15
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: and then you hear yeah with the wind chills tonight,

16
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,120

17
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: I know, I know we're a long way off, but

18
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: we're not the first day of spring is what March

19
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: twenty second every year. Three weeks. That's just such a lie.

20
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: Three weeks, that's a lie. It starts though March twenty

21
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: first though, it's like that. Yeah, it starts. I always

22
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: confuse the um, what is it? This the solstice? The

23
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: spring sols? Do you have the summer solstice which is

24
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: the longest day. Yeah, the spring equinox is one day

25
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: and the first day of spring is the next day.

26
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: I think that's how it is. Yeah, it's when it's

27
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:45,199
Speaker 1: like when it's cutting got elementary school. It's twelve hours,

28
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: twelve hours of day daylight, twelve hours of darkness. And yeah,

29
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: the the solstice is the longest day of the year.

30
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: Twenty first, Yeah, I am. I am happy that the

31
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: days are getting longer now. It's usually not dark till

32
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: about six fifteen, six thirty now, so yes, you can

33
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: start to now notice a difference where when you're when

34
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: you're doing things during the at the ends of your day,

35
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: where it's either dark or whether now it's light, it helps,

36
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: which is certainly help. Good. In two weeks we go

37
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:17,000

Speaker 1: only about maybe right around a hundo. See. I was.

107
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:04,680

108
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: or eight to like sixteen, okay, and like by the

109
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: time I was twelve, I remember I would get my

110
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: buddy who was also a big collector, and he and

111
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: I would get one of our moms to like drive

112
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: us to card shows. They drop us off at like

113
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: a card memorabilia show, which unfortunately those vendors a lot

114
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: of times, they they prey on twelve year olds like me.

115
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: I try to talk him down. He's like, no, that's

116
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: the price, and it's like, oh, I really want that card,

117
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna pay five bucks for it, you know.

118
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: But they drop us off, pick us up in like

119
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: two hours, and you know that we'd do a Saturday

120
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: like that. Like so I was into it, and I

121
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 1: had all the sleeves you know, to protect them and everything,

122
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: and I still have a lot of that stuff. I

123
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: never got rid of it. The boy is going to

124
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: be a bigger entrepreneur in this area than night because

125
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: I still have all met it's here's the here's what

126
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: you're up against. For me, you do it. When I

127
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: was playing, I was part of with the NFL PA

128
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: in the union and the strike in eighty seven the league.

129
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: One of the responses the league had was to give

130
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: guys money to sign a license you root for card companies.

131
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: So there's like nine thousand card companies, and so like

132
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: every guy's got nine thousand cards, so there's any get

133
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: you get them. So you have these buckets of cards,

134
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: ninety nine point nine nine percent of them are worthless,

135
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: and they're all worthless then because there's yeah, and now

136
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: you got to wait until you know you're ninety to

137
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: have them work it be worth anything. The crazy thing

138
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: is during this pandemic, there has been a sharp spike

139
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: in collecting cards because it's something you can do during

140
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: the pandemic. You go online, I don't know, you find

141
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: a favorite player, or you find a card of value,

142
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: or maybe some older guy is looking to get cards

143
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: of his favorite player when he was a kid. And

144
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: now you're online, you're buying these things. Demand has gone

145
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: through the roof because you know, like I said, my

146
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: son's gonna send these cards in to get graded. There

147
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: is a twelve week backlock to get things just graded right,

148
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: because people are sending their stuff in. People are digging

149
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: through their attics during the pin they got nothing to

150
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: do on the weekend, digging through their attics, like, oh

151
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: look what I found. I got this box, you know

152
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: that was in my barn or in my attic. Let

153
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: me see if these are worth anything? You know, God,

154
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: I've got boxes and boxes and junk like that. You

155
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: can imagine this stuff. Would you consider yourself a pack

156
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: red Do you have trouble getting rid of stuff a

157
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: little bit? Yeah? No, I'm not a hoarder by any

158
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: stretching imagination. And the only things I would get would

159
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: be like all the parapherne from my career. Yeah, I

160
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: mean I got it, But like the trophy for MVP

161
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. I'm pretty sure it's up there somewhere.

162
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 1: It's in the attic. Yeah, oh my god, right, so

163
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: that's where we're at. I don't think I've still got

164
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 1: it out. Oh oh so it was out for a

165
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: short time and a short time. Yeah, but that was dude,

166
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: is nineteen ninety three. I realized that, I mean nobody

167
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: you know, and believe me, that it's a piece of acrylic.

168
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: It's not you know, it's not like silk. It's not right.

169
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, the things a block of acrylic

170
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: that wasn't Yeah, So I mean it's nice. And they

171
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: got to save money on this trophy because the guy's

172
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: getting a car. Yeah the guy. Yeah, the guy last year, Yeah,

173
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: he got the Cadillac. This Special Teams guy won it

174
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: this year. Let's give that guy a block of acrylic

175
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: plastic with a metal in it or something. You know,

176
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,599
Speaker 1: I think the average Bills fans that would be like,

177
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: oh my god, Steve's got that thing in the attic

178
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: that's got to be in a case somewhere. Um so

179
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: a lot of that. So you put that stuff away

180
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: saying okay, well, I know I don't want to get

181
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: rid of this, but I'm just gonna put this here

182
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: for now. And the next person is going through your

183
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: belongings after your death, well, and they're like, very often

184
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: is this what get no dumpster? This is a crylic.

185
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: We don't need this dumpster. What's the damn McGuire trophy?

186
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: What that? You know, it's like that's probably from high school.

187
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. Yeah, it's not worth anything, which

188
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: is which is what my grandmother did with my dad's

189
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: cards from like the fifties, and every still laments to

190
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: this day all the that is themazed cards that you know,

191
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: the Williams was his favorite player, and he had like

192
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: dozens of Willie Mays cards. He's Mickey Mantles. They're all gone.

193
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: And that that is the oldest story as old as

194
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: card collecting is. That's that's the story that you hear

195
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: from everybody. That is card Memorabilia's version of a fish story.

196
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: That's correct is Oh yeah, I had ten of those,

197
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: five of those. I got this one in a pack,

198
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: like the Mickey Mantel Rookie card you got in a pack. Yes,

199
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: it was still in the pack. It's just got it's crazy. Yeah,

200
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: it's an amazing but in popularity right and well, and

201
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: that's because we're in this pandemic with This past year

202
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: has been wild for everybody, and you know, I think

203
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: our culture took a hit. And and also you know,

204
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of kind of an enlightening about

205
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: for everybody about you know, some of the stuff you

206
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: kind of find yourself doing when you do have free time,

207
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: like going through your house and getting rid of stuff

208
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: and and doing stuff and changing stuff and building and

209
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: doing doing it. You're doing it Yourselfers were going crazy

210
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: during the pandemic, I heard, and we get a little

211
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 1: bit of that at our house. I mean, yeah, I

212
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna build a patio, right, yeah, I'm gonna

213
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: go out and chop wood for a minute. I get yeah, well, yeah,

214
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 1: I remember when you did that. It's crazy. I here

215
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: abs dynamite the next all the way I remember that.

216
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: So it's been But now as the as we talked

217
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 1: about this being a Monday morning, first day of March,

218
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: the calendar's clicking away and almost and everybody's you know,

219
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: we've got to be exited March ninth. Here, Yes, we've

220
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: got a exited March ninth. That's got three or was

221
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: it three or four vaccines now out three three vaccines anyway,

222
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: and people are starting to get in line, and that

223
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 1: the only problem with people getting it is getting it here,

224
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: you know, getting in line most vulnerable first. And they

225
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: worked down there, worked away through that. I mean, that's

226
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: just that's the thing. Now, it's just waiting. You have

227
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 1: you have a daughter in Alaska, right, that's right. Did

228
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: you see the report, the Alaska is the most efficient

229
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: state in vaccine distribution in the entire country, best performing

230
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 1: state in terms of getting the vaccine out and distributed.

231
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: Let me just say this, Okay, largest land mass of

232
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: all the states, by far, Alaska is the most spread

233
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: out people Alaska is by far, Alaska is the size

234
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: of the United States lower forty eight west of the Mississippi,

235
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: and there's not even a million people up there. Spread out,

236
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: spread out, most, the most of any state in the Union,

237
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: and the most remote. There are places you can only

238
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: get to by seaplane, roads, state capital. Nothing. You can't

239
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: drive to the state capital. So how the hell are

240
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: they kicking butt well better than anybody else. Oh, here's why.

241
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: There's only three places you gotta go, and you get

242
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: eight of the population, right, Anchorage, Juno and someplace else

243
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: maybe Fairbanks, fair Banks. But to their to their credit,

244
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: there are people that can't get to the village health

245
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: center for lack of a better term, and they're they're

246
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: traveling to them. Yeah, they're going door to door. That's

247
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: how they do the mayor momobiles. Yeah, that's why they

248
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: do the mail people. Yeah. Yeah, I was like, I was,

249
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: I was like clapping I will say this for Alaska,

250
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: and when you go up there and visit I've been

251
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: up there a ton, and there is a sense always,

252
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: particularly when you get out away from the cities, like

253
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: we're talking about from away from fair Banks and Juno

254
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: and Anchorage, when you get out into the rule, I

255
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: say rule, but their village is everywhere the final frontier.

256
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: Right when you get out away from that, there is

257
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: a real sense of we're in it together because if

258
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: one of us makes a mistake, it's life threatening. So

259
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: you gotta be ready to go and say no, no, no no,

260
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: I got fire with or I got it, I got

261
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: an extra week of food for you. Here, here's some

262
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: say whatever. So there's a real sense of I got you,

263
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: I got a snowmobile, I'm coming, or I'm you know,

264
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: I'll take my seaplane, my floatplane, I'll be there in

265
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: two hours, that there's this big kind of you got

266
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: to look out for people where they're gonna die, because

267
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: that's how rough it is up there. In some of

268
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: these places. It's remote, so that there is that about

269
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: their culture that would lend itself to them getting it

270
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: done at a little bit quickly. It was a fascinating

271
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: report because I mean the news reporters traveling on this

272
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: snowmobile with the guy that's delivering the vaccines and this

273
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: blue bag. I mean, it was just it was amazing.

274
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: Just door to door, Like it's not like a suburban

275
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: block that you have here in Orchard Park. Steve, think like,

276
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: door to door means snow moomobile, deliver vaccine, inoculate back

277
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: on the snowmobile. Half hour snowmobile ride to the next house. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

278
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: Well here's the thing too, That's that's an amazing job.

279
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I gotta take my hat off to them

280
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: up there. That's a great job. It is a great job.

281
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: But think about this, who are those people gonna contaminate?

282
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: There's nobody out there. Well that was the funny thing

283
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: because in the report they were also talking about the

284
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: Spanish flu. You know, one hundred years ago it wiped

285
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: out villages up there. Yes, they lost sixty percent of

286
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: their population, like the Inuit community and you know the

287
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: Eskimo community, they lost like sixty percent of their population.

288
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: It's a story that's been passed down generation to generation.

289
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: Here we are one hundred years later, and they are

290
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: taking it. They took it extremely seriously. They put villages

291
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: on lockdowns. They had giant snow snowplow trucks blocking the

292
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: only road in and out of towns to keep people

293
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: from leaving. Yeah, that's they don't mess around. That's the

294
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: power of or history of a country and a nation

295
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: and a region like Alaska. They that was amazing. They

296
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: passed that down. They believe it. You know, that's that's

297
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: that's something because you know, you think about where we're

298
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: at now and where we've been um and hopefully where

299
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: we're headed. Just there's some people, I get it. There's

300
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: some people who don't know about that. They're not sure

301
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: about the efficacy of the vaccast. There's a lot of

302
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: people that will climb over broken glass to get it. Yeah,

303
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I just I don't know. I don't think

304
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: enough people know enough about Alaska generally to really kind

305
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: of respect that. But I mean, like I said, you

306
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: got a daughter that lives up there. My dad was

307
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: in the service during in the late sixties up there

308
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: with the whole Russian threat and everything, so I know

309
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: a little bit. But just knowing the landmask that it is,

310
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: how spread out those people are, and they are performing

311
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: the best of any state in the country. It is

312
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: fascinating to me, and yeah, I recommend everybody visit there

313
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: because it is oh beautiful. Mind but I've never been there,

314
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: but I mean it is beautiful, mind blowingly vast, mind

315
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: blowingly it goes and it's you can't believe how big

316
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, you can't believe it. It's unbelievable. It's great.

317
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,919

318
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: like a nice that's just a spot of the pandemic

319
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: and they're a kicking butt up there, and good on

320
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: them for doing it. Um. But I guess that goes

321
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: to show you know, when you live in a rugged area,

322
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: it makes you rugged and you get the job done.

323
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: And so good on them for doing that. Uh. Some

369
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: of my childhood. That that's right, And that's what you

370
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: think about you know what I mean, Like you don't

371
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: know the person personally, but you know him and he yeah,

372
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 1: and he represents, as you said, like a part of

373
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: your childhood. So probably you've probably experienced this too, and

374
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: I have certainly here in Buffalo being part of that

375
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: team that I was part of in the nineties and

376
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: then being the CBS guy and then doing this and

377
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: kind of making Buffalo our home for the last thirty

378
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: plus years. People who have never met you, I feel

379
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: like you're part of the family. And I got treated

380
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: like that. I well, it has been a huge, awesome

381
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: experience to be treated like that by people in Buffalo.

382
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: Earth Cross was like that with the entire country, Like Phyllis,

383
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: George Brier, those guys get treated because of that, the

384
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: vibe of that show. If you saw earth crossing an

385
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: airport back then, you just will go up and talk

386

Speaker 1: like one of the guys because you know, people know him. Yeah,

391
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: and it's it's a great phenomena. I've experienced it here

392
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,920

393
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,919

395
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,600

400
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: in in Vegas all the time every day. I think, yeah,

401
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,000

407
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna ask somebody if they can pull up

408
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: Kevin in Buffalo. So let's pull up Kevin in Buffalo.

409
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: Who's got a card collector? Comment here, Kevin? What do

410
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live. How's

411
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: it going? So? I was hoping I can get some advice?

412
00:21:55,480 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: Oh boy, for myself. Yeah, okay, well yeah, I don't

413
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: know if you know what card breaks are, but I

414
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: was in a card break the night of the Baltimore

415
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: Ravens Sells playoff game, and Josh Allen is legitimately my

416
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 1: favorite player ever. I mean, I just think sky is

417
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: the limit for him. But long story short, I a

418
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: tremendous odd then like randomly drew the Buffalo bills in

419
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: this break and then randomly pulled one of a kind

420
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, rookie patch Atto, and I have no idea

421
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: what to do with it. You can, ye, yeah, you

422
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: can very easily go online and at least get a

423
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: sense of what its value is and then it's and

424
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,959
Speaker 1: then it's true value is going to depend on what

425
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: it's graded at. Obviously a ten is the best great

426
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: a card can get. And I know PSA is like

427
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: the most pot pular grading card company that people send

428
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: their cards to to get graded. I'm gonna warn you

429
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: though it's not cheap. It's like fifty bucks of card

430
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: to get graded. The demand has gone through the roof.

431
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: And Steve he's talking about they actually have these events

432
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:21,479
Speaker 1: where they break open a box case of cards and

433
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 1: they do like random drawings where they basically it's like

434
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: it's like dealing out playing cards, like really, this is

435
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: what you draw out of the out of the pack

436
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: or out of the box. Or they might say, all right,

437
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: we got a box of unopened packs of cards. Here's

438
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: your pack, here's your pack, here's your pack, and you

439
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: basically open up and see what you get. And some

440
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: guys even do that online with video, like they host

441
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 1: like they go on YouTube and they basically say all right,

442
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna open pack blah blah blah. From nineteen ninety seven,

443
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 1: you know, they have like some unopened box that they

444
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: bought online somewhere. I could say, let's see who we

445
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 1: got and blah blah, we got the like my son

446
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: watches those watches. That is completely I had no idea

447
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: what you're talking. It's like a big thing, I'm telling you.

448
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: And Kevin just said it, and Kevin, we thank you

449
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: for the call. He just said it. He just became

450
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: a collector. I'll bet it was pandemic induced, like what

451
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: else are you doing? Wow? What else are you doing?

452
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: So these guys kind of there's like all this suspense involved,

453
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: you know, like but they use like random formulas to

454
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: determine your draft order where you pick a card or

455
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: there's a whole different way that they do it. But

456
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: they used to. They had this thing at the Pro

457
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 1: Bowl they used to do where I think I remember

458
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: this right. They'd give you a binder and it would

459
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: be the card of every guy on the team. Yeah,

460
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: and he's a binder. You open up. It's got like

461
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: a photo album and I've got all those guys cards

462
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: at yah sitting already slotted in there, and yeah they here,

463
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: So I was that's kind of cool. Yeah. Um, So

464
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 1: what a collector would do is they camp out at

465
00:24:58,240 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl and try to get all those things signed.

466
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: You know, right, I'll be like, oh, here's Steve Tasker.

467
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: Pull it out, pull it out, you know. Yeah that happens. Yeah,

468
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 1: that happens a lot. Yeah, it's the Pro Bowl. Yeah,

469
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: it was better when it was in Hawaii, agreed, because

470
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 1: there's only like fifteen a few of them were of them. Yeah,

471
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: and then you go to Orlando. These days, there's time

472
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: to get a thousand people at every practice. There's more

473
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: people at the practices than there is the game. So

474
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: it's interesting, um, and it'll be interesting to see where

475
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: it goes once we kind of get back to normal,

476
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: you know, And they didn't even know what he was saying.

477
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: A break party, Yeah they have now, I don't know

478
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: if he actually I would assume they'd have to get

479
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: in a group to do that in person, or maybe

480
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: the guy maybe during this pandemic. You get a box

481
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: and you ship out packs to everybody and then you

482
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: all get online on zoom together and you open them up.

483
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,239
Speaker 1: But I got the you know whatever. I've never been

484
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: part of that, but you know, I still my break

485
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: party was going to the local stationery store, right, getting

486
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: a pack of cards for twenty five cents and throwing

487
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: the stick of gum in my mouth while I kind

488
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: of thumb through what I got and what I what

489
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: I wanted to keep, and what I might track to

490
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: a buddy or funny too. Because you get back then

491
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 1: say you're say you're hearing Buffalo or here in Long

492
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 1: Island or whatever. You pick out and you get all

493
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: baseball there. So all right, So so you get a

494
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: baseball you know, pack of baseball cards. Three of the

495
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 1: guys on the in the pack, you'd never know who

496
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: they were, those guys, and you couldn't you couldn't even

497
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: look them up. There's no internet, no, I would say.

498
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 1: When I was twelve or thirteen, that's when they started

499
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: coming out with these little magazines you'd get at the

500
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: same stationary store, you know, Beckett's Card Collector's Guide, and

501
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: it would tell you the approximate value of this card

502
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 1: in this card, in this card, and hand them all

503
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: because all the cards are numbered on the back for

504
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: every year, and that's how you would look it up

505
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: back then. Now it's all online, just that and the

506
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 1: other one it's created, and yeah, it's crazy, but yeah,

507
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: it's a it's a a business unto itself, that is

508
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: almost And Panini is the company that's you know, affiliated

509
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: with um the NFL now and they do all the

510
00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: Panini NFL printing. They're an Italian based company that is

511
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: worth like a couple of billion dollars because of the

512
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: European soccer They sell these European soccer sticker players. They're

513
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: not cards, they're stickers and you put them in an

514
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: album and huge value for those like they became a billionaire, billion,

515
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,719
Speaker 1: two billion dollar business just off of European soccer player stickers.

516
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: People are stupid, so then they've kind of come over

517
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: to the States in the last ten twelve years. People

518
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: are crazy now they ain't don't collect anything. Man, I

519
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: guess I guess that's where it is. I mean, I

520
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: still sign things and they're that's crazy. That's where it is.

521
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: There is. Let me just undercut the value of my

522
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: own signature. That's right, that's I'm telling you. Man. If

523
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: I could get now, it's big because you know you're

524
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: sitting at home. What else If I could get paid

525
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: for every time I signed my autograph? Oh, I got

526
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: an endless supply, right, as long as I've got a

527
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: good left hand which I signed with. Well, if you're

528
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: getting paid for it, you signed with your right hand too.

529
00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 1: Forgets the difference. Right before we go to the break, though,

530
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: we want to get to our Twitter poll. We got

531
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: off on a tangent there and we just kept and

532
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: Kevin helped us the phone call. But we wanted to

533
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 1: take a look at the upcoming Bills twenty twenty one

534
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 1: regular season schedule for a couple of reasons. There are

535
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: going to be intriguing things that kind of come down

536
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 1: the pike this fall that are going to be different.

537
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: Presumably Peter King in his Football Morning in America column,

538
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: which comes out every Monday, was talking about the possibility

539
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: of two Christmas Day games this year with Christmas being

540
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 1: on a Saturday. There was one Christmas Day game this

541
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: past season and it blew the ratings up. So the thought,

542
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: the prevailing thought, is they're going to double up on

543
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: that to take advantage of those ratings. So there's a

544
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: very good chance there will be two Christmas Day games,

545
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: knowing it as a Saturday. A Monday night football playoff

546
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: game has been floated out there. Knowing that you now

547
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: on wild Card weekend have a total of six games,

548
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: not four. The thought is have two games on Saturday,

549
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: three on Sunday, and then one on Monday night for

550
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Because the National Championship game for college football,

551
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: which is why they've not put a playoff game wild

552
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: Card weekend on Monday night previously, is now a week

553
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: earlier than where the wild Card weekend would fall. Because

554
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: Peter King was also talking about with a seventeen game

555
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: schedule coming in, they'll push the start of the season

556
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: back a week to get past the Labor Day weekend

557
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: where they hate the schedule games because they figure everybody's

558
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: having their last barbecues outside and not watching football. I

559
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: would argue on Labor Day weekend people would watch football.

560
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: Is am I crazy? Why is that such a mental

561
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: block for the networks And because they've they've seen historical

562
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: proof that people don't it is bad. Yes, a back

563
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: when I came into the league, we always played on

564
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: Super on Labor sekend, so they were like, going, nobody watches.

565
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: That's why the Tasker plan gives everybody a bye week

566
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: on label. I know, but they don't, say Peter King

567
00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: was saying, they don't want to do that. They don't

568
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,479
Speaker 1: want to put a buy in there, which you know,

569
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: start the season two weeks early, as you're saying started

570
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: in started August twentieth, have two weeks before Labor Day

571
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,959
Speaker 1: natural bye week week three for the entire league. You know,

572
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: you go dark for a week and then come back

573
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: player remaining fifteen games and everybody gets there by spread

574
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: out through there over the next eight ten weeks. Presto chango,

575
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: it should be eighteen games instead of seventeen two. So yeah,

576
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: I don't know that they're there yet, but they're going

577
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: seventeen is going to have perfect And it looks like

578
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,959
Speaker 1: based on the original plan for the seventeenth game that

579
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: AFC teams will host the additional seventeenth game this season,

580
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: NFC teams would host next season. So, on our Twitter

Speaker 1: with the NFL schedule in twenty twenty one? Is it

584
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: the AFC teams hosting that seventeenth game, is the possibility

585
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: of two Christmas Day games or a Monday night football

586

Speaker 1: with one reverse engineer. Yes, Okay, say the one I

599

Speaker 1: one you find most intriguing. We'll find out why Steve

608
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: is not a huge fan of that Monday night football playoff.

