Speaker 1: in buff it's usually I mean, we got we hear

17
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: the stories about Buffalo. For those of you who are

18
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: listening around the globe, the Buffalo does have a reputation

19
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: for bad weather, but it's not a frigid, cold kind

20
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: of weather. It's more of a snowy rainy kind of

21
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: weather today. It's bitter cold. Yeah, it's bitter, well, we

22
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: say bitter here. It's probably colder at other places. But man,

23
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: oh man, it's low single digits windchill, windchill negative temperature probably.

24
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: And I was asking around too, let me ask you.

25
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: Let we were asking around. Most of the people here

26
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: in Buffalo kind of weren't planning on doing anything this

27
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: weekend because we we can, you know what I mean.

28
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: We talked about it yesterday. None of our plans till

29
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: after the Super Bowl plans all fell through. So now

30
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: I'm sitting arondy that stakes. I know it's hopefully next year.

31
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 1: That's not the case for the team and for any

32
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: of us who work for the organization. Friday show, so

33
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: that means we've got our mail bag that's open and

34
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: ready for any questions that you have all crossboard. We

35
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: got a chilly question, We've got some football questions. So

36
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: we'll hit some of those throughout the show, and then

37
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: we're going to hear from our good friend Greg Cosell

38
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: at two pm talk some bills, and also talk the NFL,

39
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: because there are some things going around in the NFL.

40
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: Coaches are getting hired coaches are getting interviews and a

41
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: free agency is on the horizon. We had the Pro

42
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: Bowl games that kicked off last night Thursday evening, and

43
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: we talk about this. We talked about it. You know,

44
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: you had to reinvent it. What did it look like

45
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: if we talked about it would be better if you

46
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: did this, It would be better if you did that.

47
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to play the Pro Bowl made and watching,

48
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: approving her professionalism. She watched. I didn't. I enjoyed it.

49
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: I could not watch it. Um, it was entertaining. Yeah,

50
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: they were doing the last night. Well I do it

51
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: a little bit every night. I heard Jordan Poler won

52
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: the long drive three twenty yards yards. Uh, Matt Milano,

53
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: Mitch Morse did pretty good in the in the balloon

54
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: TOSSA Milana was fielding punts out of the jugs machine. Um, dodgeball.

55
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: Dawson was in dodgeball. Great who won the great catch?

56
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: Great catch? It's I think a Twitter vote. So you

57
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: had two AFC guys and two NFC guys do best catch,

58
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: and then you vote for the winner of the AFC

59
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: in the NFC, and then I think they compete for

60
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 1: one more round. Right, So Steph Diggs. You're if you're

61
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: watching on MSG, you're watching the water balloon Toss, which

62
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: that's when I turned turned it on. We were making

63
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: dinner and I was like, can I turn the Pro

64
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: Bowl games on? My husband was still working, um, and

65
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: so I just turned it on side you know what

66
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: else is on TV? Right? So no, I did not

67
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: have that. I wanted to listen to it all because

68
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: how are you going to call this too? That's what

69
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to listen to. ESPN is doing the Lord's

70
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: work there, Laura Rutledge, Marcus Spears, Ryan Clark. They are

71
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: calling water balloon toss, dodgeball, a punt competition, and precision

72
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: passing and they did a great job. It was pretty funny. Um,

73
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: water balloon toss l ol. I don't know. I could

74
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: do maybe without that. But the guys had smiles on

75
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: their faces. They it seemed like they were having a

76
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: good time. Um. I think. Cameron Wolf from NFL Network

77
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: tweeted it out after the games last night. He said,

78
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: I spoke with a lot of players and they said

79
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: they really love this version better than anything else. So

80
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: that's what you want to hear. If the players like it,

81
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: then then the goal has been achieved. So um, it's interesting.

82
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: One of the great moments that came out. Ryan Clark

83
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: was interviewing Derek Carr after he had done this this

84
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: passing thing, and Carr knocked it out of the part.

85
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: He did really well. I mean, he was hitting targets

86
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: and this is what happened after that. Let's just play

87
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: the clip. No fire, Have you ever been that hot

88
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas? Not that hot? Uh, it's probably why

89
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: I'm going somewhere else, why he's going somewhere else. That

90
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: was a great as a great line, and it's that's

91
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: the kind of vibe you want as a player, to

92
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: be able to go out there and just relax and

93
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: you know, have fun with yourself. You know, laugh at yourself,

94
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: laugh at the other guys, have some kicks and giggles,

95
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: and you get moments like that. And Carr was thrown

96
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: They had these, um it's a thing now where they

97
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: have these dummies, these blocking dummies that actually roll around

98
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: and move so quarterbacks can throw at him and stuff.

99
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: And Carr was throwing the ball all over the yard

100
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: and threw it pretty well. Yeah, I think he got

101
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: a good amount of points. I wasn't watching this part.

102
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: I think it turned I turned it on right after.

103
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: But Derek Carr did an interview with Cameron will from

104
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: NFL Network afterward, and he said, I have a no

105
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: trade clause and that there's a date that certain money

106
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: is guaranteed or I'm a free agent. So I'm just

107
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: gonna be honest about the whole thing. There hasn't been

108
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: any conversations with the Raiders GM. My agent and me

109
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: will figure that out, but for me, I'm just being patient.

110
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to do what's best for myself. I'm going

111
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: to do what's best for my family, and I don't

112
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: care what the optics are or anything like that. I

113
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: can pick this or do that. It's kind of fun

114
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 1: to be able to do whatever you want for once.

115
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens with Derek Carr if he's

116
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 1: going to be traded or become a free agent. A

117
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: lot of money there on the chopping block with that

118
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: February fifteenth trigger date on the contract, forty million guarantee

119
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: would kick in. Whoa, WHOA baby, And let me tell

120
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: you something, it's real. I mean they may withhold. I

121
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: don't want you with hold out of forty mill. But

122
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: in eight more than fifty percent of it. Yeah, I

123
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: mean you're gonna get a check for like, what is it,

124
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: twenty five million, twenty seven million bucks, twenty seven millions.

125
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: Lottery winners don't get that much money. Yeah, and you

126
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: know he just did. Yeah, just call up that check clear. Yes,

127
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: it did very nice in my account yet, So that'll

128
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: be interesting to follow. Stefan Diggs was in the best

129
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: catch competition, so he had he was in a pool, which,

130
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: of course, like imagine where Stefan Diggs want to do

131
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: best catch. Well, he is at a beach club or

132
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: pool club in Las Vegas. He's in the pool on

133
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: a floaty like on a floaty chair, and Jimmy Classon

134
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: of all quarterbacks, walks in to start throwing the balls

135
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: over to Stefan Diggs. So step Dicks catches one in

136
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: one hand, one in the other hand, and then he

137
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: catches one hand between his legs and goes, I've got

138
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: the best hands and the best legs in football. How

139
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: did Jimmy Clausen get on the property? Right? How Jimmy

140
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,679
Speaker 1: class and then they had linear doing the other ones

141
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: for the that's good stuff, I mean nice Classen did too.

142
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: The pool in the environment where Steph is looks pretty cool.

143
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: I know, it looks right, it looks right up his alley.

144
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: And then they had UM one where I think it's

145
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: an old Vegas where you can fly like you can

146
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: be up above and you can be strapped in a

147
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: line like a zip line basically, and you go and

148
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: you go over, you kind of go down some of

149
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: the where some of the casinos are in old Vegas.

150
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: I've only been in Vegas once, so I could be

151
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: explaining this entirely wrong. UM. But then Linear was throwing

152
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: the ball I think up to I can't remember who

153
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: it was, but that was a really cool catch. And

154
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: then for NFC they had another pool one. I think

155
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: it was aman Ross Saint Brown caught a pass after

156
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 1: he flipped into the pool or as he was flipping

157
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: into the pool. Nice. And then there was one UM

158
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: a ball being thrown off the Eiffel Tower in Vegas

159
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 1: to catch it. So there it was. The production value

160
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: of that was really great. I fought into it because

161
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: you always feel about guys diving into a paddy into

162
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: a you know, a pad, you know, just for fun

163
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: and kicks and gels. Kids do it, you know, and

164
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: doing it on the couch, right, Um, but zip lines

165
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: and pools and yeah that's pretty close. Yeah, that's good.

166
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson caught the pass coming out of the Eiffel

167
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,599
Speaker 1: Tower and then it was Patrick's certain that caught it.

168
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: Um doing the zip line. Very nice. So we'll see

169
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: who votes on. Who gets voted on. I should say

170
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: you can vote for Stephan Diggs. I believe the Bills

171
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: retweeted the NFL's tweets, so I punched in Stefan Diggs

172
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: and when I clicked on his name late last night,

173
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: he was leading the way over Patrick's retained, So we'll

174
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: see what happens there. But it was fun to watch

175
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. I enjoy it being a week night.

176
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: You know what's going on, not too much at this point,

177
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: so I'm sure they got some good ratings. We'll see

178
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: about Sunday afternoon. It's crazy because we all know it

179
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: this stuff, and it's not about the competitions. It is

180
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: about people watching it on TV Alida. They don't care.

181
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: Nobody cares about wins and losses in the ear the

182
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: balloon toss and the best catch and yeah, there's points

183
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: that you earn from everything. It's it's something they're they're

184
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: keeping score, right, but it's about who's watching on TV.

185
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: And I'm sure this too. I'll say this, Uh, Vegas,

186
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: no doubt ponied up to get the Pro Bowl in Vegas.

187
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: And the fact that what we just saw, what we

188
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: just saw, yeah, and what we just saw from Steph

189
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: Diggs and the scenics from around the city is exactly

190
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: why Las Vegas ponied up. They want they want ESPN

191
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: to showcase the city, what's going on, the sites, the amenities,

192
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: come visit. Yeah, look at I want to go see

193
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: that pooled Steph was in right, it looked really cool,

194
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: so that we all know that's what it's about. So

195
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: it's you know, why have a game if you don't

196
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: need a game? I would watch what I watched yesterday

197
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: night for the Pro Bowl games, I would watch that again.

198
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: That was entertaining enough to turn on again. I told

199
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: you like eight or eight or so years maybe not

200
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: even that many, six or seven years ago. Um, I

201
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: was the analyst for Westwood one. Do in the Pro Bowl,

202
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: like I told you down in Orlando. I would either that,

203
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 1: yeah we saw last night, than do the game that

204
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: I didn't you know what I was wondering, and not horrible,

205
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: but it was stupid. I was wondering last night watching this.

206
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: Peyton and Eli Manning, they're they're the coaches of the AFC,

207
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: the NFC. They're just basically hanging out having good time. Sure,

208
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: I wonder how much they're getting paid to do that. Man,

209
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that Omaha doesn't work for free. Yeah, right, so, yeah,

210
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: you're right, it must be nice to just go there

211
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: and hang out. Um. Kyle Brandt from NFL Network, he's

212
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: been in Vegas and I was watching Good Morning Football

213
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: this morning. He was talking about Dawson Knox and him

214
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 1: and Dawson must have had a conversation, and Dawson said

215
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: that after the Pro Bowl, he will have been in

216
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: Vegas for ten straight days. That's like, that's eight days

217
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: too many, Dawson Knox. So yeah, that's what Kyle Brant

218
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: was explaining, was that Dawson had planned a trip with

219
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: he said the lineman. I don't know if he meant

220
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: the tight ends or if Dawson was heading out to

221
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: Vegas with a bunch of guys from the team. So

222
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: this trip was already planned before Dawson got invited to

223
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. Now there's three offensive linemen of the

224
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills at the Pro Bowl as well as Dawson Knox,

225
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: so they had this trip already planned, so still take

226
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: the trip and doing the Pro Bowl as well. So

227
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: ten days in Vegas. I also saw in his Instagram

228
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: story his brother was out there. It looked like they

229
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: were at top Golf. So Mitch Morrise's family is out

230
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: there as well. So I think a good amount of

231
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: them brought friends and family with them, which is kind

232
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: of how it goes. Yeah, that was That's kind of

233
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: the modus OPERENDI. You get to go to the Pro

234
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: Bowl and you know, the family, the family shows up,

235
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: particularly it's in Ue. It was tough enough when it

236
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: used to be in Hawaii or whatever, but Orlando made

237
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: it easy, and you know, Vegas makes it more enticing.

