see him surviving into twenty twenty one.

1332
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 1: Our Scofield, NFL writer for USA Today's Touchdown Wire, Hey, Mark,

1333
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:58,320
Speaker 1: I know we all have a little bit extra time

1334
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 1: these days, and maybe time, you know, time to do

1335
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:04,280
Speaker 1: stuff we wouldn't normally do. I'm just I'm struggling with this.

1336
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton's twenty nineteen intentional spikes grated. You knew where

1337
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 1: we're starting at, John, I knew exactly where you're going.

1338
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 1: It was funny because Doug for our Doug and I

1339
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 1: work so well together. He put out on Twitter yesterday

1340
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:19,520
Speaker 1: that you know, Andy Dalton led the league with seven

1341
01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:22,160
Speaker 1: intentional spikes last year, and sort of as a joke,

1342
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 1: I set up a private message so like, you don't

1343
01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 1: get to have to break those down on a piece tomorrow.

1344
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 1: He's like, you're actually absolutely right, and so we sort

1345
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:31,680
Speaker 1: of called my bluff there. So last night, what everybody

1346
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:33,520
Speaker 1: else might have been spending some time with some family

1347
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 1: members or doing something else, around the house. I'm coming

1348
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 1: up with a great in scale for intentional spikes where

1349
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:44,080
Speaker 1: you have situation, decisiveness, style, and results. I'm great in

1350
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:46,480
Speaker 1: all seven of these spikes. I'm cutting the film. I'm

1351
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:49,800
Speaker 1: putting a piece together. You're right, John, we've all been

1352
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:52,360
Speaker 1: sort of house bound for about two or three months. Now.

1353
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 1: We're getting a little antsy, the sun's out, we're trying

1354
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:56,960
Speaker 1: to get out of the house a little bit. Maybe

1355
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 1: we're going to a little stair crazy. But yeah, over

1356
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 1: in touch stow wire right now, I have graded and

1357
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 1: ranked all of Andy Dalton's seven intentional spikes to stop

1358
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:06,040
Speaker 1: the clock from the year before. How did he do?

1359
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 1: He did? Okay? Didn't he did? Okay? He Interestingly enough,

1360
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:11,680
Speaker 1: one of his better spikes was against Buffalo back in

1361
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:13,720
Speaker 1: that Week three game where he had a spike with

1362
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:16,360
Speaker 1: under I think thirty seconds left to stop the clock.

1363
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 1: They were in you know, scoring range. They were down

1364
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 1: by I think four, so they needed a touchdown. It

1365
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:23,640
Speaker 1: was a well executed spike he hit, even had a

1366
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 1: little bit of style to it because he sort of

1367
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 1: flipped the ball to the reff after he catches it

1368
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:29,640
Speaker 1: off the turf off the rebound. But then he threw

1369
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:31,760
Speaker 1: an interception to Trey Wide on the next play, So

1370
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 1: I mean the result, he got a zero grade for

1371
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:36,720
Speaker 1: the results because you know, when you throw an interception

1372
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 1: on the next play, you can't grade the spike that high. Yeah,

1373
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:41,440
Speaker 1: I gotta agree with you. I gotta agree with you.

1374
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 1: I let's go down another I want to to talk

1375
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:47,400
Speaker 1: to you about a quarterback who has yet to spike

1376
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:50,000
Speaker 1: the football too. He is, you know, down in Miami

1377
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 1: they've got Ryan Fitzpatrick, and we here in Buffalo have

1378
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 1: a special affinity for him. We're kind of, I don't know,

1379
01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 1: we feel like we discovered him here first, and we

1380
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 1: were the second team I think, or so that he

1381
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:02,600
Speaker 1: came to, but he was the first one where he

1382
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:06,240
Speaker 1: got extensive playing time and he's become one of the

1383
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:10,080
Speaker 1: all time great journeymen, feel good guys of all time

1384
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:13,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Can he hold off two, and if so,

1385
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:15,880
Speaker 1: with the roster around him, can he hold off to

1386
01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 1: for the season to give to a red shirt ear

1387
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 1: or is it just going to go that badly in

1388
01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:22,200
Speaker 1: Miami for fits and then two is going to be

1389
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 1: playing no matter what. Anyway, Yeah, Steve, I think that's

1390
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:27,120
Speaker 1: a critical question. That Miami's face it right now, and

1391
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 1: a lot of it might come down to I think

1392
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:31,960
Speaker 1: two factors in a sense, one how well they feel

1393
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 1: about their offensive line. You know, I guess you could

1394
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 1: say maybe three factors, because you're obviously concerned about two

1395
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:39,480
Speaker 1: from a medical perspective, you're wondering about that hip, but

1396
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:41,040
Speaker 1: is he going to be ready to go? And if

1397
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 1: there's any question, you might not want to put them

1398
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:45,400
Speaker 1: up behind an offensive eye that might have anywhere from

1399
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:47,520
Speaker 1: floor to five new faces you know on it from

1400
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 1: last year. So that's one part of it. The other

1401
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:51,200
Speaker 1: part of it is, look, we have to sort of

1402
01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:52,880
Speaker 1: face the real world right now. Are we going to

1403
01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 1: get a folk trading camp in preseason and OTAs and

1404
01:05:56,120 --> 01:05:58,400
Speaker 1: things like that? And if you can't get two already

1405
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 1: from a mental perspective to see the field, you know,

1406
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 1: Miami is in a position where they have a proven,

1407
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:07,440
Speaker 1: tested commodity in Ryan Fitzpatrick, who you know could go

1408
01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:10,240
Speaker 1: out and give you sixteen starts if you need to,

1409
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 1: you know, so you can take your time with TWA.

1410
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 1: Miami did a draft to to be competitive in twenty twenty.

1411
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:18,200
Speaker 1: They drafted him to be competitive in twenty twenty one

1412
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 1: and beyond. So there's no sense to rush him out

1413
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 1: onto the field, especially because you have, like you said,

1414
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:25,520
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker. You know, he's a guy that you I

1415
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 1: mean Steve Tasker, Ran Fitzpatrick, a guy that can go

1416
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:30,920
Speaker 1: out and take the snaps, run the offense. And if

1417
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 1: you're concerned about two as health, if you're concerned about

1418
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:35,360
Speaker 1: the offensive line, you have that guy in Fitzpatrick that

1419
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 1: gives you that time to potentially, like you said, give

1420
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 1: him a medical retshirt season. And Mark, why is Barrett

1421
01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 1: Stidham the right answer for the Patriots at quarterback? Why

1422
01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:46,880
Speaker 1: do you think that? I mean, I think partially, John,

1423
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:49,200
Speaker 1: it's a financial one though they're they're at the point

1424
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 1: right now they don't have the money even to sign

1425
01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 1: their their second draft your second round draft pick Kyle

1426
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:55,080
Speaker 1: dug or the safety from Lenoah Ryan right now. They

1427
01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 1: have to free up some space to do that. And

1428
01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:59,000
Speaker 1: when you look at the fact that there were players

1429
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:02,120
Speaker 1: available like an Andy Alton, like a Cam Newton, you know,

1430
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston, and they went with Jared Stidham. I think

1431
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:08,520
Speaker 1: partly it's a financial position. Partly, although they trust this

1432
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:12,000
Speaker 1: kid in the sense they like the development he showed

1433
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:14,400
Speaker 1: last year from when he came in. You know, during

1434
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:17,280
Speaker 1: rookie minicamp, had sort of struggled and was throwing interceptions

1435
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:19,760
Speaker 1: store and walk throughs when you've got basically trash cans

1436
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:22,640
Speaker 1: out there playing the defensive front and he's still throwing interceptions.

1437
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 1: But during training camp and some of his preseason action,

1438
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:27,520
Speaker 1: they liked where he was going. They liked the sort

1439
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 1: of mental growth they saw from him. He was making

1440
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 1: some veteran reads and throws. So between the two factors,

1441
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 1: they're going to see what they have at him, and

1442
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:36,720
Speaker 1: if it goes south again, we know the AFCAST teams

1443
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 1: they have tough schedules. Bell addressed in twenty twenty one

1444
01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:41,960
Speaker 1: when they have more cap space. The big question for

1445
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 1: New England from everybody outside of that fan base is this,

1446
01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:48,160
Speaker 1: how big a difference did Tom Brady make in that

1447
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:50,720
Speaker 1: whole twenty year run. How good a coach is Bill

1448
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:53,920
Speaker 1: Belichick with this roster the way it sits right now?

1449
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:57,720
Speaker 1: How good does Bill Belichick have to be to do

1450
01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:00,400
Speaker 1: what they've always done win double digit games? Yeah, Steve,

1451
01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:02,520
Speaker 1: I've said that. You know they could go eight and

1452
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 1: eight with this schedule that they have again, they get

1453
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:07,320
Speaker 1: the first place schedule two. So you've got Baltimore kids

1454
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:10,360
Speaker 1: a City, and Houston on the schedule. They could go

1455
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 1: eight and eight, and Belichick might get a lot of

1456
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:14,240
Speaker 1: votes for Coach of the Year, you know, because you

1457
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:16,640
Speaker 1: look it at obviously breaking in a new quarterback. But

1458
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:18,719
Speaker 1: you've got some offensive line issues, and you'll be without

1459
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:21,200
Speaker 1: Dante Skaneki Scarneki, who was a huge part of their

1460
01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:22,920
Speaker 1: success with what he was able to do coach in

1461
01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:25,519
Speaker 1: the offensive line. They've got questions at wide receiver and

1462
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 1: tight end. The defense will still be good, but they

1463
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:30,600
Speaker 1: might be built to be the time of team that

1464
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 1: they were at the start of this run. And that's

1465
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:34,760
Speaker 1: two thousand and one, two thousand and two time frame.

1466
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 1: But this isn't two thousand and one, two thousand and two.

1467
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:39,519
Speaker 1: This is an offensive error. That game is geared towards

1468
01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:42,160
Speaker 1: the offense. You can't jam the receivers off the line

1469
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 1: the way you used to. And so I'm not sure

1470
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 1: a team that's built to win say seventeen fourteen rock fights,

1471
01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:49,000
Speaker 1: that you might have gotten away with that in two

1472
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:50,840
Speaker 1: thousand and one, I don't know if that works in

1473
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:53,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. And so he might have you know, the

1474
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:55,679
Speaker 1: best coaching year of his life, and this team could

1475
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:58,880
Speaker 1: still struggle to get five hundred. Hey, Mark, thanks for this,

1476
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:01,120
Speaker 1: Stay healthy. Thanks coming on the show today. We enjoyed it.

1477
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:05,000
Speaker 1: You guys always a blast. Stay safe, pro to do,

1478
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 1: keep tracking those spikes. I'll do that wide rating next year.

1479
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:12,720
Speaker 1: You don't have time to do that. Mark's Gofield is

1480
01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:16,639
Speaker 1: NFL writer for USA Today's Touchdown Wire. He actually graded

1481
01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:20,599
Speaker 1: all seven all seven of Andy Dalton spikes last year. Steve,

1482
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:24,800
Speaker 1: can you believe that? And this? Yes? I do actually know.

1483
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:28,080
Speaker 1: If it's your listen, if you're doing what you love,

1484
01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:31,880
Speaker 1: you end up in a in an isolation situation doing

1485
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:35,639
Speaker 1: exactly that kind of thing. Right, so um yeah, same

1486
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:38,240
Speaker 1: same reason I cleaned out my humid or yesterday. Right,

1487
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:41,240
Speaker 1: you do it, You'll up. So there you go, Mark

1488
01:09:41,280 --> 01:09:42,720
Speaker 1: for joining us. We're gonna take a break and then

1489
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:44,560
Speaker 1: we're coming back. One Middle's Lide for Center Bike a

1490
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:52,680
Speaker 1: lit to Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio Love Goes Live.

1491
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:55,439
Speaker 1: John Murphy, Steam Casker, You've had a healthy discussion with

1492
01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:57,920
Speaker 1: producer Jay Harris about what to do here. Steve, can

1493
01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:01,599
Speaker 1: you clue me in? We're gonna here we're gonna reset

1494
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:04,599
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're gonna reset

1495
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll, and then we're gonna take maybe a

1496
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:08,160
Speaker 1: phone call if somebody wants to call in, but we're

1497
01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:11,360
Speaker 1: also gonna take these decisions, and then we're gonna then

1498
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:13,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about what was it. Oh yeah, we're

1499
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:16,000
Speaker 1: gonna get to the mail bag at about two thirty.

1500
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:18,080
Speaker 1: I guess about people when we put it out there

1501
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 1: today that if if you want, tweet at us and

1502
01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 1: we'll answer your questions like a mail bag segment, which

1503
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:28,439
Speaker 1: we've never done before, which I think is a huge risk.

1504
01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:32,840
Speaker 1: Oh we've done it. We've done it before. Hey, So

1505
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:34,760
Speaker 1: all right, so I'll start with the Twitter poll. What's

1506
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:36,479
Speaker 1: the best way for the Buffalo offense to take the

1507
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:39,120
Speaker 1: next step this year? We got five hundred votes in

1508
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:42,439
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Sixty nine percent say Josh Allen start to

1509
01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:45,599
Speaker 1: hit on the deep ball. That's pretty commanding lead. Twenty

1510
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:48,800
Speaker 1: four percent say have a more balanced attack, run versus pass,

1511
01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:52,559
Speaker 1: six percent say have created play calling, and one percent

1512
01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:54,320
Speaker 1: have something else in mind. Phone line zone. But if

1513
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:56,760
Speaker 1: you'd like to discuss eight oh three five fifty and

1514
01:10:56,840 --> 01:10:59,800
Speaker 1: total three one eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

1515
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:01,960
Speaker 1: Let's read some of the tweets on this from the

1516
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:05,680
Speaker 1: tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the

1517
01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 1: official moves of the Buffalo Bills. Chris's answers, I think

1518
01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:11,680
Speaker 1: Josh Allen hitting on deep balls inherently helps with the

1519
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 1: other two we think about that, Yeah, I guess it does.

1520
01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:18,120
Speaker 1: Opposing secondaries have to respect deep passing game and are

1521
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:21,759
Speaker 1: less likely to sit on underneath routes and crowd the box. Likewise,

1522
01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:24,479
Speaker 1: the versatility allows Brian be able to open it up. Okay,

1523
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 1: you made a good point there, Chris can't can't argue

1524
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 1: with that. Yeah, if you hit the long ball, that

1525
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 1: changes everything because the defense and now has to defend

1526
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:35,200
Speaker 1: the entire field, even the parts that you're you're not

1527
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:39,200
Speaker 1: gonna threaten. So yeah, the deep ball is a huge

1528
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:41,599
Speaker 1: weapon if you've got under your belt, and the Bills

1529
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:45,639
Speaker 1: have been looking for it since twenty eighteen. So now

1530
01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:50,160
Speaker 1: we'll see. From Tiffany, Yeah, from Tiffany the best way

1531
01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:52,000
Speaker 1: to take the next step. Tiffany says, I would love

1532
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:54,080
Speaker 1: to see our young running backs get more involved in

1533
01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:57,240
Speaker 1: the offense in twenty twenty, getting motor involved in the

1534
01:11:57,360 --> 01:12:01,599
Speaker 1: pass game, especially the screen game. You'sing alusiveness and open

1535
01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:05,160
Speaker 1: space could provide some chunk plays and limiting defenses from

1536
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:09,680
Speaker 1: double teaming our receivers. Well, I didn't there, and that's

1537
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 1: one of the things consistently last year we heard from

1538
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:14,760
Speaker 1: about Murph was the fact that Bills didn't run any

1539
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:17,360
Speaker 1: screenplays or they weren't very effective in doing so. And

1540
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:19,840
Speaker 1: I think it was more of a personnel issue with

1541
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 1: the offensive line than it was with the running backs.

1542
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:24,920
Speaker 1: But I agree, if you've got running backs, I think

1543
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,439
Speaker 1: having a running back, and these two seem to be

1544
01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:31,040
Speaker 1: okay with it, are good at all the stuff we're

1545
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:33,280
Speaker 1: asking them to do, and that you can leave them

1546
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:35,200
Speaker 1: on the field for three downs you don't have to take,

1547
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:39,360
Speaker 1: you know, Devin Singletary off the field and put Zach

1548
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:42,439
Speaker 1: Moss on or vice versa. They both seem to have

1549
01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:45,080
Speaker 1: all the skills you need to do it. Although I

1550
01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:49,479
Speaker 1: don't know if either one is really good enough to say,

1551
01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:52,800
Speaker 1: like a Marshall Faulk type of thing where split them

1552
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:56,040
Speaker 1: out wide as a wide receiver and let them run routes.

