Speaker 1: the water bottle there, Steve, to clean off your pad.

10
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: I have this one of those way to be resourceful

11
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 1: they call his rocket books. I got one of those. Yeah,

12
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: I'm got to clean it up so I can write

13
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,319
Speaker 1: down the important things that you say when you use

14
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: that thing, which is a pretty remarkable thing. I will say,

15
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: I use it every day. I know it's great. Um

16
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: I was. Do you know what it reminds me of?

17
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: Do you remember those little gray tab blitz and you

18
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: had the red plastic pen wax paper on the top

19
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: of that and you'd have to lift the cellophane paper

20
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: up to erase everything that What the hell was that

21
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: thing called? It's like the it's like the precursor to

22
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: that thing that is like the stone age thing of

23
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,559
Speaker 1: this new thing which rocket only makes me feel old.

24
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: But I gotta i gotta remember the name of that thing.

25
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look it up, but I'll try to remember

26
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: the name of it. But you you write and scribble

27
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: and do whatever you did, and then you'd lift that

28
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: cellophane sheet up and it would erase everything you wrote

29
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: under it. Man, let me tell you something. It's like

30
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: the kids version of carbon paper, which anybody born after

31
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty does not know what the hell that is. Yeah,

32
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: carbon paper. And when I first started working in the

33
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: in the news business, when I say it, when I

34
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: was interning, you run you run scripts around, right, script

35
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: for the producer's script, for the directors, script for the

36
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: for the guy on air, the script for the uh

37
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: teleprompter guy, you know, like and that you know you

38
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: had different they'd type that, yeah, and it would come

39
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: out like you have six pieces of paper stacked on

40
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: top of each other. It would you know, they'd all

41
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: have a copy of it on there. But there was

42
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: a little carbon paper carbon copy, Oh my gosh, which

43
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,200

00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: that person that's BS and they don't see the internet.

Speaker 1: know what CC stands carbon copy. I had one of

52
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: the young guys here when my birthday was a couple

53
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: months ago, Kevin Carr, Justter James. I think it's Kevin

00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: The we're the pictures I would show me that, you know.

60
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: I it's not enough to execute the request. I said,

61
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: let me just tell you to document. This is the

62
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: exact words of my text were something like, old guys,

63
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: don't do that stuff because it always comes back to hunt. Right,

64
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: you never take pictures of yourself doing shots tequila on

65
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: your birthday because it always comes back when you want

66
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: a job interview, right, and I and then I said,

67
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: you know, remember that my young apprentice. Yeah, you know.

68
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: And then what did he send back? Okay boomers? That

69
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: was an awesome response. He's going to hit you with

70
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: an okay boomer. Yes, So welcome to the show. Some

71
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: NFL news and notes to deliver to you find folks

72
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: out there. Um number one, because we've it's been a

73
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: subject that Bills players and coaches and even GM Brandon

74
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: being have been questioned on. And I'm sure that is

75
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: the case in other far reaches of the league, you know,

76
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: as OTAs and mini camps are getting underway here these

77
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. So Washington head coach Ron Rivera

78
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: looks like he's taking a similar approach that the Bills

79
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: are taking in terms of choosing the education route on

80
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: COVID vaccinations. The Bills have said they are trying to

81
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: educate their players at every opportunity they get about vaccinations

82
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: and the truth and not what they find online or

83
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: on social media about it. So what Washington head coach

84
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera has done, Steve, he brought in a vaccine

85
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: expert to talk to his players, did that on Tuesday,

86
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: did it just yesterday in an effort to get everybody

87
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: more up to speed on the pros of the vaccines,

88
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: and he basically said they are nearing fifty percent vaccination

89
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 1: rate for his roster. As we know the league, it's believed,

90
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: it's not ratified yet, but it's believed they are going

91
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: to demand an eighty five percent vaccination figure to basically

92
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: loosen any and all restrictions in their respective NFL facilities

93
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: for many camp, training camp, whatever. It might be, right,

94
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: But Rivera said quote, there's a lot of messaging out

95
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: there that they get off Twitter, and some of it's

96
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: good and some of it's bad. So I think it's

97
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: a good idea, you know, bring in an expert. This

98
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: isn't me the coach saying hey, it might be a

99
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: good idea to get a vaccine. It's an expert that

100
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: is explaining the pros in getting one and what really is.

101
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: It's interesting too because then you got players in there

102
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: because and I've said this before on the show, you

103
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: want to talk about a tough crowd, give a speech

104
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: in front of an NFL locker, in an NFL team meeting. Yeah,

105
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 1: those guys are big, they're smart, they're athletic, they a

106
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: lot of money. It's a pretty confident group. Yeah, and

107
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: it's not it's not an easy group to catch. It's

108
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: not kindergartner's in there. Yeah, you're they're not because they'll

109
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: be like they got all their hands in here and

110
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: say what about what about this? Yeah, and they're like

111
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: some of them enjoy confrontation or they shut you off

112
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: and like yeah, they're like, man, what about they won't

113
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: shut you off. They won't. They don't let you off

114
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: the hook. They will embarrass you. What about this? You know?

115
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: What about that? They'll ask questions. So, whoever this in

116
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: this expert is you can I'll say this. You know.

117
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: The relationship between Sean McDermott and Ron Rivera, I mean

118
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: they McDermott was his defensive coordinator and Rivera called the

119
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: Bills when he took the Washington job, called Brandon Bean

120
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: and Sean and said, okay, how did you change the culture?

121
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: What were your thinking? What were you thinking? Why'd you do?

122
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: Howda dada? So he is asking him for Washington, right, heavy, right,

123
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: So so there's a relationship there. So I'm sure not

124
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: only or Sean McDermott and Brandon Bean watching and talking

125
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: to Ron Rivere about how's that going, how that meeting go?

126
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: Who is that guy that expert? And let's see it.

127
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: You can bet that they're thinking about like maybe if

128
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,679
Speaker 1: it works there, we're going to do the exact same thing. Well,

129
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: and I mean Rivera even added because he had a

130
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: zoom call with the Washington media down there, he also said,

131
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: if we could get to herd immunity, we could really

132
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: cut it loose. It's business as usual. Yeah, if they

133
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: get there. Yeah, that's the thing, which is that is

134
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: a valuable competitive advantage if you can get it there,

135
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: Like if you can get your team to herd immunity

136
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: and conduct business as usual, right, you're ahead of everybody else. Right.

137
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: I was just from a preparation stand the herd immunity

138
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: things big I was with. I was in an event

139
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: this morning. I was late to I gotta come fess up.

140
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: I was very full disclosure, very late to work today

141
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: because I had an event to attend. It for a

142
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: charity that my wife and I are involved with, and

143
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: it was a groundbreaking so it was it's a big deal.

144
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: And you know, I had to shovel in the heart

145
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: the whole thing. And there was obviously some some political

146
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: people there as well, and one of them and it's

147
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: amazing too that during the conversations I had with different people,

148
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: this was the he asked the MC asked how many

149
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: people here? And it was maybe two hundred people at

150
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: this event outdoor It was an outdoor event. But how

151
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: many people? Is this the first public appearance you've made

152
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: without masks or anything? And a ton of people raise

153
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: their hands. But it came down in casual conversation before

154
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: the event, it said, you know, we know we're getting

155
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: on top of it because we're starting to have events

156
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: and they're not getting spikes, yeah, in in COVID cases,

157
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: So it is we are getting on top of it.

158
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 1: But when you're talking about, you know, a football team

159
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 1: like we are with the Bills, those guys are indoors.

160
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: There's one hundred and fifty people in the building and

161
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: they are shoulder to shoulder, they're, you know, they're big

162
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: group showers. I mean, they're you know, they're you know,

163
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: they're sweating on each other and you know, and like

164
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: yesterday John Feliciano, they're you know, exchanging blows right right,

165
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: So you got and not just outdoor stuff. I mean

166
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: you got to get her. Community is a big deal.

167
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: And I'm and I'm not surprised that at least one

168
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: coach and I'm sure others are gonna follow. They're gonna

169
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: have experts come in and talk to these guys and

170
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: get the pros and const But I'll tell you this,

171
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: they better do their homework because they're these players aren't

172
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: just gonna say okay, I'll did it, and I say, well,

173
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: wait a minute, that's not what I heard. Yeah, Mantes

174
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: Sweat did not look all that interested in getting one

175
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: of those, um the defensive end for the Washington football

176
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: team who was just presented by you know, this probably

177
00:09:52,520 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: renowned epidemiologist, and he basically said, I haven't gotten COVID yet,

178
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: so I'm not gonna get vaccinated. I'll basically deal with

179
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: COVID when I get COVID. But the thing there is

180
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 1: the misguided notion with that premise is once you have COVID,

181
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: you can't not get it or eliminate it with the vaccine.

182
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: After you have it, you can either. Yeah, and it's

183
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: it's pretty basic. Either risk getting the disease and all

184
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: the effects of it, or or maybe not being one

185
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: of those people lucky people who get the virus test

186
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: positive go and have no symptoms or very mild symptoms.

187
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: Or to the other way, like a Tommy Sweeney scenario

188
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: where you get myocarditis and you're out for like an

189
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: entire season or worse, you could be one of the

190
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand plus people in the country who couldn't

191
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: survive it. So it's your or you could take the

192
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: virus and all and all the things that go with

193
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: a virus either you know, having a massive side effect

194
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: from the virus that's negative. If um, yeah, I mean

195
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: you gotta make your own decision. Yeah. The name of

196
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: the doctor was kiz Mechia Corbett, an assistant professor at

197
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: the Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases at Harvard's th H.

198
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: Chan School of Public Health. Sounds like a pretty qualified person,

199
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: Holy cow, sounds good. Um, when you can't fit your

200
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: title on a business card, you're kind of in the

201
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: note to me, you're either that or you're Meanwhile, you're

202
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: either that or a professional student. Meanhile, I'm here trying

203
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: to remember the name of the kid's toy that you're

204
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: right on, and lift the sheet and and erase what

205
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: you wrote, which I have found is called the magic slate.

206
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: Do you remember the magic slate with the red pant

207
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: with the bread plastic? You could buy those were great.

208
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: You had a buck, Yeah, they were less than a buck.

209
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: You could buy those all if you had like, you know,

210
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: go to the do give you you know, give you

211
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: a quarter, go to the dime store, buy yourself something pure.

212
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: And the magic slate. Oh my god, my childhood was

213
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: so simple, we believe. Let me tell you something. We're

214
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: so old now we're getting off the COVID thing. But

215
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: you know what, how ignorant were we to think the

216
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: magic slate was magic? Well? The worst part was how

217
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: magic can it really be? Because what you had to

218
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: do was when if you wanted to write anything in

219
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: a vertical fashion, you had to hold down with your

220
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: other hand the bottom of the cellophane sheet, otherwise it

221
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: would fold up on you. And you know, and it

222
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: wasn't very magic at all. The cellophane sheet would get

223
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 1: wrinkled like it was a water. It was terrible. Yeah,

224
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: and then you'd have to go get a new one.

225
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 1: It was all pristine when you bought it, right, It's

226
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 1: like and then you'd throw it in the seat and

227
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: you'd sit on it and then get folded. You had

228
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 1: to hold the thing. Yeah, okay, that was terrible because

229
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: somebody else tweeted in oh, you're talking about the etches sketch.

230
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: I am not, although that was that was another thing

231
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: in its own right. And let me just tell you this.

232
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: This is a this is an example of the lack

233
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: of artistic ability that I possessed in my two hands.

234
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: You've seen these guys like put together mosaics on these

235
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: etch sketches. You've seen these artists that do it. It's

236
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 1: like you got two jobs. It's amazing. I basically was

237
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: drawn a staircase, you know, up over, up over up,

238
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: absolutely square boxes. There were no diagonos, there was no

239
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: curvature whatsoever. Inch. Everybody just tries to write your own

240
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: name though, right, yeah, you try. Oh I can do

241
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: it in script, well kind of. If you have an asked,

242
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: you're screwed. Like, oh my gosh, between the magic slate

243
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: and the etch of sketch, I knew my artistic days

244
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: were going to be very short. We've got to keep

245
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 1: track of this thing with the COVID though with it

246
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: Washington Redskins in this guy with a title too long

247
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: for a business card to talk to him about? Or

248
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 1: a woman. I mean, Kezmekia could be a woman. I

249
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 1: should just slip into my Twitter personality here. Now. Could

250
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 1: it be construed as Ron rivera coercing his players into

251
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: getting the virus? Oh, come on with this. I think

252
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: it's a strict educational effort. It is a woman, by

253
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: the way. Kis Mechi a Corbett um okay Kizzie for short,

254
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: but man viral immunologist at the Vaccine Research Center at

255
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: the National Institute and Infectious Diseases based in Bethesda. She's

256
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: a graduate from Harvard. It's good. Lord, that is impressive.

257
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: Get her on a more degrees than a third. I

00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: want a plane up here. Let's have heard talk. Those

260
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: you want to talk to. Like, it's not it's not.

261
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe she's a little too far above

262
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: the line I'm talking about. You know who you talk to.

263
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: You're talking to people down on the ground floor, what

264
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: do you think? And they're like going to listen, here's

265
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: what I think about the virus and here's what I've

266
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: seen handling people who come in the door, you know,

267
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: and here's what the numbers are telling me. Right, you

Speaker 1: want to know how to fix a cut, go to

269
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: an ear nurse. The girls who take you into the room, right,

270
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: they're like they're the ones that are hold until the

271
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: doctor comes in and says, uh, yeah, he did a

272
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: good job. All right. Right, you get the people on

273
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: the front lines. Yeah, and they're and they're immediate. They'll

274
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: make it real for you're real fast. Right. You get

275
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: the ones that are in there, that are on the

276
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: front lines and in the battle, they'll tell you what's

277
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: going on. I mean that, but I'm thinking, what's her name,

278
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: Kissie KISSI needs to come buff kiss Yeah? What for

279
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: even just here? Just go out here and talk to

280
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: our guys in the control room. Well whatever is necessary,

281
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you know. Um yeah, so there's that. So

282
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: there's that Washington. You know. Rivara said he thinks their

283
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: roster is about fifty percent vaccinated. And as we were

284
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: talking about on the show yesterday, Steve, players pretty much

285
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: have to decide this week, especially if they're they're getting

286
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: for training camp. Well, if they're getting the fiser or

287
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: the maderna vaccine. They need two shots and they have

288
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: to be separated by three weeks, so you know, you're

289
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: kind of cutting it close for training camp, and it's

290
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: and then you have the single shot. Is the Johnson

291
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: and Johnson? Is that what you're saying? Single shots? Johnson

292
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: and Johnson. But after you get the second shot, you're

293
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: not considered fully vaccinated until two weeks removed from that.

294
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: So it's a five week process and you're so you're

295
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: cutting it close before training camp to be fully vaccinated.

296
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: If that's the decision you make. There's all kinds of

297
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: anecdotal evidence of people, you know, getting COVID between shots. Yes,

298
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: that has happened, you're right, happened. That happened to members

299
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: of my family. And but that's you know, that's why

300
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: you got to do it. I mean, if you're gonna

301
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: do it, if you're gonna do it, do it. Yeah,

302
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: but you're not safe until it's done. Um. Yes, theoretically.

303
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: On a much lighter subject, did you see what Robert

304
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: Kraft got for his eightieth birthday? Courtesy of jay Z

305
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: and Meek Mill. But to me think about it now,

306
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: this is this is how far removed we are from

307
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: being a billionaire. Not only do you get right, not

308
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: only do you get a Blue Bentley, but who gives

309
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: it to him? Yeah, jay Z and Meek Mill, they

310
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: roll right up it. Hey, bro, what's up? He's hugging him.

311
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: They're all like, buddy, buddy. That's the difference. Yeah, just

312
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: that you get the gift. It's like you get it

313
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: given to you by like a mega superstar, right, supposedly

314
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: his dream car. And I have to imagine, you know,

315
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: by the time you've reached eighty and you know you're

316
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: a billionaire, several times over didn't feel like getting that.

317
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 1: I mean, well, that's what he said. And in the

318
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: video I saw he was like, I couldn't get one.

319
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: I couldn't find one, couldn't get it. I guess jay

320
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: Z's got a little more, a little more pull in

321
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: the automotive industry. Yeah, I would. I'd buy that for

322
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: a dollar. I would say yes. If I'm looking to

323
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: get an exclusive car and I and I am choosing

324
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: to go through jay Z or Robert Crash, you know, yeah,

325
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: I'm probably picking jay Z to get too. He'd probably

326
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: have not that I don't like Robert and Robert Kraft

327
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: doesn't you know, have good taste probably and he's got too,

328
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: But jay Z has got some style. Right. Well, you

329
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 1: know the car is going to be tricked out for sure,

330
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: And that's my I got a question for it. And

331
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm far be it for me to say I'm not

332
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: a car guy. Yeah, it was being a spokesperson. But

333
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: and I know people, a ton of guys in the

334
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: car industry, and I know this too. You get a

335
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: high end car, it's got some bells and whistles on it. Well,

336
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: I would hope so for for like three hundred, four

337
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: hundred grands, right, that's what Bentley's. Yeah, it was like

338
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 1: a couple of hundred grand to get this car. How

339
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 1: much can you trick out a car that would have

340
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: the amendment? And I'm not saying that, Hey, it looks

341
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: nice and all the style, Okay, package Bentley's are like

342
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: two fifty. I'm just saying this a base, even one

343
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: that's tricked out. I mean the tricking out. I mean

344
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: it looks great, no question about it. But once you

345
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: get past the subjective nature of whether you like the

346
00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: way that Bentley looks or not, what's a two D

347
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: three hundred or six hundred thousand dollars car got to

348
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: make it worth I mean, we you know, does the

349
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: seat like I mean, I'm sure it's hoo cooled and

350
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 1: heated oya and all that, and it's probably I mean

351
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: what makes what can you? How much can you trick

352
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: a car out in this day and age? Like does

353
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: it have like do you just get in and go

354
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: to sleep and you wake up at your destination? I mean,

355
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:31,600

400
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: that's a dead end. Yeah. Now I could see the highway,

401
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: It's fifty yards in front of me. The problem is

402

00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: in Blue Water. All right, well, yeah, I mean I

431
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: heard the instigators talking the other day about old video

432
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: gaming systems, and I heard Pete bring up Saga Genesis

433
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: and there was a glitch in that game where you

434
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: played the hockey you could skate a guy up into

435
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: the stands. Oh yeah, it was great. It was a

436
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: total glitch in the system. You could skate him up

437
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: into the stands. He's skating over people's heads and you

438
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 1: bring him back down at the other end of the ice.

439
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: You can pass to him, provided he's not offside. I was, yeah,

440
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: the technology is great, but you gotta work the bugs out.

441
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: And tell you this, I told you this three or

442
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: four years ago. I was in the running to be

443
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 1: an esports announcer on one of their video games. Yere

444
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: telling me, right, So they said here's what And I

445
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: went down to Florida where they're based, and went through

446
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,199
Speaker 1: the whole process. Yeah, doing the reason all that and

447
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: talking to the guys, and you know, I was one

448
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: of the finalists to be the voice for Madden. I

449
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: guess it's okay if I say that now. Um So, anyway,

450
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: it was years ago, and they go, well, here's one

451
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: of our problems What happens is they get gamers out there,

452
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: a lot of them, I guess, who try to break

453
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 1: the game. You know, they got to test the game out.

454
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 1: Like they'll take on a one yard they run the

455
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: wrong way and go down, score touchdown. You've got to

456
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,959
Speaker 1: have audio to support that, Like I say, he's running

457
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: the wrong way. Oh my god, he's gonna make that right.

458
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,239
Speaker 1: That's right. So they go so and I they were

459
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: trying to and I appreciate it, and I and I

460
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: gained a lot of respect for those guys. But they

461
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 1: tried to give me an appreciation for how long I

462
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: was going to be in the studio recording stuff. Because

463
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: a one yard touchdown, a two yard touchdown, a three

464
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: yard you know, one hundred and ten yard touchdown, you know,

465
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 1: one hundred and nine yard touchdown from the back ends

466
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: on all the way to the other end. You've got

467
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: to have all that in the can for when somebody

468
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 1: does that in the game, because you know, every scenario

469
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 1: pops up and they go out and turn and you know,

470
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: some of these gamers, it's like a it's like an

471
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: egg that they go to go out and find and

472
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: see what audio they have for this guy going the

473
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: wrong direction to make a touchdown. That kind of thing.

474
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: I was so that I can appreciate some of the

475
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 1: problems like technology many manufacturers have to go through to data.

476
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: But putting me in Lake Erie, I'm thinking, come on, bro,

477
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: that's on you. Yeah, that's on you. It's not man.

478
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: I know you got to update the stuff that's in

479
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: your car. You get the new CD that you put

480
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: it in the thing. I don't think that's a thing anymore,

481
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: is it. Oh it's not. Well, that's good to hear

482
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: you see you're with me. I'm yeah, it goes out

483
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: of twenty eleven outside. Yeah, it's exponential every year, it's

484
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: exponentially bigger and faster, and you got an upgrade even

485
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: more so. I'm I'm with you though. Uh. Speaking of

486
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: billionaires and big money, did you see what the rookie

487
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: card for Tom Brady went for the other day? One

488
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: point two No, three point one three point one three

489
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: point one million for the rookie card of Tom Brady unsigned? Yeah,

490
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 1: I don't believe it was signed. It's just a rookie card,

491
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 1: mint condition obviously. And um my son's a collector. I

492
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: was a collector when I was a teenager. Um and

493
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: then the market just the bottom fell out of the

494
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: market for trading cards because there was an overproduction, right,

495
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: and then it just basically rendered him worthless. That was

496
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 1: that was back. Well what happened that was the bottom

497
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 1: fell out? You know what did it? It was the

498
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: NFL strike of eighty seven and the and the league

499
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 1: was trying to break the union by giving players money

500
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: for card deals, and the union was given the rights

501
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: feeds to card deals so they could buy players into

502
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: and sign them away from the union and kind of

503
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: strangle the union financially and all that stuff. So then

504
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: so then every there was like every two guys who

505
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: wanted to start a card company could do it and did. Yeah,

506
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: but even the big companies overproduced exactly because there was

507
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: such a demand for cards then that they cooked themselves

508
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: in their own soup. You got to see my attic.

