00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: a kick, all right, because that might hurt a little

16
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: bit on the hands as you go. You know, people

Speaker 1: in ten to twelve, but this week's a little different.

20
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: People are shuffling vacations this time. Here I'm on the

21
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: morning show and here, and I get asked all the

22
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 1: time like, well, how do you do it? I'm like,

23
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: I talk for a living. I talk. I can talk

24
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: all day long, and of course can talk about the

25
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo bills. But it's good to be We've never done

26
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: a show together. I know we haven't, and I'm super

Speaker 1: So it's gonna be awesome. We get to work alongside

29
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: each other. I mean, there's so many different people that

30
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: cover the bills, and it's incredible to think about, like

31
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 1: how many people you get to see every day once

32
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: we're in season, but also how many people you like

33
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: haven't actually worked right next to. So I'm excited to

34
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: have you on the show this week, excited to talk

35
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: about some Buffalo bills. We've got a nice show here

36
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: on Monday, guys, we're gonna have Sam a show on

37
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: at one o'clock. He's an ESPN NFL analyst. They were

38
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: talking bills on ESPN at one thirty, so we'll have

39
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: him on just half an hour here. He had some

40
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: great things to say about the Buffalo bills, about Josh

41
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: Allen and Stefan Day, so we'll get into that. He

42
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: also has a new book out, so we'll ask him

43
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: about that as well. We've got a Twitter question that's

44
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: out for you guys to reply to or give us

45
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: a call here at eight oh three oh five fifty.

46
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: Our Twitter question for the day is what's the one

47
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: move the Bills made this offseason that will help Josh

48
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: Allen the most? So Sale and I will share our

49
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: answers a little later. But did you do anything fun

50
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: this weekend? I mean, this is the time where we

51
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: actually get our weekends, we can take vacations, we can

52
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: hang out, not as crazy of a schedule. Maybe it's

53
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 1: crazy for you because you've been on the radio, so

54
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: I have, and I have an eight year old, so

55
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: it makes it crazy as it is. And he's super

56
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: into sports. He loves his Bills so much. He is

57
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: the biggest diehard eight year old Bills fan and Sabers

58
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: fan you'll ever meet in your life. It's amazing, it's awesome.

59
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: And he just started travel baseball and he came time

60
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: to pick numbers and he kept going through the Bills

61
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: players numbers and it's baseball. But he's like, I want

62
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: seventeen or I want fourteen, right, and it's like, now

63
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: that one's taken, that one's taken. So I don't know

64
00:02:58,600 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: what I think we had to We had to set

65
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: first something that you know wasn't taking it. I think

66
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: we went baseball route. I think he's five Joe to Maaji.

67
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: That was there. So it's okay, right, No, not nothing

68
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: bad there at all. Watch the Masters. Obviously that was

69
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: very cool. And I tell you the highlight. I say

70
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: that in jest. A little bit of my weekend might

71
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: have been Maddie. Sometimes you tweet something and you don't

72
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: know that people are gonna be like, it's just it's

73
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: a random thing, and it becomes a really big deal.

74
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: This has happened to me. So I did this, all right,

75
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: I wrote, I tweeted this week. I don't get heartburn

76
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: a lot, I said, whenever I get heartburn. Actually, I

77
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,839
Speaker 1: take a small piece of raw ginger, like the ginger root,

78
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: and I eat it like literally, like a thumbnail maybe

79
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: not even big. Yeah, takes it away completely. It's gone.

80
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: And now I have like hundreds of replies of people

81
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: telling me like that's great, or try this or try that.

82
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: All these different recipes and remedies and I'm like, it's

83
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: not even a sports tweet, it's a heartburn ginger tweet.

84
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: And you never know what people care about that they're

85
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: gonna want to talk to you about. Maybe we need

86
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: to start a wellness segment with sal if you have

87
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: an upset, that's exactly right the ginger root. So that's

88
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: what we do. That's too funny. Well, I spent all

89
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: weekend moving and I've got a funny story to go

90
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: along with moving. I feel like my family has really

91
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: bad luck all the time, so we call it the

92
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: glab curse because something usually always goes wrong at you know,

93
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: the worst times possible. So I have my car packed

94
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: with stuff to move, and I pull into the driveway.

95
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: So I'm finishing packing everything up and I move it

96
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: from it was parked on the street to the driveway.

97
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: So I move it like literally fifty feet, turn the

98
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: car off, finished packing up, try to turn the car on.

99
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: The car will not turn on and it is packed

100
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: to the gills with a bunch of stuff, and I'm like,

101
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: are you freaking kidding me? I'm moving. I need to

102
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: move this car two blocks away to move into an apartment,

103
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: and the car won't start, So we try and jump

104
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: it with the U haul. It won't it won't start.

105
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my gosh, and mind you. I just

106
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: got an oil change a couple days ago, and the

107
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: guy who did the oil change was like, hey, you

108
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: probably need a new battery. It's gonna die soon. And

109
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: here I am like, I'll deal with it in a

110
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. So I'm like, the battery's gone. It's dead.

111
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: So Triple A comes, they jump my car and he's like, yeah,

112
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: you might want to get a new battery. It might

113
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: start again, but if you turn it off, I don't

114
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen. So I'm like, you know what,

115
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna bite the bullet and go get a

116
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: new battery. So in the middle of moving I had

117
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: a nice two hour pause to go get a new

118
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: car battery. Which while I was doing that, there were

119
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: like two other people also getting car batteries on Saturday afternoons,

120
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: so a lot of people had a great Saturday afternoon.

121
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: So let me ask you, you and I actually live

122
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: in the same area. You're both from the city, though, yeah,

123
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: we're both in the city. On my street, I live

124
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: on a one way street and it's literally like, park

125
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,679
Speaker 1: on the left on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Oh my gosh,

126
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: I'm the right on Thursday Friday. Do you have anything

127
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: like that or here are you okay? Yes, we have

128
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: on side of the street you can park on the

129
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: other side. You cannot park all the time. I think

130
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: it's all the time. I haven't read the street signs

131
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: that in depth yet. I need to get accustomed to

132
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: that because I'll be parking on so like literally this morning,

133
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: like you said, I'm on the morning show, and like

134
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: during one of the breaks, I had to run downstairs

135
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: and move my car from one side of the street

136
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: to the other because I did not want to get ticketed.

137
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: And that's what happened. So I was thinking about, as

138
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: you're telling the story, I'm like, if that goes into

139
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: a couple of days and you'll leave your car there.

140
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: You're talking about getting, you know, tickets just simply because

141
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: you're parked on the wrong side of the street. Oh,

142
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: it's so annoy I've I've gotten you know, we all

143
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: get our fair share of tickets. I'm sure I got

144
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: my fair share right when I moved to Buffalo a

145
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: few years ago, trying to you know, learn the lay

146
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: of the land, learning one you can and can't do,

147
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: where you can and can't park, where where they decide

148
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: to give tickets, where they don't decide to give tickets.

149
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: So hopefully I don't get too many tickets your cars. Okay,

150
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: it's running now, so hopefully it continues to run. Did

151
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: you watch all of the Masters? Did you just tune

152
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: on on Sunday? How do you like to watch the Masters? So?

153
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: I was really I was into watching Tiger. I'm a

154
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: big tigerphan. I was into watching Tiger. I try to

155
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: catch as much on Thursday, Friday, Saturday as I can like,

156
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: but I know that there's just too much going on.

157
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: I know that that's kind of not gonna be possible. Sunday,

158
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: if I can any major, I want to sit down

159
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: and watch it, but it just never works out. Well,

160
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: guess what yesterday was a little bit more like that.

161
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: What happened was my wife, Janna, she's actually out of

162
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: town on work, so I had Max all day. But

163
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: his friend wanted him to come over and play, so

164
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: his mom said sure, So I said, I'm going to

165
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: take a couple hours. It was just a couple hours,

166
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: and I literally put my feet up and I watched

167
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: the Masters from you know, the beginning, and then when

168
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: I went and got Max and brought him back, he

169
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: was doing some stuff. He was playing in his room

170
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: and I was able to so I did watch it.

171
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: I think I watched at least one shot of every

172
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: hole with the leaders, which I'd never get a chance

173
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: to do. And I saw the chip in on three

174
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: from Scheffler. Amazing, Now was wild. It was amazing. And

175
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: then how about Rory and from the Bunker and right

176
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: after that Morikawa. So I got a chance to watch it.

177
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: You know, all I asked for on Sunday. I think

178
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: a lot of us do is let's let's we didn't

179
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: have a lot of that, but it was cool watch

180
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: we have a couple of great shots. It was cool

181
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: watching Scottie Scheffler when I love the emotion and in

182
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: his postgame um not postgame Postmasters um interview that he

183
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: did where he was like, I was in tears this morning.

184
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: The pressure, the stress, it was way too much. He

185
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: ends up winning the Masters, awesome to see. Also hilarious

186
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: that he four putted the last hole, which that's basically

187
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: how I put any any hole when I golf. I'm

188
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: a double Bogeie and triple bogie Queen. I need to

189
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: get to the driving range soon as it starts to

190
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 1: get warmer because I like to golf. I'm not that good.

191
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: I'm really good um off the tea box and in

192
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: the fairway, but once I get to the green, it

193
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: all falls apart. I don't have the patience when I'm putting,

194
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: so it usually ends up four putting, five putting everything.

195
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: I'll tell you a quick funny story. I know we'll

196
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: get to football here in a second. So I'm friends

197
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: with and I used to when I was down in Florida.

198
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: I was high school teacher. I was a coach, and

199
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: one of the guys I coached with the golf coach

200
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 1: there was a former pro golfer and his name is

201
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: Doug Dunickie, and he's one of the only people to

202
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: ever shoot a fifty nine on a tour gee. He

203
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: shot at fifty nine, and he was on the back

204
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: that like the Nike Tour, the Nationwide, you know the

205
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: one that the right before it's a pro tour, but

206
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: it's just kind of stepped below. Anyway, he told me

207
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: a story, he said, Sally. He said, I was putting

208
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: for fifty seven, and I'm like, what I said, you

209
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: get nervous, and he said, no, what happened was he's

210
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: walking up the green and all these people are coming

211
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: out to watch. This is history. It's amazing, he said.

212
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: I was standing over it and my mind started to

213
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: think about sponsorships. Nine fifty seven fifty seven Chevy, he said,

214
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: And I hit it and it went all the way

215
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 1: down the hill and I had to go back again,

216
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: and so he went fifty eight fifty night. It was amazing.

217
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: So I can see that you're sitting over the putt

218
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: and you're like, what's your mind thinking. I don't know

219
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: what Scheffler was thinking, because he had it wrapped up

220
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: at the time. Yeah, he had it wrapped up. He

221
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: was ahead by so much, but good to see him

222
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: when I love that it was his I pulled up

223
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: this tweet his fourth win in a fifty seven day

224
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: a span, which is incredible for somebody to have a

225
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: fifty seven day span like that in the game of golf.

226
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: It's not easy to win in golf. It's very hard.

227
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: These guys are so good at the sport. Watching them

228
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: makes you want to play like that, even though you

229
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: know you never will be able to because you are

230
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: not on the tour. You're just a fan of the sport.

231
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: So good to see Scottie Scheffler when the Masters. We

232
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: do have a caller before we get into some football stuff.

233
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: I think DJ is on the line. He wants to

234
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: talk about a moving story, So why not get our

235
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,120

236
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: with us, Please please share maybe a similar story to

00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: moving a Hi, guys, can you hear me? Okay, yep,

238
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: we got you awesome. So yeah, a couple of years ago,

239
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: I was actually moving back from New York City to

240
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo the ex girlfriend of mine at the time, and

241
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: you live on a fourth floor walk up and a

242
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: story of please. So we had rented a big U home,

243
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: you know, we were moving our two bedroom apartment back

244
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: to Buffalo. I had it packed up well about two

245
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: hours into packing, actually realized how much it was. So

246
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: we were able to find some lassmated movers to kind

247
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 1: of help us. While all of that was happening and

248
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: they were voting up the truck, there was actually a

249
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: bunch of my clothes and all of my sneakers ended

250
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: up being thrown out in the trash, and I didn't

251
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: realize that until we actually got back to Buffalo. Um.

252
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: So once once we got of got all of everything

253
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: packed up, they're ready to go. But I was listening

254
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: to earlier. I couldn't help us sit there and smile

255
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 1: and laugh, just because we went to go start the

256
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: U haul and the U haul was, you know, deader

257
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: than mail. Was just wanting started meeting what happened? And

258
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 1: mind you, like I said, we lived in Queen, so

259
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: you know, it's just a single lane of traffic down

260
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: our street is parking on both sides. The only option

261
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: was for them to try and come and initially trying

262
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: to jump the U haullard you know, eventually told if

263
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: we be you know, my worst thought was, oh god,

264
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to unpack this truck, pack a new one.

265
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: You know, we can't can't sleep here because it's the

266
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: thirty first. We have to be out tonight in the

267
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: new people moving tomorrow. So luckily the UH the tow

268
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: truck came by black blocked off traffic, and maybe twenty

269
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: minutes that was a hassle car sleeping everywhere, and oh

270
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,719
Speaker 1: my god, thank they were able to get the U

271
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: house jump and we were able to get on the

272
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: road and you know, just pulled all of ourselves asleep

273
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: by a truck stopped and didn't turn the car off

274
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: the entire way back to Buffalo, But it was pretty

275
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: much it was definitely a big hassle. Um, but we're

276
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: really happy to be back home and glad that we

277
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: made a safe Oh DJ, I feel your pain. Thanks

278
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: for the call, and hopefully we don't have to go

279
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: through any moves like that anymore. UM. I can't imagine

280
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: getting something. I mean, that's and it just becomes so

281
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: stressful and every every minute that goes by it And

282
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: imagine trying to block off a street. Oh my gosh,

283
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: that was like my worst worry too, is like, am

284
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: I going to get the stuck in the middle of

285
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: the street? Um, should I unpack my car? Is this

286
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: car going to have to get toad? I don't want

287
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: the guy who's towing the car to have to wait

288
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: for me to unpack everything. So, you know, moving can

289
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: be just a bunch of drama. But thankfully everything else

290
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: went smooth. Let's see what else happened this week, and

291
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: something I was absolutely devastating, heartbreaking. I know everybody heard

292
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: the news of Dwayne Haskins passing away. He was training

293
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: in Florida and he got struck by a car on

294
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 1: the highway, a dump truck. Actually, I mean the Masters

295
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: are on. You're watching the Masters. We had ESPN on.

