Speaker 1: to have a foot toll thing to sit them because

21
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,560

00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: I didn't like it. Didn't like it. Backpack came. I

23
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: complained to Jay Harris and I came in the next

24
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,920

28
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: a nice little platform. If you roll off, yep. That's

29
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: why I don't like it. I disappear behind this desk

30
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: because you've got a foot and a half to work

31
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: with behind you. We should put they should put a

32
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: little railings. That would give me too much anxiety during

33
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: a show, So I may switch over to your side,

34
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: but I may move the platform. Maybe they can put

35
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: just little pieces of wood around the edge, just give

36
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: it a little rim, you know, so he wouldn't go

37
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: over all that you're asking for too much. That might

38
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: be a little bit to come on. I didn't ask,

39
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: I mean I kind of did. I said, I need

40
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: a new chair, and I said and they So they

Speaker 1: getting into the schedule quite a bit this week, going

52
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: over some games, going over other teams games. I mean,

53
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: we went over the Patriots first four weeks last yesterday.

54
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: I was gonna say a couple of days ago, but

55
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: yesterday we went through and try to figure out, all right,

56
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: when is Mac Jones gonna start as Cam Newton going

57
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: to start the season, and dove into that a little bit.

58
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: We've been diving into our schedule and what it looks like.

59
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: And there's some big games on this schedule this season. Yeah,

60
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: but is there a game that is a must win

61
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills on this twenty twenty one schedule?

62
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: So that's gonna be our Twitter poll today, which game

63
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 1: on the Bills schedule. Do they have to win that? Yeah,

64
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: and that's this. Everybody's different. But what game do you

65
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: think they gotta win? And a lot of people come

66
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: up and I said, well, it's gotta be you know there.

67
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: People say it's got to be the Chiefs game and

68
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: all that, and then some other people said, no, no no, no,

69
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: I'd like the revenge game on the Titans Chiefs rematch.

70
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: I want and nationally televised. I wanted to look good

71
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: in New Orleans on the night when everybody in the

72
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: United States is going to be watching that game on

73
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Night. I wanted to win that game. They're gonna

74
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: win a ton of games this year. I mean, they're

75
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: a good football team. They're gonna play well, They're gonna

76
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: win games. The coaching staff is gonna be on point there,

77
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: you know. But if you know, if you had one

78
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: they gotta win, which one is it? And why? Yeah?

79
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: I want know why? Because it's not an easy out.

80
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: Could say, you know, you could say the Kansas City

81
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: rematch and stuff, but a lot and I thought this too,

82
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: And I've been thinking this for a while, Maddie, I

83
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: kind of don't I want to play well in that

84
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: game because he's not like them to win it, of course,

85
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna lose one, know when you're gonna

86
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: play him again in the playoffs. I'm right there with you.

87
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: I think, you know, let him have another win, you know,

88
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: let him have three in a row, and then they'll

89
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: come in here or we'll go in there and they'll

90
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: be thinking they ain't gonna beat us, this team ain't

91
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: good enough. Don't then get them right, Then get the win.

92
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: You may see, you're kind of counting on seeing the

93
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs twice this next year, and of course you gotta

94
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: win the second one, but that's not on our schedule yet.

95
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: So and I don't want to say, you know, I

96
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: gotta win the Super Bowl of yeah, okay, no, it's

97
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: got to be on the regular season schedule. That's so

98
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: those are the games we're talking about. And if you

99
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: think it's I guess, if you think it's important that

100
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: they beat Detroit, Chicago or Green Bay in the preseason,

101
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: you can say that too, nuts, But yeah, okay, whatever,

102
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: those games are on the schedule. So if you want

103
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: to pick one of those, fine. Some people think and

104
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: let's let's be honest. I've said it for a long time,

105
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: Maddie Opening Days, Big Everybody's gonna be there, Steelers, Steelers

106
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: one o'clock at our place, Terrible Towels will be there.

107
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: How important is to get off to that start? I

108
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: think that week one is going to set the stage

109
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: for a lot because you're not playing against Joe Schmo team,

110
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: You're playing against the Steelers, You're playing against Big Ben.

111
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: It's a national it's a national friend. There's a couple

112
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: of those, like Cowboys, Steelers, Patriots or a national brand.

113
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: You know, there's not too many of them, you know,

114
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: But and the team I played on the night that

115
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: was a kind of a national team after being in

116
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: so many playoff games and being on TV so much

117
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: and playing in the Berlin, the American Bowl in Berlin,

118
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: the American Bowling London, you know, three playoff games a year,

119
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowl with all of that stuff. So that was

120
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: a national franchise for a while. But the Steelers are that,

121
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: you know, you see the Steelers on primetime every single year.

122
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's a big one. Is that How you

123
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: answer the question, Well, let me just know I'm not

124
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: gonna go there yet. You're giving everybody a taste of

125
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: the options. Yeah, I'm going down the list. I mean,

126
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: it could be the Patriots for Bills fans. Yeah, Monday night, Yeah,

127
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: December pretty important. First, that's the first game they see

128
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: him in, right, Yeah, I don't know, They're all important.

129
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: I mean that's the way it goes. I mean we

130
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: get that. But yeah, the first New England game eight

131
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: fifteen on December sixth. Then you see him again December

132
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: twenty sixth one in the afternoon at New England. The

133
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:58,679
Speaker 1: Monday night game at home against New England. That's pretty big.

134
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: That's pretty big. There's nothing to be sneezed at the

135
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints eight twenty pm, Thursday night, Thursday night, Thanksgiving.

136
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: That's kind of a mini bye week as well. For

137
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: the Bills. They play on Thursday night on November twenty fifth.

138
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: They don't see the field again until December sixth, on

139
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: Monday night, so they go through the next weekend. They

140
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: had a couple extra days. I like that because we

141
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: have an early bye week this year, yeah, week seven.

142
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: I think for that reason, I think the schedule set

143
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: up really nice. We had a week twelve bye week

144
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,239
Speaker 1: last year, yeah, Week eleven, Week eleven, I think something

145
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, it was a late bye week last

146
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: year and it worked out pretty good too. But if

147
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: you take that Saints weekend, you play the Colts at home,

148
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,119
Speaker 1: then you go to the Saints on Thanksgiving short week,

149
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: but you get the Colts first, which is going to

150
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: be a really rough game, I think, and then you

151
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: get a little mini bye. We get like eight or

152
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: nine ten days till the Patriot game. That's big. It's

153
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: really big rest up before you see the Patriots and

154
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: the Bucks back to back. Yeah, many bye week. It's

155
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: a nice little gap between we were talking about tough

156
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: stretches yesterday. It's a nice little gap between that four

157
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: week tough stretch that they'll have cold Saints Patriots, Bucks.

158
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: You get a little bit of a longer week in

159
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: between the Saints and the Patriots to rest up to heal,

160
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: because at that point in the season, it's going to

161
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: be hard for your veterans at least to be one

162
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: hundred percent. By then, you're getting into December, it's cold

163
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: or outside. Your body's not as loose, not as warm

164
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: on the field, especially for the home games there. I mean,

165
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna go away to play the Buccaneers, so you'll

166
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: have warmer weather there. But I do like that little

167
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: break that they get in between the end of November

168
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: and the beginning of December to kind of get through

169
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. Yeah, but they're gonna have

170
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: to win more than just one game obviously to do

171
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: anything right. But so they're gonna win their share. But

172
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: if there's a game that you're looking at, going, man,

173
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: just beat those guys, you know what is it? I'm

174
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: thinking not too many people are gonna say the Texans

175
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: or the Washington football team, but the Chiefs and Titans.

176
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: There's a little bit of something there, you know what

177
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 1: I mean? The Patriots obviously, the Buccaneers, the defending champions,

178
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, good grief. The look we dropped two to

179
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: the Chiefs last year is the third time of charm. Yeah,

180
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: you're fifteen and two against the league and you're oh

181
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: and two against the Chiefs. That stinks. Maybe just to

182
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: say that you did it. And if you beat the

183
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: Chiefs on October tenth, let's say you go. Let's say

184
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: you go five and oh on October tenth against the Chiefs,

185
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: you're thinking number one seed, bye week for the playoffs.

186
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: That from that moment on, you're thinking bye week and

187
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have to come back again and play you

188
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 1: in your building. I think you've got to beat the

189
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Titans before you can think that way.

190
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna I think we're gonna beat the

191
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: Titans like a bug on a windshield, I do. I think.

192
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: I think this team is gonna for both those clubs,

193
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Titans, the Bills, they're gonna have

194
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: a chip the size of you know, the size of

195
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: the stadium on their shoulder. So I'm yeah, I for me,

196
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: I thought when we when we brought this out until

197
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: I talked to Jeff Coldenac and he said, no, I

198
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: don't know, because I said it's gonna be the Chiefs.

199
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: They're gonna run off with it and probably and maybe

200
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: it will. But he goes, I don't know. Titans or

201
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving Day against the Saints, the Buccaneers, Tom Brady

202
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: down there. I know there's a ton of people headed

203
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: to Tampa Bay for that game on December twelfth, So

204
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of a lot of stuff in there,

205
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: you know. Um, but I think there's you know, there's

206
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: a lot of these don't have anything like the Washington Redskins,

207
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: May the Texans man you know, the Jaguars and that

208
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: those don't hold you know, those don't carry any you know,

209
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: emotional baggage with him. But both Patriots games do. The

210
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: Colts game is going to be a really tough game

211
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: against a team that's really going um of course the

212
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: Bucks with Tom Brady. So it's I think it's Opening Day,

213
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Titans, the Saints and the Bucks

214
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: around the Patriots. I just say, how many is that's one?

215
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: Four six as six games? If you take just one

216
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: of the Patriot games, the options on our Twitter poll

217
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: are Chiefs, Bucks, Steelers, Patriots, Saints, Titans, other. Okay, so

218
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: you gave those options, all right, that's right. But you

219
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: we talk about yesterday, we were talking about the mentality

220
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: of been there, done that, and the mentality of getting

221
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: back to the AFC Championship game. The fact that this

222
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: group together hasn't been there before they were there this

223
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 1: past year. There's going to be a little bit more

224
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: of a calmness if they can make it there again

225
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: this year, which I would expect them to do that

226
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: because I believe in this roster, in this group and

227
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: this coaching staff. But there's probably a little bit of

228
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: the mentality that goes into this Chiefs matchup. You haven't

229
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: beaten them, you've lost two games against them. I think

230
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a get the monkey off

231
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: your back type of feel to this matchup against the

232
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: Chiefs before the Bills play the Titans the next week,

233
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: and maybe if you can knock them off there in

234
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: what week five, it's going to be easier to do

235
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: from mentality standpoint when you see them in the playoffs,

236
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: because you've already done it once. You know what it takes.

237
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: And good teams evolve as the season goes on. Good

238
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: teams know how to get better from a game that

239
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 1: you've played them in during the regular season, know what

240
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: they shouldn't be doing when you see them again in

241
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: the playoffs, because that's how you make it to the

242
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: super Bowl. And no team stays the same throughout the

243
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: entire year because you're playing against too good of competition

244
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: to remain the same. But it'd be nice to, like

245
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: you were saying, get out a week five, five and zero, thinking, yeah,

246
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: that's when it starts stop before there, Yeah, that's when

247
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: you start thinking, Okay, division playoffs and home field and

248
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: you've got to keep winning to do that. Luckily, I'm

249
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: luckily or for two. Fortunately enough, they went through a

250
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: lot of this. Last year, they were they were in,

251
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 1: they had the two losses, and up until Week eleven

252
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: or twelve last year, we've had the Pittsburgh game Monday night.

253
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: Here the Pittsburgh Steaters were in the driver's seat. They

254
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: were eleven and oh remember last year. Then they lost

255
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: two in a row to Buck to the team right

256
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: before Buffalo, and then you know the Bills. Yeah, so

257
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: the Bills are thinking, okay, here we go. You know

258
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, the same thing we were chasing the Chiefs. Um. Yeah,

259
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: the Bills were the two seed last year and that

260
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: that goes. That was big, really big. They had a

261
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: chance to go five and all last year. That Week

262
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: five game was against the Titans. That was the weird,

263
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: weird week that weird COVID game. I think a lot

264
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: of people might choose the Titans just because we all

265
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: still have such a sour taste in our mouth from

266
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: that game. I still get so heated talking about it

267
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: and so frustrated and so annoyed. I'm saving right there

268
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: with you. I've said it before that game was that

269
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: was the game, that was the moment in the season

270
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: where COVID got the best of the Bills, and it

271
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: was it was one of those unfair things happened to

272
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: the Steelers, happened to other teams, Baltimore, happened to all

273
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: these other teams that the Patriots, you know, everybody had

274
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: this this thing where COVID got them for a week,

275
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: not not only that their players got infected, which didn't

276
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: happen to the Bills, but the Bills the game got

277
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: moved twice or three times, then it got changed to

278
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: the Chiefs game, then it got moved back, and then

279
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: it got put on a Tuesday. You can't get ready

280
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: for a game in the NFL if you don't know

281
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: who went or where you're playing, and they didn't at

282
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: any given point during that week leading up to it.

283
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: And then they go down there and it's like you're

284
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: it's like they're sending you to this, you know, this

285
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: cesspool of COVID, right, I mean everybody down there's got COVID. Right,

286
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: You think, oh my guys, so we're gonna get there.

287
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: Really was a thought that the players were thinking, like

288
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna get somebody on our teams are gonna get it, yeah,

289
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: because all of their guys have got it right. So

290
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: they get down there and they're thinking, Ah, this game,

291
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: I don't and you can't play a football game like that.

292
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: You can't. You you're gonna get crushed. But on the

293
00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: other side of the field, the Titans got delivered off

294
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: death row. They were the team that was going to

295
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: forfeit their season. They were going to derail the entire

296
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: NFL season. They were the idiots who didn't follow COVID protocols.

297
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: They're the pariahs that nobody wants anything to do with,

298
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: their fan base, their players, their administration, their coaching staff.

299
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: Everybody was taking it, taking a beating in public opinion

300
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: because of what they did. And every day a new

301
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: guy was getting it. What are you doing? And then

302
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it was all forgotten. They could

303
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: go out and play and it was like they didn't

304
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: have anything to lose. They're just awesome. They hadn't they

305
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: hadn't practiced for a week, they were rested. They just

306
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: go in there and they just played their playbook one

307
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: on one. Hey, we all know these plays. Let's just

308
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: play these games. And they just cut it loose and

309
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: the Bills are like going to all show up, but

310
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: I don't really want to be here. Yeah, you're gonna

311
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: lose that game. Yeah, that was exactly the scenario in

312
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: that Tennessee game. And that's why Bills fans and players

313
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: should be like, and I've talked about it before, but

314
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: they played the victim mentality, did it? It's the world

315
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: against us and we're going to be the victims here.

316
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: And I remember Taylor Luance had something on the field

317
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: after the game basically mocking everybody who was mad at

318
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: the team for having so many people test positive for

319
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen and basically making fun of it. And it

320
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: was like, geez, dude, come on, and I just that

321
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: just made me so mad that and it still does.

322
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: That's going to come back. You can bet that that

323
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: little film clip of Taylor Lawan is going to come

324
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: back and be played night before the game when the

325
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: when the Bills are in Tennessee or wherever that game is.

326
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: I think it's in Tennessee again. Yeah, yeah, in Tennessee,

327
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: night before the game in the hotel team meeting, they'll

328
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: push the play button and they'll they'll run that little video.

329
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: Clear you better believe Bill's mof he is going to

330
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 1: show out for that game. Though, yes, last year our

331
00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: fan base couldn't travel. This year, Watch out, America, We're coming. Yeah.

332
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: And Nashville is a favorite, a favorite destination for a

333
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: lot of NFL teams to go in and visit Nashville

334
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: while there because it's a great little destination city. The

335
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: music of the nightlife is awesome, for food for a weekend,

336
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's one of the top bachelorette destinations

337
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: in the country. Is it's one of the top ones.

338
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: And it's just fun town to be in. It was

339
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: one of my favorite NFL cities to cover because the

340
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 1: restaurants are phenomenal, live music's phenomenal, very accessible. It's not

341
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: it's not an enormous city easy to get around in.

342
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: It's just great. And so Bill's fans showed up the

343
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: games I've done down there where the Bills were playing

344
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: with I remember twenty nineteen we played down there, and

345
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: I think our fans got there on like Thursday. I

346
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: started to see pictures come up on Twitter of like

347
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,479
Speaker 1: already tailgay parties and Bill's Mafia taken over the bars,

348
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: and I was just like you guys make me so proud.

349
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: Yeah it was. It's crazy. But so that's a that's

350
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: a game that will be big time attended and I

351
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: think some people might say that's the game I wanted

352
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: to win, a revenge game for what happened in COVID.

353
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 1: But then again he talked about revenge. It is the

354
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: Chiefs for me too. I mean, you want to I

355
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: remember the year after we lost the nineteen to eighty

356
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: eight championship game in Cincinnati. The Bengals came here and

357
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: they had no shot to win that game, no shot.

358
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: We were so mad that they took our chance to

359
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: win to go to the Super Bowl in nineteen eighty eight.

360
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: And yeah, there's a lot of layers that I've still

361
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: got some. I guess I've still got some, shall I?

362
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: You know? Shall I vent? During the regular season? This

363
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: is how it works, and this is how this is

364
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: how in tune players are. We're getting off the flight

365
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: for the last game of the season in Indianapolis to

366
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: play the Colts because they're in our division. We're playing

367
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: those guys the next day, and it looks like we're

368
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: gonna have Frank Reich playing. We're gonna have you know,

369
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: Kenny Davis is going to start at the game. Thurm

370
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: and Bruce jam On, all those guys are gonna sit

371
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: down because the last game we got home field wrapped

372
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: up or something out of the sort like that, and

373
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 1: that part of its fuzzy. But we're getting off the

374
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:12,719
Speaker 1: plane and we had a little radio antenna TV like

375
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: a handheld TV, which was big high tech back then,

376
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 1: right right, it's like fuzzy and stuff, and we're trying

377
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: to hold the antenna to keep track of the Cincinnati

378
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 1: Washington Redskin game because if Redskins win, we got home

379
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: field sewed up. We got it. If they lose, we don't.

380
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: And sure enough, Chip Lowmill or the kicker for the

381
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: Washington Redskins joints one off the upright and overtime they

382
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: don't win. Cincinnati wins, we lose home and field advantage.

383
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's so then we go on that we

384
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: have to go to Cincinnati. We lose that game in

385
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: Cincinnati to go to the Super Bowl or which would

386
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: have been the franchise first Super Bowl. So there you go. Yeah,

387
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: there's a little yes, you remember that kind of sting,

388
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: little sting. So I'm thinking the Bills are gonna load

389
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: it up for that Chiefs game. They've got to Yeah,

390
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 1: do you want them to pull out all the stops

391
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: in that game or do you want them to wait

392
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: for the playoffs. They've got enough stuff to pull out

393
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: two different things. I think you pull I think you

394
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: pull out all the stops every game if you want

395
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 1: to go, if you want to go and win that game,

396
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: if you want to win that game. Now, ever, the

397
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: stops would be different for every game because other every

398
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: team has different witnesses and vulnerabilities. But you can't really

399
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: start off the year vanilla at all because you play

400
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: the Steelers week one. No, you gotta win. You go

401
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: with your you go with guns blazing, You go in

402
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: firing on all cylinders, pulling out all the stops, facing punts,

403
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: fake and field goals, on surprise, on side, kicking it

404
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: just go. And I think this team is looking forward

405
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: to preseason. Some of the veterans are probably looking forward

406
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: to preseason for the first time ever. Absolutely, because I

407
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: remember hearing from the defensive line just week after week

408
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: when they couldn't really get things together in the first

409
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: half of the season, and they were kind of pointing

410
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: to you know, it might be because we didn't have preseason.

411
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: We didn't have those those couple of games, those four

412
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: games before the real season started to get things in

413
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: order with the new defensive line coach with a slew

414
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,479
Speaker 1: a new defensive lineman. Last year, they wanted to go

415
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 1: with a rotate them in like hockey lines. Almost you're rotating,

416
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: you're rotating, you're rotating, so you wear out the offensive

417
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: line quickly. And I think that's something that I mean,

418
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: our players have said it that the preseason is going

419
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: to help with this year, is to get some things down.

420
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 1: And yes, the veterans aren't going to play it a

421
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: lot of time in the three preseason games that we have,

422
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: but it is going to help out those fringe players.

423
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: It is going to help out to get some things

424
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: down from a lot of the new players who are

425
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: going to be accepted into a position group and are

426
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: going to play minutes that matter. Even those three short

427
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: weeks where you can get on the field for a

428
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: couple plays or for a quarter, I think it makes

429
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 1: a way bigger difference than our team realized it did. Yeah,

430
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: over the first, over the first over the three preseason games,

431
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: they'll get you know, the defensive starters they may only

432
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: get thirty snaps over those three games, ten a game

433
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: or so. It makes a difference. It matters, It makes

434
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: It does make a difference. Run fits are different when

435
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: you've got to fit into a violent pile rather than

436
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 1: you know, running you know, on a walk through. It

437
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: gets your mind right, It get your It gets you

438
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 1: ready to to you know, to flinch and to accept

439
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,239
Speaker 1: contact and deliver contact and to know what that's going

440
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: to feel like. Remember what that's like, Uh, be able

441
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: to study it on film. Yeah, it's huge, and I'm

442
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: sure the defensive side of the football is really going

443
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 1: to be improved this year in the early stage of

444
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: the season, unlike it was league wide last year where

445
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 1: teams struggled. I mean, teams were scoring so many points

446
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 1: last year. Last year NFL league wide, it was it

447
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: was the year to rack up that scoreboard. And they

448
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: did and the Bills did, and I think it worked

449
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: out great for offenses, but I think the defensive side

450
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 1: of the football really struggled to keep up because of

451
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: their lack of preparation and there and I think too

452
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of it. I'm I'm just gonna say

453
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 1: this out of the side of my mouth. I think

454
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 1: the officiating was kind of cod and COVID effected as well.

455
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: Those guys didn't want to touch the ball, you know

456
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 1: what I mean. You saw no measurements, you saw no

457
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: holding penalties, as let's just let's get this game done.