1553
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:57,680
Speaker 1: I don't I haven't seen them do enough of that

1554
01:12:58,439 --> 01:13:00,040
Speaker 1: to think they'd be good enough to do that to

1555
01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:02,400
Speaker 1: where the defense would be forced to treat them like

1556
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:04,639
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. That does change some things for him.

1557
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:08,000
Speaker 1: So that's one thing we're gonna have to find out

1558
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:09,760
Speaker 1: about Zach Moss if he can do that. But yeah,

1559
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:13,040
Speaker 1: getting him to do getting him active in both the

1560
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:17,000
Speaker 1: run and the pass ye Allan and their entire offense.

1561
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:19,120
Speaker 1: I have this from the tweet sheets, even you're not

1562
01:13:19,160 --> 01:13:21,599
Speaker 1: gonna like it. The best way for the Wills offense

1563
01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:23,679
Speaker 1: to take the next step. Steven says, the deep ball

1564
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:26,240
Speaker 1: is overrated. You throw a deep ball maybe three times

1565
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:29,240
Speaker 1: a game if you're lucky. Let's focus on the overall

1566
01:13:29,320 --> 01:13:31,400
Speaker 1: game and play calling to get the most out of

1567
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:35,360
Speaker 1: the offense. Steve, you know that's good. I mean I

1568
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:39,840
Speaker 1: like it. Ill he's not. He's not saying our play

1569
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:41,720
Speaker 1: calling is bad, But I think he's right. You got it.

1570
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:43,760
Speaker 1: I think Dave Ball does the job he's supposed to,

1571
01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:49,320
Speaker 1: particularly knowing who he's got on his offense. I like

1572
01:13:49,439 --> 01:13:52,320
Speaker 1: brain Dave Ball a lot as an offensive coordinator. Um

1573
01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:55,599
Speaker 1: and I maybe in the minority for some of our listeners.

1574
01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:59,040
Speaker 1: People are always complaining about the the you know, the

1575
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:02,280
Speaker 1: play calling, the offensive coordinator and I've made the joke

1576
01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:04,720
Speaker 1: a lot that it's the most popular pastime in the

1577
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 1: NFL is making fun of your own team's offensive coordinator

1578
01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:10,639
Speaker 1: because they don't, you know, they don't call the right plays,

1579
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:12,960
Speaker 1: or not creative enough, or they don't use their favorite

1580
01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:15,280
Speaker 1: player enough for they don't throw it enough, or they

1581
01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:19,679
Speaker 1: don't throw this type of play enough. It's it's typical.

1582
01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:24,479
Speaker 1: But for me, being a former player, let me tell

1583
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:30,040
Speaker 1: you that it's the players. Almost all the time, play

1584
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:33,599
Speaker 1: calling is about game planning and knowing what the defense

1585
01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:36,800
Speaker 1: is going to do, and having an anticipatory idea of

1586
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:40,120
Speaker 1: what's going to happen, giving your personnel and your offensive

1587
01:14:40,160 --> 01:14:41,960
Speaker 1: set and your motions and what you've run up to

1588
01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:45,320
Speaker 1: that point. It's it's a strategy, and most people have

1589
01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:49,679
Speaker 1: no idea what that strategy is. But when the player

1590
01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:52,960
Speaker 1: doesn't work, they always blame the guy who called it,

1591
01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:54,720
Speaker 1: not the guys who are running it. And to me,

1592
01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:58,000
Speaker 1: that's backwards. Well, let me ask you for the players perspective.

1593
01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:00,479
Speaker 1: You were a player for several years. What a players

1594
01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:02,880
Speaker 1: think about play calling stuff doesn't work. I'm sure players

1595
01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:06,320
Speaker 1: second guests sometimes the play call right? Why do we

1596
01:15:06,360 --> 01:15:09,400
Speaker 1: call that right? A little bit and and sometimes the

1597
01:15:09,640 --> 01:15:11,680
Speaker 1: coaching staffs gotta have this was a bad call. You know,

1598
01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:13,560
Speaker 1: they'll know. They'll tell you in the next films the

1599
01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:16,080
Speaker 1: next day that when you watch this, we try to

1600
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:17,800
Speaker 1: do this, and here's what happened. This was a bad

1601
01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:19,840
Speaker 1: play call. Because what happened, you know, and they'll give

1602
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:25,400
Speaker 1: you the reasons. It doesn't happen very often because it's easy.

1603
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:27,120
Speaker 1: You can. When you call any play on in your

1604
01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:31,360
Speaker 1: playbook against any defense, there are things that have to

1605
01:15:31,479 --> 01:15:33,439
Speaker 1: happen for it to be successful, and all it takes

1606
01:15:33,560 --> 01:15:36,720
Speaker 1: is for players to make those things happen. So um,

1607
01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:39,840
Speaker 1: every play is designed to go for a touchdown if

1608
01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:44,120
Speaker 1: you run it right. Obviously not a lot of them do,

1609
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:47,840
Speaker 1: so you give your defense a little credit. But also

1610
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:50,920
Speaker 1: it's just being able to dominate your opponent. There's not

1611
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:54,120
Speaker 1: too much dominating going on all over the field in

1612
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:57,240
Speaker 1: the NFL. Those guys are on scholarship too, So um,

1613
01:15:58,080 --> 01:16:00,439
Speaker 1: you look for the you know, you try to surprise defense.

1614
01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:02,920
Speaker 1: You get them with a personnel. Sometimes you get them

1615
01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:05,000
Speaker 1: and it turns out good. But a lot of times

1616
01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:07,120
Speaker 1: you got to give the defense credit. They're built to

1617
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:09,599
Speaker 1: stop everything you do. But if it's if a play

1618
01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:13,840
Speaker 1: is executed perfectly, what do you think supposed to happen? So,

1619
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:19,680
Speaker 1: and whatever you're running against, even that has prevent it's

1620
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:22,240
Speaker 1: built to run against any defense you and certainly a

1621
01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:25,400
Speaker 1: certain defensive sets gives you a better advantage to stopping it.

1622
01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:28,920
Speaker 1: But if you execute it right, it doesn't matter. So

1623
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:32,120
Speaker 1: all that goes into and that's why you know, players

1624
01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:35,120
Speaker 1: tend to take responsibility for that, and it's usually a

1625
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:38,000
Speaker 1: big thing. Well, and we hear about it when a

1626
01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:40,840
Speaker 1: players on the sidelines griping about play calling all that,

1627
01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:43,639
Speaker 1: it's usually not the play caller who gets the has

1628
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:45,720
Speaker 1: the problem. It's that guy saying I want to be

1629
01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:49,200
Speaker 1: get the ball more. It's not about the plays he's

1630
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:52,000
Speaker 1: actually selecting. Steve, what do you think about Stephen? On

1631
01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:56,240
Speaker 1: Twitter's first pronouncement there, he says the deep ball is overrated.

1632
01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:58,160
Speaker 1: You throw a deep ball maybe three times a game?

1633
01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:01,120
Speaker 1: Is it overrated? Yeah? Once a order, But if you

1634
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:06,519
Speaker 1: if you complete one, that's all you need. Success in

1635
01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:08,600
Speaker 1: the deep ball overrated? Do you really need that to

1636
01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:10,719
Speaker 1: have a good offense? Well, the Bills won ten games

1637
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:14,719
Speaker 1: almost completely without it last year, so maybe he's right, certainly,

1638
01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:17,679
Speaker 1: But and the reason we talk about a lot Murph

1639
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:20,599
Speaker 1: is this was a really good football team last year.

1640
01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:23,880
Speaker 1: Certainly it had his deficiencies, and most of those deficiencies

1641
01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:27,360
Speaker 1: centered around two things. One, they couldn't hit the deep

1642
01:17:27,400 --> 01:17:29,519
Speaker 1: ball in two, they didn't score enough points. Now those

1643
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:35,000
Speaker 1: are intertwined. So we're in this conversation because when you

1644
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:37,439
Speaker 1: get down to solving a lot of problems for the Bills,

1645
01:17:37,439 --> 01:17:41,639
Speaker 1: they don't have that many. So that's what you're left

1646
01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:45,240
Speaker 1: talking about your quarterback in his development and the fact

1647
01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:48,200
Speaker 1: that that was the most glaring part of his deficiencies

1648
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:50,400
Speaker 1: was the deep ball. So that's what we're talking about

1649
01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 1: because we're talking about a pretty good team, and while

1650
01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:56,439
Speaker 1: it is overrated, you know, they have solved a lot

1651
01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:58,599
Speaker 1: of the problems they had three or four years ago.

1652
01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:01,840
Speaker 1: Am I right? Right? Because they've had they had better

1653
01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:03,760
Speaker 1: players than the answer or four years ago, and better

1654
01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:06,240
Speaker 1: coaching staff. So we're talking about things that while other

1655
01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:10,000
Speaker 1: places might be overrated, that's all we're left with. Our

1656
01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:12,680
Speaker 1: problems aren't as big and glaring as they once were,

1657
01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:15,720
Speaker 1: and that's a better place to be. Actually, take a

1658
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 1: phone call from Lewis in Buffalo. Hello, Lewis, you're on

1659
01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:20,280
Speaker 1: the air. Are you doing I just wanted to touch

1660
01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:23,960
Speaker 1: on something that Steve said about him not, you know,

1661
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:27,160
Speaker 1: it not really being the coordinator's fault. That's always how

1662
01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:30,760
Speaker 1: the players handle it. So at the end of that

1663
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:35,160
Speaker 1: Bill's Texas playoff game, when we're like mid third quarter,

1664
01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:39,760
Speaker 1: under the third quarter in Singletary gets that twenty four

1665
01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:43,160
Speaker 1: yard run or somewhere run on those lines, why would

1666
01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:46,080
Speaker 1: he the coordinator put the ball into the hands of

1667
01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:50,519
Speaker 1: their young second year quarterback in his first playoff game

1668
01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:53,680
Speaker 1: on the road and have him passed what was it

1669
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:59,439
Speaker 1: thirteen times straight or or at least thirteen out of

1670
01:18:59,479 --> 01:19:02,360
Speaker 1: fifteen something along those lines. Why? Why? How is that

1671
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:04,400
Speaker 1: not the coordinator's fault? That I mean, he's making the

1672
01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:08,759
Speaker 1: decision to make to put the game into our twenty

1673
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 1: two twenty three year old quarterbacks hands on the road.

1674
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:13,720
Speaker 1: I mean, when we're up sixteen, you know, at the

1675
01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:16,000
Speaker 1: point we were, we weren't up as far as we

1676
01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:19,080
Speaker 1: were before. But why why wouldn't I mean, who whose fault?

1677
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:21,719
Speaker 1: Is it? Done? All right? I'll tell you what lewis.

1678
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:26,040
Speaker 1: What do you think happens when you're coordinator? Um, if

1679
01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:30,280
Speaker 1: you snap off a twenty five yard run. And what

1680
01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:33,840
Speaker 1: do you think you do as a defensive coordinator. I

1681
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:36,639
Speaker 1: think that you would play to run more. Now's okay,

1682
01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:39,439
Speaker 1: So what do you do as an offensive coordinator? You

1683
01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:41,479
Speaker 1: passed the ball. But if you're a good enough court

1684
01:19:41,640 --> 01:19:43,880
Speaker 1: or you shouldn't have to pass the ball. Thirteen out

1685
01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:45,840
Speaker 1: of fifteen times it was even more than that. I mean,

1686
01:19:45,880 --> 01:19:48,200
Speaker 1: we saw him not running the ball. We saw him

1687
01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:51,360
Speaker 1: bringing Gore at the end of the game on plays

1688
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:53,560
Speaker 1: where we knew Gore. We knew Gore, I mean we

1689
01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:55,720
Speaker 1: knew where the ball was going. Watching the game, we

1690
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:57,320
Speaker 1: knew where the ball was going. So if we know

1691
01:19:57,400 --> 01:19:59,800
Speaker 1: where the ball is going, let me ask you this, Steve,

1692
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,880
Speaker 1: if you're the Texans defensive coordinator, do you know where

1693
01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:04,519
Speaker 1: the ball is going? And I don't mean that kind

1694
01:20:04,600 --> 01:20:06,479
Speaker 1: of sending. I'm just asking you that you know where

1695
01:20:06,520 --> 01:20:10,400
Speaker 1: the ball would be going. Also, well, I don't know,

1696
01:20:11,040 --> 01:20:15,040
Speaker 1: it depends. I get what you're saying. But I'm telling

1697
01:20:15,040 --> 01:20:17,200
Speaker 1: you this, Lewis, it's easy to sit here, you know,

1698
01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:19,560
Speaker 1: after the game has been played and say I knew this,

1699
01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:23,000
Speaker 1: and I knew that. I just don't think that's true

1700
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:26,800
Speaker 1: for most fans, for any fans, and you can say

1701
01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:30,320
Speaker 1: it's true for coordinators, if there was any doubt, they

1702
01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:33,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't cover guys. They just packed eleven guys up on

1703
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:35,280
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and wouldn't cover those guys if

1704
01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:37,880
Speaker 1: they knew it for one hundred percent fact. So it's

1705
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:39,760
Speaker 1: easy to say, and I know you're exaggerating to get

1706
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:42,640
Speaker 1: your point across where everybody knew this, and everybody knew that.

1707
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:45,880
Speaker 1: The simple fact of the matter is there is some

1708
01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:49,600
Speaker 1: doubt in the defensive coordinator's eyes, and there is a

1709
01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:53,080
Speaker 1: plan behind what the offensive coordinators doing. And certainly too,

1710
01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:56,320
Speaker 1: by the fact that you those guys watch all this film,

1711
01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:58,800
Speaker 1: both on defense and offense, both for the Texans and

1712
01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:01,360
Speaker 1: for the Bills, they get a handle on what they

1713
01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:04,000
Speaker 1: anticipate that defense is going to do. And when you

1714
01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:08,320
Speaker 1: see Josh, when you see day Ball calling whatever you said,

1715
01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:11,519
Speaker 1: thirteen or fifteen throws in a row, it's because they

1716
01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:14,519
Speaker 1: had a handle on two things. One what they thought

1717
01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:18,280
Speaker 1: the defense of the Texans were gonna do, and two

1718
01:21:19,120 --> 01:21:23,160
Speaker 1: what they thought their own quarterback could do against that defense.

1719
01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:26,160
Speaker 1: They didn't call plays they didn't think Josh could execute.

1720
01:21:26,439 --> 01:21:30,200
Speaker 1: They didn't call plays that they thought had no chance

1721
01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:35,920
Speaker 1: of being successful. They thought they called plays that they

1722
01:21:36,080 --> 01:21:38,160
Speaker 1: thought not only would give them the best chance to

1723
01:21:38,240 --> 01:21:41,080
Speaker 1: be successful, but would move them down to the field

1724
01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:44,840
Speaker 1: and score points. And that was because they studied film

1725
01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:46,800
Speaker 1: and tendencies and had a handle on what the defense

1726
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:49,280
Speaker 1: of the Texans was gonna do. So I get what

1727
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:51,639
Speaker 1: you say sitting here, you know, six months after the fact,

1728
01:21:51,680 --> 01:21:54,320
Speaker 1: and saying I knew what they were gonna do. Quite frankly,

1729
01:21:54,360 --> 01:21:56,960
Speaker 1: I don't think we did. And it seems like it

1730
01:21:57,080 --> 01:21:59,800
Speaker 1: after the fact, but you know, I just don't think

1731
01:21:59,840 --> 01:22:01,880
Speaker 1: that it's true most of the time. Thanks for Let's

1732
01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:04,160
Speaker 1: let's go to Tom and Orchard Park. Hello, Tom, you're

1733
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:07,519
Speaker 1: on the air. Hey, Murfay, Steve, Hi, guys doing it good.

1734
01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:12,320
Speaker 1: Hey listen, Steve, I respect you a lot. But you

1735
01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:14,880
Speaker 1: guys went to four Super Bowls, You had three Hall

1736
01:22:14,920 --> 01:22:17,639
Speaker 1: of Famers on the offense, You played one team twice

1737
01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:20,599
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl two times. And you can't sit

1738
01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 1: there and say it's always the players when they didn't

1739
01:22:23,360 --> 01:22:25,639
Speaker 1: have the right because I've coached too, and I've coached

1740
01:22:25,680 --> 01:22:29,000
Speaker 1: with coaches that ran three five defenses without the right personnel,

1741
01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:31,320
Speaker 1: without a big guy in the middle and it didn't work.