609
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: When we return here on one Bills Live, presented by

610
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: Collid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome to actually

611
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: one Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you here

612
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: on a Monday, and we are talking NFL schedule twenty

613
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: twenty one, knowing that changes are coming. There will be

614
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: seventeen regular season games, which probably means one less at

615
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: least preseason game, and there is the prospect of two

616
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: games on Christmas Day with Christmas falling on a Saturday.

617
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: And there's a possibility of a Monday night playoff game

618
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: at the end of wild Card weekend which now has

619
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: six games. That wasn't wild Card weekend awesome this year?

620
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: Three games on Saturday, three games on Sunday. That was

621
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: just it was. It was like chock full of nuts

622
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: football lapping it up and because it's always great football,

623
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: right and that I mean it helped that the Bills

624
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: were part of it, but still like for sure, but

625
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: still that was just all those games just I couldn't

626
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: take my eyes off any of them. Well, and it's

627
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: like you've said before, I remember you saying this as

628
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: we were going into Wildcard weekend. Very often it's the

629
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: best playoff weekend of football the entire postseason because of

630
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: the differing circumstances. You have some teams that have had

631
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: their foot push to the floor for the last six

632
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: weeks just to get there, right, and now they're just

633
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: they're running on pure adrenaline going into that game. And

634
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: then you have these other teams that have kind of

635
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: had their spot locked up and now they got to

636
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: revet back up again, and just the differing dynamics of

637
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: the team's efforts to get to that point. Yeah, that

638
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: makes it so compelling because there's always or usually such

639
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: a big run up to get in or waiting on

640
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: who you're gonna play, or that that lull before you

641
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: actually know, and here it comes, so that both teams

642
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: hit it. One team's running on adrenaline and they got

643
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: lightning in a bottle and they are They're coming in

644
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: at a thousand miles per hour with no breaks. Babe,

645
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: They're going. They're trying to bend the three. They're everything.

646
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: They're like all in the other team has been waiting

647
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: for this for however long they knew they were in.

648
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: Who the hell are we playing? They were like, finally,

649
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: let's go. So you get two teams like that. That's

650
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: great and that we saw that this week this last

651
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: season in wildcard weaking great football. I remember it being

652
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: great football and those all six teams on each in

653
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: each conference were just crushing it. Yeah, it was great.

654
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: Um that which is why I'm surprised Steve that you

655
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: say not all that thrilled with a Monday night wild

656
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 1: card playoff game, which apparently is on the table and

657
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: a possibility for this coming playoff season. I think it

658
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: would be. No, I don't what takes away. What is

659
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 1: what is it subtracting from the experience for you? It's

660
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: just an extra wait for another you know, two fan bases.

661
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: Think about it, if it was Buffalo trying to wait

662
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: through that whole weekend to get to your team all

663
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,399
Speaker 1: the way to Monday, all the way to Monday night.

664
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: Because there's a part of me that thinks coaches wouldn't

665
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: mind it at all. Extra day to prepare. Um. Yeah,

666
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: your team might get a little antie way this week

667
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: next unless of a day next time. But if you're

668
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: one of those teams it's had their foot on the

669
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: gas for six weeks just to get there, just to

670
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: have an extra day to exhale a little bit, kind

671
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,439
Speaker 1: of regroup, rest up. I don't know that they would

672
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 1: hate that. Yeah, but you know, and it's not in here.

673
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: Let me just get play off Football's awesome and I

674
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: don't really care about all that, but I was, you know,

675
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: in perspective, I was putting it in context of our

676
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 1: Twitter poll because you were having trouble finding a favorite thing.

677
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: That's two Christmas Day games. Yeah, I love that unless

678
00:35:55,480 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: you're working it, yeah right, But for everybody else, somehow

679
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: get your family in the stadium. It's the best, right

680
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: getting you know, Christmas Day games. Let's do it. An

681
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: AFC teams host the additional games that they're going to

682
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: AFC NFC. This year it's AFC next week year it'll

683
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: be NFCFC hosts this year Coasts, which means it'll be

684
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 1: an extra home game for the AFC. Next year, it'll

685
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 1: be an extra home game for the NFC. That kind

686
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 1: of thing for me, I think that's my second one.

687
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,479
Speaker 1: I think that B is the one I would choose

688
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: in this Twitter poll. What makes it so intriguing for you?

689
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 1: Just well, the fact that I like two Christmas Day

690
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: games better than forcing the league to put meaningless out

691
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: of conference games at Week seventeen or Week one, whatever

692
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: week they're gonna put that in there. I like the

693
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: way that and I don't know that they'd be forced

694
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: to do that, but this year they would, right, So

695
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: all those seventeen, Week seventeen or Week eighteen games, I

696
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: guess it would be now the Week eighteen games for

697
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: the seventeenth regular season game to get in are gonna

698
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 1: be like those out of conference rights, which is very

699
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: peculiar because you know, at least that's how it's been

700
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: proposed here. It's it's been proposed that every team's last

701
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: game of the season is going to be that cross

702
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: conference seventeenth game against the NFC Division that you played

703
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: two years ago. So, without getting too deep in the

704
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: weeds here, for the Bills this fall, they played the

705
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: NFC East two years ago, twenty nineteen, and they would

706
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: have to face the team from the NFC East that

707
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: won the division this year, because the Bills won the

708
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: division this year, so first versus first, and that would

709
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: be Washington, which would be a pretty good draw. Quite frankly,

710
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the best division winner you could ask

711
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: to play against because they were seven and nine last Well, yeah,

712
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,919
Speaker 1: I mean that way, but you know, talking that way, Yeah,

713
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: there's no guarantees that you're gonna win that game, but

714
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: that it's better than playing Kansas City, right or Green

715
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: Bay we got we got Kansas City too. But I

716
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: don't know, I'm I'm wondering if I don't know, if

717
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: I guess what I was getting at with that Week

718
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: eighteen against a cross conference team, which for the Bills

719
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: would be Washington and it would be here in Buffalo.

720
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: Number one. We've seen the efforts by the league in

721
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: recent years to purposely put division games at the end

722
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: of the season Week sixteen to avoid teams resting starters

723
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: because if you're playing a division opponent, there's a better

724
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: chance that the game is going to mean something in

725
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: terms of the final standings, playoff seating, etc. If you'll

726
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: put this game in week eighteen and the Bills are

727
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 1: twelve and four, it's going to be a snooze fest.

728
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 1: There's a very good chance that coachman Dermott and his

729
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 1: staff are going to be sitting people in week eighteen

730
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: if they don't need the game. They did it in

731
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: Week seventeen this year. So it's hard to because you

732
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 1: can't anticipate who's gonna be good, who's gonna be bad.

733
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: But I think you have a better chance of it

734
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: when you keep those as division games. So I wonder

735
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: where they wedge that game in. Maybe it's not Week

736
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: eighteen for fear of that very scenario of you know,

737
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: players sitting and it's not an entertaining I thought, well,

738
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 1: they haven't got the schedule is far from fixed now right.

739
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: I mean, they have no dates, so they can put

740
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 1: they even move the Super Bowl back with back a week.

741
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 1: We can get into that too, because as you know,

742
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: they're into Valentine. As you know, I have very strong

743
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: opinions about how the schedule should look. Yes, we should

744
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: have eighteen games. To those like, can't we get you

745
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: on that committee? Because I'm I'm a nobody. We got

746
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,760
Speaker 1: a lot of phone call. Who is it, Harold Katz?

747
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: If you don't even care what I have to say

748
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: about this hole? Do? I find it very I think

749
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: it's great. They like your idea. Eighteen games. Sign that

750
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: games before Labor Day. Labor Day, everybody's out off. Everybody

751
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 1: gets to all of us, the civilians of the United

752
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: States get their week away from football. They can go

753
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: out and do their campouts, cookouts, all that stuff on

754
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: Labor Day week and then we're back into the NFL

755
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,280
Speaker 1: season week six weeks. Would Week four of the season

756
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,280
Speaker 1: take off on the regular sixteen game schedule with buys

757
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: sprinkled in? Love it? Now? The second thing about that

758
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,919
Speaker 1: that makes too much sense? That's great. Now here's another

759
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,439
Speaker 1: one that makes a ton of sense. Okay, you've thought

760
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 1: about this. It should be Super Bowl Saturday, not Super

761
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: Bowl Sunday. Oh I think I remember you're saying mentioning

762
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,959
Speaker 1: this once. It should be super Bowl Saturday, not Super

763
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: Bowl Sunday. Because nobody wants to go to work next day. Yeah,

764
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,879
Speaker 1: nobody wants to do that. Nobody wants to And even

765
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: people the hundreds of thousands of people who go to

766
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: the game in the city would be able to get home,

767
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: they could. Yeah, they want a day to get home.

768
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: They don't want to have to take that. You know

769
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: that that next day eases up on you a little bit,

770
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 1: you know. I mean it's like, ah, and for everybody

771
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: else around the country too. You get a chance to

772
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: celebrate for a full day without going to work, or

773
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: commiserate for a full day without going to work. Yeah,

774
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,720
Speaker 1: and it just and you got two weeks before it anyway,

775
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's nothing that twenty four hours should

776
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: be tacked on right after the game. Well, I mean,

777
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 1: let it be known here I will sign the Tasker

778
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 1: Scheduling petition if it, if it comes to fruition and

779
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: it exists on paper, I will be the first signature

780
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: on the bottom. I telling you it's the way they

781
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: should do it, because they get eighteen games and if

782
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: and they can, the Players Union will throw a fit

783
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: over it. Bro Just buy them, just buy them. Give

784
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: them an extra percentage on the on the Given that

785
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: extra percentage, they finagle to try and get rosters a

786
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: little larger, create more jobs, throw in and like they

787
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: did this last year, throwing a few more jobs, throwing

788
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: the one percentage point on the total gross to the players,

789
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 1: the revenue and presto chain you get, they get an

790
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 1: extra week off in there. Yeah, and you know obviously

791
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: preseason's only two games. Yep, I mean Colelee, come on, man,

792
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: it's a no brainer. It's a win win, win, win win.

793
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: You heard it here. I'm on. I got plan as

794
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: Paul Newman and Butch casting the Sundance kids. I got

795
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: vision and the rest of the world needs bifocals. There

796
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: you go. Let me just look at that and put

797
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 1: my laying it down on a Monday Steve put my

798
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 1: glasses on as I say, love it. I got vision

799
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: and the rest of the world needs bifocals that that

800
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: scheduling needs to happen. I am, I am not a

801
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Saturday at an eighteen game Saturday. I think

802
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: might be a tough, tough pull for you. But I

803
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: like everything else. I like everything else. I understand the

804
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 1: logic behind Super Bowl Saturday, but I just think it's

805
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: so entrenched as Super Bowl Sunday. I don't know that

806
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: it's the NFL. Come on, man, If there's a nickel

807
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 1: to be made, though, they'll do whatever they want. True,

808
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 1: very true. All right, we're up against the break. Dennis

809
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, Hang tight. We we'll get to you after

810
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:57,320
Speaker 1: we return. As we are talking NFL schedule twenty twenty

811
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 1: one and the intriguing changes that could become down the pike.

812
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 1: We want to know which one you find most interesting.

813
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:05,359
Speaker 1: Hit us up on the tweet sheet of one bills

814
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: live or give us a call eight oh three five

815
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: fifty one, eight five fifty two, five fifty or if

816
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: you have anything free agent wise you want to discuss two.

817
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: We are open for business there as well. What what

818
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 1: what we are hearing breaking news that J mr Watt?

819
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:28,280
Speaker 1: What is this? JJ Watt may have made his decision?

820
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 1: Hold onward, Oh, come off it. I don't know if

821
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 1: I'm buying this. Adam Schefter is putting a picture that's

822
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: just tweeted a picture out of JJ Watt in a

823
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: he says he's signing with the Arizona Cardinals. JJ Watt

824
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 1: is signing with the Arizona Cardinals. Per well, J. They're

825
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: sourcing J. J. Watt because on his Twitter feed he's

826
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:58,919
Speaker 1: got a photo of an Arizona Cardinal shirt. So wow, Okay, Well,

827
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:02,320
Speaker 1: we'll see how valid this is in the minutes that follow,

828
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: but we will take a break here and return and

829
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: see if we can get any more clarity on that.

830
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 1: But it seems pretty clear when he takes a photo

831
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 1: and says source me. We'll get back with more on

832
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: the JJ Watt situation here as it unfolds on One

833
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,760
Speaker 1: Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

834
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: Welcome back to One Bills Live. Christ Round Steve Faster

835
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 1: on a news breaking Monday in the NFL, as JJ

836
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: Watt has apparently decided he is going to sign with

837
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. He just tweeted that out about two

838
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: minutes ago, three minutes ago, and it's a two year deal.

839
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: According to NFL Network, See and Rappaport were thirty one

840
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 1: million dollars, twenty three of that guaranteed, so he is

841
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 1: indeed going to make fifteen and a half million provided

842
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 1: he sees the end of the contract and pretty good

843
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: pass rushing tandem now in Arizona with JJ Watt and

844
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones, who's coming off an injury shortened season but

845
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: is expected to be back and healthy next year. But

846
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 1: those two guys on opposite edges from one another, that's

847
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: that's not a bad tandem to go to battle with

848
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: in the NFC West. Bills obviously won't see him in

849
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: any way, shape or form, unless you know, the Cardinals

850
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,839
Speaker 1: and the Bills are in the super Bowl. So there

851
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: it is. He's off to Arizona. Where does that leave

852
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 1: you as a Bills fan? Disappointed? Okay with it? We

853
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: want to know and too much money? Well we'll go

854
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 1: to uh yeah, well yeah, we'll go to Dennis and

855
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo to lead us off. Here, Dennis, what do you

856
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: have for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Yeah, Hi, guys.

857
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: Uh the Tree Tree Watt not signing with Buffalo is

858
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,839
Speaker 1: not a bigod deal for me. First of all, because

859
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 1: of his age. It's gonna be thirty two. He only

860
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 1: had five sacks last year. The thing I was going

861
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 1: to suggest as a free agent scenario is to maybe

862
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: sign if they could, Cincinnati's Carl Lawson. He's sixty younger.

863
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: He'll be cheaper than J. J. Watt certainly, and he

864
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: seems like he'd have a longer shelf life. I'd also

865
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: like to I have a little scenario here. I hope

866
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: you don't hope you have the time to listen to it.

867
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:28,800
Speaker 1: Rather than paying Mitch Morse eleven million dollars and it

868
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 1: was even benched for a game this year, they could

869
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 1: sign Feliciano for lesson that move him the center. My

870
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: whole purpose of this whole conversation here is I really

871
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: want to get back Darryl Williams, and I know that

872
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: might not be possible. But you guys probably already know this,

873
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 1: but Pro Football Focus has said that he was ranked

874
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 1: as the fourth best passing game right tackle in the

875
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: league last year. And since our offense is mostly a

876
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: passing offense, I don't think Josh Allen, certainly myself don't

877
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,400
Speaker 1: when I see him go anywhere else. I'm wanting to

878
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 1: get your opinion. Yeah, yeah, I get it. Darryl Williams

879
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: is in line to make good money on the free

880
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:15,959
Speaker 1: agent market. The problem is, as you mentioned, the Bills

881
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: are tied against the cap, and they would have to

882
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: make some tough decisions, potentially parting ways with other players

883
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: to get somebody in here or get somebody resigned, and

884
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 1: you raise the possibility of the Bills cutting Mitch Morse

885
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: and then resigning both Feliciano and Williams. With that newfound

886
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:39,240
Speaker 1: cap room that Morse would offer you, I would tend

887
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: to think, Steve, and you can tell me if you

888
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 1: feel differently, I would tend to think they would go

889
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 1: to Morse and try to restructure the deal. And the

890
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:51,720
Speaker 1: reason I say that is, as you've pointed out, forty

891
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 1: percent of your starting offensive line is no longer under contract.

892
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: If you want those guys back, you're going to have

893
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: to make some concession somewhere else, either by lopping heavy

894
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: cap salaries completely off the roster, restructuring, or both. You

895
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 1: may have to do both. I would be inclined to

896
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: think that addition by subtraction is not the way that

897
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 1: they want to go on the offensive line because of

898
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 1: how much turnover there could potentially be there to begin with.

899
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 1: As we have pointed out, five of the nine offensive

900
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: linemen that we're on this roster this past season, their

901
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 1: contracts are up, so to subtract another one who's already

902
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: under contract, I would tend to think restructure is the

903
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,800
Speaker 1: path that they might choose with Morse. First, they'll try

904
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 1: and they Here's the thing that what they do next

905
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: is gonna say a lot about where their philosophy is

906
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 1: going to take them, whether if they start to restructure guys,

907
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: for instance, if they restructure Mitch Morris, if they restructure

908
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 1: John Brown, if they restructure Vernon Butler, Quentin Jefferson or

909
00:48:55,480 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 1: Mario Addison, or if they restructure t Star Lotulelea. Again,

910
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 1: they've got to do something to get under the cap,

911
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 1: because they're over it now. How they do that is

912
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:09,320
Speaker 1: going to tell you a lot about what their philosophy

913
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 1: is going to be. If they can get Mitch Worse

914
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: to restructure, great, they need to do something pronto before

915
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:23,399
Speaker 1: free agency starts to get under the cap. How they

916
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 1: do that is going to tell us a lot about

917
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 1: where they're gonna go this offseason, because if they start

918
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: just releasing guys, that tells you one thing. If they

919
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:34,879
Speaker 1: start restructure them, it'll tell you another. If they start

920
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: cutting guys, they're gonna free up a lot of cap

921
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:41,720
Speaker 1: space if they but those guys aren't coming back. Yeah,

922
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: I mean the top four cap hits on the roster

923
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty one, Trudevious White, who just signed an extension,

924
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs who just signed an extension, Dion doc Well Diggs,

925
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 1: Reid did his deal, Dawkins who just signed an extension,

926
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 1: and then there's Mitch Morse at ten point three four million.

927
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 1: I think restructure is probably the way they try to

928
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: attack at first with Morse. If that doesn't go anywhere,

929
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:05,280
Speaker 1: well then maybe some different decisions and more difficult ones

930
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:07,840
Speaker 1: will have to be made. Break time for us. But

931
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: David Akron, David and Wheatfield hang tight. Will get to

932
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 1: you and other callers holding at eight oh three five

933
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: fifty when we return here on a JJ Watt goes

934
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:21,319
Speaker 1: to Arizona Monday on One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health.

935
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:36,760
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Hello Bills Radio Network, Sports Update,

936
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 1: Your sports Update from One Bill's Drive. JJ Watt has

937
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,799
Speaker 1: decided on his second NFL club. It will be the

938
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. Watt making the announcement on his Twitter account

939
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: just minutes ago, wearing an Arizona Cardinal's T shirt with

940
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 1: the tweet source me it's a two year deal for

941
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:57,839
Speaker 1: Watt where thirty one million dollars, twenty three of which

942
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 1: is guarantee the FL may finally get its expanded schedule

943
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. According to NBC Sports Peter King,

944
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,879
Speaker 1: a seventeen game schedule is highly likely, with the league,

945
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: scheduler and TV partners working under that assumption. The NFL

946
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 1: also does not want to start the season Labor Day weekend,

947
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 1: meaning that the extra week will be played at the

948
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 1: end of the season, pushing the playoffs back the week

949
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,800
Speaker 1: with the Super Bowl being played in LA and likely

950
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 1: to happen on February thirteenth. Among other changes that could

951
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 1: be coming to the schedule the possibility of a Monday

952
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:31,720
Speaker 1: night Wildcard game and two Christmas Day games the seventeen

953
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 1: game schedule. The AFC would host those games this fall,

954
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,400
Speaker 1: and if so, that means the Bills would host the

955
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 1: Washington football team. Ian Rappaport from the NFL Network said

956
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: the Washington football team expected to part ways with quarterback

957
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 1: Alex Smith in the coming days. The ap comeback player

958
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: of the Year a city still wants to play and

959
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:53,720
Speaker 1: at age thirty six, should have a few suitors. Smith

960
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 1: suffered a gruesome leg injury back in twenty eighteen, underwent

961
00:51:56,600 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 1: seventeen operations to repair and save the leg from amputation

962
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 1: missed all of twenty nineteen before coming back in twenty twenty.

963
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:05,840
Speaker 1: He posted a five and one record as a starter

964
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 1: this past season. Forty nine Ers GM John Lynch said

965
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:11,840
Speaker 1: recently he has no doubt that a healthy Jimmy Garoppolo

966
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,919
Speaker 1: will be the team's starting quarterback in twenty twenty one,

967
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:18,720
Speaker 1: but added that Garoppolo's injury history means that the team

968
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 1: has to have better options to back him up than

969
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: they did last year. Joseph Person of the Athletic reports

970
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 1: that the forty nine Ers called the Panthers about a

971
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 1: potential trade for Teddy Bridgewater, and following back to back

972
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 1: shutout losses, the Sabers will return to action tomorrow night

973
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 1: when they visit the New York Rangers. That is your

974
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 1: sports update from One Bill's Drive Chris Brown Steve Tasker

975
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: our number two of a Monday edition which got turned

976
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:46,479
Speaker 1: on its head just minutes ago when J. J. Watt

977
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 1: announced that he has signed a two year, thirty one

978
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: million dollar contract with the Arizona Cardinals, a team that

979
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: finished five hundred last season. He sees them as a

980
00:52:56,560 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 1: contender going forward. Clearly he has rejoined his former Texans team.

981
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 1: Ain't DeAndre Hopkins in the desert and off they go

982
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 1: out in Arizona next year with JJ Watt and Chandler

983
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:12,800
Speaker 1: Jones coming off opposite edges. That's a good pass rush. Yeah,

984
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 1: that's an upgrade. But I think we can agree this

985
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: ventured into a price range that the Bills were not

986
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 1: going to go. Yeah. Fifteen million a year, no way? Yeah, yeah,

987
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 1: sixteen point five on average, although if he plays in

988
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:29,439
Speaker 1: all sixteen games this season, they guaranteed him twenty three million.

989
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: Report goes, so if they if he plays this season

990
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 1: and they cut him, it's a seven million dollar cap

991
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 1: hit next year. It looks like something like that. So

992
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how much a bonus is of the

993
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 1: bonus it is, but that'll be pro rated. Yeah, that's

994
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: it's a lot of money. It's a lot of money. Yeah,

995
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,359
Speaker 1: we want to know what you think. What will not

996
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 1: be a Buffalo Bill? Are you broken up about it?

997
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 1: Do you not really care? Do you see better options

998
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 1: on the free agent market? Anyway, We don't want to

999
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 1: know you're taking it three five fifty, So be sure

1000
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:02,439
Speaker 1: to hit us up there or on the tweet sheet.

1001
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 1: We'll take any and all comers. We go to the

1002
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 1: phones and David in Wheatfield. David, what do you have

1003
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:11,480
Speaker 1: for us here? On one Bill's Live. Hi, guys, I

1004
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 1: had two things. Actually, Bill kind of stole my funder.

1005
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 1: I'm I'm ecstatic that Watt signed with Arizona. I did

1006
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 1: not think that that was a good move for the Bills.

1007
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 1: I mean, J Watt is not JJ Watt anymore. I

1008
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: mean I'm in my car, so I can't really look

1009
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 1: at up, like when's the last time he played a

1010
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:30,359
Speaker 1: full season or had double digit sacks. I'd rather see

1011
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:32,839
Speaker 1: the Bills if they if they were able to scare

1012
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 1: up that kind of money, I'd rather see them spend

1013
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 1: it on retaining Feliciano and Darryl Williams and maybe Matt

1014
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 1: milano I, or you know, getting a young guy coming

1015
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 1: off off of his rookie contract, you know, Edge Rusher.

