00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: I wake up every day there is a slight slight

9
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: space between the edge of my room darkening blinds and

10
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: the edge of my window frame. And of course it

11
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: is right there where it allows a glint of sunshine

12
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: to come through, shines directly in my eye right around

13
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: six am, And like you know, I can roll to

14
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: my left or right and avoid it. But you know

15
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: what doesn't bother me a bit because it's light out

16
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: at six am. It's glorious. I love it. Yeah, I

17
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: am a good friend of mine walk nine holes this

18
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: morning and can't beat it. You can't beat it, can't

19
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: beat it. It is absolutely an awesome get up and

20
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: it's warm and sunny. Yeah. A couple of days ago

21
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: we made fun of it. It was this dud. It

22
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: was so muggy, that was The dew point was seventy degrees,

23
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: which is which even I know is a dumb number

24
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: right so here, but it was spectacular out there this morning.

25
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: It was just absolutely fantastic, I am. And this is

26
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: a deserved trade off for what we deal with essentially

27
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: from late November to early April. You know, there are

28
00:01:55,160 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: times where, um, you know, you you go to work

29
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: and it's just getting light out and you leave work

30
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: and it's dark already and you're like, all right, what

31
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: the heck happened? Was there any daylight today? So to

32
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: get this on the complete other side of it is,

33
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, yeah, so much better. It's light until

34
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,839
Speaker 1: nine twenty or something like that and night and it's

35
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: just the best. Absolutely yeah. So all right, ready for

36
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: another weekend of sun and fun, fun and sunk, although

37
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: I've got still more yardwork to do here. This is

38
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: never ending. I don't know why this is, but it

39
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: takes me to almost the end of June just to

40
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: get the yard where you want it, and then five

41
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: weeks later we're going to training. Carer night. I mowed

42
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: my lawn last night. But you're right, it's and here's

43
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: comes the stretch of summer too, see if you can

44
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: relate to this. And so I live over in EA,

45
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: and you know we've got we've got a Borderland Festival September.

46
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: You've got music fest in June. You got you know,

47
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: thirty July, so they celebrate the fourth of July on

48
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: thirty July. Like, so they saw everybodyn go down. None

49
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: of those things existed last year either, by the way, right,

50
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: So they got all this, They've got all these outdoor

51
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: things that go on the farmer's market, all that stuff.

52
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of stuff to do and and

53
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: all of the sudden, you know, it gets crammed into

54
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: the summer because you can't do that stuff outside in

55
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: the winter. Then because of last year, everybody pushed their

56
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: wedding back a year. Oh right, so yeah, there's like

57
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: no weekends, Like my daughter's getting married this next you know,

58
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: in the fall or late in this late in the summer. No,

59
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: in the fall, I guess technically, yeah, technically, And so

60
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: I got that, and I plus all her friends and

61
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: all the other my son's friends, they're all getting married

62
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: because they all pushed it on, you know, the ones

63
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: they're pushing off. Oh, that's all happening. And then anything

64
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: else like the Billy Joel concert that was pushed off

65
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: the stadium is pushed off till August, you know. And

66
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: then plus the fact that you kind of want to

67
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: bust out as you've been cooped up. You got to

68
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: do a couple of extra things. There's not enough time

69
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: in the day or enough days in the summer to

70
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: get everything out that you missed last year, and then

71
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: want to also get in this year and pluss the

72
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: regular stuff that you always do. Good luck fitting all that.

73
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 1: It's it's it's it's a fun thing because good problem

74
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: to have. Yeah, the summer's here in Western New York. Man,

75
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: I told you we that weekend when everything blooms, you know,

76
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: when when it's gone and gone for good, and it's warm,

77
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna stay warm, even if it rains, it's gonna

78
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: be Oh. Then it's now it's a challenge to cram

79
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: it all. And it is one thousand miles per hour

80
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,880

00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,120

00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: just looks at the reporter and says, I'm the specialist.

103
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,080

00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: native Jake Dola Gala after getting a mini camp tryout

111
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: in Green Bay, which is down Aaron Rodgers right now,

112
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: they signed Dola Gala for some quarterback depth behind Jordan Love.

113
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,679
Speaker 1: So good on him. Ye Ja Jacinister. He's West Seneca native,

114
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: right he was. He bounced. Yeah, Jake can throw it.

115
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he can sling it. Um good QB. He's

116
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: got a long frame, you know, tayeah big tall, lanky guy,

117
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: but he can. He's a good quarterback. He is a

118
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: he is He is good enough to be on an

119
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: NFL roster, no question. And if and if he gets

120
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: enough time and enough reps, I'm excited to see him

121
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: get a chance. Yeah. I mean I don't think. I

122
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: don't know if it'll happen in you know, in Green Bay.

123
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: They got Jordan Love and you know all that stuff.

124
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: So he's down the roster and all that, and that's

125
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: kind of where he's at right now. And he's still

126
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: pretty young. But he's a guy I think could have

127
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: one of those careers. Maybe he maybe doesn't become a

128
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: household name. Maybe he doesn't, you know, go to four

129
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls or any Pro Bowls. Maybe he doesn't, you know,

130
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: he starts like one or two or five games in

131
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: his entire group, but the guys in the league for

132
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: a decade and it changes his life. And he's a

133
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: Western New York guy, Buffalo guy. I wish him all

134
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: the best and and uh, I've been kind of he's

135
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: one of those kids overlapp my boys. Yeah, so I

136
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: kind of keep track of all those guys, you know.

137
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: So that's cool. He's probably he's probably the only guy

138
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: in Green Bay who's happy with what Aaron Rodgers is

139
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: doing right now. Well it's probably him and this is

140
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: him and him an opportunity to him and Jordan Love.

141
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: So we'll see where that goes for him when Green

142
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: Bay gets to training camp and obviously the preseason um

143
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray Ladies and gentlemen, we remember when Kyler Murray

144
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: was in the pre draft processed a couple of years ago.

145
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: There was the whole big brew haha about whether or

146
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: not he would stay in football, knowing he was a

147
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: top ten draft choice of the Oakland A's in Major

148
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: League Baseball, and he said, no, no, I'm all in

149
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: on football. I'm all in. Well, he tells his own

150
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: team website, Arizona Cardinals dot com, that he does still

151
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: hold pride in being a three sport athlete. He recently

152
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: signed on for a game with a gaming group. He

153
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 1: considers that a sport. I guess I don't know, it's esports,

154
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: so I guess they consider it that stuff. But he

155
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: still harbors desires to play Major League baseball, does not

156
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: deny it, doesn't shy away from it. He knows that,

157
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, the Cardinals are not thrilled with it. As

158
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, it's written into his contract that

159
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: he can't play baseball. So it's kind of a moot

160
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: point right now while he's under contract, But it does

161
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: make you think a little bit that, you know, when

162
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: the rookie deal comes to an end, I mean this

163
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: is year three for him now, when the rookie deal

164
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 1: comes to an end. What happens like if the Cardinals

165
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: are still a horribly average team or don't make the playoffs,

166
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: and you know that, I'll put it to this way.

167
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: Steve Jeff Samarja, who was a wide receiver at Notre Dame,

168
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: was also a very good pitcher, decided no on the

169
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: NFL went to baseball. Believe he was drafted into the

170
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: Cubs organization, and I don't. I don't think he had

171
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: a tremendously successful major league baseball career, but man, he

172
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: he made a ton more money than he ever would

173
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: have in the NFL. We as a pitcher. Yeah, but

174
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: even the guys that the lowest rungs of a baseball roster,

175
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: it makes stupid bank like tons of money and there's

176
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: nobody they're all guaranteed. Yeah. Plus they're nobody's you know,

177
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: beating your brains out every play. Either I get it,

178
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: and I get it too. He likes, he loves playing

179
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: the game, and there's something to be said for that.

180
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: It's fun to play baseball, that kind of thing, right, Um, yeah,

181
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: he's not gonna do that, he said. I know everybody

182
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: around the organization probably feels differently. About it. You think

183
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: that's an understatement. But me personally, I played the whole game,

184
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: my whole I played the game my whole life. If

185
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: I ever had the opportunity, for sure, I would definitely

186
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: go for it. What are we talking about. I'm sure

187
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: anyone asking me about it would take that opportunity too.

188
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to start anything. I'm just talking. Yeah. Unfortunately,

189
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: when you talk like this, you you send shutters down

190
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: the spines of Cardinals fans. He had, he had the

191
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: opportunity to three years ago, and he passed on it.

192
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: I think he probably saw the writing on the wall though.

193
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: You know, they're gonna pick up They're gonna pick up

194
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: his option. I mean, there's no way they're not gonna

195
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: pick up his option. It's a twenty three million dollars guaranteed,

196
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: so that'll be more probably by the time right to

197
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: his fifth year. That's exactly right. So yeah, he'll be

198
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: his fifth year will be yeah, twenty twenty three when

199
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: the cat jumps. And now by that time you're twenty six,

200
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: twenty seven, it's hard to start a baseball career at

201
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: that point, even as talented as they say he is.

202
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: Speaking of football players, who have baseball backgrounds. Russell Wilson

203
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: in the news, basically insisting he never requested a trade

204
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: and is here in Seattle to win it all. I

205
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: ain't buying it. You want to know why, because three

206
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: short months ago, Steve he had his agent put out

207
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: four teams he would waive his no trained clause for Hello, yeah,

208
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: now you're telling me you never wanted to be traded.

209
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: Get the hell out of here, all right, It's like,

210
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 1: come on, who are you trying to kid? Well, he's

211
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: got to say that. I mean, know why, But that's

212
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: just it, and I he's starting to sound like, you know,

213
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: he's starting to sound like a congressman. I'll play for

214
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: the Bears, Cowboys, Raiders or Saints. Oh no, I didn't

215
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: ask to be traded. What you never said those words?

216
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: I'll wave my note trade clause these four teams. I

217
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: didn't ask for a trade, Like, come onter unlimited, give

218
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: me a break. Yeah that's good. Lord. Now he's got

219
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: to come back now since that didn't happen, it's not

220
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: going to um it's a damage control statements. Absolutely damage control.

221
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,599
Speaker 1: I didn't it was totally misconstrued. Wait how long is

222
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: it gonna be before somebody asked him about that interview

223
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: where he said he's tired of getting hit and all that,

224
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: and he says it was taken out of context. You

225
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: think that's his go to line. I mean, even if

226
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: he was just rattling the cage to get some attention

227
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: and say, hey, can you draft me some lineman please,

228
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: that know what the hell they're doing. Um, even if

229
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: that was the impetus here, you still don't have your

230
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: agent put out four teams. You'd be willing to waive

231
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 1: your no trade clause for that. I mean, cats out

232
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: of the bag if you're if you're playing a political

233
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: game to try to get more offensive lineman on your

234
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 1: team that know what they're doing so you're better protected.

235
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: You bounced the coordinator out of there. I mean, what

236
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: else do you want them to do? Yeah? Come on, man, Like,

237
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: it's one thing to kind of have conversations and reach

238
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: a measure of understanding because they don't want to move you.

239
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: You're not gonna move. They're not gonna move you that

240
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 1: you're too important to their success. What did Chicago off

241
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,599
Speaker 1: for three first round picks? And Khalil Mack is that

242
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: it was three ones and Khalil. That's that was the

243
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: the Scuttlebut I heard three ones and Khalil and I

244
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: think it was three ones and like a three or

245
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: three three three ones of three and Khalil Khalil, Yeah,

246
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: and they said no. So after they did that, I mean,

247
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: does that convince you they're community? And now come on, guy,

248
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: come on right, use the uh yeah, and irony of

249
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: all irony. So they trade him for three ones, three

250
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: in Khalil Magny draft three one three offensive linemen with

251
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: the three ones over the next three years, well justin

252
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: fields and then to two offensive alignment that would have

253
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: been you know, Ross, It's just, yeah, why your agent

254
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: put it out that you would say, would waive your

255
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: no trade clause for four teams, but you're saying you

256
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: didn't ask for a trade. What are you doing? I

257
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: just find it very got to yeah, he kind of wants,

258
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: he kind of likes that, you know. I find it

259
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: very interesting how from the player's side of these disputes,

260
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: they don't really have to tread lightly at all. They

261
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: can say and do whatever they want. Meanwhile, the organization

262
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: has got to be buttoned up to a team, and

263
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: god forbid, they say the wrong like, you can't say

264
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: the wrong thing at all, right, because the court of

265
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: public opinion dices up the team. It's making fun of

266
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: a group or an organization rather than an individual person,

267
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: and it's it's insulting for an it's for a m

268
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: it's insulting to say stuff about a person like that.

269
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: But if you say the exact same thing about an organization,

270
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: it's just that they can't they can't get it together. Yeah,

271
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: you know, it's not an indictment of an individual or anything.

272
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: It's just a mistake that was made because of their

273
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: process or whatever. You can. You put it off to that.

274
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: That's but you're right, you know these players, and I

275
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: think it's gonna get worse, Brownie, I say worse. I

276
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: don't know what worse would if you take it worse,

277
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: They're going to exercise their power. Well, I mean, we've

278
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: seen it, maybe more than we ever have before through

279
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: the course of this whole offseason, whether it's Carson Wentz

280
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: with the Eagles, you know, um, Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers,

281
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, Russell Wilson, run down the list. I mean,

282
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: if somebody is not one hundred percent happy with their situation,

283
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: or where the organization is headed that they feel will

284
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: impact their legacy of winning championships. They're going to crow

285
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: about it. And apparently the negative repercussions are very limited

286
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: for the player. And it's usually because it's a franchise quarterback,

287
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: which is the most identical face, identifiable face on any

288
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: NFL team, and if they've played well, the fan base

289
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: is like, woa, don't let this guy get out the door.

290
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: What are you doing? And so immediately the team or

291
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: the franchise is on the defensive. And I think these

292
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: franchise quarterbacks are coming around to understanding the leverage they

293
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: have in those situations because they're hard to find still.

294
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: I mean, we got a lot of quarterbacks and the

295
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: market has moved around a lot, and you would think

296
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: a little bit of that would would favor the team's

297
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: end of it. You know, a team like well, you

298
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: name it, like Carolina, they had Teddy Bridgewater they brought

299
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: in and then they got Sam Darnold. They get you know,

300
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna try these guys out. The only team that

301
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: seems to have had some problems finding one in Chicago.

302
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: They got Nick Foles. Now they got they had Mitch Trubisky,

303
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: top pick of the draft. It's hard to find a

304
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: guy who is the guy, even here in Buffalo. It

305
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: took Josh two years to get there, and where he

306
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 1: was at now he's an MVP. Can he ain't going anywhere?

307
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? But it took him, you know what,

308
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: seventeen twenty years to find the guy since their last

309
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: great quarterback. They're not out there a lot. Granted I've

310
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 1: told you, I've said this before. I think there are

311
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 1: more guys out there now because offensive change and they're

312
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: starting to get coaches in the league who will take

313
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: these college guys, let them do what they do best

314
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: and let them have success. So there's more guys out

315
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: there having like guys like Kyler Murray. They wouldn't even

316
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: have drafted him ten years ago. Same thing with Baker.

317
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: Baker would have been an iffy thing, the aberration. There's

318
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, who is like a six foot guy who

319
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: came out and had a great, great career. But these

320
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: guys are hard to find. And yet even in the

321
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: league now where quarterbacks are switching places like musical chairs,

322
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: he still can't find guy. It's just it's a very

323
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: interesting dynamic seeing quarterbacks basically say and or do whatever

324
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 1: they think might help their leveraged position. And you've got

325
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: NFL clubs tiptoe and all over the place. It's just

326
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 1: it's an interesting dynamic. It's well, think about it though,

327
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: how honky Dory does everything seem in Bill's locker room

328
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: right now? They got all these everything. Everybody loves Josh,

329
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: Joscelyn Freddy, you know, the defense loves, he's got the secondary,

330
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: all those guys, guys up front, you know. You know,

331
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: even with even with John Feliciano and aj Epeneza mixing

332
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: up that you know, they have have dinner that night

333
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: and they won't talk about it as much as we

334
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 1: did right about a fight that they had. Now. I mean,

335
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: it could not be a more idyllic environment and a

336
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: healthy locker room that it is here in Buffalo football.

337
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: And the clubs know it. That doesn't happen by accident. Yeah.

338
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: And if the club goes out there and starts hanging

339
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: out a franchise quarterback, no matter what it is, no

340
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,120
Speaker 1: matter what he said, if they hang him out to dry,

341
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: everybody else knows there. Do they do that in a

342
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: heartbeat to me? Yeah, But that's the thing. Like, I

343
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: think the only situation where you can make an argument

344
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: for the quarterback making the demands that he did would

345
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: probably be Houston and DeShawn Watson, with how south everything

346
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: went down there and how much they went and did

347
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: things behind his back, even after they had conversations and

348
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: promised him that they would include him and keep him

349
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: in the know and seek his opinion and input on

350
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: certain things, and then the next three major decisions they made,

351
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: he didn't even get wind of it. He's getting it

352
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: on information on his phone via some sports app tickers. Right,

353
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: he felt he was. That's that's left feeling left out

354
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: in the cold. That's the big no no for organizations.

355
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: If you got a player, a prominent player, any player,

356
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 1: but obviously this guy, yeah, if you if he feels

357
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: like he can he'd been lied to, like out and

358
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: out lied to. Yeah, there is no repairing that. There

359
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: is no reparations to be made. And I can see

360
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: the circumstances in Houston contributing to Deshaun Watson's decision that Hey,

361
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: I am out of here. I am never playing for

362
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: you again. Don't even ask me to put that helmet

363
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: on or stand next to it. I'm not going to

364
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: pretend to know all the ins and outs of the

365
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,959
Speaker 1: Green Bass situation. Clearly it involves Aaron and the front office.

366
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: He said he loves his coaches, he said he loves

367
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: his teammates, he said he loves the fans. So clearly

368
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: that narrows it down to the front office and management.

369
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 1: So am I going to pretend to know anything that's

370
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: gone on between those two parties. No, So it's hard

371
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: for us to make a judgment as to whether Aaron

372
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: Rodgers stands is justified at all. But man, this thing

373
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson, it just doesn't fly for me. To me,

374
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 1: that's it just doesn't fly for me. And the Carson

375
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: Wentz falling out, we don't know the circumstances that led

376
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: to that. The bottom line is the quarterback's gone, and

377
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: so is the head coach and his staff. So they're

378
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 1: starting with a clean slate there with Nick, Siriynnie and

379
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts and okay, fine, if you felt you had

380
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: to turn the page, turn the page, whatever you gotta do.

381
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: Speaking of quarterbacks, head coach Ron Rivera in Washington has

382
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: declared it an open competition for the starting quarterback job.

383
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: He says, Ryan Fitzpatrick enters camp as the starter, but

384
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: nothing beyond that is guaranteed. So that means somebody like

385
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen or Taylor Heineke who had a nice playoff

386
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: performance last season even though Washington lost, they're in the mix.

387
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: They're in the mix. So that's where that's at. Kyle

388
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: Allen still has to recover from a broken ankle last

389
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: suffered last season, so you know, we'll have to see

390
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: where that goes. I think Stephen Montes is another quarterback

391
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: on the roster. He's like the number four. But yeah,

392
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 1: open quarterback competition there. And I'm just gonna say, based

393
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: on experience, I am glad that's not us because we've

394
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: and through way too many of those over the years.

395
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it was funny. I was flipping back through

396
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: some some old bills to digest issues back when I

397
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: was editing that paper, and I can't tell you. I

398
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: would say in the span of like seven training camp

399
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 1: preview issues, I had three cover cover pages in which

400
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 1: there were three quarterbacks on the front, like who's it

401
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: gonna be? Battle of three? Like how many different headlines

402
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: can you come up with? You can't find those guys.

403
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: You can't find those guys. I'm it's it's hilarious to

404
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: think back on it. And because it's it is an abyss,

405
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: because there is no light, there's no everybody knows everybody.

406
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: You know every quarterback, who he is, what he is,

407
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: you know every name, and ninety nine percent of him

408
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: are out of each unobtainable and you and there and

409
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: the rest of what's available are. I hope he can

410
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: get us through this game this I hope he survives. Yeah,

411
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: I hope he can call to play. Yeah. That is

412
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: the darkest of dark places for football team. We as

413
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: you know, it's Friday, and we know what that means.

414
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: It's the obl Fan Friday mail Bag, So send in

415
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: your most pressing questions about the bills, the NFL training camp,

416
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: whatever it is. Steve and I are here to answer

417
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: any and all of your bills and NFL questions. Coming

418
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: up on the show in a little bit, probably about

419
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: ten minutes time, is the latest edition of Tasker's Teammate,

420
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: where I give Steve a series of very cryptic clues

421
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 1: describing one of his former teammates, and Steve sees if

422
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: he can guess who I am giving him clues about

423
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: did pretty well last week. I think he got him

424
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: on the second or third clue and he was three

425
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: last week. Yeah, three clues. You nailed it down. So

426
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 1: that was quality last week. Al Edwards last week. Edwards

427
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: last week. So that was good. So we've got Taskers

428
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 1: Teammate coming your way in about eight minutes time, and

429
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: then at one o'clock we're going to catch up with

430
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: Nick Hicks. He's the co owner and director of performance

431
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: at Perform, which was the outfit that Devin Singletary chose

432
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: to help him get ready for his all important third

433
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,719
Speaker 1: NFL season. He worked with Nick on speed training. He

434
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: had never done speed specific training to improve his stride

435
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: and how to drive off of the balls of his

436
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 1: feet to properly gain as much speed as possible. I

437
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: think we've always known motor to be a very elusive

438
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: running back, but straight line speed was something that he

439
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: wanted to add to his skill set. And so we'll

440
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: be talking to Nick Hicks in the second hour of

441
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: the program about how Devin did this offseason. He also

442
00:24:54,720 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: worked with Zach Moss, Rashad wild Goose, Isaiah McKenzie, and

443
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: Matt Brito. So there's a handful of Bills players that

444
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: Nick has worked with, so we'll talk to him about

445
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: those guys. Yeah, did you say Rashad wild Goose, Yes, well, yeah,

446
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook, JK. Dobbins, Breshad Perriman. Yeah, he's got an

447
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: impressive NFL roller, John who Smith, Jerry Judy, and tush

448
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: Jet McKinnon, as well as one of the other guys

449
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: from forty nine. So yeah, there's he works with a

450
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: He's one of those guys that is known by the players.

451
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: So look at notice two, they're all skill players. Yeah,

452
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: so looking forward to that conversation when we meet up

453
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: with him, probably about forty minutes from now, but other

454
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: than that, it's wide open for you at eight oh three,

455
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,080

466
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: one eighty eight five fifty two five fifty Steve, what

467
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 1: are you anticipating with respect to mandatory Mini camp. We

468
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 1: know it steps up a half a notch in terms

469
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 1: of intensity, it's still not padded football, and I think

470
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 1: we would anticipate some of the guys that have not

471
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: been here yet will be for mandatory camp, namely Jerry

472
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: Hughes Star Latula, which incidentally, did you see the latest

473
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: Star video workout video? He looks good, Steve, I gotta

474
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 1: tell you he looks trim. He does look trim. I

475
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: know he's not though, I mean he probably it looks trim,

476
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: but the guy's gotta be big. I mean, well it

477
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: has to be. That's kind of part of his job description,

478
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: isn't it. But yeah, his trainer just sent out the

479
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: latest video of some of the work he's doing. And

480
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 1: I gotta say, Star's feet are moving here. I got

481
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 1: he's look at this behind the hands, behind the back.