296
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: We are watching Masters coverage, getting things ready to be moved,

297
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: and you see Sports Center start to break in with

298
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 1: this coverage. And at first I read the tweet and

299
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: it said Dwayne Haskins something in Florida, and I just

300
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: thought it was a tweet about Dwayne Haskins and his

301
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: teammates being down in Florida training, because you know a

302
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: lot of guys are training together right now who are

303
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: on the same team, and he was down there training,

304
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: and I didn't read the rest of the tweet. And

305
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: then I saw the coverage on Sports Center and I

306
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: was like what. I couldn't believe it. I mean, he

307
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: was twenty four. Terrible to happen. To see the outpouring

308
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: support and love from friends, from teammates, the tweets that

309
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: everybody had, it seemed like he was just an incredible person,

310
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: just a wonderful teammate, somebody who was a light to

311
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: be around, somebody who the Pittsburgh Steelers were really excited

312
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: to have on their team to see what he could do.

313
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: He was training with Mitch Turbisky. He was actually staying

314
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: with Mitch Turbiski. Everybody said that I don't follow him

315
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: on social media, but a lot of people said that

316
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: he had been posting that week just about training with

317
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: some of his teammates. I saw a video that was

318
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: on social media of Naj Harris was all dressed up

319
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: and Dwayne Haskins was kind of saying, no, Naj, you're

320
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: looking good and all that Burberry because he had a

321
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: Burberry outfit on. So it just looked like the group

322
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: was having an incredible time together, some team bonding, and

323
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: for something like this to happen just devastating. So sad,

324
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: I can't imagine what his family, what his friends, what

325
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: his teammates are going through right now. But you know,

326
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: would have loved to see somebody like that be able

327
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: to compete on the Steelers this upcoming season. Yeah, you know,

328
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: it's it's tragic. So young, his entire life still in

329
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: front of him, right and whenever something like this happens, Maddie,

330
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: whether it's a loved one, a friend, people we know,

331
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: a famous person from the outside looking in, we all

332
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: say the same thing. And I think it gets true

333
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: and true more as we go on in life, and

334
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: it keeps happening, which is, appreciate your loved ones. Yeah,

335
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: and not only appreciate them, I think maybe even more importantly,

336
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: let them know how much you appreciate them. Let them

337
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: know how much appreciative you are of them, right. And

338
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: I think when I see a story like this, like,

339
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: I hope Dwayne Haskins knew how much he was loved

340
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: by people, right, I hope, And because I think that's

341
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: the thing of it. We take unfortunately, we take a

342
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: lot of each other for granted, right, and tomorrow's not

343
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: promised to any of us. And to make sure that

344
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: just every once in a while you connect to somebody

345
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: and you tell them I love you, I appreciate you, Yeah,

346
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: I need you. You're important in my life. I just

347
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: think that goes a long way. And this is a

348
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: this is a tragedy. And I read Mike Tomlin's words

349
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: and I thought he was very eloquent about explaining what

350
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: kind of a person and teammate Dwayne Haskins was. Um,

351
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: it's unfortunate, it really is. But I especially at that age.

352
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: I look at that and you know, to think about

353
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: a young man who has his entire life, had his

354
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: entire life in front of him, that won't he won't

355
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: get a chance to live that now. Is is truly tragic.

356
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: But appreciate, not only appreciate your loved ones and but

357
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: tell them and let them know. And I think that's

358
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: important at times. Yeah, he was a former first round

359
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: pick of the twenty nineteen NFL Draft, fifteenth overall pick

360
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: out of Ohio State. He was drafted to Washington and

361
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: was on the Pittsburgh Steelers this past season. Just terrible,

362
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: terrible news. It'll be interesting to see how some of

363
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: these teams honor him throughout the season. I'm sure the

364
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 1: NFL will do something. I'm sure a lot of teams

365
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: will do things to honor him. But yeah, you are

366
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: completely right. You know, tell your loves, loved ones that

367
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 1: you love them, because life is short, no day is guaranteed.

368
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: You never know what's going to happen. And also I

369
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: love bringing this up whenever I can. Is you know,

370
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: you never know what somebody's going through. I mean, you

371
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: know what the Haskins family is going through right now.

372
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: They're going through really difficult time. You know, his teammates

373
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: are going through a really difficult time. But that's why

374
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: it's so important to be kind and nice to people,

375
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: is because people could be battling with something behind the

376
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: scenes that you have no idea what is going on.

377
00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: So I always try and be nice to anybody I can,

378
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: people who are working at different places, places where it's

379
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: hard to be nice to people at sometimes when when

380
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: you can't get your way or something like that, But

381
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: you never know what somebody's battling with. You never know

382
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: what's going on behind the scenes, you know. I read

383
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: this this weekend. I believe it was Seth Davis who

384
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: had said it, but I think other people have so

385
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know, and he's a sports commentator.

386
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 1: But it's truly a great way to look at things

387
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: a perspective, and it basically goes that one of the

388
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: true measures of someone's character is how you treat people

389
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: who have no benefit to you. And I think that's

390
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: a great way to look at it, right. It doesn't

391
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: You don't have to have someone be a benefit to

392
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: you in your life to be nice to them. Be

393
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 1: nice to everybody, be kind to people, let's make this

394
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: world a kind place and then people can know how

395
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: much they're appreciated in love. So there's no doubt. Obviously

396
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: the NFL, the Pittsburgh Steelers are going to miss Dwayne

397
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: Haskins and obviously his family and friends and our thoughts

398
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: go out to them. Yeah, And it seems like Dwayne

399
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: Haskins did just that. It seemed like he was a

400
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: super kind person, an incredible team mate on and off

401
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 1: the field, somebody brought who brought light to any room.

402
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: I never got to interview him or got to be

403
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: around him, but it seems like he was an awesome

404
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: guy in somebody who I'm sure we both would have

405
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: loved to meet if we had the opportunity to. Yeah,

406
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: and you know that he came from Ohio State, and

407
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: there's tons of Ohio State fans around and I know

408
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: that they feel the connection to him even they've never

409
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: met him. Right. I've spoken with several people I know

410
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: or Hio State fans. I texted, I'm like, wow, did

411
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: you see about tween Haskins And those people are very

412
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're they feel like that part of

413
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: their family. Yeah, that he is, because I think that's

414
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 1: the way you treated a lot of times when it's

415
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: your school, your team, and the people that you grow

416
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: up and you're watching all the time, you have these

417
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: connections too. Yeah, definitely, So ahead in the show at

418
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: one thirty, we are going to have Sam Acho on

419
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: with us. He's an ESPN NFL analyst. They were breaking

420
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 1: down the Bills on ESPN, so we're going to talk

421
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: some bills with him. Also get into his new book

422
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: that was released. We have a Twitter question that's going on,

423
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: what's the one move the Bills made this offseason that

424
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: will help Josh Allen the most. The Bills made several

425
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: moves this offseason. I think many more moves than many

426
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: of us thought the Bills would make. We know, Brandon

427
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: Bean is kind of one to say, we'll see what happens.

428
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: We don't have all the money to spend. And then

429
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: this offseason, man, there were some big moves that were made.

430
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: Von Miller, Stefon Diggs, Isaiah McKenzie is back, Several different

431
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: people brought back to the roster, several new people on

432
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 1: the roster as well. So if there's one move that

433
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: you think is going to help Josh Allen the most,

434
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: give us a call here at eight oh three h

435
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: five fifty. We would love to hear your thoughts. You

436
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: can go ahead and tweet at us as well. Sell.

437
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: Is there some player or position group maybe that comes

438
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: to mind that you think had a bunch of moves

439
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 1: or a move in a certain player that you think

440
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: will affect Josh Allen the most. Here, I do. But

441
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: the way you phrase it, though, I'll have to go off.

442
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: I go off because here I'm thinking about this, Maddie.

443
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: As we brought up the topic, what one move, I'm thinking, man,

444
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: all right, obviously they got saffled and did some things

445
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: in the offensive line. I really like the Jamison Crowder move.

446
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: I think that's a big one. Not gonna but I'm

447
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: gonna go with not a player. I think it's Ken

448
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: Dorsey being elevated to think outside of the box. And

449
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: here's why, I think we all know that Josh Allen

450
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: has had stability at that position with Brian Nables since

451
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: he came in the league. Brian Dabele has been his

452
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: only offensive quarter. Do you look at that twenty eighteen

453
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: draft class, Maddie and Baker Mayfield's had a ton of

454
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 1: uncertainty and chaos around him. Right position coaches. Even Lamar

455
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: has a little bit it's been settled down last couple

456
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: of years with Great Roman, even he's had some of that. Obviously,

457
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,719
Speaker 1: we know that Josh Rosen had and he's kind of

458
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 1: you know, he's on a team now, but he's not

459
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: never became what he thought he would people thought he would.

460
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: And then of course you have um Sam Darnold, who

461
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: I always believe if Sam Donald was in a stable environment,

462
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: I thought he would have a chance in the league.

463
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 1: But he was never in a stable environment. And what

464
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: did Sean McDermott and Brandon being continually tell us when

465
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: it was a thinking that maybe Brian Dable would leave

466
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: and then be after he left, They kept saying, it's

467
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: important that Josh has a say and that we keep

468
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: the stability around Josh Allen. And that's why they knew,

469
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: and we knew from the beginning that Ken Dorsey was

470
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: going to be a candidate here. I think it is

471
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: such a benefit for this quarterback to go into his

472
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: fifth year to basically have the same continuity, even though

473
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 1: it's not the same person and there's gonna be new ideas,

474
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a few things that are changing here

475
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: and there. He is not getting a whole new staff.

476
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 1: He's not getting someone from the outside. He's got a

477
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: guy he's been with for the last three years of

478
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: his career. He's got a guy who is going to

479
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: run the same system with most of the same terminology.

480
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: You would think to me, that's the biggest benefit. Now

481
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: it's piggybacked on, of course losing Brian Dable, which is

482
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: a big loss for the Bills. But the one move

483
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: this team made that I think benefits Josh is to

484
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: make sure he does not have chaos in the quarterback room.

485
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: I think that's so well said and is so I

486
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 1: think one of the most important moves this offseason. I mean,

487
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: could you imagine Josh would do fine with it? But

488
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: could you imagine somebody knew coming in here after you've

489
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: had the last three four seasons of just solid people

490
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: in place since Josh Allen was a rookie quarterback. I mean,

491
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: I think you could go down and look at quarterbacks

492
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: who have been in the NFL for four years or

493
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: their first three seasons. Really, you could look at any

494
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL today. It doesn't have to be

495
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: young quarterback right now, and you could look at if

496
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: they had a different offensive coordinator in those first three

497
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: years and how their first three years went. And I

498
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: think you would see the quarterbacks who had a lot

499
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: of change at offensive coordinator a head coach maybe. I'm

500
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 1: sure their first three years are nothing like the quarterbacks

501
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: who had a solid OC or a solid head coach

502
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: in those first three ability. I'll give you a great

503
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: example to wa Tonga Voloa is going into his third

504
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator in three years in the NFL. He's already

505
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: a guy that there's a lot of questions about, well,

506
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: how can he really kind of fulfill his potential? Of

507
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 1: you how can you get such a good read on

508
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: him if you keep changing things on him every year? Right?

509
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: And I feel for the young man in that situation.

510
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: I feel for any quarterback quest to go through that.

511
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 1: I'm not a big you know, to a guy. I

512
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: don't think it necessarily he's going to be that great

513
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL. But I also think that he's hampered

514
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: by having these situations around him where he doesn't have

515
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: a chance to do that. But I'll tell you this,

516
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 1: if the Bills did bring someone from the outside, what

517
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: would this show sound like every day? Be like? How

518
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: is that going to work? Here's the number one question.

519
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: Everybody would say, what's the number one question about the Bills?

520
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: Oh see, now you might still have it because Ken

521
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: Dorsey's new at the position. But every day you don't

522
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 1: listen to one Bill's live thinking what's gonna happen at offense?

523
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: How's it gonna look? How was Josh gonna handle it?

524
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: Because I think there's a calming of the waters that

525
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: people understand that Ken Dorsey's going to have a good

526
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: effect and Josh Allen him have a good relationship. And

527
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: you hear and listen to the players talk about Ken

528
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: Dorsey and what he has meant to this offense even

529
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: before becoming the offensive coordinator, which he hasn't really touched

530
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: the offense yet as the offensive coordinator. These guys will

531
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: get back here April nineteenth to begin offseason workouts and

532
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: then you know, OTA's rookie Minicamp. Those things are are

533
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: right around the corner in May and June. But these

534
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: guys talk about Ken Dorsey as someone who did play

535
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: a really big role in the way that Josh Allen

536
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: grew as a quarterback coming into the NFL. We heard

537
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs talk about Ken Dorsey as almost a friend,

538
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: somebody that he talks to. I don't think that's common

539
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: to hear a wide receiver talk about a quarterbacks coach

540
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 1: in that way and talk about he went out of

541
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,959
Speaker 1: his way and I went out of my way to

542
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: make sure that we had an open line of communication

543
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 1: and that we had a relationship. It all goes into

544
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: everything we hear about the Buffalo Bills being such a

545
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: tight team, such a tight coaching staff, the family atmosphere

546
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: that Stefan Diggs said drew him him to Buffalo, and

547
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: all these things work together, and I think Ken Dorsey

548
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: is going to do a fantastic job in that role.

549
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to see how the offense looks similar

550
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: and maybe how it looks a little bit different too

551
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: with that, because there is always going to be some changes. Look,

552
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: when you get elevated into a role, if you are

553
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: the number two person, as basically Ken Dorsey has been

554
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: as the quarterbacks coach, you're always looking and thinking, okay,

555
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: but maybe I would do with something a little bit different. Right,

556
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: You're anybody that's natural, that's human nature, and I think

557
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: that that's what Ken Dorsey's going to do, which is, Okay,

558
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: get what Josh, figure out what he likes, what's working,

559
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: and then what else can we do to kind of

560
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: tweak this to make this a little bit different. And

561
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what Ken Dorsey, by the way,

562
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: totally you know, this totally different personality than Brian Dabele too, Right,

563
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: That's what's really interesting about this. You have Brian Dabele,

564
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: who is kind of like the Gregarius saying hi to

565
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: everybody always at practice. Ken Dorsey, who's more than like,

566
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: he's kind of more reserved. Yeah, he's got that that

567
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: focus look on his face. He's just kind of walks out.