238
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 1: Everybody you know showed, all your buddies show up. Yeah,

239
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: oh yeah, blast. If you're young, young in the NFL,

240
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: got to got a little free time in some cash,

241
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: let's go to Vegas. Why Yeah. And it's amazing though too, because,

242
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: like I said, the way they always and I've said

243
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: it many times, the league gets just about every issue

244
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: facing it, right, eventually. I mean, it takes them too

245
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: long to do it because they you know, they got

246
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: thirty two guys. They got to run it past to

247
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: see if it if it goes, But just about every

248
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: issue they have, they get it right. And they's they

249
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: fought this issue for a long time. For a long time,

250
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: nobody said a word, You're just gonna play the game,

251
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: and guys you did. And then when you start having

252
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: guys like Peyton Manning and Dan Marino and Jim Kelly

253
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: and John Elway and some of the other Barry Sanders

254
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: of the world, and you know, Thurman, Thomas, Bruce Smith's,

255
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: these guys that were making big money seven figures and

256
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: more in this case, and way more. Now the clubs

257
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: were like going, I don't know if I want my

258
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: guy out there. And in fact, some of the teams

259
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: were paying their guys not to go. And so the

260
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: league's got to do something about that because they still

261
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: want to have it because they were selling it. And

262
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: so now there's there, They've come around full circle. Now

263
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: they're doing this, you know, balloon toss, dodgeball, long drive

264
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: and how much do the TV like, how much is

265
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: ESPN paying to broadcast this on Thursday night. Well, we'll

266
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: just get a look at the numbers. Yeah, and one

267
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: of those drums. It's probably drawing as much as some

268
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: other major sports playoffs. Yeah, playoffs, which is crazy. It

269
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: is crazy, but it's a commodity that the league capitalizes

270
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: and it all trickles down to the players. And yeah,

271
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: and these big and it fuels fuels our interest because

272
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: we kind of get to feel like in fifteen minutes

273
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: talking about it. Yeah, like people like people who are

274
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: Chiefs fans or Jacksonville fans or whatever, they get it.

275
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: They get a chance to see Steph Diggs, you know. Yeah,

276
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: you can hear them speak. And if you're an NFL

277
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: fan or I fear fan of a team, you're likely

278
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: also a fan of other big names in the NFL,

279
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: or you at least know the names, you're at least interested. Yeah,

280
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: I want to see all right, all right, I heard

281
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: then let me see Yeah, let me see this. I

282
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: heard Jordan Poyer's gonna golf? Is he gonna is he

283
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: gonna win as longest drive? What's he like? Just yeah,

284
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: as a curiosity, and then I think the real challenge

285
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: now going forward, we've seen all this dodgeballs are they

286
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: gonna like change it up next year, you know what

287
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: I mean? Is it gonna be uh something different, because

288
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: are we gonna watch dodgeball again? I don't know, you

289
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: know what I mean. They also did a good job

290
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: moving everything, making sure everything was going quickly, Like longest

291
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: drive segment might have been seven minutes, felt like three

292
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: minutes because it was interesting to watch some of these

293
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: players who would who have never swung a golf club before.

294
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: Compared to Jordan Poyer who said in the off seat

295
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: in the off season, my cat, my handicaps is single digits. Um,

296
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: So I thought that was fun to watch. And then

297
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: they would best catch would come in and out in

298
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: between some of the dodgeball game. So the flow of

299
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: the entire night, I thought they did a really good

300
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: job with So that's right, and that's what it does,

301
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: is it's gotta be a it's gotta be a good

302
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: TV show. Yeah, it was good TV. I will say that.

303
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: I would say I would say it awesome. And they

304
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: need to change it up next year too, you know,

305
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: different events like have a dart I like that tournament

306
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: or cornhole tournament, you know, and whatever the other thing is.

307
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: These guys are going to be competitive no matter what

308
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 1: you're doing. Crazy. Jordan Boyer hits that three twenty five

309
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: or whatever it was, boys went UC, teammates go wild.

310
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: I love it and it's fun. Yeah, so competitive no

311
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 1: matter what happens. Well, yeah, even water balloon toss. They're

312
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: being competitive. True, that's true, which which makes it entertaining

313
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,479
Speaker 1: to watch, right, So that's right. When they when they

314
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: when they start getting competitive and start yelling and screaming

315
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: at each other, which always happens, it turns into a

316
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: little bit more fun. So other things that happened during

317
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: the offseason, We've got Pro Bowl, We've got free agency

318
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: coming up, and then you start to hear from some

319
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: teams who maybe want some rule changes or potential things

320
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: that could be happening next season. Something that's gained a

321
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: little bit of steam that could have happened this year

322
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: but did not, is a neutral site conference championship game.

323
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on that, Steve Tasker, Because that

324
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: could have happened. If the Bills would have moved on

325
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: to the AFC Championship Game, they would have faced the Chiefs.

326
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 1: If the Chiefs would have made it. They did, and

327
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: they're heading to the Super Bowl, But that would have

328
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: been a neutral site game. This kind of has the

329
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: vibes of a college bowl game atmosphere. I would say,

330
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 1: if you're going to do neutral site games for the

331
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: AFC Championship and the NFC Championship game, right, I don't

332
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: know if I like it. I don't know where the

333
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 1: where the benefit is in it for the NFL. How

334
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: much more would the NFL be making off of a

335
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 1: neutral SYE game compared to what they make off of

336
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: a game that's going to be in Buffalo or Kansas City. Well,

337
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: here's here's where it could happen because of the league's

338
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: ability to you know, schedule it what happens is like

339
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: the reason that in the Pro the Super Bowl is

340
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: in Arizona this year is because Arizona, Phoenix, Scottsdale probably

341
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: kicked in one hundred and fifty million bucks said if

342
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: you bring it here, we'll give you one hundred and

343
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: fifty million bucks. Okay, So if it's a championship games,

344
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get one hundred and fifty million bucks.

345
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 1: Maybe it's more than that now because it was years

346
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:53,959
Speaker 1: ago when I knew that, when it was you know,

347
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: less than that. But maybe it's it's ninety million or

348
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: eighty six million. So if you get ninety six million,

349
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: it's two million bucks in the pocket of every NFL team. Thanks,

350
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: you know. Okay, they could put it up forbid and

351
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: those championship games. Because of that, then the league could

352
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 1: be guaranteed not only the revenue from the game itself,

353
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: from the tickets and all that stuff, but that extra

354
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: money as well would go into the kitty and they'd

355
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: be guaranteed, Like, you know, the weather's going to be good,

356
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: because it's going to be in LA. The AFC championship

357
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: games are going to be in so far, the NFC

358
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 1: championship games are going to be in New Orleans. The

359
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game is gonna be in Tampa, you know,

360
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: So you could put it in a spot where it's

361
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: not gonna be six degrees in Buffalo, raining and blowing sideways.

362
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: You get that. But I would say, if you wanted

363
00:20:53,240 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: to do neutral site or at least neutral field, there's

364
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: got to be one team that should be the home

365
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: team and they get the tickets. So if Buffalo had

366
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: to go on the road, like a neutral site AFC

367
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: Championship game, but we had won that we had won

368
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: the higher seed or we were, Buffalo should get seventy

369
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 1: five or eighty or nine of the tickets. Okay, you

370
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: know you got to share them with the other team

371
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 1: like you always do. But you know what I mean.

372
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: So the AFC Championship Game is gonna be in Joe

373
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: Robbie wherever hard Rock Stadium in Miami this year. That's

374
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: where the AC Championship Game as well. Eighty percent of

375
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: the tickets or go to the Buffalo Bills and their

376
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: fan base. I can do with them what they can.

377
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: If they don't sell them, then they go on the

378
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: open market, you know what I mean? Yeah, I get that,

379
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: I could do that. The interesting part about this is

380
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: I think this started to gain some steam when the

381
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 1: tickets went on sale because you we had to sell

382
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: tickets before we even knew if we were making it

383
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 1: because because the NFL led that. So that's where I

384
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: get pissed off about the Bengals players being like, oh,

385
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: there's selling tickets. They were selling tickets too for their

386
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: home AFC Championship game that they didn't have, so that

387
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: is not that just gets me so angry. But anyways,

388
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: so they start selling these tickets for what would be

389
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: the Bills Chiefs AFC championship game that did not happen,

390
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: And yes, in Atlanta, and fifty thousand tickets sold in

391
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: one day, and it was this big hullabaloo. Oh my gosh,

392
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,719
Speaker 1: fifty thousand tickets have been sold. And I was listening

393
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: to WGR when they were talking about this. I think

394
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: maybe it was a day after this tweet happened. I

395
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: think I saw the tweet from Chefty first and on

396
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: WGR they were saying, regardless of where this game was

397
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: going to be played, fifty thousand tickets would have been

398
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: sold because it's an AFC championship game. So what is

399
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: the what is the glitz and the glam and the

400
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 1: galore of tweeting that fifty thousand tickets were sold. You're

401
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,719
Speaker 1: going to fill up the stadium regardless of where this

402
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,479
Speaker 1: game is played. It was sold more than that if

403
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: they had been in Buffalo, exactly, the same thing in

404
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: Kansas City and the same thing in Cincinnati. It didn't

405
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: matter exactly. Yeah, but you know they like to that's

406
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: how make a story out of anything. How fast the

407
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: seats sell is always a thing. But whatever, Yeah, So

408
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, Yeah, That's one of the stories coming

409
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: out about this offseason is you know, neutral sight championship games.

410
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: There's some pluses about it, but I think one of

411
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: the problems, and one of the problems is tradition, you

412
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: earn the right to have the championship game of your

413
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: conference in your stadium. Well, I get it, and it's

414
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 1: it's something to shoot for, and maybe it would lessen

415
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 1: the desire to get the number one seed except that

416
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: you get a buy Yeah, I don't know that. The

417
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: only reason not to do it is because the owners

418
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: they want the advantage of having it in their building

419
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: with their fans. Now, if you could, like I said,

420
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: you both teams don't get all the tickets. The higher

421
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: seed gets the tickets. That's different. Yeah, that is different.

422
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 1: So NFL Executive vice president for Communications Jeff Miller commented

423
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: on this and said he wasn't aware of any conversations

424
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: about converting conference title games into neutral site affairs. He said,

425
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: we haven't had a conversation that at least I'm aware

426
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: of about neutral site games. If the ownership wanted to

427
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: pursue that, I think that they would. There certainly is

428
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: plenty of time to talk about that in the future.

429
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: It's not a new notion, as I understand it, having

430
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 1: come up many years ago. But in the wake of

431
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: the decision to potentially move the AFC title game this year,

432
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: we haven't had a conversation about making future neutral site games,

433
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,959
Speaker 1: scheduling anything, or making any decision and around those. So

434
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 1: it looks like there's no plans in the works at

435
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 1: this point, but definitely something that has been talked about

436
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 1: in the wake of the Bills potentially playing the Kent

437
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: City Chiefs in Atlanta for that neutral cycling that never

438
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: even happened. So you talk all about this and then

439
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: doesn't even go down. Yeah, there was another one, and

440
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 1: I know you probably saw this too. Another rule that's

441
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: being brought up and kicked about, mostly by the San

442
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers is to have a third quarterback

443
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: available for all the teams, so you could an extra

444
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: emergency quarter an emergency quarterback, which was a thing during COVID,

445
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: Remember emergency quarterback. Well, they had the code, they had

446
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: the third quarterback that wasn't with them, Yeah, the quarantine

447
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: quarter quarantine quarterbacks. Yeah, so if you're not exactly the same,

448
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 1: not exactly talking about But here's what you gotta remember.

449
00:25:54,160 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: And I am totally against this one because the thought

450
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: being that you'd have a quarterback that you could throw

451
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: on the roster, the wooden count towards the game day roster.

452
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: You just have him suited up and ready to go,

453
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 1: and he couldn't do anything unless two quarterbacks got hurt,

454
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: which this is coming from the NFC Championship game where

455
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: Brock Party and Josh Johnson got hurt. My problem with it,

456
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: or my question about it, would be, what's keeping you

457
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: from keeping your third quarterback? Yeah, you've got forty seven spots,

458
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: forty eight spots for players, use three on a quarterback.