482
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: Our MSG viewers are watching him go in and out

483
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: of cans. He's wearing baggy clothes too, so that always

484
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: gives you thing. And I've also known this too. I've

485
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: you know, back in the day two years ago, you

486
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: stood next to him and you read the program and

487
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: says he was like what three something three twenty or

488
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: something like that. Whatever. He does not look that big

489
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: when he doesn't right there. I mean I think he is,

490
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 1: you know, he's just so. I mean he smokes like

491
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: he's three bills right now. Three because he's a massive guy.

492
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: He's got a thick trunk, thick arms, thick legs, like

493
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: he's just thick all the way through. Yeah. So, but yeah,

494
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: I mean he looks trim around the middle here. Yeah,

495
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: good on him for working like that. He's probably you know,

496
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: think how good he feels after taking a year. If

497
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: I'm not getting oh my god, his knees is joint,

498
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: everything feels fantastic. Now that might not be the case.

499
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: Come we five, right, right, we two for that man.

500
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm at yeah, I'm sure he'll be he'll

501
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: be in and they'll and here's the thing too, people say,

502
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: well he's not here. I would be surprised if the

503
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: bills haven't kept very close tabs on him just picking

504
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,199
Speaker 1: up the phone, call and texting him saying how you

505
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: do and what can you do? Also, the particularly the

506
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: strength conditioning coaches, you know, the guys in the sports

507
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: science into the building will be in touch, say here,

508
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 1: here's what you're doing. Okay, what's your you know, what's

509
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: your BMI? What's going on? Like have you have you

510
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: had a chance to check your BMI? What's your bench?

511
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: How are your workouts going? Here's what we think you

512
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: should do. That kind of thing. So it's not like

513
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: he's disappeared for eighteen months and now it's the first

514
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: time they're gonna lay eyes on him. Yeah, well it

515
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: might be the first time they lay us. I'm in

516
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: a person, they've spoken to him at at length. I

517
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: would think him multiple times, give him a program, tell

518
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: him here's what you're at, you know I kind of thing.

519
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: So it's not like he's gonna parachute in after a

520
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: two year hiatus and nobody had spoken to him or

521
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: had any contact with him for then. So since then,

522
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: so I'm yeah, I'm I'm kind of ready for that day.

523
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: I want lay eyes on all these guys. Yeah, it

524
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: should be cool. Next week as we get one step

525
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: closer to real football, we're gonna take a break here,

Speaker 1: not I kid. You not, Steve. So clearly this conversation

543
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: did not take place in the locker room at any

544
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: point in time. Wow that's off my radar. I didn't know. Yeah,

545
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: because it gets better with the next clue. There's only

546
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: a handful of that's right. I was worried we're gonna

547
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: nail it right out of the gates. Nolan Cromwell was

548
00:30:51,120 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: a Kansas kid. Lawrence Huh yep, jeff Right, you got it,

550
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: You didn't know that? Did not know that? I that

551
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: was a total. That was a Now what made you guess,

552
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: Jeff Right? Something in the recesses of my mind. I

553
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: don't know. Okay, well, I'll take it a step first.

554
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: He also went to Juco route like you did. He

555
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: went to Coffeeville. Oh yeah, see there you go, h

556

00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: Do you know coffee There is a Coffeeville Okay, before

558
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: moving on to Central Missouri State. That's where he played

559
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: the last two years of his college ball. I'll tell

560
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: you about Coffeeville Community College. Yes, tell me, because I

561
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: know nothing. And I played at Dodge City Community I

562
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: know those are popular Juco recruiting stations. So we go

563
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: out and we played coffee Coffeeville was a perennial powerhouse,

564
00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: and we played in a backfield. They had a They

565
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: ran a wishbone backfield. The two tailbacks in the wishbone

566
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: one was Microzier two years before he won the Heisman Trophy,

567
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: and the other was Mel Gray, who was one of

568
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: the great kick returners of all time in the NFL.

569
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: Both that was their two tailbacks. Good lord, Yeah, that's

570
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: a good crew. They ran it up on us eighth

571
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: round draft choice of the Bills in nineteen eighty eight,

572
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: became a starter in his third season, held on to

573
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: it for the next five years. Most productive year for

574
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: Jeff Wright nineteen ninety three. Seventy nine tackles, seventy nine

575
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: tackles as a DT is pretty good, three forced fumbles

576
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: in a fumble recovery. He is also one of twenty

577
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: two players to appear in all four Super Bowls. He

578
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: retired after the nineteen ninety four season, following seven years

579
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: with the club. Now as far as post career. After retirement,

580
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: he opened a restaurant in Dallas called Bellaggio's Pizza and Bar,

581
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: but then quickly traded it in Steve for a cowboy hat.

582
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: He now works on his wife's family cattle ranch in Tucson, Arizona. Tucson,

583
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: very underrated city. I like it. I think John Feena

584
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: lives there. He's wrangling cattle. Steve. Yeah, that's that's kind

585
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: of a good I'll tell you what. It's good work

586
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: if you can get it. But yeah, I don't know

587
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: if it's not very lucrative. But unless you owned the cattle.

588
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: Well yeah, and you know his wife's family owns the farm.

589
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: So we're in good shape over there. So yeah, last

590
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: we checked. He's the guy that tackled unassisted Otis Anderson

591
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: in Super Bowl twenty five that forced the last field

592
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: goal for the Giants to go up by one to

593
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: give us a chance to come back and win it

594
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: with Scott's fielgl That was obviously Yeah, yeah, that was

595
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: a great move by Jeff. He ran. I don't know

596
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: if he ran around the block of Jim Burt or

597
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: ran in front of it, I don't know, but he

598
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: knifed through and got him for five yard loss and

599
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: forced the forced Because he had a thousand other plays,

600
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: he was only listed at like two seventy nine. He

601
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: was a little heavier than that, but yeah, he was

602
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: He was a kind of an at Oliver type playing.

603
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: But and then that three to four, you know, he

604
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,760
Speaker 1: came into the league and Fred Smerlas was ahead of him. Yeah,

605
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: and Fred was a quintessential nose guard. He was a

606
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: double dude, double team sponge and you know, didn't make

607
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: very many tackles and got like zero, like a half

608
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: a sack of season right when the quarterback stepped into

609
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: him when he didn't see him. Jeff was a little

610
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: bit more athletic than Fred was, but he wasn't a

611
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: strong upfront in the run game. He liked to run

612
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: around blocks and try knife in and make plays like that.

613
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: So different style player. San Bernardino to Lawrence. I wish

614
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: we could have got him on because I'd like to

615
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: know the story behind that family movie. Yeah, that's you're

616
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: trading in. I mean, nothing against Lawrence, but San Bernardino anything, bro.

617
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we'd all picked San Bernardino. My

618
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 1: wife graduated from KU Kansas Uni University Kansas, and back well,

619
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: Jeff was born a year after me, so it was

620
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 1: a year younger than me. Um and so they were there. Yeah,

621
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: that was around when we were coming through college. It

622
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: was like Danny Manning and you know, guys win in

623
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: the national Brown was the head coach. Brown was a

624
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: head coach. Yeah, yeah, that was good. It's a the state,

625
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: it's a it's a different kind of state than New

626
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: York State where I'm living, that where we've been living

627
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: for thirty years, when I grew up in and it's

628
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: still it's hard not to have mutual friends. There's only

629
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: funny because we always talk about how there's two degrees

630
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 1: of separation in Buffalo. Like people talk about six degrees

631
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: of separation in Buffalo. It seems like it's two degrees

632
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: of separation. It's two degrees in the state. So but

633
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: you're yeah, you're not talking about a you know, Erie

634
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: County or Yeah. The largest largest city in the state

635
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: is Wichita, and it is two hundred and it's the

636
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: size of Buffalo. But no suburbs. Yeah, there's no suburbs,

637
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty thousand. But you're saying the whole

638
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: state is two degrees of separation, the whole state. You

639
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: get out, you get out west the western two thirds

640
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 1: of Kansas. Yeah, and it is all the same. It's

641
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: all the same small farming communities and you know, you

642
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 1: know Pete, they know people out there. You just can't

643
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: go anywhere without knowing somebody. It's it's not it's not

644
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: a big cattle state, though, is it. It's a huge

645
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 1: wheat state. Wheat state, wheat state. Because I was gonna say,

646
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: I wonder if there's more people, but that's probably it's

647
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: the wheat state. Yeah, yeah, and that's uh yeah, yeah,

648
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: I've got yeah, we've we've got a farm. My family,

649
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: my wife's family farm is out there. They still is

650
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 1: still up and running, and it's a fair to midland

651
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: size farm out there, and it's like fifty five hundred

652
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: and six thousand acres. Well you look at the Wichita

653
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: State mascot. I mean they're called the Shockers wheat Shockers.

654
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: Oh is that what it's the full name is the

655
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: wheat Shockers. Well, they call him the Shockers, but it's

656
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: called he's got the Scot's like a scarecrow, almost a

657
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: bundle of wheat. Yeah, because he's got the wind tops coming,

658
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: the wheat tops. Yeah, and he's you know, he's got Yeah.

659
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: That's one of my favorite college nicknames, the Shockers. Like

660
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: that is just so perfect for a play by play announcer. Yeah. Back,

661
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: oh my god, back before automation, the shockers, they cut

662
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: it with a hand scythe yeah, and stand it up.

663
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: Ye now they yeah, they don't do that anymore. Yeah.

664
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: I couldn't figure out if he was a scarecrow or

665
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 1: a wheat stand. But it looks like a stand of

666
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: bundle of wheat. Yeah, so it stand it up to dry.

667
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: See that. Look at the stuff you learn on this program.

668
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: I tell you you don't get this anywhere. This is

669
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: quality programming here. I gotta tell you. Dodge City Community College,

670
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: where I went to school, is the year I was there,

671
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: one of the two years around there, it was the

672
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 1: windiest city in America. I don't know if that's stant

673
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a title you want. Constant.

674
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: It was like a constant fifteen mile prior wind. Just

675
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: now that's kind of here in the winter, there's the

676
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: only trees that live out there are the ones that

677
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: have been planted by human beings, so they don't grow

678
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: there naturally. Yeah, and so it's wide open because you

679
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: don't have a fighting chance if you're a saplings. It's

680
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: technically a desert, but is it really Yeah, technically it is.

681
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: Prairie grass grows out there, but that's about it. Man,

682
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,240
Speaker 1: Look at this. It's hot and dry, hot and dry, Okay,

683
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: like West Texas except North Okay, I don't I really

684
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,919
Speaker 1: don't know anything about West Texas. But I know it's dry. Yeah,

685
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: I know it's dry out there. It's humid in the East,

686
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: dry in the West. You come out of you come

687
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: outside in Kansas, and you know how you get it here?

688
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: You walk outside in the cool breeze hit you. In Kansas.

689
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 1: The breeze is hotter than the still air. It's like standing.

690
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: It's like opening your oven at home. That's the breeze.

691
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: Really yeah, it's a it's a it's a cooker out there. Okay,

692
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: But all right, Jeff Jeff Right. I can't believe Sandburn.

693
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 1: I didn't. The San Bernardino thing got me. I didn't

694
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: know he was born in San Bernardino when he and

695
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: I have no idea why his name came to me.

696
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 1: It's born as it's a supernatural occurrence. I had no

697
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: idea he was in Lawrence, Kansas. Um. We already speaking

698
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: of defensive tackles, we already have responses coming from some

699
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: of our listeners with respect to the Star Latoula a

700
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: video Tony is concerned. He says, love the quickness, but

701
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: can't help but be a little worried about the current

702
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: playing weight. Chris, what about this, Let's see what he

703
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: comes in and weighs at. Let's see what he weighs

704
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: in at, and then, which we may find out is

705
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: as soon as this coming week because it is mandatory minicamp.

706
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: So the assumption is that Starr will be here. There's

707
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 1: no reason to think he's he's gonna hold out or anything,

708
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: and his trainer has been pumping out videos lately to

709
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 1: show that he is working. So yeah, I mean if

710
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: he comes in and he's in even three hundred, yeah,

711
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: I might, I might be a little concerned. Oh No,

712
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: I'm not concerned. He'll come in at the weight they

713
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: want him at, and if it's three hundred, I'm sure

714
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: that's the way they're gonna want him to play at.

715
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: He's got too much experience and knows what he's doing.

716
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: He's he's too much of a veteran to come in

717
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: there and not be ready. I'm just I'm I'm I

718
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: want to look up really quick to see what he

719
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 1: was last year. Three fifteen was where he weighed in

720
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 1: in his last season with the Bills in twenty nineteen,

721
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 1: So fifteen pounds lighter. I mean, what if he's an

722
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: even three bills, no worries be okay, it depends on well,

723
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll have to see when he gets

724
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: on the field. I mean, I can't you know, fifteen

725
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: pounds on a three hundred pound guy, it's a five

726
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: percent weight drop. Yeah, you know, I don't know that

727
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: you and I sitting here looking at him or watching

728
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 1: him play, will even be able to tell he's a

729
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 1: different you know, he's a different guy. You have to

730
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: talk to the guys who were blocking him and watch

731
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 1: him on film see if he's playing good. And we're

732
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 1: not going to get a chance to do that ever,

733
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:46,879
Speaker 1: So meanwhile happens. Meanwhile Jay Forrest says, wow, Starr looks

734
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 1: smaller but just as powerful. Now, I will say that

735
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: his explosion looks real good here, I don't think. I mean,

736
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,359
Speaker 1: he's light on his feet. That's one of the things

737
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 1: that surprises a lot of people when they if you

738
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: get a chance to go down on the eye lines,

739
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: or if you get a chance to go to a

740
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: training camp and stand close to these guys, the thing

741
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: that almost universally is surprising to most people as a

742
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,240
Speaker 1: guy like Star lotuleleas three hundred and fifteen pounds and

743
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: they watch him move around or get knocked down, roll over,

744
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: tuck and roll and hop right back up on their

745
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,800
Speaker 1: feet and keep running. To see a guy that size

746
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: be that athletic, I think is shocking to a lot

747
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: of you know, guys like you and me, regular folks

748
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,919
Speaker 1: you know who are who are not sixty three three

749
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: hundred pounds. You see a guy like Greg Russeau, you know,

750
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: get knocked off his feet at that size, roll over,

751
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: stand right, but you know, hop right back up and

752
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: keep running, or jump over traffic to make a tackle.

753
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 1: The athletic stuff they got these guys do is that's

754
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: what sets them apart. That's even in this league. You see,

755
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: I need this left tack and you think a big,

756
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: huge left tackle, Well he's such a good athlete. That's

757
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: one thing they tell you about. And they're not exaggerating.

758
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: You know. You get these guys like Spencer Brown and

759
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: you know Deon Dokins, they'll wow you with their athletic

760
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: ability and their ability to jump and explode and turn

761
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: Swiss and so you see starlot l going through these

762
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: offseason workouts. That's when you get in there. You can

763
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: see him on a TV screen or you're screening your phone,

764
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, cool. But when you stand next to him,

765
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 1: you realize how big that guy is. That's when the

766
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,240
Speaker 1: think differently. That's when the NFL seems a light years away.

767
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 1: You know, like you'd all like to play, but until

768
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 1: you get up there, it's like, now I ain't. I

769
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: ain't gonna do that. We have to take a break.

791
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:50,760
Speaker 1: you have for us? You're on one Bills Live, Greg,

792
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: I get there, Slow Day. I've been waiting for Slow

793
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: Day to call in with this. I got a couple

794
00:43:57,040 --> 00:44:00,760
Speaker 1: of questions, mainly for Steve. One thing I was watching

795
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 1: during the regular season last year was a couple of

796
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 1: fake punts, and it occurred to me Um that when

797
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 1: it's a passing play, you're not allowed to have contact

798
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: with the receiver more than five yards down the field.

799
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: But of course not a punt, You're you're nailing the

800
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: guy all the way down the field. How does that

801
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:21,919
Speaker 1: work when it's a punt and they throw a pass

802
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: that those rules like that are suspended when you're in

803
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,399
Speaker 1: an obvious punt formation, when you got a guy back

804
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: to receive to field the punt a snap, and when

805
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 1: you have two guys wide when you're in a punt formation,

806
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: those rules are relaxed because what would what you would

807
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: do is you just take off, you snap the ball

808
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: to the punter. He'd take a couple of steps and

809
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 1: then instead of punting it, just throw it down the

810
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: field in the direction of your gunner and he's in

811
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: a hand fight with the you know, with the defender,

812
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 1: and it's automatic penalty every time. So in order to

813
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 1: give the return game a chance to be successful when

814
00:44:55,320 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: they're in an obvious punt formation, those rules are dropped. Okay.

815
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 1: Any other question I had was, I know you were

816
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: on a committee a couple of years ago to review kickoffs,

817
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: hopefully to reduce injuries and concussions. It's been a couple

818
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 1: of years now, do you did they let you in

819
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: on information as to whether this is you know, working,

820
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: is it reaching the goals they wanted it to reach

821
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: And uh so that's what I was wanting about as well. Yeah,

822
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 1: it is um significantly less injuries kicking off. Of course

823
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: there's a ton more touchbacks than there were before the

824
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: rule changes. But the fact that the kickoff team has

825
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 1: to have a standing start and the receiving team has

826
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 1: to start from up close to where the kicking team is.

827
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: They got eight guys lined up within ten or fifteen

828
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 1: yards of the ball when it's kicked. The fact that

829
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: all those guys have to run in the same direction

830
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: has really cut down on the amount of contact at

831
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: the point of where the returner hits. The hits the

832
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 1: mesh point of the coverage team and the return team.

833
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: So yes, it has. I don't know the numbers. I

834
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: know they've they've got all those statistics at the league

835
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: office and they share those with the union, and and

836
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 1: I know they did right after the first year they

837
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 1: shared it. I don't think anybody's interested anymore because it

838
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:16,319
Speaker 1: you know, it was working all right. Greg's gonney hung up,

839
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 1: But it sounds like you got the answers he was

840
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 1: looking for. So there is it there it is. Another

841
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: special teams questioned Steve, this one from the obl fan

842
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 1: Friday mail bag with Corey Bojorke is no longer with

843
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: the Bills. Who's the holder now? For Tyler Bass on

844
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: extra points and field goals. Could it make a difference

845
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: in Tyler's performance? The assumption here is it's Matt Hak,

846
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: the new punter, who has done holding in his career,

847
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: so that would only make sense. And they've been here,

848
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 1: so they're working on the operation. If it was a

849
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 1: situation where the guy came in Layton camp and maybe

850
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: only got you know, a preseason game with Tyler and

851
00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: you know read Ferguson while yeah, then there's enough run

852
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 1: up time here to have the operation humming along. He's

853
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: done it before, and if he's done it before, he's

854
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 1: probably done it with more than one snapper, more than

855
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: one kid, and he's done it with Reid's brother. Right,

856
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,959
Speaker 1: that's a good point. That's a good point. So there's

857
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: a lot of that. Um yeah, you know, it's never

858
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 1: a good thing to switch kicker, switch holders up, you

859
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: know a lot. But if you can do it during

860
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,359
Speaker 1: the preseason, get the same guy doing it, it should

861
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: it should not be an issue. And Matt Hawk is

862
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:29,760
Speaker 1: the guy that's probably going to be doing it, although

863
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 1: he used to be. When they first started doing it,

864
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: they had always had the backup quarterback do it because

865
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 1: he had the arm to throw it if it was

866
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 1: a muffed snap or something like that. Now, because the

867
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: kickers and punters have so much more free time and

868
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 1: there's a little bit more on the plate of the

869
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 1: backup quarterback than there's ever been, they leave that to

870
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 1: those guys to be able to work on it during

871
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,399
Speaker 1: the practice while the backup quarterback can do his own thing.

872
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: So but I know this too. There are some teams

873
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: that absolutely say who wants to do it and who's

874
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: best at it, and they'll run four or five guys

875
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: through there who they think is gonna have a chance

876
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:07,879
Speaker 1: to make the roster, and they'll let them all try

877
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: and the and the actually the kicker picks who holds

878
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:14,839
Speaker 1: the ball. When I was a rookie, Tony's in day

879
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: House picked me to hold for him. It worked out

880
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 1: the absolute first time I ever got on the field.

881
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: I think it was the absolute first time I ever

882
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: got on the field as a pro athlete. I was

883
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 1: holding for tonyas in day House when on opening Day

884
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 1: we scored a touchdown. First, I don't think I was

885
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 1: on the field for the kick return. Maybe I was

886
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: on the field for the kickoff return, but maybe the

887
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 1: second time I was ever on the field as a

888
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: special teams player. I was holding for Tony's in dayhouse

889
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 1: and the kick got blocked right into my face. Oh boy,

890
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 1: it was It wasn't good. That was your first NFL play.

891
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 1: I think it was my second auspicious. Oh my god,

892
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: I think it was. I might have been. I was probably, yeah.

893
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,240
Speaker 1: I don't think I was on kickoff team at that time,

894
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 1: and I don't know that we got the opening kickoff

895
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: was opening day nineteen eighty five Miami Dolphins in the

896
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 1: Houston Astrodome. Marino's second year at right pre held out

897
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 1: all through training camp after going to the Super Bowl.

898
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:25,479
Speaker 1: We played him opening Day. We beat him, But it's

899
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:28,279
Speaker 1: like the law and order. Tony asked me, he goes,

900
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 1: you're nervous right before we get out. Hey, no it

901
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:32,799
Speaker 1: was me. It was or the special teams guy out,

902
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:41,280
Speaker 1: Al Roberts. He goes, you guys nervous, And I go, yeah,

903
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:45,359
Speaker 1: what what do you mean you're nervous? You gotta hold

904
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,319
Speaker 1: the ball. Shouldn't have said that in front of the kicker.

905
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: You should should have bit your lip all that time.

906
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 1: You got your kicker nervous too. He was barefooted, right

907
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 1: was he was he a barefoot guy. I don't think so. No,

908
00:49:57,840 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 1: he wasn't. No, I'm thinking of Al del Greco was

909
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: the barefooted guy right for the Owl, wasn't It was

910
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 1: Lee Johnson for the Oilers. He was a hunter and

911
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 1: kicked off for him. Lee Johnson, he was the he

912
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: was the punter for them back. Yeah. Um, yeah, we're

913
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,399
Speaker 1: crazy that the barefoot has just kind of dropped off

914
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: the face of the earth. You know what I mean.

915
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 1: They were when they when they take the kicking ball

916
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 1: right out of the box. Yeah, yeah, no thanks, Yeah,

917
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 1: it was crazy how guys preferred that though, give me

918
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: a hiking boot. Yeah that those ball those kicking balls

919
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 1: are rough. Man, They're not so bad anymore. But man

920
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,399
Speaker 1: a man. Well, that's what surprised me in the first place,

921
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:40,360
Speaker 1: that there were so because you know, when I was

922
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 1: growing up, you know, eighties, even early nineties, it was

923
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: I mean, there was a stretch there where a lot

924
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,919
Speaker 1: of those guys. Yeah, like I would say twenty twenty

925
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: five percent of the league's kickers were barefooting it. Well,

926
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:56,280
Speaker 1: maybe twenty percent, but you'd see one almost every Sunday

927
00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 1: doing something, putting, kicking whenever. The last that's what I

928
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: want to know. We gotta go who's the last straight

929
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 1: on kicker? Oh? Mosley? I think right? Was Mosley before

930
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: or after Russell erk Slaban. I'm going to say after

931
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 1: because I don't know who the hell you're talking. I

932
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 1: don't know Russell erk Slaban. Man, that's a name. Wow,

933
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:21,760
Speaker 1: Russell erk slave him and Russell erk Schlaban and spell

934
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 1: that one, everybody. What's the guy's name? Were kicking sixty

935
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: seven yarders in at Oklahoma and Texas down there and

936
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: those in the back of the day. Erk Schlaban was

937
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 1: a big dude, though, big straight on school kicker. I

938
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:37,240
Speaker 1: would say he was before Mosley because I do remember

939
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:41,359
Speaker 1: watching mo He was Washington and Cleveland right league when

940
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 1: I was coming up through high school in college because

941
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: Mosley was Washington and Cleveland, right, that was That's where

942
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 1: he ended. Anyway, Washing he was. I think he's the

943
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: last straight on. He was se Mosley was was the

944
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty two MVP of the league. That was a

945
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:59,840
Speaker 1: strike here too, right, But yeah, that's his claim to fame, okay,

946
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: and probably will be the last kicker on this. We

947
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:05,840
Speaker 1: started on a special teams track and went off on

948
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 1: a crazy tangent. We have to take a break though,

949
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:12,280
Speaker 1: because that's when we come back, we're gonna have Nick Hits.