1016
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:50,319
Speaker 1: That's what I would like to see happen. And the

1017
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: other comment I wanted to make was I am one

1018
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:56,840
Speaker 1: hundred percent on board with Steve's idea about Super Bowl Saturday.

1019
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 1: And my question to Steve is, if you pick up

1020
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: the phone right now and call Roger Goodell, is he

1021
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:07,840
Speaker 1: gonna pick up and say this is gonna pick up

1022
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 1: that call. He might with ten thousand petition signatures, he's

1023
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: get going, Steve, He's probably not gonna pick that call up.

1024
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 1: Although I am staking claim to be signature number one

1025
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 1: on the petition. But David, you can be signature number two.

1026
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 1: I'm telling you that, right. It's get it going. It's

1027
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:28,880
Speaker 1: uh yeah, No, he's not gonna pick up call up.

1028
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:32,359
Speaker 1: I appreciate the thought. But if you're if you're you're

1029
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,240
Speaker 1: talking about when JJ, what he played in all sixteen

1030
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,440
Speaker 1: games last year but he only had five sacks? He

1031
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 1: said the way you said it, Dave was when was

1032
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 1: when was the last time he played sixteen games or

1033
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: had double digit sacks? That was last year? He played

1034
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:51,240
Speaker 1: sixteen games, but played sixteen games and had digit double

1035
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 1: digit sacks? Um seven years now, aren't it's been a while.

1036
00:55:55,120 --> 00:56:00,879
Speaker 1: It's been a while. Let me just here we go, well,

1037
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: well you look that up. I'm gonna go back to

1038
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 1: the phones here and we'll get to that in a second,

1039
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 1: and we'll go to another Dave, Dave in Akron, what

1040
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 1: do you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live, Dave. Yeah,

1041
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 1: I think with this fifteen million that we're nat Spana

1042
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 1: it's a good thing, right, Um, I think, well go ahead, No, no, no,

1043
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: go ahead. I was just saying I'm agreeing with you.

1044
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:28,359
Speaker 1: We you know, we we should be able to sign

1045
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 1: Feliciano and Williams with part of that, I would think

1046
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 1: or restructure and part of that, Um, I don't know

1047
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:38,960
Speaker 1: if we got enough to cover what Marma's gonna ask. Yeah,

1048
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 1: but yeah, I think we gotta get Williams back. Yes,

1049
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 1: I would. It sounds like a plan yeah to me. Yeah,

1050
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I agree with wholeheartedly. The offensive

1051
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:54,879
Speaker 1: lines where you gotta start. That's where your biggest hole

1052
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 1: in free agency is. You're gonna lose some guys. And

1053
00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 1: as always, the Bills are going to try and get

1054
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:02,359
Speaker 1: a full roster put together during free agency. That means

1055
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 1: offensive line, defensive line, everybody. They're gonna have all their

1056
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 1: guys to go during free agencies so that when the

1057
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 1: draft comes, they can draft the player that has the

1058
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,400
Speaker 1: best chance to have the best pro career, no matter

1059
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 1: what his position is. That's the philosophy. So you can

1060
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 1: look for him before free agency and maybe even during

1061
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:22,440
Speaker 1: free agency to get into a position financially where they

1062
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 1: can fill the holes in the roster that they're gonna

1063
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 1: have that they have now with the guys they're losing,

1064
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 1: and then they'll get to where they hopefully to where

1065
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:33,520
Speaker 1: they can. They don't go into the draft with three

1066
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 1: offensive linemen that they've got. They got to have to

1067
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 1: draft five offensive linemen. Yeah, and I think we have

1068
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 1: to be careful with this too. I think Bills fans see, Okay,

1069
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 1: j J. Watt signed for fifteen and a half million

1070
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 1: a year in Arizona. That means the Bills didn't want

1071
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 1: to pay fifteen and a half million on him. Where

1072
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 1: are they going to spend that fifteen and a half million.

1073
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: You can't apply the contract value that JJ Watt agreed

1074
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,919
Speaker 1: to in Arizona and Zome that the Bills were going

1075
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 1: to spend that amount of money on him, decided not to,

1076
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: and now we're going to spend that money somewhere else.

1077
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 1: They can't spend fifteen and a half million right now

1078
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 1: because they're about five million over the cap. So to

1079
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 1: spend that level of money, they're gonna have to make

1080
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 1: cuts or restructures elsewhere on the roster to make spending

1081
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 1: that kind of money happen, whether it's on one players,

1082
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 1: two players, three players, two callers ago. David from Wheatfield ask,

1083
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: you know, when was the last time he had who

1084
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 1: played all sixteen games and had double digit sacks. Well,

1085
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 1: it wasn't that long ago. It was twenty eighteen. He

1086
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 1: played in all seventeen weeks and he had fifteen point

1087
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 1: five sacks, So that was a pretty good year for him.

1088
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 1: And that was obviously a playoff year for the Texans

1089
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 1: as well. They started out oh and three and then

1090
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 1: ran off a string of one, two, three, four, five, six,

1091
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 1: seven eight nine straight wins after starting oh and three,

1092
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 1: and then they went win loss win to finish the season.

1093
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 1: So they were eleven and five that year, ahead of

1094
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs in twenty and eighteen, and JJ had fifteen

1095
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 1: and a half sacks playing every week, So good on him. Yeah,

1096
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 1: So he's played sixteen games in two out of the

1097
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 1: last three years, and I think his his play is

1098
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 1: likely to be enhanced with Chandler Jones being on the

1099
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 1: other side. I mean, you're not gonna be able to

1100
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 1: double him on every play, right, So I think his

1101
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 1: value is enhanced by the fact that they have a

1102
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 1: high end pass rusher on the other side. To begin with. Yeah,

1103
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 1: JJ's injury problems were in two thousand and sixteen, in

1104
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 1: two thousand and seventeen, where he played a combined eight

1105
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:45,240
Speaker 1: games in those seasons, three in two thousand and sixteen

1106
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 1: and eleven in two thousand and seven, or no, I'm sorry,

1107
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 1: three in two thousand and sixteen and five in two

1108
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 1: thousand and seventeen, and then he's been pretty good. Two

1109
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 1: out of last three years he's played every game with

1110
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 1: seven game season sandwich between him. So he's actually been

1111
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 1: pretty good in the last couple of years. But he

1112
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:06,960
Speaker 1: hasn't been getting younger, he's been getting older. One of

1113
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 1: our first callers did also mention carl Lawson. He believes

1114
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 1: that he is a younger and better option from a

1115
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 1: defensive end position. And you know, he is coming off

1116
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 1: a solid season, not spectacular, not a huge sack guy,

1117
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 1: but always gets, you know, somewhere around a half dozen sacks.

1118
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:27,440
Speaker 1: His rookie season, he got eight and a half when

1119
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 1: he was lined up opposite Carlos Dunlap, who, as we know,

1120
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 1: went to Seattle in a trade I think it was

1121
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 1: a trade right at the end of the season there

1122
01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 1: and went up there for a playoff run. And he

1123
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 1: is now to a free agent, but he's thirty years old.

1124
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 1: Carl Lawson is only twenty five or twenty six years old.

1125
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,600
Speaker 1: I believe coming off a five and a half sacks

1126
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 1: season with two forced fumbles, also had a thirty two

1127
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,640
Speaker 1: quarterback hits. I think in some of the advanced metrics,

1128
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 1: Lawson ranks very high in terms of quarterback pressure rate.

1129
01:00:57,640 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 1: I think he's up very high. But twenty sacks in

1130
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:02,760
Speaker 1: his career, his best coming in his rookie season when

1131
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 1: he was a rotational player but had eight and a

1132
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 1: half sacks. He was a situational pass rusher as a rookie.

1133
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 1: He's a little bit undersized. He's one of those long

1134
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 1: limbed players. He isn't always six two long arms sixty

1135
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 1: five Yeah, and um yeah, playing a obviously, playing beside

1136
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 1: Carlos Dunlap was a huge plus for him. But has

1137
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 1: played really well when he's been in sole time starter

1138
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:31,920
Speaker 1: this year for the first time in his fourth season,

1139
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 1: and he you better believe he knew it was a

1140
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:36,439
Speaker 1: contract year, so it's not like he wasn't going hard.

1141
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 1: Started eleven games and had five five and a half sacks.

1142
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, he's um yeah, I would agree you Carl

1143
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 1: Lawson is not going to get fifteen and a half

1144
01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:50,440
Speaker 1: million dollars one free. But I'm saying this, we may.

1145
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 1: I think we might have to get our heads around

1146
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 1: this defensive front coming back virtually intact, with the exception

1147
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:02,040
Speaker 1: of Matt Milano. I think that is true as long

1148
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:06,439
Speaker 1: as the coaching staff comes to the conclusion that this

1149
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 1: group together will be better in year two. If they

1150
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 1: are not convinced of that, they could very well shuffle

1151
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:16,160
Speaker 1: the deck again. Yeah. I mean, we think about the

1152
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 1: people that were checked out and people that checked in

1153
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:24,520
Speaker 1: last offseason. Jordan Phillips Shack Lawson out, and then you

1154
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:28,880
Speaker 1: had and Star Lotula out via opt out, and then

1155
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:34,640
Speaker 1: on the way in Vernon Butler, Quentin Jefferson and Mario

1156
01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:38,400
Speaker 1: Addison and then the draft choice aj Epenessa. So four

1157
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 1: in and three out. I think if this coaching staff

1158
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 1: and this front office believe they have to make changes

1159
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 1: again to make the front four more effective in getting

1160
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterback, just with the four, which is

1161
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:55,439
Speaker 1: a core principle of this defensive system, we could see

1162
01:02:55,480 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 1: similar turnover because the price tags of the guys they

1163
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:04,320
Speaker 1: just brought in are pretty steep, right, and if they're

1164
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:07,080
Speaker 1: not convinced they can get better production out of them

1165
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 1: in year two. I think the very real possibility exists

1166
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:13,840
Speaker 1: that they will shuffle the deck again up front. They've

1167
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:19,760
Speaker 1: got they spent some serious money positionally on the defensive

1168
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 1: line last year. Addison's got a ten million dollar hit,

1169
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:26,200
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes has got a nine point four million dollar hit,

1170
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 1: Jefferson Jefferson eight million, Vernon Butler seven point eight eight million,

1171
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 1: and Starlo two last seven point six and at Oliver's

1172
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 1: five point three. That's a lot of money to be

1173
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 1: spent on one position sixty or top eleven salaries, and

1174
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 1: that to defensive alignement. You need to see it, and

1175
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 1: maybe you're right. We don't know. Yeah, we don't know.

1176
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 1: We won't know until we see cuts being made, right.

1177
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: We don't know what the coaching staff feels about these guys.

1178
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:54,520
Speaker 1: What was the reason why it took them so long?

1179
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:57,240
Speaker 1: Did they come together, did they begin coming together in

1180
01:03:57,280 --> 01:03:59,280
Speaker 1: the second half of the season, did they play better

1181
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 1: and why? And is it going to continue? Can they

1182
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:06,840
Speaker 1: get better? Are they gonna be more motivated in their

1183
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 1: second year because of their contract situations or some guy's

1184
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:13,400
Speaker 1: going to be getting to the end of it. You know,

1185
01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 1: what are the thoughts of the coaching staff about where

1186
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 1: these guys stand. Even so, having said all of that,

1187
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 1: even if they love all these guys and they think

1188
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 1: they are just a whisker away from being the best

1189
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 1: defensive front in football, let's say that's the case, they

1190
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 1: still got to find money to pay some offensive linemen.

1191
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:37,240
Speaker 1: They still gotta do something financially. They have They could

1192
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 1: love these guys, all of them, they still and we're

1193
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:42,760
Speaker 1: just pointing at them because there's that many, well guys there.

1194
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 1: They gotta go to the volume problem. Yeah, they got

1195
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 1: to go all over their roster to find guys who

1196
01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:51,280
Speaker 1: will re reconfigure their contracts so that the Bills can

1197
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 1: get under the cap plus actually sign offensive linemen because

1198
01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:58,080
Speaker 1: they don't have anybody, right, So what you have, they

1199
01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 1: don't have enough guys. In my eyes, here are your

1200
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:04,880
Speaker 1: two prime candidates. Okay, Mitch Morrise has a cap figure

1201
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 1: of ten point three four million this year. He has

1202
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 1: two years left on his contract. I think he is

1203
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:14,880
Speaker 1: a prime candidate for a restructure. Okay, Mario Addison has

1204
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 1: a ten million dollar cap hit and he has two

1205
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 1: years left on his contract. And this is going to

1206
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:24,440
Speaker 1: be his age thirty four season, he is ripe for

1207
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 1: a restructure, or you know, it's a cutthrow business. I mean,

1208
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 1: I'm not trying. I'm not trying to lop anybody off

1209
01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:35,120
Speaker 1: the roster. I'm just trying to work with the numbers

1210
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 1: we have in front of us. And I think, unless

1211
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:41,080
Speaker 1: I like Mario Addison as a player, but I think

1212
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 1: the cutthrow nature of this business may prompt, as Brandon

1213
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:49,880
Speaker 1: Bean stated, difficult decisions ahead. Actually, yeah, the problem is

1214
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:55,680
Speaker 1: this that unless they get one hundred percent total cooperation

1215
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:58,640
Speaker 1: from every guy who they want to restructure, need to restructure,

1216
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:03,040
Speaker 1: they they're gonna have to throw some guys off the train. Yeah,

1217
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:04,560
Speaker 1: you know, that's just the way it is. I mean,

1218
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 1: the rules dictated the financial structure, the league dictates it

1219
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 1: because because they got blindsided by a pandemic cap Yeah,

1220
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars is gone off the top off their

1221
01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:21,480
Speaker 1: bottom line, and that they would have they would have

1222
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:25,320
Speaker 1: over twenty five million to spend on these guys if

1223
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:27,400
Speaker 1: it was a normal year, normal cap here. And you

1224
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:30,560
Speaker 1: are overloaded at the defensive line position in terms of

1225
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:33,280
Speaker 1: high cap figures. So something's gonna have to be done

1226
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:37,240
Speaker 1: to address that. So you can address, as Steve pointed out,

1227
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 1: the dearth of numbers that you have on your offensive

1228
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 1: line with five players contracts up on that side of

1229
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:51,200
Speaker 1: the ball. So in this pandemic reduced cap scenario in

1230
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:54,880
Speaker 1: which the Bills find themselves, you are literally going to

1231
01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:57,760
Speaker 1: have to rob from Peter to pay Paul. So you're

1232
01:06:57,800 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 1: gonna have to balance out your lines a little bit

1233
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:03,280
Speaker 1: more effectively in terms of your cap structure. To get

1234
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 1: the people back. You need to properly protect Josh Allen,

1235
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:11,680
Speaker 1: which this just ind is job one. Protect that guy.

1236
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:16,800
Speaker 1: That's right, I mean, are you kidding me? They Well,

1237
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:20,040
Speaker 1: that's not even a conversation. That's just pure and simple fact.

1238
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 1: You have to sacrifice to make that happen. You've got

1239
01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 1: to sacrifice to make that happen. Your skill position players

1240
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 1: are set, and you've got to be really happy with

1241
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:30,920
Speaker 1: how they're playing and what and what the word and

1242
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 1: the way you're looking going forward. Do you say what

1243
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:39,680
Speaker 1: you want about John Brown? They've got enough quality skill

1244
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 1: players at wide receiver and running back and tied in

1245
01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:45,720
Speaker 1: to make this thing work. As they did this last

1246
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:48,160
Speaker 1: year they were I was going back and looking at

1247
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:51,880
Speaker 1: some games that last month of the season, they were unstoppable,

1248
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 1: so you feel good about that, but they've got to

1249
01:07:56,320 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 1: have an offensive line, and I you know they they

1250
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:04,560
Speaker 1: did it this year with a top flight offense and

1251
01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:09,280
Speaker 1: a middle of the road defense. Two years ago they

1252
01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:12,760
Speaker 1: did it with an okay offense, middle of the road

1253
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:17,720
Speaker 1: offense if that, and a top flight defense. It was

1254
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:22,680
Speaker 1: just the rules were absolutely reversed this last year. I

1255
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:24,160
Speaker 1: don't know what it's going to look like this year,

1256
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:27,000
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you this. I like my chances with

1257
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:30,680
Speaker 1: the guy taking snaps, and you need to take care

1258
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:34,880
Speaker 1: of that guy. I mean I, which is why you

1259
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:37,559
Speaker 1: probably that gives me a ton of angst. Yeah, well

1260
01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 1: that's why you probably did not see the Bills still

1261
01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:44,280
Speaker 1: in the bidding for JJ Watt at fifteen and a

1262
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 1: half million dollars a year. I would venture to guess

1263
01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 1: that once it got over eleven twelve million dollars in

1264
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:52,320
Speaker 1: terms of an asking price, that the Bills said, well,

1265
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:54,800
Speaker 1: you know, we'd love to have him, but it's a

1266
01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:57,000
Speaker 1: little too rich for our blood in terms of where

1267
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:59,759
Speaker 1: we sit on the cap. So this is an example

1268
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:04,479
Speaker 1: of the fiscally responsible decisions that the Bill's front office

1269
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:09,040
Speaker 1: has made under GM Brandon Bean. They don't chase players

1270
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 1: and overpay. That's not what has been part of their

1271
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:17,320
Speaker 1: formula for success. And you want to stay a contender

1272
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:20,400
Speaker 1: on a perennial basis. These are the decisions you make.

1273
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,920
Speaker 1: The ones you don't make sometimes serve you the best

1274
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:27,360
Speaker 1: in terms of remaining a contender year over year. And

1275
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 1: this is probably the latest example. But let us know

1276
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:31,880
Speaker 1: where you're at. Are you disappointed that J. J. Watt

1277
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:34,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't come here at a bargain price to truly join

1278
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 1: a contending team? Did you have other players in mind anyway,

1279
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:40,599
Speaker 1: so you're not too bent out of shape about it.

1280
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:43,400
Speaker 1: We want to know where you're at. Knowing JJ Watt

1281
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 1: is now headed to the Arizona Cardinals to play for

1282
01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:48,439
Speaker 1: the next two seasons at fifteen and a half million

1283
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:51,240
Speaker 1: per open line for you at eight oh three five

1284
01:09:51,360 --> 01:09:54,960
Speaker 1: fifty one eighty eight, five fifty two, five fifty. We're

1285
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:57,920
Speaker 1: also talking free agency in general, so if you have

1286
01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 1: a better plan laid out there, some of our callers

1287
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 1: have said, fix the offensive line. You got too many

1288
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:06,080
Speaker 1: free agents over there, Get the guys resign that you

1289
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:09,000
Speaker 1: want back, or venture into the market and get some

1290
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:11,840
Speaker 1: other holes. Some other players to plug some holes. So

1291
01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:13,559
Speaker 1: let us know where you stand on that as well.

1292
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:17,639
Speaker 1: Eight oh three, five fifty one, eighty eight fifty two,

1293
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:21,759
Speaker 1: five fifty. Everybody's got their favorites in free agency, Steve,

1294
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:24,840
Speaker 1: I just find it interesting that what jjat, what the

1295
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:30,679
Speaker 1: JJ Watts sweepstakes sparked, was Bills fans looking at other

1296
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:33,960
Speaker 1: options on the free agent market and defensive end. And

1297
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:41,280
Speaker 1: I wonder if the Bills make subtractions before they make additions,

1298
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:43,000
Speaker 1: because if you're going to make additions on the free

1299
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:46,840
Speaker 1: agent market, they're almost gonna have to make subtractions because really,

1300
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:50,920
Speaker 1: even if they take the step first of restructuring, you

1301
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:54,280
Speaker 1: don't want to do that to any great degree. You

1302
01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:59,960
Speaker 1: really only want to restructure one, maybe two guys maximum three,

1303
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:04,360
Speaker 1: because all you're doing is pushing your problem down the road. Well,

1304
01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:05,960
Speaker 1: I don't think you want to do that to the two,

1305
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:08,840
Speaker 1: two or three players unless you've got guys who you

1306
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 1: think have it a lot of good years ahead of them. Well, right,

1307
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:15,200
Speaker 1: and you're banking on the cap getting back to where

1308
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:17,920
Speaker 1: it previously existed, so you have the room to stomach

1309
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:21,639
Speaker 1: those going to and the Caps go think, but that's

1310
01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:25,240
Speaker 1: the that's The real question is you got to restructure

1311
01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:28,400
Speaker 1: a guy who you think is either going to give

1312
01:11:28,400 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 1: you one more good year or like four more good years.

1313
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:36,640
Speaker 1: You know what I mean restructuring these guys really is

1314
01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:38,679
Speaker 1: they'll do it. Most of them will do it because

1315
01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:42,200
Speaker 1: it puts money in their pocket, right now, you know

1316
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:45,280
Speaker 1: what I mean. They convert like if if you're Mario

1317
01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:48,720
Speaker 1: Addison and you've got twenty million dollars left on your contract,

1318
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:51,800
Speaker 1: and they and it's a ten million dollars this year

1319
01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:54,760
Speaker 1: and ten million the next year, they may give you

1320
01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:59,240
Speaker 1: fifteen of it this year and five five of it

1321
01:11:59,360 --> 01:12:01,559
Speaker 1: next year, right and and give it to you as

1322
01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:05,400
Speaker 1: a bonus so that that becomes a manageable cap hit

1323
01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 1: and then there's nothing next year. That's what you're talking about.

1324
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:12,000
Speaker 1: Or they give you they convert everything this year into

1325
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:15,479
Speaker 1: a bonus and throw everything into the back end of

1326
01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:17,559
Speaker 1: the contract, so you really you kind of know that

1327
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:19,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna get this year and they're gonna release you

1328
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:23,440
Speaker 1: next year. Yes, and we will mention also the options

1329
01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:26,479
Speaker 1: that exist on Tradevious White and Dion Dawkins contract that

1330
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:29,800
Speaker 1: our guest Joel Corey, former NFL agent, now works for

1331
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 1: CBS Sports pointed out to us as well. We'll get

1332
01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:34,880
Speaker 1: to that in a second, probably in our next segment,

1333
01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:37,200
Speaker 1: because we want to get back to the phones, and

1334
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 1: we go to Tom in West Seneca. Tom, what do

1335
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:44,200
Speaker 1: you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live, Chris Steve,

1336
01:12:44,360 --> 01:12:47,800
Speaker 1: thanks for having me. Well, first of all, really disappointed

1337
01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 1: we didn't J J. Watt. I would have sworn we

1338
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:55,439
Speaker 1: were going to end him. And the thing it is, Yeah,

1339
01:12:55,720 --> 01:13:00,880
Speaker 1: forgetting it's this game. It's a business. It's all about anyway.

1340
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:05,200
Speaker 1: But JJ Watt probably has two good years left in him.

1341
01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:09,280
Speaker 1: And if he's dreaming a Bowl ring with Arizona, I

1342
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:12,800
Speaker 1: think you should forget about that. Right. Uh, he's in

1343
01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 1: all probabilities a millionaire already. If he could have taken

1344
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:21,080
Speaker 1: ten million, came came with, came to these, I think

1345
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:23,840
Speaker 1: he in all probability would be getting a super Bowl

1346
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:30,920
Speaker 1: ring this year or next year. So but point but J. J. Watt,

1347
01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:34,599
Speaker 1: it was money has a very loud voice in this game.

