1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: Well, a great time. I'll watch Deep Taspers. Welcome to

2
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 1: another week of one Bill's Live Steve Task along with

3
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: Maddie Glab this week, Maddie, how was your weekend? Was

4
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: it good? Back back in the saddle here with us? Uh?

5
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: He said, you played some golf a little bit, it was.

6
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: It was a good weekend. It was a busy weekend.

7
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: I feel like, and you may feel the same way.

8
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: I feel like I need like a day to recoup

9
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: from the weekend because it was so busy, which is

10
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: good because that means the weather's nice and covid as

11
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: rules are starting to be relaxed in Buffalo. And so

12
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: I went out and played nine holes yesterday at Auto Bonn,

13
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: and it was probably the first time I've actually played

14
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: in honestly, like two years. And I didn't lose a

15
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 1: golf ball, which the last time I golfed nine holes,

16
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: I lost nine golf balls, So that's it's a big improvement.

17
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: Okayas nine But I will say I was golfing. I

18
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: was golfing and it was super super foggy. When I

19
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: lost nine golf balls, you could see only like fifty

20
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: feet in front of you. So I blame the weather,

21
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: not my bad golf game. Oh that's common. That's a

22
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: common occurrence blaming something, think your golf game for losing

23
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: golf balls. I was at I was in Louisville, Kentucky,

24
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: the whole weekend. We drove down Friday, drove back the

25
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: last night, and wow, what a long trip. Stopped at

26
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: Ikea on the way. On the way down there, which

27
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 1: is the place. It's a total just you know, it's

28
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: like going into a casino. Really, it's like, you know

29
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: what that Yeah, that's you know, just throw money down

30
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: just that looks cool. It's like that, Yeah, we need too.

31
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: The thing about it is, here's the thing, and I

32
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: get I didn't get this from other stores. You gotta

33
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: put everything together right if you buy it there. Oh yeah,

34
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: that's why it's so cheap, because I gotta. I got

35
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: a new desk chair because I've been using like this

36
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: dining room chair at my desk for like a month

37
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: and a half. And I was so I go in there.

38
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: I wasn't even thinking about I see that thing. I

39
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: see these chairs there, these desk chairs there, Like, man,

Speaker 1: that's a really nice high you know, high back leather.

41
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, man, that's aye it's a two hundred and

00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: It's like wow. But then you get it and it's

Speaker 1: to E, to F to be. Don't you're paying for

49
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: it all these other store stores, right, is somebody putting

50
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: it together. So I'm gonna do so this entire week.

51
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm gonna start tonight. There's no way I'm gonna

52
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: be able to find Okay, I can just tell. So

53
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna If I'm sitting in that chair tomorrow, you'll

54
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: know that I got no sleep tonight, that I stayed

55
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: up all night putting this desk chair together. But it

56
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: was you do it? Did you? So I'm into Kentucky

57
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: for the weekend when you're out and about, like going

58
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: to the golf course. And I mean, I've been socially

59
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: distancing on the golf course too and all that. But

60
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: are people you know, wearing masks everywhere? Not too much,

61
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: i'd say, And so My family's in Chicago and its

62
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: stuff is still pretty strict there. But I have a

63
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: lot of friends in the South because I've worked at Tennessee,

64
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: my last place. They seem like they've been back to

65
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: normal life for the last three weeks, and nobody's wearing

66
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: masks down there. Um, so i'd say doors open, restaurants open,

67
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they've they've been open for like three weeks.

68
00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: Tennessee has, But I mean Buffalo, I would say, out

69
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: and about. You still see a lot of people in masks.

70
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: Every time you go into the grocery store, everybody's wearing

71
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: a mask. Now on the golf course, i'd say it's

72
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: a little bit of a different story. I'd say less

73
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: less people are wearing masks. There was a few people

74
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: that we passed that had masks on. But you know,

75
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: you're so far apart depending on you know, if you're

76
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: waiting for people to pass, or if you're in a

77
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: group of three. There's there's a lot of distance on

78
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: a golf court to socially distance. Oh yeah, eat Golfing

79
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,239
Speaker 1: is easy to play stay socially distant, you know, because

80
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: you're never hitting it in the same spot anyway. So yeah,

81
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: I get that, but I was. I was. We were

82
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: in like I said, Kentucky, and it was hit or

83
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: miss whether people were wearing masks or not. I'd say

84
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: at least half the people we saw were certainly most

85
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: people were wearing them indoors when they go into a

86
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: store or something. They were just wearing them out. You know,

87
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: they get out of the car, walking the store and

88
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: put it on before they went in, that kind of thing.

89
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: All the all the loyees wearing masks, some of them

90
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: just wearing it as happens, you know, just because they

91
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: had to wear it. They put it was like a

92
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: chin strap, you know, they didn't, you know, because they could.

93
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: You know, you're hot, you can't breathing. It fogs up

94
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: glasses and stuff. There's that issue going around. So people

95
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: are kind of fed up with it. But a lot

96
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: of you know, just about all the stores were open

97
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: nine that's not true. That's not true. All restaurants were

98
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: open for curbside or whatever socially distanced lineups and stuff.

99
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: Nobody was eating in anywhere. They were all carrying it out.

100
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,119
Speaker 1: But there were certainly ways to get in whatever food

101
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: from whatever restaurant you wanted down there, and it was,

102
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: like I said, about half the people that you could

103
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: tell it was very obvious that something was going on,

104
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: Like you know, it was not like normal business normal,

105
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: so there was obviously something going on. People were lined up,

106
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: spread apart, there were masks about every half half of

107
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: everybody had masks on, and there was no sit down,

108
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: eat anywhere. So there's that going on in it. And

109
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 1: it's weird too. And we experience in here now that

110
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: the weather is nice, and when the weather is nice,

111
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: you feel like, Okay, I'm out and about, I'm doing stuff,

112
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: and then it's like and you know, it's not quite

113
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: right yet, it's not quite right. Quite right yet it

114
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: hasn't We're gonna go to Phase three maybe tomorrow in

115
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: New York State, maybe tomorrow. And you can get on

116
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: patios right now in Buffalo. So that's that's been something

117
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: that's nice. I've I've went out to eat on a

118
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: couple of patios, which is just felt super weird at

119
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: the same time because we haven't been able to eat

120
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: in public since what March and now it's nice to

121
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: see patios that are open. But yeah, we could be

122
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: going to Phase three tomorrow, which would mean that restaurants

123
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: can open up at a certain capacity. Right. I believe

124
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: it's fifty percent, so that would be really cool. But

125
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: also we're seeing like states like Arizona and Texas and

126
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: Florida are all spiking again, right, which is gosh, the

127
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: last thing you want to do is go backwards, right.

153
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: the office at anytime? Jay Bird? Are we gonna win?

154
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: Does Phase four put us back in the office? He

155
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: doesn't know that either. I don't either. Phase four got

156
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: to write phase fours? Is Phase four completely open? Phase

157
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: four is more open? But I would say it's not

158
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 1: completely open because it would be a pa I said, restaurants. Yeah,

159
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: restaurants are going to be opening out like fifty percent

160
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: to path or Phase three, sorry is when restaurants would

161
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: open at fifty percent fifty percent capacity. But Phase four,

162
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: I think that's one place is like gems open, I believe.

163
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: And does that mean, um, does that mean like restaurants

164
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: are gonna be full capacity? Does that mean? Um? You

165
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: know what's I mean? What's a Phase three is just

166
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: going to be like more people coming in the office, right,

167
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: and restaurants are a little bit more loose. You can

168
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: sit inside of restaurants if it's half capacity, what are

169
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: they gonna take tables out or they're just gonna leave

170
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: tables empty. I would probably take tables out to make

171
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: place look fuller. But then again, if you're if you're

172
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: taking tables out and you put fill all those tables,

173
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: doesn't look like you're not capacity, then you got problems. Right. Yeah,

174
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see what happens and how it

175
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: all opens, and if we actually go to phase four

176
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: on time, right, because we're technically going to move to

177
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: phase three tomorrow, right, So yeah, if everything goes well,

178
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: then we'll move into phase four. But I'm a little

179
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: weary just knowing that other states are spiking right now.

180
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh no, it's terrible because several Cowboys Today

181
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: we found out several Cowboys players, several Texan players have

182
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: tested positive for COVID nineteen. Uh, none of the players

183
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: that are believed to have been in their team facilities,

184
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,239
Speaker 1: and the team is the teams followed proper healthcare protocols.

185
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 1: But you got a bunch of cowboys and a bunch

186
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: of Texans, uh that have tested positive for COVID and

187
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 1: now you know that's the state where fifty capacity in

188
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: the fall is going to be fine with them. Does

189
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: that mean they go backwards just because two handfuls of

190
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: players happen to be the guys that contracted it? Certainly

191
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 1: you kind of that that information is less than complete.

192
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: Do you know were they all together when they contracted it?

193
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: Do they can they trace those guys? Were they all

194
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: spread out where they at three different places? Or they

195
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 1: just Is it just coincidence that those guys all got

196
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: it at the same time or is it because they

197
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: were together that they got it. That's what I want

198
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: to know, And I imagine it makes it sound like

199
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: they were working out together. Yeah. I think in the

200
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: report that Ian Rapport put out in Temple of Sarah

201
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: are the two who broke it. I think it says

202
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: that they were not at the training facilities, which is

203
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: good news that they must have been elsewhere possibly training together.

204
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: But I think we all knew this was going to

205
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: happen if people have been following college football the last

206
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 1: couple weeks. College football, they're now opening their facilities to

207
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: players to come back and work out, and there have

208
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: been several big schools that have announced we had three

209
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: players test positive, Alabama being one of those schools, had

210
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: I think three to five guys who tested positive, and

211
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 1: they're just making them quarantine for fourteen days and then

212
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: they can come back to the complex and start working

213
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: out once they are over coronavirus. But I think this

214
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: is going to happen to not every single team, but

215
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: it's going to be pretty likely. I think that teams

216
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: have players with COVID and you're just gonna have to

217
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: quarantine and move on. Right, There's a ton of stuff

218
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: to talk about with this, because it's getting more complicated

219
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: as it starts to ease up and the protocols start

220
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: to be lifted or changed. Um John Harbaugh, head coach

221
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: of the Ravens, has said, listen, it's not even humanly

222
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,719
Speaker 1: possible to do all the protocols that they put out.

223
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: He says, we're doing the best we can, but then

224
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: he brings up the good point, and let's to the

225
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: football point. We don't want to be following all these

226
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: protocols and then find out ten teams were not and

227
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: making it easier on themselves for not doing it. You've

228
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: got the Cowboys and the Texans players that have been

229
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: tested positive. Uh. Bill's third round pick, Zach Moster. For

230
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: those of you who are sweating Zach Moss signing his contract,

231
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: he might do that today. He assigned it right, Mattie,

232
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: he's uh, he's now. It's not yet, not yet. Think

233
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 1: they probably agreed to terms. They probably agreed to terms

234
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: and haven't signed the contract yet. We'll see, we'll get

235
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 1: that official announcement. They're close anyway. Um, the Bills are

236
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: gonna wrap their virtual mini camp this Thursday. That's going

237
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: to come to a close. Um. The Roger Gotell told

238
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: the league this morning that the league is going to

239
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: recognize Juneteenth holiday. We've got some of your stuff from

240
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: recap with your sit down with Josh Norman that we're

241
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 1: gonna go over. That was that interview. Just give me

242
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: your impressions of how it went with Josh Norman. Some

243
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: great sound bites we used last week came out of

244
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: that He's what an impression he made in his day

245
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Yeah, he was so great and it was

246
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: awesome to a quickly meet him and Demario Davis. I mean,

247
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: two top notch NFL players who are doing great things

248
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: in their community. And I thought the idea that there

249
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: that they had right now to do a five city,

250
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: six day tour, and their whole basis of traveling around

251
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: the country two different cities was to help bridge the

252
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: gap between the police force, the governing systems in that

253
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: city and the community to help fight and police brutality

254
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: and racial injustice. And when they came to Buffalo and

255
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: they came to Mayor Byron Byron Brown's press conference where

256
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: he was announcing a series of police reforms that day.

257
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: After the press conference, which Josh Norman and Amaro Davis

258
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: both spoke at, Josh said, we haven't been to a

259
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: city yet that has been this active in listening to

260
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: the community and trying to get better, trying to solve

261
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: these problems, trying to make sure police brutality is not

262
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: a thing in this city. Mayor Byron Brown said, we

263
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: want to move to a place where it's less of

264
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: police enforcing things and more of police helping and interacting

265
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: with the community. So that was really cool to hear.

266
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: And Josh Norman was just that interview that he did

267
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: was so amazing. I mean, he's so passionate about the subject.

268
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: He had so many great things to say. And also

269
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: I think has a lot of hope right now. While

270
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: this is a time that is really hard for everybody,

271
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: I think he has been able to find some hope

272
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: and thinks that this time is going to be different

273
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: for our country. And where can we listen if they

274
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,080

Speaker 1: there's a ton of other stuff going on today as well.

287
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: We've been talking about, you know, the coronavirus and the

288
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: protocols and what people are doing, some of the people

289
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: who have contracted the virus. And there's a big question

290
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: out there now, Maddie that Bruce arians at head coach

291
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: at the Tampa Buccaneers, brought up is maybe they and

292
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: I think they should. I think the NFL that he's

293
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: asking you say, listen, we should have a quarantine quarterback

294
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: just on the black burner, not on the roster, but

295
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: have a guy in camp that you can plug in

296
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: if all your if your quarterback room all gets coronavirus,

297
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? The whole team is sabotage.

298
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: So we need to have a guy that, you know,

299
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: we can plug in. I agree the league should make

300
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: all kinds of concessions to make sure these teams don't

301
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: get sidelined for two weeks the entire roster. So just

302
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: do everything they can to make it easy on the

303
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: clubs to have a contingency plan ready if the wrong

304
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: guys get sick, right, I mean, it makes a lot

305
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: of sense, and I would say that's that would be

306
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: only the beginning of the exceptions. I would make, just

307
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: in this particular NFL year, just have an extra roster

308
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: spot for a quarterback so that if they do go down,

309
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: you've got a guy that doesn't have to go in quarantine. Also,

310
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: there's some stuff going around in the league. And did

311
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: you read this, Maddie about Roger Goodell's successor being speculate

312
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: around inside the NFL offices, And I you know, he's

313
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: been he's been there for a while, since two thousand

314
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: and six, he's been. Right, that's a nice fourteen year run,

315
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: fifteen year run, and contract is up in twenty twenty three, right,

316
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 1: so he's gonna be there for a while longer. But

317
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: that would be you know, a nice sold seventeen eighteen

318
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: year run to be the commissioner. And who knows if

319
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: he wants to still do it. He may be ready,

320
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: you know, he'll be young enough to like, man, I'm

321
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: gonna play golf and take it easy. Or he may

322
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: be one of those guys that can't get enough of it.

323
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: You know, he may thrive on the job. Certainly it's

324
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: a headache, and certainly there's a lot of that goes

325
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: into a job that handling thirty two owners in the

326
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: National Football League and all the players, the Players Association,

327
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: and all the business side of it, the rules committee

328
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: and the competition committee. Uh yeah, So they're starting to

329
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: think about in twenty twenty three, maybe Roger's gonna move on.

330
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: Maybe they'll ask him to move on, they'll bring back

331
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: for an extension. Who knows, but that's being speculated around

332
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: the National Football League about who might take his place.

333
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown raised his head, treeted him a picture of

334
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: himself in a Raven's uniform as starting to gain some traction.

335
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: His situation, of course, is all tied up unfortunately in

336
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 1: the legal system. He's he received two years probation. This

337
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 1: is after the charge that had to do with the

338
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: moving company that where he had an incident with a

339
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: moving truck driver outside his home in Florida. It's got

340
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: to go through a psychological evaluation, follow up treatment extended.

341
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 1: He's got to attend anger management course. He's got to

342
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 1: perform one hundred hours of community service. He's also has

343
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: to stay away from the truck driver and the company

344
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: moved the company owner of that moving company. That starts

345
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: to lay the groundwork for him being back in the NFL.

346
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: After all that's been done two years probation and the

347
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 1: community service and the stay away order. So maybe that

348
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 1: will start to clear the air for him to land

349
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: on an NFL roster of this fall. Maybe, And he

350
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: thinks obviously has maybe been talking to the Ravens about

351
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: being on their squad. Yeah, and there's been videos of

352
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: him working out with Lamar. I mean, he's been down

353
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: in Florida, so you see him pop up on a

354
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: lot of these social media videos that have gone viral

355
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: during the off season of guys just training together. And

356
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 1: it looks like Antonio Brown has been hanging out with

357
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: a lot of players who are in Florida and who

358
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: have been kind of working out together. Yeah, all that going.

359
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: We've got you brought up this thing. Would you rather

360
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: got a couple of choices there? We've got what's for

361
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: lunch as well. We've got Arthur Moats coming up at

362
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 1: two o'clock. We also have the Twitter poll, which is

363
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: a pretty good one. It has to do with who's

364
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: going to be the X factor for the Bills in

365
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Dawson Knox, Zach Zack Moss or Josh Norman.

366
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: You can give us a call at eight oh three

367
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: five fifty or one eight eight five fifty two five

368
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: fifty cheap tasker. And Maddie glab here, we've got a

369
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: tweet sheet as well, which go we're starting to get

370
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: feedback on this Twitter poll. And Maddie, do you have

371
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet in front of you? Why don't you

372
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 1: read the first one? Yeah, let me pull it up here.

373
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: Sorry about kind of caught you off guard. Oh no,

374
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: you're good. Okay. So our Twitter poles who will be

375
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: the Bill's X Factor in twenty twenty Dawson X, Zach Moss,

376
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,719
Speaker 1: Josh Norman or other? So I'm gonna read off some

377
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: of these that we have. Kyle Treats, says Tremaine Edmunds.

378
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: He develops into a top five mic and then we're

379
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: all set because the skills set and body type. I

380
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: don't know, how do you define X factor? Well? I

381
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: think the X factor is the one guy that maybe

382
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 1: is becomes and maybe I don't know, comes from nowhere,

383
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: or maybe he has a guy who's on the team.

384
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: I guy like Tremaine Edmond's hard to be the X

385
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: factor because you can't expect him to be a are

386
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: right you kind of expect Josh Allen to be a

387
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: guy who's gonna have a hand in every win or

388
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: lost this season. You kind of expect that from guys.

389
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 1: I think an X factor would be somebody like like

390
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: the three weeks old, like Dawson Knox, who had an

391
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 1: ok year last year twenty eight catches for just under

392
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: four hundred yards, but was third in the league in

393
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: yards per reception. If a guy like Dawson Knox comes

394
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: in and cuts down, if he can cut his ten

395
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: drops down to maybe three drops on the year, his

396
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: whole season takes a different turn, and so does the

397
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: team in certain games. Zach Moss, who knows what he's

398
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 1: gonna be if he comes in and all of a sudden,

399
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: by the end of the season is the lead dog

400
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: in the run game. That would be an X factor

401
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: to me. Josh Norman, a guy who comes in and

402
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: plays cornerback in the system that made him famous in

403
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: the NFL with Sean McDermot. All of a sudden, you've

404
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: got two lockdown corners and your defense all of a

405
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: sudden turns into an impossibility to score points on it.

406
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: You know they're giving up, you know, six or seven

407
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: or eight or ten points a game. Something like this,

408
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 1: some unbelievable like a Raven's two thousand number. They go

409
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: through a month like that during the season, let alone

410
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: a whole season to like that all of a sudden,

411
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: a guy like Josh Norman is a small part that

412
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: is the tipping point that makes a defense go from

413
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: a top three defense to a dominant defense. And then

414
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,959
Speaker 1: that takes a lot of pressure off Josh Allen. All

415
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: these new weapons, he's got it, and the team becomes

416
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: even a tougher out than they were last year. So

417
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,239
Speaker 1: I think guys like that to me or what the

418
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: X factor is, is that kind of the way you

419
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: see it, That's the way I see it too. It's

420
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: got to be somebody that has not yet earned the

421
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: notoriety as like a Tremaine Edmonds or a Josh Allen,

422
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: where expectations are already there to begin with. You look

423
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: at players like you said, Dawson Knox, Za, Zack Moss,

424
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 1: Josh Norman. These are guys who I mean, Knox, we've

425
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: gotten a taste of Dawson Knox. What can he do

426
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 1: this season? Can Josh Norman be the other shut down

427
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: corner this year? Zack Moss has I would say not high,

428
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: but some expectations as a rookie running back to make

429
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: a difference on this team. So yeah, I would look

430
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: at more of those players as X factors other than

431
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds. But let's see wandering Jack says Knox has

432
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: the athleticism, speed, chemistry with alan a unique eye for

433
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: a tight end position. Being a former quarterback, I totally

434
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: agree that truly take the next step and become a

435
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 1: top ten tight end in the NFL. With all of

436
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: the attention Diggle get teams having to respect Brown's speed,

437
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: Knox will be open all day underneath. And that's something

438
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: that Knox has talked about a lot himself, is being

439
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: excited for the addition of digs because he hopes that

440
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: opens up the flat a lot more for him during

441
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: the season. Yeah. And on our Twitter respondence on the poll,

442
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox has got half the votes point eight fifty

443
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: percent of the votes. I think it's Dawson Knox. Thirty

444
00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: percent say it's Zach Moss and Josh Norman and other

445
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: have both got about twelve percent of the vote. That's uh,

446
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox is a guy I think people have high

447
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 1: hopes for and I think it's one of those positions, man.

448
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 1: And we're gonna talk about this later in the program

449
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: as well. We're gonna go down There was an article

450
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: out about rating the tight ends across the league teams

451
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: who are and where they're not just having the best

452
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: tight end, but having the best group of tight ends.

453
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: Of course, Buffalo with Dawson Knox, Tyler Croft, U, Sweeney, Lee,

454
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 1: you know all these guys Smith, yeah, Lee Smith. They

455
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: have two guys that are unproven and Sweeney and Knox,

456
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: and then they've got one guy who's been a hit

457
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 1: and miss guy in Tyler Crofts. So you can imagine

458
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: they were way down the line on the best tight

459
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 1: end crew in the National Football League. But when you

460
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: talk about Dawson Knox is being the X factor for

461
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: the Bills, I think it comes from the fact that

462
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 1: people have seen these tight ends be factors for these

463
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: other teams. Kelsey and Kittle are the two most notable guys.

464
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz is another one who's who's been had a

465
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: great run in Philly. There are some great tight ends

466
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: out there, and I think people when you look back

467
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,959
Speaker 1: across the history of the Bills and our own board up.