950
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:17,480

Speaker 1: him over the last few years. Singletary has gotten himself

Speaker 1: Thanks for having me, guys. I appreciate it, you bet.

969
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 1: I asked you during the break if all the ot

970
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 1: you guys worked with so many NFL athletes, we gotta list,

971
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 1: I mean, there's it's a really impressive list. You help

972
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 1: a lot of guys out. And I asked you if

973
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 1: your place had emptied out because all the OTAs and

974
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 1: all the NFL players are out at their respective cities,

975
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 1: and you said, no way, Yeah, no, we're we're really

976
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 1: busy right now. It's um it's a different a different

977
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 1: um a demographic. We've been a lot of high school kids,

978
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 1: college kids. I mean, we train athletes that actually all

979
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 1: the way down to the age of six. We also

980
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,399
Speaker 1: have you know, fitness clients. We do a very very

981
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 1: good job of being well a well rounded facility. So

982
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 1: we're definitely not slowing down right now. But the NFL

983
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 1: guys actually will come back right before a mini camp,

984
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 1: so and then they'll probably go to mini camp and

985
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:21,319
Speaker 1: come back again before camp. So we'll be seeing those

986
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 1: guys here soon. And I know that you know your

987
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:28,799
Speaker 1: guy's elite training focuses on speed, strength, agility, endurance. Just

988
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: give us a little insight, Nick, as to what Devin

989
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:36,359
Speaker 1: Singletary came to you with, like maybe that initial conversation

990
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 1: where he said, I mean, I'm sure he wants to

991
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 1: be better at everything, but if there were some if

992
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 1: he narrowed the focus down this particular offseason, said hey, Nick,

993
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:49,240
Speaker 1: I want to take a step up here. Se speed

994
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 1: was the number one thing that he wanted to work on.

995
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: You know, he's very quick, extremely agile, but speed was

996
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 1: the you know, the main reason why he reached out

997
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:02,400
Speaker 1: to us to come train with us. Um, you know,

998
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:04,280
Speaker 1: I mean I looked at dev and I've been watching

999
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,359
Speaker 1: I watched football. I'm a big football fan, so I've

1000
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 1: been watching Devin for a while. And Devin lacked that

1001
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 1: big play you know speed where he'd be able to

1002
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 1: break through the second level and then get to the

1003
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: third level and then you know, have long touchdowns. So

1004
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 1: you know, I think he was very in tune with

1005
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 1: that and came to me saying, hey, I need to

1006
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,239
Speaker 1: get faster, And I said, I completely agree. A lot

1007
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 1: of your athletes and the ones that we saw there,

1008
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 1: most of them are skilled players. They're guys that are

1009
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 1: on the outside. The speed is the name of the game,

1010
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: and you also help them with how their feet come down,

1011
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:35,359
Speaker 1: their running technique, what is the number one? Is there,

1012
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 1: generally speaking, one flaw in their performance that kind of

1013
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: stands out there, you kind of saying, all right, here's

1014
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. Like do all these guys come

1015
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 1: to you and most of them have or share an

1016
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 1: issue with their you know, with the way they dropped

1017
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 1: their feet or way they use their arms and when

1018
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 1: they run. Um, you know, it's crazy, man. We're dealing

1019
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 1: with the elite of the elite, you know, you know,

1020
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 1: the best running backs the world, so to speak. We're

1021
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: gonna talk about Devin and these guys. So you know

1022
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:05,759
Speaker 1: when they come, they all they all are are very

1023
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:07,880
Speaker 1: special at what they do, but they also can be

1024
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,439
Speaker 1: better at certain things and and all that different things

1025
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 1: like for example, Dalvin Cook, you know, been training with us.

1026
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:18,320
Speaker 1: Dalvin very explosive, um, very polished, but kind of lacked

1027
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:20,359
Speaker 1: a certain wiggle, you know. And and and you know

1028
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:22,400
Speaker 1: what we introduced to him was a sweep cut and

1029
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 1: then a one two cut like these are all this

1030
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 1: is burbage that that I speak with these guys, you know.

1031
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 1: So that was when we worked with a dubt and

1032
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 1: then we had JK last year, and JK was very explosive,

1033
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 1: very fast, but didn't have that sprint and Derns, you know,

1034
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 1: after forty yards he'd kind of start to to, you know,

1035
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 1: take his foot off the gas. And that's what he

1036
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:40,920
Speaker 1: really wanted to work on. So when Devin comes to

1037
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:42,919
Speaker 1: me and when we're sitting there talking and he says,

1038
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 1: I need to work on speed, I completely agree. Um,

1039
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 1: you know, and it's not not really he's very he's

1040
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 1: a he's a very quick first step guy. But at

1041
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:52,759
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you know, you get past

1042
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 1: one guy, there's another ten in the NFL that are

1043
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 1: trying to get you. So it's okay, how can I

1044
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,319
Speaker 1: make these He's very agile, right, how can I make

1045
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 1: these moves? All right? But still do them going north

1046
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 1: and south as opposed to latter. And that was really

1047
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 1: that was really the focus with Devin, and he attacked

1048
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 1: it every single day. I was just surprised Nick when

1049
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 1: Devin told us, I never really had anybody teach me

1050
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 1: how to run before. And I guess for us on

1051
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 1: the outside looking in, we think of these elite athletes

1052
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 1: and we say, well, at some point along the way,

1053
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 1: somebody coached him on how to be I mean, yes,

1054
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 1: there are natural gifts that these guys are blessed with,

1055
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 1: but it's somewhere along the way the guy learned from

1056
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 1: somebody how to run as efficiently as possible. And he

1057
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 1: said that he never he never had anybody do that

1058
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 1: for him. So knowing that going in, Nick is the

1059
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 1: ability to improve his speed that much greater than most

1060
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 1: of the athletes who come in contact with because he's

1061
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 1: coming in as a pure neophyte as a runner. Yeah,

1062
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 1: so it's great. It's funny, right these you know, these

1063
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 1: athletes come to you and they either got one thing

1064
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: or the other. Right, So some of them have that

1065
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: track speed, you know, but don't have a good break system.

1066
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 1: They don't really understand how to decelerate properly. And the

1067
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 1: other guy has come that you know, they're not that fast,

1068
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: but man, they've got really good shake. They've got great deceleration.

1069
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 1: You know, they can put a foot in the ground

1070
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 1: and go any which way at any moment of time. Right.

1071
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 1: You know, it's the guys that kind of have both

1072
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 1: that are the really really special ones. So when Devin

1073
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 1: comes to me and he and he says, he's never

1074
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 1: been really you know, taught how to run. I understand,

1075
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 1: you know, because again a lot of these guys really haven't.

1076
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 1: They've been top dog of everything they've ever done, you know.

1077
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 1: And and um, I'm sure Devon's been one of the

1078
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:38,680
Speaker 1: fastest guys on his team always, but now you get

1079
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 1: to the NFL's a little bit different. There's a lot

1080
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 1: of fast guys. So I'm sure that it was never

1081
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 1: really a priority to him to learn how to run fast,

1082
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 1: but when he did come to us and so and

1083
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 1: this is this is training terms, running terms. Devin tends

1084
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 1: to run backside, which means he really doesn't get front

1085
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 1: side knee lift, so it's really hard to really push

1086
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 1: down a field, UM when you're running backside. So that

1087
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 1: was another thing that really worked on UM. Also, Devin

1088
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 1: being very bouncing elastic. He tends to stand on the

1089
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 1: ground too long when you run. That's not the goal

1090
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 1: when we run. You want to strike the ground and

1091
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 1: really bounce your foot off the turf or the or

1092
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 1: the grass and then keep moving. So it's just certain

1093
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 1: little techniques like that and bringing things down into layman's

1094
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 1: terms that he can understand. M is you know kind

1095
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 1: of what we did this offseason. I mean we didn't

1096
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 1: sit there and try to make him into a hundred

1097
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 1: meter sprinter. We just tried to make him you know.

1098
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 1: You know, I guess two tents three tenths faster than

1099
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 1: than what he what he was coming back in. And

1100
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 1: I mean he's motors got a motor. Now you mentioned

1101
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 1: you mentioned when we came in you're training kids as

1102
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:41,439
Speaker 1: young as six years old. Is there an age that's

1103
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 1: too young to train or what kind of training would

1104
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:46,439
Speaker 1: you recommend As the kid goes up and gets through

1105
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 1: puberty and that played up into the higher levels, how

1106
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 1: do you escalate not only the rigorous nature of the exercise,

1107
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 1: but also the commitment that you would ask of a

1108
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:58,480
Speaker 1: young kid who was doing it as opposed to obviously

1109
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 1: an an lead athlete. So, I mean, six years old

1110
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:04,880
Speaker 1: might be too young. It just depends on the six

1111
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:06,640
Speaker 1: year old. You know, there's a there's a couple six

1112
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:08,920
Speaker 1: year olds out there that are locked in that that

1113
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 1: want to get better, and then there's a ninety eight

1114
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 1: percent of six year olds out there that just want

1115
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: to play tag and play around and have fun. Right,

1116
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 1: So you know, it just depends on the athlete and

1117
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,680
Speaker 1: what they're trying to do. Now, there's a lot of

1118
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, things you can teach a six year old.

1119
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 1: You don't have to teach them how to be an

1120
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 1: Olympic sprinter, but you can teach them fundamentals of running,

1121
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 1: and you could use certain analogies that to help them understand,

1122
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 1: you know, what you're supposed to look like and what

1123
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 1: it's supposed to feel like when you're running. Like, for example, now,

1124
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:38,440
Speaker 1: if I got a six year old kid, I'm not

1125
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 1: going to really talk too much about about um, you know,

1126
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 1: specific arm action, but what I'll say is, you know,

1127
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:46,200
Speaker 1: you're pretend you're running down the hallway that's as tall

1128
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 1: as you are and as wide as you are, and

1129
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 1: if your arms are going side to side crazy, what

1130
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: are you doing? Little kids like oh, I'm bouncing off

1131
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:54,840
Speaker 1: the walls, you know? And I say, okay, is that

1132
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 1: is that you gonna help us run fast down the hallway?

1133
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 1: And like no, I need to tuck my elbows in.

1134
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 1: So it's just stuff like that, breaking down and creating

1135
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 1: analogies for these kids to understand. Um, that's where you're

1136
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 1: going to see the benefit. Um, you know, and then

1137
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 1: when you get to the NFL, guys, it's crazy because

1138
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 1: those same analogies still work. You know, they just never

1139
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 1: heard it. You know. Um, it's it's pretty, it's pretty.

1140
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 1: The spectrum is very very fast, but there's a lot

1141
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:20,960
Speaker 1: of overlaps. Uh. Rashad Wild Goose is a guy we're

1142
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,600
Speaker 1: just coming to know more about. I know he worked

1143
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:26,560
Speaker 1: with you guys. What can't you tell us about his

1144
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 1: skill set as a dB? Um that maybe we don't

1145
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:33,160
Speaker 1: know just having you know, been introduced to him about

1146
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:36,800
Speaker 1: a month and a half ago. He oh, man, he's

1147
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:40,800
Speaker 1: he's amazing. He's an amazing kid. Um. He is a

1148
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:43,920
Speaker 1: fantastic tackler. Number one. I think he was the best

1149
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 1: in my eyes. I might be a little biased, but

1150
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 1: I think he was the the best tackler in this

1151
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 1: year's draft for defensive backs. Um. He is extremely explosive. UM.

1152
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 1: He's insanely smart. UM. And he's a big team guy,

1153
01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:00,440
Speaker 1: big team guy. UM. I mean I really can't. I

1154
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 1: can go on and on for days about Rashad Man.

1155
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 1: I love that kid. You know, him and I got

1156
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 1: really close this offseason and this pre draft because we

1157
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:09,440
Speaker 1: decided to have just a few guys this year. We

1158
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,120
Speaker 1: didn't want a lot because because of COVID. Obviously, we

1159
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:14,600
Speaker 1: didn't want to jeopardize anybody's future and have you know,

1160
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:16,680
Speaker 1: twenty thirty guys. So we had a really small group

1161
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 1: and he was one of our guys who got really

1162
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 1: close and to him and I talk all the time.

1163
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 1: He's gonna have an amazing year. I honestly think that

1164
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:24,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna find his way in that field, whether a

1165
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 1: slock corner nicol or or a big time special teams guy,

1166
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 1: because he loves to hit and he's very explosive and

1167
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 1: he's extremely fast. What's the biggest challenge in training these guys?

1168
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 1: The biggest challenge in training these guys is dealing with

1169
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 1: all their different personalities. I think they're also different. They've

1170
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:47,920
Speaker 1: all are from different parts of the country, they've all

1171
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 1: had different backgrounds, they've all are different ages. Some of

1172
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 1: them don't like doing certain things, some of them love

1173
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:57,360
Speaker 1: doing those things. So it's just really kind of a

1174
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 1: you know, tailoring programs to specific needs of each guy,

1175
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 1: which again it's not tough, but it's I would say

1176
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,920
Speaker 1: that's the biggest obstacle that we overcome because here perform

1177
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 1: we we we create individualized programs to these guys. So

1178
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 1: it's not like all right, you know, twenty guys in

1179
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 1: our NFL group are all you do the same movements

1180
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:17,120
Speaker 1: and a lot of facilities do that, but we don't. Um,

1181
01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 1: we're very good at breaking things down so that it's

1182
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 1: you know, position specific or even you know, for vets,

1183
01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:26,280
Speaker 1: you know whose bodies are a little bit more banged up,

1184
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 1: you know they don't need to be you know, barbell squatting.

1185
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 1: You know they they want to do more of a

1186
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:34,120
Speaker 1: you know, goblet squats on a soords because you know

1187
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 1: their joints are old. So you know, that's I would

1188
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 1: say that's the biggest obstacle is just you know, tailoring

1189
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 1: programs and being able to adjust to these guys, um,

1190
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 1: you know, personalities, styles and lives. Talking to co owner

1191
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:51,400
Speaker 1: and director of performance at perform down there in Broward County,

1192
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:54,160
Speaker 1: it's Nick Hicks on the show with us, and let

1193
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 1: me just I just want to clarify Nick, because you know,

1194
01:03:57,440 --> 01:03:59,600
Speaker 1: at the combine, I think Devin ran like a four

1195
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 1: six six, So you're saying he's like two tents faster,

1196
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 1: three tents faster than that. Now you know it's crazy. Um,

1197
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 1: you know I didn't know Devin then and I had

1198
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 1: asked him. I said, hey, what did you run pretest

1199
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 1: that at the facility you trained at? And he actually

1200
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:17,240
Speaker 1: told me he ran a four or five okay, And

1201
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:18,440
Speaker 1: I was like, well, how do you go from four

1202
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 1: or five to four to six six? And he's like, man,

1203
01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, he's like, I don't know

1204
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:24,560
Speaker 1: how what happened. He's like, but I definitely don't feel

1205
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:26,200
Speaker 1: like I got the right work in the proper work,

1206
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 1: and so on and so forth. And it's so funny too,

1207
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 1: because you know, Devin's agent, Tony Richardson, I had known

1208
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 1: him for a long time and I told him. I

1209
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 1: was like, look, man, get Devin with us, getting motor

1210
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 1: with us for pre draft. But Devin wanted to go

1211
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:41,040
Speaker 1: somewhere else, you know, he wanted to go train at

1212
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 1: a different place. So um, it's funny. When I saw him,

1213
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 1: I was like, dude, you could have been with us. Man,

1214
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:46,480
Speaker 1: He's like, man, I know, I wish. I wish I

1215
01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 1: would have just listened to my agent, and you know

1216
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:51,000
Speaker 1: it would have just did what was best for me.

1217
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, you know, hindsights

1218
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:55,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. So we figured out, let's just forget about

1219
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:58,400
Speaker 1: talking about that and let's just start print. You know,

1220
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:02,160
Speaker 1: looking towards this office season, and again, like when he

1221
01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 1: first came out, I think he was a little overweight.

1222
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:07,280
Speaker 1: He's a lot of shape. You know, he's definitely trimmed

1223
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:09,640
Speaker 1: down a whole lot. He may look bigger, but I

1224
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:11,240
Speaker 1: think he's about the same way because you know, he's

1225
01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:14,120
Speaker 1: burned fat and put on some lean mass. But as

1226
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:16,160
Speaker 1: acceleration man, we pulled a lot of sleds. We did

1227
01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:19,120
Speaker 1: a lot of forming technique, We did progressive build ups,

1228
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 1: we did all sorts of sprint interable stuff, we did

1229
01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 1: tempo stuff, we did Kurby linear speed. I mean, we

1230
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:27,680
Speaker 1: literally left no stone unturned this off season. So yes,

1231
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna be way faster and way more explosive than

1232
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:33,080
Speaker 1: the Devin Singletary you guys are used to. When these

1233
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:35,440
Speaker 1: guys come out of a season, they always have exit

1234
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:38,400
Speaker 1: interviews Devin Singletary with the running backs coach here in Buffalo,

1235
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:42,040
Speaker 1: and they and the club gives them some direction for

1236
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:44,800
Speaker 1: the offseason. What the problem's worth their season? How much

1237
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:47,240
Speaker 1: input do these players come to you with, Say, listen,

1238
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:49,680
Speaker 1: here's what my coaching staff told me. I need to

1239
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:53,040
Speaker 1: work on. Do you have any interaction with the organization

1240
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:54,920
Speaker 1: at all or do you get that feedback through the

1241
01:05:54,960 --> 01:06:00,840
Speaker 1: player exclusively. Yeah, the organizations don't talk to us um

1242
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:02,520
Speaker 1: or at least, and they don't talk to me, you know,

1243
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:05,200
Speaker 1: I'm a you know, maybe they do to other facilities

1244
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 1: and whatnot. But you know again, I'm I'm I love

1245
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 1: to watch the game, and you know, I keep up

1246
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:12,880
Speaker 1: on guys and keep up on our guys, and I

1247
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:14,400
Speaker 1: can tell you what I think you need to work on,

1248
01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 1: you know. Um, but yeah, outside of what I think

1249
01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:21,920
Speaker 1: the player will come to me and say, hey, this

1250
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 1: is I need to put on fifteen pounds. You know.

1251
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 1: If you're like, we had a defensive back from Green

1252
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 1: Bas who was coach wanting bigger, so that was his goal. Um,

1253
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 1: you know, then Devin's like, I need to increase my speed,

1254
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:34,360
Speaker 1: you know, so on and so forth. So yeah, that's

1255
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:36,320
Speaker 1: that is the goal, you know, the goal. The goal

1256
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 1: is what they want us to do, and we're gonna

1257
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 1: work towards that. But no really contact with the coach

1258
01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:44,720
Speaker 1: of the organization, Nick. You know, we quickly realize that

1259
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: you've got the top three guys on the bills running

1260
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:48,760
Speaker 1: back depth chart that you've worked with. I mean, you've

1261
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 1: worked with Zach Moss, you worked with Matt Breedy, You've

1262
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:55,000
Speaker 1: now worked with Motor. Um. Was there any work with

1263
01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 1: Zach this offseason because he was in a full blown

1264
01:06:57,360 --> 01:06:59,880
Speaker 1: rehab situation with the ankle. Did he come in at

1265
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:03,240
Speaker 1: all or was he just sued on rehab? Man, I

1266
01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:05,840
Speaker 1: haven't worked with Zach. I haven't worked with Zach since

1267
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:07,920
Speaker 1: high school. You know, I trained him when he was

1268
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:10,680
Speaker 1: in high school. And UM, him and I had stayed

1269
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 1: in touch. UM, but he was he was out in

1270
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:17,480
Speaker 1: California this you know, his rookie off season, UM because

1271
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:19,920
Speaker 1: I think I think he had some prior obligations out

1272
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:23,040
Speaker 1: there that he had had planned and UM, he had

1273
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:25,600
Speaker 1: planned on coming back home this this this off season,

1274
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:28,520
Speaker 1: but he had an ankle injury, and UM, you know,

1275
01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:30,240
Speaker 1: I know he's been rebe habbing from that and really

1276
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:33,320
Speaker 1: hasn't done too much. But him and I have any contact. Um.

1277
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 1: He he did say that when he's health he's gonna

1278
01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 1: come down here and get some work with us. UM.

1279
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:40,120
Speaker 1: And then Matt Brina came this offseason. UM, because him

1280
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 1: and Jerick McKinnon, Jett McKinnon became real close in San Francisco.

1281
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:47,320
Speaker 1: So this was Brita's first off season with US. I

1282
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:49,480
Speaker 1: think he's him and him and Motor are gonna do

1283
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:54,160
Speaker 1: some some damage in that backfield. Um and then um, yeah,

1284
01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:57,040
Speaker 1: so so I haven't seen Zack yet. I'm excited to

1285
01:07:57,040 --> 01:07:58,320
Speaker 1: see him, and I know him and I stay in

1286
01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:01,040
Speaker 1: touch and we're in contact. So but I haven't seen

1287
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 1: him since high school. What is? But he was an

1288
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:04,920
Speaker 1: amazing player then and he's an amazing, amazing player now.

1289
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:07,320
Speaker 1: What is What does Breeda come to you with? I mean,

1290
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 1: the guy runs a four three eight. I imagine speed

1291
01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:13,120
Speaker 1: isn't at the top of his to do list. No, yeah,

1292
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 1: so so Matt, Matt is extremely fast and we've seen

1293
01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:18,679
Speaker 1: that multiple times when it was the Niners. We didn't

1294
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:20,800
Speaker 1: really get into see much of that last year with

1295
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:24,599
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. Um, you know, but uh, but Matt, Matt

1296
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:27,639
Speaker 1: had had, you know, come to me with with learning

1297
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:29,840
Speaker 1: wanting to learn a little bit more moves, you know,

1298
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:31,920
Speaker 1: whether it's a jump cut, a sweep cut, a one

1299
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 1: two cut, a skinny cut, so on and so forth.

