1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: Joined on the line right now by a familiar face,

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: if well, familiar name anyway, the facebook's a little different.

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: We're life on the line with the pro football gamer

4
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: Andre Reid, ghost receiver fourteen sixteen season in the NFL

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: fourteen with the Bills. And Andre. We can see on

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: our Skype vision here you have a little is that

7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: a goatee? How would you describe that feard you have?

8
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: It's it's it's straight up the Andrethal. Man. I'm letting

9
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: it go just in case the top goes, so I

10
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: can take this off and put it on top. It's

11
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,639
Speaker 1: quite great. You're aware of that. It's great, right, yeah, man,

12
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: you know what it is what it is, and I

13
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: think you know, thirty years ago when we all were playing,

14
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: you know, Savy, nobody had no gray hair. This is

15
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: hardly people that had hair on their face period. So

16
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: it's just it's called the experience, that's what it's called.

17
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 1: You're a great man, Hey, thanks for coming on. It's

18
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: great seeing you busy. You've been busy lately. You're staying busy.

19
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: You say you're gonna go out and play golf a

20
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: little bit this afternoon. They're opening things up out there. Yeah, well, California, man,

21
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: just like you know some of these states. Uh, the

22
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: governors are are kind of loosening the leash a little bit. Uh.

23
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: They started to open up the beaches down here about

24
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: a week ago. Golf courses are steadily coming back. Um,

25
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: you still have to do the social distancing. And actually

26
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: the course I'm going to I played there a couple

27
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: of days ago and they take your temperature. So they're

28
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: doing everything they're supposed to be doing. As far as

29
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: this uh pandemic is concerned. It's face of guys, this

30
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: is a different world now. We're going through a lot

31
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: of stuff. You know, economically, we're in the sports business.

32
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: Sports is going to be different. Who knows what's going

33
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: to happen with the league this year. They got a

34
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: contingency plan, as you said, Murph, that they just in

35
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: case some things go on, um that they're gonna you know, implement.

36
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: It won't be the same. And it seems like we've

37
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: been going on this through this for about a year,

38
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: but it's only been two months. So I think we

39
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: all have to sit tight. We got to be patient,

40
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: let things kind of follow where they may, and you know,

41
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: hopefully there is a season I know, Bill's fans are

42
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: so excited about this year. I'm sure we'll talk about

43
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: that a little bit. But let's face it, man, sports

44
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: is a part of the American genre. If we don't

45
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: have sports, people tend to get a little more testy.

46
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: So it's it's essential that sports do come back, you know,

47
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: not only for the players and everybody involved, but for

48
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: the people too. Andre Reid, Pro Football of Fame, around

49
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: the line with us, and I hear what you're saying

50
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: about California where you live, Andre, I do keep reading

51
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: that like the governor and other California officials are doubtful

52
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: about the putting people in stadiums either early this fall

53
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: or even at all during the fall. How do you

54
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: think that's gonna play out? I mean, there's what three

55
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: NFL teams out in the state in California. Yeah, well yeah,

56
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: I mean you look at some of the players, and

57
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: some of the athletes are saying, well, I'm not going

58
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: to play without new fans. You know, that's just like

59
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: when we were strike in the nineteen eighty seven. Oh,

60
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna cross the picking line, but the pressure

61
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: you get, I mean I didn't cross the picking line.

62
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: I'm just saying the pressure is there, and guys end

63
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: up crossing the line. So I think there's gonna be

64
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure from the inside from the outside

65
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: for athletes to do things in a certain manner. I mean,

66
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: what is it gonna be like with no fans cheering

67
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: for you in the stadium? Is everything gonna be virtual

68
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 1: like it is now? You know, how are the big

69
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: name players. I mean, you heard I don't know if

70
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: you guys heard Lebron saying I'm not playing with no fans,

71
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: and you know, all the big name players in sports

72
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: are really very skeptical about playing with no fans, and

73
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: the fans really don't care. I think the fans are

74
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: gonna be there regardless if there's a if they say, hey,

75
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: you gotta sit six feet apart, fans are gonna be

76
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: at the stadiums because that's part of it. Again earlier

77
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: I said it's part of our makeup. It's part of

78
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: a person's makeup. Is sports is a part of their makeup.