568
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: He's not he's He's different than Ken. There's nothing I'm

569
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: not saying either way is good or bad as a personality.

570
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: They're both kind of different, but that's what it is.

571
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: It's different. So that's why I'm interested to see this

572
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: happen with Kendor I think quick before we go to break.

573
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: One of the things that I'm most excited about too,

574
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 1: is this guy tore it up at Miami. Yes, he

575
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: is a two time NC double A Quarterback of the

576
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: Year in two thousand and one. In two thousand and two,

577
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: his National Championship winner in two thousand and one. I mean,

578
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: he was the guy at Miami and the team kind

579
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 1: of kind of gets on him, not makes fun of him,

580
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: but they're like, this guy, he really he really did

581
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 1: a lot at Miami. So I'm excited to see what

582
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: he can bring from his quarterback days at Miami. He knows,

583
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: he knows how to play the position. I'm sure he

584
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: has a lot of creativity within it as well. We're

585
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: going to take a break. When we come back ESPN

586

Speaker 1: team in this twenty twenty two season. Stick with us

589
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,640

Speaker 1: on Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back into One Bills Live

591
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: on this Monday afternoon. We've got a guest joining us now.

592
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: Excited to have him him on and hear some of

593
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 1: his insight about the Bills and what he thinks about

594
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: this team as we approach the twenty twenty two season.

595
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: It's going to be here before we know, at the

596
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 1: NFL Draft right around the corner. So let's bring on

597
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: ESPN college football and NFL studio analyst Sam Acho. He's

598
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: a former NFL linebacker played in the league for nine seasons.

599
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: Also spent some time with the Buffalo Bills. And we

600
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: know Sam, thanks for coming on a hot topic as

601
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: of late has been Josh Allen and Stefan Diggs. Because

602
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs got that money thanks to Brandon Bean, He's

603
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: now going to be in Buffalo for the foreseeable future.

604
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: He said he wanted to retire in Buffalo and wants

605
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: to finish out his career here with the Buffalo Bills,

606
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: which makes all of us very happy. But when you

607
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: see a deal like this, when you see a quarterback

608
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: being locked up to the number one wide receiver for

609
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: this long, what were some of your first thoughts when

610
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: you saw this? Come down? Too much of it? And

611
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: what I mean by that is a lot of times

612
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: people say, all right, will you sign this big deal now,

613
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: all the pressures on you. But I don't think that

614
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: a guy like Josh Allen or even Stefan Dix sees

615
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: it that way. He Stefon Dick has been a grinder.

616
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: I remember playing against him when he was in Minnesota.

617
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: Like this dude is a grinder when he was the

618
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: lowest paid guy, right, I think fourth round or fifth

619
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,239
Speaker 1: round pick. He was grinding and he's still grinding no

620
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: matter what the contract looks like. And so if anything,

621
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: I'm excited because of the future stability for the team.

622
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: They already got their star quarterback locked up, young quarterback,

623
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Now you got your number one receiver locked up.

624
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: Excited about that at a top defense. So I'm excited

625
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: for the future. But this deal doesn't change in my opinion,

626
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: Josh Allen or Stefon Diggs present. You know, when you

627
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: were here for a little while in twenty nineteen, things

628
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: I've already had already started to change. Sam, you know,

629
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: Brandon being Sean McDermot. They really changed the culture. People

630
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: they want to be in Buffalo. That wasn't always the

631
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,239
Speaker 1: case here, right, It was always fighting to try and

632
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: get free agents and you know, maybe guys getting out

633
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: the door after their contract expires. What do you remember about,

634
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: you know, the way it worked here under them, and

635
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: why has it changed and been so nice for this

636
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,479
Speaker 1: team and us here in Buffalo to say, you know what,

637
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: this is an organization where people want to come. Well,

638
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo was one of my that's the team I still

639
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: root for in a lot of ways. I've played for

640
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: four different teams. I spent the shortest amount of time

641
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, but had one of the best experiences there.

642
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: Number one, Brandon being the GM, the way that he

643
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: treats his players. It's not one of these things people

644
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: talk about coaches or maybe even GM's being player friendly.

645
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: It's not even that he's just fair. Brandon being is fair.

646
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: He calls it like it is. He's building his roster,

647
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: building his team, and he has a vision for it.

648
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: Right talking about Edmonds young leader at middle linebacker, and

649
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: then Josh Allen, young leader, that's all they talked about

650
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: their youth, their youth, their youth. And then secondly, what

651
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: I love is Sean McDermott. He comes off if you

652
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: look at him from afar as this kind of mean,

653
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: aggressive guy, but when you get in closer your last years,

654
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: yes he's no nonsense, but he cares about the players, right.

655
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: I want to use the words kind and loving. I

656
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: don't know if those are the right words, but he

657
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: actually cares and I think that makes players respond differently.

658
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: And then lastly, the culture. If you look at the culture,

659
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: there you walk into the facility, everything you see. At

660
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: least when I was there two years ago, it talked

661
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: about playoff caliber. That was all that they talked about,

662
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: being a playoff caliber team. And since I've left, they

663
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: just increased the standard more and more. So that's why

664
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: I'm still excited about Buffalo. Von Miller joining the Buffalo

665
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: Bills is huge, two time Super Bowl champion, super Bowl MVP,

666
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: So I'm excited about the Bills. Well, when you talk

667
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: about the vision that Brandon Bean had, he had a

668
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: vision for Josh Allen and they were able to get

669
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: him in the draft. Many people didn't know or didn't

670
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: think Josh Allen had the ceiling that the Buffalo Bills

671
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: thought he would have. And I meant him now on ESPN,

672
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: you said that he is your top quarterback in the

673
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: league right now? Why do you think he's number one?

674
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: Because he has everything you need, not just in a quarterback,

675
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: but in a leader. I may be a little bit

676
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: biased because I've played with him, but this dude is

677
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: a man amongst men, right, Josh Shallen six every bit

678
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: of six five every bit of two forty half. I

679
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: don't know everybody, maybe even two fifty and he When

680
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: the big people say big time players make big time

681
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: plays in big time games, I'll add one more in

682
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: big time moments, and Josh Allen does it. Fourth and one,

683
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: who's the ball? Who's hands are ball? Gonna be in

684
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, He's gonna make people miss and make a play.

685
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: Third and one game on the line. It's Josh Shallon,

686
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: big time player making big time plays in big time games.

687
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: If it's one on one mino, we mono my guy

688
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: versus your guy, it's always gonna be Josh s Allen.

689
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: He didn't have to rely on anybody else. He get

690
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: all out and he himself and I and so with

691
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, I get excited about his his intangibles right

692
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: the side to strength to speed. I also get excited

693
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: about the leadership that he possesses. The little time I

694
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: spent around him, he was one of those leaders that

695
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: it seems like nothing phases him like I am who

696
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: I am. If you like it great, if you don't

697
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: like it great. I care about me My team in

698
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: my city, and the city has rallied around Josh Shallon

699
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: number two and then number three. The guys around him

700
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: believe in him, so as a quarterbacker as a player,

701
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: it's not just about you as an individual. He could

702
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: be a great quarterback, but have no pieces around you.

703
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: But all of a sudden, look at Gabriel Davis, guys

704
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: like that stepping up, Stefandez Cole. Beasley's gone now, but

705
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: you got other people stepping in believing in him. People

706
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: rally around Josh Shallen. And so the reason he's my

707
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: number one quarterback is not just what he does on

708
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: the football field, but it's the way that he inspires

709
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: a city, inspires his teammates, and he doesn't care what

710
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: people think and Sam he is a legit like NFL superstar. Now,

711
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: one thing I noticed super Bowl Week and now coming

712
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: off the heels of just a couple of weeks before that,

713
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: basically the loss to care of the city and what

714
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: he did to put them in position. Obviously the loss

715
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: with thirteen seconds left. But one thing I noticed that week.

716
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: Everybody wanted a piece of him in LA He was

717
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: on every podcast, he was on every television station. I mean,

718
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 1: I would argue at the award show, I would argue

719
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: that that loss even did more for him and his

720
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: stardom in the NFL than any win he's ever had

721
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 1: in his career. He is a legit superstar. But that's great,

722
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: And here's the great thing you're you're probably totally right

723
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 1: on that, But here's the thing. Josh Allen doesn't care

724
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: about that. Josh didn't care about the stardom, didn't care

725
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: about the fame. Like he's been the same guy. I

726
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: was there in twenty nineteen. I was there for three

727
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: four weeks and that was my last close to my

728
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: last year in the NFL. Right, I'd already played eight seasons.

729
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: I've been around, been around playoff teams, been around in

730
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: college national championship teams. I know what it takes to win.

731
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: And I saw that, dude, and I was like, Yep,

732
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: that's it. The veterans Luenzo Alexander, who was a fourteen

733
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: year bet at the time on the Buffalo Bills, he

734
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: respects him. The guys on the defense respect him. They

735
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: know that he's a dude. Let's put it that way.

736
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 1: Like he's a dude. And there's certain players like NFL

737
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 1: players in a lot of ways. I'm not gonna say

738
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: they're a game a dozen, but you can make in

739
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 1: the NFL. But to be a dude in the NFL

740
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 1: to be a stud. There are certain players that have

741
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 1: that body type Josh Shallon, mentality, Josh Shallon. Now you

742
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: got the team around you, Josh Allen. That's why I

743
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: get excited about him. And then we've seen it on

744
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: the field, critical moments. They put the ball in his

745
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 1: hands and he makes the play when no one else would.

746
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: I mean, the way that he turned it on in

747
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: the playoffs this past season was so much fun to

748
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 1: watch it. That was if you didn't believe in Josh Allen,

749
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 1: then you are a believer after that because to watch

750
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: what he did to put the team on his back,

751
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: to make the throws that he did to score the

752
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: points that he needed to make, it was incredible. We

753
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: have been sold on him for a few seasons, but

754
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: I think the rest of the world definitely is sold

755
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 1: on what type of quarterback Josh Allen is. But the

756
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: offseason has been absolutely wild. I mean, the NFL is

757
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,720
Speaker 1: starting to rival the NFL with some of the moves

758
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: that have happened this offseason. What offseason moved by the

759
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: Bills do you think is gonna pay off the most

760
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: this season? Well, easy answer is Von Miller and part

761
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: of the reason is. Of course, we were talking about

762
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: the Bills and the lack of pass rushing, and when

763
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: I say lack, you have a lot of young pass rushers, right,

764
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 1: Epanessa young pass rushers, right. And so if you get

765
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: a guy like von Miller, not only do you add

766
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: to your pass rush, but you add to your expertise

767
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 1: guys who can teach you how to rush the quarterback. Yes,

768
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes could have been doing that last year right

769
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: the year before, you can talk about Trent Murphy doing that.

770
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,320
Speaker 1: But now you have a guy who has a playoff

771
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 1: experience and Super Bowl experience that can teach the young

772
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: players the tricks of the trade. I came out with

773
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: von Miller, so we both played the Senior Bowl together,

774
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,439
Speaker 1: and I know him really well. I know the kind

775
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: of teammate that he is. That's another piece as well,

776
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: another leader, and so for me, von Miller is that

777
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: piece because of the on the field success. I think

778
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: he had four sacks in the playoffs, maybe more just

779
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: in the playoffs alone, and then and then the leadership.

780
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: When he was in Denavor, he would throw defense dinners

781
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: at his house every every every once a week, right

782
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: usually on Thursdays. They do these team dinners. That's the

783
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,439
Speaker 1: intangibles that people like von Miller can add and so

784
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: and I don't know Murfer it was Thursday, but I

785
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: know once a week he would do those dinners. So

786
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:24,320
Speaker 1: I get excited about von Miller the addition for the

787
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: pass fresh but also for the team building and bonding.

788
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: Same Macho joining us here on One Bill's Live. Well,

789
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 1: let's take a look at the entire landscape of the AFC,

790
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: because Sam, there has been some major movement. Obviously with

791
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 1: all these quarterbacks. We know what we have here in

792
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: Buffalo and Josh Allen, and I think Josh Ellen will

793
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 1: obviously be fighting for championships for a while, but that

794
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 1: fight got a lot harder this year with some of

795
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: the moves that we saw in with the elevation of

796
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,760
Speaker 1: a guy like you have Justin Herbert, obviously, of Joe Burrow,

797
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: you sell Patrick Mahomes. I mean, the list goes on

798
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,240
Speaker 1: and on here. What do you make of the AFC

799
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: and what it's become. Oh, it's amazing. It's amazing to

800
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: see the way that Joe Burrow ascended playing really wells

801
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: rookie year that he got injured. Then he came and

802
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: stormed on the scene and was outstanding. Obviously, Justin Herbert

803
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: was second in the NFL in passing yards. More passing

804
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: yards in the MVP, Tom Brady believe you have more

805
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: touchdowns as well. Um, so, so you got a guy

806
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 1: like Justin Herbert, Now Russell Wilson come to the the AFC

807
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champ. There's a lot to be excited about.

808
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: Not to mention Patrick Mahomes, right, Like, there's so many

809
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: stars in the AFC, which is gonna make some for

810
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: some really exciting football. Derek Carr got Davante Adams and

811
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: so now you've got weapons for the quarterbacks who are

812
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: already there. There's so many stars, which is gonna make

813
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: for good football. I get excited about who's gonna be

814
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: able to stop the stars. Who's gonna be able to

815
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: to to put put some put some light out in

816
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 1: the darkness, so you don't see the stars as much,

817
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: right And so I think that's when that's when I

818
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 1: start thinking about defenses and coordinators and and and yes,

819
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 1: offensive schemes are great and phenomenal, but just like we

820
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 1: saw in the playoffs, if you have if you don't

821
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: have a defense that can stop an offense, you really

822
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 1: have no chance. Yeah, it was interesting to see a

823
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 1: lot of these teams bolster up on defense after some

824
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 1: of their their rivals or opponents within the division made

825
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: some moves on offense. You see teams start to load

826
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: up on defense. The AFC is going to be so

827
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: much fun to watch this season. But if we go

828
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: a little bit smaller size AFC East, who do you

829
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: think is going to be the team that can contend

830
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: with the Bills this season? AFC East. I think the

831
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: Jets are still rising, so they got some work to do.