1300
01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:36,400
Speaker 1: So you know, putting a little bit more tools in

1301
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:38,439
Speaker 1: his toolbox, so to speak. Put a little more shake

1302
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:40,880
Speaker 1: to his bake, you know, if you if you want

1303
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:43,200
Speaker 1: to hear that way. But um, that was it. And

1304
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:45,280
Speaker 1: we worked on a lot of lateral movement stuff and

1305
01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:48,240
Speaker 1: then And he's funny too because now when I first

1306
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 1: saw him that we first started training, he had that

1307
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:52,760
Speaker 1: trade lads, that straight line speed, but he didn't have

1308
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:56,040
Speaker 1: that lateral movement. But um, I remember about five weeks

1309
01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 1: in I'm watching him. I'm just blown away by what

1310
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:01,320
Speaker 1: he's doing with this, with his feet and with his

1311
01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:05,840
Speaker 1: hips and you know, his decisiveness and his cuts and

1312
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 1: and again, I think that has to do with the

1313
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:09,479
Speaker 1: group of guys that we have down here training. You know,

1314
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:11,680
Speaker 1: when you're training with Dalvin, you're training with JK. You're

1315
01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:14,439
Speaker 1: training with you know, Jerick McKinnon, you're training with La

1316
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 1: Michael p Ryan. You know, you've got motor. You've got

1317
01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:19,479
Speaker 1: this group of guys. You know, you have no other

1318
01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:23,240
Speaker 1: choice than to get better because you're watching reps all day,

1319
01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:27,200
Speaker 1: every single day from all these dudes that make an

1320
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:29,400
Speaker 1: impact on Sundays, you know. So I mean, if you're

1321
01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:32,080
Speaker 1: not paying attention, you're not learning, and everybody's out there,

1322
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:34,519
Speaker 1: you know, locked in. It's been a real evolution since

1323
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:36,360
Speaker 1: the times, since the guys that I came in, the

1324
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:38,800
Speaker 1: old guys in the league that we're playing in the

1325
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:41,639
Speaker 1: seventies and early eighties, and then when I came in

1326
01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:43,879
Speaker 1: the mid eighties and got out in the late nineties,

1327
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:47,919
Speaker 1: the training mechanisms and the training techniques have really evolved

1328
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:49,760
Speaker 1: and gotten better and better and better. Where do you

1329
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 1: see the future of athletic training headed? Do you see

1330
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:58,240
Speaker 1: any trends coming down on the horizon? Yeah? I do.

1331
01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 1: I think GPS systems, you know, trackers that that teams

1332
01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:05,599
Speaker 1: are using, UM, those are becoming very popular. Not only

1333
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:09,599
Speaker 1: did to monitor speed, you know and max speed or

1334
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 1: max you know, acceleration or you know, average of speed,

1335
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 1: but what it also does is kind of tracks and

1336
01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:18,599
Speaker 1: logs the volume of running so that these guys aren't

1337
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:20,639
Speaker 1: over training, you know. I mean some people go out

1338
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 1: there and they're out in the field for two and

1339
01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:24,360
Speaker 1: a half hours. You know. If you can come back

1340
01:10:24,439 --> 01:10:26,240
Speaker 1: and look and they're they're have been on the field

1341
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 1: and they've they've logged three thousand yards today running, that's

1342
01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:32,240
Speaker 1: probably a little bit too much, you know. So I

1343
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:36,120
Speaker 1: think training is getting smarter. I don't know if UM

1344
01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:40,519
Speaker 1: there's gonna be any crazy technological leaps, but um, it's

1345
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 1: definitely getting smarter because of the technology that we already

1346
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 1: have access to. Nick, thanks very much for the time

1347
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:47,920
Speaker 1: and uh kind of sharing with us some of the

1348
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:50,840
Speaker 1: work that these guys put in, because we're certainly looking

1349
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 1: forward to seeing him at mini camp next week and

1350
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:55,160
Speaker 1: training camp in about six weeks. So thanks for the time.

1351
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:58,479
Speaker 1: We appreciate it. You guys have me on man anytime,

1358
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:22,479
Speaker 1: it's a good place to have a facility because, I

1359
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:27,080
Speaker 1: mean South Florida is overrun with premium athletes. I mean

1360
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:29,280

1363
01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:40,960
Speaker 1: mean there's all kinds of major colleges go down there

1364
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:44,240
Speaker 1: to pick up Division one athletes and those guys train

1365
01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:46,519
Speaker 1: and it's you know, obviously the weather is they can

1366
01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:49,839
Speaker 1: train year round. You get young kids mixing in with pros.

1367
01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:53,439
Speaker 1: I make no question that the client list that Nick's

1368
01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:57,920
Speaker 1: got down there is great advertising. I mean people find

1369
01:11:57,960 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 1: out that the pros are training there, they want to

1370
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:01,280

Speaker 1: you know, kids, and you know when you got you're

1375
01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:16,720

01:12:16,800 --> 01:12:19,640
Speaker 1: that's the parents getting the kid trained. It's not the

1377
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:21,560
Speaker 1: kids saying hey, I want to go. I want to

1378
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:24,200
Speaker 1: go train. Many first graders saying hey, I gotta get

1379
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:26,439
Speaker 1: over to the facility today. I gotta get a workout

1380

1381
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:31,120
Speaker 1: my nap before nap time before right. I mean that's

1382
01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:33,720
Speaker 1: that's parents and I get it too. It's giving him

1383
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:35,880
Speaker 1: an opportunity, let him try it and do stuff. And

1384
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:37,240
Speaker 1: it's and if you're gonna do it, do it with

1385
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 1: a professional. Okay. Um, if you got that kind of

1386
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:43,479
Speaker 1: spare change for laying around. Yeah, send him over to

1387
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:46,320
Speaker 1: let him, let him run around with NFL players. Best

1388
01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:48,599
Speaker 1: thing to come out of that interview, because I don't

1389
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:50,400
Speaker 1: know if your ears perked up when you heard it.

1390
01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:53,559
Speaker 1: Motor has got a motor. Now, yeah, there you go.

1391
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:56,360
Speaker 1: That's what Nick said. You know, I got me excited.

1392
01:12:57,000 --> 01:13:00,400
Speaker 1: We'll see he said two to three tenths faster. See,

1393
01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:02,320
Speaker 1: I mean that's a big s. That's it. And now

1394
01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 1: he's in the four fours, big state. If he's in

1395
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:07,680
Speaker 1: the four fours, that is a big lookout. That's a

1396
01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:10,800
Speaker 1: big statement. Well, I'll reserve judgment until we see. Okay,

1397
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:13,439
Speaker 1: And now that is that is out of pads and

1398
01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:17,080
Speaker 1: a helmet. He's not in full gear. Problem. If you've

1399
01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:19,080
Speaker 1: got it, you've got it, whether your pads. Everybody else

1400
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:21,800
Speaker 1: has got the same pads and you do, so they'll

1401
01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:28,960
Speaker 1: slow down too. So yeah, okay, I'm that's great to hear. Yeah,

1402
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:31,320
Speaker 1: I you know, you want to see it before you

1403
01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:35,519
Speaker 1: believe it, Like yeah, I'm I'm not on his payroll

1404
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:38,920
Speaker 1: and I'm not well right, so I'm I'll wait. But

1405
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:41,400
Speaker 1: good for him and Motor didn't and I hope it

1406
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:45,400
Speaker 1: proves true. It's exciting me too, and I and I say,

1407
01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:47,800
Speaker 1: I'll say this again. There's a couple of guys on

1408
01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:51,400
Speaker 1: this roster that are, in my opinion, on the precipice

1409
01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:56,720
Speaker 1: of breakout years. A couple of guys and Motors one

1410
01:13:56,760 --> 01:14:00,479
Speaker 1: of them. Knox is one of them all versus one

1411
01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:05,400
Speaker 1: of them. We'll see. You know they've got but they

1412
01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:09,559
Speaker 1: have now aj could could as well, although he's still young,

1413
01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:12,559
Speaker 1: and we'll see. But I here's the thing. I think

1414
01:14:13,840 --> 01:14:16,000
Speaker 1: now that you get into that third year or even

1415
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:18,360
Speaker 1: in your second year like aj Epanezza, where you can

1416
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:20,160
Speaker 1: kind of you're a pro athlete and you got an

1417
01:14:20,160 --> 01:14:22,320
Speaker 1: offseason where you don't have to go to class, and

1418
01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:25,559
Speaker 1: as funny as that sounds, that's a big deal. You

1419
01:14:25,560 --> 01:14:27,040
Speaker 1: get to live where you want to live, You got

1420
01:14:27,040 --> 01:14:28,680
Speaker 1: the money to live how you want to live, and

1421
01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:31,679
Speaker 1: you can structure your life. If a guy's smart enough

1422
01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:35,880
Speaker 1: to structure his life around his professional athletics, like like

1423
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:38,439
Speaker 1: now and Motors third year he's down there doing then

1424
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:40,720
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he didn't do anything at all, but

1425
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm saying you've got it dialed in to where your

1426
01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:49,880
Speaker 1: lifestyle supports your career and your support system whatever whether

1427
01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:52,080
Speaker 1: you're married or not with you know, your your family

1428
01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:54,840
Speaker 1: or your living situation. It's all dialed in around your

1429
01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:58,200
Speaker 1: career and you it's convenient to go work out. You

1430
01:14:58,360 --> 01:15:00,280
Speaker 1: like working out. You're with a group of guy that

1431
01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:02,519
Speaker 1: are motivating and empowering. Get you in there and motor

1432
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:04,839
Speaker 1: you keep you in it, and you got an expert

1433
01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:08,479
Speaker 1: doing it, and you don't miss You don't take two

1434
01:15:08,479 --> 01:15:12,320
Speaker 1: weeks and go to you know, Bora, Bora. Yeah, you

1435
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:15,400
Speaker 1: post up at the beach with a bottle in your hand,

1436
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:16,880
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You guys don't do that.

1437
01:15:17,120 --> 01:15:19,679
Speaker 1: They can for week, you know what I mean. But

1438
01:15:20,320 --> 01:15:23,120
Speaker 1: their life, it becomes a lifestyle as a professional athlete,

1439
01:15:23,200 --> 01:15:25,599
Speaker 1: not just a career. And when they get to that point,

1440
01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:27,560
Speaker 1: the quicker they do, the quicker, you see results and

1441
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:29,760
Speaker 1: it shows up on the field. So I'm I'm like you,

1442
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:32,600
Speaker 1: that's fun to hear about Motor Singletary coming out and

1443
01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:36,679
Speaker 1: being significantly faster than what we've seen him be. Motors

1444
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:38,840
Speaker 1: got a motor now, that's a that's a quote to

1445
01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:42,040
Speaker 1: live by. Write that down all I already did. It's

1446
01:15:42,120 --> 01:15:45,960
Speaker 1: right here. It's not a motor now we have to

1447
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:48,200
Speaker 1: take a break. When we come back, it might be

1448
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:52,120

01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:46,840
Speaker 1: item on the menu for what's for lunch today, Steve?

1463
01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:53,679
Speaker 1: Does Aaron Rodgers absence open the door in the NFC North? Yes?

1464
01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:58,720
Speaker 1: Or no? And what's for lunch? Presented by Independent Health?

1465
01:16:58,920 --> 01:17:04,000
Speaker 1: You deserve the red shirt treatment. Yeah, Aaron Rodgers absence

1466
01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:07,479
Speaker 1: opens the door in the NFC North abspositutely it does,

1467
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:11,479
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Okay? And if it does, who

1468
01:17:11,479 --> 01:17:14,320
Speaker 1: do you like? Let's assume him hypothetically Rogers does not

1469
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:16,280
Speaker 1: play for the Packers this year, and it's Jordan Love

1470
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:19,320
Speaker 1: at quarterback. Who do you like in the NFC North?

1471
01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:25,480
Speaker 1: You like Minnesota? I think I might like Chicago. Chicago.

1472
01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:28,599
Speaker 1: Are you expecting Fields to player like I am? Yeah.

1473
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:33,080
Speaker 1: I mean I read an article where he's Jared goffin

1474
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:35,200
Speaker 1: Detroit said that this Detroit staff was getting him a

1475
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:38,360
Speaker 1: little bit more autonomy. There was a reason Sean McVay

1476
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:43,280
Speaker 1: didn't give him autonomy. Yeah, and it wasn't Sean mcvay's ego.

1477
01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:51,160
Speaker 1: So I'm saying that's a disaster Minnesota. I just don't

1478
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:56,920
Speaker 1: know how they've improved. Chicago is going to be better.

1479
01:17:58,200 --> 01:17:59,760
Speaker 1: I think they can get if they can have the

1480
01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:01,600
Speaker 1: kind think about it. They were twelve and four with

1481
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 1: Mitch Drubisky as a rookie and that was the double

1482
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:11,000
Speaker 1: doink exit from the playoffs. They know how to handle

1483
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:14,240
Speaker 1: a young quarterback, at least in his rookie season. So

1484
01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:16,840
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I could see Chicago doing And I

1485
01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:18,960
Speaker 1: don't know about Jordan Love. Maybe Jordan love Will. With

1486
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:21,880
Speaker 1: a year under his belt, he should have a sense

1487
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:23,920
Speaker 1: of what that offense is all about. He's got a

1488
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:27,639
Speaker 1: bunch of really good physical traits. Green Bay may still

1489
01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:31,200
Speaker 1: be the team, but I know this, they won't be

1490
01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:35,960
Speaker 1: as good without the MVP of the league. I believe

1491
01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:38,120
Speaker 1: in Justin Fields. I know there were a lot of

1492
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:40,960
Speaker 1: doubters and naysayers in the draft. I think he is

1493
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:43,920
Speaker 1: the real mcgilla. How much how much of the naysayers

1494
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:45,720
Speaker 1: of the draft about Justin Field had to do with

1495
01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:49,519
Speaker 1: the Ohio State quarterbacks of the last fifteen years, it

1496
01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:51,519
Speaker 1: probably had something to do with I think he's the

1497
01:18:51,560 --> 01:18:53,360
Speaker 1: real deal. That guy showed me a lot in that

1498
01:18:53,400 --> 01:19:00,280
Speaker 1: game against Clemson in the College Football Semifinal because he

1499
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:02,240
Speaker 1: took a shot to his ribs, which was right where

1500
01:19:02,240 --> 01:19:05,280
Speaker 1: I broke my Christmas Eve, And then I watched him

1501
01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:07,960
Speaker 1: play the rest of the game after taking a shot,

1502
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:12,680
Speaker 1: and I'm like, holy crap, this guy's tough. Rum. So

1503
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:15,759
Speaker 1: that won me over right there because I could relate

1504
01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:20,240
Speaker 1: to his rib injury at the time. But I heard

1505
01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:25,360
Speaker 1: Matt Naggy in a zoom call earlier from earlier this week,

1506
01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:31,320
Speaker 1: and he said Justin Fields is an aggressive assassin. He

1507
01:19:31,439 --> 01:19:38,520
Speaker 1: said that. So he's in the midst of a quarterback competition.

1508
01:19:38,640 --> 01:19:43,519
Speaker 1: Showed me that thing and every young quarterback. Wow, he

1509
01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:46,760
Speaker 1: really picked up our office. He's just threw a laser

1510
01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:49,760
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. He might be going to the Hall

1511
01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:53,320
Speaker 1: of Fame, right he is? How How did this guy

1512
01:19:53,600 --> 01:19:57,320
Speaker 1: slip through the cracks? Wow? Right? He was the eighth

1513
01:19:57,400 --> 01:20:00,000
Speaker 1: picking Right? How did he fall to number eight? Unbelieved?

1514
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:04,040
Speaker 1: Evable that it's all of that's happened. But I think

1515
01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:06,120
Speaker 1: if he can get on the field early, I think

1516
01:20:06,160 --> 01:20:09,559
Speaker 1: he can. The smartest quarterback I've ever worked with. Even

1517
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:12,040
Speaker 1: if he can't read it right away, he can extend

1518
01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:14,320
Speaker 1: the play with his legs and then make something happen.

1519
01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:17,599
Speaker 1: We saw Josh do that as a young quarterback here. Um,

1520
01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:21,840
Speaker 1: is that enough to win the NFC North? I don't know.

1521
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe it's but the Yeah, the door is definitely open.

1522
01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:31,439
Speaker 1: So I would say yes to our first what's for

1523
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:35,080
Speaker 1: lunch menu question? Absolute second second item on the menu,

1524
01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:39,320
Speaker 1: Steve rookie running back to have a better season, Travis

1525
01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:49,080
Speaker 1: etn or Naji Harris. I'm gonna say, I'll say Travis

1526
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:52,559
Speaker 1: at N And why is that? I think He's gonna

1527
01:20:52,560 --> 01:21:00,600
Speaker 1: get um some opportunity, more opportunity the ball in his

1528
01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:04,720
Speaker 1: hands than Naji Harris. I think Naji Harris they brought

1529
01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:06,439
Speaker 1: him in to run the ball. I think they brought

1530
01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:10,200
Speaker 1: Atn in to be to carry the ball in from

1531
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:12,200
Speaker 1: in the passing game and the running game. I think

1532
01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:15,599
Speaker 1: they're going to give at N a lot more touches

1533
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:19,000
Speaker 1: than Naji will get just running the ball. I don't

1534
01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:23,200
Speaker 1: think we should forget the presence of James Robinson on

1535
01:21:23,240 --> 01:21:27,760
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville roster. He was an undrafted rookie running back

1536
01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:30,519
Speaker 1: last year ran for over a thousand yards. He's a load.

1537
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:33,760
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if they use Etn as a

1538
01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:36,240
Speaker 1: change of pace back, at least in the early going,

1539
01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:38,600
Speaker 1: use him as a third down guy, catch out of

1540
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:41,400
Speaker 1: the backfield, that kind of stuff. He's got a probably

1541
01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:43,680
Speaker 1: can stand up against pass protection too. He's got to

1542
01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:48,439
Speaker 1: take and all that. On the Steelers roster, it's Naji

1543
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:51,360
Speaker 1: Harris and a bunch of guys. We're talking Benny Snell.

1544
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:55,400
Speaker 1: There's nobody else. There's nobody else. I'm I'm I think

1545
01:21:55,439 --> 01:21:58,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lean towards Naji Harris on this one. Because

1546
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:00,320
Speaker 1: I don't think that anybody else to carry ball that

1547
01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:02,560
Speaker 1: they feel good about behind what is going to be

1548
01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:05,680
Speaker 1: a suspect offensive line until proven otherwise, this thing a

1549
01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:08,160
Speaker 1: suspect offensive line that could hurt him. And remember what

1550
01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:11,040
Speaker 1: happened last year, Ben just refused to hand it all. Well,

1551
01:22:11,040 --> 01:22:14,280
Speaker 1: there's that too. They absolutely, that's a real thing. They

1552
01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:19,960
Speaker 1: absolutely abandoned the running game. New coordinator, though, abandoned it.

1553
01:22:20,200 --> 01:22:22,400
Speaker 1: And that was and I'm telling you that came from

1554
01:22:22,439 --> 01:22:24,200
Speaker 1: I think that came from Ben as much as it

1555
01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:28,040
Speaker 1: did from the coordinator or Mike Tomlin. And he just

1556
01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:30,880
Speaker 1: got sick of being in second and eleven all the time,

1557
01:22:30,960 --> 01:22:35,120
Speaker 1: or second and ten all the time, and just forget it.

1558
01:22:35,160 --> 01:22:38,000
Speaker 1: So they stopped even trying to run the football. And

1559
01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:41,080
Speaker 1: they come back this year with Nagy Harris, and to me,

1560
01:22:41,160 --> 01:22:44,880
Speaker 1: it's backwards trying to fix your running game with a

1561
01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:48,920
Speaker 1: running back instead of an offensive line. But you know Steelers,

1562
01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:51,880
Speaker 1: they they're the ones that have won six championships. I

1563
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:54,280
Speaker 1: haven't won any, so I'll, you know, I'll give him

1564
01:22:54,320 --> 01:22:56,479
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt, but I don't think Naji

1565
01:22:56,520 --> 01:22:59,000
Speaker 1: Harris is gonna get enough opportunity. I think Etn is

1566
01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:00,640
Speaker 1: going to prove his worth and get the ball, and

1567
01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:02,880
Speaker 1: they get the ball in his hands in multitude aways.

1568
01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:07,040
Speaker 1: Fair enough. Third on the menu, Derreck Henry will break

1569
01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:09,639
Speaker 1: Eric Dickerson's rushing record of twenty one hundred and five

1570
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:13,400
Speaker 1: yards in twenty twenty one. Yes or no? I will

1571
01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:17,559
Speaker 1: say no. Not after a three hundred and seventy eight

1572
01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:22,799
Speaker 1: carry season in twenty twenty and had nineteen catches as well.

1573
01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:28,559
Speaker 1: I don't think he will make it to two hundred

1574
01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:31,800
Speaker 1: to twenty one five. Yeah, it's very rare that a

1575
01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:34,839
Speaker 1: running back has back to back two thousand yards seasons.

1576
01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:36,680
Speaker 1: I think Terrell Davis might be the only guy to

1577
01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:39,040
Speaker 1: have done that. Is that right? Did he do that?

1578
01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:42,960
Speaker 1: I don't even he met it For some reason, I'll

1579
01:23:42,960 --> 01:23:45,479
Speaker 1: look it up. I don't. He's the only guy I

1580
01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:49,200
Speaker 1: think may have come close to that. But yeah, I

1581
01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:50,920
Speaker 1: would tend to agree with you. I don't think he's

1582
01:23:50,920 --> 01:23:53,639
Speaker 1: breaking Dickerson's record. I don't think he gets to two

1583
01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:56,639
Speaker 1: thousand yards, especially now with the presence of Julio Jones

1584
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:59,439
Speaker 1: and AJ Brown on the roster. You know they're going

1585
01:23:59,479 --> 01:24:01,240
Speaker 1: to try to throw throw it more. Yeah, he did not.

1586
01:24:01,360 --> 01:24:04,479
Speaker 1: He only had one two thousand yards season Terrell Davis Um,

1587
01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:08,720
Speaker 1: So I'm going to say no, I don't even think

1588
01:24:08,720 --> 01:24:10,559
Speaker 1: he gets to two thousand because they're gonna throw it

1589
01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:13,840
Speaker 1: more this year, I believe, with Julio and aj outside,

1590
01:24:13,920 --> 01:24:16,120
Speaker 1: So I think they take the load off of Derrick

1591
01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:18,839
Speaker 1: Henry a little bit. He still might have three hundred carries,

1592
01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:23,599
Speaker 1: but I don't think he's getting They're old lines taking

1593
01:24:23,600 --> 01:24:25,799
Speaker 1: a little bit of a hit two, so that shouldow

1594
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:28,679
Speaker 1: up sometime. And yeah, and he's getting harried very close

1595
01:24:28,720 --> 01:24:31,080
Speaker 1: to the drop off age. He turns twenty seven this year.

1596
01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:34,280
Speaker 1: He's still young. And remember the first two or three

1597
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:36,519
Speaker 1: years of his career, they were splitting the carries between

1598
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:42,440
Speaker 1: him and Y two K And you know, so, yeah,

1599
01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:45,600
Speaker 1: I just don't think. Yeah, I just don't think he

1600
01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:47,920
Speaker 1: can do it. It's a big number. Okay. Last one

1601
01:24:48,040 --> 01:24:50,800
Speaker 1: for What's for lunch? QB. Who got the most help

1602
01:24:50,880 --> 01:25:00,439
Speaker 1: this offseason? Tuah or Justin Herbert? What did Herbert get? Well,

1603
01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:03,000
Speaker 1: Herbert got a brand new veteran center and Corey Linsley,

1604
01:25:03,040 --> 01:25:05,240
Speaker 1: which was believed to be the weak link of the

1605
01:25:05,320 --> 01:25:11,000
Speaker 1: Chargers offensive line last year. Finnie or Phoenie Dan Foenie

1606
01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:13,200
Speaker 1: was their starting center last year. He's in New York now.

1607
01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:17,360
Speaker 1: They signed Corey Linsley to a giant contract, So the

1608
01:25:17,640 --> 01:25:20,240
Speaker 1: center was the weak link and the guy who played

1609
01:25:20,280 --> 01:25:23,080
Speaker 1: guard for them for sixteen games is also gone. Well.