458
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 1: The spotting of the ball was almost always on the

459
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: yard line. I mean they never didn't. It's not on

460
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: the thirty three and a halfs on the thirty three

461
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: or the thirty four. Let's just put it on the

462
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: yard they did. I mean, the game went very fast

463
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: early on. There was very few stoppages, very few penalties,

464
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: and I think because they were not calling in particular

465
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: holding on the offensive line in the early going, quarterbacks

466
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: had a chance to stand back there a little bit

467
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: less perturbed and less disturbed, and offenses took off as

468
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 1: a result. So that may change this year. We'll see. So, yeah,

469
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: which game do you think the Buffalo Bills need to

470
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,479
Speaker 1: win the most? You can give us a call here

471
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 1: at an eight oh three h five fifty. We would

472
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 1: love to discuss with you. We'll probably agree with you,

473
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: we might not agree with you. But I mean, all

474
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 1: of the options that we're given in our tweets, they're

475
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,719
Speaker 1: all really great games, and there is a reason for

476
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 1: each one of those to be the most important game

477
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 1: to win on this schedule. So we can dip into

478
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: our tweet sheet, which is brought to you by the

479
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: Corgan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the

480
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Will start first with Rachel Clark. She says,

481
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: we have to beat the Chiefs, not because we can't

482
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 1: make the playoffs without beating them, but because if they

483
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: beat us three times in a row, they're going to

484
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: start to seem like a kryptonite. Like Lamar Jackson said,

485
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: That's kind of what I was getting into there, the

486
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: mental aspect of letting a team beat you three times

487
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: in a row, and then you kind of get to

488
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: think in like, oh, is this impossible. I do think

489
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: our locker room is mature enough to not believe something

490
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: like that, and our coaching staff would not let those

491
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: guys go there, or would try to not let the

492
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: team go there. But yeah, I believe there's an aspect

493
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: of that in there. So beating them for the first

494
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: time in week four would be and week five would

495
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: be a It was a nice way to set up

496
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 1: the first half of the season, and you can imagine two,

497
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 1: if the Bills beat the Chiefs in Week four, the

498
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,239
Speaker 1: entire league would you know, everybody's gonna be watching these

499
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: two teams anyway. They're gonna be on primetime, they're gonna

500
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: be winning games and all that. So if the Bills

501
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 1: do beat the Chiefs in Week four, it sets up

502
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: for a collision in the playoffs, and everybody's gonna be

503
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: looking forward to. It puts something out there on the

504
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: horizon for the entire league and the entire conference to say, okay,

505
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 1: those two teams, you know that. It For one, it

506
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: says the Chiefs now can be had to everybody, to

507
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: the Chargers, to the Raiders, Yeah, guys, you can get

508
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: those guys. Let's go get you a pass rush. And

509
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: also at the other end of it, the Bills will

510
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: be saying the now they're the team. Now, Now, this

511
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 1: is their year. This is you got to go through

512
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo now, um, And that's that's a that's a shift.

513
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean the Chiefs all of a sudden are

514
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: gonna stink, but it does put a crack in a

515
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: in their in their aura around them that says, you know,

516
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: we can beat them. If the Bills can get them,

517
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: we can let's go. Um It's really it does shift things.

518
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: And I think that would be probably one of the

519
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: most interesting victories the Bills could have because it would

520
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: throw the entire conference into like up for grabs, right,

521
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: you'd have you know, the Raiders and the Chargers they

522
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: would and the Broncos they would all think, okay, we

523
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: can you know, now our divisions back in play. Those

524
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: guys can be beat. And for Buffalo, it's like, Okay,

525
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: everybody in the whole conference knows this. If you want

526
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 1: to go to the super Bowl this year, you gotta

527
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: get through us. Baby. You come up here in January,

528
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: Let's see if you can get that done. That's big

529
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: Chili gives me. Yeah, that gives me. It makes me chilly,

530
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: gives me shivers. Yeah. So it's that game whole carries

531
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: a lot of baggage with it and a lot of

532
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of prizes. They're just from a from

533
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: one w I think what's gonna be tough to do

534
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: in that Week five matchup against the Chiefs. It's gonna

535
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: be tough to like simmer and have that it's just

536
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: another week, one game at a time. That game, it

537
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: is not one did I almost did a spit take

538
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: just one? Just another game? Come on, that ain't. The

539
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: entire team knows that's not just another game. Oh forget it.

540
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: You can tell the media that, but deep down inside,

541
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: we know what you're already thinking. Yeah, that ain't teams

542
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: Week five, it's not. It's not just another game. It's

543
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: another game. That would that might elicten, that might elicit

544
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: a laugh from the media if they're in person, like

545
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: they were in the media room where Jean McDermot stands

546
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: up in front of all the media members live. If

547
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: they're back in there and he says it's just another game,

548
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: you'll get some chuckles. You've got Come on, man, that

549
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: is not just another game. That's funny, But you're right

550
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: that game. Think about if those two teams come into

551
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: that game undefeated we were, we will be beside ourselves.

552
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: We will be beside ourselves with that game. It's gonna

553
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: be a game that everyone in this town and beyond

554
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: is looking forward to. Tiffany Daniel says, winning the home

555
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: opener and sending the Steelers and their towel waving fans

556
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: home with convincing law sounds like a great way to

557
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: start a championship run. She's right with you with some

558
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: of the points that you made about Week one and

559
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: why it's so important to set the season off on

560
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: on the right right note. There's nothing like winning the

561
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: opener and get set you off your right. It gives

562
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: you a sense that you're doing some things right. And

563
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:36,479
Speaker 1: there's always that doubt name before the season starts and

564
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: the Steelers are they're good. You got to think they're

565
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: a good football team. They're gonna have a better run

566
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: game this year, that's for sure. That's what they were

567
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: lacking with last year. And there are they go into

568
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: the draft and get a running back. There are not

569
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: that many guys in the NFL right now who you

570
00:30:54,560 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: can say or a Hall of Famer right now before

571
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: they retire. Brady Rogers and Ben Roethlisberg, you know, and

572
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: there may be another one I'm not thinking of, you know,

573
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: but you know, maybe what I don't know, Matt Stafford,

574
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. But those guys, yeah, those guys maybe

575
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: first ballot guys. Brady of course, Rogers, Yeah, probably Ben.

576
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: Those guys are like rubber stamp and so, and you're

577
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: gonna get a shot at him on opening day. He

578
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: gives them a chance. I don't care if he's sixty

579
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: five years old that he's there because he can sling

580
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: it and he's a lot of he's a different guy,

581
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: even he's a different than than Josh is now, even

582
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: when he was young, because he didn't run to run,

583
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: but he could extend plays like nobody else, and his

584
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: ball placement and his ability to throw the ball and

585
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: extend plays and start to play schoolyard football that won

586
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: him a world championship. His ability to do that. He

587
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: would ever snap off a forty yard run like Josh does,

588
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: but he'd make a play go six seconds, seven seconds

589
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,479
Speaker 1: into the play before he let release the ball, and

590
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: that's impossible to defend. So and he's also like six

591
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: five six six tall, and he weighs two hundred and

592
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: fifty pounds and just he's just like Josh, you can

593
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: kind of fend guys off. So, you know, Ben Roethlisberger

594
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: may this point in his career, maybe what you're looking

595
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: at here in Buffalo in fifteen years with Josh ability

596
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: to me to still sling it um it just doesn't

597
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: run it like he did that you're getting him on

598
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: opening day and it's not too many times this season. Well,

599
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: it's those those three, it's Ben Tom Brady, probably Mahomes

600
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: if he if his can you know, if his career

601
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: continues like this, he'll be obviously a Hall of Famer.

602
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's a it's a great chance to play

603
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: against one of those guys. Time for a first break.

604
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: When we come back, we're going to continue the conversation

605
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: about which game on the schedule you think the Buffalo

606
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: Bills need to win the most. Give us a call

607
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,760

611
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: day is which game do you think the Buffalo Bills

612
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: need to win most on their schedule? Is it the

613
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: Chiefs just because it's the Chiefs, Bucks and Brady Week one,

614
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: Steelers Patriots, Monday Night Football, Titans revenge game, Saints on

Speaker 1: Saints on Thanksgiving? Or is it other for you? Is

00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: this some random game that you're like, they have to

617

Speaker 1: win this one because X y Z give us call

618

619
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: us why you think this game is the most important

620
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: and why. We'll go back into the tweet sheet, which

621
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official

622
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. Let's go down

623
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: to kJ. They say, if I were to rank them,

624
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: I'd say home opener first, then Chiefs, then Tampa Bay, Titans, Patriots,

625
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: Saints due to non conference. I get the non conference

626
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: aspect of that a little bit, you know, Bucks, Saints,

627
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: home opener first, Chiefs, Tampa Bay. It's a good list. Yeah,

628
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: that's pretty You can rank comment like that if if

629
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: you like, that's makes some good sense because they are

630
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: They're all important. I mean, let's face it, in the

631
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 1: Bill we all believe and most most people around the

632
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: league believe Bills are gonna win a ton of games.

633
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: And if you're going to rank the one that was

634
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: is the sweetest, a lot of times you kind of

635
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: have to wait till the game happens before you think

636
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: that was a good one. You know, Um, there's there's

637
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: been a couple of them. Even last year the Bills

638
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: beat the Rams in Orchard Park here and I think

639
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: only as he got further and further away from that game,

640
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: do you think, wow that we beat that team. The

641
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: Seahawk game as well, Russ Wilson came into the to

642
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:29,760
Speaker 1: that game front running to the MVP, and he left

643
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 1: and that was it for him. A couple of those

644
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: wins didn't become significant until later on you get into

645
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,720
Speaker 1: and you know, and for instance, we go to forty

646
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: nine ers on a Monday night and you beat those

647
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: guys handily, but they were so in they were injured,

648
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: they didn't have it wasn't really the same team. So

649
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: that game kind of lost its significance in the big

650
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: scheme of things. The Denver game, going out to Denver

651
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: and lumping them up even it was a blowout win,

652
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: and that was kind because you know, that kind of

653
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: show that it was a kind of a flex Yeah right,

654
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: you know, you think we're not that good, you think

655
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: this is all a fluke. Check this out? And I

656
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: think what forty six on those guys, I mean, it

657
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 1: was it was unbelievable. That game. That was really the

658
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: game that the Bills said, you know, take you know,

659
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: take that forty eight. There's forty eight to nineteen. They

660
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:26,399
Speaker 1: beat the Broncos and then of course, the thirty eight

661
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: to nine win over the Patriots on Monday Night the

662
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: next week, for a lot of Bills fans, I think

663
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: that's going to hold a lot of significance depend and

664
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna be affected by the game subsequent to this

665
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,320
Speaker 1: as long as Bill Belichick is there. But if it

666
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: evens it out and the Bills start doing to the

667
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: Patriots what the Patriots have done with the Bills for

668
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: so long, that may be the game that says, oh, Okay,

669
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: this is it. Because even the punch out game early

670
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: in the season by Justin Zimmer, when the Bills did

671
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: win that game twenty four to twenty one, it was like, oh,

672
00:36:58,080 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: they're still tough to beat. I don't even even with

673
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: Cam Newton not even been able to throw it, they

674
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: almost beat us. Then there was no doubt in the

675
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 1: Monday Night game that it was two different teams. Then

676
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: Tim h says, from a playoff seating perspective, I'd say

677
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: Chiefs first, then Titans. NFC games against Brady and on

678
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: Turkey Day are nice, but less of an impact when

679
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: it comes to playoff seating. He's definitely right if you're

680
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: going by playoff seating. If you're you're going by playoff perspective,

681
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 1: then yeah, Chiefs and Titans should be on your list there,

682
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:37,919
Speaker 1: that's true. Yeah, so should the Sea they carry some weight, Yeah, Steelers, Titans, Chiefs. Absolutely,

683
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: you're going by division, but the Pots, the Patriots and

684
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: the Dolphins games are really really important. You're gonna see

685
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: we mentioned this yesterday. The Bills play the Dolphins twice

686
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: and they're done with them before they ever see the

687
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:57,919
Speaker 1: Patriots of the Jets, so that will be taking care

688
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: of pretty quickly. It will be very interesting to see

689
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: what the Dolphins and what the Patriots look like after

690
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 1: this season. I think it's going to take both teams

691
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 1: maybe a couple of weeks to figures and things out.

692
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: But there's so many question marks around each team. But

693
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: if those question marks can get answered and get answered

694
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: earlier and in the way that those teams want them to,

695
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,919
Speaker 1: it could be a tough division this year. I mean,

696
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,479
Speaker 1: we know the Jets. The Jets are still a couple

697
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: years away. I think the Jets are headed in the

698
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 1: right direction. But you look at the offseason, the free agency,

699
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 1: the draft, every single team got better. And you said

700
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: yesterday or earlier this week, you know every team thinks

701
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: they got better. At this point in the off season,

702
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 1: everyone thinks they took a step forward. Now we'll see

703
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: when Week one happens. Who are those teams that truly

704
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 1: took a step forward. I think I was talking with

705
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: Cynthia Freeland when she was on our podcast last time,

706
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 1: and she was like, think about it. AFC East, It's

707
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 1: gonna be a really good division in three to four years.

708
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: The Bills are already there. The Patriots they got to

709
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 1: fix a couple of things. But if they if mac

710
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 1: Jones is the right decision for them, they're there. If

711
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 1: Tua is the guy and he just needed a couple

712
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 1: more pieces around him, you have that defense, they're there.

713
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 1: Salah and Zach Wilson, and I think the mindset that

714
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: he's putting into that locker room that lacked that for

715
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: so long, they'll be there. In three or four years.

716
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: This can be It could be a bloodbath down the road. Yeah,

717
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be really rough. And if particularly when you

718
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 1: got if mac Jones is the guy in New England

719
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: going forward, got a really young crop of quarterbacks. Josh

720
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: would be the oldest one at twenty five. Yes, that's

721
00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: you know that spells a really compet group. Um. The

722
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: thing that's the thing is interesting is Bill Belichick's going

723
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: to be seventy. I don't know how how long does

724
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: he want to do this. You know he'll want to

725
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: be He'll do it just because it's his lifestyle. Right.

726
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: I think he has said earlier in his career that

727
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: I can't see myself doing this. Is said like like

728
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: Marv Levy did. Marv was a seventy year old head coach.

729
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: He goes, I can't see myself doing that. That's you

730
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: gotta do something else now, he said, I don't know.

731
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: I kind of like it. Who just signed a nice

732
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: extension in college football? Nick stab I think of those

733
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: two insane? Right, So there he's not going anywhere. But

734
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: you know you've got Brian Flores, Sean McDermott, Robert Sala,

735
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: and then Bill Belichick the other three guys, you know,

736
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: McDermott and Brian Flores. So they're all kind of young,

737
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: right guys. Right. Um, Yeah, if if all these three

738
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: or four of these teams hit on their decisions of

739
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: this offseason, yeah they're going to be And so many

740
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 1: things have to go right for you to hit. And

741
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 1: you could think you hit right now, like a lot

742
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: of teams do, but we'll wait and see right. But

743
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: you can hit right and still be wrong because now

744
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: next year the guy blows his knee or breaks his

745
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: ankle and the preseason it's like, you know, so then

746
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: you're not right all of a sudden, or you were right,

747
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: but it's not going to help you. Yeah, there's a

748
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: lot of unpredictables in this game. But yeah, she's right.

749
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you're right. It could be a really, really

750
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: tough division for a lot of years. It's like the

751
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: Bills got a year, they got two years maybe, or

752
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: they can kind of take a little breather well before

753
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: it gets really intense again. All Right, we're gonna take

754
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,359
Speaker 1: another break. But when we come back, we'll keep discussing

755
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: some of these games on the schedule. Which one the

756
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: Bills need to win most. Give us a call, tune

757
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: into the conversation. Eight oh three five fifty one. Bills

760
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: And it's the time of the year, the time of

761
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: the summer where there's not a whole lot of news

762
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: breaking right now for the NFL. I mean things are

763
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: coming out. Yeah, you're talking about players who still don't

764
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: have a team and guys who are wanting contract extension

765
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: this summer and so those things are going on. But

766
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 1: this is this is the dead time of the year.

767
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: But we do have some news on what could be

768
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 1: happening for the NFL Combine for years to come. And

769
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: we know that it's been an indie for several years.

770
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: It's like thirty six the past thirty four years, and

771
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 1: the streak could possibly end after next year. Yeah, we're

772
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: going to discuss this at length here coming up at

773
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: one o'clock. So the league announced that they might put

774
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: it up for bid. Like the draft. You know, the

775
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: draft is in Chicago, it was in Philly, it was

776
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, it was in where else was it. It

777
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 1: was in gosh, I don't even know. I can't remember.

778
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: There's been around anyway, So it's been around. And they're

779
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: gonna do the same thing with the draft with the combine,

780
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 1: with the Combine, not the draft. They did with the draft.

781
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: They're doing it with the Combine. So they could take

782
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 1: the take it to from Indianapolis, they could take it

783
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 1: to Houston or to Buffalo, to Cleveland or any of

784
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 1: these cities, Atlanta. They could take it anywhere and have

785
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: the combine be a moving circles, traveling circus, so to speak,

786
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: like like the draft is, and put it up for bid.

787
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 1: The problem is this, and see what you think, mat Well,

788
00:43:57,719 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: we'll get into this, you know, at the top of

789
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,919
Speaker 1: the hour, but that it may go out to bid.

790
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,280
Speaker 1: So your city could say, okay, we'll have the NFL

791
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: combine like you could like Columbus, Ohio could get it,

792
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: you know, or Tuscaloosa or College Station, you know, San Antonio,

793
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: any of these the medium sized cities or any other

794
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 1: NFL city could have teams come in and run the combine.

795
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,879
Speaker 1: There that combines about tooth really about one thing. It's

796
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: about the medical aspect of these players. Are they healthy?

797
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 1: What are there other injuries? Because to get to the

798
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: different you know, go to Division one, you've played a

799
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 1: lot of football and practiced a lot of football, which

800
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: means you've probably been nicked up a little bit here

801
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: and there, and they want to find out what is

802
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: We heard it this year there were a bunch of

803
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: players who I don't know, this guy, you know, this

804
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: guy's been injured, what's gonna do? So that's really important.

805
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: That's what the combine is really about. Because once you

806
00:44:56,200 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 1: get them in and another thing is as well. And

807
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,399
Speaker 1: it sounds a little bit like football one on one,

808
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: it's really true. They want to sit down and talk

809
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: to the guy. I want to sit down and look

810
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: him in the eye, say, okay, what about this? What

811
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: do you you know? Where'd you come from? How you

812
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, how you feel about this? What's a team

813
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: mean to you? What's being a good teammate mean to you?

814
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 1: What's being you know? What do you want out of football?

815
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 1: You know? They want to sit down and talk to

816
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 1: these guys and find out if you know they're space

817
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 1: aliens or if they're the kind of guy you know

818
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: you invite home to the family. They want to know.

819
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: So it's those two things. It's the medical and the

820
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: interviews that are really crucial at the combine. The on

821
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: field stuff is Junior Olympics. I mean, they're in gym

822
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:47,359
Speaker 1: shorts and they're you know, come on, you got high

823
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: school kids that could do run through the combine physically,

824
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: and some of them I measure up. I mean, it's

825
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: just it's nothing. It's sitting down with them and the

826
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:01,760
Speaker 1: medical so you can have you can do that anywhere, literally,

827
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: so why not? Why not? You know? They said? On

828
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: Wednesday morning, the NFL said it's accepting bids from franchises

829
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: that would like to host the five day event for

830
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 1: each year from twenty twenty three to twenty twenty eight,

831
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: So they'd have to put in a multi year bid

832
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: and see who bit a multi year so you have

833
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 1: to they're going to do it a different city each

834
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,800
Speaker 1: of those years, or one city in those all five years.

835
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 1: I believe one city in those all in all five years.

836
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 1: Is that what it seems like? Okay, that's okay, here's

837
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 1: all right. Tons of questions that we can get to

838
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: it after the thing. But what would that look like

839
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 1: for a city? What would they get out of it?

840
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: Why would they bid on it? Why is it important?

841
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: And why doesn't Why is the league doing this obviously

842
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,439
Speaker 1: for cash? Right? I don't know. Well, we'll see, we'll see.

843
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's how about the combine in Buffalo?

844
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: Where to be right here? Right? Yeah? I mean you

845
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: would have to host it and somewhere that had enough space. Yeah,

846
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 1: they got it, I mean I could greed. They got all,

847
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 1: they got oodles of space out here. Yeah, that's interesting.

848
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 1: Would you want it to be somewhere warm since its

849
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: end of January early in February, early March. Yeah, it's

850
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: not great here. That's interesting. I don't know what Indie.

851
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 1: All those buildings are connected. Yeah, it's a big conventions.

852
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: I really like Indie because it's all connected together. If

853
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 1: I was going to a combine, I want everything to

854
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 1: be in one central place, and you have to have

855
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: space to do it. You can't just have like two

856
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: field houses and be like where do I make this work?

857
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 1: Thirty two teams have to have their own meeting rooms. Um,

858
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: you have to have multiple fields to be able to

859
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 1: do the drills that these guys are doing. You have

860
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 1: to have a warm up field. You have to have

861
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: the the most important part, the medical side of it.

862
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: You have to have somewhere where they can go to.

863
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 1: That's probably not too far so all these kids can

864
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 1: get all of that done. So I don't know if

865
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: every single team could be like yep, we can definitely

866
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:19,840
Speaker 1: host most of them could though. I mean, yeah, the

867
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 1: weather would be an issue if you can't get outside

868
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: warm up or whatever. But you know, even this field

869
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: house here with the weight room, the new weight room,

870
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: and the extra extra meeting rooms they have, all that

871
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: stuff is available, would would make you could make it work.

872
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: Most NFL teams have a facility somewhat like the Bills

873
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: do here, although you know there's obviously each one is unique.

874
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 1: The Jets and Giants in New Jersey have phenomenal facilities

875
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 1: that Baltimore Ravens have it, the Atlanta Falcons have it.

876
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: These are all teams I'm thinking about that. I've been

877
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: to Kansas City, Chiefs have it. Obviously, Indianapolis there's a

878
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 1: couple who I would like go. No, I don't know, Carolina.

879
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if that would work down there in

880
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: their practice, in the way they practice. Because some of

881
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 1: these Southern teams don't have a fieldhouse. They got a

882
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 1: bubble like an old time like the Dolphins. Yeah, they've

883
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: just they got a half a field. It's you can't

884
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:15,280
Speaker 1: use that. Tennessee, same thing. They got their facilities not great.

885
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: Um Houston probably you could make that work because they

886
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:22,840
Speaker 1: close the stadium, you know, and you could do it

887
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,399
Speaker 1: all on grass. Think about local colleges that are near

888
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,879
Speaker 1: that have just as much space to work with two

889
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: and that's what I was thinking too. You think about

890
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:31,439
Speaker 1: it if if there was a city they really wanted

891
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 1: to do that and draw attention to it. You placed

892
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: like Columbus or Alabama or Clemson. They got some facilities there.

893
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: Penn State's got those kind of facilities all the sea.