832
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: The Dolphins people get excited about Miami. Of course, Tyreek

833
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: Hill coming to Miami is a lot to be excited about.

834
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: I think there are still question marks of what Mike

835
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 1: McDaniel will be able to do with Tua. Remember y'all

836
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 1: saw how the flight is private jet flight and two

837
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: weeks and I believe in you. I'm gonna bring the

838
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: best out of you. Hopefully he can do that. I

839
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 1: still think the Patriots are that team that will try

840
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: to challenge the Bills. I understand the Buffalo is won

841
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: the last two AFC East titles, but when you have

842
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick and ma was played outstanding, and you know

843
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a top five defense in New England.

844
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,280
Speaker 1: I still think that you cannot sleep on the Patriots

845
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 1: and so so maybe the Jets will be that surprise team,

846
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: but I still see New England being the team that

847
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: rivals Buffalo. Now you talked about Maddy, brought up the

848
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: coordinators and things like that, talked about the guys stopping

849
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks. Bills had the number one defense in the

850
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,800
Speaker 1: league last year. Obviously, they've been very good. You played

851
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: for Leslie Frazier, You know what he's like. Just give

852
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: us a little more insight because we've heard so much,

853
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: so many great things, and we've gotten to know him obviously,

854
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: But how really incredible of a football coach he is. Yeah,

855
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: he's outstanding. And I was only with him for four weeks.

856
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: I didn't really get it. Get to understand you. I

857
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: was in training camp too, so they don't show you

858
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: the entire defense. But from what I saw during my

859
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: time in training camp, they are who they are. They

860
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: are physical, aggressive, attacking style of defense. That's who they are.

861
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: And they're also a smart defense. You look at the

862
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 1: way that the players play, specifically on the back end,

863
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: poor yeer and hiders two smart football players and so physical, aggressive, attacking,

864
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 1: and they what I experienced was that they want the

865
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: players to let their personalities show. Right. I love Trey

866
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: White like I got a chance to spend a little

867
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,720
Speaker 1: bit of time with him. I let your personality show

868
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: all across the board. And so I'm sad that Harry's gone.

869
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: Of course he was a good friend of mine. Harrison

870
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: Phillips Stars hasn't signed back, and so it'll be interesting

871
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: to see what happens on the inside. I think they're

872
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: you know, obviously there'll be some new people getting production

873
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 1: on the inside. But I just love how the fact

874
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: that he said, go and make plays, be aggressive, be attacking,

875
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: go hold back, go make the play. Yeah, we love

876
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: Leslie Fraser and the guys that are on the defense.

877
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: We want to ask you one more question though. You

878
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,399
Speaker 1: have a book out It's called Let the World See You.

879
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: It's a book about revealing your true self and it

880
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: will help crack the shell of people who are in

881
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: hiding and reveal the benefits of a lifestyle lived on purpose.

882
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,760
Speaker 1: Can you give us a little synopsis of the book

883
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: and let people know where they can purchase it if

884
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: they would like to. Definitely were funny enough. A lot

885
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: of this book was written right before I got to Buffalo,

886
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 1: and so I torn my pack. I was going on

887
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 1: my eighth year in the NFL, sign a multi year contract.

888
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: Then I tore my peck. Before that, I'd gotten benched,

889
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: and then then my household, like so many things happened.

890
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: I don't know if I was gonna play football again.

891
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: And I noticed during my time playing that though the

892
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: NFL is great with teammates and coaches all that stuff,

893
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 1: oftentimes people, whether you're an NFL player or not, we

894
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: tend to hide. We tend to pretend to, We tend

895
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: to put on these figurative masks just to try to

896
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: fit in. And I realized that that weight that we

897
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: carry is not healthy. And so as I started going

898
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: through my process of what it means to be vulnerable,

899
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: to be honest, to be authentic, I started realizing that

900
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: there's a huge benefit and freedom in being you and

901
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:55,359
Speaker 1: in letting the world see you. Specifically, I say, like

902
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 1: the subtitles how to be Real in a World full

903
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 1: of fakes, So much of what I experience we all

904
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 1: experience as people who are fake on social media, people

905
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: who are fake on Twitter, on Instagram, and this book

906
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: is about what it means to be real. I think

907
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,720
Speaker 1: that when you read this book, you'll understand the freedom

908
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:11,919
Speaker 1: that comes with being you and being real. And so

909
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: I during my time in Buffalo, even after I got

910
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: released from the team, I stayed in Buffalo for two

911
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: months and I was training and training and writing as well.

912
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: I'm working on in this book, and so a lot

913
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: of a lot of the pages that you'll read really

914
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: resonate with the stories of ups and downs that we

915
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 1: go through in life and also what it means to

916
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,280
Speaker 1: be vulnerable. So you can find the book at sam

917
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,240

00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: Bills Live is presented by Clyde Health on Buffalo Bills Radio.

934
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,240
Speaker 1: Welcome back into one Bills Live. We just had ESPN

935
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: NFL analyst Sam Acho on with us. He spent some

936
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:46,280
Speaker 1: time with the Bills during the twenty nineteen off season.

937
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 1: He said he was there for just a couple of weeks,

938
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 1: but it was enough time to just see how unique

939
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 1: and fun it is to be a part of this team,

940
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 1: to be a part of this culture. Talk about how

941
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is that dude, which is no surprise eyes

942
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: at all, but it's I think it's a little bit

943
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: interesting to hear from someone who just literally got like

944
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: a little taste of what Buffalo was like but quickly

945
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,959
Speaker 1: found out kind of all the things we hear about

946
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: what our players say about this team. Yeah, and it

947
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: hit really has changed. He was kind of right in

948
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:20,839
Speaker 1: the middle of it. When the change was really kind

949
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: of turning over and happening. You know, they had gone

950
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: to the playoffs in seventeen. Obviously they take the step

951
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: back in eighteen they draft Josh Allen. That's the year

952
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: rookie year. But the nineteen was when everything kind of

953
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 1: exploded and this team really really burst I think onto

954
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 1: the national scene where started to take notice. And I

955
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,359
Speaker 1: think right around then is when people started to also say,

956
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 1: I think that's a place that I want to go

957
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 1: to and play with that guy and that GM and

958
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: that head coach, and Sam was right in the middle

959
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 1: of it. It's wild how quickly things can change in

960
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: the NFL, and change so quickly for a team. Just

961
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 1: I mean, we've got the Sabers here in town too,

962
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: and it seems like they're starting to turn a new leaf.

963
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 1: A lot of excitement hopefully ahead for the team. But

964
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: just when you compare the two sports, the NFL on NHL,

965
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it takes a while for an NHL team

966
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: to turn things around or to do a true rebuild

967
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:11,280
Speaker 1: versus the NFL. Yeah, I was just thinking about the quote,

968
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: and I'd said this on the radio a couple of

969
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 1: weeks ago because something else had to reminded me. But

970
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 1: you're you're talking about this just reminded me. Jerry Glanville,

971
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: who used to be a head coach in the NFL,

972
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: and he was kind of a flamboyant, used to leave

973
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: tickets for Elvis all the time, things like that. He

974
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 1: was an assistant in Buffalo in nineteen eighty three, and

975
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 1: he had a great quote one time he said, Buffalo

976
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 1: made made us cry twice in our family, once when

977
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 1: we found out we had to go, and then once

978
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: we find out we had to leave, Oh my god.

979
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: That's what it's Buffalo is. It's the place where you

980
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: don't know, Like Maddie, you know you come here in

981
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, it was my first year. I remember like

982
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: announcing that I got the job for selling family and

983
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: friends and then people are like, why the hell are

984
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: you going to Buffalo? And now you're like, Michael, it's

985
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:51,399
Speaker 1: an NFL team is based here. That's why I'm going

986
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 1: to Buffalo. I don't care how great the town is, Like,

987
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: I'm going for an awesome job. And then you move

988
00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 1: here and you quick quickly realize how great everything is.

989
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 1: Now you you're making your family here with you getting

990
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: you know, getting married and living here, right. I mean,

991
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: I think I think that's the true Buffalo story. But

992
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 1: you just laid out which is like you, which is

993
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 1: people are like, what are you doing going there? Right?

994
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: What's that about? And then even you might even think, Okay, yeah,

995
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: I'm going there for a job. Whatever you get here,

996
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: you love the city, you love the place. Sam talked

997
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: about that and just like being here. And I think

998
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: it even goes more so for these guys who are

999
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 1: now part of this football team, these players who come

1000
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: here and look at a guy like Stefan Diggs. What

1001
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 1: did he say last week in his press conference? I

1002
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: thought it was really great how he said. When he

1003
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,399
Speaker 1: was traded here, he heard from so many people like, Oh,

1004
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: it's not You're not gonna like it there, he said,

1005
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: And you know what, he loves it here and that's

1006
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:41,959
Speaker 1: why he wanted to stay. And now obviously he's tied

1007
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen and the Bills for a long time.

1008
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,879
Speaker 1: And I think that that's that's what Buffalo has become.

1009
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: I think around the national football I'll go to bout

1010
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 1: for Buffalo any day, anytime anybody asks me. You know,

1011
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: how I like it. What I've thought of Buffalo. If

1012
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 1: you know, even after my first year, people are how

1013
00:47:57,800 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: long are you going to be here? A while? I

1014
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,439
Speaker 1: really enjoyed here. I love Buffalo, I love the team,

1015
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 1: I love my job. And you know, everybody says that

1016
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 1: once they get here, once they're here for a year

1017
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: or so. It's funny because I had some people tell

1018
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: me when I first got here, when I was quickly meeting,

1019
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, people who work for the bills, people that

1020
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 1: have become family and friends to me. Basically, they were like,

1021
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo does this weird thing where you end up staying

1022
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, whether it's a job or whether it's somebody else.

1023
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,800
Speaker 1: And I'm moving to Buffalo single and I'm like, yeah, whatever,

1024
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm not going to meet anybody in Buffalo. So I

1025
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 1: was being a hater at first too, not about the job,

1026
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 1: but you know, just about the city a little bit,

1027
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:38,879
Speaker 1: not knowing. And then I met my fiance, who didn't

1028
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: live in Buffalo at the time, but he's from Buffalo.

1029
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,799
Speaker 1: And so now people laugh at me because they're like, huh,

1030
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,839
Speaker 1: you met your fiance soon to be husband and he's

1031
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:50,280
Speaker 1: from Buffalo. So Buffalo just has a way of keeping

1032
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,760
Speaker 1: you here. But I think that's a good thing, no,

1033
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. So I think it's cool when

1034
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 1: we hear stories like that from guys like Sam Macho.

1035
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 1: And he's high on the football team too, and rightfully so,

1036
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: and a lot of people are right now, Bills are

1037
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: the betting line favorite to win the Super Bowl at

1038
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 1: many sports, both sports books. We had that a lot

1039
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 1: this past season, two once once we got into the playoffs,

1040
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: are close to the playoffs. And now I'm like, I

1041
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 1: don't want that smoke, Like, don't put it, don't put

1042
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 1: it near this team. I want them to be doubted.

1043
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 1: Don't put them super Bowl favorites. I'm sure. I mean,

1044
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: some of them look at that stuff, some of them don't.

1045
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 1: Some of them use it as fuel, some of them don't.

1046
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 1: But I'm like, just don't, don't look at the Bills.

1047
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 1: Let them do their thing and quiet and we'll come

1048
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 1: onto the scene when we need to. We're gonna take

1049
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 1: a break. When we come back, we're going to dip

1050
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: into the phone lines. We've got Joe who's been hanging

1051
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 1: on for a while, so we'll take his call. If

1052
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,880
Speaker 1: you guys want to tune into the conversation, give us

1053
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 1: call here. Eight oh, three h five fifty. What's the

1054
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: one move the Bills made this offseason that will help

1055
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen the most. We're taking your calls. In the

1069
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 1: help Josh Allen the most? Sal Your answer a great one,

1070
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 1: was Ken Dorsey moving into that offensive coordinator role and

1071
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:14,280
Speaker 1: just having someone a familiar face in place yet again

1072
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,280
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen. To continue to grow. I haven't answered

1073
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 1: the question yet. You've been holding out on us. I've

1074
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 1: been I've been told in a mad I've not heard

1075
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 1: your answer yet. The listeners are waiting for your answer

1076
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: on the what move the Bills have made to help

1077
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen the motion I'm gonna go defense. I believe

1078
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:34,360
Speaker 1: it is von Miller. I'm sure it is a popular

1079
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: answer once we look on the tweet sheet, which we

1080
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 1: will do later, but I think it's von Miller for

1081
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:43,360
Speaker 1: a bunch of reasons. I mean, the Buffalo Bills have

1082
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 1: a pass rush, they have some great players on the

1083
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:50,359
Speaker 1: team on the defensive line. They needed that guy, and

1084
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 1: I think von Miller we will be able to fill

1085
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: in that hole. There's several young players on the defensive line,

1086
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: as we heard sam Acho talk about in the one

1087
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:02,360
Speaker 1: thirty hour when he was on with US and was

1088
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:05,840
Speaker 1: talking about the addition of von Miller. I think he

1089
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: brings a veteran presence to the room. I think he's

1090
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: going to help people play better alongside him. The way

1091
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 1: that he gets out for the quarterback, the stats that

1092
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:20,280
Speaker 1: he has. He's playing the NFL for a long time

1093
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 1: and continues to have productive seasons. He's had one, two, three, four, five, six,

1094
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 1: seven double digit seasons with sack numbers. He had eighteen

1095
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: and a half in twenty twelve, had fourteen and a

1096
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 1: half in twenty eighteen. He was huge for the Rams

1097
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 1: in their Super Bowl game. I mean what he was

1098
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 1: able to do in the playoffs and what he's known

1099
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 1: for being able to turn it on in games that

1100
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 1: truly matter. I think is something that the Buffalo Bills lacked.