1610
01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:27,240
Speaker 1: I believe there was a trickle down effect that spread

1611
01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:28,880
Speaker 1: out to the guards because they were trying to cover

1612
01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:32,519
Speaker 1: for this deficient center, but may have been unfairly blamed

1613
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:37,920
Speaker 1: in the process. I could be wrong, but two has

1614
01:25:37,960 --> 01:25:41,040
Speaker 1: gotten a lot more added. I mean, Herbert has a

1615
01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:46,200
Speaker 1: good roster already helping him out. As far as free agency,

1616
01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:50,960
Speaker 1: you know what supplemented the roster from that part of

1617
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:55,080
Speaker 1: the offseason for the Chargers was more like, yeah, it

1618
01:25:55,120 --> 01:25:59,240
Speaker 1: was more limited in scope than what Miami did. Miami

1619
01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:04,559
Speaker 1: threw a bunch of guys overboard. But yeah, So the

1620
01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:08,280
Speaker 1: Chargers invested in the offensive line, Corey Linsley at center,

1621
01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:11,800
Speaker 1: Matt Feiler, they signed from Pittsburgh a starting guard. They

1622
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:14,880
Speaker 1: got Jared Cook to replace Hunter Henry at tight end.

1623
01:26:15,120 --> 01:26:17,479
Speaker 1: He's a little old, but at least they got somebody.

1624
01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:21,400
Speaker 1: And then they also got veteran quarterback Chase Daniel to

1625
01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:24,240
Speaker 1: back him up and be a veteran presence in the

1626
01:26:24,360 --> 01:26:28,120
Speaker 1: quarterback room. And then they drafted Rashawn Slater's left tackle,

1627
01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:31,960
Speaker 1: so a lot of old line helped there. I think

1628
01:26:31,960 --> 01:26:35,400
Speaker 1: that's a smart way to go. Maybe maybe I should flip,

1629
01:26:35,439 --> 01:26:38,200
Speaker 1: Maybe I should change menu and scratch out what I

1630
01:26:38,240 --> 01:26:40,120
Speaker 1: just said. I thought, let me change my order, to

1631
01:26:40,280 --> 01:26:42,479
Speaker 1: change my order to Justin Herbert. Yeah, I'm gonna go

1632
01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:46,480
Speaker 1: Herbert too, because I think that was the biggest inhibitor

1633
01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:48,800
Speaker 1: to him having even more production, the fact they had

1634
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:50,960
Speaker 1: to run around so much behind a suspect line and

1635
01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:53,800
Speaker 1: pass protection words coming out about two and now though

1636
01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:55,840
Speaker 1: that he was never one hundred percent healthy last year,

1637
01:26:55,880 --> 01:26:57,639
Speaker 1: his hip was still bothering him. And you can imagine

1638
01:26:57,680 --> 01:27:01,439
Speaker 1: why it would. He can't drive into rows major knee surgeries,

1639
01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:03,320
Speaker 1: and you can imagine how much worse it is for

1640
01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:06,759
Speaker 1: a major hip surgery. You don't your body doesn't feel

1641
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:09,080
Speaker 1: normal to you. It still feels like you're coming back

1642
01:27:09,120 --> 01:27:10,880
Speaker 1: from something and is the more you rep it and

1643
01:27:10,880 --> 01:27:12,439
Speaker 1: the more you get out on and the more normal

1644
01:27:12,520 --> 01:27:14,720
Speaker 1: it feels to your to your mind as well as

1645
01:27:14,760 --> 01:27:18,200
Speaker 1: your body. He didn't feel like both his hips were right,

1646
01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:21,360
Speaker 1: you know, one hip wasn't quite right or quite as strong.

1647
01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:24,160
Speaker 1: He was in a new offense, had a lot of

1648
01:27:24,160 --> 01:27:26,559
Speaker 1: things working against him, do you. I mean, I've you're

1649
01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:28,880
Speaker 1: hearing a lot about how tough it was on him

1650
01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:30,920
Speaker 1: last year with no preseason and all that, and you

1651
01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:35,799
Speaker 1: can imagine, yes, it would be to a seems primed

1652
01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:38,360
Speaker 1: for another for a nice step forward this year. We'll see,

1653
01:27:38,640 --> 01:27:40,560
Speaker 1: we'll see and most of that though for me, he

1654
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:43,800
Speaker 1: is inside Tah. You know it's up to him rather

1655
01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:45,840
Speaker 1: than it is as much as it is the guys

1656
01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:51,639
Speaker 1: around him. Yeah, I get that. That worries me if

1657
01:27:51,680 --> 01:27:54,720
Speaker 1: I'm a Dolphins fan, because if he's dealing with these

1658
01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:58,000
Speaker 1: maladies as a twenty three year old and he's not

1659
01:27:58,040 --> 01:28:00,240
Speaker 1: a big man. Yeah, but he gets knocked around a

1660
01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:02,320
Speaker 1: little bit. They're all gonna get knocked around. But he

1661
01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:04,080
Speaker 1: played a whole season last year. He was around a

1662
01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:05,920
Speaker 1: whole season last year. Didn't play the entire year, but

1663
01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:09,240
Speaker 1: he played a ton and came through fine. And he

1664
01:28:09,360 --> 01:28:12,360
Speaker 1: wasn't just right. So there's no reason to think he's

1665
01:28:12,360 --> 01:28:14,960
Speaker 1: not gonna okay. So he has like a nine or

1666
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:17,519
Speaker 1: ten year career instead of a seventeen year career, still

1667
01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:19,479
Speaker 1: a good decade for you if he's your guy. Yeah,

1668
01:28:20,920 --> 01:28:23,160
Speaker 1: we have to take a break that's what's for lunch,

1669
01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:26,799
Speaker 1: presented by Independent Health, Get Yourself the Red Shirted treatment

1670
01:28:27,479 --> 01:28:30,800
Speaker 1: break time for us. When we come back, I'm gonna

1671
01:28:30,840 --> 01:28:35,400
Speaker 1: ask Steve how long he thinks he could hang freely

1672
01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:39,360
Speaker 1: from a horizontal bar with his two hands, because we've

1673
01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:41,240
Speaker 1: got a guy that broke again his book of world

1674
01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:45,479
Speaker 1: records from Norway. We're gonna see if Steve can guess

1675
01:28:45,520 --> 01:28:48,720
Speaker 1: how long the guy hung suspended from this bar in

1676
01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:53,080
Speaker 1: his garage to set the world record. Next on One

1677
01:28:53,120 --> 01:28:56,080
Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by Collot of Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

1678
01:29:07,080 --> 01:29:09,680
Speaker 1: One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you and

1679
01:29:09,880 --> 01:29:13,320
Speaker 1: uh from the World of the Wild and the Wacky Steve.

1680
01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:17,240
Speaker 1: We have a new Guinness Book of World Record holder

1681
01:29:18,240 --> 01:29:21,960
Speaker 1: four a dead hang in the length of time in

1682
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:25,720
Speaker 1: which this person did it, So hanging off let's just

1683
01:29:25,720 --> 01:29:28,760
Speaker 1: say a chinning bar for lack of a better term. Right,

1684
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:31,040
Speaker 1: how long do you think you'd be able to hold

1685
01:29:31,080 --> 01:29:34,080
Speaker 1: on with your two hands before having to let go

1686
01:29:34,240 --> 01:29:37,880
Speaker 1: from exhaust? Right now? Well? I sure, right now today

1687
01:29:38,160 --> 01:29:45,479
Speaker 1: like five seconds? This is back for my long I

1688
01:29:45,479 --> 01:29:47,559
Speaker 1: don't know if I could even do sixty seconds. Yeah,

1689
01:29:47,640 --> 01:29:52,000
Speaker 1: it's it's tough proof. Yeah, it's tough. Back when I

1690
01:29:52,040 --> 01:29:56,040
Speaker 1: was doing pull ups regularly, maybe a minute and a half,

1691
01:29:56,200 --> 01:29:59,160
Speaker 1: two minutes. Yet the record's got to be less than

1692
01:29:59,200 --> 01:30:02,720
Speaker 1: like five minutes. It is not it's not uh, and

1693
01:30:02,800 --> 01:30:07,120
Speaker 1: this is actually can you regrip? Uh? That's a good question.

1694
01:30:07,280 --> 01:30:12,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like can he like readjust im? It's

1695
01:30:12,320 --> 01:30:15,960
Speaker 1: called a dead hang, So I don't think so, because

1696
01:30:16,120 --> 01:30:18,639
Speaker 1: dead hang means you don't move. Maybe if you move,

1697
01:30:18,680 --> 01:30:20,280
Speaker 1: they got to watch and they click it off when

1698
01:30:20,320 --> 01:30:22,400
Speaker 1: you just and then click it back on. Yeah, that

1699
01:30:22,600 --> 01:30:25,559
Speaker 1: is that is not specified here in this write up.

1700
01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:27,840
Speaker 1: I wonder what the rules are. But there is a

1701
01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:31,760
Speaker 1: new world record holder for a horizontal bar dead hang.

1702
01:30:32,800 --> 01:30:38,720
Speaker 1: A Norwegian man who has cerebral palsy has set the

1703
01:30:38,760 --> 01:30:47,120
Speaker 1: record sixteen minutes and three seconds. What's sixty's wait? Sixteen

1704
01:30:47,200 --> 01:30:49,840
Speaker 1: minutes and three seconds. This guy does pull ups in

1705
01:30:49,920 --> 01:30:53,000
Speaker 1: his wheelchairs. Wheelchair on him. Yeah, that was a previous

1706
01:30:53,680 --> 01:30:57,160
Speaker 1: thing that he did. He does pull ups overhand pull

1707
01:30:57,240 --> 01:31:00,320
Speaker 1: ups in his wheelchair, so he's pulling up him self

1708
01:31:00,320 --> 01:31:02,759
Speaker 1: and his wheelchair. But this guy is a hardcore trainer.

1709
01:31:04,800 --> 01:31:08,880
Speaker 1: Great story. Name is Harold Reese. Sixteen minutes in three

1710
01:31:08,960 --> 01:31:12,240
Speaker 1: seconds to break the record of thirteen minutes and fifty

1711
01:31:12,240 --> 01:31:14,919
Speaker 1: two seconds, which was set by an Italian man, Tazio

1712
01:31:15,040 --> 01:31:19,880
Speaker 1: Gavioli in twenty eighteen. So he crushed the record. He said,

1713
01:31:19,960 --> 01:31:22,920
Speaker 1: setting a dead hang world record title was for me

1714
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:26,280
Speaker 1: the ultimate challenge. I wanted to show both myself and

1715
01:31:26,320 --> 01:31:29,720
Speaker 1: others that it was possible, and I'm thrilled that I succeeded.

1716
01:31:30,920 --> 01:31:33,840
Speaker 1: Trained for ten weeks to set the world record, and

1717
01:31:33,880 --> 01:31:36,439
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you his hands are not moving, Steve No,

1718
01:31:36,800 --> 01:31:39,960
Speaker 1: not moving his hands at all. But he said, being

1719
01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:43,880
Speaker 1: a wheelchair user, I am dependent on my upper body

1720
01:31:43,920 --> 01:31:47,320
Speaker 1: strength to cope with everyday physical challenges. My ability to

1721
01:31:47,439 --> 01:31:50,640
Speaker 1: dead hang, for instance, is quite literally what gets me

1722
01:31:50,720 --> 01:31:53,439
Speaker 1: out of bed in the morning every day. I mean,

1723
01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:57,480
Speaker 1: he is all upper body because his legs are pretty debilitated.

1724
01:31:57,520 --> 01:31:59,479
Speaker 1: He doesn't have a lot of use of his legs,

1725
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:03,519
Speaker 1: and he trains his legs to try to get him going. Right. Yeah,

1726
01:32:03,560 --> 01:32:05,920
Speaker 1: but he's an upper body person. Well, yeah, that's how

1727
01:32:05,920 --> 01:32:13,000
Speaker 1: he gets around. That's is that awesome sixteen minutes I

1728
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:15,160
Speaker 1: couldn't do. I literally don't know that I could do

1729
01:32:15,160 --> 01:32:18,000
Speaker 1: it for sixteen seconds. Oh yeah, you could probably don't know,

1730
01:32:18,040 --> 01:32:21,160
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds without moving. I mean, bravo to that guy.

1731
01:32:21,240 --> 01:32:25,640
Speaker 1: That is sixteen minutes cool. And he was. He was

1732
01:32:25,720 --> 01:32:30,400
Speaker 1: hanging motionless, motionless his entire body. He's not re gripping

1733
01:32:30,439 --> 01:32:35,040
Speaker 1: the bar, struggling with his illness, no question. But he

1734
01:32:35,200 --> 01:32:38,839
Speaker 1: was just think about he was like just putting a

1735
01:32:38,880 --> 01:32:40,560
Speaker 1: piece of meat on a hook and just letting it

1736
01:32:40,640 --> 01:32:43,240
Speaker 1: sit there. That's how still he was. I mean, he wasn't,

1737
01:32:43,320 --> 01:32:46,840
Speaker 1: which is probably, which is probably the key to maintaining

1738
01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:48,879
Speaker 1: your grip. You want to be as still as possible

1739
01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:51,800
Speaker 1: because once you start swinging your legs around or you

1740
01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:54,800
Speaker 1: know what I mean, you're compromising your grip. Well, I

1741
01:32:54,840 --> 01:32:58,679
Speaker 1: think of the persusation the previous records thirteen minutes fifty

1742
01:32:58,720 --> 01:33:01,720
Speaker 1: two seconds, which I know for sure I could not do.

1743
01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:06,240
Speaker 1: Um he beat it by almost three minutes. I mean,

1744
01:33:06,479 --> 01:33:10,680
Speaker 1: man alive. That's awesome. Good for him, that fantastic. I

1745
01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:15,799
Speaker 1: hope he's inspiration to everybody, not just the cerebral palsy community.

1746
01:33:15,880 --> 01:33:18,200
Speaker 1: Good for him, man, just do your thing. Man, that's

1747
01:33:19,600 --> 01:33:21,479
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you. I'm more impressed with the pull

1748
01:33:21,560 --> 01:33:26,000
Speaker 1: ups in his wheelchair. Overhand. He had a couple of

1749
01:33:26,080 --> 01:33:29,120
Speaker 1: he was doing obviously, just a moving truck. He just stunts.

1750
01:33:29,160 --> 01:33:31,720
Speaker 1: So he's got this this chinning bar on top of

1751
01:33:31,720 --> 01:33:36,240
Speaker 1: a semi right, and he's and it's he's in his wheelchair,

1752
01:33:36,320 --> 01:33:38,920
Speaker 1: got a helmet on and stuff. That's amazing. The truck's

1753
01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:41,800
Speaker 1: driving around the streets and he's doing pull ups in

1754
01:33:41,920 --> 01:33:45,080
Speaker 1: this truck on the back of this truck on top

1755
01:33:45,160 --> 01:33:50,559
Speaker 1: of it. So that's kind of cool. Yeah, Harold Reese. Unbelievable. Yeah,

1756
01:33:50,600 --> 01:33:53,759
Speaker 1: there's the truck. Yeah, and n bar is like bolting

1757
01:33:53,840 --> 01:33:56,679
Speaker 1: to the top, is above the back of the trailer

1758
01:33:56,840 --> 01:34:01,720
Speaker 1: he's doing. He's doing literally unbelievable. He's pounding them out

1759
01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:05,599
Speaker 1: and he's strapped. The chair is strapped to his legs

1760
01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:07,600
Speaker 1: and hips. Yeah, so he's not just pulling up his

1761
01:34:07,640 --> 01:34:14,280
Speaker 1: own body weight, he's pulling his chair along with it. Congratulations,

1762
01:34:14,800 --> 01:34:19,320
Speaker 1: just broke it, um, I guess yesterday. So good for him. Man,

1763
01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:24,519
Speaker 1: sixteen minutes in three seconds, dead hang record. Wow, that

1764
01:34:24,680 --> 01:34:27,880
Speaker 1: is amazing. You gotta want it, brownie. All right, we

1765
01:34:28,040 --> 01:34:30,479
Speaker 1: have to take a break. When we come back, the

1766
01:34:30,560 --> 01:34:33,679
Speaker 1: obil Fan Friday mail bag will be cracked open again.

1767
01:34:33,720 --> 01:34:35,960
Speaker 1: We've got some interesting questions in there that Steve and

1768
01:34:36,040 --> 01:34:38,160
Speaker 1: I have to get to We will do our best

1769
01:34:38,200 --> 01:34:40,040
Speaker 1: to answer each and every one that has come in

1770
01:34:40,080 --> 01:34:43,080
Speaker 1: today Here on one Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health,

1771
01:34:43,080 --> 01:35:02,200
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. At a Steve Tasker who has

1772
01:35:02,240 --> 01:35:04,560
Speaker 1: been all over the field, kind of unique, he was

1773
01:35:04,640 --> 01:35:10,439
Speaker 1: kind of a dual role player for Steve a blimp.

1774
01:35:11,240 --> 01:35:14,360
Speaker 1: We're not even in the scredit fear of normalcy. Here

1775
01:35:16,920 --> 01:35:19,800
Speaker 1: our number three here on a Friday, tuning you up

1776
01:35:19,840 --> 01:35:24,960
Speaker 1: for the weekend, and the obl Fan Friday mailbag is open,

1777
01:35:26,320 --> 01:35:30,920
Speaker 1: and we go to a question here from Adrianna who asks,

1778
01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:35,840
Speaker 1: with so many returning players, do you expect our offensive

1779
01:35:35,880 --> 01:35:38,960
Speaker 1: scheme and play calling to be mostly the same as

1780
01:35:39,120 --> 01:35:42,760
Speaker 1: last year? Now, we had an opportunity to listen to

1781
01:35:42,880 --> 01:35:47,920
Speaker 1: Brian Dable address the media earlier this week, and my

1782
01:35:48,080 --> 01:35:51,880
Speaker 1: answer to that would be, obviously, the things that were

1783
01:35:51,920 --> 01:35:55,280
Speaker 1: wildly successful last year they will do to a great degree.

1784
01:35:56,240 --> 01:36:00,360
Speaker 1: But I would anticipate. Let me think, think, if I

1785
01:36:00,360 --> 01:36:04,040
Speaker 1: can properly gage a percentage, I would say ten to

1786
01:36:04,200 --> 01:36:11,000
Speaker 1: fifteen percent of some of the elements of Buffalo's scheme

1787
01:36:11,880 --> 01:36:14,720
Speaker 1: will be slightly different from that of last year. And

1788
01:36:14,760 --> 01:36:19,880
Speaker 1: the reason why is I think Brian Dabel. His philosophy

1789
01:36:19,920 --> 01:36:23,880
Speaker 1: and his nature, quite frankly, is to be constantly evolving

1790
01:36:23,960 --> 01:36:27,320
Speaker 1: and staying a step ahead of defenses. Yeah, I don't

1791
01:36:27,320 --> 01:36:29,639
Speaker 1: think there's there'll be some things you reckon. I mean,

1792
01:36:29,640 --> 01:36:31,400
Speaker 1: it's football, after all, it's going to look the same,

1793
01:36:31,400 --> 01:36:34,160
Speaker 1: but they're gonna be different. It'll all be. It's gonna evolve.

1794
01:36:34,240 --> 01:36:37,160
Speaker 1: They got different players, They're gonna have different strengths and weaknesses.

1795
01:36:37,160 --> 01:36:38,840
Speaker 1: That have guys that have worked on themselves in the

1796
01:36:38,840 --> 01:36:41,080
Speaker 1: office season. They'll have guys who emerged during training camp

1797
01:36:41,120 --> 01:36:43,680
Speaker 1: and they say, hey, listen, we didn't do this last year.

1798
01:36:43,720 --> 01:36:45,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna use this guy a lot more,

1799
01:36:45,920 --> 01:36:48,800
Speaker 1: and they're not gonna be ready for it. We talked

1800
01:36:48,800 --> 01:36:51,200
Speaker 1: a lot of last year about how to teams go forward.

1801
01:36:51,280 --> 01:36:52,840
Speaker 1: If they're gonna go man to man, how are they

1802
01:36:52,840 --> 01:36:54,840
Speaker 1: gonna go four deep? If you go four wide, do

1803
01:36:54,960 --> 01:36:57,120
Speaker 1: they have four guys that can cover our four guys?

1804
01:36:57,520 --> 01:37:00,599
Speaker 1: And they go where's the where's their weak link? Find

1805
01:37:00,640 --> 01:37:05,080
Speaker 1: him and exploit him. That's going to happen again. But

1806
01:37:05,160 --> 01:37:06,720
Speaker 1: it's also going to be like, well, now they get

1807
01:37:06,920 --> 01:37:08,720
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do if they've got this tight end,

1808
01:37:08,720 --> 01:37:11,559
Speaker 1: and you've got to, you know, a sloppy matchup on

1809
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:16,000
Speaker 1: the defense there or the running backs. So I think

1810
01:37:15,760 --> 01:37:18,639
Speaker 1: it's gonna be different. It will still look like football,

1811
01:37:18,920 --> 01:37:21,559
Speaker 1: but the play selection and the way they deploy it's

1812
01:37:21,600 --> 01:37:23,479
Speaker 1: going to be different. They're gonna have to evolve. Teams

1813
01:37:23,479 --> 01:37:25,800
Speaker 1: will catch up with you. That's all there is to it.

1814
01:37:26,160 --> 01:37:29,479
Speaker 1: So things you did last year are known commodities and

1815
01:37:29,520 --> 01:37:31,559
Speaker 1: they're going to be ready for them. Just to give

1816
01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:33,840
Speaker 1: you a sense on what Brian Dable is thinking, here

1817
01:37:33,920 --> 01:37:37,439
Speaker 1: is what he said on Tuesday. He said, I'll go

1818
01:37:37,520 --> 01:37:40,759
Speaker 1: back and we look at everything as a coaching staff

1819
01:37:41,120 --> 01:37:45,160
Speaker 1: February March, the time the players are off, we study ourselves,

1820
01:37:45,479 --> 01:37:48,880
Speaker 1: we study other teams. We add new concepts, we tweak

1821
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:51,840
Speaker 1: old concepts, maybe we take out some stuff that we

1822
01:37:51,880 --> 01:37:56,439
Speaker 1: didn't like. That's a process as it goes into training camp,

1823
01:37:56,520 --> 01:37:58,759
Speaker 1: more so with the running game and seeing how effective

1824
01:37:58,800 --> 01:38:00,759
Speaker 1: those are, and even the first few weeks of the season,

1825
01:38:01,080 --> 01:38:03,479
Speaker 1: you really don't know exactly what you are until you

1826
01:38:03,520 --> 01:38:06,959
Speaker 1: get going there. We're going to constantly try to improve

1827
01:38:07,120 --> 01:38:12,160
Speaker 1: in every area, run game included. So and you think

1828
01:38:12,160 --> 01:38:15,680
Speaker 1: about an addition like Emmanuel Sanders, that's going to diversify

1829
01:38:15,720 --> 01:38:18,240
Speaker 1: the offense right off the bat because if the skill

1830
01:38:18,280 --> 01:38:22,320
Speaker 1: set that he's bringing to the table, Matt Breeda is

1831
01:38:22,360 --> 01:38:26,320
Speaker 1: going to change the dynamics and maybe some concepts of

1832
01:38:26,400 --> 01:38:28,920
Speaker 1: the run game because he brings four three eight speed

1833
01:38:28,920 --> 01:38:33,040
Speaker 1: to the table. So, yes, there will be changes. Yes,

1834
01:38:33,200 --> 01:38:36,000
Speaker 1: it will look different, it will not look exactly the

1835
01:38:36,040 --> 01:38:39,160
Speaker 1: same as last year. But that's a good question, Adriana

1836
01:38:39,400 --> 01:38:43,840
Speaker 1: mac not Max, sorry, Bernie says. Is there any publication

1837
01:38:43,960 --> 01:38:46,920
Speaker 1: or website that's known for evaluating the depth of a

1838
01:38:46,960 --> 01:38:49,960
Speaker 1: team's roster and ranking how the teams stack up in

1839
01:38:50,080 --> 01:38:52,799
Speaker 1: terms of depth. I assume it's part of power rankings,

1840
01:38:52,800 --> 01:38:55,759
Speaker 1: but most power rankings include other things like strength of schedule, coaching,

1841
01:38:55,800 --> 01:39:01,800
Speaker 1: scheme fit, etc. Not to my knowledge, anybody really examine

1842
01:39:01,840 --> 01:39:07,960
Speaker 1: and rank the depth of NFL rosters per se. It's

1843
01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:13,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of a subjective subjective true evaluation. Um

1844
01:39:13,960 --> 01:39:17,160
Speaker 1: does this? For instance, You've got two teams and their

1845
01:39:17,200 --> 01:39:19,920
Speaker 1: backup guards have the exact number of years in the league,

1846
01:39:19,960 --> 01:39:21,600
Speaker 1: and these you know, and and pretty close to the

1847
01:39:21,640 --> 01:39:25,280
Speaker 1: same number of starts. How do you how do you

1848
01:39:24,880 --> 01:39:30,080
Speaker 1: subjectively differentiate between those two? It's it's really hard. I don't.