509
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 1: So it was terrible. So it basically rendered a lot

510
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: of those cards from that but they're a worthless. But

511
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: the pandemic completely brought the market back to untold levels

512
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: of demand because people weren't doing anything. People hanging out

513
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: on the ouse, they were going through their old collections,

514
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: they were buying stuff online and the prices are astronomical.

515
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: I mean three point one million even for a Brady

516
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: rookie that is exorbitant, like exorbitant, can't believe it. Yeah,

517
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 1: and like it's It's the thing that bothers me is

518
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: people like myself. You know, teenage kids that have summer

519
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: jobs and just like collecting and stuff, they're getting priced

520
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: out of the thing all over again, just like I

521
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: was when I was a teenager. Get priced out of it.

522
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: But you can't you can't enjoy the collecting because it's

523
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,719
Speaker 1: out of your price. Ran. There's a lot of layers

524
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: to it because everybody has their own opinion. But that's

525
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: why people do that. And even like it's fun. And

526
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: then the big money people come in, they drive all

527
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: the prices up, and now the everyday Joe can't take

528
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: part in it in a way that he was. The

529
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: everyday Joe who was in it from the beginning could

530
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: take advantage of it. Well, if you make the right investments,

531
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: you know. And then you know, nowadays with the online

532
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: auctions and everything. I had, guys, it's a baseball world

533
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: out there. Because all the guys I worked with the CBS,

534
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: they were all New York guys. New York's a baseball teams.

535
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: So they had everybody said, I don't know what nineteen

536
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: what you tell me? Then the Yankees total set card

537
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: from like nineteen fifty seven or something, or like the

538
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: fifty six top set. That's it. Okay, so fifty But

539
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Everybody, you know, you get the set

540
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: or you're gonna you're trying to acquire the set. You

541
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: got the list, you know, And the problem is everybody's

542
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: got Mickey Mantle. They got this guy, they got that guy,

543
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: but they don't have Joe Charlie Bag of Donuts down

544
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: the roster. Nobody County Irvin on the New York Giants,

545
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: right whatever, that's the card. So my buddy goes, hey,

546
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,959
Speaker 1: it came up on eBay or whatever. I'm gonna buy it.

547
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: And the missing cards the missing card for a for

548
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: a fifty six top set for the Yankees, right, So

549
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: that's the card nobody's got. It's the guy nobody knows. Yeah,

550
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: And that's that's the weird part about the whole thing.

551
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: That's because now that's this Charlie Bag of Donuts or

552
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: whatever his name is, right now, everybody needs that. And

553
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: and he started bidding and every time he bid, that's this.

554
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: This other guy had put a top bid because because

555
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: the sets worth ten years ago, the whole thing thirty

556
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: six thousand dollars or something. Right now it's probably now

557
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: it's probably in the millions. Right, So you know that's

558
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: that's that. That industry and that collectible thing is a

559
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: strange peaks and valleys to its sharp peaks and valleys,

560
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: and right now it's cresting. It's that, It's right. I

561
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: don't know if it can go much higher than it already.

562
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: And it's just it's a little bit like real estate.

563
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: All he needs one buyer, one buyer, that is true.

564
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: All he needs one guy, and right now there seemed

565
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: to be more than one, which is why these prices

566
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: are so inflated. I'm just unfortunately, I think the bubble's

567
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: gonna burst again. I just don't know when it will

568
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: a little, I mean, it's it's inevitable, and then it'll

569
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: rise again too for some Unknow. Yes, before we go

570
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: to break, we do want to pass along the topic

571
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: for today's show on the Twitter poll, which offseason moved

572
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: in the AFC will pay off the most. We saw

573
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: a big one this week with the Julio Jones move

574
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: from Atlanta to Tennessee, and there have obviously been others

575
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: through the course of the off season. But which offseason

576
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: move in the AFC this offseason do you believe will

577
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: pay off the most for that respective team. Could be

578
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: a Bills move, could be a team elsewhere in the

579
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: AFC that made a giant move that you think is

580
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: going to really move the needle for that team coming

581
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,959

Speaker 1: before I think it's me. Must be then I'll think.

607
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: Then I'll admit that it's probably me. I get it. Um. So,

608
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: we're just using the offseason move in the AFC that

609
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: you believe will pay off the most. Some people will

610
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: say it's the most recent one, Julio Jones going too

611
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: the Titans and how that's helped their case to stay

612
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: competitive in the AFC South. After I think most would

613
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: agree their roster took a step back, particularly on the

614
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball with all the players they

615
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: jettisoned off their roster on defense, and there are some

616
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: that think they still will not be able to catch

617
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: the Colts, who are seen by many as the favorite.

618
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: But there is there's another move that in that very

619
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: same division, and I wonder where you find where you

620
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: would rank this, Steve. But the Carson Wentz acquisition obviously

621
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: is a big offseason move. Do you think that pays

622
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: off the most? I know you got a lot of

623
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: faith in your buddy Frank there to get Carson Wentz

624
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: right he does, that's one of the most complete rosters

625
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: in the AFC. Yeah, I like that. Short term, I

626
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: don't think it's any question. I think it's Carson Wentz. Um.

627
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: I'm trying to go down to the list and you

628
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: could say Trevor Lawrence, okay, uh and Urban Meyer that's

629
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: about well. That's the other thing we got to consider here.

630
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: Head coaching he hires. That's what I thought too, Salah

631
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: in New York. That's the best head coach I think

632
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: that they've hired and maybe twenty since Herman Edwards. That's

633
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 1: exactly what I thought when I when we Jay brought

634
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: this topic to me, I thought that's the first guy

635
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: that that came to mind. If Robert Sala can keep

636
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: the Jets from being the dumpster fire they've been for

637
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 1: the last fifteen kings out right, if he can elevate them,

638
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 1: if he can elevate the way they do business off

639
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: the field, yea, their draft process, their patients, their player development,

640
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. He can get that up to

641
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: and in the right just in their vocabulary. If he

642
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: can get it on the agenda for the Jets, that's

643
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: big because I and I'm I'm not a big picture guy.

644
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: I'm we're my ob here. I'm all about the bills.

645
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: And I think and I and I hope you know

646
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: in my heart that the Jets, you know, can you

647
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: to flame out. But I think it's good for the

648
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: NFL if you get every team good, at least for

649
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,439
Speaker 1: a stretch of time at some point. You know, it'd

650
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: be nice if the Jets were good for a couple

651
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: of years, if not for a you know, at least competitive.

652
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: I mean, they had darn they were the fourth pick

653
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: of the draft, like yesterday now they were number the

654
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: two pick in the draft. I mean, good grief. Besides Sala,

655
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: are there any other new head coaches that you would

656
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,399
Speaker 1: put in a group in this group where you could say, oh,

657
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: you know what, that might be an offseason move that

658
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: pays off. Here, I'll tell you the other names that

659
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: I came up with, because they didn't put everybody that

660
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: got hired as a head coach on this list. I

661
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: thought Brandon Staley's got a chance to do something with

662
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: the Chargers, particularly if he can get that defense right,

663
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: which was their achilles heel. It wasn't scoring points, it

664
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: was stopping people. And he was running one of the

665
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: best defenses in the league last year in the Rams.

666
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: So I think that move has a chance to pay

667
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: off sala as we mentioned, And then I think urban

668
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: Meyer there's more talent on that roster than meets the eye.

669
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: And if urban Meyer can do in the pros what

670
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: he's able to do with supreme talent in college, they

671
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: could be on to something there. And then the only

672
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: other name I put on there was Arthur Smith. Yeah,

673
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 1: he intrigues me. He's got a reputation to being really intelligent.

674
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of leader he is, but

675
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: that that's the rub. Yeah, I don't know that and

676
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: to me and I don't know what youth field. But

677
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: we haven't really talked about this ever. If you want

678
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: a good head coach, quality number one is leadership. You

679
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:38,879
Speaker 1: got to get that. You know, the group of guys

680
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: we were talking about in the first segment, I go,

681
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,240
Speaker 1: it's a tough room stand in front of an NFL

682
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: team if you get a guy that gets those guys

683
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: not only on board with him, but but no, but

684
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: the love and respect between the two of them, I

685
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 1: mean they You know, Matt Rule has got a reputation

686
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 1: for that in Carolina, being a guy who gets these

687
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: guys to likely. I'm in with this guy. Let's go.

688
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott certainly has displayed boatloads of leadership here in Buffalo.

689
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if Art Smith has that, but he's

690
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,240
Speaker 1: certainly got the intelligence. He's he's and he's earned the chops.

691
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: And for those of you who don't know him, Um,

692
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,439
Speaker 1: this is a guy that doesn't really need to coach

693
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 1: for a living. His dad is the top guy at Amazon, right,

694
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: his dad is Bezos. No, No, what's his dad's name.

695
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: His dad's the top guy with what is it? A

696
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: huge company? Is it like it's not like Google or anything? Yeah,

697
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,439
Speaker 1: it might be his dad is like a CEO or something. Yeah,

698
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: his dad is like killing it. He's like a one

699
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 1: of the top guys in American business. Now I totally

700
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: myth that. But Arthur Smith doesn't need to be a coach.

701
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: He's doing it because he loves to do it. So

702
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: he's got something going on. And I think his intelligence

703
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: and the things that are said about him as that

704
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: we're said about him and as a corbett x oh

705
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: there's the CEO Okay, founder and chairman of FedEx. Okay,

706
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: So Art's pretty good. Art Smith's worth six point six

707
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: bill Okay, pointly, thank you for looking that up. So good,

708
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: pretty pretty good coaching right on a beach with a

709
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: drink in your head. That's why the level of respect

710
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: that goes out for Arthur Smith right off the top

711
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: is pretty pretty heavy. But he's got some intel. His

712
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: reputation is a coordinate is very intelligent. Guys like playing

713
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 1: for him, and you know he got he resurrected Ryan

714
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: Tannehill in Tennessee and got that kind of Derrick Henry.

715
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: They're the only team that ran the ball more than

716
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: they threw it. I think it's one of the stats

717
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 1: I heard um and he gets a lot of credit

718
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,760
Speaker 1: for that. I don't know why he gets more credit

719
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: than Brian day Bole did and what he did with

720
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen here in Buffalo, but that's in the topic

721
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: for another day. Anyway, Art Smith is intriguing to me

722
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: as a guy who may be one of the top

723
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: acquisitions in coaching this year, or one of the top

724
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,800
Speaker 1: acquisitions of the offseason, the transaction that may make a difference.

725
00:38:57,840 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: I'm with you, though, I think it's going to be

726
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: one of the coaches that is the big get, Not

727
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, not Trevor Lawrence, none of that stuff. I mean,

728
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: if you look at it, Staley arguably inherits the best

729
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 1: roster in LA with the Chargers, because you've got a

730
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback, you have a franchise pass rusher, and you

731
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,879
Speaker 1: have a unicorn at safety in Derwin James. I mean,

732
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: right off the bat, those are three elite players at

733
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 1: pretty important positions, and you have one of the best

734
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: route separators in the NFL and Keenan Allen with other

735
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: weapons at your disposal. So I think he's got one

736
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 1: of the better rosters that he inherits as a new coach.

737
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: Sala has an uphill climb, although they're building it the

738
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: right way. Meyer. I think, as I said earlier, is

739
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: more talent than meets the eye. But we want to

740
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,399
Speaker 1: know from you which offseason moving the AFC will pay

741
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: off the most and why eight three five fifty one

742
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: eighty eight five fifty two five fifty number two. Call

743
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: open line for you there or hit us up on

744
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet at one bills Live. We will take

745
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: a break here, but come back with your thoughts on

746
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet as well as your phone calls when

747
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: we return here on one Bills Live presented by Kalid

748
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 1: to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back to one

749
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you as we

750
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: are asking which offseason move in the AFC will pay

751
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:43,399
Speaker 1: off the most for that respective team in twenty twenty one.

752
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: And we go to the tweet sheet without any further ado,

753
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 1: which is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the

754
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills, and Rusty

755
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 1: leads us off by saying best move will be Jacksonville

756
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: getting Trevor Lawrence. That kid is good. In the long run,

757
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: it will make the Jags a tough out, especially with

758
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: urban Meyer there, There'll be a scary team soon in

759
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 1: the short term. I think Julio really adds some juice

760
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 1: to the Titans offense and will make them hard to stop.

761
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:18,240
Speaker 1: Let's talk about this scenario, Steve. Because urban Meyer obviously

762
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 1: comes to Jacksonville with a very successful college football resume.

763
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: I don't know that it guarantees that he is going

764
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: to be a successful NFL coach. And we need look

765
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: no further than the foray that Nick Saban made into

766
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: the pro ranks and how horribly that went. Difference is

767
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,919
Speaker 1: he has a franchise quarterback coming in the door with him. Yeah,

768
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 1: and it is a different job both head coaches and

769
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: you know urban Meyer Ohio State. Nick Saban at before

770
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: he came to the Dolphins was at LSU. I believe

771
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: that sounds right. Yes, So it's a different job being

772
00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,919
Speaker 1: a head coach of an NFL team and a head

773
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: coach of a college team. You don't recruit, you pick,

774
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:09,800
Speaker 1: and the player's mentality is much much different than the

775
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: college kids. The job on a day to day basis

776
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 1: is much different than a college day to day grown

777
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: man with different responsibilities too. They have why they have family,

778
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,359
Speaker 1: and you don't have to hold you're not They don't

779
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: want you to hold their hand. They don't want you

780
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: to tell them where they can live and eat and

781
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: work and play and do all that. They're their own guys,

782
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 1: and they're keep you at arm's length. But urban Meyer,

783
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: I think probably understands that Nick Saban thought he did.

784
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: But he I think he walked into the Miami Dolphins

785
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: and just didn't like that job as much as he

786
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: liked the head coach. Being a head coach of a college,

787
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 1: I don't think Nick Saban enjoyed it like he did

788
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: the college game. He obviously enjoys that urban Meyer, we

789
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,720
Speaker 1: have yet to see. That's a good question. But I'm

790
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 1: with you though, and I said at last segment too,

791
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: it doesn't guarantee six, it doesn't guarantee success. But I

792
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: think the as far as our question for today, you

793
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:09,359
Speaker 1: know which NFL transaction or thing that an NFL team

794
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: did in the off seae is gonna make the biggest difference.

795
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: It's gonna be one of those coaches, because they affect

796
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 1: the entire organization, and it's it's not just a quarterback

797
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: who's playing offense. Although you know, he can have a

798
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: big effect on the entire roster defense or offense, and

799
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: long term is different from me than short term. Long term,

800
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 1: it's got to be one of the coach a short term,

801
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 1: I think it's one of the quarterbacks as well. I

802
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 1: think it might. I think it's gonna be Carson Wentz.

803
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: I think he stepped into a place that's ready to

804
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: hit the gas and shift gears that that, to me

805
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,720
Speaker 1: is a scary thing if he gets it right. Yeah,

806
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: they could be a twelve team. I think their schedule

807
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 1: is a little tricky, though, I gotta check it again,

808
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,760
Speaker 1: but I think the af for some reason, the AFC

809
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: South is I don't know why. I think their strength

810
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 1: of schedule is pretty good this year, but I'll have

811
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 1: to double check on that. RJ on the tweet sheet

812
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:03,879
Speaker 1: says Emmanuel Sanders, Oh, RJ, you're such a homer. Our

813
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 1: receiving corps that decimated the league a year ago has

814
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 1: another outstanding talent. They can't stop us. Well, I mean,

815
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: I think RJ is right from this standpoint. I think

816
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: that Emmanuel Sanders has a greater ability to diversify the

817
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: Buffalo offense than John Brown did, right. I think John

818
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:30,240
Speaker 1: Brown to a great degree, was a stretch the field

819
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,240
Speaker 1: guy who could also you know, run to the sticks

820
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: on third down and help you there. But moving him around,

821
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know that you could do it

822
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 1: with as much frequency as you can with Emmanuel Sanders,

823
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: who's john done just about everything under the sun and

824
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 1: lined up just about everywhere. So yeah, I think the

825
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 1: chances are greater for Brian Dable to diversify the offense

826
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: more with Sanders in the lineup than with Brown in

827
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: the lineup. And I was a John Brown fan. I

828
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: like John Brown. I do too. He's a good player

829
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 1: and he's gonna play well. But you're right, Sanders is

830
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: a route running wide receiver who gets separation in man

831
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 1: end zone. He's he's a little bit more like Steph

832
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 1: Diggs in the style of receiver than he is. Sticky hands,

833
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 1: great route running. You know, find him open on most plays,

834
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 1: and most teams will give him a little extra attention.

835
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: So it's just different, and I don't know how that's

836
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,399
Speaker 1: going to change. Maybe it'll have an adverse effect because

837
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 1: you won't have a guy like John Brown who who

838
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: can stretch the vertical part of the defense and create

839
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 1: space we'll see. I think it's interesting that you've seen

840
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:48,760
Speaker 1: some big name receivers move this offseason, and you wonder

841
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: how many of those GMS made those moves with an

842
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: eye towards how big a payoff the Stefan Diggs move

843
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 1: was here in Buffalo just a year ago. You know,

844
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: you look at Dave Getleman, who worked with Brandon Bean.

845
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 1: He probably saw the impact he had on his young

846
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: quarterback here in Buffalo. I mean he raised him to

847
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: MVP like levels, or helped to And so I wonder

848
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 1: how much Getleman said, you know what, it is worth

849
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: it for me to pay eighteen million dollars a year

850
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,240
Speaker 1: to Kenny Golladay and signed him as a free agent

851
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: to help my young quarterback Daniel Jones. I have to

852
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: believe that that at least entered his thought process, and

853
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: I can't imagine it was all that different for the

854
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 1: Titans with Julio Jones. Well, I know this, when people

855
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: looked at the Bills, I think they no question Steph

856
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: Diggs was a stud last year by any measure. But

857
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 1: I think when teams faced the Bills, they were worried

858
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: about number seventeen, not number fourteen. Yes, but number fourteen's

859
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: presence enhanced the playing level of Josh Allen. I'm not

860
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: saying he was the sole reason that Josh Allen raised

861
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: his game. That is squarely on Josh's shoulders. He put

862
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: the work in to get better, and Brian Dable certainly

863
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: deserves a lot of credit for developing him into the

864
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: quarterback that he was. But Steph Diggs here that put

865
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: him over the top. I think that helped him reach

866
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: critical masses a premier quarterback. The Bills had a guy

867
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: in Steph Diggs they were gonna target ten plus times

868
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 1: a game. Yeah, write at an inc rights. That's a

869
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:24,840
Speaker 1: big commitment for an offense that's running four wide sometimes

870
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 1: and three wides most of the time. That's a big

871
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 1: commitment for targets. And I think most teams would like

872
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 1: to have a guy that say, you know what, we

873
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 1: need that guy ten times again, We're gonna throw at

874
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,840
Speaker 1: him ten plus maybe fifteen times a game if on

875
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: a day. Kenny Golladay was injured a lot last year.

876
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 1: He only played in three or four games and couldn't

877
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: get on the field. Had a bad hip injury and

878
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: something else if I remember right, So he didn't play

879
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 1: much last year, but he was an unstoppable talent the

880
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: year prior for a bad Lions team, right, And now

881
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 1: he goes to the Giants where he's not the only

882
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: weapon there. Barkley comes back from the ACL You've got Slayton,

883
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: who's a nice, complimentary receiver there, and you still have

884
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram the tight end, you know, the pass catching

885
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 1: tight end who's an athlete as well. So you add

886
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,720
Speaker 1: Gala Day to that mix. You're trying to push Daniel

887
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 1: Jones to a higher level of quarterbacking that puts him

888
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: in the upper tier they're hoping, undoubtedly, and then from

889
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 1: a Titans perspective, they're probably trying to keep up with

890
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: the Colts, and they're probably also saying to themselves, you know,

891
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: two years ago, when we had a thirteen point lead

892
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 1: on the Chiefs, it evaporated and even though we could

893
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: run the ball really well, it didn't mean a hill

894
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: of beans because we gave up twenty one points in

895
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 1: the blink of an eye and lost in the AFC

896
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 1: title game. We got to be able to throw like

897
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:53,360
Speaker 1: those guys. It's a throwing league. You bend it anyway

898
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: you want the team. The last you look at the

899
00:48:55,520 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 1: final four teams is last year. They're slinging it. And

900
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: that's why the game Premier Quarterback, the game that the

901
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: game's built for that it's legislated and the rules are

902
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: made for that. Um. You know, So if you're looking

903
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 1: at teams, that are the acquisitions in this offseason that

904
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 1: are gonna make a huge difference. And you mentioned it.

905
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 1: We've been talking about Carson Wentz and the Colts and

906
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 1: we all have this meet included. I have this vision

907
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 1: that Frank is gonna rekindle the relationship they had when

908
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 1: they got the Eagles to the World Championship, you know,

909
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 1: four years, three years ago. Um. And you mentioned the

910
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 1: Colts schedule, I called it up. Yeah, they play there

911
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 1: where the Bills were a year ago. The Seahawks, the Rams,

912
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 1: the Titans, the Dolphins, the Ravens, the Texans and the

913
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 1: forty nine ers all in their first seven games. They

914
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: have the NFC West, NFC West, in AFC North and

915
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: the AFC East, you know, and then they you know,

916
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 1: they play in the Buccaneers. I mean, they got to

917
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 1: first play schedule. They're you know, and unfortunately they're in

918
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 1: that NFC West where the Bills were last year. And

919
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 1: they're catching the Bucks the Patriots. So it's a tough schedule,

920
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 1: and that is something that can be a separator when

921
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 1: you have teams that look pretty evenly matched. And I

922
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:16,799
Speaker 1: think most of would agree. Last year, in that first

923
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: round of the playoffs here in Buffalo, I mean, the

924
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: Colts threw everything at the Bills that they could handle.