468
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: Joe de BIASI had a nice article out that said,

469
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: you know, Buffalo has never really had a dominant tight

470
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: end like a Rob Gruntkowski or a Jason Kittle or

471
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey. Uh, it's been a long time since. You know,

472
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: Pete metz Lars and Keith McKellar were on the Buffalo

473
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: Bills and we're a matchup problem for teams. Uh. The

474
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: Buffalo has never had an offense that had a centerpiece

475
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: tight end in it. Say what you want about the

476
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: K gun. Back when I played, it was named after

477
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 1: Keith mckeller, the tight end, and he was really good

478
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 1: and so was Pete, but they weren't those guys that

479
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: were getting thousand yards seasons. Buffalo has never had a

480
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: thousand yard tight end, and it's it's a long time coming.

481
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: So I think an X factor. You talk about a

482
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: guy like Dawson Knox coming in and put have him

483
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: put a thousand yards up, that would be an unbelievable

484
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: event in Buffalo Bill's history, let alone a Bill's season

485
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: just for twenty twenty. Yeah, I think Dawson Knox has

486
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: a lot of promise as well as Tyler Croft. Tyler

487
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: Croft hasn't been helping the last two seasons. His best

488
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: season so far in the NFL was twenty seventeen with

489
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: the Bengals. He had under five hundred receiving yards but

490
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: had seven touchdowns. So if they could be a little

491
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: duo on this team going into twenty twenty, there's a

492
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: lot of excitement with how this could open up the offense. Yeah,

493
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you this too, and from on the

494
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: tweet sheet again, who's going to be the X factor

495
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty? There's another another one as well, and

496
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 1: Tiffany says this, if you go back and watch the

497
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: playoff game, motor Devin Singletary was a beast. He was elusive,

498
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: making defender's miss, breaking tackles at all levels. I see

499
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: him only getting better and more involved in the overall

500
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: offensive scheme. He's a heck of a talent and my

501
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: offensive X factor. There's a chance, and we you know,

502
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: overlook it could Devin Singletary become a star in the

503
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: NFL like a you know, like a Christian McCaffrey, like

504
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: a Levion Bell kind of guy, like a Todd Gurley

505
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 1: kind of guy. Do you see him being a guy

506
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 1: that all of a sudden, he snaps off a thirteen

507
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: hundred yards season even or a fifteen or maybe even

508
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: you know, a fifteen hundred yards season in the NFL?

509
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: Could that possibly happen to a guy like Devin Singletary?

510
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 1: And if it is, I mean I would that would

511
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: put him in the X factor kind of slot. But

512
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: She's right, Devin Singletary is gonna get every opportunity this

513
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: season to be the lead guy in the Bills offense,

514
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 1: in the run game and in the past game as well.

515
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: Could that possibly happen to a guy like Devin Singletary

516
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: and Buffalo? I think you gotta look at what type

517
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: of offense the Bills run. Are they run first or

518
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: pass first? And I think they're they're a pass first

519
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 1: offense as it relates to last year looking back at

520
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: the stats, they were m one of the teams that

521
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: passed the most on first down. So I think he

522
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 1: has some potential. Maybe not they're hundred yards every single season,

523
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: but I would love to see him get to a

524
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 1: thousand this season. Yeah, I think too. And some of

525
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: this here's and I don't want to say the Bills

526
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: are letting the defense dictate, but there are certain things

527
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: that you do in football, particularly I think with a

528
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: Bill's offense like this, you got a young quarter particularly

529
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: guy like Josh. He's sharp, he's been in the in

530
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,239
Speaker 1: the system now for a long time. When they come

531
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: up to the line, I think most teams last year

532
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: we're thinking, you know what, we don't think you're passing

533
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: games as good as we don't want Frank Gore or

534
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary to hurt. As your offensive line is good enough,

535
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: we don't want to get hurt on the run in

536
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: early downs. So we're gonna force you to throw it,

537
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: and we're gonna give you stuff that we'll say, Okay,

538
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's gonna check out of this play and he's

539
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: gonna try and throw it. We're perfectly fine with your young,

540
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: inaccurate quarterback dropping back to throw on first down. So

541
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: I think there was a little bit of that going

542
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: on last year where the Bills said, Okay, if you're

543
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: we have confidence in Josh, we're gonna go ahead and

544
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: throw it on first down if you're gonna give it

545
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: to us. And I think they did a little bit

546
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: of that. So I think this year with Stefan Diggs outside,

547
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: I think we may not throw it as much on

548
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: early downs. We may not be forced to do that.

549
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: And I think what will happen is when they get

550
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: into these early downs and I you know, I'm just

551
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: another I'm just another guy, right, So I'm just saying

552
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: what I think, right, you're gonna get. I saw this

553
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: early in the season, particularly in the Jet game and

554
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: the Giant game. The Bills came out early, and they

555
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: did a lot of shifts and a lot of motions.

556
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: They did a lot of personnel combinations. They were really

557
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: feeling out the Jet defense and all that. So I

558
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: think you're gonna see the Bills come out. Devin Singletary,

559
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: he'll start split out, he'll move back and shift back

560
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: into the backfield, he'll go out in motion. They'll they'll

561
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: have DeMarco on the field or whatever fullback on the field,

562
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: and they'll shift and stuff. I think a lot of

563
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: that's gonna go on, and they'll really experiment with personnel

564
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: shifts and motions to find out as best they can

565
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: early in the season what defense really look at when

566
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: they see our type team, what do they see and

567
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: the way they you know, disperse their defense and the

568
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: calls and the fronts that they give. The Bills will

569
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: tell Brian day Ball and Ken Dorsey and Josh Allen

570
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: and everybody on the Bills coaching staff. They'll say exactly

571
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: what they see, and that's I think crucial to what

572
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: the Bills will do. I think do you think you agree?

573
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: Does that make sense? I agree? I mean, I think

574
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, now entering his third season and entering year

575
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: two with John Brown Cole Beasley, he's getting more comfortable

576
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: with these guys. You're gonna see hopefully day Ball get

577
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: a little more creative. He's already been creative, but as

578
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: those guys build chemistry, you can get more creative. I agree,

579
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: I agree. All Right, we're gonna take a break. Steve Tasker,

00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: Stuff's going on around One of the Cowboys, uh Cowboys,

593
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: Texans players, a handful of them um got COVID nineteen.

594
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: One of them has just reported was Zeke Elliott. It

595
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: was confirmed by his agent that he's one of the

596
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: guys that got the virus. Not that that means anything

597
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: except that you know, they were, Yeah, they were. Yeah,

598
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: he's a star, and you know we've already known that.

599
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: You know, virus doesn't care who you are. I mean,

600
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna get you. I'm sure, I'm sure. I don't know.

601
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: It just seems obvious these guys were all working out together, right,

602
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: That's what you would think. But also, yeah, but none

603
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: of who knows, none of these guys were in the

604
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: facility for the Cowboys or the Texans, so that yeah,

605
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: the facilities technically are open still just two players who

606
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: are going through rehab and things like that. They haven't

607
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: been opened yet to players exactly. So those guys are all, um, yeah,

608
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: that's two weeks off for them, and that's you know,

609
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: you get a lot of you know, chime ins from

610
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: everybody on Twitter about what this means and this, and

611
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: it does really beg The question is that what these

612
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: sports are going to look like. Baseball can't get his

613
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: act together because the cash registers broken, and that's what

614
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: the problem is with baseball. Uh, football has got so

615
00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: many hundreds of people involved just to get one team ready.

616
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: That is a massive undertaking with testing and turnaround and

617
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: separation and all of that stuff. It's huge challenges. NBA's

618
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: trying the bubble thing because they're just the opposite of football, right.

619
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: They got like twelve guys on their roster and three coaches,

620
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: and you would think that they could have an isolation

621
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: pod that would be okay. But now the NBA and

622
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: they're trying to they're trying to encapsulate. They're tuned just

623
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: the opposite. They're trying to encapsulate the entire league, right,

624
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: the NHL same thing. They're they're gonna have hub cities

625
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna have, you know, let's get together. So when

626
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: this all starts to go, what's it gonna take to

627
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: derail it? It doesn't seem like that much. That's the

628
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: big question. I was thinking, like, I mean, if Zeke

629
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: Elliott or if Tom Brady or one of these huge

630
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: names like quarterbacks or players gets COVID in the middle

631
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: of the season, you can't just shut it down because

632
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: one star players out for two weeks weeks. I mean,

633
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: this is probably going to be until they get some

634
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: sort of vaccination. This is gonna become normal. I don't

635
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: know if normal is the right word there, but the

636
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: players are going to get this virus. I mean, we

637
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: saw it in the NBA before the league shut down,

638
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: and they shut it down because players got the virus.

639
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: But I think now there's a better understanding of what

640
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: the virus is, what you need to do if you

641
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: have it. That and the money and the money in

642
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: the NFL, the money in the NBA, the money in

643
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 1: the NHL with TV deals, They're not going to shut

644
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,240
Speaker 1: it down because one person tests positive. I think we

645
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: were now three months removed from it first happening in March,

646
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 1: and people are have a better understanding, and it's it's

647
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 1: different than when it first started to happen. So I

648
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: think people understand this is going to happen. Players are

649
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: going to test positive and you're just gonna have to

650
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: quarantine them and they're not going to be in two games, right,

651
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the whole thing. And then if a

652
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: old team goes down, that's it, man, shut it down,

653
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,760
Speaker 1: you four foot two games. I mean that the season

654
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: can't stop because you got you know, you got thirty

655
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: thirty one of the teams that are gonna keep rolling along.

656
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,760
Speaker 1: That's a bummer. And that's why you know, Bruce Arians

657
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: came out today and said, listen, could we have and

658
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: I get it, could we have an extra roster spot

659
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: for a quarterback that's under quarantine? And it makes a

660
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: lot of sense to me. But you've also got John Harball,

661
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,280
Speaker 1: the head that's Bruce Arians, head coach of the bucks

662
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: at John Harba says it is humanly impossible to do

663
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: all the protocols that the league has set up in

664
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: front of us to do and still get a team

665
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: ready to play football. You can't do it. And I

666
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: get his point. It's almost like you have to practice

667
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 1: every other day, but because between practice, you gotta disinfect

668
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: all the equipment. And I don't want to get graphic, Maddie,

669
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: but if you are an athlete, think about think about

670
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: the shoulder pads and helmets and pants and all that

671
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: stuff coming off these guys after a practice in ninety

672
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: degree temper. I mean it's like it weighs fifteen pounds

673
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: extra because of a sweat and grime in it. I mean,

674
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: you got and then you gotta disinfect it all. Not

675
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: just not just let the pads dry out. I mean

676
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: you got to like put them in an oven like

677
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: they have these disinfected you know what. I mean, they're

678
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: at these big tanks that they can hang all the

679
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: gear in and turn it on. I don't know whether

680
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: it I don't know how it does it, whether it

681
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 1: bakes it or ultra Vita lights it or whatever it does.

682
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 1: And you know, you gotta do that for all these guys,

683
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: and you got ninety guys you gotta do it for,

684
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: and yeah, and all the other stuff that goes with it,

685
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 1: handwashing masks, you know, So what are you gonna do?

686
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:53,959
Speaker 1: Practice every other day? Once that's no you that's hard

687
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: to get ready to play football hard to do. That

688
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: doesn't help that the rosters are so big right now, right,

689
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: it's not a fifty three man you have. You have

690
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: ninety something players on your roster right now, right, I

691
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: don't know. And then you got you know, the guys.

692
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: Then the guys leave, they go home, they got you know,

693
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: some of these guys are in their thirties, they got

694
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: wives and kids, they got other outside businesses they got there.

695
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 1: These guys are businesses and of themselves, right. These guys

696
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: are incorporated, some of them when they're walking around trying

697
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: to and they're trying to run all that stuff. And

698
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 1: and plus having a wife in fleet that you want

699
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: to you know, spend time with and live with anyway. Man,

700
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: it's it's endless. The challenges, it's endless. And it just

701
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: seems so simple a month ago, like it'll be good,

702
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: they'll open up. People are getting excited to open people

703
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: have half the people in the stadium. I don't know.

704
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: I mean, how's it gonna look? And I think about this,

705
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: now what and I well, this is all worst case scenario, right,

706
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: We're just like hype. You know, this is all just hypotheses. Right,

707
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 1: So you're going and Wednesday, Thursday, get around and they

708
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: test guys. Probably they'll probably test guys on Wednesday. They'll

709
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: probably test guys on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, right, probably

710
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: Saturday day before the game, so that they'll know who

711
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: can actually take the field. Right, So you get the

712
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: Saturday or it doesn't matter. Maybe Wednesday test, you got

713
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: fifteen guys that got it. But you know you got

714
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: a fifty three man roster, and say say fifteen or so,

715
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: you got thirty eight guys that are healthy or and

716
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: they so you can activate a couple of guys off

717
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: the practice squad so you can get it up to

718
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 1: like forty two or forty three guys are healthy, so

719
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: technically you can still still play the game and like

720
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: fifteen guys or are out. I mean it happens on

721
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 1: injuries sometimes, but usually it's like over the course, it's

722
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 1: not just like you know, it's not right. And during

723
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: during the week, you know they're all healthy, they're practicing,

724
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: there's all happy, everybody's great. Then like on Wednesday or

725
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: like Thursday, you get the test results back on Thursday,

726
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 1: it's like boom, twelve guys down. And then you think

727
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: about to Harbaugh's point, he was complaining about all of

728
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: this and saying it's impossible to follow. But is every

729
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: team going to follow it that precisely? Some teams are

730
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: probably going to be looser than other teams. Is it

731
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: going to be to their advantage until stuff hits the

732
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: fan and people find out that they've been lying about

733
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: COVID on the team or I'm just thinking about, like

734
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 1: the worst thing that could go wrong if like a

735
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 1: team decides to not like report these, which would be terrible.

736
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,959
Speaker 1: But some teams are probably going to be a little

737
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: bit looser than others, and how strict they are. I

738
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: think the Bills are a team that is super strict

739
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: about all this. Just right, He's a rule follower. And

740
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: here's the thing too, think about this, Mattie. So wouldn't

741
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 1: it be that you would think that, okay, it's the

742
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:20,760
Speaker 1: ultimate policeman would be the virus itself. If your team

743
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: skimps on the protocols, you would be the team that

744
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: all of a sudden has fifteen guys get it. Hope,

745
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: you know, I say, hopefully, hopefully the virus police. Is

746
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,240
Speaker 1: this right? If you're not doing everything exactly like the

747
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 1: nine page memos says, you're supposed to do it. Maybe

748
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: you're one of those teams that gets snapped off and

749
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: like half your roster goes down for two weeks. Right,

750
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 1: But you can't count on that, right because it you know,

751
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: maybe they and then one team that's trying to do

752
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 1: it exactly right, they got all these guys working hard

753
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: and they're they're a team that gets hit hard with it.

754
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,959
Speaker 1: I you know, it's so arbitrary as to who gets

755
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: it because you know it's not visible you know who's

756
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: doing it. The Players Association is certainly gonna have their

757
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: eyes on everything. They're gonna ask their players and their

758
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: player reps to you know, to report any miss steps

759
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: and the protocols, but that would require the players to

760
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 1: know them all and read the nine page thing and

761
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:17,399
Speaker 1: have you spend time doing Mostly players are like this, man,

762
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 1: you know this too. You're an athlete, right, you go

763

767
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 1: That's the way they are, right. If you're gonna ask

768
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: the players to police that they're they're too busy there. Yeah,

769
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: that's that's beyond the job that they signed up for,

770
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: right right to all of it. Right, you're gonna put

Speaker 1: Bills to a new level? Is that Dawson Knox forty

779

Speaker 1: eight percent of you think it is going to be

780
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: the tight end. Is it gonna be Zach Moss, a

781
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 1: third round running back who is very close to signing

782
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,520

00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio, presented by Kalida Health. This

797
00:42:53,360 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: is One Bills Live. Welcome back to One Bill's Life

798
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: to task dramatic lab here till three O'clock's coming up

799
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 1: at two o'clock. We've got a Twitter poll out who's

800
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: going to be the Bill's X factor in twenty twenty.

801
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: We've got some feedback from that on the tweet sheet.

802
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: Let's go to the tweet sheet, brought to you by

803
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: Corgan Moving Systems, the official equipment movers of the Buffalo Bills.

804
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: Maddie all right, so Evans, says Josh Norman. Because he's

805
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: coming back into Sean mcdermot's system. I don't expect a

806
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl kind of season. From Norman, but I expect

807
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 1: to have a shutdown number two opposite of Trey White

808
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: and Steve You already talked about this a little bit.

809
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: He's going back into a system where he made his name,

810
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 1: he's known for excelling under underneath Sean McDermott and Sean

811
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 1: mcdermot's defense. I think this is the perfect place for

812
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: Josh Norman right now, and there's a lot of hope

813
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: for his career that he can he can get better

814
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: next season and the season to come while he's on

815
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Yeah, I think there's there's something to

816
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 1: be said, I think, but Bill's fans have seen a

817
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: ton of it over the last three years with Sean McDermott,

818
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean, of getting guys that fit not just socially

819
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: and culturally with you know, the the culture change they

820
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 1: had to do. You know, they get these guys that

821
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 1: are just fan you know, great guys and all that,

822
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,439
Speaker 1: but also skill set. And I think Josh Norman's skill

823
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: set the way he thinks, and I think you got

824
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 1: an idea of it of how intelligent and articulate he

825
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,240
Speaker 1: is when you spoke to him last week on that interview.

826
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: That's why guys are successful. It's there. It's their intelligence

827
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: and their savvy and their skill set meshed together, and

828
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:35,760
Speaker 1: he put those together. I think he could be great

829
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 1: on I think he could be great in Bill's in

830
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 1: this defense. We've got a call online and Ken in Rochester. Ken,

831
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: you're willing with Steven Mattie? Go ahead, what's on your mind? Hey?

832
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: How you guys doing doing great? That's good? Hey? The

833
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 1: X factor I think this year for the Bills is

834
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: Brian Dable. And the reason I say this is not

835
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: because of his play calling, but his philosophy has to

836
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 1: change this year to make this Bill's offense put the

837
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:18,720
Speaker 1: pressure on other defenses. We know what we got in Josh,

838
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 1: we know what we got in you know, on the offense.

839
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 1: Now's the time to use this, uh, this offense and

840
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: put the pressure on It's like the last twenty years

841
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 1: we've had a Honda in the garage and now we

842
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: got a Corvette and let's open this thing up and

843
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 1: make defenses. Uh, you know, have to play against the

844
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 1: Buffalo's offense. Wouldn't it be nice? Can? I think what

845
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: you're saying is, wouldn't it be nice to have an

846
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,439
Speaker 1: offense that like scored thirty points a game. I mean

847
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: where they scored a ton of touchdowns and then we're

848
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: just you know, that's that's fun to watch, is it not.

849
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 1: I mean that's what we'd kind of like to see

850
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, right, Yeah. And I think you know, we

851
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 1: got the offense. We out the players in place. You know,

852
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs just being on the field changes things and

853
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,760
Speaker 1: without even throwing a pass to him, it opens things

854
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 1: up for guys like John Brown and other other players.

855
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 1: And you know, we got the running backs this year.

856
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: We got a lot of different parts to make this offense.

857
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: And I think Brian Dable has to and I think

858
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: he's got to be drooling about the possibilities this year,

859
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,360
Speaker 1: and you know, change the philosophy and put the pressure

860
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: on the defenses. Yeah, I'll agree with you, Ken, I'll

861
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: tell you this. I don't think the Bill's gonna see

862
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:41,839
Speaker 1: too much single high safety this year. I just don't

863
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 1: think they will. I think the defense they're going to

864
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: have to put an umbrella over the top of them

865
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: and make sure that those guys are covered up. I

866
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: think that's a big issue. And I think with Steph

867
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 1: Diggs and John Brown and Cole Beasley in the slot.

868
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: I think they're just gonna take a guy out of

869
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 1: the box. They're not going to be able to do that,

870
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 1: and I think that's a reason that you may get

871
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 1: a chance to see Devin Singletarry or Zach Moss really

872
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 1: have a big year. I don't know what. It makes

873
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 1: some sense to me. We'll see. Hey, Ken, thanks for

874
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 1: the call, appreciate it. Anybody else wants to call you?

Speaker 1: Their rankings. Are also gonna get uh some questions like

879
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 1: would you rather and give you some choices, and some

880
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 1: of them are humorous, some of them are pretty good.

881
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: We'll be back rent to do that at the top

882
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,759

883
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 1: Bill's Live presented by Kalid to Health And this is

884
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio for a great tackle by Steve Taster,

885
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: tost tous dow text ta stop at all time. Welcome

886
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 1: back to one of Bill's Live Steve Taster and Maddie

887
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: glab Here till three o'clock. We were just talking in

888
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: the breaking during the sports update about the golf that

889
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour is back on doing the social distancing thing.

890
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 1: There was a playoff, and Maddie I was I was

891
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:10,839
Speaker 1: kind of We were talking about it during the break.

892
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: You didn't watch the golf this weekend. You played some golf.

893
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: I didn't watch the golf either, and it brought up

894
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,439
Speaker 1: a point. I don't want to get off off topic orthing,

895
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:21,359
Speaker 1: but i gotta ask you, do we run the risk

896
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 1: of everybody finding other things to do rather than sit

897
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,800
Speaker 1: at home and watch sports during all of this because

898
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:28,919
Speaker 1: it's off the radar so much because it's not there

899
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:34,479
Speaker 1: to watch. Are people gonna, like maybe not come back

900
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: as quickly or as powerfully as we think, maybe thought

901
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: they would. That's a good question, I think for right

902
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,880
Speaker 1: now the time being, with how nice it has gotten,

903
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: especially in Buffalo, people are going to take advantage of

904
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 1: the time outside because we've been cooped up inside for

905
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 1: way too long. So I'm definitely going to come back

906
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 1: to sports, but I'm also going to enjoy being outside. Yeah,

907
00:48:57,719 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 1: I think that may be the thing. It's so nice

908
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 1: during the summer. Everybody's getting out. Yeah, you kind of

909
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 1: don't watch TV in the summer him anyway, in summertime

910
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 1: on weekends anyway, Right, you kind of go out and

911
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you this true, not for nothing. It

912
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: used to be why the NFL. That's why the NFL

913
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,839
Speaker 1: moved the opening start of the season off Labor Day.

914
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 1: Nobody was at home to watch TV. Everybody's gone, so

915
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 1: they they don't want to put games on Labor Day

916
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:27,320
Speaker 1: weekend because nobody was watching them. M So there's that.

917
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 1: So I guess there is something to be said. Just

918
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 1: all right, I'm just that's finding good. I'm glad people

919
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: are gonna come back and watch the NFL. Then wouldn't

920
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 1: be better? Oh of course, who's the X factor of

921
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 1: the Bill's season in twenty twenty? Is it Dawson Knox

922
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 1: the tight end? Is it Zach Moss the running back?