1849
01:39:30,120 --> 01:39:32,240
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know if there's a website like

1850
01:39:32,280 --> 01:39:34,960
Speaker 1: that strictly on day. I don't believe there is. I've

1851
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:38,960
Speaker 1: seen some of the national sites rank position groups. We

1852
01:39:39,080 --> 01:39:42,880
Speaker 1: just saw that recently. Actually, we had um Ben Lindsay

1853
01:39:42,960 --> 01:39:46,040
Speaker 1: from Pro Football Focus on this week and he had

1854
01:39:46,120 --> 01:39:48,400
Speaker 1: ranked the secondaries and he had the Bill secondary in

1855
01:39:48,439 --> 01:39:53,040
Speaker 1: the top five. But as far as entire rosters, I don't.

1856
01:39:53,080 --> 01:39:57,360
Speaker 1: I don't believe anybody really does that U to any

1857
01:39:57,360 --> 01:40:05,080
Speaker 1: great degree, um Bert Bills fan asks. Living out in Arizona,

1858
01:40:05,080 --> 01:40:06,599
Speaker 1: I don't get to see the Bills play as much,

1859
01:40:06,600 --> 01:40:08,880
Speaker 1: but I got tickets for the home game against Washington.

1860
01:40:09,400 --> 01:40:11,679
Speaker 1: Talking to my wife about beef on weck and looking

1861
01:40:11,680 --> 01:40:14,360
Speaker 1: for some of the best places to bring her when

1862
01:40:14,400 --> 01:40:18,400
Speaker 1: we come into town. Help please and go Bills beef

1863
01:40:18,439 --> 01:40:23,600
Speaker 1: on wet places, Steve, that's a new one. Um. I

1864
01:40:23,640 --> 01:40:25,439
Speaker 1: don't know if you can open a restaurant in Buffalo

1865
01:40:25,520 --> 01:40:27,320
Speaker 1: not have beef on Yeah, you know what I mean.

1866
01:40:27,360 --> 01:40:30,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think we have an official beef

1867
01:40:30,400 --> 01:40:32,720
Speaker 1: on wet sponsor, do we. Yeah, don't look at me, Bro,

1868
01:40:32,800 --> 01:40:36,840
Speaker 1: I'm not touching it. Yeah, I'm not touching it either. Um. Yes,

1869
01:40:37,040 --> 01:40:42,479
Speaker 1: ask ask your friends and neighbors in town, or just

1870
01:40:42,520 --> 01:40:45,040
Speaker 1: do a Google search best beef on weck in Buffalo

1871
01:40:45,080 --> 01:40:46,920
Speaker 1: and you'll get a bunch of things. You'll get a

1872
01:40:46,920 --> 01:40:48,720
Speaker 1: couple of hits. We gotta stay out of hot water here,

1873
01:40:48,760 --> 01:40:50,360
Speaker 1: So I hope, I don't know. I don't know if

1874
01:40:50,360 --> 01:40:53,800
Speaker 1: they have a beef on sponsor. Uh. They do have

1875
01:40:53,840 --> 01:40:56,439
Speaker 1: a deal with Duff Swings. So yeah, and you know

1876
01:40:56,520 --> 01:41:00,559
Speaker 1: the pizza logs and all that kind of head Lightly

1877
01:41:00,560 --> 01:41:05,720
Speaker 1: over that, RJ. Miles asks, with Milano and Edmonds solidified

1878
01:41:05,720 --> 01:41:08,280
Speaker 1: as starters, who do you think takes the linebacker spot

1879
01:41:08,760 --> 01:41:11,479
Speaker 1: opposite Milano in a base defense? He says, I like

1880
01:41:11,600 --> 01:41:15,519
Speaker 1: Tyrrell Adams, smaller than Kline but has more speed, which

1881
01:41:15,600 --> 01:41:19,759
Speaker 1: was at times AJ's weakness last year. Yeah, Aj started

1882
01:41:19,760 --> 01:41:21,800
Speaker 1: to play a little better. The longer Milano stayed out,

1883
01:41:21,840 --> 01:41:24,439
Speaker 1: the more the defense evolved around AJ. They started giving

1884
01:41:24,479 --> 01:41:29,920
Speaker 1: Aj some different responsibilities and making a role for Aj

1885
01:41:30,200 --> 01:41:32,280
Speaker 1: rather than tailor it to his skills, rather than have

1886
01:41:32,439 --> 01:41:34,120
Speaker 1: him fill in for Milano and ask him to do

1887
01:41:34,120 --> 01:41:36,559
Speaker 1: what Milano did. They stopped doing that after a week

1888
01:41:36,640 --> 01:41:39,280
Speaker 1: or two, so he got better. But yes, you're right,

1889
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:43,479
Speaker 1: he's not he's not one of those athletes on the

1890
01:41:43,520 --> 01:41:45,759
Speaker 1: field that's just gonna be able to run with anybody

1891
01:41:45,760 --> 01:41:47,200
Speaker 1: and kind of you can kind of plug him in

1892
01:41:47,240 --> 01:41:51,960
Speaker 1: anywhere as a defensive backer or an undersized linebacker. But yeah,

1893
01:41:52,040 --> 01:41:54,439
Speaker 1: I don't know who it's going to be. Tyrell Dodson's

1894
01:41:54,439 --> 01:41:56,559
Speaker 1: an option. Dodson was a guy that hit the field

1895
01:41:56,600 --> 01:42:00,840
Speaker 1: a little bit last year. He's athletic, Yeah, cover some ground.

1896
01:42:02,080 --> 01:42:04,320
Speaker 1: That's about the other than that. I think it's probably

1897
01:42:04,320 --> 01:42:08,680
Speaker 1: gonna be one of the safeties, right Well, yeah, it

1898
01:42:08,680 --> 01:42:11,320
Speaker 1: could be a hybrid type. It could be a hybrid

1899
01:42:11,320 --> 01:42:13,639
Speaker 1: type whether you know, and somebody like Saran Neil or

1900
01:42:14,240 --> 01:42:16,639
Speaker 1: he played. He played quite a bit last year. He

1901
01:42:16,680 --> 01:42:20,360
Speaker 1: took some raps. But well, Dean marlow actually got right,

1902
01:42:21,360 --> 01:42:23,280
Speaker 1: that's the name I was looking for. But Dean Marlowe

1903
01:42:23,360 --> 01:42:26,400
Speaker 1: is he's in Detroit now. Yeah, so it'll it'll be

1904
01:42:26,400 --> 01:42:29,280
Speaker 1: a new face. But I I'm kind of think it's

1905
01:42:29,280 --> 01:42:33,960
Speaker 1: gonna be a safety, not a linebacker type. Yeah, because

1906
01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:37,639
Speaker 1: they they played nickel ninety one of their defensive snaps

1907
01:42:37,680 --> 01:42:40,439
Speaker 1: last year. They were rarely in base five. Yeah, five

1908
01:42:40,520 --> 01:42:43,559
Speaker 1: DBS is the base defense now, I mean, that's that's

1909
01:42:43,600 --> 01:42:47,519
Speaker 1: your go to yeah so, but yeah, I think Tyrell

1910
01:42:47,600 --> 01:42:51,720
Speaker 1: Dodson's an option. I think Tyrell Adams could be an option.

1911
01:42:51,760 --> 01:42:53,960
Speaker 1: I gotta see more of him in pads before I'm

1912
01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:57,200
Speaker 1: ready to pass judgment on him with him being a

1913
01:42:57,200 --> 01:43:01,559
Speaker 1: new arrival. Uh. Stephco Bills asks, do you either of

1914
01:43:01,600 --> 01:43:05,479
Speaker 1: you consider yak yards after catch to be an important

1915
01:43:05,520 --> 01:43:08,720
Speaker 1: stat Sitting next to a Patriots fan at work, he

1916
01:43:08,760 --> 01:43:11,439
Speaker 1: would go on and on about how great Brady's receivers

1917
01:43:11,439 --> 01:43:14,000
Speaker 1: with yak which is why they won so many games.

1918
01:43:14,080 --> 01:43:17,600
Speaker 1: Yet I never hear it mentioned in Buffalo. Well, I

1919
01:43:17,640 --> 01:43:19,720
Speaker 1: think you have a different quarterback here than the one

1920
01:43:19,760 --> 01:43:21,400
Speaker 1: that they had in New England for the longest time

1921
01:43:21,439 --> 01:43:24,160
Speaker 1: in Brady. Because Brady in the pass game was all

1922
01:43:24,200 --> 01:43:28,519
Speaker 1: about short, high percentage completions. His ball location was good

1923
01:43:28,600 --> 01:43:31,400
Speaker 1: enough where his receivers could get yards after the catch,

1924
01:43:31,960 --> 01:43:34,320
Speaker 1: and that's how they moved the sticks very often. I mean,

1925
01:43:34,960 --> 01:43:38,000
Speaker 1: believe me, the New England Patriots teams, We're never going

1926
01:43:38,040 --> 01:43:43,439
Speaker 1: to lead the league in yards per attempt or forty

1927
01:43:43,479 --> 01:43:46,200
Speaker 1: plus yard touchdowns. A lot of they just get to

1928
01:43:46,200 --> 01:43:48,040
Speaker 1: the red zone and then finished drives on it. The

1929
01:43:48,040 --> 01:43:50,360
Speaker 1: only time they really did that was in the O

1930
01:43:50,479 --> 01:43:52,719
Speaker 1: eight season when they went sixteen and Randy Bakers season

1931
01:43:52,720 --> 01:43:57,599
Speaker 1: with Randy Moss, that guy was special. And yeah, but yeah,

1932
01:43:57,680 --> 01:44:01,320
Speaker 1: ya YAK is a thing, no question about it. It's

1933
01:44:01,479 --> 01:44:07,439
Speaker 1: hard to give your you can you give your quarterback

1934
01:44:07,439 --> 01:44:09,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of credit for it for hitting guys

1935
01:44:09,080 --> 01:44:10,800
Speaker 1: in stride, getting them on the run and getting them

1936
01:44:10,800 --> 01:44:12,960
Speaker 1: getting put them in a place where you know they

1937
01:44:12,960 --> 01:44:14,720
Speaker 1: can turn and make them the most happen. A lot

1938
01:44:14,720 --> 01:44:17,599
Speaker 1: of that happened. You never see. You don't see too

1939
01:44:17,720 --> 01:44:20,479
Speaker 1: much yak when you've got guys running button hooks where

1940
01:44:20,479 --> 01:44:22,360
Speaker 1: the guy goes out, stops in the zone, turns around,

1941
01:44:22,400 --> 01:44:25,000
Speaker 1: catches the ball because he's standing still. When you see

1942
01:44:25,080 --> 01:44:27,040
Speaker 1: YAK is when you catch a guy on the run

1943
01:44:27,479 --> 01:44:29,680
Speaker 1: like you did with Steph Diggs in the new eight

1944
01:44:29,760 --> 01:44:31,840
Speaker 1: second New England game on Monday Night last year, where

1945
01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:34,080
Speaker 1: he caught that crossing route, turned up the field and

1946
01:44:34,200 --> 01:44:37,679
Speaker 1: turned it into a touchdown short pass, long gain. That's YAK.

1947
01:44:38,200 --> 01:44:40,759
Speaker 1: And some quarterbacks are good at doing it. Some offenses

1948
01:44:40,760 --> 01:44:43,080
Speaker 1: are better designed for it, and certainly there are concepts

1949
01:44:43,080 --> 01:44:47,920
Speaker 1: that are designed exactly to do that. And yeah, the

1950
01:44:47,920 --> 01:44:49,720
Speaker 1: guy can the New England Patriot guy can say what

1951
01:44:49,760 --> 01:44:52,120
Speaker 1: he wants, but you know, there wasn't too much of

1952
01:44:52,120 --> 01:44:57,000
Speaker 1: that last year and in New England. Yeah, so, I

1953
01:44:57,000 --> 01:44:59,920
Speaker 1: mean it's possible that the Bills could diversify their offense

1954
01:45:00,120 --> 01:45:02,479
Speaker 1: to lead to more yards after the catch. I can,

1955
01:45:02,479 --> 01:45:04,080
Speaker 1: when I get a second, I can look it up

1956
01:45:04,280 --> 01:45:06,720
Speaker 1: where the Bills ranked in yards after catch last year.

1957
01:45:07,200 --> 01:45:09,880
Speaker 1: I don't know that they were in the top ten

1958
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:12,920
Speaker 1: last year. I don't believe they were. But part of

1959
01:45:12,920 --> 01:45:14,880
Speaker 1: that is because Josh can chuck it down the field.

1960
01:45:14,920 --> 01:45:16,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he can throw deep out patterns where guys

1961
01:45:16,960 --> 01:45:20,000
Speaker 1: are catching the ball twenty yards downfield and then going

1962
01:45:20,040 --> 01:45:22,920
Speaker 1: out of bounds. So the yard after catch opportunity just

1963
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:25,840
Speaker 1: isn't there. And we've heard Josh talk about, you know,

1964
01:45:25,960 --> 01:45:28,439
Speaker 1: being more precise on some of those in cutting routes.

1965
01:45:28,800 --> 01:45:31,200
Speaker 1: If he's more precise with his ball location, guys are

1966
01:45:31,200 --> 01:45:32,720
Speaker 1: catching it on the run, and then maybe there is

1967
01:45:32,760 --> 01:45:35,800
Speaker 1: opportunity for more yards after catch this year than maybe

1968
01:45:35,880 --> 01:45:38,559
Speaker 1: last year or the year prior. So something to keep

1969
01:45:38,560 --> 01:45:40,559
Speaker 1: an eye on, for sure. Not a bad question at all.

1970
01:45:40,560 --> 01:45:43,880
Speaker 1: ELI asks, what if the Bills don't meet the expectation

1971
01:45:43,960 --> 01:45:47,439
Speaker 1: for the season. We are all expecting thirteen fourteen fifteen wins.

1972
01:45:47,479 --> 01:45:49,360
Speaker 1: But what if the amount is way lower than that

1973
01:45:49,360 --> 01:45:51,439
Speaker 1: because the other team's got better, even though I don't

1974
01:45:51,439 --> 01:45:55,599
Speaker 1: expect that. But what if Eli has turned into chicken

1975
01:45:55,680 --> 01:45:58,920
Speaker 1: little Steve, the sky is falling? Wow. All you can

1976
01:45:59,000 --> 01:46:02,400
Speaker 1: say is, hey, take it like a Bill's fan, to

1977
01:46:02,439 --> 01:46:07,200
Speaker 1: move on, get ready for next year. If that happens, yeah,

1978
01:46:07,240 --> 01:46:10,960
Speaker 1: it'll be bitterly disappointing, but you'll but like every year,

1979
01:46:11,200 --> 01:46:14,519
Speaker 1: the problems will be self evident, and expect the team

1980
01:46:14,560 --> 01:46:19,400
Speaker 1: to go out and fix them. You know. Yeah, if

1981
01:46:19,520 --> 01:46:22,559
Speaker 1: if it happens, it'll be sad. It will be and

1982
01:46:23,080 --> 01:46:25,679
Speaker 1: you know, nothing is guaranteed. I think we all know that.

1983
01:46:28,520 --> 01:46:31,439
Speaker 1: You know, injuries can rob a very promise, you know,

1984
01:46:31,479 --> 01:46:35,280
Speaker 1: a very promising team of you know, making a deep

1985
01:46:35,360 --> 01:46:39,559
Speaker 1: run in the playoffs. We've seen it happen. Look at

1986
01:46:39,560 --> 01:46:41,680
Speaker 1: what San Francisco goes to the super Bowl. The next

1987
01:46:41,760 --> 01:46:45,000
Speaker 1: year they come back, they're decimated by injuries. They don't

1988
01:46:45,040 --> 01:46:49,760
Speaker 1: even make the playoffs. It can happen anywhere, right at

1989
01:46:49,800 --> 01:46:52,760
Speaker 1: any time. This is a collision sport. It's not a

1990
01:46:52,800 --> 01:46:57,240
Speaker 1: contact sport. It's a collision spin. It's also a league

1991
01:46:57,240 --> 01:47:01,080
Speaker 1: full of parody, and you usually have multiple teams who

1992
01:47:01,120 --> 01:47:04,120
Speaker 1: were not in the playoffs from the year before get in,

1993
01:47:04,240 --> 01:47:06,599
Speaker 1: and teams that went deep in the playoffs or leavest

1994
01:47:06,600 --> 01:47:09,680
Speaker 1: even one a playoff game not make the playoffs the

1995
01:47:09,760 --> 01:47:13,519
Speaker 1: next year. And historically it happens quite often that one

1996
01:47:13,560 --> 01:47:15,680
Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl teams don't get into the playoffs

1997
01:47:15,720 --> 01:47:18,240
Speaker 1: the next year, which is exactly what happened last year

1998
01:47:18,280 --> 01:47:21,920
Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers. It's hard to do. And

1999
01:47:24,040 --> 01:47:26,519
Speaker 1: you know, just because you have a good year one

2000
01:47:26,640 --> 01:47:29,960
Speaker 1: here does not mean anything carries over. You got to

2001
01:47:30,000 --> 01:47:32,360
Speaker 1: turn the page and bounce back and start from scratch.

2002
01:47:32,400 --> 01:47:35,160
Speaker 1: And that's why it's and it was such a crusher

2003
01:47:35,200 --> 01:47:36,800
Speaker 1: for the teams. I was on, you know, you lose

2004
01:47:36,840 --> 01:47:39,840
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl and you're you get all the way

2005
01:47:39,880 --> 01:47:41,240
Speaker 1: there and then all of a sudden, you look around,

2006
01:47:41,280 --> 01:47:45,440
Speaker 1: you're at the bottom of the mountain in again. Yeah,

2007
01:47:45,560 --> 01:47:47,799
Speaker 1: you're gonna make the argument that you guys played almost

2008
01:47:47,800 --> 01:47:53,080
Speaker 1: five seasons in four no question, there's three playoff games,

2009
01:47:53,080 --> 01:47:54,880
Speaker 1: twelve games. Well, there were a couple of games, couple

2010
01:47:54,880 --> 01:47:58,559
Speaker 1: of seasons when we had buys, Yeah, we had. And

2011
01:47:58,600 --> 01:48:00,360
Speaker 1: there were a couple of seasons too were like I said,

2012
01:48:00,400 --> 01:48:02,120
Speaker 1: we played like we played a game in London, we

2013
01:48:02,120 --> 01:48:04,800
Speaker 1: played a game in Berlin, and back then it was

2014
01:48:05,320 --> 01:48:07,519
Speaker 1: we had played in the we played in the nineteen

2015
01:48:07,560 --> 01:48:14,519
Speaker 1: eighty nine Hall of Fame Game. So there were getting

2016
01:48:14,520 --> 01:48:20,479
Speaker 1: times when we had five preseason games sixteen regular season games.

2017
01:48:21,400 --> 01:48:23,679
Speaker 1: I think it happened once that we had three playoff

2018
01:48:23,720 --> 01:48:25,960
Speaker 1: games and got to the Super Bowl. So you're playing

2019
01:48:25,960 --> 01:48:29,840
Speaker 1: like twenty five games. Yeah, it's yeah, it's awa. Yeah,

2020
01:48:30,160 --> 01:48:34,400
Speaker 1: it goes fast. Nick asks, is it possible that the

2021
01:48:34,520 --> 01:48:38,320
Speaker 1: quote unquote problem with our run game is a non issue.

2022
01:48:38,800 --> 01:48:40,920
Speaker 1: I can think of only three times last year when

2023
01:48:40,920 --> 01:48:43,040
Speaker 1: we made a consistent and considered effort to run the

2024
01:48:43,040 --> 01:48:45,920
Speaker 1: ball the first Pats game, the Chargers game, and the

2025
01:48:46,040 --> 01:48:47,960
Speaker 1: end of the Steelers game, and each time we ran great.

2026
01:48:49,720 --> 01:48:52,280
Speaker 1: I think they will try to be better in the

2027
01:48:52,400 --> 01:48:54,720
Speaker 1: run game, as Brandon being outlined at the end of

2028
01:48:54,760 --> 01:48:56,439
Speaker 1: last season, he said, we don't need to run it more,

2029
01:48:56,560 --> 01:48:59,080
Speaker 1: we just need to run it more effectively. And I

2030
01:48:59,400 --> 01:49:01,759
Speaker 1: think they'll they'll work to make it a more effective

2031
01:49:01,800 --> 01:49:03,840
Speaker 1: running game with the pieces that they've added, both in

2032
01:49:03,880 --> 01:49:06,680
Speaker 1: the offensive backfield in Man Brita and up front on

2033
01:49:06,720 --> 01:49:13,760
Speaker 1: the offensive line, provided they can stay healthy. But is

2034
01:49:13,800 --> 01:49:17,000
Speaker 1: it a problem. I don't know if anybody called it. Well,

2035
01:49:17,280 --> 01:49:19,439
Speaker 1: I guess if it's not effective enough, it's a problem

2036
01:49:19,760 --> 01:49:22,080
Speaker 1: to some degree. Well, but it's not the identity of

2037
01:49:22,080 --> 01:49:24,680
Speaker 1: this offense in any way, shape or form. How good

2038
01:49:24,680 --> 01:49:25,960
Speaker 1: do you want to run? You just want to turn,

2039
01:49:26,400 --> 01:49:28,400
Speaker 1: turn around and hand it off all day. If you're

2040
01:49:28,439 --> 01:49:32,520
Speaker 1: winning games, you're gonna win games ten to seven, seventeen, fourteen,

2041
01:49:33,280 --> 01:49:39,040
Speaker 1: you know, twenty to seventeen. But the league's built to

2042
01:49:39,080 --> 01:49:42,799
Speaker 1: throw it. The team is built to have a passing offense.

2043
01:49:43,360 --> 01:49:45,000
Speaker 1: At the end of the season, they did not say

2044
01:49:45,040 --> 01:49:47,120
Speaker 1: they wanted to run it more. They said they wanted

2045
01:49:47,120 --> 01:49:49,639
Speaker 1: to run it better. And they got out to a

2046
01:49:49,640 --> 01:49:52,040
Speaker 1: ton of leads early in the season last year and

2047
01:49:52,080 --> 01:49:55,160
Speaker 1: struggle to put it away because NFL defenses are hard

2048
01:49:55,160 --> 01:49:58,040
Speaker 1: to run against. The old adage is run and stop

2049
01:49:58,080 --> 01:50:00,160
Speaker 1: the run is so true. So everybody that's where he

2050
01:50:00,240 --> 01:50:03,840
Speaker 1: starts stopping the run defensively, so they get pretty good

2051
01:50:03,880 --> 01:50:06,840
Speaker 1: at it so that you know when you get there.