1101
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 1: I think is something that they're going to get in

1102
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:56,239
Speaker 1: von Miller. I think Jerry Hughes and Mario Addison were

1103
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:59,800
Speaker 1: wonderful assets to the Buffalo Bills. I think they filled

1104
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 1: in a veteran presence role. I think they were leaders

1105
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 1: on the team in a lot of different ways. We're

1106
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 1: not sure what the future holds with them, so I

1107
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 1: think the addition of von Miller helps fill the hole

1108
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:13,799
Speaker 1: that's there right now. I think they needed somebody who

1109
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:17,800
Speaker 1: was going to be that pass rusher we hear Brandon

1110
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 1: Bean talk about all the time. Pass rushers are so

1111
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 1: important in this league. When I see a good pass rusher,

1112
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 1: I want to draft a good pass rusher. What did

1113
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: the Bills do in the draft last year? Round one,

1114
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 1: round two, Greg Russo, Boogie Basham, you can't get enough

1115
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 1: of them. According to Brandon Being, I think he is

1116
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 1: a special player. I think there's not a lot of

1117
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 1: players like him in the NFL. People may point to

1118
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 1: how old he is. Does he have anything left in

1119
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,439
Speaker 1: the tank? I certainly think he does, and I think

1120
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 1: he's going to make an impact on this team on

1121
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 1: day one. I think that's what the Bills need. They

1122
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 1: don't need another rookie edge rusher. Who knows, maybe they'll

1123
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: get one in the draft, but he's going to be

1124
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 1: able to make a big impact on day one. I

1125
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 1: think it helps out Josh Allen because I think von

1126
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: Miller is going to put the ball back in the

1127
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:08,760
Speaker 1: offense's hands a lot more often, and that's what they needed.

1128
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 1: They needed that closer on defense. I think he is

1129
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 1: that guy, and I think he's going to play a

1130
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 1: big role on the defense, in the locker room, and

1131
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: on this team as a whole. So I think he's

1132
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: the biggest help for Josh Allen. Yeah, and I agree

1133
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 1: with your sentiment about having left in the tank, like

1134
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 1: this is a position where you can play into your

1135
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 1: mid thirties at a high level. Lots of guys have.

1136
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 1: He just turned thirty three last month. Von Miller he

1137
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 1: signed with the Bills. He turns thirty three, so he

1138
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 1: still has I think good football left in him. And

1139
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning once called this man the greatest athlete he

1140
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 1: ever played with. He keeps his body finally tuned. He's

1141
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 1: obviously a leader. He's dialed in. I mean, this is

1142
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:46,799
Speaker 1: guy is all about winning championships. He's already won two

1143
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:49,839
Speaker 1: of them. He's been an MVP. I like your point

1144
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: about because I think people are wondering, what do you mean, Maddie,

1145
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 1: how can he help Josh Allen. That's a great point.

1146
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 1: Putting the ball back in your offensive hands. And do

1147
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:00,400
Speaker 1: you think there's a sense that when you have that

1148
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 1: kind of a pass rusher, when you have that kind

1149
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 1: of a player, maybe there's a sense that the Bills

1150
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 1: don't feel they have to outscore everyone. Maybe doesn't have

1151
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 1: to get to a shootout. Hey, you know what, we

1152
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:13,359
Speaker 1: don't have to necessarily try to get a game into

1153
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:15,400
Speaker 1: the thirties. If we have a guy like von Miller

1154
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 1: on the other side that's keeping the other offense down

1155
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 1: a little bit. That could help Josh Allen in and

1156
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 1: of itself. Yeah, I agree. The defense had an incredible

1157
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 1: year last year. They were number one in the NFL,

1158
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 1: but some games they maybe didn't look like the number

1159
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:32,840
Speaker 1: one defense in the NFL, and in the playoffs you

1160
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 1: saw that a little bit. Look at the AFC, it

1161
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 1: is going to be so hard to compete with some

1162
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 1: of these teams because of the offenses that we're seeing.

1163
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:44,439
Speaker 1: You need a defense to stop the opposing team from

1164
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: scoring a lot of points. I think at times you

1165
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,959
Speaker 1: wanted the offense to finish out the game. You wanted

1166
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:54,479
Speaker 1: the offense to be on the field to end the game.

1167
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 1: You wanted the offense to put up more points to

1168
00:55:57,080 --> 00:55:59,800
Speaker 1: end the game. I think you should want the defense

1169
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,239
Speaker 1: on the field to end the game just as much.

1170
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:08,280
Speaker 1: And in twenty twenty we saw a defense that wasn't

1171
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 1: like a twenty nineteen defense, wasn't like a twenty twenty

1172
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:14,319
Speaker 1: one defense, And that's when we wanted the offense to

1173
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:17,840
Speaker 1: finish games. Last year, the defense had had a great season.

1174
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 1: This year, I think they can take it a step

1175
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:23,920
Speaker 1: further with the addition of von Miller. I think we

1176
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 1: want the defense on the field to finish games. I

1177
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,719
Speaker 1: think having a defense who can maybe even limit opposing

1178
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:33,760
Speaker 1: offenses more than our defense did this past season. Gives

1179
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:37,960
Speaker 1: the offense, like you said, maybe a game or two

1180
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 1: here or there, they don't need to score that extra

1181
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 1: touchdown because the defense has held that team to sixteen

1182
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: points to under twenty points. I think he's going to

1183
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 1: play a big role in helping Josh Allen and helping

1184
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 1: take some of the stress off Josh Allen's back. And

1185
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 1: I think the other thing that can happen to is

1186
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 1: it's it's it's maybe that one extra possession they get

1187
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 1: because you know, you get the ball back. How about

1188
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 1: just that little bit of change and field position because

1189
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 1: you make a play, you get a sack, you take

1190
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 1: them out of field goal range, you get a strip,

1191
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 1: sack and fumble Josh and the offense takes over at

1192
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: the twenty five versus getting the ball in their own

1193
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:11,879
Speaker 1: territory in a punt. Right now, all of a sudden,

1194
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 1: you're talking about a four point swing seven verses three,

1195
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 1: as far as a touchdown versus a field goal. So,

1196
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 1: no doubt, I think that if you can have playmakers,

1197
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 1: game changing playmakers on the defensive side of the ball,

1198
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:27,680
Speaker 1: that can no doubt help your offense, and sometimes Maddie honestly, like,

1199
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 1: it's funny we're sitting here talking. Here we are on

1200
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 1: April eleventh, the team reports for their first day of

1201
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 1: offseason workouts in eight days. I forget sometimes von Miller's

1202
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 1: on the Buffalo Bills. And it's amazing to think about

1203
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 1: von Miller's on the Buffalo Bills. Like you bring it

1204
00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 1: up and I'm like, oh, yeah, they got von Miller.

1205
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: How can you forget about it? Because he signs this

1206
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:47,439
Speaker 1: huge contract. He's gonna walk into the Hall of Fame

1207
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 1: five years after his career is over. But it's true,

1208
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 1: like they have this really good roster and it's Josh Allen,

1209
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Look what they've done on offense. Oh, by

1210
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 1: the way, they added von Miller a month ago, and

1211
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 1: you add players like von Miller because of the way

1212
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 1: the AFC looks right now. Because you need to stop

1213
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, because you need to stop Justin Herbert, because

1214
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 1: you need to stop Joe Burrow. I talked about what

1215
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: the AFC looks like with their quarterbacks and the offenses,

1216
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 1: and his teams were loading up on offense and offense,

1217
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 1: whether it be quarterbacks, wide receivers, running backs, offensive line.

1218
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 1: What did you see? You saw opponents start to load

1219
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 1: up on defense. It's become a chess match in the AFC.

1220
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 1: These games are going to be incredible to watch. We

1221
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: may get a couple Bills Chiefs games this season because

1222
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 1: of what the AFC looks like, because of the playmakers

1223
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 1: on these teams, and because of the crazy defenses that

1224
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 1: we're seeing built. I could go, like Nerd into depth

1225
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 1: just about like the evolution of the NFL over the

1226
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 1: last five years and what we're seeing to translate from

1227
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 1: the college game into the NFL, and how it's playing

1228
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 1: an effect on NFL defenses, and how defenses have had

1229
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 1: to get quicker and longer and faster and more explosive

1230
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 1: because of guys like Josh Allen, because of guys like

1231
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. Your defenses have to completely change because of

1232
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 1: what we're seeing out of quarterbacks. Because we're seeing quarterbacks

1233
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 1: who have cannon arms, and we're seeing quarterbacks who can

1234
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 1: take off on their feet whenever they want to. That

1235
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 1: creates defense that has to be quicker, that has to

1236
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:28,640
Speaker 1: be more explosive, that has to be able to impact

1237
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 1: the quarterback from your defensive line all the way down

1238
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 1: to the secondary, we see a lot. We see a

1239
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 1: lot of nickel coverage in the NFL nowadays because of

1240
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 1: the way that the game is played. I mean, look

1241
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 1: at the way that we play defense. We are a

1242
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 1: four two defense. We don't play a three four. We

1243
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 1: don't see three or four linebackers on the field a lot.

1244
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 1: Sometimes we do when we're playing against run heavy teams,

1245
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 1: but oftentimes you're seeing just Matt Malana and Tremaine Edmonds

1246
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 1: on the field. And that's because of co backs like

1247
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, justin Herbert, Joe Burrow, Russell Wilson. I mean,

1248
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:07,920
Speaker 1: you could go down the line, we're going to see

1249
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 1: a lot of them. And on top of it, the

1250
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 1: way they receive. The receiver position has evolved. You know,

1251
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 1: it used to be you had a certain player that

1252
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:16,960
Speaker 1: was a slot receiver. Right now everybody can kind of

1253
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 1: do it a little bit. They can go inside, they

1254
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 1: Cannas can go outside. But even if you're just a

1255
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 1: slot guy, you get the Cole Beasley's. But also now

1256
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:23,720
Speaker 1: you get the bigger players who can play in the

1257
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 1: slot as well. They're gonna be tougher to match up

1258
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 1: and things like that. How about the Deebo Samuels of

1259
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 1: the world, right of the San Francisco forty nine ers,

1260
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 1: the guys now who you try to just put the

1261
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: ball in their hands wherever they can. You gotta have

1262
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 1: athletes on the field. You gotta have playmakers. You've got

1263
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 1: to have people who actually can go sideline to sideline

1264
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:42,240
Speaker 1: and do different things. It's funny, so I have I

1265
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 1: always my Twitter at sales sports people want to check

1266
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 1: it out. My pin tweet is always the Bills roster,

1267
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 1: and every time there's a change, I update it. Right.

1268
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 1: So one of the things I do is I highlight

1269
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 1: the new additions. And it stands out to me that

1270
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 1: once again, here we are. There are five new additions

1271
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 1: on the Bills defensive line to a defensive end, Von

1272
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 1: Miller and Shack Lawson, defensive teackle, tackle, Tim Settled, de

1273
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 1: Kwon Jones, Jordan Phillips. And you're right, I think that

1274
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 1: this is a direct response to what we're seeing around

1275
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 1: the AFC. You gotta have penetrators. You gotta have guys

1276
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 1: who can get to the quarterback from the interior, not

1277
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:15,840
Speaker 1: just the exterior. You got to put pressure on the quarterback.

1278
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 1: What do we always hear them say get him off

1279
01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 1: his spot, make him move, things like that. So the

1280
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 1: Bills have more than any other position on the team.

1281
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 1: This year. They have kind of overhauled the defensive line

1282
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 1: group and I like what they've done a lot, and

1283
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 1: I think that that is going to be something that

1284
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 1: they can kind of do a little bit differently this year.

1285
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:36,800
Speaker 1: Get after the quarterback in a few different ways every

1286
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 1: single week, Mad do you think about? Every single week

1287
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 1: a defensive and offensive coordinator is going to have to

1288
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 1: think about in game plan? Where is von Miller? How

1289
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 1: do we attack him? How do we block him? When's

1290
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:51,000
Speaker 1: the last time Bills have really had a guy? Jery

1291
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 1: Hughess have been a nice player? He's not. He's not

1292
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 1: someone the an offensive coordinator for four five straight nights goes,

1293
01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 1: how am I going to do right? How can we

1294
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 1: make a game plan that's right? It's it's yeah. We

1295
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 1: gotta be aware of He's a good player, he's a

1296
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 1: solid player. He's put his time in this league. Von

1297
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 1: Miller's just a different cat. He's a guy that's gonna

1298
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 1: make every single offensive coordinator and offensive line coach have

1299
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 1: to adjust how they perform every single week. Specifically, for him. Yeah,

1300
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 1: I completely agree our twitter conversation what we've been talking about.

1301
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:22,680
Speaker 1: What's the one move the Bills made this offseason that

1302
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 1: will help Josh Allen the most. We're gonna go to

1303
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 1: the phone lines and see if anybody else wants to

1304
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:31,400
Speaker 1: add to the Twitter conversation or talk a little bit

1305
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:34,880
Speaker 1: of off season Bill from Depeu, you are on with us.

1306
01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 1: How are you doing today, Billy guys? I'm really enjoying

1307
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 1: the deal. And one position that I would say maybe

1308
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 1: they didn't address, would be punter. I would like to

1309
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 1: know what you guys think of possibly. I mean, there's

1310
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 1: one guy in this draft I believe from San Diego's

1311
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 1: fate really sticks out. I mean, would be be willing

1312
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:02,440
Speaker 1: to maybe blow fifth rounder? You know? I mean because

1313
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:06,160
Speaker 1: is it really blowing? Because I mean, are we given

1314
01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 1: Josh Yellen another another tool with Proverbably they'd be like

1315
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 1: a great hunter. What do you guys? What do you

1316
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 1: guys think? His name is Matta Raiza. By the way, yeah,

1317
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 1: he is tremendous. Um I would say, yeah, it's not

1318
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 1: blowing it. If you what Tyler Bass was a fifth rounder? Right?

1319
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:26,640
Speaker 1: Tyler Bass was a fifth round? You think about sixth

1320
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:28,400
Speaker 1: rounders for there he goes they two I think that year.

1321
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 1: But I think if if you can, if you believe

1322
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:33,160
Speaker 1: that that's going to help your team and be a

1323
01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 1: little bit of a weapon for you, then I don't

1324
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 1: think it's blowing a draft pick. I would not put

1325
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 1: it past this team to draft a punter this year.

1326
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:41,320
Speaker 1: I do think. Look, Brandon Bean said himself in his

1327
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:43,040
Speaker 1: end of the year press conference when we met with him,

1328
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 1: Maddie over and you were in there with the in

1329
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:47,400
Speaker 1: the media room, he said he said they're going to

1330
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 1: be looking at punters this offseason. Now they did that.

1331
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,800
Speaker 1: Then they tweaked Matt Hawk's contract and he's coming back.