894
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: A lot of the SEC schools, even Mississippi State's got

895
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 1: really nice ones. I mean, you got to Starksville in

896
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:48,399
Speaker 1: the middle of nowhere, you could They've got great There's

897
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:51,880
Speaker 1: these the SEC and they've got and they've got some

898
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:58,240
Speaker 1: great facilities these colleges. Team still think about the recruiting

899
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 1: tool that would be for university to have the NFL

900
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 1: Combine at its facility and get showcased like that nationally. Yeah,

901
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: I mean that that was the case last year when

902
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:12,359
Speaker 1: the NFL Scouting Combine didn't happen and you had all

903
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 1: these big SEC schools who had Pro Days and it

904
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 1: was on TV. I mean, what a recruiting tool for

905
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:21,279
Speaker 1: all those big schools to be able to host a

906
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 1: pro day that was bigger than life because of COVID nineteen. Yeah,

907
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,280
Speaker 1: there's a lot of there's a lot in this we

908
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:30,439
Speaker 1: can we can talk about it more after the break

909
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: and also we want to get them tweet sheets as well. So, um,

910
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:36,839
Speaker 1: yeah that I'm fascinated by this because it's a it

911
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 1: marks and it's a signal that the league is still growing,

912
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,359
Speaker 1: you know, even after COVID, the league is starting to

913
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: flex a little bit and offer this up. That's I

914
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 1: think it's huge. Yeah, we'll be right back with more

915
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:53,640

00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:31,240
Speaker 1: kind of a dual role player for Sta Stave a blimp.

923
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 1: We're not even in the strategies of normalcy. Welcome into

924
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 1: hour two of one Bills Live on this Thursday afternoon.

925
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:46,720
Speaker 1: Mattie Glavin, Steve Tasker here giving you all the info

926
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 1: on the Buffalo Bills in the NFL. We were just

927
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 1: talking about the possibility of the scouting combine moving out

928
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 1: of Indie after twenty twenty two, So it's going to

929
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:01,799
Speaker 1: be an indie this upcoming year after the season, but

930
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: after that, who knows where it could be. The NFL

931
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 1: reached out to all thirty two franchises and said, hey,

932
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:13,839
Speaker 1: if you guys want to host it, we are accepting bids.

933
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 1: What's a bid looked like? I wonder, you know, I think,

934
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,240
Speaker 1: does the city come up with a package and hotel

935
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:22,399
Speaker 1: rooms and make stuff available to them or just give

936
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 1: them big check? You know what I mean? The problem

937
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 1: is this, I don't know what revenue for a city

938
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 1: would be generated by doing that. Here you go. The

939
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 1: article says recent figures weren't immediately immediately available, but in

940
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:43,319
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, local hospitality officials estimated the combine generated an

941
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: economic impact of eight point four million and provided up

942
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,400
Speaker 1: to ten million in media exposure for the city. That

943
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 1: included more than one hundred hours of TV coverage on

944
00:52:55,480 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 1: NFL network, at ESPN, at ABC, etc. Is the NFL's

945
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: second highest count when you talk about credential media behind

946
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. So you bring you bring in some

947
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 1: revenue better than none, you know, better than an average

948
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 1: weekend at the end of February going into March, right

949
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:21,360
Speaker 1: I get it. So it's not gonna be like one

950
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,919
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars package that the city comes

951
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:29,280
Speaker 1: out with for the Super Bowl. No, but not quite that. Okay,

952
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 1: now here's my question though, Maddie. So you're so you

953
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:36,239
Speaker 1: and I no big Bills fans. Right, we were invested

954
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:41,839
Speaker 1: in the team. We got a chance in the Combine's

955
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:46,760
Speaker 1: gonna be let's say, let's say Cleveland or Buffalo, Cleveland, Pittsburgh,

956
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 1: one of those driving and we're gonna go down, right,

957
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:54,319
Speaker 1: what are we gonna get for our trip? What are

958
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:56,800
Speaker 1: we gonna what's gonna do you even want to go to?

959
00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:00,359
Speaker 1: We wanted to go to the combine? What's drawing us there?

960
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 1: Why are we going to? Maybe? What? Hey? Unfortunately maybe

961
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 1: the Bills got first pick of the draft, say early

962
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 1: draft pick, high draft. We had the first guy. If

963
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 1: you just really like college fout college prospects, really like

964
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,839
Speaker 1: college football? Are you in a pool where you if

965
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:18,800
Speaker 1: you can pick the first five picks of the draft

966
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 1: in order the right team, you win something so you

967
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 1: can go down to look at I mean, what are

968
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: you doing? Why? Why are fans and why are cities

969
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 1: gonna bid for this? Hoping to entice fans to come

970
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,400
Speaker 1: in and what else can you do to make it

971
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 1: worth it? That's the question, right they have like what

972
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 1: they have that fan fest that in twenty nineteen when

973
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: we were there, we had our radio set up and

974
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 1: then there's that fan fest area right in front of

975
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:52,959
Speaker 1: radio row. I guess you could call it where people

976
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: could come in and they could kind of go through

977
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 1: the Combine events. That was an indie I wasn't was

978
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 1: I you were there. I have pictures of you and

979
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 1: MURFH and me. I don't know what we what was

980
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 1: a fan fest thing? I don't even remember. Maybe it

981
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:11,719
Speaker 1: was Brownie and MURFH were there. I was there. You

982
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 1: were there, I was there. I've been to one Combine.

983
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:15,760
Speaker 1: I remember they're going to the super Bowl in Atlanta

984
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: and then we went to the Combine as well. It

985
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:21,799
Speaker 1: was in and we were in that room as Yeah,

986
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:25,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. We were right next to uh Arizona

987
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 1: the whole week. Well, here's the thing. I don't remember

988
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 1: anything about the fans being there or being interested in it.

989
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:33,360
Speaker 1: There was only a couple days the fans could come in,

990
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:37,840
Speaker 1: so they came in and you had like your forty

991
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,319
Speaker 1: yard dash you had your bench and you could kind

992
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:42,399
Speaker 1: of go through some of the things and you could

993
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 1: you know, take pictures, do all that, and then you

994
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:49,239
Speaker 1: could sit in the stands. The risers that they put

995
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 1: up I think for bench was over in our area

996
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,320
Speaker 1: where we were, so you could watch some of the things.

997
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 1: You couldn't watch everything. I remember they had the bench

998
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:01,320
Speaker 1: bart behind us, and around the back they had like

999
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:03,839
Speaker 1: the podium set up for the players to stand there

1000
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 1: and do interviews. And then around the corner there where

1001
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 1: the podiums were set up, you had like NFL network

1002
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 1: was set up, you had had different production different production

1003
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 1: companies set up. Yeah, series Buffalo, Philly, New York. Yeah, Yeah,

1004
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 1: all of all the radio stations from around the country

1005
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:23,360
Speaker 1: were there for their teams. But what's in it for

1006
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:28,280
Speaker 1: the fans? I would say, unless you're like not unless

1007
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 1: you're super football geek nerd who just like loves studying

1008
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:35,800
Speaker 1: prospects and loves seeing what they do at the combine

1009
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:38,279
Speaker 1: those most of those people are like you and me.

1010
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 1: We work we work for the teams. Yeah, what is he?

1011
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 1: All right? So what are what is safe? What would

1012
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 1: we have Buffalo say, for instance, we're gonna get killer

1013
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 1: with it, it's gonna be awesome weather, say right, awesome weather.

1014
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:53,879
Speaker 1: It gonna be awesome weather the end of February into Yeah,

1015
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be awesome with What else do you

1016
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 1: sprinkle it in there? With? What you get? The Niagara

1017
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:05,640
Speaker 1: Falls chip? What's what? Hockey? If your team's still playing,

1018
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 1: you could make sure a hockey game is on that

1019
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:11,880
Speaker 1: weekend or whatever. People go to hockey. Why would fans

1020
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:15,880
Speaker 1: or a city put a bit in for the combine?

1021
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 1: How are they gonna make that a destination? That's the question.

1022
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 1: I think your warmer weather team says have an easier

1023
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 1: time of doing that. That's the way it always is.

1024
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 1: That's fine. Okay, what are they gonna do? Having at

1025
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: the beach in Miami? Having at Vegas, you have a

1026
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 1: lot of things you can do. That's a good point

1027
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 1: by you Vegas, Miamis, go to the beach. What else

1028
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 1: like La La the new stadium so far? Yeah, okay,

1029
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 1: Raiders have a new stadium, Raiders so far those new stadiums.

1030
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 1: Dallas is a great spot. You know, they could always

1031
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:52,440
Speaker 1: have it at Dallas, that you could have it all

1032
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 1: in one place there that you'd have it a Jerry world,

1033
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: that you can run the forty yard dashes in the

1034
00:57:56,400 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 1: concourse from that place. From perspective of being a player

1035
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 1: who's going to be at the combine or being a

1036
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 1: coach who's going to be their scout. The fact that

1037
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 1: it's India is such a central location for everybody. That's nothing,

1038
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 1: that's not that's that's whatever. It's irrelevant because everybody flies there. Yeah,

1039
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 1: who if it's it would be better if it was

1040
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, because every every major airline in the world

1041
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 1: flies right into Denver. Same thing, got an enormous airport Chicago,

1042
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 1: fly right in Chicago, fly right in, so that the destiny,

1043
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 1: the place, the geographic spot is irrelevant. Everybody flies in

1044
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 1: their end, and most of them fly private. The coaches

1045
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:42,439
Speaker 1: and the gms, they're all they're all wheels up whenever

1046
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 1: they want to, wheels up right, So, yeah, you can,

1047
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: And that's why you could have it. You could have

1048
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 1: it in places like Starksville, Mississippi, and and Columbus, Ohio,

1049
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 1: and Clemson, South Carolina and all these you know these

1050
00:58:54,920 --> 00:59:00,120
Speaker 1: college places, you know, UCLA, USC Washington or and you

1051
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 1: could have it at those places, and that'd be an

1052
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 1: enormous recruiting tool. And I think that right there, I

1053
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 1: don't think the NFL will allow that. They're just going

1054
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:13,800
Speaker 1: to do it in NFL cities. If that, if the

1055
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 1: check clears, they will do it in Starksville, Mississippi. Yes

1056
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:26,919
Speaker 1: they would know. If yes, there ain't nothing, I don't care.

1057
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 1: It's even better for that. There's a good golf course there.

1058
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 1: You've got about four bars and two restaurants and you've

1059
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,840
Speaker 1: got a nice golf course. And that's what more do

1060
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 1: you need. So I'm saying, if the if the money's right,

1061
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 1: the NFL say, all right, we'll we'll put it in Wichita, Kansas. Oh,

1062
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 1: let's go. Do I have to go to the Combine

1063
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 1: this year? We'll be yeah, we'll be taking our vacations. Right.

1064
00:59:57,200 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 1: But that's what you're looking that. I think if you

1065
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 1: get a team like the you know, Oklahoma or whatever, Missouri, yeah,

1066
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 1: well we'll do We got the facilities, let's do it,

1067
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 1: and we're gonna showcase our place. We'll give you a check.

1068
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 1: We got some we got some boosters that'll write the check.

1069
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 1: T Boone Pickens will bring you to Oklahoma. And there

1070
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 1: you go. That that's now you said, and maybe that

1071
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 1: maybe the league is saying, no, no, it's got to

1072
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 1: be an NFL city. That's what it says in this

1073
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 1: in this article, I don't know if they reached out

1074
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:31,120
Speaker 1: to the thirty two franchises. Doesn't say they reached out

1075
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:36,120
Speaker 1: to SEC. Could be packed twenty could let's we're gonna

1076
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 1: go to South Bend, Indiana. We gonna do it in

1077
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. M hmm. It's gonna be an NFL city.

1078
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 1: Could be. I mean it probably will be to begin with.

1079
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 1: But they're gonna get some if it goes. If it

1080
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 1: grows like the combine, like everything else the draft. If

1081
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: like everything else that the league does, it grows, college

1082
01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 1: the college towns, they get their pro day. That's enough. No,

1083
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 1: none of these big SEC schools need any more advantages

1084
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:09,040
Speaker 1: to recruiting than they already have. If it's in Tuscaloosa,

1085
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:16,200
Speaker 1: I will throw up. Alabama doesn't need any more exposure Columbus.

1086
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 1: Columbus is a cool place. Here's the other thing, the

1087
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: social aspect of the scouting combine. There's gotta be some

1088
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 1: good restaurants. There's gotta be some good bars. I'll bet

1089
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 1: you can find some. I mean, we found it in Indianapolis,

1090
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:36,640
Speaker 1: so you can find it anywhere. We keep talking about Starksville.

1091
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:41,280
Speaker 1: I know there's moonshine is Starksville, Oh my gosh, moonshine

1092
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:46,000
Speaker 1: and Tennessee too. Here you go, burb Tennessee, Whiskey, there's

1093
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 1: a lot of you can do moonshine tasting for free.

1094
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 1: And there you go. There's I'm I'm saying, Okay, there's

1095
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:59,440
Speaker 1: nothing about the Combine that anybody outside of anybody who

1096
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:03,200
Speaker 1: is not making a paycheck from the NFL. There's nothing

1097
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 1: outside of the combine or about the Combine that would

1098
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 1: entice anybody to show up unless you live five minutes away. Right. Yeah,

1099
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:14,840
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a warm weather team

1100
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 1: or it's gonna be the Colts again, because the Colts

1101
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:20,920
Speaker 1: know how to do it. The Colts really still want

1102
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:22,880
Speaker 1: to host it, so they're going to put the money

1103
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 1: up to be able to host it again. I would

1104
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: not be surprised if either of those two things happen.

1105
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's you know, Tampa Bay, Jacksonville, Miami,

1106
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 1: New Orleans would be a great place. The Dome would

1107
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:38,480
Speaker 1: be a great place to host it. Yeah, Bourbon Street there,

1108
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 1: that'd be an enticement. That's a destination city. Dallas, La, Arizona, Phoenix,

1109
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:51,800
Speaker 1: Scottsdale area, that's a great spot. Even Denver. Denver's a

1110
01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:55,600
Speaker 1: great city. It's a very sneaky fun city, you know that, right,

1111
01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 1: I mean, Denver is a great town. There's a ton

1112
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 1: of them from from that line across that Mason Dixon

1113
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:05,680
Speaker 1: kind of lined them from Kansas City south. If it's

1114
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 1: in Denver, I'll go snowboarding even a couple days after. Yeah,

1115
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 1: even Washington, DC. Yeah, if it's in March April. Yeah,

1116
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 1: there's still big time skiing in April out there. So

1117
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 1: but why and what kind of bid I mean, think

1118
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:25,240
Speaker 1: about that. If you're saying that eight million dollar economic impact,

1119
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 1: right or ten million dollar economic impact? Right? Or was

1120
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:31,440
Speaker 1: an eight million economic and ten million advertising? It was

1121
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:37,480
Speaker 1: eight million economic and ten million in advertising. Okay, so

1122
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:41,439
Speaker 1: it's an eighteen million dollar bump. Let me just point

1123
01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 1: this out, maddie. Eighteen million dollars. The NFL is a

1124
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 1: rounding error. That's not even a long that's not even

1125
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:55,240
Speaker 1: a long weekend in Vegas for a handful of the owners. Thing, right,

1126
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:59,080
Speaker 1: must be nice? Right, it is, It's gotta be That's

1127
01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:02,480
Speaker 1: not even you know, some of these guys drop a

1128
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 1: big percentage of that in Vegas when their team's playing

1129
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:12,000
Speaker 1: there over the weekend. So why would the if they

1130
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 1: get a bid for say, the whole thing, the whole

1131
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 1: thing will give you eighteen million bucks to have the

1132
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 1: combine in our city. Eighteen that's five hundred grand a team.

1133
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:37,520
Speaker 1: They may spend five hundred grand going they right, I

1134
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 1: don't know what's what is the enticement for a city

1135
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:45,080
Speaker 1: to bring the NFL Combine to that city, particularly Maddie

1136
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:48,960
Speaker 1: an NFL city, who you know, they get it. They

1137
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:52,280
Speaker 1: get it everywhere anyway, not to combine, but they get

1138
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, why why would it an

1139
01:04:55,800 --> 01:05:00,320
Speaker 1: NFL city? Only NFL cities? I guess put that bit

1140
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 1: out there. They got to they have to come. Okay,

1141
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 1: here's our plan. Like, we're gonna have a rock concert

1142
01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 1: every day of the of the combine. It's gonna be YouTube,

1143
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:20,160
Speaker 1: Bruce Springsteen, it'll be name another one. Some of the

1144
01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:21,960
Speaker 1: big mega star I don't even know who they are

1145
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 1: right as it. Dave Matthews, is he a big star? Whatever?

1146
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 1: The Beatles, the Who, the Rolling Stones, you know, Elton

1147
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:34,919
Speaker 1: John They got all these these mega superstars are gonna

1148
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 1: play every night, consecutive nights of the of the thing

1149
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:39,440
Speaker 1: that you know. Then what then then you can buy

1150
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:48,600
Speaker 1: a package. Okay, then the combine is an afterthought, that's true.

1151
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:51,520
Speaker 1: Then you know, but then you gotta you gotta pull

1152
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:53,720
Speaker 1: that event off. You gotta pull like five events off,

1153
01:05:53,800 --> 01:06:00,200
Speaker 1: all those huge concerts. Yeah. I don't think anytimes a

1154
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 1: headache to think about m but you gotta have something

1155
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:05,880
Speaker 1: to bring people in, right, because that's where you get

1156
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 1: your cash back. I think they've done more over the

1157
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:11,920
Speaker 1: last five years, certainly to attract more fans. Where does

1158
01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:15,840
Speaker 1: it go from here on out? Probably small improvements here.

1159
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 1: They're depending on what city hosts it and what's around

1160
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 1: for people to do and why you would want to

1161
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:24,439
Speaker 1: travel in. I think the one thing I think about is, okay,

1162
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 1: if I'm if, you've got to have a visionary thing,

1163
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:28,880
Speaker 1: so you know, the first bids that come in for

1164
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:31,760
Speaker 1: this thing are going to be minuscule, small, and it'll

1165
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:35,320
Speaker 1: begin small, and then you'll get it'll get some momentum,

1166
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 1: just like the draft has. Right. I mean, ESPN and

1167
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:47,440
Speaker 1: Fox Sports, CBS Sports, they attack the combine and they

1168
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:50,680
Speaker 1: they they camp out They're there all day, every day

1169
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:53,440
Speaker 1: in the day's leading up to it. They promote it,

1170
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 1: you know, and here it comes. It's gonna you know,

1171
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:58,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna be here and here and here on this

1172
01:06:58,160 --> 01:06:59,880
Speaker 1: day and this day and their program. He's all sent

1173
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:04,040
Speaker 1: around the combine. So that's there's an enormous window there

1174
01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 1: for you to you know, use that. But it is

1175
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 1: not and this is the only one of the only

1176
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:14,880
Speaker 1: few things that the league does this all that the

1177
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 1: draft was never about fan interest. It was a football thing. Yeah,

1178
01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:24,400
Speaker 1: the combine is really not about it's not about the fan.

1179
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 1: This is not fan centric. I would say if you

1180
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:30,880
Speaker 1: rank Super Bowl Draft combine, combine to definitely last for

1181
01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:36,000
Speaker 1: fan interest. Yeah, I'm like, all right, I'm good because

1182
01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:40,000
Speaker 1: because the thing moves was first of all, the combine

1183
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:44,240
Speaker 1: moves at a glacial pace. You got these guys walking around,

1184
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:45,919
Speaker 1: they're warming up their time, and then you can see

1185
01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 1: him one at a time through fifty guys doing the

1186
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:51,760
Speaker 1: same drill and man oh man, that is it. I

1187
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 1: am you watch the forty yard dashes and there's only

1188
01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 1: like two groups that you want to watch, the DBS

1189
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 1: and the wide receiver. And now less and less people

1190
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:05,800
Speaker 1: are doing things. That's a good point too. Really, you

1191
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 1: might not even see if you're there to see who

1192
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:13,120
Speaker 1: you remember one overall pick throw a football or run

1193
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:17,280
Speaker 1: a forty or do the bench press? Gods are you're

1194
01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:18,840
Speaker 1: not going to see it. Yeah, you woke up with

1195
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:20,920
Speaker 1: tightness his hamstring. He's not running my agents that I

1196
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:23,960
Speaker 1: shouldn't do anything. I'm just here for the meetings and

1197
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:27,760
Speaker 1: to get my medical example that you run that risk.

1198
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:32,759
Speaker 1: How do you make the scouting combine in the NFL

1199
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:38,479
Speaker 1: fan centric that's the question that's not easy to do,

1200
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:42,800
Speaker 1: not right, because it's not built for that. And this

1201
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:46,200
Speaker 1: just in nobody, like I said, unless you're making a paycheck,

1202
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:53,400
Speaker 1: nobody cares you, and I care, you know, nobody kind

1203
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:56,519
Speaker 1: of come on and I've I've pooh pooed this. Before

1204
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:58,000
Speaker 1: we did this, everybody was doing that with a draft.

1205
01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:00,200
Speaker 1: They're gonna take one on the road, who cares it's

1206
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 1: a draft. Well, now the draft is I'd like a

1207
01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:05,920
Speaker 1: four day festival. Yeah, I mean remember when it was

1208
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:10,680
Speaker 1: in Nashville. That thing was off that that was a part,

1209
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 1: that was a part. Oh my gosh. It was a

1210
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:17,200
Speaker 1: couple hundred thousand people packed in Old Town it was awesome. Yeah, awesome.

1211
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:22,120
Speaker 1: I don't think the Combine can ever be like that though. Yeah,

1212
01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:24,599
Speaker 1: it's not the same. But I guess that's what people

1213
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:27,000
Speaker 1: probably said about the draft a long time ago. Yeah,

1214
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:29,439
Speaker 1: that's true. Then they started bringing the players in, they

1215
01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 1: got you know, they did it up and I okay,

1216
01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:34,120
Speaker 1: were they gonna do that at the Combine, bring guys

1217
01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:39,720
Speaker 1: in on red carpet in their running shoes. No gonna, yeah,

1218
01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:41,880
Speaker 1: I mean they're gonna treat them. Yeah, I don't know.

1219
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:46,439
Speaker 1: That's it's it's it's one more sit Like I said,

1220
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 1: it's one more signal that the league's growing. Even in

1221
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:54,120
Speaker 1: these times. They're starting to put little you know, they're

1222
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:57,960
Speaker 1: Germany is gonna get a game in the next in

1223
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:03,560
Speaker 1: your future, the Combine, the Combine is going to be

1224
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:07,920
Speaker 1: out forbid. What's next? What is next? I don't know

1225
01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:12,519
Speaker 1: what other offseason thing is there? Schedule release? Yeah, I

1226
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:14,720
Speaker 1: mean that was a primetime show. Now a big day,

1227
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 1: that was a primetime show. Maybe that's what they should

1228
01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:23,960
Speaker 1: do give the Combine. Training camps can become bigger. Oh yeah,

1229
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:26,720
Speaker 1: you know what, you're right. With teams now traveling to

1230
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:29,479
Speaker 1: each other for training camp, that could be the next

1231
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:33,559
Speaker 1: big thing. Yeah, yeah, that's true. The training camps would

1232
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:35,840
Speaker 1: be big. But I think too that, you know, if

1233
01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:40,679
Speaker 1: you can the schedule release, I think the combine could

1234
01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:42,600
Speaker 1: be what I say, Hey, you got the rights to

1235
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:46,640
Speaker 1: televise the combine. Nobody else does. It's all on CBS,

1236
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:49,400
Speaker 1: or it's all on Fox, all on ESPN. You get

1237
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:52,519
Speaker 1: the rights to televise alive and you will give you access,

1238
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:57,160
Speaker 1: then that would be a big deal. Network to me,

1239
01:10:57,320 --> 01:10:59,479
Speaker 1: that would be a bigger number from the TV people

1240
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:01,760
Speaker 1: than it would be putting it out to bid for

1241
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:05,320
Speaker 1: the cities. Oh yeah, you get exclusive rights to the

1242
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:13,040
Speaker 1: combine and access. We'll see what happens. We know it's

1243
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:15,920
Speaker 1: an Indy four twenty twenty two, but beyond that, who

1244
01:11:16,040 --> 01:11:18,040
Speaker 1: the heck knows. I say, it's going to still be

1245
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:20,200
Speaker 1: an indie or it's going to be in Vegas. Those

1246
01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:24,400
Speaker 1: are my two guests. Vegas. Vegas is the one place

1247
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:27,200
Speaker 1: early on in the early infancy of this that would

1248
01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:30,400
Speaker 1: draw some people there. Obviously, NFL I feel like it's

1249
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:32,920
Speaker 1: wanting to move more stuff to Vegas. You'd get like

1250
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:36,439
Speaker 1: three or four casinos to you know, chip in the

1251
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:38,920
Speaker 1: number and they'd get you know, because that's what I mean.