1742
01:22:31,720 --> 01:22:33,599
Speaker 1: So when you put the human element and there, there's

1743
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:37,800
Speaker 1: gonna be a mistake. I'll hang up and listen. Yeah,

1744
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:44,720
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't follow. What he's sorry. Experience has

1745
01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:46,599
Speaker 1: to do with that. Is he is he's gone? Now?

1746
01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:49,559
Speaker 1: Is he's saying that you weren't coached right in those

1747
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:51,599
Speaker 1: Super Bowls? I don't know, Maybe maybe saying we're out

1748
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:53,479
Speaker 1: if he yeah, if he's saying we were out coached

1749
01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:56,960
Speaker 1: by by you know, Bill Parcels, when he's got Bill

1750
01:22:57,040 --> 01:22:59,599
Speaker 1: Belichick and Tom Coughlin on that staff, and I mean

1751
01:22:59,640 --> 01:23:01,519
Speaker 1: there's a own list of people that were out coached

1752
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:03,800
Speaker 1: by those guys. And I'm sure Marv Levy has a

1753
01:23:03,800 --> 01:23:08,360
Speaker 1: lot of respect for Bill Parcels and vice versa. Yeah,

1754
01:23:08,439 --> 01:23:10,760
Speaker 1: there are certain instances where the team game plans and

1755
01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:13,200
Speaker 1: you struggle with it. The Bills in Super Bowl twenty

1756
01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:15,759
Speaker 1: five struggled early on with the game plan, the defensive

1757
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:17,800
Speaker 1: game plan of the Giants where they had the two

1758
01:23:17,880 --> 01:23:20,799
Speaker 1: down lineman guys, and then Jim started handing the football

1759
01:23:20,840 --> 01:23:22,479
Speaker 1: off to Therm and we kind of took control of

1760
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:28,320
Speaker 1: the game. What are you gonna do? I agree, there

1761
01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:31,280
Speaker 1: are certain times when a guy gets out coached, no question.

1762
01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:33,920
Speaker 1: I just don't think it happens every time you lose

1763
01:23:33,960 --> 01:23:37,120
Speaker 1: a game. I just want to let that sit there.

1764
01:23:37,120 --> 01:23:38,960
Speaker 1: I think that's right. I think that's right. And the

1765
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:41,599
Speaker 1: one thing about lewis to call before that last one,

1766
01:23:41,680 --> 01:23:45,000
Speaker 1: which I did not understand. But about lewis I need

1767
01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:46,920
Speaker 1: to see what defense the Texans are playing, you know

1768
01:23:46,960 --> 01:23:49,080
Speaker 1: what I mean? That kind of dictates what they're doing

1769
01:23:49,160 --> 01:23:52,360
Speaker 1: with the ball. So Secretary breaks off a big run

1770
01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:55,040
Speaker 1: and now are the Texans loaded up to stop the run? Well,

1771
01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:57,120
Speaker 1: of course you're gonna want to throw maybe thirteen times

1772
01:23:57,160 --> 01:23:59,000
Speaker 1: in a row. If and here's the thing too, if

1773
01:23:59,040 --> 01:24:01,080
Speaker 1: you don't, if you don't complete those now, you don't

1774
01:24:01,080 --> 01:24:03,479
Speaker 1: start killing the Contextans with that throwing game. They ain't

1775
01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:08,120
Speaker 1: gonna change. Yeah, you know thet is, Oh they're killing

1776
01:24:08,160 --> 01:24:09,760
Speaker 1: a sign and run. Let's load up stop the run

1777
01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:12,599
Speaker 1: and force them to throw it. Well, better hurt them.

1778
01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:15,040
Speaker 1: Bro and the Bills weren't able to execute. And I'll

1779
01:24:15,080 --> 01:24:16,719
Speaker 1: tell you this too. One of the things that gets

1780
01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:21,760
Speaker 1: lost in this UM Duke Williams had ten targets in

1781
01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:27,120
Speaker 1: that playoff game. UM. To me, that speaks of two

1782
01:24:27,240 --> 01:24:33,519
Speaker 1: coordinators getting it done, whereas the Bills had John Brown,

1783
01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:38,880
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley, and Josh Allen. To me, he was seeing

1784
01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:41,439
Speaker 1: it right, because the Texans were saying, listen, if you're

1785
01:24:41,439 --> 01:24:43,880
Speaker 1: gonna beat us with Duke Williams, have at it. They're

1786
01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:46,519
Speaker 1: double the team. They're locking down John Brown, they're locking

1787
01:24:46,600 --> 01:24:49,679
Speaker 1: down Cole Beasley and every anybody like Dawson I whoever

1788
01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:53,760
Speaker 1: that guy Duke Williams is. If you can beat us

1789
01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:57,479
Speaker 1: with him, good luck. Well they only hit five of

1790
01:24:57,560 --> 01:25:01,680
Speaker 1: the ten targets, right U, and they ended up not

1791
01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:03,559
Speaker 1: being a productive in the passing game as they wanted

1792
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:05,439
Speaker 1: to be. But I think it says a lot about

1793
01:25:05,560 --> 01:25:08,000
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen saw it, read it and went to

1794
01:25:08,080 --> 01:25:10,280
Speaker 1: the guy he was supposed to go to. Now, Duke

1795
01:25:10,320 --> 01:25:12,639
Speaker 1: didn't come through, couldn't do it, and they defended him. Well,

1796
01:25:13,479 --> 01:25:15,040
Speaker 1: but what are they going to do when the third

1797
01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:18,080
Speaker 1: guy's John Brown? Where they take Cole Beasley and Steph

1798
01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:21,120
Speaker 1: digs Away. Let's see him do that with their fourth

1799
01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:24,479
Speaker 1: cornerback or their third cornerback. Go one on one with

1800
01:25:24,600 --> 01:25:28,280
Speaker 1: John Brown and see if, if if Josh Allen can

1801
01:25:28,400 --> 01:25:33,560
Speaker 1: hit him. I like that matchup now, So it's that

1802
01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:35,560
Speaker 1: should tell you a lot about what was going on

1803
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:41,400
Speaker 1: with those coordinators. The Texans took advantage of a matchup

1804
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:44,680
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen saw it, and they couldn't execute it

1805
01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:46,679
Speaker 1: enough to make it happen. And that's you know, that's

1806
01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:49,080
Speaker 1: why you lose a game in overtime rather than win

1807
01:25:49,160 --> 01:25:51,960
Speaker 1: it by a touchdown or two touchdowns. Talking about the

1839
01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:16,320
Speaker 1: I referenced this earlier, and this is sipping the kool

1840
01:27:16,360 --> 01:27:18,640
Speaker 1: aid in the mail bag. He goes, I hear the

1841
01:27:18,720 --> 01:27:21,280
Speaker 1: things Josh Allen is doing, throwing the rookies in California,

1842
01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:23,960
Speaker 1: going to Florida to throw with the the veterans Brown

1843
01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:27,400
Speaker 1: and digs. His leadership and work ethic is incredible. Incredible

1844
01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:29,680
Speaker 1: My question, and I'm gonna give this some thoughts se

1845
01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:32,120
Speaker 1: if I asked you too as well? Has there sipping

1846
01:27:32,120 --> 01:27:34,400
Speaker 1: the kool Aid's question? Has there ever been a Buffalo

1847
01:27:34,479 --> 01:27:38,439
Speaker 1: athlete that you want to succeed more than Josh Allen?

1848
01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:40,759
Speaker 1: I mean, only fans can answer that. That's who's sipping

1849
01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:43,840
Speaker 1: the kool Aid's asking a question too, But what do

1850
01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:46,519
Speaker 1: you think It's hard to imagine that you would root

1851
01:27:46,560 --> 01:27:49,040
Speaker 1: for a guy more than the root for Josh right now? Well,

1852
01:27:49,080 --> 01:27:50,880
Speaker 1: I was rooting for me a lot when I played,

1853
01:27:50,920 --> 01:27:57,080
Speaker 1: and so but nobody else right now, I'm like, you

1854
01:27:57,200 --> 01:27:58,679
Speaker 1: know what, I'll tell you. I'll give you an instance,

1855
01:27:58,760 --> 01:28:00,800
Speaker 1: merv I'll tell you a story quick. And this may

1856
01:28:00,840 --> 01:28:03,479
Speaker 1: be the only I don't want to bogart this time.

1857
01:28:03,520 --> 01:28:05,800
Speaker 1: But you know who came to my mind when I

1858
01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:09,920
Speaker 1: really wanted to see somebody succeed. I think it was

1859
01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:16,559
Speaker 1: like nineteen eighty six, nineteen eighty seven, and the Russian

1860
01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:20,000
Speaker 1: Red Army hockey team was making its rounds around the

1861
01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:24,600
Speaker 1: world and one of their players defected and it was

1862
01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:27,639
Speaker 1: a big deal, did it? And came across the border

1863
01:28:27,640 --> 01:28:31,920
Speaker 1: in Niagara Falls and the Sabers got it, and I'll

1864
01:28:31,960 --> 01:28:34,560
Speaker 1: never forget. I was in the Old Odd when Alexander

1865
01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:41,720
Speaker 1: mulgilney took the ice for the first time, and the

1866
01:28:42,120 --> 01:28:48,320
Speaker 1: place was electric for a regulars. It was a first seed.

1867
01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:52,840
Speaker 1: It was opening game of the season, and it was

1868
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:56,160
Speaker 1: huge political tension over the fact that this guy defected

1869
01:28:56,200 --> 01:28:58,599
Speaker 1: and what was gonna mean. He didn't even speak English, right,

1870
01:28:58,720 --> 01:29:00,680
Speaker 1: and he'd been there for the summer through May and on.

1871
01:29:00,800 --> 01:29:03,559
Speaker 1: He went to training camp and stuff. He comes out,

1872
01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:07,960
Speaker 1: they dropped the puck and twenty seconds into the game

1873
01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:12,360
Speaker 1: he stuffed sitt in the back of the net. It

1874
01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:17,040
Speaker 1: was unbelievable, and I just thought, man, let's let I

1875
01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:18,760
Speaker 1: hope this guy's good. I don't know, you know, what

1876
01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:20,280
Speaker 1: was it? Is it gonna be worth it? Or how's

1877
01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:21,960
Speaker 1: this gonna go? I hope he's you know. And he

1878
01:29:22,040 --> 01:29:24,640
Speaker 1: goes in and puts it in the back of the

1879
01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:28,760
Speaker 1: net literally twenty seconds into the game. I thought, wow

1880
01:29:28,920 --> 01:29:31,639
Speaker 1: that I just you know, you wanted it to work,

1881
01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:33,200
Speaker 1: you wanted to be cool, you wanted to be a

1882
01:29:33,240 --> 01:29:35,639
Speaker 1: great story. And it turned out right off the bat

1883
01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:39,920
Speaker 1: that it was an amazing story where this guy Alexander

1884
01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:43,600
Speaker 1: will Gilly, young kid, came to America and did it.

1885
01:29:43,920 --> 01:29:45,920
Speaker 1: I just looked it up. It was nineteen eighty nine.

1886
01:29:45,920 --> 01:29:48,519
Speaker 1: Were you there, Steve, Yeah? Were you in the audio?

1887
01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:50,080
Speaker 1: I was, yeah. When I was up in the press

1888
01:29:50,200 --> 01:29:51,640
Speaker 1: box in the yard, I remember there was a guy.

1889
01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:53,840
Speaker 1: There was another Russian guy who it was funny. He

1890
01:29:53,960 --> 01:29:56,920
Speaker 1: was you know, you saw him on the news reels

1891
01:29:56,920 --> 01:29:59,120
Speaker 1: and stuff and he was kind of the interpreter or whatever.

1892
01:29:59,720 --> 01:30:01,519
Speaker 1: And of course, back then, you know, you weren't allowed

1893
01:30:01,560 --> 01:30:04,960
Speaker 1: to video a live sporting event because they were all

1894
01:30:05,120 --> 01:30:08,120
Speaker 1: you know, copyright stuff. Right, there's this he doesn't know.

1895
01:30:08,520 --> 01:30:11,720
Speaker 1: This Russian guy is sitting like twelve rows ahead of me.

1896
01:30:11,800 --> 01:30:14,000
Speaker 1: He got really good seats up behind the bench. He's

1897
01:30:14,040 --> 01:30:16,000
Speaker 1: got this one of the old cam quarters, remember, and

1898
01:30:16,040 --> 01:30:18,760
Speaker 1: they were the size of a you know, like an encyclopedia. Right,

1899
01:30:18,760 --> 01:30:21,519
Speaker 1: because sitting upon his shoulder, right, he's not even eadn't

1900
01:30:21,520 --> 01:30:24,479
Speaker 1: apologize or anything. He's got this video thing and he's

1901
01:30:24,560 --> 01:30:29,519
Speaker 1: taken home videos of mcgilney obviously, so he could send

1902
01:30:29,600 --> 01:30:33,000
Speaker 1: it back to the Soviet Union, right, so his family

1903
01:30:33,080 --> 01:30:36,120
Speaker 1: whoever could see it, and you know, it was totally illegal,

1904
01:30:36,760 --> 01:30:39,600
Speaker 1: and nobody even tapped him on the shoulder, right, He

1905
01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:42,760
Speaker 1: got the whole thing and mcgilny comes off the ice,

1906
01:30:42,880 --> 01:30:44,599
Speaker 1: looks up at him, and the guy kind of gives

1907
01:30:44,640 --> 01:30:46,360
Speaker 1: him the thumbs up. So, yeah, I got it. He

1908
01:30:47,040 --> 01:30:50,400
Speaker 1: scores a goal twenty seconds in. I never forget it

1909
01:30:50,600 --> 01:30:53,920
Speaker 1: was great. So for me, that was you know, before

1910
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:56,120
Speaker 1: he before he actually came in and turned into this

1911
01:30:56,760 --> 01:31:00,240
Speaker 1: goal scoring machine. I was really hoping that he would

1912
01:31:00,240 --> 01:31:02,840
Speaker 1: be successful because of what he had gone through. It

1913
01:31:02,920 --> 01:31:04,960
Speaker 1: was pretty cool. I was. That's a good question that

1914
01:31:05,040 --> 01:31:06,920
Speaker 1: sipping the kool aid asked, who has ever been a

1915
01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:10,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo sports figure that you've rooted for harder than people

1916
01:31:10,320 --> 01:31:12,360
Speaker 1: seem to be rooting for Josh Allen. Now maybe there's

1917
01:31:12,360 --> 01:31:14,280
Speaker 1: a Twitter poll. All right, we got a break here.

1918
01:31:14,320 --> 01:31:15,960
Speaker 1: When we come back, we're going to talk with Ron

1923
01:31:30,760 --> 01:31:33,120
Speaker 1: The hit resulted in a seventy five thousand dollars. Fine

1924
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:37,240
Speaker 1: Steelers president Art Rooney said he is very certain nothing

1925
01:31:37,320 --> 01:31:40,120
Speaker 1: like this happened. Harrison himself as weighed in on Instagram

1926
01:31:40,439 --> 01:31:43,000
Speaker 1: post to the lengthy statement in which he denied there

1927
01:31:43,120 --> 01:31:45,680
Speaker 1: was anything like the original Boundy Gate, in which the

1928
01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:48,479
Speaker 1: Saints were found to have assistant rewarding players or injury

1929
01:31:48,560 --> 01:31:52,040
Speaker 1: causing hits. Harrison said that did not happen here. Arrest

1930
01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:54,799
Speaker 1: Quaren Teman issued in South Florida for a Giant cornerback

1931
01:31:54,840 --> 01:31:58,960
Speaker 1: DeAndre Baker and Seattle cornerback Quentin Dunbar and connect you

1932
01:31:58,960 --> 01:32:02,080
Speaker 1: with an armed robbery investigation. The incident took place laid

1933
01:32:02,160 --> 01:32:05,000
Speaker 1: Wednesday night at a party that started Wednesday night. According

1934
01:32:05,080 --> 01:32:07,479
Speaker 1: to the arrest warrant, Baker and Dunbar are accused of

1935
01:32:07,920 --> 01:32:12,160
Speaker 1: stealing money and watches with force, armed with semi automatic firearms,

1936
01:32:12,439 --> 01:32:15,519
Speaker 1: and says Baker intentionally threatened victims with one of the guns.