923
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 1: Is it Josh Norman and free agent cornerback that is

924
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:48,399
Speaker 1: coming back to Sean McDermott's system, or is it somebody else?

925
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 1: Gift us a call at eight oh three five fifty

926
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 1: one eighty eight five fifty two five fifty got a

927
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: ton of stuff on the tweet sheet. Brought to you

928
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: by Corgan Moving Systems, the official movers of the Buffalo Bills. Maddie,

929
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: we have a new tweet sheet coming at us. What

930
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: do you got? People must like this the pole we

931
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 1: got today because there's been some good responses. So Tom says,

932
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 1: Zach Attack, which is he coining Zach Moss's nickname on

933
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: the team right now, Zach Attack will have more touches

934
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 1: per game than Dawson in a crowded, tight end group.

935
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:28,399
Speaker 1: Love Dawson, but Zach should have a bigger impact both

936
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 1: running and catching. Just worry about his blocking, which Dawson

937
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 1: is still working on. I think Zach Moss is going

938
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:37,839
Speaker 1: to get a good amount of touches, but I think,

939
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 1: I mean, Devin Singletary is obviously their number one, and

940
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean has said this before. I think Zach Moss

941
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,319
Speaker 1: is going to play a role similar to Frank Gore.

942
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 1: He's a little bit more big and we'll have a

943
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,240
Speaker 1: factor in the ground and pound game versus Devin Singletary,

944
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: who's a little bit more elusive running back. But I

945
00:50:57,840 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: think Dawson Knox is going to have a bigger impact

946
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 1: than Zack Moss in the catching and receiving game. I mean,

947
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: you think the big plays that Dawson had last year

948
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,840
Speaker 1: and what he can do for this year. But I

949
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,760
Speaker 1: do think Zach Moss is going to play an impact

950
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: on this team in his rookie year. To me, it's

951
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: a great question because it's kind of a race to

952
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 1: see if can Dawson Knox build on what he did

953
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: last year. Is Josh gonna see him and throw him

954
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:28,840
Speaker 1: the football, Is he gonna get enough opportunities to contribute,

955
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: and if he makes the most of those opportunities. We've

956
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,439
Speaker 1: seen with McDermott and Brian day Bole that if you start,

957
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 1: you know, if they start investing some touches in you

958
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 1: and you start coming through, you're gonna get more touches.

959
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,399
Speaker 1: And the same thing with Zach Moss. So it's kind

960
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 1: of a race. It really is a coin flip for me, Zach,

961
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 1: you know, Zack Moss and Dawson Knox. Dawson is certainly

962
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 1: more established. He's gonna get on the field right away,

963
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: but he's playing tight end. Zach Moss is playing running back.

964
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 1: When he's on the field, he's going to see the ball.

965
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 1: Not quite so certain. Dawson Knox is gonna get the

966
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 1: ball every time he's on the field like the running

967
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: back is in any certain situations. So it really is

968
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:11,360
Speaker 1: gonna be a race for those two guys. In my opinion, Maddie,

969
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,399
Speaker 1: I think it comes down to who does the most

970
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 1: with their opportunity. I think they're both gonna get. You know,

971
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 1: Zach is going to be limited by Devin Singletary. Dawson's

972
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 1: gonna be limited because he's playing tight end and they're

973
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,479
Speaker 1: gonna be running the football and he's gonna be pass blocking.

974
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: He's gonna be, you know, running routes with where you know, uh,

975
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:31,879
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs is going to be the guy's numbers called,

976
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 1: and he'll be the second or third option. Same thing

977
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: when they call John Brown's number, same thing when Cole

978
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:38,959
Speaker 1: Beasley's in the slot. Dawson Knox may be the fifth

979
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: option in the passing game a lot of times as well.

980
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: So how many opportunities is he gonna get? Really interesting

981
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:50,839
Speaker 1: to think about how Zach Moss and Dawson Knox are

982
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 1: gonna be used and how many opportunities they get. Because

983
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:55,839
Speaker 1: you always think I'm sitting here like like you right,

984
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:59,279
Speaker 1: don't you just kind of think both those guys, don't

985
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 1: you just have a high hopes for what they're going

986
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 1: to do. Oh totally. I mean based off what we

987
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 1: saw the Dawson Knox last year, and based off the

988
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 1: tape that we've seen from Zach Moss at Utah and

989
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:13,719
Speaker 1: how we watched him get in the end zone time

990
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 1: after time. I mean, he was productive at Utah. He

991
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:22,720
Speaker 1: is a strong running back. He breaks tackles like downfield runner.

992
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 1: There's a lot of promise in this offense this year. Yeah,

993
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 1: I like, and I like the way day Ball calls

994
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 1: it too. I mean, he gets guys running open, he

995
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:34,839
Speaker 1: gets guys, he gets matchups that he wants. He gives

996
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 1: guys opportunities and and you know it's gonna be up

997
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 1: to Josh and distribute the whole thing as well. I

998
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 1: get from the tweet sheet again, we've got from Joseph

999
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:46,280
Speaker 1: cody Ford at right tackle. This is the other category

1000
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,360
Speaker 1: in our twitter poll. Cody Ford at right tackle. He

1001
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 1: had the ability and the size to enhance the run game.

1002
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:54,320
Speaker 1: And hope he takes a step in year two. We

1003
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 1: made this call last week, Maddie. There was a statistic

1004
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:05,400
Speaker 1: when when Tie and Secki was on the field, the

1005
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 1: team finished finished drives with touchdowns at a vastly more

1006
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 1: efficient rate than they did when Cody Ford was at

1007
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: right tackle. If they can get to that with a

1008
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 1: right tackle, and if it is Cody Ford and you've

1009
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 1: got you've got guys to play guard as well, I

1010
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: mean you've got enough guys. If they can find an

1011
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,800
Speaker 1: offensive line that will allow them with a right tackle,

1012
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 1: if it is Cody Ford, if it's anybody else, if

1013
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 1: the offensive line takes a step forward, I think this

1014
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:35,800
Speaker 1: whole team gets exponentially better. Yeah, I completely agree. And

1015
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 1: Cody Ford is somebody as a rookie who is asked

1016
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 1: to do quite a bit rotating from right guard a

1017
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 1: right tackle. He played guard mostly at Oklahoma, but was

1018
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 1: a lot He took a lot of those snaps at

1019
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: right tackle for the Bills, and I think what he

1020
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 1: was able to do being asked to switch between both

1021
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:58,839
Speaker 1: positions as a rookie, I think maybe some people wanted

1022
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: him to perform a little bit it better. But I

1023
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:03,360
Speaker 1: was happy with what he did in his rookie season,

1024
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:08,359
Speaker 1: and he's only going to get better under Bobby Johnson too, Right.

1025
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you the truth is, I think the

1026
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 1: team has the flexib I don't think the team is

1027
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:17,800
Speaker 1: trying to pound Cody Ford into right tackle just to

1028
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 1: justify a pick. I don't think they really care about

1029
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 1: where he was. He was drafted high, no question, But

1030
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 1: if you get him as a guard, Okay, if he's

1031
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: better at guard, they'll play him there. They're not gonna

1032
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna pound him into the right

1033
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:34,319
Speaker 1: tackles slot no matter what. I think they're gonna put

1034
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 1: the best guy out there if they can. They're certainly

1035
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 1: gonna give him a chance to evolve into a right

1036
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 1: tackle if he can. But I don't think they're they're

1037
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 1: hell bent on making sure he's a right tackle just

1038
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 1: to justify his pick. I think they're gonna put the

1039
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 1: best five guys on and in the best five spots

1040
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,280
Speaker 1: they can, right, all right, a couple more tweet sheets

1041
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 1: before we get to would you rather from Lynnwood? Cole

1042
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:58,839
Speaker 1: Beasley will be the X factor underneath with the threats

1043
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:01,359
Speaker 1: of Brown and Digs pushing the defense back, you think

1044
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley certainly you can conjure up a scenario where

1045
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley has a breakout not a breakout year. I mean,

1046
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 1: the guy's been in the league nine years, But you

1047
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:12,919
Speaker 1: know where he becomes Josh Allen's guy, becomes undefensable because

1048
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 1: teams just can't afford to put more than one guy

1049
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 1: on him. Yeah, Cole Beasley is hard to cover regardless

1050
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 1: because he is I mean, he's smaller, but he is.

1051
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:29,400
Speaker 1: He gets so low to the ground and his breaks

1052
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:32,839
Speaker 1: when he's running routes, it is incredible. I think he's

1053
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 1: a mismatch right away. And if guys are covering Brown

1054
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:39,719
Speaker 1: and Digs more, I mean that opens up more opportunities

1055
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:42,320
Speaker 1: for Cole Beasley, who is a seasoned vet in the

1056
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 1: NFL and has proved himself. And I don't know if

1057
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 1: I would consider him an X factor just because of

1058
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:51,279
Speaker 1: what he's done in the league already. I think a

1059
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 1: lot of people know that he's going to have a

1060
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 1: productive year in and out last season, this season, seasons

1061
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 1: to come. He's somebody who don't. I don't necessarily look

1062
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:04,399
Speaker 1: at him like I look at Dawson Knox, and there's

1063
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:07,840
Speaker 1: still a question mark if Dawson Knox can prove himself

1064
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:11,080
Speaker 1: in this league. Colbeasley's already done that, right, I agree?

1065
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:13,279
Speaker 1: I agreed. That was a tweet sheet brought to you

1066
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 1: by Corgan Moving Systems. The official equipment movers of the

1067
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:19,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Mattie, you ready to do some would you rather?

1068
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 1: Let's do it? Tell me what this entails? Yeah, tell

1069
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 1: me what this entails. So we're not gonna do guess

1070
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: the stat today. It's this is a little bit easier.

1071
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 1: Some fun scenarios of would you rather this? Or that?

1072
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 1: These can be some situations related to football or maybe

1073
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: just some football players in different types of situations. So,

1074
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 1: first one, who would you rather tackle on a kickoff?

1075
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 1: Devin Hester or Dion Sanders? Um? So would you rather?

1076
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 1: Would I rather? Tell? Okay, I think well, Devin Hester

1077
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 1: and Nance. I've tackled Don a couple of times on kickoffs. Um,

1078
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: not easy to do. Plus he's really dangerous. Devin Hester

1079
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 1: may be the best guy to ever do it. So

1080
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 1: which So here's the question? Is it? Which one helps

1081
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 1: you best? Which one would I have to tackle, which

1082
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: one's the most difficult tackle? Or which would I rather

1083
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 1: have in my feather in my cap as the guy

1084
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 1: I tackled? That's the question, because that you're taking it

1085
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 1: for granted. If I'm gonna make the tackle, I'll do

1086
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 1: Devin Hester because I've tackled Devin I've put that in

1087
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 1: so that way, I've tackled both of them. Devin Hester

1088
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 1: played after I was finished, and he may and he's

1089
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 1: you know, there are people talking about him getting in

1090
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame because he's such a good return guy. Right,

1091
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 1: and he returned to touch one for a touchdown a

1092
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Yeah, i'd say, Devin Hester, I've done Dion,

1093
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 1: which is no easy task. But Devin Hester I would

1094
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 1: like to have had the chance to do that. Yeah,

1095
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 1: he was a great player. Callie, what about you? You

1096
00:58:56,920 --> 00:59:00,440
Speaker 1: gotta do what is this just for me? It's for you,

1097
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:04,400
Speaker 1: But all I can chime in, I'd rather tackle prime time.

1098
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 1: I think that'd be cool. You've already done it, so

1099
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 1: I've paid the price once or twice too. I always always,

1100
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 1: he was always, He's so fast. Dean Sanders was without question,

1101
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 1: the fastest player I ever played against. M On film,

1102
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 1: you'd watch him. He was just unbelievable. And in the

1103
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 1: games there was a couple of times where we did

1104
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 1: tackle him and stuff, but it just just unbelievably fluid

1105
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 1: in his running, unbelievably fast, unbelievably change of direction, was

1106
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 1: was phenomenal. He just had it all and he just

1107
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 1: he outran everybody. He outran the angle. Uh, he outran crowd,

1108
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 1: He ran through crowds of people. He was just a

1109
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 1: phenomenal athlete, and he was just he may be the

1110
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 1: one of the old time great players I ever played against.

1111
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 1: So I was kind of glad that I got to

1112
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:58,680
Speaker 1: tackle him once or twice. But yeah, I was a

1113
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 1: couple of times I was lucky to So, all right,

1114
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 1: who would you rather go camping and share a tent with?

1115
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 1: Ted Washington or Sam Adam? But if it's a six

1116
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 1: man tent, it would be probably Ted Washington. Ted and

1117
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 1: I are friends, so I would I was, okay, But

1118
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 1: Ted's bigger than Sam. Ted's I've said this a million times.

1119
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:25,600
Speaker 1: So I hung during my career. You know, I was

1120
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 1: almost five nine, guy buck eighty and wasn't very big.

1121
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 1: And all the guys I hung out with, all my friends,

1122
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:34,720
Speaker 1: all they were all six four six five sixty six,

1123
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 1: and we're all big, right, three hundred pounds some of them,

1124
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 1: you know, six five three ten six five three three,

1125
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 1: And so you know, in your adult life you hang

1126
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:46,440
Speaker 1: around with all your friends and all that. You know this, Maddie,

1127
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:48,200
Speaker 1: I mean, not for nothing, but you're not you know,

1128
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 1: you're not six two either, right, right, you are preaching

1129
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 1: of the choir. I understand everybody is always bigger than me. Right,

1130
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 1: So Jermaine Edmonds looks like a tree. When I was

1131
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:01,120
Speaker 1: at him, I'm like, how are you that tall? Exactly?

1132
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 1: So I'm walking around, so I'm and here's the here's

1133
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 1: how I rated it. Because you get used to it, right,

1134
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:10,440
Speaker 1: You get used to like you hang around, right, you

1135
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:14,400
Speaker 1: forget all right, but you get around him and you think, okay,

1136
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:16,479
Speaker 1: I'm just that's just life. You get used to looking

1137
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 1: up at him, you get used to talking to him.

1138
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 1: You get immune to the size until maybe you go

1139
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 1: out in regular public and see everybody else is not

1140
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 1: that tall. Right. When I played for the Bills and

1141
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 1: we got Ted Washing, I think in nineteen ninety five

1142
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 1: was Ted's first season with us. He was the one

1143
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 1: player that every single day, when I would see him

1144
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 1: for the first time in the day, I would think, Wow,

1145
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:46,600
Speaker 1: that guy's really big. No matter if I was hanging around,

1146
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 1: you know, Pete Metzlars, who's six eight two fifty five

1147
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:52,000
Speaker 1: or two sixty or something. The other guys who were

1148
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 1: six sixty, Ted Washington would walk into the locker room

1149
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 1: or you'd see him, Andy Man. That is one big guy.

1150
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 1: He transcended everybody because of how big he was, tall

1151
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 1: and wide and large. You know, from the top of

1152
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 1: his head all the way to the soles of his feet.

1153
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 1: He darkened the sun. You know, the doorway was blotted

1154
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 1: out when he walked in. And he was just phen

1155
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 1: almost so and uh so, yeah, he's probably he's bigger

1156
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 1: than Sam Adams, but I would still because he's a

1157
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:26,960
Speaker 1: buddy of still share the ted all right. Would you

1158
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 1: rather have George Kittle or Travis Kelsey block for you?

1159
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 1: I would say George Kittle because I think he's better

1160
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 1: at it, and he's a nasty blocker. Have you seen

1161
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 1: the guy? He pancakes people, um, and he likes it,

1162
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 1: and he takes good at it. He's got good paddle.

1163
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 1: He's just yeah, yeah, if he's walking for you, you

1164
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 1: don't get tackled. So that's yeah, not good at it,

1165
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:53,160
Speaker 1: he's he is. But I'm I'm taking Yeah, George kittles better.

1166
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 1: Would you rather spend a day with Andy Reid or

1167
01:02:56,040 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 1: John Gruden? Um, Listen, here's the thing, here's the way

1168
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:05,040
Speaker 1: I see it. John Gruden would be like a master's

1169
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 1: course in football. He'd be talking x's and knows he'd

1170
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 1: be doing that. You know, you'd be doing whiteboard stuff,

1171
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:11,920
Speaker 1: Andy Reid. We'd be at a barbecue, right, we'd be

1172
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,919
Speaker 1: wearing Hawaiian shirts. And why at this point in my life,

1173
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 1: I'm more kind of guy, Right, I don't really want

1174
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 1: the graduate course in x's nose and whiteboard. Gruden never

1175
01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:24,959
Speaker 1: lets up. Man, his foot's always on the gas about

1176
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:28,440
Speaker 1: football football, Andy Reid. Yeah, we'll get you know, we

1177
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 1: get some Kansas City barbecue and put our feet up

1178
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 1: and crack one open, and you know, have you know,

1179
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 1: I have a nice day. I would rather, I say,

1180
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, just because of the low keyness of it.

1181
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:42,920
Speaker 1: That's what I think. I like it. Do you remember

1182
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 1: when Gruden used to do Gruden's quarterback camp on exactly that.

1183
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:53,200
Speaker 1: I was obsessed with those, like I love those, And

1184
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:57,280
Speaker 1: when Josh Dobbs was on it, he was Tennessee's quarterback

1185
01:03:57,320 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 1: while I worked there. Well, Josh Dobbs pie me in

1186
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 1: the face on pie Day because Josh recited seventy four

1187
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:08,360
Speaker 1: decibels of pie and so um, I made it onto

1188
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:13,640
Speaker 1: Gruden's quarterback camp because Josh had to break down me

1189
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 1: getting pied in the face, and I was like, this

1190
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 1: is one of the coolest moments in my career. I

1191
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 1: made it on Gruden's Quarterback Camp. I did get pied

1192
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:25,200
Speaker 1: in the face on national television. But that is totally

1193
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:28,880
Speaker 1: okay because I was so obsessed at that show. When

1194
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 1: we get back in the studio, that's going on the air,

1195
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 1: we got we have got to get that video exists.

1196
01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 1: We have got to get Maddie being pied in the

1197
01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:44,000
Speaker 1: face by Josh Dobbs. That is a must. I get it.

1198
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 1: You're obsessed with quarterback Gruden's Quarterback Yeah. I loved it.

1199
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 1: I mean I I anytime I can learn more about

1200
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 1: football from x's most standpoint, I'm always trying to do

1201
01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:59,720
Speaker 1: that myself. But it was always so fun to watch

1202
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:02,600
Speaker 1: that and watch them break down some some plays and

1203
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:05,120
Speaker 1: things like that. I just I love I live with that. Yeah,

1204
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 1: you're right, But if I'm going to spend a day

1205
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 1: with somebody, I don't want to spend all day at

1206
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:16,080
Speaker 1: the whiteboard. Okay, that's all right. Would you rather have

1207
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 1: a shortened season with fans or an entire regular season

1208
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:24,640
Speaker 1: with no fans? Okay, here's what I would rather. I

1209
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 1: would rather have an entire regular season with no fans

1210
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 1: and then have the Bills get a home playoff game

1211
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 1: with fans. That's what. Yeah, what a shiver you would

1212
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:41,320
Speaker 1: get going into the stadium then when it was full

1213
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:43,520
Speaker 1: after being empty for so long in all those games.

1214
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:47,520
Speaker 1: That's wow, that would be pretty I mean if that

1215
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 1: happened and we had a home playoff game and it

1216
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 1: was the first game that fans could be at, I

1217
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:55,360
Speaker 1: honestly would probably cry. That right makes me tear up

1218
01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 1: right now. Like if like just just like a hypothetical,

1219
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:04,840
Speaker 1: that would that would really be an all time moment

1220
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:08,600
Speaker 1: in Buffalo history, that that day getting it that you

1221
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 1: couldn't get near that place, that people would be hanging

1222
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:15,840
Speaker 1: off the fence trying to get in that game, a

1223
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 1: home playoff game, and then after breaking a quarantine, after

1224
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 1: like all those games with no fans and the first

1225
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:24,760
Speaker 1: one being a home playoff game, that would be an

1226
01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:27,440
Speaker 1: all timer. That would be the old time moment in

1227
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 1: Bill's history to that point. If that happened this year,

1228
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 1: would about it? That is what I would rather right

1229
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:40,080
Speaker 1: there that I cannot That would be That's awesome. It's

1230
01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 1: awesome to think about, right, And yeah, we can think

1231
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 1: of all these worst case scenarios or guys, you know,

1232
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:50,400
Speaker 1: fifteen guys going down with COVID on the two nights

1233
01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 1: before the game or night before the game, and all

1234
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:55,000
Speaker 1: I can think. But how about the best case in

1235
01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 1: the in case we don't have fans, is that the

1236
01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 1: first time fans are allowed in is like, you know,

1237
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 1: January fifteenth, home game Orchard Park, New York Bills versus whoever,

1238
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:12,920
Speaker 1: I can't even stand the cold. Yes, the Yes Sisters

1239
01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:15,960
Speaker 1: of the Poor would be the team we've playing, so

1240
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 1: we'd crush, right, It would be awesome, It would be

1241
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 1: all right. Would you rather have Big Ben or Philip

1242
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 1: Rivers as your quarterback? Well, let me just let me

1243
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 1: just let me just put on my you know, general

1244
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 1: managers thing. I want to see. I want a physical

1245
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:37,640
Speaker 1: on Big Ben before. I want to see his elbow

1246
01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 1: before I say big band. But I would say if

1247
01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 1: he's healthy, I would say, big bang, Yeah, I think

1248
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:44,360
Speaker 1: he's got more in the tank. Although both those guys

1249
01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 1: are you know, Methuselah. But uh, I like big Ben.

1250
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:53,240
Speaker 1: I've always liked the way he throws it. Um. Now

1251
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,320
Speaker 1: you do get a little baggage with him, no question.

1252
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:57,720
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers is probably more of a team US and

1253
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:00,400
Speaker 1: we guy. Big Ben's more of a me it's my

1254
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:04,760
Speaker 1: team kind of guy. Uh, well, I think I think

1255
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 1: I just I think I'd probably just rather have a

1256
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 1: big Ben. He throws it better. He guy's got two

1257
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:12,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowls, you know he does. Would you rather be

1258
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 1: on the eighty five Bears or the eighty eight forty

1259
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:21,439
Speaker 1: nine Ers or a different super Bowl team? Yeah, eighty

1260
01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:26,000
Speaker 1: eight Bear, eighty five Bears or the eighty eight forty

1261
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:32,160
Speaker 1: nine Ers. Probably eighty five Bears. I'm a Chicago guy.

1262
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 1: I went to school in Chicago. That would mean something.