1332
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 1: It's not like they moved on from him. I believe

1333
01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:58,320
Speaker 1: they still think Matt Hawk can help them, and he

1334
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:00,120
Speaker 1: had a down year and they want to see that

1335
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:02,959
Speaker 1: he's insurance right now. But to me, there's no way.

1336
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:05,479
Speaker 1: I don't think they go to camp with one punter.

1337
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 1: I think they go with two and they let Matt

1338
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:10,800
Speaker 1: Hawk compete for the job. I think no matter who

1339
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 1: your punter is, the Bills are always going to go

1340
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 1: into camp with two punters because that is how Sean

1341
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 1: McDermott operates. They love competition. They love guys competing and

1342
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:23,560
Speaker 1: making each other better. It's something they do every offseason.

1343
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 1: The competition battles that we get to see throughout camp,

1344
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 1: whether it's an intense competition or just a couple guys

1345
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 1: that are all competing maybe for second, second string, third

1346
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:37,840
Speaker 1: string spots. The competition is intense during training camp, and

1347
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:40,560
Speaker 1: I totally agree. I don't think there's gonna be just

1348
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 1: one punter this offseason. I definitely think there's going to

1349
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 1: be two. In Matt Hawk's defense, think about the games

1350
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:49,400
Speaker 1: that he had to punt, and not even just the

1351
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 1: home game, some of the away games. The weather was

1352
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 1: absolutely terrible. You've got a Miami kid and you know

1353
01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:58,960
Speaker 1: you're on the sideline. D Yeah. My eight years on

1354
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,880
Speaker 1: the sidelines, the worst weather consistently I've ever had one.

1355
01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 1: You would come up to the booth during halftime. I'd

1356
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 1: be like, Oh my gosh, are you alive? Are you okay?

1357
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:10,200
Speaker 1: It was incredible, the wind, the rain. I had to

1358
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 1: I had to change clothes, like every clothes on my body.

1359
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 1: I was changing everything underneath. Even after the Houston During

1360
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 1: the halftime of the Houston game, Houston Texans come here

1361
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 1: in what week four it was? I think it was

1362
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 1: right three or four. It was the most beautiful Saturday,

1363
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 1: and then Sunday just a downpour. But yeah, the wind.

1364
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:31,000
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think I do think that

1365
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 1: is a that is tough. It's tough to punt in

1366
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:36,919
Speaker 1: those conditions. Let's also remember Brandonbean has said this, Matt

1367
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:40,240
Speaker 1: Hawk is a great holder, and Tyler Bass had a

1368
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 1: great season. They do not want to mess It's not

1369
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:46,400
Speaker 1: the end all be all. It's not You're not gonna

1370
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:48,560
Speaker 1: just say, well, he's just a holder, show who cares

1371
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 1: how how inconsistent a punter he is. But they kind

1372
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:54,280
Speaker 1: of did that as the year went on because the

1373
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 1: punter was they were scoring so many touchdowns. Anyway, how

1374
01:05:57,480 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 1: important does the punter become where, hey, you don't want

1375
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 1: to mess up with Tyler mess with Tyler Bass. So

1376
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:03,000
Speaker 1: you look at a guy like Matta Raisa for example,

1377
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:06,520
Speaker 1: right the caller brings him up San Diego State. Question

1378
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 1: you do have to ask is can we teach him

1379
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 1: to be a really good holder. It's not something he

1380
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 1: normally does. That's a question whether whether fans or listeners

1381
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:19,840
Speaker 1: agree or disagree with that philosophy. It is the Bill's philosophy.

1382
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:22,320
Speaker 1: They want to make sure that they have somebody in

1383
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 1: that position who can allow Tyler Bass to be the

1384
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 1: best Tyler Bass. That's important to them, and Matt Hawk

1385
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:30,320
Speaker 1: allows that to happen. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see

1386
01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:33,240
Speaker 1: what happens at that position. If there's a team that's

1387
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:35,480
Speaker 1: not afraid of drafting a punter, I think it's the

1388
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:38,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills based on what they did with Tyler Bass,

1389
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 1: based on the impact that he's had on the roster.

1390
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 1: I totally see them or could see them drafting a

1391
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:49,240
Speaker 1: punter in the sixth or seventh round, depending on where

1392
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 1: he's supposed to go. But this guy has talked about

1393
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 1: as being like the dude at punter. I mean when

1394
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 1: you look up some of whether it be articles, whether

1395
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:03,320
Speaker 1: it be his staff online, I mean unanimous All American

1396
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 1: Andy Ray Ray Guy Award winner last year. I'm showing

1397
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:08,200
Speaker 1: my age. A lot of people know exactly. I'm sure

1398
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 1: you know who Ray Guys. I watched raybe Guy punt

1399
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 1: as a kid, and he was the standard. Like Ray

1400
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 1: Guy was incredible And anytime you are mentioned in the

1401
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 1: same breath as him, and wouldn't award named after him.

1402
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 1: It shows you how good he is. He's a placekicker

1403
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:22,120
Speaker 1: as well. By the way, he had eighteen punts of

1404
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:25,120
Speaker 1: sixty plus yards in twenty twenty one, including two at

1405
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:29,080
Speaker 1: eighty or more yards, incredible net average of nearly fifty

1406
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:32,240
Speaker 1: yards on open field punts. I'm reading from his draft

1407
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 1: profile on NFL dot Com right now. Hit sixty two

1408
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 1: of seventy three kickoffs for touchbacks over the course of

1409
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 1: the entire twenty twenty one season. So those are just

1410
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 1: a few of his incredible stats. So we'll see what

1411
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills do, whether it's a punter in the

1412
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:49,800
Speaker 1: NFL draft or whether it's a punter somewhere throughout the offseason.

1413
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 1: I think they do add to that position group along

1414
01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 1: with Matt Hawk. We'll go back to the phone lines.

1415
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 1: We have got Dennis from Jamestown on with us. Dennis,

1416
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:03,880
Speaker 1: how are you today, Hi, Maddie hisel. I love the

1417
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:06,000
Speaker 1: program no matter who's behind the mic, you all do

1418
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 1: a great job. Appreciate it. Yeah, I wanted to ask

1419
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 1: you about Mike Shula and what is his modus operendi

1420
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:17,240
Speaker 1: and how do you think he'll influence the offense? Why

1421
01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 1: did they bring him in another offensive mine just another guy,

1422
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 1: and I'll hang up and listen. I just wanted to

1423
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:25,679
Speaker 1: know what you thought about this, Mike Shula. Thanks Dennis

1424
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:29,400
Speaker 1: so Mike Schula was added on to these Bills staff

1425
01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 1: this offseason. He's the senior offensive assistant. And we saw

1426
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 1: a bunch of different positions kind of be added on

1427
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:38,760
Speaker 1: to the staff this offseason at work. Maybe not all

1428
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:42,280
Speaker 1: senior offensive assistant, but a lot of assistant roles, a

1429
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:45,599
Speaker 1: lot of roles like that. And I think back to

1430
01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:48,240
Speaker 1: my time working in college football. I worked for the

1431
01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:50,679
Speaker 1: University of Tennessee for four years, I went to MISSOO,

1432
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:54,080
Speaker 1: and the amount of people they have on coaching staffs

1433
01:08:54,120 --> 01:08:58,519
Speaker 1: at college football programs and teams is absolutely wild. Every

1434
01:08:58,520 --> 01:09:02,519
Speaker 1: single position groups had has an assistant, has an intern,

1435
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:05,280
Speaker 1: has an assistant to the assistant. And I think with

1436
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:07,720
Speaker 1: some of these hires that you're seeing right now, I

1437
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 1: mean you're seeing Mike Shula as the offensive assistant. You're

1438
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:15,960
Speaker 1: seeing different guys who are being added in assistant roles.

1439
01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 1: And I think Mike Shula is a really interesting name

1440
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:21,800
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills. I mean, you know what what

1441
01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:26,240
Speaker 1: Mike Shula did in the NFL when you look up

1442
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:30,400
Speaker 1: his coaching profile from the from the Bucks to the Dolphins,

1443
01:09:30,400 --> 01:09:33,599
Speaker 1: to the Bears, to Alabama being a head coach there

1444
01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:37,360
Speaker 1: for three years, to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Panthers, the Giants,

1445
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 1: the Broncos. I'm just running down the list of places

1446
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:42,120
Speaker 1: that he has coached at. He has he has been

1447
01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:44,519
Speaker 1: a bunch of places. He has seen a bunch of things.

1448
01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 1: There was the overlap there in Carolina with Sean McDermott. So,

1449
01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:52,160
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott does know Mike Shula when he was the

1450
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:56,559
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator with the Panthers from twenty thirteen to twenty seventeen.

1451
01:09:56,640 --> 01:10:00,559
Speaker 1: That was when um Sean was the defensive coordinator with

1452
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:04,040
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers there. So I think it'll be interesting

1453
01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:05,920
Speaker 1: to see what he's going to do. Do I know

1454
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,640
Speaker 1: exactly what he's going to do. No. I assume he

1455
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 1: will oversee the offense in a few different ways. What

1456
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 1: do you kind of think about a position like this? Well,

1457
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:18,519
Speaker 1: I asked Sean McDermot about this at the owners meetings

1458
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:22,000
Speaker 1: and I thought it was interesting his answer about once again,

1459
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 1: it goes back to and we've heard this from Sean McDermot,

1460
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:26,599
Speaker 1: So Dennis, I think, I think to answer your overall question,

1461
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 1: he's just providing more of a voice in the room,

1462
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:32,679
Speaker 1: is what he's doing. Right. He's another guy to lean on, essentially,

1463
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:35,200
Speaker 1: and I think that the Bills really just love having that.

1464
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:39,840
Speaker 1: It's extremely and I mean extremely important to this organization

1465
01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:41,920
Speaker 1: that that quarterback room is right. How many times have

1466
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:44,840
Speaker 1: we heard Sean McDermott talk about the communication in the

1467
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:48,240
Speaker 1: quarterback room. Think about the names and the people they

1468
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:51,639
Speaker 1: lost and the names and the people that they've brought in.

1469
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 1: Now you talked about Maddie, the overlap with McDermott and Carolina,

1470
01:10:56,840 --> 01:10:59,400
Speaker 1: it was also an overlap with Ken Dorsey. Ken Dorsey

1471
01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:01,720
Speaker 1: was actually under Mike Schiel and Caroline. He was the

1472
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:05,320
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coach for four years where and Mike Shula was

1473
01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:07,720
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator for four years maybe five, and they

1474
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:09,840
Speaker 1: work together. So now you have Ken Dorsey as the

1475
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:13,799
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, you have Mike Shula as the senior offensive assistant,

1476
01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:15,680
Speaker 1: you have Joe Brady in the room, and let's not

1477
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:19,439
Speaker 1: forget case Keenum and Matt Barkley. This is a this

1478
01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:22,080
Speaker 1: is a really really smart quarterback room. Yeah, it's a

1479
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:25,120
Speaker 1: smart offensive room, but especially with the quarterbacks. So I

1480
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:27,080
Speaker 1: think Dennis, to answer your question, what is his role.

1481
01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:30,920
Speaker 1: His role is to have another person who is trusted,

1482
01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:33,559
Speaker 1: who can be leaned on, who's been through it all,

1483
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:36,160
Speaker 1: who's seen it all, who can provide advice, who could

1484
01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:38,080
Speaker 1: provide perspective and can help out in a lot of

1485
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:41,439
Speaker 1: different ways. Yeah, and you know with his title, I

1486
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:44,439
Speaker 1: talked about all these different coaches who were seeing being

1487
01:11:44,479 --> 01:11:47,680
Speaker 1: added onto the staff. We definitely saw a lot of

1488
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:51,360
Speaker 1: additions this offseason on Sean mcdermot's coaching staff. I think

1489
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:54,200
Speaker 1: the most that we've seen since Sean McDermott has become

1490
01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:56,679
Speaker 1: the head coach. You know, John Butler adds passing game

1491
01:11:56,720 --> 01:12:00,439
Speaker 1: coordinator to his title. You have a defensive quality control coach.

1492
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:03,839
Speaker 1: You have an assistant special teams. You have another defensive

1493
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:07,000
Speaker 1: quality control coach. You have Mike Shula as the senior

1494
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:11,240
Speaker 1: offensive assistant. You need so many different people to help

1495
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:16,240
Speaker 1: hold up this team. It takes like a small army

1496
01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:18,479
Speaker 1: to be able to hold up an NFL team, whether

1497
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:21,080
Speaker 1: it be the coaching staff or the people that deal

1498
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:23,240
Speaker 1: with these players, whether it be on the field or

1499
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:26,920
Speaker 1: off the field. The coaching staff, there's a big number

1500
01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:30,439
Speaker 1: to their staff. And there's a reason that NFL coaching

1501
01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 1: staffs or college coaching staffs have so many different people

1502
01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:35,960
Speaker 1: in the room, so many different people to oversee the

1503
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:41,800
Speaker 1: offense or the defense. It's a long season. Not everybody

1504
01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:45,280
Speaker 1: can catch everything. You want as many minds in the

1505
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:47,040
Speaker 1: room as you can get in the room. And I

1506
01:12:47,080 --> 01:12:50,960
Speaker 1: think adding Mike Shula to the staff on an offensive

1507
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:54,320
Speaker 1: side of things, and knowing where he's been, what he

1508
01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 1: has done, who he has overlapped with, I think is

1509
01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 1: a really smart hire from just the type of mind

1510
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 1: that you get in him. Yeah, and let's think about

1511
01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:06,040
Speaker 1: the experience where how much experience you had with Brian

1512
01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:08,840
Speaker 1: Dable and everything he had to now Ken Dorsey whose

1513
01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:10,880
Speaker 1: first year calling plays in the NFL. He has Joe

1514
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 1: Brady who did call plays for a year and a

1515
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:15,160
Speaker 1: half in the NFL. But now you add that layer

1516
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:17,120
Speaker 1: of a guy with a lot more experience who can

1517
01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:18,680
Speaker 1: be a part of that room. And I think that's

1518
01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:20,479
Speaker 1: very important. What did Sean McDermott do when he was

1519
01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 1: hired as the Bills head coach. One of the first

1520
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:24,120
Speaker 1: moves he made was he hired Leslie Fraser as his

1521
01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:27,800
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, and that was also clearly a move to

1522
01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:30,479
Speaker 1: make sure I have someone next to me and in