1937
01:32:15,920 --> 01:32:18,800
Speaker 1: Sean Payton, Saints coach, not surprise, the NFL plans to

1938
01:32:19,240 --> 01:32:21,920
Speaker 1: end its one year experiment of allowing pass interference calls

1939
01:32:21,960 --> 01:32:24,679
Speaker 1: to be reviewed by replay. According to a radio station

1940
01:32:24,720 --> 01:32:27,560
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. Payton said it became clear last season the

1941
01:32:27,640 --> 01:32:30,120
Speaker 1: league was not prepared to enforce that rule and monitor

1942
01:32:30,320 --> 01:32:33,080
Speaker 1: the correct application of the rule. Peyton was a driving

1943
01:32:33,160 --> 01:32:36,680
Speaker 1: force behind the league's groundbreaking decision to allow pass interference

1944
01:32:36,720 --> 01:32:39,280
Speaker 1: calls to be reviewed for the first time. Last season,

1945
01:32:39,479 --> 01:32:42,240
Speaker 1: he was a victim of a controversial MISSPI call in

1946
01:32:42,360 --> 01:32:46,240
Speaker 1: the twenty eighteen NFC Championship Game. Matthew Stafford has sold

1947
01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:48,759
Speaker 1: his house in Detroit, but he says he's still interested

1948
01:32:48,840 --> 01:32:51,479
Speaker 1: in playing with the Detroit Lion. Tea and his family

1949
01:32:51,560 --> 01:32:54,600
Speaker 1: put their five bedroom, seven bathroom suburban Detroit home on

1950
01:32:54,680 --> 01:32:58,200
Speaker 1: the market yesterday for six point five million dollars. And

Speaker 1: with Ron Wolfley. Hello, Ron, John Murphy's team Tanker in Buffalo.

1960
01:33:23,160 --> 01:33:28,080
Speaker 1: Thanks coming on Murph, Tad, How are we doing. We're

1962
01:33:30,960 --> 01:33:33,120
Speaker 1: you and great to talk with you. Um, what's it

1963
01:33:33,200 --> 01:33:36,800
Speaker 1: been like out in sunny Arizona with the shutdown, with

1964
01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:39,639
Speaker 1: the quarantine and the coronavirus pandemic. How are you guys

1965
01:33:39,680 --> 01:33:42,960
Speaker 1: getting by with it? You know, it's just a weird,

1966
01:33:43,320 --> 01:33:46,080
Speaker 1: weird thing. I think we all understand this, right. It's

1967
01:33:46,120 --> 01:33:48,600
Speaker 1: no different from anywhere else for the most part. But

1968
01:33:49,520 --> 01:33:54,559
Speaker 1: you know, people are getting out. I hear Queen literally

1969
01:33:54,680 --> 01:33:57,760
Speaker 1: every day singing the song I like to write my

1970
01:33:57,920 --> 01:34:01,360
Speaker 1: bicycle because that's what we do. We get on bikes.

1971
01:34:02,040 --> 01:34:04,519
Speaker 1: You know. I've got two young children at a twelve

1972
01:34:04,600 --> 01:34:08,720
Speaker 1: year old, ten year old, myself and the Warrior Queen.

1973
01:34:08,840 --> 01:34:10,719
Speaker 1: We get out on the bike and we drive around

1974
01:34:10,720 --> 01:34:13,320
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood and you know, they're just trying to

1975
01:34:13,400 --> 01:34:17,439
Speaker 1: stay active. But what age What a weird weird day

1976
01:34:17,840 --> 01:34:21,800
Speaker 1: we are living in. But you're yourself and who when

1977
01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:24,560
Speaker 1: you ride back to with the Warrior Queen. Yeah, the

1978
01:34:24,600 --> 01:34:31,280
Speaker 1: Warrior Queen my wife. Okay, that's sorry about that, Murph,

1979
01:34:31,600 --> 01:34:35,639
Speaker 1: that's what I Queen Wolf. How has it been keeping

1980
01:34:35,760 --> 01:34:38,320
Speaker 1: up with the Arizona car because it certainly looks like

1981
01:34:38,840 --> 01:34:40,880
Speaker 1: it's it's one of those fun rides. You guys are

1982
01:34:40,960 --> 01:34:43,920
Speaker 1: on the up right before you know, before this season starts.

1983
01:34:44,360 --> 01:34:47,400
Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons in the draft. Kyler Murray's got a year

1984
01:34:47,520 --> 01:34:49,840
Speaker 1: under his belt, seems to be coming around and really,

1985
01:34:50,160 --> 01:34:51,720
Speaker 1: you know, got his feet under him at the last

1986
01:34:51,760 --> 01:34:54,559
Speaker 1: half of last season. What's the what's the vibe about

1987
01:34:54,600 --> 01:34:59,400
Speaker 1: in Arizona about your team? Yeah, as you know, I mean, listen,

1988
01:35:00,120 --> 01:35:03,560
Speaker 1: if they have improved a lost and tremendously this offseason.

1989
01:35:04,680 --> 01:35:07,400
Speaker 1: Now it's all on paper. It's all on paper, and

1990
01:35:07,600 --> 01:35:11,280
Speaker 1: you don't win any games on paper whatsoever. But right

1991
01:35:11,360 --> 01:35:14,880
Speaker 1: now looking at it, they have upgraded their roster significantly.

1992
01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:20,320
Speaker 1: Steve kind has done an incredible job defensively that it

1993
01:35:20,560 --> 01:35:24,240
Speaker 1: was a huge problem last year for them. They have

1994
01:35:24,400 --> 01:35:27,040
Speaker 1: really upgraded. Got one of your guys, as a matter

1995
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:30,120
Speaker 1: of fact, George Phillips. They've brought him in. They're going

1996
01:35:30,160 --> 01:35:33,320
Speaker 1: to stick him at the three technique inside of Chandler Jones.

1997
01:35:33,800 --> 01:35:35,720
Speaker 1: They think that they're going to have a nice little

1998
01:35:35,840 --> 01:35:40,080
Speaker 1: combination there in terms of those two guys rushing the passer.

1999
01:35:41,800 --> 01:35:44,559
Speaker 1: They also got Devon Canard, of course, to line up

2000
01:35:44,600 --> 01:35:48,240
Speaker 1: the opposite of Chandler Jones, Devondre Campbell to play that

2001
01:35:48,400 --> 01:35:52,559
Speaker 1: weekside inside linebacker to cover tight ends. Tight ends scored

2002
01:35:52,680 --> 01:35:57,680
Speaker 1: eighteen touchdowns against Arizona Cardinals in twenty nineteen, if you

2003
01:35:57,720 --> 01:36:00,800
Speaker 1: can imagine that. So they've up great to their roster

2004
01:36:01,040 --> 01:36:04,360
Speaker 1: significantly on the defensive side of the ball, and then guys,

2005
01:36:04,800 --> 01:36:06,920
Speaker 1: you go to the offensive side of the ball. And

2006
01:36:07,040 --> 01:36:10,080
Speaker 1: not only is that Kyler Murray a year two of course,

2007
01:36:10,479 --> 01:36:16,760
Speaker 1: but we're talking about the acquisition of DeAndre Hopkins. You

2008
01:36:16,920 --> 01:36:20,639
Speaker 1: gotta be kidding me. Eleven personnel is what this team's

2009
01:36:20,720 --> 01:36:24,559
Speaker 1: number one personnel group will be going forward. That's one back,

2010
01:36:24,680 --> 01:36:28,160
Speaker 1: one tight end, three wide receivers. And those three wide

2011
01:36:28,240 --> 01:36:32,479
Speaker 1: receivers are going to be Larry Fitzgerald, DeAndre Hopkins in

2012
01:36:32,640 --> 01:36:37,559
Speaker 1: Christian Current and they love that combination of those three guys,

2013
01:36:38,040 --> 01:36:42,240
Speaker 1: and then Kenyan Drake as the lending back. So the

2014
01:36:42,600 --> 01:36:46,000
Speaker 1: error was pointing up. But Kas and you know this,

2015
01:36:46,760 --> 01:36:52,000
Speaker 1: This is this is warning, warning, warning to me. This

2016
01:36:52,280 --> 01:36:57,560
Speaker 1: is be aware because anytime you have the media and

2017
01:36:57,680 --> 01:37:01,679
Speaker 1: the media is proclaiming you all they've won the off season,

2018
01:37:01,880 --> 01:37:05,479
Speaker 1: isn't that right? Let's Ryan, They've won the off season,

2019
01:37:05,880 --> 01:37:08,320
Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden, they look really good.

2020
01:37:08,560 --> 01:37:12,360
Speaker 1: And boy, that can seep into a locker room and

2021
01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:16,240
Speaker 1: disploy you solve. It's going to be a situation where

2022
01:37:16,280 --> 01:37:18,080
Speaker 1: the leaders and they're gonna have to step up in

2023
01:37:18,160 --> 01:37:21,599
Speaker 1: that locker room and say, you know what, we hadn't

2024
01:37:21,640 --> 01:37:25,360
Speaker 1: done anything yet. Yeah, house Cliff Kingsbury handling that, and

2025
01:37:25,439 --> 01:37:27,080
Speaker 1: what do you think of him after his first year's

2026
01:37:27,120 --> 01:37:31,360
Speaker 1: head coach man, I gotta tell you, when Cliff came in,

2027
01:37:32,479 --> 01:37:34,599
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you, boys, I was a little spe

2028
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:37,920
Speaker 1: you know, just skeptical as to how he was going

2029
01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:41,439
Speaker 1: to do, as a lot of people were. Can you imagine.

2030
01:37:41,560 --> 01:37:45,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you're hiring a coach that basically got fired

2031
01:37:45,280 --> 01:37:49,040
Speaker 1: from his college job. You're hiring him. He was an

2032
01:37:49,120 --> 01:37:52,920
Speaker 1: offensive court at USC, took the job over there, and

2033
01:37:53,040 --> 01:37:57,040
Speaker 1: you're hiring him now. I just it was a bold,

2034
01:37:57,800 --> 01:38:02,599
Speaker 1: bold move by Steve. And I give Steve Kyne all

2035
01:38:02,680 --> 01:38:06,320
Speaker 1: the credit in the world because he pivoted on an

2036
01:38:06,520 --> 01:38:11,160
Speaker 1: axis back to back two years where he knew, my goodness,

2037
01:38:11,200 --> 01:38:14,200
Speaker 1: you know what we made on the stake. He admitted it.

2038
01:38:14,600 --> 01:38:19,000
Speaker 1: He pivoted away from it, and the franchise appears to

2039
01:38:19,080 --> 01:38:22,040
Speaker 1: be on the right track because of it right now.

2040
01:38:22,240 --> 01:38:26,679
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know what, a lot of question marks,

2041
01:38:27,240 --> 01:38:31,120
Speaker 1: but the arrow was pointing out for these guys. Ron Wolfley,

2042
01:38:31,120 --> 01:38:33,120
Speaker 1: our guests, Ron I was telling seem earlier on our

2043
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:36,720
Speaker 1: show today last August, and I know where I was.

2044
01:38:36,800 --> 01:38:39,800
Speaker 1: I was watching the Cardinals in a nationally televised preseason game.

2045
01:38:39,880 --> 01:38:41,840
Speaker 1: We were in Carolina getting ready to play the Panthers

2046
01:38:41,880 --> 01:38:44,479
Speaker 1: the next night. I was stunned to how badly they look,

2047
01:38:44,520 --> 01:38:46,719
Speaker 1: and I was worried about kings Mury, worried about Kyler Murray.

2048
01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:48,920
Speaker 1: I mean, they had problems with false starts. They couldn't

2049
01:38:48,920 --> 01:38:51,320
Speaker 1: even get the snap off. Something happened right during the

2050
01:38:51,360 --> 01:38:53,559
Speaker 1: course of that year. They pulled themselves together pretty quickly,

2051
01:38:53,640 --> 01:38:56,439
Speaker 1: didn't they. Yeah, there's no doubt about it. They came

2052
01:38:56,479 --> 01:38:58,760
Speaker 1: out here in guys. I really do believe this. I

2053
01:38:58,960 --> 01:39:01,720
Speaker 1: think that Cliff King Barry came in here with the

2054
01:39:01,840 --> 01:39:04,760
Speaker 1: idea that we're going to run the air rate. Now.

2055
01:39:04,960 --> 01:39:07,639
Speaker 1: I mean that I think was his plan. We're gonna

2056
01:39:07,680 --> 01:39:09,880
Speaker 1: go ahead, We're going to run the air raid offense,

2057
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:13,960
Speaker 1: get into ten personnel right one back, no tight ends,

2058
01:39:14,360 --> 01:39:17,120
Speaker 1: four wide receivers, and bought a Bang bought a boom,

2059
01:39:17,160 --> 01:39:18,960
Speaker 1: We're going to run the air rate. Well, you know

2060
01:39:19,000 --> 01:39:21,639
Speaker 1: if that actually worked, believe or not. They actually had

2061
01:39:21,680 --> 01:39:24,240
Speaker 1: some nice, nice games where they went out and played

2062
01:39:24,520 --> 01:39:27,519
Speaker 1: in between the twenties very very well. But man, once

2063
01:39:27,560 --> 01:39:29,760
Speaker 1: you got into the red zone, that Cardos had all

2064
01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:32,639
Speaker 1: sorts of problem scoring touchdowns. As a matter of fact,

2065
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:35,599
Speaker 1: through the first month of September, they were the worst

2066
01:39:35,680 --> 01:39:38,760
Speaker 1: team in the National Football League in terms of red

2067
01:39:38,920 --> 01:39:43,560
Speaker 1: zone offense, right converting possessions into touchdowns. Well, hey, just

2068
01:39:44,840 --> 01:39:46,720
Speaker 1: we're awful. I had to get away from that, and

2069
01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:50,360
Speaker 1: that's what they did. They started using eleven personnel as

2070
01:39:50,439 --> 01:39:52,920
Speaker 1: I set one tight end, three wide receivers in the

2071
01:39:53,080 --> 01:39:57,040
Speaker 1: running back, and suddenly Kyler Murray started to find a

2072
01:39:57,120 --> 01:40:00,599
Speaker 1: little footing with that personnel group. And then they went

2073
01:40:00,640 --> 01:40:04,960
Speaker 1: to twelve personnel, one back, two tight ends, and Kyler

2074
01:40:05,040 --> 01:40:08,040
Speaker 1: Murray got better with that by the time they played

2075
01:40:08,080 --> 01:40:11,720
Speaker 1: in Week sixteen, actually, yeah, week sixteen. By the time

2076
01:40:11,760 --> 01:40:16,800
Speaker 1: they played Seattle, they dressed four tight ends for that game.

2077
01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:21,320
Speaker 1: The evolution of the offense guys went from four wide

2078
01:40:21,920 --> 01:40:25,800
Speaker 1: to the leak tight ends. That's why it's solf fascinated

2079
01:40:25,880 --> 01:40:28,280
Speaker 1: to me and I know you guys know this, but

2080
01:40:28,720 --> 01:40:32,120
Speaker 1: in this new age, new era offense that is seeping

2081
01:40:32,320 --> 01:40:36,000
Speaker 1: into the National Football League, on one end of the spectrum,

2082
01:40:36,080 --> 01:40:38,840
Speaker 1: you've got the Kansas City Chiefs, but there's three wide

2083
01:40:38,880 --> 01:40:42,680
Speaker 1: receivers set and eleven personnel. On the other end of

2084
01:40:42,800 --> 01:40:45,920
Speaker 1: this new age, new era offense, you've got the Baltimore

2085
01:40:46,040 --> 01:40:49,560
Speaker 1: Ravens with a lot of thirteen personnel, one back and

2086
01:40:49,760 --> 01:40:53,360
Speaker 1: three tight ends. Well, I think the Arizona Colonels are

2087
01:40:53,360 --> 01:40:55,880
Speaker 1: going to be right in the middle of that, right.

2088
01:40:55,960 --> 01:40:58,760
Speaker 1: They've got a quarterback that they view as a guy

2089
01:40:58,840 --> 01:41:02,040
Speaker 1: in Kyler Murray. That's a little bit of Patrick Mahomes

2090
01:41:02,360 --> 01:41:04,840
Speaker 1: and a little bit of them Aart Jackson. And the

2091
01:41:05,040 --> 01:41:09,479
Speaker 1: blending of those two offenses, in particular with the skill

2092
01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:12,800
Speaker 1: set up their two quarterbacks. Guys, I think it's what

2093
01:41:12,920 --> 01:41:14,560
Speaker 1: the Cuddles are going to try to do here in

2094
01:41:14,640 --> 01:41:18,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Yeah, and I agree with you. Well, if

2095
01:41:18,160 --> 01:41:20,280
Speaker 1: it's all about using your players are the best of

2096
01:41:20,320 --> 01:41:22,160
Speaker 1: their abilities and give them what it takes to let

2097
01:41:22,240 --> 01:41:25,720
Speaker 1: them succeed, and you're still doing that this offseason, trying

2098
01:41:25,720 --> 01:41:28,280
Speaker 1: to get better. I mean, I think Isaiah Simmons, the

2099
01:41:28,360 --> 01:41:32,280
Speaker 1: kids you picked out of Clemson is a phenomenal athlete.