1263
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:38,719
Speaker 1: I'd say, the eighty five Bears, right, me and Leslie

1264
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:44,639
Speaker 1: and Leslie Fraser be teammates with Leslie? Yeah, sounds very fun.

1265
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:46,880
Speaker 1: All right, I'd say that. That's what I would say.

1266
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:51,840
Speaker 1: All Right, we got one more. Would you rather have

1267
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:55,840
Speaker 1: the Bills lose every game in a season or missed

1268
01:08:55,880 --> 01:09:04,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs? In the dying seconds of Week sixteen, I'd

1269
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:07,680
Speaker 1: rather miss the playoffs in the dying seconds. Yeah, I

1270
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:10,639
Speaker 1: can't eat. I can't live through an oh in sixteen season.

1271
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:14,960
Speaker 1: I couldn't do it. I would now down. I would

1272
01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:19,639
Speaker 1: wither and die in a sixteen lost season. How hard

1273
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 1: would our jobs be if we were covering a team

1274
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:26,040
Speaker 1: during it own sixteen season? I could not do it.

1275
01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 1: I could not do it. Now. It's different if it

1276
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:30,640
Speaker 1: was none sixteen season where we lost a couple of

1277
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 1: tough games and then like had to four foot ten

1278
01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:39,640
Speaker 1: games because of COVID, that's different. That's different. But if

1279
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:42,200
Speaker 1: they actually played sixteen games and lost all of them,

1280
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 1: I couldn't do it. I would I would absolutely go

1281
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:53,519
Speaker 1: mute from stress. That's yeah, I'm totally yeah. I have

1282
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:58,960
Speaker 1: to be like thirty minutes instead of three. That's right,

1283
01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:01,400
Speaker 1: it would be. That's exactly right. We couldn't do it,

1284
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:04,560
Speaker 1: all right, that was it? That was it? Would you

1285
01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:07,040
Speaker 1: rather a lot of interesting choices there? Thank you for

Speaker 1: Pastor Maddie glaberd Here till three two o'clock, Arthur Moates,

1298
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:55,200
Speaker 1: former Bill current radio analysts in radio personality in Pittsburgh,

1299
01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:59,479
Speaker 1: coming on the line. We've got an article it's on

1300
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:03,040
Speaker 1: the g our website about tight ends and get a

1301
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:05,240
Speaker 1: little run down on Dawson Knox. He's also one of

1302
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:07,559
Speaker 1: our choices today for the X factor in the Bills

1303
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:11,799
Speaker 1: twenty twenty season. And there's a big tight end ranking

1304
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:21,000
Speaker 1: out there as well. And it's interesting about Oh Mattie,

1305
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:23,320
Speaker 1: about what tight ends are, what you expect from him

1306
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:25,479
Speaker 1: and some of the best tight ends in the league

1307
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:28,519
Speaker 1: and what they were like at the point of their

1308
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:32,000
Speaker 1: career where Dawson Knox is right now after their rookie seasons,

1309
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:34,439
Speaker 1: Like I got like zach Ertz had thirty six receptions

1310
01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:37,800
Speaker 1: in four to sixty nine yards, George Kittle forty three

1311
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:41,120
Speaker 1: receptions for five hundred and some yards, and Gronkowski had

1312
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:44,840
Speaker 1: forty two receptions for five hundred and forty six yards,

1313
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:49,400
Speaker 1: and of course we all know two with Dawson Knox

1314
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:52,280
Speaker 1: twenty eight receptions, it's like a half step behind a

1315
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:55,200
Speaker 1: guy like zach Ertz. And if Knox would have had

1316
01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 1: eight drops instead of ten, he'd had thirty eight receptions,

1317
01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:03,479
Speaker 1: two more then Zach if he'd had eight, Yeah, if

1318
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:06,280
Speaker 1: he'd had had eight drops, he would had thirty six

1319
01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:10,200
Speaker 1: receptions exactly like zach Ertz did in his rookie season

1320
01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:14,160
Speaker 1: instead of ten drops, you know, so, or if he

1321
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:16,519
Speaker 1: had two drops instead of ten drops, that kind of thing.

1322
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:19,360
Speaker 1: So zach Ertz just a kind of half a step

1323
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:23,200
Speaker 1: ahead as a rookie of where Dawson Knox is. Right now,

1324
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:25,640
Speaker 1: what do you think the top end for a guy

1325
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:27,519
Speaker 1: like Knox is? Do you think he's one of these

1326
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:30,840
Speaker 1: guys like a zach Ertz, like a George Kittle, like

1327
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:34,120
Speaker 1: a Gronkowski, I mean Gronkowski Hall of Fame type career.

1328
01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:37,560
Speaker 1: I think he can be. I think one thing that

1329
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 1: I started to look at today too, and this is

1330
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:41,840
Speaker 1: a conversation that a lot of people have had about

1331
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:45,479
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and just how high his ceiling is because

1332
01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:48,839
Speaker 1: of not that he didn't get a lot of experience

1333
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:51,080
Speaker 1: at Wyoming, but when you look at his stats and

1334
01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:53,640
Speaker 1: like how many attempts he had in the years that

1335
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:56,759
Speaker 1: he played for Wyoming, it's so much less than guys

1336
01:12:56,880 --> 01:13:02,000
Speaker 1: like other quarterbacks to around his age. And you look

1337
01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:05,080
Speaker 1: at Joe Burrows stats and he had like fifty percent

1338
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 1: more attempts in his years in college with LSU than

1339
01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:13,879
Speaker 1: Josh Allen did. So you look at what these players

1340
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:17,599
Speaker 1: did in college, how much exposure they got in college,

1341
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:21,720
Speaker 1: how many catches, how many opportunities did they have. And

1342
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:25,080
Speaker 1: I started looking at Dawson Knox because I think a

1343
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:27,160
Speaker 1: lot of people think he has a high ceiling, which

1344
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:31,000
Speaker 1: I completely agree with. But he's somebody who played quarterback

1345
01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:34,519
Speaker 1: in high school. He didn't start playing tight end until

1346
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:37,920
Speaker 1: he was in college. He walked on at ole Miss.

1347
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:39,920
Speaker 1: So this is somebody who didn't have a lot of

1348
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:43,559
Speaker 1: big offers from schools, was a preferred walk on at

1349
01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:47,680
Speaker 1: ole Miss. Didn't have any catches in twenty sixteen. In

1350
01:13:47,800 --> 01:13:52,040
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen he had twenty four catches, and in twenty

1351
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:56,200
Speaker 1: eighteen he had fifteen catches. So you're really looking at

1352
01:13:56,880 --> 01:14:00,439
Speaker 1: two years where he played a full year of football

1353
01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:03,680
Speaker 1: at a tight end position, and now he's been in

1354
01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:06,559
Speaker 1: his He wasn't his first year in the NFL last year,

1355
01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 1: so that's basically your third year of experience at this position.

1356
01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:15,280
Speaker 1: And he had twenty eight receptions for three hundred and

1357
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:18,360
Speaker 1: eighty eight yards and was number three in the NFL

1358
01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:22,120
Speaker 1: in yards per reception. I think that shows a lot

1359
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:25,400
Speaker 1: of promise for what he can do in the NFL.

1360
01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:27,000
Speaker 1: And when you look at those stats that you're just

1361
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:30,840
Speaker 1: pointing out of these really great tight ends in the

1362
01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:34,240
Speaker 1: league from their rookie year and how they went into

1363
01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:36,240
Speaker 1: their second year, and you kind of look at their

1364
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:39,680
Speaker 1: stats and compare the two years, and some of them

1365
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:41,960
Speaker 1: are are night and day. I mean, Gronk is an

1366
01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:45,240
Speaker 1: amazing tight end. And he had forty two receptions five

1367
01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:48,080
Speaker 1: hundred forty sixty yards in his rookie year. Well, the

1368
01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:52,599
Speaker 1: next year he had eighty five receptions for let's see,

1369
01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:55,559
Speaker 1: where's the stat he had not eighty five, he had

1370
01:14:56,200 --> 01:15:01,679
Speaker 1: like one hundred receptions for like third hundred receiving yards

1371
01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:04,639
Speaker 1: in his second year in the league. Yeah, one hundred,

1372
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:09,840
Speaker 1: twenty four receptions for thirteen hundred receiving yards, seventeen touchdowns,

1373
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:13,360
Speaker 1: average fourteen point seven yards per reception. That was his

1374
01:15:13,479 --> 01:15:17,360
Speaker 1: second year in the NFL. So's that's huge going for

1375
01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:21,439
Speaker 1: five hundred and forty something receiving yards to thirteen hundred

1376
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:24,880
Speaker 1: receiving yards in the matter of a year. I don't

1377
01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:27,160
Speaker 1: know if Dawson Knox is going to play that big

1378
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 1: of a role on this team this year, but I

1379
01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:33,080
Speaker 1: think he can have a more productive season and I

1380
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:35,880
Speaker 1: think he has shown promise and I don't think he's

1381
01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:38,720
Speaker 1: going to have ten drops. He went into the off

1382
01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:42,080
Speaker 1: season really pissed off about those drops and wanting to

1383
01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:44,439
Speaker 1: fix that. I remember talking to him on locker clean

1384
01:15:44,479 --> 01:15:46,800
Speaker 1: out day and that is something that he wanted to

1385
01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:51,439
Speaker 1: address right away and fix. And you can see he's

1386
01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:55,120
Speaker 1: been doing that by getting to practice with guys like

1387
01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:58,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and Matt Barkley and Florida for a weekend,

1388
01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:03,040
Speaker 1: right And that's easy to see two why and you think, Wow,

1389
01:16:03,360 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 1: he might have gotten off to even a slower start

1390
01:16:06,479 --> 01:16:08,439
Speaker 1: given what you're just said. He he didn't play tight end.

1391
01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:10,120
Speaker 1: He's only played two four years of football at the

1392
01:16:10,160 --> 01:16:13,640
Speaker 1: position before coming into the pros. But here's the thing.

1393
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:18,000
Speaker 1: Not only did he make the Buffalo Bill's roster, he

1394
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:23,280
Speaker 1: started as a rookie on a playoff team, had ten drops,

1395
01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:26,560
Speaker 1: which you can a company, you can attribute that to

1396
01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:30,080
Speaker 1: whatever you want. You'd like to see him get to

1397
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:33,719
Speaker 1: like two or three drops on the year or zero drops.

1398
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:35,560
Speaker 1: You'd love, But you know he kind of you know,

1399
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:38,559
Speaker 1: you think if he'd if he wouldn't have dropped those

1400
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:42,719
Speaker 1: ten balls. He has thirty eight receptions. That's a different

1401
01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:45,280
Speaker 1: year for him. But by the same token, when you

1402
01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:49,160
Speaker 1: talk about him not playing the position for two years,

1403
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:51,760
Speaker 1: really not having that many opportunities, didn't catch a ball

1404
01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:56,000
Speaker 1: a senior year, a touchdown his senior year, that's huge,

1405
01:16:56,080 --> 01:16:58,559
Speaker 1: and you'd think, wow, getting off to a fast start

1406
01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:02,280
Speaker 1: at that spot with John Brown, with Cole Beasley being

1407
01:17:02,320 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 1: a third option, being a rookie tight end, Actually you

1408
01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:07,840
Speaker 1: gotta think, wow, he's he may have something under the hood.

1409
01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:11,400
Speaker 1: Uh that got it. He he earned his spot. You

1410
01:17:11,479 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 1: know this too, The Bills make these guys earn their spot.

1411
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:17,280
Speaker 1: You think Tyler Croft came in he was he was

1412
01:17:17,360 --> 01:17:20,880
Speaker 1: hampered by an injury. Tommy Sweeney was playing a little

1413
01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 1: bit during the during the off season, because they didn't

1414
01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:26,320
Speaker 1: have any healthy bodies. Lee Smith was there, Uh, Jason

1415
01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 1: Crum was injured. He's on he was on IR for

1416
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:32,960
Speaker 1: the entire season. You think, Wow, Croft or a guy

1417
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:36,200
Speaker 1: like Knox, he should have had a slow start. And

1418
01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:39,280
Speaker 1: if in in Bill's Lord twenty eight catches for three

1419
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:41,880
Speaker 1: hundred eight yards, it's kind of an average tight end

1420
01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:45,080
Speaker 1: year for the guys we've seen in Buffalo. If he can,

1421
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:48,920
Speaker 1: and I hate it sounds easy to say, it's difficult.

1422
01:17:48,960 --> 01:17:51,920
Speaker 1: If he doubles that and it gets almost fifty care

1423
01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:55,320
Speaker 1: over fifty catches a year and cuts his drops down,

1424
01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:58,560
Speaker 1: you're talking about a more than solid year for a

1425
01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:00,960
Speaker 1: tight end, maybe as good a year as a tight

1426
01:18:01,080 --> 01:18:04,160
Speaker 1: end than any guy's ever had in Buffalo. If he gets,

1427
01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:06,400
Speaker 1: if he gets you know, seven hundred fifty or eight

1428
01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:09,760
Speaker 1: hundred yards, that's as good a tight end year as

1429
01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:12,519
Speaker 1: anybody's ever had in the history of the game for Buffalo.

1430
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:16,560
Speaker 1: So that's that seems well within his reach. You know,

1431
01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:21,120
Speaker 1: you go back in history, you know the nineteen sixty

1432
01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:24,080
Speaker 1: seven with seven hundred twenty six yards is Paul Costa

1433
01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:27,680
Speaker 1: is the guy who did it. Seven hundred twenty six

1434
01:18:27,840 --> 01:18:31,400
Speaker 1: yards is the best ever season for a tight end.

1435
01:18:32,400 --> 01:18:35,879
Speaker 1: I think Dawson Knox can eclipse that for sure, definitely.

1436
01:18:36,240 --> 01:18:41,240
Speaker 1: And then any s N released this article about tight

1437
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:46,960
Speaker 1: end groups and where they rank, and the Bills were

1438
01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:50,720
Speaker 1: number twenty eight. I think that's because, of course, you

1439
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:53,639
Speaker 1: look at Tyler Croft, who wasn't super healthy. Lee Smith

1440
01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:56,360
Speaker 1: is not a pass catching tight end. Really, he's a

1441
01:18:56,439 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 1: blocking tight end. Dawson Knox rookie season, had a good

1442
01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:03,040
Speaker 1: rookie season. Tommy Sweeney, I think did more than he

1443
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:05,200
Speaker 1: was asked. But you look at teams who are in

1444
01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:09,719
Speaker 1: the top five for tight end position, tight end group,

1445
01:19:09,760 --> 01:19:14,080
Speaker 1: tight end room. The Bucks number one with gronk oj Howard,

1446
01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:19,559
Speaker 1: Cameron Brait, Anthony o'claire. Number two was the Cleveland Browns

1447
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:23,400
Speaker 1: with Austin Hooper, David Joku, Harrison Bryant Farrell Brown. Number

1448
01:19:23,479 --> 01:19:27,160
Speaker 1: three the Kansas City Chiefs Travis Kelsey, Ricky Steels, Jones,

1449
01:19:27,520 --> 01:19:32,800
Speaker 1: Dion Yelder, John Lovett, four San Francisco forty nine ers.

1450
01:19:32,840 --> 01:19:35,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you could probably think about, okay,

1451
01:19:35,439 --> 01:19:38,720
Speaker 1: what teams have these really good tight ends and those

1452
01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:41,719
Speaker 1: are going to be your top ten tight end groups

1453
01:19:41,760 --> 01:19:44,840
Speaker 1: in the NFL, And it really only takes one guy,

1454
01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:52,040
Speaker 1: you know, Gronkowski, Austin Hooper, Travis Kelsey, George Kittle, zach Ertz,

1455
01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:55,720
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews. I look at tight end and yeah, it's

1456
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:59,880
Speaker 1: a room and there's four five guys on the ross,

1457
01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:03,519
Speaker 1: but you really look at only one person as being

1458
01:20:03,640 --> 01:20:07,800
Speaker 1: like your main dude in that room, right, and that's

1459
01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:10,920
Speaker 1: the guy I mean there. Certainly there's a bunch of

1460
01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:16,280
Speaker 1: personnel conversation combinations. You got twelve personnel, one back, two

1461
01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:18,920
Speaker 1: tight ends and a couple of you can do that. Certainly,

1462
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:21,920
Speaker 1: Lee Smith is a guy who jumps on the field

1463
01:20:22,120 --> 01:20:25,120
Speaker 1: in running downs in short yardage situations, not really a

1464
01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:28,439
Speaker 1: pass catcher. But you've got one tight end who's your

1465
01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:31,040
Speaker 1: centerpiece and the guy that in crucial downs he's going

1466
01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:32,479
Speaker 1: to be on the field. And he got him on

1467
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 1: the field because you can run or pass with him

1468
01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:38,160
Speaker 1: on there. Dawson Knox did a nice job of that. Certainly,

1469
01:20:38,240 --> 01:20:41,000
Speaker 1: he had a way that was probably the the you

1470
01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:43,439
Speaker 1: know you mentioned he didn't play that much tight end

1471
01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:47,439
Speaker 1: before this season and learning how to be an inline

1472
01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:50,120
Speaker 1: blocker in the National Football League and your rookie season

1473
01:20:50,640 --> 01:20:52,880
Speaker 1: while still being you know, asked to stay on in

1474
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:55,400
Speaker 1: passing downs. That's a big ask for a team, but

1475
01:20:55,520 --> 01:20:57,240
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox did it. I mean, he was the guy

1476
01:20:57,320 --> 01:20:59,720
Speaker 1: that stayed on the field all the time. And I

1477
01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:02,320
Speaker 1: think it says a lot about not only what he

1478
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:04,560
Speaker 1: was able to accomplish in the development and early in

1479
01:21:04,640 --> 01:21:08,160
Speaker 1: his career as a pro, but also his top end.

1480
01:21:08,760 --> 01:21:10,479
Speaker 1: I think there's more in there, and I think they're

1481
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:12,000
Speaker 1: going to try and find it this year. I think,

1482
01:21:12,120 --> 01:21:14,799
Speaker 1: certainly coming back this year, he's going to feel more comfortable.

1483
01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:16,960
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's going to see more comfortable, and I think

1484
01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:20,479
Speaker 1: Brian Dable will see him differently this year than he

1485
01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:23,160
Speaker 1: did a year ago. Yeah, and you look at the

1486
01:21:23,240 --> 01:21:27,000
Speaker 1: teams that were the most successful from last year who

1487
01:21:27,080 --> 01:21:28,640
Speaker 1: made it to the Super Bowl at the Chiefs and

1488
01:21:28,680 --> 01:21:31,799
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers. What tight ends were on those teams.

1489
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:35,840
Speaker 1: George Kittle and Travis Kelsey, Baltimore Ravens were really good.

1490
01:21:36,160 --> 01:21:39,160
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews was on that team. He had ten touchdowns

1491
01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:45,599
Speaker 1: as a tight end. That's crazy. Who else? I mean,

1492
01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:49,880
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper's now on the Browns. But you're right that

1493
01:21:50,439 --> 01:21:53,040
Speaker 1: those teams with two of them like like well, like

1494
01:21:53,400 --> 01:21:56,040
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers. I mean They've got oh J. Howard, who

1495
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:58,880
Speaker 1: is a big, physical freak and the big top number

1496
01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:02,560
Speaker 1: one draft pick for one season. He's got an unbelievable measurables.

1497
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:06,080
Speaker 1: He's fast, he's big, he's strong. And then of course Gronkowski,

1498
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:08,800
Speaker 1: who's already put together what could be a Hall of

1499
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:11,240
Speaker 1: Fame career. So you get two of those guys and

1500
01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:13,639
Speaker 1: that makes you number one, but you go down even

1501
01:22:13,720 --> 01:22:16,679
Speaker 1: in the top ten. The Chargers have got Hunter Henry,

1502
01:22:17,120 --> 01:22:20,479
Speaker 1: Virgil Green, Steven Anderson, and Andrew Vollard. A lot of Bills.

1503
01:22:20,720 --> 01:22:23,400
Speaker 1: I know, Hunter Henry, those other three guys, I don't know.

1504
01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:27,840
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears have got Jimmy Graham and three other guys

1505
01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:32,840
Speaker 1: Cole Commet, Demetrius Harris, and Adam Shaheen. Yeah, you know,

1506
01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:37,200
Speaker 1: one good guy and some other guys is what it

1507
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:38,960
Speaker 1: takes to get into the coach to the top ten

1508
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:42,280
Speaker 1: and tight end groups. But you need a guy that

1509
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:46,000
Speaker 1: when you say this guy's name, teams are gonna be like, wow,

1510
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:47,760
Speaker 1: we gotta have a guy. Find out where he is

1511
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:49,800
Speaker 1: in the in the in this lineup, you know, is

1512
01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:52,519
Speaker 1: he on the field that changes our defensive call. The

1513
01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:56,080
Speaker 1: Bills with Dawson Knox could get there, but there's a

1514
01:22:56,160 --> 01:22:57,960
Speaker 1: lot to prove, I mean, and that that's basically what

1515
01:22:58,040 --> 01:23:02,519
Speaker 1: we're saying, right, Maddie, I mean the Aston Knox, Sween,

1516
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:06,040
Speaker 1: Tyler Croft. They've got some things to prove, and I

1517
01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:09,200
Speaker 1: think people are waiting on that to happen. Correct, correct,

1518
01:23:09,360 --> 01:23:13,240
Speaker 1: And I mean Krum should be healthy this year, hopefully

1519
01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:16,360
Speaker 1: he is. He's somebody who can also add to that room.

1520
01:23:16,479 --> 01:23:18,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna be a fight also to make

1521
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:23,400
Speaker 1: that roster for the tight ends, right, exactly exactly, Steve Tasker,

1522
01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:25,400
Speaker 1: Matti Glab. We're here till three o'clock. Coming up at

1523
01:23:25,439 --> 01:23:28,519
Speaker 1: the top of the hour, Arthur Moats from Pittsburgh Nation.

1524
01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:30,920
Speaker 1: He's coming up after at the top of the hour,

1525
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:33,760
Speaker 1: we'll be back One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health.

1526
01:23:33,800 --> 01:23:44,439
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back to One Bill's Live.

1527
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:47,559
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker, Matti Glab. We have got a Twitter poll going.

1528
01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:51,120
Speaker 1: We're getting all kinds of feedback on it's who's gonna

1529
01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:53,880
Speaker 1: be the X factor in the Buffalo Bills in twenty twenty.

1530
01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:57,800
Speaker 1: We've given you a couple of choices, and Dawson Knox

1531
01:23:57,880 --> 01:24:00,559
Speaker 1: has forty five percent of the vote. Zach Moss has

1532
01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:03,920
Speaker 1: thirty percent of the vote, Josh Norman thirteen percent of

1533
01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:07,000
Speaker 1: the voteing ten percent or eleven a percent. Have something

1534
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:09,280
Speaker 1: else in mind, Mattie, We've got a tweet sheet coming.