1252
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:41,080
Speaker 1: Vegas is all about getting people to show up over there,

1253
01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:43,640
Speaker 1: right so they can all gamble. That would be an

1254
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:46,200
Speaker 1: enticement for them. So yeah, that would that would be

1255
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:49,439
Speaker 1: money well spent for the casino industry, it would, right.

1256
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 1: But that's that's my that's my dark horse. That's my

1257
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:57,680
Speaker 1: candidate right there. That's the favorite. That's the favorite in

1258
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:01,479
Speaker 1: that bet Vegas make Since all right, we're gonna take

1259
01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:03,760
Speaker 1: a break here, don't go anywhere because when we come back, well,

1260
01:12:03,800 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 1: you will keep the convo going about the most important

1261
01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:09,960
Speaker 1: game to win on the Buffalo Bill schedule. So if

1262
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:12,320
Speaker 1: you want to chime in, give us a call. Eighth, three,

1263
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:15,000
Speaker 1: five fifty. This is one Bills Live. We're presented by

1264
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 1: Kalid to Health and this is the Buffalo Bills Radium.

1265
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:34,880
Speaker 1: I think this is a team now that starts with

1266
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:38,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, who's the most physically gifted quarterback in the NFL.

1267
01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:42,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, ross if you've ever stood next to

1268
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:45,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. He's a big man, and I've actually stood

1269
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:47,680
Speaker 1: right next to him when he's thrown a football, and

1270
01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:50,639
Speaker 1: not that I've seen every quarterback in the last twenty

1271
01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:53,679
Speaker 1: or thirty years throw a football, but I don't recall

1272
01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:55,919
Speaker 1: a ball coming out of the hand of a quarterback

1273
01:12:56,000 --> 01:13:00,840
Speaker 1: like it does with Josh Allen. That was Greg Coeur,

1274
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:03,840
Speaker 1: Friends of the Show, talking to Ross Tucker on his

1275
01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:07,800
Speaker 1: Ross Trucker Tucker podcast, and he has said that, you know,

1276
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:10,479
Speaker 1: Josh has got you know, but that right there, I'll

1277
01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:12,640
Speaker 1: give you anopose of what Greg Cosell thinks about the

1278
01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:16,840
Speaker 1: Bill's quarterback, and he's right. I mean I have stood

1279
01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:18,640
Speaker 1: next to some guys who can really throw it and

1280
01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:21,479
Speaker 1: sling it, and those guys are different. I remember thinking

1281
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:23,640
Speaker 1: I was at a Maddie, I was at a Pro

1282
01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:27,720
Speaker 1: Bowl and the quarterbacks were I think, I think this

1283
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 1: is right. It was Warren Moon, John Elway, I think

1284
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:35,200
Speaker 1: maybe Jim was there. Those are the three guys. And

1285
01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:37,240
Speaker 1: if it wasn't one of those three, Dan Marina was

1286
01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:39,240
Speaker 1: a third the other guy, right, So it's those three

1287
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:45,080
Speaker 1: guys Elway, Jim and Warren Moon and all three of

1288
01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:49,880
Speaker 1: those guys you standing back there on Oh, like, one

1289
01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:52,280
Speaker 1: throw was hard, it was un more unbelievable than the next,

1290
01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:54,800
Speaker 1: and they were like and they weren't trying to show off,

1291
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:56,840
Speaker 1: they were just going through seven on seven and all that.

1292
01:13:57,120 --> 01:14:01,080
Speaker 1: It's different. Josh is like that. Those guys have got

1293
01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, they're physically given the ability to sling it,

1294
01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:07,360
Speaker 1: and when it comes out of their hand, it's not

1295
01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:12,400
Speaker 1: like it's I don't want to say it's effortless. I'm

1296
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:18,639
Speaker 1: just saying it's way better. That's all I can say.

1297
01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:20,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it comes out and it spins, and it

1298
01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:23,160
Speaker 1: comes out with velocity, and you can almost hear it

1299
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:27,720
Speaker 1: come out of that. You can hear the motion. And

1300
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:32,400
Speaker 1: that's not that's not normal. It's not you know what

1301
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:35,800
Speaker 1: usual quarterbacks go through. I think when Steph Diggs first

1302
01:14:35,880 --> 01:14:37,760
Speaker 1: got here, he was like, yeah, I was warned about

1303
01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:40,200
Speaker 1: Josh's ball and how hard it is when it comes

1304
01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 1: out and how much it hurts your hands. He was like, yeah,

1305
01:14:43,360 --> 01:14:45,120
Speaker 1: it took me a little bit to get used to that.

1306
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:48,760
Speaker 1: And it's not even like in practice he chills out

1307
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:52,760
Speaker 1: or takes a step back. No, it's he's full throttle.

1308
01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:56,960
Speaker 1: In practice, doesn't matter he's whipping the ball. It hurts

1309
01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:58,880
Speaker 1: your hands, but you get used to it and you

1310
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:03,400
Speaker 1: can't whiteouts started. And it was back in Elway's era,

1311
01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:05,880
Speaker 1: when he first came out of the early eighties, and

1312
01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:09,479
Speaker 1: the mid eighties. By the mid to late eighties, everybody

1313
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:13,280
Speaker 1: was wearing gloves. If you had a quarterback who'd spin

1314
01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:15,040
Speaker 1: and they say spin it, that's what they mean when

1315
01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:17,320
Speaker 1: the ball comes out as a tight spiral and the

1316
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:22,519
Speaker 1: and the revolutions are are high. And if you get

1317
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:24,799
Speaker 1: a ball out of the box, out of the package,

1318
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:27,080
Speaker 1: you start throwing around to break it in. It's like

1319
01:15:27,200 --> 01:15:31,080
Speaker 1: trying to catch a cheese grater in your hands. And

1320
01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:34,880
Speaker 1: so guys started wearing gloves. And only then could guys,

1321
01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:36,920
Speaker 1: you know, kind of return the favor to the quarterback

1322
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:38,840
Speaker 1: he zinged it at him. They could kind of attack

1323
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:42,000
Speaker 1: the ball instead of just like manage it like and

1324
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:45,200
Speaker 1: try and cradle it in. Guys could start attacking the

1325
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:47,320
Speaker 1: ball better because of their hand, because of the gloves,

1326
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:50,960
Speaker 1: because it would it would rip you up. I mean,

1327
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:53,200
Speaker 1: you put a regular person on the other side and

1328
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:58,040
Speaker 1: have Josh allen the throats to someone regular. Broken fingers, yeah,

1329
01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:00,600
Speaker 1: broken fingers. Split fingers where your finger get caught on

1330
01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:03,000
Speaker 1: the ball and they get spread apart, so the webbing

1331
01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:07,000
Speaker 1: between your fingers get split. That happens. I'm good, you know,

1332
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:09,960
Speaker 1: I've still got a thumb that bothers me from a ball.

1333
01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 1: Gail Gilbert through Gail Gilbert, backup quarterback for the Bills,

1334
01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:16,040
Speaker 1: had a real pro arm. He was like Jim, he

1335
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:20,360
Speaker 1: had a really strong arm. And I've still got stuff

1336
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:22,080
Speaker 1: I deal with from a ball I caught from him.

1337
01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:28,200
Speaker 1: It just it tears you up. So you really, you

1338
01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:31,160
Speaker 1: really have to think about that stuff when you're catching

1339
01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:33,439
Speaker 1: the ball and stuff and the receiving gloves that came

1340
01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:36,439
Speaker 1: out they started in the mid eighties, about time I

1341
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:39,240
Speaker 1: came into the league, and it was like, wow, that

1342
01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:42,160
Speaker 1: they what a difference they made, What a difference they made,

1343
01:16:42,200 --> 01:16:46,360
Speaker 1: and that and guys like Elway and guys like Josh Allen,

1344
01:16:46,439 --> 01:16:48,960
Speaker 1: Warren Moon and Jim Kelly and Dan Marino and those

1345
01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:52,960
Speaker 1: guys that you had to have. You had to otherwise

1346
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:54,760
Speaker 1: you're you know, you're catching you know, you've seen it

1347
01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:56,760
Speaker 1: a million times, guys catch the ball with their chest

1348
01:16:56,800 --> 01:17:00,360
Speaker 1: in their arms. You know, yeah, you couldn't do You

1349
01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:02,640
Speaker 1: had to catch it like that from those guys. It

1350
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:05,560
Speaker 1: snow live that Josh Allen definitely has some physical attributes

1351
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:08,599
Speaker 1: that other quarterbacks in this league don't have. And Greg

1352
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:10,880
Speaker 1: co Sell said it, you know who else said it?

1353
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:16,000
Speaker 1: Chris Simms also said it NBC Sports NFL analysts and

1354
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:18,800
Speaker 1: co hosts of PFT Live. He came out with his

1355
01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:24,240
Speaker 1: top forty quarterback list and guess who is number two

1356
01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:30,360
Speaker 1: on the list. Yeah, you can guess. Also it's it's

1357
01:17:30,960 --> 01:17:33,400
Speaker 1: Josh number two on the list. And he's at this point,

1358
01:17:34,120 --> 01:17:38,720
Speaker 1: he's right in front of right in front of Aaron Rodgers. Yeah,

1359
01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:41,559
Speaker 1: they put Aaron Rodgers at number three. So it goes

1360
01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:45,920
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes number one, number two, Josh Allen three, Aaron Rodgers, four,

1361
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:50,360
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson five, Russell Wilson six, Lamar Jackson, seven, Kyler

1362
01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:55,479
Speaker 1: Murray eight, Matthew Stafford, nine, Dak Prescott and ten Tom Brady.

1363
01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:59,519
Speaker 1: And he gets into you know why why you go one, two, three?

1364
01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:03,160
Speaker 1: How we ordered them on his podcast and we had

1365
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:06,800
Speaker 1: it on today before the show, and just like Greg

1366
01:18:06,840 --> 01:18:09,720
Speaker 1: co Sell was saying, Chris Sims was saying the same thing.

1367
01:18:09,880 --> 01:18:13,320
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, I mean I could put Aaron Rodgers

1368
01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:16,120
Speaker 1: at number two, but Josh Allen is at number two

1369
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:22,160
Speaker 1: because nobody made any more bleep bleep cool plays right

1370
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:26,559
Speaker 1: than Josh Allen. He was that dude last season. Yeah,

1371
01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:30,519
Speaker 1: he was. He's a special guys, impressive plays, and that's

1372
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:32,720
Speaker 1: why he's number two on the list. One of the

1373
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:34,720
Speaker 1: reasons he's And it's true too, because you know all

1374
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:39,479
Speaker 1: those guys Mahomes, Josh, Aaron Rodgers, Deshaun Watson, Russell Wilson,

1375
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:44,280
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, of course Kyler, those guys are and certainly

1376
01:18:44,439 --> 01:18:46,640
Speaker 1: and one of the things Chris Sims said that I

1377
01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:50,639
Speaker 1: thought was pretty insightful, it's you said, well that Aaron

1378
01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:53,200
Speaker 1: Rodgers doesn't well, Josh Allen was doing all that last year.

1379
01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:55,320
Speaker 1: He's going to the right guy. He'll take the quick

1380
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:58,120
Speaker 1: the quick completion, He'll take a sack when he needs to,

1381
01:18:58,200 --> 01:19:00,479
Speaker 1: he'll throw it away when he needs to. He does

1382
01:19:00,600 --> 01:19:02,519
Speaker 1: all the right things with the football. And that was

1383
01:19:02,560 --> 01:19:04,360
Speaker 1: a big step for him. I think that may have

1384
01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:07,720
Speaker 1: been the biggest step for him last year. And a

1385
01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:10,479
Speaker 1: lot of people say his accuracy, it was his decision making.

1386
01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:12,599
Speaker 1: It was the big step. He knew where his options

1387
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:15,760
Speaker 1: were third year in that offense, and he knew where

1388
01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:17,680
Speaker 1: to throw the football. Yeah, And he said, that's what

1389
01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:20,439
Speaker 1: I think his biggest step forward was. But the thing

1390
01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:22,560
Speaker 1: that sets him apart from the other guys on this

1391
01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:24,720
Speaker 1: list and puts him up in the top four or five.

1392
01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:28,080
Speaker 1: Is that? Yeah, he knew that was there, and even

1393
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:31,280
Speaker 1: if he had an unblocked guy coming at him, he'd

1394
01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:32,880
Speaker 1: stand there and say here, you can come try and

1395
01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:35,160
Speaker 1: get me if you want. But I'm gonna wait. I

1396
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:37,519
Speaker 1: couldn't take the easy one. I'm gonna wait, You're gonna

1397
01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:39,960
Speaker 1: miss me. I'm gonna sidestep you, and I'm gonna hit

1398
01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:43,040
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs for a forty yard game instead of a

1399
01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:45,439
Speaker 1: four yard catching run. I'm gonna hit the one on

1400
01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:47,320
Speaker 1: one on the far side because I'm gonna buy some

1401
01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:50,640
Speaker 1: time those special plays that he made because of his

1402
01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:56,360
Speaker 1: physical attributes. It's not guys can't do that on a

1403
01:19:56,439 --> 01:19:59,880
Speaker 1: regular basis. Yeah, when you have a linebacker blitzing and

1404
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,439
Speaker 1: you have an open space in the flats, and that's

1405
01:20:02,479 --> 01:20:06,160
Speaker 1: where quarterback rules tell you to go, he said. Josh

1406
01:20:06,240 --> 01:20:09,439
Speaker 1: Allen and Patrick Mahomes are the only two quarterbacks that

1407
01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:12,720
Speaker 1: don't need to really follow those rules. And they can

1408
01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:16,519
Speaker 1: throw a bomb for forty yards or duke you out

1409
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:18,960
Speaker 1: and run it twenty twenty yards down the field for

1410
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:21,479
Speaker 1: a first down. And some we saw on a couple

1411
01:20:21,520 --> 01:20:23,840
Speaker 1: of occasions, and Brownie and I have talked about this.

1412
01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:26,080
Speaker 1: You go back and watch these games on the broadcast

1413
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:27,960
Speaker 1: side of it. In the forty nine er game, the

1414
01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:31,840
Speaker 1: Denver game, where the teams had really had really good,

1415
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:34,640
Speaker 1: solid defenses that they leaned on. It was, you know,

1416
01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:37,000
Speaker 1: their defenses of those teams were the engine that made

1417
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:43,639
Speaker 1: them go. And you would see, you know, Vic Fongio,

1418
01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:47,639
Speaker 1: head coach, defensive plate coordinator, play caller, and Robert Sala

1419
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:52,760
Speaker 1: on the sidelines. They had no answers. You could see

1420
01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:55,080
Speaker 1: it on Robert Sala's face. He knew he was he

1421
01:20:56,200 --> 01:20:58,519
Speaker 1: and Vic Fangio would call a defense and he'd have

1422
01:20:58,560 --> 01:21:01,120
Speaker 1: a free rusher on the quarterback. He did it, He

1423
01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:03,560
Speaker 1: coordinated it, and he called the right play at the

1424
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:07,360
Speaker 1: right time. I got you and Josh Allen sidesteps him

1425
01:21:07,400 --> 01:21:11,200
Speaker 1: boot touchdown bills and he's over there throwing his arms up.

1426
01:21:12,240 --> 01:21:14,400
Speaker 1: You can't beat a guy who goes off the page,

1427
01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:16,719
Speaker 1: and you can't catch, you can't tackle, and you can't

1428
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:19,120
Speaker 1: cover for that long in the secondary, even when you

1429
01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:25,160
Speaker 1: call the perfect defense, it's worthless. That's pretty frustrating. And

1430
01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:28,200
Speaker 1: we've talked about this week why we think the Buffalo

1431
01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:31,080
Speaker 1: Bills could get better this season, and I think another

1432
01:21:31,200 --> 01:21:34,120
Speaker 1: reason is Josh was able to do this against all

1433
01:21:34,160 --> 01:21:37,680
Speaker 1: these talented defenses. And you think year three and a quarterback,

1434
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:40,680
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator has you figured out by them. They

1435
01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:43,160
Speaker 1: have two years of year tape. They know what you do.

1436
01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:45,880
Speaker 1: They're going to shut you down your strengths. But nope,

1437
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:48,360
Speaker 1: Josh Allen got better with his deep ball. Josh Allen

1438
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:51,440
Speaker 1: got better with his arm. Josh Allen found better opportunities

1439
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:53,960
Speaker 1: to take himself, and he gets better in year four

1440
01:21:54,360 --> 01:21:57,240
Speaker 1: because he has an even better understanding of the defense

1441
01:21:57,320 --> 01:21:59,640
Speaker 1: in year four. I think that's something that's going to

1442
01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:02,320
Speaker 1: be for this quarterback and this offense as a whole

1443
01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:05,479
Speaker 1: is he was able to pick apart some defenses last

1444
01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:07,960
Speaker 1: year and it showed his growth in his football iq

1445
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:11,519
Speaker 1: year four, he's gonna be able to do that even more.

1446
01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:16,639
Speaker 1: He played against ten top ten defenses in the league

1447
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:18,880
Speaker 1: last year on the game that was on the week

1448
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:20,720
Speaker 1: that he played them, they were in the top ten

1449
01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:25,120
Speaker 1: of the league, and he crushed him. He was absolutely

1450
01:22:25,280 --> 01:22:28,479
Speaker 1: off the charts good against those top ten defenses. And

1451
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:31,240
Speaker 1: and the guy we got this list from Chris Sims.

1452
01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:32,840
Speaker 1: He also made a good point that I'm gonna relay

1453
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:35,439
Speaker 1: to you is now. He said that, and he's right.

1454
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:40,519
Speaker 1: The Bills cannot expect to get better by running the

1455
01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:43,360
Speaker 1: exact same offense they ran last year. The league is

1456
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:46,040
Speaker 1: too good. So they're gonna they're gonna come up with

1457
01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 1: answers for the concepts and the plays that the Bills ran,

1458
01:22:50,360 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 1: even the players the strengths that they played to Steph Diggs,

1459
01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:54,479
Speaker 1: They're gonna have an answer for him. They're gonna have

1460
01:22:54,479 --> 01:22:57,080
Speaker 1: an answer for for Devin Singletary. They're gonna have an

1461
01:22:57,080 --> 01:22:58,920
Speaker 1: answer for the running game the Bills have. They're gonna

1462
01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:01,559
Speaker 1: have an answer for the concepts that the Bills ran

1463
01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:03,920
Speaker 1: and what they did last year. The Bills are going

1464
01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:09,240
Speaker 1: to have to continue to be to evolve to get better,

1465
01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:11,439
Speaker 1: and they're not going to be the same kind offense.

1466
01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:13,320
Speaker 1: They can be the same basics and that kind of thing,

1467
01:23:13,400 --> 01:23:15,040
Speaker 1: but Josh is gonna have to be better. They're gonna

1468
01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:16,760
Speaker 1: ask Josh to do different things. They're gonna have to

1469
01:23:16,880 --> 01:23:21,599
Speaker 1: pull out different tools in their offensive toolbox and use

1470
01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:24,080
Speaker 1: against teams that they haven't done yet or haven't done well.

1471
01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:26,880
Speaker 1: So they're gonna have to continue to evolve to be

1472
01:23:27,320 --> 01:23:30,040
Speaker 1: as good this coming year as they were last year,

1473
01:23:30,720 --> 01:23:35,559
Speaker 1: and I think, knowing what we know about this coaching staff,

1474
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:40,400
Speaker 1: they're all over that. They know that that's one of

1475
01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:43,400
Speaker 1: the things that continuity can give them. And I think

1476
01:23:43,479 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 1: that instead of you know, continuity in that, hey, we're

1477
01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:50,479
Speaker 1: gonna do what we do, that's not it. We're gonna

1478
01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:52,160
Speaker 1: get better because we got to do this, we gotta

1479
01:23:52,160 --> 01:23:53,760
Speaker 1: do that, we gotta do this other thing. We've got

1480
01:23:53,880 --> 01:23:56,320
Speaker 1: to get better here, here, here, and here, and we're

1481
01:23:56,360 --> 01:23:58,760
Speaker 1: gonna do this on top of what we did last year.

1482
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:01,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna add some wrinkles to what we did last year.

1483
01:24:01,360 --> 01:24:03,120
Speaker 1: So if they try and stop what we did, well,

1484
01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:05,840
Speaker 1: we're going to get them over here. That kind of stuff.

1485
01:24:06,120 --> 01:24:09,599
Speaker 1: That's the kind of mentality the Bill's coaching staff has

1486
01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:13,439
Speaker 1: to have because I think Chris Sims is right. They

1487
01:24:13,479 --> 01:24:15,160
Speaker 1: can't come out and do exactly what they did last

1488
01:24:15,240 --> 01:24:17,599
Speaker 1: year because the league is too good and they'll snap

1489
01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:21,280
Speaker 1: it off. So it's gonna be fun to see, but

1490
01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:23,240
Speaker 1: it's I put a lot on this coaching staff, and

1491
01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:25,240
Speaker 1: I think one of the benefits we've talked about a

1492
01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:28,800
Speaker 1: lot both coordinators returning, they can build on what they've

1493
01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:30,760
Speaker 1: done in the past. They can continue to evolve and

1494
01:24:30,760 --> 01:24:32,240
Speaker 1: they can do it at a faster pace than they

1495
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:34,599
Speaker 1: have before. And I think adding a couple of pieces

1496
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:38,880
Speaker 1: on offense, Emmanuel Sanders Matt Barrita, those could be two

1497
01:24:38,960 --> 01:24:41,960
Speaker 1: new weapons for you. We don't know how much each

1498
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:44,559
Speaker 1: of them will play, but you can run some new

1499
01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:47,120
Speaker 1: stuff with them that hasn't been seen on tape yet

1500
01:24:47,240 --> 01:24:50,439
Speaker 1: because these are new emerging pieces that you can add

1501
01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:54,280
Speaker 1: to your offense. Emmanuel Sanders offers a wide variety of

1502
01:24:54,439 --> 01:24:57,840
Speaker 1: things he can do as a wide receiver. He's not

1503
01:24:57,960 --> 01:25:00,599
Speaker 1: just your deep threat. He can be in the flats.