2100
01:41:32,400 --> 01:41:34,960
Speaker 1: Is gonna make a difference for those tight ends catching

2101
01:41:35,040 --> 01:41:37,920
Speaker 1: touchdowns against your defense? And I know you've all got

2102
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:40,200
Speaker 1: one of the Bills players from here, Jordan Phillips, who

2103
01:41:40,520 --> 01:41:42,320
Speaker 1: really had his best years as a pro here in

2104
01:41:42,400 --> 01:41:45,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo and had his best year as a pro this

2105
01:41:45,200 --> 01:41:49,040
Speaker 1: last year. So they're really attacking it on all fronts.

2106
01:41:49,120 --> 01:41:51,800
Speaker 1: Talk a little bit about their defense. Do you think

2107
01:41:51,840 --> 01:41:54,360
Speaker 1: these new additions with Simmons and guys like Jordan Phillips,

2108
01:41:54,680 --> 01:41:57,479
Speaker 1: you put him in there with with Chandler Jones, how

2109
01:41:57,520 --> 01:42:01,599
Speaker 1: good could their defense be? Gone? About it? As I mean, honestly,

2110
01:42:01,640 --> 01:42:03,920
Speaker 1: I want to ask you guys about Georgian Phillips because

2111
01:42:03,920 --> 01:42:05,720
Speaker 1: you guys knew him better than anybody else that I

2112
01:42:05,760 --> 01:42:07,320
Speaker 1: don't want to do that right now. I want to

2113
01:42:07,320 --> 01:42:10,720
Speaker 1: answer her question, okay, But to me, they're going to

2114
01:42:10,760 --> 01:42:12,559
Speaker 1: be a lot better than The reason why they're going

2115
01:42:12,600 --> 01:42:14,360
Speaker 1: to be a lot better is because, first of all,

2116
01:42:14,439 --> 01:42:16,960
Speaker 1: Pat p is not going to miss the first six

2117
01:42:17,120 --> 01:42:20,719
Speaker 1: games of the season. Patrick Peterson that I first shut

2118
01:42:20,800 --> 01:42:23,479
Speaker 1: down corner. Of course, as you guys know, he was

2119
01:42:23,560 --> 01:42:27,599
Speaker 1: suspended the first six weeks weeks of the season He's

2120
01:42:27,640 --> 01:42:31,360
Speaker 1: not going to miss any time. Not only that, Robert Alford,

2121
01:42:31,680 --> 01:42:34,960
Speaker 1: the tight at the cornerback. I'm sorry that they signed

2122
01:42:35,080 --> 01:42:38,160
Speaker 1: from the Atlanta Falcons. After the Falcons let them go,

2123
01:42:38,320 --> 01:42:42,120
Speaker 1: they picked up Robert Alfred signed him as a free agent.

2124
01:42:42,240 --> 01:42:45,640
Speaker 1: This is a guy. He's the most talented corner that

2125
01:42:45,760 --> 01:42:49,160
Speaker 1: the Arizona couples have had opposite of Pat p since

2126
01:42:49,240 --> 01:42:53,160
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson showed up. He's the most talented. Now you've

2127
01:42:53,200 --> 01:42:57,120
Speaker 1: got a number three corner in Byron Murphy as well.

2128
01:42:57,600 --> 01:43:01,400
Speaker 1: Those three guys they see on real really good about advance.

2129
01:43:01,520 --> 01:43:06,439
Speaker 1: Joseph is a man cover defensive coordinator close the middle

2130
01:43:06,479 --> 01:43:09,120
Speaker 1: of the field with the safety play man across the

2131
01:43:09,240 --> 01:43:15,439
Speaker 1: board and bring some complex blitz and pressure packages, especially

2132
01:43:15,520 --> 01:43:18,400
Speaker 1: on thows down right. So I think they look at

2133
01:43:18,439 --> 01:43:21,559
Speaker 1: the corner position first, and as you know it has

2134
01:43:21,640 --> 01:43:24,400
Speaker 1: so much of the time, the defensive coordinator is going

2135
01:43:24,439 --> 01:43:27,600
Speaker 1: to look at his secondary and then work towards the

2136
01:43:27,760 --> 01:43:30,880
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. Right, If they're buttoned up on the

2137
01:43:30,960 --> 01:43:34,479
Speaker 1: back end, that's good, Now we'll work towards the line

2138
01:43:34,520 --> 01:43:36,880
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. And I feel that's what they did. They

2139
01:43:36,960 --> 01:43:40,360
Speaker 1: went out and trying to really improve their front seven,

2140
01:43:40,479 --> 01:43:44,080
Speaker 1: improve the box with Jordan Phillips, as I said, right

2141
01:43:44,439 --> 01:43:47,959
Speaker 1: with going out and getting Devondre Campbell into Von Kennard,

2142
01:43:48,360 --> 01:43:51,240
Speaker 1: I think they have seriously upgraded. And then a couple

2143
01:43:51,280 --> 01:43:54,439
Speaker 1: of fourth round picks as well, and Lucky flowed two

2144
01:43:54,760 --> 01:43:57,479
Speaker 1: one of the best names ever for a football player,

2145
01:43:57,880 --> 01:44:02,280
Speaker 1: Lucky two gaps, Are you kidding me? And then of

2146
01:44:02,400 --> 01:44:06,439
Speaker 1: course Richard Lawrence out of LSU baked up them guys

2147
01:44:06,479 --> 01:44:09,639
Speaker 1: they really really like right now, and I think we're

2148
01:44:09,800 --> 01:44:14,360
Speaker 1: finally going to see that aggressiveness from Vance Jails of

2149
01:44:14,479 --> 01:44:17,920
Speaker 1: their defensive coordinate because man, did he take a ton

2150
01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:21,280
Speaker 1: of heat last year. He took a ton of heat

2151
01:44:21,680 --> 01:44:24,360
Speaker 1: last year because nobody can cover the tight end. And

2152
01:44:24,479 --> 01:44:27,880
Speaker 1: now you take Isaiah Simmons to wind about this at

2153
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:33,000
Speaker 1: week side inside linebacker, and I hope they don't overload

2154
01:44:33,120 --> 01:44:36,360
Speaker 1: this kid too much, especially when he's a rookie. I

2155
01:44:36,479 --> 01:44:39,080
Speaker 1: hope they go ahead and let him learn one position,

2156
01:44:39,240 --> 01:44:43,839
Speaker 1: let him absorbent the game before they start moving him around.

2157
01:44:44,200 --> 01:44:47,439
Speaker 1: And I think he's going to be a big, big

2158
01:44:47,560 --> 01:44:50,280
Speaker 1: difference from the years on a Gargles. Having said that, guys,

2159
01:44:50,360 --> 01:44:53,639
Speaker 1: can you tell what the number one quality you guys

2160
01:44:53,720 --> 01:44:56,760
Speaker 1: would say about Jodian Phillips, what's the one wood you

2161
01:44:56,800 --> 01:45:02,040
Speaker 1: would use task you first about Jodian Phillips. Well, for

2162
01:45:02,120 --> 01:45:04,560
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, he showed up and he was he

2163
01:45:04,720 --> 01:45:06,800
Speaker 1: was a crowd pleaser. I mean, he wanted the crowd

2164
01:45:06,880 --> 01:45:10,280
Speaker 1: into it. He was a high energy guy on the field.

2165
01:45:10,320 --> 01:45:11,800
Speaker 1: I think I don't think he liked the way it

2166
01:45:11,960 --> 01:45:14,280
Speaker 1: ended for him in Miami. They released him as a

2167
01:45:14,320 --> 01:45:16,320
Speaker 1: second round pick, and he showed up in Buffalo with

2168
01:45:16,360 --> 01:45:18,960
Speaker 1: a little bit of a chip on his shoulder. If

2169
01:45:19,280 --> 01:45:22,479
Speaker 1: that chip is still sitting on his shoulder there in

2170
01:45:22,520 --> 01:45:25,679
Speaker 1: Arizona after signing the contract, you got a pretty good player.

2171
01:45:25,800 --> 01:45:28,160
Speaker 1: That's my take. You want one word run, I would

2172
01:45:28,160 --> 01:45:30,519
Speaker 1: say energy. Steve already said it. He brings energy. And

2173
01:45:30,600 --> 01:45:32,960
Speaker 1: you know, the Bills had a pretty healthy rotation to

2174
01:45:33,080 --> 01:45:35,479
Speaker 1: defensive lineman, so he wasn't playing every down. But when

2175
01:45:35,479 --> 01:45:38,160
Speaker 1: he played, he played hard, and he played fast, and

2176
01:45:38,320 --> 01:45:40,800
Speaker 1: he's a he's a good pass rusher and pretty solid

2177
01:45:40,840 --> 01:45:43,400
Speaker 1: against the run. But he just brings energy. As Steve said,

2178
01:45:43,439 --> 01:45:46,040
Speaker 1: he became a crowd favorite. He's kind of quiet to

2179
01:45:46,120 --> 01:45:48,360
Speaker 1: talk to on our show, you'd ever know it was

2180
01:45:48,400 --> 01:45:50,799
Speaker 1: the same guy out there, you know, leading fans in cheers.

2181
01:45:50,880 --> 01:45:52,599
Speaker 1: But I think he's I think he's a good player.

2182
01:45:52,600 --> 01:45:53,800
Speaker 1: I liked the guy a lot, you know, see, A

2183
01:45:53,800 --> 01:45:55,760
Speaker 1: thought that he's a really good player. Yeah. He's a

2184
01:45:55,800 --> 01:45:58,439
Speaker 1: big body too, so he looks you know, you know

2185
01:45:58,520 --> 01:46:01,040
Speaker 1: how that is what he looks really good in the uniform.

2186
01:46:01,120 --> 01:46:03,400
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy takes up some space. You're not

2187
01:46:03,479 --> 01:46:05,840
Speaker 1: gonna you're not gonna push him around with a running back.

2188
01:46:05,920 --> 01:46:07,719
Speaker 1: You know, he'll take on a guard in the center

2189
01:46:07,720 --> 01:46:10,080
Speaker 1: at the three technique if he needs to, and he's

2190
01:46:10,120 --> 01:46:12,280
Speaker 1: gonna hold his ground. So he's a big body dude.

2191
01:46:12,360 --> 01:46:15,160
Speaker 1: That that looks good out there as well. So there

2192
01:46:15,200 --> 01:46:17,839
Speaker 1: you go. Okay, well what do you think? I know, honestly,

2193
01:46:17,920 --> 01:46:20,920
Speaker 1: I love that, you know exactly I do. I hope

2194
01:46:20,960 --> 01:46:23,280
Speaker 1: he takes that ship and buries it in his heart

2195
01:46:23,640 --> 01:46:28,679
Speaker 1: as opposed to putting it on his shoulder, relaxing hopefully.

2196
01:46:28,720 --> 01:46:32,400
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals radio analysts, Hey, what how did you react

2197
01:46:32,880 --> 01:46:35,519
Speaker 1: when you heard not just about the DeAndre Hopkins trade,

2198
01:46:35,560 --> 01:46:37,839
Speaker 1: but when you heard what the how little the Cardinals

2199
01:46:37,920 --> 01:46:39,200
Speaker 1: had to give up to get him? What did you

2200
01:46:39,280 --> 01:46:44,439
Speaker 1: think of that deal? Wolf? Guys? Right now, seriously, there

2201
01:46:45,240 --> 01:46:50,559
Speaker 1: are some sleepy Saturday mornings where I'm barely awake where

2202
01:46:50,640 --> 01:46:54,000
Speaker 1: my eyelids are barely creasy right in there, they're just

2203
01:46:54,200 --> 01:46:56,920
Speaker 1: starting to open, where all of a sudden it dawns

2204
01:46:57,000 --> 01:47:04,719
Speaker 1: on me, We've got dere jump off all of a sudden.

2205
01:47:04,840 --> 01:47:09,519
Speaker 1: Don't no way whether this happened right, And yet I

2206
01:47:09,840 --> 01:47:14,400
Speaker 1: still pinch myself and I think I think anybody that

2207
01:47:14,640 --> 01:47:19,439
Speaker 1: is a football fan, a hardcore football fan, you're still wondering,

2208
01:47:19,720 --> 01:47:25,439
Speaker 1: how did that happen? Well, it did happen, and listen

2209
01:47:25,600 --> 01:47:30,840
Speaker 1: David Johnson. I love David Johnson, what a great, great dude.

2210
01:47:31,360 --> 01:47:35,719
Speaker 1: I absolutely love them. But something has happened to David Johnson.

2211
01:47:35,880 --> 01:47:38,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is, but I wish him well.

2212
01:47:39,040 --> 01:47:41,800
Speaker 1: I know Bill O'Brien is going to put him into

2213
01:47:41,880 --> 01:47:45,960
Speaker 1: that tackle zone like that outside stretch play. That's the

2214
01:47:46,160 --> 01:47:49,160
Speaker 1: play he likes the best. He runs it the best.

2215
01:47:49,479 --> 01:47:51,559
Speaker 1: They're going to give him the ball. I think he's

2216
01:47:51,640 --> 01:47:55,120
Speaker 1: probably speaking of that chip. I think he hopefully has

2217
01:47:55,160 --> 01:47:57,639
Speaker 1: got that chip off his shoulder and now will bury

2218
01:47:57,760 --> 01:48:01,040
Speaker 1: it in his heart as well, because this is an

2219
01:48:01,160 --> 01:48:04,200
Speaker 1: ultimate dis Maybe he's going to be motivated, But the

2220
01:48:04,320 --> 01:48:08,440
Speaker 1: fact the Arizona Cardinals got out from underneath that contract

2221
01:48:08,840 --> 01:48:12,920
Speaker 1: and didn't have to pay anything to these instant Texans

2222
01:48:13,360 --> 01:48:18,360
Speaker 1: except the second round pick, and got DeAndre Hopkins on

2223
01:48:18,520 --> 01:48:22,599
Speaker 1: a three year contract left at forty million dollars, got

2224
01:48:22,680 --> 01:48:27,400
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins to come on this team with Larry Fitzgerald. Guys,

2225
01:48:28,320 --> 01:48:32,360
Speaker 1: it is a game changer for the Arizona Cardinals because now,

2226
01:48:32,360 --> 01:48:34,600
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, and I know you guys know this,

2227
01:48:35,640 --> 01:48:38,599
Speaker 1: but defensive coordinators, who do you think they're gonna try

2228
01:48:38,640 --> 01:48:40,720
Speaker 1: to stop? Who do you think they're gonna try to

2229
01:48:40,840 --> 01:48:43,760
Speaker 1: stop when they play the Arizona Cardinals. In terms of

2230
01:48:43,880 --> 01:48:47,160
Speaker 1: them throwing the ball, it's gonna be I think, yeah,

2231
01:48:47,240 --> 01:48:52,439
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be DeAndre Hopkins. Yeah. And I'll tell

2232
01:48:52,439 --> 01:48:54,360
Speaker 1: you what that's Maybe for the first time in Larry

2233
01:48:54,360 --> 01:48:58,040
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald's career, it's not Larry Fitzgerald, it's DeAndre Hopkins. D

2234
01:48:58,240 --> 01:49:01,760
Speaker 1: Ding sing ding ding ding ding cash you win the

2235
01:49:01,840 --> 01:49:05,519
Speaker 1: prize the first time in Larry's career. Now, all of

2236
01:49:05,560 --> 01:49:08,919
Speaker 1: a sudden, Larry might be getting the number three corner

2237
01:49:09,439 --> 01:49:13,599
Speaker 1: from the other team. A number three corner really might

2238
01:49:13,680 --> 01:49:17,720
Speaker 1: be getting him from the opposing team back to me

2239
01:49:17,960 --> 01:49:21,000
Speaker 1: is just incredible. And when you're trying to take away

2240
01:49:21,520 --> 01:49:24,800
Speaker 1: one receiver because you have a wide receiver one, you

2241
01:49:24,920 --> 01:49:28,280
Speaker 1: have a true wide receiver one, and the defensive coordinators

2242
01:49:28,320 --> 01:49:31,880
Speaker 1: trying to take him away. That makes the defense a

2243
01:49:32,080 --> 01:49:36,280
Speaker 1: little bit more predictable. And when you become more predictable

2244
01:49:36,560 --> 01:49:38,880
Speaker 1: as to what you're gonna do, how you're going to

2245
01:49:38,960 --> 01:49:42,519
Speaker 1: try to take away a wide receiver like DeAndre Hopkins,

2246
01:49:43,439 --> 01:49:46,840
Speaker 1: you become easier to be well, we can talk to

2247
01:49:46,880 --> 01:49:48,960
Speaker 1: you a little bit about that. Some other Buffalo Bills

2248
01:49:49,000 --> 01:49:50,600
Speaker 1: in the day, they're like Jordan Phillips. You also have

2249
01:49:50,600 --> 01:49:54,880
Speaker 1: an old offensive line coach from Buffalo, Sean Coogler, And

2250
01:49:55,560 --> 01:49:58,960
Speaker 1: nobody no quarterback in the NFL got whacked more than

2251
01:49:59,320 --> 01:50:02,320
Speaker 1: Murray did last year. He had more sex than ANFL quarterback.