79
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: So whatever they do, you know, I think it will

80
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: be best for the players and best for the country,

81
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: best for the fans, et cetera, et cetera. One of

82
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: the questions that's arisen from this playing without fans is

83
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: what will happen when somebody scores a touchdown and there's

84
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: no crowd noise or anything, And the TV networks are

85
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: thinking about maybe even just piping in crowd noise so

86
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: it feels normal. What do you think about how did

87
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: it feel? I mean, it's gonna be weird for the

88
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: players to score touchdown, nobody cheers, especially at home. What

89
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: would it feel like to watch a game for you?

90
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: What do you think about the crowd noise and the

91
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: lack or lack thereof. I think it's facing bro. The

92
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: crowd noise gets you hype. That's really what the crowd's about.

93
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: Not only is an entertainment for them, but in some

94
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: cases it's been entertainment for us. I mean, you know

95
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: the stadiums we've been, and you know, fans are crazy,

96
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: and that's where they get their release. You know, they

97
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: work all week and they do all the stuff they

98
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: have to do all week in their job. Going to

99
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: a stadium on a Sunday or Monday night or Thursday

100
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: night or Saturday night game or whatever in college, that's

101
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: kind of a release for them. So they get that

102
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: act out anyway, they want to. You know, Bills fans,

103
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: they act out anyway they want to, and that's kind

104
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: of a release for them. So how are they gonna

105
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: deal with that when there's no fans in the game,

106
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to act out at the house, and

107
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how that's gonna go. So we're all

108
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: liking a pot right now and trying to pull things

109
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: out to see how it's gonna be. I just hope

110
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: sports gets back. Whether or not it gets back to

111
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: normalcy right away, that probably won't happen. The country's got

112
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: to get back first before we feel good about what's

113
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: going on in sports. Well live with pro football all

114
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: the famer Andre Reid, of course, formerly with the Buffalo Bills. Hey, Andre,

115
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 1: coronavirus and the pandemic and the quarantine desiple to be

116
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: affecting anyone. But you're kind of doing your part. I

117
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: read where you delivered meals to San Diego's police department,

118
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: part of a church's coronavirus or leading effort and working

119
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: with a farmer and a player of Miles McPherson and

120
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: current Raiders wide receiver Tyrrell Williams. Tell us about that,

121
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: What were you doing there, well, Miles, you know Miles

00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: uh mcpher shay not only a leader in the community

123
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: here in San Diego, he's a pastor. The Rock Church

124
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: is really important to me. I go to Rock to

125
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: the Rock Church almost every Sunday. We have a virtual

126
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: online meeting with as you said, Tyrelle Williams, Reggie Bush

127
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: comes in there. Sometimes you had Chase Daniel. So it's

128
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: kind of like a little Bible study, uh, for for

129
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: former players to talk about, you know, different issues and

130
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: things that they go go through and then you know,

131
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: talk about you know, just getting God's word and let's

132
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: face it, we need and anything right now. Uh, you know,

133
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: to calm everybody to know that it's gonna be okay,

134
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: and uh to go down to the police department, the

135
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: first responders, all the people around the country, the healthcare workers.

136
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: Just seeing these healthcare people going day in and day

137
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: out and are there for hours what ask on and

138
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: risking their lives, uh and saving lives at the expense

139
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: of their own lives. So we have to we have

140
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: to respond to them and get back to them and

141
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: show appreciation not only for them, but you know, our

142
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: police department, our fire department. Um, these are people that

143
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: go on notice a lot of times, you know, they're

144
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: in the news for different reasons. Um, it's it's important

145
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: that we give the props to them that they're trying

146
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: to keep everything out of solid you know, on the ground,

147
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: solid ground. And that's what I'm doing. Plus I'm doing

148
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: a lot of different things. Uh uh you know. Actually

149
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:39,000

154
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: you know, especially in business. Um. So it's uh, it's

155
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: about taking control yourself, taking control of yourself, and it

156
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: should be really good. And again, I'm doing a lot

157
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: of different things, man, a lot of things unnoticed. Yeah,

158
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: and it's it's also it's a strange offseason and it's

159
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: a strange time for everybody. And I have you been

160
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: noticing what the Bills have been doing. One of the