1504
01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:03,400
Speaker 1: He can be he can be your deep threat if

1505
01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:05,200
Speaker 1: you need him to be. That's why they liked him,

1506
01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:09,320
Speaker 1: That's why they try to go after him for multiple seasons,

1507
01:25:09,479 --> 01:25:13,040
Speaker 1: is because of the wide variety of skill set he

1508
01:25:13,200 --> 01:25:17,559
Speaker 1: brings the offense and his veteran presence dudas put together

1509
01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:24,160
Speaker 1: so many productive seasons. He can offer you a lot. Yeah,

1510
01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:26,080
Speaker 1: they are gonna and it's gonna be interesting to see.

1511
01:25:26,240 --> 01:25:29,720
Speaker 1: Now They've they've added you know, Hollister tight end, They've

1512
01:25:29,720 --> 01:25:34,680
Speaker 1: added Matt Breta. They've got Lotulele back in the in

1513
01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:38,400
Speaker 1: the fold, They've got two new pass rushers, They got

1514
01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:41,680
Speaker 1: some new offensive linemen. All of those guys are going

1515
01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:44,040
Speaker 1: to play roles on this team, and the team will

1516
01:25:44,200 --> 01:25:49,480
Speaker 1: change in some ways very subtly, in other ways dramatically

1517
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:51,439
Speaker 1: as to how they do and what they do, and

1518
01:25:51,520 --> 01:25:53,160
Speaker 1: not only you know what they do what they can do,

1519
01:25:53,720 --> 01:25:56,400
Speaker 1: but also in certain situations what the Bills did last

1520
01:25:56,479 --> 01:25:59,479
Speaker 1: year may be very very different this year, which will

1521
01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:02,479
Speaker 1: be a real problem for defense is facing them now.

1522
01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:04,439
Speaker 1: So Brian dave All said when he talked to the

1523
01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:08,240
Speaker 1: media over OTAs, he said, Yeah, we return a lot

1524
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:10,439
Speaker 1: of guys with this roster. He's like, but every year

1525
01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:12,320
Speaker 1: is so different and this year is going to be

1526
01:26:12,479 --> 01:26:15,719
Speaker 1: just as different because we have a slew new offensive lineman,

1527
01:26:15,800 --> 01:26:18,559
Speaker 1: we have new wide receivers, we have new tight ends,

1528
01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:21,720
Speaker 1: we have new running backs. You cannot do the same

1529
01:26:21,800 --> 01:26:23,880
Speaker 1: thing that you did this past season because of the

1530
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:26,400
Speaker 1: new people that we have on this team, And like

1531
01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:29,639
Speaker 1: you said, you can't do the same thing again because

1532
01:26:30,040 --> 01:26:32,559
Speaker 1: defenses have you figured out, So you've got to bring

1533
01:26:32,920 --> 01:26:36,320
Speaker 1: a new aspect to what you have. Yeah, as good

1534
01:26:36,360 --> 01:26:37,519
Speaker 1: as you were, you got to give credit to the

1535
01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:40,120
Speaker 1: rest of the league. They're not gonna let you get

1536
01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:42,040
Speaker 1: away with that forever. No, and that's one of the

1537
01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:44,120
Speaker 1: things that the Bills fans more so than anybody else.

1538
01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:45,679
Speaker 1: So we can go to break here, but the Bills

1539
01:26:45,720 --> 01:26:47,680
Speaker 1: fans more than anybody else saw the Patriots do that.

1540
01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:50,360
Speaker 1: They've morphed week to week, let alone year to year,

1541
01:26:51,360 --> 01:26:53,720
Speaker 1: and the Bills did a little bit of that last year,

1542
01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:56,880
Speaker 1: and certainly from two years ago to last year they

1543
01:26:56,920 --> 01:27:00,160
Speaker 1: were an absolutely completely different team. Yeah, and at the

1544
01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:03,080
Speaker 1: point this year where you've got the you've got the

1545
01:27:03,160 --> 01:27:07,080
Speaker 1: maturnists to start morphing, and to start morphing big time.

1546
01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:10,240
Speaker 1: You're not catching people up. You you can start off

1547
01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:14,120
Speaker 1: where you left off and more from there. All Right,

1548
01:27:14,120 --> 01:27:16,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a break, don't go anywhere more to

1549
01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:19,080
Speaker 1: come here on One Bills Live. We're presented by Clyde

1550

1552
01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:46,280
Speaker 1: gonna get dip back into our tweet sheet. Our question

1553
01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:50,080
Speaker 1: is which game do the Bills have to win most

1554
01:27:50,360 --> 01:27:55,479
Speaker 1: on the schedule, And Jack Wanders says home opener because

1555
01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:58,640
Speaker 1: it's the next one. Also because it will set the

1556
01:27:58,760 --> 01:28:02,559
Speaker 1: tone for a good start after a great twenty twenty

1557
01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:06,519
Speaker 1: season that ended with some disappointment along off season. In

1558
01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:08,560
Speaker 1: front of a full stadium for the first time in

1559
01:28:08,640 --> 01:28:12,000
Speaker 1: a year, none of Bill's Mafia wants to be let

1560
01:28:12,520 --> 01:28:17,559
Speaker 1: let down. We want to celebrate a win. Yeah, that's

1561
01:28:17,880 --> 01:28:20,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna it would be the capper of what at

1562
01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:22,680
Speaker 1: least at the present moment, it's gonna look like a

1563
01:28:22,760 --> 01:28:26,519

Speaker 1: and these two guys go, hey, what do you think?

1578
01:29:16,920 --> 01:29:19,080

1582
01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:33,519
Speaker 1: go to the home opener? Like, how do we should

1583
01:29:33,520 --> 01:29:36,560

1586
01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:45,640
Speaker 1: gonna go and maybe park twenty four hours earlier than

1587
01:29:45,680 --> 01:29:47,719
Speaker 1: you think. You're gonna need to pay. Just pay the money,

1588
01:29:48,080 --> 01:29:49,479
Speaker 1: whatever it takes. If you're gonna go to one of

1589
01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:53,040
Speaker 1: the local lots, the private lots, pay the money, pay whatever,

1590
01:29:53,160 --> 01:29:56,320
Speaker 1: give an extra fifty, take the spot, go put your

1591
01:29:56,439 --> 01:30:01,200
Speaker 1: vehicle there, your camper there. And then they go should

1592
01:30:01,200 --> 01:30:05,559
Speaker 1: we stay? Should we go before or do we stay after?

1593
01:30:06,520 --> 01:30:10,120
Speaker 1: You know, and I we said both said before because

1594
01:30:10,160 --> 01:30:13,560
Speaker 1: after there's always a chance he lose the game. But

1595
01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:19,040
Speaker 1: before everybody's going to be optimistic. And so you got

1596
01:30:19,160 --> 01:30:22,000
Speaker 1: to you gotta show up, you gotta and plan on

1597
01:30:22,280 --> 01:30:25,519
Speaker 1: staying after the game. It's a one o'clock game. Plan

1598
01:30:25,680 --> 01:30:28,599
Speaker 1: on staying after the game, maybe even sleep there overnight,

1599
01:30:29,040 --> 01:30:32,560
Speaker 1: just relax, eat, have three meals ready to be to

1600

Speaker 1: the game. So you gotta and we get laid it

1602
01:30:38,600 --> 01:30:41,599
Speaker 1: all out for him. So I'm a lot of people

1603
01:30:42,520 --> 01:30:47,040
Speaker 1: are planning, like the tailgate of all tailgates, it's already

1604
01:30:47,080 --> 01:30:50,439
Speaker 1: being planned absolutely. And there I had people ask me

1605
01:30:50,479 --> 01:30:52,960
Speaker 1: for advice June twenty four do you stay do you

1606
01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:55,280
Speaker 1: come or day early or do you stay a day late?

1607
01:30:56,240 --> 01:30:57,640
Speaker 1: And I was like, Noah, I think you want to

1608
01:30:57,640 --> 01:31:01,560
Speaker 1: come early. Yeah, right because on the outside chance you

1609
01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:04,000
Speaker 1: can't win that game or whatever, and you know, yeah,

1610
01:31:04,560 --> 01:31:06,040
Speaker 1: take it and then you can take the next day

1611
01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:08,600
Speaker 1: as as it goes. You know, I'm gonna be so

1612
01:31:08,760 --> 01:31:12,320
Speaker 1: excited driving into work on Friday seeing those RVs parked

1613
01:31:13,760 --> 01:31:16,760
Speaker 1: something we haven't seen in a year. You know. For

1614
01:31:17,080 --> 01:31:19,320
Speaker 1: most people don't know what, they aren't aware of this.

1615
01:31:19,479 --> 01:31:22,800
Speaker 1: But for you and I, we get credentials, right, you

1616
01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:25,960
Speaker 1: get a little for the games. For us, we have

1617
01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:27,880
Speaker 1: these tags we can use all the time. They would

1618
01:31:27,920 --> 01:31:29,920
Speaker 1: like a credential, but you get credentials for every game.

1619
01:31:29,960 --> 01:31:32,120
Speaker 1: When you start getting those handed out, particularly for the

1620
01:31:32,240 --> 01:31:35,960
Speaker 1: outcoming season, it's like, oh, here we go Christmas. It

1621
01:31:36,080 --> 01:31:39,720
Speaker 1: becomes real, right, Yeah, it becomes real day. When a

1622
01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:43,240
Speaker 1: camp I'm like, all right, it's good time. Yeah, And

1623
01:31:43,320 --> 01:31:45,400
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward for the first time. I'm looking forward

1624
01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:48,000
Speaker 1: to everything because of what's happened to us, you know,

1625
01:31:48,040 --> 01:31:51,320
Speaker 1: over the last eighteen months, sixteen months. But I'm really

1626
01:31:51,360 --> 01:31:55,040
Speaker 1: looking forward to even the preseason games, maybe some normalcy.

1627
01:31:55,920 --> 01:31:58,160
Speaker 1: There's a chance you could sell out that preseason game

1628
01:31:58,160 --> 01:32:02,640
Speaker 1: against Chicago. You know, it's true. Where is it? No,

1629
01:32:02,760 --> 01:32:04,680
Speaker 1: not Chicago? Where is it we go to? We go

1630
01:32:04,760 --> 01:32:07,040
Speaker 1: to Detroit? Yeah, then Chicago home and green Bay at home?

1631
01:32:07,160 --> 01:32:14,160
Speaker 1: Right is that right? Detroit, Chicago, green Bay. Three NFC

1632
01:32:14,320 --> 01:32:17,240
Speaker 1: North teams and green Bay is the last one. I

1633
01:32:17,360 --> 01:32:20,799
Speaker 1: think Detroit is the first one and it's in Detroit

1634
01:32:21,400 --> 01:32:24,800
Speaker 1: and the other two. It's a week one right at

1635
01:32:25,200 --> 01:32:30,120
Speaker 1: Detroit at Chicago. It's at Chicago to Packers here, all right.

1636
01:32:30,600 --> 01:32:32,800
Speaker 1: You think they sell out that Packers preseason game? I

1637
01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:39,679
Speaker 1: think they could probably not. I don't know as preseason

1638
01:32:39,840 --> 01:32:43,120
Speaker 1: it's not has it been labeled anything like Kid's Day

1639
01:32:43,200 --> 01:32:47,400
Speaker 1: or anything like that. I don't think yet yet. I

1640
01:32:47,439 --> 01:32:49,479
Speaker 1: don't know if it does say that game is presented

1641
01:32:49,520 --> 01:32:52,160
Speaker 1: by Fisher Price, so maybe it will be kids saying

1642
01:32:52,360 --> 01:32:55,519
Speaker 1: that's yeah, that's a telltale. Yeah maybe. I don't even

1643
01:32:55,560 --> 01:32:56,920
Speaker 1: know if they're gonna do that this year. They may not,

1644
01:32:57,080 --> 01:32:59,120
Speaker 1: but anyway, that be that as it made. Do they

1645
01:32:59,160 --> 01:33:02,120
Speaker 1: sell that game out because it may be difficult to

1646
01:33:02,160 --> 01:33:05,479
Speaker 1: get seats for the home opener? Yeah, I mean your

1647
01:33:05,520 --> 01:33:08,320
Speaker 1: preseason game, the home game for preseason. It's your chance

1648
01:33:08,400 --> 01:33:11,479
Speaker 1: for people to come out who don't have season tickets,

1649
01:33:11,520 --> 01:33:14,960
Speaker 1: who can't come to regular season games, when they'd rather

1650
01:33:15,040 --> 01:33:18,280
Speaker 1: come when it's nicer, or they'd rather it's an easier

1651
01:33:18,400 --> 01:33:20,560
Speaker 1: place to get in out of during the preseason. You

1652
01:33:20,600 --> 01:33:22,360
Speaker 1: can bring your whole family, you can bring kids. You

1653
01:33:22,400 --> 01:33:26,280
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about doing it in October, November, December,

1654
01:33:26,360 --> 01:33:29,479
Speaker 1: one weather, you could be shoddy. They're gonna be one

1655
01:33:29,520 --> 01:33:32,880
Speaker 1: o'clock games too, right except for the Detroit game that

1656
01:33:33,040 --> 01:33:36,200
Speaker 1: the away game. The Detroit games a night game, Detroit

1657
01:33:36,280 --> 01:33:39,320
Speaker 1: game seven, than Bears and Packers are one o'clock, one

1658
01:33:39,320 --> 01:33:45,080
Speaker 1: o'clock in the afternoon. Interesting. Interesting, that's kind of a

1659
01:33:45,160 --> 01:33:49,800
Speaker 1: different that's a different way of doing things than they've

1660
01:33:49,840 --> 01:33:52,800
Speaker 1: ever done before. Nobody had one o'clock games in the

1661
01:33:52,880 --> 01:33:57,320
Speaker 1: preseason for anything. Now, I think it's all about teaching

1662
01:33:57,320 --> 01:33:58,760
Speaker 1: your guys how to play at one o'clock on an

1663
01:33:58,800 --> 01:34:01,400
Speaker 1: afternoon on a Sunday or New right. Nothing like one

1664
01:34:01,400 --> 01:34:03,479
Speaker 1: o'clock kick right. I'm a fan of those. And you

1665
01:34:03,560 --> 01:34:05,439
Speaker 1: want to get your guys in that room in that

1666
01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:07,960
Speaker 1: mode of when to go to sleep, when to get up,

1667
01:34:08,040 --> 01:34:10,880
Speaker 1: how to go to sleep, what to eat on game morning,

1668
01:34:11,680 --> 01:34:13,880
Speaker 1: how to schedule your which bust you want to get

1669
01:34:13,920 --> 01:34:16,160
Speaker 1: on to go to the stadium, all that stuff. All

1670
01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:18,200
Speaker 1: that stuff is important. Yeah, you have to. You have

1671
01:34:18,360 --> 01:34:21,400
Speaker 1: to rehearse everything they do. You don't have to, but

1672
01:34:21,479 --> 01:34:23,760
Speaker 1: if you do, if you do, you feel comfortable when

1673
01:34:23,800 --> 01:34:29,519
Speaker 1: it happens, because particularly for young players, you know, you

1674
01:34:29,560 --> 01:34:31,800
Speaker 1: don't know how to handle that. It's different. You know,

1675
01:34:32,120 --> 01:34:34,479
Speaker 1: some of these guys played at eleven am on Saturday

1676
01:34:34,520 --> 01:34:38,760
Speaker 1: mornings for college. But um, yeah, you want to you

1677
01:34:38,840 --> 01:34:41,120
Speaker 1: got you gotta get used to it. It's different. So

1678
01:34:41,200 --> 01:34:45,960
Speaker 1: I get it, you know, but veterans I don't get

1679
01:34:46,040 --> 01:34:47,960
Speaker 1: get the get the game over with. Turn these guys

1680
01:34:48,040 --> 01:34:49,479
Speaker 1: loose for a little bit, let them have dinner with

1681
01:34:49,520 --> 01:34:51,680
Speaker 1: their families and stuff. Yeah, I gotta like it. I

1682
01:34:51,840 --> 01:34:54,000
Speaker 1: like it. Break time for us. But when we come back,

1683
01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:56,479
Speaker 1: we're gonna do some What's for lunch, a little bit

1684
01:34:56,560 --> 01:34:58,599
Speaker 1: of a late lunch for us here at two o'clock.

1685
01:34:58,680 --> 01:35:00,559
Speaker 1: So to stick with us. Here One Bill Live, We're

1686
01:35:00,600 --> 01:35:22,120
Speaker 1: presented by Clyde Health on Buffalo Bills Radio at a

1687
01:35:22,360 --> 01:35:25,599
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker who has read all all over the fields.

1688
01:35:25,680 --> 01:35:27,280
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

1689
01:35:27,360 --> 01:35:32,240
Speaker 1: player for you, stave of a little Steve a blimp.

1690
01:35:33,040 --> 01:35:40,240
Speaker 1: We're not even in the spreaded here of normalcy. Our

1691
01:35:40,320 --> 01:35:44,240
Speaker 1: number three here at One Bills Drive, we are One

1692
01:35:44,320 --> 01:35:48,240
Speaker 1: Bills Live, Maddie glab and Steve Tasker. We're gonna get

1693
01:35:48,280 --> 01:35:52,360
Speaker 1: into a little bit of a late what's for lunch?

1694
01:35:52,760 --> 01:35:57,840
Speaker 1: Late lunch. No problem with a little late lunch, all right,

1695
01:35:57,880 --> 01:36:00,920
Speaker 1: We got a all right, all right, I'll read these

1696
01:36:02,320 --> 01:36:06,719
Speaker 1: number one on our item for What's for Lunch? Bigger

1697
01:36:06,760 --> 01:36:12,360
Speaker 1: Bill's X factor Zach Moss or Devin Singletary. I think

1698
01:36:12,400 --> 01:36:16,479
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Devin Singletary, right, I think when you

1699
01:36:16,560 --> 01:36:18,559
Speaker 1: work as hard as he. Obviously I'm not saying Zach

1700
01:36:18,600 --> 01:36:20,960
Speaker 1: Moss did not say how do you define X factor?

1701
01:36:21,680 --> 01:36:23,840
Speaker 1: I think somebody's gonna have a different role than they

1702
01:36:23,880 --> 01:36:26,320
Speaker 1: did last year and maybe expanded role, something that you

1703
01:36:26,360 --> 01:36:30,920
Speaker 1: know people aren't expecting so much. Devin Singletary's third year

1704
01:36:31,560 --> 01:36:35,000
Speaker 1: has been good, has had moments of a really good play,

1705
01:36:35,120 --> 01:36:38,200
Speaker 1: but he's never been that guy like that's been Wow,

1706
01:36:38,280 --> 01:36:40,760
Speaker 1: we got a game plan for that guy. I think

1707
01:36:40,800 --> 01:36:42,639
Speaker 1: that may change this year. I think he may get

1708
01:36:42,760 --> 01:36:45,960
Speaker 1: more opportunities, and I think he'll be better with those

1709
01:36:45,960 --> 01:36:48,040
Speaker 1: opportunities because I think the offensive line is going to

1710
01:36:48,080 --> 01:36:50,320
Speaker 1: be a tick better than it was last year or

1711
01:36:50,320 --> 01:36:52,479
Speaker 1: the year before. I look at an X factor with

1712
01:36:52,720 --> 01:36:55,040
Speaker 1: you know, there's a little bit of an unknown to

1713
01:36:55,240 --> 01:36:59,160
Speaker 1: this player. There's talent, but there's an unknown. So I'm

1714
01:36:59,200 --> 01:37:02,200
Speaker 1: gonna say Zach Moss for that reason. We got to

1715
01:37:02,320 --> 01:37:05,120
Speaker 1: see him in his rookie season. He had that ankle

1716
01:37:05,160 --> 01:37:09,120
Speaker 1: injury ended the season early for himself. I mean we

1717
01:37:09,280 --> 01:37:11,879
Speaker 1: saw what he did at Utah, had a bunch of records,

1718
01:37:11,920 --> 01:37:15,320
Speaker 1: scored a bunch of touchdowns. I think offers versatility in

1719
01:37:15,400 --> 01:37:18,280
Speaker 1: the run game, and then when it comes to catching

1720
01:37:18,320 --> 01:37:21,759
Speaker 1: passes from Josh Allen, I think there's an X factor

1721
01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:24,880
Speaker 1: there with him. They're both gonna have a role on

1722
01:37:25,040 --> 01:37:28,559
Speaker 1: this team this season. I agree. I think it's gonna

1723
01:37:28,600 --> 01:37:30,679
Speaker 1: be fun to watch. When Brian day Ball was asked

1724
01:37:30,720 --> 01:37:32,920
Speaker 1: about you know you, what do you think about a

1725
01:37:33,040 --> 01:37:37,040
Speaker 1: lead back? He said, well, the guy who's behind Josh Allen,

1726
01:37:37,080 --> 01:37:39,400
Speaker 1: he's going to be the guy who who's hot. Right,

1727
01:37:39,479 --> 01:37:42,160
Speaker 1: then it may be a different guy every time. Yeah,

1728
01:37:42,320 --> 01:37:44,680
Speaker 1: we got to label someone as your number one guy.

1729
01:37:44,760 --> 01:37:46,360
Speaker 1: We saw that last year. I think we'll see it

1730
01:37:46,400 --> 01:37:48,840
Speaker 1: again this year. I think Matt Brita could be added

1731
01:37:48,880 --> 01:37:50,960
Speaker 1: to the fold there. I think they could rotate three

1732
01:37:51,040 --> 01:37:55,080
Speaker 1: running backs and it wouldn't be something that's weird for

1733
01:37:55,160 --> 01:37:58,519
Speaker 1: this team this next season. So yeah, Zach Moss is

1734
01:37:58,600 --> 01:38:02,240
Speaker 1: my ex fecta all right come back player of the Year.

1735
01:38:02,680 --> 01:38:10,200
Speaker 1: Sa Quan or Dak Dak Dak. I don't even know

1736
01:38:10,280 --> 01:38:13,080
Speaker 1: who s Quan's in the Okay, he's in the conversation.

1737
01:38:13,680 --> 01:38:18,000
Speaker 1: I forgot sa Quon got hurt. Dak Prescott is you

1738
01:38:18,080 --> 01:38:21,000
Speaker 1: may if they can inscribe that trophy, there's nobody else's

1739
01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:23,599
Speaker 1: gonna win that except the Dallas Cowboys quarter. I hate

1740
01:38:23,600 --> 01:38:26,280
Speaker 1: to say it like that. I don't care if he

1741
01:38:26,400 --> 01:38:28,600
Speaker 1: stinks this year. He's still gonna win it if he

1742
01:38:28,720 --> 01:38:31,920
Speaker 1: takes snaps like the Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback, he wins.