1348
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:38,720
Speaker 1: And you know, like I said, a super Bowl ring,

1349
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:41,479
Speaker 1: you get that, you go to the super Bowl. You're

1350
01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:46,040
Speaker 1: talking about big time endorsements. But he's gone. If that's it,

1351
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:52,599
Speaker 1: we have to move on. Point it's a business at

1352
01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:57,920
Speaker 1: more anyway. Yeah, thanks great, Thanks Tom, appreciate it, and

1353
01:13:57,880 --> 01:14:01,439
Speaker 1: I'll sell you this. You're right. I mean it's hard

1354
01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:03,439
Speaker 1: to pick a horse. I mean some of these guys,

1355
01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:05,280
Speaker 1: they get credit for doing it. Last year when all

1356
01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:07,000
Speaker 1: those guys signed with Tampa Bay because they want to

1357
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 1: play with Tom Brady, the I thought they could make

1358
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:10,920
Speaker 1: it run him and they did. Tip tip your hat

1359
01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:14,160
Speaker 1: to him. That's a hard thing to do. It looks

1360
01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:16,400
Speaker 1: easy when you've done it, but that's a hard thing

1361
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 1: to do. JJ Watts saying he wants to win. Believe me,

1362
01:14:19,479 --> 01:14:23,160
Speaker 1: I get, but he also wants to he also wants

1363
01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:25,280
Speaker 1: to make a lot of money. He's you think about

1364
01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:28,880
Speaker 1: what Arizona's looking like right now. They've got JJ Watt

1365
01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:33,880
Speaker 1: and DeAndre Hopkins who are guaranteed fifty four million dollars

1366
01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 1: over the next two years twenty one and twenty two.

1367
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:38,760
Speaker 1: Fifty four million dollars to two players over the next

1368
01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:41,439
Speaker 1: two years. I don't think that's the way to build

1369
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:46,120
Speaker 1: a championship, right And you know, not only that, among

1370
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:53,519
Speaker 1: your free agents for the Cardinals include Patrick Peterson, who's

1371
01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:58,240
Speaker 1: probably not coming back. Hassan Reddick is obviously not coming back.

1372
01:14:58,240 --> 01:15:00,880
Speaker 1: Now that you've addressed your pass rush in the form

1373
01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:04,360
Speaker 1: of JJ Watt running back Kenyan Drake a free agent,

1374
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:07,519
Speaker 1: they're probably not in a position to pay a running back,

1375
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:11,160
Speaker 1: even one that's twenty six years old, big money to

1376
01:15:11,240 --> 01:15:14,840
Speaker 1: bring him back. So yeah, they're in a tricky spot here.

1377
01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:17,160
Speaker 1: They put a lot of their eggs in the JJ

1378
01:15:17,280 --> 01:15:21,439
Speaker 1: Watt basket and it may work, but if it doesn't,

1379
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:26,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a tough go of it here. You know,

1380
01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:29,320
Speaker 1: he misses five six games playing in that NFC West.

1381
01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:32,639
Speaker 1: That's not an easy division, man. I mean, Russell Wilson

1382
01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:35,559
Speaker 1: is still in that division as of now. Matthew Stafford

1383
01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:39,599
Speaker 1: is now in that division. I think they're a team.

1384
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:42,719
Speaker 1: You look at the NFC West, very competitive division. No question,

1385
01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:47,240
Speaker 1: Cardinals were third in that division. So you're telling me

1386
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 1: that team and only because San Francisco had an injury

1387
01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:52,640
Speaker 1: riddled roster this year. San Francisco's not gonna be right.

1388
01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:55,080
Speaker 1: So all that that's the team that finished. Later, you're

1389
01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:57,840
Speaker 1: gonna think that Arizona is going to take a step forward,

1390
01:15:57,880 --> 01:15:59,600
Speaker 1: go from third to first in their own division, not

1391
01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:02,960
Speaker 1: only their own division, but also go deep in the playoffs.

1392
01:16:04,120 --> 01:16:06,519
Speaker 1: In a year where the team that was in the

1393
01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:09,240
Speaker 1: Super Bowl two years ago is getting back on track,

1394
01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:10,760
Speaker 1: and the superteam that was in the Super Bowl three

1395
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:13,679
Speaker 1: years ago is getting a better quarterback than they had,

1396
01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:17,639
Speaker 1: and you're gonna JJ's gonna put you over that hump.

1397
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:24,320
Speaker 1: Even at his NFL Defensive Player of the Year best,

1398
01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 1: I think the Cardinals are further away than the Texans

1399
01:16:29,320 --> 01:16:31,760
Speaker 1: were at that time when he was a defensive MVP.

1400
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:34,200
Speaker 1: All Right, we have to take a break, Jerry, and

1401
01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:36,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo will get to you first. After the break, he's

1402
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:39,360
Speaker 1: got an idea on what direction the Bills should go

1403
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:41,920
Speaker 1: in terms of their pass rush. We'll get his thoughts

1404
01:16:41,920 --> 01:16:43,759
Speaker 1: when we return, as we're taking more of your phone

1405
01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:46,960
Speaker 1: calls in the wake of the JJ Watt decision to

1406
01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:49,920
Speaker 1: go to the Arizona Cardinals on a two year deal

1407
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:53,040
Speaker 1: at fifteen and a half per season. Back in a

1408
01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:55,439
Speaker 1: moment here on One Bills Live presented by Kalid to Health,

1409
01:16:55,479 --> 01:17:11,200
Speaker 1: it's Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back to one Bills Live.

1410
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:15,120
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you on a JJ Watt

1411
01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:19,080
Speaker 1: signs with Arizona Monday. How does that leave your Bills fans?

1412
01:17:19,120 --> 01:17:21,599
Speaker 1: Are you broken up about it. Do you not really

1413
01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:24,320
Speaker 1: give two hoots? Do you think there's better options on

1414
01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:25,840
Speaker 1: the free agent market? Would you like to see the

1415
01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:28,360
Speaker 1: Bills spend their money in a different place? Steve and

1416
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:31,400
Speaker 1: I are preferring that they spend it on the offensive

1417
01:17:31,439 --> 01:17:34,000
Speaker 1: line to get their right tackle Daryl Williams back in

1418
01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:37,040
Speaker 1: the fold and Feliciano too. If they can make that happen.

1419
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:39,800
Speaker 1: It's too bad too, because we had one of the

1420
01:17:39,840 --> 01:17:44,960
Speaker 1: all time great Twitter polls going got blown up by

1421
01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:48,960
Speaker 1: j J Watts signing with Arizona. Yeah, we're also taking

1422
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,240
Speaker 1: your phone calls at eight oh three, five fifty. Let

1423
01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:53,599
Speaker 1: us know where you stand on this JJ Watt decision.

1424
01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:57,639
Speaker 1: And as promised, we're gonna lead off here with Jerry

1425
01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:00,559
Speaker 1: and Buffalo. Jerry's got a different eye d on who

1426
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:02,760
Speaker 1: the Bill should pursue to help their pass rush. What

1427
01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:04,639
Speaker 1: do you have for us? Jerry? Are on One Bill's Live,

1428
01:18:07,240 --> 01:18:11,559
Speaker 1: Who Afternoon Fellas. How are you doing? I'm pretty good.

1429
01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:14,719
Speaker 1: I think that there's other ways to get to the quarterback.

1430
01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:17,479
Speaker 1: First of all, are deeper than one. Did not push

1431
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:22,759
Speaker 1: the pocket the note from from the inst Okay, go ahead.

1432
01:18:26,360 --> 01:18:29,479
Speaker 1: I think we should go up to Barton Miller. Right,

1433
01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:33,960
Speaker 1: he's got to get released first. Yeah, he's got he's younger, Yeah,

1434
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:36,960
Speaker 1: he's got to get released first. He's there. The Broncos

1435
01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:39,360
Speaker 1: have a decision to make with the option on his contract.

1436
01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:42,599
Speaker 1: It's widely anticipated they will not pick up that option,

1437
01:18:42,640 --> 01:18:44,719
Speaker 1: which would mean he would become a free agent. Jerry,

1438
01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:48,400
Speaker 1: So you're right, he should be available. The question is

1439
01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 1: at what cost? And I believe he is. I believe

1440
01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:54,680
Speaker 1: he's the same age as JJ wat because they were

1441
01:18:54,680 --> 01:19:00,200
Speaker 1: in the same draft class in twenty eleven. Okay, you

1442
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:01,960
Speaker 1: feel good about Von? You like? What do you like

1443
01:19:02,040 --> 01:19:09,040
Speaker 1: about Von? Better than JJ? He's faster? Okay, Yeah, he's

1444
01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:13,519
Speaker 1: smaller too, He's not more powersible, but he he's faster.

1445
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:21,200
Speaker 1: You gotten more? Um, he's he UM's technique is better. Yeah, Okay,

1446
01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:26,800
Speaker 1: so I'm more. He's just the man, right, So you're

1447
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:30,080
Speaker 1: like you like you think Von is more technique? Sound.

1448
01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:32,120
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I don't know if he's gonna

1449
01:19:32,160 --> 01:19:35,599
Speaker 1: come here for any any any less than JJ. Now

1450
01:19:35,640 --> 01:19:38,080
Speaker 1: that JJ set the market here, he's for thirty two

1451
01:19:38,160 --> 01:19:40,559
Speaker 1: year old pass rusher. He's got a twenty two million

1452
01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:42,840
Speaker 1: dollars cap hit this year. If they keep him. He's

1453
01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:46,000
Speaker 1: only four million if they release him, so he's gonna

1454
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:48,639
Speaker 1: be a no brainers base salary seventeen point five. He's

1455
01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:51,960
Speaker 1: the same player, well, financially, he's kind of the same

1456
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:55,240
Speaker 1: player cost wise, except that JJ played this year and

1457
01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:58,960
Speaker 1: Von Miller didn't know he was out. He had COVID

1458
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:01,880
Speaker 1: in the summer. It took a long time to come

1459
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:04,320
Speaker 1: back from that, and then I can't remember the injury

1460
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:05,640
Speaker 1: that he had. I want to say shoulder, but I

1461
01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:07,679
Speaker 1: don't know if that's right yet. Spot Tracks got von

1462
01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:11,799
Speaker 1: Miller his market value. I'd be about ten point three

1463
01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:15,400
Speaker 1: if you could clear up that money, I'd be fine

1464
01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:18,320
Speaker 1: with that. I don't know that that's where he's gonna

1465
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:21,479
Speaker 1: end up in terms of estimated value should he become

1466
01:20:21,520 --> 01:20:25,120
Speaker 1: a free agent. Yes, I would listen to that. I

1467
01:20:25,120 --> 01:20:26,840
Speaker 1: would listen to that. I don't know that you can

1468
01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:28,920
Speaker 1: get him for that, though, Yeah, because there's gonna be

1469
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:31,040
Speaker 1: somebody well. I mean, he's on the same page as

1470
01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:35,400
Speaker 1: Brandon Graham justin Houston. Jerry Hughes is right there as

1471
01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:38,080
Speaker 1: well in Jason Pierre Paul. What we should remember Steve,

1472
01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:41,280
Speaker 1: as you pointed out, he is coming off a non

1473
01:20:41,400 --> 01:20:45,360
Speaker 1: playing season I would like to think that reduces his

1474
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:47,600
Speaker 1: figure in terms of what he could command on the

1475
01:20:47,600 --> 01:20:49,680
Speaker 1: open market to some degree. Right, I mean it's an

1476
01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:52,519
Speaker 1: unknown he'll be thirty four or I'm sorry, he'll be

1477
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:55,360
Speaker 1: thirty two when the season begins. Yes, he gets he

1478
01:20:55,400 --> 01:20:59,160
Speaker 1: turns thirty two and March or late March, so he's

1479
01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:01,720
Speaker 1: gonna be you know, he's going to be older than

1480
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:05,519
Speaker 1: Pierre Paul, Jerry Hughes, Justin Houston, and Brandon Graham. He's

1481
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:09,360
Speaker 1: older than all those guys. Well, Jerry's thirty two. Hold on, oh,

1482
01:21:09,400 --> 01:21:11,519
Speaker 1: this is when they were signed. Yeah, that's great, right,

1483
01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:14,760
Speaker 1: Jerry's thirty two right now, So he's actually older than Vaughan,

1484
01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:18,680
Speaker 1: who will turn thirty two this month. But yes, I

1485
01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:21,479
Speaker 1: think because he is coming off a season in which

1486
01:21:21,479 --> 01:21:24,160
Speaker 1: he did not play due to injury, that you could

1487
01:21:24,160 --> 01:21:26,560
Speaker 1: probably get him at a lesser price than J. J.

1488
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:29,040
Speaker 1: Watt because there's something to prove there. Who knows. He

1489
01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:31,720
Speaker 1: may even be willing to sign one of those one

1490
01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:34,880
Speaker 1: year prove it type deals at a more affordable price

1491
01:21:34,920 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 1: and then get back in the market next year after

1492
01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:40,640
Speaker 1: hopefully having a productive twenty twenty one. It's exactly what

1493
01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:42,840
Speaker 1: I was thinking too just you know, would you be

1494
01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:46,679
Speaker 1: interested in a ten million Well, how about a seven

1495
01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:49,200
Speaker 1: million dollars deal with incentives to go to eight million?

1496
01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:52,320
Speaker 1: You know, to go fifteen million if you reach incentives. Yeah,

1497
01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:54,920
Speaker 1: I tend to agree with with Mike Jennety from spot Track.

1498
01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:58,080
Speaker 1: You probably have to get to ten well, make two

1499
01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:01,000
Speaker 1: or three million of it pretty easy to right, you know,

1500
01:22:01,120 --> 01:22:03,800
Speaker 1: and then you get him a chance to go to

1501
01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:07,120
Speaker 1: go deep and go go big financially. Yeah, eight oh

1502
01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:09,280
Speaker 1: three oh five fifteen line open for you there. Let

1503
01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:11,880
Speaker 1: us know what you feel about the JJ watts signing

1504
01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:14,760
Speaker 1: with Arizona announcement, which just came down about an hour

1505
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:18,240
Speaker 1: ago when jj Watt tweeted it out himself. We go

1506
01:22:18,280 --> 01:22:20,679
Speaker 1: back to the phones and to Chris and geno CEO. Chris,

1507
01:22:20,680 --> 01:22:22,280
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live.

1508
01:22:24,680 --> 01:22:26,479
Speaker 1: How are you doing, guys good? I just wanted to

1509
01:22:26,479 --> 01:22:29,160
Speaker 1: say I'm not really all that broken up about the

1510
01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:32,320
Speaker 1: Bills not signing j J Watt, especially after at the

1511
01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:34,680
Speaker 1: price he came at. You know, sixty million dollars a

1512
01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:38,600
Speaker 1: year seems like a bit much for someone his age,

1513
01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:42,000
Speaker 1: and agreed, I do, it's too rich for my bloods. Yeah,

1514
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:44,040
Speaker 1: it's definitely too rich for my blood, Chris, I don't

1515
01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:47,000
Speaker 1: have a problem with them backing out of the JJ

1516
01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:49,920
Speaker 1: Watt sweepstakes once the numbers got that high. We saw

1517
01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:55,560
Speaker 1: ESPN's Diana Rassini last week saying that he's getting contract

1518
01:22:55,640 --> 01:22:58,320
Speaker 1: offers in the range of fifteen to sixteen million a year,

1519
01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:01,000
Speaker 1: and that proved to be accurate because his contract with

1520
01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 1: Arizona is at fifteen and a half per on a

1521
01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:07,599
Speaker 1: two year contract. And once I saw that, I said

1522
01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:10,679
Speaker 1: to myself, well, if that's accurate and he is commanding

1523
01:23:10,720 --> 01:23:13,320
Speaker 1: that much on the open market, the bills are out,

1524
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:15,559
Speaker 1: they're not going to pay that kind of money. That's

1525
01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:17,720
Speaker 1: exactly right now. I knew that as well. They don't

1526
01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:20,720
Speaker 1: have the money to pay that much. And that's not

1527
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:24,360
Speaker 1: the characteristic free agent that they not how they do.

1528
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:28,800
Speaker 1: That's not there, that's against their philosophy. Now, I'm not

1529
01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:31,200
Speaker 1: saying that that JJ's not worth it. I'm not saying anything.

1530
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:33,720
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that Levion Bell wasn't worth it, or

1531
01:23:33,720 --> 01:23:35,280
Speaker 1: any of those other guys that the bills have passed.

1532
01:23:35,280 --> 01:23:37,160
Speaker 1: All you saying the bills aren't going to pay a premium,

1533
01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:41,320
Speaker 1: same thing with Khalil Mack. You know the trade that

1534
01:23:41,360 --> 01:23:43,560
Speaker 1: he got when he came off the Raiders roster, in

1535
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:45,960
Speaker 1: which Chicago. I'm not saying those guys aren't worth it,

1536
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:48,240
Speaker 1: but that's not the philosophy that the Bills have used

1537
01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:51,280
Speaker 1: to sign guys and to acquire free agents or guys

1538
01:23:51,280 --> 01:23:55,640
Speaker 1: in trade. So I that was a disqualifier for me

1539
01:23:55,720 --> 01:23:58,320
Speaker 1: in my mind when I heard those numbers that was

1540
01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:01,000
Speaker 1: being that were being bandied about last week, just like you, right,

1541
01:24:01,320 --> 01:24:04,719
Speaker 1: So it's philosophically out of the question for the Bills,

1542
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:06,800
Speaker 1: let alone, even if they had twenty five or thirty

1543
01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:09,120
Speaker 1: million bucks laying around in the cap like they should

1544
01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:12,760
Speaker 1: have by this time. So you look, Steve and I

1545
01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:17,000
Speaker 1: during the break, just for fun, decided to look at

1546
01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:21,479
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals cap structure as it's currently constituted, and

1547
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:25,280
Speaker 1: it is top heavy in a big way. Chandler Jones

1548
01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:28,920
Speaker 1: cap figure for this season is twenty point eight million.

1549
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:32,559
Speaker 1: DJ Humphreys, their left tackle who just signed an extension

1550
01:24:32,720 --> 01:24:37,120
Speaker 1: last year nineteen point nine for a cap figure. Then

1551
01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:41,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna have JJ Watts slot in third at fifteen

1552
01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:45,240
Speaker 1: and a half cap hit this year, followed by DeAndre

1553
01:24:45,360 --> 01:24:47,760
Speaker 1: Hopkins at twelve and a half, and I'm gonna be

1554
01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:51,000
Speaker 1: honest with you, that's a bargain. And he might be

1555
01:24:51,040 --> 01:24:54,000
Speaker 1: looking for more money, but he's guaranteed a ton of

1556
01:24:54,040 --> 01:24:56,000
Speaker 1: money though, even though he's not getting it right now,

1557
01:24:56,040 --> 01:24:59,720
Speaker 1: he's still got a ton of money. And then and

1558
01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:04,639
Speaker 1: then fifth on the list is Jordan Phillips, with a

1559
01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:08,439
Speaker 1: cap figure of twelve million dollars this year after a

1560
01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:11,880
Speaker 1: very disappointing twenty twenty in which I believe he had

1561
01:25:11,880 --> 01:25:16,040
Speaker 1: two sacks, two forced fumbles, and missed a handful of

1562
01:25:16,080 --> 01:25:22,320
Speaker 1: games as well. Could Jordan Phillips be a cap casualty

1563
01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:29,560
Speaker 1: of the Arizona Cardinals and come back to Buffalo. That's

1564
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:32,040
Speaker 1: potential step two. I'm not saying that would happen, but

1565
01:25:33,160 --> 01:25:36,080
Speaker 1: I think there's a possibility that Jordan Phillips could be

1566
01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:39,519
Speaker 1: a free agent sooner rather than later with that cap

1567
01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:44,280
Speaker 1: hit and the investment that they have made now in

1568
01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:50,120
Speaker 1: JJ Watt. I think it's possible because Steve, look at

1569
01:25:50,120 --> 01:25:54,479
Speaker 1: this team's cap construction right now. Your highest cap figure

1570
01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:57,559
Speaker 1: on your roster is essentially a pass rusher. Okay, he

1571
01:25:57,640 --> 01:26:02,559
Speaker 1: plays outside linebacker, but essentially a pass rusher. In Chandler

1572
01:26:02,640 --> 01:26:06,400
Speaker 1: Jones twenty point eight million. Now you've got JJ Watt

1573
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:09,120
Speaker 1: fifteen and a half million. Are you going to pay

1574
01:26:09,160 --> 01:26:11,719
Speaker 1: a defensive tackle twelve million? Three of your top five

1575
01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:13,920
Speaker 1: cap figures are going to be guys that get after

1576
01:26:13,960 --> 01:26:19,479
Speaker 1: the passer. It seems a little upsided. I wonder, I

1577
01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:21,639
Speaker 1: wonder if Jordan Phillips gets back in the free agent

1578
01:26:21,640 --> 01:26:26,000
Speaker 1: market again this year. It'd be interesting, to say the least.

1579
01:26:26,200 --> 01:26:28,880
Speaker 1: It might not be by his own choosing, of course. No,

1580
01:26:29,280 --> 01:26:32,759
Speaker 1: he had his base salary this year was ten million dollars.

1581
01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:35,120
Speaker 1: He had a four year deal with an eight million

1582
01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:37,240
Speaker 1: dollars signing bonus. It looks like they had two million

1583
01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:39,400
Speaker 1: dollars a year and signing brightness four year deal, a

1584
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:43,320
Speaker 1: four year deal, eight million up front and a two

1585
01:26:43,360 --> 01:26:47,280
Speaker 1: million dollars salary this past year which gave him, you know,

1586
01:26:47,320 --> 01:26:50,280
Speaker 1: in his pocket. It was ten million dollars base this

1587
01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:52,439
Speaker 1: year though this year coming year is going to be

1588
01:26:52,520 --> 01:26:56,360
Speaker 1: ten million exactly base salary, and it's pro rated two

1589
01:26:56,400 --> 01:26:58,519
Speaker 1: million dollars of that eight hunt, which is why his

1590
01:26:58,640 --> 01:27:05,240
Speaker 1: cap which is twelve that's right, So he's yeah, that's

1591
01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:08,000
Speaker 1: that's he could be a cap casual it's not a

1592
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:11,640
Speaker 1: good spot for him not being as productive as he

1593
01:27:11,720 --> 01:27:12,960
Speaker 1: would like him to be. I don't know. If he

1594
01:27:13,040 --> 01:27:16,000
Speaker 1: sees twenty twenty one in a Cardinals uniform, well that'll

1595
01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:17,519
Speaker 1: be something to keep our ear to the ground on

1596
01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:20,240
Speaker 1: because if he comes free, I'm signing up for that

1597
01:27:20,280 --> 01:27:23,559
Speaker 1: guy and make him come here on another one year deal. Yeah,

1598
01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:26,160
Speaker 1: he's he's shown, he's shown the ability and the desire

1599
01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:28,400
Speaker 1: to do it. And a lot of these guys are

1600
01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:31,599
Speaker 1: gonna be just like you know, back to where Buffalo

1601
01:27:32,080 --> 01:27:36,080
Speaker 1: spends its time, sign guys who really want to take

1602
01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:39,520
Speaker 1: a swing at the brass ring and get a contract.