161
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: big things they've done and they went out and got

162
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: us Stefan Diggs, who's one of the really good receivers

163
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: at the top of the league. What do you think

164
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: that does for a team, Dre. I mean you played

165
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: wide out could and you are around in nineteen eighty nine,

166
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: you're the number one receiver and you know we're kind

167
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: of we just need one extra guy. You know, we

168
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: need one guy, We need somebody. So the Bills go

169
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: out and they get James Lofton. He was already had

170
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: a great career, and it's later in his career he

171
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: comes in. Talk about how that changed the dynamic, not

172
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: only just of are me and you sitting in the

173
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: receiver room have James come in and they hit the

174
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: you know, the funny guy he was and the fun

175
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: he added to the room, but also the help he

176
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: gave you on the field? How did that change that offense?

177
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: Mad respect man save you every time? When James Lofton signed,

178
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, it's about the It's about to

179
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: go down now. Because again, like you said, he's been

180
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: he was established in Green Bay, He's he did a

181
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: lot in the league, went to went to uh Oakland

182
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: or the LA Raiders at the time, and not only

183
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: did he bring a sense of of of confidence to

184
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: us as a receiver group, but just his presence not

185
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: only on the field, but off the field and what

186
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: he brang, you couldn't help but be better and just

187
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: watching him. And I remember back in nineteen eighty five

188
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: when I came in the league, Jerry Butler was a guy.

189
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: I watched Murphy, Remember Jerry Ye and they said, if

190
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: you won't want to be good and you want to

191
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: stay in this league, watched number eighty and I watched

192
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: him like a hawk. I mean I had wings. Everywhere

193
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: he went. I was either behind him or right beside

194
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: him taking notes. And I think these young kids now,

195
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: the two kids we drafted, the young man out of

196
00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: Oregon State and and Gabriel Davis. Big kids can run

197
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: good routes, can catch a ball. It's gonna be an

198
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: adjustment for them because of this pandemic that's going on.

199
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: There's no I'm sure there's no OTAs. Everything's virtual again.

200
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to be in their playbook because they're

201
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: not gonna have the on field experience, So they're gonna

202
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: have to hit the ground running. And when you have

203
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: veterans on your team like John Brown and Cole Beasley

204
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: and all these guys that they have there offensively and defensively,

205
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: this is gonna make your team a little bit more

206
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: confident every time you step on the field. And that's

207
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: really going to be important for every single team this year.

208
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: To be successful is rely on your veterans, and then

209
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: you got to do the extra work to make you better,

210
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: to make the whole team better. Bye with Andre Reid,

211
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills. Hey, Andre,

212
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: the Bills did draft two white outs and you mention

213
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: him Hodgens from Oregon State, and of course gave Davis

214
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: both of them. With size and length, how much of

215
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: a factor is that? Do you think have a wide

216
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: receiving corps that has some short little guys who can

217
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: run and some fast guys who can I mean some

218
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: tall guys who can you know, be a better target

219
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: for the quarterback? I would think, yeah, no doubt about it.

220
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: It's a double head sword. I mean, always go to

221
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: When I came to the league, it was always the

222
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: short receivers, you know, the Mark Dupers and to Mark

223
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: Clayton's I can jump. And as receivers got bigger, defensive

224
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: backs had to get bigger. Um. Now defensive backs are

225
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: tall and lanky, and oh do we lose him? I

226
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: think we just froze up andread we lost you for

227
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: just a second. We'll try and reconnect with him. Um. Obviously, obviously,

228
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: Andre has got a ton going on and he still

229
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: takes great interest in the bills. He's he's on this

230
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: five President's tech loop that we use all the time,

231
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: and he's always he's as busy as anybody of that

232
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: old group. You know what I mean, Murph doing the

233
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: stuff he's doing for um, you know the people out

234
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: in California, the Department, the San Diego Police Department and

235
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: teaming up with Miles McPherson and also Tyrrell Williams. Good

236
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: to hear about him doing that stuff. It's been it's

237
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: been a lot of fun watching him become that kind

238
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: of Hall of Fame type of character and the type

239
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame type of guy. He plays it up

240
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: to the max. He gets the most out of it

241
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: and helps a lot of people with his position as

242
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer. It's good to see, you know what.