925
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: I mean it came down ultimately to a Hill Mary

926
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 1: that fortunately for the Bills didn't reach the end zone

927
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: and Mica Hyde was able to knock down. But it's

928
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 1: a field goal game. That was The Colts were really

929
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 1: impressive last year in this building in the playoffs, really impressive.

930
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 1: And that's why I've still I'm I've got that scar tissue.

931
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,359
Speaker 1: I'm thinking they're gonna take a step forward because they

932
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 1: had tons of cap space and they got a lot

933
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,479
Speaker 1: of draft picks. So the Colts, if they can raise

934
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 1: their level with better quarterbacking from Carson Wentzon. They even

935
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: got from Philip Rivers last year, which was pretty good.

936
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,399
Speaker 1: He's still through forty one hundred yards. If they can

937
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 1: get better quarterbacking out of Wentz, who can hopefully rekindle

938
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 1: his MVP mat with Frank Reich, you would say, Okay,

939
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 1: that's a team you got to watch out for. But

940
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 1: then you look at their schedule and it could be

941
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 1: the difference between that team being thirteen and four and

942
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 1: eleven and five because they're playings or eleven and six, yes,

943
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 1: thank you, because of the strength the schedule that they

944
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:22,240
Speaker 1: play in comparison to Buffalo. I'll say this the Carson Wentz,

945
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 1: let's not forget he was like, what the number two

946
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 1: overall pick that year or number three overall pickments Yeah, yeah,

947
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 1: number two, and they trade it up for him, right.

948
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,879
Speaker 1: That guy's got some traits. He's not just this guy

949
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 1: in Philly they pick and they liked he played well.

950
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 1: That guy is He's big, strong, he's got an arm,

951
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: and he can run two he can scoot. So he's

952
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 1: bringing to the table a lot of traits that got

953
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:49,880
Speaker 1: him to the number two overall pick. So he's going

954
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: to give them a lot of things that Philip Rivers

955
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 1: did not. And for a team that's loaded like they

956
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:57,879
Speaker 1: are and that is really sitting pretty like they are,

957
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 1: that's significant. So I think I think my short term

958
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 1: difference maker for acquisitions the offseason or topic my short

959
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 1: term answers, Carson Wentz long term, I think it's going

960
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 1: to be one of the head coaches, maybe Robert Solo.

961
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: There might be some other quarterbacks that we need to

962
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: consider in this best AFC off season move, So we'll

963
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 1: try to decipher some of those as we go down

964
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:24,319
Speaker 1: the list. But we need some answers from you as well.

965
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,839
Speaker 1: Open phone lines for you for the next hour. Eight

966
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 1: oh three, oh five fifty one eight eight five fifty

967
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,760
Speaker 1: two five fifty Which offseason move in the AFC will

968
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 1: pay off the most? Let us know when we return

969
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 1: here on one Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health. This

970
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:59,399
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio at a Steve Tasker who has

971
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 1: been all over the fields. Kind of unique. He was

972
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 1: kind of a dual role player for st. Steve a blimp.

973
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:14,720
Speaker 1: We're not even in the strategire of normalcy here man,

974
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 1: welcome back our number two one Bills Live here on

975
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 1: a wet nes day, and we're talking offseason move in

976
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:24,320
Speaker 1: the AFC that you think will pay off the most

977
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:27,840
Speaker 1: for that respective team here in the twenty twenty one season.

978
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 1: Steve is of the opinion that it's probably going to

979
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 1: be one of the new head coaches in the a

980
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:39,320
Speaker 1: f C and quarterback is another consideration. Carson Wentz Trevor

981
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 1: Lawrence has been mentioned by some of our Twitter followers.

982
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 1: We want to know from you what you think is

983
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 1: the biggest move that will pay off in twenty twenty

984
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 1: one in the AFC. Eight oh three oh five fifty

985
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 1: one eighty eight five fifty two, five fifty the number

986
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 1: to get on board And let us know, I almost

987
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:58,799
Speaker 1: stepped out out of the lines of our question. I

988
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 1: you know, one of the things is going to be

989
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 1: huge in the NFL, not just in the AFC. What

990
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 1: if Rogers retires? Yeah, the MVP says bye bye. Yeah.

991
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 1: I saw that on Pro Football Talk today that it

992
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 1: is more cost effective for him to retire than to

993
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 1: get fine day after day after day that he doesn't

994
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 1: show up at Green Bay camp or regular season or

995
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 1: what have you. I think he's getting finally ninety three

996
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 1: thousand dollars over the course GAMP. Yeah, over the course

997
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:33,279
Speaker 1: of training camp. So if he sits out the whole thing,

998
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,359
Speaker 1: and he could also be an offseason move that would

999
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: fit into this category if he gets traded to the

1000
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos or somebody else in the AFC, although I

1001
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:43,839
Speaker 1: don't anticipate that happening, And none of the people we've

1002
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 1: had on when we've asked for their insight believes that

1003
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 1: he'll be playing anywhere else in twenty twenty one. But

1004
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 1: you never know. Maybe he's not playing at all. We

1005
00:54:56,000 --> 00:55:00,040
Speaker 1: know that this game starts in the trenches. Steve, So,

1006
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 1: what about the offseason move of the Kansas City Chiefs

1007
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 1: to revamp their offensive line? They trade for Orlando Brown

1008
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 1: and a deal with Baltimore. They signed Joe Tuoney to

1009
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 1: a gigantic contract make him the highest paid guard in

1010
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,880
Speaker 1: the league, and they made some other editions on the

1011
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:22,399
Speaker 1: offensive line to completely revamp their front And knowing they

1012
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 1: have an MVP caliber quarterback calling the shots, you improve

1013
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:30,440
Speaker 1: his front line. That could be a really big payoff

1014
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 1: for a team that's been to the Super Bowl the

1015
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:37,760
Speaker 1: last run. It more well, no, but protect him better maybe, God,

1016
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just asking. No, I'm throwing it

1017
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,879
Speaker 1: out there. They had a nice offensive line last year.

1018
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 1: I think the fact that they lost their two tackles

1019
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl probably cost him a chance to

1020
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 1: win that thing, no question about it. But they had

1021
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:55,359
Speaker 1: no choice. They're gonna have to find somebody to play

1022
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:57,200
Speaker 1: out there. And they found the best guys available and

1023
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: invested some money in doing it, and good for them.

1024
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 1: I don't know that that makes them all that different.

1025
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 1: They were good, I mean, their offensive line, the skilled players,

1026
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:10,760
Speaker 1: they were good last year. But I think they're also

1027
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:14,799
Speaker 1: smarter to know that, you know, point in case, the

1028
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: case in point the Super Bowl, Yeah, you better protect

1029
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:21,359
Speaker 1: the guy or you got no shot. So the fact

1030
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 1: that they did that, um, I don't think it changes

1031
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 1: what they were a year ago. They were good the

1032
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 1: other last year on the front line, just at the

1033
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 1: wrong time, right exactly. And the fact that they got

1034
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 1: four different guys doing or three different guys doing it

1035
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: or whatever is irrelevant. They're not going to hand the

1036
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 1: ball off more, are you kidding? No, I'm not anticipating that.

1037
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 1: I don't think anything's changed there. If they're better, Okay,

1038
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:47,759
Speaker 1: they're better, but that doesn't I mean, how are we

1039
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:51,359
Speaker 1: going to notice that that he gets sacked like what

1040
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 1: five times instead of six times every two months? What

1041
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:01,360
Speaker 1: about what Miami did with Fuller and Waddle at the

1042
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: wide receiver positions. I like it. I think it's smart,

1043
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 1: particularly the fact that two has got some history with Waddle.

1044
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 1: With Waddle, I think they saw what happened with the

1045
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 1: Bills last year and the fact that I think even

1046
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 1: with their number one defense and the Dolphins had a

1047
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: really nice defense last year, very good defense last year.

1048
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 1: Despite the fact that they had a really good defense,

1049
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 1: the Bills proved to them, even with a backup quarterback,

1050
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to score with us, And they took

1051
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 1: steps to do that, and I think it's a smart

1052
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 1: move by the Dolphin. A lot more speed on the

1053
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 1: field now for them, I don't think there's any question

1054
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 1: about that. And I think the problem for them is

1055
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 1: it's going to be very hard to put all that

1056
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 1: together in the first month of the season. So I

1057
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 1: don't know if it's all going to come together in

1058
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 1: a timely fashion for them, especially knowing their first five

1059
00:57:56,320 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 1: games of the season are brutal, rutal schedule. The first five, yeah,

1060
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 1: I remember we were talking about it last Week's first

1061
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 1: five weeks of the Miami Dolphins schedule is a gauntlet

1062
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 1: of epic proportions. Now, look, I'll be the first to

1063
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 1: tell you it's a week to week league. They want

1064
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 1: to run it down for people to remind twenty one Patriots, Bills, Raiders, Colts,

1065
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: Bucks at Raiders at Patriots at Bucks. The home games

1066
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 1: are against the Bills and the Colts, so you're basically

1067
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 1: playing one to three teams that won eleven games are

1068
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 1: more last year, including the Super Bowl champion and the

1069
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 1: other team that got to the Final four. And then

1070
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 1: you have the Raiders who are going to be looking

1071
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 1: for blood after you beat them last year on their

1072
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 1: home field to knock them out of playoff contention. I mean,

1073
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 1: you think, what do you think John Gruden's pregame speech

1074
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 1: is going to be for that one? And you play

1075
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:58,400
Speaker 1: the Patriots Week one, and under John Gruden, their modus

1076
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 1: OPERENDI has been jumping off to the six and two,

1077
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:03,240
Speaker 1: seven and one start and then finishing one and seven,

1078
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 1: two and six. They usually pay better on the front

1079
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 1: end of their schedule than the back. Um, so yeah,

1080
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 1: that is that is some tough stuff for them. So

1081
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 1: I think getting out of the gate fast is going

1082
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 1: to prove monumentally difficult for the Dolphins. I mean, if

1083
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 1: they can come out of there two and three, that's

1084
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 1: a victory. Yeah, that's a victory. Well, yeah, they're they're

1085
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 1: I don't think the Dolphins gonna go oh and four

1086
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 1: oh and five. Um okay, But as crazy as it sounds,

1087
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 1: their best opportunity to win maybe Opening Day in New England. Yeah,

1088
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,600
Speaker 1: it's maybe maybe the Raiders. But that's a road game.

1089
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. That's wow, it's I mean,

1090
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 1: that's uh. I'll say this that the tough seen happened.

1091
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 1: We sat here last year it changes and said, the

1092
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:57,920
Speaker 1: Bills are really up against it. This year, we had

1093
00:59:57,920 --> 00:59:59,959
Speaker 1: a quarterback that we didn't we thought was gonna maybe

1094
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 1: complete maybe complete sixty percent of his passes, and you know,

1095
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:08,480
Speaker 1: maybe was going to run around make some things happen.

1096
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 1: With a good defense, maybe we'd run the ball, you know,

1097
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 1: with a third round new third round draft pick to

1098
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 1: join the other third round draft pick. And you get

1099
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 1: into and we got the hardest schedule in the league.

1100
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it looked like it looked like a you know,

1101
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:26,320
Speaker 1: a nine and seven team at best ten and six

1102
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 1: at you know, if a miracle happened and then they

1103
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 1: start playing the Bills or somebody we didn't know they

1104
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:35,280
Speaker 1: could be, and the schedule got mowed down. They said,

1105
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 1: won thirteen games last year, so we don't we know

1106
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 1: how this is going to turn out. But man, oh man,

1107
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 1: from this end of the schedule, the Miami Dolphins first

1108
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 1: month looks the first five weeks is oh yeah, when

1109
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 1: most teams are still healthy too, Like you get those

1110
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 1: five games at the end of the season. You don't

1111
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 1: know what they're gonna look like, right, first five weeks

1112
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 1: of the season, probably healthy for the most part. Gonna

1113
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 1: be tough. They got and they got three of the

1114
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 1: five on the road, and the home games are the

1115
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 1: Bills and the Dolphins. Oh my gosh. Yeah, that's that's

1116
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 1: what you say. That's all you yours all, you can

1117
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 1: have it. How about the Browns, Steve Um. There are

1118
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:23,680
Speaker 1: a number of free agent acquisitions that they made. The

1119
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:27,480
Speaker 1: most notable and noteworthy at least in terms of name value,

1120
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 1: was Jadeveon Clowney, who's now going to line up opposite

1121
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 1: their former number one overall pick in Miles Garrett and

1122
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 1: probably put some juice into that pass rush. There are

1123
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 1: other editions, particularly on the back end. The two acquisitions

1124
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 1: they made from the Rams, cornerback Troy Hill, who's probably

1125
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 1: going to be in contention to be their nickel, along

1126
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:49,920
Speaker 1: with safety John Johnson, who I think is a very

1127
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 1: underrated player. Would you if you had to pick the

1128
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 1: one that you think makes the biggest payoff for the Browns.

1129
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 1: Is there is there a move there that you sign

1130
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 1: off on first. No, No, I would say Clowney's gonna

1131
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:15,200
Speaker 1: help him, but I don't know. I'm he is mercurial. Yeah,

1132
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:17,400
Speaker 1: I think the Browns are a good football team to

1133
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:20,480
Speaker 1: begin when. I think, more than at any point thus

1134
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 1: far since twenty eighteen, it's gonna fall on Baker Mayfield.

1135
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 1: M Yeah, Clowney, Okay. Their pass rush is gonna gonna

1136
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 1: be really good. Their their defense is gonna be really solid.

1137
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:41,520
Speaker 1: I think more so than anything. They've got no excuses offensively, none.

1138
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:44,840
Speaker 1: They got no excuses and this is kind of a

1139
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 1: go for it year for them because I think some

1140
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 1: contracts are up. Jarvis Landry, I believe, is in the

1141
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 1: last year of his deal. I can't remember Obj's contract

1142
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 1: and where that stands. And I think Kareem Hunt might

1143
01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:58,800
Speaker 1: be up as well. You know, you got the Hunt

1144
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 1: chub comment in the backfield, and they drafted some athletes,

1145
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 1: you know, Greg News him the corner, and then Ausu

1146
01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 1: Coramoa and Anthony Schwartz, a wide receiver from Auburn who

1147
01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 1: was the fastest player in the draft with a four

1148
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:19,720
Speaker 1: two fivety. If Obj comes back, If if Odell Beckham's

1149
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 1: junior comes back and he can run like he did,

1150
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:28,040
Speaker 1: They're a handful. They're gonna be a handful anyway. But

1151
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:32,040
Speaker 1: Obj's health and his ability to come back and look

1152
01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:35,440
Speaker 1: normal and play like his old self is huge. Jarvis

1153
01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:40,200
Speaker 1: Landry is a good slot receiver. I don't know that

1154
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 1: he's as versatile and shifty as you know Beasley is,

1155
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 1: but certainly I don't know if he is as productive.

1156
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 1: But I yeah, Like I said, they've got everything they

1157
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 1: need to win a lot of games and play extremely well,

1158
01:03:56,120 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 1: even in that division, and I think it all falls

1159
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:05,160
Speaker 1: on Baker. Speaking of that division, the Ravens, it seemed

1160
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 1: so more people go out the door than come in

1161
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:12,520
Speaker 1: from a veteran perspective. But I'm wondering if there is

1162
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: a move there where you could say that one might

1163
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 1: pay off for them. They were pretty tame in free agency.

1164
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins, Kevin Zeitler, the guard from the Giants, Alejandro

1165
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 1: Villanueva late in the game, so nobody of any great

1166
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 1: ilk shall we say, They just say, oh, there's a

1167
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 1: game changer. Now we remember in the draft. You know,

1168
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:44,880
Speaker 1: essentially they tried to help their offense Rashod Bateman first

1169
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:49,520
Speaker 1: round pick, so you know, try to help the passing game.

1170
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 1: They also got a way to help their pass rush

1171
01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:57,360
Speaker 1: and then alignment in a corner after that interior alignment.

1172
01:04:57,440 --> 01:05:00,200
Speaker 1: So I don't know that there's any big payo off

1173
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:03,360
Speaker 1: type move that the Ravens made, and yet they still

1174
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 1: are there in the eyes of many as an AFC

1175
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:10,800
Speaker 1: Premier contender. Well, they've got their quarterback, gives him that,

1176
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 1: and so they're always going to be in the conversation

1177
01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 1: because they've got a truly elite athlete playing quarterback. And

1178
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:25,520
Speaker 1: you know, they did gain some veterans in Sammy Watkins

1179
01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 1: started to give him a little bit, give that him

1180
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:31,760
Speaker 1: by saying him, I mean Lamar. They're given Lamar some

1181
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 1: some more weapons to use on the outside. But we've

1182
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 1: heard also that you know, it's not all the guys

1183
01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:40,840
Speaker 1: around him. Some of its Lamar and his ability to

1184
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 1: see the field and how he sees the field. So

1185
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 1: we'll see. But I think it's John Harbaugh and the

1186
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 1: reputation he has of getting his players to play well

1187
01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 1: that really gives I think keeps the Ravens at the

1188
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 1: top of the list in the AFC North. Let's go

1189
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:01,120
Speaker 1: to a point. Let's go back to the tweet to

1190
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:04,360
Speaker 1: see what you think at eighth, three fifty one, eight five,

1191
01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:08,160
Speaker 1: fifty two, five fifty or at one Bills live, which

1192
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 1: offseason moving the AFC will play off the most seth

1193
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:14,400
Speaker 1: says f a Obada for the Buffalo Bills. I just

1194
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:16,360
Speaker 1: have a feeling that dude will make a huge impact

1195
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:18,760
Speaker 1: for us, allowing the rookies in AJA to a lesser

1196
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:21,640
Speaker 1: extent develop without having to lean on them too much.

1197
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 1: I know it's a long shot, but I think he

1198
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 1: will be near the league lead for sacks. Wow, you

1199
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:28,400
Speaker 1: are you are high on fa Obada. Look, I think

1200
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:33,720
Speaker 1: he's an under the radar, sneaky type. UM addition, who

1201
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 1: could pay dividends for the Bills. I don't you know,

1202
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:39,520
Speaker 1: I could totally see that. I don't think he's leading

1203
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 1: the league in sacks though, UM, I admire your optimism.

1204
01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:52,480
Speaker 1: He is. He's an incredibly physically gifted guy. He's a

1205
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 1: great locker room presence. I mean, he's just a he's

1206
01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:57,160
Speaker 1: a he's a good kid, you know, I say kid,

1207
01:06:57,440 --> 01:07:03,320
Speaker 1: he's but he's one of those guys. I'm telling you what.

1208
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 1: The f al body is one of those guys that

1209
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 1: just has all kinds of physical traits. He is big,

1210
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:16,760
Speaker 1: I mean big big. He's not he's almost as tall

1211
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 1: as Rousseau, the six seven guy. He is big, he's athletic,

1212
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:24,200
Speaker 1: he's got all of that stuff. So when you're looking

1213
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:26,720
Speaker 1: at a guy who's got the physical attributes to be

1214
01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 1: really good, he certainly fits that skill skill set or

1215
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 1: fits that description. Still young in the game, and he's

1216
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 1: still I think, an ascending player. But he's also like

1217
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 1: twenty eight years old as well, so he's he's even

1218
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:45,000
Speaker 1: though he doesn't have that many miles on him. He

1219
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 1: played like a little bit younger than that. But I

1220
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:50,360
Speaker 1: see your logic there. But man, that would be a

1221
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:52,560
Speaker 1: big jump for him, no question. Yeah, that would be

1222
01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 1: a Josh Allen like jump if he did something like that.

1223
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:58,400
Speaker 1: My goodness. Yeah. Eli on the tweet sheet says, Carson

1224
01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:00,960
Speaker 1: went to the Colts. I think will help Wentz be

1225
01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:02,760
Speaker 1: better than what he was a couple of seasons ago.

1226
01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:05,800
Speaker 1: If the Carson Frank duo works as I think it will,

1227
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 1: be aware of the Colts they are pretty good, Yes,

1228
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:11,720
Speaker 1: they are hard to argue with that, and we kind

1229
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:14,800
Speaker 1: of covered that ground. Justin says I think the Titans

1230
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:17,599
Speaker 1: scored hugely with Julio Jones. He might not last pass

1231
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:19,840
Speaker 1: this season or next, but that offense might be able

1232
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 1: to run deep into the playoffs this year. Well, I mean,

1233
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:24,800
Speaker 1: as we said the other day, Steve, it is a

1234
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 1: pick your poison offense. Now for opposing the defenses with

1235
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:31,600
Speaker 1: that crew, yes, I mean they've got some. Julio's is

1236
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:33,599
Speaker 1: a load, but I'm I'll say that he's thirty two,

1237
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:39,479
Speaker 1: he was injured last year and I'm new team, little

1238
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 1: act and maybe he takes to the Tennessee Titans just

1239
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:51,080
Speaker 1: like Steph Diggs did to the Buffalo Bills. Maybe I

1240
01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 1: think Julio is a nice addition to that team. Not

1241
01:08:55,000 --> 01:09:00,759
Speaker 1: a difference maker. No, they run the ball, do you think, well,

1242
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:03,880
Speaker 1: let's not forget this though the offensive scheme has changed

1243
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:07,680
Speaker 1: or well Arthur Smith, Yeah, I don't know if the

1244
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:10,080
Speaker 1: scheme has changed, because I think they promoted from within it.

1245
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:12,960
Speaker 1: They did the quarterbacks coach move the quarters. Yeah, the

1246
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:16,000
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coach moved up, and so it'll be the same

1247
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:18,760
Speaker 1: verbiage and all of that, and maybe the same philosophy.