459
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: Yeah you can. You can do it. Nobody is limiting

460
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: you from doing it. Yeah. But yeah, so you know,

461
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: I get I that's that's silly to me to think

462
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: you need that. But if you can't figure out how

463
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: to do it, just put the guy on and sit

464
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: down a special teams guy like you know me, right,

465
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: so you go sit down, we need we might need

466
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback. I don't have. I just think that's now.

467
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: I'm all about bigger rosters. The rosters getting bigger. It

468
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: takes a load off the level of play. It's just

469
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: the league is better with more players available for each team.

470
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: The league is better with more players available. And it

471
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you have to have ninety guys on game

472
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: day available to play, but it's better with the rosters

473
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: bigger and more guys available to be on the game

474
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: day roster you can have. I love the fact that

475
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: they got like sixteen, it's like sixty nine guys now

476
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: that are available that you can have ready to go

477
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: forty seven, and that's that's huge. That has really helped.

478
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: I think the level of play be sustained when guys

479
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 1: get lost to injury, and so that's part of why

480
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: the Bills were able to overcome so many of their

481
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: injuries this year and other teams as well. So I

482
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: think the way the league is now is better. But

483
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: if you're gonna enlarge the roster, do it for everybody,

484
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: not just for one quarterback. They've done that for an

485
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. You can keep an eighth offensive lineman and

486
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 1: go one heavy on the roster. Yeah, and maybe that's

487
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: how it's going to be from now. And every so

488
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: often they'll add one guy to the roster for whatever

489
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: emergency situation they can think of. Yeah, maybe you up

490
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: forty six to forty seven. And like you said, you

491
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: do anything with that extra spot if you want to

492
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 1: use it for a quarterback grade. If you don't, that's

493
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: fine too. U Kyle Shanahan said he would definitely be

494
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: in favor of it after what went down with Brock

495
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: Purty and then Josh Johnson and Brock Purty have to

496
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: having to come back into the game after tearing that ucl.

497
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: Maybe the game would have gone a little bit differently

498
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: if they had a third quarterback to throw in there.

499
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: It's it's tough to imagine how it would have would

500
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: have gone down. But yeah, well you wanted to see

501
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: that game be a little bit more even, and yeah,

502
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: that was. It was unfortunate. It's part of what makes it.

503
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: It's part of what makes the game great, and it's

504
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: also an a symptom of what could be better about

505
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: the game. You know, um, but you already lost two

506
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: quarterbacks on the season. You, above all people should you,

507
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: the Niners above all everybody should know. You need to

508
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: have a guy, an extra guy. Josh Johnson has played

509
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: on literally twenty professional football team. It's been like six

510
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: or eight NFL teams or a bunch of those. And

511
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: then there's like USFL, XFL, the Arena League. He's played

512
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: for everybody. He played for everybody, Canadian League, everybody. So

513
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: you know he's, you know, not new to the party.

514
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: But nevertheless, and he goes down and you're so, whoever

515
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a guy that backs up Josh Johnson,

516
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: I mean, who's the guy gonna be? Yeah, so I

517
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: don't know, now, how about No, I'm not a fan

518
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: of just keeping it for off I can't believe I'm

519
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: saying this, because I was a big fan of leving

520
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: to have an extra offensive lineman ready, because those guys

521
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: get hurt all the time, and if you lose three

522
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: of those guys, you are in trouble with only seven

523
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: guys active. And that's why teams used to do. You'd

524
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: have a backup swing garden center and a swing tackle.

525
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: They could play right or left tackle, and that was it.

526
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: You went in. That's a problem now, so then they

527
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: now they've got eight guys, and now you've got three

528
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: guys that can go in and yeah, so that's but

529
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: doing it for a quarterback, I don't know why. I

530
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: think quarterbacks are different. You shouldn't have an extra one

531
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: just for a quarterback. When I said it was okay

532
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: for offensive lineman. But that's why I feel maybe up

533
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: the number and that last person can be used for

534
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: whatever position you wanted to. Yeah, nobody in the big

535
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: happens too, Like I don't know who would care? Yeah,

536
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: who would care? I mean, certainly it's more money, no question.

537
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: February third, and there's not much talk about so why

538
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: not talk about this stuff? Huh. Yeah, that's a good point.

539
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: That's a good point. All right, we're gonna take a break.

540
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: When we come back, maybe we'll get into our mail bag. Remember,

541
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: we've got Greg co Sell coming up at two o'clock.

542
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: You don't want to miss that. Stay with us here

543
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live. We're presented by Clyde to help.

544
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio. We're back here on One

545
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: Bills Live, Maddi Glab and Steve Tasker. We've got our

546
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: Friday fan mail bag. If you tweeted a question at us,

547
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: thank you very much. You can continue to do that

548
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: because we'll be on until three o'clock today. So we've

549
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: got a few questions that we're going to dip into here.

550
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: We've got Greg co Sell coming up at two o'clock.

551
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: And Rick says the Bills had an extraordinary number of

552
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: dropped passes this season. Are there other factors besides lack

553
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: of focus and weather that contribute to players not completing

554
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: catchable passes? And how do players overcome dropping passes once

555
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: it's in their heads? For me, if it's a catchable ball,

556
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: there is no excuse. You gotta catch it. And although

557
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: if you're gonna if you don't want any dropped passes,

558
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: you should never throw it because they're gonna happen. You

559
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: can understand some of it, but when it happens as

560
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: often as it did to the Bills, you got to

561
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: address it. Most of the guys will go out and

562
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: they will have somebody shoot them three hundred balls a

563
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: day out of the jugging machine and just catch it.

564
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: Repetition breeds, confidence breeds just the ability to catch under

565
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,479
Speaker 1: any all circumstances. So that's one way they can fix it.

566
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: I think some of the drops a little bit. Some

567
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: of them you got you can say, yeah, okay, Josh

568
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,479
Speaker 1: should have put in a little better spot. You can

569
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: give the defender a little credit or combination thereof not

570
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: quite the right spot with a pass, the receiver feels

571
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: the defender come and thinks it's going to get hit

572
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: or whatever, and he starts to tense up. All that

573
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: stuff changes the equation the ball gets dropped. There's a

574
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: ton of stuff that goes into every throw, every drop pass,

575
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: and it's like Peyton Manning told me one time, it's

576
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: the same thing with drop passes. Peyton Manning said, every

577
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: interception has a story nobody wants to hear, and then

578
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: drop passes the same thing. Every drop has a story

579
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: and nobody wants to hear it. So it's not something

580
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: anybody likes on the offensive side of the ball. There's

581
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: always a ton of reasons for it. Like I said,

582
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: nobody really wants to hear it. You gotta fix it,

583
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: and if everybody in the equation does their part about

584
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: getting better, it should go away eventually, or at least

585
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: get to an acceptable level. Yep, get on the jugs machine,

586
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: work on that chemistry, work on that connection. This team

587
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: has an entire offseason to do so, including out of OTA's,

588
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: out of April workouts, out of training camp. These guys

589
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: spend March and part of February meeting up together and

590
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: training with other people, and there's no better time to

591
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: create a better connection with your teammates than right now.

592
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 1: I know a lot of guys are taking vacations and

593
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: they deserve to do so right now. But when they

594
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: pick the football back up in February or March. We've

595
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: seen this team come together in Florida before, in the

596
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: off season, before OTAs begin, before they have to come

597
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: back for April workouts, and it's something that kind of

598
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: jump starts what you're going to do in April and

599
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: May and beyond. And why not if you are searching

600
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: and if you are working and grinding for the Super Bowl,

601
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: why not be the team that starts early at doing so.

602
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: Because there's thirty one other teams that want to outwork you,

603
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: so you might as well be the one that tries

604
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 1: to outwork everybody else. Nick says, is it true that

605
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver has to face a lot of double teams?

606
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: That's defense of him? I fear. I hear a lot

607
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: from people, but I don't know if it's actually true.

608
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: The general feeling here is, I know Chris Brown and

609
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,240
Speaker 1: I have spoken about this a lot. When Tim Settle

610
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: and de Kwon Jones and Jordan Phillips were healthy and

611
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: rotating in with Ed Ed got far fewer double teams.

612
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: As the season wore on, UM, he did started to

613
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: see more and more of them, and particularly after Vaughan

614
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:33,280
Speaker 1: went down, then things changed. The game where Vaughan got hurt,

615
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: the Detroit game, the Thanksgiving game, was Ed Oliver's probably

616
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: the best game, the best game of the season. Showed

617
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,879
Speaker 1: up big time, right, um, But it's also a game

618
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: where Vaughan for the most part was playing in UM.

619
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: And you know, Detroit didn't have an answer for him.

620
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 1: I think it does say something about Ed that when

621
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 1: he gets single teamed, he's a problem. But guys like

622
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips and Tim Suttle and Dequan Jones draw double

623
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 1: teams before they double Ed. So, UM, if you want

624
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: to be a dominant player, you gotta be dominant all

625
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: the time. And if they're gonna double team you still

626
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: still yeah. And you know everybody's and Ed has shown

627
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 1: the bill flashes of being able to do that, of

628
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:29,760
Speaker 1: being that guy. But it's two inconsistent. It's not every down,

629
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:34,439
Speaker 1: every play, every game, UM that a lot of people

630
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 1: want to look for from Ed. UM. But Ed has

631
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: a high motor. He's an energetic, explosive player and I

632
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: know you always get people saying we had we had it.

633
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: Yesterday somebody said, you Knowed, they should move that Oliver

634
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: outside to end because he's fast, he's explosive, and that's

635
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,919
Speaker 1: what you need coming off the edge. Maybe that's true. Um,

636
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 1: I don't know that Ed has the technique to play

637
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: out there or the desire, But whenever you're you have

638
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: a lot of people saying, you know, giving you a

639
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 1: lot of reasons is why he hasn't been as successful

640
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: as you thought he would. It's a problem for a

641
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 1: guy who's coming up on a contract here. Yeah, that's

642
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 1: what I was going to say. That consistency is what

643
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: we're lacking from at Oliver. We see it in games,

644
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 1: We see him takeover in games, but then there's games

645
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: where we don't hear or see at Oliver. And it

646
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: might be those double teams. Yes, but you have to

647
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,760
Speaker 1: find a way to win against those double teams. And

648
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: when you're coming up on a contract year, maybe he's

649
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: gonna figure it out. Maybe he's going to be more consistent.

650
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: Because whether you're going to be a part of the

651
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills or not, you're trying to get that second contract,

652
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 1: you're trying to get good money on that second contract.

653
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: So I would expect some bigger things from at Oliver

654
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: this season as he continues to work for that second contract.

655
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: So we'll see what's in store for at Oliver this season.

656
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 1: Rachel says, do you think we'll have enough cap space

657
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: for any big splash free agent signings or will we

658
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: have to rely on more modest signings and the draft. Well,

659
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean discounted any opportunity, any chance of having a

660
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 1: big name free agent sign which I think he does

661
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: just about every year. He did it last year and

662
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 1: what happened. Oh yeah, they signed that guy, um von

663
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:25,359
Speaker 1: Miller Miller, So Brandon is preparing himself not to have

664
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: that luxury this year. They did that last year with

665
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: Vaughan And that's I'll say this, though it's been my experience.

666
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: I don't know this to be exactly true or but

667
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: that's an ownership call. That's Terry going. You know, if

668
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: we would happen everybody, that's Terry going, what would happen

669
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 1: if we signed von Miller and Sean McDermott and Leslie

670
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: Frasier and Brandon going, Wow, he's really good? We you know, Well, Okay,

671
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: then let's do it, do it right. So that's how

672
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 1: it kind of happens. Um, that doesn't mean it won't

673
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: happen this year, but it does. It does mean that

674
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean is not anticipating it, and right now they

675
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: would have to jump through some pretty fiery hoops to

676
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,919
Speaker 1: make that happen financially with the cap. Let's not say

677
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 1: that they can't, but yeah, there's there's no reason to

678
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: do that if there's nobody out there that they really

679
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,439
Speaker 1: feel is going to tip the scale like that. Yeah,

680
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,439
Speaker 1: and not only do you have to see a guy

681
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: like that who would do that, you have to make

682
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 1: sure that guy wants to be here. And those two

683
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 1: things don't always go together. Brandon Bean said when we

684
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: spoke with him last that they were around two forty.