1603
01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:42,440
Speaker 1: So bring him in on a one year deal, particularly

1604
01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:45,400
Speaker 1: in a year where it's a constricted cap, and he

1605
01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:48,040
Speaker 1: know everybody knows the CAP's gonna balloon this next year

1606
01:27:48,080 --> 01:27:50,160
Speaker 1: because of the TV contracts and it'll go back to

1607
01:27:50,200 --> 01:27:51,720
Speaker 1: where it is normally. There's gonna be a lot more

1608
01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:54,240
Speaker 1: money on the market and everybody is gonna make a

1609
01:27:54,240 --> 01:27:56,439
Speaker 1: little bit more money. Do you know that Jordan Phillips

1610
01:27:56,479 --> 01:27:59,400
Speaker 1: knows this system? You know he can be productive in it.

1611
01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:02,280
Speaker 1: And one of his best friends on the roster is

1612
01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:04,880
Speaker 1: still here in Star Lutulala and he'll be able to

1613
01:28:04,880 --> 01:28:08,840
Speaker 1: line up with him again in twenty twenty. And he

1614
01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:12,439
Speaker 1: saw how good this team is. He watched it, you know,

1615
01:28:12,439 --> 01:28:15,320
Speaker 1: when the Bills played the Cardinals, even though the Bills

1616
01:28:15,320 --> 01:28:17,000
Speaker 1: didn't win that game, and he saw how far the

1617
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:18,840
Speaker 1: Bill's got. He kept his ear to the ground on things.

1618
01:28:19,720 --> 01:28:22,040
Speaker 1: He and Josh were still tweeting back and forth at

1619
01:28:22,040 --> 01:28:24,320
Speaker 1: each other through the course of the season. So that

1620
01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:27,640
Speaker 1: guy's a cap casualty in Arizona. Sign me up for

1621
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:29,400
Speaker 1: a one year deal on Jordan Phillips. I'd do that

1622
01:28:29,439 --> 01:28:31,000
Speaker 1: in a second, all right, we have to take a break.

1623
01:28:31,280 --> 01:28:34,559
Speaker 1: Bruce and Buffalo has an idea on who the Bills

1624
01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:37,080
Speaker 1: should go after to improve their pass rush now that

1625
01:28:37,160 --> 01:28:39,800
Speaker 1: JJ watts off the market. We'll get to Bruce when

1626
01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:42,479
Speaker 1: we return here on One Bills Live, presented by Kalida Health.

1627
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:57,960
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back to One Bills Live.

1628
01:28:58,080 --> 01:29:02,160
Speaker 1: Chris brown Seed tasker with you talking JJ wat to

1629
01:29:02,400 --> 01:29:08,200
Speaker 1: Arizona signing a two year deal worth thirty one million dollars,

1630
01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:11,800
Speaker 1: a price tag that was obviously too rich for the

1631
01:29:11,800 --> 01:29:13,400
Speaker 1: blood of the Bills and a lot of other teams

1632
01:29:13,640 --> 01:29:15,479
Speaker 1: that were in the hunt for him. That's going through this.

1633
01:29:16,040 --> 01:29:18,240
Speaker 1: I just cannot where what was your ceiling for? Why?

1634
01:29:18,280 --> 01:29:20,880
Speaker 1: What would you have thought? Like what would you have

1635
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:23,639
Speaker 1: been okay with if the Bills signed him? Like if

1636
01:29:23,640 --> 01:29:25,240
Speaker 1: you saw the Bill sign him for two years and

1637
01:29:25,280 --> 01:29:28,240
Speaker 1: thirty one and a half, I've been like, whoa twelve Yeah,

1638
01:29:28,240 --> 01:29:31,360
Speaker 1: that's where I was twelve twelve. I thought, if you

1639
01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:33,760
Speaker 1: could get him for Justin Houston money, because that's what

1640
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:37,240
Speaker 1: the Colts signed Justin Houston for a couple of years ago. Um,

1641
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:39,320
Speaker 1: I just you could have got him for that. I

1642
01:29:39,320 --> 01:29:42,479
Speaker 1: would have been really down on the Cardinals signing him.

1643
01:29:42,479 --> 01:29:44,240
Speaker 1: I you know, not everybody, and you know you read

1644
01:29:44,240 --> 01:29:46,200
Speaker 1: Twitter and the timeline stuff and people are going, that's

1645
01:29:46,240 --> 01:29:49,000
Speaker 1: awesome signed way, he goes smart play. Then they look

1646
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:52,160
Speaker 1: at their salary cap structures. They got some problems there,

1647
01:29:52,560 --> 01:29:55,839
Speaker 1: you know there others. You know, you got the star players,

1648
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:59,920
Speaker 1: but the others they're gonna struggle to fill that roster

1649
01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:02,400
Speaker 1: with guys who can really get it done enough to

1650
01:30:02,479 --> 01:30:05,320
Speaker 1: give their stars a chance to shine. And not for nothing,

1651
01:30:05,400 --> 01:30:09,600
Speaker 1: but Hassan Reddick is a free agent for them, and

1652
01:30:09,800 --> 01:30:11,719
Speaker 1: he's coming off at twelve and a half sack season

1653
01:30:11,800 --> 01:30:16,080
Speaker 1: for them without Chandler Jones on the field. Chandler Jones

1654
01:30:16,160 --> 01:30:19,759
Speaker 1: was hurt for almost a whole year, and Hassan Reddick

1655
01:30:19,800 --> 01:30:21,559
Speaker 1: picked up the slack twelve and a half sacks. He's

1656
01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:25,920
Speaker 1: gonna be free agent and he's only twenty six. They

1657
01:30:25,960 --> 01:30:28,160
Speaker 1: decided to go with what at fifteen and a half

1658
01:30:28,200 --> 01:30:31,720
Speaker 1: million a year instead of that guy. I don't get it.

1659
01:30:31,800 --> 01:30:35,200
Speaker 1: Maybe they keep Hassan Reddick and chuck Chandler Jones. Well

1660
01:30:35,240 --> 01:30:36,880
Speaker 1: he's a free agent now, they got to resign him

1661
01:30:36,880 --> 01:30:38,840
Speaker 1: for big money. How are you doing that? Oh see there,

1662
01:30:38,960 --> 01:30:41,479
Speaker 1: that's the that's there. That's not happening. Reddick's gonna be

1663
01:30:41,560 --> 01:30:43,599
Speaker 1: yes somewhere else. They're gonna know. That's what I'm saying.

1664
01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:46,280
Speaker 1: Sign Reddick for Chandler Jones money and get rid of Jones.

1665
01:30:46,520 --> 01:30:48,880
Speaker 1: Oh well, I mean, I guess you could do that.

1666
01:30:49,200 --> 01:30:50,840
Speaker 1: He's got the highest cap figure on the team at

1667
01:30:50,840 --> 01:30:53,080
Speaker 1: twenty point eight. I guess I suppose that's possible. I

1668
01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:55,360
Speaker 1: suppose that's possible that they can they've found they've got

1669
01:30:55,400 --> 01:30:58,599
Speaker 1: they can live without him. You know. Bruce and Buffalo

1670
01:30:58,720 --> 01:31:00,720
Speaker 1: has an idea for who the Bill should pursue in

1671
01:31:00,760 --> 01:31:03,200
Speaker 1: free agency to help their pass rush. Bruce, what do

1672
01:31:03,240 --> 01:31:06,599
Speaker 1: you have for us? You're on One Bill's Live. Hey, guys,

1673
01:31:06,680 --> 01:31:14,160
Speaker 1: great show. Thanks. I'm looking at Trey Hendrickson from New Orleans. Yeah,

1674
01:31:14,200 --> 01:31:18,920
Speaker 1: he's seventy years old, he's had double judged checks, and

1675
01:31:19,040 --> 01:31:22,920
Speaker 1: he's in a lot better shaped than JJ Watt. And secondly,

1676
01:31:23,080 --> 01:31:25,800
Speaker 1: I'd forget about Matt Mulano because he's going to be

1677
01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:29,040
Speaker 1: priced out of our market. I'd look the draft Jabil

1678
01:31:29,280 --> 01:31:33,320
Speaker 1: jaberl Cox and take that money you'd save from Milano

1679
01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:35,559
Speaker 1: and put it toward the offensive line. What do these

1680
01:31:35,600 --> 01:31:38,759
Speaker 1: guys think? Yeah, I mean I think that's why they're

1681
01:31:38,760 --> 01:31:41,680
Speaker 1: not going to be able to get Matt Mulano back

1682
01:31:41,720 --> 01:31:43,519
Speaker 1: in the fold, because of the money they know they're

1683
01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:46,040
Speaker 1: going to have to spend to keep their offensive line intact.

1684
01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:50,880
Speaker 1: As Steve and I have discussed, Trey Henderson's an interesting guy.

1685
01:31:52,200 --> 01:31:53,479
Speaker 1: I think he is going to make a lot of

1686
01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:55,759
Speaker 1: money on the free agent market. I think he's gone

1687
01:31:55,760 --> 01:32:01,040
Speaker 1: in Week one of free agency because he's basically a

1688
01:32:01,120 --> 01:32:05,200
Speaker 1: fifth year player, twenty five years old and is coming

1689
01:32:05,200 --> 01:32:07,559
Speaker 1: off at thirteen and a half sack season, and the

1690
01:32:07,640 --> 01:32:11,160
Speaker 1: Saints just can't keep them because of their prohibitive cap situation.

1691
01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:15,000
Speaker 1: So he's going to be out there. The question is

1692
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:16,479
Speaker 1: is he going to be signing in the first few

1693
01:32:16,520 --> 01:32:18,920
Speaker 1: days a free agency, because if he is, I think

1694
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:21,599
Speaker 1: he's priced out of Buffalo's market to bring him into

1695
01:32:21,640 --> 01:32:26,200
Speaker 1: the fold again again unless they clip people on their

1696
01:32:26,280 --> 01:32:32,320
Speaker 1: roster now on their defensive line. Yeah, they don't have

1697
01:32:32,360 --> 01:32:35,840
Speaker 1: any money to sign anybody right now. Of course, that's

1698
01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:38,360
Speaker 1: what we said about Arizona. Just well, Arizona, you don't

1699
01:32:38,360 --> 01:32:40,599
Speaker 1: have to get under the cap until March seventeenth, so

1700
01:32:41,080 --> 01:32:43,280
Speaker 1: spend away, but you're gonna have to make some tough

1701
01:32:43,280 --> 01:32:47,400
Speaker 1: decisions in the next two weeks. Yeah, So, yeah, the

1702
01:32:47,439 --> 01:32:50,200
Speaker 1: Bills aren't in a position to do that just yet.

1703
01:32:50,240 --> 01:32:52,920
Speaker 1: I don't think. Although, but from what you just said,

1704
01:32:52,920 --> 01:32:55,120
Speaker 1: and I'm having trouble getting the page to open, but

1705
01:32:55,439 --> 01:32:57,559
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals are further over the cap and the

1706
01:32:57,560 --> 01:33:01,559
Speaker 1: Bills are. They definitely are now well for sure, right

1707
01:33:02,720 --> 01:33:05,679
Speaker 1: with the money they just shelled out to what at

1708
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:09,240
Speaker 1: fifteen and a half per But yeah, I mean, I

1709
01:33:09,240 --> 01:33:11,720
Speaker 1: think we all know that New Orleans is not going

1710
01:33:11,760 --> 01:33:14,680
Speaker 1: to be able to keep Trey Hendrickson. I just think

1711
01:33:14,720 --> 01:33:16,760
Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson is going to be a player who is

1712
01:33:16,920 --> 01:33:20,559
Speaker 1: very much in demand. I mean six four two sixty six,

1713
01:33:20,920 --> 01:33:24,120
Speaker 1: thirteen and a half sack season and twenty six years old.

1714
01:33:24,960 --> 01:33:27,880
Speaker 1: That guy's going to make bank, probably in the first

1715
01:33:27,920 --> 01:33:31,280
Speaker 1: week of free agencies. So do I think the Bills

1716
01:33:31,280 --> 01:33:34,920
Speaker 1: can compete for his services? Are they interested? I'm sure

1717
01:33:34,960 --> 01:33:36,880
Speaker 1: anybody would be interested in a guy that can put

1718
01:33:36,960 --> 01:33:39,400
Speaker 1: up a thirteen and a half sack season. The problem

1719
01:33:39,520 --> 01:33:43,160
Speaker 1: is what's the price tag? Yeah, the Cardinals. The Cardinals

1720
01:33:43,200 --> 01:33:46,360
Speaker 1: are seventeen million bucks over the cat So there they

1721
01:33:46,439 --> 01:33:49,479
Speaker 1: just spent every cent of room they have on JJ.

1722
01:33:50,080 --> 01:33:53,400
Speaker 1: That's before they release anybody. So there they can do that,

1723
01:33:54,160 --> 01:33:57,080
Speaker 1: but right now, going forward, they're going to have to

1724
01:33:57,080 --> 01:34:00,280
Speaker 1: do some things. There. They just spent every bit of

1725
01:34:00,360 --> 01:34:01,960
Speaker 1: room all the way down to like they got seven

1726
01:34:02,040 --> 01:34:04,840
Speaker 1: hundred grand under the cap right now without with JJ

1727
01:34:05,040 --> 01:34:07,120
Speaker 1: on top of that. And while I agree with our

1728
01:34:07,200 --> 01:34:12,320
Speaker 1: last caller that Trey Hendrickson is probably a better long

1729
01:34:12,439 --> 01:34:15,479
Speaker 1: range option than JJ Watt and probably better value for

1730
01:34:15,520 --> 01:34:18,519
Speaker 1: your money, I still am not convinced that the Bills

1731
01:34:18,520 --> 01:34:21,080
Speaker 1: are going to spend that kind of money on their

1732
01:34:21,120 --> 01:34:24,599
Speaker 1: pass rush. I see them spending it primarily on their

1733
01:34:24,640 --> 01:34:27,320
Speaker 1: offensive line, and then I think they're going to pick

1734
01:34:27,360 --> 01:34:29,599
Speaker 1: their head up and say, all right, what's out there

1735
01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:33,000
Speaker 1: in the free agent market for pass rushers and is

1736
01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:35,960
Speaker 1: it better than what we have on our roster right now?

1737
01:34:36,040 --> 01:34:39,160
Speaker 1: And it may be none of that, none of the

1738
01:34:39,400 --> 01:34:42,120
Speaker 1: They may get a corner like if Patrick Peterson talking

1739
01:34:42,120 --> 01:34:45,640
Speaker 1: about Arizona, Patrick Peterson becomes available, get him to a

1740
01:34:45,640 --> 01:34:49,240
Speaker 1: one year deal, which looks like he will be. I

1741
01:34:49,360 --> 01:34:51,400
Speaker 1: wonder Steve about that, and I know we have to

1742
01:34:51,439 --> 01:34:53,439
Speaker 1: take a break, but this is something to discuss in

1743
01:34:53,479 --> 01:34:58,519
Speaker 1: the next segment. I wonder if the Bills change course

1744
01:34:59,320 --> 01:35:03,519
Speaker 1: in how they address the second cornerback spot. Each of

1745
01:35:03,560 --> 01:35:07,439
Speaker 1: the last three years, they have signed a veteran on

1746
01:35:07,479 --> 01:35:11,760
Speaker 1: a one year deal, whether it was EJ. Gaines, Kevin Johnson,

1747
01:35:13,240 --> 01:35:18,000
Speaker 1: Philip Gaines, Josh Norman. They've done it almost every year.

1748
01:35:18,080 --> 01:35:21,320
Speaker 1: But now with this restrictive cap, do they choose to

1749
01:35:21,320 --> 01:35:23,280
Speaker 1: go in another direction, to go solely in the draft

1750
01:35:23,320 --> 01:35:25,400
Speaker 1: and go with a youth movement. I wonder if that's

1751
01:35:25,439 --> 01:35:28,760
Speaker 1: a different tact that they take this offseason, knowing the

1752
01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:32,000
Speaker 1: money they have to invest in veterans on their offensive line.

1753
01:35:32,240 --> 01:35:35,400
Speaker 1: We'll discuss that when we return. Along with your phone

1754
01:35:35,400 --> 01:35:38,000
Speaker 1: call Scott and Florida, Jim and Orchard Parkhank Tight. We

1755
01:35:38,040 --> 01:35:39,599
Speaker 1: will get to you in the next segment as it's

1756
01:35:39,640 --> 01:35:42,240
Speaker 1: more of your phone calls. Here on a JJ Watts

1757
01:35:42,320 --> 01:35:46,080
Speaker 1: signs with Arizona Monday, One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health.

1758
01:35:46,120 --> 01:36:01,880
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio Bills Radio Network Sports your

1759
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:05,480
Speaker 1: sports Update from One Bill's Drive. JJ Watt has decided

1760
01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:10,240
Speaker 1: on his second NFL club. It will be the Arizona Cardinals,

1761
01:36:10,320 --> 01:36:14,000
Speaker 1: Watt making the announcement official on his Twitter account wearing

1762
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:18,320
Speaker 1: an Arizona Cardinals T shirt with the tweet source meat.

1763
01:36:18,400 --> 01:36:20,920
Speaker 1: It's a two year deal where thirty one million, with

1764
01:36:21,120 --> 01:36:24,920
Speaker 1: twenty three million of that guarantee. The NFL may finally

1765
01:36:24,920 --> 01:36:27,400
Speaker 1: get its expanded schedule in twenty twenty one. According to

1766
01:36:27,479 --> 01:36:30,719
Speaker 1: NBC Sports Peter King, a seventeen game schedule is highly likely,

1767
01:36:30,760 --> 01:36:34,360
Speaker 1: with the league, scheduler and TV partners working under that assumption.

1768
01:36:34,640 --> 01:36:36,800
Speaker 1: The NFL also does not want to start the season

1769
01:36:36,880 --> 01:36:39,840
Speaker 1: Labor Day weekend, meaning that the extra week will be

1770
01:36:39,840 --> 01:36:42,320
Speaker 1: played at the back end of the schedule, pushing the

1771
01:36:42,320 --> 01:36:45,080
Speaker 1: playoffs back a week with the Super Bowl being played

1772
01:36:45,080 --> 01:36:49,759
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, likely on February thirteenth. Among other changes

1773
01:36:49,800 --> 01:36:52,439
Speaker 1: that could be coming to the schedule the possibility of

1774
01:36:52,479 --> 01:36:56,320
Speaker 1: a Monday Night Wildcard game, two Christmas Day games with

1775
01:36:56,400 --> 01:36:59,400
Speaker 1: the holiday being on Saturday this calendar year, and a

1776
01:36:59,520 --> 01:37:03,160
Speaker 1: seventeen game schedule. The AFC would host the extra game

1777
01:37:03,600 --> 01:37:06,320
Speaker 1: this season, the NFC would host it in twenty twenty two,

1778
01:37:06,760 --> 01:37:09,879
Speaker 1: so that means the Bills would host the Washington football

1779
01:37:09,920 --> 01:37:14,320
Speaker 1: team as their seventeenth game this fall. Ian Rappaport from

1780
01:37:14,400 --> 01:37:17,400
Speaker 1: NFL Network said the Washington football team expected to part

1781
01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:20,479
Speaker 1: ways with quarterback Alex Smith in the coming days. The

1782
01:37:20,520 --> 01:37:22,639
Speaker 1: ap Comeback Player of the Year a city still wants

1783
01:37:22,680 --> 01:37:24,960
Speaker 1: to play in an age thirty six may have a

1784
01:37:25,040 --> 01:37:27,840
Speaker 1: chance to do so after posting a five and one

1785
01:37:27,920 --> 01:37:31,920
Speaker 1: record as a starter for Washington this past season. Forty

1786
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:34,519
Speaker 1: nine Ers GM John Lynch said recently he has no

1787
01:37:34,600 --> 01:37:37,880
Speaker 1: doubt that a healthy Jimmy Garoppolo will be the team's

1788
01:37:37,880 --> 01:37:40,760
Speaker 1: starting quarterback for the twenty twenty one season, but he

1789
01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:45,280
Speaker 1: did add Garoppolo's injury history may prompt them to seek

1790
01:37:45,600 --> 01:37:49,120
Speaker 1: quote better options to back him up than they had

1791
01:37:49,479 --> 01:37:52,960
Speaker 1: last year. Joseph Person of The Athletic, reporting the forty

1792
01:37:53,040 --> 01:37:56,320
Speaker 1: nine Ers called the Panthers about a potential trade for

1793
01:37:56,439 --> 01:38:00,559
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater and following back to back shutout losses, Sabers

1794
01:38:00,600 --> 01:38:04,000
Speaker 1: back in action tomorrow night when they visit the New

01:38:04,080 --> 01:38:06,479
Speaker 1: York Rangers. That is your sports update from One Bill's

Speaker 1: Drive Chris Brown Steve Tasker broadcasting from the Seneca Studios

1797
01:38:10,200 --> 01:38:12,960
Speaker 1: here in Orchard Park where there are snow flurries. Winter

1798
01:38:13,120 --> 01:38:15,800
Speaker 1: making its triumphant return. How do you feel out this?

1799
01:38:15,800 --> 01:38:18,920
Speaker 1: This JJ Watt signing with Arizona kind of hijacked the show,

1800
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:22,360
Speaker 1: but there's still people chiming in about a John Gambadoro.

1801
01:38:22,600 --> 01:38:30,519
Speaker 1: Gambadoro said this, He was told that the Cardinals beat

1802
01:38:30,560 --> 01:38:34,560
Speaker 1: out nine teams that were in the jj Watt sweepstakes.

1803
01:38:35,520 --> 01:38:40,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo was the biggest competition. Yeah, how does that make

1804
01:38:40,400 --> 01:38:44,679
Speaker 1: you feel? So it was down to Arizona and Buffalo.

1805
01:38:44,720 --> 01:38:47,280
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you what made the difference the money?

1806
01:38:47,320 --> 01:38:50,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because I'm telling you right now, JJ Watt.

1807
01:38:50,880 --> 01:38:54,599
Speaker 1: So that that convinces me that jj Watt was considering Buffalo,

1808
01:38:55,160 --> 01:38:58,240
Speaker 1: but because Buffalo wasn't going to get into fifteen million

1809
01:38:58,280 --> 01:39:01,280
Speaker 1: dollars a year territory, he timately went and sided with

1810
01:39:01,320 --> 01:39:03,800
Speaker 1: the money. And because I'll tell you what, If you

1811
01:39:03,840 --> 01:39:07,640
Speaker 1: think Arizona's as close as Buffalo is to get into

1812
01:39:07,680 --> 01:39:10,719
Speaker 1: the super Bowl and winning it, I say, you're crazy.

1813
01:39:11,040 --> 01:39:16,920
Speaker 1: They won eight games last year, Buffalo won thirteen thirteen difference.

1814
01:39:17,080 --> 01:39:19,479
Speaker 1: That's a big difference. And Buffalo was three and one

1815
01:39:19,479 --> 01:39:21,639
Speaker 1: in that division and kept from going on when by

1816
01:39:21,640 --> 01:39:26,040
Speaker 1: that Arizona team, no doubt, by hail Mary yep that

1817
01:39:26,600 --> 01:39:29,519
Speaker 1: you know that was. That's the difference in those teams.

1818
01:39:29,720 --> 01:39:33,080
Speaker 1: They've got some guys like a JJ Watt, it's typical

1819
01:39:33,160 --> 01:39:37,400
Speaker 1: JJ Watt, DeAndre Hopkins, Kyler Murray, guys who if given

1820
01:39:37,439 --> 01:39:41,200
Speaker 1: them chance, can make a spectacular play. But in the

1821
01:39:41,240 --> 01:39:44,000
Speaker 1: big picture, you're eight and eight. Yeah, because the rest

1822
01:39:44,000 --> 01:39:48,120
Speaker 1: of your roster is a bunch of guys. That's right, exactly.