1248
01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:21,120
Speaker 1: I think that I think the philosophy comes from Mike

1249
01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:25,040
Speaker 1: Varible more than it did Arthur Smith. It'll be interesting

1250
01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:28,439
Speaker 1: to see, but I don't I don't know that the

1251
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:30,639
Speaker 1: Titans are gonna come and say, hey, we got Julio Jones,

1252
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:32,720
Speaker 1: all right, now we can now. I's like, now we

1253
01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:36,320
Speaker 1: can really run the ball well because because it'll pull

1254
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:40,960
Speaker 1: a guy out of the box. Right, We'll see. And

1255
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:44,599
Speaker 1: like we said, how do things change? And will Ryan

1256
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 1: Tannehill be able to be effective if they change into

1257
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:50,560
Speaker 1: an offense that throws at sixty percent of time and

1258
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:54,439
Speaker 1: runs it only forty? Yeah? I mean if Derrick Henry

1259
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 1: pops a hammy, well, and that's to me, that's still

1260
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:02,720
Speaker 1: the linger question about Tannehill. Like people appoint to his

1261
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:06,840
Speaker 1: remarkable efficiency and how good he is off play action,

1262
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:08,360
Speaker 1: It's like, well, of course he is. He's got the

1263
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:10,920
Speaker 1: best running back in the league to work off of

1264
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:13,519
Speaker 1: play action. Look, if it looks like you're going to

1265
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:16,800
Speaker 1: hand the ball to Derrick Henry, the opposing defense is

1266
01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 1: paying full attention to Derrick Henry, not Ryan Tannehill. And

1267
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:23,720
Speaker 1: he's taken advantage of that to his credit. It's it's

1268
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:25,679
Speaker 1: not his fault that he's playing with a great running back,

1269
01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:30,760
Speaker 1: but it leads one to wonder does that production continue

1270
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:34,320
Speaker 1: if Derrick Henry is not carrying the ball as much.

1271
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:36,960
Speaker 1: If they decide to shift the focus of the offense

1272
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:40,120
Speaker 1: to the passing game. Is Tannehill as efficient? Is he

1273
01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:42,439
Speaker 1: as productive or more productive? For that matter, if you're

1274
01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:45,080
Speaker 1: throwing more, he should be more productive. That is what

1275
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:48,800
Speaker 1: is going to bear watching in Tennessee. Let's go to

1276
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:51,600
Speaker 1: the phones at eight three fifty one eight eight eight

1277
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:55,479
Speaker 1: five two five fifty. Tell us the AFC offseason move

1278
01:10:55,880 --> 01:10:58,920
Speaker 1: that you believe will pay off the most for that

1279
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:03,240
Speaker 1: respective team. We lead off with Judy and Buffalo. Judy,

1280
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:04,840
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live.

1281
01:11:05,880 --> 01:11:08,599
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I'm worried about is the two

1282
01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:12,439
Speaker 1: tight end acquisition of the New England Patriots, because I

1283
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:18,320
Speaker 1: believe our Achilles heel is defending against tight ends right

1284
01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:24,360
Speaker 1: about that. What I see as if our edge rushers

1285
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:30,080
Speaker 1: can improve, we're in trouble. And this is this is

1286
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:32,840
Speaker 1: a this bothers me in our division because I think

1287
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 1: New England can beat us at least one time if

1288
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:38,639
Speaker 1: we're not careful. Is there do you worry more about

1289
01:11:38,720 --> 01:11:40,920
Speaker 1: John Us Smith or Hunter Henry? Which one of those

1290
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 1: two gives you more. Hunter Henry was tremendous against us

1291
01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:48,000
Speaker 1: last year. I don't know enough about the other guy,

1292
01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 1: but I mean, Hunter Henry was a killer. Yeah, and

1293
01:11:52,680 --> 01:11:54,920
Speaker 1: at least we know, at least we think that Cam

1294
01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:56,760
Speaker 1: Newton can still throw the ball to the middle of

1295
01:11:56,760 --> 01:11:58,879
Speaker 1: the field. I know, I don't know about outside anymore.

1296
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:02,759
Speaker 1: But if he's The question here, though, is the Bills

1297
01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:06,639
Speaker 1: don't play the Patriots judy until like week eleven or twelve,

1298
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:09,160
Speaker 1: and it might be mac Jones in the lineup by

1299
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:14,240
Speaker 1: then for all we know. Well, in the meantime, I'm

1300
01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:18,000
Speaker 1: still you know, the Patriots almost beat us last year

1301
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:20,800
Speaker 1: with nothing. I mean, it was down to that last

1302
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:24,040
Speaker 1: play where Zimmer took the ball away. So you know,

1303
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:27,479
Speaker 1: I don't think that I still need think we're we

1304
01:12:27,479 --> 01:12:30,519
Speaker 1: should be concerned about that team. Yeah, I agree with you.

1305
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:32,880
Speaker 1: We've all got a little scar tissue from all the

1306
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:36,840
Speaker 1: years of the Patriots being so good, and I think

1307
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:39,000
Speaker 1: that does linger and I agree with you. There's no

1308
01:12:39,080 --> 01:12:41,720
Speaker 1: question that the Patriots did almost beat the Bills last

1309
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 1: year in this building, in one Bill's drive in Hi

1310
01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:49,280
Speaker 1: Mark with just really running the football, and the Bills

1311
01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 1: had no answer for it. So unless they've got an

1312
01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:53,320
Speaker 1: answer for it or come up with a way to

1313
01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 1: combat those two tight ends, I think though, here's one

1314
01:12:56,920 --> 01:13:00,160
Speaker 1: thing too, Judy and everybody out who's thinking that the

1315
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:03,040
Speaker 1: Bills are gonna really really know who the Patriots are

1316
01:13:03,160 --> 01:13:05,200
Speaker 1: by the time they play them in the regular season.

1317
01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:12,920
Speaker 1: Brownie's right. The Bills don't play the Patriots until Week thirteen,

1318
01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:17,000
Speaker 1: which is you know twelve. They're gonna gonna it'll be

1319
01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:20,520
Speaker 1: their twelfth game after They'll be after December sixth. December

1320
01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:23,679
Speaker 1: six Jones could be playing like for a month by then, Right,

1321
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:25,599
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a really you're gonna have a really

1322
01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:27,719
Speaker 1: good handle on who that team is and how they're

1323
01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 1: playing and it with that in mind, at least she

1324
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:33,720
Speaker 1: had a chance to see, Okay, we've we've got a plan.

1325
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:37,200
Speaker 1: We have a good plan going in against them. I

1326
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:41,880
Speaker 1: don't want to be the Dolphins playing them an opening day, No, no, no,

1327
01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 1: I'd rather have a good handle on what they are

1328
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:49,400
Speaker 1: and take it from there. And I understand the concern.

1329
01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:52,640
Speaker 1: I get it. And you know, John U. Smith was

1330
01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:55,280
Speaker 1: a top passing option for the Titans and Hunter Henry

1331
01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:57,960
Speaker 1: was a top passing option for the Chargers. And you know,

1332
01:13:58,000 --> 01:13:59,720
Speaker 1: now they come to the Patriots and you could make

1333
01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:02,080
Speaker 1: the r argument that they're the top two targets in

1334
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:04,840
Speaker 1: their passing game. I mean, I know they added Nelson

1335
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:09,320
Speaker 1: Aghalore and Kendrick Bourne, but are those guys number one receivers?

1336
01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:11,080
Speaker 1: I don't think they are. So you could make the

1337
01:14:11,160 --> 01:14:13,439
Speaker 1: argument that these two tight ends are options one and

1338
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:16,160
Speaker 1: two in the in the New England passing game and

1339
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:19,480
Speaker 1: people wouldn't look at you crosside the right wide receivers

1340
01:14:19,479 --> 01:14:22,639
Speaker 1: to me or an afterthought in that whole deal, it's

1341
01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:25,719
Speaker 1: John Us Smith and Hunter their support supporting role players.

1342
01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:29,240
Speaker 1: They're not the middle of the road guys. Yeah, at

1343
01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:33,479
Speaker 1: best to me who were overpaid for in my estimation,

1344
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:35,960
Speaker 1: So how four of those guys were over given the

1345
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:38,040
Speaker 1: market and the way it transpired later in the year,

1346
01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:43,439
Speaker 1: they were they were well above marketing. Yeah, all four

1347
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:49,120
Speaker 1: of those guys. So well, So there's that and that's

1348
01:14:49,120 --> 01:14:52,320
Speaker 1: a good I think that's a good suggestion by Judy Um.

1349
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:55,360
Speaker 1: It could pay off for the Patriots. You never know,

1350
01:14:56,360 --> 01:14:59,000
Speaker 1: they obviously believe it will. Yeah, I think that's no

1351
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:01,519
Speaker 1: question when that it happened, and the way remember back

1352
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:03,240
Speaker 1: to how it happened. They were out of the gates

1353
01:15:03,240 --> 01:15:06,439
Speaker 1: signing those guys, just like the old days where everybody

1354
01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:09,559
Speaker 1: was like midnight of free agency. They were signing these guys,

1355
01:15:09,640 --> 01:15:12,240
Speaker 1: five guys signed before most teams had one free agency

1356
01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:16,840
Speaker 1: nobody everybody's like, oh okay, and nobody else was doing that.

1357
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:19,120
Speaker 1: And they paid big money for those guys, all four

1358
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:24,639
Speaker 1: of those guys, and as the free agent period crept along,

1359
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:29,240
Speaker 1: nobody even got close to those numbers. Yeah, I think

1360
01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:33,080
Speaker 1: Kenny Galladay was the only receiver that got gigantic money

1361
01:15:33,120 --> 01:15:37,200
Speaker 1: who wasn't franchised. They franchised Allen Robinson, anybody who and

1362
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:39,360
Speaker 1: he got money. But as far as anybody that moved,

1363
01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:41,800
Speaker 1: Kenny Galladay is the only guy that got paid with

1364
01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:45,200
Speaker 1: a capital P at the receiver position. Maybe one or

1365
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:49,679
Speaker 1: two others, So there was nobody like those guys. I mean, so,

1366
01:15:49,880 --> 01:15:53,720
Speaker 1: I think the Patriots misplayed the market. That's what it

1367
01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:55,759
Speaker 1: looks like. Well on this end of it, in a way,

1368
01:15:56,479 --> 01:15:58,840
Speaker 1: their hand was kind of forced to do so. They

1369
01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:01,599
Speaker 1: knew they had to get upgrades on their roster. They

1370
01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:05,120
Speaker 1: had money to spend with cap room, and so they said,

1371
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:08,680
Speaker 1: we can't chance this, so let's go in with our

1372
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:11,240
Speaker 1: best estimate as what we think the market will bear

1373
01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:14,719
Speaker 1: to make sure we land these people. In hindsight, yeah,

1374
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:18,559
Speaker 1: it looks like they overpaid, but they're not the first

1375
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:20,880
Speaker 1: team that's overpaid in free agency, and they will won't

1376
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:22,559
Speaker 1: be the last. And I'll tell you this though, it

1377
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:24,360
Speaker 1: kind of flies in the face of what we have

1378
01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:26,479
Speaker 1: come to and maybe we give them too much credit.

1379
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:28,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, we tend to do that sometimes.

1380
01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:31,800
Speaker 1: But the way they handled the draft, every said, well,

1381
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:33,960
Speaker 1: if they want they want their Mac, they're gonna jump

1382
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:36,080
Speaker 1: up and get him. They're gonna They were very patient,

1383
01:16:36,240 --> 01:16:38,360
Speaker 1: sat there and waited on me. He felt a various

1384
01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:41,360
Speaker 1: dude in that regard. They looked like they really worked

1385
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:47,120
Speaker 1: that draft day process to their advantage and they got

1386
01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:49,000
Speaker 1: the guy that ever was purported to be the guy

1387
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:53,400
Speaker 1: they wanted. And there was a lot of jocking for position.

1388
01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:55,120
Speaker 1: Teams were trying to move up and trying and we

1389
01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:57,439
Speaker 1: heard this after the fact, and they had to get

1390
01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:01,960
Speaker 1: wind of that through their versations, and yet they sat

1391
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:06,320
Speaker 1: tight and mac Jones felt to them and that's whether

1392
01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:08,760
Speaker 1: they deserve it or not. They're getting a lot of

1393
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:11,640
Speaker 1: credit for that because they could have given up a

1394
01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:13,439
Speaker 1: ton of assets to move up into the top ten.

1395
01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:16,080
Speaker 1: To take a guy who's and even at fifteen, mac

1396
01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:21,840
Speaker 1: Jones was like a reach physically, but they got him

1397
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:24,599
Speaker 1: so and that end of it, they looked like they

1398
01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:26,320
Speaker 1: really knew what they were doing on draft day and

1399
01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:28,360
Speaker 1: on the other end of the free agency end, they're

1400
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:31,280
Speaker 1: like what, which is kind of a flip of what

1401
01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:34,040
Speaker 1: they how they usually build their rosters. So that is

1402
01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:37,160
Speaker 1: why it is somewhat unique for that franchise in particular.

1403
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:40,559
Speaker 1: Break time for us here when we come back, We've

1404
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:43,360
Speaker 1: got a little What's for lunch, and don't forget we

1405
01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:46,559
Speaker 1: have nfl UK's Neil Reynolds coming your way in the

1406
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,439
Speaker 1: third hour of the program. Stay tuned here on One

1407
01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:50,439
Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by a lot of health It's Buffalo

1408
01:17:50,439 --> 01:18:15,639
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. Well him back to One Bills Live. Chris Brown,

1409
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:18,640
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you, talking about the offseason moves in

1410
01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:22,440
Speaker 1: the AFC and which one might result in the biggest payoff.

1411
01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:28,440
Speaker 1: There are some out there. We've discussed many of them,

1412
01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:31,000
Speaker 1: and we'll go back to the Tweetchet shortly, but right

1413
01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:33,960
Speaker 1: now it is time for a little lunch. What's for

1414
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:39,360
Speaker 1: lunch today? Where we pick NFL items off the menu

1415
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:42,960
Speaker 1: and decide which one we're going to order. So first

1416
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:46,760
Speaker 1: on the menu, Steve, and what's for lunch? Starting quarterback

1417
01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:54,040
Speaker 1: for the Broncos Drew Locke or Teddy Bridgewater. I think

1418
01:18:54,040 --> 01:18:57,240
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater, well, are you picking what you would select

1419
01:18:57,439 --> 01:18:59,800
Speaker 1: or what you think the Broncos would pick. I'm thinking

1420
01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:03,560
Speaker 1: that's going to be. Oh, it's gonna be okay. Yeah,

1421
01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:06,519
Speaker 1: Drew Locke's great kid, good kid play. Had some flashes

1422
01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:09,320
Speaker 1: against the Bills in their game. He made a couple

1423
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:13,320
Speaker 1: of throws that were really nice. But Teddy Bridgewater, at

1424
01:19:13,320 --> 01:19:15,280
Speaker 1: this point of his career, still got a lot of

1425
01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:17,479
Speaker 1: football left in him. And while that he does not

1426
01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:20,320
Speaker 1: have the traits of Drew Locke, his arms not a

1427
01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:24,400
Speaker 1: strong and that kind of thing, his experience and his

1428
01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:27,479
Speaker 1: veteran and his leadership are gonna be what the Broncos

1429
01:19:27,479 --> 01:19:29,760
Speaker 1: are more of what the Broncos are looking for. I

1430
01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:35,880
Speaker 1: think Drew Locke is captain turnover and he hasn't done

1431
01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:40,599
Speaker 1: a whole lot to quell concerns about the rate at

1432
01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:43,840
Speaker 1: which he does turn the ball over. I think Bridgewater

1433
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:48,920
Speaker 1: could be a settling influence on that offense and on

1434
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:51,519
Speaker 1: that passing game. And make no mistake, there are weapons there.

1435
01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:54,840
Speaker 1: I mean, Courtland Sutton comes back from a season ending

1436
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:57,800
Speaker 1: injury last year. He's your number one receiver. You got

1437
01:19:57,880 --> 01:20:00,559
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy on the other side. He got j Hammler

1438
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:02,040
Speaker 1: in the slot, and you got no Ah Fan to

1439
01:20:02,200 --> 01:20:06,920
Speaker 1: tight end. I mean that is a crew. So Bridgewater

1440
01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:10,280
Speaker 1: just has to be a facilitator, right, And when you

1441
01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:12,760
Speaker 1: think about it, and distribute the ball. That's all they

1442
01:20:12,760 --> 01:20:16,280
Speaker 1: needed last year, right, and Drew lock couldn't do it.

1443
01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:19,320
Speaker 1: And they've had plenty of time to They've had plenty

1444
01:20:19,320 --> 01:20:21,720
Speaker 1: of time to look at Drew Locke and evaluate him,

1445
01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:24,760
Speaker 1: and they still brought Teddy Bridgewater and turned it into

1446
01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:28,559
Speaker 1: a competition. So I'm I think Teddy Bridgewater has been

1447
01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:31,280
Speaker 1: down that road too many times not to not to

1448
01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:36,640
Speaker 1: know the way. What's for lunch. Numerous dose Mason Rudolph

1449
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:44,360
Speaker 1: or Dwayne Haskins the better Roethlisberger replacement going forward. So

1450
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:47,639
Speaker 1: we know it's been this year unless he completely falls

1451
01:20:47,640 --> 01:20:51,360
Speaker 1: off a cliff and can't throw anymore. But Mason Rudolph

1452
01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:54,599
Speaker 1: and Dwayne Haskins, as you know, on the roster as

1453
01:20:54,680 --> 01:21:00,879
Speaker 1: potential backups. Who is the better Roethlisberger replacement in twenty

1454
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:03,840
Speaker 1: twenty two, although for all we know, neither of them

1455
01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:05,200
Speaker 1: could be there now? Yeah, I don't think. Yeah, I

1456
01:21:05,240 --> 01:21:07,800
Speaker 1: don't think the Pittsburgh Steeters twenty twenty two quarterbacks on

1457
01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:10,280
Speaker 1: the roster. Yeah, I don't either. But if we're going

1458
01:21:10,320 --> 01:21:15,080
Speaker 1: to pick one, I was Mason Rudolph because his experience

1459
01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:21,280
Speaker 1: in the system. Okay, Dwayne Haskins struggled as a Washington

1460
01:21:21,479 --> 01:21:26,960
Speaker 1: football team player and I don't know that they can

1461
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:32,400
Speaker 1: fix that in Pittsburgh. Consistency is sorely lacking in Haskins game.

1462
01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:35,240
Speaker 1: I think we can safely say that based on his

1463
01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:45,360
Speaker 1: playoff last year. And yeah, I wonder. I wonder how

1464
01:21:45,400 --> 01:21:50,600
Speaker 1: well he can decipher and diagnose what's coming at him defensively,

1465
01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:53,200
Speaker 1: because that was a knock on him in Washington and

1466
01:21:53,320 --> 01:21:57,080
Speaker 1: it did not seem to improve with each passing game.

1467
01:21:57,439 --> 01:21:59,479
Speaker 1: And I think that's why Ron Rivera said, yeah, we're

1468
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:04,160
Speaker 1: pulling the chord there. Yeah, to have a guy flame

1469
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:06,320
Speaker 1: out like that, I think there's even more to them.

1470
01:22:06,400 --> 01:22:08,920
Speaker 1: I'm not a huge fan of Mason Rudolph either. I

1471
01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:15,360
Speaker 1: think he's horribly limited as an NFL passer, which is

1472
01:22:15,400 --> 01:22:17,000
Speaker 1: why I tend to agree with you. I don't think

1473
01:22:17,040 --> 01:22:19,160
Speaker 1: the quarterback for the Steelers in twenty twenty two is

1474
01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:22,960
Speaker 1: even on the roster right now. Yeah, so will reluctantly

1475
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 1: pick Mason Rudolph for our second course. Exactly what's for lunch?

1476
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:31,280
Speaker 1: Number three? Better Sunday Night Football play by play man

1477
01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:35,519
Speaker 1: Al Michaels are Mike Arco. That's a tough one. I'm

1478
01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:41,439
Speaker 1: a bigger I'm a big fan Al Michaels. Now, yeah,

1479
01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:43,559
Speaker 1: I can. I can. I've listened to him for so

1480
01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:46,400
Speaker 1: many years. I can tell he's not the same guy

1481
01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:49,599
Speaker 1: he used to be. But he's good. I mean, he's

1482
01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:53,960
Speaker 1: really good. And I think to his ability to include

1483
01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:58,120
Speaker 1: Chris collins Worth in the broadcast and the rapport they've

1484
01:22:58,160 --> 01:22:59,800
Speaker 1: got on the air, I like better than the one

1485
01:23:00,160 --> 01:23:02,800
Speaker 1: Tariko has, no not the Mike's. And I like Mike.

1486
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:06,000
Speaker 1: I've known him, we have worked quite well, acquainted. Love

1487
01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:09,240
Speaker 1: the guy. But I like Al Yeah, I mean, and

1488
01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:11,439
Speaker 1: believe me, take it from a guy who's been in

1489
01:23:11,439 --> 01:23:14,800
Speaker 1: the booth. It's all subjective. Yeah, I mean, both of

1490
01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:18,439
Speaker 1: them are consummate professionals, absolutely with what they do. I

1491
01:23:18,479 --> 01:23:22,120
Speaker 1: will say this about Tariko, I don't know that there

1492
01:23:22,200 --> 01:23:27,360
Speaker 1: is another play by play broadcaster that provides as much

1493
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:33,200
Speaker 1: informational knowledge about the participants in the athletic contest than

1494
01:23:33,320 --> 01:23:39,599
Speaker 1: Tarrico does, And from what I've heard about him, there is.

1495
01:23:40,720 --> 01:23:45,200
Speaker 1: There are some some very interesting stories about the level

1496
01:23:45,240 --> 01:23:48,080
Speaker 1: of preparedness that he goes to, the lengths he goes

1497
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:50,880
Speaker 1: to with his preparedness to be able to spit out

1498
01:23:50,880 --> 01:23:54,600
Speaker 1: all that information through the course of a broadcast. And

1499
01:23:55,080 --> 01:24:01,280
Speaker 1: the amazing thing is as voluminous as his informational dialogues

1500
01:24:01,320 --> 01:24:04,439
Speaker 1: are through the course of the game. For some reason,

1501
01:24:04,479 --> 01:24:07,360
Speaker 1: they don't feel forced, like you know what, somebody's just

1502
01:24:07,479 --> 01:24:12,040
Speaker 1: forcing information on you. It's not intrusive. Another great one

1503
01:24:12,120 --> 01:24:14,719
Speaker 1: is the guy that that does the pregame preseason games

1504
01:24:14,720 --> 01:24:17,880
Speaker 1: with me, Andrew Catalan. One of the reasons he has

1505
01:24:18,240 --> 01:24:22,640
Speaker 1: has elevated himself through the ranks of CBS as his

1506
01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:25,960
Speaker 1: ability to do exactly what you're talking about. He sprinkles

1507
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:31,080
Speaker 1: in so much knowledge and information into the broadcast while

1508
01:24:31,080 --> 01:24:36,440
Speaker 1: he's doing play by play, and it's not intrusive, it's informative.