685
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: The cap has been announced around two twenty four. So

686
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: they're going to have to do things to get under

687
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: that cap. You talked about it yesterday. You can rework

688
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: some bigger contracts of von Miller restructure, Josh Josh Allen

689
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: restructure would give then you can get under You can

690
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: get under the cap, and maybe it is a little

691
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 1: bit easier than we are thinking it will be. But

692
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean did speak on low budget free agents and

693
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft. You have twenty one unrestricted free agents,

694
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: so I don't see it happening this year. But right

695
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,240
Speaker 1: I Brandon Means said last year it wasn't gonna happen,

696
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 1: and then we signed Von Miller. There are two forty

697
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:23,720
Speaker 1: six ninety five right now, so they're twenty two million

698
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: over the cap. So and guys want money. Yeah, and

699
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: they got guys they gotta pay. They got guys like

700
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds, they got you know, yeah, that would be

701
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: Would that be a big splash free agent signing for

702
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: you getting Tremaine Edmunds depends on the number, if it was,

703
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: if it was a high end linebacker number, like the

704
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars range, like Roquan Smith, Yeah, that would

705
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: be a big splash free agent signing. I know this too.

706
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: I believe this. I don't know it. I believe that

707
00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: if Tremaine Edmunds does hit the market, he's gonna be

708
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: up there. And we've heard Brandon Means say also about

709
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: hitting the market. He wants guys to to see what

710
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: they're worth, to see what they can get on the

711
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 1: open market. Before coming back to the Bills, the Bills

712
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: may offer them a number, and then they can say,

713
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: go see what else is out there, right, and come

714
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: back to us, and then we can try to work

715
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,399
Speaker 1: something out here. You want to play for us, it's

716
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: this number, but we understand if you want to go

717
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: someplace else and play for a bigger number. But here

718
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: you're always going to be welcome back for this number.

719
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: And that's what they do. Some guys take it. What

720
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: do you think about the conversation or the argument, I

721
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: would rather spend the money that you would spend on

722
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,800
Speaker 1: somebody like Tremaine Edmunds on the offense someplace else. Yeah,

723
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: the wide receivers. It's hard a question for a guy

724
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,959
Speaker 1: like for us to answer, because I don't know all

725
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: the things that Tremaine is asked to do on the defense.

726
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: I don't know how hard that is to replace. Certainly,

727
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: there's nobody out there with his physical stature and his

728
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 1: ability age. He's right, twenty six, right twenty five, and

729
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: he's twenty five, He's gonna be twenty five. He's unbelie

730
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,919
Speaker 1: he's like brand new, right he's so he's younger than

731
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:29,800
Speaker 1: Stetson Bennett. So I don't know that the difference between

732
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: replacing Tremaine Edmonds on the defense and what will happen

733
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,399
Speaker 1: to the Bill's defense without him and with somebody else

734
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: in there, and what they could spend it on somewhere.

735
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 1: Like if you if you told me, would I trade

736
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds for a guy like a J. Brown? I

737
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: might do it because a J. Brown would make a

738
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: significant difference on the offensive side of the ball. But

739
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 1: if you're gonna tell me, if would you trade Tremaine

740
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: Edmonds for a tight you know, somebody you know, name

741
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: a left tackle, another left I don't think so, you know,

742
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,280
Speaker 1: but if you could get a guy of like Steph

743
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,399
Speaker 1: Diggs on the other side of Steph Diggs, all right,

744
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: I think that's a bigger difference making position than Tremaine

745
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 1: would be. Yeah, it's tough because the defense that the

746
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: Bills playing, and I've said this before, the two linebackers

747
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: that you have on the field have to be special,

748
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: because we've heard Leslie Fraser and Sean McDermott say the

749
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 1: things that those two are asked to do is a

750
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: lot different than what other players are asked to do,

751
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: and they do a lot And we saw what happened

752
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: when Tremaine was out of the lineup, how this defense

753
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: did not look the same. So it's it's an interesting

754
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,359
Speaker 1: conversation to have. I see both sides of it. But

755
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: I would be sad to see Tremaine Edmunds go because

756
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: he's been here for a while. He's taken a big

757
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: step in his leadership. He's taking a big step in

758
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 1: what he does on the field and how he helps

759
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: this defense. And I think he's becoming one of those core,

760
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 1: one of those glue guys to this team. He certainly has.

761
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: He's been a prominent voice and a prominent member of

762
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,839
Speaker 1: the team since the day was drafted. They plugged him.

763
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 1: He's been one of the few guys. And back in

764
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, things were very different. The roster was in

765
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: a way different spot than it is now, so it's

766
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,399
Speaker 1: harder for guys to get on the field. But Tavius

767
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 1: White Boom, he gets plugged in, he's starting corner. Tremaine

768
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: Edmunds same thing, and the next year he's plugged right in,

769
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins plugged right in the left tackle. They were

770
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,399
Speaker 1: able to get guys in the draft that were good

771
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: enough given where the roster was at that time. Just

772
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: to plug in and leave him. It's harder to do

773
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 1: that now. We saw that last year with Kyrie Elam,

774
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: Christian Benford and other guys who have gone through the

775
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: rookie thing with well even Devin Singletary, you know, guys

776
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: who came in played a little bit, you know, Dawson Knox,

777
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: and now they've worked into it. It's this point is

778
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 1: taken rookies longer. We kind of chalk it up to culture,

779
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: like they have to earn it for Sean mcgermot. But

780
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 1: a little bit of that is true, some of it,

781
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: a lot of it is true. But it's also true

782
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 1: that the roster's not the twenty seventeen roster. Sixteen rosters harder,

783
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 1: harder to guest. Starting spot here on this roster doke anywhere.

784
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: When we come back, we've got Greg Costell coming up

785
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: at two o'clock. We're gonna chat a little Bills chat,

786
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 1: a little NFL chat, a little Super Bowl, So stick

Speaker 1: us shortly. We're gonna dip back into our Friday fan

792
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: mail bag. We got a question about chili. Was it

793
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: What do you like to put in your chili? Tasker?

794
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 1: Who's it from? You got the tweet? Up? Oh? I

795
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: don't have the tweet up. I gotta get it. Somebody

796
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: respond to ask me what I like to put in

797
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 1: my chili? The only thing I do? Guy, huh, I

798
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 1: am all right, I am um. I do something. And

799
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 1: there's always the big question. If you put beans in

800
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: your chili, you don't know beans about chili. I never

801
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: heard that before. You never heard of if you put

802
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: beans in your chili, you don't know beans about chili.

803
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing I like. I know a lot

804
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: of people do put beans in their chili. I put

805
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: beans in my chili. I put pinto beans in my chili.

806
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: But here's why. Here's why it's different. I used I

807
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: just had chili for lunch today. There you go. I

808
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 1: put refried beans in my chili, not whole beans. I

809
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,720
Speaker 1: put refried beans in because then it thickens the chili

810
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: up a little bit, and you get the flavor without

811
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: having beans in it, you get the flavor of the

812
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,399
Speaker 1: beans without having the beans actually in there, and it's

813
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: you know, all the stuff that it gives you. But

814
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: I do like this because you don't like beans, I

815
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 1: would rather have it the way I like it. Yeah,

816
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: you'd rather just like I just have meat chili. I

817
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: did it because I didn't have any and I thought

818
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 1: maybe I should put some. Let me try this, and

819
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 1: I did and it was great. So now it's my thing.

820
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 1: I put refried beans in my chili, so you can't

821
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 1: really tell their beans in it until you kind of

822
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 1: maybe taste it. But I also like my chili like

823
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: like hot enough, Like you need to drink it with milk,

824
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 1: you need, you need a towel to towel your forehead off.

825
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: Oh my spicy I like. I like my chili spicy hot. Well,

826
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,720
Speaker 1: I like spicy hot. I put like five different beans

827
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,800
Speaker 1: in my chili. Do you like soup instead of beans?

828
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,359
Speaker 1: I do turkey like pasta, And then I do like

829
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 1: four or five different types of beans, Like what kind

830
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:48,280
Speaker 1: of beans? Red beans, black beans, red beans, pinto beans,

831
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 1: pinto beans. I'll do the darker than the light light

832
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: red beans. Yeah, really, because it's protein. I I go

833
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 1: at it from a nutritional stamp. If you want protein,

834
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 1: put beef. Put ground beef in. And I'll say this too, Turkey.

835
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,359
Speaker 1: When I when I make my chili and you brown,

836
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: you brown the ground beef. You know, I it's well

837
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: done when I cook it. I mean, I like, like

838
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 1: almost crisp it up the ground beef so you can.

839
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: And I also chop it up extremely fine. Launch My

840
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 1: chili has extremely The ground beef is chopped up extremely fine.

841
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: I do like that instead of having big chunks of

842
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 1: meat like like you know, chunks and ground beef, I

843
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 1: chop it up fine and then I put you know,

844
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 1: the hot. So this Christmas, my dad the gift that

Speaker 1: a chili seasoning and he actually like ground up peppers

847

Speaker 1: it off and eat it, like right there, like tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots.

860
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 1: Kind of you can't eat carrots because you gotta wash them.

861
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 1: But you know all the stuff that you can just

865
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 1: those and I make chili out of those. Do you

00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 1: make spicy margaritas out of them too? What spicy margaritas?

867
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 1: You're grown hallapenos, spicy marks spicy margaritas. Yeah, they're so good.

868
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 1: To explain that to me. Cut up some hallapenos and

869
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 1: you just put it in some tequila and you put

870
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 1: it in the fridge, let a marina marinade to help

871
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: thee in the cliquer. How long do you have to

872
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:10,320
Speaker 1: do that for? It depends on what, Well, what's the ratio?

873
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 1: I cut up one, poured out into a third bottle,

874
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 1: like you pour the tequila in and you till you

875

877
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,359
Speaker 1: do half the mason jar of tequila and you could

878
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 1: cut up a jalapeno. I did that. My dad really

879
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:28,880

900
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 1: I know, I mean, we wish we were talking about

901
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:25,840
Speaker 1: an upcoming super Bowl matchup. Yeah, right now, we're lamenting

902
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:27,919
Speaker 1: the fact that we've got to talking about the office. Yeah,

903
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 1: we're lamenting the fact that we all have a free

904
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 1: weekend because we were actually making other plans and they

905
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:38,759
Speaker 1: fell through. So yeah, you know, unfortunately, I mean it's nice.

906
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,320
Speaker 1: I'll probably have a little bit of a free weekend,

907
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 1: but I head down to Phoenix on Wednesday because we

908
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 1: always shoot the Matchup show on site the day before

909
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,560

911
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 1: We're all, yeah, you know, you know, yeah, we've probably

912
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: got to you gotta have a closet full of all

913
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 1: thirty two teams though, right, I mean, you gotta you

Speaker 1: just play. Actually I don't. It's not it's not alphabetical

915
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 1: and you go a for the odd. Oh no, I don't.

916
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:11,919
Speaker 1: But I love this. This is great. Well, we got

917
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:14,719
Speaker 1: we're neck deep in the off season already. I know,

918
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:16,400
Speaker 1: you got to still deal with the super Bowl. But

919
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 1: we're talking about stuff and you know, pending free agents,

920
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 1: free agents for the Bills, And one of the questions

921
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 1: we've got going on has to do with, you know,

922
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:28,799
Speaker 1: obviously Tremaine Edmonds, who you know, Bills. He's been polarizing

923
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,799
Speaker 1: for Bills fans since since day one. You know, he's

924
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 1: this big, huge, physical, um guy who's in the middle

925
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:40,359
Speaker 1: of the defense. The team really loves him. Fans are

926
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: not enamored with the way here is style of play.

927
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 1: But when you ask around other teams, other teams covet

928
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 1: a guy like him. They you know, he'll command a

929
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 1: big number on the free agent markup. How important is

930
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 1: he specifically to the to the defense? Do you think?

931
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: You know, I think players like that are really employed.

932
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:03,960
Speaker 1: They're not impact players the way fans think of impact players.

933
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: Steve because he's not used as a pass rusher very often,

934
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: so he's not going to have high sacked numbers rarely

935
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 1: in their scheme. Is he asked to cover tight ends,

936
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:17,479
Speaker 1: which is obviously a marquee and a very visible thing.

937
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,800
Speaker 1: So you know, he's really an anchor in the middle

938
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:24,439
Speaker 1: of the defense, and every team needs one of those players. Now,

939
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 1: people can debate whether that players should demand X amount

940
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 1: of dollars or not. That's a debate for each and

941
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 1: every team. You know, that's a different question. But I

942
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 1: think in the context of what they do and what

943
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 1: he's asked to do, he does it very well. Is

944
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:43,799
Speaker 1: he you know, one of those big time impact middle linebackers.