1823
01:39:48,120 --> 01:39:50,200
Speaker 1: They're not gonna because of this contract that they just

1824
01:39:50,240 --> 01:39:52,679
Speaker 1: signed J. J. Watt. They're even worse than now. They

1825
01:39:52,600 --> 01:39:55,280
Speaker 1: are like the Rams. They're not resigning a Son Reddick,

1826
01:39:56,000 --> 01:40:01,440
Speaker 1: They're not resigning Patrick Peterson. I mean, maybe Larry Fitzgerald

1827
01:40:01,479 --> 01:40:04,400
Speaker 1: comes back, and you know, Larry Fitzgerald isn't Larry Fitzgerald anymore.

1828
01:40:04,400 --> 01:40:08,040
Speaker 1: He's a free agent too. But whatever were those are

1829
01:40:08,040 --> 01:40:11,120
Speaker 1: two big players. They're Patrick Peterson and Hassan Reddick, who

1830
01:40:11,120 --> 01:40:13,439
Speaker 1: had twelve and a half sacks last year. What happens

1831
01:40:13,479 --> 01:40:15,360
Speaker 1: if you if you put Watt on the field and

1832
01:40:15,400 --> 01:40:17,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't get twelve and a half sacks this year

1833
01:40:17,120 --> 01:40:19,720
Speaker 1: at fifteen and a half per did you make the

1834
01:40:19,800 --> 01:40:22,960
Speaker 1: right call? What? Yeah? I mean that's the question, and

1835
01:40:23,080 --> 01:40:29,719
Speaker 1: I get it. But they're right at the cap now,

1836
01:40:29,880 --> 01:40:32,439
Speaker 1: they're they're about from why they're just under a million

1837
01:40:32,439 --> 01:40:35,240
Speaker 1: dollars under the cap the way it sits right now

1838
01:40:35,560 --> 01:40:38,919
Speaker 1: with all those free agents, so they're gonna have to restructure.

1839
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:41,599
Speaker 1: And you and I have conjectured that the way Jordan

1840
01:40:41,640 --> 01:40:43,559
Speaker 1: filters played last year, they may not be happy with

1841
01:40:43,600 --> 01:40:49,520
Speaker 1: his production. Maybe he gets restructured or let go. But nevertheless,

1842
01:40:49,760 --> 01:40:52,200
Speaker 1: right now the way it sits, they're kind of like

1843
01:40:52,320 --> 01:40:55,719
Speaker 1: the bills. They've got some guys they got to replace

1844
01:40:55,760 --> 01:40:58,240
Speaker 1: and some people they want to get better. They don't

1845
01:40:58,280 --> 01:41:00,639
Speaker 1: have the money now, Nope, they don't have the money,

1846
01:41:01,520 --> 01:41:03,519
Speaker 1: and it'll be interesting to see if they make some

1847
01:41:03,600 --> 01:41:07,720
Speaker 1: tough salary cap casualty decisions because of the money they

1848
01:41:07,720 --> 01:41:12,000
Speaker 1: have now committed to JJ Watt. So that's one report

1849
01:41:12,040 --> 01:41:14,080
Speaker 1: that the Bills were one of the final two teams

1850
01:41:14,080 --> 01:41:17,640
Speaker 1: with Arizona four JJ Watt Services, and my suspicion is

1851
01:41:18,160 --> 01:41:20,559
Speaker 1: the Bills were not going to venture into the fifteen

1852
01:41:20,600 --> 01:41:24,080
Speaker 1: million dollars a year territory, and because of that, I

1853
01:41:24,120 --> 01:41:27,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if that was ultimately the deciding factor

1854
01:41:27,240 --> 01:41:29,960
Speaker 1: for Watt, who clearly chose to go with money over

1855
01:41:30,040 --> 01:41:33,160
Speaker 1: truly a chance to win a championship, because, as Steve said,

1856
01:41:33,479 --> 01:41:35,040
Speaker 1: I think we can all agree the Bills are a

1857
01:41:35,040 --> 01:41:38,240
Speaker 1: lot closer to that than the Arizona Cardinals are. Right now,

1858
01:41:38,680 --> 01:41:40,680
Speaker 1: eight oh three oh five fifty the number to get

1859
01:41:40,720 --> 01:41:42,920
Speaker 1: on board. Let us know how you feel about the

1860
01:41:42,960 --> 01:41:47,519
Speaker 1: developments with JJ Watt today signing with Arizona. We go

1861
01:41:47,600 --> 01:41:50,080
Speaker 1: back to the phones and leading us off Jim in

1862
01:41:50,360 --> 01:41:52,000
Speaker 1: Orchard Park, Jim, what do you have for us? You're

1863
01:41:52,000 --> 01:41:59,400
Speaker 1: on one bills live, Jim. Turn your radio down. You're

1864
01:41:59,520 --> 01:42:04,080
Speaker 1: up with us, buddy, Okay, turn your radio down. What

1865
01:42:04,120 --> 01:42:08,200
Speaker 1: do you have for us? Jim? Well, I just want

1866
01:42:08,200 --> 01:42:14,960
Speaker 1: to know where to sign any of these players. There

1867
01:42:15,040 --> 01:42:18,080
Speaker 1: was nobody in the stands, nobody you know I used

1868
01:42:18,080 --> 01:42:25,120
Speaker 1: to be you know, go to every game, right, Uh,

1869
01:42:26,240 --> 01:42:29,400
Speaker 1: not only do us sitting like everybody else and watch

1870
01:42:29,479 --> 01:42:34,360
Speaker 1: it on television? And how does that then pay the

1871
01:42:34,479 --> 01:42:39,880
Speaker 1: salaries of these players? So where does somebody come O? Yeah,

1872
01:42:39,880 --> 01:42:41,760
Speaker 1: all right, so we'll handle that for you, Jim, Steve,

1873
01:42:41,800 --> 01:42:44,160
Speaker 1: you want to take that, yeah, Jim. Yeah. The most

1874
01:42:44,200 --> 01:42:47,040
Speaker 1: of the income for the NFL football teams comes from

1875
01:42:47,080 --> 01:42:50,280
Speaker 1: the rights to televise the event. Uh it we got

1876
01:42:50,280 --> 01:42:53,400
Speaker 1: the scoop when this all came down and they started

1877
01:42:53,520 --> 01:42:56,559
Speaker 1: having to negotiate how low the salary cap could go,

1878
01:42:57,160 --> 01:43:00,920
Speaker 1: the union UH got the numbers and they were shared

1879
01:43:00,960 --> 01:43:03,040
Speaker 1: with all of us seventy five percent. The way we

1880
01:43:03,080 --> 01:43:05,720
Speaker 1: understand it, of the current point in history right now,

1881
01:43:06,120 --> 01:43:08,840
Speaker 1: seventy five percent of the revenue in the NFL comes

1882
01:43:08,840 --> 01:43:14,000
Speaker 1: from television rights from ABC, CBS, ESPN, and Fox and

1883
01:43:14,160 --> 01:43:18,240
Speaker 1: all of the affiliated uh and Amazon, whoever streaming service,

1884
01:43:18,280 --> 01:43:21,000
Speaker 1: whoever's paying to broadcast the games in any way, shape

1885
01:43:21,040 --> 01:43:23,719
Speaker 1: or form. That's where seventy five percent of the revenues

1886
01:43:23,760 --> 01:43:32,640
Speaker 1: for each team come from. Fifteen percent comes from the

1887
01:43:32,760 --> 01:43:40,240
Speaker 1: end game parking concessions, tickets, club seats, all of that stuff.

1888
01:43:40,320 --> 01:43:42,880
Speaker 1: It's the game day revenue, which is it's about ten

1889
01:43:42,880 --> 01:43:47,800
Speaker 1: million bucks a week sponsorship signing. Right, it's about ten

1890
01:43:47,840 --> 01:43:51,840
Speaker 1: million bucks a game for ten home games, eight regular season,

1891
01:43:51,880 --> 01:43:55,920
Speaker 1: two preseason games. It's ten million bucks on average per team,

1892
01:43:56,280 --> 01:44:02,200
Speaker 1: which means it's one hundred million per team per season. Now,

1893
01:44:02,479 --> 01:44:06,040
Speaker 1: then you've got were about that's an average. It's not

1894
01:44:06,080 --> 01:44:07,559
Speaker 1: that much here in Buffalo, and it's a little more

1895
01:44:07,560 --> 01:44:11,160
Speaker 1: in other places. The rest of the ten percent, so

1896
01:44:11,200 --> 01:44:15,799
Speaker 1: there's seventy five percent with the with the television, fifteen

1897
01:44:15,840 --> 01:44:21,720
Speaker 1: percent with game day, and another ten percent is jerseys, merchandise,

1898
01:44:21,840 --> 01:44:27,040
Speaker 1: merchandise and all of that stuff, national corporate sponsors, so

1899
01:44:27,080 --> 01:44:30,599
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. That's where the money comes from.

1900
01:44:30,720 --> 01:44:33,200
Speaker 1: So he was worried saying nobody was in the stands.

1901
01:44:33,240 --> 01:44:36,080
Speaker 1: Where's the money. The money's in the network deals, which

1902
01:44:36,120 --> 01:44:38,519
Speaker 1: is in the billions of dollars, and the money is

1903
01:44:38,520 --> 01:44:41,040
Speaker 1: in merchandise sales, which I would venture to guess was

1904
01:44:41,080 --> 01:44:43,200
Speaker 1: probably up this year. With fans sitting at home not

1905
01:44:43,240 --> 01:44:45,360
Speaker 1: being able to go to games. Their team did well

1906
01:44:45,360 --> 01:44:48,160
Speaker 1: this year, they're probably lapping up jerseys and whatnot. Yeah,

1907
01:44:48,280 --> 01:44:53,240
Speaker 1: you know, in paraphernalia, Bill's playoff garb, I mean AFC's champs.

1908
01:44:53,280 --> 01:44:56,000
Speaker 1: People were buying that hand over fist and not all

1909
01:44:56,120 --> 01:44:58,800
Speaker 1: not all of that is you know, yeah, I mean

1910
01:44:58,840 --> 01:45:01,760
Speaker 1: it's all you know, license and all that now, and

1911
01:45:01,800 --> 01:45:05,160
Speaker 1: I may have it varies widely. What like say the

1912
01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:08,519
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys bring in for tickets and clubs and sales

1913
01:45:08,520 --> 01:45:10,000
Speaker 1: and all that on a game day, and it's different

1914
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:12,240
Speaker 1: than that's for the Bills fans here in Buffalo and

1915
01:45:12,280 --> 01:45:14,760
Speaker 1: the Green Bay fans and the LA fans and all that,

1916
01:45:14,840 --> 01:45:17,880
Speaker 1: so it varies widely. Those are still split up. That

1917
01:45:17,960 --> 01:45:21,000
Speaker 1: revenue is still split up two percentages that go to

1918
01:45:21,040 --> 01:45:23,920
Speaker 1: each of the teams, all the teams involved. So you

1919
01:45:23,960 --> 01:45:26,000
Speaker 1: don't get one hundred percent of all that stuff into

1920
01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:28,360
Speaker 1: your own bank account. It comes, it gets split up.

1921
01:45:30,360 --> 01:45:32,760
Speaker 1: But nevertheless, all a lot of the money, most of

1922
01:45:32,760 --> 01:45:34,800
Speaker 1: the revenue goes into a pot. It gets split thirty

1923
01:45:34,840 --> 01:45:39,599
Speaker 1: two ways, and that's where the money comes from. Most

1924
01:45:39,640 --> 01:45:41,920
Speaker 1: of it is television rights deals that are up this

1925
01:45:42,000 --> 01:45:47,840
Speaker 1: year that the league was very very intent on proving

1926
01:45:48,320 --> 01:45:52,960
Speaker 1: that come Hecker high Water, they're gonna get two hundred

1927
01:45:52,960 --> 01:45:56,720
Speaker 1: and fifty six games in in every season. Now next

1928
01:45:56,800 --> 01:46:01,240
Speaker 1: year it'll be way more than that, but because they'll

1929
01:46:01,240 --> 01:46:04,360
Speaker 1: have another extra weekend, but they're gonna get all these

1930
01:46:04,360 --> 01:46:08,439
Speaker 1: games in no matter what. And that's a dependent that's

1931
01:46:08,439 --> 01:46:11,800
Speaker 1: a dependable service that television networks are really counting on.

1932
01:46:12,320 --> 01:46:14,680
Speaker 1: And so they're they're ponying up a lot, a lot

1933
01:46:14,760 --> 01:46:16,720
Speaker 1: more money this time or yeah, not to worry. The

1934
01:46:16,760 --> 01:46:19,800
Speaker 1: money is there to be spent, rest assured. Yeah, there's

1935
01:46:19,840 --> 01:46:22,400
Speaker 1: lots of money there. And I'll tell you this too.

1936
01:46:22,479 --> 01:46:24,960
Speaker 1: The salary cap that they like to talk about a

1937
01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:28,479
Speaker 1: lot is it? What is it? Forty seven percent of

1938
01:46:28,920 --> 01:46:32,800
Speaker 1: gross shared revenues? Forty Sent's not even half. Yeah, so

1939
01:46:32,880 --> 01:46:36,479
Speaker 1: this one, this buck eighty buck, eighty two, buck eighty five,

1940
01:46:36,560 --> 01:46:41,559
Speaker 1: whatever it's gonna be, is only forty eight percent of

1941
01:46:41,600 --> 01:46:43,720
Speaker 1: the gross revenues that are shared. Now, there's a lot

1942
01:46:43,760 --> 01:46:45,880
Speaker 1: of revenue, or I say a lot, but there's a

1943
01:46:45,920 --> 01:46:49,080
Speaker 1: lot of revenue that is not shared between clubs. So

1944
01:46:49,160 --> 01:46:52,120
Speaker 1: there's every anything incilliary to that, all of this other

1945
01:46:52,280 --> 01:46:56,439
Speaker 1: shared revenue that just goes to the bottom line. So yeah,

1946
01:46:56,479 --> 01:47:01,200
Speaker 1: there's there should be enough cash. They'll be fine to go.

1947
01:47:01,520 --> 01:47:04,120
Speaker 1: They're gonna be fine because they're too strong an entity

1948
01:47:04,160 --> 01:47:07,360
Speaker 1: not to And the gargantuan effort and the money they

1949
01:47:07,479 --> 01:47:11,679
Speaker 1: paid to get this season going and done, was I think, well,

1950
01:47:11,720 --> 01:47:13,240
Speaker 1: well worth it and it's going to be in the

1951
01:47:13,240 --> 01:47:15,960
Speaker 1: long run. Back to the phones and we go to

1952
01:47:16,080 --> 01:47:18,160
Speaker 1: Scott in Florida. Scott, what do you have for us?

1953
01:47:18,200 --> 01:47:22,559
Speaker 1: You're on one Bill's Live. Yeah, I'm great to hear

1954
01:47:22,560 --> 01:47:27,360
Speaker 1: it from you. What do you have for us? I

1955
01:47:27,439 --> 01:47:30,559
Speaker 1: think that you should take that clic trophy and maybe

1956
01:47:30,560 --> 01:47:34,280
Speaker 1: try and donates as the Hall of Fame they got

1957
01:47:34,640 --> 01:47:40,040
Speaker 1: they got more interesting stuff than that. But yeah, okay,

1958
01:47:40,040 --> 01:47:42,599
Speaker 1: and I got one other thing for you. I'm kind

1959
01:47:42,600 --> 01:47:47,120
Speaker 1: of a unique fan. I was born in Buffalo, raised

1960
01:47:47,120 --> 01:47:54,240
Speaker 1: in Tonawanda, played football Tonawanda, coach in Tonawanda, played football

1961
01:47:54,280 --> 01:48:00,960
Speaker 1: at the University of Rochester. Day balls cool and just

1962
01:48:01,160 --> 01:48:07,120
Speaker 1: a lot of coincidence that haven't happened there. And uh

1963
01:48:07,479 --> 01:48:13,640
Speaker 1: my kids that name Kick Carson and Coldy Scott. They

1964
01:48:13,720 --> 01:48:15,439
Speaker 1: have loved the Bill some MutS and I'm just so

1965
01:48:16,680 --> 01:48:19,320
Speaker 1: love your show and just wanted to say thanks for

1966
01:48:19,400 --> 01:48:22,920
Speaker 1: having it on. And I want task I to go

1967
01:48:22,920 --> 01:48:25,120
Speaker 1: on the Hall of Fame more than anything. Yeah, well

1968
01:48:25,320 --> 01:48:27,880
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, that's all. It's nice. Scott. Yeah, there's

1969
01:48:28,400 --> 01:48:30,559
Speaker 1: I like, I know you live in Florida now, it said,

1970
01:48:30,600 --> 01:48:33,120
Speaker 1: but um, yeah, it's hard to get it hard to

1971
01:48:33,160 --> 01:48:35,880
Speaker 1: shake off Western New York roots when he coached and

1972
01:48:35,920 --> 01:48:38,800
Speaker 1: lived and worked in Tonawanda, went the University of Rochester. Yeah,

1973
01:48:38,800 --> 01:48:40,599
Speaker 1: his phone cut out there. He was trying to say, yeah,

1974
01:48:40,760 --> 01:48:42,960
Speaker 1: I played football at the University of Rochester, which is

1975
01:48:42,960 --> 01:48:46,040
Speaker 1: where A Dable played his college football as well, which

1976
01:48:46,040 --> 01:48:49,280
Speaker 1: he mentioned, but his phone line kind of got cutting

1977
01:48:49,320 --> 01:48:51,240
Speaker 1: in and out on him a little bit. But yeah,

1978
01:48:51,320 --> 01:48:55,160
Speaker 1: thanks for the call, Scott. Yeah sure, Um, interesting Steve

1979
01:48:55,320 --> 01:48:59,160
Speaker 1: that Adam Schefter pointed this out on Twitter. J J.

1980
01:48:59,320 --> 01:49:02,520
Speaker 1: Watt not the first stand out to sign with the Cardinals.

1981
01:49:02,560 --> 01:49:04,559
Speaker 1: A history of Hall of famers who finished up their

1982
01:49:04,640 --> 01:49:10,000
Speaker 1: NFL careers in Arizona, Emmitt Smith, Edgar and James Kurt Warner,

1983
01:49:10,560 --> 01:49:16,160
Speaker 1: Alan Fannica who's going in this year? Um, Kurt Warner

1984
01:49:16,200 --> 01:49:18,479
Speaker 1: was really the only guy that made them a Super

1985
01:49:18,479 --> 01:49:21,280
Speaker 1: Bowl contender when you think about all of those names,

1986
01:49:22,080 --> 01:49:24,880
Speaker 1: m getting them to the Super Bowl in OH nine,

1987
01:49:26,040 --> 01:49:29,680
Speaker 1: a couple of playoff appearances, and basically was a Santonio

1988
01:49:29,840 --> 01:49:33,400
Speaker 1: Holmes fingertip catch away from winning the Super Bowl his

1989
01:49:33,520 --> 01:49:37,000
Speaker 1: second first with the Cardinals, And obviously we know that

1990
01:49:37,320 --> 01:49:42,120
Speaker 1: didn't go that way. Um, but when, but when well

1991
01:49:42,160 --> 01:49:48,400
Speaker 1: known vets finished their career somewhere. But you know, changing

1992
01:49:48,439 --> 01:49:53,760
Speaker 1: teams rarely results in a Super Bowl. Yeah, Um, Tom

1993
01:49:53,760 --> 01:49:56,559
Speaker 1: Brady would be an exception this year. Peyton Manning. Peyton

1994
01:49:56,560 --> 01:50:01,480
Speaker 1: Manning is another in Denver. It's a short not optimistic.

1995
01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:05,479
Speaker 1: Joe Montana came within a hair's breath of gold the

1996
01:50:05,520 --> 01:50:07,519
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. He was put out of the championship game

1997
01:50:07,560 --> 01:50:11,880
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo, Title game, Title game. Um. I'm sure

1998
01:50:11,920 --> 01:50:14,720
Speaker 1: we can find some if we looked hard enough, but

1999
01:50:15,880 --> 01:50:18,679
Speaker 1: I would venture to take an educated guess and say,

2000
01:50:18,760 --> 01:50:24,640
Speaker 1: more often than not, it does not result in widespread

2001
01:50:24,720 --> 01:50:28,840
Speaker 1: success resulting in a Super Bowl, right, Um, I mean

2002
01:50:29,320 --> 01:50:33,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure there are examples. Yeah, Um, Tom Brady did

2003
01:50:33,120 --> 01:50:35,040
Speaker 1: it just a year ago, and Peyton Manny did it

2004
01:50:35,080 --> 01:50:37,400
Speaker 1: this last decade. So it's happened recent in recent years.

2005
01:50:37,400 --> 01:50:39,559
Speaker 1: And maybe that's maybe the game is evolving towards that

2006
01:50:39,600 --> 01:50:43,040
Speaker 1: because more guys are switching around moving it is a

2007
01:50:43,080 --> 01:50:46,679
Speaker 1: more transient league and and and great players are leaving

2008
01:50:46,840 --> 01:50:49,639
Speaker 1: their former teams earlier in their careers, which a little

2009
01:50:49,680 --> 01:50:51,679
Speaker 1: bit more gas in the tank, you know, like Peyton

2010
01:50:51,680 --> 01:50:54,840
Speaker 1: Manning had four years in Denver. Uh, Tom Brady whatever,

2011
01:50:54,880 --> 01:50:57,840
Speaker 1: he's got left. Um. You know, even Philip Rivers, you

2012
01:50:57,840 --> 01:50:59,400
Speaker 1: think he you know, he went back last year and

2013
01:50:59,640 --> 01:51:02,880
Speaker 1: switched to Indianapolis for one year. Ed Washington bounced around

2014
01:51:02,880 --> 01:51:05,360
Speaker 1: and one one in New England. That's right. It does

2015
01:51:05,439 --> 01:51:08,200
Speaker 1: happen more so now in the current day because of

2016
01:51:08,240 --> 01:51:10,280
Speaker 1: the atmosphere of the league than than it did in

2017
01:51:10,320 --> 01:51:11,920
Speaker 1: the past. I mean, you think about it. Johnny went

2018
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:14,880
Speaker 1: up to Green Bay one one there, Johnny Unitus, you know,

2019
01:51:14,960 --> 01:51:19,280
Speaker 1: he finished out West Um, Joe Namath finished with the

2020
01:51:19,400 --> 01:51:22,680
Speaker 1: rams Um. You know, all there's a lot of that

2021
01:51:22,880 --> 01:51:25,000
Speaker 1: examples of that that it didn't you know, kind of

2022
01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:29,640
Speaker 1: finish that well. So but you know, quarterbacks are a

2023
01:51:29,720 --> 01:51:31,880
Speaker 1: little different the defensive line. They can have a little

2024
01:51:31,920 --> 01:51:35,120
Speaker 1: more effect on, right, the outcome of games, as we know,

2025
01:51:35,280 --> 01:51:38,680
Speaker 1: probably now more than ever. But yeah, not not a

2026
01:51:38,720 --> 01:51:43,360
Speaker 1: great not a great history, uh for the Cardinals outside

2027
01:51:43,360 --> 01:51:46,519
Speaker 1: of Warner um, although they are all Hall of famers,

2028
01:51:47,040 --> 01:51:49,439
Speaker 1: uh in the list that was provided to JJ. I mean,

2029
01:51:49,479 --> 01:51:52,760
Speaker 1: he's got to be there too, he will. So that's

2030
01:51:52,920 --> 01:51:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, that's just another one. And Emmett Smith, I

2031
01:51:55,000 --> 01:51:58,320
Speaker 1: mean it was his time in Arizona was completely forgettable.