1535
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:12,080
Speaker 1: Let's just let's read one more from the tweet sheet,

1536
01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:16,719
Speaker 1: brought to you by Corgan Moving Systems, the official equipment

1537
01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:21,519
Speaker 1: moving of the Buffalo Bills. So Chris says, everybody is

1538
01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:24,240
Speaker 1: so high on Knox, but don't realize Norman has the

1539
01:24:24,320 --> 01:24:27,360
Speaker 1: best years of his career under McDermott and generally has

1540
01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:30,240
Speaker 1: wide receiver two matchups. I think he has one of

1541
01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:35,280
Speaker 1: the best years of his career statistically pretty good. Take there.

1542
01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:40,240
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be nice? I mean that's you think about

1543
01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:43,040
Speaker 1: how much that would change the defense, having a guy

1544
01:24:43,120 --> 01:24:45,360
Speaker 1: that could lock down the number two wide out and

1545
01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:48,040
Speaker 1: given the quarterback no place to throw, the sacks would

1546
01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:51,960
Speaker 1: be at, perhaps the turnovers would go way up. It's

1547
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:55,920
Speaker 1: been a real That would be a real gift, and

1548
01:24:56,040 --> 01:24:58,920
Speaker 1: I think too. The question is no question that he

1549
01:24:59,160 --> 01:25:01,800
Speaker 1: had some fun nominal years with Sean McDermott as his

1550
01:25:01,840 --> 01:25:04,760
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator in Carolina. It's that that's what led him

1551
01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:08,519
Speaker 1: to sign the home run financial deal with the Washington Redskins.

1552
01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:11,479
Speaker 1: Two things coming back here to Buffalo signing with the league,

1553
01:25:11,560 --> 01:25:13,800
Speaker 1: one signing with the Bills. One, he's getting back into

1554
01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:16,280
Speaker 1: the system that made him that famous and made him

1555
01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:18,879
Speaker 1: that great player, that gave him the opportunity to showcase

1556
01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:22,800
Speaker 1: his skills. And two, it went so bad in Washington

1557
01:25:22,880 --> 01:25:25,599
Speaker 1: over the last two years. He was disinterested. The team

1558
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:27,200
Speaker 1: was a wreck. It was a little bit of a

1559
01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:28,920
Speaker 1: I get the feeling. It was a little bit of

1560
01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:32,640
Speaker 1: a toxic work environment, change and head coach, all of

1561
01:25:32,720 --> 01:25:37,519
Speaker 1: that stuff going on. And that gives a player chip

1562
01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:39,720
Speaker 1: on his shoulder when he was that good for so

1563
01:25:39,960 --> 01:25:42,320
Speaker 1: long to come back and then been be ridiculed or

1564
01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:45,360
Speaker 1: be on a bad team and take and take some

1565
01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:49,599
Speaker 1: deserved level of responsibility for the downturn and the team's

1566
01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:52,400
Speaker 1: fortunes because you are one of the highest paid players.

1567
01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:54,800
Speaker 1: He didn't have a chip on his shoulder. So you

1568
01:25:54,880 --> 01:25:57,240
Speaker 1: get the Bills, get a guy who has excelled in

1569
01:25:57,280 --> 01:26:00,320
Speaker 1: this system and it was something to prove. And I

1570
01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:03,719
Speaker 1: think that's been one of the overriding characteristics of guys

1571
01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:07,839
Speaker 1: the Bills have signed in recent years. Short current contracts

1572
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:09,960
Speaker 1: with a chance to hit a home run, like a

1573
01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:12,719
Speaker 1: prove it deal or with a chip on their shoulder

1574
01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:14,439
Speaker 1: with something to prove. And I think that's been a

1575
01:26:14,479 --> 01:26:16,560
Speaker 1: great place for the Bills roster to be in a

1576
01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:19,479
Speaker 1: lot of places. Yes, so many of these guys have

1577
01:26:19,640 --> 01:26:22,120
Speaker 1: had proved deals and have done just that. And it's

1578
01:26:22,160 --> 01:26:25,400
Speaker 1: so smart on Brandon being to write contracts like that.

1579
01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:28,160
Speaker 1: And I think if you ask every single player in

1580
01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:30,040
Speaker 1: the locker room if they have a chip on their shoulder,

1581
01:26:30,160 --> 01:26:33,600
Speaker 1: everybody would say yes. This is a team full of

1582
01:26:33,760 --> 01:26:37,000
Speaker 1: players with chips on their shoulders, full of players who

1583
01:26:37,040 --> 01:26:39,960
Speaker 1: have been doubted, full of players wanting to prove themselves

1584
01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:45,920
Speaker 1: not only for their own liking, but for the team too.

1585
01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:49,640
Speaker 1: This team wants to be able to be known for

1586
01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:52,800
Speaker 1: a Buffalo Bills team that's successful and can make it

1587
01:26:52,880 --> 01:26:55,479
Speaker 1: into the playoffs and can go deep in the playoffs

1588
01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:58,680
Speaker 1: and maybe make a run for the Super Bowl. I mean,

1589
01:26:58,760 --> 01:27:00,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot to prove with in that locker room

1590
01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:04,320
Speaker 1: and I love that because those guys are nasty when

1591
01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:08,000
Speaker 1: they get into the field. Steve Tasker, Maddie glaber Hill

1592

1594
01:27:15,160 --> 01:27:17,360

1595
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:21,160
Speaker 1: there once again on the Bills schedule this year. It

1596
01:27:21,160 --> 01:27:24,000
Speaker 1: seems like we've seen them for the last handful of years.

1597
01:27:24,040 --> 01:27:26,760
Speaker 1: They've been making the stops with the Pittsburgh Steelers and

1598
01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:29,559
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills over the last few years. We'll see

1599
01:27:29,640 --> 01:27:33,280

Speaker 1: our guests are there. How are you doing during the pandemic?

1626

01:29:14,720 --> 01:29:17,000
Speaker 1: Has it been bad? Is there some silver linings? What

1628
01:29:17,120 --> 01:29:18,760

1629
01:29:18,840 --> 01:29:22,920
Speaker 1: doing in that? Man? It's been a unique time for me, man,

1630
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:25,640
Speaker 1: but ultimately I've been making the most of it. You know,

1631
01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:28,280
Speaker 1: just focusing more so on my family, being able to

1632
01:29:28,320 --> 01:29:30,759
Speaker 1: spend more time with them, my wife and children. Obviously

1633
01:29:31,240 --> 01:29:33,880
Speaker 1: anybody to follow me. Last year during the season got

1634
01:29:34,200 --> 01:29:37,439
Speaker 1: crazy dizzy for me. So this time of year, man,

1635
01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:39,800
Speaker 1: I was able to just give back to them be

1636
01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:42,280
Speaker 1: around them so much more and I definitely appreciate it.

1637
01:29:44,320 --> 01:29:47,240
Speaker 1: You have a book out, Theory of your Life's book

1638
01:29:47,320 --> 01:29:49,200
Speaker 1: Most Theory of Life. Can you tell me what it's

1639
01:29:49,240 --> 01:29:52,240
Speaker 1: about and maybe how people can use this book during

1640
01:29:52,320 --> 01:29:55,479
Speaker 1: this time where the world is experiencing a lot, whether

1641
01:29:55,560 --> 01:29:59,599
Speaker 1: it's COVID or whether it's the killing of George Floyd

1642
01:29:59,680 --> 01:30:02,320
Speaker 1: that we whole witness and the protests to follow in

1643
01:30:02,400 --> 01:30:06,479
Speaker 1: this season of racial inequality and injustice, that is really

1644
01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:10,920
Speaker 1: being at the forefront of a lot of conversations right

1645
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:14,880
Speaker 1: now and hopes to end police brutality and racial injustice

1646
01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:18,160
Speaker 1: in this world that we live in. Yeah, I'm definitely

1647
01:30:18,200 --> 01:30:20,559
Speaker 1: glad you asked me about that. So with my book,

1648
01:30:20,600 --> 01:30:23,120
Speaker 1: The Most Theory of Life, it's a god helping people

1649
01:30:23,200 --> 01:30:27,160
Speaker 1: become the first off, more inspiration, but more impactful. And

1650
01:30:27,560 --> 01:30:30,600
Speaker 1: I share some stories where I personally experience some of

1651
01:30:30,720 --> 01:30:33,479
Speaker 1: the police brutality and things along that nature and ultimately

1652
01:30:33,600 --> 01:30:35,840
Speaker 1: the ways that we handled it as a family. And

1653
01:30:36,479 --> 01:30:39,120
Speaker 1: the biggest thing with the book, Man, It's all about,

1654
01:30:39,160 --> 01:30:41,600
Speaker 1: is the power of the mind, that positive thinking, that

1655
01:30:41,800 --> 01:30:46,160
Speaker 1: understanding that regardless of the situation and circumstances, control which

1656
01:30:46,160 --> 01:30:49,439
Speaker 1: you can control and make every situation a positive situation

1657
01:30:49,560 --> 01:30:51,559
Speaker 1: for you. And I go through some of the different

1658
01:30:51,600 --> 01:30:53,920
Speaker 1: techniques that I've used through my life to help me

1659
01:30:54,040 --> 01:30:56,600
Speaker 1: be successful in that regard. So I think, Man, in

1660
01:30:56,800 --> 01:30:59,720
Speaker 1: terms of everything that's been going on with the world,

1661
01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:03,120
Speaker 1: where the year feeling unease about the COVID nineteen situation,

1662
01:31:03,320 --> 01:31:06,040
Speaker 1: or you're frustrated about the social injustice and things like that,

1663
01:31:06,640 --> 01:31:10,240
Speaker 1: this book can help you mentally through all of those situations.

1664
01:31:11,880 --> 01:31:14,280
Speaker 1: Or can you walk us through me if you feel comfortable.

1665
01:31:15,040 --> 01:31:18,160
Speaker 1: Do you feel comfortable sharing with us your instance where

1666
01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:20,360
Speaker 1: you had a run in with the police and it

1667
01:31:20,400 --> 01:31:22,960
Speaker 1: didn't go well, or some police brutality or something that

1668
01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:24,960
Speaker 1: was that happened to you that really didn't need to

1669
01:31:25,200 --> 01:31:28,760
Speaker 1: some injustice. Yeah, I mean, for me, I can tell

1670
01:31:28,760 --> 01:31:31,920
Speaker 1: you this a light story is when I was probably

1671
01:31:31,960 --> 01:31:34,559
Speaker 1: eight nine years old, maybe my father and my mother

1672
01:31:34,680 --> 01:31:36,280
Speaker 1: was sitting on our front porch in our inner city

1673
01:31:36,320 --> 01:31:39,439
Speaker 1: neighborhood in Norfolk at the time. A gentleman is running

1674
01:31:39,439 --> 01:31:42,599
Speaker 1: down the street and the police officers. Two police officers

1675
01:31:42,680 --> 01:31:45,240
Speaker 1: follow after him, but the one officer who wasn't a

1676
01:31:45,280 --> 01:31:48,720
Speaker 1: minority was a white officer. He assumed that this guy

1677
01:31:48,840 --> 01:31:51,840
Speaker 1: ran into my father's house, so he proceeds to come

1678
01:31:51,880 --> 01:31:54,160
Speaker 1: on the porch and my father, Jeff got off the

1679
01:31:54,200 --> 01:31:56,720
Speaker 1: Marine Corps thirteen year vet. He was a pastor at

1680
01:31:56,720 --> 01:31:59,880
Speaker 1: the time as well, and this police officer begins to

1681
01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:03,120
Speaker 1: just verbally abuse him, Kurson, call him every which name

1682
01:32:03,160 --> 01:32:05,080
Speaker 1: you could think of in front of me, in front

1683
01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:07,559
Speaker 1: of my mother and my father as a very proud

1684
01:32:07,800 --> 01:32:10,760
Speaker 1: marine and like I said, husband and everything like that.

1685
01:32:11,320 --> 01:32:15,400
Speaker 1: He has to just take this in the sense where, hey,

1686
01:32:15,680 --> 01:32:18,120
Speaker 1: a traditional situation would be, hey, let me stand up

1687
01:32:18,120 --> 01:32:20,000
Speaker 1: for myself, let me say something back to this guy.

1688
01:32:20,479 --> 01:32:23,280
Speaker 1: And we all know how that situation could have potentially

1689
01:32:23,320 --> 01:32:26,360
Speaker 1: played out and ended. But ultimately my father understood how

1690
01:32:26,400 --> 01:32:29,800
Speaker 1: to use the situation and took the guy's bag number

1691
01:32:29,840 --> 01:32:32,280
Speaker 1: and went that role. But I think to myself, man,

1692
01:32:32,360 --> 01:32:34,680
Speaker 1: how easily that situation right there could have went a

1693
01:32:34,760 --> 01:32:37,600
Speaker 1: totally different direction if my father just reacted as a

1694
01:32:37,720 --> 01:32:40,560
Speaker 1: normal person would be when being disrespected in front of

1695
01:32:40,640 --> 01:32:43,120
Speaker 1: his children, in front of his wife in his house.

1696
01:32:43,720 --> 01:32:46,799
Speaker 1: So that was just one instant, early one that changed

1697
01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:49,439
Speaker 1: my perspective, and then from there as numerous other situations

1698
01:32:49,479 --> 01:32:52,639
Speaker 1: that have transforred to me personally as well that have happened.

1699
01:32:55,240 --> 01:32:58,000
Speaker 1: In your book Moot Theory of Life. I want to

1700
01:32:58,040 --> 01:33:00,559
Speaker 1: ask you about some of you talked about some things

1701
01:33:00,600 --> 01:33:03,240
Speaker 1: that you put in the book that has really helped

1702
01:33:03,320 --> 01:33:05,639
Speaker 1: you get through life. Whether it's being in the NFL,

1703
01:33:06,120 --> 01:33:08,600
Speaker 1: or whether it's just situations that you deal with the

1704
01:33:08,760 --> 01:33:11,920
Speaker 1: ups and downs of life and what life throws at you.

1705
01:33:12,360 --> 01:33:15,560
Speaker 1: What are some of those things in your book that

1706
01:33:15,680 --> 01:33:18,599
Speaker 1: you can point to that have really helped you, whether

1707
01:33:18,720 --> 01:33:22,080
Speaker 1: it's positive thinking or tactics that you have used. What

1708
01:33:22,200 --> 01:33:26,040
Speaker 1: are some of your favorite ones? Yeah, man, so off

1709
01:33:26,080 --> 01:33:28,080
Speaker 1: the top of my head, the one that sticks out

1710
01:33:28,120 --> 01:33:30,200
Speaker 1: to me the most is just being open and honest.

1711
01:33:30,400 --> 01:33:34,200
Speaker 1: I talk about how when you are more open and transparent,

1712
01:33:34,520 --> 01:33:36,799
Speaker 1: how that can lead to you being a stronger individual.

1713
01:33:36,800 --> 01:33:39,560
Speaker 1: A lot of times, especially as men, we always like

1714
01:33:39,680 --> 01:33:42,000
Speaker 1: to operate with the assumption that everything gets fine. We're

1715
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:45,760
Speaker 1: always perfectly put on this bravado, this machismo. But a

1716
01:33:45,840 --> 01:33:49,000
Speaker 1: lot of us, just like everyone else, deals with things.

1717
01:33:49,439 --> 01:33:51,639
Speaker 1: We have datas a word, and that we have things

1718
01:33:51,680 --> 01:33:53,559
Speaker 1: that make us sad. We have things that make us

1719
01:33:53,600 --> 01:33:56,920
Speaker 1: feel worried. And instead of trying to suppress that or

1720
01:33:57,040 --> 01:34:00,360
Speaker 1: hide that by telling everybody that we're fine, open up

1721
01:34:00,400 --> 01:34:03,080
Speaker 1: about these things. Talk to your significant other, whether you're

1722
01:34:03,080 --> 01:34:06,680
Speaker 1: you're married, or whatever your situation may be, communicate that

1723
01:34:06,800 --> 01:34:10,040
Speaker 1: with that person. It's okay to go see therapists as well,

1724
01:34:10,439 --> 01:34:12,519
Speaker 1: because those are ultimately things are going to help you

1725
01:34:12,760 --> 01:34:15,840
Speaker 1: mentally get in a better space. And by you communicating

1726
01:34:16,720 --> 01:34:19,840
Speaker 1: these situations, by you talking about what it is that

1727
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:22,200
Speaker 1: may make you feel uneasy or things like that, not

1728
01:34:22,360 --> 01:34:24,320
Speaker 1: only are you going to improve from that, but the

1729
01:34:24,439 --> 01:34:27,280
Speaker 1: person that you're communicating with, they're going to grow from

1730
01:34:27,320 --> 01:34:29,760
Speaker 1: that as well. And you're understanding and bond for each other,

1731
01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:32,920
Speaker 1: we'll can see you to improve as well. We're talking

1732
01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:35,880
Speaker 1: with Arthur Moats on the Line, NFL linebacker for eight years.

1733
01:34:35,920 --> 01:34:39,320
Speaker 1: He hosts Steelers Nation Radio. Also, I want to ask

1734
01:34:39,360 --> 01:34:41,200
Speaker 1: you as well. You let your support to the letter,

1735
01:34:41,240 --> 01:34:44,680
Speaker 1: the Player's Coalition letter to Congress, as did I didn't you?

1736
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:47,040
Speaker 1: What is the desired can you share with our listeners

1737
01:34:47,120 --> 01:34:51,559
Speaker 1: the desired result of a bunch of current day players

1738
01:34:51,600 --> 01:34:55,400
Speaker 1: and former players formulating a letter to Congress. Could you

1739
01:34:55,479 --> 01:35:00,639
Speaker 1: share with our listeners what the desired effect will be. Yeah,

1740
01:35:00,680 --> 01:35:03,400
Speaker 1: for me, man, I wanted to first show the unification

1741
01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:07,880
Speaker 1: amongst all sports, all sports films, because we saw it

1742
01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:10,719
Speaker 1: wasn't just NFL players, It wasn't just current and retire

1743
01:35:10,800 --> 01:35:14,120
Speaker 1: NFL guys. You saw NBA players, you saw NBA executives,

1744
01:35:14,120 --> 01:35:17,799
Speaker 1: you saw MLB executives. I think it's important as athletes

1745
01:35:18,080 --> 01:35:20,880
Speaker 1: to unify and use our voice and use our platform,

1746
01:35:21,240 --> 01:35:24,160
Speaker 1: and the letter, the letter from the Players Coalition, that's

1747
01:35:24,200 --> 01:35:26,680
Speaker 1: what it's about. That's what it does. It signifies that

1748
01:35:26,760 --> 01:35:29,120
Speaker 1: we're more than just athletes. We're not going to just

1749
01:35:29,280 --> 01:35:31,680
Speaker 1: be quiet and just stick to our sports anymore. I

1750
01:35:31,760 --> 01:35:35,360
Speaker 1: think it's important that we continue to keep conversations going

1751
01:35:35,479 --> 01:35:38,840
Speaker 1: when it comes to social injustice and ultimately people just

1752
01:35:39,000 --> 01:35:42,240
Speaker 1: not being treated right and fairly, regardless of if you're

1753
01:35:42,240 --> 01:35:44,760
Speaker 1: a minority or not. I think it's important that we

1754
01:35:44,960 --> 01:35:47,880
Speaker 1: unify together and we use our voice collectively to show that, hey,

1755
01:35:48,200 --> 01:35:50,799
Speaker 1: we are some of the most influential people in the country,

1756
01:35:51,080 --> 01:35:53,280
Speaker 1: and if we all stick together, and we all lend

1757
01:35:53,320 --> 01:35:55,640
Speaker 1: our services to the same common goal, we can accomplish

1758
01:35:55,680 --> 01:35:59,479
Speaker 1: great things. Yeah, I want to stick on what you

1759
01:35:59,600 --> 01:36:02,240
Speaker 1: just said there. I think we're in a time where

1760
01:36:02,320 --> 01:36:04,720
Speaker 1: you're seeing a lot of athletes speak out and say

1761
01:36:04,800 --> 01:36:06,560
Speaker 1: this is what is wrong with the world, and I

1762
01:36:06,680 --> 01:36:09,200
Speaker 1: want to play a part in changing this. But you

1763
01:36:09,320 --> 01:36:11,719
Speaker 1: hear a lot of people on Twitter, you know, chirt

1764
01:36:11,840 --> 01:36:15,120
Speaker 1: back and say stick to stick to sports, not politics.

1765
01:36:15,600 --> 01:36:18,040
Speaker 1: Why is it important as an athlete to use your

1766
01:36:18,120 --> 01:36:20,640
Speaker 1: platform to not just stick to sports and a time

1767
01:36:20,680 --> 01:36:26,559
Speaker 1: where it's so important to help this world change for better. Yeah,

1768
01:36:26,720 --> 01:36:29,200
Speaker 1: I think the people that say stick to sports don't

1769
01:36:29,280 --> 01:36:31,439
Speaker 1: don't get into politics. I think they're ignorant in the

1770
01:36:31,520 --> 01:36:35,280
Speaker 1: sense that when we're talking about human life, when we're

1771
01:36:35,320 --> 01:36:38,719
Speaker 1: talking about right versus wrong, that's not a political debate.

1772
01:36:38,960 --> 01:36:42,839
Speaker 1: When we're talking about somebody being wrongfully killed, that's not political.

1773
01:36:43,120 --> 01:36:46,320
Speaker 1: That's human. That's that's do you care about life? Do

1774
01:36:46,439 --> 01:36:49,680
Speaker 1: you care about somebody else in that regard? So for me,

1775
01:36:51,280 --> 01:36:54,439
Speaker 1: when what a person says this don't bring politics into this,

1776
01:36:54,840 --> 01:36:57,760
Speaker 1: it lets me know that they're personally not qualified to

1777
01:36:57,920 --> 01:37:01,200
Speaker 1: be even in this conversation because that's after the same concept.

1778
01:37:01,240 --> 01:37:05,280
Speaker 1: When we're talking politics, that's a totally different avenue. But

1779
01:37:05,560 --> 01:37:09,080
Speaker 1: what we're trying to do right now is save lots.

1780
01:37:09,280 --> 01:37:12,160
Speaker 1: We're trying to bring a quality of life that's going

1781
01:37:12,240 --> 01:37:15,599
Speaker 1: to be pleasing for all parties involved, not just one person,

1782
01:37:15,720 --> 01:37:18,759
Speaker 1: not just one demographic. So I think that's the biggest

1783
01:37:18,840 --> 01:37:21,639
Speaker 1: reason why you're seeing so many guys speaking on right now,

1784
01:37:22,200 --> 01:37:23,920
Speaker 1: and I think that it is going to continue as well.