945
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,400
Speaker 1: You know, is he Luke Keickley when Luke Keickley was

946
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 1: with Carolina? No, but he's he's a really solid player.

947
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 1: And I bet if you spoke to Leslie Fraser, which

948
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 1: maybe you have, he would tell you that he's a

949
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 1: really important piece to this defense. I'm sure it's not

950
00:54:57,760 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 1: as simple as this, but a lot of people are

951
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 1: having the conversation of Okay, Tremaine Edmunds as a free agent,

952
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 1: and so is Jordan Poyer. So Tremaine Edmunds or Jordan

953
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: Poyer spoke about impact that Tremaine Edmunds has on this defense,

954
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 1: But what about Jordan Poyer. What type of impact does

955
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 1: he have this year? He played as one of one

956
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,360
Speaker 1: kind of in that defense because Micah Hyde was not

957
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 1: a part of the defense this season with that injury.

958
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 1: But Jordan Poyer was also in and out of the

959
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 1: lineup with injuries, but played through a lot of that

960
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 1: and proved that when he was on the field, the

961
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 1: Bills usually won the game. Now, I would argue, and again,

962
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:40,319
Speaker 1: I always I always feel like there's things well not.

963
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:42,839
Speaker 1: I always feel I know there are things I don't

964
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: know that if I was speaking to Leslie Frasier or

965
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 1: defensive coach that they would tell me things I couldn't

966
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 1: possibly know because I'm not part of the process. But

967
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 1: I would I would argue, just based on the NFL

968
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: today that Jordan Poyer and that position is ultimately a

969
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 1: more important position than Tremaine Edwards. I would make that

970
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,319
Speaker 1: argument just based on you know, looking at the whole

971
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:09,320
Speaker 1: league that in today's NFL that safety position is really

972
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 1: really critical and Jordan Poyer, to me, is a really

973
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:17,240
Speaker 1: solid football player. You know, when Hyde and Poyer are healthy,

974
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 1: you know that's as good as safety tandem as there

975
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 1: is in the league, and I think that's really really

976
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: important to the success of this defense. And you talk

977
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:32,440
Speaker 1: about other defenders who you kind of the conversation always

978
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 1: comes up when a guy like Ed Oliver gets to

979
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,439
Speaker 1: the end of his rookie deal. How good has he been?

980
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 1: Has he met expectations? Certainly, he's a kind of guy

981
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:43,360
Speaker 1: who has played a ton of reps and gotten a

982
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 1: ton of playing time for the Buffalo Bills. So if

983
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 1: he's gone, whether you like him or not, it's a

984
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 1: huge void they have to fill. Give us an idea

985
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 1: of your thumbnail about Ed Oliver, what he is, what

986
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 1: he can be, and how the team uses him, and

987
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:00,799
Speaker 1: how you know what he means the other teams who

988
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:04,320
Speaker 1: face him. Well, it's funny just to really quickly respond

989
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 1: to something you said, which I talk about all the time.

990
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:09,560
Speaker 1: You know, so many fans want players all you know,

991
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 1: we should get rid of him, And that's always easy

992
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:13,359
Speaker 1: to say, Steve, as you know, but then you got

993
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:15,800
Speaker 1: align someone else up and and you know it's always

994
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 1: not that easy. Um, But you know, I think here

995
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 1: would be the question about Ed Oliver, who I think

996
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 1: has played overall pretty well and certainly has shown flashes

997
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 1: of being, you know, a dynamic, explosive interior player. But

998
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:34,439
Speaker 1: I think when you draft a defensive tackle early on

999
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:36,840
Speaker 1: in the draft, which he was a he was a

1000
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: top ten pick, was he not of memory servesally correctly, yes,

1001
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 1: ninth overall. Yeah. Yeah. I think in today's NFL, when

1002
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 1: you draft a defensive tackle, an interior defensive lineman in

1003
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 1: the top ten, what you're expecting is high caliber pass

1004
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 1: rush and one could have that serious debate as to

1005
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 1: whether he is done that in his career. Now, he's

1006
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:04,920
Speaker 1: had moments for sure, and he's a very good run defender.

1007
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 1: He's you know, he's always been viewed as that classic

1008
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 1: three technique one gap player, which is the way they

1009
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 1: play their fronts. They predominantly play over fronts, which means

1010
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 1: the three technique is to the strong side of the

1011
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 1: offensive formation. Sometimes will be a one technique, but he's

1012
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 1: a gap player. That's what he is because he's got

1013
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 1: great quickness off the ball and great explosiveness off the ball,

1014
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: and we've seen that throughout the years. But the big

1015
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 1: question is how do you ultimately feel about him as

1016
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 1: a pass rusher? And I think in the minds of many,

1017
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 1: and the tape tells you this as well. That's where

1018
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:39,720
Speaker 1: it's been kind of erratic. You know, you'd like to

1019
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 1: see him again. Sacks are not the be all and

1020
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 1: end all. It's not as if he has to have

1021
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 1: eighteen sacks. But the question is is he a consistent

1022
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 1: and a pass rusher for what you need at that position?

1023
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 1: And a conversation with him has been you know, when

1024
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:56,920
Speaker 1: he takes on double teams, he kind of disappears in

1025
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 1: the lineup or you don't see that production that you

1026
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 1: would want out at Oliver even when he's taking on

1027
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 1: double teams. But when von Miller got hurt and was

1028
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 1: out of that defensive line rotation, what was the difference

1029
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 1: with and without von Miller in terms of the defensive

1030
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 1: line pressuring the quarterback? Maddie's That was in many ways

1031
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 1: a major deal with the season because von Miller is

1032
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 1: one of the best pass rushers in the NFL and

1033
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 1: has been for years, and they did not have that guy.

1034
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 1: You know, they did not have a great four man

1035
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 1: d line pass rush once von Miller left. They had moments.

1036
00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 1: Every team has moments, but he was really the catalyst.

1037
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 1: And this is not a high percentage blitz defense. Do

1038
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: they blitz? Yes, And one thing they liked to do

1039
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 1: was what we call four man zone exchange pressures, where

1040
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 1: they drop out a defensive lineman and they add in

1041
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 1: usually Milano as the fourth rusher. But it's still a

1042
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: four man rush. They're not a big five man rush defense.

1043
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 1: They're certainly not a six man zero coverage defense. So

1044
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 1: you know, I think when you lose Von Miller, you

1045
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 1: really lose that edge rusher. But and not only that, guys,

1046
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 1: but you know, it totally changes how offenses play against you.

1047
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 1: Von Miller has to be accounted for, particularly in certain situations.

1048
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 1: They did not have anybody on the edge who needed

1049
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 1: to be accounted for in that way. Yeah, that and

1050
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 1: no question when he went down in the Thanksgiving game,

1051
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 1: certainly the Bills defense changed. And I think that you're right.

1052
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:31,040
Speaker 1: The way offenses viewed the Bills defense dictated different attack

1053
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 1: methods and the Bills you had to deal with that.

1054
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 1: And certainly they were on a seven game winning streak

1055
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, but you know, they

1056
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 1: were winning a lot of games by by a single

1057
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 1: possession if you look. Now, let's flip it over to

1058
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 1: the other side. Of the football, the conversations we've been

1059
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:50,720
Speaker 1: having with our listeners and our fans, and the feedback

1060
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 1: we've been getting, and we've been putting it out there

1061
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 1: as well. The Bills need to upgrade and get a

1062
01:00:56,440 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 1: more dominant offensive line and more weapons for Josh Allen.

1063
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 1: So it sounds like it sounds like they really struggled offensively. Well,

1064
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 1: they were number two in yards and number two in points.

1065
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:09,919
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. It's a pretty good year they had,

1066
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 1: but there always was times when it looked like they

1067
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 1: short circuited. You know, what are your thoughts on the

1068
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 1: Bill's offense going forward? Is it you know, is it personnel?

1069
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 1: Is it scheme? Is it drops? And certainly turnovers were

1070
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 1: a big issue. You know what, Steve, It's kind of

1071
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:27,920
Speaker 1: an enigma wrapped in a riddle here because you nailed it.

1072
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 1: They squirrel a lot of points. But I think if

1073
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:34,640
Speaker 1: you really study on film as I do, their offense,

1074
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:38,480
Speaker 1: the things you said are absolutely true. The offensive line

1075
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 1: needs to be upgraded. It's it's it's I would say

1076
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:46,000
Speaker 1: that it's probably in terms of talent average to below average,

1077
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 1: and I personally believe they have a great old line

1078
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 1: coach in Aaron Chromer, So I think they need more

1079
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 1: talent um. I think in terms of weapons, yes, they

1080
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 1: need more weapons really other than digs. Who did you

1081
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 1: feel you could count on on a week to basis?

1082
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:05,200
Speaker 1: And then the run game? You know, this is a

1083
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey question and probably a whole organizational question, is

1084
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 1: what is the run game going to be? You know,

1085
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 1: it's to me watching tape, I almost felt like the

1086
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:18,640
Speaker 1: run game was a case where, hey, we need to

1087
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 1: run the ball now, so let's hand it off because

1088
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:22,439
Speaker 1: we have to throw in a few runs here and there.

1089
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:24,600
Speaker 1: And if it happened to work in that given game,

1090
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:26,920
Speaker 1: maybe they'd run it a little more. But I didn't

1091
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 1: feel like there was a strong marriage or connection between

1092
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 1: the run game and the pass game. And you know,

1093
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:36,440
Speaker 1: as I think I've said to you and Maddie, you aren't.

1094
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 1: I don't think you were on when I said this,

1095
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:41,520
Speaker 1: it's very hard to live with. Let Josh be great

1096
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 1: every single week. And Josh is great, and we all

1097
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 1: got mesmerized myself, I think everybody by what he did

1098
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:51,200
Speaker 1: in the two playoff games last year, and we started

1099
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:53,480
Speaker 1: to think he was going to play that way every

1100
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 1: single week, and that's really and Steve you know this.

1101
01:02:57,520 --> 01:02:59,400
Speaker 1: You know you played with the Hall of Fame quarterback.

1102
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 1: That's hard to do every single week in the NFL.

1103
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 1: And you know you need you need other ways to

1104
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 1: win besides your quarterback just being great every single week. Yeah.

1105
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 1: We and I'll just say this, we we always had

1106
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 1: the conversation weekend. We can't you figure you're gonna get

1107
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:18,440
Speaker 1: Diggs and the other team is going to focus on

1108
01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 1: him and Bill's fan and this is an illustration of

1109
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 1: what Bill's fans felt. Gush, I hope Gabe Davis has

1110
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 1: a good matchup this week, or I hope Isaia Mackenzie

1111
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 1: has a game this week, or I hope you know, uh,

1112
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 1: you know, Khalil Shakir has a game this week. You

1113
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:37,160
Speaker 1: never had this like like, I don't care if they

1114
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 1: can take Diggs away, because we'll kill them with C.