1509
01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:40,000
Speaker 1: It's really it's perfectly presented so that it just it's

1510
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:44,680
Speaker 1: it flows, and those guys are rare and same thing

1511
01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:48,840
Speaker 1: I did Andrew Catalon's first game when CBS was given

1512
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:53,880
Speaker 1: him a shot, right, and the transition from that first game,

1513
01:24:53,920 --> 01:24:56,360
Speaker 1: as good as it was, to what he's doing now

1514
01:24:56,840 --> 01:25:01,000
Speaker 1: is unbelievable. His board that he has is, oh, is phenomenal.

1515
01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:03,160
Speaker 1: And you know he or you know, it's forget about it.

1516
01:25:03,160 --> 01:25:07,200
Speaker 1: You couldn't you couldn't even decipher it. And he you know,

1517
01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:09,240
Speaker 1: the way he organizes it is for him, and that's

1518
01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:10,960
Speaker 1: which is why you know, it's all he does his

1519
01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:13,599
Speaker 1: handwritten as well. I used to do all mine handwrit

1520
01:25:13,680 --> 01:25:16,360
Speaker 1: because I do you organize it, you organize it the

1521
01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:18,000
Speaker 1: same way you know, and all that, I feel like

1522
01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:20,280
Speaker 1: I retain it better when I write it, absolutely and

1523
01:25:20,360 --> 01:25:23,559
Speaker 1: so um. But those guys like Mike Rico, and Andrew

1524
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:27,439
Speaker 1: and and Al Michaels as well, they just they've it

1525
01:25:27,560 --> 01:25:30,080
Speaker 1: flows so well and there's a real art form to it.

1526
01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:32,000
Speaker 1: And I got a lot of respect for those guys.

1527
01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:34,559
Speaker 1: But I you know, if you're talking about Mike Rico

1528
01:25:34,640 --> 01:25:37,320
Speaker 1: or Al Michaels, I I think I pick Al Michaels

1529
01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:40,120
Speaker 1: just because I've heard six thousand of his games. I

1530
01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:42,479
Speaker 1: kind of grew up with Al Michaels, so I would

1531
01:25:42,520 --> 01:25:45,960
Speaker 1: tend to side with him. I mean, I'm a kid

1532
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:49,040
Speaker 1: listening to the nineteen eighty US Olympic hockey game that

1533
01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:54,360
Speaker 1: he called with Ken Dryden, Like, I mean, where do

1534
01:25:54,400 --> 01:25:56,800
Speaker 1: you go from there? Um? I mean we used to

1535
01:25:57,000 --> 01:25:59,160
Speaker 1: I remember when he used to do baseball. I mean

1536
01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:02,240
Speaker 1: that's how I mean. He was doing Monday Night football

1537
01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:04,360
Speaker 1: with Frank Gifford and those guys, and I, you know,

1538
01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:06,240
Speaker 1: I had a chance to do some production means with

1539
01:26:06,280 --> 01:26:10,280
Speaker 1: those guys as a player. Just tremendous. Yeah, it's tremendous guy.

1540
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:12,760
Speaker 1: All Right, that is what's for lunch. Steve and I

Speaker 1: day of school slate board social media post yesterday. He's

1550
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:08,559
Speaker 1: taken it today two. As we know, there are certain

1551
01:27:08,560 --> 01:27:12,639
Speaker 1: areas of the Mid Atlantic region that are being literally

1552
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:18,800
Speaker 1: overrun by the cicadas that come out every seventeen years

1553
01:27:19,120 --> 01:27:22,920
Speaker 1: and basically looked like a horde of locusts, bringing the

1554
01:27:23,040 --> 01:27:25,519
Speaker 1: end of the humanity as we know it to our planet,

1555
01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:29,560
Speaker 1: which we'll get into in a second, but all on

1556
01:27:29,640 --> 01:27:33,200
Speaker 1: the practice field, one Ryan Fitzpatrick of the Washington football

1557
01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:38,080
Speaker 1: team came across as cicada lodged in his beard and

1558
01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:41,479
Speaker 1: did not flinch. It's hard to see there, but it's

1559
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:43,320
Speaker 1: right square in the middle of his beard under his

1560
01:27:43,439 --> 01:27:46,559
Speaker 1: mouth for our MSG viewers taking a look at this,

1561
01:27:46,600 --> 01:27:48,200
Speaker 1: and he just walked right up to the camera and

1562
01:27:48,240 --> 01:27:50,160
Speaker 1: smiled and says, look at what I got on me

1563
01:27:50,320 --> 01:27:56,200
Speaker 1: taking a ride. Unbelievable. Yeah, that it seems like to me.

1564
01:27:56,240 --> 01:27:58,960
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, they were everywhere every year. Yes,

1565
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:03,760
Speaker 1: I don't think it's this particular species, um, but yes,

1566
01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:05,599
Speaker 1: I used We used to get them on Long Island

1567
01:28:05,640 --> 01:28:07,880
Speaker 1: too in the summertime. They make a rare walk out

1568
01:28:07,960 --> 01:28:13,840
Speaker 1: science like what just constant. And I gotta tell you,

1569
01:28:13,880 --> 01:28:16,320
Speaker 1: as a little kid, I was terrified of these things

1570
01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:18,720
Speaker 1: because they look gigantic. They are gigantic. I mean they're

1571
01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:21,080
Speaker 1: bigger than an adult thumb. Yeah, i mean they're a

1572
01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:27,160
Speaker 1: big They're a big bug. And I'll never forget. It's

1573
01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:30,840
Speaker 1: the summer and I'm like seven or eight years old.

1574
01:28:31,160 --> 01:28:34,559
Speaker 1: I'm at a soccer camp on Long Island, and uh,

1575
01:28:35,320 --> 01:28:37,479
Speaker 1: I wasn't the only kid that was terrified of these things.

1576
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:41,760
Speaker 1: And they were everywhere in the summer where every afternoon

1577
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:44,960
Speaker 1: at soccer camp, you would have the championship game. It's

1578
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:47,600
Speaker 1: basically a scrimmage game against the other age group in

1579
01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:52,000
Speaker 1: your soccer camp division or whatever. And so we're playing

1580
01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:55,840
Speaker 1: this game. Yeah, we're playing this game. And I get

1581
01:28:55,880 --> 01:28:59,639
Speaker 1: past the ball and I fake out the first two guys.

1582
01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:02,000
Speaker 1: I'm going up the field and all of a sudden,

1583
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:05,040
Speaker 1: people are running away from me, and I'm like, the

1584
01:29:05,040 --> 01:29:07,719
Speaker 1: Heck's going on? This is awesome. Like I've got nothing

1585
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:11,479
Speaker 1: but green grass in front of me, the soccer god,

1586
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:14,880
Speaker 1: it's me and the goalkeeper spreading. That's me and the goalkeeper.

1587
01:29:14,920 --> 01:29:17,240
Speaker 1: I'm seven. I'm like, i feel like I've got you know,

1588
01:29:17,280 --> 01:29:20,000
Speaker 1: the wind is in my hair. I'm flying down the field.

1589
01:29:20,040 --> 01:29:23,080
Speaker 1: Nobody can stop me. I get to the goalkeeper, I'm

1590
01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:25,320
Speaker 1: like twelve yards away. He runs out of the net.

1591
01:29:25,439 --> 01:29:29,479
Speaker 1: I'm like, good bye me go. You know, I'm running around.

1592
01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:32,280
Speaker 1: I scored got your shirt off. My teammates are running

1593
01:29:32,320 --> 01:29:34,240
Speaker 1: away from me. I'm like, what the hell is going on? Dude?

1594
01:29:34,240 --> 01:29:36,800
Speaker 1: Like you gotta s a gate on your back. It's

1595
01:29:36,840 --> 01:29:40,200
Speaker 1: on your back. And now I'm like, oh, gate on

1596
01:29:40,240 --> 01:29:42,439
Speaker 1: your back. So all these kids were running away from

1597
01:29:42,439 --> 01:29:45,280
Speaker 1: me because they were terrified of the bug that's on

1598
01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:47,519
Speaker 1: my back. They were going nowhere near me. They want

1599
01:29:47,520 --> 01:29:49,080
Speaker 1: anything to do with me because they you know, this

1600
01:29:49,439 --> 01:29:54,439
Speaker 1: sense of permanent uniform assession. And then I freaked out

1601
01:29:54,920 --> 01:29:58,320
Speaker 1: on fire right swinging it against the post, like whipping

1602
01:29:58,320 --> 01:30:00,320
Speaker 1: it there to get the bug off the goal. Cata

1603
01:30:00,360 --> 01:30:04,760
Speaker 1: though right, Oh it did absolutely, but I couldn't figure

1604
01:30:04,800 --> 01:30:08,559
Speaker 1: out what the hell was going on. I did the

1605
01:30:08,600 --> 01:30:11,200
Speaker 1: same thing. We pull up at this little dairy queen

1606
01:30:11,320 --> 01:30:13,439
Speaker 1: or whatever it was, as the Kada's sitting there, and

1607
01:30:13,479 --> 01:30:16,000
Speaker 1: you know, I wasn't afraid of him, but you pick

1608
01:30:16,080 --> 01:30:18,240
Speaker 1: him up. They were kind of creepy. But you know, well,

1609
01:30:18,280 --> 01:30:21,720
Speaker 1: the creepy parts when you pick him up and you

1610
01:30:21,800 --> 01:30:23,800
Speaker 1: only pick him up by part of you don't like,

1611
01:30:24,360 --> 01:30:26,000
Speaker 1: you know, you don't put him in your hand, and

1612
01:30:26,080 --> 01:30:27,920
Speaker 1: he's grabb him with your two your thumb and four

1613
01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:30,840
Speaker 1: finger and you got it like a thing. And the

1614
01:30:31,360 --> 01:30:36,120
Speaker 1: thing like somehow got turned around and put its legs

1615
01:30:36,120 --> 01:30:38,240
Speaker 1: on my Oh yeah, that'll freak me out. I would

1616
01:30:38,240 --> 01:30:42,360
Speaker 1: have been out of there. I blood curdling, like I

1617
01:30:42,400 --> 01:30:47,479
Speaker 1: would saying six yeah, scream at the top of my lungs.

1618
01:30:48,280 --> 01:30:54,840
Speaker 1: Fuck it. I'm the youngest of four brothers, right, so

1619
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:57,000
Speaker 1: you can imagine my four brothers are sitting there going

1620
01:30:58,160 --> 01:31:03,120
Speaker 1: You're an embarrassment. They're looking down there, they're like, oh god, kid,

1621
01:31:03,200 --> 01:31:06,640
Speaker 1: brothers man disgust me. Yeah. It's like my dad used

1622
01:31:06,640 --> 01:31:08,479
Speaker 1: to put me in the backyard to do yard work

1623
01:31:08,479 --> 01:31:10,559
Speaker 1: in the summer, and you know, you know, raking up

1624
01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:14,040
Speaker 1: sticks or whatever it is, um trim and hedges, you know,

1625
01:31:14,520 --> 01:31:16,400
Speaker 1: and I'm like eight or nine, and you know, like

1626
01:31:16,600 --> 01:31:19,439
Speaker 1: the hedge trimmer, I can barely hold the thing. And

1627
01:31:19,520 --> 01:31:21,720
Speaker 1: like you're walking in the backyard and I'm like, I'm

1628
01:31:21,720 --> 01:31:23,559
Speaker 1: in a suburban area. I'm not out in a country,

1629
01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:26,920
Speaker 1: but there's cicadas everywhere. These things come jumping out of

1630
01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:29,559
Speaker 1: the hedges when you walk by, you know, they're buzzing

1631
01:31:29,600 --> 01:31:32,680
Speaker 1: the tower. You're like, what the hell is that? I

1632
01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:36,800
Speaker 1: was terrified of those things from about age five to ten. God,

1633
01:31:36,840 --> 01:31:39,599
Speaker 1: I hated it. It does it creepy out. Also, seventeen

1634
01:31:39,680 --> 01:31:42,200
Speaker 1: years between times you see him. Now we'll think about this. Now,

1635
01:31:42,240 --> 01:31:45,679
Speaker 1: that's like, that's like Mother Earth. This is how crazy

1636
01:31:45,680 --> 01:31:47,559
Speaker 1: it is canic This is how crazy it is. Because

1637
01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:49,640
Speaker 1: I saw Al Roker on the Today Show mentioned this.

1638
01:31:50,520 --> 01:31:53,080
Speaker 1: They there are so many of them. They showed up

1639
01:31:53,120 --> 01:31:57,800
Speaker 1: on radar on a meteorology This is so our MSG

1640
01:31:57,960 --> 01:32:00,800
Speaker 1: viewers are looking at this now, this is the cicada

1641
01:32:00,880 --> 01:32:06,360
Speaker 1: cluster that is so dense it is showing up on

1642
01:32:06,560 --> 01:32:10,559
Speaker 1: radar as a biological They're like, well, this is not

1643
01:32:10,640 --> 01:32:13,639
Speaker 1: a weather pattern. This is biological in nature, and they

1644
01:32:13,720 --> 01:32:17,920
Speaker 1: deduce that is the cicada cluster in the Mid Atlantic region.

1645
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:20,439
Speaker 1: Right now, Are you kidding me, like like up in

1646
01:32:20,439 --> 01:32:27,280
Speaker 1: the air. Yes, Yeah, that's that's like biblical stuff right now, dude,

1647
01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:29,479

1648
01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:32,000
Speaker 1: have to worry, you don't have to worry about zombies

1649
01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:36,800
Speaker 1: or China or somebody else taken over this world. It's

1650
01:32:36,800 --> 01:32:43,040
Speaker 1: the insects, well, it's the pandemic insects, cicadas and what

1651
01:32:43,200 --> 01:32:46,120
Speaker 1: other else, whatever else thing you got. I'm telling you, man,

1652
01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:48,519
Speaker 1: think about that. To see that. To me, that's like

1653
01:32:49,960 --> 01:32:51,920
Speaker 1: and we all say you can't fool with mother nature

1654
01:32:51,920 --> 01:32:54,640
Speaker 1: and like the old like the old butter commercial. I

1655
01:32:54,640 --> 01:32:57,599
Speaker 1: know I'm not, but think about it, like tidal waves,

1656
01:32:57,720 --> 01:33:04,040
Speaker 1: tsunamis yeahs now, it's Cicada's Earth is punching back, right,

1659
01:33:09,880 --> 01:33:11,160
Speaker 1: like you're laid in Benett and night. It's one of

1660
01:33:11,200 --> 01:33:12,640
Speaker 1: the things you know you don't worry about. I mean,

Speaker 1: Obviously I'm playing to the home crowd here, but I'm

1747
01:38:12,160 --> 01:38:15,840
Speaker 1: very excited about the Bills this season. Anyway, I really

1748
01:38:15,840 --> 01:38:17,519
Speaker 1: want to see Josh Allen in the flesh. I was

01:38:20,640 --> 01:38:23,519
Speaker 1: I call White for Actually, yeah, that should be good. Um,

1751
01:38:24,120 --> 01:38:26,160
Speaker 1: of course, watch Neil comes here and we'll get like

1752
01:38:26,240 --> 01:38:31,040
Speaker 1: some kind of fifty five degree fahrenheit reprieve and uh,

1753
01:38:31,479 --> 01:38:33,840
Speaker 1: you know he'll be here in like a like a

1754
01:38:33,880 --> 01:38:36,960
Speaker 1: windbreaker watching the game in December, we'll get those wacky

1755
01:38:37,040 --> 01:38:40,639
Speaker 1: weather days sometimes. We also understand before we get into

1756
01:38:40,640 --> 01:38:43,519
Speaker 1: the Bills a little bit more here, Neil, that you've

1757
01:38:43,560 --> 01:38:45,840
Speaker 1: got someone in your family that is going to be

1758
01:38:45,920 --> 01:38:49,639
Speaker 1: playing football at the collegiate level north of the border

1759
01:38:49,720 --> 01:38:51,679
Speaker 1: from US quite a bit. I think Otta was about

1760
01:38:51,720 --> 01:38:54,639
Speaker 1: what seven eight hours from US, it's right, not even

1761
01:38:54,880 --> 01:38:57,880
Speaker 1: more than that. But you've got your boy he's gonna

1762
01:38:57,880 --> 01:39:02,000
Speaker 1: be playing at the next level here. George Reynolds, Yeah, yeah,

1763
01:39:02,080 --> 01:39:04,960
Speaker 1: there is. My son, Georgie is at the NFL Academy.

1764
01:39:05,040 --> 01:39:07,960
Speaker 1: He's got scholarship to go to the University of Ottawa.

1765
01:39:08,520 --> 01:39:13,280
Speaker 1: He's already been talking with your new British defensive lineman

1766
01:39:13,400 --> 01:39:15,559
Speaker 1: Fa at Bardo. Fa has invited him down to a

1767
01:39:15,600 --> 01:39:18,320
Speaker 1: Bills game. So it might be quite a drive to Buffalo,

1768
01:39:18,360 --> 01:39:20,439
Speaker 1: but probably a short flight. So I think I think

1769
01:39:20,439 --> 01:39:22,559
Speaker 1: George will be checking out a Buffalo Bills game at

1770
01:39:22,600 --> 01:39:25,160
Speaker 1: some point anyway. But he's worked very hard for it.

1771
01:39:25,840 --> 01:39:28,240
Speaker 1: He's a very you know, unbiased of course by here

1772
01:39:28,280 --> 01:39:31,040
Speaker 1: from people that he's a very good quarterback. You know.

1773
01:39:31,120 --> 01:39:33,680
Speaker 1: Chris Sims tells me that, Kurt Warner tells me that. So,

1774
01:39:34,600 --> 01:39:36,439
Speaker 1: um yeah, he's got a shot to get over to

1775
01:39:36,479 --> 01:39:38,679
Speaker 1: that side of the pond, which doesn't happen very often

1776
01:39:38,800 --> 01:39:42,240
Speaker 1: for British or European quarterbacks. He's got a chance to

1777
01:39:43,080 --> 01:39:45,479
Speaker 1: put some put some game film on tape and see

1778
01:39:45,479 --> 01:39:48,000
Speaker 1: where his journey goes next. But yeah, really excited about

1779
01:39:48,040 --> 01:39:51,160
Speaker 1: the chance to play in And there are usually there

1780
01:39:51,160 --> 01:39:54,760
Speaker 1: are usually a handful of players every year, you know,

1781
01:39:54,800 --> 01:39:58,559
Speaker 1: they get drafted out of Canada. Um that, you know,

1782
01:39:58,640 --> 01:40:01,000
Speaker 1: get a shot in the NFL at least make a roster.

1783
01:40:01,200 --> 01:40:04,400
Speaker 1: I know that. Um heck, you also had Sorry, I

1784
01:40:04,439 --> 01:40:06,559
Speaker 1: was just gonna say he had he actually had from

1785
01:40:06,600 --> 01:40:10,080
Speaker 1: from Tom Lemming. H Tom Leming's high school magazine had

1786
01:40:10,120 --> 01:40:13,800
Speaker 1: a three star rating last year. Um, so you know,

1787
01:40:13,920 --> 01:40:15,960
Speaker 1: we've looked at a lot of three star quarterbacks that

1788
01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:18,959
Speaker 1: were in America. They got sort of sixteen or seventeen

1789
01:40:19,080 --> 01:40:22,160
Speaker 1: D one offers. I think with COVID and with the

1790
01:40:22,200 --> 01:40:25,639
Speaker 1: fact that George is British, Um, those kind of offers

1791
01:40:25,640 --> 01:40:28,360
Speaker 1: didn't materialize. That's not to say that ott Or isn't

1792
01:40:28,360 --> 01:40:30,360
Speaker 1: a great experience and a great school. It is, and

1793
01:40:30,400 --> 01:40:33,240
Speaker 1: the coaching staff up there are excellent. You know, the

1794
01:40:33,280 --> 01:40:36,280
Speaker 1: coach is an ex CFL head coach. They've got packers

1795
01:40:36,280 --> 01:40:40,240
Speaker 1: assistants that are on the staff. So yeah, George's got

1796
01:40:40,240 --> 01:40:42,200
Speaker 1: he got quite a good rating and I think he's

1797
01:40:42,240 --> 01:40:43,720
Speaker 1: got a chance to go and prove himself on that

1798
01:40:43,760 --> 01:40:46,360
Speaker 1: side of the pond. I mean, Steve played with Canadian

1799
01:40:46,360 --> 01:40:48,920
Speaker 1: players here on the bill, Tim Tindale, right was Timmy

1800
01:40:48,960 --> 01:40:51,439
Speaker 1: Tindale was here? Yeah? There, and there are player Canadian

1801
01:40:51,439 --> 01:40:56,680
Speaker 1: players that come down constantly. Um yeah, there's there's no

1802
01:40:57,200 --> 01:41:00,160
Speaker 1: Doug Flutie, the whole nine yards, all of it. A

1803
01:41:00,200 --> 01:41:03,479
Speaker 1: ton of guys, you know, Joe Cap all those guys

1804
01:41:03,640 --> 01:41:05,800
Speaker 1: that played up there over the course of the of

1805
01:41:05,880 --> 01:41:07,840
Speaker 1: the air. But even the collegiate kids up there, they'll

1806
01:41:07,840 --> 01:41:09,559
Speaker 1: come down and play. I mean a Keem Hicks, I

1807
01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:11,479
Speaker 1: think he was playing up in Canada. I want to

1808
01:41:11,479 --> 01:41:15,600
Speaker 1: see he played in Regina or somewhere out west in

1809
01:41:15,640 --> 01:41:19,640
Speaker 1: Western Canada, so they get looks. I mean, all he

1810
01:41:19,680 --> 01:41:23,120
Speaker 1: needs is an opportunity and then off you go. We've

1811
01:41:23,120 --> 01:41:26,599
Speaker 1: been asking our listeners today and you you'll have an

1812
01:41:26,600 --> 01:41:29,200
Speaker 1: over you're a big picture guy with the NF, with

1813
01:41:29,240 --> 01:41:34,000
Speaker 1: the podcast and over the course of the all the

1814
01:41:34,160 --> 01:41:36,720
Speaker 1: big transactions. I want to take one team, or any

1815
01:41:36,800 --> 01:41:39,760
Speaker 1: but one transaction or one acquisition, whether it be a

1816
01:41:39,800 --> 01:41:43,679
Speaker 1: new head coach or a new player draft pick. Which

1817
01:41:43,760 --> 01:41:46,320
Speaker 1: one of those? And we've asked our listeners to chime

1818
01:41:46,360 --> 01:41:47,920
Speaker 1: in as well, which one do you think is gonna

1819
01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:50,920
Speaker 1: make the biggest impact this season for whichever team made

1820
01:41:50,920 --> 01:41:54,200
Speaker 1: that one single transaction? Do you have any that pop

1821
01:41:54,240 --> 01:41:58,880
Speaker 1: out of the long list of transactions that happened every offseason. Yeah,

1822
01:41:59,120 --> 01:42:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonn cheat. I'm go go with one that's really

1823
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:02,880
Speaker 1: old in the off season and one that's really new.