2252
01:50:02,400 --> 01:50:05,680
Speaker 1: What that may be the one elephant in the room

2253
01:50:05,720 --> 01:50:08,400
Speaker 1: that we haven't talked about yet. Can Kyler Murray? Is

2254
01:50:08,439 --> 01:50:12,160
Speaker 1: he going to have time enough to find these great

2255
01:50:12,200 --> 01:50:15,240
Speaker 1: wide receivers that the Cardinals have acquired and have on

2256
01:50:15,320 --> 01:50:18,160
Speaker 1: their roster. Is Kyler Murray's offensive line going to give

2257
01:50:18,240 --> 01:50:21,960
Speaker 1: him a chance to hit those guys? No doubt about it, Guys,

2258
01:50:22,040 --> 01:50:24,800
Speaker 1: I can tell you right now. This is why statistics

2259
01:50:24,960 --> 01:50:29,479
Speaker 1: are very, very dangerous, because if you watched every game

2260
01:50:29,600 --> 01:50:34,680
Speaker 1: that the Arizona Cardinals played Kyler Murray, the indecision sometimes

2261
01:50:34,800 --> 01:50:38,240
Speaker 1: that he would show, not only that, how many times

2262
01:50:38,400 --> 01:50:41,160
Speaker 1: he ran out of bounds a yard behind the line

2263
01:50:41,200 --> 01:50:44,280
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and didn't throw the ball down the field.

2264
01:50:44,880 --> 01:50:49,639
Speaker 1: That's the reason why this misnomer about the Arizona Cardinal's

2265
01:50:49,720 --> 01:50:53,840
Speaker 1: offensive line being horrible, Guys, it's not true. If you

2266
01:50:53,960 --> 01:50:59,720
Speaker 1: watch the tape to understand it is, it's fiction. Is

2267
01:51:00,120 --> 01:51:02,200
Speaker 1: it is. It's one of the reasons why the Cardinals.

2268
01:51:02,320 --> 01:51:05,320
Speaker 1: Yes they drafted a light tackle, there's no doubt about that.

2269
01:51:05,920 --> 01:51:09,200
Speaker 1: Yes they needed to get a right tackle, but Marcus

2270
01:51:09,320 --> 01:51:13,160
Speaker 1: Gilbert might be the best offensive lineman they have, and

2271
01:51:13,320 --> 01:51:16,479
Speaker 1: he's a pull Bowl caliber tackle if he stays healthy

2272
01:51:16,800 --> 01:51:19,640
Speaker 1: at right tackle. The drafted Josh Jones, I don't know

2273
01:51:19,680 --> 01:51:21,880
Speaker 1: if you guys knew that out of Houston in the

2274
01:51:22,040 --> 01:51:24,800
Speaker 1: third round at number seventy two. A lot of people

2275
01:51:24,920 --> 01:51:27,880
Speaker 1: had him going in the second round. Sum actually had

2276
01:51:27,960 --> 01:51:30,559
Speaker 1: him going at the end of the first round as well.

2277
01:51:30,720 --> 01:51:35,439
Speaker 1: But the offensive line, it's incredible the way the national

2278
01:51:35,600 --> 01:51:38,919
Speaker 1: media looks at the Arizona Cardinals. This is an offensive

2279
01:51:38,960 --> 01:51:42,880
Speaker 1: line where they averaged almost five yards to carry. They

2280
01:51:43,040 --> 01:51:45,719
Speaker 1: were able to run the ball, especially when Kenyan Drake

2281
01:51:46,040 --> 01:51:48,439
Speaker 1: took over on that second half of the season. It

2282
01:51:48,720 --> 01:51:52,760
Speaker 1: was light out with the offensive line. Their offensive line.

2283
01:51:52,840 --> 01:51:55,760
Speaker 1: Once again, Yes, am I saying it it's the best

2284
01:51:55,880 --> 01:51:58,840
Speaker 1: offensive line in the league. No way, am I saying

2285
01:51:58,840 --> 01:52:02,040
Speaker 1: it's top ten. No, I'm not saying that. What I

2286
01:52:02,160 --> 01:52:06,040
Speaker 1: am saying is it's not the problem that everyone thinks that.

2287
01:52:06,160 --> 01:52:10,519
Speaker 1: It truly is. Kyler Murray in his decision making was

2288
01:52:10,680 --> 01:52:14,160
Speaker 1: a problem. How many times, guys, I'm talking about eight

2289
01:52:14,280 --> 01:52:17,320
Speaker 1: or nine times he ran out of bowls like young

2290
01:52:17,479 --> 01:52:19,880
Speaker 1: or two behind the line of crimity without throwing the

2291
01:52:19,960 --> 01:52:23,839
Speaker 1: ball away, without getting rid of it. So the decision

2292
01:52:23,920 --> 01:52:26,600
Speaker 1: making of Kyler Murray, Guys, if there's one thing this

2293
01:52:26,800 --> 01:52:30,400
Speaker 1: kid is, this kid is good. This kid is really

2294
01:52:30,520 --> 01:52:33,200
Speaker 1: really good, and we're all jacked up about him. I'm

2295
01:52:33,240 --> 01:52:35,280
Speaker 1: not going to call him a franchise quarterback. And the

2296
01:52:35,320 --> 01:52:37,120
Speaker 1: reason why I'm not going to call him a franchise

2297
01:52:37,240 --> 01:52:40,519
Speaker 1: quarterback is because it takes years to say you're a

2298
01:52:40,680 --> 01:52:44,559
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. To the cargoes think he's a franchise quarterback.

2299
01:52:44,640 --> 01:52:47,600
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. But it takes years of

2300
01:52:48,120 --> 01:52:51,400
Speaker 1: going out on the field and making plays and showing

2301
01:52:51,479 --> 01:52:55,640
Speaker 1: that you're capable, capable of making adjustments when defensive make

2302
01:52:55,680 --> 01:52:58,679
Speaker 1: adjustments to you. And not only that, but you're also

2303
01:52:58,800 --> 01:53:03,120
Speaker 1: capable off the field of making good decision and leading

2304
01:53:03,200 --> 01:53:06,840
Speaker 1: a team that takes us to develop that. But is

2305
01:53:06,880 --> 01:53:11,360
Speaker 1: this kid good? Oh my goodness, he is unbelievable. But

2306
01:53:11,479 --> 01:53:15,559
Speaker 1: the one area he needs to improve is in decision making.

2307
01:53:18,040 --> 01:53:20,200
Speaker 1: I'm believe in your offensive line. I believe in the coach,

2308
01:53:20,240 --> 01:53:22,920
Speaker 1: Sean Kugler. He's from my hometown. He's from a lockboard guy.

2309
01:53:23,120 --> 01:53:25,880
Speaker 1: You know that, right? Wolf? Oh? I do? Oh? Are

2310
01:53:25,880 --> 01:53:28,760
Speaker 1: you kidding me? Coots and I sit around. We talked about, Okay,

2311
01:53:28,800 --> 01:53:32,800
Speaker 1: you're going home. Where are you going to go? Reach? Yeah,

2312
01:53:34,080 --> 01:53:36,200
Speaker 1: I have a feeling he's big on the Hey. Well,

2313
01:53:36,439 --> 01:53:38,000
Speaker 1: one of the things the last question I have for you,

2314
01:53:38,120 --> 01:53:41,240
Speaker 1: Ron is, uh, you know there's Larry Fitzgerald. You're talking

2315
01:53:41,240 --> 01:53:45,040
Speaker 1: about him going against the opponent's number three corner. He's

2316
01:53:45,080 --> 01:53:47,640
Speaker 1: one of my favorite NFL players all times, both on

2317
01:53:47,760 --> 01:53:49,720
Speaker 1: and off the field. Have you ever thought about how

2318
01:53:49,800 --> 01:53:52,240
Speaker 1: fortunate you've been to be around Larry Fitzgerald and watch

2319
01:53:52,360 --> 01:53:55,080
Speaker 1: him take all those snaps with the Arizona Cardinals. He's

2320
01:53:55,120 --> 01:53:58,080
Speaker 1: just a special talent and a special person, isn't he.

2321
01:53:58,960 --> 01:54:01,439
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about a murph. I'm just telling you

2322
01:54:01,640 --> 01:54:04,920
Speaker 1: right now, we all feel very, very blessed and very

2323
01:54:05,040 --> 01:54:10,000
Speaker 1: fortunate to have a guy like Larry Fitzgerald as as

2324
01:54:10,040 --> 01:54:12,760
Speaker 1: a franchise guy. You want to talk about the face

2325
01:54:12,840 --> 01:54:16,920
Speaker 1: of the Arizona Cardinals will be going into a seveneen

2326
01:54:17,120 --> 01:54:22,519
Speaker 1: season class personified. It's one of the reasons why the

2327
01:54:22,640 --> 01:54:25,439
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals have from time to time brought in some

2328
01:54:25,640 --> 01:54:28,600
Speaker 1: guys that might be on the fringe, if you know

2329
01:54:28,680 --> 01:54:31,800
Speaker 1: what I mean, might be on the outside a little bit.

2330
01:54:31,880 --> 01:54:34,600
Speaker 1: Maybe this is a little bit of a character risk. Well,

2331
01:54:34,680 --> 01:54:38,720
Speaker 1: don't worry about it, because Larry Fitzgerald's inside that locker room.

2332
01:54:38,800 --> 01:54:43,760
Speaker 1: The humility of Larry FitzGeralds is striking to me. For

2333
01:54:44,000 --> 01:54:48,440
Speaker 1: all of his accomplishments, everything that he's done, it's it's

2334
01:54:48,720 --> 01:54:51,880
Speaker 1: how humble he truly is. And that's one of the

2335
01:54:51,960 --> 01:54:55,560
Speaker 1: reasons why he's one of the greatest wide receivers of

2336
01:54:55,720 --> 01:54:59,440
Speaker 1: all time. It's because of his humility. Guys that allows

2337
01:54:59,480 --> 01:55:02,440
Speaker 1: you to at yourself and say where do I need

2338
01:55:02,520 --> 01:55:05,520
Speaker 1: to get better? Where do I need to get better?

2339
01:55:05,640 --> 01:55:07,960
Speaker 1: And that's what Larry has done. Hey, I'll tell you

2340
01:55:08,040 --> 01:55:12,760
Speaker 1: this story quickly. Todd Haley offensive coordinator. Right when Ken

2341
01:55:12,920 --> 01:55:15,440
Speaker 1: wizzen Hunt got the job in two thousand and seven,

2342
01:55:15,840 --> 01:55:19,280
Speaker 1: Todd Haley walked up to Larry Fitzgerald, who had already

2343
01:55:19,320 --> 01:55:21,760
Speaker 1: been in the league for three years, already been to

2344
01:55:21,840 --> 01:55:24,280
Speaker 1: the Poll Bowl, already was one of the best wide

2345
01:55:24,360 --> 01:55:26,520
Speaker 1: receivers in the game. And he looked him in the

2346
01:55:26,600 --> 01:55:30,480
Speaker 1: eye and said, you for a one trip pony, you

2347
01:55:30,680 --> 01:55:34,400
Speaker 1: need to catch the ball and stop falling down. You

2348
01:55:34,480 --> 01:55:38,040
Speaker 1: need to catch the ball and run like Anquan Bolden

2349
01:55:38,160 --> 01:55:41,000
Speaker 1: does it. You need to improve your vertical game down

2350
01:55:41,080 --> 01:55:43,040
Speaker 1: the field so we can throw the ball to you.

2351
01:55:43,560 --> 01:55:47,120
Speaker 1: The pet challenge Larry Fitzgerald, And what did Larry do

2352
01:55:48,080 --> 01:55:52,960
Speaker 1: with his humility. He accepted that critique and got better

2353
01:55:53,120 --> 01:55:57,480
Speaker 1: because of it. It's just it's been a pleasure being

2354
01:55:57,560 --> 01:56:01,640
Speaker 1: around this guy. He's a pros pearl Wolf. Has been

2355
01:56:01,680 --> 01:56:03,720
Speaker 1: a pleasure for us having you on. It's great talking

2356

Speaker 1: to you, bro. I hope we crossed paths soon, no

2357
01:56:07,080 --> 01:56:09,800

Speaker 1: eight olds fifty and toll free one eight five fifty

2374
01:57:03,080 --> 01:57:06,000
Speaker 1: two five fifty. Thinking about the Arizona Cardinals games Sunday,

2375
01:57:06,040 --> 01:57:08,320
Speaker 1: No Remember fifteenth, the Bills will be coming off their

2376
01:57:08,640 --> 01:57:11,640
Speaker 1: home game against Seattle and then headed to out West

2377
01:57:11,680 --> 01:57:14,080
Speaker 1: to Arizona right before the bye week. But I would

2378
01:57:14,120 --> 01:57:18,080
Speaker 1: bet Steve that most typical Cardinals fans, and there are

2379
01:57:18,240 --> 01:57:20,600
Speaker 1: a considerable number of them out west there in Phoenix,

2380
01:57:20,600 --> 01:57:22,200
Speaker 1: they probably look at that and say, we can beat

2381
01:57:22,200 --> 01:57:24,960
Speaker 1: the Bills. We can handle them, don't you think, Yeah,

2382
01:57:24,960 --> 01:57:26,880
Speaker 1: I think there's I think there's a lot of teams now,

2383
01:57:26,960 --> 01:57:31,120
Speaker 1: certainly the Bills aren't on automatic. Will you know, win

2384
01:57:31,280 --> 01:57:33,040
Speaker 1: for anybody, I don't think at this point. Because of

2385
01:57:33,120 --> 01:57:35,280
Speaker 1: the season they had last year, in the additions they made,

2386
01:57:35,280 --> 01:57:36,880
Speaker 1: I think most teams are like going, that'll be a

2387
01:57:36,920 --> 01:57:38,400
Speaker 1: tough one. But at home, I think we got them

2388
01:57:38,760 --> 01:57:41,680
Speaker 1: that kind of thing um. And I think the reason

2389
01:57:41,760 --> 01:57:44,080
Speaker 1: it comes from everybody outside of Buffalo's teams to have

2390
01:57:44,200 --> 01:57:48,000
Speaker 1: the same opinion. They don't trust Josh now and I

2391
01:57:48,040 --> 01:57:51,360
Speaker 1: think that's where it comes from. They forget, really how

2392
01:57:51,560 --> 01:57:54,400
Speaker 1: stout the Bills defense. There's don't realize how stout the

2393
01:57:54,440 --> 01:57:57,120
Speaker 1: Bills defense. I think that's the story of most games

2394
01:57:57,200 --> 01:58:00,280
Speaker 1: for Buffalo, for Bills fans is people just areking a

2395
01:58:00,320 --> 01:58:02,560
Speaker 1: back about how good the defense is and how difficult

2396
01:58:02,600 --> 01:58:04,200
Speaker 1: it is to move the football on them is. So,

2397
01:58:04,760 --> 01:58:06,440
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's the one thing that fans

2398
01:58:06,560 --> 01:58:08,280
Speaker 1: from of other teams, even if they get us get

2399
01:58:08,280 --> 01:58:11,720
Speaker 1: the Bills at home, that you know, they forget. Yeah,

2400
01:58:12,400 --> 01:58:14,680
Speaker 1: it's you've you've been the games there and everyone. It's

2401
01:58:14,680 --> 01:58:17,560
Speaker 1: not an intimidating place to play, but it's noisy. I mean,

2402
01:58:17,600 --> 01:58:19,640
Speaker 1: they create quite a lot of noise in that place. Right.

2403
01:58:19,880 --> 01:58:22,400
Speaker 1: It's a it's a nice home crowd. It's good. It's

2404
01:58:22,440 --> 01:58:24,880
Speaker 1: out of the crowd. Yeah. Yeah, it's a good crowd.