2052
01:50:07,080 --> 01:50:09,400
Speaker 1: If when it does come time to close a game out,

2053
01:50:09,439 --> 01:50:12,920
Speaker 1: it's really hard to get done because the defenses who

2054
01:50:13,120 --> 01:50:15,160
Speaker 1: don't worry about the pass and they know you're trying

2055
01:50:15,160 --> 01:50:17,519
Speaker 1: to run the clock out, they get even it gets

2056
01:50:17,560 --> 01:50:21,720
Speaker 1: even more difficult to run the football. This offense last

2057
01:50:21,760 --> 01:50:23,799
Speaker 1: year threw the ball more on first down than anybody

2058
01:50:23,800 --> 01:50:26,120
Speaker 1: in the league. I would not expect that to change

2059
01:50:26,120 --> 01:50:27,960
Speaker 1: too awful much, So I still think they're probably a

2060
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:31,719
Speaker 1: top five team in that regard. This team's about Josh

2061
01:50:31,720 --> 01:50:34,960
Speaker 1: and the four wide receivers and Emmanuel Sanders, Steph Diggs,

2062
01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:38,559
Speaker 1: colebas League, Gabriel Davis and the guys that were backing

2063
01:50:38,600 --> 01:50:41,000
Speaker 1: them up, and the tight ends. The running game, to

2064
01:50:41,120 --> 01:50:44,479
Speaker 1: me is a compliment at best. They do it when

2065
01:50:44,479 --> 01:50:46,559
Speaker 1: they need to, when they think it's gonna work because

2066
01:50:46,560 --> 01:50:50,400
Speaker 1: the defense is bailing because of the passing game. So

2067
01:50:50,479 --> 01:50:54,759
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, the run game to me, was a non issue.

2068
01:50:54,840 --> 01:50:57,320
Speaker 1: Last year. They scored five hundred points. I do not

2069
01:50:57,560 --> 01:51:00,519
Speaker 1: care if they ran the ball good were bad. They

2070
01:51:00,520 --> 01:51:04,439
Speaker 1: scored five hundred points. That's good enough. Rusty asks, The

2071
01:51:04,560 --> 01:51:06,800
Speaker 1: d really struggled last year to stop the running free

2072
01:51:06,880 --> 01:51:10,240
Speaker 1: up linebackers without Starr in the lineup. If he decides

2073
01:51:10,280 --> 01:51:12,240
Speaker 1: to stay home again in twenty one, do the Bills

2074
01:51:12,240 --> 01:51:15,040
Speaker 1: standpad with Butler horrible Harry manning the nose, or do

2075
01:51:15,120 --> 01:51:18,280
Speaker 1: they look for another big body Short like Coan Short

2076
01:51:18,400 --> 01:51:20,960
Speaker 1: or who are some other options? First of all, as

2077
01:51:20,960 --> 01:51:24,160
Speaker 1: we were discussing on the show earlier, today, Stars trainers

2078
01:51:24,200 --> 01:51:26,519
Speaker 1: send it out videos on social media showing you how

2079
01:51:26,520 --> 01:51:28,400
Speaker 1: ready Stars getting for the season. So I think this

2080
01:51:28,520 --> 01:51:31,000
Speaker 1: is kind of a mood point. But yeah, Coan Short

2081
01:51:31,000 --> 01:51:32,920
Speaker 1: would be an option, although he's only played in five

2082
01:51:32,960 --> 01:51:36,519
Speaker 1: games each of the last two years. But my inkling

2083
01:51:36,600 --> 01:51:39,080
Speaker 1: is Stars getting ready to be here next week. As

2084
01:51:39,080 --> 01:51:41,400
Speaker 1: we can see by the latest training video. I mean

2085
01:51:41,439 --> 01:51:44,840
Speaker 1: he looks in shape, like ready to go, so and

2086
01:51:45,400 --> 01:51:47,880
Speaker 1: man not for you notice details and stuff. The guy's

2087
01:51:47,960 --> 01:51:51,559
Speaker 1: soaked in sweat. This isn't like something he did, you know.

2088
01:51:52,240 --> 01:51:54,800
Speaker 1: And there's no reason that. There's nothing that says if

2089
01:51:54,840 --> 01:51:57,479
Speaker 1: he's not planning on if he's planning on coming back,

2090
01:51:57,520 --> 01:51:59,880
Speaker 1: there's nothing or not planning on or retiring or whatever.

2091
01:52:00,280 --> 01:52:05,760
Speaker 1: You know. This is why would he do this? I

2092
01:52:05,800 --> 01:52:08,120
Speaker 1: think he's probably itching to come back and play football.

2093
01:52:09,160 --> 01:52:10,800
Speaker 1: Would I would venture to guess he missed it a

2094
01:52:10,840 --> 01:52:13,920
Speaker 1: little bit. So, particularly with the culture they've got here

2095
01:52:13,920 --> 01:52:15,400
Speaker 1: and how fun it is to be around the building

2096
01:52:15,400 --> 01:52:17,680
Speaker 1: and all the guys talk about how awesome it is

2097
01:52:17,720 --> 01:52:21,880
Speaker 1: to get back. Micah Hyde said he's these voluntary manias.

2098
01:52:22,080 --> 01:52:23,599
Speaker 1: This is where he wants to be. It's so it's

2099
01:52:23,600 --> 01:52:25,960
Speaker 1: a great group. It's fun to be here. And let's

2100
01:52:26,000 --> 01:52:28,200
Speaker 1: face it, these guys are in such good shape. They're

2101
01:52:28,240 --> 01:52:32,360
Speaker 1: not doing anything in shorts and helmets. That is, it's

2102
01:52:32,520 --> 01:52:35,320
Speaker 1: easier than what they've been doing away from the facility.

2103
01:52:35,560 --> 01:52:38,160
Speaker 1: Speaking of details in this video, take a look at

2104
01:52:38,200 --> 01:52:40,519
Speaker 1: the size of Star's feet. I know it's look, I've

2105
01:52:40,560 --> 01:52:45,679
Speaker 1: never really those things are canoes. I mean, he's got

2106
01:52:45,680 --> 01:52:48,840
Speaker 1: to be like a size twelve thirteen maybe bigger. I

2107
01:52:48,840 --> 01:52:53,240
Speaker 1: mean those he's got some clodhoppers. Man, look at those things.

2108
01:52:53,280 --> 01:52:57,759
Speaker 1: Those things are boats down here. I'm gonna guess size fourteen.

2109
01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:02,240
Speaker 1: That's gonna be my guess find out. But yeah, I

2110
01:53:02,280 --> 01:53:04,160
Speaker 1: fully expect him to be here next week. So I

2111
01:53:04,160 --> 01:53:07,439
Speaker 1: think it's a mood point. Tiffany asks, now that the

2112
01:53:07,520 --> 01:53:10,240
Speaker 1: contract has expired with Saint John Fisher, do you think

2113
01:53:10,280 --> 01:53:13,600
Speaker 1: training camp will be held at the stadium moving forward.

2114
01:53:16,000 --> 01:53:18,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to go on what Brandon Being and Sean

2115
01:53:18,200 --> 01:53:20,320
Speaker 1: McDermott have said, and they've said it enough to the

2116
01:53:20,320 --> 01:53:22,960
Speaker 1: point where I genuinely believe they are not just paying

2117
01:53:23,000 --> 01:53:26,840
Speaker 1: it lip service. They find value in going away to

2118
01:53:27,160 --> 01:53:32,080
Speaker 1: training camp. You get to team build twenty four hours

2119
01:53:32,080 --> 01:53:35,920
Speaker 1: a day, six days a week for three weeks, and

2120
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:39,360
Speaker 1: they with as much of an emphasis that they put

2121
01:53:39,360 --> 01:53:42,800
Speaker 1: on culture here, they value that knowing how much the

2122
01:53:42,880 --> 01:53:45,519
Speaker 1: roster turns over from year to year, and so I

2123
01:53:45,560 --> 01:53:47,880
Speaker 1: think they feel that they need that as part of

2124
01:53:47,880 --> 01:53:51,120
Speaker 1: their culture build each and every year to maintain what

2125
01:53:51,160 --> 01:53:53,439
Speaker 1: they have constructed here. I don't think they take it

2126
01:53:53,520 --> 01:53:57,960
Speaker 1: lightly at all. I think they really really like getting

2127
01:53:58,000 --> 01:54:01,960
Speaker 1: away for training camp and it sound old school and

2128
01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:03,519
Speaker 1: for a team that kind of is out on the

2129
01:54:03,520 --> 01:54:06,120
Speaker 1: forefront of forward thinking in the league and you know

2130
01:54:06,160 --> 01:54:08,640
Speaker 1: all the stuff. I think this old school kind of

2131
01:54:08,680 --> 01:54:12,960
Speaker 1: team building atmosphere is something they really believe in. And

2132
01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:16,439
Speaker 1: I think Sean McDermott has proven himself to be an

2133
01:54:16,439 --> 01:54:24,519
Speaker 1: excellent team builder, an excellent excellent relationship builder, culture changer builder,

2134
01:54:25,000 --> 01:54:29,559
Speaker 1: and I think training camp expedites all of those things.

2135
01:54:30,120 --> 01:54:34,960
Speaker 1: I think getting away and being away forces the team

2136
01:54:36,320 --> 01:54:41,520
Speaker 1: just physically forces the team to hang out together and

2137
01:54:41,640 --> 01:54:45,320
Speaker 1: to be together all the time, and to force conversations

2138
01:54:45,320 --> 01:54:48,800
Speaker 1: that wouldn't normally take place because there's nobody else around

2139
01:54:48,800 --> 01:54:50,280
Speaker 1: to talk to. You don't go home and talk to

2140
01:54:50,320 --> 01:54:52,760
Speaker 1: your wife and your kids. You don't leave the facility

2141
01:54:52,760 --> 01:54:54,880
Speaker 1: and take them out to dinner. You don't do anything

2142
01:54:54,880 --> 01:54:59,080
Speaker 1: outside the walls of the of the practice or meetings

2143
01:54:59,120 --> 01:55:01,880
Speaker 1: or anything that's not with one of your teammates. That

2144
01:55:01,960 --> 01:55:04,560
Speaker 1: goes a long way towards strengthening the relationships you have

2145
01:55:04,600 --> 01:55:07,200
Speaker 1: in the locker room. And when you get out on

2146
01:55:07,240 --> 01:55:11,760
Speaker 1: the field, you're playing with and around and with a

2147
01:55:11,800 --> 01:55:13,520
Speaker 1: bunch of guys that you kind of know really well,

2148
01:55:13,560 --> 01:55:16,720
Speaker 1: that you know that you kind of earned your respect

2149
01:55:16,720 --> 01:55:19,320
Speaker 1: and friendship, and that goes a long way in a

2150
01:55:19,360 --> 01:55:26,400
Speaker 1: team atmosphere. That's it's a little bit esoteric and that

2151
01:55:26,560 --> 01:55:30,960
Speaker 1: it's hard to quantify, but it's a real thing. It's

2152
01:55:30,960 --> 01:55:35,360
Speaker 1: a real thing, and it becomes a collective consciousness when

2153
01:55:35,400 --> 01:55:39,280
Speaker 1: you're on a football field. It's like that. It's like

2154
01:55:39,320 --> 01:55:42,800
Speaker 1: that word everybody uses momentum in a game. A lot

2155
01:55:42,840 --> 01:55:45,720
Speaker 1: of people kind of don't get it. And it's not

2156
01:55:45,760 --> 01:55:47,600
Speaker 1: just when things all of a sudden are going your way.

2157
01:55:47,920 --> 01:55:51,280
Speaker 1: It's something different than that. And what it is is

2158
01:55:51,320 --> 01:55:54,120
Speaker 1: a shared consciousness where all of the guys on your

2159
01:55:54,160 --> 01:55:57,960
Speaker 1: group and your team, all of a sudden, when somebody

2160
01:55:58,000 --> 01:56:01,040
Speaker 1: makes a play, it affects you all the exact same way,

2161
01:56:02,720 --> 01:56:08,040
Speaker 1: so that every action after that, a play, a statement,

2162
01:56:08,880 --> 01:56:12,520
Speaker 1: whatever happens after that is affected by that. What happened,

2163
01:56:12,520 --> 01:56:15,880
Speaker 1: that momentum grab will call it that momentum grabber. And

2164
01:56:17,640 --> 01:56:22,000
Speaker 1: a collective consciousness comes about where everybody is elevated in

2165
01:56:22,040 --> 01:56:24,200
Speaker 1: the exact same way at the exact same time in

2166
01:56:24,320 --> 01:56:28,000
Speaker 1: each of their respective roles. That's what momentum is. And

2167
01:56:28,080 --> 01:56:33,200
Speaker 1: the other team feels it too, and that's you can't

2168
01:56:33,960 --> 01:56:38,480
Speaker 1: quantify it. You can't. It's not tangible at all, but

2169
01:56:38,520 --> 01:56:40,600
Speaker 1: it is a real thing. It is a real thing.

2170
01:56:40,680 --> 01:56:43,640
Speaker 1: Collective consciousness is a real thing, particularly with guys who

2171
01:56:43,720 --> 01:56:46,400
Speaker 1: know each other extremely well. And that's what training camp

2172
01:56:46,480 --> 01:56:49,640
Speaker 1: is all about. Right now. Brandon did say when he

2173
01:56:49,720 --> 01:56:52,320
Speaker 1: was asked about it, you know, the future of training Camp.

2174
01:56:52,720 --> 01:56:55,080
Speaker 1: He left it in the hands of Kim Pogoula, who

2175
01:56:55,120 --> 01:56:58,960
Speaker 1: will be presumably the chief negotiator in terms of where

2176
01:56:59,080 --> 01:57:02,400
Speaker 1: training camp from here. Now that the contract is in

2177
01:57:02,480 --> 01:57:07,640
Speaker 1: fact expired with Saint John Fishers, so when and where

2178
01:57:07,720 --> 01:57:10,520
Speaker 1: she decides to get to work on that remains to

2179
01:57:10,560 --> 01:57:15,680
Speaker 1: be seen. But knowing what Brandon and Sean's preferences are

2180
01:57:16,120 --> 01:57:18,360
Speaker 1: with how training camp should be conducted and where it

2181
01:57:18,360 --> 01:57:22,400
Speaker 1: should happen. You know, we're just gonna have to wait

2182
01:57:22,440 --> 01:57:26,760
Speaker 1: and see what preferences are honored and in what way

2183
01:57:27,400 --> 01:57:30,160
Speaker 1: to make training camp what Sean McDermott and Brandon being

2184
01:57:30,240 --> 01:57:33,040
Speaker 1: would like it to be for their players and for

2185
01:57:33,080 --> 01:57:37,520
Speaker 1: their team as a collective. We're just gonna have to

2186
01:57:37,560 --> 01:57:39,360
Speaker 1: wait and see. I mean, that's really where we're at.

2187
01:57:39,440 --> 01:57:44,760
Speaker 1: There's no indication and if we're going strictly again on

2188
01:57:44,880 --> 01:57:49,360
Speaker 1: what Sean and Brandon have said about the value they

2189
01:57:49,400 --> 01:57:51,720
Speaker 1: see and going away to training camp, I would tend

2190
01:57:51,720 --> 01:57:58,160
Speaker 1: to believe that that that's a favorable situation for camp

2191
01:57:58,200 --> 01:58:02,040
Speaker 1: continuing away from the one Build Drive facility going forward.

2192
01:58:02,600 --> 01:58:06,520
Speaker 1: How and when it comes to pass, we're just all

2193
01:58:06,520 --> 01:58:08,760
Speaker 1: going to sit and have to wait because we're not

2194
01:58:08,800 --> 01:58:11,280
Speaker 1: on those phone calls, we're not in those meetings, we're

2195
01:58:11,320 --> 01:58:14,000
Speaker 1: not doing any negotiation. But it seems real on the

2196
01:58:14,000 --> 01:58:17,839
Speaker 1: football side of it. And I'm and from our experience

2197
01:58:17,840 --> 01:58:22,000
Speaker 1: in the building here rightfully, so football runs things these days,

2198
01:58:22,160 --> 01:58:24,160
Speaker 1: is not marketing, you know, and it's certainly not in

2199
01:58:24,200 --> 01:58:27,320
Speaker 1: the media content for the production people. And I think

2200
01:58:27,680 --> 01:58:31,320
Speaker 1: when push comes to shove. I think, don't in this situation,

2201
01:58:31,360 --> 01:58:34,480
Speaker 1: don't you give Brandon and Sean what they want? Well,

2202
01:58:34,520 --> 01:58:36,880
Speaker 1: and the Pogoulas, to their credit, have I mean, just

2203
01:58:36,920 --> 01:58:39,520
Speaker 1: look at the eighteen million dollars training facility over here,

2204
01:58:39,560 --> 01:58:44,600
Speaker 1: the investment in the sports science department. Ye re refurbishing

2205
01:58:44,640 --> 01:58:48,760
Speaker 1: the entire athletic training wing of the building. They got

2206
01:58:48,800 --> 01:58:51,080
Speaker 1: new they got a new astroturn. He's putting new turf

2207
01:58:51,080 --> 01:58:55,080
Speaker 1: down in the field house. This spring. They expanded the

2208
01:58:55,120 --> 01:58:57,800
Speaker 1: grass practice field, so now it has three fields instead

2209
01:58:57,840 --> 01:59:00,680
Speaker 1: of two for one really one and a half it had.

2210
01:59:00,720 --> 01:59:05,800
Speaker 1: Now it's got three. Yeah, so they've done They've done

2211
01:59:05,840 --> 01:59:08,880
Speaker 1: their job. They've Yeah, both sides have catering to what

2212
01:59:09,000 --> 01:59:12,000
Speaker 1: the team needs. The football guys have delivered on the field,

2213
01:59:12,120 --> 01:59:15,440
Speaker 1: and the ownership has absolutely held up there into the bargain.

2214
01:59:15,600 --> 01:59:20,520
Speaker 1: And yeah, and that they're even the operations staff with

2215
01:59:20,560 --> 01:59:22,560
Speaker 1: all the hoops they jumped through to meet the COVID

2216
01:59:22,600 --> 01:59:25,760
Speaker 1: protocols and still give the players and the coaches the

2217
01:59:25,760 --> 01:59:29,320
Speaker 1: workspace they needed to still do their regular daily business

2218
01:59:29,400 --> 01:59:31,880
Speaker 1: in a much different way, but they needed much more

2219
01:59:31,920 --> 01:59:34,560
Speaker 1: space to do it too. And yeah, the operations staff's

2220
01:59:34,560 --> 01:59:36,800
Speaker 1: out here pitching tents and doing everything else they can

2221
01:59:36,880 --> 01:59:40,760
Speaker 1: to make that half. Those guys were like it was

2222
01:59:40,760 --> 01:59:44,440
Speaker 1: like a band of bedou ones. Man. They were right,

2223
01:59:44,520 --> 01:59:46,240
Speaker 1: I mean they were. It was they were like a

2224
01:59:46,320 --> 01:59:48,680
Speaker 1: small army, were a horde of locusts, A small a

2225
01:59:48,680 --> 01:59:51,400
Speaker 1: small army. You know, they got like, think about it,

2226
01:59:52,040 --> 01:59:55,320
Speaker 1: they have like a hundred tables to set up just

2227
01:59:55,480 --> 01:59:58,040
Speaker 1: at the right distance six feet apart. They're out there

2228
01:59:58,040 --> 02:00:03,920
Speaker 1: with a tape measure and unbelieving, and they're like, like

2229
02:00:04,080 --> 02:00:06,520
Speaker 1: time laps would be kind of cool of that. Yeah,

2230
02:00:06,520 --> 02:00:09,120
Speaker 1: but man, oh man, what and nobody's ever done it before,

2231
02:00:09,320 --> 02:00:12,360
Speaker 1: there's no temperate It was like, what do we do? Well,

2232
02:00:12,360 --> 02:00:14,040
Speaker 1: how do you want this? What's it supposed to look like?

2233
02:00:14,080 --> 02:00:15,400
Speaker 1: What are the rules? What do we where do you

2234
02:00:15,440 --> 02:00:18,400
Speaker 1: want these tables to face? What's gonna look, who's gonna

2235
02:00:18,400 --> 02:00:21,440
Speaker 1: be in front? What? And you need how many coaches

2236
02:00:21,440 --> 02:00:23,680
Speaker 1: in there? You know, nobody knew what it was supposed

2237
02:00:23,680 --> 02:00:27,040
Speaker 1: to look like. Yeah. Crazy, but they got it done

2238
02:00:27,120 --> 02:00:32,040
Speaker 1: then won fifteen games doing it. Yeah, that's they found

2239
02:00:32,040 --> 02:00:35,240
Speaker 1: a way. They found a way. Break time for us.

2240
02:00:35,360 --> 02:00:39,080
Speaker 1: When Steve and I come back, there is uh, well,

2241
02:00:39,240 --> 02:00:42,080
Speaker 1: let's just say a couple of things cruising down the

2242
02:00:42,080 --> 02:00:46,600
Speaker 1: pike in the wake of the Russell Wilson brew haha uh.

2243
02:00:46,800 --> 02:00:50,800
Speaker 1: And there is also some NFL true false set to

2244
02:00:50,840 --> 02:00:53,240
Speaker 1: come your way next Here on One Bill's Live, presented

2245
02:00:53,240 --> 02:01:07,680
Speaker 1: by Collota Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. So Steve.

2246
02:01:07,680 --> 02:01:09,800
Speaker 1: At the top of the show, we were talking about

2247
02:01:10,480 --> 02:01:13,920
Speaker 1: how Russell Wilson said he always was intending to finish

2248
02:01:13,960 --> 02:01:17,360
Speaker 1: his career in Seattle, loves Seattle, loves the fans, never

2249
02:01:17,400 --> 02:01:21,240
Speaker 1: wanted to be traded, YadA, YadA, YadA. So just to

2250
02:01:21,320 --> 02:01:26,240
Speaker 1: paint the picture, and I'm gonna credit Jason from over

2251
02:01:26,280 --> 02:01:28,680
Speaker 1: the Cap, one of the Salary Cap sites does a

2252
02:01:28,800 --> 02:01:34,080
Speaker 1: nice job over there for pegging this and crystallizing what

2253
02:01:34,240 --> 02:01:38,440
Speaker 1: we witnessed this offseason with Russell Wilson. So computer cowboy tweets,

2254
02:01:38,800 --> 02:01:41,720
Speaker 1: did I miss why Seahawks fans are yelling at Seahawks

2255
02:01:41,720 --> 02:01:44,600
Speaker 1: beat reporters for reporting on the Russell Wilson trade staff

2256
02:01:44,840 --> 02:01:48,520
Speaker 1: trade stuff, i e. Literally doing their jobs, which they

2257
02:01:48,560 --> 02:01:51,200
Speaker 1: were right. And when the agent comes out and says, well,

2258
02:01:51,240 --> 02:01:53,560
Speaker 1: we'd wave our no trade clause for these four teams,

2259
02:01:54,200 --> 02:01:58,560
Speaker 1: it makes the idea of Russell Wilson wanting out of Seattle,

2260
02:01:58,880 --> 02:02:01,320
Speaker 1: very very real, and you're not doing your job if

2261
02:02:01,320 --> 02:02:04,640
Speaker 1: you're not reporting on that. Right. But now, because Russell

2262
02:02:04,640 --> 02:02:06,960
Speaker 1: Wilson's come out and said, ah, I never wanted to

2263
02:02:06,960 --> 02:02:10,800
Speaker 1: be traded, now Seahawks fans are turning on the reporters

2264
02:02:10,800 --> 02:02:14,360
Speaker 1: who cover the team. So Jason from Over the Cap

2265
02:02:14,440 --> 02:02:18,720
Speaker 1: explains to Computer Cowboy, it's a cool trick. Float something

2266
02:02:18,760 --> 02:02:21,720
Speaker 1: out there to show you are upset. Fans get angry

2267
02:02:21,760 --> 02:02:24,040
Speaker 1: and don't want to believe it. Later come out and

2268
02:02:24,080 --> 02:02:26,880
Speaker 1: say you never floated any such idea, and fans love

2269
02:02:26,920 --> 02:02:30,040
Speaker 1: you again and blame the reporters. That's really how it goes,

2270
02:02:30,560 --> 02:02:32,320
Speaker 1: or at least how it went in Russell Wilson's case.