1523
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:32,840
Speaker 1: my room with me who's been through this, who has

1524
01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:35,200
Speaker 1: seen it all, who I can lean on, who provides

1525
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:37,479
Speaker 1: me that perspective and that experience that maybe I haven't

1526
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:39,479
Speaker 1: seen something. There's an issue that comes up, how to

1527
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:41,759
Speaker 1: deal with something you have that I think Mike Shula

1528
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:43,760
Speaker 1: provides that for Ken Dorsey and Joe Brady. I think

1529
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:47,519
Speaker 1: really cool, this offense is gonna look just behind the scenes,

1530
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:50,280
Speaker 1: behind the curtain. Who's helping with this offense, I think

1531
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:55,280
Speaker 1: is some fascinating names, some really cool people, really interested

1532
01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:57,680
Speaker 1: to see how it looks on the field. Once we

1533
01:13:57,720 --> 01:14:00,240
Speaker 1: get to that first week one game, All right, break

1534
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:03,000
Speaker 1: time for us. Don't go anywhere. We will be back

1535
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:05,560
Speaker 1: here on One Bills Live, represented by Kalida Health on

1536
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:22,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. Weloc back into one Bills Live. As

1537
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:25,400
Speaker 1: we begin to close off the show here, we've still

1538
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:27,519
Speaker 1: got a couple of callers hanging on the phone line,

1539
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:31,360
Speaker 1: so we'll go right to the phone lines here. Chuck

1540
01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:36,960
Speaker 1: from Chicago joins us. Chuck, how are you doing today? Hey? Great, Maddie,

1541
01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:39,280
Speaker 1: how are you? How are you saying? I'm wow, thank you,

1542
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:43,040
Speaker 1: thanks for calling. Hey, big fans of both of you

1543
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:45,840
Speaker 1: have called in a few times. Grew up in Western

1544
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:48,280
Speaker 1: New York, that lived in Chicago for thirty years, but

1545
01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:52,599
Speaker 1: still always come home for a game or two. And

1546
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:55,679
Speaker 1: I love both of your responses in term what's gonna

1547
01:14:55,720 --> 01:14:58,200
Speaker 1: happen to? Josh Allen agree with you, and I just

1548
01:14:58,240 --> 01:15:00,679
Speaker 1: think it's such a great question because also a third

1549
01:15:00,720 --> 01:15:03,680
Speaker 1: one that I thought of was just the addition of

1550
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:07,960
Speaker 1: Roger Stafford as well as Oj Howard. Did you think

1551
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 1: of what that does to our offense in terms of

1552
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:13,840
Speaker 1: versatility and should be able to help our run game.

1553
01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 1: But then even if you think about going off balance,

1554
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:19,559
Speaker 1: and if you have Knox and OJ on the field

1555
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:24,879
Speaker 1: and uh Dawkins and then Stafford go along with um,

1556
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:28,599
Speaker 1: you know, their center, then that just makes the team

1557
01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:31,680
Speaker 1: just so much stronger in terms of options that they

1558
01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:34,559
Speaker 1: can do. Yeah, you know Roger Staffold he um, he

1559
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:36,360
Speaker 1: does add a lot obviously, and you know you can

1560
01:15:36,479 --> 01:15:38,200
Speaker 1: do a few things off balance. But I do love

1561
01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:40,240
Speaker 1: the point about OJ Howard being on the field with

1562
01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:43,240
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox because Chuck, I think we're going to see

1563
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:46,160
Speaker 1: more of that this year. Just from reading the tea leaves,

1564
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:48,080
Speaker 1: I think this year that's right. You've heard it talked

1565
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:50,320
Speaker 1: about by the coaching staff a little bit too, when

1566
01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:52,760
Speaker 1: when we've asked questions kind of pointed out, are you

1567
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:55,160
Speaker 1: going to use too two tight ends? So I think

1568
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:58,000
Speaker 1: that would be something fun to see. Um, do you

1569
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:01,240
Speaker 1: think O. J. Howard can also be a game changer

1570
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:03,640
Speaker 1: or somebody who can help out Josh Allen in the

1571
01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:08,479
Speaker 1: passing game as well? Yeah? Absolutely, I think the passing game,

1572
01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:10,639
Speaker 1: would you have two tight ends on the field who

1573
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:14,720
Speaker 1: they going to decide they're gonna cover? And even his

1574
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:18,960
Speaker 1: ability with screen passes, I think that I think he's

1575
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:22,559
Speaker 1: gonna be a great, great asset. Awesome Chuck, thank you

1576
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:25,439
Speaker 1: so much for the call. Great insight, A great answer

1577
01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:28,240
Speaker 1: as well. Offensive line, you can never have too many

1578
01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:32,639
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, As we both know, the Bills are always

1579
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:35,760
Speaker 1: searching for offensive lineman, and especially with how we saw

1580
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:40,160
Speaker 1: last season go, they finally found some consistency there toward

1581
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:43,599
Speaker 1: the end of this season, but you're always searching for

1582
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:47,120
Speaker 1: more guys. Mitch Morrise had a great year last year.

1583
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:51,280
Speaker 1: Was him and Dion Dawkins were about the most consistent

1584
01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:52,960
Speaker 1: you could get in terms of guys who were in

1585
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:56,080
Speaker 1: the lineup week after week. Yeah, And you know what's

1586
01:16:56,080 --> 01:16:57,840
Speaker 1: funny is I think a year ago we sat here

1587
01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:01,000
Speaker 1: Maddie and I was definitely one who thought maybe one

1588
01:17:01,080 --> 01:17:02,880
Speaker 1: year left to Mitch Morris. They tweaked his contract a

1589
01:17:02,920 --> 01:17:05,320
Speaker 1: little bit. He was kind of going into the he

1590
01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:07,439
Speaker 1: I think he had the one year left and then

1591
01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:10,640
Speaker 1: basically they redid it. But either way, it's it seemed like,

1592
01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:12,960
Speaker 1: you know, he had taken like a bit of a

1593
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:14,600
Speaker 1: pay cut, and he even explained like it wasn't just

1594
01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:16,360
Speaker 1: straight like that. There were other things that went into it,

1595
01:17:16,479 --> 01:17:18,600
Speaker 1: but it felt like maybe they were setting up to

1596
01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:20,240
Speaker 1: move on from him, and here we are a year

1597
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:22,640
Speaker 1: later going that dude was the He was great, Like

1598
01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 1: he had a really good season. He was so consistent.

1599
01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:26,760
Speaker 1: As you said, he stayed healthy all year, which was

1600
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:29,240
Speaker 1: great for him obviously, But I think he means a

1601
01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:32,160
Speaker 1: lot to Josh Allen. You talk about helping Josh Allen

1602
01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:35,760
Speaker 1: keeping Mitch Morrison. The fold on the contract extension is

1603
01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:37,320
Speaker 1: a big move this team has made as well. That's

1604
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 1: a big deal for him. Yeah, the two are going

1605
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:41,640
Speaker 1: to go into their fourth season together. I want to

1606
01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:45,080
Speaker 1: say so Dion just came out at the end of

1607
01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:47,639
Speaker 1: the year incredibly as well. Gosh, yeah, he really did.

1608
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:50,080
Speaker 1: To see those two have a great season, I think

1609
01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:52,519
Speaker 1: is super important for this offensive line. I think Roger

1610
01:17:52,520 --> 01:17:56,599
Speaker 1: Staffold is going to add a veteran presence. He's very

1611
01:17:56,600 --> 01:17:59,439
Speaker 1: consistent as well, So hopefully the Bills can get what

1612
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:02,559
Speaker 1: they need out of him on that offensive line and

1613
01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:05,559
Speaker 1: hope for that position group that you know, you see

1614
01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:08,439
Speaker 1: the same five all season long. I feel like since

1615
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:11,320
Speaker 1: they kind of have drafted and added guys through free

1616
01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:14,519
Speaker 1: agencies starting in twenty nineteen, we really haven't seen a

1617
01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:18,280
Speaker 1: consistent five because of injuries and other things. So maybe

1618
01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:20,200
Speaker 1: this season we luck out and get it. We know

1619
01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:23,280
Speaker 1: offensive lineman it's hard to be healthy all season long

1620
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:24,840
Speaker 1: with what they're asked to do and what they have

1621
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:27,920
Speaker 1: to do every single day and every week on game day.

1622
01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:31,880
Speaker 1: We've got another caller who's been hanging online, Joe from Buffalo. Joe,

1623
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:34,640
Speaker 1: you're on with us. What player do you want to

1624
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:38,439
Speaker 1: talk about? Hil him in terms of the question of

1625
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:43,919
Speaker 1: the day, Duke Johnson terrific back some play at Miami,

1626
01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:48,679
Speaker 1: seen him in the pros. Fast, elusive, can run between

1627
01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 1: the tackles and terrific hands coming out of the backfield.

1628
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:55,719
Speaker 1: I think he's really going to help Josh out when

1629
01:18:55,920 --> 01:18:57,360
Speaker 1: you know when you need to go to a back.

1630
01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:00,200
Speaker 1: And I think it was a great pickup. I know

1631
01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:03,559
Speaker 1: they were disappointed not to get the back from Washington,

1632
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:06,800
Speaker 1: but Duke Johnson is as good as him, if not better,

1633
01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:09,240
Speaker 1: and I think I think it was a great pick

1634
01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:11,160
Speaker 1: up and I really do think it's going to help Josh.

1635
01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:14,719
Speaker 1: All Right, thanks for the call, Joe. Yeah. Duke Johnson.

1636
01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:17,559
Speaker 1: They needed to get somebody at that position, and I

1637
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:20,479
Speaker 1: think he can add in the running game as well

1638
01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:23,320
Speaker 1: as the passing game. He's had some good years in

1639
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:27,040
Speaker 1: the NFL. I mean he's been the NFL since twenty fifteen.

1640
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:31,160
Speaker 1: Recently spent time with the Miami Dolphins. He did only

1641
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:34,280
Speaker 1: play in five games with them. With the Miami Dolphins

1642
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:36,519
Speaker 1: or act up three hundred and thirty rushing yards, had

1643
01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:40,559
Speaker 1: three rushing touchdowns, only had forty one receiving yards off

1644
01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:43,559
Speaker 1: four catches. But he's going to be somebody who's going

1645
01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:46,240
Speaker 1: to be able to compete in the running backs room there.

1646
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:50,120
Speaker 1: I mean, we see different running backs where we saw

1647
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:53,479
Speaker 1: different running backs on this field quite a bit last season.

1648
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:55,759
Speaker 1: I mean, we saw a healthy dose of Zach Moss

1649
01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:58,640
Speaker 1: and Devin Singletary, and I think more guys in that

1650
01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:01,280
Speaker 1: room helps out the position group as a whole, It

1651
01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:04,320
Speaker 1: helps out Josh Allen as a whole. Um. I've said

1652
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:07,599
Speaker 1: this multiple times. I never think you're going to have

1653
01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:13,320
Speaker 1: a true crazy the running back is the focal point

1654
01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:15,680
Speaker 1: of your offense type of player, because that's not what

1655
01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:19,000
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills are. And I think Duke Johnson fits

1656
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:21,920
Speaker 1: into maybe what the Buffalo Bills need and it'll be

1657
01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:24,080
Speaker 1: fun to see him compete with the other with the

1658
01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:26,160
Speaker 1: other guys in that room, I agree, you know what,

1659
01:20:26,200 --> 01:20:28,680
Speaker 1: they were disappointed when they didn't get Jady McKissick. And

1660
01:20:28,720 --> 01:20:31,599
Speaker 1: then here comes Duke Johnson. And if you look, believe

1661
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:34,320
Speaker 1: it or not, Duke Johnson's a month younger than Jady McKissick. Right,

1662
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:37,120
Speaker 1: they're right, But but but the difference is, Yeah, the

1663
01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:40,240
Speaker 1: difference is that Jady McKissick has been, you know, more

1664
01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:42,080
Speaker 1: of a high performer or last couple of years, last

1665
01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:44,800
Speaker 1: for years, where Duke Johnson the majority of his really

1666
01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:46,280
Speaker 1: good work early in his career and he's had some

1667
01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:48,960
Speaker 1: injuries and things like that. But I will tell you

1668
01:20:49,040 --> 01:20:51,519
Speaker 1: I think I think Duke Johnson has a chance to

1669
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:54,600
Speaker 1: be kind of the poster child for you come to Buffalo,

1670
01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:57,840
Speaker 1: into their weight room, into their facility, their training staff,

1671
01:20:57,880 --> 01:21:01,360
Speaker 1: and their culture. I think that this I can absolutely

1672
01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:03,840
Speaker 1: have a resurgence and get back to what he was

1673
01:21:04,240 --> 01:21:06,519
Speaker 1: a few years ago when he was in Cleveland and

1674
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:08,519
Speaker 1: he was catching a lot of passes out of the backfield.

1675
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:10,479
Speaker 1: I mean, you think about it. This guy had his

1676
01:21:10,479 --> 01:21:13,160
Speaker 1: first three years in the league sixty one, fifty three

1677
01:21:13,160 --> 01:21:15,680
Speaker 1: and seventy four receptions, and even after that he was

1678
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:17,880
Speaker 1: in the forties. Basically, I think he can be that

1679
01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:20,280
Speaker 1: guy for them. Yes, they wanted a player like they

1680
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:22,599
Speaker 1: wanted they targeted J D. McKissick. We know that Brandon

1681
01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:24,160
Speaker 1: been was upset the way it all went down. He said,

1682
01:21:24,160 --> 01:21:27,400
Speaker 1: it's a player we targeted. But boy, a good consolation

1683
01:21:27,479 --> 01:21:30,479
Speaker 1: prize finger quotes if you're listened on radio, is a

1684
01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:32,640
Speaker 1: guy like Duke Johnson who's actually been more productive in

1685
01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:34,880
Speaker 1: his career, just hasn't done it the last couple of years.