2405
01:58:25,360 --> 01:58:28,840
Speaker 1: It's not you know, it would never never be you know,

2406
01:58:28,960 --> 01:58:32,320
Speaker 1: confused with you know, Bills fans or Arrowhead fans or

2407
01:58:32,440 --> 01:58:35,560
Speaker 1: let's see or maybe or maybe Seattle fans. Uh. But

2408
01:58:35,680 --> 01:58:37,879
Speaker 1: it's a good crowd. It's a it's a nice boisterous

2409
01:58:37,920 --> 01:58:42,360
Speaker 1: home crowd. But it's I hate to say like this,

2410
01:58:42,520 --> 01:58:45,200
Speaker 1: but it's a little bit of a you know, California

2411
01:58:45,320 --> 01:58:48,000
Speaker 1: kind of crowd, you know what I mean. You know,

2412
01:58:48,040 --> 01:58:50,920
Speaker 1: they're really you know, like okay, entertain me. You know, Uh,

2413
01:58:51,160 --> 01:58:53,600
Speaker 1: it's crowd. They're not really out there. They don't really

2414
01:58:53,640 --> 01:58:55,560
Speaker 1: feel like they're helping their team win. They're not there

2415
01:58:55,640 --> 01:58:57,640
Speaker 1: for that. And you get that. You certainly get that

2416
01:58:57,720 --> 01:59:00,560
Speaker 1: feeling when you go into a Buffalo game, a Chiefs game,

2417
01:59:00,680 --> 01:59:04,160
Speaker 1: or a Seahawk Fame game. Hey, our Twitter poll today,

2418
01:59:04,240 --> 01:59:06,240
Speaker 1: what's the best way for the Buffalo offense to take

2419
01:59:06,280 --> 01:59:09,360
Speaker 1: the next step? This year got six hundred seventy votes

2420
01:59:09,400 --> 01:59:11,720
Speaker 1: in so far. In sixty six percent two thirty who

2421
01:59:11,800 --> 01:59:14,280
Speaker 1: say it's getting Josh Hallen to connect on the deep pass.

2422
01:59:14,760 --> 01:59:17,560
Speaker 1: Twenty five percent say a balanced attack, run and pass,

2423
01:59:18,040 --> 01:59:20,840
Speaker 1: seven percent say better play calling, created play calling, two

2424
01:59:20,880 --> 01:59:22,920
Speaker 1: percent have something else in mind. Give us a call

2425
01:59:23,040 --> 01:59:25,960
Speaker 1: eight three fifty toll free one eight eight eight five

2426
01:59:26,120 --> 01:59:28,760
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty. We'll discuss that. We can also

2427
01:59:28,840 --> 01:59:33,520
Speaker 1: discuss items in our mailbag. We solicited questions from the mailbag. Steve,

2428
01:59:33,640 --> 01:59:35,960
Speaker 1: let's go ask some of these ross sends in this question.

2429
01:59:36,040 --> 01:59:39,080
Speaker 1: The question is ros says, if they play games with

2430
01:59:39,160 --> 01:59:41,960
Speaker 1: nowhere limited fans, as there's still an advantage to playing

2431
01:59:42,040 --> 01:59:45,360
Speaker 1: at home, it's an interesting question. We had a guest Wednesday,

2432
01:59:45,480 --> 01:59:48,240
Speaker 1: Jonathan Jones from CBS Sports dot Com who wrote about this.

2433
01:59:49,160 --> 01:59:50,960
Speaker 1: He did a three part series on what it might

2434
01:59:51,040 --> 01:59:53,200
Speaker 1: mean to have limited or no fans, and on the

2435
01:59:53,280 --> 01:59:56,839
Speaker 1: fan question, he thinks it would possibly have an impact

2436
01:59:56,880 --> 02:00:01,160
Speaker 1: on how officiating goes if you believe that officiate favors

2437
02:00:01,200 --> 02:00:03,120
Speaker 1: the home crowd, which some people have said they do.

2438
02:00:03,280 --> 02:00:05,920
Speaker 1: There have been studies that say the crowd can impact

2439
02:00:05,960 --> 02:00:08,840
Speaker 1: how an official calls a game. Then maybe no crowd

2440
02:00:08,920 --> 02:00:11,080
Speaker 1: there might impact the officiating a little bit. I don't

2441
02:00:11,080 --> 02:00:13,000
Speaker 1: know if I'm buying it, but I read it. Yeah,

2442
02:00:13,880 --> 02:00:16,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if we would notice that kind of difference,

2443
02:00:16,080 --> 02:00:17,280
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if it's that big a

2444
02:00:17,360 --> 02:00:19,760
Speaker 1: difference that would be discernible to an average fan. But

2445
02:00:19,840 --> 02:00:23,600
Speaker 1: here's what I do think, Murph. Certainly, if all things

2446
02:00:23,640 --> 02:00:26,400
Speaker 1: are considered, think about this though, it's not just that

2447
02:00:26,480 --> 02:00:27,960
Speaker 1: there are no fans in the stands. So if you

2448
02:00:28,000 --> 02:00:30,120
Speaker 1: go into a stadium and there's no fans, you're playing

2449
02:00:30,160 --> 02:00:32,400
Speaker 1: these guys. You still had to travel to get there.

2450
02:00:32,760 --> 02:00:34,840
Speaker 1: They're still in their home locker room and they're kind

2451
02:00:34,840 --> 02:00:37,480
Speaker 1: of so there is an advantage in that way. But

2452
02:00:37,600 --> 02:00:40,120
Speaker 1: think about this, Murph they're talking about, and if this happens,

2453
02:00:40,200 --> 02:00:44,800
Speaker 1: it changes everything for me. Anyway the team's traveling on

2454
02:00:44,840 --> 02:00:48,840
Speaker 1: the day of the game, that becomes better for the

2455
02:00:48,920 --> 02:00:52,800
Speaker 1: home team. I think if they make that concession that

2456
02:00:52,920 --> 02:00:55,960
Speaker 1: the visiting teams can travel day of and just get

2457
02:00:56,080 --> 02:00:59,280
Speaker 1: up there, show up, go to the stadium, play and

2458
02:00:59,360 --> 02:01:03,200
Speaker 1: get out. I think that is. I think it's a

2459
02:01:03,280 --> 02:01:05,800
Speaker 1: big advantage for the home team. I think that makes

2460
02:01:05,840 --> 02:01:09,160
Speaker 1: it a little tougher to show up fresh to the

2461
02:01:09,280 --> 02:01:12,240
Speaker 1: game as a visiting team. If that happens, I think

2462
02:01:12,320 --> 02:01:13,960
Speaker 1: that does up the andy a little bit. I don't

2463
02:01:13,960 --> 02:01:15,920
Speaker 1: think it's as bit, you know, I'm trying to think

2464
02:01:15,960 --> 02:01:18,120
Speaker 1: of how big a difference it would be fans in

2465
02:01:18,200 --> 02:01:22,600
Speaker 1: the stands with a normal night's sleep before or no

2466
02:01:22,840 --> 02:01:25,160
Speaker 1: fans in the stands, traveling the day of the game,

2467
02:01:25,440 --> 02:01:29,080
Speaker 1: getting up early, showing up, playing and going home. It's

2468
02:01:29,120 --> 02:01:31,040
Speaker 1: hard to discern the big difference in that, but I

2469
02:01:31,120 --> 02:01:33,280
Speaker 1: do think there is a more of an advantage if

2470
02:01:33,320 --> 02:01:35,480
Speaker 1: they go the route that teams have to play on

2471
02:01:35,560 --> 02:01:37,240
Speaker 1: the or travel on the day of the game. That

2472
02:01:37,400 --> 02:01:40,920
Speaker 1: makes a difference. I think it would. There's obviously you

2473
02:01:41,000 --> 02:01:43,840
Speaker 1: can't do every game, you know, travel same day, and

2474
02:01:43,920 --> 02:01:46,440
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the bill schedule counting up. You wouldn't

2475
02:01:46,480 --> 02:01:48,400
Speaker 1: want to do it when you're playing at Miami, right,

2476
02:01:48,480 --> 02:01:50,440
Speaker 1: that's too long a flight. Two hour, too long of

2477
02:01:50,520 --> 02:01:51,960
Speaker 1: a flight. You have to get up at like you know,

2478
02:01:52,000 --> 02:01:55,040
Speaker 1: you have to get up at four airport at six,

2479
02:01:55,360 --> 02:01:58,680
Speaker 1: you know, airport as fire. I think Tennessee is an

2480
02:01:58,760 --> 02:02:00,600
Speaker 1: hour and a half, two hours that might be on

2481
02:02:00,720 --> 02:02:02,720
Speaker 1: the edge of it. At New York Jets, Okay, you

2482
02:02:02,760 --> 02:02:04,880
Speaker 1: could do that same day. I mean there's two games

2483
02:02:04,920 --> 02:02:06,760
Speaker 1: at New York and at New England where the Bills,

2484
02:02:08,280 --> 02:02:10,760
Speaker 1: you know, what do I know? But realistically would be

2485
02:02:10,840 --> 02:02:14,160
Speaker 1: able to vot, say, say now, teams in the NFC East,

2486
02:02:14,680 --> 02:02:17,120
Speaker 1: all those teams central, you know, centrally located in the

2487
02:02:17,160 --> 02:02:19,080
Speaker 1: northeast United States, might have a few Some of those

2488
02:02:19,120 --> 02:02:21,960
Speaker 1: teams take take trains or buses to road games when

2489
02:02:22,000 --> 02:02:24,360
Speaker 1: they're playing their components. So I don't know how that

2490
02:02:24,400 --> 02:02:26,920
Speaker 1: would work. I don't know if you could. I don't

2491
02:02:26,920 --> 02:02:29,520
Speaker 1: know how much how that would work. I really don't. Yeah,

2492
02:02:29,520 --> 02:02:31,440
Speaker 1: I don't either. I don't know how big a difference

2493
02:02:31,440 --> 02:02:33,640
Speaker 1: it would be. Certainly, you know, you can't the Bills.

2494
02:02:34,840 --> 02:02:36,880
Speaker 1: It would make a difference because Seahawks can't do it

2495
02:02:36,920 --> 02:02:41,280
Speaker 1: when they come to Buffalo. The Rams can't do it

2496
02:02:41,320 --> 02:02:43,960
Speaker 1: when they come to Buffalo. The Cardinals cannot do it

2497
02:02:44,000 --> 02:02:46,160
Speaker 1: when they come to Buffalo. The Chargers cannot do it

2498
02:02:46,200 --> 02:02:48,640
Speaker 1: when they come to Buffalo. The Broncos couldn't do it

2499
02:02:48,680 --> 02:02:50,960
Speaker 1: when they come to Buffalo. So you know, I don't

2500
02:02:50,960 --> 02:02:53,040
Speaker 1: know if Buffalo would get any benefit because none of

2501
02:02:53,080 --> 02:02:55,800
Speaker 1: those teams would would be able to do unless they

2502
02:02:55,880 --> 02:02:58,520
Speaker 1: really did. Unless those West Coast, way out there west

2503
02:02:58,560 --> 02:03:01,080
Speaker 1: teams were forced to be because of the pandemic all

2504
02:03:01,120 --> 02:03:03,280
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's like, hey, everybody has to travel

2505
02:03:03,440 --> 02:03:07,760
Speaker 1: day of that's an Then it becomes an enormous advantage.

2506
02:03:07,800 --> 02:03:09,960
Speaker 1: You got an LA team flying here to play them

2507
02:03:10,000 --> 02:03:12,920
Speaker 1: the same day. They can't do that, Yeah, they would

2508
02:03:12,920 --> 02:03:14,440
Speaker 1: have to take it. Almost have to be like get

2509
02:03:14,480 --> 02:03:16,520
Speaker 1: a wide, get a couple of wide bodies, get these

2510
02:03:16,560 --> 02:03:18,880
Speaker 1: guys a chance to recline and sleep on the flight, right,

2511
02:03:19,400 --> 02:03:23,920
Speaker 1: that's crazy talk. Yeah, it's crazy talk. So um unless

2512
02:03:23,960 --> 02:03:27,600
Speaker 1: something like you know, crazy like that happens. Um, And

2513
02:03:28,000 --> 02:03:30,480
Speaker 1: believe me, if it came to playing these games and

2514
02:03:30,560 --> 02:03:36,200
Speaker 1: not playing them, that's on the table for everybody. Everybody,

2515
02:03:36,720 --> 02:03:39,000
Speaker 1: same day travel for teams going west to east or

2516
02:03:39,080 --> 02:03:41,360
Speaker 1: East and west. If. I don't think it would come

2517
02:03:41,360 --> 02:03:43,600
Speaker 1: to that, but if it did, yeah, they'd do it.

2518
02:03:44,400 --> 02:03:47,120
Speaker 1: I can't. I disagree. They can't do twenty seven million

2519
02:03:47,160 --> 02:03:49,320
Speaker 1: dollars a game, Yeah you could. You know they do it, Murph,

2520
02:03:49,720 --> 02:03:52,440
Speaker 1: if they had to because of the pandemic. You think

2521
02:03:52,480 --> 02:03:55,040
Speaker 1: they just canceled the season, then, oh, you travel the

2522
02:03:55,120 --> 02:03:57,480
Speaker 1: day before? No, if you if it was not allowed,

2523
02:03:57,680 --> 02:03:59,600
Speaker 1: if the government said, listen, you're not traveling, you're not

2524
02:03:59,680 --> 02:04:01,960
Speaker 1: staying in hotels, you're not doing that. If the government

2525
02:04:02,040 --> 02:04:04,520
Speaker 1: said that, they'd still play these games. But I think

2526
02:04:04,560 --> 02:04:06,120
Speaker 1: that's a long way from having I don't. I think

2527
02:04:06,160 --> 02:04:08,920
Speaker 1: that's that's that's not on the tape really because I

2528
02:04:09,000 --> 02:04:12,000
Speaker 1: think they by the time it gets to that, hotels

2529
02:04:12,040 --> 02:04:15,200
Speaker 1: will be available and they'll they'll do it. Mail Bag

2530
02:04:15,320 --> 02:04:18,400
Speaker 1: question from Joe. Why isn't Trdavious White signed to a

2531
02:04:18,760 --> 02:04:21,080
Speaker 1: long term contract yet? Well, the bill's exercise is fifth

2532
02:04:21,160 --> 02:04:23,800
Speaker 1: year option, so the clock stopped ticking once they did that.

2533
02:04:23,840 --> 02:04:25,880
Speaker 1: When did they do that? Background free agency? Right, Steve?

2534
02:04:25,920 --> 02:04:27,840
Speaker 1: They yeah, right, as soon as the season was over.

2535
02:04:28,080 --> 02:04:29,680
Speaker 1: I think it was almost before the seat or at

2536
02:04:29,720 --> 02:04:31,800
Speaker 1: the season, as soon as first day they could. I

2537
02:04:31,840 --> 02:04:35,320
Speaker 1: think they did. Yeah, rookie contract. He's in the fifth

2538
02:04:35,360 --> 02:04:37,560
Speaker 1: year of his rookie contract, so now they might do it.

2539
02:04:37,680 --> 02:04:39,919
Speaker 1: But it's in the fourth year of a rookie contract

2540
02:04:40,200 --> 02:04:43,680
Speaker 1: year and the next year will be the fifth year. Right, Yeah, Um,

2541
02:04:45,280 --> 02:04:47,600
Speaker 1: I mean they have other they have more pressing contract issues.

2542
02:04:47,680 --> 02:04:49,680
Speaker 1: Matt Milano I think would be a little bit more

2543
02:04:49,720 --> 02:04:52,760
Speaker 1: on the front burner than Trudevious White right now, right?

2544
02:04:52,840 --> 02:04:57,520
Speaker 1: And this is there someone else a free agent next year? Um? Yeah,

2545
02:04:57,600 --> 02:05:01,240
Speaker 1: there are it's another the player that was in that

2546
02:05:01,400 --> 02:05:06,120
Speaker 1: draft class. Who is it? Yeah, I don't know. Dean Dawkins. Yeah. Yeah.