1743
01:38:31,960 --> 01:38:34,840
Speaker 1: Sa Quan could win the rushing title, and I think

1744
01:38:34,920 --> 01:38:38,439
Speaker 1: Dak wouldst Yeah, Dak is of course the Vegas favorite.

1745
01:38:38,840 --> 01:38:41,920
Speaker 1: I think it's definitely going to be Dak too. Sa

1746
01:38:42,080 --> 01:38:45,960
Speaker 1: Quon Barkley has a very big role and is a

1747
01:38:46,160 --> 01:38:48,960
Speaker 1: very huge name in the NFL. But the starting quarterback

1748
01:38:49,040 --> 01:38:54,160
Speaker 1: for the Dallas Cowboys, come on, absolutely, it's Dak exactly.

1749
01:38:55,160 --> 01:39:00,840
Speaker 1: Is Bruce arians a Hall of Famer? I gotta say

1750
01:39:01,360 --> 01:39:05,240
Speaker 1: I would say no. I would say no. As a

1751
01:39:05,320 --> 01:39:07,120
Speaker 1: head coach, He's done some good things as a head coach,

1752
01:39:07,160 --> 01:39:09,280
Speaker 1: but he doesn't have a long enough tenure as a

1753
01:39:09,320 --> 01:39:11,960
Speaker 1: head coach. Certainly he's done. He's been great while he's

1754
01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:13,960
Speaker 1: been there, but he got a late start in life

1755
01:39:14,040 --> 01:39:17,639
Speaker 1: as a head coach. Is won a Super Bowl, has

1756
01:39:17,640 --> 01:39:20,320
Speaker 1: done wonderful things with the teams that he's coached. But

1757
01:39:20,439 --> 01:39:22,840
Speaker 1: I would say no, he is not. I would say no.

1758
01:39:23,160 --> 01:39:25,120
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I'm saying no, but let's wait

1759
01:39:25,160 --> 01:39:28,960
Speaker 1: and see. Yeah, we'll see what happens. I might have

1760
01:39:29,080 --> 01:39:32,120
Speaker 1: to rethink that, Yeah, I might have to rethink that.

1761
01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:36,360
Speaker 1: I like his vibe though. He's great. He's a great guy.

1762
01:39:36,400 --> 01:39:39,000
Speaker 1: I've spoken with him, and he's just one of the

1763
01:39:39,080 --> 01:39:41,880
Speaker 1: reasons I think he appeals to owners who are looking

1764
01:39:41,920 --> 01:39:45,320
Speaker 1: for a head coach. Is he sugarcoats nothing. He'll take

1765
01:39:45,360 --> 01:39:47,680
Speaker 1: ownership of his mistakes, but he'll also call you out

1766
01:39:47,720 --> 01:39:50,479
Speaker 1: on yours or he'll tell you what happened and why

1767
01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:55,040
Speaker 1: we didn't weren't successful. He rarely pulls punches. He shoots

1768
01:39:55,200 --> 01:39:58,320
Speaker 1: very straight. Players love that and play hard for it.

1769
01:39:58,320 --> 01:40:01,320
Speaker 1: That's why Sean McDermott is also been that. Sean McDermott

1770
01:40:01,320 --> 01:40:05,000
Speaker 1: has been, you know, brutally honest with his players at times,

1771
01:40:05,040 --> 01:40:09,000
Speaker 1: and that's why players like Bruce Arians too. They appreciate

1772
01:40:09,080 --> 01:40:12,360
Speaker 1: a guy who doesn't sugarcoat it. Yeah. I have talked

1773
01:40:12,400 --> 01:40:15,360
Speaker 1: to so many players about so many different coaches, and

1774
01:40:15,640 --> 01:40:18,400
Speaker 1: when it comes to compliments and when it comes to

1775
01:40:18,479 --> 01:40:21,200
Speaker 1: what players want out of a head coach, it's honesty

1776
01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:25,160
Speaker 1: and it's the brutal truth. Right. So many players that

1777
01:40:25,560 --> 01:40:27,880
Speaker 1: I at least I've talked about the college level have

1778
01:40:28,040 --> 01:40:30,920
Speaker 1: been lied to left and right, depending on who your

1779
01:40:30,960 --> 01:40:33,840
Speaker 1: head coaches, and they just want honesty at the end

1780
01:40:33,840 --> 01:40:36,400
Speaker 1: of the day, and it's like you said, Bruce arians

1781
01:40:36,479 --> 01:40:39,120
Speaker 1: He's he's got it. Sean McDermott has it, Brandon Bean

1782
01:40:39,240 --> 01:40:42,040
Speaker 1: has it. How many of our players have talked about

1783
01:40:42,080 --> 01:40:46,080
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean in his honesty is along with Sean McDermott.

1784
01:40:47,240 --> 01:40:49,880
Speaker 1: It's true. And think about what happened in Houston. Deshaun

1785
01:40:49,960 --> 01:40:52,160
Speaker 1: Watson was he said he will never suit up for

1786
01:40:52,200 --> 01:40:54,040
Speaker 1: that team again. It was because he felt he was

1787
01:40:54,080 --> 01:40:59,559
Speaker 1: lied to. Yeah, and Aaron Rodgers. There's a personal it's

1788
01:40:59,600 --> 01:41:01,720
Speaker 1: a person relationship where he doesn't feel like he's been

1789
01:41:02,439 --> 01:41:04,439
Speaker 1: dealt forth. And I'm not saying he said anybody lie,

1790
01:41:04,520 --> 01:41:08,439
Speaker 1: but it's communication. He doesn't feel like they're doing the

1791
01:41:08,560 --> 01:41:12,880
Speaker 1: right thing. Russ Wilson felt like he was dismissed because

1792
01:41:12,880 --> 01:41:16,200
Speaker 1: of his input. Wasn't you know he wasn't important. It's

1793
01:41:16,280 --> 01:41:18,840
Speaker 1: those kind of relationships and those kind of things that

1794
01:41:18,960 --> 01:41:23,560
Speaker 1: turn players off. They are more than willing buy and

1795
01:41:23,760 --> 01:41:27,759
Speaker 1: large to have the hard truth told to them because

1796
01:41:27,760 --> 01:41:30,479
Speaker 1: at least then they can trust the source. And that's

1797
01:41:30,520 --> 01:41:32,920
Speaker 1: how a coaching staff and a coach builds truck. You

1798
01:41:33,080 --> 01:41:37,000
Speaker 1: be honest with them, and that's you know, when you

1799
01:41:37,479 --> 01:41:39,600
Speaker 1: break that trust, I don't know how you get it

1800
01:41:39,680 --> 01:41:43,240
Speaker 1: back to back from which quarterback is going to be

1801
01:41:43,360 --> 01:41:52,479
Speaker 1: under more pressure in this season? James Winston or Carson Wentz. Wow,

1802
01:41:52,560 --> 01:41:54,760
Speaker 1: that's a good question. That's a good one. I like

1803
01:41:54,920 --> 01:42:03,840
Speaker 1: both those a lot of I would say Wow. I

1804
01:42:03,960 --> 01:42:07,040
Speaker 1: don't know. I think Carson Wentz and Frank Reich it

1805
01:42:07,200 --> 01:42:10,960
Speaker 1: makes sense, right, Yes, absolutely, they've been together before. Carson

1806
01:42:11,000 --> 01:42:14,560
Speaker 1: Wentz was very successful first year though. Yes, as a

1807
01:42:14,640 --> 01:42:17,040
Speaker 1: new quarterback, as a new team, new team, first year

1808
01:42:17,120 --> 01:42:20,400
Speaker 1: back together. Is there more pressure because they're back together,

1809
01:42:21,160 --> 01:42:23,479
Speaker 1: or is there less pressure because it's an environment that

1810
01:42:23,680 --> 01:42:26,400
Speaker 1: he thrived in? Well, he's never been in this environment?

1811
01:42:26,400 --> 01:42:28,960
Speaker 1: Is yeah, this environment? But Jamis Winson has been in

1812
01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:30,920
Speaker 1: New Orleans for a couple of years. He knows that

1813
01:42:31,040 --> 01:42:34,040
Speaker 1: system and Drew Brees was going to the playoffs and

1814
01:42:34,120 --> 01:42:37,120
Speaker 1: going deep every year. With that roster and that team

1815
01:42:37,160 --> 01:42:39,439
Speaker 1: and that coach, cults are gonna be really good this year.

1816
01:42:39,880 --> 01:42:43,160
Speaker 1: They should be. If they're not, if they're not, Carson's

1817
01:42:43,240 --> 01:42:46,320
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is Carson's fault? What about Jamis? Same thing,

1818
01:42:47,280 --> 01:42:52,720
Speaker 1: same coach, same roster, Michael Thomas as a wide out,

1819
01:42:53,200 --> 01:43:02,000
Speaker 1: they got maybe the number one man. I don't know

1820
01:43:02,040 --> 01:43:04,719
Speaker 1: which one's under more. I think they're almost identical. I'll

1821
01:43:04,800 --> 01:43:09,599
Speaker 1: say I'll say Jamis Jamis, although because Jamis has taken

1822
01:43:09,640 --> 01:43:12,960
Speaker 1: over from Drew Brees and it's it's it's pressure packed

1823
01:43:13,720 --> 01:43:17,080
Speaker 1: to take over for an icon like that. Carson Wentz

1824
01:43:17,160 --> 01:43:18,760
Speaker 1: just the next guy on the list, I mean Dad,

1825
01:43:19,400 --> 01:43:23,120
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck, Boom Gone, Jacoby Brissett, right, But I feel

1826
01:43:23,160 --> 01:43:27,400
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers Carson Wentz could be more of a Carson

1827
01:43:27,479 --> 01:43:29,880
Speaker 1: Wentz could be around for longer than those guys because

1828
01:43:29,920 --> 01:43:31,920
Speaker 1: I feel like they look at Carson Wentz is maybe

1829
01:43:32,040 --> 01:43:35,120
Speaker 1: more of a not someone who's gonna be there forever,

1830
01:43:35,960 --> 01:43:39,920
Speaker 1: but he's he could be their long term. Same with

1831
01:43:40,000 --> 01:43:43,320
Speaker 1: the Jamis, I feel like less is expected of Jamis.

1832
01:43:43,560 --> 01:43:45,680
Speaker 1: The bar is lower for Jamis, So that's why I'm

1833
01:43:45,720 --> 01:43:47,760
Speaker 1: saying it's it's Carson Wentz. Right. You might be right.

1834
01:43:47,840 --> 01:43:50,080
Speaker 1: The bar is lower for Jamis because we have never

1835
01:43:50,240 --> 01:43:53,760
Speaker 1: seen him play at an MVP level. He hasn't done

1836
01:43:53,760 --> 01:43:55,880
Speaker 1: it yet. We have seen Carson Wentz play at an

1837
01:43:55,960 --> 01:43:58,040
Speaker 1: MVP level. I don't know if Jamis can do that.

1838
01:43:58,439 --> 01:44:00,559
Speaker 1: We know Carson can. I think you're right. I think

1839
01:44:00,560 --> 01:44:05,040
Speaker 1: it is Carson Wentz. The further you dig into it. Yeah,

1840
01:44:05,120 --> 01:44:09,120
Speaker 1: I think it's Carson. Which quarterback selected first overall will

1841
01:44:09,160 --> 01:44:13,000
Speaker 1: win the most games in twenty twenty one. Yeah, that's

1842
01:44:13,000 --> 01:44:16,880
Speaker 1: a great one. It's Trevor Lawrence, Joe Burrow, Kyler Murray,

1843
01:44:17,280 --> 01:44:24,120
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, Jared Goff, Jamis Winston, Cam Newton, and Matthew Stafford.

1844
01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:27,559
Speaker 1: I think it's got to be Matt staff think too.

1845
01:44:28,479 --> 01:44:31,760
Speaker 1: I forget all those guys were taken first overall. Stafford,

1846
01:44:31,880 --> 01:44:35,120
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, Jameis Winston, Jared Goff, Baker, Mayfield, Kyler Murray,

1847
01:44:35,200 --> 01:44:38,599
Speaker 1: Joe burrowed Trevor Lawrence. He's got to be between Baker

1848
01:44:38,680 --> 01:44:41,800
Speaker 1: and Stafford. Yeah, that's true. Baker's gonna win a bunch

1849
01:44:41,840 --> 01:44:45,040
Speaker 1: of games too. Kyler Murray's no slouchy Kyler Murray too. Yeah,

1850
01:44:45,080 --> 01:44:47,639
Speaker 1: you're right. I think it's Matt Stafford. I think it's Matt.

1851
01:44:47,760 --> 01:44:50,640
Speaker 1: They are the Rams always seem to be all in

1852
01:44:50,800 --> 01:44:53,280
Speaker 1: every year. I mean they're trading first round draft picks

1853
01:44:54,240 --> 01:44:55,720
Speaker 1: all that stuff, and they went out and they go

1854
01:44:55,840 --> 01:44:58,759
Speaker 1: get Matt Stafford, got rid of a guy, a quarterback

1855
01:44:58,800 --> 01:45:03,200
Speaker 1: who's gotten them to the super Bowl. Yeah, I think

1856
01:45:03,520 --> 01:45:07,439
Speaker 1: Stafford's got an interest because Sean McVeigh is your head coach.

1857
01:45:07,560 --> 01:45:09,320
Speaker 1: There's a lack of He said a lot of great

1858
01:45:09,360 --> 01:45:11,920
Speaker 1: things about Matthew Stafford so far, there's a lot of

1859
01:45:12,040 --> 01:45:14,800
Speaker 1: lack of continuity. I mean, this his first year in

1860
01:45:14,880 --> 01:45:17,719
Speaker 1: this offense and all that. What about what about Baker?

1861
01:45:17,920 --> 01:45:22,519
Speaker 1: I'm I'm saying Baker. The Browns have a pretty sick

1862
01:45:22,880 --> 01:45:29,080
Speaker 1: roster too. They won some games last year, like, yeah,

1863
01:45:29,520 --> 01:45:31,680
Speaker 1: more more is expected out of him this year to

1864
01:45:31,760 --> 01:45:34,720
Speaker 1: take another step forward. There's the newness with Matt Stafford

1865
01:45:34,760 --> 01:45:39,479
Speaker 1: and the Rams. Yeah, Kyler Murray's a great option too. Yeah.

1866
01:45:39,760 --> 01:45:42,679
Speaker 1: And I'll say this too, with Pittsburgh in the shape

1867
01:45:42,720 --> 01:45:46,519
Speaker 1: they're in Baltimore, in the shape they're in Cincinnati, I

1868
01:45:46,680 --> 01:45:51,599
Speaker 1: think I think Cleveland's got an easier devision schedule than

1869
01:45:51,680 --> 01:45:57,320
Speaker 1: the Niners, Seahawks, Cardinals. For the Rams, Yeah, I might

1870
01:45:57,360 --> 01:46:02,880
Speaker 1: take Baker too. I might take him too. Yeah. Biggest

1871
01:46:02,960 --> 01:46:06,559
Speaker 1: winner in the Julio Jones trade, Ryan Tannehill or Derek

1872
01:46:06,960 --> 01:46:14,679
Speaker 1: Henry was Ryan Tannehill. Ryan Tannehill lucky guy. He is, Yeah,

1873
01:46:14,960 --> 01:46:18,120
Speaker 1: Derek Listen, Derek Henry is still gonna get beat up

1874
01:46:18,200 --> 01:46:20,559
Speaker 1: all year. He's still run the rock. He's gonna carry

1875
01:46:20,600 --> 01:46:23,200
Speaker 1: the ball three hundred plus times a year, so he's yeah,

1876
01:46:23,960 --> 01:46:27,360
Speaker 1: it was Ryan Tannehill because there's always gonna be somebody

1877
01:46:27,360 --> 01:46:30,120
Speaker 1: to throw that boy Julio Jones open when he's not open,

1878
01:46:31,520 --> 01:46:34,000
Speaker 1: just just give him a chance on the field here,

1879
01:46:34,120 --> 01:46:36,479
Speaker 1: let him do it three guys around you here. Don't

1880
01:46:36,520 --> 01:46:38,640
Speaker 1: do it against the Bills. Okay, yeah, that's right. But

1881
01:46:38,800 --> 01:46:43,160
Speaker 1: that's yeah, I think no question. Is Tannehill more impactful offseason?

1882
01:46:43,320 --> 01:46:47,840
Speaker 1: Move Orlando Brown to the Chiefs or Matthew Stafford to

1883
01:46:47,960 --> 01:46:52,400
Speaker 1: the Rams. Stafford to the Rams. And we talked about

1884
01:46:52,479 --> 01:46:56,760
Speaker 1: this the Chiefs in their offensive line yesterday, and you

1885
01:46:56,840 --> 01:46:59,880
Speaker 1: were saying they had a good offensive line. They were

1886
01:47:00,040 --> 01:47:02,280
Speaker 1: just a little banged up. They replace it with two

1887
01:47:02,320 --> 01:47:05,200
Speaker 1: tackles out. Yeah, now they had some opt outs as

1888
01:47:05,240 --> 01:47:07,599
Speaker 1: well on their offensive line, but they got through the season.

1889
01:47:07,680 --> 01:47:09,880
Speaker 1: They were the number one seed with that offensive line.

1890
01:47:09,880 --> 01:47:12,200
Speaker 1: What are you talking about. It's kind of like they

1891
01:47:12,320 --> 01:47:15,080
Speaker 1: didn't have a good offensive line. So now they lose

1892
01:47:15,160 --> 01:47:17,720
Speaker 1: both tackles now all of a sudden, you know, their

1893
01:47:17,760 --> 01:47:20,559
Speaker 1: offensive line was stunk all you know, they had two

1894
01:47:20,600 --> 01:47:25,760
Speaker 1: tackles get hurt. So yeah, I'm and Orlando Brown's a

1895
01:47:25,800 --> 01:47:29,040
Speaker 1: good player. He's gonna help, no question. But Matt Stafford

1896
01:47:29,120 --> 01:47:30,920
Speaker 1: deal was the first one that happened in the off

1897
01:47:31,000 --> 01:47:37,200
Speaker 1: season of any note that's still it steels so shifted ago.

1898
01:47:37,360 --> 01:47:42,040
Speaker 1: That's the one that shifted the most power in the NFC. Yeah, Yeah,

1899
01:47:42,120 --> 01:47:44,840
Speaker 1: I agree with you, Matt Stafford. To the rams, who

1900
01:47:45,120 --> 01:47:51,479
Speaker 1: wins the NFC East Washington or Dallas. Washington's got the defense,

1901
01:47:51,920 --> 01:47:57,360
Speaker 1: They've got a good defensive line, Fitz Magic. I'll never

1902
01:47:57,439 --> 01:48:03,360
Speaker 1: bet against fits. Dallas, You've got the offense. I think

1903
01:48:06,120 --> 01:48:10,840
Speaker 1: does Dak have a great season. Yeah, I'm gonna take Washington.

1904
01:48:13,560 --> 01:48:16,160
Speaker 1: It's gonna be up and down. It's gonna be up

1905
01:48:16,160 --> 01:48:18,519
Speaker 1: and down, no question about it. But I'll take I'll

1906
01:48:18,560 --> 01:48:21,720
Speaker 1: take Washington. I like Ron Rivera as a head coach

1907
01:48:21,840 --> 01:48:26,000
Speaker 1: way more than I like Mike McCarthy. I like Washington's

1908
01:48:26,160 --> 01:48:29,240
Speaker 1: you know, they kind of they were a little bit

1909
01:48:29,240 --> 01:48:30,720
Speaker 1: of let's let's all be on it. They were a

1910
01:48:30,760 --> 01:48:34,439
Speaker 1: little bit of a mess until they hired Ron Rivera

1911
01:48:34,880 --> 01:48:40,439
Speaker 1: and he has steadied that ship. I'm saying Washington. I'm

1912
01:48:40,439 --> 01:48:42,280
Speaker 1: gonna say Dallas just because you know you have the

1913
01:48:42,320 --> 01:48:44,800
Speaker 1: four shirt pieces. Fits is a little bit of a

1914
01:48:46,080 --> 01:48:48,680
Speaker 1: up and down type. We all know it. He's a

1915
01:48:48,760 --> 01:48:52,160
Speaker 1: roll of the dice. Yeah, but he but it's when

1916
01:48:52,200 --> 01:48:55,120
Speaker 1: he's on. He's on. Yeah, you're done. You can't beat him.

1917
01:48:56,640 --> 01:49:00,679
Speaker 1: Which non quarterback rookie will have the base impact this season,

1918
01:49:00,880 --> 01:49:08,800
Speaker 1: Naja Harris or Jamar Chase. Pittsburgh didn't have much of

1919
01:49:08,880 --> 01:49:13,360
Speaker 1: a run game at all. I'll say Jamar Chase. He's

1920
01:49:13,560 --> 01:49:17,560
Speaker 1: with Cincinnati, right, Yeah, he's with the Bengals. He's with

1921
01:49:17,680 --> 01:49:20,360
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. Yeah, I'm gonna say Chase. I'm gonna say

1922
01:49:20,439 --> 01:49:23,920
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase. I don't think Naji Harris alone can make

1923
01:49:24,120 --> 01:49:30,200
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's running game resurrect because they stopped trying last year.

1924
01:49:30,280 --> 01:49:32,280
Speaker 1: Their offensive line was They did not do enough to

1925
01:49:32,320 --> 01:49:35,120
Speaker 1: fix their offensive line this last year. I think that's

1926
01:49:35,160 --> 01:49:37,880
Speaker 1: a I think that's a big mistake by Pittsburgh. So

1927
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Jamar Chase. I think Joe Burrow knows

1928
01:49:42,439 --> 01:49:44,920
Speaker 1: what kind of player he is. Oh yeah, I think

1929
01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:47,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna find him. He's gonna teach him some things

1930
01:49:47,320 --> 01:49:52,040
Speaker 1: and give him some confidence. I think Cincinnati did some

1931
01:49:52,200 --> 01:49:55,559
Speaker 1: work on their offensive line. Is gonna help Joe Burrow. Yeah,

1932
01:49:55,640 --> 01:49:57,479
Speaker 1: I think I think Jamar Chase is gonna have a

1933
01:49:57,520 --> 01:50:03,599
Speaker 1: bigger impact than Naji Harris. I think Naji Harris. Yeah,

1934
01:50:03,720 --> 01:50:05,320
Speaker 1: I just don't think he can do it on his own.

1935
01:50:05,360 --> 01:50:07,519
Speaker 1: And you and you know running backs can't do it

1936
01:50:07,600 --> 01:50:10,600
Speaker 1: on their own. They can't. Jamar Chase is gonna be

1937
01:50:10,640 --> 01:50:12,479
Speaker 1: fun to watch with Joe Burrow just because they have

1938
01:50:12,600 --> 01:50:17,080
Speaker 1: that college connection. Naj Harris I was a big fan

1939
01:50:17,200 --> 01:50:19,519
Speaker 1: of his tape. I know a lot of people like

1940
01:50:20,000 --> 01:50:23,360
Speaker 1: liked etn Over Harris. I was a big fan of

1941
01:50:23,439 --> 01:50:26,000
Speaker 1: Naj Harris and his tape and just how he looked

1942
01:50:26,080 --> 01:50:29,200
Speaker 1: like Derrick Henry and how if you have if you

1943
01:50:29,280 --> 01:50:31,639
Speaker 1: have someone on your team who can do similar things

1944
01:50:31,720 --> 01:50:36,080
Speaker 1: to Derrick Henry, yeah, watch out and that you know.