1115
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 1: D Lamb, or we'll kill him with T. Higgins, or

1116
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 1: we'll kill him with you know, yeah the other guy,

1117
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 1: and the Bills were looking for that guy. Yeah, and

1118
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:51,840
Speaker 1: and I agree with that one. Um, you know, and

1119
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,560
Speaker 1: I just the run game to me is and again

1120
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:56,960
Speaker 1: I'm not suggesting that the run game, you know, that

1121
01:03:57,080 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 1: become the foundation of the offense. I'm not suggesting the

1122
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:01,400
Speaker 1: more to the Titans, you know, and give it to

1123
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:04,320
Speaker 1: one back twenty five or thirty times, but you know

1124
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:07,040
Speaker 1: there are times just in giving games where you need

1125
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 1: to line up and run the ball. How many times

1126
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:11,360
Speaker 1: this year Steve and Maddie did we see the Bills

1127
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 1: being ahead by maybe even it was one score? You know,

1128
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 1: close games had a head late third quarter, early fourth

1129
01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 1: quarter where you'd like to be able to line up,

1130
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 1: run the ball, eat a little clock, maybe a mix

1131
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:23,640
Speaker 1: in a play action pass and they would come out

1132
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 1: and throw three straight passes and they'd pun and literally

1133
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 1: thirty seconds would go off the clock. Right too many times? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1134
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 1: So when you have an offense like that where you

1135
01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:37,160
Speaker 1: want to be able to go to the run game,

1136
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:41,400
Speaker 1: to take time off the clock and to really control

1137
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 1: the entire game in the clock, you look to a

1138
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:47,200
Speaker 1: player who hopefully can maybe grow into a bigger role

1139
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:49,680
Speaker 1: next season, and James Cook who could be involved in

1140
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 1: the run game and the passing game. Soft flashes of

1141
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:55,880
Speaker 1: what he could do down the stretch and how he

1142
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:59,760
Speaker 1: could be effective, but that consistency isn't there yet. Hopefully

1143
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 1: to in year number two, for him. But how much

1144
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:05,960
Speaker 1: of a leap and how big of a role do

1145
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 1: you think he's capable of taking on within this offense

1146
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:13,080
Speaker 1: based on what you saw this season from him. Yeah,

1147
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:15,760
Speaker 1: and that's a great question, Mattie. I mean, my guest says,

1148
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 1: no one would see him as a quote unquote true

1149
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 1: foundation back, in other words, a guy that you're going

1150
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:22,760
Speaker 1: to give the ball to two hundred fifty two hundred

1151
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:26,240
Speaker 1: seventy times. And as I said, I don't think, even

1152
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 1: though I believe the run game needs to be a

1153
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:31,919
Speaker 1: more significant part of this offense, are they ever going

1154
01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:35,479
Speaker 1: to be a true run first team where everything works

1155
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 1: off the run game. So I think in that context,

1156
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:41,960
Speaker 1: Cook could be a number one back. You know, I

1157
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 1: think he has the traits to do that because you're

1158
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:46,840
Speaker 1: not going to ask him, like I said, to have

1159
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:49,840
Speaker 1: twenty two twenty five carries every week, And he really

1160
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:52,160
Speaker 1: does give you a lot in the pass game, and

1161
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:54,480
Speaker 1: he certainly got more playing time toward the end of

1162
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 1: the season. You started to see, you know, the reasons

1163
01:05:57,320 --> 01:06:00,240
Speaker 1: he was drafted in the second round, and I think

1164
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:02,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people had him as a player who

1165
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:04,880
Speaker 1: would be drafted there. So I think he's an important

1166
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:08,240
Speaker 1: player as they moved forward, and it's an important offseason

1167
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 1: for how they decide they wanted to deploy him next year.

1168
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:14,560
Speaker 1: And we're talking about now at this time of the year,

1169
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 1: there's been some changes going on. Certainly the New England Patriots.

1170
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 1: Everybody was hooting about the quality of their offense and

1171
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:26,480
Speaker 1: they had a couple of defensive guys calling plays over

1172
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:29,439
Speaker 1: there in Matt Patricia and Joe Judge. Joe Judge, former

1173
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:32,840
Speaker 1: head coach and a special teams coordinator, and it did

1174
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:35,680
Speaker 1: not go well. So they went back and got Bill O'Brien,

1175
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 1: brought another former coach on the staff back for a

1176
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:44,919
Speaker 1: second stint, Mac Jones. What did you see from Mac Jones?

1177
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:47,400
Speaker 1: Certainly it was a little bit of a regression from

1178
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:51,160
Speaker 1: his rookie year, which is surprising to a lot of people.

1179
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:54,640
Speaker 1: But how do you think this marriage is going to

1180
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:57,680
Speaker 1: go between Bill O'Brien and Mac Jones and his Patriot offense?

1181
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 1: You know, I would to go pretty well. You know,

1182
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:03,640
Speaker 1: I've been fortunate enough to get to know Bryce Young

1183
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 1: a little bit, and I asked Bryce Young about Bill

1184
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:09,200
Speaker 1: O'Brien and he loved him. He said, I loved Bill O'Brien.

1185
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:12,160
Speaker 1: You know he I love everything about the way he coaches,

1186
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:14,320
Speaker 1: So you know, I would expect that to go well.

1187
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien. As you know, Steve has been doing this

1188
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:19,160
Speaker 1: for a long time. He's had a lot of success

1189
01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 1: in the league. You know, things went south in Houston,

1190
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:24,640
Speaker 1: not because of what he did as a coach, but

1191
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:26,920
Speaker 1: because they had that whole issue with the front office

1192
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:29,200
Speaker 1: and you know, who should pick the players and who's

1193
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 1: the GM. Those are separate issues. That's not a factor now,

1194
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:34,520
Speaker 1: you know. But he was there with Brady for three

1195
01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 1: or four years. He did a really good job in

1196
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,680
Speaker 1: Houston with their offense. You know, he did obviously a

1197
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:44,080
Speaker 1: really good job at Alabama. He was the one actually

1198
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 1: at Penn State when Christian Hackenberg had the one great

1199
01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 1: year as a freshman. So you know, this guy has

1200
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:52,440
Speaker 1: done a really, really good job with quarterbacks, and I

1201
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 1: would expect that to go well. I would expect Mac Jones,

1202
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:57,960
Speaker 1: who from everything I understand, and I'm sure you've heard

1203
01:07:58,040 --> 01:08:00,160
Speaker 1: the same thing, I think Mac Jones wants to be

1204
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:02,520
Speaker 1: coached hard. I think he's that kind of kid, and

1205
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 1: I think Bill O'Brien is that guy. Another team in

1206
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:08,120
Speaker 1: the AFC East. Who added another big name out of

1207
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 1: coaching position is the Miami Dolphins. They add Vic Fangio

1208
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:16,040
Speaker 1: as their defensive coordinator, and this is a team who

1209
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:19,320
Speaker 1: the Bills duked it out with this season. They went

1210
01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:21,639
Speaker 1: one and one in the regular season, ended up beating

1211
01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:24,639
Speaker 1: them in the playoffs by just three points. But these

1212
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:27,280
Speaker 1: games always came down to the wire this season for

1213
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:30,240
Speaker 1: the Bills, and I think we're expecting that going forward

1214
01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:33,320
Speaker 1: as the Miami Dolphins continue to get better. Do you

1215
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 1: think Vic can can help the Dolphins defense and the

1216
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:40,439
Speaker 1: way that he's ran things before with different teams, Yes,

1217
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:43,439
Speaker 1: And I think the defense will look different and they'll

1218
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:46,719
Speaker 1: have to study it hard because coaches coach against coaches, Maddie,

1219
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:50,760
Speaker 1: as you probably now know, and Vic Fangio's defense is

1220
01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:53,920
Speaker 1: different than what they were playing prior. They played a

1221
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:56,720
Speaker 1: lot of man with a lot of pressure. And not

1222
01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 1: that Vic doesn't play man or doesn't pressure ever, but

1223
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:03,759
Speaker 1: his defense is not Bill foundationally around those two things.

1224
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 1: So it'll be a different defense that the Bills will

1225
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:10,280
Speaker 1: have to prepare for. In the division. He has Vic

1226
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:13,599
Speaker 1: does disciples throughout the league, so they've certainly played against

1227
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 1: a Vic Fangioe style defense before, but now that it's

1228
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 1: in your division and you want to win those two

1229
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:22,559
Speaker 1: division games, you really have to study that in great,

1230
01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 1: great detail. I'm gonna ask you about the San Francisco

1231
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:29,120
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. They're stuck in a in a weird place.

1232
01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:32,680
Speaker 1: You hardly ever see this. Yeah, the quarterback their quarterback situation.

1233
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:38,040
Speaker 1: Trey Lance, who started the season, got hurt. Jimmy Garoppolo

1234
01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:40,920
Speaker 1: took over and started playing well and got hurt. Then

1235
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:44,400
Speaker 1: Brock Purty, who is mister irrelevant seventh round draft pick,

1236
01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:46,559
Speaker 1: nobody expected him to even take a snap or even

1237
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:49,160
Speaker 1: be able to play, won seven games for him to

1238
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:51,280
Speaker 1: finish the year and got him to the championship game

1239
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:56,760
Speaker 1: and got hurt. The what do you you know, what

1240
01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:59,400
Speaker 1: move is there for the Niners here and which one

1241
01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:02,120
Speaker 1: do you think in a vacuum, which guy's the better

1242
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:06,080
Speaker 1: guy for them going forward? Well, Trey Lance will be

1243
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:09,120
Speaker 1: the guy. And you know, obviously they traded up to

1244
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 1: get him Steve and he's been there now for two

1245
01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:14,320
Speaker 1: full years, so he's going to get the shot. I

1246
01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:17,080
Speaker 1: think in an overall, if you're just looking at what

1247
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:19,760
Speaker 1: each guy could do at his best and you know,

1248
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:22,000
Speaker 1: we don't know about Trey Lance, but out there at

1249
01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:27,479
Speaker 1: his best, Lance gives you a more talented player. But

1250
01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:30,320
Speaker 1: you know, unfortunately the sample size is so small, we

1251
01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 1: don't know. But in a sense, this is what they

1252
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:35,280
Speaker 1: were waiting for Trey Lance to be given the opportunity.

1253
01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:38,679
Speaker 1: Hopefully he stays healthy and if he can reach that level,

1254
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:42,439
Speaker 1: then Brock Purdy will probably be the backup as well

1255
01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:45,080
Speaker 1: as he played and by the way down the last

1256
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:48,680
Speaker 1: couple of games, not counting the NFC Championship game, when

1257
01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:51,320
Speaker 1: he didn't play that many snaps, Purdy started to show

1258
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:54,080
Speaker 1: a couple of things that were probably a little concerning

1259
01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:57,440
Speaker 1: for Kyle Shanahan. You know, maybe things that could be corrected,

1260
01:10:57,439 --> 01:10:59,640
Speaker 1: but things that would have had to have been corrected.

1261
01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:03,800
Speaker 1: But Trey Lance just has is a more talented quarterback

1262
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:07,360
Speaker 1: than Brock Purty. Another young quarterback and a team who

1263
01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:09,800
Speaker 1: has to figure out what they're doing at the quarterback

1264
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:14,920
Speaker 1: position is the New York Giants and Daniel Jones looking

1265
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:18,519
Speaker 1: forward deserving a long turn contract. I mean, what he

1266
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:21,240
Speaker 1: did with the Giants nine and seven is their regular

1267
01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:24,400
Speaker 1: season record. They beat the Vikings in that first round

1268
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:27,200
Speaker 1: of the playoffs and unfortunately, don't make it beyond that.

1269
01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:30,559
Speaker 1: I think some of us we're looking forward to watching

1270
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:32,600
Speaker 1: what the Giants could do because Brian day Ball and

1271
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 1: Joe Shane are over there who used to be with

1272
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:37,599
Speaker 1: the Bills. Several former Bills players also on that roster.

1273
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:40,519
Speaker 1: Do you think Daniel Jones is the right fit long

1274
01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:43,719
Speaker 1: term for the New York Giants based on the offense

1275
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:45,920
Speaker 1: that they have, I mean with Saquon Barkley, I know

1276
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:48,320
Speaker 1: that's also a question mark up in the air for

1277
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:53,519
Speaker 1: him being a part of the Giants long term as well. Well,

1278
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:56,840
Speaker 1: that will sign Daniel Jones, Mandy, because the bottom line

1279
01:11:56,920 --> 01:11:58,320
Speaker 1: is this is a great example of what we were

1280
01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:00,680
Speaker 1: talking about earlier. You know, some people might say, oh,

1281
01:12:00,680 --> 01:12:03,479
Speaker 1: you know, Daniel Jones, he's not a great quarterback. Well,

1282
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:06,560
Speaker 1: you know, there's not a lot of great transcendent quarterbacks.

1283
01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:08,920
Speaker 1: They don't fall out of the sky. You gotta line

1284
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 1: up and play. And Daniel Jones, now, who's a smart kid,

1285
01:12:12,360 --> 01:12:15,840
Speaker 1: has a year and Brian Dable Brian Dable system, and

1286
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:19,599
Speaker 1: he'll just get better. And the one thing that stood

1287
01:12:19,600 --> 01:12:22,599
Speaker 1: out is as the year progressed, they started to give

1288
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:26,479
Speaker 1: Jones a little more freedom, you know, they asked him

1289
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:29,200
Speaker 1: to throw the ball more early in the year, they

1290
01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:31,960
Speaker 1: really were not doing that. This offense became much more

1291
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:35,360
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones based than sa Quon Barkley based. And I

1292
01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:38,040
Speaker 1: know he's a free agent as well. My guess is

1293
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:42,160
Speaker 1: if they had to prioritize, they would prioritize Daniel Jones

1294
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 1: over sa Quon Barkley because Jones will continue to get better.