1824
01:42:02,960 --> 01:42:07,559
Speaker 1: I think Julio Jones going to Tennessee changes changes their offense.

1825
01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:09,439
Speaker 1: You know, how do you load up to stop Derek

1826
01:42:09,479 --> 01:42:12,559
Speaker 1: Henry when you've got a j Brown and Julio Jones. Now,

1827
01:42:12,600 --> 01:42:15,479
Speaker 1: if it's if it's the Julio that was last year,

1828
01:42:15,520 --> 01:42:17,320
Speaker 1: you're probably still going to roll the dice. Even if

1829
01:42:17,320 --> 01:42:20,479
Speaker 1: you missed seven games with a hamstring injury, still led

1830
01:42:20,520 --> 01:42:23,120
Speaker 1: close to eight hundred yards receiving the six years before

1831
01:42:23,160 --> 01:42:27,559
Speaker 1: that averaging fifteen hundred yards per season. This is a

1832
01:42:27,560 --> 01:42:30,599
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. This is now You've got not one

1833
01:42:31,040 --> 01:42:33,880
Speaker 1: number one receiver in A. J. Brown, but you've got two.

1834
01:42:35,920 --> 01:42:38,200
Speaker 1: What an opportunity for Ryan Tannehill. You know, he was

1835
01:42:38,280 --> 01:42:41,080
Speaker 1: kind of just there in Miami with not huge amounts

1836
01:42:41,080 --> 01:42:43,600
Speaker 1: of talent around him. Now he gets the chance to

1837
01:42:43,640 --> 01:42:48,000
Speaker 1: work with Derek Henry in the backfield, Julio Jones and A. J. Brown.

1838
01:42:48,080 --> 01:42:51,360
Speaker 1: So that that would be the most recent one. And

1839
01:42:51,400 --> 01:42:53,639
Speaker 1: I will go back to right at the start, which

1840
01:42:53,680 --> 01:42:58,759
Speaker 1: actually before the Super Bowl even and I think Matthew

1841
01:42:58,800 --> 01:43:01,519
Speaker 1: Stafford to the Rams is going to be fascinating. I

1842
01:43:01,560 --> 01:43:05,040
Speaker 1: think we saw Sean McVay kind of fall out of

1843
01:43:05,040 --> 01:43:08,920
Speaker 1: love and doubt Jared Goff, and I think what can

1844
01:43:09,360 --> 01:43:14,040
Speaker 1: Sean McVay dial up with that real true gunslinger, which

1845
01:43:14,040 --> 01:43:16,639
Speaker 1: I think is what Matthew Stafford is. I think Matthew

1846
01:43:16,640 --> 01:43:19,960
Speaker 1: Stafford doesn't get nearly the attention he deserves, so I

1847
01:43:20,000 --> 01:43:22,240
Speaker 1: think he can really change the Rams. That one, to

1848
01:43:22,320 --> 01:43:24,680
Speaker 1: me is really exciting. That's a good call. Yeah, And

1849
01:43:24,800 --> 01:43:27,439
Speaker 1: the NFC West is going to be competitive well yeah,

1850
01:43:27,439 --> 01:43:30,559
Speaker 1: and for our list time, Yeah, and for our listeners,

1851
01:43:30,560 --> 01:43:33,360
Speaker 1: we were keeping it to the AFC, but we went

1852
01:43:33,439 --> 01:43:35,320
Speaker 1: league wide with Neil here, so he had a little

1853
01:43:35,320 --> 01:43:36,800
Speaker 1: bit more to choose from and that's why he was

1854
01:43:36,840 --> 01:43:41,160
Speaker 1: able to pick Stafford with the Rams. We also talked

1855
01:43:41,160 --> 01:43:45,439
Speaker 1: about Carson Wentz. We know there's some doubt as to

1856
01:43:45,479 --> 01:43:48,160
Speaker 1: whether he can recapture the magic that almost made him

1857
01:43:48,200 --> 01:43:51,760
Speaker 1: an MVP just four years ago as his team went

1858
01:43:51,800 --> 01:43:55,240
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. But what do you what do

1859
01:43:55,320 --> 01:43:58,280
Speaker 1: you think about his chances of recapturing the magic so

1860
01:43:58,400 --> 01:44:01,000
Speaker 1: to speak with his former OC and Frank Reich in India.

1861
01:44:02,600 --> 01:44:04,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the best landing spot. I think it's

1862
01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:08,160
Speaker 1: absolutely the best landing spot for Wentz. The Lion is

1863
01:44:08,800 --> 01:44:10,599
Speaker 1: a world away from what he had to go through

1864
01:44:10,680 --> 01:44:14,320
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia the last couple of years. But you know,

1865
01:44:14,400 --> 01:44:17,640
Speaker 1: not everything was on that offensive line. You know, some

1866
01:44:17,680 --> 01:44:20,599
Speaker 1: of it was on Carson Wentz as well. Yes, it's

1867
01:44:20,600 --> 01:44:22,760
Speaker 1: a great situation to be with Frank Reich. It's a

1868
01:44:22,800 --> 01:44:26,639
Speaker 1: great offensive line, it's a good running game. I just

1869
01:44:27,439 --> 01:44:30,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I was writing my season Preview magazine a

1870
01:44:30,160 --> 01:44:32,639
Speaker 1: couple of days ago, and I did the Indiana Plis Colts,

1871
01:44:32,640 --> 01:44:35,080
Speaker 1: and I think he was one of the worst quarterbacks

1872
01:44:35,120 --> 01:44:38,320
Speaker 1: in the NFL statistically last year. Thrown from a clean pocket.

1873
01:44:38,560 --> 01:44:42,040
Speaker 1: That's going to worry me. So I think everything's there.

1874
01:44:42,080 --> 01:44:45,440
Speaker 1: We all saw what was there in twenty seventeen pre injury,

1875
01:44:45,760 --> 01:44:48,200
Speaker 1: even late in two and nineteen when he kind of

1876
01:44:48,240 --> 01:44:51,200
Speaker 1: carried that team to the playoffs. So there've been flashes

1877
01:44:51,360 --> 01:44:54,680
Speaker 1: and it's a good situation. It's one of those now

1878
01:44:54,720 --> 01:44:56,600
Speaker 1: for me where you just got shown me, you know,

1879
01:44:56,720 --> 01:44:59,960
Speaker 1: and I think showed the league, and so I'm hopeful,

1880
01:45:00,439 --> 01:45:03,519
Speaker 1: but I'm not convinced. Yeah, And that's I think you

1881
01:45:03,720 --> 01:45:06,040
Speaker 1: echo a lot of stain. There's just too many question

1882
01:45:06,080 --> 01:45:09,160
Speaker 1: marks for people to jump on board with Carson Wentz

1883
01:45:09,200 --> 01:45:12,160
Speaker 1: being a savior of a team. I think the thing

1884
01:45:12,200 --> 01:45:15,760
Speaker 1: that intrigues me about the Carson Wentz situation in Indianapolis

1885
01:45:15,880 --> 01:45:19,160
Speaker 1: is that Indianapolis has a fully formed roster and it

1886
01:45:19,200 --> 01:45:23,240
Speaker 1: won't be as though Carson Wentz has to be I'm

1887
01:45:23,240 --> 01:45:25,600
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes for the Chiefs and carry the team, or

1888
01:45:25,920 --> 01:45:30,080
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson for the Seahawks and carry the team. He

1889
01:45:30,120 --> 01:45:33,200
Speaker 1: can find his legs before they really depend on him

1890
01:45:33,200 --> 01:45:35,200
Speaker 1: to do anything special because of the quality of the

1891
01:45:35,200 --> 01:45:38,840
Speaker 1: players around him and their defense. Yeah, I think that's

1892
01:45:38,920 --> 01:45:41,280
Speaker 1: I think that's absolutely sure. The defense makes the difference,

1893
01:45:41,320 --> 01:45:44,479
Speaker 1: doesn't it. And I think when we look at what

1894
01:45:44,520 --> 01:45:46,280
Speaker 1: he was working with at the back end of two

1895
01:45:46,320 --> 01:45:49,719
Speaker 1: thousand and nineteen, you know, there were most of those

1896
01:45:49,760 --> 01:45:53,360
Speaker 1: guys were coming off the practice squad, so it's you know,

1897
01:45:53,400 --> 01:45:56,599
Speaker 1: of course the talent level is going to help, but yeah,

1898
01:45:56,600 --> 01:45:58,320
Speaker 1: I wrote this is what he kind of comes in

1899
01:45:59,479 --> 01:46:02,560
Speaker 1: with some damage. It's a little bit shell shocked, is

1900
01:46:02,560 --> 01:46:04,920
Speaker 1: a little bit tarnished, and we're all kind of just

1901
01:46:04,960 --> 01:46:08,320
Speaker 1: sitting back and waiting to be convinced. And he must

1902
01:46:08,320 --> 01:46:10,120
Speaker 1: be aware of that. You know, he knows what life

1903
01:46:10,160 --> 01:46:13,400
Speaker 1: in the in the league is like for a quarterback.

1904
01:46:13,520 --> 01:46:16,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's a it's a big test for him

1905
01:46:16,240 --> 01:46:19,439
Speaker 1: because and pressure as well, because really, if you look

1906
01:46:19,439 --> 01:46:21,519
Speaker 1: at it, it's a team that's ready, you know. I

1907
01:46:21,880 --> 01:46:25,720
Speaker 1: know from talking to a couple of people that were

1908
01:46:26,040 --> 01:46:28,120
Speaker 1: close to the Bills, they said that Colts gave the

1909
01:46:28,160 --> 01:46:29,559
Speaker 1: Bills all they could handle. It were one of the

1910
01:46:29,560 --> 01:46:31,960
Speaker 1: toughest teams the Bill's face last year when they met

1911
01:46:31,960 --> 01:46:34,840
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. So this colts teams not far away. Yeah,

1912
01:46:34,960 --> 01:46:37,360
Speaker 1: they have a very complete roster. So yes, if wins

1913
01:46:37,360 --> 01:46:39,760
Speaker 1: can catch fire, they could be onto something. We know

1914
01:46:39,880 --> 01:46:43,400
Speaker 1: that the International Series returns, so you'll get to watch

1915
01:46:43,680 --> 01:46:47,880
Speaker 1: some games up closing personnel at Tottenham Stadium in October

1916
01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:51,080
Speaker 1: this year. But I'm sure you saw the Associated Press

1917
01:46:51,160 --> 01:46:54,759
Speaker 1: report that just came out today about the NFL wanting

1918
01:46:54,800 --> 01:46:59,280
Speaker 1: to hold games in Germany and they are launching the process.

1919
01:47:00,000 --> 01:47:04,720
Speaker 1: Who identify a partner city? Now, Steve and I are

1920
01:47:04,800 --> 01:47:06,439
Speaker 1: old enough and I'm sure you are a neil to

1921
01:47:06,560 --> 01:47:11,280
Speaker 1: remember the days of NFL Europe when Germany had two

1922
01:47:11,320 --> 01:47:14,439
Speaker 1: teams in Frankfort and Berlin. Would you put those two

1923
01:47:14,520 --> 01:47:17,680
Speaker 1: cities as the front runners or do you think there

1924
01:47:17,680 --> 01:47:23,439
Speaker 1: are other strong contenders in Germany. I think there's a few.

1925
01:47:23,560 --> 01:47:29,559
Speaker 1: I think when you look at Frankfurt, dustled Off, Munich, Berlin. Yeah,

1926
01:47:29,600 --> 01:47:31,599
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a very competitive process.

1927
01:47:31,640 --> 01:47:34,040
Speaker 1: And NFL Europe was very popular in Germany. It was

1928
01:47:34,439 --> 01:47:36,679
Speaker 1: for me some of the best nights I ever had

1929
01:47:36,760 --> 01:47:39,240
Speaker 1: covering this sport. Well, guy used to go to a

1930
01:47:39,240 --> 01:47:41,679
Speaker 1: game every weekend when I was working for NFL UK

1931
01:47:42,040 --> 01:47:44,240
Speaker 1: and working for NFL Europe, so I'd fly on a

1932
01:47:44,280 --> 01:47:46,799
Speaker 1: Saturday morning, watch a game, fly back on a Sunday.

1933
01:47:47,400 --> 01:47:50,840
Speaker 1: It's fantastic. The fans deserve it, they deserve a game,

1934
01:47:50,880 --> 01:47:52,840
Speaker 1: and I don't think it's going to take away from

1935
01:47:53,400 --> 01:47:55,360
Speaker 1: what we have in London. I don't think it should

1936
01:47:55,360 --> 01:47:59,840
Speaker 1: scare any British fans at all. It will be when

1937
01:47:59,840 --> 01:48:04,040
Speaker 1: it happens in Germany. One heck of a party, one

1938
01:48:04,400 --> 01:48:07,280
Speaker 1: giant kind of step for the NFL internationally, and just

1939
01:48:07,880 --> 01:48:09,960
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like our games in the UK

1940
01:48:10,040 --> 01:48:12,519
Speaker 1: are safe and I almost wonder and this is just

1941
01:48:12,640 --> 01:48:15,360
Speaker 1: me playing fantasy football. I don't control the budgets. I

1942
01:48:15,400 --> 01:48:19,400
Speaker 1: wonder if we'll ever see the the international games becoming

1943
01:48:19,479 --> 01:48:23,639
Speaker 1: like Formula one. Yeah, we're in Brazil, then we're in France,

1944
01:48:23,920 --> 01:48:26,640
Speaker 1: We're in Germany. There's two games in London. You know,

1945
01:48:26,680 --> 01:48:28,400
Speaker 1: I think I think it's going to be great to

1946
01:48:28,479 --> 01:48:32,080
Speaker 1: just keep expanding the game. I don't know which city

1947
01:48:32,080 --> 01:48:33,680
Speaker 1: will be favorite, but I know there'll be a lot

1948
01:48:33,760 --> 01:48:36,360
Speaker 1: of cities in the mix. In Germany because they have

1949
01:48:36,360 --> 01:48:39,200
Speaker 1: a really passionate fan base and the numbers when you

1950
01:48:39,200 --> 01:48:42,120
Speaker 1: look at all the kind of metrics and TV viewing figures,

1951
01:48:42,200 --> 01:48:45,200
Speaker 1: fans support. It's all right there, the same as the UK,

1952
01:48:45,360 --> 01:48:47,559
Speaker 1: so you know it's going to take off in Germany

1953
01:48:47,560 --> 01:48:49,479
Speaker 1: as soon as they get this game. How much do

1954
01:48:49,520 --> 01:48:54,240
Speaker 1: you think stadiums play a role in deciding the partners city? Obviously,

1955
01:48:54,280 --> 01:48:57,000
Speaker 1: these cities are all going to send in their RFPs

1956
01:48:58,400 --> 01:49:00,719
Speaker 1: and as we understand it beats on the AP report.

1957
01:49:00,760 --> 01:49:05,320
Speaker 1: The NFL hired London based the sports consultancy to to

1958
01:49:05,920 --> 01:49:10,320
Speaker 1: you know, handle the requests for proposals. I'm wondering how

1959
01:49:10,360 --> 01:49:13,240
Speaker 1: much the stadium part of it is a factor in that,

1960
01:49:13,439 --> 01:49:20,040
Speaker 1: you know, stadium accessibility and conformability to the NFL game. Yeah,

1961
01:49:20,680 --> 01:49:22,280
Speaker 1: I mean there are only a few, they're only handful

1962
01:49:22,320 --> 01:49:25,400
Speaker 1: of stadium in the UK that can actually fit the

1963
01:49:25,479 --> 01:49:28,880
Speaker 1: full length field and the end zones. So that's it's

1964
01:49:28,880 --> 01:49:31,840
Speaker 1: the length of the field that's the issue. Absolutely, it's

1965
01:49:31,840 --> 01:49:34,639
Speaker 1: going to play a part the NFL. See what they've

1966
01:49:34,680 --> 01:49:37,679
Speaker 1: got now with Wembley Stadium and to a greater extent,

1967
01:49:37,840 --> 01:49:43,120
Speaker 1: Tottenham hotspurst Stadium, a Premier League team purpose built an

1968
01:49:43,200 --> 01:49:47,080
Speaker 1: NFL stadium to get these games and it's beautiful, it's amazing.

1969
01:49:47,120 --> 01:49:52,240
Speaker 1: Tottenham hotspurst Stadium. So these you guys know you're right there, Steve,

1970
01:49:52,320 --> 01:49:54,800
Speaker 1: You'll know you've played. You're creature of habit. You want

1971
01:49:54,840 --> 01:49:58,679
Speaker 1: to know everything's there for you. Coaches are anal about

1972
01:49:59,200 --> 01:50:04,680
Speaker 1: what they have for their players, So stadiums, infrastructure, logistics,

1973
01:50:05,520 --> 01:50:08,519
Speaker 1: they're they're everything. They're everything to forget to get in

1974
01:50:08,560 --> 01:50:11,240
Speaker 1: these games. Now. Obviously fan growth is a huge part

1975
01:50:11,240 --> 01:50:13,280
Speaker 1: of it, but you're not going to get teams over

1976
01:50:13,320 --> 01:50:17,040
Speaker 1: unless they're really happy with where they're playing when they

1977
01:50:17,080 --> 01:50:19,680
Speaker 1: come overseas, and they're happy with the practice facilities all

1978
01:50:19,680 --> 01:50:21,880
Speaker 1: of that. So it will be a major major factor.

1979
01:50:22,439 --> 01:50:24,920
Speaker 1: One of the things that you've been familiar with the

1980
01:50:25,439 --> 01:50:28,519
Speaker 1: pathways player for European players to come to Buffalo, and

1981
01:50:28,520 --> 01:50:32,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo now has two, not only Christian Wade, who's still

1982
01:50:32,360 --> 01:50:34,320
Speaker 1: waiting on the practice squad perhaps to get a chance

1983
01:50:34,320 --> 01:50:37,400
Speaker 1: to play for the Bills, and also fa Obada, who

1984
01:50:37,560 --> 01:50:41,400
Speaker 1: is now a free agent acquisition by Buffalo. That's got

1985
01:50:41,400 --> 01:50:43,040
Speaker 1: to kind of warm your heart to see both of

1986
01:50:43,080 --> 01:50:46,479
Speaker 1: those guys. As you said, they've been in touch with

1987
01:50:46,520 --> 01:50:49,639
Speaker 1: your son George about coming down from Ottawa to see

1988
01:50:49,680 --> 01:50:51,559
Speaker 1: a game. It's got to be kind of a give

1989
01:50:51,600 --> 01:50:55,200
Speaker 1: you a warm feeling about European players having a place

1990
01:50:55,280 --> 01:50:59,280
Speaker 1: particularly here in Buffalo. Yeah, I love it, and you know,

1991
01:50:59,320 --> 01:51:01,280
Speaker 1: I'll be rooting for the Bills every time they step

1992
01:51:01,360 --> 01:51:04,160
Speaker 1: on the field. Those two guys, and you know, it's

1993
01:51:04,200 --> 01:51:07,040
Speaker 1: just tremendous. They came in different ways. That's what's so

1994
01:51:07,120 --> 01:51:10,559
Speaker 1: interesting to me. You can have, you know, hopefully someone

1995
01:51:10,680 --> 01:51:12,960
Speaker 1: like George or other kids that come through the NFL

1996
01:51:13,000 --> 01:51:17,759
Speaker 1: academy going the college route into the NFL or into

1997
01:51:18,000 --> 01:51:22,519
Speaker 1: professional football. You've got Christian Wade, who came from another sport,

1998
01:51:22,920 --> 01:51:26,360
Speaker 1: so he was a professional athlete in another sport, gave

1999
01:51:26,439 --> 01:51:30,000
Speaker 1: up a lucrative career in rugby to try his hand

2000
01:51:30,040 --> 01:51:34,520
Speaker 1: at NFL. And you've got fa who played five games

2001
01:51:34,520 --> 01:51:37,040
Speaker 1: of amateur football. And trust me, fellas it is like

2002
01:51:38,439 --> 01:51:41,960
Speaker 1: park football. It was. It's amateur as amateur can be.

2003
01:51:43,040 --> 01:51:46,880
Speaker 1: And he played five games of American football before being

2004
01:51:46,920 --> 01:51:49,160
Speaker 1: spotted by the Dallas Cowboys. And then he's been on

2005
01:51:49,200 --> 01:51:53,800
Speaker 1: this journey. So I think, because both of them have

2006
01:51:53,920 --> 01:51:56,479
Speaker 1: been around it for a little while now all we shouldn't,

2007
01:51:56,479 --> 01:51:58,800
Speaker 1: but we do get. Oh, we know Christian Wade's on

2008
01:51:58,840 --> 01:52:02,480
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. We know in the NFL. It's amazing

2009
01:52:02,760 --> 01:52:05,479
Speaker 1: that these guys are in the NFL considering what they've done.