1945
01:50:36,240 --> 01:50:39,040
Speaker 1: That's and Pittsburgh sees those guys once in a while.

1946
01:50:39,080 --> 01:50:41,240
Speaker 1: You know, Tennessee is in the conference and the Bills

1947
01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:43,400
Speaker 1: have played those guys like three or four straight years.

1948
01:50:43,880 --> 01:50:46,200
Speaker 1: So you get you get a belly full of of

1949
01:50:46,520 --> 01:50:49,400
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, and once you see him a couple of times,

1950
01:50:49,400 --> 01:50:51,120
Speaker 1: it's like, where can we get one of those guys?

1951
01:50:51,720 --> 01:50:54,599
Speaker 1: And that's all. You know, he's a big dude. Yeah,

1952
01:50:55,160 --> 01:50:57,920
Speaker 1: so he's gonna he's gonna dish it out, no question.

1953
01:50:58,000 --> 01:51:01,840
Speaker 1: About it. But it's he's gonna be playing in a

1954
01:51:01,960 --> 01:51:05,479
Speaker 1: league where he's not going to be playing dental students anymore.

1955
01:51:05,479 --> 01:51:07,400
Speaker 1: He's gonna be playing guys who can dish it out too.

1956
01:51:07,560 --> 01:51:11,160
Speaker 1: So we'll see played at Alabama. Though I'm saying, I'm saying,

1957
01:51:11,200 --> 01:51:14,679
Speaker 1: Naja Harris, Alright, I don't think he'll have a pretty

1958
01:51:14,720 --> 01:51:17,599
Speaker 1: big impact take by you. We know what we'll see.

1959
01:51:17,640 --> 01:51:21,559
Speaker 1: We'll revisit this huge mistake weeks six. Sometimes it got

1960
01:51:21,640 --> 01:51:24,520
Speaker 1: to be different than you. Steve cannot agree on everything.

1961
01:51:24,760 --> 01:51:29,799
Speaker 1: A Matthew Stafford will be an MVP candidate in twenty

1962
01:51:29,920 --> 01:51:33,960
Speaker 1: twenty one, yes, or does it mean a legit candidate.

1963
01:51:34,080 --> 01:51:36,040
Speaker 1: It's like, here's the thing. At the end of the

1964
01:51:36,080 --> 01:51:38,559
Speaker 1: season he'll be one. Or during the season they're gonna say, hey,

1965
01:51:38,600 --> 01:51:41,880
Speaker 1: he's playing an MVP level. Um, let's say during the season.

1966
01:51:42,200 --> 01:51:44,360
Speaker 1: At any point during the season, I'm gonna say yes.

1967
01:51:44,520 --> 01:51:47,080
Speaker 1: I think he'll put together a stretch of games where

1968
01:51:47,120 --> 01:51:50,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be like wow, and then you know, I

1969
01:51:50,840 --> 01:51:52,720
Speaker 1: don't know that he'll be able to finish it off,

1970
01:51:52,760 --> 01:51:54,600
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna say yes, I think they'll be like

1971
01:51:54,880 --> 01:51:58,840
Speaker 1: in the between weeks one and twelve, there'll be a

1972
01:51:58,920 --> 01:52:01,400
Speaker 1: stretch in there, maybe one through six, or like Russ

1973
01:52:01,479 --> 01:52:03,320
Speaker 1: Wilson last year, you get into week four or five,

1974
01:52:03,360 --> 01:52:05,760
Speaker 1: he's like, Wow, Russ Wilson's putting together a year, and

1975
01:52:05,840 --> 01:52:08,000
Speaker 1: then it goes away. Team loses two or three straight

1976
01:52:08,240 --> 01:52:11,639
Speaker 1: and he's out of the running. So I think, yeah,

1977
01:52:11,720 --> 01:52:13,840
Speaker 1: I think Matt Stafford at some point this year will

1978
01:52:13,880 --> 01:52:16,160
Speaker 1: be playing at that level. But I don't think at

1979
01:52:16,200 --> 01:52:19,000
Speaker 1: the end of the year he will be. I agree that.

1980
01:52:19,240 --> 01:52:21,439
Speaker 1: I think there has to be a stretch where him

1981
01:52:21,479 --> 01:52:24,479
Speaker 1: and Sean McVay are just gonna be on par or

1982
01:52:24,560 --> 01:52:28,160
Speaker 1: linking up with each other. Communication is going to be there.

1983
01:52:28,840 --> 01:52:31,240
Speaker 1: Sean McVay has already said so many great things about

1984
01:52:31,280 --> 01:52:33,240
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford, so I think there's going to be a

1985
01:52:33,320 --> 01:52:36,160
Speaker 1: point in the season where it's it's clicking on offense

1986
01:52:36,280 --> 01:52:38,639
Speaker 1: for them. I agree. I agree. They're gonna look good

1987
01:52:38,720 --> 01:52:40,680
Speaker 1: at times, no question about all, and they may look

1988
01:52:40,720 --> 01:52:44,400
Speaker 1: good all year, and he may finish it in the running.

1989
01:52:44,400 --> 01:52:48,600
Speaker 1: I don't think he'll win it, but he I have

1990
01:52:48,760 --> 01:52:51,280
Speaker 1: always thought he was an elite quarterback, very talent. He's

1991
01:52:51,280 --> 01:52:53,960
Speaker 1: got arm talent like nobody's business. And I think playing

1992
01:52:54,000 --> 01:52:56,720
Speaker 1: in a new place, with a new head coach and

1993
01:52:56,760 --> 01:53:00,439
Speaker 1: a play caller of Sean mcvay's reputation, And I think

1994
01:53:01,080 --> 01:53:03,120
Speaker 1: there are going to be stretches this year where you know,

1995
01:53:03,360 --> 01:53:05,240
Speaker 1: he'll be playing as well as any quarterback, as well

1996
01:53:05,240 --> 01:53:08,799
Speaker 1: as anybody in the league. Better wide receiver class twenty

1997
01:53:08,880 --> 01:53:12,559
Speaker 1: nineteen or twenty twenty. Twenty nineteen, you got DK, Metcalf,

1998
01:53:12,640 --> 01:53:18,960
Speaker 1: Marquis Brown, AJ Brown, Kill, Harry Right, twenty twenty, Jerry, Judy,

1999
01:53:19,080 --> 01:53:25,000
Speaker 1: See Lamb, Henry Ruggs, Justin Jefferson, Laviska Chenault. I'm gonna

2000
01:53:25,000 --> 01:53:28,439
Speaker 1: say twenty twenty. I'm gonna say twenty twenty and maybe

2001
01:53:28,479 --> 01:53:32,080
Speaker 1: even twenty twenty one. Yeah, this year's wide receiver class

2002
01:53:32,160 --> 01:53:36,280
Speaker 1: is going to be really good. Yeah, I uh, I mean,

2003
01:53:36,400 --> 01:53:41,719
Speaker 1: DK is very good. AJ Brown's very good, but Judy

2004
01:53:41,800 --> 01:53:46,240
Speaker 1: and Lamb and Jefferson they're Yeah, they're really good. I'm

2005
01:53:46,280 --> 01:53:49,160
Speaker 1: taking the twenty twenty. Yeah, I'm taking the twenty twenty class.

2006
01:53:49,479 --> 01:53:51,479
Speaker 1: And I don't I couldn't even have told before I

2007
01:53:51,560 --> 01:53:54,519
Speaker 1: looked at this and kind of I couldn't have remembered

2008
01:53:54,560 --> 01:53:57,479
Speaker 1: who they are because they're so There's so many wide

2009
01:53:57,520 --> 01:54:01,240
Speaker 1: outs coming out every year that are so good, so good, big, strong, fast,

2010
01:54:01,560 --> 01:54:06,080
Speaker 1: you know, can get the ball. So yeah, I'm you know,

2011
01:54:06,560 --> 01:54:08,880
Speaker 1: flip a coin, really going top to bottom. But twenty

2012
01:54:08,960 --> 01:54:11,040
Speaker 1: twenty on those the top guys, I like that. There's

2013
01:54:11,400 --> 01:54:15,120
Speaker 1: I think the twenty twenty class goes high quality deeper

2014
01:54:15,280 --> 01:54:18,760
Speaker 1: than the twenty nineteen class. We'll do one more here.

2015
01:54:19,200 --> 01:54:23,519
Speaker 1: Who will win a Super Bowl first? Lamar Jackson or

2016
01:54:23,680 --> 01:54:30,439
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray Lamar? I think Lamar is Baltimore is an

2017
01:54:30,520 --> 01:54:35,080
Speaker 1: organization who sets that standard. The Arizona Cardinals are not.

2018
01:54:35,640 --> 01:54:38,160
Speaker 1: They've been to a super Bowl, no question, and maybe

2019
01:54:38,160 --> 01:54:42,120
Speaker 1: you should have won it and they didn't. But I

2020
01:54:42,200 --> 01:54:47,320
Speaker 1: would say Lamar Jackson is in an organization that knows

2021
01:54:47,480 --> 01:54:50,200
Speaker 1: how to build a team. With John Harbor and those guys,

2022
01:54:50,240 --> 01:54:52,120
Speaker 1: they know how to build a team, put a team together.

2023
01:54:52,200 --> 01:54:55,440
Speaker 1: They can go the distance. Yes, you saw how nimble

2024
01:54:55,520 --> 01:54:57,360
Speaker 1: they were from year to year when they said, okay,

2025
01:54:57,440 --> 01:54:59,520
Speaker 1: Lamar's our guy, here's what we have to do, and

2026
01:54:59,640 --> 01:55:05,960
Speaker 1: they did it. And you know, certainly they need to

2027
01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:10,440
Speaker 1: get do better in the playoffs, but that's a team

2028
01:55:10,560 --> 01:55:12,120
Speaker 1: that knows how to put together a winner, so I

2029
01:55:12,160 --> 01:55:14,320
Speaker 1: think they'll be able to do it again. Arizona as

2030
01:55:14,400 --> 01:55:17,520
Speaker 1: yet to prove that to me, Bruce Arians did it

2031
01:55:17,640 --> 01:55:20,200
Speaker 1: for him or it was no as Ken wizzen Hunt

2032
01:55:20,240 --> 01:55:24,960
Speaker 1: did it for him, but they can't do it consistently enough. Yeah,

2033
01:55:25,000 --> 01:55:27,080
Speaker 1: I think Arizona with this squad, they were a little

2034
01:55:27,120 --> 01:55:29,800
Speaker 1: bit too up and down last year, right. I mean

2035
01:55:30,480 --> 01:55:33,080
Speaker 1: you could say the same thing about the Ravens too,

2036
01:55:33,320 --> 01:55:36,720
Speaker 1: but it was a game here, a game there where

2037
01:55:36,760 --> 01:55:39,800
Speaker 1: they didn't play like themselves. And I think with hardball,

2038
01:55:39,960 --> 01:55:43,280
Speaker 1: you have a system that is completely for the players.

2039
01:55:43,360 --> 01:55:45,360
Speaker 1: And I think he was not one of the first

2040
01:55:45,400 --> 01:55:47,960
Speaker 1: coaches to do it, but Lamar Jackson was a different

2041
01:55:48,000 --> 01:55:51,840
Speaker 1: type of quarterback coming out of college football, and you

2042
01:55:52,120 --> 01:55:54,960
Speaker 1: had to commit to his strengths in order to build

2043
01:55:55,000 --> 01:55:59,520
Speaker 1: an offense that works for him. There was no this

2044
01:55:59,720 --> 01:56:01,440
Speaker 1: is the offense that I like, and this is the

2045
01:56:01,520 --> 01:56:03,840
Speaker 1: offense that Lamar Jackson is going to run. It is

2046
01:56:04,160 --> 01:56:06,840
Speaker 1: this is the offense that works for Lamar Jackson, and

2047
01:56:06,960 --> 01:56:10,360
Speaker 1: we will run this offense and it'll be successful. That's right,

2048
01:56:10,480 --> 01:56:13,320
Speaker 1: because of him. Yeah, and he's he's an elite athlete.

2049
01:56:13,440 --> 01:56:16,040
Speaker 1: He's a he's really a unicorn. He can throw the

2050
01:56:16,080 --> 01:56:18,920
Speaker 1: football a mile. He's got a really nice arm. Now,

2051
01:56:19,000 --> 01:56:20,800
Speaker 1: certainly you can say what you what you want about

2052
01:56:20,840 --> 01:56:22,840
Speaker 1: his ability to read a defense or throw it or

2053
01:56:22,920 --> 01:56:25,480
Speaker 1: throw the underneath row, all the things that they've been criticized,

2054
01:56:25,560 --> 01:56:27,120
Speaker 1: or it doesn't throw it outside the numbers, all that,

2055
01:56:27,360 --> 01:56:30,040
Speaker 1: but the guy can play. He's a really good player,

2056
01:56:30,080 --> 01:56:33,200
Speaker 1: and he's an elite athlete. Those dimensions, when you build

2057
01:56:33,200 --> 01:56:37,680
Speaker 1: a team around it, you win a lot of game works. Yeah,

2058
01:56:37,760 --> 01:56:40,560
Speaker 1: you win a lot of games, so I think, and

2059
01:56:40,680 --> 01:56:45,080
Speaker 1: that's why I think Baltimore more so than any other squad,

2060
01:56:45,520 --> 01:56:48,200
Speaker 1: and you know, a lot like other teams in the NFL,

2061
01:56:48,800 --> 01:56:50,680
Speaker 1: they go with what they've got and they go all

2062
01:56:50,760 --> 01:56:53,600
Speaker 1: in with it, and there's something to be said for it.

2063
01:56:53,680 --> 01:56:55,360
Speaker 1: They got to, you know, solid, They've always had a

2064
01:56:55,360 --> 01:57:02,040
Speaker 1: solid defense in Baltimore, and with Lamar at quarterback, they've

2065
01:57:02,040 --> 01:57:05,400
Speaker 1: always got a chance. The guy's an absolutely big play

2066
01:57:05,480 --> 01:57:07,360
Speaker 1: waiting to happen, and he's got the ball in his

2067
01:57:07,440 --> 01:57:11,440
Speaker 1: hands every single snap. All right. That was What's for lunch,

2068
01:57:11,520 --> 01:57:15,480
Speaker 1: presented by Independent Health. You deserve the red shirt treatment.

2069
01:57:15,520 --> 01:57:17,400
Speaker 1: We're going to take a few minutes off. We will

2070
01:57:17,440 --> 01:57:20,480
Speaker 1: be back here on One Bills Live. We're presented by

2071
01:57:20,520 --> 01:57:38,760
Speaker 1: Clyde Health on Buffalo Bills Radio. We're back on one

2072
01:57:39,080 --> 01:57:42,560
Speaker 1: Bills Live. As we round out this Thursday show, we'll

2073
01:57:42,640 --> 01:57:44,480
Speaker 1: go back to the tweet sheet, which is brought to

2074
01:57:44,480 --> 01:57:47,560
Speaker 1: you by Corgan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company

2075
01:57:47,640 --> 01:57:50,520
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. Which game do the Bills have

2076
01:57:50,680 --> 01:57:54,360
Speaker 1: to win most on this twenty one schedule? Some great games,

2077
01:57:54,680 --> 01:57:59,160
Speaker 1: some super important games from weeks one throughout the entire

2078
01:57:59,560 --> 01:58:02,080
Speaker 1: season in going on, just in the playoffs too, but

2079
01:58:03,000 --> 01:58:06,240
Speaker 1: we're just saying the regular season, which game do they

2080
01:58:06,280 --> 01:58:09,160
Speaker 1: have to win most? So Nick t says, I really

2081
01:58:09,240 --> 01:58:12,120
Speaker 1: need to see us beat the Titans. They rocked us

2082
01:58:12,240 --> 01:58:14,760
Speaker 1: last year in a game that was weirdly scheduled, but

2083
01:58:14,880 --> 01:58:17,800
Speaker 1: even before that, they always seemed to play us tough,

2084
01:58:18,200 --> 01:58:20,800
Speaker 1: even with Mariota. I don't know what it is, but

2085
01:58:20,920 --> 01:58:23,640
Speaker 1: their team always scares me. I hope we prove our

2086
01:58:23,720 --> 01:58:27,480
Speaker 1: dominance this year. That's kind of where I met with

2087
01:58:27,560 --> 01:58:32,080
Speaker 1: these Titans last year. It was so annoying. This year,

2088
01:58:32,200 --> 01:58:37,120
Speaker 1: I just want to stomp them. We only scored sixteen

2089
01:58:37,200 --> 01:58:42,440
Speaker 1: points against them last year. I think forty something sixteen, right,

2090
01:58:42,720 --> 01:58:46,080
Speaker 1: forty two to sixteen loss. Yeah, and it got a hand.

2091
01:58:46,320 --> 01:58:50,760
Speaker 1: It was scoring game of the year. Of the regular season.

2092
01:58:50,920 --> 01:58:53,400
Speaker 1: That was a game when the Bills didn't know if

2093
01:58:53,400 --> 01:58:55,320
Speaker 1: they were playing or anybody else was going to play.

2094
01:58:55,360 --> 01:58:59,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just you know, um, it was

2095
01:58:59,360 --> 01:59:01,880
Speaker 1: a bad night, no question. The Bills hadn't won two

2096
01:59:01,920 --> 01:59:04,400
Speaker 1: years ago against Philadelphia in Orchard Park. That had a

2097
01:59:04,480 --> 01:59:08,840
Speaker 1: bad day. But one of the characteristics about the Bills

2098
01:59:08,960 --> 01:59:11,880
Speaker 1: is that they're rarely at the center of a bad performance.

2099
01:59:11,920 --> 01:59:13,960
Speaker 1: Even in the game in the AFC Championship game, they

2100
01:59:14,000 --> 01:59:16,920
Speaker 1: gotta be by really good team and they but they

2101
01:59:16,960 --> 01:59:19,080
Speaker 1: didn't play their game. You know, you think about it,

2102
01:59:20,040 --> 01:59:21,640
Speaker 1: they just didn't look like the same team over the

2103
01:59:21,760 --> 01:59:23,640
Speaker 1: last that they did over the last two months of

2104
01:59:23,680 --> 01:59:27,960
Speaker 1: the regular season for whatever reason. And I've said it

2105
01:59:28,320 --> 01:59:30,440
Speaker 1: a bunch of times, you got to play well on

2106
01:59:30,560 --> 01:59:33,400
Speaker 1: the day of the important games. The Bills are good enough,

2107
01:59:33,480 --> 01:59:37,080
Speaker 1: talented enough, skilled enough, They got enough great players to

2108
01:59:37,160 --> 01:59:40,440
Speaker 1: beat anybody on any given day and most teams on

2109
01:59:40,600 --> 01:59:43,760
Speaker 1: most days. But you've got to play well against teams

2110
01:59:43,800 --> 01:59:47,000
Speaker 1: that are really the stacked like you are. And they

2111
01:59:47,080 --> 01:59:52,080
Speaker 1: didn't on a couple of occasions last year, the first

2112
01:59:52,160 --> 01:59:55,520
Speaker 1: Chief the first Patriots game where they did pull out

2113
01:59:55,560 --> 01:59:58,400
Speaker 1: a victory, didn't play all that well. The Chiefs Monday

2114
01:59:58,480 --> 02:00:00,240
Speaker 1: night game here in Orchard Park in a range storm

2115
02:00:00,280 --> 02:00:02,040
Speaker 1: took them out of their game. Didn't play very well.

2116
02:00:02,560 --> 02:00:04,680
Speaker 1: The Tennessee Titan game was their worst game of the

2117
02:00:04,760 --> 02:00:08,520
Speaker 1: season last year. Didn't play very well and they weren't

2118
02:00:08,720 --> 02:00:10,880
Speaker 1: as sharp as we had seen them for two months

2119
02:00:10,960 --> 02:00:13,840
Speaker 1: on the in the AFC Championship game. You know, you

2120
02:00:13,960 --> 02:00:17,440
Speaker 1: gotta play well now this team, you know, even if

2121
02:00:17,960 --> 02:00:20,600
Speaker 1: think about it, the Jets the second time they played

2122
02:00:20,600 --> 02:00:25,880
Speaker 1: the Jets last year, six field goals and they and

2123
02:00:26,000 --> 02:00:30,200
Speaker 1: they crushed that team, that team right that, I mean,

2124
02:00:31,200 --> 02:00:33,600
Speaker 1: that was not even It wasn't even a close game.

2125
02:00:33,800 --> 02:00:37,080
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you that the scores eighteen eighteen to ten.

2126
02:00:37,640 --> 02:00:40,800
Speaker 1: They did not play well and still beat that team.

2127
02:00:41,840 --> 02:00:44,200
Speaker 1: You know that, that's how good this team is. There

2128
02:00:44,240 --> 02:00:46,920
Speaker 1: are teams out there that can't beat this team unless

2129
02:00:46,960 --> 02:00:52,360
Speaker 1: it's you know, one of those flukey situations. So when

2130
02:00:52,440 --> 02:00:55,400
Speaker 1: you play great teams, you gotta play great to give

2131
02:00:55,440 --> 02:00:57,720
Speaker 1: yourself a chance. That doesn't even mean that you'll beat them. Then,

2132
02:00:58,320 --> 02:01:00,000
Speaker 1: you know, the Chiefs game, the Chiefs are a team

2133
02:01:00,160 --> 02:01:04,160
Speaker 1: that's so good that they I mean they slept walk

2134
02:01:04,560 --> 02:01:07,840
Speaker 1: They were sleepwalking through the regular season last year, and

2135
02:01:07,920 --> 02:01:10,160
Speaker 1: then they got the playoffs, they almost got nipped by

2136
02:01:10,160 --> 02:01:12,560
Speaker 1: the Browns before they woke up and then really laid

2137
02:01:12,560 --> 02:01:16,720
Speaker 1: it on the Bills, right. So the Bills did that

2138
02:01:16,800 --> 02:01:19,320
Speaker 1: a couple of times last year. They you know, they

2139
02:01:19,360 --> 02:01:21,440
Speaker 1: got to the point where they slept walk They were

2140
02:01:21,440 --> 02:01:24,120
Speaker 1: sleepwalking against the Jets in the second in the second meeting,

2141
02:01:24,760 --> 02:01:27,920
Speaker 1: you know, and then you know they get some of

2142
02:01:27,920 --> 02:01:30,120
Speaker 1: these other games. You know that the Chargers, I think

2143
02:01:30,160 --> 02:01:32,880
Speaker 1: they were sleepwalking through that game a little bit. They

2144
02:01:33,000 --> 02:01:35,880
Speaker 1: ran the ball all over the place. Then they kind

2145
02:01:35,920 --> 02:01:38,360
Speaker 1: of woke up and they played really well down the stretch.