243
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: I didn't ask him, and we're running out of time

244
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: a little bit. We're getting back up here in a

245
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 1: second year. But you were there when Lofton shows up.

246
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: It didn't sound like there was any thought from Andre,

247
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: who was getting well established, not quite there, but getting

248
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: pretty well established. But there was no concern over, oh,

249
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: how many touches am I gonna get? How am I

250
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: gonna how many targets am I gonna get? Now? With this, uh,

251
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: hall of fame or this yeah, hall of fame receiver

252
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: James Lofton on the roster didn't seem like that was

253
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: a consideration back then. Steve wasn't. No, it wasn't. It wasn't.

254
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: They were looking. They were always looking for somebody to

255
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: help on, very much like they were helping somebody to

256
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: help um, you know, John Brown, Cole Beasley. It was

257
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: a little bit like that in eighty nine when we

258
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: had Don Beebean and Andre. They kind of needed that

259
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 1: big body guy on the outside, a guy that could

260
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: go up and get it, a guy that could stretch

261
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: and take the top off the defense and also be

262
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: a threat in his own right. James Lawton filled that role. Yeah,

263
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: he filled that. James filled that role admirably. But also uh,

264
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: and Andre, we got Andre back, Andrew. We're talking about

265
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: James Lawt in his contribution, And it wasn't it just

266
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: it wasn't only that James was a great player and

267
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: an established player, and the and the right body type,

268
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: the big, strong guy, go down the field, deep threat

269
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: kind of guy. But he was also a great teammate,

270
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: a guy that was great in the locker room, a

271
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: guy that was great in our meeting rooms, just as

272
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: wide receiver was Nick Nikolau. Nick and James had a

273
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: history together. Nick had coached James in LA. His chemistry

274
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 1: and his ability to be humble and good humored and

275
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: work hard really aided not only in his relationship with you,

276
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: but also in his ability to mesh with the team

277
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: and start contributing almost right from the from the get go. Yeah,

278
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: he um, you know what he did in LA was awesome.

279
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: And I think, uh uh, he knew the situation he

280
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: was coming in, and I think he was more excited

281
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: than probably we were because we we knew, but we

282
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: didn't know how fast he would grasp everything. And if

283
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: you remember that game against uh Atlanta back and um,

284
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: I think it was Dean Sanders first game and James

285
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: Lofton had a touchdown and he just we started to

286
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: know huddle. I think that game, so you know, things

287
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: just happened and the ball got rolling, Jim got confidence.

288
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: We all got confidence and you know, the rest is

289
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: history and we really, uh you cook off from there.

290
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: Andre Reid is on the line of US Live talking

291
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: about the Bills back then and the Bills now you.

292
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: Um I wanted to ask you about receivers making the

293
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: adjustment to back. We had a guy on the earlier today,

294
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: Andre talking about how Josh Allen and Matt Barkley are

295
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: working out in southern California with the two rookie wide receivers.

296
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: That's important, isn't it. That's the kind of thing that

297
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: gets done among the meaningless practices, so called meaningless practices

298
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: in the spring, and OTA's the one thing they can

299
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: do is work on time in with receivers. I haven't

300
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: trusted that Josh Allen is doing that now, yeah, and

301
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: he knows how important it is. I think Josh has

302
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: tooken a you know, a couple of steps, and then

303
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: last year to be in a not only elite quarterback

304
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: in the league, but to the next level, this Buffalo

305
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: Bill team, and to bring these two rookies in and

306
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: to have you know, the veterans that he needs on

307
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: that team, and basically it is his team to a

308
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: certain point, and the more weapons you have the more

309
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: confidence you have coming in and for him to be

310
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: out here in southern California working with these guys is

311
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: a big plus. Again, with everything happening, to get a

312
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: jump on everything. And I'm sure he's not the only

313
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: one doing it. I'm sure a lot of the other

314
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are doing it too. But this is what they

315
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: need to do, not only to familiarize themselves there themselves together,

316
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: but again and I want to see how you run

317
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: this route. This is the adjustment that you need to

318
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: make on this um and different just verbiage that he

319
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: needs to give them. So when they get together and

320
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: it's running that they're they're already one step ahead. John