1295
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:48,280
Speaker 1: In the context of this offense. He throws the ball well,

1296
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:51,519
Speaker 1: he's got movement ability, you know. Just because he's never

1297
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 1: going to be Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen or Joe

1298
01:12:55,080 --> 01:12:58,519
Speaker 1: Burrow or Justin Herbert, that doesn't mean you can't line

1299
01:12:58,560 --> 01:13:02,760
Speaker 1: up and play and win with Daniel Jones. Greg, it's

1300
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:04,840
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Week coming up. Enjoy your time. I know

1305
01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:22,719
Speaker 1: does a bunch with the NFL ESPN NFL matchup. Always

1306
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:25,640
Speaker 1: love having him on and love being a part of

1307
01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 1: shows when he's on. He knows so much about so

1308
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 1: many players, and it's nice to hear from somebody on

1309
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:36,320
Speaker 1: the outside that can dissect and look into some of

1310
01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:42,080
Speaker 1: the bill's film on the season and give a fresh shake. Yes,

1311
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:44,720
Speaker 1: And it's also objective, right, so he's not Yeah, you know,

1312
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:47,080
Speaker 1: we talk about him all the time, and you tend

1313
01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:50,280
Speaker 1: to get a little bit wrapped up in you and

1314
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:52,559
Speaker 1: I and Browning, all of us here in our little

1315
01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:56,400
Speaker 1: little you know world. Here we talk about him and

1316
01:13:56,439 --> 01:13:58,040
Speaker 1: think about him all the time. It's nice to get

1317
01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:00,640
Speaker 1: somebody from the outside looking in, and it's right. And

1318
01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:04,040
Speaker 1: in this season, I guess the last thing we kind

1319
01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:06,479
Speaker 1: of came up again and again at this time of year,

1320
01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:08,639
Speaker 1: it's it's okay to say, Okay, we're gonna say goodbye

1321
01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:11,439
Speaker 1: to this guy, But how hard is it going to

1322
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 1: be to get a guy like that back? You know,

1323
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:15,320
Speaker 1: who are you going to line up and you're saying bye?

1324
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:18,760
Speaker 1: You also need to say goodbye. You gotta say hello

1325
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:21,920
Speaker 1: to something, and that sometimes is the best reason for

1326
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:25,479
Speaker 1: not saying goodbye. Yeah, and the hardest reason to say goodbye,

1327
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:28,120
Speaker 1: because you don't know what's out there. You don't know

1328
01:14:28,160 --> 01:14:31,600
Speaker 1: what's for certain. If you're saying bye to somebody, you

1329
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:34,200
Speaker 1: don't always have that person lined up coming in here

1330
01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:37,200
Speaker 1: the next day. That could be solved through free agency

1331
01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:40,720
Speaker 1: or the NFL Draft. So that picture of what the

1332
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:42,680
Speaker 1: roster is gonna look like is going to start to

1333
01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:45,840
Speaker 1: take shape over the next several weeks. We still have

1334
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:48,920
Speaker 1: some time as the scouting combine is the beginning of March,

1335
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:54,120
Speaker 1: and free agency begins on March fifteenth. Is that date

1336
01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:58,120
Speaker 1: the start of the twenty twenty three league year? March fifteenth,

1337
01:14:58,160 --> 01:15:02,439
Speaker 1: So still over month away, but we'll be talking plenty

1338
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:06,040
Speaker 1: about that over the next month. This week approach that

1339
01:15:06,160 --> 01:15:08,840
Speaker 1: big date on the NFL calendar. All right, break time

1340
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:10,559
Speaker 1: for us. When we come back, we'll get back into

1341
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:13,320
Speaker 1: our fan mail bag. If you have anything to ask us,

1373
01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:11,439
Speaker 1: I love that? Okay. Dipping back into our were fan

1374
01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:15,560
Speaker 1: mailbag that we've got going on, tulupa batman. What a

1375
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:19,320
Speaker 1: name says? Who wins in the longest drive contest? Jordan

1376
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:25,320
Speaker 1: Poyer or Joshua Allen? Who do you think? I think

1377
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:29,840
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer three twenty I think Josh Josh said, he

1378
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:33,320
Speaker 1: said on Kyle Brand's podcast, how hard how far he

1379
01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:36,599
Speaker 1: could hit a drive? I can't remember, but I can't remember.

1380
01:17:36,760 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 1: It was three something. Yeah, I can't remember exactly. Josh's

1381
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:43,240
Speaker 1: so long and the swing arc is what does it

1382
01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:47,839
Speaker 1: really helps? But I don't know. Three twenties, that's a Greigan.

1383
01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:52,240
Speaker 1: It's a good shot. Um three twenty five. I'm yeah,

1384
01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:54,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put my money on Josh, just because he's

1385
01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:58,599
Speaker 1: got more leverage, you know, just he's just bigger. Yeah,

1386
01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:01,439
Speaker 1: i'd say Josh too, I say myself, just kidding. No.

1387
01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 1: Rob says, wait, how how long can you drive? It?

1388
01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:09,160
Speaker 1: Not so long anymore. There was a day when I'm

1389
01:18:09,200 --> 01:18:13,680
Speaker 1: the best, the best I ever did. I think it

1390
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:15,600
Speaker 1: was like a three thirty plus I did in my

1391
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:17,200
Speaker 1: back in the day, but that was you know, that

1392
01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:20,960
Speaker 1: was thirty. That was only a year ago. It's twenty

1393
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:23,800
Speaker 1: seven years ago or something like that. So yeah, now

1394
01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:27,160
Speaker 1: I can't. Now I could bust it as hard as

1395
01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:30,799
Speaker 1: I can. I can. Yeah, I can't get there. Just

1396
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:34,840
Speaker 1: don't have it anymore. It's okay. Yeah, my long game

1397
01:18:34,920 --> 01:18:37,200
Speaker 1: is way better than my short game. So we can

1398
01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:40,080
Speaker 1: pair up. That's right, that's right. We could be a

1399
01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:43,040
Speaker 1: good scramble team. Yeah, Rob says, do you think we

1400
01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:46,519
Speaker 1: see any surprise cuts like Trey White or other big

1401
01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:52,400
Speaker 1: cap hit guys. There's always a couple of surprises. Last

1402
01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:54,400
Speaker 1: year was a pleasant surprise with the signing of Vaughan.

1403
01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:57,840
Speaker 1: There's also been other surprises that were really good. When

1404
01:18:58,400 --> 01:19:03,519
Speaker 1: Shady Yeah, yes, that trade, Matt Milano's signing his extension,

1405
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:07,200
Speaker 1: U tarn Johnson signing his extension. They were very reasonable,

1406
01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:09,360
Speaker 1: didn't break the bank, but they were really good for

1407
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:11,479
Speaker 1: those players and kind of set them up to be

1408
01:19:11,640 --> 01:19:14,160
Speaker 1: real pros and get and settle in and be long

1409
01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:18,680
Speaker 1: term vets. Here with Buffalo, maybe that would happen, but

1410
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:21,680
Speaker 1: it's always up to the player to do that. The

1411
01:19:21,720 --> 01:19:24,800
Speaker 1: club is under the constraints. They listen, you know, we'll

1412
01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:26,320
Speaker 1: let you be a free agent. You can go out

1413
01:19:26,360 --> 01:19:27,960
Speaker 1: and check it out, but here's our number. And some

1414
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 1: of the players will just say, you know what, I

1415
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:31,599
Speaker 1: love it here, this is my spot. I'm gonna stay. Um.

1416
01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:35,360
Speaker 1: We've seen it happen with Shack Lawson and Jordan Phillips

1417
01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:37,439
Speaker 1: where they left come back and they said, you know what,

1418
01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:39,000
Speaker 1: I got to get back there. This has been great,

1419
01:19:39,040 --> 01:19:41,200
Speaker 1: so that there is something to be said for that.

1420
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:45,760
Speaker 1: But it used to be when I first came in

1421
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:52,080
Speaker 1: the league back in the other century, there was always

1422
01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:55,040
Speaker 1: a surprise. There was always a surprise, you know, like

1423
01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:57,639
Speaker 1: the question said was gonna be There's always at least

1424
01:19:57,640 --> 01:19:59,920
Speaker 1: one surprise a veteran that people like, well, oh my god,

1425
01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:03,120
Speaker 1: she got cut. That kind of thing. Uh. It doesn't

1426
01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:07,000
Speaker 1: happen as often or regularly now, but it does happen.

1427
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:12,000
Speaker 1: You know this. I think the game has changed so

1428
01:20:12,080 --> 01:20:15,840
Speaker 1: much because of free agency and the salary cap that

1429
01:20:18,640 --> 01:20:20,640
Speaker 1: it's more in you can see it coming, you know,

1430
01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:23,679
Speaker 1: people have an idea that's coming. So a fewer surprises. Yeah,

1431
01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:26,679
Speaker 1: I think we've seen over the last few years, we've

1432
01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:30,519
Speaker 1: seen players go out of their way to want to

1433
01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:34,400
Speaker 1: stay in Buffalo, and that means taking a little bit less,

1434
01:20:34,439 --> 01:20:40,800
Speaker 1: restructuring their contract, taking a new contract or an extension

1435
01:20:41,280 --> 01:20:44,240
Speaker 1: that may have been a little bit more elsewhere, because

1436
01:20:44,280 --> 01:20:46,599
Speaker 1: they want to be a part of what's happening in Buffalo,

1437
01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:50,000
Speaker 1: what's brewing in Buffalo. So I would expect to see

1438
01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:53,880
Speaker 1: some of that this offseason as well, hopefully more than

1439
01:20:53,960 --> 01:20:58,559
Speaker 1: just some, because there are so many unrestricted free agents

1440
01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:01,720
Speaker 1: right now a part of this team. Um, we're not

1441
01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:04,240
Speaker 1: gonna get all of them back. We know that every

1442
01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:07,280
Speaker 1: single year, but it'll be interesting to see out of

1443
01:21:07,320 --> 01:21:12,240
Speaker 1: the twenty four including restricted, how many are Buffalo bills

1444
01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:17,320
Speaker 1: in twenty three. Some of them will be Um, for sure,

1445
01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:19,800
Speaker 1: some of them will be a handful at least, But

1446
01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:22,760
Speaker 1: you know there's gonna be some of these guys are

1447
01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:24,960
Speaker 1: gonna walk out and they want to They're gonna want

1448
01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:27,200
Speaker 1: to see you know. For instance, both running Devin Singletary

1449
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:29,920
Speaker 1: and Taiwan Jones are both free agents. Devin's gonna be

1450
01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:33,240
Speaker 1: out there, and he played a significant role on a

1451
01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:35,240
Speaker 1: team that was in the playoff run for the last

1452
01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:38,040
Speaker 1: every year of his career. Yeah, and he's always turned

1453
01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:40,960
Speaker 1: it on toward the end of the season and and

1454
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:44,280
Speaker 1: it would be interesting. And now, certainly running backs, even

1455
01:21:44,320 --> 01:21:46,960
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley, if he busts out on the open market,

1456
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:49,280
Speaker 1: they're not going to break the bank like a real

1457
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:52,639
Speaker 1: Kuan Smith or a you know, or Von Miller. It's

1458
01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:56,000
Speaker 1: just a different position, um, And it'll be interesting to

1459
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:58,720
Speaker 1: see what happens with that. Plus, there's a ton of

1460
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:02,559
Speaker 1: running backs available this year, so it's a depressed market

1461
01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:05,479
Speaker 1: because there's so many guys they could pick from. And

1462
01:22:05,720 --> 01:22:08,880
Speaker 1: also is and it's that position that you always hear

1463
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:13,400
Speaker 1: about being devalued year over year. We'll see rob let's see.