1785
01:37:25,320 --> 01:37:27,519
Speaker 1: We're talking to Arthur mos eight year veteran of the

1786
01:37:27,600 --> 01:37:30,559
Speaker 1: National Football League. He hosts Steelers Nation Radio and he's

1787
01:37:30,600 --> 01:37:33,400
Speaker 1: also the author of the book Motes Theory of Life. Arthur,

1788
01:37:33,560 --> 01:37:36,000
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you as well about a guy that

1789
01:37:36,120 --> 01:37:39,360
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills signed from the Pittsburgh Steelers. His name's

1790
01:37:39,400 --> 01:37:43,160
Speaker 1: Tyler Metakevich. What are the Bills getting he's a special

1791
01:37:43,200 --> 01:37:45,160
Speaker 1: teams guy. What are the what kind of guy is he?

1792
01:37:45,280 --> 01:37:49,759
Speaker 1: What are the Bills getting in Tyler Medakevitch. Listen, Tyler

1793
01:37:50,080 --> 01:37:53,679
Speaker 1: is my guy? Love that guy? Man? We're talking about Tyler.

1794
01:37:53,840 --> 01:37:55,760
Speaker 1: First off, you're getting a guy who was I mean

1795
01:37:55,960 --> 01:37:58,800
Speaker 1: highly decorated coming out of Temple. I mean, he's an

1796
01:37:58,960 --> 01:38:01,360
Speaker 1: extremely productive player. When you talk about what he's done

1797
01:38:01,360 --> 01:38:04,400
Speaker 1: on special teams. I mean every year he's a double

1798
01:38:04,520 --> 01:38:07,679
Speaker 1: digit special teams tackler. I mean that's when you're talking

1799
01:38:07,720 --> 01:38:11,240
Speaker 1: about double this, you know you're so Steve. That's rare

1800
01:38:11,360 --> 01:38:13,280
Speaker 1: aired Not a lot of people are getting double digit

1801
01:38:13,320 --> 01:38:16,080
Speaker 1: tackles on special team. He's a core four guy's gonna

1802
01:38:16,120 --> 01:38:19,040
Speaker 1: be able to play on on kickoff, kickoff return, punt,

1803
01:38:19,080 --> 01:38:21,720
Speaker 1: punt return. He's gonna be your leader of that group

1804
01:38:21,760 --> 01:38:24,439
Speaker 1: and ultimately make that group one of the best in

1805
01:38:24,520 --> 01:38:26,120
Speaker 1: the league. That's what he brings to the table. But

1806
01:38:26,200 --> 01:38:29,880
Speaker 1: then also from a position group standpoint, he's extremely smart.

1807
01:38:29,960 --> 01:38:32,439
Speaker 1: He's gonna know the playbook. He's gonna know, hey, if

1808
01:38:32,479 --> 01:38:33,960
Speaker 1: you need me out here, these are the things I

1809
01:38:34,040 --> 01:38:37,000
Speaker 1: can do. And with the scheme that the Bills are

1810
01:38:37,080 --> 01:38:39,559
Speaker 1: running under Leslie Frazier, I think that he'll fit right

1811
01:38:39,640 --> 01:38:41,479
Speaker 1: in and still be able to be productive and help

1812
01:38:41,520 --> 01:38:44,360
Speaker 1: out when he's given those opportunities as well. So if

1813
01:38:44,400 --> 01:38:46,639
Speaker 1: your Bills, if you're if you're part of the Bills

1814
01:38:46,640 --> 01:38:50,040
Speaker 1: stand bases Bills, Matty, you are definitely excited about Tyler.

1815
01:38:51,960 --> 01:38:54,880
Speaker 1: One big storyline for the Steelers this year's is Big

1816
01:38:54,960 --> 01:38:57,760
Speaker 1: Ben's road to recovery. Uh. We saw a video that

1817
01:38:57,920 --> 01:39:01,519
Speaker 1: got release of him finally cutting his beard off because

1818
01:39:01,600 --> 01:39:05,320
Speaker 1: he felt like he could actually throw again. So how

1819
01:39:05,479 --> 01:39:09,360
Speaker 1: badly do the Steelers need Big Ben in twenty twenty

1820
01:39:09,600 --> 01:39:11,320
Speaker 1: to be able to be a team that can make

1821
01:39:11,360 --> 01:39:15,639
Speaker 1: it into the playoffs? Yeah? Man, I think the season

1822
01:39:16,160 --> 01:39:18,479
Speaker 1: is definitely gonna lie a lot on that. We saw

1823
01:39:18,600 --> 01:39:20,680
Speaker 1: last year the success that the Steelers had from a

1824
01:39:20,720 --> 01:39:24,679
Speaker 1: defensive standpoint, and we saw the shortcomings that we're happening

1825
01:39:24,720 --> 01:39:27,880
Speaker 1: from an offensive standpoint, in particular at the quarterback position. Now,

1826
01:39:27,960 --> 01:39:30,880
Speaker 1: when we're talking about the return of Big Ben, his

1827
01:39:31,080 --> 01:39:33,040
Speaker 1: health is going to be a huge element of it.

1828
01:39:33,240 --> 01:39:35,920
Speaker 1: I mean it's fair to assume that, yeah, he's gonna

1829
01:39:35,920 --> 01:39:38,320
Speaker 1: take a step back in some regard, just because when

1830
01:39:38,360 --> 01:39:40,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna be with thirty eight years old coming off

1831
01:39:40,320 --> 01:39:43,840
Speaker 1: a major elbow surgery, you're gonna have some residual with that.

1832
01:39:44,000 --> 01:39:46,760
Speaker 1: But the thing that I'm excited about, what the being

1833
01:39:46,880 --> 01:39:48,680
Speaker 1: that I feel still a nation is excited about it

1834
01:39:48,720 --> 01:39:52,839
Speaker 1: is from a mental standpoint. He knows the playbook inside

1835
01:39:52,880 --> 01:39:54,880
Speaker 1: and out, and he also is to the level where

1836
01:39:54,920 --> 01:39:57,439
Speaker 1: he knows defenses inside and out. So he's going to

1837
01:39:57,560 --> 01:39:59,720
Speaker 1: be able to get you and your offense into the

1838
01:39:59,840 --> 01:40:03,400
Speaker 1: right call from a pre snap standpoint. That's what Mason

1839
01:40:03,520 --> 01:40:06,240
Speaker 1: Rudolph and devilment Hodges weren't able to do last year.

1840
01:40:06,560 --> 01:40:09,519
Speaker 1: Last year, those guys went out there, whatever the call was,

1841
01:40:09,960 --> 01:40:12,320
Speaker 1: that's where they were going to run. So regardless of

1842
01:40:12,360 --> 01:40:15,120
Speaker 1: if you're facing a box said hey, this probably isn't

1843
01:40:15,160 --> 01:40:18,639
Speaker 1: the best call against, they weren't able to audible out

1844
01:40:18,680 --> 01:40:21,040
Speaker 1: of that. Whereas with Ben, he's gonna be able to

1845
01:40:21,120 --> 01:40:23,720
Speaker 1: look and say, well, you know what, I like this

1846
01:40:23,880 --> 01:40:26,439
Speaker 1: call for this defense, We're gonna switch to this. I

1847
01:40:26,560 --> 01:40:29,840
Speaker 1: think back to Payton Manning in twenty fifteen, and if

1848
01:40:29,880 --> 01:40:32,639
Speaker 1: this is worst case for beny man in the twenty

1849
01:40:32,720 --> 01:40:35,479
Speaker 1: fifteen we all said physically he took a large step back,

1850
01:40:35,760 --> 01:40:38,320
Speaker 1: but mentally he was still able to get those Broncos,

1851
01:40:38,400 --> 01:40:40,920
Speaker 1: that Bronco's office into the right call to make sure

1852
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:42,800
Speaker 1: they were serviceable, to make sure that they were still

1853
01:40:42,840 --> 01:40:45,760
Speaker 1: productive enough to be paired with that elite defense, and

1854
01:40:45,800 --> 01:40:47,639
Speaker 1: that ultimately how they were able to win the Super Bowl.

1855
01:40:47,920 --> 01:40:49,479
Speaker 1: So when I think of the Stills, I'm thinking in

1856
01:40:49,560 --> 01:40:52,320
Speaker 1: that same concept, and that's worst case scenario. Now, if

1857
01:40:52,360 --> 01:40:55,439
Speaker 1: Ben is healthy and he's at least you know when

1858
01:40:55,479 --> 01:40:59,439
Speaker 1: he was in twenty eighteen. Well, then now you're talking

1859
01:40:59,439 --> 01:41:03,360
Speaker 1: about something that could be even better for the Steelers offense. Yeah,

1860
01:41:03,439 --> 01:41:05,479
Speaker 1: you're talking about big big Ben, and you're right. I

1861
01:41:05,600 --> 01:41:07,960
Speaker 1: think his health is key to your success this season.

1862
01:41:08,040 --> 01:41:10,559
Speaker 1: You've got guys behind him, and we saw a couple

1863
01:41:10,600 --> 01:41:13,240
Speaker 1: of them last year. Ben big Ben himself has never

1864
01:41:13,360 --> 01:41:15,840
Speaker 1: lost to the Buffalo Bills, and that goes for last

1865
01:41:15,920 --> 01:41:18,200
Speaker 1: year when the Bills went into Pittsburgh and one because

1866
01:41:18,320 --> 01:41:21,200
Speaker 1: Big Ben was heard, he didn't play. You've got quarterbacks

1867
01:41:21,240 --> 01:41:24,839
Speaker 1: behind him, Paxson, Lynch, Duck, Dog, Duck, Hodges, Mason Rudolph.

1868
01:41:25,200 --> 01:41:27,800
Speaker 1: Who is the front runner to be the backup? And

1869
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:32,400
Speaker 1: is there anybody who you have confidence in, Arthur, who

1870
01:41:32,720 --> 01:41:36,320
Speaker 1: if Big Ben does stumble, this team can still win games.

1871
01:41:38,720 --> 01:41:41,559
Speaker 1: So the front runner in my in my personal opinion,

1872
01:41:41,560 --> 01:41:43,160
Speaker 1: I think it will be Mason Rudolph. I think he

1873
01:41:43,280 --> 01:41:45,880
Speaker 1: was the more polished of the quarterbacks that are backing

1874
01:41:46,240 --> 01:41:49,280
Speaker 1: then up. Obviously Duck with the quarterback that started when

1875
01:41:49,520 --> 01:41:52,920
Speaker 1: you guys came to Pittsburgh last year. And honestly, Duck

1876
01:41:53,040 --> 01:41:55,880
Speaker 1: had a stand a little run where he was helping

1877
01:41:55,960 --> 01:42:00,400
Speaker 1: winning games. But from just a skill a skill set standpoint,

1878
01:42:00,479 --> 01:42:04,280
Speaker 1: Mason has all the intangils that you would want, whereas

1879
01:42:04,360 --> 01:42:08,240
Speaker 1: dun he just physically doesn't have everything from a checking

1880
01:42:08,240 --> 01:42:11,320
Speaker 1: off the box standpoint. And then we're talking about Patson Lynch.

1881
01:42:11,360 --> 01:42:14,080
Speaker 1: Obviously he's a higher pedigree guy, being a former first rounder,

1882
01:42:14,439 --> 01:42:18,640
Speaker 1: but he hasn't shown the translation of the correlation to

1883
01:42:18,720 --> 01:42:21,760
Speaker 1: actually producing on the fields just yet. And honestly, this

1884
01:42:21,960 --> 01:42:25,080
Speaker 1: off season isn't helping him or Dutch out just because

1885
01:42:25,120 --> 01:42:27,200
Speaker 1: you're not able to have your traditional OTAs and get

1886
01:42:27,280 --> 01:42:30,519
Speaker 1: more familiar with the scheme with the offense and things

1887
01:42:30,600 --> 01:42:32,760
Speaker 1: like that. So I think because Mason has been in

1888
01:42:33,080 --> 01:42:36,400
Speaker 1: the offense a year longer than both of those players,

1889
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:39,000
Speaker 1: and obviously the last game that he played I think

1890
01:42:39,080 --> 01:42:40,880
Speaker 1: was against the Jets. Granted he got hurt, but he's

1891
01:42:40,920 --> 01:42:44,439
Speaker 1: still mentally and physically looked a lot better. I think

1892
01:42:44,520 --> 01:42:46,120
Speaker 1: he's going to be the frontrunner to be that number

1893
01:42:46,120 --> 01:42:50,280
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks. One new player on the Steelers this year

1894
01:42:50,400 --> 01:42:53,840
Speaker 1: is Eric Ebron. Bringing in a talented tight end like that,

1895
01:42:53,960 --> 01:42:57,760
Speaker 1: how do you think it can help the offense? Man?

1896
01:42:57,880 --> 01:43:01,120
Speaker 1: I think Eric Ebron coming into verg is gonna be huge.

1897
01:43:01,439 --> 01:43:03,920
Speaker 1: When you talk about quarterbacks man, some of their best

1898
01:43:03,960 --> 01:43:07,480
Speaker 1: friends are the tight ends because that's the mismatch. Traditionally,

1899
01:43:07,840 --> 01:43:09,800
Speaker 1: when you're looking on the football field, that's the part

1900
01:43:09,920 --> 01:43:12,280
Speaker 1: the player that stands out in terms of being too

1901
01:43:12,520 --> 01:43:16,960
Speaker 1: athletic for linebackers but too big for your safeties or

1902
01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:20,680
Speaker 1: your corners. So with Evemont, we saw where he's had

1903
01:43:20,760 --> 01:43:23,599
Speaker 1: what double digit touchdowns before in the season. We've seen

1904
01:43:23,680 --> 01:43:25,760
Speaker 1: when healthy, what he's tapable love, and it's gonna be

1905
01:43:25,840 --> 01:43:28,679
Speaker 1: the best quarterback that he's played with since Andrew Luck.

1906
01:43:28,960 --> 01:43:31,479
Speaker 1: So he has a lot of factors that are positive

1907
01:43:31,479 --> 01:43:33,800
Speaker 1: about him. Now, obviously you have to think about what

1908
01:43:33,920 --> 01:43:36,120
Speaker 1: he's had in terms of the drops and things along

1909
01:43:36,200 --> 01:43:38,559
Speaker 1: that nature as well. So that's gonna play a role

1910
01:43:38,880 --> 01:43:42,040
Speaker 1: in terms of test productivity. But ultimately on paper, right now,

1911
01:43:42,400 --> 01:43:45,479
Speaker 1: if you're a Stealer fan, you're excited about that. We're

1912
01:43:45,520 --> 01:43:48,759
Speaker 1: talking with the Arthur Motest, host of Steelers Nation Radio.

1913
01:43:49,880 --> 01:43:53,639
Speaker 1: You guys drafted Arthur a wide receiver in this last draft.

1914
01:43:53,720 --> 01:43:56,200
Speaker 1: I guess like most teams did because the draft was

1915
01:43:56,280 --> 01:43:58,840
Speaker 1: so deep and wide receivers. But you got a guy

1916
01:43:58,880 --> 01:44:01,559
Speaker 1: we were watching here and kind of tabbed in Buffalo

1917
01:44:01,840 --> 01:44:03,800
Speaker 1: as being a guy that might fit here with the

1918
01:44:03,840 --> 01:44:06,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, it was Chase Claypool out of Notre Dame.

1919
01:44:06,640 --> 01:44:10,520
Speaker 1: Big guy, ran a very fast forty time at the combine.

1920
01:44:10,880 --> 01:44:12,720
Speaker 1: What are his chances of making an impact on the

1921
01:44:12,760 --> 01:44:16,920
Speaker 1: Steelers this year and what are their expectations for him? Yeah,

1922
01:44:17,120 --> 01:44:20,000
Speaker 1: I think obviously the expectations for him this first year

1923
01:44:20,360 --> 01:44:22,920
Speaker 1: have to be tailored just because, like I was talking about,

1924
01:44:22,920 --> 01:44:25,280
Speaker 1: with the lack of OTAs, you have to assume that

1925
01:44:25,520 --> 01:44:28,479
Speaker 1: any rookie is gonna have a little bit of a

1926
01:44:28,640 --> 01:44:31,800
Speaker 1: longer learning curve in terms of being able to be impactful.

1927
01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:33,960
Speaker 1: But when you talk about a guy that's six four,

1928
01:44:34,080 --> 01:44:37,840
Speaker 1: runs four four and loves to block, super physical guy

1929
01:44:37,960 --> 01:44:39,840
Speaker 1: like you said, I mean up there in Buffalo, he

1930
01:44:39,880 --> 01:44:42,920
Speaker 1: could have been a major asset. Now, I think Chase

1931
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:45,000
Speaker 1: may he's definitely gonna have an impact just because this

1932
01:44:45,120 --> 01:44:48,479
Speaker 1: is gonna be the first big receiver that Ben has had,

1933
01:44:48,520 --> 01:44:51,400
Speaker 1: says Mark Tavis or even you go back to even

1934
01:44:51,600 --> 01:44:54,960
Speaker 1: Plactico as well. So for as Cil Nation, they're definitely

1935
01:44:55,000 --> 01:44:56,840
Speaker 1: excited about a Chase. I think he's definitely gonna have

1936
01:44:56,880 --> 01:44:59,080
Speaker 1: a huge impact. But when you're looking at the Bills

1937
01:44:59,120 --> 01:45:02,240
Speaker 1: also though they necessarily have to go and get a

1938
01:45:02,320 --> 01:45:04,320
Speaker 1: receiver because they were able to make that big time

1939
01:45:04,400 --> 01:45:06,880
Speaker 1: trade to get to find Digs, and we know that's

1940
01:45:06,880 --> 01:45:09,240
Speaker 1: a proven commodity, a guy who who has proven to

1941
01:45:09,280 --> 01:45:11,559
Speaker 1: be a noble war receiver year in a year out.

1942
01:45:13,680 --> 01:45:16,200
Speaker 1: The Steelers are known for their defense, of course, and

1943
01:45:16,240 --> 01:45:18,680
Speaker 1: I think one person who made their defense better the

1944
01:45:18,760 --> 01:45:21,600
Speaker 1: last season, whose Steelers Nation was pretty pumped about was

1945
01:45:21,640 --> 01:45:24,760
Speaker 1: the addition of Maka Fitzpatrick. It looked like the team

1946
01:45:24,840 --> 01:45:27,240
Speaker 1: took a turn for the better once he was added

1947
01:45:27,320 --> 01:45:29,800
Speaker 1: to the team. How well do you think he paid

1948
01:45:29,880 --> 01:45:32,960
Speaker 1: off last season and do you think there's a lot

1949
01:45:33,040 --> 01:45:35,719
Speaker 1: of promise for what he can do with this defense

1950
01:45:35,840 --> 01:45:41,920
Speaker 1: this season? Yeah? Man, the acquired of the acquisition of

1951
01:45:42,080 --> 01:45:45,560
Speaker 1: Mica Fitzpatrick definitely changed the Steelers defense from being a

1952
01:45:45,680 --> 01:45:48,240
Speaker 1: good defense to being an elite defense. When you look

1953
01:45:48,320 --> 01:45:50,200
Speaker 1: at the IFAC he was able to have just from

1954
01:45:50,240 --> 01:45:53,920
Speaker 1: a creating turnover standpoint, I mean with huge huge, I

1955
01:45:54,000 --> 01:45:56,960
Speaker 1: mean he also resorted, he was he impacted points, he

1956
01:45:57,080 --> 01:45:59,240
Speaker 1: scored with two touchdowns last year as well from a

1957
01:45:59,280 --> 01:46:01,560
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. So when you factor on

1958
01:46:01,640 --> 01:46:04,679
Speaker 1: all of those things with Minka, his impact is definitely

1959
01:46:04,680 --> 01:46:06,880
Speaker 1: gonna be fe And I think ultimately that's why the

1960
01:46:07,320 --> 01:46:10,000
Speaker 1: Stills defense is where it is now in terms of

1961
01:46:10,080 --> 01:46:12,760
Speaker 1: how his viewed from a national standpoint, just because of

1962
01:46:13,360 --> 01:46:16,600
Speaker 1: now you have another player at that third level that

1963
01:46:16,840 --> 01:46:22,200
Speaker 1: is extremely impactful. Arthur, the older you and I get,

1964
01:46:22,640 --> 01:46:25,839
Speaker 1: the more never amazes me. It never ceases to amaze

1965
01:46:25,880 --> 01:46:29,000
Speaker 1: me that when you talk about these guys all of

1966
01:46:29,040 --> 01:46:31,320
Speaker 1: a sudden, their veterans. T J. Watt seems like it

1967
01:46:31,400 --> 01:46:33,320
Speaker 1: just came in the league just a minute ago, and

1968
01:46:33,360 --> 01:46:36,720
Speaker 1: he's getting into his fourth year already. What's the top

1969
01:46:36,880 --> 01:46:39,040
Speaker 1: end for t J Watt in year four of his

1970
01:46:39,200 --> 01:46:43,519
Speaker 1: NFL career? Man, First off, it's funny you say that.

1971
01:46:43,640 --> 01:46:46,559
Speaker 1: I remember t J Watt as a rookie coming into

1972
01:46:46,640 --> 01:46:50,240
Speaker 1: the room not knowing anything is innocent. And now you're like, dude,

1973
01:46:50,280 --> 01:46:52,840
Speaker 1: you're the veteran. This is out of control right now.

1974
01:46:53,080 --> 01:46:55,400
Speaker 1: But dupre as well, it is out of control. But

1975
01:46:55,880 --> 01:46:59,320
Speaker 1: when I talk about TJ, when I think his top

1976
01:46:59,439 --> 01:47:00,960
Speaker 1: end could be, I think he definitely could be a

1977
01:47:01,040 --> 01:47:03,240
Speaker 1: defensive player of the Year. I think that's the category

1978
01:47:03,360 --> 01:47:05,559
Speaker 1: that you put him in, that's how you judge him

1979
01:47:05,640 --> 01:47:09,080
Speaker 1: going forward. I think when you look at what he

1980
01:47:09,160 --> 01:47:11,200
Speaker 1: was able to do thus far, but then in particular

1981
01:47:11,360 --> 01:47:14,519
Speaker 1: last season. I think all of those beings point to

1982
01:47:15,160 --> 01:47:17,559
Speaker 1: how elite he can be. I think all those things

1983
01:47:17,640 --> 01:47:19,599
Speaker 1: point to the impact that he can have as well.