1686
01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:36,760
Speaker 1: And I think that he can get into this facility

1687
01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:38,880
Speaker 1: and he can go back to what he was And

1688
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:41,639
Speaker 1: how important is it to have a type of player

1689
01:21:41,720 --> 01:21:44,120
Speaker 1: like that who can catch balls of the backfield, who

1690
01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:47,639
Speaker 1: can be that dump off target for Josh Allen. That's

1691
01:21:47,640 --> 01:21:50,320
Speaker 1: a lot of the times last season how we saw

1692
01:21:50,360 --> 01:21:54,080
Speaker 1: this offense get going against tougher defenses, it was Josh

1693
01:21:54,120 --> 01:21:57,280
Speaker 1: deciding to take what the defense gave him, which usually

1694
01:21:57,640 --> 01:22:00,400
Speaker 1: it was those short routes. It was handing the ball

1695
01:22:00,439 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 1: off to open up the offense to then hit guys

1696
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:07,120
Speaker 1: like Stefan Diggs and Dawson Knox when the defense adjusted

1697
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:09,559
Speaker 1: to Josh playing some of the short game. I think

1698
01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:12,559
Speaker 1: that is so important to how this offense operates. I

1699
01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:15,519
Speaker 1: think you need players like Duke Johnson, You need players

1700
01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:19,280
Speaker 1: like Isaaiah McKenzie, You need your slot receivers, you need

1701
01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:22,000
Speaker 1: your running backs in this offense to have it work

1702
01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:25,000
Speaker 1: how it needs to work, no doubt about it. And

1703
01:22:25,120 --> 01:22:27,200
Speaker 1: you could pick so many players about who's going to

1704
01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:30,000
Speaker 1: be like the most important for Josh is our question

1705
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:32,040
Speaker 1: of the day is There's no doubt about that. And

1706
01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:35,439
Speaker 1: I do think that it provided a window into what

1707
01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:37,559
Speaker 1: the Bills are thinking about their offense. When you think

1708
01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:40,000
Speaker 1: about they targeted me Kissic, they didn't get them, then

1709
01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:42,080
Speaker 1: they target Duke Johnson. They're looking for that guy, right man.

1710
01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:45,639
Speaker 1: I mean they're looking for that guy who look Devin Singletary.

1711
01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:47,080
Speaker 1: That's not as fourte he can do it. He can

1712
01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:48,519
Speaker 1: catch the bottle of the backfield. That's not what he's

1713
01:22:48,520 --> 01:22:50,080
Speaker 1: known for. It's not what they're gonna be asking him

1714
01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:51,760
Speaker 1: to do. I think we're gonna see quite a bit

1715
01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:53,320
Speaker 1: of Duke Johnson on the field. I think the way

1716
01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:55,200
Speaker 1: this is not going to be a Matt Breeda situation.

1717
01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:56,720
Speaker 1: I guess where I think a lot. Even going into

1718
01:22:56,720 --> 01:22:58,479
Speaker 1: the last year, I thought, oh, Matt Breeda a nice player,

1719
01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:01,640
Speaker 1: maybe being at least be right. I think they have

1720
01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:04,400
Speaker 1: a plan for Duke Johnson to play and to put

1721
01:23:04,479 --> 01:23:06,000
Speaker 1: him on the field and to be that guy who

1722
01:23:06,040 --> 01:23:08,000
Speaker 1: catches balls out of the backfield. Words to me, Matt

1723
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:10,599
Speaker 1: Brito is more of a hey, when we get a chance,

1724
01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:12,960
Speaker 1: we need some speed, we can game planet. It seems

1725
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:14,559
Speaker 1: to me like Duke Johnson's more of the guy that

1726
01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:17,080
Speaker 1: they actually feel he can have a legitimate role on

1727
01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:19,479
Speaker 1: this team. I like that. A sneaky name to watch

1728
01:23:19,520 --> 01:23:22,840
Speaker 1: out for this season is Duke Johnson. All Right, we've

1729
01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:25,240
Speaker 1: got one more caller on the phone line. Mark from

1730
01:23:25,240 --> 01:23:28,519
Speaker 1: West Seneca. You are on with us, Mark, what would

1731
01:23:28,560 --> 01:23:30,840
Speaker 1: you like to talk about today? Oh? Real quick? I

1732
01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:33,439
Speaker 1: got two thoughts. Yeah. The first one is a little

1733
01:23:33,439 --> 01:23:35,840
Speaker 1: bit out of the lock. Let's go. I think we

1734
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:40,679
Speaker 1: have an addition by subtraction for Josh Allen. The obviously

1735
01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:44,080
Speaker 1: the veteran guys they put in the game planning room

1736
01:23:44,240 --> 01:23:49,639
Speaker 1: is huge, but Brian Dable leaving, I believe gives Josh

1737
01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:54,479
Speaker 1: Allen the opportunity to grow on and off the field

1738
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:58,080
Speaker 1: in respect that he can really take control and take

1739
01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:01,080
Speaker 1: charge of what's going on around him, both in the

1740
01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:04,559
Speaker 1: game planning room and on the field. Not that he

1741
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:07,160
Speaker 1: couldn't put Dable here, but I think he looked at

1742
01:24:07,240 --> 01:24:09,840
Speaker 1: Dable Moore as a mentor and he's gonna listen and listen.

1743
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:12,799
Speaker 1: This is going to give him an opportunity to really

1744
01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:15,439
Speaker 1: spread his wings and really because because I think that's

1745
01:24:15,479 --> 01:24:18,080
Speaker 1: the last step Josh has to take. Not that he's

1746
01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:20,720
Speaker 1: not a good field general now, but I just want

1747
01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:25,600
Speaker 1: to see a confidence and a total control of everything

1748
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:30,479
Speaker 1: around Josh from Josh moving forward. And then the other

1749
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:33,400
Speaker 1: the other quick thought I had is about the draft.

1750
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:37,880
Speaker 1: I don't know why there isn't more urgency being put

1751
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:41,599
Speaker 1: on cornerback for us right now, because you guys can

1752
01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:46,439
Speaker 1: tell me beyond camp Cam Lewis and Dane Jackson, do

1753
01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:50,400
Speaker 1: they have a viable guy on the roster anywhere that

1754
01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:53,920
Speaker 1: could literally step on the field and play if they

1755
01:24:54,000 --> 01:25:00,479
Speaker 1: need an outside corner because I'm not confident that Davious

1756
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:04,000
Speaker 1: is going to be ready, and if he is, if

1757
01:25:04,320 --> 01:25:06,680
Speaker 1: it may be, it may be mid season to the

1758
01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:09,400
Speaker 1: end of the season, if he becomes truly Tredavious again

1759
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:13,200
Speaker 1: or at all, there's no guarantees. And you know, so

1760
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:16,439
Speaker 1: outside of that, you know, we've got a seventh round

1761
01:25:16,520 --> 01:25:20,479
Speaker 1: draft pick, and I believe Lewis was an unsigned or

1762
01:25:20,520 --> 01:25:25,360
Speaker 1: an undrafted free agent we signed. So I mean, to me,

1763
01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:29,639
Speaker 1: this draft is screaming cornerback, cornerback, cornerback right in number

1764
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:31,200
Speaker 1: one pick. So I just want to hear what you

1765
01:25:31,200 --> 01:25:33,519
Speaker 1: guys like to say about that. Thanks you for the call,

1766
01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:37,000
Speaker 1: Mark appreciate it. I'll go quick with the first part

1767
01:25:37,040 --> 01:25:40,479
Speaker 1: of that question slash comment. I think the offense will

1768
01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:43,759
Speaker 1: be interesting without Brian Dayball, but I do think Josh

1769
01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 1: Allen is forever thankful for what Brian Dayball did for

1770
01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:49,400
Speaker 1: his career. I think Josh Allen would not be the

1771
01:25:49,479 --> 01:25:52,200
Speaker 1: quarterback that he is today without Brian Dayball. And I

1772
01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:54,639
Speaker 1: think there was an open line of communication to where

1773
01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:57,559
Speaker 1: if Josh wanted to add something in the offense, he

1774
01:25:57,600 --> 01:25:59,880
Speaker 1: could go to Brian Dayball and be like, Yo, Dave,

1775
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:02,559
Speaker 1: I want to do X, Y Z or I feel

1776
01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:05,400
Speaker 1: comfortable here in this situation, and Brian Dable would listen.

1777
01:26:05,479 --> 01:26:07,360
Speaker 1: I think that's something that you don't get with an

1778
01:26:07,360 --> 01:26:10,920
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator always, and I think that's something that will

1779
01:26:10,960 --> 01:26:12,960
Speaker 1: be passed down to Ken Dorsey. And I think it's

1780
01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:15,320
Speaker 1: something we've already heard that Ken Dorsey does based on

1781
01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:18,519
Speaker 1: what Stephan dig said of talking about running these types

1782
01:26:18,560 --> 01:26:21,439
Speaker 1: of routes and what his opinion is on those routes

1783
01:26:21,720 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 1: or in whatever game they were talking about. So I

1784
01:26:25,479 --> 01:26:29,240
Speaker 1: think it'll be intriguing to watch how Josh Allen grows

1785
01:26:29,320 --> 01:26:32,200
Speaker 1: or watch how he changes without Brian Dable. But I

1786
01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:35,000
Speaker 1: think Brian Dable is forever going to be a guy

1787
01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:37,519
Speaker 1: who Josh Allen looks back to, especially in the beginning

1788
01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:40,240
Speaker 1: of his career, and is really happy that he had

1789
01:26:40,240 --> 01:26:42,960
Speaker 1: Brian Dable by his side. And I think lots of

1790
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:45,400
Speaker 1: Bill's fans share your concern on corner on second corner.

1791
01:26:45,439 --> 01:26:47,719
Speaker 1: But I will say this, I think the team feels

1792
01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:49,559
Speaker 1: a little differently about it than the fans do. By

1793
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:51,960
Speaker 1: the fact that Brandon being even said it's not like

1794
01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:54,160
Speaker 1: we're waking up every day saying we need a corner.

1795
01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:56,080
Speaker 1: I think they're going to let this sword out and

1796
01:26:56,120 --> 01:26:57,720
Speaker 1: they feel a little bit better about it. But I

1797
01:26:57,760 --> 01:27:01,040
Speaker 1: do agree that it is right there screaming at you

1798
01:27:01,080 --> 01:27:03,200
Speaker 1: as a possibility at number twenty five. Yeah, we'll see

1799
01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:05,680
Speaker 1: number twenty five. Who's going to be available for the

1800
01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:08,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Don't go anywhere. Break time for us when

1801
01:27:08,840 --> 01:27:11,519
Speaker 1: we come back. We're closing things out here at One

1802
01:27:11,560 --> 01:27:14,679
Speaker 1: Bills Live. We're presented by Kalida Health on Buffalo Bills Radio.

1803
01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:31,920
Speaker 1: Welcome back to One Bills Live. Mattie Glave alongside Sal Capaccio.

1804
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:34,400
Speaker 1: We've just got a couple minutes left. Took a bunch

1805
01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:36,680
Speaker 1: of phone calls in our last segment. Maybe we can

1806
01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:40,519
Speaker 1: take one from the tweet sheet before we sign off,

1807
01:27:40,560 --> 01:27:44,839
Speaker 1: So I'll read off from Jack, he said, resigning Digs

1808
01:27:44,840 --> 01:27:47,640
Speaker 1: to a new big contract and keeping him happy and

1809
01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:50,760
Speaker 1: linked to Alan for years to come. Also keeping the

1810
01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:54,320
Speaker 1: very underrated Isaiah McKenzie in the fold, adding Crowder in

1811
01:27:54,360 --> 01:27:57,800
Speaker 1: the slot and Oj Howard from multiple tight end formations.

1812
01:27:58,479 --> 01:28:01,439
Speaker 1: Diggs is an interesting point. I don't think you needed

1813
01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:04,880
Speaker 1: Diggs immediately, but I do think resigning him does help

1814
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:08,760
Speaker 1: Josh Allen for next season. I think it's also the

1815
01:28:09,080 --> 01:28:11,240
Speaker 1: thought of knowing he's with you, yeah for that long, right,

1816
01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:13,280
Speaker 1: It calms you down a little bit, like you don't

1817
01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:15,479
Speaker 1: have to worry about anything going sideways with that right,

1818
01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:17,439
Speaker 1: Diggs is here for a long time. I got my

1819
01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:20,120
Speaker 1: partner here and they're tied together through twenty twenty seven,

1820
01:28:20,600 --> 01:28:23,200
Speaker 1: which is awesome. So I think that is a very

1821
01:28:23,200 --> 01:28:25,320
Speaker 1: good answer for the big picture as well. Yeah, I

1822
01:28:25,360 --> 01:28:28,759
Speaker 1: really agree. I think Isaiah McKenzie also in that answer

1823
01:28:28,880 --> 01:28:31,080
Speaker 1: is a great part of the answer. I think he's

1824
01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:33,479
Speaker 1: going to add to this offense. I know he feels

1825
01:28:33,560 --> 01:28:37,160
Speaker 1: highly motivated to turn things up a notch as we

1826
01:28:37,280 --> 01:28:39,920
Speaker 1: head into this season. No more Cole Beasley. That's going

1827
01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:42,760
Speaker 1: to be an opportunity for Isaiah McKenzie to step up.

1828
01:28:42,920 --> 01:28:45,880
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder of course there as well. He's had a

1829
01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:48,599
Speaker 1: great career in the NFL. Two guys who will bring

1830
01:28:48,600 --> 01:28:51,560
Speaker 1: some competition to that spot. I think Josh Allen is

1831
01:28:51,800 --> 01:28:54,559
Speaker 1: set up really nicely for twenty twenty two, which is

1832
01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:57,400
Speaker 1: what Brandon Bean always wants to do. Put pieces around

1833
01:28:57,479 --> 01:29:00,640
Speaker 1: Josh Allen to make sure Josh succeeds. Doubt about it,

1834
01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:02,880
Speaker 1: and we know how important the communication is in the

1835
01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:05,599
Speaker 1: quarterback room. Sean McDermot has hammered it, he's talked about

1836
01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:07,719
Speaker 1: it a lot. Goes back to the caller, Mike Shula.

1837
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:10,639
Speaker 1: They had Joe Brady, people like that, Case Kanum, Matt Barkley,

1838
01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:14,479
Speaker 1: They're all important to this organization. Yeah, names for days.

1839
01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:16,400
Speaker 1: All right, that's gonna do it for us here on

1840
01:29:16,400 --> 01:29:19,160
Speaker 1: One Bills Live. We thank you for tuning in. We've

1841
01:29:19,160 --> 01:29:22,400
Speaker 1: got Bruce Feldman coming on at two o'clock tomorrow. We'll

1842
01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:24,040
Speaker 1: be back, see you guys later