2547
02:05:06,240 --> 02:05:09,320
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, Murphy, they're probably pushing it further than

2548
02:05:09,360 --> 02:05:12,000
Speaker 1: they would like to because of the uncertainty about what

2549
02:05:12,080 --> 02:05:15,200
Speaker 1: the cap in twenty twenty one is gonna look like. Right, Um,

2550
02:05:15,440 --> 02:05:18,000
Speaker 1: there's some there's some thoughts out there that the cap

2551
02:05:18,120 --> 02:05:20,640
Speaker 1: may contract a little bit because of you know that

2552
02:05:21,320 --> 02:05:24,240
Speaker 1: whatever happens to this season and the television rights and

2553
02:05:24,320 --> 02:05:28,000
Speaker 1: all that stuff. So there may be some thought that

2554
02:05:28,160 --> 02:05:30,320
Speaker 1: some teams, and a lot of teams are pushing it back,

2555
02:05:30,600 --> 02:05:32,920
Speaker 1: like with Dak Prescott and Dallas. They don't know where

2556
02:05:32,960 --> 02:05:35,080
Speaker 1: the pat CAP's going to be next year. Well, even

2557
02:05:35,200 --> 02:05:38,240
Speaker 1: we talked to some presentation. We talked about the Chiefs

2558
02:05:38,320 --> 02:05:40,320
Speaker 1: just yesterday with Adam Tisher, and he made the point

2559
02:05:40,360 --> 02:05:42,960
Speaker 1: you're just making, Look, why would you commit yourself to

2560
02:05:43,040 --> 02:05:44,440
Speaker 1: a long term deal when you don't know what the

2561
02:05:44,480 --> 02:05:46,600
Speaker 1: CAP's gonna do. You don't know if how much you're

2562
02:05:46,600 --> 02:05:48,360
Speaker 1: gonna lose. If you're gonna lose money this year, many

2563
02:05:48,360 --> 02:05:50,320
Speaker 1: people think that the league will lose money. You just

2564
02:05:50,400 --> 02:05:51,800
Speaker 1: want to sit down. You don't want to commit the

2565
02:05:51,840 --> 02:05:55,200
Speaker 1: long term deals right now, whether you're the Chiefs dealing

2566
02:05:55,280 --> 02:05:58,440
Speaker 1: with the Pat Mahomes or the Bills dealing with Rnavians White, right,

2567
02:05:58,560 --> 02:06:01,080
Speaker 1: and plus it's and plus you know it's a little bit,

2568
02:06:01,280 --> 02:06:03,520
Speaker 1: you know, not for nothing. It's easy to say that, hey,

2569
02:06:03,560 --> 02:06:06,840
Speaker 1: the money's they got money everywhere, but cash flow is

2570
02:06:07,240 --> 02:06:10,640
Speaker 1: important and to cough up because if you sign a

2571
02:06:10,640 --> 02:06:12,400
Speaker 1: guy to a contract like that, you're going to give

2572
02:06:12,480 --> 02:06:14,480
Speaker 1: him a signing you know, part of its upfront, right,

2573
02:06:14,520 --> 02:06:17,080
Speaker 1: a good chunk of it, maybe most of the first year,

2574
02:06:17,600 --> 02:06:20,200
Speaker 1: and they want to keep that probably for cash flow

2575
02:06:20,320 --> 02:06:22,560
Speaker 1: for the seat start of the season, so they can

2576
02:06:22,640 --> 02:06:24,840
Speaker 1: you know, just keep the wheels turning without having to

2577
02:06:24,920 --> 02:06:27,160
Speaker 1: go to a you know, a line of credit or whatever.

2578
02:06:27,240 --> 02:06:30,120
Speaker 1: But you start coughing up, you know, twenty five million

2579
02:06:30,200 --> 02:06:34,560
Speaker 1: bucks as a signing bonus or pluss for a deal.

2580
02:06:34,640 --> 02:06:38,280
Speaker 1: If we're talking about like for Davious White, you know

2581
02:06:38,400 --> 02:06:41,040
Speaker 1: that that then you have to start moving money around

2582
02:06:41,200 --> 02:06:43,360
Speaker 1: right to make that happen, and they may just say, listen,

2583
02:06:43,360 --> 02:06:45,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna wait for a while and and just wait

2584
02:06:45,960 --> 02:06:48,240
Speaker 1: till everything settled a little bit financially on both ends

2585
02:06:48,400 --> 02:06:50,960
Speaker 1: their side and the league side. One more from the

2586
02:06:51,040 --> 02:06:55,040
Speaker 1: mail bag from Andrew. He asks has the NFL forgotten

2587
02:06:55,160 --> 02:06:58,280
Speaker 1: about the Patriots cheating in twenty nineteen filming? The Bengals

2588
02:06:58,360 --> 02:07:01,960
Speaker 1: haven't heard any disciplinary taken yet, and they update on

2589
02:07:02,080 --> 02:07:08,880
Speaker 1: that Nope, no need for disciplinary action. I don't think it. No,

2590
02:07:09,280 --> 02:07:11,920
Speaker 1: there probably there might be a fine, but I don't

2591
02:07:11,960 --> 02:07:13,520
Speaker 1: think it's a big deal. And I think the fact

2592
02:07:13,560 --> 02:07:16,200
Speaker 1: that the NFL hasn't done anything yet indicates that they

2593
02:07:16,240 --> 02:07:18,360
Speaker 1: don't think it's a big deal. Steve, you may feel differently.

2594
02:07:18,560 --> 02:07:21,640
Speaker 1: I think they try to and right or wrong, I

2595
02:07:21,680 --> 02:07:24,960
Speaker 1: think the league tries to take every instance of this

2596
02:07:25,240 --> 02:07:29,400
Speaker 1: nature as its own incident, whereas most of us say,

2597
02:07:29,960 --> 02:07:32,960
Speaker 1: yet again, the Patriots are caught doing something. I think,

2598
02:07:33,000 --> 02:07:38,000
Speaker 1: in and of itself, this incident is it is pretty inconsequential,

2599
02:07:38,080 --> 02:07:39,720
Speaker 1: and I think the league's trying to treat it like that.

2600
02:07:40,040 --> 02:07:42,080
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean nothing all happen, or it will be

2601
02:07:42,480 --> 02:07:44,760
Speaker 1: like nothing. But I don't think you're gonna see Bill

2602
02:07:44,800 --> 02:07:48,400
Speaker 1: Belichick suspended for eight games or something like that. It's

2603
02:07:48,440 --> 02:07:50,200
Speaker 1: gonna be a slap at the rist, slap on the

2604
02:07:50,360 --> 02:07:54,160
Speaker 1: wrist if that so's. Yeah, really, let's take one phone

2605
02:07:54,200 --> 02:07:56,080
Speaker 1: call here Bob and New Fame. Hello, Bob, you're on

2606
02:07:56,120 --> 02:07:58,880
Speaker 1: the air. Good afternoon. How are you guys doing today?

2607
02:07:59,520 --> 02:08:03,760
Speaker 1: Real good? The question for Steve, Steve, when when Jim

2608
02:08:03,920 --> 02:08:06,400
Speaker 1: was in the K gun, when you guys were in

2609
02:08:06,520 --> 02:08:11,520
Speaker 1: your Super Bowl years, just uh, any idea of the percentage?

2610
02:08:11,560 --> 02:08:13,680
Speaker 1: I know you guys were very successful at it, but

2611
02:08:13,800 --> 02:08:17,080
Speaker 1: any idea of the percentage? Could you put a percentage

2612
02:08:17,120 --> 02:08:19,280
Speaker 1: on it? With the plays he called? Was he right

2613
02:08:19,440 --> 02:08:21,960
Speaker 1: ninety percent of the time or ninety five percent of

2614
02:08:22,080 --> 02:08:25,920
Speaker 1: the time? And the second part of the question is

2615
02:08:26,040 --> 02:08:28,560
Speaker 1: with Josh going into his third year now and having

2616
02:08:28,640 --> 02:08:31,360
Speaker 1: success with it with the no huddle last year, do

2617
02:08:31,400 --> 02:08:33,600
Speaker 1: you think they can put a package together for him

2618
02:08:33,680 --> 02:08:36,440
Speaker 1: where he can call his own plays this year? Is

2619
02:08:36,480 --> 02:08:40,200
Speaker 1: at a possibility? Um? Yeah, it's a different world we

2620
02:08:40,280 --> 02:08:43,200
Speaker 1: live in now with guys calling their own plays. Even then,

2621
02:08:43,360 --> 02:08:45,400
Speaker 1: Jim one of the very few, if not the only,

2622
02:08:45,480 --> 02:08:48,320
Speaker 1: one who called plays and being right or wrong. Um

2623
02:08:49,040 --> 02:08:53,760
Speaker 1: gets it, gets me back to the question of the

2624
02:08:53,880 --> 02:08:56,400
Speaker 1: guys on the field. It's easy to be right when

2625
02:08:56,440 --> 02:08:58,680
Speaker 1: you've got three Hall of famers and a and a

2626
02:08:58,760 --> 02:09:01,160
Speaker 1: guy at center who was also a Hall of Fame

2627
02:09:01,240 --> 02:09:05,400
Speaker 1: caliber guy, you know. So you got Jim Thurman and

2628
02:09:05,480 --> 02:09:10,920
Speaker 1: Andre and James Lofton. There's four Hall of famers running

2629
02:09:11,000 --> 02:09:12,880
Speaker 1: those plays. So it's a little easier to be right

2630
02:09:12,920 --> 02:09:15,800
Speaker 1: as a quarterback when you're calling those plays. And that's,

2631
02:09:15,920 --> 02:09:17,680
Speaker 1: you know, gets back to my point about listen. It's

2632
02:09:17,720 --> 02:09:19,280
Speaker 1: more about the players and it is the play call

2633
02:09:19,360 --> 02:09:22,640
Speaker 1: and also about Josh having the ability to go no huddle.

2634
02:09:23,280 --> 02:09:25,480
Speaker 1: Don't forget in this day and age, if they wanted

2635
02:09:25,480 --> 02:09:28,040
Speaker 1: to run the no huddle in the manner that the

2636
02:09:28,160 --> 02:09:31,000
Speaker 1: Bills ran it, they wouldn't need Josh or even if

2637
02:09:31,040 --> 02:09:33,600
Speaker 1: it was Jim Jim to call the plays. They could

2638
02:09:34,680 --> 02:09:39,960
Speaker 1: do it by radio. Because the Bills were running plays

2639
02:09:40,440 --> 02:09:42,720
Speaker 1: once every sixteen at the height of it, they were

2640
02:09:42,800 --> 02:09:45,760
Speaker 1: running plays one every sixteen seconds of real time, not

2641
02:09:46,000 --> 02:09:49,160
Speaker 1: game clock or play clock, but when the whistle was

2642
02:09:49,200 --> 02:09:52,240
Speaker 1: blown after one play, it was sixteen seconds until they

2643
02:09:52,280 --> 02:09:56,160
Speaker 1: snapped it again. That means Brian day Ball could call

2644
02:09:56,280 --> 02:09:58,520
Speaker 1: every play in formation as they went down the field,

2645
02:09:58,560 --> 02:10:00,440
Speaker 1: so he wouldn't need Josh to do the exact same

2646
02:10:00,520 --> 02:10:02,520
Speaker 1: thing Jim did because it's a different world they live in.

2647
02:10:02,720 --> 02:10:05,200
Speaker 1: But I'm sure that they'll have a no huddle package

2648
02:10:05,240 --> 02:10:07,600
Speaker 1: and Josh will run it really well and and they'll

2649
02:10:07,720 --> 02:10:09,640
Speaker 1: they'll have a bigger menu have played than even the

2650
02:10:09,720 --> 02:10:12,320
Speaker 1: Bills of the nineties did. So thanks for the call, Bob.

2651
02:10:12,400 --> 02:10:15,240
Speaker 1: That's a good question. Like I read recently, Mark Gone,

2652
02:10:15,320 --> 02:10:17,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo News, excellent reporter, I think he wrote that the

2653
02:10:17,920 --> 02:10:20,040
Speaker 1: Bills ran no huddle more than any other NFL team

2654
02:10:20,080 --> 02:10:21,960
Speaker 1: last year. I believe it or not. It doesn't feel

2655
02:10:21,960 --> 02:10:24,200
Speaker 1: like and it was certainly not the k gun no huddle,

2656
02:10:24,280 --> 02:10:26,400
Speaker 1: but they ran a lot of no huddle last year, right,

2657
02:10:26,720 --> 02:10:29,280
Speaker 1: and no huddle doesn't mean they were hurrying it, No,

2658
02:10:29,480 --> 02:10:32,800
Speaker 1: they took their time, got off the line and yeah, exactly.

2659
02:10:33,040 --> 02:10:34,840
Speaker 1: All right, we got a break and then we're coming back.

2660
02:10:34,880 --> 02:10:37,080
Speaker 1: One Bill slide presented by Collid to Health. This is

2661
02:10:37,160 --> 02:10:50,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio, brought to you by Skyworks, the official

2662
02:10:50,440 --> 02:10:52,880
Speaker 1: construction equipment rental company and the Buffalo Bills. We had

2663
02:10:52,920 --> 02:10:56,680
Speaker 1: marked Skullfield down from USA Today earlier today and here

2664
02:10:56,720 --> 02:10:58,800
Speaker 1: talking about how johnsh Allen's deep ball can be the

2665
02:10:58,880 --> 02:11:03,400
Speaker 1: key to Buffaloes offensive improvement. Here's what's Goofield said. Nobody

2666
02:11:03,440 --> 02:11:05,920
Speaker 1: expects a quarterback to hit, you know, ninety percent of

2667
02:11:06,000 --> 02:11:08,440
Speaker 1: his throws on twenty yards and more down field. You're

2668
02:11:08,640 --> 02:11:10,920
Speaker 1: you're really talking about, you know, can you hit one

2669
02:11:11,000 --> 02:11:12,800
Speaker 1: or two a game? You know, can you hit you

2670
02:11:12,880 --> 02:11:14,640
Speaker 1: know a couple over the course of a stretch of

2671
02:11:14,680 --> 02:11:16,440
Speaker 1: the season when you might need to win some games

2672
02:11:16,680 --> 02:11:20,000
Speaker 1: to improve your playoff position. And the ability to hit

2673
02:11:20,040 --> 02:11:21,800
Speaker 1: on just a couple of those from game to game

2674
02:11:21,840 --> 02:11:23,400
Speaker 1: will really sort of put something in the mind of

2675
02:11:23,440 --> 02:11:26,400
Speaker 1: defensive coordinators. You know, we can't play cover one. We

2676
02:11:26,480 --> 02:11:29,160
Speaker 1: can't bring that safety down into the box to stop

2677
02:11:29,240 --> 02:11:31,800
Speaker 1: the run. We can't condense on routes and that's say

2678
02:11:31,880 --> 02:11:34,160
Speaker 1: zero to nineteen yard of the area of the field,

2679
02:11:34,200 --> 02:11:36,800
Speaker 1: because you know, we've got to protect against John Brown

2680
02:11:36,880 --> 02:11:39,600
Speaker 1: going deep. We've got to protect against Stefon Diggs going deep.

2681
02:11:39,840 --> 02:11:42,280
Speaker 1: We've got to bring that sort of second safety down,

2682
02:11:42,560 --> 02:11:44,760
Speaker 1: you know, from the line of scribbage, play him d

2683
02:11:44,920 --> 02:11:46,560
Speaker 1: play that cover two, and that does so much for

2684
02:11:46,640 --> 02:11:50,280
Speaker 1: an offense. Arch goo Field also today Ron Wolfley joined

2685
02:11:50,320 --> 02:11:53,240
Speaker 1: US Arizona Cardinals cover man. He talked about why he

2686
02:11:53,400 --> 02:11:56,760
Speaker 1: is cautious about all the height after the Cardinal's preseason.

2687
02:11:56,840 --> 02:12:01,400
Speaker 1: Here's what Wolfley said, warning, warning, warning to me, this

2688
02:12:01,680 --> 02:12:06,560
Speaker 1: is right. Be aware because anytime you have the media

2689
02:12:06,920 --> 02:12:10,360
Speaker 1: and the meeting is proclaiming you all they've won the

2690
02:12:10,480 --> 02:12:14,000
Speaker 1: off sings, that isn't Matt White's Ryan. They've won the

2691
02:12:14,120 --> 02:12:17,720
Speaker 1: off season and all of a sudden they look really good.

2692
02:12:17,960 --> 02:12:21,760
Speaker 1: And boy, that can seep into a locker room and

2693
02:12:22,200 --> 02:12:25,520
Speaker 1: disploy you. So it's going to be a situation with

2694
02:12:25,680 --> 02:12:27,600
Speaker 1: the leaders. They're gonna have to step up in that

2695
02:12:27,760 --> 02:12:31,920
Speaker 1: locker room. It's you know what, we haven't done anything yet,

2696
02:12:33,160 --> 02:12:35,680
Speaker 1: Classic Crown. WOLFLEYE, Hey, Steve, have a great weekend. Little

2697