1984
01:47:19,960 --> 01:47:21,800
Speaker 1: You look at how he's able to get double digit

1985
01:47:21,840 --> 01:47:24,000
Speaker 1: sacks consistently, you look at how he was able to

1986
01:47:24,880 --> 01:47:27,800
Speaker 1: create turnovers, you look at the impact place he was

1987
01:47:27,840 --> 01:47:30,479
Speaker 1: able to have. I think all of those beings factor

1988
01:47:30,600 --> 01:47:34,479
Speaker 1: into why the expectations are there for him, no different

1989
01:47:34,520 --> 01:47:36,640
Speaker 1: than when you talk about it Tredavious White. I think

1990
01:47:36,720 --> 01:47:38,880
Speaker 1: he's in that same conversation when you're talking about how

1991
01:47:38,960 --> 01:47:41,720
Speaker 1: good he can be. He's in defensive Player of the

1992
01:47:41,760 --> 01:47:43,680
Speaker 1: Year category as well, just off of what he did

1993
01:47:43,800 --> 01:47:46,519
Speaker 1: last season and the way he did the previous two years.

1994
01:47:46,560 --> 01:47:49,519
Speaker 1: So when when we're talking about certain players, that's how

1995
01:47:49,560 --> 01:47:51,400
Speaker 1: we're going to engage them from now on, because being

1996
01:47:51,479 --> 01:47:55,200
Speaker 1: all pro is second nature. That's what we're expecting at

1997
01:47:55,240 --> 01:47:59,840
Speaker 1: their minimum from those type of guys. The Steelers place

1998
01:48:00,040 --> 01:48:02,880
Speaker 1: the franchise tag on Bud Jupree, somebody who had eleven

1999
01:48:02,920 --> 01:48:06,960
Speaker 1: and a half sacks last year. Floor Force Fumbles was

2000
01:48:07,040 --> 01:48:09,400
Speaker 1: tied for fifth in the league sacks. He tied for

2001
01:48:09,600 --> 01:48:12,160
Speaker 1: ninth best in the league. Is he somebody that can

2002
01:48:12,280 --> 01:48:15,800
Speaker 1: replicate replicate what he did in twenty nineteen or can

2003
01:48:15,840 --> 01:48:19,600
Speaker 1: he take a step forward in twenty twenty. Yeah, I

2004
01:48:19,640 --> 01:48:21,560
Speaker 1: definitely think he could take a step forward. When I

2005
01:48:21,680 --> 01:48:24,840
Speaker 1: looked at what he did in twenty eighteen. Prior to

2006
01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:28,840
Speaker 1: that twenty nineteen season, from a statistical standpoint, they were

2007
01:48:28,960 --> 01:48:31,479
Speaker 1: all moving in the right direction. But when you watched

2008
01:48:31,560 --> 01:48:33,680
Speaker 1: him one take, you can see that, hey, this guy

2009
01:48:33,880 --> 01:48:36,320
Speaker 1: was in position to get the double digit sacks. Then

2010
01:48:36,760 --> 01:48:38,960
Speaker 1: it was just certain things didn't happen how they were

2011
01:48:38,960 --> 01:48:41,400
Speaker 1: supposed to, whether a quarterback just released it right when

2012
01:48:41,400 --> 01:48:45,240
Speaker 1: it happened, or this pepper or that happened. It was

2013
01:48:45,320 --> 01:48:47,439
Speaker 1: so many different instes where he was right there, one

2014
01:48:47,479 --> 01:48:50,240
Speaker 1: step away type situation, whereas last year a lot of

2015
01:48:50,280 --> 01:48:51,920
Speaker 1: those things went the right way for him. He was

2016
01:48:52,000 --> 01:48:54,600
Speaker 1: able to get those double digit sacks and have the

2017
01:48:54,640 --> 01:48:57,280
Speaker 1: impact that he was able to have. So going forward,

2018
01:48:57,720 --> 01:49:00,479
Speaker 1: I definitely think that he will, just because who's gonna

2019
01:49:00,479 --> 01:49:03,080
Speaker 1: have more opportunities. You look at the stealers last year.

2020
01:49:03,120 --> 01:49:07,760
Speaker 1: They were playing either tied or from behind in those games,

2021
01:49:07,800 --> 01:49:10,680
Speaker 1: which was largely due to the quarterback situation. So with

2022
01:49:10,880 --> 01:49:12,880
Speaker 1: Ben coming back, you have to assume that now they're

2023
01:49:12,920 --> 01:49:15,080
Speaker 1: gonna either be tired or playing out front, which is

2024
01:49:15,160 --> 01:49:17,360
Speaker 1: going to force offenses to have to pass a lot

2025
01:49:17,479 --> 01:49:20,320
Speaker 1: more and take more chances, which are gonna equal more

2026
01:49:20,400 --> 01:49:23,080
Speaker 1: rush opportunities and things like That's why I definitely think

2027
01:49:23,160 --> 01:49:27,240
Speaker 1: going forward he can definitely replicate that. Arthur, I got

2028
01:49:27,320 --> 01:49:29,439
Speaker 1: one last question for you. It's about the guys who

2029
01:49:29,560 --> 01:49:33,000
Speaker 1: are really who probably missed Ben Roethlisberger more than anybody,

2030
01:49:33,080 --> 01:49:35,719
Speaker 1: any fan or anybody's probably the wide receiver crew starts

2031
01:49:35,720 --> 01:49:38,800
Speaker 1: with Juju Smith Schuster. I thought Juju was really gonna

2032
01:49:38,840 --> 01:49:41,720
Speaker 1: bust out that last year, and then when Ben went

2033
01:49:41,800 --> 01:49:45,080
Speaker 1: down and it wasn't to be. How how good is Juju?

2034
01:49:45,200 --> 01:49:48,120
Speaker 1: Certainly he benefited when Antonio Brown was on the team

2035
01:49:48,160 --> 01:49:50,040
Speaker 1: and all of that. But Juju Smith Schuster to me,

2036
01:49:50,200 --> 01:49:53,160
Speaker 1: is a guy who's just waiting for the right quarterback

2037
01:49:53,200 --> 01:49:55,000
Speaker 1: to get back in the lineup, and I think he

2038
01:49:55,040 --> 01:49:58,439
Speaker 1: could be. He's got all the all the physical traits

2039
01:49:58,520 --> 01:50:01,160
Speaker 1: to be a number one wide receiver and a really

2040
01:50:01,280 --> 01:50:03,240
Speaker 1: good one. What about him in the year he could

2041
01:50:03,280 --> 01:50:06,960
Speaker 1: have with Ben back in the lineup. Yeah, Juju is

2042
01:50:06,960 --> 01:50:09,840
Speaker 1: the wild card right now. So we've seen, like you said,

2043
01:50:09,960 --> 01:50:13,080
Speaker 1: Juju in two years with Ad with dig Ben, and

2044
01:50:13,479 --> 01:50:15,720
Speaker 1: you saw the impact that he had. But then you

2045
01:50:15,760 --> 01:50:18,680
Speaker 1: saw him last year without a being without Ben, and

2046
01:50:18,840 --> 01:50:21,040
Speaker 1: we saw the year that he had then. So he's

2047
01:50:21,120 --> 01:50:23,240
Speaker 1: kind of the guy that people are still excited about

2048
01:50:23,240 --> 01:50:25,320
Speaker 1: because you want to say that he's more of the

2049
01:50:25,439 --> 01:50:28,720
Speaker 1: first two years than last year. But I think the

2050
01:50:28,800 --> 01:50:31,240
Speaker 1: jury is still out a little bit in that regard. Now,

2051
01:50:31,439 --> 01:50:35,040
Speaker 1: from a physical standpoint, he definitely checks the boxes. He's

2052
01:50:35,120 --> 01:50:37,720
Speaker 1: been productive, he can catchy, he does a lot of

2053
01:50:37,760 --> 01:50:39,880
Speaker 1: great things when he has the ball, But we want

2054
01:50:39,920 --> 01:50:42,320
Speaker 1: to see going forward, what does that look like now

2055
01:50:42,479 --> 01:50:45,519
Speaker 1: without Ad? Can you prove that you're a true number one?

2056
01:50:45,880 --> 01:50:48,519
Speaker 1: Because and I keep going back to Stefan Diggs because

2057
01:50:48,520 --> 01:50:51,040
Speaker 1: when the trade happened for him, that was the next

2058
01:50:51,240 --> 01:50:54,040
Speaker 1: person that started to get in comparisons. We were talking

2059
01:50:54,040 --> 01:50:56,519
Speaker 1: about Juju and is he worth the first round pick

2060
01:50:56,600 --> 01:50:58,439
Speaker 1: and things like that, and how the teams view him,

2061
01:50:58,479 --> 01:51:01,599
Speaker 1: because with Diggs we see him as a number one

2062
01:51:01,880 --> 01:51:04,760
Speaker 1: by himself before, whereas we haven't seen that was Juju.

2063
01:51:04,920 --> 01:51:07,719
Speaker 1: So with that being say, man, people are excited about Juju,

2064
01:51:08,120 --> 01:51:10,160
Speaker 1: but it's more so gonna be all right. We need

2065
01:51:10,280 --> 01:51:13,759
Speaker 1: to see you now be the number one guy without

2066
01:51:14,160 --> 01:51:17,800
Speaker 1: having an a b. Arthur, thanks for coming on with this.

2080
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:12,080
Speaker 1: thanks for Arthur Moats joining us last half hour talking

2081
01:52:12,080 --> 01:52:15,080
Speaker 1: about the Pittsburgh Steelers and the upcoming matchups at and

2082
01:52:15,280 --> 01:52:17,679
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger coming back, and of course the Steelers once

2083
01:52:17,720 --> 01:52:19,880
Speaker 1: again on the Bill schedule late this year for a

2084
01:52:19,960 --> 01:52:25,040
Speaker 1: Sunday night game in Buffalo. Big Ben maybe back on

2085
01:52:25,160 --> 01:52:27,280
Speaker 1: the field. A lot going on there in Pittsburgh, and

2086
01:52:27,280 --> 01:52:29,200
Speaker 1: they've got you know, they've got their plateful, just like

2087
01:52:29,280 --> 01:52:31,560
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills do. And the expectations are kind of

2088
01:52:31,640 --> 01:52:34,680
Speaker 1: always high in Pittsburgh. In Buffalo, we kind of had

2089
01:52:34,720 --> 01:52:36,879
Speaker 1: to build up to get to the expectations that accompany

2090
01:52:36,960 --> 01:52:39,920
Speaker 1: this team. Yeah, big Ben's got to bounce back here.

2091
01:52:39,960 --> 01:52:42,519
Speaker 1: It'll be intriguing to see if he can do it,

2092
01:52:42,600 --> 01:52:45,680
Speaker 1: and if Juju Smith Schuster and James Conner can can

2093
01:52:45,800 --> 01:52:48,479
Speaker 1: have a more success than they did the last season

2094
01:52:48,560 --> 01:52:50,920
Speaker 1: as well. That's right, all right, all right, It's time now,

2095
01:52:51,080 --> 01:52:53,799
Speaker 1: Maddie for NFL True Falls, brought to you by Yancey's

2096
01:52:53,840 --> 01:52:57,120
Speaker 1: Fancy Yancey's Fancy New York's artists and Cheese. Are you ready?

2097
01:52:57,880 --> 01:53:02,080
Speaker 1: I am ready? We go here His true NFL true

2098
01:53:02,120 --> 01:53:05,920
Speaker 1: false number one, Ryan Tannehill's twenty nineteen season, where he

2099
01:53:05,960 --> 01:53:08,760
Speaker 1: completed seventy point three percent of his passes. By the way,

2100
01:53:08,800 --> 01:53:15,120
Speaker 1: we'll pave the way for future success of secondhand quarterbacks.

2101
01:53:16,360 --> 01:53:23,360
Speaker 1: I'm not buying it false. I'm saying false because Ryan

2102
01:53:23,479 --> 01:53:26,519
Speaker 1: Tannehill had Derrick Henry on his team, and Derrick Henry

2103
01:53:26,600 --> 01:53:29,720
Speaker 1: went off in the second half of the season. I

2104
01:53:29,800 --> 01:53:33,960
Speaker 1: think it totally depends on who's on your roster every

2105
01:53:34,040 --> 01:53:36,560
Speaker 1: single time. It does. You can't just have a secondhand

2106
01:53:36,640 --> 01:53:38,760
Speaker 1: quarterback and be like, oh, yeah, we're just gonna be

2107
01:53:38,840 --> 01:53:43,679
Speaker 1: awesome regardless we have exactly yeah, that's you can't recreate

2108
01:53:43,760 --> 01:53:46,040
Speaker 1: what happened in Tennessee. In fact, I don't think Tennessee

2109
01:53:46,160 --> 01:53:47,720
Speaker 1: is going to be able to recreate what happened in

2110
01:53:47,800 --> 01:53:51,200
Speaker 1: Tennessee last half of last season. When Ryan Tannehill took

2111
01:53:51,240 --> 01:53:55,240
Speaker 1: over for Marcus Mariota completed seventy percent of his passes,

2112
01:53:55,439 --> 01:53:58,840
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry started running their defense play, everything got better

2113
01:53:58,920 --> 01:54:02,120
Speaker 1: for them and they made that enormous run to the

2114
01:54:02,280 --> 01:54:05,439
Speaker 1: championship game before they got beat by the Chiefs. But

2115
01:54:06,160 --> 01:54:11,160
Speaker 1: that is the perfect example of something I always refer to.

2116
01:54:11,640 --> 01:54:14,600
Speaker 1: It's called catching lightning in a bottle. They had it.

2117
01:54:14,800 --> 01:54:17,800
Speaker 1: They were they were unbelievably good. They were playing with

2118
01:54:17,880 --> 01:54:21,840
Speaker 1: an enormous amount of confidence. Ryan Tannehill was completing seven

2119
01:54:21,920 --> 01:54:24,599
Speaker 1: out of ten balls that he threw, and Derrick Henry

2120
01:54:24,800 --> 01:54:28,360
Speaker 1: was an absolute ultimate weapon. In the run game, that

2121
01:54:28,479 --> 01:54:32,080
Speaker 1: he's enormous running back, great speed, and his offensive line

2122
01:54:32,160 --> 01:54:34,720
Speaker 1: was playing with a lot of confidence. They're not going

2123
01:54:34,760 --> 01:54:37,600
Speaker 1: to be able to recreate that. I don't think for

2124
01:54:37,720 --> 01:54:39,920
Speaker 1: this next coming season. I don't think Derry Henry will

2125
01:54:39,920 --> 01:54:41,800
Speaker 1: be as good. I don't think Ryan Tannehill will be

2126
01:54:41,840 --> 01:54:44,120
Speaker 1: as good. And I think that's so I'm gonna say

2127
01:54:44,200 --> 01:54:46,560
Speaker 1: false as well. I don't think Ryan Tannehill's success in

2128
01:54:46,640 --> 01:54:49,920
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen will pave the way for anybody else, let

2129
01:54:50,000 --> 01:54:53,000
Speaker 1: alone his own team. All right, So NFL true false.

2130
01:54:53,120 --> 01:54:58,240
Speaker 1: Number two, The NFL should have more international players true

2131
01:54:58,320 --> 01:55:03,040
Speaker 1: or false? True. I am all about that. Uh. I

2132
01:55:03,200 --> 01:55:07,440
Speaker 1: think the international players Pathway program that they have started

2133
01:55:07,560 --> 01:55:10,000
Speaker 1: has been good, um, but I think they can do

2134
01:55:10,160 --> 01:55:12,520
Speaker 1: more to even make it better. Why not? Why not

2135
01:55:12,680 --> 01:55:15,800
Speaker 1: have every single team on the in the NFL have

2136
01:55:16,040 --> 01:55:19,560
Speaker 1: an international player on their roster. I mean, the NFL

2137
01:55:19,680 --> 01:55:22,680
Speaker 1: wants to grow their game to different countries. This is

2138
01:55:22,760 --> 01:55:25,680
Speaker 1: one way to do it, and I think it's important

2139
01:55:25,720 --> 01:55:29,680
Speaker 1: to give people opportunities that may not have those opportunities

2140
01:55:29,720 --> 01:55:32,520
Speaker 1: that live in different countries. I'm sure you can find

2141
01:55:32,600 --> 01:55:35,800
Speaker 1: some really good talent in different countries. I think if

2142
01:55:35,840 --> 01:55:38,400
Speaker 1: you continue to open up this program. I think it's

2143
01:55:38,440 --> 01:55:40,680
Speaker 1: a good start, but I'd love to see more international

2144
01:55:40,760 --> 01:55:44,440
Speaker 1: players on our rosters. It's difficult to do because it's

2145
01:55:44,480 --> 01:55:46,960
Speaker 1: tough to play football unless you're playing football in the league.

2146
01:55:47,000 --> 01:55:49,400
Speaker 1: You know, certainly, they are great athletes all over the plan.

2147
01:55:49,520 --> 01:55:52,760
Speaker 1: I mean, the United States doesn't have a moratorium on

2148
01:55:52,800 --> 01:55:55,840
Speaker 1: all the great athletes, but we have. You know, the

2149
01:55:56,000 --> 01:55:58,400
Speaker 1: quality of the standards of living in the US allows

2150
01:55:58,480 --> 01:56:01,000
Speaker 1: these guys, young kids to come up. When they play sports,

2151
01:56:01,040 --> 01:56:04,120
Speaker 1: they're available. There's all kinds of opportunities, and it's that

2152
01:56:04,200 --> 01:56:08,120
Speaker 1: way sometimes in other countries, but it's usually different sports

2153
01:56:08,680 --> 01:56:11,840
Speaker 1: American you know, the NFL and American football is kind

2154
01:56:11,880 --> 01:56:15,040
Speaker 1: of a one of a kind sport played within our borders.

2155
01:56:15,080 --> 01:56:17,160
Speaker 1: Certainly they have some in Canada. It's a little different.

2156
01:56:17,960 --> 01:56:20,960
Speaker 1: Even when you say Australian rules football, it could not

2157
01:56:21,120 --> 01:56:23,960
Speaker 1: be more different than American football. So it's a it's

2158
01:56:24,000 --> 01:56:26,400
Speaker 1: a specialized sport that you need a team and a

2159
01:56:26,560 --> 01:56:30,480
Speaker 1: league to play to get good at as a youngster,

2160
01:56:30,840 --> 01:56:33,400
Speaker 1: to get the skills. So it's a really difficult transition

2161
01:56:33,440 --> 01:56:35,200
Speaker 1: to make as Christian way, and there are other things too.

2162
01:56:35,240 --> 01:56:38,880
Speaker 1: There is a an article written with an interview from

2163
01:56:39,480 --> 01:56:42,480
Speaker 1: Morton Anderson. I'm good friends with Morten Anderson, the Hall

2164
01:56:42,520 --> 01:56:45,040
Speaker 1: of Fame kicker who played the NFL for a long

2165
01:56:45,120 --> 01:56:50,240
Speaker 1: long time. Laurent Devna Tardiff with the Kansas City Chiefs.

2166
01:56:50,320 --> 01:56:52,680
Speaker 1: He was drafting the sixth rounds of the twenty fourteen

2167
01:56:52,880 --> 01:56:56,040
Speaker 1: NFL draft and he's a starting right guard for the Chiefs.

2168
01:56:57,240 --> 01:57:02,360
Speaker 1: He calls Saint John Baptiste Quebec home. So Canadian guys

2169
01:57:02,440 --> 01:57:05,960
Speaker 1: count as international players, and there's some transfer of players

2170
01:57:06,120 --> 01:57:09,000
Speaker 1: from the Canadian leagues in the Canadian college system in

2171
01:57:09,080 --> 01:57:12,000
Speaker 1: high schools into the National Football League and into American

2172
01:57:12,120 --> 01:57:17,600
Speaker 1: universities as well. He played football at McGill University. There's

2173
01:57:17,640 --> 01:57:21,360
Speaker 1: also a lineage Morton Anderson, as I mentioned, was a

2174
01:57:21,640 --> 01:57:25,520
Speaker 1: great youth soccer player. Steve Christie, the former Buffalo Bill kicker,

2175
01:57:25,840 --> 01:57:27,920
Speaker 1: was a great youth soccer player. He was on the

2176
01:57:28,040 --> 01:57:31,240
Speaker 1: Canadian national team. Soccer seems to be a great pipeline

2177
01:57:31,280 --> 01:57:36,040
Speaker 1: for guys who can kick, and Canadian football does lend

2178
01:57:36,120 --> 01:57:40,240
Speaker 1: itself to some NFL type abilities in American football type

2179
01:57:40,240 --> 01:57:44,880
Speaker 1: of skill sets, but the menu of countries that actually play,

2180
01:57:46,200 --> 01:57:50,800
Speaker 1: you know, American football is pretty small. There's some semi

2181
01:57:50,920 --> 01:57:55,040
Speaker 1: pro football teams my son playing. I'll give you an example. Maddie.

2182
01:57:55,520 --> 01:57:59,080
Speaker 1: My son played Division three football at Case Western Reserve

2183
01:57:59,440 --> 01:58:02,480
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, Ohio. Division three. You know, if you want

2184
01:58:02,520 --> 01:58:05,120
Speaker 1: to play college football and there's no scholar and you

2185
01:58:05,160 --> 01:58:06,640
Speaker 1: go to Division three and you play and you have

2186
01:58:06,720 --> 01:58:08,400
Speaker 1: fun and your guys are good and it's fun. Well,

2187
01:58:08,440 --> 01:58:11,760
Speaker 1: one of the things they did was they took a

2188
01:58:11,840 --> 01:58:15,040
Speaker 1: bunch of guys in the summer of my son's sophomore

2189
01:58:15,200 --> 01:58:18,320
Speaker 1: junior year, I can't remember which, and took him over

2190
01:58:18,400 --> 01:58:21,480
Speaker 1: to Italy on a trip. There's like twenty five or

2191
01:58:21,600 --> 01:58:23,880
Speaker 1: thirty kids. You had to pay your own way to go.

2192
01:58:24,600 --> 01:58:27,920
Speaker 1: So the coaching staff and everybody went. They took twenty

2193
01:58:27,960 --> 01:58:30,640
Speaker 1: five or thirty kids over there, took their equipment and everything.

2194
01:58:31,280 --> 01:58:33,760
Speaker 1: They went around and did some touristy stuff, and then

2195
01:58:33,800 --> 01:58:36,440
Speaker 1: they got together and they played against a semi pro

2196
01:58:36,640 --> 01:58:40,320
Speaker 1: football team in Italy. And you think, okay, well, how's

2197
01:58:40,360 --> 01:58:43,320
Speaker 1: that compared Division three football to the semipro. And there's

2198
01:58:43,360 --> 01:58:45,920
Speaker 1: like forty five year old guys playing on the semipro, right,

2199
01:58:46,040 --> 01:58:48,120
Speaker 1: I mean, and they were Italians, right, So they're all

2200
01:58:48,160 --> 01:58:52,040
Speaker 1: playing these Italian guys in this semi pro team and

2201
01:58:52,120 --> 01:58:56,840
Speaker 1: it's a semipro league over there. The Division three team

2202
01:58:57,000 --> 01:59:01,080
Speaker 1: crushed the semi pro team crushed them. And like my son,

2203
01:59:01,120 --> 01:59:04,320
Speaker 1: who's an offensive wide receiver stuff, he was playing defensive backs.