2010
01:52:05,479 --> 01:52:08,120
Speaker 1: And I think Fe is going to be I think

2011
01:52:08,120 --> 01:52:11,240
Speaker 1: he's going to be really successful. He's made a lot

2012
01:52:11,240 --> 01:52:13,479
Speaker 1: of plays for Carolina last year. You know, he sacked

2013
01:52:13,880 --> 01:52:15,760
Speaker 1: some of the quarterbacks he sacked. If you guys have

2014
01:52:15,840 --> 01:52:17,280
Speaker 1: got a chance to speak to him yet, but you know,

2015
01:52:17,320 --> 01:52:21,040
Speaker 1: he sacked, he sacked Tom Brady, sacked Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan.

2016
01:52:21,120 --> 01:52:23,200
Speaker 1: You know, it was a who's who of quarterbacks last

2017
01:52:23,280 --> 01:52:25,760
Speaker 1: year for Fe. He can play along the line as well.

2018
01:52:25,760 --> 01:52:29,799
Speaker 1: It's really exciting. I'm going to use a direct quote

2019
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:34,479
Speaker 1: from you concerning the Bills. Quote, I fancy the Bills

2020
01:52:34,479 --> 01:52:37,400
Speaker 1: to Tapple Casey and the AFC and they could win

2021
01:52:37,479 --> 01:52:41,519
Speaker 1: the whole darn thing. End quote. Why are you so

2022
01:52:41,680 --> 01:52:46,080
Speaker 1: bullish on the Bills finally tappling the Chiefs? Yeah, that

2023
01:52:46,320 --> 01:52:49,280
Speaker 1: is that's from my season preview magazine, the Gridiron Annual,

2024
01:52:49,320 --> 01:52:52,880
Speaker 1: which comes out in July. That the Bills led by

2025
01:52:52,960 --> 01:52:58,200
Speaker 1: nine last year in Arrowhead. This is a franchise quarterback league,

2026
01:52:58,560 --> 01:53:01,559
Speaker 1: and the Buffalo Bills of one of the very best

2027
01:53:01,600 --> 01:53:04,160
Speaker 1: in Josh Allen. They have a defense which I think

2028
01:53:05,120 --> 01:53:07,679
Speaker 1: on it. You know, again, maybe the numbers are misleading

2029
01:53:07,720 --> 01:53:09,439
Speaker 1: when you look at the stats from last year, but

2030
01:53:09,960 --> 01:53:11,880
Speaker 1: look at what they did to Baltimore in the playoffs.

2031
01:53:11,920 --> 01:53:16,040
Speaker 1: It's an elite defense. There's everything you want in the

2032
01:53:16,080 --> 01:53:18,600
Speaker 1: passing game, you know. Do you want Stephan Diggs, do

2033
01:53:18,600 --> 01:53:23,200
Speaker 1: you want Cole Beasley, Gabriel Davis, Isaiah McKenzie, all the

2034
01:53:23,240 --> 01:53:26,280
Speaker 1: different ways he can be used. And on comes Emmanuel

2035
01:53:26,280 --> 01:53:30,120
Speaker 1: Sanders as well. So I think it's a very very

2036
01:53:30,960 --> 01:53:35,040
Speaker 1: exciting team, a very complete team. Maybe Kansas City, it's

2037
01:53:35,080 --> 01:53:37,400
Speaker 1: hard to say. With Patrick Mahomes, maybe they take a

2038
01:53:38,240 --> 01:53:41,040
Speaker 1: little step back. I mean, let's see, we don't know there.

2039
01:53:41,080 --> 01:53:42,880
Speaker 1: But you know, Bills are gonna be writing the mix

2040
01:53:42,880 --> 01:53:44,920
Speaker 1: and I really do fancy them to win it all

2041
01:53:44,960 --> 01:53:49,120
Speaker 1: this year. And I apologize in advance because I'm terrible predictions.

2042
01:53:49,800 --> 01:53:53,599
Speaker 1: So I apologize. That's all I can say. Don't take

2043
01:53:53,640 --> 01:53:58,400
Speaker 1: away from all that, all that bravado and confidence. You

2044
01:53:58,479 --> 01:54:00,760
Speaker 1: just suck the air out of the room there, and Neil,

2045
01:54:00,840 --> 01:54:04,599
Speaker 1: why don't do that? Which are the AFC other AFCUS teams,

2046
01:54:04,800 --> 01:54:07,240
Speaker 1: the Patriots, the Dolphins, the Jets. Which one of those

2047
01:54:07,280 --> 01:54:11,639
Speaker 1: teams made the most improvement and will be say second place,

2048
01:54:11,760 --> 01:54:13,880
Speaker 1: if the Bills win it, who's going to get second place?

2049
01:54:14,840 --> 01:54:16,920
Speaker 1: And why? I actually think it's the Dolphins, and the

2050
01:54:16,920 --> 01:54:20,760
Speaker 1: Dolphins have gone reverse Miami Dolphins. So the Dolphins used

2051
01:54:20,800 --> 01:54:24,439
Speaker 1: to make a big splash in free agency, almost out

2052
01:54:24,439 --> 01:54:27,519
Speaker 1: of desperation, and then it didn't pan out. The Dolphins

2053
01:54:27,520 --> 01:54:29,400
Speaker 1: were very quiet in free agency and had a very

2054
01:54:29,439 --> 01:54:33,880
Speaker 1: good draft. The New England Patriots, who are normally very

2055
01:54:34,360 --> 01:54:37,080
Speaker 1: quiet in free agency's spent record amounts of money, and

2056
01:54:37,080 --> 01:54:40,240
Speaker 1: I don't think it always equates to winning games, winning

2057
01:54:40,240 --> 01:54:42,080
Speaker 1: the offices, and so I'd say it's the Dolphins. I

2058
01:54:42,120 --> 01:54:45,840
Speaker 1: think the Dolphins are building a really good roster. They

2059
01:54:45,840 --> 01:54:49,120
Speaker 1: had a really good draft. My concern there is eye

2060
01:54:49,200 --> 01:54:51,160
Speaker 1: is still until it is in the same boat as

2061
01:54:51,160 --> 01:54:55,320
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. You need tour to show it because you

2062
01:54:55,360 --> 01:54:57,840
Speaker 1: know twice he was benched for fits last year. Now

2063
01:54:57,880 --> 01:54:59,920
Speaker 1: he's not got fits to ride to the rescue. That

2064
01:55:00,040 --> 01:55:03,440
Speaker 1: might be good for him. Actually, So I think two

2065
01:55:03,600 --> 01:55:07,400
Speaker 1: is going to grow because because they'll have better weapons

2066
01:55:07,400 --> 01:55:09,840
Speaker 1: around him. They've they've looked at speed. You know, you've

2067
01:55:09,840 --> 01:55:12,840
Speaker 1: got Will Fuller coming over, You've got Jalen Waddle through

2068
01:55:12,880 --> 01:55:18,200
Speaker 1: the draft. So we're gonna know from tour how much

2069
01:55:18,240 --> 01:55:20,120
Speaker 1: better he can be and whether he can be that

2070
01:55:20,200 --> 01:55:24,240
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback that they've been searching for. Frankly since Dan Marino.

2071
01:55:24,520 --> 01:55:26,760
Speaker 1: You know, there were flashes of it, but he wasn't

2072
01:55:26,800 --> 01:55:30,080
Speaker 1: really working with great weapons. So I think Miami are

2073
01:55:30,160 --> 01:55:33,400
Speaker 1: going to present a challenge. But I think this is

2074
01:55:33,440 --> 01:55:35,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo's division to lose. I think the Bills really are

2075
01:55:36,080 --> 01:55:38,240
Speaker 1: class team. The last one for me, Neil, because Steve

2076
01:55:38,280 --> 01:55:41,600
Speaker 1: and I were discussing this. The Bills don't play the

2077
01:55:41,640 --> 01:55:45,960
Speaker 1: Patriots until about week fourteen or fifteen thirteen, Sorry, not

2078
01:55:46,080 --> 01:55:48,160
Speaker 1: till December, as you know, since that's the game you'll

2079
01:55:48,160 --> 01:55:52,240
Speaker 1: be coming up for. I'm wondering, I'm almost guaranteeing by

2080
01:55:52,240 --> 01:55:55,040
Speaker 1: their point in time, we're going to see Mac Jones

2081
01:55:55,120 --> 01:55:58,080
Speaker 1: on the field. When do you think he takes over

2082
01:55:58,120 --> 01:56:00,960
Speaker 1: for Cam Newton, who looks like his best days are

2083
01:56:01,040 --> 01:56:05,720
Speaker 1: behind him. Yeah, I think I think Bill Belichick really

2084
01:56:05,760 --> 01:56:07,680
Speaker 1: likes Cam Newton, and so Cam's going to have a

2085
01:56:07,760 --> 01:56:11,040
Speaker 1: chance to win that job. But you know, I think

2086
01:56:11,720 --> 01:56:14,120
Speaker 1: week four, week five, if it is Cam at all,

2087
01:56:14,160 --> 01:56:16,560
Speaker 1: if it's if Cam gets to start, I think we'll

2088
01:56:17,160 --> 01:56:20,560
Speaker 1: we'll see that the best is behind him, and I

2089
01:56:20,560 --> 01:56:23,120
Speaker 1: think there'll be a pressure to bring mac Jones on board,

2090
01:56:23,240 --> 01:56:27,040
Speaker 1: especially given everything that they've invested in the offensive side

2091
01:56:27,040 --> 01:56:29,440
Speaker 1: of the ball. So look, it could be mac Jones

2092
01:56:29,480 --> 01:56:32,960
Speaker 1: from week one. They often. We're seeing this with the

2093
01:56:33,040 --> 01:56:35,840
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. They're saying Andy Dalton's a starter in week one,

2094
01:56:35,880 --> 01:56:38,839
Speaker 1: but if Justin Fields has a strong training camp, he's starting.

2095
01:56:38,840 --> 01:56:42,200
Speaker 1: It'll be the same with mac Jones. I think it'd

2096
01:56:42,200 --> 01:56:44,120
Speaker 1: be very interesting to see how quickly they go to

2097
01:56:44,200 --> 01:56:46,960
Speaker 1: him because they like Cam. But you know, I think

2098
01:56:47,080 --> 01:56:51,520
Speaker 1: Cam's Cam Newton's thing. Last year, well, there wasn't any

2099
01:56:51,520 --> 01:56:53,560
Speaker 1: weapons around him, and that's true. I've just said exactly

2100
01:56:53,560 --> 01:56:56,760
Speaker 1: the same excuse for for two, a tongovar lower. But

2101
01:56:57,320 --> 01:56:59,839
Speaker 1: I also saw a lot of passes where Cam skipped

2102
01:56:59,880 --> 01:57:02,080
Speaker 1: it into the dirt when it was five or six

2103
01:57:02,120 --> 01:57:05,760
Speaker 1: yards in front of a receiver. So they've invested in

2104
01:57:05,800 --> 01:57:09,040
Speaker 1: the first round quarterback for a reason. I think we'll

2105
01:57:09,040 --> 01:57:11,920
Speaker 1: see mac Jones by week four or five, if not sooner.

2106
01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:14,360
Speaker 1: I would not be surprised if he isn't the opening

2107
01:57:14,440 --> 01:57:19,120
Speaker 1: day starter. But again, this is why I put Buffalo

2108
01:57:19,280 --> 01:57:22,400
Speaker 1: such a strong favorite in the AFC East. We don't

2109
01:57:22,440 --> 01:57:24,520
Speaker 1: know what Mac Jones will be yet. We don't know

2110
01:57:24,600 --> 01:57:26,760
Speaker 1: what Tour will grow to be. We need to wait

2111
01:57:26,800 --> 01:57:29,520
Speaker 1: and see. With Zach Wilson and more around him. We

2112
01:57:29,600 --> 01:57:32,680
Speaker 1: know what the Buffalo Bills have. They have an genuine

2113
01:57:32,840 --> 01:57:37,120
Speaker 1: MVP talent in Josh Allen. So I know there's been

2114
01:57:37,760 --> 01:57:40,880
Speaker 1: years of Patriots domination in the AFC East. So everyone's

2115
01:57:40,920 --> 01:57:44,920
Speaker 1: kind of spookily looking over their shoulder at the new

2116
01:57:44,920 --> 01:57:48,800
Speaker 1: England Patriots, this winning machine. But you know, it's about

2117
01:57:48,840 --> 01:57:50,760
Speaker 1: what roster you've got now. It's about what players you've

2118
01:57:50,800 --> 01:57:53,640
Speaker 1: got now, and I think the Bills are the strongest. Neil,

2119
01:57:53,720 --> 01:57:55,800
Speaker 1: thanks so much, it's great seeing you again. Thanks for

2120

01:57:59,600 --> 01:58:02,760
Speaker 1: good for White because I've lost about eighteen pounds. Yeah,

2122
01:58:02,800 --> 01:58:05,120
Speaker 1: I can't believe you didn't leave your can't believe it

2123
01:58:05,120 --> 01:58:07,200
Speaker 1: didn't run your leave your car running, or at least

2126
01:58:12,840 --> 01:58:15,600

Speaker 1: jay Z and with that Bentley that they got him

2128
01:58:18,200 --> 01:58:20,720
Speaker 1: for his eightieth birthday. They couldn't get it in the States.

2129
01:58:20,760 --> 01:58:22,720
Speaker 1: We heard you grease the wheels on that. So a

2130
01:58:22,760 --> 01:58:25,840
Speaker 1: good job on you for getting him as Bentley. I'm

2131
01:58:25,840 --> 01:58:29,320
Speaker 1: a man of many talents, and take care, Neil. Put

2132
01:58:29,320 --> 01:58:32,440
Speaker 1: the ac on. Uh man, I'm sitting in my car

2133
01:58:32,480 --> 01:58:35,840
Speaker 1: for twenty minutes in eighty two degree heat. I mean

2134
01:58:36,320 --> 01:58:39,000
Speaker 1: especially for us guys with no hair. I mean you

2135
01:58:39,160 --> 01:58:42,560
Speaker 1: beat up fast. Yeah, you like a glass of cold water.

2136
01:58:42,840 --> 01:58:46,640
Speaker 1: Yeah it's uh yeah, and with eighty percent humidity, it's yeah,

2137
01:58:46,720 --> 01:58:50,200
Speaker 1: it heats up quick. But he poor man sitting there

2138
01:58:50,200 --> 01:58:52,240
Speaker 1: wiping his bro put the AC on, man, what are

2139
01:58:52,240 --> 01:58:55,560
Speaker 1: you doing? Thanks Neil for coming on. Lots of good stuff.

2140
01:58:55,600 --> 01:58:57,960
Speaker 1: Wish his son George all the best as well. Gonna

2141
01:58:57,960 --> 01:59:00,680
Speaker 1: be an Ottawa gig. That's a cool story man, and

2142
01:59:00,800 --> 01:59:04,000
Speaker 1: Ottawa Gee, that's so cool. He went to the Academy.

2143
01:59:04,040 --> 01:59:07,120
Speaker 1: He went as a young kid to a camp. Andrew

2144
01:59:07,200 --> 01:59:09,360
Speaker 1: Luck was there. Because Andrew Luck was I think he

2145
01:59:09,440 --> 01:59:12,839
Speaker 1: was born in Germany when his dad, Oliver was the

2146
01:59:12,840 --> 01:59:15,920
Speaker 1: the commissioner of NFL Europe. Yeah, so he has a

2147
01:59:16,120 --> 01:59:18,560
Speaker 1: you know, he has some kind of kids more comfortable

2148
01:59:18,560 --> 01:59:22,440
Speaker 1: in Europe than he went over there. And George Reynolds

2149
01:59:22,920 --> 01:59:26,120
Speaker 1: was too young to be in the camp. So Andrew said,

2150
01:59:26,160 --> 01:59:27,920
Speaker 1: you can be the ball boy. So they hung out

2151
01:59:28,200 --> 01:59:30,920
Speaker 1: all week, all week, and so they became friends and

2152
01:59:31,120 --> 01:59:33,720
Speaker 1: he got hooked on football, got American football, and now

2153
01:59:33,720 --> 01:59:38,640
Speaker 1: he's now he's playing collegiately. Yeah, it's pretty cool and

2154
01:59:38,720 --> 01:59:40,360
Speaker 1: the funny thing. And we didn't teach We should have

2155
01:59:40,400 --> 01:59:42,240
Speaker 1: teased Neil about this. We'll have to do it next

2156
01:59:42,240 --> 01:59:45,120
Speaker 1: time because he's in the video of his son that

2157
01:59:45,240 --> 01:59:48,520
Speaker 1: we saw on YouTube, right, he's running routes for his

2158
01:59:48,600 --> 01:59:51,520
Speaker 1: son on a soccer field, catching passes, and we should

2159
01:59:51,520 --> 01:59:53,920
Speaker 1: have We should have had you critique as route running

2160
01:59:54,080 --> 01:59:56,120
Speaker 1: and he should drop his hips a little bit in

2161
01:59:56,200 --> 01:59:58,120
Speaker 1: the studio. We should have hit him up on that.

2162
01:59:58,280 --> 02:00:02,120
Speaker 1: Dang it. I'll have to do it next We have

2163
02:00:02,200 --> 02:00:04,600
Speaker 1: to take a break here. When we come back, we'll

2164
02:00:04,640 --> 02:00:06,960
Speaker 1: wrap up your comments on the tweet sheet for what

2165
02:00:07,160 --> 02:00:10,400
Speaker 1: AFC offseason move you feel is going to pay off

2166
02:00:10,440 --> 02:00:12,800
Speaker 1: the most and there might even be a little time

2167
02:00:12,840 --> 02:00:15,400
Speaker 1: for some NFL true false. We're back in a moment

2168
02:00:15,400 --> 02:00:17,360
Speaker 1: here on One Bills Live presented by Kellid to Health.

2169
02:00:17,400 --> 02:00:33,160
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back to One Bills Live.

2170
02:00:33,280 --> 02:00:36,080
Speaker 1: Chris Brown Steve Tasker with you final half hour of

2171
02:00:36,160 --> 02:00:41,160
Speaker 1: the show to Go here on a Wednesday, and we

2172
02:00:41,240 --> 02:00:43,640
Speaker 1: wanted to wrap up your comments on the tweet sheet

2173
02:00:43,720 --> 02:00:48,080
Speaker 1: as far as what you thought were the biggest AFC

2174
02:00:48,600 --> 02:00:51,600
Speaker 1: offseason moves that you think are going to pay off

2175
02:00:51,600 --> 02:00:55,320
Speaker 1: the most. And Chris on the tweet sheet says two words.

2176
02:00:56,160 --> 02:01:01,080
Speaker 1: Emmanuel's Sanders with him on our squad. Josh Allen should

2177
02:01:01,080 --> 02:01:04,040
Speaker 1: throw for five thousand plus yards. It's going to be

2178
02:01:04,080 --> 02:01:09,000
Speaker 1: a really great season. Super Bow bound. Let's go Bills,

2179
02:01:09,120 --> 02:01:13,840
Speaker 1: all Caps. I've called it. I've called Josh for five

2180
02:01:13,880 --> 02:01:17,640
Speaker 1: grand this year. There is an extra game. Yeah, so

2181
02:01:17,680 --> 02:01:20,680
Speaker 1: that helps three hundred and ninety two a game, I think, No,

2182
02:01:20,960 --> 02:01:24,240
Speaker 1: for seventeen, two hundred ninety two games, two ninety two

2183
02:01:24,320 --> 02:01:27,160
Speaker 1: passing yards, right, two hundred and ninety two passing yards

2184
02:01:27,160 --> 02:01:28,480
Speaker 1: per game. Let me just make sure I got my

2185
02:01:28,520 --> 02:01:31,240
Speaker 1: little tween ninety two times seventeen. Let me hold on

2186
02:01:31,680 --> 02:01:35,800
Speaker 1: two two ninety two numbers and teen equals. Yeah, it's

2187
02:01:35,800 --> 02:01:40,520
Speaker 1: forty nine sixty four two ninety three. Right. No, I

2188
02:01:40,520 --> 02:01:43,800
Speaker 1: don't even think that gets three sixty four plus seventeen.

2189
02:01:44,200 --> 02:01:46,760
Speaker 1: It's forty nine eighty one. Yeah, you're not gonna get there,

2190
02:01:49,400 --> 02:01:52,960
Speaker 1: all right. Here we go two ninety five times seventeen

2191
02:01:53,040 --> 02:01:56,760
Speaker 1: equals five fifteen fifty, five thousand and fifteen. That's it.

2192
02:01:57,280 --> 02:02:01,440
Speaker 1: So it's two hundred ninety five yards a game on average. Yeah,

2193
02:02:01,560 --> 02:02:06,360
Speaker 1: so it's gonna take some doing. I mean, I think

2194
02:02:06,400 --> 02:02:11,240
Speaker 1: we all have to come to the realization last year's

2195
02:02:11,360 --> 02:02:17,680
Speaker 1: numbers they're not going to be easy to repeat. That's true.

2196
02:02:18,200 --> 02:02:20,760
Speaker 1: That's true. I mean, if we're all being realistic here,

2197
02:02:21,000 --> 02:02:23,040
Speaker 1: I'll say this though, I mean, you do have day

2198
02:02:23,040 --> 02:02:27,120
Speaker 1: bull back that helps you. Sanders probably helps you diversify

2199
02:02:27,160 --> 02:02:29,960
Speaker 1: the offense more than John Brown does, although I don't

2200
02:02:29,960 --> 02:02:33,320
Speaker 1: know that you're gonna get yardage in the same chunks

2201
02:02:33,360 --> 02:02:39,840
Speaker 1: as you did with John Brown. With Sanders, Josh played

2202
02:02:39,880 --> 02:02:43,360
Speaker 1: against ten top ten defenses at the time. He topped

2203
02:02:43,360 --> 02:02:46,920
Speaker 1: ten past defense ten past defenses in the league last year,

2204
02:02:48,200 --> 02:02:59,120
Speaker 1: and he had four touchdown games against like six of them.