2146
02:01:38,840 --> 02:01:41,240
Speaker 1: But they still managed to win those games because they're

2147
02:01:41,280 --> 02:01:45,520
Speaker 1: so talented, even games that they were not fully fully sharp.

2148
02:01:46,360 --> 02:01:48,320
Speaker 1: But when he played good teams, you gotta be sharp,

2149
02:01:48,440 --> 02:01:50,560
Speaker 1: and they weren't in a couple of those games last year.

2150
02:01:51,000 --> 02:01:53,240
Speaker 1: Eli says, you need to win the home opener against

2151
02:01:53,280 --> 02:01:55,080
Speaker 1: the Steelers to make a statement that we were not

2152
02:01:55,200 --> 02:01:57,200
Speaker 1: a fluke, and you need to beat the Bucks and

2153
02:01:57,280 --> 02:01:59,920
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. So national media and the NFL takes us

2154
02:02:00,120 --> 02:02:03,280
Speaker 1: for real. If we beat the Bucks and Casey, our

2155
02:02:03,400 --> 02:02:06,560
Speaker 1: chances for Super Bowl are real. Is their game on

2156
02:02:06,640 --> 02:02:10,200
Speaker 1: the schedule where you're thinking, all right, if we win

2157
02:02:10,320 --> 02:02:13,960
Speaker 1: this game, then people are going to take us for real.

2158
02:02:14,320 --> 02:02:16,480
Speaker 1: That's the Chiefs game for Chiefs game. Yeah, And I

2159
02:02:16,560 --> 02:02:20,480
Speaker 1: think and if you if if you beat the Bucks

2160
02:02:20,840 --> 02:02:24,040
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs and the all the Titans and all that,

2161
02:02:26,360 --> 02:02:31,280
Speaker 1: yeah we are. It will absolutely give you're the team.

2162
02:02:31,960 --> 02:02:34,520
Speaker 1: You become the team better be an every single bumper

2163
02:02:34,600 --> 02:02:37,680
Speaker 1: on NFL network. You will be Josh will be splattered

2164
02:02:37,760 --> 02:02:44,240
Speaker 1: all over every place. You know, it's uh yeah there.

2165
02:02:44,640 --> 02:02:46,280
Speaker 1: And of course if you're winning all those you can

2166
02:02:46,360 --> 02:02:47,560
Speaker 1: kind of take it for grant. You're gonna win the

2167
02:02:47,640 --> 02:02:49,120
Speaker 1: others too. You may I don't know who you're gonna

2168
02:02:49,160 --> 02:02:50,760
Speaker 1: drop a game to or who would be you know,

2169
02:02:50,880 --> 02:02:54,160
Speaker 1: okay to drop a game too. But if you beat

2170
02:02:54,200 --> 02:02:59,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Bucks, both Super Bowl teams, You're

2171
02:03:00,840 --> 02:03:06,240
Speaker 1: people be going absolutely crazy, absolutely bonkers, because then you're

2172
02:03:06,560 --> 02:03:10,400
Speaker 1: you're Yeah, you become a thing, not only in the

2174
02:03:14,920 --> 02:03:18,920
Speaker 1: Josh will be absolutely the MVP. They'll be talking about

2175
02:03:19,000 --> 02:03:20,680

2177
02:03:25,000 --> 02:03:27,320

2178
02:03:28,120 --> 02:03:30,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, as much as as hard

2179
02:03:30,600 --> 02:03:33,000

2180
02:03:33,040 --> 02:03:34,760
Speaker 1: fought as that was to get, it'll be over the

2181
02:03:34,840 --> 02:03:38,400
Speaker 1: top too much. You think it would or do you

2182
02:03:38,440 --> 02:03:40,680
Speaker 1: think it wouldn't Because the market that we're in, they'll

2183
02:03:40,720 --> 02:03:43,640
Speaker 1: go crazy. What was it like for the Super Bowl

2191
02:04:04,360 --> 02:04:07,560
Speaker 1: guy carrying the drums for the Beatles. You traveled with

2192
02:04:07,760 --> 02:04:11,680
Speaker 1: It was Bruce, Jim Thurman, Andre and Cornelius and we

2193
02:04:11,760 --> 02:04:14,120
Speaker 1: went at Biscuit. We had a group of guys who

2194
02:04:14,200 --> 02:04:17,600
Speaker 1: was like a rock band and people knew them by

2195
02:04:17,680 --> 02:04:19,560

2198
02:04:28,080 --> 02:04:32,920
Speaker 1: And wherever we went it was you could it was

2199
02:04:33,000 --> 02:04:36,520
Speaker 1: one of those rare times when you'd be sitting in

2200
02:04:36,600 --> 02:04:41,400
Speaker 1: a restaurant or whatever, then you could feel the murmur

2201
02:04:41,480 --> 02:04:44,440
Speaker 1: go around like like I don't like you'd have to

2202
02:04:44,520 --> 02:04:46,120
Speaker 1: raise your head like what's going on? You look at me?

2203
02:04:46,240 --> 02:04:49,400
Speaker 1: Jim walked in or oh god, Bruce and Bruce walking,

2204
02:04:49,560 --> 02:04:52,360
Speaker 1: people would like, oh my god. You know because when

2205
02:04:52,400 --> 02:04:55,000
Speaker 1: I walked in, nobody even turn right because I you know,

2206
02:04:55,760 --> 02:04:58,680
Speaker 1: but when those guys walk into a joint and I

2207
02:04:58,760 --> 02:05:00,440
Speaker 1: told I mean, I tell the story all the time,

2208
02:05:00,440 --> 02:05:04,080
Speaker 1: and Jim was superstitious and I had that. You know,

2209
02:05:04,280 --> 02:05:06,040
Speaker 1: I was the guy who walked with him. He didn't

2210
02:05:06,080 --> 02:05:07,840
Speaker 1: want to walk on the field by himself, so somebody else.

2211
02:05:08,040 --> 02:05:10,320
Speaker 1: So I walked with Jim and we walk out the

2212
02:05:10,360 --> 02:05:13,120
Speaker 1: tunnel at super Bowl twenty five and just you know,

2213
02:05:13,280 --> 02:05:15,640
Speaker 1: it would be like Tom Brady now where Pat mahomes Now,

2214
02:05:15,960 --> 02:05:18,680
Speaker 1: That's who Jim was back then. So we're walking out

2215
02:05:18,720 --> 02:05:21,920
Speaker 1: the tunnel a super Bowl twenty five and it was

2216
02:05:22,040 --> 02:05:25,360
Speaker 1: full of kids in costume like rainbow and butterfly costumes

2217
02:05:25,400 --> 02:05:27,720
Speaker 1: for the halftime show. They were it was full and

2218
02:05:27,840 --> 02:05:31,280
Speaker 1: they had this felt rope aisle. You know, like you have,

2219
02:05:31,320 --> 02:05:34,520
Speaker 1: we all seen it felt ropes right, that we could

2220
02:05:34,560 --> 02:05:38,600
Speaker 1: get to the field. We're walking and so I'm with

2221
02:05:38,800 --> 02:05:44,400
Speaker 1: twelve and the kids they all know who he is, right,

2222
02:05:46,640 --> 02:05:52,960
Speaker 1: it was unbelievable. His presence alone flew ahead of us.

2223
02:05:54,560 --> 02:05:56,840
Speaker 1: It was a It was the most unbelievable thing you'll

2224
02:05:56,880 --> 02:06:02,840
Speaker 1: ever experience. It was like walking with a deity. It

2225
02:06:03,040 --> 02:06:07,520
Speaker 1: you could feel. It was like a twenty five yard

2226
02:06:07,800 --> 02:06:10,680
Speaker 1: bubble that as soon as you became in the edge

2227
02:06:10,680 --> 02:06:13,120
Speaker 1: of the bubble, it was like, you know, the air changed.

2228
02:06:14,240 --> 02:06:18,839
Speaker 1: These kids were mesmerized. It was like a magic spell

2229
02:06:19,040 --> 02:06:23,920
Speaker 1: followed Jim around. It was unbelievable. So we're walking out

2230
02:06:23,960 --> 02:06:28,360
Speaker 1: the tunnel and his his you know, his presence flew

2231
02:06:28,520 --> 02:06:30,800
Speaker 1: out ahead of us because people got the sense that

2232
02:06:30,880 --> 02:06:33,320
Speaker 1: somebody who was and it was they turned oh you know,

2233
02:06:34,200 --> 02:06:36,920
Speaker 1: kids are squealing and you know, and it's like, you know,

2234
02:06:37,040 --> 02:06:38,840
Speaker 1: and it was just unbelievable. So we walk out and

2235
02:06:38,920 --> 02:06:41,000
Speaker 1: you kind of go out with it was unbelievable. And

2236
02:06:41,080 --> 02:06:42,800
Speaker 1: that's the way it was for those guys back then.

2237
02:06:42,880 --> 02:06:44,800
Speaker 1: That's the way it is for these guys. And that

2238
02:06:45,040 --> 02:06:50,000
Speaker 1: if if the Bills beat them, beat the Chiefs beat

2239
02:06:50,080 --> 02:06:53,320
Speaker 1: the Bucks. And for instance, they start their season. Let's

2240
02:06:53,360 --> 02:06:55,640
Speaker 1: see here we are, all right, we're twenty twenty one,

2241
02:06:55,720 --> 02:06:58,360
Speaker 1: and they start this season. They go all the way

2242
02:06:58,400 --> 02:07:01,480
Speaker 1: down to the Bucks game Week fourteen, and they're thirteen

2243
02:07:01,560 --> 02:07:04,560
Speaker 1: and ozer or what even if they drop the Pittsburgh game,

2244
02:07:04,720 --> 02:07:06,400
Speaker 1: So they're not going to go undefeated, so we don't

2245
02:07:06,440 --> 02:07:10,240
Speaker 1: have that hanging over. OK. So they're they're thirteen and one.

2246
02:07:14,080 --> 02:07:20,480
Speaker 1: It will be impossible, impossible for any any of those

2247
02:07:20,560 --> 02:07:26,160
Speaker 1: guys to get gas, let alone like go out and

2248
02:07:26,280 --> 02:07:30,800
Speaker 1: they'll be able to, hopefully by that time, they won't

2249
02:07:30,840 --> 02:07:33,560
Speaker 1: even they won't even they won't even they can't. They

2250
02:07:33,600 --> 02:07:35,000
Speaker 1: won't be able to stick their head out to go

2251
02:07:35,080 --> 02:07:39,720
Speaker 1: get their mail without getting having somebody. That's how bad

2252
02:07:39,760 --> 02:07:42,360
Speaker 1: it'll be. That because in this day and age when

2253
02:07:42,680 --> 02:07:46,920
Speaker 1: social media twitter that, I mean, it's it's off the

2254
02:07:46,960 --> 02:07:49,920
Speaker 1: hook for those guys. And and those two games will

2255
02:07:50,000 --> 02:07:52,720
Speaker 1: be the benchmarks, the Kansas City game and then of

2256
02:07:52,800 --> 02:07:55,160
Speaker 1: course the Tampa Bay game, and then and then the

2257
02:07:55,280 --> 02:07:57,720
Speaker 1: high points of where the Saints game then Thanksgiving game

2258
02:07:57,720 --> 02:08:00,240
Speaker 1: win by if they reach the Saints game and they're

2259
02:08:00,320 --> 02:08:04,040
Speaker 1: eleft ten and one going into the Saints game. We

2260
02:08:04,040 --> 02:08:06,200
Speaker 1: could well be nine and one going into Week eleven

2261
02:08:06,240 --> 02:08:08,440
Speaker 1: after the bye week. If they're nine and one going

2262
02:08:08,480 --> 02:08:11,360
Speaker 1: into the Saints game on Thanksgiving and that game will

2263
02:08:12,080 --> 02:08:17,800
Speaker 1: we'll get an unbelievable rating. Everybody will watch that game,

2264
02:08:19,280 --> 02:08:23,000
Speaker 1: all right. JT. Bills Mafia says, win every game including

2265
02:08:23,040 --> 02:08:25,560
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl would be great. But I think beating

2266
02:08:25,680 --> 02:08:28,960
Speaker 1: Billy and the Pats and seeing him throw another tantrum

2267
02:08:29,080 --> 02:08:33,480
Speaker 1: would be hilarious. Just don't break out phones, Bill, and

2268
02:08:34,080 --> 02:08:37,240
Speaker 1: the week after that, beat Brady. That would be tasty.

2269
02:08:37,360 --> 02:08:41,360
Speaker 1: Also love to squish the fish, slap the salmon arms

2270
02:08:41,400 --> 02:08:44,040
Speaker 1: off salmon arms. Do you know the salmon arms story?

2271
02:08:45,120 --> 02:08:49,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I want I watched that a bunch. Yeah,

2272
02:08:49,440 --> 02:08:51,960
Speaker 1: and show all right, Tom, if you're in there, roll

2273
02:08:52,040 --> 02:08:55,040
Speaker 1: the highlight of Bill Belichick again throwing the phone. Maybe

2274
02:08:55,080 --> 02:08:57,600
Speaker 1: this would be that we'll do that once or twice

2275
02:08:57,680 --> 02:09:00,360
Speaker 1: during the offseason of the New England. They'll have it

2276
02:09:00,400 --> 02:09:03,360
Speaker 1: up in a minute. But yeah, I love how you

2277
02:09:03,440 --> 02:09:05,880
Speaker 1: guys have played that so much that you could say,

2278
02:09:06,280 --> 02:09:08,840
Speaker 1: roll the Bill Belichick tape of him throwing I want

2279
02:09:08,840 --> 02:09:10,680
Speaker 1: to get that on my phone and take a screenshot

2280
02:09:10,760 --> 02:09:13,160
Speaker 1: of him, just like just as the phone leaves his hand,

2281
02:09:13,200 --> 02:09:15,880
Speaker 1: take a screenshot and have that on my phone. And

2282
02:09:16,480 --> 02:09:20,520
Speaker 1: you know Cam Newton heard that, and they're just sitting

2283
02:09:20,560 --> 02:09:22,960
Speaker 1: on the bench. No, they don't even fool They don't

2284
02:09:22,960 --> 02:09:26,120
Speaker 1: even because they knew it was bad at that point.

2285
02:09:26,680 --> 02:09:28,560
Speaker 1: They were like, oh, we better not turn around and

2286
02:09:28,640 --> 02:09:30,760
Speaker 1: look at coach. That was the That was the Dawson

2287
02:09:30,840 --> 02:09:32,800
Speaker 1: Knox play on the sidelines after he came out a

2288
02:09:32,840 --> 02:09:35,360
Speaker 1: halftime and Knox caught that and they told him to

2289
02:09:35,440 --> 02:09:37,200
Speaker 1: and it happened right in front of him too. But

2290
02:09:37,320 --> 02:09:39,040
Speaker 1: he when it happened, it was in front of meeting

2291
02:09:39,040 --> 02:09:40,880
Speaker 1: get a chance to look at the feet. They yelled

2292
02:09:40,920 --> 02:09:42,560
Speaker 1: down from the sidelines, Hey, that was no way you

2293
02:09:42,600 --> 02:09:44,640
Speaker 1: got to challenge that. And of course it was upheld.

2294
02:09:44,720 --> 02:09:47,440
Speaker 1: It was a good catch and he was not happy.

2295
02:09:49,120 --> 02:09:51,600
Speaker 1: That was That was one of the more delicious moments

2296
02:09:51,640 --> 02:09:53,800
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenties, of which it was a feast.

2297
02:09:54,920 --> 02:09:57,920
Speaker 1: It was a feast. That was so funny that moment

2298
02:09:58,120 --> 02:10:01,960
Speaker 1: there was watching it. I'm thinking, wait, did that really

2299
02:10:02,000 --> 02:10:05,200
Speaker 1: just that was the first play of the third quarter. Yeah,

2300
02:10:05,240 --> 02:10:06,920
Speaker 1: it was the first play of the third quarter. Dawson

2301
02:10:07,000 --> 02:10:11,000
Speaker 1: knocks fifteen yards down the right sideline, they challenge it. No, no,

2302
02:10:12,040 --> 02:10:15,680
Speaker 1: and of course Dawson catch sticks it drags the feet, absolutely,

2303
02:10:15,800 --> 02:10:18,560
Speaker 1: no question about it. Beautiful and it happened, and Belichick

2304
02:10:18,600 --> 02:10:19,800
Speaker 1: didn't see it because he had to get out of

2305
02:10:19,840 --> 02:10:23,800
Speaker 1: the way. It was coming right at it, and they

2306
02:10:23,920 --> 02:10:26,440
Speaker 1: upheld it. And yeah, if you didn't think the Bills

2307
02:10:26,520 --> 02:10:29,000
Speaker 1: arrived before that, they were eleven and three at that point.

2308
02:10:29,840 --> 02:10:33,840
Speaker 1: Then you see Bill Belichick chucking a phone, you knew

2309
02:10:33,880 --> 02:10:36,160
Speaker 1: the Bills arrived about it. That is so that was

2310
02:10:36,240 --> 02:10:38,920
Speaker 1: so out of character for him, Yes, because he is

2311
02:10:39,320 --> 02:10:44,520
Speaker 1: mister flatline. Mister flatline. You never see him get upset

2312
02:10:44,640 --> 02:10:49,280
Speaker 1: like that. And sure enough, yeah, that was that was

2313
02:10:51,000 --> 02:10:55,400
Speaker 1: for Bills fans. That really really struck a chord, I

2314
02:10:55,520 --> 02:10:59,920
Speaker 1: mean a big one. That was perfectly harmonious. Right, Oh yeah,

2315
02:11:00,160 --> 02:11:02,600
Speaker 1: that moment is never gonna get old. I can watch

2316
02:11:02,720 --> 02:11:07,200
Speaker 1: that on replay and just laugh. That's when we knew, Patriots,

2317
02:11:07,760 --> 02:11:10,880
Speaker 1: we got you. Okay, all right, we're gonna take a break,

2318
02:11:10,920 --> 02:11:13,480
Speaker 1: but when we come back, we will close out the show.

2319
02:11:13,600 --> 02:11:16,440
Speaker 1: Here on a Thursday afternoon, one, Bills Live is presented

2320
02:11:16,480 --> 02:11:35,600
Speaker 1: by Clyde of Health on Buffalo Bills Radio. All Right,

2321
02:11:35,640 --> 02:11:38,000
Speaker 1: it's time for what have we learned? Brought to by Skywarks,

2322
02:11:38,040 --> 02:11:42,160
Speaker 1: the official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills,

2323
02:11:42,320 --> 02:11:47,080
Speaker 1: and our Twitter question today was all about which game

2324
02:11:47,400 --> 02:11:49,400
Speaker 1: do the Bills need to win most on this twenty

2325
02:11:49,480 --> 02:11:51,080
Speaker 1: twenty one schedule? And I think from all of our

2326
02:11:51,160 --> 02:11:54,160
Speaker 1: responses how we've talked about it, it seems like a

2327
02:11:54,240 --> 02:12:00,760
Speaker 1: favorite three that are must wins Steelers, Titans, Chiefs. Yeah,

2328
02:12:00,840 --> 02:12:02,840
Speaker 1: a couple of Bucks and a couple of others around,

2329
02:12:02,880 --> 02:12:07,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, the Chiefs are are on everybody's mind. But

2330
02:12:07,200 --> 02:12:08,720
Speaker 1: you don't want to go into this. You don't want

2331
02:12:08,720 --> 02:12:10,840
Speaker 1: to go into the season with a loss either, you know,

2332
02:12:10,920 --> 02:12:13,480
Speaker 1: after putting together such a great season last year, plus

2333
02:12:13,600 --> 02:12:15,240
Speaker 1: with what the atmosphere it's going to be on an

2334
02:12:15,280 --> 02:12:19,000
Speaker 1: opening day. But no question, there's a lot to choose from,

2335
02:12:19,200 --> 02:12:22,160
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be one of those years too where

2336
02:12:22,320 --> 02:12:26,040
Speaker 1: the expectations, Maddie are through the roof. I mean there

2337
02:12:26,080 --> 02:12:28,040
Speaker 1: are people you know, and you get them on on

2338
02:12:28,160 --> 02:12:30,080
Speaker 1: Twitter all the times like we're gonna go, we're gonna win.

2339
02:12:30,120 --> 02:12:32,680
Speaker 1: All of them were all defeated to the Super Bowl,

2340
02:12:32,760 --> 02:12:36,920
Speaker 1: baby exactly. So we'll see, we'll see. But nevertheless, this

2341
02:12:37,080 --> 02:12:41,160
Speaker 1: is a it's gonna be a fun year, and it's nothing.

2342
02:12:41,240 --> 02:12:45,920
Speaker 1: And I'll just remind everybody in the strictly objective terms,

2343
02:12:46,920 --> 02:12:48,640
Speaker 1: none of the game, not a single one of those

2344
02:12:48,680 --> 02:12:50,680
Speaker 1: games on the regular season is a must win. But

2345
02:12:50,760 --> 02:12:53,920
Speaker 1: you gotta win a bunch. You can lose any game

2346
02:12:53,960 --> 02:12:56,280
Speaker 1: on there you want if you win the other sixteen

2347
02:12:56,360 --> 02:13:00,800
Speaker 1: of them. Um so, yeah, none of them are must have.

2348
02:13:00,880 --> 02:13:05,080
Speaker 1: But for all of us, there's one that's like you think, wow,

2349
02:13:05,120 --> 02:13:07,000
Speaker 1: that's an important one, that would be a really big statement,

2350
02:13:07,200 --> 02:13:08,760
Speaker 1: or this one like I'm gonna be there, so I

2351
02:13:08,840 --> 02:13:11,960
Speaker 1: want him to win. That's a road game or national

2352
02:13:12,040 --> 02:13:13,920
Speaker 1: game or a night game that's gonna want them to win.

2353
02:13:14,640 --> 02:13:17,440
Speaker 1: So they all carry a different amount of weight for everybody. Yeah,

2354
02:13:17,440 --> 02:13:19,760
Speaker 1: you go one game of time, that one game at

2355
02:13:19,760 --> 02:13:21,680
Speaker 1: a time. If you're gonna do that, that one the

2356
02:13:21,800 --> 02:13:24,879
Speaker 1: one game that matters. If you're gonna play by that Steelers,

2357
02:13:25,120 --> 02:13:27,120
Speaker 1: that's right. If it's a one game at a time game,

2358
02:13:28,360 --> 02:13:30,640
Speaker 1: it's the Steelers, because that's the next one. And we

2359
02:13:30,680 --> 02:13:34,240
Speaker 1: had one of our Twitter responses said that too. We'll see.

2360
02:13:34,400 --> 02:13:36,800
Speaker 1: I got to start the season the right way, all right.

2361
02:13:36,840 --> 02:13:40,000
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us here on one Bills Live. We'll

2362
02:13:40,040 --> 02:13:43,680