2032
01:52:00,040 --> 01:52:03,240
Speaker 1: So right, Yeah, So Here are some comments from the

2033
01:52:03,240 --> 01:52:05,640
Speaker 1: tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the

2034
01:52:05,640 --> 01:52:08,320
Speaker 1: official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills, with respect

2035
01:52:08,760 --> 01:52:11,479
Speaker 1: to the news today of J. J. Watts signing with

2036
01:52:11,640 --> 01:52:14,719
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals and the subsequent report that Steve Reference

2037
01:52:14,800 --> 01:52:18,240
Speaker 1: that the Bills were one of the two finalists with

2038
01:52:18,320 --> 01:52:24,720
Speaker 1: Arizona to land jj Watt from Ehorst, he says, I

2039
01:52:24,800 --> 01:52:27,240
Speaker 1: was never crazy about the idea of the Bills picking

2040
01:52:27,280 --> 01:52:29,080
Speaker 1: up jj Watt. If we got him, he would have

2041
01:52:29,080 --> 01:52:31,040
Speaker 1: been a nice addition, but I figured the price would

2042
01:52:31,040 --> 01:52:34,000
Speaker 1: have been restrictive and sacrifices would have been made if

2043
01:52:34,040 --> 01:52:36,720
Speaker 1: we didn't get him. And we didn't, It's like, man,

2044
01:52:37,160 --> 01:52:41,200
Speaker 1: no big thing, go Bills. I wonder if the majority

2045
01:52:41,280 --> 01:52:44,760
Speaker 1: of Bills fans feel this way today. Right. My brother

2046
01:52:44,800 --> 01:52:47,280
Speaker 1: in law has already texted me saying he's not broken

2047
01:52:47,360 --> 01:52:50,400
Speaker 1: up about it, right, And I think it's because of

2048
01:52:50,439 --> 01:52:53,640
Speaker 1: the price tag. Well here's the thing. Let's spend it

2049
01:52:53,680 --> 01:52:57,719
Speaker 1: both ways. Yeah, negatively, you don't get him, and he

2050
01:52:57,800 --> 01:52:59,840
Speaker 1: laughs off says I would never play in Buffalo like

2051
01:53:00,080 --> 01:53:01,599
Speaker 1: some of these, you know, and your pass rush at

2052
01:53:01,640 --> 01:53:05,120
Speaker 1: least unchanged. So then on the other side of that

2053
01:53:05,280 --> 01:53:08,240
Speaker 1: was if he signs Buffalo for like six million bucks

2054
01:53:08,240 --> 01:53:10,000
Speaker 1: a year and you find out he was he was,

2055
01:53:10,080 --> 01:53:11,840
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just spinning it. I'm just exaggerating to

2056
01:53:11,920 --> 01:53:14,439
Speaker 1: make a point. He signs for like six million bucks

2057
01:53:14,439 --> 01:53:17,360
Speaker 1: a year and turned you find out he turned down

2058
01:53:17,520 --> 01:53:20,080
Speaker 1: sixteen and a half million because he thinks Buffalo is

2059
01:53:20,120 --> 01:53:24,760
Speaker 1: that close. That's your comp That's when you go, right,

2060
01:53:25,200 --> 01:53:32,559
Speaker 1: So somewhere, we're somewhere total purgatory, right, So all right,

2061
01:53:32,720 --> 01:53:34,400
Speaker 1: so that's what it is, and we're in free agent

2062
01:53:34,439 --> 01:53:39,160
Speaker 1: pass rush purgatory exactly exactly. So that's I'm totally I'm

2063
01:53:39,240 --> 01:53:42,880
Speaker 1: kind of with Ehorsed right there. Yeah. Uh, Tick says

2064
01:53:43,280 --> 01:53:46,439
Speaker 1: Watch just went for the money nice weather and not

2065
01:53:46,520 --> 01:53:50,080
Speaker 1: the ring. Arizona is the NFC version of the Texans.

2066
01:53:50,120 --> 01:53:55,040
Speaker 1: Talented quarterback, some talent, but overall a poorly coach team

2067
01:53:55,200 --> 01:53:58,040
Speaker 1: head coach mainly so much for the experts saying he

2068
01:53:58,080 --> 01:54:01,000
Speaker 1: wanted to go to a Super Bowl contending team. Well

2069
01:54:01,040 --> 01:54:03,640
Speaker 1: that wasn't the expert saying it. I think that was

2070
01:54:03,680 --> 01:54:06,640
Speaker 1: coming from JJ. I think he had told me they

2071
01:54:06,640 --> 01:54:09,559
Speaker 1: were presentations, let's go someplace where we can win. And

2072
01:54:10,080 --> 01:54:12,200
Speaker 1: he found out that the teams that win don't spend

2073
01:54:12,240 --> 01:54:14,360
Speaker 1: foolishly in free agencies. So he decided to go to

2074
01:54:14,360 --> 01:54:17,479
Speaker 1: the one who would. Whether they were sums it up

2075
01:54:17,479 --> 01:54:21,799
Speaker 1: Steve very nicely packaged, nice job. Contenders don't spend money

2076
01:54:22,280 --> 01:54:27,760
Speaker 1: like this like that. Yeah, you are right, I mean

2077
01:54:27,800 --> 01:54:30,880
Speaker 1: that you cannot. And there's a yeah, there's teams that

2078
01:54:30,920 --> 01:54:32,640
Speaker 1: go all in one year and maybe they get close,

2079
01:54:32,960 --> 01:54:36,040
Speaker 1: but that's not the way, you know, that's not the right.

2080
01:54:36,200 --> 01:54:37,880
Speaker 1: That doesn't give you chance every year. And the other

2081
01:54:37,880 --> 01:54:42,240
Speaker 1: thing too is more often than not, Steve, the teams

2082
01:54:42,280 --> 01:54:48,440
Speaker 1: that win the Super Bowl have in many cases gotten

2083
01:54:48,480 --> 01:54:52,240
Speaker 1: there in stages now. Tampa is the exception, and maybe

2084
01:54:52,240 --> 01:54:55,640
Speaker 1: Arizona thinks they can be like Tampa. Tampa did not

2085
01:54:55,720 --> 01:54:58,440
Speaker 1: make the playoffs the year before, but they changed their

2086
01:54:58,480 --> 01:55:02,080
Speaker 1: quarterback to an oral world quarterback, probably the best to

2087
01:55:02,080 --> 01:55:05,760
Speaker 1: ever do it, and and that's a game change. Well yeah,

2088
01:55:05,760 --> 01:55:08,080
Speaker 1: but they got there in stages two because well, their

2089
01:55:08,120 --> 01:55:10,520
Speaker 1: defense was very good the year. They had a great

2090
01:55:10,640 --> 01:55:15,560
Speaker 1: roster and Jamis through thirty and they still almost made

2091
01:55:15,560 --> 01:55:18,440
Speaker 1: the player through thirty one interceptions, they still almost made it.

2092
01:55:18,480 --> 01:55:21,520
Speaker 1: So that was one of those things where they were

2093
01:55:21,520 --> 01:55:25,000
Speaker 1: a really good football team and when they were hamstringing

2094
01:55:25,040 --> 01:55:29,120
Speaker 1: themselves with their turnovers. But tell me that Arizona is

2095
01:55:29,200 --> 01:55:32,040
Speaker 1: not thinking that same exact thing. Other why otherwise, why

2096
01:55:32,040 --> 01:55:34,120
Speaker 1: else do you spend this kind of money on jj Watt?

2097
01:55:34,400 --> 01:55:37,560
Speaker 1: They probably look, you know, it's a copycat league. So

2098
01:55:37,960 --> 01:55:41,400
Speaker 1: I'll bet they looked at the Tampa Bay Bucks and said,

2099
01:55:41,920 --> 01:55:45,360
Speaker 1: look at that team. They were nine and seven in

2100
01:55:45,440 --> 01:55:48,920
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. They get the quarterback and a couple other

2101
01:55:49,040 --> 01:55:53,200
Speaker 1: high impact players and they win the Super Bowl. I

2102
01:55:53,240 --> 01:55:55,000
Speaker 1: think we can do that. Let's spend fifteen and a

2103
01:55:55,040 --> 01:55:58,080
Speaker 1: half million on jj Watt. Now, from this chair where

2104
01:55:58,120 --> 01:56:01,880
Speaker 1: I sit, that looks like a fool hearty approach. But

2105
01:56:02,040 --> 01:56:03,800
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put it past him that that's some of

2106
01:56:03,840 --> 01:56:06,520
Speaker 1: the thinking that led to this deal happening, Right, wouldn't

2107
01:56:06,520 --> 01:56:09,840
Speaker 1: you say, I think it's logical to think that. What

2108
01:56:09,920 --> 01:56:12,240
Speaker 1: do you think? No, yeah, I get it. I could

2109
01:56:12,280 --> 01:56:14,160
Speaker 1: see them. Look as a couple of things you miss.

2110
01:56:14,160 --> 01:56:20,000
Speaker 1: First of all, you're putting you're putting Kyler Murray level

2111
01:56:20,840 --> 01:56:23,040
Speaker 1: with the guy Tampa guy. Well, I didn't say it

2112
01:56:23,120 --> 01:56:28,480
Speaker 1: was sad, And Arizona looks doubly idiotic because the guy

2113
01:56:28,520 --> 01:56:33,640
Speaker 1: who is the head coach in Tampa they fired in Arizona.

2114
01:56:33,800 --> 01:56:38,640
Speaker 1: So who's the idiot? Well, right, I'm just I didn't

2115
01:56:38,680 --> 01:56:40,960
Speaker 1: say it was sound logic, said Steve. I was just

2116
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:43,080
Speaker 1: saying sound I could see I sounded a little more

2117
01:56:43,080 --> 01:56:45,000
Speaker 1: passionate than I. Who did it? That was good? Well,

2118
01:56:45,000 --> 01:56:47,160
Speaker 1: that's why I asked you, it's do you get it? Though?

2119
01:56:47,240 --> 01:56:49,480
Speaker 1: Gave me a good opinion. You're telling me that Arizona

2120
01:56:49,520 --> 01:56:51,720
Speaker 1: is sitting there going our guy Kyler Murray, who's five

2121
01:56:51,800 --> 01:56:56,160
Speaker 1: eight and can run like a jitterbug. He's just gonna

2122
01:56:56,200 --> 01:56:58,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna be just as good as the guy Tampa

2123
01:56:58,280 --> 01:57:00,160
Speaker 1: Bay has. Well, let's think about what they did to

2124
01:57:00,200 --> 01:57:03,760
Speaker 1: get Kyler Murray. They traded their previous first round quarterback

2125
01:57:03,800 --> 01:57:06,280
Speaker 1: pick from just a year prior and send him to

2126
01:57:06,480 --> 01:57:09,760
Speaker 1: send him to Miami, and fired the head coach four weeks.

2127
01:57:10,800 --> 01:57:14,440
Speaker 1: To me, the deeper we get into this, right, it

2128
01:57:14,480 --> 01:57:17,560
Speaker 1: also fired the coordinator who actually won the Super Bowl

2129
01:57:17,600 --> 01:57:19,280
Speaker 1: this year in Tampa. I want to know who the

2130
01:57:19,360 --> 01:57:26,320
Speaker 1: third team was in the running, oh man, because Arizona,

2131
01:57:26,360 --> 01:57:29,000
Speaker 1: to me better and better about this, they look they

2132
01:57:29,040 --> 01:57:32,160
Speaker 1: look like over the last three or four years of

2133
01:57:32,360 --> 01:57:33,880
Speaker 1: this whole thing. And now you were taking in the

2134
01:57:33,880 --> 01:57:37,760
Speaker 1: big picture like you and I are. What do you do?

2135
01:57:38,040 --> 01:57:42,840
Speaker 1: What are you doing? It's waiting for it. I got it.

2136
01:57:43,520 --> 01:57:46,520
Speaker 1: They're you're if they're thinking that they're gonna be the

2137
01:57:46,600 --> 01:57:49,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one version of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Yeah,

2138
01:57:49,520 --> 01:57:52,320
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. They're the kind of team that,

2139
01:57:52,400 --> 01:57:56,240
Speaker 1: to me, I think is going to have to advance

2140
01:57:56,280 --> 01:57:58,720
Speaker 1: in the playoffs in stages, kind of like the Bills.

2141
01:57:59,120 --> 01:58:02,720
Speaker 1: You know, the Bills make the playoffs first year under McDermott,

2142
01:58:03,000 --> 01:58:05,560
Speaker 1: very surprising, not really ready for prime time. They're not

2143
01:58:05,640 --> 01:58:07,640
Speaker 1: in that class, didn't have the quarterback they were gonna have,

2144
01:58:07,760 --> 01:58:11,760
Speaker 1: right everything, Okay, get to the playoffs. Two years later, again,

2145
01:58:12,440 --> 01:58:15,880
Speaker 1: win ten games. They're right in it. Should have won

2146
01:58:15,960 --> 01:58:20,160
Speaker 1: that playoff game. But having not been there, maybe get

2147
01:58:20,200 --> 01:58:24,840
Speaker 1: the jitters, got a young quarterback, right, lose the game, right,

2148
01:58:24,920 --> 01:58:27,520
Speaker 1: their quarterback had a lot to learn. Come back the

2149
01:58:27,560 --> 01:58:31,200
Speaker 1: following year, they're ready, they're loaded for bear and they're

2150
01:58:31,200 --> 01:58:34,160
Speaker 1: a better football team, and they win two playoff games.

2151
01:58:34,600 --> 01:58:36,760
Speaker 1: I see Arizona as a team that has to take

2152
01:58:36,840 --> 01:58:40,200
Speaker 1: similar steps like that. I don't think it's happening in

2153
01:58:40,240 --> 01:58:42,120
Speaker 1: the two years that JJ Watt's going to be with

2154
01:58:42,120 --> 01:58:43,760
Speaker 1: the team and they're not, So why are you spending

2155
01:58:43,840 --> 01:58:45,840
Speaker 1: fifteen and a half million a year? I'm that guy.

2156
01:58:46,000 --> 01:58:49,320
Speaker 1: I don't think they're built financially for it. They're not

2157
01:58:49,320 --> 01:58:51,360
Speaker 1: gonna get with what we just laid because here's the

2158
01:58:51,400 --> 01:58:54,000
Speaker 1: thing that it's a team sport first and foremost, and

2159
01:58:54,080 --> 01:58:57,200
Speaker 1: certainly stars are the catalyst for great play, no question.

2160
01:58:57,280 --> 01:59:00,520
Speaker 1: But you've got to have a bunch of guys outside

2161
01:59:00,520 --> 01:59:05,120
Speaker 1: that top ten who can really play. Yeah, And the

2162
01:59:05,800 --> 01:59:08,520
Speaker 1: more money, the more guys you the more money you

2163
01:59:08,600 --> 01:59:11,240
Speaker 1: spend on those top guys, and the more you're guaranteeing

2164
01:59:11,280 --> 01:59:14,720
Speaker 1: those guys, the more you're gonna have guys who are

2165
01:59:14,720 --> 01:59:16,840
Speaker 1: coming in who are like the guys we talked about

2166
01:59:16,840 --> 01:59:19,800
Speaker 1: in twenty and eighteen. They're like, ah, they got in

2167
01:59:20,000 --> 01:59:22,600
Speaker 1: is kind of lucky, and they're gonna be an eight

2168
01:59:22,640 --> 01:59:24,960
Speaker 1: and eight team who's just in or just out of

2169
01:59:25,040 --> 01:59:27,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs like the Cardinals were last year, because they

2170
01:59:27,160 --> 01:59:30,000
Speaker 1: just don't have enough supporting cast to give these great

2171
01:59:30,000 --> 01:59:34,680
Speaker 1: players a chance. I mean that that game against Buffalo

2172
01:59:36,000 --> 01:59:39,360
Speaker 1: is the quintessentials, their high watermark last year. That's their

2173
01:59:39,400 --> 01:59:46,000
Speaker 1: quintessential formula. That's the formula a hail Mary, chuck it

2174
01:59:46,080 --> 01:59:49,760
Speaker 1: up at the end, and you gotta have and just

2175
01:59:50,080 --> 01:59:55,640
Speaker 1: enough to hang in there to have a long shot

2176
01:59:55,760 --> 01:59:57,480
Speaker 1: chance on the last play of the game to win.

2177
01:59:57,560 --> 01:59:59,680
Speaker 1: And they pull it off. In the regular season once

2178
02:00:01,560 --> 02:00:04,280
Speaker 1: they were in a ton of one score games and

2179
02:00:04,400 --> 02:00:08,080
Speaker 1: you don't and couldn't finish. You need fifty You need

2180
02:00:08,160 --> 02:00:10,560
Speaker 1: a whole roster on those games and those one scores.

2181
02:00:10,600 --> 02:00:12,720
Speaker 1: They have other players, to be fair, they have a

2182
02:00:12,840 --> 02:00:17,120
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker's a great safety. Okay, really good. Patrick Peterson

2183
02:00:17,160 --> 02:00:19,400
Speaker 1: I love, I think he's great, but he's not coming back,

2184
02:00:19,480 --> 02:00:22,200
Speaker 1: and neither is their twelve and a half sex Hassan Reddick.

2185
02:00:22,240 --> 02:00:23,760
Speaker 1: He's not coming back either, not with the money he

2186
02:00:23,840 --> 02:00:27,080
Speaker 1: just shelled out. Unless you lop other people off your roster,

2187
02:00:27,440 --> 02:00:29,640
Speaker 1: and they may do that, yeah, I mean, but even so,

2188
02:00:29,800 --> 02:00:31,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna have. But if you lop some of your

2189
02:00:31,440 --> 02:00:34,960
Speaker 1: good players off, yeah, you're not gonna spend that money

2190
02:00:35,080 --> 02:00:37,600
Speaker 1: replacing him with a because commencer you're gonna write, you're

2191
02:00:37,600 --> 02:00:40,120
Speaker 1: gonna request that you have to spend in volume. Then,

2192
02:00:40,440 --> 02:00:44,000
Speaker 1: because of the high priced premier players are gobbling up

2193
02:00:44,280 --> 02:00:45,720
Speaker 1: a buck. I don't want to I don't want to

2194
02:00:45,720 --> 02:00:48,280
Speaker 1: crush Arizona for signing JJ. We all wanted to sign him.

2195
02:00:48,280 --> 02:00:50,440
Speaker 1: But fifteen and a half million bucks a lot of money.

2196
02:00:50,760 --> 02:00:53,160
Speaker 1: That's a lot of money. I think it's it's overpaid.

2197
02:00:53,240 --> 02:00:54,960
Speaker 1: We say this every time we set it with Levion

2198
02:00:55,040 --> 02:01:00,680
Speaker 1: bell Yep, same plat Where did that get the Jets nowhere?

2199
02:01:00,880 --> 02:01:02,800
Speaker 1: He played on the Chiefs team, played a year and

2200
02:01:02,800 --> 02:01:05,400
Speaker 1: a half for them. He was on the team for

2201
02:01:05,440 --> 02:01:08,440
Speaker 1: a year and a half. Playing is another thing. All right,

2202
02:01:08,440 --> 02:01:10,200
Speaker 1: we gotta take a break because we're up against it.

2203
02:01:10,200 --> 02:01:12,760
Speaker 1: But Jake and Cannon dig what. Bob and Nashville hang tight.

2204
02:01:12,920 --> 02:01:14,960
Speaker 1: You guys are up next as we're back to the phones.

2205
02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:17,760
Speaker 1: When we return here on One Bills Live presented by

2206
02:01:17,800 --> 02:01:33,400
Speaker 1: Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio on you. One

2207
02:01:33,400 --> 02:01:35,560
Speaker 1: of Bills Live, final half hour of the show and

2208
02:01:35,680 --> 02:01:39,000
Speaker 1: for our MSG viewers, we want we wanted to bring

2209
02:01:39,040 --> 02:01:40,960
Speaker 1: these images to you because I noticed this during the

2210
02:01:41,000 --> 02:01:43,560
Speaker 1: breaks so very often we cut away from the show

2211
02:01:43,600 --> 02:01:46,440
Speaker 1: and show you the stadium and the snow early in

2212
02:01:46,480 --> 02:01:49,840
Speaker 1: the show was on the Bill's home sideline, the right

2213
02:01:49,880 --> 02:01:52,240
Speaker 1: side of the screen that our MSG viewers are seeing now.

2214
02:01:52,280 --> 02:01:54,680
Speaker 1: But the winds kicked up. The snow squalls are flying

2215
02:01:54,800 --> 02:01:57,000
Speaker 1: here as winter has returned to western New York. After

2216
02:01:57,000 --> 02:02:01,000
Speaker 1: this was so now at two thirty five five, this

2217
02:02:01,080 --> 02:02:04,520
Speaker 1: is where the snow is now located. It is on

2218
02:02:04,560 --> 02:02:07,160
Speaker 1: the other side, hats on the other It is flipped.

2219
02:02:07,400 --> 02:02:10,080
Speaker 1: The wind has blown it completely to the other side

2220
02:02:10,440 --> 02:02:12,520
Speaker 1: of the stadium, so it's now all sitting on the

2221
02:02:12,640 --> 02:02:16,080
Speaker 1: visiting sideline. This is amazing. No, they were shooting. No,

2222
02:02:16,120 --> 02:02:17,960
Speaker 1: they're shooting it from the other side of the No,

2223
02:02:18,040 --> 02:02:21,840
Speaker 1: I see there's the tunnel. They filled me. They can't

2224
02:02:21,840 --> 02:02:28,480
Speaker 1: you strung us along the whole break. They didn't on purpose.

2225
02:02:28,600 --> 02:02:30,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to get them back for them. Forget it.

2226
02:02:30,680 --> 02:02:33,200
Speaker 1: False alarm everybody. It wasn't that cool when you least

2227
02:02:33,240 --> 02:02:37,000
Speaker 1: expect it. I expected, gentlemen. That's all I'm gonna say.

2228
02:02:37,040 --> 02:02:40,400
Speaker 1: They squashed They totally rused us. I thought they had.

2229
02:02:40,640 --> 02:02:42,760
Speaker 1: We thought they had a live shot. That was from

2230
02:02:42,840 --> 02:02:46,160
Speaker 1: noon when we came on and when they flipped the

2231
02:02:46,240 --> 02:02:48,520
Speaker 1: camera to the where it is now that the snow

2232
02:02:48,560 --> 02:02:50,600
Speaker 1: had gone to the opposite side to the tunnel end zone.

2233
02:02:50,680 --> 02:02:55,200
Speaker 1: They just dits tunnel. We're dumb. Those dirty rats were

2234
02:02:55,320 --> 02:02:58,960
Speaker 1: dumb and now they're trying to apologize. No, no, I'm

2235
02:02:58,960 --> 02:03:02,400
Speaker 1: not telling I'm not accepting that apology expected when you

2236
02:03:02,480 --> 02:03:06,520
Speaker 1: least expect. That's all I'm gonna say. Um made me

2237
02:03:06,560 --> 02:03:08,680
Speaker 1: look like a jack wagon right here on the air.

2238
02:03:08,720 --> 02:03:13,040
Speaker 1: That was terrible. Sorry you could could you tell? When

2239
02:03:13,080 --> 02:03:14,680
Speaker 1: I was a kid, I didn't do very well at

2240
02:03:14,680 --> 02:03:17,120
Speaker 1: what six things are different in this picture from that picture.