2205
02:03:00,120 --> 02:03:02,600
Speaker 1: I can't tell you. I was lucky enough to be

2206
02:03:02,640 --> 02:03:04,720
Speaker 1: the guy the radio analyst for those games, and I

2207
02:03:04,800 --> 02:03:07,360
Speaker 1: certainly the away games were you know, we're away games,

2208
02:03:07,360 --> 02:03:09,560
Speaker 1: and I was watching them on monitors from the stadium,

2209
02:03:09,600 --> 02:03:11,840
Speaker 1: you know, like everybody else wants. We had a special feed.

2210
02:03:11,880 --> 02:03:14,960
Speaker 1: We had different camera angles than the fans saw at home,

2211
02:03:15,560 --> 02:03:18,600
Speaker 1: so we had a little bit extra insight. But the

2212
02:03:18,680 --> 02:03:25,000
Speaker 1: game's here in this building. I was there. They were unbelievable.

2213
02:03:26,000 --> 02:03:31,440
Speaker 1: That offense, they were unbelievable. And that's why i'm I mean,

2214
02:03:31,480 --> 02:03:33,560
Speaker 1: i'm I'll stand by it. I think that guy's got

2215
02:03:33,600 --> 02:03:36,720
Speaker 1: a shot at five thousand. He's got a shot at it.

2216
02:03:37,600 --> 02:03:41,000
Speaker 1: And this is the floor. I've said too, I think

2217
02:03:41,040 --> 02:03:43,879
Speaker 1: the floor of wins on this team is like twelve.

2218
02:03:44,280 --> 02:03:47,160
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna get double digit wins. Yes, I

2219
02:03:47,280 --> 02:03:50,200
Speaker 1: feel good about that. And I think the roof is

2220
02:03:50,240 --> 02:03:54,320
Speaker 1: like fifteen. You know, I don't think you can go

2221
02:03:54,440 --> 02:03:57,920
Speaker 1: seventeen and oz I really I don't think. I don't

2222
02:03:57,960 --> 02:04:01,280
Speaker 1: think that you can go seventeen and ozer this team

2223
02:04:01,280 --> 02:04:03,840
Speaker 1: with thirteen and three though, And I'll tell you at

2224
02:04:03,840 --> 02:04:05,640
Speaker 1: the end of the season last year, I couldn't. There

2225
02:04:05,720 --> 02:04:09,440
Speaker 1: wasn't a team that we had played that season to

2226
02:04:09,560 --> 02:04:12,080
Speaker 1: that point, like the Tennessee Titans or and even the

2227
02:04:12,160 --> 02:04:14,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs at that point that wouldn't have been like, Wow,

2228
02:04:14,440 --> 02:04:17,520
Speaker 1: we gotta got our hands full. We got our hands full. Yeah,

2229
02:04:17,680 --> 02:04:20,320
Speaker 1: And you have to think about this too. I mean,

2230
02:04:20,600 --> 02:04:23,960
Speaker 1: after a week six, they lost one game and it

2231
02:04:24,040 --> 02:04:27,760
Speaker 1: was a Hail Mary. Yeah, that was a nice stretch

2232
02:04:27,800 --> 02:04:33,200
Speaker 1: of football. That was stretch. So it's hard to set

2233
02:04:33,280 --> 02:04:37,120
Speaker 1: expectations knowing that they're in a really competitive league with

2234
02:04:37,160 --> 02:04:40,120
Speaker 1: a lot of really smart and quality people running other

2235
02:04:40,160 --> 02:04:43,680
Speaker 1: teams who've made some really intelligent moves, with some talented

2236
02:04:43,680 --> 02:04:46,480
Speaker 1: players coming into their buildings, and the Bills, you know,

2237
02:04:46,560 --> 02:04:49,160
Speaker 1: come in and you roll in with the expectations, you know,

2238
02:04:49,280 --> 02:04:51,440
Speaker 1: through the roof like they are, and it's a hard

2239
02:04:51,520 --> 02:04:53,640
Speaker 1: league to win in, even if you are the Buffalo

2240
02:04:53,640 --> 02:04:55,520
Speaker 1: Bills and coming off a year like he just had.

2241
02:04:56,000 --> 02:05:01,360
Speaker 1: It's a hard league to win in. Man, where else

2242
02:05:01,360 --> 02:05:04,560
Speaker 1: are you gonna go? You can't expect them to get worse? Yeah, yeah,

2243
02:05:04,600 --> 02:05:06,560
Speaker 1: but you know you don't. You don't know what's going

2244
02:05:06,640 --> 02:05:09,040
Speaker 1: to happen in the course of a season, and you

2245
02:05:09,120 --> 02:05:11,640
Speaker 1: got an extra game this year to play. Injuries all,

2246
02:05:11,720 --> 02:05:13,760
Speaker 1: you take that stuff off the table because nobody can

2247
02:05:13,800 --> 02:05:16,280
Speaker 1: predict anybody's injuries. Maybe everybody else stays healthy and you

2248
02:05:16,280 --> 02:05:18,480
Speaker 1: get all injured or vice versus what happened in the

2249
02:05:18,560 --> 02:05:20,600
Speaker 1: forty nine ers last year. Who knows what all that's

2250
02:05:20,640 --> 02:05:22,360
Speaker 1: going to be but all things being equal and all

2251
02:05:22,400 --> 02:05:28,040
Speaker 1: these teams are healthy, you know, the Bill's expectations are

2252
02:05:27,520 --> 02:05:31,760
Speaker 1: sky and completely out of whack with probably what reality

2253
02:05:31,800 --> 02:05:33,920
Speaker 1: is gonna be. Even if you go out there and

2254
02:05:33,960 --> 02:05:36,280
Speaker 1: win twelve games, you're like, man, you know, it was

2255
02:05:36,320 --> 02:05:40,760
Speaker 1: a tough season, but man, oh man, sitting from this

2256
02:05:40,880 --> 02:05:42,880
Speaker 1: end of the schedule, looking towards through the end of it,

2257
02:05:43,120 --> 02:05:46,320
Speaker 1: knowing the gauntlet that they ran through last year, like

2258
02:05:46,320 --> 02:05:48,400
Speaker 1: like hot knife through butter. Yeah, they like they were

2259
02:05:48,440 --> 02:05:53,800
Speaker 1: like a lawnmower they were. Yeah. So they went four

2260
02:05:53,840 --> 02:05:55,520
Speaker 1: and two and then they went nine and one, and

2261
02:05:55,560 --> 02:05:59,320
Speaker 1: their last expectations can't be anything except higher. I mean,

2262
02:05:59,360 --> 02:06:01,840
Speaker 1: it's just crazy easy. How good they were last year

2263
02:06:01,920 --> 02:06:04,680
Speaker 1: against a schedule that was as tough as anybody's in

2264
02:06:04,680 --> 02:06:10,160
Speaker 1: the league. Yeah. Eric on the tweet sheet says the

2265
02:06:10,240 --> 02:06:13,879
Speaker 1: Chiefs revamping their old line with the signing of Joe Tuoney,

2266
02:06:13,920 --> 02:06:17,360
Speaker 1: trading for Orlando Brown, and getting Kyle Long out of

2267
02:06:17,360 --> 02:06:20,920
Speaker 1: retirement is the offseason move in the AFC that will

2268
02:06:20,960 --> 02:06:23,560
Speaker 1: pay off the most. That's the one I mentioned kind

2269
02:06:23,560 --> 02:06:26,280
Speaker 1: of at the top of the show. I don't even

2270
02:06:26,280 --> 02:06:28,480
Speaker 1: know if Kyle Long is going to start. That's how

2271
02:06:28,520 --> 02:06:30,760
Speaker 1: deep that offensive line is right now. Yeah, and I

2272
02:06:31,280 --> 02:06:35,520
Speaker 1: would say this, everybody's bashing the Kansas Chiefs offensive line.

2273
02:06:35,520 --> 02:06:37,480
Speaker 1: It was pretty good up until they lost both tackles

2274
02:06:37,480 --> 02:06:40,400
Speaker 1: the week before the Super Bowl. That's valid. They also

2275
02:06:40,440 --> 02:06:44,200
Speaker 1: did not have Louren DuVernay tart If last year because

2276
02:06:44,400 --> 02:06:47,360
Speaker 1: he opted out to serve in the medical community because

2277
02:06:47,360 --> 02:06:50,480
Speaker 1: he's a doctor. And he's back as a starting guard.

2278
02:06:50,560 --> 02:06:54,800
Speaker 1: So okay, you know, I don't think it should be

2279
02:06:54,840 --> 02:06:57,400
Speaker 1: dismissed out of hand. I think there is value in that,

2280
02:06:57,480 --> 02:07:00,400
Speaker 1: and quite frankly, Steve, I'm a little disappointed you don't

2281
02:07:00,480 --> 02:07:02,680
Speaker 1: value it more. After all, you're talking about how important

2282
02:07:02,680 --> 02:07:05,240
Speaker 1: it is upfront. They were good up front last year.

2283
02:07:05,360 --> 02:07:08,600
Speaker 1: They don't. But I think the real question is everybody says, wow,

2284
02:07:09,400 --> 02:07:11,920
Speaker 1: because they revamped, their offensive line will be that much better.

2285
02:07:11,920 --> 02:07:13,760
Speaker 1: You know they're gonna be a degree of improvement. Is

2286
02:07:13,800 --> 02:07:17,040
Speaker 1: that great? Like they're off its last Buffalo Bills of

2287
02:07:17,080 --> 02:07:21,160
Speaker 1: twenty and eighteen. Yeah, okay, or two two thousand and eighteen.

2288
02:07:21,200 --> 02:07:23,000
Speaker 1: I get when you're coming from this is this is

2289
02:07:23,680 --> 02:07:26,080
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. They had a really good offensive line

2290
02:07:26,120 --> 02:07:29,600
Speaker 1: last year. I think the question mark might be, wow,

2291
02:07:29,800 --> 02:07:31,840
Speaker 1: they may lose some games early because these guys don't

2292
02:07:31,840 --> 02:07:34,400
Speaker 1: even know who each other are. They don't have any

2293
02:07:34,400 --> 02:07:38,080
Speaker 1: cohesion or you know, continuity on their offensive line. They

2294
02:07:38,120 --> 02:07:40,720
Speaker 1: may be blowing some assignments up front and getting Pat

2295
02:07:40,800 --> 02:07:43,840
Speaker 1: Mahomes crushed more so than you know, playing up to

2296
02:07:43,840 --> 02:07:46,920
Speaker 1: their abilities. Now, Joe Tuney's a great player. And the

2297
02:07:46,960 --> 02:07:50,920
Speaker 1: tackle they got in Brown, Orlando Brown, he can really go.

2298
02:07:52,360 --> 02:07:54,880
Speaker 1: They've got some, no question about it. They've got good

2299
02:07:54,920 --> 02:07:57,400
Speaker 1: players up front, but they're different players. And they had

2300
02:07:57,480 --> 02:07:58,720
Speaker 1: last year when they got all the way to the

2301
02:07:58,720 --> 02:08:01,640
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, and those got that offensive line had as

2302
02:08:01,640 --> 02:08:03,560
Speaker 1: big a role as this offensive line is gonna have

2303
02:08:03,600 --> 02:08:07,840
Speaker 1: in getting them there. Again, this offensive line, as good

2304
02:08:07,840 --> 02:08:10,160
Speaker 1: as it is, isn't gonna cause Andy Reid not to

2305
02:08:10,160 --> 02:08:14,320
Speaker 1: throw it every down, right, So what are you getting

2306
02:08:15,960 --> 02:08:19,320
Speaker 1: a couple of less sacks on the year. Okay, maybe

2307
02:08:20,520 --> 02:08:25,440
Speaker 1: you're not gonna run the ball more. No, so, I

2308
02:08:25,520 --> 02:08:28,080
Speaker 1: they didn't. Their offensive line didn't need it did in

2309
02:08:28,120 --> 02:08:30,960
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Obviously, they lost both tackles before the

2310
02:08:30,960 --> 02:08:32,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So everybody's what now, all of a sudden

2311
02:08:32,680 --> 02:08:37,320
Speaker 1: their offensive line stunk for seventeen weeks. No, they were good.

2312
02:08:38,800 --> 02:08:41,560
Speaker 1: They were good, but you know now they got a

2313
02:08:41,600 --> 02:08:45,959
Speaker 1: bunch of new guys up front, so we'll see James

2314
02:08:46,000 --> 02:08:48,120
Speaker 1: to wrap things up on the tweet sheet, says, I

2315
02:08:48,200 --> 02:08:52,360
Speaker 1: believe that the resigning of Matt Milano and Star coming

2316
02:08:52,360 --> 02:08:54,800
Speaker 1: back will prove to be the biggest moves. I think

2317
02:08:54,800 --> 02:08:58,120
Speaker 1: our defense will be back to being in the top five,

2318
02:08:59,320 --> 02:09:01,800
Speaker 1: also in part because of the young pass rushers. That's

2319
02:09:01,800 --> 02:09:06,360
Speaker 1: an interesting take. Um, the Bills did fall out of

2320
02:09:06,360 --> 02:09:08,600
Speaker 1: the top five for the first time in three years

2321
02:09:08,680 --> 02:09:13,400
Speaker 1: last season. Do they get back there? Do they get

2322
02:09:13,440 --> 02:09:17,680
Speaker 1: back there with what they've done? Yeah? Star really is

2323
02:09:17,720 --> 02:09:24,480
Speaker 1: going to morow. Yeah, we got a good question. It's

2324
02:09:24,520 --> 02:09:28,120
Speaker 1: interesting too. Leslie Frasier didn't go anywhere, and certainly Sean

2325
02:09:28,200 --> 02:09:30,320
Speaker 1: McDermott didn't go anywhere. And you think those guys were

2326
02:09:30,320 --> 02:09:32,400
Speaker 1: happy with the drop off in their production last year.

2327
02:09:32,680 --> 02:09:34,600
Speaker 1: And I'll say this, they know better than May and

2328
02:09:34,680 --> 02:09:39,000
Speaker 1: you and all of us why it happened. I have

2329
02:09:39,040 --> 02:09:41,680
Speaker 1: a hard time thinking it wasn't a precipitous drop off,

2330
02:09:41,680 --> 02:09:44,280
Speaker 1: though it's not like they were awful. No, But I'll

2331
02:09:44,280 --> 02:09:46,920
Speaker 1: say this, those guys watching the film and dissecting it

2332
02:09:46,960 --> 02:09:49,280
Speaker 1: and knowing what the defense was supposed to look like,

2333
02:09:49,320 --> 02:09:52,360
Speaker 1: and why this happened, why that happened. They're gonna know

2334
02:09:52,640 --> 02:09:54,800
Speaker 1: exactly what happened to the defense that dropped it out

2335
02:09:54,840 --> 02:09:57,200
Speaker 1: of the top five. Now, having said that, how much

2336
02:09:57,280 --> 02:10:00,680
Speaker 1: you think they're working on getting it right. Those guys

2337
02:10:00,680 --> 02:10:02,840
Speaker 1: aren't say I was going to say they had all

2338
02:10:02,840 --> 02:10:05,800
Speaker 1: those answers in February. They're already plugging the solutions in

2339
02:10:06,600 --> 02:10:09,240
Speaker 1: to see if they work. They're yeah, they're they're not

2340
02:10:09,280 --> 02:10:11,200
Speaker 1: sitting on their hands thing, and I will just bounce

2341
02:10:11,200 --> 02:10:14,720
Speaker 1: back just because no, they're fixing it. They're going out

2342
02:10:14,720 --> 02:10:16,480
Speaker 1: and fixing it. So I think that's I think that's

2343
02:10:16,520 --> 02:10:19,200
Speaker 1: a really important point to this. This is not a

2344
02:10:19,240 --> 02:10:24,680
Speaker 1: coaching staff at anywhere offense, defense, special teams, secondary, wide receivers,

2345
02:10:24,720 --> 02:10:29,800
Speaker 1: offensive line, linebackers, running backs, tight ends. Nobody is sitting

2346
02:10:29,880 --> 02:10:34,040
Speaker 1: on their hands thinking we got this already. They're they're

2347
02:10:34,080 --> 02:10:36,400
Speaker 1: applying a lot of intelligence and a lot of critical

2348
02:10:36,480 --> 02:10:38,440
Speaker 1: thinking to what they were last year and how they

2349
02:10:38,440 --> 02:10:40,200
Speaker 1: can get better and what it's going to take. So

2350
02:10:40,240 --> 02:10:44,720
Speaker 1: I'm i for the fact the defense took a step

2351
02:10:44,720 --> 02:10:48,400
Speaker 1: backwards hit last year. Statistically, This a coaching staff that's

2352
02:10:48,400 --> 02:10:50,080
Speaker 1: going to do what they can to fix it and

2353
02:10:50,320 --> 02:10:52,280
Speaker 1: they're going to be given assets and with which to

2354
02:10:52,320 --> 02:10:55,800
Speaker 1: do it. So, yeah, that very much could happen. Break

2355
02:10:55,840 --> 02:10:57,960
Speaker 1: time for us here, Steve and I close it up

2356
02:10:58,000 --> 02:11:00,120
Speaker 1: with what have we learned? When we return here on

2357
02:11:00,120 --> 02:11:02,320
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo

2358
02:11:02,320 --> 02:11:20,040
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. What have we learned from today's show? Brought

2359
02:11:20,040 --> 02:11:23,160
Speaker 1: to you by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental company

2360
02:11:23,360 --> 02:11:29,320
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. Learned a few things today. We

2361
02:11:29,480 --> 02:11:31,320
Speaker 1: learned that our good friend Neil Reynolds has a son

2362
02:11:31,360 --> 02:11:33,480
Speaker 1: who's gonna be playing some college football at the University

2363
02:11:33,520 --> 02:11:37,400
Speaker 1: of Ottawa north of the border. Good for him. He

2364
02:11:37,520 --> 02:11:42,480
Speaker 1: also believes that the Bills will topple the Chiefs. That's

2365
02:11:42,520 --> 02:11:44,680
Speaker 1: what he said in his NFL preview. Yeah, and he

2366
02:11:44,760 --> 02:11:47,560
Speaker 1: also made this point to us, and he's got his

2367
02:11:47,640 --> 02:11:51,480
Speaker 1: thumb on this pulse of European fan bases better than

2368
02:11:51,520 --> 02:11:56,440
Speaker 1: we do. But he thinks the NFL would benefit And

2369
02:11:56,600 --> 02:11:58,440
Speaker 1: he's just going to be a toss up because there's

2370
02:11:58,440 --> 02:12:01,200
Speaker 1: a ton of games, which was just announced today that

2371
02:12:01,240 --> 02:12:05,720
Speaker 1: the NFL's thinking about putting games in Germany. Yeah, there's

2372
02:12:05,760 --> 02:12:07,520
Speaker 1: a ton of cities that would love to have an

2373
02:12:07,400 --> 02:12:11,040
Speaker 1: in games hugely popular, and I mentioned Frankfurt and Berlin.

2374
02:12:11,280 --> 02:12:14,960
Speaker 1: I totally forgot about the other teams. Well, there were

2375
02:12:14,960 --> 02:12:19,040
Speaker 1: other teams in NFL Europe. Cologne was a team. Was

2376
02:12:19,160 --> 02:12:22,880
Speaker 1: Cologne Centurions, I think it was in NFL Europe. Hamburg

2377
02:12:23,000 --> 02:12:26,400
Speaker 1: Sea Devils were another team. I think it was after

2378
02:12:26,480 --> 02:12:29,800
Speaker 1: Barcelona fold. Did they moved to Hamburg. There was a

2379
02:12:29,840 --> 02:12:33,400
Speaker 1: time when Germany had five teams in NFL Europe. There

2380
02:12:33,600 --> 02:12:36,560
Speaker 1: it's popular there. He also threw it floated out this

2381
02:12:36,600 --> 02:12:39,000
Speaker 1: and I'll see what you think about this, that the

2382
02:12:39,120 --> 02:12:42,959
Speaker 1: NFL may do games like this worldwide, like in Brazil,

2383
02:12:43,320 --> 02:12:48,600
Speaker 1: in Japan, in wherever, all over the world and broaden

2384
02:12:48,640 --> 02:12:52,960
Speaker 1: instead of adding franchises across the Yeah, the globe send

2385
02:12:52,960 --> 02:12:56,440
Speaker 1: teams to play. What do you think? I just wonder

2386
02:12:56,480 --> 02:12:59,400
Speaker 1: about the wear and tear with the travel, and I

2387
02:12:59,400 --> 02:13:02,120
Speaker 1: think that's going to be a big decision for the NFL,

2388
02:13:02,560 --> 02:13:05,440
Speaker 1: probably fifteen years down the road, where they're going to

2389
02:13:05,560 --> 02:13:10,920
Speaker 1: have to ask themselves is the Formula one plan better,

2390
02:13:11,040 --> 02:13:13,320
Speaker 1: like Neil was suggesting, where you have it as a

2391
02:13:13,360 --> 02:13:17,800
Speaker 1: destination game somewhere in the world, or is it better

2392
02:13:17,840 --> 02:13:24,280
Speaker 1: to just build out an NFL Europe League and then

2393
02:13:24,400 --> 02:13:29,360
Speaker 1: have a World Bowl instead of a Super Bowl. Interesting.

2394
02:13:29,520 --> 02:13:32,320
Speaker 1: I wonder which way they would ultimately go now that

2395
02:13:32,680 --> 02:13:35,640
Speaker 1: acquires a lot of build out. Yeah, we can European side.

2396
02:13:35,640 --> 02:13:38,080
Speaker 1: That's going to take years, decades. We can ask our

2397
02:13:38,120 --> 02:13:39,960
Speaker 1: listeners for a Twitter poll. Is it What do they

2398
02:13:39,960 --> 02:13:41,640
Speaker 1: think the best way to do it is? Is it an?

2399
02:13:42,680 --> 02:13:45,600
Speaker 1: How do you expand the NFL across the globe with

2400
02:13:45,680 --> 02:13:50,800