1464
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:18,639
Speaker 1: Emily says, do you see any further coaching changes. Well,

1465
01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:24,960
Speaker 1: we've seen the safety's coach, coach changed out, and sometimes

1466
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:28,920
Speaker 1: you'll there'll be changes, but they won't be you know,

1467
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:30,880
Speaker 1: certain I don't think there's there's not going to be

1468
01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:34,639
Speaker 1: any changes at the coordinator level. To me, there won't

1469
01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:38,960
Speaker 1: be unless one of the coordinators is he says I'm done,

1470
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:41,799
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go some do something else. Um, I don't

1471
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:48,559
Speaker 1: since any of that happening. So while technically there probably

1472
01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:50,479
Speaker 1: is going to you know, some new quality control guys,

1473
01:22:50,720 --> 01:22:52,599
Speaker 1: the guys that have been grinding away in the film

1474
01:22:52,640 --> 01:22:54,320
Speaker 1: room like mush You know, they've been in a cave

1475
01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:57,160
Speaker 1: like a mushroom for three years doing it, doing a

1476
01:22:57,240 --> 01:22:59,080
Speaker 1: quality control. Maybe they're saying, listen, I got a chance

1477
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:01,519
Speaker 1: to be an assist, to coach someplace and get out

1478
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:04,320
Speaker 1: of the film room, so that those kind of changes

1479
01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:08,599
Speaker 1: may happen, but in a more major way than Jimmy

1480
01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:13,439
Speaker 1: Salgado and Joe Dana. Probably not. I'd say there's going

1481
01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:15,720
Speaker 1: to be far less changes this year than there were

1482
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:18,920
Speaker 1: last year. Last year, I think we welcomed over ten

1483
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:22,679
Speaker 1: new coaches into the building this year. Don't think it's

1484
01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:26,559
Speaker 1: going to be as many. All Right, bills for the money.

1485
01:23:26,840 --> 01:23:30,040
Speaker 1: What are the differences working on the set of other

1486
01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:34,679
Speaker 1: shows in the offseason in comparison to during this season. Well,

1487
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:36,760
Speaker 1: we talk about a lot of our shows. What other

1488
01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:41,040
Speaker 1: shows One Bill's live postgame show, the Sean McDermott Show

1489
01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:42,679
Speaker 1: doesn't go. I mean we don't do that. We don't

1490
01:23:42,720 --> 01:23:44,840
Speaker 1: do our postgame show or pregame show. You're not going

1491
01:23:44,920 --> 01:23:46,600
Speaker 1: to do any more eminem shows? Are you going to

1492
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:51,000
Speaker 1: do those? Well, we're done for this season. But I

1493
01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:53,960
Speaker 1: had a conversation with Mica over the phone. We were

1494
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:56,720
Speaker 1: going to try and squeeze in one more this season, um,

1495
01:23:57,080 --> 01:24:01,559
Speaker 1: but Mike was busy packing up the house, not by

1496
01:24:01,600 --> 01:24:03,760
Speaker 1: any means, he's not moving anywhere, just packing up and

1497
01:24:03,800 --> 01:24:06,000
Speaker 1: heading back to California, which is where they spend the

1498
01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:08,720
Speaker 1: off season. UM, so we couldn't squeeze one where and

1499
01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:13,040
Speaker 1: wish we could have. But he did say very interested

1500
01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:16,479
Speaker 1: doing this next season. So we're trying to figure out

1501
01:24:16,520 --> 01:24:18,320
Speaker 1: do we want to do it weekly next season, do

1502
01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:21,080
Speaker 1: we want to do it every other week? So that's

1503
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:23,800
Speaker 1: in the works. We could do one as early as

1504
01:24:23,880 --> 01:24:26,880
Speaker 1: April when the guys come back, so that was fun

1505
01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:29,200
Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, for those of you who don't know,

1506
01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:32,320
Speaker 1: this is these are the same two seats that Marty

1507
01:24:32,400 --> 01:24:35,519
Speaker 1: and Duffer sit in for their pre games for the Sabers,

1508
01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:37,439
Speaker 1: So we have to keep our work space. Now we

1509
01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:40,639
Speaker 1: share our space. Yes zero is nice and tidy, Yes,

1510
01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:46,639
Speaker 1: well tidy enough, but that's you know, and it's interesting

1511
01:24:46,640 --> 01:24:48,160
Speaker 1: too because I know you do this too. Once in

1512
01:24:48,160 --> 01:24:51,680
Speaker 1: a while during the season. We have guys, like when

1513
01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:54,439
Speaker 1: we're doing the Miami Dolphins, come a web. Armando Salgaro

1514
01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:57,720
Speaker 1: on the show we're doing Arizona, we'll have like Manuci

1515
01:24:57,840 --> 01:25:00,599
Speaker 1: came on this last week, and we'll have other players

1516
01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:03,040
Speaker 1: like you know, playing New Orleans or whatever. We'll have

1517
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:08,280
Speaker 1: you know, when we played Cincinnati, we had Dave Laugham

1518
01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:11,120
Speaker 1: come on the color analysts. So we do the same

1519
01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 1: thing and reciprocate for other cities. So you can imagine

1520
01:25:14,439 --> 01:25:17,160
Speaker 1: when the Bills and particularly well when Damar's incident, when

1521
01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:23,280
Speaker 1: Damar had his cardiac arrest. Luckily the club said don't

1522
01:25:23,320 --> 01:25:27,240
Speaker 1: do any but we I got literally over a dozen

1523
01:25:27,320 --> 01:25:30,519
Speaker 1: requests to come on different shows around the country in

1524
01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:34,679
Speaker 1: Chicago and LA and Seattle and San Francisco and Houston

1525
01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:39,280
Speaker 1: and Miami. All these stations wanted some input from people

1526
01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:42,960
Speaker 1: in the organization about it. So we do that a

1527
01:25:43,200 --> 01:25:46,000
Speaker 1: ton during the regular season. Every time you're playing a team,

1528
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:51,080
Speaker 1: you go on their radio. Seems like, right, So that's

1529
01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:54,519
Speaker 1: kind of for the course. Yeah, So that's really other

1530
01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:57,400
Speaker 1: than that, everything everything quiets down now in the offseason

1531
01:25:57,400 --> 01:26:00,800
Speaker 1: because nobody's got anything. But we don't do as much

1532
01:26:00,960 --> 01:26:04,920
Speaker 1: during the off season. This show stays on if say,

1533
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:09,720
Speaker 1: for instance, I say the Jets or the Dolphins or

1534
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:12,840
Speaker 1: New England, if they were in the head coaching search,

1535
01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:17,839
Speaker 1: we would talk. We would go on with Leg Doozable

1536
01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:19,880
Speaker 1: would come on with us. He does the Jets stuff.

1537
01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:21,519
Speaker 1: He'd come back and talk to us about their new

1538
01:26:21,560 --> 01:26:23,639
Speaker 1: head coach if they got one, that kind of stuff,

1539
01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:26,280
Speaker 1: and we do that, you know, if that happened here

1540
01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:28,640
Speaker 1: as well, if there's any major story coming out of

1541
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:32,120
Speaker 1: one of the NFL cities, we kind of reciprocate visitations.

1542
01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:35,000
Speaker 1: But that's the only other shows we're on. Yeah, but

1543
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:37,800
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live stays on throughout the off seasons. Not

1544
01:26:37,840 --> 01:26:40,960
Speaker 1: too many of these constant right, Yeah, not too many

1545
01:26:40,960 --> 01:26:43,960
Speaker 1: teams have them. No, I've I talk. I have a

1546
01:26:43,960 --> 01:26:46,839
Speaker 1: big group text with all the team reporters across the NFL,

1547
01:26:47,360 --> 01:26:50,960
Speaker 1: and I think there's only a handful of teams that

1548
01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:53,639
Speaker 1: do a daily radio show. And I don't think any

1549
01:26:53,680 --> 01:26:56,880
Speaker 1: team does a two hour daily radio show. I know

1550
01:26:57,200 --> 01:26:59,720
Speaker 1: we used to be three hours, but quite a bit

1551
01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:01,600
Speaker 1: to do in the off season. But you know what,

1552
01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:05,599
Speaker 1: the NFL likes to stay busy in the off season.

1553
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:08,360
Speaker 1: It seems like there's always something to talk about in

1554
01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:11,240
Speaker 1: all these tent pole events that happen in the off season.

1555
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:13,599
Speaker 1: It makes the NFL season really seem like a year

1556
01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:17,280
Speaker 1: long season, not really just half a year. What the

1557
01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:20,040
Speaker 1: guys are doing on the field for those eighteen weeks

1558
01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:22,680
Speaker 1: of the regular season and beyond. We're gonna take a

1559
01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:24,760
Speaker 1: break when we come back. We're gonna wrap things up

1560
01:27:24,840 --> 01:27:27,519
Speaker 1: here and say goodbye to y'all for the weekend. So

1561
01:27:27,720 --> 01:27:30,040
Speaker 1: don't go anywhere. We're One Bill's Live, presented by Klyda

1562
01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:46,040
Speaker 1: Health on Buffalo Bills Radio. Happy Friday, everybody, Happy Friday afternoon.

1563
01:27:46,240 --> 01:27:50,840
Speaker 1: In our final segment of the show, head into the weekend,

1564
01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:53,840
Speaker 1: what do we learn today? Steve, It was great to

1565
01:27:53,880 --> 01:27:55,960
Speaker 1: have Greg ko Sell on and chat with us about

1566
01:27:56,080 --> 01:27:58,040
Speaker 1: we got a ton of stuff. Some of our players

1567
01:27:58,040 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 1: who are going to be free agents the problem and

1568
01:28:00,360 --> 01:28:02,479
Speaker 1: we discussed it. In the first segment of the show.

1569
01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:04,679
Speaker 1: We asked about, you know, Tremaine Edmonds and how important

1570
01:28:04,680 --> 01:28:06,400
Speaker 1: he was to the middle of the defense, and he said, yeah,

1571
01:28:06,479 --> 01:28:10,160
Speaker 1: he goes and I he's great. He's it's a position

1572
01:28:10,280 --> 01:28:13,400
Speaker 1: that how tough is it to replace that position as

1573
01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:17,040
Speaker 1: opposed to you know, a wide receiver one or yea

1574
01:28:17,280 --> 01:28:21,080
Speaker 1: or for instance the Jordan Poyer conversation, it's probably more

1575
01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:24,360
Speaker 1: important the defense. Jordan Poyer is actually more important, more vital,

1576
01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:28,519
Speaker 1: and more difficult to replace, and more so they'refore more valuable. Huh,

1577
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:31,519
Speaker 1: even in his age. It's an interesting take because you think, wow,

1578
01:28:31,600 --> 01:28:33,439
Speaker 1: Jordan Poory is a little nicked up, he's having trouble

1579
01:28:33,479 --> 01:28:37,120
Speaker 1: staying healthy and he's thirty. Thing. But we talked about yesterday.

1580
01:28:37,160 --> 01:28:41,400
Speaker 1: This defense is built from their secondary up. They invested

1581
01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:44,200
Speaker 1: into their secondary earlier on and based on the way

1582
01:28:44,240 --> 01:28:48,559
Speaker 1: the NFL is today, they had better success investing in

1583
01:28:48,560 --> 01:28:51,759
Speaker 1: their secondary. They got good players, you know, even Christian

1584
01:28:51,800 --> 01:28:55,360
Speaker 1: Benford and Dane Jackson along with Tradavious White, along with

1585
01:28:55,400 --> 01:28:58,400
Speaker 1: Poorer and Hyde and all those assets they threw into

1586
01:28:58,400 --> 01:29:01,920
Speaker 1: that secondary all kind of played and tarn Johnson and

1587
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:06,240
Speaker 1: you look at the reflection and the front the defensive end.

1588
01:29:07,360 --> 01:29:10,320
Speaker 1: Those guys have not been as good on their end

1589
01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:12,000
Speaker 1: of the defense as those young players have been on

1590
01:29:12,040 --> 01:29:15,400
Speaker 1: the back end. So yeah, it's interesting problem. Yeah. Well,

1591
01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:18,880
Speaker 1: we'll be back on Monday afternoon to discuss more about

1592
01:29:18,960 --> 01:29:21,760
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills free agency. Who could be a part

1593
01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:23,880
Speaker 1: of this team, who maybe couldn't be a part of

1594
01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:26,800
Speaker 1: this team and more on Monday, So make sure you

1595
01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:30,760
Speaker 1: join us Monday afternoon. Have a good weekend everybody. We

1596
01:29:30,880 --> 01:29:32,479
Speaker 1: will see you next week.