2241
02:03:17,920 --> 02:03:21,600
Speaker 1: That's proof of it right there. It's still happening, still happening.

2242
02:03:21,720 --> 02:03:23,480
Speaker 1: One of these things is not like the other. There's

2243
02:03:23,520 --> 02:03:25,960
Speaker 1: a giant scoreboard at the top of the screen. I

2244
02:03:25,960 --> 02:03:29,320
Speaker 1: didn't see the difference. Yeah, not to mention the logo

2245
02:03:29,360 --> 02:03:31,600
Speaker 1: being flipped. But what the hell? What the hell do

2246
02:03:31,640 --> 02:03:35,840
Speaker 1: I have? All Right, I'm a victim. Uh. One other thing.

2247
02:03:35,920 --> 02:03:39,480
Speaker 1: Tom Pella Sero NFL Network, in following up on the

2248
02:03:39,600 --> 02:03:43,040
Speaker 1: jj Watt signing with Arizona News, Uh, that's about two

2249
02:03:43,080 --> 02:03:46,960
Speaker 1: hours old now, he reports. Jj Watt was never going

2250
02:03:47,000 --> 02:03:49,600
Speaker 1: to chase a ring on a cut rate deal. The

2251
02:03:49,680 --> 02:03:52,520
Speaker 1: Cardinals paid up to bring him to Arizona, and Wat

2252
02:03:52,720 --> 02:03:56,960
Speaker 1: loves their attacking scheme one he's thrived in before. Well,

2253
02:03:57,600 --> 02:04:00,560
Speaker 1: at least he's honest, makes sense. He's not He's not

2254
02:04:00,600 --> 02:04:03,120
Speaker 1: getting he's not taking a discount to go chase a ring.

2255
02:04:03,280 --> 02:04:05,640
Speaker 1: And I know this seems it's easy for us, and

2256
02:04:05,720 --> 02:04:07,560
Speaker 1: I did it too. I mean I was thinking, you know, well,

2257
02:04:07,680 --> 02:04:09,600
Speaker 1: what's the guy we were talking about this last week.

2258
02:04:09,680 --> 02:04:12,560
Speaker 1: The guy's probably made eighty five or eighty six million

2259
02:04:12,600 --> 02:04:14,960
Speaker 1: of one hundred and three million dollar contract he signed

2260
02:04:15,000 --> 02:04:17,840
Speaker 1: with the Houston Texans. He pulled all that in. It's

2261
02:04:17,840 --> 02:04:21,160
Speaker 1: all there. H So he's got that, he has made

2262
02:04:21,200 --> 02:04:23,720
Speaker 1: that over the last five years, and this is probably

2263
02:04:23,800 --> 02:04:26,560
Speaker 1: the last big contract he will sign, right, And so

2264
02:04:26,840 --> 02:04:28,880
Speaker 1: you got to think, well, he's got enough money. But

2265
02:04:29,000 --> 02:04:31,000
Speaker 1: here's what you're talking about. Say, for instance, the Bills

2266
02:04:31,000 --> 02:04:33,080
Speaker 1: got him in a cut rate deal of ten million bucks.

2267
02:04:33,520 --> 02:04:35,160
Speaker 1: So he's sitting there going, Okay, I could make ten

2268
02:04:35,200 --> 02:04:39,280
Speaker 1: million dollars this year, or I could make sixteen and

2269
02:04:39,320 --> 02:04:42,480
Speaker 1: a half million fifteen and a half million dollars. So

2270
02:04:42,560 --> 02:04:45,400
Speaker 1: basically he would make the ten million from the Bills

2271
02:04:46,720 --> 02:04:50,080
Speaker 1: tax free after he went to Arizona, right after he

2272
02:04:50,200 --> 02:04:53,240
Speaker 1: comes out too. But that's what he's looking at. I mean,

2273
02:04:53,360 --> 02:04:56,400
Speaker 1: you're looking at you know, five million dollars that goes

2274
02:04:56,400 --> 02:05:03,160
Speaker 1: into your pocket. That's more than a lot of people ever. Yeah,

2275
02:05:03,240 --> 02:05:08,280
Speaker 1: so count me in that group. Yeah. So it's irresponsible.

2276
02:05:08,320 --> 02:05:11,680
Speaker 1: And his agents and his representation whom he's got to

2277
02:05:11,680 --> 02:05:14,320
Speaker 1: trust and probably does. They made the right calls. They listen, JJ,

2278
02:05:14,480 --> 02:05:16,760
Speaker 1: don't you don't have to do that because here's what happens.

2279
02:05:16,800 --> 02:05:18,840
Speaker 1: Who's he gonna do? Like he could pick the team

2280
02:05:18,880 --> 02:05:21,880
Speaker 1: was gonna win the Super Bowl? Just retire, go to

2281
02:05:21,960 --> 02:05:24,880
Speaker 1: Vegas and put money down at five to one odds. Yeah,

2282
02:05:24,920 --> 02:05:28,320
Speaker 1: put some of that eighty million. Put two million bucks

2283
02:05:28,320 --> 02:05:30,040
Speaker 1: on the five to one odds and your gold. You

2284
02:05:30,040 --> 02:05:31,800
Speaker 1: know that's it's so. But there's just no way to

2285
02:05:31,840 --> 02:05:34,320
Speaker 1: do it. It's a you're chasing your tail when you're

2286
02:05:34,320 --> 02:05:35,960
Speaker 1: trying to pick the team that's gonna get the lucky

2287
02:05:36,000 --> 02:05:39,160
Speaker 1: bounce eleven months from now, twelve months from now, ten

2288
02:05:39,200 --> 02:05:41,840
Speaker 1: months from now. Let's get back great Bones and we

2289
02:05:41,920 --> 02:05:44,160
Speaker 1: go to Jake and Kennon dig But Jake, what do

2290
02:05:44,200 --> 02:05:48,240
Speaker 1: you have for us? You're on one Bill's life. See

2291
02:05:48,320 --> 02:05:49,960
Speaker 1: how are you guys? Good? Jake? What do you have

2292
02:05:50,000 --> 02:05:53,280
Speaker 1: for us? First of all, I want to say it's

2293
02:05:53,280 --> 02:05:57,720
Speaker 1: great an honor just to talk to you guys. Um anyways, um,

2294
02:05:57,840 --> 02:05:59,800
Speaker 1: now that I wanted to say, you know, it's kinds

2295
02:05:59,800 --> 02:06:02,160
Speaker 1: of heart on the same subject here, but now that

2296
02:06:02,600 --> 02:06:05,080
Speaker 1: the what menia is kind of over for us here,

2297
02:06:05,360 --> 02:06:08,960
Speaker 1: um kind of thinking, I kind of want to get

2298
02:06:08,960 --> 02:06:12,080
Speaker 1: your thoughts on it here. Uh now, maybe we can

2299
02:06:12,240 --> 02:06:15,680
Speaker 1: kind of try to get Mulano back here. And I've

2300
02:06:15,720 --> 02:06:19,360
Speaker 1: been trying to see hopefully if we can get after

2301
02:06:19,600 --> 02:06:23,960
Speaker 1: in the draft Boogie Basham Junior. Maybe go after Nick's

2302
02:06:24,160 --> 02:06:27,760
Speaker 1: rebuild line, restructure a lot of our defensive line. I

2303
02:06:27,760 --> 02:06:29,480
Speaker 1: think it's where a lot of the problems come with

2304
02:06:29,800 --> 02:06:32,680
Speaker 1: our defense. There's a lot of people have been saying,

2305
02:06:32,720 --> 02:06:36,640
Speaker 1: you know, our linebackers are not doing well. You know,

2306
02:06:36,680 --> 02:06:39,240
Speaker 1: train Jermaine Edmunds. It all comes down on him. You know,

2307
02:06:39,480 --> 02:06:42,120
Speaker 1: she's not stepping up to the plate. I don't think

2308
02:06:42,160 --> 02:06:44,560
Speaker 1: that's true, you know, And you know, we do little

2309
02:06:44,560 --> 02:06:46,520
Speaker 1: extra work on the line and see where things go,

2310
02:06:46,880 --> 02:06:49,560
Speaker 1: maybe free agency and see what we can do. Your

2311
02:06:49,600 --> 02:06:52,640
Speaker 1: thoughts and yeah, great, guys, Yeah, thanks for the call.

2312
02:06:54,480 --> 02:06:57,400
Speaker 1: That all sounds well and good, but that's a long

2313
02:06:57,520 --> 02:06:59,760
Speaker 1: list and the Bills don't have the money to do

2314
02:06:59,840 --> 02:07:03,560
Speaker 1: all that stuff. And as I said earlier in the show, Steve,

2315
02:07:03,960 --> 02:07:07,520
Speaker 1: just because you saw JJ Watt signed for fifteen and

2316
02:07:07,520 --> 02:07:11,680
Speaker 1: a half million in Arizona doesn't mean that that's fifteen

2317
02:07:11,720 --> 02:07:16,360
Speaker 1: million that the Bills have to spend. It's apples and oranges.

2318
02:07:16,920 --> 02:07:20,200
Speaker 1: And because they didn't sign what I think there are

2319
02:07:20,200 --> 02:07:22,800
Speaker 1: Bills fans that think, oh, well that frees them up

2320
02:07:22,800 --> 02:07:26,080
Speaker 1: to sign Milano. Now I don't know that that's true. Yeah,

2321
02:07:26,120 --> 02:07:30,160
Speaker 1: you don't get extra money for not signing a free agent. Yeah,

2322
02:07:29,840 --> 02:07:33,400
Speaker 1: you have the same money. It doesn't mean it enhances

2323
02:07:33,440 --> 02:07:37,320
Speaker 1: the chances either. Because I think ultimately what Matt Milano

2324
02:07:37,400 --> 02:07:39,880
Speaker 1: wants to do is test his value on the market.

2325
02:07:40,200 --> 02:07:42,680
Speaker 1: And I think Brandon Bean knows that, which is why

2326
02:07:42,720 --> 02:07:44,200
Speaker 1: he said what he said. It is a season rapp

2327
02:07:44,240 --> 02:07:46,920
Speaker 1: a press conference, and I think Brandon Bean and everybody

2328
02:07:46,920 --> 02:07:49,400
Speaker 1: in that front office knows if Matt Mlana goes out

2329
02:07:49,400 --> 02:07:51,839
Speaker 1: and tests the market, he's going to get a premium

2330
02:07:51,920 --> 02:07:54,840
Speaker 1: dollar for his services, and probably the kind of money

2331
02:07:54,880 --> 02:07:57,440
Speaker 1: that the Bills with their current cap situation just can't

2332
02:07:57,440 --> 02:08:01,400
Speaker 1: compete with. Right, that's right, You're right. I mean you

2333
02:08:01,440 --> 02:08:04,280
Speaker 1: went down the list. You know. If you can resign Milano, okay,

2334
02:08:04,280 --> 02:08:06,480
Speaker 1: that's great. But if you can't, you're gonna have to

2335
02:08:06,600 --> 02:08:09,800
Speaker 1: even so you're gonna have to restructure some guys or

2336
02:08:10,280 --> 02:08:12,240
Speaker 1: flat out release some guys to get under the cap.

2337
02:08:12,280 --> 02:08:14,000
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to do something. Now, we've talked to

2338
02:08:14,200 --> 02:08:18,440
Speaker 1: that there's an option both on Dion Dawkins contract and

2339
02:08:19,240 --> 02:08:23,080
Speaker 1: today's White contract, which will clear up about fourteen million,

2340
02:08:23,160 --> 02:08:25,120
Speaker 1: fourteen and a half million dollars a cap space. It's

2341
02:08:25,160 --> 02:08:28,360
Speaker 1: just an option of that the club can pick up,

2342
02:08:28,400 --> 02:08:31,040
Speaker 1: and it just it just gives the club the option

2343
02:08:31,080 --> 02:08:34,160
Speaker 1: to give those guys some money up front so that

2344
02:08:34,280 --> 02:08:36,200
Speaker 1: it won't go against the cap this year, and it'll

2345
02:08:36,200 --> 02:08:38,960
Speaker 1: be spread out through the remainder of their contract that

2346
02:08:39,080 --> 02:08:42,920
Speaker 1: puts the bills under the cap right away. Having said that,

2347
02:08:42,960 --> 02:08:47,200
Speaker 1: they still wouldn't have enough money to resign enough players

2348
02:08:47,280 --> 02:08:50,880
Speaker 1: to have a starting eleven on both sides of the ball, yeah,

2349
02:08:51,480 --> 02:08:53,920
Speaker 1: which they don't right now. They don't have enough offensive

2350
02:08:53,920 --> 02:08:57,760
Speaker 1: linemen to field a team. So that is job one,

2351
02:08:58,000 --> 02:09:01,800
Speaker 1: getting that financial house in order before they go on

2352
02:09:01,840 --> 02:09:03,600
Speaker 1: and now, and I said this in the beginning of

2353
02:09:03,600 --> 02:09:07,480
Speaker 1: the show as well. The philosophy has always been in

2354
02:09:07,600 --> 02:09:10,520
Speaker 1: normal years that Brandon Bean and the staff they go

2355
02:09:10,520 --> 02:09:13,120
Speaker 1: out and they'll sign a bunch of free agents to

2356
02:09:13,120 --> 02:09:15,240
Speaker 1: fill up their roster to the point where they you know,

2357
02:09:15,280 --> 02:09:17,240
Speaker 1: if push came to show, we could go to training

2358
02:09:17,240 --> 02:09:19,320
Speaker 1: camp with the guys we have, and then when the

2359
02:09:19,440 --> 02:09:24,120
Speaker 1: draft comes around, whatever position is the best guy, whichever

2360
02:09:24,240 --> 02:09:26,480
Speaker 1: guy on the board, no matter what position he plays,

2361
02:09:26,560 --> 02:09:29,720
Speaker 1: that's being drafted this year, has the best chance to

2362
02:09:29,760 --> 02:09:33,120
Speaker 1: have the absolute best pro career. That's the guy the

2363
02:09:33,120 --> 02:09:35,880
Speaker 1: Bills want to take, whatever position he is, so they'll

2364
02:09:35,920 --> 02:09:37,560
Speaker 1: get the most out of those picks that they have

2365
02:09:37,800 --> 02:09:39,600
Speaker 1: that they do take. That's where they want to get

2366
02:09:39,640 --> 02:09:41,480
Speaker 1: in free agency, so they can take the best player

2367
02:09:41,520 --> 02:09:45,040
Speaker 1: available in the draft. But they can't. They're not there yet.

2368
02:09:45,320 --> 02:09:47,720
Speaker 1: They're not to that point yet. They don't have enough

2369
02:09:47,720 --> 02:09:53,360
Speaker 1: money to sign enough players to be camp ready so

2370
02:09:53,440 --> 02:09:57,400
Speaker 1: to speak. Yeah, and he mentioned Carlos Basham Boogie Basham,

2371
02:09:58,400 --> 02:10:02,120
Speaker 1: pass rushing linebacker out of Wake Forest in the draft,

2372
02:10:02,720 --> 02:10:06,800
Speaker 1: and I've seen him mocked anywhere from second half around

2373
02:10:06,800 --> 02:10:10,760
Speaker 1: one to first half. A round two kid that looks

2374
02:10:10,800 --> 02:10:14,520
Speaker 1: good on the hoof, got a probody, already, can run

2375
02:10:14,520 --> 02:10:19,760
Speaker 1: and hit. But I'm I love Matt Milano as a player.

2376
02:10:19,920 --> 02:10:21,600
Speaker 1: I love his game. I know what he means to

2377
02:10:21,640 --> 02:10:25,040
Speaker 1: this defense. But I gotta tell you, knowing the front

2378
02:10:25,120 --> 02:10:28,920
Speaker 1: office talent that the Bills have in terms of personnel

2379
02:10:29,440 --> 02:10:32,880
Speaker 1: evaluators and the way that they've been able to replenish

2380
02:10:32,880 --> 02:10:36,640
Speaker 1: this roster through the draft, and knowing the plethora of

2381
02:10:36,760 --> 02:10:40,280
Speaker 1: linebacker talent in this year's class, I am not worried

2382
02:10:40,320 --> 02:10:43,000
Speaker 1: about them replacing Matt Milano. Yeah, as long as they

2383
02:10:43,080 --> 02:10:45,600
Speaker 1: do it with a pick somewhere on the first two days.

2384
02:10:45,680 --> 02:10:48,120
Speaker 1: This is the downside of the way the Bills are

2385
02:10:48,160 --> 02:10:51,520
Speaker 1: running their organization right now. Now. They're competitive, very competitive,

2386
02:10:51,600 --> 02:10:53,440
Speaker 1: year in year out. It's been fun, it's great. But

2387
02:10:53,600 --> 02:10:55,920
Speaker 1: the hard part is where we're at right now. You

2388
02:10:56,000 --> 02:10:58,440
Speaker 1: gotta say some say goodbye to some people who really

2389
02:10:58,480 --> 02:11:01,960
Speaker 1: played well for you. You gotta just you gotta say

2390
02:11:02,040 --> 02:11:04,440
Speaker 1: thank you, but so long. And that's really hard to

2391
02:11:04,480 --> 02:11:06,240
Speaker 1: do at this time of year. After they just put

2392
02:11:06,280 --> 02:11:09,200
Speaker 1: together a thirteen wins season, got to the championship game

2393
02:11:09,880 --> 02:11:12,120
Speaker 1: in the conference, to say, you know what, that guy,

2394
02:11:12,160 --> 02:11:15,360
Speaker 1: that guy, that guy, so long, it's been great, appreciate you,

2395
02:11:15,600 --> 02:11:17,480
Speaker 1: and then trust that they're going to be able to

2396
02:11:17,520 --> 02:11:21,000
Speaker 1: fill those holes and put a product on the field.

2397
02:11:21,000 --> 02:11:22,600
Speaker 1: It's going to be just as fun to watch. That's

2398
02:11:22,640 --> 02:11:24,600
Speaker 1: hard to do it this time of year. But that's

2399
02:11:24,880 --> 02:11:27,600
Speaker 1: that's the downside of the philosophy that the Bills are.

2400
02:11:27,600 --> 02:11:32,960
Speaker 1: I'd rather have the downside here right now than you know. October.

2401
02:11:33,360 --> 02:11:36,000
Speaker 1: That's right, we are up against the clock, Bob in Nashville.

2402
02:11:36,000 --> 02:11:37,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry we couldn't get to you. Be sure to

2403
02:11:38,120 --> 02:11:40,600
Speaker 1: call us on One Bills Live another day tomorrow even

2404
02:11:40,640 --> 02:11:42,480
Speaker 1: We'll be sure to get to you as we are

2405
02:11:42,520 --> 02:11:44,520
Speaker 1: at a time right now. Steve and I back to

2406
02:11:44,600 --> 02:11:47,280
Speaker 1: wrap things up when we return here on One Bills Live,

2407
02:11:47,320 --> 02:11:49,800
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio

2408
02:12:03,240 --> 02:12:05,920
Speaker 1: at time of the show What have we learned? Brought

2409
02:12:05,960 --> 02:12:09,400
Speaker 1: to you by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental company

2410
02:12:10,040 --> 02:12:15,640
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. Jordan Phillips of the Arizona Cardinals

2411
02:12:15,680 --> 02:12:17,240
Speaker 1: just put out a tweet who said who are you

2412
02:12:17,240 --> 02:12:21,680
Speaker 1: gonna double now? Lool, and he met a flurry of

2413
02:12:21,760 --> 02:12:25,960
Speaker 1: responses on Twitter, one of which also the first of

2414
02:12:25,960 --> 02:12:28,600
Speaker 1: which said, you won't be a cardinal in two weeks now.

2415
02:12:28,600 --> 02:12:30,760
Speaker 1: If you look closer at his contract, yes, he's a

2416
02:12:30,760 --> 02:12:32,800
Speaker 1: twelve million dollars cap hit this year, but if you

2417
02:12:32,840 --> 02:12:35,200
Speaker 1: cut him one point, it's only a one and a

2418
02:12:35,240 --> 02:12:38,920
Speaker 1: half million dollars savings, and that's really not a cost

2419
02:12:38,920 --> 02:12:42,120
Speaker 1: effective move in terms of what you would lose with

2420
02:12:42,240 --> 02:12:44,480
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips on the field. Next year is the year

2421
02:12:44,520 --> 02:12:47,040
Speaker 1: where Jordan Phillips could be in trouble where he would

2422
02:12:47,080 --> 02:12:50,400
Speaker 1: be an eight million dollar cap savings for the Cardinals.

2423
02:12:50,440 --> 02:12:52,240
Speaker 1: But they're gonna have to make some tough decisions on

2424
02:12:52,240 --> 02:12:55,080
Speaker 1: that roster to have enough cap space to do the

2425
02:12:55,080 --> 02:12:57,840
Speaker 1: rest of their offseason business, and they may have to

2426
02:12:57,880 --> 02:13:00,160
Speaker 1: get rid of some other high cap figure players who

2427
02:13:00,200 --> 02:13:02,640
Speaker 1: would represent a larger cap savings. Yeah, there's a couple

2428
02:13:02,640 --> 02:13:07,080
Speaker 1: of likely suspects. Justin Pugh the guards making eleven point one,

2429
02:13:07,600 --> 02:13:10,240
Speaker 1: he'd had a corner too, right, Robert Alfred. He'd say

2430
02:13:10,240 --> 02:13:12,040
Speaker 1: he's only a four million dollar cap hit, so that's

2431
02:13:12,200 --> 02:13:16,160
Speaker 1: a seven million dollar cap savings. There. There's Robert Alfred,

2432
02:13:16,160 --> 02:13:19,880
Speaker 1: the corner who's dead. He's got a nine million dollar

2433
02:13:19,960 --> 02:13:23,000
Speaker 1: cap hit and it's only one point five million dead

2434
02:13:23,040 --> 02:13:24,560
Speaker 1: cap if you cut him, So that's a seven and

2435
02:13:24,600 --> 02:13:28,520
Speaker 1: a half million savings. There's no there, right us Jordan

2436
02:13:28,640 --> 02:13:32,240
Speaker 1: Hicks linebacker nine million dollar cap hits, six million dollars

2437
02:13:33,200 --> 02:13:36,400
Speaker 1: dead caps would be three million dollars savings. There's a

2438
02:13:36,400 --> 02:13:39,640
Speaker 1: couple of Devin Kinnard, would you'd cut his seven point

2439
02:13:39,720 --> 02:13:43,200
Speaker 1: nine million dollars cap hit in half? So yeah, it'll

2440
02:13:43,200 --> 02:13:46,800
Speaker 1: be interesting there. Yeah. And they won't be alone. Yeah,

2441
02:13:46,960 --> 02:13:48,640
Speaker 1: they won't be alone. They're they're one of a lot

2442
02:13:48,680 --> 02:13:50,600
Speaker 1: of teams that are right at the cap board, a

2443
02:13:50,600 --> 02:13:52,800
Speaker 1: little bit below it. That's they've got to do it.

2444
02:13:52,800 --> 02:13:54,640
Speaker 1: The Bills are one of them, and they're just waiting

2445
02:13:54,720 --> 02:13:58,240
Speaker 1: for that solid official salary cap number for twenty twenty

2446
02:13:58,240 --> 02:14:01,160
Speaker 1: one to come out and then let the cuts begin.

2447
02:14:01,240 --> 02:14:03,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna happen league wide. Steve and I done for