2271
02:02:32,400 --> 02:02:36,200
Speaker 1: It's all damage control. But they buy it, hook line

2272
02:02:36,200 --> 02:02:38,240
Speaker 1: and sinker because they love the player. They just kind

2273
02:02:38,280 --> 02:02:40,280
Speaker 1: of tend to forget about the fact that the four

2274
02:02:40,280 --> 02:02:43,280
Speaker 1: teams that he mentioned that he would go to, what

2275
02:02:43,480 --> 02:02:51,120
Speaker 1: was it, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Chicago, Houston, Dallas was not

2276
02:02:51,240 --> 02:02:55,720
Speaker 1: Green Bay. It was hold On. Although people thought Green

2277
02:02:55,720 --> 02:03:01,600
Speaker 1: Bay should trade Rogers for Russell Wilson. Yeah, um, hold On,

2278
02:03:01,640 --> 02:03:07,920
Speaker 1: I got it here. Where are we here? Sints four team? Yeah,

2279
02:03:08,040 --> 02:03:12,680
Speaker 1: Bears Cowboys, Raiders, Saints, Bears, Cowboys, Raiders, Raiders. That's what

2280
02:03:12,800 --> 02:03:15,840
Speaker 1: was I saying? Bears, Cowboys, Raiders, sin Yeah. But he

2281
02:03:16,280 --> 02:03:17,880
Speaker 1: but he'd never want to trade it, but he would

2282
02:03:17,880 --> 02:03:21,880
Speaker 1: be his agent, But he would publicly provided a list

2283
02:03:22,080 --> 02:03:25,440
Speaker 1: of four teams for whom Wilson would waive his no

2284
02:03:25,520 --> 02:03:29,080
Speaker 1: trade clause. But it's the reporter's fault for reporting it

2285
02:03:29,080 --> 02:03:32,320
Speaker 1: in the first place. Yeah, get the hell out of Dodge. Yeah,

2286
02:03:32,520 --> 02:03:37,640
Speaker 1: that's come on with this. That's vintage Russ. That may

2287
02:03:37,680 --> 02:03:41,240
Speaker 1: be the most vintage vintage That bothers me. That's rush

2288
02:03:41,760 --> 02:03:47,160
Speaker 1: to a t. I think, I think, what's he gonna say?

2289
02:03:47,280 --> 02:03:49,080
Speaker 1: What can he say to that? Are somebody gonna ask

2290
02:03:49,160 --> 02:03:51,000
Speaker 1: him on that and say, well, why did you let

2291
02:03:51,040 --> 02:03:54,920
Speaker 1: it be known that you would waive your no trade

2292
02:03:54,960 --> 02:03:57,080
Speaker 1: clause for those four teams if you didn't ask for

2293
02:03:57,120 --> 02:04:02,400
Speaker 1: a trade. Isn't that asking for a trade? In my book,

2294
02:04:02,440 --> 02:04:04,520
Speaker 1: it is. And you know, the old time, back in

2295
02:04:04,520 --> 02:04:06,720
Speaker 1: the old days, the player roos, go, well, as my agent,

2296
02:04:06,800 --> 02:04:09,280
Speaker 1: I didn't he Well, is he's still your agent? Oh

2297
02:04:09,320 --> 02:04:14,880
Speaker 1: he is? Last week? Checked? He was. Well there you go.

2298
02:04:15,320 --> 02:04:19,040
Speaker 1: I mean, what else you gotta do to convince me?

2299
02:04:19,360 --> 02:04:21,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you're talking about a franchise quarterback on a

2300
02:04:21,560 --> 02:04:23,920
Speaker 1: team whose agent has just put out four teams that

2301
02:04:23,920 --> 02:04:25,800
Speaker 1: he would wave his no trade clause to go to.

2302
02:04:26,560 --> 02:04:28,440
Speaker 1: I never said I wanted to be traded. Get the

2303
02:04:28,440 --> 02:04:30,600
Speaker 1: heck out of here with that, right, All right, enough

2304
02:04:30,640 --> 02:04:33,560
Speaker 1: on him, Russ. Time for a little NFL True Falls Steve,

2305
02:04:33,600 --> 02:04:37,920
Speaker 1: brought to you by Yancey's Fancy New York's artisan Cheese.

2306
02:04:39,360 --> 02:04:43,800
Speaker 1: NFL True False Number one. Washington is in win now

2307
02:04:43,920 --> 02:04:49,520
Speaker 1: mode with Ryan Fitzpatrick. Oh, I think absolutely. They feel

2308
02:04:49,520 --> 02:04:51,880
Speaker 1: like they can win the division, and I think they can.

2309
02:04:52,560 --> 02:04:55,200
Speaker 1: Depends on what depends on Dallas and Dak and all that.

2310
02:04:55,200 --> 02:04:59,760
Speaker 1: Because Dallas, well, I say that Dak was lightened up

2311
02:05:00,080 --> 02:05:02,080
Speaker 1: in the season last year before he got hurt. Okay,

2312
02:05:02,120 --> 02:05:06,520
Speaker 1: but let's not forget they were one in three with

2313
02:05:06,560 --> 02:05:09,080
Speaker 1: those first four games of him throwing for four hundred

2314
02:05:09,120 --> 02:05:11,840
Speaker 1: yards a game. Yeah, he had to. He had them

2315
02:05:11,880 --> 02:05:13,680
Speaker 1: to just be in the game because he having up

2316
02:05:13,720 --> 02:05:17,520
Speaker 1: thirty five on defense. So Dallas can say what they want.

2317
02:05:19,080 --> 02:05:20,440
Speaker 1: I need to see something on the other side of

2318
02:05:20,440 --> 02:05:23,360
Speaker 1: the ball, dash they play well. Washington's got the best

2319
02:05:23,520 --> 02:05:26,560
Speaker 1: defense in the division. Their pass rush is spectacular. It's

2320
02:05:26,560 --> 02:05:30,240
Speaker 1: all the first round picks. Chubb and Montes Sweat too,

2321
02:05:30,480 --> 02:05:33,960
Speaker 1: really great young pass rushes. You're still I'm sorry Chase Young.

2322
02:05:34,520 --> 02:05:37,360
Speaker 1: Chase Young and Montes Sweat two really good pass rushers,

2323
02:05:37,360 --> 02:05:39,520
Speaker 1: both on their rookie deals. They are crushing it. Thank

2324
02:05:39,600 --> 02:05:41,920
Speaker 1: Jonathan Allen on the inside. I mean they are. They're

2325
02:05:41,960 --> 02:05:44,760
Speaker 1: crushing it. So they're good and and with fits and

2326
02:05:44,840 --> 02:05:49,880
Speaker 1: when we listen, we've seen it. He he's gonna get

2327
02:05:49,920 --> 02:05:53,120
Speaker 1: you something. He's gonna give you something every week. Yeah.

2328
02:05:53,160 --> 02:06:00,800
Speaker 1: And if you can listen, right, if you can just temper, yeah, temperate.

2329
02:06:00,880 --> 02:06:04,240
Speaker 1: If he's got enough around him, you can win with fits,

2330
02:06:04,240 --> 02:06:06,880
Speaker 1: no question. He's got Curtis Samuel and he's got Terry

2331
02:06:06,920 --> 02:06:09,800
Speaker 1: McLaurin to take guys that can fly. Think about it.

2332
02:06:09,800 --> 02:06:12,680
Speaker 1: You're telling me the Washing Redskins with fits and that

2333
02:06:12,880 --> 02:06:16,400
Speaker 1: pass rushing, that defense isn't better than Philly. Oh they are?

2334
02:06:17,000 --> 02:06:19,200
Speaker 1: And what about Daniel Jones and the Giants? They're better

2335
02:06:19,280 --> 02:06:21,400
Speaker 1: with a with now, Daniel Jones has a lot of

2336
02:06:21,400 --> 02:06:23,440
Speaker 1: offensive weapons around him. But I don't know if their

2337
02:06:23,480 --> 02:06:27,280
Speaker 1: defense is right yet, is say Quan not quite probably yet,

2338
02:06:28,080 --> 02:06:30,720
Speaker 1: We'll see. He's kind of an athletic freak he might be,

2339
02:06:31,320 --> 02:06:34,800
Speaker 1: so we'll see. Yeah, but I would say true as well.

2340
02:06:34,840 --> 02:06:37,320
Speaker 1: They are in win now mode. They think they can do.

2341
02:06:37,480 --> 02:06:40,400
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera is claiming there's an open quarterback competition. But

2342
02:06:40,440 --> 02:06:42,960
Speaker 1: if if you've got a thirty eight year old quarterback

2343
02:06:43,000 --> 02:06:46,200
Speaker 1: on your roster who you know is the starter going

2344
02:06:46,200 --> 02:06:49,520
Speaker 1: into camp beginning, you're probably throwing him out on the

2345
02:06:49,560 --> 02:06:51,120
Speaker 1: field and say, hell, let's see how many wins we

2346
02:06:51,120 --> 02:06:54,160
Speaker 1: could get with his defense, you know, holding us in games.

2347
02:06:55,240 --> 02:06:58,040
Speaker 1: I think that's the plan there for sure. NFL true

2348
02:06:58,040 --> 02:07:01,720
Speaker 1: falls number two. It's a make or break year for

2349
02:07:01,840 --> 02:07:06,640
Speaker 1: head coach Mike McCarthy in Dallas his second year, right,

2350
02:07:06,720 --> 02:07:10,880
Speaker 1: it is, But it's Dallas. I would say yes, because

2351
02:07:10,880 --> 02:07:14,120
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, I don't know. I don't I

2352
02:07:14,160 --> 02:07:16,800
Speaker 1: watched Dallas Summas about as much as we're all, you know,

2353
02:07:16,920 --> 02:07:19,760
Speaker 1: relegated to watching them because they're on TV all the time.

2354
02:07:21,880 --> 02:07:23,840
Speaker 1: And the things that I heard about Mike McCarthy after

2355
02:07:23,920 --> 02:07:26,480
Speaker 1: he left Green Bay, and certainly there's never it's never

2356
02:07:26,640 --> 02:07:29,760
Speaker 1: rainbow and rainbow and sunshines, you know, with when a

2357
02:07:29,760 --> 02:07:33,600
Speaker 1: guy leaves a team like he did Green Bay. And

2358
02:07:33,640 --> 02:07:36,480
Speaker 1: we've we've seen Aaron Rodgers is pretty critical of and

2359
02:07:36,600 --> 02:07:40,880
Speaker 1: pretty hard to keep on the good side of. But

2360
02:07:40,960 --> 02:07:48,080
Speaker 1: he seems unimaginative offensively, his team doesn't seem complete. The

2361
02:07:48,160 --> 02:07:51,920
Speaker 1: things you heard about him when he left Green Bay

2362
02:07:52,120 --> 02:07:59,800
Speaker 1: were not complimentary. Yeah, I'm gonna and I and I'll

2363
02:07:59,800 --> 02:08:04,320
Speaker 1: say this Jerry for all we all you know, for

2364
02:08:04,400 --> 02:08:06,360
Speaker 1: all anybody up here in Western New York thinks about

2365
02:08:06,400 --> 02:08:08,040
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones. A guy knows what he's doing and he'll

2366
02:08:08,080 --> 02:08:10,520
Speaker 1: pull the plug if he thinks he should. He wants

2367
02:08:10,560 --> 02:08:13,600
Speaker 1: to win every year. Dallas has not made the playoffs

2368
02:08:13,600 --> 02:08:16,040
Speaker 1: since twenty eighteen, when they were ten and six won

2369
02:08:16,080 --> 02:08:20,640
Speaker 1: the division. Didn't go very far after that, though, So

2370
02:08:23,400 --> 02:08:28,120
Speaker 1: I think that if management and chiefly Jerry feels like

2371
02:08:28,200 --> 02:08:30,760
Speaker 1: they have the horses to be a playoff caliber team

2372
02:08:30,840 --> 02:08:34,360
Speaker 1: and they don't reach that goal, you're on the hot seat,

2373
02:08:34,440 --> 02:08:36,720
Speaker 1: I think quickly. I think you're evaluated on what you're

2374
02:08:36,720 --> 02:08:41,600
Speaker 1: doing every every year in Dallas, and I don't think

2375
02:08:41,680 --> 02:08:45,919
Speaker 1: Jerry has any I mean, he made like Mike McCarthy personally,

2376
02:08:46,200 --> 02:08:50,480
Speaker 1: but he's he doesn't owe that guy, you know, an

2377
02:08:50,840 --> 02:08:53,720
Speaker 1: eight year career as head coach. He gave Jason Garrett

2378
02:08:53,760 --> 02:08:57,000
Speaker 1: an awful lot of rope. He probably coached there three

2379
02:08:57,040 --> 02:09:00,280
Speaker 1: more years than a lot of people thought he would. Yeah,

2380
02:09:00,320 --> 02:09:04,320
Speaker 1: Now he had an affinity for Jason, was a player

2381
02:09:04,360 --> 02:09:07,360
Speaker 1: for him, had a long history with the club as

2382
02:09:07,360 --> 02:09:14,080
Speaker 1: a coordinator coordinator, and probably did better than any coach

2383
02:09:14,120 --> 02:09:18,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL could have because, in my opinion, the

2384
02:09:19,000 --> 02:09:22,760
Speaker 1: head coach in Dallas, job one is handling your relationship

2385
02:09:22,800 --> 02:09:26,120
Speaker 1: with the owner. That's job one, and I think Jason

2386
02:09:26,200 --> 02:09:28,200
Speaker 1: was master at that. Yeah, and he was a good

2387
02:09:28,240 --> 02:09:30,240
Speaker 1: coach too. I know what people think of him, like

2388
02:09:30,320 --> 02:09:33,000
Speaker 1: mister medioc or whatever they call him. What I thought Jason,

2389
02:09:33,080 --> 02:09:34,480
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett knew what he was doing as a head

2390
02:09:34,520 --> 02:09:38,839
Speaker 1: coach and but job one for the job in Dallas

2391
02:09:38,920 --> 02:09:42,400
Speaker 1: is handling your relationship with that owner and selling him

2392
02:09:42,440 --> 02:09:44,800
Speaker 1: on your program. And I think that was as good

2393
02:09:44,800 --> 02:09:47,720
Speaker 1: as That's what Jason Garrett was really good at. I

2394
02:09:47,760 --> 02:09:49,400
Speaker 1: am going to say true, it is a make or

2395
02:09:49,400 --> 02:09:51,640
Speaker 1: break here for head coach Mike McCarthy and Dallas. I

2396
02:09:51,680 --> 02:09:53,560
Speaker 1: think to keep his job, he's got to make the

2397
02:09:53,560 --> 02:09:57,480
Speaker 1: playoffs at the very least, or have a really good

2398
02:09:57,480 --> 02:10:00,200
Speaker 1: reason why he didn't. It's playoffs or bust for him.

2399
02:10:00,280 --> 02:10:02,760
Speaker 1: I mean, short of Dak Prescott having another season ending

2400
02:10:02,800 --> 02:10:06,960
Speaker 1: injury or something he's done like dinner right, if they

2401
02:10:06,960 --> 02:10:10,240
Speaker 1: don't make the playoffs last NFL true falls, Falcon's tight

2402
02:10:10,320 --> 02:10:14,280
Speaker 1: end Kyle Pitts will win twenty twenty one NFL Offensive

2403
02:10:14,920 --> 02:10:18,560
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year. You want me to go first? Yeah,

2404
02:10:18,560 --> 02:10:21,160
Speaker 1: I have had it. What do you think I'm gonna say?

2405
02:10:21,680 --> 02:10:25,280
Speaker 1: Hell no, that's right. I mean, the only reason he's

2406
02:10:25,320 --> 02:10:27,120
Speaker 1: in the running for this is because he's a rookie

2407
02:10:27,160 --> 02:10:28,840
Speaker 1: and he plays on the offensive side of the ball,

2408
02:10:28,920 --> 02:10:30,640
Speaker 1: and he's the highest draft to tight end in the

2409
02:10:30,680 --> 02:10:34,440
Speaker 1: history of fall. Five quarterbacks got taken in this draft,

2410
02:10:35,080 --> 02:10:39,360
Speaker 1: one of them first overall, another one's second overall. And

2411
02:10:39,520 --> 02:10:44,280
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts is going to an Atlanta offense that hasn't

2412
02:10:44,320 --> 02:10:47,120
Speaker 1: had a tight end since Tony Gonzalez. Just you know

2413
02:10:47,280 --> 02:10:49,800
Speaker 1: that has been in any note. And you're telling me

2414
02:10:49,840 --> 02:10:53,800
Speaker 1: he's going to make the transition from Florida to the NFL,

2415
02:10:54,200 --> 02:10:56,800
Speaker 1: and certainly the guys are physical free. What do I

2416
02:10:56,840 --> 02:10:59,000
Speaker 1: say about tight ends? Though? Tight end prospects coming, we

2417
02:10:59,080 --> 02:11:03,040
Speaker 1: have an issue with them. I've seen them before. There's

2418
02:11:03,080 --> 02:11:05,440
Speaker 1: a ton of them. They all they come out every year,

2419
02:11:05,720 --> 02:11:08,080
Speaker 1: best tight in there. Look at this guy's a physical freak,

2420
02:11:08,120 --> 02:11:10,440
Speaker 1: he's in the line, he's a big Jackson was the

2421
02:11:10,680 --> 02:11:13,840
Speaker 1: tenth or eleventh pick. T J. Hockinson, AJ Howard O

2422
02:11:14,040 --> 02:11:16,760
Speaker 1: J Howard the same thing. You hear these guys coming out,

2423
02:11:17,440 --> 02:11:20,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're the you know, the cats me out.

2424
02:11:20,160 --> 02:11:26,280
Speaker 1: They're unbelievable, impossible matchup and you know what they're they're good,

2425
02:11:26,440 --> 02:11:30,280
Speaker 1: but they don't even get a whiff of the offensive

2426
02:11:30,360 --> 02:11:32,960
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year. Yeah, I mean there's just yeah.

2427
02:11:33,000 --> 02:11:35,360
Speaker 1: I'm saying no, no, no, no, Yeah. I would say,

2428
02:11:35,360 --> 02:11:38,160
Speaker 1: I think it's nice. It's nice, you know, caveat to

2429
02:11:38,160 --> 02:11:41,200
Speaker 1: throw at the kid, but he's got no shot. I

2430
02:11:41,240 --> 02:11:44,480
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be Trevor Lawrence or Justin Fields, right,

2431
02:11:44,560 --> 02:11:47,520
Speaker 1: that'll be the offensive TV. Maybe Zach Wilson if if

2432
02:11:47,560 --> 02:11:50,720
Speaker 1: he has any kind of success. Break time for us here,

2433
02:11:50,800 --> 02:11:52,640
Speaker 1: Steve and I close it up next with what have

2434
02:11:52,720 --> 02:12:08,080
Speaker 1: we Learned? Here? On One Bill's Live. Stay tuned. It's

2435
02:12:08,160 --> 02:12:10,360
Speaker 1: that time in the show What have We Learned? Brought

2436
02:12:10,400 --> 02:12:13,240
Speaker 1: to you by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental company

2437
02:12:13,280 --> 02:12:15,760
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. We learned that Justin Field signed his

2438
02:12:15,840 --> 02:12:20,040
Speaker 1: rookie contract today for the Chicago Bess. Also signing his

2439
02:12:20,160 --> 02:12:24,800
Speaker 1: rookie contract Oda Fe Jason Oway for the Baltimore Ravens.

2440
02:12:24,840 --> 02:12:30,240
Speaker 1: We also spoke to Nick Hicks of pro Perform Training Facility.

2441
02:12:30,280 --> 02:12:33,880
Speaker 1: He said, from what he's seen about Devin Singletary, motor

2442
02:12:33,920 --> 02:12:37,480
Speaker 1: has a motor, motors got a motor. It sounds like

2443
02:12:37,560 --> 02:12:40,600
Speaker 1: he is significantly more explosive than he was a year ago.

2444
02:12:40,680 --> 02:12:43,680
Speaker 1: And it you know from the the Twitter picture we

2445
02:12:43,720 --> 02:12:45,680
Speaker 1: saw before we got here to training camp or two

2446
02:12:45,840 --> 02:12:48,920
Speaker 1: OTAs and also hearing about what he's doing in OTA,

2447
02:12:49,080 --> 02:12:53,040
Speaker 1: sounds like, hey, maybe said two to three tenths faster,

2448
02:12:53,200 --> 02:12:56,000
Speaker 1: that would put him in the four four Steve. Yeah,

2449
02:12:56,120 --> 02:12:59,280
Speaker 1: we'll see. That's it can be done. I mean, that's

2450
02:12:59,320 --> 02:13:01,760
Speaker 1: the only I keep saying. These guys can get better

2451
02:13:01,800 --> 02:13:07,320
Speaker 1: at every aspect of their physical as a physical body

2452
02:13:07,360 --> 02:13:10,680
Speaker 1: except height. You can't coach height. Everything else can be coached.

2453
02:13:10,840 --> 02:13:12,600
Speaker 1: You can get thinner, you can get heavier, you can

2454
02:13:12,640 --> 02:13:17,520
Speaker 1: get stronger, leaner, faster, you can jump higher, you can

2455
02:13:17,520 --> 02:13:21,160
Speaker 1: get more explosive, you can do all that stuff. You

2456
02:13:21,200 --> 02:13:25,240
Speaker 1: can't get taller, and he's absolutely working on getting faster.

2457
02:13:25,360 --> 02:13:27,720
Speaker 1: That's what he said, make me faster, and there they are.

2458
02:13:27,840 --> 02:13:31,000
Speaker 1: He puts some time in on it, we'll see, as

2459
02:13:31,000 --> 02:13:33,720
Speaker 1: we also learned he's worked. He worked with Matt Breeda

2460
02:13:33,800 --> 02:13:39,040
Speaker 1: this offseason, who wanted to learn some moves in tight spaces.

2461
02:13:39,680 --> 02:13:43,280
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people peg Brita as you know,

2462
02:13:44,200 --> 02:13:46,600
Speaker 1: a straight line runner, and because he's very fast at

2463
02:13:46,600 --> 02:13:49,240
Speaker 1: doing that, he can throw some moves into his toolbox

2464
02:13:49,320 --> 02:13:52,160
Speaker 1: all the better. I'd be really interesting to see these guys.

2465
02:13:52,200 --> 02:13:56,720
Speaker 1: Mandatory minicamp coverage comes your way next week, Steve, and

2466
02:13:56,760 --> 02:13:59,680
Speaker 1: I'll be here for all of it, so we will

2467
02:13:59,720 --> 02:14:02,200
Speaker 1: see then. Our thanks to the guys in the control

2468
02:14:02,280 --> 02:14:05,520
Speaker 1: room operating shorthanded today, Jeff Colton, at Tom Hollander, George

2469