2204
01:59:04,560 --> 01:59:07,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a total whitewashing, but it was

2205
01:59:07,560 --> 01:59:09,280
Speaker 1: so fun for him. They had fun, and it was

2206
01:59:09,320 --> 01:59:11,400
Speaker 1: a game that set up and they had the officials

2207
01:59:11,440 --> 01:59:13,320
Speaker 1: in the whole nine yards and they played this. So

2208
01:59:13,960 --> 01:59:17,760
Speaker 1: it's hard to find a place to play if you're

2209
01:59:17,760 --> 01:59:20,040
Speaker 1: a foreign player to learn the game, let alone come

2210
01:59:20,080 --> 01:59:22,560
Speaker 1: over and like Christian Way, just showing up and playing

2211
01:59:22,560 --> 01:59:25,160
Speaker 1: at the highest level of the sport. It's a pretty

2212
01:59:25,200 --> 01:59:28,000
Speaker 1: big ask for these guys. I think they do. I

2213
01:59:28,040 --> 01:59:30,080
Speaker 1: think it would be awesome to have more foreign players

2214
01:59:30,160 --> 01:59:33,120
Speaker 1: in the game, I really do. But for it to happen,

2215
01:59:33,200 --> 01:59:35,320
Speaker 1: I think a lot of things would have to change overseas,

2216
01:59:36,160 --> 01:59:41,280
Speaker 1: all right. NFL true false. Number three. The Jaguars will

2217
01:59:41,320 --> 01:59:44,120
Speaker 1: have the worst record in the NFL in twenty twenty.

2218
01:59:44,480 --> 01:59:46,360
Speaker 1: Jacksonville is the number one pick of the draft in

2219
01:59:46,400 --> 01:59:50,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. What do you think I could actually

2220
01:59:50,200 --> 01:59:52,400
Speaker 1: see it happening. I was trying to think about other

2221
01:59:52,560 --> 01:59:58,800
Speaker 1: rosters too, don't have that many great players or who

2222
01:59:59,120 --> 02:00:02,840
Speaker 1: will continue to be too good in twenty twenty, I

2223
02:00:03,040 --> 02:00:05,640
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, the Jaguars kind of fit in that conversation.

2224
02:00:05,880 --> 02:00:08,320
Speaker 1: How much better are the Redskins gonna be? What about

2225
02:00:08,360 --> 02:00:11,360
Speaker 1: the Giants? Are the Bears gonna like tank again with

2226
02:00:11,440 --> 02:00:13,880
Speaker 1: true bisky? What's gonna happen there? I mean, they have

2227
02:00:14,000 --> 02:00:17,160
Speaker 1: like twenty tight ends. Now, Detroit's always in that conversation. Yeah,

2228
02:00:17,240 --> 02:00:22,640
Speaker 1: Detroit too. So something happens to Matt Stafford every single year,

2229
02:00:22,880 --> 02:00:25,360
Speaker 1: poor guy. All Right, So there you go. I mean,

2230
02:00:25,600 --> 02:00:31,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say true, that's what I'm gonna stay true.

2231
02:00:31,680 --> 02:00:34,000
Speaker 1: I mean, because I don't think anybody else is in

2232
02:00:34,120 --> 02:00:37,960
Speaker 1: the same It's it's like Jacksonville is is, you know,

2233
02:00:38,080 --> 02:00:41,760
Speaker 1: back in the sweepstakes for a quarterback exactly, And I

2234
02:00:41,880 --> 02:00:44,640
Speaker 1: think that's that's all it takes. Man. Uh, you know,

2235
02:00:45,280 --> 02:00:47,240
Speaker 1: we'll see. So I'm gonna say true. I'm gonna say

2236
02:00:47,280 --> 02:00:50,040
Speaker 1: Jaguars may have and I'd say they will have the

2237
02:00:50,120 --> 02:00:53,440
Speaker 1: worst record in the National Football League. All right, that

2238
02:00:53,600 --> 02:00:57,080
Speaker 1: was NFL true. You're agreeing with me, I'm agreeing with you,

2239
02:00:57,400 --> 02:01:00,720
Speaker 1: all right. That was NFL everything. I think so too.

2240
02:01:00,840 --> 02:01:03,000
Speaker 1: NFL True false. Brought to you by Yancy's Fancy New

2241
02:01:03,120 --> 02:01:05,040
Speaker 1: York's artist and Cheese. We'll still have time if you

2242
02:01:05,120 --> 02:01:08,200
Speaker 1: want to get on in. On the Twitter poll, it's

2243
02:01:08,480 --> 02:01:10,920
Speaker 1: Who's going to be the Bills X Factor in twenty

2244
02:01:11,000 --> 02:01:13,560
Speaker 1: twenty Dawson Knox Forty six percent of our respond to

2245
02:01:13,640 --> 02:01:17,280
Speaker 1: say he's the guy. Thirty percent, though, says Zach Moss

2246
02:01:17,400 --> 02:01:20,240
Speaker 1: is the guy. Twelve or well, actually thirteen percent say

2247
02:01:20,400 --> 02:01:23,440
Speaker 1: Josh Norman is the guy. And I what do you think,

2248
02:01:23,560 --> 02:01:26,440
Speaker 1: Mattie are are you gonna pick sides here? We haven't

2249
02:01:26,440 --> 02:01:29,680
Speaker 1: really pinned you down on an opinion Dawson Knox, Zack Moss,

2250
02:01:29,840 --> 02:01:36,040
Speaker 1: Josh Norman or the dreaded other category. I think I'm

2251
02:01:36,080 --> 02:01:41,320
Speaker 1: gonna going to fall into the Dawson Knox fan group.

2252
02:01:41,560 --> 02:01:45,200
Speaker 1: I think he'll be the X factor with the Bills

2253
02:01:45,280 --> 02:01:49,920
Speaker 1: this year. I I have a lot of expectations from him,

2254
02:01:49,960 --> 02:01:52,320
Speaker 1: and I think he can follow through on that based

2255
02:01:52,320 --> 02:01:56,160
Speaker 1: off of what we saw last season and the opportunity

2256
02:01:56,440 --> 02:01:58,960
Speaker 1: this season for him. But who I mean? If Tyler

2257
02:01:59,040 --> 02:02:02,560
Speaker 1: Croft is really healthy, Tyler Croft could take a bulk

2258
02:02:02,640 --> 02:02:06,760
Speaker 1: of these snaps. If Tyler Croft starts to play really well,

2259
02:02:06,920 --> 02:02:10,600
Speaker 1: So that's also an intriguing part of the conversation is

2260
02:02:10,800 --> 02:02:14,280
Speaker 1: if Tyler Croft was healthy last year, Dawson Knox wouldn't

2261
02:02:14,280 --> 02:02:17,080
Speaker 1: have had the year that he had. Yeah, because Tyler

2262
02:02:17,200 --> 02:02:21,400
Speaker 1: Croft was the number one. Dawson Knox earned him his

2263
02:02:21,520 --> 02:02:24,600
Speaker 1: way in because Tyler Croft was injured and they needed help.

2264
02:02:24,760 --> 02:02:28,240
Speaker 1: So what happens when Tyler Croft is healthy? Could he

2265
02:02:28,400 --> 02:02:31,760
Speaker 1: have a twenty seventeen season where he had close to

2266
02:02:31,800 --> 02:02:35,480
Speaker 1: five hundred receiving yards and seven touchdowns. Is Dawson Knox

2267
02:02:35,520 --> 02:02:37,880
Speaker 1: as much of the part of the conversation then, Yeah,

2268
02:02:38,000 --> 02:02:40,080
Speaker 1: it's an interesting question. There's a lot of ifs and

2269
02:02:40,280 --> 02:02:43,960
Speaker 1: maybe's and question marks going into this season. But I

2270
02:02:44,040 --> 02:02:46,040
Speaker 1: think here's the guy I would pick off the list

2271
02:02:46,080 --> 02:02:48,840
Speaker 1: from Dawson Knox, Zach Moster, Josh Norman, would be Zach Moss.

2272
02:02:48,920 --> 02:02:51,560
Speaker 1: And here's why. I think when you talk about an

2273
02:02:51,720 --> 02:02:53,280
Speaker 1: X factor, you're talking about a guy not only a

2274
02:02:53,360 --> 02:02:55,680
Speaker 1: guy that helps him during the regular season, but also

2275
02:02:55,760 --> 02:02:57,400
Speaker 1: a guy that when it comes down to the end

2276
02:02:57,440 --> 02:03:02,200
Speaker 1: of the season, has evolved into something different than what

2277
02:03:02,360 --> 02:03:07,480
Speaker 1: we see not today in June, Zack Moss is gonna

2278
02:03:07,520 --> 02:03:09,640
Speaker 1: get some opportunities to run the football and the way

2279
02:03:09,720 --> 02:03:13,000
Speaker 1: this team has been with rookies is that they start

2280
02:03:13,200 --> 02:03:15,800
Speaker 1: stardom slow. They give them a few touches, They give

2281
02:03:15,880 --> 02:03:17,760
Speaker 1: them a little bit a chance to get their feet wet,

2282
02:03:17,880 --> 02:03:19,960
Speaker 1: give them some a little bit of responsibility to see

2283
02:03:20,000 --> 02:03:22,120
Speaker 1: how they do. They take them back a little bit,

2284
02:03:22,200 --> 02:03:24,760
Speaker 1: they back them up a little bit and hash out

2285
02:03:24,800 --> 02:03:27,120
Speaker 1: what they did, how they could do better. Let's iron

2286
02:03:27,160 --> 02:03:28,800
Speaker 1: out some more of your problems. All right, just give

2287
02:03:28,800 --> 02:03:31,280
Speaker 1: you another opportunity here. Okay, now we've done that. Now

2288
02:03:31,360 --> 02:03:35,800
Speaker 1: let's do it. And it was quintessential Ed Oliver last

2289
02:03:35,880 --> 02:03:38,520
Speaker 1: year who at the second half of the season just exploded.

2290
02:03:38,560 --> 02:03:41,320
Speaker 1: I thought he had a tremendous last month of the year.

2291
02:03:42,240 --> 02:03:44,920
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of gonna be where I think

2292
02:03:45,040 --> 02:03:48,040
Speaker 1: Zach Moss does it for the Buffalo Bills. I think

2293
02:03:48,080 --> 02:03:50,640
Speaker 1: this is a playoff team. I think they get better

2294
02:03:50,960 --> 02:03:54,040
Speaker 1: as the season goes along. Zack Moss gets better and better,

2295
02:03:54,120 --> 02:03:57,720
Speaker 1: gets more and more opportunities, makes some things happen. And

2296
02:03:57,800 --> 02:03:59,600
Speaker 1: then at the end of the season, the last month

2297
02:03:59,640 --> 02:04:01,720
Speaker 1: of the season, when he feels like he really belongs,

2298
02:04:02,000 --> 02:04:04,680
Speaker 1: when he needed his role, when he's confident and everything

2299
02:04:04,720 --> 02:04:06,440
Speaker 1: that they're going to ask him or could ask him

2300
02:04:06,480 --> 02:04:09,400
Speaker 1: to do on the field. I think he's gonna shine.

2301
02:04:09,480 --> 02:04:11,560
Speaker 1: His talent's gonna come out. And I think when the

2302
02:04:11,600 --> 02:04:13,960
Speaker 1: Bills get deep into the into the year, and when

2303
02:04:14,000 --> 02:04:17,080
Speaker 1: they get deep into the into those primetime games in

2304
02:04:17,080 --> 02:04:19,200
Speaker 1: the last month of the season, maybe into the playoffs,

2305
02:04:19,560 --> 02:04:21,480
Speaker 1: Zack Moss is gonna spread his wings a lot like

2306
02:04:21,520 --> 02:04:24,840
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary did last year. I think that's when Zach

2307
02:04:24,920 --> 02:04:27,000
Speaker 1: Moss is going to be that X factor where we've

2308
02:04:27,040 --> 02:04:30,280
Speaker 1: got not just Devin Singletary, who may have a monster season,

2309
02:04:30,680 --> 02:04:32,560
Speaker 1: but then all of a sudden, you throw Zach Moss

2310
02:04:32,600 --> 02:04:34,720
Speaker 1: in and it's like, well, who is this guy? Right?

2311
02:04:34,840 --> 02:04:36,720
Speaker 1: So I think that's kind of the X factor I'm

2312
02:04:36,720 --> 02:04:38,680
Speaker 1: thinking Zach Moss could be this year for the Bills.

2313
02:04:38,720 --> 02:04:42,440
Speaker 1: What do you think I think he could be? They

2314
02:04:43,080 --> 02:04:45,160
Speaker 1: they're going to use two running backs for sure. That's

2315
02:04:45,160 --> 02:04:47,600
Speaker 1: another thing with that position. You're going to use two

2316
02:04:47,680 --> 02:04:49,640
Speaker 1: guys and you need one guy to set up the other,

2317
02:04:50,280 --> 02:04:53,280
Speaker 1: and these two guys bring different things to the game.

2318
02:04:53,680 --> 02:04:57,880
Speaker 1: They each have their strengths. Zach Moss is definitely going

2319
02:04:58,000 --> 02:05:02,520
Speaker 1: to model the role that Frank Gore had last season.

2320
02:05:03,040 --> 02:05:05,360
Speaker 1: Hopefully he can do even more than Frank Gore did

2321
02:05:05,480 --> 02:05:07,640
Speaker 1: last season. Not that Frank Gore didn't have a good year,

2322
02:05:08,680 --> 02:05:12,240
Speaker 1: but it'd be nice to see another running back who

2323
02:05:12,720 --> 02:05:15,600
Speaker 1: can do as much as Devin did, and to play

2324
02:05:15,760 --> 02:05:17,520
Speaker 1: as much of a part as Devin did it and

2325
02:05:17,720 --> 02:05:20,000
Speaker 1: to be somebody who you can trust in the red

2326
02:05:20,080 --> 02:05:22,080
Speaker 1: zone on the one yard line to plow it in

2327
02:05:22,200 --> 02:05:26,280
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. All right, Steve Tasker, Maddie Glab, I

2328
02:05:26,400 --> 02:05:28,240
Speaker 1: agree with all that stuff you said, Maddie. I do.

2329
02:05:28,760 --> 02:05:30,920
Speaker 1: I think all of these guys have a chance to

2330
02:05:30,960 --> 02:05:33,600
Speaker 1: be the X factor, and I think both Dawson Knox

2331
02:05:34,360 --> 02:05:37,760
Speaker 1: and Zach Moss and Josh Norman are all going to

2332
02:05:37,800 --> 02:05:42,160
Speaker 1: have a lot of opportunity to showcase what they're capable of.

2333
02:05:42,280 --> 02:05:44,160
Speaker 1: We'll be right back, Maddie Glab, Steve task We're here

2334
02:05:44,280 --> 02:05:46,080
Speaker 1: till the top of the hour, One Bills Live presented

2335
02:05:46,120 --> 02:05:56,240
Speaker 1: by Kalida Health and this is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome

2336
02:05:56,280 --> 02:05:58,680
Speaker 1: back to One Bill's Live. Finishing up today, Mattie, we

2337
02:05:58,880 --> 02:06:02,000
Speaker 1: had this Twitter poll that came out pretty it's pretty good.

2338
02:06:02,040 --> 02:06:04,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I think people would love to see a

2339
02:06:05,040 --> 02:06:07,320
Speaker 1: tight end for the Buffalo Bills breakout, and I think

2340
02:06:07,320 --> 02:06:09,000
Speaker 1: that Dawson Knox might be the guy to do it

2341
02:06:09,080 --> 02:06:10,880
Speaker 1: forty six percent of our response and said he's the

2342
02:06:10,920 --> 02:06:13,040
Speaker 1: guy that's going to be that the X factor in

2343
02:06:13,040 --> 02:06:15,800
Speaker 1: the Bills twenty twenty season. Zach Moss is thirty percent

2344
02:06:15,840 --> 02:06:18,560
Speaker 1: of the vote and Josh Norman thirteen percent of the vote.

2345
02:06:18,600 --> 02:06:22,840
Speaker 1: No surprise that Dawson Knox. I think people have high

2346
02:06:22,880 --> 02:06:24,840
Speaker 1: hopes for him because they saw how close to being

2347
02:06:24,960 --> 02:06:27,960
Speaker 1: a really good tight end he was last year. Yeah,

2348
02:06:28,200 --> 02:06:31,400
Speaker 1: I look at We talked about some other tight ends

2349
02:06:31,640 --> 02:06:33,920
Speaker 1: around the league and how successful they were, and we

2350
02:06:33,960 --> 02:06:37,960
Speaker 1: talked about Dawson Knox's drops. He caught fifty six percent

2351
02:06:38,440 --> 02:06:44,600
Speaker 1: of his passes and Travis Kelsey seventy one percent, George

2352
02:06:44,720 --> 02:06:47,840
Speaker 1: Kittle seventy nine percent. So Dawson Knox is going to

2353
02:06:47,920 --> 02:06:50,240
Speaker 1: have to increase that if he wants to have a

2354
02:06:50,400 --> 02:06:53,480
Speaker 1: productive year. I agree. And also we had on the

2355
02:06:53,520 --> 02:06:56,760
Speaker 1: show Arthur Moates, who is a host of Steelers Nation

2356
02:06:56,960 --> 02:06:59,720
Speaker 1: Radio down in Pittsburgh. He was a Buffalo Bills player

2357
02:06:59,720 --> 02:07:02,400
Speaker 1: for four years here and for the Bills, also for

2358
02:07:02,440 --> 02:07:05,080
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers obviously, and also for the Arizona Cardinals

2359
02:07:05,120 --> 02:07:07,680
Speaker 1: over an eight year career. He's also the author of

2360
02:07:07,920 --> 02:07:10,360
Speaker 1: Moat's Theory of Life. He was interesting about what the

2361
02:07:10,400 --> 02:07:13,320
Speaker 1: Steelers prospects are and a lot like Buffalo, and like

2362
02:07:13,480 --> 02:07:16,800
Speaker 1: other teams, they get kind of hinges on their quarterback.

2363
02:07:16,840 --> 02:07:18,880
Speaker 1: They get Big Ben back in the saddle. What Big

2364
02:07:18,960 --> 02:07:21,720
Speaker 1: Ben has left to give, whether it's elbow's going to

2365
02:07:21,720 --> 02:07:24,400
Speaker 1: be one hundred percent kind of hinges on how good

2366
02:07:24,440 --> 02:07:26,920
Speaker 1: the Steelers will be this year. Yeah, it's a big

2367
02:07:27,040 --> 02:07:29,560
Speaker 1: question mark. I mean, their defense had a good year

2368
02:07:29,680 --> 02:07:33,240
Speaker 1: last year. Minca Fitzpatrick was great. He will be this season,

2369
02:07:33,680 --> 02:07:37,120
Speaker 1: But can their offense finish the job. Your defense can

2370
02:07:37,200 --> 02:07:39,920
Speaker 1: only take you to take you so far. And I

2371
02:07:40,000 --> 02:07:42,000
Speaker 1: think we figured that out with the Buffalo Bills too.

2372
02:07:42,040 --> 02:07:44,680
Speaker 1: You got to score points if you want to win games. Yeah,

2373
02:07:44,720 --> 02:07:48,280
Speaker 1: it's easy enough to hold the other's team down below

2374
02:07:48,320 --> 02:07:51,200
Speaker 1: their season average, which the Bills did virtually every week

2375
02:07:51,280 --> 02:07:53,520
Speaker 1: of the season last year. They held teams to below

2376
02:07:53,520 --> 02:07:55,480
Speaker 1: their season average for points score. But you still got

2377
02:07:55,560 --> 02:07:58,280
Speaker 1: to put points on the board. Stefan Diggs is thought

2378
02:07:58,320 --> 02:08:00,280
Speaker 1: to be a huge reason. I think they will. I

2379
02:08:00,320 --> 02:08:02,360
Speaker 1: think they'll probably take another step forward. I think Josh

2380
02:08:02,400 --> 02:08:05,480
Speaker 1: will take another step forward. What that looks like what

2381
02:08:05,680 --> 02:08:07,960
Speaker 1: it means remains to be seen. But it's gonna be

2382
02:08:08,000 --> 02:08:09,800
Speaker 1: an awful lot of fun. It's gonna be a lot

2383
02:08:09,800 --> 02:08:11,280
Speaker 1: of fun. I think this season is gonna be so

2384
02:08:11,480 --> 02:08:14,440
Speaker 1: much fun. For this I just hope it's, you know,

2385
02:08:15,000 --> 02:08:20,520
Speaker 1: somewhat normal, right. Yeah, I'm I'm so excited and I

2386
02:08:20,720 --> 02:08:23,280
Speaker 1: am so ready for camp. I'm so ready to see

2387
02:08:23,360 --> 02:08:26,840
Speaker 1: these guys. You build relationships with them, and I haven't

2388
02:08:26,920 --> 02:08:31,200
Speaker 1: seen them since, like, I mean February January, and I'm like,

2389
02:08:31,320 --> 02:08:35,120
Speaker 1: I just miss them. I want to stop practicing. Yeah,

2390
02:08:35,160 --> 02:08:36,960
Speaker 1: it's one thing to work for a football team, but

2391
02:08:37,040 --> 02:08:38,640
Speaker 1: it's another thing when you work for a football team.

2392
02:08:38,720 --> 02:08:43,560
Speaker 1: You never get it to see the football team. Tomorrow,

2393
02:08:43,600 --> 02:08:46,800
Speaker 1: we got Joel. Tomorrow, we got Joel Corey, former sports agent.

2394
02:08:46,840 --> 02:08:50,120
Speaker 1: He's a current CBS Sports Salary Cap expert. On tomorrow show,

2395
02:08:50,160 --> 02:08:53,080
Speaker 1: the Bills with about twenty million dollars left in their

2396
02:08:53,160 --> 02:08:55,560
Speaker 1: cap after signing or after as soon as Zach Moss

2397
02:08:55,640 --> 02:08:58,440
Speaker 1: signs when he does. Steve Tasker along with Maddie Glab Maddie,

2398
02:08:58,480 --> 02:09:00,640
Speaker 1: thanks good show today. We'll be back with you tomorrow

2399
02:09:00,640 --> 02:09:03,280
Speaker 1: at noon. This is One Bill's Live, presented by Kalidah

2400
02:09:03,320 --> 02:09:10,560
Speaker 1: Health and This has been Buffalo Bill's beh
